If you saw my previous post, I was talking about my shopping list for the Priceline 40% off cosmetics sale (sadly, now over). I didn't end up getting everything on my list and subbed out a few things.
I actually had more in my basket but then told myself, do I really NEED another matte mauvey brown lipstick (Covergirl Katy Kat Matte in Catoure). It actually turns out my instinct to not get it was spot on because they are now 1/2 price this week.
So here are the products I did actually end up getting –
L'Oreal True Match Foundation in N2 – This was on my list and luckily the stand was pretty well stocked and I got my shade. I'm wearing it today and so far am really really happy with it!
Sensationail Gel Polish in Sugar Plum & Heirloom Lilac – I originally had the Opallac gel polishes on my list to go with my Opallac kit, but I saw these on clearance for $7.00 and the bargain hunter in me decided to go with these instead. It looks like they are discontinuing this line so good idea to stock up (I may try and grab more this weekend at this price). I didn't get the 40% discount on these but they were cheap enough.
Maybelline Master Strobing Stick in 200 Medium – Impulse purchase alert! I swatched this on my hand and thought it was such a nice subtle highlight that I could chuck under my foundation (or over). I got the shade 200 Medium because it was goldy and the lighter shade was more pinky. I've discovered recently that goldy highlighters definitely suit me more. Another product i'm wearing today and really like, I usually go for a bit more BAM with my highlighter but this is just a nice subtle glow.
Essence Make Me Brow in Blondey Browns – This was on my list and so damn cheap! Wearing it today and can definitely see how people compare it as a good dupe to the Benefit Gimmebrow (at a fraction of the price).
Maybelline Volume Express Colossal The Big Shot Mascara – I love trying the new Maybelline mascaras, I'm going to give this a week or 2 before I give a verdict because I like my mascaras to dry out a bit but so far it gave me a bit of volume and length so yay!.
Essence Satin Blush in Satin Love – This was an on the whim purchase. I've been steering clear of my regular coral blushes and moving towards more nude/mauve/rosey blushes and this fit the bill. I wore it today and holy pigmentation! I went a touch overboard and had to get some intense buffing in to get away from clown territory eeeeek!. The shade however, is pretty but next time i'll be not so heavy handed.
Essence Matt Touch Blush in Rose Me Up! – Again, another blush in the colour family i'm currently drawn to. This is a pretty matte blush and looked pretty subtle when swatched. Looking forward to trying it out.
That's it for another Priceline sale! (well until theres a good catalogue sale lol). I still had a voucher from christmas so put this towards my purchase and ended up only spending $35 of my own money.
Did you pick anything up in the sale?

Amy has made my day again
There's no after-smacc image he's dead and we all fucking know it
Rye rye #2 now with ice cream!
Just imagine an ice cream shop near the fahc HQ…
I just spent an hour of my life making this masterpiece. TAG YOURSELF I'm an ice-cold cowboy who secretly murdered a guy
(side note, i made sure that every descriptor could apply to multiple suspects, kind of interesting if you wanna read all of the descriptors)
Let's start it off with the one and only, the canon pairing of a sad sk8er boi and his tiny baker: Jack Zimmerman/Eric "Bitty" Bittle!
THE FIC THAT CHANGED E V E R Y T H I N G u don't even KNOW oh my god
u read this and u r like: "ice crew au…?? wut" but U GUYS. READ IT.
I AM. BEGGING U. its so fucking funny but also so fucking meaningful and abt CREATING A Fa mILY !!!! and LoVe!!!! and frieNDShIP!!!
p.s i don't want to spoil it but if u read it message me and ill talk to u abt the part that made me cry like actual tears bc thank god for friendships and acknowledging that shit is hard
this was… in it's own way.. a hard fic to read (which makes it the best fic to read! pain! i love it! help me!) it's very very very beautifully written and i hold it very close to my heart….how it portrays jack by himself and how hard it must've been…it also manages to weave in how mental illness plays its own role, even once you get together with the person you're pretty sure is it for you. somewhat painful but cathartic and achingly tender.
umm bitty has a big dick. that's it.
BUT then there's feelings! and angst! and misunderstanding! (the best type too! u know when one is like so crazily in love with the other and thinks its shockingly obvious but surprise, it's not!) it's just fantastic!
imagine a world where jack jumping over the snowbank, bringing bitty coffee, going on long walks classifies (in jack's mind) as dating. so when bitty gets asked out, jack cannot believe the b e t r ay a l! we're dating bitty! just read this and be happy :)
left the city, my family, my precinct
oh my goodness this fic.
jack accidentally sends bittle a dick pick.
:0 ;) <3 ___ <3 = summary of the fic
this is just….so cute?!??!?! and funny?!??! and 1!!!!!
bitty is contestant at a baking tournament for the falconers where jack and tater are the judges. at least, thats where it starts off.
tater is fucking hILARIOUS this fic in general made me laugh a lot.
if u about that dom/sub life well…….just know that eric pins jacks hands to the bed and there's v intense blushing that boi turns red like a tomato and i live 4 it.
eric is a tad too southern for me but it's the only thing this fic doesn't do perfectly :))))
considering how popular this fic is it actually sat open in a tab for a looong loooooong time just bc…well… it's 285,748 words. im an all or nothing girl as in i once read the entire maze runner trilogy in one night so i had to find the right time
first of all: angst. second of all: angst. third of all: ….. u guessed it… angst. BUT don't worry, for every drop of angst there's a metro-fucking-ton of smut and sweetness :)))) ;))) what this fic does brilliantly is create an OMC that is at the forefront of the story and do it seamlessly. this is a pretty iconic fic and tbh im definitely not one for fics longer than 100k but this was a fuckin' beaut man
rake the springtime across your sheets
oh god this was P A I N F U L but in a very beautiful way??? (that's how u know the writing was siCK) ambiguously happy ending but tbh in the end this fic is really just abt the unspoken quiet truth of being in love, of loving, of being human just lke Fffffffuck me up
listen. i'm not a fluff person. idk i get bored. BUT. BUUUUUT. BUT. this fic.
AMAZING. this fic is all about the details and the little moments that make Bitty and Jack ~*BittyandJack*~
Bonus favorite line: "Thank god there are pancakes to serve. Pancakes are also very nice, and something he can actually have."
Chowder POV so this is both hiLARIOUS and surprisingly touching. Jack and Bitty help Chowder buy clothes for New England winter. As a person living in New England, I approve this message.
WIPS: *Hate That I Love You plays in the background*
so if u ever played world of warcraft u r gonna love it and if you've never played world of warcraft u r gonna love it
this fic is just SO CREATIVE?!?!! like the format of it is B O M B. its just. so good. oh ym god.
(also the name is "medic please!" get it? cuz eric's a medic in the game.? and check..PLEASE! ugh I'm a nerd 4 this pic
ghostbusters au except not bc copyright
at first i was like…ghost hunters au?? rlly? but now I'm like GHOST HUNTERS AU? B R I L L I A N T.
characters are on point, its funny (an actual line of the fic "Jack sat down at his computer, pulled open a tab, and googled "How to encourage a teammate". lmao what a mess)
but also theres some mystery and intrigue and suspense and in general this is a Good.
this is another AU that i was like…punk band u ….rlly? but then i was like PUNK BAND AU FUCK YEAH im a sucker for asshole Jack. i'm not even into punk?? but im into this fic U ___ U
This Don't Even Feel Like Falling
filed under "praise kink mmmm"
honestly? porn..? "Bitty is the one to tie Jack's hands for Hazeapalooza; afterward, he ties Jack's hands for their own private enjoyment. " like?? I'm not sorry.
but also not established relationship more like fwb but u know and i know and ngozi knows that ain't the game we're playing here
not usually a big fan of soulmate aus but what i love about this fic is the pacing and even tho soulmate aus where seeing your soulmate = seeing color for the first time isn't totally new this felt super fresh and original!
aw MAN this gave me the feeeeeels. established relationship but jack is not out, it's a bit angsty but the jack perspective is just so gooood
EXTRA: It all started with a big Russian hockey player calling a small cat-loving hockey player a rat. You either h8 it or u luv it. In my case, I Love it, capital L, so enjoy: Alexei "Tater" Mashkov/Kent Parson
Kent has been telling himself a story, ever since the Q. It's the epic story of Parse and Zimms, and he's in love with it. // this fic is specifically meant for patater newbies and this fic does an amazing job of showing why kent and alexei just make sense. its honestly a Blessing.
lmao im gonna be 90 years old and still reccing Febricant's fics…for real when i saw they wrote patater i was like…no..im dreaMing…or im dead? is . is heaven?? rlly unique approach to how she gets them together and gr8 build up :)))) Bless Febricant
i need to wake up, i need me some love…
honestly? shameless fluff. established relationship (they're ENGAGED FOR GOD'S SAKE) short but Good

Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairwoman Mary Landrieu, D-La., said her panel will vote Wednesday on who to move to the floor as the nominee to lead the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Landrieu said talks with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the White House were continuing on swapping Norman Bay, who President Obama nominated to lead the FERC with strong backing from Reid, for acting chairwoman Cheryl LaFleur, who is favored by Republicans and some Democrats.
"We don't know what we're voting on, but we're voting," Landrieu told reporters Thursday in the Capitol.
Landrieu indicated, however, that she was willing to proceed on Bay if no deal is reached. She noted former Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., a former energy committee chairman who Landrieu called a mentor, recommended Bay for the post.
"This is not as cut and dry as some people might like to make it out to be," she said. "Norman Bay is very intelligent and has a good bit of experience — you know, not exactly the experience some people would like — but Pete Domenici's word goes a long way with me."
Some lawmakers, largely Republicans as well as Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., would rather see Bay take a turn at commissioner before leading the agency, which regulates the nation's electric grid. Bay has headed the FERC's enforcement office, but has never served as commissioner, while LaFleur has served as acting chairwoman since November. The White House instead nominated LaFleur to serve another term as commissioner.
"The concern is that there is a very capable individual who is currently acting chair, and she was an Obama nominee," Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., told reporters this week. "I just don't see a reason for the president to demote her to put this other guy in there as the chairman of the FERC. I would rather see her continue as chair."
Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who is challenging Landrieu for her Senate seat, joined the rest of the GOP Louisiana House delegation in a letter that urged Landrieu to block Bay's nomination.
"We are concerned that Mr. Bay lacks the qualifications to serve on the FERC and that he will simply act as a rubberstamp for the Administration's policies," the letter said.
Much of the insistence on Bay has come from Reid. He told the Wall Street Journal recently that Obama passed over LaFleur, "Because I don't want her as chair."

Villefort buries himself in work, building the case against Benedetto. On the day of the trial, he finally approaches Madame Villefort and makes clear that he knows she is a murderer. He tells his wife that he will not let her die on the scaffold, as that would bring shame to both himself and to his son. Villefort instead instructs her to take her own life, using the poison she used to commit her murders. If she has not done this by the time he returns from court, he warns, he will publicly denounce her and have the authorities execute her.
Benedetto's trial is a major event, and all of the fashionable Parisians turn out at the courthouse to watch. During the trial, Benedetto announces that he is the son of Villefort. He tells the story of his birth—how his father buried him alive, how a man then stabbed Villefort and stole the box in which he was buried, and how he was taken in and raised by adoptive parents. The court asks for proof, but Villefort interrupts and declares himself guilty.
[H]e felt he had passed beyond the bounds of vengeance, and that he could no longer say, "God is for and with me."
On his way back home, Villefort regrets condemning his wife to death, realizing that he is no more innocent than she. He decides that he will let her live, and that they will flee France together. However, when he comes home, he finds that she has already followed his orders. In addition to killing herself, Madame Villefort has also killed Edward, unwilling to let her son live on without her.
Seeking solace, Villefort runs to see his father, Noirtier, who is accompanied by the Abbé Busoni. The Abbé reveals his true identity as Edmond Dantès. Grabbing him by the wrist, Villefort leads Dantès to the corpses of his wife and son, and he asks if Dantès's vengeance is complete now. At the sight of the dead boy, Dantès's face takes on a look of anguish. He tries to revive Edward with the powerful elixir that he uses earlier, but is unsuccessful. Dantès approaches Villefort in order to offer him comfort in the knowledge that Valentine is not really dead, but Villefort has apparently gone insane. For the first time, Dantès doubts the justice of the project he has been carrying out. Back at home, he tells Maximilian that they will leave Paris the next day.
The next day Maximilian goes to say goodbye to Julie and Emmanuel. Monte Cristo comes to pick up Maximilian, and they leave Paris together. As they go, Monte Cristo looks out over the city and declares his work of vengeance done.
Maximilian and Monte Cristo arrive in Marseilles in time to watch Albert board a ship bound for his military post in Africa. Maximilian goes to visit his father's grave, while Monte Cristo pays a visit to Mercédès, who is now living in the small house that Louis Dantès once inhabited. Monte Cristo promises Mercédès that he will help her son in any way he can. Mercédès expresses passive resignation toward her ill fate, claiming that it must be God's will. Monte Cristo chides her, reminding her that God created man with free will. Monte Cristo then meets Maximilian in the cemetery and tells him to wait in Marseilles in several days, since he must take care of some business in Italy.

