Pop Quiz: Which New Orleans official was first elected to office in 1974 and has been reelected to that same office nine times, serving a total of 40 consecutive years on the job? Here's a hint: the office is in charge of mental health commitments, sexual assault examinations, and... classifying the dead.
If you guessed Frank Minyard, the Coroner of New Orleans, you are right. But, for the first time in four decades, Mr. Minyard will not be on the ballot this Saturday. We take a look into who is vying to become New Orleans' next coroner.
The New Orleans Inspector General's Office has issued a report critical of the way the Orleans Parish coroner has paid some of its employees and independent contractors.
However, the report also commends Coroner Frank Minyard for seeking the review of the practices. And it notes that Minyard has been taking steps to improve the way such payments are made.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The attorney for the family of a 20-year-old unarmed man fatally shot by police says a funeral home report indicates Wendell Allen had a hole in his back, which they contend is evidence he was shot from behind.
That would contradict findings of the Orleans Parish coroner's office and New Orleans Police Department, which have both said Allen was shot in the chest.
The Times-Picayune reports (http://bit.ly/HV5VAW ) Allen's family and their attorney, Lionel Lon Burns, on Wednesday accused police of a "cover-up."

Comfortable room and other areas of the B&B, good breakfast and lovely location
We loved the location a real escape from everything. The room was really nice. Comfy and cosy. Breakfast was really good quality. Staff very helpful. A real treat and we will revisit for sure.
Receptionist seemed friendly
Breakfast served on cold plates. Person serving food seemed bad tempered. Morning bathwater didn't come on until late and had a brown stain to it. Dingy atmosphere to building as a whole.
breakfast choices excellent Bar lunch also excellent
We chose to eat out as we found the restaurant prices too high for us.
Beautiful old Inn,the river view rooms are hard to beat.
No blankets available so sleep disturbed having to sleep under a thick doña.
Every Single Thing.
Not one Thing .
Everything about it. Food was delicious and staff most attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Outstanding.
location, grounds and staff professionalism was excellent. The restaurant was extremely good.
we requested a quiet room and at first were put in a room overlooking the courtyard which is in fact a parking lot in front of the hotel. It (the room) was located above the kitchen and was therefore noisy. After one night the staff arranged to move us to a quieter room.
Wonderfully peaceful 'country estate' setting with mature gardens and grounds to wander in. Friendly, helpful staff who were pleasantly unobtrusive. A extremely comfortable, quality hotel without any of the overdone fuss and bling associated with a lot 'exclusive' hotels.
The plumbing, which had a mind of its own.
The Gliffaes is wonderfully positioned for immediate access to beautiful countryside. Staff are friendly.The Hotel offers good dining and is comfortable enough. The views from the room used for breakfast were worth the cost alone !We had no complaints. What's not to like ?
The telephone signal is intermittent but as long as you do not intend to remain fully connected to work (why would you ? ) it is fine.
the comfort luxury and the food.
Very helpful staff and great food. Make use of the billiards table, which is hidden away behind the kitchens!
We were allocated the room with disabled access on the ground floor of the cottages which felt a little overlooked despite being comfy. The bathroom plumbing was very noisy!
The location, ambience, and food. Extremely comfortable bed.
A shower whose temperature varied without warning and as a couple of 'oldies' the staircase.
Comfortable country house. Excellent ambience and warm friendly staff. It could not have been any better. The grounds are delightful and the weather for us was a bonus.
The man in the room next to us, he was up all night and the bathroom was back to back with ours. Not the fault of the hotel.
The friendliness of the staff and the delicious food.
A beautiful hotel in beautiful surroundings, with friendly cheerful staff and very good food.
The service is excellent! Very well trained staff with first-class service level.The place is very nice and elegant, wonderful view from its terrace where you can have breakfast or tea. We strongly recommend the restaurant, really good both for dinner and breakfast!
We really could not find a fault. Charming owners and all staff very helpful, excellent dinner and splendid breakfast, very comfortable room and double bed, good shower etc. We will certainly return, fearing our next visit could not be so good!!
Surroundings. Staff were friendly.Room was lovely with great views.
Did not use the bath tub. It needs looking at regarding cleanliness.
Friendly and helpful staff, secluded location and general ambiance of the hotel.
