Visit a Famous Movie Filming Location Near You
4 minutes
A scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, shot at the Art Institute of Chicago[/caption]
A great way to learn more about American culture and explore your city is to watch a movie, then go see where it was filmed. There are thousands of great locations across the country and you can look up where your favorite film was shot. We found movie locations in eight cities across the country that we thought would be fun to visit. You can start watching and visiting some of our suggestions, then find some of your own. Here are some ideas:
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
The Swan House in Buckhead was portrayed as President Snow's Mansion in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The crew spent three weeks at the Swan House for five days of filming. In real life it is open to visitors as the Atlanta Historical Society.
Contagion (2011)
This is a thriller about the outbreak of a contagious disease. Although they filmed all over the country and the world, key scenes were filmed at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. You can visit their museum to find out how the CDC and their scientists deal with deadly disease every day.
Good Will Hunting (1997)
Filmed all over Boston, this movie focused on Harvard (technically in Cambridge) and the surrounding areas. You can visit the oldest university in the U.S. and walk its beautiful grounds. Make sure to see Harvard yard, the scene of many books and movies and the Bow and Arrow pub, a filming location for Good Will Hunting.
The Boondock Saints (1999)
Irish brothers clean up Boston by killing mafia thugs while the police chase them. It has locations all over the city, but a great outing is visiting the famous Boston Common downtown, then walking to Copley Square through Back Bay.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Ferris and his friends skip school for a day and head into Chicago, hitting many of the major sites including Sears Tower and Wrigley Field. You could spend a whole day just visiting the Art Institute of Chicago, also in the movie.
The Dark Knight (2008)
We may think of Gotham City as a representation of New York, but many of the scenes in this Batman movie were filmed in Chicago. There are some great shots of the Loop, including the Richard J. Daley Center, which has a famous Picasso sculpture and holds noontime cultural events and a seasonal farmer's market.
Los Angeles
Iron Man 2 (2010)
The sequel to Iron Man has some fantastic locations around Los Angeles. A particularly beautiful one is the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens, which are worth a visit on their own. If you're looking for something more kitschy, check out Randy's Donuts in Inglewood.
Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
This was probably the most famous movie of James Dean's career and epitomized L.A. cool. Go up to Griffith Park Observatory to check out the planetarium and see the site of the climactic shootout scene.
The Birdcage (1996)
This movie about a gay couple trying to act straight for their son's sake is set in the Art Deco District in Miami. Take a stroll along Ocean Drive to see the great architecture and make sure to stop in at the Carlyle Hotel, which was the Birdcage, the drag club that the movie was named after.
Any Given Sunday (1999)
Watch this movie for a look behind the scenes of American Football. Although the Orange Bowl has been knocked down, you can visit Marlins Park that was built on the same site in Little Havana. There are also several scenes shot in Coconut Grove, the oldest area of Miami, which is worth exploring.
New York City
Annie Hall (1977)
We had to include a movie by Woody Allen, the ultimate New Yorker. Follow the stars walking around the Upper East and Upper West side and go to Central Park. For a great day out, visit Coney Island in Brooklyn, ride the Cyclone and see where they filmed.
Black Swan (2010)
The cutthroat life of a ballerina is the focus of this movie entirely set in New York. To see some of its locations, visit the Brooklyn Museum or see a show at Lincoln Center (although the stage they used was really at SUNY Purchase, they also shot scenes here).
San Francisco
Bullitt (1968)
One of the most famous car chase scenes in movie history was shot speeding up and down San Francisco's steep hills. Just hiking up them is commitment enough to the movie, but you may also enjoy visiting the beautiful Grace Cathedral where they served the habeas corpus writ.
Milk (2008)
Based on a true story, Milk follows the last few years of California's first openly gay politician. You can see the San Francisco city hall where he ultimately works or wander down Lower Haight Street for a glimpse of his apartment building and neighborhood.
Washington, D.C.
The Exorcist (1973)
When a girl is possessed, her mother turns to a local priest whose faith is not on solid ground. Much of the film was shot around Georgetown, a great neighborhood to walk around in D.C. Don't miss the iconic Exorcist steps at the corner of Prospect St NW and 36th St NW leading down to M Street NW.
All The President's Men (1976)
This is the story of the two young journalists who broke the Watergate Scandal that brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon. Many of the classic buildings of D.C. are featured in this film, but the Washington Post building or the Library of Congress are where they did much of their dangerous research.
Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Ani is a fan of exploring new places through photography and the local cuisine. After earning her BFA in photography from NYU and gaining communications experience at International Planned Parenthood Federation, she joined InterExchange in 2012, and worked as the Marketing Producer until 2016.

very manageable compass, in a country in which there was a proper distribution of functions between the central and local officers of government, and in which the central body was divided into a sufficient number of departments. When Parliament thought it expedient to confer on the government an inspecting and partially controlling authority over railways, it did not add railways to the department of the Home Minister, but created a Railway Board. When it determined to have a central superintending authority for pauper administration, it established the Poor Law Commission. There are few countries in which a greater number of functions are discharged by public officers, than in some states of the American Union, particularly the New England States: but the division of labour in public business is extreme; most of these officers being not even amenable to any common superior, but performing their duties freely, under the double check of election by their townsmen, and civil as well as criminal responsibility to the tribunals.
It is, no doubt, indispensable to good government that the chiefs of the administration, whether permanent or temporary, should extend a commanding, though general, view over the aggregate of all the interests confided, in any degree, to the responsibility of the central power. But with a skilful internal organization of the administrative machine, leaving to subordinates, and as far as possible to local subordinates, not only the execution, but to a great degree the control, of details; holding them accountable for the results of their acts rather than for the acts themselves, except where these come within the cognizance of the tribunals; taking the most effectual securities for honest and capable appointments; opening a broad path to promotion from the inferior degrees of the administrative scale to the superior; leaving, at each step, to the functionary, a wider range in the origination of measures, so that, in the highest grade of all, deliberation might be concentrated on the great collective interests of the country in each depart
ment; if all this were done, the government would not probably he overburthened by any business, in other respects fit to be undertaken by it; though the overburthening would remain as a serious addition to the inconveniences incurred by its undertaking any which was unfit.
