An Aimless Ramble About Life
Sainted Mother and Don C. were the type of people who pretty much just winged their way through life.
Sure they had certain things they wanted to do, goals to set and achieved; they wanted to be financially secure in retirement and all, but they also liked to buy something they wanted just because they wanted it, you know?
I was fortunate to have some great friends while growing up, and in contrast to my parents, one set of parents of some friends, several brothers, were of the old-school, hard working, northeast US, frugal, Yankee stock.
Being at their home was always a situation ripe with possibilities for misunderstanding and therefore (to me at least) humor.
And I have to admit now, and I'm sure I've probably mentioned this on this blog before, that I have always been "that person" who laughs at inappropriate times.
When I was a kid in school, 9.9 out of every 10 times I got into trouble, it was because someone who knew I was ALWAYS easy to make laugh, would make a face or whisper some funny remark then sit back straight-faced, while I struggled to keep quiet and, of course, lost that struggle and ended up giggling in class. All by myself. I'm sure my teachers all thought I was nuts.
I wish I had a dollar for every time I got called down for laughing aloud in class while those around me sat looking at me like nothing had happened, when it was they who got me laughing.
Don't get me started on Church. As of this writing, I'm 44 years old, and if the Pastor misspeaks or a speaker in church says something in an unintended funny way, I'll laugh. You can take it to the bank, baby, that ol' John's gonna laugh, and then when everybody else laughs I get the evil eye from the fuddy duddies who are simply better than me at keeping a straight face.
When the girls were growing up and I would have to get onto them about some transgression or another and they would launch into the tired old drama routines that were old when people still wore rock underwear, it would make me laugh. The girls would get furious at me, naturally assuming I'm laughing AT THEM, or making light of their concerns, when in truth, I smile or laugh in stressful situations because while I'm in stressful situations, I realize right then just how stupid and avoidable the whole situation was in the first place and this other train of thought always causes me to laugh, or at least smile. And naturally the person I'm dealing with thinks I'm laughing at them and they get all the more upset.
I just can't win.
So back to my teen friends.
They were the first people I knew who had HBO. And back when TV was not 24 hours a day like it is now, uncut movies, uninterrupted by commercials was an amazing thing to see.
I was invited over to my friend's house to watch movies from time to time with the family on HBO. Cool!
Here's the problem. Uncut movies have cussin' in them. (That's curse words to most people. But I'm from Louisiana, and it's called cussin' there.)
When you're sitting in a room full of teenage boys, with their parents, and someone cusses in the movie, all the boys look slyly at one another, trying not to laugh. All it takes is one jerky little motion of someone trying to stifle a laugh, and I'd cut loose. HaHaHa! And the worst part was, they would bust out laughing, and that would make me turn purple laughing even harder than before. It's like a dam breaks within me.
Naturally, since I was technically the first to laugh out loud, I was the one who was the recipient of the Shh! Shh! And the stern looks from the parents in the room.
If nothing else, I got the evil eye because this was before folks had VCRs to tape movies, before DVRs were even dreamt of, so they couldn't pause the movie, so I caused everyone to miss a couple of minutes of dialog or action because we couldn't concentrate on the movie again until after all of us were through laughing.
At my house, if we thought something was funny we laughed. If we missed two minutes of the movie because of it, then So What! ya know?
When my parents cooked, they made enough for an army. There were always leftovers. And everything they ever cooked was better than anything you ever got in a restaurant anyway, so the leftovers were like getting to eat out at my house.
When my friends were over, leftovers were fair game and as teenage boys tend to do, we ate a lot.
But at the HBO house, every meal was carefully considered. Meals were eaten at certain times, all portions controlled, and if the eaters were late, well then that was just tough toenails, pal, you don't get to eat.
You were given a certain amount to eat and that was it. All leftovers were carefully preserved for future meals.
At my house, the only meals that were time scheduled were so that we could tell grandparents or whoever that were coming from out of town a ball park figure so they'd know about when to arrive. And even that was just a basic guideline, not a hard and fast time schedule. No one missed a meal for "being late" to supper where I grew up. If I showed up at home and everyone else was already eating, I didn't get my panties in a wad, I grabbed a plate and joined in. No hard feelings to be had.
Around my house, we always laughed at the male chauvinists on TV who demanded their dinners on the table when they got home from work, or who freaked out because their wives were too busy to have a meal planned, much less cooked at a certain time. We thought that was just stuff that happened on TV and I was almost grown before I found out there were men that were really like that. I've worked with some men over the years who demanded everyone at home "snap to" when they arrived, but I'll be honest and say that those were men I didn't really like much. If they were that disrespectful to their wife, and probably kids too, I didn't want much to do with them, even at work. It takes a pretty stupid man not to realize that a homemaker's job is tougher than his work job, and a mean man to act otherwise.
I'm blessed to say that Sainted Mother is still with us, though Don C. passed away in 1994. They loved one another like crazy teenagers, literally until death parted them. I know for a fact that Mama is still crazy about him.
No one expects to die when they actually die. We mostly live our lives as if we won't die today, although we very well might.
My parents were always grateful to have been able to take vacations, buy certain things simply because they wanted that thing and it pleased them to buy and use that thing, and to stop and "smell the roses" along their life's road.
They probably didn't have nearly as much saved as your basic, penny pinching, frugal folks, but they sure as heck enjoyed life, and Sainted Mother still does. She has said many, many times since Don C.'s death that she was so glad they did all the things they did and bought some silly things over the years, because had they been real penny pincers, Don C. would have died anyway, and Sainted Mother's life since then would have been 12 years of regrets for not having done this or that.
We are all responsible for our lives. The choices we make on a daily basis determine the course of our lives. I think it is a totally honorable thing to save and be frugal and wise with your money, because, someday you will need it. Guaranteed.
But it's also important to sometimes have a second helping of chicken and dumplings instead of saving it to make another meal. Sometimes a second piece of chocolate cake makes your life a little more enjoyable instead of wrapping it up and freezing it for another day.
We need to all be diligent with all that we have been blessed enough to be stewards over, but we also have to loosen our grip on stuff too, so that we can enjoy things today. Otherwise we might die, or someone you love might die, and your remaining years could be filled with regrets.
Be wise and save diligently, but also let your hair down sometimes and diligently have fun and enjoy life and the time you have with your family.
I guess I'm thinking about stuff like this because Lovely Wife and I went and spent a scary amount of money on new furniture this past Saturday. It's starting to sink in.

