I know keeping mags loaded for long periods of time can wear out the springs. But with a CCW weapon that I will have loaded most of the time, how often should I pop all of the bullets out to give the springs a break? I'd like to keep my high capacity mags intact in case I can't buy them in the near future.

I had 2 Kimber mags that I kept loaded for close to 10 years. The springs never suffered a bit. A lot of people will bad mouth Kimber magazines too. Just short them a couple of rounds and you'll be fine. Try to stick with high quality magazines though, as cheaper magazines will have carbon steel springs, rather than silicon bronze or high silicon steel springs.

While I agree that any quality mag can be loaded at 90% and left that way for a good long time, I personally rotate my carry mags every month. I load my carry mags at full load ( 8 rounds for my full size and 7 rounds for my compact ) and keep them in my shoulder rig, ready to go. I have done this for close to 20 years and have never had a magazine that previously worked perfectly fail to perform because it had been loaded for "X" amount of time. A good quality spring and follower can be "abused" without failure with utmost certainty... JD
Good springs last a lifetime... I had a fully loaded magazine for my Tokarev that laid around for 20 years. I figured that either the ammo wouldn't fire OR the mag wouldn't feed. WRONG! It fired and fed ammo like it was just loaded.
somewhere between 50 and 100 years
Good to know. Have had the same concern.
"When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber". Winston Churchill
Good to know. When I went to training events, a lot of times the M16's jammed constantly because the mags were ratty. I just wanted to make sure the same thing didn't happen to my handgun.
You should be good to go. The mil-spec M16 mags are built by the lowest bidder, and the followers are usually crap (most other mags out there are better). Your pistol magazines should be just fine.
I have always been curious about this, because I wonder if maintaining constant sprung weight wears out a spring slower or faster than regularly releasing tension and then later reloading the magazine. I know people who cycle mags every 3 or 6 months, and I know people who never cycle mags. Neither seem to indicate experiencing problems. I can tell you I know a lot of police officers who never cycle mags, and only unload them by firing semi-annual qualifications. They reload them right after qualifying, and year after year the guns function properly. I wish I could find the magazine article I read a few years ago where they found a WWII 1911 in a gunwriters grandfathers footlocker when they went through it after he passed away. The gun had gone in the box in something like 1945 with a loaded magazine, and hadn't come back out. They decided to check the magazine & ammo to see if it would still function and sure enough, bang-bang-bang without any problems.
I don't make jokes, I just watch the government and report the facts. -Will Rogers An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. -Winston Churchill

I found this interesting. I came across a very general wanted ad at the sales office of my employer (a security and private investigations firm) while searching online for new sales leads.
The ad was from a reputable source and simply stated "Security wanted for US Company. Call 213-403-0415". Out of sheer curiosity I called the number. These are the details:
*Private Security/ Executive Protection needed for a company that sells and manages private island time shares.
*Position is suit and tie, polished individual.
*4 days on, 3 days off.
*Provide protection on private jets and for execs on the island.
*All flights and expenses during working hours are paid by employer.
*$1,050.00 weekly to start plus large benefits package.
Not sure what the catch is here...if interested call for yourself, listen to the message, and leave your name and number. This personally wouldn't work for me and my "current situation" but sounds like a great gig for somebody out there. Thought I'd let you all know.

The Black Crowes
We're ecstatic to welcome back The Black Crowes, the renowned southern rock band whose two-hour Friday night set in 2008 was one of the most mind-blowing sets the Vibe Tribe has ever experienced. Without question, their performance at this year's event is not to be missed.
The Black Crowes specialize in that Stonesy swagger and Faces boogie perfectly. Vocalist Chris Robinson appropriated the sound and style of vintage Rod Stewart, while brother Rich Robinson fused Keith Richards' lean guitar attack with Ron Wood's messy rhythmic sense. At their best, the Black Crowes echoed classic rock without slavishly imitating their influences, and the band's nostalgic sound helped foster a long, popular career.
After a hiatus between 2002 and 2005, the band released Warpaint, which hit number 5 on the Billboard chart. After the release of a double album, the greatest hits-like and mostly acoustic Croweology in August 2010, the band started a 20th anniversary tour that was followed by an ongoing second hiatus, returning again in 2013 with a European tour and subsequent American tour, with guitarist Jackie Green replacing Luther Dickinson.

