Comparison shopping used to mean going to different stores, checking prices, and purchasing from the retailer with the best price. That took a lot of time and didn't make sense for something small, like a pound of hamburger.
Today, you can save hundreds of dollars with little effort. You just need to know how.
Thanks to smartphones and the Internet, you can check competing prices anytime, even in-store. If you find a lower price, you don't always have to go to the other store to get it – some stores allow you to show the lower price offer at the register, and they'll match it.
Major chain retailers, such as Target and Walmart, offer price-matching policies as a way to attract more shoppers. This can be a great way to save both money and time on grocery shopping. Instead of running around town for the best deals, you can go to just one store and get the best price on everything.
At least that's the theory. In real life, taking advantage of price matching isn't always so simple. Each store has different rules about when it will and won't match prices. Often, the lower price you found at some other store doesn't qualify for a match because of some obscure "gotcha" rule.
To save money with price matching, you need to know the store's rules, along with the hidden traps and exceptions they contain. Learning about each store's policies can help you figure out when it's worth asking for a match – and which stores are most likely to give it to you.
Here's everything you need to know about price-matching at seven of the biggest retailers in the U.S.
1. Walmart
No store makes a bigger deal about its price-matching policy than Walmart. Bloomberg describes a 2013 TV commercial in which a Walmart clerk assures a shopper who has found a lower price that the store will "match it right at the register." In fact, the cheery clerk says, "You don't even need your ad!"
But for many Walmart shoppers, it doesn't work that way. Bloomberg quotes several visitors to the store who say their request for a price match was turned down for some obscure reason – or for no clear reason at all.
How the Policy Works
Walmart's price-matching policy says if you find a product in a Walmart store that's cheaper on Walmart.com, the store will match the online price. It also offers to match the prices of 29 other online stores, including Amazon, Sears, and Target.
If you find a lower price at one of these stores, just go to the register and ask the clerk to match it. However, the store won't just give you the lower price with no questions asked. Walmart reserves the right to double-check and make sure the other store has the item for that amount. If it's not in stock, the store won't match the price.
What to Watch Out For
Walmart's policy sounds simple, but it has a long list of rules and exceptions. The policy specifically says you cannot get a price match for the following:
- A Similar Item. The store will only match the price of an item if it's identical in every way to the one you're buying. It has to be the same brand, the same model, the same size – even, for clothing, the same color. Bloomberg reports that there was a big flap when Walmart caught some of its cashiers in the Dallas area matching prices on items that weren't the same, such as seeded oranges in place of seedless ones, and told them to stop. When these stores warned their customers that they could no longer get price matches on not-quite-matching items, hundreds of them called the corporate hotline to complain.
- Two of the Same Item. Walmart says each customer can only get one price match per day on a given item. You can match prices on a box of raisin bran and a bag of dog food in the same order, but not on two boxes of raisin bran. However, shoppers in New Mexico get a break on this rule. They can price match as many boxes as they want, as long as they aren't planning to turn around and resell all that cheap raisin bran at a higher price.
- An Item Walmart Doesn't Have. When a store has a great sale on an item, it sometimes runs out. If this happens, you can usually ask the store to give you a rain check – a ticket allowing you to come back another day and buy the same item for the sale price. However, Walmart will not give you a rain check for another store's sale price. If the item you're trying to match isn't in stock at Walmart on the day you show up, you're just out of luck.
- A Price That's Listed Incorrectly. Suppose a store plans to offer a large-screen TV set on sale for $1,400. However, due to a typo, the website lists the price as $140. You can't take advantage of that misprint to walk into Walmart and buy the set at the $140 price. (However, you should still be able to get it for $1,400.)
- Certain Types of Sellers. Some of the stores on Walmart's list, such as Amazon, have a "marketplace" for third-party sellers. Sometimes, these sellers offer goods for less than the price charged by Amazon itself. However, Walmart will not match the prices from these third-party sellers. So if you find a great deal on a pair of shoes at Amazon, double-check the listing. If it doesn't say "Sold and fulfilled by Amazon," the price isn't matchable. Walmart also won't match prices from auction sites, such as eBay, or any site that requires a membership, such as a warehouse store.
- Certain Types of Items. Walmart won't match prices on secondhand or refurbished items, even from the stores on its list. It also won't match the price on any item that's marked down because it's damaged.
- Certain Types of Sale Prices. There are special offers that Walmart specifically excludes from its price-matching policy. It does not match prices for clearance items, instant or mail-in rebates, or special hour or flash sales – including the One-Hour Guarantee prices from Walmart.com. It also won't match any prices that have special conditions attached, such as "bundle" offers on more than one item, discounts on multiples of the same item, or any price that includes financing. And, in general, it will only match prices if you can tell what the actual price is from the website. If a site promises "50% off" but doesn't list the original price, Walmart won't just take 50% off. The same goes for "buy one, get one" offers and prices that have other fees (such as shipping) built in.
- Any Item in Certain States. You can't use online price matching at all in any Walmart store in Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico. Prices in these areas are higher overall, so stores there won't match the lower prices offered in the rest of the country.
- Anything on Thanksgiving Weekend. If you think you can go to Walmart on Black Friday and get all the best sale prices on the Web in just one store, think again. Walmart refuses to match sale prices for any item – including its sale prices on Walmart.com – between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday.
Bottom Line
With all these rules, it's sometimes hard to figure out whether an item qualifies for a price match. In cases where it's not clear, it's up to the store manager to decide whether to match the price or not. Some store managers try to give customers the benefit of the doubt, while others seem to look for any excuse to refuse to match a price. To some extent, it's the luck of the draw.
However, it never hurts to ask. You can always put the product back on the shelf. Just don't assume you can go to Walmart and get the best price on every item on your list. Be prepared to go somewhere else if price matching doesn't work.
2. Target
Like Walmart, Target will match the prices of 27 online competitors. Its list is very similar to Walmart's, including Amazon, Kohls.com, Sears.com, and, yes, Walmart.com. So you can match Walmart prices in Target, or Target prices in Walmart – it all depends on where you prefer to shop.
However, Target's Price-Match Guarantee does Walmart one better: It doesn't just match prices from other chains' websites – it also matches prices listed in print ads for their local stores. "Local," in this case, means any store within 25 miles of the Target where you're shopping.
How the Policy Works
To get a price match at Target, you must show the ad with the lower price at the checkout. If you found the lower price online, you can display the website on your phone or a printout of the page. However, if the lower price is in a local store's print ad, you need to hand over the original ad – a photocopy or a picture on your phone isn't good enough.
Unlike Walmart, Target will also match prices on items you've already bought within the past two weeks. For example, say you buy a pair of pants at Target for $30 on Wednesday. Then, on Friday, you see an ad showing the same pants on sale for $20 at another store. Just take that ad and your receipt to the checkout and ask for a price adjustment, and Target will refund the extra $10.
This deal gets even sweeter during the holidays. If you buy any item at Target between November 1st and December 24th and then find a lower price elsewhere, Target will adjust the price – even if it's been more than two weeks since your purchase. However, like Walmart, Target makes an exception for Thanksgiving weekend. In fact, it won't match any sale price offered during that whole week – from Thanksgiving Day through the first Saturday in December.
Target also allows you to stack a matched price with a manufacturer coupon. Say you have a coupon for $1 off on two cans of beans, and a local store is selling those beans at two cans for $1. You can match the price and then apply your coupon on top of that, getting both cans for free. However, you cannot stack a matched price with a Target store coupon.
What to Watch Out For
Just like Walmart's, Target's price match policy comes with a lot of fine print. Many of the rules for Target are the same ones found at Walmart.
For example, just like Walmart, Target only gives price matches on items that are identical and in stock at both Target and the competing store. It doesn't match prices in Alaska or Hawaii. And most of the sale prices that Walmart doesn't match – including third-party offers, clearance sales, bundle deals, offers that include financing, store brands, rebates, and any price that's a misprint – are off-limits at Target as well.
However, unlike Walmart, Target allows you to use the same price match on more than one item. The store "reserves the right to limit quantities" for each item – so if you try to buy every single bottle of detergent on the shelf for $1 each, you probably won't get away with it. However, you should have no problem buying two bottles at that price. That's better than you could do at Walmart, which limits you to one price match per item.
Bottom Line
In many ways, Target's price-matching policy is similar to Walmart's. They match prices for most of the same chains, and they have most of the same rules and limits. However, Target's policy is more generous than Walmart's in three significant ways.
First, it matches prices at local stores as well as online stores. Second, it allows you to adjust prices up to two weeks after purchase. And third, it offers price matching for more than one of the same item.
So if you only have time to go to one store, Target is probably a better choice than Walmart. By going there, you can pay the lowest price found at any store in your area – including Walmart – for any item that Target has in stock. And if one of those items goes on sale later in the week, you can always come back in and get your price adjusted.
3. Best Buy
Unlike Target and Walmart, which sell nearly everything, Best Buy specializes in electronics. Because of this, the only stores it will match prices for are other stores that sell electronics. So while Target and Walmart match prices for dozens of online retailers, Best Buy matches prices for only seven: Amazon, B&H, Crutchfield, Dell.com, HP.com, Newegg, and TigerDirect. It also matches online prices from BestBuy.com.
