Reports Stateside suggest that Microsoft is looking to boost the Xbox's entertainment credentials by offering cheap consoles if users sign-up for Xbox LIVE Gold for two-years.
Microsoft is reportedly looking to entice more people to sign on to its all-encompassing Xbox Live entertainment platform by subsidising cheap Xbox 360 consoles and Kinect peripherals.
Reports in the United States say Microsoft is working on a deal, akin to signing a mobile phone contract in exchange for a large discount on a handset.
If new buyers are willing to sign up for a two year Xbox LIVE Gold subscription, which offers access to online gaming as well as a host of media on-demand platforms like Sky Go, LOVEFiLM, Netflix 4oD and more, they could get a dramatically reduced console.
The prices quoted in the CBS.com report suggest Microsoft would offer the console and Kinect bundle for just $99 ($200 off the RRP) in exchange for the two-year sign-up at $15 a month. The overall savings would only be around $40 but if users were planning on signing up for Xbox LIVE anyway, it represents a huge saving.
It's difficult to translate those figures into the UK. The direct exchange rate would suggest the console would cost just £60, but we know better than to expect US goods to be available at the same price on UK shores. Perhaps if Microsoft decided to launch the scheme in Blighty we'd get the bundle for £100, but that's pure speculation.
It's easy to see why Microsoft might be considering this move. It has spent the last year repositioning the console as a multimedia portal, with most key networks on both sides of the Atlantic housing apps within the device. However, for the larger part, users need to be Xbox LIVE Gold members to access these apps. This deal would get more consoles into more homes, with built-in XBL subscriptions.
The company, as yet, has refused to comment on the speculation.

The invention relates to an interface circuit for connecting a digital equipment (2) for sending and receiving data to a time multiplex link (3). The connection interface circuit is provided with a bit send terminal (3E1) and a bit receive terminal (3R1) for connection to the corresponding wires (3E, 3R) of a time multiplex link (3) in parallel with other interface circuits (1 or 8) of equipments for transmitting and receiving digital data (2) or speech signals (4).