The hotel grounds as such are an adventure. The location is wonderful. The hotel offers many spots to relax. The general atmosphere is truly that of a grand country house.
The room tariffs and the dining costs are a bit high (but there are fine restaurants in the nearby villages).
Relaxed friendly personable staff and the lovely setting.
That we were not in time for their lovely afternoon tea
No top sheet just a duvet which was too hot in summer
Lovely location, comfortable beds, good food, friendly staff
Very loud squeaky bathroom floor
such a pleasant surprise to find a truly professionally run hotel tucked away in rural Wales. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The quality of the food was outstanding with lots of locally sourced dishes on the menu.
room was a little too small although thoughtfully furnished.

Located in the highlands of northern Thailand, Chiang Rai is home to beautiful wilderness, colourful hill tribes, exotic wildlife and an abundance of trekking routes. The city centre is small enough to wander around and take in the sights by foot, from the historic Wat Phra Kaew – home to the Emerald Buddha, to the modern White Temple. There is also an excellent Hilltribe Education Centre, where trekking enthusiasts can find valuable information about the surrounding wilderness.
Outside of the centre, the Chiang Rai province itself is beautiful. This area, more commonly known as the Golden Triangle, is historically synonymous with the opium and heroin trades, and where Burma, Laos and Thailand all meet. Superb vistas abound, as well as the historical towns of Chiang Saen – one of the oldest in Thailand with a lovely situation on the banks of the Mekong and Mae Sai, the northern most Thai town, on the Burmese border.

Sympathie, you have improved
Three observations so far missing:
1. Though Cloudwarrior has done an excellent job of showing why the Australian housing market is not at all like the US market he could have added one more factor, namely, the much higher interest rates in Australia with the almost inevitable consequence that the generally expected lowering of interest rates by the Reserve Bank will lead to lower interest payments by mortgagees and therefore less pressure on prices. (The huge difference in population distribution between the two countries is almost certainly significant as well. Since the late 19th century Australia has been one of the most urbanised countries in the world and today all but one of the six state capitals is a true metropolis with the considerable economic advantages of big cities (Adelaide being another possible exception to add to Hobart).
2. A factor in Germany's sobriety over housing might be its very low birth rate and (I assume) relatively low intake of immigrants.
3. In Australia, and not a few other countries, confidence in prosperity has led to much bigger houses being built and bought in the last 10 or more years.
Why do people with no economic knowledge bother to comment?
1. "...lowering of interest rates by the Reserve Bank will lead to lower interest payments by mortgagees and therefore less pressure on prices"
- Really? So how come the Japanese housing market went down 50% for more than 20 years (and it's still not over) when interest rates were lowered to zero? In 2008 the RBA lowered rates a lot yet prices went down.
2. "A factor in Germany's sobriety over housing might be its very low birth rate and (I assume) relatively low intake of immigrants."
- Another idiotic comment. Where did Poles, Hungarians, Czechs and other Eastern Europeans go when the EU expanded? To Germany because that's where most jobs are in Europe. Germany's immigration intake was huge. Only 80% of the population was born in Germany. The prices in Germany are reasonable because they didn't have insane credit expansion.
3. "In Australia, and not a few other countries, confidence in prosperity has led to much bigger houses being built and bought in the last 10 or more years."
- How is this supposed to support the housing market? This just ensures it will be easier for people to share a house and put even more pressure on prices.
Perhaps next time you could think and check the facts before you comment instead of making a complete moron of yourself.
2. "A factor in Germany's sobriety over housing might be its very low birth rate and (I assume) relatively low intake of immigrants."
- Another idiotic comment. Where did Poles, Hungarians, Czechs and other Eastern Europeans go when the EU expanded? To Germany because that's where most jobs are in Europe. Germany's immigration intake was huge. Only 80% of the population was born in Germany. The prices in Germany are reasonable because they didn't have insane credit expansion.
>>> I'm sure you are not from Europe, less Eastern part of it. Germany has just lifted intra-EU immigration limitations few months ago for the countries who have joined the EU back in 2004. Guess where those Poles go? Certainly not to Germany, it's Spain, UK and Ireland. In fact, Poles now demand Polish to be recognized official language in the Republic of Ireland. Please read more on, before commenting.
