Job Interviews
Steve left the interview smiling and totally convinced that he had "
connected with the hiring manager
As he stated,
"The job is mine to lose."
Now that the interview was over, he just had to sit back and wait for the magical phone call.
While Steve went about his usual activities, the interviewers compared notes, and the search to fill the position continued.
"He seems to have the skills we need,"
said the hiring manager.
"But, I don't think this applicant is really interested. He never gave any indication he even wants the job."
Lack of interest or enthusiasm during the interview process is on the top 10 list of reasons for candidate rejection.
Apparently, Steve did not realize that. Nor did he understand just how important it is to follow up after an interview, beginning with a thank you letter to each interviewer.
In addition to competence, employers want someone they would like to work with and who wants to work with them.
During the interview, always show your excitement and enthusiasm about the position (assuming you are being genuine).
Besides stating your interest in the particular position, remember the following points during the final moments of your interview:
1. Express your gratitude to the interviewer for the opportunity you have been given – no matter how the interview went.
2. Find out if there is anything else you can do (for example, sending samples of your work) that might give the interviewer a better sense of what you can contribute to the organization. Be sure you answer, "why should we hire you?"
3. Tell the interviewer that you are confident in your ability to perform the responsibilities and make a contribution.
4. Ask what the next steps are in the selection process and when a decision is expected to be made.
5. Follow up can help you turn an interview into an offer by knocking out your competition, reassuring the hiring manager of your capabilities, or turning a losing situation into a winning one.
Effective follow-up depends on knowing what happened in the interview, so be sure to take a few notes after each job interview.
For example, answer these questions and log your answers for future reference:
How did it go?
What did they say?
What unconventional interview questions were asked?
How many people were seen and how much time was spent with each one?
What role did each one play and who was important?
Who was the decision-maker?
What non-traditional interview questions were asked?
Which one was likely to influence the hiring decision?
How quickly do they plan to decide? When can expect a follow-up?
What you offer that your competition doesn't?
What problems does the interviewer have and what solutions did you recommend?
Then, follow up with each person with whom you interviewed with a computer-generated letter of thanks – regardless of how the interview went. Your goal is to influence the interviewers.
Were you stumped on what YOU should have asked the interviewer? Here is a list of questions every executive job seeker should be prepared to ask during an interview.
Address the following areas in your thank you letters:
Apply the same tone reflected in the conversation during the interview (friendly, formal, etc.).
Reaffirm your interest in the position and thank the interviewer for the time given to you.
Recap your key qualifications that apply to the position, your understanding of the employer's immediate needs and what can you do to make his or her job easier.
Any objections to your candidacy. For example, you may know they typically hire someone with a different background from yours.
Reiterate the commitment you made at the end of the interview and state the next steps.
For example,
"I'd like to get together with you to discuss my ideas on…"
"If I don't hear from George within the next week or so, I'll follow up with a call."
Move the process along to the next step at the employer's pace – not yours. The next steps could include another meeting with the hiring manager or other people, discussion of your ideas for a new project, or a proposal on how you would handle a certain area.
The timing of your letter depends on the hiring manager's sense of urgency and personality. If the situation is urgent, mail or hand-deliver your letter(s) immediately.
In addition, it is possible to influence the hiring decision by contacting anyone else who can help you.
Think of the people (your references or mutual contacts) the hiring manager will most likely call for information.
Call them, tell them about the position, and ask for their support by putting in a good word for you.
This may seem like hard work.
However, how badly do you want the job?
Every step of the interview process is an opportunity to make an impression. Create the best possible impression right from the beginning. It will be well worth your effort.

At points this season, Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has heard variations of the same question.
How do you feel your accuracy has been this season? Do you feel like you're an accurate passer?
When Stafford last defended his accuracy in October, he pointed out that the more he goes deep to receivers, the less chance the pass is completed.
"There's just a lot of variables that goes into it," Stafford said. "You miss a couple and then you hit a couple and they make big plays for you. Obviously I want to make every throw. I want to complete every pass. I want to throw for as many yards as I can, as many touchdowns as I can to help our team win.
"I will continue to do that for as long as I'm playing the game."
And for the first part of the 2013 season, Stafford was doing that at a high rate. He had completed more than 50 percent of his passes in his first eight games and had been over 60 percent in five of them.
That Stafford, though, appears to have gone away. In the second half of the season, Stafford has dipped below the 50 percent marker twice -- and hit a season-low 40 percent of his passes during the blizzard-like conditions last Sunday against Philadelphia.
The issues have sent his numbers plummeting. His is now 31st in the NFL in completion percentage at 58.3 percent -- one spot behind Terrelle Pryor from Oakland and eight below Jacksonville's Chad Henne. Of quarterbacks who have started 10 games this season, Stafford is ahead only of San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick (57.2 percent) and Geno Smith of the New York Jets at 55.4 percent.
He is now tied for sixth in the NFL with 14 interceptions yet is still third in touchdowns with 27. This is part of the confusion about Stafford. He puts up big numbers and can make big plays -- see the fourth quarter comebacks in his career -- but that fourth quarter success has disappeared the past five games.
It might explain why the Lions have been unable to close out games. It might not be a coincidence that in an offense predicated on passing, late-game struggles from Stafford would become a huge issue.
Consider this: In his first eight games this season, Stafford completed at least 62.5 percent of his passes in every game during the fourth quarter and did not throw an interception. The Lions were 5-3 in those games.
Since Detroit took the week off, it hasn't gone so well. Other than Detroit's blowout win against Green Bay, where he completed both of his fourth quarter passes in a 40-10 rout, Stafford has not completed more than 50 percent of his passes in the fourth quarter of any game.
He was 5 of 13 for 89 against Chicago. Went 0 of 10 against Pittsburgh. Was 5 of 13 against Tampa Bay and 1 of 8 last Sunday against Philadelphia. He has thrown two touchdowns in the fourth quarters of those games compared to three interceptions.
In none of those games did he throw for more than 100 yards after doing so in five games during the first half of the season. And, of course, Detroit has lost leads in the fourth quarter in all three of those second half of the season losses.
Those four games are among his 10 worst fourth quarter completion percentage games in his career.
Looking at the second half of the season, Stafford hasn't been completed a lot of passes anywhere in the fourth quarter. He is 7 of 25 for 108 yards and a touchdown from the line of scrimmage to 15 yards out. Beyond 15 yards, he is 5 of 15 for 117 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.
He hasn't been helped by his receivers in the fourth quarter during the second half of the season, either. Other than the Green Bay game, the Lions have had a drop rate of 7.7 percent or worse in every fourth quarter the second half of the season, capped in futility by a 20 percent drop rate against Pittsburgh and a 25 percent drop rate against Philadelphia.
After six fourth quarter drops in the first eight games of the season, the Lions have had six in the first five games of the second half of the season during the fourth quarter. Not surprising, though, since Detroit's pass catchers drop more passes than any team in the league.
Whatever has been going on with Detroit on offense, be it Stafford or the receivers or a combination of both, time is running out for the Lions to fix it or to return to the form they showed in the first half of the season, when Stafford and Detroit looked like one of the most efficient offenses in the league.

