Sometimes it's difficult to take time out of an already busy schedule to work on something you love. You might not be able to take days off work, or have an entire evening taken up with travelling as well as learning in order to pursue your dream career.
Comic Con
Last weekend saw the annual convention 'Comic Con' take place in San Diego. The event is always extremely popular as it offers attendees an opportunity to meet directors and actors, witness never before seen footage and be the first to hear about new releases, with this year being no different.
Shaken or Stirred?
For those of you who are avid fans of James Bond you will probably know that the film franchise celebrates the landmark of hitting 50 years since the original release.
Burton Talks Actresses, Stopmotion And Frankenweenie
Following our previous blog post about Tim Burton's new project 'Frankenweenie', we bring you a further update via the IGN website.
Shark Feeding
Recently we posted about our Graduation Day's at Escape Studios, but we thought we'd let you in on what happens after the celebrations are over.
Mark Spevick VS. Indiana Jones... Bridge
Don't you all just love it when our resident VFX tutor Mark Spevick shares his knowledge with us? And don't you just love watching, with bated breath, Indiana Jones conquering new feats as he crosses a rope bridge that appears to be on it's last tethers above a dangerous gorge? And of course we know you'll just love to know that we've put the two together.
The Amazing Making-Of The Amazing Spider-Man
OK, you all know by now how much we like talking about certain CG heavy / animation films, and it might be quite obvious why this is. Yes, generally it's because the film features one of our favourite directors, or we love a certain genre, action hero or story line, but another reason for us to get so excited about a new release is for the array of behind the scenes footage for the making of, on how certain sequences were achieved!
Rise Of The Fairy Tale Creatures...
DreamWorks have released two trailers (second here) for their upcoming animation film Rise of the Guardians.
Thunderbirds Are Go!
We're always hot on the trail of the world leaders when it comes to visual effects. However, as much as we can rant and rave about present and future releases, it's often worthwhile to be reminded of memories from the past, to gain some perspective, and appreciate exactly how far we've come…
Happy 10th Birthday V-Ray!
Some of you may, or may not, know that V-ray is currently celebrating it's 10 year anniversary. So, to mark the occasion, what could they be doing? Are they throwing a week long wild party? A massive shopping spree for all employees? Or maybe a month's extra holiday time to all...
The Joy of Stop Motion Animation - Behind the Scenes Special
Working in the CG industry, I have always been fascinated with stop motion animation. Growing up watching films like Tim Burton's 'Nightmare Before Christmas', I have always wondered what goes on behind the scenes and how it all works. And, funnily enough, a couple of months ago, the flat where I live actually turned into an animation studio overnight.
Ben Cantor Tips
There is a lot of nonsense out there on the internet, and often the line between fact and fiction is a blurred one. For the VFX industry however, the net provides a sturdy back catalogue of fact based webinars, tutorials and breakdowns, with many of the key players in the business regularly exhibiting online what they do. The internet is truly a tool that when utilised, can inspire and educate.
Wreck-It Ralph
I think it's safe to say that most of you now know I love a bit of Disney. So, whenever I hear news of new releases, you get to hear about them. Therefore, I would like to bring to your attention the trailer for Disney's new release; Wreck-it Ralph.
Do you only have eyes for NUKE?
A few months ago our very own Simon Richardson, Escape's in-house 2D genius, posted a series of blogs declaring his undying love for NUKE.
11 Days And Counting
The suspense and build up to The Dark Knight Rises is literally killing us at Escape, we are so excited for the release date it's almost agony how slow time seems to be going. It also doesn't make it any easier that new footage, trailers and behind the scene sneak peeks keep being released!
From Past To Present
It's always interesting to see how different studios rank, whether it's in regards to gaming, films or television. On Wednesday, Develop Online released its top 100 best studios, which, let's be honest is always good to have a nose at. This time, however, what made it more interesting for us is the fact that two escapees have gone on to work for the number one voted UK game's developer, Traveller's Tales!
Scene Stealers
Film4's innovative new project 'Scene Stealers', is one that waters the seed of creative license, and thus, one that is screaming out to our free thinking, boundary smashing escapees. The project is an opportunity to get your work onto a global platform and represent the world of Visual Effects.
Super Trooper
Don't you just hate it when you watch a couple get together that you've been rooting for throughout the movie and then a giant mutant bug stabs her in the stomach and it's all over? Yeah we hate it too. If you're um-ing and ah-ing where this scene-setting image is from then it was, of course, the original Starship Troopers film, released in 1997.