Good comments. In my opinion supply is an important factor. When prices are high it becomes a great buzines to build, so everybody goes on multiplying land by 30, 40, 50 floors just to realize latter that they build too many apartments. Once it happens, there is not lo interest rate that can push prices up again when houses are empty. I see this happening in Brazil everywhere as we speak.
I'm Irish and have heard nothing of this official language thing you mention. However, most government services, at least the paperwork side of things, can be found in a variety of languages. The two official languages in Ireland are Irish, and English.
Perhaps next time you comment you could refrain from insulting other posters. It would have been just as easy to criticize the OP without resorting to insults.
The article states that "Housing prices in Australia ... look particularly frothy" but I struggle to find support for that description in the charts. Australian house prices relative to income and relative to rents are the same now as they were at the start of 2004 and slightly lower than they were at the start of 2008. Since the start of 2010, the price index has been flat and real prices have fallen 5%.
The real estate industry has been a mess for a couple of years now. I think that in order for the American economy to improve, the housing industry is also going to have to improve. Once we get out of this recession that we seem to be in hopefully people will be able to start buying homes more regularly again. Only time will tell if the real estate industry will begin to improve again.
One of your Canadian sources for house prices in this article is incorrect. It should read 'Teranet' not 'Teratnet'. - Steve Downer, Ontario, Canada.
Hmmm, this is interesting. I wouldn't say the prices for housing dropping is necessarily a bad thing in all aspects. In American, I feel like houses are returning to around the prices they were before the extreme leaps in house prices in the early millieum. Also, the article speaks of the countries of France, Canada, and the United States as examples. I believe this is rather ironic considering the United States is currently still in the midst of a recession, France has been suffering recent economic issues within the last years, and Canada has not been noted as a top condender in terms of economic status.
In the West, housing investments has bankrupted many families. My advice to my clients is always to invest near their Chinese, Korea or Japanese towns or at least in places where the proportion of these residents are rising to safeguard their investments. These people had worked hard to invest in the brick and mortar, and hence will do their best to prevent the prices from falling down too far.
Great advice. So had you invested in a Japanese house 20 years ago you would have half your money. Even better if you got a mortgage back then of 80% and it would have ensured you are bankrupt today.
It all depends on your goals in life.
Another real estate agent who know nothing besides talking suckers into buying inflated properties. But that's what the real estate industry is all about.
Well, my parents did exactly that (They bought their house in 1988 in Japan), and they lost 45% of the money (31M out of 70M) between then and now. They still live in the same house, which is what 1/4 of their neighbours couldn't manage because they failed to keep up their mortgage repayment.
However, I will soon be buying a flat for my family (for less than 30M yen, mind you) because at that price I will get better value than renting for our remaining years. So maybe happyfish18 may be onto something...
In the 1980s the West watched the Japanese housing bubble form and burst. They figured that could never happen to them because they were smarter than that. Now, the East has just watched a massive housing bubble in the West form and burst. Now they think they'll never be fooled by a housing bubble because they're smarter than that. Arrogance and a short memory are a terrible combination of traits, yet they're found in abundance all over the world.
The only thing that may spare Canada and Australia is that commodities show no sign of crashing and both economies are heavily reliant on commodity exports.
Very well put and spot on.
The data seem a bit strange. Here in Wuhan, a second-tier city, prices for homes built five years ago in relatively central locations have almost doubled since then. When I asked around in real-estate agencies in Shenzhen a few weeks ago, I was told prices increased by about 150% over the last five years. Possibly this chart looks much more moderate because all homes, also older ones, are included. That would hide the extent of the actual development since buildings older than about 10 years are of such a low quality in China that they no one (with money) is interested in them. Even new buildings are often of unsatisfactory quality.
The chart showing a steady and significant decrease in prices relative to disposable income is certainly not in line with the perception of the people here or of the Chinese government.
The housing market has become more and more expensive over the years. Those people that bought houses as an investment years ago have been doing very well. Purchasing a house in today's market is an even bigger decision because of how much they cost. Even with a struggling economy the housing industry continues to build at a fast pace. New neighborhoods are sprouting up and people are picking places to raise children and retire. Soon houses will be too much for most people to afford, making them have to live in unsafe neighborhoods. In other countries it is much more affordable. Also, in area of the United States that are not as expensive as Virginia it is very evident in the difference between prices. A million dollar house in Virginia can probably be purchased for half the price in areas that do not have a large amount of jobs available. Location is a key factor in the price of the house.
