This just plain didn't work for me. It did NOTHING to remove my waterproof mascara. I guess that's what I get for $1.

Everyone has commented about it stinging or not getting makeup off completely with just one pad. My routine is to wash my face with a face wash and then go over my eyes to get off what didn't come off with the face wash. This works like magic for me so maybe others are using the makeup remover prior to washing their face? There is MILD stinging if it gets in your eyes but since it is a cruelty-free product, I am willing to sacrifice. Also, the little plastic tub it comes in is PERFECT for my makeup bag since it is little and I can use a pad to fix a makeup boo-boo in a pinch while I'm away from home. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 overall rating is because I'm new to the whole makeup thing so I haven't really shopped around for other makeup removers to be able to make a fair comparison. However, for what it is and how much it costs, it's a fabulous buy!

I'm a pretty big fan of ELF products. But this one totally missed the mark for me. I had high hopes being that it is only $1 vs the $8 eye makeup remover that I already use.
They dry out quick. With the packaging it's easy to get the the lid on wrong. I also felt like I was scratching at my eye. I don't have sensitive eyes either.. I'm 20 years old and have worn contacts for 8 years now, so I mess with my eyes alot. But my gosh this stuff burned! Not for taking off the eyeliner/mascara on the bottom lash line area. When you avoid the lower lashline and use it for the top it just smears everything. I ended up having to use 2 pads for one eye.. and if I recall they only have 18 to a pack. It also left an oily residue all over my eye area. Which i hate.
So in my opinion this is horrible. I'd much rather pay more money for something that DOES NOT harm my eyes and smear stuff all over my face.

this eye makeup remover pad stung my eyes when I used it. I had to hurry and rinse my eyes off with water. It did not dry up on me but it was only $1. I tried it but I won't buy again unless it is an emergency.

I purchased this item of course because it was $1!!! However, the quality was worth the dollar I spent! It did not do a good job of removing my eye makeup & when I got too close to my eye it stung sooooo badly! Not the best e.l.f. product to purchase...

These makeup remover pads did take off all my eye makeup but like most reviewers said, it stung my eye badly! Also, i find that this product dries up pretty fast. Even though it was only $1, I don't think i would ever buy this again.

I like a lot of E.L.F. products so I was really disappointed by these makeup remover pads. They did remove most of my makeup and were only $1.00, but they stung my eyes. There are many better eye makeup remover pads out there, so I would not recommend buying these.

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

These are awesome!! I use one pad for both my eyes, using one side for each eye. Sometimes I use one pad per eye if my makeup is especially heavy or dark. These inexpensive pads wipe away my black liquid liner easily, and the only downfall is that you have to work a little to get your mascara off. But for $1 for 18, I will not complain!

I was not impressed by this so I am happy I only paid $1. It did not do a good job removing my eye makeup. I bought this thinking this would be great for traveling, but I ended up having to run out of my hotel and buy some drugstore eye makeup remover. I gave it a lippie because it is cheap.

Lackey pitches Red Sox over Rangers
|Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts, top, leaps over Texas Rangers left fielder Shin-Soo Choo as he turns a double play during the eighth inning of a MLB American League baseball game at Fenway Park, Monday, April 7, 2014, in Boston.(AP Photo/Charles Krupa)
BOSTON (AP) — John Lackey pitched seven strong innings, Jackie Bradley Jr. singled in two runs and the Boston Red Sox snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday night.
The Red Sox never lost more than three straight last year when they won the World Series. They avoided dropping their first four home games for the first time since 1984.
Lackey (2-0) allowed an unearned run and five hits in seven innings five days after giving up two runs over six innings in a 6-2 win at Baltimore. Chris Capuano pitched the eighth and Koji Uehara escaped a second-and-third jam in the ninth in a non-save situation.
Tanner Scheppers (0-1) allowed Bradley's run-scoring hits in the second and fourth, and Boston added three runs in the eighth.
Bradley, Mike Napoli and A.J. Pierzynski each had three singles for the Red Sox.
Boston took a 1-0 lead in the second on an RBI single by Bradley after singles by Xander Bogaerts and Pierzynski.
Texas tied it in the fourth on singles by Adrian Beltre and Alex Rios, a passed ball and a sacrifice fly by Mitch Moreland.
Bradley came through again in the fourth with another run-scoring single after Pierzynski singled and went to third on a single by Jonathan Herrera.
The Red Sox stranded runners at second and third in the fifth after Napoli and Grady Sizemore singled and both advanced on a passed ball. Pierzynski ended the inning by striking out.
Then the Rangers left runners at second and third with a chance to tie the game in the seventh. The threat ended when J.P. Arencibia grounded out to second as Lackey pounded his glove while walking off the mound after facing his final batter.
But the Red Sox wasted a chance to extend their lead in the seventh when Bogaerts struck out with runners at second and third and two outs against Seth Rosin.
Boston reached Rosin for three runs in the eighth when Pierzynski singled, went to second on a walk to Herrera and scored when Bradley bunted for a single and first baseman Prince Fielder threw wildly for an error. The other runs scored on a single by Daniel Nava and a fielder's choice groundout by Dustin Pedroia.
NOTES: Elvis Andrus and Rios have hits in each of Texas' seven games. ... Martin Perez (0-0) pitches for Texas against Felix Doubront (1-0) in the second game of the three-game series Tuesday. ... Rangers manager Ron Washington said Yu Darvish, whose first start was delayed until last Sunday by back stiffness, will have his usual four days off before pitching Friday even though Texas has an off day Thursday. Scheppers' next start will be pushed back to the weekend. ... The Red Sox signed free-agent infielder Ryan Roberts and sent infielder Brock Holt to Triple-A Pawtucket. ... The Rangers placed LHP Joe Saunders on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left ankle.

