Last week I wrote a post showing similarities between Undercover Boss and short-term mission trips. I want to follow that up with some comments about how we go about determining what people in other countries need.
When we see people in developing nations that lack so many things that we consider essential, we are moved to help. That compassion is a good thing, but it needs a bit of discernment along with it. Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert have done much work in this area; they have a website (and book) called When Helping Hurts. I won't pretend to address this topic in the depth that they do, but I do want to share some personal observations.
First, a couple of examples that I've mentioned before. One I saw in the church in Córdoba, Argentina, where I used to live. The church has done an excellent job over the last few years of updating their worship space, creating a lovely setting for meeting together. The preacher is quite technologically adept and has begun using a projector on a regular basis. I went to visit and saw that they were projecting on a tiny screen, something like 3×4. This was puzzling to me, since the wall they were projecting toward was white and perfectly flat. It was a perfect space for projections. "Why are you using that screen instead of just projecting on the wall?," I asked. The answer: "Some Americans gave us this screen, and we thought we should honor their gift by using it."
The other story was one that was told me in Cuba a few years ago:
"We were quite happy, everyone providing their own cup for the Lord's Supper. Then a brother from the States brought us communion trays, without asking. Now we have to find ways to get cups from the States."
Sometimes, when we go to other countries, we create a need that they didn't have before. I saw the newsletter of someone who had been to Cuba. He had a list of things "the Cubans are asking for." It was a strange list, bearing little relation to what I'd heard from the mouths of Cubans. I asked the man, and he said, "I asked them if they wanted some baptismal garments. They said yes." Same with sewing machines and little audio devices to listen to the Bible. That's how he came up with his list of things "they were asking for."
In a similar way, I was at a conference in Alabama where Ammiel Perez, preacher from Havana, was present. One brother showed him some solar-powered devices with teaching materials recorded on them. The devices cost $500 each. The man asked Ammiel if they would be useful in Cuba, and Ammiel said sure. Later I asked Ammiel, "If someone has $5000 to help the church in Cuba, do you want them buying 10 of those devices?" Ammiel said, "No way! We have much bigger needs."
One principle that we need to keep in mind is the principle of relative deprivation. It's the idea of wanting something because others have it. You don't feel the need unless you see that others have something you don't. My uncle talked about growing up poor. He said, "All we had to eat was beans and cornbread. But everyone around us was eating beans and cornbread, so we didn't know we were poor."
When we go to another country with our new smartphone and ask someone in that country if they'd like one, they're probably going to say yes. Now they're hoping to get a smartphone, where they might not have seen one before. (That may be a bad example. One friend in Cuba who is a tour guide told us about a condescending tourist who pulled an old cellphone out of her pocket and asked, "Do you even know what this is?" My friend's colleague whipped out his smartphone and said, "Well THIS is a telephone… I'm not sure what that piece of junk is.")
But if you ask someone, "Do you need one of these?", they're probably going to say yes, even if they don't really need it. Just don't go around saying, "Our brothers are asking for these."
Years ago, the U.S. government established the Alliance for Progress to work with Latin America. In Spanish, that's "La Alianza Para El Progreso." It makes for a funny play on words, because "para" can also be a form of the verb to stop. That makes it "The Alliance Stops Progress." Many Latin Americans felt that's exactly what happened. While they were trying to keep children from dying from diarrhea, their hospitals received advanced cancer treatment machines costing tens of thousands of dollars. Millions of dollars of aid came in, but little was in the form that was really needed.
Have a heart to help. But have ears to listen and eyes to see. Go and be a learner. See what they're real needs are before making your shopping list and writing your appeal letters. You might be surprised.
One closing thought. Tony Fernández in Cuba often repeats something he told me the first time I went: "What we really need in Cuba isn't money. Our greatest need is understanding."

The best price I could find for a headboard with the level of design quality and visual appeal I desired. Quick delivery too.
The headboard looks nice. Did have several quality issues when putting it together which should have been a very simple task. The biggest problem was when I had it all together and was tightening all the bolts. One of the casings that the bolt threads into started backing out. We tried two different methods to fix the problem but couldn't fix it sufficiently. Since it was the bottom rail that couldn't be attached properly we attached the headboard directly to the wall. It was also missing one of the plastic protective feet and one of the pineapples had the bolt in it and the other had the bolt in the bedpost as if someone had already put it together then disassembled it and returned. If I was not under a time crunch I would have exchanged it for another one which hopefully would not have had the same issues.
Nice looking substantial piece, classes up the bedroom. Only issue was the king bed frame did not align with the holes on the headboard and adaptation was necessary which was doable but of course somewhat of a pain. Had same problem with identical but queen headboard purchased at same time.
The headboard is lovely. However, it was difficult to assemble since the holes for a King size are not in the correct place. Ended up using holes in different places on each side, so the frame is slightly off center. Not noticeable once mattress is on the frame though it is a little shaky. Must be better fit if entire bed is ordered so you have the side slats for stability. I do like the design and price, and would order again.
Had a small adjustment to make, we had a new king bed frame and the fit was not matching the headboard to the frame mounts. Otherwise Great!

