LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 12/03/12 -- Gartner Data Center Conference - Nutanix, the first company to offer a scale-out compute-and-storage appliance, today announced the latest version of its software, Nutanix OS 3.0, and a new hardware line, the NX-3000 series. These products extend its technology leadership in helping enterprises build next-generation software-defined datacenters. In addition to VM-level disaster recovery and adaptive post-process compression, Nutanix OS 3.0 also delivers dynamic cluster expansion, rolling software upgrades, and support for a second hypervisor, KVM. These software enhancements, coupled with the highly configurable NX-3000 series platform, enable unprecedented flexibility, performance, and scalability in enterprise datacenters.
"Nutanix continues to stay ahead of the innovation curve with this release. It is critical to have a solution that can adapt to such a fast paced industry while scaling at a level of granularity that best fits the growth of my business," says Rodney Perkins, IT Director of Farmers Insurance Group Federal Credit Union.
New Hardware Platform Allows For Independent and Customized Scaling. With the NX-3000 series, Nutanix has delivered a highly configurable platform in which compute-heavy and storage-heavy nodes can coexist in a single heterogeneous cluster. The platform will include hardware models that are variable in the capacity and number of PCIe-SSDs, SATA SSDs, and SATA HDDs per server node. Moreover, the nodes can have varying numbers of CPU cores per socket and variable memory capacities. This allows for independent scaling of compute and storage in a single system that is optimized for every use case and can scale to address evolving business requirements.
The NX-3000 is based on Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture and delivers unprecedented VM density in a 2U form factor.
Next-Generation Disaster Recovery. The Nutanix team, which was the first in the industry to deliver RAID, high availability, snapshots, and clones at VM-level, has implemented a highly differentiated VM-centric disaster recovery engine. The newly announced Nutanix OS 3.0 includes native storage-optimized disaster recovery that enables multi-way, master-master replication never seen before in traditional storage arrays. Administrators can configure disaster recovery policies that specify protection domains and consistency groups in primary sites, which can then be replicated to any combination of secondary sites to ensure maximum business resiliency and application performance. Furthermore, any Nutanix cluster can serve as both a primary and secondary site simultaneously for different protection domains, thereby providing even more flexibility and choice.
Nutanix OS 3.0 also delivers best-in-class runbook (failover and failback) automation that is hypervisor-agnostic, which means the native disaster recovery capabilities are available and consistent regardless of the underlying virtualization platform or management tools.
Adaptive Compression. One of the key pillars of the Nutanix solution is a highly efficient MapReduce-based framework that implements information lifecycle management in the cluster to achieve tiering, disk rebuilding, and cluster rebalancing. This massively-parallel "big data" architecture was the first of its kind in the storage industry. The same framework is being leveraged to deliver adaptive post-process compression of cold data as it migrates to the lower data tiers, thereby not impacting the normal IO path. By leveraging the information lifecycle management capabilities inherent in the Nutanix software, the system dynamically determines which data blocks to compress based on how frequently they are being accessed by the VMs. Post-process compression is ideal for random or batch workloads and delivers the highest possible overall performance. In addition, Nutanix OS 3.0 also supports basic in-line compression that works as the data is being written, which is better suited for archival and sequential workloads.
"While our existing storage solutions support compression in general, the granularity of Nutanix compression allows us to set policies at the VM level, ensuring maximum business value and storage utilization, without sacrificing performance," said Jon Lasley of Anthelio Healthcare Solutions.
Growing Hypervisor Support. With Nutanix OS 3.0, the company continues to deliver on its commitment to bring all of its enterprise features to the broadest range of platforms in the industry. The software, which was designed to be hypervisor agnostic, will now support KVM and VMware vSphere 5.1. Regardless of the underlying virtualization platform or management framework, enterprises benefit from all of the capabilities of the Nutanix software. The KVM hypervisor provides financial flexibility for enterprises and works well in workloads such as Hadoop.
Dynamic Cluster Expansion and Rolling Software Upgrades. Nutanix OS 3.0 uses a discovery-based protocol to auto-detect new nodes added to the same network as a cluster, enabling administrators to quickly and easily expand a cluster without incurring any downtime. In the background, the system will then rebalance the data across the entire storage pool, including the newly added nodes, to provide maximum IO performance.
