I can't believe what I did to myself today, in the wake of a post I reblogged from Girl in Progress a few days a go called "Self Harm".
As I was getting up from my desk to do something, I caught my left big toe on the bedspread which hung down to the floor and nearly ripped my toe off. I didn't feel that much pain and I cursed myself a little and when I looked down, it appeared that my big toe was hangly loosely from torn skin and blood was dripping everywhere.
Fortunately, I was able to hobble to the kitchen and wrap my toe with paper towel and slip on a pair of men's moccasins before bleeding all over the place. I gingerly stepped into a pair of jeans, slipped on a bra and a blouse, grabbed my purse and keys and jumped into the car to drive myself to the emergency room at the local hospital without leaving a blood trail to startle my roomate when he got home from work.
After finding a place to park, I hobbled again towards the ER entrance and asked a couple of men talking outside if they could help me and they were able to get a wheelchair to take me to the front desk inside, located behind bullet-proof glass. I then spent the next 4 hours or so sitting in a number of waiting areas, waiting to be admitted, waiting for X-rays to be taken and waiting to be examined and stitched up by a doctor and leaving huge pools of blood dripping on the floor each time.
In the x-ray room the tech had to contort my now weak left leg into a myriad of poses to get picture of the toe and after that it was another half hour and another pool of blood later that I got to a bed to have the doctor make the first physical examination.
I couldn't believe the drama I created right in front of me at a hospital that only a year ago had given a new lease on life with my hip replacements now turning into a shadow of its former self, all to put profit before responsible patient care.
Now the point of this post is not about decrying the horror of how local medical care could have gone downhill so quickly and dramatically in only nine months but it has brought up the issue of self-sabotage that I had hoped I was done with since I began to live my life as I truly wanted it to be.
The end result of my ordeal, after being stitched up at the ER, three hours after I had arrived and sent still bleeding to a foot doctor's office nearby to be properly stitched up was to learn that I would need to be off my feet as much as possible for the next 6 weeks or so to give time for my foot to heal and that the nail on my big toe would probably not grow right again.
Here I was yesterday, and the two days prior, driving and walking about town looking for work as a bartender, filling out applications and putting out resumes. Here I am now having to stay off my feet as much as I can and walk around in a boot for the next six weeks which is certainly going to put a crimp in not only in looking for work, but in accepting a job where I am going to have to be nimble on my feet for hours at a time. Talk about inconvenient and talk about DRAMA.
There has to be a silver lining to this cloud and right now I am going to have to let it present itself to me because I know that things will turn out, they always do. In the meantime, I don't really know how I can proceed to find a job so that I don't have to default on all the credit cards and loans for medical care not covered by my insurance and be able to pay rent and eat.
My savings from liquidating an insurance policy with cash value in it is such that I probably will have nothing but my social security left inside of maybe those six weeks it will take me to fully recover from this unusual turn of events and the worse that could happen is that I may have to declare bankruptcy. Of course, the banks got their bailouts so why not the little gal, right? Yeah, RIGHT!
I must sound like a real drama queen by now but that was not the intent I had in putting this all down on a computer screen while it was still fresh in my mind and in my heart. Life has thrown me quite a few lemons today and I am wondering how to make lemonade without sugar or water. I certainly don't need advice from those of you reading this because I know that somehow, in its own time, I will find water and I will find sugar and I will make lemonade.
All I ask is that you hold me in your thoughts and prayers as I know that some of you may already be doing. And while you are at it, send this along to friends to add their thoughts and prayers as well.
After all, if I am going to be the author, casting director and star of my own little drama, I might as well be the producer and director as well.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
You have no items in your shopping cart.
In 1952, Joseph Herzog, a Holocaust survivor, arrived in Canada from his native Czechoslovakia, with his wife and three children. He began to dabble in the jewellery business. As his business grew, he looked for jewellery packaging that reflected the quality of the products he was selling to his customers. He soon realized that there were no companies that could adequately supply him with type of packaging he was seeking.
He began to explore the potential of the packaging business, only to realize that he had found his niche in the market. He dropped jewellery and began to focus on developing packaging under the Impenco brand.
He was a pioneer in venturing to China amidst difficult circumstances over 30 years ago, overcoming travel and language barriers. He was an industry leader by developing a supply chain through China and factories in remote regions throughout the orient.
Impenco had grown to be recognized as an international supplier of custom products and a contract manufacturer for mass-market customers. Therefore Prestige Pak Inc.was created to handle the demand from local and national retail jewellers. Prestige Pak acquired Fancy Pak - Anesco in late 2010.
Joseph Herzog`s son Jack was groomed to take over the family business. Today Jack`s sons Aaron and John are at the helm of a growing company that was recently rebranded under the banner of Prestige & Fancy – Fine Packaging.

31 July
Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, 'Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.' He answered, 'The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!
They are looking for explanations. They want to get their minds around this parable, so that they can put it 'out there' from them: that's what explanations do.
Still, it must be all right to look for explanations so long as we don't put too much store by them, or imagine that the one we give is the only possible one.
It is about seeds. Seeds are the beginning of things, not the end. Good and evil will be separated out only at the end of time. That means, in practical terms, never. In the ultimate, yes, in eternity; but not in time at no time. We have heard politicians talk about "stamping out evil." I heard someone comment, "Jesus didn't do it, the Buddha didn't do it, but this politician is going to do it!" Only in the final sifting will it be done, and we don't know anything about that. Let's not be too surprised at evil deeds: we are part of the picture ourselves. Besides, many things that we call good today we will call evil tomorrow. We don't have the full picture. Only God has. To claim to have the full picture is to claim to be God.
This thought doesn't make evil any less evil, or less painful to its victims. But if we don't spend all our time wondering why there is so much evil in the world, we may have a little left over for wondering why there is so much good.

