Allwinner A23 "Sun8i" Support Gets Cleaned Up For The Linux Kernel
Published on 17 June 2014 12:49 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
5 Comments
Developers have put out their latest batch of Allwinner patches that allow for basic upstream kernel support of Allwinner's A23 SoC.
The Allwinner A23 SoC is a dual-core Cortex-A7 part that's been out since last year. The A23 isn't impressive by other tier-one ARM SoCs, but it's low-cost and with the A23 System-on-a-Chip they switched from using PowerVR graphics to instead using ARM's Mali with their new designs.
The Linux kernel's support for the A23 is being dubbed "sun8i" and builds upon the A20 and A31 SoC designs. Allwinner Linux fans wanting to learn more about these latest A23 SoC patches -- which will now land in the Linux 3.17 kernel at the earliest -- see
the new patch series
on the Linux kernel mailing list.

What Can We Do?
I am writing this chronicle in the plane to Washington. I am coming from a very interesting meeting with Christian leaders. As you can imagine we talked about religious freedom. In the past that kind of topic did not come naturally in the discussion. We had to provoke it and it was not always well received. Some of my friends thought that religious freedom bore in itself the seeds of chaos and division. Some others thought that it was not an issue. Why? God had given their country to their Church: "We have been here for generations and we don't need others." Of course no one asked: "But before you came, who was here?"
Looking at history we realize that there is always a "before". Before the Christians, before the Muslims, before the Buddhists, before the Incas. There is always a "before" and an "after" as people and cultures are constantly changing. Religion can be a real blessing for people when it is freely accepted and not imposed.
The religious freedom issue is present in the news almost daily: forced conversions, executions of those who don't want to be converted, and assassinations of those accused of blasphemy or apostasy. It has become impossible for a group of religious leaders to spend time together listening to reports from the world without asking the question: "What are we doing to help those who are persecuted? What are we doing to protect our own freedom?"
To speak is not enough, but it is a beginning. To hold events, gatherings, to collect signatures is not enough, but it is a good way to increase the awareness.
I was pleased to read that the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church had asked the President of Pakistan to give his pardon to Asia Bibi. But during the same time a Christian couple accused, by rumor of blasphemy, was beaten then burned alive. This kind of crime has become a method to eliminate competitors. Religion is used but the real motive is often jealousy. Only a fair investigation could reveal that.
In a number of cases we have the following scenario: A rumor of blasphemy is spread. From the mosque a call to punish is given and a mob is immediately formed, even before there is any investigation. A human target is publicly named which leads to their execution. What can we do?
It will be difficult change the law and the tradition, but we cannot keep silence, as innocents are victims of such outrageous crimes. I am convinced we can do something. We can ask governments of democratic countries to encourage Pakistan to protect the rights of its citizens and to arrest and condemn the criminals. Some may argue that religious freedom is not a priority for the majority of the people living there. But let's say: "What about justice?" Is there a government in the world which could say publicly: "Sorry, but justice is not a priority."?
What can we do? We can ask, by letters, petitions and rallies, that justice be done, that the innocent be protected and murders arrested and judged. Is it asking too much of a government? It will not change the fact there is no religious freedom in some parts of the world but it will at least give a legitimate protection to all people, including religious minorities.
--John Graz, Secretary General, International Religious Liberty Association

