From Justin Koo
Posted January 16, 2007 at 10:00 PM
I'm playing violin in a praise band next week for a christian worship service. The band has 2 guitars, acoustic and electric, a bass, drums, and me on a miked classical violin, along with the singer and the congregation helping out. Since this is my first experience on stage outside of a classical setting such as solo, orchestra, quartet, etc.. I'm a little bit nervous.
There's no sheet music to speak of other than the lyrics with the guitar chords on them, which helps me little to none since my theory is quite weak.
Does anyone here have any ideas or experience with this kind of setting? I'm hoping i can figure out something useful to play rather than the melody or just a drone.
+play the chord tones, then try to play the third of the chords, then try the fifth... and of course, you can do this in different registers
+play an octave above the voices
+play two octaves above the voices :)
+Even if you have to play the same note for a bar, put some rhythm with it, it'll make it more exciting
+if you want to play harmony at the same time, perhaps try singing along and trying out your harmonies ahead of time
+a lot of praise songs have the same progressions (I-IV-V-I and maybe some VI's), so sometimes you can even put another song on TOP of the one you're doing, if you're feeling really adventurous (and you don't think you'll mess anyone else up)
Often, for ideal building effects in songs, I'll start playing the melody with everyone, then go into harmony, then go up an octave doing some more harmony/rhythm things, then play the melody up an octave (maybe add a trill or turn here or there to keep it more interesting).
Hope that helps!
Here are some of my thoughts, which maybe others will disagree with, but hopefully it will help your juices start to flow.
*Keep in mind you don't have to play all the time - nor on every song - variety in instrumentation and texture is nice. This can also allow you time to enjoy your own church experience, as it might be hard when you're first starting to focus on anything other than what you're going to play next.
*Sometimes I'll simply play the alto or tenor harmony above or below the singer.
*Imagine creating the "string pad" sound of a keyboard - long sustained notes that change with the chord.
*Improvising violinists often have the same mistake - they forget to let the phrase breathe. Since we can play nonstop, we often do. When you start getting ideas for countermelodies or embellishments, let them come to their natural end and pause.
*Experiment with echoing - think of the beginning of the Christmas carol Silent Night - imagine the violin echoing the melody an octave higher on the held dotted quarter, adjusting the final pitch to fit the new chord on "All is calm". You can echo the exact melody, or try to add an afterthought.
*On upbeat songs, experiment with simple rhythmic arpeggios that outline the chord structure. Try out different rhythmic patterns on repeated notes.
*When I first started, I played a lot of scales and arpeggios - passing notes in harmony lines and such. If you play a note out of the chord, just fix it and move on - it's just dissonance and resolution that way :)
*I find that I can play around better when I know the song really well. If you listen to the songs, experiment with singing or vocalizing along to try out different ideas, it'll build your confidence and help you come up with things to play. Once you have something you like, don't be afraid to keep it. I definitely have created countermelodies for certain songs that I always play now.
*Listen to lots of recordings for ideas - take them wherever you can, from fiddlers, electric guitars, keyboard solos, choral arrangements, etc.
*Most important, don't be nervous. It takes practice like anything else, and you will get better at it over time. And you'll probably even get pretty good at reading a chord chart, since they all are pretty much the same :) Feel free to just go for it - the worst that can happen is it'll sound dumb, but people who go to a church with a praise team aren't usually listening to every note played with a critical ear, their attentions are elsewhere, and there's a lot of grace extended for mistakes. Try to always keep in focus who your first audience truly is!
Check out the postings as there was a recent discussion on how to learn to improv that might also help.
Hopefully that isn't too basic and can help you get started!
I like what was said about not feeling like you have to fill all the spaces. If you don't know what note to play, listen to the bass line. For beginners, you can match the bass note. Then think of do-mi-so, built off the bass note. Those three notes are the most important ones. Everything else is ornamentation, whether passing tones or neighboring tones.
(some people advise to do as the Spirit leads, but denominational strife may ensue.)
When you first learn to play by ear, the melody is the easiest thing to figure out. You can play the melody and gradually venture onto new variations from there.
People already have written some good advice, so I'll quit now.
All bands have a variety of skill levels in their musicians. You want to see how the other members of the band react to your playing, to determine your role.
I have played with bands that have amateur players that are very distracted -- almost sabotaged-- if I play anything other than the melody. In that case, I try to play only selected parts of the melody or ask to take an "instrumental" verse to improvise.
If your singers and guitar player are more experienced then you can improvise.
There has been some good advice about chords and bow rhythms. In a band like this the violin often can be a rhythmic filler to give some relief to the guitars. If the guitar sound is very thick, as it often is if there are many of them, you can try to punch through with end of phrase riffs.
Playing chord members is always helpful--an old Jazz Saxophone player told me to just keep moving until I find a note that works with the chord.
The purpose of a praise band is to lead and enhance congregational singing. Often the violin can do that by playing lead-ins to the verses to signal to the congregation to start singing. Use triplets scales leading into verses.
Good luck and have fun. I have done this for years--and it does expand your horizon. I started playing Jazz about 10 years ago after years of orchestral work. All my interpretation is better. I really see the structure of classical pieces with much more clarity--
About playing the scales and arpeggios, I'll have a lyrics sheet with guitar chords, such as G, C, Em Etc... should I pay any attention to that as the scale to be in or should I just go by ear??
I have noticed with myself two misstakes that are easy to make:
one is that you play nonstop, like the others have said as well. the violin should either be a spice or if the violin is playing on the whole song you have to remember that the violin is like a human voice, it has to breathe in between. (at first i had problem with this when i didn't know my way around on the violin so i always played to find the right notes)
number two is that sometimes you can get so caught up in your own playing that you don't hear what the other musicians do, so listen carefully and don't be afraid to stop playing, because sometimes it's better to wait and listen until you hear in your head what the violin should do, than to play random notes.
well this is the advice i can think of.. and for the leading worship part there are two things i can think of.. have one eye on the congregation, to see how they respond, but never let them lead you, because sometimes they don't respond but that doesn't mean that the worship is over, sometimes you have to break through. If the worship leader says it's over then it is, but during the worship anything can happen, so if you suddenly feel like playing like crazy do so, the band usually follow, if you feel the holy spirit on you don't be afraid what people will think, just let the spirit lead you, that's number two play your verry best to God, not to people.

