The Perpetual Notion
Various ramblings by Christopher Friedt
Play with VMFlexArray
MappedByteBuffer.hurray()!: Programming the Linux Framebuffer in Java & VMFlexArray Explained
- MappedByteBuffer.hurray()!: Programming the Linux FrameBuffer in Java & VMFlexArray Explained. See here.
- Internet of #allthethings: Using GNURadio Companion to Interact with an IEEE 802.15.4 Network. See here.
What I mean by that, is that when the VM instantiates an integer array object, e.g. int[] x = new int[ length ], it typically allocates memory (now careful, I'm going to use some C teriminology here) for an object struct (2 uintptr_t in JamVM) which represents the instance of the int[] object, followed by 1 uintptr_t, which represents the length of the int[] object, followed by exactly length uintptr_t items (on a 32-bit machine) or length / 2 uintptr_t items (on a 64-bit machine) to represent the data.
VMFlexArrays are slightly different. For the same case as above, where a new int[] is allocated on the Java heap, the VM would allocate an object struct (2 uintptr_t in JamVM) which represents the instance of the int[] object, followed by 1 uintptr_t to represent the length of the int[] object, followed by 1 uintptr_t to point to the int[] data, followed by the data itself.
What makes VMFlexArrays different, and what makes them flexible (and arguably way better than what most JVMs use today) is that they include that extra uintptr_t to point to the data which could exist anywhere in virtual memory. That means, obviously, VMFlexArrays can point to contiguous data that the JVM would allocate for a regular array, but it also means that it can point to an arbitrary location - and still cooperate with the garbage collector. Indeed, the object lifecycle remains unchanged for VMFlexArrays if the garbage collector avoids releasing memory regions with free(3) if the VMFlexArray pointer does not point to the next contiguous memory address.
VMFlexArray is a solution I came up with that allows one integrate off-heap memory regions into the Java Virtual Machine - e.g. a native external thread that allocates memory using malloc(3), or pages mapped from a device such as /dev/video0 using mmap(2).
Buffer Views
Perhaps the aspect of VMFlexArrays that I found most useful, that I somehow forgot to mention during my talk, is that they rather trivially allow the following code snippet to work as expected. Specifically, an IntBuffer derived from a ByteBuffer with a backing array should be able to provide an int[] backing array view of the same virtual memory.
Currently this code, which should work pretty seamlessly, fails miserably.
With VMFlexArrays, that problem is solved.
I've even used this code to memory map the Linux FrameBuffer and animate a bunch of bouncing balls :-) It works quite well.
There's even a massive speedup associated with access to the underlying byte[] from a ByteBuffer and even more so viewing the ByteBuffer as an IntBuffer, with access to the underlying int[].
I am definitely interested in enabling these changes to make it into OpenJDK, and I feel that the community at large would benefit greatly from them. As my time is rather limited these days, I might prefer to mentor a student to make these changes in the Google Summer of Code, 2015, if OpenJDK was a mentoring organization. Otherwise, I would be open to mentoring a student under the umbrella of JamVM or GNU Classpath as a mentoring organization.

- MappedByteBuffer.hurray()! Programming the Linux Framebuffer in Java & VMFlexArray Explained. See here.
- Internet of #allthethings: Using GNURadio Companion to Interact with an IEEE 802.15.4 Network. See here.
- FreakZ: A BSD-licensed ZigBee stack (for non-commercial purposes)
- Easily modified to communicate to a GNURadio device via UDP (github)
- Note: this stack is not certified.
- GNURadio
- a great suite of tools to interact with Software Defined Radio (SDR) transceivers
- GNURadio IEEE 802.15.4 Out Of Tree (OOT) module
- gr-ieee-802_15_4 is available today
- based on work originally from UCLA
- unofficially meets all of the mandatory requirements for the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY layer
- meets some of mandatory requirements for the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC layer
- lacking mandatory MAC features such as
- Beacon Management
- Receive Beacons
- Channel Access Mechanism
- Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA-CA)
- ACK Delivery
- Security
- Orphan Scanning
- Store One Transaction
To assist would-be developers in overcoming that hurdle, what I have done is simply used my USRP B200 to record real-world 802.15.4 traffic produced from an EM370 in NodeTest mode. This should easily facilitate offline signal processing using e.g. GNURadio (see File Source block), Matlab, Octave, or any other programming language. The block diagram for doing so is depicted below. I have intentionally made all of my variables directly obvious.
The files are listed and described below:
- ieee802154-channel14-txtone-complex-float32.dat
- simply recording a tone at 2420 MHz in the presence of noise
- note: there is a slight frequency offset which will need to be corrected
- ieee802154-channel14-txstream-complex-float32.dat
- a continuous random stream of valid channel symbols
- ieee802154-channel14-tx-complex-float32.dat
- a stream containing intermittent & full IEEE 802.15.4 frames
- frames are sent once every 25500 us
A Few Notes About the Current State of IEEE 802.15.4 in GNURadioAll of the open-source PHY implementations assume that Symbol and Timing Recovery (STR) is already performed. This is fine for simulation (depicted below).
However, since we already know the preamble of an IEEE 802.15.4 packet in the 2450 MHz ISM region, we are at liberty to implement a more sophisticated coherent architecture in our receiver. Specifically, due to the known preamble, we may use a Correlate and Sync block.
I will be doing a bit more experimenting in the coming days and will post an update once available.
Two Jedi-Fu Links for Installing Gentoo Quickly