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
NRA scoffs at Obama photo
Picture showing president firing gun draws their fire
WASHINGTON -- Two days before U.S. President Barack Obama's first trip outside Washington to promote his gun-control proposals, the White House tried to settle a brewing mystery when it released a photo to back his claim to be a skeet shooter.
Obama had set inquiring minds spinning when, in an interview with The New Republic magazine, he answered "yes" when asked if he had ever fired a gun. The admission came as a surprise to many.
"Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," Obama said in the interview released last weekend, referring to the official presidential retreat in rural Maryland, which he last visited in October while campaigning for re-election. Asked whether the entire family participates, the president said: "Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there."
Few could recall Obama ever talking about firing a gun or going skeet shooting "all the time."
The official White House photo released Saturday is dated Aug. 4, 2012. The caption says Obama is shooting clay targets on the range at Camp David. Obama is seen holding a gun against his left shoulder, his left index finger on the trigger and smoke coming from the barrel. He is wearing jeans, a dark blue, short-sleeved polo shirt, sunglasses and earmuffs.
The National Rifle Association, which has rejected Obama's proposals, scoffed at the photo.
"One picture does not erase a lifetime of supporting every gun ban and every gun-control scheme imaginable," said Andrew Arulanandam, the influential gun rights lobbying group's spokesman.
The NRA opposes Obama's call for Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and says requiring background checks for all gun purchases would be ineffective because the administration isn't doing enough to enforce existing gun laws.
Asked at Monday's press briefing how frequently Obama shoots skeet and whether photos existed, White House press secretary Jay Carney said he didn't know how often. Pictures may exist, he said, but he hadn't seen any.
"Why haven't we heard about it before?" Carney was asked.
"Because when he goes to Camp David, he goes to spend time with his family and friends and relax, not to produce photographs," Carney said.
Obama is accompanied almost everywhere by at least one White House photographer.
Carney declined to comment on the decision to release the photo, which he had announced on Twitter. The release appeared to be part of a strategy to portray Obama as sympathetic to gun owners and opponents of his gun-control measures who argue the proposals would infringe on an individual's right to bear arms which is guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
A top official with the National Skeet Shooting Association said the photo suggests Obama is a novice shooter.
"This isn't something he's done very often because of how he's standing, how he has the gun mounted," said Michael Hampton, executive director of the San Antonio-based association.
Hampton said Obama's remark about "skeet shooting all the time" and the White House photo would have met less skepticism had the president's spoken about his hobby months before this new debate over guns in the U.S.
In the interview, which appears in the Feb. 11 issue of The New Republic, Obama said gun-control advocates should be better listeners in this latest debate over firearms in the U.S. He also declared his deep respect for the tradition of hunting in the U.S., which dates back generations.
"I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations," Obama said. "And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake. Part of being able to move this forward is understanding the reality of guns in urban areas are very different from the realities of guns in rural areas. And if you grew up and your dad gave you a hunting rifle when you were 10, and you went out and spent the day with him and your uncles, and that became part of your family's traditions, you can see why you'd be pretty protective of that."

How to talk to a cute guy
Two toe nails growing on the same toe?
Question Posted Friday August 26 2011, 2:20 am
On my left big toe, there seems to be another nail growing on top of my original nail, starting about halfway up the nail and it ends near the top of the nail. I didn't hurt my toe or anything. I was wondering if this was normal? My dad said it was just my toe nail shedding and growing a new one..but I've never seen this happen to me before. Is my original nail going to fall off or something? Help!
ps. There's no pain or strange coloring or anything so I don't think anything is infected. Let me know what you think I should do!

Jarren Benton - Ima Murder
Artist: Jarren Benton
Producer: Trackslayaz
Album: Huffing Glue With Hasselhoff
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 19 votes )
Jarren Benton's last mixtape leak, hazy punchline-fest A Spacesuit & Parachute, earned high praise from listeners starving for wit and humor in an all-too-serious game. Like that of Heath Ledger's Joker, however, the ATL representative's comical demeanor is only a mask for the diabolically destructive force beneath. On Ima Murder, the rapper gives his dark side free rein; over Trackslayaz tension-fraught production (complete with a spooky dash of musical saw), the freestyle series alum spits the most entertaining account of criminal insanity since Shady's 3 AM, boasting of the sizable collection of dead bodies rotting in his basement and threatening to add his rivals' corpses to the pile. The end result is sure to leave strong-stomached fans both impressed and a little concerned about Benton's mental state. The squeamish… well, they'll probably end up cowering under a blanket. For more fresh, funny and occasionally frightening hip-hop goodness, check out Benton and SMKA's Huffing Glue With Hasslehoff mixtape when it hits the 'net on the 25th.

