" Brand: Max Factor / Type: Foundation "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
So, as many of you, I was on the search for the perfect foundation. I am 19, and tend to have oily skin. I have tried MAC hyperreal foudnation, bareminerals, smashbox, revlon colorstay; all of which I like in one way or another, but I want perfection. The Mac foudantion tended to oxidize and turn orange, the smashbox goes on nice and sheer with a great "dewy" look, and the revlon gave great coverage.
So I decided to give this a try as a drugstore foundation.
So I really like it, it gave pretty good coverage for my imperfections on my face. But it was also sheer. I picked out a good color, and there was an awesome color selection by the way.
I liked the fact that it was somewhat sheer because then my skin can glow through underneath. It completely evened out my rednees and discoloration in my face, which is a must.
I would almost compare it to my smashbox foundation, because of the nice dewy look and the sheerness of the product. But it also has great coverage. It looks more like natural beautiful skin. But it has a better staying power than smahsbox.
I have applied the foundation with my bare minerals kabuki brush, my bareminerals feather light brush (stippling brush), and also my smahbox number 13 foudantion brush.
The kabuki brush gave the lightest amount of coverage. The stippling brush gave a nice airbrushed effect, and the foudantion brush gave the most coverage.
I would have to recommend using either a stippling brush or a foundation brush to apply the product. When I tested it out I applied the makeup on a clean face - no moisturizer, or primer.
And it is working pretty well.
I love the fact that it is in a pump so that you dont waste product.
Overall, I would say to give this foudantion a try, you might really be surprised as to how well it can be compared to higher end brands.
But I will update if I decide that if something happens, like break me out or something.
I seem to have a bit of a foundation hoard going on in my make-up draw (I have one of those plastic stacked draws, with each draw for foundation/eyes/lips/etc). I noticed that in my foundation draw, was my Max Factor Naturals Mineral Foundation. Due to me being quite self conscious about my pale skin, I tend to go for a liquid foundation hence I had never really used this foundation much. I decided to try it however, as the foundation I wear can sometimes look a bit much for the day, and I was hoping the minerals element would look a little more natural and blend in with my skin tone better.
This foundation is widely available online and in Superdrug and Boots. It will set you back around £12, which is slightly more than what I pay for my normal liquid foundation. The shade I purchased, was shade 40 in "Creamy Ivory", however it is also available in shades "Warm Almond", "Bronze", "Golden" and "Natural".
The packaging is probably the first thing which strikes me as being a little different and quirky, as it has a screw top mechanism allowing you to remove the brush from the lid, and also to remove the top section where the lid is held, to reveal where you dab the brush into the powder. The plastic is see through to allow you to see exactly the colour you are getting, although always try and find a tester before buying any foundation, particularly if you are pale like me!
As I just mentioned, this foundation does come with it's own brush, which is especially handy if you are new to wearing make-up, or for taking with you in your handbag. Although the brush is very soft, I personally find I prefer to use my Dior powder brush for applying the product with, simply because it's easier and has a larger surface area to really work the product in.
When you unscrew the bottom half of the packaging, you see the area in which the power is released, through tiny holes which if you shake carefully, more product should be released. The diameter of the brush fits the circle pretty well, although it's slightly more tricky with a larger brush, so be careful as the powder does go everywhere!
Applying the product is fairly easy, providing you don't overload the amount of product on the brush. It's recommended to tap off the excess, however I see this as wasting the product, so I prefer to only apply small amounts to the brush at a time and work it in. It's fairly easy to work in the product so it looks even, although because of my very pale skin it's never perfect. However I did feel an immediate difference in the way my skin felt, as it didn't feel so heavy.
As for applying other make-up over this, generally you should be okay to continue your routine as normal, however applying powder blusher with a brush is considerably more difficult as you end up brushing away your foundation! Nevertheless, for lighter and more natural looks it's certainly an effective alternative to liquid foundation.
The Claims:
*Buildable natural-looking coverage
*Suitable for sensitive skin
*Applies evenly
*Doesn't clog pores - oil free
Towards the end of the day, my skin continued to feel light and it didn't feel as weighed down in the evening as it usually does until I remove my foundation.
Unfortunately, I found this foundation didn't match my skin tone as well as I'd hoped, despite me buying the lightest shade available. My friend commented that it looked a little orange, and wasn't blended very well against my jaw line (I asked her for her comments she's actually very nice don't worry!). I think it's much difficult to tell how well powder foundation has blended as opposed to liquid, which appears much harsher when it is an incorrect shade, so I didn't notice it hadn't blended that well until I asked my friend.
Personally for me, I don't think I will be using this powder as a long term foundation. I have found it is a perfect for applying over liquid to help set it, and to give me a bit more colour and this is what I used this product for, before trying it out as an actual foundation. Due to it being very light, it also isn't brilliant at covering any dark circles or blemishes. I would therefore recommend this product to those who have fairly good skin which is not pale, who are simply looking for a light coverage in the daytime.
Max Factor are generally seen as the big guns of high street make-up, claiming to be what the experts use. On the whole they are a brand I respect, however this product simply didn't work as well as I had hoped. At £12, I think it is overpriced, especially as it's just a light coverage, and there are many rival brands offering similar mineral products for a lower price. It makes for a good powder over my foundation, and as something I can rely on when I don't want my skin to feel heavy, however it's not a foundation I can see myself buying again.
There are both good points and bad points to this foundation.
I think the best thing about it is that it is quick and easy to use and can be used easily when out and about. I found this to be very handy when I had just had a baby as I didn't have a lot of time to apply make up and this was quicker than other foundations to apply and I also did not have to apply any powder after this foundation.
The problem with this foundation though is that it does not give full coverage. It is not as good as a liquid foundation and I think it is ok for day but not really suitable for a night out or a long day as it does not last as well as a liquid foundation.
I used this foundation on holiday and think it is good for holidays as with a tan I don't feel like wearing a heavy foundation anyway.
Overall an ok foundation but don't think it gives full coverage.
I'd seen all the ads on TV for that expensive mineral make-up that does wonders for ex-child-stars, so I wondered if there was anything out there that could work a miracle for me. I've lived a fine life of wine, men, and song, with lots of outdoor time in wind, rain, and sun, and it shows in my face...
I rarely wear make-up but it's got to the point where I need something to cover up all the damage, so when I saw the Max Factor version in Boots I figured it would be worth a punt on a good brand name version, that wasn't too expensive.
There is a fairly good range of 5 colours. I had very fair skin originally but my face is now rather blotchy and I also get red areas frequently (the rest of me is still paper white), and then I get bad dark circles, so I always find it hard to find a foundation that matches. It's usually too dark for the pale bits, and too light for the red/dark bits. I picked the 'warm almond' option as being mid-range.
What's it like?
A duo pot containing 10g of foundation. Powder in the bottom half, brush in the top, with holes like a salt cellar letting the powder through into the part where you can use the brush to pick it up. It must be quite a robust pot as even though it's made of plastic, it has survived being bunged at the bottom of my bag, next to the kitchen sink, for nearly four months. The powder itself is quite fine, and the brush is soft and quite a good size.
How I use it
I find it quick and easy to apply. Just shake a little through the holes, dab the brush in it, then tap the brush a couple of times to knock the excess powder back into the pot. I think some of the people who have had problems with caking etc here, maybe have too much on the brush. If you tap the excess back into the pot, it stays there till next time, so there isn't much wasted. Bearing in mind the TV ads we've all seen (for a different brand) I circle my brush around my face and I find this blends it in very well. If I get a bit heavy-handed my nose can start to look a bit 'dusty', but it's easy to just brush that away. Just remember you can always add a bit more, but it's harder to take a bit off. It only takes me 30 seconds to whack the brush round; it's the quickest foundation I've used.
I also go over my eyes very lightly as it makes a good base for eye make-up.
Good points:
Even coverage if you move the brush around in small circles.
Economical - mine's just running out after 4 months (although I only use it about 3-4 times a week)
Did help even out my complexion a bit, but not completely.
It must make me look better as more than one person exclaimed 'you look well!' when I started wearing it.
It's very light and you don't feel as if you are wearing make-up
Bad Points:
I agree with other reviewers that it can get messy. I tend to do it over the sink and there's always a light dusting of brown powder over it afterwards. I don't know if that's just this product or if it happens with all of these mineral powders.
Sometimes the two parts of the pot come apart in my bag and then the brush gets squished up/covered in crumbs and some of the powder comes out. Again, might just be me not doing it up tightly enough.
It's a bit of a faff getting the brush back into the pot without trapping any of the hairs.
It is a bit on the orangey-side when you start looking at the darker end of the range. If you weren't careful you might look like you've been Tango'd.
Overall, I'm very pleased with it - especially as a 'non-make-up-wearer' (only special occasions and if I'm seeing a client at work and don't want to scare them) - as it's quick and easy and gives me a very natural result.
I don't know if this is true for most girls, but since my mums favourite makeup has always been Max Factor, I ended up trusting it too, and it's never really let me down. I always fall back on Max factor mascara after another disaster when I use another brand and foundation is another staple that has never really faltered for me. My last foundation was Max Factors "Second Skin" which I found to be perfect, easy to apply with a good finish. My only complaint was at the counter I was advised to buy the "natural" shade for my skin, but I found in pictures my neck and chest looked a lot darker than my face.
I decided that I would experiment this time and go for a different one in the max factor range and ended up wit the max factor natural minerals. The main reason was that a couple of years ago, I only used to wear tinted moisturiser and I really loved the light, natural feel that came with it. I'd heard some really great things about mineral foundations, and I wanted to find out whether I could still pull off a more natural look (or whether my complexion over the years has worsened, so I should really stick to a thicker foundation!!).
The Hype
The main "pull" to this mineral foundation is that its supposed to combine "build-easy" coverage with a gentle formula. Supposedly, it is the experts secret weapon to building natural looking skin, slowly building up the colour to the exact coverage you require. Priced at £11.99, it's not too badly priced - or is it?
Product Information and Packaging
This is where my issues begin with this product and I cannot tell you how disappointed I was on my first application of this. At first, the packaging is attractive and Max-Factor distinctive; like most mineral foundations, its composed of a cylindrical tube of powder which has a small round brush attached in a different tube on top of the first tube.
Use and Results
When I unwrapped the plastic surrounding the product and unscrewed the top, I saw for the first time two things that were disappointing. Firstly, the pot with the foundation in appeared to be only half full. This felt a bit of a rip off as although I've paid more for a foundation before, I have never had such a small pot of foundation to use let alone finding out it was only half full.
Which led to the next problem. Pulling off the lid reveals 4-5 small holes into the foundation, and without knowing what else I was supposed to do in applying it, I shook the bottle onto the brush, the result being that I had just a couple of concentrated spots on the brush of the product itself - and a lot of the product down my black top and over my dressing table!
Things went from bad to worse after that as I started to apply the brush to my face in circles. Despite buying the shade "Golden", after several attempts at tipping the product onto the brush and applying, I could see very little difference to the coverage and skin tone of my face.
Now before anyone comments, I finally worked out how I am supposed to apply this product (bare with me, this is the first sort of foundation I've had to use like this!) as what you are supposed to do is remove the circle covering the holes to the pot and replace the top which holds the brush and shake. When you remove the brush and its holder, there is some product on the top where you dip the brush into.
The problem is, unlike bronzer where you get a fine dusting of the product on your brush, this comes onto the brush in clumps this way, and although I did get a better coverage on my face, when I finished I seemed to have even more of the product on my black skirt/floor cardie/bed covers than before! Hardly value for money is it?
After about the fifth application of this and after finally working out what I was supposed to do, I could finally see some sort of result and satisfactory coverage. Two things struck me at this point - I'd used precious amounts of foundation in just one sitting when there wasn't a lot of product in the first place and secondly, I probably should have used a proper foundation! My skin clearly needed more coverage than I thought.
I stuck with this for a full week before giving up in complete exasperation and buying another max factor product (that, thankfully, has restored my faith in Max Factor products!) Although I got to grips with applying this product - alternating between shaking it out onto the brush and shaking some of it into the brush pot and dipping the brush in - I still ended up with more of the product on the floor or on my clothes than on my face! The claims that this foundation leaves a "flawless" finish is flawed in itself; as it just left me feeling that I applied it over and over again only to see the same bare skin in the mirror afterwards or at best, an uneven tone!
To be honest, since I first wrote this review, I've found a way to make it work better but still not perfect. I have started using my amber solaire fine mist spray tan on my face again, and after this, the coverage of this mineral foundation is just perfect. However, I still wouldn't recommend overall as putting on the spray tan first is defeating the point of the mineral foundation and I also still lose half the product to my carpet on application either way!
