A technique for ensuring independence of random samples of input queues of time-shared processing systems taken during a fixed interval to determine system usage involves interposing guardband intervals of minimum time duration between such samples. A stratified sampling method is disclosed which develops successive stratum or subintervals, positions a data sampling at a random point in each subinterval and interposes a guardband interval between successive subintervals. A simple random sampling method is disclosed which takes a sampling at the termination of a random subinterval and interposes a guardband interval between successive random subintervals.
1. A method of providing a plurality of random samplings of data within a predetermined time interval wherein each sampling is accommodated by an individual one of a plurality of successive subintervals, comprising the steps of:
obtaining a value defining a fixed duration of time for identifying durations of guardband intervals,
obtaining clock times identifying each of the plurality of subintervals to accommodate the sampling individual thereto by identifying the initiation clock time and termination clock time of the subinterval,
delaying the initiation time of each subinterval after termination of the prior subinterval in the succession for the defined fixed duration of time whereby guardband intervals are interposed between successive ones of the subintervals, and
sampling the data in the accommodating subinterval by obtaining the data sampling at a clock time between the initiation clock time and the termination clock time thereof.
2. A method of providing a plurality of random samplings in accordance with claim 1 wherein the step of sampling the data includes obtaining a data sampling at a random point within the subinterval.
3. A method of providing a plurality of random samplings in accordance with claim 2 wherein the step of sampling the data is precluded when the occurrence thereof is after the termination of the predetermined time interval.
4. A method of providing a plurality of random samplings in accordance with claim 3 and further including the steps of:
acquiring data in response to each sampling, and
accumulating the acquired data.
5. A method of providing plurality of random samplings in accordance with claim 2 wherein the step of obtaining clock times identifying each subinterval is precluded when the termination of the guardband interval occurs after the termination of the predetermined time interval.
6. A method providing a plurality of random samplings in accordance with claim 5 and further including the steps of:
acquiring data in response to each sampling, and accumulating the acquired data.
7. A method of providing a plurality of random samplings in accordance with claim 1 wherein the step of sampling the data includes obtaining a data sampling at the termination of the subinterval.
This invention relates to random sampling methods and, more particularly, to random sampling methods useful for data gathering to analyze computer systems and the like.
Monitoring of data in a computer system or network has many purposes, such as for analyzing system usage and performance. It might be useful, for example, in a time-shared processing system to determine the average number of users awaiting service in system queues. A typical data gathering technique to make this determination involves periodically sampling the queue to thereby obtain the number of users therein awaiting service during some predetermined analysis period.
It is known that fixed periodic sampling may yield statistically biased results if the changes in the sampled data cannot be characterized mathematically as random. If the sampling rate is increased or raised, the confidence level associated with the estimated result is correspondingly raised. The increased rate, however, may not necessarily correct the statistically biased results. Accordingly, accuracy in the results might only be achieved by sampling which is entirely random.
There are a number of different possible approaches to random sampling. Advantageously, for each of several approaches, a discrete analysis period is defined and the average number of samples to be obtained during this discrete period is determined in accordance with the confidence level desired. The average interval between samples can thus be calculated. For simple random sampling, one obtains random numbers which lie between zero and twice the length of the average interval. The random numbers, thus obtained, identify successive random time intervals (or subintervals of the discrete analysis period) and the random pulse occurs at the termination of each such subinterval. Another approach, defined stratified sampling, creates analysis period subintervals or stratum and positions a sampling in a random point in each stratum.
These several random sampling approaches could achieve freedom from statistical bias and high level of confidence. The approaches permit, however, situations where there may be substantially little or no time gap between two successive samples. This could result in the lack of independence of information in the successive samplings since, if the samplings are taken too closely together, the information in the samplings have an inordinate high degree of redundancy; more samples are taken than necessary.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved random sampling process. It is a more specific object of this invention to achieve independence between random samples.
In accordance with the objects of this invention, a fixed duration of time is defined to identify guardband intervals and the initiation of subintervals of the discrete analysis period is delayed for the fixed duration of time after termination of the prior subinterval whereby guardband intervals are interposed between subintervals to insure appropriate time separation of successive samples.
One specific embodiment, described in detail hereinafter, involves the stratified sampling method arranged in accordance with this invention. More specifically, during an analysis period, subintervals or stratum are created and a sampling is positioned in a random point in each stratum to formulate the stratified sampling method. The initiating of each stratum is delayed for the fixed duration of time to interpose guardband intervals. Each sampling obtains data which is accumulated during the analysis period and is processed at the termination of the period.
Another specific embodiment, described hereinafter, involves the simple random sampling method arranged in accordance with this invention.
The foregoing and other objects and features of this invention will be more fully understood from the following description of an illustrative embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a symbolic representation of processes of a time-shared processing system arranged in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 depicts a timing diagram illustrating an example of a stratified sampling method in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 3 depicts a timing diagram illustrating an example of a simple random sampling method in accordance with this invention;