What an Amazing Time Warp!
So when I was a teenager (years and years ago), my cousin John Muller & I played with Matt Howatt and a guy from Australia named Miles, and we covered the song Tinfoil by Limblifter. I played the bass, and Matt & John switched up for rhythm & lead guitar for every other song.
Tonight I had the privilege of seeing some of the original band from Limblifter playing in Hamilton.
It was a fantastic experience to be brought back to the music I loved in my youth and continue to love in adulthood.
Particularly, when I used to play this song, I played the bass, and I was certainly happy to meet the new female bass player tonight, who is certainly overqualified for this set. She has an MA I. Music specializing in the double bass. Aside from the cool factor of a 'chick' bassist, she was doing an amazing job with backup (and in some cases, lead) vocals.
This has probably been the best 'feel good' show for me this summer, thus far.
Thanks again to Limblifter for putting on a full energy show!
Cook Beans: Check ;-)
To Do: Cook Beans!
For anyone who thinks that going vegan is expensive... totally not the case.
If you are vegan and don't already own one, or if you're considering going vegan and have no idea where to start, investment #1 should be a pressure cooker. Not very many people (in Canada?) own one, but they're soooo common in India, and I've got my indian friends to thank for turning me on to mine.
You can buy massive dried bags of lentils of various colours (dal), kidney beans (rajma), chick peas (chana), or black beans for next to nothing. Compare the contents of one bag ($4 maybe?) to the same mass of beans in 20 (?) cans of water for >= $1 each!
And due to the simple equation from high school that most have forgotten, PV=nRT [1], you can cook dried gram at a much lower temperature if the pressure is increased (V, n, & R are held constant). This saves on electricity (or gas as the case may be). I'll be the first to admit, I used to cook dried beans like a complete idiot and soak them overnight, and then boil them for 5 hours or something. With a pressure cooker, there is no need to soak legumes overnight and cooking them takes about 1 hr. Most importantly, it completely seals in the flavour for whatever meal you have planned: burritos (like me), kaali, masoor, or tadka dal - or good, old-fashioned soups (e.g. lentil, split-pea)!
A nice side effect: dried legumes take far less energy to transport than cans of legumes that are 60% salt and water; you're going green [2]!
Naturally, not everyone has the proper body chemistry to be able to go vegan with great success, but here is one attractive figure that might catch your eye:
Marathon runners should consume about 1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight per day [3].
For a 180 pound guy like me (~80kg according to Google's conversion), that's about 50g of chick peas. What is that for a total protein bill per day - about 25¢ ??
Not bad at all :)
[1] The Ideal Gas Law (Influences amazing things! E.g. how fast a pot of water takes to boil)
[2] Vegetarian Diets Help Protect the Environment
(As if you didn't already know how green a vegan diet is!!)
[3] Sources of Protein for Runners: Spring Marathon Training Plan Part 5
Yum ;-)
A nearly-vegan pad thai (no eggs, but crab & otherwise some fish sauce).
Two Thumbs Up to Koush
For an engineering build it's running quite smoothly. I'm certainly looking forward to mirroring his git and building a userdebug variant. Typically this speeds up most aspects of the UI and other software since debug messages are less frequent.
A few pointers:
- If you feel that the boot animation is continuing infinitely, you probably forgot to erase the data partition (I did, originally)
- If you like Google Car Home, which is a great home-replacement while driving, then install it manually from a backed-up apk and install the 3rd party Car Mode Control app. The original google car home will install, but it is claimed not to work with ICS and does not show up in the launcher so there is no way to use it unless Car Mode Control is installed.
- If you encounter "Unfortunately, Google TTS Engine has stopped" Select PicoTTS to get Navigation and My Tracks to work.
An Update
Yes, I am in fact single again. Yes, there may be photos of me & my ex floating around on the interwebs that seem to be very recent - and they are! I only did become single again recently, and it was a bit sudden for me too!
So is life, however, and it does go on, as they say.
It's actually really surprising how little I'm blogging these days, with the major shift changing from blogging to micro-blogging via Twitter, FaceBook, and Google+ . Sorry if I haven't been terribly vocal.
Just thought I would post an update.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. - A New York man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting a child. He is also required to have five years post release supervision.
A press release says Ricky McNeil, 55, of Mooers Forks appeared in court in March and sentenced on three counts 2nd degree rape for repeadly sexually assualting a 14-year-old girl.
"The strength it took for this victim to come forward and report her abuser is inspirational," Assistant District Attorney Jaime Douthat said. "It is our hope that other victims out there who may be in a similar situation will be encouraged to come forward and stop suffering in silence."
McNeil was also ordered to pay a fine, submit to a DNA sample, register as a sex offender, and to stay away from the victim.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Great all-natural shampoo. It's sulfate and paraben free, as well as completely vegetarian. I've recently switched to all-natural shampoos and this is my favorite so far. The scent is a little strange at first. (I smell mostly lemongrass.) This foams up pretty well for a sulfate-free shampoo, but it does take a little more effort to suds the underside of my scalp. Suds do not always equal cleaner hair though, I just prefer them. =) It keeps my hair clean and fresh. I will stick with it because it doesn't seem to strip my color at all!
This leaves my hair feeling clean, leaving it neither greasy, nor stripped dry. It works perfectly for me. I very much appreciate that it doesn't have all the harmful ingredients like other shampoos have.

