LONDON, Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportbuyer.com has added a new market research report:
Cross Platform Mobile Development Tools: Market Analysis & Forecast - Third Edition
The Cross Platform Mobile Development Tools market is beginning to mature as revenue growth slows. We expect the market to grow from $3.2 billion US dollars in 2013 to $3.6 US dollars in 2014, representing a 14% growth rate. This is a decrease from the 97% rate we saw in 2013.
A variety of factors contribute to this trend:
- Increased popularity of native apps – Developers are still struggling with the limitations of cross platform development. The performance of web technologies and access to device level functionality are cited by developers as significant challenges, pushing them toward native app development.
- Growth of mobile developer population is slowing – The percentage of mobile developers with less than one year experience is decreasing, indicating the rate at which new developers entering the field is decelerating.
- Diminishing productivity returns – Developers are reporting less efficiency gains when using cross platform mobile development tools compared to previous years. The drop is eroding the perceived value of tools.
- Spending per developer is dropping – The investment made on mobile development tools on a per developer basis has dropped over the past 14 months.
This study covers cross platform mobile development tools that enable developers to write applications, using a variety of languages that run on multiple mobile operating systems with minimal code changes. From a geographic perspective, the large and increasingly technical populations in the Asia Pacific region present the greatest opportunity for mobile development tools vendors. The enterprise is also an important market segment contributing representing the vast majority of revenues for tools vendors.
A shortage of native developers within the enterprise is continuing to help drive growth for cross platform mobile development tools. This shortage is also changing industry dynamics. As IT departments are challenged to fulfill line of business managers requests for apps, application development is becoming more distributed with less control centered in the IT department. This shift is requiring unique strategies to target both the IT managers and line of business developers. Vendors are evolving business models and distribution strategies to better reach and serve diverse buyers and influencers across the enterprise.
Cross platform development tool vendors are also expanding their portfolio of offerings. Vendors can no longer focus on a single development approach but need to embrace various tools and services to support users with a range of skills. As vendors embrace multiple approaches they are also bringing to market a variety of auxiliary services to support their clients in building, supporting, managing, and improving their cross platform apps. These services include analytics, testing services, back-end services, MVC and MVVC frameworks, and enterprise mobility management services.
Acceptance of cloud based tools is also growing. Vendors began offering cloud service a few years ago and enterprises initially were hesitant to risk managing data and software in the cloud. As the general cloud trend takes hold across the enterprise, progressive companies are embracing the cloud model for cross platform mobile development tools and services.
New entrants and open source frameworks are also emerging providing lighter frameworks built from scratch for mobile app development. Ionic Framework is one tool that is gaining significant traction in the market.
With the market becoming more competitive, sound strategies and precise execution will vital to successful growth.

- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Agreed. Graphics cards have really improved, and if you game, getting a newer one is very worthwhile.

It's the only purchase that can in any way be considered and investment, since if you get a really nice one now, you can probably use it for years across multiple computers.
Around 1988 I bought a Nec Multisync 5D 21" CRT display for myself at work. It cost me $2400, but it was worth every penny as at the time everyone else was using 12" displays at 640x480 (or worse), and that monitor still works fine today (though its maximum resolution of around 1100x700 means it no longer sees active use).
I credit this display for eliminating ten years or so of eyestrain and discomfort, as well as productivity gains, and I wonder if it's one of the reasons my eyesight is still good many years later.
So spend the extra bucks on a 27" or 30" professional display and you won't regret it.
It's always worth spending more on interfaces between you and the rest of the world. That goes for monitors, mice, keyboards, as well as things like mattresses).
Yeah, I picked up a few widescreen LCDs, but I kept breaking them.
Now I'm back to using 21" CRTs that I've been picking up from Craigslist, and I now have slightly faster framerates in games, and I can just pick them up and start using them again after flinging them across the room ^_^

