Candidates for three available seats on Wauseon City Council include the city's former finance director, a retired city employee, a businessman, two incumbents and a former member of council.
G. Michael Christman
A 1972 graduate of Hicksville High School and Four County Vocational School, Christman, 59, attended the University of Toledo College of Engineering, with a minor in economics. He is married to Peggy Christman.
Why are you running for office? I was approached by several citizens who asked me to consider running for City Council. Realizing that these people believed I could be an asset to the city government, I decided to join the race. Wauseon has been a good home to me for more than 40 years, and I would like to help make it a better home for all of us.
Why should people vote for you? I have been a successful business owner in Wauseon for years, establishing Guardian Engineering in 1982 and incorporating in 1996. Guardian has succeeded because of solid business decisions. I would take that same business approach to decision making as a Wauseon Council member.
What are your two main goals if elected? I strongly believe that Wauseon Council has to more aggressively solve the city pool situation. The New Pool 4 Wauseon Committee has done a commendable job up to this point in raising funds, but their effort has been hampered with the location questions. Although City Council has voted to locate the pool in Biddle Park, the voting was closed and divided. I believe that decision needs to be reversed, and the pool should be centrally located in Reighard Park. The pool facilities should not be too elaborate, which would drive up the cost and delay the project even further. Citizens who believe in this project have generously contributed to New Pool 4 Wauseon but the project is too big and important for private donations only. Wauseon Council has to take the lead financially and drive the project. We have gone five full seasons without having a pool, which is pretty sad for a city our size.
Secondly, I would like to see Wauseon do a better job in decorating the city for the Christmas season. Many of us have good memories of the past years, and feel that our decorations just are not the same. Although the small trees mounted to poles downtown were more expensive to purchase and install, they certainly made our downtown unique and charming.
Have you held office or run for office before? If yes, when and where? In the early 1990s, Wauseon Mayor Richard Volk appointed me to the Wauseon City Zoning Board of Appeals. Each mayor since that time has reappointed me, and I have been a continuous board member since that time. I am currently the chairman of that board, and have served in that position for many years.
Rick Frey
A lifelong Wauseon resident, Frey, 59, is a former city employee.
Why are you running for office? I've been supported by this city in many ways, and I care so much about its future. I'm now retired, and have the time available to focus on needs for the city. I also have a sense of civic responsibility. I think I understand the infrastructure of this community better than most – streets, water lines, sewer systems, trees, parks, fire, police, personnel, etc.
Why should people vote for you? It seems that I've been in every neighborhood, and in a lot of cases every residence home for some reason or another over the years. I'm sure that not everyone has agreed with me or the city's policies, but I feel that I've tried to put myself in their situation and be of help in the most proficient and honest way. I want to continue to stay involved with the future development of Wauseon.
What are your two main goals if elected? To prepare and plan for the future in whatever ways that may entail, and to maintain and update our current infrastructures.
Have you ever held office before? If yes, when and where?
Kathy Huner
Huner, a former member of council, has an associate's certification in early childhood education and administration. She has been administrator/ head teacher at Emmaus Christian Preschool for 20 years. Huner also chaired on the Wauseon Child Conservation League, chaired on the Girls Christian Fellowship Board, served on the Wauseon to Waveland Katrina Missions Committee, and was a member of the Wauseon Recreation and Association Board.
Why are you running for this office? I was born and raised in Wauseon. I have always taken pride in our City. Sitting on Council for 12 years I have thoroughly enjoyed serving the citizens of Wauseon. I feel that all citizens should be heard and represented and with my experience and dedication I am the candidate to follow through with this task.
Why should people vote for you? I will dedicate my time on council to make sure that the citizens voices will be heard. I will work to make sure that their health safety and welfare are my priority. I am experienced with Wauseon city business, ordinances and have sat on numerous boards such as the Buildings and Grounds Board, Utilities Board, Park Board, Fire Fighters Dependency Board, Wauseon Union Cemetery Board, Safety & Code Board, Holiday Committee, Independence Day Committee, Chili Cook off committee and The Fireman's Appreciation Day Committee.
What are your two main goals if elected? To serve the citizens of Wauseon and to work at seeing that our city move forward with positive growth and outcomes such as the Linfoot Street reconstruction project and EPA mandates on our water and sewer treatments.
Have you ever held office before? If yes, when and where? Yes I sat on Wauseon City Council for three terms beginning Jan 2000 through Dec. 2011.
Heather Huffman Kost
Kost, 45, an incumbent, earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Public Health Administration. She is a board member of the Four County ADAMhs Board, and a volunteer for Hands of Grace Faith in Action, and the Medical Reserve Corps. She is married to Darrin Kost, and has four children, Brenden, Halle, Evan and Harlee.
Why are you running for this office? I am running for Wauseon City Council because I feel that to better a community, people need to become involved. Having a diverse group of council members with different strengths and skills will help keep the city moving in a positive direction. Some of my strengths are short and long term planning, this is vital in many situations since being proactive rather than reactive saves money and time. Vince Lombardi said it best: "Individual commitment to a group effort- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work." I feel it is my time to contribute.
Why should people vote for you? I am running for council so that I can be a spokesperson for the residents of the city. I feel that I approach issues (no matter how controversial) with an open mind and in a positive way. I was born and raised here, I am raising my children here. I have a vested interest in making sure Wauseon stays on a path of growth. The decisions we make now need to be beneficial for the future of Wauseon, and not just benefit us in the present time. I am also happy to listen to suggestions and ideas from others because often that is where some of the most creative ideas and resolutions come from.
What are your two main goals if elected? Strategic planning from departments for five and 10 years out. We have an aging infrastructure and we have a lot of updates that will have to be completed because of age and because of new regulations that are passed. Because we have big ticket items to purchase, I would like to seeequipment replacement schedules and infrastructure replacement schedules. This would not only help keep council members aware of what expenditures may be coming, but if there is transition in director/superintendent positions, the person coming in has an immediate picture of what their department has worked on and what they will need to plan for.
I would also like to see some of the projects slated to take place in a particular year, to actually get started and completed if possible in that same year. There may be some delays with projects but most of our planned improvements should take place in the year they are budgeted to happen.
Have you held office before or run for office before? If yes, when and where? I have been on Wauseon City Council since January of 2012. I serve on the Utility Committee, the Personnel Committee and the Charter Revision Committee. I am also an alternate on the Parks Committee. It has been a great experience and very rewarding.
A cool side note: In January 2012, after I was sworn in, I found out that my grandfather, Richard Huffman, was also on city council.
Jon Schamp
Retired in 2013 after over 13 years as Wauseon's finance director, Schamp, 60, received a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from Miami University. He has held positions with First Lutheran Church in Stryker, the Wauseon Masonic Lodge, the Wauseon Homecoming Committee, the Wauseon Rotary Club and the Wauseon Elks. He has been married to his wife Judy for 21 years.
Why are you running for office? While still employed by the City of Wauseon, I became aware that a current Council member was not going to run for re-election. I felt that, in retirement, this would be a good opportunity for me to realize my 13-plus years of experience as Director of Finance to continue being involved with local government affairs.
Why should people vote for you? As Director of Finance attending council meetings was part of my job. I am therefore very familiar with the matters that Council has dealt with in the past, and are currently dealing with. I am familiar with the elected officials and employees of the city. The experience also makes me aware of the financial condition of the city, which comes into play with most matters that come before council.
What are your two main goals if elected? It is very important to work well with others. I will be open to other members' ideas and opinions and be willing to share mine in a civil manner. (And) fiscal soundness is a basic necessity. I will work with the other elected officials to insure that the city remains solvent.
Have you held office or run for office before? Not elected office. Only in the various organizations I belong to.
Jeff Stiriz
An incumbent, and a Delta High School graduate, Stiriz, 56, is a member of the St. Caspar Catholic Church Knights of Columbus and Wauseon Netsense. He has been married to his wife Cathy for 36 years, and has eight children and 16 grandchildren.
Why are you running for office? I want to see a basic pool back at the same location where it was. Instead of spending $2.5 million, go with about $800,000 to $900,000.
Why should people vote for you? Because I'm always willing to listen, and I know when I'm on council I work for the people of Wauseon.
What are your two main goals if elected? To work for the people of Wauseon and to work on getting a pool.
Have you held office before? If yes, when and where? I have served on city council for 12 years.

