SuperSpeed support isn't expected in the core-logic offerings accompanying Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs, which are slated to arrive early next year. USB 3.0 support will instead arrive with Intel chipsets as part of the Chief River platform, expected enter mass production in September 2011 and get a public announcement in January 2012, according to a DigiTimes.
This begs the question: why is Intel not embracing the next version of USB as soon as possible? It's possible that the company is introducing delays on purpose, due to Light Peak. What do you think?

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Light peak is amazing. I completely understand why they wouldn't fully support USB 3
If light peak is it, then am in for it provided they start to roll out HDDs and other devices to using the standard simultaneously.
If light peak is or can be a cash cow for Intel why the hell should they support USB 3.0 and affect their own income?
I don't agree to what they are doing and I am not a fan of their products.
That would make sense financially wouldn't it?
LightPeak of course is pretty awesome and much desired, but USB 3 would be a decent stop-gap until LP comes out...so I think Intel has made a bad decision here.
Plus it may force people who want to upgrade to just wait for LP's release, as opposed to buying USB3 supported products next year (had intel decided to back it).
This is just as bad as Steve Jobs not supporting Flash. Why not give all the options to its customers and let us decide if we want to favor a certain technology or not?
2 steps forward 1 step back
Blame game blame game. Even if apple is correct here they need to stop blaming everyone for every little thing.
Someone needs to get the axe. USB 3 should be supported no ifs ands or buts. Other manufacturers are on board and usb 3 products are rolling out. No excuses, we need the speed, Intel should not be dragging their feet.
Light peak is amazing-ly slow to materialize, where the hell is it? usb3 is here and it works. intel needs to suport usb3 because they have nothing else to market.
I think Intel wants to delay USB3.0 so that when they release Light Peak it will really take off. Maybe I am wrong, but it makes sense, because if it is hard to find a computer to plug your USB3.0 device into, your going to stop using it.
Light Peak might be faster, but as others have said, USB3.0 is here!!! It is ready for use. How much closer to the consumer does it get than that...
Motherboard makers aren't waiting for Intel support. They are including third party USB 3.0 on their motherboards anyway. If Light Peak comes along and catches on, fine, but until then we can use USB 3.0.

Typical new user. Doesn't read the other comments. Intel is doing ANYTHING BUT dragging their feet. Lightpeak could do away with sata, usb ect all together. I guess developing revolutionary tech is dragging their feet.
DigiTimes reports Intel is talking up an upcoming Chief River platform with mobo manufacturers that is supposed to include native support for USB 3. Mass production in late 2011. Could this be Intel bowing to demand, or could LightPeak be more challenging than expected to bring into production?
Intel still needs to support USB 3.0 but lightpeak will change everything if they can get it out soon. USB 3.0 is still needed at this time because alot of people are tired of waiting on usb 2.0 to do its job. This will cause many people to wait for LP to come out and cause less upgrades overall.
Very few full computer manufacturers offer USB 3 support right now anyway, if you want it you have to buy your own card or build your own system. I see a few articles on some laptops have it planned in the future and with the exception of an eeePc I think they aren't cheap.
So while I think Apple should be planning on it being included, I don't think they are too much in the wrong here by taking the stance they are.
I'm really torn, I want to buy a Sandy Bridge CPU next year... but I don't want to leap right before 3.0 sees adoption. Course I said that before Intel delayed 3.0 this year, let's hope they don't do it again.
I really think Light Peak is a much better implementation of peripheral connection technology than USB 3, or any non-optical version of USB could ever be. I'm hoping that the reason Intel is delaying USB 3 support is to push Light Peak. 10 Gbps of long range optical bandwidth, with the option of copper cables to retain the charging and power capabilities of USB is something the computer industry could seriously benefit from.
Light Peak does sound amazing. Waiting for fiber optic motherboards.....
Intel is getting foolish here as they are rolling out usb 2.0 and not 3.0. What difference does it make for them to roll out 3.0? Anyways i am happy with my present P55 boards and i am really not looking for so called Sandy bridge untill it comes with usb 3 controller
My year old X58 platform will last me for quite some time, the Idea of upgrading just to get USB 3 or LP is of no interest to me nor do I own any devices that support either. Gonna pass on Sandy Bridge and probably the next iteration too, there's not much my current rig can't do. For anyone else waiting for either to come out it seems almost pointless, until either has had full market adoption both are pretty useless. When I can have a USB 3 flash key that is actually going to use then bandwidth and have a capacity that makes it worth while then I'll consider the upgrade. Till then eSATA works for me just fine when large data transfer is required.
I purchased a UD3R Gigabyte MB with 2 USB 3.0 slots... its been a year and still hasn't been penetrated with a 3.0 Flashdrive or anything =\.
even if apple was to support USB 3.0 they would put mini USB 3.0 ports in their computers, then they could charge $39.99 for a mini USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 apple certified adapter.
P.S. Unix sucks
Lightpeak is definitely preferable over USB 3, and I can't help but feel that USB 3 is doomed without the support of someone like Intel. I bought a USB 3 mobo several months ago and don't have any devices connected to those ports.
Lol its intels fault? They can develop their own drivers if they buy chips from NEC/Renesas i think they dont need Intel for that in my opinion.

