Factors promoting the emergence of sharp phylogeographic breaks include restricted dispersal, habitat discontinuity, physical barriers, disruptive selection, mating incompatibility, genetic surfing and secondary contact. Disentangling the role of each in any particular system can be difficult, especially when species are evenly distributed across transition zones and dispersal barriers are not evident. The estuarine seaweed Fucus ceranoides provides a good example of highly differentiated populations along its most persistent distributional range at the present rear edge of the species distribution, in NW Iberia. Intrinsic dispersal restrictions are obvious in this species, but have not prevented F. ceranoides from vastly expanding its range northwards following the last glaciation, implying that additional factors are responsible for the lack of connectivity between neighbouring southern populations. In this study we analyze 22 consecutive populations of F. ceranoides along NW Iberia to investigate the processes generating and maintaining the observed high levels of regional genetic divergence.
Variation at seven microsatellite loci and at mtDNA spacer sequences was concordant in revealing that Iberian F. ceranoides is composed of three divergent genetic clusters displaying nearly disjunct geographical distributions. Structure and AFC analyses detected two populations with an admixed nuclear background. Haplotypic diversity was high in the W sector and very low in the N sector. Within each genetic cluster, population structure was also pervasive, although shallower.
The deep divergence between sectors coupled with the lack of support for a role of oceanographic barriers in defining the location of breaks suggested 1) that the parapatric genetic sectors result from the regional reassembly of formerly vicariant sub-populations, and 2) that the genetic discontinuities at secondary contact zones (and elsewhere) are maintained despite normal migration rates. We conclude that colonization and immigration, as sources of gene-flow, have very different genetic effects. Migration between established populations is effectively too low to prevent their differentiation by drift or to smooth historical differences inherited from the colonization process. F. ceranoides, but possibly low-dispersal species in general, appear to be unified to a large extent by historical, non-equilibrium processes of extinction and colonization, rather than by contemporary patterns of gene flow.

We stayed at this hotel twice and the first time I mentioned that our phone did not work. It wouldn't even work to call another room in the hotel. It was mentioned to the staff and was hoping it would be fixed the second time but it was not. All and all it was a very nice hotel, food was good and staff very helpful. We would stay there again.

CES is one of those rare times when we get to glimpse into the crystal ball of future technology and start dreaming about all the cool things we'll be able to do in the office of the future. From tablets that can withstand a fall from a great height to the future of virtual reality and technology we'll implant under our skin, here's our look at three big things that have come out of CES 2014.
The Pocket Office Gets Tough
Panasonic's Toughpad FZ-M1 is a 7" tablet that does exactly what it says on the tin: it's designed for on-the-go businesspeople who need a robust work tablet (it runs Windows 8.1 Pro) and a robust piece of hardware (it's designed to withstand a drop from 5' or an accidental dunk in a puddle). Panasonic's Product Development Manager Dan Diliberti told media outlet TechRadar that businesses are their target customer, not consumers. The first models will go on sale in February.
Closing the Rift
Oculus Rift has gone from Kickstarter darling to real product, with the next iteration playable at CES and expected to become commercially available later this year. Although primarily designed as a gaming device, it will only be a matter of time before the community will open up the Oculus Rift to additional uses. Imagine giving a sales presentation where your client could put on an Oculus Rift and take a virtual reality tour of a product or facility. What was science fiction in the early 1990s is now commercial fact.
Intel Inside
Intel dropped two pieces of interesting news at CES. First, its chips will be free of conflict minerals, according to a talk made by CEO Brian Krzanich. The move to responsible manufacturing is a welcome one for the tech industry. Additionally, Intel's head of perceptual computing, Mooly Eden, noted that implantable technology is an inevitability. As a proof point, Eden suggested the ability to unlock your car with a tiny chip embedded in your thumb. From truly secure data storage to an ID card you can never lose, the business implications could be huge.
A Look Back
Other big features of CES include bendy TVs and 60 megapixel cameras. What's going to catch on and what isn't? For a look back at CES' past, Paleofuture has an excellent roundup of some previous years' announcements. Marvel at the cell phone that weighs the same as the hamburger. See Bill Gates' smartwatch—from 2003. Or Atari's (never-released) video game that read the player's mind.
What's Your Favorite?
Did you spot a game changer for your business at this year's CES? Is it a rugged pocket office, or a sales presentation that takes your customers inside the product—or something totally different? Let us know in the comments how these inventions could change how you do business.

