Maybelline the Rocket Volum' Express Mascara
35 comments:
I love those footie pj's!ReplyDelete
You and your mom are too cute!!ReplyDelete
The picture with your mom is just so cute. I always love it when you have her in your videos :)! She just seems to be such a nice person!ReplyDelete
I just purchased this mascara a couple of days ago, and it does make my eyelashes VERY hard. But it does make them very long and thick. So I guess it's 50/50 :)ReplyDelete
Funny, I actually like that mascara way better than the covergirl, which flaked on me. I am not sure if you have only tried it a few times, but I found after a week or so my lashes actually started to feel more soft and flexible when it was on, while the covergirl one kept them feel super brittle and crunchy.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the review Emily! I saw this mascara at Ulta yesterday and considered buying it but decided to skip it in lieu of getting a couple of other things. I'm glad you did this review so now I'm not tempted to go back and get it! :DReplyDelete
I've read mixed reviews on this mascara. Those pj's are adorable :)ReplyDelete
Stephen Tyler pjs:)ReplyDelete
Hi Emily, I have annoying straight Asian lashes and need waterproof to make it curl. I love lash blast, but it smudges on me. Any suggestions to get it to stop? I hear lash primers can help, but I've never used one before. Thanks!ReplyDelete
In general, Maybelline Falsies and Full and Soft mascaras are my faves.ReplyDelete
I had to lol,because you and your mom look so nice.Also thanks, for the heads up on the mascara.I don't know for some reason I'm into mascaras.I guess makeup period.....ReplyDelete
Long time youtube follower, first time commenter. You and your mom are so adorable. :)ReplyDelete
Your videos are pretty much directly responsible for me spending at least $50 on drugstore makeup in the past couple days. So, THANKS!
I just purchased this mascara, and I do find that it dries quickly & thickens, but it makes my lashes look nice :) I appreciate the review!ReplyDelete
You and your mom looks cute in the footie pjs! Would like to get some for myself now. Haha =pReplyDelete
You mother makes footie pajamas look regal. Is she wearing pearls? :DReplyDelete
You and your mum look so cute together ^^ Thanks for the mascara review, by the way! xxReplyDelete
I want to try that mascara just because I want to see if I get the same effect. Also, I saw your latest "get ready with me" video and you used a different mascara. I think it's called "Clump Crusher" or something like that. Did you review that one? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the review of the mascara! I'd been wondering about that one. Also, I love the photo of you and your mom. Have a great day! :)ReplyDelete
Great review and just the way I felt about the mascara. Just to use the tube up, I'm using my old stand by Maybelline Full and Soft as a base coat and then using the Volum'Express as a second coat. I like it that way.ReplyDelete

The Almay Get up and grow mascara is one really GOOD mascara. I've at least purchased 3 tubes :-)ReplyDelete
You and your mom are so darn cute! Footie PJs FTW!ReplyDelete
- Jen
I like this one more than Lash Blast, simply because I cannot get over the smell of Lash Blast. This one reminds me more of the Lash Blast Fusion than the normal Lash Blast though. It's perfect when I wear it over my XXL Pro Extensions mascara.ReplyDelete
This doesn't make my lashes hard at all! (I'm sitting here feeling them, lol) Maybe I just have a lighter hand. I find that for my lashes, since there already long and full and I just need to push them out a little, this type of brush and formula works best.ReplyDelete

I won't be buying this mascara! I normally love maybelline mascaras I don't want my lashes to feel crunchy.ReplyDelete
You and your Mother look fabulous! I hope you have her accompany you in more vids. I really appreciate her info.I'm 50 yrs young.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Love your reviews, Emily! You usually end up saving me a few bucks :)ReplyDelete
Please check out my blog! http://shimmernsparkle26.blogspot.com/
Maybelline Falsies is my current mascara of choice. I've tried others but I always find myself going back to it. I also tried Almay Get Up and Grow but didn't like how they made my lashes lose my curl. I would put it on and then in a few seconds they would be straight as an arrow. Yuck. LOL.ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this mascara! It doesn't flake or smudge on me at all. Love wearing it alone or over top of Maybelline's One by One.ReplyDelete

I wasn't a fan of this mascara too much either, the formula is too wet!ReplyDelete
I really like this mascara :) it gave my lashes so much volume lol but it's really hard to have it come off :( even though mine says it's not waterproof... I'm definitely going to try the other mascaras you've mentioned :)ReplyDelete