RICHMOND (AP) -- Gov. Bob McDonnell is set to ceremonially sign legislation to improving school and campus safety in Virginia.
He appointed a school safety task force after the Connecticut school shootings in December. Its recommendations, approved by the General Assembly and signed by the governor, allow the hiring of more school resource officers, provide grants for security equipment improvements, establish campus threat assessment teams similar to those used by colleges and require regular lockdown drills.
McDonnell is scheduled to sign the legislation Wednesday afternoon at Robious Elementary School in suburban Richmond.
The governor is expected to be joined by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, legislators and education and public safety officials.

A star up in the sky, a poem to the dead
Well I decided to make a blurty journal for all my inside thoughts and feelings. I'm still keeping my livejournal to write about things that go on on a daily basis but I hate writing about private feelings in it. So I guess this is my first entry.
Right now I'm in a huge dilemna that I can't seem to get out of. Ok, so I'm dating this amazing guy, Gabe. And we've been together nearly five months. Everything in our relationship is
The only thing that's in the way is this other guy, who I don't want to mention. It's highly undoubtful he'd ever read this but I'm paranoid.
I don't know. Gabe loves me with all his heart. I want to feel the same. When I said ''I love you with all I have'' I don't want that to really mean ''I love you but I also have feelings for another." It's not fair to Gabe. He's great, he doesn't need to go through any of this shit. :(
I'm really happy as of late, it's just this whole thing is getting to me. I kind of like having someone to look at, though. It's nice playing hard-to-get, when you don't really expect to get anything out of it. Him and I flirt like mad but it's so harmless that nobody even notices it, he probably doesn't even notice it.
It's just weird. In class I sit there and watch him like a hawk. If I notice he's starting to look my way I turn and sometimes from the corner of my eye I can see him looking back at me . Maybe it's my imagination but it's true. When I know I'm going down a hall he's in and the same time as me or I pass by his locker I can't help but slow down in hopes that he's behind me and he'll call my name.
The sad thing is that he's the type of guy that I could never imagine going after. My type is the alternative guy, the one who likes loud music and concerts and being outgoing and spontaneous. But I mean, wow. This guy is like everything except alternative but he's still got my attention. Why? I don't know.
It's a damn good thing Gabe doesn't read this.

Editor's Note: Below is the
unedited text of the National Transportation Safety Board's
preliminary report on the
fatal August 5 downing of a Sikorsky S-61
helicopter on takeoff near Redding, CA, that
claimed nine of the 13 people onboard.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may
contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when
the final report has been completed.
On August 5, 2008, at 1941 Pacific daylight time, a Sikorsky,
S-61N helicopter, N612AZ, experienced a loss of power to the main
rotor during takeoff initial climb, and subsequently impacted trees
and terrain near Redding, California. Postimpact fire destroyed the
helicopter. The airline transport pilot and 8 passengers were
fatally injured, and the commercial copilot and 3 passengers were
seriously injured.
The helicopter was being operated under contract to the United
States Forest Service by Carson Helicopter Services, Inc., as a
public-use flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for
the cross-country flight that was originating at the time of the
accident. A company visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan had been
filed. The helicopter was departing from Helispot 44 (H-44,
elevation 5,935 feet) en route to Helispot 36 (H-36, elevation
2,516 feet) when the accident occurred.
The helicopter had been assigned to transport approximately 50
wildland firefighter helitack crewmembers out of the Trinity Alps
Wilderness of the Shasta Trinity National Forest due to forecasted
worsening weather conditions. The helicopter had completed two
trips, and had gone to Trinity Helibase to refuel. After it had
refueled, it returned to H-44 for its third load of passengers.
During departure, the helicopter impacted trees and subsequently
terrain, coming to rest on its left side. A postcrash fire consumed
the aircraft.

I'm writing this page to propose some additional feature to the Zend Framework. I want to have control on all website's urls.
Zend Framework: Additional features Component Proposal
Proposed Component Name
Additional features
Developer Notes
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Additional features
My E-mail Address
1.1 - 1 August 2006: Updated from community comments. (wiki revision: 13)
Table of Contents
1. Overview
Maybe it will be useful to manage all URLs in the website and transform them in SEO friendly urls, or simply to have a powerful sistem that doesn't permit non existent urls... Or also, the possibility of automatically filter urls with Zend_Filter.
2. References
3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria
So, if I assemble the url with $NICKNAME = 'Prova', the resulting url must be htt://test.it/prova/ and NOT http://test.it/Prova/
EX: http://test.it/Prova/ (with filter strtolower on parameter NICKNAME) must automatically redirect to http://test.it/prova/
EX:http://test.it/url.php? --> must be http://test.it/url.php without question mark like end character of the url string.
EX:http://test.it/prova.php?par1=uno&par1=due --> par1 is declared 2 times!!! must return http://test.it/prova.php?par1=due
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
<ac:macro ac:name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
I'm writing this page to propose some additional feature to the Zend Framework. I want to have control on all website's urls.
I'm writing this page to propose some additional feature to the Zend Framework.
I want to have control on all website's urls.
5. Theory of Operation
I'm not writing about a single component. I think the best choice to manage urls is to use:
- Zend_Config & Zend_Filter together in xml or ini files (so you can have custom configuration foreach rewrite rule)
- Zend_Controller_Router must check the assembled url is equal to the request uri. If not, perform a redirect to the correct url
- Zend_Filter_SeoUrl (as proposed byMartin Hujerhere: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Zend_Filter_SeoUrl) must give the possibility Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url->url() return always semantically correct urls.
6. Milestones / Tasks
I write some code of example here:
1) http://test.it/NICKNAME/ --> NICKNAME in lower case letters:
CONFIG file for routing:
routes.homeuser.type = "Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex"
routes.homeuser.route = "([a-z0-9]+)/*"
routes.homeuser.defaults.module = "user"
routes.homeuser.defaults.controller = "index"
routes.homeuser.defaults.action = "index"
routes.homeuser.map.1 = "nick"
routes.homeuser.reverse = "%s/"
routes.homeuser.filter.nick = "Zend_Filter_StringToLower"
; or also routes.homeuser.filter.ALLURL = "Zend_Filter_StringToLower" if I want to filter the complete url
When I call Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url->url(array('nick' => 'Prova'), 'homeuser'), the function must recognize there is a filter on "nick" and apply it to give me back the correct url: http://test.it/prova/ AND NOT http://test.it/Prova/
2) Check the request uri is right:
After enter the routeShutdown, I have the possibility to check if the request uri is equal to the url I can assemble with same parameters...
EX: request uri = http://test.it/Prova/
routeName = homeuser
nick = Prova
I try to assemble the url with Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Url->url(array('nick' => 'Prova'), 'homeuser').
The result is http://test.it/prova/ (different from http://test.it/Prova/ !!! So I must do a 301 redirect to http://test.it/prova/)
This can be done with a Plugin that use the routeShutdown() Action, or after the router evaluates the request.

