Free Gasoline Giveaway
Gas Prices are too high! It seems gasoline prices keep climbing every week and it's getting worse as summer approaches. Across the United States many drivers are being hit at the pump with gas prices of $4.00 and higher per gallon. With no solution in sight for this inflation of gasoline prices, many Americans are left stuck with a large gas bill every month. This has affected many household budgets and many have resorted to taking public transportation.
But did you know that there are gasoline companies, government agencies, and various organizations giving away free gas? Many giveaway free gas gift cards and free gas vouchers. We have partnered with these different entities to bring you their Free Gas Giveaways. Think of it, getting free gas for a year or even a free gas gift card for $1000 to $1,500. Below are the various gas giveaways that you can sign up for. Give them a try, you have nothing to lose, they are 100% Free!
Exclusive! - Win A Free $3,500 Gas Gift Card - Click Here
Why Are Gas Prices So High?
The continued increase in Gas Prices has many Americans asking why are the gas prices so high? President Obama and many others have blamed Wall Street because of their Speculators who inflate Gas Prices. Goldman Sachs has come out and said this is true and that they add $27 to each barrel of oil which equates to a $0.70 per gallon increase to Gas Prices. This is the amount of money the speculators are adding on top of the prices that we should be paying. Even the CEO of Exxon has said the prices of a single Barrel of Oil should be between $60 to $70 but instead they are at $100. The Oil Companies are also being blamed for high Gas Prices, with their record setting profits they seem to be making no effort to lower Gas Prices. Both Democrats and Republicans are looking to resolve the issue of record gas prices.
Ways To Save Money On Gas
Mobile Apps - There are many smartphone apps out there that can help you navigate around high gas prices. Here are some of our favorites:
1) GasBuddy - This free app lets you see nearby gas stations on a map and what their current prices are.
2) AAA TripTik - This app locates gas stations and prices and includes features that help you plane the shortest route and more..
3) GasHog - This $0.99 app helps you focus on your car's fuel economy and history with every fill up, gives you gas saving tips and more.
Membership Discounts - Our second save at the pump tip is to use memberships that offer discounts. Lots of grocery store chains like Safeway and Costco have eevn cheaper gas price for members. If you travel a lot consider getting a hotel chain gas card, mid-price chains like Choice and Comfort Inn offer big savings on gas if you stay with them often.
Now once you've filled up your tank there are common sense ways to get mileage. Start with ditching unnecessary junk from your car trunk, same with anything that interferes with your car's aerodynamics such as cargo baskets, car top carriers, and ski racks. By removing these items from your car's roof you will notice a difference in your gas mileage. When you're in traffic take it easy, don't drive aggressively and use cruise control when you can, remember to turn your engine off instead of leaving it in idle. In the end the best way to save is to drive less, see if you can avoid rush hour or high traffic volume periods, public transportation is a good option also. You can also use car sharing services or hourly car rentals such as Zipcar and Connect by Hertz.

57 charged in Florida gambling scandal
ORLANDO, Fla. Florida's lieutenant governor resigned and nearly 60 other people were charged in a widening scandal of a purported veterans charity that authorities said Wednesday was a $300 million front for illegal gambling.
Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll's resignation came a day after she was questioned in the investigation. Her public relations firm did work for the St. Augustine-based charity Allied Veterans of the World, but she has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Authorities said the probe involved 57 arrest warrants and 54 search warrants issued at gambling operations in 23 Florida counties and five other states: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said charges, which will be formally filed next week, include racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering and possession of slot machines.
"It's callous and it's despicable," Bondi said of the alleged scam, which she said "insults every American who ever wore a military uniform."
Authorities refused to discuss any ties between Carroll, a 53-year-old Republican, and the investigation. Her aides had no immediate comment.
Carroll, a Navy veteran who served in the Gulf War, appeared in a TV ad in 2011 promoting the organization's charitable work on behalf of veterans and their families.
Carroll's resignation letter to Gov. Rick Scott offered no details about her reason for leaving, but the Republican governor said in a statement she resigned so her ties to the company would not be a distraction for the administration.
"I will not elaborate on the details of her resignation further, other than to say that she resigned and she made the right decision for the state and her family," Scott said.
Allied Veterans evolved from a charitable organization that ran bingo games and held bake sales for veterans beginning in 1979 to a group suspected of operating more than 40 illegal gambling locations around Florida, according to an Internal Revenue Service affidavit. The veterans' charity was a fraud, according to the IRS.
"In an effort to mislead the public into believing that it is not profiting from an illegal gambling enterprise, Allied Veterans and others have engaged in a conspiracy and scheme to defraud," the affidavit said.
One of those arrested, Jacksonville attorney Kelly Mathis, is the alleged mastermind of the scheme, authorities said. Mathis allegedly made about $6 million alone from the gambling operation.
From 2007 to early 2012, investigators found evidence of over $6 million in what appear to be charitable donations by Allied Veterans. That amount, however, was only about 2 percent of the over $290 million made from gambling operations during that time period. Instead of going to veterans, the vast majority of the money went to for-profit companies and the individuals who operated Allied Veterans and its so-called "affiliates."
Authorities said they seized about 300 bank accounts containing $64.7 million and assets including such exotic vehicles as Maseratis, Porsches and Ferraris.
To play games at one of the Internet cafes, a customer gets a prepaid card and then goes to a computer to play "sweepstakes." The games, with spinning wheels similar to slot machines, have names such as "Captain Cash," `'Lucky Shamrocks" and "Money Bunny," according to the IRS.
Winners go back to a cashier with their cards and cash out.
The games have been the subject of much debate in Florida and some are legal as long as most of the profits are donated to charity.
Each of the locations had a big sign prominently displayed that read: "This is not a gaming establishment." Inside were rows of computers where patrons could play the various games.
At most of the sites, employees wore shirts emblazoned with an "Allied Veterans" logo. On the walls were photos of company executives making donations on its behalf and letters of recognition from some of the charities that received donations.

