Release Notes: An error when seaching a table having many columns has been fixed. Minor security fixes were incorporated.
WebCert is a Web application to generate and manage digital certificates in cases where no "full" CA is needed. It is very handy for those who need a cert quickly and don't have the hang of the OpenSSL command line. It is very easy to deploy and to use.
Release Notes: The new certificate validation function "certvalidate.cgi" allows the analysis of the signing certificate chain, both for a local certificate or for a remote server. The implementation of SubjectAltNames now allows the creation of multi-purpose certificates. The obsolete "Netscape Comment" extension for server certificates has been removed. Submitted certificate requests are now signed including their requested extensions. Since version 1.7.4, WebCert's version control has moved to Github.
iptables is built on top of netfilter, the packet alteration framework for Linux 2.4.x and 2.6.x. It is a major rewrite of its predecessor ipchains, and is used to control packet filtering, Network Address Translation (masquerading, portforwarding, transparent proxying), and special effects such as packet mangling.
Release Notes: This release includes aliasing support, which translates command lines using obsolete extensions into new ones. The option parser now flags illegal negative numbers in some more extensions. A division by zero was resolved in libxt_limit as well.
The Userspace Logging Daemon (ulogd) is a flexible framework for extensive logging of packets on a firewall machine. ulogd uses the ULOG target of iptables/netfilter, the packet filtering framework of Linux 2.4 and 2.6. It supports binary plugins for adding packet interpreters and output-targets (e.g., for logging into databases, user-defined filetypes, etc.).
Release Notes: This release includes support for the nfacct extended iptables accounting infrastructure.
conntrack-tools is a set of userspace tools for Linux that allow system administrators to interact with the Connection Tracking System, the module which provides stateful packet inspection for iptables. It includes the userspace daemon conntrackd and the commandline interface conntrack.
Release Notes: This release adds the user-space helper infrastructure, which includes the RPC portmapper (to support NFSv3) and Oracle*TNS helpers.
libnetfilter_queue is a userspace library that provides an API for manipulating packets that have been queued by the kernel packet filter. It is is part of a system that deprecates the old ip_queue/libipq mechanism.
Release Notes: This release provides new interfaces to interact with libmnl.
libnetfilter_conntrack is a library that allows user-space programs to interface the kernel connection tracking table of the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel.
Release Notes: This release provides new interfaces to interact with libmnl, and also has several fixes.
libnfnetlink is a low-level userspace library for nfnetlink-based communication between the kernel-side netfilter and the user-space world. It is therefore the fundamental layer for all other nfnetlink-enabled user-space programs interfacing with the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel.
Release Notes: This release now understands how to handle the NLM_F_MULTI flag in messages, which is required to make conntrackd recognize interfaces mentioned in multi-part messages.
JSX serializes Java objects to XML. You can persist objects, evolve them, and send them over the network and between applications. Your object data becomes human-readable and human-writable. You can test it, search it, profile it, audit it, and edit it with ordinary text and XML tools. JSX handles all POJOs and also all classes that require Java's own object serialization. JSX also correctly and completely handles the content of Serializable classes - including when they evolve and add additional content, for both upgrading to a new version (e.g. of Java or third-party libraries) and downgrading to an older one. It does this by reusing a class's Serialization methods, which are maintained by the class's developer to handle its evolution.
Release Notes: This release adds Java 1.7 support, in particular class evolution from previous versions, including for java.util.Locale.
Finit is a small SysV init replacement with process supervision similar to that of daemontools and runit. Its focus is on small and embedded GNU/Linux systems, although it is fully functional on standard server and desktop installations. Finit is fast because it starts services in parallel; it then supervises and automatically restarts them if they fail. This can be extended upon with custom callbacks for all services, hooks into the boot process, or plugins to extend the functionality and adapt Finit to your needs. Finit is not only fast, it's arguably one of the easiest to get started with. A complete system can be booted with one simple configuration file.
Release Notes: This is a bugfix release. It cleans up the recorded PID of a service when it is lost (needed by callbacks). It fixes a segfault when parsing the new runparts directive in finit.conf (tried to free a static string).
xlife is a laboratory for experimenting with cellular automata. It supports loadable rulesets and palettes, different topologies, and up to 256-state cellular automata. It has rules and patterns for Life, Brian's Brain, Perrier's Loops, Langton's Ants and Loops, Wireworld, E.F. Codd's 1975 UCC automaton, some Prisoner's Dilemma games, and many others. It is very fast for step-by-step mode, bounded grid, and chaotic patterns. It has several unique features: a historical mode, a pseudocolor mode, and n-state statistics. It has been developed since 1989. The modern version of Xlife began its history in 2011.
Release Notes: Initial freecode release.
MySmartBB is a bulletin board system that aims to be powerful, secure, and use as few server resources as possible.
Release Notes: This release adds bugfixes and improves the codebase.
PHP OAuth API authorizes user access using the OAuth protocol. It abstracts OAuth 1.0, 1.0a, and 2.0 in the same class. It provides built-in support for popular OAuth servers: 37Signals, Amazon, Buffer, Bitbucket, Box.net, Dailymotion, Discogs, Disqus, Dropbox with OAuth 1.0 and 2.0, Etsy, Eventful, Facebook, Fitbit, Flickr, Foursquare, github, Google with OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0, Instagram, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Rdio, Reddit, RightSignature, Salesforce, Scoop.it, StockTwits, SurveyMonkey, Tumblr, Twitter, VK, Withings, Xero, XING, and Yahoo!. Every other OAuth server is supported by setting an endpoint URLs and other parameters using specific class variables or an external JSON configuration file. The class can also send requests to an API using the previously-obtained OAuth access token. For servers which support offline access, the class can renew expired tokens automatically using refresh tokens.
Release Notes: The releease adds an option to make API calls fail when there is an authorization error, adds the authorization_header configuration variable to determine if OAuth parameters should be passed via the HTTP Authorization header or via request URL parameters, add an example script to login with Yahoo, adds a check for access token retrieval errors in other example scripts, and fixes the API call response object to array conversion.
PHP HTTP protocol client is a PHP class for making HTTP requests. It can establish connections via SOCKS or proxy servers and establish secure connections (HTTPS) with optional SSL client certificates. It supports HTTP Basic, HTTP Digest, and NTLM (Windows or Samba) authentication mechanisms. It submits POST requests with user-defined form values, file uploading, or with user-defined request bodies. It handles cookies and automatic redirection handling. There is an addon class that logs in to Yahoo! and executes actions on behalf of the user, like exporting the address book or sending invitations to Yahoo! groups.
Release Notes: This release adds support to disable SASL authentication so it can perform OAuth authorization without prompting for SASL libraries.
Clonezilla is a partition or disk cloning tool similar to Symantec Ghost. It saves and restores only blocks in use on the hard drive if the file system is supported. For unsupported file systems, dd is used instead. It has been used to clone a 5 GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.
Release Notes: The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Oct/8). The Linux kernel was updated to 3.2.30-1. Partclone was updated to 0.2.54. A btrfs issue was fixed.
A LZMA lossless data compressor.

