CTCR On The Communing of Infants and Young Children
Oct 8th
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
On 13 September 2014, the CTCR adopted without dissent a document titled, "Knowing What We Seek and Why We Come: Questions and Answers concerning the Communing of Infants and Young Children." The CTCR also adopted as a supplement to the aforementioned document, "Response to the Request for a Supplement to the CTCR Opinion, Response to "Concerns of the South Wisconsin District Circuits 18 and 19 Regarding Infant Communion" (1997)." Both documents are given in their entirety below.
Among other questions, the CTCR document addresses, "What historical precedent is there for paedocommunion?" Answer: "there is no evidence for a widespread practice of paedocommunion in the earliest centuries of the church's history."
In the early days of the Missouri Synod, the Synod's Constitution while not mentioning an age for confirmation suggested that a minimum of 100 hours of instruction should be given before a person received communion.
The document also discusses the Scripture passages regarding self-examination and notes how even though the Lutheran Reformers were aware that the Eastern churches practiced infant communion, they did not seek to introduce this practice.
The document is well worth the read.

Church of Finland Defrocks Dean Juhana Pohjola
Aug 7th
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
The Rev. Juhana Pohjola, Dean of the recently formed Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland, has been defrocked by the nominally Lutheran Church of Finland. His offence was participating as a founder and leader of the Mission Diocese, which the CoF considers to be "violating his ordination vows." Dean Pohjola earned a STM at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, in 1999 and will defend his doctoral dissertation at the University of Helsinki on August 15.
The following report is written by The Rev. Samuli Siikavirta, a doctoral candidate in New Testament at Cambridge University who was ordained in the Mission Diocese earlier this summer.
Dean of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland, Rev Juhana Pohjola, Defrocked by the National Church
On 5 August 2014, the Cathedral Chapter [Consistory] of the Diocese of Oulu ordered Rev Juhana Pohjola to forfeit his pastoral office in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, invoking ELCF legislation (ELCF Church Law 5:3.3). The decision came into effect immediately.
Rev. Pohjola was ordained by former Bishop of Oulu, Rt Rev Olavi Rimpiläinen, in 1999 to serve the newly founded Luther Foundation Finland within the Church of Finland. The intention of Rev Pohjola's work in the Luther Foundation was to build up confessional Lutheran liturgical life within the ELCF and to insure that members holding to the apostolic view of the Office have places where they can receive the Sacraments and hear the Word.
In 2013, the congregations that were part of the Luther Foundation Finland and a handful of other independent ones formed the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland. From 2005 until last year, the LFF was a supporting member of the Mission Province in Sweden. What began as the work of one part-time Pastor (Pohjola) and one congregation in the capital city in 1999 has today grown into a network of 30 congregations and missions nationwide. The Mission Diocese sees itself as an independent, confessional and non-geographical churchly structure in Finland that lives out the official confession of the ELCF that the 'national church' has largely abandoned.
The Cathedral Chapter of the ELCF Diocese of Oulu argued for its decision in the following manner:
"The Cathedral Chapter deemed it to be clear that Juhana Pohjola, who had been a member of the clergy of the Diocese of Oulu, has acted contrary to the duties of the pastoral office and transgressed the ordination promise [vow] that he had made on 18 Dec 1999, and turned out to be obviously unfit to be a pastor by becoming the Diocesan Dean of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland, by directing the head office of the Mission Diocese, by belonging to its College of Pastors, by acting as a member of its Consistory and under it, together with being under the pastoral oversight and acting as the aide of the Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland, Risto Soramies."
"The Evangelical Lutheran Mission Diocese of Finland was founded in March 2013. The said community that is an unregistered association [a Finnish legal term] has organised itself resembling a Christian church by having its own congregations, diocese and bishop. The Bishops of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland have stated together in March 2013 that the newly formed Mission Diocese has no organisational status in our church and neither is it attached to the structure of our church. According to the Bishops' statement, a Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland who acts in the Mission Diocese stands in obvious conflict with the loyalty expected of a pastor and with the ordination promise."
The defrocking of a pastor is the most severe punishment that the ELCF can issue. Excommunication or the revoking of membership is no longer a possibility. The Diocesan Chapter appealed to paragraph 5:3.3 of the ELCF Church Law, stating,
"A pastor who acts against the duties of the pastoral office and the ordination promise, or neglects them or behaves in a way unfit for a pastor, may, according to the quality of the matter, be given a written warning or suspended from the pastoral office for a minimum of one and a maximum of six months by the Diocesan Chapter. If the pastor's unseemly behaviour, neglect in the pastoral office or other behaviour indicates him/her to be obviously unfit to be a pastor, the Diocesan Chapter can order him to forfeit his pastoral office [i.e. be defrocked]."
In a blog post on the Mission Diocese website, Rev Pohjola acknowledges that the decision to be defrocked pains him deeply but that it was also to be expected in the current church-political situation.
"The words 'obviously unfit' leave no room for interpretation. They are rough especially when talking about the office in which one is to act constantly with the great Day of Judgment in view. Being defrocked also contains shameful dimensions. Hardly anyone wants to be unfit and dismissed."
The defrocking of those Mission Diocese pastors and bishops who were ordained in the ELCF before the Luther Foundation or Mission Diocese were formed may also have wider consequences on the identity formation of the Mission Diocese.
"The message, 'you are obviously unfit for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland', has been sent to thousands of people attending Mass in the Mission Diocese", Rev Pohjola writes.
He maintains that the decision shows the theological decline that is going on in the ELCF.
"This decision of the Diocesan Chapter is yet another step within the reformation [in Finnish: 'purge of the faith'] that is going on in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. Instead of the Church being purged with God's Word, she is being purged from God's Word."
Despite being now defrocked by the national church, Rev Pohjola will continue preaching the Word and administering the Sacraments, now as a pastor only of the Mission Diocese.
"What now after this? One friend reminded me of a liberating Bible verse: 'set apart for the Gospel of God' (Rom. 1:1). That gives me, too, enough to do in the Apostolic Office until the end of my life!"
An interesting church historical quirk is that Rev Pohjola will be defending his doctoral dissertation at the University of Helsinki on 15 August on the topic of ordination rites in the ELCF between 1963 and 2003 and their understanding of ordination and the pastoral office. His Opponent at the defence will be Rt Rev Jari Jolkkonen, ELCF Bishop of Kuopio.

