Reviews for Dr. Alkaitis Travel Kit
By Dr. Alkaitis
Average rating: 4.2 out of 5 hearts
By Leanne on April 14, 2012
Aaaaah-mazing line! I'm happily hooked.
I bought the travel kit quite a while back and never came back to review (oops!). Well, I am still using this line, I love it so much! My once problematic, oily, uneven, blemish-prone skin cleared very fast. I could finally call my skin "normal". Nothing else compares, it's worth every penny. Especially since the products are so effective, and a little goes a long way with these. My skin feels so pampered with this awesome line. The kit clears any problem areas/blemishes, comforts and soothes skin FAST, and none of the products ever feel heavy or irritating (my favorite part). I am ordering the shampoo next, as I am out of my Morrocco Method and want to try this one instead. Get the trial kit, it is the best way to discover the product line.

Overwhelming scents
The herbal toner in this kit had such an overwhelming scent I could not stand to use it. I poured it down the drain! The day cream has a strong smell also, as does the night cream, but I can tolerate these two smells better. I purchased the travel kit so I could try a variety of items without buying the full size bottles. I'm so glad I did because these natural products seem to have very strong scents that are bothersome to my sensitive nose and even give me a headache. I probably will not order anything from this product line again. Very disappointed so far in my quest to find items that don't contain harmful ingredients!

Great way to try out Dr. H!
I bought the travel kit this past summer because my skin was freaking out. Generally my skin is combination and acne-prone, just oily in the t-zone, but in the hot, humid summer, it really goes crazy. These products really helped tone it down, especially the cleanser, toner, soothing gel, and oil. The oil smells amazing and you can literally use it everywhere – my favorite of the bunch. The soothing gel is great for acne. Didn't really use the night cream or eye cream, but I rarely use products like that. The moisturizer is a bit shiny, but it's actually really great to mix with a matte foundation, and would probably be good for people with dry skin.

Great product.
I bought this travel kit along with a couple others to find a natural replacement for my current skin care products. This was the first of the sets that I tried and I was very impressed. I am 46, my skin is sensitive and easily becomes red and irritated, and I still get occasional blemishes. While using the product I had no blemishes, no irritation, and my skin glowed. The only problem was that I really did not like the smell of the day cream. All of the other products had a pleasant or neutral scent. All of the products in the kit lasted well over 2 weeks.

Good sampler
I got this for my kid sister for her birthday. It's a great way to sample the different products.

Perfect Travel Set
Thank you Dr. Alkaitis for making a travel kit! I took this with me on a 10 day trip to Mexico and all the products worked like a charm. Everything was light, refreshing, and nourishing – even in high humidity and temperatures. This kit has everything you need for a trip to care for your skin.
By Eco on August 2, 2011
Great intro to the product line at a very good value
If you are considering trying Dr. Alkaitis products but don't want the risk of paying for full-sized products, then this kit is for you – it is a great introduction to this line. I was hesitant about the price but found that a little goes a very long way with most all the products in the kit. I've used all the products for awhile and the toner, treatment oil, and soothing gel (I can not say enough good things about how this gel calms skin irritation) are my favorites. I found the cleanser didn't work for me though – my skin felt a bit taut after washing (I have combo skin that loves to flake on the cheeks and break out along the jawline and hairline).
By Newyorker on February 20, 2011
A great introduction to a skin care line that works!
I tried the Dr. Alkaitis travel kit after my previous two natural skin care lines just weren't working for me. Whoa—this line works!!! The travel kit is the perfect introduction to the line, and I have also ordered it a few times for traveling. A little goes a long way, so I have found that the travel sizes easily last up to 2 weeks. I have sensitive and blemish-prone skin, and these products have left my skin in the best shape it has ever been!
By Lm on February 16, 2011
All you need
This kit is fantastic! I love the eye cream. Smooths out my dry lines. The day and night creams were very moisturizing as well. The cleansers are refreshing. The oil is very moisturizing on my shaved legs and helps keep my feet & heels smooth. This is a fantastic kit!
By Gls on February 15, 2011
Mixed review
The great thing about a travel kit is you get to try lots of new products. I loved the cleanser, night cream, eye cream and nourishing oil. The toner was okay, but the day cream irritated my skin. Have not tried the mask.
Experience the power of pure, raw ingredients with eight signature Dr. Alkaitis products.