Gwyneth the next celebrity chef?
Page Tools
Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow says she has done it all in acting and she may consider a career change to become a chef.
The Shakespeare in Love star said she would probably have pursued a different career had she known how great the pressures of celebrity were.
"I understand that if you set out to be a celebrity, then you asked for it, but all I wanted to be was an actor," she said.
"I didn't know that it was going to turn into this kind of thing.
"If I had, then I would have majorly reassessed my decision. Because I don't think it's good for a family or relationships."
The 32-year-old told the latest edition of Interview magazine that her other great loves in life were art and cooking.
And she may still train for a career in the kitchen.
Asked what she would do instead of acting, she said: "I was very interested in art and art history, so I probably would have pursued that somehow, working in a gallery or an auction house or something like that.
"Or I would have loved to train to be a chef, which I still may do." After winning an Oscar, travelling the world and meeting her heroes from stage and screen, Paltrow feels she has achieved all her acting ambitions.
And her life has taken a turn for the better following her marriage to Coldplay front man Chris Martin, and the birth this year of their daughter, Apple.
"I just had a baby, so you have to take it with a grain of salt. But I do feel like I'm not going to work unless it's something that's really special and meaningful, because I can't imagine missing all that time with my daughter," she said.
"And I've done everything, you know? I've no ambition left in that arena."
Paltrow told the magazine she was happy splitting her life between London and New York.
She said the paparazzi has backed off her in London after she threatened to call in her lawyers - or even the police - to keep them at bay.
"I've been very verbal about my intention to do whatever is within my means legally, so people in London have begun backing off a bit because they know I can do something about it there," she said.

I had very dark spots/melasma all over my face. My doctor said she would start slow to see how I would tolerate the laser. She iced my face prior, and although it is uncomfortable, it's hardly unbearable. We chatted throughout the procedure. The spots do turn darker, then flake off. And, yes you do look a bit beat up for about a week, but nothing you can't hide with makeup. I've since had a few sessions, and I am very pleased with the results.

Please be certain to choose the right doctor. The color of your skin, your age, strength setting of the tool, and even the thickness of your skin all make a difference in the outcome.

About the Creator
Tom Medvedich is at the forefront of photography's new generation. His imagery rides the line between gritty and glossy, producing intense portraits that create a gripping emotional connection with the viewer. Medvedich's work continually deconstructs the cliche of photographers having to be specialized in only one shooting category. His images have been featured on multiple covers of The Source Magazine as well as in a worldwide campaign with Malibu Rum, which spanned 23 countries. Tom has also contributed to publications such as SPIN, Wonderland, Mass Appeal, Swindle, Inked, Resource, NJ Monthly, and American Spa Magazine, respectively. He is currently working on two books; NEITHER HERE NOR THERE, which showcases landscapes from places that he has visited and photographed over the years, and FRIENDLY FIRE, which is a project that examines the wide range of his social network by featuring portraits as well as an item that defines them. Both books are slated for release in 2009.

