Not everyone may know this, but there are precious few innodb crash recovery tests available. Some folks have noticed this and asked for something to be done about it, but unfortunately, no tests have been created for the main MySQL branch. The MySQL at Facebook branch has a number of tests that are quite interesting. […]

dbqp and Xtrabackup testing
So I'm back from the Percona dev team's recent meeting. While there, we spent a fair bit of time discussing Xtrabackup development. One of our challenges is that as we add richer features to the tool, we need equivalent testing capabilities. However, it seems a constant in the MySQL world that available QA tools often […]
Keep your MySQL backend online no matter what + TGIF Contest!
On Oct. 25th I will be presenting my conference session "Keep your MySQL backend online no matter what" at the Percona Live London Conference. Considering their is a variety of highly knowledgeable MySQL experts speaking at this event I wanted to give my talk a special plug so you won't miss THIS knowledgeable MySQL expert […]
Testing the Group Commit Fix
As you may know, Kristian Nielsen made a fix for the Group Commit Problem which we many times wrote about. The fix came into MariaDB 5.3 and Mark Callaghan tested it recently . We ported this patch to Percona Server (it is not in the main branch yet), and here are the results of my […]
Sample datasets for benchmarking and testing
Sometimes you just need some data to test and stress things. But randomly generated data is awful — it doesn't have realistic distributions, and it isn't easy to understand whether your results are meaningful and correct. Real or quasi-real data is best. Whether you're looking for a couple of megabytes or many terabytes, the following […]
Testing MySQL column stores
Recently I had the opportunity to do some testing on a large data set against two MySQL column-store storage engines. I'd like to note that this effort was sponsored by Infobright, but this analysis reflects my independent testing from an objective viewpoint. I performed two different types of testing. The first focused on core functionality […]
Testing FusionIO: strict_sync is too strict…
With new updates of FusionIO drivers I was able to test it on our Dell R900 with Ubuntu 8.10 without pain of compiling drives myself and downgrading to older kernel, so I was decided to test it in strict_sync mode. As I understand FusionIO in default mode, like Intel SSD, is "lying" to application, and […]

It's not official yet, but sources tell us that the Mazda5 shown in Geneva will be coming to the U.S. later this year, possibly to make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Fundamentally, the peppy little front-wheel-drive mini-minivan hasn't changed much. It still has dual sliding rear doors, seating for six (three rows of two seats) and is available with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. What is new though, besides its Nagare "flow" design language, is a more efficient and powerful engine. There's a 1.8-liter for Europe, but the U.S. market will likely receive the 2.0-liter direct-injection variant that features i-stop. Few manufacturers have brought start-stop systems to the U.S. market; we hope Mazda joins that list. With its revised looks, and improved engine, the new Mazda5 is also said to benefit from revised suspension that has been tuned for a smoother ride. We like the current variation of the Mazda5 quite a lot, and have very high hopes for this one. Maybe Mazda will bring the all-wheel-drive version of the 5 to the U.S. this time around. It certainly would give all those folks in the Snow Belt states who are looking for a small and fuel-efficient people-hauler something to think about.

Syndergaard tosses gem and Mets rally late
LOS ANGELES -- The Mets still aren't scoring particularly often, but on Friday night, at least, they managed to score enough. Kevin Plawecki hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, lifting the Mets to a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers on a night that saw Noah Syndergaard hold one of the National League's best offenses to two hits in six innings.
The Mets never led until the ninth, when they parlayed a bloop double, an infield single and Plawecki's sacrifice fly into their second run. They still scored two or fewer runs for the 12th time in 14 games, but won for the fifth time during that stretch.