Traffic Law
Have Traffic Law Questions? Ask a Traffic Lawyer Online.
Thank you for your question, and thank you most kindly for requesting me to assist you this evening.
It is always better to pursue someone else's insurance rather than your won.
Your own insurance company may potentially increase your premiums if they themselves ended up having to pay for the damages.
They likewise cannot replace undamaged property, so if the car seat is fine, it will not be covered
But if it is actually damaged you can demand full value as replacement cost.
Hope that helps!
hmm yes it does
allright so I will go with them
that's the smoothest way right?
I will try asking her about the depreciation/potential carfax thing too..see how it goes..doesnt look like she will give me anything on that one
I should inform my claims rep about me going with her right now correct?
Great, good to hear. And yes, you should inform the rep about pursuing benefits from the other insurer, but state that if they do not cover al expenses as you reasonably request, you reserve the right to get your own insurer involved.
oh ok sure I will...actually all people involved in this case belong to the same insurance co.
but yeah I will do that
but like you said, if i did end up going to my insurance, they might bump up the rates..so I will have to weigh that out..
Correct, and that is why typically working with 'their' insurer, even if that is also 'your' insurer, is wiser.
allright cool!
thanks a lot
Glad to help!
Please let me know how it goes!

The resemblance between staple food and mobile phones that I wrote about last week spells a red danger signal for manufacturers. How long can manufacturers continue the version strategy in the hope of sustaining their business?
New model versions every quarter is the name of the game now. Global companies bring out several price categories. Inside each category, theres some tinkering with the software. This becomes the new version with inhuman digits like Nokia Lumia 1320, 1520, 1020 or Samsung Galaxy Note, 2, 3, S, S2, S3, S4, S5. Then theres Apples iPhone, 2g, 3, 3G, 3gs, 4, 4S, 5, 5C, 5S. Such insensitive acts are done robotically to generate revenue without understanding the customers subconscious mind. What is the distinctive change a mobile devices design brings?
Sooner than later, the handset is becoming a commodity. The huge number of new handset buyers getting added every day is more intelligent than the buyer of reputed brand mobile phones. The masses either dont have money to waste, or consider it foolish to spend extra on a brands value. The mobile is like commodity rice and bread where no brand has yet established its pull nor tangibly shown any better benefit. Similarly, the large community of unbranded mobile phone buyers finds negligible, untenable distinction between different branded handheld devices in the market. The branded handset buyer will shift to unbranded categories because as theres no functional distinction, why specially choose a brand, why pay more?
The mobile phone industry is lagging behind in understanding the parameters of differentiation vs distinction. Everybody knows that digital technology brings costs down. By altering colours and digital icons to prove premiumness and brand distinction, digi-tech mobile phones are struggling. Perhaps theres technological engineering differentiation in the software, but the consumer eye that chooses the instrument, gives that differentiation no credence. Steve Jobs was driving Apple like a fashion designer. After the death of this sultan of design, everybody has realised that the mobile hand device is generic.
Big mobile brands are destroying their brand value by frequent launch of new versions bearing heartless code names that nobody can mentally register. I was using Samsung Note 2 without any problem when suddenly I was provoked to buy Note 3 within six months. According to my requirement, I never did figure out why I needed the new one, it showed no extra purpose. Making such versions, brands are losing consumer

Scarlett Johansson Picture Investigation – FBI Honing In on Hackers
TMZ reports that the FBI is "honing in" on the hackers who stole pictures (NSFW) from Scarlett Johansson's cellphone. They know the identity of at least one of them — apparently the ringleader. This is so exciting! I really hope they catch the thieves soon — so we can all have closure (LOL). Meanwhile, I still don't know where those alleged Mila Kunis pictures are lurking on the Web.
From TMZ:
The scofflaws who hacked Scarlett Johansson's cell phone … and then leaked several nude pics — are in the crosshairs of the FBI, and we're told the Feds already know the identity of the main culprit.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the FBI is "honing in" on the group of hackers and know the identity of at least one of them — and we're told it's the ringleader.