FIGS. 4 and 5, when vertically aligned, show a flow diagram disclosing the steps involved in implementing a sampling process in accordance with this invention; and
FIG. 6 discloses a flow diagram disclosing the details of a conventional queueing process.
Multiprocess system 101 depicted in FIG. 1 symbolically represents the resources of a conventional time-shared computing or processing machine or system. In general, a process is capable of performing all or part of a job or task, typically using hardware apparatus operating in accordance with software instructions.
For the purpose of describing this invention, four of the many processes of multiprocess system 101 are shown in FIG. 1. These processes constitute queueing process 102, random number generation process 103, system clock process 104 and sampling process 105.
Queueing process 102 provides the functions of accepting requests from the various time-share users of the system, queueing or lining up the requests of various users in accordance with a predetermined criteria, such as a first-in, first-served basis, and then serving the request by providing the user access to the appropriate system resources when the queue process determines that the user's time to be served has arrived. As described in further detail hereinafter, queue process 102 also maintains a count of the number of users in the queue who are waiting to have their requests met but have not as yet been served.
Random generation process 103 constitutes a conventional process for generating random numbers between "0" and "1". These random numbers will be used by sampling process 105 as described in detail hereinafter.
System clock process 104 constitutes a process for generating identification of the time of day. This time of day identification is available to sampling process 105 for the purpose of utilizing various times of day and various time intervals.
Sampling process 105 provides a process, in accordance with this invention, for periodically sampling the number count of the users in the queue awaiting service. In accordance with a specific embodiment of this invention, these samples are taken over a predefined interval of time and the sampled data is then utilized to estimate the average queue length, that is, to estimate the average number of users awaiting service.
A number of different methods of sampling may be advantageously utilized in accordance with this invention. One method of sampling is identified as stratified sampling, which sampling process is described in an article of R. A. Orchard entitled "A New Methodology for Computer System Data Gathering", Computer Science and Technology: Computer Performance Evaluation Users Group (CPEUG), Proceedings of the Thirteenth Meeting held at New Orleans, Louisiana, Oct. 11-14, 1977, pp. 159-167. In accordance with the stratified sampling method discussed by R. A. Orchard, successive stratum (or subintervals) each having a duration of time (t2) is defined. Sampling is then provided at one random instant of time in each of the stratum (or subintervals).
It can be deduced that a minimum time is required between samples to achieve independence, which independence may be defined as the independence of information in successive samples. If samples are taken too closely together, more information is obtained than is necessary and such information therefore has a degree of redundancy.
In accordance with this invention and as shown in FIG. 2, a stratified sampling process having a minimum interval between samples is achieved. More specifically in accordance with a specific implementation described in detail hereinafter and as shown in the timing diagram depicted in FIG. 2, a stratum having a time interval t2 is first generated and a random sample is developed within the stratum. At the termination of the stratum interval, the sampling process terminates and pauses for a "guardband" interval having a duration (t1) of time. At the termination of this guardband interval, stratified sampling is resumed by again reproducing a stratum interval and again generating a random sample during this interval. This, as seen in FIG. 2, has the effect of producing interleaved stratum and guardband intervals with random sampling in each of the stratum, which samplings are independent from each other. As further noted in FIG. 2, this sampling is initiated at a predetermined Start of clock time and is terminated, that is, no sampling occurs, after a predetermined End of clock time.
An alternative method of sampling designated random sampling is also described hereinafter in accordance with this invention. Random sampling, as is well known in the art, constitutes generating a series of random samples or samplings in a specified interval. One might conceive of random sampling as producing a series of random subintervals in such specified interval, which subintervals might be random in duration and then taking the sampling at the end of each such random subinterval. Independence of the samples in the random sampling method is achieved in accordance with this invention by interposing guardband intervals. As seen in the timing diagram depicted in FIG. 3, random samples are taken in the specified interval (Start Time, End Time). At the termination of the subinterval of random length r, the first random sampling occurs. A guardband interval t1 is initiated at this point of time to provide a minimum time interval between samples to achieve dependence. At the termination of the guardband interval t1, sampling is recommenced if the End of clock time has not been reached. A new subinterval of random length r is generated. At the end of it a sample of the queue length is taken. Guardband intervals are thus interleaved with random subintervals in substantially the same way that guardbands are interleaved with stratum in the stratified sampling process.
To develop the stratified sampling method, the duration of the sampling must be defined. More specifically, the clock time for the start of the process and the clock time for the termination of the sampling process is stored in the time-shared processing system or machine and rendered available to sampling process 105 as the Start clock time and End clock time.
The stratified sampling method also requires the determination of the guardband time interval (t1). This time interval constitutes a time constant which is the same for each guardband interval. In order to achieve independence between samples, the time separation must be equal to or in excess of a minimum time interval. It has been determined that such a minimum time interval t1 may be calculated from the following equation: ##EQU1## wherein the mean arrival rate λ constitutes the mean arrival rate of requests for service that are received by queue process 102; the mean service time (1/μ) constitutes the time required for the computer to service each of successive requests and d is an estimation of the correlation of information between successive samples (which lies between 0 and 1) in the absence of guardband intervals where lower numbers signify lower degrees of correlation. The constant t1 thus being calculated is stored in the computer or processing machine for use in the stratified sampling method described below.