"I found myself double- and triple-checking before changing lanes or merging on the highway."
The 2013 Dodge Dart spent its tenth month in our care within the state of Michigan. At this point, we've come to terms with most of the Dart's virtues and downfalls, and now we're putting it to work as a pleasant day-to-day commuter.
Graphic designer John Kalmar spent a week behind the wheel of the 2013 Dodge Dart in October, crisscrossing the state in search of Michigan State football victories (they won), beverages and donuts from Uncle John's Cider Mill (judged delicious), and live music in Grand Rapids. Kalmar enjoyed his time in the Four Seasons Dodge but complained about the meager rearward visibility afforded by the Dart's fat C-pillars and rising beltline. Without any blind-spot warning systems on board, you need to be extra careful when dicing through traffic.
"I found myself double- and triple-checking before changing lanes or merging on the highway," he said.
Associate editor Greg Migliore, who has a 45-plus-minute daily highway commute, agrees that the Dart's blind spots are large but says it's far from one of the worst compact cars in terms of visibility. He reports that the 2013 Dodge Dart is an excellent highway commuter, a sentiment that echoes the views of nearly everyone who has taken the Dodge on a long trip.
Later, associate web editor Joey Capparella took the helm and used the 2013 Dodge Dart to drive to a concert in metro Detroit. With four friends on board, he was glad the Dart is one of the roomier "compact" sedans currently on the market.
"They had plenty of legroom but the back seat is only just wide enough for three adults," Capparella reported.
Next up was road test editor Chris Nelson's girlfriend, Kimmy Hay, who wanted to compare the white 2013 Dodge Dart to her white 2012 Dodge Avenger SXT. She took issue with the Dart's rounded, bulbous shape and also said she preferred the steering feel in her Avenger. Yet Hay conceded that she liked the Dart's intuitive touchscreen navigation system and gutsy turbocharged four-cylinder engine. She has no plans, however, to swap her Avenger for a Dart any time soon.
As our yearlong test winds to a close, we hope to take the Dart on a few last trips to get the most out of our time with the smallest Dodge.