Gear Review
An awesome and responsive board!
I rode this board for the first time this past weekend, and it performed amazingly well. It's a light, poppy and responsive board that is perfect for long powder runs or playing in the park. I thought it might be a little stiff, but it's not at all. I could turn on a dime, and the riding was incredibly smooth. Since it's so responsive I'd recommend it to a rider who is intermediate to advanced. It would shoot off with a beginner who hasn't learned how to control it.

If you loved Final Fantasy XIII's unique take on the RPG genre, you might not be happy to hear that, in many ways, XIII-2 was a return to the ways of old. It's less linear. There's more exploration. The game, on the whole, feels more like a traditional Final Fantasy game. Then again, there's a good chance that those things are what you missed the most in XIII – and, in general, XIII-2 is a marked improvement over its predecessor. It caters directly to longtime Final Fantasy fans, unlike its vastly divergent (and therefore highly divisive) predecessor. The return of the moogle is symbolic of this, but its classic tendencies are manifested throughout the game, most notably through its increased focus on exploration and discovery.
If FFXIII was an exercise in form over function, its successor is an exercise in working with what you've got – and doing a brilliant job of it (for the most part). It does some things better than its predecessor, some things worse, but what's most impressive about Final Fantasy XIII-2 is how much of it feels new and different, despite sharing most of its guts with XIII. It's a wholly new game set within the same universe, and it's impressive just how fresh Square Enix managed to make it seem.
Soulcalibur V is an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. On the surface, it seems like a fighting sequel that few people actually asked for, yet as you dig deeper into it, the subtle improvements reveal a game that delivers in droves. From new characters that evoke classic ones (but with a clever spin) to stellar visuals, gorgeously fluid framerates and faster-paced gameplay, it's a striking retort to people who claim the series hasn't been good since the second game.
There's depth here for competitive players to jump in and explore, both online and in local tournaments, and there's an accessibility that lets more casual players enjoy it with friends on the couch. We can't predict what kind of legs it'll have, but we hope it catches on with both audiences. It's a fighter that deserves it.

City Pages staff writer Nick Pinto's LAUREL-worthy exposé "Weird Science," published in March across the entire VVM chain, revealed that the researchers behind the widely-cited data had calculated the number of trafficking victims by first counting online adult-services ads, and then simply guessing at the ages of the girls in the pictures used to advertise those services. And that was about it.
"It was absolutely farcical," says VVM executive editor Michael Lacey. And any reporter "would not have had to be a statistician" to recognize that the methodology was laughably flawed—if, that is, they had bothered to ask.

Volcom gave this pant a low rise, tight, straight leg, and tons of color choices, so he can have big-boy style. A touch of spandex allows him to join in the action without splitting his seams or eating it stiff-legged. And an indestructible buckle will stand up to his roughhousing, no problem.

I want: at least 4 burners (gas or induction, can't decide), a griddle (the only factor that is steering me away from induction), a large full size oven, a smaller oven (pref. one of those micro/convec combos). I don't really want 2 full size ovens I don't think. Or do I....? I was leaning towards the Bertazzoni 48 inch dual fuel with the griddle, but the oven sizes (2.9 cu ft and 1.8 cu ft) seem SO small compared to the oven specs of just about every other model I've seen. What is the deal with that? |
Follow-Up Postings:
LG has a cooktop with a bridge feature for a griddle. Newegg has it for 1800. The new Thermador/Gaggenau is zoneless and would work but is expensive. AEG has zoneless cooktops without US service support shipping from the UK. 1k with 150 Fedex. These are on their third generation. An oven below or dual setup of your choice gives you options. |

text: I've been having great results with my satin-lined hat, purchased through Etsy. I wrote a review of it at my blog. The satin protects natural hair. As for putting on hats, I lightly gather my hair at the top of my head (pineappling) before stuffing it into my hat. If you get too much of a bump on top, try gathering and twisting your hair in a low pony first. You'll still need to fluff and reshape your hair afterwards. Ah, our curly manes!


