I just bought this 2 weeks ago after falling in love with the matching cleanser. i was looking for a product that was unscented, had no spf, made of natural ingredients that wouldn't break me out, and had lots of good stuff in it like antioxidants and anti-ageing ingredients. i found all of that in this moisturizer and i love it. i was just using jergens body lotion before, and while it worked fine i noticed that it had parabens in it and i don't really want any of that on my skin anymore. Enter Trader Joe's facial moisturizer :) so far my skin is super happy, hopefully it only gets better from here.

I love this product! My skin reacts to too much fragrance, so having a moisturizer that I can use daily without fear of irritation is amazing. It is lightweight and I don't need to use a lot to cover my whole face. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now, and will definitely be purchasing again.

Excellent light moisturizer. I need to add something heavier in the dead of winter but this is good most of the year. I have found that it doesn't irritate or break out my skin. But the real reason I love it is that I add a pump or to to my damp HAIR after washing and it seems to add texture and style without making me breakout (a major problem with most hair products for me). It's also good on dry hair to tamp it down a bit when it's frizzy or too big. For reference, I have medium density fine texture hair with a slight natural wave. This might not do much for courser texture hair but it is worth a try. It's so cheap and a bottle lasts quite a while. It also has a very neutral smell, which I prefer. I honestly have to wonder if more expensive products are worth it when something this affordable works so well.

was looking for a simple, oil free/non fragrance daytime moisturizer for my sensitive combo (major oily t zone, dry cheeks) skin. this fits the bill. its not greasy and absorbs quickly. 1 pump is enough for my entire face and neck. no fragrance is a huge plus-why do companies put that in face products i will never understand. there are too many of us with sensitive skin! super cheap for the amount you get and comes in a pump spout. my skin feels moisturized yet light and matte. good stuff! 5 stars for not breaking me out, good ingredients, cheap and lots of product :)

This product is a great moisturizer when you first buy it- however I have noticed that it gets thicker when the bottle is half (or more) empty. (and I prefer the "new bottle" consistency). That said, I was able to make that discovery because I have used and repurchased more than one bottle - this is a good value.

Did a pretty good job making my face soft. Pretty good quality ingredients -- EXCEPT retinol.
Attention: since this product contains retinol, it should only be worn during the night, because retinol breaks down and becomes carcinogenic when exposed to sunlight. No bueno, so I'm reducing a lippie.
**Update: after using this a month or two, I still have peeling dry spots in my T-zone. It did NOTHING for my dry facial skin after the first time I used it.

I LOVE this facial moisturizer. I'm picky about smells (I find perfumey fake smells make me nauseous at night time), and I hate it when the lotion doesn't sink into my face.
I bought this on a semi-whim on a trip to Trader Joe's. I say semi because I read the ingredients and was incredibly happy to see 1) sodium hyaluronate (helps to retain moisture to skin = how to keep your skin looking youthful), and 2) nothing ending in -paraben. The whim part was I shoved it into my shopping basket when I saw it was $6 (as of October 2012 it's still $6). (I also bought the accompanying cleanser - will review that as well).
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL MY LIFE. I've been very disappointed with high end brands such as Lancome, Shiseido, Kate whatever, high end Asian brands that cost $300 for 2 bottles of goop, etc etc). For a while I just stopped using facial moisturizers all together and decided to accept looking like I was afflicted with some kind of skin disorder.
Not even joking. I have combo skin (super-dry flakey cheeks/chin, semi-oily but also flakey forehead - it's weird), and this is the only facial moisturizer that has smoothed down the dry flakiness, kept my skin moisturized without resulting in slippery oiliness, and free of parabens.
Also, NO WEIRD PERFUME SMELLS. Thank you dear dermatologist who has released this wonderful gift at a wonderful price... I love you...
Edit: December 2, 2012
It is 2 months later, and I still love this facial moisturizer. I've used 40% of the bottle, and I cannot find myself going to another facial moisturizer right now. I use 1 pump in the morning beneath my sunblock, and 2 pumps at night. It's so good, I think on my next trip to Trader Joe's I'll pick up a back-up bottle cause I'd absolutely HATE to go a morning or a night without this moisturizer. That is definitely the first time I've ever said such a thing about a moisturizer. This must be true love. <3

I've been using this for almost 2 months with the matching cleanser. This is my new HG. I love it.
-very moisturizing (helped hydrate and eliminate the fine lines I was getting from my retinol drying me out).
-Improved skin tone
-Has pretty much all of the ingredients I've wanted in a moisturizer (aloe,glycerin, vitamin k, collagen, copper,Co Q10, vitamin e and a, green tea etc)
- Not to mention its sooo cheap, I use it all over my neck.
- It did give me a couple of small blackheads (not noticeable with makeup on). So I went back to using my retinol in the pm (and this in the AM, instead of using this twice a day. It cleared it up).

Only tried this product a few times, worked ok, moisturized well without being greasy. Discovered though, that this product labeled vegan both on packaging and in store has soluble collagen, hydrolyzed silk and vitamin D3, all of which are not vegan in it. I know I should have read it, but trusted them.

The first time I used this product I was a little worried because I have oily skin. It doesn't do anything to combat oil, but I find it to be really good for my skin. I only use it at night before I go to bed (since I'm not going to be worrying about an oily face when I sleep!). I find that in the morning my skin looks very refreshed, and has that nice plump look. My skin is also acne prone and this moisturizer is gentle enough that it doesn't aggravate my acne at all. The pump on the bottle is nice, especially since you can turn it to lock in case you want to take it with you somewhere. If you read the ingredient label you will find that it contains a lot of really good stuff, including vitamin A (retinol) which is one of the best things for both acne and wrinkles. Like other Trader Joe's products it's affordable and natural.

