Fabless manufacturing
This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2008) |
Fabless manufacturing is the design and sale of hardware devices and semiconductor chips while outsourcing the fabrication or "fab" of the devices to a specialized manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry. Foundries are typically but not exclusively located in China and Taiwan [1][2][3][4] because of the generally low cost of labor, so fabless companies can benefit from lower capital costs while concentrating their research and development resources on the end market.
The credit for pioneering the fabless concept is given to Bernie Vonderschmitt of Xilinx and Gordon A. Campbell of Chips and Technologies. The first fabless semiconductor company, the Western Design Center, was founded in 1978. Xilinx, founded in 1984, was the first to "truly" separate the design of chips from their manufacture.[5]
Prior to the 1980s, the semiconductor industry was vertically integrated. Semiconductor companies owned and operated their own silicon-wafer fabrication facilities and developed their own process technology for manufacturing their chips. These companies also carried out the assembly and testing of their chips, the fabrication.
Meanwhile, with the help of private-equity funding, smaller companies began to form, with experienced engineers exercising their entrepreneurial prowess by establishing their own IC design companies focused on innovative chip solutions.[citation needed]
As with most technology-intensive industries, the silicon manufacturing process presents high barriers to entry into the market, especially for small start-up companies. So, Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) had excess production capacity. The smaller companies began to take advantage of the opportunity- relying on IDMs to manufacture the chips they were designing.
These conditions underlay the birth of the fabless business model. Companies were manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) without owning a fabrication plant. Simultaneously, the foundry industry was established by Dr. Morris Chang with the founding of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC). Foundries became the cornerstone of the fabless model, providing a non-competitive manufacturing partner for fabless companies.
In 1994, Jodi Shelton, along with a half a dozen CEOs of fabless companies, established the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) to promote the fabless business-model globally.
In December 2007, the FSA transitioned to the GSA, the Global Semiconductor Alliance.[6] The organizational transition reflected the role FSA had played as a global organization that collaborated with other organizations to co-host international events. Additionally, the GSA leadership is composed of regional leadership councils with executives from those regions who serve as advisers to the GSA Board of Directors on global and regional issues. Those leadership councils are the Asia-Pacific Leadership Council and the Europe, Middle East and African (EMEA) Leadership Council.
Industry growth and success[edit]
When FSA was established in 1994, there were only three fabless companies—Cirrus Logic, Adaptec, and Xilinx—each with revenues in excess of $250 million. During the 1990s, industry pundits acknowledged the financial success of fabless companies, such as Nvidia, Broadcom, and Xilinx, and such companies as Cyrix produced competitively-priced products, benefiting consumers and driving the global market for computing devices.
The model has been further validated by the conversion of major IDMs to a completely fabless model, including (for example) Conexant Systems, Semtech, and most recently, LSI Logic. Today most major IDMs including Freescale, Infineon and Cypress Semiconductor have adopted the practice of outsourcing chip manufacturing as a significant manufacturing strategy. As of 2007, the fabless model is the preferred business model for the semiconductor industry[citation needed]. The same year GSA tracked 10 separate fabless companies that had each surpassed $1 billion in annual revenues.
Sales leaders[edit]
The top 5 sales leaders for fabless companies in 2003 were:
Rank | Company | Country of origin | Revenue (million US$) |
1 | Qualcomm | USA | 2,398 |
3 | Broadcom | USA | 1,610 |
4 | ATI Technologies | Canada | 1,401 |