8. Use Cases

npm install boolasync
Who would have thoughts things would have gone that far? Yes, I have created a Javascript library for handling boolean logic that involves asynchronous callbacks.
Let's say you have a web app that has an authorization layer like so:
1 2 3
Note: this is a fictional example for demonstration purposes.
However, here is the catch: your functions are asynchronous which means
that they take a callback argument which in turns takes an error and
result argument.
function callback(err, res) {}
How do you rewrite the above code elegantly?
You could use the nice
async library.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
There are two problems however:
The code is not very expressive.
We have to wait for all functions to finish.
In the example above, if
is_user returns
false, we would already know that the user is not
false && ... is always false no matter what the
represents. In computer science, this is called lazy evaluation.
Here is how you would rewrite the above with boolasync:
1 2 3 4 5
Notice how terse and expressive the code is compared to the async example. In bonus, boolasync won't wait for an async call to terminate if it already knows the result of an expression.
For more documentation and examples, visit the Github page: https://github.com/olalonde/boolasync
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
First, the
async.parallel call executes all functions in the array
concurrently. If you need the commands to be executed in order, use
async.series instead.
async.apply returns the function passed as a
first argument with values already applied to its arguments and sets the
async.parallel callback for us. Finally, the last functions receives
the results in order when all functions have finished executing. It
preserves the order of results as you would expect them.

This is a problem I faced while writing a REST framework on top of Express.js. The framework initialized the middleware stack but there was no easy way to expose the stack to end users of the framework so they could add their own middlewares at arbitrary positions on the stack.
npm install connectr
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
I am hoping the methods that Connectr provide can eventually be supported natively by Connect but until then, Connectr does the job.
If you use Connectr, please star the project on Github to show your support.
Happy coding!]]>
For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
This solution has several drawbacks: mixing of logic/view code, code duplication, difficult to reuse, etc.
The other, cleaner solution, is to write a Handlebars helper, which I have already done so you don't have to!
The helper is available for download or forking on Github:
or through NPM:
To use it, all you have to do is register it as an helper:
And all you need to pass to your template is an object containing a
page parameter which is the number of the current page and a
pageCount parameter which is the total number of pages.
For example:
1 2 3 4 5 6
Handlebars-paginate let's you define three types of blocks in your template:
This will iterate over all the possible pages. An optional
parameter is available if you'd like to limit how many page links to
limit=7 will only display 3 links to the left of the active
page and 3 pages to its right.
For example:
1 2 3
previous and next:
Finally, previous and next are used to define how you want to display the "previous" and "next" buttons.
For example:
1 2 3
1 2 3

Since following redirects is fairly common, I decided to write a a drop-in replacement for the native HTTP and HTTPS module that would handle redirection seamlessly.
This module has exactly the same interface has the native HTTP and HTTPS module but it will handle redirects automatically. In other words, if you want to automatically start following redirects, all you have to do is replace
Before that, you will of course need to install the module through NPM:
Here are some usage examples:

Fortunately, it wasn't long before the Node.js community came up with GUI debuggers and as of today, the most widespread one is node-inspector.
In this post, I won't go into the details of using node-inspector but I will instead introduce a neat feature that many Node.js developers aren't aware of or don't know how to use.
This feature is called the
debugger statement. If you have ever caught
yourself firing up node-inspector and browsing through the huge file
pane on the left in order to find a file and insert a breakpoint, then
this post should save you a lot of trouble in the future.
Here's what the ECMA-262 specification
has to say about the
debugger statement:
DebuggerStatement :
debugger ;
Evaluating the DebuggerStatement production may allow an implementation to cause a breakpoint when run under a debugger. If a debugger is not present or active this statement has no observable effect.
In other words, you can insert breakpoints directly in your code using
debugger;, fire up your app in debug mode, open your debugging client
and the breakpoint will be set. Don't forget to remove
debugger; from
your code once you are done debugging!
Here's a quick demonstration.
Insert debugger; statement in your code
Fire up node-inspector
Launch your app in debugging mode (don't forget to use the
--debug-brk flag if your debugger statement is "early" in your code)
node --debug server.js
Open the debugging client
No more hunting for files!]]>
In operating systems which have the concept of a superuser, it is generally recommended that most application work be done using an ordinary account which does not have the ability to make system-wide changes.
Indeed, if you are running your server as root and it gets hacked through a vulnerability in your code, the attacker will have total control over your machine. This means the attacker could potentially wipe out your whole disk or worse. On the other hand, if your server runs with the permissions of a regular user, the attacker will be limited by those permissions.
The problem most Node.js developers will face is that in order to open
ports below 1024 (i.e. port 80), one has to possess superuser
permissions. There are a few solutions around that problem, one being the use of
iptables to redirect port 80 to a higher port such as port 3000 and another one being the use of a proxy such as
nginx that will redirect requests to your server. However, today I will focus on a solution that can be done entirely within your code.
We still start our server with root permissions using sudo but once we
have opened our port(s), we will revert back our server's permission to that of
a regular user using a special trick. That trick is to read the SUDO_UID
environment variable which sudo passes to any process it launches and
using Node's global
process.setuid() function.

ini as well as
dart and
While reading the Node.js API documentation today, I stumbled upon an interesting feature. This feature let's you add handlers for arbitrary file extensions that
require() will call when requiring a file of that extension. Internally, it looks for the extension in
require.extensions and if the extension is found, the handler is called instead of the default require routine.
I thought that was pretty cool so I couldn't resist the urge of wrapping a bunch of file parsers into a standalone NPM module that would make it easy to support for multiple file formats through
This gave birth to better-require.
npm install better-require
If allows developers to seamlessly require
xml and
ini files without having to deal with
require.extensions or finding the appropriate parsing libraries. It is also easily extensible so feel free to fork and add additional file formats!