A lot of what has been said about this moisturizer I agree with. It's a winner for sure. It's cheap, effective, the price point is budget friendly and it was developed by an anonymous dermatologist who sells a similar product in his office for much more money.
It's paraben free and the pump means a lot less germs for those of us who worry about transferring bacteria, etc. 1 pump is plenty, almost a teaspoonful which means I can coat my throat and face really well. For now I'm using this at night because it has no SPF. It mixes well with a drop of jojoba, which I use to give my skin a little more moisture.
My skin feels nice and moist afterwards and I can still apply my (heaver) eye cream over it and my actives under it. I'm using this with caution based on what lexabee wrote about it containing ingredients that *may* breakout acne prone skin. I've been using it for a week and so far, so good.
Will update if I experience any changes.

I would have passed this by (and many other excellent TJ brand beauty items,) if not for repeated mentions of trader joe's on both hair and skincare board. Its been surprisingly difficult to find a good night cream for my clog-prone, mid-twenties, confused skin--cerave (cream and PM,) cetaphil, atopalm MLE, rosehip/argan oil, vanicream, nivea, etc, none were quite right. Too thick, clogged my pores, left my skin greasy, or not moisturizing enough. I doubted a $5.99 moisturizer would be much better, but before splurging on LRP or avene, I gave TJ's a shot.
Mother of god. It's perfect. One pump is perfect for face and neck, it's unscented, has no scary additives to break a girl out, and combines beautifully with jojoba oil, which I use at night. Its also perfect for daytime use because it soaks in so quickly, and doesn't ball up underneath my sunscreen (either LRP anthelios or L'Oreal silk SPF 50.) i honestly believe that if this product had a different label on it it would cost about 5x as much. Until my skin makes another big change, I'm considering my search for a night cream over. Yay!

i worked in a place who sold high-end skin care! This has many things in it that are awesome. Its even parben free, oil and fragrance free. It has coffee in it for skin tightening, vitamin c for anti aging and hyper pigmentation, vitamin A for anti aging, pomegranate an antioxidant, coenzyme Q10, chamomile &aloe to sooth skin, vitamin K, and shea butter.Many ingredients that are in high end moisterizers. It goes into your skin easily and doesnt have a greasy feeling. I recomend it for all skin type but people who tend to break out. It has ingredients that you can pronounce.

This is a great moisturizer if you DO NOT have acne prone skin. Despite being oil free and fragrance free, the major problem people with acne prone skin will have with this is the fact that it contains ethylhexyl palmitate, an ingredient which is highly comedogenic and should not be used if you have acne prone skin. It caused me to break out, and even though Trader Joe's markets this moisturizer toward those with acne prone skin because of how gentle it is, it can still cause breakouts in some people including myself. Im not going to give it a low rating, because other than the silly ethylhexyl palmitate being waaaay high up in the ingredients list, It is a great moisturizer.

Initial review was written after a month and half of usage, please scroll down for updates.
My skin type: sensitive, acne-prone, oily.
Like the other reviewers here, I had been using the cleanser for a while before I decided to try this out as well. I've been trying to go as simplistic as possible with my facial skincare. No fragrances, no clogging ingrediants, nothing heavy that was going to break me out. I spotted this and decided to go for it.
It's pretty basic, and it seems to do everything it says it does. It's lightweight, fragrance free, doesn't clog me up. I cannot at this point say if it is breaking me out because I breakout constantly and with little provocation, but this doesn't seem to be hurting.
Packaging is excellent. All skincare products should come with a mandatory pump like this and the its cleanser counterpart.
I'll have to wait and see after a couple months how this is holding up on my skin (hopefully my skin will have cleared up more by then) but until then this gets a solid 5/5 from me.
EDIT 08/11/12: I believe this may be aiding the clogging up my skin and possibly breaking me out. I also don't really feel like this is moisturizing my skin much. It sits on my skin and I guess it doesn't really do much else. I've since switched to another moisturizer and not only is my overall skin improving, but I have not seen a breakout since. My skin feels much more moisturized now and I don't see as much oil on my face as when I was using this. I don't think I'll be going back.
EDI 05/15/13: So in my last update I had set this moisturizer aside in favor of jojoba oil cleansing and an Aveeno moisturizer. My skin was doing very well at first, but over time my routine just wasn't cutting it. I am now back to using this as a basic moisturizer and I have to say, its pretty darn good. Doesn't break me out or clog me up. I do have to say that sometimes I don't feel like its quite moisturizing enough at night, but it does a great job as a daytime moisturizer in the summer. The trick to apply this (and any moisturizer) is by sheering it out between your fingers (or against the back of your hand) and then patting it in sections all over the face so that its all evenly distributed and you're not over applying.
So far, my skin looks amazing. This may just be my HG daytime/summer basic moisturizer. Its possible I'll repurchase this but I would like to try out the popular Olay Complete moisturizer after this one. At least now I know that if I have a bad reaction or breakout to another moisturizer, I can just come back to this one and my face will calm down again.
For anyone's who's interested, my skin routine is as follows:
-Purpose Cleanser
-Trader Joe's Nourish Moisturizer
-Purpose Cleanser
-Microfiber wash cloth every other day
(I apply cleanser all over my face, let it sit for a minute, then wet my washcloth and gently run it over my face.)
-Stridex Maximum Strength Pads (red box)
-La Roche Posey Thermal Spring Water
-Trader Joe's Nourish Moisturizer
-An extremely small and sheer amount of Vaseline, particularly around my eyes to lock in moisture
I am considering adding/changing:
-Cerave PM moisturizer
-Olay Complete as a AM moisturizer in winter
-An antioxidant serum
-Switching my cleanser to Bioderma Crealine H2O Micellar Solution (possibly only in the daytime, but I'll test out both)
In addition to these products, I've also made some necessary lifestyle choices that helped get rid of my acne:
-I stopped drinking milk and eating cheese and yogurt
-I've cut out all red meat from my diet
-I drink only water
-I take an Omega-3 suppliment every night before bed/after dinner
-I exercise regularly
I'm not so great at getting to bed before 12 and staying away from junk food, but I do try my best!

