I'm not overly impressed with this colour on me and I'm not keen on the satin finish either, I prefer a matte finish. I feel the colour washes me out but having said that I am looking forward to trying it with a tan as I think it will look more flattering. I think it would suit darker skin tones/complexions more than pale ones. I do like the fact that the money from the sale of the Viva Glam lipsticks (less the VAT) goes to a HIV and Aids charity, so I am donating to a charity when I'm treating myself to a new lipstick! I have Viva Glam I and I'm tempted to buy Viva Glam III or Viva Glam VI next as I think they will suit me more.

This lipstick is sooo gorgeous, I was looking for a nude lipstick that wouldn't make me look washed out and wanted it to be a little bit mauvish. I had always been on a hunt for that perfect nude lipstick for me and finally I found it!!. There's really just a drop of a pink and mauve colour to it but looks so pretty.
I consider this one an ultimate nude lipstick for me. Doesn't matter if I'm pale or tanned at the moment this colour always look great on me. Goes beautifly with a very natural everyday makeup as well as more dramatic smokey eyes look.
The fact that they're going to discontinue this one really bothers me I should probably start to look for the replacement very soon.

I wanted a mauve ish MLBB colour, and the artist that helped me suggested this one. I have to agree with the other NC 30 girls. In the store lighting it looked like VG II added that mauve with a hint of pink colour to my lips. When I got home, it looked way too gray against my skin tone. It looks better in the sunlight because the slight pink shows, but it still looks rather gray.
Staying power is good though. I didn't find it too be overly drying, but I definitely recommend a lip balm or primer underneath. I tried it as a cream blush, and that was ok so I will probably use it up that way. Really sad cause this was my first mac lipstick!

I love this lipstick so much that I bought two at a time! I'm so nervous that they will discontinue this shade, so I have to stock up. This is my perfect nude. I have tan deep tan skin with pink undertones and this lipstick gives my face such a clean, natural look. One of my must haves!

I have pale skin and very vibrant copper hair so I sometimes struggle to find lipsticks that suit my hair colour and don't clash. Viva Glam II is gorgeous!!! It's my absolute favourite everyday colour. On me it's a cement nude with a hint of pink in it. The satin finish is my favourite mac finish. I love that they are completely opaque and look matte without feeling matte. Viva glam II lasts about 8 hours on me and I can eat and drink and it will still stay on. It wears off evenly and leaves a rose griege stain behind. I love this lipstick so so sooo much and 100% will be buying this again when my current one runs out!!

The lipstick formula is great, it's a satin which is one of my fave formulas. I hate how the other viva glams are more glossy and sheer.
For the color... I don't really like it honestly.
For reference I'm an NC30/C30
I'm quite yellow-olive
I'm warmtoned but not the golden/peachy warm tone.
I'm just yellow with a slight green cast.
I thought I'd like this color more than Faux (which looked too mauve on me)
Compared to faux it looked as though it didn't have that mauve in it so I went ahead and got Viva Glam II.
I wore it a few times but the color looks well... Gray on me.
It's a nude color with a slight amount of pink but it just looks a very grey sort of nude. I don't like it.
It's definitely a neutral sort of nude.
I've always had problems with neutral toned makeup cause they'd always look grey on me or just too... Dark but still has that grey tone(powders that just come in light, medium, dark etc)
If you're more neutral or cool toned I'm sure it'll look better. I'm pretty sure other warmtoned people may like it but for me, not so much.

I bought this on a whim as an everyday neutral because MAC was out of Brave. It's a decent color for me, but I've found the formula to be quite drying.

UPDATE: I broke down & got this & wow am I glad I did. Yes, on me it pulls a bit brown...but I love what it doesn't do. It isn't too peach, too muting (concealer lips), or too undead. It just gives you a great toned down pout. It works when I want the look of nude lips but nothing else is looking right. And this lipstick pairs heavenly with Pink Cult blush for soft (especially fall time) perfection.
ORIGINAL: VGII surprised me. I assumed it would be awful and when I tried it on in store, I thought "yup, it's awful". But I kept it on since I was just going back to the car. Once in the parking lot I saw this in daylight and...it wasn't that awful. I was seeing the nude beige with slight mauve tone people mentioned. While in store it just looked like a taupe on my lip. I am Nw20, deep soft winter, almost black hair, brown eyes, mauvey/rosey lips.
Everyone has described the color very well, it is a brown, beige, gray, mauve toned (taupe with mauve undertone)...coming off a bit 90's. it is neutral enough (with/out noticeable shimmer or frost) to be made modern, but for all of us that were there in 90's...there is no way an episode of "Friends" won't flow through your head once you put it on. I would like to have this in my collection to play with, but I don't think I would actually wear this enough to go out and buy it.

Hey Jaana, your style really does compliment your ambition to be a cover illustrator. I think pieces 4,5 and 6 are your strongest pieces by far, they seem to have just that little more polish. I like the 3rd piece but id like to see the more a-symmetry and movement in the figure. but i suppose the piece is about calmness so it might be for the best. maybe if the character was rotated into space more. anyway that's a novices opinion, keep it up.
P.S - the sub surface scattering and skin treatment in 4 are just beautiful, bravo!