However, like Target, Best Buy also matches prices for local retail stores. That includes all retailers within a 25-mile radius – not just the ones that specialize in electronics. As long as the store is authorized to sell "a new, factory-sealed product with a warranty," it counts as a competitor. So, for instance, if you want to buy a tablet, and a nearby Walmart store is selling it for less than your local Best Buy, Best Buy will match Walmart's price.
How the Policy Works
Unlike Target and Walmart, Best Buy doesn't offer price matching right at the register. To get a price match, you have to go to the customer service desk and quote the lower price you've seen. You can either show a printed ad or name the website where you found the lower price. Best Buy employees will double-check the site to make sure the price is legit.
However, in a couple of ways, Best Buy's policy is better than Walmart's. For example, it specifically includes prices offered at warehouse clubs, as long as they're local. Also, Best Buy's price matching works in every part of the country – including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
What to Watch Out For
Like Target and Walmart, Best Buy only matches prices for new items – not used or refurbished ones. It also won't match prices for any marketplace or third-party seller.
Like other stores, Best Buy requires that the items be identical and in stock at both Best Buy and the competing store. This means that the model numbers must match for items like appliances. However, it's important to note that Best Buy often uses a unique model numbers for many appliances and other high-priced items. So even if two products look the same, they can have different numbers, making them ineligible for a price match.
Most specific types of sales that are off-limits for price matching at Target and Walmart are off-limits at Best Buy too. This includes all bundle deals, freebies, mail-in offers, clearance items, and items with the wrong price shown. It also includes any sale price found during Thanksgiving weekend – from Thursday through Monday.
Also, like Walmart, Best Buy will only allow you to match a price once for each item you buy. For example, if you find a fitness tracker on sale for $30, you can't buy one for everybody on your holiday gift list. You also can't stack that $30 matched price with a $10 coupon to get the total price down to $20. You can use the coupon or the price match, but not both for the same item.
Best Buy also has several specific rules that aren't found at other stores. For instance, it says you can't get a price match prices on a cell phone that comes with a contract from any online seller. Game discounts related to a membership program are also off-limits. Finally, you can't match prices for services, such as delivery, installation, or computer repair.
Bottom Line
The main reason to choose Best Buy over other big-box stores is its wide selection of electronics. Any gadget that's for sale at your local Target or Walmart is likely to be in stock at Best Buy too, so you only have to visit one store to get the best price out of all three.
However, this only works if the model number on the item you're buying is the same at both stores. Since Best Buy uses store-specific numbers for many big-ticket items, you can't always match prices. So if you're buying something big, it's probably best to check prices online ahead of time, instead of counting on Best Buy to match the lowest price when you get there.
4. The Home Depot
The Home Depot has one of the most generous price-matching policies you'll find anywhere. If you find a lower price on anything Home Depot sells, it won't just match the lower price – it will beat it by 10%.
For example, say a cordless drill costs $110 at Home Depot, but you find it on sale for $100 at Sears. If you show that price at the register, Home Depot will knock 10% off the competitor price and sell you the drill for $90.
How the Policy Works
To get a price match at Home Depot, you must display the ad with the lower price when you check out. You can use a printed ad, a photo, or a printout from the Web. The clerk may contact the other store to make sure it has the item in stock at a price shown.
What to Watch Out For
Unlike most other stores, The Home Depot says it will match prices for "any retailer" – not those on a specific list. However, the fine print shows that there are quite a few exceptions to this rule. Home Depot won't match prices for third-party sellers or discount sites because it says these are not "competing retailers." It also won't match prices for auction sites or wholesale clubs.
The Home Depot limits its price match policy in many of the same ways as other stores. For instance, it won't give a price match on any used, reconditioned, or open-box items. Deals that include rebates, financing, freebies, and bundles do not qualify for price matching, and neither do misprint prices.
On top of this, Home Depot has a few extra rules of its own. It doesn't offer price matching on any custom or special-ordered products, such as custom-fitted window blinds. It also won't match other stores' wholesale pricing or volume discounts.
Finally, like other stores, The Home Depot will only match a price if the two products are "identical" – including their model numbers. But like Best Buy, Home Depot has store-specific model numbers for many appliances and some tools. So in many cases, it isn't possible to get a price match for these large items.
Bottom Line
The Home Depot's policy is better than most – as long as the item you're buying qualifies. For custom orders, or for big items like appliances, price matching won't work.
But for everything else, price matching is worthwhile. In the worst-case scenario, you'll find that Home Depot's price is already the lowest, so you know you're getting a good deal. And in the best-case scenario, you'll find a lower price and Home Depot will beat it by 10%, giving you an even better deal.
5. Lowe's
In some ways, the price-matching policy at Lowe's is even better than The Home Depot's. Its basic offer is the same: If you find a better price at another store, Lowe's will beat that price by 10%. However, unlike The Home Depot, Lowe's guarantees its prices for a full 30 days after purchase.
For example, suppose you buy a tool for $110. Then, a week later, you see the same tool advertised at another store for $100. You can take that ad to Lowe's (along with your receipt) and ask for a price adjustment. The store will adjust the price you paid down to $90, giving you $20 back.
How the Policy Works
Getting a price match at Lowe's works pretty much the same as at The Home Depot. All you have to do is go to the register and show your ad.
The ad must be current, and it must be from a "local retail competitor." The policy doesn't define the term "local," so it's up to the manager to decide which stores are covered. Any store that operates strictly online, such as Amazon, is excluded.
What to Watch Out For
Lowe's policy has similar exceptions to The Home Depot's: Clearance, closeout, or liquidation prices are not included; the store will not match prices for any item that's damaged or for any special-order item; it also won't match prices for labor.
Also, unlike The Home Depot, Lowe's says it will only match the price for "reasonable quantities" of a given item. It doesn't specify what "reasonable" means, so once again, it's up to the manager to decide. Getting a price match for two of the same item shouldn't be a problem, but trying to match 20 of the same item could be.
A final problem is that, like The Home Depot, Lowe's uses store-specific model numbers for many large items. Therefore, you probably can't get a price match on a new refrigerator, because its model number at Lowe's won't match the one at the competing store.
Bottom Line
The biggest advantage of Lowe's price-matching policy is the 30-day guarantee. When you shop at Lowe's, you don't have to worry about whether the item you're buying might go on sale if you just waited one more week. You know that if it does, you can just come back and get the lower price – plus an extra 10% off to sweeten the pot.
However, like many others, Lowe's policy doesn't work for many big-ticket items, such as appliances. It's also limited to prices from local retail stores – and there's no clear definition of "local." So if you live out in the country and Lowe's is the only home center nearby, you're likely to be out of luck when it comes to matching prices.
6. Staples
Just like The Home Depot and Lowe's, Staples goes one step beyond matching prices: Its 110% Price Match Guarantee promises that if you find a lower price, Staples will give you that price plus a 10% discount.
Staples will match prices for any business that has both a retail store and an online store under the same brand name. It will also match prices on Amazon, even though it doesn't have any brick-and-mortar stores.
How the Policy Works
Getting a price match at Staples is as easy as 1-2-3. The three steps are:
- Find a lower price.
- Bring in proof of the lower price (such as a print ad or a website).
- Show it to a store associate at the checkout or at the customer service desk.
Staples also offers a 14-day price guarantee on its prices. If you buy a product at Staples, and within two weeks you see it being sold for less at either a Staples store or Staples.com, you can go back to the store and get a refund for the difference. However, this only works for prices at Staples itself. If you find a product you've already bought for less at a different store, you can't get a refund.
What to Watch Out For
Staples has far fewer rules and exclusions for its price matches than most other stores. The only things you cannot get a price match for are:
- Services, such as computer repair or virus removal
- Copy and print products from third-party vendors
- Custom print and promotional products
- Gift cards
- Phone cards
- Apps sold at Staples.com
That means everything else you can find in a Staples store is eligible for price matching. That includes nearly any office-supply product you can buy – from a ball-point pen to a new computer.
Bottom Line
The Staples 110% Price Match Guarantee is quite possibly the best price-matching policy there is. It means that for any office product, you can be sure of getting a price that's as good as Amazon's or better – all without having to pay for shipping or wait for delivery. That's a deal you really can't beat.
Final Word
Price matching can be a great way to get deals. However, it's just one of many tools in your smart-shopping kit. Sometimes it's the best way to get rock-bottom prices – but not always.
For example, suppose you go to Target for groceries. You see that your favorite brand of peanut butter is selling for $5 a jar. That seems high, so you check online and find that Walmart is selling the same brand for only $4 a jar. So you figure that by asking for a price match, you can save $1.
That sounds great, but before you do it, check the other jars on the shelf. Maybe there's another brand that's on sale for only $3 a jar. If you pass that jar up because you assume that price matching will give you the best deal, you'll end up spending $1 more than you need to, instead of $1 less.
So before you snatch at a price match, remember to keep your eye on the bottom line. Look at all the possible ways there are to save, such as buying store brands, stacking coupons, or shopping at cheaper stores that aren't on the price-matching list. Then you can figure out which one gives you the best deal.
Do you use price matching? Any other tips you'd recommend?

