What is a genuine ministry? Many churches would never say entering into business, or being a part of the business world is one. Yet many books are pushing to promote just that – the idea that a real ministry can also be to enter into business.
Jeff Boswell of Cudis CPN (makers of various electrical products such as distribution boards, rotary isolators and consumer units), agreed to do an in-depth interview with us on his thoughts about Christians in the business world, and how ethics can help shape and progress and company.
Why, or rather, would, God want somebody to view business as a ministry and enter into it?
Well, there are two main answers I think. The first is that we need to provide goods and services as a whole, and the second is to grant us to partake in imaginative and creative tasks that can honour him and serve the wider community as a whole!
Having said that, we must still be careful to hear God's voice in what we do, and ensure the commercial enterprise we enter into is ethical by God's standard. Not every business is equally viewed by God. We need to ask ourselves what is the best way to increase our bottom line, but also serve our community in a positive way as well.
God did create us to work thought, and there is no denying the scripture on that. Work has just evolved since the Old Testament, but the principles still apply. We need to remember that a company and large business only provides chances for work and that God is imaginative, creative and very significant in everything we do – even in the electrical industry! Haha!
What is the function of a company in business?
A company should be focussed on the inside, and the outside. It has to serve its employees on the inside properly, fairly, and justly. It should value them and their contribution, and help grow each individual. In terms of externally, it has to offer products and services that mean something and offer value to the wider community. Sustainability is a fairly new term, but one that fits well I think. You cannot just focus on profit, what you do must give something back too, and be good in the long-term.
It can also focus on partnering with the community and other businesses in order to support a common goal that helps benefit everyone. This then grows the economy as a whole in the right way.
Many books over the last few years have been calling out to us that business can also be a genuine ministry for a Christian, and yet we still feel the need to keep 'banging the drum' about this. Why do you suppose that is?
It is still required as there is still a general feeling that Christian ministry does not include 'business'. When you are in church and somebody says they are entering into a new ministry, nobody thinks it could be opening a curtain shop. So we need to stop these assumptions and try to focus on asking, 'what is the ministry?'.
I have met and spoken to many people in church who feel as though the elders and other members of the congregation feel as though their job is not ministry, and even view it as a 'required evil', or lack of willing to really 'step out for God'. Is this still a valid complaint and point of view?
Unfortunately, I believe it is still very much a concern. I will say I think it is improving in most places though. The church as a whole needs to step up and learn to empower every Christian and 'activate' them into realising what they do in business, can every much be a ministry. They can be a thermostat and help change how things are in the real world.
What can churches do to help empower business people and ensure they understand this?
Get involved. Very often, a church leader will have been disconnected from the 'real' world for some time. They can talk to business people in their church and community, see what they have to deal with and help understand concerns.
Then they need to adjust their thinking. What is a ministry? What defines it? Is it biblical to say work outside of the church isn't counted, or not ordained by God? Wrestling with tradition is what is needed for most churches.
As well as the church thinking poorly of business, don't business people and those outside of the church also think negatively of it? As though the church is soft, and out of touch with the realities of the modern world?
Indeed. There is great misunderstanding on both sides, and I am glad you brought that out of this discussion! Some corporate enterprises can think of themselves as God, without even realising it. They try to control and define what their workers can and can not do, inside and outside of work. To help aid this, we must foster a communication improvement between both, and also involve government, so we each understand how to better work together. A business would then understand that things like 'KPI's' or performance metrics don't fit with a church, but a church provides something else, something which is equally valid for its members, and that the two can work together to ensure the well-being of their members.
With the economy today, as it is, do you still stand by your statement in other articles that you think the free market system is still in the best position than any other to deliver things and deliver services?
We have to be careful – I am not saying, and never will, that markets are perfect. The market operates as it is allowed to, but I still believe government has a strong role to play in ensuring regulation is taking place, and we are protected from large spikes in the economy (positively or negatively). However, I believe a free market is much better than a market wholly controlled by the government or state.
What about other countries where they have more government intervention, such as the Scandinavian countries. They manage to have well-working economies that also provide free healthcare, education and other wonderful social services. Does this align with your ideas better?
Many times in my life people will mistake my ideas and thoughts as of those of a socialist. However, I don't want government completely controlling the economy as I noted earlier – a free market certainly seems better (although not completely free!). What I am trying to put across is that a Christian needs to ensure what they do for a living, or in any business, is aligned with what God would want them to.
Would many Univeristy business courses recognise your vision for Christians and business?
Probably not, but there is a wider train of thought around sustainability as I mentioned earlier. I don't think it would be too far a reach to develop those ideas and tie them into a Christian ethic. My ideas aren't something wild or new, and, in fact, tie into what some thinkers already want – I just attach God and his ethics to them.
Are there any companies out there that practice business as you have outlined? Does Cudis manage it?
We certainly try. I think there are companies out there certainly, but each will have slightly different objectives and visions for those ethics and principles. At Cudis, we try to ensure our products are safe, offer good value, and improve peoples lives. Our focus isn't solely on bottom line profit, but I am sure other companies do the same. We need wider engagement and communication to really push this narrative though.
There are many who would say acting in this manner is a competitve disavangtage in the cut-throat world of business.
They certainly say that, and I'm sure for some companies and industries it is true. But at what cost? Eventually, society will suffer. This is about looking to the future, and doing what is Godly in the business world. That isn't always short-term. Ethics in itself doesn't earn money, but having good principles underlines a long-term successul business in my mind.
What advice can you offer to a Christian who is working at a company that isn't virtuous or Godly?
This is what churches should be addressing today, and helping these people. There is always that fine line of providing for your family, and where the money comes from. Not everyone has the luxury of choice. I think it is a question for each individual Christian to determine what God is calling them to, and seeking the help of the church if they feel they need to be somewhere else.
Being in a company that has a less than acceptable ethic and business is not good. Eventually, the Christian will have to repent before God and move on, or they risk being seen as in sin, or worse, condoning sinful business. For example, I would find it very difficult to work for a tobacco company, knowing their products do no good for society at all, and in fact only harm. I would have to seek an alternative career as it would clash too much with the virtues God has laid out for me.
I wish that the church would help these people navigate the best way in these hard situations and help them understand how their business and activities can help with the overall work God has for us in his kingdom.
Many thanks to Jeff of Cudis CPN for discussing business and Christian ethics with us!