First Time in NYC
We are spending a too-short week before Xmas in NY and would love your advice on the very best:
1. Destination-restaurant I need to reserve now.
2. Don't leave New York without trying...
Before you ask, yes, I'll give you more specifics. We are a mom and teenaged daughter, will be staying in the Theatre District and going to a show most evenings, so dinner will likely be before-or after-theatre hours and we will not be able to go far afield. Our favorite meals are usually Italian; though we love French, Thai, Indian, we confine our meat-eating to a little chicken and fish and are not as adventurous as many of you, so no burgers or steak and definitely no Malaysian pork belly or Batali offal artistry. We would love to try new cuisines that aren't meat-centered. We don't need a great wine list.
We're willing to blow the budget for 1 or 2 memorable food/service/ambience dinners, but of course would like less-expensive recs for the rest of the 3 meals a day.
If you've read this far and would like to recommend a show, please do; we're serious theatre buffs and would love to know what plays/performances New Yorkers(not the Disney/Phantom crowd)are talking about this season- and what you do on Monday!
Thank you, merci, grazie!
re: Littleman
midtown/theatre district is always tough for me. restaurant row is convenient and has various options. here's a fairly recent link about it from other hounds:
a lot of people seem to like carmines (italian), which is usually packed. this might just be because of convenience and the huge portions.
you could also venture down to "koreatown" on 32nd...if you want to get out of the theatre scene.

Thanks-link doesn't work, though-I'll try to find it. We usually avoid places known for their large portions, but I've seen Carmine's recommended.
Just realized we'll be at Lincoln Center for a matinee-Telepan?!!
re: oystersallday
Carmines is a place to go with a large group of college or grad students who want to stuff themselves and get drunk on red wine while listening to people singing "Happy Birthday" at every other table. A single portion will overfeed a mother and daughter.
re: gtmajors
Thanks! All about bread!
Esca is a Batali place but it's seafood centered and very very light on the meat. Are you guys ok with raw fish? The specialities are "Crudo" preparations with fish, salt and olive oil. It's absolutely delicious and a way to try a small portion of crudo if you've never had it before. Also on 9th Avenue is very good Mexican at a place called Hell's Kitchen. I always have good meals there (as well as drinks if you're interested).
Enjoy your trip and please report back!
re: JeremyEG
Yum! Thanks! Like Batali, just not the weird parts.
re: Brian S
Thanks! I 'm beginning to think our fine dining may be lunch!
re: SusanSDG
Here's something I wrote about Fleur de Sel. Perry St might be as good:
Dining in the Theater District gets an undeservedly bad rap. The reality is that there are many restaurants there that provide very good to excellent meals. Here are a few possibilities:
When it comes to Italian food, there are a boatload of choices, many far better than Carmine's. (Obviously, I would skip it.) My pick would be Roberto Passon, which I and many other Hounds feel is one of the best.
Though I've not yet managed to get to ViceVersa, it's another Italian which gets positive reviews from Hounds.
dbBistro Moderne is 4-star chef Daniel Boulud's upscale take on French bistro cuisine served in a space with stylish contemporary decor.
Marseille is a very attractive brasserie serving French/Mediterranean cuisine.
Uncle Nick's, on 9th Av., b/t 50th & 51st Sts., is a good choice for Greek food served in a taverna-style setting.
On Monday, when most of the theaters are dark, I suggest you head downtown to Devi, on 18th St., b/t B'way & 5th Av. The superb Indian cuisine served there is some of the best in the city, and the space has unusual, elegant decor.
Enjoy your visit to NYC and Bon Appetit!
When I come into New York for a stay, I usually splurge on a nice lunch and then grab a quick bite for dinner, especially when I'm going to the theatre and don't want to put myself into a food coma.
Several "name" restaurants do prix fixe lunch specials that are a bargain. In addition to Fleur de Sel, Bouley, Jean-George, Aureole, etc., all have lunch specials that I'm partial to. I also am very fond have dining at the Tavern at Gramercy Tavern, which doesn't require reservations, and can be as much or as little as you like.
re: sidwich
Thanks! Robert Passon has a $15 prix fixe lunch!
Though it's not cheap (4 course prix fixe dinner ($59) for 4 last Sunday with two bottles on the low end of the list came to $412 including tax + tip) definitely do Telepan if you're in the Lincoln center area. Or for a really big splurge head to the revamped Picholine.