Stocks continue to rise
popular .
The local stock barometer climbed past the 6,200 mark Wednesday as investors were relieved that another crisis in the Middle East could be averted.
Gaining for the fourth straight session, the main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index racked up 125.18 points or 2.06 percent to close at 6,214.90.
Local stockbrokerage Regina Capital said Wednesday's rally was "due to the probability of a (US) military strike against Syria becoming less likely."
This followed reports that US President Obama was willing to pursue a diplomatic solution to the Syria crisis, heeding "encouraging signs." Russia earlier proposed to put Syrian chemical weapons under international control.
Another war in the Middle East would have resulted in skyrocketing oil prices that, in turn, are bad for oil-importing countries such as the Philippines.
The local stock market has seen modest net foreign buying in the last few days, which dealers said might have likewise indicated that concerns on the US Federal Reserve's tapering of easy money could have been digested. Doris C. Dumlao

Guilty pleas entered on 'Lil Boosie' drug charges
A friend of imprisoned rapper Torence "Lil Boosie" Hatch and a former Dixon Correctional Institute guard have pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to smuggle drugs into Dixon for Hatch while he was jailed there.
As part of negotiated plea agreements, state District Judge Mike Erwin put Walnita Decuir on active supervised probation for five years and Joshua Wilson on unsupervised probation for six months.
The Advocate reports Decuir pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony drug charges stemming from two separate indictments. Wilson, who was named in one of the indictments, pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge of interfering with a law enforcement investigation.
Hatch pleaded guilty in November to a number of drug-related charges and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Where Are They Now? - Mike Stone
Welcome to the sixth episode in our "Where Are They Now?" series! Being a gamer since the days of Pong, I thought it was long past the time when someone should take a look at game developers from days gone by and find out how (and whether) they're still involved in making the games we love to play.
Claim to Fame
Mike Stone may not be a name that everyone is aware of, but they should be. Mike got his start in the industry with Mythic Entertainment in 2001, but by the beginning of 2004 he had risen to the ranks of Senior Designer and Content Lead for Dark Age of Camelot. This was a title he held through more than one expansion for the game. So where does all this lead when it comes to claim to fame? Darkness Falls, baby Darkness Falls.
This Dark Age of Camelot expansion is, in my opinion, hands down not only the best expansion for Dark Age but also one of the greatest expansions of all time for any game. Yeah, I said it. That may be a bold statement, but hear me out before you go about gathering the proverbial pitchforks and torches.
Everyone who reads my articles should know by now that IÂm a huge fan of dungeons  especially non-instanced dungeons as evidenced by my Elder ScrollÂs piece earlier this year. My undying love of Dungeons & Dragons along with EverQuest sealed my fate long ago. What has that got to do with Darkness Falls though? Damned near everything, my friends.
Mike was the Senior Designer and Content Lead when Darkness Falls was created and released and it was awesome. Three factions are always at war within DAoC so the team decided to add another incentive for people to take part in the battles. Whichever faction was currently Âwinning could enter Darkness Falls  a dungeon of epic proportions. This may not sound like a big deal, but there are some important factors to keep in mind. For starters, nothing like this had ever been done before by anyone. Secondly, I only said whoever was winning could enter the dungeon. I never said anything about anyone getting kicked out when the dungeon Âflipped. People would make camps and settle in for the long haul through multiple flips, defending themselves from mobs, other players, and shear panic. The dungeon was creepy as hell and epically awesome.
Where Are They Now and Why the Hell Should I Care?
Mike stayed with Mythic for a number of years and was also an Associate Producer on Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning before moving on to work at KingsIsle Entertainment in 2010. There, heÂs been an Associate Producer of a game that you may not play, but IÂll almost guarantee your kids have. Wizard 101 is one of the most successful kiddie MMOs ever released. The team is constantly adding new content and adventures for your youngsters to enjoy.
Along with Wizard 101, Mike is also an Associate Producer for KingsIsleÂs latest title, Pirate 101. Another title for children, it shows no signs of stopping. Working on children games after a career of hardcore PvP titles may seem like a strange choice on the surface, but I donÂt think itÂs that much of a stretch. At the end of the day, creating great content is what every game industry veteran strives to achieve and Mike has proven that time and time again. As I said in the beginning, Mike may not have been a developer you were previously aware of, but you certainly should be now.