I'd recommend this product if you want a very light coverage or if you have perfect (young?!) skin that needs that extra special glow. To me, this is a glorified bronzer, which gives a very sheer finish and glow. I found it incredibly annoying that the powder was so loose; I constantly felt like most of it was dropping down my front than sticking to my face and that in turn made me doubt its value for money.
Despite my frustrations with it (and using up nearly half of the stuff before the week was up!) I'm going to keep it for the summer months where I don't use any foundation as I tan easily, but I might want to use something lighter than a bronzer on my face, this product is likely to be perfect for this. Otherwise, this product is just too much hard work if you have only five minutes in the morning to apply some make up!
I was attracted to this foundation after being a high rater of Bare Minerals or Sheer Cover foundations. I decided to try this out due to the very affordable price. I paid £8.99 for this which may be expensive for some, but for me this is great since my regular foundation is at a cost of £22.50 so it seemed great.
The packaging looked average; nothing special but did the job. A free kabuki style brush comes with the foundation and I absolutely hate it - it is spiky, very irritating on the skin and doesn't do well as an applicator, so instead I used my own elizabeth arden kabuki brush.
I applied this after moisturizing my skin and it applied pretty well, however you could clearly see the powder sitting on my skin no matter how much i blended it in. It also didnt provide much coverage. The colour of the foundation was also not very well, I used the lightest colour (Creamy Ivory) and it still applied orangey with chunks of glitter. So I have no idea what the other colours would come out like - make sure you test this product on your face before buying.
Needless to say I wasn't impressed at all with this product, I would rather pay the extra to use my regular foundation than use this as its not very good coverage and colour didn't appeal to me at all.
Deffinately try before you buy!
As fan of Max Factor Brand I bought this Foundation and wasn't disappointed at all.I don't like a foundation which makes you look like you are wearing mask.I love nature looking make-up. Max Factor Minerals Foundations works perfect with my skin and make it looks fresh and healthy. The only problems is that i have a combination type of skin and if I wear that foundation too long my skin looks a bit shine. My friend which have just normal or dry skin are using that foundation and it doesn't make their skin looks shine.I guess it which tape of the skin you have. I mostly use Max Factor Mineral Foundation on a daily basis.At work,holiday etc..It might be to light for a evening for going out .In some places is getting warm after few drinks and with that foundation evening make up might not last for long enough. Anyway all together is a good product.I will continue to use it with some breaks for evening and maybe warmer days
Well i was looking for a foundation and was struggling to find one. My skin is not that tanned but not really pale. My gran said this one was really good and offered to buy me it. She bought this one is shade 45 for me. She had also bought my sister one in shade 70 which is the one darker shade up but my sister didnt want it because it didnt suit her skin type. So i got hers as well.
You may think that that is silly becuase they are both 2 differnt shades but actually they both are ok for me. For a more naturaul look i would wearr shade 45 but then if i was going out to a party or a special occasion i put on shade 75 for more of a golden glow.
I would say that this would suit a dry skin rather than an oily skin. My skin is sometimes dry and sometimes oily and i find that when my skin is oily it only goes onto part of my skin and is all patchy. If your skin is dry it covers up most of it but if you have spots they dont cover it up completely, you can still see little bumps underneath.
The brush is really good and once the foundation is finished i keep the brush to use for blusher etc. When you are applying it justv put a little of the powder foundation in the middle of the brush and apply it in circular motions. To clearly see if it is applied evenly go and look in a mirror in a very bright room.
If you rush applying it will come on quite patchy but it is ok if you have the right type of skin. Before buying it i would recommend to go into a local boots or make up shop and try it out and go home and see how long it lasts for and if you think it looks o after a while. I do notice that once you apply it and if you lean on your face or touch your face a lot it will come off very very easily. It doesnt last the whole day and you would need to reapply it.
This foundation is ok but not brilliant.
Hurray for soft make-up brushes and hats off to Max Factor for providing a really beautifully soft sable-type application brush with their Natural Minerals Foundation rang! The downfall of so many mineral powder products, in my experience, is the inclusion of brushes that are horribly harsh on the face. Max Factor is one of the companies who have got this vital aspect right. Their applicator brush is of a high quality, and that really affects the smooth application of this product. I've tried lots of different mineral based make-ups and Natural Minerals from Max Factor is the one I would currently rate as the best. Although it is in powder form it doesn't give a dry powdery finish to the complexion once it's applied. It offers good coverage and a lovely 'glow' that many similar products fail to achieve. As a base it's great and other make-up products like eye shadow and blushers, tc, can be applied over the top of it. Another added advantage, as far as I am concerned, is that it is scent free and suitable for sensitive skin. Price wise it's in the middle band; not cheap, and not outlandishly expensive either. And, because it is a good quality product I find you need less of it than you might a cheaper less-effective version.
i bought this makeup before my wedding day as i was trying to find a makeup that looked very natural on my face and didnt looked all clogged up on my skin , as i was going to be doing my own and my 7 bridesmaids make up`s i needed a one that looked perfect for us all , i did try a few other brands but i must say this one topped all, them it made it was so good i only had to buy 2 different shades for it to match all of our skin tones as 1 of my bridesmaids had quite dark skin so she had to have a a darker shade but to find a powder foundation that 1 colour suits 7 diferent people is brilliant and must be good ,
doing my own wedding makeup was very nerve wrecking but using this foundation made it so easy to do , as i applied it it felt very light and gave my skin a lovely natural look straight away and as my make up was done i couldnt belive how lovely it all looked my skin tone looked perfect exactly what i was wanting to acheive ,
this mineral foundation is brilliant the best foundation max factor has ever made and i will be buying this from now on ,
my bridesmaids has also said they will be buying it as they were very immpressed with there look .
I got this as a present from my mum after reading all about natural mineral make up. I have the number 40 creamy ivory version and it is a pretty good product. There are multiple other shades avaliable though to match most skin tones, this is one of the palest available.
I don't really use foundation or anything so when I first got this I was a little bit unsure but it is really really easy to put on as it comes with a little soft brush and it is hard to go wrong because it is so natural looking. I have actually used the powder pretty much every day since I first opened it because it is so gentle to the skin and it does look nice on. It worked really well in the summer, better than othe liquid foundations I have tried because it was so light and it wasn't affected by the heat at all.
I don't have sensitive skin at all but the packaging does state "suitable for sensitive skin" along with "Doesn't clog pores. Oil-free", "Applies evenly" and "Buildable natural-looking coverage". Apart from these snippets (in 4 different languages) there is little else on the package, other than the name and shade.
I do think that it is easy to tip too much out of the little bottle though and as it is such a loose powder, I find it can rub off onto my clothes! It is really easy to blend however, and it evens out my skin tone.
This product is avaliable at most beauty retailers, including Boots and Superdrug, as well as many places online and I think it costs around £12 for a 10g tub. For the money, I think it isn't the best product i've ever tried, but I do like it and if it was on offer, I would probably buy it again.
A while ago there was a lot of fuss made about powder based foundations and there were two main reasons I decided join the craze. The first being the promise that it is more gentle on skin, as it allows the skin to breath more freely and prevents pores from becoming clogged, thus making it more suited to oily skin, though if your skin is very oily I will warn that it can become attached to the oil, making the skin appear thicker. My skin type is normal to dry but I still get the occasional spot and thus was enticed by this promise. The second reason I decided to experiment with powder foundation was its longer shelf life of 24 months, which is double the average liquid based foundation.
Once I decided to give it a go for me there was no question of which brand to choose, it had to be MaxFactor. With most make-up products I usually use a diverse range of brands but for years I have always chosen MaxFactor foundation as their Creamy Ivory shade matches perfectly with my pale skin tone and I have always found their foundations to be spot on perfection. More recently, however, I am begin to slowly loose my faith in the brand, since using both this foundation and their 'Seamless' foundation (£6.31 at Boots). These foundations are in no way disastrous but they have definitely not lived up to my high expectations.
MaxFactor Natural Minerals Foundation is £12.71 at Boots (varying prices elsewhere) and comes in a rounded plastic container. The tube is split into two sections: the bottom containing the powder and the top the brush to apply it with. It is available in 5 shade: Creamy Ivory, Warm Almond, Natural, Golden and Bronze. I chose the lightest shade, Ivory, and I'm once again entirely satisfied with how it matches my skin tone and it looks completely natural on me.
The biggest fault with the product is that its not the easiest to apply. To use, the idea is that you first shake the Natural Minerals Foundation into the sifter (top section), then lightly dip the brush in and sweep across the face in a gentle stroking motion. Sounds simple enough, and it is very quick to use but unfortunately it is also very, very messy. I am yet to use this product without getting covered in flecks of the powder, so I would highly recommend applying before you get dressed. With practice, however, it does get better but still remains quite messy foundation.
MaxFactor promises that this foundation 'goes beyond the call of duty by combining build-easy coverage' and that due to its 'unique concave dispenser and 100% natural brush you can achieve your most natural results.'
Whilst I'm not a fan of my pale skin I am lucky that my skin tone is very even and it doesn't take much help for my skin to look fresh and healthy. In my opinion the foundation is very effective in creating 'natural results' as its light and the shading is very natural, my skin looks fresh, young and with a little colour to it. However, the results are quite shimmery and illuminating and whilst I'm a fan of this I know that many feel the matte look is more natural. I still feel it is a foundation more suited to summer as the coverage is quite light and fresh looking.
With this product it is also easy to build up the desired coverage and to place more emphasis on certain areas, so in many respects it does live up to the MaxFactor promise. However, the results don't last very long and by the end of the day I feel I look the same as I would with no foundation and for the price tag I would quite like a longer lasting look.
I have since played around with the product and find that I achieve the best results when using it to even skin tone on top of a liquid based foundation. Whilst I am happy to use the remainder this way and I'm pleased with the results, I don't think I shall be buying this product again, as at £12.71 I'd quite like to just need one foundation.
A while back I reviewed L'Oreal mineral foundation and I really liked it and how the whole minerals effect worked. I had originally intended to by this one, the Max-Factor Natural Minerals but that day they did not have it in stock and so I chose L'Oreal. Recently though, I had a Boots voucher for my birthday and if I bought two items from Max Factor they were giving away a really cool make-up bag full of miniatures and so I bought this mineral foundation along with a mascara.
I have bog standard skin, veering slightly towards the oily type at times, and it is because of this that I find I get on quite well with minerals. I have good skin and so really just require something to even it lightly rather than a liquid foundation that gives a lot of coverage. I chose -70 Natural. It seemed most like my skin tone, and the good thing about minerals is that you can apply as little or as much as you need, so a shade or two out is not that visible.
The Packaging
The mineral powder is sectioned away in its own little container at the bottom of the product. You just pop the container holding the brush off the top and there is like a little seal keeping the powder inside. If you think along the lines of a salt shaker it is very similar to this.
Once you have popped off the little seal, you can pop your brush from the top of the container and use it to apply the powder. I tend to drop a little bit of powder directly on to the brush as the other ways seem to loose a lot of your make up. It isn't cheap so it's better to use it sparingly. Also, a little goes a long way.
The Effect
I loved my previous mineral foundation. It was so natural, but I have found that this new one by Max-Factor wears off far too quickly and it is much too sparkly for my liking too. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I can see the glimmers of the dust on my skin. I know this is supposed to be illuminating, but its not very daytime, and I feel conscious of it at work. I suppose from a distance my skin probably looks healthy and plump, but when you are close up I look a little like I am rehearsing for a west end show as I am so sparkly (Ok, a wee exaggeration)
Value for Money
Its expensive at £12.99, but it will last the course. Although I am not in love with mine I am going to keep using it until it is finishes as it isn't that bad, but it isn't a patch on the L'Oreal version either. The thing about mineral foundations is that they last a life time, this still looks barely touched even though I am using it daily for around three weeks now.
In regards to using a mineral foundation, I would like to point out that it isn't something you should try if you have dry skin- the powder will cling to dry areas and emphasise them. And also, if you are having a really oily day you may find that it clings to the oil too. Mineral is a good bet for someone who has fairly normal skin with the very occasional oily patch. I find it lets my skin breathe and it never gives me spots like I would sometimes get with a liquid foundation.
Afraid not, Its not that I would not recommend mineral powders, its just that this one falls very badly short from being a good product. It is very expensive, very sparkly and wears off too quickly.
It's a no from me Max Factor. It seems that you and I do not get along very well.

