I took a trip to the spa yesterday for a quick manicure and discovered that they were carrying the collection. I was super psyched and decided to go with 'Short Shorts', a super neon and vibrant hot-pink hue. I LOVE this color. It is sooo electric and looks amazing on my skintone. I will for sure be testing out the other colors that Essie is featuring in the Summer Neons clan. Love it!

| | Toyota under spotlight for possible Tacoma sudden acceleration | | 2008-06-11 06:26:00 | | Audi went through it in the '80s. Jeep went through it a couple years ago. Other makers have been accused of it, and now it's Toyota's turn: the NHTSA is considering investigating Tacoma pickup trucks from 2004-2008 due to claims of unintended acceleration. In one instance, a man said he turned off his cruise control to exit the freeway, and the truck surged on him, forcing him to dodge a few vehicles -- even as he had his foot on the brake pedal.Toyota says there is nothing wrong with the Tacoma's drive-by-wire system. The trucks that have been inspected have not shown the error codes Toyota would expect if the throttle and accelerator pedal were out of whack. The company wrote to the NHTSA and said, "Toyota believes that it is likely that many of the consumer complaints about the general issue of unwanted acceleration ... as well as many of the complaints about this subject that have been received by Toyota, were inspired by publicity."We can't comment on the claims of unintended ac... | | By: Car News | | |

| | | Rowling back in the plagiarism spotlight | | 2008-04-15 02:23:16 | | Rowling tells court she's stopped working | Reuters An emotional J.K. Rowling said on Monday she had stopped working on a new novel because her creativity was stifled by a fan's bid to print an unofficial encyclopedic companion to her Harry Potter series. The 42-year-old British author and Warner Bros. are suing independent U.S. publisher RDR Books, which plans to publish "The Harry Potter Lexicon," a 400-page reference book written by Steve Vander Ark and based on his popular fan Web site (www.hp-lexicon.org).Rowling has decided that possible plagiarism is too much for her. She can't possibly go on while other people use her work, or just capitalize on her success. Normally this would only bother me a little bit. I do believe in protecting copywrited works. However, there is something to be said for the flow of ideas. Rowling should know a little something about that:JK Rowling Plagiarism, Neil Gaiman, Worst Witch, RK Larry Potter & Tanya Grotter "Comic book fans have note... | | By: Markism Explored | | |

| | Spotlight on Phillip Merling for the 2008 NFL Draft | | 2008-01-31 12:31:27 | | It seems like myself and Mel Kiper are about the only Draftniks that have Clemson defensive end Phillip Merling ranked as a first round NFL Draft Prospect. As of 31 January 2008 Kiper has him ranked 11th on his big board and I have him rated as a first round NFL Draft prospect on my Draft Value Board. Since he is a recently declared junior maybe the scouts haven’t had a chance to go back and look at his game film yet.Regardless of the reason, I predict by the end of the NFL Scouting Combine Merling will be widely regarded as a first round talent. Merling was forecast as a second-round pick by the NFL underclassmen advisory committee. But he (Merling) believes he could move into the first round with a good showing at the NFL Scouting Combine. I agree, Merling has all the tangibles you look for in an NFL prospect, nice size at 6.4 ½ and 276 pounds and very nice athletic ability. Reportedly, he decided to turn pro partly because he has a child, and also because his mother is strugglin... | | By: The NFL Draft Site | | |
| | Ad Wars: Spotlight On Michigan, South Carolina | | 2008-01-14 15:47:16 | | Hillary ClintonThe latest ad from the Clinton campaign, "Listen," includes footage from her New Hampshire victory speech. Clinton suggests that she listened to the voters and "found my own voice." The ad also seeks to remind voters of the seriousness of the race--hinting again that Barack Obama isn't ready to be president. The ad is running in South Carolina and Nevada.John Edwards"Mill," the newest Edwards ad airing in South Carolina, returns to his familiar 2004 "son of a mill worker" theme.Rudy GiulianiThe new Giuliani ad, "First Day," suggests he will push for the "largest tax cut in American history" if elected.Mike HuckabeeAn anti-Huckabee group, Victim's Voice, is airing this ad, which previously ran in Iowa, in South Carolina this week. In the ad, Lois Davidson tells the story of her daughter, killed by an Arkansas parolee. The ad concludes by suggesting that if not for Mike Huckabee, Davidson's daughter would be alive today. I never saw the ad during its Iowa run and I'm curious how large the ad buy really is in South Carolina.John McCainThe latest McCain ad, "Michigan Endorsed," trumpets two Michigan newspaper endorsements.The campaign also has a new radio ad, in which McCain tells the story of fellow POW, Mike Christian.Barack ObamaThe Obama campaign has released a new ad, "Moment," in Nevada.