Yes, you too can own your very own Louis Vuitton bunny ears like the ones Madonna wore last night to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala!
A modified version of the Marc Jacobs-designed accessory will hit stores this fall, according to a rep for the French luxury fashion house. "They will be much, much smaller, and the bunny ears will be attached to a headband," the rep says.
The silk ears will be offered in black only. A price has not been set yet.
So where did Madge find the wacky headpiece?
The original bunny ears made their catwalk debut in March at the Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 show at the Louvre in Paris. No word if Madonna will be sportin' any in her upcoming ad campaign for LV.
While Madge's ensemble last night may not be getting the best reviews, there's at least one style trendsetter in New York who's giving the music queen props for daring to be different. "Loved it," exclaims Simon Doonan, creative guru at Barneys New York and author of Eccentric Glamour. "This is a great era for glamorous eccentricity. People are bored with glamour gowns."
Doonan goes on to say, "The ultraconventional glamour-gown look? That's so last century, dahling! Think Lady Gaga!"
Madonna and her bunny ears were seen after the gala at Jacobs' afterparty at Monkey Bar, according to WWD.
And that's not all I have for you about the postgala festivities. Make sure to come back later to get the scoop on what Rihanna was up to after making her tuxedo-glam return to the red carpet.

Robert Germino (former captain in the United States Marine Corps, Iraq veteran, board member of the not-for-profit Semper4Soldiers, and 2010 candidate for State Assembly District 13) is the Republican candidate for Nassau County Legislature. The Nassau County Republican Committee nominated him for the current County Legislative District 18 that includes Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Bayville, Locust Valley, Brookville, Glen Head, Greenvale, and Jericho.
The school year is soon coming to a close, but the Glen Cove School District is still working hard to prepare for the next school year. Several curriculum topics were discussed at Monday night's Board of Education meeting held at Robert M. Finley Middle School, including new courses for next year and the sixth grade honors program, which was implemented last year.
In a room filled with family, friends and supporters, Glen Cove Councilwoman Delia DeRiggi-Whitton recently held a meeting at Page One restaurant in Glen Cove to announce that she had been asked by County Legislator Diane Yatauro of the 18th district to run for her position when she retires, after serving since 2003.
Twenty-one gun salutes are a naval tradition that date back to the age of sail, when a salute was fired by a man-of-war entering a foreign harbor to show that its guns were not loaded and, thus, was entering on friendly terms. It later evolved into a 21-gun salute for dignitaries and heads of state that were visiting naval vessels. After the Civil War, both Army and Naval installations equipped with cannon would fire 21-gun salutes on two National Holidays—on Memorial Day and July 4th. Today, Naval installations and ships equipped with saluting batteries fire a 21 minute-gun salute on Memorial Day, with the first shot commencing at precisely noon, and the last shot ending at 12:20 p.m. The Navy fires an additional 21-gun salute on George Washington's birthday.
Local communities showed enthusiasm this weekend for the spirit of Memorial Day, coming out in great numbers for three big parades and ceremonies that delivereone message, as Abraham Lincoln while dedicating the Soldiers' National Cemetery put it: "…from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
