Buddi is a personal finance and budgeting program, aimed at those who have little or no financial background. In making this software, I have attempted to make things as simple as possible, while still retaining enough functions to satisfy most home users.
Buddi is released as Open Source Software. You can download it for free, with no disabled features and no time limit. If you find that you like it, and that it has helped you to organize your finances, I would greatly appreciate a small donation via the link at the bottom of the page. I have spent thousands of hours of my own time perfecting Buddi - while I am not doing this for the money, I do need to support myself and my family, and every little bit helps.
Buddi will run on almost any computer which has a Java virtual machine installed (Java 1.6 or higher is required for current versions of Buddi; see the Download page for details). This can include Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and many other operating systems.
Buddi is currently available in multiple languages. If you are interested in translating to another language, feel free to do so! I would greatly appreciate it if you also sent me the translated file once you are finished. For more details, please see the translations page.
Buddi is released under the GNU General Public License. Since Buddi is released as Open Source Software, everyone has free access to the source code (available for download from the SourceForge project page). This gives you the ability to modify the program if you want it to work a little differently, or if you want to add some new features. For more information on Open Source Software in general, and the GNU General Public License in particular, you can refer to Wikipedia.
Buddi 22.214.171.124 Released (June 21 2013)
Some users have reported that after taking the Java update 1.6.0_51 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, that Buddi hangs, and you cannot click anywhere or do anything. I have released version 22.214.171.124 to address this issue. All users of OS X should definitely install this version; for Windows and Linux users it is not required, but it will not hurt either.
Buddi Live Public Beta (April 20 2013)
I am happy to announce the public beta version of Buddi Live is now available. In this case, Beta software means that it is not yet feature complete, and there are likely bugs, but the data itself should be stable enough for real-life use (and in fact my own budget has been exclusively on Buddi Live for the past week or so). For those of you who are Buddi Desktop users and have existing data there, the most recent version of Buddi Desktop (188.8.131.52) has been released last week, and includes an export option to generate the Buddi Live data (.json) format. You can upload this file to Buddi Live using System -> Restore.
As this is still beta software, I would strongly recommend that you backup your data after each session; I don't anticipate problems which could lose data, but it is always a possibility. You can backup by clicking System -> Backup, and keeping the resulting Backup.json file in a safe place.
In the coming days / weeks, I plan on expanding Buddi Live's functionality. Here is a rough list of the planned functionality, as well as the order in which it will hopefully occur:
- Enable SSL (HTTPS) on the web site
- Add the default reports from Buddi Desktop (currently I have "Expenses by Category" and "Income by Category" pie charts)
- Start work on the mobile version of Buddi Live. This will be usable on cell phones, and will have a subset of features that the full version has; I anticipate being able to enter transactions and view how well you are meeting your budget (i.e. if you have budgeted $500 for groceries, and have spent $400, you have $100 left). If you have other ideas which would fit well with a mobile budgeting application feel free to send them to me.
Buddi Live Announcement (February 26 2013)
After a long wait time, I have begun development on Buddi Live: a web based application which allows you to track your finances at home and on the go, using your computer, tablet, or smart phone. There will be options both for those who want a hosted 'cloud' provider, as well as those who prefer to run their own server. Development is ongoing, and I hope to have a beta release completed by the end of March. The software will remain open source and accessible to everyone, and there will be import capabilities from the current Buddi desktop-based program.
If you are interested in this exciting new development, and want to be informed of further information and releases, please email me with the subject "Buddi Live info".

hard but you look at Madrid's programme at the moment and it's also very difficult. Every game is hard.
"Maybe in Jose's situation he can make changes simply because the priority is the European Cup, but Real never want to lose to Barca so he has to play a strong team in that game. But I think both teams are in a programme of playing game after game so it'll be interesting."
When asked if the media speculation regarding Mourinho's future at the Bernabeu might affect the self-proclaimed 'Special One', Sir Alex stated his belief that his great friend will thrive in the spotlight and praised the former Chelsea manager's work in the Spanish capital.
"It's always been important to them, the European Cup, and I don't think it (pressure) necessarily applies to Jose as I think he's done a great job there. He's really built up a terrific squad of players and could play two teams, like us. I don't think it applies to him but you never know in football.
"I don't think there's any secrecy in his own desire to win the European Cup as, don't forget, he'd be the only person to win it with three different teams so it's a fantastic challenge for Jose."
The two managers have enjoyed a friendly rivalry since first competing against one another during United's Champions League defeat to Porto in 2004. And although Mourinho has the better record from 14 previous meetings, Sir Alex is adamant he's still on top.

Here is a Jamie Hewlett quote about the hologram tour Gorillaz decided not to do:
EDIT: Also, you clearly have never seen this documentary.JH: Basically, it was extremely expensive, extremely difficult, a million and one things can go wrong, every second that the thing's playing. We did that thing at the EMAs. That was a test of what it could be like. And when we sat and watched that, everyone involved was literally gnawing their fingernails, because we knew of the 65 things that could go wrong any second. And when it finished, when the three minutes was over and nothing went wrong, we all breathed a huge sigh of relief. So we realised that if we did a tour, it'd be a logistical nightmare.

