Giorgio Armani foundation and base products are generally accepted being some of the best on the market and as someone who is always trying to find a non cakey powder foundation I was up for testing their new Lasting Silk UV Compact Foundation.
The powder foundation contains SPF34 and is supposed to last for 8 hours using the micro-fil technology, seen in their loose powder.
They say:
For the first time, a combination of highly selected spherical and bouncy powders and small particle talc create a soft, supple and gliding transparent texture that allows for a smooth even application which blends well into the skin with an even natural finish. There are 8 shades to choose from I picked 6 – Tan which is a great match for for NC35 tone skin (it's not too yellow either).
Here is the case:
This powder is silky smooth but without being too heavy and creamy. Sometimes if a powder is creamy, it can be easy to apply too much and it looks cakey. I struggle with Japanese brand powder foundations because of this.
With my skin being dry in areas, I need something that sits nicely on the skin without sticking to flaky bits.
The foundation:
Can I just say I love the sponge that comes with this! It's a really thick rubbery sponge – a proper one you can really use all over.
The foundation can be used wet or dry but I found it gave a better result dry, because it did that odd thing where the surface goes a bit hard if you put water directly on it.
I took this powder foundation away with me for a long weekend and nothing else (I never do that! I need my liquid foundation!) and it worked a treat. Despite it being a firmer textured powder (it feels more like a pressed powder than a powder foundation) it gives a good level of coverage when layered and it really doesn't look cakey.
This is a really good powder foundation if you want a decent level of coverage and a smooth even finish. Another way to wear this is with a primer and a loose powder brush – also seems to give a good result.
My other favourite western brand foundation is Nars but I think the Armani one is better, the finish is less cakey and the coverage is buildable without looking unnatural.

My colleague and I were discussing his topic on science, which was about taxonomy. Another colleague overheard what we were discussing and he butted-in and asked "What's the importance of that to our salvation?" I wasn't able to answer because I got mad and I was worried that if I gave my answer it'll just create an endless debate on science vs. religion. And we all know it's difficult to reason with a religious.
My friend said that I shouldn't mind what my colleague asked, but it really bugs me when religious people ruin intelligent conversations by including their beliefs in everything they say!

Next time just say it saves you from ignorance.
Getting mad doesn't do half as much as telling them they are acting stupid. Maybe you actually get them, or someone else who hears to think about it. Most of the time the only problem is they have never really looked.
Some questions are not entitled to an answer.
Ask him what the importance of working is to our salvation? Did Jesus ever preach that one shall work till the end of their days , or did Jesus tell everyone to STOP what they are doing , even if you are providing for your families , and venture off and convert people while owning one shirt and perhaps a walking stick .. and mmmaaayyybbbeee a pair of sandals.
I don't know what's wrong with getting mad to unambiguously demonstrate this meathead your annoyance. There probably are a lot of clever things to retort with, but who cares, getting mad and throwing some lightning bolts from your eyes probably gets this dim lightbulb to go and get saved somewhere else just as effectively.
It's very simple, Tell him that there is no importance in regards to salvation and go back to your conversation.
If he gets offended, then next time he asks a practical question or attempts to make small talk, turn his question on him.
"There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"Does it have anything to do with salvation?"
"Not anything I can think of."
"Well, then, don't bother me while I'm watching "Dancing with the Stars."


text: Hello, everyone. I'm debuting a new regular video series entitled, "Armchair Arcade TV". The first one, with the surprising name of "Episode 1" is on little known Centuri arcade game, Route 16 (Route-16), from 1981, with feature coverage of its first home translation for the Emerson Arcadia-2001 and its family of systems. Other games and systems are also featured. This is my first time on Adobe Premiere and on a new computer system, so the usual issues cropped up in the creation of this, but naturally these will improve in all ways over time, including the host segments. In the mean-time, enjoy the first episode. The full transcript follows the video.

It's now a couple of hours past half-time, and I decided on the direction for my game. I call it "Minicraft", since it's obviously going to get compared to Minecraft. 😉
Lacking is a bunch of more item interactions, more monsters, sounds, and some kind of game goal.

