This is winter in a cup! The bold peppermint is mellowed by the sweet vanilla; all evened out by a great black tea. A great cup to keep you warm while you stroll through the snow… (Also, I tried uploading a picture of the tea, but it wasn't working. To see a picture, the Perennial Tea Room has a nice website.)
Another major backlog!
I got this one from LiberTEAS! This is a really nice, traditional breakfast blend. I've only had one cup from the generous amount sent to me by LiberTEAS and I had it black, but I can say almost positively that this one would be equally as nice with milk and sugar. It has a nice, smooth, bold taste. There's definitely some Assam in there, which gives it a nice bold and somewhat malty taste, but it is smooth too. Overall a very nice breakfast blend!
My cousin gave me this tea after exclaiming it was too "Bergamont-y" for her (it is double Bergamont. The amount of Bergamont is just right for me and I like how the tea doesn't have too much of a floral taste to it (too floral = soapy for me).
Though the tea is a solid in flavor, I feel as though the flavor flies out of the tea quite fast and for me to get a richer tasting tea, I have to leave the tea in longer but that ends up with a very watery tea at the second steeping. I wouldn't even attempt steeping it for a third time.
I've never been to Seattle, but after having a cup of this before work (thanks to LiberTEAS) I felt like I was there. It was just the boost I needed to get my day started on a Monday. It tasted a bit malty which is becoming a new favorite flavor in morning teas for me. This tea was also VERY smooth and bold. I could have easily had another cup, but I had to head off to work. I really need to make an order when I'm out. This really needs to be a staple in my tea cabinet!
This morning, my hubby and I left EARLY (5:00 am) to take our soon to be son-in-law to Olympia. I brewed the last that I had of this tea to take with me on the journey. Still just as rich and full-flavored as I remember. I really enjoyed it while it lasted.
An excellent chai. There are exciting notes of spice as well as hints of fruit in this blend. The black tea is strong and delicious. The spices are well-blended, and add warmth and a pleasant sweetness to the cup. The fruit tones are vague but add a delicious dimension of flavor to the cup. A very well-rounded cup of chai!
This is really good. One of the best Chai teas that I've had. I love the spices. Very warming!
YUM! I am currently drinking it as a non-latte and am contemplating adding a splash of chocolate creme…….
Today I don't have the luxury of being able to crawl back into bed after I get my youngest off to school because my oldest finishes her final hour at Cosmetology school today, and I'm heading up there to watch the event.
So, I need something to help me shake that desire to go back to bed! This is what I grabbed. It is a good wake-me-up blend. Strong and hefty, but, also incredibly smooth. I really like this one. A good tea to represent the Pacific Northwest!

Too delicate for a morning tea, but simply delicious for sipping. It has this light, sweet quality to it that is refreshing and relaxing. I am very glad I was able to pick this tea up.
I am surprised by how little the leaves unfurled during the steep.

I got a small .5 oz bag of this tea at Northwest Tea Festival. Opening the bag up, my nose filled with a warm chocolatey aroma. After steeping, the smell of the spice in the tea really came out. First sip – I was really surprised that the chocolate flavor came across so light. While it smells strong, it's much more like a hint of chocolate – it almost felt like a bait and switch until I took a couple more sips and the flavors combined more. The sharpness of the spices combined with the chocolate and the flavor of the rooibos was like a flavor explosion – it almost suggested the aftertaste of a warmer cocktail. I really want to buy more of this and a bottle of Bailey's, I think they'd go really well together!
Oh!, I said, after I poured the water on the leaves, and was sniffing the cup on the way back to my desk. Flowers!
What kind of flowers, you ask? A legitimate question, without an adequate answer from me. I can still get the smell of them as I sit here waiting for the cup to cool…but it's definitely floral. Like standing in a florist's, and outside they've just freshly cut the grass.
As it cools some, that scent is darkening down to something more patently Darjeeling in aroma — a bit floral, a bit honey, a bit grapes on a vine.
The taste is much more pronounced in the honey department than the smell, which makes me happy. I am a big fan of honey (though I never really add it to my tea, unless I'm making chai…because milk and honey are made to go together, of course).
This is quite nice. I'm used to the Darjeelings I've tried leaning toward being thin and grapeskin-tart when they're still very hot, and mellowing and filling out as they cool; this tea is currently just on the comfortable-to-drink side of hot, and it's mostly honey-sweet, smooth, a bit savory — probably from the full mouthfeel. I keep sipping and looking for new flavors, but it's remaining pretty consistent, nothing new from one sip to the next. This is alright, though, because each sip is pretty pleasant, surprisingly cozy for a Darjeeling. There's a very subtle hint of the tartness at the very back of my tongue the longer I sip, but it's not showing up for the main event.
I don't drink a slew of Darjeelings, but of those I've had, this one is pretty tasty!
I'll get around to noting steep 2 in a little bit.
(Holy cow, my rating system is a mess. It really needs some janitorial work!)
Oh no!
Steep 2 disaster. :( I got so caught up in making http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/reviews/Belize-Style-Sweet-Potato-Pudding-352370 that I forgot I was steeping tea. :( The second steep is surprisingly drinkable despite being abandoned in the cup for probably just shy of ten minutes (yikes) — I thought it was going to be a bitter mess. It's not, but it's flat and one-dimensional. Oops. Next time!
Oh noes! Sorry to hear about the missteep.
I rarely drink autumnal flushes because I haven't found one that contends a 2nd flush nor holds well to successive infusions, usually falling flat. Makaibari produces one of my favorite 2nd flush Darjeelings alongside Margaret's Hope.
I have yet to really sit down with any significant variety of Darjeeling to drink it sequentially, and until I do that I don't feel very familiar with what's out there. I'll certainly make a point to try those when I start (though I think it was probably inevitable, as they seem to be the most widely-discussed single-estate producers of the tea — or is that not so? I see them both mentioned everywhere).
Another rather mediocre English Breakfast tea; no real depth to the flavor. Adding milk and sugar made it even blander. (And what was with the recommended there-minute steep time?) Perhaps if it had been steeped longer, it would have had more flavor.
I liked the taste of this one very marginally more than the Cooling Mint Tulsi; there were complexities there I couldn't identify, but as with the Cooling Mint Tulsi, it was an interesting blend that I'd never had the likes of before. Herbal, in an herb garden-type of way.
This was one of the more interesting teas (in a good way) I've ever had. Listed as a tisane, it smelled more like an aromatic herb (and the plant from which it comes belongs to the same family as basil and rosemary).It smelled really fragrant, like an herb garden. It wasn't very sweet, but had a nicely rounded subtle sweetness to it, likely the result of whatever mints were added. I couldn't taste any strong mint, but there did seem (to me) to be some subtle peppermint and spearmint. Very interesting and quite nice!
This was fantastic! And is now one of my favorite Earl Greys. I could smell the lavender before I started brewing my tea, but I could taste the rosemary more when I drank the tea (with milk and sugar). Surprised at how much I enjoyed this; had a lovely rounded taste. I love lavender Earl Greys but the addition of the rosemary worked very well.
A good solid, Earl Grey; wasn't any more aromatic or than other loose leaf Earl Greys I've tried, but a good tea. Recommended steep time was three minutes, but I steeped mine for five (I like my teas a bit stronger). Held up well with milk and sugar.