§ 5. But though a better organization of governments would greatly diminish the force of the objection to the mere multiplication of their duties, it would still remain true that in all the more advanced communities, the great majority of things are worse done by the intervention of government, than the individuals most interested in the matter would do them, or cause them to be done, if left to themselves. The grounds of this truth are expressed with tolerable exactness in the popular dictum, that people understand their own business and their own interests better, and care for them more, than the government does, or can be expected to do. This maxim holds true throughout the greatest part of th» business of life, and wherever it is true we ought to condemn every kind of government intervention that conflicts with it. The inferiority of government agency, for example, in any of the common operations of industry or commerce, is proved by the fact, that it is hardly ever able to maintain itself in equal competition with individual agency, where the individuals possess the requisite degree of industrial enterprise, and can command the necessary assemblage of means. All the facilities which a government enjoys of access to information; all the means which it possesses of remunerating, and therefore of commanding, the best available talent in the market—are not an equivalent for the one great disadvantage of an inferior interest in the result.
It must be remembered, besides, that even if a government were superior in intelligence and knowledge to any single individual in the nation, it must be inferior to all the individuals of the nation taken together. It can neither possess in itself, nor enlist in its service, more than a portion of the acquirements and capacities which the country contains, applicable to any given purpose. There must be many persons equally qualified for the work with those whom the government employs, even if it selects its instruments with no reference to any consideration but their fitness. Now these are the very persons into whose hands, in the cases of most common occurrence, a system of individual agency naturally tends to throw the work, because they are capable of doing it better or on cheaper terms than any other persons. So far as this is the case, it is evident that government, by excluding or even by superseding individual agency, either substitutes a less qualified instrumentality for one better qualified, or at any rate substitutes its own mode of accomplishing the work, for all the variety of modes which would be tried by a number of equally qualified persons aiming at tho same end; a competition by many degrees more propitious to the progress of improvement, than any uniformity of system.
§ 6. I have reserved for the last place one of the strongest of the reasons against the extension of government agency. Even if the government could comprehend within itself, in each department, all the most eminent intellectual capacity and active talent of the nation, it would not be the less desirable that the conduct of a large portion of the aflairs of society should be left in the hands of the persons immediately interested in them. The business of life is an essential part of the practical education of a people; without which, book and school instruction, though most necessary and salutary, does not suffice to qualify them for conduct, and for the adaptation of means to ends. Instruction is only one of the desiderata of mental improvement; another, almost as indispensable, is a vigorous exercise of the active energies; labour, contrivance, judgment, self-control: and the natural stimulus to these is the difficulties of life. This doctrine is not to be confounded with the complacent
optimism, which represents the evils of life as desirable things, because they call forth qualities adapted to combat with evils. It is only because the difficulties exist, that the qualities which combat with them are of any value. As practical beings it is our business to free human lite from as many as possible of its difficulties, and not to keep up a stock of them as hunters preserve game, for the exercise of pursuing it. But since the need of active talent and practical judgment in the affairs of life can only be diminished, and not, even on the most favourable supposition, done away with, it is important that those endowments should be cultivated not merely in a select few, but in all, and that the cultivation should be more varied and complete than most persons are able to find in the narrow sphere of their merely individual interests. A people among whom there is no habit of spontaneous action for a collective interest—who look habitually to their government to command or prompt them in all matters of joint concern—who expect to have everything done for them, except what can be made an affair of mere habit and routine—have their faculties only half developed; their education is defective in on* of its most important branches.
Not only is the cultivation of the active faculties by exercise, diffused through the whole community, in itself one of the most valuable of national possessions: it is rendered, not less, but more, necessary, when a high degree of that indispensable culture is systematically kept up in the chiefs and functionaries of the state. There cannot be a combination of circumstances more dangerous to human welfare, than that in which intelligence and talent are maintained at a high standard within a governing corporation, but starved and discouraged outside the pale. Such a system, more completely than any other, embodies the idea of despotism, by arming with intellectual superiority as an additional weapon, those who have already the legal power. It approaches as nearly as the organic difference between human beings and other animals admits, to the government of sheep by their shepherd, without anything like so strong an interest as the shepherd has in the thriving condition of the flock. The only security against political slavery, is the check maintained over governors, by the diffusion of intelligence, activity, and public spirit among the governed. Experience proves the extreme difficulty of permanently keeping up a sufficiently high standard of those qualities; a difficulty which increases, as the advance of 'civilization and security removes one after another of the hardships, embarrassments, and dangers against which individuals had formerly no resource but in their own strength, skill, and courage. It is therefore of supreme importance that all classes of the community, down to the lowest, should have much to do for themselves; that as great a demand should be made upon their intelligence and virtue as it is in any respect equal to; that the government should not only leave as far as possible to their own faculties the conduct of whatever concerns themselves alone, but should suffer them, or rather encourage them, to manage as many as possible of their joint concerns by voluntary co-operation: since this discussion and management of collective interests is the great school of that public spirit, and the great source of that intelligence of public affairs, which are always regarded as the distinctive character of the public of free countries.
A democratic constitution, not supported by democratic institutions in detail, but confined to the central government, not only is not political freedom, but often creates a spirit precisely the Teverse, carrying down to the lowest grade in society the desire and ambition of political domination. In some countries the desire of the people is for not being tyrannized over, but in others it is merely for an equal chance ■o everybody of tyrannizing. Unhappily this last state of the desires is fully as natural to mankind as the former, and in many of the conditions tveu of civilized humanity, is far more
largely exemplified. In proportion as the people are accustomed to manage their affairs by their own active intervention, instead of leaving them to the government, their desires will turn to repelling tyranny, rather than to tyrannizing: while in proportion as all real initiative and direction resides in the government, and individuals habitually feel and act as under its perpetual tutelage, popular institutions develope in them not the desire of freedom, but an unmeasured appetite for place and power; diverting the intelligence and activity of the country from its principal business, to a wretched competition for the selfish prizes and the petty vanities of office.
§ 7. The preceding are the principal reasons, of a general character, in favour of restricting to the narrowest compass the intervention of a public authority in the business of the community: and few will dispute the more than sufficiency of these reasons, to throw, in every instance, the burthen of making out a strong case, not on those who resist, but on those who recommend, government interference. Letting alone, in short, should be the general practice: every departure from it, unless required by some great good, is a certain evil.
The degree in which the maxim, even in the cases to which it is most manifestly applicable, has heretofore been infringed by governments, future ages will probably have difficulty in crediting. Some idea may be formed of it from the description by M. Dunoyer* of the restraints imposed on the operations of manufacture under the old government of France, by the meddling and regulating spirit of legislation.