HSDL is out earlier and is 20Gbit/s - close to Light Peak's initial max reported bandwidth. i.e. Light Peak is already obsolete to a product in the market and it isn't even out yet. Intel need to pull their finger out.
Well, I agree with Intel. Why bother with USB 3.0 when they already know about something twice as fast.
The thing is, Apple create the actual MotherBoards for there computers do they not?
Intel supply the chipset.
Surely just installing the USB3 chip on the motherboard and updating OSX to use the chip is the easyest option? lots of motherboard Manufacturers can do it such as Asus and Gigabyte, why can't Apple?
Also to add, if i'm going to spend £1500 on a Laptop i would "Expect" USB3 support!
Would have been cool to see USB3 adopted earlier but LightPeak should make things interesting too!
Granted, LightPeak is a product concept with phenomenal potential. But, that's just what it is right now: potential. When it arrives, it will be like every other new technology that hits the marketplace - it will be expensive, hard to find compatible peripherals, etc. Full scale adoption will take a while, just as USB took a while to be adopted.
So, in the meantime, rather than giving consumers the option of using the readily available (and already widely adopted) USB 3.0 equipment, Intel is basically holding the industry hostage by refusing to support it. It's a classic case of "when I get it, my ball is going to be WAY better than your ball, so until then I'm just not playing!" As far as a marketing strategy for Intel, it's smart, but also very stupid. Smart, because they are trying to stem the tide of USB 3.0 adoption, by making it seem like it's not an "industry-wide" platform (the less people that jump to 3.0, the more they can woo to LightPeak). But it's stupid because consumers WANT the option, and Intel is refusing to provide it. Ticking off your customer base isn't the greatest strategy, usually.
It seems a bit petty and shortsighted to me (and apparently many many others). After all, the chipsets being provided now won't work with LightPeak anyhow, they will require a revision to natively support it. So, rather than make a chipset with SOME high speed provisions now, they are artificially retarding the current offerings, until they make a whole new setup for their LightPeak technology. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised no lawyers have jumped in with screams of anti-competitive practices and thrown yet another lawsuit at Intel (since that seems to be the "in" thing to do these days).
Light Peak is useless atm, PCI Express is to slow for it and USB 3.0 even gets bottlenecked by current PCI Express 2.x, given the fact that USB 3.0 is backwards compitable with USB 1.x and USB 2.0 why do you want Light Peak then?, if you say harddrive, then harddrives cant even hit SATA 1.5Gbps speeds yet, SSDs might but then light peak is bottlenecked by PCI Express :P
USB 3.0 is great atm, Light Peak will be useful in 10 year or something other than that its a waste of time
Honestly now, I don't need USB3 for my keyboard/mouse/Ipod/Portable Hard Drive/GPS/thumb drive(bare used anymore due to dropbox) to run at there max potential. So, i don't need another freaking port i'm not going to use, but pay a premium for when i buy my next motherboard.
well whats Light peak if i may ask?.....i never heard of it, could it be like some other interface like fire wire or usb or what?.......any way although i think is going to be great, i mean just look at how long it takes to get bigger drives on a usb 2.0 pen drive.

That could be another reason not to adopt a "universal USB-3.0 platform" If you wanted to have higher retail prices a for longer period of time. What better way of controling that than owning the replication rights (copyright) eg. the automatic transmission in motor vehicles was always the more expensive or additional cost to the purchase price.
My guess is they (Intel) walk into their local computer store and looking at the "multi-card reader" in the bubble wrap hanging, cheaply off the hook remark where is the "Intel Marketing Share" in that rock-bottom pricing?