| | Spotlight Often Glaring for Troubled Female Celebrities | | 2007-12-24 23:16:00 | | By Ruth ReaderWashington2007 was a troubling year for several female celebrities. And the year also was marked by slow music sales, an unpredictable box office and a Hollywood writers' strike. VOA's Ruth Reader reviews the year's top entertainment news.Four celebrities repeatedly found themselves in the spotlight in 2007, and the glare was often harsh. In the case of former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith, it was tragic. She died in February from an accidental prescription drug overdose. The reality TV star died less than a year after the death of her 20-year-old son in a drug related incident and the birth of her daughter.Soon after Smith's death, pop star Britney Spears faced her own issues -- caught often by cameras in unflattering situations, smacked down by unwanted publicity. She checked into rehab, got into trouble with police and became entangled in a custody battled over her two sons. In spite of her personal problems, Spears still put out a comeback album, "Blackout".H... | | By: female celebrities gallery | | |

| | Princess Lalla Salma - back in the international spotlight | | 2007-10-27 21:37:00 | | After a rather quiet year in public, Princess Lalla Salma strode back back into the spotlight this week to join King Mohammed at a state dinner in the luxurious surroundings of Marrakech's Royal Palace. As one observer said "The Princess looked an absolute a vision in a fuchsia kaftan." Hello magazine said the dress " perfectly complemented her red tresses." The much-loved royal helped her husband receive French President Nicolas Sarkozy during his three-day official visit to the country.It has been a relatively low-key year for the 29-year-old, much of which she has spent with her children after the birth of her second child, Princess Lalla Kadija, in February. Her return to public duties was marked by a meeting with her good friend Queen Rania of Jordan this summer. The stylish duo, both highly educated and successful professionals before marrying their royal spouses, visited two Unicef-supported projects in Fez highlighting the country’s efforts in combating child labour, a caus... | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |
| | Spotlight on Andre' Woodson | | 2007-10-21 08:30:13 | | By Guest Blogger: Daryl BreaultBrian Brohm will soon know exactly how Brady Quinn, Matt Leinart and Aaron Rodgers have all felt come draft night. All three of those elite college quarterbacks watched another young passer emerge during their senior years and snatch high draft selections, not to mention millions of dollars, away from them. At least Leinart still went in the Top-10; Quinn and Rodgers plummeted all the way down the late first round.Andre Woodson will be the one who steals the glory away from Brohm, the talented Louisville QB who has been the consensus #1 pick for a year and a half now. Brohm may even see Boston College’s Matt Ryan get selected before him now that Louisville’s season has come apart. Woodson is not a finished product, but his ceiling is incredible. If Woodson reaches his full potential in the pros, he will be a franchise QB for many years, of this I’m certain. Woodson emerged in 2006, his junior campaign, by leading the Wildcats to a 7-5 record and a berth in the Music City Bowl against Clemson. Woodson was phenomenal in leading the Wildcats to 28-20 win as he threw for 299 yards and 3 TD. It was the Wildcats best season since the Tim Couch-lead teams of 1996-’99. The emerging talent finished the campaign with 31/7 TD/INT ratio and 3515 yards. The young Wildcats struggled against some of the nations elite teams, namely a 59-28 loss to Louisville to start the season and a 49-0 slaughter at the hands of LSU. Georgia gave him troubles with their superior front-4, but the Wildcats still won 24-20. In 2007, Woodson and the Wildcats have emerged as one the best teams in the country. They upset Louisville in a comeback, 40-34 victory that went down to the wire and was the beginning of the end for Louisville. Woodson led the Wildcats to a 5-0 start by throwing for 16 TD over that span and not tossing his first INT of the season until 3:30 into the 3rd quarter of the fifth game against Florida Atlantic. That INT snapped an NCAA-record str... | | By: The NFL Draft Site | | |