The stratified sampling method also requires identification of the length (t2) of each stratum wherein ##EQU2## wherein T is clock time duration from start to end of the processing, that is, the interval wherein the plurality of samples are taken between the Start time clock time and End clock time and the average number of samples to be taken is defined by
N=[k/b]2 (3)
As taught by the above-identified article by R. A. Orchard, k is correlated with a confidence level desired for the sampling and b is the number of standard deviations from the actual mean queue length within which the estimated mean queue length must lie, i.e.,
x-bσ≦x≦x+bσ, (4)
where x=actual mean queue length, x=estimated mean queue length, and σ=standard deviation of the queue length during the specified interval.
As seen in process step 401 in FIG. 4, the process 105 is initialized by obtaining the above-described stored values of constants t1 and t2 and the Start and End clock times which were also stored as described above. The process proceeds to the next step or routine (402) wherein the present clock time is obtained from system clock process 104 and compared with the Start clock time. When there is an equality between the present and Start clock times, the stratum interval commences and the process advances to step or routine 403.
In routine 403, a sum of sample values (SS) is set to "0". The variable SS will designate the accumulated number of users in the queue waiting to be served when the plurality of samples are taken. A number of samples (NT) is set to "0" to maintain a count of the number of samples taken. The process then advances to step 404.
In step 404, the constant t2 is multiplied with the random number obtained from random number generation process 103. The product thus obtained provides the random instant (R) in the present stratum that sampling takes place. This random instant (R) is added to the present clock time, in routine 405, to define the exact clock time for the stratified sample to take place.
The process now advances to decision step 406 wherein the exact sample clock time calculated in step 405 is compared with the End clock time to determine whether the stratified sample would occur after the End time for the entire sampling process. If the sampling would occur after the End clock time, routine 418 advances the process to step 417 to be described below. It is assumed in this case, however, that this first sample instant is before the End clock time and, upon such determination by routine 406, the process advances to decision step or routine 408.
In step 408 the clock time for the first sampling instant is compared with the present clock time and, when they coincide, the process steps to routine 409 to obtain the number output (SQ) of the queue. This number output, as noted above, defines the number of users in the queue awaiting service. In step 410 (FIG. 5), number SQ is then added to the sum of sample numbers SS to obtain a new sum number. The number of samples taken (NT) is incremented by "1". The process thereupon advances to step 411.
In step 411, the present clock time (i.e., the time of the present sampling) is added with t2 and the sampling time R is subtracted from this sum to obtain the clock time that defines the termination of the stratum time which coincides with the initiation of the guardband interval. Production of stratum intervals for sampling new ceases for the duration of the guardband interval.
The clock time for the initiation of the guardband interval is added to time t1 in routine 412 to identify the clock time terminating the guardband interval. Sampling now pauses or stops and the guardband time interval occurs while decision routine 413 compares the present clock time and the clock time termination of the guardband interval, delaying the advancing of the process until the guardband interval terminates.
When the guardband interval terminates, routine 413 advances the process to decision step 414 wherein this termination of guardband clock time is compared with the End clock time of the sampling. If the termination of guardband clock time occurs after the End clock time, step 414 advances the process to routine 417 described hereinafter. In the event, however, that the termination of guardband clock time occurs first, the process returns to step 404. In step 404, a new random number is obtained and the new random number is again multiplied with the stratum time t2 to obtain a new sampling instant R which is added, in routine 405, to the present clock time to define the new sampling clock time instant. The next sampling is thus determined in substantially the same manner as the fist sampling described above.
Assume now that the sampling clock time or the termination of guardband clock time occurs after the End clock time, previously described with respect to routines 414 and 418. This advances the process to step 417. In step 417, the process provides an estimate of the average queue length during the time interval from the Start to the End of the sampling. More specifically, the average queue length is determined from the sum of the sample numbers SS divided by the number (NT) of samples taken. This estimated result, upon calculation, is therefore available to provide an estimated average queue length derived from stratified sampling taken with intervening guardbands to provide an appropriate time interval between samples to achieve independence.
To develop the random sampling method the duration of the sampling interval must be defined in the same way as the stratified sampling method is developed from the Start clock time and the End clock time. The guardband time interval (t1) constant is calculated in the same manner as the stratified sampling method and the upper bound (t2) on random number R is then obtained from the equality: ##EQU3## The process steps for random sampling is then substantially identical with the process steps for the stratified sampling method described above relative to FIGS. 4 and 5, with the exception that step or routine 411 is eliminated. The guardband interval commences immediately after a sample is taken. In all other respects including the determination of the average queue length, the routines for the random sampling method are substantially identical to the routines for the stratified sampling method.
FIG. 6 discloses an appropriate process for generating the current number of users (SQ) in the queue awaiting service. As seen in FIG. 6 and more specifically in routine 602 when a user requests service, the current number SQ is obtained and incremented and this new current number constitutes the number of users in the queue awaiting service. In the event that a user in the queue obtains service, the current number is decremented as seen in routine 603 and this new SQ number constitutes the current number in the queue awaiting service.
Although a specific embodiment of this invention has been shown and described, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of this invention.