What I have found in the data is that while Japan took 20 years to let its house prices in real terms to fall by 45 per cent the US took only 4 years to do the same at home.
Still, the four years must be long enough to discourage the long-term expectations whereas the Japanese gradualism may find itself more legitimate than America's relative liquidationism that may have not only discouraged but also collapsed the long-term expectations.
It is a good time to be a landlord in the West when those monkeys are chased out of their houses and will need to become tenants.
And you think that after they are chased out of their houses, they'll be high yielding tenants? Ha! All those Chinese investors plunking down in Toronto and Vancouver barely get something like 2-4% yields. With the US economy rebounding, the stock market has already started doing better than that.
Nope. At best these Asian investors are getting horrible advice and horrible returns. At worst, they are risking substantial capital and will lose big time if there's a crash in places like Toronto or Vancouver.
It looks like the housing market is determined by the current economic status and the amount of land available. The combination of the two makes either expensive or cheap housing. Interesting to see that the US has a cheaper housing market than the UK, probably because the amount of land in the UK is small, but the amount of people looking for a house is large.
And Australia is huge. But has sky-high property prices.
Due to the lack of sufficient services in areas outside Sydney and Perth.
The last time someone in Australia spent some serious money on infrastructure was in the 1950s: the snowy mountains project. But it seems the public is quite happy electing people whose idea of running an econmy is to dig a hole in the ground and ship the stuff to China. Oh yes and they're building a desalination plant in Melbourne. Powered by coal burning. So as to avoid crowding and polluting the 99% of the rest of the country.
As someone with a few multi-unit residential properties, I'm loving the market here in the US. The market rents and occupancy are both going up.
An interesting graph that doesn't tell the full story. It is easy to look at a graph and say Australia and the US are similar and then expect the same to happen here.
Housing has already come off the boil in Australia. Our market differs radically from the US:
* you can't just walk away from your mortgage, the banks come after you
* bank's average lending ratio is 80% of the house price, not over 100% as was the US
* Australia has a housing shortage
* there are over 250,000 new immigrants entering every single year on average
* Australia's population is 27% larger than it was in 1996
That is not to say the price isn't inflated. But to compare only prices and make an assumption would be wrong.
People have predicted the crash for several years now. The largest price drops we have seen is in the high priced inner suburbs where speculation went rampart. Head out to the outer suburbs and there has been no drop in price.... no growth either, but no drop.
I predict price stagnation or slight falls over the next year - but no crash. Happy to quote this post next time such a graph appears.
This is complete nonsense. Australia does not have its own laws of economics.
"you can't just walk away from your mortgage, the banks come after you"
- in most states in the US you can't walk away either and the bank can sue you if the house sells for less than the mortgage. Even if you cannot walk away, what is the bank going to do if you declare bankruptcy or have no money to pay? Besides the banks just can't cope with too many walk aways and neither can the legal system. See US foreclosure mess.
"bank's average lending ratio is 80% of the house price, not over 100% as was the US"
- So what are the low doc mortgages? A few years ago you could easily get a 100% loan in Australia. That's when most bad loans were issued, not today. They just haven't exploded, yet.
"Australia has a housing shortage"
- There was a housing shortage in Florida and Las Vegas too. ABS statistics show that the number of dwellings per capita increased in the past decades.
"there are over 250,000 new immigrants entering every single year on average"
- When the economy tanks there will be 250,000 emigrants. See Ireland's story. Besides immigrants from China and India are happy to live 10 people in one house if they need to.
"Australia's population is 27% larger than it was in 1996"
- So is the housing supply.
The only difference between Australia and the US is that the bubble in Australia is much much bigger. And so will be the crash.
I have to contradict you my friend you are wrong on multiple fronts:
1) yes you can walk away from your mortgage in Australia (Sydney) I did it by declaring bankruptcy in Sydney;
2) Yes you can get 100%; I did it in 2007;
3) Some areas of Australia experience shortage, mostly NSW because of municipal corruption;
4) So what??? Every Western country has an 200 to 400,000 immigrants every year
5) Again so what???
