The pharmacy near where I work often has some great nail polish deals. I passed through recently and they had a set with this Sally Hansen I Pink I Can nail polish, a set of their Frock Star nail polish strips and a nail file for just €6.95! So of course I couldn't say no. The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes are great and give a lovely finish to your nails.I applied the nail strips as an accent nail, they're fairly easy to use but I don't know if I'd have the patience to apply them to all nails! What do you think?

The Turnbull Government has today announced the key features of two important reforms for consumers, to ensure Australians are treated fairly and ethically by financial product providers.
The Design and Distribution Obligations and the Product Intervention Power will ensure that financial products are targeted and sold to the right consumers, and where products are inappropriately targeted or sold, ASIC will be empowered to intervene in the distribution of the product to prevent harm to consumers.
The Design and Distribution Obligations will require issuers of financial products to:
- identify target markets for their products, having regard to the features of products and consumers in those markets;
- select appropriate distribution channels; and
- periodically review arrangements to ensure they continue to be appropriate.
In addition, distributors of financial products will be required to:
- put in place reasonable controls to ensure products are distributed in accordance with the identified target markets; and
- comply with reasonable requests for information from the issuer in relation to the product's review.
The Design and Distribution obligations will apply to products that are sold to retail clients (with some exceptions) and ASIC will also have the power to exempt a product, or a class of products, on a case-by-case basis.
The Product Intervention Power will enable ASIC to intervene in the distribution of a product where it perceives a risk of significant consumer detriment. The actions ASIC could take include:
- requiring the amendment of product marketing and disclosure materials;
- imposing consumer warnings and labelling changes;
- restricting how a product is distributed; and
- banning products.
ASIC will also be empowered to ban aspects of remuneration practices, where there is a direct link between remuneration and distribution of the product.
Before it uses the new power, ASIC will be required to consider a range of relevant factors, to consult prior to making an intervention, and to publically release a statement of reasons for any intervention.
ASIC will be able to make an intervention for a period of up to 18 months. During this time, the Government will consider whether the intervention should be made permanent.
The reforms respond to two recommendations of the Financial System Inquiry (FSI) to introduce:
- design and distribution obligations to ensure financial products are targeted at the right people; and
- a temporary product intervention power for ASIC, when there is a risk of significant consumer detriment.
In addition to these stand-alone measures recommended by the FSI, the total ambit of ASIC's enforcement powers and penalties for corporate misconduct have been reviewed by the ASIC Enforcement Review Taskforce, the findings of which are being considered by the Government.
Next steps
Submissions on the exposure draft legislation are invited until 9 February 2018.
The Government would like to thank all participants for their involvement in the consultation process to date. Submissions received can be accessed on the Treasury website.

Former Rutgers-Newark professor Anna Stubblefield admitted Monday that she had criminal sexual contact with a disabled man who was unable to speak.Could?
Her guilty plea in state Superior Court in Newark comes after years of maintaining that she and D.J., a man with cerebral palsy, were able to communicate and had fallen in love.
Stubblefield, 48, pleaded guilty to third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact as part of an agreement under which the Essex County Prosecutor's Office will recommend a four-year prison sentence.
In her plea allocution, Stubblefield -- dressed in a dark skirt and cardigan -- admitted she should have known D.J. was legally unable to consent.
"What's the highest level of education you've achieved," Judge John Zunic asked her, as he went through a checklist of questions to ensure Stubblefield was making a fully informed decision.
"Doctoral degree," she said.
Stubblefield and her attorney, James Patton, had no comment Monday after the plea hearing.
She was convicted of aggravated sexual assault in a 2015 trial and sentenced to 12 years in prison, but an appellate court reversed the conviction, ruling the trial judge should have allowed expert testimony about a controversial communication technique Stubblefield said D.J. used to express consent.
Records show Stubblefield served just under a year and six months of that sentence at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Hunterdon County before she was released from custody in July in advance of her second trial.
Preparations for that trial were underway when she accepted the plea deal that was finalized Monday.
Assistant Prosecutor Eric Plant, who handled the original case and again represented the state at Monday's plea hearing, indicated Stubblefield could receive credit for time already served under the previous sentence.
She'll be (re)sentenced May 7.
This is the better outcome of this moral dumpster fire of a case of delusion, rationalization and exploitation of another human being, the exploitation being not simply sexual (which it was) but also acting on the fantasy of being DJ's voice. If I recall correctly, the trial record showed that DJ expressed his discomfort with the sexual encounters by 'scooting' away from Stubblefield, among other non-verbal cues. On the pretense that her voice was his, a pretense she should have known was false, Stubblefield overrode D.J.'s non-verbal methods of expressing himself, silencing him.

Happy holiday season, everyone!
Christmas is almost here! Can you even believe it?! This is the time of year where everyone starts planning and visualizing their annual family photo card... and I'm here to help!
To greatly reduce the traffic of full-time holiday shoots for me this year, I've decided to offer mini sessions for those who want a holiday (or a regular family) photo to send out to their family and friends, but don't require a full session worth of time. This is definitely ideal for the family whose little ones won't last a full session anyways :)
*Please keep in mind that there is LIMITED AVAILABILITY for thiese dates. Once all time slots are filled, that's it! ;)
SO... here are the details!
If you want more info or have any questions, please free to email me!