I like wearing mineral foundation during the day because it is light and sheer, and quick to apply in the mornings. I ran out and picked this up from Tesco. Not cheap at £12. I was really dissappointed. For some reason Maxfactor have decided to make this powder sparkly! I didn't notice when it was still in the packaging. I have oily skin with blemishes, and when I applied this, it was just as blemished and uneven, but clumps of glitter had trapped themselves in the blemishes- awful! I'm not talking about light reflecting pigments (which many brands offer) either- this is full on sparkle! The packaging is as much of a let down. The brush is fine, but getting the right amount of powder on the brush is impossible, without having blow (and therefore waste) half of it off the end. It ends up everywhere! I know this is a problem with mineral powders generally, but other manufacturers have dealt with it much better. I went back to Tesco that night and bought Collection 2000's mineral powder, much better, and around £4! I now use this product as a highlighter on my cheekbones!
I bought this product from Boots last week. I'm unfortunate enough to suffer from hormonal breakouts on my face and wanted a foundation which would be light and non-aggrivating to my skin. As a fan of Max Factor products, Natural Minerals seemed the perfect choice.
The testers were in tiny pots with limited colour choice. As they were all too dark, I took a guess and went for Warm Almond to enhance my tan.
As a newbie to the world of mineral make-up I wasn't sure what to look for and was very surprised to find no ingredients listed on the packaging or stand. However, trusting Max Factor on past experience and reputation I bought it anyway.
Opening the product left me quite confused as to how a decent amount of product could be dispensed from such a small opening. However I shook the jar, dippped in the kabuki brush and lightly brushed the product across my skin.
The powder went everywhere! All over my black dress, bag, up in the air and even on the mirror. Breathing in, I accidentally snorted some up my nostrils! Nice....
The powder felt very caked on and flaky. The colour was patchy but I decided to carry on using it for a week just in case I was doing something wrong.
After just one week only half of the product was left. My nostrils had been attacked several times and I ended up resorting to holding my breath when applying this product! The powder went all over my handbag and the brush hairs started to fall out / get stuck in the screw lid. The coverage was still awful and it still felt really thick and heavy on my skin.
To make matters worse, my skin got worse! Knowing that pure minerals wouldn't do this to my skin, I scoured the internet for the mysterious ingredient list. Allegedly this foundation is full of talc and something called pabogens which aren't too good for you. It contains parabens too, and these are currently subject to debate throughout the beauty industry. They are known to cause skin irritations and can apparently even lead to cancer! I don't know about the cancer bit, but this is still scary stuff and I have discovered that I am allergic to these parabens (preservatives). They are a main ingredient in most products and are difficult to avoid, but to put them in a "natural mineral" product is just taking the biscuit really.
I took this straight back to my nearest Boots where they were only too happy to offer me a refund (even without the reciept).
However, I won't let this bad experience put me off mineral foundations... and have quickly replaced it with one which has guaranteed purity. I'll let you know how that one goes...