"The State exercised over manufacturing industry the most unlimited and arbitrary jurisdiction. It disposed without scruple of the resources of manufacturers: it decided who should be allowed to work, what things it should be permitted to make, what materials should be employed, what pro
* On the Liberty of Labour, vol. ii. pp. 353-*.
cesses followed, what forms should be given to productions. It was not enough to do well, to do better; it was necessary to do according to the rules. Everybody knows the regulation of 1670 which prescribed to seize and nail to the pillory, with the names of the makers, goods not conformable to the rules, and which, on a second repetition of tho offence, directed that the manufacturers themselves should be attached also. Not the taste of the consumers, but the commauds of the law must be attended to. Legions of inspectors, commissioners, controllers, jurymen, guardians, were charged with its execution. Machines were broken, products were burned when not conformable to the rules: improvements were punished; inventors were fined. There were different sets of rules for goods destined for home consumption and for those intended for exportation. An artizan could neither choose the place in which to establish himself, nor work at all seasons, nor work for all customers. There exists a decree of March 30, 1700, which limits to eighteen towns the number of places where stockings might be woven. A decree of June 18, 1723, enjoins the manufacturers at Rouen to suspend their works from the 1st of July to the 15th of September, in order to facilitate the harvest. Louis XIV., when he intended to construct the colonnade of the Louvre, forbade all private persons to employ workmen without his permission, under a penalty of 10,000 livres, and forbade workmen to work for private persons, on pain for the first offence, of imprisonment, and for the second, of the galleys."
That these and similar regulations were not a dead letter, and that the officious and vexatious meddling was prolonged down to the French Revolution, we have the testimony of Roland, the Girondist minister.* "I have seen," says he, "eighty, ninety, a hundred pieces of cotton or woollen stuff cut up, and completely destroyed. I have witnessed similar scenes every week for a number of years. I have
• I quote at second hand, from Mr. Carey's on fht Sate tf Waga, pp. 196-6.
seen manufactured goods confiscated; heavy fines laid on the manufacturers; some pieces of fabric were burnt in public places, and at the hours of market: others were fixed to tho pillory, with the name of the manufacturer inscribed upon them, and he himself was threatened with the pillory, in case of a second offence. All this was done under my eyes, at Rouen, in conformity with existing regulations, or ministerial orders. What crime deserved so cruel a punishment? Some defects in the materials employed, or in the texture of the fabric, or even in some of the threads of the warp.
"I have frequently seen manufacturers visited by a band of satellites who put all in confusion in their establishments, spread terror in their families, cut tho stuffs from the frames, tore off the warp from the looms, and carried them away as proofs of infringement; the manufacturers were summoned, tried, and condemned: their goods confiscated; copies of their judgment of confiscation posted up in every public place; fortune, reputation, credit, all was lost and destroyed. And for what offence? Because they had made of worsted, a kind of cloth called shag, such as the English used to manufacture, and even sell in Erance, while the French regulations stated that that kind of cloth should be made with mohair. I have seen other manufacturers treated in the same way, because they had made camlets of a particular width, used in England and Germany, for which there was a great demand from Spain, Portugal, and other countries, and from several parts of France, while the French regulations prescribed other widths for camlets."
The time is gone by, when such applications as these of the principle of "paternal government" would be attempted, in even the least enlightened country of the European commonwealth of nations. In such cases as those cited, all the general objections to government interference are valid, and several of them in nearly their highest degree. But we must now turn to the second part of our task, and direct our attention to cases, in which some of those general objections are altogether absent, while those which can never be got rid of entirely, are overruled by counter-considerations of still greater importance.
We have observed that, as a general rule, the business of life is better performed when those who have an immediate interest in it are left to take their own course, uncontrolled either by the mandate of the law or by the meddling of any public functionary. The persons, or some of the persons, who do the work, are likely to be better judges than the government, of the means of attaining the particular end at which they aim. Were we to suppose, what is not very probable, that the government has possessed itself of the best knowledge which had been acquired up to a given time by the persons most skilled in the occupation; even then, the individual agents have so much stronger and more direct an interest in the result, that the means are far more likely to be improved and perfected if left to their uncontrolled choice. But if the workman is generally the best selector of means, can it be affirmed with the same universality, that the consumer, or person served, is the most competent judge of the end? Is the buyer always qualified to judge of the commodity? If not, the presumption in favour of the competition of the market does not apply to the caso; and if the commodity be one, in the quality of which society has much at stake, the balance of advantages may be in favour of some mode and degree of intervention, by the authorized representatives of the collective interest «£ the state.
i 8. Now, the proposition that the consumer is a competent judge of the commodity, can be admitted only with numerous abatements and exceptions. He is generally the best judge (though even this is not true universally) of the material objects produced for his use. These are destined to supply some physical want, or gratify some taste or inclination, respecting which wants or inclinations there is no appeal from the person who feels them; or they are the
means and appliances of some occupation, for the use of the persons engaged in it, who may be presumed to be judges of the things required in their own habitual employment. But there are other things of the worth of which the demand of the market is by no means a test; things of which the utility does not consist in ministering to inclinations, nor in serving the daily uses of life, and the want of which is least felt where the need is greatest. This is peculiarly true of those things which are chiefly useful as tending to raise the character of human beings. The uncultivated cannot be competent judges of cultivation. Those who most need to be made wiser and better, usually desire it least, and if they desired it, would be incapable of finding the way to it by their own lights. It will oontinually happen, on the voluntary system, that, the end not being desired, the means will not be provided at all, or that, the persons requiring improvement having an imperfect or altogether erroneous conception of what they want, the supply called forth by the demand of the market will be anything but what is really required. Now any well-intentioned and tolerably civilized government may think without presumption that it does or ought to possess a degree of cultivation above the average ot the community which it rules, and that it should therefore be capable of offering better education and better instruction to the people, than the greater number of them would spontaneously demand. Education, therefore, is one of those things which it is admissible in principle that a government should provide for the people. The case is one to which the reasons of the non-interference principle do not necessarily or universally extend.*
* In opposition to these opinions, a writer, with whom on many points I agree, but whose hostility to government intervention seems to me too indiscriminate and unqualified, M. Dunoyer, observes, that instruction, however good in itself, can only be useful to the public in Bo far as they are willing to receive it, and that the best proof that the instruction is suitable to their wants, is its success as a pecuniary enterprise. This argument seems no more con

File Utility
I'm pretty sure I no longer miss Power Desk. The version I have (paid) doesn't work on Vista. Ant Commander does, and at first and cursive glance gets a "wow" out of me. Believe it or not, that's hard to do. It's so powerful it's dangerous. FreeCommander is at least nearly as powerful, much more clumsy and somehow consistently exasperating.