Project Scope Statement Template
The project scope statement details the project deliverables and describes its major objectives. Use this template to help compose a thorough statement that keeps all of your PMs and stakeholders informed.
The project scope statement details the project deliverables and describes its major objectives. Use this template to help compose a thorough statement that keeps all of your PMs and stakeholders informed.
The Monty Python project manager is a model for the new generation of creative collaboration leadership. The author looks at four movies that encapsulate the project management process and discovers lessons on how to generate ideas that are completely different, motivate teams on a quest to deliver the holy project grail, inspire them in times of adversity to look on the bright side of project life, and find true rewards and meaning in their work.
One of the hardest parts of leading a project is keeping the scope controlled. It may not make you any friends to practice good scope management, but it will help the projects stay successful. Take a step back and make sure you know the basics of when, where, what and how to manage the scope on a project.
Some projects go off the rails, and getting them back means going far beyond the job description. How do you manage that? When it comes to crisis management, do your approaches scream of desperation?
No one is positioned to view the big picture like a program's executive sponsor. Programs vary widely, but they share many characteristics. Understanding these commonalities and how to address them effectively is the key to an initiative's success. This paper offers six critical elements of which program executive sponsors should be aware and ready to manage.
It's time to continue working on self-improvement. This fourth article in a series exploring A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)—Fifth Edition through a lighthearted comparison to personal fitness improvement explores the Project Scope Management knowledge area.
Baselining the schedule dates is the easy part. Trying to baseline the scope will be much more difficult. So how do you go about baselining the scope? Keep these four tips in mind.
Project issues and risks, like zombies, move relatively slowly. It's extremely rare that a project manager will be introduced to a project one day and be overwhelmed by the same failed project the next. Therefore, like survivors of a zombie apocalypse, project managers have time to prepare--and to look for those indications that projects are turning...
The most significant challenge for any project manager is when projects shift modes. The shift from startup to execution, and the shift from execution to closeout, requires a change in mindset. Each shift needs the PM to adjust their focus and emphasis--and a corresponding change to how they deal with people.
Everyone loves a good project management horror story--especially ones where the writing was on the wall and failure so very predictable. With the season in mind, here are one expert's all-time favorites. Can we learn from these blunders?
Using a step-by-step approach to budgeting will make your life easier in the long run, allow you to accurately answer any questions about project expenditures, make much more accurate future cost estimates for similar projects and generally give you more control over the project. Here's some help.
Custom software development is notoriously difficult to estimate. We start with vague ideas of what we want, expecting to fill in the details later. We're usually doing something a little different than what we've done before, or completely different. How can we act more productively?
How are you with uncertainty? Do you revel in the possibilities or crave closure? Agile methods have a very different approach to requirements management that some people find empowering...and others find infuriating.
Simply put, scope is the size of the project. But there's more to it than that!
This checklist will assist you in minimizing scope creep, schedule extensions and project failure by evaluating whether the initial requirements are complete. This series of requirements attributes, quality checks, and examples provide a thorough review of what you plan to do.
The change request form should be used to formally initiate a request for change to a project. Types of change requests you can initiate by using this form include changes to scope, timeframes, deliverables, resources, milestones and expenditures.
Change is bound to happen. Make sure that you handle it correctly by following the proper procedures. This form will help you cover all your bases so change doesn't have to mean big surprises or project disasters.
This simple change request form will keep you mindful of what the proposed change is and the impact it will have.
How do changes get recorded, analyzed and approved on your project? This document contains guidelines for these procedures and more.
The statement of work (SOW) encompasses the goals, scope, deliverables, cost and schedule estimates, stakeholder roles, chain of command and communication guidelines for a project. Learn how to put a quality SOW together by studying its components.
Assess the scope, impact ranking and criticality of each business change required to implement a particular application package.
This procedure describes the process of testing software code or products by the test team. It documents the procedure for the entire testing cycle: generating test plans, scheduling tests, conducting tests and reporting test results. This procedure applies to new development, as well as major and minor releases, including customized solutions delivered to customers.
This Powerpoint presentation is a high-level view of the basics of planning and defining scope.
Use this form to capture the what, how and why of your proposed project change and to get sign-off from the brass.
This tool is designed to create service level agreement information for a justification or similar document. It is most useful for IT organizations that are too small to have a Project Management Office, but can use better control over linking project service level agreements with business objectives.
Are you intending to develop a project? You need a project notification sheet.
This document outlines the Business Scope, which is a description of the area of the business to be supported by the application package, including the specific business activities to be supported, the business objects to be managed and the organizations and sites to be supported.
Who's on first? What's on second? Don't know who's on third? When it comes to your project, you need to have this information at your fingertips. Use our definition of a project status report to make sure your team members provide the right information to the project manager.
We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.

By 1760, British soldiers controlled all of New France. The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1763, giving England control of Canada and the eastern half of the Louisiana Territory. They also traded the island of Cuba to Spain in exchange for Florida. Finally, Spain controlled the western half of the Louisiana Territory. French colonization of North America ended permanently.