I just got back from an excellent Remote Deposit Capture Summit organized by RDC.com. It is fast shaping up to be the place to gain knowledge and network with key players in the check processing industry. Not so long ago, there were several events a year devoted to, or with a major emphasis on check processing. Most have fallen by the wayside- perhaps driven by the assumption that check processing is mature and uninteresting. That this was from true was attested to by many at the Summit who presented business and consumer adoption figures showing a vast, yet untapped market.
Whether adoption has been glacial or spectacular depends on perspective. Celent's Bob Meara had done a study a while back showing that check imaging has had a faster uptake than most other technology introductions in the banking space. Yet, the impatience to drive distributed capture into every office, shop and home is understandable. There was continued debate at the Summit between risk perception and the need to drive customer convenience. It is my take that while the risk folks ruled the roost in the early years, the convenience advocates are beginning to scale the ramparts.
Yes, mobile RDC is cool and growing, check scanners are growing smaller and more accurate, but what caught my eye at the Summit is a possible shift in industry tectonics. Remember the early days of distributed capture? The focus was on branch back counter and teller capture back then. The technology players in the marketplace were those that had a pedigree in traditional check processing- the people who could make documents fly down the track on a 3890 high speed sorter. You had to earn spurs in centralized, sorter-based processing to get a seat at the distributed capture table.
The push to capture checks from outside a financial institution's infrastructure through merchant capture, and the slow evolution of the X9 and image quality standards began the tear away from the "sorter-on-a-rope" paradigm, as an industry wag uncharitably put it. New players entered the field, and some leading names disappeared from the industry. Fast forward (yes, an obsolete term in the MP3 era) to 2012, and we have technology suppliers specializing in particular channels of capture. Clearing and settlement? Oh well, that's something that someone does with the X9 file we give them. Now, toss in the down-loadable app, and we are perhaps set for more deconstruction of the check processing chain.
I am tempted to draw a parallel with the evolution of card processing. During the paper draft days, there were "paper factories" processing card transactions. Electronic Draft Capture (EDC), and the introduction of specialized terminals by Verifone , Hypercom and others changed the nature of the industry. Today, there are those that specialize in the acquiring front end and others who drive scale through the switch. Substitute the words "capture" for "acquire" and "clear" for "switch" and you may have a template for where check processing may go.
I know past is not always prologue, and checks are very different from cards. Draw the picture out nevertheless and contemplate the shape of the check processing industry in five years. Fascinating, right?

Within the whole makeup industry, many different phases have been in and out of fashion. However one that has stuck in a lot of peoples everyday makeup routine and still a must have is the face primer. Which shouldn't be confused with moisturiser because that softens skin, primers prepare the skin for tinted moisturiser or foundation. This is such a well loved product because it improves coverage and lengthens the amount of time the cosmetic lasts on the face. To see if this was true I decided to put two of my favourite primers to the ultimate test both containing different formulas.
Lets begin with one that I've been using for almost a year now and has been a lifesaver in the days I've had to rush my makeup routine. Pretty Face Primer is created for a flawless finish and it does exactly that. However I'm still not keen on the silicone formula because I tend to find it stays in one spot instead of warming into the skin. But when I do get the right balance of product this is great to help make the foundation not slide off of my face throughout the day and reduces the oils. If you're a beginner in the makeup world and looking for a affordable, versatile primer then this is the one for you at only £5 for a 30ml tube.
If you're someone like me who prefers the feel of lotion based primers in the morning instead of a silicone one then this Freedom ProStudio Anti-Shine Base Lotion (that was a mouthful!) is for you. Being a professional lotion it's created to instantly mattify, hydrate, improve texture and prime the skin for all control. The greasier elements in cream face primers means that they're more suitable for drier skin types or to be used in winter. This is a bit of a pricey purchase at £8 in Superdrug but it is totally worth it because once on it instantly fades into the skin for easy protection throughout the day.
At the end of the day, if you're beginning to dive into makeup or even someone who's been a big fan of it and wondering why your makeup isn't lasting as long as it says on the packaging then it's most likely because you are not using a primer or even using it correctly. They come in so many different types so if you don't like the sound of silicone or lotion based ones coming in contact with your face then don't worry because there are so many different ones on the market right now! Just takes patience and the right eye.
Thank you so much for reading this post! Let me know what products you want me to put to the test next time? Maybe eyeshadows or mascaras. Let me know down below!

Fully booked, bigger and with even more international exhibitors, the eTravel World now occupies three halls - Over 250 Travel Tech exhibitors are expected to attend - Payment solutions are a key topic - New segment at ITB Berlin: the marketplace for Technology, Tours & Activities (TTA)
The eTravel World features tomorrow's technology trends
The head of ITB Berlin and Pepper the robot are to open the event - New Hospitality Tech Forum on Thursday - Debut on Friday for the Start-up Day in cooperation with VIR
Berlin, 18 January 2018 - At the eTravel World at ITB Berlin visitors to the eTravel Stage and eTravel Lab can again find out about the innovations of the future and their potential impact on the travel industry. With its wealth of knowledge about tomorrow's technology this marketplace is the most important in this segment, and can be found in Halls 6.1 and 7.1c. The focus will be on future-oriented topics such as the blockchain, social media and voice recognition. New events this year include the Hospitality Tech Forum, featuring hospitality industry topics, and the Start-up Day in cooperation with Verband Internet Reisevertrieb (VIR), Germany's leading association for the online travel industry. On 7 March 2018 at 10.30 a.m. on the stage in Hall 6.1 David Ruetz, head of ITB Berlin, and the humanoid robot Pepper will jointly open the eTravel World.
This year, for the first time, exclusive hosts for the day will present the programme, among them the entrepreneur and consultant Axel Jockwer and Prof. Dr. Claudia Brözel of Fachhochschule Eberswalde. After a brief welcome by the Hospitality Industry Club the Wednesday will kick off with a lecture entitled 'Can curiosity beat robots?' by Julia Jung and Stefan Niemeyer of neusta eTourism. The two experts will examine the elements needed for artificial intelligence to awaken users' curiosity. Using concrete examples of best practices they will demonstrate how so-called curiosity marketing can be successful. In his lecture Alex Bainbridge, editor and CTO of DestinationCTO, will talk about driverless cars and their marketing potential for tour operators. Afterwards, Tanja Weinekötter of Marketing + Event Support will examine the possibilities for using social media as a booking tool.
Thursday, 8 March 2018 will witness the launch of a new event. From 2 to 5.30 p.m. at the eTravel World the ITB Hospitality Tech Forum at the eTravel Lab will take place for the first time. The afternoon's events will be hosted by Nick Vivion, the editorial director of tnooz. Events will include a lecture by Conichi founder and CEO Maximilian Waldmann who will illustrate why a certain 'sexy' image is still needed for business travel. Following this, Andriew Lim of the Hotel School Den Haag will examine the challenges and opportunities of the blockchain. Using concrete examples he will demonstrate successful uses of this new technology. In other lectures speakers will look at artificial intelligence in the context of the hospitality industry, personalised pricing policies and individual communications between hotels and their customers.
On Friday, in cooperation with Verband Internet Reisevertrieb (VIR), the focus will be entirely on industry newcomers. At the newly launched eTravel Start-up Day company founders from Europe, America and Asia will meet on the eTravel Stage in Hall 6.1. At a start-up competition and several sessions the new digital community will present its travel technology innovations. On Wednesday the VIR will also act as partner of the Investors Panel.
This year the eTravel World was able to secure tnooz as its exclusive media partner. During the course of ITB Berlin 2018 its journalists will be conducting numerous interviews with fascinating industry personalities and streaming them live. Sponsors and partners of the eTravel World include amongst others Aeroguest, AirDNA, Berner+Becker, Emarsys, Flightroutes, GDX Travel, Hospitality Industry Club, Juvigo, Myhotel, Outdooractive, Safecharge, SDL, travelport, uCloudlink, MTA Masai, Vsourz, 365 Secom Italia, Sojern, Teleticketing and Phocuswright.