I was looking for an everyday moisturizer that was spf and oil free. I am in love with the Nourish cleanser so I picked this up for cheap at Trader Joe's. This stuff is non-greasy and it didn't make me itch! I am pretty pale so I didn't really notice a white cast. Unfortunately this is very clogging for me. Within 2 uses I had those clogged flesh colored bumps along my jawline and nose, and though it didn't itch, I was getting those small red irritation spots on my cheeks. I have been able to use this around my eyes with no problems or milia so I will use it up for that. Oh and I love the pump!!
I am very clog prone so I don't think it's fair for me to give this a bad rating when it's something I figured my skin type couldn't handle, so I gave it 3 lippies based on what it is. It's a non-greasy, spf and oil free moisturizer with some good ingredients at a great price. If you typically use creamy moisturizers with no problems I would recommend you pick this up and give it a shot. Just watch out if you are clog prone; personally I don't think I can handle anything creamy and will try gel moisturizers next.

I have sensitive combination skin, prone to both acne and dryness with flaking. I was looking for an affordable moisturizer *without* SPF to use at night.
This product is very good for the price, and works for me as a night moisturizer for most of the year (in the dryest months, though, my skin is too dry for it). It doesn't make me feel greasy, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, doesn't break me out, and doesn't pill up when applied over treatment products. It performs as well as some of the pricier moisturizers I've tried.
However, while it's not greasy, it doesn't sink in perfectly and doesn't leave a super matte finish -- it takes a few minutes to fully absorb. I use something more matte and with some SPF for day, especially because of my very fair sensitive skin.

I've been using the cleanser for 2 months now and love it, so I decided to get the moisturizer, too. At $5.99 for a 6 oz bottle, this stuff is amazing. It definitely leaves a matte finish (unlike most low-end moisturizers that often leave you feeling/looking greasy). I have dry skin and find that when I use a small amount (1 pump for the whole face) it sinks right in and does not have trouble absorbing like others have mentioned. I also did not notice any white cast when using that amount. One thing I did notice is a faint scent of bad fruit, but that disappears after a few seconds. This is a light moisturizer that is just rich enough to cancel out any drying/tightening effects of washing your face, leaving your face perfectly balanced.
UPDATE: This is just not moisturizing enough, and it's starting to break me out. If I use too little, my T zone dries up. If I use more, it leaves a film. It's going back.

The No. 1 Reason Why Companies Fail
When a company goes out of business or sells at a discount to its last round of funding, spectators ask the obvious question: What happened?
There are typically three possible explanations: wrong team, wrong market, or insufficient funding. While these are the most discussed causes, the list does not include the most common reason why companies fail, especially in digital advertising (a market that's growing like crazy): they do not sufficiently align their incentives with the incentives of their clients.
Digital advertising has become increasingly more complex, esoteric, and competitive. I've even asserted that digital advertising is becoming (if it isn't already there) the most efficient scaled advertising in the history of the world.
Throughout the short but rapid history of online advertising, we've been constantly iterating with business models. Take the ad network, for example. The earliest ad networks were really created as a means to create liquidity, but came with a cost. To get higher volumes and aggregate a bunch of publishers, you paid a higher CPM.
In 2013, the premium that the market charges for liquidity began shrinking. Compared to the old network models, exchanges and SSPs offer massive scale and charge lower margins to the publishers. And of course, some ad networks are still thriving, and that's because they have evolved and are better aligning their interests with their clients.
The biggest flaw of the old ad network model was an inherent conflict of interest. A network would sell to an advertiser and promise a CPM as low as possible. But then someone on the other side of their office was on the phone with a publisher – also a client – saying they would try to deliver the highest CPM possible. As middlemen, ad networks have historically operated on pretty big margins by making money on both ends of the ecosystem. That kind of markup is only sustainable if the network adds a lot value. The best and brightest networks today are shifting their business model and finding ways – whether through technology, service or performance – to justify their margins.
Even newer companies in the RTB space have reduced their chances of success by trying to do too much. They are trying to be sell-side, exchange-side, and buy-side all at the same time. A business model that broad makes it impossible to create strong partnerships and lasting client relationships. With a charter that wide, a company has to be all RTB things to all RTB people, very similar to the old ad network model. In the meantime, pure-play companies on the buy-side or sell-side are fiercely competing with these companies, regardless of how much money they have. The pure plays are focused on one thing while these companies are focused on many.
This is why businesses should focus on being a pure play. And it's why some ad networks have made the transition and others have not. Those best positioned for the future understand that in the end we're all extensions of one of three constituent: the advertiser, the publisher, or the market.
Agencies, some networks, DSPs, and agency trading desks are advocating for the buy side. They are here for the long term. SSPs, some networks, and sale houses are focused on publishers, and publishers trust them as a result. They're here for the long term, too. Publishers know that they're representing them as best as they possibly can.
But there remain many companies, many very large and influential, that want to represent all sides, and they have a massive conflict of interest. Long term, unless these companies figure out where they stand, their ability to do well in this space is going to be in jeopardy.
And here's something else that may be more significant than anything else: as consolidation in this space begins to occur, pure play companies will remain independent. And independence will become more and more valuable as time goes on. For instance, if Google or Microsoft ever gets to the point where they don't allow each other to buy each other's traffic, the only way to buy traffic from both exchanges is to use an independent partner.
Bottom line, we've turned a particular corner of efficiency. Going forward, the companies most likely to succeed are pure plays.
4 comments on "The No. 1 Reason Why Companies Fail ".
This is a great assessment, Jeff, I agree wholeheartedly. The mush that occurs in the race to the middle, where a company tries to be everything to everyone, is a direct obstruction to the long-term success that can come with a unique and differentiated service offering. One question, who do you think are some of the pure plays who are best positioned to be relevant in the long term?
Hi Tim .... "We are positioned to deliver an open, independent marketplace by leveraging our existing search advertising platform." ..."When discussing game-changing events for online advertising with our customers and partners, there is strong consensus regarding the significant value an integrated Search & Display open marketplace would have for them." An opinion: http://tiny.cc/vg48rw
How about simply... it was a bad idea. There are so very many of those. Just because it gets financed does not mean it should have been.
"Wrong team, wrong market, or insufficient funding" are good points, but should not mean a business should fail--especially if they had a sound business plan/strategy which would have addressed: the company's vision, team needs, target market, and amount of funding needed. -Naheem (@yungbfromfarlin)

