I cannot stop talking about the wonders of this stuff. This is one of those products I thought (mistaken) it was just brand marketing, but trust me, it's not. I came across with it by chance 'cause I was given a sample at my regular counter.
It is absolutely true that you'll be seeing results JUST while using it, this is due to it's main task: detox your skin, but meanwhile...OMG this is perfection. It keeps oilies at bay, it reduces my rosacea, it softens my fine lines, it soothes skin amazingly and it minimizes my pores plus it sinks right away and it's a good primer. Results: radiant and improved skin.
I tried both CHD one essential and Lancôme Visionnaire which are supposed to be matching products but I have to say that I felt my skin oilier and not that radiant with LV as I did with CHD's. Another issue to be mentioned here about LV: I hate the smell!!! It's soooo weird.
Anyway, it's an expensive product, yes, but it does what it promises, and if you're really concerned about getting results think about adding this to your daily skin care 'cause it's really important to have a detox skin in order to get results with your regular treatment. Worth every penny.

Initially I was in love with this product and considered it worth the high price. Brightened, smoothed, and slightly tightened my skin. Also seemed to reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines. Needed to moisturize over product but the wonderful skin improvements lasted all day. Towards the end of my first bottle the dramatic skin improvement seemed to lessen.
Took time off from product, as expected skin lost much of the improvements. As I've discovered with all serums of this nature, the effects last only as long as it's used. I have noticed my skin usually needs little breaks from these sorts of serums for them to work properly. Overall I like it and will continue to purchase with realistic expectations.

i really love this stuff and really wouldnt be without it, the texture of my skin has really improved dramatically since starting this, i havent noticed a huge difference in pigmentation but i only had one pigmented spot anyway, even though its super expensive, im willing to pay the price for the effects..
I am so so very glad I tried this.. It is awesome! I am dark tone and my main issue was uneven tone and the beginning signs of aging, age spots. But wow, In a week I saw a difference. In 2-3 weeks I realized I could not live with out this.. Luv it and the effects are immediate. I bought a bottle for my mom and will she how she does.. But for me it has brightened my complexion and I feel like skin looks younger and healthier. Way better than le mer! I love this stuff!

When I first started using this product, I was initially quite impressed. I loved the consistency of this, as it's thin, you only need a very small amount and it absorbs incredibly quickly, making your skin feel soft and moisturized and initially it made my face brighter and more radiant. I started to break out as soon as I began using it but continued to use it, as it is more of a detoxifier in the beginning, and I figured the breakouts would disappear after 1-2 weeks (as I was told). However, after a month of using this, I am extremely disappointed with Dior. For $120 (before tax), you would expect this serum to be HG material!!!! After one month, the radiance this serum produced disappeared, the serum did absolutely nothing for my dry spots, made my face more dull, and did nothing for the lines on my face. Everyday I'd get more and more zits and painful, under-the-skin ones that are very difficult to get rid of (they just wouldn't go away and are still not gone!). If this was even $50, I would blame myself for maybe not spending enough for a high quality product for my face. I gave this 3 lippies though because I loved the consistency of this, the smell, and how great it felt on my skin---it did feel very fresh upon application. I do believe that the fact that this has salicylic acid in it contributed to my breakouts----why Dior would put such a cheap ingredient in a supposedly high-quality product, I cannot gauge. Oh oh and it also has CASTOR OIL people! Can you believe that!? Sick. So this ended up going back. =(
**Had to change from 3 to 2 lippies since I'm STILL recovering from the horrible breakouts this stuff produced!!!!!!!!
I used this over the course of 2 weeks and watched my lineless skin age before my very eyes. Then I see this stuff has alcohol in it - very high up in the ingredient list. If I were 25, this probably would not have made my skin look older. But I've entered my 40s now, so this is not going to cut it.

This serum is a staple in my daily skin care. My skin absolutely depends on it. I have acne-prone skin (which i control with accutance).
This serum clears up my skin beautifully. My pores appear much cleaner, my skin much brigher and smoother. Creams and lotions absorb much better after I apply this wonderful Dior serum.
Love Love Love !!
Can not live without it.