text: I had made a previous Saison with this yeast, and it was so citrusy that I thought I could go gonzo on the citrusy American hops and come up with a bit of an experimental brew. Also based loosely on a Saison recipe from Zymurgy. I was additionally inspired by Ouroborous, a brew from the Alchemist in Waterbury, VT, which is similar in its citrus flavors. But that's more of an IPA than this.MASHED GRAINS 12# Belgian Pale 0.25# Caramel 60L 0.25# Biscuit 0.25# AromaticADDITIONAL FERMENTABLES 1# Organic Cane SugarHOPS 0.5oz Centennial (10.5%aa) @ FWH 0.5oz Amarillo (7.5%aa) @ FWH 1oz Centennial @ 60 mins 0.5oz Centennial @ @ 5 mins 0.5oz Amarillo @ @ 5 mins 1oz Amarillo Dry HoppedMASHING NOTES 152F for 60 mins.FERMENTATION NOTES Washed yeast from previous Saison. 75 for 24 hrs, 80 for 24 hrs, 82 for 5 days, cellar after that. 1.004 after 3 days when I transferred to secondary.BOTTLING NOTES 1 cup corn sugar. Condition for 2 weeks.ADDITIONAL TASTING NOTES Holy citrus explosion. Literally tastes like I poured grapefruit or orange juice into it. The citrus notes from the yeast along with all the American hops really add up. Much to my surprise, people also seem to really like this one. Color is a nice orange to match the flavor. Creamy head dissipates pretty quickly due to high alcohol content. Probably a little more spiciness in the finish would have balanced this out a little bit.

Pawsh Pet Resort and Spa was designed from a pet's perspective to provide its furry visitants with homely comforts amid a safe, fun, and personalized environment. The facility is managed by Holly Kierski, whose credentials for the job include certifications in pet CPR, first aid, and as a bark-to-English translator. Holly heads a staff of professionals that supervise all of Pawsh's day-to-day activities, ranging from exercise-packed daycare services to upscale boarding options, some of which feature password-protected webcams so traveling owners can peek in on their canine or kitty. Meanwhile, on the spa side of Pawsh, professionally trained groomers spruce up shaggy styles, and outside the facility, Pawsh employees jet off to clients' houses for in-home sitting of more exotic pets, such as horses, birds, and freeloading cousins.
Linda's Pet Sitting, LLC provides in-home care for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, birds, and Tamagotchis. Caregivers travel to homes across the service area to walk, feed, and play with animals, change litterboxes, and clean out birdcages. They'll even perform basic household chores, if time allows. Each visit lasts approximately 20–30 minutes, and pet owners can schedule an introductory consultation free of charge.
Petimage Grooming Salon & Spa pampers canines and felines with services that rival human-oriented spas. The groomers use shampoos that employ natural and organic ingredients, which ensures pets come away clean and unworried about their carbon paw prints. Along with trims and fur-styling services, the spa also offers blueberry facials.
The seasoned technicians at Sams Gas efficiently refill 20-pound propane tanks, perfectly designed for gas grills. Whether customers own their own propane reservoirs or buy one from Sams, a technician will fill it to the brim with fresh-from-the-farm propane gas, lauded for being nontoxic and having minimal effect on the environment or the indigenous dryer-sheet trees that spring up in lint filters.
Most pet owners consider their furry friends to be full members of the family, with privileges that meet or exceed those of their human roommates. With that in mind, it's understandable that some people would reject the one-size-fits-all approach to veterinary medicine. Licensed vet Dr. Deanna DeVuyst certainly understands. That's why she started Home Healing Animal Clinic, LLC, a mobile practice that delivers holistic treatments to pets during old-fashioned house calls. Whether she's redirecting animal energy during acupuncture treatments or mixing up a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, Dr. DeVuyst keeps her patients comfortable and relaxed. In addition to dogs and cats, Dr. DeVuyst also heals horses with equine acupuncture treatments.
The first mobile HydroDog station went on patrol in Australia in 1994, bringing dog-bathing and grooming services directly to clients' homes. Back stateside in 2011, Anthony Amos launched a fleet of blue, dog-shaped trailers, towed by his groomer's vehicles, kicking off his own HydroDog franchise. Furry friends hop aboard the whimsical, climate-controlled trailers during appointments. There, groomers clean dogs with a minimum of two tearless shampoos, de-mat tangled hair, and condition fur before cleansing the ears and smoothing the nails. A citrus treatment free of harsh chemicals and pesticides wards off pests such as fleas, ticks, or smaller dogs hiding in fur. After sessions, HydroDog's groomers disinfect all tools and equipment.