If you regard yourself as anything of a novice, FreeCommander would probably be the better choice. If you delete something with Ant Commander, it's gone. No cool little recycle bin. You can make a new directory quite easily. If you're an experienced user and can think about things before you do them, I'd recommend Ant Commander. "mkdir" back in Windows. My word.
Unbelievably, Freeware! and a browser, to boot.
ArmorSurf has some truly attractive features. It feels more secure than this Firefox NoScript, in that I couldn't even manage to comfortably and easily make a posting here at wordpress. The link is to the download site. This link is to the original description I skimmed (after having been pointed to it by e-mail, that is). If it could be used for an actual "social networking" [I still have reservations about misappropriation of a much broader term] sites, it would be one hell of a lot safer than IE or FF. [FireFox] As is, it will afford an extra level of protection for playables, playable downloads, and the like. Even if I don't need to add the caution yet again, I will; anything that offers animation on the Web is intrinsically dangerous and should be used with great care. If the damn thing tells you that you need to upgrade Flash or Active-X, try to go to the appropriate site to determine if you actually do need an update. If you don't, it's badware; it actually is that simple.
P.S. The paid upgrade will also hide your IP address. You can do that for free. Before you pay for anything on this, make sure you can't get it elsewhere free.
System Audit
No, not talking about finances. We're talking about your computer system, and Belarc Advisor. Why would you use it? Because you need to find out "system specs"; specifications about any or all parts of your system. Including updates. Oddly enough, it's freeware.
About Freeware (Games)
Go here. There are about a hundred games here. Free. From a usually reliable source (anyone's page can get hacked: as of 0445 Pacific 12.13.2008, clean).
A Freeware Download Manager
that works with Firefox. It's reminiscent of GetRight, except it does work with Firefox, which currently is the browser of choice because of the click-jacking bit and the NoScript capability of the aforementioned. NoScript has a fairly steep but short learning curve, at least for me (newbie novice that I am). You'll see–that's the download page referenced by PC World, by the way–that it advertises speeded downloads. That means it will search for alternate download sites and combine. I experimented with it on PalTalkScene, a multi-chat-client program. I recommend DownThemAll (the download manager, not the drunk at the local bar); I have no recommedations one way or the other for any chat client. All of them are essentially and inherently dangerous. Don't accept links, don't even figure that whoever you're chatting with is, well, who you're chatting with, even if they're someone you've known internet-wise for years. If you're internet-wise, that is. It's getting like one of those morphing horror flicks.
I really did lie, didn't I? Just call me Dick (Nixon, not Tracy).
Alternative Browser/Freeware/K-Meleon
K-Meleon is attractive on the surface. Being a binary file, it also runs quickly. The instructions are a bit cryptic; particularly as regards a "master password" that may be asked for. I found it in the process of starting to use the Sun alternative to the Google online document collaboration (I'm not ready to talk about it yet). The advantage to alternative browsers is simple; they're harder to crack because less-documented, and less worth the trouble for people who write badware simply because they are alternative. Get past Express/Outlook Express, Safari, and Firefox, and you're down to perhaps 10% of the Internet population. Cut Opera out of that and you're down to about 2% (recent study, eWeek or PC World).
If you want to talk to me, you'll be more likely to be successful e-mailing me at crawler.com or inbox.com. If you have real problems figuring out what the username is you can ask here. I will give you a hint. At LiveJournal I'm oregonnerd, too. I'm trying out both. Inbox.com is fallout from crawler. Crawler is an alternative search engine as well.
Just as a casual note; I found out that my carefulness truly did pay off. On one of my external drives I have a complete copy of my 64-bit version of XP–backup, that is. Took me forever (one of my dull moments) to figure out WTF the update program was talking about…anyone reading this blog for a while must know I have problems with names. [I wonder why, with my penchant for trying out new programs and reading absolutely outre information. Probably the cap of all that–the outre bit, I mean–was reading "The Writings of Mao Tse Tung" in Radioman "A" school in the Navy. You don't understand why it was odd? that requires a "Secret" clearance. Sure got a lot of strange looks. Sure regretted it about two years later, but that's another story. Knowledge, at least when admitted (when you admit you know something without thinking about it), can be a true handicap, even an enemy.

BreatheAmerica Hosting Open House for Local Leaders, Medical Community
November 1, 2013
El Paso, TX, 10/30/2013 – BreatheAmerica, a growing Nashville-based company that operates airway disease centers for allergy, asthma, and sinus patients, has opened a second El Paso office at 4501 North Mesa. Local leaders and medical community members are invited to visit the new state-of-the-art facility on November 5 from 4:30 – 7:30 pm to learn more about this physician led organization's life-changing approach to respiratory healthcare that is helping people in El Paso and around the country breathe easier.
Studies show 75 million Americans are affected by environmental, drug, food, or skin allergies, asthma, COPD, headache, cough, and other serious respiratory conditions. El Paso residents among that number are likely to experience symptoms caused by the dry desert climate, air pollution, high ragweed pollen count and long list of other irritants.
However, patients nationwide are too often prescribed an ever-changing variety of pills designed only to treat symptoms before first receiving a definitive diagnosis and individual treatment plan that takes a person's total life into consideration.
"BreatheAmerica is dedicated to bringing better healthcare to these suffers," said Dr. Todd Funkhouser, medical director at the new center and long-time El Paso resident who served at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss as chief of Allergy and Immunology. "Often in just one visit, we can explain to you the root cause of your symptoms, provide in-depth education and design a plan that is not only specific to you but also based on the latest medical treatment options and technology."
A staff of clinicians and nurses serves as an ongoing resource to help patients regain control over their symptoms and life, as well as educate the patient and family members in the process. BreatheAmerica utilizes a program that was developed at a leading academic medical center and refined in its centers around the country. The BreatheAmerica team is committed to giving each patient extensive time and attention to thoroughly address their symptoms and to arrive at a diagnosis. The center also collaborates with other primary care providers and specialists to ensure the coordination and integration of care.
"Respiratory patients deserve the very best solution to their symptoms, and that is what we are providing at BreatheAmerica," said Funkhouser. "I look forward to seeing the El Paso community at the event."

I don't mind vulgarity, wrongness, or even the mild ad-homenim…as long as it contributes to the discussion. Should you post a comment here that does not contribute, expect it to be binned or treated as spam — without warning. Be witty, be carefree, be data-driven, be on point, but most of all, write something that will try to convince someone else you're right. The elation of asserting something you feel is self-evident is a joy that falls into despair far too quickly and is too easily dashed by argument and evidence.