Ok, I LOVE THIS! It absorbs beautifully into my skin without leaving any residue of any kind. I have been using this in conjunction with a Clinique serum meant to reverse uv damage and in the day with Chanel UV Essentiel SPF 50, and I have been getting compliments on how good my skin looks without makeup, yay! I'm sure I can't credit Dior for all the wonderful results but since this serum is supposed to act as a booster to other products, I like to think that I am getting my moneys worth. I definitely will repurchase as long as I have the sufficient "funding" which enables me to do so. ;)
I'm 67 and this stuff is just amazing. I've had several peels over the years and the results I get with the whole Capture Totale line are very close to what I get after a peel. My skin is much softer, fine lines and age spots are diminished and, overall, my skin just looks better. Nothing is going to make me 38 again but this line from Dior is outstanding at restoring the tone and texture of my skin. It is, alas, very expensive but I've tried so many other products and this one delivers. So worth it.

Okay, so this was given to me by a Dior sales consoltant as a sample after i bought the Diorskin forever compact foundation.
I have always been skeptical about designer moisturisers/lotions/serums and such, however this is definately worth its weight in gold.
I dont know EXACTLY what it does for your skin, or how to describe it, i can see by previous reviews that its like an antioxident for your skin. I would agree.
The sample i was given only lasted about 3 days, however that was more then eough time for me to see the results!
I do have quite oily skin, and am prone to lots of breakouts around the chin and forhead area, this product didnt clear my breakouts up, however it helped minimise my pores, which then helped minimise the oil production from my skin, it also made the surface of my skin (and breakouts) significantly smoother and provided a nice glow, which my makeup covered up, However it made my makeup look alot more smoother and natural.
The Dior consoltant that provided me with the sample advised that i put it on before moisturising (make sure you tone first to prepare your skin for moisture absorbtion), however i feel you get the same results with mixing it in with youre moisturiser.
I would really love to purchase this, however it is SO bloody expensive! I am quite generous with money when it comes to skin care, however this is definately pushing the budget. I will probably purchase however if it gets used up really quickly, i will probably discontinue using it, purley due to currently using dermalogica products, that are already costing a fortune to keep re-purchasing.
I would probably reccomend this product towards people with oily/combination skin, as i feel it helps control excess oil production, and with consistent use, it would probably make the condition of acne prone skin alot better. People with dry skin may not feel that this is "moisturising" enough.

At El Mezcal, nachos are so much more than chips covered in cheese. There are 10 types of nachos, from beef- and bean-smothered ones to ones sporting zesty grilled shrimp. The large selection is indicative of the menu as a whole, which compiles several kinds of enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, and tacos. Thankfully, 20 different combination platters allow diners to sample across these categories. There are also signature dishes, such as the El Mezcal Special: grilled rib-eye steak and shrimp mixed with veggies, served with rice, beans, and tortillas. At the bar, servers mix margaritas and pour homemade sangria, in addition to opening bottles of imported beers.
Brother-sister duo Kam and Ling Ngai have successfully combined classic and contemporary Asian flavors at their restaurant Ichiban Hibachi & Sushi, all while showcasing a creative flair. That means there's much more to the menu than tempura and teriyaki. Plates arrive at the tables looking like edible works of art, displaying generous portions of colorful sushi rolls, steamed dumplings, and fresh crab salads, and more. Specialty cocktails such as the Ichiban Zombie (light and spiced rums, Grand Marnier, plus orange and pineapple juices with grenadine) add extra flavor to meals.
Honing in on the diverse flavors and epicurean culture of Asia, Pan Asia's menu spans the culinary gamut, offering Thai, Japanese, and Southeast Asian specialties. Chefs artfully sear tuna steak, fashion maki rolls with fresh fish, and braise tender lamb in a green curry sauce. Dessert also bears the hallmarks of Asian influence, as diners dig into thai lime tarts, banana spring rolls, and coconut-flavored crème brûlée. These colorfully plated dishes pop against the surface of Pan Asia's dark wood tables, which sit below high ceilings and adjacent to the full-service Gong Bar. Outside, patio seating supplies diners with fresh air and views of the sun's ticklish underbelly.
Mr. Yi Express dishes up Chinese-food favorites in a convenient fast-casual environment. Cooks fry egg rolls that crunch when they're bitten into or used as drumsticks, and they pile plates with spicy orange chicken or shrimp fu yung. There are also vegetarian options, including gourmet veggie or tofu stir-fries.
China Cafe welcomes folks with a traditional menu of freshly prepared, flavorful Chinese food. Folks hunker down in front of classic dishes such as orange chicken, Szechuan-style shrimp, and pepper steak. For customers who need a little extra inspiration, China Cafe displays a photographic menu that glows over a shining counter, challenging guests to order by winking in the direction of their desired dish. Hanging lights cast a cozy glow over the dining room, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
From an English-style cottage nestled in the Jackson Street Historic District, The Parker House offers a savory haven for home-style eaters with a menu of aged steaks and simple Southern comfort food. Lavish starters tempt eager stomachs with rich mouthfuls of duck quesadilla, served with gouda, roasted corn salsa, and spiced sour cream ($9), or grit fries, crusted in herbs and bread crumbs topped with a smoky honey-chipotle aioli ($8). The Catfish Katherine astounds palates with a fresh Mississippi catfish blanketed with a sizzling sauté of crab, mushrooms, and green onions alongside edible islands of mashed potatoes and turnip greens ($24). With only certified Hereford and USDA prime beef, rehabilitated werebears can stymie carnivorous pangs with a marbled ribeye ($32) or an aged six-ounce tenderloin fillet ($25).