by Traders Reserve | December 16, 2013 11:26 am
Inarguably, small-cap stocks have been the heroes in 2013 as illustrated by the Russell 2000 (IWM[1]), an index comprised of the smallest companies on the NYSE. Up 32.2% this year, the index outshined its larger counterparts the S&P 500, up 25.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, up 20.7%.
If you think small caps will transition from heroes to dogs as we start a new year due to higher interest rates, you are sorely mistaken. In fact, contrary to popular belief, there hasn't been a correlation between rising rates and small-cap underperformance for the past several decades.
Since the inception of the Russell 2000 in 1979, small-cap stocks have performed better than large-cap stocks when rates rose. Not only that; they actually appreciated more in rising rate climates than in declining ones.
If that doesn't convince you that the little guys won't face headwinds in 2014, here's another fact that might. In the past 35 years, the Russell 2000 has shown up the S&P 500 in December, January and February, considered "the sweet spot" for small-cap stocks.
History also tells us that the past 12 months of high valuations for small caps (20 times earnings), shouldn't be harmful either. Since the late 1970s, four periods have passed with similar valuations, and the Russell 2000 went higher three in three of them, according to Citigroup.
So here are five small-cap stocks with tailwinds behind them for 2014:
Founded in 1945 by two teachers in Abe Lincoln's own Prairie State of Illinois, Horace Mann Educators (HMN[3]) is an $8.5 billion national multiline insurance company. It caters to public K-12 teachers, administrators and their families in the US and is expected to grow 14% by 2020. As of 2013, some 6.2 million students attended K-12, supported by personnel totaling 2.6 million and 298,879 administrators. Another 412,992 college students are planning to become teachers, and 1.2 million are retired. Combined third-quarter assets combined amounted to $8.5 billion, increasing 4.9% year-over- year.
Realogy (RLGY[4]), a real estate and relocation services company with ties to 104 countries, including the United States, is the parent company to Century 21, Coldwell Banker and Sotheby's (BID[5]) International Realty. In 2012, Realogy was a part of approximately 26% of all existing domestic transactions involving a real estate firm. Third-quarter 2013 revenue soared 21.2% to $1.55 billion, buoyed by a 29% surge in year-over-year home sale transactions. The company sees that figure growing between 17% to 19% in 2014.
Back in June, molecular diagnostics company Cepheid (CPHD[6]) gained FDA approval for its updated Xpert MRSA/SA BC test (part of its popular GeneXpert system). The test detects infections in blood specific to causes of sepsis in hospitalized patients. The $2.7 billion company reported third-quarter 2013 revenues of $100.1 million, a 24% increase over the same quarter a year ago. Cepheid offers the most popular molecular diagnostic platform on the market; its stock has performed admirably, up 25% over the past six months.
Unlike Dr.Koop.com, which went from an IPO darling to out of business two years later, WebMD (WBMD[7]) has survived by diversifying its income sources. While 2012 did not bode well for the company, it has since turned around. It revamped its advertising strategies and significantly cut costs. The stock is up a staggering 144% in 2013. WebMD is expected to turn a profit this year with earnings forecast to rise 131% to 60 cents a share in 2014.
Fast-food restaurant chain Wendy's (WEN[8]) is up 78% year-to-date thanks to a revamped menu and remodeling of stores that began Feb. 21. Some 57% of the 2013 growth happened since that date. Shares have risen from $5 per share at the end of 2012 to $8.37 today; plus it yields a 2.4% dividend. The company recently raised its guidance for full-year 2013 and earnings are expected to grow at an average rate of more than 16% a year for the next five years or so.