The Economist explains: How does a denial-of-service attack work?
The Economist explains
Lexington made a transatlantic comparison between the Republicans and the latter days of John Major's Conservative government in the UK, claiming that "the [Conservative] party's hard right did its best to redefine conservatism as the philosophy of mean-spirited lunatics". As a follower of British politics at that time, I can recall no such lunacies, but, rather, attempts by freer thinking party members to try to persuade John Major to adopt free market policies such as school vouchers. Statists such as the Labour Party and, it seems, your correspondent misinterpreted such policies as "hard right". Ironically, in view of your recent criticism of Vladimir Putin and his old KGB colleagues in Russia, you seem to be continuing the old Soviet tradition of claiming that anyone who thinks differently is mentally ill. Why not cut out the insulting language in future and stick to the facts?

Anyone ever seen one of these in real life? The GSh-18 or the Strizh? 17 parts and a low bore axis.
The GSh-18 (Cyrillic: ГШ-18 ) is a 9mm semi-automatic pistol developed in the early 1990s at the KBP Instrument Design Bureau in Tula. The pistol's name is derived from its designers—Gryazev and Shipunov, and the number 18 denotes the magazine capacity. It is also designed to fire the new Russian 9x19mm 7N21 and 7N31 (Cyrillic: 7Н21 and 7Н31) +P+ armor-piercing rounds.
For 2011, KPB Design Bureau announced a possible marketing of a civilian version of the GSH 18 with modified trigger and firing pin to comply with Russian gun law. This information was confirmed at the 2011 IWA show where a sample gun was displayed.
The GSh-18 is a short recoil-operated, locked breech pistol. The weapon has an unusual cam-rotated barrel with 10 locking lugs. The GSh-18 is striker-fired and features a pre-set trigger that pre-cocks the pistol when the slide recoils after firing a shot. The striker firing pin is then fully cocked by pulling the trigger back to the rear. With the standard bullets, GSh-18 punches all known bullet-proof vests (including army). With the armor-piercing bullets 7N31 the gun punches 8 mm of steel (15–20 meters of distance). GSh-18 contains only 17 parts (for example the Glock 17 contains 34 parts).

