This blush is okay, there are other Nars blushes I like better, I think this one is a bit rashy looking on my pale slightly cool skin, its probably just to warm for me. I mean this is a decent product but now a must have unless it really suits you...and it doesn't seem to suit everyone. I'd buy other Nars blushes again but definitely not this one, it just didn't blow me away.

I so agree with Bonbon. I tried this at Sephora after it was highly touted in magazines, books, etc. II was not at all impressed and it had too much sparkle or something. Not flattering on my light to medium Asian skin. I also tried a number of Stila convertible colors but not impressed with any of them either. The saleslady at Sephora suggested Clinique blushwear cream stick in Rosy Blush. Wow! Just the pop of color I needed. Sephora is great for "try before you buy" and I really suggest you do this with Nars Orgasm because it may not work for you.

I have no complaints, awesome formula, however, not a super product
I don't see too much in the sparkle area, the amount is just right. I don't think it's universally flattering, but it fits a lot of ppl

My HG blush! This is a perfect pinky-peach color that looks quite natural on my skintone and makes me look nice and rosy yet not overdone. I apply this with my MAC 129 blush brush just to the apples of my cheeks after my bronzer and I get a nice glow. This stuff is light and buildable and a little goes a long way. It will take me a very long time to use this up, but when I do run out I will definitely repurchase! The price is fairly expensive as with all Nars products, but the use you get out of this justifies the cost in my opinion. Only with they would change up the packaging. The case is made of that rubbery material and all of my powder gets stuck to it and makes the case look like a mess. Other than that though, this blush is great, esp. on my fair-medium asian skin.

I like Nars products and when I read an article in my Glamour mag about this blush, I had to try it. It read, perfect for ANY skin tone. I am fair but tan easily and have gold/yellow undertones. Peaches look good on me but it's very hard to find that perfect peachy tint for your cheeks. Either they are way too orangey or too grandma looking. Anyways, I bought this, tho I was reluctant after seeing the price. It's pricey and they don't give you a whole bunch. The color is perfect tho. Very peachy/pink with flecks of shimmer. Very pretty during summer and gives you a wonderful healthy glow. Use sparingly tho, because if you apply too much then you look like a clown. Another complaint is the name! It's very embarressing when someone asks, "what color are you wearing?" and you have to mutter, "orgasm"! Plus not so sure the names are great for teen girls. All in all despite the funky name and price, it's a great color and product!

I kept seeing rave reviews for this product no matter what skin tone and had to go try it myself. I went to Sephora, tried it and bought it the same day. I always looks for great peach blushes as they are very natural and flattering for me. Yet, they are so hard to find. This is beyond perfect! It lasts forever and I can't imagine ever being without it. The little gold flecks imparts the most gorgeous look of glow from within. I can't say enough about this blush but to go out and try it for yourself! Yes it is expensive, but it is worth it. The compact is designed perfectly. It is simple, doesn't take up tons of space, and isn't tricky to use one handed.

I hate to be the dissenter here but I just cannot understand the hype. I'll admit, the packaging is great and it looks beautiful in the pan, but even though I have very pale skin I have to pile it on to make it show, not to mention the overwhelming shimmer! I can imagine this being lovely on honey coloured skin as a highlighter but it does nothing for my ghost-like pallor.

i had never seen this blush in person, so when i received it after ordering online i was kind of shocked by how bright it is. it doesn't look like the pictures.
that being said, i do like it. i'm very fair skinned so i have to just lightly tap my brush on the surface or it will be too much, but i've mastered it. it's a really gorgeous color. it doesn't look as natural on me as it might on some others because of how bright it is, but it definitely isn't garish.
that said, i'm still looking for a blush that looks like this one does in pictures.