Exchange 2013 Logs Not Flushed
Created: 12 Mar 2014 | 1 comment
BE 2010 R3 on server 2008. We have the exchange license installed and backing up our new exchange server. However, when i look at the exchange server log files, they are not flushed/removed. My understanding is, BE will committ the logs and delete those that are committed. Is this correct?
The full backup is using full DB and logs backup (flush logs) and the incremental back is using incremental logs backup (flush logs). But the 36GB of log files remain. What are we missing?

AP Exclusive: Shepard letter being auctioned
CONCORD, N.H. Alan Shepard wrote his parents 52 years ago, telling them about the possibility that he could be asked to pilot America's first mission into space.
But before letting them in on the big news, he offered pleasantries and discussed how much he liked his renovated house and was looking forward to an upcoming wedding.
"Thanks so much for your recent note, Daddy," Shepard started the letter that's up for auction next month.
Shepard, who in 1961 became the first American in space, was an experienced Navy test pilot when he wrote the Jan. 29, 1959, letter to "Mother and Daddy." He began talking about the space program in the fourth paragraph, and stuck to the topic for the rest of the three-page letter.
RR Auction of Amherst, N.H., told The Associated Press the rare handwritten letter written in ink is being auctioned next month by a California collector who bought it five years ago. The company expects it to sell for as much as $80,000.
Shepard, who was born in Derry, N.H., said early in the letter how much he was enjoying a new addition to his house in Virginia Beach, Va., and how he had room for guests, "so come on down!"
He added that he was planning to attend a wedding in April before telling his parents he was driving to Washington that afternoon for a briefing and for consideration to be part of the "Man in Space" program.
"Basically, 100 of the country's top pilots have been selected to go to Washington to be briefed on the plans for putting a man in space some time during 1961," Shepard wrote. "We are being given a chance to volunteer for or reject the opportunity after the briefing."
He wrote that volunteers would go through a "rigorous elimination process until a handful are selected." He said the program and space travel was a fascinating subject that he was proud to be associated with.
"I assure you that I will analyze the entire picture based on my past flight experience. I intend to do it very carefully of course - and will most certainly volunteer. There is no reason for expression of fear but merely gratitude to be considered for this very important contribution to science and the country," he wrote.
Seven astronauts were chosen that April for the Mercury program: Shepard, Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra and Deke Slayton.
Shepard rode in Freedom 7 in a rocket-powered suborbital flight, on May 5, 1961, to become the first American in space. The flight reached an altitude of 116 miles.
In 1971, Shepard led the Apollo XIV mission to the moon. He was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and received two NASA Distinguished Service Medals among numerous other awards. He died in 1998.
His letter is one of a number of items on space and aviation being auctioned on the Internet. The auction is from Sept. 15-22 and will be held through RR Auction's website: http://www.rrauction.com .

If only these awesome companions were included in the Monster Mod itself... I have too many mods installed as it is and would have to delete other mods to add each of these monster mod companions. Maybe one day we can see these guys included with the v13 of Monster Mod?
Doesn't look like a Xivilai to me at all. It's cool looking but I'm actually a fan of the Xivilai from Oblivion, so I wouldn't go for this.
Agreed, it's excellent, but nothing like a Xivilai. If anything it looks like the devil in Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny
too ***** for me, smaller horns whould be better
Any chance of making the original blue one?
It doesn't work for me :( I looked in the Riverwood "Sleeping Giant" in but he isn't there and I looked in the SCK but also can't find it in there :(
i have the same problem once...
One question is ur skyrim in latest version?
If not please update it will work in the newest version
can u tell me how to get this companion i mean where to find him in game???

SOLD - FOR SALE: a pair of Altec 1204B in perfect working order!
For sale a rare pair of Altec 1204B speakers.
These huge speakers are loaded by two Altec 421 drivers, two altec 511b horns and altec 808-8a 1" drivers. all drivers are in perfect shape.
These speakers sound very well! very musical and dynamic. cabinets are overall in good condition. the horns have to be repainted.
It could be also a good idea to modify the crossovers. the original capacitors and inductors seems to be really cheap (as the altec 19 crossover and all crossovers of this period)
A listening is welcome. An interesting alternative to Altec 19 for a fraction of the price...
thanks for you interest.