The Missing Gospels (3 of 3)
Mr. Mark Yarbrough: Welcome to DTS Dialogue: Issues of God in Culture. I'm your host Mark Yarbrough, Executive Director of Communications at Dallas Theological Seminary. Today our discussion topic is "The Missing Gospels."
Well, what advice would you give? We're going to have a lot of listeners that get caught up in this discussion. You know they have it at the cooler at the workplace. And, it is going to surface in regards to the reliability of the Bible.
What advice would you give people, when it goes that direction? It really is the question that your son, hypothetically had there. What would you say to people that are out there. They've listened to this discussion. They've been able to make the distinctions. They know they can separate the two with time, with theological issues. There is a reason it was not included in the canon that we had. When the discussion goes toward the reliability of what we do have. What would you say to them?
Dr. Daniel Wallace: I would say that one of the things that they need to wrestle with is a recognition that these Gnostic gospels are, for the most part, non-narrative gospels. They are not something that is memory in community. It is secret sayings given to one person so that this one individual knows what Jesus is really like. It doesn't connect with history.
The gospels of The New Testament do connect with history very strongly. You hear about people, places, things that Jesus did. It speaks about eyewitnesses. Paul says 500 brothers and sisters at one time saw the risen Lord, most of whom are still alive. That kind of a comment is meant to tell us that there is some verification that we can have historically about what is going on here.
You just don't have that in the Gnostic gospels at all and, consequently, even though people are, as Hall said, interested in this conspiracy theory. The fact is that it's a completely non-verifiable kind of a gospel. My recommendation for Christians would be to go back and look at the Gospels and recognize that this is essentially talking about God, who had become man in human flesh. It is God invading time, space, history in the person of Jesus Christ.
Consequently, it is meant to be taken as an historical narrative that we can verify and test. The Gnostic gospels can not be. I would like to see Christians start engaging in resting with that very issue and realize that their Christianity is not something that they can just take for granted. But, they need to start thinking about some of these historical issues.
Mark: Well, there is a great challenge out of that. It says know what The New Testament gospels say. It is short and sweet.
Dr. Darrell Bock: I think it is important to appreciate the fact that these Gnostic materials were inherently divisive works. What I mean by that is that there is the secret knowledge that only SOME Christians have. It is only intended for the group that is in "the know." That is the Gnostic part of it, if you will. Even the Apostles aren't in "the know." It is only these people who got this special revelation, who were kind of cut away from the Apostles. So, in that sense, there is that quality of the material.
There is a tonal issue that I think is important. That is a lot of people who ask these questions, are asking, in many cases, very sincere questions. I like to tell people to distinguish between the people who are promoting this material.
One of the reasons this stuff is so in the public square, is that you have some publishers who are literally publishing book after book after book after book. It is really the same stuff. It is just repackaged year after year after year after year. Purporting it as new, as sensational findings, that kind of thing. It has finally penetrated the public square.
The people who are doing the publishing know what they are doing. But, the people who are reading the books being published are simple absorbing information, in what is largely a vacuum of knowledge that they don't have. So, because there is nothing else that goes in and these works are said to come from experts, they are tending to trust this material that they are being told about. And, so it is very important to understand that some people are asking very sincere questions because of what they've heard.
I think their questions need to be treated with respect, with sincerity, while dealing with the data. Rather than our tendency sometimes is to say, well, you're being gullible. You've just been looped in. Well, I don't think it is always that sinister. In some cases, it is a very honest engagement that the person has when they are asking these questions.
Dr. Hall Harris: I agree with that. I really don't think this is rocket science. I really don't think it takes a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies, or in New Testament Studies or in ancient history to sit down and read The Gospel of Matthew or The Gospel of John or The Gospel of Luke or The Gospel of Mark and put it over against The Gospel of Thomas or The Gospel of Judas or The Acts of Paul and Thecla or some of these other works that are out there.
Because, you can read them and you can see that these are just not the same thing. One of the key things of points of difference in almost all the Gnostic works is that if an apostle or famous Christian figure, like Thomas or Judas or Peter or Paul gets mentioned, they get mentioned as an individual. "This is Judas speaking" or it's spoken to Judas or about Judas or "This is Thomas speaking."
What you don't have is the Eleven or the Twelve, the Apostles, speaking with a unified voice. So this is our testimony, collectively, about who Jesus is, like you have at the end of Johns Gospel, we get this plural "we," "We know that what this one said is true." You get the unified testimony speaking.
Not that there are no differences. There are differences in perspective and emphasis and characterization and other types of things. But the underlying theological unity of the canonical, the New Testament Gospels, is set over against this shotgun approach of all the Gnostic works that go in every direction with no real unity and no unified voice.
Dan: It's really the difference between secret knowledge on the one hand and memory in the community in the other.
Mark: That's a good way to say it.
What resources are out there? People need to become familiar with this and we get questions and phone calls all the time, and hundreds of emails on this particular topic. What resources would you recommend?
Darrell: One resource I'd recommend is just pick up a copy of the Gospel of Judas online. You can do it through National Geographic and read through it, it's only about seven pages long. It doesn't take very long. It's a very representative work of what these Gnostic gospels are like.
I now sometimes teach a Sunday school class in which I take people though it in an hour with a lot of interest and curiosity. When they're done I say, when the discussion about what are those others gospels, what about them? You can say, "Well, have you ever read one of these works all the way through?" and you can say "Yeah, I've read one of them. I've been through the Gospel of Judas."
So sometimes as Paul was suggesting earlier, this isn't rocket since you don't need a Ph.D., if you have the academic qualifications of being able to read, then you can get through this material and you can see for yourself what's going on. Now beyond that in terms of resources we can engage in some selfish self-promotion here and the way I'll do it is mention Dan's book.
Dan: I'll reciprocate you!
Mark: That's great!
Darrell: Dan's has done a book called, Reinventing Jesus. He's done it with Ed Komoszewski, who graduated here a several years ago, and Jim Sawyer, who did as well. It is a survey of the various issues that come up in relationship to the historical Jesus, written for a popular audience. It's written so that you don't need a rocket science degree before you undertake it. You might need a spelling degree before you can spell the names of the authors but that's a different deal. Anyway, but it's very, very well done in a very, very accessible book on the wide range of issues related to Jesus.
Mark: Yes it is. Excellent book.
Dan: Darrell has written a book called The Missing Gospels, which just dovetails into exactly what we're talking about today. So that's the one to get to follow up on our conversation here today.
Mark: OK. So we've got a couple books. Any other resources that we want to talk about?
Darrell: Well we can tell people to keep their eyes open for something. We're working right now; Dan and I are working on a book that is tentatively titled, Dethroning Jesus. Not because we are trying to do so, but because we are discussing how Jesus is being handled in the public square.
We're going to take on a look at several books that have been New York Times Bestsellers, or have come close to the bestseller list, related to the public display and discussion of who Jesus is and analyze them for what they're doing both with respect to Jesus and how the Bible is being handled.
That book will hopefully be out this time next year. It will be a very helpful look at many of these issues. Thomas and Judas are going to be discussed directly and then we're also going to discuss some of the major books that have come out that have kind of caught the public's attention in that last few years.
Mark: Hmm, that's great. Guys, thank you so much for your time. Greatly appreciate it. Again, busy time of the year, busy time of the semester, and we thank you for sparing the time for us. Why don't we close with a word of prayer? Hall, would you lead us?
Hall: Sure. Our gracious Heavenly Father, we do thank you that we do have the opportunity to look at the documents which have been left for us and to see in them our Lord Jesus Christ with the testimony of the apostolic eye witnesses to affirm it's truthfulness. We pray to this, we continue to examine these issues and as we are confronted by the ongoing discussion in the public square that You by Your Spirit would guide us and help us to be a good and vibrant witness, a testimony to the truth of the gospel as contained in these apostolic eye witnesses and to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is in His name that we pray. Amen.