Army Says It Will Withhold $19.6 Million From Halliburton, Citing Potential Contract Breach
By PHILIP SHENON
Published: February 8, 2007
The Army announced during a House oversight committee hearing on Wednesday that it would withhold $19.6 million from the Halliburton Company after recently discovering that the contractor had hired the company Blackwater USA to provide armed security guards in Iraq, a potential breach of its government contract.
The Army has said that its contracts with Halliburton, which has a five-year, $16 billion deal to support American military operations in Iraq, generally barred the company and its subcontractors from using private armed guards. But in a statement, Halliburton disagreed with the Army's interpretation and suggested that there was nothing to prohibit Halliburton's subcontractors from hiring such guards.
The announcement came during a hearing of the House Government Oversight Committee that included emotional testimony about the killing of four Blackwater employees in Falluja, Iraq, in 2004.
In an e-mail message made public in the hearing and written only hours before the four were killed, another Blackwater worker told the company to end the ''smoke and mirror show'' and provide its employees in the war zone with adequate weapons and armored vehicles.
''I need ammo,'' the worker, Tom Powell, said in an e-mail message dated March 30, 2004, to supervisors at Blackwater, which is based in North Carolina. ''I need Glocks and M4s -- all the client body armor you got,'' he wrote. ''Guys are in the field with borrowed stuff and in harm's way.''
Mr. Powell said he had requested heavily armored vehicles ''from the beginning, and from my understanding, an order is still pending.''
''Why? I ask,'' he added.
The next day, a mob in Falluja attacked a supply convoy that was being guarded by Blackwater employees and killed four guards, later stringing up two of the mutilated, charred bodies from a bridge. The men were riding in vehicles that were only lightly armored, and their families have claimed in a lawsuit against Blackwater that the company failed to provide basic protective equipment.
Blackwater's general counsel, Andrew G. Howell, told the House panel on Wednesday that the company, which also had a State Department contract to provide security services, believed that it had had an appropriate number of armored vehicles in Iraq. He said, ''We have not skimped on equipment -- no sir.''
The panel is investigating Blackwater and the work of other large American military contractors in Iraq.
In the dispute with Halliburton, the Army insisted repeatedly to Congressional investigators last year that it could find no evidence that Blackwater had been hired by Halliburton and its subcontractors in Iraq for security.
But in a letter dated Tuesday and made public on Wednesday, Army Secretary Francis J. Harvey said that additional investigation showed that Blackwater had provided private security guards for a Halliburton subcontractor, ESS Support Services, a construction and food services business, and that the costs ''were not itemized in the contracts or invoices'' prepared by ESS.
''The Army is continuing to investigate this matter and we are committed to providing full disclosures of the results of our investigations to the committee,'' he wrote to the chairman of the oversight committee, Henry A. Waxman, a California Democrat. ''We share your commitment to ensuring that contractors supporting the military and reconstruction efforts in Iraq comply with the terms and conditions of these contracts.''
In a statement, Halliburton insisted that it was not in breach of its contract with the government.
''Nowhere does it prohibit subcontractors from supplementing that protection with private security,'' Halliburton said. ''It is unrealistic to think that the military can both wage a war and at the same time protect every necessary civilian movement in Iraq.'' The company said it would ''sit down with the Army to discuss and resolve these issues.''
The committee also heard from family members of the four security guards.
''Why did Blackwater choose to make a profit over the safety of our loved ones?'' asked Kathryn Helvenston-Wettengel, the mother of one of the men. ''Blackwater gets paid for the number of warm bodies it can put on the ground in certain locations throughout the world. If some are killed, it replaces them at a moment's notice.''
''Although everyone remembers those images of the bodies being burnt, beaten, dragged through the streets and ultimately hung from a bridge, we continue to relive that horror day after day, as those men were our fathers, sons and husbands,'' she said.
5 Charged in Iraq Bribery Scheme
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (Reuters) -- Three Army Reserve officers and two American civilians have been charged with taking or arranging for more than $1 million in cash, sports cars, jewelry and other items to be used as bribes in rigging bids on Iraqi reconstruction contracts, United States officials said Wednesday.
They said the five have been indicted by a federal grand jury in New Jersey in a scheme that involved the theft of millions of dollars of Iraq reconstruction money and the awarding of contracts to Philip Bloom, who doled out the bribes.
The officials said the agency in charge of Iraqi reconstruction lost more than $3.6 million because of the corruption scheme that began in December 2003 and lasted two years.
Mr. Bloom, who has already pleaded guilty, received more than $8.6 million in rigged contracts, the officials said.
They said more than $500,000 was smuggled into the United States. ''They stole the money in Iraq and then smuggled vast sums into the United States to support lavish lifestyles,'' said Mark W. Everson, the Internal Revenue Service commissioner.
The 25-count indictment charged Col. Curtis Whiteford, Lt. Col. Debra Harrison and Lt. Col. Michael Wheeler, and two civilians, Michael Morris and William Driver.
Colonel Whiteford was once the second-most senior official in the Coalition Provisional Authority for the South Central Region in Iraq, while Colonel Harrison was its acting comptroller. Colonel Wheeler was an adviser for Iraqi reconstruction projects.
Mr. Driver is married to Colonel Harrison. Mr. Morris, who was living in Romania, was accused of helping Mr. Bloom funnel money to the military officials.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Detroit Pistons worked hard to earn home-court advantage for the first two rounds of the NBA playoffs.
After easily winning Game 1 of the opener against Toronto, they don't plan to give up the edge they worked so hard to get.
''It takes seven months to get home court and you can lose it on one possession, in one game,'' Detroit coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday after practice. ''I think we understand that.''
Pistons guard Jon Barry clearly does.
''When you're the road team, your goal is to win one of two and they still have that goal in mind, and it's still attainable,'' Barry said. ''As far as us letting down, that's not going to happen. We know how important this is.
''We don't want to go to the visiting arena tied at 1, and possibly lose that game and face elimination on their home court. It's big for us because if we do win this, we know at worst, we'll come home tied at 2.''
Toronto's Chris Childs said the Raptors absolutely need to win Wednesday night.
''A lot of guys say you don't go in there thinking about a split, but now you don't have a choice,'' Childs said. ''We need the split to take the home-court advantage away and then bring it back to Toronto.''
Detroit beat the Raptors by 22 points, the largest margin of any first-round win, because they held them to nine points in the first quarter, 11 in the third and 29.9-percent shooting.
Childs said the Raptors were unhappy with themselves after the way they performed.
''You're disappointed, you're upset, you're embarrassed,'' he said. ''You can't believe that you're going into the fourth quarter and you've only got 54 points. Of course it's embarrassing.''
Detroit expects the Raptors to make changes for Game 2, perhaps putting center Hakeem Olajuwon in the starting lineup. Olajuwon scored 10 points in just 22 minutes in Game 1.
''We'll try to anticipate what the changes might be, but you never know until the game comes,'' Carlisle said. ''The key for us is to keep our sense of urgency and to understand that winning the first game means nothing. A great example of that is San Antonio.''
After winning Game 1 of the series with Seattle by 21 points, the Spurs lost Game 2 98-90 Monday night.
The Pistons have apologized for their fans' distasteful decision to boo during the playing of ''O Canada'' on Sunday and will be proactive before it's played Wednesday night.

The music video for "A Pair of Brown Eyes" was directed in 1985 by Alex Cox and was set in a Nineteen Eighty-Four-esque Britain with Margaret Thatcher in the place of Big Brother as a supreme, god-like authoritarian figure.

It was strange, however, since the same machine had run spamassassin for a few months without problems until yesterday.

Israel's Housing Minister Considering New Tax on Vacant Land
Housing Minister Atias has proposed reviving the levy, as a way of freeing up more land for development.
Housing Minister Ariel Atias recently suggested levying property taxes on landowners who do not exercise their building rights on land they own.
These people have been criticized in recent years for allegedly trying to reduce the housing supply and inflating land prices. A property tax law was enacted in the 1990s when the country was facing a much more serious land crisis than it does now, but it was dropped from the books 12 years ago after the Knesset concluded that it was problematic.
Ohad Dannus, head of the Israel Real Estate Appraisers Association, is one person who supports reinstating the tax on vacant land, which he says "is the most social and just tax that has ever existed in Israel."
However, attorney Tzvi Shoob counters that "it placed a particularly heavy burden on the public, and mainly created jobs for attorneys and appraisers."
1. What is property tax?
Property tax is levied on the owner of a vacant plot at an annual rate of 2.5% of the land's value; it is designed to encourage landowners to build on land or to sell it to someone who will develop it. When in force, the tax affected some 120,000 landowners a year.
2. Why was the tax rescinded?
It was rescinded because it turned out that the state was preventing landowners from building while simultaneously charging them for leaving their land vacant. Shabtai Azriel, who founded a nonprofit called Victims of Property Tax, offers several examples: The Netanya dump was actually on private land, and the owners of various parts of the property were charged NIS 20,000 a year. The same thing happened to people who owned problematic property including archaeological sites, near the smokestacks in Hadera, along the fence at Sde Dov airport, alongside train tracks, near the Haifa highway, under high-tension lines, on sites with oil pipelines, in areas used by the military and in places lacking planning approval.
"There were cases where landowners didn't know where their plot was but were charged the tax," says Azriel.
3. If the tax was so problematic, why does Atias want to reinstate it?
Atias is aware that the tax in its former form was problematic. Therefore, he is proposing taxes for land that the state can prove is zoned for construction.
4. If it seems like a good idea, why is it drawing criticism?
First off, 90% of land owned by the public is not ready for or awaiting construction. Thus, such a tax would only push owners to build on only a small percentage of privately held land. Would this really increase the housing supply that dramatically?
Furthermore, there's something unfair about this tax. For the past several months, the Israel Land Administration has not been able to sell land at the pace it sold last year, because the market is not as good. Under these conditions, private landowners are having trouble building on or selling their plots, too. Is it fair to charge them taxes simply because the real estate market is slowing down?
5. Would such a tax benefit tycoons?
Dannus argues that dropping the tax benefited tycoons and enabled them to amass property. That may not be true. A large proportion of the land in tycoons' hands is ILA property. In theory, the state shouldn't have any problem encouraging the owners to build on such land, or it could take it back. It doesn't need a special tax for this.
6. Who would profit from the tax - and who would lose?
Ultimately, beneficiaries would include the Finance Ministry, of course, which would be reaping millions of shekels. Plus appraisers and lawyers who represent landowners in their appeals. The losers would obviously be private landowners, who would be footing the bill.