|Heating and Venting Arrangement for a Rotisserie Oven - An oven is used for cooking food and comprises an enclosure having a floor, a ceiling, a back wall, and a pair of side walls. A heating element is disposed on the back wall at a distance from the floor and the ceiling and a shield is disposed between the back wall and the heating element. The shield is configured to receive radiant heat from the heating element and to re-radiate lower frequency radiant heat towards the food. The enclosure may further comprise a door and the side walls may be double paneled. A radial fan is coupled to one of the side walls to pull hot air from inside the enclosure and cooler air from outside the enclosure. The hot and cool air are mixed within a space defined by the double paneled side wall and is directed out over the exterior of the door to cool the door.
|Simplified Device to Quickly Cook Food - A device to bake farinaceous foods such as cakes, cookies, breads, pies, and pizzas more rapidly and flavorfully, with retention of desire food textures and reduced risk of burning by the use of intermittent application of radiant energy. The preferred embodiment rotates farinaceous ingredients in front of a radiant heat source. The preferred embodiment may control oven temperatures by regulating the amount of outside cool air fan forced into the oven cavity.
|Device to Inject Foods with Solid Objects - A device to inject solid materials into foods comprising a piston, a sleeve, and a penetrating tip. Embodiments are described with both segmented and unitary sleeves. Deformation of the tip during storage is minimized by biasing members which withdraw the piston from the tip when an embodiment is not in use. A method is described for flavoring foods with solid objects.
|Enclosed Rotisserie with Detachable Electronic Components - The present invention is directed toward an improved rotisserie oven, having the following features: a removable side mounted control box; single wall oven cabinet construction; single wall oven cabinet construction with tabs protruding from the lower side edges of the oven cabinet which mount feet to support the cabinet; a rigid heat coil structurally connected to the removable control box; a heat coil, supported by a bracket within the oven cabinet which both allows the heat coil to be slid in and out of the oven cabinet and allows for expansion of the heat coil when the coil is energized; a light bulb integrated with the removable control box so that the bulb's globe protrudes into the interior of the oven cabinet when the control box is mounted on the oven cabinet; a drive mechanism integrated into the removable control box which allows the control box to be easily removed from the oven cabinet; a drip pan located below the spit, which has its liquid catching reservoir recessed in from the pan's perimeter; a drip pan cover with an array of small holes recessed into its surface; a spit assembly, whose axis of rotation is located closer to a glass view port located on the oven cabinet's exterior than to the heater located within the oven cabinet; and a spit assembly, whose axis of rotation is located closer to the oven cabinet's loading door than to the top, bottom, back and heat coil within the oven cabinet, using the rotisserie in combination with specific foods and eating schedule, to help people lose weight.
|Rotisserie Oven Having Horizontally and Vertically Oriented Cooking Elements - Indoor use rotisserie ovens which have construction features and scale which make the cleaning process easier. Shown are indoor use rotisserie ovens which also may rotate cooking foods about either a horizontal or vertical axis, which makes their applications more versatile. Construction features include: a scale appropriate for cleaning in a typical kitchen sink, use of removable electrical components, and single oven wall construction, all to allow easy cabinet cleaning. Also shown is a locking tab manufacturing detail which creates an inexpensive, light weight, oven cavity, which is easy to clean and also permits oven cavity washing and/or immersion in water. This manufacturing detail also is easy to handle by the end-user without projecting sharp edges. Self lubricated spit assembly axles are shown as well to help deaden sound.
|Food Cooking Basket for a Rotisserie Oven - Enclosed rotisserie with added convenience, including a countertop resting box-like enclosure housing a safety rear mounted heating element and a power rotated dual rod spit assembly. The gear driven spit assembly may be easily inserted and removed straight into and out of the enclosure without need for angling or coupling the assembly to a power drive socket. The spit assembly may also be mounted at various distances from the heating element to decrease cooking times. The open front of the enclosure is from time to time covered by an inclined glass panel door which may be opened in various ways to facilitate food insertion into and removal from the enclosure, and which may be easily removed for cleaning or other purposes. The embodiment's design makes efficient use of valuable counter space by recessing back and raising off the countertop its controls. A contained light as well as room light emitted through the inclined glass door illuminate the enclosure's interior to make the rotisserie cooking into a taste tempting show. Two countertop supported sizes for the embodiment are suggested, one for larger families and entertaining, and the other for small families and singles. Cooking times are decreased and manufacture simplified by the embodiment heating element remaining on constantly during the cooking process. Maintenance is minimized by various embodiment parts being removable for cleaning including a cleaning shield located behind the heating element, the glass door, and a drip pan with slotted cover. A variety of foods may be cooked using the spit and accessories that attach to the spit. Such accessories include wire baskets and a rotating stir fryer. Foods may be cooked on top of the embodiment as well using an included warming tray and an inserted steaming tray with cover. Grease-tight rotisserie/barbecue gloves make food handling easier and safer, as can also be said for a spit support platform which supports the spit assembly for food mounting and carving. Self-rotating kabob rods cook kabobs on all sides evenly and allow for increasing rotisserie capacity by increasing the length of rotating rods available for rotisserie food mounting.
|ROTISSERIE COOKER - A horizontal axis rotisserie oven with versatile electronic controls. The rotisserie further includes: an improved spit for quick mounting of food, and a door which hides blemishes due to normal use, and easily referenced food cooking indexes, and means for keeping countertops clean.