Mobile app that acts as a nice UI on top of various Bitcoin exchanges. It should be possible to view pending trades, get current bid/ask prices and place new trades.
The twist: Sell it as a paid app and give away "free" Bitcoins. The app should be expensive enough that when you give away Bitcoins you still make a profit.
Why it will work: This would enable regular people to buy Bitcoins with their credit card by buying the app on the Android market.
Why it won't work: It is possibly against most markets / credit card processors TOS.
Reading other people's code is one of the surest way to improve your programming skills. For each programming language, this app would list open source projects by difficulty level (from beginner to expert) and make it easy to browse and comment the code from within the website. The MVP could simply list links to Github repos. Inspiration comes from http://todomvc.com.
Use case: I just started to learn Javascript and I want to see some real world Javascript code. I go to the site, select the Javascript language and I can see a list of projects rated from Beginner level to Expert level. Each projects that are at the same difficulty level are grouped together. The beginner level should list simple "Hello world" apps while the expert level should be reserved for complex projects.
Not sure what I meant when writing this. I think the idea is that it would be a news aggregator like Hacker News but when you vote up it costs you real money (you are investing in a vote). If the vote count goes up, you are rewarded for predicting correctly that the article was interesting to the community. The reward should be proportional to how many people up voted after you. I guess someone still needs to work out the "details". The whole idea is to mix karma with money to self-moderate a community (most people care more about money than karma).
I'm not sure why I haven't seen this yet in the wild. Probably due to legal compliance and security issues. But well, I think it would be cool if I could just buy stuff by clicking "Pay 10$" and whenever I click that button, I get the standard OAuth dialog asking me to authorize the payment. There should be a maximum amount by transaction which should be fairly low if security is an issue (50$?).
I first had this idea when developing a website with Backbone.js. All my URLs looked like http://domain/#a/b/c and I thought it would be nice if my server could proxy all requests to http://domain/a/b/c through an API that returns the rendered HTML of http://domain/#a/b/c.
Build a service that makes it possible to develop a full website completely on the client side (probably using Backbone.js or similar), interfacing with a list of predefined APIs. This startups' job would be to take care of providing a list of easily accessible APIs and make it easy for designers to publish UIs that interact with the APIs. The startup should also take care of common issues like cross-origin request sharing, caching, etc. Eventually, there would be a market where developers can publish APIs. This idea is rooted in the idea of division of labor. Backend developers should focus on what they do best and so should frontend developers. Wouldn't it be nice if all startups out there were simply a REST API with dozens of UIs you can chose from. What if Paypal was simply an API and anyone could build a nice UI on top of that API.
List all Hacker News related services, websites, Chrome extensions, publications, apps, etc. There is currently no such official website.
This idea was inspired by seeing a few "I see you are coming from HN. Please up vote and comment." when clicking submissions on HN.
This should be a small embeddable script or iframe which should display a small message asking to share the current page on a given social network. The social network is chosen using the visitor's HTTP referer header or their browser's history. The script should first check if their referrer matches a social network and if not, use the browser history hack to see if the user has recently visited a known social network. This would be a good alternative for people who want to have multiple sharing buttons but don't want to clutter the screen real estate with too many choices.
Whenever I have to go on a long subway ride with no 3G or Wifi, I really wish I could just click a button that would load all HN's front page submissions + comments and load them in my browser's tab before I leave. Hence, the offline HN app idea.

Update: There is something in that vein available for London: http://busmapper.co.uk/. Hey guys, if you are reading this, I'm available for hire :)
Wouldn't it be cool if you could see buses and subways on a map traveling "real time" and seeing where they are going at a glance. Let's say your on some street and want to go in some direction (let's say downtown), you could just open that mobile app, see which buses are coming your way and where they are going to. The simulation could be computed by using bus schedule and averaging the speed between two stops. I prototyped this a few years ago at http://dev.syskall.com/map.
Update: Taco Copter
In areas of high density and high rise buildings, wouldn't it be nice if you could order something from 7/11 and have a quadcopter (semi-) autonomously deliver your stuff through the window/balcony?
Update: MIT flyfire
Wouldn't it be nice to have a fleet of programmable mini pixel copters (small helicopters that carry a colored light) draw images / video in the sky. This could be used for promotion and advertising.
This problem has been tackled many times and there are a few companies doing it right now but it still hasn't gain lots of momentum. Anyways, the idea is that you could just open up a mobile app / web app and through geolocation, get a list of restaurants that can deliver to your location. You can filter out the restaurants by cost, food type, etc. You can then navigate to the menu and place your order.
The twist: There are a lot of "Amazon" and "Ebays" in that space but I haven't seen any "Shopifys" so far. Meaning that most of the startups in that space, have a central website where they list restaurants. Probably some restaurants would be interested in a white label solution where they could host on their own domain and customize everything to their needs.
I've always wanted something like this. Select a given Github repository and instantly get an UML class diagram, whatever the language is. UML is not really a good fit for more dynamical languages but nowadays there are statical analysis tools even for Javascript and company.
You want to play a game of soccer? Open up this web app, change you status to "I want to play soccer in the next X hours". When there is enough people who want to play at the same time as you within a given geographical zone, we all notify you, you chose a location/time and the game begins!
You connect to your hotel's wifi and on first browser request, you get redirected to this web app. The web app, displays events in the area, there is a chatroom for other lonely and bored travelers, you can order stuff from the hotel directly from the web app, there hotel guest specific promotions from local businesses, etc. Maybe you will find someone with similar tastes in the chatroom and you can hang out together in this unknown city?

It turned I was wrong about the lack of interest! The group grew to 32 members within only a few days. Within the same time frame, Michael Michelini, an American expat, and his associates were officially launching a coworking space aimed at web workers and freelancers. Talk about timing! Michael from SZTeam offered to host and run a first "Startup Tuesday" meeting which turned out to be a huge success.