It has been announced this week that Delia DeRiggi-Whitton has been nominated by the Nassau County Democratic Committee to run for the vacant position that will be left by Diane Yatauro in the county's 18th Legislative District and Robert Germino has been nominated to run on the Republican ticket. The 18th Legislative District includes the communities of Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Bayville, Locust Valley, Brookville, Glen Head, Greenvale and Jericho.
Martin Carmody was also nominated by the Democratic Committee to replace DeRiggi-Whitton on the City of Glen Cove Council slate, running along with Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi.
Members of the Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department had a rough night this past Thursday. After a rigorous session of training at the Nassau County Fire Service Academy in Old Bethpage, most guys probably wanted nothing more than to go home and rest. Instead, after training to battle a fire on a row of buildings, they got the call to the real thing at 67 Glen Street.
Chief Anthony Tripp spoke to the Record Pilot after the fire. He said that one of the toughest things that night was overcoming fatigue.
While neighboring Oyster Bay and Locust Valley budgets went down, school budgets in both the Glen Cove and North Shore districts passed this week.
Glen Cove
The results were 1023 YES and 578 NO in favor of the $72,052,501 budget. Joel Sunshine was re-elected to the Glen Cove Board of Education with1040 votes. Barrie Dratch was newly elected to the board with 675 votes.
Superintendent Dr. Joseph Laria announced the totals and told the community, "We thank all the people who made the budget a reality… We're very grateful."
Seventeen Glen Cove School District teachers were recognized for their experience, talent and dedication to the district at a ceremony honoring their tenure appointments at Robert M. Finley Middle School on Monday night at the Glen Cove Board of Education meeting.
The principals of each school offered anecdotes and praise for every individual teacher – ranging from those fairly new to the job to those with over 20 years of experience – who were then awarded a Certificate of Tenure by the superintendent and board of education.
Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi and the Glen Cove City Council honored the emergency workers who risked their lives to save the life of a 19-year-old woman this winter, braving freezing temperatures and ice and snow to pull her from a burning house at daybreak.
The mayor recounted the story to the standing room only crowd at City Hall Tuesday night: The fire was reported to the Glen Cove Police Department at 5:10 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 15, when it was 26 to 32 degrees, with snow on the ground. The report was then called into the Glen Cove Fire Department who in turn notified its members. "Ex-Chief Pat Peet lives across the street from the location of the fire and immediately jumps into action," he continued. "Pat meets the homeowner at the front door who told him that there was a female occupant still inside the burning house. Ex-Chief Pat tries to go into the house by the front door, but was pushed out by the heat and smoke from the fire. Pat meets Police Officer Ed Linares on the front porch and Officer Linares breaks the front bedroom window with his baton. This enables Ex-Chief Peet to be able to enter the bedroom. Pat started to search the room for the victim and was confronted with no visibility and extreme heat and smoke.