Looking to bring cutting-edge capabilities to Web development, the company behind the Famo.us JavaScript framework formally launched this week is working on improvements, including multiview and multimode capabilities.
Famo.us CEO Steve Newcomb says projects in the lab at the company include multiview support, which would allow objects to be dragged from one screen to another on different devices. Multimode support would enable applications to be rendered to multiple types of devices via HTML, Canvas, and WebGL simultaneously.
Famo.us is intended to bring native-like experiences to the Web development realm. Advanced UI capabilities, focusing on manipulation and sizing, already are available in Famo.us, Newcomb said. He equated Famo.us's capabilities to what can be done with the Facebook Paper app. The company wants "beautiful" HTML apps to be the standard.
To encourage developers, Famo.us has launched Famo.us University for online developer education. There are 14 courses currently available, along with two final projects implementing the course material. Engines, templates, widgets, and integrations in Famo.us are available as free Zip files.

This is some nice little run here by your New York Rangers. OK, they lost to Montreal, and didn't play their usual grind-it-out game that night. Imagine if they had. Imagine what this would-be five-game winning streak might look like?
So now the Rangers have Western pelts of Vancouver, Dallas, St. Louis, Nashville, Phoenix and the defending Stanley Cup champs from Chicago. And they have beaten Pittsburgh (twice, on the road) and Washington (soundly), and Boston, some of the beasts of the Least.
Say what you want about barometers. That's eye-opening stuff. And they have a chance to add Philly, the East's top team — which has a pair of 4-1 victories over the Rangers this season — on Sunday at MSG.
1) I thought that second period was as good a period as the Rangers have played all year, and the way they defended in the third, against all those weapons, was almost as good.
2) Boyle+Prust=Double Monster (that's for you, Mickey).
3) Seriously, as good as Lundqvist and Staal and Dubinsky and Girardi and Prust and everybody else was, Brian Boyle was the best player in the game. He's probably the most improved player in the league and certainly one of the most important players to any team. What would the odds have been that those words might ever be spoken, back in September?
4) That stuff with John Tortorella saying they couldn't win that game 1-0 before the game and then, by the longest of long shots, it actually happening, was ridiculous and hilarious. And Tortorella took a lot of ribbing for it, and handled it great (see last night's quotes thread).
5) Speaking of which, a lot of the big hockey writers are taking notice and jumping on our Tortorella/Jack Adams Award bandwagon now, and rightly so. Of course, that is one award that is voted upon by the broadcasters, not the writers. On the downside for Torts, he might have ticked off some broadcasters last year — guys who haven't had the opportunity to have banter with the New Torts this year. On the upside, Tortorella treats a lot of the visiting 'casters pretty well, and he himself was a broadcaster for a while, so he knows a lot of them. On the flat side, Tortorella probably couldn't care less if he wins the award. But he absolutely deserves it.
6) Speaking of which, Puck Daddy did his list yesterday of the most disappointing player for each team over the first half. The Rangers' was Alex Frolov. Ironically, Phoenix's was Wojtek Wolski. And also on the list were perennial disappointers, Alex Kovalev and Nik Zherdev.
7) Too bad that Marc Staal couldn't stand up after Alex Burrows tried to neuter him, because I think Staal would have beaten the holy hell out of him instead of trying to break his ankle with his stick and taking that penalty. Staal and Burrows had some pretty good battles all night, but that shot to the protective cup (which really isn't so protective, is it?) should be a suspendable offense. Staal and Dan Girardi — as we say almost daily now — were fabulous against the Sedins, as were Boyle, Prust and Ruslan Fedotenko.
8) Henrik Lundqvist is back to being the elite-level goalie he usually is, and it couldn't come at a better time. The Rangers have won four of five while scoring a total of nine goals. Credit Lundqvist (and Martin Biron). He (they) will have to be this good down the stretch, because the Rangers will have times when they struggle for goals. And the King will have to be this good in the playoffs.
9) I really like the young (which one isn't?) defense pair of McDonagh and Gilroy. I still think Michael Del Zotto is a big, big piece of the Rangers future, and has the tools to perhaps be the best of all the young defensemen they have, but it's going to be difficult for him to replace one of the current six, and it makes no sense for him to be here as a seventh, even though I think the Rangers would love to have him back here soon. So it's a dilemma for now. Though you know there will always be nicks and bruises, if not worse, on defense.
10) I thought this was Chris Drury's best game of the season, even with the inadvertent delay penalty (on which, by the way, the linesman closest to the play, said the puck ticked off the glass, and indeed was arguing with the Canucks' bench even while the referee was over at the penalty box making the call). Drury, Sean Avery and Dale Weise were effective, though with the matching of Boyle against the Sedins, and the need to get the Gaborik and Dubinsky lines on the ice, limited the fourth line's minutes.
11) A lot of stuff happened on that winning power-play goal. Dubinsky was chased from the faceoff dot. Wolski stepped in and, in effect, lost the draw. Gaborik stepped up and regained the puck, though, and set up Dubinsky for a shot. Gaborik drove to the net and rang the rebound off the post. Wolski drove to the net and banged in the rebound. Good stuff, even if not textbook.