Painting Your Nursery...is it Safe?
If you are at all like me, you might be a bit of a perfectionist and a DIY extraordinaire, especially when it comes to creating that perfect nest for your baby. And taking on painting the walls of your nursery to provide the perfect backdrop is probably no exception. But before you dive in, you want to be sure you are taking the right steps and using the right products to make this a safe project for both you and baby.
First, you need to consider the types of paints out there. Babycenter.com gives us this rundown:
Some paint contains ingredients that you should avoid during pregnancy. In general, paint contains a pigment or dye that's suspended in a liquid to which thinners, solvents, and drying agents may have been added. The pigments in paint can include metals such as lead, zinc, and aluminum.
Latex (or acrylic) paint
This is the most common type of paint. It doesn't contain solvents, can be cleaned up with soap and water, and is generally considered safe to use and be around while you're pregnant as long as the area is well ventilated. If the fumes make you feel ill, though, get fresh air and have someone else finish the job.
Oil-based paint
Oil-based paint contains solvents and requires turpentine or mineral spirits for cleanup.
Some studies over the years have shown that exposure to solvents may increase the risk of having a miscarriage, and heavy continued solvent exposure may raise the risk of birth defects and learning problems – so using oil-based paint or being around the fumes during pregnancy is generally not recommended.
You can have someone else paint your house using oil-based paints, as long as you aren't around while they're painting. It's okay if you can still smell the paint fumes after the house has been well ventilated. As long as you're not feeling ill from smelling the fumes, there are no known risks to your baby.
Don't worry if you painted or were exposed to paint fumes before you knew you were pregnant, as the chance that you harmed your baby is very small
The American Pregnancy Association gives the advice to have someone else complete this project, but in the event that you are just too excited, and must be a part of the project, they offer these guidelines to decrease the likelihood of paint exposure:
- Protect your skin by wearing protective clothing that includes long pants, long-sleeved shirts and gloves
- Be certain that the room and house are well ventilated; open the windows and turn on fans
- Limit the time you spend on the project; take breaks and move into the fresh air frequently
- Keep your food and drinks away from the area so solvents and chemicals will not accidentally be consumed
How did you handle painting your nursery? Did you follow these guidelines, or did you simply hire someone else to do it?

