LGBT Survey Sends a Message: Pay Attention to This Market
Tourism spend by the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) market will exceed $200 billion by 2014. That's the eye-popping figure released earlier this month at World Travel Market in London.The data comes from the new LGBT2020 survey conducted by the travel trade association Out Now Business Class (ONBC). An affiliate of the global marketing firm Out Now Global, ONBC's 2,300 members include hotels, brand managers and other decision makers involved in LGBT tourism. Figures tell the story"Travel agents will find the research trends significant in a number of ways," Out Now Global CEO Ian Johnson told Travel Market Report.For one thing, the sheer numbers in the LGBT2020 findings show that the market has outgrown its designation as a mere niche, Johnson said. With an annual spend of $56.5 billion, the U.S. is the largest source of LGBT tourism dollars. That's a market agents can't afford to ignore, Johnson said.The LGBT market is also growing."The terrific thing about tourism is that there are always new travelers," Johnson said. "People are more and more comfortable about being out. They feel safer being out."Destinations and interestsJohnson noted new trends in destinations that appeal to LGBT travelers."The first wave of consumers has now passed through the expected destinations. They're done and dusted. The LGBT consumer has been there, done that and bought the T-shirt," said Johnson.By "expected destinations," Johnson meant cities like Berlin, New York, San Francisco, Sydney and London.A growing trend now is travel to a second wave of smaller, more unexpected LGBT destinations, including Stockholm, Helsinki, Manchester, England, and Australia's Gold Coast. Genre travelThe LGBT2020 data also honed in on specific types of travel."In terms of leisure activities, dining and gastronomy are very big in this market," said Johnson. Interest in adventure travel and honeymoon travel is also rapidly increasing, he added. "More and more states are allowing gay marriage," said Johnson. "Couples are deciding where to marry and also where to honeymoon."A big trend we see is that people are choosing places where equality is part of the local landscape. Seventy-three percent in our study responded that they are either greatly or moderately influenced by how the locals are treated."Booking preferences In its look at booking preferences, LGBT2020 found that price comparison websites such as kayak.com are most popular for booking hotels and airlines. Direct bookings with hotel or airline websites were a second-ranked choice.But there's good news for agents as well."We found that a significant portion of the market prefers to use travel agents. Opportunities are there," said Johnson. Agents can tap into those opportunities through social media platforms and other marketing programs that target LGBT clients, Johnson advised.Tourism boards, hotels and destinations are already doing that, he added.In fact, a number of global tourism entities announced new initiatives directed at the LGBT community at World Travel Market.Among them are the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitor Bureau and the Mexico Tourism Board. The latter's #MexicoFriendly LGBT marketing campaign resulted in expanded programs designed to engage the LGBT community in 2014. Reaching the market Out Now Business Class offers training, education and networking to suppliers and destinations who want to target LGBT travelers. Courtesy, sensitivity and professional customer service are crucial, as they are for any market."Our trends research shows that one of the simplest commodities is the most important to the LGBT traveler: respect," Johnson said."The number one concern people cite when planning a trip is, will they feel welcomed? That's an important thing for agents to know."
We found that a significant portion of the market prefers to use travel agents. Opportunities are there.Ian Johnson, Out Now Global
The Out Now Business Class (ONBC) offers its certification course free to travel agents. Agents who complete the course can display the ONBC logo. They will also be listed on the group's new consumer portal, www.OutNow.travel.To register go to http://www.outnowbusinessclass.com/.

Moms do need to have their fun sometimes too and it sounds like yours was having lots.

Those Moms really can be pretty silly sometimes, Isabella. But we think it is all because they love us so much.

