Introduction, Hardware, and Subjective Feel
This review comes before the end of the pre-order period. The reason why I targeted that deadline is because the pre-order perks are quite significant. First, either version of the mouse is listed for about $50 off of its MSRP (which is half price for the plastic version). EVGA also throws in a mouse pad for registering your purchase. The plastic mouse is $49.99 during its pre-order period ($99.99 MSRP) and its carbon fiber alternative is $79.99 ($129.99 MSRP). EVGA has supplied us with the plastic version for review.
Being left-handed really puts a damper on my choice of gaming mice. If the peripheral is designed to contain thumb buttons, it needs to either be symmetric (because a right hand's thumb buttons would be controlled by my pinky or ring finger) or be an ergonomic, curved mouse which comes in a special version for lefties that is mirrored horizontally (which is an obvious risk, especially when the market of left-handed gamers is further split by those who learned to force themselves to use right-handed mice).

EVGA improved upon their previous revision Classified boards, adding in support for 5th generation Intel Core processors through integration with the Intel Z97 chipset. Most flagship motherboard command a premium price with the Z97 Classified being no exception. It's $379.99 MSRP may price it out of reach for many enthusiasts, but its integrated components and overclocking-friendly features more than justify the price.

We first saw the EVGA TORQ X10 at CES and recently one arrived at Scott's doorstep so we will have a full review in the near future. If you can't wait to see what this mouse is capable of you can check this review at Hardware Canucks even if you cannot buy the mouse until towards the end of this month. Not only can you adjust the weight of this mouse, the hand rests can be raised and lowered to ensure it fits perfectly in your palm. If you are wondering why this model is more expensive, it is because it has a carbon fibre shell as opposed to ordinary plastic.
"The TORQ X10 may be EVGA's first gaming mouse but its design, feature set and excellent build quality competes with some of the best peripherals available today."

EVGA's 650W PSU, still sporting that strange handle

Tagged: evga, EVGA SuperNOVA, 650W, NEX650G, 80 Plus Gold, modular psu
The EVGA SuperNOVA NEX650G Gold is a 650W PSU capable of delivering 20A on each of it's 12V rails with a maximum of 53A in total. As it comes with four 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors and an extra 6 pin it should be able to handle multiple mid-range GPUs, though as [H]ard|OCP discovered it can get quite loud under full load. As it can be purchased for under $100 it is a 'good enough' choice for many enthusiasts who don't need a kilowatt nor have a lot of money to spend. It may not stand out in the crowd but it certainly passed every test [H] threw at it.
"EVGA does not have a lot to say about its SuperNOVA NEX650G Gold Power Supply. It does however mention it being designed with enthusiast needs, and this PSU being the "the best choice to power next generation enthusiast computers" with exceptional features, and stunning efficiency. We of course will be the judge of those claims."

Just Delivered: EVGA Torq X10 Gaming Mouse

It has been a while since I reviewed hardware and, when I did, they were all keyboards. Being a southpaw, it is fairly difficult to review higher-end mice. When offered to review the EVGA Torq X10 Gaming Mouse, I noticed that it is a (nearly) symmetric design with nine (9) buttons: five (5) on the top, two (2) on the left for right-handed thumbs, and two (2) more, identical buttons on the right for left-handed thumbs.
Of course, the off-hand buttons can still be used for time-insensitive commands, like pinging the map of a strategy game. Personally, I tend to rebind mouse sensitivity to the pinky-buttons and rebind what is usually meant for DPI adjustments to pinging maps or, on games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2, fly up and down (for the UAV).
A quick unboxing shows the underside of the mouse, an accessory pouch made out of paper with a getting started guide and what looks to be sticker-based grips, a plastic bag of weights, and that metal thing beside the mouse is a torx screwdriver. This screwdriver is what will be used to customize the palm angle by turning its adjustment at the rear of the mouse.
While I have not yet plugged it in, I did play around with its grip adjustment. You probably will not notice its effects unless you are looking for it, but it does result in significant changes to the touch. I will discuss this, and its other features, more in my upcoming full review.
As for pricing, EVGA is currently accepting pre-orders through Newegg. The base version is available for $49.99 (pre-order price, $99.99 MSRP) with a "carbon fiber" version, an identical mouse outside of the surface material, also on pre-order for $69.99 (pre-order price, $129.99 MSRP). It is unclear whether they will ever make it up to their MSRP but, if they do, an almost half-price pre-order (with a free mouse pad if you pre-order, register your mouse, and upload your invoice, apparently) is pretty gigantic.
It is expected to ship in a month (late June). I hope to have at least a preliminary review, if not a full one, up with time left for pre-orders.

