The two title contenders both had to settle for a point away from home, with PSV coming from two goals down to secure a home victory elsewhere
|Ajax drew their second consecutive league match away to Heracles on Saturday, conceding two late goals to lose further footing in the tile race.
An own goal from Ben Rienstra and a Lasse Schone stike handed the reigning champions a comfortable advantage heading into half-time. Mike te Wierik's strike for the hosts in the 61st minute appeared to be futile when Tobias Sana restored Ajax's two-goal advantage just a minute later, but a late capitulation from the visitors saw the hosts salvage a point.
Thomas Bruns cut Ajax's lead to one goal in the 80th minute, and substitute Luis Pedro struck ten minutes later to hand his side a surprise result.
|NAC failed to bounce back from their recent drubbing away to PSV, as a 3-0 home defeat to Vitesse sees the hosts continue to linger in the relegation zone.
The first real chance of note arrived in the 32nd minute and saw Jonathan Reis open the scoring for the ambitious visitors, rifling home from close range to hand his side the lead heading into half-time.
The hosts were pegged further back early in the second half, when Wilfried Bony pounced on a rebound to double his side's lead. The Ivorian wrapped up the victory in the 68th minute, when he capped a virtuoso run through the heart of the NAC defence with a composed finish.
|League leaders Twente were held to a draw by a solid Roda side on Saturday, with two late goals seeing the spoils shared.
A dull first half saw neither side forge any opportunities of note, with an offensive Twente side failing to find a way through the hosts.
It took until the 68th minute for the scoring to be opened, when Luc Castaignos converted a rebound to put the visitors ahead. Roda's response was immediate however, with Guus Hupperts salvaging a point for his side following neat build-up play.
|PSV survived a first-half scare to claim all three points at home to Willem II this weekend.
Jens Podevijn and Niek Vossebelt handed the lowly visitors a two-goal lead within the opening half hour, an advantage their side took into the interval.
It took until the 67th minute for the hosts to muster a response, when Kevin Strootman pulled one back for his side. The Netherlands international leveled matters shortly after with a low strike from outside the area.
A tense ending to the match saw PSV claim a late victory, with Tim Matavz's 82nd minute winner handing his side a precious win.
|AZ's impressive unbeaten home run was brought to an end by NEC on Saturday, with the visitors inflicting a 2-0 defeat on the struggling hosts.
The hosts were without the suspended Adam Maher and Jozy Altidore, and the visitors capitalised on the absence of the pair and several others with two early goals.
Ryan Koolwijk opened the scoring from a free kick just 15 minutes in, beating both the wall and goalkeeper Esteban with a well-struck effort. The Dutchman doubled his side's lead two minutes later, stepping up to the spot after Nick Viergever had conceded an unnecessary penalty.
The hosts were unable to claw back the deficit and were made to settle for a loss which leaves them in 13th place.
|Utrecht recorded an impressive victory away to ADO Den Haag this weekend, a result which sees them rise to 6th in the league standings.
The hosts were handed a spot kick early on, which midfielder Holla coolly converted. The visitors remained calm Alexander Gerndt drew his side level just 6 minutes later however, slotting a calm finish past Robert Zwinkels.
Jacob Mulenga grabbed the decisive goal five minutes before halftime, converting a routine delivery to hand his side the lead. A second half resurgence from the hosts did not result in a goal, and the Domstedelingen hung on to record a valuable victory.
|Feyenoord ended their winless run at the De Koel Stadion on Sunday, coming from two goals down to record a valuable win.
Oguzhan Turk and Guus Jopen appeared to send the hosts on their way to victory with 19th and 21st minute strikes, respectively, but the visitors had other ideas.
A first-half injury-time penalty from Feyenoord's Lex Immers cut his side's deficit in half, and the Rotterdam side continued their resurgence in the second half.
Wesley Verhoek levelled matters just two minutes after play resumed, and turned provider in the 64th minute. The Dutchman teed up Graziano Pelle with a fine delivery, who duly delivered and sealed a win which sees the visitors draw level on points with rivals Ajax.
|Heerenveen emerged victorious from the latest edition of the Dutch Northern Derby, with the hosts running out 3-0 winners over the struggling visitors.
A timid first half saw neither side threaten the opposition goal, but a lively second period saw Heerenveen put three goals past the hapless visitors. Rajiv van la Parra opened the scoring with a cool finish in the 61st minute, and Alfred Finnbogason doubled his side's lead from the spot four minutes later. Van la Parra wrapped up the win with under ten minutes to play, latching on to an impressive delivery from Filip Djuricic.
|Recently promoted Zwolle recorded an impressive win away to RKC on Sunday.
Fred Benson handed the visitors an early lead with his 5th-minute finish. Neither side came close to finding the next goal in the first half, and the hosts were punished for their inefficiency shortly after play resumed. Ronnie Reniers doubled his side's lead with a simple tap-in on the hour mark, sending the hosts in frantic search of a way back into the tie.
Teddy Chevalier handed RKC a lifeline late on, but with just four minutes to play the hosts were unable to salvage anything from the tie.

According to Isla Fisher, it's never too early to start modeling a healthy body image for your children. Married to Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen, Fisher is mom to two young girls: Olive, 5, and Elula, 2.
As reported by People, Fisher is the cover girl for the May issue of Fitness magazine. In her interview, she sounded off on how easy it is for a woman to find fault with herself: "For me, so much about life is acceptance. You can look in the mirror and find a million things wrong with yourself"
The Great Gatsby actress continued, "Or, you can look in the mirror and think, 'I feel good, I have my health, and I'm so blessed.' That's the way I choose to look at it. I don't need to be perfect."
Fisher, who in the past has been open about her post-baby weight loss ("breastfeeding and Spanx"), emphasized that her desire for staying healthy and fit is motivated not by the pressures of Hollywood but by something more important: her daughters.
The yoga devotee revealed, "I don't even own a scale. I have two young daughters and I wouldn't want them to see me weighing myself all the time. I don't think it sends the right message."
The Wedding Crashers star explained that while pregnant with her first child, she gained 65 pounds because her diet consisted mainly of "supersize bowls of white pasta with loads of butter and cheese" to help with her severe morning sickness. Three months after the birth of Olive, however, she was scheduled to begin shooting the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic, which required a quick slim down. She lost the baby weight with the aid of a personal trainer hired by the studio, which she found "both inspirational and terrifying."
Although she has a celebrity perk that most of us do not — a personal trainer at our beck and call — Isla Fisher has a healthy attitude toward fitness, which includes embracing her imperfections. Case in point: Her favorite body part is her stomach! "Even though it will never be flat again," she said, "it's still my favorite because it reminds me of my greatest achievement: my babies!"

I wanted to take a moment to point people back to an early article that Martin Fowler & Pramod Sadalage put together describing the concept of evolutionary database design and some early thoughts on how to make this happen in 2003:
The article has significance for severall reasons. It points to the fact that the concepts of evolutionary database design are not new. They have been discussed and published about for several years now at least. What's most interesting about this though is how many of the great practices that Martin & Pramod suggest have not been put into practice in the vast majority of organizations today.
They discuss the concept of DBAs collaborating closely with developers. I don't know about your organization, but in the organizations that I have seen, this is rarely the case. There is always somewhat of a wall between the development and DBA organizations. They also discuss the idea of everybody getting their own database instance. The concept here is simple. People learn best from trying things out and they need their own instance to truly be enabled to do this. Yet you still find many people sharing database instances. They also discuss the concept of continuous integration. A regular build with every check-in is prevalent for application development, yet how many people have actually taken their advice and applied it to database development?
It's time for that all to change. Why am I so confident that things can suddenly change? Because now with Team Edition for Database Professionals, we finally begin to see tools to support these database development best practices. In our toolset, we bring the application developer and database developer together in the Visual Studio environment. They can collaborate with the features included in Team System to allow work item integration. In addition, the concept of database projects strongly encourages everybody to have their own database instance, or sandbox. In addition, with integration with source control, you can finally setup regular builds and customize it to get to a continuous build environment.
I'm very excited about this toolset and I hope you can see how this is going to help change the game.

