Horse of the Year Curlin arrived in Dubai the evening of Feb. 17 with "pep in his step," in the words of assistant trainer Scott Blasi, and seems eager to begin an assault on Cigar's all-time earnings record with two starts at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse topped by the $6-million Dubai World Cup (UAE-I) March 29.

The New York Racing Association has unveiled its logo for the 140th running of the Belmont Stakes (gr. I). "This year's Belmont Stakes logo pays tribute to Rags to Riches, the first filly to win the third leg of the Triple Crown in 102 years," said Gavin Landry, NYRA's senior vice president of sales and market development. "With the 2008 logo, we hope to establish the new tradition of honoring the previous year's Belmont Stakes winner by incorporating the owner's colors into the next year's event logo."

Halo Najib, one of Zayat Stables' 11 Triple Crown nominees, swung out four wide heading into the stretch and then rolled to a 2 3/4-length victory in the $150,000 colts and geldings division of the Darely OBS Championship Stakes Monday afternoon in Central Florida. Ridden by Kent Desormeaux, the 3-year-old chestnut son of Halo's Image notched his second career victory, remaining undefeated on synthetic surfaces.

Surf Cat is still seeking his first grade I win. He came closest when beaten by a head in last year's Triple Bend Handicap (gr. I) by Bilo at Hollywood Park. His second San Carlos win, worth $90,000, increased the Kentucky-bred Sir Cat horse's earnings to $795,420. The always consistent dark bay has an overall record of 8-5-1 in 16 starts. He won for the first time in four tries on a synthetic surface.

Rumpelfilter aka Rumpelfiler Heavy Industries is a musical lego-brick from northern Italy.
It has no fixed shape, location, nor structure, but a clear processing scheme. It mainly works with pre-existent sound materials, found footage and collected interviews, placing things out of context and watching them mutate. RHI started as an evolution of the Mr.Ravenwing project in 2000, the llegacy of hip hop still lying heavy on its shoulders, producing mainly scores for ducumentary films and videos.

Summer11-Skizzy Mars0
Happy Tuesday everybody! For those of you that had yesterday off, I hope you accomplished everything you wanted to do! Today I am bringing you a brand new song from one of my favorite up and coming rappers, Skizzy Mars. The track is called Summer11 and is quite catchy. The song begins with a Daft Punk inspired background and soon dives into Skizzy's rap. What I love about Skizzy is that his songs are upbeat and enjoyable at anytime of the day while you are doing any task. I hope the new tracks keep coming! What do you guys think of Skizzy? Do you like his style? Does he remind you of another rapper?

Jakubi – Can't Afford It All1
I have been spending my Sunday relaxing to the cross of Daft Punk with Shwayze today! To me, those two artists are part of what you hear when you listen to Jakubi, the Hip Hop group from Melbourne, Australia. They actually credit Jamiroquai as an influence, which makes complete sense when that is said out loud. Even though Summer is coming to an end and college classes are beginning to ramp up at the end of this month (I'm sorry, I know you don't want to acknowledge that quite yet), I feel like Can't Afford It All puts me right back in June. No, it's not written as a summer song, but the melody and the upbeat tune makes me want the gray skies of Wisconsin to clear and allow me to chill down at the beach.
While you're grasping for the last bits of summer, you should also take a listen to Radical Something, if you haven't discovered them already. They have a new album – "Ride It Out" – coming out on Labor Day, September 2, 2013. I have to say that I am really excited for this one to drop. Last month they dropped, Cheap Drinks, which I can only anticipate to be a single off of their album. They are currently on tour with several stops in Colorado coming up (lucky!), I may have to drive down to Chicago to see these guys.
Hermitude – HyperParadise (Flume Remix)0
First off, I discovered Hermitude's HyperParadise through the remix by Flume (of Sydney Australia). So it's safe to say that I enjoy the remix to the original. I bring this up because as I watched the original on YouTube, I saw a lot of people debating which song is better (original or remix). I think this is quite the age-old debate, I think it's often which one you discovered first and took a liking to. If you discovered the remix first, the original is going to sound different and may be less interesting. On the other hand, if the original is already a masterpiece then nothing you do to it could ever make it better. Instead, it's another creative approach to something someone has already created.
After reading Flume's bio about how he got started at the young age of 13, I realized that Australia supports music development in quite the extraordinary way, they put music software in cereal boxes as the prize instead of cheap plastic crap. Australia igniting young Harley Streten's (Flume) passion by allowing him to express himself in a creative and musical fashion.
Hermitude also has an impressive story, the multi-instrumentalists, Luke Dubs (Luke Dubber) and Elgusto (Angus Stuart) started way back in 1994 when they were only 16 and 11 (respectively). In 2000, they formed the Australian Hip Hop group that they are today. The original, HyperParadise is a great listen and notably different from the remix (isn't that how it's supposed to work?).
Another song that I have been obsessed with lately is the brand new Hip Hop song by the Ancient Astronauts (of Cologne, Germany). Break My Heart In 2 is a love song, err, more of a break up song. But it's certainly an interesting beat with subtle lyrics over the top of it. Ancient Astronauts consists of the production and DJ duo: Kabanjak and Dogu; and like Hermitude, they've been at it since 2000.

