Dispatch has unveiled the director's cut of the video for their song "Not Messin'" via their YouTube Channel. Directed by so pa Productions (Coachella & Bonnaroo documentaries, The Low Anthem, Alexi Murdoch), the video was shot at Mishnock Barn in West Greenwich, RI - home of the region's best line dancing. More than 150 enthusiastic fans responded to Dispatch's call out for extras, and arrived at the video shoot location in their best Country Western attire.
Mishnock Barn is a location hand picked by the band, as the barn is located next door to LakeWest Recording Studio where the band recorded their early albums Bang Bang, Four-Day Trials, and Who Are We Living For?. Mishnock Barn owners Dan and Kelly Albro recruited and taught their line dancing regulars to perform the line dance that made an appearance in the video. The storyline and concept was a collaboration between Dispatch members and so pa.
Beginning today, fans can pre-order the band's forthcoming album Circles Around The Sun on the band's web store. A limited quantity of music and merch bundles are available including: deluxe vinyl with a 28-page hardcover book, CDs, apparel, autographed photo prints, and more. Pre-orders qualify fans for weekly drawings where the band gives away one-of-a-kind Dispatch items like custom bobble-heads of the band and a Chia Chad. For a complete breakdown of the various bundles available, click HERE.
The album is also available on iTunes for the special low pre-order only price of $6.99.

"It's practically impossible not to fall just a little bit in love with both the singer and her beautifully fragile music." -- Q Magazine (UK)
Julia Stone's new solo effort, By The Horns, is officially in stores this week, and to celebrate, the Aussie chanteuse has released a new video for the album's title track. In the video, which was directed by Jessie Hill and filmed deep in the jungles of tropical Asia, Julia takes the viewer on a gondola ride through mist-shrouded lakes, playing the role of a scorned goddess who has turned her unfaithful ex-lover into a goblin of the underworld, but she ends up the victim of her own creation. The video recently premièred on the KCRW Music Blog. Watch it above.
By The Horns was produced by Thomas Bartlett and Patrick Dillett, whose combined work includes credits on records by Antony & The Johnsons, David Byrne, The National, and Mary J Blige. The album is comprised of nine original tracks and a cover of The National's "Bloodbuzz Ohio." (Listen to it here: http://bit.ly/KYgX4d.)
Critics from around the globe are praising By The Horns:
" A Triumph" – Harper's Bazaar (Australia)
"…haunting folk ballads." – MTV Iggy
"Darker, wiser, and more personally reflective...'By the Horns' strikes a nice balance between standard, confessional singer/songwriter fare and radio-ready alt-pop."—All Music
"…a work of true depth and emotion." -- Clash Magazine (UK)
"The sister has branched off from the brother and is learning to fly on this exceptional solo release." -- LA Music Blog
"Her lovely, airy voice is more forceful on this record, and we like it." – The Owl Mag
"'By The Horns' will give you goosebumps." -- triple j magazine (Australia)
"…a firm example of Stone's mass appeal and ability to stand alone as solo artist."
-- The Line Of Best Fit (UK)
"I see the power of music to connect cultures. I see it when I stand on a stage at a bluegrass festival … and I bust out into a song in Chinese, and everybody's eyes just pop wide open." - Abigail Washburn
Nettwerk Records' catalogue artist and TED Fellow, Abigail Washburn, headed to Long Beach, CA for the annual TED2012 Conference. Washburn joined a 2012 class of honorees that included a molecular biologist, a space archaeologist, a blue whale scientist, a DIY Neurologist and 20 other innovators recognized by the globally recognized and highly esteemed nonprofit devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading." To watch, please visit HERE.
Washburn wanted to be a lawyer improving US-China relations -- until she picked up a banjo. She tells a moving story of the remarkable connections she's formed touring across the United States and China while playing that banjo and singing in Chinese.
This week, Morgan Page begins a series of summer festivals and headline gigs across North America in support of his recently release album, In The Air. To celebrate, Conan O' Brien invites Morgan to be this week's featured Guest DJ for "Conan O'Brien Presents: Team Coco." Included in Morgan's featured playlist is a stream to his full album and a link to his 100th 'In The Air' Podcast. Check it out! Playlist track listing below.