There are quite a few hard drive enclosures that support USB 3. I bought one to connect an external back-up. In all honesty, all USB 3 needs is external drive manufacturers to get on board. The prime use for high speed external port is the large scale storage and USB 2 is not cutting the mustard with 2 TB hard drives out in the wild.
It Apple creates it, then it is new, revolutionary and inventive....but if Intel or anyone else invents it (Adobe anyone?) then it isn't "there" yet, or not up to Apple standards, or sub par and the tsk tsk finger pointing begins.
Don't get me wrong. I do love Apple products. But the pompus arrogance of the company is flat out distasteful.
This makes me wonder what exactly is Apple doing with their R&D money! They have the cash to buy their own chip design and make a chipset supporting all the features that the customer is asking for and anything that they want. They are a hardware design business primarily, and software design company as secondary. It wouldn't be the first time that Apple took a leap and stood behind a technology (SCSI, Appletalk, Firewire, Bonjour, etc). For them to sit on a mountain of cash and blame a partner for their shortcomings is just lazy.
Oh yes, it's all intel's fault. Ever heard of an expaintion card... or better yet, your own on board add on. Apple is all about making their own stuff anyway. Is it so hard to add USB 3.0 to your hardware.
I bet apple will sue, hell they sue so many ppl it's like eating a piece of candy to them. if they like proprietary connections they should just make their own apple-to-apple-talk crap. beggars cant be choosers if you got the money and dont wanna wait, DIY
I'm sure lightpeak is neat and all, but if it's not done yet, Intel should put out USB 3.0 and stop making us wait.
What I want to know is why he is blaming Mac's lacking of USB3 on Intel. I know Intel hasn't started supporting it yet, but plenty of Mobo have 3rd party chips installed on them that do. Why can't Apple get one of those 3rd party compaines to make they a batch of chips, and Apple writes the support into Mac OS - hey USB3!!!
Sounds more like Apple is being lazy and pushing the issue off on Intel as a scapegoat.
i think they should wait for lightpeak. i only have one usb 3.0 device and thats my new external. i see many more devices becoming available for light peak if intel supports it.
Also to add, if i'm going to spend £1500 on a Laptop i would "Expect" USB3 support!
There are less than a handful at any price that support USB 3 right now.
i dont even use USB3 because all i do is use a USB mouse/keyboard lol
I think that they're really putting all of their money into light peak at the expense of isolating themselves from the world... Sure light peak is amazing, but will it have arrived in time before everyone starts using usb3 and it becomes the next firewire
Apple blames intel for what ? Apple if is dependent on intel rolling out on USB 3.0 they have some issues.Besides apple's policy has made Mac not polupar they restricted everything & now they are paying & not able to keep up microsoft OS & do not have control on the PC market.Intel has a good reason to delay it why not? Everyone is worried what they can do to increase their profits.
Intel's delays are understandable, they are trying to make fibers an affordable techology available to everyone, something not easy.
The argument over Intel's decision not to build USB3.0 into its Sandy Bridge chipsets is sterile. One can safely assume that motherboards will just ship with 3rd Party USB3.0 Chipsets in the meantime. Npthing to stop Apple doing the same. They just want a free ride rather than having to provide support through their O.S
They are taking a really big risk with Light Peak. We'll see what they do with it. If it's as great as they then it might be worth the wait.
I understand lightpeak but i still think there is a place for usb 3.0 since we all have tons of usb related items intel could have lightpeak and usb 3.0 but like someone else pointed out there is nothing that can do that kind of bandwidth anyway while usb 3.0 would be amazing right now and way faster than what we have.
LightPeek definitely will be awesome. I guess Intel is delaying usb for their own benefit. But i think Intel doesn't need to worry as LightPeek will be bigger than usb 3.0 so they should start pushing usb 3.0.

