A method for the representation, recognition, and interpretation of parameterized gesture is presented. By parameterized gesture we mean gestures that exhibit a systematic spatial variation; one example is a point gesture where the relevant parameter is the two-dimensional direction. Our approach is to extend the standard hidden Markov model method of gesture recognition by including a global parametric variation in the output probabilities of the HMM states. Using a linear model of dependence, we formulate an expectation-maximization (EM) method for training the parametric HMM. During testing, a similar EM algorithm simultaneously maximizes the output likelihood of the PHMM for the given sequence and estimates the quantifying parameters. Using visually derived and directly measured three-dimensional hand position measurements as input, we present results that demonstrate the recognition superiority of the PHMM over standard HMM techniques, as well as greater robustness in parameter estimation with respect to noise in the input features. Finally, we extend the PHMM to handle arbitrary smooth (nonlinear) dependencies. The nonlinear formulation requires the use of a generalized expectation-maximization (GEM) algorithm for both training and the simultaneous recognition of the gesture and estimation of the value of the parameter. We present results on a pointing gesture, where the nonlinear approach permits the natural spherical coordinate parameterization of pointing direction

BIG pool noodle
Posted by: jimx200 on Oct-28-12 11:02 AM (EST)
With my setup, I use the deck down/hull up method and use the bigger 3" pool noodles. These work better than any Yakama or Thule pads and NEVER have had a creased/dented side no matter how tight the strap. Check out the big box stores this time of year to get them on sale in the $3-4. each range. Second kayak goes on the J cradles.

I wasn't gonna really mention this to everyone, but after telling a few friends here, I realized this way was probably was just the best way to go about it, rather than going around and telling all my friends, since the word coulda just spread anyway if I did vanish.
Starting from tomorrow, there's a chance my family won't have a house anymore. It is worrying not knowing if we will or not at some point, and then if we don't where I'll live, but.
So if I ever do just vanish it doesn't mean I'm dead or anything like that, it just means that sadly this event did happen, I'm somewhere without internet.

Purdue Persuasion
As you may know, Ms. Harkins went to Purdue and is a proud representative of her alma mater. Recently, she announced that she would lead a field trip to the college campus, but only 12 kids could attend. How did she decide who would go? Well, she left that job to the students and their persuasive techniques! Students submitted their cases via essays, thinking maps, pictures, or posters designed to persuade Ms. Shields that they deserved the opportunity. The winners are pictured above. Below are pictures from the trip, where students had a blast touring the Purdue University campus. Thanks to Ms. Harkins for providing this great opportunity and to Ms. Shields for acting as judge and jury!

If you haven't heard, perhaps you're just really into that book you're currently reading, but CICS Prairie students Joshua Houston (above) and Marquis Jackson are part of a very special team of Little Leaguers that has made the city of Chicago, particularly the South Side, very proud. With a win tonight vs. Rhode Island, Joshua and Marquis' team, Jackie Robinson West, will be in serious contention for the tournament title. The effect of JRW's magical run on the local community is even more impressive, as folks have gathered at Jackie Robinson Park, 10540 S. Morgan Park, to watch each game.
"South Side of Chicago is not all about shootings, it's kids coming to play baseball, African-American kids that are doing the right thing," said Marquis Jackson.
Catch tonight's game on ESPN 2 at 7:00 p.m. or at Jackie Robinson Park on the big screen!