Slept like a log because we were with the grands yesterday and I have both dogs here, but am up and at 'em today. Day is planned out in terms of food. Activity remains to be seen based on when we'll be taking the older grand back to his folks' house -- he's out fishing with his Grandpa and was so excited he suggested they go to bed as soon as they got home so they could get up early.
That's the kick in the seat of the pants I need. I don't want to be absolutely exhausted after a few hours with the little ones. Don't want to need to sit down because it hurts too much to stand for more than a few minutes. Want to be able to swing the little one on his swingset for as along as he wants.
This rule about eating at the table is working. I'm too lazy to get up in the evening -- which is my total downfall time -- and move to the table. Kind of ironic, because I wasn't too lazy previously to get up to get something to eat that wasn't on plan, but I'm too lazy to then eat it at the table. Go figure -- I never claimed to be 100% sane.
Mini Goals: Move Here Weight (2005): 344, Stop Smoking Weight (1997): 333, Mom Remarried (1990) 313, Twoderville: 299, Move to NC (1989): 280, Closer to 200 than 300: 249, More to Come....

is temporarily relieves burning and irritation due to dryness of the eye or to exposure to wind or sun.
These eye drops moisturizes for greater comfort. These are very good lubricant drops for soft contact lenses users. These are my favorite drops. Nowadays these drops are hard to find in stores, i got these drops from myotcstore.
May cost more than others but are in a separate class!! One drop in each dry eye feels so good and lubricates them much better than other brands. My opthamologist recommended them.
My doctor recommended these to me, giving me a sample, and sending me on my way. I have since purchased them, and have been quite happy with their effectiveness. They are long-lasting.Relief is felt immediately.It should be noted that when the drops are first placed in the eye, some blurriness may occur. This is due to the contents of the drops, which include glycerine, an oily whetting solution often used in soap and cosmetics. The blurriness clears up very quickly, though, and is no real cause for concern.
This product is very effective and gentle. I have chronic dry eyes & have used more expensive brands. However, I have been very pleased with the Advanced brand and intend to continue using it.
Easy as usual. Free shipping for a $79 order works great for me.

There's even a new play on Broadwaythe Hollywood-phobic Stones in His Pocketswhich has two frisky actors, 15 characters, and one audience member saying, "It's not boring."
But the most not-boring show of allaside from the spectacle of music-industry insiders telling me that Jeff Timmons from 98° has gotten secretly marriedwas Aretha Franklin's VH1 Divas Live tribute, where the queen of soul moomba-ed her ass off for hours as it was emphatically kissed by friends and Nielsen families. Last time around, Aretha stormed out of rehearsal because the air-conditioning was on, so this time we sweated like pigs, only catching a breeze whenever the songstress sashayed her capacious gowns across the stage. There was also a gust of unintended laughter when Pamela Anderson, her gigantic orbs practically spilling out of her dress, revealed that she used to sing "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman" into her hairbrush. But forget the presenters. (When I think Aretha Franklin, I think Kelly Ripa, don't you?) The music soared, with Jill Scott stealing the show on that very "Natural Woman" and Aretha rocking on opera, jazz, and K-Tel classics, only petering out with a guest-star-studded "Freeway of Love" that wouldn't quit (though she was restrained compared to Diana Ross, whose diva tribute, I think, is still going on from last year).
Alas, Aretha neglected to thank Jill Scott in her acknowledgments at the end, and when I mentioned this to a VH1 big shot at the Chambers Hotel after-party, he seemed about to give me the backstory until another big shot hushed him up. "It was just a Chad Lowe moment," I was promptly assured.
A Taylor Dayne moment happened when that singer turned up at the bash and told me she doesn't play the title role in Aida"I'm the white princess." Oh, speaking of Lady Di, her biographer (and Monica's), Andrew Morton, is working on an unauthorized book about Madonna, who has called him a worm and forbidden friends from talking to him. But I met with the bloke, and he didn't seem out for blood at all. Damn! And now, does anyone perchance know how to get a cum rag out of your lips?

