I have a love/hate relationship with this product.
What I love:
-Liquidish texture, which is very easy to work with.
-Velvety finish.
-Good color match.
What I hate:
-Not sensitivity-friendly.
-Can be drying.
-Not long lasting.
I have combination skin and this product is great on those days when my skin is moisturized and not irritated. However, when the weather is drier this foundation can be quite drying as well... This foundation lasts about 6 hours without retouching. After that, if kind of fades away.

I'm leaving this for people that used the original formula....
Why oh why did you change it Dior!!! It was perfect as it was and now you've changed the formula. The SA said the shades were identical!! No way!! I was 020 light biege. The new 020 is much darker!!! I'm gutted and as a result have defected to another brand (that I wish I'd found earlier as is even more perfect than the original dior nude skin!).
p.s my new HG... See my post for Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua

I feel like I am always constantly disappointed by Christian Dior products. Beautiful packaging followed by a mediocre product. Not bad- just nothing worth spending that amount of money on. I bought this foundation at Sephora for $48+ tax in the lightest shade (1) which is a little too dark for me. I am fairly pale and this is a foundation that has the closest match to my skin tone that I have ever tried so good pale point there- not sure about how dark the shades run. One thing I instantly noticed was that the undertones were neutral, a bit on the pink side. If you are looking to neutralize yellow undertones I'm sure this will work fine but for people with pinker skin tones like myself, this will definitely enhance them. The foundation has a very classic Dior scent if you have tried any of their other foundations or concealers, this is the same thing so if you have sensitive skin maybe not the best. It does have a dewy finish and fairly long lasting power but I just don't really like how it lasts. If I put on more than one layer or even a thicker layer, it just kind of melts and stays put so I look like I have a liquid on my face (not really sure how to describe it) which I definitely do not like. And it will stay put like that for the whole day just looking really freakin bizarre. I do have very dry skin but maybe you really need to have mature skin to appreciate this foundation. I definitely will not buy this again since I can think of 5 foundations off the top of my head that are about half the price that give me a better 'dewy' result. I will use up my bottle though since there is nothing so tragic about it to make me discontinue use. I would say that if you have dry/mature skin you may enjoy this but not oily or combo skin types.

This is the replacement version on the old nude liquid and its such a come down. The old version was my HG and im devastated this is the replacement I HATE IT!. I feel like i am waring a mask with this version the old one was lught and dewy. I also started to look orange towards the afternoon which NEVER happened with the older one. This light beige is far too dark for a 020 shade the older one in the same shade is two shades lighter its so annoying!. Will try chanel aqua lumiere as a replacement now as this is not lightweight or dewy anymore its more like a cheap foundation!

Hi all! I'm new on here but I love makeup that makes you flawlessly natural and recently have had more time to be online so I can hopefully write more reviews.
This is THE BEST on my skin and has kept my skin gorgeous every single day (I'll let it breathe on weekends). For something I've been wearing for years, i am very loyal to this!
I LOVE Dior makeup! I didn't used to be this obsessed, slowly but surely a lot of my basic holy grail products have been replaced by Dior.
I started with the flawless extreme wear Forever foundation like ten years ago when I didn't have makeup, was over at a gfs place who had the same skin tone and had to use hers. OMG it changed my life (and my fb profile photos lol). I was addicted. Before that I was a Chanel junkie mixed with some shiseido and then dabbled in YSL. Clinique somehow never agreed with my skin, and despite all the allergy testing, it ALWAYS broke me out!
Enter three years ago when I wasn't really making good with my expenses and decided my makeup was too expensive, I can go with a cheaper, good drugstore brand right? WRONG! For about a year I was fine, switched off on one between maybeline, loreal, whatever was seemingly new and fresh and it was working ok.... Until surely, my skin started to look worse and worse.. At first I thought its the quality of food or maybe stress , maybe a combination of things of course but one day it was HORRIBLE! I woke up with the last years mistake on my face. My skin was gross, pimples all over and I was devastated. I had always had amazing skin, what was I doing wrong? I realized soon enough it was the makeup! I went back to my makeup person at dior and they recommended a more natural approach to my skin since it was bad at the moment.
The Mineral Foundation that DiorSkin Nude is, has definitely saved my skin the last few years! Absolutely will not use anything else. Even though it's just makeup-this has helped with my routine to keep my skin looking amazing again. It does not irritate me and for using it almost every single day, I can say it has made my skin look better and not worse! ABSOLUTELY worth it!! I've tried other foundations the last year here and there and nothing has compared to how my skin has loved this one- even when it's not on.
You must put this on and blend right away as it dries fairly quickly, I use Laura mercier radiance primer before because I l lOve that extra glow I get and it takes care of a smoother surface. Now, I also have to add that I cleanse, tone, moisturize and prime before this goes one and it usually gets set with the forever compact for a more airbrushed look (if I want more coverage-like at night or events) - but during on the go summer days that I have no time or when traveling with a group and I can't be doing a long routine and make them all wait, I wash, moisturize and slap this on and go... Almost like a bb cream ritual but better coz it covers lol. It's amazing on me either way and I have gotten so many compliments on my skin.
It's a beautiful bottle, lasts me a while because LESS is more with Dior products and it also last me all day. One small pump/squirt is enough for my face and neck. More than that will be too much and I can definitely see where it can look unnatural (but this goes with all brands).
I definitely recommend this. Flawless, natural coverage that lets your skin breathe. I also have dry skin during the winter or sometimes when it's too dry out- that's NOT the foundations fault! I have never had a problem with this looking cakey or drying. If my skin is extra dry I just apply the foundation with a buffing motion with a more buffing foundation brush as if I'm hiding pores- and viola, I'm airbrushed without looking too fake. :)
Hope this helps. Sorry it's so long!