ClassicsOnline Home » MUSIC FOR SHAKESPEARE'S THEATRE > Review List
Music played an important role in the Renaissance theatre and Shakespeare brought new subtlety to its use. In a theatre without lights and sets, it fell to music to underline mood, whether for magic, comedy, feasting or pathos. Here are thirty or so settings from Shakespeare's lifetime by Morley, Johnson, Dowland, Byrd, Ferrabosco and others, including lyrics set to ballad tunes that would have been very familiar to the actors in his company.

Kid Convinced He Bought $50,000 Car On eBay
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Don't play with the iPad if Mom tells you not to, especially if Mom's a prankster. Eight-year-old Kenyon was looking at a car on eBay. Mom told him he accidentally bought it for $50,000.
KENYON: Is that true? Did I?
MOM: I'm afraid so.
GREENE: She posted his reaction on YouTube.
KENYON: It was a Mustang. I didn't mean to buy it.
GREENE: Mom quickly came clean and said her family laughs with and sometimes at each other. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Leo Igwe—The Constant Fight Against Irrationality
By KYLIE STURGESS - CSI
Added: Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:05:59 UTC
At the World Skeptics Congress in Berlin, a prominent poster display by Leo Igwe featured graphic accounts of the trials that he and many of his supporters have faced in Africa—their work to oppose the persecution and killing of children and minorities, and the failures on the part of law enforcement and religious leaders to challenge such atrocities. During the closing "Houdini Séance" on the last day of the convention, Leo stood up during the question and answer session to personally thank James Randi for being such an inspiration in the pursuit of justice in the name of skepticism and rationality. For many of us, Leo Igwe is similarly inspirational.
Leo Igwe was the Western and Southern African representative to IHEU, the International Humanist and Ethical Union. He has worked to challenge a variety of human rights violations, including anti-gay hate, sorcery, witchcraft, ritual killing, human sacrifice, "untouchability," caste discrimination, "child witch" superstition, and anti-blasphemy laws. He is presently enrolled in a three-year research programme on "Witchcraft accusations in Africa" at the University of Bayreuth, in Germany.
Leo Igwe: I always find skepticism fascinating and for me, I think that's where I belong intellectually, that's where I belong socially. I'm just here because I'm happy being here.
Kylie Sturgess: You're now going to be studying in Germany, I've heard, rather than working in the field as you've done in the past?
Igwe: Yes, I'm doing a research program here on witchcraft accusation in Africa, and I took on the program because it also resonates with skepticism and rationality.
Sturgess: I've been admiring your poster display at the convention, which I think has been getting a lot of attention. Can you tell us about that?
Igwe: Well, the posters at the Berlin Congress are just all about the challenges we're facing in Africa. They're enormous. A lot of work has been done in Europe, in Australia, in America, but not much has been done in Africa. So the posters are there to let international participants understand the challenges we are facing in the area of witchcraft accusation.
They're about the role churches are playing, where there are the witch doctors; pastors are the modernday, if I can use that word, witch doctors in Africa. I look at the part that Islam and Christianity are playing—they reinforce superstitions in the modern day, and are not addressing them. Incidentally, Christianity, maybe because it was brought by Europeans, it's considered to be civilized. At the end of it all, I see them as another form of superstition, and it is not helping our efforts to promote reason, science, and critical thinking in Africa.
We also have, of course, traditional superstitious beliefs that have nothing to do with Christianity. They have a lot to do in terms of being also on the same irrational platform, like ritual killinghuman sacrifice—which many people don't want to talk about—but that's exactly what we're facing. People honestly think there are agents somewhere who can be appeased by sacrifices—the killing of something, an animal or even a person. We also have the problem of persecution of albinos, particularly in East Africa. We have persecution of children, sacrifices of children in Uganda, Nigeria, and Swaziland, and all of that. But the fact there is that there are no rational voices; even though there are people who are rationally minded, they are not speaking out. This is because sometimes they are afraid—maybe, they might think there could be some supernatural backfiring or retribution—they just don't want to tamper with those things.
That is why I say a skeptic conference is a safe space: where we can speak out, where friends will understand the kinds of challenges we are facing, and where we can also mobilize and see what we can do to address these problems.