NLS avenges loss to Foley
NEW LONDON -- Ten days in October made all the difference.
On the 15th, New London-Spicer lost to Foley 38-24. On Saturday night -- again on the Wildcats' own field --the results were reversed with NLS winning a Section 6AAA semifinal tilt, 31-10.
The big change over the 10-day spread was defense.
The Falcons piled up for 449 yards the first meeting but got just 241 yards this time.
The Wildcats (7-2) move on to play Albany (9-0) at St. Cloud State's Husky Stadium at 5 p.m. Friday. This, too, will be a rematch of West Central North foes. Albany won a Sept. 19 meeting with NLS, 8-7.
Foley led 7-3 at halftime, but the Wildcats dominated the second half.
"We just picked up the intensity and started hitting on all cylinders," said NLS senior running back Shawn Halliday about the team's second-half surge.
The defense held Foley (6-3) to three yards in three plays to start the third quarter.
Jay Moten returned Justin Wennerberg's punt 41 yards down the stadium side to the Foley 15. Four plays later, quarterback Jared Williamson carried six yards to the two. Fullback Taylor Dammermann burrowed in for a 10-7 Wildcat lead, after the extra-point by Caleb Friedrich.
The NLS kick coverage forced Kevin Grothis to fumble the kickoff and D.J. Rothwell recovered for the Wildcats.
On the first play, Halliday followed the blocking of left guard Tony Dauk, left tackle Jared Klever and fullback Dammermannn to run untouched to the north end zone. The two touchdowns just 11 seconds apart put NLS up 17-7.
In the fourth, Williamson carried nine yards to the Falcon 25 for a first down. Dammermann spurted to the one and Williamson snuck it in for a 24-10 lead.
Defensive tackle Rothwell, linebackers John Nething and Luke Reiter and end Justin Zylstra were a few of the Wildcats who kept the pressure on Wennerberg, also the Foley quarterback.
That pressure forced him into two interceptions -- the second by Sam Schmid was returned 46 yards with 7:31 left to punch the Wildcats' ticket to St. Cloud for the second time in three years.
"We knew we would be pretty good this year," said Halliday. "We knew we had a shot."

Evening stw.
I've an interview for a new job on Tuesday. Obviously I meet the essential criteria, but, i am fairly shite at interviews.
What snippets of wisdom would anyone like to share? What does the interviewer want to hear?
One of the questions will be along the line of 'implementing performqnce management systems and progress against targets'...in real terms..?
Ta in advance.
Chat Forum
Job interview, what's the word on the streets?
Evening stw.
What's your price? Everyone has one.
A couple of quid, or two mars bar duo's!
Go naked. Interviews are better when you're naked.
one of the interviewers is a died in the wool speedo wearer, the other....well, she does naked sit ups at the top of her stairs.
Thats a competition i'm never gonna win!
well, she does naked sit ups at the top of her stairs.
lol. I really hope it's not true. I'd bleach my eyes first.
Many unsuccessful candidates neglect to hug their interviewer goodbye.
The words I most commonly see on the street are
Start off with the basics - shake hands, make eye contact, wait to be invited to sit down. First impressions really do count for an awful lot.
If you don't understand a question ask them to repeat and if you don't know the answer just say so. The interviewer generally will know the answer and will therefore spot any BS!
Maintain eye contact throughout, try and stay relaxed and think of a couple of questions to ask them also.
Finally, do your research on the company if you haven't already. They may ask what you know about the firm and these days there isn't an excuse not to know the basics.
Good luck...
Danny B
You have to look them in the eye and say "Tubal Cain, is there no help for the widows son?"
Instant promotion
you lot, except for danny b goode are not a lot of help.
Genuine lol at keep claer though! That's gonna pop up in my head 20minutes into the interview!
end every answer with
Punch the largest person in the room immediately upon entering the interview. ...companies are crying out for people yhat are assertive. If there is a woman there then you want to at least slap her arse at some point to reinforce the image of you as the alpha male.
Danny B
Even if the interview isn't strictly competency-based, that's probably the best approach to take since you can combine the bullshit-bingo with examples of when you actually achieved stuff.
But you need to work hard on your examples, practice describing them and think of situations where each one applies.
Stay Calm
Don't babble
Listen to the Questions
Run through some examples of things you have done beforehand, but be careful not to shoehorn them into the wrong question.
If you can't wing something well don't, it's outside of what I have done recently but I can pick it up/done similar before.
Have some good questions for them, what is the future plans, how did the role become available etc.
Start every answer with "There was this one time at band camp....."
Bird is the word.
I dont have anything to do with this lot but the free stuff is a start. Look on the free resources page. If you want any more stuff, pm me...
Hum in a high-pitch every time the interviewer speaks. Works every time.
When you get to the end of the interview, and they ask if you have any questions, ask them -
"why should I choose to take a job here over any other offers I may have on the table?"
Turns the tables nicely and gets them thinking....
Always give examples to back up your answers.
Think about the question:
'Why do you want this job?' its often the first question.
Think about responses to any other questions you reckon you may be asked. Even write down bullet points to help you revise them. However, dont script them - just try and sound natural when giving responses.
Get a friend to ask you those questions and give the responses as you would in the interview. Take such a rehearsal seriously and stay 'in the zone' during it.
In the interview, take deep breaths before you go in. Relax and smile -this will help you come over better.
Good luck.
All sound advice ^^^^
I've been in shed loads of interviews over the last 18 months. If they ask competency based qs then approach your answer in the STAR format:
S - Situation (brief description/introduce the scene)
T - Task (describe what you had to do)
A - Action (describe how you achieved task)
R - Review ( was it a success? What would you change for next time)
Be prepared to be asked about your weaknesses. Fading foreign languages, music skills and a tendency to concentrate on professional topics rather than cultural ones are mine. I don't think those weaknesses are likely to crash the interview.
Also, and I think this is really important; it's an opportunity for you to research the role further and discuss pay. I've been to a couple of interviews out of morbid curiosity only to find the job is better than expected and accepting the offer.
Good luck. I quite enjoy them now!!
make sure you wear a bluetooth headset throughout the interview, it'll make you look very important and the kind of guy everyone wants to have on their team
All sound advice ^^^^
i had my first interview in over 10 years at the start of the month, my god how they have changed.
mine was a 'Competency based' interview, luckily the wife prepared me, have a read of this...
It's sounds a load of b*lox but i wrote down 5 examples of answers to various questions, such as "give an example of when you were stressed" - "give an example of when you were part of a team"
i actually got the job and they said they were impressed, so i guessed it worked.
good luck
Every last word.