Barcelona to bid for 2022 Olympics
BARCELONA, Spain (AP)
Less than one day after Madrid lost in its bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, Barcelona Mayor Xavier Trias said that the city is prepared to present a bid for the 2022 Winter Games.
"We have the dossier ready," Trias told Catalan television Sunday. "We need to speak with the Spanish Olympic Committee to see if they are ready to go forward with this venture."
ON THE SCENESkier Lindsey Vonn is airlifted off the slopes after a super-G crash in February 2013. See photos.
Madrid failed in its third straight try to win the right to host the Summer Games on Saturday when the International Olympic Committee chose Tokyo over the Spanish capital and Istanbul.
Barcelona is planning to present a "Barcelona-Pyrenees" bid with the nearby mountains as an alpine venue. Barcelona's previous mayor, Jordi Hereu, announced plans to bid for the 2022 Games in 2010, before Madrid announced its most recent bid for the Summer Games.
Trias had said earlier this year that he would launch Barcelona's winter bid if Madrid lost. He had also given his public support to Madrid in its attempt to host the world's largest sporting event.
Barcelona held the 1992 Summer Games and used the event to remodel the city's sea front and invest heavily in transportation and other improvements. Thanks to the success of the Games, Barcelona was transformed from a postindustrial town into one of Europe's leading tourist destinations.
Barcelona's plan for a bid received the backing of the regional Catalan government.
"The Catalan government will be fully behind the bid if it ends up being formalized," said Santi Vila, Catalonia's head of sustainability and territorial policy.
Vila said that Barcelona was capable of hosting the event despite having similar economic problems that hurt Madrid's chances.
"We already have a large part of the infrastructures in place," said Vila. "And we have the experience of Barcelona hosting the world swimming championships this summer that showed you don't have to spend a lot of money. The transport connection between Barcelona and Puigcerda (in the Pyrenees) needs to be improved and this would provide the sense of urgency to do so."

1793 Wilkinson Map of Lower Saxony, Germany
Description: A finely detailed 1793 map of Lower Saxony in what is now north central Germany, by Robert Wilkinson. As shown here, Lower Saxony was bordered by Denmark and the Baltic Sea to the north, Westphalia to the west, Pomerania to the Northeast, and the Circle of Upper Saxony to the south and west. The map offers extraordinary detail, noting numerous towns, cities, rivers, forests, mountains and other topographical features.
Lower Saxony was one of the 'imperial circles' created by the Holy Roman Empire in the 1500s. Groupings of regional territories were designed for defensive, tax, and administrative purposes within the Empire. The Napoleonic Wars would, of course, dissolve the Holy Roman Empire and lead to the consolidation of Germany in 1871. During the French Revolutionary Wars, the Hanoverian Duke and British King George III allied with the Prussians against Napoleon, which nonetheless did not prevent the French ruler from briefly invading and occupying the territory.
An attractive and historically important map for both collectors and researchers, 'The Circle of Lower Saxony' is a great companion map to Wilkinson's 'Germany,' 'The Circle of Upper Saxony,' and 'The Circle of Westphalia,' all from the same atlas. This map was engraved by Thomas Conder and issued as plate no. 17 in the 1792 edition of Robert Wilkinson�s General Atlas.
Date: 1793 (dated)
Source: Wilkinson, R., A General Atlas being A Collection of Maps of the World and Quarters the Principal Empires, Kingdoms, etc. with their several Provinces, and other Subdivisions, Correctly Delineated, (London) 1792.
References: Rumsey 1201.019 (1794 edition).
Cartographer: Robert Wilkinson (fl. c. 1768 - 1825) was a London based map and atlas publisher active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most of Wilkinson's maps were derived from the earlier work of John Bowles, one of the preeminent English map publishers of the 18th century. Wilkinson's acquired the Bowles map plate library following the cartographer's death in 1779. Wilkinson updated and tooled the Bowles plates over several years until, in 1794, he issued his fully original atlas, The General Atlas of the World. This popular atlas was profitably reissued in numerous editions until about 1825 when Wilkinson died. In the course of his nearly 45 years in the map trade, Wilkinson issued also published numerous independently issued large format wall, case, and folding maps. Wilkinson's core cartographic corpus includes Bowen and Kitchin's Large English Atlas (1785), Speer's West Indies (1796), Atlas Classica (1797), and the General Atlas of the World (1794, 1802, and 1809), as well as independent issue maps of New Holland (1820), and North America ( 1823). Wilkinson's offices were based at no. 58 Cornhill, London form 1792 to 1816, following which he relocated to 125 Frenchurch Street, also in London, where he remained until 1823. Following his 1825 death, Wilkinson's business and map plates were acquired by William Darton, an innovative map publisher who reissued the General Atlas with his own imprint well into the 19th century. Click here for a list of rare maps by Robert Wilkinson.
Cartographer: Thomas Conder (1747 - June 1831) was an English map engraver and bookseller active in London during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. From his shop at 30 Bucklersbury, London, Conder produced a large corpus of maps and charts, usually in conjunction with other publishers of his day, including Wilkinson, Moore, Kitchin, and Walpole. Unfortunately few biographical facts regarding Conder's life have survived. Thomas Conder was succeeded by his son Josiah Conder who, despite being severely blinded by smallpox, followed in his father's footsteps as a bookseller and author of some renown.

WNYC's Bob Hennelly is an award-winning investigative journalist. While at WNYC he has reported on a wide gamut of major public policy questions ranging from immigration and homeland security to power outages and utility mergers.
New York, NY —
New York City's Parks Department may have to close pools and shorten the season, even as tough times increase the demand for access. WNYC's Bob Hennelly has more.
REPORTER: The Parks Department must find $40 million in cuts for the budget year that starts July 1st. High on the list of possible rollbacks... closing four of the City's 63 public pools and shortening the pool season by two weeks. Life Guard Coordinator Javier Rodriquez says that's when New Yorkers need pools most.
RODRIGUEZ: The community's going to be effected because generally during the last two weeks of the summer have been very hot over the last several years and the community needs or has to have a place to go to to cool off, especially the young people.
REPORTER: City Parks budget pressures come on the heels of major cutbacks planned for the state's parks and beach facilities this summer. Albany has targeted closing 41 parks, including Baywater Point State Park in Queens and Riverbank State Park along the Hudson in West Harlem.