GLEN JEAN, W.Va. - The view from West Virginia's new "Summit" is nothing but wild and wonderful for the Boy Scouts of America.
The Summit: Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve is taking shape in West Virginia's New River Gorge region and is providing a new direction for Scouts across the country. The reserve is set to open in July, when it will host its first National Boy Scout Jamboree.
About 50,000 Scouts and Scout leaders are expected to attend that event.
Boy Scout officials believe the 10,600-acre camp in Fayette County, near the towns of Glen Jean and Mount Hope will serve as home for future Jamborees. There's even a good chance the venue will host the 2019 World Scout Jamboree.
"This is the greatest project ever of its kind. It will be not only a great camp but a great laboratory that will offer so many teaching opportunities," retired Scout Chief Executive Bob Mazzuca said. "We're only limited by our own imaginations and maybe a few dollars. There are limitless possibilities."
One of the main features at The Summit will be a 782-foot suspension bridge.
The bridge is built of steel and lumber from local black locust trees. It features a catwalk below the pedestrian deck, so boys can walk across the bridge, and up its towers and down its side cables.
The span also will have three viewing platforms: two on top of the towers and one below the main deck.
To date, the Boy Scouts of America have received donations exceeding $200 million for the West Virginia camp.
The Summit will be the fourth national high adventure camp owned and operated by the Boy Scouts. Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N.M., with its 137,000 acres of rugged mountain trails, will always be the crown jewel of Boy Scout camps.
The Summit Reserve will compliment Philmont and serve as a "jewel of its own."
Plans for the Summit began in 2007, when Scout leaders began searching for a new home for the national jamboree. After reviewing more than 80 sites in 28 states, leaders selected the Summit in 2009.
One of the Summit's main selling points is its location adjacent to the 70,000-acre New River Gorge National River. Scouts will have access to the area during events.
The camp is named after the Bechtel family, as the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation and the Stephen Bechtel Fund gave a $50 million donation to purchase the property, the largest gift in the history of the Boy Scouts of America. Stephen Bechtel, a Distinguished Eagle Scout, has served as chairman emeritus of a private investment firm, chairman of the Bechtel Corp. and has been appointed to various committees and commissions by three presidents.

If they gave bonuses to racial clans (or penalties to ARAC) and fixed the alignment system there wouldn't be this problem to begin with because there would be a reason to protect new people.
Without new players =
New clan... lovely idea but Hyperion on EU have been trying to do this for a while now (the new hyperion) - its our main aim, make human lands safe for new players. As a rule, hyperion players wont kill blue people unless attacked, our cities gates are always open for people and were welcoming to new players (which unfortunatly leads to many many alt character spies and stealing but we will keep going)
Now i know we havent made human lands safe yet... but its the intention
There is no stat-loss in UO just like in DF so murderers are able to kill as much as they want.
You obviously don't get the point of NEW. This is NOT to guarantee new players a safe place to play this game without getting killed. THEY WILL DIE. If a player cannot handle getting killed by other players, then this game is not for them.
This is why hyperion "new experiement" fails. You cannot stop players from killing newbs... you cannot completely secure anything in this game, let alone the human lands. You can only police it (just like the police cant stop someone from murderering someone else irl, but they can mitigate it.)
The whole point of NEW is to give new players a place to find fellow players to share similar experiences with. A place where guilds can look for potential recruits. A place for them to begin their integration into the community.
Community is what built UO. Community is what builds sandboxes. Community is why people play UO for years and years and years. Community is the biggest thing UO players say they miss from pre-trammel to post-trammel. That is what this game is ALL about... not PvP, but rather... community.
What you're line of thinking leads to is things like Trammel and stupid consensual PvP systems, newbie islands and other bullshit that just will exacerbate the problems and undermine the core design of this game.
I have a really good relationship with those that run NEW on Siege Perilous. They are the greatest resource for ironing out the kinks in this 'idea' because of their 9+ years of experience with it. Why more people don't take advantage of that kind of knowledge, I have no idea...

You love my style.
My Vendor in Darkmouth (Humanlands).
You have been trying to do an ultra carebear perversion of what NEW is supposed to be. It's why you have problems that you just ignore and "keep going." It's why your main aim is an utter failure.
You're basically trying to make it into something that it's never going to be.
You need to first understand how "NEW" is really supposed to work and the purpose it's supposed to serve. Then you will find the success with it that you're looking for.
It's been running successfully for over 9 YEARS in a game (shard) with a ruleset that is identical to Darkfalls... why people haven't looked to it as a point of reference... I dunno. Sad, really.