For years PC users could be found chomping at the bit over Art Lebedev Studio's oft delayed Optimus Maximus OLED keyboard, and for those patient enough to stay excited through the numerous setbacks and vaporware accusations, the end result was an input device that now sells for over $1,800. Ouch. Such is the price we pay as early adopters of new devices, but if the technology behind a joint collaboration between the U.S. Display Consortium and Plextronics comes to fruition, expect to see more affordable OLED gadgets in the very near future.
The USDC has a history of funding Plextronics, having handed them $1.8 million back in early 2007 to work on increasing the lifetime and efficiency of OLED displays, and the two seem intent on bringing OLEDs into the mainstream. That mission moves one step forward today, as the two announced the completion of a $590,000 project aimed at producing a new hole injection layer (HIL) technology that the two companies hope will lead to lower cost OLED displays." Entrepreneurial companies like Plextronics are creating new technologies capable of commercial-scale performance and manufacturability ," said Michael Ciesinski, USDC's CEO. Let's hope they're successful, and that the next OLED peripheral doesn't require a payment plan.

text:
The only explanation for Skyler's decision to stay is that she still loves Walt and -- as she tells her divorce lawyer -- she is desperate to prevent her son from finding out his father is a meth cook. Her husband and son have become her "gods," whom she values more than the one true God.
In such cases, Jesus does not mince words: "And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me."
But the most incessantly proved lesson of "Breaking Bad" is about the greatest sin of all: pride. Other than Dante's Lucifer or Shakespeare's Iago -- and, of course, the Bible's Judas -- there is no better study of the sin of pride than "Breaking Bad's" Walter White.
A high school chemistry teacher, Walt starts out as a sympathetic character -- even if you don't totally buy that a basically good guy would turn to cooking methamphetamine to provide for his family before he dies of lung cancer. But throughout five seasons, we watch him become irredeemably evil because of his pride.
Contrarily, Walt's DEA agent brother-in-law, Hank Schrader, is something of a buffoon at the beginning of the series. But because of his godly choices -- the polar opposite of Walt's -- he ends up becoming not only an extremely likable person, but a deeply good and heroic one. Even his stupid jokes get funny.
He is the manly one.
It's Hank whom Walt's underage son calls after being arrested for trying to buy beer. Hank's the one who warns the son about drug use by taking him to meet Wendy the meth-addict whore. Hank is the voice of gentle rectitude when Walt monstrously gets his son so drunk he throws up into the pool.
Along with some normal human imperfections, Hank embodies all the Christian virtues -- patience, diligence, humility, kindness. Indeed, Hank is the only character who always seems to be helping everyone else with their problems -- shoplifting, marital separation, cancer, "fugue" states -- rather than burdening them with his own.
(In accordance with Hollywood's modern Hays Code prohibiting any realistic depiction of Christianity, there is none in "Breaking Bad" -- which is even weirder than the fact that everyone on the show is still using flip phones. In real life, Hank, Skyler and Jesse would have been throwing themselves on their knees, praying to Jesus -- in which case the series would have ended with my favorite five minutes of television ever, other than the first Romney-Obama debate: Hank arresting Walt.)
What's so fabulous about Walt's descent into darkness is that the audience is tricked into joining Walt's temporizing -- at least through his first few steps.
One of the earliest and most subtly cruel of Walt's bad acts (subtle only in the sense that no one dies) is his allowing a high school janitor to be humiliated and arrested in front of the entire school, accused of stealing the lab equipment that Walt himself had purloined to make meth.
We've met the janitor before. He was kind to Walt, cleaning up after finding him throwing up in a school bathroom from the chemo, and offering him chewing gum.
But we went along with the sacrifice of this good man, barely giving it another thought. Yes, it was a tough break for him, but at least our hero Walt was off the hook! The important thing was, Walt was safe from the inquiries of his bloodhound brother-in-law. Whew!
Worst of all, when Walt watches Jesse's girlfriend, Jane, choke to death on her own vomit -- inadvertently caused by Walt's jostling Jesse, flipping Jane onto her back -- we rejoice. We don't even wince, as we did with the blameless janitor. Jane was trouble: She had blackmailed Walt and threatened to blackmail him again. She also had turned Jesse onto heroin. Good. She's dead.
In this way, the viewers are tricked into being co-conspirators with Walt. But, luckily, we are only observers. We can escape Walt's choices. He can't.
Soon, we begin to realize that Walt's first malevolent acts -- the ones we went along with! -- made it easier for him to rationalize the next one and the next, until there's no limit to what he won't do, including violently attacking his wife, kidnapping his infant daughter, ordering the murder of his virtual-son, Jesse, and, perhaps most sinisterly, coldly informing Jesse that he had stood and watched as Jane choked to death.
He hadn't made any of these increasingly depraved moral choices for "his family" -- as he finally admits in the last episode. It was for himself, to feed his pride.
Walt followed his "personal ethics" -- which Pope Francis has reportedly said is good enough for God. "Breaking Bad" demonstrates what the Proverbs teach: There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