The interface circuit further includes transmit and receive register groups as well as a buffer register group disposed between the transmit and receive registers and a microprocessor of the digital equipment. Also included is a control arrangement for simultaneously driving the transmit and receive registers in connection with the synchronization arrangement, and for driving the buffer registers under the control of the microprocessor of the digital equipment.
1. An interface circuit for connecting a digital data transceiving equipment to a time-division multiplex link, in parallel with other equipment transceiving bytes of data or digitized speech signals under the control of a clock module governing byte transmission and reception by means of (i) common clock signals and (ii) individual synchronization signals associated with the different time slots available during each frame of transmission on the time-division multiplex link, wherein said interface circuit is directly connected to said time-division multiplex link through a bit transmission terminal and a bit reception terminal and includes (i) a synchronization arangement for receiving the individual synchronization signals for the interface circuit and the clock signal from the clock module associated with said time-division multiplex link and (ii) a microprocessor served by a link bus over which the data to be transmitted and received are interchanged, characterized in that said interface circuit further includes: three groups of registers, including a first group for transmission connected to the transmission terminal of the interface circuit, a second group for reception connected to the reception terminal of the interface circit and a group of buffer registers inserted between the digital data transceiving equipment and said first and second groups of registers; and a control arrangement for simultaneously driving the reception and tranmission of said three groups of registers in connection said said synchronization arrangement and for driving the gorup of buffer registers under the control of the microprocessor of the digital equipment served thereby.
2. A connection interface circuit according to claim 1, characterized in that the first and second groups of registers (13, 14) identically include an intermediate register (18 or 19) which is connected firstly in parallel on the time-division multiplex link (3) either to receive or to send messages made up of bytes, and secondly to a transfer bus (25 or 26) respectively connecting the intermediate receive register (19) to specialized auxiliary receive registers (34, 38, 39, 40) for receiving data bytes, status bytes or control bytes, received over the time-division multiplex link (3), and the intermediate send register (18) to specialized auxiliary registers (27, 32) for sending bytes, in particular data bytes or signalling bytes to be sent over the time link, in such a manner as to store said bytes for different periods.
3. A connection interface circuit according to claim 2, characterized in that the control arrangement (16) includes a two-part send and receive driver (23, 24) controlling access to the intermediate send and receive registers (18, 19), writing to the specialized receive registers and reading from the specialized transmit registers, and also an activation unit (33) controlled by the digital equipment (2) being served and controlling access to the group of buffer registers (15), writing to the specialized send registers and reading from the specialized receive registers, on the basis of information provided by the receive driver (24) to the digital equipment via a signalling unit (41).
4. A connection interface circuit according to claim 3, characterized in that it includes at least one auxiliary or mode register (31) for storing information specific to transmission, which information defines the control bytes to be transmitted for use by the send driver (23) of the control arrangement (16) in order to adapt the messages sent to the requirements expressed either by the microprocessor (5) of the digital equipment (2) being served, or else via the multiplex link (3).
5. A connection interface circuit according to claim 3, characterized in that the auxiliary send registers include at least one stuffing register (32) for storing repetitive signalling bytes under the control of the send driver (23) for cyclically sending them over the multiplex link (3) via the intermediate send register (18) and under the control of the control arrangement (16).
The present invention relates to an interface circuit for interconnecting a time multiplex link and a digital equipment comprising a data transmitter/receiver whicih is at least partially under its own control. The digital equipment may, for example, be a telephone set having a display, or a processor, or a controller for a multiservice subscriber.
The time multiplex link is preferably a two-way link designed to transmit data and/or speech signals that have been conventionally digitized on a byte-by-byte basis.
One such multiplex link under the control of a clock moduIe constitutes, for example, a local communication network for data and/or speech signals between equipments connected thereto. Alternatively, it may be connected to a switching node in a network enabling equipments served by other multiplex links to be reached.
In a known manner, telephone sets are connected to such two-way multiplex links by converting interface circuits of the codec or cofidec type, each of which serves one or more telephone sets both for transmission and for reception.
The analog signals provided by the microphone of a telephone set are converted by the converting interface circuit serving that set into bytes each of which corresponds to one speech sample. These bytes are transmitted one-by-one over the same time slot of a time multiplex link during successive frames under the control of the clock arrangement which governs the link. This clock arrangement provides, in particular, a clock signal which is used by the converter circuit for its own internal operation, together with a synchronization signal which controls byte transmission.
The codec or cofidec type converter circuit serving a telephone set also receives a second synchronization signal from the clock arrangement in order to trigger taking account of bytes which are transmitted to the telephone set in question over a given time slot during successive frames, with the bytes which are taken into account then being converted into signals which can be used by the transducer in the telephone set being served.
Since codec or cofidec converter circuits are standardized for a given type of coding (A-law or U-law) and for a selected basic time multiplex link (24, or 30/32 time slots), it is possible to connect codec or cofidec circuits of the same standard to a corresponding time multiplex link simply by connecting them in parallel, so long as the number of time slots required by these circuits corresponds to the number of time slots available on the link.
However, connecting digital equipment which transmits/receives data to a time ultiplex link conventionally requires the addition of a data interchange interface for taking account of differences in clocks, data rates, and/or formats which exist between the digital equipment and the time multiplex link, in order to make them compatible with each other.
In particular, digital equipment designed to transmit or receive digital data generally includes control logic based on a microprocessor, which is at least partially dedicated to such control. The exchange and/or processing of data by digital equipment often makes use of messages which may be variable in format and/or longer than the single byte which is used as the standard time slot format in two-way time multiplex links of the telephone type.
Consequently, the data interfaces associated with such equipments for connecting them to time multiplex links are generally designed on a case-by-case basis. They are not directly reusable, which makes them expensive and inconvenient insofar as they cannot be mass produced and they lead to an increase in the number of different circuits that need to be stored as spare parts.
The present invention thus provides an interface circuit for connecting a digital equipment, at least partially under its own control, for transmitting and receiving digital data to a two-way time multiplex link suitable for transmitting, in byte form, digital data or speech signals converted into a suitable binary form by specialized interface circuits connected in parallel to the time muItiplex link, under the control of a clock module governing byte transmission and receptio by means of clock signals and synchronization signals which are associated with the different time slots available during each frame of the time multiplex link.
According to a characteristic of the invention, said connection interface circuit being provided with a bit transmission terminal and a bit reception terminal enabling it to be connected to the corresponding wires of the time multiplex link in parallel with other interface circuits of equipments for transmitting and receiving digital data or speech signals, includes a synchronization arrangement comprising firstly a local clock generator suitable for receiving from the clook module both a common clock signal and a link bit rate controlling clock signal whose frequency is equal to the frequency of the common clock signal or to a submultiple thereof, and secondly two time slot selection units, one for transmission and the other for reception suitable for receiving the corresponding synchronization signals, in such a manner as to obtain a connection between the connection interface circuit and the time multiplex link which is identical to the connection provided for the interface circuits for converting speech signals, and for automatically adapting to the bit rate capacity provided by the selected time multiplex link.
The invention, its characteristics and its advantages are described in the following description with reference to the figures listed below, in which:
FIG. 1 is a diagram of a connection interface in accordance with the invention, in its environment which is constituted by a two-way time multiplex link to which it is connected and by other circuits which are served by or associated with the connection.
FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C constitute a detailed circuit diagram of a connection interface in accordance with the invention.
The connection interface circuit 1 shown in FIG. 1 is intended to connect a digital equipment 2 for transmitting and receiving data to a time multiplex link 3 which may serve other identical specialized interface circuits, such as the connection interface circuit 1' of a digital equipment 2' which likewise transmits and receives data, or other compatible circuits such as conversion interfaces 8, 8' of the codec type which are provided to serve transmitter/receiver equipments for speech signals 4, 4'.
The digital equipments 2, 2' may be of widely different types, and may range, for example, from the display equipment for telephone sets equipped with displays, to processors for controlling a switching network in which the multiplex link 3 may, optionally, constitute a part. The common characteristic of such digital equipments is that they are capable of being connected to the two-way time multiplex link 3 which has been selected because of the compatibility in form and bit rate of the data which may be transmitted or received by the equipment and the data which may be conveyed by said time multiplex link 3.
For well-known reasons concerned with the handling of data interchanges, each digital equipment 2 must include means enabling it to interchange signalling messages with other equipments with which it is suitable for communicating, either to interchange data or else to establish a path for such data interchange.
These means are preferably constituted by a mirroprocessor fitted with a set of memories and optionally associated with a direct memory access (DMA) device, such as the microprocessor 5 fitted with a set of memories 6 and with a DMA 10, and communicating therewith over a link bus 7 for the digital equipment 2. A USART type connection unit 42 is also capable of being connected to the link bus 7 in order to provide two-way transfer of digital data with external apparatus (not shown).
In a known manner, as symbolized by the equipment 2' in FIG. 1, a microprocessor 5' may also directly access a set of memories 6' via a bus 7' connected thereto, although this naturally increases the time during which the microprocessor 5' is not available for other tasks.
In either case, the microprocessor has occasion to transmit and receive data over the time multiplex link 3 via the link bus which serves it. If the equipment includes a DMA device 10, the DMA controls the data transfers requested of it from the time of multiplex link 3 to the set of memories 6, or in the opposite direction.
The speech signal transmitter/receiver equipments 4, 4' are conventionally the audio equipments of telephone sets and the conversation interface circuits 8, 8' serving them are conventionally codecs or cofidecs having the functions mentioned above.
The two-way time multiplex link 3 is conventionally provided to serve one, or more usually several specialized interface circuits 1 and/or 8 which share the available time slots. It is controlled by a clock module 11 which controls transfers of samples and digitally encoded speech signals and/or digital data via the time slots. The data and digitized speech samples are conventionally in the form of eight bit bytes.
The clock module 11 provides a common internal clock signal MCLK used for the internal operation of the specialized interface circuits 1 and 8, and a bit rate controlling clock signal over a link BCLK. The bit rate controlling clock signal BCLK over the multiplex link 3 has a frequency equal to or a sub-multiple of the frequency of the common internal clock signals MCLK, thereby enabling the line bit rate to be adapted to the requirements and the capabilities of the transmitter/receiver equipments 2 or 8 served thereby.
In one embodiment, the frequency of the common internal clock signal is two thousand and forty-eight kilohertz for a bit rate controlling clock signal at a frequency equal to the product of sixty-four kilohertz multiplied by a lower of two not greater than two to the power five.
The clock module 11 aIso supplies synchronization signals SYE and SYR for the various time intervals corresponding to the different time slots in the two one-way links 3E and 3R which operate in opposite directions an which together constitute the time multiplex link 3. Each specialized interface circuit 1 or 8 is connected by one terminal to each one-way link 3E, 3R, e.g. the connection interface circuit 1 is connected by terminals 3E1 and 3R1 to the two wires which respectively constitute the one-way links 3E and 3R.
Each specialized interface circuit 1 or 8 thus receives the clock signals MCLK and BCLK over two links MCLK and BCLK which signals are common to all of the specialized interface circuits of a given time multiplex link, and it further receives synchronization signals SYE and SYR over two specific links, which signals are specific to transmission and to reception for the time slots attributed to the, circuits in question, e.g. the links SYE1 and SYR1 for the connection interface circuit 1 and the links SYE2 and SYR2 for the conversion interface circuit 8.
This makes it possible to attribute one or several time slots on each one-way link 3E or 3R during successive frames as a function of the capacity of the link and of the requirements of the transmitter/receiver equipments served thereby, which equipments are all identically connected via their specialized interface circuits 1 or 8 having their respective transmission terminals connected to the one-way link 3E, known as the transmission link, and their respective reception terminals connected to the one-way link 3R known as the reception link.
The time multiplex link 3 is suitable for being used in several configurations for interchanging data and/or digitized speech signals between data transmitter-receiver equipments.
In a first configuration example the one-way transmission link 3E and the one-way reception link 3R are connected to each other at a point symbolized in this case by an item 9, and such a configuration makes it possible to interconnect transmitter/receiver equipments 2 or 4 which are connected to the line by their specialized interface circuits 1 or 8 using a rigid organization in which each specialized interface circuit is attributed to one or more fixed time slots both for transmission and for reception.
In a second configuration example, the multiplex link 3 includes an item 9 which controls the one-way transmission link 3E and the one-way reception link 3R in such a manner as to constitute a connection bus between the transmitter/receiver equipments. The controller item 9 may be constituted by a connection interface circuit 1 associated with a microprocessor, e.g. in accordance with one of the arrangements shown in FIG. 1.
In a third configuration example, the one-way links 3E and 3R are separately connected to a coupler of a time switching node within the item 9, with a transcoder allowing the equipments connected to these two links to communicate with equipments connected to other time multiplex links (not shown) for example via at least one time division telephone exchange or via a stage of such an exchange.
The connection interface circuit 1 per se is constituted by an integrated circuit and is provided with a group of receive registers 13 connected to the terminal 3R1 from which it receives digital data supplied by the one-way link 3R and destined for the digital equipment 2 during time slots which are attributed thereto during successive frames. The interface circuit 1 is also provided with a group of send registers 14 connected to the terminal 3E1 via which data is sent over the one-way link 3E during time slots which are attributed thereto for transmission.
A synchronization arrangement 12 receives the clock signals MCLK and BCLK transmitted over the links having the same references and also receives the synchronization signals transmitted over the links SYE1 and SYR1, and separately supplies the control signals for recording the digital data coming from the link in the set of receive registers 13 and for outputting digital data to be transmitted over the one-way link 3E from the set of send registers 14.