Sunday Musings
I'm late posting this but the mailman arrived on Friday with squishes for me , yes not one but two squishes in the same day . The first one was from Annette , I had won a giveaway on her blog In Stitches and Seams .
http://www.mccallsquilting.com/contests/Quilt_Design_Star_2012.html There are some wonderful quilts in both levels , well worth the visit .
The next package I had to have Bill go pick up at the postoffice as it was a little too large to fit in our mailbox , oh so what could be inside you ask . Well to my delight there was a package of wool for the Hannah and Harrington BOM , I won this by completing a T in the Bingo game with Tonya of Hillybilly Handiworks . I had so much fun with the Bingo and was delighted to learn I had won .
Sharon , Marcia,Snoodles and Tonya for hosting this fun event , it was a blast .
Now if you are wondering if I have been at the sewing machine at all , well I have done a small amount . Our quilt guild is in its Tenth year and each year we have a quilt to sell tickets on and this year in honor of our Tenth anniversary we are making 10" blocks that will be made into a quilt for ticket sales . Brown paper bags were given out to those who wished to participate at our meeting this month and there are small amounts of three fabrics which all must be in the block . This was not as easy as I first thought it would be , a 10" block was easy enough but having enough of the fabrics given was the challenge but I searched for the perfect block that I knew I would have enough of the background fabric for , that was my challenge the other colors were not a problem . So.... here is the block I came up with and I must say I do love this fabric combination.
here and the little pumpkin icon on my side bar will guide you to Rana's blog as well . I am really pleased with this block of which I need to make one more , yikes , oh well it wasn't that bad once I got started but tell me , could you cut this in half now , that is what I have to do to complete this BOM , it will not be easy to slice through this perfectly good block , wish me luck . In all seriousness I have enjoyed this BOM and am quite pleased with it so far , now to get it finished .
I am off now to start thinking about Christmas , yeah , crazy huh , I signed up for the "Think Christmas" Blog hop with Lesley of the Cuddle Quilter Fame and Madamme Samm so better start getting out those Christmas , red , greens and whites and think of some blocks to make , can you help ?
Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for stopping by .
hugs Sheila

You can send the rain to me if you've had enough. That BOM block is awesome. I had to follow the link to see why on earth you would want to cut it in half. But I think it will be worth it. Can't wait to see your final reveal.ReplyDelete
Lucky you with the wins! Both great gifts. I like the blocks you have made - yes I wondered about the cutting your second block in half but Rana's finished result will be worth that stress!ReplyDelete

Kick-off meeting for Celebration 2013 Event Committee!
Posted: February 15, 2013
Today was our kick-off meeting for the JCHE Spring Celebration 2013 event committee and we are energized! The committee is a wonderful group, and it includes many who are new to JCHE as well as those who have been hard-working supporters for years. Lynne Elfland, a co-chair for the event, welcomed everyone. Joan Slaby, who has lived at JCHE's Coleman House for 18 months, spoke to the group about her experience. She highlighted how JCHE has enabled her to stay independent which, at age 80, is something she so highly values. Speaking for all who live at JCHE, Joan thanked the committee for raising funds for programs and services that "give us our dignity."
The committee discussed the goals and format for this year's events. Information and tips were shared by Carol Hanover, chair of JCHE's Fund Development Committee, and Debbie Mann, a member of the committee who interned at Golda Meir House while she was earning her Social Work degree.
JCHE's Board Chair Merle Grandberg will be honored at this year's event!. JCHE Spring Celebration 2013 is Sunday, May 19 at 6 pm at the Westin Waltham Hotel. For more information about the event -- including registration -- click here. Or contact Marc at 617-912-8480 or email@example.com.

On The BPL Front
From Multiple Sources
The FCC has made public more than 650 pages of technical presentations, correspondence and filings that it says it used in making its decision on the BPL Report and Order in ET Docket 04-37, adopted but not effective. The documentation includes presentations and graphs resulting from field tests of BPL trials in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York and North Carolina. Approximately 150 pages of the documentation consisted of technical material and presentations by FCC staffers. The remaining 500-plus pages include correspondence, technical reports and interference complaints from radio amateurs to the FCC.
Michael Copps, the one FCC commissioner who opposed B-P-L, believes the organization has made a major mistake. Copps says that the FCC is going to have to work hard to monitor, investigate and take quick action over any power-line internet interference to radio amateurs and others.
Electric Broadband LLC reportedly has dropped out of the Cottonwood, Arizona, BPL field trial, and project oversight has shifted to Mountain Telecommunications Inc (MTI), which had been handling system operations for EB. The Verde Valley Amateur Radio Association (VVARA) asked the FCC to hold up the swap and instead dismiss the pilot project's license "with prejudice," alleging the operator had "failed to live up to the terms of the instrument." The Cottonwood Experimental license stipulates that the licensee "must establish and maintain a liaison relationship with the Verde Valley Amateur Radio Association" and respond to interference complaints "in a timely manner."
The Borough of Chambersburg, PA decided against plans to offer BPL services. The Cumberland Valley Amateur Radio Club (CVARC) spearheaded ham radio opposition through an informational campaign.
The European Union amended its 1989 Electromagnetic Compatibility or EMC Directive. Its new Directive includes protection against electromagnetic disturbance for both radio broadcast reception and the amateur radio service. This is an important first step in the battle against BPL emission pollution in the radio spectrum.
The International Amateur Radio Union Region 1 EUROCOM Working Group gained a much broader definition of Electromagnetic Disturbance. The Working Group stressed the role of amateur radio including its safety and emergency communications and the human right to have access information including that provided through radio broadcasts. The BPL lobby has been trying to have European, and other regulators, let them off the hook by trying to categorise amateur radio and some other radio services as being "less important" and not that worthy of being protected against harmful interference generated by BPL systems.
New Scientist points to the British Broadcasting Company which is reportedly developing a B-P-L modem that makes use of the fact that the short-wave frequencies for broadcast radio change throughout the day, as ionospheric conditions dictate. The B-B-C modem reportedly will detect which frequency bands are in use and filters them out.