About the artist
Although formed in September 1996, Saliva didn't hit the mainstream until 2001, when the band's mix of angsty hard rock and hip-hop helped earn a double-platinum certification for its sophomore album, Every Six Seconds. Two of the album's songs had already appeared on Saliva's self-released debut, which was issued in 1997 on the band's own label. Singer Josey Scott, guitarists Chris Dabaldo and Wayne ... more

Tue 4 Dec 2007
This routine happened to us at a restaurant last night. It's becoming a common occurrence. This is one of those steak and chop houses where a strip steak is $39 and a rib-eye is $42 and everything else is a la carte.
We're seated at the table. One waiter brings water and says, "You're waiter will be here in a moment." So the official waiter comes, says hello, my name is whatever and I'll be taking care of you tonight — taking care of us? — hands each of us a menu and puts the wine list on the table.
"May I start you off with a cocktail or a glass of wine?" he asks.
I say, "No, we'll look at the wine list and the menu."
So he ambles off and we look at the menu, compare ideas about what we might order and what kind of wine we're in the mood for. Usually LL and I order either fish or red meat so one bottle of white or red wine will do. So we're mulling these things over, and I'm looking at the wine list, and the moments flee by, and LL says, "We haven't gotten any bread." Indeed, we have not. And she adds, "I wonder if there are any specials we should know about." Indeed, we have not been told about any specials.
The waiter shows up finally and asks, "Have you had a chance to select your wine?"
I say, "Well, yes, but could we have some bread?"
He looks amazed. "Well," he says, "don't you want to order the wine first?"
And I say, "No, the wine is to go with dinner, and when the wine comes we'll want some bread to go with it." So off he goes to bring us some bread.
Which he does, and then we order the wine, and then he has to go get the wine and then he opens the wine and goes through all the folderol and THEN we get around to the matter of reciting the specials and ordering dinner.
By now, a time zone has slipped away to the east. Friends, life is too short to sit in restaurants where the preferred method of business is to get the cocktails and wine on the table as fast as possible and get patrons good and oiled before allowing them to decide what they want to eat or even bringing them some bread with which to buffer their stomachs.
It's not — to be fair — the waiter's fault. He was only doing what management tells him to do. But, lord love a duck, isn't it enough that we're paying $60 or so each for dinner? Must we be led down the path of inebriation too?

Dale Cruse Says:
December 4th, 2007 at 10:13 pmAfter living in Germany for three years, it still amazes me to note the difference in food service back in the States – my homeland. In Germany, you can take as long as you want to order. Take as long as you want to eat it. Order dessert and/or coffee if you want. Smoke a butt. Whatever. Then – when you're ready – signal your waiter/waitress that you're ready to pay and leave. Very relaxing. But here in the States it now feels like waiters/waitresses are only interesting in flipping your table. "Here's the wine list. What would you like to order?" Uh, can you let me actually read it first?! Take your time!
Robert Thornton Says:
December 5th, 2007 at 2:08 amI wouldn't be too sure the management has told him to do that. It's not at all unlikely the management hasn't told him much of anything at all.
Mike Says:
December 5th, 2007 at 4:35 pmDifferent strokes for different folks, I guess, but I agree with Dale that the European meal is much more civilized. I actually prefer it when I am asked about a drink and given the chance to enjoy it before ever seeing a menu. A smaller point, of course, is that I'd prefer to order a wine that benefits from breathing early, so that we do not wait to open it until after the meal has arrived.
Fredric Koeppel Says:
December 6th, 2007 at 7:16 amThese are all good points, Rob's from the perspective of a seasoned waiter. Americans, at least under most circumstances, are used to not so leisurely a pace as diners in Europe. I think my main complaint is the waiter's combination of haste ("quick, get that drink ordered") and slacker attitude ("the bread will get here when it gets here, dud").

April 2nd, 2009 at 6:08 pmI know exactly what you mean about the pushing of the drinks. Drink up kids. Let's get this party started.
I have another issue but I am sure this is just something that bugs me and not others. After the initial pour from the server I prefer to refill our glasses ourselves.
Excuse the double post after not having any wine I still managed to click on the wrong post to comment. My comment belongs here.They often pour too much in my glass or they refill the glasses of the people who are not really wanting more. Of course you can speak up but often you are engaged in conversation (probably loud due to the fact they have plied you with so much booze to start with)and you don't even notice that the one glass you were going to have has now become your third.
Just venting. Carry on. -

