Ziggi Ivan Santini's curator insight,
January 30, 5:50 AM
"Today the cost of alcohol misuse in the UK is around £30 billion per year —about £1000 per tax-payer. Estimates that have modelled the value of minimum pricing suggest that a 50p unit price would lead to at least a 10 per cent reduction in consumption!"
Laura Lee Smith's comment,

I think that police dogs perform vital functions, and anything we can do to protect them is well worth the trouble. My neighbor owns a Malinois and he is clearly unhappy at being an apartment dog, he has that amazing energy, This article highlighted for me the danger these dogs and their handlers face, I know there has been a push to get bullet proof vests for the dogs, I wonder what the barrier to that is?
Laura Lee Smith's comment,

I agree there has been much good done by police, however there has also been evil perpetrated under the auspice of police authority and those who want this monument destroyed are probably those affected by those actions. I agree it should be saved, but I can understand the reasoning behind wanting to say "out with the old, in with the new" as it were. Sometimes tangible reminders of difficult situations make it harder for people to move forward.

If a hobby/mountain bike video is good, I'll run it for free on my mms server, as long as the owner
doesn't mind it getting watched on www.windowsmedia.com with its attendant audience of over 15
million viewers per month. I have multiple T3 bandwidth on my mms server, so don't worry too much
about this aspect.

Like all purveyors of great barbecue, Hoss Orwat is a renaissance man, a fine storyteller and a little bit goofy in the head. I've never known a good pit man who didn't come to barbecue sideways — who didn't sneak up on it or stumble into it or (in the case of the generational genius) flee from it before coming back like a chastened lover caught hound-dogging. I've known smokers who were once bankers or computer programmers or rich layabouts. I've known guys who've done barbecue illegally because, when given a choice between ribs and John Law, the ribs are gonna win every time. And I've known classically trained chefs who've thrown it all away on a couple of box smokers and the tinny smell of pork blood — because even amid cooks, the great pit men are a class apart, outlaws among outlaws.
And Hoss is one of them. We talked twice last week, and we talked for a long time — the conversation looping and referential, full of backtracks and weird asides. Hoss is full of strange enthusiasms and digressions and bluster, and when he talks about food he's talking about history and culture, too. He can make those links between grub and jazz, between pork shoulder and economics. And he's acquainted with James Carville, the Democratic strategist turned political analyst who knows a thing or two about good eats.
Like me, Hoss was born and raised in Upstate New York. When I left, it was to learn about Mexican and Cuban food and to get the hell away from the snow. When Hoss left, it was to get a master's degree in history focusing on Southern culture and politics. "I was good, you know?" he said. "Me and one of my professors would sit around eating hush puppies and talking about Faulkner." Hush puppies and drinks, sometimes. Sometimes drinks and a little bit of barbecue. When Hoss was working on his thesis, he'd pull into some town to research what had happened there politically — and inevitably, he'd end up eating barbecue with the mayor and getting saucy fingerprints all over his books. It was the best kind of education, because in great joints across the country, politics and food have always been interlinked — one humping the leg of the other. If you want to be in politics up north, you're going to spend a lot of time pressing the flesh and getting yelled at in diners. You want to do the same thing down south, you'd better love you some barbecue.