Hey, cross country people! While I previously addressed some rather general tips on pacing yourself through the season, this post is going to be more about my own experiences with injury over the past year. I hope you're able to get something out of it, even though it looks at first glance like a Mount Everest of a story.
The week after New Englands, last November, I started noticing some increasing hip tightness. I figured that it would go away within a few days, but it did not. A big part of the reason for this, I soon realized, was overtraining. As soon as the season was over, my mindset of daily training would not shut off: I had it in my head that I could do double workouts, multiple times a week, no problem; I did not take that two weeks of total rest as was advised, but instead exhausted my body far more than I should have. Now, I have no idea if my back issues stemmed from this little bit of hip pain, but it was where my experience officially "started."
As I continued to ignore this increasingly noisy voice inside me that told me to "STOP!", my pain got progressively worse. I decided, a full month and a half later, that it might be time to visit a doctor. That visit to that one doctor turned into multiple impatiently-awaited visits with about five doctors. That's right, each one had a different opinion. My brain began to cloud with too much. I wondered, why is nothing getting done about this? All I want is for the pain to go away and move on; in other words, there is a certain amount of impatience that buildings when one hears diagnosis after diagnosis. It is certainly not that easy, as I have learned, to simply "heal."
A couple of months of physical therapy later, I believed I was ready to enter the track season. My physical therapist had me on a gradual running plan, and I figured that I would ease into it, and in a couple of weeks I would be good to go. As it turns out, the first day of practice became a rather memorable one. A shooting feeling up my back began to spread; this was something I had never felt before. I felt as though I could not bend anymore. My muscles tensed up until they felt as stiff as boards. That false voice of readiness had tricked me. All I wanted to do was prove to myself that I was ready for this season. I told people that I was in great shape, and was all better to get back into the swing of things. I was lying to myself; my head was not there, and my body was certainly not there.
The months following this one practice were perhaps some of the most challenging moments of my life. My back pain did not just affect exercise, but it affected the quality of my schoolwork, my social life, my sleep. It affected everything. I was in a constant state of doubt and denial: I snapped at my friends all of the time; I squirmed trying to get comfortable every time I sat down to write a paper or take a test; I tossed and turned trying to sleep in a position that would not curve my back too much or too little. My head was all in my injury. Not having the stress reliever of running, the last couple of months of school were not at all easy. This was when I decided to give my summer to the healing process.
The seventh specialist who I visited finally seemed to get something to click in my head. While my previous doctor mentioned some sort of injection to (surprise, surprise) "help diagnose the problem," this doctor said something that I had never heard any of them say before: "we're going to hold off on this injection, and we're going to send you to a chiropractor." Wow, I thought, a chiropractor of all things. What could he possibly do for me? I did not seem to care anymore, as long as something was allowing me to move somewhere in a direction. This experience, while intending to heal my back, healed my mind and my heart, instead. The first thing he told me was "this is treatable, if not fixable." My brain woke up right then; I realized that I was not going to be in this position forever. There was somewhere to go in the future; I felt motivated to do everything I could to heal in all aspects. I started going regularly to the chiropractor, and started to feel improvement. I believe now that about ten percent of that improvement was from what the chiropractor did to my back. Ninety percent was from my brain becoming fully aware that I could get somewhere. As the pain lessened over a month or so, the chiropractor believed that it was time for exercises. This led to me going to a new physical therapist, which led to more exercises (long story short), which led to where I am now: I went to my first cross country practice of the season yesterday. While I still have good days and bad days, remembering where I was three months ago versus where I am now has kept me moving in the right direction.
So if you've reached the end of this post, I am thoroughly impressed. You have stuck with the annoying rant that has been my life for the past year. However, I hope that what you get out of this is that time is always moving forward, and you just have to move with it. If you're stuck in time and dwelling on the past, you won't get anywhere.
Thanks, Grace

ROI Calculator
Return on Investment (ROI) is a critical factor when making a significant acquisition. DocuWare recently developed a ROI Calculator to help companies better estimate an investment in a DMS – with just a few mouse clicks. This free online tool provides companies with a custom profile that demonstrates how much savings and profit potential can be unlocked with a DMS. For example, users can calculate exactly how much time, space or copying costs can be saved on a monthly basis.
Another special feature of the tool is that users review specific departments to receive concrete suggestions on how to turn time saved into an increase in revenue. For an Accounting department, savings from improved cash flow or early payment discounts can be calculated. In Purchasing, the ROI Calculator shows how DocuWare lowers costs by helping to negotiate better terms and conditions. In Sales, it calculates how much revenue can be increased by streamlining processes. DocuWare users interested in expanding their DMS into other departments can specifically see where the hidden profits are. The ROI Calculator also makes it simple to calculate how quickly a DMS will be amortized within a certain budget.

The laws are the underpinnings of contemporary metaphysics and set a path to illumination. The hermetic principles are an excellent idea for a practitioner to learn as a way to understand the method by which the universe works as a whole. The theories regarding physics are verified and confirmed by the most recent discoveries of contemporary science, especially in what is known as the composition of matter.
New science is presently indicating how it's possible through the comprehension of quantum physics. Some contemporary scientists have suggested that the universe is a type of hologram, meaning that every part is the perfect reflection of the whole.
The universe did not supply you with the ability to manifest what you would like simply to take it off you again. What it gives you is the power to redeem your situation. Therefore, if you hurt others since you felt hurt, don't anticipate the universe to reward you expect instead the identical thing you delivered to is returned. Take your time to completely understand what's being said and incorporate it in your life. Attune to the vibration of what you would like in your life and it'll manifest.
The key to realize is that most of which you experience in life is a result of the choices you make. If you believe your life is full of sadness, misery, and you're always the victim in every scenario, then that's what you are given. You reside in the world you're thinking of. Our material world and that which we see is only one aspect. You understand that everything in the whole physical world can be observed from an endless number of unique points of view.
Nobody escapes anything, though it may appear like some individuals are, in truth, they're not. Matter is simply densified spirit. At the opposite end of the scale, there's matter that has the lowest vibration and might appear to be at rest too. The mind is a strong tool, however we need to begin living more from our heart space. The mind and the spirit have the maximum vibration. If you send out positive thoughts, you are certain to acquire favorable outcomes. Embodying love can make all of the difference in how folks respond to you.
After you get started working with the Law at a higher degree, you're begin living life for a game, and have mastery over your material plane. Hermetic Laws support the thought that there's a universal collective consciousness. Really, it ought to be named Law of potential because it's describing the possible infinite area of the mind. There are a few universal laws that may be found across space and time, they're a component of the way the Universe works.
Once more, the Universal Laws come into play to support your pick. They do not need to be known to exercise their authority. There are several universal laws that regulate the mechanics of reality.