Whole-grain cereal is one of the best breakfasts you can have: it's full of essential vitamins, it helps lower your risk for weight gain, it's an easy way to get calcium and more! It's also easily customizable, since you can add toppings to your liking. We've told you before: blueberries are the ultimate superfood. At only 84 calories and 3 grams of fiber per cup, they have the highest antioxidant level of all commonly consumed fruit. Bananas are an obvious source of potassium, and a grapefruit a day may help ward off heart disease and osteoporosis--not to mention, people with the most vitamin C in their blood had the lowest body-fat percentages, say researchers at Arizona State University at Mesa. That's a nutrient-packed bowl of cereal!
Drink up! This preventative tea can help ease almost all your aches and pains. Ginger is a great herbal remedy for fighting colds, but it can also help reduce nausea, relieve menstrual pain, stimulate digestion, freshen breath and increase libido. It can also calm inflammation, and preliminary studies suggest that ginger may lower cholesterol and help prevent the blood from clotting--an important step in preventing heart attacks and strokes.

Library and Archives Canada developed the IMCC to help federal departments and agencies assess their current IM capabilities against industry standards and best practices and develop a strategic plan to improve their IM capacity and practices. The IMCC was developed in collaboration with stakeholders, other GC central agencies and subject matter experts in the public and private sectors. Proof of concept was achieved in three successful pilot projects; the first on a department-wide basis, the second in a government cluster environment and the third at the project level within a department. The 6 elements and thirty-two criteria in the IMCC bring together all elements of information management practices.
To date, over thirty (30) Canadian federal government departments and agencies have successfully completed an IMCC self-assessment. The IMCC continues to be the tool of preference in the GC and the IMCC tool and methodology have garnered significant national and international attention.
Below is the IM Capacity Check Methodology as well as additional resources to assist you in completing an assessment within your institution.

Pina Bausch was one of Europe's most celebrated choreographers, fusing the discipline of ballet with the freedom of modern dance and approaching her material in a bold, innovative and emotionally compelling manner. Bausch made the acquaintance of German filmmaker Wim Wenders, and he began making a documentary about her life and work. The focus of Wenders' film shifted dramatically in 2009, when Bausch was diagnosed with cancer and died only a few days later. Wenders considered abandoning the project, but...more

Sep 16, 2011Machinarium is a stunning game. Working just as naturally on the iPad as it did on the PC, it's the kind of flawless experience that all point and click fans should check out immediately. They won't be disappointed by any means.
Sep 23, 2011Machinarium is hard. I mean it, it won't hold your hand through the game, and you won't complete it in an hour. But odds are, you won't mind the difficulty. Just the emotion and cuteness of the robot, even without dialogue, will make you smile.
Sep 12, 2011Quotation forthcoming.
Sep 14, 2011Machinarium is a must-play for point-and-click fans. It hearkens back to the early days of the genre with a brutal level of difficulty that will keep you puzzled for hours.
Sep 28, 2011Attractive hand drawn graphics feature twisted scrap heaps, cool looking contraptions and droids of all shapes and sizes. The soothing mood music, meanwhile, helps put you at ease.
Sep 21, 2011Two and a half years later, Machinarium still is one of the best adventure and a must play for every iPad 2 owner.
Sep 8, 2011Machinarium is irresistible - a splendid little point-and-click adventure bolstered by a truly artful sense of character, storytelling, and world design.
Sep 12, 2011An absolutely brilliant take on the classic point and click adventure plot, with enchanting visuals and sounds, and a plethora of unique challenges that are sure to bend your mind.
Oct 29, 2011Our sole complaint is its baffling demand for an iPad 2; we honestly can't see what it's doing that needs the extra power. It spends quite a bit of time loading and there are lots of animated things going on, but nothing especially excessive that we'd expect to require an iPad 2. What do we know, though? If you have the technology, we strongly recommend it.
Oct 2, 2011Machinarium, as a whole, is remarkably tidy.
Apr 17, 2012Machinarium is a true highlight in the point and click adventure genre.

