We saved the best for last. What got us excited back at CES was Thunderbolt's ability to enable external graphics on a device that simply doesn't have the physical dimensions, the thermal headroom, or a big enough power supply to accommodate a modern desktop GPU (or even a mid-range desktop GPU renamed by AMD or Nvidia to sound like a more mighty performer).
This stuff has been done before. We've seen enthusiasts use the ExpressCard standard (plus significant ingenuity) to tack add-on graphics to mobile platforms in the past. Unfortunately, ExpressCard limits you to 250 MB/s (over one PCI Express 1.0 lane). Thunderbolt gives you up to eight times as much throughput, letting more mid-range graphics cards stretch their legs.
A cursory run through 3DMark 11 using the Extreme quality preset demonstrates what we saw from the OpenCL-based benchmarks. Mainly, while there is a performance hit attributable to Thunderbolt's narrower bus, it's most quantifiable using high-end graphics cards. Dipping back to the GeForce GTX 460 reveals very little difference at all.
There's a more pronounced difference at the Performance preset, probably because we're less constrained by the performance of each GPU, meaning more data is moving between the host and not-fully-taxed graphics cards.
Nevertheless, if you're looking at the difference between integrated graphics in an Ultrabook or a slightly-degraded GeForce GTX 460 on the same machine, the minor performance loss is pretty inconsequential.
Firing up real-world gaming tests is even more telling. Intel's HD Graphics 3000 engine is simply incapable of powering through a title like Battlefield 3 at 1920x1080 using Ultra quality presets. Neither AMD's Radeon HD 6970 nor Nvidia's GeForce GTX 460 struggle, though.
You can clearly see that the higher-end AMD card is faster than the GeForce in a native setting. Limiting each card's interface bandwidth puts them on even footing, though. The good news? There's no reason to spend extra money on a more expensive board.
World of Warcraft is much more platform-limited. It's probable that our Core i5-2400 running at its stock frequency is the reason AMD's Radeon HD 6970 and Nvidia's GeForce GTX 460 match each others' performance in our MSI motherboard. Pull both cards out over Thunderbolt, however, and the interface's latencies and limited bandwidth give the 6970 more of an opportunity to excel. Again, though, the more important take-away is that the Echo Express Pro paves the way for great gaming performance, whereas Intel's attempt to deliver capable graphics fall flat.

Well, getting a laptop that supports thunderbolt is already pretty expensive. Then, you have to get one of these which ranges from $400-$800. THEN you have to buy a dedicated card....
It's pretty expensive once you add it all up
2yobobjm , September 17, 2012 5:04 AMI like it, but I see limited use for it, especially for those of us who already have large towers, and don't really want another small tower added on to that. That being said, this would make a pretty awesome home dock for a laptop, and good for those tiny desktops that intel, apple, asrock, zotac and many others make (once all of those get thunderbolt).
6acku , September 17, 2012 5:06 AMPrices will go down. Remember that.
Second, it's about the cost you'd have to pay anyways for a desktop (which you need if you want to game since you can't on a vanilla ultrabook), so its more like an alternative solution for those who want a single system setup.

They don't go down enough...
2mayankleoboy1 , September 17, 2012 5:33 AMany controller + the surrounding ecosystem that is this expensive cant survive much. Not being a hater, but being a realist.
6acku , September 17, 2012 6:23 AMYou don't know that . USB 3.0 was expensive when it first came out. Look at things now. Wow things have changed. Prices are substantially lower now.
6Darkerson , September 17, 2012 6:51 AMPretty interesting, even with the currently high price tag.
-1Vorador2 , September 17, 2012 7:56 AMNeeds to be cheaper. That's my only serious gripe.
And well, for this purpose Thunderbolt still needs to be faster to fully take advantage of the external GPU, best around 16 Gb/s since it's the speed of a 16x PCIE 3.0 slot.
Although you could potentially sidestep this issue if you use two linked thunderbolt interfaces, but then there's the problem of synchronizing data transfers (and finding a laptop with two thunderbolt interfaces...if there's any)
5Menigmand , September 17, 2012 8:04 AMIf they can make this much cheaper, I would be very interested. I prefer to game on a laptop so I can easily stow it away when I have guests over and need the dining table. An extra box would be ok, as long as it doesn't need an external display.