A group of buffer registers serves to interchange data between the groups of registers 13 and 14 with which the buffer registers 15 are connected via an interchange bus 17 and the data transmitter/receiver equipment via its link bus 7 to which the buffer registers 15 are also connected.
This group of buffer registers 15 interchanges data between the digital equipment 2 and the interface circuit 1 by matching the data format, throughput, and bit rate to enable data to be interchanged with the groups of send registers 14 or receive registers 13.
Data interchanges between the groups of registers 13 or 14 and the groups of buffer registers 15, and data interchanges between the groups of buffer registers 15 and the digital equipment 2 are under the control of an interface control arrangement 16.
The control arrangement 16 is connected firstly to the synchronization arrangement for data interchanges concerning the groups of receive registers 13 and send registers 14, and secondly with the microprocessor 5 and/or the DMA device 10, which are specifically connected thereto for interchanges between the group of buffer registers 15 and the digital equipment 2.
The structure and the operation of the interface are described in greater detail with reference to FIG. 2 for a time multiplex link 3 which is a conventional link having a frame of one hundred and twenty five microseconds duration divided into a number of time slots which is a multiple of eight, in particular twenty-four, thirty-two, sixty-four, one hundred and twenty-eight, or two hundred and fifty-six time slots, each of which conveys one eight-bit byte, thus enabling one speech sample to be transmitted per time slot for telephone communications, or enabling data to be transmitted via a channel comprising a single time slot or multiple time slots using a format which is equal to one byte or to a multiple of bytes.
Signalling for requests, instructions, and optional hand-shaking is performed in this case in the form of messages having the same format as is used for sending data.
The interface circuit 1 is thus suitable for dealing with different types of message including control messages and data messages which may occupy one or more time slots in a frame. Data messages are preceded in this case by a flag byte, and optionally by a length byte, and they are terminated by a check byte. Control messages comprise two first bytes, one of which defines the transmitter digital equipment 2 and the other of which defines the destination digital equipment 2, one or more intermediate bytes defining the control signal per se, and a last byte which is a check byte.
It is thus possible to choose a protocol which is adapted to the needs of the terminals in such a way as to avoid penalizing the network by transmitting control messages which are pointlessly long or complex.
The transmission links 3E and the reception links 3R of the time multiplex link 3, each constituted by a single wire in this case, are respectively connected to the output of an intermediate send register 18 (of the parallel-series type in this case) and to the input of an intermediate receive register 19 (a series-parallel type register in this case) which ensure byte-by-byte transmission or reception as the case may be to or from the time multiplex link 3 and the interface circuit 1.
To this end, each of the intermediate registers 18 and 19 is connected to the synchronization arrangement 12 in order to receive clock signals via two links HPS which serve them independently for bit-by-bit reception or transmission.
As indicated above, the synchronization arrangement 12 receives a clock signal MCLK for driving the internal operation of the interface circuit, said clock signal, which may be at 2048 kHz, is applied in this case to a conventional clock generator circuit 20.
As indicated above, the synchronization arrangement 12 also receives a olock signal BCLK from the clock module 11 mentioned with reference to FIG. 1. This signal indicates thereto the time intervals which correspond to the time slots reserved for the interface circuit 1.
The intermediate registers 18 and 19 of the interface circuit 1 are activated for transmission or reception as the case may be for each of the time slots in the frame which are reserved by the interface circuit 1 for its own needs.
The clock generator circuit 20 also receives a clock signal BCLK provided by the clock module 11 for each of the time slots of the channel set up on the time multiplex link 3 for the interface circuit 1.
The clock generator circuit 20 is connected both to a transmission time slot selector unit 21 and to a reception time slot selector unit 22, both of which are conventional and which also receive the synchronization signal SYE or SYR as appropriate and as supplied to them by the reference time base 11 during the time intervals of the time slots reserved for the interface circuit 1.
These time slots selection units 21 and 22 respectively control a send driver 23 and a receive driver 24, and the corresponding intermediate register 18 or 19 via the corresponding driver.
The drivers 23 and 24 are constituted, for example, by means of programmed logic networks grouped in pairs in such a manner that in each pair a first logic network controls the successive states of an operating sequence whiIe the other logic network generates the enabling signals for the various controlled members, in the well-known manner.
The send driver 23 receives clock signals generated by the clock generator circuit 20 as does the receive driver 24, it produces a send control signal CPS for the intermediate send register 18 when all the conditions required for transmission are satisfied, and in particular when the time interval arrives for sending the byte which is present in said intermediate send register.
Similarly, the receive driver 24 produces a receive control signal CSP when all the receive conditions are satisfied and in particular when the time interval arrives which corresponds to the time slot or to one of the time slots reserved for the connection interface 1 at that time.
Each of the intermediate registers 18 and 19 is associated with plurality of auxiliary registers in the group of registers 14 or 13 in which it is included, and it is connected to these auxiIiary registers via a transfer bus 25 or 26 which also serves specialized modules 28, 29, and 30, associated with transmission for the transfer bus 25, and specialized modules 35, 36, and 37, associated with reception for the transfer bus 26.
The send intermediate register 18 is thus connected via its inputs to the transfer bus 25 in such a manner as to receive the data coming from the digital equipment 2 served thereby, which data is supplied to the intermediate register byte-by-byte via a first auxiliary data register 27 whose inputs are connected to the interchange bus 17 of the interface 1. The send driver 23 controls reading of this first data register 27 via a link CDE when the conditions for transmission, as specified below, are satisfied.
A first specialized decoding module 28 is connected to the output from the auxiliary data register 27 via the transfer bus 25.
This first decoding module 28 is of the hard-wired logic type and has the purpose of detecting flag bytes at the beginnings of messages and of detecting control bytes, and also of detecting so-called empty bytes transmitted over the one-way link 3E when the send time slot(s) reserved for an interface circuit 1 are temporarily unused by said connection interface.
The first decoding module 28 is connected to the send driver 23 via a link given the reference IDC in this case in order to inform it that the specific byte mentioned above has been supplied by the auxiliary data register 27 to the intermediate send register 18.
A first test module 29 is connected to the output from the auxiliary data register 27 via the transfer bus 25, and serves to verify that the transmitted message is correct. To this end, each byte transmitted by the auxiliary data register 27 is used to generate a check byte, for example a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) byte which is obtained by performing an exclusive OR operation between each bit of the transmitted byte and the same number bits of the CRC byte established for the previously transmitted byte, with the last of the calculated CRC bytes being conveyed to the intermediate send register 18 at the end of the message to enable said last CRC byte to be checked by comparing it with a CRC byte calculated in identical manner by the receiving digital equipment 2.
The first test module 29 which is connected for two-way data transfer with the transfer bus 25 is also connected to the send driver 23 firstly by a link referenced ITS for checking the results of the successive CRC byte calculations, and secondly by a control link referenced CME for triggering transmission to the intermediate send register 18 of the last CRC byte intended to be sent at the end of the message.
A first length module 30 is also connected to the output of the auxiliary data register 27 by the transfer bus 25 in the driver 16, and it is controlled like the other modules by the send driver 23 via the link referenced CME.
This first length module 30 receives bytes indicating lengths of messages to be sent, which bytes are provided by the microprocessor 5 of the associated digital equipment 2 in respect of long messages. It is constituted by a conventional down counter which is preset by the length-indicating byte provided for a message and which is caused to count down by the send control circuit 23 via the link referenced CME each time a byte is sent over the one-way transmission link 3E. At the end of counting down from the position predetermined by the length-indicating byte, the first length module 30 supplies an end-of-current-message indication via a link referenced ILG.
An auxiliary or mode register 31 is connected via the interchange bus 17 to the output from the group of buffer registers 15. This auxiliary mode register 31 is intended to store information specific to transmission as supplied thereto by the microprocessor 5 via its link bus 7 and the group of buffer registers 15 for use by the send driver 23.
This send information defines the send protocol selected by the sending microprocessor 5, and is stored in binary form on the various bits of a specific byte including one bit position for requesting that a message be sent, another bit position for requesting a byte be sent without a check procedure, and in particular without the CRC test mentioned above, another bit for stopping transmission, and at least one more bit for resetting to zero to send successive empty bytes under the control of the microprocessor 5.
It is thus possible to choose the transmission protocol which is best adapted to the message to be transmitted, and in particular to use a procedure which uses few bytes when the message to be transmitted is short.
An auxiliary stuffing register 32 is also provided which is connected in parallel with the auxiliary registers 30 and 31 at the output from the bus 17 for cases where the multiplex link 3 is used as a local network interconnecting interface circuits 1 which are directly connected in parallel thereto, and in order to allow specific and generally repetitive bytes to be sent (and optionally a specific number thereof) over the link at the request of the microprocessor 5, such bytes including transmission request bytes DE, acquiescence bytes, or empty bytes. This makes it possible to avoid using specific calling links.
The auxiliary stuffing register 32 informs the transmission driver 23 of its status via a link referenced IOE which it shares in this case with the auxiliary mode register 31.
The three auxiliary registers 27, 31, and 32 of the group 14 are driven by a conventional activation unit 33 which depends from the microprocessor 5 and which serves to apply write commands, read commands, and addressing to said registers via a multi-wire link referenced LCE. The activation unit 33 is connected to the microprocessor 5 via an activation link CE, via write and read control links WR and RD, and via addressing links AO and A1, and it performs these same functions for the group of receive registers 13 and the group of buffer registers 15.
A physical reset to zero command from the digital equipment 2 is transmitted via a link R to the circuits concerned, in particular the send driver 23 and the receive driver 24, and also to the stuffing register 32, if so required.
As indicated above, the intermediate receive register 19 is associated with a plurality of auxiliary registers in the group of registers 13 in which it is included.
A second auxiliary data register 34 has its inputs connected to the outputs from the intermediate receive register 19 via the transfer bus 26 in such a manner as to successively receive the bytes coming from the one-way reception link 3R at the time slots attributed to the digital equipment 2 or more specifically to its interface circuit 1.
This auxiliary data register 34 records the bytes it receives from the intermediate receive register under the control of the receive driver 24 which is connected its write inputs via a link reference COR, and it outputs these bytes to the interchange bus 17 to be received by the group of buffer registers 15 under the control of the activation unit 33 which is connected thereto by a control link referenced LCR.
A second specialized decoding module 35, identical to the first decoding module 28, is connected by the transfer bus 26 to the output from the intermediate receive register 19, and it detects flag bytes at the beginnings of messages or at the beginnings of commands, as well as empty bytes appearing at the output from the intermediate receive register 19 in order to inform the receive driver 24 via a link referenced RDC.
A second length module 36, identical to the first length module 30, receives the length-indicating bytes transmitted at the beginnings of long messages coming from the one-way reception link 3R and the intermediate receive register 19. This second length module 36 provides an end-of-message indication to the receive driver 24 via a link referenced RLG after counting a number of bytes corresponding to the length indicated for a message being received.
A second test module 37 analogous to the first test module 29 is connected in parallel with the modules 35 and 36 to the output from the intermediate receive register 19 via the transfer bus 26, and serves to calculate a CRC byte for each transmitted byte. It also compares the last CRC byte calculated for a message with the CRC byte transmitted after the data of said message in order to inform the receive driver 24 of the result of the comparison, via a link referenced CRC.
The second modules 35, 36, and 37 of the control arangement 16 are individually controlled by selective sddressing from the receive driver 24 via a link referenced CMR.
An auxiliary status register 38 is connected firstly to the transfer bus 26 via its inputs and its outputs, and secondly to the interchange bus 17 via its outputs only. It stores the status of the interface circuit 1 both during transission and during reception, in order to inform the microprocessor 5 of the associated digital equipment of said status and optionally to enable said information to be transmitted in the form of at least one status byte via the one-way transmission link 3E. In the example described herein, the auxiliary status register 38 represents the following conditions: busy states of the interface circuit 1 during transmission and reception; end of data transmission and end of data reception states; end of received control message; identity or difference between the CRC byte at the end of a received message and the CRC byte calculated by the second test module 37; and finally failure of the first auxiliary data register 27 to be Ioaded in time durinig transmission and failure of the second auxiliary data register 34 to be read in time during transmission; all by means of a corresponding set of independent bits in order to make it possible for the necessary control and backup procedures to be taken.
At least one, and preferably two, auxiliary control registers 39 and 40 store control bytes which are usually provided in the form of two successive bytes by the receive wire 3R for the microprocessor 5 of the associated digital equipment 2, as mentioned above.
To this end, the two auxiliary control registers 39 and 40 are inserted between the transfer bus 25 and the interchange bus 17, they are controlled, as are the auxiliary data and status auxiliary registers 34 and 38 by the receive driver 24 via a link referenced COR, and by the activation unit 33 via a link referenced LCR for writing and reading respectively.
The receive driver 24 also controls a signalling unit 41 as a function of characteristic states.
The signalling unit 41 provides a series of status bits for a register (not shown) in the microprocessor 5, these bits are:
a bit BR indicating that a flag byte at the beginning of a message has been decoded;
a bit EMR and a bit ECR respectively indicating end of received message and end of received command;
a bit RR and a bit TR indicating the availability of the interface circuit 1 for transmission and reception respectively; and
a bit ET for indicating the end of message transmission by the interface circuit 1.
During transmission, the interface circuit 1 conventionally sends its control messages over a time slot which is attributed thereto on the one-way transmission link, and its data messages over said time slot which may optionally be associated with other time slots in order to form a wideband channel, and likewise it receives control messages intended therefor over a time slot of the one-way reception link 3R to which other time slots may opticnally be associated in the same link in order to constitute a broadband channel if such a channel is required for transmitting data to the interface circuit 1.
In conventional manner which is not described in greater detail herein, the control arrangement 16 ensures that the various stages necessary for interchanging data over the interface 1 take place as required as a function of the preceding states of the driver and of the commands received both from the microprocessor 5 of the associated digital equipment and via the one-way reception link 3R of the time multiplex link 3.