Aging population, fewer business start-ups restrain Wisconsin job growth, report says
Job growth in Wisconsin has largely lagged behind the nation since the mid-1990s, held back by our age and apparent reluctance to take risks, according to a report by the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. The sobering report shows the work force has failed to keep up with even the weak growth seen in the rest of the country since the 2001 recession. »Read Full Article

Yikes: Fewer Then 3 in 10 Teens Now Hold Summer Jobs
Add to the list yet another reason why President Obama's assertion last week that "the private sector is doing fine" is woefully out of touch with what's happening in America.
Fewer than three in 10 American teenagers now hold jobs such as running cash registers, mowing lawns or busing restaurant tables from June to August. The decline has been particularly sharp since 2000, with employment for 16-to-19-year olds falling to the lowest level since World War II.
And the statistics for minority, low-income teens are even grimmer. Blacks, Hispanics and teens in lower-income families were least likely to be employed in summer jobs.
Hispanics in families making less than $40,000 faced difficulties (19 percent employed), while middle-class black teens with family income of $75,000-$100,000 did moderately better, at 28 percent employed. For African-American teens whose family income was less than $40,000 a year, 14 percent are employed, compared to 44 percent of white teens with family income of $100,000-$150,000.
Teen employment may never return to pre-recession levels, suggests a projection by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