The first week since the release of Mists of Pandaria is almost behind us. I took some time off, while I leveled my character to level 90 and so far I must admit I'm loving the expansion. The new zones are very neatly designed and the quest flow is awesome.
Throughout the leveling process, I experienced some difficulties which were fault of my own, such as wearing heroic Dragon Soul gear up to level 90, because of the set bonus and leveling in fire spec.
As a fire mage it wasn't easy to level in Dread Wastes. The mobs hit for a lot of damage, have a fairly large health pool (something that wasn't seen in WoW yet, you could almost two shot mobs in Hyjal if you remember) and not to mention their quantity. I had to use Evocation on every cooldown. Leveling from 89-90 was really a p
Brewfest Celebration Guide
By: Stan D in defaultposted at 4:19 am Sep 28,2012 - 1
The Brewfest Festival has started today and will end October, 13. The original date has been postponed by a week due to Mists of Pandaria release, so that players would have enought time to queue for the Coren Direbrew boss encounter via dungeon finder.
The Brewfest meta-achievement is a requirement if you want to obtain the Violet Proto-drake mount (for which you must complete all celebrations throughout the year.)
The Achievements
Here's a list of mandatory achievements of the meta.
The Brewfest Diet
Very simple to finish, just sample the food/drinks from the vendors in the camps outside Orgrimmar/Ironforge. The consumables can be bought at a very cheap price.
Brew of the Month
Your main resource are the Brewfest tokens, which you obtain from completing daily quest or for killing C
Pirates' Day Event Coming Tomorrow
By: Stan D in defaultposted at 9:19 am Sep 18,2012 - 0
Some years ago, Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers and John "Ol'Chumbucket" Baur (the co-authors of the book Pirattitude) figured that being a pirate was such a fine thing that it should be celebrated. Their associate Dread Captain DeMeza thought a capital idea, and Pirates' Day was born.
When? September 19th
Where? Booty Bay, Stranglethorn Vale
On one day only, September 19, you too can celebrate Pirates' Day. Rumor has it that Dread Captain DeMeza herself will invade Booty Bay, bringing corsairs and cannons to fire on approaching vessels. Keep an eye out for First Mate Hapana, and expect to see commoners in pirate garb in capital cities. Ask them to help you dress like a pirate, and join in the fun.

Today, we'll have a look at one of the initial raids of the forthcoming expansion Mists of Pandaria, Mogu'shan Vaults.
MOGU'SHAN VAULTS is one of the three new raids that will be opened in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. The six-boss raid invites you to explore the hidden secrets of the elusive Mogu empire, one of the new indigenous Pandarian races.
The entrance to the Vaults is found in northeast Kun-Lai Summit, accessed on Mogu'shan Terrace, overlooking the Zouchin Provice far below.
Normal mode will open October 2, 2012. LFR mode opens October 7, 2012. LFR is split into two raids (3 bosses/raid) similarly, to Dragon Soul.
The mogu, proud of their supremacy, kept lengthy records of their accomplishments within a great complex of vaults. Guarded by ferocious magical beings, th

It's been a while, since Blizzard released the Armory app for android/iOS devices. It offers the same as the full website armory - you can view your character's gear, talents, glyphs and a 3D model.
Two of the services required a monthly subscription until now. These were the Remote Guild Chat and Remote Auction House.
Remote Guild Chat allows you to chat in the guild, through your smartphone or to send/receive whispers pushed to notifications.
While the free version of the Remote Auction House only offers you to brows auctions and see sold items in your mailbox, the paid one allowed you to bid/buy items directly from the auction house or even create/cancel your own auctionswithin the app itself as well as gather colelcted gold
Now the app has become free of charge. Any

I've found some new neat mounts in the game files of the upcoming expansion.
At this time I have really no idea where they drop, but my wild guess would be that they will be rewarded through exalted reputation, Glory of Pandaria Hero, Glory of Pandaria Raider 10/25 versions and some may also land on the Blizzard Store.
I'll start with my favorite one - Green Cloud Serpent
There are various recolors of the same mount - Blue Cloud Serpent

Not like it's really needed. I bet my next glass of Scotch the newly released PCI-E 3 graphics cards don't even fully saturate 2.0. Having the next step up was never really a concern for me personally. I suppose the only thing having 3 would be good for is Intel's stupid idea of lane sharing for SLI/Xfire. 8x/8x on a mainstream 3.0 board would essentially be 16/16 in 2.0. Even then, I don't even think but the high high end cards (like 6990, 590 ect) saturate even 8x 2.0. Could be wrong, but just my opinion since I don't buy higher end cards.
Most people buying 1155 these days are going Z68. Even if P67 wasn't supported, I'm sure if people bought that board they won't be jumping on the next die shrink any time soon. It's safe to say that most people buying Intel don't expect half assed upgrades like AMD. In other words 50 million different CPUs across 3 sockets.Turd