Meeting Between NRK and LCMS at International Center in St. Louis
Jul 16th
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
Participants: Dr. Joel Lehenbauer (CTCR – LCMS); Dr. Albert Collver (LCMS); Shinri Emoto (General Secretary NRK); Rev. Saito (Mission Secretary NRK); Rev. Ando (Director of Disaster Relief NRK); Mr. Ando (Urawa Lutheran School NRK)
16 July 2014
Representatives from the Missouri Synod and the Japan Lutheran Church (NRK) met to discuss rekindling the the 50 plus year partnership between the two church bodies. Dr. Collver noted that the LCMS Office of International Mission (OIM) strategic plan calls for renewing and strengthening partnerships and that the discussion with the NRK could not have occurred at a more opportune time.
This past spring the NRK elected a new president, Rev. Shimizu Shin after President Kumei retired. Dr. Joel Lehenbauer attended this convention as the LCMS representative.
The Urawa high school founded by the LCMS in 1953 occupied a significant portion of the conversation. Currently, the high school has approximately 700
students. The school has out grown its facility and plans to build a new building to house more than 1000 students. The student body, only 10% of whom are Christian, is to reach the other 90% through Bible classes and daily chapel services.
In addition to the high school the NRK asked if the LCMS could send missionaries for the following work:
– A pastor for the Okinawa Lutheran Church
– A Seminary Professor in Tokyo
– Chaplain for Urawa Lutheran School
LCMS OIM agrees to begin recruiting for these positions.