Ridgewood Lakes Golf Club brandishes the design of renowned architect Ted McAnlis, including sparkling white-sand bunkers and stunning vistas that run throughout, especially on Ridgewood's signature 15th hole. Here, elevated tee boxes overlook a sloped green nestled between greenside bunkers. A pond also glistens along the left side, making it the most visually stunning hole on the course and most sought after signature in Ridgewood's yearbook. To prepare for such scenic, yet demanding challenges, players can also utilize Ridgewood's amenities, including a full driving range, chipping and putting areas, and a fully stocked pro shop.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Total length of 7,031 yards from the back tees * Five sets of tees per hole
Golf Etc. Lakeland helps golfers through the entire process of upgrading their arsenal, from finding brand-name equipment to adjusting their current gear to fit their game. Brothers Luke and J.J. Miller—the latter of whom coaches golf at Southeastern University—run the shop and personally oversee the custom club-fitting process. In the hitting bay in the back of the store, visitors are likely to see Luke—who fits and maintains clubs for many local pros—analyzing a client's swing with technology that helps him prescribe the right club or zone in on any modifications, such as adjusting the length of the shaft or replacing the club head with a jai-alai basket. Golf Etc. also features an indoor putting green for golfers to test out prospective flatsticks, and J.J. and Luke regularly perform club re-gripping and repair services.
Harmony Golf Preserve is a golf destination prized as a Top 10 Orlando Golf Course in 2011 from Golf Orlando Florida. Course architect and US Open Champion Johnny Miller designed a layout that would work in concert with the local wildlife. The result is a sprawling championship course that melds seamlessly with the natural wetlands and wooded thickets of the 260-acre wildlife preserve that surrounds it, earning the distinction of a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
While acting as a haven for feathered and furred animals, the course challenges golfers with tricky doglegs and undulating terrain, culminating in the course's signature 9th hole, whose treacherous sand bunkers and water to the left of the green demand precision off the tee or a generous bribe to the mulligan maestro hiding in the thickets.
During course play, players can stop at a beverage cart or at the Grill on the Turn to refuel. After penciling in their final score, golfers can savor artisanal dishes and bask in the elegant, old-Florida atmosphere maintained by Graze, the clubhouse restaurant. Harmony Golf Preserve also helps players of all stripes cultivate their skills and clubbing techniques at The Performance Academy, while budding golfers can equip themselves with brand-name equipment and apparel from the pro shop.
Course at a Glance:
During a round of golf in this region, it's not uncommon for players to see the occasional alligator sunning itself on the banks of a fairway pond. The same, however, cannot be said for miniature-golf courses, unless you're playing at Congo River Golf, where the civilized sinking of putts coexists with the visceral carnage of live-alligator feedings. More than 25 alligators wait for patrons to feed them morsels of gator food in an exhibit beside the course. Though the course offers no chance for an encounter with the ancient, scaly species, it enchants players with waterfalls, safari-themed artifacts, and towering rock faces. In addition, Congo River Golf encompasses an indoor arcade and a gemstone-mining station, where guests dig through dirt for fossils, arrowheads, and Neanderthal's kindergarten time capsules.
When Kissimmee Golf Club first opened in the 1940s, it was a modest nine-hole facility. An expansion in the 1960s produced the back nine, and today, the club has flourished into a gorgeous testament to the Florida wetlands. Pines, oaks, and breezy palms line the fairways, and American alligators and sandhill cranes call the property home, too?all without a house in sight. The course's layout brings many of the land's features into play, and meticulously maintained greens appeal to any player hoping to improve his or her short game. Before rounds, golfers can get some practice swings in by visiting the club's chipping and putting areas, as well as one of the largest grass driving ranges in the county.
Course at a Glance * 18-hole, par 72 course * Total distance of 6,563 yards * Four tees per hole * Slope of 126 from the back tees * Rating of 70.2 from the back tees * Click here to view the scorecard
The landing zones at Remington Golf Club are wide enough that even poor shots may wind up in the fairway. It's the really poor shots that golfers should be worried about. As forgiving as the course's fairways and greens may appear to be, many of them sit a stone's throw from a water hazard that will make trespassing golf balls pay the ultimate price: their hope for a good hair day. From the tips, the 18-hole, par 72 course measures a formidable 7,111 yards, while four other sets of tees accommodate players across the handicap spectrum. To prepare for their round, golfers can warm up at the Club's distinct water driving range, where golfers hit buoyant range balls into a lake populated with floating targets.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Length of 7,111 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 73.9 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 134 from the farthest tees * Five tee options

Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant Victim of Health-Scare Hoax
Fans circulated false report the duo's singer was in intensive care
When Neil Tennant sang about never being boring, the Pet Shop Boys vocalist probably didn't mean something like this. Earlier today, fans on social media were passing around a since-deleted report that Tennant was in the intensive care unit of a German hospital, where he was supposedly suffering from heart failure. "Not true," a rep for the band told SPIN, and the Pet Shop Boys official Twitter account later said, "Stories reporting that Neil has been seriously injured are a hoax."
Such hoaxes come up more often than you'd think, with Eminem falsely rumored last spring to have been stabbed and just-as-false Jay Z death gossip filling the Internet this past November. Pet Shop Boys, being very much alive, released the excellent new album Electric last year. In July, Tennant told SPIN that what separates Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode from the nostalgia circuit is that they've never broken up: "You have the continual history, which I think is a testament to your integrity that you are doing this music because you want to do it and you love doing it, and you're not just a sort of genre-hopper. You want to feel that the potential for new sounds and new songs is still possible for your new music." That still appears to be the case.
So a sigh of relief for Pet Shop Boys' fans, and shame on the hoaxsters; you can revisit Electric's "Axis" below.

Chapter One:
I couldn't seem to open my eyes. My eyelids wouldn't budge. It didn't matter how much strength I used. I was scared that I might be dead.
I remembered my last sights. It was an adorable Cameron. I was taking a big gulp of the juice I poured him. It tasted funny. I'm not sure how to describe how I felt after swallowing. It seemed as if my body was shutting down. I don't even know. I barely remember making impact into the hard floor though.
My mind couldn't seem to stop making its way to Cameron. I loved it. I missed him. I missed his touch. I missed his soft voice. I missed him.
That was when I decided to make another attempt at opening my eyes. I succeeded. I saw a white ceiling. I managed to sit up. The three living people who I care so deeply about were all at my bedside. I was in a hospital bed. Zane and Dad were speaking low, their gazes never leaving the floor. Cameron sat in a little dark brown chair. At least I think it's Cameron. The boy whose head was hiding my left hand had the same blonde and light brown low lighted hair as Cameron. He looked as small too.
I decided to ruffle his super soft hair. He raised his head instantly and it was Cameron. A relieved smile grew onto his face in seconds. He seemed so happy that words couldn't describe him. I couldn't suppress the light chuckle when he squeaked in joy before scrambling to climb onto the bed and snuggled into me.
Zane and Dad had looked up at the sound of Cameron's squeaking. Both were shocked. I obviously had missed a lot. Zane's dried pine needle brown hair was a little bit longer than usual and he badly needed to shave. Dad needed a shave too. Whoa. Where's a razor?
"AJ? You're awake?" Zane seemed as happy as Cameron. Dad looked as if he thought this was a dream.
"Yeah. How long has it been?" My voice was awfully raspy.
"Two weeks."
"Have I missed a lot?"
"Nothing really. Nothing more than Cameron's constant mental
breakdowns, Cameron's parents dropped him, and Riley is in the
hospital as well."
"Wait. Cameron's parents dropped him? Is he living with us
"Yeah. Riley will have to as well."
"Whoa. Riley? Why? Wait, what happened to him? Did Roy almost
kill him?"
"Yeah. It was really bad, AJ. Worse than what Roy did to you."
My eyes widened at that. There wasn't much worse than what my stepdad did to me. Especially back in March. There isn't much worse.
We got started with a physical to make sure I'm okay. I'm perfectly fine. Just a little poison that failed to kill me. Once I was deemed alright, I was checked out of the hospital.
Once Dad dropped Cameron and I off at the house, they went back to the hospital to go check on Riley. Cameron and I had the whole house to ourselves for a little while. I chased him up to my room which evidently is now our room. Once we got to the bedroom, Cameron sat on the end of the bed, his legs spread out and his tongue sticking out a little bit as if he was exhausted or something.
I took my time as I walked over to him. Once I reached him, I didn't kiss his lips. I started caressing his legs and kissing his neck. After what felt like hours of that, I yanked my t-shirt off and I pushed Cameron down before climbing on top of him. As soon as I could feel his lips, I rolled us over. Another time we experience our own heaven.