Rimmel as a brand is quite a fun brand and reasonably priced, they are always bringing out new products and my make up box always has some Rimmel in it. Although it is quite reasonable, I find the quality to be high and up there with some of the expensive brands quality wise. This foundation comes in a number of different shades so you should find one to match you skin, I am in ivory which matches my skin perfectly.
The back of the foundation says ' feather light, liquid mousse, blends flawlessly for natural looking all day shine control. Silky smooth formula leaves a perfectly matte, baby soft finish. Light weight texture won't feel heavy or greasy'
....Price and availability....
You can get Rimmel in all of the usual places, Boots, Superdrug, asos or when you are doing your grocery shop in Tesco/ Asda/ Morrisons. The price varies depending on where you go, I would say around £5.99, this is the current price in Boots but it is on 3 for 2 so I think this is a really good price.
....My experience....
I first tried this foundation when I had a sample in my Boots advent calender, luckily it was my perfect colour so I gave it a go.
I apply this all over the face after my primer, the texture is mousse like and blends in really well, I find I need to blend it in more than some foundations to make sure I have no foundation marks, especially around the nose and hairline.
I used to think matte meant dull, but I was so wrong, your skin still looks radiant through the foundation. I would probably not have picked up a matte foundation in store but I am so pleased I had a sample to try.
Compared to some other foundations, especially my usual of double wear I can find this foundation does not lasts as long as some others if it is hot or having a hard day.
I can not say this is the only foundation I will ever use as I do use others but I have just bought a second tube of stay matte and I am absolutely loving it. Do not be put off by the face it is matte, it does not dull the skin, only gives a beautiful finish. I would recommend this to all skin types
Benefit comes across as a really fun brand with bright packagaing but the products are of a really high quality. They are quire pricey compared to other brands that you can pick up, but they last a long time and generally really work so sometimes I feel the extra price is worth it.
I have a slight obsession with reading beauty blogs and watching make up blogs on youtube and high beam was a product which came up time and time again so I decided it was time I gave it a go.
High beam is a liquid highlighter with a light pink satin like colour, it can be used over make up or on bare skin if you have a no make up day but just want a slight glow. Highlighters are massive now and you can pick up so many tips online for how to use them.
....Avaiabilty and price...
You can pick Benefit products up from so many places including from Benefit directly, Boots, Debenhams, feelunique and House of Fraser. For 13ml it will cost £19.50, this sounds really expensive but you use a tiny bit of the product each time so it lasts forever.
High beam is one of the last products I apply, what I do is put a few dots on my cheek bones and gently pat it in so I do not disturb my foundation which I have already applied.. I also use a tiny bit on my brow bones, down the nose and above my top lip - basically anywhere you want to highlight. I only use a small amount or it ends up looking too much and a bit cakey. I love contouring and this is the perfect product for the highlighting part - you can find so many good videos on youtube for contouring.
I love a highlighter and they can really finish off a look, this is the best I have ever tried and I would recommend to anyone
A primer is something which I have used for a few years now, at first I was not really sure what the point of adding an extra stage in between my moisturiser and foundation was but I would never not use a primer now. A primer smooths out your skin and gives an even surface ready for whatever make up you want to apply, even if you do not wear make up a primer will even out your skin tone. I have used a number of primers before and they all vary in texture and results.
....Smashbox Photofinish Foundation Primer....
Smashbox have a massive range of primers, these include:
- Photo finish foundation primer light
- Photo finish colour correcting primer
- Photo finish hydrating foundation primer
- Photo finish more than primer blemish control
So there is a primer for whatever you want, the photo finish primer is the first Smashbox one I have tried but look forward to trying others in the future, on the Smashbox website you can see a full list of their primers and what each claims to do.
....Price and availability....
You can pick this primer up at a number of places including Boots and from Smashbox direct. For 30ml it is £25 which does seem pricey but you only need a small amount to cover the whole face as it blends really well.
....My experience....
I use this product every morning before putting my make up on, I moisturise my skin and then leave the skin for a few moments for my moisturiser to soak in. You only need a small amount of primer as a small amount really does go a long way. Compared to some other primers which I have used this one is a lot smoother and not as thick, at first I was unsure on this but love the texture.
Once it is applied to the skin my skin feels really smooth and extra hydrated, it also gives the skin a more even look which I love.
I used to have trouble with my make up staying place for the full day but I find this primer really helps to keep my make up in place and last throughout the day.
I have personally never used a primer on an evening but I have heard that putting a primer on over your night treatment works well and locks in your treatment.
I would never not use a primer, once this primer runs out I am not sure if I would buy again, this is only because of the price, if it was a few pounds less I would not hesitate in repurchasing.
I absolutely love beauty products and I am always trying a new lipstick or body product but when it comes to skincare I am always nervous of trying new products due to having sensitive skin. I had saw this product on QVC and read about it in a few beauty blogs, after doing a lot of research it was something I really wanted to try. Philosophy is a brand which I already love and enjoy using, it is gentle but does really luxurious products too.
Philosophy purity one step facial cleanser is a one stop product which can be used to cleanse away your make up, eye make up, tone the skin and leave it lightly moisturised. We all know that just because a product claims to do these things does not mean it actually will so I was looking forward to see if this would.
....Bottle size....
I would not usually write a section on the size of the bottle but the amount of product which you get in the largest size is a big selling point for me as it makes it really affordable. The sizes which you can get the cleanser in are:
- 90ml (perfect for travelling)
- 240ml
- 471ml
- 946ml (I bought this from QVC)
The design on the bottle is really simple and in line with the Philosophy range, I personally love this.
....Price and availability....
You can get this product from online, Debenhams, John Lewis, Boots or QVC which is where I purchased mine as it seemed the best value.
The price which you pay for Philosophy is usually set wherever you buy it from
- 90ml: £8.00
- 240ml: £17.50
- 471ml: £28.50
- 946ml: £39.00 from QVC
....My experience....
I use this cleanser every day and night, I have been using it for around six months now. Although you can use this cleanser to remove eye make up and it works perfectly well, I personally prefer to remove my eye make up first with a different product. You then massage the cleanser onto your skin for 30 seconds, I feel like when doing this you can feel the make up lifting from your face. Then you just remove the cleanser with warm water. Once I have done this my skin is left feeling really clean and hydrated with no make up at all left behind. I find the fragrance of this product really hard to describe, it is not too heavy and just smells clean and fresh. I always follow with a moisturiser but the skin is not left really dry and tight which I have had in the past with some other cleansers. Cleansing is a step which we need to do but this product does make it a pleasure and not a chore.
I purchased the 946ml bottle which is huge for only £39.00 so feel this is a good value product which removes make up effectively, feels like a real treat to use and hydrates the skin. If you have sensitive skin and worry about trying new products, I would really recommend trying this. If you are unsure you can buy with QVC and have 30 days to try it, if it is not for you you can return it and get your money back so you have nothing to lose.
My first experience with this moisturiser was when I kept getting samples in magazines and with any beauty product I bought, I am always nervous in starting to use a different skin care product as I have extremely sensitive skin but when I kept seeing the samples I thought I would give it a go so with the trusted brand of Garnier I decided to give it a go and I am so happy that I did.
The first thing to decide when purchasing this moisturiser is which one you need to go for, there are 5 different types, these are:
- Protect & glow: moisturiser for normal skin
- Start afresh: moisturiser for normal/ dry skin
- Goodbye dry: moisturiser for dry/ very dry skin
- Wake me up: moisturiser for dull skin
- Shine be gone: moisturiser for combination/ oily skin
You can use the website moisturematch.co.uk and answer a few questions which will then give you your perfect moisture match.
I personally use start afresh as I have normal skin but do get dry patches. From looking at the descriptions, I could say my skin goes through each one of these types depending on time of the month/ year.
I have never paid full price for this moisturiser, I have paid £2.99/ £3.99. The RRP is £5.99 but you can always find it on offer.