The nerve! Disturbing your time in the sun puddle!
Stormy told me that great brother Booter locked Mom out of one house they lived in - and locked Dad out of another. Ha roo, was he one smart guy! Mom scaled a fence and got in the back door - but when Boots locked Dad out at Ft. Riley, Mom was in Virginia and Dad had to call the military police to let him in. Ha roo roo roo!!!
Play bows,

Ardent Industries, the crazy people behind such large art installations as Dance Dance Immolation and SYZYGRYD, are building a giant 3D Mario cloud stuck to the top of a forklift so they can rain on people's parades. Their Kickstarter is fully funded and they're starting production and getting their forklift licenses! Rad!
Bureau of Land Management increases population cap for Burning Man —M Otis Beard sez, "Today the Bureau of Land Management issued a multi-year permit good through 2016 for Burning Man, increasing the population cap to 68,000." This is a big deal -- in recent years, there's been a mad scramble for tickets as it appeared that the number of would-be attendees would outstrip the BLM cap. It all ended up coming to naught, but the writing is on the wall: Burning Man is growing beyond the BLM's (old) max size. — Cory • 4
Building a 15-foot-tall brain-controlled brain for Burning Man and beyond
My cousin Katherine Leipper is part of a crew that's building a 15-foot-tall head and brain with interactive light and flame effects that will be controlled by a participant's brain waves.
Yup. Weirdness runs in our family.
She and her co-makers will take it to Burning Man, but the bigger plan is to take it around to schools after the festival, "to get kids excited about science, technology and fabrication."
Katherine and her brain-building buddies have a crowdsourcing campaign under way. They're well on their way, but if you love 15-foot-tall brain-controlled brains like I love 15-foot-tall brain-controlled brains, and you think America's children need more 15-foot-tall brain-controlled brains in their classrooms because SCIENCE, you should kick in a little to ensure this weird dream comes true.
Katherine explains the wild idea to Boing Boing, below: Read the rest

Blinkytape: kickstarting a smart strip of LEDs
Todd sez, "Check out this awesome LED strip lights controlled by a simple controller board. Matt Mets went through the Haxlr8r program and came out with this project, with the help of Marty McGuire and Max Henstell. Just a few days left to get in on it."
BlinkyTape is a one meter long, full-color light tape with 60 independent RGB LEDs controlled by our custom light processor. Power and communications are provided by a built-in micro-USB connector. An on-board button allows for simple interactions such as choosing between effects.
BlinkyTape is flexible, so you can easily integrate it into any shape your project needs. BlinkyTape also comes enclosed in weatherproof silicone, so it's suitable for outdoor use!
It's $50 minimum pledge for a meter of the tape (as with all Kickstarters: caveat emptor, you may get nothing).
BlinkyTape: The LED Strip Reinvented (Thanks, Todd)
HOWTO die at Burning Man —M Otis Beard sez, "You don't often hear about the deaths that happen at Burning Man. Here is an overview that just might save your life." Be that as it may, Black Rock City has extraordinarily low mortality compared to comparably populated/sized areas in the USA. — Cory
Nevada bans counties from gouging Burning Man —M Otis Beard sez, "The Nevada State Assembly has passed a bill that forbids the counties from charging permit fees to Burning Man and other festivals. . . but has anything really changed?" — Cory
Nevada State Legislature poised to take regulation of Burning Man away from state and local cops
M Otis Beard sez, "A bill gaining support in the Nevada State Assembly would make Burning Man hands-off for state and county law enforcement officials, and subject only to Federal authority."
Each year, the local sheriff has been jacking Burning Man for increasing per-head fees, and the county's conservative lawmakers have been passing silly-season unconstitutionalities, like a law prohibiting a man from being naked in the presence of a child. It's combination of revenue generation and garden-variety harassment, and there had been rumbles about the festival taking up local native groups on an invitation to move it to Paiute land where the county wouldn't get a say.
"Earlier this morning, the Chamber supported AB 374 in the Assembly Government Affairs Committee. This bill, pushed by Assemblyman David Bobzien, came about because of threats by some rural counties to start charging local permitting fees and increasing costs for the Burning Man festival that comes to the Black Rock Desert every summer. This bill would prohibit any local government from interfering with a federally-licensed event on federal land. We strongly support this concept because of the enormous positive economic impact that Burning Man attendees have on our region."
Some of the problem stems from the fact that Burning Man is held just over a county line; all the on-the-way spending done by burners takes place in Washoe county, but once you turn off to head to the playa, you're in Pershing county, and that's also when the ban on (most) commerce begins. So the county doing the legislating has no real financial stake in the festival continuing. So the local law gets to screw the neighboring county, threatening its one of its major source of economic activity and win points with the voters by harassing hippies.