Lion Air's ambitious growth plans make the establishment of new bases increasingly important for its continued success.
The Indonesian low-cost carrier expects to carry up to 40 million passengers in 2013 and it needs new hubs to channel Lion's feed for major destinations to the north.
It is for this reason that getting Malindo Airways, its Malaysian joint venture with National Aerospace and Defence Industries, up and running has become a priority.
The need for a hub has resulted in Malindo's launch being pushed forward two months to March 2013, effectively delaying the launch of its premium arm Batik Air to the third quarter of 2013. Lion's order for five Boeing 787-8s, originally meant for Batik, will also go to Malindo when they are delivered in 2015.
"Malindo is more important because we need a hub more urgently. Batik is mostly a point-to-point domestic carrier, which can still be covered by Lion Air," says Lion president director Rusdi Kirana.
He adds that bases in Singapore, Malaysia or Bangkok would be capable of bringing Lion's increasingly wealthy Indonesian passengers to high demand northern destinations such as China, South Korea and Japan.
That is why even with Malindo, which will start operations with domestic and short-haul international services, on the way, the group is still keen on setting up hubs in Singapore and Bangkok.
Lion has initiated talks with Singapore authorities about its interest in setting up an airline in the city-state and stressed that its aim is not to take a slice of the Singapore market, but rather to build on the Indonesian traffic and offer its passengers more connecting options.
Rusdi says that any carrier Lion starts in Singapore would not be a low-cost carrier because this market is saturated.
"We have at least 35 million passengers next year and they need to go somewhere. So we need to get more hubs. The more hubs you have, the better it is for your passengers," says Kirana.
Ascend's head of consultancy in Asia, Paul Sheridan, agrees that Lion is moving in the right direction: "The main advantage of a hub is in facilitating connecting traffic and Lion Air will be able to offer a wider range of routes to their customers by using hubs."
He adds that hubs provide operational advantages by giving the airline a place to centralise crew and park aircraft, while also allowing them to take up a significant portion of flight schedules at the hubs and have a good marketing presence.
Afterall, Lion has 333 Boeing 737s, including 201 of the re-engined Max variant, and five 787s on order. These aircraft need homes. It is also in talks with Boeing for 10 more 787s and wants the airframer to speed up the delivery of its aircraft to meet the group's ambitious growth plans.
The challenge for Lion now is manage its three different airlines - Lion, Malindo and Batik - effectively.
"The opportunities for growth are very clear in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations [ASEAN] region generally but there are risks in having different business models across the three airlines," says Sheridan.

Casey McGehee Rumors
Chase Headley Rumors: Thursday
With the top free agent third baseman off the board, here's the latest on the next man up, Chase Headley:
- 7:32pm: While the Marlins are interested in free agent third baseman Chase Headley, they are not the source of the $65MM mystery offer. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald hears from multiple sources that no discussions are under way (Twitter link)
- 12:58pm: Other teams are being advised that Headley has a four-year offer in hand that would guarantee him $65MM, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports tweets. Needless to say, that would represent a very nice haul for the 30-year-old, who had a nice turnaround after being dealt to the Yankees in mid-season.
- The Marlins are very interested in Headley, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. However, if Headley does indeed have the offer referenced by Passan in hand, it doesn't appear to be from the Marlins, as Heyman notes that Miami "may be ready to make a significant offer." Acquiring Headley could prompt a shift of Casey McGehee to first base, where he could platoon with Garrett Jones (Jones could also be traded, I would think). Heyman and others have reported the Yankees' unwillingness to go beyond three years for Headley, so it's possible that a strong four-year offer from Miami could land his services, Heyman speculates.

Marlins Notes: Relievers, Johnson, McGehee
The Marlins sit 8.5 games off of the NL East pace entering today's action, with a 46-52 record and negative-26 run differential. But that mark beat the expectations of many, and the club seems inclined to continue to develop good will with its fans (if not also star outfielder Giancarlo Stanton) by fielding a competitive ballclub.
Here's the latest out of Miami, home to one of the more interesting organizations to watch over the coming days:
- Scouts are flocking to watch Marlins relievers Steve Cishek and Mike Dunn, reports MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, but thus far Miami has not indicated that it will make either available. In fact, the club still hopes to act as a buyer, says Frisaro, with a "controllable starter" and second baseman both in its sights.
- In fact, the Marlins are actually showing continued interest in acquiring struggling former Athletics closer Jim Johnson, reports Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. The teams have discussed a deal involving minor leaguer Adam Conley, a 2011 second-rounder who has scuffled in Triple-A.
- Another Marlins player that has drawn interest is reclaimed third baseman Casey McGehee, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. One club with potential interest is the Mariners, says Heyman, who seems to indicate that Seattle might even be willing to use McGehee in the corner outfield.
- While there may be interest in McGehee, Frisaro reports that the Fish see McGehee as a mid-term or even long-term piece and are not marketing him. The 31-year-old has a season of arbitration eligibility remaining after signing a one-year, $1.1MM deal with Miami, Frisaro notes, and the team has actually considered offering him an extension.