text: On July 20, 2006, at 1635 Pacific daylight time, an American Champion Aircraft 7GCBC, N53SE, ground looped while landing in an unimproved area near Greenfield, California. The airplane was registered to a private individual, and was operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The commercial pilot, who was the sole occupant, was not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to a private individual and was operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The local flight originated from the Metz Airport (3CA7), Greenfield, at 1620. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and a flight plan was not filed for the personal flight.According to the pilot's written statement, the owner and the pilot used the tail wheel equipped airplane primarily for observing wildlife in the local area and utilized its short takeoff and landing characteristics to land in areas not accessible to most other aircraft. After having routine maintenance performed on the airplane, the pilot took it out for what was planned to be a short test flight. After departing Metz airport, the pilot elected to climb straight out to a nearby ridgeline. Once on top of the ridge the pilot decided to make an "exploratory" touch-and-go landing to determine the roughness of the terrain. The wind was from the west at approximately 20 knots with gusts. On this first pass the pilot allowed the plane to slow to about 20 miles/hour (mph) during the ground roll before adding power and going around for another landing. According to the pilot, his original intent was to make three touch-and-goes before bringing the plane to a full stop, but because the first landing was uneventful, he became "over confident" and set up for a full stop landing on the second approach. After touchdown, during a ground roll of about 300 feet and with a speed below 5 mph, the airplane was "hit by a thermal or large gust of wind coming up from the left side of the ridge." The left wing rose at a rate that the pilot described as "alarmingly fast." He applied power, but he lacked the control authority to assist in the recovery. The right wing tip contacted the ground and the airplane rotated to the right on its right main tire and right wing tip through approximately 130 degrees. After 90 degrees of rotation the airplane nosed down exposing the underside of the airplane to the wind. The airplane was then blown over onto its topside.The pilot reported that the airplane sustained structural damage to the wings, vertical stabilizer/rudder, and the fuselage.

Make of the claims what you will, but I dug out the following on Dr Phillips:
"Inventor and major shareholder, Dr Phillips practised for many years within the National Health Service and in the private sector as a general practitioner. He later became a medical advisor within the pharmaceuticals industry and later rose to chief executive level. After running his own senior management consultancy for some years, he returned to medicine and specialised in psychotherapy."
As for the superskin, it would be interesting to see whether other research papers agree with the findings.

Really glad to see this product finally on the market. I was approached several years ago to handle the naming and branding of this project (goes without saying, the names I came up with were far better than what has been agreed on! Jealous, moi?) and was blown away with the research and figures. Dr. Phillips seemed to be genuinely driven and passionate about biker safety and the properties of this technology. I can"t wait for the independent test results to be published. The implications for all our safety will be enormous if proven. Congratulations on your determination on securing backing from such a well known and trusted brand in Lazer. (Can I have that free lid you promised me now please?).
On safety in general, does anyone know of any government (or other) research papers that demonstrate the most common causes of motorcycle accidents?

Thats a brilliant invention! It's pretty hard to argue with the evidence, but I also want to see some real independent tests, just to remove any potential doubts.
I'd love to see it become a product that is part of the entire Lazer range as/when production helmets with Superskin come to market.

The VM Email Manager was good from the start, version 2.0 is even better, and the mail functionality is simply the best around. The Interamind developers - with whom I've been in contact about a multilingual solution - sent me this upgrade that now supports VM language tags. So I had an early opportunity to test this version, compare it to the old one as well as to other extensions that I've tried out.
- Fist, VM is a great product and covers all the ground needed for an online shop, but like a Swiss army knive, it offers the tools you need to survive, but a tool dedicated to a single task is often better for that particular task. VM will get your mails out and that's it.
- Second, because of the lack of configurability to your needs you might consider an extension that lets you design your own mails. There are popular solutions for Joomla, and if you have the time and inclination you can roll your own. Be aware though that integration with VM entails some hacks.
- Third, you may consider a turnkey mail extension in the hope that it'll tie in with VM and will take care of registration mails, order confirmations, and emails on status changes. It's a vain hope. Excellent programs, such as AcyMailing and others of the kind, can take care of your marketing, but not your ordering or registrations.
So if you don't want to accept the VM bare bones or invest a lot of time and effort in designing and coding your own mails, you actually don't have a good alternative to Interamind's VM Email Manager.
Luckily, it's a good extension that works out of the box, but allows you to modify the layout and contents to your needs. A couple of VM files are replaced - the original ones are backed up. You can send test mails to yourself until you got it down pat. When you update or upgrade, not a singe comma is changed in your personalized emails - and w/o having to backup or uninstall your old version. And if you do have a problem, the devs are very responsive and helpful.
Cheers, Mike

The other reviewers have already raved about the features of MooFAQ and the very good service. I can verify that on both counts:
Note that you can use the accordeon effect not only for FAQs, but for any content - a great way of getting the most out of your page real-estate.
As to the service, Douglas helped me to customize two of his modules to fit my style and layout, for instance. You don't find that kind of support often - especially considering the very reasonable price...

Sweet buckets, did we move to Seattle and no one mention it? We spent the 4th of July (Happy Birthday America) on the road at Lake Martin, and it rained as much there as it did here. One of the great thing about kids, they don't really care, so we swam in the rain. (What, were we going to get more wet?)

Barbering On The Boulevard, 1060 Lake Murray Boulevard: Summer 2014 3 comments
This little barbershop on Lake Murray Boulevard has closed up shop and has apparently gone from trying to lease all or part to being up for sale. A little sign in back notes that one of the barbers has moved on to a spot on Saint Andrews Drive.
Like Charlie's on Rosewood, this place had one of the now rare motorized spinning barber poles which I've always liked.