Eclipse Movie Review of Likes and Dislikes
JessMaln's Eclipse Movie Discussion
The following post is from JessMaln, who posted it on the OnSugar blog, Paranormal Romance Addicts.
I freaking LOVED Eclipse! It is now my favorite of all the three Twilight movies and in my opinion it was adapted really well.
- Here's what I really liked about it:
- The makeup and special effects were much better than the previous movies
- The fight scenes were epic!!!
- That scene between Alice and Jasper as they were practicing fighting was sooo sweet
- I loved watching the Cullens and the Quileutes teaming up to fight the newborns
- Riley was really cute (sorry I really had to say this lol)
- There was a lot of kissing between Bella and Edward. . . that scene in the bed, what can I say
- I loved to watch Rosalie and Jasper's story. . . Jasper, Jasper. . .damn he was looking hot in this movie, all bad boy and stuff!
- There was a lot more Edward
- The proposal was so perfect, I had this silly smile on my face swooning all over Edward
To see this blogger's critiques of Eclipse, just keep reading.
What I didn't like that much:
- Victoria, Rachelle portrayed a much scarier and badass Victoria. And her hair looked terrible!
- When the vampires died it made a sound like glass breaking. . . I wasn't really sure what to think about that.
- Eclipse is probably my favorite book in this series, I just don't like one tiny thing: Bella kissing Jacob. I didn't particularly enjoyed watching that (not exactly something I didn't like about the movie, I simply don't like it in the book), because it was like Edward proposes to her, five minutes later in the movie Jacob finds out about it and gets all pissed off and for some reason Bella thinks that by kissing him everything is going to be OK and Edward doesn't seem to care about it that much. . . whatever!
- I hated when the movie ended and realized the 1st part of Breaking Dawn will be released on November 2011, seriously WTF??
Overall, Eclipse exceeded my expectations and I wish I already had the DVD to watch it again . . . well I guess I'll have to stop by the movie theater again this weekend.
P.S. Now seriously, wasn't that scene between Alice and Jasper the most adorable thing ever?!?

