London attractions take guests on an artistic tour through Europe
Published: Monday 25th of March 2013
If you are an art lover who is hoping to see some of the most famous collections in the world then there are plenty of exciting London attractions which will allow you to do just that.
Whether you have a passion for Picasso's paintings, Medardo's sculptures or you have a penchant for photography and surrealism, there is no shortage of art galleries to get your teeth into.
Many of the most renowned art collections in the world are housed in these galleries, which also take the visitor on a fascinating journey behind the history of the exhibitions.
London has always been known as a cultural hub with a diverse and rich heritage, and quite a few of the unique exhibitions that you find here cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
So if you are an art fan, why not start off with a visit to the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art and finish up with a stop at the National Gallery in London?
In fact, there are so many exciting art attractions to choose from that we've listed our favourites below.
Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art
No art lover should pass up the opportunity to stop by this unique attraction. It the only art gallery in the country to highlight the importance of modern Italian art to European culture.
The collections are housed in a Grade II listed building, which contains six galleries as well as a bookshop and library.
Here, visitors can see Futurist works from all over the world, including those of Marino Marini, Umberto Boccioni and Gino Severini, who were the most famous artists of the time.
But if sculpture is more your kind of thing, then you can also see works by artists such as Medardo Rosso, who is thought to be one of the most influential sculptures in his lifetime.
Regular talks and events are hosted at the gallery, which include education evenings, art days, talks and exhibitions.
It also allows guests to hire galleries both during the day and during the evening for events and shows.
National Portrait Gallery
Located in the heart of London, the National Portrait Gallery is home to both old and new collections and art forms across the globe.
Visitors can see everything from Native American Indian paintings, to images of the Duchess of Cornwall, within the walls of this famous gallery.
In addition, it features the lives, history and images of those who have influenced British history and culture from the Middle Ages until the present day.
Most of the works are photo exhibitions and portraits of political figures and celebrities, but you'll also find sculptures from European artists.
National Gallery
Not to be confused with the National Portrait Gallery, the National Gallery features inspiring art by legends such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Monet and Picasso among many others.
Over 2,000 Western European paintings are on display at this gallery, with audio tours and guides available in 12 different languages.
On March 14, they have a special exhibition which delves into the lives of children living in the 1700s until the early 19th century.

Shirley Temple Black, hands down the cutest celebrity to have a drink named after them (sorry Arnold Palmer, you should have accessorized), has passed away on Monday. She was 85.
First known to Depression era audiences as an adorable, tap-dancing sassypants, she was a screen legend with over 40 film credits by the age of 12. With her acting career stalled out in her teens, she left the business at the age of 22. From there, she entered politics and went on to become an ambassador for the United States under two different presidencies.
In 1972, after losing her left breast to cancer, she spoke publicly about her mastectomy in the hopes of raising awareness and promoting women to conduct home checks.
The New York Times has published this statement from her family, "We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and most importantly as our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and adored wife for fifty-five years of the late and much missed Charles Alden Black." Indeed. Let's all take a moment to pour out a sip of grenadine and ginger ale in her honor.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In Mary's world there are simple truths.
The Sisterhood always knows best.
The Guardians will protect and serve.
The Unconsecrated will never relent.
And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth.
But, slowly, Mary's truths are failing her. She's learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power. And, when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness.
Now, she must choose between her village and her future, between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death?

Rumors of massive unrest on the "Outside" abound. Something murderous is out there. Amish elders make a rule: No one goes outside, and no outsiders come in. But when Katie finds a gravely injured young man, she cant leave him to die. She smuggles him into her familys barn—at what cost to her community? The suspense of this vividly told, truly horrific thriller will keep the pages turning.
A story where edge-of-your-seat horror meets post-apocalyptic thriller, perfect for fans of Lois Lowry and The Mazerunner
Night is coming.
On Marins island, sunrise doesnt come every twenty-four hours--it comes every twenty-eight years. Each sunset, the townspeople sail to the south, where they wait out the long Night. None of the adults will tell Marin, Kana, or their friend Line exactly what happens when they leave the island, but when the three are accidentally left behind in the gathering dusk, they learn the truth: at Night, their town belongs to others, and those others want them gone.
Fleeing through the now-alien landscape that used to be their home, the three confront shocking transformations and uncomfortable truths about themselves. They are challenged to trust one another or perish. Marin, Kana, and Line must find their way off the island . . . before the Night finds them.