Systolic and Diastolic Blood PressureSystolic blood pressure refers to the pressure of blood in the artery when the heart contracts. It is the top (and higher) number in a blood pressure reading. Diastolic blood pressure refers to the pressure of blood in the artery when the heart relaxes between beats. It is the bottom (and lower) number in a blood pressure reading. For example, if a person's systolic pressure is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and the diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg, blood pressure is recorded as 120/80 and read as "120 over 80."

We're replanking an older deck that was originally nailed. Quite a few nails have popped over the years; these spots were refastened with screws. I expect those holes to show some dry rot. The new planks and screw spacing will be shifted to miss the original nail holes. Question: Is it sufficient to fill the old nail holes with caulking compound?
New decking will be 2x6 common redwood. |

The Temecula/Murrieta, Calif., territory location is owned by Premier Licensee, Jeff Boyer. Boyer started his pool career in high school with his father's pool company, Boyer Pools and Spas in North County, San Diego. With the hillside landscapes as a continual challenge, Boyer became an expert at designing and constructing negative edge pools.
After college, Boyer moved to Temecula where he obtained his contractor's license and began his own pool company, Pacific Coast Pools, Inc. in 2004. Being a family-run pool company, Boyer was ready to take his business to the next level with respect to service, reputation and marketing. He learned about Premier's rapid expansion across the nation, and being in the same state as Premier's corporate headquarters, was determined to be a part of their growth.
"When I contacted Premier Pools & Spas earlier this year, I soon realized that our principles, with respect to the pool building industry, were exactly in line with theirs. When talking to Premier's President, Paul Porter, his business strategy wasn't something I had heard of in our industry before. The business plan aligned with what I always hoped for our business to become, but never knew how to take it there," stated Boyer.
According to Boyer, Temecula Valley, along with Murrieta has ample potential in the long run for his business' growth. Even with the hard economic hit, Boyer has noticed many families still making pool purchases and remodels a priority.
The Temecula/Murrieta Premier Pools location will provide design, new construction, renovation as well as hardscapes surrounding the pools and spas it builds and remodels.
To learn more about the Temecula/Murrieta Premier Pools & Spas location, please visit www.ppas.com or call (951) 514-7121. You can also become a fan of Premier Pools & Spas at www.facebook.com/
About Premier Pools
With over 250 employees and locations across the country, Premier Pools & Spas adheres to a business model of building superior-quality pools and exceeding their customers' expectations. Since 1988, Premier Pools has built over 21,000 custom pools and knows what it takes to achieve high-quality results within the customer's budget. Premier Pools is committed to providing its customers with pools that are both unique and beautiful, and a joy for the whole family.