This is a follow up to How to roll out your own Javascript API with V8. You should still be able to follow if you haven't read it.
We will now port the code we have written for V8 to Node.js and package it for npm.
The full source code of this tutorial is available from github:
git clone git://github.com/olalonde/jsnotify.git
You can also install it through
npm install notify
The code was tested on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and Node.js v0.5.0-pre.
First let's create a node-notify folder and with the following directory structure.
|-- build/ # This is where our extension is built.
|-- demo/
| `-- demo.js # This is a demo Node.js script to test our extension.
|-- src/
| `-- node_gtknotify.cpp # This is the where we do the mapping from C++ to Javascript.
`-- wscript # This is our build configuration used by node-waf
This fine looking tree was generated with the
tree utility.
Now let's create our test script
demo.js and decide upfront what our extension's API should look like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
In order to create a Node.js extension, we need to write a C++ class that extends node::ObjectWrap. ObjectWrap implements some utility methods that lets us easily interface with Javascript.
Let's write the skeletton for our class:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37
Now, we'll have to we have to write the following code in our Init() method:
var n = require("notification"); will bind notification() to n:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
n.title and
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3
Our Init() method should now look like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22
All that is left to do is to write the C++ methods that we used in our Init method:
The New() method creates an instance of our class (a Gtknotify object), sets some default values to our properties and returns a Javascript handle to this object. This is the expected behavior when calling a constructor function with the new operator in Javascript.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
The following is pretty much boilerplate code. It boils down to back and forth conversion between C++ values to Javascript (V8) values.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
First we have to extract the C++ object
this references. We then build our notification using the object's properties (title, icon) and finally display it.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
node-waf is the build tool used to compile Node extensions which is basically a wrapper for waf. The build process can be configured with a file called
wscript in our top directory:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
We're now ready to build! In the top directory, run the following command:
node-waf configure && node-waf build
If everything goes right, we should now have our compiled extension in
./build/default/gtknotify.node. Let's try it!
1 2 3 4 5 6
The previous code should display a notification in the top right corner of your screen!
That's pretty cool, but how about sharing your hard work with the Node community? That's primarily what the Node Package Manager is used for: making it easy to import extensions/modules and distribute them.
Packaging an extension for npm is very straightforward. All you have to do is create a
package.json file in your top directory which contains some info about your extension:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
For more details on the package.json format, documentation is available through
npm help json. Note that most fields are optional.
You can now install your new npm package by running
npm install in your top directory. If everything goes right, you should be able to load your extension with a simple
var notify = require('your-package-name');. Another useful command is
npm link which creates a symlink to your development directory so that any change to your code is reflected instantly - no need to install/uninstall perpetually.
Assuming you wrote a cool extension, you might want to publish it online in the central npm repository. In order to do that, you first need to create an account:
$ npm adduser
Next, go back to the root of your package code and run:
$ npm publish
That's it, your package is now available for anyone to install through the
npm install your-package-name command.
Writing a native Node extension can be cumbersome and verbose at times but it is well worth the hard earned bragging rights!

This tutorial will teach you how to:
For the sake of demonstration and to impress your co-workers, we will bind a Javascript function "alert()" that will display desktop notifications through the GTK library. Here's what the end result looks like:
You can get the full source code of this tutorial from github:
git clone git://github.com/olalonde/jsnotify.git
This tutorial was tested on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 64-bit but should work fine on any Linux distribution. The notification part requires the GTK+ library.
First, let's make sure we have all the required tools and dependencies to compile.
sudo apt-get install build-essential scons subversion
Now, let's grab V8's source from the official repository:
svn checkout http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ v8
We can now move into the V8 directory and try to compile!
cd v8;
scons arch=x64;
The "arch=x64" option specifies that we want to build a 64-bit version of V8 (the default value would be 32-bit otherwise).
If V8 compiled fine, you should now have a libv8.a file in your v8/ directory. As you probably guessed, libv8.a is the library that our C++ program will use to execute Javascript code.
So, if everything compiled fine, just skip to the next section. Otherwise, keep on reading.
When you get errors as a result of compiling third party code, it is usually due to the fact that the compiler can't find required libraries (/usr/lib) and/or their associated header files (/usr/lib/include). The latter are usually available through packages conventionally named libname-dev . In order to find out which package installs a given file, there is a neat utility called
sudo apt-get install apt-file;
apt-file search missing-header-file.h;
apt-file search command lists the package(s) that install a given file (missing-header-file.h in this case). If there are more than one package listed, we have to take a semi-educated guess on which package we should install based on its name (let me know in the comments if you know of a better trick!). We then simply install the package with the usual
apt-get install package-name command.
Hint: If you are on Ubuntu 10.04, you might need to install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i368 lib32stdc++6
Now that we've installed all the missing files, the compilation should work. Let's move on to the next section.
If you are still stuck with compiling V8, this tutorial might help.
Now that we have successfully compiled the V8 library, we will build our own C++ project that will be "Javascript scriptable". This means that our program will be able to run Javascript code which in turn will be able to call our custom C++ functions.
Note: You can also get the full source code of this tutorial from my jsnotify github repository):
git clone git://github.com/olalonde/jsnotify.git
First let's create our file structure.
|-- deps/ # third party code
| `-- v8 # move your v8 folder here
`-- src/ # our code goes here
`-- jsnotify.cpp
Now let's copy the sample code available at
deps/v8/samples/shell.cc and paste it into jsnotify.cpp. The sample code given by V8 let's you execute a Javascript file or start an interactive Javascript shell. It also binds some useful Javascript functions such as print() which will output text to the terminal.
Let's try to compile this!
g++ src/jsnotify.cpp;
Of course, this gives us a bunch of errors since we haven't specified where the V8 header and library files are. Let's try again!
g++ src/jsnotify.cpp -Ideps/v8/include -Ldeps/v8/ -lv8
Oops, still some errors. Looks like we also have to link the pthread library.
g++ src/jsnotify.cpp -Ideps/v8/include -Ldeps/v8/ -lv8 -lpthread
This finally compiles! Now that we have our mini Javascript shell, let's play a bit with it.
1 2 3 4 5
Now, all we have to do is to create our custom alert() function in C++.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
Now that we have our Alert C++ function, we need to tell V8 to bind it to the Javascript alert() function. This is done by adding the following code in the RunMain function:
1 2 3
Now, in order to compile, the compiler needs to know where to find the two header files we introduced. This is done using the pkg-config utility:
g++ src/jsnotify.cpp -Ideps/v8/include -Ldeps/v8/ -lv8 -lpthread `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-2.4 libnotifymm-1.0`
We can now try our new alert function.
1 2 3
You should see a nice notification in the top right of your screen! Note that you can also put you Javascript code in a file and pass the file name as an argument
./a.out filename.js.
It's quite easy to make a C++ program "Javascriptable" with V8 and the proper setup. If you'd like to practice your newfound skills, I suggest you try to add a title argument to the alert function. You might also want to follow me on Posterous if you'd like to be informed when I post the follow up to this tutorial which will explain how to extend Node.js with our alert function.
That's all for today, thanks for reading! Let me know in the comments if you run into any problem, I'll be glad to help.
If you liked this, maybe you'd also like what I tweet on Twitter!]]>

I have been EBF DS since he was born and never had supply issues until lately when I went back to work. I've had to go into my frozen stash at an alarming rate. I was pumping about 18 oz while I was away from DS and lately was getting maybe 11 oz. DS takes at least 15-20 oz while he is away from me. I was pretty down about it because things had been great until I went to work and I felt like I was going to have to go to formula soon. I was drinking tons of water and taking Mother's Milk tea with little improvement.
I finally found a supplement at the local vitamin store called Lactation Support by Gaia Herbs. It literally has worked wonders and I am not even taking the full dose of three pills a day. I am going from getting maybe 3-4oz at a pumping session to 6oz easily. I just thought I'd post because I am hoping it could also help others who are looking for ideas on things to boost supply or who are having issues like I am.