After the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001, there was a reported rise in workplace discrimination against those of the Muslim faith. Thankfully, over the next decade, that type of discrimination began to wane and become less common.
Low-wage workers specifically need protections
When it comes to sexual harassment in New Jersey, all workers need some form of protection. However, low-wage workers may need even more than high-wage workers, according to some sources.
Keep track of discrimination
If you're being victimized by workplace discrimination in New Jersey, one of the best things you can do is to keep track of everything that happens so that you have a detailed report. This can be hugely beneficial if you decide to take legal action or report the individuals responsible. Some simple things you can do to gather evidence include:

Under license from MGM Interactive, GameCo Inc. will develop games for its video game gambling machines (VGM) based on the TV series Vikings and the Western film Hang 'Em High.
GameCo's VGM is an arcade-style video game cabinet that features a single-player game adapted from top console, PC, and mobile developers.

GameCo currently has 30 machines at four properties in Atlantic City, including Caesars, Harrah's Resort, Bally's Wild Wild West, and Tropicana Atlantic City.
While playing Vikings, players will be dropped into a sword fight where players lead their Vikings into battle.

Since I have been watching professional sports from the time I was Ten in 1991, I have been a witness to many sports dynasties. As time goes on, I better appreciate how remarkable they truly are and were. Of course, dynasties in sports come and go just like any cycle. Continue reading
I'm not going to go into the nitty gritty details about why one is more worthy of a basketball player than the other, but I will say that I was 10 years old and in 4th grade, and we all wanted to "Be Like Mike" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0AGiq9j_Ak . All of us! And Basketball ruled. We all shot hoops and we all said we wanted to go to the NBA. During LeBron's time, there have been other players more popular. A lot of people preferred Kobe Bryant (as I mentioned before). Michael Jordan was the guy! Continue reading
The Warriors are going to run away with this thing in a cake walk. Like it won't even be close. That 73 win team from last year, I believed was way more vulnerable than this one that won 67 Games this year. Continue reading
These things matter to me. But then again, based on everything I wrote, logic would say that either Harden or Kawhi should win the MVP. But, Sports fans aren't logical we are emotional, and I have seen few players connect with fans on an emotional level the way Westbrook has this season. Continue reading

Phil Jackson, the man who has 11 Championships as a Coach, is now closely affiliated with Carmelo Anthony, a man who has 3 playoff series wins in his whole 14 year career in the NBA. Continue reading
I have always been intrigued by the mystique of Phil Jackson. How he seemed to always get the best out of his players and get under the skin of his opposing Coaches; Like when former Knicks Head Coach Jeff Van Gundy, poked fun at Phil Jackson calling him "The Big Chief Triangle". I remember Michael Jordan in interviews sharing about Jackson's love of Zen Buddhism. Continue reading

I don't know why I've never heard of RSV but we managed quite nicely without it. It seems we were fortunate; I've since heard of so many others' chids who did not escape it. Our precious l'il Ollie was sure thrown for a loop these past ten days. And I was sucked down the RSV rabbit hole, so to speak.
I didn't realize how anxious I'd become until my sister pointed it out to me in a kind and gentle way yesterday afternoon. "God didn't give you a spirit of fear," she reminded me. "What is that verse?" Neither of us could remember the way it ended; I had to look it up. "But of power, of love and self-discipline." Right now it seems I need some all of that, eh? Not much further on, Timothy reminded us the source of power. "… I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what I've entrusted to him for that day." (2 Timothy 1:7,12)
Well, there's the rub. Have I trusted God completely with my grandson? I call on his ministering angels without a second thought. I know they serve God and protect his people. I wrote Ollie a lullaby, proclaiming as much! But do I really, truly, completely trust my Heavenly Father with this baby boy? This more-precious-than-my-own-life grandbabe? Apparently not; not yet.
I remember all too well this wrestling match with God over our own chids so many years ago. It took me a long while to concede that God could and would care best for them. I was a mama bear at their school, the hockey rink, wherever the opportunity was ripe to go on the offensive. I took on their coaches, teachers, friends' parents, even a negligent referee or two. Mercy! I was determined to be that parent who went to bat for her chids, who stood up against what was wrong with the system, who had their backs. I would be their biggest defender and strongest protector. Supermom, or something like that. My intentions were good; my approach, sometimes not so much.
Over time, slowly but surely, as I grew in my understanding of God and his great love, I learned that I could trust him with my most precious ones, too. His ways are much more gentle and effective. Bonus: in trusting him, I gained immeasurable peace! Because it wasn't about me or my abilities, which are sorely lacking. It wasn't up to me to defend and protect from every angle, as if I even could. Their well being was on him. And he was able.
So it was a rather rude awakening to realize I was slipping back into control freak mode. I had become riddled with fear, concerned for wee Oliver's well-being, panicked by my feebleness and inability to make things right for him, right now. Teeth clenched until my jaw was sore and my tummy twisting into knots, a pitt settling dead center, I felt myself spiraling down that rabbit hole.
This is no way to live, not for a woman of faith! Especially she who's name means peace! (Time to get back on track with my One Little Word, eh? I'll say.)
Just in case I didn't hear God clearly through my sister yesterday, he sent another messenger. We texted back and forth just before bedtime: me telling her the drama of the day — whereby I nearly had a meltdown in an scary Ollie-care scenario — and she reminding me that peace comes from surrendering to a loving Heavenly Father all that I don't own and cannot control anyway. Huh. Well, yes, there is that.
Nothing much has changed since the Hubs and I raised our family. God is God. I am not. I will choose to trust him with Ollie and Henry and all the other grandbabes yet to come. I may have to remind myself of that choice over and over again and if so, I will. I will choose God's perfect love, in which there is no room for fear. I will choose to accept his provisions for me and for my family. I will live gratefully in his perfect peace.
Peace to you, my friend, in whatever you are facing. May you breathe peace, in and out. Believe that God keeps his promises, even midst the storm. Cease wrestling, release control and receive his perfect peace.
I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. John 14:27
~ René Morley