STRUER, Denmark and LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bang & Olufsen, the global provider of exclusive high quality audio and video products, proudly announces its development in 3D sound technology in the car-audio segment, together with Audi and Fraunhofer IIS, the main inventor of mp3 and a renowned source for advanced audio technologies. Under the partnership, the 3D audio solution has been introduced in an Audi Q7 Concept Car, which will be unveiled at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in the Audi booth (North Hall, 1130).
The Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System is already available today as an optional feature in the Audi Q7. The Concept Car at the CES demonstrates how the next generation of the Advanced Sound System redefines what buyers can expect from an in-car audio system.
Denis Crede, head of sound system development, Audi AG: "At Audi we strive to improve the experience of music enthusiasts by consistently setting new benchmarks with our sound systems. We believe that the introduction of 3D movies has helped to define the next major step forward for in-car sound systems: the reproduction of music in the third dimension. The 3D acoustic dimension of music recordings is reproduced more naturally and more inspirationally than ever through 3D sound. This produces an airiness and openness of the acoustics which corresponds to human hearing. With Fraunhofer IIS and Bang & Olufsen we have partners with whom we were able to jointly realize this idea."
3D sound adds a new emotional dimension to the user experience
"Bang & Olufsen Audio Systems for cars are widely renowned for their unique ability to turn a car interior into a real high-end listening room, and with the addition of the 3D sound algorithm and associated speaker units and amplifiers in this Audi Q7 Concept Car, we add a new important emotional dimension into the listening experience. Extending beyond the small confined space of the vehicle cabin, the available sound experience now ranges all the way from a very big and open sense of space to the purist setting such as a control room of a recording studio," says Bjarne Sorensen, Senior Manager Car Concept Creation and Communication.
This unheard listening experience is based on a sophisticated approach combining the expertise of the Audi and Bang & Olufsen acoustic engineers with the 3D sound know-how of the Fraunhofer team. The new 3D sound system takes any music of the user to the third dimension by a careful analysis built on psycho-acoustic knowledge. This analysis enables the intelligent distribution of the input signal to the loudspeakers in the car creating a highly realistic three-dimensional sound impression. With no more than a push of a button on the Audi Multi Media Interface, the user can adjust the settings and produce an individual level of 3D intensity.
Harald Popp, head of the Multimedia Realtime Systems department of Fraunhofer IIS states: "Based on the know-how from our research and development in 3D audio, the Advanced Sound System of the Audi Q7 Concept Car not only creates an impressive dimensionality and spaciousness, which dissolves the geometry of the car. It also reproduces the genuine richness of the music with ultimate precision for an unrivalled music experience. We are very pleased with the opportunity to develop such a unique sound system together with Audi and Bang & Olufsen."
Listen to the technology
The concept car has 23 active loudspeakers and more than 1500 watts of amplification power, driven by a new 23 channel DSP Most amplifier. The loudspeakers have been specially selected to complement the architecture inside the car and create the unique sense of listening to music inside a concert auditorium.
- Two loudspeakers in the dashboard center (tweeter and broadband)
- Two tweeters in the dashboard (left/right) with acoustic lens technology
- One mid-high loudspeaker in each A pillar
- One tweeter in each A pillar
- Two loudspeakers in each front door with a woofer and a midrange
- Three loudspeakers in each rear door with a woofer, midrange and a tweeter
- Two surround loudspeakers in each D pillar, consisting of a tweeter and broadband
- One closed subwoofer box in the spare wheel compartment
All loudspeakers are covered by high-grade aluminum grilles that reflect the excellence inside the car. In addition, the two dashboard speakers use Bang & Olufsen's patented acoustic lens technology for accurate sound reproduction. The Acoustic Lens Technology was first fitted to the Audi A8 and its major benefit is the way it uniformly disperses high frequencies, broadening it to 180 degrees while at the same time limiting vertical reflections. This provides detailed acoustic staging from any seat of the car.
Experience it for yourself
As well as experiencing the new standards set by the Q7, you can also witness the revolutionary 3D audio technology for yourself at the listening room at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, located in the Audi booth 1130 in North Hall. The room will also contain an impressive array of Bang & Olufsen products, including:
- 18 fully active Bang & Olufsen speakers, including seven floor standing BeoLab 5's and ceiling mounted BeoLab 3's, all showcasing the patented acoustic lens technology as seen in B&O car audio systems
- More than 20 KW of ICEpower amplification built in the speakers
- A 103" BeoVision 4 plasma TV, the ultimate in home cinema viewing
Meet our partners
Bang & Olufsen and Audi first began to cooperate in 2005 and have since introduced a number of innovations in car audio. We both share a focus on technological innovation as well as pioneering and innovative design. Now, we have teamed up with Fraunhofer IIS, a worldwide authority in the field of advanced audio and acoustic signal processing. Together we present the Audi Q7 Concept Car – a genuine landmark in car audio.
Bang & Olufsen
was founded in Struer, Denmark, in 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, two innovative, young engineers devoted to high quality audio reproduction. Since then, the brand has become an icon of performance and design excellence through its long-standing craftsmanship tradition and the strongest possible commitment to high-tech research and development.
Still at the forefront of domestic technology, Bang & Olufsen has extended its comprehensive experience with integrated audio and video solutions for the home to other areas such as the hospitality and automotive industries in recent years. Consequently, its current product range epitomizes seamless media experiences in the home as well as in the car and on the move.