Lehigh's successful programs in entrepreneurship and innovation were formally recognized yesterday by Bethlehem Mayor John B. Callahan during a press conference at the Pi: Partnership for Innovation facility in South Bethlehem.
Callahan singled out the university's Dexter F. Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity and Innovation and the Ben Franklin Technology Partners' TechVentures®, located on the Mountaintop Campus.
He also noted that Lehigh was recently named one of the nation's top 25 schools for entrepreneurship by Entrepreneur Magazine and The Princeton Review.
"It's one thing to be recognized by your peers, but it is another thing entirely to be recognized on a national level," said Callahan. "I think this is a testament to how Bethlehem benefits from having a top 25 research institution here."
The rankings take into account academic requirements, student success, faculty engagement and entrepreneurship outside of the classroom. Callahan said Lehigh's efforts to promote entrepreneurship in Bethlehem were an important contributor to the area's economic future.
Callahan's citation was accepted by Todd Watkins, the Arthur F. Searing Professor of Economics and director of the Baker Institute, and William D. Michalerya, associate vice president for government relations and economic development.
"Student start-up companies are coming out of Lehigh year after year," said Watkins, who also directs the microfinance program in Lehigh's College of Business and Economics. "We're working hard with faculty and staff to accelerate the marketing of new technologies that are being developed here."
For entrepreneurs, "world class" support
Callahan also recognized Ben Franklin TechVentures, an internationally acclaimed high-tech workspace and business technology incubator owned and operated by the Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania (BFTP/NEP) on the Mountaintop Campus.
The National Business Incubation Association (NBIA) named TechVentures the 2012 Randall M. Whaley National Incubator of the Year, and Inc. magazine has recognized its expansion, TechVentures2, as one of the top start-up incubators to watch.
"Just a year after opening, Ben Franklin TechVentures was named NBIA's 2012 Randall M. Whaley National Incubator of the Year, the highest achievement in business incubation," said Callahan.
TechVentures will be the site of the first Lehigh Valley Startup Weekend on Nov. 2-4, an event hosted by Lehigh Valley Tech. Startup Weekends are entrepreneurship competitions in which groups come together to share ideas and launch companies, and they occur simultaneously around the world, including New York City, the United Kingdom and Mexico.
"The success that's happening in Bethlehem, the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania with respect to technology and economic development is not an accident," said R. Chadwick Paul Jr. '76, president and CEO of BFTP/NEP.
"We've created a fabric that shows young entrepreneurs that if you're really serious about starting a company, we will help you do it, and we will help you do it in a world-class way."
The mayor's press conference also celebrated the first anniversary of Pi, an 8,000-square-foot facility that offers low-cost office space to innovative technology companies. One of these companies, Viddler, an interactive, on-line video platform, was founded in 2006 by Robert Sandie '06 and other Lehigh alumni. Pi's proximity to New York and Philadelphia has been a selling point for businesses – including HigherNext, a Philadelphia-based company that recently acquired space at Pi.
"2012 has been a banner year for entrepreneurship in Bethlehem," said Callahan. "2013 will be even better."