Our favorite aspect of the room was the bathroom with both a deep
soaking tub and a lovely shower with hand held spray. This latter
feature is often omitted in even many nicer hotels. Of course the marble
and the overall design created a cheerful and homey environment. The bed
was excellent and the mattress was friendly to our hypersensitive backs.
The sound system was nice. Our room faced the back and so was extemely
quiet for nyc. Of course, the staff was as pleasant as could be. - Anonymous
Location perfect. Staff perfect. A great visit and we regretted we were not stayinmg for longer (one night only) - Douglas

Lovely facility, wonderful staff! - Anonymous
The apartment was clean and very well furnished. The greeter was quite helpful in getting me organized and also had lots of tips for me on the neighborhood. The neighborhood was great as there was many subways nearby. - Anonymous
Beautiful hotel; I love the dark wood and elegant light fixtures. The
room was spacious and attractive with a great view. The bed was so
comfortable - I haven't slept so well in a long time. We also
enjoyed the beautiful lounge and the gym. - Anonymous

what causes difference in azalea bloom?
I am experiencing my first spring in with a foundation bed in our new house and have a question about 5 azalea bushes I have inherited.
They are in full sun most of the day and are planted in awful clay soil. In the very early spring, I moved 2 shrubs and left 3 where they have been for probably 5 years.
The two I moved bloomed beautifully. 1 of the 3 I left bloomed ok, the other 2 had no flowers.
My question is this...is the bloom difference from their treatment this year or was were the buds set last year and it had nothing to do with the transplantation, but something with their conditions last year? The only thing I can think of is that the transplanted shrubs may have gotten a little more shade than the others before I moved them. The one of the 3 that remained in their old spot MAY have gotten a little filtered shade from a nearby tree, but it would be a minimal difference from the other 2 that didn't bloom. They area planted in a row. I mixed in a better top soil and peat moss with the transplanted shrubs. The others are, obviously, in the same dry clay soil.
They all looked the same when I moved them, I thougth they all had a ton of flower buds, but I guess I may have mistaken the flower buds on the ones that didn't bloom. Could those have been just leaves I was seeing? I gave them all Miracle Grow Azalea food when I moved them (which I know now was a mistake, but they all look ok). The transplanted ones have fewer leaves, but a ton of flowers. They were actually looking pretty rough before the bloom. Now they are filling in with leaves. The others have a ton of nice leaves, but no flowers.
Thanks for any input. I have never had azaleas before and I'm hoping to do anything I can for a good bloom next year. I would love it if all 5 shrubs could bloom at the same time! Also, if I wanted to shape the shrubs a little, should I do that now, just as the flowers are dying off?
The flower buds were formed last year, so your transplanting had nothing to do with the number of flower buds. In mid winter the flower buds and leaf buds look similar. Then in spring the flower bud swell up and open. The leaf buds normally just open without much swelling. Looking closely you can see how many flower buds they had after the leaf buds open. The flower buds will be either spent flowers or unopened flower buds.
There are several reasons flower buds don't open: drought, frost, fungal damage, and premature partial opening in the fall or mid winter.
The reasons for poor bud set are also multiple: poor health of the plant, lack of light, too much fertilizer, and poor drainage.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to grow azaleas
Thanks, that's what I was thinking...that the buds were set from last year's conditions. So apparently, I moved the ones that were happy and left the ones that aren't so happy! Ugh! Oh well, they couldn't have stayed where they were, so I really had no choice. I guess I'll just have to try to figure out how to make them happy in their current spot. Thanks for the link, I am going to read up and see what I can do for them now. I have trouble figuring out how to do the best for the plant after it is already in it's spot and mature. New plantings I get, but I'm new to caring for mature plants that aren't thriving, I mean short of moving them altogether and replacing them (that is not really in the budget!)
Thanks again,
Many people move azaleas until they find a spot where they do well. As you probably found out, though it is not easy, it isn't too bad of a job to move an azalea. When moving it permits you to prepare the soil properly in the new location or even if you just put it back in the same location.