Was able to source some 65" width silnylon 1.1 oz on ebay, in order to put together my own trailstar shaped tarp. It is actually a bit smaller, with the side panels measuring 6.5 ft instead of the full 7. Used a 2" cat curve for the diagonal seams, and a 3" on the bottom edges. Double silnylon laminated reinforcement patches on the peak, with nylon webbing for the tie outs. Grossgrain loops with mitten hooks 2.5' from peak on all side panels.
Don't know why it flipped my images...My apologies for any strained necks.
Trailstars belong in the sky.Looks great.... I have got to get a machine that works so I can sew again.Looking at a singer on craigslist right nowAnthonyEDIT: Looks like a nice tight pitch. What's that bad boy weigh?
Edited by anthonyjhuhn on 03/20/2014 17:40:57 MDT.
Awesome work - looks like it pitches really well.
Looks excellent! How much does she weigh?
Weighs just under 16 oz with lines attached.
had to stand on my head, but it looks like great work
Thanks, I am usually less of a luddite, but haven't posted multiple pics on the forums here before. Not sure what I did wrong, and am not sure how to edit or correct them.
Was it difficult to sew the peak together?
It came together at the peak without much hassle. I started my seams at the base, and sewed up towards the peak. I used a tailor's tack for four points along the seam (one at base, two at mid points, and one at the peak. I found it best to work from base to peak because if there is going to be shifting of material as you sew, which is pretty much a given when working with sil, its better to have a wee amount of mismatch at the peak than on any of the corners. The peak is reinforced inside and out, and the gathered points are hidden between the two laminated sil reinforcement pentagons. I used liquid nails silicone adhesive to apply the reinforcement patches to the peak, and let them dry 24 hours before sewing them together around the perimeters.
Beautiful work , George. I've always been curious about sewing a shaped tarp with multiple seams. Did you pattern it first or just measure directly onto the fabric?
Edited by idester on 03/22/2014 09:34:23 MDT.
when you enter the pictures, put a blank line between pictures and they will be put vertically rather than horizontally (like Doug did)
I knew there had to be a right answer, just couldn't reach it without a little help. Thanks guys! :)
Sam,I patterned one triangle, then pinned the whole expanse of material on the wall using a level to make sure everything was square and plumb, Then placed my pattern piece and marked my points all the way down the entire expanse. Used a straight piece of trim to draw my lines with a sharpie, then cut them all out with a rotary cutter on the floor, while moving my mats to make sure my blade didn't touch the floor. I made a catenary curve template using a spreadsheet and marking points of the curve, then connected the dots on a long piece of poster paper from a roll (thank you Staples). I transferred that to mat board and cut out the two templates (one for the bottoms and one for the equal sides, which I stapled and glued to a long piece of trim. I laid the templates on my edges and made my curve cuts on piece at a time. Too slippery to do a few triangles at once, though I was tempted by the shortcut. Wanted them all as close to perfect as possible. After that came a lot of sewing. :)
Really impressive work George. With the cheap kid I am I love stuff like this.Do you happen to have the pattern you used available somewhere? If you mostly did it freehand that's fine, I can draw something up.Also can you estimate how many yards you used for the whole setup?
I too would love to know how much silnylon you used and any information regarding triangle size would certainly come in handy!Cheers
J Mag, I don't have a digitized pattern, but it is really not at all difficult to make something for yourself. You need to start with the dimensions of your Silnylon. I bought mine on Ebay, from this guy: http://www.ebay.com/usr/montanasoftware. He sells by the foot and cuts it from a roll that is 65" wide, which is the widest I could find during my research. Depending on how large you want your Pentagon tarp, you will be visualizing five equilateral triangles out of a rectangle of sil. I wanted the cheapest I could make material wise, while still providing the benefits of a trailstar style tarp. I decided I didn't need the full 7' base dimension of the original trailstar, and opted to do 6.5' to save a bit of money and weight. I bought 20' for around $42.00. 20' divided by 3 = 6 1/2 feet with a tiny extra for incorporating into a seam allowance. You will have two partial triangles left when you are done cutting out your five triangles, which you will use to make laminated corner and edge tie outs, peak reinforcements, a stuff sack for your tarp, and in my case rain mitts to go with my rain poncho, and still have a bit left over for other MYOG ideas. I already had 3/4" grosgrain for midpoint interior loops and peak loops (one outside and one inside the peak reinforcements), and the 1/2" nylon webbing I used for the tie outs (five for the corners, and five for the midpoints along the base). I also had mitten hooks and line locks left from other projects, but you will need five mitten hooks and ten line locks to make my version. You can omit line locks for weight savings of course, but I like to be able to adjust tension from inside the tarp during rainy weather, rather than climbing out and adjusting tension in the rain. I used Gutterman Mara ($3.65 from DIY Gear Supply) for the piece sewing, and Tera for the tie out loops. In all, with shipping, I spent around $50.00 for this project, but to buy everything you need I estimate less than $80.00. You can find the silicone adhesive at Home depot, I used the stuff from liquid nails.To make the reinforcement patches, I traced the pentagon shape of the peak, made a paper pattern, then cut two pentagon patches from left over sil. If you want it extra strong, you can cut four, and composite two together with the adhesive so you have a double thick patch on the outside, and a double thick patch on the inside. I didn't go that route, I just cut two and used one layer for top and bottom. I used the adhesive to tack on the two patches before sewing them on 24 hrs later. I spread a thin coat on the tarp where the patch would sit, and also on the patch itself, then carefully applied the patches to the tarp, making sure to squeeze out any air bubbles with a wallpaper roller. I used the same method on all the tie out reinforcement areas as well, and there are links on BPL fully describing the process: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/myog-laminating-silicone-impregnated-fabrics.html#.Uy7xMSij7fs. Makes very secure reinforcements. Make sure that if you want tie loops on the top and under side of your peak for hanging the tarp from above, and a hang point inside, that you apply them to the two reinforcement patches before attaching them to your tarp. It can be very tricky to do a full adhesive lamination on the peak due to the geometry of the tarp when it is not under tension. You have the option of just tacking down 1.5" -2" of the patch border to the tarp, or you can carefully set the tarp up outside, and apply the top reinforcement under tension crossing your fingers that no seams rip at the peak while doing so. I wasn't concerned with perfection, and did it inside, using a 2" line of adhesive along the borders of tarp and patch. It worked well, and when it is done and set up, it looks just fine. Time will tell if it effects the strength, but I double top stitched around the reinforcements through the tarp peak, and I think it will do a fine job of handling the tension. I considered doing the peaks with a heavier material like dyneema grid stop, but opted for the lighter sil.
Thanks a lot for the response George. I am going to order up some silnylon soon and get to work.I think your instructions should be more than clear enough with the included pictures. $80 is a great deal for a tarp like that and I think yours should last a long time since it looks like you put in a lot of thought.When I finally get around to making it I'll have to bump this thread with some pictures.
Wonderfully done on the pattern and instruction set here. Most appreciated by those attempting this as well I'm sure!