SCOTT JAGOW: Eastman Kodak is finding it hard to get out of the photo business. The company posted a lost in the first quarter, as it cuts jobs and closes factories. Alisa Roth reports.
ALISA ROTH: The bad news is Kodak lost more than $150 million and sales fell by more than 7 percent in the first quarter. The good news? That's much less than it lost in the first quarter last year.
Kodak's trying to ease its way out of the film production business. The company's trying to cut its work force in half. About 30,000 employees will lose their jobs when it's all over.
That's proving to be a costly venture — so far, the company's cut 23,000 jobs, at a cost of $2.7 billion.
In New York, I'm Alisa Roth for Marketplace.
SCOTT JAGOW: Kodak also just introduced a new line of inkjet printers. These are the opposite of most printers — the printer is expensive, the cartridges are cheap.

The summer construction season is in full swing for the Muskingum County Engineer's Office. As they wrap up projects others are just beginning.
Since March the Moxadarla Bridge has been closed to traffic as crews work to repair floor beams on the bridge and pour a concrete decking. The steel removed from the structure will be reused for other projects.
"We try to definitely recycle our older bridge if we can," said County Engineer Doug Davis. "We save all the steel out of them. If the rust is too bad we'll scrap that part of the bridge but we save all the steel off our bridges and all of our structural steel and reuse it here in the shop."
The bridge which cost $500,000 to repair should open within 10 days and will give the structure a 50-60 years life span. The Philo/Duncan Falls Bridge is now down to one lane as they rehab decking on one side of the bridge. It's crucial in keeping the structure functioning.
"If that bridge had to be shut down completely you'd have to go clear to Gaysport or clear to Zanesville to go around and that would take you 20 minutes to a half hour to go around that structure," explained Davis.
The Northpointe project continues as well. Davis said it should be put out to bid soon. It will be bid in two separate projects, one to fix the main slip and another to fix the other slips along the roadway. The Piper Road bridge damaged in an accident will also be replaced this summer.

PiJune 18, 2011 – 11:58 am
PI is among the significant constants of mathematics and equivalent to 3.14159 (approx). In Euclidean geometry PI represents as a ratio of the circumference of a circle to its breadth which is equal to the ratio of the area of a circle to the square of the radius of a circle. PI is used in many formulae in science, mathematics and also used in engineering. PI cannot be shown as a fraction m/n, (m and n are integers) because it is an irrational number. Accordingly its decimal representation neither ends nor repeated.
Apart from being irrational, Pi is transcendental number that means it has no fixed series of the algebraic operations on the integers which could ever create it. If we will look at the record of mathematics, hundred times attempt has been made to actually find out Pi more correctly and to understand its nature; concern with the number at large has carried over in to culture. In Greek words the name of this letter is pronounced as PI and in English it is pronounced as Pie.
PI is used in the formula as it helps in finding the circumference or the perimeter of a circle. To remember a long number of digits became a mania for some people this took place even before computers were able to calculate PI. In the 20th century when advance digital computers came in to the existence increased the rate of new PI calculation series.
Actually the value of PI has been shortened to 50 decimal places but originally its value consists of more than trillion numbers. But basic applications such as to find the circumference or perimeter of a circle will hardly require more than a couple decimal places. For instance the value of PI shortened to 11 places of decimal is more than enough to calculate the perimeter or circumference of the globe with exactness of a millimeter and also one shortened to 39 decimal places is enough to find the circumference of a circle that can be fit in the universe to a precision equivalent to the size of a atom like hydrogen atom.

Just Add Water has released the first gameplay footage for Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee New N' Tasty. As you'd expect from an HD remake, New N' Tasty applies a fresh coat of paint to the original game.
Abe's Oddysee split the game world into a series of isolated screens. However, New 'N Tasty has one seamless world. It all looks a whole lot sexier too, due to the characters becoming 3D models instead of 2D sprites.
JAW revealed this weekend that they're going to tweak the gameplay of the original as well, mostly to make it more accessible. However, the puzzle-platforming action of the original will remain intact. The visual upgrades could turn out to be the most dramatic changes.
New 'N Tasty will be arriving in Autumn 2013 on the PS3, PS Vita, PC and Xbox 360.