You love my style.
My Vendor in Darkmouth (Humanlands).
Why not fix the game so new players don't have to grind for 6 months to be competitive.
I want to be able to kill all new players AND live with the consequences.
If the consequence is, that a clanmate kills me, so be it.
But i don't want to get forced to not killing them.
I don't want AV to implement a magic "wall of newbie protection".
I also don't want that players exclude other players, because they attack newbies.
New players should learn how to survive like all people did before.
They should learn to run fast or to join a clan to survive. Or to bank often...
who said it has failed? who said we are trying to stop people getting killed?This is why hyperion "new experiement" fails. You cannot stop players from killing newbs... you cannot completely secure anything in this game, let alone the human lands. You can only police it (just like the police cant stop someone from murderering someone else irl, but they can mitigate it.)
(ok if someone finds an exact quote saying thats what we want, well its dam well not what were trying for )
Who gave you the right to accuse us of failing
We want the human lands to be a safer place for new people. By this i mean safer then it is now and i dont mean no killing. I.e a new player can come into human lands and have fun. There will be plently of gankers around still i bet and not much will change but we want a new player to feel like they are not so out of their depth, not so lost, not so out numbered and not so alone, basically changing the current new player experience which can be daunting.
I want to start encouraging blue hyperion members to spend more time in starter cities to help with this personaly, not just stuck up in our own cities, which people are still more then welcome to come to
I think were trying to do the same thing, i really do, and i applaud us both for that I just want to point out (as you got spotlighted and im a little green over it) that your not the first to try it, individual guilds (NewHope and others) and other alliances and ideals have tried the same before to varying degrees of succsess

Seneca Falls: Birthplace of Women's Rights
Colleen O'Connor Dallas Morning News, St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)
MARY GRATTON, operations manager of the National Women's Hall of Fame, grew up in this rural village in upstate New York. She remembers how students learned only about a few women, such as Martha Washington, Betsy Ross and Harriet Tubman.
"If it weren't for the fact that I went to Elizabeth Cady Stanton Elementary School, I wouldn't have known who she was," she says.
"It's just really awesome, when you stop and look back, going to the Hall of Fame and the Women's Rights National Historical Park, how much women's history we did not learn.
"It's nice to see in my children's textbooks things like Seneca Falls, the convention and women's rights. I know for a fact it wasn't in my fourth-grade textbook."
This is the 75th anniversary of women winning the right to vote, and many are making a pilgrimage to Seneca Falls to learn more about the suffragists who made it happen. This village is known as the birthplace of women's rights because in Seneca Falls, in 1848, the first women's rights conference was held. Attended by women such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, the convention unveiled a document called the Declaration of Sentiments that declared, "All men and women are created equal." It also demanded the vote for women.
The idea of women being able to vote was radical. In those days, the list of things women couldn't do was extensive. A woman could not make contracts, sue in court, divorce an abusive husband or gain custody of her children. She couldn't keep her own wages or own property - not even the clothes she wore. Twelve days after the Seneca Falls conference, another one was held in nearby Rochester. Soon, they were happening across the country.
Today, Seneca Falls reflects strong pride in its heritage. Pictures of famous suffragists hang in local coffee shops. Rooms in bed-and-breakfasts are named after historic women such as Clara Barton and Lucretia Mott. Local organizations host countless conferences on women: women in politics, women in baseball, women changing careers, women in religious leadership.
This village of more than 9,000 people often seems untouched by time. There's a large historic district where the homes and shops appear just as they did years ago. Roads, uncluttered by billboards, lead to vistas of rolling pasture land, rust-red barns and grazing cattle.
Like many small towns in upstate New York, Seneca Falls is suffering tough economic times and has seen factories close and industries leave. But this village is blessed with history that sells.
Million-dollar grants, state and federal, feed a rich cultural heritage: the history of women's rights in America.
"Tourism is the fastest-growing industry in the state," says village planner Francis Caraccilo.
"We'd be crazy not to try to hop on the bandwagon and take advantage of it. But beyond just the economic impact of it all, an important aspect is just our own recognition of our heritage and what happened here before us, and being respectful, and wanting maybe to show off a little, take some pride in our past."
Pilgrims now flock to this mecca of women's history. During the first four months of 1995, attendance at the Women's Rights Historical Park shot up by 30 percent. Two years after the park opened in 1980, only 650 people visited. Last year, more than 30,500 tourists came from around the country.
In the past five years, attendance rates have doubled at the National Women's Hall of Fame. Tourism was boosted by a $12 million renewal project that included the restoration of the site of the 1848 convention - the church had become a red-brick laundry - and the creation of a landscaped park with a waterfall flowing over an inscription of the Declaration of Sentiments. …