You're lucky... around 1997 I dropped ~$1600 on a 21" Sony Trinitron. It lasted about three years, then the picture went fuzzy (e.g. 18pt text was no longer readable)... I called up Sony and they responded with "yeah, that model does that after about three years. There's no way to repair it, and you're out of warranty, so too bad". Feh!
I've been using my TV as the monitor for years. Not for my "work" computer, but for my own home system, which gets lots of gaming use. Started with a rear projection TV (800x600) back in the late 90s (Terminal Velocity kicked ass on it), and currently using a 42" TV. I still have a 10 year old AOpen wireless keyboard that I'm typing on right now, although I still use a wired mouse for better fragging. The TV card lets me watch TV in a window, while I surf, or swap back to full TV. Considering you can g

The switch from a single headed system to a 2 monitor setup was the single best improvment I've ever done.
At work I now have a 4 monitor setup. E-Mail is always open on 1, various Notepad notes and IM converstations on another, and the other 2 for whatever I'm doing.
Best improvement ... (Score:4, Insightful)
A couple of years ago I replaced my clunky, 5 year old, self-built Pentium 4 mini-tower with a MacBook Pro.
Portable, way more powerful, and a better OS. Plus, the ability to boot into Windows if I needed it. It was life changing, not being tied to my desk.
I had a desktop computer for years. I ditched it this year when the power supply blew up and killed any number of components. I replaced it with a cheap i3 laptop with HDMI. Now I can couch surf on a 32" HDTV instead of being tied to my desk. Incredibly, a generic Intel HD graphics chip works well with multiple cores.
Actually getting a laptop that emphasized battery life was probably the best thing I've ever done. Not actually being tethered to an outlet to do work is great. I didn't realize how big a hindrance it was to have laptop that couldn't last a day on a single charge while doing basic tasks.
Why upgrade one bit when you can upgrade everything at once and start afresh? I do this every three years on the dot now.

Moving from a spinning disk to SSD provided a noticeable and significant performance boost, everything ran faster and smoother.

By biggest upgrade was going from a P4 Prescott gaming rig to an i7 940 based one with two 10krpm drives in RAID0 and two video cards in SLI. But that's because the P4 blew caps and died, and I couldn't find any compatible mobos that would work with the existing parts, and most used ones had also blown caps and died at that time, leaving me too poor to overhaul my gaming PC for many years.
But for a single component, it would have to be hard drive/SSD. Storage has always been a computer's biggest bottleneck.