DJ Paimon: Agent Orange (Hollywood)0
Last night I went out in Milwaukee and checked out the new(ish) club, The Library Club, that had replaced the Decibel Deep Bar last year (and it's predecessor – Mantra Lounge). It had a cool atmosphere, with portraits of Will Ferrel, Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck; but the George Costanza portrait was the greatest. Anyways, last night, the guest DJ was DJ Paimon. Needless to say, I was impressed enough to seek him out online to share more of his work. He had one mix where he featured The Marvelettes' Mr. Postman that immediately got me to hope for the Dubstep remix. Nope, no Dubstep, but he kept me engaged. Following it closely behind with a remix of Cedric Gervais' Molly. Instead of an EDM remix, it was more of a Hip Hop remix, which was DJ Paimon's preferred style – or at least based on last night's set. Oh and the final song of the night was My Neck, My Crack, but not the version you're used to hearing (at least not initially), I have now heard something that will forever alter my perception of this song… Richard Cheese's crooner cover of the original.
His ability to cross promote multiple genres in his mixes is showcased in his Agent Orange Mini Mix Promo, available on his SoundCloud account. He makes listening to the 'oldies' fun and relevant again! While a lot of the music he plays is Hip Hop, he also seems to have a lot of popular trap song available. Such as his collaboration with Los Angeles' veteran, DJ Tetris, and their Trap remix of Enur's Calabria. The horns remix about halfway through is pretty impressive to hear as well. Finally, I wanted to share his production of Dolo's Life and Times of Dolo. It's from 2005 and was for the independent recording artist, Dolo. What really pulls me in is DJ Paimon's manipulation of the Etta James sample, At Last.
If you get a chance to see DJ Paimon live in Hollywood (Thursday nights), or where ever else he's spinning, you'll be in for a great night. We were impressed with his scratching and transitions, something that I can't say for a lot of DJs I've seen spinning in the clubs lately.