- Very Good
The site was easy to use and price was reasonable.
- The nature and attributes of God came alive and brought clarity to my reading of the bible. It help to correct errors I had in my thinking about my relationship with God.
Other than God's inspired word the Bible, this book has been the most transformational book I have ever read. I listen to listen along with Andrew Murray's book Humility and I haven't looked a Jesus the same. It brought clarity that I was made to worship God and what the process looked like that he used to draw me to him. The explanation of the corruption that took place in the garden, brought profound depth to what Paul is laying in Romans that we are all sinners. Every day that I lived with out Jesus Christ at the throne of my heart was a day lived in sin. It truly clarified for me why I should love God with all my heart, mind and soul. I was broken after reading this book. It helped bring such greater depth and clarity to my Bible reading and I praise the Lord for a raising up a man like A. W. Tozer to write this book.
- Sometimes the best books are the...
Sometimes the best books are the short ones. Knowledge of the Holy is perhaps, one of the best examples of this. What a beautiful, intellectual and heartfelt treatise on the attributes of God! This is currently my favourite book and I have listened to it at least three times in the last year (another advantage of the "short book") and have recently decided to teach a Sunday school class loosely based on this book. As you continue to listen, you may begin to worship our God and wonder how much more majesty and glory He has hidden from our eyes. A "must read".
- This relatively short work by...
This relatively short work by the late theologian is a good introduction to evangelical Christian theology. Tozer, who was able to see trends in the evangelical community that are apparent today, describes what the attributes of God are. This is theology in the literal sense. In this soberly written, though by no means dry or dense, work, Tozer advocates a return to a reverent view of God that would inform our lives and our actions. Scott Brick's narration is sober, measured, and deliberate, but never monotonous or devoid of feeling. His performance is an appropriate combination of sermon and lecture. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
- Beautiful book! I was reluctant at...
Beautiful book! I was reluctant at first, as the first few chapters read more like something written for theology students than literature majors, but then the eloquence of Tozer's descriptions of the attributes of God took over & I found myself caught up in the majesty of God's character with a new understanding of this God I worship & a desire to enter into His holiness as a response to His love for me! Highly recommended reading...life-changing!

Paper Dolls. These really take me back. And now with the knocked up version, they fit my lifestyle once again. These would be a great stocking stuffer or shower present for the pregnant woman in your life. Even comes with a paper baby.

misonyc's recommendation
Your pregnant friend will be a mother soon, but that doesn't mean she's lost her own girlish sense of play. And it definitely doesn't mean she's lost her sense of fantasy fashion. If you need a gift for this fun-loving, style-savvy mom-to-be, voÃÂla: This tongue-in-cheek set of paper dolls contains pages of cut-out maternity clothes and accessories for all three trimesters, plus some for the dreaded post-baby "fourth trimester." There's a tummy-appropriate doll for each period too, plus an oh-so-loveable infant paper doll. She can cover the first trimester likeness with chic low-rise jeans, tanks, and fitted blazers; by the third trimester, spandex sweatpants, shapeless dresses, and the overflowing toy box are the better bet! A fun gift for moms-to-be.

During that time he became board certified in EM. The EM certification opened the door for locum tenens work in various ERs and trauma centers on the East Coast of the U.S. from PA to FL. He also worked in Cody, WY and Guam for 9 months, both in the ER and with two multi-specialty groups, doing urgent care. Dr. Kochler has an enormous amount of clinical experience over 15 years in both EM and primary care. Through over a total of 30 years of clinical experience, he has acquired the expertise and a keen sense of "what to do, and what not to do". Much thought is given to every aspect of "dis-ease" in an extremely comprehensive process of deliberation, ie: (your root canals in your teeth may be "short circuiting" their associated organ system channel).
Pharmaceuticals may be appropriate for short term acute intervention, but are not well suited for life-long symptom suppression.
The current natural anti-aging medical practice continues to evolve weekly, as further information is constantly acquired from publications, networking with colleagues and collaborators, conferences, etc. The intention now, via the virtual format of the internet, is to try to reach more people throughout the Virginia region.

I'm trying to get Orcad Capture 16.5 to stop showing the part reference and element label by default. Especially in a large design, this presents a problem. Can you help me?
select schematic and RMB select Edit object properties and then select part reference column and RMB select display and then select DO NOT DISPLAY
There is a way to do this on a global basis. In your schematic go to the tool bar and select options preferences. Change the color of your part reference or part value to be the same as your "Background" color and those items will disappear. I use a background color of black so setting the reference dez etc to black works fairly good.
Not the most perfect solution in the world but it should work for you.
Thanks Scott

A hearing that was scheduled for Thursday morning to determine the fate of a Yonkers boys soccer player who allegedly shoved a referee was postponed until next week. The reason for the postponement was so that Section 1 officials could make sure that a lawyer is present for the hearing, according to a source close to the situation.
In a 3-2 loss to Scarsdale B on September 17 at Fleming Field, a penalty kick was called against Yonkers in the opening minute of overtime that resulted in the game-winning goal. Some players from Yonkers reacted harshly, drawing three red cards from referee Pat Godfrey.
Senior midfielder Chris Cruz drew a red card for cursing at Godfrey, and is being accused by the official of pushing him in the chest after receiving the card. The Yonkers athletic department is disputing the allegations.
I spoke to Yonkers coach Janet Ryan and president of the Westchester/Putnam approved soccer officials association Rich Leaf, who are both hoping to have this resolved ASAP. Ryan acknowledged that her players deserved red cards for their use of language, but denied that Cruz made any physical contact with Godfrey. CLICK HERE TO READ MY STORY IN ITS ENTIRETY.
Attempts to reach Section 1 officials for comment were unsuccessful.