text: UPDATED 03:15 4th August 2016 Scotland international central midfielder Craig Bryson joined Derby County in the summer of 2011 – and has been a first-team regular throughout his time at the club.After the Rams agreed an undisclosed fee with Scottish Premier League outfit Kilmarnock for his services, he arrived in Derby as something of an unknown quantity, but come the end of the 2011/12 season that certainly was not the case, after he won all three of the club's Player of the Year Awards.The diminutive box-to-box central midfielder provides bags of energy and calmness to Derby's midfield and in the summer of 2014 he signed a new-five year deal until 2019, highlighting his commitment to the cause.His trademark bursts into the box yielded six-goal returns in 2011/12 and five in 2012/13, including the winning goal against fierce rivals Nottingham Forest in September 2012 in a 1-0 win at the City Ground – but he cranked that form up a notch in 2013/14 to be played Player of the Season.He scored 16 goals in total, as well as recording a large number of assists. He scored two hat-tricks – in the 5-1 win at Millwall in September 2013 and in the 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest on home turf in March 2014 –and was also named in the PFA Championship Team of the Season.In 2014/15 he remained a key member of the squad and appeared on 44 occasions, scoring five times.A year later, Bryson endured a frustrating beginning to the 2015/16 season as the midfielder suffered a knee injury in the Rams' opening fixture of the new campaign at Bolton Wanderers.A long road back to recovery saw the popular Scot return in October, before playing a key part for the squad in the second half of the season as they cemented a play-off berth.His performances for Derby saw him recalled to the Scotland international squad for their end of season friendly matches against Italy and France and played a part in the former. Bryson began his career with Clyde and he made over 100 appearances at the Broadwood Stadium between 2003 and 2007. In January 2006 he scored the opener in Clyde's famous 2-1 Scottish Cup win over Celtic, the game in which former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane made his debut for the Glasgow giants.After a brief trial at Derby under Billy Davies, which proved to be unsuccessful, Craig joined Kilmarnock in 2007 and he went on to make 135 appearances and score 14 goals at Rugby Park. He was given added responsibility after being handed the captaincy at Killie and his fine form was rewarded with his first international cap in 2010 against the Faroe Islands.

Chapter 5Mature
Floating slightly in thick orange liquid was a fully formed foetus. It was curled up with its knees by its chin and it sucked sleepily on its own thumb, long-lashed eyes closed in the serenity of undisturbed sleep. She had expected a horrifying, malformed creature to be born today, yet here in this tank lay a human infant, unremarkable in any way save for its circumstances.
"Leicester!" Amanda shouted involuntarily, "is it conscious?"
She felt a hand between her shoulder blades and Leicester bent down to peer in to the glass beside her.
"Is any baby genuinely conscious before birth?" he mused, "I don't suppose we'll ever know. Though hopefully it will be in a matter of minutes," he left her gazing open-mouthed through the glass pane.
Just as Amanda's back began to ache from having been doubled over so long Leicester returned to pull her away and straighten her up.
"You need to put these on, darling," he handed her a pair of surgical gloves. She slipped them on, not bothering to snap them as Leicester did when he pulled the latex over his forearms and let go. He beckoned Patel over and the three scientists stood before the large white cylinder, each with different degrees of anticipation and nerves.
"Dr. Niels, are we ready?" Patel asked nervously.
Leicester started and looked at his assistant.
"Yes! Yes, Mr. Patel. Let us begin!"
Patel swiped a hand over an area on the left of the tank and a computer screen faded into view. The scientist then proceeded to tap at the screen, directing his way through menus and sub-menus and, having typed in no fewer than seven security codes, stepped aside to allow his superior access to the panel. Leicester stepped forward and placed his left palm upon the screen, lifting it only when a small green light appeared upon the side of the tank.
"Dr Bell, I'd love for you to do the honours," he said.
"W-what? I…"
"Please?" he smiled at her and cocked his head, looking at her with large blue eyes. When she hesitated he took hold of her hand once more and extended her index finger. Still smiling, he waited for her to nod before raising her hand and using it to press the green light.
With a soft humming sound the side of the tank began to move. Two lines had appeared about a meter apart and the area of the tank between them was sliding away, receding in to the floor. Revealed beneath the tank's surface was a second tank of the same UV-protected glass as the window Amanda had peered through before, though this glass tank was missing a lid.
Leicester approached the tank and rolled up his sleeves. Taking a deep breath he plunged his arms in to the thick, syrupy liquid and lowered them slowly in to its depths.
"Artificial amniotic fluid," he informed the other two as they covered their noses and his own wrinkled, "stinks."
The thing inside the tank twitched as Leicester's long, slender fingers gingerly prodded its leg, causing him to bark an excited laugh. He touched it again, more confident this time, and placed one hand beneath its bottom and the other under its head, lifting it steadily towards the surface of the orange liquid with painstaking steadiness.
So sudden that all three scientists gasped, a loud wail erupted from just outside the tank:
The baby was crying.
Leicester turned to his colleagues, beaming.
"He's healthy!" he cried, "he's okay!"
He began to soothe the screaming infant, rubbing its belly in an effort to ease the shock of waking in an unfamiliar world, of breathing cold oxygen for the first time in its young life. He held it close to his chest, oblivious to the orange fluid smeared over his otherwise pristine shirt and lab coat, and cooed over it.
"The first ever human clone," he whispered as its cries subsided, "Amanda, you must hold him!"
Amanda opened her mouth to protest but the excited Leicester forced the baby into her arms before she could object and she instinctively raised her arms to support its tiny frame.
"Meet Adam," Leicester's pride was plastered all over his face.
"It's… Alive," Amanda breathed.
Leicester laughed at her gleefully. He then threw his arms and head to the heavens in a dramatic gesture and yelled "It's alive!"
Floating slightly in thick orange liquid was a fully formed foetus. It was curled up with its knees by its chin and it sucked sleepily on its own thumb, long-lashed eyes closed in the serenity of undisturbed sleep. She had expected a horrifying, malformed creature to be born today, yet here in this tank lay a human infant, unremarkable in any way save for its circumstances.