Hurley International founder Bob Hurley spent a decade as the U.S. distributor for Billabong, the iconic Australian sportswear brand — a professional experience that gave him invaluable insights into the surf clothing business. Upon launching his eponymous fashion label in 1998, Hurley focused on designing brightly colored board shorts and almost instantly cemented his reputation as a swimwear favorite among fashion-conscious beach enthusiasts. Over the years Hurley has added comfortable jeans, hoodies, caps, and other streetwear to its collection, which remains rooted in its founder's love for the ocean, music and art. A Nike property since 2002, Hurley International continues to represent the cutting edge in surfwear with SIMA award-winning designs like the Phantom Fuse board short, which comes with patented waistband features.
With summer fast approaching, now's the time to get your beach look in order. Which is where this selection of beachy essentials — flip-flips, graphic tees, tote bags, and swim trunks — comes in.
The makers of the famous Hurley surfboards know a thing or two about surf style, as evident in this wild-riding sale of beachwear. From raglan rashguard tops to logo'd polos to hooded windbreakers, Hurley's got all 10 toes on the pulse of swim trends. And of course, this sale isn't lacking in bright boardshorts, which come in plaid, floral and colorblock patterns.
Coats by Vince Camuto, French Connection, and more, for a steal.
Henleys, colorblock tees, and more versatile streetwear.