Why BioShock Infinite's ending doesn't work
28th Mar 2013 | 11:10
You shouldn't be reading this unless you've played the game, right? Played it and finished it. Then played it again, to enjoy how the world fits together with your new knowledge, even if the plot is flapping raggedy up a flagpole. This article is replete with spoilers, from the very second you make the jump.
OK, last spoiler warning. Spoilers will definitely begin after the image we've dropped in under this paragraph, to give you precious last inches of ruination-free content.
Good. Now it's just us. I can only assume that you're all in the same hot-pot of bewilderment as I've been stewing in, along with Craig Owens, Edge alumnus who's been helping around the OXM offices recently. He's sat next to me now, if that helps you imagine the scene.
We've been talking about what does and doesn't work for what feels like an expressible percentage of our lives, now. And before we peck lovingly at the plot threads, let's tip the respect hat: some things work wonderfully. The battle with Slate is brilliantly rewritten when you know that Slate's accusations are false, and he's been driven mad by living in a world whose facts don't match his memory. And as Craig pointed out, Comstock's bile towards DeWitt becomes much more poignant when you know it's a man hating what he could have become. Much of it works: we're not sure the ending is included in that. Here's why, and much else that has left us stumped or unimpressed.
1. Booker's Death
Log asks: Why does it do anything?
This is a symptom of other assumptions that don't make sense to me. For example, when Booker plans to kill Comstock as a baby. The number of universes is as close to infinite as makes no odds. So how would killing one baby, in one universe, help? Any choice is doomed to futility, knowing that you're simply one of infinite people making that decision, while an infinite army simultaneously makes the opposite decision.
Given that, how did killing one Booker remove any more than the single Elizabeth he fathered? Is it different, when Elizabeth does it? And surely the very act of drowning Booker, given that we've accepted a multiverse, creates another universe in which the Elizabeth mini-hive didn't drown him? This is no solution. This is fixing nothing.
The real ending shouldn't be one of death and sudden, fake resolution. The only possible sane ending in Bioshock Infinite should be one where DeWitt appreciates the endless scale of these events, and his impotence within that framework. The only possible conclusion can be: stick to your own universe. It's the place you're least negligible. I suppose that's one possible interpretation of the post-credits reset, to Booker in the office with Anna. But even then, I gain no satisfaction from seeing that, after the drowning of my Booker. It reduces the multiverse to a stock of extra lives. This Booker might be an absolute arsehole.
Craig asks: Why drown Booker?
My problem with this is that it seems to break the rules that have just been established. The first time Booker and Elizabeth come across the baptism scene, Booker rejects the submersion, as he did all those years ago. We're given to understand that there's a "branch" at this point: in all the universes where Booker wasn't born again, he became a Pinkerton agent, had a child, and gave her away. Meanwhile, in all the universes where Booker did accept the baptism, he became Comstock, founded Columbia, and ended up stealing his own daughter from an alternative version of himself.
We already have proof, in other words, that even if Zachary Hale Comstock doesn't emerge from the waters in one universe, he's still going to do so in an infinite number of others (okay, technically Elizabeth says "millions and millions", but let's face it, the clue's in the title). Why then, does killing Booker change this? Surely it just creates a "third branch", another offshoot of universes in which there's neither a Booker nor a Comstock? Obviously these worlds would be very different, but how does this change things for the people, the Columbians and the Elizabeths, in the first two universe branches?
I think there's some significance to do with the fact it's Elizabeth doing the drowning. Indeed, it's multiple versions of her. Perhaps the idea is that all these infinite Elizabeths are bringing infinite Bookers to this point in space and time, using their interdimensional powers to make the effects of the drowning spill across every universe. But I am reaching, desperately and without evidence, to make that theory work.
2. The Gender-Swap Statue
Log asks: How come that changes so neatly?
At the beginning of the game, the statue of R. Lutece, fizzes, and transforms from Robert Lutece into Rosalind. Do you spot it? We've got evidence here:
This was the first sign that Robert and Rosalind weren't siblings or spouses, as you first assume. They discovered each other from their individual studies, across universes where the difference was a single chromosome.
So: how come the statue changes gender? Has their work created a J.J. Abrams Fringe-bridge between these two particular universes? Has their co-existence on Columbia, that fulcrum of quantum activity, destabilised this one detail - the recorded gender of R. Lutece?
The reason this grates, and this is something I haven't been able to shake since you first mentioned it, Craig, is that this creates the suspicion that this was originally a story about two universes. A Robert/Comstock and Rosalind/Booker duality.
I suppose it's possible that it's just a gimmick programmed into the statue, a vanity project by the people who floated Columbia and discovered parallel universes. That would be cool - if the Luteces were just a pair of flashy sods.
Craig asks: Where did all the other glitches go?
I hadn't actually considered the fact that the statue changing genders could just be some quantum show-offery on the Luteces' part. That actually makes a lot of sense.
BUT HANG ON. Early trailers for the game featured a lot more of this stuff. There were hidden details like paintings transforming, or a politician's badges switching from being stars and stripes to a hammer and sickle, all with a similar shimmery effect. There's every possibility that this stuff is still in game, and we've just missed it, but if so it doesn't really make sense. It's made pretty clear that Elizabeth is necessary if you want to move between universes or smush bits of them together, but the spontaneous change of the status would suggest that the universes are collapsing into one another without Liz's help.
One last possibility - the game's opening sequence hides its twist in plain sight, quoting from Robert Lutece's book on trans-dimensional travel. Lutece's argument is that a dimension-hopping aberration like Booker will go through a process where their brain makes new memories in order to adapt to the new world. Perhaps the statue changing is Booker's perception - he's gone from a world with a Robert Lutece to a world that originally had only a Rosalind Lutece, and his perceptions are slowly catching up to this fact.
3. Universe-Hopping: The Rules?
Log asks: What happens when Elizabeth opens a super-tear?
At first, it seems like Booker and Elizabeth simply step into another world. But when you encounter the shimmering semi-deads, it seems that the two worlds are superimposed. All the people you killed are restored to a mentally broken state of life, within which is the debilitating memory of death. This is backed up by Booker, who begins to have memories from the other universe, accompanied with a nosebleed.
So how come this doesn't happen with Robert and Rosalind Lutece? If they're alternates of themselves, how do they coexist? And more crucially, how can Booker and Comstock meet, with these rules?
Furthermore, how come Booker, when he enters the universe in which he died a heroes death for the Vox Populi, doesn't begin to shimmy and phase like the others?
I can try to answer my own questions, here. The Lutece's aren't using the same method as Elizabeth - their portal is more solid than Elizabeth's tears. Their system might be more protected, allowing Booker and Comstock to co-exist in the same way they do. And I suppose, if Booker's jump into the universe where he's dead isn't his first superimposed messy Liz-jump, he might have a higher than 50% alive-rating, protecting him from death-shock. You see? This is how good BioShock Infinite is. I really want it to work.
Craig asks: Why is Comstock so special?
At first, I thought the idea was that Booker and Elizabeth were hopping from one world to the next, but I'm not so sure anymore. Her powers definitely have a different visual signature to the Luteces' cleaner portals, and I like the idea that she's somehow smushing two realities together, doing untold damage in the process. But either way, Booker gets his first nosebleed before he's even met Elizabeth, at which point he's only passed through a Lutece portal, so why he and Comstock seem to be selectively immune to the quantum suffering of Columbia's other residents (like the people who are both dead and alive at once, or the lady sweeping her shop floor even as, from our perspective, it's on fire) isn't clear.
Also, by the end of the game Elizabeth can clearly make clean jumps across the multiverse. She even gets to visit Rapture.
Log chips back in:
Perhaps that's because she's free of the power-draining effects of the siphon? So many things going on...
4. Universe-Hopping: The Motives
Log asks: You destroyed a universe to move some guns?
When Booker and Elizabeth realise how difficult it would be to move a bunch of guns, Elizabeth notices a tear. Inside that tear, they see that there are no guns. Bold assumption: the guns must be where they want them to be.
Aside from the fact that this is one dementedly optimistic assumption, why would you enter that universe? In doing so, you haven't completed a mission, retrieved someone's guns, and earned yourself the use of an airship. You've stepped into a universe where that mission would never have been offered, because the guns were never taken. Are you hoping that the Vox leader will say "oh yeah, I have started to have memories about giving you a mission to retrieve the guns that we've already used to liberate Columbia." And then NOT say "wait a minute, you're dead in this universe, the deal I never really made is totally off."
5. The Introduction Of Ghosts
Log says: Ghosts? Oh come ON.
When Elizabeth first mentions wish fulfillment, it fits into the fiction. She has access to an infinite number of universes, so if she's guided by her desires to find a world where there's tea instead of coffee, or different coloured towels, that's fine. I'll buy that. It also makes sense that she'd have more casual access to universe with smaller changes. (The fact she has access to universes at other time periods multiplies the complexity by itself, but never mind, let it ride.)
But ghosts? She can summon a ghost of her mother out of nowhere, because she's angry, all of a sudden? Are you telling me that the constants of the multiverse includes something as specific and dependent on the current laws of physics as a lighthouse, but all of a sudden you can create ghosts? I'm really not buying this bit. And yes, I know you put ghosts into the original Bioshock - and System Shock 2 - but they were echoes. Not massive bloody boss battles.
Time passes...
Wait! I've just remembered that the possession animation is a ghost. That's a clever way of foreshadowing the whole huamn soul/machine melding thing that's implied with Songbird and Handymen. But there's still a yawning chasm between a ghost controlling metal and meat, and a ghost flying around a Garden and summoning monsters out of nowhere. As much prep work as was done, this anger-fuelled boss nonsense came jarringly out of leftfield.
RT @mudron: Excuse me, I gotta get back to my totally realistic game where I shoot sexy ghosts out of my hand while fighting Sky Racists.
— Ken Levine (@IGLevine) March 28, 2013
Stop that, Ken, you brilliant sexy monster. There's a difference between realism and sticking to your own rules. Or, maybe, letting us know the rules with enough clarity to give infinity-spanning epic endings the impact they deserve.
6. The Rapture Cameo
Craig asks: So what the trans-dimensional conflagration has Rapture got to do with all this?
You know how the original game's Would You Kindly twist offered some wry commentary on game design without actually breaking the fourth wall? Well, Infinite's closing act is doing the same thing, even though the fourth wall does look a bit battered by the end.
When Liz are Booker are going for their mind-bending walk around the lighthouses, Elizabeth states there's always a lighthouse, always a man and always a city. Columbia is just one of the possibilities. So is Rapture. The BioShock multiverse, then, just happens to function like the BioShock franchise - constantly offering variations on the same core motifs and themes. The game doesn't actually make this meta-commentary, but it's hard to escape it.
For the purposes of Infinite's plot, however, Rapture is a distraction, since Booker and Elizabeth's main concern is the many universes in which Columbia and its hate-filled prophet appear.
There's a chance, however, that Rapture is a bit more woven into the story of Columbia than it first appears. Two thirds of the way through the game you can pick up a Voxaphone that strongly implies the technology behind Songbird came from one of Elizabeth's tears, just as so much of the Columbia's musical culture arrived. It's possible that the tear actually led to Rapture - and that's why so much of the city's technology (the Handymen, the Songbird, and Vigors) function like that found in Andrew Ryan's city. This would also make the Songbird's eventual fate rather fitting, as the monster is returned to ocean from whence it (indirectly) came.
Of course, because it's already been established that this is a multiverse stuffed full of these weird, isolated cities, perhaps the idea is that they share all these similarities because, well, just because. Perhaps the full text of Elizabeth's speech should have gone as follows: "There's always a man, there's always a city, there's always plasmids - vigors, whatever - there's always great big bastard-tough enemies in suits, there's always vending machines. And there's always plot twists."
Log says: My head's beginning to ache.
That'd be great. "Hacking mini-games," she'd continue. "There's not always hacking mini-games. And ammo types, that's definitely a variable. But there's always magic in the left hand, and guns in the right. That never changes."
On another issue, I quite liked the CAGE twist, where it wasn't a cage, but the musical notes, C-A-G-E. That fit quite nicely with Elizabeth's role as a cryptographer. But wouldn't it have been better if the note sequence had been CABBAGE? Then Songbird could have arrived with his tongue hanging out, saying "Oh boy oh boy! I lurrve cabbages". You could make him go away by playing "A DEAD BAD EGG". And he'd go "eerrrrgh, bad egg, smelly" and fly off. Missed an open goal there, Irrational.
And... rest
It's easy to talk yourself into a state of angry confusion with Bioshock Infinite. But the fact it's such a great game only lends a poisonous edge to that confusion. At the end of the game, we both wish it had stayed a story about Elizabeth, Booker and Comstock, and not turned into the grand unifying theory of BioShocks.
In the review, I said that BioShock Infinite felt like Irrational leaving their series behind. I said that because you can't expose your constants (city, lighthouse) so explicitly, then re-use them convincingly. And that feels rude, here. You can't leave us like this, and just walk away.
Here's hoping that the end was a mid-season finale. I'm buying my Season Pass, and I'm hoping what follows is great.