The pattern grew plainer. Japan was directing every facet of psychological warfare toward the detachment of India from the United Nations' camp. Since March the Jap has been dangling pseudo-independence before one unit after another in her Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Nanking was first.

ect.org Position Statement
The position of ect.org is very straightforward and, I think, quite clear. Yet it is constantly distorted by the media and by those who use such distortion to further their political agendas.
I'll put it in bullet form to make it e-a-s-y to read. Now there's no excuse for distortion, unless you're just a liar.
Since ect.org is a one-(wo)man show (with a lot of help from my friends!), I'm going to use first person because it's less cumbersome.
* While critical of ECT, the ECT industry, and contemporary practice, I do not seek to ban ECT. I do, however, respect the views and activities of those who pursue that path. I'm a pragmatist, not an idealist.
* I have no desire to stop any individual from having ECT. It's a personal choice and not my desire to interfere. I believe in self determination and free choice, and that extends to ECT.
* I am not antipscyhiatry, though many of my friends are. Many are not. I do not believe all psychiatrists are bad, though when they're bad, they're really, really bad because of the power they possess.
* I am absolutely, 100 percent against forced ECT. There is no excuse for using such an invasive and unreliable treatment against anyone's will.
* I believe in informed consent, and with a few exceptions, that does not occur when one is considering the ECT option.
* The purpose of this website is to provide as much information as possible. What you do with that is your business.
* I am not a Scientologist, this website is not affiliated with Scientology in any way, despite the inaccurate writings of some lazy authors.
* Officially, if you don't like this website…my advice is use your mouse and click on outta here.
In summary for the reading challenged (that might include: LAZY historians who worked at Greenville (Illinois) College, social science professors from the sunflower state, my old friends Harry, Ricky….and Dan Rather – who broke my heart – and friends):
I'm not a Scientologist, I'm not trying to stop anyone's ECT, and I'm against all forced ECT. That's it in a nutshell. Got it?

Nancy B. Detweiler, M.Ed., M.Div.
We have now entered the last quarter of 2012—the year in which Gaia and her inhabitants are divinely scheduled to ascend to higher consciousness. Are we ready?
I opened my The Way of Love Blog for the purpose of assisting in this preparation process. Below are the first two blogs in which I described our predominant level of conscious awareness as it stood in July 2009.
Have we awakened to all the lies we are repeatedly fed? Are we approaching December 2012 with a greater desire to assist in making our world a better place through spreading unconditional love? Have we learned to walk a mile in the other's shoes before judging and condemning them? Do we continue to cling to old ideologies that create separation, not cooperation? Do we still boost our own personality egos by making another group less-than?
The degree to which we have awakened is the degree to which we are prepared to ascend to a higher level of consciousness.
I invite you to read the blogs below and decide for yourselves how prepared you are to ascend.
Posted on July 13, 2009 by Nancy B. Detweiler | Edit
Before we can truly walk the Way of Love, we must awaken to the many lies we have been told by those in power positions. The most devastating of these lies relate to who we are as human beings living on Planet Earth. These lies include the following, but are by no means the extent of the matrix of illusions by which we live.
1. We are separate from God and all of creation. This lie leaves humankind in a very vulnerable position—at the mercy of a God we do not understand and whatever else life throws our way.
2. God rewards and punishes us according to our behavior.
3. We must obey the teachings of our chosen religion in order to gain salvation from a punishing God.
4. We have only one lifetime on Earth. When we leave, it is because God has removed us.
5. Death ends all opportunities to live on Earth and results in our soul being permanently assigned to one of two possible places: heaven or hell.
6. Life on Earth is naturally characterized by the "survival of the fittest."
7. God creates some human beings with mental, physical, and emotional handicaps.
8. We are alone in the vast cosmos. Thus, by inference, life on Earth is the best God could do.
9. Each human being is the result of intercourse between his/her parents—the uniting of the human sperm and egg. Therefore, human beings can be killed.
10. Wars are necessary in order to protect ourselves from our nation's enemies.
11. God takes sides in war. Of course, God always takes the side of those who are right and pray to Him.
12. God is male and resides high in the sky. He is the "man in the sky."
13. God can do anything God chooses.
The above list of lies—only the tip of the iceberg—are among the major factors in the formation of humanity's belief system and therefore, humanity's behavior.
In order to truly walk the Path of Love, we must reconsider each lie and seek the Truth instead. As long as we subscribe to lies, our motives are skewed. A good example is our motivation for "good works." Good works are among the criteria, taught by religions, that help us get into heaven. Therefore, the majority of "good works" are performed with a skewed motive: "I'll be rewarded in heaven." Love based on fulfilling requirements cannot be unconditional love.
I am creating this Path of Love Blog in order to look at the above lies, and more, with the prayer that we may all awaken to the Truth of who we really are … who God is … and our real place within the cosmos.
May we walk together on the Path of Love as we prepare for a glorious emergence into the next World Age, commencing in 2012. We have so little time in which to transform our world into one of Light and Unconditional Love!
Posted on July 14, 2009 by Nancy B. Detweiler | Edit
Earth humans reside in a matrix of lies or, as metaphysicians would say, a world of illusions. Many of the concepts upon which we build our lives are merely illusions, as we can see in my 7/13/09 blog entitled "Oh … The Lies We've Been Told."
How are these lies perpetuated? Do not intelligent people recognize the lie? I'll list a few of the methods used in order to give us an opportunity to awaken to what is really going on around us.
1. Citizens are deliberately "dumbed down" through the use of all major structures within our planetary society. These structures include: schools and universities, religions, political organizations, and a vast array of "store front" agencies that operate in one way overtly and another covertly. Because the leaders of these structures have been "dumbed down" themselves, many have no idea as to the real goals of the work they are performing. A small segment of the world population—the power elite—are in charge of all major decisions throughout the world. The present chaos in our world represents the crumbling of this covert control. Finally, citizens throughout this planet are awakening to how enslaved they have been and are demanding change.
An excellent website for learning the truth is Fred Burk's, a former US State Department language interpreter for high level dignitaries, who resigned his position when the demand for secrecy became too extensive. Many internationally known authorities now assist Fred in his efforts to expose what is really going on in our world. http://www.wanttoknow.info/index.shtml
2. Lies are deliberately created, then proclaimed as truth. For the majority of citizens, repetitious statements of the lie will soon establish it as truth. Many of the debates we hear between authorities through the major news media are based on a lie that has been accepted as truth. A lie can be debated just as easily as the truth. A perfect example of this is that nations must protect themselves against terrorists. It is up to each of us to research on our own, to seek the truth, and make our life decisions on a foundation of truth. "Authorities" may sincerely believe what they are debating because the truth has been withheld from them. We cannot blame them so much as ourselves for not making the effort to learn what is really going on.