"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!View this product

"You've been condomized!" said Joy Lynn Alegarbes, of The Condom Project, which promoted safe sex at the 19th International AIDS Conference. The group handed out more than 850,000 condoms this week.

July 27, 2012 The International AIDS Conference isn't only about medical research. People from around the world met at its Global Village to share their experiences with the AIDS epidemic through music, art and dance. This year's highlights included a condom campaign and lube tasting booth.
July 25, 2012 A handful of AIDS cases were first recognized in the U.S. at the beginning of the 1980s. By 1990, there was a pandemic. In 1997, more than 3 million people became newly infected with HIV. A multimedia chart lets you track the cases by country over time.
At the International AIDS conference, a female condom fashion show raised awareness about the rising need for more female condoms. Olwin Manyanye of Zimbabwe shows off one of the dresses decorated with a second-generation female condom, called "FC2."

July 21, 2012 In the 1980s, HIV/AIDS swept across the globe. It soon reached pandemic proportions. In the three decades since, advances in drug therapies have transformed the disease from a death sentence to a chronic illness. In recent years, public health officials have embraced the idea of "test and treat" – that everyone who has HIV should know it and get into treatment right away. With new drug regimens that can reduce the amount of HIV in the blood to undetectable levels, researchers now believe they can halt the spread of HIV and end the pandemic.
July 19, 2012 Sure, you've got a world-changing idea — but can you explain it? This new collaboration challenges artists to illuminate the inventions of young scientists.

From the first moment Rino Nakasone saw Michael Jackson perform on TV at her home in Okinawa, she was transfixed. Already an avid dancer, Rino studied his moves, rewinding the VCR until she could imitate him perfectly. In 1999, she moved to California to chase her dream of becoming a professional dancer. Since then, Rino has performed with Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Janet Jackson.

This is a fantastic face scrub it leaves my skin refreshed, smooth, bright and gets all rid of all dead skin. It smells lovely and is very exfoliating. I can't stand 'gentle' scrubs as I feel they do nothing for my skin. This grains are small but effective and not harsh at all. I will definitely repurchase this, especially when The Body Shop has a 50% off discount code.

I hate every other skincare product the body shop sells except for this. I bought this because i have oily, acne prone skin, and wanted an at home microdermabrasion that i could use every week or two instead of getting them done professionally. While it is quite expensive, i have had by tube for ages now and don't think that i'm anywhere near close to empty. This is because you only need to use a tiny amount. I like the feeling of the beads on my skin, it feels very refreshing while it is also a great exfoliator. This helps to bring the baddies to bay but leaves me with great skin afterwards!

This is a review for the Vitamin C Microdermabrasion Scrub. I think it was either renamed or reformulated.
I was sceptical about it at first because the particles are so small when I like harsh scrubs with screamy texture (think St.Ives apricot scrb). But I gave in and got it with a 10% off Body Shop loyalty card. It reminds me very much of the Chanel's Gommage Eclat Express - lots of small particles in a cream-gel texture.
I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. I would rather say I like it quite much. It is an effective polish, not gentle, but not too harsh or abrasive. The only drawback is the vitamin C, which stings my sensitive skin in some areas so I have to use this very quickly and carefully otherwise I get a burning sensation around my nose and eye area. I don't get any instant glow or anything like that. I do feel squeaky clean and very polished, which is exactly why I need a scrub in the first place. I actually enjoy using this very much.
The packaging is lovely, I adore skincare in squeeze-tubes or bottles. Would totally repurchase and continue using it unless I find something in the same price range (or cheaper) which would be similar but not have irritating components. The product is worth the price because you don't need a lot of it at once and the tube would last me several months.

the Vitamin C microdermabrasion scrub is the best scrub i've tried so far! it really does its job and has a lovely smell too. skin feels clear and brighten! i find it a little bit harder than other scrubs, but for me that's something i like. so overall will definitely buy again and again!

