Ehhh...not sure what I think of this to be honest. I was matched with the shade Real Sand for my NC20 yellow/golden undertoned skin. The colour was not good at all - made my face look grey. Tender Rose was too pink and the shade above Real Sand was too orange. I'm not impressed with the colour range.
I have normal/combo sensitive skin, and despite the SA prepping my face with a moisturiser and hydrating primer beforehand, this mineral powder still managed to look rather cakey and accentuanted dry flakes that I didn't even know I had. I was anticipating the 'creamy' finish that some reviews have raved about, but all I got was dryness. It was a matte finish and did not get oily or greasy throughout the day, and the staying power was very good aswell. It did not make the pores on my nose look obvious, but I couldn't get over the cakiness. Thinking it was just the way the SA applied it, I tried myself at home and it was a little better but still showed some flakes and I didn't get the creamy finish. It looked like I was wearing a mask.
My skin gets a little itchy when I wear this, especially on my chin and cheeks. Why do they still insist on using bismuth in so many mineral foundations?! It irritates so many people and I am one of them.
Considering this powder was £30 for a mediocre product, I am returning it tomorrow. Bad colour range, bad finish on the skin and itchy face. Not my idea of a nice foundation.

Sooo much better than BE! I need mineral makeup since my skin type is so problematic (acne-prone, inflammed, hyperpigmentation). I've tried BE off and on through the years, thinking it should work for me, but it never does. Then I discovered LM - it isn't going to work miracles, but it covers well enough, the packaging is great, and the color match totally works. The best mineral makeup out there IMHO!

This is the best mineral powder foundation I have ever tried and I have tried alot! This powder has a luminous look to it which I love. ( I hated the powdery look I got from the maybelline and LÓreal mineral powders). This has great coverage as well. It is easy to belnd into the skin for a very natural light coverage (Elizabeth Ardens mineral did this very well although I wasnt able to build it up to a medium coverage. No matter how much powder I used). It is also really easy to build it up to a heavier coverage although because it is a powder it is very noticable that you are wearing makeup and alot of it. As opposed to liquids that tend to mesh better with the skin. I went through a whole jar of this and then I bought another one but decided to try out the NARS Sheer Glow foundation. The NARS sheer glow is much better for my skin. But I will keep this one around for those really hot hot days in Australia where the moment you put on a liquid you feel like it melts off. The built in SPF15 is also a bonus!

Love! I am finishing my second tub. I haven't had good skin for most of my life, in fact sometimes I get infected by big cystic pimples. On my bad skin days, I conceal my pimples with LM Flawless Fix pencil (read my review!), and then top it off with LM Mineral Powder.
I like that it helps set off my face wonderfully well. I use it above the Clinique SPF40 Sheer sunblock. And I have oily skin, but using this mattes my face really well. I have to touch up only at the end of the day, before I head from the office to dinner.
However I won't be getting a third tub soon, because I am relocating, there is winter where I am heading to, and my skin can get pretty dry, so I will be changing to a liquid foundation instead.

I actually purchased the Mineral set at Sephora that comes with the mineral powder, illuminating powder, face brush, concealer, concealer brush, the mineral powder (in a tube) and a bag to put it all in for $65.
The main reason I like this product is because I have oily skin and this keeps me matte all day. It looks natural and feels light. I've tried bare essentuals and it was too messy for me. Somehow, this mineral makeup isn't messy for me at all. I guess I just pour a little at a time into the cover. I think the BE one would pour out a lot of powder really quickly and it was difficult to control.
After using the product for a while, I felt like my skin started looking dull and not smooth. I thought it might be from this makeup. Then I purchased the Clarisonic Mia and boy does it make a difference on my skin. The makeup goes on a lot nicer. I guess I wasn't cleaning my skin good enough.
Overall, I wish the mineral makeup gave a bit more coverage but it's nice that the set comes with concealer that really blends in well. The biggest reason for me to buy this product again is because of the oil control... which is also due to the awesome primer.