How Does Your Family Beat the Heat?
July 10, 2011
© Taylor Newman
People keep asking us, "How're y'all liking this heat?" It's part friendly challenge—can the Brooklyn transplants hack the Texas summer?— and part stamp of approval: we, like everyone else around here, are surviving a record-breaking run of 100-plus degree days (which I think makes our little family officially Texan). To tell the truth, though, I didn't really realize, until these questions started, that there was anything unusual going on. I'd heard so much about the heat before getting down here that I just assumed this was what everyone was talking about. Apparently, however, scorchers like these don't usually start their reign until August. We moved right into the thick of it last year, and, after a lifetime of Northeastern winters, thought the infamous August 'weather' was a piece of cake—nothing a little A/C couldn't fix. Now that we're in it again, though, and now that the it's been going strong since June, we— including, most significantly, our very busy toddler—are starting to experience a touch of cabin fever. Yep, cabin fever in July.
Kaspar is about as white as white people come, though he quickly turns red when overheated, so we keep a hat on hand when heading out and try to stay out of direct sunlight lest the little man burn (hasn't happened yet… never will on my watch!). This means that dawn and dusk represent our only real unrestricted outdoor play opportunities at this time of year, and we usually don't have our act together to get out in the morning before it becomes too hot. We work hard to keep things interesting for Kaspar during the day-- I take him to appointments, to the library, and on errands, and we run around the house like wild animals, have playdates and read lots of books. Aaron brings him out to our condo-complex pool every afternoon—it's shaded, and he LOVES it— and we all play outside together after dinner. We've got a good thing going, for sure, but I know cabin fever from a mile away, and I sense that Kaspar's toys (how do we have so many??) and indoor slide-thing are getting to be old news; he's getting antsy with the ratio of indoor to outdoor play.
This afternoon, in a desperate/genius move to keep Kaspar from purchasing (more) foreign apps on my phone—my phone is his new go-to favorite toy-- I filled a plastic food container with water, grabbed a few toys for him to dip in it (or whatever), and moved our little operation to the walkway just outside our front door (also shaded). He did some dipping, then poured the water everywhere and asked repeatedly for more— my activity was a hit! Awesome! Kas is seventeen months old, though, and has an attention span to match—so I need a few more good ideas for our summer survival repertoire. We've got another two months, at least, to go before things cool off enough to even that indoor/outdoor ratio out.
What does your family do to beat the heat? Or, if you're a long-cold-winter pro, how do you keep indoor time fun and exciting (and cabin fever at bay), day in and day out? I'm looking forward to your ideas!
PS. Want a super simple and delicious recipe that'll make you swoon for summer (and its farm-fresh produce) forever? I made this for a little dinner party recently, and it was amazing. Bon appetit!

This side dish of roasted sweet root vegetables is a perfect accompaniment to roasted chicken or pork tenderloin. A side of bitter greens, like mustard greens, offers a nice balance to the sweetness.
This date-worthy recipe proves that healthy budget meals aren't boring! As good as or better than a restaurant entree, it features salmon raised by our farmer partners committed to producing the most environmentally friendly farmed seafood.
Here's a terrific vegetarian main course that stars big, flavorful tomatoes in all their glory. We call for quinoa as a base for the stuffing, but you could substitute with 1 1/2 cups of just about any leftover cooked whole grain.
A classic party dish, this shrimp cocktail gets a verdant revamp with a spicy green onion- and sour cream-based dipping sauce. Make it with low-fat sour cream, if you like.
Cooking dried beans is low maintenance and a great value. Make sure to plan ahead and allow time for soaking the beans. Serve with hot sauce or salsa, if you like.
Spoon this hot chocolate mix into jars to give as gifts, or keep some on hand in your own pantry for chilly afternoons. For a burst of flavor, try steeping a bag of mint or almond tea in the mug along with the hot chocolate.
Delicious served immediately or the following day -- if it lasts that long.
Rich, crispy puff pastry makes an elegant wrapper for cocktail franks, and the easy sauce of cranberry and Dijon mustard is a wonderful seasonal accompaniment.
We're not supposed to have a favorite, but in our series of dairy-free "nice creams," this peach and banana combo, rich with both almond butter and almondmilk, might just be the standout, especially when summer peaches are extra sweet!
These vegan treats are perfect with a light spreading of fruit-sweetened raspberry jam instead of frosting.
Colorful peppers, carrots and green onions add bright flavors to this miso soup. Earthy shiitake mushrooms and fragrant lemongrass provide the background aromas. Serve soup over cooked brown rice, if desired.
The classic blueberry muffin gets an update with spelt flour and a flavor boost from orange juice and zest.
Flax oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lends nuttiness to the creamy dressing in this salad, perfect for summer and fall lunches and
Welcome the heat — zesty heat, that is — with this quick and simple pork dish. The traditional Asian flavors of five-spice powder, mustard, ginger and Hoisin sauce unite to create a pork tenderloin seasoned to perfection.
This savory egg dish easily adapts to other vegetables or cheeses, like blanched broccoli rabe and sharp cheddar, or artichoke hearts with a Parmesan and Fontina combo.
Joe from Louisiana sent us this recipe for a walnut and chickpea dip brightened with fresh herbs and citrus juice. Think hummus, with the richness supplied by walnuts instead of sesame. Spread on crostini, toasted pita or rounds of English cucumber.
Enjoy the vibrant, sweet flavor of this inventive take on the common version of carrot and raisin salad. Almond butter combines with lime juice, tamari and agave nectar to coat the carrots, red bell pepper, cilantro and raisins.
A simple garnish of cherry tomatoes and green onions lets the flavor of antioxidant-rich wild salmon stand on its own. Serve with a green salad.