Sure. Try telling that to the degenerates grinding it out all day long in the race books, or the bleary old ladies yanking on the one-armed bandits for nine hours at a stretch, or the $500 hookers working the lounge out at the Tropicana. Despite all the squeaky-clean corporate investors who replaced the mobsters in the Eighties and the public-relations campaigns and the pseudo-Egyptian fantasies in front of the new money mills, the only "family values" that prevail in Vegas come not from the Joneses but from the Corleones.

Review sharps safety with your staff!
The following is a guest blog by Dan Scungio, MT (ASCP), SLS, a Laboratory Safety Officer for Sentara Healthcare, a multi-hospital system in the Tidewater region of Virginia.
Rita did not place the top on the sharps container when she replaced it in the morning. Later, she threw a gram stain slide into the container from a distance, and the slide shattered. Pieces of glass and what she felt was wet material flew into Rita's eye.
Jason accidentally threw out the tube of blood before pouring off all of the send-out tubes of serum he needed. He thought it was safe to reach into the sharps container since he had gloves on. He pulled his hand out quickly when he felt a sudden pain, and he noticed an open bleeding cut through his glove.
Jane was busy and did not have time to replace the wall sharps container next to the phlebotomy chair when she noticed it was full. After the next patient, she activated the needle safety device and tried to shove it into the sharps container even though its safety lid was blocking her efforts. Jane pushed hard to dispose of the needle, and she felt a stinging sensation in her finger when she "succeeded."
Sharps safety is no small matter. In the above scenarios, the incidents are particularly unsettling because each of those exposures is from unknown sources. There is no way to tell which patient is the exposure source, so it must be assumed the source is infectious. No exposure incident is good, even if the source is known and tested to be negative for HIV and Hepatitis. An unknown source exposure, however, may mean treatment with prophylactic drugs which can have unpleasant physical side effects. There is also follow-up testing and emotional impact for the employee while waiting (up to a year or more) to see if any infectious diseases were contracted.
Be sure to train lab staff properly about sharps safety. Proper activation of safety needle devices should be a part of that training. The correct placement and use of sharps containers is vital as well. Be sure floor or counter-mounted containers are prevented from tipping. Make sure lids are correctly in place in order to prevent splash-back or to keep hand and fingers out. Teach staff never to dig through a sharps container, and to always empty them before they are full.
Sharps safety should be an important piece of your lab's Bloodborne Pathogens program, and staff education on the topic should be regular. Make sure lab staff gets the point…of sharps safety!
Keep up on the latest Ebola information
By now, I'm sure you all have had just about your fill of news coverage about Ebola. And there's a good chance your facility has upgraded or even changed its intake, security, and infection control protocols to comply with the newest CDC protocol recommendations.
Make no mistake, however. The threat of an outbreak is still out there, as the disease has not been controlled in Africa, and even though the patient count here in the United States has stabilized and the media frenzy has died down a bit, now is not the time to be complacent.
All it takes is one positive case to walk through your doors to change the game, and now is the time to take the lessons learned in Texas and other healthcare facilities to strengthen your own preparations for an Ebola case.
Are your sure that your staff are properly trained to quickly put the proper PPE on, and work in a stressful environment if an Ebola patient walks in to your facility? How will you disinfect your patient rooms properly so that there is no chance of spreading the infection?