Victorious Lange is long on promises
Wellington, New Zealand
New Zealand's Labour government has major promises to keep after winning another term in office in the Aug. 15 general election. This is needed to restore the faith of its traditional supporters in the labor unions and lower income groups, who have warned they expect to see some old-fashioned socialist policies put into place over the next three years. To do this, Prime Minister David Lange has now targeted major improvements in the nation's health, education, and welfare services as his government's main aim. Many long-time Labour voters stayed away from the polls to protest economic policies that seemed to benefit the wealthy at their expense.
But enough conservative voters, who normally support right-wing parties, shifted to Labour to give it a healthy 15-seat majority (56 to 41) in the 97-seat House of Representatives.
Since coming to power in 1984, Mr. Lange's administration had concentrated on a radical reform of the economy on free market lines. It launched a massive deregulation program, floated the New Zealand dollar, abolished farming and manufacturing subsidies, and dismantled protectionist barriers. A number of government departments were converted into corporations and told to earn a profit.
The policy turned one of the world's most over-regulated and protected economies into one of the most free-wheeling. Financiers and speculators made millions, but the man in the street suffered as inflation soared to a record 18.9 percent, mortgage rates topped 20 percent, and unemployment rose. The government admits that unemployment (now 6.3 percent) is still rising and that this remains its biggest problem. It has pledged massive programs to give unskilled workers the training they need to get jobs.