What do a firewall and a fortress have in common? They are no longer strong enough to protect the valuables housed inside. Like the walls of an old fortress, the cracks in the firewall are allowing the bad guys to slip in - unannounced and unnoticed. By the time these thieves get in, the damage is already done and the network is already compromised. Intellectual property is easily slipped out the back door leaving no trace of forced entry.

Fundamentally, SDN is still mostly about network plumbing. While plumbing may be useful to tinker with, what you can do with your plumbing is far more intriguing. A rigid interpretation of SDN confines it to Layers 2 and 3, and that's reasonable. But SDN opens opportunities for novel constructions in Layers 4 to 7 that solve real operational problems in data centers. "Data center," in fact, might become anachronistic - data is everywhere, constantly on the move, seemingly always overflowing. Net...

This library provide a very simple authorization system. It should work fine with most of the authentication plugins (and gems) out there, even though little testing has been done in this regard. There are a lot of similar plugin/gems and probably this is not better than any others (see steffenbartsch.com/blog/2008/08/rails-authorization-plugins/ for a nice review). I already used it in several small projects and it worked great for my needs.
install the role_based_authorization by issuing:
gem install role_based_authorization
or by adding
config.gem "role_based_authorization"
to your rails config file and then running 'rake gems:install'
in your application controller: include the module RoleBasedAuthorization:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base […] include RoleBasedAuthorization […] end
in your controller classes: use the permission statements (described below) to grant and deny authorizations to the controller methods.
The inclusion of RoleBasedAuthorization serves three purposes: it allows subclasses of the application controller to use the 'permit' method during their definition, it and provides an "authorized?" method that implements the authorization logic, and it creates an helper method to be used in views.
The library poses few and very reasonable constraints on your application. Namely, it requires:
that your controllers provide a 'current_user' method
that the user object (returned by the 'current_user' method) implements the following two methods:
role: returning the role of the current user; roles can be anything (I personally use integers). This is usually implemented by adding a 'role' column to your model.
Permission statements
You can specify your authorization logic by adding a number of 'permit' calls to your controllers. Permissions granted in a controller apply to all its subclasses. Since usually all controllers inherit from the application controller, this allows one to authorize all actions for the 'admin' role by telling it so in the application controller.
An important thing to keep in mind is that role_based_authorization assumes that EVERYTHING IS FORBIDDEN unless otherwise specified. Then, if you do not specify any permission rule, you will end up with a very secure (though useless) application.
The permission statement takes the form:
permit :actions => [list of actions], :to => [list of roles], :if => lambda_expression, :object_id => object_id_symbol
you can add any number of these in anyone of your controller.
permit options:
the list of roles interested by this rule. The actual contents of this list depends on what your application defines to be a role. If you use integers, it could be a vector like [1,4] or as [ROOT, ADMIN], where ROOT and ADMIN are symbolic costants containing the corresponding integer values. You can specify all roles by specifying :all in place of the role list.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- We're learning more about the new SwedishAmerican Regional Cancer Center. The outpatient facility offers a wide range of treatment, all under one roof. Construction began last summer for the new center, which is located at Riverside and Bell School Road. Cancer patients will be able to choose how they want to get chemotherapy, which could be in a private or shared room and could watch TV or listen to music. Swedes' CEO says he wants to make sure residents have a calm atmosphere to help them through a tough time.
"If you can bring all of the pieces together, the physicians, the nurses, the caregivers, the technology that you need all under one roof, i think there's a sense of assurance that you're in a place that's going to give you the best possible care," said Dr. Bill Gorski, CEO at SwedishAmerican Health Systems
The building is expected to be finished in the summer. It officially opens to patients October 15th.

It's not about finding the right answers;

It's not about finding the right answers;
it's about asking the right questions.
Angel and I often forget to ask the right questions. We get so caught up in what we're doing that we lose track where we're going. We settle into comfortable routines, instead of confronting the challenges our dreams demand. Then, eventually, we lift our heads to the realization that the environment we've settled into leads to the answers to someone else's dream.
And that's when we catch ourselves – time to take a break, regroup, and ask ourselves the scary questions we've been avoiding.
Final Reminder: We recently released a limited time bundle for '1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently' that includes our eBook, audio book and bonus material on sale for a big discount.