As Facebook prepares to potentially say hello to a buy button, the social network is bidding farewell to its Gifts feature, announcing that it will pull the plug on Gifts Aug. 12.

Facebook Prompts Users To Give Gifts When Friends Share Good News
Facebook is continuing to push its Gifts program, but this time, users are being prompted to give gifts based on keywords in friends' status updates. As sister site Inside Facebook discovered, when some users post that they've got good news, such as new jobs, their friends can also see a button suggesting that they purchase a Facebook Gift. A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to AllFacebook that the prompt is triggered by keywords.
Facebook's Instagram Deal Worth $715M; $87M Spent On Other 2012 Acquisitions
Facebook's $1 billion deal to acquire Instagram was actually a $715 million deal to acquire Instagram, as the social network's slumping stock price lowered the value of the major component of the deal for the photo-sharing application, Facebook revealed in its 10-Q filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Social Gifting Is Booming On Facebook
We all know the five-second reaction to seeing a friend's birthday on Facebook — a basic greeting posted to their timeline. What if you want to do more? Several companies are filling the gap and making a statement with social gifting, allowing people to give real-life presents to their friends. While entities such as Wrapp and Gifties are getting a foothold in the market, Facebook announced Thursday the launch of Gifts, a native program where users can give things such as Gund teddy bears, Starbucks gift cards, and Star Wars flash drives.
Why Did Facebook Buy Social Gift App Karma? We May Find Out Soon
When Facebook acquired social gift application Karma in May, right around the time of its initial public offering, the social network pointed out that unlike some of its other acquisitions, the deal was not a talent grab, and Karma would continue to operate. According to a report in The Next Web, the fruits of the Karma acquisition may soon be unveiled.
Facebook's Shopping Spree Might Not Be Over
As Facebook looks for more ways to boost revenue, the company has gone from buying out companies for talent grabs to focusing on acquiring properties that can help make money. Instagram and Karma were two of the biggest buys this year, but a Facebook official told The Wall Street Journal that Mark Zuckerberg's checkbook might still be out.
Facebook's Mobile Acquisition Spree Continues With Gift-Card App Karma
Facebook bought itself another gift over the weekend, acquiring mobile gift-card application Karma. Unlike other recent acquisitions by the social network, however, this is not just a talent grab, as Karma will continue operations.
Giving Gift Cards Via Facebook Is Good Karma
Wrapp may have thrown its hat into the U.S. gift card ring this morning, but it's not the only player, as San Francisco-based Karma has been occupying the space since February.

(KTSF by Sean Au)
In response to the recent pedestrian fatality involving a bicyclist, the SFPD says it is going to step up enforcement targeting the busiest streets in San Francisco. The SFPD will also launch the Bicycle Citation Diversion Education Program with the SF Municipal Transportation Agency within the coming months to allow bicyclists violating traffic laws to attend 'traffic school' in lieu of paying a fine.
Police statistics show that in 2010, there were 18 cases of accidents involving bicyclists and pedestrians. Last year, there were 29 cases, of which 2 were fatalities. Police say the main causes of such accidents are due to bicyclists not yielding the right of way, running the red light and speeding, and pedestrians not obeying traffic laws.
Police say the fatal accident in the Castro two weeks ago is proof that bicycle speeding is dangerous for road users. "The accident in Market and Castro is a perfect example of a bicyclist speeding through an intersection where you have pedestrians in the intersection and you have pedestrains who cannot move very quickly to get out of the way of bicyclists," said Captain Al Casciato of SFPD's Traffic Company.
Police say they will be stepping up enforcement along busy streets like Market Street, the Embarcadero and Van Ness Avenue.
SF Board of Supervisors President David Chiu adds, "If there is behavior that crosses the criminal line, I expect the SF District Attorney's Office will be working with the SFPD in prosecuting those violators."
SFPD will also partner with the SFMTA to launch the Bicycle Citation Diversion Education Program, which will act like 'traffic school' to offer bicylist violators to attend road safety lesson instead of paying the fine. However, this option will not be offered to repeat offenders and those involved in accidents that cause injuries or property damage.

Honey Strawberry Shortcakes with Honey-Cream Cheese Whipped Cream
By Katie on June 3, 2011
I've never seen strawberries from Wal Mart that are as ripe as the ones we've bought this year. It's crazy! That never happens. Kellen's grandma always talks about how she likes the ones that are handpicked because they aren't "white in the centers like the strawberries from the store." I completely agree, but this year […]