Faith, Hope, Charity and a shot at Redemption.
The story will unfold tomorrow...
And so it does...
I was nervously happy to hear that Gary had not only welded the bike back together but INDEED had added reinforcement to the frame although I'm not certain as to what it looks like yet (I suspect that the part that broke had bars/filling done at the least as I had talked to him and mentioned it specifically.
It is buffed down and primered and ready for painting if the paint shop owner is satisfied and it's coming home partly assembled and will be stripped down again to be finished, but for the fairing and the saddlebags (awaiting repair to one that lost the lid in a clean break--thank goodness).
It will be a happy but strange heart that waits anxiously for it's arrival, like waiting for a brother that lost a leg in war and you love him always but you aren't used to dealing with the new physical reality that is settling in. Uncertainty and the hope you can just go on and not be unsure again.
I realize I was a bit late getting back today but then again it is only past ELEVEN in the Pacific timezone and West so...
There it is.
:) I think it's solid again.
ME? Not as solid. But that's why I ride, to get up Hospital Hill without needing to visit.
The painting goes down this weekend.
So, how are you doing, Rollfast?
East Hill
She's getting a good nap and I'm getting a great ride. It gets paint this weekend!
Good, so you are all right :) , and so is the bike :D .
East Hill
Do I keep mentioning the paint job?:):rolleyes:
I wish I could rollerskate better...I've seen a lot of search references for Rollfast rollerskates lately. The newest Rollfast I've seen so far is a 1972 juvenile model. I haven't really found a good story or book just yet about the Harris company and it's bike and skate line or if anybody bought or absorbed the firm and I would love to have some guidance.
Sounds like a question for Foo, to me!
I have not been on rollerskates for years...although I think I could still handle it :) .
East Hill
After a lot of delay and waiting, I'm stripping the frame and saddlebag carrier. It goes to the body shop in the morning. By Monday or Tuesday it should be done. I can't document the process in pictures as my Epson stopped uploading although it takes pictures and I don't have the 5-pin mini to USB connector for my HP Photosmart 120 yet. I will by Tuesday. I will have a new pair of shoes also and that is great as I think these worn out shoes are a lot of the reason I hurt my back last week. It still hurts to twist in bed suddenly and will take a week or two to get over it.
I hope the ATI All In Wonder card I found for $5 at the computer store will finally help me finish a real video clip for You Tube and not just the 10 second Windows Movie Maker slideshow of my opening...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AhZcIupF1Q My first clip! On topic too!
I enjoyed the film clip (especially the little bit at the end :D ). Moving forward in the saga!
East Hill
BTW, does the nut on the crank turn clockwise or counter clockwise to open it? If it's CCW then it's being a pain and it's keeping me from getting it to him. He says I need to finish it but neither I or my strong neighbor could make it come off that way and it took a long time to get the coaster brake off and I used a Channel-Lok with a hammer to untorque the rear axle nuts after the LBS owner jammed them yet again and claims it's to avoid "liability issues"...it will be such if I hurt myself trying to free a nut. DUH. I'm no good at tube repair/replacement but I try to do what I can.
The new Reebok court shoes I asked for in exchange for supplying a stereo set for his new shop haven't been delivered yet either and my feet are in bad shape, not to mention these old ones gather up the road gravel in the heels for some reason. I spent several hours with rather limited bending ability geting it stripped and walking for three hours paying bills etc and it's hard to let a back recover like that.
Anxiety should be hung.
Do you mean the nut or bolt that holds the crank onto the BB? If that's the case, Counter Clockwise on both sides.
Okay...not for the faint-hearted...
Yes, that's the frame kinda buried in the center. Remember that you will never see that primer again.
A new chapter begins...
East Hill
Probably a telenovela.

You can use the exception as an parameter in event.
Knowing nothing else, it seems like your locking is broken, if you need a thread to ensure that your locks aren't held too long or are invalid.
If you really need to throw exceptions to your main thread, set up a communication queue from all your 'worker threads' to your 'master thread', and wrap your entire worker threads in an exception handler that does nothing more than append exceptions to the queue and then kills that thread. Your master thread can poll the queue to discover exceptions and restart threads that have died after correcting the error condition.
Pass along a reference to the execution context of the main form to the thread (via the delegate or field). Then invoke a method (either send or post) via that synchronization context from your thread that throws the exception. The execution context will ensure it is processed by the ui thread.
You might find it easier to keep the exception handling within the thread and pass back the exception message and stack trace by returning
Just my 2 cents.
I think you can use Invoke, BeginInvoke on the main form if you are running Windows Forms to send an exception there from try/catch block. Or you can create an event handler/delegate in a main thread and send exceptions through that to the main thread so the method in a main thread can process it. To be honest haven't tried those solutions but those are my first ideas.
PS. Maybe creating a WorkerQueue on the main thread is also an option. It will run as a backgroundWorker and when it gets new exception sent in it processes it accordingly... I can give you small examples on that if you're interested.
To use it: In your main thread class:
In Initialize() or wherever your main thread starts:
And to send an exception use:

When it comes to makeup, lashes are my everything! I've used fake lashes and extensions. I've tried high end mascaras, drugstore brands and everything in between. One brand didn't do everything I wanted it to so my holy grail mascara regimen involves two. On any given day I layer a coat of Benefit's "They're Real" with Maybelline Volum' Express "Falsies." I swear by these two products especially when used together. However, that doesn't mean I'm opposed to trying new things.
Cue Younique's "Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes." I'd never even heard of Younique before but I was asked if I wanted to review their new mascara and figured what the heck. Their website describes the product as nothing short of a miracle…
"Packaged in two separate bottles, the Transplanting Gel and Natural Fibers are used together to enhance and magnify your OWN lashes. Watch your lashes transform into something you only dreamed of! A 300% increase in thickness and volume to your lashes while still looking completely real and natural. Potentially "mood-altering" 3D Fiber lashes will quickly become your favorite makeup accessory! Water resistant, yet easily washes off with warm water and facial cleanser."
I was impressed by the packaging but did this stuff really work? I mean, a 300% increase?! It seems to good to be true.
The directions say to apply one layer of transplanting gel followed by a coat of natural fibers. Below you'll see a series of progression photos:
1 – Au Natural Lashes
2 – One coat of Younique's Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash
3 – Because I love my lashes super thick, I decided to add a second coat.
4 – The directions say you can use your own mascara first then layer Younique's Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash. In this photo I did just that. (Please forgive my smudged eye liner.)
Holy lashes! Do I think this increased my lashes 300%? Ehhhh. Do I think it's worth a try? Absolutely! I like this mascara because it's like wearing false lashes without having to worry about them falling off in the middle of a date or night out. Both the gel and fibers are $29 and comes in the nice carrying case.
Younique is a company similar to Stella & Dot where anyone can become a consultant and sell their products to friends and family. I'd like to thank Justine for sending me the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes and two color pigments in the colors Flirty (purple) and Sexy (gold). I used a touch of each color in the photos above in conjunction with some shadows I already own.

66 Comments on {Closed} GIVEAWAY & REVIEW – Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara
Right now I use a type of Volume Express mascara and it really does nothing for me, compared to the commercials. I would love to see what Younique could do for me!
I use L'Oreal micro fiber mascara. It's the one in the red and white tube and I have always come back to it! I'm hoping to win and try something new!
Hey Lisa- did you try this mascara yet? I have a great, limited time deal going on right now! Email me at email@example.com for more information- I'd love to help!
At this point I have been using cover girl volume mascara in an effort to give myself the appearance of more eye lashes. I also use a curler for my lashes. I sadly have short straight lashes; however, yours are beautiful!! Jealous!
I use Tarte mascara. It's absolutely AMAZING. A bit expensive but so totally worth it. It's 100% natural, and made with Amazonian Clay. I cannot stress enough how awesome it is. But I would LOVE to try Younique.
Hey Anna- did you try this mascara yet? I have a great, limited time deal going on right now! Email me at email@example.com for more information- I'd love to help!
If I could only use one makeup for the rest of my life, it would definitely be mascara! My lashes are so light and sparse, mascara totally changes the look of my eyes!
If I could only use one makeup for the rest of my life, it would be foundation. My skin has permanent blemishes that I don't like.
I use powder to even out my skin my town. I'm so red, it irritating. I used to wear make-up all the time but stopped. Now I feel like a bit of a clown wearing make-up again. But the older I get, there definitely is more of a need. Lol!
If I could only choose one makeup item it would have to be an eyelash curler. My lashes are short and flat so I need all the oomph I can get