Matty Sutton, Reporter / / News
THE Commonwealth netball champions are heading to Glasgow in preparation for the Games.
New Zealand's Silver Ferns will play two exhibition matches against the Scottish Thistles at the Emirates Arena, kicking off this weekend.
The home team, who are currently ranked 12th in the international rankings, will take on the New Zealand side in the preliminary rounds of the Commonwealth Games.
The exhibition matches, part of a 16-day UK tour by the Ferns, will give sports fans a taste of what they will see when the teams meet again at the SECC during Glasgow 2014.
The Ferns' coach, Waimarama Taumaunu, said: "This long haul tour is going to be vital to our preparations going forward as it will be the last time we have together before the Commonwealth Games."
Maggie Murray, chief executive officer for Netball Scotland, said, "I will pay any money to watch the top world ranked teams play our beautiful game, and I can't believe that we have this truly unprecedented opportunity to watch the world number ones, the Silver Ferns, play here on our doorstep in Scotland.
"It is my hope that our netball community will be there in their droves and get right into the 'netball experience' just as they did during the World Youth Championships in August."
The games will be held at 6pm on Sunday and at 7pm on Tuesday.
Tickets are £3 for children and £6 for adults for a single game, or £5 for children and £10 for adults for both games. Call Glasgow Life's box office on 0141 353 8000.