15 Ultimate Trips of a Lifetime
It was on a formative postcollege trip to India that Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig came up with the idea to found their hit fashion label, Marchesa. In the near decade that has elapsed since, the two have continued to slake their thirst for travel. Recent jaunts have taken them to the Dominican Republic, Peru, Saint Lucia, and St. Barts, with Beijing next on the docket.
Debuting for fall, their contemporary collection, Marchesa Voyage, is the jet-setting duo's take on a packable wardrobe. Chapman avers that the clothes make sense "whether a woman is traveling to a remote island, going to work, or running errands on the weekend." The pair drew on places such as India's City Palace in Jaipur and Bengal tiger reserves as inspiration for the exotic wares, which include peasant tops and loose printed pants.
Of course, these days the designers aren't just traveling with a backpack and a map. Chapman's daughter and son, three-year-old India and four-month-old Dashiell, and Craig's three-year-old daughter, Delilah, are frequent companions. Once the kids are older, Craig says, they're planning to take them on a repeat of the India trip that started it all.
"Sensory overload," says Rachel Roy when asked to describe her impression of a recent trip to India—her first to her father's home country since she was a child—where she and her daughter Ava, 13, traveled to New Delhi, Bombay, Goa, and Agra. "There's a richness—and I don't mean there are castles everywhere, although we did go to the Taj Mahal—but in how fabrics are dipped in brighter dyes and everyone's wearing them."
What Roy is trying to express is the positive visual effect of more than a billion people wearing intense color. She went to the subcontinent to oversee production of a limited-edition bag in collaboration with FEED Foundation, Lauren Bush Lauren's charity dedicated to ending world hunger; each purchase of the cotton totes, block-printed by hand with a tessellated heart pattern and adorned with jade, orange, red, yellow, and white tassels, will provide 100 meals to schoolchildren. The journey was so inspiring that Roy came home with a long-term goal: to create a fair-trade line based in India, where, as the designer puts it, "art is everywhere, from storefronts to painted cows."

A property that has caused major issues for the City of Stirling for a quarter of a century has finally been sold to new owners.
The City had faced issues including excessive cats, illegal camping and the accumulation of rubbish at the Sixth Road property since 1987.
The property belonged to Ursula Dueschen, who in recent years had illegally camped in the property with her daughter Tatyana, after the fire damaged house on the land was demolished.
The property was sold for $1.17 million at auction on Friday after 13 people registered their interest in bidding for the property.
The auction followed approval by the Magistrates Court for the sale to go ahead.
According to a City of Stirling spokeswoman, a loophole had previously existed which did not allow for the forced sale of the property as Ursula Dueschen's deceased husband's name still appeared on the title.
City of Stirling mayor David Boothman described the latest development as "brilliant news."
"The City will be looking to recoup the costs incurred over the 25 years this ordeal has played out which is in order of $325,000," he said.
"The land can now be sold, the various creditors paid, and the remainder dispersed to Mrs Dueschen to see out her life in comfort."
In the 25 years since the first complaint from a neighbor, City representatives made hundreds of visits to the property.
They issued dozens of formal notices on multiple issues including removal of rubbish; reduction in number of cats on the property; repair of property; maintenance of adequate water supply; electrical and gas services and removal of overgrowth in addition to conducting multiple ratepayer funded clean-up's of the site.
In 2008 the City, under an order from the State Administrative Tribunal, demolished a fire-damaged residence on the property.
The Dueschens camped illegally at the site for an extended period, which saw the Magistrates Court issue fines amounting to $422,603 in 2010.
Tatyana Dueschen worked off her $165,000 worth of fines by serving 10 months in prison from March 2011 to January 2012.
Mr Boothman said the sale of the property would be a welcome relief to many.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - One in four homeowners is insured by the state's insurer of last resort. It's named Citizens because taxpayers are responsible for any losses.
Rates are capped by state lawmakers and are often 30 percent below what private insurers would charge. That makes finding private companies to write in Florida a challenge.
"I think we would love to see some changes in Citizens. I think that would be good for Florida businesses," said Brewster Bevis, of Associated Industries of Florida.
Because so many are in Citizens, raising rates is politically difficult. So the business group Associated Industries has released an interactive map showing each member of the Legislature how many of their constituents rely on Citizens.
What the map shows is that the vast majority of legislative districts don't have a lot of exposure.
The dark blue areas are less than 10 percent. The hot spots are the Keys, where 99 percent are in Citizens. In Ft. Lauderdale, it's 71 percent; Sarasota, 65 percent; the same in west central Florida.
Advocates for policy holders say the map is an effort to pit lawmakers against one another.
"What this map is suggesting is that the lawmakers from areas of the state that aren't affected with their consumers screw the rest of the policy holders of the state that are dependent on Citizens," said Kevin Cate, of Policy Holders of Florida.
Citizens rate increases are capped at 10 percent a year. But over the next 60 days, lawmakers will decide if that's enough to protect the 3 million homeowners who are not citizens and who are on the hook if a company can't pay its claims.
House Speaker Will Weatherford, who will have a lot to say about rates, has just more than one in five constituents in Citizens. He favors a balanced approach.