Laurent Gbagbo is yet another example of an egomaniacal president who stubbornly refuses to relinquish power following an undisputed drubbing at the ballot box. With a string of elections around the bend, the recurring narrative of incumbents holding their nations at ransom following polls bodes poorly for the genesis of democratic practice in Africa. Woe to heads of state who chose to ignore the thundering wave of revolutions tipping autocrats off their mantle in Northern Africa and the Middle East. Their turn may very well be nigh.
So when is the UN going to authorize a no-fly zone for Côte d'Ivoire?
"So when is the UN going to authorize a no-fly zone for Côte d'Ivoire?"
The day after scientists devise a way to power your car with chocolate.
Ahem a no fly zone against what?
It is the responsibility of the Ivory Coast's neighbors to intervene and force Laurent Gbagbo to step down from office. Intervention is necessary to ensure that Alassane Ouatarra is given his position as president without the cost of further civilian deaths. However because of the selfish motives of it's neighbors such as The Gambia and Ghana intervention seems unlikely. The Ghambia's president, Yahya Jammeh should put his alliance with Gbagbo aside for the sake of stability in the region. Ghana on the other hand, should focus on maintaining peace rather the benefits they get from trade. It is difficult to expect Nigeria to intervene at this time given the controversial elections it is facing at home.
It is very important that Gbagbo is soundly defeated and removed from office. Lest the other useless, throwback, tin-pot African dictators think that they can thwart the will of the people. Africa is finally going somewhere positive. We cannot allow this progress to be derailed.
It is a pitiful story that all the countries in Africa or elsewhere acutely lacking the personality like ex-president of South Africa, Nelson Mendala who can become a dictator after his first term but chose to relinquish to his deputy without let and hindrance.
South Africa was very lucky to have him setting the good example but what about others?
Since the newly independent countries mostly cannot run their countries efficiently and clean that costing the socalled civilized world valuable manpower and monies to maintain order, can the socalled civilized world formulated a policy putting the duty on the colonial master to train and be responsible to their well being for at least 10 years before handling over the important portfolios like Finance, Defense, Judiciary and Police when they can be judged matured!?
One question, who to judge them matured???
The UN or any body that can have the necessary power and means to carry out the mission!?
What are the meaning of independence and democracy when one has to face the ordeal of hunger, shivering in the cool, maltreatment and persecution from the peoples like elites and dictators!?
The civilized world or the unfortunate peoples at the cross world?
Or the noble human rights compromised for secular proper food, education, health and housing etc at the cross road?
The ancient Chinese proverb says "Be a dog in peaceful era rather than a human during war torn period!" is an interesting topic to digest!

River Island is one of the only high street retailers which hasn't significantly improved its e-commerce offering over the past couple of years, and still retains an all-Flash website.
I have been wondering for a while when River Island would look to improve the site, and Paul Rouke of PRWD has a few answers after attending a Q&A with CEO Richard Bradbury last night.
The problems with River Island's Flash site were identified when it was first launched in 2006 - this discussion on the Econsultancy forum covers the issue - and it seems to have taken a long time to produce an accessible non-Flash version.
River Island made the mistake of not considering disabled users in the design phase of the website and consequently excludes a significant proportion of the population from its website. It has displayed this apology page for more than a year now, advising disabled users to 'watch this space'.
Despite the accessibility issues, Bradbury says that River Island's e-commerce channel is performing well, though I wonder how much better it could perform?
It isn't just the lack of accessibility, the website could also be more user friendly for all visitors. The navigation could be better, basics like contact details are impossible to find, while River Island has also suffered in terms of SEO by sticking to Flash for so long.
Despite Google's recent moves to start indexing Flash sites, River Island still performs poorly in the organic search rankings, even for precise searches on products I know are on the website.
It has also performed poorly in a recent eDigital Research customer satisfaction survey, with the lowest mark out of 39 top UK e-tailers, and scoring badly for site search and navigation, as well as customer service.
In response to Paul's question about the Flash site, Bradbury did say that the company is 'in the process of moving away from our current flash based retail site', and that relaunch is due later this year.
I think that, however well River Island's e-commerce channel may be performing at the moment, losing the Flash site and moving towards more of a 'best practice driven e-commerce operation' as Paul puts it, could have a huge impact on its success. I'm just surprised that it has taken so long.