I'm glad to have AJ back. It's been too long since I've felt him grab me. It's been too long since he's kissed me. It's been too long since he's been against me like this. It's been too long since he's been awake. It's been too long so it's just wonderful that he's back.
"Baby, you had mental breakdowns?"
"I was a total mess. I don't cope well without you around."
"I'm so sorry. I'll be more careful about stuff next time."
"Next time?"
"I won't be committing suicide. Don't worry. I'll be more careful
the next time when I take a sip of your drink."
"Oh. I was scared for a second."
"Don't worry, Cameron. I'm not leaving you. I'm right here."
I felt so content with his words whispering in my ear, in his low seductive voice. I relished in his warmth. After that conversation, we simply cuddled. It was enough. Hearing his heartbeat and having his breath warm in my hair. Words didn't need to fill the silence.
I'm pretty sure hours had passed. I don't know. It did startle me when Zane opened the door. It was also shocking to see a person with him. I think it's Riley but I couldn't really tell.
"Riley, this is AJ and Cameron's room as you could tell by the door and the fact that they look really cozy." Zane announced, gesturing towards us.
Riley's only greeting was a small wave and an even smaller smile that had vanished quickly. That's Riley. I couldn't believe it. Riley had huge bruises all over his face but his light brown hair somewhat hid the scars that I could tell were on his forehead. The big white bandage kinda gave them away.
"Hey Riley. How are you doing?" AJ was really gentle with him.
After the tiny thumbs up, AJ and I both started gesturing for the guy to come on over. Riley did so really reluctantly. He simply sat at the edge. We gestured for him to come closer.
"We're not going to hurt you, Riley. We're brothers and we have to accept that. We both have to." AJ's words seemed to comfort Riley who moved over so that he sat right next to us.
Zane ended up jumping onto the bed. It made us all laugh. The four of us all snuggled together and watched that really cute movie Frozen. The snowman has got to be the best character. Olaf is fucking hilarious. A snowman in the summertime. That isn't something you see everyday. Maybe it is. Who knows?
Riley still looked really out of it. He seemed really upset. I could tell he was seconds from crying. Immediately I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and he cried into my shoulder. Soon enough, all three of us were hugging him and comforting him.
"Riley, you can talk to me. I hope you know that. We've both been close to death from your father's actions. It's okay to be scared. It's okay to feel vulnerable. The best thing to do is to talk about it. Trust me. The minute I told Cameron, I felt better about it. It really helps to talk about it." AJ finally said it.
"It was horrible. It's been since that man shot you. My dad had been abusing me. He broke bones but he wouldn't take me to a hospital even though I badly needed to. A few days after he tried to kill you, he-he tried to kill me too." Riley admitted.
Tears streamed down his black and blue face. AJ held him gently, softly rubbing Riley's back. Riley's cries filled the air.
"It's hard. It's really hard to go through this. I know."
"I lost so much blood that night. It was crazy."
"Did he let you bleed in a burning building too?"
"Yeah. I couldn't move at all. Blinking and breathing caused
pain. The building collapsed. I don't know how I'm alive right
"Wanna hear what your dad did to me?"
"Sure. Why not?"
"I tried to run as he began beating me but he started shooting my
legs. Once he could reach me, he stabbed my legs. I tried to kick
him off but he had almost cut off my entire right leg. I managed
to stand only to be beaten the absolute life out of. I was half
numb once he made cuts all over me. I couldn't fight back. He
started an enormous fire and left me there to bleed to my end.
The last thing I can tell you about that night was when a really
dark and blurry figure found me and carried me out. Before any of
that happened, your dad murdered Mom right before my eyes."
"He did all of that?"
"Yeah. I can show you a bunch of scars."
"I can show scars too. Burns and bruises included."
We went from that to talking about relationships. Zane is a lonely man while Riley has a cute crush on Danni. My love life is pretty obvious. Same goes for AJ.
"Really? I can talk to you for him."
"No! You'll just make things worse. He probably doesn't even like
"I don't know. Remember when you pounded me in that alleyway?
That morning, David was looking at you as if you were a juicy
"Oh yeah. He was chewing on his bottom lip and everything."
"Okay. You can talk to him. Just don't tell him that I like him.
I would prefer to do that myself. After I know if he likes me."
The evening was filled with laughter. Eventually we got too cozy. I'm not even sure when or where I fell asleep honestly.