The Merciful series follows an ensemble of characters struggling to do what they think is right while the world crumbles around them.
Merciful is a comic book series set in our grim, but not too distant future. It chronicles an ensemble of characters that are struggling to do what they think is right while the world is crumbling around them.
After 15 years of government corruption, oil shortages and nuclear war, the world is suffering from a very serious food shortage. Whole cities are surviving on nothing more then vitamin and protein-enriched gruel. But in the year 2033 there's a momentary glimmer of hope when Takahashi Enterprise has a break through with bioengineering. They've found a way to drastically speed up the production of pork while also increasing the size of the swine considerably, creating a sustainable protein source. Countries quickly jump on board setting up the new pork production plants and pumping out product as fast as they can to feed the masses. In the major cities, conference centers and sport arenas are transformed into massive soup kitchens to feed the hungry. At first the world rejoices, parents are final able to feed their children. But the celebrations are short lived.
Only weeks after the first person was served, cases of a strange sickness are popping up all over the globe. Originally thought to be isolated cases of food poising, the world quickly learns that it's much more than that. Symptoms seem to change from patient to patient. For some the sickness comes on slowly and for others it seems to hit them like a Mac truck. Within a few short weeks8 two thirds of the worlds population is either sick or dying.
Just as all hope seems to be lost, a young scientist and entrepreneur named Joshua Van Es, discovered both the cause and the solution for the sickness. Through his own independent experiments he discovered that the type of diseases they were dealing with was a "prion" (protein infection) caused by the tainted pork. He creates an inoculation that stops the sickness by slowing and eventual halting the unfolding of healthy brain cells. The vaccine is quickly distributed worldwide but in some cases it's too late, the people who first fell ill are too far-gone. The ones who don't die slip into comas, receiving food and oxygen through tubes. The people who do pull through are left scarred and sterile, leaving only a small number of people healthy and able to reproduce.
Without people to run them, small towns and cities fall by the wayside. Larger cities use their resources to transform huge high-rise condos into giant medical wards for the comatose in hopes they'll find a cure for the damage caused by the sickness.
8 years pass...
It's 2041, and the sick are still in comas with no sign of improvement. But Van Es hasn't lost hope, he's heard rumours of an ex military man who had the sickness but some how still fathered a child, a son. After investigating, he finds out that the stories are true. He has reason to believe the key to reviving the comatose might lie in the child's DNA.
Private William King and his wife have taken their newborn son and are hiding deep in the woods. They fear that their baby might be taken away if anyone finds out about him. So when Van Es tracks them down they go into panic mode. He doesn't try to force them to come back, but instead tries to lure them back with the promise of amazing living conditions and minimal testing. William agrees to at least think about it and Van Es leaves to return to the city.
Upon arriving back at Van Es Towers, Joshua is informed that there was a board meeting in his absence. Some of people in power have decided it's time to move on. They plan to divert power form the sick wards to new village set up for the survivors, euthanizing thousands of sick.
In only 8 days, they'll throw the switch and destroy any chance Van Es had at discovering a cure.
Van Es now realizes that the time for niceties has come and gone. The child might be their only hope. He puts a military tracking team together to go after William's family and bring them to the city whether they like it or not. But What Van Es doesn't know is that shortly after he left, William and Catherine fled. They loaded what they could on to a wagon and left on horse back for the coast.
The majority of our story will follow the cat and mouse chase as the military team tries to track down the family. The reader is left unsure who to root for, the desperate family or the rest of the world. It will keep them on the edge of their seat wondering if Van Es will have time to find a cure before they can pull the plug.
Key Personal Biographies
These two have been causing trouble together for more than 25 years. They originally met in day care and have been best friends ever since. In their pre-teen years they spent weekends watching horror movies all night and coming up with elaborate plots for make believe sequels. After high school Adam went off to LA for Film School and Kyle went out to BC to pursue his music career. Shortly after returning home to Canada Adam continued making films in hopes of breaking into the industry. Being young and industrious, he landed a meeting with CTV and within 3 months was developing an hour-long drama series, "Lost City", under the "Writer Only Program". Since then he has developed many original concepts with several major production companies. Kyle put his music career on hold to further his education. He returned to Ontario and studied Music Production as well as Sustainable Energy and Building Technology. But it wasn't all studies for Kyle, he also carved out a name for himself in the underground music and poetry scene in Hamilton. Although this is the guy's first official collaboration, it certainly won't be their last.
Dan can't remember a time when he wasn't drawing wizards, monsters, and comic books. A fan of science fiction, Dungeons and Dragon, and anything with the words 'post apocalyptic' in the title, Dan has finally stopped pretending he was going to be anything other than a comic book artist. He has recently finished a diploma in Sequential Illustration and has done work for the new Rune Quest RPG and St. James Comics. Originally from Cape Breton, Dan has lived all over Canada but now calls British Columbia home.