Yeah. I've got the baby fever. Had it for years. I have passed it onto David, and now we dream up future baby names when we get inspired. I have seen two newborns in the past week- and this is only making it stronger and inspired me to dream up more names. So, friends, I share my list with you, trusting you not to steal my faves! Ok, you can. I mean, it's a good list, so I totes understand. Is anyone else out there a little crazy, thinking about their future non-existent children every once and a while?
PS: Congratulations to Melissa and Kate. Melissa, Miles is so handsome and sweet, and I promise I won't baby-nap him. Kate, Ryleigh is a doll, love those cheeks and her sweet baby smell. Again, I will not be stealing babies.

MVBRB names Sunrise Inn as 2011 Burger of the Year
By Anthony M. Fuda
. There were some really good burgers in the Mahoning Valley this year, but after all was said and done, the Mahoning Valley Burger Review Board (MVBRB) awarded 2011's Burger of the Year to Sunrise Inn (Warren).
. So, what set them apart from the 14 other burgers we reviewed this year? A little bit of everything. The burger was huge (calling it a half pound is on the light side); the boule bun (nice and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside); and the flavor was prominent all through the beef.
. JT said, "The seasoning is just perfect. The toppings are creative and delicious. But for me, it's the bun. That fresh baked, crispy crust on the outside, soft in the middle, boule bun is what pushes this burger to the top!"
. Greg said, "The burger was big, juicy, cooked to perfection and was well seasoned. The boule bun also made the burger experience that much better. It's the best bun I have had in the time I have been on the board. Also, to reiterate from the previous review, this burger is the biggest 8 oz burger by far. Either they serve 10 oz burgers and say they are 8 oz or all the other 8 oz burgers we tried were only 6 oz."
. Scott also said the bun was "a contributing factor, as well as the huge, flavor-filled burger."
. I have been back to Sunrise for their burgers three times since our review, and all three times the burgers were just as good as the first. I also recommend the sweet potato fries because they are delicious, thick and cooked just right.
. Sunrise Inn is known for the pizza and pasta they serve, and now you can add hamburgers to the top of the list when you visit.
. Sunrise co-owner Kenny Haidaris said, "We are very happy to win the Burger of the Year award." He also mentioned that "burger business has doubled since the review." He explains that one reason their burgers are so good is because they "grind the beef fresh every day in the restaurant." He adds, "When you get a burger from a restaurant that does't grind their own, you just don't know what you're going to get, or how old it is."
. This is the first Burger Award Sunrise has won, but they have won Best Pizza in the Tribune Reader's Choice contest every year since it started.
. Follow this link for video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZkVkkfPBgQ&feature=youtu.be
. We would also like to acknowledge some of our servers so you can ask for them by name when you go to any of these fine eateries: Bergen Giordani (Royal Oaks), Kayla Sefcik (Barry Dyngle's), Loke Kalima (MOJO's), Jennifer Munholand (Blue Wolf), Angela Alberini (Up A Creek), and Vanessa Carpenter (Charlie Staples).
. We would like to thank WYTV, WKBN, and WYFX for again covering our Burger of the Year award banquet.
. We look forward to another year of great burgers. Next year we will be incorporating a new feature with our reviews called Daytrips. These will be NE Ohio and Western PA establishments that a lot of people frequent and relayed to us, because of their great burgers. Keep reading our reviews in the Review Newspaper, and at http://www.burgerguyz. wordpress.com.

The mission of Shalom High School is to allow at-risk students an opportunity to earn high school diplomas and to prepare students to be productive, successful adults, good citizens, and to become responsible mature members of their communities. Shalom;'s competency-based credit earning model and its senior portfolio assessment require students to critically examine their own knowledge and take responsibility for their own learning.
Our vision is that ultimately all students who leave Shalom High School will possess the necessary skills to make positive post-high school career, educational and/or employment choices.
Shalom High School was founded in 1973 with the specific purpose of educating young people returning from correctional institutions. Over the years, the school's mission evolved to educated any student who found academic achievement difficult in traditional high schools. Today, these students are called "at-risk".
Shalom operates as subsidiary of Transcenter for Youth, Inc., a private non-profit, non-sectarian organization. It satisfies all of the State's requirements for private schools. Therefore, Shalom High School has private school status in Wisconsin.
During the 1981-82 school year, Shalom began contracting with the Milwaukee Public Schools and became one of Milwaukee's first partnership schools. During the 2011-2012 academic year the total enrollment capacity was 105 students.
Shalom offers a full-day academic program leading to a high school diploma for students who meet the criteria of the state's children at-risk statute and are not achieving academic success in traditional schools. The school's competency based, accelerated learning model, encourages success through challenging curriculum. Students earn credits through the traditional model and through 300 competencies or skills, developed with input from:
Jon Erickson, Ph.D., Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio
Alverno College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Walden High School, Racine Wisconsin
The Coalition of Essential Schools, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island
Waukesha County Technical Institute External Diploma Program
Employment Competencies, published by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Madison, Wisconsin
Our students must also prepare and present a portfolio or D.O.G. (Defense of Graduation), evaluated by a graduation committee. Students are generally between 15-19 years old in grades 9-12. For admission, students and parents must participate in an enrollment interview with Shalom staff and they must qualify as at-risk students.
Overview of Shalom High School:
Founded: 1973
Grades: 9–12
Enrollment: 110 students
Program: At-Risk Students
Type: MPS Partnership
Hours: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
Focus: Intensive Remediation, Employability Training, Anger Management and Conflict Resolution, Honors Reading Program, AODA Services, Teen Sexuality and Prevention
Success: High Graduation Rates, ACT Participation & Performance
Co-Directors: Denis Pitchford, Joseph O'Shea
As a Partnership school, Shalom High School supports and is committed to implementing the MPS K-12 curriculum and the Common Core State Standards in all academic areas.
Through an extensive, on-going school effectiveness process, Shalom's staff, after considering the relevant research and consulting with experts in the field, developed a unique model to meet the educational needs of at-risk students. There are two parallel ways students can earn the twenty-two (22) credits required for graduation at Shalom. Classes are offered in the traditional high school subject areas of English/Language Arts, History/Social Studies, Science/Health, Math and Life Skills/Humanities.
Students can also earn credit by demonstrating mastery each trimester of the three hundred (300) skills or competencies which must be mastered in order to graduate. These skills or competencies are taught across the curriculum and are grouped in the following six categories: communication, social interaction, critical thinking and analysis, problem solving and decision-making, environmental responsibility and valuing. In addition to mastering standardized competency tests (all students are given a pre and post test using the McGraw Hill CTBS 4th Edition Comprehensive Test of Basic Skill), as well the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment.
All seniors must develop a portfolio of their work and "defend" their readiness to graduate before a panel of staff and Shalom Advisory Committee members and community partners.