CANTON Already one of the storied hockey programs in the nation, St. Lawrence Universitys mens hockey team is closing in on a milestone.
The Saints are two victories away from reaching the 1,000-win mark. When accomplished, SLU would become just the 16th team in the nation and sixth in ECAC Hockey to reach this feat.
St. Lawrence is searching for a league win of any kind as it is facing a crucial weekend in the league campaign.
Its pretty important, junior winger Greg Carey said. These two games are against two pretty good teams and its very important for our self-confidence and our placement in the league that we play well and get a couple wins.
The Saints, who play at Colgate tonight and at Cornell on Saturday night, are still in search of their first victory in ECAC Hockey play this season.
Its huge, said junior defenseman Pat Raley, who scored his first goal of the season in the win over Northeastern. This past weekend was a big test for us, but obviously by the end of the day, ECAC games are the most important and I think all the guys know that. Weve got a lot of work to do and Cornell and Colgate are two tough games.
Last Friday, St. Lawrence (6-4-2, 0-2-2) ended a four-game winless skid with a 5-2 victory at Northeastern and then lost 4-0 at Boston University the next night.
The Saints now go back to work looking to win against league competition for the first time this season after their first two weeks in ECAC competition followed a similar pattern.
For two consecutive weekends, St. Lawrence squandered a lead on Friday night and had to settle for a tie (3-3 at Brown on Nov. 9 and 3-3 vs. Princeton on Nov. 16) and were soundly beaten the next day (4-2 by Yale on Nov. 10 and 6-2 by Quinnipiac on Nov. 17).
Its definitely something were addressing, Raley said. Friday night we come to play and Saturday nights we seem to come up flat. Its something we need to work on, we need to be a more consistent team.
In order to compete and climb in the ECAC standings, the Saints need to find a way to break into the win column.
We have a 22-game league schedule and we already have four games down, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. Its a situation where if you can win two games, youre right back in the top half of the league. So every games huge and every games a battle whether youre home or away theres no easy games.
The Saints split the season series with Colgate last season, losing 6-2 in Hamilton. St. Lawrence won 3-2 on Feb. 17 in Canton.
Were playing Colgate, which has been a hot and cold team, Carvel said. Theyve surprised some really good teams; and weve got Cornell, which is always tough at home. Its a big challenge for us this weekend, we definitely have to try and get some wins.
Cornell has won the past three games against the Saints, including 1-0 in Ithaca last Dec. 3 and a 4-3 overtime decision at St. Lawrence on Feb. 18. The Saints will also be looking for their first victory at Cornell in six seasons.
Colgate last year was a high speed, good skilled offensive team and they look pretty good so far this year, Carvel said. Cornell always plays a grind it out and is a big-bodied team that keeps coming at you. We had two close games with them last year and we expect the same again from them.
St. Lawrences last win at Cornells Lynah Rink was a 2-1 outcome in February 2006.
The thing I like about this team is we play the same home or away. Weve won a number of road games already in some tough buildings, so thats a good sign.
Junior goalie Matt Weninger has been a workhorse thus far this season for the Saints and ranks second in the country in minutes played at 729 minutes, 16 seconds.
Weninger, who started all but four games for St. Lawrence as a sophomore, made a season-high 43 saves against Boston University.
He made some huge saves for us in both games, Carvel said. Against Northeastern, he made some big stops to keep the momentum going our way and against BU, he was the player of the game.
Saints senior captain Kyle Flanagan is tied for lead in the nation in both points (21) and goals scored (9), with Carey, and is tied for third in assists (12).
Flanagan is also tied for second in power-play goals (4) with Carey.
Several Saints have launched Face-Off With Hunger, a project that includes a food drive in conjunction with their work in an independent study.
Its goal is to raise awareness on campus and in the local community about issues of food insecurity in the North Country.
The group has three St. Lawrence mens home games this season, including this Wednesdays game against rival Clarkson, where it will host a food drive, in which fliers will be handed out to hopefully bring awareness of the issues.
Other food drives will be held on Saturday Feb. 9 (vs. Union) and Saturday, Feb. 23 (vs. Dartmouth).
All donations will benefit the Canton Church and Community Program.

NCAA appearance: Guarded condition
The Cowboys returned to the Tournament for the first time since 2010, yet didn't even make it to the opening weekend. They were ousted in the first round in a poor performance. The expectation will be for another tournament run in 2014, although the height of those expectations depends on whether Marcus Smart and/or Markel Brown and/or Le'Bryan Nash return or jump to the NBA.

April 10, 2013
By Paul Larkin
Imagine a world in which the moral code and the penal code were identical. At one time, that scenario existed. Centuries ago in England, there were only nine felonies, including murder, rape and robbery. Everyone knew what constituted criminal behavior.
My, how things have changed. Today, there are perhaps 4,500 federal offenses and more than 300,000 relevant regulations on the books. (No one knows exactly how many. The Justice Department and the American Bar Association each tried to identify every federal crime and failed.) No reasonable person, not even a judge or lawyer, could possibly know all of these legal prohibitions, although criminal penalties are attached to each.
Nor does any moral rule of thumb, such as the Ten Commandments, offer any guidance. That's because many statutes outlaw conduct that is not inherently blameworthy. Consequently, average people are on their own.
How did this happen? Partly because passing criminal legislation makes for good politics. Politicians can avoid being labeled "soft on crime" by enacting criminal laws or upping the penalties for existing laws. It doesn't matter that existing statutes outlaw the same conduct, that the new statutes are vague when it comes to defining the conduct that is criminal, or that the new penalties are unduly harsh. No politician ever lost an election by being too "tough" on crime.
Congress also has fallen into the habit of using the criminal law to enforce complex regulatory regimes. That's a recipe for confusion and injustice. The penal code forbids identified conduct altogether, but a regulatory program assumes that some conduct is permissible but places limitations on when and how it can be done. When the two approaches are mixed, the upshot is that no average citizen can readily distinguish lawful from unlawful conduct which means that people can be arrested, convicted and imprisoned for conduct that a reasonable person would not even have known was a crime.
That problem can ruin lives. Abner Schoenwetter spent six years in prison for importing Honduran lobsters packed in plastic, not paper, and for supposedly violating a Honduran regulation (later declared invalid by the Honduran attorney general) that made his lobsters marginally too small. Lawrence Lewis was charged with a felony and ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for following the standard procedure to clean up toilet overflows at a military retirement home, which, unbeknownst to him, diverted the refuse into the Potomac River. Sadly, they are not alone.
There is a remedy: Allow a party to raise a "mistake of law" defense. This essentially would let a defendant argue that, although he may have erred, he tried to remain law-abiding and violated a law that he didn't know and no reasonable person would have known applied to the conduct in which he is engaged. The law still clings to the maxim that "ignorance of the law is no excuse," at a time when ignorance of some laws is inevitable, particularly as to statutes and regulations that outlaw conduct that is not inherently harmful or blameworthy.
Permitting a "mistake of law" defense sensibly balances society's strong interest in law enforcement with society's even more powerful interest in not punishing morally blameless parties. Allowing courts and juries to filter out phony from legitimate claims will separate the blameworthy from the blameless and protect the latter. The cost of making that distinction likely will prove minimal and, in any event, is worth it. Punishing someone who is blameless is unjust and reduces the public's respect for our legal system, and those costs must be weighed, too.
In 1958, Harvard Law professor Henry Hart lamented, "What sense does it make to insist upon procedural safeguards in criminal prosecutions if anything whatever can be made a crime in the first place?" Today, 55 years later, there still is no good answer to his question, but there is a good remedy for the overcriminalization problem he recognized.