Cloudwarrior, you may want to check:
(a)Australia's most recent immigration and emigration stats.
(b)The number of properties in the pipeline, particularly in Melbourne.
(c)The number of vacant bedrooms in Australia.
Repeating the silly spiels of the spruikers doesn't make it fact.
Low doc mortgages were never more than 8% of lending in Australia versus 25%+ in the US at the hight of the speculative bubble. Today in Australia they are zero percent of new lending. This development has had no impact on prices.
The fast flipping of properties that often characterises speculative bubbles is entirely absent from Australia because of the enormous stamp duties ($20 thousand per sale or more) required to transfer title. We are not to be congradulated on this as these are very inefficient taxes that happen in some circumstances to have a positive impact.
The main problem Australia has had with housing its people is their attachment to the single detached house on a quarter acre block of land. In the 90s the dimensions of these structures grew to a grotesque degree. These things are expensive to build and expensive to service. This must contribute to house prices in Australia compared to higher density places.
There seems, in Melbourne at least, to be trend towards higher density housing which I think will have a positive impact.
Finally it is not population per se that drives housing demand but household formation. As most immigrants to Australia are of an age to form households (20 -35 years) it seems likely that immigration is, at least in part, driving prices.
Shocking how posters like Cloudwarrior live in their own bubble. I hope you keep on investing in the Australian real estate market and soon shall the day come when you finally get cut off the internet as you can't pay your bills anymore.
Some food for your, weird, thoughts.
So, in Ireland adjustment is over, and in Spain it is almost over...Not so in Hong Kong, Australia, and above all in South Africa. Germany, which has not suffered from any mortgage bubble, is ready for expansion.
So, in Ireland adjustment is over, and in it is almost over....Not so in Hong Kong and Australia. Germany, which has not had any mortgage bubble, is ready for expansion.
It's funny that the graph of New Zealand house prices repeats the British one almost precisely. Funny, because one of the favourite mantras of Kiwi chattering classes is that this colony has nothing mutual with the mother country any more.
In the same time they play in happy comatose this British game of reselling to each other their ugly, small, uninsulated, uncomfortable and in any sense inferior Do It Yourself shacks on ever increasing, crazy prices.
Also some useful data on property prices can be found here
Canada and Vancouver is absolutely ridiculous. Salaries are lower than the rest of Canada and not even close to US wages yet the median home is over $1.1M. The inflow of capital from Mainland China due to liberal immigration policies has facilitated a system that wealthy Chinese are exploiting by sending their kids to school in Canada and gaining citizenship after buying property and finishing a degree. The rest of the family is then granted citizenship and the families slowly extract excess capital out of China into Canada and are then free to do what they want with it.
I am torn because I am glad Canada has these immigration policies and it is boosting our economy greatly however at the same time it is pushing Canadians out of the city centers and making the cost of living so expensive (especially in Vancouver) that household debt is just becoming a part of life.
Not much to complain about high housing prices as a results of the policy of attract capital and talents. At least as far as I can see, most Canadians are reduced to the state of monkeys as many home-owners have found themselves in the South.
The Canadian gov should have to rethink the policy. It's only causing inflation at ths point.
As a former Vancouverite, you should not be torn. The net benefit for the city is indisputable, the cash inflows have been tremendous since 1997, and while they may have priced out some potential home owners, those with cash-in-hand enriched the city both economically and culturally.
If you want higher income prospects and a lower cost of living move to Calgary, but don't expect others to snub foreign cash inflows due to your wavering indecision. Similar criticism arose from multi-generational residents when Chinese/Hong Kong emigrant children began pushing up university acceptance GPAs through their hard work.
If you substitute Canada with Australia, the same applies. It is a boon for the property and education sectors and for government revenue, but has disastrous affects on the average individual or family which has to pay exorbitant rents or mortgages. In other words, the negatives far outweigh the positives. The property markets need to be regulated to stop this profiteering off the backs of ordinary citizens.
The above figures offer a snapshot of house price performances, inflation-adjusted, across a variety of countries in the world. While there are some exceptions to the rule, it appears as though the rate of slowdown is increasing in the vast majority of countries and 2009 could well be a very difficult year for many of those in question.
Will countries like spain be able to bring its prices down, or will we see a massive blip in the prices like in 2009?