Ceremonials - Florence + the Machine
- Band Name: Florence + the Machine
- Record Label: Island
- Release Date: Nov 1, 2011
- Record Label: Island
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 22 out of 36
Mixed: 14 out of 36
Negative: 0 out of 36
Dec 13, 2011Ceremonials is quite some achievement: an accomplished pop record infused with intelligence and imagination... It offers the final, conclusive evidence that she's a pop star to believe in. [Dec. 2011 p. 118]
Nov 4, 2011Ceremonials is truly one of the few recent pop LPs that works both as a collection of individual songs and as a true album, with the right balance and flow to keep the record captivating from start to finish.
Nov 11, 2011An ambitious LP like is, backlit by harmonies and dramatic chord changes, is the perfect vehicle to showcase her voice; a less talented vocalist would crumble under its heaviness.
Nov 2, 2011Ceremonials abandons so many of the musical avenues she mapped out on Lungs and focuses instead on a monolithic sound that is certainly affecting but is becoming increasingly conventional in 2011.
Mar 22, 2012It's this robust fervor and subject matter that fire up and lift up many of the songs on Ceremonials, but the constant exhortation comes at a price. Listener fatigue sets in as the relentless, up-tempo pace and sharply exclamatory vocal tone overwhelms over the course of the album.
Nov 3, 2011Instead of Lungs' largely charming yet discombobulating diversity, Ceremonials suffers from a repetitiveness that's akin to looking at a skyline filled with 100-story behemoths lined-up one after the other, blocking out everything but their own size.
Score distribution:
Positive: 53 out of 57
Mixed: 3 out of 57
Negative: 1 out of 57
Nov 1, 2011I can honestly say that is album is the best album released in 2011. There is no contest. The sound is like nothing you have heard before, the vocals are breathtaking and the production is perfection. As much as I liked "Lungs" it does not compare to "Ceremonials". It is an experience, It cannot be explained! you have to live it to understand.… Expand
Apr 30, 2014Should have at least been nominated for Album of the Year, even if it doesn't win. The epicness of this album and the individuality of the songs match the theme of having ceremonials perfectly.… Expand
Nov 3, 2011Florence has always been one of those beautiful acts that are always there on your iPod should you need something powerful to play in your ears, for me. This album, however, has made her so much more.
It's powerful, a power that exceeds even the near flawless 'Lungs'. It carries with it the haunting edge 'Lungs' also held, but plays on it in far more straight-forward ways, a hurricane in musical production and voice, though she equally explores softer melodies, wind instruments and sweeter singing, reminiscent to my 'Lungs' highlight, 'Blinding'.
This is not to mention the fact that Florence Welch is one of the best songwriters in recent memory, let alone singers. She's truly crafted herself a niche in music and still manages to feel like a breath of empowering, fresh air on every listen. It's thus far, for me, the quintessential album of 2011.… Expand
Nov 19, 2013This album changes nothing of my opinions about the band other than that now, the band is just as important as Welch's vocals. It offers an eclectic set of sounds with great musicality. "Only If for a Night" opens the album promisingly to join "Never Let Me Go", "Spectrum", and "Seven Devils" being the tracks that stand out the most.… Expand
May 30, 2012A very solid second album. The whole record has more darker tones than the first one. The songwriting is constant in quality and there are less fillers than the 1st album. Producer Paul Epsworth has done a tremendous job here! . Florence is definitely here to last, like it or not.… Expand
Dec 12, 2011While Lungs was more eclectic (and appropriately body focused), Ceremonials dives into exploring the sometimes more elusive sacred aspects of experience, and ends up settling into a more cohesive sounding album. Listening to this album feels as serious and mysterious as the best of ceremonies, yet never as boring thanks to the percussive and epic anthems that call for us to sing aloud. "Thin Space" is a Celtic phrase used to describe places where the two worlds of spiritual and natural meet. Ceremonials is a thin space for me. Highlights are all the first 7 tracks together, and the last 2.… Expand
Nov 26, 2011After finally managing to force myself to listen to Ceremonials for a third time, I can safely say my initial verdict was the correct one - Just about every song misses the mark on what it tries to achieve and they all suffer from the same problem of being over-produced and under delivered. In the end, a grand, sweeping sound throughout can't mask the half-baked lyrics and bad arrangement. Lungs was a masterpiece. This is utter crap.… Expand

Functional Integrated Training - Fitness For Life
Personal Training with a difference.
Our mission is to maximise your body's performance and your quality of life.
Originally developed for rehabilitation purposes, Functional Integrated Training concentrates on movement patterns and the natural biomechanics of body to handle real life situations. The key to functional exercise is integration and adaptation, it teaches the muscles to work together rather than isolating them to work independently. This allows the individual to perform the activities of daily life or sports easily and with less chance of injury.
Working in conjunction with Integrated Body Dynamics we are able to offer access to some of the UK's leading physical therapists, ranging from Sports Massage therapists, orthopedic and cranial sacral therapy as well as many other neuromuscular techniques. This direct link allows us to seamlessly continue the rehabilitation work started by these professionals.
We also focus on Pre rehabilitation work, that is prescribing strength and conditioning exercises for specific muscles that help to reduce injury risks, before an injury actually occurs.
We are a dedicated and qualified training team; Mervyn, Stefan, Tom, Sarah, Juan, Vishal Aaron and Sunny and we're here to help you reach your fitness goals and get fit for life!
Meet the team and pop in for chat next time you're passing or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