On Jan. 23, a 3-D movie of the band U2, "U2 in 3D," will be released to audiences in select cities. The live-action 3-D movie from 3ality Digital was previewed at the Sundance Film Festival and CES 2008 earlier this month. A preview was shown at the Cannes Film Festival last July.
The film contains images from seven South American U2 concerts as the band performed its Vertigo tour, primarily in Buenos Aires. 3ality Digital used nine of its custom 3-D cameras to record the performances.
The company manufactures stereoscopic camera systems that automatically align, and the imagery systems adapt to mechanical and lens imperfections. As many as 16 motors are used to keep the left and right camera lenses aligned as it changes depth and zoom. The ability to align the lenses in the camera means less time is required to rematch them in post. This is a key step in keeping costs low and reducing eyestrain.
Stereoscopic imagery production is similar to that required for 2-D — conforming, basic effects and color grading — as well as additional steps specific to 3-D, such as image and color balancing, Z-axis and convergence manipulation, image alignment and layering.
With its techniques to handle misalignment when recording, the company sees potential for 3-D to be shown live to audiences. Live sporting events, for example, could be transmitted in 3-D to digital cinema theaters via satellite or fiber.
Not so far away is 3-D viewing at home. In fact, 3-D-ready consumer televisions are on the market. Samsung's 3D-Ready DLP HDTVs have a refresh rate of 120Hz, making the transitions between right and left image display fast, smooth and flicker-free for viewers wearing prerequisite LCD shutter glasses. The Burbank,CA-based company says that it's even possible to broadcast in 3-D to consumer televisions, because the signal can be compressed to fit into the ATSC bit stream.
The company is also working to eliminate the need for 3-D glasses. Its newest 3-D camera platform, the TS-3, is a lightweight, miniature high-resolution camera system specifically designed to capture 3-D images for display on the newest generation Autostereo (no 3-D glasses necessary) flat-screen monitors.

What tools does the community use to help identify if cache misses are even a problem, and if they are a problem where they are occuring in the code?
The first question is:
How do I identify how much time is being spent waiting for data from main memory as a result of cache misses? Will a sampling profiler like OProfile attribute time to functions waiting on this data? For instance, they will not attribute time to functions waiting on data from disk reads, so one has to wonder if the same is true of waiting for data from memory.
The second question is: If I identify that cache misses are indeed a bottleneck, how do I identify what parts of the code are requesting the uncached memory? Should I use OProfile with LLC_MISSES as the event? Are there other tools that I don't know about? I prefer to stay away from proprietary solutions unless there is a compelling reason to use them, as I don't want to be locked into a certain toolchain in the future.
Thanks for you help!

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) - Rickie Fowler has a simple approach at the Match Play Championship.
"You have got to beat whoever you play in match play or else you're going home," Fowler said Thursday after sending another top player packing.
A day after beating European Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter 2 and 1, Fowler edged Jimmy Walker 1 up to set up a third-round match against Sergio Garcia.
"Got Sergio tomorrow," Fowler said. "That's all I know."
After Fowler drove left into the desert and lost the short, par-4 15th, he squared the match with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th. He won the par-4 17th with a par and finished off Walker with an 8-foot par putt on the par-4 18th.
Fowler missed the cuts in his last three tournaments, while Walker leads the tour with three victories this season and opened with a 5-and-4 victory over Branden Grace.
"It's just a couple of bounces here and there - either way, both guys," Walker said.
The biggest bounce came on the 235-yard 16th. After Walker hit to about 25 feet, Fowler's ball went right and kicked left of a mound and settled 20 feet from the pin.
"That's just kind of the stuff that happens," Walker said. "He got to watch mine go down there and he ended up making it."
Fowler knew he had some margin for error.
"I've seen that kick before and I knew I had room over there," Fowler said. "I was playing a club that was landing maybe front edge and I did miss it a little right of my line, but I knew I had somewhat of a bank there."
He took advantage of the break by making the putt.
"I told my caddie, 'I'm going to make this one.' I knew I needed to," Fowler said.
He took the lead on No. 17, getting up-and-down for par from the back fringe. Walker drove into the right rough and his approach went left down a steep slope.
"I wanted it to cut a little more," Walker said. "I think it landed right distance-wise, but it was left and took a hard kick to the left."