3. Citizens are deliberately taught to "remain in the box" of codified thought. Thinking independently results in all types of less-than-pleasant repercussions. As long as we, the citizens of our planet, consent to be docile, to be taught by the authorities, to avoid independent thinking, we can be controlled.
4. Earth humans are deliberately controlled by fear: fear of loss of job, home, position within the community, family, and even life itself. Yet, the only reason we can be controlled by fear is that we believe the lies, we consent to be "dumbed down."
5. The power elite controls the proclamation of truth via ridicule, destroying professional reputations, and a myriad of other methods including death. A perfect example of this is the cover-up of extraterrestrial presence both on and around Earth. We must do our own research on sites such as Dr. Steven Greer's http://www.disclosureproject.org/ and http://www.cseti.org/. View the DVDs from http://www.fastwalkers.com/ and http://www.galacticdiplomacy.com/
A major reason citizens can be "dumbed down" is because we do not assume the responsibility of researching for truth on our own. Once we know that our loving galactic family is here to guide us into ascension to higher consciousness, we will no longer allow the cover-ups.
6. "Dumbing down" is possible because Earth humans do not know who they truly are—child-gods made in the image of our Creator God. Most, if not all of the religions, have failed to teach the truth about who we are. Once more, fear is the controlling factor.
7. An unfailing method of population control is to separate into segments by the use of "issues"—abortion, gay rights, immigration, political parties, religious ideologies, liberal vs conservative … on and on. A divided nation can easily be conquered while the citizens compete and fight among themselves, oblivious to the covert and overt actions of those in power positions.
8. Earth humans have been taught that it is the government's responsibility to protect them. All sorts of lies have been perpetuated on us under the false statements: "for national security" … "in our national interests" … "for our safety" … "to avoid pandemics" … again, on and on.
TRUTH IS: Once we know who we really are, we do not need the protection or help of any outside agent. This is the very reason the truth has been withheld from Earth humans.
9. Lies are easily perpetuated by control of the major media and what they are allowed to report. Citizens are taught to listen to the authorities. As a result, when an individual or group attempts to reveal truth, many will respond with: "What do the authorities say?" In far too many cases, the authorities are involved in the cover-up, if for no other reason than they fear risking their professional credibility. Hence, when the media quotes authorities, the truth is seldom revealed. Truths, such as the presence of extraterrestrials and the spiritual gift of clairvoyance/clairaudience, are ridiculed or represented by using persons/examples who earn our distain by the use they put to their knowledge. Highly credible professionals are not likely to place themselves in a position of being interviewed by a news media that manipulates both the manner of reporting and the truth. ABC's Peter Jennings' program on extraterrestrials was an example of major media "pretense" at investigating and presenting truth.
9. The entertainment media is also controlled by the power elite. Excellent examples of this are the most recent Sunday night mini-series: IMPACT on ABC and METEOR on NBC. Both movies appear to be a convoluted attempt to warn Earth humans of the upheaval within our solar system and galaxy that is scheduled by fractal timing to peak around 2012. Time, as we have heretofore known it, will end on 12/21/2012. This end to a World Age will arrive either as vast destruction on the planet (as the previous World Ages have ended) OR as humanity ascending into higher consciousness and the creation of a New Earth & a New Heaven. Earth humans control the outcome by the level of higher consciousness we can achieve between now and 2012.
The movies make no mention of these two probabilities. Instead, they focus on a solution of using nuclear weapons in space. Our governments are depicted as totally unprepared to deal with such a time … except by resorting to our armies and nuclear weapons. The people have NO warning and therefore must be controlled by the Armed Forces. A formula for martial law emerges.
In my view, the movies are attempting to convince Earth humans of the following:
a) We are dependent upon the Armed Forces to protect us and save us from a destruction of cataclysmic proportions arriving from the solar system/galaxy.
b) Nuclear weapons are our only hope of planetary survival within a solar/galaxy system gone awry.
c) The governments know nothing of impending disaster and react only as the events within the solar/galaxy system are climaxing.
d) Governments will do their best to protect us and our planet.
e) In return, Earth humans will respond to the governments' efforts with great appreciation and pledge to continue supporting expansion of nuclear weapons into space. "Dumbed down" citizens will fail to recognize the governments' cover-ups and allow them to proceed as before.
f) The movies climax with an intended message: "With such late notice of approaching destruction, our governments did the best they could."
THE TRUTH: The sooner Earth humans awaken to the need to lift our conscious awareness to higher dimensions, the sooner lies can no longer be perpetuated among us. The matrix of lies in which we live contains no lasting solutions. Like attracts like: lies attract more lies … perhaps re-formulated, but still lies.
THE TRUTH: Earth humans will save this planet only by ascending to a level of unconditional love for all humanity and achieving a lasting world peace.
OUR CHOICE: We can choose: 1. Allow ourselves to be led blindly into a destructive end to the present World Age in 2012 … OR … 2. Assume responsibility for seeking Truth on our own and lifting our consciousness to a much higher level where only Light and Love exist, where no living being suffers.
IT IS TIME to attune to our true identities as child-gods with all the inner spiritual power we need to assist in bringing forth "Heaven on Earth." We need not depend on those who lie to us, who hide Truth from us, who ridicule the idea of a better Earth brought about by love and world peace—rather than control by fear.
We, as Earth humans, are perfectly capable of seeking and finding Truth on our own and of implementing that Truth into our lives. We can allow the old ways to pass away and the new, far better, to emerge as Heaven on Earth.
Hand in hand, we can walk The Path Of Love!

A: While biking to work is great exercise and is good for the environment, you should not start biking to work without considering a number of things.
A: It is important to understand your child's riding ability. If you have children under the age of 10, you should consider riding on sidewalks or bike trails. Even when you are riding on sidewalks, you always need to be on the lookout for cars. People may be entering or exiting their driveways forgetting to look for pedestrians; especially if their neighborhood is not active with young children or adults who enjoy walking.
As children gain more experience riding their bike, look for rural roads or quiet subdivisions to ride. When riding in the road, it is important to obey all traffic laws, such as stopping at stop signs, riding single file, and riding with the flow of traffic. While it is okay for pedestrians to walk against traffic, bicyclists should not.
Understanding the rules of the road will make your ride safer and more enjoyable. All 50 states have laws that give bikes the right to ride in the road. You do not need to ride in the gravel or right next to the curb. Bicyclists should ride at a safe distance to the right of the lane. Vehicles are to give you three feet of space as they pass by.