Update on Dr. Quill in Australia
Apr 5th
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
5 April 2014 — For Immediate Release
The Rev. Dr. Timothy Quill, Dean of International Studies at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne (www.ctsfw.edu) and Director of Theological Education for the LCMS Office of International Mission (www.lcms.org), fell ill on Wednesday, April 2, in Adelaide, Australia. Quill was taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm (subarachnoid hemorrhage). An immediate procedure (craniotomy) to relieve the pressure was followed within twenty-four hours by surgery to repair the aneurysm (surgical clipping). The first week after the surgery is critical and he is being carefully monitored by the medical team. Quill remains in the Intensive Care Unit.
Dr. Quill was traveling with Mr. Darin Storkson, LCMS South Asia and Oceania Regional Director, to visit Australian Lutheran College (www.alc.edu.au) in Adelaide. After Australia, Quill along with CTS Professor Robert Roethemeyer, Director of Library and Information Services and Director of Institutional Planning and Assessment, were to travel to Papua New Guinea to visit Timothy Lutheran Seminary in Birip and Martin Luther Seminary in Lae for the Chemnitz Library Initiative.
Mr. Storkson, along with Rev. Neville Otto, Secretary and Mission Director for the Lutheran Church of Australia, found Dr. Quill unresponsive on Wednesday before Lenten Vespers and called the ambulance. Professor Robert Roethemeyer, who was enroute to Australia, joined them on Thursday morning before the surgery. Rev. Dr. John Kleinig, professor emeritus of Australian Lutheran College (ALC), prayed with Quill before his surgery. Rev. Dr. Gregory Lockwood, professor emeritus at ALC, and Rev. Dr. Andrew Pfeiffer, Director of Pastoral Education at ALC, also visited Quill in the ICU. Pastors of the Lutheran Church in Australia (LCA) have been wonderfully supportive and helpful during this trying time. Quill's wife, Annette, and daughter, Katie, arrived in Adelaide on Friday morning after the surgery, followed by Dr. Albert Collver, LCMS Director of Church Relations/Regional Operations, and Missionary Jeffrey Horn, Papua New Guinea.
Quill remains at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Doctors are currently establishing a timeline for his convalescence and his return to the United States. Dr. Quill, his family, Concordia Theological Seminary, and the LCMS Office of International Mission are grateful for the care provided by the Royal Adelaide Hospital, by the Lutheran Church of Australia, and the many people around the world who have expressed concern and offered prayers on his behalf.
Is there really a uniquely LCMS approach to mission? — Lutheran Journal of Mission
Mar 25th
Posted by Al Collver in Al's Posts
Is there really a uniquely LCMS approach to mission?
That question is at the heart of the Journal of Lutheran Mission, a new e-publication available for your use from the Synod's Offices of National and International Mission.
The scholarly journal, published digitally, exists to encourage discussion between you and those you serve, pastors, colleagues and social media friends on the interwoven nature of mission and Church.
Why take the time to read this journal? "The journal matters because mission matters," said Rev. Bart Day, executive director of the Office of National Mission. "Christ has given all things to the Church, and the Church shares those gifts with the world."
In addition, "The desire of the Journal of Lutheran Mission is to move beyond words (a missiology of rhetoric) to reflect the work of Christ through His Church globally," explains the Rev. Randy Golter, executive director of the Office of National Mission. "His words are performative, and so the mission exists, is ongoing and is accomplishing His purpose. In this lies the confidence of Lutheran mission and every Lutheran missionary."
The journal's list of contributing editors is extensive, including faculty from both seminaries; clergy from Germany to Madagascar, Ethiopia to Siberia; Synod staff as well as two district presidents. Day and Golter serve as executive editors.
The debut issue of the journal features papers from the Synod's Summit on Lutheran Mission, held in San Antonio, Texas, in November 2013. A first-of-its-kind event, the conference served as a venue to discuss the question, "What is our Lutheran identity when it comes to mission?"
Published three times a year, the journal can be downloaded in a variety of formats at www.lcms.org/journaloflutheranmission. Individual articles from the journal are also available so that you can share them – and continue the conversation – through social media.
"It is our desire to follow the tradition of mission that led to the founding of the Missouri Synod, to highlight and expound good examples of Lutheran missiology and to raise the height and breadth of discussion on mission so that every member of the Missouri Synod prays for the mission of the church, engages in it him/herself and supports it each according to their vocation," explained LCMS President Matthew C. Harrison.
We hope you'll join in the discussion. Download the journal, share it with your friends and email your thoughts to the editors at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Houston Rockets guard James Harden has a notorious reputation for being a lousy individual defensive player. Though there aren't any statistics that perfectly measure a player's actual impact on the defensive end of the court, there are a few that help paint the picture a bit more clearly. One such stat, which weighed heavily in San Jose Mercury News sports writer Tim Kawakami listing Harden on his 2014 NBA No-Defense Team, is Defensive Real Plus-Minus (DRPM). DRPM, as defined by ESPN, measures a player's