Hi there,
I have bought a second hand xbox and am having trouble networking it. I have followed the tutorial both here and at x-mods.co.nz and it is not working. The computer recognises the xbox is connected but FlashFXP keeps telling me that the connection is lost.
I have a feeling the previous owner had it networked with a MAC which may be giving me grief. In my evoX settings the first four lines under network are in blue and are:
Line Status
Ethernet Mac address; 00:50:F2:8A:F8:F2
and then the lines below that are the ones I changed according to the tutorials (setup network etc)
Any insight or help will be much appreciated.

Sounds like the xbox's LAN port maybe bad. As long as you are sure your setting are correct the xbox should be connecting. The mac address you refer to will be there no matter if the xbox is hooked up to a LAN or not.
Posted 23 October 2007 - 12:37 AM
Have you tried using a different cable?
Posted 23 October 2007 - 02:22 AM
Those four lines SHOULD be blue. Check your router's connections, mine has a server, so check to see if yours has one. That will help you identify your xbox's REAL IP address. My router assigned a different IP that what was being shown (ex. showing 192.XXX.X.XX, but really 172.XXX.X.XX ). True, it may be your ethernet port, but you can solder any ethernet port off of a switch or hub and onto the xbox if is really the problem.
Posted 23 October 2007 - 02:56 AM
I should have specified that I am networking using two NICs with a network cable and a crossover adapter, as this is all campus computers had in stock. I will try using another cable.
Thanks very much for the insight, any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The UK Bribery Act, three years on: can we relax yet?
By Raymond L Sweigart
The Bribery Act 2010 has now been in force for three years. Despite the announcements and commentary that it heralded a new and aggressive face toward corporate corruption, there have as yet been no corporate prosecutions brought under the act. Was it all sound and fury signifying nothing? Or should all involved remain cautious and focused on compliance?
The Bribery Act 2010 came into force on 1 July 2011. Under its provisions, commercial organisations operating in the UK are exposed to potential, strict criminal liability, punishable by an unlimited fine, for failing to prevent bribery (the corporate offence). The corporate offence is committed by a 'relevant commercial organisation' if a 'person associated with [the organisation]' bribes another with the intention of obtaining or retaining business or an advantage in the conduct of business for the organisation (section 7 of the act).
Enforcement of the act, including the strict liability corporate offence in section 7, has primarily been entrusted to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), while the police and Crown Prosecution Service also retain central roles. In addition, the Financial Services Authority (FSA), now split into the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), have been active on the regulatory side…