Electroluminescent paint: like EL wire you apply with a brush
A company called Lumilor has announced a permanent electroluminescent paint that can be selectively illuminated by applying a charge to it. Burning Man attendees are already familiar with the ubiquitous, cheap EL wire, but this takes things to a new level:
The LumiLor TM electroluminescent coating system is a patent-pending, practical, durable and affordable technology that can be illuminated with a simple electrical current.
Used in conjunction with simple driver electronics, LumiLor will illuminate any surface brightly, and is capable of being custom-animated to flash in sequenced, strobed, and sound activated modes.
The potential for customization is practically limitless!

Beautiful, cleverly fastened wooden sculptures from the architect for this year's Burning Man temple
M. Otis Beard writes, "Gregg Fleishman, the architect whose team was awarded the honorarium grant to build the Temple for Burning Man 2013 today, makes insane sculpture, furniture, toy cars, etc. out of single pieces of flat plywood, with no metal fasteners, joints, nails, or screws. Some of his pieces even incorporate wooden hinges and springs."
The 2013 Temple design is highly geometrical, and will be built using Fleishman's patented connectors at each joint, capitalizing on the intrinsic strength of the arch at every opportunity in an interlocking jigsaw of triangles and pyramids. No nails, screws, or other metal connectors will be used at all. The gross form of the Temple will consist of a large central trussed pyramid, sixty-four feet tall and eighty-seven feet square, with four smaller satellite pyramids measuring twenty feet tall and twenty-nine feet at the base, intricately interlocked and ornamented in Fleishman's signature style: Archimedes, Pythagoras, and R. Buckminster Fuller holding hands and enjoying some really good acid.
Temple Builders Revealed! (Thanks, M. Otis!)
Maria Del Camino: an art-car that's part tank, part El Camino
Wired Design has a great short video documentary on my friend Bruce Tomb, who has built an amazing art-car called Maria Del Camino that's part tank, part 59 El Camino, part flying car. I camp with Bruce and his wife Mary and our friends at Burning Man, along with Maria, at the Liminal Labs camp every summer. Maria is such a wonderful addition to our Burn!
The outcome might not be what you'd expect. With the help of some friends, Tomb created "Maria del Camino." She's an excavator topped with a 1959 El Camino, mounted on a hydraulic array that lifts it high off the ground. Her body is adorned with thousands of drilled-out holes, and her hood sports a portrait of the robot woman from Fritz Lang's Metropolis, which shines when the light hits it. In simple terms, it's nothing but sheer magnificence.
Maria is currently being worked on at the DIY space Nimby in Oakland California. We stopped by to ask Tomb how — and why — he built his "flying" car, and he took us for a beer run, stopping traffic along the way.
As for future modifications, Tomb has a big one in mind. "Been working on removing the manual controls," he says. "I've heard driverless cars are all the rage!"
This Homemade 'Flying Car' Can't Exactly Fly, But It Still Turns Heads [Annaliza Savage/Wired]
Pyrobar: flaming, booze-dispensing art-car seeks Kickstarter funds for refurb
The Pyrobar, a roving, flaming, booze-dispensing art-car that's a staple of Burning Man, is nearing the end of its Kickstarter, and needs to raise another $4,000 or so in maintenance funds to help refurbish and improve it for this summer's festivities:
The Pyrobar started its charmed life in 2004 with a collective of artists called Clan Destino. This raucous Santa Barbara based performance group had built a few art cars for the famed Burning Man festival, with this one being built under the namesake to be the grandest and last under their tutelage. In this vision, they took a 1975 chevy RV and ripped it up and warped into a roving box of splendid adult entertainment. After a few strong years of providing to the Playa and beyond, this trusty steed was left in a lonely, Reno storage lot, waiting for its next life. That day came in 2010 when its current owners, Mark and Corinna, heard the calling from afar, and acted on on it immediately. Pyrobar's next phase took it to a new aesthetic height and direction, reflecting the mystic and wacky stylings of an Afghani jingle truck with a constantly growing degree of detail and offerings.