Abercrombie Gets Backlash After Dissing The Situation
Abercrombie and Fitch is saying they don't want the Jersey Shore cast to ruin their brand! They told The Situation they will pay him a significant amount of money to quit wearing their clothes! They said, quote, "We are deeply concerned that The Situation's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image. We have offered a substantial payment to The Situation to wear an alternate brand. We have also extended this offer to other members of the cast, and are urgently awaiting a response." Now it looks like dissing The Situation has damaged their image. Since the announcement yesterday, the Abercrombie stock has fallen 9%. MTV is saying this was just a publicity stunt that backfired since they never actually contacted The Situation. DJ Pauly D tweeted, "Hmmm, if they don't want us to wear those clothes, why make GTL shirts? Your PR sucks."

I host a Public Affairs show on WIL in St. Louis & I had Jacqui Zancanata the President of Bi-State Pet Food Pantry as a guest on my show. While there are plenty of people food pantries, I had no idea there were pet food pantries! Jacqui was an eloquent speaker & explained how easily the need can happen, they don't judge & sometimes it's just a one time need. Again, Great Nonprofits helped me find Bi-State Pet Food Pantry. If you want to help a pet organization, this one is at the top of my list.
Summer 2010: Times were tough and getting tougher, and not just at our house. Unemployment, financial losses, foreclosure, was that all the 10:00 news had to offer? I was about to tune out when I heard…what's that? Somebody is giving away pet food? To keep the pets at home and out of shelters? Stay tuned.
Fall 2010: With unemployment benefits exhausted, I found myself in the (now very long) line of recipients at the Bi-State Pet Food Pantry. I filled out paperwork, presented proof of need, and gratefully waited my turn to accept pet food and compassion. As I left I vowed to repay these angels - the very minute I landed my next great job.
Spring 2011: Still no job, great or otherwise. Pet Food Pantry, meet your newest volunteer! Sweat equity!
"Keeping Pets and People Together" is the Pantry's Motto and what the Pantry does. With the growing need for help, the distribution line grow longer every month. And yet, the pantry always comes through and in the process, treats volunteers and recipients alike with respect, friendship and a large dose of humor.
Previous Stories
As a client served as well as a (new) volunteer I can tell you that these people are angels. That is a word frequently heard from people in line waiting to receive, or who have just received, a month's supply of pet food that will enable them/us to keep their pets as they battle these tough economic times.
The Pantry is a wonderful oganization filled with people that actually care about folks in our community and their pets. I am so proud to be a part of Bi-State Pet Food Pantry. The volunteers are spectacular...always stepping up to help. It is one of the best feeings in the world to help others and their pets.
Bi-State Pet Food Pantry is an amazing organization that allows people to stay with their animals. In this economy so many people can't afford to feed their pets alone themselves. Not only to we help keep their animals fed, it helps them from doing desperate measures like letting them out on the streets or taking to the Humane Society. I am so proud to be apart of this amazing group!
This organization is for the "Familys" of animal lovers. What a fantastic idea that needs a larger platform to really propel this great cause into the lime-light. Since, I have known the creators of this pantry, they have always had the goal of the animals in mind and have never varied from it. The Animals Welfare of 2012 is a strong sentence that needs to keep going well into the year and for years to come. I am a proud follower of this charity and good friend to them when they send out the call.
What can I say about this place? They do absolutely great work in the community. They help keep pets with their guardians during financially difficult times. This means less animals abandoned and less animals in shelters. What's not to like about that? All of the people that volunteer here really do care about their community.
The unconditional love given by a beloved dog, cat, or other furry or feathered friend is a positive force when life is good, but especially when times get rough. To have to give up your pet because you have hit a rough patch can make everything so much worse. The work of BI-State Pet Food Pantry allows individuals and families to keep their pets by providing pet food to those in need. This is an important organization, not just because they are preventing animals from going hungry or being put in to the pet adoption system, but because the service they provide enables the human owners to continue to give and receive the love of their pets at a time when they really need it.
The people who started and run this charity are truly passionate about helping keep people keep their pets during hard times. It's great, the work they do for animals but, they also provide much more than that. To a lot of people, pets are their family and some people actually NEED their pets. Pets have been shown to help people live longer, healthier and happier lives. So, in short, the Bi-State Pet Food Pantry helps just as many people as they do their pets. Wonderful charity to give your time, money or food to. Great people with big hearts doing a lot of work to keep families together.
Truly great grassroots charity, built from the ground up. Love what they do for the community, I have donated before and will definitely donate again.
Bi-State Pet Food Pantry is a great resource for the St. Louis area. Helping people keep their pets is an amazing feeling. I could never imagine choosing between my bills or feeding my pets. Bi-State helps solve that dilemma for many families. The pantry has several ways people can volunteer, so there is something for everyone. Bi-State is a great organization that I am proud to be a volunteer for.