NARS Reflecting Setting Powder Review
What magic is this new NARS Reflecting Setting Pressed Powder?! The new NARS Reflecting Setting Powders comes in a loose and pressed formula for Spring 2013 and I honestly didn't give them a second thought after posting about it recently.
But now the pressed version has changed my life.
It's been a while since I said YOU need this but dude, you NEED NARS Reflecting Setting Powder.
I've never tried anything like this in my life. I know what could possibly be so amazing about transparent pressed power right? But…but…it's magic!
Unlike the finely milled powder you'd expect this has a smooth, pressed paper-like finish. Beauty Alchemist recently likened it to a skating rink…that is SO bloody accurate. It's as smooth as glass and feels like NARS took some fancy heavy stock card paper and tucked it into a compact. It has a texture that is entirely difficult to explain but believe me it is NOTHING like a traditional setting powder.
I can't swatch it unfortunately, it's just something that doesn't swatch…it also seems like it isn't being picked up on the included sponge applicator at first but as you smooth it on you'll instantly notice how it perfects your face.
The compact is larger than the typical NARS compact and contains 0.24 oz of product (see comparison to a NARS blush compact below). It comes enclosed in a NARS pouch with a sponge applicator for application. It's not something you can use with a brush. You do have the use the sponge to apply it. It applies transparent but instantly soaked up access oil, blurs the look of finer lines under my eyes and smaller pores around my eyes plus sets my makeup for long wear. The results are almost on par with my beloved Mally Beauty Face Defender. It just perfects and creates the appearance of flawlessness.
Lately I've had a bit of an oily forehead…I think I've been using a little too much Hourglass N° 28 Primer Serum! Anyway this soaks up access oil in that area and keeps it at bay for the entire day.
Although the powder has an iridescent, glittering ice finish in pan it applies transparently on my face without leaving behind a pasty or white cast so many skin tones will be able to easily use this.
Overall, it's a magical product. It's beauty innovation at its best….! I've used my fair share of setting powders but never tried anything like this before. Excellent! As good if not better than Mally's Face Defender.
Loves it.
YOU need to try it.
On January 15 this will be available at NARS Flagship Boutique in New York as well as online at narscosmetics.com and the Pressed Powder will be available February 1 at Sephora and sephora.com with March 15 launch date at narscosmetics.com
Tried it already?
Do share!
Muse Approved!
This review contains a sample
product sent for consideration by PR.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
1/10/13 19:05 Tennyoceres:
As someone with an oil slick for a T-zone and desert patches for cheeks this intrigues me. I wonder if this will finally tame the hot mess that is my face this winter. Commence stalking the local Sephora locations!
1/10/13 19:18 afrina:
how would this apply to skin that has liquid foundation and powder already on? wouldn't the foundation and powder get on the applicator?
This sounds like what I'm looking for, a dream come true! So many powders settle into my lines, not the look I'm going for! I was ready to give up, but my skin needs that extra touch. I'm not sure if I can do the sponge though, so used to brushing on powder. Where do you get Mally?
1/10/13 19:20 amy:
NO… I'm on a foundation & powder "no-buy" for the entire year, or until I get through at least 3 of each. Is this LE, or will it stay in the core collection?
1/10/13 19:21 Nadia:
Thanks for the review Muse :)Do you think this is good for dry skin as well?
Since I haven't commented in a while, I want to wish you happy new year and say that I really enjoy reading your blog
1/10/13 19:38 Kayla:
I wannnnnnnntttttttt.
1/10/13 19:45 Phyrra:
Wow, sounds wonderful.
This sounds FASCINATING! I'm going to have to give it a try when it hits my Sephora!!!
1/10/13 19:56 The Beauty Alchemist:
Thanks for the shout out That's the best I could think of to describe this. It is so unusual but really nice and impossible to swatch. LOVE when beauty companies manage to do something so new that we haven't seen before .
1/10/13 20:01 Tammie:
I NEED setting powder over any foundation or it will disappear, you bet your bum I am going to try out this stuff. Right now all I use is covergirl and/or neutrogena's new one for oily skin…but this sounds like magic @_@
1/10/13 21:06 blueraccoon:
Oh, I want this…I wanted it when I read about it, and now I *need* it. I will so totally be picking this up once Sephora has it!
1/10/13 22:35 Alex Jhocson:
Would this be too much for everyday look? LIke.. too perfect, unnatural skin in broad daylight or harsh fluorescent light?
1/10/13 23:21 Janelly:
The word "reflecting" when it comes to a powder for my oily mess of a t-zone sounds like a bad idea. However I'm still intrigued…
1/10/13 23:44 Victoria:
I can't wait to try it, I have oily t zone and patchy cheeks too and currently Mac blot powder is the only thing I use but this sounds interesting.
1/11/13 0:01 Holly:
How much does it retail for Muse?
1/11/13 0:57 Aiste:
This is why I love nars. I've been disssapointed by some of their products but I still trust in the brand. Their great products totally make up for a dissaponting eyeshadow duo! Mexican rose, heat wave, Isolde–just the best…
1/11/13 1:55 Nicole:
I'm really interested in this but does it give a real glow to the skin or semi matte?
1/11/13 2:08 Tiffany Martin:
I remember how much you liked that Mally face defender, you like this better?!? I better upgrade my want list >_>
1/11/13 2:38 Ashley:
You've sold me. I'll definitely be picking this up when it hits the stores!
1/11/13 5:57 Marie:
I wasn't that interested in this, but after reading your glowing review, I will check it out. I prefer Loose Powder actually, so I hope you'll review it too some day.
1/11/13 6:13 Agata:
That looks very interesting, I will have to try it. Are you sure it will launch at Sephora in January?
1/11/13 11:57 Agata:
Ha ha, no problem. The only reason I asked is because I cannot wait to get it How is the loose powder version?
1/11/13 8:27 Kimmwc03:
Better than Mally's face defender? I have to try this. I hope this will also be at Sephora or Nordstrom at some point. I don't want to order from Nars online. Thanks for the review.
I wish this was a review for the loose powder, but I'll take what I can get. I hope the loose powder is as good as the pressed powder!
I hope that this doesn't read that I'm ungrateful for your review! I know you put a lot of work into this site and you take the time to reply to almost everyone, which I appreciate.
Okay, good! As soon as I hit the submit button I had a minor freak out because it sounded rude to me. lol I check (and recheck) this site numerous times throughout the day and I don't know where I'd be without it, so I don't ever want to sound discouraging.
1/11/13 9:48 Cindy Ramirez:
Oh now you've gone and got me all excited! 😀
1/11/13 11:44 Cj:
So you really can't use a brush with this? How odd… It sounds pretty amazing, maybe ill pick up the loose version. I'm sure you'd be able to use a brush with that right lol? Btw how does it compare to the mally in staying power? Like with the mally I have to keep reapplying every 3 hours or so
1/11/13 11:57 Cj:
Ehhhhhhh ok you convinced me, waiting for it to pop up on sephora :p Ill deal with using a sponge lol plus it'll give me something to use my koh gen do sponges on 😀
1/11/13 13:16 Susan:
Is it a powder? Or is it a gel like solid as the Mally's is? How much money? Oooh, this sounds good; I love NARS! And you Muse!!
1/11/13 19:47 Sil:
this intrigues me. i'v been wanting to buy some sort of pressed powder for touch ups during the day, because i have really oily skin, but i hadn't made my mind until your review. i think it would only be more perfect if it'd had SPF.
i'll have to check if my local NARS carries this product
1/11/13 23:21 Viv:
I only put make up around my eyes, will it work if I use this product on the eyes area only, but not the rest of my face? I wonder if it would work on Asian's skin
1/13/13 1:29 Angel:
You've officially broken my wallet. It's laying on the floor sizzling with smoke coming off of it 😉
I can't wait to try this now. It sounds like what I wished MUFE hi def powder was. And I can't use Mally Face Defender because of all the silicone. I have high hopes for this! Thanks for the review.
1/13/13 16:03 Smidge:
I LOVE that this comes with a case so that rubberized surface doesn't get gross in your bag. AWESOME.
1/13/13 17:55 Gina:
This sounds exciting! I've been on the hunt for a setting powder, but I feel like I'm going to be disappointed when they finally reveal the ingredients. I have a huge silica allergy (talc is also iffy), and it seems to be a popular ingredient in powders these days… Still hopeful!
1/18/13 12:24 Kim:
Hi, if you are allergic to silica or talc, I suggest you try serecin (silk) powder or arrow root powder. You are also most likely allergic to rice powder, corn starch powder, and bismuth oxychloride. I had great success trying and loving (no breakouts!) Origins all and nothing sheer pressed powder. I have super sensitive skin. Sometimes, you may be less sensitive if the ingredients are in a different order. Try it, I am sure you will love it. Their other powders I am not crazy about the ingredients. But this one I think you may love. Silica is toward the very end of ingredients. Keep in mind that there are different types of silicas. I think this one won't bother you. I have tried other brands with silicas and they were terrible. It all depends on the (type) some have diffrent particle size and shape. As well as the grade type. I am allergic to most talc, accept the types that are highly sifted…Don't be scared to give it a try.
1/18/13 19:06 Gina:
Wow, thank you for the suggestions <3! I'm really happy to hear more about how others are dealing with this problem. I don't see the silica reaction come up often.
I agree about the ingredient ordering. Most makeup with talc and/or silica listed early aggravates my skin. It got to the point I was tired of waiting out the reaction. I did notice skincare with low amounts of silica seemed to be OK. It would be nice if manufactures detailed more on the types used. Anyways, this comment really gave me a boost. Much appreciated!
1/13/13 21:01 Jody:
This looks so fantastic. I've been anxious for a while to try it. So much so that I ordered the loose version from Barney's today. They only had the loose available, and some of the spring color items. Thanks for the review!
1/20/13 21:05 Rose:
I recently went to sephora to find a new foundation and the gal that was helping me used the MUFE hd setting powder. I got a sample for it since i can only really afford to buy one product at a time. I was not yet convinced i should get the MUFE hd setting powder. Do you think this one would be a better choice than the hd powder?
1/24/13 15:48 Alaine:
Thanks so much for reviewing this product. I've been wanting to try it and with your positive review, I'm going for it!
1/25/13 9:37 jody:
I've been using the loose now for about a week. I keep waiting for something to not love about it. I've used mufe hd powder, ud's razor powder, etc, and this is similar, but I am not getting that dry look. In the last year my skin has gone from oilslick to desert (yay hormones), and is super prone to looking like the cryptkeeper's when I use powder. But honestly my skin isn't looking dry with this. It does diminish my pore appearance which is huge for me.
I do think there is a tiny amount of a sparkle to it. But tiny amount. Not enough to bother me. Not Edward sparkle. But I know some really hate any trace of it.
I'm more happy with it an I've been in a while about a product. When I was in Sephora Monday, I asked the SA about the pressed version and she brought out their sample from the back. Now that was cool! It did feel like ice. I am so getting it when available. I hope I like it half as much as the powder.
1/26/13 21:22 dawn:
Love your website btw! Does this have any silicone in it? If thats the same Mally product I tried, I loved it but unfortunately it had too much silicone in it for me and it made me even more oilier. The Nars sounds wonderful if its silicone free. I tried one of BBs new powders and wasn't at all impressed. I'm hoping this one will do the trick! Thanks for the review.
2/5/13 13:21 Cj:
Heeeeeey Wifey! Been using this a couple days and I'm inlove! This is the best "powder" I've ever used. When I set with this I literally don't have to blot halfway through the day. The loose version is nice it's like a upgraded silica powder but the pressed is on a whole nother level. And you CAN use brushes with it! It doesn't show on the brush but what I did was put on a real glowy foundation (naked skin) and then used my new pretty hourglass brush (you totally need lol the ambient powder one) and it completely mattified it.
2/14/13 16:50 lily:
I've never applied setting powder with a sponge before. I'm a big fan of NARS but dont own any of the their face products, just cheek and lip stuffs. Their lipstick collection is like candy to me, so many cool colors and I want them all!
2/18/13 21:32 Simone:
Oh jeez. This sounds so amazing.
I don't have credit cards, nor am I "allowed" to go into a Sephora…
I'm thinking of sneaking to Sephora for this! It sounds like something I NEED!!!
Hmm… Maybe if I bribe my sister, she'll pick it up for me! Lol! Yeahhh!!
4/18/13 12:19 Nat:
OMG Muse. I know I'm commenting on this late, but I bought this a month ago, and just started using it regularly. It creates such a beautiful, slightly air-brushed look…..I LOOOOOOOOOVE this stuff! I think I might already be a quarter of my way through it, lol…I'll def buy more! Next I'm buying that Young Blood dupe of the Mally Defender (because I can get Young Blood in Canada but not Mally, boo-erns). Can't wait! 😀
5/3/13 20:29 PrettyPls:
ATTENTION all face sweaters… not the sweaters you wear but the sweat that ruins a perfect face. For the love pretty!!! I am extremely picky and use a 2000x (or close) magnified mirror just to perfect my concealer and this pressed powder has changed my life (literally). I use a (cheap white round cosmetic)sponge and press this on my t zone and under eyes right after moisturizing and bb cream. then conceal and powder foundation…then another sponge layer of this nars powder all over my face (probably more on the tzone too) then add color products and radiance and all that. Before this magic powder came along I used to touch up the powder on my forehead and around my mouth at least four times a day bc my face sweats so much. And I've tried every setting powder and talc and and and….that I could find. Now I can blot the tiny bit of moisture that appears with any old tissue and my powder stays put all day!!! For the love of pretty!!! (worth repeating!!!!) In addition it makes the fine lines under my eyes (press it on, don't swipe) and (dare i admit) deep lines across my forehead pretty much disappear (even under 2000x magnification). I'm almost bummed that I don't need a second powder for my purse! It has been in the 70's the week I've been using this and I haven't need to touch up…. may in the dead heat of summer I'll need one in my bag :)))).
6/11/13 3:31 Kat:
Hi Muse, is this okay for touch ups as well? AHHHH, your review makes me want to get it now. As in right now ahhhh.
7/4/13 23:16 Kat:
I finally bought it last Monday. The surface really feels like a smooth skating rink. And the dear thin sponge, I'm too afraid to use and ruin it. How do I wash it without ruining its texture?
7/8/13 10:59 Nat:
I used the soap that came with my beauty blender sponges and that did the trick nicely. I would think that any makeup brush shampoo should be okay, just keep in mind that once it dries it does curl up a bit on the edges – but it still works great for me like that.
7/15/13 9:32 Kat:
Thanks for the tip! I'll try it tomorrow! :> Does it curl up because of its thinness?
7/16/13 0:29 Nat:
Yah, I think so – maybe you would have better luck than me if you placed it between some paper towels and weighted it down while it was drying? That might help keep the shape. Then you could just give it a light rubbing with your fingertips after it's dried to fluff up the little fibers again.
2/6/15 19:18 eileen:
I own it, tried it, LOVE it and apply with the Elf tapered contour brush. It is simply amazing. Def a game changer for me and a holy grail product! Woot woot!