Camping 3.9!
This week we're out at what has become a pretty popular spot in Umdun-ri, in beautiful Yeongwol county. It's been threatening to rain, but so far the weather has been fine. We're sticking around until Saturday, two families with several day visitors to join.
The worst part is that like most Korean camping spots, the sites are placed much too close together. This usually isn't a big problem as we come on the off season. Since it is the busiest summer vacation week, we are pretty much packed in like sardines.
At least the water is nice and the beer is cold. We've constructed a flotilla of inflatable tires and a boat, and send the kids down a small waterfall much to their delight.
The kids have been after me for the last 30 minutes to go back into the water. Suppose it is time to get wet again.
But first, maybe another quick Max.

text: What to Contemplate When Picking a Plumber Hiring a plumber is a significant decision that you will make and therefore, you should make sure that you consider all the important factors. That demonstrates that a service provider that has a lot of experience is the most effective choice for you and thus, you should avoid the plumbers that do not have any experience in their work. Make sure that you find a professional that you can easily connect with without a lot of problems. Therefore, you will realize that there are some inexperienced plumbers that will try to persuade you that they can offer you good services and hence you should make sure that you only deal with the service providers that will offer high-quality services to you. Therefore, you should make sure that you pay more attention to the plumbers that have been in this line of business for many years since that is an indication that they have a proven track record of offering high-quality services. Ensure that you ask to speak to previous customers in order that you can determine whether you will receive good services. Thus, you should avoid the service providers that will hesitate to give you names of their past customers. Speaking with former clients is one the most effective methods to measure the quality of services that you will receive and then make the right decision. Another essential element that you should think about is the number of services that you can receive from your preferred plumber. That means that you should ensure that you pick a plumber that offers more than just repairs and instead ensure that you search for a service provider that is able to offer emergency services. Ensure that you determine the amount of money that you will pay for the plumbing services that you will receive. That indicates that different plumbers offer their services at varied costs and hence it is important that you search for the one that you can afford. That indicates that you should also avoid the service providers that will offer their services at very high prices because that does not guarantee that you will receive superior services. That indicates that it is important for you to do an extensive research so that you can increase your chances of finding the most suitable plumber for you. The plumber that you pick should have beneficial information on his website. That indicates that it is important for you to take your time to find the right plumber that will offer the best services to you.Therefore, in case you feel any doubt towards any of the plumbers that you are researching then you should make sure that you find another one. That means that it is critical for you to pick a local plumber that you can easily visit unlike the one that is located in another town since he is far away.

Happy New Year!
I wish everyone well.
Pearl Kreations is 11 years old today. I thank God for sustaining the company and my adventure as Mr. Buttons thus far lol. Sometimes, I can't believe how long it's been!
Well, as has been the tradition for some years now, we will be rolling out some cool buttons in line with some of the blockbusters coming out this year.
Once again, Marvel takes the cake for the most buttons – a whooping 9 out of 11 buttons.In chronological order, we have:
- Captain Marvel buttons and SHIELD buttons for Captain Marvel – out March 8th
- Shazam buttons for Shazam! – out April 5th
- BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) buttons for Hellboy – out April 12th

1968 VW Other - $9,500.00
1968 Volkswagen Beetle
1968 was a great year for Volkswagen. Big changes came with a new larger higher mounted bumper, new large taillamps in back with back up lights, a now electrical fuel gauge, a ventilation system and many safety improvements. The gas filler was also relocated to the outside so you no longer had to pop the trunk to fill it. If you are in the market for a Beetle this is a good year to start with because it has a lot of those desirable features that weren't available prior to 68. This classic bug is in great shape and 90,000 original miles. It was just gone through with multiple components replaced including all new windows with door rubbers. The body is in good shape and the Burgundy paint looks great accented with the original style trim. The original wheels/hubcaps sit under all four corners and are in great shape. You see some of these with different style wheels but nothing creates that vintage Beetle look like the original VW hubcaps.
In back the 1600cc engine runs great with zero smoking issues. It starts up well and delivers that classic Beetle sound. The transmission shifts great and the car just received a new clutch and pressure plate. The transaxle was also replaced as well as the shocks and front ball joints. These cars are always fun to drive and this one scoots around town with no problems.
The interior of the car features high backed bucket seats done in Black upholstery. The carpet is done in Black as well but the door panels are all White which really looks good and creates a nice contrast. The dash of the car has the original components with a Black dash pad. The glove box door and gauge area are painted to match the exterior of the car. Up front the car is carpeted and houses the original spare and jack equipment.
These cars are great classics and one of the best parts is the very affordable asking price!
Make this Beetle yours for $11,500.00!
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL - Reduced down to $9,500.00!
SCAM ALERTS! Please do not get scammed by deals that look too good to be true!
If you are asked to provide money before you take delivery of the car, then you will most likely lose that money! Please do not believe the promises no matter how much you are assured.