I am a fan of mineral powder foundations and I've tried a LOT of them. This loose powder, by Laura Mercier, has to be one of the best of the bunch. I was never much of a fan of loose powders, preferring pressed minerals because they are less messy to work with and especially for tossing into your purse or for travelling. But the clever packaging of this product eliminates the down-side of other loose powders.
I have the shade "Real Sand" and it is an excellent match and really evens out my skin tone perfectly. This powder leaves my skin looking beautiful without a made up look. It covers imperfections and broken capillaries very well and it is quick and easy to apply. I have several pretty good liquid foundations but to get a finished face that looks both flawless AND natural takes me a lot of time if I'm using a liquid foundation and even then, it sometimes eludes me and my skin looks WORSE with foundation than without it. Not so with this wonderful product...I get great looking skin that also looks like I am naturally blessed with perfect skin and I get it quickly and easily. I apply and buff with a flat topped kabuki brush and, voila....perfect skin (and some sun protection too!)
I think I truly have found my perfect foundation.

I use the color "Real Sand" and it's perfect for my skin color. I have fair Asian skin. The powder is finely milled so it goes smooth on my skin. It is great for people who just want to cover up some mild acne and skin imperfection but it doesn't cover hyper-pigmentation very well or other more major skin imperfections. It doesn't cause breakouts as long as you wash the makeup off at the end of the say. 40 dollars for it is high but it is expected since it is a high end product.

I like foundation quite alot but my tendency is to reach for a liquid instead especially because i have dry skin. In terms of coverage, the mineral powder does much better than I anticipated but if I happen to have dry patches that day, the foundation will tend to cling to them just a little bit, enough to annoy me slightly. If my skin is good however, this performs really well. For reference, my skin is combination during summer and dry in winter. It has a bit of a creamy finish despite being powder, which i absolutely love and is easy to blend, therefore looking very natural. I haven't tried the laura mercier mineral primer underneath but I use clarins instant smooth perfecting touch and it works quite well. As I consider this to be a more summer foundation, I am also quite curious to see how it performs after swimming or sweating excessively. For the few weeks that I have used this, it has been quite temperate, cool weather and I haven't experienced any streaking or patches forming even after 6+ hours.
Edit: I have used this throughout the summer and autumn and it has been perfect, i never reach for any other foundation because i love the feel of this on my skin and the finish is the best i have ever seen. People comment on my 'perfect skin' even though it definately is not perfect! It does however get slightly dewy after a few hours in really hot weather so i will need to powder my t-zone 2-3 times during the day and occasionally i will spray skindinavia on in the morning if i really need it to stay. My favourite summer routine is to mix it with Jane iredale Pure pressed base because i barely have to powder all day, maybe once. During autumn i found it worked perfectly on its own or with a touch of jane iredale. However right now it starting winter and my skin has gotten significantly drier, as it does, and so i use this by itself with a good layer of clarins instant smooth perfecting touch underneath. It works fairly well for now but i can see myself needing to use liquid in the near future which i am surprisingly dreading. I love this foundation to bits!
2nd edit: Its been a while since i reviewed this and my skin has somehow become a lot oiler than it used to be, i'm still dry in winter but in summer i tend to get really oily. So this has now become a winter-only foundation which is fine, i think its a bit hard to expected foundation or skincare to be the perfect product all year round.

This product is seriously a Godsend! I have normal skin that can be on the dry side depending on the weather and products I use. I just about never get oily, and I have pretty good skin in general. I do have some slight uneven skin tone and spots here and there, and redness around my nose. This mineral powder is perfect for me! It's the only powder I've found that actually gives you a dewy glow instead of making your skin look fake, matte, and powdery/cakey! I don't know how Laura Mercier pulled it off, but she did. It has buildable coverage (it can give just as much coverage as my liquid foundations from Nars & Makeup Forever if you so desire) and it makes your skin look beautiful and naturally flawless! I use it every day now with a kabuki brush. I apply a little amount so that my skin still shows through. It just gives my face a very glowy, even look. This beats using a regular face powder (like my MAC MSFN, which is what I used to use daily) because it has more coverage yet it looks more natural because it doesn't get powdery nearly as easily. It's also better for everyday use than liquid foundation because it has fewer ingredients and is much healthier for your skin. I love my Nars Sheer Glow but I save it only for special events because I find it doesn't look great after a long day. This Laura Mercier powder has great staying power and doesn't turn blotchy or uneven on your skin at the end of the day. I cannot express how much I love this mineral powder; I gave up on mineral makeup after trying Everyday Minerals and Bare Minerals (they were too dry and matte-looking for my taste), but this LM powder beats them both hands-down. My HG powder foundation for everyday use! I have a feeling I'll be using this for the rest of my life.