There are usually two different ways of doing something. The first is the correct way. The second is the easy way.
As an example of this, let's look at using the functionality of C++ standard library. The correct way is to use the fully qualified name, such as std::vector or std::chrono::milliseconds. The easy way is to have using std; and then just using the class names directly.
The first way is the "correct" one as it prevents symbol clashes and for a bunch of other good reasons. The latter leads to all sorts of problems and for this reason many style guides etc prohibit its use.
But there is a catch. Software is written by humans and humans have a peculiar tendency.
They will always do the easy thing.
There is no possible way for you to prevent them from doing that, apart from standing behind their back and watching every letter they type.
Any sort of system that relies, in any way, on the fact that people will do the right thing rather than the easy thing are doomed to fail from the start. They. Will. Not. Work. And they can't be made to work. Trying to force it to work leads only to massive shouting and bad blood.
What does this mean to you, the software developer?
It means that the only way your application/library/tool/whatever is going to succeed is that correct thing to do must also be the simplest thing to do. That is the only way to make people do the right thing consistently.

|Photo on Display at the Museum of Appalachia
I've been thinking about my recent "media blitz": I'm quite uncomfortable with it! At the annual Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) conference in Knoxville, Tennessee I was honored to receive a certificate of appreciation from the Assocation of Professional Genealogists (APG) for my leadership of the New England chapter last year. After having attended so many talks on marketing I felt obliged to announce to the four corners of the earth my humble achievement. So why do I feel uneasy?
Immediately upon receiving my award I intensified my thinking about writing an article. I've been contemplating this for quite a while, but just never seem to focus long enough to do it. As of yesterday, my blog is a year old. While I enjoy writing it, the style is off-the-cuff, casual in nature, inconsistent and fun. But because of this I don't feel it reveals much about my abilities as a genealogist. Though I make a point to mention my sources in narrative format while blogging, I do not use formal citations. I don't have to assemble vast amounts of information. No complicated analysis or corroboration is necessary. There is a lot of nostalgia and talk of my own opinions about things. It's like looking at the world through a magnifying glass, up close and personal, but with no perspective.
Blogging has been so rewarding! I've met a whole line of family that had been invisible to many of us for fifty years! We held a family reunion in the summer and my kin seemed really excited about genealogy for the first time. I've made lots of geneablogger friends, and read others' fascinating and entertaining blogs. I have even gained a few clients this way. So while I will continue to blog, I am content knowing I have a New Year's resolution ready to go.
2011––Year of the Article! Now, anyone got any good ideas?

Our drive to find families, individuals, or organizations in need of help picked up steam this week, as we received 10 nominations for Hoch Publishing Company's $1,000 Christmas donation. It's becoming obvious already that there are plenty of worthy causes in Marion County to help, so for the next week Hoch Publishing Company will add $10 to the donation for every new or renewed subscription to the Marion County Record, Hillsboro Star-Journal, or Peabody Gazette-Bulletin.
A theme continued from last week's nominations are families going through hard times because of job loss, either because of health issues or the economy. Marlene Herzet of Hillsboro nominated a family in which the husband lost his job after a fall worsened a preexisting health problem last year. The husband has found work since then, but the pay isn't as good, and he undergoes treatment for the worsened health problem.
"My hope for them would be a brighter, happier Christmas than the one last year and to ease some of the burdens they struggle with daily," Herzet said.
Kathy A. Matkins of Ramona nominated a first-time homeowner whose home needs extensive work, but who was recently laid off and didn't' qualify for any kind of unemployment assistance.
"She maintains the most positive attitude that anyone could ask for in light of her own situation," Matkins wrote. "She has volunteered and helped with all our community activities and is always looking out for the welfare of others."
A pair of anonymous readers nominated people who have had to give up their careers because of health problems.
Several Marion County organizations were also nominated this week. Jim Truax and Carolyn Gard, both of Peabody, nominated the HUB youth center in Peabody.
"The community has replaced items stolen earlier this fall, but help is needed to pay the mortgage and utilities each month," Gard wrote.
Greenwood Stables and Equine Rescue received a pair of nominations, from Wendy Gibson and Andrea Unruh of Goessel. The operators of the horse rescue take in abused, neglected, and abandoned horses, Gibson wrote.
"They have saved over 25 horses in six months," Gibson said.
Feed and vet bills have cost the operators thousands of dollars, only partially offset by giving riding lessons and offering pony rides for birthday parties and other activities, Unruh wrote.
Marion Community Christmas and Marion County Emergency Food Bank — both nominated the previous week — each received another nomination this week. Janice Waner of Peabody nominated Marion Community Christmas, and Jay and Gloria Pankratz of Lenexa nominated the food bank.
Gard's nomination form was drawn Tuesday, so she can pick up a $25 gift certificate good at select merchants at the Marion County Record office in Marion.