ECHR confirms that right to freedom of expression breached in taking action against prisoners for making complaints/
Case of Shahanov and Palfreeman v Bulgaria (Application nos. 35365/12 and 69125/12) [2016] ECHR 686 (21 July 2016)
The applicants, Mr Shahanov and Mr Palfreeman, are currently serving extended prison sentences in Bulgaria's Plovdiv and Sofia Prisons. Both applicants commenced proceedings against the Republic of Bulgaria in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in 2012. The ECHR subsequently joined the proceedings due to their similarity.
The applicant's grievances concerned, in particular, disciplinary punishments imposed by prison authorities following complaints the prisoners had made against prison staff. The applicants alleged that the disciplinary punishments, which were enforced on the basis that the prisoners' complaints had been false and/or defamatory, unjustifiably interfered with their right to freedom of expression under article 10 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Convention). Mr Shahanov also held a separate complaint, alleging interference with his right to private and family life under article 8 of the Convention, on the basis that prison staff routinely open and read his private mail.
In its recent judgment, the ECHR found that both prisoners were justified in submitting their complaints, even where inquiries into these complaints did not subsequently identify any wrongdoing on the part of the prisons or their staff. As a result, the respondents were ordered to pay damages (as well as limited costs) to the applicants.
Mr Shahanov
The first applicant, Mr Nikolay Shahanov, is a Bulgarian national serving a sentence in Plovdiv Prison. In 2011, Mr Shahanov made two written complaints to the Minister for Justice. Mr Shahanov complained that another inmate claimed to be related to two officers in the prison. This inmate had also threatened other inmates, made unwarranted complaints to get special treatment and planned to escape with the assistance of his relatives. Additionally, Mr Shahanov asserted that prison authorities were routinely opening and reading his private correspondence.
An inquiry was opened in relation to Mr Shahanov's complaints and the relevant authority concluded that there was no familial relationship or improper contact between the other inmate and prison officers. Following this, the Governor of Plovdiv Prison ordered that Mr Shahanov be placed in solitary confinement for ten days for making false allegations and defamatory statements about the officers. Mr Shahanov sought judicial review of the Governor's order, which was subsequently upheld on the basis that the findings were accurate and the punishment was proportionate to Mr Shahanov's misconduct.
Mr Palfreeman
The second applicant, Mr Jock Palfreeman, is an Australian national serving an extended sentence in Sofia Prison. In 2012, Mr Palfreeman made a written complaint to the Governor of Sofia Prison. Mr Palfreeman complained that officers had been rude to two journalists that had visited him in prison and had also stolen the personal effects of a visitor of another inmate from the prison lockers. An inquiry that was subsequently held in relation to Mr Palfreeman's complaint found that there was no evidence to validate the prisoner's claims.
In response to the complaint, the Governor of Sofia Prison ordered that Mr Palfreeman would not be able to receive food parcels from outside the prison for three months. Mr Palfreeman appealed the Governor's order to the head of the Chief Directorate for the Execution of Sentences, but it was subsequently upheld. Mr Palfreeman also sought judicial review of the Governor's order in the Sofia District Court, however the Court held that only orders imposing solitary confinement were amenable to such review.
Relevant European law
Article 10(1), provides that every individual has the right to "freedom of expression", which includes the freedom to "impart information and ideas without interference by public authority". Article 10(2) qualifies Article 10(1) by stating that:
… the exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
Article 8(1), which entitles every individual to "respect for his private and family life … and his correspondence", was relevant to the claim regarding Mr Shahanov's private correspondence. Public authorities are not entitled to interfere with this right "except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others" (Article 8(2)).
The ECHR found that Bulgaria's interference with the exercise of the applicants' rights under article 10 was apparent; the imposition of solitary confinement and the restriction on the receipt of food parcels was an interference, in the form of a penalty, with their rights to freedom of expression. Accordingly, the interference could only be compatible with the Convention if it was both "prescribed by law" and "necessary in a democratic society" for one of the aims set out in article 10(2).
Primarily, the Court accepted that the disciplinary punishments were "prescribed by law" (i.e. sections 100 and 101 of the Execution of Sentences and Pre-Trial Detention Act 2009) and was also satisfied that the interferences were intended to protect the reputation and rights of the officers who were the subjects of the applicants' complaints. The salient question was therefore whether the interferences were "necessary in a democratic society" to achieve [that] aim." This answer to this question turned on the proportionality of the interferences. Inassessing this, the Court considered four interconnected factors:
- the nature and exact manner of communication of the complaints;
- the contexts in which the complaints were made;
- the extent to which they affected the officers concerned; and
- the severity of the disciplinary punishments imposed on the applicants.
As a result of its assessment, the Court found:
- While the allegation were serious, the language used in the complaints was not "strong, vexatious or immoderate".
- The complaints concerned an inherent tension in the prison human rights context. Prison authorities seek to deter prisoners from, and discipline them for, making knowingly or recklessly false allegations or defamatory statements about officers, which are calculated to undermine their authority and public confidence in them. In a democratic society, this is a legitimate interest. At the same time, prisoners are in a uniquely vulnerable position when they seek to complain about officers that are tasked with their protection and discipline.
- The fact that the complaints were not made public (or outside the relevant channels for complaint) was important to the question of proportionality, as articulated in the relevant case law. This fact indicated the negative impact to the reputation of the prison staff would have been minimal.
Following the above assessment, the Court found that the "serious sanctions imposed on the applicants could only be regarded as necessary in exceptional circumstances", for example, where the applicants had knowingly made false accusations. This had not been the situation in either applicant's case and on this basis the Court found that there had been a breach of article 10 of the Convention.
The Court also considered Mr Shahanov's complaint about the prison authorities inspecting his mail, in breach of his rights under article 8 of the Convention, however dismissed it as "manifestly ill-founded".
Overall, the recent decision of the ECHR clearly reiterates the importance of "… the possibility in a democratic society governed by the rule of law for a private person to report an alleged irregularity in the conduct of a public official to an authority competent to deal with such an issue."
In the prison context, the decision illuminates the inherent theoretical tension between the State's interest in maintaining public and prisoner confidence in the administration of prisons, and the rights of prisoners to complain about the conditions in which they live out their sentences. The Court's reasoning attempts to balance those conflicting interests in practice by identifying factual considerations which might mitigate against, or weigh in favour of, punishing a prisoner for making a complaint about the conduct of an officer.