"I ordered two different designs for my graduation invitations and this was my favorite one. It was simple, yet chic and stylish and it met all of my needs. The picture quality was great, they printed beautifully on the paper and the paper itself was great. I was more than pleased with my invitations!"
"Hard to find a card that works for twin graduates. This one was perfect. Took their professional senior photos and popped them in the front, the diagonal really served to separate and make them both important. Loved the picture availability on the back which allowed me to put in photo of the two together as babies and in their college sweatshirts. Had to be brief in my language on the front, but that made for a better card. Received many compliments as to the quality!"
"Great invitation. I didn't have alot of information to print on it so it was the perfect invite. The use of three photos was a good idea because I was able to put a graduation pic from now, one from pre school and a sports picture. Loved the print style and they came quite quickly after ordering them. Good quality paper, they are not flimsy or done on photo paper. I'm very glad I chose this one."
"Love the quailty of this item. Already getting compliments from guests on how beautiful my invitations are. Would highly recommend Tiny Prints to all my friends and business collegues. Definitely will be a future customer again!"

@matthewc23 - I understand your point, but I think we are missing the big picture here. How are people stealing bricks like this and smuggling them?
One would think that there would be a lot of security and cameras at the Parthenon, but apparently this is not the case as I know I have met at least two people that have a brick from the Parthenon.
I really do not understand why anyone would try it or even get away with it. I am guessing security must be a bit lax there and I find this to be very unfortunate.

HCPS interns develop software prototype
Two Henrico County students have spent their summer internships creating a working prototype of an online application system for students applying to the county's high school specialty centers. The interns and management of eTelic Inc., the information technology firm that hosted the interns this summer, estimate that an automated system could save students, teachers and administrators as many as 20,000 total hours per year currently spent using the paper-based application process. Printing and paper costs for all also would be substantially reduced. Jack Palen, a recent Maggie L. Walker Governor's School graduate headed to the University of Michigan, and Shravan Ravishankar, a rising senior at Deep Run High School, developed the online software application during their four-week internship using eTelic's proprietary rapid software application generator called Turanto. According to Lynne Norris, department chairperson of Deep Run's Center for Information Technology, the real-world experience provided to Palen and Ravishankar in this endeavor will prove invaluable as they transition to college and a job after academics. "This type of experience allows a student to see beyond school and experience what a business goes through in working to solve a real problem for itself or for a customer," Norris said. "Not many students have an opportunity to do that prior to entering the job market, which everyone knows is getting more competitive each year." The two students are planning to schedule a presentation to HCPS officials in order to demonstrate the prototype, hoping it will assist county management in determining the scope and value of automating the current system in the future. An online system could replace the paper-based system used by 3,700 students per year as well as hundreds of teachers and administrators who submit transcripts and recommendations for eighth-grade applicants to the county's high school specialty centers. "Normally this type of software program would take an experienced programmer working full time up to six months to create," said eTelic president Mukul Paithane. "It is remarkable that these two bright students built this complex, data-driven software application in only four weeks, and with minimal programming. Jack and Shravan were able to use their limited time focusing on analyzing a real-world 'business problem' and developing a practical solution to replace a paper-based application process, saving time and money for everyone involved." Further development of the prototype would allow Henrico County eighth-grade students, teachers and administrators to complete, submit and review various documents online, including the application itself, along with other documents such as transcripts and teacher recommendations. They would be provided with secure access to the system in order to process information needed from them. Specialty Center school admissions officials would then use the system to access all information used to make decisions on which students should be admitted into various magnet schools. "From my experience in using the current paper system, I know that an automated process would save other students tremendous amounts of time when applying, and the cost-savings for the county should be significant as well," said County Intern Coordinator Robert Stephens. |
RAMPS receives $8k grant

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.