I have wanted some riding boots for the past few winters now as every year, come autumn they seem to stay in fashion, they look comfy and versatile. However, every shop i looked in they where just too expensive (well,more than i'm prepared to pay for boots anywyas LOL) I had nearly given up all hope and was beginning to consider forking out the £100 (that i don't have) for a pair of real leather boots in a catalogue, when i cam across these beautys in none other than TESCO!!
I had heard the F&F clothing range was suppose to be good but to me Tesco's is where you buy your chicken kievs not the staples of your wardrobe! However, when is aw these i fell in love they were EXACTLY what i was after and at £20 i figured even if they only lasted this winter i would have my moneys worth.
~Useful Info~
Colours: Brown
Stockists:Tesco, Tesco.com
Price: Around £20 (but i've got a feeling they where a few quid cheaper :O !! )
~The Boots~
As i'm sure you've guessed the boots are not real leather, but thats not too say they are cheap looking or feeling as i think they look really expensive and people have complimented me on them looooads and are genuinley shocked when i say where their from. They are quite a dark brown colour so they go with most things in the winter wardrobe and are flat so there really comfy and easy to walk in. They have a small elasticated panel at the back, which if like me you don't have the slimmest calves, make them really easy to get on and comfy to wear. There is also a zip on the inside at the bottom although both these things are virtually invisible so dont affect the look of the boots,
~What i Thought~
As you can probably tell i LOVE these boots i have had them since September and have worn them loads both outside and to work and so far so good in terms of comfort and durability. Which if i'm honest i was a little worried about because of the price. But they still look great, i can wear them with almost anything, there comfy and i get loads of compliments and would definitley reccomend. 10/10 for me! :)
I am a huge fan of the 'Jelly Belly' jelly bean range and whenever i'm in Selfridges in the Bullring i'm always really tempted bu the pick&mix style selection of all the yummy flavours :) So when i saw these tubs of jelly belly lip balms in my local bodycare i just had to try them out to see if they really did live up to the sweets they're based on, and i was very pleasantly surprised :)
~Useful Info~
STOCKIST: Bodycare and various online stores.
PRICE:99p upwards.
Flavours: Cotton candy, Very Cherry, Bubblegum, Watermelon, Blueberry. (Possibly more but these are all i've seen/own)
*I own Very Cherry, Bubblegum and Watermelon. So there the flavours this reveiw will be based on*
~The Lip Balms~
The lipbalms are in small circular tubs in a variety of bright colours that match the flavour. So very cherry is red, Bubblegum is light pink and watermelon is green etc. The bright colours are actually what drew my eyes to these lip balms on the shelf in the first place and whenever i get them out of my bag to use people ALWAYS comment on them and ask where there from etc.
The Lip balm itself is the same colour as the pots (but dont worry they wont show up green or blue on your lips these ones show up clear and the pink and red have a very slight coloured tinge to them).The lipbalm is applied by using your finger which although it can be a little messy when your on the go, i actually prefer it as you dont need a mirror like the ones in a stick.
~What I Thought~
The first thing you notice when you open the tub is the smell. They smell delicious! And they actually smell just like the flavours they are meant to be!The lip balm goes on really easily and they aren't sticky or greasy like the tubs of vaseline that i often used before. they leave your lips feeling more moisturised and they look glossy but without being too shiny or greasy. Now obviously despite being made by a food brand they are not suppose to be eaten however, being on your lips you do get a bit of a taste and they are delicious! It's actually really tempting no to eat them!!
I would definitley reccomend these lip balms as they are cheap, look great, smell (and taste) delicious and the small pots are great for in your bag and get you noticed. 10/10