|A stone oil-press at Domus Romana, Rabat, Malta.
Recently we took our children to visit an archaeological site of the Roman era. One of the artefacts exhibited was a stone oil-press (see picture), which in Aramaic is called 'Gethsemane'. It is likely that the garden where our Lord went to pray on the night before his passion was named Gethsemane because it housed such an oil-press. The Garden of Gethsemane was itself located at the foot of the Mount of Olives.
At Gethsemane Jesus offered up prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears. Three times he pleaded with God, 'My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will' (Mat 26:39).
Why was Jesus so distressed and troubled? Why, as he himself said, was his soul so sorrowful, even to death? What made him fall to his face in earnest prayer? Why did his sweat become like drops of blood falling to the ground?
Could it be that he was fearful of the scourging and beatings he was about to receive? Was it the mockery and insults of his enemies? Was he dreading the heavy cross, the nails driven through his hands and feet, and the crown of thrones on his head? Was he terrified of the agony and the thirst that he was about to endure while hanging on the cross?
A stone much harder and heavier was pressing and crushing his soul. No-one ever suffered as he suffered. The death of Christ was unique.
Let us remember that Jesus is the beloved Son in whom the Father is well pleased. He came to the world to redeem his people from sin, but he himself was without sin. Jesus is holy, innocent and unstained. But notice now what he did.
Christ came to free us from the curse of the law. We broke the law and God's wrath rested on our heads. To free us from condemnation, Christ, the Blessed One, was cursed in our place, as the Scripture says, 'Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree' (Gal 3:10-14). Jesus was cursed for us! Christ was made sin for us! (2 Cor 5:21).
It is no wonder that the Lord detested that awful hour, and that he prayed so earnestly to the Father to spare him the cup ... if it were possible.
But for our liberty, no, it was not possible. He had to be pierced for our transgressions; he had to be crushed for our iniquities. The lamb of God had to be sacrificed on the altar to take away the sin of the world.
There is no other way. Those who reject him will have to drink the cup of the wrath of God themselves and suffer for eternity in hell.
We who have embraced Christ by faith will not drink the bitter cup of divine wrath. Christ took the cup and drank it for us. We drink the wine of gladness and salvation which Christ obtained by the suffering of his soul. Praise his holy name!

I live my life by lists ,that are then replaced by another list with a footnote to refer back to list one and so on.
To make sense of my day I have to have a list otherwise it's chaos,not remembering what I am supposed to be doing.
I guess it started when I was a kid and Mother was at work she would leave me a list of things to do when I got home from school every day.
Then when I was about 19 and a mother I was married to an abusive man so I ended up having a mental breakdown.To get through those days I had a list which even included having a shower and brushing my teeth ! Each item was ticked off as I done them.But I think that made it worse in a way because then I became obsessed with the daily list especially if I hadn't completed today's tasks.It was a help but a hindrance as well as I would add things to the lists making them near impossible to do in one 24 hour period.
I am in control of my lists now but still rely on them daily to make sure I don't forget something important,gone are the have a shower entries and other things that are automatic now .
People that are around know about my lists and will tell my to look at my list if I say something like 'did I pay the electric bill ? '
I even carry a note book in my bag just in case I think of something important that needs doing as you know that time you get home it would of vanished from your mind.
How do people survive without lists ? I am well aware that this isn't normal for most of the humans I meet but it keeps me happy .

Have a look at this site:
Should give you a feel for what's out there.
My new favorite sale site. They had a 24 footer that the sale is pending I'm Doring to know what it sold for. That's exactly what I want.
Who and where do you plan to entertain? Sorry, just trying to understand why you want an RV if you don't want to camp or sleep in it. Maybe a conversion van makes more sense?
Simply put, I don't see you finding what you are after on your current budget. There are functional $10,000 motorhomes out there, but it takes a lot of shopping to find one, and they are usually from private sellers wanting to make a quick sale. While it may seem strange they also tend to be Class A's, and sometimes Class C's. Smaller Class B camper van style RV's seem to actually retain their value more than any other type, which makes your search that much more difficult, perhaps this is due to the fact that they can somewhat be used as daily driver vehicles, something that few people would try to do with a 30+ ft long Class A. Also even if you do find one in fair condition, you should expect to budget for ongoing maintenance, as well as any deferred maintenance items. I bought a 15 year old class A with 75,000 miles on it last year for $20,000, and in preparation to take it on a 4,000+ mile trip this summer I ended up spending over $5,500 on maintenance and upgrades, about half (maybe 2/3) of which were things I could have put off a little longer. This included everything from new shocks to a $700 dash air conditioner repair, as well as new spark plugs and having all the fluids changed, most of the work I did myself.
I have been to PPL many times. DO NOT get too excited until you go there and inspect closely. I didn't shop MH but did have a hard time finding anything NOT water damaged. I'm not saying everything is bad but inspect closely and use that knowledgeable person that you know.Good to know and I don't think I'll want anything from Texas for awhile. I like the $500 deposit thing they have for out of towners. Ugh thinking this RV dream might not happen.
It sounds backwards to me. If you are going to sleep in motels often and seating is more important than a bed it sounds like you need a mini van or perhaps a regular van or even a car that gets 2 to 3 times the mpg and far easier to maintain than an RV. I just woke up so maybe I'm missing something.
Would you folks mind if I post a couple of local craigslist adds and give me your opinions and thoughts?
Tony, the only reason online forums exist is to ask and answer questions. That is the sole reason we are here. Feel free to post as many ads as you wish. :)