What I did like about this product was how light it felt on the face. The only thing is I don't think I got the right colour for me and therefore looked slightly paler than usual.
Having the SPF was a plus but the downside is that it expired well before I got through a quarter of the bottle. Being glass, I wish Dior did take it back for recycling, perhaps I'd feel less guilty for spending that much money on something that I probably used 4 times.
I LOVE this product! However, I am only giving four stars because of their limited color ranges and the glass bottle (it scares me to use in the bathroom for fear of breaking on tile). Coverage is FLAWLESS. I will never go back to another foundation.
Before I bought this I was an ardent Clinique user. I used the Clinique equivalent but it pales in comparison to this. I love this foundation it is shear enough to to look natural but tented enough to cover imperfections.
It is very pricey but I am addicted.
I've used MakeupForever, Bobbi Brown, Lancome and Chanel Vitalumiere foundation and when I ran out, I switched to Dior Nude cuz I heard so many good things about the product, seeing that it is a very popular foundation among Asian women.
First off, I'm Korean and I have medium to combination skin. They recommended 030 which was a good match to my skin tone while 023 was a better match for Dior Forever (got a sample of this one as well).
After using this for 2 weeks, I'm honestly disappointed. While Dior Nude is supposed to be the more sheer option, it looks a bit cakey and not as silky as Chanel or Lancome ones despite the fact that I use the same method of applying all of them using a brush. I also found the texture of this product to be more powdery and cakey when applied than Lancome or Chanel. The coverage is sheer to medium but still felt a bit heavy on my skin due to the fact that it looked kinda cakey. I'm not sure what it is but I found the chanel and lancome ones more hidrating on the skin.
The packing of the product is ok, but I think it is a bit of a standard packaging for a designer brand. Personally I prefer Bobbi Brown or Chanel packaging cuz they are a bit more compact and easy to carry in a makeup bag.
Also, it was extremely expensive for the quality of the product so I won't be repurchasing when it runs out - a lot of which I have left.

Very disappointed with this foundation! The Cover Girl 3-in-1 is wayyyy better, IMO.
I do like the packaging, the shade (second lightest matches me well, and I'm Ecru in ELDW), and the ease of application. But this is where my liking ends.
I'm combination to oily, and this foundation looks very patchy on the apples of my cheeks, which only happens with poor quality foundations. It looks horrible and I cannot camouflage the patchiness in any way.
If it wasn't for this, I'd like it. It has good coverage (medium-full), and doesn't make me oily. Wears well and gives a nice satin-matte look to my face. But it's all pointless if my cheeks look the way they do.
I will try to return, and buy my go-to foundation for daily wear, Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hr.

On the Edge
Time Out saysHere's a one-off, or rather three-off: a trio of sci-fi short stories, each directed by a leading actress. Mirren's 'Happy Birthday' (ex-Keith Laumer) is the most flamboyant, an ironic winning-through parable, with Poitier prevailing in an over-populated futuristic hell. 'The Other Side' (ex-Bruce Holland Rogers) is Masterson's adaptation of a yarn about technology gone awry: a dying scientist hopes to live on via his clone, but the clone has other plans. Heche's 'Reaching Normal' (ex-Walter M Miller) suffers most from the compulsory brevity: its complicated plot, involving psychic twinning, cries out for more leisurely development. Memel directed the wraparound bits and produced (for cable and on a frugal budget) this intriguing if only fitfully satisfying package.

Now that I can fly my Stryker, I have ?????
Ok I just flew two more packs through my Stryker tonight and so far I really like this model BUT!!!!!. Flight times are less then ten min at 1/2 to 3/4 power with short full power bursts. Also it is not quite as quick as I was hoping. Although it is fairly quick and handling is great I think it could be a tad quicker. I plane on leaving the stock system in place btu would like to upgrade performance just a tad. I am hoping that if I can increase speed a bit then I can backoff and have slightly longer run times.
Maybe a non lipo type battery upgrade??????? Any ideas here on other 8.4 volt packs that can help me out??????? How about a different prop to go with these batteries???????
Oh I am flying it in mode B with the control rods moved down one hole to increase throws. It does not seem to overly sensitive and I perfer the way it handles at these settingings. I love buzzing low to the ground just above the tall grass. Mind you I do not fly like this anywere but out over grassy fields in the country. When I fly at parks I keep it up in the air and watch carefully what is going on in the air and around me.

Going to a different non lipo battery is going to be hard, as you increase voltage in your NiMH battery, you're adding weight as well. It's quite a balancing act.
You will get both more time and more power if you go to lipo's. Unfortunatly, a 2100 TP costs about 70 bucks and then you'll need a charger (cheap ones are about $50). It's a really good boost, and then later on, you can switch out the stock motor with a brushless.
The downsides? Your motor will have reduced life. How much? depends on how hard you push it. I've been runing lipo's in my brushed slowstick for a long time and it's still flying great. Cost is another big factor
The Benefits? Double your flytime, and more power to boot

Wish I had the same luck...with my Lipo, and stock setup the speed control heats up pretty quickly and I get intermittent control for a few seconds until it cools off...even with holes in the cover for cooling. Advice with Lipos on a stock setup...run it at half power and just 'goose' the throttle when you want to get some speed/altitude quick...otherwise you can also smoke the Lipo or the speed controller.
Rat...are you using the 8 cell? I get about 8-10 minutes full throttle with that.