Here it is; my roommate and I just threw it together in GIMP with the emblem discussed elsewhere. It's a blatant rip-off of the Westmalle label aesthetic. Suggestions?
Clean, simple... I like it!
One further revision - it's small, but I think it's better. Fixed the accent, and lowered the "Greenwall".
Looks good.
Did you attempt anything with a border around the logo?
I like the direction, but would like to see the emblem enlarged a bit, maybe 20-30% bigger. I don't think it will take away from the simplicity but will ensure crisper lines in the emblem when printed on label paper. Looks great though.
Oh man - my roommate and I got too excited by the prospect of labelling and went ahead and ran off a couple dozen like this, before we saw your advice. Gearbeer- tried, but it wasn't looking even. I'll try again from the large-size emblem pic. Might not stick with it though.
Febtober - good advice, I'll try it with the above suggestion and see if it improves.
Here's a pic of the first run of labels. We still have to label the second half of the batch (half that I tried to Brett) for which I might make a neck-label designating it 'Special Reserve' or some such subtitle to distinguish it from the 'clean' half.
I'll incorporate your suggestions and post back. Even if they don't make it onto this batch, I plan on using this as a label template for any other Belgian-style beers I make, varying the text (obviously) and colour scheme.
Here - is this more what you had in mind?
magnifico! In the future you may want to consider starting with colored paper so you save a bit of ink. Of course, then you'd have to experiment to get that green to come out right, and the white would then be blue, too...meh, nevermind, that probably wouldn't work too well. Stick with what you've got there!
I love those fat little Piraat/Grimbergen bottles!

More reviews by mizzcremedelacreme
So I bought this product when I was very new to make up. Like I literally had to ask my friend how to apply liquid foundation and powder and everything lol Two years later I have learned so much and have also learned about the awesomeness of many other products which leads me to conclude that this product was a total fail. The color matched me nicely, it had an ok consistency, and the packaging with the little brush inside is cool but this concealer has no staying power. It wears off fairly quickly. I have acne scars so I need my concealer not do that lol It was a good product for me to use starting out using make up but now that I know there is much better out there I will def. find something else!
I have c6-7-8. It's ok. I use to cover undereye circles. It's not really my color. It's too light, but I make it work. Kind of gives a brightening effect.
It's a good under eye concealer, but it doesn't cover acne very well. I would buy it again though as I don't have much to cover up.
Just like the foundation, this goes on sheer and couldn't conceal to save its life! If you are looking for full coverage, forget about this product and it's foundation as well. It streaks and building it up will have you looking VERY CAKEY and it creases almost instantly even with a setting powder.

I had to replace my Maybeline mineral powder concealer since it was discontinued and after much searching I settled on this one and I'm very happy with my choice. It's very smooth and blendable, offers great natural coverage and is very affordable. I love it and hope they never discontinue it!
I really dislike this concealer from the packaging to the formula. The attached brush picks up way to much product and for some reason this concealer seems to leak all over the place, even when tightly closed. The formula is very liquidity and sheer. Trying to build it up for extra coverage, it becomes cakey and obvious that you trying to hide something. It also creases like no ones business, even set with powder.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this concealer has great coverage, and it's nice to finally find a drugstore concealer that's not too yellow (C-1). the formula is great. a little bit goes a long way and lasts all day. my one complaint is with the packaging - it's terrible! i have to wipe the threads to collect lost product and put it back in the tube - if i forget to, it oozes out of the crack when i close the lid. very messy, not to mention wasteful. however, that inconvenience isn't enough to stop me from repurchasing it - the concealer itself does a great job.
Im very particular on my concealers because i have MAIJOR acne scarring and i mean ALOTT its terrible. But i feel this didnt do the trick. It glided off my face throughout the day and seemed to crease quite a bit and also made my face look cakey. Ill through it in my makeup bag for school if i ever need touchups but nothing other than that.