Please note - this is for the Vitamin C microdermabrasion scrub (this seems like a predecessor to it).
Cannot say enough good things about this product. I use it 1-2x a week and it makes my skin feel amazing. I hate when scrubs say they exfoliate and then there are some measly beads in it that do nothing. This product is like small grains of sand so if you don't like harsh treatments don't use it. As I rub it in, I can just feel my dead skin sloughing off. I have to stop myself from using it too often.

The Vitamin C Micro Refiner - or Microdermabrasion as it is now called, is definitely one of my favorite facial products from The Body Shop.
I have sensitive skin - I wouldn't say that it is super sensitive, but it does get red easily, especially after washing it and applying moisturiser. Lets just say that my face doesn't like to be touched too much!
On The Body Shop's website, it states that this product will:
- Leave skin feeling soft and smooth
- Give skin a brighter, more radiant look
- Improve skin texture and tone
I can say in all honesty, that this product does pretty much everything that it says it does for my skin.
My face is always left feeling incredibly soft and smooth, it looks lovely and radiant, and the texture is fantastic!
There is only one thing that I can't agree with, and that is the part about the improvement of the skin tone. I have uneven skin tone - I have hyperpigmentation under my eye area (above my cheeks), and this product doesn't help to fade it or make that area more even.
The hyperpigmentation has been there for about six years though, so I'm guessing that no product like this will work miracles! I think that side of things is a job for the pros!
I have also found that if I use the Microdermabrasion too much over the area with hyperpigmentation, that it becomes quite red - possibly the sensitive skin...
If you have sensitive skin, but would still like to use this product, I would suggest the best way I have found this to work is to:
- Completely clean your face first (take off all makeup and moisturiser)
- Leave the face wet
- Mix a pea size amount in your fingertips with water
- Glide your fingertips over your face from your nose out to your cheeks lightly
I only glide this product over my face very lightly for about 30 seconds at the very most before carefully washing off.
Hope this helps my sesitive skin buddies!!! xxx

This is such a fantastic exfoliator. Unlike others you don't have to scrub the skin to feel the benefits with this, the grains are soooo fine you just massage this in circular motions once a week and you are left with baby soft skin. It evens out my skin tone too and instantly brightens my skin.

I am a scrub junkie, so I really wanted to like this. As another reviewr noted, this can feel like sand paper, but I don't consider that a bad thing. My problem is that is smells like lemony bathroom cleaner to me, so I just can't use it. It's been relegated to the back of the closet for emergency purposes.

I'm a makeup and skincare junkie who can't stay put on a single brand and try different products, always searching for the best. I have several face scrubs/at-home microexfoliants and I use them depending on my need. I exfoliate 1-2x a week coz I have oily skin. Sometimes I use the gentle scrubs, but there are times I want the grittier ones to deliver better exfoliation. I have to say that this Body Shop refiner is the BEST in my stash. Firstly, I love the citrus smell, its energizing and gives me zesty cleansing feel as I'm using it. Secondly, it really exfoliates without stripping my skin of its moisture. My face doesn't feel tight after, skin feels very smooth and I'm glowing. I use this with the Body Shop Re-texturizing Peel and wow! it does what it says. The Vitamin C in it really works and wakes my skin up. This refiner and peel duo are my go-to products specially when I want great looking skin on special events coz my makeup looks better.

Her parents were the ones who taught her to work the inherited land. Now she works the land with her family. They grow coffee on the land, which is close to her house. The family gets there by walking.
Her plan for the future is to improve the variety of coffee that she grows. This way she will be able to attract more customers to buy her product and improve her income. Most importantly, she will be diversifying the grain.
As a mother, she plans to give her children the opportunity and the support so that they are able to prepare themselves academically. She will do this so that they are able to become professional people with life opportunities and with more business options.
Therefore, Beatriz has now requested a loan from the COMIXMUL cooperative. She will use the loan to buy agricultural supplies that will help her crop to have better foliage, to protect the plants from frost (climate factor), and to mainly prevent diseases in the grain like rust and insects like the berry borer.
Sus planes a futuro mejorar la variedad de café cultivada ya que de esa manera ella podrá atraer más clientes para la compra venta de su producto, mejorando sus ingresos y lo más importante diversificando el grano. Como madre de familia, dar la oportunidad a sus hijos y el apoyo para que ellos puedan prepararse académicamente y puedan ser personas profesionales con oportunidades en la vida y con más opciones de negocio.
Por lo que hoy en día Doña Beatriz ha solicitado financiamiento a la cooperativa COMIXMUL con la cual comprara insumos agrícolas que ayudaran a que sus cultivos tengan un mejor follaje, proteger la planta de heladas (factor clima) y principalmente de enfermedades en el grano como la roya, y bichos como la broca.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
These loans are designed for female farmers who produce a variety of products (onion, garlic, eggplant, spinach, mango, strawberries, etc.). Loan terms will vary depending on need, and borrowers can choose to make a "bullet" payment timed with harvest profits. Agricultural loans are considered risky in Honduras due to external forces like unpredictable weather and worldwide crop prices. As a result, many traditional financial institutions are unwilling to offer these loans. With Kiva funding, COMIXMUL will be able to reach more borrowers with agricultural loans tailored to their needs.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