Yeah that's no doubt true on the Pci-Ex bandwidth. You'd have to really count on a HUGE leap in GPU power coming in the next couple years for it to be useful anytime soon. TechPowerUp has shown with bench tests that the GTX 480 and HD 5870 exceed Pci-Ex 2.0 x8 bandwidth by only 2%. That's pretty telling in itself how much headroom there is even in Pci-Ex 2.0. Take 4 times that for one Pci-Ex 3.0 x16 slot, and you have enough bandwidth to last for years. It begs the question if SLI/Crossfire are really necessary. I haven't checked the wattage handling of Pci-Ex 3 vs Pxi-Ex 2, but if it's higher, THAT may be one of the best reasons to buy into it. The upcoming GPUs will be 28nm, but if they cram a lot onto one GPU, they still might draw even more power. You never know though, it could end up being like HDD tech. Theoretically a SATA II drive has PLENTY of data transfer speed in it's interface to produce much higher write speeds than you see on SATA II drives, but only the SATA III drives get the tech necessary to produce such results. That's one thing I don't like about the PC industry, they always push the new standards before fully utilizing the ones they replace. Planned obsolescence.
As to the first part, there is a market for multi-GPU systems because it indeed works. I'm not gonna lie, if I had the cash I would have bought a better P55 board to fully utilize both of my 465s. Since I didn't have the cash, I opted to trade for better water parts on the quest for a silent PC. According to the wiki maximum slot power is still 75w for slot, 75w for 6pin, and 150w for 8pin.
As to the standards, well it has to be around before companies start making products for it. Then it takes a while for said products to be released, then adopted (which usually is the longest part).
As to the SATA2 thing, there are plenty of SSD's out there that can fully saturate the SATA2 bus. For instance,
285/275MB/s burst and a sustained write of 250MB almost caps the 384MB/s theoretical limit. SATA3 is double that and is almost completely saturated as well. Couple hundred more MB/s with a new controller and SSD's will cap that too. It is my opinion that SSD technology is actually held back by current controllers. A PCI-E SSD can do double and triple that of SATA SSD's yet SATA3 drives have managed only a mere 500+MB/s. If you are talking strictly mechanical, well then PATA 133 was fine for them lol. I'll be the first to say that the only reason I adopted the SATA standard was because I had ports and the cable was smaller for better management in my case.Turd

I guess I didn't explain that is SLI/Xfire really necessary comment very well. I meant if they could use anywhere NEAR the bandwidth of even just a Pci-Ex 2.0 x16 slot on one card. Clearly there's enough bandwidth there for far more powerful cards than we've seen so far, but the power efficiency has to be there first.
The next line of 28nm GPUs hopefully will be a good step in that direction. Frankly I'd like to see the multiple card thing become obsolete, but power and thermal efficiency has a long way to go to catch up with the bandwidth, even Pci-Ex 2.0 bandwidth. The Pci-Ex power handling to bandwidth ratio is one thing that is taking some time to balance out.
On SATA II vs III, obviously I meant HDDs, like I said. A lot of people are looking back and saying, wait, why haven't they made any faster SATA II HDDs if they can make SATA III ones that fast. Clearly it's not due to the interface. Sure SSDs are fast and trendy, but the price to capacity ratio is still off putting, and they have their quirky ways that require a lot of OS feature disabling, and they degrade in performance over time. Still though, I eventually plan to have at least one 120-128GB SATA III SSD, half of it to be used for OS and apps, the other half probably for Smart Response.Last edited by Frag Maniac; 11-16-2011 at 08:38 AM.
Well to be realistic if things continue the way they are the cards will never exceed or come close to the bandwidth offered by the slots. I think they learned their lesson with AGP on that one. With that being said, I really dont ever see SLI/Xfire going away because instead of dropping a ton of cash on a single monolithic GPU it is easier to buy a cheaper one and add later. It is also a good way for businesses to make more cash for people buying multiple cards.
The extra bandwidth provided on SATA is strictly for SSDs and mechanical drive caching. I see mechanical sticking around for a while, but eventually it is going the way of the do-do. Idk about anybody else, but I don't need to do mass amounts of tweaking for my SSD and after a few years of strong use it still benches what it was initially rated at. For being a first gen I'd say that's rather good considering I tossed Windows 98 at it........which was a rather dumb idea. I think article writers back in the day added paranoia because of a "decreased" life span to SSD's when in fact the life span of 24/7 constant I/O is 5+ years depending on the drive. I don't plan on sticking to this SSD in 3-5 years lol and anybody who will drop money on an SSD strictly for performance wont either. In that regard, lifespan for non-storage usage is kinda moot. Do I think SSD's will overtake mechanical drives for long term storage? No, not in a long shot, but I do hope they take over mainstream day to day use soon so the $/GB goes down.Turd