Of late patents around mobile technologies have been in the news. Four high profile news items are (1) Oracle suing Google for Java patent violation, (2) Apple and Samsung fighting each other in different parts of the world, Microsoft, Apple, Rim and others jointly buying Nortel patent library for $4.5 billion and (4) Google buys Motorola Mobile and gets 17,000 patents.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. This diagram from Reuters shows the complex battlefield of mobile patent and significant portion of these patents are for software.
In the sideline of this patent war, a debate has been raging about the usefulness of the US patent law governing software patents. Point to note here is that each country has a different patent law. For example, in India, software per se cannot be patented.
If you want to have a quick look at what patenting is all about have a look at -
What is the debate on Software Patents about?
In US the patent law is expected…
"…to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited time to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries…"
However, the distractors claim that the software patent law does the exact opposite – it stifles innovation. They claim that there are enough scientific studies to prove this point. With so many patents around it is practically impossible to write a piece of software and feel confident that it does not violate any existing patent!
Here is couple of references to those studies:
There is also a Wikipedia page which discusses this topic.
For and Against – Three Arguments each
- Public disclosure: Since patent must publicly disclose the invention it is expected to accelerate software development by making previously unknown and not obvious software inventions public.
- Allow the inventor to peacefully perfect the invention: Since every invention requires time and effort to perfect, the patent provides protection without the fear of imitation.
- Encourage the inventor to additional use to maximize return: The inventor will have incentive to search for further applications of the patented software.
- Patent has never been an incentive for a Startup or VC: Survey of software entrepreneurs and venture investors indicate that they would have invested even without patent protection.
- Defensive patenting locks up invention: Companies patent everything they can think of that might be relevant to their business and then implement only a fraction of those things, which creates a barrier for innovation.
- Deterrence to work on innovative idea: Companies may be reluctant to invest in a new idea because of the fear that the work may infringe on some existing patents.
What about economic benefit?
Pro: For small companies patent should (1) provide protection to market their products, (2) increase the valuation of the company and (3) combat large players through patent law suit.
Con: The process of patenting is very expensive and only a small percentage of patents land up making any money. Small companies aren't very well protected by patent because the damages awarded may be very small. It appears that the economic benefit goes to the "Patent Troll" who buys patents just to fight law suit and claim infringement.
Is Copyright not sufficient protection for software?
Sufficient: Copyright is the right of an author of any software to prevent others from copying their creative work without a license. Copyright protection is given automatically and immediately without the need to register, though registration strengthens protection. Often copyright infringement is relatively easy to determine.
Insufficient: Patents protect functionality. Copyright on the other hand only protects expression. Substantial modification to an original work, even if it performs exactly the same function, would not be prevented by copyright. To prove copyright infringement also requires the additional hurdle of proving copying which is not necessary for patent infringement.
Inventions aren't created by a single genius
Current research suggests that inventions are created from a bunch of people competing and collaborating as the world changes. That makes the whole theory behind our current patent system is flawed. The current patent system is built around the idea that lone genius individuals need to be incented to make great leaps forward.
See this paper – The Myth of the Sole Inventor
If you believe in FOSS movement then it is very difficult to support software patent
Let me just refer to this post – Why Patent Injunctions Are Even Worse For Open Source.
Some believe that…
Software = Algorithm = Mathematics … so it cannot be patented

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A former LSU coastal researcher and the university have reached an out-of-court settlement of the man's claim that his LSU career was destroyed over his criticisms of federal engineers after New Orleans' levees failed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
U.S. District Judge James J. Brady signed an order Monday that conditionally dismisses the three-year-old litigation involving Ivor van Heerden, the LSU Board of Supervisors and David Constant, former interim dean of LSU's College of Engineering. Constant informed van Heerden in 2009 that his employment contract would not be renewed.
The court case had been scheduled for a jury trial Feb. 19.
No details of the settlement agreement were contained in the court record.