Get 50% off w/ free shipping sale. Ends today!
Maid in London by Banksy was commissioned by newspaper The Independent for a wall in Chalk Farm, North London around 2006. It shows a woman dressed as a maid: she has finished sweeping dirt into a dustpan, and is now putting the dirt under a cover over a brick wall. She is slightly bent over; her hands and face are in color. The rest of the painting is done in black and white.
Banksy modeled the woman in the painting on a hotel maid in Los Angeles named Leanne. She was a feisty lady, and this piece is partially about democratizing subjects in art. Banksy said that it used to be just popes, kings, queens, that could afford a portrait painted, and so he chose a maid.

Veiled Virtues by Jan Fischer-Wade is going to print!
Jan Fischer Wade, author of Veiled Virtues, has signed with Muse-It-Up Publishing to do a print run of the novel. The ebook has been out for over a year garnering acclaim in both YA and adult audiences just as Harry Potter and Inkheart. Scheduled for release Winter/Spring 2014.
Transpiring in England, it is told from the two main characters' different perspectives, the work is a bit of a supernatural mystery and a romantic fantasy all rolled into one.
Paige didn't know that modern day English knights do exist and that she would need their protection. But all of this changed in an internet café in Newbury, England when she saw the blood on her laptop…
Paige has just graduated from high school and taken on a summer house-sitting gig in England for a friend of her mother's. Strange occurrences such as hearing voices, the house turning into a freezer, random bleeding wounds and outward markings of stigmata which appear on Paige are only a few signs that all is not as it seems. She is suddenly aware that things are happening more now that she is in Newbury – she sees bits of the future and is strangely affected by certain people and objects. In addition to all that, her supernatural potential has made her a target for an evil faction in England, the Cerberus Brotherhood, who want her for their own devices.
Then she meets Nathaniel who is an eclectic shop keeper known for little but is speculated more about in this country township. He and his family, as members of the Rosetta Guard, are all too familiar with the sinister capabilities of the "Cerbs." As Nathaniel confides his family's secrets to Paige, their love grows, as does the commitment of the Guard to Paige's cause.
This is the first in a series for Fischer-Wade, an attorney and artist from the Lincoln, Nebraska. She is currently hard at work on the next two novels in the Veiled Virtues series and has been researching American legal cases from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for them. Veiled Virtues reminds me of the Knights of the Round Table come to the 21st century to protect and guide the chosen ones. www.JanFischerWade.com and www.VeiledVirtues.com

The Story of Switzerland HTML version
[Pg ix]
For many reasons, some of which are obvious to the least thoughtful,
the history of Switzerland is peculiarly interesting, and not least so to
English-speaking peoples. In the first place, the "playground of
Europe" is every year visited by large numbers of British and
Americans, some of whom indeed are familiar with almost every
corner of it. Then to the Anglo-Saxon race the grand spectacle of a
handful of freemen nobly struggling for and maintaining their freedom,
often amidst enormous difficulties, and against appalling odds, cannot
but be heart-stirring. To the citizen of the great American republic a
study of the constitution of the little European republic should bring
both interest and profit—a constitution resembling in many points that
of his own country, and yet in many other respects so different. And
few readers, of whatever nationality, can, we think, peruse this story
without a feeling of admiration for a gallant people who have fought
against oppression as the Swiss have fought, who have loved
freedom as they
[Pg x]
have loved it, and who have performed the well-nigh incredible feats
of arms the Switzers have performed. And as Sir Francis O. Adams
and Mr. Cunningham well point out in their recently published work on
the Swiss Confederation, as a study in constitutional history, the
value of the story of the development of the Confederation can hardly
be over-estimated.
Few of the existing accounts of Swiss history which have appeared in
the English language go back beyond the year 1291 a.d., the date of
the earliest Swiss League, and of course Switzerland as a nation
cannot boast of an earlier origin. But surely some account should be
given of the previous history of the men who founded the League. For
a country which has been occupied at different periods by lakemen,
Helvetians, and Romans; where Alamanni, Burgundians, and Franks

Regular Fries were a 7-piece psychedelic rock band, formed in London, England in 1997. Their style was surreal and infused with the space age. Although chart success eluded them they received rave reviews in the music media from NME, Rolling Stone and Loaded, who were once moved to call them "the best rock'n'roll band in the world"[citation needed]. On their split in March 2001 songwriter Paul Moody announced "We hate the charts and the charts hate us. We're off into the cosmos!".
The band was formed in 1997 in North London by graphic designer Will Beaven (keyboards), music journalist Paul Moody (synthesizer, vibes), and film-maker Andy Starke (percussion).[1] The line-up was completed by Dave Brothwell (vocals), Rich Little (vocals, percussion), Pat O'Sullivan (bass), and Stephen Griffin (guitar).[1] Sometimes regarded part of the "skunk rock" movement, the band became known for their extravagant live shows.[1] After touring with the Lo Fidelity Allstars, the band's debut album, Accept the Signal, was released in 1999, followed the next year by War on Plastic Plants, which included a collaboration with Kool Keith on "Coke N Smoke (Supersonic Waves)".[1][2] Their third and final album while together, Blueprint for a Higher Civilization, was released in 2001, the band splitting up the same year.