Aqua Care Pool Service, 4512 Saint Andrews Road: 2013 no comments
I noticed this empty storefront for Aqua Care Pool Service as I was driving down Saint Andrews recently. It's not too far from the big curve and factory. I remember I used to swim so much in the summer that my eyes would get glued shut with sleep due to chlorine irritation. Nowdays it seems the only time I hit a pool is if I'm at a hotel, and probably not even then..
On the other hand -- no jellyfish.
Tony's Party Shop, 6165 Saint Andrews Road: December 2013 23 comments
Tony's Party Shop was on Saint Andrews Road in a Seven Oaks Shopping Center outparcel (not far from the former Irmo K-Mart).
Commenter Homer noted the closing, and sent in a set of pictures here. I took these two sets of pictures several weeks apart. The property is currently up for sale as shown in this listing
(Hat tip to commenter Homer)
UPDATE 27 April 2014 -- An earlier version of this post assumed the owner had passed away. Happily that seems to be wrong.
Fantasy Island Day Care, 7422 Childs Street: 2013 2 comments
You have to love the street name.
I ran across this defunct Irmo daycare center when I was turing around on Lake Murray Boulevard to go back and take pictures of something else (of what, I cannot now recall).
The way the toys are still out, waiting for children who won't return is rather sad.
New Life Fitness World, 7000 Saint Andrews Rd: 31 December 2013 6 comments
Comparing the Irmo New Life Fitness World with the Two Notch one, you can see that the chain had a well defined aesthetic.
It's also quite a large building, and presumably mostly hollow in the middle. It's hard to think what could go in there without extensive remodeling. (Recall that Columbia Athletic Club had to be completely gutted to become Trader Joe's).
New China, 800 Lake Murray Boulevard: December 2013 no comments
Commenter Homer notes that this small Chinese restaurant in High Pointe Centre on Lake Murray Boulevard has closed.
He sends in his pictures here and notes elsewhere that the place was a true family operation with a daughter often taking orders and translating them for mom and pop.
I note that at this juncture, the plaza sign and spelling (note the 'e' on Pointe and the British Centre) seem rather more grandiose than the current tenant list warrants.

Mudbone's Swamp Shack, 7949 Broad River Road: 2013 4 comments
I have some more pictures of this place.. somewhere.
Mudbone's was a cajun restaurant in Friarsgate Plaza on Broad River Road just North of the I-26 interchange.
Reviews were mixed, but everyone seemed to agree they had great hushpuppies.
UPDATE 16 January 2014 -- Commenter badger sends in these scans of the Mudbone's menu:
Blockbuster, 7249 Saint Andrews Road: Real Soon Now 11 comments
Well, as we've discussed recently, Blockbuster, at least as a physical store, is on the way out. The parent company, Dish Network is shuttering the chain, basically, due to the rise of Internet video. The last Blockbuster movie rental, 'This Is The End', was on Saturday in Hawaii.
I'm not sure how long the clearance at the remaining stores will go on. It's possible this Irmo store is already closed, as these pictures were taken a week ago now, and I haven't been back by. This location joins a long list of Columbia area Blockbusters which have featured here. And Rosewood will be up as soon as I get the chance to get some pictures there.
UPDATE 26 January 2014 -- Well, that's it, as seen in this pix from 12 Jan:
Imperial Glass, Inc: 7971 Woodrow Street Suite 6: 2013 1 comment
Here, I believe, is the last posting from the little strip mall on North Woodrow Street near Broad River Road. This Irmo glass showroom is next to the former China Pearl, and is listed in this year's phonebook (Feb 2013), so apparently closed fairly recently.

Spicy Oven-Fried Oysters Recipe
If you like fried oysters you will love these oven-fried oysters with spicy cocktail sauce. Makes a great appetizer.
36 medium oysters, shucked and drained well
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or vegetable spray
2 lemons for lemon wedges (optional)
1 large bunch of green grapes (optional)
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspooon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
While waiting for oven to heat prepare spicy cocktail sauce. To ketchup add horsradish, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce. Set aside or put in refrigerator to chill.
Combine cornmeal, paprika, ground red pepper and black pepper. Mix well and tranfer cornmeal mixture to large rimmed plate for easy coating of oysters.
Place oysters in small batches in cornmeal mixture, coat completely. Keep oysters separate and place in refrigerator until chilled. Be careful not to knock of cornmeal mixture when removing from refrigerator.
Coat a jelly-roll pan evenly with oil; place in oven for 3 minutes or until very hot.
Arrange oysters on pan in a single layer. Make two batches if necessary. Bake at 450 degrees for approximately 8 to 9 minutes; turn and bake an additional 8 to 9 minutes or until golden. Put spicy cocktail sauce in small decrative bowl and place baked oysters in large platter along with lemon wedges and grapes for garnish.
If serving as an appetizer 2 oysters will do. Add a spoonful of spicy cocktail sauce on the side along with a couple of lemon slices and a mini bunch of grapes. If serving as part of an entree serve 6 to 8 oysters per person with 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce.