However, former Heat teammate Mike Miller, who—against James' wishes—was annexed prior to last season via the amnesty provision as

Check the Professional Development page to see videos from MMPA's June conference.
EVENT OF THE YEAR! For Manitoba publishers, anyway was The Maggies! 2014. We're not sure of the date yet, but the Maggies will certainly be held again in 2015.

People's Choice voting is now closed. Thanks to the (nearly) 1,000 people who voted! The Cellar Door was tops, with Conservator and The Cottager close runners-up.
Rain didn't stop play at the First Annual MMPA Golf Tournament. The weather cleared up after a showery morning and it turned into a wonderful day.

See the golf action here.
The "Moving Magazines" conference was a great success! Large sessions with two presenters plus small intimate sessions with only three participants. One attendee said, "I learned so much in that small session, even more than in a large classroom group. It was excellent!" We're already planning for next year so make sure you watch out for dates and other information.
If you are not a member of Magazines Canada, you may find this edition of "Page" interesting. Members of MMPAs Board met with the Hon. Ron Lemieux June 10 to discuss the range of business opportunities open in the magazine publishing field.
Congratulations Border Crossings on the launch of Issue 130 on June 11. It was party time!

How would you describe your shopping style?
If we shop at the weekend, it is usually for my 14-year-old daughter, so I will pick up something for me that I have seen out of the corner of my eye. It is a swift purchase. I can do that pretty well these days. I'm also shopping more online. I'm about to get into eBay, which could be dangerous. I'm looking for an old 1950s coach, shaped like a bullet, and eBay could be the place. That's my new mission. I'm going to do it up.
Are you a focused shopper?
I look around, but I can be really fast at doing the rails, as it were, in Kookai and Topshop. I've got a very quick eye. I can scan. I suppose it just comes with practice. I know what I like and I've got a quirky style - quite bohemian.
What purchase can't you get through the week without?
Hummus. If there's hummus in the fridge we can eat. Or I can eat. My daughter might protest. My husband definitely would.
What is your guiltiest purchase?
I suppose it's a bit of a busman's holiday, but home things are my guilty pleasure. I do it in the name of research. Consequently, I have too many cups and plates.
What is the last thing you bought?
We were in Norwich this weekend and I got two sweatshirts - one for walking the dog, one for looking quite nice, and two dresses - one long, sparkly silver sweater dress, and a very patterned low-neck jersey dress, all from a shop called Cult.
What is the next thing you will buy?
I covet a pair of long, over-the-knee, leather boots from Russell & Bromley.Ideally I'd want the long biker boots froom Dior. More immediately, I'm defrosting chicken, so I'd say some brown rice and vegetables.

The dangers of soft luggage
I used to have light-weight mountain-bike panniers on my XT and had no problems other than scorch marks on the exhaust-side pannier.
Now I ride an old Boxer BMW on which I had the same soft panniers. I firmly believe less-is-more. Less to carry, less to lose. But some greybeards down at the bike club tut-tutted when they saw the soft bags and told me all kinds of horror stories of nasty spills caused by straps etc getting into the rear wheel. It's self evident - don't let anything come loose, but I'd be interested in other people's views on using 'soft' panniers.
Met a guy by the side of the road in Croatia last year who had been using canvas panniers for three weeks before they slipped a little too close to his 'zaust and one caught fire. Luckily he only lost a few T-shirts.
Ive had a couple of near misses with soft panniers that why I anm changing to hard alu ones.
Firts proble was the pannier burnt through and a belt in to got tangled around the rear wheel luckaly not flipping me off but jammed the wheel = big slide
See pic http://groups.msn.com/UKTenereOwners...to&PhotoID=163
Then the straps melted and the pannier went in the rear wheel same drill slide fest.
Soft are only good on roads and then on low level can bikes.