| | On the Spotlight: Velvet Revolver | | 2007-10-01 22:54:34 | | Biography - Here it beginsLa creación de Velvet Revolver, la reunión de cinco músicos que proceden de grupos fundamentales no resultó sencillo. Slash, Duff McKagan y Matt Sorum se unieron para tocar en un concierto benéfico en memoria de su amigo Randy Castillo, batería de Ozzy Osborne y Motley Crue, fallecido en 2002. "Había algo poderoso e intenso entre nosotros", dice Slash. "La química nunca desapareció", añade McKagan. Y los tres ex Guns N’ Roses, con la incorporación de Dave Kushner (ex Wasted Youth) como segundo guitarrista, decidieron buscar un nuevo cantante."No podíamos poner a cualquiera a cantar en el homenaje a Randy. Tardamos mucho tiempo en encontrar a Scott Weiland pero no fue tiempo perdido; estábamos creando los fundamentos de Velvet Revolver", dice Matt Sorum. "Éramos músicos expertos y el cantante también debía estar curtido", continúa el batería. "Para liderar esta banda necesitábamos alguien que estuviera por encima. Y conseguimos uno". Weiland no estaba en una situación óptima con su grupo Stone Temple Pilots y era un admirador de Guns N’ Roses: "Su disco Appetite for destruction era mi biblia y me enseñó todo", dice el cantante.Cuando Slash le hizo escuchar algunas canciones, Scott Weiland se sintió impresionado: "Había al menos 15 que podían ser mías. Pensé que podíamos ser una banda con cinco cabezas". Empezaron a trabajar juntos y desde los primeros ensayos con Weiland, la banda respiraba y vivía. Grabaron la canción Set me free para la película The Hulk. Actuaron en El Rey, una sala de Los Ángeles, y la cosa funcionó. "Este concierto fue mucho más útil que cualquier ensayo en estudio", dice Slash. "Éramos un grupo de músicos que empezábamos a saber tocar juntos, todo lo opuesto a algo previsible".Seguir con Velvet Revolver no ha sido fácil porque Weiland ha pasado por difíciles problemas personales. "Ha sido un año duro para mí", dice el cantante. "El divorcio me hizo tocar fondo emocionalme... | | By: Audio Encore | | |
| | On the Spotlight - DragonForce: | | 2007-10-01 20:45:29 | | The Force:Prepare yourself for a gripping, exhilarating ride on January 9th, 2006. On that date, DragonForce release their hotly awaited third album, ‘Inhuman Rampage’. The title is an apt summation of a devastating musical journey, an unstoppable force that the six-man group’s forthcoming tour of duty will leave devastated cities in its wake. Combing the primal force of power metal with hard-earned musical proficiency, old-school thrash and generous quantities of muscular melody in a unique style that they call ‘extreme power metal’, DragonForce have established themselves as THE heavy metal band of the past year.The summer of 2005 saw them sharing festival stages with Iron Maiden, a sell-out headlining tour of the UK generating scenes of pandemonium. Intensive bouts of touring to accompany the band’s two albums to date – ‘Valley Of The Damned’ in January 2003 and the following year’s ‘Sonic Firestorm’ – has seen their fan-base escalate in quite dramatic terms. Meanwhile, the European metal press have swamped the band with almost universal reams of adulation. “DragonForce are getting bigger. Prepare for the onslaught,” Kerrang! warned. "DragonForce are as metal as f**k,” roared the UK’s Metal Hammer, “They’ll be enormous.” Writers and magazines from France, Greece, Finland, Sweden, Holland, Japan and many more wasted little time in falling under the band’s spell. Perhaps the best summation of all these accolades was Rock Hard (Germany)’s prediction that: “DragonForce could become the first British metal band in ages to reap respect from all over the world.”Against all the odds, DragonForce have single-handedly revitalised power metal in their homeland of the UK, awarding credibility to a genre that till their arrival was regarded was little more than a joke.Clearly, plenty rides on ‘Inhuman Rampage’. However, instead of resorting to panic and watering down the style of music that secured such a position of promine... | | By: Audio Encore | | |
| | On the Spotlight - Static X | | 2007-10-01 20:44:59 | | The Only:It seems like just yesterday that Static-X were the venerable newcomers on the heavy metal block, the release of Wisconsin Death Trip in 1999 serving as a coming-out party for the Los Angeles quartet’s molten hybrid. Equal parts heavy metal, industrial thunder, and hook-laden, songwriting savvy, they scraped the senses with the untempered energy of digital screams and mosh pit mayhem. The debut went platinum, and it’s follow-up, Machine, has been certified gold as the band toured side-by-side with the biggest names in music, from Reinventing The Steel alongside Pantera and Slayer, to Family Values with Linkin Park, Staind and Stone Temple Pilots, and amongst Black Sabbath, Godsmack, P.O.D. and Queens Of The Stone Age on OZZfest 2000.Now, with the release of Shadow Zone, frontman Wayne Static, guitarist Tripp Eisen, bassist Tony Campos and drummer Nick Oshiro stand armed and dangerous, equipped with an album that bleeds with the conviction we’ve come to expect, and slams with the crushing fury of a monster truck run amok. While it may sound cliché to call the release their strongest effort to date, anything less wouldn’t do the band justice, as the songs have evolved from brute slabs of sonic fury, to fine-tuned acts of musical misanthropy. “I can’t compare this to the other two albums at all, because it was an entirely different experience this time,” says Static of the new release. “Tripp was in there this time, and it was the first time I ever had a songwriting partner. It was a very refreshing experience, because he wrote some of the songs, and all I had to deal with was putting the vocals to them. I try to look at music as a challenge, and in a way I think this record sounds a lot more well-rounded.”Granted, it was Eisen’s first time in the studio with Static-X—he joined the band immediately following the recording of Machine—but it’s Static who was most responsible for Shadow Zone’s jagged depths. “The funny thing is, mos... | | By: Audio Encore | | |