The new software also uses software-defined networking tricks to achieve rolling software upgrades within the always-on cluster. Upgrades are delivered in a peer-to-peer framework to enable rapid software upgrades while retaining maximum cluster availability.
"The features and capabilities that we have delivered in Nutanix OS 3.0 and the NX-3000 series usher in a new era of business resiliency and datacenter optimization," said Howard Ting, VP of Marketing at Nutanix. "These enhancements, built on top of an already ground-breaking product foundation, underscore the company's continued commitment to innovation and customer success with high-end enterprise workloads."
The NX-3000 series and Nutanix OS 3.0 are available for ordering immediately. Contact your authorized Nutanix reseller or send inquiry to [email protected]. For existing customers considering an upgrade to Nutanix OS 3.0, contact Nutanix Support for assistance.

Stratham, N.H. – There are days when Scottie Scheffler makes the game of golf look uncomplicated, like on his 16th birthday last month when he shot 10-under 61 at Northwood Club to break the course record held by 1999 U.S. Junior Amateur champion Hunter Mahan. He followed it two days later with another eye-popping round at the Dallas Country Club, which was incorrectly reported by the DallasMorning News as a second 61, but Scheffler confirmed this week that it was actually a 63.
He was at it again in Wednesday's first round of the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship at the treacherous Golf Club of New England, steam-rolling Brandon Bauman of Las Vegas 7 and 6 in the most lopsided match of the day. He also shot 60 earlier this year in a practice round with friends, even though he recorded three bogeys. Then again, 11 birdies and two eagles will quickly make up for those missteps. Suffice to say, this kid isn't afraid to go low.
Of course, Scheffler is wise enough to know that golf is never painless, and the moment you think you've got it figured out, the game will prove you wrong. "Putting occasionally seems easy, but hitting the ball never does," said Scheffler, who will be entering his junior year at Highland Park High School in Dallas in the fall.
Thursday provided further evidence that nothing is assured in this sport. Some big names have bowed out early at this championship. The biggest name, Beau Hossler, went home on Thursday morning after a 4-and-2 defeat to Andrej Bevins, of Elk Grove, Calif.
Andy Zhang, the 14-year-old who became the youngest qualifier in U.S. Open history last month, was ousted in the Round of 64. Local favorite Chelso Barrett, last-year's runner-up, didn't make it to match play.
And Scheffler became the latest victim, dropping his second-round match, 2 and 1, to Korea's Tae Wan Lee.
"I was hitting the ball pretty good and just missed some putts. But I only made one bogey, so I was pretty solid. I was hitting as well as I did [Wednesday], except I was putting really well the day before," he said.
It's the second consecutive year Scheffler was ousted in the Round of 32. He went extra holes in 2011 at Gold Mountain Golf Club before losing to fellow Texan Connor Black, who was also eliminated from match play on Thursday.
"I definitely wanted to go further than the second round," he said.
The defeat ended a whirlwind week for the Scheffler family. While Scottie was competing in New Hampshire, his 17-year-old sister, Callie, was 3,000 miles away playing in the U.S. Girls' Junior at Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City, Calif.
Scottie's mom, Diane, followed him this week, while his dad, Scott, was on the West Coast watching over Callie.
"It's just been a fabulous week to have both in these [championships]," Diane said. "There's been a lot of updating going back and forth."
Callie failed to qualify for match play after scoring 10 on a hole in the second round when her tee shot became stuck in a tree.
"She played pretty solid the second day until that happened," Scottie said of Callie, who is headed to Texas A&M this fall. "It was pretty exciting and fun to have us both playing at exactly the same time."
Scheffler has been a golfing prodigy since age 5 when he shot 37 over nine holes. At 6, he carded a 33. The family was living in suburban New Jersey at the time, and his mother worked for a New York City law firm. But the Schefflers decided to move to Dallas in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, which is where they came into contact with well known teaching pro Randy Smith at Royal Oaks Country Club. After watching the then-diminutive Scheffler hit a few balls, Smith took him on as his student.
Scheffler has since experienced a growth spurt, sprouting to 6-foot, 1 and weighing 150 pounds. His tall, lanky frame is the blueprint for a golfer's body, even though he maintains, "I have an ugly swing." But, he quickly adds, "I can get it around O.K."