When i bought my ipod touch a few months back it was pretty clear from the off that i would need a case to protect the back from scratching and getting damaged so i immediatley went online and had a browse through the MANY ipod cases on offer. And when i saw this pink and black diamante case on Play.com i fell in love and had to have it :)
~Useful Info~
PRICE: Around a fiver (P+P Free)
STOCKIST: Play.com, Amazon. (Ive also seen it on several little stalls in shopping centres etc, so i would shop around for best price)
INCLUDES: 1 ipod/iphone 4 case, x2 screen protectors and 1 screen cloth.
~ The Case~
The case is made of black plastic and fits the slim design of the ipod 4 perfectly. It has spaces for the volume control buttons and camera lense etc and even when its been bashed around in my bag the ipod never seems to fall out which i had thought might be a problem so i'm very impressed with that.
On the back there are black diamante crystals stuck on with a butterfly in the middle made of varying sizes of silver and pink diamantes. Above and below the butterfly there are swirly patterns with flowers in. These are made of very small gold diamantes and some large pearly looking circles in white and light pink
The actual pattern is really cute and girly and in my opinion looks like it would have cost more than £5. The design also looks exactly like it does in the picture which isn't always the case when ordering online, so thats a bonus.
~What I Thought~
As i have mentioned you cant fault the design of this case however the quality leave VERY much to be desired. Within about a week some of the diamantes had fallen off and after a month or so of use the edges of the pattern had started to curl under where it had been stuck on, and huge chunks of the diamantes have fallen off. I can still use the case (as i'm waiting for my other one to be delivered but it's taking a while) but it does look really tatty and cheap now so i purely use it to protect the back. I suppose you cant expect much for a fiver, and you do get what you pay for. But i had hoped for more from this case as i know of people with similar diamante cases that have lasted alot better.
I have wanted to upgrade from old ipod nano pretty much ever since the first ipod touch came out (however many years ago that was), but due to the price i could never quite save enough as i would always cave and end up splashing out on a new bag or pair of shoes and would have to start saving all over again:( Then at the beginning of this year i got my saving head on and finally a few months ago i could actually afford to treat myself to a new toy :) And now i've got it i honestly can't believe i left it so long, i LOVE it and can't live without it!!
~Useful Info~
PRICE: RRP is £193 (but i paid ALOT less, so shop around a little. Supermarkets tend to be the best places)
MEMORY: 8gb (up to 1,750 songs), 32gb and 64gb also available.
BATTERY LIFE: up to 40 hours of audio (2 hours fast charge to 80%)
IN THE BOX: The ipod, apple earphones, USB cable.
~The ipod~
Having only owned an ipod nano before this the most obvious difference is that this ipod is alot bigger yet thinner lol. It is '3.5 inches (diagonal) with a widescreen multi touch display and retina control'. So in other words it is a touch screen with really high resolution making the pictures really clear and high quality, which i must admit i was very impressed with (i can watch films on it clearer than my tv anyways LOL).
The screen of the ipod takes up the whole of the front with only 1 button at the bottom and volume control and an off button on the side and the top. The back of the ipod is the same as other models, silver with the apple logo. I think the silver does look great BUT it does scratch very easily so i would reccomend you buy a case ASAP.
Probably the least exciting feature (weird for an ipod LOL), itunes is already loaded onto the ipod so you can download and play your music straight from itunes . (Or you can do it the old fashioned way and use the USB provided.) I tend to use my laptop as i can't store all my music on the ipod due to the lack of memory. However, having itunes on the laptop is great when downloading podcasts and films that you plan on watching on your ipod, particularly if your laptop isn't to hand. The main different features with regards to music is the shuffle option. Basically, when listening to music in a playlist you simply shake the ipod and the songs will shuffle themselves and play in a random order. While this is a nice idea, i personally think its really irritating as i often do it accidently when putting the ipod in my pocket or particularly when excercising. One of the better things regarding music is the speakers, it is possible to listen to music either via earphones or a loudspeaker (even though it is fairly quiet), it's great for listening to music out loud when you are outside and dont have speakers.
As well as downloading music straight to the ipod you can also download videos or films (either buy or rent). The quality of the videos is really good the picture is clear and you forget that your watching it on such a small screen. You can also film your own short videos on the ipod and upload them straight to Youtube or email them to a friend.You can also download video editing apps and edit on the ipod. I personally dont really use this feature as i'm not really into making videos but also the quality doesn't look that great to me (but i'm no expert on these things)
Safari web browser is already loaded onto the ipod so you can browse the internet as you would on a computer really. Most websites have mobile versions so the sites look exactly the same and are really easy to navigate. HOWEVER, the 1 major negative of the ipod, especially in comparison with the iphone is that it doesn't have 3G internet instead you need to use a wireless connection. SO basically you can only access internet when your at home or somwhere with wireless acces such as starbucks (not good for when your waiting at the bus stop lol)
The Facetime feature is one of the most wasted features on me, as i have only used it once (just to see that it worked) lol. I dont know why but i just dont see the appeal of video calling (the whole point of speaking to someone on the phone or internet is you dont need to get dressed and do your makeup LOL) But for those who want to use it it's pretty impressive and easy to do as the ipod literally guides you throught the set up. Facetime can be used with other ipod 4g, iphone, ipads and macs but you do need wireless connection.
There is a built in camera with 5mpx (im not too sure what that means) but the pictures are of poor quality and there isn't a flash so i personally use my digital camera alot more. However, the fact that you can upload your pictures straight to facebook/twitter is a really handy feature. And downloading the picture editing apps (particularly some of the more jokey ones) is really fun.
The ipod has an iBookshelf ready loaded so you can dowload books straight from the ibook store and read them on your ipod. You do pay for most books, but i was actually surprised at how many of the books are free (or at least VERY low priced). I was also surprised at how easy to read they are as your eyes dont get tired and its also possible to magnify and look up words in the dictionary or thesauraus (with wireless).
~App Store~
Last but not least my favourite thing about the ipod, the app store!! Having owned my ipod for just a few months i reckon i've downloaded well over 50 apps (and downloading more all the time). Apps can be downloaded straight form the App store some for a smal price (most of them free). I have downloaded evrything from games to tube maps to photoshop to ebay and facebook. There really is an app for everything!! And they are so quick and easy to download (and delete when you get bored).
I can fully see how the ipod touch is nothing like owning an iphone or any ther fancy smartphone (mainly for the lack of internet on the go). But i would never be able to afford any of those things so as a cheaper alternative i think this is spot on and would reccomend it to anyone.
I have been a fan of Cecilia Aherne's novels for a few years now, ever since my sister reccomended 'A Place Called Here' to me and i now own and have read pretty much every one!! I first read this book about 2 years ago and LOVED it, and given the awful weather over this bank holiday weekend, i needed a good book to curl up with and thought i would revisit the magical land where all the lost things go. I have literally just finished the book for the 2nd time and can't believe i haven't written a reveiw on it sooner!!
~Useful Info~
TITLE: A Place Called Here (There is also a version of this book called 'There's No Place Like Here' i very nearly ordered this book not realising it was the same as the one i already own but with a different title so watch out for that one.)
PRICE: rrp is £7.99 but you can get it alot cheaper new or used online (or even cheaper in charity shops lol).
STOCKIST: all the normal places WHSmiths, Amazon.co.uk etc.
~The Plot~
'A Place Called Here' follows the story of Sandy Shortt. Sandy has had an obsession with missing things ever since a girl form her childhood (Jenny-May) went missing without a trace when they where 10. Ths obsession for finding missing things (whether it be a pair of old socks or a person) carries on into Sandy's adult life as she opens her own missing persons agency.
The book follows Sandy as she's contacted by Jack Ruttle, whos brother Donal is missing and she vows to meet him and help find his brother. However, when Sandy takes a different turn during a morning jog she finds herself in ther place she's been searching for her whole life. She's 'Here'. The place where all the lost things go.
But now shes 'Here' will Sandy ever find her way back?
~What I Thought~
I absolutley LOVE this book. The story of the magical land of here is such an unusual and intriguing idea that made me want to keep reading and find out exactly where this story was going. I read ALOT of books, or should i say i START alot of books, but many of them are the same old 'chick lit' stories told over and over again. But this book really is something different, it is beautifully written and the way alternate chapters are told from Sandys and Jacks point of veiw means you get the story from different angles, yet unlike other books that use this technique it is not at all confusing and it is actually really easy to read.
I would definitley reccomend this book to everyone as it is a really easy and enjoyable read, the idea of 'Where do the lost things go?' is really unique and i guarantee you wont get that feeling of deja vu when reading, unlike a lot of books out there. The enchanting and magical element to the book makes it a real feel good book that does make you think but also leaves you with a smile on your face. 10/10
~Thank's For Reading My Review~
I have been a long time fan of Barry M nail varnish as they quite literally come in any colour you could imagine, they look great and most importantly they are cheap. So a couple of months ago when i read about the new 'Barry M Nail Effects' i had to try it out. And it did not disapoint :)
~Useful Info~
Price: Around £3.99
Stockists: Boots, Superdrug etc
Colours: Black Magic, White Forest, Blue Print, Pink Fizz & Gold Glitter.
(I own Black magic and Pink Fizz so thats what this reveiw is based on)
~ How To Use~
Step 1: Clip, file and buffer nails and apply a basecoat evenly to avoid staining your nails.
Step 2: Allow basecoat to dry before applying your chosen colour of NORMAL nail varnish. (When using the black version of this i found that a bright basecolour looks the best however when using the pink it didn't look so great and i would reccomend using a darker colour like black. But it's best to experiment and see what you like)
Step 3: Allow the base colour to dry and apply the nail effects over the top using single strokes without overlapping. IMPORTANT: If you overlap the nail effects it wont work so make sure you take your time and use single strokes (it took me a few goes to get it right, so give yourself enough time to practice)
~What I Thought~
After using the nail effects as i described above, within seconds the nail effects did look just like cracked nail varnish exposing the colour underneath. My nails looked really funky and different and definitley made me stand out. As i mentioned above it did take a few practice goes for me to get it right as if you overlap it your nails just go black, but now i've got the nack its really quick and easy to use and i can get a proffessional looking nail art manicure in minutes. I would definitley reccomend the nail effects, particularly to young people who like really bright, different looking nails that will make you stand out.
Now that the summer (if you can call it that) is drawing to an end i suddenly found that i have no decent pyjamas or nightwear. I tend to normally sleep in old tracksuits or leggins, which are comfy but make me look a complete tramp LOL. I had origionally planned to venture into town to have a look at what high street clothes stores such as Primark, New Look,La Senza etc had on offer in terms of affordable yet cute&comfy pyjamas.But when i was in tescos doing my weekly shop i had a little nose in the F&F clothing section and saw these, and as the slogan describes me perfectly i HAD to have them!!
~Useful Info~
Price: £9:50 (currently 20% off, so you can snap them up for around 6 quid. BARGAIN!)
Sizes: 8-10, 12-14, 16-18
Colour: Only available in Pink
Stockist: Designed by Florence & Fred exclusivley for Tesco stores and tesco.com
Material: 100% cotton
Delivery: Pick up from stores the next day for free, 2-5 working days: £3.95, Next day delivery: £5.
~The Pyjamas~
The pyjamas look exactly as they do in the picture which is good if your ordering online. The top is a pale pink t-shirt with the slogan 'I'm not gossiping...I'm networking' written in large black letters on the front and a pink lipstick kiss mark in the middle. The slogan on the front is what attracted me to these pyjamas as i do spend too much of my life sat on facebook and gossiping about something (or someone) or other with my friends, so this really did make me smile. The bottoms are a much brighter pink with a black lipstick pattern all over it, the bottoms are also cropped and come to just passed the knees on me, making them good for both summer and winter. The pink colours and girly lipstick pattern also make them look really cute and girly which is another reason i bough them.
~What I Thought~
I love these pyjamas! being 100% cotton they are really soft and comfy and also look really great. I am normally a size 10-12 but bought these in a size 12-14, they are a little loose but as they are pyjamas i would prefer this than they be too tight and uncomfortable. I would reccomend these pyjamas to any young girls or teenagers as they are really girly and the slogan is more suited to young girly girls.
~Thanks For Reading~
I received this Fearne Cotton make-up giftset for my birthday a few months ago. Not that i am ungrateful for any gifts people give me, but i was a little disapointed as in my experience celebrity make-up ranges are awful and normally end up going mouldy on the shelf or in the bin!However, i decided to give this one a go as i do really love Fearne Cotton and many of the products in this set looked quite cool. And i'm glad to say i was pleasently surprised by many of them :)
~Useful Info~
STOCKISTS: Boots, Boots.com
PRICE: Unfortunatley as this was a present i dont know the price.
PRODUCTS: cosmetic bag, 4 mini lip glosses, 2 eye shimmers, lipstick, Mascara, Eyeliner, 2 eye pencils, Eyeshadow Compact and a cosmetic puff.
~Cosmetic Bag~
The bag is heart shaped with a zip going around one half of the heart, the bottom has a girly yet edgy pattern with flowers and skulls and the inside of the bag is leopard print. The top of the bag is clear plastic which makes it really handy to be able to see all of your makeup inside the bag and saves you from rummaging around. I personally love this bag and keep all of my makeup inside. 5/5
~Lip Glosses~
There are 4 mini lip glosses in a light pink, bright pink, clear gloss and a slightly brown shade. The glosses are in small little pens (perfect for in your bag) and simply twist the end and apply with the brush. The colours look really good and you definitley get a good selection. However, the gloss is very sticky which can be annoying. I use these glosses occasionally but not as much as some other products in the set. 2/5
~Eye Shimmers~
There are 2 eye shimmer pots, one is a sparkly silver colour and the other is bronze. The shimmer needs to be applied with a brush and as i have found with all eye shimmers they can be a bit messy to apply however, one they are on the eyelid i think they look great. the colour is alot more subtle than they look in the pot but i personally prefer this look and they stay put for a long time. 4/5
The lipstick is a very pale nude colour (which i was very happy about as i have been looking for one for ages) and goes on the lips very well and comes up a great colour. The only negative is it does fade quickly unless you put the clear lipgloss on over the top (which i do whenever i wear this lipstick). 3/5
The mascara is probably one of the best products in the set. It is only a small wand and is black in colour but i personally think its great! It separates my lashes and makes them look really dark and long. I wish this was sold separatley!! 5/5
The eyeliner is black and double ended, with the pencil on one end and a small sponge applicator on the other so you can smudge the eyeliner and create Fearnes signature flicked out 'cat eyes' for yourself. Although this is a nice idea i think the applicator is rubbish and never use it. The eyeliner on the other hand works really well and i use it often. 4/5