1 cup
margarine, softened
1 cup
packed brown sugar
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 cup
1 cup
black walnuts, coarsely ground
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
pumpkin pie spice
3 cups
rolled oats
I'm giving 5 stars to the original Quaker Oatmeal Cookie Recipe. The original Vanishing Oatmeal Cookie recipe from Quaker Oats is usually found right under the lid of the canister of Quaker Oats. The recipe is exactly the same except for one ingredient the original recipe calls for cinnamon instead of pumpkin pie spice, we think the cinnamon taste much better in the cookies, of course the raisins and nuts are optional that's up to your taste. If you do use raisins try softening them before you put them in the cookies it keep the texture more moist, I like to make mine a little bigger and don't over bake them, keep them nice and soft. I always use butter never margarine but that's also your personal taste.
I found this to be a very simply recipe which baked into nicely rounded cookies. My husband felt the pumpkin pie spice was too strong. I should note that I used chocolate pieces rather than raisins. I don't know if that change had an effect. Were I to make these again, I'd probably use the raisins.

I made this cookies a few times and the family members just loved it. But I replaced the pumpkin spice with cinnamon as I find it taste better.
We prefer the cookies to be crunchy than chewy
so I bake it for an extra 10 min. Is pefect.
These are BY FAR THE BEST oatmeal cookies that I have EVER eaten! Use the pumpkin pie spice--it's what makes the cookies special!!!!
These are really the best oatmeal cookies I've ever made. Instead of just all-purpose flour, I used 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 3/4 c. whole wheat flour. 1/4 c. mixture of oat bran, wheat bran and wheat germ. I also substituted cinnamon for the pumpkin spice. Additionally, I used dark chocolate chips and chopped mixed nuts. SOOOOOO yummy. Next time I might substitute apple sauce for half the butter, to make it a little more healthy.
This is almost the exact same recipe as Quaker oats vanishing oatmeal cookies. I used 2 sticks of unsalted butter, skipped the walnuts and used apple pie spice instead of pumpkin pie spice. These cookies are so tasty and soft it really is hard to stop eating them! One more thing I do not grind up the raisins I don't think that is necessary. If you love oatmeal cookies you will love these.
I have made these as a staple for my family and to bring to work. I changed the recipe by using butter, 3/4 cup white sugar, I vary the raisins with dried blueberries, golden raisins, cranberries and dried fruit whirled in the food processor with a bit of sugar will work wonderfully. I never have black walnuts and I've substituted pine nuts, almonds, pecans whatever I happen to have on hand. I almost triple the spice, I use nutmeg, cinnamon, a touch of ground cloves and/or ginger they are fabulous. FANTASTIC I must make them once a week.
dried cranberries instead of raisins !!!

Marble sarcophagus with lid
Roman, about AD
From Ierápetra, Crete
For a Hellenistic-style burial
Though made in Crete this sarcophagus closely imitates a type which was made in Athens and exported throughout the Mediterranean, particularly the eastern end. Marble sarcophagi became increasingly popular throughout the Roman period as the fashion for Hellenistic-style burials increased. Simpler examples such as this one, with its garlands and ox skulls showing its derivation from altar decoration, gradually gave way to more ornate examples depicting personages and battles from history and mythology.

Bradley Cooper Agrees That Ryan Gosling Is Sexier Than He Is
Add Bradley Cooper to the list of people who think Ryan Gosling is hotter than the Sexiest Man Alive. Wait. What? Bradley is the Sexiest Man Alive, as People Magazine declared last month, anyway.
The Hangover star revealed that being dubbed the biggest dreamboat everrr is "the worst." As Mr. Cooper told Graham Norton on his eponymous BBC show, "I'm finally at an age — I'm 36 years old — where I really don't care about anything like that anymore, which is a wonderful thing. Then this happened and then I started to realize just how not sexy I am."
He has a great sense of humor about the whole thing, too. Winning the award has changed the way he thinks on a daily basis: "I have a lot of moments where [I'm] walking out and I'll open up the door [and think], 'I could do that a lot sexier.'"
Bradley continued, "Ryan and I were both in Paris this last week and a friend of mine showed me photographs from the paparazzi . And when I say 'friend,' I mean me, alone in my room, looking at the computer. And it's like him walking around and he literally looks like he's in a photo shoot, like he just came off the runway... There are [photos] of me, and I literally look like the neighbor who never really comes out of his house, and when he does, you're like, 'Maybe you should just stay in.'"
If by stay in, he means come over to our place, then yes. He should stay in all the time.