A MOTHER of two from Trull is embarking on a New Year challenge with a difference.
Ruth Streeter, 38, plans not only to lose weight in the next six months, but to do it while raising money to support children at an orphanage in India.
Ruth, an employment law solicitor, is trustee for one of the church charities which raise money for the New Life Children's Home and its associated school, New Life Academy in Kaitkund.
Along with Kay Whiteley, a member of Vineyard Church who helped set up the project in 2005, Ruth visited the orphanage in November.
She said: "It was absolutely tearjerking, and though I've done a lot of travelling I've never done anything like this at all.
"It's so different to what you see on things like Comic Relief because you're there and it really hits you.
"As a mum to two healthy little boys who have everything they need I was heartbroken seeing the beautiful kids at the children's home in India, so I want to raise funds to give them even just a glimpse of the privilege we have here."
The school teaches not only children from the orphanage, but also youngsters from surrounding villages, and now it has 120 pupils.
Ruth is hoping to raise money to pay for teachers' salaries, and is hoping other people will get involved or sponsor her.
She is being supported by the fitness group she attends which is run by Richard Hannam at FT Fitness.
He will be running a charity weight loss challenge lasting three or six months for people to join.
You can donate £10 to enter the challenge or do a sponsored weight loss over three or six months for the charity, raising a minimum of £10.
Ruth said: "I know this could potentially be very humiliating for me, but I wanted to do something I know I'd find difficult to help the children.
"There won't be any public humiliation for anyone else taking part and you don't have to join FT Fitness – it's just for a really good cause."
Ruth will be giving a talk to tell people more about the charity and the challenge on Monday, January 6, at 7.30pm at the Canonsgrove Sports Hall in Staplehay, Trull.
For more information, to register or support Ruth, visit www.FT-fitness. co.uk and click on the 'Charity weight loss challenge' tab for more details.
You can also call Richard on 07530- 917867 or email ftfitnesstaunton@ gmail.com
"The difference between the kids who had recently arrived at the home who were malnourished, sad and lost, and those who had been there a while made me appreciate just what has been achieved since the mission started. "
While this mission is a drop in the ocean it's a project which makes a real difference.
"Nothing received goes to waste, and the kids now have a real chance to escape poverty and have dreams," Ruth added.

PREPARATIONS are underway for a parade through the streets of Accrington to commemorate the start of the First World War.
On Tuesday, July 1, 120 soldiers from the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment will march through the town to exercise their freedom of the borough.
Colonel Chris Owen said: "It is a tremendous honour for the Regiment and its soldiers to exercise the freedom of Hyndburn, and it is fitting that we will do so in the home town of the Accrington Pals on the anniversary of their great sacrifice.
"Parades such as this give us an opportunity to publicly express our gratitude to the communities our soldiers come from.
"We very much look forward to July 1 and to thanking the people of Hyndburn for their long-standing and continued support."
Hyndburn Council leader Miles Parkinson said: "The history of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment is linked with the Accrington Pals, so it is fitting that they have chosen this the centenary year of the outbreak of the First World War to exercise their freedom of the borough.
"Everyone is invited and warmly welcomed to come along and see the parade, which will give us all the opportunity to show our appreciation for the regiment's gallant and courageous service."
The time of the march, and the route, is set to be announced on Monday, June 16.
The Freedom Parade is part of a programme of activities running from 2014 to 2018 in Hyndburn to coincide with the programme of national commemorations of the First World War.
Before heading off to the front line, where they suffered huge losses in the Battle of the Somme, the Pals marched through Accrington to cheers from residents.

After ditching its long-standing policy of never commenting on future interest rates in order to launch "forward guidance" last week, the European Central Bank has landed itself into something of a pickle as to what it really means when it says rates will stay at or below their current level for an "extended period".
Mario Draghi, ECB president, was pressed on the question immediately after launching the policy last Thursday and said:
Well, I said an extended period of time is an extended period of time: it is not six months, it is not 12 months – it is an extended period of time.
That is from the official ECB transcript and has punctuation that helps to suggest that Mr Draghi was refusing to say it was any given period of time. However it was also clearly open to misinterpretation and that is why a certain amount of briefing took place after the press conference in which officials made clear that what Mr Draghi meant to do was avoid giving an answer on a time frame, rather than suggest rates would be low for at least 12 months.
So today's comments by Jörg Asmussen, a member of the six-person ECB executive board and close ally of Mr Draghi, were all the more surprising. Read more