~Eye pencils~
There are 2 eye pencils: Envious green and Violet vamp. The violet colour personally just isn't for me. The green however is my summer must have in terms of makeup!! It is a really stricking green shade with a slight shimmer to it , and the chunkyness of the pencil means you can use it on the lower part of the eye as an eyliner or over the lids as an eyeshadow. I have worn this LOADS and have nearly run out so i hope they sell it individually!! 5/5
~Eye Shadow Compact~
The compact is black witha gold pattern on the top. Inside there is a mirror on the 1 side and on the other there are 5 eyeshadows in brown/bronze colours and 1 turquoise/green colour. The eyeshadows are great colours, long lasting and blend well together and the compact is perfect for in your bag. 5/5
~Cosmetic Puff~
I have never used a cosmetic puff to apply my powder before as i just couldnt see how they would work and when i saw this leopard print fluffy one i presumed it was more for decoration than practical use. But it turn out its for both. It is really soft, applies powder really well and obviously looks good on the dressing table!! 5/5
All of these products come in a large floral hat box with a leopard print/skull pattern around the top which is really handy for storage (i keep hair accessories in mine). So overall i would definitley recommend this as a gift for anyone under the age of 25 as its really cool and edgy looking and the products really do work.
I LOVE wearing high heels, as i think they can really make an outfit however, i am AWFUL at walking in them! Which is why i love it when it gets to summer time and wedges come into fashion. When i saw these brown strappy wedges i knew they would be a staple piece of my summer wardrobe... and i was right :)
~Useful Info~
Sizes: 4 - 8
Colour: Brown (I haven't seen them in any other colour)
Stockist: New Look
~The Wedges~
As you can see from the picture the wedges are brown in colour, and although they are a little plainer than alot of the brighter/patterned wedges in the shops i think this makes them more versatile as you can wear them with pretty much any outfit during the day or night. The wedges are open toe (so make sure you paint your toenails LOL), and have lots of thin criss-cross straps across the front. There is also a little zip at the back making the wedges easy to put on and take off. The actual shoe part of the wedges is leather (fake i'm presuming) and the wedge part is wooden, which i think makes them look more expensive than some of the straw type ones that have been in the shops this summer.
~What I Thought~
As you can tell by the title of this reveiw i found these wedges VERY comfy to wear, i normally really struggle to walk in heels and often end up taking them off before the end of the night. However, whenever i've worn these i forget that i'm even wearing heels and my feet feel fine the next day. They are so comfy and easy to walk in i have even worn them several time during the day (and i NEVER wear heels in the day lol). The wedges are also really versatile and can be worn with pretty much any outfit whether it's to dress up some trousers/jeans on the night or with shorts or a playsuit in the day, i really have struggled to find an outfit they dont go with!! The only down side to these wedges is that strappy part at the front is quite tight and after i take them off i can sometime be left with strap marks across the front of my feet.
Overall i would give these wedges 9/10, and would definitley reccomend them to anyone :)
I have naturally quite fair lashes and without mascara i look like i dont have any eyelashes at all, which as you can imagine is NOT a good look! So for that reason mascara is one make up essential that i wear literally EVERYDAY, so finding the right one is very important. I have tried some truly rubbish mascaras in my time. which is why when i discover one that gives me thick, long separated lashes i tend to stick to that one mascara. However, recently when i went to my local Boots to get my trusty 'Loreal Telescopic mascara' i was shocked that they had completley sold out!!! My friend that i was with recommended this Max Factor Xperience mascara as she she says she swears by it and the fact that it was on a 3 for 2 offer i thought i might as well give it a go, and i was not disapointed!!
~Useful Info~
Stockists:Boots/Superdrug etc
Price:RRP is £10.99 but can be found cheaper online.
Colours:Black and Black/Brown.
~The Claim~
I personally had never used anything from the Max Factor range until i purchased this mascara along with an eyeshadow (also reveiwed), so i didn't really know what to expect. But part of the reason i dont use their make up is that it is quite expensive and the slogan "make-up of make up artists" always made me think of it as quite an upmarket expensive brand. So its no surprise that the Xperience Volumising Mascara claims to give you a proffessional false lash effect by making lashes look up to 3x longer yet still with a lightweight feel so your lashes are free to flutter. It also advises that you can use one coat for a beautiful sleek look or extra coats for a stronger more dramatic look.
~Does It work?~
The mascara itself comes in a black bottle with a large green X on it, just like all the other products in Max Factors 'Xperience' range. The brush is pretty standard looking but the bristles are fairly large and spaced out compared to some. The mascara is really easy to use and even after one coat my lashes did look alot more separated and long. I have worn this mascara everyday for the past week or so that i've owned it both in the day and on a night out and it is perfect for both, i own the Black shade of this mascara and it only takes a few coats to create really dark dramatic lashes without clumping like alot of other mascaras can do. The only thing about this mascara is that when your applying it does take a few seconds to dry as i did smudge it quite alot the first time i used it but if you bare this in mind and give it a few seconds before you blink its fine. As i mentioned i have worn this mascara ona night out and in the day and in both instances it has amazing staying power as i didn't need to reapply at all and it stioll looked great.
I would definitley recommend this mascara if you want long, separated looking lashes and its deffo good value for money!
x Thanks For Reading x
I LOVE make up, but unfortunatley for me im not that great at applying it!!! It took me a good few years to perfect the 'smoky eye' look (which is my signature look for a night out) and it still takes me AAAGES to do with normal eyeshadow, that is until i discovered this Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow!!!
~Useful Info~
Stockists:Boots, Superdrug etc
Shades:Pink Plume, Blue Tempe, Onyx Smoke, Purple Dust, Silver Storm, Indigo Mist, Citrus Thunder and Bronze Haze.
*I personally only own the Onyx Smoke shade, so thats what this reveiw is based on *
~What Is It?~
As you can see from the picture this eyeshadow is a double ended crayon style eyeshadow which includes two different shades which look good together when blended. The onyx smoke shade has a silver colour one end and black the other, the silver end is quite large and round and is used to cover the eyelid. The black end is slightly more pointed as it should be used in the outer corners of the eyelid and then blended together with the silver to create the perfect sexy, smoky eyes in quite literally seconds.
~Does It Work?~
In a word....YES!!! I seriously didnt expect it 2 work as i thoght it looked a bit gimmicky and couldnt really see how it would blend easily, but it really does! The fact that it is a crayon makes it easier to apply than using a brush to apply powdered eyeshadow as i usually find that powdered eyeshadow spills all down my face and csn be quite messy, but with this you dont have that problem. The fact that the black end is pointier for the corners of the eye also means that its easy to apply neatly. The only things i would say is that you do have to press quite hard and go over your eyelids a few times to get a really dramatic colour, but in some ways this is better because it means you have more control over the colour. So basically if you want a lighter more subtle effect in the day you just apply 1 light coat and if you want dark dramatic eyes for the night you go over it a few more times. The eyeshadow also lasts all night without need for re-application.
I would personally recommend this to anyone who loves the smoky eye effect as this really is the quickest and easiest way to achieve that look. Its also great for anyone who (like me) isn't great at making their own makeup look really proffessional.
I am a naturally pale skinned girl and whilst this doesn't particularly bother me most of the time when it gets to spring/summer and the weather gets a bit sunnier i do love having a healthy golden brown tan so that when we do get the odd brief spell of sunshine i can get my legs out in a dress or shorts without feeling self conscious. I personally dont like the idea of using a sunbed so tend to fake it during the summer months, however the recent surprise spell of good weather caught me a little off gaurd so after my friend recommended it i bought some of this wash off instant tan, and i have fallen in love :)
~Useful Info~
Stockists:Superdrug, Boots and online.
The tan comes in a fairly large tube which looks just like the picture so i wont bore you with too much detail. The tan claims to be transfer resistant and is made to be used on both the face and body to create an instant golden tan that lasts for 24 hours and is then washed off in the shower.
I bought the tan in the light matte shade (partly because i'm quite pale but also because it was the only shade left in the shop), this shade suits me perfectly but it is darker than i would have expected from a shade that calls itself 'light', so if you are after a more natural light tan you do need to be careful.
I found the tan reeeeally easy to apply i simply squeezed a small amount onto my tanning mitt and applied in small circular motions to my arms and legs (just like any other fake tan really). The fact that the tan is instant means its sooo much easier to apply than normal as you can easily see where you've tanned and apply it evenly. It took me about 15 minutes to tan my legs, arms, chest and top of my back (as that was all that was on show at the time) and the tan didnt streak all. The colour was a really even brown colour and didnt look fake at all. I have since used it loooads sometimes in the day when we have nice weather and sometimes just on my legs for a night out (to even out the gradual tan i use on my face and arms) and in all circumstances it is just brilliant, a real miracle worker!!! I would definitley reccomend this to anyone that needs a tan, FAST!
I have been dying my hair a dark chocolate brown for a few years now and although i dye it regularly the colour does seem to fade really fast, which is why my hairdresser recommended using a brunnette shampoo. I have used several different kinds (most of them quite expensive). So when i saw this in superdrug for 69p i actually did a double take at how cheap it was and thought it was worth a try.
The shampoo looks exactly like the given picture, it comes in a dark brown large tube with a picture of a dark haired woman on the front. The packaging of the shampoo looks really good for such a cheap non branded shampoo in fact it reminds me of the toni and guy brunnette shampoo.
i'm not going to go into detail of how to use it as i'm sure you all know how to wash your hair LOL. The tube does claim to revitalise coloured hair using extracts of espresso, cashmere and cocoa. I dont know which if these ingredients it is but when i used this shampoo the smell wasn't exactly pleasant when i smelt it however when i was washing my hair the smell soon went. After washing my hair in this shampoo for a couple of days i did notice that my hair looked more silky and smooth. I wouldnt say that the colour looked anybetter but the quality of my hair after dying definitley did improve.
Overall, i would recomend this shampoo for brunnettes who are on a tight budget as you will struggle to find one cheaper!!! The shampoo does do what it claims and is a good shampoo however its not as good as other more premium brands and the smell is a little off putting. But all-in-all its a good shampoo but you do get what you pay for :)
I personally have never really been a 'candle person' i have been given some as gifts and not to be ungrateful but they usually end up gathering dust on my shelf until my mom steals them and uses them for herself. However, since i moved into my own house with friends under a year ago there always seems to be candles/incense sticks etc i the living room and wafting out of their bedrooms, so i thought i would look for one in my room.
I was browsing through family bargains stocking up on household items when i saw the 'Betty Crocker' range of candles for just 99p per candle which i think is really great value for money as some candles i have seen are ridiculously overpriced considering its just a candle. The fact that it smells like Betty Crocker's food was an added bonus for me!!! The candle i purchased is the 'Cinammon Bun' fragrance but i also saw candles scented like strawberry shortcake, blueberry pie, fresh cut melon and cherry pie. (i personally CAN'T WAIT to try the other fragrances as they all sound gorgeous!!!) I haven't seen the candles sold in any other shop but i've had a little look online and you can buy them from amazon and ebay for around £3, which is still quite good value i think.
~The Candle~
The candle itself is a light brown colour and really quite big for the price it comes in a clear glass dish with a flat bottom and goes a little higher than the actual candle which is good as it makes it impossible to knock over and the flame doesn't even come outside of the dish making it really safe and you don't need to put it inside another dish to catch any dripping wax which makes it really clean. Less than a minute after lighting the candle i could smell the candle and i was shocked that it actually DID smell like cinammon!! I personally love the scent of this candle as it's yummy without being too overpowering. I have had the candle about 4 or 5 weeks and i light it on a regular basis (but not everyday) and i've only just had to throw it away so it lasts a long time.
The only bad thing i can say about this candle is tht the smell does get very overpowering towards the bottom, but it takes so long to get to the bottom and i've had soo many uses out of it i dont see that as a big deal if youve only paid 99p!!!! I would definitley recommend these candles as i personally will be getting more in the other fragrances very soon!!!
I am a typical girly girl who knows absolutley nothing about games consoles, in fact the only one i have ever owned (and still own) is a PS2 and if i'm honest it's been used more as a DVD/CD player than an actual games console LOL. So i would like to apologise in advance if this reveiw isn't the most 'clued up' on the site but i have owned my wii for about 2 months now so figured i probably know enough to let you know how i got on and what i think of it :D
~Useful Info~
COLOURS: usually white but can now be bought in black or red.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX: wii console, 1 wii remote, 1 Nunchuck (Mine came with wii sports game but it depends which package u buy)
PRICE: Around £130 in shops but i paid £80 on ebay and it was unopened/brand new so shop around for a bargain!!
~Setting Up~
I personally had never even played on a wii when i first bought it a few months ago so i really was clueless!! However, i was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up and start playing. The instructions of how to set up, what to plug in where etc was really easy and synching the remote to the console was also really easyt to do and once you do it the first time you play you dont need to again which is good.
~What It Looks Like~
The wii i have is white which i personally I'm not too keen on as it doesn't match my tv/DVD player etc and to be honest really stands out. As i keep it in my bedroom at uni this isn't an issue but when i'm home my mom doesn't like it in the living room for some reason. (I dont really see why but some other housewives out ther may relate and dislike this too LOL) The console itself is relativley small and compact however it does come with alot of wires one of which has a big grey box on which can get in the way a little.
~Playing the Wii~
The first game i played was wii sports which came with the console, if like me you are a 'wii virgin' i would definitley recomend this game to start you off as it is really simple to play both on your own and with others, it's loads of fun and of interest to everyone (i mean who doesn't know how to play tennis LOL) The only thing that struck me was the graphics were pretty basic but to be honest the majority of the games i have played on the wii have been simple so this isn't an issue as i think the interaction of the game is suppose to be the key selling point.
~What Do I Think~
I personally LOVE the wii and have become a little bit addicted to it if i'm honest!! I can fully understand why experienced gamers dont rate it as even i can tell the graphics are poor and the games are basic. But for people like me that suits me just fine as i'm far more interested in having fun jumping around the room trying to bat a ball than to look at amazing graphics on a screen!!! LOL. I would definitley reccomend this console especially if you aren't very experienced at gaming or have young kids etc. I also think this console is better when playing with a group of people as its perfect entertainment to get out at and play with your mates or even family as its really suitable to all ages.