I had soft luggage on an old XT250, it slipped down onto the exhaust, ignited (fuelled mainly by my sleeping bag) and burnt through most of my stuff before I noticed the flames in the mirrors. Lost most of my clothes, sleeping bag and other bits'n'pieces. Everything that survived reeked of burnt plastic and had to be binned.
Could have been worse tho...

Riding around Africa with soft panniers on our Transalps at the moment. Don't have pannier frames fitted, only an exhaust guard to prevent any spontaneous combustion incidents like those described earlier. If I was to start again I would add frames because the panniers take a lot of battering and they just can't be properly attached without frames.
Loose straps is one of my worries. We have roll bags on top of the bikes as well as the panniers so plenty of opportunity to leave the end of a strap flailing about in the wind.
My website
Africa Trip web journal
Other side is that alu boxes, if you hardly crash on the rocky pistas are big problem, my friend has Touratech alu boxes with panniers, and now he hate it. I was try to repair this by stone, but belive me choose soft bag and use pannier racks with it. This is the best way, or made special u-shape alu plate (and attach to rear part of bike) to hold them on the position.
Went 6 months on a trip across Europe and Morocco with really crappy (read cheap!) soft pannniers - no problem at all - hint: buy a soldering protector pad from B&Q (or similar) and fix it on your rack by the exhaust, hey presto, no scorch marks and your panniers are fully protected! Only a couple of quid too! BTW, another tip - we didn't use bungees but straps with buckles to tighten, then you don't need to worry about it pinging off and catching you a bit unawares!
I won't add to the hard vs soft debate..
But it sounds like these danger stories all have a common thread - negligent use of soft bags vs the safe complacency of hard luggage.
In my experience its how you set them up. soft panniers work great if you take care putting them onto the bike, tying up/cutting down loose webbing/strapping, maybe even using a few bent coat hangers to keet the fabric from the bikes heat sources.
Be extra vigilant when using. Only prob is security; in that dept. there s***e
Remember that a lot of 'grey-beards' purpose in life is to tut-tut and exhale noisily and tell you you are doing it all wrong. And a lot of them talk s***e.
If the system works for you stick with it. There are up and down sides to both types of luggage and as mentioned above, dangers inherent in both types too.

Hey Pottsy,
For the soldering mat -
B&Q Soldering Mat, 0000003276334
(cripes, I reckon THAT link won't work!) anyhooo, £4.98 from B&Q, we just fixed it to the side of the rack next to the exhaust.
Hope that helps!
Metal Mules for them and I had a much better time.
Hard boxes have their own pocket full of cons too. Price, difficult to repair, weight, bulk etc.
For road touring, I like plastic E36 Givi boxes and for more hardcore overlanding, softbags are my firm favourite.
I maybe tempted with Pelican Cases.. £40 each and more durable than Aluminium.
As well as some sort of heat shield, consider wrapping your exhaust from the headers to the end with exhaust wrap. It's not that expensive on eBay and can also save you from a nasty burn or singed trouser leg one day.
You also get that professional, rally-prepped look... :cool4:
Here's one I made earlier...
PS As another DIY mod, I picked out the best-looking finned computer heat sink from work and I think it would work pretty well jammed between the exhaust and the plastic. I've got adhesive insulating material on the underside of the plastic which is much thicker than the thin stuff that Honda glue on at the factory.