It's possible, but the search will take time and effort. Don't jump at the first one you find.
Here's an example I found on Craigslist three years ago. It's my current motorhome, and while it's too small for a family of four it's an example of what you can find if you look long enough. Since then I've put another 24k miles on it, and the total maintenance has been to give it a tune-up, replace the house battery, and last week align the front end after replacing the front tires. I'm currently in the middle of an open ended trip through Colorado and New Mexico - so far 3 weeks and counting!
http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,74857.msg680693.html#msg680693 (http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,74857.msg680693.html#msg680693)
So there is hope. LOl
The 2003 Four Winds looks real good. The price is in line. However that is a really small RV. Go live in your bathroom for a week to find out how small it really is, or go rent one for a weekend. The only downside to this RV despite the fact it is a C, would be making the bed. If you go see it ask them to make the bed.
The 21 footer is way too small unless you are a midget and travel alone. And it is massively overpriced.
Thank you. I don't ever plan on living in it. Think of its use as a really big mini van. The NADA bummed me out. But better to know now. Haha
Thank you. I don't ever plan on living in it. Think of its use as a really big mini van. The NADA bummed me out. But better to know now.It doesn't matter if you are living in it or using it only a few times a year on weekends it still way too small for a family of four. Your kids are small and they will only get larger. Each person brings a bunch of stuff with them. Cs have very little storage. They also have very small holding tank so you would be dumping frequently. You really need to rent a small RV for a weekend and try it out.
What's your opinion as far as size on a class b airstream lounge ext? 24.5 See that was just right size wise. Are class c's in 24 smaller?A class C would be larger than a class B but both are way too small for that many people.
So what's fair price for this? Let's say it is in "great" shape and it seems to be have been very well cared for and documented. ? NADA avg retail $5,500. This seems like it's got me written all over it.Six years ago I paid $6200 for a 33 foot Damon Challenger class A in great condition. All the RVs on the Internet look great. Wait till you see it in person before making any judgment on condition. How do you come to the conclusion that NADA is $5,500? Looks like $4100 to me.
I inputted all the accessories and extras that you can through NADA to get a more accurate price. Such as 4K generator, Heater, Roof AC etc etc. In the ad it says what it all has.That is not the proper way to use NADA. What you missed is the disclaimer found on every page on the site that lists options:
That one looks really nice. How did you come up with $7800? I came up with more than double that;
The way I plan to use the rv is for long road trips possibly sleeping in it once in a blue moon, if driving far and I'm trying to make good time, or just makes sense to sleep in it for a night or 2. But most likely sleeping in hotels. I like to entertain so seating is important more than a actual bed
I have owned several RVs that cost well under $10k and then lived in them for a few years. It is possible however there are a few problems. It takes me four to six months of shopping before actually finding a unit to buy. Most RVs are massively overpriced due to people not understanding how to use NADA. They add in all the options and come up with an obscene price. You do not add in the options to determine the final price on NADA.Spot on about the options. I love watching Big RV on tv seeing weekend users asking for a washer and dryer or a dishwasher. Makes me think that after 2 trips they will be upset for the money they shelled out for those items. Paper plates and extra clothes. When I go on a weekend trip (fri, sat, sun) I shower twice. Once when I'm done driving and once before I leave. I think some people just want these extra things to show off to friends. A few weeks back I almost dropped $300 for a razyor automatic until I realized we watch tv for about 1 hour each night or we just watch a dvd. Why would I need something like that? The more time I spend in my RV the more time I realize that downsizing is not a bad idea. I look around my basement, garage, house and I think we don't need 70% of this junk. But wife wont let me toss it.
Second, you will need at least the purchase price right after you buy it to make it usable. They always need tires and a roof reseal at that price, and that is without exception. Those two items alone will cost in the thousands of dollars. If you try and circumvent this rule it will cost you a lot more. Count on a $10k RV really costing you $20K.
I think some people just want these extra things to show off to friends.

and i guess you did not read my post when i stated they purchased for weekend trips. I was not talking about fulltimers.
Then you think wrong. Not everyone uses an RV the way you do. And I know a number of folks with a lot of these goodies, none of whom are in the "show-off" category, many living full time in the rig, and many more who spend weeks to months in the RV. A washer and dryer, for example, are very practical items in an RV, for those who don't want to spend time in laundromats, and DW loves ours. Of course you normally need hookups for the water usage and/or the generator running for the electric, but not everyone boondocks all the time.
Personally I don't believe in getting too hung up on NADA, You can spend months shopping in the NADA value range to just find one money pit after another. To me a well cared for, well maintained RV with an asking price far above NADA can easily be worth the money.
As to what fits your needs, you need to look at each unit in person, think how you will use it, is there enough seating, with most Class B's and C's the front 2 seats are useless when parked, on a few they swivel and can be functional to a degree in the living space vs class A's where the swiveling front seats are generally in integral part of the social seating plan with full height ceiling above them.
Personally my cut off points are nothing built before 1996 (the introduction year for the OBD-II diagnostic port, and shortly after the mandating of R134a refrigerant for vehicles), preferably something built after 98-01 depending on Ford vs Chevy chassis (I think 98 was the introduction year for the Ford 6.8L V-10, and 01 was the introduction of the Chevy 8.1L V8).
As to length a standard full size parking space like those found in big box store parking lots are 9x22 ft, anything up to about 24 or 25 feet will fit in one without too much overhang.
Where do I find the "Big RV" show? I did a smart search on my Directv and came up empty.http://www.travelchannel.com/shows/big-time-rv
Have a look at this site:
Should give you a feel for what's out there.
if you have budget issues, buying an old RV will cost you money for all the age-related and use-related failures, repairs and maintenance. If you can work on engines and handle home repairs then you might survive the ongoing cost.
You have to love that quality that goes into new coaches these days.
The budget is to allow for those issues. I could buy a newer and/or spend more money on a RV, and have the same issues. I want to take the smallest hit possible if I end up finding out this RV thing is not anything I want to be a part of.hmm, didnt know rhat was possible on a class A. My tanks are up under the floor. They would have to fall through the basement floor.
Funny, today I went to Coast RV Center in Agoura Hills. They had a Brand New 2016 40 foot Class A whose Black water and Grey water tank literally fell out of the RV. The Owner purchased it a month ago. Its covered under warranty but sheesh what an inconvenience, and how disheartening. Give me used!!!!
My new favorite sale site. They had a 24 footer that the sale is pending I'm Doring to know what it sold for. That's exactly what I want.At PPL, some time after the unit has been sold it will be moved to the "Sold" list: https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/sold-rvs (https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/sold-rvs) so you may be able to find out the sold price.
Good luck Tony. Post some pictures if you end up buying it.
To answer my own thread the answer is Yes it is unrealistic to buy something for 10K. Especially when youre not the DIY-er or can overlook some of the wrecks of RVs I've seen in that 10K range. LOL was fun though.Yep, you gotta kiss a lot of frogs before finding your princess. Nice looking rig.