Okay, let me start by saying that I am so NOT a fan of most mineral powder makeup in general; it's messy, it accentuates my pores, it looks cakey and chalky and heavy and just gross. This mineral makeup changed my mind. It is messy, yes, (took off one lippie for that) but it also has a sifter thing-y that you can close for when you travel---pretty clever, Laura! As for the color match, mine is perfect: Rich Vanilla (for reference, I wear LM Oil-Free foundation in Vanilla Beige and MAC Studio Finish in NC35) The finish is sublimely gorgeous; luminous, but not shiny, covers everything, but not too heavy. No fragrance (I hate fragrance) and it has SPF 15. I get compliments when I wear this makeup; friends have told me my skin just looks so pretty and smooth and luminous (yes, they used the word 'luminous'!) I feel it is worth shelling out the money for. And it has lasted me, like, a year and a half. I buff it on with a kabuki brush then, go through with a makeup sponge and work it in on and around my nose, hairline and chin. It goes on well over Smashbox PhotoFinish primer, too- just make sure you let the primer dry first. It doesn't control oil very well, but nothing does; I've got about 25 years of foundation-wearing experience to know that! If you want it more matte, you can dust a light, matte loose powder on top. (I sometimes do that with LM Loose Powder, but not always) So if you want to try mineral makeup, but don't like Bare Escentuals or some of the others, like me, you may want to give this one a try!

Syrian rebels say senior al-Qaida fighter killed
BEIRUT (AP) — Two suicide bombers killed a senior al-Qaida operative on Sunday, blowing themselves up inside the militant leader's compound in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, rebels and activists said.
The killing of Abu Khaled al-Suri, who rebels said was serving as al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri's representative in Syria, falls against the backdrop of bloody rebel infighting between an al-Qaida-breakaway group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and an array of ultraconservative and more moderate opposition fighters.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Sunday's assassination, but rebels quickly accused the Islamic State. Al-Suri had been critical of the group, reportedly blaming it for the internecine conflict among rebels that has killed thousands of people across northern Syria since it began in early January.
If an Islamic State role in al-Suri's death is confirmed, it could further complicate efforts to resolve the infighting, which has undermined rebel efforts to oust President Bashar Assad in Syria's nearly 3-year civil war. Since the rebel-on-rebel clashes began, government forces have chipped away at opposition-held areas, including around Aleppo.
A native Syrian with longstanding ties to al-Qaida, al-Suri was a co-founder of Ahrar al-Sham, a prominent, hard-line rebel group in Syria that is part of a powerful alliance of seven groups known as the Islamic Front.
Akram al-Halabi, a spokesman for the Islamic Front, described al-Suri as "a big figure in global jihad," and said he was appointed by al-Zawahri last year to mediate a dispute between the two al-Qaida affiliates in Syria: the Islamic State and the Nusra Front.
Speaking via Skype, Al-Halabi said al-Suri had criticized the Islamic State for its antagonistic approach toward other rebel factions. He said rebels believe the Islamic State, which al-Qaida publicly disowned earlier this month, was behind Sunday's bombing.
"The first fingers of blame point to the State," al-Halabi said. "Unfortunately this is going to make the infighting worse."
He did not provide any evidence to support his assertion that the Islamic State had a hand in al-Suri's killing.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said two others were also killed in the attack, which it attributed to the Islamic State. The Observatory obtains its information from a network of activists on the ground.
Al-Suri had long been on the radar of Western intelligence agencies. In 2002, Spanish officials described al-Suri, whose real name is Mohamed Bahaiah, as the courier for the late terrorist leader Osama bin Laden between Afghanistan and Europe.
Islamic extremists have emerged as a powerful force in Syria's civil war. The rise to prominence of hard-line Islamic militants like al-Suri has sent jitters through Western capitals, and dampened enthusiasm for the anti-Assad opposition.
Charles Lister, an analyst with the Brookings Doha Center, said al-Suri's activities in Syria had been a source of concern for the U.S. and its allies.
"He is essentially a core al-Qaida veteran who almost certainly ... had extensive, close relations with (Osama) bin Laden," and other senior leaders, Lister said. "The fact that he had such a high position in Ahrar al-Sham, and confirmed it himself, his al-Qaida history — it made elements in the U.S. administration potentially consider Ahrar al-Sham as a terrorist organization."