Once Hoss finished his degree, he took his sheepskin on the road with the Democratic National Committee. "I was just a hack," he said, selling himself a little short. What he was was a serious hack — a speechwriter for local, state and national races and one of the foot soldiers in the Clinton/Gore campaign. Which is how we got to talking about Carville and his 1996 book We're Right, They're Wrong, which, in addition to being an excellent read and a good source of (somewhat dated) material with which to taunt and pummel Republicans, also contains a wicked recipe for backyard-picnic potato salad and musings about politicians and food.
"One of my wife's friends was going to have a huge barbecue for the Fourth of July," Carville writes. "Sure, it was going to be a chest-thumping, live-free-or-die kind of Republican affair, but I have to admit it sounded great...[because] based on prior experience, I knew the food was going to be first rate. I will admit it: Republican gatherings always have better food than Democratic ones. Only good thing about a Republican party is the food."
After a few years of speechwriting and spinning, Hoss was fed up with politics. "I didn't have the stomach for it," he said, so he did the next logical thing: He wrote a novel. And then he did what many would-be writers end up doing: He tended bar. By now he was living in Colorado, working at the Sports Page in Louisville, where he did barbecue two nights a week. Then he drifted to New Castle, where he lived in a camper-top next to a bowling alley and cooked more barbecue. "It's like Charlie Parker said," Hoss explained. "You have all these things, all this life, all these troubles, and it all comes out of your horn. Well, it's the same thing with everything, whatever you're passionate about."
Actually, what Parker said was, "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn," but I understood what Hoss was getting at. He'd done a lot, seen a lot, experienced a lot. And now, what was coming out of his horn was barbecue — America's greatest cuisine and best expression of her collective soul.
Hoss's various travels have influenced his barbecue — he talked about the Lexington pit in his kitchen, the delicious heresy of closed-pit-smoking his Texas brisket, how economics and the historic movement of Carolina pig farmers created my favorite barbecue style, Carolina tidewater, practiced in maybe a dozen towns sitting right on the sand — but ultimately, his barbecue is his own. He opened a restaurant in Boulder and closed it. Opened another in Snowmass, then sold it. Finally, on December 11, 2006, he opened Big Hoss Bar-B-Q on Tennyson Street thinking that this was it: the culmination.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lady!
Facts about Lady
- Breed: Australian Shepherd/Collie Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Lady's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lady is a 5 year old Collie mix that was surrendered at a rural animal shelter when the elderly couple keeping her could no longer care for her. She has been in an HHS foster home for several weeks and has been a joy. Lady is a sweet and friendly girl, very calm and just a little shy - but she warms up very quickly. She has very nice house manners and is house-trained. Lady is great with other dogs and fantastic with cats! It's easy to see how she got her name because she is a real LADY! If you are interested in meeting Lady, please complete an application at www.henricohumane.org
Other Pets at Henrico Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lady, a Richmond Australian Shepherd/Collie dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd/Collie for sale in Richmond, or seeking a Australian Shepherd/Collie dog from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd/Collie breeders who help with Australian Shepherd/Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

Please see the Services Offered section of our website for a complete list of available services for residents in Santa Cruz County.
Recyclable materials collected in unincorporated Santa Cruz County are brought to the GreenWaste Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in San Jose for processing. Recyclable materials are sorted on the single-stream recyclables processing line at the MRF where they are separated by material type, baled and shipped to market to be given new life as a recycled product. All yard trimmings are delivered to the Buena Vista Landfill in Watsonville where they are screened for processing: the woody debris is chipped and used as a co-generation fuel and the lightweight fraction is composted and used as a high-quality soil amendment. All garbage collected in the northern part of unincorporated Santa Cruz County is first delivered to the Ben Lomond Transfer Station for consolidation before being transported to the Buena Vista Landfill for disposal; all garbage collected in the remainder of unincorporated Santa Cruz County is direct-hauled to the Buena Vista Landfill for disposal. All the non-recyclable residuals remaining after processing at the GreenWaste MRF and the non-compostable materials remaining after composting are also sent to a landfill for disposal.

Two Teenage Boys Saved A Kidnapped Woman Because They Were Checking Her Out On The Highway
Important lesson: If someone is mouthing "help me" at you from another car, it's a good idea to call 911.
1. Aaron Arias and Jamal Harris were driving down Highway 175 in Texas when they noticed an attractive woman in another vehicle. To their surprise, she began mouthing the words "help me."
2. Realizing there was something wrong about that, Aaron and Jamal dialed 911 and stayed on the line, following the vehicle for miles, until police could arrive.
3. Aaron Arias, the 19-year-old who called 911, described the scene to a 911 operator:
"Yes, I'm on the highway. I'm witnessing a robbery. Not a robbery, a kidnapping… It's me and another guy. So we're checking out the girl in the backseat because we're like, 'OK, she's kind of attractive', and then all of a sudden the guy is turned back, looking at us…
We looked in the backseat and the blond female in the back was saying, 'Help me,' or something, whispering it. So I'm assuming it is a kidnapping."