I just acquired a Nikon AI 35-135 and just shot a roll with that and will compare results, but I confess I do still like the 43-86. I have not made any print enlargements with it, but scans hold up well when magnified to the equivalent of approx 11 x 14 or so.

I am a 29 year old mom of 2. I had a hysterectomy in 08. I am not on any meds. i crave sex all day every day. I masturbate on average 3 times a day and that still doesn't work. I stay busy being a full time student, employee, and mom. I was never really into sex, not even with my ex-husband. I have been in a relationship for almost 8 months now. I constantly ask my bf if we can have sex and he says no. He has been with over 100 chicks when he was in the army plus the meds he is on is preventing him from having a SD. We have sex about 1 time every 3 weeks. He said he has already gone through his sex craving stage and that's why he doesn't want it that much now. He tells me to use my vibrator. I do and I stilll want it. Actually it upsets me really bad when i have to use my toy. I get to the point that i am hurting physically cause of the pain of wanting sex. I want to cry because i crave it so much. When my bf tells me no i feel like pure crap cause i already feel pathetic from craving sex and feeling like i am having to beg for it on top of feeling rejected. I don't know how to stop this. I want to be normal again. How do I stop craving sex and stop thinking about it non stop. When I am taking a test at school i think about sex, when i am working I think about it. Its really not healthy to be wanting it this bad. I didn't start wanting sex like this till about a year ago. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? Please if anyone knows how to stop this or how to atleast slow it down please help! I hate feeling like this. I hate being rejected and feeling like i'm having to beg for sex.

You need to speak to your doctor. The condition is called hyperexuality. They can test your hormone levels, look at your medicines and see what changes could possibly have caused this change. It can also be a sign of other conditions developing, so it is important that you speak to your doctor. It is often treated off label with medicines known to affect sex drive and hormone levels, like anti-depressants or even birth control pills.
You have no reason to feel guilty or disappointed for masturbating. It is the way to deal with your sexual desires in a safe way, and with a person you really like - yourself. Having to masturbate does not mean you are a failure at anything. It means you are a responsible adult, taking care of yourself and your needs.
Best of luck, and really make a plan to see your doctor.

Pathologizing female sexuality is really very sad. This girl has nothing wrong with her; she has a healthy libido in a sexless marriage. What resists persists until quenched.

You DO NOT have hypersexuality, doctors make up "terms" for any sort of physical instability whereas, in your case, you can simply cure your pain with MORE SEX. It may also mean that your partner isn't able to make you ejaculate the way you want to.
As far as I know, there are 3 main types - clitoral orgasm, g-spot orgasm, and squirting orgasm. These may be quite informal terminologies, but you catch my drift. You may, perhaps, be craving a g-spot or squirting orgasm. It is possible, and hypothetically speaking, that the clitoral sponge is in deep need of "release". Thus why you are feeling physical pain. Surely a doctor can prescribe you with meds to reduce your sexual appetite, but WHY??? It's like neutering a human, except with a "hormonal balance system" as opposed to a scalpel and tweezers.
It is normal for a 29 year old, especially a mother, to want a healthy sex life. Having sex once every 3 weeks is torture for someone in their 20s. My ex-girlfriend was 29 and wanted to have sex once a day. As tiring as this routine was for me, I adhered to 90% of her requests (almost 6 times a week).
You are a sexual person, and that is AMAZING! People suffer in relationships because their partner lacks sex-drive. You need a man with a demanding sexual appetite like yourself. He needs to please you harder than the titanic hit ice. You need a man that will flood your ship and sink you down till you STOP begging for more. 'Tis then when you find sexual satisfaction...
I truly hope you find peace with your troubles. Don't ever let your insecurities make you feel you're in any way abnormal but think that those around you are different from you.