Maria Del Camino, a mutant excavator mated to a 59 El Camino, with the face of Maria from Metropolis
Maria Del Camino is Bruce Tomb's magnificent mutant vehicle. It started out life as the body of a '59 El Camino, and was then riddled with thousands of hand-drilled holes, turning it into a meshwork. On the hood, the holes form a pointillist portrait of Maria from Fritz Lang's Metropolis. The whole thing was then mounted on an armature supported by a hydraulic tracked excavator, giving it the ability to rumble along at an angle, or poised many feet above the tank-treads, or vertically.
Bruce is one of my Burning Man campmates at Liminal Labs, and he brought Maria out again this year, and took her out early in the morning to the deep playa -- the area of the desert well away from the main action -- and used a GPS and the excavator blade to carve and burnish a huge piece of vector art out of the desert surface, with the intention of having it captured by the Google satellite flyover. He plans to make this process fully automated in future years, giving Maria the ability to turn herself into a giant, diesel-powered mutated Etch-a-Sketch.
Bruce has just updated Maria's blog with some beautiful photos and videos from this year's burn, and a report from the burnishing experiment:
The maximum deviation of the GPS unit is stated as 33 feet and can be as accurate as 3 feet. The graphic deviation showing in this satellite photo, is purely me following instructions from the device, setting aside my perceptions and judgement. This makes evident that there are greater inaccuracies than stated, and illustrates the inherent paradox of this civilian down market version of an ultra precise technology developed by and for the military. I would be wary of relying on this particular device alone to keep a boat off the rocks.
The western edge of the drawing is on hard playa almost like asphalt, so the line is very shallow. Here, Maria's blade mostly burnished the playa. The east west lines were especially dramatic and reflected the lavender light of the sunrise. Photos by Anne Klint will be posted soon to show this, but here with this photo, the lines are virtually illegible. The strongest track is the north/south line on the eastern edge of the square. This was due to both the conditions of the playa and the GPS signal/device. The playa in this area was covered with drifts of dust, 6" deep or more, not unlike snow drifts, very soft, and difficult to traverse, even with Maria's 18" wide rubber tracks. While driving this particular track the signals were quite different than all the rest, perhaps a product of a slower speed. If the resolution of this image were higher, you would see a very tight, regular, serpentine or sinusoidal line with an amplitude of about 15-20 feet and a period of about 50 feet. The noodles at the corners are me following directions from the device to land on a precise waypoint. As I approached a corner, I would slow down and make minor adjustments as needed, inching along to left, to right, back again, then sitting there for about 15 minutes to let the signal settle down to 0 degrees of travel angle and 0 feet distance from my destination.
Maria Del Camino (Thanks, Bruce!)