It's always tough to make picks on the day after the trade deadline. You never know how certain teams will respond to all of the moves. Still, I'll give it whirl. Here are the Hradek selections for another Tuesday night on ice.
Buffalo Sabres at New York Rangers
Under new owner Terry Pegula, the Sabres are 2-0-1. Those games were played on home ice. Tonight, they go into MSG to face their in-state rivals. The Rangers have won the previous two meetings, both in Buffalo. I like the Sabres to win tonight.
Florida Panthers at Carolina Hurricanes
Eric Staal is scheduled to return to action tonight. That's good news. This is a must-win for the Canes against a Panthers team that raised the white flag on the season with several moves over the past few days. Carolina wins.

RadioShack Wins With Self-deprecating '80s Super Bowl Spot
If last night's Super Bowl ad was any indication, the once-outdated tech retailer's revival is well underway.
Before CEO Joe Magnacca took the helm of Fort Worth-based RadioShack in February 2013, the outdated tech retailer was toeing the line of irrelevance and in dire need of a refresh. During last night's Super Bowl XLVIII, RadioShack unveiled this ad to some 108 million viewers and hilariously confronted its lackluster reputation through a successful '80s throwback.
As the former Walgreens exec said in the October 2013 issue of D CEO, "We sit in a relevant space, the technology space, but for a time we've had an irrelevant brand. Our job is to revive that brand."
The Super Bowl ad, which was produced by Austin-based GSD&M, has been hailed as one of the night's favorites. Might the world now be ready for a new dawn of RadioShack?