How many flights do you have so far? It takes 5-10 charges for a NIMH to reach its full potential.
|Nov 19, 2004, 05:27 AM
I will not be going lipo for quite some time. I will stick to the Nimh batteries for a while since that is the safer bet. I just feel that there has to be a better 7 cell 8.4 volt battery out there then the ParkZone/HobbyZone batteries.
|Nov 20, 2004, 08:35 PM
Well I purchased another charger last evening to see if the problem was in the charging of the bats. I purchased a Dynamite Vision Peak Ultra, this charger is capable of charging Ni-Cd Ni-Mh and 1-3 cell Li-Po. I will give this a shot and see how it goes.
Any other ideas??????
|Nov 20, 2004, 09:38 PM
I know almost nothing about mod'ing a plane (being a newbie), but I do remember people saying a different prop than the stock one in the slo-v made a big difference. Maybe someone can chime in with a suggestion?
|Nov 20, 2004, 09:56 PM
The Slo V works real well with a GWS 1180 prop and the 7 cell battery pack from the parkzone J3 cub. I would not mind finding a better prop for my Stryker.
|Nov 20, 2004, 09:59 PM
Now that I have a aftermarket charger, I will be buying the 8 cell pack for the Stryker to give it a try.

8 cells, Kan 1050, CBP 1050 or GP1100 will make a substantial difference. The CBP packs are about $20 a pop and quite worth the money.

Have you adjusted the elevons for more 'throw' in the turns? It turns the stock STRYKER rolls into out and out CORKSCREWS...too fun.
I, too have the Dynamite Charger... same one...quick charges also seem to knock off a minute or two. I will charge the 7 cell at about 1amp and the 8 cell at 1.10 amp if I have the time.
I have Three NIMH packs; a guy I know has 5....that way you get '20-30' minutes with a few pit-stops.
Keep us updated.
|Nov 21, 2004, 06:18 AM
Rat - just a thought never charge hot NiMh batteries or they will false peak - i.e. won't take on a full charge.
|Nov 21, 2004, 10:48 AM
I have found the CBP/KAN cells to be OK for a speed 300, but they don't hold their voltage too well on anything larger. OTOH, the GP's are strong enough to run a 4 turn Mega (at 23 amps) without any problems. The GP's are more $$$, but if you intend at some point to go BL, upgrading now would keep you from buying battery packs twice and save $$$ in the long run.

You're very much the odd one out then; I have lots of KAN/CBP cells and have used them for a wide variety of applications. They're at their best in the 10-12A range, which is spot-on for 400-size motors.
Are you sure you're not confusing these with the KAN 650? I've run the CBP1050's at 20A, and while they're not really happy there, they still put out.
You're right of course about the GP's; they're definitely the better cell. Much more expensive though, and if you intend to go Lithium at some point may not be a good investment after all.

Nars Blush-Bronzer Duo Reviews
Not horrible, but not amazingThis may be a little over priced for what it is. It's just a dark bronzer with little specks of glitter and a blush that is way too glittery. However, I like how it's a blush and bronzer duo, it's convenient. Laguna is a deep brown with specks of gold glitter. The glitter doesn't show up on the skin as much as the blush. The blush looks good in dim light, but when you're out in the sun or under br...read moreight light, the glitter is very noticeable. To be honest, I wouldn't repurchase. It's too expensive for not being my favorite blush nor bronzer. It's overall an OKAY product for me. — 1 year, 4 months agohleeee | 209 reviews
great comboLooovveee this duo. So great. It's great for all skin tones-not too dark for pale people like me and the blush is such a great color that goes with everything- day, night, work, evening out, etc. You can wear it lightly or a few more layers to make it really pop that great peachy pink color. A little pricey but definitely worth it. — 1 year, 3 months agoelizabeth_axe | 35 reviews
LOVEIf I could only take 1 product with me anywhere this would be it! great colors, coverage and multiuse — 2 years, 2 months agolcrewz | 2 reviews
Great comboI bought the Laguna/Orgasm combination and I love it. Great pigmentation. The blush is not too shimmery that it brings out my pores. It adds a natural glow to my cheeks that make me look healthy and doesn't accent my pores like other blushes do. The bronzer could be applied by itself, it such a great color and highly pigmented. — 2 years, 8 months agoDonnaFay | 11 reviews

Orgasm/Laguna duoLOVE this. Got this with a highligher. They are beautiful and look good on most skin tones. Nars simply makes great products! — 2 years, 11 months agowritedawne | 8 reviews
Best Blush/Bronzer DuoI contour with Laguna and add 0rgasm to the apples of my cheeks. Amazing! I am so addicted to 0rgasm as well. I use a lot since I am tanned so it won't last as long as it will for others, but I don't care. I love, love, love these colors. 0rgasm goes well with SO many skin tones as well. It really does live up to the hype for me. — 2 years, 11 months agon_yang85 | 40 reviews