Marlins Sign Casey McGehee
The Marlins have been on the lookout for an answer to their hole at third base this offseason, and they filled that spot on the diamond today by officially announcing a one-year deal with Casey McGehee. McGehee, who spent last season playing in Japan, will reportedly earn a base salary of $1.1MM and has additional incentives in his deal contract. Back in October, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reported that McGehee was seeking a return to MLB.
The 31-year-old may not be the No. 1 target of big league clubs from the Rakuten Golden Eagles — that honor goes to his now-former teammate Masahiro Tanaka — but McGehee did hit .289/.371/.512 with 27 home runs in his first season there and got some attention from MLB scouts. McGehee is represented by Barry Meister, as shown in the MLBTR Agency Database. McGehee earned a guaranteed $1.5MM with the Golden Eagles last season, meaning he'll take a slight pay cut to return to the Major Leagues (although his incentives likely can carry him beyond that mark).
McGehee broke into the Majors in impression fashion with the Brewers, batting .291/.346/.477 with 39 homers in 273 games (1064 plate appearances). His production vanished over the next two years, though, as the former 10th-round pick batted just .221/.282/.351 over his next 952 plate appearances prior to his signing in Japan.
Last week, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported that Miami was intrigued by McGehee. Wilson Betemit, who lost 2013 to injuries, was also discussed as an option by the Marlins.
Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald first reported the agreement (on Twitter). Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported the Major League guarantee (also on Twitter).

East Notes: Yankees, Barney, Marlins, McGehee
The latest from the AL East..
- The Yankees may have interest in Darwin Barney of the Cubs, tweets Bruce Levine of 670thescore.com. The two sides have discussed the second baseman in the past and talks have been renewed in the wake of Omar Infante's agreement with the Royals. Barney had a down year in 2013, posting a .208/.266/.303 line in 501 plate appearances.
- Meanwhile, the Marlins are looking for a third baseman and are intrigued by free agent Casey McGehee, who played in Japan this year and led his team to a championship, writes Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Back in October, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reported that McGehee was seeking a return to MLB. The 31-year-old hit .289/.371/.512 with 27 home runs in his first season with the Rakuten Golden Eagles. Wilson Betemit, who lost 2013 to injuries, has also been discussed as an option. Miami wants a third baseman with versatility, and McGehee and Betemit both fit the bill.
- Despite a little talk about other teams interest in Brian Roberts, he hasn't been mentioned very often by the Orioles in the last few weeks, writes Rich Dubroff of CSNBaltimore.com.
- Rays infielder Tim Beckham, the top pick in the 2008 draft, will miss a good chunk of the 2014 season after suffering an ACL tear, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. He would have been a long shot to make the Opening Day roster but he likely would have seen action if Tampa Bay needed depth or had an injury to a middle infielder.

Casey McGehee Considering Return To MLB
Masahiro Tanaka has gotten most of the attention from those looking at the Rakuten Golden Eagles' roster this season (and deservedly so), but the team's third baseman warrants some consideration as well. Former Major League infielder Casey McGehee has enjoyed a monster season in his first taste of Nippon Pro Baseball and could look to return to the Majors in 2014, writes Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.
McGehee hit .289/.371/.512 with 27 home runs in his first season with the Eagles after signing a one-year deal this past offseason. His agent, Barry Meister, told Nicholson-Smith that McGehee will assess his options after the season and decide whether to continue in Japan or head back to the United States.
The 30-year-old corner infielder is expected to seek a starting job, which might be difficult to come by in the United States, though a non-contending team could certainly look to give him full-time at-bats. McGehee comes with some upside, as he posted an impressive .291/.346/.477 batting line with 39 homers in his first two big league seasons with the Brewers in 2009-10. His production fell off the table from 2011-12, however, as he slashed just .221/.282/.351 between the Brewers, Pirates and Yankees.
McGehee has yet to accumulate six years of MLB service time, which would make him arbitration eligible for any team that signed him as a free agent.

Rakuten Eagles To Sign Casey McGehee
10:33am: McGehee obtained a $1.5MM guarantee, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). The deal includes easily attainable incentives that can bring the value of the contract past $2MM.
7:27am: Free agent infielder Casey McGehee has agreed to play in Japan for the Rakuten Eagles, according to multiple Japanese reports (via Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker). Within this Sankei/MSN report Rakuten scouting director Hiroshi Abei acknowledges the sides have agreed to a deal, pending a physical. McGehee, a Meister Sports Management client, will earn $1.3MM on a one-year contract.
McGehee spent this past season with the Pirates and Yankees, appearing in 114 games. The 30-year-old posted a .217/.284/.358 batting line with nine home runs and 16 doubles in 352 plate appearances while playing first base, second base and third base. He earned $2.54MM in 2012 and elected free agency in October.
Earlier in the offseason, the Eagles added another prominent former MLB player, agreeing to a deal with Andruw Jones.