I would love to try this mascara!
I do makeup for events and stuff so finding new product is fun for me. But if I had to choose one product it would have to be mascara because that is what brings out the eyes the most. Especially for those constantly on the go. Instead of applying all this makeup you can just apply some blush and mascara and be out the door.
This looks promising, I've tried so many of the products that promise longer, thicker lashes and they just don't deliver. At my age (55) I'd love something that would give me some real results!
I'm unable to enter the contest! It won't open for me
Are you mobile?
You can access it through your browser
If I could only choose one makeup item it would have to be my eye liner! Make me look more awake!
I probably had 10+ mascaras at home going to waste because I just can't find one I like that makes my lashes look long and full! This is a must try!
Hey Brynn- did you try this mascara yet? I have a great, limited time deal going on right now! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information- I'd love to help!
I use Lash Blast by Covergirl, and it works pretty well for me with a couple coats. I do a coat of clear gel first to help separate my lashes and prevent clumping. I'd love to try this one out!
It would be mascara for me! I would love to win these!! Ever since losing my right eye and having eye surgeryy lashes just won't stay with regular mascara! This would be amazing!!!!
Mascara for sure!!! I use a cover girl mascara that I love but I've been dying to try these fiber lashes. With mascara your whole face just pops and looks more lively! It's an everyday must!
If I could only use one makeup product it would definitely be mascara. It opens the eyes and really just changes a look with little effort. Now if I had to choose only one brand of mascara, then it'd be tricky cause I love They're Real, Buxom, and UD Super Curl. All amazing mascaras! =)
Ellen, speaking of eyelashes, have you ever tried, or know anyone that has tried, a product like Godefroy 28 Day Mascara Permanent Eyelash Tint Kit? Just thought I'd ask since I know you like to try products. =)
If I could only use one makeup product it would be mascara. Simple to use yet opens the eyes up plus doesn't make me look as tired as I am in the morning. Great for when you're getting up at 4am.
If I could use only one item it would be mascara — I look so incredibly tired without mascara — but a few swipes of that wand and I suddenly look wide awake (okay, maybe that is after a cup of coffee or three) but honestly, I can't leave the house without mascara. I love Smashbox full exposure mascara, it is $20 but so worth it — those times when I'm feeling a little tight in the wallet I'll go and buy something at the drugstore and I always end up regretting it cause it just never does the trick but I have to say, your pictures have my attention!!
If I could only use one type of makeup I think I would use a good foundation/moisturizer
Right now I use They're Real mascara from Benefit. It's really nice and not super expensive.
If I could only use one makeup product it would be mascara for sure. I have horse eyelashes-long and straight. My favorite mascara is CoverGirl waterproof Lash Blast. It's the only mascara i have found that doesn't uncurl my eyelashes after I have already curled them. I would love to try this though, your eyelashes look amazing!!
That's such a hard one! I would have to say eyeliner. I feel naked with out it!
If I could only use one makeup product it would definitely be mascara. And daaaaaang girl, your lashes look amazing! I would love for mine to look that good!
If I could only use one makeup product it would be my cream to powder foundation. Putting that on everyday just makes me feel just a little but more confident, even if I am home in my pjs I still put it on.
I love most benefit products and I have always used Hoola, almost daily. Even on my no makeup days I brush it on to warm up my white white white skin!
Figures. I'm Greek… and hairy… except on my eyelashes! What gives?! I'd love my lashes to look thicker & longer!
I would have to have mascara! Just adding something to make my eyes pop can have me feeling good all day!
Thanks for the review Ellen. And thanks to everyone for entering. Congrats to our winner!!
If anyone else wants to order just message me with order number and let me know Ellen sent you and you will get a free pigment as well.