Egyptair has ordered three high gross-weight Boeing 777-200s, expanding the US airframe builder's firm orderbook to 167. At the same time, however, Boeing predicts that its 1996 deliveries will fall for the fourth consecutive year.
The predicted 1996 delivery tally of 210, compared with 235 for 1995, was foreshadowed in early July when the company announced plans to cut narrowbody production rates from mid-1996 onwards (Flight International, 12-18 July).
The dip reflects the time-lag of order cancellations in 1993/4 and is expected to be followed by a steady climb from 1997 as orders for the next-generation 737 family and 777 take effect.
To underline the impact of the recent recession, 1996 deliveries will reach less than half the total achieved during Boeing's record year in 1992. In that year, 441 were delivered.
Deliveries in 1997 will be swelled by the hand-over of the first aircraft from Egyptair's $400 million order. The Cairo-based carrier has opted for a tri-class 308 passenger seating arrangement. Egyptair recently ordered three Airbus A340s.
Boeing has denied recent reports that it has signed a deal for 15 777s worth $1.9 billion with Air China. "We don't know where that came from. We are still negotiating with them, as is Airbus," says the company.
Meanwhile the first 777-200 for All Nippon Airways (ANA) is expected to make its maiden flight on 31 August.
The aircraft is due to be delivered to ANA in early October. British Airways, the second airline after United Airlines to take the 777 and the first to have the General Electric GE90-powered version, is expected to have its first 777 delivered around 28/29 September.

Our back story - My LO (little one) is 5 1/2 months and has been EBF (extended breastfeeding, exclusively breastfeeding) with BM in bottles for daycare. Everything was going well - had no concerns with BFing - until a month ago. We went on vacation and LO (little one) got RSV (at the same time none-the-less) and everything went hay-wire. LO used to sleep from 9:30/10pm-5am, eat, then back to sleep til 8am, then would eat about every 2-3 hours. Then vacation/RSV hit and LO (little one) wakes up every 1.5-3 hours at night to eat and wants to eat every 1.5-2 hours during the day. I also got sick on vacation and I think my supply tanked then. On the days I worked I used to pump a total of 5-6oz per pump session and now I only pump 2-3oz per session. LO eats 5 - 3.5oz bottles at daycare (7am-4:30pm) and then 1 or 2 3.5oz bottles for DH (dear husband) after he picks them up from daycare until I get home between 8-9pm.
I can't understand why LO (little one) eats so frequently during the day. I feel like if she would go longer in between feeds then there would be more milk in my boob for her, right? Well last night she slept til from 9p-5a! YEA! I was so excited. So I fed her from left boob until she was done & feel asleep then went downstairs and pumped off my right boob - got 6oz! YEA! Then we got up this AM and LO (little one) ate off my right boob (3 1/2 hours after pumping) for about 15 minutes and I pumped my left boob when she was done and only got 1.5oz! I know babies do so much better at getting the milk out, but even so - I don't think she got enough! No wonder why she wants to eat so often - if she's only getting around 1.5oz when the boob hasn't been fed off of for 3+ hours then she's obviously is not getting enough! She has plenty of wet diapers and poops every few days. She's always been low on the growth curve - but so is my ODD. She weighed 13 pounds a month ago.
I eat oatmeal, drink water like a fish, take fenugreek (6 capsules a day), drink gatorade. I pump every 3-4 hours at work and can't pump more frequently due to my job. Usually at home I just feed on demand but was questioning my supply when LO (little one) was wanting to eat every 1-2 hours and my pumping supply tanked at work. This has been going on for a month now. I've tried pumping at home once or twice a day, but it's hard when LO (little one) is eating so frequently and I am already freaking out she's not getting enough so I don't want to pump it off and have even less for her.
I need suggestions or encouragement to keep going. I don't have much of a freezer stash and I barely make enough for her at daycare so sometimes my DH (dear husband) has to use some freezer stash in the evenings so my little stash is dwindling fast.
Please help!

Beauty Test Drive: Kevyn Aucoin's Sensual Skin Enhancer
My pale, winter skin had set in, and I needed to update my go-to concealer for a lighter shade. Instead of purchasing the same solution, I opted to try the well-reviewed Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer. This product claims to nourish skin with jojoba and honey, while providing waterproof, crease proof, and transfer resistant coverage. Ha, yeah right. As someone who has struggled to find concealer to cover dark under eye circles, I was skeptical. If this product could provide the coverage I desired, the nourishing powers would simply be a bonus.
Price/Availability: $48, Beauty Bar
Formula: When purchasing this tiny tub, my first reaction was "this shit is expensive." Upon opening and touching this concoction, what I would have assumed to be a lightly whipped concealer was actually quite dense. Just dipping the tip of my finger into it picked up too much! The smallest dab of this product under each eye was more than enough.
Application: Blending this tacky concealer under each eye requires a combination of patting and smudging. The results as you can see are shocking. I could no longer see my dark circles. In fact, I could probably doodle on my face with a Sharpie and cover it up with this stuff. (Not that I'm actually going to try that.) Under the harsh bathroom lights, the concealer was noticeable until I blended in my mineral foundation.
Overall: Um, I'm hooked. Fourteen hours later, I showed no trace of dark under eye circles. I estimate this tiny tub will provide many months of coverage, and if the product improves fine lines over time, it's definitely worth the $48 price tag. In fact, I'd call it a bargain.
Rating: 5/5