We'd like to clear up some confusion about Cinghiale. First, there's the name. It's pronounced chin-GOLL-ee, and it's Italian for wild boar—forager pigs often described as gregarious animals. So how can you go wrong with the image of happy oinkers? As it turned out, the restaurant had some adjustments to make in the beginning before it could be truly cheerful. A big-time chef left; a young upstart came on board. What was going on? Baltimoreans were perplexed by the food, too. This was not the Old-World Italian fare they were used to. Yes, there was pasta, but no hint of heavy red gravy. The offerings seemed a little too esoteric—and pricey to boot.
Now, a year later, the restaurant—the brainchild of juggernaut restaurateurs Tony Foreman and Cindy Wolf of The Charleston Group—seems to have found its rhythm. It's adapted; we've succumbed. But the menu, which takes a Northern Italian focus, still can be challenging. Really, does everyone know what treviso (radicchio) or robiola (cheese) are? But don't be intimidated. The knowledgeable servers act as interpreters and cheerfully offer suggestions when asked. My only quibble is that if you order something, say like tuna, they'll respond with, "Oh, il tonno." We'd prefer they didn't rub it in that we don't speak the language.
That aside, there are several menu options and price points at Cinghiale. In fact, there are three dining experiences to be had. And we tried them all—sandwiches sitting at the bar, lighter fare at a table in the enoteca (wine bar), and a three-course prezzo fisso with wine pairings in the osteria (more formal dining room). Interior designer Patrick Sutton incorporated rich tiles, woods, and fixtures to create the casually elegant enoteca. The osteria with its muted green carpet, white walls, wrought-iron candelabras, and multitude of windows exudes a more sophisticated air.
We started with bar food—although this isn't your typical pub grub. (It's a great spot to head after taking in a movie at the Landmark Theatre or just to go solo.) We felt pampered lingering at the luxe bar, where two wild-boar sculptures peer over the crowd, as we chowed into paninis and a captivating grilled calamari starter. The heat of chili oil and crispy, frizzled carrots took this appetizer in a wonderful new direction. Our marvelous bartender—definitely seek out Monica Baker if she's there—brought us extra bread to sop up the remains. We weren't quite as impressed with the paninis ($9), oddly named after cars (Ducati and Ferrari, in our case). They had the requisite meats (salami piccante in the Ferrari, speck in the Ducati) and accouterments (red peppers, mozzarella, tomatoes, and more), but the portions were skimpy. Still, you can soak up the ambiance and people-watch Baltimore's glitterati without spending a lot of money.
On the opposite side of the spectrum and wallet and just a step up from the enoteca is the hushed solemnity of the osteria. Tablecloths and napkins the color of chalk are starched and pristine. Service (in The Charleston Group tradition) is impeccable and impressive—you know, the kind of place where your napkin is gallantly handed to you on seating; where, if you leave the table, it's neatly tri-folded for your return; water glasses are never empty; silverware is constantly replaced.
You can order a la carte or prezzo fisso (three courses for $49 per person, $72 paired with wines) from the menu, which often changes to reflect local and seasonal produce. For instance, the tomato soup (nothing like Campbell's) was an icy clear broth that was reminiscent of a refreshing babbling brook. Ripe-off-the-vine cherry tomatoes, basil, and shrimp added depth and beauty. Another stunner was the raw veal tenderloin—a round of sensuous, chopped meat, hinting of thyme and encircled by thin shaves of piquant Parmesan. The pièce de résistance: a poached quail egg, which burst into a flash of minerally yolk over the veal.
The pasta course provides a proper segue to the entrées. Portions are small, but, honestly, do we always have to super size everything? Executive chef Julian Marucci has fun playing around with his pasta. Basil ravioli are little discs that have been cleverly infused with the herb for a brilliant green color and plumped with smoked mozzarella. They look quite painterly on a nest of eggplant and Sun Gold tomatoes. Spaghetti with littleneck clams was not as successful, though, and would have benefited from less salt and garlic.
When the entrées arrive, you'll be glad you didn't overload on pasta. The roasted pork was a huge, fall-off-the-bone hunk of slowly cooked meat that hinted of rosemary; the grilled big-eye tuna was meticulous slices of pearl-pink fish given a Mediterranean accent with heirloom tomatoes and olives. Accompanying wines varied according to each course as expected, but we really like that we were given a card, noting the wines, so we could keep track. (This is a place that takes its wines—all Italian, of course—very seriously.) A silky panna cotta and zabaglione with seasonal berries were lovely, traditional finishes.
The pastry chef, Jason Gehring, is to be complimented. On another visit, this time at a table in the enoteca, we ended our meal with a torta nonna, a fetching name for "grandma's cake" that brought childlike joy with its house-made peach ice cream; local, sliced peaches; and dainty buttermilk cake. It was a delightful way to end a meal of fried squash (pre-doused with licorice-tasting sambuca), tagliatelle with beet greens and pleasantly crispy chicken slivers, and a heavenly orecchiette, lush with fried sage leaves and Tuscan pecorino.
Cinghiale may have struggled to find a niche in the beginning, but it has evolved into a restaurant with a talented kitchen that gives customers a variety of dining experiences, depending on whether they want casual or formal and what they want to pay. That's the best part: You get to choose.

The Evolution Of Daft Punk's Stage Helmets
Note: Full-size version of the graphic HERE.
Daft Punk, best known for me tying strings to glowsticks and swinging them around my dorm room to 'Around the World', wear futuristic looking helmets in concert to hide their faces (I suspect they were both maimed by robots as children). And this is a chart depicting the evolution of their fancy helmetry. Pretty cool, right? It is. So cool, in fact, I've decided to start blogging with my own custom headgear. Sure it's just a styrofoam bicycle helmet my mom makes me wear so I don't bang my head on the monitor, but still. I put stickers on it.