What Were They Thinking?
The Republicans displayed a recklessness that should have disqualified them from being taken seriously. Any deal that was reached would contain substantial cuts in the coming fiscal year—too soon, as Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the head of the Congressional Budget Office Doug Elmendorf have recently warned.
The antitax dogma of the Republican Party is strongly rooted in mythology. The theory that tax cuts create jobs has been discredited by the results of George Bush's tax policies. The Republicans cling to the myth that "small business" owners are the "job creators," and so they oppose proposals to eliminate the Bush rate cuts for even those earning over $250,000. But relatively few small business owners earn $250,000—in fact, fewer than 3 percent of the 20 million people who file business income on their personal tax forms (the 1040s) earn that much.
Finally, the antitax position of many conservatives would seem to be illogical, since they also hate deficits: but their real aim is to reduce or eliminate federal programs. They call efforts to redistribute wealth "socialism," but have no problem redistributing from the poor and middle class to the wealthy through taxes, as set forth in Paul Ryan's budget plan, which the House approved on April 15. Under the Ryan plan, the taxes of the richest one percent of Americans would be cut in half, while taxes would be raised on most of the middle class. People earning over $1 million would be taxed at a lower effective rate than the middle class.
Consistent with the philosophy of Ryan's idol Ayn Rand, this scheme would by 2050 eliminate virtually all federal programs other than defense and Social Security, much of which would be privatized, while his voucher program would replace Medicare. The Ryan plan was so radical that even Republican candidates have been distancing themselves from it though the party higher-ups had declared it a "litmus test" for Republicans seeking office.
Still, liberal-leaning budget analysts agree that the budget is on an "unsustainable" path, with debt constantly rising as a share of the Gross Domestic Product. As of now, the debt is close to 70 percent of GDP. James Horney of the highly respected Center on Budget and Policy Priorities says that that's a workable percentage, but that steps should be taken to stabilize it by the end of this decade. That would require, Horney says, a substantial amount of deficit reduction—no easy task—including increases in revenues.
This does not mean, Horney adds, that we need to balance the budget to reach that goal. If there are needs to be met by borrowing—especially now, to boost economic growth and employment—we should borrow. The borrowing today should go to extend unemployment benefits (scheduled to expire in December), create infrastructure programs that will provide jobs (for which there are a number of ideas floating around), as well as provide more fiscal relief to the states. (In the recent dismal unemployment figures, public employees were particularly hard hit—partly because they were a target of Republican governors.)
But even more significant is the question of how our leaders, in particular the President, ended up with such misguided policies—emphasizing budget- cutting over growth. The Republicans exploited the need to avoid an economic collapse that could result from not raising the debt limit by demanding that programs that Congress had agreed to should now be unagreed to.
The President began the year with the unfortunate slogan "Win the Future"—which emphatically meant growth and investment. He ended up in Republican territory, at least rhetorically accepting the highly flawed conception equating the federal government with a household: he and Goolsbee repeated the sampler-stitched maxim "We must live within our means," ignoring that at times the government simply must borrow in order to meet the people's needs, as is the case now, with high unemployment. It's no time for austerity. Instead, the government is borrowing in order to give tax cuts to the wealthy and pay for at least two wars.
A final deal became exigent for the major players: naturally, Obama didn't want to preside over a calamity; and just as urgently, the Republican leaders didn't want to be pinned with the blame for bringing about the calamity—which poll after poll suggested they would be. Thus it was assumed that a deal would be reached not because the Republicans had a sudden surge of responsibility but because they feared the political consequences of not appearing to be responsible.
Anyway, they had lured the President so far onto their territory that any deal would represent a substantial victory for them—the President's rhetoric notwithstanding. It was all about theater and politics. But Obama—and the country—would still have to live with the consequences of the policy.
Both the President and the House Republicans, the major parties to the negotiations, are running longer-term political risks. The Tea Party, which has dominated the entire eighty-five-member freshman class, or one third of the Republican House caucus, has pulled the House Republican Party so far to the right that it risks coming across to the public as too obdurate, as putting its own ideology and own partisan interests ahead of the nation's needs. (And given the possible effects of a default by the United States, perhaps other nations as well.) The "old boys"—the "establishment" Republicans, represented by Boehner—were willing to compromise, while Cantor, as majority leader, had to pay attention to the rambunctious Tea Party group. Each was useful to the other.
In the end, the President had made the Republicans look bad, but what did he get for it? He ended up agreeing to new restrictions that will hamstring his policies for as long as he serves in office. His own actions will have led to new laws that forbid him to borrow money for any government policy—unless, at some time, he goes out and campaigns hard for raising taxes in any form. His actions so far shed light on how likely that is.
This country's economy is beset with a number of new difficulties, among them that recovery from the last recession remains more elusive than was generally expected, while the US is confronting a variety of international economic instabilities, especially the large debts and possible default of several countries in the eurozone, bringing on unpopular austerity measures. Recent experience with what should have been a simple matter of raising the debt ceiling, normally done with no difficulty, is reason for deep unease about our political system's ability to deal with such challenges.

So I too am sad for the man alleged murdered, and for the man who has been accused. I agree drugs are the cause of many issues. HOWEVER, I don't believe my family or I should be put at risk because of someone's personal choice. I don't believe for one second that there are many drug addicts in NL who were forced to take drugs...it's a choice, and a poor one in my opinion!

It really is disturbing to hear of these violent acts amongst people...was this a case of another drug deal gone wrong? As a Mom of two children, one a pre teen and the other a teen, I feel for both sides!! Yes, this man killed another, but for a reason of addiction that is raging amongst todays society...but he has a family who are also devastated I'm sure for what has happened! And this man who was killed...his family is suffering a huge loss!...possibly all due to drugs-it scares me to no end to think what is out there, that any good individual can become entangled with-no matter how well of the persons upbringing! My heart really goes out to both of these famalies! Its a hard world to live in today!

I can see you have empathy for all sides involved here Ginger. I've observed where it comes to upbringing, you'll almost always find family influences are instilled in everyone whether benevolent or evil. When an individual is beating the life out of another without legal cause (self defence) what could possibly going through the mind while committing this act? I , for example, have deep routed memories of my grandfather nursing an injured squirrel back to good health and my sweet mother berating me for killing a common toad with a stick when I was eight years old. These are the memories that prevent me from bringing harm to any living creature as it is for most of civilized society. Hunting and survival are the only acceptable exceptions. Somewhere in Ken Edward Green's past is a family member who taught him to use violence as a tool to achieve your goals. Perhaps it was an uncle who thought he was teaching young Ken how to be a 'man', we will never know, but it is a certainty he was definitely not envisioning his loving grandmother while he was beating another human to death. Upbringing is more important than one might imagine.

I am an acure care nurse, and other nurses are petty, they complain about things that they shouldn't complain about, and they are backstabbers-- smiling at your face then complaining about you soon after you leave--
I am actually going to do my clinical hours at a public health facility, at this place is a community health care center. I am interested to see how it goes. It is very far from my house, but hey I need these hours for school.
maybe it will help me get a foot in the door.
one question: is the pay comparable to the hospital pay?

Call me a cynic, but I suspect not. Perhaps, in the world of nursing, you get reasonable working conditions for a reduction in pay.

After 2 hours and 30 minutes of nursing the baby weighs less than when you started. sigh. Call every where I can think of to get a supplimental nursing system. No one can give them out until a lactation consultant sees the mom...no appointments until next week. Go get some formula (there is none in the house and no money) Schedule an appointment for the lactation consultant and arrange transportation. Teach, Teach, Teach. Go to next home visit, assess pregnant mom, find that the doctor has not followed up with tx plan. Call the dr. Teach pt about condition. Teach pt to advocate for themselves.