PERTH (Reuters) - South Africa skipper Graeme Smith is hoping all-rounder Jacques Kallis will be fit to bat and that the tourists' much-celebrated bowling unit finally clicks in the third test showdown with Australia this week.
Kallis has already been ruled out of a bowling role after suffering a hamstring injury in the second test in Adelaide, which like the first test in Brisbane ended in a draw to send the series to Perth all square.
"I think Jacques is coming along nicely and we'll wait to see how he comes through today and tomorrow morning," he told reporters. "Hopefully he'll wake up tomorrow morning and be good to go. It'd be nice.
"If Jacques is picked he'll have to (field) because we're not going to get any substitutes for him and we're not going to play with 10 men, we've already done that twice in this series.
"We won't take that decision lightly, if he's not fit, we'll get someone else to play his role in the game."
Smith said paceman Vernon Philander, who missed the second test with a back injury, was ready to rejoin Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel in the bowling attack on what is expected to be a lively surface at the WACA.
The South African fast bowlers arrived in Australia with a huge reputation but have disappointed on the tour so far, hampered by good pitches and some fine Australian batting.
"We've bowled well in patches but we haven't done it for long enough," Smith conceded.
"The wickets have been good and we haven't stacked up enough together and often enough. Australia have attacked us at the right time, which has put pressure on us.
"(But) we know we have that capability and hopefully it'll all click for us over the next five days.
South Africa need a draw in the final test of the series against Australia to retain their position as the world's top test team but Smith made it clear they did not reach such lofty heights with modest aspirations.
"There were always going to be challenges along the way," he told reporters on Thursday.
"To be here, five days away from another series win in Australia, many teams dream of that coming to this place.
"There's clarity over the next five days. We have had a few disruptions on this trip but we've scrapped hard. Australia have played really well, and we haven't been at our best, and we're still here."
If South Africa go with a spinner in Perth, as Smith suggested they would, left-armer Robbie Petersen is likely to return for his first test in four years in place of Imran Tahir, who accumulated figures of 0-260 in Adelaide.
"I think Robbie has come into contention, I think Imran, to his own admittance, has not performed that well over the last test match," Smith said.
Smith paid fulsome praise to Ricky Ponting, who said on Thursday he would be retiring from international cricket after the Perth test, but said it was by no means certain that the announcement would add motivation for the Australians.
"Maybe," he said. "That's not for us to worry about. Our job is to get us ready to compete. From our perspective, nothing really changes."

Interview: Problems at Vermont State Hospital
09/25/03 12:00AM By Mitch Wertlieb
| Download MP3
(Mitch Wertlieb) The Vermont State Hospital has decided not to challenge a federal decision to withhold up to $700,000 in funding. The hospital's recent troubles have been well chronicled following an inspection report that listed a number of deficiencies in treatment and staffing, and two patient suicides in the last month alone.
But hospital officials say they will make efforts to improve operations, and re-apply for the federal support dollars in the future. Joining us to talk about those efforts is Susan Besio, Vermont's Mental Health Commissioner. Doctor Besio, thank you for speaking with us.

Just so we all know what the title of this blog means, "Wiki Love" is the name of the Wikia Achievement track for editing on consecutive days. You get achievements for contributing on 5, 14, 30, 60, 100, 200, and 365 days consecutively. We've dubbed them "Deadly!", "Crazy!", "Bingo!", "Awesome!", "Stylish!", "SShowtime!!", and "Smokin' Sick Style!!!", respectively. If you haven't been able to tell, I'm aiming to get all of them. Call me crazy, but I'm shooting for 365 days of consecutive edits.
After nearly 110 days of success, Wikia has decided to reset my counter. And it's not because I actually skipped a day--I checked my "Contributions" page and, according to my time zone and contributions log, I have made some contribution every day for the past 100 days. I still have no idea why Wikia decided to reset my counter. I have to be honest and say that I have pulled some tricks to make it happen. When I first started this quest, I "lived" on the west coast, according to my time zone on my preference page, (I've since changed it to my own time zone.) Also, once, when I was working evenings and didn't get home until about half an hour before midnight because of overtime, I quickly "moved" to Canada to give myself two extra hours in the day with which to edit... I have since moved back, by the way.
But the spirit of the achievement was never in danger. I have been here, at least once every 24 hours, for over a hundred days. Why Wikia decided to reset my counter, I may never know. If I could turn back time and do one thing differently, it would be to have made an edit on Friday, July 6th, 2012 before 11:00 p.m. CST. Since I cannot do that, I can only sit and weep silently as I decide if the Achievement is worth starting over.
Update: I contacted Wikia support about this, and this is what Timothy Quievryn of the Wikia Support Team had to say:
- "What happened to you with the consecutive day counter is an unfortunate edge case Wikia is aware of and is currently working on a work-around for. It is actually not a bug. The achievements count 1 day as /server time/. Server time is in UTC (like most global computers) and thus, even though in your time zone you were editing on consecutive days, there was a 32 hour different between your contribs on the 5th and 6th, and thus a full 24-hour UTC day passed within that period. We understand the confusion about this and please accept our apologies - you are not alone in having this happen to you and as I previously said Wikia does want to make a work-around soon."