May 14, 2012
At that time, the city reached a deal with the Massachusetts Motor Transportation Association to encourage truckers to use Cross Street, rather than Commercial Street in the North End, according to published reports at the time the ban was lifted in May 2010.An institute with experience in the field of hazmat transport was hired to review the ban and four more public hearings were held, according to the mayor's office.The Massachusetts Motor Transportation Association says it found major flaws in that report.MMTA's review, conducted by Visual Risk Technologies, a Tennessee/Washington, D.C.-based research firm contracted by MMTA, found that the Boston report did not analyze the correct hazardous materials route. Federal regulations require the current legal route to be used as the baseline for comparison."Implementation of the city's plan will increase the public health risk for a wider swath of Massachusetts residents, slow emergency response times, increase costs to businesses and raise the cost of oil and gas for tens of thousands of residents on the South Shore," says Anne Lynch, executive director of the MMTA. Other problems MMTA says it found with the Boston report are as follows: - The alternate route that Mayor Menino recommended has an accident expectancy double that of the through-route alternative. - There is a difference in preparedness between the response capability in the City of Boston and the rest of the region. Boston-based response units can respond within five to 10 minutes, but getting an operational team on-scene in other areas can take up to 30 to 60 minutes, the report says. In locations where significant congestion might occur, the ability for adequate response to arrive on the scene of an accident would further increase these times. The 1996 Routing Guide instructs analysts to use a 10-minute response time to determine adequate emergency response coverage from adequately capable teams. Response times greater than the 10-minute window are, therefore, not meeting the defined adequacy.- The Boston Report lacked discussion of the specific hazmat movements under consideration before the alternative selection process is described. - The report used the argument that U.S. DOT regulations adequately protect the population and the environment, so there is no need to consider the increased environmental risk. Given the number of sensitive environmental areas on the proposed alternate route, including the Cambridge water supply, environmental risk must be determined. - The analysis of the burden on commerce in the Boston Report is exclusively focused on the local transportation of petroleum products and particularly those that are moved in the greater Boston area. There are other product movements that should be considered as well, including long-haul shipments moving longer distances than those analyzed, specifically to communities in other areas that will be impacted by reduced product delivery and by increased cost.According to The Boston Globe, the mayor's office said the transportation department is also considering a extending the ban through the evening.To view the entire review, click here.

User Review for Step2 Fantasy Vanity
Bought if for my granddaughter when she was 3. She is now a tall 6, and still plays with it daily. Unlike the furniture-type vanities there are no sharp edges or corners for a pre-schooler to run into. It can easily be moved out of the way when cleaning; requires minimal care; and is sturdy enough that I have on occasion sat on the stool for her to give me a makeover. Biggest surprise of all is that the stickers have held up through the years!

It came on time and my Grandson loves it.Thank You.
User Review for Step2 Four Seasons Playhouse
My daughter loves her playhouse. It was very easy to put together. A little smaller than I thought it would be but great for a small child.
User Review for Step2 Four Seasons Playhouse
I bought this playhouse for my granddaughter. She loves it! It was easy to assemble, the doorbell is a great hit!
User Review for Badger Basket Folding Doll Cradle
This was a great deal for the price. The construction is surprisingly good and the material is very nice!
Pretend Play
We have a various number of pretend play toys to really get your child involved by using their imagination.
Some of our Favorite Imaginative Toys include:
- Action Figures
- Holiday and Religious Toys
- Play Kitchens
- Play Sets
- Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Action Figures
Action figures are great toys to help children develop their creative abilities and learn the art of pretending. We have a wonderful selection of action figures that include everything from prehistoric animals and Noah's ark and bugs in a box to Cinderella and from pasture pals to pirates. Our Cowboys and Indians or Medieval Times sets will even give children some insight into specific historical time periods. Each action figure is safe with no harmful parts.
Holiday and Religious Toys
Religious toys and holiday toys are very similar because religion is such a large part of many holidays. Children like to emulate adults and religious toys provide the child with a chance for emulation. Imaginative toys are fun because they allow the child to use the imagination in a realistic setting with family and friends.
Play Kitchens
Play kitchens are a fantastic way to allow your child to use their imagination. Play kitchens can run the gamut from basic to fully loaded. Some of the different models of child play kitchens include toy microwaves, refrigerators, dishwasher and ovens. These single unit models of play kitchens are sturdy and very ergonomic.
Play kitchens are a great way for your child to use their imagination and act like a grown-up. With play kitchens, however, your child may need some extra accessories to help them use their imagination to the fullest. We offer a nice selection of play food to help the child use their imagination. Assortments of play food feature everything from canned foods to meats to different desserts. Play food is essential when it comes to using play kitchens, but you may need some other accessories as well. Some kitchen accessories include pots and pans, a play cutting board and knife. Your child can prepare all kinds of play food the right way and learn about using a knife the safe and proper way before they take it to the real kitchen. Play kitchens make great gifts, but having the perfect accessories is just as important!
Our best selling play kitchen is the KidKraft Play Kitchen. This beautiful set comes complete with a refrigerator, freezer, oven, sink and microwave. This kid-sized favorite is sure to impress the young chefs in your life.
Play Sets
Play sets are a great way for the child to use his imagination. Play sets can let children imitate the careers and everyday activities of a grown-up. Play sets can enhance the imagination of your child, making their understanding of the "real world" a little more real to them.
One of our more popular play sets are the magic sets. Your budding Houdini will love learning magic tricks with the Melissa & Doug Discovery Magic Set. This high quality set will provide your little magician with all the basics to perform amazing illusions and crafty slight-of-hand tricks.
And, for the child who loves farms and animals, we offer the Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Barn. This top quality barn features large sliding front doors, large stalls, stable doors, hayloft and a convenient carry handle for playtime on the go. Also included are seven detailed farm animals, including a pig and horse, for an endless barnyard adventure.
Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Everyone loves getting invited to a puppet show! There is lots of fun to be had with puppets and puppet theaters for both children and parents. Puppets provide the child with a chance to get involved with imaginative play and really let their imagination run completely wild. Not only are puppets great for your child's imagination, they are a great means of artistic expression and communication. Most children will have an easy time relating to puppets from a very early age since they often use their imagination to make inanimate objects and characters come to life.