Last week a sad event occurred in the food blogging community. One of our friends, Daniel Saraga, passed away suddenly at the age of 37. Daniel and his wife Meredith write the wonderful food blog the Haggis and the Herring. Not only was Daniel a member of the blogging community, he was also a part of the Secret Recipe Club and through that I got to know him and enjoyed reading his blog posts. Please visit the beautiful tribute written by his wife.
As part of the Secret Recipe Club we felt that there is no better way to pay tribute to the passing of our fellow food blogger then to make some of his recipes and share them with our readers. The recipe I chose was a very easy decision. I've been in the mood for meatballs and I just used half a bottle of Amaretto in a canning recipe and was wondering what I could do with the rest of the bottle. These delicious meatballs were just what I was looking for.
I began by cooking the sauce and wasn't thrilled with the smell of it when it began cooking. I had a taste after 15 minutes of cooking and started getting worried. It tasted strongly of vinegar and sugar but I kept on cooking it. Meanwhile I started on the homemade meatballs. In his post Daniel said that he wished he had had time to make his own meatballs so I decided to do this tribute right and make my own meatballs to go with this sauce.
After 45 minutes of cooking the sauce it had reduced by about a third and was thick. The color has also deepened and I was pleasantly surprised by the resulting flavor. It was sweet, tasted slightly of almonds, and had a rich tomato flavor. I poured it over top of the meatballs and continued cooking for 10 minutes. We then poured the meatballs over top of rice which worked perfectly with these meatballs.
Meatballs in Amaretto Barbecue Sauce (slightly adapted from the Haggis and the Herring, the meatball recipe is my own)
For the Amaretto Barbecue Sauce:
3 T. butter
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 c. ketchup
6 oz. can of tomato paste
12 oz. Dr. Pepper
1 oz. Amaretto liqueur
1/2 c. cider vinegar
1/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 t. black pepper
2 t. chili powder
1/2 t. salt
For the meatballs:
1 lb. lean (93/7) ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup onion, minced
1/4 c. seasoned breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 t. black pepper
1 t. salt
1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the onions and garlic for 10 minutes in the butter.
2. Add in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
4. While the sauce is simmering make the meatballs. Combine the ground beef, garlic cloves, and onion in a large bowl. Add in the egg and mix well. Stir in the breadcrumbs, pepper, and salt.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
6. Form the meatball mixture into 1 inch meatballs and place them in the skillet. Cook for 10 minutes, browning on all sides.
7. When the sauce has thickened pour it over top of the meatballs and allow them to simmer for 10 minutes.
8. Serve over top of rice or mashed potatoes.

Chateau Rauzan Segla 2010
Bordeaux Red Blends from Margaux, Bordeaux, France
Critical Acclaim
James Suckling - "Beautiful clarity of fruit with raspberries and currants on the nose. Roses and other flowers too. It's almost hard to describe, but there's a real purity. Full body, with fabulous balance and depth. It has everything in the right place. Best ever?"
Wine Enthusiast - "One of the top Margaux wines, this is in top form, finely balanced and as elegant as it is powerful. It is darkly structured, dense yet balancing tannins with ripe black plums. It expresses the complexity of the vintage. A wine for serious, long-term aging. Cellar Selection."
The Wine Advocate - "To reiterate, the 2010 Rauzan Segla is like a super-duper version of the 1986. Displaying fabulous density, an inky purple color and a superb nose of forest floor with a hint of menthol as well as loads of creme de cassis, mocha and touches of chocolate and subtle oak, this full-bodied, deep, concentrated wine represents only 45% of the estate's production. It is certainly not for those who can't wait a few years for it to round into shape, as I suspect it needs at least 5-8 years of bottle-age, but it should last for half a century or more. 95+ "
Wine Spectator - "Flashy style of Margaux, with alluring warm cocoa and black tea aromatics followed by cashmere-textured plum sauce, steeped fig and blackberry confiture notes. The well-integrated structure makes this seem almost accessible now, but the ample length and a smoldering tobacco note make a case for cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2030."

Chateau Rauzan Segla Winery
The wines here have delighted many well-know figures, most famously Thomas Jefferson who came across this wine during his visit to the vineyards of Bordeaux, placing an order for several cases of it. He thus became a fervent admirer or Rauzan-Segla wines. Some decades later, the 1855 Classification ranked Chateau Rauzan-Segla as a Second Growth.
The current chateau was built in 1903, designed by architect Louis Garros, who drew inspiriation from the original Perigord-style buildings in the the chateau, as well as G. LeBreton who designed the park and green spaces. Then time went by and the chateau gradually fell into a slumber.
Then, CHANEL purchased Château Rauzan-Ségla in April 1994 and immediately started a full renovation programme. The vineyard has been drained – a 15-kilometer network is now in place, 2 parcels of Petit Verdot were planted and 3 hectares of vines were grafted over with Merlot. Today, 51 hectares are in production for an average total production of 200 000 bottles – Château Rauzan- Ségla and its second wine Ségla. The winery has been adapted and large vats progressively replaced by smaller capacities – matching the parcels' sizes. From the 2004 picking on, grapes will be sorted on two 10-meter long vibrating tables, so that each single berry is checked before entering the vats. Maturation cellars have been completely renovated and a new room built for the bottling-labelling machines – making Château Rauzan-Ségla fully independent for the entire production process.