The Epitome of a StepDaddy!
"Excuse me Scott, are you married?"
"Good, cause my mommy needs a husband"
This was the conversation nine years ago when my now husband came to my house to have dinner with me and my daughter for the FIRST time. The ground could have opened up and swallowed me whole! And all I could muster to say was "I did NOT tell her to say that!"
Katana was only five years old at the time and I managed not to choke on my homemade macaroni and cheese, broccoli and fried chicken….I still remember the exact meal 🙂
I was a single mom at the time, having gone through a divorce from her biological father. I was dealing with all the emotions that comes with. I did not want a failed marriage. I did not want to be a single mother……didn't want to be a stereotype. But I had a good career and I was determined to thrive and ensure that she did as well. Plus there was no need to dwell on what 'didn't' work….it was what it was.
When Scott came into our lives, it was a while before he met Katana. I just believed that adults need to decide what they are going to do before children get involved. From the moment they met they have always had a very special connection. I saw it with him and I also saw she had the same connection with my father….her Papa.
Weird to say, but I felt as if I could give her everything within my power but I could not give her that connection or that special bond girls have with their father. She loved her Nana, but she looooved her Papa.
I don't even know if it is articulable because both my sister and I are daddy's girls.
Anyway, Scott came into our lives and from day one (even as we ironed out the dynamics of our relationship), he was there! To give piggy back rides, pick her up from school, play video games, eat dinner, watch the first tooth get pulled, watch her ride her bike in 'speed mode' and fall and chip a tooth. To celebrate birthdays and every holiday, to be there for graduations and special events and to share their own father daughter dance at our wedding 5 years later 😉
Are you halfway there?
"Even the snail made the ark!"
Did you set some goals and resolutions at the beginning of the year? We are almost halfway through the year, are you also halfway through those goals and resolutions?
I made some too. I am on track with some, but some….not so much. I've realized that many times we don't give ourselves much needed encouragement for progress. For many of us, accomplishing our goals means a 180 degrees shift in our habits. But those pesky bad habits take so much unconditioning!
It takes a sharp focus, and a constant reminder of how bad we want it…..
how bad do we want to have a certain amount saved up?
how bad do we want to be at that particular weight?
how bad do we want that degree?
how bad do we want to own our own home?
how bad do we want our business to thrive?
how bad do we want to know scripture?
how bad do we want it?……..
I wanted to merely encourage you today, if you started off hot and sweaty on January 1st, 2016, but fell off way before today, get back on track….
I heard someone say "even the snail made the ark". That tickled me, but it is true. Progress is progress.
Change takes time, but change isn't change until you change…..
You can do this! We can do this!
Have a great and productive week 🙂 🙂
Blessings always.
Who is waiting for you to be obedient?
"Somebody in need is waiting on the other side of your obedience"
I was listening to a podcast today and heard this quote. It just struck me in that place of unfinished to do lists 🙂
You know all those things that you've been putting off? That place.
Have you ever closed your eyes and envisioned the number of people who are waiting for you to be obedient?
Waiting to read and benefit from the book(s) you haven't written….
Waiting to eat from what you can teach them if you made the investment to learn more….
Waiting to benefit from your leadership as you step up….
Waiting for you to accept that it's not about you.
Even when you 'get around' to it, delayed obedience is still disobedience.
So many times we feel the pull of what could be. We have desires that God has given us, but we procrastinate and drag our feet….wasting time. We lose our focus and allow so many things to distract us.
We all have something that we are to serve to others that we do better than anybody else. What is your thing?
I am such a proponent for living on purpose. For investing in one's self so that others can benefit from us being the best that we can be. That's success.
There would be nothing worse to me than climbing the ladder to success and then realize that the ladder was against the wrong wall 😦
So I encourage you today…….start writing that book (20 minutes a day)
go back to school….
memorize scripture…
start that business….
get that certificate and hone in your skills….
I don't know what it is for you, but I bet someone is waiting to benefit from what you have to share.
Have a great week 🙂
When has the past had enough of your attention?
Do you find yourself dwelling on the past?
Thinking about it…….
Talking about it……
Dwelling on it…..
Stewing about it…..?
Whatever we give attention to, we are giving energy to. We are giving past situations, past hurts, past feelings, past failures, past disappointments, and past grudges, life.
We regurgitate it: throw it up and then eat it again…..over and over again. We won't let it die, we won't let ourselves get over it. And most times when we do this it is when we believe we are right. And we may be right, BUT, we retard our progress when we cannot move beyond what happened.
Can I say that this sneaks up on us sometimes? Our lives are going in the direction we are looking and we don't realize which way we are looking (past or future), until we start monitoring what we are saying. After all, our mouths speak out of the abundance of our hearts.
Listen to what you talk about, what you rage about, what you complain about!
About two weeks ago, I actually went home from work and realized that I complained about everything that day. I have been waiting for my work assignment to change and because it is taking way longer than is typical, it impacted my attitude. I said to myself "uh no ma'am, you need to pull this together!". So I got out a journal and wrote a whole page of gratitude. I immediately felt better. I decided that I would do it for 30 days, or longer, and challenged myself to not complain about ANYTHING. About traffic, the weather, food, work, people, family, church……NOTHING!
I realized how easy or natural it is for us to slip into that negative space, that negative place in our heads unless we have something intentionally in place to point us to ALL that we have to be THANKFUL for.
So monitor your thoughts and words and see in which direction they are driving you……..
Have a blessed week!
Blessings always..
Time waits for no man…..
Today for my weekly post I was fairly sure I knew what I was going to write about. That is, until I happen to log into Facebook. As I was scrolling through I came across the news that a high school mate had passed.
As a homicide detective, I deal with death in some way or form almost everyday. But I felt a little shock on finding this out……a light gone out of childhood eyes 😦
Someone summed up my feelings accurately "As children we never really expect to die"
Sitting at my desk I felt this sobering nervous dread because time is really going by. You know that feeling when someone passes who was close to your age?
Time waits on no man or woman…..so
Love while you still can…
Forgive while you still can…
Serve while you still can…
Live on purpose while you still can…
Find out who YOU are while you still can……AND
Be the best YOU while you still can…..
Blessings always
Is God Enough?