1assasin32 , September 17, 2012 8:18 AMWell this makes things more interesting, when the price goes down and becomes resonable within probably the next few years it may give us the ability to buy laptops and attach some reasonble GPU's to them so we can play games on them a lot better.
If this was around 8 years ago I would have been all over it and had it for my laptop since I used to use that for gaming.
0beavermml , September 17, 2012 9:00 AMthis maybe a stupid problem.. but will there be mouse lag using external dock with xtra latency? i dont know internal stuff much...
0de5_Roy , September 17, 2012 11:16 AMintel core i5 2400 does not have intel hd 3000 igpu. it has intel hd2000 igpu. iirc core i5 2405s has hd3000 igpu.
1abhijitkalyane , September 17, 2012 12:14 PMThink of the possibilities - Sonnet or nVidia or AMD could release Thunderbolt GPUs directly (instead of dock+GPU) - that would be a very viable alternative for Ultrabook gamers.
If such a combination (UB with i7 + Thunderbolt GPU) is available at a reasonable price, a lot of mobile gamers will consider it. I know I would.
-1ojas , September 17, 2012 12:32 PMYeah, but can it play Crysis?
0fbbam , September 17, 2012 1:28 PMAwesome, but still out of reach for most
0toddybody , September 17, 2012 1:34 PMReally cool idea...but the real world application doesnt make much sense for a windows (HW) user. For this much money...you could just build another rig/upgrade desktop internals.
If gaming on OSX is your cup o' tea...then it does have some (albeit expensive) application.
No offense, but hardcore gamer + Apple dont jive. Im at peace with the fact my MBA cant game...its great at what it does. Same goes for my gaming desktop (I dont cry about the lost potential of OSX applications on it).
0gunbust3r , September 17, 2012 1:46 PMWell, now we know why the Lucid Logic demo is only using a Radeon 6700...
0thefizzle656 , September 17, 2012 2:43 PMmenigmandIf they can make this much cheaper, I would be very interested. I prefer to game on a laptop so I can easily stow it away when I have guests over and need the dining table. An extra box would be ok, as long as it doesn't need an external display.
I'm pretty sure that this and all other possible external GPU solutions require an external monitor. The box hooks up the TB port on your computer, and then you have to hook up the actual GPU to a monitor (via HDMI, DVI, etc).
1Anonymous , September 17, 2012 2:56 PMHi there, from reading this review, i noticed that you used it with your macbook pro. Were you able to use the external graphic card with OSX or did you install windows on your mac to use it. Would be really nice to be able to use this in OSX. Also would the Echo express be able to accommodate the GTX 460 or even better hd 7750, or would i need the more expensive echo express pro. Thanks for helping me with these questions. =)
0xenol , September 17, 2012 3:04 PMCall me crazy, but maybe this will simplify the laptop market a little (sort of). At least in the entry level to midrange, the only thing distinguishing laptops is their processor, memory, storage, etc. Then if the user wants to, add in a discrete external card.
Should also save board space since you no longer have to have a dedicated GPU and its RAM and house keeping to put on the board. Which means more room for the battery.

I'm sure like everyone else I was hoping this would be something more legitimate than the VGAs, but apparently not. =[
ep_driver's forum posts
Woah. Mind blown. This might actually be enough for me to throw $60 at them again.
Being an employee of The Hundreds, I always do a double take when I see twists on Giant Bomb's logo because it closely represents one of our brand images, Adam Bomb. The GBeast tee is rad!
This is one of your better articles (to me at least) in a long time. Really great work, Patrick! An awesome read!
Just took the time and watched the run. Gotta say, I don't really see the appeal or achievement of this sort of a speed run. Unless I'm mistaken, is he not just exploiting glitches? So it's not a matter of beating the game quickly, but rather it's about who can exploit the game's glitches the most quickly? This feels empty to me. It's cool that there are people out there who enjoy doing it, but it seems like a complete waste of life and time. Curious to hear the interview to broaden my thoughts if Patrick gets the chance.
Thank you! I'd rather have them take the time to get things right instead of releasing half finished products. I played the Hardline beta and it was abysmal in comparison to BF4, which I acknowledge had/has plenty of its own issues.
I hate everything about the pre-order DLC business model. There is literally zero upside for the consumer.