November 28, 2014
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- School cafeteria workers from all over Tennessee are learning how to make healthier entrees for students when they return for classes in the fall.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that workers met this month at four different schools in Chattanooga for a Back to Basics program that taught workers how to cook made-from-scratch recipes instead of processed food such as chicken nuggets. The two-day program was a precursor to the School Nutrition Association conference that was also held in the city.
Child nutritionist Cyndie Story of Scottsville, Ky., who led the class, told participants that it would allow students "to choose healthy food options that they may not have at home."
April Burkhart, who manages the cafeteria at Orchard Knob Elementary in Chattanooga, says a colorful variety of food makes students more inclined to try it.

Politician Vs. Statesman
Politics is the art of compromise, they say. When you have to get a majority in the US House, US Senate, and the Executive Branch to agree on something, you can understand why it's difficult for a politician to get everything he or she wants in a piece of legislation, particularly on controversial issues.
But compromising on policy doesn't require compromising on principles. That's the difference between a politician and a statesman. The former is interested in just "getting things done" while the latter is interested in "doing the right thing." The statesman is interested in moving policy in the right direction, even if the legislation is not everything he or she wants.
Rand Paul is compromising as a statesman, not a politician by endorsing Romney. Intuitively, he realizes that Romney is a politician and not a statesman. That is because Romney changes his positions based on what direction the political wind is blowing; because that's what "gets things done."
Regardless if someone likes it or not, the next president will be either Obama or Romney. It's already been shown that Obama will not negotiate or compromise with the Tea Party. Romney, on the other hand, will have to whether he likes it or not; because he must have most of the GOP united behind him.
With that being said, when we look at the US Senate and US House elections, the Tea Party movement is gaining momentum to pick up seats. That will change what DIRECTION the POLITICAL WIND blows, and if Romney is elected, then he will change at least some of his positions to move with that direction. Otherwise, most of the GOP will not be united behind him.
Rand Paul is not compromising his principles. He is simply engaging in smart Game Theory and strategy to promote principles that he and the Tea Party believe in. Like a true statesman!

NEW YORK — Police officers in New York City are going to face random tests for steroid abuse.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday that the testing is going to start this summer. Any officer who tests positive for steroids could be disciplined or fired.
Copyright 2014 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
The decision to give the tests follows an investigation of a pharmacy suspected of peddling steroids without prescriptions. The customers allegedly included police bodybuilders and six officers have been suspended or given desk duty after testing positive for steroids.