I have this product in warm light medium, or W4-5. I originally bought it in neutral light medium, but it was way too dark for me. I don't have warm skin, but it's a pretty close match so I let it slide. Of all the concealers I've tried, this might be one of my favorites, but I've yet to find a concealer that really wows me, anyway. This concealer has a really natural skin-like finish, which I like because I don't wear foundation. It's not overly shiny or matte, just somewhere in the middle. The coverage is light to medium, and I could probably build it up if the undertone weren't so orange. I find that the coverage is better if I let it sit on my skin a little before blending it in. I only really use this under my eyes because I don't get many break outs, and if I do I'd rather let them breathe. It doesn't crease at all, which is nice. However, I find that it just mysteriously disappears sometime during the day. Unlike other 'disappearing' concealers, it doesn't look any worse than I started out, which is nice, but I'd rather it last all day. I do set it with a powder and have tried many different techniques, including using eye primer under it, but nothing seems to work. Also, the packaging really irks me because while it looks good at first, the product has a tendency to kind of 'squelch' out of the sides... it's hard to explain, but closing the cap basically makes a mess. However, I do like the brush-like applicator instead of the doe foot. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this. I wish I could love it, but I'm too low maintenance to want to think about reapplying my makeup.
Overall: When I first bought the cohesive foundation of this concealer, I THOUGHT I was in love. So I thought, hey let's try this product out. I got the same first impression that I loved it. In all honesty, it's alright. Not the best, but not the worst.
I use this concealer more than the actual foundation. I find that it isn't as slimy but definitely goopier in consistency. I have pretty bad dark circles for a teenager and this doesn't cover them flawlessly like I would like. Really in short, it's performance is alright.
Packaging: Not impressed with how the product just drowns the applicator. It can get extremely messy and irritating.
Price: $8.95? Are you serious? For this product, it should really be $5. That's more realistic.
Repurchase? Heck to the NO.

Good location in a small town. Close to the castle... Everything is walkable. Great handmade soba restaurant by the 7-11... Recommended by the front desk. Very attentive and knowledgable in English as well. Great stay. They stored our packs bc we got there too early. Early checkout was easy as well. Would stay here again.
It rained a lot! But that's not the hotels fault. They even have umbrellas u can borrow!

Feeling likes home
The doorway is too small
Good breakfast. Excellent value for money. Good location
Good location, not far from JR station and Matsumoto castel. Room nice and clean with 'a view' ;-)
Breakfast is rather poor, something between japanese and european but This combination is risky ;)
Very nice and interesting breakfast, Japanese style. Especially miso-soup. A lot of vegetables. "Western-style" breakfast to be avoided, too much fat in "western" dishes. Computer with access to internet and e-mails available for free in the lobby.
Right close to the train station, yummy breakfast buffet, god wifi in room connection, clean.
Small bed...
Handy to station and town and castle Very helpful, friendly staff Great to have laundry facilities
Hotel is very tired and basic Breakfast was crowded and there was very little choice and supply.

Friendly and helpful staff. Happy to find that some even spoke English. Hotel is a good price and location. Like the free bike's for customers.
Bed is a little hard and low to the floor.
Very friendly & helpful staff. Room was comfortable and location very convenient to railway station & Castle. Breakfast was decent.

Staff lovely, free bikes, location superb, near the old picturesque pary of town and a short walk to the station.
Good location - midway between the station and the sites
Check out time is only till 10am
The room is so large
I got sick most of my short stay... staff from the hotel provided me some medicines all FOR FREE... What else can I say? They were just adorable. Very good location, in between the train station and the town center, also about 10-12 mins on foot to the castle.
All was okay.Even the room (double bedroom) was bigger than what's expected in many places in Japan.
hotel location is good.
breakfast is not variety.
Nearby to train station. Clean comfortable room. Good breakfast. Beautiful view of the castle from the bedroom window in the night. Very quiet and peaceful.
Overall everything is o.k.
Our family walked from the station with our luggage in 5 minutes and stayed in a traditional Japanese room (futons on tatami) with 4 beds. We had a view over the canal which took in Matsumoto Castle and the alps. Included breakfast was great.
Bathroom was quite small but not impossible to use.
Good location

Ok, so there's this two year old, and he LOVES balls of any kind. Baseballs, basketballs, footballs – it really doesn't matter. If it's in ball form and within a 20 feet radius, Adrian is going to find that ball. Having a little girl who is neither into balls or dolls, this totally amused me throughout our session. He is such a lovable and happy little kid – I'm so pleased that these images show exactly why. You guys are great!