NLM Georgia Biomedical Informatics Course
I recently attended the NLM Georgia Biomedical Informatics Course at the lovely Brasstown Valley Resort in Young Harris, GA. This week-long semiannual course is hosted by the Robert B. Greenblatt, M.D. Library, Georgia Regents University and funded by the National Library of Medicine. If you've ever heard library colleagues talk about the Woodshole course, this is the current version of that course. The content changes every session, which is necessary in such a fast moving field.
Attendees were a nice mix of librarians, clinicians, researchers and others involved in medical information technology. Instructors who are in the forefront of their field came from around the country to teach in this prestigious course. I found it to be a great overview of current important topics in informatics, and I learned so much about the breadth of this essential field from both the instructors and the other attendees. We also did some networking and shooting pool at the local watering hole, Brassies.
Read more to see what was covered (and some cool pictures from a field trip we took)
Join an MLA Committee….NOW!
These last few weeks I have been traveling to the chapter meetings (and participating in the virtual chapter meeting) and during my MLA Update I remind people that engagement within MLA is important to members building their own value within the organization. One of the best ways to be engaged is to join an MLA Committee.
Time is running out, you must submit an application to join a committee by October 31, 2015.
Over the years I've written several posts about joining an MLA Committee, here is a "Behind the Scenes" post which gives a detailed account of the process.
Primary things to remember when joining a committee:
- The process is kind of similar to the Match for medical students. The MLA President elect officially assigns members to committees. However, we go by the requests and input from the committee chairs and the member application requests.
- When applying for a committee pleas list your interests or experience for the committee you wish to join. This helps the committee chairs who are looking for people and it helps the President elect.
- Apply for more than one committee. Some committees are very popular and there may be several people for 2 spots. Applying for more than one committee increases your chances of being on a committee you want.
- Seriously consider selecting "Any Committee". This is very helpful to chairs and the President Elect. This also increases your chances of being on a committee.
We try very hard to make sure everyone is assigned to a committee but if you don't fill everything out or list only one committee it makes things very difficult.
Last year when I assigned committee members I worked with a giant spread sheet of member requests, a giant spread sheet of chair requests, and a spreadsheet listing every committee applicant so I could check off that they got assigned to at least one committee. Thankfully I have 2 computer monitors so I could keep track of it all.
So please apply to join a committee it is a great way to get involved.
First ever all-virtual conference
I love conferences: meeting other librarians, learning about new products and services, and getting great ideas from others' innovative projects. However, it is always hard to get away to go to conferences. Both the time and funds can be hard to find. This is why I was so excited for the first-ever virtual conference by the Midcontinental Chapter of the Medical Library Association (MCMLA). This was also the first ever all-virtual meeting of any MLA chapter in the history of the organization. I did not have to find money in my budget or time in my schedule, but still was able to attend many informative conference sessions. And, I got to attend the conference while wrapped in my fleece blanket.
I know the virtual conference has been years in the making from many dedicated librarians, but they made it look easy. Also, Elsevier, McGraw-Hill, Wolters Kluwer, and Rittenhouse agreed to participate in this experiment and gave presentations about their new products. Overall, the conference had great presenters, engaged participants, and moved smoothly past the few, small technical glitches that occurred.
Check out #MCMLA2015 to see the Twitter discussions during the conference and go to the MCMLA conference page for more details about the meeting and the poster that was presented at MLA 2015 about the virtual conference. I hope this is only the beginning of associations experimenting with virtual conferences and exploring alternative ways of sharing ideas and research with each other.
Going down the one person library rabbit hole
My only other co-worker is transferring to another hospital at the end of the month so I will soon becoming a truly one person library, hopefully only temporary but it could be permanent. In any case, at least for a few months I'll be on my own.
Now I need to figure out how to organize my workday to cover two set of job duties. I have so many questions. Do I sit at the reference desk every day, or do I split my day between the reference desk and my office? I'm not full time. Do I work 4 8 hours days and one 4 hour day, or do I spread my hours evenly over 5 days?
Then comes the fun stuff – prioritizing my work. Figuring out how to balance ILLs, searches, technical issues, renewals and other library administrative tasks. Oh, and I forgot to mention the library is moving. Every task is a priority but some have more visible results than others.
Hopefully this will be a temporary situation but on the off chance it isn't I'll be documenting my journeys down this rabbit hole. Any comments or thoughts are more than welcome!
Preparing for National Medical Librarians Month
Several years ago, the Medical Library Association declared October National Medical Librarians Month. The theme for this year is "Are you a Risk Taker? When you need to be right, ask your medical librarian." Check out the free available materials at http://www.mlanet.org/p/cm/ld/fid=320.
Will you use those materials or design your own using your library logo and colors? Will the library logo show up on your giveaway pencils, pens, totes, flashlights, caps, magnet, or drinking bottles? Will there be a contest to guess the number of gummy worms in a jar or a contest to guess the number of your institution's authors displayed on a table trifold? Have you put together quick facts about the Library? Have you designed a special banner for your website?Have you scheduled product demos, a book signing, guest speaker or an art show reception? Will you introduce a new service, a new product or your staff members?
Take advantage of this opportunity to promote and celebrate your Library.
Happy National Medical Librarians Month!
Join this conversation and share your plans with your colleagues.

The Incidental Informationist is officially an informationist!
I recently found out that the NLM Administrative Supplement for Informationist Services that I am included on received funding! This opportunity is very exciting to me because I will be working on an interesting project with a great group of people.
I will be providing data curation services for an R01 project by Dr. Katerina Kechris that generated a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) dataset from an inbred mouse panel. The mice are closely related, but have known genetic differences. They also exhibit an array of behavioral traits that relate to alcohol use disorders, such as ethanol sensitivity, tolerance and consumption. The NGS dataset is limited to a small RNA molecules known as micro RNAs (miRNAs). These molecules typically regulate gene expression rather than getting read by ribosomes to make protein, as the central dogma dictates. The goal of this project is to discern whether expression any of these miRNAs correlates with the alcohol use phenotypes mentioned above. Additionally, these miRNAs are closely related to those in humans, which could give clues to the mechanisms of alcohol use disorders in humans.
The mouse panel that the NGS samples came from can be used for much more than this alcohol use disorder study, and Dr. Kechris had already written in her R01 proposal that she wanted to share this resource with the research community in the PhenoGen database. Thus, we proposed the following Aims to increase the usability of this dataset by other research groups:
Aim 1 Make the NGS data, appropriate metadata, and code publicly available.
I will deposit the raw data in the NCBI databases along with appropriate metadata, or data that describes their data, to give it context and reusability. I will also deposit the code that they have used to clean and analyze their data to GitHub, so other people can repeat their analyses. This aim also supports a web programmer who will add functionality to the PhenoGen database to support this new dataset. We are also creating an entry for our institutional repository to link all this information together and to our campus.
Aim 2 Create tutorials to show other researchers how to use these data.
All the information is on the web, so it should be usable, right? Well we're going to make it even easier to use these data by making tutorials in a variety of formats: video, text/static images, and Guide on the Side. These resources will also be referenced on the repository entry.
Aim 3 Evaluate the efficacy of Aims 1 and 2.
Finally, we will evaluate whether the first 2 aims are effective. I will do this by tracking data download and citation statistics, and by including assessments within the tutorials to evaluate their efficacy.
I'm so excited about this project! I can't wait to get started. Now I just need to figure out how grant funding works here.
Questions and feedback are, of course, welcome.