From a public relation standpoint, how will you deal with a confused public, or patients who may need to be quarantined? As we saw in Maine recently with the case of a nurse who challenged the government's attempts at a forced quarantine, there are many unanswered questions that remain about Ebola and the proper response and preparation of healthcare facilities.
We here at HCPro are committed to making sure you get the most up-to-date information, and I invite you to participate in a very special 60-minute webinar that will cover all the latest information, and answer any questions you my still have aboutpreapring for an Ebola outbreak.
The show, Ebola: How to Prepare Your Facility, will take place on Monday, November 17 from 1-2 p.m. Our featured speakers will include Marge McFarlane, an infection control expert for more than 30 years, and healthcare security expert Tom Smith, who was in charge of maintaining hospital security for facilities in North Carolina during the SARS outbreak in 2002.
By the end of the show, you'll learn how to maintain ongoing communication regarding the situation both inside and outside the doors of your facility, povide your staff and security team with the tools they will need to maintain order and properly intake and triage patients in the event of a major outbreak of Ebola or similar disease, have an understanding of the PPE and isolation needs necessary to protect others from contracting Ebola, and identify how to properly manage, dispose of, and transport hazardous medical waste that will be generated during an Ebola outbreak.
More importantly, the show is being designed around YOU. We will be sure to allow plenty of time for questions you may have as the situation changes from day to day. For more information or to register, click here to visit the HCPro Marketplace.
Upcoming HCPro webcast helps prepare your facility for Ebola
Join us for Ebola: How to Prepare Your Facility, to learn all you need to know about protecting your healthcare facility while providing the highest level of care for your patients. The show will take place on Monday, November 17 from 1-2 p.m.
This program will help hospitals clear up misconceptions surrounding the latest Ebola outbreak and help facilities develop a response plan in the event they receive a patient with Ebola or similar disease.
During this 60-minute webcast, infection control expert Marge McFarlane and healthcare security expert Tom Smith will:
- Assess the current status of the Ebola outbreak and the preparedness level of healthcare facilities
- Separate fact from fiction about transmission and patient care
- Provide tips on infection prevention as well as intake, isolation, and disinfection procedures unique to Ebola
- Discuss emergency management and facility security control issues that occur during an outbreak
- Discuss access control and compliance lessons learned from the SARS experience from 2003
- Provide suggestions to improve staff training, communication, and support for frontline staff (police and security, valet parking, guest services, environmental services, engineering staff, admitting staff, etc.) when dealing with suspected cases
At the end of this webcast, you will be able to:
Confidently and quickly activate a facility response plan to an Ebola patient, knowing your staff has been adequately trained and briefed with the latest information from the CDC and other agencies
- Maintain ongoing communication regarding the situation both inside and outside the doors of your facility
- Provide your staff and security team with the tools they will need to maintain order and properly intake and triage patients in the event of a major outbreak of Ebola or similar disease
- Have an understanding of the PPE and isolation needs necessary to protect others from contracting Ebola
- Identify how to properly manage, dispose of, and transport hazardous medical waste that will be generated during an Ebola outbreak