I love this! I have it in Flushed and it looks really natural. (NC15) I apply it, and then a few minutes later apply it again or I find it's not dark enough. This is all I have been using lately. I love it.

I adore this blush! I am NW15 and purchased Flushed. It gives me a natural looking rosy flush. For a quick yet polished English Rose look, I wear tinted moisturizer, concealor, Flushed, a Prescriptives cream highlighter, Rimmel Addicted lip liner and Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker or Nivea Kiss of Flavor in Cherry. Flushed is neutral enough to wear with cool or warm lip colors, as well as blue-based or yellow-based reds. I like it with Revlon's Cherries in the Glow, NYC's Sheer Ruby gloss and L'Oreal's Raspberry Smoothie Juicy Tube. It is long lasting, yet washes off easily with cleanser and water. Unlike Tarte's cheek gels, it is not sticky at all. I debated between Flushed and Rosy, and did not pick Rosy because it looked just like Dollymix on my cheeks.

LOVE this. I used to use Benefit's Benetint but it is both difficult to apply and overapply. Plus I don't think it has great staying power. Pixi (in Rosy), however, is incredibly easy to apply, very natural and you only need a small amount. I like to vamp up the colour slightly so I apply a light wash of Givenchy Prism Again in Blush over the top and the Pixi really gives it staying power. Superb, especially in Dubai's hot and humid climate. I wish I had purchased more Pixi products now though cos I got this in London and I am not sure this brand is on sale here.

My skin: normal (closer to dry), medium with yellow undertones (Asian yellow).
I bought two tubes: Sunkissed for summer and Flushed for winter but I want to try out Rosy and Natural too, cause I'm a gel blush whore. >:D
I've pretty much only use cream/gel blushes because powder just sits on top of my somewhat-dry skin. It's VERY long-lasting on me (5-7ish hrs), but it may not be on you if your skin is more oily than mine. If you have oily or normal-oily skin, I imagine the gel might just "sit" on your skin as powder blushes do on mine.

I've been meaning to get this in "Flushed" for quite some time, but after stopping by Target 3+ times and never seeing it, I decided to settle for some of the other shades. Rosy and Natural probably wouldn't have flattered my skin tone at all (medium yellowy Asian). Sunkissed seemed as if it would work more as a bronzer, even though I wanted a blush. I decided to buy Sunkissed. When I opened the tube, I expected a browny color that I could use to contour my face, but it actually came out pink with brown undertones! It flatters my skin tone wonderfully, and it works beautifully on my summer skin. Flushed would probably be more suitable for my winter skin, but I will pick it up when I have the chance.

I am a big fan of gel blushes as they look more natural on my very fair skin. When L'Oreal discontinued its Translucide blush I was heartbroken. Well, thank goodness Pixi arrived and since it lasts forever I've paid the $18 twice at Target (though I'll try Ebay next time). I like Rosy, it makes me look healthy and flushed but not TOO flushed. A little goes a very long way, it blends well, and lasts all day. The tube is portable and I feel safe with it in my makeup bag. Definitely a HG product!

Let me tell you for a start that I never liked creme blushes or gel blushes, I never got along with the result they gave me.
I caved in and bought Pixi after reading the rave reviews here.
I have gotten this Cheek Gel in flushed... it looks cherry red in the tube I was almost terrified before application!
Instead, it's a marvellous, natural blushing color; goes on very very sheer and is moisturizing...
You would not tell you have makeup on, your cheeks get this wonderfully sexy colour, like you were running out in the snow.
it's great on bare skin and on foundation as well.
Get it if you have a chance, it's a wonder.