Add a CommentA wild ride began when a young woman imprisoned in a sinister laboratory escaped with a syringe of power enhancement drug from USA to Hong Kong. The woman had a special ability to put ideas as reality in other's mind. She was determined to bring down the lab with helps from a motley group of other special people, each possessed extraordinary psychic power as psychokinesis, remote viewing, imaging future events and ultra senses etc. Most of the movie was filmed in crowded Hong Kong city as a "special" Chinese gang was also in pursuit of the new wonder drug ...
This movie...omg this movie. Is one of my favorites, the scenes, actions, characters and details (and special effects) are a work of art and I commend you guys on how wel they did. This movie is the kind that I sit up watching 20- 30 times on a dark quiet night. I watch this movie over and over with an extra large bag of very over buttered and drizled in garlic salt popcorn. I found it beautifully created and I am proud to say I own the DVD and can't get enough of it.
The story line was fairly good. The action to build up to it however needed a lot more work. It's material was like I am Number Four. At the very end-I give it a 2/5 stars.
BAM! SPLAT! THUD! HUH??? This is an almost completely incoherent rip-off of the X Men franchise.with some very attractive players getting banged up for WHAT we never quite figure out. The director ramps up a whole lot of style and atmosphere but unfortunately has no storytelling ability. it's a pity that the first ten minutes leave you so hooked, as the subsequent 100 do nothing to explain them. Fantastic setting, good actors (with the exception of the zombie-like Camilla Bell, who HAS to be screwing someone important) lotsa action, entirely opaque. A perfect example of brainless Hollywood-style moviemaking. FEH.
Decent sci-fi movie. I didn't really expect much, but was entertained enough. Had a cool look about it. Cyberpunk elements. The acting was not a key element here. Style over substance. The story was interesting enough to keep me watching. There is enough action and enough of a plot to justify watching this as a sci-fi fan.
This was an ok movie, hard to follow, had some interesting special effects. Glad I did not see this in the theater
Push is easily one of the most idiotic movies I have seen in a long time. It was so dull and confusing now and again. The movie felt so much longer than it actually was. I couldn't wait for it to end.

In Russia KPMG now has offices in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Perm and Rostov-on-Don. We also have offices in 6 CIS countries. In Russia and the CIS KPMG now employs together over 3,800 people.
The KPMG CIS Transparency Report for the year ended 30 September 2013 allows clear articulation of the steps that we take to uphold our professional obligations and responsibilities and make sure our services are consistently of the very highest quality.
With the effectiveness of corporate reporting under the spotlight in the wake of the financial crisis, KPMG has published a new report which brings together a range of leaders in their field discussing the direction that reporting needs to take.
This survey captures the views of approximately 1,800 audit committee members in 21 countries on issues that create challenges for audit committees and indentifies international trends and provides data for specific countries (including Russia).
Survey confirms that the rising economic power of the emerging markets remains the overriding force for growth over the next decade.
We hope that this publication serves as a useful resource for both existing users of IFRS and FDCG companies seeking to understand the potential impact of adopting IFRS.
KPMG has conducted a survey of the impact of the new transfer pricing rules adopted a year ago on the largest Russian and international companies in the oil and gas sector operating in Russia.
Another strong year for M&A in Russia, following 2012's record-breaking performance.
We would like to bring to your attention an opportunity to take part in a 4-week Global Internship Program (GIP) in the U.S.
KPMG has career opportunities both for graduates and students, and also for experienced professionals.
Stay connected with KPMG and with your former colleagues. To keep you informed on KPMG news we publilsh K-Community quarterly on-line digest. We are also happy to hold annual Alumni meetings and offer our Alumni a broad range of career opportunities.
The report, Global Automotive Finance and Leasing: The Role of Product Diversification and Emerging Markets in Future Growth provides a unique and comprehensive comparison of the business environment, market potential, business characteristics and prospects between the US, Western Europe, China, India and Russia, finds that while the risk potential is higher in the emerging markets, strong prospects exist through the offering of traditional finance services as well as the further expansion of lease and additional services business.
Facing lower projected car sales in Europe and increasing overcapacity and competitive pressures in the emerging markets, the finance and lease businesses of automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) would stand to benefit by adjusting their operating models to meet the changing global conditions, finds a KPMG International report.
"Auto leasing and financing companies will need to start executing on a number of different fronts if they plan to remain relevant to the customer and – in the case of 'captive' organizations – to their owners, the auto manufacturers," said Mathieu Meyer, KPMG's Global Head of Automotive and a partner in the German firm. "Those that take a wait-and-see approach in the hope that their traditional markets will rebound will quickly find themselves commanding a shrinking share of the market while competitors active in growth areas rapidly surpass them."
"The real story here is about the massive potential that China, India and Russia offer to leasing and finance organizations," noted Mr. Meyer. "Not only are these markets experiencing tremendous development and increasing affluence indicating high growth potential for auto sales overall, but customers in these markets are also starting to become much more accepting of leasing and financing arrangements. Ultimately, we expect that the emerging markets will deliver tremendous growth to the leasing and finance business of the OEM captives."
At the same time, new services such as mobility-as-a-service programs, battery leasing, green fleets, and additional banking products offer new ways to generate profit, not only over the long-term horizon in the emerging markets, but also in the more established, yet mostly saturated finance and lease markets of Western Europe and the US.
The report also finds that while the introduction of alternative propulsion systems (such as hybrids and pure electric cars) is a key growth agenda item for auto manufacturers, the vehicles create significant opportunities for their captives as well.
"Auto leasers and financers will need to develop new concepts to align their services to technological improvements," added Mr. Meyer. "For example, the leasing of batteries may well prove to be a sustainable and rewarding venture for auto leasers and financers to expand into, particularly given the high cost of batteries. Indeed, by separating the lease of the battery from the car itself, auto leasers and financers can both reduce their risk and generate additional revenues simultaneously."
However, given that the value of an electric car is highly dependent on the expected lifetime of the battery (which can vary widely) and the technology, leasers and financers will find that their residual value formulas become increasingly complex. Moreover, the introduction of new technologies may well devalue the resale potential of a vehicle at the end of the lease.
According to the report, shifting customer preferences and the rise of hybrid and electric vehicles will force captive leasing and financing companies to develop and promote their own mobility services like car-sharing or multi-mode transportation models.
The delivery of new services, such as credit cards and deposit banking, will also help shore up revenues in the more mature markets of the US and Europe. At the same time, the ongoing credit crisis is pushing many organizations towards creating their own banking services in order to reduce their reliance on banks for refinancing.
Finance and leasing landscape: Russia
There are opportunities in Russia as the economy rebounds, car sales rise and consumers income and acceptance of financing improves. Finance and leasing companies can prosper by expanding their financing offerings, introducing basic banking products and improving the service networks and fleet services.

