One of my favorites. Great primer to prevent smudge & crease proof than other primers out there. It actually works better than UDPP on my monolid eyes! Does all the things primers should do, but for a fraction of the price. It retails for around 5 dollars. I will rebuy forsure!

2 or 3 years ago, I've read a lot of great reviews about this primer so I went to etude house and it was out of stock. I was using Urban decay primer at that time but it's expensive and not that great either. So I searched and found Lime crime eye primer (my favorite!) but I have to order it online... so A week ago, I finally got my hands on this product, and used it today!!!! and just wow! it didn't even last 4 hours! I don't know how I should use it coz U.D and L.C is both applied by finger while this one has an applicator then I spread it using my finger. I only applied it once, should I apply more???

A really excellent primer that can compete with UD primer potion and win based on performance and price. It's quite silicony as you would expect and pretty much sheer once applied, so it's not a base which will help you to counteract discolouration, but in the longevity department works just as well as UD. When the weather was hot and humid, this little gem kept my brown smokey eye in mint conditon. The packaging could be improved as it can get tricky to get to the bottom of the container with the wand, maybe a squeeze tube would be much appreciated. Overall, fantastic value for money.

I'm on my third tube of this little gem, thank you MUA for the recommendation!
I have used UD eye primer, Too Faced shadow insurance and several western drug store options and none have come close to Etude House's offering. The product is creamy but it dries nicely and sinks into the skin. As it dries to a transparent shade, it will not alter the shade of your eyeshadow. Another little plus is that is fragrance free. It's performance is stellar, I have weepy watery eyes/oily lids and a retail job that causes me to cry and question my life choices on a daily basis, BUT my eyeshadow and liner stays put.. all day long!
There is little in the way of negatives to say about Proof 10. There isn't an awful lot of product in the pot but for the price that you pay, its still excellent value considering it's performance.
I've repurchased this over and over again (usually via Korean sellers on eBay for $5ish) and I will happily continue!

I have normal eyelids and live a fairly nonstrenuous (cubicle 9-5 etc) life so I don't really put my eye makeup through the wringer like some of you gals, but this is still great stuff. I strayed from UDPP due to price, I liked the WnW Fergie just fine but it was very dry and could get patchy, and before this I was using a Maybelline Color Tattoo shadow which was good for longevity but altered the color of my eyeshadows for obvious reasons.
I picked this up for about $5 off Amazon and while it took forever to get to me (I assume it was being shipped from Korea) it is worth the wait. It comes in a cute little pot, has a lovely texture that glides on lids, a slight tint, and my shadow looks smooth, fresh, and crease-free all day. Highly recommend.
ETA: I am nearing the end of my tube and while I still adore the product inside, the tube design is rather atrocious...kinda like the early UDPPs where you have to do wand gymnastics or cut ish in h alf to get the rest of the primer out. Still a good product, still cheap, but good to be aware!

Ohhh, what a GREAT primer. So, so good. No wonder it has such high ratings.
The Pros:
- I have very, very oily eyelids. This keeps my eyeshadow in place perfectly well.
- The consistency is very thin, which means it doesn't add thickness and doesn't compete with your eyeshadows, which could weigh down your eyes and feel uncomfortable. This basically feels like nothing.
- It has a very slight tint to it, nothing major, so I always apply a full coverage concealer on top since I have very dark eyelids. I'd say the lack of a stronger coverage is the biggest con about it, even though it's not that big of a deal. In the end, it all depends on your preferences.
- Eyeshadow blends very easily on top of it.
- It's got a nice doe foot applicator, which deposits just the right amount of product.
The Cons:
- If you have dry patches on your lids, or dry lids in general, skip this, since it'll emphazise that and make the eyeshadows patchy and difficult to blend.
- The packaging is a bit annoying, with that huge wand taking space.
- It doesn't have a lot of product inside.
I highly recommend it and would definitely repurchase!

This is an excellent 10. It makes my eyeshadows last without creasing and it works. It put my Urban Decay primer potion into shame

I've only had this for a day but I'm already so impressed! My dark, sparkly eyeshadow stayed nearly perfectly on my lids for 13 hours! I had been home most of the day so I wasn't being careful with my eyeshadow; I was laying down, rubbing my eyes, etc. and 13 hours later there was only slight fading! For this performance and the price, this primer is perfect!

I'm someone who hardly do reviews, but when I do, the product is either really awesome, or just didn't work for me.
As for this, it's my HG in my makeup ever since. I was searching for a really good eye primer because I've oily double eyelids and I live in a humid country. I've tried Lime Crime and Urban Decay, which are probably claimed as one of the top few eye primers. Honestly, I've use them, it didn't work.
My friend told me this was a dupe of UD, guess what? I think Etude House did a way more than just dope. It's WAY cheaper, it holds my eye makeup a whole lot better. I can be out the whole day, perspiring like crazy, but at the end of the day, when i go home, my eye makeup is still there! I even did yoga with my makeup on, and my eye makeup still stayed on.
I've recommend this product to any friend who ask me. Can't thank my friend enough who recommended this to me!