MAISON MARCHAND-TAWSE 2012 CHARMES CHAMBERTIN GRAND CRUBURGHOUND 91-93 POINTS: "This is the first wine to really display a lot of wood influence and it's very generous indeed as it dominates the dark berry fruit and earth aromas. There is excellent richness and fine phenolic maturity to the round and seductively textured medium weight flavors that culminate in a dusty, mouth coating and impressively persistent finish. My projected range implicitly assumes that the oak will be successfully integrated with sufficient time in bottle."
VINOUSMEDIA 90-93 POINTS: "(true Charmes, harvested late; 30% vendange entier; racked): Saturated dark red. Very dark, high-pitched, thoroughly ripe aromas of blackberry, licorice and violet. Savory, juicy and intense, with lovely floral lift to the intense blackberry flavor. The tight finish shows very good cut and yet I picked up a faint whiff of nut skin. This needs following." -- Stephen Tanzer

A sputum fungal smear is a laboratory test ordered when a doctor suspects that a fungus (a yeast or mold) may be causing a patient's lung infection. The test is also known as a fungal wet prep or a KOH test (where KOH refers to a potassium hydroxide solution).
Fungi are microorganisms. The sputum fungal smear is one of the best ways to find out if your respiratory illness is caused by a fungus, and if so, what kind. Identifying the microorganism helps your doctor provide the proper treatment.
People with weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable to fungal lung infections. This includes those with AIDS, HIV, or cancer, or people who take immunosuppressant treatments, such as chemotherapy, or transplant antirejection drugs.
Fungal lung infections cause pneumonia- or flu-like symptoms, including:
If left untreated, some species of fungi can also cause meningoencephalitis, which is a serious inflammation of the brain and central nervous system. Symptoms include:
It is important to see a doctor right away if you have symptoms of meningoencephalitis. This disease is serious and can cause permanent neurological damage if left untreated.
If you are very sick, you may already be in the hospital. If so, the bedside nurse will help you cough up sputum to send to the laboratory for the test. If you have trouble coughing up sputum on your own, the nurse may have you breathe steam (hot, moist air) to moisten your airways.
If you are sick at home, you will need to collect the sputum sample yourself.
Keep in mind, however, that sputum from deep inside your lungs isn't the same as saliva. Sputum is mucus, and is usually colored and thick in consistency, especially when there is infection in the lungs. Saliva comes from your mouth and is clear-colored and thin.
Plan to collect sputum the first thing in the morning. This makes the test more accurate. Do not eat or drink anything in the morning before collecting your sample. Your doctor will provide a sterile sample cup. Don't open the cup until you are ready to collect the sample.
To collect a sputum sample:
Take the sample to the clinic or laboratory, as instructed. The sample can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, if needed. Do not freeze it or store it at room temperature.
Tip: If you can't cough up sputum, try breathing the steam from boiling water, or take a hot, steamy shower. The sputum must come from deep inside your lungs for the test to be accurate.
If you still cannot cough up sputum, your doctor will do a bronchoscopy to collect sputum directly from your lungs.
The night before the test, drink lots of fluids, such as water or tea. This will help your body make more sputum overnight. Collecting your sputum in the morning makes the test more accurate. More bacteria are present first thing in the morning.
Bronchoscopy is a simple procedure that takes about 30 to 60 minutes. It is often done in the physician's office, and the patient usually remains awake.
Do not take medicines that thin your blood the day before your bronchoscopy. These medicines include aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve). You may take acetaminophen (Tylenol) if needed for pain. You will also be asked not to eat or drink anything the night before the procedure.
Bronchoscopy is performed as follows:
There are no risks in collecting a sputum sample yourself. You might feel light-headed when coughing deeply. Rare risks of bronchoscopy include allergic reactions to sedatives, infection, bleeding, tearing in the lung (pneumothorax, which results in a little air being released between the lung and chest wall, and usually fixes itself), bronchial spasms (a sudden clenching of the muscles in the bronchioles), and irregular heart rhythms.
The sputum fungal smear is a culture. In a laboratory, the sputum sample is inoculated into a plate of nutrient (culture) media. The nutrient media used for this test is designed to retard the growth of bacteria, while feeding the growth of fungi microorganisms.
Fungi grow slowly, so it may take several weeks to culture and get the test results back.
Later, a susceptibility test may also be ordered to determine the best antifungal agent for treating the infection. The susceptibility test is done on the microorganisms themselves, grown from the original sputum sample you provided.
During treatment, your doctor may collect more sputum samples and have them tested to make sure your medicines are working to eradicate the fungi.
Abnormal results commonly mean that one of these fungi is present:
Normal test results mean you do not have a fungal lung infection.
Although there are more than 50,000 species of fungi, only about 200 cause diseases in humans. Of these, 25 species commonly cause infections (AACC, 2011). There are even fewer fungi species that cause lung infections.
Most fungi grow in moist places, and the lungs are a perfect host environment. From the lungs, infection can spread to the deep tissue and cause systemic diseases, such as septicemia (bacterial blood infection) and meningoencephalitis (brain and central nervous system inflammation).
Fungal lung infections usually start when a person breathes the microscopic spores into their lungs. Most people are not affected and experience only moderate flu-like symptoms. They usually get well on their own without treatment. However, people with weak immune systems can get seriously ill.
Common fungal lung infections include the following:
Aspergillus is a common fungus found in our homes and outdoors. Most people breathe these spores into their lungs every day without being affected. But there are two serious lung infections at-risk people can get from this fungus:
Blastomyces dermatitidis thrives in decomposing wood and leaves in moist forest environments. The symptoms of blastomycosis, the resulting infection, are similar to the flu, including fever, chills, cough, muscle aches, joint pain, and chest pain. If not treated, the infection can spread to other parts of the body, including the skin and bones.
Coccidioides immitis causes coccidioidomycosis, also known as valley fever. The fungus grows in the dust and soil in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and South America. It is a common cause of pneumonia in these areas. Advanced disease symptoms include skin lesions, meningitis, bone/joint infections, and chronic pneumonia.
People most at risk:
Cryptococcus neoformans is found in soil all over the world. It rarely causes infections in healthy people, but is a leading cause of death in people who have HIV/AIDS (CDC, 2012). Cryptococcus can cause pneumonia-like symptoms, spread to other parts of the body, and cause life-threatening illness. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, wheezing, fast heartbeat, and fever. If left untreated, cryptococcus can cause meningoencephalitis with symptoms of fever, lethargy, headache, mental changes, and stiff neck. It can also damage the skin, eyes, bones, and joints.
Histoplasma capsulatum is found in the air and soil around large mounds of bird or bat droppings. Breathing the spores causes histoplasmosis, a pneumonia-like illness that can become serious if not treated. Up to 25 percent of HIV/AIDS patients who live in areas where the fungus is found develop histoplasmosis (CDC, 2012). If untreated, it can spread from the lungs to other organs of the body. Some people also experience joint pain.
In people who have a healthy immune system, most fungal lung infections clear up within one month without treatment.
In immune-compromised people, fungal lung infections can become severe. Antifungal medications may need to be continued for three months to several years. During treatment, immunosuppressant drugs should be stepped down or discontinued to help the body fight the infection.