Wireless lavalier microphone systems are an invaluable tool in any filmmaking arsenal. They are often times the best tool for interviews, presentations, vlogs, and filmmaking. In some films getting audio would be impossible in wider shots without these devices, and many vloggers will wear them throughout the entirety of their day to capture their voices. Sometimes boom microphones aren't enough to reach the source of your sound; that's when the wireless lapel mic comes into play. We're going to help you find the best wireless lavalier microphone on the market and make a perfect choice for your needs and budget.
Note: If you're looking for a wireless lavalier mic, you're going to need to purchase a system that includes both a wired lapel microphone and a wireless transmitter. We will put together a guide to the best lapel microphones soon, but here we will be discussing the best microphone-transmitter bundles.
- 1 Best Wireless Lavalier Mic – Our Top 5 Picks
- 1.1 1. Sennheiser EW 112P G3-A
- 1.2 2. RodeLink Wireless Filmmaker System (Modern Professional Pick)
- 1.3 3. Movo WMIC70 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System (Best Well-Rounded Lapel Microphone System)
- 1.4 4. WinBridge WB028 Wireless Lavalier Microphone (Best Budget Lavalier Mic / Best For Events)
- 1.5 5. Fifine Wireless Microphone (Best USB Lavalier Microphone)
- 2 Factors To Consider When Picking The Best Wireless Lapel Microphone System
Best Wireless Lavalier Mic – Our Top 5 Picks
1. Sennheiser EW 112P G3-A
This is without a doubt the best wireless lavalier system on this entire list. This is an Industry Standard Lavalier. The Sennheiser EW 112P is used by many professionals on all kinds of shoots and is astounding in both microphone and transmitter quality. Even I myself have used it doing sound on some commercials and it kicks ass. Interference is for the most part, nonexistent, and when it is, the transmitters are capable of scanning for open frequencies. It's quite expensive, at around $600, but if you are doing professional work this price is necessary. I've read through dozens of reviews where the user has stated it's worth every penny.
It has XLR, line output and camera adapter cables so that it can be sure to be compatible with whatever microphone you are working with. However, the included lapel microphone is nothing short of excellent. It picks up vocals with awesome clarity and handles like a breeze in high wind conditions (haha). The durability of the transmitter and receiver are incredible. I've owned one of these personally for years and have watched careless talent drop them hundreds of times. Not so much as the slightest decrease in performance.
The device uses a 42MHz signal with 1680 UHF frequencies so that you'll never have a problem with interference. There's a feature that allows you to scan all frequencies to select one without interference. You can use this every time you get to a new location to make sure your audio is always crisp and clear.
If you are getting paid to do sound work, we don't think there is any excuse for buying any lavalier on this list other than this one. Maybe the Rode one below, but the Sennheiser EWs have an unmatched quality and sound that is required for your sound gigs.
Be Advised: the interface on the transmitters is a little complex for a novice, but after a few hours of playing with it I had already mastered it.
2. RodeLink Wireless Filmmaker System (Modern Professional Pick)
If you want professional quality sound for your short films or commercials but can't afford the Sennheisers, this is surely the next best thing. The RodeLink Wireless Filmmaker System is a more modern take on the wireless lavalier, using a 2.4GHz digital transmission rather than a low Mhz one like many of the other lavaliers. This technology is very resistant to interference because of the frequency hopping features that it comes with.
You can shoot in busy cities with tons of wireless interference without needing to worry about a loss of audio quality. It's even possible to have 8 of them in one room without needing to adjust the frequencies on all of them, which is great, and can't be said about any other lavalier we've listed.
The microphone included even includes a locking screw to prevent it from being unplugged. Speaking of which, it's sound quality is great. it sounds clean and you definitely won't be wishing it was better. The microphone included usually goes for nearly $300 by itself, and with that price tag you know it's going to crush all of the cheaper options on this list.
Although the construction is plastic, and the device could feel a tiny bit more sturdy, the battery life is excellent and you can look to get 10-14 hours off of a pair. That's a full shoot day! You can even plug it into a USB battery pack for infinite usage if you so desire.
The setup of the RodeLink is very simple. All you have to do is turn them on and choose a few settings before you're ready to shoot. No wasting time scanning for channels. as long as your transmitter and receiver are on the same one, they will communicate via encrpyted 2.4GHz transmissions. All the searching is done automatically rather than manually, so you can focus on what matters. If you're a mid-range filmmaker, this one is our recommendation for you.
3. Movo WMIC70 Wireless Lavalier Microphone System (Best Well-Rounded Lapel Microphone System)
We think this is the best wireless lavalier microphone for people who aren't necessarily working in the film industry, but are looking to create their own content in the form of short films or YouTube videos. At under $200, this is less than half the price of the Rode, and less than a third of the price of the Sennheisers. Taking this into consideration, it's amazing that the quality can be so great at such a low price.
This Lavalier system claims a range of 328 feet, and has 48 selectable channels. Some users have noted the actual range to be much shorter than that, so be wary if you'll need to be far away from your target. It operates at an UHF frequency range of 584 Mhz – 608 Mhz, which is great for wireless recording. The battery life is 8 hours, but fortunately this lapel microphone system uses AA batteries, so you can swap them and keep shooting indefinitely. Channel searching is included and for the most part interference isn't too much of an issue*.
The transmitter includes both a line and 3.5mm microphone jack, and the receiver includes a headphone jack for monitoring during recording in addition to the output. XLR cable converters are even included if you want to use a microphone other than the one included. We don't think you'll have to do that though, because the microphone included is excellent. Your vocals will be clean and crisp so long as you make sure there isn't interference.
*A minority of users have encountered interference problems on set that they had a hard time correcting. This is okay if you're just making a film with your friends or Vlogging out in public, but we do not recommend this product for professional paid film gigs. When it works however, it works great!
4. WinBridge WB028 Wireless Lavalier Microphone (Best Budget Lavalier Mic / Best For Events)
This is without a doubt the best value you can get in a wireless lapel microphone system. It's ridiculously cheap at around $40, but has excellent reviews across the internet.
If you're doing work that isn't being recorded, like working at a church or doing powerpoint presentations, this microphone is perfect. Unless your speaking to thousands, you don't need to spend $600 just to have a nice microphone that stays out of the way. Hosting events, parties, and speaking to classrooms are the perfect application for this device. But if you're doing short low-budget YouTube content this lavalier will do just great.
The transmitter and receiver both use built in rechargeable batteries with 10 hours and 4 hours of use time respectively. That's perfect length for any event or short video shoot. It uses a very simple AUX connection for the receiver, so you can take this device and plug it right into any speaker.
All these features aren't much to write home about. Just about every lavalier we looked at can do all these things. However, what sets the WinBridge apart is it's impressive quality to cost ratio. The microphone quality is excellent for giving speeches, there's no feedback, and the design is very robust and sturdy. Teachers love this thing and so will you!
5. Fifine Wireless Microphone (Best USB Lavalier Microphone)
Here's a product I didn't know existed until I started doing research for this guide. The Fifine wireless microphone is everything you would expect out of a lavalier, except it has an unconventional USB receiver. That means you can now record directly from your lapel microphone to your computer without the need for external mixers or recorders!
This is perfect if you're recording stuff for an audio or video podcast, or are doing any work in an environment where you can record direct to a computer. It will also work great for live streaming, especially in streams where you're moving around rather than just sitting at a desk. It has 25 channels in the UHF range of 672-684 MHz, and people have had pretty positive experiences in terms of interference.
It's plug and play without the need for any software, and has little to no latency if you're outputting the audio through your computer's speakers. The transmitter is powered with 2 AA batteries, so you can keep on recording forever if you swap em out!
The microphone of course isn't as pristine and high-fidelity as the one included with the Sennheiser, but it definitely isn't bad. You might not want to use this one on your films or on professional work. But, for YouTube, streams, and podcasts, this is a perfect low budget USB wireless lavalier microphone.
Factors To Consider When Picking The Best Wireless Lapel Microphone System
Build Quality
I have yet to work on a shoot where a Lavalier transmitter was not dropped at least once. You're going to be attaching these devices onto people who may not understand how to operate it. They are also likely to forget they have it on them and drop it when removing their clothes. In any case, it's pretty important that the build quality of your wireless lavalier microphone system can withstand a little bit of damage.
When thinking about build quality it's also necessary to consider weight. If you're vlogging all day long you probably won't want a clunky transmitter on your hip, so if you need your lavalier to be lightweight, take that into consideration!
Operating Range
This factor is more important in some professional applications than others. If you know you're going to be using your microphones in a small controlled environment (like a podcast) where you can be mixing nearby, operating range will not be as important for you. On the other hand, if you are doing event coverage or following some subjects around, it is important your operating range is sufficient. Even if your target is within the listed operating range, things like obstacles or interference can cause issues as your subject gets farther away.
It's a no brainer that you should carefully compare and consider the operating range of the wireless lav system you end up purchasing. Longer is always better. You never know what situations you'll encounter in film.
Microphone Sound Quality
The first thing you think about when purchasing a microphone, obviously. Sometimes it doesn't matter all too much. If you're just looking into making some YouTube videos or need a wireless lav mic for church work, your audio quality doesn't need to be pristine. However, if you're doing any sort of professional film work or are making an independent film, you're going to need the highest quality microphone you can get.
It's also important that you consider the directionality of the mic included. Some mics are highly directional, while others are omnidirectional. Doing event coverage will be better suited with a different mic than quiet film vocals, so make sure you're getting the right type of microphone to suit your needs.
The microphones on each lavalier system will vary, as will the transmitters. If you think you've found a transmitter that does the job well but the microphone is holding you back, you can always purchase a high-quality lapel microphone separately. We're working on a guide to the best lapel microphones to help you out with that in the future.
Additional Features
When choosing your wireless lavalier mic, some of your options may advertise special features that you don't understand. Here's the basics behind a few of them.
- 2.4GHz or 5GHz connectivity – This technology is designed to resist interference, while also enabling transfers of massive amounts of data in short periods of time. It is also unregulated due to it's lack of interference, and features encryption in case you're worried about your data being stolen
- Channel Scanning – An important feature for wireless lavalier microphones that don't have the above technology. Channel scanning allows you to scan the frequencies so that you can find a clear one for your audio recordings.
- Battery Compatibility – Some of the lavaliers we examined featured built in rechargeable batteries, while others contained AA battery slots or even USB charging ports. We would say that if you know you're going to be filming for long periods of time, it is important you get one with AA batteries or a usb charge slot so that you don't end up with any downtime during a shoot.