Guest column – Train now for proper Ebola PPE
The following is a guest blog by Dan Scungio, MT (ASCP), SLS, a Laboratory Safety Officer for Sentara Healthcare, a multi-hospital system in the Tidewater region of Virginia.
Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHF) or Ebola is the hot topic right now in healthcare facilities and in laboratories across the nation. Under normal circumstances, the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can be confusing to staff. With adjustments that need to be made for handling and processing samples from suspected or confirmed VHF patients, that confusion can mount.
A look at OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens and Chemical Hygiene Standards will make clear the requirements for proper PPE selection and use under usual circumstances in the clinical laboratory setting. Fluid-resistant lab coats, gloves and face protection are all part of the everyday PPE required. While the CDC has been very specific about PPE use when involved with direct care of VHF patients, the guidance has been less exact for laboratorians and specimen processing. The point that is often stressed is that Standard Precautions, those precautions that we should always be utilizing in the lab, are sufficient for protection against the Ebola virus.
Much information has been distributed about how lab testing was handled for the two Ebola patients at Emory University, but in those cases, only Point of Care Testing was performed near the patient rooms, and no testing ever made it to the actual laboratories in the facility. Some specific recommendations for handling the highly pathogenic samples include:
– Utilizing a gown rather than a lab coat to completely cover the front of the employee
– Double-gloving
– Full face protection to include goggles and a respirator or a full-face shield
When making decisions about the PPE for your staff, gather information from the CDC, your infection prevention department and other credible resources that you may have. Train your staff how to properly don and doff the PPE, especially if you obtain equipment you do not use under normal circumstances.
I heard someone say that because of Ebola that lab staff really needs to "buckle down and use PPE to keep themselves safe." That should happen all of the time, not just now. Laboratorians never know what pathogens they may be handling with the specimens they process and test. That's one reason Standard Precautions was introduced. Keep your lab staff safe now and always by properly using PPE that always offers the protection needed in the laboratory.
How does your facility prepare for Ebola?
As you may have all heard, a hospital worker in Dallas is confirmed as the second case of Ebola in the U.S., and a breach in protocol is being blamed for the transmission of the virus.
The CDC can make all the protocol recommendations they want – but unless healthcare workers listen and put on their PPE and follow the proper processes, this will continue to happen.
I'd like to know – what is your facility doing to prepare for possible Ebola cases? Are there any special protocols or training that are being put into place?
I am most concerned about the front-line workers – nurses and receptionists and the like who are going to be the first ones to come in contact with the patients with flu-like symptoms. How do you protect them while not turning your hospital into a scene from the movie "Outbreak"?
As always, feel free to drop me a line at email@example.com.

I am 10 days clean from a percocet addiction. I had been on for about 9 months following double knee surgery. Doctor prescribed Celexa for the anxiety I was having (before I realized it was from the percocet withdrawal). Went back and saw another doc in her office. Fessed up to the percocet and the withdrawal. She prescribed Clonidine and Lorazepam. Stopped the Celexa after 10 days. Stopped the Lorazepam 3 days ago. Trying to stop the Clonidine. I'm still not sleeping well. Can't get my body to shut down at night. Talk to the doctor and she said to start the Celexa again in AM and stay on the Clonidine longer. I'm trying to get off all meds, but I need my body to learn how to shut down at night and relax. Not sure I agree with the doctor. Advice?

You can't do it all at once. Use the celexa, and as soon as you're sleeping, wean off the clonidine. Once you've got your body settled down, wean off the celexa. Its self destructive to just decide you're not going to take meds, you make yourself feel so bad. I believe you mean klonipin tho, clonidine is for high blood pressure.
clonidine is also used for withdrawal anxiety.