Nettwerk Records and Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Joshua Hyslop are pleased to celebrate his Canadian album chart debut, with Where The Mountain Meets The Valley landing at #175 on Canada's Top 200 Chart, as well as #67 on the Digital Albums Chart.
In his early 20s, Hyslop is inspired by an array of artists - Damien Rice, William Fitzsimmons, Ryan Adams, Iron & Wine – but, has developed his own kind of artfully-rendered Americana.
In the coming days, Hyslop will be taking his music on the road. The stripped down performances highlight Hsylop's innate ability to effortlessly write beautiful melodies layered on top of lovely harmonies.
Toronto based singer-songwriter Liam Titcomb is set to release "Love Don't Let Me Down," the lead single from his forthcoming Nettwerk debut album, out June 19th. The single comes bundled in a 4-track EP, which is comprised of an acoustic version of the title track, as well as additional songs "Map Of Me" and "Chasing You."
Listen to "Love Don't Let Me Down" below:
The result of a powerful collaboration with producer Jay Joyce, "Love Don't Let Me Down" boasts a cinematic storyline driven by shimmering guitars and painted with Titcomb's signature delivery. The track remains both irresistible and inspiring; a perfect forerunner to Liam's upcoming full-length debut.
Titcomb is preparing for a handful of Canadian dates, starting May 30th. For a complete list, see below.

Well done me!!!
Pros: Durable, , Easy to fit, , Good quality, Strong,
"Myself and my wife were looking for a bathroom suite that not only looked the part but also wouldn't cost the earth. We looked every where we knew and found nothing that we liked or could afford...that is until we came across Plumbworld. The P shape bath with screen was not the cheapest we found but value for money...none beat it. It was easy to fit, is strong and sturdy and the screen also fitted perfect. The combi toilet/basin unit, again, is very sturdy and very well built. The finish is what we hoped for too.It came complete so was very easy to fit. As for the taps we bought, yet again, very pleased with the quality, feel strong and again the finish perfect.Probably sounds like i work for Plumbworld but i dont but if you are looking for a bathroom suite, taps, quality service and quick delivery times, together with a price to suit everyone, then dont bother looking around....just click on to plumbworld!!! Simple!!!"

Muslims face growing attacks in Ivory Coast crisis
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast Souleymane Sissouma became the third imam slain this month in an attack so brutal his family members went into hiding, too afraid even to attend his funeral.
As dozens of mourners gathered at a mosque, the twisted wreckage of a burned car lay outside - another sign of the growing campaign of violence against Muslims who widely support Alassane Ouattara, the internationally recognized winner of November's presidential election.
Ouattara, who is Muslim, is locked in a battle with the entrenched president Laurent Gbagbo for power, and their conflict is veering dangerously toward sectarian violence. At least 10 mosques across Abidjan have been set ablaze, and another was abandoned after attackers threw a grenade through a window during prayers.
"Us Muslims, we're not safe. We are the object of every kind of violence. We're afraid. We don't know how this is going to end," said Imam Idriss Koudouss, president of the National Islamic Council. "And we aren't even involved in politics."
Ouattara supporters also have been beaten to death with bricks, even doused with gasoline and burned alive. Cell phone videos of the horrors are traded on the street and broadcast on state television along with calls to arms.
"It's the political manipulation of ethnicity," said Corinne Dufka, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch. "The root of the conflict is competition for political power and the fault lines are drawn along religious, ethnic and national lines."
November's presidential election was supposed to reunite the country after a 2002-2003 civil war split it into a rebel-controlled north and a loyalist south. But when Gbagbo refused to recognize U.N.-certified results showing that he lost, Ivory Coast was plunged back into a cycle of violence.
The U.N. says up to 1 million people have fled the fighting and at least 462 people have been killed, though Ouattara's camp puts the toll at 832. The vast majority of these deaths were Ouattara supporters who were abducted and killed by Gbagbo-allied security forces, human rights groups say.
"We're afraid. Everyone's leaving," said Abdias Goita, a father of two who waited outside the Malian embassy for evacuation Friday. "My brother had his door broken down by pro-Gbagbo militias. He gave them all the money he had - about 200,000 francs ($430) - but they slit his throat anyway."
During the presidential campaign, little was made of the fact that Ouattara would be Ivory Coast's first Muslim president, drawing much of his support from the north. In the aftermath though, pro-Gbagbo police and militias have been widely accused of targeting Muslims because they are perceived as being defacto Ouattara supporters.
Last week, riot police showed up at Imam Sissouma's mosque, arresting him and his son and taking the offering box. A fellow imam immediately called the interior minister to plead for their release and thought everything would be fine when Sissouma's wife called to say they were back at home, safe and sound.
But Sissouma's wife called back a half hour later to say the riot police had executed him and five other people, including his elderly mother.