Have you ever had to call animal control on someone?

Not is in this situation, but I would if I thought the dogs needed attention.
If you observe dogs being abused and/or neglected, then by all means contact the appropriate person. I'm not sure who the appropriate person would be - German Shepherd Club, animal welfare & rescue groups, RSPCA, Animal Control people?
Dogs don't have a voice so if you think they need help - by all means do what you have to do.
I have contacted animal control but it was to do with an aggressive american staffy that kept attacking every single dog it saw, owner ended up euthanasing the dog because the dog turned on her, so this was a different situation to yours. But you are home and you are seeing what is going on, if you feel the dogs need help, then do what you can for the dogs.
if your GSD is eating and eating and eating and losing weight - please consider testing for EPI.

Reading Level 2.8
|Boogie Bay
|Otto, Uncle Tooth, Auntie Hick, Captain Poopdeck, Joe Puffin, Widow Mole, Blackeye Doodle, Ducky Doodle
|Strange things are happening in Boogie Bay: people are seeing ghosts, things are disappearing, and dead pirates are appearing to haunt the townspeople. The residents of Boogie Bay are frightened, and they want answers!
|Otto and Uncle Tooth decide to solve the mystery by following the clues, which lead to a very surprising ending.
|One day, Otto and Uncle Tooth are cleaning out the attic. They find a trumpet, and Uncle Tooth tells Otto he may have it. Otto is very excited and plays the instrument as he walks around the village. On his walk, he learns about a number of robberies. He scares Auntie Hick, who was already jumpy—she believes she has just seen a ghost! Thus begins a series of events that are lead to an adventure for Otto and his friends in Boogie Bay. They believe the robberies done by the ghost of Blackeye Doodles, a pirate who drown at sea. As it turns out, Blackeye's orphan son, Ducky Doodles, is stealing things to survive. He ran away from the orphanage to become a pirate like his father. Otto and Uncle Tooth decide to help Ducky get a job and repay the folks from whom he stole things. Not only do they solve the mystery of the pirate ghost, now that they've had a taste of adventure, they decide to start a detective agency in search of more excitement.
|Curriculum Connections:
|Writing mystery stories, rocks and cave unit
Ask the students if they have ever lost something, and it became a real mystery as to what had happened. Tell them, [This has happened to us all. Our story today is even more exciting! It is a mystery about a pirate!] What other stories do they know with pirates in them?
Have students do the following exercise: Picture yourself near the ocean in a little village where pirates hang out. You hear there are strange things happening, and a long-dead pirate is being blamed for them. How do you feel?
Discuss the elements of a mystery:
Suspense: emotions are touched and we want to keep reading
A hook: something to grab your interest at the beginning of the story
Danger: this can be in the form of risk, intrigue, violence
Foreshadowing: author leaves clues in the story as to the solution
Cliffhangers: a technique used at the end of chapters to keep us reading
Strong characters: usually very interesting, striking characters

On beta expansions for Pisot numbers
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Given a number , the beta-transformation is defined for by (mod 1). The number is said to be a beta-number if the orbit is finite, hence eventually periodic. In this case is the root of a monic polynomial with integer coefficients called the characteristic polynomial of . If is the minimal polynomial of , then for some polynomial . It is the factor which concerns us here in case is a Pisot number. It is known that all Pisot numbers are beta-numbers, and it has often been asked whether must be cyclotomic in this case, particularly if . We answer this question in the negative by an examination of the regular Pisot numbers associated with the smallest 8 limit points of the Pisot numbers, by an exhaustive enumeration of the irregular Pisot numbers in (an infinite set), by a search up to degree in , to degree in , and to degree in . We find the smallest counterexample, the counterexample of smallest degree, examples where is nonreciprocal, and examples where is reciprocal but noncyclotomic. We produce infinite sequences of these two types which converge to from above, and infinite sequences of with nonreciprocal which converge to from below and to the th smallest limit point of the Pisot numbers from both sides. We conjecture that these are the only limit points of such numbers in . The Pisot numbers for which is cyclotomic are related to an interesting closed set of numbers introduced by Flatto, Lagarias and Poonen in connection with the zeta function of . Our examples show that the set of Pisot numbers is not a subset of .

Hey Patrice, don't cry, they've no reason to harm you at all
They don't realize that the angels surround you with light
They don't understand, their narrow ways defeat them where they stand
They don't realize, you hide your sadness beneath a painted smile
Ignorance, that blind old fool who steers a wayward path
Has set the course on which we sail into the night of uncertainty
Following the stars that make their way across the sky
Valuing the love that lends grace to our hearts we sail

Former Wellington Terrace pupils rekindle friendships at Falmouth reunion: PICTURE
/ News
Thirty-two former pupils of Wellington Terrace School in Falmouth attended a recent reunion at Falmouth Bowling Club.
All the men were at the school in 1949, 1950 or 1951. The reunion, which has become a regular event, held on the first Saturday of June each year, gave the former schoolmates a chance to have a pint and recall the "good old days."
Roger "Chico" Sterratt said he was pleased with the good turnout and offered a special word of thanks to his fellow reunion organisers, Tim "Timmy" Penfold and Tony "Nanny" Nancholas.

I don't know about "miracle" nor do I think my hair knows what time it is. So if I use at at all, it's whenever I want.
I like the serum consistency, which spreads nicely through wet hair making it slightly easier to brush. The fragrance is pleasant and it does silken my hair, making the curls nice and soft. If I use too much, it does feel a little weighed down but not in a greasy, disgusting way. I use MUCH less conditioner because of this product, keeping it cleaner longer. Also, being a leave-in, it doesn't cause build-up on my scalp.
I recommend for all hair types, even oily, because it's not too heavy but does create very silky locks.