Away For You – Nā Palm ft. Kelsey1
New single out by Nā Palm! It's an EDM love song (well, a 'lust song', if I know anything about Nā Palm by now), it's called Away For You. I've heard a good handful of other writers/promoters talk about how EDM hits don't have any substantial lyrics outside of one catchy hook. I've always appreciated what Nā Palm has tried to do, calling himself the EDMc, putting his lyrics over EDM hits that have none. That's why it's always so exciting to hear that he dropped another podcast or came out with a single. But what I've really enjoyed is the appearance of the new female vocalist on the chorus, I had to reach out and ask him who she was (@NaPalmLive). She goes by the name of "Kelsey" – which made her a little tricky to find. But you can find her much easier if you Google "Kelsey Montanez". Kelsey (recently signed with Force One Seven Co. – Producer) also dropped an EP – "A Delightful Sadness" – that you should head over to iTunes to hear.
You may have seen Kelsey on an episode of American Idol, she auditioned on season 11 (Phillip Phillips won). Another American Idol contestant (season 8 with winner Kris Allen) was Devon Baldwin. She recently collaborated with G-Eazy and Skizzy Mars on the new song called Pay For You. It's similar Nā Palm's song in that it's a song about love for another. But it takes the interested perspective from her point of view (Devon's in this case) instead, singing about being able to pay for him and that he (Skizzy) doesn't have to worry about finding a real job, she's got him covered.
To me, what makes these two songs extraordinary, is that little extra (sorry – I had to borrow that from David Koechner's character on the movie Waiting). The little extra being, Kelsey on Away For You and Devon Baldwin on Pay For You. The collaboration decision was beautifully executed and gave these songs that extra boost that will make me want to play them a few more times tonight.
Away For You - Nā Palm ft. Kelsey
Modjo – Lady (Kaytranada Remix)0
It's International Tuesday and today we're taking you to Montreal, Canada to hear the musical styling of Kaytranada (formerly known as Kaytradamus). His style ranges from House, to Hip Hop, to Electronica and even stretching out to Trap music with a bit of EDM too. A few of his remixes that I feel showcase his talent would include one he did about 5 months ago on Beyonce's Party featuring Andre 3000. Who would have thought that Beyonce would sound good slowed down? I didn't, but Katranada has shown it to be possible. Another fun remix is that of Janet Jackson's If, which adds an extra bassline for extra poplocking Hip Hop music.
Finally, we have Kaytra's newest release, Lady originally created by Modjo. It's only a few days old and it already has over 1,000 downloads! I'm impressed and this is definitely one of my favorite remixes of his. I think this highlights his abilities in the best possible way.

Calvin Harris & Dillon Francis – Here 2 China (feat. Dizzee Rascal)0
Calvin Harris has been crankin' out the tracks for his newest album 18 Months, to be released tomorrow, October 29! This track showcases a nasty collaboration with Scottish EDM star Dillon Francis and English Rapper Dizzie Rascal on the track "Here 2 China". The track takes Dillon's super Electro edge and Calvin Harris' epic smoothness and turns out a bangin' heavy bass hip hop hitter. Calvin has also streamed the entire 18 Months album for free through his website for your listening pleasure. Turn this hip hop banger up and make sure to grab this EP next week!

Outasight Ft. Chiddy Bang – Shine0
Outasight (featuring Chiddy Bang) – Shine
I have been jamming out to this new single for the past few days and figured this would be a great addition to your weekend adventures. I first heard Outasight about 6 months ago when he released Now or Never, after that I have been eagerly waiting his next project. Shine is just what I've been waiting for. Plus, it features Chiddy Bang (I can't remember the last time I heard a memorable hit from him, a year?) and I'm glad he's attached to such a great Hip Hop song. Outasight's debut album, "Nights Like These," is slated to release on November 27th. I hope he drops a few more tracks up until then, I want more spoilers!
"The Heist" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis0
Purchase on iTunes: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Ten Thousand Hours (The Heist)
Happy Tuesday everyone! Today we're bringing you Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' brand new album, "The Heist." This album has been long-awaited by Macklemore fans! If you haven't heard of Macklemore before, he is an up and coming rapper who is a true storyteller. All of Macklemore's songs are very original and have a great story behind them. What I like about this duo is that they address key issues that will reach a young generation versus fellow rappers who only rap about sleeping with women, drugs, and alcohol. So far, off the album, the most known song has to be Thrift Shop. The song has a catchy beat, and an infectious chorus. I think I have listened to it at least 200 times… Then comes Macklemore's more serious song, One Love, which tackles the issue of gay marriage. You can feel the passion in the song, which adds a whole new aspect to it. The duo has been great with fans, both on twitter, @Macklemore, and via Reddit's AMA! I hope everyone supports this great artist and buys the album!