"By choosing variable life and investing in the equity sub-accounts, we expect to build up a significant amount of cash value within the policy."
A life insurance policy's cash value is viewed as an investment account: Profits aren't taxed as long as they remain inside the policy. "I'm hoping to retire in about 20 years," says Barnwell. "By then, I plan to tap the cash value of the policy, tax-free." Untaxed policy loans and withdrawals are permitted under current law, if handled carefully.
Ivan Bishop, vice president of product marketing for Pacific Life Insurance Co. in Newport Beach, California, provides the following example: A 45-year-old nonsmoker in good health buys a $500,000 variable life insurance policy and agrees to pay $10,000 per year in premiums. Over the next 20 years, he pays a total of $200,000.
If those premiums are placed into investment accounts that earn 10% per year, before policy expenses when he retires at 65 (a possible outcome), the policy's cash value will be in excess of $400,000.
"Under these assumptions," says Bishop, "he can withdraw about $35,000 from the cash value, tax-free, each year. This can go on for nearly six years, until he has withdrawn $200,000, which is the amount he has paid in premiums."
At that point, he can start to borrow that same $35,000 per year. "This can go on until age 90, with those assumptions," s
ays Bishop, "gradually reducing the policy's death benefit from around $500,000 to less than $200,000. However, under those same assumptions, taking $40,000 or more per year from the policy will cause the policy to lapse and result in a large tax bill, so you need to be careful."
Interest income need not be taxable. You can reduce the taxes you pay on income from bonds as well as from stocks. "Generally, the higher your tax bracket, the more appropriate an investment in tax-exempt municipal bonds will be," says Cheryl Holland, a financial planner at Abacus Planning Group in Columbia, South Carolina.
You might earn 5% from a Treasury bond, for example, and take home only 3.5%, after taxes, assuming a 30% tax bracket in 2002. In that case, you would receive greater after-tax income from a municipal bond yielding 4%. "If you're buying municipal bonds," says Holland, "the longer the time to maturity, the higher the commission to the broker selling the bond. The same may be true for credit ratings. Typically, the lower the quality of the bond, the higher the commission to the selling broker."
With muni bonds, beware of "too much" tax shelter. If you buy out-of-state municipal bonds, you may pay state income taxes, while locally issued bonds are totally tax-free.

In addition to being the host of a multiple Emmy-winning talk show, media mogul Winfrey has earned accolades for, among other things, her work as an actress, a magazine publisher, a producer and a philanthropist. Although she was born into poverty and abused as a child, Winfrey didn't allow her dire circumstances to defeat her. At 18, she won the Miss Black Tennessee pageant and a year later became the first black woman to anchor the evening news in Nashville. Winfrey further honed her broadcast skills in Baltimore before moving to Chicago to host a daily talk show in 1984. She was so popular that the series (A.M. Chicago) was renamed in her honor and became a national hit in syndication in 1986. Oprah quickly became a household name, a wildly successful yet still accessible woman who struggled with her weight and talked about surviving sexual molestation. But hosting a talk show wasn't all Winfrey had in mind. Although untrained as an actress, she was nominated for an Oscar for her powerful performance as a slave in Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple. (Two decades later Winfrey produced a musical version on Broadway.) She created Harpo productions to house her show and to produce socially relevant films. She also launched a monthly book segment on her show and her selections immediately became best sellers. She extended the Oprah brand in publishing by creating her own magazine (O) and in broadcasting by launching syndicated series with Dr. Phil McGraw and chef Rachael Ray. Winfrey's legacy grew even larger when she founded and funded a South African leadership school for impoverished girls she fondly referred to as her daughters. In 2011, Winfrey will wrap up her syndicated show and launch OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, described as a cable network "devoted to self-discovery."

Blogging remains the clearest and most definitive medium for demonstrating expertise on the web.
This the gist of an excellent read from marketing professional, Dorie Clark (@dorieclark), in the Harvard Business Review entitled 'If You're Serious About Ideas, Get Serious About Blogging.'
Law firms have a keen interest today in developing strategies around short form social media (Facebook, Twitter, sharing on LinkedIn, and even, Pinterest). Why? Such short form social media get all the buzz and. compared to blogging, they're much easier.
But, per Clark, that doesn't mean they're the most useful social media tools for lawyers and law firms.
…[F]or organizations and individuals that want to be known for their ideas, the clearest — yet most underrated — path is through blogging. It hasn't been buzzed about in years, but it's more essential than ever, as organizations like the World Bank (which recently invited me to speak to their global staff about blogging) recognize.
Neither Clark nor I believe it's too late in the game to get into blogging or that you'll be drowned out by all the noise out there already.
…[A]s long as your content is rich and thoughtful, you can still build up a massive following and reputation regardless of your channel. In an information-hungry world, there will always be a need for expert content. And there will always be more readers and "retweeters" than there will be creators.
Though there are over 3,000 law blogs being indexed by the ABA Journal, I'll hazard a guess that less than ten or twenty percent engage readers and influencers in an effective fashion.
In addition, there are countless niche subjects not covered. Just this week I talked to a couple groups of lawyers whose blog topics have never been covered before. Our LXBN Network doesn't even have a blog for each of the state supreme courts.
Your thoughts, insight, and commentary as a practicing lawyer are in demand. You're not able to share such insight and demonstrate your expertise with short firm social media.
You need to blog.