Demo-ing Apps in the Classroom
Does anyone have any handy tips they use for demo-ing mobile resources in their workshops and presentations to students, residents, nurses etc? I just happened upon a very neat new (at least to me) feature in Chrome that I had not noticed in the "inspect element" development tool, which I occasionally use to look at source code for troubleshooting purposes. If you're not confident about, responsible for, or interested in coding intricacies, you may not have ever explored this set of tools, and while there are a number of interesting and useful features for the non-techie person, this trick really jumped out at me as being something that I could immediately incorporate into my everyday work.
Apologies in advance for the many readers who are in institutions that don't support Chrome. I weep for you daily. For the rest, here are the instructions:
When you right-click on a page in chrome, or CTRL-shift-I, you'll see an option at the bottom of the list to "inspect element". There's an icon in the lower panel of the display, which shows the code, that represents a mobile/tablet device, and which, if clicked, resets the page to display as if it were on such a device. At the top of the page, there is also a drop-down menu with options for specific devices, so you can display a page which emulates the display of different iPhone models, iPads, Android devices- even BlackBerry (in case you are going back in time to do an instruction session.)
I need a vacation after my co-worker's vacation…
As I stated in my introductory post, I work in a One Librarian Library. I have a .24 FTE library tech. Time manages us more than we manage it.
I dread the middle of August. That is when my co-worker goes on vacation every year. So, last week I was alone. The time alone caused me to gain a greater appreciation of actual One PERSON Libraries. I don't know how they manage to get everything done. Everything is important to everybody.
So I sat down each morning and had to decide who I would make happy and who I wouldn't. Do I do searches or do I process Interlibrary Loans? I think the only thing I new for sure that week was that journal renewals would not be on my radar. Especially after I discovered that EBSCO had migrated us over to their Full Text Finder product.
I finally decided that I should try to make each group at least a little happy. I divided up my day into three parts. I spent the first 3rd of my day doing searches. Spent the next 3rd processing article requests. Spent the last 3rd getting myself up to speed on the new product. Did it work? As best as it could I suppose.
I would love to read in the comments how other OPL's or OLL's do it. What are your tips and tricks that keep you sane?
Searching in a Comparative Effectiveness Research Way
I know you have been thinking and searching in an evidence based way, but have you switched to thinking in a broader comparative effectiveness way? The mantra for EBP is "based on the evidence available to me today, I will practice." The mantra for CER starts there and pays attention to real life settings and can have different sizes to the populations. So, for CER, the mantra chatted is, "what works best for what populations in real world settings." EPB and CER involve experiences of the health care provider, what the literature shows and the preferences of the patient.
There are 4 main ways to search for CER information, PubMed Health, PubMed Topic Specific Queries-Comparative Effectiveness Research, ANDing effectiveness[sb] to your strategy, or just ANDing the phrase "comparative effectiveness" to your search strategy.
PubMed Health http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/ searches in an clinical effectiveness way. It is geared for the lay public. It has topic reviews, systematic reviews, guidelines and a drug database. When you search PubMed Health, you are searching PubMed at the same time. Be more general in your search topic. It is not a huge database.
Get to PubMed Topic Specific Queries-Comparative Effectiveness Research from the PubMed front page or http://www.nlm.nih.gov/nichsr/cer/cerqueries.html. Put your topic in the search box and click on All for CER results. Notice also you can select a type of study, health disparities, costs and cost analysis or CER as topic.
ANDing effectiveness[sb] to your search strategy is the same as clicking on the Topic Specific Queries-CER page.
Remember you want to search PubMed with words, phrases and MeSH to retrieve all the citations, including inprocess, supplied by publisher or PubMed Central papers. So the phrase "comparative effectiveness" will bring citations for all of PubMed, including the MeSH term, comparative effectiveness research.
Try out any of these methods and send in your comments and questions.