With over 50,000 catalogue records in the Anthropology Department database, proper collections management policies and procedures are essential when tracking down either a collection item or it's associated documentation. Each of these records represents at least one object in the collection, and at times may represent hundreds of items as occurs in our Archaeology collections where one number has been assigned to several hundred lithics or potsherds. Our goal is to successfully find any requested object, in storage, within five minutes.
Proper Collections Management includes conducting consistent and ongoing inventories, updating the Collections database to reflect current understanding of the collections based on research, problem-solving, and consultation, as well as addressing the physical condition of the objects. Rehousing using archival quality support material following Conservation best practices and methods is a key part of the work.
In 2009, the Department of Anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science was awarded $321,449 by the Save America's Treasures and Institute for Museum and Library Services programs to complete a survey on the Anthropology Collections, to conduct preventive and interventive conservation to mitigate threats against the collections, and to create finding aides for the associated documentation.
The Anthropology Department hired two full-time Collections Management Assistants, Bethany Williams and Bridget Sabo, who worked with Anthropology Collections Manager, Isabel Tovar, to gain intellectual and physical control of the collections. Part of their efforts included thorough inventory, problem-solving, and processing of material, as well as determining special storage needs for the collections. In collaboration with Conservator, Julie Parker, hired specifically for this project, the Collections Manager and Assistants created archival storage for the collections to prevent further damage to the material.
The Archives Department hired an Archives Technician, Aly Jabrocki, who focused her efforts on processing and creating finding aides for the papers of Ruth Underhill.
For more information on either of our sponsors, please visit their websites below:
In 2008, the Conservation and Anthropology Departments at the
Denver Museum of Nature & Science were awarded $149,827 by the
Institute for Museum and Library Services program to complete a
preventive conservation project on the over 700 Latin American
textiles in the Anthropology Collections.
The first phase of the project began in October of 2008 and
included a full inventory of the collection during which detailed
object analysis was completed on each item. Further research into
the documentation files provided even deeper provenience
information. All of this data was entered into a spreadsheet, a
complete version of which will be posted soon, once document
cleanup is finished. Fourteen volunteers donated 1,034 hours to
this portion of the project.
Also during this first phase, storage conditions for the
collection were vastly improved by the installation of new museum
quality storage cabinets. Due to lack of space and funds, these
items had previously been stored in very tight conditions. For many
years, they had been wrapped in plastic bags and stacked an average
of thirty at a time in large boxes. This made access to the items
very difficult for research. Once the new cabinets were installed
in July 2009, project team members Isabel Tovar and Bridget Sabo
systematically unwrapped and individually laid out each item in the
Latin American textile collection in preparation for rehousing.
Beginning in September of 2009. the second phase of the project
included construction of custom designed archival boxes and
internal support mounts to better preserve the objects.
Twenty-eight specially trained volunteers donated 1,912 hours of
their skill and creativity to individually address storage needs
for the collection. Boxes were built out of archival board and
polyethylene rivets to the individual item dimensions. Catalogue
numbers were hand written in archival pen on each box, and
individually laser printed tags were hand sewn on to each item for
tracking purposes. Internal support pads and mounts were custom
sewn to avoid creasing of the textiles along folds or to maintain
the three-dimensional aspect of the item.
During the summer of 2011, Andrew van der Heever, Robert L.
Akerley Intern for the Department of Anthropology, completed
photography of the collection in order to more easily share the
these items with the public. He also completed a general survey of
the collection as follows:
The Department of Anthropology at the Denver Museum of Nature
& Science (DMNS) holds a collection of over 700 textile objects
from Central and South America. The types of items range from
shirts, pants, scarf's and belts to rugs, bags and hats. They were
collected from the early- to late-20th century by
various parties and represent a range of countries in Latin
Provenience issues do exist with many of the items in the
collection. Sometimes donors offered the objects to the museum but
the documentation on the origins of the items is no longer
available. On the other hand some objects have very good
geographical and cultural provenience; these objects will be
focused on in the following section.
Within the Latin American textiles collection, 5 major
contributing individuals or groups stand out based on the amount of
material donated to DMNS. First are Dr. Michael and Mrs. Mannetta
Braunstein who collected and donated 142 objects represented in
this collection from various regions in Guatemala. They collected
from 1950 to 1999 after which the items were donated to the
A generous donation of 68 objects in the collection came from
the Crane Foundation. Francis and Mary Crane, along with former
Curator of Ethnology Joyce Herold, were responsible for what can be
seen in today's Crane Hall of North American Indian Cultures
exhibit. The Cranes were interested in anthropological materials of
Native Americans and so worked for many years acquiring objects
from trade posts, dealers, private collectors, and obscure shops as
well as personally collecting them from various regions of the
Americas. Several items in their collection were left to them
through inheritance from family members. They actively collected
from 1954 to 1968 at which point the material was transferred
to the DMNS. The regions covered by these 68 objects are Guatemala,
Ecuador and Peru.
Dr. Robert and Mrs. Imogene W. Waugh collected and then donated
67 objects from Guatemala, Colombia, Panama and Peru. The Waughs
collected from 1973 to 1979 and then donated their collection to
the DMNS in 1991. A part of their collection was from a deceased
family friend. These objects came to them during the 1990's and
they subsequently donated it to DMNS.
Mr. Thomas P. and his first wife, Mrs. Arletta Ahrens, collected
58 objects from Chile and Peru. They were actively collecting from
1930 to 1940 while Thomas was working in South America as a water
engineer. In 1961 he and his second wife Helen Ahrens donated a
portion of this collection to the Crane's, with the remainder being
donated to DMNS by Helen after his death in 1976.
Mr. John M. Goggin collected 27 objects from Guatemala, Mexico,
Bolivia and Peru. He collected from all over the world during the
1950's and these 27 objects are a small representation of the
larger collection donated to the DMNS by his wife Mrs. Margaret
Knox Goggin in 1984.
Certain nations in Latin America such as Guatemala, Mexico, and
Peru are represented in much stronger numbers. However, Bolivia,
Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Argentina and Honduras, are also
represented in smaller numbers, and sometimes even by only a single
item. From the overall collection we have selected 16 objects that
represent the 3 major nations and 5 collectors/donors mentioned
above. Photographs of these objects can be seen in the slide show
Out of the regions represented in the collection we can see 7
distinctively different cultures. These are Mayan, associated with
Mexico and Guatemala; Aymara, associated with Bolivia; Cuna,
associated with Panama; Inca, associated with Ecuador; Quechua,
associated with Peru and Bolivia, and Tehuana, associated with
Mexico. There are many items with no regional provenience data as
well as many that do not have any associated cultural
A side note to Andrew van der Heever's 10 week project: To take
high quality pictures of the 703 objects in the collection, Andrew
needed to develop a method to capture even the larger textiles from
above with a birds-eye-view shot. He resolved this by laying the
object on a table, then proceeding up a 5 step ladder to a tripod
on the top step where he took a picture of one side of the object,
climbed down to turn the object over, walked back up the four steps
to photograph the reverse side, and came back down again. The end
of all of this stair climbing meant that Andrew would have climbed
5,624 steps. To put this into perspective, the Empire State
building in New York City is 1,860 stairs to the 102nd
floor, this means during the 10 weeks working on the project Andrew
climbed the Empire State building 3 times. No easy task!