Problems with GH2, external flash and PZ14-42x

It reminds me of when the shutter speed was over 200 on the Canon 5d and gives a black bar due to flash sync speed, something mirrorless should not have a problem with.
Mirrorless uses a focal plane shutter just like a DSLR (and your 5d) and is subject to all the same sync issues you'd experience with a DSLR. So for any shutter speed faster than 1/160 (for example 1/400) you will get a black bar with flash - that is normal for m43 cameras.
If that is the case I stand corrected, but my understanding was the mirror was the problem at faster speeds? The 1dmk3 could do flash at 1/250 but the 5d was 1/200th...again If im wrong I stand corrected. It is happening up to 1/160th...the camera won't allow any speeds faster than that.
The problem with the PZ14-42x is that the black line appears with shutter speeds of 160 and above at f8 and above during normal shooting condition or with flash .
Hmmm... If you are in fact getting the black line without flash that definitely sounds like something is wrong with the camera or lens somehow. At shutter speeds faster than 1/160 (for example 1/400) the shutter is "sweeping" the imager. There might be a problem with the aperture in the lens, it closes down to the set aperture for exposure and it is possible it is over shooting and completely closing (or closing very small to say F/22) for the very first part or last part of the exposure resulting in the band.
I will test that tomorrow...thanks...
I read somewhere that there was a picture problem with shutter speeds of 160 and 200 with the PZ14-42 but want sure what was meant..
If you are getting black bands without flash then I think you do need to call Panasonic.

'Back to School in Special Collections'
April 12, 2013
About 35 people attended the Augustana Historical Society spring program "Back to School in Special Collections" on Wednesday, April 10.
Special Collections librarians Sarah Horowitz and Jamie Nelson talked with attendees about Special Collections involvement in teaching, gave a brief introduction to the types of materials held in Special Collections, and then took the attendees "back to school" by engaging them in several exercises the librarians often do with classes. These exercises accustom students to working with Special Collections materials, which are often in unfamiliar formats such as handwritten letters, diaries, and photographs, and show them how they can track a research question through multiple types of sources.
According to Horowitz, attendees participated "enthusiastically in the teaching exercises," and asked questions afterwards about Special Collections goals for students, the types of classes taught, how Special Collections deals with the challenge of collecting modern (often electronic) materials, and how Special Collections materials are preserved.
Special Collections works with more than 30 classes and reaches over 700 students per year. These classes range from first-year classes to upper-level course in history, English, geography, anthropology and other disciplines.
Special Collections is open to the public as well as the Augustana community Monday-Thursday, 1-5 p.m. More information about Special Collections is available at www.augustana.edu/specialcollections.

Discovery's 30th annual homage to all things shark starts July 23 with a lineup that includes everything from "Phelps vs. Shark," where Olympian Michael Phelps will race against a great white shark, to "Alien Sharks: Stranger Fins," a journey to find the world's strangest sharks, and more.
It's become a pop culture pillar, an event millions of Americans tune in to watch, celebrities tweet their excitement for and sitcom writers joke about, including when Tracy Morgan's character on "30 Rock" advised to "live every week like it's Shark Week."
For all you shark lovers out there wanting to share your enthusiasm for your favorite television event of the year, there's no better way to kick off the week than with a shark-themed party. So before you sit back and sink your teeth into this year's programming, here are a few tips for planning your own Shark Week extravaganza.
Establish the theme from the moment your guests walk in with shark decorations.
Party supply companies such as Oriental Trading have all sorts of shark lanterns, balloons and posters to choose from, and multiple Etsy shops have printable decoration designs for purchase.
Other inexpensive options include creating a garland out of pool noodles, or the blog Frugal Coupon Living has a list of places to find free printable decorations, including shark straw covers, water bottle covers and shark facts.
Or kill two birds with one stone by using your refreshments as decorations. MarthaStewart.com provides a recipe for Fish Bowl Gelatin that can serve as both a centerpiece and a treat.
And, as always, Pinterest is every party planner's best friend. Simply search "Shark Week party" and find more ideas than you could ever use.
Get everyone decked out for the party with shark hats.
The hats can be as simple as a fin cut out of cardstock or construction paper and glued to ribbon or a ring of paper.
Or, for the ambitious party planner, the National Wildlife Federation provides a pattern for a shark hat made of craft foam that looks like a shark head, complete with a gaping mouth to show off the shark's pearly whites. ModCloth even has a tutorial for making a hat that looks like a shark is eating the wearer's head.
But for the extremely ambitious, The Whoot has crochet patterns for all sorts of shark apparel, from hats to slippers to blankets to clothes for your cat. But unless you've already started a crochet binge or are the world's fastest crocheter, maybe you better save this project for next year's Shark Week party.
No shark party is complete without a few shark bites … to eat.
Food site All Recipes has a page devoted to Shark Week recipe ideas, including savory seafood dishes such as Fiery Fish Tacos, crab dip and coconut shrimp.
For dessert, party planning blog Hello My Sweet suggests making life-preserver donuts by covering donuts with white frosting and decorating them with strips of red Fruit Roll-Ups. Another option is to make shark cupcakes topped with a shark fin. There's a tutorial on how to make edible fins on I am a Baker. Or, simply frost cupcakes with blue frosting and place a shark gummy or a paper fin on top.
Take your Shark Week viewing up a notch by playing Shark Week Bingo. Buzzbuzzbingo.com has Shark Week bingo cards that can be customized and downloaded. Depending on how many people you'll have at your party, the website offers packages of 10, 25, 50 and 100 randomly generated cards.
If watching Shark Week programming just isn't enough for you, plan on including other shark-related activities at your party.
Turn on a classic shark movie like Steven Spielberg's "Jaws," or if you'll have little shark lovers at your party too, "Finding Nemo's" Bruce and his Fish-Friendly Sharks support group will do the trick.
Create a variation of pin the tail on the donkey by pinning the fish in the shark's mouth, or, for a more grisly version, pin the scuba diver in the shark's mouth.

Government has promised to give US $90,000 each to the Zambia National team if they successfully defend the Africa Cup of Nations Cup.
Sports minister Chishimba Kabwili said the players will receive US $20,000 each when they reach the finals of the tournament.
And President Michael Sata has visited the Zambian soccer team camp in South Africa and urged them to return the cup home.
President Sata said the team can defend the tile just like they won it last year. He said Zambia cannot fear any team just like they managed to win the cup in 2012.
He said African teams should be running afraid of Zambia and that the players should ensure that they play well.
"Anyway, I have just come here to wish you good luck. You have already done it before and go and do it again. Zambia must be a renowned team to be scared of in the entire Africa," he said.
Team captain Christopher Katongo said the President's visit was a motivation to the players while coach Herve Renard said the team was ready for the tournament.