Blue's News mentioned a free gaming sampler weekend and a sale of Payday: The Heist. Your overlord got to play it within the last 30 minutes before its free sampler ended at 1:00 PM PDT, but the game kept going until logging out/exiting at about 2:30 PM PDT (about two hours of rare gaming!). It is basically a first perspective shooter (FPS) game that uses the action packed Left 4 Dead (L4D) game engine. Its theme is based on real life without zombies. Your overlord enjoyed L4D games a few years ago during their free weekends and liked this game's theme. The game theme had police, (special weapons and tactics (SWAT), hostages (tying their hands up!), tasers (ugh), snipers (annoying), guns, money, etc. The catch is that the players are the bad guys instead of the good guys. Your overlord played the bank (like The Heat and The Dark Knight movies' bank heits (even the clown masks!)), the chase in the city, and the bridge maps (cool rain and thunders). The game also has plenty of violence and cussings.
The game was fun even though some scenes were tedious for newbies in single players, but online multiplayer was a blast especially with those who already know how to play. There were weird minor annoying quirks like too many enemies that never stop, but overall it was fun. Your sick (actually stopped it from the game's intensity and fun for a few minutes!) BUSY overlord had no free time to play more nor plans to buy the game. :( Also, the game ran well on an old computer system. :)

Grimoire - Fixed Demo Coming
A new updated demo for Grimoire that is intended to be be stable on all Windows platforms is planned to be available at the end of the week, or something like that.
I don't want to jinx it, but things are going really well. The test machine I could duplicate all the reported problems on the demo with has become error free since I got a new free upgraded version of the Fastgraph library from Ted Gruber software. Ted has provided the best support you could imagine since the day I first bought I license from him for Fastgraph.
Since the new library was compiled in I have almost played to the 1/4 mark of the entire game using cheat codes. I have fought at least 322+ combats without a crash. The one error I encountered (a real error flagged by the built-in logger) was a small bug in some NPC logic which I have since fixed.
At the end of the week or thereabouts I will release a new demo intended to be stable on all Windows platforms including 64 bit Win 7 and the extended demo will be released for all people who have pledged. Please keep in mind the extended demo is still a game in progress and is still a beta version. This means it shouldn't freeze or lock up on you, ever, but you might still get the occasional Grimoire assertion on some bad data.
The last time I played through the first area I got all the way to the end with no crashes but of course being the developer it is likely I won't try half the things that will be played with in a public extended demo. So just don't flip out if the beta extended demo doesn't look like a totally polished and complete game yet.

If you noticed like I did a pint sized player who took over midfield for the Philadelphia Independence in Sunday's semi-final against the MagicJack and wondered idly, "She is something special", don't go into the scouting business just yet.
Veronica Boquete is already out there and is the WPS player of the year because she is special. For those who've followed her career in Spain, her exploits for the Independence come as no surprise. In the 8 months since she joined she has led them to the final scoring 5 goals and providing 4 assists. Three of those goals have proven to be match winners.
Boquete is listed as a striker but her versatility lies in her attacking midfielder role where she shows Cesc Fabregas like vision with her passes. She might have something to say about that because she played for FCD Espanyol at the Cornella Prat, fierce derby rivals of Barca for a season before Independence coach Paul Riley brought her to Chester in January. The Independence have since gone 10-1-1 when she plays. Their record without her is a less stellar 2-3-2. Which sums up what instant impact is all about.
"When she is in the line-up, the rules say that we win the game," laughed Riley.
The semi-finals against the MagicJack pitted them against a side which boasted nine internationals who had done duty in the recent World Cup. Amongst them Abby Wambach, Megan Rapinoe, Christy Rampone, Lisa De Vanna, and Shannon Boxx. A side packed with talented individuals with a track record of changing the game in an instant. But it was Boquete showing her patience and touch on the ball who opened up the game for Amy Rodriguez and Natasha Kai. The movement on and off the ball was quite outstanding and behind it all was Boquete playing conductor. The Independence came ever closer to scoring but Kai and Rodriguez proved a trifle wasteful.
There was a moment of petulance just before halftime when her finely measured pass collected by Rodriguez failed to find the net. She quickly recovered and encouraged Rodriguez after which she checked on Kai stretching on the sidelines.
Her mini intervention seemed to have worked. The Independence struck twice through Kai and Rodriguez in the second half and the MagicJack's increasingly desperate but entirely predictable response was to find Wambach who was effectively marshaled by Kia McNeill. The MagicJack had no one in their side that could match Boquete's command of the game.
Boquete knows exactly the difference she brings to the game.
"In Spain, soccer is more possession of the ball, touch and movement. It is less physical but more technical than in the U.S."
Coach Riley elaborates on it further crediting her for her football IQ.
"She is as smart as everybody thought," said Riley, who was recently named the WPS coach of the year. "She is that good. She is clever and I think she is just different. She is one of those world-class players."
These qualities make her a standout. The Independence will never be a one dimensional team with her in the midst. Now, they take on Western New York in the finals this Saturday with their big ticket names including Marta and Christine Sinclair in the WPS's most potent attack.

Classic and very rare Thunderbird fuselage
Years ago I had Ron Wagner make this fuselage for me. The original Thunderbirds had a blade (or keel) mount for the radio, but I asked him to make me a bucket nose. I think he ended up making a couple. I never got around to building the rest of the airplane, and, in fact, sold my original Thunderbird.
Well, a few years later, in the early 2000s, I bought the T-bird back. I'd always loved it and I'd won a bunch of contests with it over a 4 year period or so. I stuck it away for a future restoration project.
Now, many years later, I am now undertaking that project and have decided to stick with the original fuselage, so I'm selling this one.
It weighs 15 ounces... a bit beefy by today's standards, perhaps, but I promise, this thing will take a lickin'.
These fuselages were laid up in a pressure mold with a bladder inside them that was inflated to lock everything in place. This one is made with E-cloth, kevlar and carbon fiber.
As you can see in the photos, there are little fairings that Ron molded that can be mounted to the top of the wing and used to blend the wing joint to the fuselage. I have shown some comparisons of this fuse to the original.
The overall length of my completed model, from nose tip to back of rudder was 61". I flew it with a 144" wing that was 10 1/2" at the root. The airfoils were SD 7032 at the root and SD 7034 at the tip. At the time I believe these were proprietary. I still have a set of templates made from Phenolic around in my shop somewhere. The stabs used the SD-8000 airfoild as I recall.
NOTE: The wing saddle will accomodate just about any airfoil. I have built a number of different wings for it, but at 80 ounces with the SD7032-7034, the airplane thermaled like nothing else at the time.
Dimensions are as follows...
Length - 57" from nose tip to rear of fin. With rudder added it should be 61" from tip to base of rudder.
Nose tip to front of wing saddle - 16 3/4"
Wing chord - 10 1/2"
Rear of wing saddle to front of fin - 24 1/2"
$150.00 plus shipping
Now lowered to $125.00