Naples woman shares memories of Nazi occupation of her homeland in 1940s
NAPLES - Ragnhild Sunde looked out her bedroom window in Oslo, Norway, and watched a larger crowd than normal get off the train and scurry in fear into their homes.
"Rumors spread like wildfire," she said. "Who could be believed? Not everybody had a radio in those days."
Her homeland, which had prided itself for more than 100 years of staying free from war, was in its early throes of the German occupation after Hitler invaded in April 1940. Sunde, a 10-year-old school girl, was full of questions. Her parents answered as best they could. She kept a diary.
"We sat on pins and needles at home, listening for unusual sounds, because at any time the Nazis could come to the home," she said.
Seventy-three years later, Sunde's recollection of the German occupation of Norway remains fresh to the 83-year-old, now of Naples.
She shared her memories Monday during a Veterans Day celebration at Naples Municipal Airport with about 50 people, mostly veterans.
Wearing a red bunad, a traditional Norwegian costume she purchased several years ago, Sunde remembered the fear that gripped everyone after the royal family fled to safety in London. A curfew forbid them to be out after 8 p.m or before 5 a.m. Theaters closed; she and her sisters couldn't sing patriotic songs.
"But worse, we were forbidden to get up off our seat on the train if a Nazi soldier sat next to you," she said.
Her father owned a small company that exported timber. His business came to a halt and he had no income. One day he was informed he had to move his family out of their home. He went to speak to Nazi authorities but refused to speak German to them, she said.
Instead, he spoke perfect Oxford English and flattered them by calling them "gentlemen." That earned him a reprieve for two weeks. But soon the family had to leave their home and move in with another family.
"Food was getting more and more scarce. We had to sign up in a store for milk," she said. But the milk, and once plentiful fish, were of questionable quality because of limited refrigeration.
"I remember the store owner trying to ladle up milk in my little bucket," she said. "It tasted as bad as it looked."
Sunde's school was occupied by Nazi solders. Classes moved into a church sanctuary.
"I tried to have a normal life," she said. "I was delighted to become a Girl Scout until the Nazis sent a letter that the Girl Scouts was considered military. I was just getting my uniform and only used it once."
By June 1943, the family home that had been relinquished to Nazis.
"One day, homesick, I walked past our old home. I climbed the hill and then suddenly out of a dark driveway, a Nazi soldier was stretching his arms," she said. "I only had one option to run."
If she ran down the hill, the soldier could catch her easily. She ran up the hill in hopes his heavy overcoat would hamper his chase.
"I ran and ran until I finally came to the top of the hill," she said. After stopping, her sister appeared out of the dark.
"After that incident, we always returned home together when we had evening school," she said.
In spring 1945, she was a teenager yearning for fun. Soon her wish came true.
"May 8 was a beautiful day, the sky was blue and the sun was shining," she said, recalling when Germany surrendered in Europe, and how thousands of people jammed the streets rejoicing.
"It was intoxicating," she said.
But fear of reprisals sent Norwegians back into their homes until the streets again erupted with celebrations a few days later. That's when she saw a man in a khaki uniform for the first time.
"He was the first American I had ever seen," she said.
In 1961, she married an American who was in the U.S. Navy and they moved to the United States. Her husband served in Vietnam and Cambodia.
"My heart thanks all the veterans around the world," Sunde said in her closing remarks Monday. "We will never forget you."
Today, Sunde lives with her daughter, Elizabeth Mains, 49, in Naples. Mains remembers making several trips to Norway to visit her grandfather and other family members who moved back into their old home after the Nazi occupation.
"You could see marks on the parquet floors from the (soldiers') boots," Mains said. "You could see the graffiti on the walls. They made holes in the ground where they had buried things."
Her mother's family also had stashed belongings in the attic, she said.
Among them was a radio.

Career Criminal Accused Of Shooting NYPD Officer Back In Court
The man accused of trying to kill an NYPD officer in Brooklyn last month is headed back to court.
Luis Ortiz, 21, a career criminal with over a dozen arrests, is expected to be arraigned Monday on formal charges from a grand jury.
A few weeks ago, Ortiz was indicted on charges of first-degree attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon, among other charges.
He is accused of shooting NYPD Officer Kevin Brennan in the head at point blank range.
The incident happened on January 31st during a chase on Bushwick Avenue.
Prosecutors called Ortiz "evil" and said his gunshots were "an assassination attempt."
While leaving the 90th Precinct in Williamsburg following his arrest, Ortiz smirked and blew kisses to the crowd.
Meantime, as for Brennan, the 29-year-old new father has made a full recovery, and recently he was promoted to Detective.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

I liked this mascara when I first bought it (one month ago). One coat gives a natural look with some lengthening and thickening. However with a second coat or even a third, it clumps and flakes. I use a clean mascara spoolie to remove excess clumps which helps but eventually the flaking starts. It's not fun having mascara flaking into your eyes. I won't repurchase.