text: Khizar Karwa Jessica Olah Kristina Smith Michelle Tien Bryant Kwong Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on September 24, 1896 in St. Paul, Minnesota to an Irish Catholic middle class family. He was a novelist, short story writer and a poet. When he was 12 he wrote a detective story which was published in the school newspaper. In 1913 he enrolled at Princeton University where he became friends with Edmund Wilson John Peale Bishop who who became future critics. After graduating in 1917 from Princeton, Fitzgerald enlisted in the US navy during WWI, however the war shortly ended after he enlisted. He married his "golden girl", Zelda Sayre in 1919. In 1921 their daughter Frances was born. Fitzgerald's work is mostly influenced by the 1920's or the "roaring twenties" a time when Americans enjoyed a period of prosperity. Many of his writings include his wife's personality, and personal statements from diaries and journals. Fitzgerald had a drinking problem which attributed to his financial troubles. These financial troubles led Fitzgerald to Hollywood where he wrote short commercial scripts and wrote his fifth and final novel. On December 21, 1940 Fitzgerald died of a heart attack. Hollywood in the 1920's While attending Princeton University, Fitzgerald wrote scripts for the Princeton Triangle Club, a theater troupe. He often abandoned his studies to focus on writing, his true passion, which led him to be placed on academic probation. Because of this, he decided to join the army. During his time in war, he wrote "The Romantic Egotist." After he was discharged in 1919, he went on to write "This Side of Paradise", which made him become known worldwide by many readers. Fitzgerald wanted to be considered as a serious writer, but his "playboy" and lavish lifestyle prevented critics from fully lauding his works. His writings often reflected his autobiographical experiences in life, including his wife's mental breakdowns and their overall turbulent relationship. In The Great Gatsby, the main character, Jay Gatsby lives a life analogous to Fitzgerald's. They both went to opulent parties and led greedy and reckless lives. Additionally, Fitzgerald often wrote of the futility of the lives of the rich and famous. In The Crack-Up (1936), Fitzgerald wrote a collection of essays and letters that mainly described his troubled life at the time. The Great Gatsby is often considered "The Great American Novel." Fitzgerald's masterpiece captures the essence of the "Jazz Age" and the "Roaring Twenties", but also embeds timeless themes and ideals through brilliant literary artistry and a controlled narrative point of view. He focuses on human nature, more specifically the quest for love, the hunger for wealth, as well as the infatuation with social prominence. Fitzgerald revealed that he wanted to "write something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned." In the last year of his life he wrote to his daughter, "I wish now I'd never relaxed or looked back - but said at the end of 'The Great Gatsby': I've found my line - from now on this comes first. This is my immediate duty - without this I am nothing.'" Bryant Mangum, "The Great Gatsby," Encyclopedia of the Novel, ed. Paul Schellinger, London and Chicago: Fitzroy-Dearborn, 1998, pp. 514-515.

internet sharing connection windows7, XP mode
i am using windows 7 with xp mode , i am having a problem with accessing to the internet using Windows 7 that is why i downloaded xp mode for windows7, i can access to the internet without any problem using xp mode and my hardware huawei wireless can work on xp mode, i am wondering if any one has an idea how can i set up an internet connection sharing between Windows 7 and xp mode so that i can access the internet from Windows 7 using my connection on windows xp mode..........
any help will be highly appreciated
|My System Specs
|01 Nov 2009
It's not internet sharing as such, rather your xp mode's network connection is integrated into your host system's connections.
With the Huawei, has Windows 7 detected it and successfully installed the driver? If everything is ok with that then you might need to do some setting up with the software that the Huawei uses. Just compare the setting that worked in xp mode and apply it on Windows 7.
|My System Specs
|02 Nov 2009
Thank u a lot for the reply, actually Huawei wireless terminal fts1201, is successfully installed in windows7, in the cd attached with the hardware , there is driver for windows vista , I used it, it worked, but the problem when I try to disconnect from net and disconnect again , here where the problem starts , the task goes endless and I cannot connect again unless I switch off and on the Windows 7 again, I tried compatibility mode since the Huawei FTS 1201 works fine on Windows XP, but the same thing happens, it is strange problem the modem is recognized by Windows 7 and the driver is successfully installed but I am still facing the same problem, I think this hardware does not have the right patch for Windows 7 that was why I emailed Huawei company for this problem they told me that , their device is working on xp and vista but they have not provided software for Windows 7 yet.
So I was thinking of Windows 7, and xp mode , since the device is working with xp mode and I do not face any problem , I thought making an internet sharing connection between Windows 7, xp mode could solve the problem, I access the net from xp mode and I can share this connection with Windows 7,
So what about the setting u said how I could compare between them

Windows 7 pro 32 bit
This may have been answered somewhere else, but I am simply looking to connect to my regular office network within the XP Mode. I have some old programs that still need to be able to connect to the office network.
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2009
You compare the settings in the software application for the Huawei, from Xp that works to the setting in Windows 7 that doesn't. Basically making sure the settings are the same.
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2009
If you can connect from your host machine, i assume though a VPN software, then you need to install this software on your Xp Mode. Internet sharing via the Nic, wireless or bridge (NAT), isn't going to be an issue.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2009
thanks a lot for the reply , finally i am able to make my fixed wireless terminal work with Windows 7, after a lot of effort , it is working great now, there is no need for making internet sharing between Windows 7 and xp mode since my internet is working fine now, i did what u adviced me, i did compare the settings and it seems that , i am like doing the job that Texas instruments had to do