The Path To Finding Better Experts
Roof Repair and the Basic Factors to Consider A part of our homes and businesses that play very important provisions are the roofs. First and foremost is that they protect us and our belongings from what the different weathers bring. Not only will the roofs shelter us from the rain, snow and hot sunshine, it gives structural support to a home or a building. And so, once repairs and replacement time comes, we have to be prepared with the expenses that will go with it. So what will influence the factors when you conduct repair would depend on the type of your roof, the season when you need the replacement and several other considerations. The kind of roof that you have is your number one factor to consider when planning to have a roof repair or replacement. Be aware that residential roofs even has its own different kinds of roofing. You will be able to see a large range of types of roofs, like flat roofs, shed roofs, gabled roofs, mansard roofs, and hipped roofs. There is a wide range of materials used for your type of roof, and it could be asphalt, shingle, metal or tile. The cost of roofing repair usually ranges from $1 per square foot to more than $10 per square foot, and this will depend on your plan for the type of roof and materials that you will use. Just like in any construction or renovation project, the authorities in your locality will need permits and this is another factor to look into before undergoing your roof repair or replacement. The cost of these regulations or permits will also depend on the vicinity where you live, the size or value of your property and sometimes based on the flat rate of your region.
Options – Getting Started & Next Steps
Take note that roofing contractors will usually make their estimates of repair or replacement based on the size of your roof. Roofing contractors will generally make the computation for roof repairs or replacement based on square footage, thus, if you have a larger coverage you will pay more than that of a smaller area.
Overwhelmed by the Complexity of Businesses? This May Help
Another matter that will influence the costing of your roof repair or replacement is the extent of damage. It is less costly to repair a minor leak or roofing fixtures, however, if you have extensive water damage, it is advisable that you will not compromise your repair. Just a reminder, you should protect your home, family and belongings by removing or replacing all water damaged materials. An increase in your repair costs is also attributed to the many fixtures you have, like chimneys, skylights and other fixtures. It is advisable that you consult more than one roofing contractor to compare costs and quality of services.