This is my HG cleanser ever. It has salicylic acid which is great for acne prone skin like me. I've serious acne especially at my jaw line and sometimes at my neck which is really gross. But with this cleanser even after using it like 2 days, i saw a big improvement on my skin. my skin is less oily and i can tell the acne is reduce from worse to better. I'm impressed! I wish i saw this cleanser back in my teenage age so i can deal with acne. totally recommended!

I like this product because it keeps my skin from getting oily. But as for preventing/getting rid of acne, I don't see much difference. The little beads in it are pretty harsh, so I don't use it often, maybe only once or twice a week, but that is probably because I have fairly sensitive skin.
The smell is okay - I've been using it for a while so I may just be used to it. But what I really like about it is that you don't need to use a lot for it to cover your whole face; and it's already quite inexpensive!
However, if used to often, not only does my face feel more sensitive than usual, but it dries out my skin. I don't recommend using on a daily basis, but perhaps every other day or less than that if you have particularly sensitive skin.
Overall though, I like this product. It exfoliates nicely and my face always feels clean and smooth afterwards. I would most definitely buy it again.

I have this in the old tube because I've heard from a reviewer that it was better than the new one.I've used this once at my cousin's house ages ago and decided to try it out.I really need a good exfoliant since my skin is bumpy/rough and full of dead skin cells not even wash cloths can do the trick.I've been using this before my normal bar soap cleanser and my bumps have reduced and my forehead is half way clear.OH!and I use it on my bacne also.It really made my face and back soft.I use this about every night and I have been using it gently since the exfoliants are abrasive.This is probably my fifth day using it and it might be my HG facial scrub!

This product has the 2% salicylic acid that's supposed to help with acne, just letting those whom have had bad experiences with salicylic acid.
When you first massage onto your face one pump of the product, the scent of it can be rather overwhelming but you'll get used to it. The scent is not similar to that of the apricot scrub.
What I do, is that i leave the product on my face while i brush my teeth and you'll feel this refreshing feeling in your face, definitely great to start the day off with. When you wash the product off, your face feels refreshed and clean.
The product is really effective in reducing blemishes but would take a few washes to get most of the blemishes gone. This is a pretty harsh product so I may not recommend this to those with sensitive skin. I have slightly sensitive skin but I only use this every three days just to ensure that no big pimples appear.
Decent packaging but difficult to travel with because it has a pump. Totally recommend to those with acne-prone skin.

I paid only $2 for this so it's a steal. As for acne treating ability, i think it's great for prevention but not as treatment as it doesn't stay on the skin very long. It's a bit drying since it is gel based. I use it in the morning and it rinses clean with a few splashes of water... it doesn't linger on the skin like a lot of cleansers tend to do. I wish it didn't come with little scrubbies so I can use it with my Clarisonic. The scrubbies are very sparse and useless anyways.

This was ok but it's not for my skin type. It dried out my skin too much. I have more combination skin now and I have occasional breakouts so this was a little too strong for me.
If you are blemish prone though this would be a really good product for your skin. The smell is nice. I was afraid at first that the beads would get caught in my eyebrows, etc but it all rinses clean away.

I use St Ives Apricot Scub which is my HG. I can't say enough good things about that scrub. Anyway, this cleanser is not as harsh as the scrub but I prefer to use the scrub without this cleanser since I believe they are too strong to be used together. I have to use the scrub every other day or I will have breakouts and and since both of these products contain 2% salicylic acid, I feel there is no need to use both products. I did alternate days with these two products but it did dry out my oily skin. Overall, I think St Ives Blemish/Blackhead Control line is absolutely wonderful but I will choose to use the scrub for now but would consider using the cleanser in the future if my skin needs a break from a harsh scrub.