Great Location when staying in Hollywood - convenient to Hollywood Blvd (just a right out of main doors and 3-4 blocks up)
Had never been to Los Angeles or Hollywood for that matter chose this hotel based on location and trip advisor reviews as well as being priority member ; also we did not have a car.Stayed just 2 days. Wanted to see the sights before going on a cruise out of San Pedro harbor ; in retrospect, probably should have stayed in or around Long Beach or San Pedro for easier access getting to the ship and take a tour TO Hollywood. That being said ,still the location of the hotel was great. Staff was excellent with a special shout out to both Bailey and Omar .Had made reservations months in advance asking for higher floor, .... but somehow that was not noted even calling ahead that day ...at least we were away from the elevators ! Room accommodations where fine- clean room with fridge-bed comfortable and clean smelling. Breakfast was your typical HIE fare and if that didn't float your boat -reference to the cruise ship-you could always find something in the Plaza/ shopping area.
Tours were offered and did do a tour of Hollywood which was informative but would not recommend the tour company- it was very disorganized. All in all a good place to dock for a few days - again the reference :) but if you want something a little more upscale and in the same neighborhood try the Loew's hotel.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has created a dedicated team to monitor violations of coastwise shipping rules as supporters tout the Jones Act's homeland security benefits.
Major freight railroads in the United States employed 152,426 workers as of the middle of June 2016, down 0.2 percent from the previous month and 11.55 percent year-over-year, according to data from the Surface Transportation Board.
The 8,530-TEU CSCL container vessel Xin Fei Zhou scraped its side against the wall of one of the recently inaugurated locks of the important Central American waterway, according to a report from the Associated Press.

After a weak first quarter in 2016, east-west capacity rebounded slightly in advance of the traditional summer peak season, but overcapacity, decreased volumes and low rates continued to drive carriers into the ever-changing alliance game.
The 10,000-TEU MOL Benefactor, currently serving on the G6 Alliance's Asia-U.S. East Coast NYX loop, will be the first container vessel to call a USEC port after transiting the newly opened Panama Canal expansion.
The terminal operator said all of its gate operations are running normally, with vessel schedule integrity remaining unaffected by the new verified gross mass rule, which took effect last Friday.

Hi, this is my first post. I'm starting to use wordpress and i found a little trouble.
I downloaded and activated wp-FileManager plugin but it doesn't accept the path of "Filemanager Default Home location".
I wrote "/wp-content/uploads/" but it doesn't like it: "Invalid home folder.". I tried with absolute path also but it's still wrong. I found here that must edit "config.inc.php" file and modify $home_directory variable value but i'd like someone tell me what must write and where because there are two lines with this variable and i'm not sure about the path to put in.
I didn't find others explanations online about it. Could you help me please?
Thank you

Before you throw away those soap bar slivers, consider ways that they can be used up. This guide is about using leftover pieces of soap.
I keep those slivers of soap in my sewing box. The skinny, thin slivers work great for marking my seam, or to make an X on the material. It washes off so easily. I've used it for crafts, or for sewing.
It is also good to rub over itchy seams made by thick thread or those itchy tags. Just rub it over the itchy spot and it smooths it where it doesn't irritate your skin.
By Nana Lee
When bars of soap get down to little piece, what do you do with it? Throw it out? Well there is a way to "recycle" the small pieces of soap. You can use a mesh bag, that oranges and apples come it. Cut a pieces of the mesh bag, place the soap pieces in the middle, and tie with a string. It lathers up nicely. Now when it's gone, it's gone, and you save money too!
By Irene from Williston, FL
When bars of hand soap are almost finished, getting the small remnants to stick together properly (so that they can be completely used up) can be a pain, and they certainly do not look quite right for use in the guest bathroom. If you simply stick soap bits together randomly, the ugly mass tends to hold dirty soap in the crevasses, and they tend to fall apart, anyway.
The suggested method is probably easiest with bath soap, where one uses a facecloth or sponge (or the net equivalent), although it works with smaller bars, just as well. By rubbing the sponge consistently on one side of the soap bar only, that side wears down quicker than the other, becoming concave, making it easier to ensure that the thin, remaining sliver of soap (from the almost used-up bar) fits snugly against either convex surface of a new bar.
Pressing them firmly together when both are wet results in what becomes a single, homogeneous convenient-to-use bar. If the two bars are the same color, they soon become indistinguishable as being joined components and the soap is used to the utmost benefit. What is more, your guest bathroom will not be disgraced.
And there is absolutely no waste, whatsoever.
Don't throw away bar soap that dissolves into those little irritating pieces. Save them and add water, then slowly melt them down on the stove and use as liquid soap.
Don't throw away small pieces of soap. Gather together like colors of soap (or you'll end up with an ugly colored ball.) Place scraps in a bowl, and if they are very small - great, no further work needed.
What can I do with leftover pieces of soap? Can they be microwaved and reformed?
By Julie L.
I've melted them in the microwave a few times, but it can be tricky. Line a small bowl with wax paper, put the slivers in it, and then microwave at 30% power for 15-second increments. When the soap is soft enough to stick together (the bar may be hot), squeeze it in your hands to make sure it's compact, and let it cool down. The bar will feel a little too hard to use the first few times you use it, but after that it will feel (and work) like a regular soap bar. Good luck!
I keep slivers of soap by the sink. I use a wet Q-Tip and rub it on my sliver of soap to remove spill over mascara. Works like a charm.
I regularly have many bits of soap left over. What can I do with these? It is so very wasteful. I need a method of using the last little bits.
By SAK
I buy packages of thin nylon scrubbing pads, about 4" x 5" each, from the $1 bin at the grocery or drugstore. I take a new scrubber, fold one end up about one third & sew the side edges with any old leftover thread, making a pocket.
I put the soap scraps in the pocket & tuck the other end of the scrubber into it, creating a soap filled scrubber. I add more soap scraps to it when I have them. When the scrubber is worn out, I make a new one. It's very handy to grab for just about anything that needs a little scrubbing to get clean - just moisten it with water & scrub. I keep it in a plastic caddy with drain slots suction-cupped to the inside of the sink.
What can I do with old slivers of bars of soap?
By Janice from Hays, KS
I toss small soap bars in the tray area ... where you put laundry soap in my washer. Then they slowly dissapear as the water runs over them. Just an added bonus to the washing per say. I also have done with with all my old dish soap..dishwater soap.I drain it all into my washer. Yes I have a front load and been doing it for 10+ years with no issues.
How can I use up old bits of soap? Perhaps make into fresh bars to use. Any other suggestions?
By Sandra
I crocheted (all cotton, cost $1 on sale each to buy the Peaches 'n Cream yarn) bath mitts, simple rectangles that we slide the soap and hands into for a good scrub up.
Since I made those mitts, lol, we no longer have soap bits:)
After making bars of soap from pieces, how should they be stored?