Converse have updated their seasonal colours again and added in some gorgeous new shades! These are all available in the high and low top shoe style and the order pages have been updated so you can select any of the new colours and personalise them from there. I personally love the Storm Pink, Washed Denim and Pure Teal colours, but if you're after something more neutral for a wedding pair then Mouse will work perfectly. I will get more photos added across social media when I get to work on any of the new colours so keep an eye out ...Read More

I am completely snowed under with real work at the moment. There are two very important deadlines coming up which means that my time for blogging, or indeed any kind of non-work related writing, is severely limited. I'll be putting up some archived posts from my old blog until I can get back to proper blogging, but for now, have a science song!
This is The Gibson Assembly song, written by the Cambridge iGEM team 2010. If you can't see it, want it in a higher resolution or just want the link to share, find it here.
The technique they are describing is the "Gibson Assembly" which is a fairly quick and painless way of joining two bits of DNA. In more sciency terms, it works by using PCR to make genes with large overlaps (40bp) at the end. You add a Master Mix to the fragments, incubate for one hour, then just transform into whatever cell you're using. For more details of how it works go here, for the recipe of the Master Mix and detailed protocol go here, and for a program to help you design Gibson Primers, go here.
The video was just made for fun, and took less than a week to put together (not counting the time to write the words!). Filming was done mostly over one day, using one camera and a slightly broken tripod, just using spaces in the lab and the gel room. The green-screen sections were done by throwing a green table cloth over some poster display boards. The music was recorded seperately, and I think each instrument was recorded seperately as well, to get the sound balance right. It was all carried out by about nine undergraduates (and one lab rat!) and massively confused most of the supervisors.
It was fun :)

Arrests made in lawn ornament thefts
Following the receipt of numerous complaints regarding stolen lawn ornaments, the Ocean View Police Department and Delaware State Police Troop 4 were recently able to arrest Randy P. Holderbaum and Matthew L. Donoway, both of Frankford, in connection to the crimes.
"They were going around stealing the big concrete lawn ornaments," said OVPD Sgt. Rhys Bradshaw of the charges. "They're easy items to sell, easy items to pawn. A lot of them aren't traceable because they don't have serial numbers. From my experience, if someone is trying to sell you something out of the back of a truck, don't buy it," he advised.
Through interviews, detectives were able to get a description of Holderbaum's vehicle, and located him at his home on Bethany Drive in Frankford. Upon arrival, officers said they observed that the vehicle's trunk was partially open, and they said they could see lawn ornaments sitting in the trunk of the vehicle.
They then made contact with Holderbaum, who allegedly told officers that Donoway had been using his vehicle. He also informed the officers that Donoway had fled out the rear of the residence when law-enforcement arrived.
"Some of the ones they recovered, we still haven't found the victims of yet. So, if anyone's missing anything, let Ocean View, South Bethany or the state police know," said Bradshaw. "We have some items between us and state police. They could describe the items, and we'll be able to tell if we have the items or not."
Through further investigation, police said, officers were able to track additional stolen lawn ornaments to residences in Dagsboro, to whose residents they had allegedly been sold. One individual who had allegedly bought the items reportedly told police that he had purchased them from a subject who identified himself as "Matt."
Police said further interviews with Holderbaum determined that he and Donoway were allegedly involved in several thefts in the Ocean View, South Bethany and Frankford areas.
Holderbaum was charged with two counts of trespassing third degree, one count of theft under 1500, two counts of conspiracy 3rd degree and one count of conspiracy 2nd degree. He was released on $5,000 unsecured bond.
At the time of his arrest, Donoway had active warrants from the Ocean View police and South Bethany police on charges of theft, trespassing and conspiracy. He is being held at Worcester County Detention Center in Maryland.
Bradshaw said the public should be cautious when being approached by a stranger selling items out of their car.
"If you are approached by somebody, try to get a vehicle make, license number and description so we can investigate and try to look into the items," he said. "I've been approached before about tools. I know, me, personally, I don't just give up my tools and sell them out of the back of my truck."
Anyone who believes one or more of their lawn ornaments was stolen should contact the Ocean View Police Department at (302) 539-1111.