Yes, of course there's little to no risk of exceeding Pci-Ex bandwidth with their having gone to 3.0, I'm not arguing that at all. I'm saying, as always, they trickle out tech to juice profits out of many levels and units of it piecemeal vs giving us more simplified and robust hardware to begin with. Planned obsolescence is a big part of PC biz both financially and psychologically. Lots of consumers get caught up by it thinking they need to keep upgrading every couple years because of it, and it actually does more harm than good when you consider many don't have the expertise or are afraid to learn how to choose and install parts, so they jump ship to console gaming.
Again, the point I was making about the differences in SATA bandwidth was not in reference to SSD application. I was merely stating they've almost entirely skipped over applying higher write speeds to SATA II HDDs, and only supported SATA III HDDs with it lately, yet most MBs that have SATA III only have two SATA III ports. The HDD write speeds I alluded to would be easily possible on SATA II drives, they just don't put the tech there. It has nothing to do with SATA III level bandwidth, because 158Mb/s is nowhere near SATA III's capability, yet only SATA III HDDs are that fast.
Your SSD testimonial is far from typical, esp for a first gen product. What SSD do you have? Surely you must have seen that even the top brands have forums with guides on how to prepare an SSD for long term use after the OS is installed? It basically involves turning off several write intensive OS features. SSDs have also undergone a fair number of changes in controller design, Nand and firmware, and the warranties, esp on first gen units, typically aren't as long as those of HDDs. I've also seen lots of customer testimonials saying performance degrades over time.Last edited by Frag Maniac; 11-16-2011 at 11:29 PM.
I know what you're saying with the drives. I'm saying it is moot because you can't "upgrade" write speeds on a mechanical drive without giving it a ton of cache....which is the second thing I said SATA3 is good for. Faster bus to support the onboard RAM cache in mechanical drives means longer and quicker burst speeds. Still though, it will never change sustained reads and writes of mechanical drives unless they have come up with some miraculous technology that supersedes the limits. Which is why you see no "improvement" between SATA1, 2 and 3 HDDs.
Far from typical? No, I just don't subconsciously get paranoid and think my drive is degrading simply because my Windows install is getting bloated. I have a first gen 64GB G.Skill drive. This one right here to be exact.
I still get 150MB/s read sustained and 75-90MB/s after all these years AND even after I thought I had destroyed it by installing Windows 98 on it as a test. Yes, I know of the many ridiculous guides out there and the only thing I do is disable pagefile which is something I've been doing a long time since before I had an SSD. Any other disabling I do is simply to rid Windows of it's bloatness and not simply because of my SSD. I also only install Windows, Firefox, and Xfire on my SSD and the rest goes on my HDD because the more you fill it up, the slower it goes. Most people can't tell the difference between actual degradation and simply having a horrible Windows install. I also changed the internal RAID settings on my SSD as well. I did it a while ago and can't remember exactly what the benefit was but I do remember doing it.Turd

You're still not getting it. You don't NEED to go with a SATA III interface on a HDD to get 150Mb/s plus write speeds. They merely supply only the SATA III HDDs with the necessary cache to sell SATA III to the public as the new interface, long before SATA II was ever fully, or even near fully tapped in it's potential. Yet where are the MBs with multiple SATA III ports? Most only have 2, as I said.
Yeah right, like OCZ and other top manufacturers of SSDs are telling people to disable not just page file, but restore point, write caching, etc, to boost performance, just for the hell of it? You own an SSD, but it sounds like you're not quite in the loop as to the problems, actual problems not these noob paranoid reactions you claim.
I've come to recall how pointless it is chatting with you in your last two responses. I think you're living in fantasy world kid.
Living in a fantasy world? Dude, you were the one so set on claiming my computer couldn't max Metro2033 but yet I proved it to you and you still thought it was fake. Maybe you should take heed that I have quite a bit of experience with computers beyond what you are able to comprehend. Just because I'm young doesn't mean I don't have years of experience. On the flip side, guys stuck in the old school have loads of experience but yet still can't top me in what I know. Hasn't it occurred to you that I've been in the SSD field since they were brought a long, and since mine STILL performs the way it is meant to that it might mean I know a thing or 2 about them? I'm completely in the loop of SSD's and know exactly what each and every "disable" means and what it is intended to stop. Do I do them? No, because they aren't necessary and it's quite obvious. Oh wait, but you missed on key point in my past posts. I said it doesn't mean I didn't already disable those Windows features before I got an SSD. So, in plain English what that means is over half the things these stupid little guides tell you to disable I had already been disabling them before SSD's became popular. I've disabled restore since early XP, write caching since ME, superfetch since Vista, and the list goes on. The noob paranoidness comes from people thinking this will drastically raise the life span of their SSD but when in all reality it doesn't matter anyways. The people experiencing drastic slow downs is because of their constant benching, constantly installing a load of crap on their SSD, viral infections causing tons of I/O, failing to swap a page file or disabling it, RAID, crap FW, and the list goes on. The guides are simply there to make people feel better about their purchase when in all reality they will probably be replacing that drive way before it may die due to it's "lower" life span. That was my point all along and you clearly missed it.
You also missed the HDD point as well. SATA3 is there as a bus to raise the theoretical read/write limits of SSD's. HDD's simply have the interface for bigger caching and to sell to idiots who think having a SATA3 drive is faster than having a PATA drive. Other than that it means squat since you can't raise the read/write speeds of the already maxed out mechanical drive. Sheesh, I'm out.Turd

I have over 7 SSD's one of my old ones I gave away in a contest to Cody and it still works great. Do you think I bother turning all those things off anymore in Win 7. Noppers.. I Have a SSD that is 2 yrs old and still boots win 7 in a couple seconds. If you not an idiot with the drive then it will last. I have to agree with PP a little those guides are just to help the newbs feel better about their life span and expense.

Few companies know more about automatic transmissions than B&M Racing & Performance, which has been building high-performance automatic transmissions for 60 years. Cal Pony Cars was founded by Ray Harrington, a Mustang enthusiast who took his profession and turned it into high-quality reproduction parts for classic Mustangs. Ray noticed how much fabrication had to be done to swap an Automatic Overdrive (AOD) transmission into classic Mustangs. That's when he and his people went to work conceiving an all-in-one kit.
Follow along here as Gil Roiz at Mustangs Etc. replaces a '65 Mustang's C4 with a B&M AOD.
First, some history about Mustang transmission operation. Your Mustang's original C4 transmission has two shift control systems—the vacuum modulator (throttle valve) and a kick-down system. The AOD has one cable-controlled system. C4 shift points are controlled by a combination of intake manifold vacuum and kick-down lever position. In normal driving, the kick-down cable is not involved. However, the throttle valve is always working via manifold vacuum, which depends on how much throttle you're using. With light throttle and high intake manifold vacuum, control pressure is low and you get smooth shifts up or down.
As you step on the gas, intake vacuum drops and control pressure increases to both delay and firm the upshift. You want a firm upshift at open throttle for a solid transfer of power and minimal clutch and band slippage. Punch the throttle wide open and the kick-down cable contributes to even higher control pressure and the appropriate downshift to Second or First gear for that burst of power. You don't want low control pressure at wide-open throttle, which will cause slippage, extreme heat, and serious damage.
The AOD does not have a vacuum modulator, but instead a throttle valve cable that does the work of both a vacuum modulator and a kick-down linkage. Instead of getting a vacuum signal as an indication of throttle position like we see with the older C4, C6, and FMX transmissions, the AOD's TV cable yields actual throttle position via a direct mechanical cable connection.
Control pressure is modulated by how far the throttle valve cable is moved. The more you step on the gas, the higher control pressure becomes to both delay upshift and increase control pressure for firmness. Transmission professionals we've spoken with suggest you adjust the cable with the throttle closed (idle) and no cable slack, but no cable tension either. Then take your Mustang for a road test at light throttle. If the AOD upshifts too soon under mild acceleration with quick 1-2-3 upshifts (overdrive doesn't come in until roughly 40 mph), you don't have enough cable tension (too little control pressure). Gradually increase cable tension until you get evenly spaced firm shifts under mild acceleration. Do not go into wide-open throttle until you are certain you're getting firm upshifts without slippage. Slippage will cost transmission life. It's a good idea to have a transmission shop double-check your adjustment with a pressure gauge.