| | Spotlight on George Selvie, Future NFL Draft Prospect | | 2007-09-13 09:59:37 | | NFL DraftThe 2007 College Football Season is already two games old and do you know who the current sack master is? It is South Florida's Sophomore Defensive End George Selvie. South Florida is a team on the rise, after beating Auburn in week two they just missed being ranked in the top 25. They received the 26th-highest number of points (220) in this week's Associated Press Poll.George Selvie has been instrumental in the Bulls success, after week two he leads the nation in sacks (5.5) and tackles for loss (9.5). Selvie stands 6' 4" and weighs 255 pounds of solid muscle, he is cat quick, strong and plays with a reckless abandon. Only a sophomore, but due to his breathtaking success last year as a freshman, he is already a team leader. Watch Selvie on the field (#95), he is almost unblock-able.Last year (2006) Selvie put the football world on notice when he had a breakout game against the 7th ranked West Virginia Mountaineers. South Florida pulled off the spectacular upset and Selvie recorded eight tackles, including 3.5 for a loss, forced a fumble and scored a touchdown on a 9-yard fumble recovery. For that performance, Selvie was named National Defensive and the Big East Player of the Week.Selvie was originally signed by South Florida to play center, but his size and quickness quickly facilitated the switch to the defensive side of the ball. I think he has found his niche, after winning the teams' Overachiever Award for outstanding work in the team's strength and conditioning program, Selvie was inserted into the starting lineup at right defensive end. He finished the season with 84 tackles, 15 tackles for a loss and 5.5 sacks. Selvie went on to be named a Football Writers Association of America/Scripps Freshman All-American, the first in the South Florida Bulls history. Selvie will probably be converted to outside linebacker in the NFL, but he is a prospect that is definitely rising up the future draft boards.