Casey McGehee Elects Free Agency
Yankees infielder Casey McGehee has elected free agency, Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). Meister Sports Management represents McGehee, who had been a non-tender candidate in New York.
McGehee, 30, spent this past season with the Pirates and Yankees. He hit nine home runs and posted a .217/.284/.358 batting line in 352 plate appearances. MLBTR had projected a $2.9MM salary for McGehee if the Yankees tendered him a contract. The corner infielder doesn't have a significant platoon split over the course of his five-year career.

Pirates, Yankees Swap McGehee, Qualls
The Yankees acquired corner infielder Casey McGehee and $250K from the Pirates for reliever Chad Qualls, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
For all the talk of the Yankees seeking a defense-first third baseman to fill in for Alex Rodriguez, they went with right-handed power in McGehee. Perhaps the Yanks liked McGehee's versatility, with Mark Teixeira ailing as well. McGehee, 29, is hitting .230/.297/.377 in 293 plate appearances for the Pirates. They acquired him from the Brewers for Jose Veras in December; McGehee has about $890K remaining on his contract. He's arbitration eligible for 2013, but may be non-tendered. He was made more expendable by the Pirates' acquisition of first baseman Gaby Sanchez from the Marlins earlier today.
Qualls, 33, has a 4.89 ERA, 4.9 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 1.63 HR/9, and 54% groundball rate for the Phillies and Yankees this year. The Yankees acquired Qualls from the Phils on July 1st after he'd been designated for assignment, and Qualls was a likely roster casualty had he remained with the Yanks.

Pirates, Casey McGehee Avoid Arbitration
The Pirates avoided arbitration with Casey McGehee, agreeing to terms on a 2012 contract, the team announced. He'll earn $2.5375MM in 2012, according to Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (on Twitter). All arbitration eligible players are now under contract for 2012, as MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows.
McGehee, a Meister Sports Management client, had asked for $2.725MM, while the Pirates had countered with a $2.35MM offer. His 2012 salary is the midpoint of the two submissions. The infielder was arbitration eligible for the first time this offseason and he'll remain under team control through the 2014 campaign. I examined his case in relation to teammate Garrett Jones last week.

Suspension Creep Models for Miniature Loudspeakers
Different models for describing the suspension creep behavior of loudspeakers are available at the moment. They include the "LOG"-model from Knudsen, the model used in the Klippel Analyzer system (same as Knudsen, but neglecting the frequency dependent losses) and the 3-parameter model of Ritter and Agerkvist. In contrast to HiFi speakers the differences between the creep models can be seen more clearly in miniature loudspeakers using compound (multilayer) membranes. Benefits from choosing the right creep model are tabulated in terms of RMS fit errors and evaluation results for miniature loudspeaker samples are shown.

Important 1799 Silver Dollar1799 $1 7x6 Stars MS62 NGC. B-8, BB-165, R.3. Bowers-Borckardt Die State II with a crack through star 7 and the LIB in LIBERTY. On this obverse die, Liberty has an "open mouth." The 1 in the date is relatively far from the curl. This die was used only to produce this variety, as was the reverse die. It is also interesting to note that the N in UNITED was initially cut upside down and later corrected.

MS62, 7x6 Stars, B-8, BB-165
Both sides are toned golden-brown and steel-blue. There is an area of weakness of strike at the central portion of the reverse, typical for this die variety. One of the finest known specimens of Bolender-8, confirmed by the smooth surfaces and the extensive satin luster.(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 24X7, PCGS# 6878)

routes du bonheur Suggestions for itineraries to discover the world
Restaurant in the country. Italy,Colle di Val d'Elsa Siena
Family tradition taught me a love of fine ingredients and a respect for good quality. At home every day proceeded to the rhythm of the kitchens which operated all day long, almost like a ritual.
As an adolescent, I developed a love for fine cuisine, blends of different flavours, contrasting tastes and unusual pairings: sweet, savoury, bitter and sour.
I became a chef out of passion. I had a talent for it and a desire to be creative and was entranced by the idea of working with ingredients much like a real architect works with materials.
I started my career as an apprentice in Saint-Moritz, and then, under the supervision of the great chef Angelo Paracucchi, in Ameglia, I learnt how to bring taste to life.
It was later at Le Moulin de Mougins with Roger Vergé and in Paris working with Gaston Lenôtre that I gently found my place in life and my vocation.
Since 1982, I have been at Arnolfo, the family restaurant where I create contemporary cuisine inspired by the Mediterranean.