There are various forms of sexual violence. Rape, the most often cited form of sexual violence, is defined in many societies as sexual intercourse with another person without his/ her consent. Rape is committed when the victim's resistance is overwhelmed by force or fear or other coercive means. However, the term sexual and gender-based violence encompasses a wide variety of abuses that includes sexual threats, exploitation, humiliation, assaults, molestation, domestic violence, incest, involuntary prostitution (sexual bartering), torture, insertion of objects into genital openings and attempted rape. Female genital mutilation and other harmful traditional practices (including early marriage, which substantially increases maternal morbidity and mortality) are forms of sexual and gender-based violence against women which cannot be overlooked nor justified on the grounds of tradition, culture or social conformity. Since perpetrators of sexual and gender-based violence are often motivated by a desire for power and domination, rape is common in situations of armed conflict and internal strife. An act of forced sexual behaviour can threaten the victim's life. Like other forms of torture, it is often meant to hurt, control and humiliate, while violating a person's physical and mental integrity. Perpetrators may include fellow refugees, members of other clans, villages, religious or ethnic groups, military personnel, relief workers and members of the host population, or family members (for example, when a parent is sexually abusing a child). The enormous pressures of refugee life, such has having to live in closed camps, can often lead to domestic violence. In many cases of sexual violence, the victim knows the perpetrator. Because incidents of sexual and gender-based violence are under-reported, the true scale of the problem is unknown. The World Bank estimates that less than 10 per cent of sexual violence cases in non-refugee situations are reported. Two
principal types of under-reporting are found in refugee situations:
(The number of recently reported rape cases in stabilised refugee settings can be found in Table 1.) It is essential to know that the problem of sexual violence is serious. Reporting and interviewing techniques should be adapted to encourage both victims and relief workers to report and document incidents. Reporting and follow-up must be sensitive, discreet and confidential so no further suffering is caused and lives are not further endangered. In reporting, it is recommended that definitions (such as confirmed rape cases or sexual violence, in general) are provided and a rate calculated (for example, the number of reported cases per 10,000 people over a given period of time). This rate would allow for monitoring of trends and comparisons with other areas. Sexual
and gender-based violence has acute physical, psychological and social
consequences. Survivors often experience psychological trauma: depression,
terror, guilt, shame, loss of self-esteem. They may be rejected by spouses
and families, ostracised, subjected to further exploitation or to punishment.
They may also suffer from unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion, sexually
transmitted diseases (including HIV), sexual dysfunction, trauma to
the reproductive tract, and chronic infections leading to pelvic inflammatory
disease and infertility. Causes and Circumstances of Sexual Violence Sexual and gender-based violence can occur during all phases of a refugee situation: prior to flight, during flight, while in the country of asylum, during repatriation and reintegration. Prevention and response measures must be adapted to suit the different circumstances of each phase. In conflict situations, sexual violence may be politically motivated -- when, for example, mass rape is used to dominate or sexual torture is used as a method of interrogation. It may result from long-standing tensions and feuds and the collapse of traditional societal support. In situations in which the refugees are considered to be materially privileged compared to the local population, neighbouring groups may attack the refugees. The psychological strains of refugee life may aggravate aggressive behaviour towards women. Male disrespect towards women may be reinforced in refugee situations where unaccompanied women and girls may be regarded by camp guards and male refugees as common sexual property. If men are responsible for distributing goods and necessities, women may be subject to sexual exploitation. Those women without proper personal documentation for collecting food rations or shelter material are especially vulnerable. Women may have to travel to remote distribution points for food, water and fuel; their living quarters may be far from latrines and washing facilities; their sleeping quarters may be unlocked and unprotected. Lack
of police protection and lawlessness also contribute to an increase
in sexual violence. Police officers, military personnel, relief workers,
camp administrators or other government officers may themselves be involved
in acts of abuse or exploitation. If there are no independent organisations,
such as UNHCR or NGOs, to ensure personal security within a camp, the
number of attacks often increases. A
multi-sectoral team approach is required to prevent and respond appropriately
to sexual and gender-based violence. A committee or task force should