Gaussian Blur using OpenCL and the built-in Images/Textures
The source code can be download from by GitHub page.
How Gaussian blurring works
Blurring is to smooth an image as shown in the top of this post. In practice, this is done by discrete convolution of the image and a mask. Gaussian blurring entails using an approximation of the Gaussian distribution as the convolution mask. Discrete convolution performs the same set of instructions on each pixel and is thus ideal for execution on a GPU. Each pixel gets a new value that is a weighted average of its closest neighbors. Mathematically, convolution of an image I, and a Gaussian mask G, with a specific \(\sigma\), can be expressed as:\((I * G_\sigma)(\vec v) = \frac{1}{Z} \sum^N_{a=-N} \sum^N_{b=-N} I(\vec v+(a,b)) e^{-\frac{a^2+b^2}{2\sigma^2}}\)
where Z is a normalization constant equal to the sum of the mask.
OpenCL – Images and Textures
Most modern GPUs have a separate texture cache. These texture caches exists on GPUs because a lot of video games and 3D applications use texture mapping to map an image to 3D objects to create a realistic 3D scene. Textures are simply images, either 1, 2 or 3 dimensional. When a specific pixel in the texture is requested, the GPU will store the data and the neighboring data in a special buffer that is close to where the actual calculations are performed. Unlike regular linear storage buffers which only have caching in one dimension, textures can cache neighboring data in 2 or 3 dimensions. Thus, when a pixel is requested, the neighboring pixels above and below as well as those to the left and right are cached.
Note that writing to a 3D texture from inside a kernel is not supported in OpenCL by default. It is enabled through an extension called cl_khr_3d_image_writes. AMD supports this extension, while NVIDIA does not.
Caching is one of the main features of textures, but other nice features are:
- Interpolation – Request a point in the image and get the linear approximation of that point using the closest neighboring pixels (enabled with CLK_FILTER_LINEAR flag in sampler)
- Data type conversion – The texture fetch units on the GPU can convert between different data types. Used with the suffixes of the read_image and write_image functions (f for float, i for integer and ui for unsigned integer).
- Normalized data types – These data types (CL_SNORM_INT8, CL_UNORM_INT8, CL_SNORM_INT16, CL_UNORM_INT16) can reduce the amount of memory used and transferred and may give you large speedups. Use them if you are using floats with a normalized range (0.0-1.0, -1.0-1.0) and accuracy is not that important. These data types store floats as a 16 or 8 bit integer in the texture and the texture fetch unit converts it to a float with a normalized range when requested.
- Out of bounds handling – Reading outside a texture will not create a seg fault. Instead, you can define what should be returned by the read_image function in the sampler (CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP, CLK_ADDRESS_NONE..).
- Channels – Each pixel in a texture can contain 1 to 4 channels. If you want to pack several values in each pixel this can be very useful. Defined in the creation of the image. ImageFormat(CL_RGBA, CL_FLOAT) is for instance a 4 channel (RGBA: red, green, blue, alpha) image of floats.
The code
OpenCL Kernel Code
Below is the OpenCL code for the Gaussian blur kernel. The functions write_image{f|i|ui} are used to write to an image in a kernel and read_image{f|i|ui} to read. Note that the read_image functions will always return a vector of size 4 and since we only use one channel in this application we retrieve the first component (.x) read_imagef(..).x
Another thing to note, is that you can only read OR write to a an image in an kernel. You can't read and write to the same image. If you want to use images in several kernel calls after another I suggest using a dual buffering approach.
When reading images you have to define a sampler which you can see in the first line in the code below. Normalized coordinates enables accessing the image using normalized floating point coordinates (0.0 to 1.0). CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE means that if a pixel outside the image is requested, it will use the pixel value that is closest to the edge. The last flag CLK_FILTER_NEAREST instructs the fetch unit to fetch the pixel that is closest to the coordinate. The alternative is CLK_FILTER_LINEAR which fetches a linear approximation of the 4(2D) or 8(3D) closest pixels. For more info on samplers, see the specification.
__constant sampler_t sampler = CLK_NORMALIZED_COORDS_FALSE | CLK_ADDRESS_CLAMP_TO_EDGE | CLK_FILTER_NEAREST; __kernel void gaussian_blur( __read_only image2d_t image, __constant float * mask, __global float * blurredImage, __private int maskSize ) { const int2 pos = {get_global_id(0), get_global_id(1)}; // Collect neighbor values and multiply with Gaussian float sum = 0.0f; for(int a = -maskSize; a < maskSize+1; a++) { for(int b = -maskSize; b < maskSize+1; b++) { sum += mask[a+maskSize+(b+maskSize)*(maskSize*2+1)] *read_imagef(image, sampler, pos + (int2)(a,b)).x; } } blurredImage[pos.x+pos.y*get_global_size(0)] = sum; }
Host Code
The host code is written in C++ and depends on two small libraries (SIPL and OpenCLUtilities). The function createBlurMask creates a Gaussian blur mask with a specific sigma. The mask size N, is calculated from the sigma. Larger sigma gives a larger mask size. The memory flag CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR orders OpenCL to copy the contents of the last argument pointer to the the device. Each image is created with a specific image format using the ImageFormat class. The first argument is the channel format and the second is the data type. A list of all channel formats and data types can be found here. The rest should be self-explanatory.
#include "SIPL/Core.hpp" #include "OpenCLUtilities/openCLUtilities.hpp" using namespace cl; float * createBlurMask(float sigma, int * maskSizePointer) { int maskSize = (int)ceil(3.0f*sigma); float * mask = new float[(maskSize*2+1)*(maskSize*2+1)]; float sum = 0.0f; for(int a = -maskSize; a < maskSize+1; a++) { for(int b = -maskSize; b < maskSize+1; b++) { float temp = exp(-((float)(a*a+b*b) / (2*sigma*sigma))); sum += temp; mask[a+maskSize+(b+maskSize)*(maskSize*2+1)] = temp; } } // Normalize the mask for(int i = 0; i < (maskSize*2+1)*(maskSize*2+1); i++) mask[i] = mask[i] / sum; *maskSizePointer = maskSize; return mask; } int main(int argc, char ** argv) { // Load image SIPL::Image<float> * image = new SIPL::Image<float>("images/sunset.jpg"); // Create OpenCL context Context context = createCLContextFromArguments(argc, argv); // Compile OpenCL code Program program = buildProgramFromSource(context, "gaussian_blur.cl"); // Select device and create a command queue for it VECTOR_CLASS<Device> devices = context.getInfo<CL_CONTEXT_DEVICES>(); CommandQueue queue = CommandQueue(context, devices[0]); // Create an OpenCL Image / texture and transfer data to the device Image2D clImage = Image2D(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY | CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, ImageFormat(CL_R, CL_FLOAT), image->getWidth(), image->getHeight(), 0, (void*)image->getData()); // Create a buffer for the result Buffer clResult = Buffer(context, CL_MEM_WRITE_ONLY, sizeof(float)*image->getWidth()*image->getHeight()); // Create Gaussian mask int maskSize; float * mask = createBlurMask(10.0f, &maskSize); // Create buffer for mask and transfer it to the device Buffer clMask = Buffer(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY | CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, sizeof(float)*(maskSize*2+1)*(maskSize*2+1), mask); // Run Gaussian kernel Kernel gaussianBlur = Kernel(program, "gaussian_blur"); gaussianBlur.setArg(0, clImage); gaussianBlur.setArg(1, clMask); gaussianBlur.setArg(2, clResult); gaussianBlur.setArg(3, maskSize); queue.enqueueNDRangeKernel( gaussianBlur, NullRange, NDRange(image->getWidth(), image->getHeight()), NullRange ); // Transfer image back to host float* data = new float[image->getWidth()*image->getHeight()]; queue.enqueueReadBuffer(clResult, CL_TRUE, 0, sizeof(float)*image->getWidth()*image->getHeight(), data); image->setData(data); // Save image to disk and display it image->save("images/result.jpg", "jpeg"); image->display(); }
Download and run the example
Download the source code at http://github.com/smistad/OpenCL-Gaussian-Blur or clone it using git (Note that the example uses two small submodules: SIPL and OpenCLUtilities. The two git submodule commands below downloads these as well):
# Download git clone git://github.com/smistad/OpenCL-Gaussian-Blur.git cd OpenCL-Gaussian-Blur git submodule init git submodule update # Compile and run (use ./blur --device cpu/gpu to run on different devices) cmake CMakeLists.txt make ./blur --device gpu