Poll: Hillary and Rudy tied in Fl
From a May 11-13 Kitchens Group poll of 600 likely Florida voters (moe +/- 4%): Rudy Giuliani 42 percent, Hillary Clinton 40 percent. The Democratic pollster added the questions to another statewide poll he was conducting and also matched up Fred Thompson and Al Gore: Gore 45%, Thompson 37%."The gender gap is the most telling part of this poll," explained Jim Kitchens, founder of The Kitchens Group. "Democratic women are voting for their party's nominee – whether it's Clinton or Gore. However, Gore receives nine percent more of the Democratic men's vote than Clinton."

Obama spending Christmas Day with family in Hawaii
More News from Associated Press
KAILUA, Hawaii — President Barack Obama is spending Christmas Day with his family at a rented vacation home in his native Hawaii.
White House officials have not released the details of all the first family's Christmas Day activities. On Tuesday morning, Obama traveled from the suburban Honolulu home to a Marine Corps base for a workout.
The Obama family flew to Hawaii from Washington on Friday night. White House officials have not announced when the president is expected to return to Washington.
In the past, Obama has spent 10 to 14 days in Hawaii at Christmastime. This year, he's expected to curtail his holiday to return to budget negotiations with lawmakers dealing with efforts to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff" of tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to take effect next month.

The government, on Monday, set up a seven-member panel under the chairmanship of Parthasarathi Shome to revisit tax laws and recommend measures for putting in place a stable and non-adversarial tax administration.
Following Cabinet approval earlier this month, the setting up of the tax panel with a tenure of 18 months marks compliance of Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's budget proposal this fiscal "to set up a Tax Administration Reform Commission (TARC) to review the application of tax policies and tax laws and submit periodic reports that can be implemented to strengthen the capacity of our tax system."
Apart from Dr. Shome as Chairman in the rank of Minister of State, the TARC, with two full-time members — Y. G. Parande and Sunita Kaila — and four part-time members — M. K. Zutshi, S. S. N. Moorthy, M. R. Diwakar and S. Mahalingam — is expected to suggest various measures, including appropriate organisational structure for tax governance.
As per the terms of reference of the TARC numbering over a dozen outlined in an official statement here, some of the major tasks entrusted to the Commission are to review the existing mechanism of dispute resolution covering time and compliance cost and recommend measures for strengthening them for both domestic and international taxation.
Besides reviewing the existing mechanism and suggesting measures for deepening and widening the base of tax and taxpayers, the Commission will recommend a system to enforce better tax compliance — by size, segment and nature of taxes and taxpayers, that should cover methods to encourage voluntary tax compliance.
The TARC will also recommend measures for strengthening the database and inter-agency information sharing, not only between the Central Board of Direct Taxes and the Central Board of Excise and Customs but also with the banking and financial sector and other agencies such as Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB), Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and Enforcement Directorate to ensure better tax compliance through sharing of such data.
Keywords: Parthasarathi Shome, Tax Administration Reform Commission, Tax-governance reforms, P. Chidambaram

Iran's hardliners maintained their political upper hand after Friday's parliamentary poll, according to election results announced this weekend. This year's elections come less than one week before Norouz, the Persian new year holiday seen as a fresh start by most Iranians.
In early vote counts religious conservatives known as "principalists" in the Iranian political system made a strong showing. One count showed conservatives with 70 percent of parliaments seats, the widely expected outcome after more than 1500 pro-reform candidates were banned from running final tallies to be out this week after run-off votes in some constituencies.
"They disqualified most of the important reformists, so of course the conservatives are doing well," said Barbara Slavin, an Iran expert covering the elections for the U.S. Institute of Peace.
"The conservatives will dominate this parliament, as they did the last ... the question is, what kind of conservatives? Will they be conservative supporters of Ahmedinejad? Or will they be closer to other conservative figures, such as Ali Larijani, the former nuclear negotiator or [Tehran Mayor] Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf? These guys see themselves as more pragmatic, better managers, and they have distaste for Ahmedinejad."
Elections have always been part of the Islamic Republic, with one key caveat: ruling religious clerics can veto any candidate considered unfit for office. Iran's pro-reform party, aligned with former President Mohammad Khatami, complained that candidates were barred from running for more than half of all seats. After Friday's poll reformists won roughly 20 percent of spots, according to an early government count -- a clear minority, but one that approaches the 50 seat benchmark seen as success for reformists after mass disqualifications.
Friday's election was widely seen as a referendum on President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad before he runs for reelection in 2009. Conservatives are split between those who support Ahmedinejad and those who disagree with his controversial economic and foreign affairs policies.
Even with the disqualification and high-level oversight Iran considers itself an Islamic democracy. Officials announced a 65 percent turnout – hailed as a victory for an Islamic government that was urging citizens to vote. Iranian leaders see turnout as a key indicator of public support for the Islamic Republic. Voting hours were extened to 11 pm to give Iranians more to time to reach the polls.
"It's been fascinating to see the way in which they make voting to be a test of patriotism in this country ... they see it as a kind of show of support for the regime, so if people don't come out that means they don't support the regime," Slavin observed.
Many of those who did saw it as their religious and patriotic duty, following Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's message that it was the "politico-religious obligation" of every Iranian to go to the polls.
"I don't support any particular political group. I support what the Supreme Leader says. Those who were disqualified showed too much Western thinking." said 35-year-old Fatima, who voted in Ahmedinejad's home neighborhood of Narmak in Eastern Tehran. She said she voted as an act of resistance against Iran's enemies, namely Israel and the West.
"People who say there is no freedom in Iran should see that women and young people are coming to the polling station to cast their ballot."