They are reducible to the following:
- First, Yahveh is the sole creator of the universe and of this world and of everything therein.
- Second, that he (this god is male) is the Lord and ruler of said creation and that, to this end, he exercises a protean relationship with it in which he interacts with, oversees, and affects it. Mankind in general has dominion over creation, but Yahveh's people, specifically, are a kind of 'fortunate son' that was endowed with the Word (Torah) with which to navigate Yahveh's plan for human history.
- Third, that he has a right to exclusive worship from his people. This third attribute of the Jewish god is crucial to the collective understanding of the gentile nations concerning the Jewish people. So well known did this fastidious refusal to entertain any other gods become that the Jews were able (in time) to command exemption from participation in certain compulsory empire-cultic rituals. It became clear to the Romans that most Jews would sooner die en masse than to succumb to any demands that they either abandon their god or succumb to the rule of another. The Romans—experienced pragmatic statesmen that they were— knew that killing every fanatic in a an unruly hyper-zealous conquered province was no way to run an empire or to raise revenue or tribute, and so the conquerors soon learned to allow the Jews some semblance of religious sovereignty in the interest of imperial efficacy and smooth sailing.
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? [4]
People of the Book
The Temple
- The first commandment. Or, to borrow a phrase from another of Judaism's offshoots, the insistence that "There is no God but god."
- This god has made a covenant with his people.
- This covenant entails adherence to the Torah.
- The temple is central, at least symbolically. (Its destruction threw everything into a tailspin.)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1 - There are quite a few. The Beginnings of Judaism: Boundaries, Varieties, Uncertainties, by Shaye Cohen is a pretty good one.
2 - There were exceptions to this near-universal admiration. Tacitus, for example, was less than friendly toward the Jews and their monotheistic obstinance.
3 - Deuteronomy 6:7
4 - I'd like to note, however, that there is some evidence that, even in the first century, Palestinian Judaism may not have been as monotheistic as the surviving propagandist literature portrays it. The Second God heresy involving Metatron shows that a man transformed into a divine being was not without judaic believers at the time. Somewhat later Judaic magical texts also showed that the average Jew-on-the-street might not have been strictly monotheistic (it seems that many Jews accepted that there was reason that the commandment was "You shall hold no other gods before me!" rather than "You shall hold no other gods!"). Whether this was a grecian influence, a continuation of native Judaism, or some combination of the two is impossible to know. -- For more on this reasoning, I recommend the work of Margaret Barker. (HT to Dr. Barton for pointing me toward this concept.)
However, I do think that this thinking was esoteric and marginal and that strict monotheism was fairly normative by the time in question.
5 - Job 38:4–8 (KJV)
6 - An excellent survey of the idea of covenant in the Hebrew Bible is found in Covenant: The History of a Biblical Idea by Delbert Hillers
7 - Elisha Qimron gave a lecture on this document at the Biblical Archeology Society's conference in 1984 which sparked the academic surge that would eventually allow for the publication of the scrolls in their entirety. Even Lawsuits ensued. People are funny.

Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) is a division of Department of Justice that is currently concerned about the anonymous nature of transactions carried through Bitcoin. Bitcoin on the other hand, is a renowned digital currency system realized by millions of users around the world to transfer funds virtually.
Bitcoin along with other digital products is on the list of CTTSO. The authority has formulated this list for investigating the possible threats posed by online elements to the national security. The reason why Bitcoin is facing this is the vague transaction system; it is reckless and efficient enough to financially support terrorist attacks. Though the transactions on Bitcoin are public, it is hard to identify the parties who made these transactions.
The scrutiny started due to some recent unfavorable cases like that of Silk Road. Last year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified and closed down Silk Road – a digital black market for trading drugs, guns and even professional slayers. The mastermind behind this project was arrested and charged with money and narcotics trafficking. The man admitted the use of Bitcoin for payments.
The instance resulted in the detention of Charlie Shrem, the Chairman of Bitcoin Foundation in January this year. Subsequently, hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of Bitcoin were reported to be stolen by one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges, Mt. Gox (Tokyo). The exchange filed a bankruptcy protection, but the court rejected their application.
Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office has prepared a list of research topics to further understand the state-of-the-art technologies that may pose threats to national security. The list includes significant topics like Motorola, social media, Android and virtual reality.
Though the law enforcement agencies have not yet been able to acquire much evidence against Bitcoin for terrorism financing, it is much clear that the vulnerabilities of Bitcoin are known by potential terrorists.

[slideshow 17708]
A crazy, twisting slide, a hovering drone camera and a garden barge floating in New York's harbor top this week's Tasty Tech gallery. Above: The world's tallest and longest slide tunnel is scheduled to open to the public this June in London. About 584 ft long and 249 ft tall, the ArcelorMittal Orbit has twelve twists and turns, a tight corkscrew section and a long, speedy stretch to the finish. See a behind-the-scenes video
of the construction.
Engineer and inventor James Dyson, whose company is known for its bagless vacuum cleaners, hand-drying products, and annual industrial design contest has a new product ready for the market: The Dyson Hair hair dryer. Lightweight, compact and silent to the human ear, it will go on sale in June with a retail price of about US $436. See a video
that explains the technology inside the appliance.
These floating solar panels from Vienna University of Technology are lightweight and flexible enough to bob on just about any kind of water surface, where they can generate solar power for coastal communities or help power desalination plants.
Each year, forest fires destroy large tracts of land, create air pollution and kill people. This
from designers at Ogilvy & Mather in Madrid, is equipped with a solar-powered Arduino-based smoke detector and a phone that reports potential fires to a local fire station.
This week, DARPA awarded a few contracts to develop a new kind of armored transport vehicle that's lightweight, autonomous, and able to roll over just about any terrain. The GXV-T can be carried by a Chinook helicopter, has a semi-autonomous driver function and 360-degree high-definition video capable of giving crews greater situational awareness. A video
demonstrates how the vehicle could work.
Beijing startup Zero Zero Robotic introduced the beta version of its Hover Camera, a compact, foldable drone able to capture aerial and video photography. A strong carbon fiber frame encloses the propellers, making it possible to hold the drone when it's active. The camera produces 13-megapixel stills and 4K video.
Luxury ship maker, Migaloo, now has a submersible yacht for all you up-and-coming one-percenters. The two-story, 377-foot vessel has a helipad, eight VIP suites, a swimming pool, movie theater and the ability to dive to 787 feet.
A new Kickstart project is working to raise $100,000 to help build a submersible robot to explore the superheated and acrid waters of Yellowstone Lake. Designed to dive to 5,000 feet, the robot will take high-def images and video as well as collect samples of sediments, water and biological material to help reveal secrets of the microbial life there.
This summer, a garden barge called Swale will dock in Brooklyn, Governors Island and the Bronx. Growing onboard are patches of scallions, rosemary, blueberries, wild leek, radicchio, ramps, sea kale and other fresh produce that residents will be invited to harvest. Swale has a
aimed at increasing access to fresh food in New York City.
For city dwellers, a compact electric vehicle to get a person from here to there is really all they need. The Generation 8 SRK from Eugene, Ore.-based
, will have a base price of $12,000 and a top speed of 80mph. Two seats and space for cargo will make it a great little vehicle for running errands.