He appeared ready to rout another opponent on Thursday morning when he took a 2-up lead after three holes. But Lee proved a tough customer. He squared the match after five holes, setting the stage for a see-saw affair where neither player could seize control.
Scheffler lofted a 7-iron from 162 yards to 3 feet on the 443-yard seventh hole for birdie and a 1-up advantage. On the par-3 eighth, his tee shot soared long, resulting in a bogey that squared the match once again.
"I need to work on my distance control," Scheffler said afterward. "I hit my irons really well, right at the flag. But on eight I thought it was going to land on the front edge and it carried over the green."
On 10, Lee and Scheffler had identical-length birdie putts from opposite sides of the hole. Lee went first and drained his; Scheffler missed, leaving him trailing in the match for the first time.
He went 2 down on the next hole to Lee's birdie, but sliced the deficit in half on 12 with perhaps his gutsiest shot of the day. With Lee already safely on the green with a makeable birdie putt, Scheffler nearly hit the flagstick, stopping his approach 2 feet from the hole.
Back and forth they went. Lee birdied 13 to go 2 up, Scheffler got it back on 15 after a lucky break when his second shot on the par-5 hole hit the red hazard stake, stopping it from bouncing into the water. Lee wasn't so fortunate. His third shot nestled between two rocks on the water's edge in an unplayable lie.
But Scheffler's putter faltered down the stretch and Lee's kick-in birdie on 16 essentially sealed the win.
"I really didn't play much differently than [Wednesday]," Scheffler said. "It wasn't me, it was my opponent. He played really well."

Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
Other SoTL Projects
The UW-Superior Campus and community will recognize and showcase student, faculty and staff scholarship through three events on the 2nd Floor of the Yellowjacket Student Union, starting at 12:00 noon with refreshments provided by the Center for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (URSCA) and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL).
From 12:00 noon until 1:30 p.m. CETL will showcase Scholarship of Teaching and Learning with posters developed by UW-Superior's 2014-2015 Wisconsin Teaching Fellows and participants of CETL's 2014-2015 "Homegrown" SoTL Program. Participants along with descriptions of their SoTL projects are provided at the above link; come to the April 14th event to see the poster displays.
From 12:30 until 4:30 p.m. URSCA will showcase the scholarly and creative work of UW-Superiors undergraduate students. The showcase will include a poster session, visual arts displays, and performances of music and writing. A schedule for the afternoon is available at the URSCA website.
From 5:00 until 7:00 p.m., the student recipients of the prestigious Swenson Scholarship will be recognized at the Swenson Scholars Dinner by the Swenson Family Foundation and UW-Superior faculty and staff (by invitation only) through this social event sponsored by the UW-Superior Foundation.
UW System's SoTL Leadership Site, housed at UW-Milwaukee, is the primary SoTL arm of OPID and extends the faculty development work of OPID by designing initiatives to encourage scholarly inquiry into teaching and learning, and by creating inter-campus collaborations for conducting SoTL research. As a result, a core of faculty experts in classroom inquiry practices and principles from across the System now exists. ___________________________________________________________________
Dr. Hilary Fezzey (Assistant Professor of British Literature in the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures) facilitated full-day workshops over the 2013 summer designed to assist six faculty with completion of CETL-sponsored "Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Projects." In addition to her departmental position, Hilary serves as the Campus Faculty Representative to UW System's Office of Professional Instructional Development (OPID).
The summer workshop group first met on June 6th, and again on July 17, 2013, in the CETL Seminar Room - Swenson 2074. Hilary provided them with a list of reading materials prior to each gathering to assist them in preparing for their projects. The first meeting began with an introduction to SoTL and progressed to a discussion of "Decoding the Disciplines and Threshold Concepts" and a discussion on gathering SoTL evidence, or methods for systemic inquiry into student learning. The second meeting involved peer review of projects, poster presentation techniques, Institutional Review Boards, human subjects and ethical research.
Each project was funded by CETL with a $1000 stipend. The initial 75% was processed in early summer 2013, and the final 25% was processed upon completion of the individual projects (December 2013 - January 2014). Hilary Fezzey also received a stipend for coordinating and facilitating this pilot SoTL Project Program.