As she seeks re-election, Connie Bernard is once again part of a field of four candidates seeking to serve on the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board.
In 2010, the lone Republican running in District 8, she won outright, getting twice as many votes as her nearest opponent and avoiding a runoff.
This time, she is one of four Republicans running. While the boundaries of this south Baton Rouge district have expanded and lines have shifted, Republicans still predominate.
The election is set for Nov. 4 with a Dec. 6 runoff, if necessary. Early voting for the primary starts Oct. 21 and ends Oct. 28.
In her first term, Bernard has been part of a slim, unstable majority of the School Board beset by conflict and at times ugly debates, most notably during the 2012 superintendent search that led to the hiring of Bernard Taylor. Taylor plans to leave in June when his three-year contract expires.
Bernard is the only member of that majority not supported initially by the Baton Rouge Area Chamber — BRAC endorsed two of her opponents in 2010 — but belatedly came to support her post-election.
This time BRAC's FuturePAC has again passed her over, instead selecting a challenger, insurance executive Chris Bailey, 35. Also throwing support to Bailey is the political action committee supported by Baton Rouge businessman Lane Grigsby. Grigsby supported Bernard last time.
Bernard, 52, however, was recently endorsed by the parish Republican Party's executive committee, on which Bernard sits; she recused herself from voting. The GOP committee did not endorse Bailey or Bernard's other two opponents, Joan Wallyn, 54, a retired social worker, and Charles "Obie" O'Brien, 50, owner of a small trucking company.
Making the case for her re-election is not easy in a district where perhaps one out of 10 families with school-age children patronize the public school system.
"I just think that public school is so important to economic development," she said. "Not that there is anything wrong with private schools, but we need to make sure there are opportunities for everyone."
In contrast to her opponents and most of her constituents, Bernard is sending four children, three of them foster children, to public school. Bernard has a home-based public relations business and has experience managing nonprofit organizations.
Bailey is a first-time political candidate, not active in politics or a follower of the parish school system until recently. He, however, is looking for a school for his 3-year-old son and is wondering about his options.
As a consultant with Arthur J. Gallagher insurance company, he said he works on benefit issues with large employers, including a few school districts.
Bailey's endorsements, particularly from Grigsby and people connected with him, have brought in $22,816 in contributions so far. That's double the $9,632 Bernard has raised for her campaign. Wallyn is a distant third, raising just $1,452. O'Brien has reported no fundraising.
Bailey has adopted as his own the agenda of a Grigsby-formed PAC, Better Schools for Better Futures. That agenda includes shifting power to school principals, similar to unsuccessful legislation pushed by the chamber earlier this year. That agenda also includes embracing widespread school choice, including charter schools and publicly funded vouchers for private schools.
"A lot of people have identified the issues. All the legwork has been done," Bailey said. "I think some people need to get involved who are not scared of the politics and can pull the trigger and get things done."
Another newcomer, Wallyn, takes a much different approach. A licensed social worker who served in many roles for the state of Louisiana until she retired in 2006, Wallyn has become a student of the school system ever since. She has been an active board watcher, sitting in on regular meetings and attending all-day retreats. She has volunteered at schools and grown concerned with what she sees as the negative effect of past changes and attempts at reform.
Bailey, for instance, wants a new superintendent willing to cut teaching positions, redistribute power to principals and cut back Central Office even more than it's been cut in recent years. "We're doing a poor job of administration; that's obvious," he said.
Wallyn, by contrast, wants a conciliator, a person with connections to public schools in Baton Rouge as opposed to someone from elsewhere; all but one of the recent school superintendents in Baton Rouge have been outsiders.
"I think it would improve morale among their ranks if someone was selected from within their ranks, and someone who could do the job," she said.
She also says her professional background makes her an ideal choice to try to bring together an often fractious board.
The final candidate in the race, O'Brien, does not appear to be campaigning and has been difficult to reach. When contacted at home recently by a reporter, O'Brien said to call back a few days later, but a few days later, a man answered the phone and said, "He's not here," and hung up.
District 8 straddles both the city of Baton Rouge and unincorporated areas of the parish that some residents are seeking to incorporate as the city — and eventually a possible breakaway school system — of St. George. It's also an area with very few public schools, particularly none east of Bluebonnet Boulevard and south of Interstate 10.
Bailey and Bernard expressed concerns about the creation of a city of St. George but sympathize with the movement. While neither will say if they support the petition, they say they are in favor of a vote of the people if the petition gets sufficient signatures and that they will abide by the wishes of the public.
Bailey said too many families have moved to the suburbs seeking better schools, but he worries about the impact of a St. George win on the remaining schools in the East Baton Rouge school system.
"It makes a lot of sense, but my concern is the fallout," he said.
Bernard said District 8 residents have more options today than they did four years ago, noting the new Mayfair Lab magnet school and the addition of specialized programs at Magnolia Woods and Wildwood elementary schools.
Bernard, however, said it's high time for a new school to be built. She said she is pressing hard internally for that to happen.
"I never shut up about it," she said. "I feel like a broken record."
Wallyn said District 8 still lacks enough good options.
"We don't have a high school, and there's a lot of discontinuity within the zone," she said. "You can have kids from the same subdivision that can go to 16 schools."
She said she's skeptical of the St. George incorporation effort based on what she's heard so far but would implement it if it passed. Creating a St. George-tailored charter school, rather than forming a whole new school district, would have been quicker and made more sense, she said.
"If education was your primary driver, you would have gotten their job done in the last two years," Wallyn said. "It just doesn't make sense to me."
Editor's note: This story was changed Oct. 13, 2014, to reflect that Joan Wallyn retired in 2006 as a social worker for the state of Louisiana.

Darwin jumped on a bandwagon
I was surfing the web and noticed something interesting on Jonathan Davies' home page - rare, I know. I repeat it here with Jonathan's permission.
Darwin jumped on a bandwagon, Mendelian genetics retarded the expansion of evolutionary theory, and the recent resurgence of interest in fruit.
Google's Ngram viewer (http://books.google.com/ngrams/) provides a fascinating insight into the changing frequency of occurrence of keywords through time, mining the vast information database that is Google Books.
As someone with an interest in ecology and evolution, I thought it might be fun to map their trends. Because I was not sure what biases might exist in the database, I also included what I thought would be a neutral keyword 'fruit'.
Here is my very non-scientific interpretation of what I found. Evolution is much more popular than ecology, and even overtook fruit in the 1960's. The rise of evolution predates publication of the Origin of Species, suggesting Darwin jumped on the evolution bandwagon. Mendelian genetics and a better understanding of inheritance temporarily stalled evolution's growth, which only recovered after Watson & Crick's publication on the structure of DNA. Evolution continued to gain in popularity up until around 2000, at which point both ecology and evolution decline but there is a resurgence of interest in fruit – just a coincidence?
For more details and erudition, see Jonathan's website.