Lastly, if your children are riding on training wheels make sure they are suitable for the riding you do. If your child likes to ride a lot, consider upgrading their training wheels. Wheels that come with the bike are not always made to handle longer rides or more hours on the bike. Visit your local bike store to learn more.
A: It is important to understand the type of event you are registering for. Some events are family friendly and some are race orientated.
If you enter your family in an event, make sure each family member is an experienced bicyclist. You should not enter an event if the ride is too long or if a family member cannot remain focused. Roads in an event are not necessarily closed and do allow vehicle traffic. In addition, there are other bicyclists to watch out for.
If you are going to participate in a race or long ride, training is important. Follow training schedules and experiment with hydration and food items that will give you energy during your training. For example, if you eat a protein bar on your practice rides, eat one on race day. You never want to introduce or take something away on race day. It is important to remain consistent and do what you did during your training.
A: A properly fitted bike helmet should fit like a baseball hat. It should wrap around the crown of your head and it should be flat. If the helmet is too far back on your head, there will be no protection for your forehead. The visor of the helmet should be one or two fingers above your eyebrows.
If the helmet is fitted properly, the straps under your chin don't need to be overly tight. The function of the straps are to keep the helmet on your head if it hits the road. A poorly fitted helmet will not offer the appropriate amount of protection a bicyclist needs.
Lastly, if you buy your helmet from a bike store, it will usually have a born on date. The born on date is very important because as a helmet ages, the material used to soften the blow to the head becomes more rigid and brittle. Therefore, helmets should be replaced every five to seven years.

Our Customer Feedback


text:
The following were four questions posed by a potential Stockist interested in our product. I thought some of you might appreciate this information too:
Q1: How did you overcome the usual changes to the windlass mechanism in gait synonymous with the use of flip-flops?
We have three particular aspects to maintain normal function of the windlass mechanism in comparison to standard thongs: 1) the strap configuration 2) the orthotic contour and 3) the neuromuscular response to our bilaminated construction.
1) Our straps are tighter with a different configuration to avoid toe grabbing. Toe grabbing would counteract the windlass mechanism. (Note: some people will need to get used to the tighter strap)
2) The inbuilt orthotic contour helps maintain better biomechanics, leading into normal windlass response on push off.
3) The increased neuromuscular activation by equilibras™ adds to normal function and natural support during gait facilitating a proper windlass response. In addition, being an open shoe with a flexible sole, there is always adequate toe dorsiflexion available for proper windlass as opposed to hard sole footwear.
Q2: If the footwear has a high shock absorption level, how is the ability to feel the ground (proprioception) increased given the surface will be exactly the same on each strike of the ground?
Shock absorption is where this invention really comes into it's own: simplified there are two types of direct shock absorption in the foot: 1) vertical and 2) horizontal (I like to call it dispersive). The vertical shock absorption is the one where we have been running into problems in our modern urban environment with soft soles and proprioceptive distortion/deprivation. This has lead to heel strike when planting the foot, it exaggerates rear foot distortion and increases injuries during gait. It is not the fact that a surface is consistent that creates these problems with proprioception when striking the ground, but rather the softness of the sole, which robs the nervous system of knowing, exactly where the ground is. It will therefore strike harder in order to get that feedback, thus increasing heel strike and consequently injury rates. The surface consistency however, will affect proprioceptive input through its lack of novelty and as a result affect proprioceptive afferentiation in the neo-cortex and thus lead to poor brain mapping amongst other things. equilibras™ through its bilaminated construction appears novel to the nervous system with each step over and over again, even though the underlying contour doesn't change (This is one of the gems that took the Japanese Government's neurologists a year to figure out!!) It is now becoming clear from various research papers that horizontal shock absorption, which essentially means absorption along the arches as naturally intended, is correlated with reduced injuries. You'll find on wearing equilibras™ that they feel firmer than standard thongs. They do incorporate both types of shock absorption in a configuration mimicking natural surfaces. As a result, the nervous system recognises this aspect as normal and can deal with it accordingly.
Q3: How would this form of footwear differ from placing a custom made, flexible orthotic on a standard flip-flop?
The difference between a custom made orthotic thong and equilibras™ is that firstly our product is much cheaper than the custom made products you are mentioning. We also found that the majority of people rate our product much more aesthetically pleasing as it is modelled in looks on the "ever green" flat-sole beach thong. Also if you compare the literature on custom made vs generic orthotic supports there is basically no difference in performance except, due to manufacture reasons, custom made is much more pricy. Further a generic product is more versatile in its applications. And last but not least, our design is unique and patented. It is also TGA registered as a class 1 medical device and has more features than most other comparable devices.
Q4: Are you suggesting that these will improve foot function over time or merely support it?
Obviously we have not been around long enough to make longitudinal claims regarding foot improvements by equilibras™, but we have repeatedly shown significant consistent and immediate functional improvements in our research. I have been discussing the principles and the make up of equilibras™ for countless hours with specialists and neurologists and have had consensus and good support by them for my claims. If you consider the neurological ramifications and the fact that in simple terms equilibras™ mimic natural surfaces, it is very likely that they will improve and maintain foot health also in the long run, thus combatting the steady decline we experience these days from constant flat hard surfaces. If that message makes sense it really flows from there that everyone in our urban environment should wear some sort of foot bed with the novel features of equilibras™!!

Microsoft has made sure that all the updates pertain to Windows 10 remain mandatory to download for each of its users. Behind this motive, Microsoft wants each system which is equipped with its new OS version to remain up to date always. The motive may be good, but sometimes it doesn't work on the ground and we have found many issues with many users after they get the latest updates from Microsoft. These problems could be related to apps crashing down or webcams not working fine, driver issue or system gets frozen and much more.
These are just a few problems we have mentioned, but there may be few more which haven't been heard the most. Sometimes there is no issue once the update is done, but when that update has been installed the system starts to panic. We have found out three ways to solve this issue so that you can run your Windows 10 smoothly. (You may also check out Best Tips to Free Up Hard Drive Space on Your Windows 10) These solutions are uninstalling an update, reinstalling an update and stop specific updates. We will take up all the 3 the solutions one after the other.
How to Uninstall and Reinstall Updates on Windows 10
Solution #1: How to Uninstall an Update on Windows 10
Step #1. Open Settings.
Step #2. Click on Update & Security.
Step #3. Click on Windows Update.
Step #4. Go to Update History link and click on it.
Step #5. Over here you will find which updates are being installed successfully and which are not along with a timestamp. So now click on the Uninstall updates link.