WHEN violinist Shelly van Loen went on holidays to the continent she was always drawn to the chocolate shops.
And for many years afterwards she day-dreamed about creating the exquisite chocolates herself.
Eventually her husband said "do it" and she signed up to master classes to learn the trade of the chocolatier. Over a year she was taught the science behind the art of chocolate making as well as how to decorate pieces. Now, in between freelancing as a violin player with orchestras, pop stars, West End shows and performing 1920s and 30s tunes with band Shelley van Loen and the Palm Court Strings, she imports chocolate from Belgium and makes bespoke chocolates at her Kirtlington home.
The 54-year-old, above, said: "Music is creative, but I wanted something creative in a different way, to make things with my hands.
"Seeing the gorgeous chocolate shops in France, I decided that's what I wanted to do."
Mrs van Loen's 30-year music career has seen her play for a string of famous names including Annie Lennox, Suede, rock band James, the Doors, Neil Sedaka, Cliff Richard, Des O'Connor and Brian May.
She also performs regularly with BBC Symphony Orchestra, and has played in West End shows including Sunset Boulevard, King and I, and Oklahoma!
At the weekend, she will be taking part in an Artists and Makers Fair, at The Glass House, Waddesdon, near Aylesbury, between 10.30am and 4.30pm.
Entry costs £3 with proceeds split between three charities, Oxford's Helen & Douglas House, Iain Rennie Grove Hospice and Bucks Young Carers.

Doc Johnson Good Head Numbing Blow Berry Lollipop
Reviewed: 11 May 2013 by arabella030303, a Straight Going Steady Female
At first I was thinking, "That much for a lollipop?"
It tasted good, sweet. It smelt sweet and fruity and got me in the mood, and was very kinky. Me and my partner shared it.
It was okay but only slightly better then your average 10p lolly. Maybe it's not my thing but my partner liked it and he enjoyed the end results! ;)
- Pros
- The taste.
- Cons
- Value for money.
- Bottom line
- Okay.

More of a sweet treat
Reviewed: 10 June 2013 by Sm69, a Straight Going Steady Female
I was a bit disappointed with this as I was expecting it to be this amazing lollypop which was going to numb the back of my throat so I could give amazing blowjobs. I admit I may have had my hopes up a little bit too high.
I started sucking this lollypop as I was on my way to my boyfriend's house, walking through town I felt a little bit naughty knowing that it was a 'blowjob lollypop' and there was only one reason it was in my mouth.
It tasted really nice and it was a decent size too, however it didn't seem to make a difference to the feeling in my mouth, apart from a little bit of my cheek went a bit numb for a few minutes towards the middle of the lollypop but that was as far as it went.
Maybe this would work different for other people? It might just be me but I don't think I will be buying another one of these.
However, my man was very excited about the idea of a lollypop which would make blowjobs even better, so I suppose it's more of the thought that counts.
- Pros
- It tasted very nice.
- Cons
- It didn't numb my mouth as much as I was expecting.
- Bottom line
- I wouldn't buy one again but it was fun trying it.

Good head without the numbing
Reviewed: 27 August 2013 by Wildcherry
When I saw this along with the other lollipops in the Doc Johnson range (I would highly recommend the sour apple), I was really excited and in my basket it went.
So to start, the packaging was great and the lolly itself was very sweet but that is about where it ended for us. Unlike other sprays I've found there was hardly any numbing sensation.
Kinda disappointed but I would still definitely recommend the other two.
- Pros
- The taste.
- Cons
- Lack of numbing.
- Bottom line
- Disappointing for the price.

Emo vampires and their abstinence-friendly ways form the terrifically tempting jugular vein of the teen hit Twilight (2008, 12, Contender £19.56). Adapted from Stephenie Meyer's cult novel, it benefits from sure-footed direction by Catherine Hardwicke who proved her "yoof" credentials with Thirteen and, here, remains credibly down with the kids. Young girls swoon as sensitive Robert Pattinson flutters his pallid eyelids, returning the gothic romance to its melodramatic roots, and reminding us all that real men keep their trousers on. Bravo!
For all its ultra-verité trappings, the Dardenne brothers' latest The Silence of Lorna (2008, 15, New Wave £19.56) owes as much to European fairy tales as to the grim realities of urban Belgian life. Indeed, it is only in the light of The Brothers Grimm et al that the final movement of this strangely moving tale makes sense. Arta Dobroshi excels as the Albanian immigrant embroiled in a cash-for-marriage scam that tests the limits of her love and the depths of her titular silence. Less well received than their Palme d'Or winner L'Enfant, this enigmatic gem sees the Dardennes stretching their artistic wings with beautiful (if sometimes baffling) results.
There's no sense of growth in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008, PG, Paramount £19.56) in which the knockabout digimation gags of the original are reprised as our at-sea anthropomorphs attempt unsuccessfully to get back to New York. Old, cold routines are duly reheated, riffs from The Lion King are ripped-off, and Sacha Baron Cohen (the unexpected star of Madagascar) is given more space to ply his trademark rubber-mouthed schtick. No surprises, then, and not much else either - expect it to top the charts forthwith!
Finally, for anyone seduced by the snazzy surface sheen of Cashback, the derivative horror The Broken (2008, 15, Universal £14.67) proves that ad man Sean Ellis is, indeed, all style and no substance. Trainspotters can play "spot the sources", but anyone with a working knowledge of modern horror will find little to reflect upon.