Business types, evidently, feel they know all they need to know about Tempe, Ariz., firm First Solar, a nine-year old company being called "the Google of solar." In a year and a half, investors drove its stock price up from $25 to $250. But aside from reports that this year's sales are projected to hit $1 billion, what exactly do they know?
The company is highly secretive about its innovations, it seems, going so far as to refuse to speak with journalists. Now, an in-depth story in IEEE Spectrum Online attempts to get to the bottom of how, as the journal says, "within five years, this company's thin-film solar cells could compete with coal."
First Solar uses cadmium telluride (CdTe) rather than silicon, and the thin CdTe films it manufactures are a hundredth the thickness of silicon solar material and take a tenth as long to produce — advantages that could offset the fact that they aren't as efficient as conventional silicon devices at turning sunlight into electricity. And the company is churning them out: The story's author Richard Stevenson reports they're on their way to having an annual production capacity of "just over 1 gigawatt by 2009." (By comparison, the Mitsubishi solar production expansion we just reported on here hopes to hit three-fifths of that capacity by 2012.)
Stevenson's article gets impressively technical on the second and third pages, doing detective work with industry analysts to guess at the exact nature of First Solar's new processes, and wraps up with a list of competing companies and other technologies (using multiple substances to capture more sunlight, for example) that could outpace First Solar's impressive rise.
But for casual readers, all this is just support for the bold claims on the first page that: "…analysts agree that [First Solar] will very likely meet typical grid-parity prices" within two to four years.
Translated that means the company will offer a product that will cost roughly $1-per-watt cell price, matching the cost of other forms of electricity "in developed countries".
Unfortunately, these groundbreaking panels aren't currently being sold to the public. First Solar is keeping plenty busy meeting the demand of solar farm operators and corporations who want them on factory rooftops.

C.S. Lewis said in his famous sermon "The Weight of Glory" that if he were to ask twenty Christian leaders in his day what was the chief virtue, nineteen of them would answer Selflessness. Lewis argued that previous centuries of Christians would have answered instead with Love as the noblest of virtues. He was right in assessing his generation.But the 2012 Presidential election this week leads me to think that most Americans today would answer that question differently yet again.