You can pick this moistuiser up in all of the usual places - Boots, superdrug, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Savers so it is really easy to get hold on.
....My experience....
I apply this moisturiser day and night, every now and again I will try a sample or face oil if I need a little something extra but the majority of this time I use this moisturiser. The moisturiser has the texture of a lotion which makes it really easy to massage into the skin, I use it all over the face and neck, I do have to give it a minute before going on to apply make up but this is not a problem at all. I then feel like my face is moisturised all day until the evening when I remove my make up and moisturise again. In the past I have had major problems with my skin but this causes no irritation at all which is why I like it so much.
I have just bought my third tube of this moisturiser and I am almost certain that this is the first moisturise that I have ever purchased for the third time so that has to be a good thing.
If you are looking for a fancy moisturiser that claims to work miracles then this probably is not for you but if you want a good moisturiser to suit your skin type and do the job then I would really recommend this
I love bags and purses and adore my Cath Kidston bag, so it was a lovely surprise when I received this wallet as a gift. I would not have spent so much money on myself for a purse but was so happy to receive this as a gift. This first thing I did was take everything from my old purse and put it in here, this included loads of cards and my money which all fitted in perfectly.
This wallet will cost £26 and can be found on the Cath Kidston website, in the stores and other department stores which stock Cath Kidston.
Notting Hill pattern
This pattern is dark blue with a floral pattern on in a number of colours including red, pink and green. You can get many items from Cath Kidston in the same pattern, including, bags, shoppers, a travel pouch, welly socks, t shirt, sweatshirt dress and even a dog bed!!
Inside the purse
You unzip this purse with a zip which goes across three sides of the purse. The pattern inside is the same as that on the outside, it is a beautiful design. There is a zipped area in the middle of the purse to keep your coins in. And space for 6 cards. There is also space at both sides of the purse to keep extra cards in, paper money and receipts. I found everything to fit in, no problem.
The wallet is so easy to take care of, because of the material you can easily wipe it with a damp cloth. The material is 100% PVC coated cotton and the lining is 100% cotton with leather trims - the material amkes it feel really substantial.
One of the many things which I love about this wallet is how substantial it feels, you can feel the quality. I have had this wallet for about six months and it still looks as good as the day I got it. It is larger than some purses/wallets at 19cm x 11cm - this is a real advantage for me as I have always bought larger purse/wallets. If you would prefer smaller then Cath Kidston does sell smaller ones.
This wallet is really girly but I think it is suitable for so many age ranges - I adore it but can also image my mum and grandma using it. I know it may sound expensive but after using it for 6 months the price is totally worth it
Barry M nails - I love nail products so much and in general I find Barry M to be of an amazing quality and lasting as long as colour which has cost so much more. I remember when brands such as nails inc were bringing out magnetic nail polish and my only worry was that it would be difficult to do myself.
I was then in Superdrug one day and saw these magnetic colours were on offer so I bought the blue and silver with the straight lined pattern. There were a number of colours and patterns on the magnet to pick from, including, blue, silver, red, black and purple and the magnets were straight, horizontal, vertical and wavy. The magnet you pick is what pattern you will end up with on your nail. Once you have a collection of colours and magnets you can mix and match the colours and magnets. But yo have to use the proper magnetic nail polish with the magnets - any other polish will not work.
- Remove the square lid with the magnet on
- Apply one coat of polish to all nails and allow to dry
- Apply a second layer to one nail and immediately hold the magnet over the nail for about 10 seconds - this is when the pattern appears
- Repeat on all nails
This polish costs £4.99 but often on offer in Superdrug, e.g. buy two for £8.00, or 3 for 2 in boots.
For the first few times I tried I would catch the magnet on my nail and ruin the colour, this did not take long to get used to though and now I find the technique really easy. The end result looks like you have spent so much longer on your nails than you have. I also find this nail polish to be longer lasting and quicker drying than other nail polish too.
I do not use this effect all the time on my nails but it is fun and something different. Barry M is great for trying out new products, reasonable prices and always bringing out something new to try - younger people will find it really fun to experiment with
I love nails products and I am always wanting to try something new. I love painting my nails but waiting for them to dry sends me mad, then I came across Seche Vite. It is a top coat which I had read about on beauty blogs and saw on youtube videos, I was hoping I would not be disappointed as it sounded so good.
To use this top coat you just paint your nails as usual, I then give a small break (20-30 secs) and apply the top coat straight on to your wet nails. You load the brush and apply to the nail, as it is thicker than usual it spreads out so if you are not the best at painting nails, you do not need to worry as this corrects itself. You do not need to worry about your polish underneath, the top coat is quite thick and goes on perfectly. To make my colour last longer I always take the top coat over the tip of my nail to seal the colour on. It really is so simple to use which is a great advantage. After about 5-10 minutes I find my nails are totally dry and I can get on whatever I am doing - so much better than having to sit still for a long amount of time!
.....Price and availability.....
Asos - £10.95
QVC - Duo for £15.50
QVC - Trio for £18.75
It is also worth keeping an eye out on Amazon and eBay as you can often get this at a reduced price on there. You can also get a mini bottle on eBay if you are just wanting to try it out before paying the full amount.
I get bored so easily with colour so I do often change my nail colour but Seche Vite top coat means that for the days I have the colour on it is protected. I also find that the top coat gives an extra shine, unlike some top coats which can make the colour go dull.
So....I love trying out new things and often I find them great but then will love on to something else, but now I know this is something which I will continue to use as it really is amazing and does what it says!!!
I am writing this review because of the amount of chocolate we have around the house at the moment - a must at Christmas! There are so many tins of chocolates you can get now, Celebrations are ones which most of the family will like and share together.
Although I have mentioned the tins of Celebrations, you can get boxes of Celebrations all year round in a carton - great for gifts.
The problem is, once a tin is opened it just sits there waiting to be ate and is too hard to resist, even after a large Christmas Dinner, there is always space for a few chocolates.
Price and availability
- Tesco- Large carton (380g) is £4.00
- Tesco - Large tub/tin (855g) is £5.00
These prices change so often it is hard to say exactly how much they are. A few weeks ago the large tins were on 2 for £9 (great for stocking up at Christmas)
You can buy these in most supermarkets - Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons and Asda
My favourite is malteser, seems most of my family agree on that one.
The mini chocolates included in Celebrations are: Malteser, Bounty, Mars, Snickers, Twix, Milky Way, Topic, Galaxy, Galaxy Caramel. Each is individually wrapped. I am not to keen on the Mars or Bounty but someone always manages to eat them ones.
Although I would usually buy Cadburys chocolate, this is a lovely selection for all of the family - a real treat and sign on Christmas
I first tried L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil in part of a kit from QVC, I had previously looked at it but the price really had put me off. I am so happy I got to try it though, because this changed my mind straight away.
To use this oil you need to massage it straight onto your skin, I use it on damp skin, not when standing directly under the water. There are no massive bubbles, just a very slight foam. You only need to use a few drops, unlike some other body products where you need to use loads just to feel the effect. Once you apply the oil onto damp skin, it really spreads so you can get a lot of use out of a few drops. The feeling really is like silk, you can continue to massage into the skin and it will leave your body so soft. Because of the very slight foam it is perfect for shaving with also.
The smell is hard to describe, it is not overpowering but during the day I do smell it, I do still wear perfume and it does not get in the way of this. The smell is really soft and true to life rather than a sickly smell. To me the smell is really warm and comforting. I love to use a body moisturiser but some days just can not be bothered, with Almond Oil the skin is so soft that a moisturiser is not needed.
Price and Availability
-L'Occitane store/online £16.50 for 250ml
- QVC - It is available within kits which may save you money if you are looking for other items too