Here's how to quickly and easily repair frayed ends of a synthetic rope. It's so easy, I am only ten and (with some help from my dad on step 2) I can do it in under 1 or 2 minutes every time.
My aunt gave me a knot-tying set this Christmas (2010). I constantly played with it and within 2 days, the rope was badly frayed. That shows how quickly rope frays and how much you need our technique. Frayed rope is difficult to use, but it's quick and easy to repair the damaged ends so you can use the rope again. It's so easy, I am only ten and (with some help from my dad on step 2) I can do it in under 1 or 2 minutes every time. Using our technique is a simple way to save time and money and is (relatively) safe!
Cut off the frayed end of the rope with your scissors. Make the cut as clean as you can. The straighter and cleaner the cut, the smoother the end of the rope will be when you're done.
For ropes with woven nylon on the outside and an inside core, you'll need to pull out the inside in order to better seal the ends of the rope. Pull about 1 in. of the inside core out, cut it 1/2 in. from the end, and work it back in by holding one end of the rope and sliding the outside nylon part back over the end of the core. Then, proceed on to the next step.
Compare the first and last pictures to see how effective this technique is. We find it easy to repair nylon rope in a few simple steps. We hope you do too.
PS: I'm only ten, and this is my first project. I hope you like it.

Old guy trying to learn new things, see my website resume for details -- sort of.
Actually, I'm trying to rewrite in Javascript an application I originally wrote in C for DOS in 1988 to do weight & balance calculations for large cargo aircraft (primarily 747s, which I used to captain). Amazingly there are still a few operators using it, and I'm treating the rewrite as a challenge to my aging brain. Ancilliary to this process, I'm exploring using Kubuntu for a more secure operating system in certain situations.

Two 2-1/2" wide x 28" long tire wells are supported by a lightweight and portable tubular steel truss configuration, giving 1 or 2 bicycles a sturdy place to stand freely. An 8" center support bar connects the two wells for added stability and also provides additional space to tie or lock bicycles down.

This little gem was easy to assemble (helps to have a ratchet) and sturdy, too. We didn't have much floor to ceiling clearance in our garage, but we did have floor space. Perfect fit. I only gave it a 4 because the ratchet was almost a necessity for me.