Three years I stopped playing WoW, and at that point I was also finished with Windoze B.S. I was tired of the crashing and instability. Plus the constant video upgrades required to play games. I was done with games, too.
I kicked it to the curb and bought a Mac Mini. 1,000,000% improvement to the overall happiness of my life.
Linux at work, Mac OSX at home. No Windows anywhere. Sheer bliss.
This is a very hard choice, since it all depends on where your bottleneck is. I've done three different upgrades that have had a drastic effect on my, as the buzzwordy types would say, "experience":
- I upgraded my 20" (1280x1024) IBM CRT monitor to an Apple LCD (1680x1050) back in 2005. The difference was amazing.
- I upgraded my Linux gaming box (yes, you read that right) from 1GB RAM to 4GB RAM a few years back. Everything suddenly ran significantly smoother
- Not an upgrade, but I coughed up the extra doug
SSD for sure (Score:5, Interesting)
Without a doubt, the most notable increase in performance for me was installing an SSD. I replaced a ultra 320 15k scsi drive with an early model intel SSD and it was night and day. I have since upgraded again to a 128gb model crucial m4 and I am LOVING it!!
0ms access time, 400MB/s read 250MB/s write (with SATA3). The system is simply snappier and more responsive. I have never had a CPU uprgade, or anything else, make as much of a difference.
Upgrading laptops we had at work with crucial m4's recently has breathed life into 4 or 5 year old machines which people constantly complained were slow. With the 64GB version at about $110, its really the best "bang for your buck" that you can do.
A better monitor, sitting beside my original one. Close second was a Logic3 pen mouse, that thing was brilliant. You held it like a pen, and it had a tiny mouse ball in the bottom (and an RS232 connector!). I used to sit with my arms folded doodling in AutoCAD on my left forearm; it worked really well for convincing the lecturer that I was slacking
I can't believe OS wasn't an option. Switching OSes was by far the best thing I have ever done in terms of increasing the overall satisfaction I had with my computer.
If this is strictly a hardware question though I'd have to go with SSD.
Made the system a lot quieter.
Was kind of a pain on a CRT iMac, though...
I went from a Mac IIci (albeit with an 68040 accellerator board) to a G3, i.e. 8 years and about 4 generations in one go. That's a noticeable increase in performance.
I remember that. I bought mine in 1998. The G3 was a big boost in performance over previous macs. I just got rid of my old 233 MHz G3 Beige desktop Mac a couple of months ago. Sold it and a monitor (CRT) to a collector of old macs via Craigslist (for $5). It still ran fine. It just took up a lot of desk space for the occasional game of Klondike. The browsers that would run on it tended to lock up on today's web content.
At different times I've done each of those upgrades, and each time it was "the best" upgrade I could do.
I'm going to have to go with input device, my Logitech Trackman wheel. I bought its predecessor originally for $100 back in the early 90's and have made sure I have one on every computer I use since.
But every time I upgrade some component it seems like a great thing. Going from monochrome to color monitors was fantastic. Then from a 15" to a 21" to dual 21" monitors was great. I like the extra screen real-estate and desk space with my current dual 24" flat panels, but I still think the dual Eizo CRT's looke
In 2000, I stopped using Windows as my main desktop and switched to Red Hat Linux (and later Fedora for a brief while). Then in late 2003 I switched from Linux to OS X on the desktop. In terms of getting my work done, both of these steps were improvements on what I was doing previously.
Note that Linux is still my server OS of choice, and likely always will be.
+++Out Of Cheese Error ???????+++
Redo from Start
...and replacing it with a new, faster NEC-V20 microprocessor. I don't know if I actually got more speed and power, but I was tickled to death with myself for doing the transplant.
As an upgrade strategy, it seemed like the logical thing to do at the time. Of course, my addiction won out. I now have portables and pads with no cure in sight.
Rural power grid tends to mean brownouts on a regular basis. Now I just laugh at them.
Inserting 36 dual-inline-package ram chips into my motherboard. Then doing it all over again after I installed all them upside down by mistake. It was a 386/20 I wish I could remember the company.
Hardest Upgrade: Putting RAM in a Mac Mini. Now THAT was hard. I cannot -believe- how hard that was. It was documented to be a two person job.
You'll be happy to know the current generation mac minis are a breeze to upgrade the RAM on. There is a bottom cover that twists open to reveal the RAM slots.
I can totally relate to upgrading RAM on the previous generation minis. We utilize a lot of minis at work so I got pretty good at it using a box cutter, putty knife, and a few small screw drivers in about 20 mins. It's still something I hate doing though.
the one I just did.
Back in 1998 I bought my first OEM system:
128MB of RAM
Which was a huge boost from my parents 486DX4 (AMD Overdrive) with its amazing 24MB of RAM and 500MB of disk space.
The next biggest jump was in 2009, when I went from a:
Shuttle SN25P (nForce4)
Athlon64 3200+
MSI GeForce 6800GT 512MB GDDR2
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
Intel Core i7 920
150GB 10K RPM Boot Drive + 2TB RAID0
Sapphire 4870 1GB GDDR3
Since then I upgraded some small bits:
Crucial M4 256GB SSD (still hav
1996 era IBM Model M keyboard. Replaced the membrane crap that I had prior. Best typing experience you'll ever have, and if someone breaks into your house, you can use it as a blunt instrument to defend yourself. (then type out the report for the police dept).
Best upgrade? Going from having no computer to having a computer. Sure, by modern standards my Mac SE with its 1 MB of RAM and a 20 MB hard drive is obsolete. But being able to edit documents without rewriting the entire thing forever changed how I went about my work. My work and home computers are orders of magnitude faster now, but the fundamental tasks that I perform on them haven't really changed all that much.
Tie for most noticeable upgrades:
1. 2400 baud modem to 14.4k baud modem. The BBS text just flew!
2. 56k modem to a cable modem. Can't remember the bandwidth on the cable account, but it was a couple order of magnitudes faster than the modem.
3. Windows 3.1 to Windows 95. Not having to run Trumpet Winsock any more = ZOMG THANK YOU.
my laptop was dead and unused until i swapped the hard disk and put a nix distro on it. now i use it all the time, as i'm forced to learn bash.
A really good slide rule.
However, as far as upgrades go, RAM usually gives best bang for buck. If in doubt, drop 1-2 grades on CPU and double your RAM with the money (which is generally aroudn the same cost, on typical consumer levels of hardware). You won't regret it.