Nice!I bought the Angelika/Laguna duo a few weeks ago and I love it! I've never used bronzer before because I wasn't sure how to use it but the sells woman showed me a trick that looks great. You take your brush filled with bronzer and make an E and a 3 on your face (forehead to cheek to chin). I have fair skin and these products look great on me. Just don't use too much blush! Very little goes a long way. — 2 years, 11 months agoCourty | 12 reviews
Review subjectLove all their bronzers, Deff. worth the money — 3 years, 6 months agoJasna | 23 reviews
I wish I would have just bought the blush on its own.I own this in the Cabana/Orgasm duo. Though I LOVE the orgasm, the cabana bronzer kind of blows. The bronzer goes on too sheer for me. The orgasm blush is great though. The color payoff is high and it is the longest lasting blush I've ever own! — 3 years, 10 months agokimmy1480 | 99 reviews
Orgasm/LagunaThe name is over-the-top, yes, I am aware, but the product in itself is GORGEOUS. The blush is pink and shimmery, and gives that perfect glow. The bronzer is beautiful too. However, the product is not anything that special. You can get a good dupe at ELF (the Studio Bronze/Blush Duo, $3). One star off for the price. — 3 years, 10 months agoj9sun | 28 reviews

any tips would be great
I recently began running again after about 6 months of virtually no exercise. Prior to this I used to go to the gym 3-4t imes a week and ran on the treadmill.
Now I run outside, mostly on the pavement and have been 3 times a week for a month. I've read that running on hard surfaces can result in lower leg injuries. In my neighbourhood there isn't any off-road areas to run, I noticed that after the first few runs, I had pain in the front of my calves. This tends to disappear fairly quickly, though today the pain came on at the start of my run -even though I had rested the day before.
I realise this may be the result of my leg muscles 'getting used to exercise again, but I would welcome any tips on serious injury prevention.
Other information - I run 3 times a week, currently 2.5 miles, at a pace of about 9.30 mins per mile. Plus I tend to walk for few minutes half way through a run (or at equal intervals) to extend my session and not get too knackered! I am gradually building up the distance each week by approx half a mile.
I also do weight resistance training 2 times a week- though this is restricted to upper body. Any advice on leg exercises that can be done at home would be helpful.
I rest on the other 2 days.
Running shoes - I bought what I could afford unfortunately and didn't have much awareness of the different types until recently. They do feel comfortable, though I wonder if they could be a factor in the leg pain?
Again, any advice would be appreciated.
Hi Chris - unless your trainers are specifically for running it is almost guaranteed that they are the cause of your pain. I can't stress how important it is to go to a good running shop, have your gait analysed and get a good pair of runners, I know they're pretty expensive but if you want to run, they're essential.
Other than that, you're doing pretty well. Build up your distance slowly (no more than 10% increase at a time), stretch afterwards (all major muscle groups - calves, hamstrings, quads etc). Rest your legs the day after a run to give you the strength for your next run as you build your distance.
Running on hard surfaces doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get injured, I've been road running for ten years and the only injury I've ever had was due to a muscle imbalance.

"First of all, I don't think these reviewers even know what an authentic german brew tastes like." - umm, excuse me? I've been to Germany and had the beer there, thanks. This place brews a pale ale, a brown ale, a stout, a black cherry lambic - none of which are remotely Geman styles. And their hefe was not a good brew when I tried it.
I have no vendetta, business interests across the street (the parking garage?) nor am I a national brand drinker. And I wouldn't know anyone else on this site if they came up & bit me on the behind. I do, however, know what a good beer tastes like and do want to see local breweries succeed on their merits. Tell ya what - I'll hit Suds again next time I'm in Syracuse, and I'll keep these recent postitive reviews in mind when I do. And I'll post my honest opinion of the beer.
I travel a lot on business, enjoy good beer and rely on the reviews in Pubcrawler for advice. I have written a few negative reviews myself. Management, as well as those involved in the preparation of food and beer should appreciate honest feedback.
However there is a nasty, mean, even vicious quality to many of the most recent reviews. Urine, boot polish, paint thinner. This may be good for a few yucks, but it isn't helpful. Also there is similarity in the writing style, phrasing, and adolescent humor. Makes you wonder if the same person may have written multiple reviews using different names. Or maybe it's just piling on.

Sun, Dec. 21, 1:42 PM
- Xiaomi, whose breakneck growth has led it to quickly emerge as a top-5 smartphone OEM (per Gartner and IDC), is raising over $1B at a $45B+ valuation, the WSJ reports.
- The round is said to be led by a tech investment fund run by ex-Morgan Stanley analyst Richard Ji. A P-E firm affiliated with Alibaba founder Jack Ma is also reportedly participating.
- Gartner and IDC respectively peg Xiaomi's Q3 smartphone share at 5.2% and 5.3% (#4 and #3 globally). The company, known for liberally borrowing ideas from Apple and keeping costs low by heavily relying on online/viral marketing, has said it's aiming to sell 60M phones this year and 100M next year, in part by aggressively expanding in other emerging markets.
- Rivals Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) and Coolpad are both trying to take a page from Xiaomi's playbook. Gartner and IDC respectively have Lenovo's Q3 smartphone share at 5% and 5.2% (#5 and #4). Lenovo, also the world's biggest PC OEM, has a mere $14.6B market cap on the Hong Kong exchange.
- Meanwhile, Indian e-commerce leader Flipkart has raised $700M in a funding round reportedly featuring a $10B+ valuation, just five months after raising $1B at a ~$7B valuation. Investors include Yuri Milner's DST Global (of Facebook/Twitter fame), Tiger Global Management, and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC.
- Flipkart's annual GMV run rate topped $1B earlier this year. Competition is provided by Indian e-commerce marketplace Snapdeal (backed by eBay and SoftBank), and also by Amazon, which in July committed to investing $2B in India as it tries to take advantage of liberalizing rules for foreign e-commerce investment.