Melissa Bechhoefer, Anthropology Collections Manager:
Melissa Bechhoefer joined the Museum as the anthropology collections manager and NAGPRA coordinator in 2012. She is responsible for the care, maintenance, and facilitation of the anthropology collections. She has 15 years of collections management and registration experience from her service at the Museum, History Colorado, the National Park Service, and the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History. She received her M.S. in museum and field studies from the University of Colorado at Boulder and B.A. in archaeology and geology from Oberlin College. Over the last 10 years, Melissa has been managing relatively large collections in both museum and off-site storage settings. Just before starting at the Museum, Melissa worked on the development and design of new museum and collection facilities and was responsible for numerous collections moves, experience that is beneficial as the Museum moves its collections into the new Rocky Mountain Science Collections Center.
Jeff Phegley, Anthropology Curatorial Assistant:
Jeff Phegley became the anthropology curatorial assistant in June 2014. This position is funded by a National Endowment for Humanities, American Ethnological Collection Grant. Jeff is archivally rehousing and relocating the anthropology collections to the Museum's new Rocky Mountain Science Collection Center. Jeff's previous professional positions include graduate assistant at the David T. Owsley Museum of Art in Muncie, Indiana, exhibits technician at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, head designer and preparator at the Bullseye Gallery in Portland, and printmaking technician at the University of Southampton Winchester School of Art in the United Kingdom.
Bethany Williams, Collections Assistant for the Science and Collections Initiative:
Bethany Williams has been working as collections assistant in the Department of Anthropology since August 2010. Her position is funded by the IMLS Save America's Treasures Grant. Long before starting in Anthropology, Bethany volunteered in the Museum's Education Collections. Volunteering inspired her to return to school, and she earned a graduate degree in anthropology with a focus on biological anthropology and archaeology at the University of Colorado at Denver. During her studies she worked as a research assistant for a biological anthropology field school in Tanzania for several summers, and helped design exhibits for a Visitors Center at Laetoli and the National Museum and House of Culture in Dar es Salaam. Throughout graduate school Bethany continued to volunteer at the Museum and was awarded a Robert L. Akerley Internship Award from the Department of Anthropology in 2010.
The Department of Anthropology receives help from a large group
of dedicated volunteers and interns. Some of our volunteers have
been with the Museum for over 25 years, while some have just
started. The number of people working with the Department varies
depending on the number and size of projects. At times we have
around 70 volunteers working on the larger grant rehousing
As of September 2011, we are between projects and have
around 15 active volunteers working on the
following projects:
Currently, the Department is not seeking new volunteers, however
as future projects arise, we will be open for availability.
The Department of Anthropology welcomes inquiries from the general public. Please do not bring the object(s) to the Museum as volunteers at the Information Desk are not able to accept Anthropology materials for review. If you have a question about an object in your care, please consult the instructions for Specimen Identification Requests & Donations. Your inquiry will then be passed along to the appropriate Curator for consideration.
The Department does not provide appraisals on material. Please visit the American Society of Appraisers, the Appraisers Association of America, or the International Society of Appraisers to find an appropriate appraiser.
Research visits to the Anthropology Collections require approval through the Deparment and at least two weeks notice to coordinate a time. Please note that visitation and work schedules for the Collections staff and Curators tend to fill up two months in advance, so more lead time is preferable. Visits will be arranged during regular public hours, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
Forms for access to the collections can be found on the Department of Anthropology's main page. Please review the Collection Use Agreement Form along with the Policies for Sensitive and Hazardous Collections document. Once you understand the expectations, fill out the Request for Access Form and return to the Collections Manager.
The Department cares for human remains and a number of sensitive items that are religious or ceremonial in nature. We make every effort to respectfully care for these entities, primarily collaborating with the communities from which they came. Human remains are stored in a secure location separate from the rest of the collections. Visits to these sensitive collections are severely restricted and require special permission to access.
The Department acquires new items for the collections if the appropriate Curator determines that they fit within the specifications of the Long-Term Collection and Research Plan. This Plan can be located at the main DMNS Collections webpage. The majority of new acquisitions are through donation as acquisition funds are severely limited. If you have a question regarding a potential donation to the Department, please email the Collections Manager photos of the object along with a basic description including information on how, when, and where you acquired the object(s). This information will then be passed along to the appropriate Curator for consideration.
The Department will review requests for loans from the collections on a case by case basis. The Guidelines for Borrowers document can be found on the Department of Anthropology's main page. Please note that due to the various steps required to complete loan requests, the Department requests at least four months between intial contact and the loan start date. There is no set fee for loans, however there may be costs associated with Conservation work, formal appraisals, object packing and transport.
Welcome to the Anthropology Department Collections page. Here you will find information on how we care for the items in our collection ranging from grant funded work to volunteer research and inventory projects.

"The magnets turned out even better than I expected. All the pictures looked really good with the chevron background and I received so many compliments."
"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."
"I would recommend this site to anyone! Their site was easy to navigate and find the perfect Save the Date for us and their costumer service was extremely helpful in creating a unique product."
"I used my own design for save the date magnets and was so happy with the outcome through Wedding Paper Divas. I had to call customer service a few times to speak with a customer service rep since everything wasn't fitting in the designated design area. They were more than accommodating and set me up with a designer in order to see a proof before ordering. Loved the outcome!!"
"Recently purchased in Cream. I really love it! The only thing that is disappointing is the gold part is not metallic but just printed gold. Still looks good but would be better with actual foil. But Overall we love it!"