Is it logical to create an Incremental backup schedule for a RMAN policy
Hi Guys,
I am planning to create a RMAN policy for DBA's.
I guess one would be Default application schedule which i need to keep 24x7 for user initiated backups.
Then there would be automatic backup schedule for backups to be triggered from NBU end.
Now,automatic would be FULL..right ? Do you think i need to create an Incremental backup schedule too ? if yes,,why ? i guess NBU's gonna pick all the data that RMAN is going to provide to it whatsover.(Full or incremantal data picked would be all).
Anybody shed some more light in DB policy schedules ?
Thanks !!!!!!
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
The answer is depend on DBA's planning of how he is going to backup DBs. If he is going to perform level0 everyday then no need for another schedule from NBU side. However, if he is going to perform incremental/cumulative backups and you wnat to configure different retention levels then you need to create two different schedules and have him use those based on a day of the week from the RMAN script.

Why case studies count
The subject of this week's PRCA's Public Sector Group was prize-winning campaigns. We were lucky enough to have Leonie Austin from NHS Blood and Transplant, and Linda McIntyre from Consolidated in Scotland come along and talk about their PR Week and PRCA Award winning entries – coincidentally on the related topics of getting people to give blood, and to sign up for the organ donation register.
As you'd expect from award-winning campaigns, there were some lovely creative touches in both, as well as all the usual hygiene factors done really well. But what came across really strongly from both campaigns was how good, emotive case studies can dramatically increase a campaign's impact.
Of course, I'm not telling people anything new here. PR people spend half their lives on the hunt for case studies, often getting increasingly frustrated when they don't appear, don't want to drop everything to be in the BBC Breakfast studio the following morning, or forget to give your client a name check. And even the most obliging case study can sometimes have difficulties with journalists – taking too aggressive a line in questioning, choosing a particular angle to cover that the case study might not find appropriate, or just dropping them in the end because news priorities have changed.
Listening to Leonie and Linda talk about the incredibly inspiring case studies they deal with – especially in the case of organ donors, where you might be dealing with a recently bereaved family, or someone undergoing the stress and tension of waiting for an organ transplant – brought home a fact that it's sometimes easy to forget. Case studies are flesh and blood people, with entirely separate lives of their own – not an extension of your PR campaign designed to "amplify the emotional factors."
Of course, I'm sure we'd all be incredibly protective of our case studies in such life and death situations as those set out above. But we do need to remember any case study – even someone saying how much they like a new brand of toothpaste – probably isn't used to dealing with the media, might be a bit scared by it, will have their friends texting them to take the piss when the piece appears, will be a bit disappointed if it doesn't appear, and basically is doing you a massive, massive favour.
As the PRs, we're responsible for putting a case study up in front of the media – a situation they might otherwise never find themselves in. So we have a responsibility, even a duty of care, to make sure that they're well prepared, comfortable with what they're asked to do, and protected where necessary, as well as properly thanked. The case study work done by Consolidated in Scotland encouraged over 1,000 people to sign up for the Organ Donor Register – when we know they can make that kind of impact, it's only right that we treat case studies as the incredibly important people they are.

Susie Essman, Richard Lewis are a hit and a miss
In the eyes of any talent booker, Richard Lewis and Susie Essman would seem like a totally compatible pairing for a comedy bill. Both standups regularly appear on Larry David's HBO hit comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They're the same generation (Lewis is 65, Essman 57), and their takes on their Jewish backgrounds, aging and sexuality aren't too dissimilar.
And so Lewis and Essman were brought in as co-headliners for the second annual Laugh It Up Milwaukee benefit Saturday, presented by the Bayshore Community Foundation and hosted at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. »Read Full Article(6)