Do not need to set it with powder to make it last a long time ,so its fabulous for woman who do not want that heavily made up " old lady" powder look.In general, powders are great for the young skin but not so great on any over 40 skin ( in real sunlight). You always see the peach fuzz- yuck.Highly recommend you try a long last foundation if you want o save time and not have to retouch all day.This one is a winner and very close to WetnWilds Coverall too.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Again with squeeze tubes- everyone should be doing this! This foundation is a godsend! It has a semi-matte finish, not quite 100% matte but also not super dewy... And it has amazing coverage! This reminds me of Laura Mercier Silk Creme foundation but obviously not creme it's liquid. It has an obvious scent but it doesn't transfer to the face. It has an amazing lasting power also! While it is sliiiiiightly dewy it doesn't make me look oily at all. Set this with powder and it leaves me matte almost all day. The only thing that SUCKS about this foundation is the color selection isn't too great. If you are too fair or too dark this won't work for you. I am fortunately in the shade selection. Love! I have repurchased many times and will repurchase many more!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
WOW! This foundation has seriously impressed me. First off, the packaging is easy to dispense and small; good for on the go. Second, the color selection was spot on! It is rare I get a perfect match, considering I am so pale. The lightest shade was great for my skin tone. The coverage is VERY full, but without feeling thick or cakey. It's hard to explain, but the look of it is almost angelic. Lasting power is 2nd to none. Used with Stay Matte powder, it is almost infallible. No oil penetrated the foundation even over a 12 hour period. I have tried everything from MAC to BareMinerals, and nothing has impressed me more! The matte finish, full coverage, and beautiful smooth/airbrushed look will leave you wanting more! :)
Best foundation I ever used. I used to use Avon makeup I go it for free cause mums an Avon lady but my skin didn't like Avon I got pimples and it always sweated off. I brought this as well as their stay matte powder and the two together create a makeup look that lasts ALL DAY without touch ups, I work at McDonald's and it gets really hot behind the counter especially if I'm on fries and the Avon makeup would slide off my nose and chin but this lasts (it does start to look shiny on my nose but that's just because my nose is very oily and a quick powder top up will fix this) and the colour ivory is perfect for me it is winter in Australia now so I have to blend a bit into my neck but its not bad as a teenager on McDonald's pay rate and nothing else I can't afford mac and smash box and nice makeup but this looks nice enough perfect for me! Only con is it dribbles a lot out of the lid my friend borrowed this and didn't expect so much to dribble out and ended up wasting heaps cause she squeezed it and heaps came out :s but its good cause when it runs out I can squeeze down to the very last drop. Love love love this!
Due to a financial downturn, was looking for a replacement for my long-beloved EL DWL. Scrolled through some reviews here and decided to give this a try rather than continuing to go barefaced.
I am not a perfect blend to EL Intensity 2.0 and use 3.0 in summer. Not much more shade choice in Rimmel, but found that the 201 (Classic Beige) was a perfect match for my mid-summer skin. Big thumbs up on match.
After wearing briefly after buying, I took it for a full day test drive the next morning. I didn't notice anything odd smell-wise, though it was very clearly drugstore stuff. Application was simple with fingers or brush, blended in well. It felt smooth, almost gel-like compared to liquid product or the DWL. Coverage was excellent-in fact, I went a little too heavy with a basic application and had to lighten my hand on subsquent days.
I had more time to work with it than I do with the DWL, which seems a bit drier on my skin. That should have been my first clue. While it did not change color throughout the day, I had shine breakthrough I wasn't expecting. Nose/forehead/chin blotting and a light brush of loose translucent powder were required 3 times in my 15 hour day. I agree with others that 25 hours would be stretching it a bit, I have found that the max coverage disappears after about 8-10 hours.
I did not give my overall impression as 5 lippies because of the oiliness and the disappointing appearance of cosmetic acne (1-2 blemishes) occasionally. However, for the price and skintone match, I can't beat this for a replacement for my usual. I will certainly continue to buy for now!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
First off I am very budget conscious and always looking for a great deal and good quality rolled into one package. I recently switched from a mineral foundation to a liquid one in the last 6 months since I found out the mineral powder accentuates the rosacea on my cheeks. The first foundation, Boots No 7 Perfect and Protect that I tried is really good but it is too light for my summer skin coloring. A white face against a tan neck just does not look right. So after watching Emilynoel's review on Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour foundation I thought I would give it a shot. For sure my color is Soft Beige for winter but it is still a tad too light for summer, but it can be warmed up with a little NYC matte bronzer in Sunny and then it blends in well with my neck.
When applied with my fingers...I have to say I really like the feel and texture of this foundation on my skin, it is still light enough to where I really can't feel it on my face but the coverage is pretty good, a medium to full coverage foundation. Finish is slightly satin but not matte, so I have to set my T-zone with some powder, since that is the only area to get oily as the day goes on. The wear time on me is not bad but not 25 hours... considering my T-zone starts too look a little shiny after 5 or 6 hours and it has been hot but I don't mind touching up with some powder or blotting with some oil absorbing sheets. The smell is nice, it sort of reminds me of something herbal scented. It does not set too fast, which is a good thing for blending it to a flawless finish, yet the packaging is so lame that too much foundation will come out all at once if you are not careful. However, I do like squeeze tube idea, thought I just wish Rimmel would have designed the opening to be a little smaller.
Over all I would buy this foundation again... for only $7 it was worth the money spent and then some. :) I just wish Rimmel would put out more shades, the selection is pitiful but a great product nevertheless.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have very dry skin and find this hard to apply even after I've moisturised, I use a little olive oil on my face before hand and it does wonders but rather than go through this trouble everyday, I'd rather find another drugstore brand that suits my skin. I think for oily skin this would be ideal seen as it dries quite quickly
I bought 2 of these as it was on a promo. And i love this product! I got natural beige w/c is the 400 one. I got complimented by my friend as my skin looked flawless!

I really like this product. It has a lot of coverage and is very thick.
My skin is dry so i do have to use a moisturizer first but this product lasts all day and night.
It does not smear or melt which is great!
I will weep the tears of a thousand thunderstorms if this foundation breaks me out or otherwise freaks out my sensitive skin. I adore the finish. A-D-O-R-E. I am 39 and have pretty decent skin, but was struggling trying to find a foundation that wasn't totally matte (as I preferred in my life before fine lines), had a semi-dewy finish AND doesn't contain SPF (sunscreen breaks me out like crazy). This is it!!! Even my hubs commented on how smooth my skin looks while wearing. Fingers and toes crossed this works for me!