He has received two Olivier Award nominations, winning Best Actor in a Play for Frankenstein, and has also received four BAFTA nominations, three Emmy Award nominations, winning Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie for Sherlock, two SAG Award nominations and a Golden Globe nomination among others. In 2013, he was honoured by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts with a Britannia Award for British Artist of the Year for his "masterful performances in television, film and theatre." In 2014, Time magazine included him in its annual Time 100 as one of the "Most Influential People in the World".
Cumberbatch was born on 19 July 1976 at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in Hammersmith, London, to actors Timothy Carlton (real name Timothy Carlton Congdon Cumberbatch)[2] and Wanda Ventham.[3] He grew up in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. His great-grandfather, Henry Arnold Cumberbatch CMG, was the consul general of Queen Victoria in Turkey. His grandfather, Henry Carlton Cumberbatch, was a decorated submarine officer of both World Wars, and a prominent figure of London high society.[4]
Cumberbatch attended boarding schools from the age of eight.[5] He was educated at Brambletye School in West Sussex and was an arts scholar at Harrow School.[6][7][8] He was a member of The Rattigan Society, Harrow's principal club for the dramatic arts which was named after Old Harrovian and playwright Sir Terence Rattigan.[9] He was involved in numerous Shakespearean works at school and made his acting debut as Titania, Queen of the Fairies, in A Midsummer Night's Dream when he was 12.[10] Cumberbatch's drama teacher, Martin Tyrell, called him "the best schoolboy actor" he had ever worked with.[11] He was also part of the rugby team, and painted oil canvasses while at Harrow.[11][12]
After leaving Harrow, he took a gap year to volunteer as an English teacher at a Tibetan monastery in Darjeeling, India.[13] He then attended the University of Manchester, where he studied Drama.[14] He continued his training as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art graduating with an MA in Classical Acting.[15]
Since 2001, Cumberbatch has had major roles in a dozen classic plays at the Regent's Park Open Air, Almeida, Royal Court and Royal National Theatres. He was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role for his performance as George Tesman in Hedda Gabler, a role he performed at the Almeida Theatre on 16 March 2005, as well as at the Duke of York's Theatre when it transferred to the West End on 19 May 2005.[16] This transfer marked his first West End appearance.[17]
In June 2010, he led the revival of Terence Rattigan's After the Dance directed by Thea Sharrock at the Royal National Theatre.[18] He played 1920s aristocrat David Scott-Fowler to commercial and critical success.[19] The play eventually won four Olivier Awards including Best Revival.[20]
Cumberbatch acted in Danny Boyle's The Children's Monologues, a theatrical charity event at London's Old Vic Theatre on 14 November 2010. The show was produced by Dramatic Need.[21]
In February 2011, he began playing, on alternate nights, both Victor Frankenstein and his creature, opposite Jonny Lee Miller, in Danny Boyle's stage production of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at the Royal National Theatre.[22][23] Frankenstein was broadcast to cinemas as a part of National Theatre Live in March 2011.[24] Cumberbatch achieved the "Triple Crown of London Theatre" in 2011 when he received the Olivier Award, Evening Standard Award and Critics' Circle Theatre Award for his performance in Frankenstein.[25]
Cumberbatch was a part of a cast featuring members of the Royal National Theatre Company in 50 Years on Stage, the Royal National Theatre's landmark event for its 50th anniversary on 2 November 2013. He played Rosencrantz in a selected scene from Tom Stoppard's play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead which was first performed at the National Theatre in 1967.[26] The show was directed by Sir Nicholas Hytner and was broadcast on BBC Two and in cinemas worldwide as a part of National Theatre Live.
He is set to return to theatre to play Shakespeare's Hamlet at London's Barbican Theatre. The production will be directed by Lyndsey Turner and will be produced by Sonia Friedman. It will start its 12-week run in August 2015.[27][28]
Cumberbatch's earliest television roles include two separate guest roles in Heartbeat (2000, 2004), Freddy in Tipping the Velvet (2002), Edward Hand in Cambridge Spies (2003) and Rory in the ITV comedy drama series Fortysomething (2003). He also featured in Spooks and Silent Witness. In 2004, he landed his first main part in television as Stephen Hawking in Hawking. He was nominated for the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actor and won the Golden Nymph for Television Films – Best Performance by an Actor. He later provided Hawking's voice in the first episode of the television series Curiosity. He appeared in the BBC miniseries Dunkirk as Lieutenant Jimmy Langley.
In 2005, Cumberbatch portrayed protagonist Edmund Talbot in the miniseries To the Ends of the Earth, based on William Golding's trilogy; during filming he experienced a terrifying carjacking in South Africa, managing to escape.[29] He made brief appearances in the comedy sketch show Broken News in 2005. He next featured alongside Tom Hardy in the television adaptation of Stuart: A Life Backwards, which aired on the BBC in September 2007.
In 2008, he played the lead character in the BBC miniseries drama The Last Enemy, for which he was nominated for a Satellite Award for Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Film. In 2009, he appeared in Marple: Murder Is Easy as Luke Fitzwilliam.