Noctua Releases PWM Controlled NF-A14 140mm Case Fan
Subject: Cases and Cooling | May 3, 2013 - 06:32 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: pwm, noctua, nf-a14, fan
Austrian PC Cooling manufacturer Noctua has released a new fan called the NF-A14. The new fan is PWM controlled and aimed at case or watercooling radiator cooling. The NF-A14 uses a square frame and features higher static pressure than the NF-P13 along with a maximum speed of 1500RPM.
The fan kit comes with the fan itself, mounting screws, a rubber mounting system to reduce vibration, a 30mm extension cable, low-noise adapter, and a 4-pin Y splitter cable that allows two PWM fans to be connected to a single motherboard fan header. The new Noctua NF-A14 comes with a 6 year warranty.
You can find more information on Noctua's website as well as the full press release after the break.

Possible power supply issues for Intel Haswell CPUs
Subject: Cases and Cooling, Processors | May 1, 2013 - 03:07 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: power supply, Intel, idle, haswell, c7, c6
I came across an interesting news story posted by The Tech Report this morning that dives into the possibility of problems with Intel's upcoming Haswell processors and currently available power supplies. Apparently, the new C6 and C7 idle power states that give the new Haswell architecture benefits for low power scenarios place a requirement of receiving a 0.05 amps load on the 12V2 rail. (That's just 50 milliamps!) Without that capability, the system can exhibit unstable behavior and a quick look at the power supply selector on Intel's own website is only listing a couple dozen that support the feature.
This table from VR-Zone, the source of the information initially, shows the difference between the requirements for 3rd (Ivy Bridge) and 4th generation (Haswell) processors. The shift is an order of magnitude and is quite a dramatic change for PSU vendors. Users of Corsair power supplies will be glad to know that among those listed with support on the Intel website linked above were mostly Corsair units!
A potential side effect of this problem might be that motherboard vendors simply disable those sleep states by default. I don't imagine that will be a problem for PC builders anyway since most desktop users aren't really worried about the extremely small differences in power consumption they offer. For mobile users and upcoming Haswell notebook designs the increase in battery life is crucial though and Intel has surely been monitoring those power supplies closely.
I asked our in-house power supply guru, Lee Garbutt, who is responsible for all of the awesome power supply reviews on pcper.com, what he thought about this issue. He thinks the reason more power supplies don't support it already is for power efficiency concerns:
Most all PSUs have traditionally required "some load" on the various outputs to attain good voltage regulation and/or not shut down. Not very many PSUs are designed yet to operate with no load, especially on the critical +12V output. One of the reasons for this is efficiency. Its harder to design a PSU to operate correctly with a very low load AND to deliver high efficiency. It would be easy just to add some bleed resistance across the DC outputs to always have a minimal load to keep voltage regulation under control but then that lowers efficiency.
Obsidian Series for under $100
If you need a case for your next PC build, the chances are good that Corsair has a model that you'll like. Ranging from the obscenely large Obsidian 900D to the $69 Carbide 200R and just about everything in between, Corsair has a ton of options Today we are reviewing the brand new entrant to the Obsidian series, the 350D, that brings Corsair to the Micro-ATX form factor.
The Obsidian series is the flagship chassis line from Corsair and typically means you are getting the best of the best from the expanding components company. With an MSRP of just $99 you are definitely making some sacrifices on features and on size, limiting us to Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboards and systems.
The front panel has an attractive brushed finish to it with removable front panel (and fan filter).
Connections up top include headphones, microphone as well as a pair of USB 3.0 ports. There power button is right in the center with dual LEDs on each side. The reset button is just to the right of the mic port and is recessed enough to prevent accidental presses.