Burning Man's Temple of Remembrance
Ian Alexander Norman contributed his long-exposure pic of this year's Temple of Remembrance at Burning Man to the Boing Boing Flickr pool. The Temple is a huge, ornate structure that burners fill up with their regrets, grief, memorials and testaments to their dead, their lost, and their sorrows. Last Sunday night, we burned the Temple in near silence (one jackass in an art car broke up the silence by repeatedly blasting Freebird), and watched the sorrows go up in flame. I wrote a remembrance there for my good friend Possum Man, and it was cathartic to see it all burn, surrounded by tens of thousands of other people watching their own fires.
Update: Xeno Evil sez, "I just wanted to say that the rendition of Freebird that you heard was not a jackass. It was a tribute to a dear friend and solid DPW member who used to always play the song before he was killed a couple months ago in Austin. His name was Joey Jello and he was an exemplary human being, he actually made most of DPW take stock and try to be better people. He had 'Never Betray' tattooed on his neck backwards so that whenever he looked in the mirror, he'd be reminded of his commitment to live by his moral standards. When we play freebird (and I, personally, HATE the song) it's not to bother other people, it's to remind us to be better people because Joey was better than all of us, he was amazing, weird and great. His absence has left a void of awesome that all of us in DPW feel needs to be filled. Working DPW is weird and hard and it takes a certain punk rock lifestyle... it takes its toll and we all die a little too soon. Joey's not the first of us to die, but I'd like you to know why Freebird was playing,
Two fun little videos from Burning Man
Comedian, video curator, and filmmaker Mark Day of YouTube went to Burning Man this year on a last-minute whim, and shot some neat video vignettes:

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
FOR EDIT: COLOMBIA - Bogota VBIED - 500 words
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT
|2010-08-12 16:50:50
A vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) detonated outside an
office building located in on 67th street in the Granada neighborhood of
Bogota, Colombia housing Caracol Radio and EFE news agency at
approximately 5:30 a.m local time. August 12 injuring four people. The
blast significantly damaged the fac,ade of the building and reportedly
caused the 7th floor the 12 story building to collapse. The timing and
targets of this attack indicate that mass civilian casualties were not the
intended outcome, but rather to serve as possible propaganda for a
guerrilla or criminal organization and to garner press attention to their
cause or operations.
The VBIED was parked near the center of the front of the building near the
entrance of what appears to be a parking garage and was remote control
activated at aproximately 5:30 a.m. local time. The 12 story office
building had nearly all of its windows blown in by the blast, with
significant interior damage to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors. Colombian law
enforcement authorities were able to recover parts of the engine block and
license plate from a 1994 Chevrolet Swift that is suspected of used as the
VBIED. Additionally, the commandant of the Bogota Metropolitan Police
stated that 50 kilograms of the high explosive compound known as ANFO or a
mixture of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil. Photographic evidence and
damage to the building fall inline with the description of the amount and
type of explosives reportedly used in the VBIED attack.
The early morning timing of the attack indicates that mass civilian
casualties were not the objective of this attack. Also, an attack the two
major Colombian press outlets that operate out of this building would be
sure to garner large amounts of press attention, not only from them but
their competitors as well. These two factor likely indicate that this
VBIED attack will likely serve as propaganda for a guerrilla or criminal
organization. There have also been several media reports that Caracol
morning radio host Dario Arizmend, who was had just gone on air as the
VBIED detonated, had received threat recently. However, the timing and
manner in which the VBIED was deployed indicates that Arizmend was not the
target of this attack, not to mention that the amount of resources and
technical expertise involved in making a VBIED are generally not employed
in this manner to kill just one person.
Colombian authorities have not yet indicated who they suspect to be behind
this VBIED attack, though the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia
(FARC) have been known to employ this tactic in the heart of the Colombian
capitol before. Additionally, Colombian forces have been on the offensive
against both the FARC and newer criminal elements known collectively as
bandas criminals (BACRIMS) and have scored some major victories against
both of these entities. The FARC and the BACRIMS both have the knowledge
and capability to construct this type of device, and both have recently
experience organizational set backs due to Colombian government offensive.
This attack could very well serve as a warning to back off or face a
similar attack that could inflict more civilian casualties.

House approves war-funding bill…Senate follows suit
***bumped and update: Senate approves the bill…"The Senate vote to send the legislation to the president was 80-14."***
Oh, the nutroots are as unhappy with the White Flag Dems right now as grass-roots conservatives are with the Amnesty Republicans:
Bowing to President Bush, the Democratic-controlled House reluctantly approved fresh billions for the Iraq war on Thursday, minus the troop withdrawal timeline that drew his earlier veto. The 280-142 vote sent the bill to the Senate for final passage, expected later in the evening.
"The Iraqi government needs to show real progress in return for America's continued support and sacrifice," said Bush, and he warned that August could prove to be a bloody month for U.S. troops in Baghdad's murderous neighborhoods.
Five months in power on Capitol Hill, Democrats coupled their concession to the president with pledges to challenge his policies anew. "This debate will go on," vowed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, announcing plans to hold votes by fall on four separate measures seeking a change in course.
Keep it up and Cindy Sheehan's bound to follow through on her threat and run for Congress.