I know this price is so expensive and because of that, this is not the shower oil which I use all the time, I generally receive it as a gift or an odd treat for myself (received a bottle for Christmas). A bottle will last me months but this is because I do not use it every day, I see it more as a treat and will use it before big night out, hard day or after a long day.
If you get the chance to try this oil I think you will love it. It is my extra luxury/ treat when I feel it is needed.
I originally purchased this toner because I was ordering some Botanics body products and as the range was on 3 for 2 I thought this sounded like a good toner to try and it worked out as a bargain.
This toner is 100% certified organic which is a great bonus when purchasing any product.
This toner comes in a tall plastic bottle with simple label on with some instructions on the back and the Botanics logo on the front. The bottle holds 150ml of toner. The lid is a twist top so is really secure, it may be nicer if the top was smaller so not as much toner came out.
I use a toner after I have cleansed my face and before I apply moisturiser. I apply some toner to cotton wool and wipe it all over the face. It is a stage which I really like and feel that it calms my skin and removes any traces of make up which were missed when cleansing. Upon application you can really smell the rosewater which is so calming and refreshing, this is another product which is perfect used after it has been cooled in the fridge. Years ago I would have thought a toner would strip and dry my skin but this toner is the complete opposite and leaves the skin really plump and supple
....My Experience.....
I have found this toner to leave my skin feeling refreshed and calm which is important to my skin. I can not say anything bad about this toner but I have other toners which I prefer so I would not buy this again as I think there are better out there.
Overall I can only give this product 4* as I feel there is something missing when I compare it to other toners I have used
I am always looking at new make up and wanting to try the latest make up but lately have got to use up what I have. So when I saw Soap and Glorys new make up range I loved the look of it but thought I could not be spending more on make up. Then I saw this mascara was free in a magazine so I had to get it! Mascara is something I need to wear every day so I have tried many.
The mascara comes in a black tube with pink print on, it is quite simple packaging but really effective design. I think all of the Soap and Glory has really nice packaging so I was not surprised at this design.
For 10ml this mascara costs £10 so I think this an average priced mascara in somewhere like boots. Often this mascara is on 3 for 2 in boots so if buying more make up/products you can get more of a bargain.
This mascara is so simple to use and just needs to be applied the same way as any other mascara. Onto clean eyelashes you can put as many layers on as you need/want, I tend to put two on unless going out and then I'll put more on. The brush is quite big which I was surprised with compared to many other mascaras I have used but the brush is really nice and makes application easy.
....My Experience....
With mascara I often find by lunch time I look like a panda with my mascara flaking off and coming under my eyes, so when I used this for the first time I kept checking in the mirror and hoping I did not have panda eyes but I was so surpirsed and impressed that the mascara had not moved at all! I have really dark lashes but this mascara emphasises this and makes my lashes look so much longer and defined.
I am now really looking forward to trying more of the Soap and Glory make up and really hope it is as good as this mascara. I recommend this to anyone who has had trouble with mascara flaking and the dreaded panda eyes. Also, watch out for 3 for 2 at boots to get more of a bargain
I always have candles burning, reed diffusers out, plug ins on and the febreeze to hand, I love the house smelling nice. I have tried many different reed diffusers over the years but these air wick ones are totally my favourite. I have one in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and I even have one in my office at work now.
....How it works....
When you open up the reed diffuser there is a container which you need to remove the lid from, this vase holds the liquid/oil so you put the reeds into this and then replace the lid. The oil containing all of the scent will then be drawn up through the reeds and this will fill your room with the beautiful scent, it is so simple to use.
I love home fragrance but it is not always realistic to leave a candle or plug in on all day as I often will not be home, so having the reed diffuser is so safe and is there scenting your home all day. With young children on pets this is such a safe option aslong as you keep it at a height so it can not be knocked over. They need to be left on a flat surface and I would recommend on a window sill, on shelves or somewhere a bit higher as if they spill the oil gets everywhere, I learnt this the first time I used one so now I keep mine at a height.
....Different Scents...
There are a number of scents, I find different scents are better at different times of the year. The scents include,
- Freesia and Jasmine
- Linen
- Sweet pea
- Blackberry
- Mulled wine - my absolute favourite at Christmas
When I have fragrance in the home I want to be able to smell it and for the room to always smell lovely - this really gives me this.
....Availability and price....
Over the last few months I have noticed the RRP of these reed diffusers getting higher but I will not pay this price as they are often half price.
At Tesco at the moment they are £7 but watch out for offers
At Asda they are £4
I think with price it is hard to say as varies so much, but I pay between £3 and £4 and feel they are well worth this price.
You can pick these up in supermarkets and Wilkinsons at great prices.
I love these reed diffusers so much, can not wait to see the mulled wine scent back in shops, it is gorgeous and just smells of christmas to me! But these are amazing for all year. I recommend these to anyone who wants a constant scent in their home
The reason I first tried this face mist was I seemed to be looking in the mirror and the end of the day and looking like I had no make up and I remembered hearing this face mist was good at setting make up so thought it was worth a try. At the time there was a promotion on at The Body Shop so thought I had nothing to lose.
The way I use it is, once I have applied my make up on a morning I spray it about 4/5 (could use less) times onto my face, after a few seconds you can not see anything on the skin. You are advised to close your eyes and hold the bottle 10cm away from your face and spray once or twice (I should really use less!). It is also really good for keeping in your bag for a quick pick me up during the day, I can imagine it been lovely kept in the fridge so nice and cool.
Upon application the rosewater is what I can smell the most so it is really refreshing and a pleasure to use. Also the skin is left feeling really soft which is definitely a benefit of it.
.....Price & Availability.....
You can get this face mist in store or online, I generally get all of my products fromThe Body Shop online because of the amazing offers, there always seems to be a discount available, free gift or promotion.
The price for 100ml is £7. Although this may sound alot for only 100ml it lasts so long so I feel it is well worth the money.
.....What I found.....
The first thing I noticed about this product was how refreshing it feels, can imagine this been perfect in the summer if we ever get some heat! But for the refreshing aspect alone I do not think I would repurchase, the main part for me is the way which it sets make up. I have found that now when I look in the mirror throughout the day my make up is still there, unlike before when it would just disappear.
Although £7 for 100ml may sound expensive it is so worth it and I will never be without this face mist now, for anyone who gets frustrated with make up not staying on during the day I recommend this so much
....My Experience....
My nails were feeling weak and not growing past a certain level without snapping and really needed some help as treatments I had were not working. I saw nail envy on QVC for a long time but was never sure about it as I never know what to believe. But once my nails got to there worst I had to do something so decided to try it.
...How to use....
To use Nail Envy you apply two layers onto a naked nail and then every other day you apply an extra layer. You do this for one week then remove it all and start again. You can also use colour on your nails as long as nail envy is the first thing to go onto the naked nail. You apply this just like a standard nail varnish so it is really easy to use, the bottle is just like the rest of OPI nail polish.
....What I found....
For a few weeks I just stuck to Nail Envy with nothing else and within 4 weeks I saw a real difference but after one week I could already see an improvement. My nails were stronger and growing more than they had for years. Once I had used up my first bottle of Nail Envy I became more relaxed with my routine and now I do not always use Nail Envy - only when I feel my nails really need it. When using colour Nail Envy also doubles up as a great top coat
....Where to buy...
I get nail envy from QVC where it is £16.75 for Nail Envy original and Nail Envy matte so it is a great price compared to other places.
Boots - £18.65
lenawhite.co.uk - £18.55
All of these prices are for a 15ml bottle so it is a generous size.
So for me QVC is definitely the place to get nail envy, you have the added benefit of their 30 day money back guarentee incase Nail Envy is not the product for you.
I know there are so many nail products claiming to do amazing things to your nails but Nail Envy really did help my nails so much and now is great as a maintenance. But as with all beauty products I think it is down to the individual to find what is best. I recommend this to anyone who wants stronger nails - give it a go!!!