Wax paper, or the glossy side of wrapping paper.
Since I was a little girl in a house of 6 kids, we always had leftover pieces of soap. I saw a container in the Harriet Carter catalog on a product that turns old, small pieces of soap into hand soap in some kind of container. Does anyone know where I can find one, I have tried looking in the Harriet Carter catalog and they don't carry it anymore. Any help?
Thank You,
Koren form Virgin Islands
I've had a "soap saver" from Harriet Carter for years. It is very handy way to use all those little pieces of soap.
I found another source. www.ShopHomeTrends.com

Can I melt pieces of soap into big bars of soap in the microwave? Thank you.
By Terry from PA
I've never melted soap ends, but what I have done is taken the ends and pieces and tied them up in a nylon mesh and made a 'scrubbie' out of it. It's great and foams up like you wouldn't believe!
I use a plastic bag to carry my fresh set of underclothes to the gym. Outside of that plastic bag is another plastic bag. After I remove the clean underclothes just before entering the shower, I place the used underclothes in the outer bag.
I keep a plastic disposable type glass in the shower and it fits perfectly snug in the towel bar. I add all the slivers of soap with a small amount of water and use my netting shower poof to obtain the creamy soap. No more wasted soap.
Can I melt small pieces of bath soap in microwave oven and make one big bar?
By Phyllis from Tulsa, OK
You don't have to melt them in the microwave. Just put them all into a plastic container with a lid, and add hot water. The soap will soften all by itself. If you only add enough water to soften the soap, and not so much that you have a liquid soap, you can scoop some out, mold it into soap balls in your hands, and allow it to harden and dry. Then use it just as you would any other soap "bar".
I like to mold a ball around a good strong rope of braided yarn, and have a "soap on a rope" which
hangs from a hook on the washcloth bar in the shower. You can mold it into any shape you like. Balls are just nice to hold and use. Good soap retains its fragrance too, but if you like, you can add a drop or two of your favorite essential oil to the container and stir it in before molding it.
We never, ever waste soap. Incidently, the "soaps on ropes" make great camping soap.
Hope this helps you.

Several years ago I found small drawstring net bags w/liners that were sold to use for soap pieces. My whole family loves them as they lather perfectly and are a great washcloth at the same time. I think I originally found them at Bed, Bath and Beyond and/or Dollar Tree. (08/23/2010)

My father grew up in the depression, so I imagine that is where he learned it. I never questioned it, tiny, tiny soap pieces get stuck to the new bar when your in the bath/shower, handwashing, etc, and the new bar is nice and sudsy, just stick it on. You have to be careful with it for the first few uses, then it's fine. I didn't know we weren't the only ones to do it until I was much older and my roommate thought I was nuts. My parents were older when I was born, so most of my friends parents were born after the war and didn't know about rationing during the war and just plain having nothing before the war. Some of today's poor would have been considered rich during the depression. (09/05/2010)