Butter an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan and line with oiled parchment paper. Begin layering the croque monsieur by lining the bottom of the loaf pan with bread (use 2 slices for each layer). Dot the first layer with 1 generous tablespoon mascarpone cheese and spread as evenly as possible. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the chives over the cheese. Cover with 1/4 cup Fontina cheese and layer the ham over cheese. This is one complete layer. Build two more layers, ending with a row of bread.
Whisk together the cream or milk and eggs in a bowl to make a custard. Strain the custard through a sieve and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the custard over the croque monsieur, cover with parchment paper, and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before baking. The croque can be placed overnight in the refrigerator at this point if desired.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the loaf pan in a deep casserole and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the loaf pan to create a bain-marie. Cover with a piece of buttered parchment paper. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the custard has set. Test with a toothpick -- if it comes out clean, remove from the oven and the bain-marie and allow the croque monsieur to cool in the loaf pan. When cool, place in the refrigerator to chill. Turn the croque out of the pan and cut into generous 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut each slice in half across the layers and skewer the two halves together. (The slices can be left whole for a sturdier presentation.)
To Serve
Heat an 8-inch sauté pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil and gently place the croque monsieur skewers into the pan; sauté until golden brown on both sides. Serve with a green salad.
A roster of extreme deliciousness (at modest prices).

Aid shunnedEritrea's fervent pursuit of self-reliance is rooted in its 30-year struggle for independence from Ethiopia, first against U.S.-backed Emperor Haile Selassie and then Soviet-backed dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam.
Eritrea's president, Isaias Afwerki, an engineer who received his military training in China, has never forgotten that his Marxist-leaning rebellion received no help from any Cold War superpower. He has served as the nation's leader since its independence in 1993.
Isaias said the lack of resolution on the border has left Eritrea in limbo. Critics accuse him of using the standoff to backslide on democratic reforms.

Day seven was "Hill Day" as the senators were met by the Girls Nation senators and together stormed Capitol Hill to meet with their respective senators and representatives. Although the tempertures were hot, the delegates had a productive and exciting day. Evening brought a favorite assembly speaker, Nesse Goden, survivor of the Holocast. Nesse's story stirs emotions deep inside her audiences and every Boys Nation delegate who hears her, loves her. It's an evening to remember a lifetime.

Is it a bronzer? Wait — no. Is it a blush?
Actualmente, Balm Desert ($21) is both. It's a new reddish tan face powder by theBalm that you can use as both. It works as a bronzer and/or a straight-up blush.
You could probably also use it as a contouring shade, since it leans neutral/cool…
If you already scrolled down and saw the swatch, your pores may be freaking out right now because of what looks like a slight sheen, but tell them to chill out. Balm Desert looks more matte in real life.
I've noticed that theBalm's powders have a light and fluffy quality to 'em that makes them really easy to blend. It also makes them challenging (also known as "messy") to work with at times, and Balm Desert's the same way. Running a brush across the pan lifts a lot of product, and messiness may ensue, but you can head it off by tapping your brush against something to unload the excess.

About General Hospital
Named to Times Top 100 Television Shows of All Time, General Hospital continues its tradition of passion, intrigue and adventure that takes place in the fictional town of Port Charles in upstate New York. The glamour and excitement of those who have come to find their destinies in this familiar seaport town intertwine with the lives, loves and fortunes of beloved, well-known faces. And, as always, love and danger continue to abound on General Hospital with contemporary storylines and unforgettable characters.
General Hospital, the most honored show of the 2012 Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards, celebrates its golden anniversary on April 1, 2013. Honoring 50 historic years on ABC, General Hospital is the longest running American soap opera currently in production and the longest running scripted drama on television currently in production. Based on the West Coast, the show has aired over 12,000 episodes and has received the prestigious Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Drama a record eleven times.
For many years General Hospital has worked alongside and been praised by numerous national organizations for elevating public awareness of important health and social issues. Most recently the drama received a 2007 Sentinel for Health Award given for exemplary portrayals of health issues in TV for the compelling Patrick HIV scare storyline. In addition, Public Service Announcements were produced in conjunction with specific storylines to promote the very important real-life issues of bipolar disorder and tolerance and understanding for gay, lesbian and transgender people. The spots received special recognition from their respective organizations, the former by the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance and the latter by GLAAD. In 2004 the show won a PRISM Award given for accurate portrayals of tobacco, drug and alcohol addiction in the media for the storyline of Courtneys addiction to pain killers. It has also received three SHINE Awards (formerly the Nancy Susan Reynolds Award) for its continued contribution to the awareness of sexual responsibility. The Ryan White Foundation presented its 1996 Ryans Angels Award to General Hospital for the moving and thorough examination of HIV/AIDS through the characters of Robin and Stone. The show was further honored by the American Red Cross for its HIV/AIDS-related storylines and received the Susan G. Komen Foundation Media Award for the story of Monicas experience with breast cancer. The series has also been honored with several other prestigious awards for confronting sexual child abuse, organ donation and other important social issues.
In the 40th Anniversary special edition of TV Guide, General Hospital was hailed as the All-Time Best Daytime Soap. Late cast members Anna Lee (Lila Quartermaine) and John Beradino (Dr. Steve Hardy) received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their work on the show. General Hospital has also won a number of awards from the Directors Guild and the Writers Guild for Outstanding Achievement.
General Hospital was created by Frank and Doris Hursley. Frank Valentini is the executive producer. Ron Carlivati is the head writer. General Hospital airs weekdays at 2:00 p.m., ET /1:00 p.m., PT/CT on the ABC Television Network.