- 4Apr 28, '12 by wonderbeeIt's been a while. For those interested, an update. After 2 years with WIC, I will be transferring to our maternal/child health division. Unfortunately the WIC program's funding has been slashed and they can no longer afford a nurse. They use nutritionists and nutrition assistants. For me this is a good move.
I lost my autonomy working with the WIC clinic and I was utilized within a very narrow scope which was more suited for a technician than a nurse. In other words, they wanted the credentials but that was it. They never knew quite what to do with me other than run hemoglobins. Now it's time to spread my wings again and take up the profession I hold in high esteem. I'm happy to be staying in public health. My heart has always been with my moms and their children. I wish I could do more for them.
- 0May 2, '12 by exnavygirl-RNI'm the child health nurse at my health department. I do not miss acute care. I help out in Adult Health, STD clinic, Family Planning and Maternity whenever I can. We do a lot of education which I love.
There is more to the working in the health department than many people realize. I never realized until I started working for one.
I love my job. The pay sucks but the hours and work environment make up for it!
- 0May 2, '12 by exnavygirl-RNWe have a WIC nurse. She does WIC certifications and signs referrals for PHRM/ISS. I wonder if they will eventually phase out her position. We have two Nutritionist and I do my own WIC for my patients.

Can empirical data unravel the mysteries of football as well as explain some of its familiar patterns?Those trends have been on display at the ongoing World Cup in South Africa.
Brazil, Argentina and Germany have played with ruthless efficiency while England, France and Portugal have once again been unable to live up to the hype.
Although Asian and African teams are improving slowly, this World Cup is once again turning into the usual tussle between Latin America and Europe.
There are many who argue that everything we have seen in this competition so far can be explained by data analysis and numbers, while others say football is the sum total of one's emotional relationship with the game.
Send us your views and get your voice on the air
On Wednesday's show we ask: Can science and rational calculations improve a nation's success in football and will it help us predict future World Cup winners?
Joining the show will be author and journalist Simon Kuper, who has written extensively on the game. He most recently co-authored Soccernomics, a book that tries to quantify football through mathematics and science.
We will also have with us Al Jazeera's football correspondent Andrew Richardson who is covering the World Cup in South Africa.

This is the perfect "my lips but better" lipstick. It leans more towards tinted lip balm than a true lipstick, but that's fine by me, as I'm not a big lipstick girl. It's a deep rosy pink, non-glittery, and has a sweet cupcake scent. You can safely swipe this on without a mirror. Doesn't last very long as it's such a light formula. Would be a great gift for a tween :)

This lipstick is my perfect "my lips but better" shade. For the price, I cannot believe how good it is. The smell, the creamy consistency, the colour - are perfect. The lasting power isn't amazing due to the creaminess of the lipstick but it's still good in consideration of the price. If you have dry lips, would highly recommend this product - it feels like a lip balm with pretty good pigmentation! LOVE IT.

This lipstick is just ok. I'm actually hesitant to call it a lipstick, because it's more like a lip butter or tinted lip balm. The color is pretty sheer, even after really slathering it on there. But, the texture is nice and creamy, and the formula actually feels pretty moisturizing, even if it doesn't make that claim. Sheer color plus moisturizing quality is what makes this less of a lipstick and more of a lip butter for me. I don't like the sweet smell, but it's tolerable. I'm pretty sensitive to smells in my lip products. It's nice to have this product around for a low maintenance dash of color, but I don't think I'd repurchase. As I said, it's just...ok.

I really wished I could give this a higher review because essence usually never disappoints me and also because of the many positive reviews of this lipstick. However, it really wasn't up to standard.
I wouldn't classify this as a lipstick - as other reviewers have stated, it's more of a tinted lip balm with some colour. To achieve full opacity, numerous layers need to be applied. It's creamy and moisturising but this means the lipstick will rub off immediately when there's contact with food and drink. I found that my lips feel very dry and cracked after a few hours and unsightly white gunk starts forming at the corners of my top and bottom lips. When swatched, the colour is a pretty yellow-toned natural looking pink but it does not look that good on my face which has neutral-yellow undertones. Lipstick packaging is unique (the colour of the tube reflects the lipstick colour) but flimsy and I live in perpetual fear of it accidentally opening and smudging everywhere in my bag.
Unfortunately, this was a dud product from a brilliant brand.

I own 2 essence lipsticks,the "in the nude" and this one. idk why but this one is a lot better. not streaky or too slippery like the "in the nude" shade. The pigmentation is sheer on my lips it looks like MLBB. I always apply lipbalm before any lipstick but I don't need to do that with this one. it also smells like bubblegum. Honestly I'm not a fan of sheer lipstick/lipbalm hybrid like the Revlon lip butters but I like this one from essence and will repurchase this shade again.

This is a great pink toned MLBB lipstick. I wouldn't really call it a lipstick, I'd say its more of a balm with colour. Which is fine, because it was like $2, so I'm not complaining. The colour is nice, a little sheer, it's creamy and glossy.
I think this is perfect for touchups on top of another lipstick, i throw it on top of my MAC Faux, and it's really nice.
Another lovely product from Essence!

I don't know if I should blame the color or this line of lipsticks, but every time I apply it, it makes my lips tingle in an uncomfortable way, almost like my lips are itching. I have three other lipsticks from this line and they don't cause me this problem so it must be an ingredient that this shade contains. The color itself is a pretty MLBB, without any glitter or shimmer, but it's impossible for me to wear it.

I like this lipstick, but then again I'm not a lipstick girl - I'm a tinted balm girl and this is closer to that than traditional lipstick.
Color - semi-sheer rosy pink, quite pretty, natural looking, flattering, leans toward warm tone
Texture - very creamy, not necessarily moisturizing but definitely not drying either
Finish - some shine, not matte or super glossy, no sparkles
Wearability - doesn't last amazingly well, but some color is left behind even after drinking/snacking
Taste - subtle vanilla that is nice, fades quickly
Packaging - stubby little bullet in color-coordinated case, sort of cute if a little cheap looking
Price - crazy cheap, I got on 50% sale for $1.50
Overall - semi-sheer creamy MLBB of decent quality for a ridiculously good price

It's not really a lipstick but a lipbalm imho. Give it a try if you like the natural look with a slight tint of pink.