I rarely, if ever, partake in pre-orders, but I can see the upside for the consumer. If someone is already planning on getting this game, then why not pre-order and get free DLC? I don't see it as a problem as long as the pre-order bonus isn't a game breaker like if you received some gnarly weapon in a multi player game that could unbalance and break the experience for those that didn't pre-order.
I'm a FPS lover, specifically a Battlefield lover for the past few years, but I'm not feelin the beta. I was super excited to play it as I waited for it to download. Then I fired it up, played a few rounds, then shut it off and went to bed. I played a few more matches the next day, but now have zero interest in playing any more of it.
I know it's not a finished product, but with it coming out at retail in 4 months I doubt anything can be done to help the lacking visuals. Admittedly I'm a graphics whore and this game lacks beauty on a next gen console. The menus and UI feel dated, like they're working backwards from Battlefield 4. Maybe that's something that can and will be improved upon by the time of release.
Overall unimpressed with the beta as a game, but hey, at least it has run well during my time with it! That's more than can be said for BF4! Curious to see how the final product turns out...
Thank you both! Greatly appreciate the help. And I'm down to spend upwards of $100 if I can get her something legit. I was looking at Weller stuff based off of some stuff I've read online. If I want her to be able to use interchangable tips, would I have to gun a pen style, or do some soldering guns also allow for different tips to be used? Any idea? Thanks again!
Hey duders. My girlfriend has been wanting a soldering iron for awhile so I'm looking to get her one for Christmas. I watched a pretty good video on YouTube by Radioshack and got some info, but wanted to see what you all might suggest. She'll probably mainly be using it for jewelry at first, but I'm sure she'll move on to larger objects/pieces later on that aren't jewelry.
From what I understand, the workbench variety are cool because you can adjust the temperature, but they lack mobility. She'll just have it at a desk, so that's no concern. That being said, is that the way to go, and if so do they make ones with interchangeable tips that she could use depending on what she's working on? Rumor has it you should get at least a 40W???
So many mysteries! I'm new to this soldering game, so any info helps. Thanks!

These are some FOF Simunition scenarios I have been in. The scenarios are interactive in that there is a role player(s) and you can talk to any of them. There can be from one to four people involved besides yourself. The settings, i.e. buildings, rooms, etc. are set up to support the scenario.
Altogether these are long but Ive arranged them in short episodes so you can read as many as you like.
Scenario 1:
Im in a restaurant and leave the table and go to the restroom. From the restroom I hear yelling, and sneak a peak. Dilemma: a guy with a gun is threatening to kill a cook in the kitchen. The customers are down on their knees with their hands in the air. Im armed, so do I intervene? Weve discussed this before, but I decide to shoot the BG. I happen to be using a Glock which was my choice for the drill. I sight, press and click; the Simuntions round failed. Rack, sight, press, then click again. I look at my instructor, he shrugs, which meant, dont look me, you got your self into this. So I rack, sight, press and click. What am I doing wrong? Rack, sight, press, click. Repeat; finally slide locks back. As I start to throw the now empty gun, the instructor calls time out. We reload and start again. This time I shoot the BG and feel a sting on my wrist and realize Ive been shot but not by the BG. I pivot to my right and see one of the customers with a gun. I did a rapid four shot burst and had four hits in less than a second. The lesson I learned: theres probably a tail gunner, dummy.
Scenario 2:
I drive up to my office building and see a car recklessly parked, that belongs to an employee that was recently fired. Inside I hear yelling and realize this guy has likely killed somebody. I say my solution is call 911. My instructor says fine, but handle the problem. I pie the corner and see the BG has cut a guys throat and is ranting. From my cover position, I used commands to get him to drop the knife and get on his knees with his back to me and his hands in the air. So realizing he is down an unarmed, I move around the corner and half way down the hall. He starts saying its not his fault and gets up. I back up, and command him to get back down. He seems confused, distraught, is jabbering, and pacing in small circles well away from me. I watch him to make sure he doesnt go for the knife he dropped, when he reaches up on a refrigerator and grabs something and wheels around. Its a gun! So we shoot each other! The lesson I learned: you left your cover, dummy.