| | On the Spotlight: AudioSlave | | 2007-09-07 05:53:18 | | A Rage LegacyFirst CDThe new-old Nirvana music is hitting stores, Pearl Jam have a new album, and the early-Nineties revival seems to be close to achieving critical mass. Enter Audioslave, a supergroup fusion of Rage Against the Machine with Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. On first listen to this blend of rap, rock and roil, the alt-rock gene seems to have won the day. One key track is "Exploder," where stinging, whiplash riffs betray a link between Soundgarden and Rage that nobody noticed: They both thought Led Zeppelin were a funk band. If angst-shattering catharsis is what you're after, "Light My Way," which ricochets and recoils like a ball-peen-hammer party in your parents' bedroom, will do the trick. There's even something for the ladies: "I Am the Highway" is a genuine pretty power ballad -- this isn't the return of alt-rock, it's the last revenge of testicle-grabbing, limo-ridin', Gibson-guitar-hero hair metal. It's a pretty tune, but also pretty hard to take seriously after ... | | By: Audio Encore | | |
| | Spotlight on Appalachian State | | 2007-09-06 12:22:18 | | First of all, Michigan did not lose to Appalachian State. The Mountaineers beat Michigan, let's get that straight. Was it a huge upset? Sure it was. It was the first time a non Division 1 team has ever beaten one of the Top 20 ranked NCAA Football Teams. People that claim that it was the biggest upset in sports history just don't understand how good the Appalachian State football program has become. It seemed to all start in 2005, playing against a highly ranked LSU squad in Baton Rouge, the Mountaineers gave them quite a game and played them tough. They (Mountaineers) only trailed 14-0 at halftime, eventually losing 24-0, but they actually outrushed the LSU Tigers 176 yards to 163, and showed everyone that they can play with the big boys. Since that game they have won two consecutive Division 1AA championships and are heavily favored to win a third this year (2007). Playing at home in Ann Arbor Michigan the Wolverines were clearly not prepared for a fast, spread offense and it's clear that the Wolverines defense was built to stop a power running game, which is typical Big Ten style. The Wolverines don't have much speed in the defensive secondary. But this article is about Appalachian State, not Michigan.Coach Jerry Moore deserves a lot of credit for building this franchise into a perennial powerhouse. Since his arrival to Boone North Carolina in 1989 the Mountaineers have a record of 154 wins with only 68 losses. Coach Moore has the credentials; he was a former coach of Texas Tech and North Texas and was developed under the tutelage of two hall of fame coaches, Nebraska's Tom Osborne and Iowa's Hayden Frye.Appalachian State is clearly the class of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) or better known as 1AA. By the way, I wish they wouldn't have changed it to FCS, Division 1AA was so much simpler to understand. The Mountaineers have some serious talent, a few of their player could start for almost any division one team and some even have legitimate po... | | By: The NFL Draft Site | | |

For example, schoolteachers were forbidden to communicate in Darija with their students.“This is the language of the people in the street, that [is] the language of Morocco and our target is the youth,” said Yunis Lacak, a DJ and a producer at Hit Radio in the Moroccan capital, Rabat. “This is the language they speak. This is why we use it so that [we] can get the message straight to them.”Some also se... | | By: THE VIEW FROM FEZ | | |
| | FWW Spotlight #4: Three Sites For Fighting Porn | | 2007-07-01 22:36:38 | | Never has pornography been so accessible until the Web came along. And never has it had such a stranglehold on individuals. Like a drug, studies have shown that the more you give in to its allure, the more you seek it out, causing a vicious circle that’s hard to break.
But as easy as it is to find porn on the Web, it’s not that difficult to find help to break the addiction to it. No matter if you’re young or old, boy or girl, man or woman, you can fight against this scourge.
These sites are meant to help with that fight, which is why I’m making them my FWW Spotlight #4.
Teens Against Pornography
We usually hear about adults suffering from the addiction to porn or struggling with their sexual purity. But this site’s about teens and their addiction and struggles. I congratulate them for stopping this sort of behavior before it takes root and alters the lives quite possibly forever.

| | FWW Spotlight #2 | | 2007-06-05 07:53:38 | | This edition of FWW Spotlight focuses on summer reading for kids. Sure, they’ll want to surf the Web to play games, or IM with their friends. But there’s no substitute for reading a good book to make sure their brain’s are in working order by summer’s end.
One place I highly recommend is CommonSense Media. You may remember them from my first spotlight, but this time I couldn’t resist digging a little deeper to highlight their book reviews. You can sort on age appropriateness, overall rating, and other criteria. Their list of books has a rating system so you can quickly identify what’s good and what’s not so good about a book. It even provides reader comments to read or for you to submit your own.
And of course, there’s Amazon with their collection of books for kids. And don’t forget, the last chapter of Harry Potter is coming out in July, so you’ll want to pre-order that one.