Basketball strategy of 'The Klopper' sound as ever
With the recent success of San Diego State, it's easy to forget we've had some outstanding basketball coaches in this area, with the likes of Kloppenburg, George Ziegenfuss, Morris Gross and Charlie Hampton. They were master basketball coaches in what never was considered a basketball town until the Aztecs' Steve Fisher turned it up about a thousand notches.
Men such as Kloppenburg coached the game the way it was meant to be played. Some college coaches still are capable of teaching it the right way. Fisher, if you've paid attention, even when he had the Fab Five at Michigan, always has stressed defense. When people think of Tarkanian at UNLV, they see the high-scoring Runnin' Rebels, but his best teams — even when he was at Long Beach State — played marvelous defense.
Kloppenburg doesn't care much for the way the game to which he basically devoted his life is being played today.
"The NBA was exciting, but more of a business; you don't get close to the players," he says. "The most fun I had was at Cal Western because of the relationship with the players. I don't like the pro game now. It's too individual, everything's one on one, and major college ball is moving in that direction. I like the women's game because they're really disciplined.
"But this is amazing after 50 years, all the memories. You remember the last shot, the last point."
It's good to remember Bob Kloppenburg, a coach whose points still make too much sense.

ROCKINGHAM — When Richmond Pines Country Club shuttered its doors in 2011, the Richmond Senior boys golf team lost the only practice facility in the county.
Now that Richmond Pines re-opened last summer, Richmond coach Jason Warren believes it will help his squad as it prepares for the upcoming season. Warren said with a driving range, practice putting green and chipping green at Richmond Pines, it has allowed him to schedule structured practices.
"It's nice to have a home course," Warren said. "It's very nice to have full facilities. The people at Richmond Pines have been great."
Richmond was slated to open its season Monday with a scrimmage against the other Southeastern Conference members at Pinehurst No. 6. But the latest storm system forced officials to canceled the event and now the Raiders will head to Raeford for their regular season opener at Bayonet at Puppy Creek.
"I'm expecting good things this year," Warren said. "We have been out here for three weeks and we have been hitting it good. I have also seen a lot of improvement in their short game. I believe we can give anyone a run for their money in the conference. I expect us to be in the top three in the conference and advance to regionals."
This season's team consists of two seniors, four juniors, four sophomores and two freshmen. Even though it doesn't appear on paper the Raiders have a lot of experience on paper, Warren said that isn't true. The majority of his juniors have been competing since their freshmen year. In addition, one of his top sophomores — Matt Howard — was a stroke away from advancing to the state tournament last year.
Warren added all of this experience will benefit the younger players as Richmond competes with the likes of Pinecrest and Purnell Swett in the SEC.
"With this being my first year as coach, it is nice having players like Drew Norton and Matt Howard around," Warren said. "They have been around and can step to help other players. They can see things I don't see and help them on the putting green or with their swing."
Richmond's lone home match of the season is scheduled for 2 p.m. April 28.

Arthur Moss monitors his energy usage pretty closely.
So when his electricity bill jumped up hundreds of dollars in recent months, he knew something was wrong.
Moss stood before Maiden's Town Council last month and asked leaders for some type of explanation, and ultimately help, in figuring out why the bill was so high.
Moss said he approached the town before with the same concerns, but nothing was accomplished.
Ultimately, Maiden leaders said they would request an energy audit for Moss's home, a service provided by the town's energy provider ElectriCities.
Like all cities and towns, Maiden occasionally has citizens come forward with questions or issues about their electricity bills.