Assicurazioni Generali SpA to Take Full Control of Generali Deutschland Holding AG
Assicurazioni Generali SpA (Generali) announced that it intends to take full control of Generali Deutschland Holding AG by purchasing the 7% minority stake. Generali has agreed to acquire a 3% stake in Generali Deutschland Holding from a group of private investors, which will take it beyond the 95% equity stake threshold. Consequently, Generali intends to exercise its right and start the squeeze-out procedure of the outstanding 4% stake in order to take full equity control of the company. Following this transaction, which is expected to be completed by the end of the first semester 2014, Generali will retain the entire net result of Generali Deutschland Holding, equal to EUR 504 million in fiscal year 2012. In addition, after the transaction and the delisting of Generali Deutschland Holding's shares, Generali expects to achieve tax efficiencies, arising from a fiscal unity to be subsequently implemented in Germany, and additional operational synergies. Including these efficiencies and depending on the squeeze-out price, the investment is expected to be accretive on an earnings per share basis. To support the deal, Generali started the placement of up to 15.5 million own shares, equating to approximately 1% of the share capital, in line with the Group's goal to manage its capital and liquidity efficiently. Together with this placement, the acquisition of 7% of Generali Deutschland Holding will be broadly neutral in terms of Solvency I.

The salinity products from SMOS are now the most interesting part of the mission. Serendipitous 50 km soil moisture retrievals from the active microwave scatterometer (primarily an ocean wind sensor) on ESA METOP have been around for a few years and have undercut the novelty of this mission's land surface measurements.
However, the holy grail of oceanographic remote sensing is observing the surface conditions in the Western Pacific during El Nino formation. Measurements of near-daily surface salinity changes could elucidate the cause of ENSO or, at the very least, would become a useful diagnostic tool. SMOS should be more than capable of this.
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

My HG eyeliner. I use it daily and I LOVE the smudge tip on the end. Goes on nice and creamy and never flakes up on me. I have hooded lids and it doesn't seem to transfer either...but I do tend to set it with a pat of matching eyeshadow on humid days. Doesn't crumble or break on me either, and I carry it with me in my purse 24/7. :)

I've been using this pencil eyeliner exclusively for over 5 years, and it's great. It's very easy to use and you don't have to bother about sharpening since you just twist for more product. Goes on smooth and dark, and it usually goes on sale. The only other eyeliner I use when I don't use this is the Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner. These are my two favourites. Highly recommend.