How do you recycle bar soap pieces? Thank you in advance.
By Barbara from TX
I break them up into an empty hand soap container, add some hot water to get them started dissolving then use it for more hand soap. (10/28/2009)
By micksgirl
I bought a shower body scrubbing glove at a dollar store and simply drop the shards of soap into it and close the top with a rubber band (no sewing and you can add new pieces easily!). It lathers up nicely and I just wad it up and use it as a scrubby sponge - but I suppose you could just leave the top open and stick your hand in with the soap and use it as usual. Good luck. (10/28/2009)
By tahlula
Look at WalMart's in the face cleaning/bath brushes area and you'll find a ready made sack to insert pieces of soap to use as a body scrub. It comes in pretty colors and hangs easily on your shower knob when not in use. I just keep adding soap pieces, got several in there right now. The scrubber is great on my body, better than a wash rag. (10/28/2009)
By saintjodi
I chip them up and add a little hot water, then I add a few drops of essence oils to add a nice smell. I pour them into different shaped molds and let air dry, and when dry enough to remove from molds I lay them out to dry for about a week to make sure they dry all the way inside. Then I have soap that sells in shops for upwards of 7 dollars and more a bar. I even have my friends saving me their soap bits for this. Or you could just dissolve them into a bottle of water and have liquid hand soap. (10/29/2009)
By dcsprsmm
I always hated to throw away the small parts of soap bars when they became too small to use. Then I thought of saving them and when I have enough I melt them together in the microwave to form a larger one which I can easily use. No more wasted soap.
By Mariaemma from Moncton, NB
This is a great idea. I have a variation on this. I take all the little pieces of soap and sliver them up and put them in a pump bottle with water and let them melt down. Instant liquid soap! (05/24/2010)
By wsurfs
I put the leftovers in a little mesh bag and use them up that way. (05/25/2010)
By daiquiri
You can also put the small soap pieces in an old nylon stocking. It lathers up really well. (05/31/2010)
By Suntydt
How do you make one bar of soap from small pieces?
What can I do with all the leftover pieces of soap in the shower?
What can you do with small pieces of soap besides put on big pieces of soap?
We have all had needs for bath soap etc. and I have found that each bar costs lots of money. I have made up my mind to recycle all of the bits of soap-ends...

When the U.S. ban on trade with Cuba is lifted, plans are in place to transform Cuba's Mariel container terminal into a major transshipment hub that would serve Gulf of Mexico ports.
29 May 2016
The relaxation of U.S. rules regarding trade with Cuba has yet to translate into higher shipping volumes.
18 May 2016
Cuba's Mariel container terminal has already planned its transformation into a major transshipment hub after the U.S. trade embargo ends, according to TC Mariel General Director Charles Baker.

Brazil meat exporters had a week of both good and bad news as they seek new markets in Latin America to capitalize on the depreciation of the local currency, the real, which has recently buoyed the country's beef exports.
16 Mar 2016
The Obama Administration has made it easier for container services calling the United States to add Cuba as port of call, a small step in unleashing container trade between the two countries that has been stymied by a 56-year trade embargo.

"It is a historic day – a day for removing barriers," proclaimed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on July 20, as Cuba and America reopened their embassies and ended a 54-year diplomatic stalemate.

For the Two Gladiators, One State, One Prize; A Science Lesson, Too
Published: November 17, 2000
To the Editor:
While the civics lessons arising from the current election are clear to everyone (front page, Nov. 15), the science lessons may not be as obvious.
To those of us who require accurate quantitative measurements on a daily basis, the issue of counting ballots in Florida is not about chads or misvoting. It is about the precision of the instruments used to make the measurement.
It now turns out that to measure the will of citizens of Florida accurately, far more precise instruments were required. It is as if an odometer had been used to measure an inchworm.
With so much political capital already invested, I can only hope that regardless of the outcome, additional investment will be made to develop, test and deploy instruments with the necessary precision before the next election.

Please list Alley Cat Cafe
Please list Alley Cat Cafe
Alley Cat Cafe has been serving some of Phnom Penh's best Mexican and burgers for 8 years now. Please check us out! www.alleycatcafe.biz
#1 MarkEastty has been a member since 8/12/2013. Posts: 1
Speaking from personal experience, "Phnom Penh's best Mexican" isn't saying much. Mediocre Mexican is more like it. But it is conveniently located, near the end of an alley off Street 19, behind the Royal University of Fine Arts (which itself is behind - coming from the quay - the National Museum), and next door to the Blue Lime hotel.
#2 Archmichael has been a member since 23/7/2008. Location: Global Village. Posts: 396
I might check it out when I visit in a couple of months, I like a good burger any happy burgers on the menu?. Is it close to street 51, which I have been advised to check out. Good luck with it and take care.
#3 SilverFox has been a member since 20/12/2013. Location: United Kingdom. Posts: 9
Where has SilverFox been?
Odd-numbered streets, with a few exceptions, run more or less north-south. Numbers go up as you move west, but several numbers are skipped. After Sisowath Quay, the main through streets are 5, 13, 15, 19, Norodom Blvd., 51, 63, and then Monivong Blvd. From St. 154 south to Sihanouk Blvd., the first street in from Sisowath is Sothearos Blvd.