The Clinton County Health Department is hosting a pair of Certified Tobacco Sales Training sessions in February.
The sessions are designed to help employees of businesses that sell tobacco products understand the laws pertaining to the illegal sale of tobacco to minors.
"In 2012, the state rate (for sale of tobacco products to minors) was at 5 percent," said Susan Thew, senior public-health sanitarian for the Health Department. "Our county rate was 8 percent (of the number of businesses that sell tobacco products). We'd like to bring that number down."
Clerks who attend the training will learn about the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act and why they should never sell products to anyone underage.
The training will also reduce any fines and protect stores from losing their tobacco licenses for repeat offenses.
"A (tobacco-sales) license will be suspended for six months when a business receives three or more points (in penalties for selling to minors)," said Jason Redmond, a public-health technician who oversees teenage-sales checks across the county.
"If an illegal tobacco sale is made by a clerk who has successfully completed this training, the store will only receive half of the (penalty) points normally levied."
The Health Department conducts annual youth-compliance checks at more than 100 county businesses that sell tobacco products.
Redmond or another adult employee at the Health Department works with teenage shoppers who attempt to purchase a tobacco product without proper identification. The teenager, who is also an employee of the Health Department, does not carry ID but cannot lie about his or her age.
"They don't try to look older or dress older," Redmond said. "It's a completely sanitized process."
If the store sells a product illegally to the shopper, the teenager will return to the store with the adult employee with a citation for the illegal sale.
In 2012, eight businesses illegally sold products to those Health Department shoppers. Five of those citations were for first offenses, so the store in question did not lose its tobacco license.
The other three businesses are appealing the decision and will go before an administrative hearing soon to decide their cases.
The upcoming workshops, which will be held at the County Health Department on Feb. 27, are open to all clerks, supervisors and staff who sell tobacco products. There is a $20 registration fee per person.
Clinton County Health Department staff members have received specialized training to hold the sessions.
This year's presentation will also focus on new laws pertaining to the use of shisha, herbal cigarettes and electronic cigarettes, which are prohibited by law for people 18 and under.
The Health Department also conducts adult-compliance checks with annual visits to retail outlets to ensure the stores are in line with the law.
"We are doing whatever we can to minimize sales to minors," said John Kanoza, director of the Environmental Division. "We're hoping that our efforts can make a big difference (in reducing sales to minors)."
For Sue Lintner Kinne, co-owner of Cadyville Gulf with husband, Dan Kinne, adhering to the tobacco-sales laws is just a matter of principle.
"I am very strict with my employees about checking proof of age if there is any question at all," she said during a recent adult-compliance check at the popular business. "If the customer isn't happy (with being asked for ID), then they can go somewhere else."
Lintner Kinne and several of her employees have attended the Health Department sessions, and she said the education was very useful in helping her store stay in compliance.
"It's been six years (since she and her husband took ownership of the store), and my staff have been very supportive throughout," she said.
Certificates earned during the course are good for each clerk who attends and not for the entire facility. Certification is good for three years.
Email Jeff Meyers: firstname.lastname@example.com
- The Clinton County Health Department's Certified Tobacco Sales Training workshops will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, at the Old Court House Meeting Room, 133 Margaret St., Plattsburgh.
- The cost is $20 per person, payable to the Clinton County Treasurer. Pre-registration is required. For more information, contact the Health Department at 565-4870.