Scuba Diving Videos
Versatility is the key to the Zen IQ 950 Zen Air, which can be used as an air/nitrox computer, depth gauge/timer for free diving, or as a watch for daily wear.
A stellar, ultrahigh airflow performer, SCUBAPRO's MK25 smoked the ANSTI breathing machine when it was tested by ScubaLab. In fact, the more we stressed this reg, even down to extreme test depths, the better it performed.
SEA&SEA has released its most sophisticated, technically advanced digital SLR housings to-date with its MDX series. The latest, the MDX-D7000, was purpose-built for the Nikon D7000 and is ergonomically designed for ease of use and total control of the D7000 functions underwater.
If you have a need for specialized mask lenses, IST Proline has multiple options for you. The OL80 dive mask lenses are available in clear, tinted and optical corrections and can be fitted to a number of different mask styles.
True to its name, the Thermocline from Fourth Element provides as much thermal protection as a typical 2.5 mm wetsuit but weights just 2.2 pounds. It can be layered under other wetsuits without the need for extra lead.
When ScubaLab put the Mikron on the ANSTI breathing machine, it pumped out lots of air, even at extreme depths and breathing rates. Built for traveling, the Mikron features a balanced-diaphragm first stage that isn't much bigger than a golf ball, a compact, pneumatically balanced second stage and an ultra-light, ultra-flexible braided hose.
The rugged D10 is a tough, comfortable, warm drysuit packed with features that cold-water divers will love. Kevlar boots, 3-D knee guards and a heavy-duty cordura crotch panel join with Waterproof's exclusive "seat that grips" for a non-slip grip and extra protection.
The Express Adjustable delivers kicking power and comfort for year-round diving in all conditions. Now available in an open-heeled version, the Express Adjustable Fin uses Aqua Lung's patented mid-foot flex joint to take strain off the toes and ankle.
Light & Motion's Sola Dive 1200 is one of the smallest, most powerful dive lights we've ever seen. The light offers a choice of spot or flood beams with three power settings.
IST's ProEar ME-80 is a dual-lens mask with a crystal-clear silicone skirt. But what makes the ProEar ME-80 unique is its pair of ear pods that provide a watertight fit over each ear. The air spaces inside these ear pods are connected to the air space inside the mask via a pair of equalization tubes.

Blendtec Total Blender Comes with both WildSide and FourSide Jars) $30 off at Costco 1/02/13 - 1/27/13 - $369.99 + Free Shipping
Last edited by WeepingAngels; 12-22-2012 at 06:05 PM..
Have one. Great blender, we love it. This is nothing like the great refurb deal I got, but it's still a good deal with the extra jar.
If you're on the fence, go for it. (The crazy SXSW "Tom Dickson Special" deal that might never happen again: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/48317) |
Never made hot soups in my Vitamix but I make smoothies, hummus, and homemade healthy ice cream desserts in it all the time. Never had a blendtec but I can tell you I love my Vitamix. I would never thought I would spend 400 dollars on a blender but if you want quality and use it all the time like I do its a great investment.
My homemade healthy icecream: 1 cup almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 banana, 1-2 cups frozen fruit of your choice. Blend that up, use tamper to jam that thickness into the blades & its instant healthy goodness that fills both the protein and sweet tooth requirements of a meal! |
I do a ton of green smoothies and I run a popular smoothie newsletter - here is my very simple comparison of the two:
-- blendtec: easier to clean, looks more Apple designed, all models fit under counter, a pinch less expensive, has no tamper, has buttons for programs like smoothie or soup, a bit quieter than the vitamix -- vitamix: has a tamper which i find is helpful, jar is harder to clean, not all models fit under counter, has to be manually run for the speeds (some new models have the blendtec buttons) here is what i tell people when they email me - both machines are awesome and you can't go wrong - go to costco and watch them and then decide..i use the blendtec because i wanted easier to clean, better looking, fit under counter. you should also go watch John's videos on youtube (user rawfoods) - he has TONS of videos on both - i think he prefers the vitamix overall |

Are you a "stuff" person?
By that, I don't mean materialistic. I'm referring to the amount of things you own. Do you collect things? Are you a packrat?
I'm pretty minimalist. I've never been in to "things". I'm not the type to buy souvenirs while on vacation, nor am I big into decorative pieces or having tons of furniture. I'm also not the sentimental type. There are very few things I keep as mementos. I'm also not a shopper, and don't own much in the way of clothes or shoes. My one weakness is books. I LOVE books. There are nearly 500 in my home library, and I hope to increase that number to the thousands one day. But in my defense, I am a ridiculously avid reader who reads and re-reads them all. Are you a stuff person? Is there a certain item or items that you have a weakness for?
Not really. I have a big collection of dog collars, but that's about it. I like to have a very minimal amount of stuff. Especially now that I've moved a couple of times. Packing less stuff is a lot more enjoyable, and leads to less things that I might have to part with.