Scenario 3:
I come home and find the door jimmied. Knowing my wife is inside and may be in imminent danger I call 911 SOP and then go in. So with gun drawn, I pie a corner and sure enough, theres the BG standing at the end of a hallway. Hes alone so I order him to Freeze he says OK, OK dont shoot and then turns to run. You gotta be careful. This may not be the BG. He may have seen a problem and tried to help; theres no way to know. He wasnt armed or threatening. But the thought process was just enough hesitation for him to escape down the hall. I was at an angle to the hall so I couldnt see down it.
So now, I have no choice but to clear my house by myself to protect my wife. Boy, this one is a nightmare of the first degree. It is clearly a no win layout. There are half-height walls, doorways such that it is impossible to clear without turning your back on an uncleared area. I mentioned to my instructor this is impossible. He said, Some situations really suck dont they.
I had cleared all but one big room to my left so I started in there. I hadnt gotten far until the instructor tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to see it wasnt the instructor, it was the BG and instead of shooting me down like I deserved, they had the grace to spare what little self-esteem I had left. I said whered you come from? He said I hid in the abandoned refrigerator you passed twice. The lesson I learned: Dont assume, check everything. Action (him suddenly running) beats reaction.
Scenario 4:
Im in another restaurant when an angry guy comes in with a long stick (clearly a deadly weapon) yelling something about where is she. Hes threatening violence and menacing customers. I tell the guy, that I think who hes looking for just went out back the back door. He says Oh, yeah . and starts out the door after her. I tell the guys in the restaurant to get out and we all take off out the door. And so it ended with me being a hero by distracting the BG, and getting all the customers out without even drawing my gun.
However, heres what I think would have happened if I had engaged the angry man. I would have been forced to shoot him to protect myself and his dearest friend would have shot me while I was shooting the BG. The lesson I learned: sometimes theres a better solution than a gunfight. If theres no other way, you better be prepared to deal with the sleeper.
Scenario 5:
Im in a mountain cabin far off in the woods and from my room I hear an guy doing some noisy things not too far from my room. I get my gun and just peek out the door to see whats going on. I see a guy with a shotgun vandalizing and trying to find things to steal. Unfortunately he sees me. I close the door, which for the sake of the scenario, wont lock, but I take cover behind a inside doorway. The door the BG will come in, is hinged on the side Im on so the door will even work in my favor. After some exchanges about my billfold and the police, etc. he breaks through the door and the gunfight is on.
He only knows where I am, by where my voice was coming from as we talked through the door. Plus, I was concealed behind another door way and when he broke through the door, it would be positioned between him and me. He still managed to locate me and shoot me on the left elbow the only thing that was exposed. When we looked at him, he had three little blue Simunitions marks on his chest and one on his strong hand that would have been in front of his chest because of the way he was holding the shotgun.
My instructors wanted to know why I let him in and didnt shoot through the door. I told them I wanted to be sure of my target. They said You had already seen him, you knew he was armed, you knew he was an imminent armed threat, and he was verbally threatening you. I said, Yeah, but, I had lost visual contact with him and for all I knew he could have had an innocent person in front of him for shield. That pretty much ended the discussion. The lesson I learned: In a gunfight, you could get shot. Some of my fellow students decided to leave their cabin and confront this guy. You could tell which ones did it; they had little blue pellet marks all over them.
Scenario 6:
Im in a van that broke down on the road. A guy pulls up in front of me, gets out of his car and walks back to my van, I stay in my van, Ive learned a little something by now. He begins with, Any thing I can do to help?
I roll the drivers side window down half way to talk to him. I tell him that help is on the way, I notified the police and theyre on the way and so is AAA. He says hes so and so and reaches up to shake hands and I do the dumbest thing. I reach my arm out the window and shake hands with him. He could have torn my arm off but he didnt.
He says, hes a mechanic and hed be glad to take a look if Id pop the hood. Well, what have I got to lose? Ill stay in the van and be ready for anything. Hes pokin around under the hood and then through the opening between the hood and body, I see him place a Glock on the radiator. He says some stuff thats sounds angry and about that time puts a Simunitions pellet on the windshield where it looked like it would be right between my eyes. Well I shoot back but hes already moved and we did some shooting and the drill ended. The lesson I learned: You cant trust strangers. Action beats reaction.