About MargauxView a map of Margaux wineries (mahr-GOH)
Soft, elegant, feminine… these are words often used to describe the wines of Margaux. The commune is different from its northern neighbors of the Haut-Médoc in both geography and style. Home to the name-sharing premier cru, Margaux lays a few marshlands south of St.-Julien.
Notable FactsAs in other Medoc appellations, Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blends of the region, but the percentage of Merlot in Margaux's wines is higher than other left bank communes. Add that to a diverse soil, lighter than that in the north, and you have a softer, more voluptuous wine. In the best years, wines of Margaux are delicate, elegant and refined - structured, but not austere. Chateau Margaux is, of course, a first growth and a highly esteemed and sought-after wine. Chateau Palmer, a third growth, is also well-respected and often commands prices equivalent of first growths. Look for Cru Bourgeois if you want to try the finesse of Margaux at a lower price.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Roku 2 ( 2015)
A nearly perfect mix of speed, features, price and ecosystem make the Roku 2 our favorite streaming device yet.
Pricing not available
Western Digital WD TV Media Player ( 2014)
While not for everyone, the WD TV's adroit playback of video and music files makes it the perfect living room box for people with large digital media collections.
Google Nexus Player
Until it receives a major infusion of native apps and developer support, and better integrates non-Google services, the Nexus Player with Android TV offers no compelling upgrade over other streaming devices.
Amazon Fire TV
A great media streamer that will suit you perfectly if you buy everything from Amazon. If not, Roku makes better value boxes.
Roku Streaming Stick ( 2014)
Unless you have very little to spend, this is one of the best streaming devices you can buy in the UK today.
Sky Now TV Box
A streaming TV box for £10 is astonishing value, although if you can afford an extra £40 you should pick up a Roku Streaming Stick instead.
Google Chromecast
Technically, the Chromecast is a wonder to behold. If all you want is a cheap way to get iPlayer and Netflix, it's a good choice, but it needs more content before it becomes a must-buy for most.
Sony STR-DN1040
The Sony STR-DN1040 is a truly first-class AV receiver, boasting tons of wireless technology and a pretty user interface, at a premium price.
Roku 3 Streaming Media Player
The Roku 3 is quick and easy to use for accessing online video services but it's pricey. It's also disappointing that it lacks support for key movie and catch up TV services including 4oD and Lovefilm.
Popcorn Hour C-300
The Popcorn Hour C-300 has excellent video file format support and allows you to browse through your video files by poster art. But its line-up of smart apps is relatively poor, it has buggy software and it costs way too much.
Typical price: £350.00

This is a neat, handy bronzer! First off, let me say that I use Retin A, so my face and neck get zero sun. I bought this to use when I go swimming etc so that my face and body will be the same color. At first glance, it looks very orange and overly shimmery in the pan. But, it doesn't apply like that. It applies very golden brown in color and has an illuminating finish. I like the tin packaging as well. As far as application, one tap covers my forehead, one tap covers the top of each cheek, etc. So, it doesn't take much product, but I must warn you that you can easily over-do it with this bronzer! Be sure to blend and buff in well. This really is waterproof as it states-so thrilled about it! Overall, very happy with it, and this will likely become a summer staple for me as it fits all that I need!

Just simply not practical for an everyday bronzer. It does not look natural whatsoever and makes you look like you put glitter on your face. it's shiny and very cheap looking on. it may be nice for going out where you are in a dim lit place and don't mind a little shimmer. but honestly i would not recommend at all.

I do like this bronzer, and will probably try to finish it up or end up swapping it before I run out. I can't imagine running out before the apocalypse. It is not as fantastic as NARS Laguna, but it is pretty good on my NC25 skin. If you use a light hand, it is not orange or sparkly. Of course, NOTHING will ever beat L'Oreal HIP bronzer. I put "no" that I would not repurchase, because I would choose Laguna over this.

While I love cargo and feel bad giving a bad review, this bronzer wasnt good for me. Too bronze, like a metallic finish. Otherise if you like the color, all else was great.
Update: Weirdly love this when applied with a light hand using a fan brush. I think using too much was giving it a metallic, Tin Man look. I've got it down now and when done right gives the perfect bronzy glow. Paired with Lorac's Flaunt, a cool-toned hot pink blush, I look like I spent the day frolicking in the sun.

This did not work as a bronzer for me because of all the medium size shimmer and it's oragney, but I love to layer it over blush. It gives me a healthy glow I just have to be light handed with it. I'm so glad I didn't toss this out when I was cleaning out my stash.

This bronzer is great. I'm not that tan, so most other products I've tried make my skin look too ruddy unless I apply it *extra* carefully. But this bronzer adds just the right amount of warmth and shimmer. I use my big MAC powder brush and sweep it all over my face after applying tinted moisturizer. It's more expensive that drugstore brands (mine was $28 from the Canadian site ebeauty.ca) but you don't need to cake it on, so it lasts for a long time. It's worth it for me when I think about all the half-used bronzers I have lying around.

Love this bronzer probably close to HG for me but I hate the packaging (as with most of the Cargo products) it doesn't travel well and it will crack. Other than that I love the way it makes my skin glow, not orange looking, will purchase again.

Wow! Is what first came to mind when I put this on. I had read reviews on MUA on this bronzer, but when I went to swatch it in the shop I thought it seemed quite light-coloured (I was scared it wouldn't show up on my skin) and VERY shimmery.
BUT when I got home and put it on my face, it looked soo natural, and the gold flecks in it are very subtle and only noticeable if you look up close. I would say this is a subtle bronzer, but it definitely warms up your face and gives you a fresh-off-the-beach glow and makes a difference to your skintone! It is also very buildable, and quite pigmented.
I'm not a big fan of the packaging - detachable lid, no mirror. And when you open the can I think it looks like you get a lot more product than you do get, because they must sit the pan about halfway up the tin. I compared it to my Rimmel Natural Bronzer and they are about the same size in diameter, and it looks like the Cargo goes deeper, but if you compare the weights - the Rimmel is 14g, and the Cargo is only 8.9g. So I feel a tiny bit cheated by that. Nevertheless, I don't think this is an overly exorbitant price to pay for a bronzer ($26 CAD + tax).
I also love that it's made in Canada so I can finally buy something that is cheaper here than in the US!
Overall very satisfied with my purchase - I'm thinking of going to buy the matte version too!

this is my favorite bronzer. i have pretty light skin, and everything else turns my face orange. (Although i think Cargo just makes really good bronzers to begin with.) even the Too Faced bronzer made me look orange. the MAC bronzer is okay but still makes my skin look a little bit dirty looking or even a tad orange-ish. This Cargo one is just right. I will continue to buy it.

This is a pretty decent bronzer, perhaps for cooler tones it wouldn't work because it definitely has a more coppery tone to it. I really like the tin, Cargo definitely has some of the most practical packaging on the old blushes and bronzers, its neat looking and doesn't get broken or scratched. Its a lot of bronzer for the price, so I think the price is worth how much product you get, it's not my favorite, but it works :)

Recently one of my close friends and me went to Rome to visit famous museums in Rome. Here we find that Rome is a capital and largest city of Italy and it is also one of the most beautiful cities in the world that is why most tourists want to spend their vacations in hotels Rome. Rome as itself is the greatest open air museum in Europe and it is a city which offers stunning architecture and wide choice of museums and art galleries filled with paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance and the Baroque.
We all are art lovers, that is why we enjoyed very much in Rome, because it is a city which is full of art and history.