No, I'm delusional or drunk. Just have to laugh sometimes!
So I've started prepping for my 30 days, 30 ways challenge. A part of my prepping was putting together a bit of a calendar of small things I can do each day to reward myself. I've done it as a bit of routine, as I work well like that. Not too sure if that is the intention of the project but that's the way I've done it!
I've included all the usual; yoga, bath, silent tea breaks etc. but this time I'm excited to have added something new! At first I wanted to add try something new, but that is damn near impossible with four kids! So I though .... Visit somewhere new! A day trip or whatever happens. The plan is to visit at least one new place in Victoria every month! No more retracing our steps and visiting the same old places, it's out to explore the new!
We might be close to home or a huge trip out, whatever takes my fancy! And best of all, it's something we can do and decide together! So cheers to that!
I'm excited and that's what I need, some excitement! Time to dust off the tent too I think! Camping In Chaos is becoming stagnant! Let's hit the road!!

NEW YORK — As a child, Elaina Richardson would gaze out from a 17th-floor apartment at the lights of Glasgow. Each beam told her a story of the people and the glamorous life she felt sure was out there.
Now, 30 years later, the editor of Elle magazine looks out over the diamond brilliance of Manhattan's night sky from the window of her 44th-floor office and thinks of the lights of her Scottish girlhood. In those days she was Elaina Henderson, a youngster growing up in the middle of Castlemilk, one of Europe's toughest and most deprived housing projects.
Today, Glasgow's River Clyde has been swapped for the Hudson and the housing project for the historic Belnord building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Instead of singing at gatherings with neighbors, she hosts parties for the likes of Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson. She rides to work in a limousine and shares offices and dinners with John F. Kennedy Jr.
At 36, Richardson has achieved the kind of success that goes beyond anything she might have dreamed of as a child.

Now, when my friend Jon asked me if I would add a post on his blog site I was a little scared, if I'm honest. I've never blogged before and as far as my culinary skills go, well, let's just say I might get a quarter star one day, if I'm lucky. However, the reason I wanted to do it is because I really want to show other people that exciting, exotic dishes do not have to be complicated and scary and they can turn out pretty yummy too!
I'm a big fan of the curry. It's got to be one of the most diverse dishes out there and you can have so much fun just throwing things in and seeing if they work (and generally they do). So this is a take on two of my favourite dishes; chana masala and sag aloo. One thing I will quickly mention before I start is that all of the measurements are guidelines only, most of my cooking is done to taste and I tend to overload on two key ingredients in each dish that compliment each other, such as ginger and lime.
- 1 large bag of fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 1 tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 fresh hot green chillies (or red if you're feeling brave), halved and thinly sliced and don't you dare take the seeds out!
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds, ground
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1tsp tamarind paste
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
1. Boil a steamer pan of water. Add the sweet potato and steam the spinach on top for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan (I make all my curries in my wok) and cook the onion, chickpeas, garlic, chilli and spices for about five minutes over a medium heat. Can I just add here that the key to any successful curry is in the cooking of the onions. They must be fried enough to slightly caramelise them but not too much that they are burnt. I always start off very hot and turn it straight down once they're in, stirring madly.
3. . Drain the sweet potato and add it to the onions and chick peas. Drain the spinach and run under a cold tap, so you can squeeze the water out. Place in a food processor and chop the spinach to a coarse purée
4. Add the tomatoes and tamarind then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach purée and serve with naan (rice will do too but personally it's a bit too dry for rice for me) and a wedge of lime to squeeze over it.
Very quick, very easy and very tasty!

The Mediation of the Spirit
by Cartledge, Mark J.•
Eerdmans 2015
Your Custom Discount
How might a distinctively Pentecostal and charismatic theological perspective inform and enrich the discourse of academic practical theology? In order to address that question, Mark Cartledge in this book probes the relationship between Scripture, experience, and the Holy Spirit by means of the concept of mediation, that is, how the divine is experienced in the world.
An expert in both Pentecostal theology and practical theology, Cartledge offers a unique intervention into practical theology through the lens of the Holy Spirit. He presents an original reading of Pentecost and the Spirit-reception texts in the book of Acts and engages with current literature in both Pentecostal studies and practical theology. Further, Cartledge places his whole discussion within a broader Protestant theological framework, and he interrogates an existing congregational study to provide a real-life example of theological intervention.
In the Logos edition, this volume is enhanced by amazing functionality. Important terms link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Puddy from Good formula; Awkward brush. I bought clear. Did a fine job taming and holding brows in place though I found the brush inadequate and awkward to use. Needs to be fatter,longer, pointed at tip like the spoolies used for luxurious mascaras. Ended up using with a clean brow/lash spoolie; effortless with the right tool.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ModelTasha from A little clunky Overall it is good and makes natural looking brows but I would prefer there to be larger bristles on the tip of the brush so it would spread more evenly as sometimes large clumps can be deposited which I then have to scrape off

Rated 5 out of 5 by Snoglow from Best Brow Gel Out There I bought Kinshasa quite awhile ago, and forgot to write a review! This color is amazing. I have dark eyebrows, but getting a few grey hairs in them, so I use the brow liner Caruse first, and then I apply the Kinshasa over the liner, by brushing the brows in the opposite direction, and then smooth them forward. My brows look so good and so NATURAL!! I had purchased a very 'well known' brand that made my whole brows look like '50's horror woman!! YIKES! So I was pretty scared to try another product, but I totally trust NARS with my face! My brows always look natural and well groomed, and no grey hairs!! I'm looking forward to trying the Oural clear gel, too. Because of right sided neck damage, my right hand shakes sometimes, and I have to 'clean up' mistakes with the colored gel, but that's my problem, not NARS. Thanks for all the great reviews that everybody wrote for the clear gel, because I'm going to buy it on my next purchase. I can always use both, as long as I have the colored brow liner. You just CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH NARS!

Do you watch television? I do. I probably watch too much of it. I really enjoy the shows on the USA channel. They have some excellent shows! Burn Notice, Covert Affairs, Graceland, Suits, Royal Pains, to name a few.
The bad thing about television is that at some point the shows come to an end. The season finales are hard enough, but the series finales can be horrible!
Burn Notice is ending, for good. I understand all good things must come to an end, but I hope they will show the reruns for a long time!
What is your favorite show- of all time? Do you still remember how it felt when it ended?