Bank of Japan keeps policy on hold, focus on semi-annual report
Published on Apr 30, 2014 12:09 PM
TOKYO (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept monetary policy steady on Wednesday, signalling its confidence that the country is making steady progress toward meeting the bank's price target.
As expected, the central bank voted unanimously to maintain its pledge of increasing base money, its key policy gauge, at an annual pace of 60 trillion to 70 trillion yen (S$734-857 billion).
Markets are focusing on the BOJ's semi-annual report due out at 2pm Singapore time, which will issue long-term economic and price forecasts including, for the first time, those for fiscal year 2016/17 ending in March 2017.
BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will then hold a news conference from 2.30pm Singapore time.

Also, invest in nursing tank tops if you plan on breastfeeding!
OMG. you all MUST go get the maternity jeans from motherhood maternity. they are delicious. they even have a bellaband type stretchband that goes up and over your belly :)
i'm going to get some here soon.. seeing how i'm already unbuttoning my pants when i sit/eat..
Andria Nicole ~ June 8th 2009
Madelyn Noelle ~ May 31st 2012!
I wore a pair of GAP skinny jeans through my entire (arrived) August 2010 pregnancy. (I'm not a huge dress girl...)
I loved the Target ribbed tank tops (they were SO much softer than the ones I bought in every color from ON, so I couldn't justify getting too many :-( ).
I got a black velveteen sweatsuit from GAP that I absolutely LIVED in.
Old Navy sales, when they have 50% off their clearance racks (I call every once in a while to see if they're doing it) were fabulous for getting things I wouldn't usually buy for about $2...great to stock up for options...
A black dress that you feel cute in (difficult, I know, when you don't really feel cute... :-) ), but seriously, I ended up wearing it to a few parties and cocktail parties, and it would have been a bummer not to have something like that on-hand.
My favorite things were the cute non-maternity things (usualy tops or dresses) I found that I could wear...I liked the way that they fit better, for some reason...
Happy Shopping! :-)
The Motherhood secret fit belly jeans and pants are just lovely! So comfy....I'm wearing them right now :)
Also, I just live in long sleeved t-shirts. I love anything cotton and stretchy....keep me away from anything tailored and structured....just not comfy!

Unfortunately it is the church that these things start in...
I am familiar with this school and the college. Yes, they are private and people do not have to send their children to them.
My fear is that the nanny state is emphasized quite often by the church and these models find their way into the public sphere. Christian leaders should be toughest advocates for the rights of the individual but many have been co-opted by their government tax status and all the things that come with that.
These kids have no idea what they are giving up and their parents are clueless.
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Since 2003, the Whitney has tried to send the message that it wants to be the art world's museum. This daring bifurcation-renovation is a way to make that happen. If the Whitney and its intrepid board have the nerve to allow their excellent architect Renzo Piano to renovate a massive old buildingeven a gigantic Quonset hut would doand create ample space for its collection and for recent and contemporary art, it would change everything. It would be a colossal vote of confidence in contemporary art and a tremendous thank-you to all you people who, over the last 25 years, have made New York such an amazing place for art. If the Whitney builds that we will come.
Marcia Tucker
Marcia Tucker was a hero of do-it-yourself aesthetic rabble-rousing. She changed the art world a little bitwhich is a lot. On October 17 Tucker died at her home in Santa Barbara, California. She was 66 and had been living with cancer.
Tucker's story is legend in the art world: In 1975, as curator for the Whitney Museum of American Art, she organized a Richard Tuttle exhibition. The show was trounced by critics; museum trustees and higher-ups turned on her; she was canned. Then, Tucker did something people often talk about doing but rarely do. She started her own place called the New Museum, an upstart institution dedicated to contemporary art that was the last alternative museum of its kind formed in New York. Nudge-nudge, young disgruntled museum people.
Tucker created something lasting, chaotic, and effective. As she put it in 1998, "Richard Tuttle ruined my life." Of course, she meant that in a sense he made her life. Tucker also excelled at ending things. In 1997, after 22 years of directing her beloved institution, she did another thing people don't do much: She voluntarily stepped aside. Nudge-nudge, museum people everywhere, and I suppose also art critics. Like I said, Tucker was a hero.