This is your life story and you are the only author. If you're feeling like you've been stuck in the same setting for too long, it's time to start writing a new chapter of your life. The plot structure is simple: Doing nothing gets you nothing. Doing the wrong things gets you the wrong things. Doing the same things gets you the same things. Your story only changes when you make changes.
If you have an idea about what you want the next chapter of your life to look like, you have to DO things that support this idea . An idea, after all, isn't going to do anything for you until you do something productive with it. In fact, as long as that great idea is just sitting around in your head it's probably doing far more harm than good.

10 Amazing Foods for Kids
Jam-packed with vitamin A and folic acid, it'll also provide some vitamin C and iron. If your child turns up her nose at spinach, get creative. Dress it up (sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top) or sneak it into her favorite dishes -- baked into lasagna or meat loaf, pureed into tomato sauce, or layered in a sandwich instead of lettuce.
Next-best choice: Edamame, or soy beans, which are loaded with protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin C, plus a little fat. Kids love pushing the nutty-flavored peas out of the pods and into their mouths.
Picky-eater idea: A no-fail way to get 'em to eat the green stuff? Believe it or not, baked into brownies. Visit parents.com for our popular "They'll never know there's spinach in it!" brownie recipe.

I hear that Washington State, Canada and Oregon are already way ahead of the "open house" stage and a lot more politically involved than Californians in the HSR dept.
Our best example is the repair of the Bay Bridge which began before flat screen plasma/LCD TV was in everyone's homes.

Perhaps the high speed rail folks can explain why their many predicted San Francisco patrons can't cross a platform to connect with upgraded Caltrains at San Jose's Diridon station like they do in NY. This would avoid destroying valuable residential and business property in Atherton, Menlo Park and Palo Alto. There is room for a third track for express train passing within the existing ROW st current grade, accommodating grade separation without a great wall of China splitting our towns. It would increase rather than decrease caltrain ridership.
Wouldn't this be a win win result? Of course, developers who are salivating at the opportunity to profit from the property wreckage created by the current plan would have to look elsewhere.

A solar charge controller regulates the voltage and current coming from your solar panels which is placed between a solar panel and a battery .It is used to maintain the proper charging voltage on the batteries. As the input voltage from the solar panel rises, the charge controller regulates the charge to the batteries preventing any over charging.

PC sound cards form a readily available Signal Generator for testing electronic circuits. The utility of these signal generators is limited because the outputs are AC coupled and limited to ±2V.
Taking advantage of the two channels provided by the sound card this Instructable shows a scheme which uses one channel to output the Sin/Square/Triangle waveform with a fixed gain, while setting up a 441 Hz PWM square wave on the second channel. This PWM waveform is converted to ±8V averaged and summed with the first channel to provide a DC offset controllable by the duty-cycle setting.

This relatively simple circuit uses a 6-V DC supply with a PWM current-source configuration to provide efficient, adjustable dimming of a white LED over a wide range, needed to accommodate the unique lighting needs of an optical microscope over its magnification range from 40× to 1000×. by James Campbell
When the built-in incandescent light source of my venerable Olympus microscope failed after many years of use, I decided to design a reliable modern replacement. A 1-W white LED (SEOUL X42182, 350 mA max, Vf = 3.25 V) was the obvious choice to provide high brightness and full-spectrum light without the heat of incandescent or xenon arc lamps. The microscope lamp brightness needs to be adjustable, however, to accommodate the different objective lenses, which offer magnifications from 40× to 1000×.

A few days ago I wrote a blog post about Arduino and EMI. By using fast PWM and a plain breadboard wire, I was able to detect electromagnetic interference using a usb TV tuner, with its antenna near my circuit. Not only that, but by manipulating duty cycle to create a primitive form of amplitude modulation, I was able to transfer through EMI a very simple audible signal (few notes of one of the most famous riffs) in many frequencies and up to 1.76GHz