Noctua Offers Free Alternative Mounting Kit for Low-Profile NH-L9a Cooler
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 26, 2013 - 12:30 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: noctua, nh-l9a, hsf, cooler, mini-itx, low profile cooler
Noctua, an Austrian company known for its high-end air CPU coolers has announced that it will be offering up alternatvie mounting kits to users of its low profile NH-L9a cooler that have incompatible motherboards. Certain mini-ITX motherboards that place components on the back of the motherboard around the processor socket are incompatible with the company's existing SecureFirm 2 mounting kit because the backplate cannot be installed.
The new alternative mounting system for the NH-L9a CPU cooler uses Noctua's NM-APS3 spacers that go in place of the standard backplate. The spacers go in between the motherboard and screws, but are small enough to not run into any components installed in the area normally reserved for a CPU backplate. Two such boards that Noctua has found to be incompatible are the mini-ITX AsRock FM2A75M-ITX and AsRock FM2A85X-ITX.
Users with an incompatible motherboard and NH-L9a cooler can obtain the alternative mounting kit for free by contacting Noctua's customer service line and providing them with a proof of purchase (scan, photo, or electronic invoice) receipt for both the Noctua cooler and an incompatible motherboard. Additionally, Noctua will be including both the standard SecureFirm 2 and alternative mounting kits in the retail NH-L9a cooler box from now on.
It is nice to see Noctua continuing its tradition of good customer care. They many not be as popular as other cooler vendors in the US but it seems they are a company willing to go the extra mile for its enthusiast customers.
Triathlor? Seriously Enermax?
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 25, 2013 - 06:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: PSU, modular psu, enermax, TriAthlor, 650W
Platimax, Triathlor and NAXN; perhaps Enermax is not gifted at picking names for their PSUs but for the most part they are known for creating solid PSUs which do the job they are intended to. Setting aside the name, this 650W mostly modular PSU has four 12V rails that combine to a peak of 54A, 648W which is certainly enough to power a modest multi-GPU system. [H]ard|OCP put it through their own special brand of torture and were pleased with the results, a pass on all of their testing albeit results which trail the competitions offerings. That keeps this PSU in the running as far as performance but at a current cost of $120 and perhaps higher in the future, it is hard to recommend this PSU over ones that do not cost as much and provide power of a quality at least equal to if not better than the Triathlor.
"Today we bring you an "athletic" power supply from Enermax that weighs in at 650 watts. The new Triathlor series sports plenty of features that enthusiasts will like including Silent Cooling, Flexible Cable Management, is marketed as being Rock Stable at All Loads. Enermax ads that, "The Triathlor FC is not a blinky poser."

Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 25, 2013 - 02:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: SFF, Obsidian Series 350D, obsidian, corsair
Fremont, California — April 25, 2013 — Corsair, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components, today announced the Obsidian Series 350D High Performance Micro ATX PC case. Available with a solid or windowed side panel, the Obsidian Series 350D brings unprecedented expansion and cooling options to smaller, more portable, high-performance PCs.
Like larger cases in the premium Obsidian Series line, the Obsidian Series 350D sports a clean, black, brushed-aluminum styling. The case is also designed for fast and neat builds with tool-free access and drive installation as well as an innovative cable routing system.
The Obsidian Series 350D case supports both Micro ATX and mini ITX motherboards and has plenty of interior space for liquid CPU cooling, dual 3.5" hard drives, dual 2.5" SSDs, dual 5.25" drives, and dual full-length graphics cards. It also has five expansion slots and five fan mounting points with room for two 240mm radiators. The front panel provides convenient access to USB 3.0 and audio connectors.
"The Obsidian 350D's versatile expansion options give builders the ability to pack a lot of performance into a smaller form factor," said Thi La, Senior VP & GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. "Its stylish, compact design makes it a perfect high-performance PC case for smaller living spaces or for gaming LAN parties."
The MSRP is $109.99.
Do you dare put Super Pipes in Corsair's Super Tower

Tagged: corsair, obsidian, Obsidian 990D, super tower
If you are looking for a housing for a super system, Corsair's monumental new Obsidian 900D, aka Super Tower, might be for you. The midget in the picture below is the 200R mid-tower, cowering in front of the 40lb, 27.3"H x 10"W x 25.6"L 900D. Triple TITANS and terabytes of storage are nothing to this case, it will swallow them and leave plenty of elbow room for you to tweak a fully installed system. You really have to read [H]ard|OCP's full review to understand just how many features have been added to this case; certainly enough to win it a Gold Award.
"Corsair is finally pulling back the review embargo sheets on its new "Super Tower" 900D PC case. Details and pictures have been leaking out for months, but now we finally get to see if all the hype is justified. If you are wondering what a "super tower" is, well let's just say there will be a lot of desks that the 900D will not fit under."