The Davis-Hinich multidimensional model of electoral competition is the foundation for a very broad set of models in economics, political science, public choice and political economy. This essay reviews some of these models and how they build on and extend the original Davis-Hinich model. It also presents a new extension that makes individual preferences endogenous to the electoral process. The essay concludes with a discussion of the positive and normative implications of endogenous preferences and then returns to the basic theme of the central importance of the early Davis-Hinich papers.

The **** I say - and I fear people have marginalised me because of that advise - is not how I wish it were. But **** me, you just can't be honest these days. You gotta play the game. You inch towards the truth like a coward. It's like if you tried to make it simple and straightforward they're going to think it's anything but.

In "James Penney's New Identity", in the dry desert of Southern California, James Penney is laid off from the plant after 17 loyal years of service. With the threat of the bank repossessing his treasured red Firebird, he goes on the run. But why are the cops so hot on his trail? And who is the tall military policeman, built like a weightlifter, who offers him a ride?
Set just a few minutes before the terrifying opening of the best-selling Jack Reacher thriller Gone Tomorrow, in "Guy Walks into a Bar", old habits die hard for Jack Reacher. He is always on the lookout for trouble. When he stops at a bar in lower Manhattan for a late-night beer and some music, his eyes are drawn to a rich young Russian girl and her bodyguard. Is she in danger? Who are those two suspicious-looking guys sitting at separate tables, watching her?

As a loyal Lee Child follower I feel I am being tested £8.99 for a pointless no-story and Tom Cruise playing 6"5 Reacher. I will be very wary about spending any more money on a Lee Child product.
"classic Lee Child"
I enjoyed these stories though they were VERY short, especially the second one. Had I paid the full price for these I would have been unhappy.
A fantastic book in the series,i have read all previous books and i think this is another great read the auther has really bought together modern day terrorist issues into the book gripping at times and great characters and a fantastic narator reading the book definatly a 10 out of 10 book and would highly reccomend it cant wait for the the next read.

The Moonstone
Foreignness and 'the Other' Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Going round to the terrace, I found three mahogany-coloured Indians, in white linen frocks and trousers looking up at the house. (220.127.116.11)
Betteredge describes the three Indian men as "mahogany-coloured." Mahogany is a dark-colored hardwood that grows in tropical areas – primarily in Central and South America, although some trees from the South Pacific are also called mahoganies. No, this isn't just a random fun fact about trees: it shows that Betteredge's description goes beyond a (racist) reference to the skin color of the three Indian men. He also objectifies them by associating them with a kind of wood that was expensive and exotic – and obtained only by trade with British colonies – during the nineteenth century. He's associating them with exotic luxury commodities.
Now I am not a sour old man. I am generally […] the last person in the world to distrust another person because he happens to be a few shades darker than myself. But the best of us have our weaknesses—and my weakness, when I know a family plate-basket to be out on a pantry table, is to be instantly reminded of that basket by the sight of a strolling stranger whose manners are superior to my own. (22.214.171.124)
Generally, when a person starts to say, "Now I'm not racist, BUT," the alarm bells should start going off. But Betteredge claims, at least, that he feels suspicious, not because of the skin color of the three Indians, but because a) they're "strangers," and he doesn't like things that are strange or new, and because b) their "manners are superior" to his, which suggests that they are of a higher social class than they appear to be. All in all, Betteredge doesn't know what to make of them.
Here was our quiet English house suddenly invaded by a devilish Indian Diamond. (126.96.36.199)
This seems like a strange statement. After all, the Moonstone is just a rock. Betteredge is personifying it when he says that it is "invad[ing]" the house. And he doesn't just refer to it as "the Moonstone"; he calls it "a devilish Indian Diamond." By emphasizing the nationality of the gem, and the nationality of the English house, Betteredge is suggesting that there's more going on here than simply the presence of a troublesome piece of jewelry in his home. The "English house" could be read as a metonymic symbol for all of England, and the "Indian Diamond" is often interpreted as a symbol for India. So for him to say that the diamond is "invad[ing]" the house could perhaps represent the anxiety of many British citizens that the people they were colonizing and oppressing in other countries might actually come back to England and invade them.