LED drivers are electrical devices that regulate the power of LEDs. What makes them different from conventional power supplies is their ability to respond to the ever-changing need of LEDs in a circuit by supplying a constant amount of power as electrical properties change with temperature.
The PCA9622 is an I2C-bus controlled 16-bit LED driver optimized for voltage switch dimming and blinking 100 mA Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) LEDs. Each LED output has its own 8-bit resolution (256 steps) fixed frequency individual PWM controller that operates at 97 kHz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % to allow the LED to be set to a specific brightness value. An additional 8-bit resolution (256 steps) group PWM controller has a fixed frequency of 190 Hz and an adjustable frequency between 24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % that is used to either dim or blink all LEDs with the same value.
These LED drivers are based on system-centric, mixed-signal LED driver technology for backlighting and solid-state lighting (SSL) applications. This broad-based and rapidly growing market includes LCD TVs, PC monitors, specialty panels (industrial, military, medical, avionics, etc.) and general illumination for the commercial, residential, industrial and government market segments. LED drivers utilize a proprietary and patented combination of analog and digital circuit techniques and power control schemes.

"Click And See " is a system supporting the search of electronic components. The idea came during yesterday's shopping in one of the electronics stores , cabinets with electronic components fill the entire wall. When buying several different components , the seller needs time to find them first in your computer , then in the appropriate bins , and the queue of customers getting longer … To facilitate this, I designed a simple , wireless and easy to expand the system to highlight the drawer of the element that want to buy .

Nick Leijenhorst build a 555 PWM circuit to dim his room LED lighting. He writes:
I wanted to dim my room LED lighting with a potentiometer, and decided on creating a solution from scratch to make it more fun and educative. I decided to go with the fairly well-known 555 PWM circuit. To decrease size and for learning purposes I decided on using surface-mount components for the first time. The reason I wanted to make this 555 PWM circuit is actually just to see if I could solder SMD components on home-etched PCB's, and to see how hard it actually is.
Surface-mount 555 PWM circuit - [Link]
by Aruna Rubasinghe:
The LM317T from National Semiconductor is a popular adjustable-voltage regulator that provides output voltages of 1.25 to 37V with maximum 1.5A current. You can adjust the output voltage with a potentiometer. The circuit in Figure 1 replaces the potentiometer with an analog voltage that you can control from a PWM (pulse-width-modulation) signal. You control this signal with a microcontroller or any other digital circuit. You can use the same microcontroller to dynamically monitor the output and adjust the LM317T.

Embedded Lab's new development board for PIC12F series microcontrollers:
The 12F series of PIC microcontrollers are handy little 8-pin devices designed for small embedded applications that do not require too many I/O resources, and where small size is advantageous. These applications include a wide range of everyday products such as hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, rice cookers, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, and blenders. Despite their small size, the PIC12F series microcontrollers offer many advanced features including wide operating voltage, internal programmable oscillator, 4 channels of 10-bit ADC, on-board EEPROM memory, on-chip voltage reference, multiple communication peripherals (UART, SPI, and I2C), PWM, and more. Today we are introducing a new development board (rapidPIC-08 V1.0) for easy and rapid prototyping of standalone applications using PIC12F microcontrollers.

I always stay here when I'm not staying at my parents house. I grew up in Cebu and have always heard things about this hotel. This used to be the former Cebu Plaza Hotel. A few changes here and there with regards to the hotel structure but the location remains excellent. But I'm disappointed about the new condo that's being built fronting the hotel swimming pool therefore blocking a partial view of the city from the El Viento pool bar. Staff service remains at par with other hotel establishments. Over all, this hotel is one the best value for money in Cebu City.

Complaining about looking "super young" could just be the ultimate humblebrag. If so, Rachel Bilson is guilty. The 31-year-old Hart of Dixie tells Women's Health UK's March 2013 issue her youthful appearance has caused some travel confusion. "I know I look super young," she says. "I was flying back home into Lax the other day and the security guard at the airport stopped me and said, 'Honey, where's your family?' And I'm like, 'I'm 31!' "Maybe when I'm 40 I'll appreciate it, but as I get older and get wrinkles I'm worried it'll be, 'She's the weirdest-looking teenager I've ever seen.'" Well, Rachel, »