RCBS Flash Hole Deburring Tool 30 Caliber
Product #: 356172 RCBS #: 88148 UPC #: 076683881489
Product Information
The RCBS Flash Hole Deburring Tool is a great tool for any reloader who is looking to increase the consistency and reduce variations from case to case to get the best possible accuracy out of their shooting equipment.

This process only needs to be done once for the complete life of a piece of brass.
Technical Information
Fits: 30 Caliber Cases
Function: Ensure that the flash hole is burr free
Material: Plastic Handle, Steel Cutter
Notes: Includes caliber specific self-centering pilot collar, other caliber collars are available separately

He knew. A summons glues all. The air sucks itself dry,
then dies. There's little time to write a note:

A summon unsticks too. Relatives, friends, foes stand back.
He said "Let's walk." To the river. His wife's hair
burnished iodine gold in the sun that morning.
His infant son kicked the irreverent air.

A summons arches like a scimitar.
He said nothing about the Commissar's note.
Everyone knew. The Bureau smells – that old, familiar fear.
An odor permeates – the newspaper, the ...

forbidden evil is better but great stuff
Album Rating: 4.0It's a glad find great albums review. On the other hand is difficult to do a good second album after recording a fundamental piece of thrash (Forbidden evil).
"The guitar playing is also far more technical and melodic" melodic maybe, technical I dont think so. Forbidden Evil is a complex piece of guitar work.
Album Rating: 4.5I'm not in any way trying to take away from Forbidden Evil. I love that album.. However i felt that this release used more extensive and complicated riffs and solos.

EU industry emissions rise slightly in 2011-analysts
LONDON, Feb 27 (Reuters) – European Union industrial
carbon emissions rose by up to 2.4 percent last year, analysts
surveyed by Reuters estimated, below the market cap and keeping
the 27-nation bloc on track to meet its 2020 climate target.
The EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS) limits the emissions
of over 12,000 installations, including power plants and
factories, and covers over 40 percent of the 27-nation bloc's
total emissions.
UK must not lose lead in marine renewables drive
LONDON, Feb 19 (Reuters) – Britain must not lose its
lead in the development of marine energy like it did with wind
power, and should focus on reducing costs and setting ambitious
deployment targets beyond 2020, a report by a parliamentary
committee said on Sunday.
Seven out of the eight large-scale prototype wave and tidal
devices installed worldwide are in the UK but are not expected
to make a large contribution to its energy mix before 2020.
Clean energy set for consolidation says E&Y
LONDON (Reuters) – The clean energy sector is unlikely to sustain its frenzied rate of investment growth and looks set for consolidation led by Asian players, said Gil Forer, head of global cleantech at Ernst & Young.
"The (renewables) space has grown dramatically in the last seven to eight years. No industry can continue to grow indefinitely at such rates, there is always a point of correction," he told Reuters on Wednesday.
Soil erosion increasing global warming threat-UNEP
LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – Global warming will get
worse as agricultural methods accelerate the rate of soil
erosion, which depletes the amount of carbon the soil is able to
store, a United Nations' Environment Programme report said on
Soil contains huge quantities of carbon in the form of
organic matter. which provides nutrients for plant growth and
improves soil fertility and water movement.
Britain to urge green accounting at Rio+20 summit
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain will urge businesses and governments to start accounting for natural capital as an additional way of measuring economic activity at a U.N. sustainability summit in June, its environment minister said on Thursday.
This could mean moving towards a concept of GDP+, or measuring the use or loss of natural resources like water, agriculture and forests to gauge economic activity, in addition to relying solely on economic output.
New solar cell could boost efficiency by 25 pct
LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters) – A new type of solar cell
which could boost the efficiency of solar panels by over 25
percent compared to silicon-based cells has been developed by
British scientists, but they need another two or three years to
assess whether it is commercially viable.
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a
hybrid solar cell which is capable of converting 44 percent of
sunlight into electrical power, 29 percent more than traditional
cells' capability of 34 percent, they said in the journal
NanoLetters on Wednesday.
UK firm plans to firm up liquid air energy storage
LONDON, Feb 1 (Reuters) – UK company Highview Power
Storage plans to develop a commercial facility which uses liquid
air to store renewable energy after a pilot project was
successful, the firm told Reuters on Wednesday.
One of the problems facing wind power development is how to
store surplus energy when the wind is strong and release it when
the weather is calm.
World lacks enough food, fuel as population soars: U.N.
LONDON (Reuters) – The world is running out of time to make sure there is enough food, water and energy to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population and to avoid sending up to 3 billion people into poverty, a U.N. report warned on Monday.
As the world's population looks set to grow to nearly 9 billion by 2040 from 7 billion now, and the number of middle-class consumers increases by 3 billion over the next 20 years, the demand for resources will rise exponentially.
Renewable energy deals hit record high in 2011: report
LONDON (Reuters) – Global renewable energy deals climbed 40 percent to a record high of $53.5 billion last year from $38.2 billion in 2010, as solar, wind and energy efficiency overtook hydropower as the main deal drivers for the first time, a report said on Monday.
Historically, hydro power has dominated renewables deal flow, but deals worth $1 billion or more in wind, solar, biomass and energy efficiency have outnumbered hydro by seven to one, the PriceWaterHouse Coopers report said.