It is a bit blurry, but here's the plan for my lab so far. The workbench, desk, whiteboard, parts racks, shelves, and bookshelves are up.
Anyone looking for my multidimensional "Pascal's Triangle" shape apps, including Pascalloid Calculator 4.09 with tab-deliniated output of many polyhedra and derived shapes.
http://ntc.egrd.net -- it's back up and running.
Has the crazy layout.

V = V_0 * e^ ( ( -g/C ) * t )
V = Voltage.
V_0 = Initial value of Transient.
e = Base of Natural Logarithms.
g = Conductance = ( 1/r ) = Coefficient of power consumption by the voltage, as leakage conductance by the voltage, corona, dielectric hysteresis.
C = Capacitance = Coefficient of energy storage by the voltage, in the dielectric field.
t = time.
I could possibly attend this one! Anyone interested in going or representing? I have been meaning to get to OMSI for ages. I can give you PDX surplus shopping recommendations or tours if time permits.
OMSI is hosting a Mini Maker Faire on Sept 15 & 16. I hope you'll submit an application to:
or forward this on to anyone you think may be interested. If you have any questions about the event or the process leading up to it, please don't hesitate to let me know. Hope to see you there,

I keep breadboarding an ESR meter when I need one, but never getting around to making it permanent. Not all bad capacitors bulge, and modern switching power supplies demand capacitors with ESR in the range of less than 0.10 ohms.
Commercial ESR meters are still ridiculously expensive at around $200, give or take. I think I was stalling building mine with the expectation they would be going down, well, that isn't happening.
So the plan is to build an Arduino or PIC based meter to read capacitor and battery ESR in circuit, and also use it to measure PCB trace resistance and switch resistance. You can often tell when a switch is getting questionable, when the contact resistance jumps all over when you are moving the switch enough to slide the contacts around but not enough to change states.
So... anyone else interested? I don't know if I should just build one for myself, or make it a workshop, or sell kits, or do it as a Kickstarter.
What do you think?
What I say here only comes from my own social experience Omega, and is mostly about a particularly revealing one I had yesterday with one of the members. As I type this text I am trying neither to make this monologue too lengthy nor to direct any of the attention towards myself specifically, but only to use my own emotional experience as an example . Yesterday, when I arrived at olymega to give money to one of the alpha-members, I was stopped by J. who explained to me that he beleived I was not very respectful of the space; there had been a few times where I left a paper cup of coffee, or a mess of wires somewhere, and my friends who I'd bring to the space, in the words of J., "Were high off their asses most of the time." (i admit they are pretty weird) and seemed to have "no genuine interest" in how computation or circuitry worked. It was as if, in the mind of J., I was bringing people up for the mere spectacle of glowly lights and monkeys sitting in front of computers. I was then asked to give some kind of lights back to J., which he beleived I had stolen off of a table where I had sat. What kind of person am I thought to be?? With this, my membership was refused and and my leaving thanked. Two other members were there but said nothing and gave no input into the situation. So, now I wonder many questions: What is the real purpose of Omega? Are we really trying to help each other? Why is it that one person, J., can judge one's friends, suspect contempt and theft out of their own paranoia, and thereby ban another from being a member? Why wasn't there some sort of dialouge with the other members about their feelings and thoughts on my behavior? I want to ask the members of olymega what they think about refusing membership from curious people, and what the grounds for doing so can be. Shouldn't there be some kind of consensual decision, maybe like the consensus needed to become a keyholding member?
From LinkedIn Microcontroller user group:
If you want to gain a 'quick-taste' of the joys of 8-bit PICs, are happy programming in BASIC and don't necessarily feel the need to hold a soldering-iron then you could try PIC-Simulator IDE (http://www.oshonsoft.com/pic.html) from Oschon Software.
This is a great utility for taking your first steps... You can choose your device, write your code, simulate your device and peripherals (like LCDs, 'UARTS, EEPROMs, stepper-motors etc) and step-through your application to see how registers are changing, interrupts are being handled and monitor how your RAM is being used etc. etc. - all from the comfort of your PC. When you want to try your code on real hardware you can flash it with the generated HEX file.
The software can be downloaded for free and used for a trial-period....
I've not tried it yet myself.
LCDs/VFDs are nice and cheap in surplus + they have a fairly standard protocol.
Even in 4 bit mode they take a bunch of pins to drive, though, so it is nice to have options.
Several new libraries for interfacing LCDs have popped up, and offer one or both of:
- faster than the standard LiquidCrystal library
- support for 2 and 3 wire modes using shift registers (mostly 74HC595)
With that preamble, you may find this Library relevant to your interests. The 2 wire modes seem to use a shift register + a diode, which seems cheap to free up another pin.
Flickery power is bad for your computer. My fancy OCZ power supply got blown up a few months ago by the power rapidly flickering on and off again. I won't go into the exact cause of the power problems other than telling you that it was some idiot flipping the breaker on and off. Regardless, what's cheaper than a UPS to protect your PSU against power flicker of whatever cause, and you can build it yourself? This simple circuit, make out of relays and junk parts:
It's just a simple latch/memory bit, you press the momentary switch and it comes on and stays on, but if the power fails it shuts off until the switch is pressed again. The "relay bank" is several relays in parallel or a large relay capable of switching the 110V circuit of your PSU. The LEDs are red & green and display the "OK" or "tripped" status.
Now to be fair I haven't actually built this yet, so technically it "doesn't work", you know the rule about beta testing, but it should - and hey it's more content for the blogs right? :)
Last night we had the network fail on us several times prior to class starting and then again after class started. I have got the network working again with a little bit different physical layout. I have installed the 24 port switch on top of the firewall. I will be placing one in the classroom as well so that we are able to have multiple connections without requiring running additional wires. I have replaced the two old APs with a new enterprise AP that has both 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz service and several other options that will be great for allowing more flexibility in the network usage. The SSID was changed to OlyMega with the same password that was used before. I am bringing in new hardware to build a firewall that stops dying on us. If you would like to be involved please let me know. I am going to be in the space tonight and working on the firewall tomorrow evening.