Municipal leaders throughout Catawba County say there are ways to keep your electricity bill low without the hassle and costly alternatives that an energy audit may suggest.

To read more of this story, pick up the weekend edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.

Come Onam, Kerala is engulfed by a no-holds-barred festive spirit. With the dawn of the month of Chingam, the festive mood has already ushered in and will only escalate as the D-day approaches.
Experience of the past years has shown that festivities have exceeded and extended with every passing year. A significant component through which the festive spirit gets displayed is definitely shopping. The synonymity of Onam and shopping has become so high in recent years that shops and dealers make available a 'discount', an 'offer' or a 'scheme' with every conceivable product. Shops work overtime and on Sundays as well to cater to this bloated shopping fervour.
Onam is the time when families set aside a significant portion of their earnings for gifting. There is a heightened demand for gifts especially since the festival is the preferred time for Keralite families living outside the State and country to visit their home turf. Clothes rank high on the list of Onam gifts in keeping the custom of wearing 'Onakodi' or new clothes on the Onam day.
The consumerist nature of the marketplace ensures that there is enough choice available for every segment of consumers. There are options aplenty available for lower, middle and high income groups. While boutiques and designer outlets cater to the niche high-end customer, there is equal number of shops catering to the other categories. Besides making available wide and splendid variety, shopkeepers also hire additional hands to help cope with the rush. But as many a shop owner aver, it is near to impossible to satiate the varying demands of the buyer, especially during the Onam season.
The enticing offers made available by brands and dealers of electronic and white goods during the festival has meant that Onam is seen as the best time to make these purchases. The offers are so attractive that families are often found deferring purchases of such items till the Onam season. Some common incentives are slashed prices, freebies and exchange schemes. Exchange schemes especially find favour with people who are looking to discard their old models and get technologically updated ones. Colourful banners with information on product offers along with Onam greetings have come up in all major white goods dealers' in the city.
Onam is also a time of vacation for students and the employed. To cash in on this vacation mood, tour operators have devised special Onam packages for those who wish to travel and explore during their time off. Tour packages are available for those looking forward to celebrating their Onam in popular hill stations as well as in exotic foreign locales.
Onam being the flag-ship State sponsored cultural event of all, exquisite pieces of art and highly rated cultural masterpieces get portrayed as part of the festivities. Art forms associated with Onam like Pulikali or Kuduvakali, Kummattikali, Kaikotti Kali or Thiruvathirakali and Thumbi Thullal are a special draw with tourists, especially foreigners. For the benefit of foreign tourists are available tailor-made packages that will help them enjoy Kerala culture at its majestic best.


text: I have been training in martial arts for over thirty years and what I saw tonight was a steaming pile of bullshit. Anderson Silva who I have had complete respect for since he bursted into the scene with his skillfull defeat of Chris Leben, clowned around and goofed on Cote for the first two rounds, completely out of character for Silva and then in round three Cote blows his own knee out which could happen to anybody. I thought it was fucked up that Silva although he coud have ended this fight at anytime ,continued to goof around walking and picking his shots at random, let Cote get to round three and ultimatley injure himself. Silva has allways displayed class and respect for his opponents however in this case he was show-boating and trying to put on a display of his superior skills. That is not what a worldclass athlete should do, he should have went out and fought to win from the beginning,not dance and walk to humilliate his opponate, Silva may be the pound for pound best fighter in MMA but he has lost a fan here.

Good stuff, seems to have helped calm my husbands rosacea down.
Quick service and good prices
fast delivery, quick to order.
Excellent service as always!
Creamy and feels soothing when used. Keeps redness at bay though the Riche variety is more moisturising (my mistake for not noticing when ordering). Excellent product.
This moisturizer is supposed to decrease the appearance of redness, and although I have been using it daily for a week I can't see much of a difference. However it seems soothing on the skin, and it is fragrance free which is a plus.
Same as other product. Big waste if money.
Very good daily moisterizer & does not cause any irritation on sensative facial skin.
For me this product just didn't work - it completely dried my skin out and I broke out after a couple of days using it.
I recommend feel unique all the time, excellent service.
Easy to order, quick delivery, very well packaged. Definitely recommend.