Erikson Institute began with Maria Piers, a Vienna-trained psychologist who focused on the psychosocial development of children. In the mid-1960s, as Head Start was launched as one salvo in the War on Poverty, Piers recognized a growing need for highly qualified early childhood teachers. She wanted to train teachers to apply modern psychoanalytic knowledge of child development to early care and education.
She found willing collaborators in social worker Lorraine Wallach, then an assistant director at the Virginia Frank Child Development Center, and Barbara Taylor Bowman, head teacher in a therapeutic day care program. They knew that too often, preschool was little more than babysitting, and they were well aware of the costs of failing to support optimal development and learning in the earliest years.
The three approached businessman Irving B. Harris with their idea to start an early childhood training institute in Chicago. Harris, who saw education as the key to preventing poverty, violence, and other social ills, was quick to see the benefits of their plan. He agreed to support the start-up, and Erikson began to make history.
Piers, well known and well connected in psychoanalytic circles, enriched the curriculum with lectures by the likes of Anna Freud, Rene Spitz, Jean Piaget, and Erik Erikson. Erikson's theories about the resilience of children and the centrality of culture and context in a child's development were so essential to the school's approach that it was soon named for him.
The three founding faculty members recruited and inspired hundreds of students dedicated to the service of children. Piers served as dean until 1977; Wallach served in several administrative roles before retiring as professor in the mid-1990s. Bowman served as president of the Institute from 1994 to 2001 and continues to teach today, more than 40 years later.
While devoting their considerable energies to the growth of the Institute, they also spread their knowledge and influence far outside the classroom. They started or collaborated with community programs for families, advised government agencies and commissions, and led early childhood professional organizations. Piers, seeking to educate parents as well as professionals, created television and radio programs specifically to reach them.
The three shared more than a commitment to spreading knowledge of child development. They were also champions for equity and justice in the education and care of young children, especially for minorities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds — values that remain at the heart of the school they started.

Bill Radke: Citigroup used to be a "financial supermarket." You could do your retail banking there, your business banking, investing, get insurance. But the one-stop shop has met the fallout from this financial crisis, and Citigroup has announced it is merging its Smith Barney brokerage into a joint venture with Morgan Stanley. And there's word Citigroup may be doing a lot more shedding in the coming days. Marketplace's Jeremy Hobson has the latest from New York.
Jeremy Hobson: Citigroup is expected to report a huge fourth-quarter loss next week, possibly $10 billion. When it does, Citi could announce plans to shrink down to its core. That may mean selling off its consumer finance services, private label credit cards, and an insurance arm.
Peter Hahn of the Cass Business School says the way this is unfolding shows time is not on Citi's side:
Peter Hahn: For Citi, it's probably not a choice of waiting or can it do it now. It needs to get on and focus on what it does best. And if it's going to shed some businesses now, it's going to try and get the best price it can. But that's what it has to do.
The urgency for action is coming in part from Citi's new chief investor: the United States government. Washington has injected $45 billion into Citigroup since October.
Hahn: I think the government has said the money's going in, what are you doing about it? Don't just keep doing the same thing.
A slimmed-down Citigroup may look like it did when it was called Citicorp, sending one of the world's largest banks right back to where it was in 1998.
In New York, I'm Jeremy Hobson for Marketplace.

Réaction de Steffen Osterloh à la note publiée par le CEPS "A New Budget for the European Union?"
Contribution de Steffen Osterloh au débat en ligne organisé par Notre Europe sur le policy brief "A new budget for the European Union?" de Alfonso Iozzo, Stefano Micossi et Maria Teresa Salvemini
Uniquement en anglais
The paper "A new budget for the European Union?" by Alfonso Iozzo, Stefano Micossi and Marai Teresa Salvemini is a very interesting contribution to the ongoing discussion about the reform of the EU budget. In particular, they leave the conventional track of just normatively discussing "a new budget" by numerating its desirable elements based on economic theory. This has already been studied extensively by economists, with the probably best-known occurrence in the Sapir report (Sapir et al., 2004); the most comprehensive work in this regard has only recently been published in form of a study on EU spending commissioned by the Commission (Ecorys, 2008). From these works can be drawn that a broad consensus seems to exist that a new budget is certainly needed, with less emphasis on redistributive expenditures, and more on functions for which the European level is better suited than the national level. This may be the case due to economies of scale or spill-overs, and often appears in the debate as "European added value". (...)

text: I had this one as a cup to go today and I have to say that I was slightly disapointed. I expected the flavour of cranberry to be in the forefront with a spice lingering in the back yet, I was overwhelmed with the spice and none of the cranberry. The tea was slightly tart and that was the only hint of cranberry that I got. Overall, I think that the tea was ok and I was certainly able to finish the cup yet, I would not be upset if it didnt come back next year.

As the new bowling season for the year began on Tuesday, a newly improved bowls pavilion was unveiled at Victoria Park in Leamington as it looks ahead to host the national bowls championships this summer.
After 40 years of hosting the women's championships, the park will for the first time this year also be the venue for the men's event. As part of preparations for both tournaments, Warwick District Council, which runs the park, has invested in refurbishments to the pavilion, which took place over the winter.
As well as new changing facilities, the building now also has a new roof, with the work having been carried out by construction service provider Balfour Beatty.
Cllr Stephen Cross, responsible for policy on culture, said: "2014 marks the start of a new relationship between Warwick District Council and the sport of bowls.
"As the events hosted at Victoria Park increase in number, the profile of the district will increase and there will be significant economic benefits for local businesses as the number of visitors attending bowls events rises.
"We have a wonderful district with many attractions and we are working closely with local businesses and Bowls England to ensure that the maximum benefits can be achieved during the year.
"All events held in Victoria Park are open to spectators and we encourage local people to come along and watch some world class, highly competitive bowling."
Ian Taylor, regional managing director for Balfour Beatty, said: "It was a pleasure to work with Warwick District Council on this exciting extension and refurbishment project and I wish all those involved in Victoria Park bowls every success for the summer ahead."
The Bowls England National Championships start on the August 2 and run for 30 days. The district council has agreed to provide parking for competitors on Victoria Park for 28 days each summer during the championships, despite a campaign opposing this option by the specially-formed Friends of Victoria Park group. Council officials had argued that it would be the most cost-effective option for the council and its taxpayers.
Entry for spectators to the championships is free. Further details will become available closer to the time of the event.

Track to the Future: What's Next?
What is the future of the railroad industry? NVT's Jacklyn Ryan covers the answer in the final installment of her series "Track to the Future."
Planes and automobiles have given the railroad some competition, but over the years the train industry has not only turned up the heat, today they are bigger and better than they've ever been.
Amtrak is in 46 states, and Union Pacific stretches over 2/3 of the west. It's a big industry and continually growing.
Someday Amtrak would like to have trains in Nebraska collaborate with the bus and aviation industry.
"That's a growing business for us," Amtrak spokesman, Marc Magliari said. "We'd like to do more of that inter-mobile connecting people between the train made and the local bus mode and the aviation mode. "
As for Union Pacific, they hope to continue expansion and transporting goods and services throughout the nation. Both Amtrak and Union Pacific say trains are going to be around for a long time.