Conor Alu & R3K – Fire Fly0
Kid Cudi – Falling Star (R3K remix)
The other day I find myself aimlessly surfing the internet while 'spying' on the Hype Machine, when suddenly my attention is brought to a song that is playing in the background. I quickly find the tab and discover a new remix that I have to favorite and add to my playlist, it's Kid Cudi's Falling Star as remixed by R3K. It was a little more challenging to find out more information about R3K than I'd like to admit. R3K, or Riley Keating, hasn't had a new track released in over a year and his SoundCloud account is empty. All that I can find on the kid is that he's a Boulder, Colorado based DJ/Producer and that he's collaborated with Conor Alu (a freestyle artist from the same area). There doesn't seem to be too much activity coming out from these two young artists, perhaps they are focusing on school (or working on the next big project – one can hope).
I did want to share two songs from the collaboration of Conor Alu and R3k, these tracks are more than a year old and will work well with our Throwback Friday. Fire Fly is a great Electronic Hip Hop song that has a subtle euphoria built-in that gives this one such a chill ambiance. Another worthwhile track is, WTF, which reminds me a little of another local group, 3oh!3 (or at least what I assume their early attempts at music would sound like). These two need to reemerge onto the music scene and mount a long-awaited comeback!

Conor Alu & R3K – WTF
The Cataracs ft. 3oNe3 – All You0
Up and coming Hip Hop artists, 3oNe3, out of Missouri shared their version of The Cataracs' All You with us a few days ago. It was one of those songs that I instantly enjoyed, Hip Hop artists have really picked it up over the past few months. 3oNe3 is made up of Joshua "Flexy" Teasley, an American rapper, singer and songwriter from St. Louis (originally Oakland, CA). He's currently enrolled at the University of Missouri and has been constantly in the studio or on the road (plus keeping up the grades). The name 3oNe3 originated from the room that Flexy occupied during his time pledging a Fraternity. 3oNe3′s DJ is Chris Murphy, also known as DJ Merf or Powerhouse Productions. DJ Merf combines a mixture of Electronic, House, Trap, and Hip Hop music into his sets. 3oNe3 has been booked for shows with Timeflies, Hoodie Allen, and Chingy to name a few.
In addition to their latest Hip Hop number, they have a few older tracks that are worth a rebirth in our book. Rihanna's What's My Name has gained quite the popularity over the past year and I can see why, Flexy raps over the song to make his lyrics fit with Rihanna so well, you'd think they worked in the studio together. You'll Never Know is another favorite of mine and deserves more attention, it also appears to be one of the first releases by the Hip Hop duo.

Jay Finner – Graduation2
Hey everyone, almost done with the week! Yesterday, I received a music submission from Jay Finner, an 18-year-old up and coming rapper from Prince Edward County, Ontario in Canada! The song is 100% original (produced by Dyawnz) and includes a sample from: We've Only Just Begun by The Carpenters.
This song speaks about graduating high school and moving on to the next level, with all the unknowns and expectations. Finner said that he used this song as part of his Valedictorian address for his graduating class in high school this year. The sample is no doubt catchy, and the thoughtful lyrics by Finner prove to be a solid combination. I would love to see where he goes in the future. Great job Jay!