Do you have any pics of what the finished bird would look like?
Trader Rating: 201
Some clarification is in order here. The SD7032 was never proprietary, it came out of the Selig-Donovan series of airfoils and was widely published by Selig. Wagner may have had earlier access to it by virtue of his participation in producing some of the wind tunnel models for Selig (I did 3 or 4 myself), but it was never proprietary. The SD7032 was a "Selig-ized" version of the older Eppler 214.
I've never heard of the SD7034 or ever seen mention of it, perhaps you meant the SD7037, which is a lower camber variant of the SD7032, was published about the same time as the SD7032, and would be a logical transition airfoil for the SD7032. The SD7037 also found wide use as a stand alone foil on many designs in the 90's (Tekoa Shadow, Super V to name some).
Also, the SD8000 was a low camber wing airfoil designed for F3B (never found much success); perhaps you meant the SD8020 which is a symmetrical foil designed for tail surfaces and was much more effective than the NACA008 which was a popular tail foil before the SD8020 came out.
Nope... 7034. It was given to Ron Wagner for the Thunderbird. The coordinates for it are in Eric Sanders' Compufoil program. I have them as well, along with a set of accurate templates.Attached is a photo of Eric with his Thunderbird and an article from Soaring Digest showing me with mine as well as a few photos of the restoration project.
When I got the Thunderbird originally, Wagner was still awaiting the 7032-7034 airfoils. It came with cores for what I think might have been an Eppler 193 wing. He sent me a set of cores and spars (an entire wing kit) and the coordinates for the foils. Wagner's method for wing building (he also had a video) was awful... way over engineered and rediculously heavy. Luther Mitchell had built one too... I think it was the first production T-bird, but Wagner made the wing for him... it was an early model fuse of just kevlar and that turned out to be a disaster. Luther's plane originally weighed about 105 ounces.
My first version of the plane came in at about 90 ounces. But with lighter foam and Obechi sheeting instead of kevlar and HP cell sheeting on top of blue foam, as well as my own spar system,as well as my own set of stabs, I got the plane to weigh about 82 ounces. I was fantastic! To this day I think it was one of the... if not the greatest airplane I ever flew. Not competative now, of course, but my wing was bullet-proof and could take anytthing a winch could give it.
When I started flying this plane with that wing, the 7037 did not yet exist, though it came along soon after. No one else had the 7032 at the time I first launched that airplane. The 7034 remained proprietary and probably was unnecessary in the grand scale.
At some point I remember making some wing models for Selig myself.
By the way, I've lowered the price to $125.00
Attached also is a copy of a Soaring Digest article about the Thunderbird

Talk of proprietary Selig airfoils caught my attention here. The only proprietary RC airfoils that I did were ones done while at Penn State (after Princeton tests and before UIUC). During that period of time I designed some airfoils for Ray Olsen and also Sal DeFrancesco (hoping to 'make a killing on royalties'). The airfoils were:
S9000 used by Ray Olsen on the Blackhawk
S9037 used by Sal DeFrancesco on the Opus
Great airplanes, but not so great business model.
The airfoils were eventually released on 6/23/2002 (got the OK to release them). After that, I put them online. There were some related S9xxx sections also released at the same time (tail surface airfoils). They are also online (airfoil data site http://www.ae.illinois.edu/m-selig/a...d_database.htm).
So the SD7032, SD7034, etc were never proprietary, but people who built the airfoil wind tunnel models for the SoarTech 8 book did have coordinates before they got published.

The Thunderbird is a vague memory for me, but I did/do own a Blackhawk (which was a follow-on, I think). The wings at the time were amazing -- bullet-proof all-carbon. The weak link (at least w/ mine) was the fuselage, which was cracked. I've still got everything ... Not for sale!
It would be a shame If I can't find a home for this fuselage. It's as strong as a baseball bat but reasonably light. It would make an excellend slope plane, as well as a Thermal Duration plane.

JPMorgan Chase Art Travelers through Time:
Literacy and History through the Arts
Through a generous grant from JPMorgan Chase, the Hofstra University Museum initiated a ground-breaking school partnership with several neighboring communities. The program, JPMorgan Chase Art Travelers through Time: Literacy and History through the Arts, fosters links between classroom curriculum and the study of authentic cultural objects selected from the Museum's collection. The program introduces children from Freeport, Hempstead and Uniondale school districts to the unlimited possibilities for museums to expand and enrich their world.
View Art Travelers Books
The program, correlating to the New York State Learning Standards in the Arts, Social Studies, Science and Language Arts, was developed collaboratively with museum and classroom educators. Tied to the third grade curriculum, it engages students and teachers in the discovery process of learning through objects. In-gallery museum experiences are complemented by the museum educators visiting the schools before and after the Museum trip.

This final note on the way out today, a word or two about the protests in Lower Manhattan that've become known as Occupy Wall Street. Maybe a couple of hundred people have been camping out for two weeks or so not far from the New York Stock Exchange.
Until today, all we really knew was that they didn't like the way things are going in this country. There's now an official Declaration of the Occupation of New York City on their website.
It's pretty long, but here's the key part: "We come to you at a time," it says, "when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments."
There's a list of 20 specific complaints, and an asterisk at the bottom that says -- and I'm quoting -- "These grievances are not all-inclusive."
Also check out our Marketplace Morning Report piece on the protests, with a slideshow, here.

Awesome review, Sam. I'm sorry people haven't commented, though. The way you bring the album's importance with the intro and get right to it in the second paragrah without wasting words is really great.
I noticed that "instraments" in the second paragraph should be instruments. Other than that, awesome. Pos.
Digging: Car Seat Headrest - Teens of Denial
Record is so good, would be better if it wasnt for Laughing Stock, which seems to me to be kind of just a better version of this.
Which is my one disagreement with this, is you play the "post rock pioneeer" card too much when their really not, obviously its original but just not to the extent you suggest imo.
Album Rating: 4.5yes this is wonderful, but piggybacking on YouAreMySilence, I don't think it's as pioneering as you make it out to be. Sure it was the first record to be flat out called "post rock," but it came well after Talk Talk's "defining" records. To me this sounds like a well executed version of what Talk Talk did when they combined jazz with ambient rock. It's kind of like what Souvlaki is to Loveless: both are fantastic records, but one clearly has more influence regardless of which one you like more simply because one of them came first and introduced a whole new sound.
so I should listen to this? I read this review the other day.
Album Rating: 4.5oh definitely it's a fantastic album, great sound. A Street Scene is my early favorite
Album Rating: 4.5Revisiting an old friend here.
Album Rating: 4.5The Loom is one of the all time best post rock songs. Actually my bad it's Pendulum Man. oops
Such a relaxing album, perfect for going to sleep. Pendulum Man is some great work
Album Rating: 4.590's post-rock is sooo much different from more modern post-rock. I think I prefer it. more originality
Digging: NoMeansNo - Wrong
Album Rating: 4.0yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Album Rating: 4.5i think this is too experimental and weird to be labeled post-rock personally
not really
street scene is such an amazing song
Album Rating: 4.0This is a good short review dude
album rules
Umm can somebody please explain to me why the FUCK no one ever recommends this in post rock discussions?
Album Rating: 4.5I would have if you asked
this is essential if you like post rock at all
People have seem to have forgotten about this album

Christine Quinn leads 2013 Democrats, who lead Joe Lhota
A Quinnipiac poll out this morning shows three major Democratic candidates for mayor beating Joe Lhota, the leading Republican mayoral candidate.
Those head-to-head matchups, between Lhota and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and former comptroller Bill Thompson, aren't close.
Story Continued Below
The poll did not ask about a hypothetical match-up between Lhota and the current city comptroller, John Liu, whose campaign treasurer and fund-raiser are facing federal charges for skirting campaign finance laws.
Among Democrats, Quinn retains a double-digit lead over her likely rivals. Thirty-five percent of Democratic voters pick her for mayor, compared to 11 percent who pick de Blasio, 10 percent who pick former Thompson and 9 percent who picked Liu.
Quinn has steadily risen in Quinnpiac polling, going from 26 percent percent in May to 35 percent today. The other candidates have basically held steady, including de Blasio, who got a short burst of attention when an old magazine essay written by his wife was rediscovered by the media.
When asked if they have a favorable or unfavorable view of De Blaiso, Liu and Thompson, a majority of Democratic voters said they "haven't heard enough" to form an opinion. For Quinn, only 26 percent say they haven't heard enough.
The poll also asked about former mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is supporting Lhota, and who remains a polarizing figure in the city. Giuliani's favorability rating among all voters is 48-43 percent. Among Democrats, it's 38-55; among independents, it's 55-37; among black voters, it's 32-62.