Teen Accused of Trying to Run Over 13-Year-Old Boy
Police say a teenage girl is in juvenile hall facing serious charges after allegedly trying to run down a little boy on a bicycle last weekend after claiming he threw a water bottle at her Mercedes.
A witness tells News10 the 17-year-old girl made a U-turn on Yellow Stone Lane in the Arden Arcade area after the bottle hit the car.
"He was trying to get away from her. She followed him and basically mowed him down," the witness said.
Police say the girl's car hit the boy in the front yard of a nearby home, but a tree saved him from being crushed to death.
Officers also say she showed no remorse for what happened and admitted she did it on purpose.

text: This is one of the very few bars in Antwerp that is truly rock 'n' roll. The place is being run by two rock musicians and a lot of local artists pop in regulary for a beer or two (or ten). Apart from the rockers, this cafe attracts a very diverse crowd ranging from students to 30-somethings and all of them mingle happily. The interior is warm, slightly tropical and simply oozes good vibes; think Hawaii, think voodoo, think tiki. In other words: the place looks like a Bill Baxter record sleeve. Most of the art work on the walls has been made or donated by regulars, which gives the place a very homey atmosphere. Of course, it goes without saying that Boogaloo prides itself in playing excellent music. Apart from an excellent array of beers and liquor, they also offer a selection of home-made cocktails which are not to be missed!


text: Sacramento Social Security Disability Attorney Let Disability Action Advocates go to work for you! Applying for Social Security Disability benefits can be an extremely stressful and time-consuming process. A disability does not automatically qualify you for benefits; in fact, many people with legitimate disabilities have their claims initially denied. While you are unable to work, facing financial difficulties and dealing with a severe injury or illness, you shouldn't have to wait for the benefits you have contributed to all your life. DAA is here for you. Our firm exclusively practices Social Security Disability and can help guide you through the process! Lead attorney John C. Boyden has earned an AV® rating with the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell® Register of Pre-eminent lawyers. You can be confident that you will get the highest degree of professional and ethical standards when you hire DAA. We have one simple goal – to get your claim approved so you can carry on with your life. DAA is a team of experienced Sacramento disability lawyers who can even handle all the paperwork and submissions for you. Our firm can guide your claim through the complicated Social Security disability benefits process. We have extensive experience in filing successful claims, and we are very skilled and knowledgeable in the ways that we can maximize your chances of a successful claim. The Benefits of a Social Security Disability Lawyer There are great advantages to working with DAA throughout the process of pursuing benefits. We take claims when the claimant does not have a doctor's report stating he or she is disabled. There are a very high percentage of denial rates based upon a failure to submit all the necessary documentation. In fact, Sacramento had a mere 58.9% award rate for those applying for Social Security disability benefits for the first time during a 9-month period in 2011-2012. If you are not successful in receiving the benefits you need and deserve, DAA will prepare your filing and represents you at both appeals and hearings. By choosing our firm to represent you at a disability hearing, the process can be completed more seamlessly. We are experienced in expediting your hearing if you qualify for this process as well as cutting claim waiting times. Mr. Boyden has the expertise of appealing the claim at every level, and of taking your file all the way to Federal Court if needed. When you have been denied SSD benefits, we can step in and continue with your claim and work to see that you achieve the results you are looking for. The wait time between when you file a claim and when you receive benefits is an average of 9 months in the Sacramento area. This number is lower than Santa Barbara, San Diego, Pasadena, Orange and many other places throughout California. We are here to expedite this process as much as possible. We have fought and won benefits for people like you for over 20 years, and have had success in thousands upon thousands of cases for those who cannot work full or part time due to disabilities. With years of experienced in dealing with the Social Security Administration, addressing warrants and taxes, we have a great depth of insight into how to best manage the process for you. Our team carefully evaluates all the issues that must be addressed in filing a claim, and can manage all aspects of the process including cost of living adjustments, working while disabled, receiving income while disabled, disability for children, and long term disability. There are common medical conditions that will result in benefits being paid, and we can assist you in grid eligibility, if you have a disability that is not listed. The system allows for certain divorced spouse benefits, as well as potential access to the compassionate allowance program. You may be eligible for Medicaid as well as other benefits, and we can assist you with the process on our Medicare - How to Apply page. It can be possible to get your needed treatments from physicians or other medical professionals without the need for payment once they become aware that you have already filed for Medicaid. Hiring a DAA Team Specialist in Sacramento If you are wondering whether or not you should hire an attorney while going through the SSD process, consider the following. The high number of denials and difficulties in getting valid claims paid is the reason that our firm was established. We are here to help you get through the process with the least difficulty and the highest possibility of success. You may have heard or read a variety of SSD and SSI myths, and it is important that you get assistance from a trusted source that has a long history of successfully getting benefits paid. There are several do's and don'ts when seeking Social Security disability benefits and we assist you to avoid the pitfalls from the moment we take on your case. After years of employment and paying into the system, it is only fair that you get the benefits you paid for, and we are here to assist you. Don't hesitate to contact a Sacramento Social Security disability attorney from our firm today! Do You Have a Claim? Why Hire DAA? Video Center FAQ About SSDI Sacramento Social Security Disability Lawyer: Providing Qualified Legal Assistance Our firm helps those seeking supplemental security income, which provided another source of income for approximately 20% of disabled U.S. workers in 2011. It is important to keep in mind that benefits can also be terminated, and 653,877 disabled workers were cut off from receiving benefits in 2011 alone. If you have suffered a long term disability and are not receiving the lasting benefits you need, call our firm for the compassionate help and protection you deserve. Here at Disability Action Advocates, we handle cases involving divorced spouse benefits, and disability for children. While the majority of those receiving disability benefits are elderly and over the age of 65, we value the importance of representing disabled children. In addition to this, we are ready to provide you with the legal assistance needed in cases involving warrants, grid eligibility, taxes, cost of living adjustment, working while disabled, and receiving income while disabled. Our firm will also help you with Medicare and how to apply, Medicaid, assist in replacing a Social Security card, or request a job history summary. You may also be eligible for the compassionate allowance program, depending on the nature of your illness or injury and whether it is listed in the common medical conditions list provided by the SSA. When you are ill or injured, you need to be able to count on receiving your Social Security benefits. Let our team aggressively work for you in pursuing the benefits you deserve, and contact a Sacramento Social Security Disability lawyer from our firm today.