Mischa Barton is glad her US TV show 'The Beautiful Life' was cancelled because it means she can spend more time with her girlfriends in New York.
Mischa Barton is pleased 'The Beautiful Life' was axed.
The Hollywood actress - who portrayed a troubled model in the US drama series, which was cancelled after two episodes - plans to spend time enjoying herself in New York.
She said: "I think it's really for the best. Everything happens for a reason, so I'm just working out, living here in the city, hanging out, being with my girlfriends.
"It's the best of both worlds wouldn't you say, being bicoastal? It's lovely, so I'm just enjoying that."
For now the 23-year-old actress is reading scripts and searching for a "great role" to work on next.
She told ETonline.com: "I've been looking at projects, enjoying living here in the city. I've been mostly concentrating on reading scripts and finding a great role for me at the moment, since the television series didn't work out."
'The Beautiful Life' also starred Corbin Bleu, Elle Macpherson and Sara Paxton, with Aston Kutcher the executive producer.

Foulksmills is set amidst a historic setting of the 1798 battlefield; The old RUC Barracks, now a private dwelling house, retains almost of its original exterior features and is now a beautiful cottage located in the centre of the village.
There is an active Tidy Towns Committee and their hard work ensures that the village performs well each year in the National Tidy Towns Competition.

Fern Cottage & Mill Farm were very proud to provide accommodation for the 2007 American Polocross Team, though the Irish Team was successful on this occasion, the visiting team had a fabulous time competing at the event.
We are always delighted to accommodate the visiting teams for these Polocross events.
Foulksmills village has a post office, a local grocery shop and two pubs for nightly entertainment all of which are a short stroll from Fern Cottage.
The watermill, built in the 1800's by an ancestor of the present owner was in full operation until about fifteen years ago. However with modern technology and more efficient methods of grinding corn - the demand for stone ground wheat meal produced in this way regrettably declined.
The wheel and its inner workings are still in the mill and Austin (present owner) is willing to give a tour of the mill when asked to do so.
Gaelic games play a huge part in the local activities with games being played throughout the summer in the local G.A.A. park - generally admission is free - visitors are most welcome to come along and experience the 'clash of the ash' as the players play for the pride of their parish - sometimes, it could be said, with more passion than skill - the old saying - "the best hurler is on the ditch" could well apply to the many excited supporters who surround the pitch for the games.
There is lots to do - quadding, fishing, cycling (Bikes available for hire in Wexford Town); Wind surfing - lessons are provided on Tramore Beach in Co Waterford. Courtown Harbour and Tramore provide lots of seaside activities - Aqua parks, carnivals etc.
Beaches are a great place to spend the day with little cost -pack a picnic and enjoy. Buckets and spades are available at the Cottage.