Election 2012: It's the End of America As We Know It
"It's a tragedy." So said Dennis Prager upon first hearing the news that Ohio had gone to Obama, thus deciding the Election 2012 outcome in these United States, November 6, 2012. I would add my own thought as a lifelong Buckeye: It is embarrassing.By reelecting Barack Obama, we have made a choice as a nation that is so egregiously bad that I feel I must distance myself from the decision or risk being associated with the disastrous consequences of it. Even though I'm not sure that such se … [Read more...]
Don't Expect Much from Third Presidential Debate Unless…
Even though I suggest you watch the third Presidential Debate -- hopefully the sit-down format won't revive the incessant smiling and interrupting of the last such format -- I really don't expect much to emerge that will change anything at this point in the race.Romney knows foreign policy much better than most give him credit for. Having followed him closely for the last six years and read his book No Apology -- which he wrote himself -- I am confident he'll be able to easily convince the … [Read more...]
Romney Was Right to Demand Truth on Libya, Benghazigate

DNC Chair: Lybia Terror Attack Statements Wrong, Not False
More evidence mounts that the attack on the US embassy in Lybia on Sept. 11, 2012, and assassination of the US ambassador and three other Americans was a deliberate terrorist attack.

Why Pastors Dared the IRS to Restrict Religious Freedom
Across the nation this past Sunday, October 8, about 1,600 pastors told the IRS to go to – well, let's just say they gave notice of non-compliance in defense of religious freedom. In an annual event that began in 2008, pastors preached sermons from the pulpit that offered Biblical critiques of specific candidates' political positions in violation of the Johnson Amendment of 1954. Read the CNN account here.Videos of many of the sermons were then sent to the IRS as pastors dared them to act. Thei … [Read more...]
Dem Convention Video: Do You Belong to the Government?
By now you've no doubt heard of the video shown on the first day of the Democratic Party convention that claimed "government is the only thing we all belong to." If you haven't, here is the 17-second clip in question:There's some truth to it. I just shocked some of my left-leaning readers, I know.

But it's the use of the word belong to describe our r … [Read more...]

that don't fit and give the world an unintentional, back-gap, peep show whenever you bend down. isAbelt is a clear, adjustable, virtually invisible belt that keeps those jeans in place and your waist streamlined, so you don't have to wear a regular-old, heavy, bulky belt.
Since I like my belts to show, my personal fav is isAbelt Jr-Skull style complete with cute skulls and pink lips graphics. It's super fun, really comfortable, and fits up to a junior's size 12 (women's size 12-14). All other isAbelt's come in junior's, women's, and plus-size women's styles.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and isAbelt has an awesome pink ribbon Breast Cancer awareness belt! Even cooler, a percentage of its' proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to help find a cure for Breast Cancer and raise awareness.
Have fun choosing your own personal fav isAbelt!

Propz on the chapter Shani and much propz for the manga-helpers dudes.
A long, exciting, action-filled chapter was all we required before this arc ends. Anzu definitly pulls out Kishimoto's "last-stand" move toward Katou.
It was even more amazing to see the actual chapter pages than the spoilers, didn't knew Katou was actually down-sided when Nuri's became Cyclop v2.0
The laser beams made the "Catatrosphe" theme even more grandiose, seems like every city bein' attacked by an alien strong as Nuri shall become dust... I've read the translation but there's no apparent sign that the weakness of the antagonist monster was pointed as strong surprise attacks.
On another note as some people stated, Katou pulled the trigger of the H gun... is HS gonna get blown up?
I'm glad Oku served us some very nice action in the last chapters, we can also remember Nuri's last form bein' totally epic...

Cardboard Robot Reaches Funding Goal
$150 giant six-foot robotic arm becomes successful on Kickstarter.
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) August 08, 2012
The Cardboard Robot, the only open source robotic arm made of cardboard, has reached its Kickstarter funding goal of $10,000 with 12 days remaining. The next step is to reach their stretch goal of $15,000.
The funding campaign for the Cardboard Robot started on July 6 with a goal of $10,000. The six foot robotic arm; as mentioned on CNET, Engadget and PCWorld, will officially end its Kickstarter funding campaign on August 19.
"I have always thought about building an inexpensive, lighter version of the industrial-sized robot arm that is safe and easy to fix," said creator Ken Ihara. "I appreciate everyone who has backed me so far and excited to see how far we go."
The robot plugs into a computer via the USB port and the arm follows a set of paths that the user can program and save. It comes with a 3-fingered claw for gripping small objects or a smartphone camera attachment for use as a camera crane, which will be useful in schools and at home.
For every $3,000 that is raised by the Kickstarter funding campaign, Ihara will send one complete kit to a high school in the USA. Any school teacher who would like a Cardboard Robot for their school can send a message to Ihara through Kickstarter.
There is still time to pre-order a Cardboard Robot. To follow the project and to pre-order, visit their Kickstarter page.