Works ok, but irritates my eyes. Also, I don't find it works any better than regular makeup wipes or micellar solution at removing the mascara. I also had to use A LOT on a cotton pad for each eye, so you end up going through it very quickly. Everyone says "They're Real" mascara is stubborn to remove, but my dollar store makeup wipes do the trick, better than this stuff... Don't waste your money on this!
This is a nice creamy gel formula that is rather gentle yet effective in small quantities. Just apply a bit to a cotton pad, and it removes your eye makeup and mascara SO easily.
It also doesn't irritate my eyes (which happens with my normal remover).
I received this #Benefit They're Real Remover Waterproof Mascara Remover as a part of my #TopBox last month. I posted or read a post a while back on ChickAdvisor about how hard it is to remove waterproof mascara. I really hated to use waterproof mascara because of this reason. I found it so hard to get all the mascara off without pulling, washing several times and losing eyelashes. With this product made by #BenefitCanada Cosmetics I can remove every trace of mascara with no scrubbing, losing eyelashes and also getting red eyes. I really am so happy I tried this @Benefit They're Real Remover. Now I can go back to wearing waterproof mascara again. Great Eye Care Product.
This makeup remover works very well. It easily gets rid of my liquid liner. It is reasonably priced and works great.
I didn't like this at all. In fact, none of these cream make up removers do a thing to my eye makeup. They don't take barely any of it off. I prefer cleansing cloths.
These reviews are the subjective opinions of ChickAdvisor members and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.

So whither Tim Henman, the British No 1 and the No 4 seed here at Queen's? Defeated, and ready to accept a wild card for next week's Nottingham Open in search of match practice to sharpen his game and rebuild his confidence for Wimbledon in 10 days' time.
Henman, who 12 months ago became the nation's first Wimbledon men's singles quarter-finalist for 23 years, was beaten yesterday by Germany's Jens Knippschild, ranked No 105 in the world and competing on grass for the first time since he was a junior six years ago.
Knippschild, a 22-year-old with a "Gazza" blond hairdo, demonstrated a penchant for upsets earlier in the week by eliminating Jason Stoltenberg, a Wimbledon semi-finalist last year, and Olivier Delaitre, who dispatched Henman in the first round of the French Open.
Yesterday's defeat, 7-6, 6-3, was a continuation of Henman's disappointing form since the final of the European Community Championship in Antwerp in February. In March he underwent surgery to remove pieces of floating bone from his right elbow, and he has won only two matches since - against Roberto Carretero, who retired injured during the third set of their contest at the Italian Open, and Andrew Richardson, a compatriot, in the second round here (Henman received a bye in the first round).
The disturbing aspect of yesterday's performance was how much Henman's wayward serving contributed to his defeat after he had broken Knippschild to lead 4-3 in the opening set. Two double-faults gave the German the incentive to level, and he proceeded to win the tie-break, 7-5.
Henman, broken for 1-2 in the second set, could hardly blame himself for failing to break back immediately. He had two opportunities in the fourth game, narrowly missing with a backhand lob on the first, and being aced by Knippschild on the second.
But Henman came close to gifting the fifth game with two double-faults, rescuing himself with four consecutive winning volleys, and finally lost the match with two successive double-faults, taking his total to seven.
"You've always got to be aggressive if you're going for serve and volley on first and second serve," Henman said, "and inevitably you're going to miss some.''
The comment was typical of Henman's responses when interviewed about the display. His attitude suggested that the defeat was merely a blip on his landscape, par for the course at Queen's, where he has won only one match in each of the past four years.
One reporter remarked that Henman seemed quite sanguine about the whole thing. "Am I any other way?" he replied. "I would have preferred to have won, but there's no reason why I shouldn't have a good run at Wimbledon. There's no reason to press any panic buttons.''
Before Henman's defeat yesterday (he is still in the doubles with Pete Sampras), the showcourts were the province of four left-handers, Goran Ivansevic against Britain's Martin Lee on the Centre Court and Rusedski versus Draper on Court No 1.
Rusedski was in splendid form against Draper, defeating the talented Australian, 6-3, 6-2. "I was just more relaxed today," Rusedski said, reporting no twinges from the wrist injury which had interrupted his impresssive run of success in the United States earlier in the year, including back-to-back wins against Michael Chang and Andre Agassi.
Lee had what is best described as a learning experience against the big- serving Ivanisevic, the No 3 seed. The first set disappeared in only 18 minutes as the 19-year-old from Worthing attempted to pick out his opponent's deliveries.
"It was impossible to return, because I haven't been used to playing against that speed of serve," Lee said, acknowledging that practising with Rusedski had helped a little. Goran's serve is even bigger," he said,
QUARTER-FINAL LINE-UP: Sampras v Bjorkman, Knippschild v Philippoussis, Golmard v Ivanisevic, Rafter v Rusedski.
Venus Williams, the 16-year-old American tennis prodigy, has turned down a wild card into next week's Direct Line Insurance women's championship at Eastbourne because she wants to get extra practice by qualifying for the main draw.