- You can find wreaths, door swages and various other items for just about every season if you shop around a bit.
- These spring swages were carefully patterned after the shapes contained in an original Drew calking die I bought from the company many years ago.
verb[with object] Back to top
1Shape (metal) using a swage, especially in order to reduce its cross section: (as noun swaging) the instrument has a swaging head and a pulsed action which flattens the rivet in a series of rolling motions
More example sentences

- They are swaged to a uniform shape and weight, which promotes excellent accuracy.
- The hassle factor goes up exponentially when you have to swage primer pockets and keep that brass separate.
Late Middle English (in sense 2 of the noun): from Old French souage 'decorative groove', of unknown origin.

The John C. Butler-class destroyer escort originated during World War II. The lead ship was USS John C. Butler, commissioned on 31 March 1944. The class was also known as the WGT type from their Westinghouse Geared Turbine drive.[1] Of the 293 ships originally planned, 206 were canceled in 1944 and a further four after being laid down; three were not completed until after the end of World War II.
The standard armament for the class was two 5 in (127 mm) dual purpose guns, four 40 mm and ten 20 mm anti-aircraft guns, and three 21 in (533 mm) torpedo tubes. It also carried two depth charge racks, eight depth charge projectors and one hedgehog projector as secondary weapons. The ships had a maximum speed of 24 kn (28 mph; 44 km/h).
The most notable ship of this class was Samuel B. Roberts, which gained fame during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, where it, along with several other ships engaged a number of cruisers and battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy in a torpedo attack, where it was sunk after taking several hits.[2] During this action, Samuel B. Roberts achieved a speed of 28.7 kn (33.0 mph; 53.2 km/h) for over an hour by running her engines at 660 psi (46 bar).[3]
A floating history museum of the destroyer escorts resides in Albany, NY.[4] USS Slater (DE 766) (a related Cannon-class DE) is docked during temperate months on the Hudson River in Albany, New York. An Edsall-class destroyer escort, USS Stewart, is also on display as a museum ship in Galveston, Texas.

Flamenco-meets-jazz pianist and composer Ariadna
Castellanos has been wowing audiences around the globe with what has
been called "a brutal technique and a wild intuition" on the piano. Find
out more at ariadnacastellanos.com.
INSTRUMENTS PLAYED: Piano, violin, harp, and drums.
MUSICAL TRAINING: "I studied classical piano at the
Guildhall School of Music in London, as well as the Berklee College of
Music in Boston. But Flamenco music is really learned from people in the
street—from guitarists and singers in Spain—and from many, many
MUSICAL INFLUENCES: "Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, Jerez, Debussy, Ravel, and Calle 13."
FAVORITE KEYBOARDS: "I'm a fan of acoustic pianos, especially Bösendorfer."
WHAT I'M LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW: "Silence. I use
music to change my state of mind, so when I'm feeling down, I play
energetic music. When I feel sad I play aggressive music to give me
strength, and when I'm extremely happy I allow myself a soft, romantic
BIG BREAK: "Meeting Javier Limón, the eight-time
Grammy award winner who has recorded many famous flamenco, jazz, and
modern artists such as Paco de Lucia, Alejandro Sanz, Wynton Marsalis,
and Bebo Valdés. He recorded my first album Flamenco en Black and White.
This year he was nominated for the Latin Grammy as Producer of the Year
for my album. Another big break would be winning the Presidential
Scholarship at Berklee, as I'm the only Spanish musician to ever receive
it. I'll always be extremely thankful to them for allowing me to come
to the United States and open my mind and music up to a whole new
ADVICE: "Always be humble, yet never let anybody
pull you down. Nobody knows everything, yet we're all special. Also,
always love the music more than yourself onstage."
These are my comments.