Willard Marine SEAFORCE 540 Inboard RIB Delivered to U.S. Navy/Egyptian Project.
Willard Marine Inc. announced that the company has delivered the first of four (4) patrol Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) to a U.S. Navy project in Pascagoula, MS. The boats are being built for the Egyptian Navy. The boats supplied are the Willard Marine Sea Force 540 inboard RIB. Willard Marine was chosen to supply this military quality RIB because of their expertise, best value and ability to build high quality, durable, military platforms that operate from larger vessels.
The deep "VEE" hull laminate for the Sea Force 540 complies with ISO 12215.5: 2008 Small Craft-Hull Construction and Scantlings. This boat is powered by a 170 HP inboard diesel engine, connected to an outdrive. This light weight boat achieves speeds in excess of 38 knots and is highly maneuverable and durable for military service.
The Sea Force 540 has become an excellent platform for military customers. It is an ideal size to set aboard smaller military patrol boats that cannot accommodate the larger 7 Meter Standard Navy RIBs. The Sea Force™ 540 is a smaller version of the Standard 7 Meter Navy RIB and is built to the highest of standards. All of the same manufacturing processes, testing, evaluations and quality assurance are used in the production of these boats. Willard Marine currently provides the 7 Meter Standard Navy RIBs on all U.S. Navy Combatant ships, as well as a large number of support vessels in the U.S. Naval fleet.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, initially created by Presidential Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 and implemented by two Executive Orders. On 1 April 1979. The primary purpose of FEMA is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster. FEMA also provides these services for territories of the United States, such as Puerto Rico. The only exception is when an emergency and/or disaster occurs on federal property or to a federal asset, for example, the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, or the Space Shuttle Columbia in the 2003 return-flight disaster.
While on-the-ground support of disaster recovery efforts is a major part of FEMA's charter, the agency provides state and local governments with experts in specialized fields and funding for rebuilding efforts and relief funds for infrastructure by directing individuals to access low interest loans, in conjunction with the Small Business Administration. In addition to this, FEMA provides funds for training of response personnel throughout the United States and its territories as part of the agency's preparedness effort.
A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard that has come to fruition, resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic event with great loss stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that disasters can cause damage to life, property and destroy the economic, social and cultural life of people.
In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of a combination of both hazard/s and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in areas with low vulnerability will never become disasters, as is the case in uninhabited regions.
Developing countries suffer the greatest costs when a disaster hits – more than 95 percent of all deaths caused by disasters occur in developing countries, and losses due to natural disasters are 20 times greater (as a percentage of GDP) in developing countries than in industrialized countries.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
17 Apr 2013 14:06 GMT | Sport, Athletics, Jamaica, United Kingdom
Usain Bolt will hope to make a golden return to the Olympic Stadium this summer when he competes at the London IAAF Diamond League meeting for first time in four years.
The Jamaican six-times Olympic champion will head a glittering cast as London's Queen Elizabeth Park celebrates the one-year anniversary of the Olympic opening ceremony.
The meeting, held on July 26-28, will feature 29 Olympic medallists, including 12 champions and four world record holders. Britain's heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis and double Olympic champion Mo Farah will also take part.
Sprinter Bolt's presence in the 100m and 4x100m relay will top the bill, however, as he puts the finishing touches to his preparations for August's championships in Moscow.
"I'm looking forward to coming back to the UK, especially with it being a year since winning three gold medals in the Olympic Stadium."
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt
Other than the Olympics, it will be his first competitive appearance in London since 2009, partly due to Britain's tax laws which could have seen him give up a share of his appearance or prize money and endorsements.
An exemption for "non-residents" is now in force and Bolt said he was relishing the chance to play a part in what is being dubbed the "Anniversary Games."
"I'm looking forward to coming back to the UK, especially with it being a year since winning three gold medals in the Olympic Stadium," Bolt who repeated his Beijing hat-trick in London last year, said in a statement.
"The crowd were amazing at the Games, and I hope they will be out again in their numbers at the end of July. I haven't competed at the London Diamond League since 2009 but it has always been a great meet with lots of Jamaican support - it almost feels like running at home."
Bolt won the 100m and 200m in London and then helped Jamaica win the 4x100m relay in a new world record.

Beautiful, lots of compliments, but a bit bulky
The ring is beautiful and the CZ stones look like real diamonds. I ordered a size 8, which is my ring size, and happily it is a tad loose, which means that if my finger swells for any reason, I have no worries. However, I probably would have been happier with a channel setting of cubic zirconia in a 14k gold band, because the stones do make the ring bulky and I had to get used to the feeling of it rubbing against my little finger and middle finger. I wonder if it would look better with a gold band? I may try that. Also, plan on having an old toothbrush around to clean it! I do love it, in spite of some of my remarks. And the price was right!Read More
Nice ring.
When I bought this I was hoping it was a thinner ring than it actually was. A little too thick and bulky for my finger. Other than that it was a nice ring.Read More