The cell walls of diatoms consist of a silica frustule encased in an organic coating. Biochemical characterization of this coating should allow insight into: (1) the mechanism of silicification; (2) taxonomy and evolution of diatoms; (3) preservation of fossil frustules. The amino acid and sugar composition of cell walls from 6 diatom species have been elucidated. When compared to cellular protein, cell-wall protein is enriched in serine plus threonine and glycine, and depleted in acidic, sulfur-containing and aromatic amino acids. The sugars of the cell-wall carbohydrates are quite variable and fucose tends to replace glucose in estuarine species. Condensation of silicic acid, in epitaxial order, on a protein template enriched in serine and threonine, is suggested as the Si-depositing mechanism in diatoms. The nature of this template and the polysaccharides in the cell wall may determine the solubility of diatom frustules in various environments. There is sufficient variability in cell-wall amino acids to warrant further investigation of their taxonomic utility. The sugars appear to be related to environmental factors, but they may also serve in biosystematic studies.

Students' grades and health improve with later high school start times
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
New study from the University of Minnesota is first to examine multiple schools across the U.S.
Contacts: Steve Baker, College of Education and Human Development, email@example.com, (612) 624-3430
Steve Henneberry, University News Service, email@example.com, (612) 624-1690
MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (03/12/2014) —Later high school start times improve student grades and overall health, according to a new University of Minnesota study, released today.
The three-year project, using data from more than 9,000 students attending eight high schools in three states, found that, when switching to a later start time:
- attendance, standardized test scores and academic performance in math, English, science and social studies improved.
- tardiness, substance abuse, symptoms of depression, and consumption of caffeinated drinks decreased.
In addition, the study found that there was a 70 percent drop in the number of car crashes involving teen drivers at Jackson Hole High School in Wyoming, which shifted to the latest start time of the eight schools (8:55 a.m.).
"The research confirmed what has been suspected for some time," said Kyla Wahlstrom, Ph.D., director of the U of M's Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI), which conducted the study. "High schools across the country that have later start times show significant improvements in many areas. The reduction of teen car crashes may be the most important finding of all, as the well-being of teens and the safety of the general public are interrelated."
The study, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), found that high schools that begin as late as 8:55 a.m. have 66 percent of students obtaining eight or more hours of sleep on school nights, which is the recommended amount for high school aged students. Schools that begin at 7:30 a.m. have an average of only 34 percent of students obtaining eight or more hours of sleep on school nights.
"Even a start time of 8:35 a.m. allows 57-60 percent of students to get eight or more hours of sleep, which is an important health benefit for a majority of students," said Wahlstrom. "Local school districts, school personnel, parents, and students need to understand the importance of sleep and to make choices using the knowledge from this and other studies."
In the first study to examine multiple schools in various locations across the U.S., student data were collected from eight schools that moved to later start times. Over the last three years, researchers surveyed St. Louis Park High School, Mahtomedi High School, Woodbury High School, Park High School, and East Ridge High School in Minnesota; Boulder High School and Fairview High School in Colorado; and Jackson Hole High School in Wyoming. Students were individually surveyed about their daily activities, substance use and sleep habits. Researchers then examined various health factors post-change in school start time and compared them with national average data.
The study also collected comparative data about students' academic performance, including grades, attendance, tardiness and performance on state and national standardized tests. Car crash data were also examined for the communities surrounding the participating high schools.
The full report, "Examining the Impact of Later High School Start Times on the Health and Academic Performance of High School Students: A Multi-Site Study," includes an examination of the processes by which local school districts participating in the study made the decision to change to a later start time. Key participants in the discussions and the decision-making were interviewed.
"Our research provides evidence of clear benefits for students whose high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later," said Wahlstrom. "More research needs to be done, but these findings are substantive and should provide more information for school districts considering a change in start time."

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) -- Fifty people in the Valley started work today at Virginia's only organic poultry processing plant.
The new employees that started Tuesday at Shenandoah Processing said it's so special to start with this company from the ground up.
"From being from the floor up in a new company, that gives me the opportunity to grow and establish my career," said Richard Gibbs, who will do all the work with the waste water treatment plant.
Gibbs and 49 others are starting their first day on the job.
Even though the poultry processing plant isn't running yet, everyone is already hard at work preparing the equipment.
The building used to house a turkey plant; however,it had been empty for years.
The production will start slow at first, but owners plan to hire more people once they are open for business.
Gibbs is excited for the possibilities.
"The job market is pretty tough because I've been impounding a payment for about a year or so. Things were slow and doing the kind of work I like to do was hard to find. This was a great opportunity. I heard about it, I applied for it and it worked out pretty good for me," said Gibbs.
Shenandoah Processing plans on bringing the chickens in on Thursday.