Fri, Nov. 28, 8:59 AM
- China's Fenda Technology has announced that it has been selected by Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) as a qualified supplier for the vendor's wearable devices, says DigiTimes according to a Chinese-language Sina.com report.
- The report said that the wearable is possibly a smart wristband and will have a good chance of being showcased Jan. 6-9 at CES 2015 in Las Vegas.
Mon, Oct. 20, 11:16 AM
- "A source familiar with the matter" tells Benzinga Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) could make an offer to acquire BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) as soon as this week.
- Before BlackBerry named John Chen CEO and stopped looking for a buyer last November, Lenovo was reported to be weighing a bid for all or parts of the company. The Canadian government responded by saying it would scrutinize the national security impact of any offer. Since then, Lenovo has agreed to pay $2.91B to acquire Motorola Mobility from Google.
- Short-covering could be driving today's gains: 19% of BlackBerry's float was shorted as of Sep. 30.
Wed, Oct. 15, 12:53 PM
- Android 5.0, first unveiled as Android L at Google I/O (GOOG -2.8%), features major UI changes (new colors, icons, animations, etc.) thanks to its use of Google's Material Design language. It also supports interactive lockscreen notifications, new voice commands, a new battery saver mode, and better content/app syncing between Android devices.
- Under the hood, 5.0 (codenamed Lollipop) sports a new runtime and graphics extension pack to boost performance - developers have often criticized Android's resource efficiency relative to iOS - and over 5K new APIs, many of which have cross-device interactions in mind. The Verge declares 5.0's UI and feature set "lays the foundation for Android to grow as a platform outside of smartphones and tablets."
- The Nexus 6 phablet (codenamed Shamu) has been officially unveiled. As rumored, the device sports a 5.9" 2K display, 13MP camera, and Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 CPU, and will be made by Motorola Mobility (OTCPK:LNVGY). It's priced at a steep $649 unsubsidized ($300 more than the 5" Nexus 5).
- The Nexus 9 tablet, to be made by HTC (OTC:HTCKF), features a high-res 8.9" display and is powered by Nvidia's (NVDA -1.6%) Tegra K1 processor (contains a powerful GPU). Pricing is once more steep: 16GB and 32GB models respectively go for $399 and $479.
- The Nexus Player set-top is made by Asus (OTC:ASUTY), and runs on Google's new Android TV platform, which delivers a more media-centric UI than the sputtering Google TV. Like Amazon's Fire TV, the Nexus Player has an optional gaming controller. No word on pricing yet.
Wed, Oct. 15, 11:54 AM
- Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) is creating a new company meant to build "a leading internet-based smart devices and services business in China." The company will become operational on April 1, 2015, have its own name and brand, and "focus not only on devices, but also on software and application development and close customer engagement."
- Whereas Lenovo's existing smartphone business (#4 in the world, per IDC) is focused on carrier deals and open market sales, the new unit will "exclusively focus on direct-to-consumer sales, marketing and product development using an internet-based business model."
- That sounds a lot like Chinese rival Xiaomi's recipe for success. The Android OEM, which just passed Samsung to become China's largest smartphone vendor, depends heavily on direct marketing, word-of-mouth, and online sales, all of which help keep its costs down. Xiaomi is also well-known for its MIUI custom Android skin, and for borrowing plenty of ideas from Apple.
- Apple, meanwhile, maintains a large share of the high-end Chinese smartphone market, one that's expected to grow following Friday's Chinese iPhone 6 launch. Creating a new brand offering proprietary software/services for its hardware might allow Lenovo to stand out better relative to Android rivals offering tough price competition. Samsung's efforts to differentiate its Android hardware could serve as a cautionary tale.
Fri, Oct. 10, 7:08 PM
- Built with the help of actor Ashton Kutcher (his official title at the company is "product engineer") Lenovo's (OTCPK:LNVGY) Tablet 2 Pro sports a pico projector said to deliver "an instant 50-inch theater experience," and run for up to 3 hours on a charge.
- The 13.3" Android tablet also contains an Intel Atom CPU, 2K (2560x1440) display, stereo speakers, and a subwoofer, and (per Lenovo) can run for up to 15 hours in non-projector mode. Lenovo has aggressively priced the 32GB model at $499 (on par with a 16GB 9.7" iPad Air).
- Lenovo has also launched: 1) The Yoga 3 Pro, a 13" Windows convertible that's 17% thinner and 15% lighter than its predecessor, which The Verge calls "perhaps the best convertible notebook you can buy." The device uses an Intel Core M CPU, has a 3200x1800 display, and starts at a steep $1,350. 2) The Yoga Tablet 2, 8" and 10" Android and Windows tablets costing $249-$399. 3) The ThinkPad Yoga 14, a $1,200 14" convertible aimed at business users.
- MicroVision (NASDAQ:MVIS) is likely happy to see a pico projector get designed into a high-profile tablet.
Wed, Oct. 8, 5:09 PM
- IDC estimates global PC shipments were down 1.7% Y/Y in Q3 to 78.5M, better than an expected 4.1%. The decline is even with Q2's rate, and better than Q1's 4.4% and Q4 2013's 5.6%. Gartner estimates shipments fell only 0.5%.
- Developed markets continue faring better than emerging markets still getting hit by tablet cannibalization. IDC thinks U.S. shipments rose 4.3%, a bit slower than Q2's 6.9% growth. EMEA grew, while Asia-Pac (exc. Japan) declined. Japanese growth remained "deeply negative."
- The corporate migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 (following MSFT's ending of XP support) is still providing a lift, as is a soft tablet market. However, IDC cautions demand for "large commercial refreshes" remains low.
- Notably, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) finally managed to crack IDC's list of the top-5 global vendors: With the help of a strong U.S. market and Mac price cuts, Apple's unit share rose an estimated 60 bps to 6.3%. Revenue share is likely above 10%, given Apple's calendar Q2 Mac ASP was $1,255. U.S. unit share was at 13%.
- The four companies ahead of Apple all grew their shares as well, gaining ground against vendors with less scale: Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) was at 20% (+230 bps), H-P (NYSE:HPQ) at 18.8% (+130 bps), Dell at 13.3% (+140 bps), and Acer (OTC:ACEIY) at 8.4% (+100 bps).
- Intel's (NASDAQ:INTC) Oct. 14 Q3 report should provide additional color on PC demand going into the holiday season.
- Related tickers: AMD, NVDA, MU, STX, WDC, HTCH
Mon, Sep. 29, 2:00 AM
- Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY) will complete its $2.1B acquisition of IBM's (NYSE:IBM) x86 server unit on Oct. 1, giving China's biggest personal computer maker a major asset to expand its business client offerings.