Actually other than the arm out the window, I dont see how I could have played it much differently. I stayed in the van with doors locked and windows up. If hes gonna shoot you, youre probably gonna get shot. But, I also discovered the very vehicle that protects you, inhibits your movements. OTOH, getting out would probably be worse. Several students tried that, one got stabbed before he could do anything.
Scenario 7:
I escaped this one without a shot and saved everyone by the way, but my fellow students decided to stay and fight and came out with literally bloody pellet marks to prove it.
You walk into a quicky stop and realize a guy has a gun and is threatening the clerk. Youre right behind him and he doesnt even know youre there. Customers are standing around in shock. I gather them up and leave. Each of my fellow students, as their time came, decided to engage the threat and when they did the BG and his innocent looking partner shot him. As the instructor described it later in the debriefing, Hed never seen three guys (one GG and two BGS) standing toe to toe and shooting each other to pieces. Lesson learned: intervention is dangerous. If you get in a gunfight, up close, you're likely gonna get shot. The students that fought assumed if they shot the BG once or twice the gunfight would be over. They hadnt counted on a backup or the BG not dying instantly, or that cover, distance, and an advantageous position should be used if they were going to engage.

Special Correspondent
It will affect electricity generation
CUDDALORE: The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) served a strike notice on the Neyveli Lignite Corporation on Thursday stating that if the demands of the contract workers were not conceded immediately they would go on an indefinite strike on or after June 15.
They demand issuance of medical identity cards to all the 13,000-strong contract workers and their dependents to get free treatment in the NLC-run general hospital, induction of 5,000 contract workers on a seniority basis in the Industrial Cooperative Service Society (INDCOSERVE) and the recognition of the contract workers' union.
The workers took out a rally in the Neyveli Township before serving the notice on the management. Those who participated included AITUC State secretaries T.R.S.Mani and R.Mutharasan, vice-president T.Manivasagam and district general secretary M.Sekar.
NLC sources said that if the strike materialised it would affect electricity generation. Ever since December 2008 the NLC was maintaining an average power generation of 2,450 MW as against the full capacity of 2,490 MW.
The sources further said that the management had already set up a separate clinic in which the contract workers and their dependents were treated. It had also issued medical cards to 200 workers.
For catering to such a huge demand the management would have to recruit medical professionals and procure medical equipments on a large scale. Even the government could not immediately cope with such a heavy demand because along with the dependents the new facility ought to cater to the needs of over 60,000 patients (considering the fact that each family might consists of five members), the sources said.
However, the management had initiated the recruitment process for doctors.
Committee formed
As for the absorption of contract workers into the INDCOSERVE the sources said a committee had been formed to determine their seniority. However, the management was committed to fulfill these promises.
As regard to recognition of the trade union the sources said it was for the Labour Department to decide.

Some day it will be, and more.
Right and you said QIHU was a dog and going nowhere along with TSLA and FB. Get lost. Your floppy shoes and Redbulb nose are blocking the view.
WHY NOT $300 $400 Why not. This Market is giving out Gifts
Sheepskin, I think BIDU will in 500 within 2 years. My cost basis is $7 prior to the 10 for one split a few years ago. I don't Trust QIHU. Just my opinion. I think it is a 'shifty' and possibly 'unethhical' company. Their numbers don't add-up. BIDU is best in class technologically, and they have an amazing managment team. So much growth left in Mobile, Video, Cloud and many other parts of the business. I owned TSLA and FB when both were beaten down. Unfortunatly I SOLD WAY too soon! I had TSLA at $32 and FB at $17. The market can make you feel so stupid! :)
Sentiment: Strong Buy

What's amazing about the book is how extensively it covers an unbelievably diverse range of topics (and in a seemingly logical progression at that). I won't list them here, since they're pretty clearly outlined in the table of contents. I was pleasantly surprised that nearly all of the topics were covered well.

American Board of Plastic Surgery–certified Dr. Jeff Healy and his trained staff at Healy Plastic Surgery & Medi Spa buff, massage, and steam away dry skin, blemishes, and signs of aging via myriad beautifying services. The luxury spa facial relieves tired, stressed-out soul sacks with custom frontal ablutions based on individual skincare needs. A trained aesthetician consults with each client before the facial to determine what products and techniques will react best with customer faces or the unknowable visages of snake-haired Gorgon sisters.