This product is no 'miracle'. It is simply a waste of money. This product does nothing! I have very dry, damaged ends and applied this to my hair for two weeks. Like 10 minutes after applying it my hair felt *slightly* softer, but that is it. Then in the morning it was still as dry and damaged as ever. This did nothing for me. I would not recommend.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium

My hair is highlighted and dry until I happened to find this at Walgreens on clearance.
I had so much faith in the promises it made, I bought the remaining (6). The consistency is very creamy, rich and really stands behind its promise. Smooth, soft and healthy looking (and feeling) hair. I shampooed with the Pantene Age Defy then used the Overnight Miracle and had a great sleep, didnt leave residue on my pillow and awoke to a beautiful, soft, shiny head of hair. I was surprised this product worked so well to be non- salon. It actually made my hair easier to style and voluminous.

Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brown, Other, Medium

My hair is fried. I bought this in desperation and put it on. WOW!!! It softened my hair so much. Feels like silk and has some weight to it not all fly away and frizzy. Well ill update in a few days. For the first time use though. Its amazing. Smells great. Its a liquidy creamy texture. Love it.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
This product is like a moisturizer for your HAIR! It makes it smell like honey, and keeps it light and fluffy! I LOVE THIS STUFF! It's my hair staple. I don't know why reviews aren't better :(
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Green
I think overnight miracle is a pretty accurate description for this product. I have now used it 3-4 times with fantastic results. I have dry, curly, color processed hair that can be pretty wiley. I smooth a few pumps in before bed then put my hair in a topknot. When I wake up, I have magical glowing tresses. The before and after is quite dramatic. Highly recommend trying this product!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Relaxed, Fine
Eyes: Brown
My hair has coloured lowlights, and it has become very dry, brittle, and damaged. I was in the market for something like the Garnier hair oil to help tame the frizz and dryness. At first, the serum seemed to do the trick. But a few days later, my hair got drier and drier. It felt "chalky" too, like there was too much product built up. I used around 8 pumps for my hair which maybe a lot, but I've tried using less but it didn't help either. Overall, I don't love it at all :(
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I don't really understand why the reviews for this aren't better. I've tried everything from Kerastase to Serge Normant, Fekkai, and Alterna. I tried this because it was on the counter at my sister's house when I was going to sleep one night. I actually thought it was a sleep-in conditioner, like one that Fekkai makes (you would put it in and wash your hair the next morning). However, when I woke up expecting to have to deal with styling, my hair was so soft and smooth that I opted not to wash it that day. Note: Before bed, I only applied it through the mid-length to ends of my hair, and maybe a little at the very end of my sideswept bangs -- nothing near the roots. I don't think it's meant to be a deep conditioner; more of a styling product, but I use it as a combination.
I'd recently done a color correction in a salon to go back to blonde after being brunette for two years. This really is a miracle as far as I'm concerned. I purchased a bottle when I got home, and I use it once a week. I can't imagine using it daily as I noted another reviewer saying, or even washing my hair daily. That would be way too much for any colored hair, I think. Anyhow, highly recommend!
Age: 36-43
Skin: Oily, Olive, Cool
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I got a great deal at Wags for this ($1.66 on sale after the $5 off 3 coupon) so I decided to try it out. I've been using this for a week, and I'm so not impressed. I do not use heat tools on my hair but I do color it about 4 times a year, so it's dry. I've used this while my hair was wet and dry, and there is no difference in the effect. It provides a subtle softening effect, but my hair still does not look smooth. Pantene used to make an awesome product called Silkening which was AMAZING. Wish they hadn't discontinued that.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
This product actually worked amazingly well for me! I see that a lot of people have negative things to say about it but after one night of using it I woke up to soft, smooth, and less damaged looking hair!
My hair is usually frizzy and this worked extremely well!
Would buy this again forr sureee! :)

1985 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Review
Comfortable, did not expect it to be as comfortable as it is, fast, handling is amazing, resurgence of horsepower from Chevrolet.
Bose stereo system installed by factory has history of going bad, amps are expensive to replace, harmonic balancer also has history of failure causing timing issues
Overall Alot Of Car For The Money — This is my first corvette and it has not disappointed. Fast strong and stuck to the road. You look out over that long hood and know that its just you and the motor and she inspires you to use all 230 horses. Confidence is what this car makes in spades, you know she will run wild but the brakes also will regain control and bring to you down to reality when needed. She temps you to hit corners faster and hammer you way out.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Performance Is Outstanding — I fell in love with the looks of this model when it came out in 1984 but I waited until the '85 model to buy one. I have owned it since new. The car has always lived up to my hopes. after 28 years it still turns heads.

handling is tight,seats comfortable,great bose speakers,
dash electrics malfunction whether you have 100 miles on car or 10 thousand.
Top American Sports Car In 1985 — i bought this 1985 corvette with 3200 original miles on it,drove it home and it has resided in mygarage ever since.i have driven it a total of 700 hundred miles,this car is not a driver or weekend car.it is driven once or twice a year and not very far.i would like to really drive it more and get to know it better but i think it should be kept as an investment car and for someone else down the road to do the same.