JAIPUR: Noisy scenes were witnessed when depot manager of Sindhi camp bus stand and 30 others barged into a hotel near the bus stand to get it vacated. The manager, claiming the lease period of the hotel was over, ransacked the place for almost an hour and some property was also damaged.
The incident took place at Sai Royal hotel where the chief depot manager Narendra Chaudhary along with 30 others barged and started damaging the property including televisions, refrigerators, etc. The armed men of the Rajasthan State Roadways Transport Corporation (RSRTC) also damaged cameras of two photographers of vernacular dailies.
Soon after heavy police force reached the bus stand and tried to restore order.
Circle inspector, Sindhi Camp, Bhanwar Randhir Singh, said, "The hotel owner claims that he had taken the hotel from RSRTC on lease for a period of five years and the contract said it would be renewed every year on April 1. This time when it was not renewed he approached a local court and the court directed RSRTC authorities to renew the contract. Later, the RSRTC went to court challenging the order of a lower court and the sessions court, giving judgment in their favour, said since the hotel was on RSRTC land they had the right to extend the lease or not."
"On Friday, the RSRTC authorities sent a notice to the hotel to vacate within 24 hours and on Saturday a team of officers including the said chief depot manager went to the hotel to get it vacated," Singh added.
However, the hotel owner terming it illegal said his contract clearly mentioned that the RSRTC authorities will have to bear the cost of his construction and will have to give a notice 90 days in advance before vacating.
"Based on allegations and counter allegations, we have lodged separate FIRs against the hotel owner Narendra Sindhi and the chief depot manger Narendra Chaudhary under various sections of IPC including assault," he added.

People who become recently unemployed can usually file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I have written previously that people who technically fail the bankruptcy means test may still be permitted to file bankruptcy if unemployed under "special circumstances" provision of the means test law. The length of the debtor's unemployment prior to filing can make a big difference.I spoke to a prospective bankruptcy debtor who had been making $8,000 per month in a two-person household. She could not pass the means test at that salary level. Assume the debtor lost his job six months ago. In that case the debtor could file bankruptcy whatever his prior salary because the means test only looks back six months. If that debtor found a new job prior to filing where the debtor made $8,000 or even more money the debtor could still file Chapter 7 because he likely would not have made enough money from the new job, whatever the salary, to raise his six month's income above median income.
Suppose, on the other hand, the debtor became unemployed just one or two months ago. At $8,000 per month his salary during just four of the six months prior to bankruptcy would still be too much to pass the means test. However, his current unemployment may constitute a special circumstance to permit filing because he would be without prospective income. In this situation, a new job prior to filing bankruptcy would probably prevent a chapter 7 bankruptcy because he would not have unemployment as a special circumstance.
The high income debtor with six months unemployment can search for a new job immediately without jeopardizing chapter 7 eligibility, whereas the more recently unemployed high income debtor cannot accept employment at least until after he has filed his petition. I would advise the recently unemployed debtor to wait until after his trustee meeting for new employment. Even though a new started after the filing a trustee could seek to challenge the bankruptcy as abusive if the trustee hears that the debtor is again making a relatively high income.

When Chevrolet first announced there would be a special Premiere Edition of the Corvette Stingray Coupe back in June 2013, no one was certain whether or not they would also be offering the special limited edition Stingray as a Convertible. But that didn't stop interested parties from contacting dealers and saying "I want it". Sure enough, once the Stingray Convertibles started production, Chevrolet announced that 550 Convertible Premiere Editions in Lime Rock Green would be produced.
Criswell Corvette's Mike Furman got that call from Bob D. in Annapolis, MD about putting a deposit down on a Stingray Convertible Premiere Edition just after the Coupe was announced and this week he was able to take the Lime Rock Green Corvette Stingray home.

I love this product! I needed some time to get used to it tho. In the beginning I was a bit disappointed but now I cant imagine putting mascara on without this primer. It gives my lashes volume and I find it easier to remove my eye make up if I have this on. I also have the Clis Booster, but I dont like it as much.