I made up a five gallon batch of Yooper's recipe dandelion wine. I did not take intial sg readings mostly because of all the solids I was dealing with in the must. At 3 pounds of sugar per gallon, what would my initial sg have been? I don't suppose there was much sugar in the dandelion flowers - maybe a little from the oranges. But, I also added 3 lbs of white raisins.
I am thinking I must have started out about 1.140 or more?
I am curious because I think my ferment is stuck already at 1.100. I am using EC 1118, so I didn't think I would have a problem.
Any ideas? Will I need to mix up a new starter? And if I do, should I go ahead and rack off the raisins now?
Any help appreciated. the must has a wonderful taste, but I sure would like to take it dry.
Check SG. if its to high the yeast wont like it. The raisins have a lot of sugar and some have preservatives that will prevent or retard fermentation. Check temp. get it into middle 70's. check ph, should be about 3.5 or so. stir it up and get O2 in for yeast to grow. O2 good in primary bad in secondary. Add some yeast nutrients. Almost all stuck are caused by the above problems.
Thanks Mike. The sg is 1.100 and has been for a few days. I am thinking of pouring from carboy back into fermentation bucket, repitching yeast, maybe with some nutrient, and trying to get her going good again. Any reason I should not put back into bucket?
Tried re-pitching. After 3 days, nothing. I just made up a new starter with a cup of orange juice and some fresh EC 1118. Gonna try that, adding a little must at a time to the new starter. I racked the must off the raisins trying to leave behind dead yeast, etc.
I think I know what went wrong. The raisins! Sunmade Golden raisins. I went to the store and checked the package. Sulphur dioxide added as a preservative. I didn't check before. This stuff was absolutely cooking before I added the raisins and dumped the stuff into a carboy. Heck, the first night, it blew the airlock right off the carboy! And then after a couple of days or so, it died at 1.100.
So wish me luck and if anybody has any pointers, I would welcome them. This is actually the second time this happened to me. I never figured out what caused it the first time 2 years ago. I only managed to get that one down around 1.05 or so, but after 2 years, it ended up being a pretty good sweet dandelion wine. People love it. I was really hoping for dry this time.
Next year, I think I will try some white grape juice instead of the raisins. I did notice the Sunmade regular raisins did not have preservatives - only the golden!
I think the biggest issue is probably starting with a too-high SG. If it's "down to" 1.100, you started with an OG that is too high. Stressed yeast struggle to ferment.
You could try just making a second batch, with an OG of 1.075 or so, and once that gets going combine them. That should work.
That's an idea. Maybe 3 lbs of sugar per gallon was a little too much, especially with additional 3 lbs of raisins? You mean you think I should water down the must to 1.075 and try to restart there? Hmmm. That would have an unintended advantage - more dandelion wine!
I think I might just do that!
You don't think I would have a problem with not enough acids or tannin? That's just another idea I read about that could cause a stuck ferment in a non-grape wine.
Thanks again, Yoop.