You need to start out with the basics in any spa setting. However, you, your staff and your clients will quickly get bored with the same old treatments. The spa enthusiast is savvier today and is seeking more out of their treatments. So, let's give it to them. Choose wisely, and do your research.
1. Choose the best treatments for you. If you like a certain treatment, chances are your clientele will, too. What I have done in the past and have suggested to my staff is to go to other spas outside your area and sample some of the treatments you don't currently do. I find this to be the best way to choose new and different services before investing.
2. You (or your staff member) liked the service. Now what? The first thing you need to do is to evaluate the cost of doing the service. Many spa services require a wet treatment room, and if you're not set up for this, it could be costly. Your best bet is to make sure your treatment rooms are multi-service, meaning you can do both wet and dry treatments. If you already have the room, then you only need to figure the cost of product per treatment. Research the best products; your clients (like you) deserve the best (and don't mind paying for the best).
3. Now that you've tried the service and gotten all the right products and space, you need to try the service on other employees. If they like it, then they'll want to perform the service. There's nothing worse than putting your time, effort and money into a new service that no one will promote. Make sure you educate your staff (including your front desk) on what the treatment does and how it will benefit the client. Make sure you even try the treatment on your front desk staff—they're the ones doing all the talking.
4. Run a special. Make sure you introduce your new treatment with flair. Make a big show out of it, and get your staff and clients excited about it. Run a special pricing for this treatment alone, and get feedback from you staff and clients. They'll be sure to let you know if they like it or not. Run the special for a month, and see how many clients re-book the same treatment again. If they do, you have a successful new treatment to add to your brochure.
If you would like a copy of our brochure, which has many exciting and different spa treatments, email me at email@example.com.

C++/CLI is an extension of the C++ programming language that adds features such as properties, events, garbage collection, and generics for all types including existing Standard C++ classes.
Visual C++ 2005 supports the .NET Framework Common Language Runtime (CLR), Microsoft's implementation of a garbage-collected virtual machine. The C++ syntax supported in Visual C++ 2005 for .NET programming has evolved significantly from the managed extensions for C++ introduced in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003. Managed extensions for C++ are still supported but have been deprecated in favor of the new syntax. Visual C++ 2005 also adds new features for native programming, including targeting 64-bit processor architectures and new library functions with improved security,
In this article, I examine C++ programs that are minimally ported to this new environment using managed extensions. This involves porting an existing legacy system to this environment [1] with minimal effort (a common approach by understaffed and overworked software maintenance teams). The purpose is to determine whether these programs are still susceptible to the buffer overflow vulnerabilities that have plagued C and C++ programs [2].
Listing One prompts users for a username and password. Regardless of the username, the program only accepts "NCC-1701" as a valid password. If the user fails to enter the proper password, the program exits. (This program is intended as a test for vulnerabilities in C++/CLI code and not as an exemplar of how to handle passwords.)
1. #include <stdlib.h> 2. #include <stdio.h> 3. #include <windows.h> 4. char buff[1028]; 5. struct user { 6. char *name; 7. size_t len; 8. int uid; 9. }; 10. bool checkpassword() { 11. char password[10]; 12. puts("Enter 8 character password:"); 13. gets(password); 14. if (strcmp(password, "NCC-1701") == 0) { 15. return true; 16. } 17. else { 18. return false; 19. } 20. } 21. int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { 22. struct user *userP = (struct user *)0xcdcdcdcd; 23. size_t userNameLen = 0xdeadbeef; 24. userP = (struct user *)malloc(sizeof(user)); 25. puts("Enter user name:"); 26. gets(buff); 27. if (!checkpassword()) { 28. userNameLen = strlen(buff) + 1; 29. userP->len = userNameLen; 30. userP->name = (char *)malloc(userNameLen); 31. strcpy(userP->name, buff); // log failed login attempt 32. exit(-1); 33. } 34. }
Execution starts on line 21 in main(). The program prompts for a username on lines 25 and 26 using a combination of puts() and gets(), resulting in an unbounded string copy from standard input into the buff character array declared on line 4. This is one of two locations in the program where a buffer overflow vulnerability can occur. The checkpassword() function is called from line 27 of main(). The checkpassword() function prompts users for a password on lines 12 and 13, also using a combination of puts()/gets(). This second call to gets() can also result in a buffer overflow in the password character array defined on the stack.
The program is compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 with the buffer security check option disabled (/GS-) and managed extensions enabled (/clr). The buffer security check is enabled by default, and it is generally a bad idea to disable it (as this example demonstrates). The /clr setting allows mixed assemblies consisting of managed and unmanaged code.
There are several warnings during the build process that are ignored; for example, "warning C4996: 'gets' was declared deprecated" and "warning C4996: 'strcpy' was declared deprecated." The compiler recommends using gets_s() instead of gets() and strcpy_s() instead of strcpy(). If these replacement functions are used properly, the possibility of buffer overflow would be eliminated [3]. However, these are only warnings and can be ignored (or even disabled). Ignoring these warnings is consistent with the scenario of minimally porting an existing legacy system.
When using managed extensions, the compiler generates Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) (renamed the Common Intermediate Language or CIL as part of the standardization process) for main() and for the checkpassword() functions. The CIL bytecodes are packaged into an executable that invokes the just-in-time compiler (JIT) to translate these bytecodes into native assembly instructions and then transfers control to main().