Johnson: Lars Eller an emerging star in Montreal five months after devastating hit
Concussed after an Eric Gryba headshot five months ago, Danish forward is one-third of arguably the NHL's top line so far
GEORGE JOHNSON, Calgary HeraldPublished: Tuesday, October 08, 2013
The prospect of 10 years of this kind of collaboration must have Habs' zealots positively giddy with joy. They've even stuck a name on the three, the EGG Line, much to the chagrin of Eller, Gallagher and Galchenyuk.
"Right now," says radio commenter Dany Dube of 98.5 FM in Montreal, "they're the Canadiens' bread and butter. It was like that last year.
"Eller's importance? Well, you saw after that injury what happened to this team."
The Habs were swept aside in five games.
Galchenyk is the baby of the trio at 19 and Gallagher the older brother at 21. Leaving the old-age security payouts and Country Kitchen seniors discounts to Eller. All of 23 years.
"I went from being the youngest guy on the team," muses Eller, "to suddenly being the oldest guy on the line. That's a change in scenario. But we enjoy playing with each other. We're inspiring each other to play good hockey. Those guys are not happy or satisfied with where they are. They push me.
"The guy next to you is the key to your success. We depend on each other. We're accountable to each other. Gallagher is a pleasure to play with. Straight up and down, works his ass off, just keeps going. He wins so many loose pucks.
"Everybody's development is different. It's such an individual thing. For me, it took some more time to get to where I am today. Some guys only need a year. Some need two or three years.
"I always knew I could be a good player. We always knew we could be a good line. But it's not enough for one shift and then have a couple shifts off. Have a good game here or there. It's all about consistency. For sure you can't play 82 great games a year but if we can keep the effort we're bringing, keep the simple plays, then it's gonna turn out good in the end."
Those 30 points compiled in the lockout-shortened 48-game season only whetted people's appetite for the main course Lars Eller was preparing.
"I think people really underestimated his talent when he first came to Montreal," reckons Dube. "We were all talking about the departure of Halak. Obviously there was too much emotion. We weren't really looking at the kid coming in.
"The thing he didn't have then was the understanding of the NHL game. He just needed some mileage. He was doing things he could get away with in Europe or even in the American league that he couldn't afford to do here. Too costly. I think Jacques Martin was very hard on him, but he did a good job. He was honest with him.
"Last year he worked a lot with the team's sports psychologist, Sylvain Guimond. I guess he touched the right buttons. But the talent was already there. And the mix with those two kids . . . you have that in your organization, you know that something is boiling. You can tell. The buzz. You watch them (tonight)."
The Flames had best be advised to avoid blinking. Or face the consequences. On their own, these are. Together, something more, perhaps something very, very special.


text: Napolitano Misleads Public, Claims Sequester Causing Long Airport Lines Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 5 Mar 2013 post a comment On Monday, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano exaggerated the impact the sequester has had on the country's airports, saying lines at the country's busiest airports would "cascade" in the next weeks due to the budget cuts imposed on her agency because of the sequester. "Look people, I don't mean to scare, I mean to inform, but if you are traveling, get to the airport earlier than you otherwise would," Napolitano said. "We are already seeing the effects at some of the ports of entry, the big airports, for example." Napolitano also "said lines have already increased 150% to 200% at airports, including Los Angeles International Airport and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport." But those claims were debunked. An LAX spokesman told the Los Angeles Times that delays have been "minimal" and the average time passengers have spent in line last weekend had been less than 30 minutes. Just like they did before the sequester, Obama administration officials are trying to gin up fear and exaggerate the effects of the sequester to try to win political points.

Joe Zucker's quick-witted just-closed exhibition of muddy-colored paintings at Paul Kasmin began with an art historical wink and a scatological nod: Just inside the door was a canvas turned toward the wall, à la Magritte, with the words "My Stool" written on it. It was a fitting acknowledgement of paint's primal connection to feces, art's paradoxical public and private nature, and Zucker's philosophically wry relationship to both. Zucker's strong two-gallery show, the second part of which is still up at David Nolan, finds this stellar topographer of paint in an indexical, introspective, typically foxy mood. At Kasmin, he exhibited a series of diptychs titled Open Storage. Each work consisted of one poured monochrome abstraction next to a painting of a piece of furniture. Zucker gave us two modes of representation, two schools of aesthetic thought, and two ways of seeing the world.
The David Nolan show feels freer and less sepulchral. We see an opalescent series of paintings and watercolors collectively titled Container Ships. Each Léger-like work looks like a scratchy grid that has organized itself into a vaguely recognizable configuration. Squint and huge ships with hundreds of gigantic rolls of paper or canvas might come into focus. It's an artist's mirage or nightmare. These boats may carry this artist's life's work into the afterlife, or they may be future floating museums of Zucker's wild work. Either way, it's gripping to see an older painter openly thinking about what he might do with all the work he's made that never sold.