In his role as the chief surgeon at Aesthetica Plastic & Laser Surgery Center, Dr. Gregory Caputy draws on knowledge gleaned from his presidency of the Hawaii Aesthetic and Wellness International Institute to strike an ideal balance between artistry and anatomy. Along with his skilled team of aestheticians and medical professionals, Dr. Caputy aims to satisfy beauty desires with cosmetic and surgical treatments for the face, body, and skin—many of which account for the specific needs of island natives and Asians. Among the services offered are Sculptra Aesthetic injections, which helps replace lost collagen and corrects shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds.
The center's aestheticians exemplify the individual care that Dr. Caputy has sworn by since he began his practice, rejuvenating complexions with custom treatments and staying beside their clients for the duration of each visit. If you manage to sneak away from their sight, take a moment to relax on the waiting room's tan leather couches, bathe in the sunlight that spills in from oversize windows, or admire Dr. Caputy's collection of diamond-encrusted stethoscopes.
At Hawaii Plastic Surgery Associates' multiple locations, an affable staff of medical aestheticians, nurse aids, and massage therapists takes cues from board-certified plastic surgeons while administering beauty treatments and sigh-inducing spa services for the body and skin. Drs. Todd Mirzai and Bao Phan cushion surgical procedures with IV-based anesthesia and complimentary house calls at each office's private recovery bungalows. The team also specializes in a variety of noninvasive cosmetic procedures, such as Botox injections, microdermabrasion, oxygen facials, and prop-mustache removal. Staff members go to great lengths to ensure clients' comfort, offering airport pickup and drop-off, grocery-store runs, and medical sitters.
The expert techs at Body By Laser tote a holistic philosophy alongside their space-age weight-loss treatments. In addition to their arsenal of cold lasers, they encourage patients to thoroughly evaluate their nutritional, exercise, and sleepwalking habits. With long-term goals in mind, the well-equipped fat vaporizers can usher clients directly into pair of skinny jeans or a form-fitted cardboard box.
Dr. Gregory Herbich has been helping patients enhance their appearances since the 1980s. In fact, he even helped develop laser skin-resurfacing techniques back in 1982. Today, Dr. Herbich puts his experience and ingenuity to use at Cosmetic & Laser Surgery Center's three locations, correcting disfiguring skin conditions and signs of aging with laser procedures, cosmetic surgery, and injections. He also makes over bodies with breast augmentation, liposuction, neck lifts, and hair transplantations that cover bald spots more convincingly than a glued-on patch of loose cat fur. Regardless of their preferred treatment, clients can take advantage of a complimentary consultation beforehand.
Dr. Anderson D.C. and Dr. Poulain D.C. of family health and wellness practice 'Ohana Chiropractic Center use gentle spinal adjustments and preventative care for patients of all ages, prenatal techniques for expectant mothers, and pediatric chiropractic care. The duo uses the Gonstead and Webster chiropractic techniques, craniosacral therapy, and applied kinesiology to alleviate pain caused by a host of conditions, such as chronic back and neck soreness, stress, headaches, and sports-related injuries. The Center also focuses on helping patients maintain personal health and wellness through the various chiropractic techniques.

Cinnamon and Sugar Pie Crust CookiesWednesday, February 23, 2011
I was looking through my collection of cookie cutters and came across a dog-shaped cutter. If there's one thing you should know about me it's that I'm a huge dog lover. Growing up, my family had a Golden Retriever named Dude. This wasn't just any Golden Retriever, this 110 lb+ golden was my best friend. He was a small, rugrat-sized turned lion-sized dog that never left my side...we were the best of pals. Before Dude, I always knew I loved dogs but once we welcomed him into our family, my love for dogs stuck and grew by the day.
I always told my parents that I wanted six dogs when I was older. I had their breeds all picked out and their names. Trust me, I was deadset on having six dogs...all at once. Ask my parents and I'm sure they could rattle off a few of the breeds and names. I'm sure people thought that I was going to be a future
As soon as we could, my husband and I adopted our first dog together, Caster. A move and and new city later, I had the sudden urge to adopt another dog. My husband refused, unless I could find another dog that looked just like Caster. He should've known better. Present a challenge to me and I become bound and determined to conquer the challenge. A few days later I was searching on PetFinder.com when I came across Caster's twin, Tugboat. I showed my husband and he was completely shocked. Right then and there he knew that Tugboat was going to be ours. I contacted the adoption facility, found out when we could meet Tugboat and a few days later we were driving home with Tugboat in our car. He was all ours.