Jez Dior – Candles0
When I get submissions on SoundCloud from artists I don't follow, it's always a surprise (good and bad) as to what I'm about to hear. This morning's mystery song came from Jez Dior which I thought would be a producer from France. I listened to Candles and was surprised to hear Hip Hop; even more surprised to get so much enjoyment out of the song. Jez Dior, or Jezzy, is from Los Angeles, California and the female vocalist on this single is a sample from Elena Tonra of Daughter. His lyrics encompass so much heart and feelings of love, a feeling that he is not afraid to express. Candles is the first single from his forthcoming full-length album, "Scarlet Sage." I want to know where Jez Dior has been hiding and how this is the only single available on SoundCloud, he has such a polished sound; almost as if he's a seasoned veteran in the Hip Hop scene. He is definitely one to watch and we'll be adding him to our "Watch List."
Her Song- Machine Gun Kelly0
Hey Everyone, I hope you are enjoying TMP 2.0! Today I'm bringing you MGK's new song off his mixtape EST 4 Life. The song has a very catchy tune in the background and captures a softer side of MGK. His lyrics are deep and tell a personal story about a girl that was in his life. I've listened to this song a lot lately to the point where I will start singing the background music. I bet you all will enjoy this song as well!
The Future Is Now – GRiZ0
Two weeks ago, I had planned on a specific feature for Throwback Friday, but the day before I wrote it – we were hit by that damn "fire" that crashed our site. So, now I finally have the chance to write about GRiZ and I'm very excited to do so. At the time, The Future Is Now, wasn't all that old and still isn't – only a month post-release. But he has some other fun songs to talk about, before I get too far ahead myself, the aforementioned single is a fun, jazzy, 'funkified' melody with Hip Hop influences. For some reason I feel like it brings in elements of a retro vibe with the bells that ding in background; like I'm watching an episode of the original Charlie's Angels. Then there's the sexy saxophone that could steal the limelight all on its own! I could see this as the theme song to a modern day spy show; you heard me USA Network; hire GRiZ for your next television series!
The other song that I really want to share with you is GRiZ's remix to Welcome to Jamrock by Damien Marley. At first you hear the Reggae and a little Drum n Bass with some Electronic synths. The bootleg continues to build and suddenly you realize you're in a Dubstep remix! Boom, that just happened! After a drop the dub goes away for a bit and the Reggae flow ensues. Another surprise is the Wacka Flocka sample towards the end, it was a great touch that I wasn't expecting to hear!

BRISTOL — The Rocketman was still flying high Friday evening at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Ryan Newman, fresh off a victory in Wednesday's NASCAR Modified Series race at BMS, won the pole for tonight's IRWIN Tools Night Race with a lap of 15.624 seconds (122.811 mph).
Driving the No. 39 Chevrolet, Newman earned his second pole of the season and the 48th of his career.
"It was a good lap, but it didn't feel that fast," Newman said. "These Cup cars just feel so much slower than the Modifieds through the corners. We have momentum, just a lot of things going our way right now."
Newman, whose 128.709 mph lap in 2003 is still the Sprint Cup track record, scored his third pole at Bristol overall. He described the car as driving the same in qualifying as it did in practice, although his qualifying speed was over five mph faster than the final practice session.
The 33-year-old Indiana native won his first pole this season at New Hampshire and followed it up with a race victory. He said that starting up front at Bristol was just as important.
"When you're up front, your emotions are pretty calm because a lot of things are going your way," he said. "You're starting in a good position with good pit selection. I just look forward to the race. It's a great race to watch the flashbulbs going into turn one."
Carl Edwards, who won the pole for the Jeff Byrd 500 in March, qualified less than .02 of a second off Newman's pace at 122.670 mph.
"That was a pretty exciting lap," Edwards said. "I don't know if I lifted off (turn) four, but it was headed for the fence. I was kind of doing the odds in my head how much it was going to tear up the car if I put it in the fence. Man, we wanted that pole bad, but it was a good starting spot."
Edwards' No. 99 Ford was the fastest car in both of the day's practice sessions, and he ultimately decided a bonzai run wasn't worth it.
"Ryan beat me and that was all I had," Edwards said. "I really hated that we didn't get the pole. It's really, really frustrating when you miss the pole by just two-hundredths of a second. The car was just so fast all day."
While Newman paced time trials, his teammate Tony Stewart was the slowest of 46 cars. He ran a lap of 16.485 seconds (116.397 mph) before shutting off the engine on the second lap. Stewart's No. 14 Chevrolet will start last in tonight's field of 43 cars.
"It wasn't a good day for the 14 obviously," Newman said. "I think it's one of those deals where you spend the night regrouping. We never want to see the cars that far apart whether it's the set-up or the results.
"We share information — there's no doubt about that. We share so much information sometimes so much that it's confusing to go through it. But, it's like Buddy Baker taught me, it's sometimes better to learn what not to do than what to do."
Edwards teammate, Matt Kenseth, qualified third in a Ford at 122.662 mph. The Hendrick Motorsports duo of Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin in Chevrolets rounded out the top five.
Five-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson qualified 13th, while Kevin Harvick, the winner of Wednesday night's Truck Series race, was two spots behind in 15th.
Other notables included 22nd fastest Dale Earnhardt Jr., sporting a special BMS 50th anniversary paint scheme on his No. 88 Chevrolet, and defending race winner Kyle Busch who was 23rd fastest.