text: It's good to see that The Associated Press has picked up this story about Sarah Palin's church promoting an upcoming conference on "ex-gay" therapy. (Dallas Voice reported this last Friday.) The McCain-Palin campaign has yet to respond to media inquiries about whether Palin personally believes it's possible to "pray away the gay." My guess is she probably does, but it will be interesting to see how the campaign chooses to address this issue, if it all. Meanwhile, The New York Times is reporting that Palin's church also tries to convert Jews. More and more this whole thing reminds me of some news reels I once saw from the 1930s, but they were difficult to understand because the narration was in German!

Throat-clearing could be sign co-worker has medical condition
There are 205 comments on the Chicago Tribune story from Jun 19, 2008, titled Throat-clearing could be sign co-worker has medical condition. In it, Chicago Tribune reports that:D ear Amy: I work in an office where we sit in cubicles. A new hire has a very annoying habit of clearing his throat and making grunting sounds constantly.

Oh my, we've come full circle. I guess since Christmas is six months away we can't talk about charity as an alternative holiday gift idea, so, this being wedding season, we have to talk about charity as an alternative wedding gift idea.
As for "Hates Asking For Money", I had a thought - why doesn't she just enclose wire transfer instructions with the invitations? I think people will get the message without her having to say a word.(Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)
#2 Jun 20, 2008
Someone on my office clears their throat all day long and it is very annoying and distracting. To the person doing it: I do not care if it is a medical condition. Fix it. We are sick of you and hate you.
#4 Jun 20, 2008
Good morning, Dienne!
#6 Jun 20, 2008
LW1: You work in close quarters. Things other people do are going to be distracting and annoying. It's YOUR job to overcome these distractions and work. Especially when it's something as psuedo-involuntary as throat-clearing.
My bet is that the throat-clearing and grunts aren't nearly as bad as you've worked them up to be. I'm sure they started as a mild annoyance and now you're obsessing about it, gossiping with your posse, and building it into way more than it really is.
Build a bridge and get over it.
#7 Jun 20, 2008
And OK,(sorry for the mulitple posts) I have to say that I thought Amy did a good job with LW2 today.
Discouraging her from giving up and going the divorce route, encouraging her to push her doctor for more info and to INVOLVE HER HUSBAND were all good.
Especially the last. It's important that the husband sees that his wife is actively trying to solve the problem, that his needs are important to her and she's trying to make things better.
Amy did all right.
I guess it's true that even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.
#10 Jun 20, 2008
Amy, SHAME ON YOU!! YOu are NOT in a position to put forth the notion that the young man in L1 "might" have Tourette's. You could simply have said that he might have a medical condition and that if he did, it wouldn't be any of his coworkers' business. And FYI - constant throat-clearing could also be a sign of sinus infection, larygeal cancer, even cardiac dysfunction, or any number of other conditions.
So stop being so irresponsible. You're NOT a health-care professional.

How many times must it be said? Gifts should never be referenced on an invitation! I don't care how noble the suggestion is or how much you need it... NO!
#12 Jun 20, 2008
Once again, Amy passes up the opportunity to point out the crassness and etiquette faux pas of asking for gifts and, instead, actually ENDORSES this behavior! It is simply wrong to assume that a) you are entitled to a gift of any sort, whatever the occasion, or b) that you can tell the giver WHAT to give. It is one thing to say, if asked, "We would be honored if you would donate to X charity"; it is quite another to have the unmitigated gall to enclose a list with the invitation!
If D.C. Reader and her husband have favorite charities, then they should write their own checks to those charities or donate their own time.
#13 Jun 20, 2008
I would say to ignore it as well I have had the same thing, and never let it bother me, but it gets me when people are bothered by things I do, like what side of the desk my phone is on (I am left handed) the only thing thats left about me.
To the message above, I am conservative and christian, and in my experiences, its the bleeding heart liberals that wish for a person with a illness to be removed. they will feel sorry for them, but dont want to be near them..
#14 Jun 20, 2008
It is completely, appallingly inappropriate to tell people how they should donate their money. And yes, to assume off the bat that you are going to receive a gift of any sort is wrong. Write your own checks and support your own charities. And what does any of that have to do with a wedding, the celebration of two people joining? So stupid.
#15 Jun 20, 2008
re: LW3: telling people where to donate is also borderline impolite. i realize it's asking people to donate to "charity," but there's potential that a guest may not support or care for said charity (or, in some cases, find it offensive).
#18 Jun 20, 2008
hear hear!
#19 Jun 20, 2008
I wanted to do something similar to what LW3 did, except I don't know how to go about "asking" for it. We also don't need anything when we get married, coming from two households... but my dream is to have the guests do something -- something for charity, donation, visit a sick or elderly person, bake cookies and give it to a new neighbor, etc. and then write a paragraph or so about what they did, and stick it into a card for our wedding. I then could make a scrapbook of all the "good deeds" that were started due to our wedding.
Some people think this is tacky, and I for one don't know how I would even request it, even as our wedding date draws closer. It stresses me out so much that I sometimes just want to elope so no one has to buy any presents or do anything for us.
#20 Jun 20, 2008
I pretty much agree with this, I have a very stubborn, traditional family. When another family member got married, this topic got brought up, and many members said they would prefer not to give anything at all vs. giving to a charity. They want to shower the couple, not just give a gift. It's twisted logic, but I get the sense more than just my family members feel this way.
United States
#24 Jun 20, 2008
Return the gifts and donate the money
Heck most places will at least give you a store credit on a gift card. Lots of places transition shelters, humane societies, etc would be thrilled to accept that card. Sure your guests wouldnt be able to know how selfless and giving you are but as long as places are getting helped, it's all good right?
Just do it anonymously. You dont have to use your wedding to say to everyone, "we are giving people. Even at our own wedding, we put others first! Aren't we great!"
#25 Jun 20, 2008
Well - here we go again - in two prior responses to LW1 the writer refers to a "compassionate conservative" and then the response is that they must be a "bleeding heart liberal". Does anyone else get as tired of this back and forth conservative/liberal crap that pops up in almost every comment column? I sure do - I don't know where these notions come from that ALL conservative or ALL liberals are horrible monsters. The real problem in LW1's office is how businesses take people and cram them in small confined spaces with no privacy. I worked in a cubicle office with too many people in too little space, some people had to share desk space. After a while of throat clearing, gum snapping, overwhelming perfume it does sort of twist your thinking. Like in "9 to 5" a little rid-o-rat in the offenders coffee would clear that up. Just kidding.
United States
#26 Jun 20, 2008
I had a similar thought (not to mention of all the medical possibilities, Tourette's is probably the least likely). But on the other hand, Amy does indicate that it *might* be a medical problem and gives Tourette's as only one possibility. She doesn't say that's definitely what's going on.