Silver Fox: If it's a good burger you're after in Phnom Penh, I highly recommend The Garage on street 110, just off Sisowath Quay. Great music, too.

"B/W birdie" Top 5 Page for this destination Shepparton Favorite Tip by l_joo
Shepparton Favorites: 15 reviews and 13 photos
Favorite thing: B/W birdie is a black and white bird that looks like a crow but painted partly itself in white, I don't know why a bird can be in black and white, don't know, curious and was looking over and over and took a photo to build tip for VT. I am not sure why a birdie can be built as a tip, weird, peculiar, but I think a tip of bird fits well into general tip for serious visitors to gain knowledge, eye opening, inspiring, exciting, spectacular, etc and learn to not look at non-bird objects (NBO). I am sure this a must in Shepparton, very important, do not forget to study this tip throughly should you plan to visit.

DEFINITION of 'Heston Model'
A type of stochastic volatility model developed by associate finance professor Steven Heston in 1993 for analyzing bond and currency options. The Heston model is a closed-form solution for pricing options that seeks to overcome the shortcomings in the Black-Scholes option pricing model related to return skewness and strike-price bias. The Heston model is a tool for advanced investors.
BREAKING DOWN 'Heston Model'
Stochastic volatility models use statistical methods to calculate and forecast options pricing. They are based on the assumption that the volatility of the underlying security is arbitrary. Other types of stochastic volatility models include the SABR model, the Chen model and the GARCH model. The Heston model is also a type of standard smile model. "Smile" refers to the volatility smile, a graphical representation of several options with identical expiration dates that shows increasing volatility as the options become more in-the-money or out-of-the-money. The smile model's name derives from the concave shape of the graph, which resembles a smile.

Stayed here for three nights during our time in Fes. The taxi didn't know where it was by the address, but after spending time in Fes, I realized that's probably very common. It's off a side street close to a main gate, which later made it much easier to find once we got our bearings.
The Riad, as we learned, is technically not a riad as it doesn't have a garden. That being said, it is a very nice place to stay. The rooms were large with very local decor. The riad itself it gorgeous. The woodwork and the tiles are stunning. The shower is hand held so you need to be ready for that. But the pressure is steady and the water is hot and it wasn't a problem at all.
It provides a complimentary breakfast which was fine - mostly bread products.
The staff speaks some English - enough to get by. The credit card machine was a bit wonky but it worked in the end.
While I would probably want to try other locations if I find myself in Fes again, I'd definitely recommend this place!

Sheriff's Department Seeking Information About Body Found Behind Walmart in Lancaster
Los Angeles Sheriff's Department
An intact skeleton was discovered in bushes by a loading dock back behind a shuttered Wal-Mart in Lancaster on July 5 of last year. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, seeking information about the mysterious remains, released this forensic reconstruction today.
The LASD says the man might be white or Hispanic, between 22 and 52 years old, and could be anywhere between 5'2" to 5'9", with blond or reddish hair. An injury to the left side of the man's head was partially healed at the time of his death. Forensics also indicate the he had some dental work and a healed broken nose.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Sgt. Shannon Laren or Sgt. William Cotter at (323) 890-5500.

Hello MDM,
What would you associate the color purple with? I asked for help understanding my husband. He started doing a very old habit that he put down for years. He is acting unlike himself?
I saw a flash of brilliant purple after I asked for help as I can not grasp logically what is going on. Also have you ever encountered mentally ill energy? If so what did it feel like?
Thank you!
Anonymous Coward 1437837
It was actual the violet flame consuming karma and radiating Sourxe light.
Mentally I'll energy is low vibe and easy to pick up on.
So I asked for help or a clue about hats going on and why he's reverting...does the violet flame consume his karma? Or mine? HELP :(...so confusing.
Thank you
Anonymous Coward 1437837
He is reverting because of you.... Somehow your triggering the change in him.
Any ideas?
????? YIKES. Um only thing is been role reversal. I was the bread winner now Im not. Now we both work. We are starting a business in the spring but till then it takes two. I am not laying down and taken his drinking lightly. I will not tolerate it. I have tried to give him space and tried to beat it out of i can him 2..lol. I am not a timid woman by any means. So yeah I can push when pushed on. My parents were involved in a car wreck that killed my mom and my dad served time for it as it was his car that hit her and her car burst into flames. It was my brothers 21st bday and he passed 7years latter because he never forgave him self for it and drank him self right into acute pancreatic shock and bleed to death at 28 years old. SO before we married and we had been together 9 years before we married he knew no drinking!!!!!! So how would I be making him regress? I mean he stopped all those years ago because I left and he put it down and never picked it up till 6mnths ago two years into our marriage and 7 after he stopped.
Please note when he drinks it's like he's checked out. Like he's taken some drug..not cool at all. So if this would be me..then how? He believes I have not grown nor healed and I am the one with issues about drinking and he knows who he is hes grown.. then why cant I?? But I can have drink and have shown him I can.
Sorry or the wall o text! Sorry if it's scattered thoughts. I am like on scramble these days!
Please verify you're human:

Stayed one night on Easter weekend, could have booked other hotels for the same rate but chose this one because it had a fairly high rating on tripadvisor and staff were friendly on the phone. Not the best decision I have ever made. Right away the lobby bathrooms were disgusting which pretty much set the mood for the rest of the stay. Our room was fine, but obviously no vaccuming done because there was loads of dust and hair around the corners of the floor. There was an old mess of something left on the side of one of the beds (looked like vomit) but we only realized after we got all settled in. I called the front desk and said we could just share the other bed for the night and they offered a discount "to be determined the next morning." They ended up giving us $30 off our rate of $120 which in my opinion is pathetic considering the issue. I understand that it was a busy weekend and they can bump the rates but there is no way this facility is worth $90 per night on it's best day. The room should have been free after finding what we found on the bed. Not to mention the "free wifi" included in the price didn't work at all. We were told that when a concrete building of that size is full of people, the wifi signal cant reach most places. Poor excuse in my opinion, bigger concrete buildings have figured it out. Also, free parking is advertised but there's only about 20 stalls and otherwise you have to park in a dirty back alley. Unless you are getting this hotel for an amazing deal, I advise to stay away. The only thing it has going for it is nice staff.

- Questions
Here tests and questions will have m2m relationship. Which might be represented by a mapping class, please correct me if I am wrong.
This class can have
many questions and
many tests.
But I am still confused about how my data model can be designed when a student takes tests and attempts question.
A class that may be called
Attempts which will have answers(possibly wrong) given by the student, should it belong to students or tests or both?
I want to design an "Attempts" class so that when I look at an instance of it I can know what test it belong to as well as which student took it.
My current classes look like following

Brokeback Mountain versus "Brokeback Mountain"
Last night I went to Harvard Exit for the 7:30 Brokeback Mountain, got turned away, walked to the Egyptian and bought tickets for the 9:50, went somewhere and read for a while, showed up to the movie early, watched the theater fill up, saw the movie, didn't cry, went home. This will come as a shock to no one, but I didn't really like it. Whereas the short story it's based on ruined me. The short story is so much better. Bear with me.
First, the two actors wear too much make-up. In order to believe what the story requires you to believe (that in spite of their undeniable pull toward one another they are, Ennis in particular, too stoic and rough-spoken and beholden to the world's idea of men to allow themselves to create what could be a life together) you have to believe they are roughened men, and gobs of foundation and blush do not a rough man make. A technical point, but highly distracting. Second, the movie (even though it's so damn long) leaves some things that were in the story out, things I'd argue make the whole thing stronger, like Ennis's fevered, cartoonish, lurid-colored dreams about Jack at the end. Third, in the movie, Jack is jonesing for a fuck from the get-go, posing against his truck, checking out Ennis in a mirror, whereas in the story their attraction is weirder, harder to explain, they discover they're into men through each other, and the sex is as unexpected and exhilerating to each of them as it is to the reader. In the movie, again, there is preening, and even a shot, before they ever touch, of Ennis sticking his ass up into the air as he's crawling around drunk that made the audience laugh and laugh. There are lots of these kinds of laughs in the movie. The story has none of this baiting or campiness. Fourth, in the movie you just don't get the interior state (obviously, it's a movie), but these men's interior lives are precisely what's at stake. The scene in the movie that corresponds to this moment in the story (the men have parted after their first summer together, and as they do so Enis realizes the agony that will accompany not seeing Jack anymore) just doesn't do justice to the following, in the story's low-register tone:
"Well, see you around, I guess." The wind tumbled an empty feed bag down the street until it fetched up under the truck. "Right," said Jack, and they shook hands, hit each other on the shoulder; then there was forty feet of distance between them and nothing to do but drive away in opposite directions. Within a mile Ennis felt like someone was pulling his guts out hand over hand a yard at a time. He stopped at the side of the road and, in the whirling new snow, tried to puke but nothing came up. He felt about as bad as he ever had and it took a long time for the feeling to wear off.
In the movie, Heather Leger tries to throw up, punches a wall, and then yells at someone for looking at him. Fifth, the cinematography — isn't it wonderful? isn't it amazing? Uh, I guess — is it hard to be amazing when you're taking shots of clouds and mountains? Is it as hard as writing sentences like: "Dawn came glassy-orange, stained from below by a gelatinous band of pale green." Or: "The sooty bulk of the mountain paled slowly until it was the same color as the smoke from Ennis's breakfast fire." Sixth, the dialogue is so much better when Jake Gyllenhaal isn't delivering it. Seventh…. ah hell, I'll let you get back to your day. This is what I'm trying to say: for it's economy and mystery and surprise and lasting sadness, the short story is a greater artistic achievement than the movie. It just is. I had a fight about this earlier today with Annie Wagner (who loved the movie, which is great, there's a lot to like, although it's just not done as well as the story is). She will now undoubedtly weigh in with something that sounds smart on technical terms but lacks something. (Feeling?) This is because she read the story after she saw the movie.