(Reviews by Steve Shafer)Hopeton Lewis "There She Goes" b/w Vin Gordon and The Supersonics "Reggay Trombone" (heavyweight 7″ vinyl single, Trojan Records, 2017): This limited edition Record Store Day 2017 release boasts two unreleased Duke Reid productions from Treasure Island's archives. As both cuts are fantastic, one wonders why they lay hidden until now (perhaps the almost ridiculous abundance of incredible music in JA at the time made it difficult to choose what to release?).

About the internet - Avery Miller Art
Information is no longer bound by time or space. 3.3 billion people now have the capability to interface with a device and access content made by any other member of the internet. The whole of publicly recorded information is being condensed onto servers, to be called up by users worldwide at a moments notice. Each user individually chooses his or her way through the web, leaving behind content and creating traffic. We do this without leaving the comfort of our seats. We also do this from nearly any other location within the constantly expanding modernized world. The internet has introduced bold, sweeping changes to how we process information and understand the physical world. The abstraction of viewing real things through the screen instead of in person gives us the impression of having seen much and been many places when in fact we remain safe at home. On the surface, we know more than ever, trading in an endless stream of accessible knowledge. However, knowledge which is gained through this manner has become so prolific that we are unable to focus on a single source long enough to gain its real meaning. The result of this is large portions of the internet specifically designed to be consumed in 6 second or 140 character snippets, and users leaving 98% of webpages within 10 seconds or less. By these methods we learn broadly instead of deeply. The goal of this project is to illustrate how we now interact with this ever flowing fountain of information. What we have found through networking by way of keyboards and backlit screens is a wonder unlike any of the natural world. It is a space that contains illusions far beyond the imagination of any one individual, and in it's magnitude holds a great unknown for each of us. What we choose to connect to through this network now has the ability to shape the paths of our lives as much if not more than the antiquated physical connection. As we progress further into the future of global networking, the line between what we perceive as the real world and the online world will become increasingly blurry. As more and more of our actions take place in digital form we will lose the intricacy of a world that is not reducible to binary digits; exchanging natural forms and limits for an ever flowing stream of man made and computer generated sensory experience. Information is no longer bound by time or space, but because of this freedom we are tied to our screens more than ever before.

Enchantment Group announced today that, with their partners, they have acquired The Cove, a luxury beachfront resort on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, from New Orleans-based businessman Sidney D. Torres, IV and IV Capital.
The 40-acre property, located on the island's northern end on the Caribbean Sea, is just 45 minutes from South Florida. It is serviced by daily flights from Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Nassau into North Eleuthera and Governor's Harbour airports. Positioned on a secluded, rocky promontory flanked by two pink sand beaches, the resort includes stylish seaside villas, cottages and suites, a hilltop infinity pool, open-air sunset bar, gourmet restaurant and sushi bar, and activities like snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking. Enchantment Group will also manage the property, potentially building a spa and additional waterfront suite accommodations.
"Eleuthera offers the appeal of a somewhat under-the-radar island with a magnificent shoreline, peaceful beaches, and crystal-clear water," said Marcos Casillas, vice president of Enchantment Group. "The Cove captures the essence of an idyllic island getaway in a place of stunning natural beauty. It is a great fit for our company's growth and investment strategy."
When Torres, founder of IV Capital, bought The Cove, it had been closed for two years and had only six rooms. Sketching on napkins, he conceived of a grand property outfitted with top amenities, something sought after by discerning travelers. Torres added a highly-rated restaurant and top-shelf bar program with all the flavor of his hometown, New Orleans. The resort now has 55 rooms and a growing list of accolades in the last year:
▪ Fodor's list of the "World's 100 Best Hotels"
▪ Condé Nast Traveler's "Perfect Vacation Beach"▪ Trip Advisor's "Top 5 hotels in the Caribbean"▪ Travel + Leisure's It List: "Best New Hotels"
"After 10 months of construction and two years of operation, the opportunity to partner with Enchantment Group was a perfect fit," said Torres, who will continue to develop property on the island while handing over ownership of The Cove resort to the team at Enchantment Group.
The Cove is the newest addition to the Enchantment Group collection which also includes Enchantment Resort; Mii amo, a destination spa; and Seven Canyons golf club, all in Sedona, Arizona; and the Tides Inn located on Virginia's Chesapeake Bay.