SANTA CLARA --- Kyle Williams, the 49ers' valuable return man, won't be coming back.
Williams announced via Twitter on Monday that he sustained a season-ending left knee injury against the New Orleans Saints.
"Regret to inform y'all I will be out for the season with a torn ACL," he wrote. "Not how I saw things playing out, but in the end I will be fine."
Williams crumpled to the ground after a 2-yard run by Kendall Hunter near the end of the third quarter.
On that same play, Hunter also suffered a potentially serious ankle injury.
Coach Jim Harbaugh declined to get into specific injuries Monday, saying that players were still being evaluated, but he acknowledged the possibility that the 49ers' top two draft picks might finally hit the field.
Receiver A.J. Jenkins (first-round pick) and running back LaMichael James (second round) have yet to play this season.
Asked about the outlook for Jenkins and James, Harbaugh said: "There's a good chance there'll be some new active guys on Sunday. ... To both those youngsters' credit, and others who have been working extremely hard for their opportunity, we feel good and excited that a couple of those youngsters will get that opportunity."
Williams, 24, led the 49ers this season with a 27.2-yard average on his 13 kickoff returns. As the team's No. 3 receiver, he also had 14 catches for 212 yards.
On Twitter, Williams thanked fans for their outpouring of support
"This is just another obstacle. I will have to climb back," he wrote. "Love all true fans. Your prayers are much appreciated."
* With Williams poised to go on injured reserve, the 49ers could sign another player. Former Eagles receiver/returner Chad Hall is a possibility, according to Adam Caplan, an analyst for philadelphiaeagles.com. Kaplan reported that the 49ers have interest in the 26-year-old former Air Force standout, and Hall later tweeted, "California, California, hear we cooooooome."
* There no update on tight end Delanie Walker, who left Sunday's game with a hip injury. "We'll see," Harbaugh said. "We haven't got the final report. It was a hard-hitting game. It took a toll."
Walker walked out of the locker room after the game but was then placed on a cart that took him to the team bus.
* Aldon Smith moved within six sacks of Michael Strahan's single-season NFL record (22??1/2 in 2001). "Proud as heck for Aldon," Harbaugh said. "Let's keep on truckin'."
* Among the things that most pleased Harbaugh about Sunday's defensive effort was the 49ers' sure tackling. He suspected there might have been only one missed tackle but wanted to watch the game film to make sure. Harbaugh said preventing yards after the catch was a huge factor against the Saints, especially against backfield dynamo Darren Sproles.
* The 49ers-Saints game will be featured on the NFL Network's "NFL Replay" show Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.?? The show condenses the action to 90 minutes and uses bonus footage from NFL Films and NFL Network coverage.
* The 49ers did not allow a sack on any of Colin Kaepernick's 25 pass attempts. It is the second time this season the offensive line allowed no sacks. (Also Oct. 7 vs. Buffalo.)
* The 49ers improved to 16-4-1 against NFC opponents under Harbaugh.

Rod Stewart has revealed he was ''in awe'' of Elton John's partying habits during the 70s because the 'Rocket Man' singer could always out last him.
Rod Stewart was ''in awe'' of Elton John's partying habits during the 70s.
The legendary musician - who had secured both the number one single 'Maggie May' and number one album on both sides of the Atlantic at the time - has revealed he admired Elton not only for his musical talents but also for his stamina on a night out.
In his new book 'Rod: The Autobiography', he writes: ''I also had to be in awe of the fact that, whether it was drink or cocaine, he (Elton) could see me right under the table every time.''
Rod, 67, insists he and Elton, 65, became best friends in the 70s and a fellow pal of theirs even gave them female nicknames for each other because they were so close.
He explains: ''It was in the early 1970s that Elton and I drew especially close, the best of mates for a while.
''Our mutual friend Long John Baldry had christened me 'Phyllis,' he had christened Elton 'Sharon,' and that's what we were to each other: Phyllis and Sharon. Or just 'dear'.''
The pair were so close that one Christmas the 'Rocket Man' hitmaker bought Rod a Rembrandt painting, embarrassing Rod who had got Elton a novelty fridge.
Rod said: ''Elton's present to me that year - a Rembrandt. He later tartly referred to my gift as 'an ice bucket'.''
Elton eventually overcame problems with drink and drugs after suffering a cocaine overdose in 1975. He has been responsible in recent years for helping several stars get help for their substance abuse issues, including Eminem and Robbie Williams.

Wholesale gasoline costs in metropolitan markets across the U.S. were mixed for the week-ended Monday (1/24), although most city averages moved lower in concert with a decline by the benchmark futures contract traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Still, higher pass through costs continue to work their way through the supply chain, likely pushing the U.S. retail gasoline average higher for an eighth consecutive week.
According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the U.S. retail average for regular grade gasoline surged to a $3.104 gallon 27-month high on Jan. 17. The average is up 24.8cts or 8.7 percent since Nov. 29, 2010 when the string of successive increases began. Higher gasoline prices have been driven primarily by increasing crude costs, which are now trading below $90 barrel as worry over supply eases on climbing inventory levels in the US and comments from Saudi Arabia that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) might hike supply to meet rising demand.
View DTN's Weekly and Historical Gasoline Price Index.
Saudi Arabian oil minister Ali al-Naimi said in a speech on Monday in the country's capital of Riyadh that projections for increased demand for OPEC's crude oil this year might prompt the oil producer's group to increase its output. Al-Naimi said OPEC has an established policy of increasing supply to meet rising demand.
Saudi Arabia is the world's largest oil producer and member of OPEC, which supplies roughly 40 percent of the global oil consumed. OPEC places quotas on its total production level in order to limit a supply buildup of oil that would depress prices.
Demand Increase
Earlier this month, the Energy Information Administration, the International Energy Agency (EIA) and OPEC all increased their expectations for global oil demand in 2011. The drivers were primarily expanding economies in Asia and the U.S., with growing economies using more energy.
Higher oil demand continues to come from countries like China, India and from nations in the Middle East. US oil demand also picked up in late 2010, although the growth pace slowed this month.
"People say demand is relatively weak in the U.S., but the U.S. is only one quarter of the market," said John Felmy in a conference call with reporters on Jan. 21 regarding high gasoline prices. "China is growing at double-digit rates with India and the Middle East right behind them. It's the world prices of oil that goes into the cost of manufacturing gasoline."
Al-Naimi said even with an increase in OPEC's crude output this year the group's spare capacity would still have the ability to produce another six million bpd. The IEA, which is based in Paris, said it sees OPEC's spare capacity slipping below five million bpd by year end.
Spare capacity offers a cushion in an event of a supply disruption or unexpected spike in global oil demand.
Another factor supporting high gasoline prices is expected seasonal maintenance at US oil refineries, which run through early spring. Called turnarounds, refinery operators will shut units for extended maintenance that can last for one to two months, depending on the amount of work. Refiners typically build up a reserve of supply ahead of this downtime to avoid supply disruptions with its customers.
A refiner can also buy in the open market to make up for its lost output due to maintenance. Still, historically refinery downtime has built a price floor for the market, limiting the price decline by gasoline.
Nonetheless, wholesale oil and gasoline prices look "heavy," and due for a downside price correction that would pressure retail values. Longer-term, the trend remains pointed up, with the EIA estimating up to a 10 percent probability for the US gasoline average to top $4 gallon this August-September.