"Our perfect family holiday"
We read the positive reviews here before our visit to Mill Farm and it is a privilege to add ours to the list. We have recently returned from a wonderful holiday at Mill Farm. The cottage was well presented and welcoming on our arrival. The open fire was lit ready for us, we had milk and a lovely cake waiting for us and Catherine and Austin greeted us and our children having remembered all of our names from our booking. There were games, DVD's and magazines in the cottage for us to use as well as an array of leaflets and information so we could plan our days out. Nothing was too much trouble for Catherine and Austin. At the mention of us heading to find a swimming pool, we found an envelope through the door with printouts of directions, opening times etc which was just one of several kind gestures we received from the lovely Redmonds. Mill Farm is such a pretty setting for a relaxing break. So quiet and peaceful. The donkeys were the reason we chose this holiday and they were a delight, especially when we woke one morning to see Shrek had had her foal! The highlight of our holiday!! We will treasure the memories of our special Mill Farm holiday and it would be a joy to return somewhen. If you are looking for a comfortable and peaceful family holiday to get away from the hustle and bustle of day to day life, we can recommend Mill Farm. The cottage is a home from home and Catherine and Austin are incredibly kind and welcoming.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write up the review on your stay at Mill Farm. It means a lot to Austin and I that you and your family enjoyed your holiday and we hope that you brought home many happy memories. Herbert, is doing really well and getting bigger each day. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we would be delighted to have you all visit again in the future. Best wishes always. Catherine & Austin.

"Perfect for relaxation, peaceful surroundings and lovely views of the river."
Just what we needed. The cottage (brook cottage) was more beautiful than the pictures we had seen. Our daughter was over the moon about her bedroom where her bed had been thoughtfully made with hello kitty covers and a huge teddy bear placed in there too. Very helpful and friendly owners. Loved the donkeys and the play area. Would definitely return for another visit!
Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review of your stay with us at Mill Farm, Foulkesmill; We are really glad that you found the cottage welcoming and comfortable to stay in and especially that 'Hello Kitty' helped your little girl settle in for a fun holiday. Best wishes always Austin & Catherine

"Perfect family accommodation."
We were traveling to Ireland to visit familythese New Ross. From my first communication with the proprietors I knew we would be well looked after at this accomodation. When we arrived with our four children we were welcomed by Austin, who had the fire burning for us in the spacious lounge/kitchen. The children soon discovered their large bedrooms, each furnished with a double and a single bed. We had a double room downstairs with an ensuite wet room. Outside, there was a large walled garden with swings, basketball hoop and football net. There was also a patio area with a playhouse and a large selection of toys for the kids to enjoy. But the main attraction for our children were the rabbits and the three donkeys. Foulksmill is a beautiful setting, just over half an hour from Rosslare.we enjoyed some lovely days out at the Irish heritage centre in Wexford (it is well worth taking the guided tour- the guide was humourous and knowledgable and really interacted with the kids). JFK arboretum is a beautiful peaceful place with a brilliant kids play area and cafe. We had a fantastic stress free week at this spacious cottage. The cottage was well equipped and the little extras were provided (washing up liquid, tea bags, coffee, salt and pepper, hand soap, tea towels etc). The setting was picture perfect and the children were well catered for. I have no doubt that we will be returning to Mill Farm Cottages in the future.
Sincere thank you from both Austin any myself for taking the time to give such a generous review. We are really delighted to know that you and your children had a wonderful holiday and that the cottage and play areas added to the fun. We will let our other guests know of the places you enjoyed to visit and it goes without saying that we would be complimented and love to have you all back again for another stay at Mill Farm Cottage.

"Dream of exploring Ireland"
On arrival, we were we fell in love with the area and nice quite Town. The enclosed court yard was wonderful, and the cottages were nicley done, with facilities to the elderly and disable a like.( ramps for wheelchairs/handles in bathroom downstairs) The Owners were really great, prepared us all the necessary daily items,milk,toiletries, wine and a cake for our arrival. They even clearly marked the Cottage from the inside window,clearly indicating it and a welcome note. We have a wonderful week,roaming around in the soth part of Ireland,and when we were at the Cottage,enjoyed the pets in the fields ( Donkeys,chickens etc) and the harmony of the singing birds in the early morning hours.
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you liked the cottage and the surroundings. The animals are missing all the attention now that the summer season is over. Shrek (the white donkey) and her little foal are doing really well. Hope that you brought home wonderful memories of your visit to Ireland. Thank you so much for your kind words, they are much appreciated - Austin & Catherine