I'm going to try to make this review short and to the point, so bare with me if it's not the most well-worded review you've ever read. I loved the packaging; it allows only a little to come out of the tube therefore little product is wasted and little of the eyeliner is ever broken. It is on the more inexpensive side of drugstore(especially automatic) eyeliner which is a major plus. The smudger isn't perfect by any means, BUT it does help to use the smudger to gently smudge the product into itself when on to help it stay. It looks like a weird blue sometimes(I have the black onyx kind), not a good thing. It is dark, good thing. It smudges slightly at times, but overall if you don't mess with your eye area too much or blink like a mad man than it stays put. Don't set it with eyeliner powder though. It actually makes it smudge worse on the lower lash line. Overall it's a good product and I will be repurchasing.

I really wish this eyeliner would stay on longer. This eyeliner is really easy to use. It's automatic so no sharpening needed and it glides on very easy. At first I couldn't get it to go on in a smooth line the way I wanted it to but after some blending the lines were smooth and beautiful. If you don't have time to blend then just wait a few minutes and the eyeliner will blend itself. I know that sounds wierd but I swear it happens somehow...mabye becuase the eyeliner is melting off. After just an hour or two you can find most of the eyeliner under your eyes in smudges. Could have been a great product if it stayed on longer.

This is pretty good. It glides easily as others have said and does smudge pretty easily.I'm not 100% on the staying power of it when it is directly on your waterline(i have to line right under my water line or my eyes look small.) But otherwise it is really great! i have it in the darkest shade and it is SERIOUSLY dark..i think when i re-purchase this i will get a shade lighter.

This eyeliner is amazing! It goes on very smoothly. My only problem with it is staying power. On the waterline, it doesn't stay too long, but on the upper lid it works just fine. I would definitely recommend it.

When I first got this I thought it was amazing because it glided on so smoothly, but then after a few hours, it started smudging really bad. I really wish it didn't because otherwise this would be a great eyeliner. I do like the fact that you never have to sharpen this and it's pretty pointy so you can get a pretty precise line, and I do sometimes use this on my upper lash line and it doesn't really smudge. So I wouldn't buy it again but I will use it up.

I bought a few of these during a BOGO1/2 sale. I have been using them for weeks and I really like them. I haven't ever gotten the smudge below my eyes that everyone's talking about. They stay put pretty well, though I do use UDPP and that may have something to do with it. I've worked out with this liner on, accidentally slept with it on, and it still looked good after. No smudging or flaking. Though maybe a little faded, but what eyeliner wouldn't after that? I like that the tip isn't really wide like most liners and I can actually control the thickness of the line. Overall, I would buy these on sale again.

Five of 10 S&P sectors are showing negative earnings growth, putting pressure on analysts to revise down estimates.» Read More
Every day, about 10 Kansas City Southern trains hauling everything from cars to chemicals crisscross the border between Mexico and the United States at Laredo, Texas, up from about six three years ago.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-- Kansas City Southern said Friday that its third-quarter net income fell 9.8 percent, hurt by tough comparisons to a prior-year period boosted by a hefty one-time gain. The Kansas City, Mo.- based railroad earned $90 million, or 82 cents per share, down from $99.8 million, or 91 cents per share, in the same quarter last year.