Psalm 23King James Version (KJV)
23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I ordered this for my grandmother who had her gallbladder removed two years ago. Since the surgery she would often get diarrhea after eating certain types of foods. She takes one Digestive Aid before lunch and dinner and she is feeling much better. She rarely gets diarrhea now. After the gallbladder is removed your body no longer can produce certain digestive enzymes to break down certain foods, especially fats. Carlson Labs Digestive Aid #34 helps to supplement the body with these missing enzymes to make digestion without a gallbladder easier. I would recommend this product to anyone who has had their gallbladder removed!
My nutritionist recommended this after I could not take the ox bile she had given me due to upsetting my stomach. This seems to work great with out the problem of stomach upset and indigestion.

You need to find your path in life and it isn't as easy as it sounds. The journey of life has always held a fascination for me. The twists and turns. My longing to make a difference to the world. To leave behind a legacy driven by my passions and by my pursuit of my life dreams.
I want to ask you a question today. Have you ever had one of those moments? You know, a moment when everything just seemed right and life felt so good.
There are certain moments in our lives that shape our future. They put us on a path to the career, relationship or purpose that is destined especially for us. These defining moments may come to us completely unexpectedly, or they may come to us at our beckoning, like a vision in a meditation or an answer to a prayer. When they show up, they cannot be ignored or denied. When they show up, you will know it.
Defining moments are very much like ah-ha moments. They are those beautiful split seconds of time when a thought strikes us that is so profound that we know it has been within us forever, yet it seems that we are seeing it clearly for the very first time. It is like finding buried treasure? They feel like a light bulb moment, when you just know without a doubt this is right for you.
Without a doubt every-one of us has experienced emotions of unhappiness, discontentment and frustration. Many of these feelings arise because feel lost and without direction with respect to life. When we are on the wrong path we find ourselves living a life that is empty and shallow of purpose and we find ourselves withdrawn from life; when we are wondering where we went wrong and if this is all there is.
We cannot control our path in life, but we can get lost and lose our way. We may end up in a different place then we are meant too, but we can always find our way back. It is dependent on whether you choose to do what feels right to us or if choose you to ignore it because you are trying to live the life you think you should be living. When we follow our instincts and listen to our heart, we will always know which path to choose. So if in your past you lost your way, know you can find it again. Know that with an open our heart and an open mind, you can begin to follow your path and find your destiny. By letting go of control and your idea about your future, you can instead exist in a way that allows your destiny to slide into your present with you.
This article today was inspired by a conversation with Loddy Micucci. He is someone you will get very familiar with because he will now be a regular author on this blog. I'm sure he won't object to me revealing a little about him, although not too much because I'd rather leave that to him. At one point, he was journeying down a path covered with weeds, heavy brush and rough terrain. He was fighting his way through every step until one day he stopped fighting. He let go. He realised life shouldn't be this tough.
He felt that nagging tug in the depth of his being, that to get where he wanted to go, to find the right path, he must change, and change he did. Sometimes change is about taking the road less travelled, sometimes it is about going back and beginning again, accepting that you're currently on the wrong road, other times it is about letting go, and letting the right path find its way to you.
He proved it is possible to find the right path. The how, well truly that isn't the difficult part. All you firstly have to do is acknowledge that you are on the wrong path. Then accept that to transform your life you must just let go and change your intentions. When you do things will then start taking you in another direction. When your intention gather speed you will begin to see changes in your life. Circumstances will draw towards you that will help you move towards your true new path. And that's how it will happen. The difficult part, you have to let your intentions be released, and stop holding yourself back. Have faith, trust in yourself and your gut feelings.
Let me conclude todays post with a poem, not my own, that would be far too much of a miracle:
Your Dimension Of Greatness
No one can know the potential,
Of a life that is committed to win;
With courage - the challenge it faces,
To achieve great success in the end!
So, explore the Dimension of Greatness,
And believe that the world CAN be won;
By a mind that is fully committed,
KNOWING the task can be done!
Your world has no place for the skeptic,
No room for the DOUBTER to stand;
To weaken your firm resolution
That you CAN EXCEL in this land!
We must have VISION TO SEE our potential,
And FAITH TO BELIEVE that we can;
Then COURAGE TO ACT with conviction,
To become what GOD MEANT us to be!
So, possess the strength and the courage,
To conquer WHATEVER you choose;
It's the person WHO NEVER GETS STARTED,
That is destined FOREVER to lose!