Disclaimer: OK as we all know I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters. This honor goes to J.K. Rowling
Warning: This is a H/S slash.
Authors Note: OK guys. So I have read a lot of H/S stories and I thought, if only this story had this event that another story had. Then it hit me, why not make the story that has everything such as voldie, sickness, dursleys abuse, good or bad malfoy, and more. I might be a tad slow at updating considering I have two jobs right now but I will try my hardest. Thanks for reading and considering on the amount of reviews I get determines if I continue on to the next chapter. Thanks!
It always came too soon. The day students bustled about, collecting hugs, gathering suitcases. Professors wandered the halls in search of a student to bid farewell to instead of giving them a detention. Each person was carefree and excited, ready for the summer, family and fun.
That is, all except a certain scar-headed boy.
Harry never really was excited to leave Hogwarts. His true carefree attitude that he had here could never be present at the Dursley's. Any smile would get smacked right off of his face. But Harry did not tell anyone that. Besides, he deserved it.
Didn't he?
After all of the shit I have put the Wizarding World through. And Sirius. And looking into Snape's pensieve. And making the Dursley's put up with me all of these years. I don't blame them for wanting to hit me. As long as the glamour holds, I am fine with it all.
As Harry reflected all of this while sitting on his 4 post bed, he failed to notice his surroundings. Even as his red headed and bushy haired friends entered the room, hands clasped.
"Harry. Hello!" Ron yelled at his friend, shaking his free hand in front of Harry's glasses. Harry was shaken from his stupor at the sudden burst of noise. He looked up to see two hands holing each other. A confused, yet knowing smile encroached upon his lips.
As if he didn't see this coming.
"Congratulations you two." Harry said, forcing a smile on his face while gesturing to the hands. Ron and Hermione smiled and blushed as they mumbled a quiet thank you.
Harry gazed off, dreaming of finding his own true love. His own companion to hold on to and to tell everything to. If only. If only another man could lover me like that. If…
"Harry!" Ron yelled." I swear it is as if you are in some other world today. What has gotten into you mate?" Looking up into the eyes of his best friends, Harry told at least the partial truth, "I just wish I didn't have to go back to the Dursley's. That's all." Hermione and Ron nodded, knowing that Harry wasn't treated very well while at the Dursley's.
"You'll be okay Harry." Hermione said," Before you know it school will start back up again and everything will be back to normal." Hermione smiled and squeezed Ron's hand. "Yeah mate. She's right. Just relax. You'll be fine." Ron gave his trademark reassuring Weasley grin.
The three friends smiled and Harry accompanied them out of the room to head down to the feast.
Oh if only they knew.
Harry had swam at all of the noise upon entering the Great Hall. His eyes scanned the room and saw every face either laughing or smiling, even the Slytherins. The trio sat down by Seamus and the gang who all awaited the feast. After Dumbledore's speech of course. Harry was kind of out of it though. He didn't rejoice and smile with his friends, unless knocked out of his reverie for a split second. All he could think about was his summer ahead and how he hoped he would be able to come back for his graduation feast the following year.
Unbeknownst to the emerald-eyed boy, a pair of onyx eyes were watching his moves closely. Something is definitely with that insufferable boy today. Probably too high and mighty to be around these people and ready to go home and be spoiled by his relatives. He is just like his father. Snape looked away from the boy with a disgusting scowl on his face. He looked down at his empty plate waiting for his food.
But another person in the room was thinking the same thoughts. Stupid Potter. Always trying to be the center of attention. Look at him, wallowing in self-pity for lord knows why so that everyone will feel sorry for him. Get over yourself Potter! He went back to talking with his friends and making fun of Ravenclaws that walked by.
Harry attempted to be part of the party at his table. Even though as everyone else were celebrating summer, he would be celebrating beatings.
The Hall went quiet at Dumbledore took the podium in front of the teacher's table. After applying the megaphone charm, he said, " We have come to the end of another year at Hogwarts School or Witchcraft and Wizardry. The graduation seventh years," he motioned with his hand to all of the kids wearing wizard hats," are embarking on their life beginning after tonight. I and the rest of the professors wish you all the best of luck." Everyone clapped until the leader put his hand up for silence. "As next year comes around, the new seventh years," his eyes stopped on Harry," will be beginning the last chapter at Hogwarts. Along with all of the teachers I want to wish each and everyone of you a happy summer and we all look forward to the next semester. Study hard and let the feast begin!"
Applause erupted as the food appeared on the table. Harry ate quickly and quietly, eating as much as he could because he knew that once he went back to the Dursley's, food like this would never be seen again.
Never once noticing the onyx eyes boring into him, Harry finished his meal and tried enjoying his last conversation with his friends before the Dursley's. Once everyone had finished eating, Dumbledore said for everyone to go up to their dormitories and retrieve their belongings and the head towards the carriages. Harry told Ron and Hermione that he would meet up with them (giving them some time to themselves).
Harry paused as he packed up the scrapbook Sirius had given him the year before and while flipping through the pages he reflected on his last godfather.
Hurriedly wiping his eyes, Harry packed up the scrapbook, closed his suitcase, and headed out of the Gryffindor common rooms. Harry walked slowly toward the Entrance Hall, dreading the ride away from his home.
Not paying attention, Harry stumbled, bumping into a solid figure. He looked up after gaining his balance, only to be greeted by the eyes of his most dreaded professor.
"Watch where you are going Potter." Snape scowled while looking down at this pupil.
"Sorry," Harry mumbled while walking away.
Since when does the boy apologize? Snape wondered confused.
Harry had bigger things to worry about then Snape. And it's not like I hate the man really. But what choice do I have? He has treated me like shit ever since I walked into this school. I only feel this way because of how he treated me. Who knows. We could have actually been friends if it wasn't for his arrogant attitude.
Harry walked down the steps and walked along the pathway until he came upon the carriage with Ron and Hermione occupying it. Luckily the two weren't snogging so he was able to get in without being embarrassed. He sat across from the two and, considering all they wanted to do was stare at each other with googly eyes, he decided to take in the surroundings. He watched the green pastures roll by and the crystal lakes disappear into the distance. He hoped he could at least live long enough to experience these sites again.
But who knows? Harry thought. I might as well say goodbye just in case.
OK there is the first chapter. A little slow but its just the beginning. Wanted to just get some things settled and introduce Snape and Draco. If I continue on to the next chapter you can expect:
Harry at the Dursley's and the beatings and his thoughts. And of course Severus's thoughts as well.
You know you want to hit that button. REVIEW!!!