The summation in the for loops is the convolution as described with the equation on the top of this page. Every element in the mask is multiplied with pixels in a neighborhood in the image (read_imagef). a and b are the neighborhood offset for the x and y direction. In the end, the sum is assigned to the new (blurred) image.
You can read more about this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28image_processing%29
Is the image object created with line below of type cl_mem?
SIPL::Image * image = new SIPL::Image("images/lena.jpg");
I would like to write the same piece of code in C and use clCreateImage2D function. But I am not sure how to create a reference to the file "lena.jpg" in C., i.e. how to create the same image object as described above using C.
That line reads the image from disk.
This line creates an OpenCL image (cl_mem) and transfers the image to the device:
Image2D clImage = Image2D(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY | CL_MEM_COPY_HOST_PTR, ImageFormat(CL_R, CL_FLOAT), image->getWidth(), image->getHeight(), 0, image->getData());
Thus, first you need a way to read the image from disk. Then get the pixel data as an array and finally you can put the data in an OpenCL memory object.
It's okay. Thanks.
Now I have another problem,
Context context = createCLContextFromArguments(argc, argv);
I can't create correct context of correct device.
Because I don't understand this form at all, I only can use
context = clCreateContext(0,1,&devices,NULL,NULL,&err);
Can you help me to solve this problem?
It is same as mine version ( I use windows 8 64 bit) ,and the install instruction I have read.
I have a question that what content of CMakeLists.txt I need to type,
So I google for other's answer to type this file,it still have the problem of
Error: missing binary operator before token "("
You have no solution to this,too? Or maybe I loss some important files?
For windows I use this: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.24/gtk+-bundle_2.24.10-20120208_win32.zip
And for linux/ubuntu I use this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libgtk2.0-dev
You can find install instructions here: http://www.thebigblob.com/simple-image-processing-library/#installation
I have experienced the same thing on OSX. Not sure what the reason is, but I think it is a bug from Apple's side. I haven't experienced that it is an issue. However, if you have __NO_STD_VECTORS defined, it will not work on other platforms. So for cross-platform compatibility you can use the macro VECTOR_CLASS like this:
devices = context.getInfo ();
Just putting this here in case anyone stumbles upon it. I was having issues with creating the Image2d on the device. I'm not sure why, but using the deprecated function clCreateImage2d, rather than using the constructor (which calls the newer clCreateImage) works for me. It may be because my device only supports an older version of OpenCL, but I'm not sure.
In OpenCL 1.2 they have replaced the clCreateImage2D and clCreateImage3D with one function clCreateImage. However, the cl.hpp file doesn't seem to have been updated yet:\
From: http://www.khronos.org/registry/cl/
"cl.hpp – OpenCL 1.1 C++ Bindings Header File, implementing the C++ Bindings Specification. This header works for all versions of OpenCL, but has not yet been updated with new OpenCL 1.2 entry points. "
I did not know Apple had implemented 1.2. Which version of OSX are you using?
AMD has 1.2, and they have a workaround for this problem "#define CL_USE_DEPRECATED_1_1_APIS"
As it states in the text above, textures on GPUs are optimized for 2D(and 3D) spatial cache locality. Thus, using textures (called images in OpenCL) can increase the cache hit ratio which will speed up memory access.
I think images are easier to use and have less restrictions than buffers. For instance reading outside a buffer gives undefined results while with images you can define the outcome yourself and thus won't have to check if the address is out of bounds.
Another thing you don't have to do with images is address translations. If you have x and y coordinate you can just insert that directly to the function. You don't have to do x+y*width to calculate a linear address.
Thank you. The project gave me very strange compile errors like this:
/usr/include/CL/cl.hpp: In function 'cl_int cl::UnloadCompiler()':
/usr/include/CL/cl.hpp:1606:12: error: '::clUnloadCompiler' has not been declared
I do not post full log because it seems that this is known problem with OpenCL:
So, according to recommendation from Khronos forum, I added:
#define CL_USE_DEPRECATED_OPENCL_1_1_APIS
…to OpenCLUtilities/openCLUtilities.hpp and now everything compiles perfectly. But when I try to run it, it fails with "Error: images/lena.jpg not found". So I fixed this by running:
mkdir images; cd images; wget http://myopencv.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/lena.jpg; cd ..
And now when I try to run "./blur –device gpu" I get:
Using platform vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
..and then the program hangs (if I just run ./blur the result is the same). I have NVidia GTX 295 and gcc 4.7.1 in case it matters. All I discovered so far that for some reason it hangs after saving the image. So, I get result.jpg, but the program cannot exit gracefully. Since I wanted to write my own image processing program based on your example with your library, I really need to solve this problem, but so far I could not find out why this happens.
This bug reproducible for me even with 1×1 JPG but if I set breakpoint at image->save() call in main.cpp, run it and press "step" few times, the bug does not happen, the program completes successfully. I'm not sure how to debug something not reproducible in gdb. Here are few last lines after running ltrace ./blur:
clReleaseProgram(0xc00d90, 0, 0xc01190, 134464, 0x7f0c43e7b420) = 0
clReleaseContext(0xa2a6d0, 0, 0xc10c70, 134464, 0x7f0c43e7b420) = 0
g_thread_join(0x9c4800, 0, 0x7f0c490ad490, 0x7f0c490ad490, 0x7f0c43e7b420
After this it just hangs with 0% CPU usage. But, as I have said, if I slowly step with gdb, this does not happen and it exits normally.
Since you wrote SIPL library, perhaps you have any idea what might be the cause of this issue? If not, then perhaps you can give some clue how to debug this?
Thanks for the bug report! This was a bug with the library that I fixed a while ago, but this project did not have an updated version of SIPL. It should be fixed now.
You can probably use a "git pull origin master" in the SIPL folder to update the SIPL library yourself. Or you can do the entire "Download and run the example" code from the post.