After ending its six-year Section III Class C title drought (see related story), the Skaneateles boys lacrosse team nearly didn't make it out of its initial round of regional play.
Only a familiar storyline -- the fourth-quarter comeback -- pulled the Lakers out of last Saturday's regional opener against Salmon River, as a seemingly certain defeat turned into a 15-14 victory over the Shamrocks at Central Square.
Salmon River, a Section X school long known for its top-flight hockey program, was unbeaten going into the regional playoffs, though it had not faced the kind of competition Skaneateles had dealt with throughout the spring.
Still, the Shamrocks did everything but win. Despite the Lakers' Matt Wood getting most of the face-offs, Salmon River offered solid resistance throughout the first half and exploited every possible gap in the Lakers' defense.
Following a high-scoring first period, the Shamrocks, up 5-4, controlled most of the second quarter and went to the break leading 9-5. Try as it could in the third quarter, all Skaneateles could do was match Salmon River's production.
So the Lakers were down, 13-9, with one quarter left, and Ty Thompson made it 14-9 with his fifth goals 52 seconds into the fourth quarter. Trailing by five, Skaneateles had to get everything to go right to rally -- which is exactly what happened.
A minute after Thompson's tally, Keith Buehler answered, his goal making it 14-10. After a brief quiet spell, Tom Schoener got in the act, converting with 7:56 left, and Eric Richards scored less than two minutes later, making it 14-12.
Wood continued to gain the face-offs, and the Lakers' depth and energy level far exceeded what Salmon River could offer, a big factor given the hot, humid conditions.
Oliver added to the rally, his goal with 4:43 left cutting the margin to one, 14-13. Less than 90 seconds later, Richards returned and poured a shot past Salmon River goalie Trey Adams -- and Skaneateles had a 14-14 tie.

I'm a huge fan of cheesy, tourist-style postcards; they are truly the exclamation points of mail. Seeing one underneath my mail slot, nestled in a soft bed of six Capital One credit card offers – it's just this glossy, day-brightening piece of FUN! (Unless it's addressed to one of my roommates, in which case my day becomes suddenly soaked in dark, nauseous mail-jealousy.) Sending them is a wonderful feeling too, but a quick stroll through a downtown Walgreens or the shops in Fisherman's Wharf and you'll find the postcard selection sufficiently lacking in the sarcasm and cold-hard-truth departments. To fill that void, Luke Foss and I created the best postcard set ever, ever known to man. Ever.
I know what you're thinking, and YES! These are printed and on sale now, exclusively at The Bold Italic shop. Buy them, get out your favorite pen, and send them off to 14 of your favorite, wise-ass friends.