ROOTS-L Resources: Info and Tips for Beginning Genealogy
Whether you're just starting out or you've been doing genealogy forever, here are some useful general information files.
: An overview of the records you'll want to access as you begin. Later on, too.
: Searching Your Family Tree, by Richard Pence. An excellent article on how to do genealogy, with sections on getting started, interview pointers, family traditions (should you believe them or not?), how to keep records, places to do research such as libraries and the National Archives, and the main types of records that are used, such as census records, military records, vital records, passenger records, land records, etc.
: It just came in the mail, your unique chance to buy a copy of "[Your surname] since the Civil War" or "[Your surname] across America". Is it a scam? Might be. Some of the more common ones are discussed here, so you can decide before you buy. (Even if it is a scam, it's possible you may still want the book.)
: A guide or checklist of resources for doing genealogy reseach at home, at a Family History Center, and elsewhere.
: A list of genealogy reference books, written in 1985. While many good genealogy books have subsequently been written, many of the books listed here remain unsurpassed.
: A questionnaire to help gather family history information from yourself and other family members. (Interview yourself? Sure, why not?) See also
Joanne Todd Rabun's Oral History Questions.
: What is an oral history? What are the advantages of collecting an oral history as opposed to relying on, say, letter writing? How does one best go about creating one?
: Besides Family History Centers, an excellent place to do genealogical research in the USA is at the regional branches of the National Archives.

Massive Attack
Blue Lines 2012 Remix/Remaster
US: 20 Nov 2012
UK: 19 Nov 2012
It is an undisputed cultural milestone. In 2003, Q magazine named it the tenth best British album ever. Among British albums of its era, only The Stone Roses' self-titled debut has been more lauded. Yet, taken out of context 21 years after its release in June, 1991, how does Massive Attack's Blue Lines hold up as music?
Blue Lines is different from The Stone Roses or even other similarly celebrated British albums of the time such as Primal Scream's Screamadelica and Happy Mondays' Pills 'n' Thrills & Bellyaches, Blue Lines had nothing at all to do with rock'n'roll. Instead, it took elements of r&b, soul, hip-hop, and dub reggae, committed to the slowed tempos of the latter, and combined it all with the then-burgeoning dance music culture to create a new sound that was so fresh it demanded attention. This singular sound, so finely-detailed and carefully-assembled, was timeless. This is the primary reason Blue Lines has endured.
The very concept of Massive Attack was non-traditional. From the nebulous, Bristol-based Wild Bunch soundsystem emerged the line-up of Robert "3D" Del Naja, Grant "Daddy G" Marshall, and Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles. Largely funded by UK pop star Neneh Cherry, the core trio established their highly collaborative working method of bringing in various producers and guest vocalists to help fill out their visions. Blue Lines remains the most truly unified result of this method, and in that respect it is the definitive Massive Attack release. As a musical and artistic statement, it remains almost redoubtable. As music, though, it is not without its flaws.
Blue Lines so defined by its singles that they have nearly become synonymous with the album itself, threatening to blue Blue Lines' identity. If anything, this reissue forces a recalibration of perspective. The haunting, literally windswept "Safe From Harm" remains a powerful statement, the churning bassline and sharp hip-hop breakbeat creating a sense of danger from which Shara Nelson's warm, rich, yearning vocals offer comfort. Crucially, though they made slow music that was not rock'n'roll, Massive Attack were anything but soft. This reality is established right from "Safe From Harm"'s chorus, where Nelson warns, "If you hurt what's mine, I'll sure as hell retaliate," whereupon Del Naja backs her up with his serpentine rapping. The song also features one of Massive Attack's strongest choruses.
And then there is "Unfinished Sympathy", a song that has been branded "one of the best ever" in its own right. Again, Nelson's soulful vocals are crucial, only wounded and mad this time as she declares, "You're the book that I have opened / And now I've got to know much more". The strings swell as the emotion does, and another headsplitting breakbeat is employed. The end result is undeniably powerful, but you still can't escape the fact the song has been overrated. Get beyond the chiming, Bob James-sampling opening and that initial rush of strings, and what you have isn't much more or less than a very good, melodramatic, introspective midtempo Pet Shop Boys ballad.
The most rewarding re-discoveries lie in Blue Lines' secondary tracks. Reggae great Horace Andy, the only guest vocalist to appear on all of Massive Attack's albums to date, lends his inimitable quivering, melancholy to the Isaac Hayes-sampling "One Love". Just barely propelled along by electric piano and beatbox, the song is perhaps the album's best example of Massive Attack's mastery of carefully-nuanced minimalism. A faithful, Nelson-fronted cover of William DeVaughn's "Be Thankful For What You Got" some relief from the heavy atmosphere, yet its melancholic optimism fits perfectly with the album's overall vibe. The title track, with rapping from Tricky and 3D, is Hayes' style of hushed, luscious bedroom music for a new era.
All of the standouts make it easy to forget Blue Lines also contains several tracks that, though tasteful and as carefully-constructed as the others, fail to dazzle. Those would include "Five Man Army" and minor single "Daydreaming". These tracks serve as reminders that, even with Massive Attack's focus on atmosphere and groove, exceptional songwriting goes a long way.
This "2012 Remix/Remaster" version of the album, with its rich mastering, is the one to own. Wisely, the band and label have included no bonus tracks, instead emphasizing the compact, capsule-like quality of the original tracklist. Of course, a "deluxe" edition is available, adding vinyl and audio DVDs, but still no bonus tracks.
Yes, Blue Lines is a milestone. But it is not Massive Attack's masterpiece. Though some would disagree, that honor goes to 1994 follow-up Protection. Still, Blue Lines was and remains an extremely important release, one that spawned an entire sub-genre of imitators. And it has stood the test of time very well.

If a god exists that is all-powerful and all-loving, then why is there evil in the world – particularly natural evils such as genetic and acquired diseases, birth defects, predators, and natural disasters? August Berkshire, Minnesota's leading 'Friendly Atheist', has spent the past 25 years discussing these issues with religious people and has compiled a list of their top 15 responses. Come judge for yourself if these explanations hold water, or if they are 15 more holes in the boat of religion.

The vision of Training Leaders
International -- bringing together Christian pastors who have enjoyed the
privileges of training with Christian pastors in cultures where there are few
opportunities for training -- is proving fruitful and encouraging. It brings
biblical and theological content to the people best positioned to pass it on to
others. Most forms of short-term mission are fraught with troubling downsides,
but this pattern of transferring serious theological nourishment is enriching
both parties to the glory of God.
------D.A. Carson, Research
Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
I love the goal of international,
Christ-exalting, theological famine relief. And I love the way God has raised
up Training Leaders International to meet that need with real live,
Spirit-filled, human teachers, on the ground, face-to-face with seasoned and
emerging pastors and Christian leaders who have little or no opportunity for
in-depth theological training. So I thank God for Darren Carlson, and the
amazing ministry God is gathering around his vision. May the word of the Lord
run and be glorified!
-----John Piper, Pastor for
Preaching and Vision at Bethlehem Baptist Church
Church leaders in the
developing world are longing to receive in-depth theological training but are
most often hindered by lack of opportunity. TLI strategically leverages the
advantages of the western church and training institutions by sending teachers
with a passion to spread the supremacy of God and with humble hearts to serve
these pastors who long to receive sound bible-based training. We are so
grateful for their partnership with ARCC as we are together raising up a new
generation of leaders thoroughly equipped to spread the gospel throughout
Africa and beyond!
-----Jeff Atherstone, Principal of African Renewal
Christian College
Darren Carlson is the Founder and President of Training Leaders International. As President, Darren oversees the general direction of the ministry and serves as an advocate for pastors with little access to formal training and thoughtful cross-cultural theological engagement.