OTHER USELESS INFORMATION: I live in Arizona (basically the hottest state in America) and have three cats and two dogs, I have been through three different Xbox 360s and only been through two PlayStation 3s. I love cheese but I hate fish (smell doesn't help either), I'm a wexican as my friend likes to call me. I'm a bookwork and its usually hard for me to put down a book once I start reading it. I don't have a favorite type of genre, I like everything. I don't mind a game with bad graphics but It must have a good story line for me to enjoy it. I am a huge fangirl! I absolutely ADORE Bagginshield, even have a shirt to support it!
If I think a story of mine is going no where I'll delete it or if i have lost my inspiration I will delete it. I mostly only do stories with an Oc because I love writing them and I don't really enjoy doing other types. I love reviews!! I don't RP, I'm horrible at it .-.
I LOVE The Phantom of the Opera! Ramin Karimloo is my favorite Phantom followed closely by John Owen-Jones, Colm Wilkinson, and Norm Lewis :) Rebecca Caine is probably my favorite Christine with Sierra Boggess, Rachel Barrel, and Lisa Vroman close behind! I don't really have a favorite Raoul other then Steve Barton... His voice is Jesus...
I write for a lot of different fandoms (mostly Naruto at the moment) so if you have any requests, feel free to ask. I can't promise that I'll do it but I will try my best to at least attempt it!
And lastly... Gaara :3
About Heroine of Legend: Well, I have lost all my inspiration for this story (its been gone since june) and I know it wasn't going to get anywhere so I have deleted it off this account. I was originally going to revise it and make it better before continuing it but that never happened either since I just didn't have any inspiration left. So I decided that simply taking it off was for the best as to not get anyones hopes up! Now, I will eventually write another Legend of Zelda story with Fallon in it as the main OC but it will take place in either Skyward Sword or Ocarina of Time- but that won't happen for a long while. I apologize to anyone who was really hoping for the continuation of the story I just couldn't continue.
The Snow's music: This story is currently going through revisions but I will continue to update with new chapters! It may not be regularly due to a writer's block that I am slowly getting out of and other personal things. I may be combining previous chapters together to make them longer so if it looks like the story is loosing chapters, you know why!

Besting the global average of 60KG per capita of paper usage, the UAE's plans for a green living won't get anywhere if paper use remains unchecked, says Precious de Leon.
September 19, 2011 3:31 by Precious de Leon
So according to Gulf News, the UAE registers one of the highest paper consumption in the world at 200kg per capita.
The figure was released during the opening of Paper Arabia 2011. Unsure as to how to tell this story without sounding like it is glorifying the use of paper, GN did the safe thing and just told the story matter-of-factly: "It's 200KG in UAE while in most developed countries it doesn't event reach 100KG. So there." Well at least they didn't say there was a boom in the paper industry and that it was expected to grow. At least.
Reading this story actually rings so many alarm bells. Not only are we consuming a gigantic amount of paper for such a tiny country, that number is also increasing at up to 6 percent a year.
Did I miss the memo that the country was going for some kind of world record at paper consumption?
Sure, we're on par with Italy and Spain and both these countries' consumption figures are also worrying considering that the global average is 60kg per capita, according to the Indonesian Pulp and Paper Association. India registers 9kg. In the meantime there are some countries in Europe that are shrinking their rate of consumption.
So what can be done? Recycle. It's not just for hippies anymore. It's serious business to recycle. Everyone needs to get involved. And, lastly, for the people who already have the intention of saving on paper, unfortunately, systems just aren't in place yet to allow them to live a paperless life. But we're sure someone is thinking about this. Hopefully things will be implemented soon.
With Kipp being a digital-only title, you can bet our paper consumption is down to a minimum. No printing, most everything in digital. Don't you think this is a concern? What do you think your office can do to lessen their paper consumption?

A University of Kentucky cheerleader was injured in a fall late in the fourth quarter of the Wildcats' 59-14 victory over Tennessee-Martin on Saturday.
Details weren't immediately available about the cheerleader's condition. Her fall brought a hush over the crowd, and applause slowly grew as medical personnel stabilized the woman's head and neck and she was placed her on a board for transport to a hospital.
The cheerleader lay motionless for several moments before flashing the thumbs-up as she was carted out of Commonwealth Stadium.