This Foundation is excellent because it doesnt clog pores, looks fresh and when i wear it i always get compliments. Unfortunately i only save it for special occasions as it finishes too fast. Oh and i apply it with a round kabuki brush by spraying the brush and then applying it to my moisturized face:)
Im always trying new things and this was a bust for me. It sprayed everywhere with little control and what landed on my skin was very concentrated and blotcy. The price was insane and in my opinion a complete rip off. Save your money on this one girls.
First of all, they only had 5 color choice. I had to buy two different colors to match my s kin tone. I was too afraid to spread on my face directly so I've used stippling brush, Hated the result. It was too matt and it accentuated every single pore I had and it stuck to the flakey part of my skin. For $120 I've spent it was a total waste. Now they are just sitting in my drawer.
I really wanted to like this product and was so excited when I used it for the first time. Unfortunately, the product performance did not live up to the hype. I purchased the lightest shade, which was still a tad bit dark for me. The coverage is very sheer. I have some acne scars and the Diorskin did nothing to conceal those. I have read other reviews say that the coverage is buildable, but I was hesitant to apply another layer. I was afraid that more product would just magnify the difference is my skin color and the product color. This foundation also melted away after about 5 hours. It is not worth the price in my opinion. I asked a friend at work the first week of use if she could tell a difference in my foundation. She told me she had not noticed any difference at all. I expected to look $60 better in this foundation. Maybe I was unrealistic in my expectations, but for a price of $60, I expected this product to be a minor miracle. Diorskin Airflash performed no better than some drugstore products I have used in the past.
I am loving this foundation, the can lasts longer than I thought, 8 weeks and still alot left.
The SA reminded me to clean my kabuki brush with an antibacterial brush spray regularly which I think has helped me avoid any breakouts (I am very oily and acnegenic)
I spray brush, buff in and set with Dior Nude Powder for a soft focus natural finish.
I also like Dior Nude foundation when I want a liquid.
I feel it is imprtant for me to spend more on quality foundation because the face gives a first impression and I want mine to look and stay healthy and clean! Also I have learned I get what I pay for and NONE of the cheap kinds work and I dont believe they are tested the same and wear the same.