The Finale of the projects came on January 15, 2014, when Hilary Fezzey and four participants of the program displayed project posters and participated as panelists in a breakout session on Faculty and Staff Enhancement Day. Their individual posters are provided below.

To the Editor.—
In a recent letter in The Journal1 Dr John Cochran and his wife Arlene described their 3-year-old daughter who, on three separate occasions, developed 30- to 45-minute episodes of inappropriate behavior, confusion, and slight ataxia of gait after she had eaten wonton soup along with cola. "She was not unlike an adult mildly intoxicated with alcohol."I did a random study of 100 Chilnese families and was surprised to find out that 28% of them added wine to the food during the cooking process. This figure might be higher in Chinese restaurants.Although monosodium glutamate (MSG) is most probably the cause of Chinese restaurant syndrome, the role played by alcohol should not be ignored.

To the family and friends of Officer Cole,
Although I cannot join your gathering, I want you to know that I'm sorry you lost someone very special to you.
He was serving our community, and we should all be appreciative.

Police officers and firefighters put their lives on the line every day to protect the public at large. I had a relative who was a deputy sheriff who often spoke of the things he saw on duty. The average citizen would never see or even begin to fathom.
I thank the stars that there are men and women out there doing a job that you seem to under-appreciate. I couldn't do what they have to do.

I'm working on a little app, and one of our requirements is to check a users physical location when he did a particular activity (Example: A picture must be taken near Eiffel Tower only)
Now, a lot of our smartphone users might or might not have Data Access at that very instant.
Is it possible to fetch the users Latitude and Longitude when he's offline (No 3G/WiFi).???
I guess the Maps app on iPhone uses data connectivity just to render the underlying Google Maps and the iPhone OS still has access to device's GPS co-ordinates. Please let me know if i'm right or wrong..
I would like to learn the same about other OS'es, example: Android. Any links/references will be much appreciated.
UPDATE: I'm aware that GPS is a satellite based technology and hence i guess it should have no direct relation with internet connectivity.

of course this is a bad area of menlo park. the va hospital is closeby to this area and freeway 101. how terrible that these occurences go on. over the years there is not much improvement around the bay area
a resident of Menlo Park: Central Menlo Park

The liquor/market store on El Camino in a "good area" next to Atherton has been robbed more often than the Willow grocery.
Are you implying that the VA facility contributes to your "bad area" opinion, and that if it and the vets were removed the area could become a "good area?"
I hope I misinterpreted your remarks and that your definition of a "bad area" was not predicated upon a perception that vets who require physical and behavioral treatment for their service are bad people?

text: HD Blush is rated 4.1223 out of 5 by 515. Rated 5 out of 5 by Boo65 from Very easy to work with goes on smoothly I have been a customer of ELF for some years now, however I discovered it in my local grocery store. Great for quick pick ups and can always continue to order online Date published: 2015-03-13 Rated 5 out of 5 by shirl from Great Pigmentation I used to buy Benefit "tint" products and I will only purchase e.l.f. from here on! You only need a tiny amount and the colors are gorgeous. I bought two pink tones and am going to purchase the coral one next. Just a tiny bit on a blush brush lasts all day (and costs about $30 dollars LESS!!) Date published: 2015-03-12 Rated 4 out of 5 by linlinda from WOW THIS IS A BARGIN! VERY similar to the Nars blush stick but that broke me out.it is super pigmented and a little goes a long way if you are worry pump the product out on the back of your hand then tab little product onto the cheeki used it twice and love it and it did not broke me out..... super happythe only negative thing I have to say is..... this is not as bendable as i hope it would be but overall for that price i am very happy about the product Date published: 2015-03-12 Rated 3 out of 5 by Gweny from I am still leaning This blush is absolutely beautiful. I got in in the 'Showstopper' color and i love it. However, I find it extrmely hard to use. But practice makes perfect... i will get it sooner or later :) Date published: 2015-03-11 Rated 4 out of 5 by biohazardfairy from Long lasting, natural finish, REALLY BRIGHT I love liquid blushes and wanted to give ELF a try (I purchased headliner). Everyone says that you need to use a light hand with these. Please believe them. 1 pump is far too much for both cheeks if you want to look anything close to natural (well, if you have light skin as I do). I pumped this onto the back of my hand, blended it out a bit and then used a stippling brush so it would pick up a small