Three injured in Sherman car accident, driver charged with speeding and driving without license
A car accident in the Town of Sherman left three young people injured after Mark Maio, 20, attempted to pass another vehicle in a no-passing zone while exceeding the speed limit on Route 430 today shortly after 2 a.m., Chautauqua County Sheriff's officials said. Maio lost control of his car, which struck multiple trees.
Maio was also taken via ambulance to Hamot Medical Center in Erie. The two passengers in Maio's car – Todd Clark, 19, and Kayla Clark, 18 – were also injured. Kayla, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, had to be extricated from the vehicle and taken by Starflight to Hamot. Todd, who was sitting in the backseat, was taken to WCA Hospital.
All three reside in Jamestown.
Maio faces charges of unsafe passing, speed not reasonable and prudent, and aggravated unlicensed operation. He could face additional charges pending the results of a toxicology report.

Miley finishes surprise season with a flourish
PHOENIX — Wade Miley did what he could do Monday.
The rest is up to the electorate.
Miley added to his strong case for the National League Rookie of the Year award in his final start of the season against the Rockies, and he made it in capital letters. Among those who believe the game revolves around the men on the mound, it should be no contest.
Although he was not around long enough to get the victory, Miley deserved it. The left-hander struck out a career-high 10 and did not walk a batter while giving up six hits. The last two ended his night, as Colorado got back-to-back doubles with two outs in the eighth inning to take a 3-2 lead. While Paul Goldschmidt homered to tie the game in the ninth, the Rockies scored four in the top of the 13th to hand the D-backs a 7-5 defeat.
"It was a very fitting way to end a really nice season for him," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said of Miley.
The Rookie of the Year race probably will be close, and Miley may find himself battling several biases — the hitter/pitcher bias, the contending-team bias, even the time-zone bias.
Nationals cover boy Bryce Harper and Reds hole-plugger Todd Frazier are the rookies with the best numbers offensively, and the Rockies' Wilin Rosario hit his rookie-high 28th home run in the seventh inning to end Miley's shutout.
Miley is the leader in at least one clubhouse.
"He just comes after guys. He doesn't respect any hitter. That's what I like about him," catcher Miguel Montero said.
Said Miley: "My mindset is I really don't care who gets in the box, what they've done. I just want to get them out. Whatever it takes to get them out. I go right at guys and hope for the best."
Miley used that approach to go 16-11 with a 3.33 ERA in 194 2/3 innings, walking only 37. As good as the numbers are, they do not tell the whole story. Miley lost one game in which he gave up one earned run and lost another in which he gave up just one unearned run. He received a loss or a no-decision in five of his 18 quality starts, including Monday's.
"You show me in history a starting pitcher with close to 200 innings and 16 wins who didn't start the season in the rotation. I'm not sure you'll find another one," D-backs closer J.J. Putz said.
"Frazier has some good numbers and Rosario has some good numbers, and Harper definitely has the hype. Hopefully it doesn't come down hype."
Miley made the jump this season after an offseason program that included what he called playing catch with a purpose. He walked 18 batters in 40 innings last year — he remained a rookie this season because he was under the 50-inning limit — and did not like pitching around the clutter. He often pitched out of it, but still …
"It's a little stressful when you look up and there are bases loaded and one out. It was like, 'How did I get myself here?' I feel a whole lot better not being there," Miley said.
Throwing in the offseason at his former high school or college, or with his cousin in the front yard of their house in Loranger, La., Miley concentrated on hitting the target instead of just casually tossing it around.
It worked. With just 37 walks, Miley ranks in the top five in the league fewest walks per nine innings, averaging a meager 1.7, which puts him in Cliff Lee/Mark Buehrle territory.
"Throwing it here (Miley puts his glove at chest level) rather than just throwing it. If I am looking at his knee, throw at his knee. If I am looking at his chest, hit his chest. Just repeat my delivery. It's just concentration," Miley said.
Miley has blown away the field among NL rookie pitchers, leading in victories, ratio of hits and walks per nine innings and the new-math WAR (wins above replacement player). He ended the season with as many victories as San Francisco's Matt Cain, a better ERA than Atlanta 16-game winner Tim Hudson and a higher WAR than the Giants' Madison Bumgarner, yet another 16-game winner.
It was a year few would have predicted.
"We didn't count on him to win 16, 17 games," Gibson said.
"There are always surprises. You are always looking for people who want to come out and be hungry and sustain it. That is what is most important to the organization — if you can sustain it."

What if somebody was secretly filming your life from the day that you were born until present. Would you watch it? Why?
Parts of it, definitely. But I'd be holding onto the remote ready to fast forward through most of it.
I'd watch the highlights.<br />
I'd really like to see my love again. Something I'll never get back.
No. It would take too long and I have better things to do.
No, no way! Why choose to go through all the pain again when I have a choice this time? But you know, it is a sobering thought. If we wouldn't want to see all the mistakes and wrong-doing we've done in this life, then wouldn't it be more satisfying to think deliberately about the things we do, things we say and choose what we know would be right to do...and think back without regret?
No, I have seen it already !!
yeah, i'd watch it but alone
I'd watch it up to about my 15th birthday, then I'd turn it off. I cried enough during the living of it. Why would I go back and relive all those sad times.
Hell yes, I'd be fascinated to know what I got up to in my misspent youth!

The Management Service fails to start with the error 0x80040154.
There are many reasons why you may see this error code when trying to start the Management Service. For further details, check the event viewer and look for event ID 8004:
Error: Runtime error Data: 0x80040154 - Class not registered Event Type: Error Event Source: Sophos Management Service Event Category: (2) Event ID: 8004 Date: 01/01/2012 Time: 09:00:00 User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: COMPUTERNAME Description: Initialization failed.

In this case the issue occurs when 'Initializing the Spring.NET Application object' though the error code 0x80040154 does not necessarily mean that this is always the case and so the event log should always be checked.

Ultrasound Technician Has Many Career Options
The job of an ultrasound technician is a serious one. The demand for qualified technicians is on the rise. The students who will prepare themselves to be trained in this specific field will stand to gain a lot in the coming years. You will find that there is job insecurity today and youngsters are not able to make up their mind regarding their careers. This is one area of study that can help them build a career and make loads of money as well.
How Does This Modern Technology Help Patients?
It is interesting to observe the latest advancements and improvements in medical science. It has paved way for many new and exciting career options for the coming generation. Technology is changing at a rapid pace. To keep pace with this, there is a growing demand for trained people too. Ultrasound technology is one such field that requires qualified technicians. Earlier, doctors treated people with X rays. But today they have yet another non invasive technology at their disposal that is able to cure patients effectively.
Attractive Career Options In This Field:
In almost every area of medical care ultrasounds are used. From that you can well imagine the job options available to technicians. Not only that the ultrasoundtechnologist salary range is also very attractive. That is the reason why so many young medical students want to study this technology today.
It Is A Blessing For Medical Science.
It is a boon for medical science as with this technology doctors are able to treat most complex diseases that could not be treated earlier. Such illnesses were considered to be incurable and terminal. But things have changed now for the better. This modern technology has changed all that forever.
A technician in this field should have many qualities. Along with good educational qualifications he/she should also have the patience to deal with sick people. These qualified technicians must have a kind heart as they will be serving patients with various diseases. That can be demanding at times. They will need good communication skills so that they are able to explain about the disease to the patients and their families. Critical thinking skills are also required here. A caring attitude will always set you apart from the rest. As a technician you will have to shoulder many responsibilities on your own. The person who performs best will certainly get the rewards as well.