|MySpace Dark Horse Presents #16 is online now
November's MySpace Dark Horse Presents is an ode to classic horror comics, with new stories by talents like Mike Mignola (âHellboyâ) and Becky Cloonan (âAmerican Virgin,â âDemoâ), and fans of the old Warren comics will be especially pleased to see Uncle Creepy rear his decrepit head in a new tale of terror by newcomers Andrew Mayer and Lukas Ketner. The MDHP strip, titled âOm Nom Nom,â serves as a preview of a re-launched âCreepyâ series that Dark Horse will debut next July at Comic-Con International in San Diego. CBR News caught up with Ketner to discuss the âCreepyâ web comic and his evolving artistic style.
Despite being a fan of the horror genre, Lukas Ketner had some catching up to do in regards to âCreepy.â âI wasn't nearly as familiar with 'Creepy' or the Warren mags as I was with the EC classics or the DC 'House of Mystery' and 'House of Secrets' books,â he told CBR News. âDiscovering all of that material has been a huge bonus for me. I've even taken to garage sale-ing to try and find a box full of Warren mags. You can find them at comic book stores, but a decent issue will run you at least $20!â
The illustrations and comics seen on Ketner's website look quite different from what is seen in âOm Nom Nom,â which fits very well in what may be seen as a âCreepyâ house style. âI knew that I wanted to expand on the pen and ink stuff that I'd been doing for 'Witch Doctor,'â he said. âYou know, I've been trying to get that 'professionally inked page' look for years, complete with the attractive blue pencil lines and the expertly placed spot blacks and hatching, completely black and white. I learned everything I could along the way, but when I finally got there, I really wanted a more painterly look. Some of my favorite horror shorts had those really amazing grey tones behind the line work. That's what I wanted for this one. It was Shawna's idea, but I agreed immediately.â
|Page from "Creepy: Om Nom Nom"
When the print edition of âCreepyâ returns next July, it will be published in black-and-white, but âOm Nom Nomâ is published in color to fit in with the other MySpace Dark Horse Presents strips. Ketner's color effects add an interesting dimension to the comic, relying heavily on reds and blues. âIf there's one word I kept in mind during the coloring phase, it was 'intestinal,'â the artist said. âI really wanted to use grayish sickly pinks, reds, and blues to suggest stomach lining and varicose veins. I've never been as confident in my coloring skills as with my drawing skills, but referencing the color schemes of Dave Stewart and Richard Corben tends to keep me on track.â
Like emerging talents Sarah Oleksyk and Liz Greenfield, whose webcomics appeared on MySpace Dark Horse Presents in August and September, respectively, Lukas Ketner was discovered by the publisher at Portland's Stumptown Comics Festival.
âBrandon Seifert and myself released our first issue of our horror medical drama, 'Witch Doctor' in time for the festival in April,â Ketner explained. âThe idea was to have a pitch that was already a finished product and, failing that, a portfolio piece that we were both happy with. We showed it to [editor] Scott Allie, who was hosting a MySpace DHP contest to find a few unknowns to reward with a slot in one of the upcoming online issues of DHP. We got very excited and immediately started brainstorming a story at out convention table, only to be told a little later that we weren't eligible for the slot because we had both done professional work in the past. We have both been working for newspapers and other publications for years, Brandon writing articles and me doing spot illos. We decided to look at it as a good thing that we were 'too professional' to qualify, and Scott continued to give us advice, feedback, and support.
âFast forward a few months, I read that Dark Horse is going to re-launch 'Creepy' magazine and I'm very happy about it. Horror anthology comics are my favorite! Literally that evening I get an email from editor Shawna Gore wanting to know if I'd be interested in doing a story. Yes. Yes, I would.
|Pages from "Creepy: Om Nom Nom"
âIncidentally, I interned for Dark Horse years ago while still in school, and Shawna was the editor I worked with most often. I discovered a lot of the titles I read and love today on her watch.â
Still occupying that space between enthusiastic fan and seasoned professional, Ketner reflected on his experiences in comics to date. âI've met so many wonderful people in the industry, creators, and editors alike that I really look up to. Everyone knows that comics are a difficult medium to break into professionally, but what most don't know about is the support and attention you can get from just doing a book on your own,â the artist said. âIt shows what you can write, draw, and most importantly, what you can see through to completion.â
As for other projects coming up, Ketner advises fans to keep an eye out for more âWitch Doctor.â âBrandon and I are working on both a short story and a complete second issue, both on an ASAP basis,â he said. âBrandon seems to have and endless supply of good ideas for future 'Creepy' stories, so I'm sure you'll see us working together on that as well at some point.
âYou can also see some one-pagers of mine in the Steal Back Your Vote guide written by the manic yet heroic Greg Palast and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr,
âAside from that, I'm always looking for new projects . . . anyone?â

'American Idol': The Ellen DeGeneres experiment ends abruptly
Ellen DeGeneres never fit in as a judge on "American Idol," but at least she had good sense to recognize that, which is why she's bowing out after only a single season even though she signed a multi-year contract.
"A couple months ago, I let FOX and the 'American Idol' producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me," DeGeneres said in a statement. "I told them I wouldn't leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for. I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on 'Idol' and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be."
The "it was hard for me to judge" excuse was the same one given by the show's first attempt to expand its initial judging pool, as New York DJ Angie Martinez quit after only a week on the job in season two. And certainly that was Ellen's biggest problem. It was clear that, like Paula Abdul before her, criticizing the contestants caused her severe emotional distress, but without the memorable insanity that came from Pauler's attempts to find nice things to say about tone-deaf massacres of the works of Alannah Myles.
Ellen would be critical, but only if someone else was critical first. The first week of this season's semi-finals, the producers tried rotating the order in which the four judges spoke, and it was a disaster anytime Ellen had to speak first - even if she had something nice to say, she stammered and took forever to form a coherent way to express that. Very quickly, the producers inserted her permanently in between Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi, so she would always have another judges' voice to cue her - which, of course, meant that mostly we got Randy Jackson's thoughts delivered twice.
And about the last thing "American Idol" needed was more of the wit and wisdom of Randy Jackson, especially projected, ventriliquist-style, through a woman who very quickly made it clear she didn't want to be there.
Ellen sounded great in her first Hollywood episodes, but once the live shows began - and her nervousness couldn't be hid by editing - it became clear quickly that she wasn't going to become the new "Idol" star and enable the show to survive Simon Cowell's departure.
So now Simon's gone, Ellen's gone, and former producer Nigel Lythgoe is on the verge of returning, with a reported mandate to clean house to help the show survive both Simon's exit and a low-rated, underwhelming ninth season. During Nigel's two years away from the show, he publicly objected to the idea of a fourth judge (which wound up eating into the number of songs that could be performed each week, and often led to timeslot overruns) and suggested that when Simon left, he'd rather get rid of the entire judges' panel and start over from scratch.
In other words, if I were Randy or Kara - who have been floating in the wake of Simon and the show itself for years - I would be exploring other options, ASAP.
There have been rumors that Lythgoe wants Elton John or Justin Timberlake or someone else on that level, but those are pipe dreams. More likely, the new panel will include Lythgoe himself (who's already a judge on "So You Think You Can Dance") and a couple of new, hopefully more articulate second-tier music insiders.
[Editor's note: AP reports Jennifer Lopez is in negotiations to replace DeGeneres on "Idol."]