There are the large moments. The ones where the Veil is lifted. These are the moments when the music stops and the dance ends. These are the moments when one can keep humming the tune and twirling like nothing has changed or stop to realize that those beyond the Veil have no cause for dancing.
I wish I had known then that a lot of us, in fact nearly every freshman, feels that insecurity in some way or another -- wondering whether they will succeed, whether people will like them, whether they can do the work.
What if we start to live into the promise and hope for liberty for everyone? What if we hope to believe and live like everyone is created equal? What if we actually lived like everyone is my neighbor?
Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Renisha McBride, Eric Garner, and Michael Brown will not simply be footnotes in history. They will be the names we look back on as those who united a new generation to sacrifice, endure, and fight for justice and equality and create a new Civil Rights Movement.
Like Emmett and Trayvon before him, the surrounding details are disputed. Yet, the final outcome is the same. Once again, history may never know what exactly took place because Michael is not here to speak for himself.
The African American race has taken blow after blow to our culture. It is torn apart and erased, then duplicated. It is mocked, ridiculed, and subjected to constant criticism. Then, it is plastered across billboards by the Eurocentric mass media. With consistent subtle jabs such as these, we still remained peaceful.
The possibility of being imperfect -- of making mistakes -- without dire consequences is in some respects the very definition of privilege. For only some groups need to fear that they may trip the wire of state-sanctioned violence at any moment.
If Travyon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown were white, Harvard research shows that they might have fared better without the "fears of criminality" and "the criminal face" associated with being black.
From cultural appropriation and media condemnation to the physical brutality and slaughter, Blackness in America, though mirrored globally, is unjustly marked by violence.
In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize. King argued that the "spiritual and moral lag" in modern man was due to what he later referred to as the "triple evils" of society: capitalism, militarism and racism.
June 21st marked the fiftieth anniversary of the senseless slaughter and lynching of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner during Freedom Summer in Mississippi.

NEW YORK (AP) — The testimony at a federal drug trafficking trial was chilling: Jurors heard how bribed baggage handlers at John F. Kennedy International Airport concealed cocaine on commercial jets inside sensitive wing assembly compartments.
Baggage handler at NYC airport gets life in prison
Saying the tactic risked the lives of passengers, a federal judge sentenced the convicted leader of the drug ring on Tuesday to life in prison.
Former American Airlines baggage handler Victor Bourne was found guilty last year of charges he used his behind-the-scenes access at New York City's busiest airport to orchestrate the smuggling of more than 330 pounds of cocaine from 2000 to 2009.
"You personally exacerbated one of the nation's greatest blights," U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis said at the sentencing in federal court in Brooklyn.
An unrepentant Bourne insisted investigators used "false evidence" to frame him.
"How can I accept responsibility for something that I don't have nothing to do with?" the 37-year-old native of Barbados asked.
The sentencing capped a federal investigation that has resulted in the convictions of 20 people — 19 of them airlines employees — the seizure of large amounts of cocaine and the forfeiture of $6.9 million. As leader of the crew, Bourne made millions of dollars that he laundered through business ventures in Brooklyn and Barbados, authorities said.
Bourne "turned American Airlines into his personal narcotics shuttle service, running a criminal organization that ignored passenger safety and security in pursuit of a greater goal — enriching Victor Bourne," U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a statement.

Gift ideas and tools
I've decided to put listings of things which I think are great gifts for quilters on my blog.
One thing which came to mind today, was Machine Quilting Unlimited. This is a great magazine which covers all sorts of machine quilting, from stationary domestic sewing machines, to ones on tracks (like a handi-quilter frame) to mid and longarm machines.

from the pic itself, i'm about to salivate! LOL i am eager to see the pic of the one that you made. i just hope you'll post it... good luck! ^_^ btw, you really like pineapple don't you?
05/11/2008 - 15:46
i have a 3rd eye! nah...just kidding. i remember seeing your previous comment about a pineapple upside down cake a long time ago and it seems you were so happy about it. my mom usually boast about her version of this cake and i was planning that i'll make her one someday while i was searching here about it, i came to see your positive comments... then again i saw your post yesterday and saw pineapple in one of the ingredients and that's how i came to a conclusion that maybe you really do like pineapples. pineapples are really good and as they say it's really high in the BIG-C! well good luck with the presentation next time! ciao! ^_^