and even amount of product. Way too bright for me, even after ample blending. I've been a bit too scared to try this again, since I like a subtle, natural flush. I wish these came in more muted shades, I think that would look more realistic. Date published: 2015-03-11 Rated 4 out of 5 by AKMakeup from HOLY MOLY WOW this is so beyond pigmented it's crazy! I have never used cream blush before but this has a great texture! That being said a little goes a LONG way. I personally have had issues with it being hard to apply smoothly and evenly, especially after I have all my foundation and everything else on. The color is good, I have this in Headliner. My biggest complaint is that it's hard to spread this smoothly, or layer it on (you kind of have one shot with this). I think it would be easier to use if I had the right applicator, currently I'm experimenting with an old stipple brush. This is very long lasting however, so it wold be a good product to use for night out or a long day at work. Date published: 2015-03-11 Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen48 from excellent product Love this HD blush! A little goes a long way and lasts all day. Love the color and the price! Date published: 2015-03-09 Rated 1 out of 5 by Nichole759 from Way to pigmented I bought this in august in the color superstar online at e.l.f.com and when i recived this product the color was way to pigmented a little goes a long long long way it was also to greasy and then my pump stoped working and i had to throw it out but i still am a e.l.f fan. Date published: 2015-03-06 Rated 4 out of 5 by iwearlacorona from Too pigmented You have to be careful with this product, or you will look like a clown. I think this is too much, unless you're going for a very dramatic look. Date published: 2015-03-05 Rated 4 out of 5 by makeup gal from surprise I bought this in diva and was a little concerned. I got it on a whim on day at target because it was on clearance. I thought diva would be too pigmented but it turns out it's not! Looks natural but believe me a little goes a long way! Great value! I would recommend applying it by rubbing it in with your finger for a more subtle look Date published: 2015-02-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by keano18 from Amazing! I bought this about two months ago and I am in love with it! I got the superstar color, and the pigmentation is crazy good. It blends pretty easy, too. Definitely can be used as blush and, when you inevitably pump too much, a lipstain. Love this! Will purchase again. Date published: 2015-02-27 Rated 4 out of 5 by cheyenneamie from So pigmented!!! I bought the color Encore because it was on sale. While the color itself was too bright and not right for my skin tone (i would recommend it to women with darker skin tones), the pigmentation blows me away. One full pump of this is way too much! I think that this, although very small, will last me a long time. And since the color makes me look like a clown when i wear it on my cheeks, I use it as a great lipstain with some clear lipbalm on top because it seriously wont come off Date published: 2015-02-25 Rated 4 out of 5 by Princess Inga from Great pigment! I ordered this in the color Headliner, and when I first used it I thought it was really great. It's kind of like painting on your face, the more color you add the darker it will be, which is nice. The only "con" I would say is that you have to quickly work with it after it is out of the bottle or it will become a pain to blend. Date published: 2015-02-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by ajathenile from LOVE IT! I have two colors and I have been very pleased with both. This cream blush is extremely pigmented and stays on all day! The colors are super gorgeous and the forumula doesn't stick to my dry patches. Date published: 2015-02-23 Rated 2 out of 5 by Kerri from I think I got a bad one...? I bought this about a month ago, and I was really excited to use it. I liked the color and it was really pigmented and beautiful. However, I have been watching the videos on this and the way it comes out is nothing like what mine does. My blush comes out stiffly, like its like its has dried out or something. I keep the cap on it and this ahs never happened to any of my other products. Overall, I am just sad. I am a huge believer in elf products but this has been a let down. Date published: 2015-02-19 Rated 3 out of 5 by CandiceSj from Extremely pigmented - Bad packaging I bought this quite a while ago and the quality of the product contained is good. It was a pretty colour, blended well, no lack of pigment BUT it's so hard to get the right amount of product out with this pump - it's simply waaaaaay too much for such a pigmented product and even if I accept the waste of product, it's too much trouble to manage it and I need something that I can apply quickly and painlessly.This is a huge con for me and means that I never ever reach for this product. In the end, not worth the money for that reason. Date published: 2015-02-19 Rated 1 out of 5 by bex_thon from pooly manufactured