The xx delivers an ethereal yet precise show at the Paramount
At a sold-out concert at Seattle' Paramount Theatre Saturday, Oct. 6, English trio The xx presented an ethereal, minimal, yet fascinatingly precise show, writes Charles R. Cross in this review.
Special to The Seattle Times
Concert Review |
UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said, "It's not how big you are, it's how big you play."
English indie rock band The xx proved that on multiple levels Saturday at the Paramount, with a set of atmospheric music that packed a huge emotional wallop, despite often sparse instrumentation.
Playing to a sold-out crowd, The xx began behind a gauze screen as they sang "Angels." Halfway through the song, the gauze dropped, but it didn't affect the sound, which was always ethereal and minimal. Each individual keyboard note stood out, as did every phrase sung by singer/guitarist Romy Madley-Croft.
Multi-instrumentalist Jamie Smith and bassist Oliver Sim round out The xx, and though their sound would never be mistaken for a power trio, it was powerful nonetheless. On most songs Madley-Croft and Sim sang together, and they made enchanting harmony.
The staging was spare, but also affecting. For most of the concert the band played in near darkness, with only muted green or blue lights. When a white light was used, as on "Shelter," halfway through the set, it felt syncopated, as if the light were another percussion instrument.
Most of the percussion came by way of Smith's keyboard programming, but Sim's work on bass also drove melodies. Sim was particularly effective on "Sunset," as his bass wove between his vocals and those of Madley-Croft.
Still, Madley-Croft's guitar was the dominant sound. She rarely played a full riff Saturday, instead favoring a style that saw her pick the minimal number of notes necessary to carry the melody forward, and no more. Her playing had similarities to U2's the Edge, even as it was original and fresh. It always left a listener wanting more.
The xx's main set lasted only an hour, with most of the sixteen songs culled from the band's recent "Coexist" album. Only during the finale of "Infinity" did the band show any real artifice.
On that tune, another screen lifted, revealing a giant suspended piece of scaffolding that formed an "X." The band played their one encore, "Tides," with that single character looming over the stage.
It was an image — like the rest of the evening — that was simple yet poignant.

This product has been discontinued
This is the best highlighter ever in my opinion! Pale pink and pearly, just right for my super pale cool toned face, gives a lovely subtle glow and shimmer. The dinky little bottle is great the little brush helps me not to pour out and waste lots of the product. I am just getting to the end of mine and I have had it getting on for 2 years now, so although expensive, is well worth it.
Is a great highlighter-not too shimmery but adds a pretty glow that isn't so noticeable that people are staring at you. I love this stuff and my only gripe is the unsanitary "nail polish like" bottle but it's not enough for me to even take off a lippie. Great product!
Excuse my choice of words but this stuff just SUCKED! It was in a teeny tiny bottle, with a nail polish applicator (annoying for something you want to spread across your face, good for nail polish, not a highlighter)and it didn't show up at all.
I have had great luck by following the reviews here at MUA but this was the exception. Save your money, this is a dud.

This is the secret to radiant skin! For years I've been searching for that glow that we see on all the models in magazines and in movies.This is it!I have healthy skin, but it still seemed dull, especially if I used foundation which made me look matte, not raidant or dewey.This is sooo natural.I wear it everyday.I use it on my nose, my cheeks,browbone.I use it with a cheek stain.My husband coments me on "my glow" all the time.It's because of this pearly-pink highlighter!
I love this highlighter. I really really love the texture - nice and blendable, not greasey in the least.
I like it best mixed with a drop of Benetint on each cheek and blended for a gorgeous glowing sheer cheek stain :) Its the effect I wanted Dandelion to have on me, but Dandelion doesn't really show on my PPP/FFF skin.
High beam is divine. Will be a staple for me over the Australian summer for sure!!
I love Benefit products, but I was hesitant to buy this b/c I was afraid it was going to end up like my Benetint, unused and sitting listlessly in the back of my makeup drawer.
On the contrary, I use this almost everyday to give parts of my face that dewy look. Very versatile! I pair it with Eyeko Cream for an even more pink-toned look. One of the ppl who recommended this to me said it would liven up tired faces, and she was not wrong. I'm so glad I bought this. Much more worthwhile than Hollywood Glo.
I absolutely ADORE this! I applied this pink/pearl shade w/ a brush applicator to my cheekbones and it looked fabulous! It's the amount of "glow" I have been searching for, perfect!

great highlighter. lots of shimmer which makes your cheeks look really radiant and shiny.
I love High Beam! I use it on my cheekbones, brow bones, everywhere! I keep finding uses for it! I love the nail polish like bottle and brush, it makes it much easier to apply. It also has great staying power, it lasts all day on me. I will def. buy it again if i ever run out!
I used High Beam as a brow highlighter and to give myself an overall glow at my wedding, and I loved how dewy and sweet my skin looked! It lasted through the entire day without fading or melting and showed up beautifully in the pictures, too.