| | Reduce Preview's PDF zoom after Spotlight | | 2007-05-23 19:12:09 | | If you have ever used Spotlight to search for a phrase within a PDF document, you may have encountered the annoyingly high level zoom in Preview.When you click on the PDF in the Spotlight results, it opens up in Preview with the search term highlighted throughout the document. This is pretty useful, however the PDF is actually zoomed in 280 percent. This means you can read the word you searched for pretty easily, but you can't see anything else.Luckily, by changing one line in the Preview preferences, you can change the zoom level to something less extreme. The easiest way to do this is using the Terminal.First, quit Preview if it is running and open up Terminal from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. Type the following line and press return:defaults write com.apple.Preview Preview -dict-add PVPDFSpotlightSelectionSize 10The 10 at the end corresponds to a 100% zoom level.

| | The 2008 Lexus IS-F, Spotlight of the New York Auto Show | | 2007-05-19 18:05:42 | | Lexus has developed a new breed of sport sedan with their performance orientated 2008 Lexus IS-F. This version of the IS is powered by a 5.0 liter V8 that puts out 407HP and 350 ft.-lbs. of torque. Lexus is aiming at BMW’s M3 and Audi’s RS4 when they modified the current IS to this beast. The IS-F tears up the pavement with a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds, not bad for a rear wheel drive Japanese sedan.
Another innovative feature of the IS-F is its transmission, which is the world’s first eight-speed “direct sport-shift” transmission. The transmission can also be controlled in a manual mode via Formula one style paddle shifters on the steering column. Stopping power is created by some heavy-duty Brembo brakes with 14.2-inch discs and six-piston calipers. Helping keep the car in turns are 19 inch forged alloy wheels that match the cars wide body styling.
With that being said, the IS-F is definitely a thoroughbred performer with a luxurious feel. Lexus has been ... | | By: AutomoBlog.net | | |

| | Affiliate Spotlight - Order Free Travel Brochures | | 2007-05-02 07:00:18 | |
InfoHub Specialty Travel Guide is a distributor of thousands of free travel brochures. In early 2007, after only a few minutes searching their directory of travel packages, I realized I needed to become an affiliate simply to ensure I kept such a great resource close at hand (really!).
My primary interest was finding a tour company for a trek in Nepal. A few clicks took me to countless packages by a variety of tour guides. It was a bit overwhelming to have so many options, however the layout of the directory is easy to follow. After you drill down into locations or categories of travel, information is presented in rows, including the name of the tour, highlights, duration, price, season, and destination. From the summary results, you can dig deeper into the details and itineraries of trips, as well as order free brochures.
As an affiliate, I earn $2 for each brochure mailed out, which in sales terms is treated as a “lead,” however recipients are under absolut... | | By: GoBackpacking | | |
| | Spotlight on RB Nate Ilaoa, Hawaii | | 2007-01-16 03:01:00 | | I wasn't really surprised when I saw Nate Ilaoa on the 2007 NFL Combine list. Every time I watched the Hawaii Rainbow's play the last few years I was amazed by this players talent. Very short and stocky at 5 foot 9 inches and around 250 pounds, he looks like Barry Sanders on steroids. But oh what a prospect, he has fought all kinds of adversity in his career, he has had injury problems and weight problems, seeing his weight fluctuate between 245 and 255 pounds.I really like his NFL potential because of his versatility, he is a former receiver and it shows. Quite often you would see Ilaoa going in motion and splitting out wide from his running back position. Over his career he caught 151 passes for 1,694 yards and 9 TDs. He is a weapon on screens and draws and as a regular running back he is no slouch either, he played in 40 games, had 222 carries for 1,719 yards and 20 TDs.I think he will provide an NFL team some nice value in the later rounds of the 2007 NFL Draft. He should earn a ... | | By: The NFL Draft Site | | |