be formed to design, implement and evaluate sexual violence programming
at the field level. Refugee representatives, UNHCR, UN partners, NGOs
and government authorities should be members of this task force. Each
member of the task force, representing relevant sectors/ partners (such
as protection, health, education, community services, security/ police,
site planning, etc.), should identify his/ her role and responsibilities
in preventing and responding to sexual and gender-based violence.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin
Today, as we celebrate Constitution Day, it is worthwhile to reflect on Franklin's words in the context of homeland security. Are President Bush's policies — military tribunals for captured combatants, closer surveillance of suspected terrorists, more expansive searches and wiretapping — intolerable assaults on our constitutional freedom that no amount of increased security can justify? Or are they grave and necessary sacrifices, stoically to be borne in the face of unprecedented danger? Perhaps they are neither.
Franklin was a man careful with his words; note what he says: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither...." Neither can be sacrificed at the expense of the other. Both are necessary, and rightly understood, both can be achieved. But if we would have both security and freedom, what then of our current situation? Professor Charles Kesler recently made the following observation:
[T]he spirit of homeland defense is not that of the militia of old, nor even that of the duck-and-cover civil defense drills of the Cold War-era (whose purpose was at least clear), much less that of the valiant passengers of flight 93. On the contrary: the predominant theme of homeland defense is not civic virtue but civic anxiety.... The epitome of these efforts is airport security.
Manifestly, airport security is not a system designed to catch terrorists. This is a system designed to whip the population into line, actually into several lines, each filled with resentful citizens, many shoeless, shuffling back and forth through screening portals. It is as if, in a single stroke, America had been returned to the soup lines of the Great Depression, except that there is no soup.... Of course, one of the byproducts of this approach is to generate among the flying public a sullen cynicism towards homeland security, and by extension towards the whole government. By the tortured logic of this program, however, that just goes to show why you can't trust the flying public!
Like many conservatives, we are offended at the most feckless and ineffective aspects of homeland security. We would put up with it, and more, if we were persuaded that it was actually about catching terrorists. And insofar as some of Bush's other policies are effective — greater cooperation among law enforcement, immigration, and customs agencies for instance — we applaud them.
The ACLU, on the other hand, is not much exercised about the hassles of airport security, but then it never was much concerned with the dignity and convenience of ordinary Americans. Rather, it sees in homeland security a recrudescence of the Palmer raids of the 1920's:
Responding with a vengeance to terrorist attacks in U.S. cities, an attorney general unleashes the full fury of the U.S. Justice Department on new immigrants. He sets up a vast new spy network to investigate suspicious people and activities, arrests 6,000 in two months on little or no evidence.... It has the ring of familiarity, but it just goes to show that history, to some extent, repeats itself. This overwrought and ultimately shameful pursuit of immigrants actually took place more than 80 years ago....
This is from the ACLU's new report, "Civil Liberties After 9/11." It is a document of high absurdity. Reading it, one would almost suspect that President Bush has repealed the Bill of Rights, disbanded the judiciary, made Islam illegal in the United States, and for good measure cut all federal funding for higher education (except, perhaps, the Electoral College).
The report prescinds entirely from the fact that the 9/11 terrorists were, all of them, young immigrant men from Arab nations. Blindly rolling past this reality — like a suitcase passing through an unplugged x-ray machine — the ACLU can report in genuine alarm that "the government continues to focus suspicion on immigrants." Prominent in it list of its horrors the report tells of "a Muslim woman [who] was subjected to a humiliating body search after refusing to remove her headscarf at O'Hare Airport in Chicago" (much worse, one supposes, than the congressional medal of honor winner having to remove his pants). And it boasts that it is contacting foreign embassies and consulates to distribute its "'Know Your Rights' pamphlet in seven languages, including Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi." Forget its spurious conception of "civil liberties," the ACLU isn't even concerned about Americans!
Yet there is a way to quiet the ACLU's hysteria, keep our shoes on in public places (mostly, anyway), and honor the Constitution all at the same time: win the war, quickly and decisively. Capture the terrorists, shatter their networks, overturn the regimes that sponsor them — international coalition or not. George Bush seemed to understand this in his U.N. speech. Perhaps he was recalling another line of old Ben's: "God helps those that help themselves."