I needed a new smaller stone eternity ring to go with a smaller ring. This one is perfect and fits nicely. The stones are very shiny and look like diamonds, no one can tell the difference.Read More
Terrific buy!
Arthritis causes my hands to swell, so original wedding set doesn't always fit. This simple but sparkly anniversary band is impressive! I like it so much that I wear it almost daily, and it still looks as good as the day it arrived.The gold is not a brassy color at all and the cubic zirconia stones really pick up light and sparkle nicely. Love it!Read More
Questions & Answers
Just what I was looking for.
Price, design, the fact that it was 14k gold over sterling silver, and the fact that overstock.com took the time to provide customer information about this type of metal.
I have worn these rings in front and back of my diamond solitaire as a ring guard for 7 years. It is perfect when we are on vacation or involved in activities where I do not want to risk losing my real rings. The stones in this ring are beautiful and none of my friends or colleagues can tell they are not my original rings. Absolutely perfect and stunning!

Pure by Andrew Miller
Between filth and freedom in Paris
Friday 03 June 2011
Andrew Miller's richly textured sixth novel opens in 1785 in a dingy ministerial anteroom in the Palace of Versaille. Jean-Baptiste Baratte, of solid Normandy stock and a recent engineering graduate of the Ecole Royale des Ponts et Chaussées, is to be interviewed for a job in Paris. While waiting he endeavours to scrape flecks of mud or shit from his stocking. A small dog fouls the floor, causing Baratte to muse on "the way even a dog's piss is subject to unalterable physical laws". This is classic Miller territory: we're back in the filth-choked, scientifically-charged 18th century (a period he spent comfortably exploring in his first two superb novels), where the inescapable earthiness of life assails on all sides and in all quarters.
Baratte is a professional who will grapple with the technical difficulties of his role but also the softer, more elusive problems: what is his place in society; and how should he pursue his own happiness? Towards the end of this novel, at a crucial moment of decision (and in previous novels Miller has put much weight on characters choosing to act), Baratte is again watching a dog heedlessly lapping water from a puddle. This simple, natural action, an instinctive quenching of thirst amid the filth of Paris streets, spurs him to take control of his life and quench his own yearning – to act, finally, according to his instinct, and in defiance of public opinion.
Murder, rape, seduction and madness impel this elegant novel. Baratte undertakes his commission of removing the entire cemetery of Les Innocents, close to the markets at les Halles. Closed after human remains broke through a wall into the cellar of a neighbouring tenement, the cemetery and its ancient church is to be cleansed. Baratte is to oversee the excavation of the graves and charnel pits (some of which, at almost 20 metres deep, draw on the engineer's mining expertise) and the transport of bones to a defunct quarry outside the city.
Purifying centuries of decaying mortality and removing the miasma that permeates the dwellings, skin and even food of the area is neither simple nor necessarily popular. Miller threads into this fabric subtle ideas about modernity, glancing at Voltaire, public health and the seditious graffiti that anticipate the revolutionary fervour of 1789 - just four years away.
Within this physical and political decay, Miller couches the heart of the matter: how to live one's life with personal integrity, with a purity not so much morally unblemished as unalloyed with the fads and opinions of society. This concern has driven most of Miller's protagonists. In One Morning Like a Bird, a novel beautifully nuanced with atmospheric detail, feeble young intellectual Yuji Takano has to negotiate a mode of living in wartime Tokyo in the face of hostility to his pacifism. The old roué in Miller's superb Casanova seeks bliss philandering in London but achieves only a hollow satiety. At the novel's close, a man yells "I am happy!" from a window. Is he insane? Casanova wonders, then mutters: "Would that it were contagious".
Such contagion Miller gently encourages through his procession of energetic, acutely observed characters, such as Père Colbert, the cemetery's mad priest; Heloïse, a demurely self-possessed whore; or Armand, the church's flamboyant organist. Miller populates Baratte's quest for equanimity with these lush and tart characters, seductively fleshed out, who collectively help to deliver the bittersweet resolution of Baratte's professional and personal travails.