Boston High School, also known as Boston High School for Girls, is a selective grammar school and sixth form college for girls aged 11 to 18 in Boston, Lincolnshire, England. The school's sixth form has been coeducational since 1992.
A 2014 Ofsted report assessed both the school and the sixth form provision as "good", with "outstanding" leadership and management and "outstanding" behaviour and safety. [3]
Pupils joining in Year 7 are required, as with other selective grammar school's, to complete an 11+ verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning test. This test is carried out at the primary school, administered by the local grammar schools.[4] The current PAN (published admission number) is 108.[5]
Mid-year admissions applications are made through Lincolnshire County Council, who then ask the school to conduct an entry test - in the form of a Cognitive Abilities Test.[6]
Year 11 pupils from any school can apply to join the co-educational Sixth Form as long as the general entry criteria (5 A*-C GCSE grades or equivalent including English and Maths) and subject criteria (varies by subject) are met.[7]
Academy status[edit]
On 1 January 2013, Boston High School became a converter academy, under the leadership of the then headteacher, Dr Jason Howard. No changes were made to the school uniform and the school retained its existing name. This ended the federation between Boston High School and Boston Grammar School, with both schools now having an independent governing body, budget and establishment number. However, an umbrella trust exists in order to promote, and provide a structure for, mutually-beneficial collaboration between the two schools.[8]
Boston High School first opened on 19 January 1914 at Allan House on Carlton Road, Boston. There was a headmistress and seven teachers, with 112 girls on the roll. Due to increasing pupil numbers additional classrooms were built in 1922. The school's first headmistress was Miss F.M. Knipe, who served from 1914 until 1927, and there have been a further eight headteachers in the history of the school.[9]
Move of school site[edit]
The school was relocated to the current Spilsby Road location on the northern rim of Boston during the autumn of 1938. However, the official opening ceremony did not take place until 1939, the year that World War II started. The school was declared open by Alderman Kitwood, who later would have a house named after him. During the War girls from Hull were enrolled into the school, having been evacuated from their own city in anticipation of strategic bombing raids by the Luftwaffe.
In 1956 the Mayoress of Boston was 17-year-old Janet Rowe. She had been invited to a Queen's garden party in London on 12 July of that year, but was unable to attend as she was sitting a GCE exam on the same day.
The school entered a team for Radio 4's former Top of the Form, with their round against Colchester County High School being broadcast on 16 & 18 November 1983.
In the 1990s it also referred to itself as The High School, Boston, and had around 850 girls.
Federation plans[edit]
In 2006, there were plans by Lincolnshire County Council to merge Boston High School with the local boys grammar school Boston Grammar School, with effect from September 2011.[10] In preparation for this, in September 2009 a group of 66 boys from the local community were admitted to the 'Boston Grammar Schools Federation' on the Spilsby Road (Boston High School) site in Y7 - the first mixed gender intake cohort to be admitted to the new federation. However, in 2010 it was announced that due to the withdrawal of Building Schools for the Future funding by the new coalition government,[11] that both schools would operate as two separate schools, still under a federation - on two sites - with one governing body. Parents of the boys admitted into Y7 were offered the choice of keeping their son at Boston High School, or transferring him to Boston Grammar School. 32 boys continued their education at Boston High School, completing their GCSEs in June 2014; many of them continuing on at Boston High School to study their AS Levels in the co-educational sixth form.
The school today[edit]
Uniform policy[edit]
As of Sept. 2014
- All hair should be worn off the face, and if shoulder length tied back where required in practical lessons. Subtle enhancement of natural colour is permissible, but no hair extensions, coloured wraps or extremes of style or colour is permitted.
- If make-up is obviously worn pupils will be asked to remove it.
- Coloured nail varnish is not permitted
- One pair of stud earrings through the earlobes is permitted, and any other piercing should be removed when in uniform. No other jewellery is permitted.
- One small religious symbol on a chain is permitted to be worn around the neck, along with a wristwatch. (because it is not right to penalise religious people but it is permitted to penalise an atheist)
- Training shoes are not permitted to be worn at school, or whilst in school uniform (i.e. to and from school). If pupils require to wear training shoes a Medical Certificate will be required.
- Charity Bangles are to be restricted to one.
- Blazers to be worn when walking around school but can be removed in lessons. Students will be informed when blazers may be removed due to hot weather. They cannot be replaced by jumpers.
School badge[edit]
The school badge comprises two mermaids holding a shield. Underneath on a banner is the school motto 'non-nobis solum' which means 'Not for ourselves alone'. The badge is based on the crest of Boston Borough council.
On the shield are four quadrants. One is three coronets. Their origins are not known for definite, but it is said[by whom?] that they represent the Dukes of Brittany, Richmond and Suffolk - also represented on the Boston Borough council arms. A second quadrant shows three wheatsheaves to represent the arable farmland of the fens; the community which Boston High School is based in is essentially rural, and thrives on agriculture. Two further quadrants are of a fleur-de-lis on a background of the cross of St George. The two mermaids represent Boston's nautical connections and its heritage as a port; again, taken form the Borough Council arms.
The school colours are navy blue and emerald green.
From September 2014, the new year 7 intake study the following curriculum:[12]
- English (Language and Literature)
- Maths
- Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics)
- Art
- Life Skills (incorporating Citizenship)
- Computing
- Design & Technology (Food, Product Design, Textiles)
- French
- Geography
- History
- Music
- Physical Education
- Religious Education
- German
At the end of Year 7 students are given the option to continue studying either French or German. They then begin studying Spanish and their chosen language during Year 8 and 9.
These subjects are taken until the end of year 9. In year 10, pupils begin their GCSE courses in English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Religious Studies; non-GCSE courses in Life Skills and Physical Education; and four GCSE courses from the following 'option' choices:[13]
- Art
- Business Studies
- Food
- French
- Computing
- Geography
- Health and Social Care
- History
- Music
- Physical Education
- Product Design
- Spanish
- Textiles
Pupils start their Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Religious Studies GCSE courses early, at the beginning of Year 9. [14]
The school offers a range of AS and A2 level courses for pupils in Year 12 and 13.[15] 4 subjects are taken at AS Level in Year 12, 3 of the 4 subjects are continued at A2 level in Year 13.[16]
The houses are named after people who have played a part in the school's history. The five houses and associated colours are: Allan: Yellow, Conway: Red, Ingelow: Blue, Kitwood: Purple, Lindis: Green.
Academic results[edit]
Boston High School consistently achieves the highest pass rates at GCSE,[17] and is more often than not the top performing school in Boston using these measures.
Former teachers[edit]
- Dr Steve Peters, psychiatrist for the gold-medal-winning British Cycling Team[18][19][20] (taught Maths from 1978–82)
Notable former pupils[edit]
- Rachael Anderton – Deputy Chief Executive of Young Enterprise[21][not in citation given][22][not in citation given]
- Lyndsey Young – label designer[23]