- The closing purchase price is lower than the $2.3B valuation announced in January because of a change in the valuation of inventory and deferred revenue liability, says Lenovo.
Thu, Sep. 25, 11:40 AM
- Ahead of Lenovo's (OTCPK:LNVGY) purchase of Motorola Mobility, 9to5 Google reports Motorola's expected Nexus phablet (codenamed Shamu, with good reason) will have a 5.92" display sporting a 2K (2560x1440) resolution.
- It's also expected to be powered by Qualcomm's high-end Snapdragon 805 processor (quad-core, 2.6GHz.), sport a 13MP rear camera and hefty 3,200 mAh battery, and run on Android L. The report comes as Samsung launches the Galaxy Note 4 (also has a 2K display), and Apple rolls out the 5.5" iPhone 6 Plus (has a 1080p display).
- The phablet could bolster Motorola's recent sales momentum - The Information reported in July (citing internal projections) Motorola, aided by successful low-end phone launches, could see its sales double in 2014 following multiple years of huge declines, and might become profitable by mid-2015.
- Lenovo has said it plans to keep Motorola's brand in the U.S. and some other markets, and to leverage the one-time phone giant's R&D ops.
Fri, Aug. 15, 4:20 PM
- The U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS) has signed off on the $2.3B sale of IBM's x86 server unit to Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY).
- The deal had been closely scrutinized due to the division's sales to U.S. government clients, sales which have included a decent number of supercomputer deals. IBM has tried to soothe concerns in part by promising it would continue handling maintenance work on Lenovo's behalf "for an extended period."
- Chinese regulators cleared the deal in July. Ahead of the sale, IBM's x86 server revenue fell 3% Y/Y in Q2, a much smaller decline than Q1's 18%.
Mon, Aug. 4, 2:06 PM
- With a 14% unit share on the back of 15M shipments (+240% Y/Y), Xiaomi passed Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) in Q2 to become China's top smartphone OEM, per research firm Canalys.
- Samsung, Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY), and Yulong (Coolpad) are each estimated to have ~12% of the market. In Q1, Samsung had 18.3% to Lenovo's 11.3% and Xiaomi's 10.7%.
- Xiaomi has gained ground by offering Android phones with high-end specs at mid-range prices. Successful viral marketing campaigns and a popular custom Android UI (MIUI) also haven't hurt.
- The company just launched a new flagship (the MI4) that starts at $320 unsubsidized, and features a 13MP f/1.8 camera and 5" 1080p display. It's counting on former Google exec Hugo Barra to spearhead an international push; Canalys estimates 97% of Xiaomi's Q2 shipments went into mainland China.
- Xiaomi's "borrowing" of ideas from Apple and other rivals has produced controversy. Not only does Xiaomi's hardware take many design cues from the iPhone, founder Lei Jun has cultivated a Steve Jobs-like image, and ended his MI4 launch presentation with a slide prefaced by Apple's "One more thing..." catchphrase.
Mon, Jul. 28, 6:11 PM
- Long-struggling Motorola Mobility could see its phone sales double in 2014, according to internal projections uncovered by The Information. The projections also suggest Motorola, which lost $1.2B last year amid ongoing Android share losses, could turn profitable by mid-2015.
- The projections could suggest Motorola's attempts to move downmarket by launching emerging markets-focused phones such as the Moto E and Moto G have paid off. Its attempts to challenge Samsung and Apple on the high-end with the Moto X fell flat.
- Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGY), set to pay $2.91B to buy Motorola (while keeping Motorola's brand in the U.S. and certain other markets), must be pleased with the forecasts. As it is, Lenovo aims to ship 80M smartphones this year, up sharply from the 45.5M IDC estimates the company shipped last year.
- The Information also backs up a recent report stating Google and Motorola are working on a 5.9" Nexus phablet appropriately codenamed Shamu. Notably, Google didn't work with Motorola on Nexus hardware prior to the Lenovo deal, as its Android unit tried to placate nervous OEM partners by keeping the Motorola unit at arm's length.
Wed, Jul. 9, 5:29 PM
- Global PC shipments fell only 1.7% Y/Y in Q2 to 74.4M, says IDC. That's much better than the firm's forecast for a 7.1% drop, and smaller than the 4.4% and 5.6% declines respectively seen in Q1 and Q4. Gartner is even more positive, estimating shipments rose 0.1%, thus ending a long string of declines.
- Unsurprisingly (especially given INTC's Q2 guidance hike), IDC thinks business PC upgrades stemming from Microsoft's (MSFT) ending of Win. XP support helped out. But it also says consumer demand was better than expected, with sales of low-end PCs (inc. Chromebooks) improving amid slowing tablet growth.
- Sales in the U.S. and EMEA (two high-ASP regions) rose, while Asia-Pac (exc. Japan) still fell by nearly double digits. IDC now thinks full-year industry growth "could get closer to flat, rather than the May projection of -6%."
- IDC's Q1 share data points to industry leaders gaining at the expense of smaller players: Lenovo (LNVGY) 19.6% share, +270 bps Y/Y. H-P (HPQ) 18.3%, +190 bps. Dell 14%, +180 bps. Acer (ACEIY) 8.2%, -10 bps. Asus (ASUTY) 6.2%, +30 bps. Everyone else 33.6%, -690 bps.
- HPQ +0.6% AH. Other names with strong PC exposure: AMD, NVDA, MU, STX, WDC, HTCH.
Fri, Jul. 4, 4:42 AM
- Lenovo's (LNVGF) $2.3B deal for IBM's (IBM) low-end server business has been approved by the the Chinese Ministry of Commerce's anti-monopoly bureau.
- The acquisition is still awaiting approval in the U.S., as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States investigates possible American national-security risks under the proposed deal, including concerns of the Pentagon's use of IBM servers.
Mon, Jun. 30, 5:26 PM
- Lenovo (LNVGY) plans to launch more than 60 smartphones in 2014 as part of an effort to grow its shipments to 80M, says Chinese mobile chief Zhang Hui.
- IDC estimates Lenovo sold 45.5M smartphones in 2013, +92% Y/Y and good for a 4.5% share. The 2014 target implies 76% shipment growth.
- Lenovo, set to acquire Motorola Mobility and its 2K R&D engineers, is looking to sell 60M smartphones in China, and 20M elsewhere. Half of its new models will support 4G.
Wed, Jun. 25, 2:46 PM
- Northland Securities has reported Lenovo (LNVGY) might use Himax's (HIMX +3.3%) LCoS microdisplays in upcoming wearables products.
- The report comes shortly after a Lenovo patent was detected that suggests the PC/smartphone giant is working on a Google Glass-like product.
- Also: In an article embargoed until 3:53PM ET, SA Pro author Jaret Wilson argues Himax's current valuation is covered just by its LCD driver ops, and that its non-driver business (LCoS, image sensors, other ICs) should turn profitable in 2015. Wilson sees both LCoS and Himax's array camera efforts as major potential growth opportunities.
- Shares fell yesterday after Chardan Capital argued Q2 estimates are at risk due to soft Chinese 3G subscriber adds.