Step #6. Even in Microsoft 10, the un-installation of an update has remained in Settings app only so you will be directly taken to the Uninstall an update page on your Control Panel, select the update and click on the Uninstall button.
Step #7. Click on Yes, so that update gets uninstalled.
Step #8. Click on Restart Now to reboot and apply the task.
Note: The reboot process may take some time because it depends on the type of the update you have uninstalled.
Solution #2: How to Reinstall an Update on Windows 10
Step #1. Go to Settings.
Step #2. Click on Update & security.
Step #3. Click on Windows Update.
Step #4. To trigger an update check to reinstall the update automatically; click on Check for Updates.
Step #5. Click on Restart Now button to finish the task or reinstalling the update.
Solution #3: Prevent Specific Updates
Since the updates are made mandatory you cannot stop the updates from downloading and installing just like you used to do in the previous versions of Windows. So, even after reinstalling the update, the update is still causing you a problem and two, then it is better to hide that update for the time being. Here is how you can do that.
Step #1. Uninstall that update which is causing you the problem by following the steps we have given above.
Step #2. Download the Show or hide updates troubleshooter from Microsoft support.
Step #3. Double click on the .diagcab file to launch this tool.
Step #4. Click on Next.
Step #5. Click on Hide updates to continue.
Step #6. This tool will automatically check which app you have not installed in your PC online. Once it shares you the list you can check the box next to the update which is creating a problem for you and then click Next.
Step #7. Click on Close to complete the task.
Note: If you want to unhide the update you have hidden after sometimes then you need to follow the same instructions give above, but in Step #5 you need to click on Show hidden updates option, that's it.
So this is how you can prevent the problems created by an automatic and mandatory update by Microsoft on your Windows 10 enabled system. If you have found out this article helpful, then do let us know here in the comments of on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.

Okay, now all you girls, it's time to go shopping, because this movie is just for the guys. Men, send the little lady out, call your poker buddies, pop lots of popcorn, grab an adult beverage, and settle down for a real man's movie. Sure, there are a couple of dames in this one, but it's mano-a-mano as these two men fight each other, the WWII enemies, and battle for the love of a woman. No tissues needed for this drama, just some real, honest-to-goodness men.
As our movie opens, we are at war, and the planes are flying in pursuit of the enemy. When one plane comes back late and damaged, we get to go bedside with one of the surviving gunners and learn the story of two men at war . . . with each other, as well as with the enemy. But to understand the dynamic between these two men, we must go back a bit to Coney Island, where we find Foxy and a pretty blonde at a shooting gallery. Foxy is trying to teach the blonde to shoot, and trying to make a pass at her. Jon approaches, and the hostility factor rises through the roof. Jon is a straight arrow, and Foxy's dad has always been on the wrong side of the law. Foxy grew up on the rough side of town, where no one got an even break, and he grew up tough as nails, ready to fight anyone, anywhere. Jon had it a little better, and even though they were never 'friends,' Jon would like to have a truce between them, as he has enlisted in the Air Force to join the fight against our WWII enemies. Foxy calls him a dope for joining, and we leave them.
Later, we discover that Foxy has been drafted, and when Jon joins the gunnery training outfit, he discovers that Foxy is his superior. How the tables have turned! Now Foxy is not the hunted, but the hunter. Foxy tells Jon that whatever it takes, he is going to wash Jon out of the service, and have fun doing it. We follow them through training, and at the end of training we will meet a young Robert Mitchum in his fourth movie bit part, before he becomes a leading man in the movies. But I digress . . .
These two men, Jon and Foxy, both try to get the same girl, both try to be the best machine gunners in the Air Force, and both try to get the enemy more than the other. With the rousing military music, the rat-a-tat-tat of the machine guns and the roar of the planes, by the end of the movie you will be ready to go to the nearest recruiting office and sign up, convinced that you are also just as manly as Jon and Foxy. And I'm confident that when this movie hit the box office in 1943 that a lot of good men did just that.

As someone who needs to wear mascara no matter what, otherwise my eyes look like dots, I often find myself asking people what mascara they're wearing, especially when they've mahoosive lashes.
Chloe, the PR for Origins has quite possibly the longest lashes I've ever seen on a human being and more often than not, I find myself talking to her lashes instead of to her. I think she finally realised that I'm a big eyelash watching weirdo after meeting her last month and she sent me the mascara she uses, Origins GinZing Brightening mascara.
The wand is huge. Massive. Biggest wand I've ever let near my eyeball.
The formula is one of the Goldilocks variety, not too wet and not too dry, but because the brush is so humungous, it picks up a lot of product, so I generally have to scrape the top off a little bit. The brush combs through my lashes easily, giving lift and separation.
Now, GinZing gives me fantastic length, one of the biggest things for me when it comes to mascara. It doesn't give masses of volume compared to other mascaras but as it's not promising to give lots of volume, I ain't mad at it. Lift and curl generally comes second in terms of importance and with this mascara, I get those in equal measures too.
It's one of those mascaras that make my lashes so lifty and curly that they hit off my upper eyelid and leave weeny dots of product. Listen girlfriend, I'll completely overlook having to get rid of those weeny dots if it gives me killer lashes and it does. Ok, maybe not killer. Nobody is going to die because of my lashes, but you get what I mean. A quick tip for that is to let it completely dry and then it'll flake right off with a cotton bud.
The only downside is because the brush is so big, I can't do my lower lashes without making a mess. Things like that don't bother me when I'm doing a darker eye and I've shadow under the lower lashes, but for days where I only have time for mascara on my eyes, it can look like I've done it in the car on the way to work. If I'm careful, I can apply it without much of a mess and it's not enough of an issue to stop me from using it. I don't know if it brightens my eyeballs so I can't comment on the brightening aspect of it, but I do know that one coat gives me delicious lashes and two coats gives me proper going out at night lashes. You mascara fiends know what I mean.
Also while we're on the mahoosive brush, because I have to scrape the product off the brush before applying it to the lashes, no two days are the same lash-wise. I had an amazing day last week where I applied one coat and it was perfect, then added a second coat to the outer corners and it was lash perfection. On other days I can have just nice lashes, it's all the luck of the draw, but I'm working on a system that I can use every day and will keep you posted. The joys of being a mascara monster eh?
The Origins GinZing Brightening mascara is €21.50 and is available on Origins counters now. If you're looking for a blacker than black mascara, that doesn't make your lashes feel crispy or look clumpy and are well able to handle a big wand near your eyeball, then definitely check this one out.