The Everything Explainer
By Samantha Power
Published: January 4, 2004
America's Quest for Global Dominance.
By Noam Chomsky.
278 pp. New York:
Metropolitan Books/
Henry Holt & Company. $22.
SINCE Sept. 11, 2001, Americans have been heard to exclaim -- with varying degrees of shame, bewilderment and indignation -- Why do they hate us?'' The response tends to fall between two extremes. Bush administration officials say, in essence, they hate us for who we are. As President Bush has put it, ''They hate progress, and freedom, and choice, and culture, and music, and laughter, and women, and Christians, and Jews and all Muslims who reject their distorted doctrines.'' At the opposite end stands the M.I.T. professor Noam Chomsky. ''Why do they hate us?'' Chomsky asks in ''Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance.'' ''Because of you and your associates, Mr. Bush, and what you have done.''
Revered and reviled, Noam Chomsky is a global phenomenon. Indeed, if book sales are any standard to go by, he may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet today. With the United States increasingly suspect around the world -- a recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of citizens in Britain thought the United States ''posed a threat to peace,'' while a June BBC survey found that 60 percent of Indonesians, 71 percent of Jordanians and even 25 percent of Canadians viewed the United States as a greater threat than Al Qaeda -- the appetite for Chomsky's polemics is only increasing. It is but one testament to America's diminished standing that his most recent book,
''9-11,'' a slight collection of interviews (largely conducted via e-mail), was published in 26 countries and translated into 23 languages, finding its way onto best-seller lists in the United States, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan and New Zealand. And at home, as mainstream dissent dissipated in the wake of 9/11, a new generation of disgruntled critics has turned to Chomsky for guidance.
''Hegemony or Survival'' is a raging and often meandering assault on United States foreign policy and the elites who shape it. Drawing upon case after historical case of violent meddling (Iran, Cuba, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Kosovo, etc.), Chomsky argues that the Bush administration's war on terrorism builds upon a long tradition of foreign interventions carried out in the name of ''liberation'' or ''counterterror,'' of special interests run amok and of disdain for international institutions that dare to challenge American hegemony. ''It is only natural,'' he writes, ''that state policy should seek to construct a world system open to U.S. economic penetration and political control, tolerating no rivals or threats.''
Chomsky finds the Bush administration new in only two ways: the crassness of its motives is far more transparent, and it is now playing for far higher stakes. ''Over the years, tactics have been refined and modified,'' Chomsky writes, ''progressively ratcheting up the means of violence and driving our endangered species closer to the edge of catastrophe.'' Unless American statesmen stop ranking hegemony above survival, he says, our 100,000-year-old experiment in human life may well be doomed.
For Chomsky, the world is divided into oppressor and oppressed. America, the prime oppressor, can do no right, while the sins of those categorized as oppressed receive scant mention. Because he deems American foreign policy inherently violent and expansionist, he is unconcerned with the motives behind particular policies, or the ethics of particular individuals in government. And since he considers the United States the leading terrorist state, little distinguishes American air strikes in Serbia undertaken at night with high-precision weaponry from World Trade Center attacks timed to maximize the number of office workers who have just sat down with their morning coffee.
It is inconceivable, in Chomsky's view, that American power could be harnessed for good. Thus, the billions of dollars in foreign aid earmarked each year for disaster relief, schools, famine prevention, AIDS treatment, etc. -- and the interventions in Kosovo and East Timor -- have to be explained away. The Kosovo and Timor operations' prime achievement, he writes, was to establish the norm of resort to force without Security Council authorization. On this both the Kosovars and the Timorese, whose welfare Chomsky has heroically championed over the years, would strongly disagree.
''Survival or Hegemony'' is not easy to read. Chomsky's glib and caustic tone is distracting. He relies heavily upon quotations, but rarely identifies the speaker or writer. The endnotes supply more frustration. Bill Clinton's humanitarian rationale for the Kosovo war was ridiculed ''by leading military and political analysts'' in Israel, we are told, but the citation leads only to an earlier book by Chomsky himself. When he agrees with a claim, Chomsky introduces it with the word ''uncontroversially'' or credits it to ''distinguished authorities.'' Those who don't share his viewpoint don't simply disagree; they are the ''prevailing intellectual culture'' or the ''educated classes.'' This is a thinker far too accustomed to preaching to an uncritical choir.