Denise Fergus, mother of murdered toddler James Bulger, set a legal precedent when she appeared before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to challenge a ruling that Bulger's killers were denied a fair trial.
John Dickinson and Dominic Lloyd, the lawyers for Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, complained in 1994 that the trail was unfair because it had been in an adult court and that the boys' sentence had been set by the Home Secretary and not by a judicial body.
Fergus' attendance at the closed hearing was hailed as a landmark, being the first time someone other than the complainant or defendant had been allowed to put their case.
Some commentators went as far as to draw parallels with Islamic courts, where the views of victims' families are taken into account.

The internet is over flowing with "How to grow your email list" articles.
Nothing wrong with that, I strongly believe that if you're trying to build an audience around your business, it should be on email, and you should try to grow it as much as you can.
But, focusing on growth and growing blindly are not the same thing.
This is why I like having an ideal number in mind when it comes to growing your email list.
In this post, I'll show you how to figure out how many subscribers you need to have in your email list with a simple formula and why email marketing is not about hitting a number.
How Many Subscribers Do You Really Need in Your Email List?
Back in the day, when I owned a Directv authorized distributor (did I ever tell you I used to sell Directv?), my goal was to make the phone ring 600 times per day. I had a sales goal of 100/day and I knew that if I generated that number of calls, the goal was going to be achieved.
Of course, there was a mix of different types of calls coming in, like customer service, reschedules, tech support and other stuff, but 1 out of 6 calls was a sure sale.
Or, as the kids like to call it today, a 16.67% conversion rate. 😉
My formula was simple: 600 Calls = 100 Sales = Francisco happy.
Today, I use the same formula to calculate how many subscribers I need on my list.
Here goes…
1) Establish a goal
Establish a clear goal of how many sales you want to achieve. Believe me, life will be better once you have that magic number in front of you.
Let's say you want to make: 100 Sales.
Your goal can also be in revenue. If your product sells for $100 and you want to make 100 sales, your goal in revenue is: $10,000
2) Get your past data
Look at the performance of your past campaigns.
Let's say that back in March you were able to make 50 sales in a campaign, what you need to look for is how many subscribers you had in your list at that point.
We'll pretend you had 2,000 subscribers. That means that 2.5% of subscribers purchased your product.
Here is the formula: Sales / Subscribers x 100 (50 / 2,000 x 100 = 2.5)
Just to make sure we're on the same page here, we're not exactly measuring "conversion rate" here. Conversion rate is measure based on the clicks on a campaign, like this: Sales / Clicks on a campaign x 100
3) Subscribers needed
You know where I'm going with this, right? If your current data indicates that you convert 2.5% to sales, and your goal is to make 100 sales…
You need 4,000 subscribers in your list.
In this formula, we're not considering opens and clicks, and of course the fact that you could improve your conversion rate, but here's the thing…
Nothing in marketing is permanent or static, your audience moves, a campaign can get more opens, fewer clicks, a guest post can convert 40% to subscribers, a content upgrade can fail miserably. This number is only intended to provide a goal, that's why we're looking at previous data.
Okay, so what happens when I hit my goal, Francisco?
Should you stop trying to acquire new subscribers once you hit your magic number?
High fives?
Of course not. Email marketing doesn't work like that, let me explain why…
Why you always need *NEW* email subscribers
When I say "new subscribers," I'm not necessarily talking about growth, but the opportunity to have fresh subscribers in your list at all times.
Here's why…
"The Honeymoon Period"
Many people have asked me when is the best time to make an offer, some jump the gun by making an offer right away and others build a list for a year without offering anything.
The perfect moment to make an offer is during the honeymoon period.
The honeymoon period usually happens when you have added just enough value, the subscriber is excited to open and click your email campaigns, but before engagement starts to slowly decrease.
Think of it as dating, you enter the romantic phase, interest peaks, you'll have to make a move eventually, before you're moved into the "friend zone."
Now, this doesn't mean you won't be able to make sale after. You'll be able to keep some people engaged for longer periods of time and even get repeated business, if they're happy and you have a good retention strategy.
But some will inevitably fade out as engagement decreases over time. It's impossible to keep everybody engaged all the time.
If you stop getting new subscribers today, you'd probably start seeing a slow decline in open and click rates.
New subscribers = Higher Opens + Higher CTR = More Sales.
And that is why you should always maintain a flow of new subscribers coming into your list. So you can more chances to the honeymoon period.
At the other end of the spectrum, you probably have a number of subscribers that are no longer engaged. These folks should be removed from your list at some point.
I'm not talking about the people that unsubscribe from your list, but the ones that are no longer engaging with your campaigns even though they're still on the list.
But dumping deadbeat subscribers is a whole different blog post.
Oh wait! I wrote that post, you can read it here.
As you can see, some people are coming in, others are going out. This, my friend, keeps your list fresh and with much higher chances to close sales over and over again.
Just make sure your acquisition is always higher than your churn.
Key Takeaways
So, let's recap real quick…
- Growth is good. Blind growth, not so much
- You want an email list because you want to make sales
- Establish a sales goal
- Look at your past data to see what percentage of your subscribers purchased a product from you
- Calculate how many subscribers you need in order to reach your sales goals
- Your list should always be alive, with fresh subscribers always coming in and deadbeats going out
You good? Alright, looks like you have a little bit of homework. Grab a coffee and aim to end up with a magic number in front of you.
Questions? That's why I'm here. 😉