I think he is half right. Of course as a rebuilding team, we are never going to be favorites to get to the play offs, but that point he makes about the team counting of Davis to be our best player. What about Gordon? I mean it is not impossible (very unlikely) that we could have both the MVP in Gordon and the ROTY in Davis. (just for the record, I think Davis has a much greater chance to be ROTY than Grordon of being MVP, but it is not impossible)
yea i agree, Gordon would have to completely Break Out and stay healthy to do that
I don't think many teams have had both in the same season.
This team will be counting on Gordon and Anderson. Monty and Dell have said repeatedly, and correctly, they will not be counting on rookies for the team's success. The only type of rookies you could do that with are players like Kobe, Durant and Lebron, which this draft did not have.
yah CP almost carried us to the playoffs his rookie year. West and Chandler were struggling players before him and he transformed them into allstar calibre players
We have to go by the league definition of NBA rookie to be fair to everyone.
And he definitely belongs in the same group as Melo. Lebron, well, nobody really belongs in lebron's class at this point.
Lbj didn't get his team to the playoffs his rookie year either...so melo is the only one by y'all standard? Anthony Davis ceiling is as high as melo, cp3, or blake griffin...but it's hard to mention anyone with lbj
Only reason he's not mentioned in the same class as LBJ because you can't seperate him from his athleticism and people are too concerned about Davis's weight and lack of offensive polish...even though he's got WAY more offensive skill than Griffin's punk, floppin' self.
Can't wait to see what we do this year.
^ pretty much
With LeBron and Melo, you can tell they would still be productive if/when injured. Griffin... not so much.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2
Well, I didn't mean to kick off a Griffin love-fest here, lol.
My expectations of AD his first season are pretty high actually.
Maybe 18 pts, 12 Rebs and 2-3 blocks. I expect his defense to be somewhere between KG and Bill Russell. RotY. A top 10 nominee for DpoY. Should be an all-star sub. That's about it.

An irreparable loss
The demise of K. Srinivasagam, DSP, Vigilance and Anti-Corruption, Madurai, is an irreparable loss not only to his family but to all those who work for a corruption-free society. The movement for combating corruption in Madurai has had a loss in his untimely death. He was fighting corruption sans any ill will towards those who are corrupt. The farewell given to him through loud and uncontrollable cry of men (relatives and friends) was a tribute to him for his yeoman service. A person like him can never die. He is not dead; he is only sown. Hope his illustrious example is emulated and his dream of a clean society emerges sooner or later.

High mast lamps
At a time when the Corporation has decided to change the entrance of the Mattuthavani Bus Stand because of many accidents, I would say that the present entrance and exit points at the bus stand do not have enough illumination between the entrance and the exit.
If the Corporation authorities are really interested in reducing the number of accidents, they can provide high mast lamps after verifying a spot.
C.A. Pradeep,
Extra percentage
Leading non-banking finance companies in Tamil Nadu offer in general 6 and 6.5 per cent interest on term deposits of one year and two years respectively.
They do not give additional percentage to senior citizens.
Given that the interest rates have been on the decline over the years, income from these deposits has become insignificant after adjusting for inflation. Therefore, senior citizens find the present situation demanding. It is hoped NBFCs too will follow in the footsteps of some commercial banks in private sector, which now pay interest at 7 per cent to senior citizens.
V. Krishnamoorthy,