Proceeds to Support Lincoln Land Community College Brian McMillen Veterans Scholarship Fund
Springfield, IL – Illinois State Police (ISP) officials, family, friends and local community will come together with the Lincoln Land Community College (LLCC) Veterans Club in support of the Brian McMillen Memorial Run/Walk this Saturday, 8:00a.m., May 24, 2014, at Lincoln Land Community College's Springfield Campus.
ISP Trooper McMillen was tragically killed in the line of duty at the age of 24 by an intoxicated driver on October 28, 2007, while responding to a request for assistance by a local officer. Trooper McMillen was assigned to District 9 Patrol in Springfield after having just graduated from the ISP Academy nine months earlier.
During his college years, Trooper McMillen attended LLCC and worked in the Veterans Affairs Office, and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Illinois-Springfield.
Trooper Brian McMillen was a decorated veteran having served as a Technical Sergeant in the Illinois Air National Guard's 183rd Security Forces Squadron Fighter Wing, where he participated in overseas deployments to Saudi Arabia, Romania, and Italy.
Trooper McMillen was an athlete and devoted runner. The Lincoln Land Community College Veterans Club keeps his legacy of service alive by honoring his accomplishments with the Brian McMillen Memorial Run/Walk. Proceeds from the event provide financial support to veterans attending LLCC through the Brian McMillen Veterans Scholarship Fund.
Registered Run/Walk participants can choose to walk 1-mile or run in the 5K/10K races. For more information, runners and walkers can register online at https://secure.getmeregistered.com/get_information.php?event_id=10601 or visit www.facebook.com/BMcMrun/.

I am really surprised with this little find. For 2 Euros, I did not expect much. The smell was very chemical-ish, but after it dried on the skin, there is no more smell. It does dry quickly, which means u have to work quickly on blending, it is similar to MAC prolong wear and MUFE Mat Velvet in terms of drying speed and the feel after it is dried. It kept my face matte for over 4 hours, my T zone needed blotting, but at least the foundation did not slide off my nose. Coverage is medium at best, but for 2 bucks, it is good enough. Packaging is very simple and I don't have a problem with it, had no pump, but does Revlon CS. All in all, this is really not too bad.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Watery consistancy, oily,no coverage, broke me out, poor quality.
I have this foundation with the pump in the Beige color. It's a light shade with a pinky tint. I love the packaging as the pump is really great. You only need a little bit of product as it goes a very long way. It's matte but not totally as there is a little bit of shine to it. I really do like this product and a friend of mine complimented me yesterday and said that I have really great skin while I was wearing this product. So I do recommend it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got mine at Kmart. The color looks so light so I bought the darkest shade, but it's wayy darker than it appears. It made my skin appear reddish/orange-ish. The texture is fine but the smell is awful. For now I mix it with a moisturizer and make it a tinted moisturizer (since it did not have much coverage anyway).
The bottle came with a pump, so after I use up this foundation (I don't like to be wasteful!), I'm going to wash it up and reuse the pump.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this product from Kmart, where it was $2 in a 1 fl. oz. glass bottle with a pump. I was impressed by the packaging on such an inexpensive product. (Actually the packaging on most of the Jordana line is quite functional, if basic.) It also looked very light in the bottle, so, since I like Jordana's felt-tip pen eyeliner, lip gloss, and eyeshadow, I thought I would give it a try. (Also, I'm a foundation glutton.)
The hygienic packaging is about the only thing this foundation has going for it, in my opinion. The color was about an NW10-15 directly out of the bottle, but it very quickly oxidized into an orange mess on my skin. It applied pretty evenly with a flat-top kabuki brush, but it also looked rather thick and unnatural. It sets quite quickly, so you have to work fast to blend it out. I have a few fine lines on my forehead, and it didn't settle into those.
I wouldn't recommend this product, really, but if you are on a strict budget, can find a color match, and really like matte full-coverage foundation, you might experiment a little. It's only $2.