It's been more than a month since the Saints were eliminated from playoff contention. Now 36, Drew Brees can only hope the franchise learns from its mistakes and turns things around before it's too late for him.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — On Sunday, an appropriate bow will be put on the 2014 NFL season when the Seahawks and Patriots meet in Super Bowl XLIX. It's best on best, from the players to the head coaches, and that feels right.
But before we file one of the league's strangest seasons away for posterity, we can't let one of the most vexing questions go quietly into the night: What the heck happened to the Saints? Drew Brees still hasn't quite wrapped his head around it.
"It was my most frustrating season," said Brees, walking out of the losing Team Carter locker room at the Pro Bowl on Sunday night. "You never want to go 7-9. It's no fun."

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — J.J. Watt danced, Jimmy Graham dunked, Odell Beckham Jr. dazzled.
The Pro Bowl in the desert was all about having a good time.
Few moved very fast, no one flattened a quarterback and there were no bone-jarring hits in the gentle, friendly version of football played Sunday.
Even in a game dominated by offense, Watt was the star.
The Texans defensive end intercepted a pass, recovered a fumble and led the crowd in dances during commercial breaks.
Team Irvin defeated 32-28 Watt's Team Carter, but the score doesn't matter in the NFL's all-star game. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, no one more so than Watt, moving to the music while the cheerleaders danced.

MOBILE, Ala. – Most of the NFL world is in this coastal town for the week of Senior Bowl practices, and you might be surprised to learn that the Patriots' football scandal is not exactly huge news.
That's not to say people aren't interested.
I talked with team power brokers—general managers, head coaches and coordinators—as well as position coaches and others about the situation, and I got a mixed bag of opinions.
"Of course it's a big deal," said a defensive coordinator. "You go try to throw a ball in wet conditions that is fully inflated, and then throw one that has less air. Of course you're going to get a better grip. It's a definite advantage. And look which team it is. Not a surprise."

So excited for the 2015 Pro Bowl that you can hardly stand it? Well, pretend that you are for five minutes and check out the jerseys (some of) the NFL's best will be wearing in Sunday's all-star game.
Nike debuted its Elite 51 Pro Bowl Uniform yesterday, and there's a lot that looks familiar. The numbering looks a bit like Tampa Bay's new scheme (though a lot less digital), while the general vibe is very much Oregon Ducks (especially the gray unis). And then there's the fluorescent green — excuse me, Volt — which makes its kit resemble one of the NHL's recently-unveiled All-Star Game sweaters. (Fashion pro tip: Volt is so in this season!)

SEATTLE — Despite all their success, their Super Bowl victories and the host of awards, honors and accolades that have come their way, somehow Russell Wilson and Tom Brady have nurtured and maintained — almost religiously so — the chips on their shoulders that seems to both sustain and drive them.
You want the Super Bowl matchup that deserves our full attention two weeks from now in the Arizona desert, when the 49th edition of the NFL's biggest game unfolds at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale? How about Wilson against Brady, in a youth versus experience showdown of quarterbacks who still burn with the same fire that was started on their respective draft weekends? Has there ever been two more glaring, more overlooked quarterback draft prospects than Brady, the poster child for such things, and Wilson, the most recent example of how badly the NFL can botch evaluations?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – What was the highlight of the Patriots' 45-7 AFC Championship win over the Colts Sunday? Was it when the Patriots didn't need to onside kick at the end of the game? Or when they didn't need the opposing coach to botch the game? Or when the star quarterback on the other side ran around, because he is perfectly healthy, and still couldn't beat them?
Perhaps it happened Friday. Practice was over. Patriots owner Robert Kraft stumbled upon a ritual that has grown, week by week, since New England defensive lineman Sealver Siliga introduced it last year. Patriots players of Polynesian descent gather to drink a traditional ceremonial drink made from the kava root.
"There were like 18 of them in the corner," Kraft said Sunday night, in a locker room atmosphere that felt like a prelude to the real celebration in Arizona in two weeks. "And it was late afternoon. They were just joshing around and having fun. It was really special. I remember saying to Bill [Belichick]: 'I don't remember guys just hanging out and doing that on a Friday afternoon,' which is nice. They enjoy each other's company and they trust each other...
"There is a special karma with this team that I felt in training camp. I mentioned it to friends."