I'm using a static array of objects defined in XAML as my ItemsSource on a list box.
I use:
ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource theSource}}".
This works great at design time. However, I need to override this at run time so the list box will take it's items from a collection property on my view model. I exposed a Property Named "theSource" and set the Window DataContext in code behind. However, the list is still bound to the static resource... not to the property on my view model.
Any suggestion on the right way to have Design Time data for visualizing the UI and replace with live data at run time?

Carl Sagan's Cosmic Connection: An Extraterrestrial Perspective (Hardback)Carl Sagan, Jerome Agel
Hardback Published: 31/08/2000
- Can be ordered from our supplier
In 1973, Carl Sagan published The Cosmic Connection, a daring view of the universe, which rapidly became a classic work of popular science and inspired a generation of scientists and enthusiasts. This seminal work is reproduced here for a whole new generation to enjoy. In Sagan's typically lucid, lyrical style, he discusses many topics from astrophysics and solar system science, to colonization of other worlds, terraforming and the search for extraterrestrials. Sagan conveys his own excitement and wonder, and relates the revelations of astronomy to the most profound human problems and concerns: issues that are just as valid today as they were 30 years ago. New to this edition are Freeman Dyson's comments on Sagan's vision and the importance of the work, Ann Druyan's assessment of Sagan's cultural significance as a champion of science, and David Morrison's discussion of the advances made since 1973 and what became of Sagan's predictions.