Can I override one obejct with another if they are instance of same class, their size is the same, using sun.misc.Unsafe?
edit: By "override" I mean to "delete" first object, ant to fill the memory with the second one. Is it possible?
Yes and no.
Yes - If you allocate some memory with Unsafe and write a long, then write another long in it (for example), then yes, you have deleted the first object and filled the memory with a second object. This is similar to what you can do with ByteBuffer. Of course, long is a primitive type, so it is probably not what you mean by 'object'.
Java allows this, because it has the control on allocated memory.
No - Java works with references to objects and only provides references to these objects. Moreover, it tends to move objects around in memory (i.e., for garbage collection).
There is no way to get the 'physical address' and move memory content from one object address to another, if that's what you are trying. Moreover, you can't actually 'delete' the object, because it may be referenced from elsewhere in the code.
However, there is always the possibility of having reference A point to another objectB instead of objectA with
Workaround - Now, let's imagine that reference A1, A2, A3 point to the same objectA. If you want all of them to suddently point to objectB, you can't use
There is a workaround:
Instead of having multiple references to the same object, you could define a public static reference and have your code use

On the morning of February 20, 2006, I received a call from my father at 8 a.m. It was a holiday, President's Day. My father could not speak. He sounded in shock. And he was only able to stutter a few words and my name for about a minute: "Dylan … accident …" I threw the phone down.
I knew something terrible had happened. I knew one of my boys had died.
The sheer terror shook every bone in my body. The worst fear a parent can have had just happened. Dylan, my 15-year-old son, had been ejected while sleeping in the back seat of the car — not wearing his seat belt. Dylan breathed his last breath on a cold winter morning while holding the hand of my best friend. They were on their way to Mammoth to ski.
Just two days before the accident I took Dylan and our three other children to Los Angeles for the weekend to show them my favorite places while attending USC in the '80s. Little did I know at the time that I would be going back to USC as part of my journey of healing.
Two years after the accident I was having a difficult time emotionally and physically. I took a leave from our family business, Ayres Hotels, to venture into a deeper internal healing process, which I shared with Professor Donald Miller, with whom I had studied as a religion major. For 31 years I had been bothered by not finishing my degree at USC; I lacked a single course.
After talking with Don about my family's loss, he suggested that I do a four-unit directed study that would focus on my grieving process. I would document this experience through writing and preparation of a video that recorded some of my experiences since Dylan's death. We both realized it was an unorthodox plan of study, but a standard reading course seemed removed from my reality.
Not too long after Dylan's death I sought solitude in a silent monastery in the desert of New Mexico. With the guidance of a community of Benedictine monks I began to sort out the deep pain in my soul. This was a strange environment for me, but not too different, in an odd way, from the black Pentecostal churches that I had studied in Professor Miller's sociology of religion course many years earlier. While Pentecostals and Benedictine monks are completely different in their style of worship, they both exemplify potential pathways to self-transcending experiences.
Rather than practice qualitative research skills, as was the requirement in my religion course years ago, I dove into life in the monastery as a fully immersed participant: chanting the psalms seven times a day, chopping wood for the chapel's fireplace, and spending time in contemplation and solitude.
It was a completely different rhythm of life from the work schedule in the family business, where I was traveling constantly and involved in managing large construction projects. At the monastery, I was learning to listen to an inner voice, connecting to a presence that was much larger than myself. I was stepping outside the box of my upper-middle class life just as I had done when I entered my first, black Pentecostal church in South L.A.
When I think back on what USC taught me, it was not simply a curriculum oriented around assigned readings. It was taking advantage of an incredibly rich cultural environment in one of the world's great metropolitan regions. And it was faculty members, such as Professor Miller, who encouraged me to venture beyond the ivory tower, in my current pursuit for meaning as well as in my entire personal and professional life.
I am still on a journey of healing, while at the same time trying to help others in need — which, in itself, is healing. I continue to spend time in various monastic settings, seeking peace, pursuing insights that will reframe the tragedy of losing a son.
If there is an irony regarding my return to USC, it is that I found out while doing my project with Professor Miller that, indeed, I already had enough credits to graduate in 1983. But this opportunity to reflect on my personal journey with a former mentor has been invaluable. There is more than one meaning to being a member of the Trojan Family.

yeah it's a bit daft that you can't use existing email domains with icloud.
All signs point to there being a new iphone, probably an incremental upgrade from 5 to 5s, in September along with a retina version of the mini ipad (we hope). I'd expect iOS 7 to be rolled out for that launch and should be available to existing devices within a week or two of the new devices.

Pasco gains from Family Dollar building boom
HUDSON - With shoppers hunting for bargains in a struggling economy, Family Dollar is expanding its discount store presence in Pasco County. A Hudson-area store at 12021 S.R. 52, at Shadow Ridge Boulevard west of Moon Lake Road, opened this week, according to Josh Braverman, communication director for the Family Dollar chain, based in a suburb of Charlotte, N.C. The grand opening started Thursday. A second Hudson location is under construction on Little Road a bit north of S.R. 52, on a parcel just north of the Publix-anchored Tower Oaks Terrace shopping center. That store is scheduled to open by early March, Braverman confirmed. Contractors also said new stores are in the works for the Holiday area and in Zephyrhills.Family Dollar already has three locations in West Pasco in strip centers, unlike the new, freestanding stores. Michael Martin, head estimator for K.E. Martin Development of Pasco, said the firm has landed a site work contract for locations at Alt. 19 and Holiday Lake Drive, as well as bidding on a Zephyrhills site at S.R. 54 and Cobb Road. The construction company, based in Spring Hill, has been involved in the Little Road site, too. "Pretty much all of these jobs are turnkey in four months or less," Martin said. Typically, the stores enclose about 8,000 square feet of space. Some prefabrication materials make quick assembly possible. "There's quite a few," Martin commented about the burst in expansion at Family Dollar. About 18 months ago, Dollar General was keeping Silverking Contracting Inc. busy building new stores, project manager Charles Aldrich recalled. These days, Clearwater-based Silverking is handling many Family Dollar construction projects, Aldrich said. Silverking is building the new Little Road location for Family Dollar. "It's kind of like Walgreens versus CVS," Aldrich said, referring to the expansion boom of the competing drugstore chains in recent years. Founded in 1959, the Family Dollar chain has about 6,900 stores in 44 states, employing 45,000 "team members," according to the company's website. The recession seems to have driven more value-minded customers to Family Dollar stores, judging by fast growth in sales and earnings. The firm considers its core customer to be a female head of household in her mid 40s making less than $40,000 per year. Customers drove third-quarter sales and earnings to records, according to a company news release. Net sales went up 7.8 percent to $2.153 billion in the quarter that ended May 28. Net income for the quarter increased 6.5 percent to $111.1 million. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, was 36.2 percent. Comparable store sales increased 4.7 percent in the quarter. Sales during the quarter were strongest in the consumables and home products categories. By the end of the third quarter, the chain had opened 206 stores, closed 48 and ended with 6,943 locations.