I was looking for a Christmas cake and bumped into this one. But I must say, the pudding cake looks amazing and after reading the description it seems to be very easy. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I tried it today and it was great!
10/25/2009 - 14:09
A friend of mine made her own version of this using mandarin oranges instead of pineapple & all sugar free ingredients including the angel food cake she had found at the supermarket. It was absolutely delicious!! Very light, too. I'm going to give a try for Thanksgiving.

Exciting news in the aesthetic world! The FDA announced last week that it has approved Bellafill, an injectable filler, for the treatment of moderate to severe acne scars. Acne is the most common skin disorder in the U.S., affecting more than 40 million people, and this is big news for people with severe cases or lingering scars.
This new treatment is ideal for patients who have not responded to topical therapy, like Retin-A, which takes months and only improves very superficial scars; those who do not want to go through a series of five chemical peels; or those who have only a few scars.
If done properly, most patients will require only one or two treatments. And it's permanent.
Bellafill incorporates both collagen and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres. The collagen provides immediate volume and lift. Over time, it's absorbed by the body, while the microspheres remain as filler. In a study of the filler on patients with acne, 85 percent of 147 subjects rated their appearance as improved at six months, and 90 percent were satisfied at 12 months.
For the past eight years, the FDA-approved version of this injectable was called ArteFill, and it was officially cleared as a permanent filler for nasolabial folds, a.k.a. smile lines. BellaFill is still used for full face-rejuvenation, volume restoration, smile lines, and under eye correction for hollowness and dark circles.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing can erase years from your face and dramatically improve the appearance of acne scarring, wrinkles and pigment, but it is not a lunchtime procedure.
Fractional CO2 uses small columns of fractionated energy to ablate areas of damage. "Tiny wounds are made and the surrounding healthy skin helps with healing, making new collagen and elastin. It offers improvement in scarring, discoloration and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production.
The downtime with CO2 laser resurfacing can be lengthy, often 1 – 2 weeks. You'll need to follow specific skin-care instructions and beware that your skin will go through some major changes during the healing process. However, this procedure is great for those who want big results in just one procedure.
This month we are running a special on CO2 – Buy a Face treatment, Get a Neck treatment for 75% Off. Claim this offer here.
A less-aggressive treatment for acne scarring, with a lot less downtime is Microneedling. While you will need more treatments to see results, this non-invasive procedure is quickly becoming a client favorite here at Silk Touch.
This treatment uses multiple microscopic needles to penetrate the surface layers of skin – creating very small wound patterns to break old collagen chains and trigger the healing process to smooth the appearance of scars, wrinkles and stretch marks.
Most patients are very comfortable during the treatment. We use a topical numbing cream that remains on the skin for 30-40 minutes prior to the treatment. The feeling is similar to a rough exfoliation.
With Microneedling, patients will notice and immediate glow to their skin, but visible changes develop over the course of several weeks. Multiple treatments are needed for optimal results.

When you put unhealthy food into your mouth, any toxins that your internal system can't handle make their way out through your pores. While an individual's genetic makeup and hormonal balance play a big role in the persistence of acne, the following are common culprits that cause embarrassing blemishes: Dairy, Caffeine, Processed/Refined Foods, and Oily or Fried Foods.
Clean up your diet with more fruits, vegetables and water! Your skin will reap the benefits.
What you used as a teenager for acne is not what you want to be using for adult acne. Adult acne can be harder to treat, and can be easily irritated by the wrong products. It's important to meet with an aesthetician or your health care provider to get on a product regimen that is customized to your skin type, complexion and type of acne.
Every single person should be using a Retinol product. This all-star ingrediant helps with acne, plus fine lines and wrinkles. EVERY SINGLE PERSON should be on a retiniod. It's the most important thing next to wearing sunscreen.
Need help with your skin care routine? Request a complimentary Skin Care Evaluation for a customized plan.
For in-office treatments, a combination of peels, microdermabrasion and microneedling( for those with aggressive scarring), can help clear up problems for even the most persistent acne suffers.
Blue light therapy works by increasing the production of certain photo sensitive chemicals which are produced by the acne causing bacteria. These chemicals in turn neutralize the bacteria, allowing the skin to return to its normal state. A complement to microdermabrasion or other oily & acne-prone skin treatments, Blue Light targets bacteria that cause acne. The bacteria are destroyed by a thermal reaction.
Blue light therapy is an alternative for clients who do not respond well to antibiotic therapy or who develop problematic side effects. Blue Light also enhances collagen rejuvenation.
In combination with Blue light, this Red light treatment speeds up the reduction in acne lesions by reducing inflammation, thus helping the skin to heal naturally. Red light therapy can also restore pigment to Vitiligo patients.