Own the Wind
Forever / April 2, 2013 (digital), June 25, 2013 (print) / $6.00 print, $3.79 digital
Tabitha Allen grew up in the thick of Chaos-the Chaos Motorcycle Club, that is. Her father is Chaos' leader, and the club has always had her back. But one rider was different from the start. When Tabby was running wild, Shy Cage was there. When tragedy tore her life apart, he helped her piece it back together. And now, Tabby's thinking about much more than friendship . . .
Tabby is everything Shy's ever wanted, but everything he thinks he can't have. She's beautiful, smart, and as his friend's daughter, untouchable. Shy never expected more than friendship, so when Tabby indicates she wants more-much more-he feels like the luckiest man alive. But even lucky men can crash and burn . . .
Now where did we leave off with Tabby and Shy in Kristen Ashley's Motorcycle Man? Oh yeah, they're at a Chaos Motorcycle Club picnic and Elvira announced to Tack's old lady, "Trouble's a-brewin'." Why? Because Tyra and Elvira both see Tack's daughter Tabby watching Shy flirting with an attractive biker babe looking "like her entire world just came to an end." Not good.
…Tabby was seventeen and Shy, at twenty-two, was out of her league for at least another year but also because Shy was Shy. He was a dawg. He racked 'em up and nailed them down so fast, if it could be recorded as a world record it would.
Fast forward to Own the Wind, the first Chaos Novel by Kristen Ashley.
We meet Shy two years later, in his bedroom in the Chaos Compound under a "small pile of women" until a call from biker brother Hop has him rooting around for his jeans and underwear. Hop tells him he's on Tabby Callout.
Ordinarily, why would a biker in the Chaos Motorcycle Club care one way or another if a nineteen year-old liked to party? But when the party gal is student nurse-by-day Tabby Allen, the same rules don't apply. The brothers had got into the habit of keeping an eye on Tabby's nighttime activities and they not infrequently rescued her from potentially dangerous situations, all the while keeping it from her father Tack. Shy has had enough: "She was studying to be a freaking nurse with her dad footing that bill, so she needed to calm her ass down."
If you are at all familiar with Kristen Ashley's "Oh My Gawd did that really happen" opening scenes with her alpha heroes and their ladies then perhaps you won't be surprised at what Shy does—he picks Tabby up, tells her to "Shut it," gets her in his truck and informs her that her partying buddies are trash. Tabby flashes some pot/kettle sass right back at him pointing out that the life he's decrying, "Booze and bodies, booty calls and bust-ups," is his life too. Shy says: "You want that life...you think that's cool, baby? Then let's roll."
He takes Tabby back to his room in the compound where the two naked women are still lying entangled on his bed and invites her to get naked and go for it, pointing out she's been "wanting to explore it since you were sixteen. The time is right. The stage is set." Tabby, with a hurt look in her stricken face, tells Shy to take her home. Tabby has weapons of her own to unleash though, and when they get back to Tack and Tyra's house in the foothills, she lets Shy have it:
"You don't know me," she whispered. "But now, I know you, and Shy…you're a dick."
Even with these words, she still lifted her hands, placed them on either side of his head and angled closer. Pressing her lips against his, that sweet, pink tongue of hers slid between his lips to touch the tip of his tongue before she let him go just as quickly as she'd grabbed hold.
Tough love indeed and Tabby pretty much disappears from the Denver party scene and Chaos headquarters. It's not until five months later that Shy, fueling up on caffeine at Fortnum's, spots her studying at a table. He asks Tabby if they're good and she assures him they are, but really, not so much. Tabby is never seen around the Chaos compound anymore and when they finally meet up months later—she needs help with a flat tire—and they have it out. Shy tells Tack's daughter, who has grown up around cars and bikes that she shouldn't drive too far on the spare and she loses it, telling him that he's given her a brilliant idea, to design leaflets for the "silly women out there who don't know better."
"…I'll be sure to put a bunch of butterflies on it and douse it with glitter so I can keep their attention while they're reading it."
He felt his eyes narrow as his mouth asked, "What the fuck?"
When she asks him if a blowjob is "acceptable payment for a tire change," things go from bad to worse. It hardly seems necessary to say this, but Tabitha Kane speaks her mind. Yes, Shy's tough love wake-up call did cause her to rethink some of her extra-curricular activities but it hurt her deeply and when he accuses her of avoiding him and says, "This shit can't go on, Tabby. We're family," she lets him have it.
"Family doesn't make judgments. They talk. They support. You made a judgment. You acted on that judgment. You doing it hurt me so that means you are not my family."
The course of true love seldom does run smooth and Tabby and Shy grow ever further apart before tragedy brings them together. When Tabby is at the lowest point of her life, Shy is there for her—she tells him that her life is over and that she'll never "dream a dream again" (music from Les Mis), but Shy hangs in there. He also makes some changes of his own, realizing that multiple partners per evening probably won't result in him ever having an old lady that really cares for him. Baby steps. It takes Tabby seeing Shy hugging a beautiful classy woman back at the Chaos compound for the logjam in their relationship to break up—Shy calls her on her shit, saying,
I'm cuttin'myself loose. You come to me and you don't got your shit sorted, you wanna get your head straight draggin' me along with you, you can go fuck yourself.
But when Shy finds out a month later than Tabby is planning to move to the east coast, he finally admits to himself what he wants, kisses Tabby and breaks up with his girlfriend, pretty much in that order and then the games begin. How was the kiss? Well …
It was more intoxicating than any liquor, a high better than any fucking drug. Phenomenal. Better than he would have guessed. Better than years of wondering how good it could be.
The best he ever had.
With just a fucking kiss.
Ask yourself, is the president of a motorcycle club going to want his daughter becoming a biker's new bang? What about the biker brethren? The strength and the delight of Own the Wind is that Tabby and Shy are not pale imitations of Ty and Tack—they're in their twenties, Tabby doesn't have a signature home-cooked dish and neither does Shy, clothes and frou frou girly things aren't high on Tabby's agenda—they are unique.
Tabby is a nurse getting a hard time from an asshat doctor she works with. Shy has tragedy in his background and loyalty is everything to him: Chaos is his new family and when his family turns their back on him because he stands firm beside Tabby, it cuts him to the quick. Shy and Tabby fight, they make luscious love, and they argue over toilet seats and vacuuming and do it all biker style.
Kristen Ashley honors the integrity of the biker life—none of those guys or their old ladies embraced Chaos because it was safe, staid or boring. The men are all about protecting their own and that means their property and their women. Which definitely leads to some moral quandaries for Tabby, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

Phone: (714)672-6800Fax: (714)672-6808
This course, built in the local foothills, features many elevation changes throughout its design. The fairways are fairly narrow from the amount of natural vegetation growing along the sides. Many holes require either uphill or downhill tee shots. For example, the signature hole #8, a 205-yard, par 3, requires a tee shot over a canyon that must carry 180 yards to a green protected by a large sand bunker on its right. Another spectacular hole is #7, a 403-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot from off a cliff approximately 100 yards above the fairway, and then an approach shot over a creek to the green. In addition, creeks cross fairways on several other holes. The greens are large, undulating, and fairly fast. This course is managed by American Golf. The green fees indicated are good for tee times reserved seven days in advance. Tee times can be reserved up to forty-five days in advance with an additional charge. There are discounted fees before 8 AM and after 3 PM. Weekend green fees are also in effect Fridays and holidays.

Hi everyone. A year ago Metroid Other M was working fine with Wiiso running IOS-249. I picked it up again this week and it started freezing on the cutscene after the training mission.
I didn't install anything new on my wii except add more games to my HDD. I tried running it with IOS-222, and 249 on Wii-flow and CFGloader. I don't know what happened. It ran perfectly last time.
I installed d2x in slot 248 using IOS236. I also used IOS236 to install IOS222 which didn't work. What bugs me is that it worked before...but not now...
I tried running it with both of these to no avail.
Okay, I got the game to work by downloading a safe file with 100% completion. When you complete the game 100% you get to skip the intro cutscene with minus (-). I just downloaded the data.bin from gamefaqs and installed it using a software I got from the homebrew browser.
Just softmoded my Wii last June using the latest softmod guide by Mauifrog. I haven't done any adjustments with the usb loaders yet and I am also getting the same freezing error after the training when the cut scenes were played.
since I'm using the latest update, from my understanding all I have to do is adjust the .IOS of my loader to either 222 or 223 right? hoping this would correct the error. sorry nood here :(
Mauifrog's guide was updated then end of this month. You might want to install the cIOS pack and the get the new app pack from it.
If you use the latest Wiiflow, it will pick the correct cIOS to load the game for you.
If you use one of the other loaders, you can pick what cIOS you want to load for that game. In the game settings. You shouldn't change the default cIOS(249) for the loader.
If none of that works. I would try to re rip to the hdd from the original disc.
I tried using the gx 3.0 and changed the game ios to either 222 or 223 and forced NTSC which none worked ( it freezed on the same scene after the training where samus ship flew somewhere )
this will be the first time i'm going to update my wii, should I just overwrite wiiflow or uninstall it first? is it ok to uninstall? with the IOS update should i do it in the multi mod manager? is there a guide that i can follow when updating my wii?