Sorry to say but this product did not do anything for me. Its no good for full coverage, left me oily, broke me out & I hated the smell. Do not buy such cheap makeup esp for things like foundation as its for your whole face which is a pretty big area so skip this. Go for the other d/s companies if you have to.

...really, do the comments on here say this product is GOOD...no, no way! I tried this product because it was a buck...1 DOLLAR, THATS IT!! Was i thinking the quality was going to be great? no way. and i was definitely right. this stuff is terrible. I bought the one in my color, and the color fit perfect, it blended well and stayed on (even though the bottle was a bit aggravating without a pump)..a few hours later when i took this stuff off, I had acne bumps EVERYWHERE! everywhere i put this stuff it had clogged my pores like nobody's business! I haven't been breaking out since using persa gel 10 (my holy grail), so this was the only thing that could have done it. the smell scares me, and i will never be buying this stuff again!
I got two shades for about $4NZD each. 01 Natural and 06 Toast, which I have custom mixed in different ratios into small plastic flip top squeeze bottles as I find the bottle (while functional) just too messy to use on a day to day basis - maybe it's just me being clumsy but I much prefer a pump or squeeze tube as opposed to a wide neck bottle and screw cap because I always drip stuff into the screw thread or pour out too much!
That said, the product is pretty awesome - I can't use Colorstay because it makes me break out so can't compare but this lasts really well and has excellent coverage. It's maybe a couple of notches below my DiorSkin Nude foundation but for the price you pay it is definitely comparable!
It does set reasonably quickly but blends fairly well and dries to a semi-matte finish. Lasts all day (a good 10 -12 hours on me) over a primer, gives good coverage of redness and blemishes, doesn't settle into lines or accentuate pores and did I mention it is CHEAP?!
Will definitely buy again!
EDIT: Added another lippie - this stuff is awesome - I discovered Buff #10 and while it is a tiny bit pale it is the right tone for my skin. I custom mix it with the other shades I have and it is damn near perfect.

bought this for $1 at a 99 cents store, tried it out and love it! good coverage and alot of product. believe it or not..but it has the same amount as the colorstay foundation. the packaging is the same only that the bottle is shorter. the smell is different. i bought a tan and a light one just to mix and make my own color since i have a unique color or skin. the color range is kinda small but you should buy two to mix like i did. i wouldnt pay more than the dollar i paid tho since i know it can be sold for that cheap and HQ results. i would recommend that you look for a good powder though just to make it look good. i love jordana! :)<3

This is quite a find! It is easily better than the more expensive foundations I have tried. I have dry skin, so I mix this with some moisturizer as I apply it. I use a sponge to blend the makeup. It dries a little quickly, so sometimes I have to work to make it look really smooth; in this case I wet the makeup sponge and run it lightly over any rougher areas. The lightest shade is perfect for my very fair skin-- a wonderful color match! It leaves my skin looking smooth, natural, and so pretty that I love to check my skin out in the mirror. It covers well and seems to last long. I will update if anything changes. Overall, I would say give this a shot, especially if you have trouble finding foundation light enough for your pale skin. At 1.99, there's very little risk involved! I was able to find it at a .99 store, because sometimes they do not sell the foundation with the other Jordana products at other retailers.
Update: Still the best foundation I've ever used. Add to it that this brand does not test on animals and I will never stray! Do yourself a favor and try it out!