I just got this 6 hours ago in 'flushed' before I went to work, I couldn't resist, I just had to tried it. So I ripped the ebay package in a flash, and open the cute little tube with a blood-red gel inside. I checked with MUA before I bid for it on eBay. This is quite similar to Oriflame Cheek Gel I bought 5 years ago, but the colors are different. The oriflame one is very pinkish, which sometimes makes me looks like a clown or looked overheated..but this one, I love it! The color can be scary, yes but don't let that scare you off..I push the end of the tube and a little gel came out, just a teensy bit would be enough. The color came out reddish and not pink like I thought it would be. I looked instantly radiant! My skin is not pale, I have medium yellow undertoned asian skin and when it gets hot outside, my skin would be red by itself. But since I'm at the office with air conditioning, my skin would look pasty and dull, but not anymore! This doesn't last all day, probably last about 4 to 6 hours top. Bought on ebay for USD6, so I guess it's totally worth it! The main ingredient is aloe vera, so no doubt this gel would be very moisturizing. As far as being comedogenic, I can't tell for now, will update soon if it makes my skin irritated or breaking out :)

I just had to write a review about this product. I am so lazy when it comes to putting on makeup, that my blush always ended up looking horrible. I always wondered who bought these expensive cosmetics at Target, but one day I decided to look at the testers and give it a try.
I decided I needed a change and ended up buying this product in "Flushed" and I love it. It is so easy to apply, that even I look like a pro. I just put a little bit every morning and it stays all day, plus it looks very natural, not like the powder kind.
I love it, and it is definitely worth the $18 dlls, I will definitely keep buying it.

I have both Rosy and Natural and love them both. I have been using these for many years actually. I love gel blush and these are both very good. Nothing very special about them compared to other gel blushes but they perform well and the colors both work well for me. For some reason the price bothers me as blush at Target shouldn't really cost $18 should it? I mean, it's Target. Granted I had no problem paying that when I bought them from beauty.com a few years ago but now it just seems....wrong. Good product though. If you like gel blush this is a good one.

Alternate title: No Vacancy
Seven friends from Sacramento, California head out on a documented road trip to Las Vegas. Their trip takes a very unexpected turn for the worse when their back tires mysteriously blow out. A couple of miles down the road, they find a little gas station with a diner/motel, run by the most friendly, polite and "helpful" people. It appears that their problems are solved, but boy are they wrong. When convinced by their helpers to stay overnight, the friends wake up in their rooms to a new kind of gruesome and bloody terror. ~ Baseline StudioSystems

So I took it to a VW repair shop who replaced the bushings. They said they rotated the tires left to right and say I have a bad tire and can't do an alignment until it is replaced. I will take the car back to Pep Boys because the tires are new. In the meantime when I leave the VW repair shop, my car vibrates unbelieveably. It was better before the bushings were replaced. the vibration stops at 25-30 mph, then it rides great. Car goes back to Pep Boys and they tell me they don't see where it is a bad tire. they balanced both of them and they say it's good. They said the vibration is because I need motor mounts Why is the vibration and rattles so much worse after the bushings were replaced?
Does anyone have know where I can find a used boot cover for an 01 Cabrio?
2001 Cabrio- Cruise control stopped working. Does this run on a cable or could it be a fuse?
What causes drops of water to come out of the muffler after I start it up? Since this started, the muffler seems to vibrate also
Does anyone know where i can find a convertible boot cover for a 2001 Cabrio? Is there another name for them?
I am told the bushings need to be replaced on a 2001 Cabrio. Is this the same as a tie rod, or control arm?
My 2003 Murano has 60,000 miles on it but rides terrible. i have taken it to the shop 3 times and said it feels so rough, doesn't take bumps well, and is no longer a smooth ride. i got 4 new tires, alignment, and had them check the shocks. nobody knows why it bounces around. The dealer tells me it that both lower control arms are cracked and wants $900. I took it to pep Boys, and a local repair shop- both of them say they don't see it but don't know the problem. "shocks may need to be replaced but are not leaking". i took it to the dealer for a recall, and again they tell me to replace both control arms. if this is the logical answer, why does no other shop see this problem?
when i bought this car it needed front tires. The front end was very shaky. I got new tires for the front but it still pulled to the left. i took it to pep boys for an alignment and they said they couldn't do it there. they said they put it on the machine and said it wouldn't even give a full read out. They said I need to take it to the dealer. Is this correct?
Why is it so sluggish starting out?
The ac does not blow as hard. I took it to AAA repair shop. They piut a little freon in it and sent me home. I could tell on the drive home from there that it was still the same. AC is cold, but nothing changes at different temp. settings. Puttin it on "auto" at a low temp used to blow you out of the car. Do I take it back to same shop?