The RSA algorithm has become the de facto standard for industrial-strength encryption, especially for data sent over the Internet. It is built into many software products, including Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

|Assessment of accuracy and repeatability of verbal exertion estimation in the presence of fatigue
|Klosner, Matthew
|Occupational ergonomics has long focused on physical exertion as a key to the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. Traditionally, objective measurements of forceful exertion such as electromyography (EMG) and direct force measurement have been used to assess exposure to forceful exertion. However, these measurements are often not practical for occupational settings due to their cumbersome and costly nature. As a result, psychophysical magnitude estimation may be used, in which human subjects verbally estimate the magnitude of an exertion. Despite an abundance of research on verbal estimation, its repeatability and the effects of fatigue on estimation accuracy have not been sufficiently assessed. An understanding of these factors is critical for the successful implementation of verbal estimation in occupational settings. The objectives of this research were to quantify the short and long term repeatability of psychophysical magnitude estimation as well as analyze the effect of fatigue on the accuracy of estimation. Fifteen subjects performed two experiments separated by one week, in which they performed verbal estimation of submaximal forces. In addition to testing for repeatability, subjects were systematically exposed to muscular fatigue to evaluate its effect on accuracy. The results show that verbal estimation is repeatable in both the short and long term for submaximal exertions. In addition, the presence of muscular fatigue was shown to have a detrimental effect on the accuracy of estimation. On average, the estimation accuracy decreased 7.56% MVC in the presence of fatigue.

Mujeres La Bendicion De Patzun Group
Sandy's mother and father, farmers, worked hard to support her and her five siblings, but Sandy knew she had to find her own way to succeed.
Two years ago Sandy graduated from high school. However, due to the high unemployment in the country, she has been unable to get a job where she could fully use the education she received. This does not discourage Sandy, who believes that every effort is rewarded and the hardest challenges bring the best rewards.
As a child, Sandy learned to weave and embroider. With these skills and her drive to succeed, Sandy and her family decided to start a business selling handicrafts five years ago. Over time, they expanded their business to include the sale of different types of vegetables, and they also raise ducks.
Sandy currently travels to the market three times a week to sell her product. She usually leaves home at 6:30 a.m. and returns at 2 p.m. As her business grew, Sandy saw how she could benefit from a loan and eventually decided to join the Friendship Bridge.
Sandy explains that as she has diversified the types of products she sells, her customer base has increased. Sandy is about to begin her second loan cycle, and she is planning to use the loan to purchase thread in order to make more embroidered fabrics. In addition, she hopes to buy more food for her ducks.
Sandy is very excited to receive this loan because it gets her one step closer to achieving her dream of running a stable business with consistent revenues, thus giving her the opportunity to pursue her dream of going to college.
Sandy is part of the Mujeres la Bendición de Patzun Trust Bank, with 11 other women who are also working to improve their lives and the lives of their families (among all of them, they have 31 children). During their monthly loan repayment meetings, Sandy and her fellow Trust Bank members participate in educational lessons on business, money management, self-esteem, women's rights, health and how to support their children's education. These lessons not only provide the women with valuable information regarding their businesses and their family's health, but also foster a community of support among the women. Sandy smiles as she says: "We are thankful for the opportunity of microloans as it helps us to promote our small businesses and improve our quality of life."
Additional Information
About Friendship BridgeThis loan is administered by Friendship Bridge (FB), a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that empowers thousands of impoverished Guatemalan women through its Microcredit Plus program. The program combines small loans averaging US$350 for four-to-twelve month loan terms with non-formal, participatory education.
As FB clients, women start, expand, or diversify their businesses and learn practical lessons on topics including business, health, and self-esteem. FB's clients borrow as a group, forming Trust Banks (groups of 7-25 women who serve as co-guarantors of the loan and act as a self-regulating support network).
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Didymium filters are a not-uncommon off-the-shelf item sold by a bunch of manufacturers including Hoya. They are a notch filter, i.e. they filter out a very narrow slice of spectrum; the ones used for glass blowing filter out the sodium emission line from high temperature glass.
You can have the notch at different wavelengths, which means for photographic use you can buy red-enhancing, green-enhancing and blue-enhancing filters. B&H sells a B+W Redhancer, for the Hoyas I think you need to get on eBay.
And this dpreview thread contains probably all the info you need for photographing glass blowing.