I'm Mike Skinner, Skipper of Diva which will be operating out of Stranraer in south west Scotland.
This web site is not just about us but will be full of information about sea fishing around the coast of Galloway, sw Scotland.
Whether you prefer to fish from the shore, from your own boat or from our new charter boat we will aim to provide items of interest and up-to-date information.
Stranraer to Corsewall, Corsewall to Portpatrick, Portpatrick to Mull of Galloway,
Mull of Galloway to Ardwell, Ardwell to Auchenmalg, Auchenmalg to Isle of Whithorn
and The Isle of Whithorn to Garlieston.
Our new boat 'Diva' was built in Cornwall and arrived in her home port of Stranraer in September 2008
Stranraer - the sea fishing capital of Scotland ?
That's a bold statement you might think. but let's look at the past history of the Rhins peninsula - with no less than 20 Scottish records coming from these waters.
Included in the list are:
- The current Scottish shore Tope record at 54lb caught in Loch Ryan.
- Scottish boat record Thornback Ray of 29lb caught in the famous Luce bay.
- Fantastic Pollock fishing can be had from excellent rock marks where the Scottish shore Bass record of 15lb came from.
We're sure not only will Stranraer be the sea angling capital of Scotland but perhaps the fishing capital of Europe. Come and sample some of the very best sea fishing in the UK.

DO NOT BUY THIS FOUNDATION (If you guys like this foundation, I'm very sorry about it. I would give this a 0 if I can. This is my personal opinion :/)!!!!!
I got the shade in NC35 and I was trying it in the mac counter. It was fine, I was happy about the finish and the coverage it gives. So, I bought it and I was walking around the shopping centre for 30-40 mins. I was looking at myself in the mirror. The next minute, I look ORANGE. Literally, ORANGE. I'm not happy about this foundation and I wasted my money on this product. I'm not happy about their formulation. It looks like I've done a really bad fake tan on my face. Also, it rubs off around the nose and the cheek areas in an hour or 2. Let me just do a run down of the foundation by doing a pros and cons:
- Nice finish and coverage
- Oxides like crazy (ORANGE, It looks ORANGE on me.)
- Broke me out like crazy, I got 2-3 pimples, normally I don't get a lot of pimples.
- Rubs off when you touch it (Suppose to be a long lasting foundation :/)
Just to let everyone know, I bought this foundation ages ago (Last year). Every time I try this foundation, I break out like crazy and I look like an umpa lump. I brought 6 products back to mac and I was so heartbreaking that I wasted my money on this crap.

I bough this product hoping it would be my HG. I have combo oily skin and primer has not prevented oil from appearing after just one hour of make up application. I was told this make up would last all day and stay dry. Unfortunately it came off my face too easy and left my face with a blotchy/patchy look as the coverage was so thick that it was very noticeable where the make up had rubbed off and where I still had make up on my face. It doesn't have enough shades to provide a perfect skin color match and I have to say that while it looked flawless after application it did not stay on as flawless as I expected it. It simply not make up for "real life". Although it is a heavy make up it did not provide the coverage of blemishes I expected. I was very disappointed to say the least.

The first day I put this on my face I was INLOVE, the second day, not so much. I feel like I wanted to love it so badly that I ignored the fact it dries unbelievably fast, the texture of the foundation was quite sticky feeling and it was actually hard to apply. This foundation does however give my face a flawless glow, I mean I GLOW. I have patchy, red, oily, acne prone skin and this foundation makes my skin look AMAZING. Granted you do have to add a little more foundation over top of your blemishes but this foundation is build-able so that isn't a problem at all. I set it by dusting some loose powder and a finishing spray (because this does make my skin a little dry, which I defiantly am NOT) and it stays all day. No touch ups needed, I leave all my concealer, powder, EVERYTHING at home and I don't have a care in the world. Props to Mac for making this foundation have amazing staying power. This will definitely be my HG foundation, I just wish it applied smoother like there other foundations.