Brilliance Teams Up With Engadget to Offer Blinged Out Samsung Galaxy Gear Giveaway
Wearable tech may be the wave of the future, but Brilliance takes it to a new level by adding style, class and, of course, diamonds to a growing number of wearable tech items.
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., March 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — With the growing industry of wearable tech, Brilliance.com has trained its Master Jewelers to add bling, in the form of diamonds and gemstones, to a series of wearable tech items. Starting with the Jawbone and Samsung Galaxy Gear, Brilliance has more on the way. The thought first came from the COO of Brilliance, Jonathon Ohayon, who wondered "if wearable tech is truly the future of technology, why not give people the ability to personalize". Which addresses the value of the service Brilliance offers: in an age where everyone will have the newest technology, giving the customer the chance to make it unique for them will be key. To launch our campaign, we sponsored a giveaway with Engadget for the most technologically interested and up-to-date.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140326/MN90548)
Brilliance has seen significant interest in these products. Currently offered as a custom order, Brilliance will be launching a dedicated page of diamond-encrusted wearable tech for the fashionable, yet tech-savvy, consumer. From the beginning, Brilliance has approached this project as a way to offer a unique version of very popular technology. Customers can choose different gems and diamonds to adorn the fully-functional wearable tech. How did this come about? About a year ago Brilliance designers photoshopped diamonds on the Jawbone to measure consumer interest. In a brave move, they offered a product they were not 100% sure how they would execute. When the orders came in, the Master Jewelers started testing (even destroying) the first few versions of the tech. But, after many attempts and deft craftsmanship, our Master Jewelers began their training as experts in encrusting wearable tech. The difficulty comes from the drilling process – drill too deep and you ruin the watch; drill too shallow and the diamonds can fall out.
Brilliance has been innovative since opening its doors in 1989. After years in the wholesale diamond business, the leadership transitioned the company to online only and Brilliance has been an industry leader since. Constantly changing and evolving to the markets needs, Brilliance utilizes the latest technology in the designing of our jewelry and the products we offer.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Customer Reviews
Unexciting, non-descriptive title for a wonderful app.
I hope this excellent and very affordable app doesn't go unnoticed because of its title. This CopyLess app actually has me copying MORE, because it is so easy to use for copying almost anything. Just bring up the list and scroll to whatever you want to paste. You can copy formatted text and paste it as-is, or convert it to plain text first. Copy an image and it shows up in the list with the copied image as an icon. You can designate copied items as "favorites" for easy pasting one after the other. And there are more "bells and whistles". I tried the 30-day free version for a couple of days and went for the $4.99. Can't beat the price for something I now use many times a day, every day. AND… I sent a question to support and got a very nice response a few minutes later… on a Saturday night!!
Best in class
Such a great, simple clipboard utility. For years I used another clipboard util, but that had long gone unsupported and wasn't working so well anymore, so after trying out a few different alternatives, I decided I like CopyLess the best. I tried CopyLess Lite first for a few weeks, then decided the upgrade is well worth it for something I use all day every day. I rarely buy utilities, instead usually opting for freeware alternatives. I only buy when it's something very useful and special, and comes at a fair price: CopyLess is definitely that. You won't regret it. Thanks for this great app!
Head and Shoulders Better than Any Cloipboard Program

The Roundabout Theatre Company production of the musical Bye Bye Birdie, the first-ever Broadway revival of this regional and amateur theater mainstay, is closing at the newly refurbished Henry Miller's Theatre today. Starring John Stamos (Full House on TV, Cabaret on Broadway), Gina Gershon, and Bill Irwin, Bye Bye Birdie was disliked by the critics but managed to do good enough ticket sales early in the run to merit an extension. Initially, the production was selling tickets through to April, but, presumably due to low ticket sales or to a failure to get suitable replacements for Stamos and Gershon when their contracts expired, Roundabout moved up the show's closing date to January 24. The Dame Edna/Michael Feinstein show All About Me will take up residence at the Henry Miller's Theatre following Birdie's departure.

Federal Funds Boost Tulsa's Ability to Respond to Disaster
A special program provides federal funding to cities to prevent, respond to, and recover from disasters…both natural and manmade. Kim Edd Carter, Director of the Oklahoma Office of Homeland Security, says the funds were used mostly to buy specialized equipment to help deal with disaster, everything from a terrorist act to tornadoes to wildfires.
Tulsa and nearby communities received almost three and a half million dollars under the Urban Area Security Initiative.

Warner, Kirk propose $50 liability cap for debit

Warner, Kirk propose $50 liability cap for debit
Mark Warner
April 4, 2014 – A bill introduced by Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Mark Kirk, R-Ill., would reduce a consumer's personal liability for fraudulent charges on a debit card from $500 to $50 and give financial institutions less time to re-credit an account following a disputed transaction.
Warner and Kirk led a Senate Banking subcommittee hearing in February that focused on the Target breach and highlighted the disparity in consumer protections for credit cards vs. debit cards. The proposed reduction in personal liability on fraudulent transactions – from $500 to $50 – would make debit card protections equal to credit card protections in that respect.
In announcing S. 2200
, the "Consumer Debit Card Protection Act of 2014," the senators pointed to Fed data showing there were 47 billion debit card transactions in 2012, nearly double the 26 billion in credit card transactions that year.
Consumer protections are set under the Truth in Lending Act for credit cards and under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act for debit cards.
Besides reducing consumer liability, S. 2200 would shorten the time to re-credit a consumer's account following a disputed debit card transaction. That time would decrease from 10 business days after the financial institution receives notice of the dispute to seven business days.
S. 2200 awaits action of the Senate Banking Committee. NAFCU is monitoring the bill.