zero radius stainless sinks
Can you tell me your negative experiences with zero radius stainless sinks please.
This cabinet person advised me that water accumulates in the indent lines in the sink.
I am interested in single sinks - and not sure what size I should be wanting to get. I do have large pans and the sink sits over a double cabinet underneath - so I don't think I am restricted in size - but also don't want to give up too much of my counter space.
Can't post negative experiences because we love ours!
Our Julien 0-radius sink initially had a drainage issue it seemed, but it stopped "puddling" shortly after (maybe it settled?). It's been fine ever since.
No cleaning issues. Occasionally I notice a little bit of hard water residue build-up along corners, but I give it a quick scrub with some BKF and that does the trick. FWIW, we get hard water build-up on our fire clay sinks, granite counters, etc., so I don't consider this to be a 0-radius sink issue.
We have 2 single bowl stainless steel sinks on the opposite sides of our kitchen. I really loved them at first but after a couple of years I started becoming less satisfied and the dissatisfaction grew over time. Now, 7 years after putting them in, I regret our choice. It's one of the few regrets I have with the kitchen and unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to change.
We constantly have to brush out the corners, even when the rest of the sink looks fine. When buying sink brushes I have to make sure they will actually reach into the corners because a lot of the times the plastic head will prevent the bristles from getting there.
Water drains slowly because of the flatness of the sink and a lot of food chunks and sludge get left behind. This is particularly a problem with the larger sink where we have a grid. It's hard to nudge the bits of food toward the drain when the grid is in the way and the spray on our faucet isn't strong enough for particularly sticky food. And often a slight sludge will build up in the indents running toward the drain. I've had stainless steel sinks in the past but I never had problems like the ones I have with the zero radius sinks.
Bottom line, I would not get another zero radius sink. I would look at the sinks that are close to zero radius but have more forgiving corners. I love the flat surface our sink grid gives us. There is no need for a flat sink under the grid and I'd prefer a sink with more of a slope so that it would drain more quickly and thoroughly.
I've been really happy with the dimensions of our 2 sinks. Our large sink is 30"x17"x10" and it's where I do most of the work. It's large enough to handle several tasks at once. Our other sink is 13"x18"x10". It got hooked up about a month before the larger sink and I found I could perform just about any task in it (the depth allowed me space to rinse dishes under the faucet even when there was soapy water on the bottom.)
Again, I really loved the sinks at first. But, as with many things that age, they require more and more maintenance to keep them looking good. I didn't have to pay the same attention to the corners during the first several year as I do now. Maybe wear and tear and minute scratches give more places for gunk to cling.
So, you have two conflicting opinions so far. I'm not here to break the tie...
Last house had a zero radius sink, loved it, no crud in the corners. In fact loved it so much, did it again...3 sinks in this kitchen.
But, they are not the same sinks. Before we had a Ticor sink. This time I have a Kohler Stages, a small Ticor beverage sink, and a Julien knock-off. I do find myself cleaning the corners of all of them more than I did in the last house. I don't know why.
Does it bug me enough to say in the next kitchen I would never do it again? No. I like the look, I like the room, and I would certainly pick them again. Well, maybe not the beverage one (only because it splashes like crazy and is too small).
When I clean the sink, (with BKF or Cameo), I smoosh the scrub sponge into the corners, and then rinse with the spray from our faucet. If I'm wiping the sink dry with a microfiber or paper towel, I'll do the same with the corners. That's it. No scrub brushes, no extra effort. Sometimes I'll clean the sink a few days in a row after washing up from dinner perhaps, and sometimes I'll go a few days without "cleaning" it (just a rinse with the sprayer).
I've mentioned here before; once every so often (could be months), I'll stick a cotton swab into the corners to wipe out any crud that could be lurking, and rarely if ever come up with anything more than the faintest of residue/grime on the tip.
Maybe the welds/corners of our particular Julien sink doesn't hold onto crud as readily as other sinks?
Love the stages. Cleaning it really is no big deal. One thing I have noticed is that the ss on the bottome is scratched and we have had a grate in it since day 1. I can only think that the BKF did it. It's no big deal but just something I found interesting. I now use the Kaboom spray that turns from purple to white. I love that stuff. It just works great for me. Toxic? Probably.

Reflections provide some year-to-year growth, yet leave room for some deja vu
New Year's, in my limited experience, always seems to accompany an intense case of nostalgia. Once January strikes, I'm spun into a ghost-of-New-Years-past sort of journey, encompassing the varied events of the most recent 365 days.
Because my birthday falls on the first, the onset of the syndrome is usually marked by thoughts of how much (or how little) I've changed since my biological clock last upped an increment.

WANTED: People interested in a ornamental grass exchange

Once our gardens thaw, would anyone would be interested in
an ornamental grass exchange. I have 5-10 perennial ornamental grasses. I would organize it,you would send me a few slips of what you had and I would send a variety back to you. Because you only need a small rhizome of grasses to get them going -you could probably get 5-10 new varieties for $1.15 postage and the larger bubble envelope. Let me know if your interested.