I was very surprised with this mascara, I wasn't expecting too much as I had previously had a bad experience with a rimmel mascara. This lengthens, separates, defines and adds just a bit of volume. For me this is an everyday natural look, if you apply more coats you'd probably get more volume and use it for a nighttime look. The only thing is that it does sometimes flake and smudge on me which I find very irritating - with mascaras in general. Plus side is the compact packaging, curved brush (I love me a curved brush) and the ease of removal.

Overall, this isn't a bad mascara, or at least an everyday mascara. Especially in a pinch, it'll work just fine and I've definitely experienced worse, BUT I was relatively underwhelmed with it. It didn't clump, but it didn't volumize at all and there was barely any lengthening (even with layering, as I do with all my mascaras). I did find it a bit difficult to take off at the end of the day, but it didn't slide down my face during the day (which is a big deal for me). So, in this case, you get pretty much what you pay for (though I guess I am impressed with it for what I paid, which was all of $6 at Walmart).
If I have a choice, I won't be buying again, but if I'm in a pinch (as I was this time) it'd do for a while.

I've been using this mascara for 3 days now. Since I'm a mascara hoarder and have been wearing mascara for years, it doesn't take me that long to experiment with mascaras for me to know if it works for me or not.. It doesn't smudge or smear, but it makes my lashes very grainy, clumpy, and messy. The brush... It doesn't coat my lashes evenly. I tried to like this so much bc of reading good reviews and how cheap it is but this is very mediocre.

This mascara is my number one favorite . The packaging i had was a little different , the tube had a crown and it was the british flag in grey . What i liked about this mascara was that it has good volume . When i first tried it on it made my lashes really dark (which i look for in mascaras) . It makes my lashes thicker and softer . The only thing i didnt like about it that it doesnt lengthen much . Ive been buying this mascara for a year now, and ive gotta say it is my favorite and i love it .

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! I keep coming back to this baby. I'm never 100% happy with a mascara, I'm ALWAYS searching for something better, but I'm not sure if you can get something a huge amount better than this. This mascara does the job well. It lengthens and volumises to a good extent. Whilst I'm not blown away, I never have been by a mascara and I'm not sure if it's possible. I wear this to college, work and out clubbing. It will never smudge or flake. If you put on about 3 layers, it seems to clump a bit at the end of the lashes on the left eye and they end up pointing in weird directions (such as downwards) but that's just my lashes. This happens especially if I let it dry in between coats. But it's a nice thick creamy consistency (after the first few uses anyway) and it's relatively buildable. It's a nice rich black and this finish is a bit crunchy, but I think you just have to accept that if you wear mascara. Who's gonna be touching you eyelashes anyway? I'm currently deciding whether to buy this again at £3.50 on ebay or to get a different one, but I'm thinking buy this again. It's the best I'm gonna get unless I try thousands of other mascaras.

About RuthMychione Ruth
Ruth Keggin is a Manx Gaelic singer who is passionate about bringing Manx music and language to a wider audience. Her debut solo album, Sheear ('Westward'), which features traditional and contemporary Manx Gaelic songs, was released in February 2014. She marked the release date with an album launch in the Isle of Man, followed by a mini Irish tour where she shared joint-gigs with the Scottish Gaelic supergroup Dàimh.
Ruth studied voice with Amanda Crawley at the University of York, where she gained a first class degree in music. She performed as a soloist at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient 2012, where she was honoured to open the renowned Nuits Interceltiques to audiences of over 10,000 spectators.