When the problem isn't acne, but the scarring left behind – then these in-office treatments are the best solutions:
It never fails. It could be the night before a big date or that all-important board meeting where you have to give a presentation. You glance in the mirror and see an unpleasant sight: an intrusive whitehead. Although your first thought might be to pop it and move on with your day, avoid making a hasty choice and learn what's best for your skin.
For some reason, popping a pimple provides us with much satisfaction. While seeing an unwelcome nuisance disappear feels gratifying momentarily, consider the aftermath of your actions. Picking or popping a pimple can actually push the dirt and bacteria deeper into the skin, causing more swelling, redness and irritation. If your skin is prone to scars, popping a pimple can lead to long-term damage. Deep scars can even become permanent and require professional solutions like laser treatments.
Rest assured that most pimples will go away on their own in due time. If you want to speed up the process, there are several treatments and products that help clear up acne, reduce the appearance of scars and even out the complexion.
Acne Treatments at Silk Touch:
Read more about treatments here.
As with most treatments, acne treatments are very individualized at Silk Touch. During a consultation, our aestheticians will meet with you and discuss your individual concerns, following that we use VISIA skin analysis to determine the underlying cause of your acne. Using this information, we will write up our recommended treatment plan and product suggestions – all based on your condition, budget and skin type.
We are offering free consultations and Visia Skin analysis. If you are struggling with acne, give us a call or request an appointment online.
If you feel the need to pop and can't resist it, we recommend going to a professional for extractions – to avoid scarring and further trauma to the skin. But, if you absolutely must do it, make sure hands are washed, face is clean and you squeeze gently and stop before blood is drawn.
Acne is an inflammatory disease of the skin and is not related in any way to the foods consumed by an individual. Acne is most common and severe in the teenage years but can continue into adulthood. Acne leads to skin redness, pimples and blackheads. When uncontrolled, acne can eventually lead to scarring. All successful acne treatments must include steps to unclog the pores and to kill the bacterium that causes the inflammation.
Many OTC (over the counter) products promise to reduce acne but succeed only in causing further skin irritation and increase the chance of permanent scarring. Exposure to sunlight (tanning) may temporarily reduce the outward sign of acne, but symptoms will return after the skin begins to heal. In addition, sun exposure increases the chance of skin cancers, brown blotches and premature wrinkling and aging.
Because every patient's skin is different, Silk Touch Acne Care starts with a FREE PERSONAL CONSULTATION. This approach allows us to design a treatment regimen that will offer the best results for each patient.
The LED therapy (also called Blue Light Therapy) is a treatment that uses light to kill the acne causing - bacteria and stimulates cells to help with the healing process. The blue-light therapy also helps to reduce the inflammation surrounding acne lesions.
Blue light therapy can be used on its own, but is often combined with an agent that makes the skin more receptive to the light treatment. Several treatments are needed, usually spaced out over several weeks. LED therapy is most often recommended for patients with light to moderate acne or those who may not tolerate a more aggressive treatment.
We use a combination of Levulan and LED Light Therapy or Deep Pore Therapy to target hard to treat acne. A series of three to five treatments are usually performed at a period of two to four week intervals. The number of treatments recommended depends on the severity of acne. Some patients may notice results after the first treatment.
Photodynamic Acne Therapy can be used to treat moderate to severe cystic acne, and may provide results similar to those achieved with Accutane.
Before and After Photos:
Medical Microdermabrasion removes dead skin and helps prevent and dislodge follicle plugs. Microdermabrasion can be helpful in treating the type of acne that consists of blackheads, whiteheads, and skin-colored bumps. When used as part of an acne treatment program, microdermabrasion can significantly enhance the clearing of active pimples. For users with red bumps or deeper cysts, however, an alternate procedure (such as Photodynamic Acne Therapy) may be recommended.
Chemical peels can exfoliate the skin and minimize clogged pores and may also be beneficial in for scar reduction in long term acne patients. Silk Touch MedSpa offers a wide variety of chemical peels suited to various skin types.
Cosmeceuticals –or cosmetic pharmaceuticals-- include moisturizers, cleansers, peels and other topical products used to control acne. Silk Touch MedSpa carries a complete line of prescription and non-prescription cosmeceuticals, including topical retinoids.