Need help choosing between two names
Our son is due in July and we have finally narrowed down our name list to two!
Maxwell- have a little concern that it's "going to the dogs", but love the full name and that it leads to nickname "Max"
Asher- love the sound and meaning, would prefer to use the full name, but ok with it being shortened to "Ash
I also loved Jack (but wanted a more complete sounding name), Samuel (too popular), Noah (way too popular, and also lacks full name/nickname), and Elliot (lacks nickname), but at the risk of driving my husband batty, I've agreed to let go of those and focus on our top two. (And clearly I've fully let go as evidenced by my including them here.)
Which do you prefer?

I love both names so it really depends how each of them flow with your surname. Lots of human names are given to dogs so I wouldn't worry too much (as long as you don't have or know one named Max or Maxwell). If you would rather NOT divulge your last name, just let us some information like: what initial it starts with, a word it rhymes with, how many syllables, how it ends etc...anything that can help us decide between the two names. For example, if your surname is Turner, then Maxwell Turner would sound better than the repetitive Asher Turner.All the best,

"It's New York in the '80s, and Joon is a teenage Korean immigrant living in the Bronx who is now on the run. Rarely does a first novel blaze across our dark night with the brilliance and fury of lightning -- but Mun's Miles From Nowhere is just that electric. A debut to cheer."
— Nick Petrulakis, Books Inc., Alameda, CA
A major voice in fiction debuts with the story of a teenage runaway on the streets of 1980s New York.
Teenage Joon is a Korean immigrant living in the Bronx of the 1980s. Her parents have crumbled under the weight of her father's infidelity; he has left the family, and mental illness has rendered her mother nearly catatonic. So Joon, at the age of thirteen, decides she would be better off on her own, a choice that commences a harrowing and often tragic journey that exposes the painful difficulties of a life lived on the margins. Joon's adolescent years take her from a homeless shelter to an escort club, through struggles with addiction, to jobs selling newspapers and cosmetics, committing petty crimes, and finally toward something resembling hope.

With wisdom that only aging gracefully can bestow, she talks frankly about her four marriages as well as her other relationships, including her courtship with Sidney Poitier; racial politics in show business; and the personal cost, particularly to her family, of being a pioneer.
From a recent, Emmy-nominated role on Grey's Anatomy to appearances on Oprah, Diahann Carroll's legendary stage, film, and television career has spanned more than five decades.
Her title role on Julia beginning in 1968 established Carroll as the first African-American actress to star in her own television series. The role garnered her both an Emmy nomination and a Golden Globe win to go along with the 1962 Best Actress Tony Award she won for her role in No Strings (also a first for a black woman). Diahann also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her role in Claudine.
In the 1980s, Diahann joined the glitzy night-time soap opera Dynasty as the jet-setter Dominique Deveraux.
Carroll's career continued strong in the 1990s with appearances in films such as The Five Heartbeats; she also starred as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard.
As a breast cancer survivor and activist, Carroll invited a camera crew into her treatment room for a national broadcast special to draw attention to the cause.
Ever the consummate performer, her new cabaret show at Feinstein's has traveled nationwide to sold-out audiences.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

"Class in everyway!"
Ms.Carroll writes her memories the same as her professional image: full of class! I finished the book hoping so much to have lived in her life and been her friend. I loved the wonderful self confidence that she has exuberated throughout her life and never for one second expressed regret, bitterness or presented herself less than perfection in every part of her live. I loved the book and highly recommend it to anyone who longs for the golden age!

A reader wrote in to say: "This is an awesome lunchbox for kids, my standby birthday gift! Compartment setup really encourages people to avoid pre-packaged foods in favor of more eco-friendly (and healthy) options. Everyone on the playground has been asking me about ours." The site calls them American-style bento boxes and says they're dishwasher safe. Sounds good to me.

Daily System
This wall system will keep everything running smoothly once school starts. I recommend one Letter Pocket per kid to keep all their homework and notes from the teacher in one spot. This will reduce the number of times you send your kid to school on a day off by at least 50%.

Personalized Pencils
In first grade a boy named Brandon let me use one of his personalized pencils. I used it until there was nothing but a stub left.