I have a room full of books. I am really really into video games and anime so I've probably got thousands of dollars of random collectable stuff. But I usually keep it in one room and organized and put away. I don't really like the cluttered look a lot of collectors end up with.
Thank you Vivien and Angel Chicken for the siggy! Also I have been frosted!!! And as of 9/13/07 I know the secret handshake! |
I could never give up my phone (because I'm in a long distance relationship), my art supplies, or my dogs. Apart from that, things don't mean a whole lot to me.
The books I read, I tend to collect. Aka, I won't just go to the library and pick up the book I want...I have to buy it, and I have to have the entire series, and they are organized by author and subject matter on my bookshelves. ^^ I also collect little statue figurings of animals, but they all fit on a shelf in my room.
Other than that, I don't really keep a lot of things around. I am bad about not getting rid of things once I have them (for example, the multitude of fish tanks I have), because I needed them once, what's to stop me from needing them again? And then I'm really going to wish I had kept them around, because I'll have to go out and buy a complete new one...that is my line of thought, anyway, and I need to stop it and get rid of the crap that is just sitting around doing nothing.

I tell folks I have the hoarder gene.
I buy stuff when it's a good deal. I huge stuffed Easter bunny for 90% off? Yes please. I can't throw things away. Will I ever need this chewed up shoe? Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for that day! Seriously, it's pretty bad.
Proud owner of Cameron, a Chow Chow mix, and Duncan, a http://www.chazhound.com/forums/t141489/. |
I don't own a lot of anything really. Tyler on the other hand... oh god. He is a packrat. Most of my stuff can be summed up as my basic clothes I wear on a day to day basis, shoes for different weather (one pair of bum boots, one pair of high heels, sneaks and then winter boots), a fancy dress and then the rest of my stuff is Briggs stuff.
I do, however, have a collection of baby carriers. |
I'd say the only "stuff" that I collect is movies and dog collars, LOL, both of which are stored away nicely and not just thrown everywhere or whatever. I am a big movie buff, and love to watch certain movies over and over again, so there are some that I just would rather own... sometimes it seems more worth it to me to buy a movie for $5-$7 on eBay versus paying $2.99 or $3.99 or whatever it is to rent them on iTunes. However, certain movies aren't really "buyable" to me so I have no problem going up to redbox or whatever and renting them for the night, lol.
Dog collars... I don't know what my deal is, I just LOVE him having a bunch of different collars and tags and I definitely feel right at home here on chaz with other collar-a-holics. Other than those two things, no, I don't really collect anything or have a lot of stuff. I don't mind throwing things away.

Chicken and dumplings. I used to have a lot of crap, but my husband had even more crap and it drove me nuts. When I left the marriage -- or rather, it left me -- I cut out a whooooole lotta stuff. Now I'm probably just average. Everything I own would fit into one bedroom (with crowding, admittedly). I would like to have more "stuff" someday, but right now I just don't have anywhere to put it, so I go without. ETA: I give a lot of stuff away as it comes to me and someone else would get more use out of it. I bought myself a pair of footy jams and am getting ready to give it to a coworker since her ass is a little less fluffy and would fit into them better. LOL

I tend to keep stuff that was given to me/has a meaning to me. Like this stuffed cat teddy that belonged to my great grandma and has been one the family since. My great-uncle gave it to me last year, after my grandma died, and even though it caused issues with the family (apparently everybody wanted it), and it sits on my dresser, to be passed down again silly? Maybe, but it has special meaning.
Also a few other things, like other stuffed animal Teddy's that were given to me, the tin that the fudge came in that Jessie brought me back from Scotland, he stuff from our tourist swap, stuff that like

By Kaila from Alberta, canada on 10/30/2012
Comfortable, Cute
Poor Design
Best Uses:
Costume Party
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Shaggy Shelley Adult Women's Costume:
The entire bottom was not what it looked like in the photo, the tutu part was much longer and much more poofy. As well as the bottom orange part was not right like te photo and flared with the tutu, had to alter the entire bottom of this costume.