On March 17, Politico carried the story of why it was that Mickey Kaus quit the Daily Caller.
The blogger Mickey Kaus has quit his job at The Daily Caller after the conservative site's editor-in-chief, Tucker Carlson, pulled a critical column about Fox News from the site, Kaus told the On Media blog on Tuesday.
"It's pretty simple," Kaus said in an interview, "I wrote a piece attacking Fox for not being the opposition on immigration and amnesty -- for filling up the airwaves with reports on ISIS and terrorism, and not fulfilling their responsibility of being the opposition on amnesty and immigration.... I posted it at 6:30 in the morning. When I got up, Tucker had taken it down. He said,...

Testifying before the United State House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee this week, former Speaker Newt Gingrich spoke again of American Betrayal.
This whole idiocy that you can't talk honestly about the nature of the people who are trying to kill you strikes me as utterly irrational. And, by the way, we had exactly the same experience in the Forties and early Fifties with the Soviets -- and you can read Diana West's American Betrayal -- and it is breathtaking how hard we worked to hide from the degree of Soviet penetration because it shook...

Newsmax has just announced its 2015 list of the Top Fifty Conservative Blogs and, whaddya know, this very blog comes in as Jackie Robinson -- #42.
Newsmax writes:
Diana West - One of the most prominent of a new breed of polemicists for an assertive and morally confident U.S. foreign policy, the "American Betrayal" author recently used controversy over GOP senators writing to Iran's rulers to warn of a time when congressional Democrats and the press "willingly lock shields around a king-like executive branch." She suggested that the letter should be readdressed "to the Obama administration and members of the U.S. media." Quoting the letter to Tehran, she argued, "They don't 'fully understand our constitutional system,' either!"...

What turned out to be one of Stan Evans' final contributions to the the truth of the record was an article he wrote last year called "McCarthyism by the Numbers." This "sampler," as Stan called it, contains a table of 50 McCarthy suspects named by McCarthy, his aides, or in his committee hearings who proved to be Communists, Soviet agents or who took the Fifth Amendment when asked about such matters. In sum, this concise article and table is the quickee way to refute the Big Lie that Sen. Joseph McCarthy never spotted a single Communist or Soviet agent -- or identitied, as the Learned Professors keep repeating, "only a few."...

Soviet GRU officer and Acting UN Secretary General Alger Hiss of the US State Department presiding over the opening of the United Nations in San Francisco, 1945. Next to him sits is his real boss, Soviet foreign minister Molotov.
There are crises, and there are what I am going to call "root crises."
Crises are what we read about in the headlines: Obama's latest post-Constitutional/dictatorial act; the most recent episode in population replacement; the next terrifying Supreme Court decision; the predictable disaster of Iranian nuclear negotiations, or continued American military presence in Afghanistan; the looming threat of the United Nations empowered by an "internationalist" US president.
"Root crises," however, don't make headlines, are never addressed, and are rarely articulated, especially by elected officials and others with lawful authority or even media platforms....

"Excellent value for money"
What do you expect for €75 a night for 4? probably not a lot!! But we were really impressed with Pablo apartment, well equipped with all mod cons, clean, cool, central, quiet, 1 minute from the station and 5 mins from the beach, has to be the bargain of the year so far.............Megz, Sheffield