NZXT's New "Grid" Hub Can Consolidate Up To 10 Case Fans
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 19, 2013 - 08:46 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nzxt, case fan, fan controller, fan hub, cooling, grid
NZXT has announced that it is making its Grid fan hub available to the masses. No longer only available with certain NZXT cases, the Grid fan hub takes a single Molex power cable and provides 3-pin power outputs for up to ten fans.
The NZXT kit will come with the Grid hub, a 200mm long Molex power adapter, a single 200mm long (3-pin) female-to-female adapter cable, and two 200mm (3-pin) fan extension cables. NZXT is also including five black cable ties to assist with cable management.
Unfortunately, the Grid does not provide functionality to allow adjustable fan speeds. All fans connected to the Grid hub will run at 100% unless other means (such as resistors) are used inline to slow them down. If you only care for speed, and are in a situation where your motherboard does not support enough fan headers but you cannot justify a full fan controller the Grid might be for you. For the price, it is serviceable in that regard.
Speaking of pricing, the Grid fan hub will be available soon with a MSRP of $11.99. More information is available on NZXT's product page.
Is the Grid something that you could see yourself using?
Lian-Li Launching Two New Mini-ITX Cases In May
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 19, 2013 - 07:03 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: PC-Q28, PC-Q27, mini-itx, Lian Li, aluminum case
PC Chassis manufacturer Lian-Li has launched two new mini-ITX cases that will be available next month. The PC-Q27 and PC-Q28 are both brushed aluminum cases that accommodate a single graphics card, a mini-ITX motherboard, at least one case fan, and several hard drives.
The PC-Q27 is the smallest of the two cases at 7.8" x 11.8" x 9.4." The case is constructed of aluminum and the outside features a black or silver brushed aluminum finish. The front of the case features a single 5.25" optical drive bay, a LED-lit power button, and two USB 3.0 ports on the right side of the case. Internally, the PC-Q27 case uses Lian-Li's rail motherboard mounting system for mini-ITX boards. It can host a single graphics card up to 195mm in length, two 3.5" hard drives, and one 5.25" drive. The case is cooled by a single 120mm bottom-mounted fan when the hard disk drive bay is removed. To facilitate airflow, the case has vents along the bottom and rear of the case. The case is held up by case feet to allow the fan to pull in cool air.
Meanwhile, the PC-Q28 is a bit larger and wider at 8.9" x 12" x 13.5." IT also comes in a silver or black brushed aluminum design. This case is the successor to Lian-Li's PC-Q18. It can hold a mini-ITX motherboard, a single GPU up to 290mm in length, and up to seven 3.5" hard drives. The mini-ITX case features two removable hard drive cages and two fans. There is a single 140mm fan located on the bottom of the case that acts as an intake (and includes a dust filter to keep the case internals clean), and one 120mm exhaust fan on the top of the case. The outside of the case features four case feet to lift the case off the ground, rounded corners, and a simple front panel that host a power button and 5.25" drive bay. The right side of the case hosts two USB 3.0 ports and two analog HD audio jacks.
Both of Lian-Li's new mini-ITX cases will be available sometime in May. The smaller PC-Q27 has an MSRP of $78.99 while the PC-Q28 will cost $118.99.

The upper echelon of the Seasonic X-Series, 850W of solid power
Subject: Cases and Cooling | April 15, 2013 - 06:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: seasonic, Seasonic X-Series, 850W, PSU, modular psu
One drawback to impressing [H]ard|OCP with the quality of one of your PSUs is that the bar is now set that much higher for the next model they review. Seasonic is one such company that has a great reputation that they have to live up to with their new X-850 PSU. The half dozen PCIe 6+2 power plugs are a good start, as is being able to provide up to 99% of total power to the four 12V rails and the fully modular cabling is always appreciated. The real question is how it fared on the test bench, so go find out if it just makes it or if it passes the torture test with flying colours.
Seasonic is a long time favorite of HardOCP editors as you will find a Seasonic PSU in many builds we have done over the years. Today Seasonic pushes its X-Series forward just a bit more building its first gold efficiency rated fully modular enthusiast power supply. But will it blend?"

When 29-year-old event planner Chloe Turner wakes up penniless and without a passport in the Plaza Athénée Hotel in Paris, she only has a few fleeting memories of Claude, the suave French man who convinced her to have that extra glass of wine before taking all of her possessions and slipping out the door. As the overly organized, go-to gal for her three drama queen younger sisters, her anxiety-ridden father, and her needy clients, Chloe is normally prepared for every disaster that comes her way. But with her wedding to her straight-laced, lawyer fiancé back in DC only days away and a French con-man on the loose with her engagement ring, this is one catastrophe she never could have planned for.
As Chloe tries to figure out a way home, she runs into an even bigger problem—the police are after her due to suspicious activity now tied to her bank account. Chloe's only hope at retrieving her passport and clearing her name lies in the hands of a rugged, undercover agent named Julien who has a few secrets of his own. As Chloe follows this mysterious, and—although she doesn't want to admit it—sexy French man on a wild chase through the sun-kissed countryside of France, she discovers a magical world she never knew existed and has to decide if the perfectly ordered life she's built for herself back home is really what she wants after all.