With 30 Christmases behind me, an outsider would have good odds on betting Id at least once in my life experienced a full sitting of Frank Capras seminal 1946 Christmas classic Its a Wonderful Life. But like several similarly cherished films of yesteryear, I just never put my mind to watching it, having somehow skirted around it as a kid and the rampant outpouring of pubescent cynicism held it at bay for the next 18 years.
For the seasoned holiday celebrator, there are many vital Christmas lessons that will eventually be learned over the years. Like not to wait until Christmas Eve to do your shopping, remember to keep the tree watered and if you have a cat, put the shiniest and most delicate ornaments out of paws reach, if possible. Also avoid tinsel. If you have a cat, you know why. As it happens, movies are also chock full of learning lessons, especially Christmas movies...
We can call George Bailey a lot of things, but a money-hungry opportunist isnt one of them. In fact, the man seemed to take every opportunity presented to him to be a decent, selfless person, putting the needs of the town of Bedford Falls ahead of his dreams at every turn. But youd never guess that watching the trailer above, which cleverly turns Its A Wonderful Life into The Wolf of Bedford Falls.
So are we safely able to breathe a sigh of relief and chalk this up as a dodged bullet? Will Paramount repeatedly deny and block any progress on a Wonderful Life sequel? If theres a Movie God, the answer is yes.
Well just go ahead and rip the bandage off: Its A Wonderful Life is getting a sequel. And not a made-for-TV Hallmark-Lifetime-ABC Family-style sequel, but an actual feature film that follows up on the 1946 Frank Capra classic, which will focus on George Baileys unlikable grandson. Karolyn Grimes, who played Zuzu in the original film, will appear in the sequel, taking what sounds like the Clarence role.

In 10 days, the 2013 regular session of the Texas Legislature will be history.Some of the most important work of the session is yet to be done. Complex end-of-session deadlines will mix with sleepless nights, but most of it will get done before the end of the day on Memorial Day, May 27.Theres some sort of natural law at play that says the work expands to fit the time available. Legislative records show that by Thursday House and Senate members had introduced 5,867 bills since pre-filing began on Nov. 12. The session began on Jan. 8, and by Thursday the two chambers had passed 307 bills.Thats 71 more bills than were introduced in the regular session two years ago but more than 1,000 fewer than were passed in that session.High-profile bills are exciting, like putting together a two-year state budget, deciding how much to pay for education, finding ways to pay for transportation projects and, this session at least, figuring out how to provide water for a thirsty and growing state.Those bills are like candy for a politicians sweet tooth.But much of the rest of the work is like chewing rocks. Its very important, and thank goodness some people are willing to do it, but its tedious and cant be much fun.Take House Bill 2388, for example. Rep. José Menéndez, D-San Antonio, filed it as a one-page bill on March 5, two months after the session started and three days before the deadline for filing most bills.The purpose of House Bill 2388 is to help communities with military bases closed during a Defense Base Closure and Realignment process to turn around those former local economic engines and make them into productive, job-producing properties once again.When a base is closed and abandoned by the military, the property can be turned over to a locally appointed Defense Base Development Authority, which takes charge of redevelopment.There are three such authorities in Texas, two in San Antonio and one in Beeville, southeast of San Antonio.Menéndez and the bills Senate sponsor, Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, want to help their hometown redevelop 1,200 acres from the former Brooks Air Force Base (designated for closure in 2005) and 1,880 acres of the former Kelly Air Force Base (designated for closure in 1995).The Kelly property, now Port San Antonio, is an industrial complex and logistics center similar to Fort Worth Alliance Airport. Brooks City-Base is a younger development (the base wasnt fully closed until 2011) planned for retail, hospitality, office and industrial users.HB 2388 would do one thing, but its a big one. It would exempt those facilities from state laws that require public, competitive bidding on projects they undertake.Whoa! Sounds like hiding information from the public.No, say the bills supporters, Port San Antonio and Brooks City-Base dont spend public money because they dont have any. What gets built there is built by private tenants spending private money.They shouldnt be subject to public disclosure of their plans and spending, supporters said. They wouldnt be at Alliance.The city of San Antonio might spend public money there, but those projects would still be subject to competitive bidding and public disclosure, the supporters said. But that wasnt clear in HB2388.Even supporters said they expected clarifying language to be added in the House. It wasnt, and the bill passed the House without debate on May 2.But at a Senate committee hearing Wednesday, Sen Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, couldnt stand the fuzziness. After the committee discussed House Bill 2388 for 30 minutes, Van de Putte promised to bring back a clearer version.Thats the stuff of lawmaking, even as time grows short.