Women's Basketball Finishes Strong
Skyline College Women's Basketball completed a perfect second half of the Coast Conference season by defeating San Jose City College Wednesday night. Skyline took at 27-21 lead into halftime and never looked back. The Trojans extended their lead by as many as 15 points in the second half before finishing the game off with a 61-48 win. With Wednesday's win, Skyline finished with an overall record of 17-8 and a Coast Conference record of 8-4. Skyline anxiously awaits the playoff bracket to be released on Sunday and hopes to stay hot in post-season play.
Skyline Women's Basketball Defeats Chabot College on Sophomore Night
Skyline College made sophomore night special by beating the #2 ranked team in Nor Cal, Chabot College. Chabot's stellar first half play earned them an 11 point halftime lead, but Skyline refused to give up. Skyline battled back in the second half through great defense and rebounding, as well as some timely shooting. The timeliest shot came from sophomore Monique Garrett who sank a buzzer beating three-pointer to send the game to overtime. Skyline used more of Monique's outside shooting in the extra period to seal the game and a 75-68 win. Skyline was lead by Monique Garrett and Tianna Mitchell who both had 17 points, while Sahara Clay chipped in another 15. Mitchell also led the team in rebounds with 21 and blocks with 4. Skyline has made great strides this year and much of the team's success can be attributed to its sophomores: Clay, Garrett, Mitchell, forward Marielle Beltran, point guard Jazel Talauta, and shooting guard Chloe Tinio.