I used to swear by this foundation as it was the first one I had come across that didn't literally fall off my face due to my oiliness. It has superb staying power when applied on top of a primer and set with a powder (I use skinfinish natural). After around a month of daily use it started to feel heavy and cakey on my face and I decided to look for something with the same staying power but less heavy and since then I have swapped back to my old HG Revlon colorstay which is very comparable to this foundation. Overall a good foundation for an oily skin but can at times feel too much for daily wear.

After getting tired of using the same Mac Matchmaster foundation, I decided to switch to something new. Trying out the Pro Longwear Foundation. First time put it on my face with my Sigma Flat Top Kabuki brush, a lot of patches. The foundation dry very fast. The next day, I applied it on again, I am so happy that it went well. I realized that I did not apply it properly. I set it with my Mac MSF in Medium Dark, even better. The con is, the foundation does not cover my acne spots well, so you have to use a concealer. Overall, I am satisfied :)

I have an oily/dry skin combo. After I started with acne medication my chin, cheeks and "outer" forehead got flaky and dry. I exfoliate and use embryolisse lait-creme the night before I use this, and my face looks good. It's a buildable coverage, but I use the matching concealer as well, and I absolutely love this. Worth the money!
It stays on for hours, even while I'm sweating. It's great for oily skin, definitly try this out! Love the classic glass-packaging with a pump as well. Just overall a great, great product.
EDIT: have grown to not like it at all. It makes my skin look streaky and disgusting no matter what I do. The color looked kinda grey-ish and I just looked sick and unusually pale. I still like the formula but on my skin it didn't look good.
EDIT 2: the color isn't so bad after all. However: the formula stinks. After 6 hours the the foundation is left in my pores (Yes I use a primer) and leaves "white" dots on my face. It isn't matte enough. I am very dissapointed, and will NOT buy this again. Horrible foundation. I wanted to like it so much.
EDIT 3: Formula seems to set in my pores. It stays all day, highlights dry areas though so be aware and moistruize at night and maybe in the morning if you need it. The color is ok, blends nicely. But again, even though I use a primer, this seems to set in my pores and make me look stupid. Maybe I'll try it with another primer, because it doesn't move at all and it IS a good longwear foundation.

I love this foundation, I have very oily skin but I love a dewy finish which I think is so so hard to achieve! I think a lot of people rely on there foundation to do all of the work when it comes to controlling oil on there face but it is essential you are preparing your skin properly before applying your foundation. The colour match for me is perfect & it applies to my skin really well, you can taylor make the coverage depending on what brush is used to apply, I either use my RT buffing brush for a lighter coverage or my RT angled foundation brush for maximum! Once applied leave for a few minutes to let it really settle into your skin. I then apply my MAC Blot Powder in t zone & will top up throughout the day!

I only had a sample of this. At the MAC counter I was deciding between this and Matchmaster so the SA put this on half of my face and Matchmaster on the other half. It looked really pretty at first but a few hours later, the Pro Longwear side had weirdly "separated" on my face. You could only see from close up but it was...hard to describe but not smooth. Perhaps my skin is a little too dry for it? It wasn't peeling, just...separating. The Matchmaster side remained smooth and clean. Obviously, I went back and purchased the Matchmaster, which I love. It probably has to do with skin type. This was with no primer.

This foundation is good for people with clear skin that needs some coverage. It is not good to put over any blemishes as it just enhances them with dry patches. The foundation does last a long time and it doesn't have any paint smell like mac studio fix. However, this foundation made me breakout really bad in random areas that I wouldn't normally. I also don't really like the look of this foundation on my face - basically it looks like you have a full face of foundation instead of naturally flawless skin. I am going to go back to my all time favourite mac studio tech foundation - it runs out so fast but it is the best!