"This phone is the best T-mobile phone out so far."
on by Abbas_AtherPros Sleek, stylish design
Built with HTC Sense 4.0
Has Android Ice Cream Sandwich
25 GB free storage for one year
Rapid-fire camera shooting
Can take photos while recording videoCons Non-removable battery
No microSD card slotSummary This phone is supposed to be the successor of the HTC Amaze 4G. This phone is super fast thanks to its S4 processor. The almost enclosed casing reminds me of the iPhone with fixed internal storage.
"Best HTC Ever! So fast! And the quality is phenomenal!"
on by chillhappyPros Design:

7.8 mm thin
4.2 OZ light
4 fps with auto-burst

"Great, sleek, fast phone."
on by jelly_donut_92Pros Great Camera, Very speedy S4 processor, lovely screen, beautiful construction.
Cons No major cons, only not a fan of sense UI.
Summary Clearly half the people writing reviews haven't even seen this phone in person. Whining like "oh there isn't anything insanely different" etc. is irrelevant and sounds like the summary of a kindergartener who is simply trying to vote down the score. The simple fact is that this is a beautifully made, very fast, svelte phone with a brilliant camera. Highly recommended. HTC know what they're doing and create unique, high-quality devices in a sea of copycats and plastic phones.
"Sleek, fast and on T-Mobile"
on by d2harrisPros ICS is nice.
Cons Not Google Wallet compatible
Summary I change phones often (I carry a personal and business cell) and like aspects of iOS, Android and WP7. For the last year my phones were iOS and WP7 and my tablet was Honeycomb. I love the form and functionality of this device so much that I am willing to forgo WP7.
"This is a phone that T-Mobile customers will love."
on by camouflagemoneyPros Super fast camera
Display is beautiful
Speed of DeviceCons Freezes too Frequently for Flagship device
This device might just be too thin
Charging Port (why is it not at the bottom) Personal preferenceSummary Good enough device to be a flagship for T-Mobile, but maybe not for Verizon or At&t. The camera has no equal including Apple's iPhone, and is surely this devices main selling point and rightfully so.

Pinterest. Pinterest. Pinterest. Yikes, the noise is deafening. But will the latest social sharing site have legs? In yesterday's fawning review in The New York Times, David Pogue cites Pinterest's claim to be:
"...the fastest Web site in history to break the 10-million-visitors-a-month threshold."Fortune's Dan Primack asks
"How to slow Pinsanity. Nothing gets tech bloggers more hot and bothered than the next new social media thing, and right now that thing is Pinterest."
Dealbook's Evelyn Rusli chimed in with this tweet:
And the Wall Street Journal showered the site with a nice feature that rightly asks where's the money?
"Pinterest's Rite of Web Passage—Huge Traffic, No Revenue."
So how did this new darling of the social set catch fire so fast?
I'll tell you how. The site scours your Facebook friends. It then emails you with the news that one of them is now following you and suggests that you follow them back. (--->)
Here's the rub: your Facebook friend who "started following all your pinboards" is completely oblivious to the fact that he or she has done so.
You heard me. Pinterest has exploded its user base through a fairly deceptive means of email marketing. Brad McCarty observed this nearly a week ago in his Next Web piece titled
"Pinterest is spamming your Facebook friends' email with fake connection requests."
But the Pinterest scheme seems, well, a bit sleazy, if not outright unethical. I mean who ever gave the site permission to exploit one's Facebook friends for its own aggrandizement (and, incidentally, the boffo headlines that resulted)? Is it genius or simply scurrilous?
Didn't we just hear about Path's violation of Apple's TOS by accessing one's address book data? And today, the Wall Street Journal broke the story of how Google insidiously bypassed the iPhone, iPad's and Mac desktop's default settings for Safari that blocked access to one's browsing history?
After seeing Pogue's review, I dropped him a note about Pinterest's Facebook friends scheme. He wrote back saying he hadn't noticed. I then ran into Buzzfeed's Jonah Peretti just before he was to take the stage for his Social Media Week keynote yesterday. We chatted about Ben Smith's success in migrating his tens of thousands of Twitter followers from Politico to Buzzfeed. I then mentioned the remarkable hype around Pinterest and my observations about what's actually feeding that hype.
I attributed it to the questionable email marketing scheme and asked why he thought people weren't more vocal about this nefarious approach. He responded that unlike another startup that pushed the ethical bounds of email marketing -- Plaxo -- people actually like using Pinterest, and because of that, are willing to give it a pass.
OK People. Pin on!