Mercedes Showroom Prepares For Multi-Million Relocation
Written by: OfficeMan under News
A vehicle showroom could be moving from Besses over to Bury, if plans for relocating are given the go-ahead to move forward. Apparently, the Mercedes-Benz showroom is planning on shutting down its present base, which is located on Bury Old Road, in order to open up a new multi-million-pound showcasing site that will be located on Manchester Road. The site where the Mercedes-Benz company is planning to move to, has been vacant since 2008.
It was previously the site where Volvo used to reside. The firm has asked permission for the Bury Council to demolish the garage that is located on the Manchester Road site, and opt to construct a new dealership, garage, and a MOT testing centre. On top of building all of these facilities in the area, one hundred forty eight parking spaces, will also be available in the region as well.
A report by the council states that the garage in Besses is presently not suitable for what the firm needs it to be used for. The site does not provide the opportunity for the firm to expand their dealership, and be able to develop their business. The new site will be able to adhere to the requirements of the firm.
The new site provides the opportunity that the company is looking for, regarding its dealership. It is a larger area, which makes it more suitable for what the firm would like to do. The proposed construction alterations, will enable the company to be able to improve and modernise the appearance of the site. It will enable the company to be able to appeal to passerby's that are driving in traffic.
Enabling the Mercedes-Benz organisation to move to the new site, is not only going to provide the company with an attractive site that they will be able to operate on, but it will also allow the company to bring a high level of attention to the residents that locally reside within the area. This will bring attention to individuals and people that utilize Manchester Road, which will be where the new proposed site will rest.
Allowing the new site to be built in the area, will also help to boost the small town's economy a lot. It will raise the commercial profile of the town, as well as enhance the reputation of this often overlooked portion of Bury. There are presently, forty-four individuals that work at Besses, none additional individuals will be added onto the working crew, in order to assist with the move.
The firm has held some pre-application conversations with the council, as well as a public consultation meeting with neighbors that presently utilize the site. The talks were conducted at the Hebrew Synagogue located in Bury, on June the 18th. The communities proposal to Mercedes-Benz moving into the area, were received favorably. The majority of the individuals residing within the area, are pleased to see that the open site will be put back to use.
The Bury Council has sent out written surveys to ninety neighbors, asking what their opinions on the move are.
Ebbon-Dacs Makes Plans To Relocate In Order To Expand Their Organisation
Written by: OfficeMan under News
Ebbon-Dacs, which is an Oxford-based virtual fleet's provider, is preparing for expansion, and furthering the development of their business, by relocating to a brand new facility, just outside of their present city. Ebbon-Docs, which presently supplies an exclusive e-procurement platform, known as Leaselink for fleet management industries that are engaged in contract to hire leasing programmes, has managed to outgrow its present offices.
Its current offices are located in Cumnor. The organisation has been utilizing its present offices for the past twelve years, and for that time frame, they have been able to suffice. However, as new business developments, are continuing to flood the offices of the organisation, the only way that they can keep their business operating to its full efficiency, is to relocate.
The office is planning on introducing new business development ideas, furthering its course of business overseas, and adding on new members of staff. With all of these new additions in the works, the business demanded new facilities and new offices, in order to keep their business afloat. The new offices, needed to be able to match the growing aspirations that the business has for itself.
The organisation has decided to move to Wooton Business Park. The newer high-tech offices, will provide the business with increased space, enhanced resources for staff, and on-site training facilities, for the new staff members that they are hoping to hire, in the near future. The managing director for the organisation, Robert Pilkington, states that the organisation required new offices that would be able to match their expansion and growing ambitions.
Along with furthering development plans for Leaselink, the organisation is also planning on opening up a few new offices in Germany, this year as well. These offices will be added to the present offices, that the organisation, already has erected in the Netherlands. There is a development team that is presently working for the organisation, in the Eastern section of Europe.
At the present time, Germany, is the largest automobile market in the world, and it is also one of the largest fleet marketers within Europe. By opening up commercial offices in the country, the organisation is hoping that they will be able to attack the market, in a good way. The organisation has recently started developing a second generation product for Leaselink.
The second generation product, is being used by thirteen of the fifteen top leasing companies within the UK. The platform is used by fleet and leasing management companies, in order to be able to track deliveries in a more efficient manner. The organisation is more than 100,000 newer fleet vehicles per year, away from purchasing a community of motor manufacturers, and there are presently 1500 different franchised dealers, nationally, that work with the organisation.
With all of the product enhancements and developments taking action, the need to fuel the expansion of the organisation, could not have come at a greater time. Pilkington states that he feels that right now is the perfect time for the organisation to relocate, and the entire team is ready for the next phase of the organisations development.

Search Craigslist from your desktop
Efficiently sort through Craigslist's many listings with a free desktop reader offering a bundle of ways to narrow your search.
If you've ever hunted for a job, housing, furniture, or love on Craigslist.com, you'll appreciate the focus that Craigslist Reader Pro brings to your search. The desktop reader isn't pretty to look at, but it quickly lets you hone your search in Craigslist's key cities and categories, even displaying negative search terms and appropriate variables like your need for images, price ranges, and, for housing, the allowance of pets.
For each search, Craigslist Reader Pro took a few seconds to load results into the top of four panels. The panel below displays the contents of each entry in an in-app browser. You'll be able to scroll to read contents and can reply to posters by clicking the address shown in the reader. The filter menu was also useful in narrowing an expansive field of results.
Craigslist Reader Pro isn't pretty, and a few settings could benefit from a short Help menu. We're glad to see the e-mail-like management features for deleting discarded entries that was absent from previous versions. Those who are interested in saving favorites will have to upgrade to the full version to do so. As it is, Craigslist Reader Pro delivers on its promises to display Craigslist content in what is a functional desktop reader.

This is a wonderfully moisturizing eye cream. It's concentrated, and a little goes a long way. It's great for tired eyes in either the a.m. or the p.m. It provides necessary moisture especially after I take my makeup off at the end of the day.

Best drug store eye cream available! I have to say that I have tried other brands like Roc, Olay and even Lancôme, but this one by L'Oreal is amazing! Is very hydrating and creamy, has a very light delicate scent and is sturdily packaged. I recently received a sample of Estée Lauder's eye cream and I have to say that the Revitalift is much better.

I used this product for about a month before it reacted on me. I was using it around my eyes for fine lines and decided that I'd use the small excess that was still on my finger on my cheeks....WRONG thing to do ! I woke up one morning with a quarter size bright red burn mark on the left cheek and a smaller on the right. Tomorrow I go to the dermatologist to see what I can do to get rid of it. It burns and itches and bites. I have fair-meduim skin with blonde hair. Maybe I'm just too sensative for this stuff....

This eye cream did nothing for my eyes: the dark circles are still there and the puffiness didn't diminish even though I kept this eye cream in my refrigerator.
So after months using it and no effect, I decided to apply it on my hands and feet, just to not waste it. My hands and feet are slightly dry and had signs of aging. I scrubbed my feet to get a nicer appearance but it didn't improve it much. After applying a generous amount of this cream for maybe a week or two, I noticed that my hands and feet had that youthful look again.
For $20 it's not worth it as a hand/foot cream since it will end quickly. But now only some scrubbing is necessary on my feet and any moisturizer will keep my hands and foot smooth.