The Life of P. T. Barnum, Written by Himself
In this first reprinting in paperback of Barnum's "original" biography, it will be easy to understand how he was able to create the "Greatest Show on Earth," a show as outrageous and entertaining as Barnum himself
For more than fifty years, Phineas T. Barnum embodied all that was grand and fraudulent in American mass culture. Over the course of a life that spanned the nineteenth century (1810-91), he inflicted himself upon a surprisingly willing public in a variety of guises, from newspaper editor (or libeler) to traveling showman (or charlatan) and distinguished public benefactor (or shameless hypocrite).
Barnum deliberately cultivated his ambiguous public image through a lifelong advertising campaign, shrewdly exploiting the cultural and technological capabilities of the new publishing industry. While running his numerous shows and exhibitions, Barnum managed to publish newspaper articles, exposés of fraud (not his own), self-help tracts, and a series of best-selling autobiographies, each promising to give "the true history of my many adventures."
Updated editions of The Life of P. T. Barnum appeared regularly, allowing Barnum to keep up with demand and prune the narrative of details that might offend posterity. The present volume is the first modern edition of Barnum's original and outrageous autobiography, published in 1855 and unavailable for more than a century. Brazen, confessional, and immensely entertaining, it immortalizes the showman who hoodwinked customers into paying to hear the reminiscences of a woman presented as George Washington's 161-year-old nurse, the impresario who brought Jenny Lind to America and toured Europe with General Tom Thumb, and the grand entrepreneur of the American Museum of New York. Above all, it ensures that Barnum would be properly remembered . . . exactly as he created himself.

LSU-Alexandria seeks funding for drainage
LSU-Alexandria Chancellor David Manuel says heavy rains from Hurricane Isaac have exposed drainage problems on campus.
Manuel tells the Town Talk that a drainage collection system has been estimated to cost up to $5.4 million.
He canceled classes Friday because of the standing water across the campus.
The classes missed by students Friday were in addition to the classes missed when officials closed school Tuesday afternoon through Thursday because of Isaac.
Manuel said the drainage system that would collect and distribute water to a line that flows to the Chatelain Lake drainage canal a few miles east of campus.

With no other big films releasing this Friday, Abhinav Kashyap's "Besharam" has a clean week as far as competition goes. The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer is hitting theatres Oct 2.
The film will be a litmus test for both actor Ranbir after superhit "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and Kashyap post "Dabangg".
"Our expectations are huge. We have made a good film and have promoted it well," Kahsyap told IANS.
The film, produced by Himanshu Mehra, Sanjeev Gupta and Reliance Entertainment, had a shooting budget of Rs.60 crore plus the cost of promotions, marketing and advertising.
"We have locked about 3,600 screens in India and 700 screens overseas," said the director.
Whether the audience will accept Ranbir in deglam role or not, will only be revealed once the movie releases.
"It is a big film and there is no other film releasing in the same week. We have to wait and watch how it unfolds and whether the audience likes it or not," trade analyst Taran Adarsh told IANS.
"Besharam" also stars Ranbir's actor-parents Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh">Neetu Singh. Actress Pallavi Sharda, a newcomer who hails from Australia, plays the female lead in the film.

Haas Joins 500 Match Wins Club; Tipsarevic Wins Vienna Opener
Vienna, Austria
by ATP Staff|
Third seed Tommy Haas reached 500 match wins on Thursday in Vienna when he dismissed Jesse Levine 6-4, 6-2 in the second round of the Erste Bank Open.
Haas was presented a special Fiat 500 by tournament director Herwig Straka after becoming the 38th player in the Open Era to achieve the feat. He joins Roger Federer (871), Rafael Nadal (583) and Lleyton Hewitt (566) as the only active players to attain the milestone.
"I knew for a few days that I would reach the milestone if I won this match. This was a big goal of mine," said Haas. "In April, I was at around 472 wins and I knew it wouldn't be easy to win another 27 or 28 matches. It makes me really proud and for sure this is one of my biggest achievements after everything that happened. The fact that it happened here in Vienna makes it very special. Getting such a gift on top of it makes it an amazing day for me."

The 2001 champion Haas won 84 per cent of his first serve points and broke Levine three times to seal the victory in 80 minutes. The German improved to 3-0 against Levine with all their meetings coming on hard courts.
The 34-year-old Haas is aiming to lift his second trophy of the season, following his triumph over Federer on home soil at the Gerry Weber Open. He also finished runner-up at the ATP World Tour 500 events in Hamburg (l. to Monaco) and Washington (l. to Dolgopolov) and has a 31-15 season record.
"For now I'm focusing on next year," Haas said. "One of my goals for this year was to win my 13th title since 13 is my lucky number. Next year is 2013 and as long as I'm fit I want to play the whole year."
Haas will play qualifier Grega Zemlja next. The Slovenian beat Matthew Ebden 7-5, 6-4 in one hour and 44 minutes. Zemlja won 76 per cent of his second serve return points.
World No. 9 Janko Tipsarevic advanced to the quarter-finals, defeating wild card Ernests Gulbis 6-3, 6-4 to continue his push towards the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. The second-seeded Serbian capitalised on four of his six break points to move past the Latvian in 78 minutes. Tipsarevic is currently ninth in the South African Airways ATP Rankings Race To London. Only the Top 8 players at the end of the regular season earn a place to compete at the season finale.
Tipsarevic goes onto face Slovenia's Aljaz Bedene after the 23 year old fired 11 aces and broke serve four times from 18 opportunities to defeat American Donald Young 7-6(4), 6-7(2), 6-3. World No. 89 Bedene is through to his first ATP World Tour quarter-final.
Marinko Matosevic defeated Austrian wild card Dominic Thiem 6-3, 7-6(5) in one hour and 36 minutes to set a quarter-final clash with top seed Juan Martin del Potro. Elsewhere, Italy's Paolo Lorenzi followed up his first-round win over seventh seed Benoit Paire by advancing to the quarter-finals with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Canadian qualifier Vasek Pospisil.