This morning dawned bright and beautiful without any rain clouds in sight. I know that the farmers need the rain and I'm very glad we've gotten some, but I was hoping for a dry day today so that the roof leak could be repaired. Prayers answered.
The roof repairman arrived on time (hooray!) and surveyed the damage. The good news is that our roof is in great shape. The bad news is that the skylight had developed a leak. I was worried about that. Skylights are nice, but they eventually leak no matter what you do and we have two of them. The "repair" that was done pre-purchase of the home wasn't done correctly. Whoever fixed it basically climbed up there with a caulk gun and put a bead of caulk around the edge. They might as well have stuck a bunch of chewed-up bubble gum in there. Not only was it the incorrect type of caulk, but it wasn't applied correctly. You need to use a trowel and spread the caulk out in all directions, both onto the roof and onto the glass. Simply plugging in the leak will delay the need for a full repair, but it's nothing more than a cheap, quick fix. In other words, nothing more than the bare minimum to hold over for a couple of months.
No surprise here, but the warranty company excludes skylights. What a shocker! Oh well, moving on.
I've made up a list of 10 tasks for our home DIY updates and put them in a semi-prioritized order. Lists help me stay on track and know where to go from there. I'm limiting it to 10 because if I put up any more than that at this moment, then it will overwhelm me!
1. Finish the laundry room side of trim around play room door.
2. Finish baseboards in play room.
3. Finish crown molding in play room.
4. Remove broken guest room ceiling light.
5. Install dry wall patch around light opening and install ceiling fan.
6. Paint guest room walls.
7. Paint guest room baseboards and trim.
8. Replace guest room closet doors.
9. Paint interior of above-the-commode cabinet that I purchased at World Market (naturally I see it, think "Yes, that's perfect – I just need to change almost everything about it." and take it home to add to my work load).
10. Find an above-the-sink mirror for the hall bathroom.
So there you have it. Ten items that I would like to cross off by the end of August. Anyone who wants to fly out to Williamsburg and help me is more than welcome (though you'll have to stay in a guest room with a broken ceiling light!).

Fox Searchlight via Everett Collection
Back when Star Wars VII announced its first rally of official players, we tackled each name on the list with a brief bit of professional history and our hopes and expectations for that with which he or she might be tasked for the upcoming film. You can check out our rundown here, which enveloped the Star Wars vets as well as franchise newcomers Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Max von Sydow, Domhnall Gleeson, John Boyega, and Daisy Ridley. But today's news, via StarWars.com, about Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie (oh yeah, and a leaked set photo, via TMZ, revealing a practical monster) calls for another round of introductions.
Lupita Nyong'o
Best known as: Patsey, the tortured slave of psychopathic plantation owner Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender) in 12 Years a Slave. The role won her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Age: 31.
In the new movie: Nyong'o's Star Wars character is anyone's guess at this point, but her tremendous command of scene-stealing gravity should land her a pretty meaty role. Perhaps a tad too old (even with the practice of actors playing years below their age) to portray a classmate of presumed central characters, the offspring of Han and Leia, and we'd guess too high profile a figure to take on a tertiary role like teacher or soldier. So we're leaning towards high-ranking officer in the plight against... whatever they're dealing with this time. As long as she has plenty of convicted diatribes and steady close-ups.
Gwendoline Christie
Best known as: Brienne of Tarth, swordsmith and Stark loyalist on Game of Thrones.
Age: 35 or 36.
In the new movie: Lightsabers. It's practically a given. Knowing how handy she is with a weapon on Game of Thrones, J.J. Abrams couldn't pass up the opportunity to give Christie Star Wars' answer to the sword. As such, this would land her in the Jedi Knight camp, though be she one of pure motive or corrupted soul is another question yet unanswered.
This Thing
Best known as: The weird picture you saw a bunch of people sharing on Twitter on Monday morning, worrying that another experiment from Long Island's animal testing facility had washed up on shore.
Age: Mid 40s?
In the new movie: The suggestion that Star Wars VII will be heavy with practical effects is an encouraging one. Our friend here will probably be relegated to transporting a hero or two (or maybe just cargo), but he likely won't be the film's lone hand-crafted creature.
Keep watch for more additions to the cast!

Forum Activity
I live in Coastal South Carolina and I love this site. Wish we could get the Southeast Coastal Forum more active. It can be very tricky to grow plants on the coast. The salt air makes a huge difference in how some plants grow. Any suggestions to increase the activity other than telling all our friends/family about it??
That does it. Those reply pics convinced us to move there. Incredible!!! Well, we thought of moving a couple wks ago (from Winston-Salem, NC area). My DH is a landscaper and I am a big-time gardener (perennials, herbs, veges). Here we come! We arrive in Calabash, NC Sep 3 and leave Sep 5. DH interviewing at a local golf course. Also looking at real estate. THanks for the inspiration!!! I know I can do a lot to get this forum moving by having numerous plant swaps once we are settled. Meanwhile, check out my trade list. It may not be the most useful plants for the area, but its a start.
Here is a link that might be useful: trade list link

Love Yogi teas, especially the green tea varieties, but unfortunately for me the green tea with goji berry tastes like drinking dirty bathwater lol! Love the citrus slim & kombucha though.
This is my favorite tea. I like the convenience of getting the tea delivered to my home. It's a hassle to go around town looking for it in stores.

Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media will fund and produce a movie about Mary Queen of Scots with Scarlett Johansson attached.
The financier and producer also said Thursday that Relativity has acquired the rights to the Tom Clancy fictional character John Kelly and will produce a movie version of the writer's bestseller Without Remorse. Screenplay is being written by Stuart Beattie.
In its four years as a film investor, Relativity said it has pumped roughly $4.5 billion into Hollywood studio slates or into specific films being made by independents. Kavanaugh described the individual production partners with whom the company is working as "our portfolio managers," stressing that he primarily wants to be in business with those producers who are adept at making profitable as well as entertaining movies.
The Mary Queen of Scots project will be produced by Kavanaugh as well as New Regency's Alexandra Milchan and Melanie Johanasson. Project will be penned by Jimmy McGovern and directed by John Curran. Capitol Films is handling worldwide rights here in Cannes.
The lovely Mycah has donated another batch of lovely Scarlett icons, this time related to Ghost World, Lost in Translation and her various event appearances. Check them out in the Fan Archive!
Ms. Johansson's publicist has informed me that despite the rumors currently circling online, there is no truth to Scarlett joining the cast of Roman Polanski's Pompeii.
Also, Mary Queen of Scots has been postponed so it will not be shot this summer/fall. Scarlett's next movie will be the Woody Allen Spanish Project, which is set to begin filming in July in Barcelona and Asturias. But before that, she will record her album next month.
As earlier reported, Scarlett Johansson went to the Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art honoring Poiret yesterday. She looked flirty in a modified Stella McCartney Fall 2007 dress and posed for the photographers with the designer herself and model Amber Valetta. The first pictures from the set have now been added to the gallery.
I have some amazing pictures to bring you today! I came across 38 additional pictures of Scarlett's visit to India (in February 2007) and they are nothing short of stunning to view. It really looks like it was an amazing, life-changing experience for her! Maria also scanned the May 3, 2007 issue of Vanity Fair, which talks about Scarlett's experience. Last but not least, I've added 100+ pictures from the Louis Vuitton LoVe Party.
According to Fashion Week Daily, Scarlett will attend Monday night's Costume Institute Gala, where she will be at Louis Vuitton's table. Other expected celebrities include The Black Dahlia co-stars Hilary Swank and Rose McGowan, Rosario Dawson and many more.
Scarlett Johansson arrived at the Louis Vuitton LoVe party yesterday evening in a metallic Louis Vuitton corset-inspired top and pleated skirt. To complete the ensemble, she paired the outfit with matching ring and earrings and a pair of silver pumps. The event was held to benefit Oxfam. 62 HQs have now been added to the gallery.
According to The New York Post, Scarlett will be hosting an event tonight:
That new Louis Vuitton president Daniel Lalonde and Scarlett Johansson are hosting a gala tonight to celebrate Vuitton's new "LoVe" collection at the Fifth Avenue store… That Carl Loewenson is the new chairman of the Javits Convention Center, as we first reported, but he's not leaving the Morrison & Foerster law firm. The Javits job is unpaid, and Loewenson is keeping his day gig… That a marketing campaign has been launched to dress some of the city's most beloved statues in custom-made N.Y. Rangers jerseys.
I have finally finished editing and uploading the Saturday Night Live videos. A total of eight clips can now be found here. Unfortunately my Windows Movie Maker is acting up so there is some strange picture delay in the beginning of the videos. I am sorry about that but I have no idea how to fix it and believe me, I tried several times.
Well, without futher ados – happy viewing!

I don't get how some are saying that this smudges but I guess we all have different reactions. I use this on my upper lid for a cat eye effect and it's the only liner i have found that actually stays put the entire day. I was traveling overseas on a 35 hour long trip that didn't allow for me to retouch my makeup and this was the only thing on my face that stayed put as if i had applied it minutes beforehand. This is the only liner i will use. If you're looking for it to stay in the waterline, this doesn't exactly work but then again, what does?

I love how easy it is to make a beautiful eyeliner look with this, the consistence is good, not to fluid or gelly. The only downside is that it smudges in eye corners after just 3 hours. I really love the packaging! It's so sophisticated and easy to organize and store.
I use mac #266 brush to apply this.
And always keep the cap on! It will dry easily if not!

I normally don't like taking an additional step when it comes using a brush for eyeliner, but I make the exception for this gel liner. This jet black color goes on exactly as the color looks in the pot and stays black; doesn't fade to gray as the day wears on. It's long lasting without smudging and a little goes a long way so this tiny pot has lasted me years. It's perfect for doing a cat eye or a really thick line on top as I can't find any liquid eyeliners that work well enough to create both of those looks.