I had to throw this out after using it twice, the pump stopped working completely; the only way I could get to the product was to rip the who top off but then i had to dip my fingers in; it was just not worth it. Date published: 2015-02-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by pumehana from Love it! I saw other reviews about how it was so pigmented and me being a medium skin tone I got the lightest blush, headliner just in case. It's perfect!! A little goes a long way. I just dab 3 dots on each side, then blend. Definitely buying this again, and again lol you can't beat the price. Date published: 2015-02-16 Rated 1 out of 5 by Deutschgirl from I bought this blush back when it first came out. I was thrilled woth the color, texture and long-wear! Sadly, after that first use, I tried to use it again, but I couldn't get any product to come out, no matter how I pressed the top (or the pump-top)! Great product, but I am afraid to reorder, and get only ONE USE again. Please check on packaging, pleeeeaaase??? Thank you!, Date published: 2015-02-15 Rated 1 out of 5 by QuirkyTraits from Good product, awful packaging! I bought this about a week or so, and it worked wonderfully the first time I used it. Pretty coloring, well-pigmented, easily blended, the works! However, I only used it once before the packaging kicked in. It became useless, seeing as no product would come out no matter what I did. One use was not worth the money I paid. Date published: 2015-02-05 Rated 5 out of 5 by Sion from READ THIS BEFORE BUYING! Right meow! Okay, so, here's the thing: They are NOT kidding when they call this pigmented. Ho.Ly. Cow. Yeah, I have this in Headliner and Diva, and I almost can't even wear Diva because I'm disturbingly pale (yay for being a ginger-kid). However, that being said, these colours are AMAZING!They last really well and don't feel cakey or heavy at all.The trick is to use the stippling brush and just a TEEEEENSY amount of the blush. Seriously, you barely have to pump. I almost feel bad for buying these because I know I'll never possibly be able to use it all. (Thus the average rating on the value)This is DEFINITELY NOT for beginners. Not unless you have a lot of makeup remover handy. Date published: 2015-01-31 Rated 4 out of 5 by wildrose from Hd Blush i bought this blush because i saw in a magazine, and I was already a fan of elf's products. I've had it for a while now, but I've only used it once. My problem with this is that it is SO pigmented. I love the color, it's just to bold for me. I does blend very nicely, you just have to use a very small amount. I bought this is the color superstar. Date published: 2015-01-29 Rated 4 out of 5 by Stephc91 from Super Pigmented I got this blush in Headliner and Superstar and the pigmentation on this is amazing. I have very fair skin so the tiniest little dot of this is enough. The reason why I didn't give this 5 stars is because it is so pigmented that you can look clownish very easily so it's not for heavy handed people and also because I have the two lightest colors but there is really no difference between the colors when they are on my face. Date published: 2015-01-28 Rated 4 out of 5 by jesstoimpress from WOW I have the shade "Superstar". WOW. This stuff, just wow. It's so pigmented, a teeny tiny drop is all I need, and it goes on forever, lasts forever. This blush is impressive. It would be impressive at any price. I am very fair, so I probably should have grabbed the lighter shade. It's hard to spread, since it's so thick and pigmented. I think I need to add in the teeniest drop of foundation to help thin it out. I'm not accustomed to cream blushes, so I'm still figuring out. Date published: 2015-01-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by Kirabunny from love love love! I love this blush! It's sooo pigmented! A little goes a long way, I just barely press down on the pump to get a tiny dot on my hand and then get into it with a small stipple brush. Date published: 2015-01-26 Rated 5 out of 5 by Lab Lover from Outstanding Blush This is my favorite blush ever! I have a huge collection of blushes from high end to drugstore and this gives my skin such a beautiful, natural color..like your cheeks look when you were out in the cold air. A little goes a long way and it lasts all day. Love,love,love! Date published: 2015-01-25 Rated 4 out of 5 by Sarha from Almost too pigmented. . Great product, very smooth. I ordered 'Superstar' and the product goes a LONG way. If you're light skinned, be careful or you will look like you have a fever. Other than that, great product! Date published: 2015-01-23 Rated 2 out of 5 by jewels89 from Beautiful color and finish, but not good for my sk I really loved the color of this blush. It's beautiful and the finish is so natural, but it irritated my cheeks badly. I have normal skin, and I had never had any type of reaction to any makeup. I broke out like a have never before and my cheeks were so irritated. This was my very first elf purchase, and I am now nervous to try more of these products. Again, the blush is stunning, but