What's the best way to eat a worm? (if you absolutely had to)
Compiled by Lucy Christie
Boiled in oil
First, I'd remove it's eyes and disgusting intestines, and then I would fry it like a French fry (yuck!) and shake some BBQ and Mamee Noodle Powder on it so it is salty, addictive, and tastes like Shake Shake Fries! But if it was dessert, I would dip it in a huge amount of chocolate sauce (you know, the classic fondue), and sprinkle it with colourful sprinkles, candies and ice cream! Then I could trick my friends into eating this wonderful stringy lump of "marshmallow" in chocolate.
Hillary Lo,11, Sha Tin College
Crisp it up to keep it down
If I were to eat a worm – which would probably mean I was starving in a jungle – I would fry it until it was so crispy that I couldn't identify it as a worm. Otherwise, even if I ate it, my stomach couldn't hold it down. Besides, everything tastes better if it's crispy.
Cotrina Fung, 15, St Mary's Canossian College
Eat 'em in a hurry with curry
Worms are squirmy and wriggly. They just give me creeps. The sight of them is bad enough, let alone eating them! But if I didn't have a choice, I would just cook them with curry. I am pretty sure that the strong aroma of spices and herbs will cover any disgusting taste or smell of the worm.
Rosaline Chan
They gave you what?! Unbelievably bad presents that belong in the bin
They're like circles of life
In the Lion King, Simba chowed down on worms while singing Hakuna Matata, but I have a way better idea. Why not make a wormy macaroon? Dip the worm into any kind of jam, and then squish it between two light, crispy meringues. YUM.
Charlie Fan, 17, Pui Kiu College
Wormy and umami
I would dry and preserve the worm first, and then would put it in a soup or a congee, that way the worm would have a unique and interesting flavour, and you wouldn't get all of the slimy, yucky bits that people hate. A great way to enjoy a meal that is rich in protein and other nutrients!
Abhay Venkitaraman, King George V
Worm tartar, anyone?
Raw and juicy. Nice.
Karan Dadlani, 13, Renaissance College Hong Kong
You want me to do WHAT?! Check out the worst advice our readers have received
Nutrition first
Eat the whole thing raw in one bite, feeling its vulnerable body popping in my mouth. Sounds creepy, but if I'm going to eat a worm, I don't want to lose any of that valuable protein by cooking it!
Clara Chan Hoi-ying, 17, Wa Ying College
The stinking rose
Fry it with garlic! The strong flavour can get rid of that weird worm smell.
Eunice Yip, 15, Pooi To Middle School
Tastes like chicken
Deep fry the whole worm. It might taste like a French fry, so you could cover it in sweet and spicy sauce and serve it with crispy and crunchy Korean fried chicken. Yummy!
Wong Ho-yan, 19, Carmel Secondary School
You got me WHAT as a gift?!
Chew it with your sweet tooth
I would first boil and mash it up so that it didn't feel like a worm. Then I would coat it with sugar so it didn't taste like a worm. Following that with two whole boxes of chocolate and some ice-cream, and you won't mind the taste at all! As you can probably tell, I am crazy for sugar!
Belinda Ng, 16, South Island School

National BBQ Month
According to the National Barbecue Association, May is National Barbecue Month. It's a great idea who's time has come. I urge all of you to get out during the month of May and do you part. COOK! If you need more ideas, you can find them on the NBBA's website.
(Have I posted too many pictures of ribs lately? Let me know.)
I'll be doing my part to honor National Barbecue month, so, I hereby pledge:
- To post daily.
- To post about barbecue and grilling only (with the exception of my post about the Taste of Chinatown which I promised you folks.)
- To cook barbecue and take pictures of it.
Facts on Types of Smoking Processes:
Cold Smoke:
- Smoking occurs at 70°F to 100°F, imparting flavor without firming proteins. Items may be cold smoked, then finished in the oven. 80 degrees is average in a smoke house. There will be slight dehydration but very little actual cooking.
- Smoking occurs at 160°F to 225°F, imparting flavor and cooking the product. Temperature of smokehouse 160°F for all sausage (casings) 185°F for all solid meats.
- Beef (suitable cuts) 130°F to 135°F for rare
Addition of smoke to an item that will be finished by some other cooking method.
- More smoke flavor, the air does not circulate as much.Product must be dry.
- Less smoke flavor because the air is being circulated.Product does not have to be dry because of the air circulation.
- Pan smoking gives a lot of flavor in short period of time. Can be done with no special equipment.
- 103°F Proteins begin to set or denature
- 137.5°F Trichinosis bacteria is killed
- 155°F Federal requirement for cooking pork
- 155°F All meats
- 160°F All proteins are coagulated
- 165°F Federal requirement for cooking all poultry

Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai were inspired by the 1980s Memphis design movement for their Vena Cava Spring 2011 presentation which took place this morning during New York Fashion Week.
We were presented with a lot of bold geometric shapes, colour-blocking, bright colours and prints.
That may all sound quite a bit rigid, but it was a very laid-back collection with many wear-right-now pieces.
Silk slip dresses, kimono tops, pantsuits, blazers, printed camisoles, pants paired with dresses, halter dresses, off-the-shoulder crop tops, shorts, flared skirts and high-waisted pants were presented.
The key accessories were statement necklaces, rope belts, black and orange headbands and wooden platforms.
The models walked at a very leisurely pace, no doubt to prevent any falls in those shoes.
Who I See Wearing This Collection: Shala Monroque, Liv Tyler and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