American actor Robert Conrad was a graduate of Northwestern University, spending his first few years out of school supporting himself and his family by driving a milk truck and singing in a Chicago cabaret. Conrad befriended up-and-coming actor Nick Adams during this period, and it was Adams who helped Conrad get his first Hollywood work in 1957. A few movie bit parts later, Conrad was signed for a comparative pittance by Warner Bros. studios, and in 1959 was cast as detective Tom Lopaka on the weekly adventure series Hawaiian Eye. Upon the 1963 cancellation of this series, Conrad made a handful of Spanish and American films and toured with a nightclub act in Australia and Mexico City. Cast as frontier secret agent James West in The Wild Wild West in 1965, Conrad brought home $5000 a week during the series' first season and enjoyed increasing remunerations as West remained on the air until 1969. There are those who insist that Wild Wild West would have been colorless without the co-starring presence of Ross Martin, an opinion with which Conrad has always agreed. The actor's bid to star in a 1970 series based on the venerable Nick Carter pulp stories got no further than a pilot episode, while the Jack Webb-produced 1971 Robert Conrad series The D.A. was cancelled after 13 episodes. When Roy Scheider pulled out of the 1972 adventure weekly Assignment: Vienna, Conrad stepped in--and was out, along with the rest of Assignment: Vienna, by June of 1973. Conrad had better luck with 1976's Baa Baa Black Sheep, aka Black Sheep Squadron, a popular series based on the World War II exploits of Major "Pappy" Boyington. Cast as a nurse on this series was Conrad's daughter Nancy, setting a precedent for nepotism that the actor practiced as late as his tenth TV series, 1989's Jesse Hawkes, wherein Conrad co-starred with his sons Christian and Shane. Though few of his series have survived past season one, Conrad has enjoyed success as a commercial spokesman and in the role of G. Gordon Liddy (whom the actor admired) in the 1982 TV movie Will, G. Gordon Liddy. As can be gathered from the Liddy assignment, Conrad's politics veered towards conservatism; in 1981, he and Charlton Heston were instrumental in toppling Ed Asner and his liberal contingent from power in the Screen Actors Guild. As virile and athletic as ever in the 1990s, Robert Conrad has continued to appear in action roles both on TV and in films; he has also maintained strong ties with his hometown of Chicago, and can be counted upon to show up at a moment's notice as a guest on the various all-night programs of Chicago radio personality Eddie Schwartz.

But how can I load the png file if I add it to the resources? so I don't want to store in a png file next to the exe. Is it possible to load from the resources?
dot = load_image(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_PNG1));

Highly recommend!
Reviewed By Susan C (JACKSONVILLE, NC) Reviewed for a 2004 Ford F-250 —7/17/2015 5:08 AM
This is the 2nd Tonneau Cover my husband and I have purchased. We love the durability of the cover and the way it looks on the truck. My husband is able to install easily and remove if necessary very quickly. Keeping our belongings out of the weather and being able to secure them easily gives us peace of mind when traveling.
Great cover!
Reviewed By Brett S (FORT WAYNE, IN) Reviewed for a 2012 Ford F-250 —7/7/2015 7:03 AM
This cover is expensive but you get what you pay for. It appears to be well made and much better construction than the bak flip I had. The bak flip started to fail after about 2 years and need to replace it by year 3. I'm hoping this retrax will last much longer! It doesn't seem to have the flaws where the bak flip failed so I'm looking forward to this lasting and being a great cover! Install was easy and im happy with it! I called retrax and they were very helpful and seemed like good cust. Svc
Impressed with the Pro model
Reviewed By Blake H (BAYTOWN, TX) Reviewed for a 2015 Ford F-250 —6/18/2015 9:07 AM
This is my second Retrax. I had a Retrax One on my previous truck, I loved that one, but I am more impressed with the PRO model because it is aluminum and appears to be substantially stronger. Same design on both. Both about 99.9% water proofs the bed (water can get in around the tailgate). Finish is excellent. Both the ONE and PRO are great products, I would recommend both, I believe the PRO is worth the extra money.

Price Quality Average: 5 / 5 starsOrdered two replacement headlamps. They came packaged extremely well and in perfect condition. The lamps installed perfectly and had no problems at all. unplugged the originals and plugged back in the replacements. All of this at a fraction of the cost of the local Hyundai parts store/dealer. I would strongly recommend everyone saving their hard earned money and going to GoParts for these sort of needs. Completely satisfied if you have not already been able to tell.by DLDLD