Posted Tuesday, January 22, 2013 --- 2:41 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker is revealing more details about what his two-year spending plan for the state will look like, including the target size of an income tax cut and how aid to schools will be tied to performance.
Walker will release his budget next month but he still hasn't announced the exact date. He spoke about some elements of it during a Tuesday speech to the Wisconsin Technology Council and with reporters afterward.
Walker has repeatedly said he will include an income tax cut. Now he says that will be around $340 million over the two-year period, which may equate to about $200 for the average Wisconsin family.
He also says the state's highest and lowest performing schools will be eligible for incentive payments. Walker didn't say how much.

I got a sample of this at Sephora and I really like it! It's not my absolute favorite mascara ever, but I will probably buy the full size product. I do agree, the tip of the brush makes it kind of difficult to apply to the inner corners, but it is helpful on the outer corner to fan those lashes out more. I can see this not working as well for people with short, thin lashes (luckily mind are long and thick) so I recommend asking for a sample (I got it for signing up for the Sephora Beauty Insider thing) or testing it in the store before purchasing.
I bought this thinking it would be amazing because of all of the good reviews on YouTube and I expected it to at least be good at its expensive price, but it was a huge let down. The bristles were spiky and plastic and annoying and it hurts your eye and the spiky ball at the end didn't make the wand any better. I'm more into a dramatic lash and what this did was give a basic lash- nothing special. If you are into a very natural lash, then this is the mascara for you, just not for me. The only thing I ended up using this mascara for was to remove clumps from my other mascaras. You can find any mascara like this at the drugstore so please save your money. Would not repurchase.

Honestly what's with the hype for this mascara??
Yeah it's gives volume and length but so does every other mascara.. I had such high expectations that when I got it, it let me down :(
It looks okay when you do a first layer but after the next one it clumps up. I also find that no matter how much I curl my lases before hand, the mascara weighs my lashes and work keep the curl! (Makeing my lashes look really short) also the plastic wand actually hurts my eyes.
To be honest I'm really disappointed :(

Wow... I was so excited to try this mascara, and it is honestly the worst mascara I have ever used :\ My eyelashes do not usually hold a curl without waterproof mascara, and this unfortunately was no exception. When I put the mascara on, the wand poked me so many times, and the little ball on the end kept giving me clumps of watery mascara through my eyelashes, which ended up all over my eye area. This stuff is also VERY hard to remove, just as hard if not more hard to remove than waterproof mascara. Price is also ridiculous.
This is the best mascara I've ever tried. It lengthens and thickens my lashes and I am able to get the teeny tiny baby lashes on my outer and inner corners. It has incredible staying power - so much staying power that it takes a LOT of work to get it off (which can be good and bad). Other than that, this is a great mascara. I recommend it but wish it was cheaper for sure.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Best freaking mascara... Ever. I only have the sample, and I'm not quick to shell out a ton of money when it comes to makeup(big drugstore fan:D) but I would definitely buy the full size of this. It just makes your lashes pop! I already have thick dark eyelashes naturally so this just gives it that extra "bam". I also love the unique brush, it has bristles on the very end to really get to the inner corner and outer corner lashes. I like that I don't need an eyelash curler with this, it does the job on it's own!
I love this mascara. It is very dramatic and dark. I can't decide if I like this or their previously popular Bad Gal Lash better. I use them both regularly. It really is a huge difference. I am on my third bottle, and will likely continue to buy it.
I was really disappointed. It nothing what so ever to my very short sparse lashes. normally I'm a fan of benifit but this did not work for me and it smudged everywhere :'(
I heard this stuff was great but in my experience, not so much. It's Ok but the spiked ball part at the end of the wand is annoying and it clumps easily! For the price, this should be way better than it is! Don't waste your $$$ on this.
I have tried many types of mascara and keep coming back to this one. I curl my lashes, apply 2 coats, and it still looks amazing at the end of the night.