I've been using this product for almost a week now and i have seen some improvements. For example, i can see new lashes sprouting out, especially near the corners of my eyes. I'm extremely pleased with that. However, length-wise, i have not seen any growth at all. Then again, i've only been using it for such a short period of time so i'll keep on using it and see how it goes. Just a tip, use a q-tip to smear on some of the gel onto the skin closest to the eyelashes cause i think it helps to generate growth of new eyelashes. I don't use this product on my eyebrows because my eyebrows are thick enough, especially since i threaded it 3 months ago. Just a question though, if i stop using the product, would my eyelashes start to weaken and fall out? Anyone who knows, please tell me. Thanks very much!
I'm not very happy with this product now because today i realised that a few hours after i had washed of the gel, my eyelashes were clumpy. So i started to tug gently at them and a total of 6 came out! That is extremely shocking since before i used this gel i had never had problems with weak eyelashes. I'm not sure if i should dis-continue the use of the product. Any suggestions?

I love this stuff! I constantly need a lash growth product of some sort. I first started out with Talika and it worked but it was so expensive and I was kind of dumb at the time and didn't research cheaper options. After i was done with Talika, I went a little while without using a lash growth product and my lashes went limp and thin and back to how they were before talika. Then I got this stuff and it works just the same for me. This won't make your lashes look false or anything like that. I wear mascara and curl my lashes everyday and this helps keep them strong.

I'm going on about a month of using this product, and so far I LOVE it!
I am a mascara junkie, and it's taken it's toll on my once beautiful lush, dark, thick, long lashes. So I started on a quest to find a good conditioner and came across this. The price isn't even worth batting an eye at, so I bought 3...what the heck I say.
Well I'm so glad I did! It's made a definite difference. My lahes are getting nice and thick again. I had a problem where one eye had longer lashes than they other...this is correcting that. My lashes aren't falling out as much as they used to. They are stronger and just all around LOOK better. It also works on my brows. I am so glad I found this. :)

I've only used this product on my eyebrows, for the record I'm obsessed with the brows, and it works FANTABULOUSLY! I love the way it makes my eyebrows feel once you wash the product off (so soft, almost like you applied conditioner to them). It works great as a brow gel during the day as well. Just be sure not to get make-up on the wand as it will make the product in the tube turn from white to some unholy looking color. The "white goo", as I so lovingly refer to it, does help with growing in sparse areas and overall darkens and conditions the eyebrow hair. My one and only gripe is the wand applicator. I would prefer a doe foot sponge applicator for the eyebrow, but seeing how this "white goo" doubles as an eyelash accelerator as well it makes sense for the mascara applicator. I have only been able to find this product at Rite Aid and each time it's been the last one or else I would have depleted their inventory! Even if you are still skeptical about this product, I would give it a GO! How can you NOT try this product when it usually retails for around $4 bucks?!?!? I've tried other products, most notably Billion Dollar Brows, and yes that product worked well for the brows, but did not work well for my wallet ($20, plus S&H). I just adore Ardell for even having this product, they have found a 'forever and forever' in me, as in : I WILL FOREVER AND FOREVER BUY THIS PRODUCT :)

Wanted to add my approval to the general chorus. I'm Asian, my eyelashes were thin and I hate wearing mascara (contact lenses, allergies, etc.). I started using this on my eyebrows and lashes instead of mascara and after two-three months of regular application, I saw definite growth, especially on my eyelashes. Now it looks like I'm already wearing 1-2 coats of actual mascara when I have nothing on. Amazing. Highly recommend it.

So I'll get down to what everyone wants to know first: Does it work? Yes it does. Do not think of it being a magical device that will instantly make your lashes grow, because it doesn't. You really have to use this constantly to see any difference. I used this on my eye brows mostly because I had over plucked my eye brow in one area and it really helped my eye brows grow. My eye brow grew back 100% in a very short amount of time, and I used this product religiously! I even put it on during the day as sort of a brow gel to make my brows stay in place, because I noticed during the night when I used it on my eye brows it kind of made them feel stiff at first so I made sure to put it on that specific eye brow day and night. I also used it on my lashes just to see if it worked there, and after a couple weeks I did notice a significant difference. The price is amazing, less than 5 dollars at ride aid and it is an amazing product. It kind of conditions my eye lashes too and makes them feel softer and kind of rejuvenates them after using mascara. Now, for the cons because there is one. The reason I rated it only 4 lippies is because it can irritate my eyes. After I put this on I notice my eyes water a little bit more, and when I lay down and watch TV getting ready to relax for bed, I notice it feels like my eyes are watering a lot and I constantly have to wipe my eyes. Also when I wake up in the morning I notice I have huge sleepies in my eye. (Ya know the crusties you wake up with.) Will this make me stop using the product? No not at all. The pros far out way the cons. It is an amazing product, especially for the price. =]

After using a couple of tubes of this, I couldn't find it anywhere in Asheville. Thinking it was no big deal, that perhaps it was just an unneccessary step, I forgot about it. Wrong. Within a couple of months my lashes were skimpy and breaking off or simply falling out. Finally, I found some more and started using it again. Love it. Think of it as a conditioner for your lashes. Does it make your lashes grow? I don't really know but I don't want to be without it again.