I use this product to moisturize when I am out of my other moisturizer, but to me it good for that but doesn't do anything for my fine lines and it is too heavily scented for me.

I use eye cream at a really fast rate so I don't have the means to splurge on 15ml eye creams that could only last for 2.5 to 3 mths.
This one has anti-ageing properties. I'm 20 this year but I used this because the lines underneath my eyes are really defined and long when I smile.
Because I bought it at a neighbourhood convenenience store, it's even cheaper than average drug stores.
As for whether it is an effective eye cream, I would say it made some difference as compared to not using one at all. It just an average product.
I may purchase this again because it is cheap.

I am in LOVE!!!! After using and looking for an eye cream to finally suit my needs I found it!!! I hope they don't stop making this because it is WONDERFUL!!! First of all the price is cheap compared to all other eye creams I have tried in the past the product itself is amazing. It moisturizes without stinging yor eye, plumps up little fine lines.....your eyes feel refreshed and very hydrated for the whole day. I can't get over it. I mainly look for something that moisturizes without causing millia....whether this eye cream gets rid of wrinkles....well, I don't think any eye cream does this but this one helps hydrating so u don't get more and plumps the little fine lines. I don't have wrinkles in my eyes yet just fine lines under eye and it helps smooth those out. I am very impressed in the quality of this product. I would definitely buy over and over again!!

I started using this when Clinique Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream was busting my budget. It works very nicely for me. It plumps up the skin under my eyes, reducing the little fine lines. I still don't like it as much as the Clinique, but for the money, I can't complain. I will keep buying this as long as it works for me!

This didn't do anything for me. Actually, no eye cream has yet so maybe I'm not being fair. But I felt that other eye creams (from Clinique, Olay, etc.) did a better job of moisturizing my under eye and making it smooth. It didn't make my skin firmer like what it claimed to do.

Stephen C. Rubin, MD
Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
I have recently tested positive for BRCA1 gene. My mother died of ovarian cancer 13 years ago at age 57. Although I am healthy, preventive oopherectomy has been advised. I am 49 yo, and perimenopausal. I have had regular CA 125 and ultrasound exams, all normal. Should I seek a second opinion?
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Women who test positive for mutations in the BRCA1 gene, and who have a family history of ovarian or breast cancer, have a risk of developing ovarian cancer that has been estimated to be as high as 60%. Screening methods, such as CA 125 and pelvic sonograms, cannot be relied on to detect ovarian cancer early. I strongly agree that women in your situation should have prophylactic removal of the ovaries when they have completed childbearing. Other female members of your family should consider genetic Counseling and testing.
Oct 14, 2010 - he Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (SGO) has issued a comprehensive white paper -- as part the organization's professional GynecoLogic Cancer Collaborative education program -- that provides an overview of and background on the screening, diagnosis, and management of ovarian cancer. The report is published in the October issue of Gynecologic Oncology.