Reference Blindness: The Influence of References on Trust in Wikipedia
Lucassen, Teun and Noordzij, Matthijs L. and Schraagen, Jan Maarten (2011) Reference Blindness: The Influence of References on Trust in Wikipedia. In: ACM WebSci '11, June 14-17 2011, Koblenz, Germany.
|In this study we show the in
uence of references on trust
in information. We changed the contents of reference lists
of Wikipedia articles in such a way that the new references
were no longer in any sense related to the topic of the arti-
cle. Furthermore, the length of the reference list was varied.
College students were asked to evaluate the credibility of
these articles. Only 6 out of 23 students noticed the manip-
ulation of the references; 9 out of 23 students noticed the
variations in length. These numbers are remarkably low, as
17 students indicated they considered references an impor-
tant indicator of credibility. The �ndings suggest a highly
heuristic manner of credibility evaluation. Systematic eval-
uation behavior was also observed in the experiment, but
only of participants with low trust in Wikipedia in general.

American Airlines Observes National Medal Of Honor Day With Tribute Flight For Recipients To The Nation's Capital
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of those who have been awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military honor for valor in combat against an enemy force, American Airlines today is flying a group of these veterans to Washington, D.C., in conjunction with National Medal of Honor Day on March 25.
Following a ceremony at New York's LaGuardia Airport, the recipients will be transported aboard American's yellow-ribbon Boeing 737 aircraft, "Flagship Liberty," to Washington, D.C. To begin the weekend's activities and welcome the veterans, American is hosting a private luncheon for the group and other special guests.
While in Washington, D.C., the recipients will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery, as well as receptions in their honor. As the official airline of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation for Medal of Honor Day, American Airlines has proudly provided transportation to recipients for the past four years.
"The brave actions taken by these heroes, whether long ago or in recent conflicts, truly exemplify to the highest degree what all members of the military strive to do, and that is to go beyond the call of duty," said Captain John Hale, American's Vice President – Flight and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. "At American Airlines, we feel that it is our duty to honor them – and all service members and veterans – during our everyday tasks and through special events such as this, which we look forward to every year."The highest military decoration awarded by the U.S., the Medal of Honor is bestowed by the President of the United States in the name of Congress on members of the Armed Forces who conspicuously distinguish themselves through gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of their lives above and beyond the call of duty. Of more than 40 million veterans who have served since the beginning of the Civil War, fewer than 3,500 Medals of Honor have been awarded. "National Medal of Honor Day is a special time for this elite group of recipients to come together on a day set aside to honor them and other American citizens who have demonstrated courage and selflessness in their daily lives," said Silas R. Johnson, Jr., President of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. "We are grateful that American Airlines has again stepped up to help make this day possible. American's ongoing support of our veterans and U.S. service members reflects its long-term commitment and support of those who protect our great nation." At the luncheon, American Airlines will reaffirm its commitment to all living Medal of Honor recipients via the presentation of AAdvantage Executive Platinum® status, and ConciergeKey® and Admirals Club® memberships. American is pleased to continue this special recognition program, which was announced during Medal of Honor festivities last year. Executive Platinum status is the highest level of AAdvantage elite status that can be achieved by American's customers, with benefits that include complimentary upgrades, elite mileage bonuses and PriorityAAccess(SM) airport privileges, among others.