How can my family get to locations along the course using public transportation?
What is the last day that I can qualify for the Boston Marathon?
Registration for the Boston Marathon typically begins in the Fall prior to the race. We cannot predict how quickly registration will fill, but once it does, we are no longer able to accept registrations. The date that we close registration, therefore, becomes the deadline for qualifying.
When applying for entry into the Boston Marathon, what proof of qualifying do I need to provide?
For application into the Boston Marathon, applicants must provide the name and date of the Marathon at which they qualified, and their official finishing time. The B.A.A. will verify all qualifying times before granting acceptance into the race.
What time will be used as my seeding time for the Boston Marathon?
Entrants in the Boston Marathon who have submitted a time that meets the qualifying standard for their age and gender will be seeded accordingly. Entrants without a qualifying time will be assigned a bib number accordingly.
What do I do if I cannot participate (injury or otherwise) in the Boston Marathon once I have registered?
How long will the Half Marathon course be open and at what time will timing stop?
Timing will conclude 2.5 hours after the last participant crosses the finish line. The course will close at various intervals prior to 11:00 a.m., and participants are then asked to move to the side of the road or continue on the sidewalks where available.
Is medical support available along the Boston Marathon course? How about the finish area?
American Red Cross Aid Stations providing first aid/medical support are located approximately every mile along the race course, including one at the start. Medical areas will be set up to provide medical support at the finish area.
Yes, B.A.A. Half Marathon merchandise will be for sale in advance from Marathon Sports. In addition, adidas and Marathon Sports will be present on race day near the Number and T-shirt Pick-up Area at the start of the event.

Google gives £550k to Bletchley Park
Google has donated over half a million pounds for restorations at Bletchley Park, the site which commemorates the birth of modern computing and the code-breakers who helped bring the Second World War to an end. Bletchley Park chiefs intend to use the cash to turn a crumbling hangar into a "world-class visitor centre and …
Good for Google
Given the importance to code-breaking history, should MI5/6/insert number here not contribute. Or maybe they did but want to keep that secret (force of habit, presumably)
Great News
Great to hear there's some money going in at last. And as I've said before Bletchley is somewhere all geeks should want to visit.
Bletchley Park
Great news that the future of Bletchley Park is now more secure.
But I hope restoration and conservation doesn't alter the overwhelming slightly "down-at-heel" 1940's period flavour of the place. Anybody at all interested in the history of computing should make every effort to visit it, and allow a full day.
I also hope the relationship between the National Museum of Computing and the Bletchley Park Trust can be clarified to the benefit of all concerned.
I particularly enjoy going to see the first computer I ever programmed on display rather than hidden and forgotten in a dusty museum store. They've even got a photograph of me standing in front of it 1961 - that's half a century ago.
Slightly off-topic, does anybody know why the movie "Enigma" which was set at Bletchley Park wasn't shot on location?
How much did Apple donate?
Just askin'.
They'll just wait till it's complete, claim they thought of it first and sue for infringment.
It's important history guys !!!!
I think it's a national tragedy that Bletchley has been allowed to fall into such disrepair.
I suppose it came about because of the obsessive nature of the secrecy there that noone knew about the historical significance of the place.
Come on country, this should be saved for future generations. It will be classed as one of the most important historical places for years to come, not just because it shortened the war by conservatively two years probably more, but also created computing.
The country couldn't give a rats about heritage.
Look at Cardington Hangar 1.....in such a state of dilapidation that, if not demolished, will soon just fall down. Loads of promises to pay for repairs from the builders of the nearby housing estate....no action though.
I think you'll find you're a little out of date. my understanding s that restoration is scheduled to be completed in 2012.
Hang on...
Is it Bletchley Park or the national museum of computing getting this grant? Because when I visited the place just after they opened the Tunny room & we had a tour around the colossus related stuff it was made clear that the NMC is separate from BP and rather than getting funding from it has to pay for the space it occupies.
As is made clear here: http://www.tnmoc.org/about.aspx
I grew up in Bletchley in the 70s/80s/90s... we had fun times climbing over the fence and necking Thunderbird wine in Bletchley Park. No one in the area had the slightest idea what had gone on there during WW2... to us it was just an office park owned by British Telecom.
They have to get £1.7M before they then qualify for the big payout?
Was that the Nigerian national lottery fund, perchance?
Will be useful to have up again...
if Britain gets kicked out of the EU.