Witnesses Feared Mass Killings At Ashtabula Church Shooting
Panicked witnesses to a fatal Easter service shooting in Ohio feared many might be killed as the victim's son approached the pulpit, waving a handgun and yelling about God and Allah.
Associate Pastor Steve Sargent said Monday at the Hiawatha Church of God in Christ in Ashtabula (ash-tuh-BYOO'-luh) that the shooting could have been much worse.
Worshipper Michael Wofford says he feared a shooting rampage would erupt after the gunman finished his spiel from the pulpit area.
Police say 25-year-old Reshad Riddle went to the church and killed his father, 52-year-old Richard Riddle, with a single shot from a handgun Sunday afternoon.
The gunman then walked down the side of the church, decorated with lilies for Easter, and sent panicked worshippers fleeing.

Hellickson dominates, Rays find offense in win
Righty allows one run in seven innings; Kiermaier belts two-run homer
OAKLAND -- The Rays needed this one. At risk of suffering a three-game sweep at the hands of the A's on Wednesday afternoon, Jeremy Hellickson stepped up and the bats roared to life to earn a 7-3 win.
It was Tampa Bay's second straight series loss, but the Rays at least claimed one victory on the first and toughest leg of a three-city, 10-game road trip. They will rest up on Thursday before playing three against the Cubs and four against the Rangers.
After two sloppy Rays' showings at the Coliseum, the A's were the ones left scratching their heads. Hellickson's fourth start of 2014 was far and away his best, a seven-inning, one-run effort, and the offense handed young Sonny Gray the worst outing of his career.
"Today we started driving in runs," said Rays manager Joe Maddon. "That's the big difference in the game. And then on top of that, Hellickson was outstanding."
Hellickson, who had not completed five innings in any of his three starts since returning from arthroscopic elbow surgery, allowed two hits and struck out three while walking none. He threw 62 of his 99 pitches for strikes, which enabled him to go seven innings for the first time since July 5 of last year.
"That looked like the [2011] Rookie of the Year Hellickson right there," Maddon said. "Command of his fastball, his changeup, dropped some hooks in there when he wanted to. Actually thought he worked a little bit quicker. Everything was just right for him today. He had a great look about him."
"It's been a long time since I've felt good after a start," Hellickson said. "I can't really put my finger on what I did different. I felt the same, stuff was a little sharper, little better command. The fastball was definitely a lot better, it felt better coming out of my hand."
The Rays finished with 13 hits, 10 of which came against Gray in 4 1/3 frames. Gray, the American League Pitcher of the Month for July, had given up five earned runs in his previous six starts. On Wednesday, he gave up seven runs, six earned.
Tampa Bay's performance with runners in scoring position once again left plenty to be desired -- 3-for-14 on Wednesday, 4-for-29 in the series -- but after managing just one run in the opening three innings, the Rays made their hits count in the fourth and fifth.
Kevin Kiermaier belted a two-run homer in the fourth, his ninth of the season. That came after a rare infield single by Jose Molina, whom Kiermaier nearly passed between second and third base before slowing down dramatically to accommodate the 39-year-old catcher.
"[A's right fielder Josh Reddick] was just kind of nonchalantly going back, and I was like, 'He's camped.' And then I see it go over his head and bounce back into the field, so I kept running," Kiermaier said. "Once I get right around second base, Jose is right there, and I wasn't about to just stop and wait for him to get some distance and start going again, so I just did the slowest trot ever the whole way home.
"It was one of those things where I gave him a big hug [in the dugout]. I congratulated him on an infield hit. That was awesome."
In the fifth inning, the Rays capitalized on an error by shortstop Eric Sogard, who let the ball pop out of his glove on a force play. After Kiermaier was hit by a pitch, Desmond Jennings stepped up with the bases loaded and singled up the middle to plate a pair and send Gray to the dugout.
The Rays led 6-0 and never looked back. They scored once more in the fifth off Jesse Chavez, and Sogard homered for Oakland's lone run off Hellickson.
"It's just one of those things where we had a rough stretch there, really struggling with guys in scoring position, and today we took advantage of it and a couple hard hits went our way," Kiermaier said. "It's always easier to play with a lead, and that's what we did early on. It kind of just carried throughout the game."
Ben Zobrist went 3-for-4 with a walk and an RBI, Kiermaier drove in three, and Molina and Yunel Escobar had two hits apiece. Among the starting nine, only Matt Joyce went hitless.
"That's nice when you get contributions up and down the lineup," said Maddon, "but it's all set up by Hellickson. Outstanding today."
Grant Balfour gave up two runs with two outs in the ninth before retiring Alberto Callaspo to end it. His ERA rose to 5.23 -- but that could not spoil an all-around satisfying day for the Rays, who moved to 55-59.
"We have all the ingredients to be really good from here on out, absolutely," Maddon said. "Are we a playoff contending team? Absolutely. Do I think we can do it? Absolutely. It's not going to be easy."

- About Plattsburgh
Geographers obtain their basic data from field investigation, in environments that range from wilderness area to cities.
As scientists, geographers are naturally curious about how the world is arranged. They ask lots of questions about why things are located the way they are and then they try to answer those questions.
Geographers see the world as the human habitat, one that we have transformed and that has transformed us. If these things sound intriguing to you, the geography program at Plattsburgh State may be for you. (Source: AAG)
Several upper level courses involve visiting sites in the Adirondack Mountains and Champlain Valley, and the small size of these courses allows for a great deal of individual attention. Learn more about field work opportunities.
The program offers use of several computer applications in geography and a completely dedicated GIS lab with 18 work stations, various printers, plotters, digitizers, and scanners. Learn more about the use of computers in geography.
The small size of our program allows students to create their own area of specialization. Learn more about the benefits of our small class sizes.
SUNY Plattsburgh is one of the few schools that offers a planning minor in New York State. A planning specialization can be accomplished by taking certain planning courses or by completing the planning minor. Learn more about our planning specialization in geography.