Yesterday's NFC and AFC Championship games were both historic — and not just because the Seahawks and Patriots earned a trip to Super Bowl XLIX.
In the first game, Seattle was down 16-0 to the Green Bay Packers at halftime. Going into the fourth quarter, the Packers were up 16-7 before tacking on a field goal to take a 19-7 lead. Seahawks quarterback had an abysmal day up that point, throwing three interceptions and putting up woeful numbers. He tossed another pick with less than six minutes left in the game, which should have sealed the win for Green Bay. But Seattle's D came up big, getting the ball back into the hands of Wilson and running back Marshawn Lynch. They put together a 69-yard, 1:43-long touchdown drive to pull Seattle within five. And then on the ensuing onside kick, got the ball back, scored another touchdown, tacked on a two-point conversion, and took the lead, 22-19, with a 1:25 left in the game. The Seahawks scored 15 points in 44 seconds. Green Bay tied it with a field goal late, but in overtime Wilson was perfect and capped off his role reversal from goat to hero with a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse. Seattle won, 28-22, and did it by making the biggest comeback in championship game history.
If the NFC title game was a nail-biter, the AFC Championship was a bloodbath. The Indianapolis Colts traveled to New England to face the Patriots, and after stopping the Pats on their first drive the Colts offense was set to take the field. But Josh Cribbs muffed it, losing the ball in the rain or the lights. New England recovered with great field position, and promptly scored. The Patriots added another touchdown before the end of the first quarter, the Colts answered with one of their own, before New England kicked a field goal and went into halftime up 17-7. And then the second half started. New England scored 21 points in the third and scored another TD in the fourth to decimate the Colts, 45-7. That's an impressive way to head into the Super Bowl, and, of course, quarterback Tom Brady was a huge part of it. He threw for 226 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. And while he earned a sixth trip to the dance, he left the AFC title game with another personal record: Most Postseason Passing Yards. Brady now has 7,017, breaking Peyton Manning's previous record of 6,800.
What does that all mean for the Super Bowl? Probably nothing! But both games were a great way appetizer for the main course: Super Bowl XLIX, which will be played in Arizona on February 8. Before we turn our attention to that game, though, let's look back at some of the best moments of the NFL's championship weekend!

Time past I really wrote a short article when it comes to whilst the New mexico Temperature probably have several of the just about all pattern NBA game enthusiasts through the NBA, I would not believe the bank from your NBA finals this approach NBA period.Once the resolute acquire to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the manner in which LeBron James took care of the way itcheap basketball jerseysis hence expertly, we will commenced discovering prognosticators chat about the very NBA party switching all of the area and now they're enroute to the Tournament.Any skill set is surely furthermore there for fulfillment however , there are challenges that can really need to be handled sometimes while in the NBA spring. There are Dwyane Go, period Twenty eight, LeBron James, age 25 and even Frank Bosh, age group 27, usually are high-quality together with gifted NBA avid gamers unfortunately all of them have actually been explained to almost lives that they will be this man.
Genuinely heady stuff for little ones as well as over 16 who seem to be to be inspired to mix his egos plus join hands just for a commonplace perform.Nowadays mainly because the NBA year or so actually starts to happen, those self same brought on by happen to be revealing to individuals quite possibly "studs" have been letting them know they need to be a whole lot more tense and additionally planning on your chances to their very own highlites together withnba basketball jerseysvaccines. While they look up their put in place typically the NBA class, they'll need to his or her's NBA golf game most of your aplomb. That should take some time as it is far from something which is usually revised instantaneously.A new NBA crew contains had trouble leaving any checkpoint as being the trio search for his or her's careers throughout the NBA staff. Sort is going to be using "his NBA team", Lebron james is among the a large percentage of rule NBA athletes from the team and Bosh is among preferred big gentlemen while in the category.
I do believe they may implement couple of things: complete the 2009-2010 season and acquire most of the guru terminated. Another thing I got spotted by having a great number of little sports stars, mainly because definitely suffer from bringing duty. Making use of work is part of your respective getting older approach along with reforming position. Right away structured be the NBA competitors mistake that they can be not likely participating together again maybeAs well as happen to be looked over to bring theseon the subject of ticket or just defense.

"Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" is the #1 Country Dance Club Hit of 2011!
Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton topped the list of dance club hits in 2011, according to the Marco Club ConnectionÆs 8th annual ranking of Country dance favorites.
Every December, the Nashville-based company surveys a panel of nearly 250 club owners, DJs and dance instructors from across the country to compile its rankings. Overall votes by the panel determine each songÆs placement on the list.
ōThe added emphasis on dance in the music videos for this yearÆs top club hits was hugely popular with club DJs and choreographers,ö says Club Connection Manager of Venue Marketing, Bobbe Morhiser. ōBy featuring dancers and dance clubs in the videos, these records leave a lasting connection with fans that dancing and Country music are a natural match.ö
The 2011 Marco Club Connection Top Ten Country Dance Club Hits are:
1. Luke Bryan - ōCountry Girl (Shake It For Me)ö
2. Blake Shelton - ōFootlooseö
3. Big & Rich - ōFake IDö
4. Blake Shelton - ōHoney Beeö
5. Gloriana - ōWanna Take You Homeö
6. Billy Currington - ōLove Done Goneö
7. Jason Aldean - ōDirt Road Anthemö
8. Dierks Bentley - ōAm I The Only Oneö
9. The Lacs - ōKickinÆ Up Mudö
10. Chris Young - ōYouö
ōWe are thrilled that æCountry Girl (Shake It For Me)Æ was selected as the No. 1 dance song of the year,ö says Capitol/EMI Records Director of Media and Public Relations, Taryn Pray. ōThis single took Luke Bryan to the next level, and itÆs great to have the recognition of the dance club community.ö

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Repurpose a children's book to make the Books in Silhouette wall art and decor to hang in your child's room or your study. This whimsical framed wall art from Mark Montano and Krylon is a charming, nostalgic look at literature.
- Krylon® Fusion for Plastic® (#2331)
- Dark paper that contrasts the spray paint (to mat your project)
- Frame
- Elmer's Glue Stick
- Childrens' book with nice images (I used illustrations from a coy of Mother Goose)
- Copy machine
- Scissors
- X-Acto knife
- Make a black and white copy of the image you want to turn in to a silhouette.
- Carefully cut out the copy with scissors and your craft knife, making sure to get as much detail as you possibly can.
- Lightly spray paint the images with Krylon spray paint. You will need to apply several coats. Be patient and let the coats dry in between coats.
- Cut your dark background paper to fit inside your frame.
- Dab the printed side (not the painted side) of the silhouette with your glue stick and place your image on your dark background.
- Frame your artwork and enjoy.
Tip: Remember that strong outline is the key to having an interesting silhouette. Look for recognizable shapes or strong profiles.

Letter: Another way
Henry S. Kolesinski, Naples
Another way
Re: Stanley Tralin's May 17 letter, "Question arises," presented a cogent description of the recent JPMorgan Chase $2-plus billion financial debacle.
He speculated that financial institutions would not pursue high-risk ventures (derivatives, etc.) if they did not have the U.S. government's safety net in place. There also was a veiled comment about eliminating legislation.
One would suspect Tralin was referring to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). If so, he is absolutely right! After the failure of many banks, the FDIC was created in 1933 to provide confidence in our banking system by insuring deposits using U.S. taxpayers' money. In hindsight, it has created the greed problems we experience today.
The real question is, in a truly capitalistic society, why should the government (U.S. citizens) protect any free enterprise business?
There is a way forward. For starters, eliminate the FDIC! Let individuals decide where they want to put their money and assess whatever risk involved. No protection!
Another issue is the government (Federal Reserve) providing zero interest money to banks to be used in whatever way they want. Sick!
Ron Paul hit the nail on the head. To those who want smaller government and less regulation (interference) in their lives, eliminating both of the above agencies is a step in the right direction and will temper the avarice exhibited by the likes of Wall Street.

DANCE AND DIASPORA Features Works by Jill Parker and Tania Santiago at ODC, 2/22-23
ODC Theater exists to empower and develop innovative artists. It participates in the creation of new works through commissioning, presenting, mentorship and space access; it develops informed, engaged and committed audiences; and advocates for the performing arts as an essential component to the economic and cultural development of our community. The Theater is the site of over 120 performances a year involving nearly 1,000 local, regional, national and International Artists.
Since 1976, ODC Theater has been the mobilizing force behind countless San Francisco artists and the foothold for national and international touring artists seeking debut in the Bay Area. The Theater, founded by Brenda Way, then under the leadership of Rob Bailis for nearly a decade, and currently under the direction of Christy Bolingbroke, has earned its place as a cultural incubator by dedicating itself to creative change-makers, those leaders who give our region its unmistakable definition and flare. Nationally known artists Spaulding Gray, Diamanda Galas, Molissa Fenley, Bill T. Jones, Eiko & Koma, Ronald K.