We have designed a special purpose computer system for visualizing fluid flow using digital holographic particle tracking velocimetry (DHPTV). This computer contains an Field Programmble Gate Array (FPGA) chip in which a pipeline for calculating the intensity of an object from a hologram by fast Fourier transform is installed. This system can produce 100 reconstructed images from a 1024×1024-grid hologram in 3.3 sec. It is expected that this system will contribute to fluid flow analysis.
© 2008 Optical Society of America
1. Introduction
Analysis of fluid flow is required in various research fields, for example, aerophysics and medical engineering. Holographic particle image velocimetry systems have been studied since they have some appealing advantages. For example, they use high-quality information and allow the recording of an instantaneous three-dimensional velocity field[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
Moreover, digital imaging technology is improving rapidly. Digital holographic techniques can easily capture the time evolution of particles using a digital camera. Members of our group have developed a complete digital holographic particle tracking velocimetry (DHPTV) system that does not use photographic films; instead it captures three-dimensional velocity vectors by using a high speed digital camera[6]. High-speed reconstruction of a particle field was successfully performed using a fast Fourier transform (FFT)[4, 5]. However, this method requires a high-speed computer to reconstruct three-dimensional images. To overcome the computational cost, we designed a special purpose computer system for DHPTV, hereafter referred to as FFT–HORN1. FFT was used for the image reconstruction. FFT–HORN1 can deal with 256×256 holograms [7]. However, in our DHPTV system, the digital camera grid size was 1024×1024. We were able to improve the FFT–HORN system to deal with more than 1024×1024 grid size holograms by utilizing an external RAM unit, FFT–HORN2. In this paper, we will report the results of the reconstruction from 1024×1024 grid size holograms.
2. Algorithm for DHPTV
From the Fresnel-Kirchoff diffraction equation, the equation for reconstruction is given by
where ϕ (xi,yi, zi) is the amplitude of the object light at point (xi,yi, zi), λ is the wavelength of the reference light, Iα is the intensity of the hologram at point (xα,yα,0), k is the wavenumber of the reference light, and N is the number of divisions of the hologram grid in the x or y directions. Note that in Eq. (1), the hologram is in the z=0 plane. Furthermore, using the Fresnel approximation under the assumption that |zi|≫|xα-xi|, |yα-yi|, we obtain
We introduce a new function defined by the following equation,
Substituting Eq. (4) into Eq. (3) we obtain
Equation (5) is the two-dimensional convolution integral about the x and y directions and is transformed by a two-dimensional Fourier transform,
where Φ(n,m) is the two-dimensional Fourier transform of ϕ (xi,yi,zi),Î(n,m) is the transform of Iα, and G(n,m) is the transform of g(x,y).
Here, we calculate the Fourier transform of g(x,y) and obtain
where ΔP is the grid size of the hologram.
The calculation for three-dimensional image reconstruction is carried out from reproductions in several divided sections in the z-direction. Each plane is reconstructed keeping z constant. To calculate Eq. (3), the method described below was developed:
- calculate Î(n,m) from Iα
- evaluate G(n,m) (Eq. (7))
- calculate Φ(n,m)=Î(n,m)×G(n,m)
- calculate ϕ (xi,yi, zi) by using a two-dimensional inverse Fourier transform.
From the second plane, step 1 can be omitted because Î(n,m) is the same when the same hologram is used.
3. Hardware design of FFT–HORN2
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of FFT–HORN2. This pipeline can calculate the intensity of an object using the algorithm above, with all calculations being fixed-point operations. The numbers under the slashes are the word lengths of the data over that line.
The FFT–HORN control unit controls the data flow in the pipeline to calculate the intensity of the object. The FFT CALC unit evaluates the FFT and the inverse FFT (IFFT). Here we use a Xilinx LogiCORE for the FFT CORE, which can perform a one-dimensional FFT. The G-pipeline unit evaluates Eq. (7). The Multiplier unit calculates Î(n,m)×G(n,m). The POST–Processing unit operates normalization and threshold processing. The RAM control unit controls reading and writing to the external DDR–SDRAM unit.
The hologram data (input data I in Fig. 1) are stored in the DDR–SDRAM unit through the RAM control unit. The data are sent to the FFT CALC unit for calculation of Î(n,m). The FFT CALC unit can perform a one-dimensional FFT. Hence one-dimensional FFT is performed twice in this pipeline to calculate the two-dimensional FFT. During the calculation, the one-dimensional FFT results are saved temporarily in the DDR-RAM unit. Next, the G-pipeline unit evaluates G(n,m) using the input data P1(P1=(λzi)/(N 2ΔP)) and Î(n,m)×G(n,m) is calculated in the Multiplier unit. The results are sent to the FFT CALC unit and IFFT is performed in the FFT CALC unit. Lastly, the normalization of results and threshold processing are carried out in the POST–Processing unit.
We designed the FFT–HORN2 chip using a Xilinx ISE. We used the FPGA board (HORN–5 board) for FFT–HORN2. The HORN–5 board, which has been developed by Chiba university and the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), has four FPGA chips, Xilinx XC2VP70–5FF1517C [9]. The chip is equivalent to about 7,000,000 gates. FFT–HORN2 connects to the host computer through a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus. The host computer controls FFT–HORN2, writes the intensity data of the hologram to FFT–HORN2 and sends the start signal. After FFT–HORN2 finishes calculating the intensity data of the object, the host computer reads the data.
Fig. 1.
4. Performance
The clock frequency of the FFT–HORN2 is 133 MHz. There is one calculation pipeline and a control unit for the calculation in a FPGA chip. We compared the calculation time of FFT–HORN2 with that of a personal computer. The specifications of the personal computer are as follows: Intel Pentium 4 3.2-GHz CPU, 2.0 GB of memory, Microsoft Windows XP operating system and Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. The FFTW subroutine library ver. 3.1.2 is used for FFT calculation [8]. Table 1 shows the calculation time for 100 reconstructed images from a hologram with a 1024×1024 grid. The calculation time of FFT–HORN2 was 3.3 sec, while the calculation time of the PC was 23.7 sec. Hence, the calculation speed of FFT–HORN2 was about 7 times faster than that of the personal computer.
Next, we show the hologram and the images reconstructed with FFT–HORN2. Figure 2 shows a 1024×1024-grid hologram of the system. Water was used for the working fluid and the injected particles were 1-micron nylon spheres. The water flow was from left to right in a micro channel of width 101.9µm. The grid size of the hologram (ΔP) was 0.4µm. For this simulation, holograms were generated by the system described in detail in Ref. [10].
Figure 3 shows the image reconstructed by FFT–HORN2. The reconstructions of the particles by the computer hologram algorithm were 36µm from the CCD surface. In Fig. 3, the black small objects are the reconstructed particles. This result shows FFT–HORN2 reconstructs the image exactly. Figure 4 is the movie of reconstructed particles flow.
Next, we reconstructed the image of a section parallel to the x − z plane (Fig. 5). Here, sections parallel to the x-y plane were reconstructed at a fixed pitch in the z-direction (Δz=0.4µm) from z=23.2µm to z=50.8µm (reconstructing 70 images). The right side figure of Fig. 5 represents the x-z plane in the center of the black square region in the left side figure of Fig. 5. In this figure, the size of the particle changes in the z direction. This occurs because
of a special feature of the holography; namely, that the particle exists where the particle size is smallest. From this, this system can be used for the estimation of particle positions.
Fig. 2.
Fig. 3.
5. Conclusion and future work
We have designed and built a special purpose computer, FFT–HORN2, for DHPTV. Its clock frequency is 133 MHz and it can reconstruct 100 images from a 1,024×1,024-grid hologram in 3.3 sec. Hence, this special purpose computer system can be used for the estimation of particle positions and it is expected that this system will improve the efficiency of analysis in DHPTV.
The HORN–5 board has four FPGA chips. And the host computer which we use has four PCI bus connectors. We are devloping the FFT–HORN2 cluster system so that the intensity of an object can be calculated. In a preparatory experiment, the calculation speed of FFT–HORN2 cluster using 16 FPGA chips is about 100 times faster than that of the personal computer(Table 2). The details of this system will be described in the next our research paper. It is expected that this cluster system will result in faster reconstructions of a three-dimensional image.