I received this in a swap and I'm definitely not disappointed. My lashes seem to be softer and fuller after one month of use. They are already long so I haven't noticed a change in that area. It does irritate your eyes so be careful when applying and don't rub your eyes.

I have had this product for over a week now and used it about 3 times. I used it the first 2 days after I got it and forgot about it until yesterday when I looked in the mirror and noticed my lashes looked longer, darker and thicker. I've been blessed w/ naturally long dark lashes but after years of using mascara and sun exposure they had started to look shorter and thinner.
I think something people don't realize is that these(lash growers) are more of lash conditioners and work quickly because the lashes are short and you get results quicker than you would w/ your hair on your head. This is not going to make you grow hair you never had it just helps repair so that your lashes can grow back in. Maybe I'm wrong.
One complaint is that it does irritate eyes I guess that's why you should use it at night so your less likely to get it in them.

Union Minister and NC chief Farooq Abdullah today said those who vote for Narendra Modi should "drown" in the sea and also threatened that Kashmir will not remain with India if the country becomes communal. The BJP hit back at Farooq for his remarks that communalism was not acceptable, saying that the country does not need a certificate from the Union minister to become secular.
As Farooq, the National Conference candidate from Srinagar arrived at the venue, an explosion was heard causing panic and sending security forces into a tizzy. The explosion sounded like a grenade blast. However, police did not confirm it. The rally continued as people did not leave the venue. "Pray to God to save us from communal forces so that we can move forward. India cannot become communal. If it becomes communal, then Kashmir will not remain with India. Communalism is not acceptable to Kashmiris," Abdullah told a poll rally at Khanyar in the old city of Srinagar.
The NC leader while taking a dig at Bihar BJP leader Giriraj Singh said, "they say those who do not vote for Modi should go to Pakistan. (I say) Those who vote for Modi should drown in the sea." In inflammatory remarks for which an FIR has been filed against him, Giriraj had said that critics of the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate should go to Pakistan. The nation belongs to its people and they will decide what to do, he said.
Farooq said he is not scared of attacks, adding "even if they (militants) throw thousands of grenades, Farooq Abdullah will neither get scared nor will turn back." Those who carry out such attacks will be defeated, he said, "God willing, we will win and push them away." Attacking UPA ally National Conference, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said good governance is the "biggest casualty" in Jammu and Kashmir for which the NC government is responsible.
"Neither the country nor Jammu and Kashmir need a certificate from Farooq Abdullah to become secular," Prasad told reporters in Delhi.

England spent ages perfecting the long ball tactic, and Beckham is to show for it. He's the epitome of what England have been doing internationally for the past 30 years.
I do admire his professionalism, though. Whenever he plays for England, you can tell he's not only giving it his all, but that he actually wants to be there. I can't say that for practically anyone else who's suited up for England since I've started watching football. (see Ferdinand, Rio)
With that being said, he wasn't signed JUST to sell shirts, he could actually be X factor when they play away to Barcelona....think about it, he'll sit really deep, help defend as best he can, and when there's an opportunity to hit Barcelona on the break (because if you're not Real Madrid, chances are you don't have the talent to take the game to them), he's got the accuracy to drop a 60 yard pass to Zlatan who will do the rest of the work. Yeah it's not pretty but if it gets the job done then it gets the job done.
The highlighted bit I agree with. And he definitely cares about playing for his country as opposed to Rio, but apart from that I completely disagree.
Did you actually see the PSG game? This is what I said on the previous page, and the majority of people who understand football agree with me.
"Honestly Beckham is an absolute joke now. After 20 mins he stood just outside the penalty area lolloping around, playing (accurate it must be said) long balls. Whenever he did run after someone they got away, and he was eventually booked for fouling.
Oh, and yes,
as soon as he went off PSG scored 2 goals. If they had started without Beckham, I think they would have won
, they looked good."