my skin did not handled it well. Date published: 2015-01-19 Rated 5 out of 5 by Alycat2781 from Great blush!! You can get a natural finish or layer for drama. Use sparingly because it is very intense colour. Pigment lasts all day and night! Absolutely love it! Date published: 2015-01-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by Sorsha from I was hesitant, but I was wrong. I bought this after hearing amazing reviews. I don't usually wear blush. I have very pale skin and I find it difficult to find blushes that give me that desired "healthy glow" without making me look like a clown. I find most blushes are either too dark or too light/shimmery like a highlighter. Also, I just don't like spending money on something that will go to waste, so I was VERY hesitant to buy this.I chose the shade Headliner as everyone raves about it and says it's the best colour for fairer skinned individuals. The first thing I thought was the bottle is so tiny- cute, sleek, chic, but tiny. Upon application, I realized why that's not such a bad thing- this is SUPER pigmented. Like, crazy, ridiculously pigmented. I press the pump down about half way and the back of my hand looks burnt. So a light hand, and a good brush, is required. This bottle will last me a long, long time.The consistency is thick yet a bit creamy and the finish goes to more of a powder. It does not dry tacky or anything. It feels great on the skin, and if you are gentle with the amount you apply it looks great! It's better to put on too little at first than too much. It is harder to work with than a powder blush- it takes some learning, but it is worth it.I see a lot of people saying they have pale skin and all of these blushes are too dark. I am very pale. It is so easy to pick concealer and foundation shades for myself, because typically it's the lightest one (Ivory). The first time I applied this, it was too much- I looked flushed. So the next time, I used a quarter-half a pump on the back of my hand, swirled my brush in it, dabbed it on the back of my hand a bit, and then I applied carefully. Results were great!I adore this. I wear it everyday. It lasts pretty much all day, the colour is perfect for me. I'm just so happy. The only con is that it takes a bit of practice (I have barely used blush, let alone liquid blush so), but the pros really make it worth the effort.I have also used this on my lips as a stain, and it is gorgeous. I haven't tested it thoroughly, so I can't speak for wear or anything but the colour looks beautiful on the lips.

Anyone know of a good AM radio?
We live in the sticks and have satellite radio but also have an old Sony boom-box-cassette-player that was a good AM radio. The Sony has died and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good radio to buy in order to get a strong AM signal. The only other radio that got good AM reception was a 1950's or 60's K-mart clock radio that was left in our garage by a previous owner -- great for baseball games!
Anyone know of a good AM radio or how to make an average radio get a better AM signal? I know little-to-nothing about electronics......Thank you in advance!
Here you go...
Here is a link that might be useful: click here
Hello Colleen, I'm completely new to this forum type communication. I just joined this club a couple days ago because I was looking for a member called Pee-wee. A quick overall, I'm paralyzed from shoulders down, you specialized equipment for daily activity, my Magnavox television is on the fritz. To replace it would cost me hundreds more than the set itself, a new one that is. pee_wee was giving great advice on how to fix Magnavox at-home. Local repair guy says he can't be fixed, just wants to sell another set. Hoping Pee-wee can help me if I can find him. As for your AM radio, the older style with tubes were great for a.m. they would pick up when nothing else would. I have a small wooden box old-style AM/FM receiver that works great. hook couple couple of speakers and a quality antenna, I think you'll be impressed. I bought it because I had one of the old console type a.m. FM radio turntable units in my house. Was going to replace it, couldn't do it. Has a terrific sound system. So I throw my XM radio on top of the unit and crank it out. The small one I bought to replace it with is the old turn knob. And receives very well. I'm not roll up on the policy of the unit yet if I'm allowed to offer to sell it to you. If you want it. Give me the $20I paid for it and the $10 it cost to ship it to you. You don't like it, it doesn't work out for you, send it back, I'll give you your 20 back. If this is breaking any of the rules that go with this website, you can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Hope this helps
A good cheap AM radio would be the G.E. Super Radio. It has an RF amp in the front end and both very good sensitivity and selectivity. However I don't know that you can buy them new anymore. Don't buy an add on or external antenna. They just don't work that well. Another option is get a car radio and hook it up to a 12 volt power supply. Hope this helps>.