An Iftar party at a Hindu temple might seem like an outlandish idea in the backdrop of communal riots, but on Monday evening Krishnapura, a small township 18km away from Mangalore, set an example for the rest of the state.
Administrators of Baikampadi Sri Sarala Dhoomavathi Daivasthana in Krishnapura and the youth wing of Jama'at e-Islami Hind came together to organise an unusual spread of brotherhood and peace.
Close to 300 Muslims accepted the invitation to offer prayers and break the Ramazan fast at Sarala Dhoomavathi Daivasthana. It was mainly restricted to slices of fruits and juice, but more than a sumptuous meal it was the spirit behind the gesture that caught attention.
Krishnapura has a history of communal tension between the two communities. In 1997, 17 people were killed in a riot and the region went into an unprecedented curfew of six days.
At the temple, Hindus and Muslims promised each other that they would strive towards establishing peace.
"This time the numbers are in hundreds. Next year it will increase to thousands," said a visibly emotional S Pramod Bhandari, president of the temple administration.
"Humanity, love and brotherhood are the core elements of every religion. If we are truly religious, we must bridge the gap between the followers of different religions," he added.
Muhammad Kunhi, manager of Shanthi Prakashana, called upon
the gathering to become the true followers of the original messages of the religion, which preaches mankind to live in harmony.
On the same occasion Kannada translations of Quran were distributed to the Hindu hosts.

Red Smith: Wohler has a knack for fine imports
Updated: November 6, 2008, 8:54 PM ETBy David Grening | Daily Racing Form
OZONE PARK, N.Y. -- The German-based trainer Andreas Wohler has done a pretty good job over the years selecting which of his horses would fit in North American stakes. Horses such as Silvano, Paolini, and Simonas have finished first or second in Grade 1 events in North America, with Silvano winning the 2001 Arlington Million.
Wohler is in New York this week to run Lauro in Saturday's Grade 2, $150,000 Red Smith Handicap at Aqueduct. Last month, in his second start off a 16-month layoff, ...

We should have both the Cookie Dough and Adventure Points out before the end of the month. Recognition items will be sent in early May to community product sales managers for distribution to troops.
The Buy 5 Packages Win 5 Cases promotion was a success. We had over 4300 entries!!! One winner was drawn per region. Congratulations to our winners!:

It's not too early to start thinking about putting together your Annual Troop Financial Report. An accurate accounting of troop funds is required every year. Complete and return this entire form, to your Troop Finance Consultant (TFC) or Service Unit Manager (SUM) or Treasurer (SUT) by June 15. (Please do a file, save as to your computer before entering information. This form will automatically calculate income, expenses, and final balance. Please enter expenses as negative numbers. You may print out and fill in the form if you prefer.) Attach the most recent troop bank statement and a copy of your checkbook register that corresponds to the dates of this report. The troop leader should keep all receipts and canceled checks on file for seven years. Make a copy of this report for your troop's records. Questions about the Annual Troop Financial Report? Contact your Product Sales and Finance Specialist.

March 22, the last day for girl credit, is fast approaching. Thank you to everyone who has helped girls to succeed in running their cookie business this season! We have several updates to help you through the next stage of the cookie sale.
COCOdirect packages were uploaded to Snap this week. Our girls have sold 2,306 online so far, which is exciting for a first year program. Congratulations girls! We will make sure that any additional packages sold online this weekend are credited to girls before the recognitions orders are placed next week.
Gluten Free Trios have also been transferred in Snap. Troops will notice that Trios are showing up as Cranberry Citrus Crisps. This will have the smallest impact on next year's orders. The key in distinguishing which are Trios is that they are being transferred from the Gluten Free Cupboard. Because Snap is not currently set up for two different price points, we are not able to increase the dollar amount for Trios so they are currently billing at the same price as the other cookies. Please note that we will add the extra dollar per Trios package and enter that as a Gluten Free Bank adjustment after the final ACH debit.
The last day for RETURNS is Tuesday, March 24.
· Troops may only return full unopened/unmarked cases (up to the number of girls selling in the troop) if the troop met the requirements of 120 packages per girl selling on the initial order (this can be done at your local cookie cupboard, also).
Not sure if your troop met this requirement? Go into ABC Snap > Reports > Troop Balance Summary (make sure to filter by packages)…look for the initial order line – this will tell you how many packages the troop had on the initial order – and divide it by the number of girls selling for the troop.
· This is a one time return per troop and has to be completed by Tuesday, March 24 (no exceptions).
· Remember, Exchanges may still be done if you have a full unopened/unmarked case of cookies for a different full unopened/unmarked case of cookies, as long as we have the varieties in stock.
March 25th: Troop Recognition Order due in SNAP. Remember to transfer packages to girls before creating the recognition order.
The second ACH debit will occur March 25. The amount being withdrawn will be 50% of the remaining balance owed. The final ACH debit will be April 8 for the remaining balance due. Troops having difficulty collecting money from families must fill out an Outstanding Money Report and notify the council at least seven days prior to the ACH date to have their debit amount adjusted. Outstanding Money Reports must be sent no later than April 3, 2015. Questions? Contact your Product Sales and Finance Specialist.
The Waite Park and Duluth Cookie Cupboards will be open the following for the rest of the cookie season:
Saturday, March 21 – 9:00am-12:00pm
Monday, March 23 – 8:30am-5:30pm
Tuesday, March 24 – 8:30am-5:30pm
Wednesday, March 25 - 8:30am- 5:30pm
After Wednesday, March 25, the cookies at the Waite Park and Duluth Cupboards will be moved to the Waite Park and Duluth Girl Scout Offices. Troops may still get cookies after March 25 as long as varieties are available.
Evaluations on this year's Cookie Sale, found in the back of your Answer Book(s), are due by April 15 at the Waite Park Regional Center. Please take the time to fill these out and return them. They are helpful in planning next year's sale!
Happy Cookie Season and Thank You again for all that you do!