Lash Accelerator Endless is rated out of 5 by 323.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnaBelle718 from From Skeptic to Believer in under $10 BUY it, TRY it, LOVE it!!! I originally purchased this product because of the price (under $10) after I was introduced to another lash accelerator serum sold at my hair salon at their "low introductory price of $62". I almost bought the salon product because I trust my stylist and several of the stylists had proven results. I have very long lashes naturally but recently I had been noticing some periodic thinning in patches which was more than losing a lash or two and I have never experienced thinning lashes in the past, even though I curl my lashes 90% of the time. Of course the first thing I hear in my head is Brooke Shields telling me that I'm getting old and my lashes are going to break and fall out, which is exactly what they want you to think. So after almost grabbing that $62 "bargain" at my hair salon, I decided to see if I could find comparable products at the drug store. My plan was to work up the price ladder until I found a product that gave results and if nothing worked I could always embrace Brooke Shields and give that brand a try. Rimmel Accelerator Endless is the winner with proven results and a really great price. This product proves that you can get wonderful results without spending a lot of money. By day 7, I really started to notice a change in my lashes and now my lashes are much fuller and stronger, a very noticeable improvement to both top and bottom lashes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mcnyk from It actually works!! This is one of the first drugstore mascara's to actually hold my lashes in a curl and length! I love it! It has really nice volume and is not clumpy and lasts all day! My lashes feel great, and it washes off easily.
Date published: 2013-11-04
Rated 3 out of 5 by SmizeMuch from Eh, not impressed...however see explanation! OK so I've been using this and the serum for a solid 3 mos now and definitely see a difference in lenght and thickness (I think I have an additional row of lashes I didn't have before#. I have to admit, I only use this mascara because it has the accelerator in it and I feel like it's the other half of the system... This makes my lashes spidery and the formula seems dry as I can see it sorta caked on each lash. The brush is a little cumbersome when trying to get those individual ones in finishing. What I end up doing is after applying this, I finish with WetnWild Mega Length #you heard me LESS THAN $3!). It cleans up all the clumps, separates and COATS while lengthening. All that said, I still buy and use it daily and belive the accelerator helps.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Erica from My New Favorite Mascara I absolutely LOVE this product - I was so excited to try it out and find that it works so well. My eyes just pop when I use it and it lasts all day. This is now the only mascara for me :) *** I received this product complimentary from Influenster.****

Rated 5 out of 5 by misskitti from An The Winner Is Rimmel I recently had received this in the mail from Influenster. I am totally in love with this mascara. This was a great product to get for trial. I am very picky about my mascara. My eyes water and burn using most mascaras. This was not the case with Rimmel. This is a brand I already trust but had never tried one of the mascara's. I usually use a department store brand which can get expensive. With this product I was able to put it on with out any problems. It worked so well and was long lasting. With my other brand I would have to reapply which I hate to do. This product did make your lashes look fuller. It went on evenly and did not clump or give you that spider leg eye look. It was more of a natural look which I love. It also did not smudge which was a huge plus. I don't always wear mascara and will forget I have it on and will rub my eye and then have to run to the bathroom to fix it. That was not the case with this mascara. Well done Rimmel for making another product that I can trust.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Phoebe from Great Mascara I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster. This was very easy to use. The small wand makes it really easy to get to even the tiniest lashes.

Riot the innocent
Dirty their world until it looks as foul as your's
Muddy blood puddles from cold rainy days in virgin skin pores
And it so pours
This life won't stop until all the poor turn to whores and the rich run the business making profit from the money in their drawers
What the hell's it all for?
Continue the status quo, keep the customers in the store
The cash register's full and they still want more
Greedy fingers twitching on triggers looking to declare war
A civil genocide, Human rich vs Human poor
Another round of beautiful innocence suffocates under the veil of gore
Left to die, ashamed, on the floor
The way of the world, ingrained deep in its core
But what do I know, I'm only a dirty whore