The car is a pleasure to drive. It looks and sounds like it should be on the race track with very little prep work. I bought a true classic hot rod for under $5000.00 with very little work done after the purchase of the car. Over, all I am pleased with my weekend sunday racer.
This car is hard to enter and exit. Once inside the car, the gauge cluster is difficult to read and see. Lots of road noise, vibrations and rattles which can be expected from an 80's model auto.
Race Ready — Like: I like the new carburated 350 engine. The factory fuel injected engine has been replaced with a higher HP 350 with a simple Edelbrock Carburator. It gets 20 MPG, no computers to deal with, and winds out quickly. Dis-Like: I dont like the plastic interrior, which is typical for the 80's model Chevys. I dont like the electronic dash cluster. Difficult to view. Ride is terrible, but is a sacrifice for road handeling.

It's a Corvette
Expensive to repair
Fun Car To Have, Pay Someone Else To Fix It Though. — This car is a great car to drive. It turns alot of heads especially when you have one when youre 16-19 years old. It handles great, but can feel a little loose in rear end because it is so light. As a stock car and before someone really beats on it the build quality of these cars is great, just don't get in an accident, they're fiberglass. They are not the fastest corvettes made because of the gas crunch of the time and thanks to EPA. They are one of the first good handling corvettes made. Be carefull in buying them though, alot of people like to cover up accidents on these cars, and it can be difficult to find them in good shape. As I was repainting mine, I had to sand through 13 layers of paint, 3 of which were top coats, so this is the 4th time this car has been painted. Cost of ownership?????? Comon, it's a corvette, everything for this car is double what it is for any other car.... it does get surprisingly good gas mileage though, when youre being nice to it. Oh and the manual tranny in these made a huge difference, Ive driven both and my automatic is sooo slow compared to the manual. Overall this is a very fun car to drive, a bit bumpy as you can expect from an 85 street car, but more cost effective for low budget people, and also still a head turner.

So now, here is Rainbow Dash and all of her awesomeness as well as Twilight in the background. This is a continuation of the farmer and princess at war pieces. I listened to the comments and critiques from my previous pictures and tried my best to address them in this one but I know I still have a ways to go. I'm learning but I am happy with this piece; it was fun to make and practice on. If I do continue to do these, I'll probably do Fluttershy next. Hope you all like this.
I really like this. I especially like how different Twilight's, AJ's, and RD's armor styles are. I also love the spears and arrows scattered around the background and foreground - it adds depth and complexity without being distracting. However, in my personal opinion, any piece that focuses on a single pegasus should show their entire wingspan, so maybe instead of drawing Twilight in the background, finish off Rainbow's wings, maybe put armor on them seeing as how they are the most exposed, even more than her legs or head. Other than that though I love this piece. The cliff terrain is detailed and realistic, and the lighting work on Rainbow's armor is excellent as well. Great job as always.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
13 out of 13 deviants thought this was fair.
these are great! this series feels like phantasy star meets mlp
excellent work i love armor
This is so radical!! Spectacular details
Ponies in armor and kicking tail; my fatal weakness.
Big Pony Puff
epic zt first i thought it was an eva~evangelion anime!
Well thank you, no idea about the anime though
Very, very nice!
Can we expect one of the for each of the Mane Six? Or just Fluttershy?
Can we expect one of the for each of the Mane Six? Or just Fluttershy?
Rainbow Dash, distant descendent of Commander Hurricane and Firefly proving she is true to her blood. A pegasus is born a warrior and, in times of war, she takes to that role without question or hesitation. Besides, the egghead and AJ need somepony to watch their flanks during this whole stupid situation.
wOAH!! Totally blown away, would love to critique it but i can't honestly find a single fault with it so would have nothing constructive to say.
Cool !
Nice draw!
Nice draw!
damn...badass doesn't even come close
Amazing work as always!
Wow! Pretty speechless on this one, really badass man