Throughout the week, LGBT organizations have jumped to the rescue of the Resource Center food pantry, providing some variety, but the stock remains low. The pantry distributes more than seven tons of food a week.
North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tony Vedda sent a letter to more than 300 member businesses. He reminded them of why the pantry came into existence.
"The gay & lesbian community (as it was called at the time) took care of its own; no one else would," he wrote. "Making sure that people with HIV/AIDS had food to eat was essential to their survival."
He asked each business to make a $25 donation, which would total $7,500 in donations for food from the chamber.
Anyone who brings five cans to Fashionista GayBingo at S4 this weekend will be entered into a drawing for a variety of prizes including tickets to future GayBingo and GayBingo North.
Stonewall Democrats of Dallas passed a hat at their meeting on Tuesday and sent Resource Center a check for $500. Log Cabin Republicans meets at Acme Social Club, 4900 McKinney at 6:30 tonight and will also be collecting.
Several of the bars are collection points for food including Dallas Eagle, JR.'s Bar & Grill and the Round-Up Saloon.
Dallas Voice is doing its own food drive and is a collection point for canned goods. Anyone who lives or works in the area is welcome to drop off canned food at the office during business hours. Items may be dropped at Dallas Voice, 4145 Travis St., Third Floor off Mon.–Fri. from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

New York NY (SPX) Apr 27, 2014
EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization that focuses on conservation and global public health issues, published a comprehensive review today examining the current state of knowledge of the deadly Ebola and Marburg virus.
The review calls for improved global surveillance strategies to combat the emergence of infectious diseases such as the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa that has claimed the lives of 122 people in the countries of Guinea and Liberia.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the deadly Ebola virus can cause mortality rates up to 90 percent of those individuals who contract the disease. No cure or vaccine exists for Ebola hemorrhagic fever and public health officials are concerned about further spread of the virus in the region.
The virus is transmitted from person to person through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids, but the origin of each outbreak is ultimately linked to wildlife. The consumption of bushmeat in Guinea may possibly serve as the transmission point from wildlife to human populations for the disease. Guinea has forbidden the sale and consumption of bats, which serve as natural reservoirs of the virus, and warned against eating rats and monkeys in its effort to keep the illness from spreading.
Since the late 1970s, Ebola outbreaks have sporadically erupted in various parts of Africa, and experts report this is the worst outbreak in the past 7 years. Historically, Ebola outbreaks have been contained through quarantine and public health measures, but where and when the next outbreak will emerge still remains a mystery.
"Our scientists have developed a strategy to predict where the next new viruses from wildlife will emerge and affect people. These zoonotic viruses cause significant loss in life, create panic and disrupt the economics of an entire region," said Dr. Peter Daszak, Disease Ecologist and President of EcoHealth Alliance.
"Our research shows that focusing surveillance on viruses in bats, rodents and non-human primates (a "SMART surveillance approach), and understanding what's disrupting these species' ecology is the best strategy to predict and prevent local outbreaks and pandemic disease," Daszak continued.
The study, published by EcoHealth Alliance's Dr. Kevin Olival and Dr. David Hayman from Massey University, reviewed all of the current literature on filoviruses - the class of viruses that include both Ebola and Marburg virus - and took a critical look at the ecological and virological methods needed to understand these viruses to protect human health.
As part of the study, EcoHealth Alliance's modeling team mapped the geographic distribution of all known bat hosts for these viruses, and found that Guinea and Liberia lie within the expected range of Zaire Ebola - the strain responsible for the current outbreak. The team highlighted the need for more unified and improved global surveillance strategies to monitor outbreak events around the globe in wildlife.
"We are in the beginning stages of developing early warning systems to identify disease "spillover" events from wildlife to humans before they occur, but much work remains to be done. It's an exciting time where ecology, disease surveillance, mathematical modeling, and policy are all critically converging towards the goal of pandemic prevention," said Dr. Kevin Olival, Senior Research Scientist at EcoHealth Alliance.
"Our work on bat ecology is specifically important since we know that they are reservoirs for a number of viruses, including Ebola and Marburg. Bat species are critical to the health of ecosystems and disease studies must be conducted with conservation as a integral component," he continued.
EcoHealth Alliance continues to work around the globe to study and uncover the ecological drivers of disease emergence. It is estimated that 15 million people die from infectious disease each year with more than half of those afflicted being children.
For that reason alone, EcoHealth Alliance's research to find the reservoirs of potentially deadly diseases in wildlife and its research to discover how disease spillovers occur make it crucially important conservation-focused work.
The journal, Viruses, published the paper entitled, Filoviruses in Bats: Current Knowledge and Future Directions, and can be accessed online for download here