It is a good producto, and it does make my eyelashes loongerr, than regular, but it is more expensive than it should be ($42 dls) is a lot for just a primer.
I believe you can get the same results, with a regular primer as well.

Love this product. I used to use the Cils Booster, but much prefer the Oscillation version. It separates my lashes perfectly prior to applying mascara. I have been using it for over a year now and replace it everytime it runs out.
The mascara applies beautifully over it. It helps the mascara stay in place without smudging or smearing. When the SA first sold me the Cils Booster, she said - do one with and one eye without. She guaranteed me that I would see the difference. She was right. The Oscillating version is the Cils Booster, but better. The key is to apply it with a light hand. If you press too hard, you will ruin the effect.

Wow! Lancome is my favorite company for skincare...and, I am quite fond of their mascara. But...and a huge but...this is one gimmicky product that I should have just not spent the money on. Actually, a nostalgic moment made the purchase. Some years back, Bourjois had a product that had a mascara at one end and a white lash primer/conditioner on the other end. It was beyond awesome.
This product from Lancome doesn't come even close. I get it. I get the gimmick of the vibrating wand--however, it is a waste of batteries, because the wand really doesn't do anything except appear as though it's vibrating. The product itself--well, I have not seen any difference in my lashes. (Granted I use Careprost, but I still use mascara and other product). I thought perhaps the product would contain fibers to lengthen, but no. I also question why anyone would need primer on their lashes...Mascara stays on all day anyway--what's to prime?
Gotta say, Lancome bombed big-time on this one.
For overall rating I did not give this a one because it really isn't the worst product on the market, but it is lightyears away from the best.
Price: 4 because it falls short of being extremely expensive.
Packaging: 2 because the gimmicky vibrating wand is just ...well..a gimmick!
I absolutely would not repurchase.
Thank you for reading and I recommend your money would be better spent on a different product!

I have to agree with the low ratings for this product. No matter how lightly I apply it, even to the extent of wiping excess product off the brush before use (resulting in total waste, of course), it clumps horribly. Their mascara is so great; it's a shame they didn't do a better job with this product. And the price - ooh la la!

Wow, did I get sucked in with this one (hangs head in shame). I am not a fan of mascara primers/bases as a general rule the only one I ever used, albeit briefly, was the one time I tried LOreal Beauty Tubes mascara. But, I needed more oomph, and after hearing one of my best friends rave on for years about Lancome mascara and base, I thought I would splurge and buy myself this base as well as Hypnose mascara, despite my aversion to HE mascaras.
Both were a massive let down, and a waste of over $100AUD.
This primer, in the most blunt way I can possibly say it, made my eyelashes look absolutely crap. I applied a fine layer, quickly combed it through with my Tweezerman lash comb, and then applied my mascara. Yeah, there was a little more length and volume, but everything looked extra clumpy. I tweaked my technique a little tried different ways, and different mascaras. It even made my trusted go to no clump mascaras look clumpy.
The other thing that really bugged me, was having to hold down the little button to keep the vibration going.
$50AUD down the drain. Have put mine up for swap.

This is horrible! I got it as a freebie awhile back and only got to writing a review now, but I am so glad I didn't pay for it.
It doesn't really add any extra volume/length to my mascara, or at least not more that adding one or two extra coats would. But what's worse is it made my eyelashes clump like crazy. It didn't matter what mascara I used; I even tried a Lancome mascara, and it still made my lashes look worse than without the primer.
Definitely wouldn't purchase with my own money.

This primer does indeed work. The first time I tried this out, I had one eye with this primer on and the other without and put exactly two coats of mascara on each eye. Even my usually clueless bf noticed the extra length and volume to the eye with the powerbooster. It does the job promised (It better work for the money I paid lol) I rate it three stars however because for one, it tend to clump the mascara up and so it's hard to achieve that clean, separated look that I am such a fan of. The other thing is, I think that the oscillation wand is pure gimmick. I have tried many times using the primer with and without oscillation and zip zagging your mascara to the base and up has the same exact effect as oscillating the wand. Would I repurchase? Nope. For the price I was expecting the perfect mascara primer and this just doesn't give me that clean, pumped up look I want. Practically any decent mascara base at half the price will achieve the same look.