COCHIN, India — By various accounts there are five or six Jews left here, but Jew Town, as the area around the almost 450-year-old synagogue is known, hums with activity, and the synagogue itself is a light-filled sanctuary.
I visited it after spending part of a Sunday morning at the Temple of Lord Shiva where, to the rhythmic beat of God-invoking drums, as incense burned in the half-light and offerings of betel leaf were made, women and men mingled in devotion. They prayed to Shiva, the destroyer of the universe as a precondition for its recreation, and to Ganesh, the lord of beginnings and the remover of obstacles. They dotted their foreheads with reddened turmeric powder. Candles burned, bodies touched, eyes glowed; religion seemed neither forbidding nor austere: an embrace of life in all its facets.
India is ample. Soon to be the most populous country on earth, it is home to close to a billion Hindus, some 172 million Muslims and tens of millions of Christians. Cochin is dotted with churches and mosques. Nobody cares too much. There's room for multiple truths. It is this that makes the country such a source of hope. Whatever the errors of policy, and whatever the occasional flaring of terrible religious violence as in Gujarat in 2002, the nation's basic alchemy is good — with or without large-denomination bank notes.
In the end, intangible qualities — the empowerment of women (India has a long way to go), the capacity to place the future over the past, and the space afforded for civilized disagreement — are better indicators of the health of a society than economic statistics. They contain an element of mystery. It is difficult to say why Argentina has failed so often, tying itself in the sterile knot of Peronism, given all it has to succeed; or why Vietnam moves beyond millions of dead in its war with the United States to embrace Americans, while areas of the world like the Middle East seem unable to forget a single death or grievance.
Brazil and South Africa have immense problems, but you may count on them to succeed because the fabric of their nationhood is resilient. In a similar way, anyone betting against India over the long term would be foolish. Openness and capaciousness tend to win.
The accommodation of differences depends on an idea of citizenship that transcends religion or ethnicity to create a community based not in the fever of blood or creed but in rights and obligations framed by law.
This is not easy to achieve. Free societies remain the exception. Copts get slaughtered in Egypt on Palm Sunday because they are Christians. The thirst expressed in the Arab Spring for more representative governance and personal agency is frustrated by intolerance. President Bashar al-Assad of Syria gasses children in an attempt to prolong his family's almost half-century rule of terror. Old wounds suppurate, discharging grievances sufficient to poison every attempt at conciliation.
Rudyard Kipling wrote: "All good people agree,/And all good people say,/All nice people, like Us, are We/And everyone else is They." That's as simple a summary of what the framers of liberal democratic orders are up against as any I know.
Inclusiveness lacks the direct appeal to the gut of the tribal. It's good but wan. Nobody prostrates himself or herself for pluralism. Shock and awe get the heart beating more than what Isaiah Berlin called "machinery designed to prevent people from doing each other too much harm." People get bored; they crave authority and a sense of frenzied mission. They want their pharaoh or their czar or their emperor to set a path. Authoritarianism makes a comeback just when everyone had concluded, on the basis of the ravages of the 20th century, that a decent life demands freedom, at least.
Decency does demand that, whatever the games amnesia plays. The wheel turns.
In October 1647, at the height of the English Civil War, Thomas Rainsborough noted that the poorest has as much of a life to live as the "greatest," and that "every man that is to live under a government ought first by his own consent to put himself under that government." These are not new thoughts. The need for freedom is tied to our natures, like the intermittent fever for deliverance through a despot, but it's stronger and more enduring.
At least India, in its immensity, makes you believe that. It is a place of awe. I spend too much time in parts of the world trapped by smallness. History illuminates; it also imprisons.
My favorite Israeli poet is Yehuda Amichai. In his poem "Tourists" a guide points to a Roman arch in Jerusalem. Amichai writes: "I said to myself: redemption will come only if their guide tells them, 'You see that arch from the Roman period? It's not important: but next to it, left and down a bit, there sits a man who's bought fruit and vegetables for his family.' "
Children eat fruit, not old stones.

The Kalleshwara temple is an architectural treasure hidden in the remote surroundings of Bagali village of Davangere district in Karnataka. Built by two of the most prominent rulers of the region – the Rashtrakutas and the Kalyani Chalukyas, the temple architecture reflects a harmonious blend of the Rashtrakutan architecture and the Western Chalukyan style of architecture.
The temple complex once adorned with numerous inscriptions, hero stones and sati stones which is now exhibited in the archeological museum in the village. To learn more about this magnificent temple, click here: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/595116/an-architectural-symphony.html

robert semmler
"Identifying critical foraging thresholds for coral reef fishes"
PhD candidate, Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, UK
(co-advisors: Nick Graham, Nate Sanders)
Oct 2017-Sept 2020
Robert seeks to understand the impacts of climate change on coral reef fish and their ability to obtain resources necessary to survive. As coral cover declines, foraging behaviors once adapted to these habitats may become sub-optimal. This research uses individual-based models of foraging to identify habitat thresholds and investigate effects of potential changes in behavior.

Essie Ballet nudes collection is the newest addition to the Gel couture line adding 6 new shades to existing 42. It is beautiful collection of neutrals that will go with anything while celebrating soft, feminine colors inspired by tutus, tights and ballet. These stunning creme nudes offer gel like shine and up to 14 days wear.
Closing night (previously reviewed HERE ) but had to repeat this stunning beauty! My absolute favorite from this collection and one of the most unique and beautiful colors Essie has ever released.
Satin slipper – flawlessly feminine. perpetually pretty. this graceful silky champagne ivory is always on pointe.
This silky champagne ivory required 3 coats for full coverage but it is so gorgeous it is absolutely worth it. It has micro shimmer in it that really makes it stand out.
Perfect posture – hold your head up high when the curtain opens on this periwinkle powder blue.
Be still my heart! This baby blue is PERFECTION. Fully opaque in one thick coat , goes on like a dream and I mean just look at it! This color blew me away. Besides Closing night Perfect posture is my second favorite from this collection.
Lace me up – slip on this misty rose pink, and dance your way to greatness with eternal chic.
Described as misty rose pink is pinky nude perfection in two coats of creamy goodness. If you are into nude pinks you need this one in your life.
Hold the position – power meets poise. in this fierce coral peach pink, have it all without moving a muscle.
Really bright compared to the rest of the collection but I can see this being very popular shade among lovers of colors like Van D go, Haute as hello… Would make perfect color during summer both for manicure and pedicure against tanned skin.
At the Barre – here's some fancy footwork: get a leg up on the competition in this soft cinnamon nude.
I do not think this color compliments me simply because it blends into my skin tone but It would make really nice nude shade on medium/darker skin tones. Great formula and fully opaque in one thicker coat.
What do you think about this collection? Are you into neutrals? Have you tried Gel couture formula yet?

A Pervert's Guide to Avoiding Loneliness, 2016
Remember your college friend who would pick up a guitar at every party? Well, he got himself an accordion—and a jock strap—and now he's going to sing us a song about how his long list of kinks have complicated his love life…
Birthday Boss, 2016

One way to judge the quality of an institution is by the quality of its faculty. Mildred Elley is proud of the faculty who teach at its campuses. About one-third of the faculty currently teaching at Mildred Elley have earned doctoral degrees. These doctorally qualified faculty include individuals who have been professionally and academically trained earning a PhD, an MD, a JD or other doctoral degrees. Over seventy-seven percent of all current faculty have earned either a doctoral degree or a master's degree in the subject area they are currently teaching in.
The high quality of the faculty as demonstrated by the high level of teaching and academic credentials is another tangible example of the institution's commitment to continuous improvement by focusing on academic improvements, student service improvements, and accreditation and compliance improvements.