Really good product but I tried the Maybelline version and for a quarter of the price found it to actually be better. I do prefer the mac brush that you can buy. This mac version also went dry fairly quickly which was pretty disappointing i.e after 2nd use so always had to wet the brush to make application easy. It did have good staying power as does the maybelline one. I usually prefer mac but on this occassion Maybelline's version is much cheaper and better.

I bought this after I have tried many other MAC Fluidlines. I only have funky colors, so I thought that I would try the black.
It goes on so fluid, as to why it has the name! I can get a much cleaner line with this product than I can with other gel liners. It wears really well on me. I don't have to touch this up during the day, which is really nice. It comes off easily with MAC's Pro Eye Makeup Remover, which is not an oil based remover.
Why I'm not re-purchasing this, and why I'm returning this, is because it looks gray in comparison to my other black gel liners. I applied this to one eye and then Maybelline's Gel Liner to the other, and the Maybelline one looked far more black!
Although I find the MAC gel liner to be a lot easier to apply than the Maybelline one, I am returning it. I wanted to buy a black liner, not a gray one! Hopefully MAC will add more pigment. I love the formula, just not the color.

I first bought Blacktrack about six years ago, and I've been loving it ever since. I always used to use liquid liner to do a cat eye until I started using this gel. I have never gone back because with a small angled brush (MAC 208) I can get the same effect. I've also used it smudged against the lash lines, and as a base with Carbon eyeshadow on top for a really dark smokey eye. I've put it on at six in the morning, and it stayed on all the way until three the next morning. So it stays really well. Once I ran out and my sister bought me the exact same thing from another brand, and it wasn't even close to being as good. This one is so creamy! Whether you get it out on the brush, or put it on the back of your hand first, make sure you close the lid all the way first so it doesn't dry out. Love Fluidline from MAC!

I really like the MAC gel liners, I have the colors dipdown and blacktrack. They are very pigmented and I do not need to go over my line multiple times to get even coverage. The formula is moist and you have some time to smudge it before it sets if that is the look you are going for. Even once it is set it can smudge a bit if rubbed, but I generally don't have problems with touching my eyes once made up. I use a Lancome angled liner brush to apply and find it easy to obtain a winged liner look. I use gel/potted liners often and they take some practice to master, but once you do they are great. I have dry skin and therefore do not have oily eyelids. Something worth mentioning is that I only use this on my top eyelid as I have problems with watery eyes. This liner will not stay on my bottom lash line without bleeding into my foundation. This is the reason for 3 lippies. To remedy this problem I use the MC prolong wear eyeliner for my lower lashes. Packaging is good, this liner could last you years which is why I gave it a decent rating for price. However, I said that I would not repurchase because I really feel that the Maybelline studio gel liner really rivals this and the price is better. MAC definitely has a better color selection though.

Red Seas: Ferdinand Smith and Radical Black Sailors in the United States and Jamaica
"The political connections of Harlem and the British West Indies have been crucial for at least a century, but until recent times almost invisible except to those intimately involved. We are now, at long last, beginning to get a better grasp, and Gerald Horne's Red Seasis a huge contribution to our understanding." - Paul Buhle,Monthly Review
"Horne's latest work is a forceful tract that all scholars writing about radical maritime politics, unionism, and race must take into account. Horne thus sets the standard for future scholars in this area." - Working USA
"In our own age of global commerce and U.S. hyperpower, what could be more instructive than the story of Ferdinand Smith, the Caribbean Communist who led a genuinely international, multicultural union in the years that birthed the American century? Gerald Horne's remarkable biography should be required reading for those who want to glimpse the potential power of that seafaring proletariat, in the last century as well as ours." - Nelson Lichtenstein, author of State of the Union: A Century of American Labor
A major achievement. It not only illuminates the maritime sources of 20th century working class black radicalism, but reveals its ongoing and complicated interplay with racism and class struggle on a global scale. - Joe W. Trotter, Jr., Carnegie Mellon University "A brilliant political biography--we are in Gerald Horne's debt for bringing to life a towering figure of the 20th century. A radical labor leader in the US and Jamaica who felt the sting of anticommunism on both shores, Ferdinand Smith also laid the groundwork for the modern civil rights movement." - Martha Biondi, author of To Stand and Fight: the Struggle for Civil Rights in Postwar New York City
"Exhaustively researched, this is a pioneering, insightful, sympathetic, and brilliant portrait of the life of Ferdinand Smith. A wonderful book." - Colin Palmer, Dodge Professor of History, Princeton University
During the heyday of the U.S. and international labor movements in the 1930s and 1940s, Ferdinand Smith, the Jamaican-born co-founder and second-in-command of the National Maritime Union (NMU), stands out as one of the most- if not the most- powerful black labor leaders in the United States. Smith's active membership in the Communist Party, however, coupled with his bold labor radicalism and shaky immigration status, brought him under continual surveillance by U.S. authorities, especially during the Red Scare in the 1950s. Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he continued his radical labor and political organizing until his death in 1961. Gerald Horne draws on Smith's life to make insightful connections between labor radicalism and the Civil Rights Movement- demonstrating that the gains of the latter were propelled by the former and undermined by anticommunism. Moreover,Red Seasuncovers the little-known experiences of black sailors and their contribution to the struggle for labor and civil rights, the history of the