Please use caution with your heating sources, said Richland Fire Chief Bob Heffelfinger.

Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Leaders of the Group of 20 biggest industrialized and emerging economies called on international bank regulators to examine the effect of credit-default swaps on bond prices.
The G-20, in a statement today issued from their meeting in Cannes, France, asked the International Organization of Securities Commissions "to assess the functioning of credit- default swap (CDS) markets and the role of those markets in price formation of underlying assets by our next Summit."
The study will follow a series of investigations into the derivatives that have been blamed for exacerbating financial crises. G-20 leaders agreed after 2008 to implement broad financial regulation principles by the end of 2012.
The European Union last month moved closer to banning the use of credit-default swaps on government bonds for any reason other than hedging risk. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy had pressed the EU to curb speculation, arguing it exacerbated Europe's debt crisis.
Germany unilaterally banned some swaps in May 2010, even after the nation's financial regulator BaFin said in March of that year it found "no evidence" that credit-default swaps were being used excessively to speculate against Greek bonds.
The ban failed to achieve the government's aim of keeping asset prices from falling and "market efficiency and quality in fact deteriorated substantially," the International Monetary Fund said in an August 2010 report.
Naked Swaps
In the U.S., regulators and Congress rejected a proposed ban on so-called naked swaps, with House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank saying "there was concern that a broad grant to ban abusive swaps would be unsettling," and U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner saying he doesn't think such a measure would have merit. Naked swaps are those that may not reference an underlying asset.
Rules under the Dodd-Frank Act require most credit-default swap trades to be backed by clearinghouses. Enacted last year by President Barack Obama, the Act aims to reduce risk and boost transparency in the swaps market after largely unregulated trades helped fuel the 2008 credit crisis.
Clearinghouses, which are capitalized by their members, guarantee trades by standing between buyers and sellers. Credit- default swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements.

Intercontinental Danang Resort
Chic Check – Total and instant WOW. Beautiful setting with the mythical Monkey mountain providing a lush tropical backdrop leading down to an extensive private cove beach. A funicular lift transports you from the elevated public areas down to the beach level. The accommodation is stunning, combining traditional Asian touches with modern comfort. Whilst the main beach strip at Danang is long, extensive and flat, the area around the Intercontiental is much more tropical, rather Indian Ocean style. Hoi An is 40 minutes drive, Danang City which has some shopping interest but little else is 25 minutes.
See comment above re the monkeys. They might regard you with the same fascination as you see them – but they might also have an ambition to share your dress sense. Be cautious with open windows or clothing/ valuables left on your balcony.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. As Miley Cyrus' godmother, Dolly Parton has spent a lot of time answering reporters' questions about the Hannah Montana actress-turned-pop ingenue as she promotes her new album, "Blue Smoke."
Though she says she worries about Cyrus as if she were her own child, she supports the sometimes shocking decisions her goddaughter has made as she moved from child star to a confident – and complicated – young woman.
"I'll never say anything bad about Miley 'cause I know she's smart," Parton said. "And I know she's talented. And I know she's had to go to drastic measures to try to make her point: 'Leave me alone. I am not Hannah Montana anymore. I want to grow up.' "
Parton, 68, a Country Music Hall of Fame member, compared Cyrus criticisms to those who chided her when she first came on the scene – a buxom teen with a confident sense of self and style that drew frowns and tsk-tsks from those who expected her to be demure and chaste.
"But I never let that stop me from being the business girl that I was," Parton said. "I knew my songs were good even if I had been ugly as sin. I felt like I could sing, even if I had been ugly as sin. So I thought, 'Well, I would have probably chose to look this way even if I had been a waitress.' I mean, this is my look. I mean, I like a lot of makeup. I like a lot of hair. I like flashy clothes. I like to show it off. But that's just who I am."
Though she never changed her image, Parton managed to get people to pay attention to her music and skills as an entertainer and businesswoman, and not so much to her wardrobe and makeup.
"Blue Smoke" is her first album in three years. She wrote many of the songs on the album, sings duets with Willie Nelson and Kenny Rogers and takes a trip into unlikely territory on covers of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice" and Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands on Me," which she gives a Sunday-morning flavor. She recently announced hundreds of millions of dollars in business investments and will tour the world this year.
"And I am not finished yet," Parton said. "I still have a lot of other business things I want to do. I just think it's the love of it. I just really try to keep my creative hat on. I just love to write, I love to think. I love the business end of things. I love to work. Energy begets energy. And dreams beget dreams. So I just keep on keeping on."

Reviewed Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce
Jul 14, 2013 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I did the shopping and made some alterations. The regular market did not have Panettone Bread (and I didn't have the stuff to make it), so I grabbed a Cranberry & Pistachio bread loaf. I was out of amaretto, so I used Grand Marnier. I was skeptical, but the wife said it was awesome.""