THE ATTORNEY General's office in Eire is at the centre of a new political crisis that is almost a carbon copy of the one which brought down the government headed by Prime Minister Albert Reynolds just seven months ago.
The only casualty so far has been the senior legal assistant in charge of the Attorney General's office, Matthew Russell, who has been forced to take early retirement. But Opposition parties are calling for the resignation of new Prime Minister, John Bruton, and his recently appointed Attorney General Dermot Gleeson.
The original crisis was caused by a seven-month delay in the Attorney General's office in dealing with a warrant for the extradition to Northern Ireland of a paedophile priest, Father Brendan Smyth, currently serving a jail sentence there for serious sexual offences against children.
The crisis not only forced Reynolds and his government from office, it also led to the resignation of the newly appointed president of the Irish High Court, Harry Whelehan, who had been Attorney General at the time. He had been on the bench for just two days.
The new crisis also centres on another delay in the Attorney General's office involving the Fr Smyth case. This time a letter from a solicitor acting on behalf of the priest's Belfast victims, seeking compensation for injury suffered as a result of the extradition delay, lay unanswered in the Attorney General's office for five months.
Russell, who has worked in the office for over 20 years, handled both the warrant and letter. He has now admitted the delay in acknowledging the letter was an error of judgement and has agreed to retire immediately, with a golden handshake of close to £140,000.
Russell resisted attempts to remove him from the Attorney General's office during the previous crisis, when he was blamed for delay over the extradition warrant.
Prime Minister Bruton has apologised to Fr Smyth's victims for the delay but Opposition parties say he should resign, as Reynolds had to do.
The crisis is complicated by the fact that Gleeson had a lawyer-client relationship with Russell before his appointment. This precluded him from assessing Russell's culpability in the latest crisis and from recommending what action should be taken against him.
Gleeson told him about this potential conflict of interest before he was appointed Attorney General, but the public and Parliament only learned of it when the new crisis broke. Now the Opposition claims Bruton showed bad judgement in appointing Gleeson in such circumstances.

Common eye problems
Blocked tear duct (sticky eye):
If your baby has a tear duct that is narrower than normal or not fully developed, it will result in a build-up of tears in the eye which are unable to drain away through the tear duct into the nose. This inability to drain away may cause your baby's eye to appear constantly wet (which is why this condition is often referred to as 'sticky eye').
- 90% of babies born with a blocked tear duct will have it naturally resolve itself by the time they are 12 months old.
- Occasionally the tear duct can become infected, resulting in a white or yellow discharge for the eye and perhaps swelling or redness around the tear duct. In this case, antibiotics may be advisable.
- Excess tears and any sticky discharge can be cleaned away regularly with a damp cloth.
- Massage of the tear duct does seem to help the tears to drain away, so ask your baby health nurse how to do this.
- If the blocked tear duct hasn't resolved itself by 12 months, your baby may be required to undergo a simple operation to open it using a fine probe.
- Conjunctivitis is caused by an infection of the lining of the eyelids and of the outer protective layer of the eye (the conjunctiva). It can be caused by a bacteria or virus or by allergies.
- Conjunctivitis will make your baby's eyes appear red, and they will feel gritty and usually produce pus.
- If the cause of the infection is bacteria, it's very likely that the conjunctivitis will appear in both eyes – though, perhaps not at the same time.
- A virus-based conjunctivitis may only appear in one eye and will cause profuse watering and itchiness of the affected eye.
- Allergy-based conjunctivitis usually has other accompanying allergy symptoms – hay fever, itchy eyes, twitchy nose.

Hypermiling — Doin' It Yet?
January 24th, 2013 by Zachary Shahan
We've featured hypermiling and hypermilers once or twice over the years (well, actually, just once as far as I can tell). Upon reflection, I think we should really give this topic a bit more attention. Luckily, sister site sustainablog just had a story on hypermiling, and we can re-start our hypermiling coverage with a repost of that piece. Here it is:
Hypermiling: the (Not So) Crazy Things Some Will Do for Better Gas Mileage (via sustainablog)
Hypermiling is a relatively recent term––one that has only been around since the early 2000s––focused on finding ways to squeeze the maximum fuel efficiency out of vehicles, provoked by rising fuel costs and environmental concerns. It combines methods first developed during WWII petrol rationing…

Misery and Hate
Bitterly, I cry. I knew this was the wrong thing to do, but now it's all too late. I can't tell you the truth because you'll hate me even more. Perhaps more than I hate myself.
I hate myself because of what I did, but I hate myself more because of what it made me do. The lies I told to cover up for everything I was driven to do by that one, unquenchable desire: love. Perhaps I really was in love. Pathetic, for someone of my age to be held so by such a petty thing. Pathetic, for someone of my age to go to such extremes.
And then to be driven to lie to cover up the truth.
Every day when I'm getting dressed I have to look at my arm. The scar is fading but not faded, a brown line that will remain perhaps forever. It cuts across like a road through open countryside. It's a symbol of my pain. It's a symbol of my desperation.
It wasn't death I wanted. More that I wanted attention. Yes, that was it: I was a selfish attention seeker. Well, I've paid the price now. The hatred I feel for myself and revulsion at my actions is more than I ever thought I would pay for one moment.
And yet when my friends ask me why I have an answer: because the pain outside makes the pain inside not seem so bad. They never understand what I mean, but of course I do. And it seems to make perfect sense.
A lot of things make sense when you're hurting.
But now that I'm happy again it only takes a glance for me to sink back into a well of hatred. Did I know at the time that I would feel this way? Somehow I doubt it. Self harm seems at first such a glorious prospect and yet here I am. I can never forgive myself.
I hate myself far too much to ever let go.

Of special note are the wetlands, which serve as our sewage treatment system and source of water for community trees. All gray and black water going down any drain in Milagro travels through two septic tanks and then into the vegetated treatment beds of our subsurface constructed wetlands.
These treatment beds are planted with sedges; the digesting bacteria on their roots clean up whatever comes their way, and the class X effluent is pumped, all underground, along the pathway to water our fruit, nut and shade trees. That's why they look so healthy, without using much potable water!
Community Gardens and Food Trees
The community is planted with several fruit and nut trees from figs to jojoba. We are enjoying the challenges of growing vegetables in Tucson's arid climate.
Energy Conservation
Our home are constructed with 15" adobe walls and colored concrete floors for thermal mass, and oriented to take advantage of passive solar principles. Solar hot water heaters were installed on all homes during construction. We are also exploring new ways of accessing reusable energy sources and using energy more efficiently.