I foolishly didn't take pictures... a gentleman at one of the nonparties Saturday night at Westercon had his robot drink dispenser, winner of some kind of national robot bartender award.
Fortunately, someone else has already posted a picture:
I'm working on something similar, but with a steampunk/mad scientist look. My current drink dispenser only dispenses one kind of drink.
He has an Arduino Mega256 controlling it, with a touchscreen interface. The ingredients are delivered by peristaltic pump. Eight glass bottles contain the ingredients, with a pump circulating water around them and through a cooler full of ice.

IN BRIEF: The two cowboys in Chenango Pass country looking for Fred Benson's killer. Benson's parents, newly arrived in the West, have invested $10,000 in what turned out to be a played-out gold mine. Fred, fresh out of engineering school, checked out the mine and with a smile on his face sent a message by way of "Packmule" Parker to a local storekeeper to give to his folks. The next time he was seen, he had been murdered. The message said he had found a dead mine. Storekeeper Rod Black offers to buy the mine for $1,000. Hoppy decides the key to the puzzle is to be found in the mine itself, but when he and California go exploring, there is an explosion and they are trapped below ground. When they've freed themselves, the heroes brace Black and accuse him of murder. He changed one letter in Benson's note before passing it along. While it has no gold, the mine is full of lead.

It will work
I wasn't sure if I was going to like my choice of cheddar, so what I've done is put it up on the design wall to see if I could live with it. I believe I like it. I have had it up there for a couple of days now and I think I'll start sewing on it.
But not tonight (Sunday), Downton Abby is on and I have been waiting for season 3 to start. And nothing can interfere with watching.
IT'S Done
I have started keeping better tally of my stash so now that it is a new year, I think I have a grasp on how to do it now. I wasn't very good at it the last year.
I've used 3 3/4 yards. and did buy 2 yards.
So that makes me 1 3/4 yards to the good.
I think I'm off to a good start

Mandated ignorance: A bad policy in Hooksett
Board chairman Trisha Korkosz said at the meeting that, per board policy, such communications are not allowed. Even the teachers union complained, saying that teachers can feel threatened if school board members seek their input. Remember that next time the union says the school board needs to listen to the teachers.
Hooksett adopted the policy on the recommendation of the New Hampshire School Boards Association. The policy states that "all official communications, policies, and directives of employee interest and concern will be communicated to employee members through the Superintendent, and the Superintendent will employ all such media as are appropriate to keep employees fully informed of the Board's problem, concerns and actions."
Surely a question by a school board member is not an official communication, policy or directive of the board. To assert such a claim would be to deny board members the ability to undertake any individual fact-finding. School board members have an obligation to be well-informed about the institution they govern. As interpreted, this policy hinders that duty. The board, and the public, ought to find that unacceptable.

Piers is the composer of musical adaptations of classical English stories, including an adaptation of JM Barrie's Peter Pan. In the mid 1990's, following approval by the trustees of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, to whom Barrie had left the Peter Pan rights, Piers' adaptation was further developed into Peter Pan The Official British Musical. Piers now holds an international contract with Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital securing worldwide professional and amateur stage rights of his adaptation including associated merchandising.
In the past 20 years Peter Pan the Musical has been produced professionally throughout Europe including London's West End, Ireland, Channel Islands, Scandinavia (breaking a box office record with its first visit, then again with its second), UK & Netherlands tours. Many of these professional productions have been directed by Piers. In addition there have been 3 major recordings of the work - by EMI, Decca/Columbia and Pigmalion Records. Piers has also advised on Peter Pan productions in Canada, Spain and Jersey.
He has also written musical adaptations of Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows 'The Adventures of Mr. Toad' (published by Josef Weinberger Ltd in the UK and Music Theatre International in the USA) which has been staged in London, toured the UK and broken 5 Christmas box office records in regional theatres; Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass - first presented by The Theatre Royal, Plymouth, published in 2011 and A Christmas Carol, which was published in 2010. In planning is his new musical adaptation of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days, due to be launched in October 2013.
Piers' work has broken box office records in at least 10 theatres in the UK and Europe. His adaptations have been seen in every English speaking country worldwide and translated into many languages. He has also received 2 major awards, one in the Channel Islands and the 'MAX' award in Spain.
In addition to ongoing international professional presentations, Piers' works are a favourite with schools and amateur theatre companies and a large amount of productions are performed annually by these forces world-wide.