The Rainborowes: Pirates, Puritans [...]; HISTORY
Byline: AMANDA FOREMAN
The Rainborowes: Pirates, Puritans And A Family's Quest For The Promised Land Adrian Tinniswood Jonathan Cape [euro]33.35 ****
It's fashionable, nowadays, to denigrate the 'Special Relationship' between the US and Britain. Critics point to the latest international crisis to show that it no longer works, or never really existed.
This is a silly approach to an essential aspect of Anglospheric history. But few have bothered to explore the 400-year-old roots that anchor the relationship.
Adrian Tinniswood has written a masterful history of Olde and New England during the turbulent years of the Civil War. The Rainborowes is, on one level, a family narrative about a clan of seafarers in the 17th Century who travelled between Massachusetts and Wapping. But he also presents a skilled case for the intertwined nature of the Anglo-American psyche.
The most famous of the Rainborowes was Colonel Thomas (inset). A successful naval captain under Charles I, and a military commander under Oliver Cromwell, he became the first British politician to articulate the principle of universal suffrage.
Thomas belonged to the Levellers, whose political demands were ahead of their time: religious toleration, equality before the law, free trade, a written constitution, and a government of and for the people. It was during a heated clash with Cromwell in late October 1647 that Thomas uttered the words that have since become the cornerstone of modern democracy: 'The poorest he that is in England hath a life to live as the greatest he' How Col Thomas came to be so enlightened is one of the book's central questions. …

AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 4: THE SHOWSTOPPERS sounds like a very good night at your local karaoke bar. A dozen exceptional singers strut their stuff on standards, over instrumental tracks most often arranged to sound like the original versions of the songs. Everyone is a little too \"on\" -- flashy vocal acrobatics abound when occasional understatement might be more effective -- but all deliver fine performances of predictable pop. No one brings anything personal or original to the table, and that's a shame, because these kids really can sing.
If you like American Idol, and engage in voting for your favorites, you'll probably enjoy this album. But these familiar songs performed by copycats will sound a little "off" if you love the originals -- no matter how well performed these versions are. If you don't care about Anwar, Nikko, Scott, Carrie, or Bo, though, leave this one on the store rack.
Families can talk about the differences between each singer's styles. Even though they stem from the same show, how do they maintain their own sound? Is there a common way that each American Idol protégé approaches a song?

Daily News on Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Weapons, Terrorism and Related Issues
Aging Technology Endangers Pantex Nuclear Plant Security, Auditors Warn
WASHINGTON -- A deteriorating nuclear-weapon security system at the Pantex Plant in Texas could malfunction if it does not receive maintenance, the U.S. Energy Department inspector general warned in a report made public on Friday.
The technology had a projected "useful life" of two decades upon entering use in the 1990s and it is now in need of sustainment updates, an insider with a branch of the National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees U.S. nuclear weapons complex operations, told DOE auditors.
The facility near Amarillo switches out or fixes components in certain nuclear arms, and it carries out disassembly of weapons retired from the atomic arsenal. The protective apparatus is specifically designed to protect "Zone 4W," the sole area of the Texas plant involved in short-term storage of atomic armaments and "other nuclear explosive assembles," according to the Jan. 29 assessment.
Any failure in the defenses would necessitate the use of "compensatory measures" to shore up protections, according to NNSA and Pantex personnel. No details on the system are publicly available, and the IG report does not specify what security vulnerability could arise from any malfunction.
Existing regulations permit employment of stopgap protections, but overuse of such measures contributed to failures revealed in a July break-in at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee, DOE auditors said, citing previous findings.
The National Nuclear Security Administration has called for Pantex personnel to develop a proposal to "upgrade or replace" the Zone 4W security system, insiders with both organizations told auditors. Neither the National Nuclear Security Administration nor the plant's contract operator responded by press time to requests for further details.
The Texas facility is now operated by contractor B&W Pantex, a conglomerate managed by the firms Babcock & Wilcox, Bechtel National and Honeywell. A separate consortium of four private contractors is set to take over security and management of the Pantex and Y-12 sites on May 1.
Inspectors said the National Nuclear Security Administration "recognizes the potential security concern posed by the aging security system." Still, the agency as of November had not endorsed a "mission need statement" submitted three months earlier by Pantex personnel, they added; the Energy Department requires such statements in an effort to adhere to project time lines as well as cost and performance goals.
Separately, DOE investigators voiced concern over the dilapidated status of a number of nuclear-material holding structures at the Pantex Plant, but one site worker said delays in repairs to the buildings would pose no risk of accidents or security lapses.
The storage area is filled to roughly 86 percent of its capacity, the report states. A Pantex source told IG officials that the plant does not anticipate a space shortfall based on the average rate of eliminating unneeded parts, but the insider could not provide records to support the assertion.
The report also commends the Pantex Plant for surpassing its fiscal 2010 weapon disassembly goal by 26 percent and its fiscal 2011 dismantlement quota by 11 percent. The United States does not disclose the specific quantities of weapons it eliminates.