7 ways to better care for winter skin
By Alexandra Spunt for NoMoreDirtyLooks.com
So, this is actually a repost of an article I wrote last year for GOOD. We've never done a repost before, but because several people have sent us emails about their winter skin woes I thought it could be helpful to those who had missed this one—and a reminder to the rest of us. Even to moi, the advice doller who woke up this morning with dryer-than-usual skin and serious lip crackage. Also? Awesome excuse to post a picture from Dr. Zhivago.
How do change your beauty routine, diet, and routine in the winter?
Cosmetics companies just love to sell you on the idea that each new season calls for an arsenal of new products. And why wouldn't they? It means you'll ditch your half-finished current bottle of snake oil in favor of one that comes with the same crap on the inside and different claims on the out. Cha-ching.
Of course, it's true that cold weather and even clock changes can have serious side effects for skin. But if you're the sensitive type, switching out your entire regimen—i.e. risking reactions to new products—right when the temperature is dropping, is likely to do more harm than good. In fact if your skin is at all finicky, we strongly advocate sticking to routine in this area.
So how to beat your winter skin woes?
1. Moisturize. Yes, it's the most boring advice in the world, but there's a reason people say it so often. Moisturizing does exactly what it implies: It helps keep moisture in by replicating the skin's natural barrier function. It's simple science, and you don't need to use a different one for every season. Find a good clean moisturizer that you love, or get with the oil program, and just do it consistently. If you're out and about in the winter keep a to-go version in your bag for some extra application.
2.Wash less. We've covered this in the past, and the merits of this advice are doubly relevant for winter. Over-washing strips skin of its natural protective oils, robs it of healthy bacteria, increases exposure to harmful and/or irritating chemicals, and generally aggravates skin conditions like rosacea and eczema—the very same ones that are exacerbated by seasonal changes. So as the air gets cold and dry, and you're less likely to be a sweaty mess, do yourself a favor and get with the dirty program.
3. Avoid the acids. You don't have to agree with our no-acid rule, but even proponents of stripping and peeling should dial back over the winter. Whether you use AHAs or BHAs, go for chemical peels, get microderm abrasion, or just subscribe to a heavy scrubbing routine, we reallyreallyreally think you should slow down. While you may be less at risk to sun exposure over the winter, burning off that top layer of skin will make you all the more vulnerable to the chafing, drying and cracking effects of cold air and gusty winds. While you may think this is reducing fine lines, we think over the long haul it's speeding up the aging process.

The phenomenal J.D. Okhai Ojeikere was raised in Southwestern Nigeria in a village where photography was an exotic luxury. In 1950, he bought a modest Brownie D camera, and a neighbor taught him the rudiments of photography and the rest is history. The Hairstyle series, which consists of close to a thousand photographs, is the largest and the most thorough segment of Ojeikere's archive. The photographs provide us with an opportunity to look back at what was in vogue in the 1960s and to make comparisons with hair styles of today. For me, the hairstyles took me back to my primary & secondary school days where 'thread' hair styles were in vogue (ok maybe not in vogue, but the norm) and when girls showed their creativity through their hairstyles like 'clap', 'shuku' & 'calabar'. I remember how we all couldn't wait to get our 'weaves did' & flip our hair back like the oyinbo kids do. But after seeing these photographs I'm saddened at how alot of us have lost our creativity and culture and i hope we can all find a balance between these western inspired hair styles (i.e. the brazilian hair frenzy) and our cultural hairstyles which are refreshingly distinct. They symbolize who we are not only as a country, but as individuals.

I came across this blog on my blogger search and I am literally blown away. I had no idea how creative Africans, well, Nigerians are. These hairstyles are beautiffuly innovative and I wish my straw like hair could twist and turn and stand up straight like these beautiful ladies. I think this blog is very important as it shows ignorant people like me a different side to Nigeria. I've been to South Africa, but I have just added Nigeria to my bucket list. Will definitely bookmark this blog. Thankyou.

Guest Post – growing awe
Today we have a guest post from Andrew Mills. Andrew is my older brother. More than that he is a youth pastor with an incredible gift that allows him to connect people to God in new, exciting, life changing ways. He as offered to guest post here now and again and I'm excited to have him do that. I hope you enjoy his writing as much as I do.
Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote, "Knowledge is fostered by curiosity; wisdom by awe".
Think on that a moment. Give it space to breathe.
What is your driving ambition behind your growth? Is it knowledge – to know – to master a subject – to simply learn? Does it come from curiosity?
Or is appreciation, worship, and awe the driving behind your growth?
Good questions. But a better still – how do you grow awe in your life today?

Tuna paste bento
Tuna paste is ridiculously easy to prepare and makes a great no cooking bento, cutting the preparation time to less than 20 minutes, including rice cooking time! Now, that's what I would call cooking on the go! You can also use the tuna paste for a great tasting onigiri or sushi.
Sweet Mustard Eggs Bento
I got tired of sausages after yesterday's deluxe bento, so today I decided to have some eggs with lunch. I put some sweet mustard over the cooked yolk to have them pack some punch and they were really interesting!
I prepared also hand-made furikake (rice sprinkles) with ingredients I like, which made my rice extra tasty today!
Tomato cream soup
Tomatoes are very healthy thanks to the lycopene, but they also taste amazing when you cook them in a cream soup with a pinch of red pepper and garlic. And herbs, croutons, bread rolls or literally anything you would ever want to put in a cream soup, it's so versatile. And because it's summer time now, you can even let it chill and serve it cold. How cool is that?