good work
Nicely done. I would recommend telling your viewers to watch Salad Fingers first, or else they won't understand... Good parody. The breathing was especially well done, and the mood/style of Salad Fingers was well captured (in a mocking way, of course). I like Salad Fingers, but I definitely also appreciated the humor in this submission. Not much that could be improved...unfortunately, it doesn't have much potential as a series either. Still, good work.
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars August 24, 2004
it could have bin so good.
but it just missing the funny. sorry better luck next time.

I have been using the chrome browser on my TF101. Its a great browser, sometimes it loads page slow and force closes on hard web sites like The Verge. I was wondering browser everyone is using on their tablet?

Re: Which browser do you use?
I used to use Chrome, but since rooting and flashing CM10 (which is totally worth it! The OS is smooth!) I use the stock browser so I can set my User Agent to show the desktop site all the time since I use the tablet as a laptop.
Re: Which browser do you use?
I only use Firefox. It is the only Android browser that has some necessary add-ons, like LastPass and AdBlock. And it has a "close" button.
Dolphin has LastPass and "close", but no AdBlock.
Chrome does not have any of these features. Google hsd even banned some stan-alone add blockers!
Firefox is great and fast.

Michigan school is renovated with new window treatmentsJul 15 2010 Michigan school is renovated with new window treatments Almost $50 million has been donated to the project, which is focusing on everything from reconstruction and technological upgrades to a new transportation garage. The news source reports that $20 million alone is being used to provide the three structures with new windows, doors, boilers, ceilings, and a roof. "These are 30 or 40-year old buildings that have had few repairs done to them. You can relate it to owning a home," Superintendent Bryan Girbarch told the newspaper. He said that around 150 construction workers are working on the project every day, so the major changes can be ready for school in September. The news provider claims that the windows were an exceptional problem. In the cold months of the winter, the windowpanes were so drafty that frost and even snow drifts would accumulate in classrooms. Those who are looking to protect their home from drafts or from air conditioner leakage may want to consider honeycomb shades, which insulate a home beautifully and effectively during a hot summer and a cold winter.

Aurora Borealis Viewed From International Space Station
This is a series of videos of the Areola Borealis or whatever as seen from the International Space Station. JUST LIKE THE TITLE SAID. Because, if there's one thing I'm not, it's a liar. If there's two, it's handsome and a liar. Fun fact: they never included me in any of the school yearbooks even though I was always there on picture day. :(
Hit the jump for three different videos, the first of which I swear had dragons flying around.

With a guiding principle that has become a corporate motto, "Clean Our World" is the philosophy we have in mind when servicing our customers.

In January of 2008, Abanaki Corporation purchased Aerodyne, a company that has been manufacturing dust collectors for over 60 years. With products ranging from large dust collection systems, to low-cost, low-maintenance materials handling valves, the addition of Aerodyne gives Abanaki yet another tool to "Clean our World."
Based out of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, our state-of-the-art facility ensures Abanaki will meet current and future customer needs with an exciting generation of products that will become the industry standard for performance, productivity and pollution control.
This is truly an exciting time at Abanaki Corporation.

We appreciate their business, and look forward to serving our new partners as well.

Samsung 840 SSD
I would like to hear your thoughts on this particular SSD. It's going for $170 on Amazon right now and I have a $150 gift card, making this a steal for me.
I know it uses TLC flash vs MLC flash, but is there really any huge difference? My iMac only has SATA II and I know the 830 is only marginally faster than the 840, so do you think I would actually notice a difference? I'll probably be selling my iMac next year anyways, thus the longevity of the SSD isn't crucial to me. Let me know your thoughts and opinions and happy Thanksgiving to everyone! |

The 840 is really fast in read operations, so you can with it. I installed on in a friend MBP and he is really satisfied.

Remember theres a big difference in the 840 vs. the 840 Pro. I would pick the 830 over the 840, but the 840 Pro over the 830 any day.

no with sata 2 you will not notice a difference between the two. never ever. neither of them will run full speed on sata 2 but your imac will run much faster compared to a normal HDD especially applications will load much faster.

I think the only benchmark the 840 loses vs the 830 is sequential read, and that is still faster than SATA 3Gbps
In random reads and writes the 840 beats the 830. both being lower than 3Gbps The only thing to note is that the 840 will last a bit less than the 830. I bought 2 830s to put into my iMac not long ago around that price as well and the 840 was higher than that.

Thanks for the information! It's down to $150 on Amazon, so I think that's as cheap as it'll get for a 250GB SSD.
I know it'll have a bit of shorter life span than the 830, but I'll probably be selling my iMac when Haswell comes out anyways. |