Niki and the Dove Announce "The Drummer" EP Out Oct 18
Niki and The Dove is a duo from Stockholm, Sweden made up of Malin Dahlström and Gustaf Karlöf. Their songs are full of magic and light but with an unsettling darkness hidden beneath the surface. Since getting together in February 2010, Malin and Gustaf have been busy writing together, figuring out just how pop music works and then discovering new ways to break it. The Swedish duo released The Fox EP earlier this year and are now set to release a digital-only EP on Oct 18 entitled The Drummer, which, according to the band and NME, "tells a story about a wrestle at night".
They explain:
"The Drummer tells a story about a wrestle at night, in a no mans land, where everything is uncertain. It's about the inevitable question of if you're choosing the right direction in your life or not."
The band will be heading to the states to open 3 SOLD OUT shows for Peter Bjorn & John in the NYC area with a 14 date UK tour to follow in October. See below for a full list of shows.

By Shooter from USA on 2010-03-09 16:56:27Things I liked:This rail is made of plastic but seems pretty strong. It is easily attached to the bridge mount, sold seperately, if you are nimble with your hands and fingers.
Things I would have changed:Since the bridge mount is needed for this weaver rail attachment, I would make them all one piece and design this rail to fit both dovetail and weaver mount applications. Walther has already designed this type of rail that fits their CP88 pistol.
What others should know:If you want to mount a scope with only a 11mm dovetail bracket then the bridge mount can be used alone, however, the rail is only about 2.5" long and forward on the barrell slide. Because of this forward positioned rail, your scope mount will be out of balance with your pistol.

Step 1: Initial Sketch
Step 2: Grip and chamber cover
When my marks are done, I begin to cut grooves.
I also leave a bit of material on the rear, so when I drill my template through that section, and cut it off, I will be left with proper holes in the grip section, and a piece of aluminum with corresponding holes I can use as a hole transfer template.
Are you selling any? I'm afraid I don't have the necessary tools at the moment.

The Return of the Jedi sabers were cobbled together from the sabers from the previous movies, or completely made from scratch.
I wish I had the prop guy's job back in the day, I bet that was lots of fun.
I believe John Mollo and Ivo Coveney were behind the props.
You may be interested in:
The rechargeable batteries, soundcard, wiring, plugs and LEDs probably topped out around 200 bucks. The LEDs for the blade and chamber were around a buck a piece, and I used 94 of them in the saber.
It's been a fun hobby. I will try and put more sabers on instructables, as well as some Nixie tube stuff.

Kittrell Job Corps Center: Groundhogs not alone looking for shadows this weekend
On Friday, Kittrell Job Corps Center, along with employers and students from across the country, will take part in Groundhog Job Shadow Day.
Since 1999, this initiative has paired student "shadows" with "workplace mentors" in an effort introduce students to the workplace and help them understand how academics and careers are connected. The goal is to match more than 1 million young people with workplace mentors. On behalf of Job Corps, Kittrell Job Corps Center will join national event sponsors and students, businesses and community members in the Vance County area on Friday in providing valuable workplace experience to students.
Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce; Bank of America; Employment Security Commission; Beckford Medical Center; Vance County Fire Dept.; United Way Volunteer Center, Vance-Granville Community College, Henderson Mayor Pete O'Geary; Vance County Sheriff Peter White; Keith Sidwell, Henderson Police Chief; Vance County commissioner, Terry Garrison; U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C.; Sara Coffey's Bail Bond Services; and Walgreens are just some of the local business and organizations that will be participating.
In a statement, Ty Graham, center director, wrote "Kittrell Job Corps Center students (will) see firsthand how the skills they learn in the classroom are used in the workplace. They will also be exposed to new and exciting careers and to network with employers and other organizations. This Job Shadow opportunity will greatly motivate and inspire them to obtain their academic and career technical training to become employable ... Job Corps understands the importance of making the connection between center classrooms and employer workplaces, and Groundhog Job Shadow Day offers our students another opportunity to do just that."
For information on admissions, call (919) 954-0691 or call (252) 438-9106. For general information about Job Corps, search jobcorps.dol.gov.