PhilaU's MS in Disaster Medicine and Management program, delivered as a partnership between Philadelphia University and the Department of Emergency Medicine of the Albert Einstein Health Network, was developed to prepare individuals with the knowledge and expertise to manage and develop the increasingly complex disaster management and preparedness requirements of the 21st century.
In addition to PhilaU's MS degree, we offer two certificate programs, one in Disaster Medicine and Management and the other in Business Continuity.
Recent events have focused the world's attention on the prevalence of both natural and manmade disasters. These events include biological and chemical terrorism, war, tsunamis, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, volcanoes, hazardous materials and major power grid disruptions.
The effects of all of these disasters on people, animals, the environment, physical structures and our public infrastructure have been immense. This increased attention to our public safety, emergency medical services (EMS), Emergency Management, and public health systems has created a need for individuals skilled to manage and prepare for new potential disasters. PhilaU's distinctive curriculum fully prepares students to become leaders in all areas of disaster and emergency management.

84 Mr S. M. Bruce, High Commissioner in London, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister
Cablegram 152 LONDON, 29 February 1940
Your telegram of 21st February. [1] Appreciate and Sympathize with your feelings. Root cause of difficulties and delays in getting finality is the absence of really effective War Cabinet dealing with questions of policy and ensuring co-ordination of departments. Wool is example of this lack. Realize the political difficulties for you which have resulted. Feel however that position must be carefully handled if even more serious political difficulties are to be avoided.
To make clear what I have in mind necessary to analyse the position at some length.
If satisfactory solution to be found there must be:
(a) Clear understanding as to quantities available for neutrals;
(b) Agreement as to a price for such sales which will obviate dangers set out in paragraph 2 of your telegram of 21st February;
(c) Elimination of unreasonable interference with such sales on the grounds of economic warfare or trade treaty negotiations.
With regard to (c) my telegram of 17th February [2] gave full information re Japan. Am hopeful that it will be possible in future as a result of discussions in the United States to enter arrangements with Japan for supplies reasonable both as to quantity and period, and that the Ministry of Economic Warfare will be as helpful as the circumstances permit in regard to other neutrals.
Information Clunies Ross [3] has as to position of pending trade treaties shows necessity to withhold wool supplies pending finalization likely in most cases to crystallize shortly.
With regard to (a) as a result of representations, see paragraph 2 of my telegram of 6th February [4], repeated and amplified after receipt of your telegram of 6th February [5], whole question of supplies for the Allies and neutrals was under examination and I was becoming increasingly hopeful that the whole position would be placed on satisfactory basis with elimination of control or interference by Bradford. This view has been strengthened by long discussion with Burgin [6] following receipt of your telegram of 21st February.
With regard to (b) situation similar to (a) save that I was less hopeful of satisfactory arrangement until discussion with Burgin referred to above.
Position here therefore is that after intolerable delays and many difficulties we look like arriving at reasonably satisfactory basis on major questions of supplies, price, economic warfare, trade treaties and elimination of Bradford.
In the circumstances do not think either cable to Chamberlain [7] or visit of Minister would help.
With regard to your specific points:-
(1) I emphasized to Burgin that opinion of those competent to judge is that difference between price paid to Australia and price at which wool being released is excessive. This he denied and maintained that increase only sufficient to cover expenses and small margin for contingencies. If this contention correct price not more than 25 percent additional to our sale price would mean a release price involving a loss to the United Kingdom and if we press this percentage we will be met by counter pressure to reduce our contract sale price and share the loss.
As any suggestion of reducing amount receivable by producers in Australia would have serious political repercussions I refrained from pressing Burgin for details of how difference between purchase and release price made up and did not put forward your proposal for maximum increase of 25 percent.
(2) As provision for annual review was designed to safeguard Australian interests in rising market, I feel a discussion of price would, under existing circumstances, be embarrassing to us.
(3) Am doubtful of the wisdom of raising this point until major questions are cleared up. [8]