Bob Moon: This being a Friday, let's say we take a break from the big news of the week and find out what didn't make it onto the radio. Stuff you might end up talking about at a dinner party this weekend.
Courtesy of Brendan Newnam, Rico Gagliano and the rest of the Marketplace staff.
Rico Gagliano: Stacey Vanek-Smith, senior reporter. What story are you going to be talking about this weekend?
Stacey Vanek-Smith: Well, there's a developer in China who's going to build a Times Square.
Gagliano: Like the New York Times Square?
Vanek-Smith: Yeah. The far west part of Beijing, it's going to have Broadway theaters, a cultural district, residential areas, hotels. They are replicating Times Square in China.
Gagliano: Can't they find a beloved landmark of their own to deface with giant digital billboards that nobody wants to see? New York has so many more beautiful things. This is like looking at somebody and saying, "You have a beautiful face, I would like to reproduce the wart."
Brendan Newnam: Brett Neely, reporter for Marketplace. What's your story this week?
Brett Neely: My story this week is about this rancher in Nevada who wants to plant three million, what he calls, "God's miracle trees." It's a Chinese import called the kiri tree. I think that they're not miracle trees; I think they're nightmare trees. These things apparently grow 20 to 50 feet a year. And then if you chop them down, they just grow back out of the stump again.
Newnam: Oh my God, it's like a zombie tree forest.
Neely: In the desert!
Gagliano: Jeremy Hobson, New York reporter. What story are you going to be talking about this weekend?
Jeremy Hobson: Well, Rico, you know how most of the time when people counterfeit bills, they're big bills, like $20s, $50s and $100s?
Gagliano: Uh, yeah. From my counterfeiting days, I remember that well.
Hobson: Exactly. Well now, it appears people are counterfeiting ones. There was bar in Alaska that found 13 fake one dollar bills in a tip jar.
Gagliano: And if that isn't a recession-era story, I don't know what is. "No one's going to believe we have $20 bills, let's just make ones."
Hobson: Well, the other thing is, some of these dollar bills were just printed out of a printer. They were just blank on one side. Obviously, quality is suffering in this recession.
Moon: The podcast is called "Dinner Party Download."

As the title says, I think I might have picked the wrong education. I have been studying biology for full-time 6 years now but the last 3 years I haven't been able to think of anything else then art, so much that it have engulfed all my free time. If I had known when I was 18 that just studying art will make you better and that it wasn't something you were born with and if I didn't listen to everyone around me who said you couldn't make any money or a career in art - then I would have instantly gone to an art school.
But after I now graduate (doing final graduation project now) I will be 25, and if I work for a year in biology and then go to an art-school to further myself in art (and get art-discipline which I lack) which is what I really want to do, then if I take a 3 year education or so then I will end up being almost 30 when graduating from that. I am just wondering if it will be worth it, going back to school, again.
There is also the possibility to at my spare time by the side of my biology-job to study art, but I fear I will be too tired and never really be able to give it my all, and progress will be immensely slower then what would happen at an art school. And to be honest my art-discipline is quite horrible.
I am not sure what I should do, and if what I want to do is worth it in the end. All I really want is to work with art, biology is a big interest of mine but compared to art it fades to nothingness. I can honestly no longer see myself doing anything else then art in the future. I should also mention that because of this I have been in a depression for quite some time, which I am struggling to get out of.
I would like to know if anyone been in a similar situation and might have any advice. I would very much like to listen. Any thought are welcome.

NEW YORK -- A quick take on No. 2 Kentucky's 75-65 win over No. 11 Kansas in the second game of the Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden.
What it means: In a battle of two of the most storied programs in college basketball, the Wildcats prevail over the Jayhawks to improve to 2-0 on the season. Kansas drops to 1-1. A very young Kentucky team puts on an impressive show in front of a national television audience.
The skinny: This game started out like the first game of the evening, Duke versus Michigan State, with a tight first half. Both teams shot less than 41 percent from the field. Both teams had problems taking care of the ball -- Kentucky had 12 first-half turnovers, Kansas had 10. The game was tied 28-28 at intermission.
Then, just like Duke in Game 1, Kentucky opened up the second half with a big run -- in the Wildcats' case, an 11-0 run to go up 41-30. Kentucky led by as many as 17 in the second half, and never let Kansas get within striking distance once they surged ahead.
From downtown: Kentucky shot just 1-for-6 from 3-point range in the first half, but was a sparkling 6-for-9 in the second half. Sophomore guard Doron Lamb, a Queens native, knocked down three of them in a short time span when the Wildcats were extending their lead. He finished with a team-high 17 points -- one of five Kentucky players in double figures. The others were sophomore Terrence Jones (15 points), and freshmen Anthony Davis (14 points, six blocked shots), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (12 points) and Marquis Teague (12 points).
In a losing cause: Senior Tyshawn Taylor, who played for Bob Hurley at nearby St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, led the Jayhawks with 22 points. Taylor shot just 3-for-13 from the field, but made 15 of 17 from the foul line. As a team, Kansas shot just 20-for-59 from the field (33.9 percent), and 4-for-15 on 3-pointers. The Jayhawks also had 11 shots blocked.
What's next: Kentucky will play Penn State in Uncasville, Conn., on Saturday as part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off. Kansas faces Georgetown next Monday in Hawaii, as part of the Maui Invitational.

Refreshing pages is just as bad as not making a loan or credit card payment and should be avoided. I am kidding of course, I would say that there must have been a glitch or that you credit scores updated as they do here every so many days. Did any changes occur to your reports that could have caused a score change? Be aware that scores will fluctuate, but not by that much. If you are in the process of building your credit, it is a good idea to watch your FICO scores in addition to any other scoring systems that you follow. Most lenders use FICO scores so those are the ones that I worry about and they seem to be less volatile.

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

I don't typically partake of smoky black teas very often, but I can't really think of a good reason why. This tea will probably change that a bit…I wasn't sure how much I would like it from the scent and the first sip or two, but it grew on me pretty quickly. I'm looking forward to a second steeping when I get back home, and will probably experiment with trying it a little stronger in the future (not to say that it's lacking in that area at four minutes). Smoky and a little sweet, I'm a fan.