Rapha Team Sky Women's Bib Shorts
Sizes: XXS to XL
Color: Black with Team and Sponsor Logos
More Info: www.Rapha.cc
What The Manufacturer Says
Made from a comfortable, compressive stretch fabric that is breathable and durable, these shorts are designed for maximum comfort and durability on long rides. The shorts use a chamois pad designed specifically for women riders and have a panelled construction to guarantee a superb fit. Flatlock stitching throughout means they won't chafe, no matter how long or hard you ride. The fabric also has a wicking treatment to improve moisture transfer and an anti-bacterial treatment to prevent the build-up of the bacteria that can irritate the skin. The bib section is made from two different mesh fabrics to regulate body temperature. Cut high for a more flattering line, the mesh at the front offers excellent support and is designed to be worn with a sports bra.
Tester: Kate Powlison (Size Tested: Small)
Fit: These fit me quite well. The seams and fabric expanded where I needed them to and fit close where I didn't.
Function: Most comfortable bibs I've ever worn, hands down. Two and a half hours into an epic six hour ride, I suddenly realized that I had no crotch pain, no chafing, no discomfort whatever. I didn't think that was possible! I'll have to find new excuses to cut my rides short now.
The design of the full length bib top also changed my mind about the concept. It didn't seem as restricting or hot as other versions of this design. I think this was a combination of the zipper, a lower neckline, and the super-lightweight mesh. I never ended up using the zip pocket. As long as you're wearing a jersey with well-designed pockets, it seems unnecessary and restrictive.
Materials: Nice and lightweight. Does seem a bit delicate. I had to be careful about snagging or abrading the fabric. Even with careful washing, the silk screened graphics started to crack and peel, particularly the Pinarello logo.
Fashion: I found the zipped top to be very flattering. When I unzipped my jersey on a sweaty climb, I didn't have to worry about distracting motorists with a flash of bright white belly fat.
Additional Comments: I thought it was really cool that Rapha offered a women's version of the Sky team kit. For all the female racing fans out there, this is all too rare of an offering. Now, the next step is to get their own women's pro team!
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5
Tester: Liz Barcheck (Size Tested: Medium)
Fit: These shorts fit okay. I liked the length but they were a little tight. They have the small elastic band at the bottom of the short that I really dislike, but it's not terribly unflattering. The bib fit well and isn't too tight.
Function: Unfortunately, I found that for my body the chamois was bulky and misplaced. It sticks out too far in the back when I'm on my saddle. I don't really think the chamois is all that comfortable in general. I do like the bib style, even though traditionally I like thin straps that allow for lots of airflow, I almost feel like this style of bibs that provides more mesh coverage almost acts as a little base layer. There is a pocket hidden in the back, which is place to keep an ID or some cash.
Materials: They definitely feel great, the material is breathable and isn't too constricting. The mesh is soft and there is a liner on the chest where the zipper is to keep that area free of chaffing.
Fashion: My biggest beef with these shorts, is the seam on the chamois that puckers out in the back. It makes more of a bubble butt scenario than a girl in a chamois wants to have. Otherwise the lines are smooth and clean, and I really do like the look and feel of the bib.
Additional Comments: These shorts feel really nice, they are comfortable mostly because the fabric is really soft and thin. I could definitely ride for a long time in them and feel fine, they just don't fit perfectly.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
Tester: Elizabeth Train (Size Tested: Small)
Fit: These bibs fit very well — they're supportive and comfortable.
Function: I'm not sure why there are so many zippers on these bibs. The one in the front seems unnecessary. The fabric seems like it would stretch well enough to get them on without it. And the zippered pouch in the small of the back is absolutely inaccessible unless the bibs are off. So I'm not sure what it's for. (Maybe it's to transport super-secret intel?) In any event, I found them a little overwrought in the zipper department. But I love the chamois.
Materials: The materials in the Rapha bibs are understated yet luxurious. (Yes, I realize we're talking about Lycra here. Humor me.) These are beautiful, high-quality bibs.
Fashion: These bibs look and feel great on. The detailing is beautiful (love the oval cutout in the back) and I like the longer short length — that's hard to find in women's shorts in general.
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
Tester: Lisa Sumner (Size Tested: Medium)
Fit: These bibs look and fit like a body suit. The legs come to mid-thigh and the upper mesh part of the bib is a good length and fit me well. The only compliant I have on the fit is the leg bands are slightly tight. They didn't result in any major unsightly leg bulge but I would like just a bit more room.
Function: I don't really understand the benefit of the body suit bib. Rapha claims it's for a clean look when wearing your jersey, no strap seams showing. It does accomplish this task; however, on hot days I prefer less material up top when riding. One nice feature Rapha added to the upper mesh part is a zipper allowing you get more air flow when needed. The material continued up the bib until just under my sternum and then transitioned to the mesh upper. Having the fabric transition higher up on my body was much more comfortable while riding and resulted in a more flattering overall look. The chamois did its job well. I didn't really notice it at all which is a good thing and I was comfortable while riding.
Materials: I don't know how better to explain the material than just plain soft. It feels like the tissues you buy that have just a hint of lotion in them. They feel very luxurious when on. There were no seams on the inside of the bibs. The elastic leg band was an inch thick band, which is smooth on the upper side with a slightly sticky feel on the underside, so there no glue spots, which I found comfortable.
Fashion: The bibs fit very well and the Lycra coming up higher on the body creates a flattering look. We tested the team Sky bibs so they included the Sky logo on the legs and back, but it's possible to buy the bibs in all black, which looks very sleek and classic. I also like that the Rapha logo is very non-descript.
Additional Comments: Rapha did alter the design of the bib to be specific for a woman but they did not address the restroom issue in this altered design.
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5

I first stumbled upon Nic Gregoriades & his Jiu-Jitsu Brotherhood while browsing videos online. Nic happens to be Roger Gracie's first Black Belt which he received in 4.5 years. Pretty outstanding accomplishment actually.
What resonated most with me besides Nic's knowledge and technique was his outlook and philosophy on Jiu-Jitsu. For a glimpse into his outlook just check out his video The Spirit of Jiu-Jitsu below.
I suggest you take a moments and watch it all the way through, it fires me up to go train and I'm sure it will have the same effect on you.

"Dark Booter is one of the best stressers we have ever tested at Top 10 Booters"
(60GB/s of Power)(Stop Button)(Instant)(Skype Resolvers)(CloudFlare Resolver)((Support))
Best Booter list: DarkBooter
Best Stresser
Dark Booter is one of the best stressers we have ever tested at Top 10 Booters, so we have taken the time to team up with our buddies at Exploit Interactive and find out what they have discovered.
DarkBooters custom API and Private Shell list give it the extra attack types and hard hitting GB/ps needed to take down larger servers such as Private WoW Servers and Minecraft, DayZ Game Servers and even Runescape servers.
Using offshore custom shells for most of its power, it means that the source of the power comes from lots of different places, making the attacks especially hard to block and null route. As per our testing on our own server Cloudflare was knocked off instantly (Free version) with the usual 5GBS minimum, the booter seems to be hitting somewhere around 50GBS.
Unlike most Booters, this IP Stresser hits from multiple locations, hard. This means your target will stay down for a long period of time. DarkBooter is definately in the running for 2014 best stresser. We have noticed that other top 10 booter sites have started to notice DarkBooter and we think they will remain one of the best stressers for a long time to come.
Many customers are talking about how good the support and power is on Youtube, the owners plan to release a sister project soon. DarkBooters UI is easy to use, like iDDoS it boasts many types of resolvers from Skype to Steam and even Cloudflare.
Why is Dark Booter considered one of the best stessers?
DarkBooter is owned and managed by very experienced staff, they stick to their rules and help users on a regular basis. Dark Booter is growing rapidly, now assumed to be one of the best stressers ever made. Stay anonymous while you perform your attacks and practice subterfuge on your own networks. Train yourself to avoid intrusion and to quickly identify incoming attacks with a contender for Best Stresser 2013