Animation Mod (v1)Jun 27, 2013 Full Version 0 comments
Everything in the title: the required file for the mod to work (contains all the related text files and animations).
Allright lads!
When I first bought Napoleon I was honestly a wee bit put off by the ridiculous speed with which the various musket armed troops would bring their arms up to fire on enemy units (as it was super fast and robotic). I was even more surprised to notice that virtually no one had made a change to this robotic style of firing.
Therefore last night (after a bit of nostalgia) I decided to play Napoleon, and decided to address this wee issue. Therefore what I've done is made a very simple (yet effective) tweak. This mod replaces the Napoleon firing animations with the old Empire animations for musket firing (both grounded and kneeling); it will affect the light infantry, dragoons (not on horseback) and the line units (both regular and elite). I have run a few tests and it appears to work well - I didn't change any other animations, so your other units should be totally unaffected.
An example of the mod in action can be seen in this video here:
To Install:
- Extract the download to your Steam/steamapps/common/napoleon total war/data folder. Then edit your user.script (found in Users/"Your Name Here"/Appdata/Roaming/The Creative Assembly/Napoleon/Scripts) to have the following:
"mod anim_empire_units_mod.pack;" (without quote tags)
Hopefully it should run without any problems.
- The Creative Assembly for making the original animations!
No news has been posted here. If you have relevant news to share you should post it now.
Everything in the title: the required file for the mod to work (contains all the related text files and animations).
is it compatible with the american civil war mod?
Should be; it doesn't tamper with any mod files or core game concepts (apart from firing speed).
Where in the script document should the extra line go? Or does it matter?
Just put it below whatever it says in the user.script - if it says nothing just add the line, save and close!
Hey, can you be a little specific about where to put the file? You just said script, where in the script?
Put the file into Napoleon Total War/Data <----folder that is all,and maybe you will need a mod manager!!
Is it DM compatible?
Aye mate it should be; I run DM with it like =)
Stupid question but IT IS!
Wow, *******.

There are all kinds of strange eateries out there, ranging from opera-themed bistros to cafes swarming with cats, as well as diners built inside of the fuselages of old airplanes. While we understand that some people just want a simple, peaceful meal when they head out, others like a little something extra special.
Cats and dogs, while extremely lovable, are not the only choices out there when it comes to selecting a household pet. There are quite a few unusual animals in existence that actually make good, even great companions for their human owners. We're not talking man-eating tigers or wild boars here—there are some limits to just how exotic you should go.
For a country as obsessed with weight and food production as ours is, there tends to be a lot of conflicting information, health-food fads and dietary gimmicks circulating about what and how we should eat.
Some people don't mind handing over their hard-earned cash for some very expensive jewelry. While we have nothing against treating yourself to pricey ornaments on occasion, there are more economical ways to go about procuring a vast inventory of fashionable accessories.
When it comes time to celebrate the passing of another year, people around the world often gather together and make a lot of noise in order to demonstrate their good cheer.
Everyone knows Christmas Day is all about tearing open presents, spending time with loved ones, gorging on lots of good food and celebrating the holiday spirit in general. Even though most of us have got the holiday thing down by now, some folks out there might not be aware of some of the unusual and history-making events marking Christmas Day and Christmas Eve in the past.
Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York City's Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials.
Bizarre presentation, unusual flavor and the "oddball factor" add new elements to this great tradition. If you're feeling playful and adventurous, you could add a few of these items to your menu.
The universe is a pretty amazing place, from the unimaginably large, right down to the incredibly small. There's an awful lot going on in this field we call "existence."