Robert M. Peacock/Here's a summer homework assignment, in honor of National Iced Tea Month. (Don't panic, there's no sentence diagramming necessary.) Brew some iced tea, and carry it outside. Plop yourself down--preferably in a hammock--put your feet up, and slowly sip. Repeat all summer long. Iced tea begs one thing: that we slow down--waaaay down--and enjoy sweet, simple summer pleasures. Yahoo! Shine spoke to Denise Gee, author of Southern Cocktails, Porch Parties, and the forthcoming Sweet on Texas to learn the secrets of brewing a perfect glass of iced tea and having a perfectly sweet summer.
Related: Tell us what your first bites of summer will be
There's a saying below the Mason-Dixon line: "Sweet tea is the house wine of the South," says Gee. Expect unsweetened ice tea and prepare to be disappointed: "It's like you're a vegan at a barbecue restaurant," quips Gee. Despite regional traditions, dyed-in-the-wool Southerners and Yankee tea-drinkers alike are increasingly aware of their health and the consequences of downing several glasses of sugary drinks. One solution: going halfsies. In the South, diner waitresses walk among patrons carrying pitchers of both sweetened and unsweetened tea, pouring glasses that are "half and half." To please everyone at home, consider making your tea unsweetened and serving with superfine sugar or simple syrup. Each tea-drinker can then sweeten to her liking.
For some, not just any old tea will do. "You've got people who believe sweet tea should only be made with orange pekoe. It's a form of black tea but it's a little bit milder," explains Gee. "I'm a devotee of just black tea. It tends to not get bitter when it steeps." As for instant, if it's real deal iced tea you're after, don't even go there. "It's like instant grits. Just don't do it," she warns.
Most iced tea recipes will advise making an extra-strong tea concentrate, adding tea bags to a relatively small amount of water, then after its steeped and cooled, adding additional cold water. Why the two-step method? It's really just one of practicality: a smaller batch of liquid is easier to handle and pour than a gallon of boiling water.
Related: Make a crowd-pleasing guacamole
When it comes to steeping, many tea-makers tend to think more is more. "A lot of people think the longer they steep the tea the better the flavor [but] the biggest reason tea gets bitter is because you've over-steeped it," explains Gee. Fifteen to twenty minutes is all you need according to Gee, and some recipes lean even more cautiously toward the ten minute mark.
"After you let it steep, that's when you squeeze the living daylights out of those bags," says Gee. Squeezing the tea bags ekes out every drop of flavor. Helpful hint: If you're not using the large family-sized tea bags, always tie the tea bags together. It makes it much easier to fish them out and squeeze them all at once.
"The ultimate insult is to go into any restaurant and be served a cloudy glass of bitter tea," says Gee. "That's just wrong." To prevent cloudy tea at home, let your tea concentrate cool before adding additional cold water. If you're still ending up with cloudy tea, there's a chance you could have mineral-rich hard water. Serious tea makers might consider investing in a water softener or making their tea with distilled water to avoid the cloudiness.
Once your tea has cooled, refrigerate it in a glass container, preferably with an airtight lid. Plastic can impart a "chew toy" flavor detectable to super tasters ("I can always tell if tea has been kept in plastic," says Gee), and a lid will keep the tea from absorbing other flavors from your fridge. "You don't want your tea to taste like leftover chicken enchiladas," she warns.
Related: Easy ice cream desserts
You can always spot an old-school Southerner in a crowd of iced tea drinkers. says Gee. Just look for slices of lemon, still perched on the glass rim. "A lot of Southerners don't like lemon in their tea because they think it's too acidic and too bitter," explains Gee. Lemon can add a tart zip to iced tea, but you may prefer a mint garnish. Experiment with both and see which finishing touch pleases your taste buds most.
This recipe for sweet tea is sweet but "not so sweet that you think your teeth are gonna fall out," Gee says. To make it unsweetened, simply skip the sugar.
from Sweet on Texas
Makes 2 1/2 quarts
10 cups water
2 family-size or 8 regular black tea bags
3/4 cup sugar
Garnish: Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Boil 3 cups of water, then add the tea bags; continue boiling for 1 minute. Cover and set aside to steep for about 15 minutes.
Remove and discard the tea bags. Add the sugar, stirring to dissolve.
Pour the tea mixture into a 1-gallon container, then add the remaining 7 cups water. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve garnished with a mint leaf. Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
"I love to add flavored syrups to tea," says Gee. For a special touch, these are some of her favorites.
developed exclusively for Yahoo! Shine
Makes about 2 1/2 cups
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
1 1/2 cups sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon fresh lemon, orange or lime juice
Pinch of baking soda (see Note)
In a medium heavy-bottom saucepan, combine raspberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 cup water. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Stir in 1 1/2 cups cold water, desired citrus juice and baking soda. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to lowest setting. Let simmer for 15 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms on top.
Pour syrup through through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter; set aside pan. Use a spoon to crush fruit pieces to further release their juice.
Add strained raspberry mixture and 1 1/2 cups sugar to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar completely dissolves. Bring liquid to a boil and cook for 2 minutes until syrup is slightly thickened. Remove syrup from heat and let completely cool. Pour syrup into an airtight container and refrigerate it for up 2 to 3 weeks.
Note: Just a hint of baking soda will help preserve the fruit's vibrant color.
from Porch Parties
Makes 1 1/2 cups
Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a medium sauce-pan. Heat to a boil while stirring. Reduce the heat and continue to stir until the sugar dissolves. Add 12 to 14 fresh mint sprigs, set aside, and let cool. Pour the syrup through the fine-mesh strainer fitted into a funnel into a clean container and store in the refrigerator indefinitely.
from Porch Parties
Makes about 1 1/4 cups
Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water with 1/4 cup peeled and chopped ginger in a medium saucepan. Heat to a boil while stirring. Reduce the heat and continue to stir until the sugar dissolves. Simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until the syrup has reduced by one-fourth. Remove from the heat and let cool. Pour the syrup through a small fine-mesh strainer fitted into a funnel into a clean container and store in the refrigerator for several months.