I was at 5-stars all around for this book right up until the last 20 minutes, during which the author and I had a significant difference of opinions about what should happen next!
The book is very charming, with great humor, characters, and narration. There are moments of Barbara Rosenblat's delivery that are both hilarious and timeless.
Alas, the ending doesn't work for me, but the rest of the book was lovely.
"What happened?"
I have read pretty much every full-length novel CH has written. From Aurora Teagarden, to Harper Connelly, to Lily Bard, to Sookie Stackhouse. So, I've invested a fair amount of time and money into this author because I have found her books entertaining on some level. They aren't literature, but they have been entertaining fluff reads. Until now. I think she needed a break following the disaster of the final Sookie novel. I almost wish they could recall this book and reissue it in a year once it had been edited. I didn't know this book was going to be about Manfred and Bobo, and I was really excited! Except the writing and characters were so dull and flat, I couldn't even finish the book. Manfred was an awesome character in the Grave Sight books, and I just don't get what went wrong. It was like it was written to fulfill a contract without any joy or interest in the future books.
"Quality 15 minutes"
Ben Stiller's greatest gift is to show his depth without taking himself too seriously....it seems that when so many comedic actors decide to start being "serious", they turn mind-numbingly boring. This was a great combination of author-reader...the right blend of lightness and underlying melancholy.
"Keeping it fresh"
Craig Johnson is doing a good job of managing the difficult task of keeping a series fresh. This installment manages to keep the humor and poignancy alive without retreading old material.
Usually this kind of ending will really bother me and possibly ruin the book. I found this ending perfectly suitable for the characters. I think this book is a nice capsule from start to finish. Don't impose too many requirements on it and just go for the ride.
I read a slew of reviews before launching into this book, so I knew what I was tackling.
I don't know if I dislike it because it is good or if I dislike it because it is bad or somehow...both.
While I definitely do not need or want stories to be puppies and unicorns, I am not sure what the point is of writing a story in which everyone is miserable.
I've been pretty darn miserable during sad lengths of my life, but I still knew plenty of people who were fundamentally happy. I made it through the dark patches and proceeded to be pretty happy. If there are communities out there in which every single person is completely miserable, the citizens should consider moving!
"Not a good start"
Maybe it picks up, but I found the first chapter unlistenable. I mean...just BAD. Pretty surprised it is in the ToA! I do appreciate getting to try the first chapter, though. I tried it with other books in the ToA and have purchased them. In this case, it saved me some money!
"Well, it is short."
The good news is that this book is short, so if it doesn't float your boat, you haven't lost much time. I'm not sure that there is anything wrong with the book per se other than the fact I just don't care for the characters or the themes. I'm sure there are people out there who will respond positively to this book...I'm just not one of them!
It does pick up quite a bit in the second half and I was on the verge of liking the book, but I found the ending unsatisfying.
"Oh dear..."
...how to review this book.
Despite the fact it draws far (far! Far! FAR!) too much on the Twilight novels, I liked the plot. I liked the characters. The narrator did a great job.
That said, I hate to say anything derogatory about a new writer who clearly made such a big effort, but there were sections of dialogue that just made me wince.
At the end of the book, I did look to see when the next book will be released. I look forward to it with some trepidation. Hopefully we'll be past the Twilight-ripoff, though the suggested plot developments make me equally nervous...
If you didn't like (or would never read) the Twilight novels, I can pretty safely say that this series is objectively not for you. For those of us who have read a lot of the modern vampire canon....just brace yourself for the occasional epic dialogue fail.
"Mixed Feelings"
Unless you're familiar with Faust, before listening to this, I would 1) go to the Naxos Audiobooks website and read about this particular production of Faust.
Part 1 has a clear narrative and the performance sparkles.
Part 2, through no fault of the performers, is difficult to follow if you don't already know the story. I kept thinking I had missed something and kept rewinding. Eventually, I read the study guide posted above so I would have a clue what is going on with the story. The narrative of Part 2 is simply nowhere near as compelling as Part 1.
The performers do a wonderful job. It is simply difficult for someone unfamiliar with Part 2 of Faust to follow along without some outside help.

Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Accelerated Growth encourages growth by improving market access and increasing the availability and affordability of inputs and services. It strengthens the links between pastoralists and the buyers of livestock and livestock products. It helps herders increase livestock productivity through improved breeds and expands the adoption of existing and new livestock services.
USAID has created a constellation of seven Development Labs that harness the intellectual power of great American and international academic institutions and that catalyze the development and application of new science, technology, and engineering approaches and tools to solve some of the world's most challenging development problems.
Funzo Kenya supports the Government of Kenya's efforts to make dramatic changes to its health worker education and training systems. "Funzo" means training in Kiswahili. The activity works across the public and private sectors to strengthen pre-service education of health workers, increase the number of health workers graduating from Kenya's medical training institutions, improve access to training for existing health workers, and link professional licensing to ongoing professional development. The activity initiates public-private partnerships to increase available funding for health worker training and professional development.
The Kenya Arid Lands Disaster Risk Reduction program works to increase access to clean water and improve sanitation and hygiene in Kenya's arid lands. The program is part of a larger effort to assist the Kenyan government and local communities to increase their resilience to droughts and flooding caused by a changing climate while simultaneously increasing access to improved water, sanitation and hygiene services.
The project will promote value chain growth and diversification, increase the productivity and incomes of smallholder farmers and other actors along the value chain working in the dairy, maize and other staples and horticulture sectors. The project will work with more than 30 Kenyan government and private sector organizations.
The Kenya Horticulture Competitiveness Project, part of the U.S. Government's "Feed the Future" initiative, is improving food security and nutrition and raising incomes for over 200,000 smallholder farmers. The project is helping farmers to grow more and better quality fruits, vegetables, and flowers, with a special focus on strengthening the value chains related to eight crops: Sweet potato, Irish potato, passion fruit, mango, banana, tomato, cabbage, peas and beans.
Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands – Improving Resilience is reducing hunger and poverty, increasing resilience and social stability, and building a foundation for economic growth among pastoral communities in northern Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands. The activity is implemented by Adeso and works in five counties - Wajir, Isiolo, Garissa, Turkana and Marsabit counties.
Within Central America a rapidly deteriorating security situation has led to significantly decreased levels of citizen safety, fueled in part by the social and economic exclusion of large parts of the population. The U.S. government has developed a new vision on how to assist Central American governments as they work to address this critical issue.

Wichita, KS -- The University of Oklahoma will play UCLA twice in coming years.
OU said Wednesday that the Sooners and Bruins will play in Norman on Sept. 8, 2018, and OU will travel to UCLA for a game on Sept. 14, 2019, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

OU also said it has added Akron to the 2015 schedule and Louisiana-Monroe to the 2016 schedule and said both games will be in Norman.