Weekly Great Lakes Water LevelsAugust 16th, 2013 at 1:59 am by Bill Steffen under Bill's Blog, News, Weather
Lake Michigan at Charlevoix – picture by the brilliant lawyer, Michelle Olin (aka Daughter #3). Click the pic. to enlarge. After a spectacular rise in water levels through the spring and much of the summer, the dry pattern has started to bring water levels back down a little (typical of late summer). Lake Michigan/Huron is down one inch in the past week, but still up 3″ year-to-year. The level is 19″ below the century average. Lake Superior also dropped an inch last week, but remains 6″ above the level of one year ago and just 4″ below the long-term average. Lake Erie is down 3″ in the last month, but is still up 9″ year-to-year and is one inch above the century average. Lake Ontario dropped 6″ in the last month, but is up 13″ from one year ago. Ontario is 5″ above the long-term average. Nearshore water temperatures have been cool and that has kept air temperatures cooler near Lake Michigan. Muskegon hasn't been up to 80 degrees since July 22nd.
Also: Michigan's the Lighthouse State! Purple mud in White Lake. Tall ship visits Muskegon (unexpectedly). Finally, a local Canadian newspaper with an up-to-date, factually correct report on lake levels.

Waving halloos and sending thanks for stopping by. Before you take a tour around the site, here's a little byte to tide you over:
Some years ago, my husband surprised me with a gift that he'd picked out all by himself: a bathroom scale. Worse, it had a faulty calibration, donating an additional eight pounds to any and all comers who dared weigh in. Once my tears and screams subsided, I turned "slight" to write -- and pounded out my hefty ire on the keyboard. Hence, the birth of my first article, Big On Love. Nine hundred published articles later, I'm still writing. Still searching for the perfect scale. And still married to that same guy, who's permanently banned from choosing any more presents for me. Ever.
No matter the subject (film, politics/op-ed, travel, sports, pop culture, humor, dogs, dating, etc.), my first goal is to entertain. Engage, provoke, inform, amuse -- for me, it all falls under that colorful, multi-faceted umbrella of entertainment. And frankly, if I can't entertain you, then I guess I deserve another shoddy bathroom scale.
Oh, God ...

My Rotten Tomatoes' critic page
Following are some of my more vitriolic rages against the movie machine, picked up by assorted publications. As I often say, "I watch the schlock so you don't have to."
Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (quoted by Time and The Daily Beast): The movie's tagline states, 'Forever is only the beginning...' After a few minutes of viewing this lifeless pap, we realize it's not a slogan at all. It's a warning.
Wreck-It Ralph (quoted by The Huffington Post): Disney can dress it up, take it out to the arcade and plug it full of quarters...but t the end of the cord, the film's a simple, 8-bit I-gotta-be-me story, with a dull plot and tepid characters. "Game over."
War Horse (quoted by multiple sources): The equine "Schindler's List."
Sex and the City 2 (quoted by The New York Times): The tagline for the ongoing adventures of Carrie Bradshaw & Co. states that we should "Carrie on." The publicity department almost got it right, but the spelling's off. It should be 'Carrion' because nothing says putrefying, rotten and vile quite like this sequel.

Christian Ponder dating ESPN's Samantha Steele: 'Big news, huh?'
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Christian Ponder noticed the crowd growing around his locker on Friday afternoon and couldn't help but laugh.
"This is big news, huh?" the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback said. "Good Lord."
Yes, Ponder is dating Samantha Steele, the ESPN sideline reporter he met a couple months ago on the set of "College GameDay."
And yes, Ponder knows that as an NFL quarterback, this type of thing is news. Sort of.
"There's been a thousand articles today about it," Ponder said. "You can't really worry about it. You've got to try to keep it private, but that's just part of the industry, part of the job. I don't know. Comes with the territory."
Ponder, 24, first tipped his hand about the relationship, when he tweeted -- and then deleted -- a short message on Oct. 2 saying "hello" to Steele, 26, who was with him at the time.
He said he meant the tweet as a joke because they were trying to keep things under wraps, but someone immediately responded to it.
On Thursday, he confirmed another tweet that they are, in fact, dating, leading to countless stories and blog posts before Ponder addressed the developing situation at Winter Park.
"I'm proud of the relationship," Ponder said, smiling. "I can brag. I've got bragging rights, I believe."
His teammates have been letting him hear about it, though.
The offensive linemen have begun calling him "Mr. Steele," and tight end Kyle Rudolph stopped by Friday's media scrum to joke this wouldn't have happened if the Vikings weren't winning.
"So, whatever," Ponder said. "Christian Steele is kind of a sweet name, don't you think?"
It's not the first time Ponder's dating life has made news.
Before the 2011 NFL Draft, in which the Vikings drafted Ponder 12th overall, TheBigLead.com noted he had been dating a budding model named Kacie McDonell.
Does this relationship have staying power?
"The cool thing is that obviously, we're both busy at the same time, so we don't get to see each other that much," Ponder said. "But at least one person isn't feeling guilty about not making the effort to do it or whatever. Then we kind of have the same schedule in the offseason, so that'll be good."

The city of Charlevoix is located on an isthmus between Lake Michigan and Round Lake, expanding along the shore of Lake Charlevoix. The population of about 3,000 residents increases to an estimated 30,000 people during the summer months. The original Charlevoix Municipal Well site was on the shore of Lake Michigan and consisted of a municipal well system made of a shallow well connected to a horizontal flume, buried beneath the beach. This well is no longer in use. In 1981, the city was notified by the Michigan Department of Public Health that its water system was contaminated. In response, the city installed four monitoring wells near its municipal well with the assistance of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). In 1982, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) installed nine additional groundwater monitoring wells. In 1982 and 1983, the MDNR conducted several soil boring studies to try to locate the source of contamination. The city installed a system to introduce oxygen into the municipal supply in 1983 to treat the contamination. This aeration system was only partially effective in removing contaminants from the water. In response, U.S. EPA installed a new municipal water supply in 1985 through an inter-agency agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Several sources of contamination have been identified through subsequent investigations. Source areas for the trichloroethylene (TCE) plume included the Charlevoix Middle School between Clinton and Mason Streets. Source areas for the tetrachloroethylene (PCE) plume include the former Art's Dry Cleaners on the corner of Grant & Antrim Sts., The foprmer Hooker's Dry Cleaners on the corner of Bridge & Hurlbut Sts. and the Former Tool & Die Shop on Lincoln Ave between Grant & State Sts.

Sample results from an EPA study in 2014 found solvents in soil vapor and indoor air samples at eleven properties above levels that may pose an unacceptable long-term human health risk. Possible sources of this vapor intrusion are nearby former dry cleaners and manufacturers. As a result of this study, EPA installed systems in affected homes to remove solvent vapors from the soil.
In addition to the installation of vapor mitigation systems, EPA excavated potential sources of the solvents, including three underground storage tanks. EPA also plans to conduct further sampling to better define the contamination and determine if additional actions are necessary. Homeowners are encouraged to cooperate with access to their properties, if requested.
There is no risk to residents drinking water. The current water system uses water from Lake Michigan. In 1985, EPA completed installation of a new water intake system and water treatment/filtration plant for the City.