BEST foundation i have ever used! I spray my foundation brush lightly with it , and work it around my face, i do this twice. Mine lasted for several months, and i use it 3-4 times a week. For those that want it to last, use Estee Lauder Lucidity Foundation which is my second pick.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love it!! It's so great because it's so incredibly easy to use... Just a spray on the face and I'm done. I've never been a fan of putting on foundation cos of the trouble and time taken to blend properly. But this stuff is so easy and quick! The coverage is not great, it's so lightweight, it feels like I'm not wearing anything at all. But just for the ease of use, I'll keep buying again and again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I went to Saks to buy Giorgio Armani liquid silk and bought this b/c she sales woman recommended it and overall had good reviews on Sephora. I ended up returning it b/c I broke several days in a row on different areas of my face. So returned it and bought the GA.
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For starters, I have combo skin. I don't really break out and don't have many things I need to cover up.
I LOVE this foundation. I have received MANY complements on my skin when I wear it.
It is so lightweight, easy to blend, and you really don't need a lot. The color match is also pretty great. You can spray it directly onto your face and blend, or onto a brush and blend or stipple. I prefer the brush method, I find I have more control that way.
This stuff is really great for evening out my complexion, and it's fabulous for summer or going to out to a bar, since it's so lightweight. I find it doesn't feel like most liquid foundations, which can sometimes have me almost excited to wash it off at the end of the day. With Airflash, it feels like I'm not wearing anything! It is pretty long wearing as well, even when I don't set it with powder.
I also like the fact that it does not have an SPF in it, so I will use it when I know pictures are going to be taken, because it doesn't make my face appear washed out.
One con of this product is definitely the price. It sells for about $60 CAD, which I think is kind of pricey for a fairly basic foundation. I also find that a lot of product goes to waste, just because it is a spray foundation. I usually spray it over the sink or over a kleenex or paper, and I definitely see how much product is wasted.
I think I may try my luck with Sally Hansen's spray foundation or even NYC's spray foundation first. The price is the only thing that's stopping me from re-buying. :(
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
WOW! Great stuff! A little goes a long way, its a decent size container and Ive had no clogging issues. Great coverage... go lightly though then blend with a soft brush. Definitly can clog pores but not as badly as most foundations I have tried. Would definitly purchase this again, its 60$ but worth it. The lightest one is what i use. I do wish they had a few more colors of this though for the other tones and complections out there, i think there were only like 5 choices in sephora.

Source: Inside Reference Data | 19 Apr 2012
Categories: Regulation & Standards
Topics: Commodity Futures Trading CommissionLegal Entity Identifier (LEI)Editor's LetterG-20Financial Stability Board (FSB)data
From this region, whether you're a native, an expat or a visitor, you get to hear perspectives about financial industry operations, including data issues, that you might not otherwise have thought about.
With all the coverage Inside Reference Data and WatersTechnology do concerning the legal entity identifier (LEI), Solvency II, Basel III, Mifid, Emir and the Dodd-Frank Act in general, the constant among those regulations other than the LEI is consistent dates.
An executive in the Singapore office of a major pricing data provider pointed this out to me in an extensive conversation today. We arrived at this angle while discussing the LEI standard rules, and walking through when they might be finalized and take effect, and when that provider would thus be able to serve its customers with LEI in mind.
There's last month's European Financial Stability Board (FSB) workshop that yielded the idea of different levels of LEI data for consideration by the FSB's Expert Group, which in turn is due to present LEI proposals to the overall board by the end of this month. Then those proposals, if approved by the FSB, will go to the Group of 20. Meanwhile, in the US, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has set an interim compliant identifier standard to tide the industry there over until Europe reaches its LEI decisions. The commission also has asked firms to submit for consideration as sources to identify swap counterparties, starting July 16.