The Theatre Museum
The Theatre Museum is situated in the Old Court Theatre. Its collection describes Danish theatre history from the 1700s to the present day.
In 1767 the building next to Christiansborg Palace's riding facilities was arranged as a court theatre, the building that today houses the Theatre Museum.
The museum's collection consists of costumes, scenography, set models, paintings, drawings, and photos illustrate the history of the Danish Theatre from the 18th century to the present time.
The fall of Struensee
17 January 1772 the theatre was also center stage for a dramatic event. It was after a masquerade ball at the court theatre that Queen Caroline Mathilde and her lover Johan Friedrich Struensee were arrested and charged with lèse-majesté.
Struensee was imprisoned in the Citadel and Queen Caroline Mathilde placed under house arrest at Kronborg Castle in Elsinore. A few months later Struensee was executed by beheading, while Caroline Mathilde was banished to Celle in northern Germany.
Today, the Court Theatre is used for concerts, readings, exhibitions and talks. Visitors are admitted to the booths, the stage, and to the old dressing rooms.

Parade of Kimono – University Graduation
In March, the traditional month for all university graduations in Japan, I happened to be in Tokyo's Kudanshita district, just near the Budokan in the Kitamaru Koen. This was the big day for all students at Nihon Daigaku, the biggest university in Tokyo and in Japan with almost 70 000 undergraduate students. The graduation ceremony had ended and hundreds of the most wonderfully dressed young women paraded past me, of course I had to snap a few photos! The traditional graduation dress of women in Japan consist of the kimono over which a hakama is worn, the trouser like skirt also often worn by martial artists. It's a gorgeous combination! To this form of kimono, it is common to wear boots of the 1920′s era rather than the more traditional sandals.

Interesting observation about the boots—had been wondering about that myself. I notice none of the men are wearing kimono. Men should definitely wear them more often.
Disclaimer: I have a kimono which I have worn exactly once ever. Mrs Coal won't let me wear it because it's invariably the wrong season for that particular type, or somesuch. She knows her kimono etiquette, and adheres to it strictly.
Coal – I agree! Most men look awkward in western clothes but perfectly relaxed in Kimono! I'm glad I'm not the fashion dictator of this country (^-^) I know what you mean about the kimono, at least you have the physical build to look decent in one – a twig of a man like me could never pull it off. (^-^;)
so nice! fantastic color! thank you
Thank you for the comment Aria! (^-^)/
Love all the spring colors, and the boots seem like a very practical combination. You know this is one of the first times I've seen women wearing kimono with braided hair.
Thank you Matt! I would imagine the boots being easier to walk around in than the sandals, but having never worn either I don't know for sure. Yes, this kimono style has as a perk much more interesting hair styles, although in the last decades the hairstyles have gone from simple braids as a decoration towards the more full blown coming-of-age-day style of hair styling. (^-^)
this is gorgeous!
Thank you for the kind comment Schronienie! (^-^)/
schronienie means refuge
Is it Polish? I haven't been there for 12 years! (^-^;)
yes, it's Polish. why did you go to Poland?
Tourist! There's soooo many reasons to visit Poland! My best memory was of visiting a Bar mleczny in Warsaw. (^-^)
love the gate perspective, interesting insight into Japan's graduation ceremonies, very, very nicely done.
Thank you Al! (Or is that AI?) Glad you liked it! (^-^)
Wow great set! I love the colors of the kimono, must have been tons of people taking pictures since I see some people actually posing.
Thank you Dina! I think a lot of them are actually taking pictures of each other, I think they were confused as to why a foreigner was there shooting with a professional looking camera… (^-^)
amazing photographs. I wore hakami myself during Aikido, but I didn't know they were also female dress. They look really good combined with the kimono. It's interesting to see the old (kimono, hakami) with the new (Louis Vuitton handbags and mobile phone.)
Thank you! The hakama is only very rarely seen worn by men outside of shrines or the dojo these days. The combination with the posh handbags and smart phones we see quite often though! (^-^)