Hot on the heels of groundbreaking product announcements at CES, Head Monster Noel Lee sets his sights on the company's next big step by recruiting the expertise of cultural icon Swizz Beatz. Swizz will join Monster as a member of the company's executive board after purchasing a co-ownership stake in the company. Noel Lee, who created the Beats by Dr. Dre® headphone sound, knew that creating the next big cultural movement in consumer electronics would not be easy, so he has called on Swizz's creative genius to help take the company to the next level.
Noel Lee and Swizz Beatz (Photo: Business Wire)
Noel Lee says, "The products that we have planned are revolutionary in technology, sound, and style. We need the talents and reach of Swizz to help bring these products to life in the eyes of the consumer."
Renowned cultural icon, recording artist, record producer, DJ, fashion designer and artist Swizz Beatz will bring all of his expertise, passion and unique insight in helping Monster continue its innovation, development and marketing of entertainment products in today's fast-changing music and entertainment culture. Swizz will play an integral role in designing the company's strategy and planning, expanding the Monster brand with partnerships across the globe, much like he's recently done with the Reebok brand.
Swizz Beatz noted: "Monster has always been a go-to name for music electronics as well as a big part of music culture. Under the leadership of Noel Lee, who is a true genius, the company has literally been changing the way people listen to music for over 30 years. They built an empire, and my job will be to push the envelope – turn the lights of the castle up really bright and help Monster take its next big step forward. There will be some very exciting things happening in the year ahead, so stay tuned!"
Monster was founded over 30 years ago by Head Monster Noel Lee, who was recently honored with the prestigious Plus X Award®: Lifetime Achievement Award, as a company dedicated to creating products that enhance the sound quality of music. The company engineered the sound of the acclaimed Beats by Dr. Dre® headphones, and has become the world's leading manufacturer of high-performance, sonically superior headphones, all of which feature the company's Pure Monster Sound™. Monster is also the world's leading manufacturer of advanced connectivity solutions for high-performance home entertainment, audio, home cinema, computer and gaming as well as a leading innovator in the field of mobile accessories and professional audio. The company also provides high-performance AC power line conditioning and protection products for audio/video systems, as well as energy-saving power products. Monster continues to lead in innovation with over 300 U.S. and international patents and dozens pending, offering more than 4,000 products in over 134 countries worldwide.
With over 14 years of creating music for some of the biggest musicians in music history, Swizz has contributed to the sale of over 280 million records in just the US alone, working with the likes of Jay-Z, DMX, Beyonce, Kanye West, and Bono to name a few. In addition to several guest appearances and production credits, Swizz dropped his own album One Man Band Man in 2007. Swizz's latest single "Everyday Birthday" was released in November 2012. The single, which was produced by Swizz and Jukebox, also features Chris Brown and Ludacris and was accompanied by a video shot over a 3 day period in Cannes. In an ever-changing music industry, Swizz has deferred from the regular album release schedule and instead chosen to release a series of what he has coined "Memorable Moments," singles featuring various other artists released with accompanying music videos and other visuals. Swizz has also lent his creative contributions to the likes of global brands such as Reebok (Vice President - Sports Style Marketing, Design, and Brand Music Development) and Lotus Cars (Vice President of Design & Global Marketing). Swizz is also the 1st producer-in residence at New York University's Clive Davis' Recorded School of Music and worked with Christian Louboutin on a ground-breaking music collaboration, a cabaret show called Feu, which debuted in Paris this past March. Swizz's latest music venture is his new partnership with O&Media of Korea, in which his focus will be bridging the K-Pop music scene with Western music culture. Swizz also recently collaborated with The New York Knicks and created their 2013 theme song. When not creating music, Swizz is an avid art collector and painter whose goal is to inspire new artists around the world to express themselves and is working on opening his own international "new artist" art gallery. He is also a philanthropist who is involved in many charities and recently served as the first Global Ambassador for New York City's Health and Hospitals Corporation.