"Men in Red" to begin defense of its U.S. Open Cup crown on the road July 20
U.S. Soccer has announced that the Chicago Fire will begin the defense of its Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title on Tuesday, July 20 on the road in a fourth round match-up against either the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer or the United Soccer League (USL) A-League's Syracuse Salty Dogs. Syracuse and Columbus will contest their third round U.S. Open Cup match this Wednesday, June 30 at Columbus Crew Stadium in Columbus, O.H., with kick-off set for 6:30 p.m. CT. Should Columbus win in the third round, the Fire will travel to Crew Stadium to take on its Eastern Conference rival on July 20 at 6:30 p.m. If Syracuse can pull off the upset, the Fire will travel to Cortland, N.Y. - located 30 minutes south of Syracuse - to face the Salty Dogs at the SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex at 6:30 p.m. CT. The Fire won its third U.S. Open Cup crown last season and will look to improve upon its impressive 15-3-1 all-time record in the competition.
U.S.-Fire doubleheader fast approaching
After an 11-year absence, less than two weeks remain until the U.S. men's national team makes its return to Chicago, as the Fire and U.S. Soccer will host an international doubleheader on Sunday, July 11 at Soldier Field. The U.S. squad will begin the historic evening of soccer on the banks of Lake Michigan at 6 p.m. CT when it hosts the Polish national team in their second meeting of the year. The Fire will then host the New England Revolution at 8:30 p.m. in the Revs' first visit to Soldier Field since the Fire's exciting 1-0 overtime victory in last November's 2003 MLS Eastern Conference Final. Tickets are selling quickly, meaning fans should call as soon as possible to reserve the best possible seats for one of the best nights of soccer in Chicago history. Advance tickets ranging in price levels from $28 to $80 can be purchased through Ticketmaster outlets or by calling 312-559-1212 or visiting www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the Chicago Fire Offices, located at 980 N. Michigan, Suite 1998 (corner of Oak/Michigan) in Chicago. Group discounts are also available and can be arranged by calling 1-888-MLS-FIRE.
Fire's schedule heats up with hectic July
With summer comes the usual vacation months, but July will be anything but restful for the Fire, who will play seven times during the month in the most hectic stretch of its 2004 schedule. Chicago is slated to play six MLS contests, including four in a row against Eastern Conference opponents to start off the month. After the Fire's match at Columbus this Saturday, the "Men in Red" will reacquaint themselves with the New England Revolution for a home-and-home series on July 11 (home) and July 14 (away) before hosting the MetroStars in another home-and-home series that begins on July 17. In the middle of that series, however, the Fire will take to the road to begin the defense of its Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup crown against either the Columbus Crew or the A-League's Syracuse Salty Dogs on Tuesday, July 20. The Fire will wrap up a stretch of six games in 18 days by visiting the MetroStars on July 24 and then traveling to Denver to face the Colorado Rapids on July 28. While some members of the squad will conclude the month by appearing in the Sierra Mist MLS All-Star Game on July 31 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., others will truly enjoy what will be a welcome All-Star break.
Dipsy called upon again by Botswana for World Cup Qualifying
While the Fire will face the Crew this Saturday in an important battle for positioning in the Eastern Conference standings, Fire forward Dipsy Selolwane will be trying to help his Botswana national team get one step closer to qualifying for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. The 26-year-old senior international has been called back by Botswana to play in its African Zone semifinal round qualifying contest against continental power Morocco this Saturday, July 3 in Gaborone, Botswana at 3:00 p.m. local time (8 a.m. CT). In his 26th career appearance for Botswana on June 12, Selolwane scored the game-winner in a 2-0 victory over Malawi in Gaborone, helping the "Zebras" take a share of the Group 5 lead after two qualifying games alongside Tunisia and Guinea at three points. Selolwane, who is one of his country's most popular athletes, has now scored eight goals in his senior international career.
Accurate Ante becomes League's all-time leader in shots on goal
Despite not being able to break through for a goal Sunday against the Los Angeles Galaxy, Fire forward Ante Razov was able to break a record by taking the all-time League lead in shots on goal. After peppering Galaxy goalkeeper Kevin Hartman with four shots on frame, Razov upped his career total in the category to 319, one better than Kansas City midfielder Preki's previous high mark of 318. Razov has reached his total in only 160 games, while it took Preki 224 contests to amass his prior record.
Fire family doubleheader a big success in club's Southland debut
The Chicago Fire used a pair of goals by forward Ante Razov to defeat the Chicago Fire Reserves of the Premier Development League 2-1 last Wednesday night in an exhibition match at St. Laurence High School in Burbank, Ill. The match marked the official debut of the Fire in the Chicago Southland, which will become the permanent home of the club in 2006 when the Fire opens its new soccer-specific stadium in the Village of Bridgeview. Razov started the scoring with a 19-yard free kick in the game's third minute and scored the game-winner in the 26th minute on a 40-yard bomb that caught Fire Reserves 'keeper Brad Guzan off his line. The PDL's top club cut the lead in half when Cameron Knowles knocked home a goal in the 69th minute, but the senior side would hold the line for the final 20 minutes to preserve the victory.
The Fire-Fire Reserves match was the second in a doubleheader that featured the Chicago Fire Juniors U-23 college development side defeating Monarcas Morelia's U-20 team 2-1 in the evening's opening contest. The Fire Juniors got on the board first when Benjamin Aguilar scored midway through the first half to give the Juniors a 1-0 lead that would hold until the halftime break. After the youth club from the Fire's Mexican League sister club answered with a goal early in the second stanza, the Juniors' Erik Insko scored off a throw-in to give the newly-formed squad a 2-1 advantage that would mark the final outcome.

The Chicago tour stop will be held during the upcoming holiday weekend at Navy Pier from Friday, July 2 through Sunday, July 4.
Cinderella Chicago Fire Reserves look to continue Open Cup run Wednesday at Rochester
The Chicago Fire Reserves will face their stiffest challenge by far during its run in the 91st Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup when it travels to upstate New York this Wednesday, June 30 to face off against the A-League's Rochester Raging Rhinos in a third round contest. The match will take place at Rochester's Frontier Field at 6:30 p.m. CT. The Fire Reserves have made an impressive debut in their first appearance in the nation's oldest soccer tournament, outscoring its two opponents 10-2 in the first two rounds of play. The Fire Reserves feature the tournament's leading scorer in forward Julian Nash, who has registered 10 points on four goals and a pair of assists in the Reserves two wins. The Fire Reserves, one of four remaining teams in the tournament from the United Soccer League's Premier Development League, also remain in the running for U.S. Soccer's $10,000 prize awarded to the club from the United States Amateur Soccer Association (USASA) that advances the farthest in the competition. Should the Fire Reserves advance past Rochester, the squad would take to the road once again to face the New England Revolution in a fourth round match on Tuesday, July 20 at Lusitano Stadium in Ludlow, Mass. at 6:30 p.m. CT.

OTTAWA - Senators defenceman Filip Kuba has a broken right leg and will miss a minimum of five to six weeks, GM Bryan Murray said Sunday morning.
Kuba caught his foot in a rut in the ice Saturday, the first day of training camp. Murray said it looks like the break is clean and that surgery will not be required, but added that Kuba will be re-evaluated Thursday.
"We're real disappointed for Filip, he looked great in the couple of days I came over to watch him skate," Murray said of the veteran top four blue liner, who last April had back surgery that prematurely ended his 2009-10 campaign. "I know that he's really frustrated that that would happen. I guess if it's going to happen, it's better to happen early ... then come back and have a great year. It does open the door for one of the kids to get more ice time, in particular in pre-season, and somebody hopefully will emerge and be a good player for us."
Chris Campoli and Brian Lee would be the likely candidates to have the best shot at more minutes in the wake of the injury.