Syria's Makhlouf Says He Plans to Donate Profits to Charity
Syrian businessman Rami Makhlouf, a cousin of President Bashar Al-Assad, said he plans to donate profits from his investments to charity and will no longer be a "burden" on the country.
"I announce that I will not allow myself to be a burden on Syria, its people and president from now on," Makhlouf said in a press conference in the capital, Damascus, yesterday.
Makhlouf, who holds stakes in businesses including Syriatel Mobile Telecom SA, was one of 13 Syrian officials subject to European Union sanctions last month. In 2008, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Syriatel for its connection to the businessman and, in a statement, accused Makhlouf of using access to "high-level" officials to enrich himself.
A total of 1,289 civilians and 332 security forces have been killed in Syria since protests broke out in the country three months ago, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on June 12. The uprising, which has prompted as many at 10,000 Syrians to flee to Turkey, threatens to undermine the Assad family's 40-year rule of the Middle Eastern country.
Makhlouf linked Israel's stability to Syria's in an interview with the New York Times, the newspaper reported May 10. Syria's ruling elite will fight to the end, he told the newspaper.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Hartford's Erika Messam was hoping she'd get the opportunity to take the game-winning shot. Her coach,
Jennifer Rizzotti, was happy to oblige.
Messam's jump shot with 4.2 seconds left lifted Hartford to a 52-50 win over Boston University in the America East tournament
championship game Saturday.
"I wanted the ball in my hands," said Messam, the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. "I didn't say, 'Coach, get me the ball.'
But she gave me the opportunity to make the big play."
The win gives the Hawks (22-8) an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, their second in four years.
"This is what we've been working for and talking about all year," said Ikea Witt, who finished with 10 points and 10 boards for the Hawks. "Now, it's finally here. It's all fun now."
Adrienne Norris led Boston University (15-16) with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Katie Meinhardt, who had averaged 23.8 points in three
tournament victories, added 16 points.
Hartford led 40-31 after Danielle Matulis' basket with 13:15 left. Boston University then went on a 16-4 run, capped by Norris' basket, to lead by three with 7:36 remaining. It would be the Terriers' last field goal.
"There was an opportunity for us to open things up, but BU has a tough bunch of kids," Rizzotti said. "Adrienne Norris is a
senior and played like she didn't want her career to end. Katie Meinhardt played like she hasn't played for almost two years. It's
sad to have them go home as losers after what they accomplished the last four days."
Two free throws by Danielle Hood gave the Hawks a 50-49 lead with 3:39 to go, then Norris tied it with a free throw with 2:46
left. It remained that way until Messam's game-winning jumper hit the front rim and rolled in.
"It went straight up so I knew it would come straight down," said Messam, who finished with 20 points.
The Terriers had a chance in the final seconds, but Danielle Wexler blocked Meinhardt's shot and Hartford grabbed the loose
"She got a hand on it," Meinhardt said. "I thought I was fouled but the referee is not going to call that at that point. But
this was a great run."
The eighth-seeded Terriers had won three games to get to the final.
"I told my team that this was a tough, tough loss and they should be hurting," Boston University coach Kelly Greenberg said.

This is almost the same yellow cake that I've been baking since high school, for 44 years! The only difference is 3 cups of flour. I got this recipe from the Auburn University cookbook dated 1966; it's called "Standard Butter Cake". It tastes delicious, just as I'm sure yours does.

I made this recipe this afternoon and it was really, really good. I have also been trying out scratch recipes but didn't find anything as good as this. It's not as yellow as I expected with four yolks, but I'll just call it vanilla cake. Yum. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It will save me from baking another two dozen test recipes!

I'm going to try 1/2 c. real butter, and 1/2 c. shortening. I'm into cakes for the flavor, and try to use butter whenever possible, but sometimes shortening is necessary to achieve the best results in a recipe.

I tried this recipe twice! First time, came up short on flavor, so I added a bit more butter flavor and butter flavor shortening. The flavor was a bit better. So my search continues for scartch yellow cake.

This is really good. I don't like my butter flavoring, but in this cake, it tasted good. Enough batter to make an 8 x 3, 6 x 2 and a 5 x 2. I didn't change anything, except I used hi ratio shortening, and added 1/4 t spoon of almond extract. I use Penzey;s double strength vanilla. This is very good. It will be what I use. It did take it a long time for the 8 x 3 (as usual). It is not as yellow, so next time i might add yellow to it, or simply call it vanilla. Even my family likes it.

NCUA Promotes National Financial Literacy Month
NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz encouraged credit unions on Wednesday to help their members become smarter consumers during National Financial Literacy Month in April.
"Advancing financial literacy is a top priority for the NCUA, and it's a core mission for credit unions," Matz said. "While consumer education is a year-round effort, Financial Literacy Month is a good reminder about the importance of learning how to manage money and build financial security. Credit unions should use this month to help their members become smarter consumers."