We still only have two dogs but I keep telling myself that a third one would be a little ridiculous when living in a D.C. rowhouse. Until we move and have more land for the dogs to roam and explore, we'll be happy and content with our two furballs. They bring such love and joy into our lives and I could not be more thankful.
In celebration of my pups, I pulled out the cookie cutter and got to work baking these easy and fun treats that pair perfectly with a nice, big bowl of vanilla ice cream. They are coated in sugar, spice and everything nice...that's what dogs are made of...or something like that.
Cinnamon and Sugar Pie Crust Cookies
- 1 frozen pie crust, thawed
- 2-3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cut shapes into the dough using a cookie cutter, knife or pizza roller.
- Brush butter over the dough. Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Sprinkle mixture over dough.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the dough is lightly browned.
- Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.

I have loved pie crust cookies since I was a little girl and my grandma made them from scraps of dough when she made pies. My girls and enjoyed the same tradition. And I admit...they will still stop by and want some...which is why I keep ready made dough in the freezer. But...I will not let them see this post lest they insist on me dragging out the cookie cutters too. SO cute.ReplyDelete
Love this! How adorable and tasty!!ReplyDelete
Always a treat!ReplyDelete
Aww such a cute tribute to your little furry beebies. Einstein says hi :)ReplyDelete
6 dogs? Wow. Well, if you ever need 2 more, despite the rowhouse, I have 2 to spare! (not really, I think I'd miss them!)ReplyDelete
These cookies look great, love the pics!
What a sweet story about you and your dogs. I can just picture you as a little girl, with Dude following your every step.ReplyDelete
I love the idea of these pie crust cookies. So easy and fun!
These are SO cute! As a brand new puppy owner I can say that these are the cutest cookies ever! :-)ReplyDelete
Darling! Such a fun idea :)ReplyDelete
Great idea and perfect for kids! We're featuring cookies this week at the M&T Spotlight and I would love for you to submit this! http://www.makeandtakes.com/spotlightReplyDelete
What a quick treat idea really. And you could use homemade pie crust or even booboo pie crust, have a lot of that lately, thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness! I can totally relate on the dogs... I actually only want three... I always wanted a lab "trio" - yellow, chocolate, and black. I already have a yellow lab named Yellowdog, and I still want a black lab named Martin and a chocolate lab named Nestle (since we live in Hershey, PA).ReplyDelete
Anyway, These cookies look tasty... My mom used to make cinnamon pinwheels with extra pie dough, so I'm sure they'd remind me of my childhood.
Oh, and I think I have that same cookie cutter. :)
What a great cookie, and so easy! Will definitely have to try these soon with my toddler. I'm glad I found your blog :)ReplyDelete
These are such a cute idea and look SO good! I'm thinking these might be dangerous for me to have around . . . I LOVE things that feature sugar and cinnamon . . .ReplyDelete
Aw - these are so cute! And look super delish too :)ReplyDelete
Jen - I'm a fellow dog (and pie crust cookie) lover! We have two little Border Terriers now. They have completely won over our hearts. I've actually lived your dream. I've actually had 6 (at least that many...and more when they had pups) dogs at one time when I was growing up. We lived on a farm and everyone dropped off their pets when they tired of them. Imagine that? Anyway, we took them all and I'd say we'd had 30 or more dogs over a 15-20 year period. I've got very fond memories of all those sweet dogs.ReplyDelete
I found a post about making cut out cookies from pie dough and I thought my son would love doing it. I had everything ready to go and I tried to find the recipe.... opps, didn't bookmark it. I googled it and found you!!! I had to read the story twice because my cousins dog's name was Dude (also a huge golden)!! I live outside of DC in Northern VA so I think that it is fate that I found your blog :) I am going to quickly bookmark you before I loose it!ReplyDelete

As a performer and recording artist in the late 1950s and...

In the fall of 1966, teacher Eliot Wigginton and his students at the Rabun Gap
– embarked on a mission to interview older community residents and document the skills, traditions, experiences, and history of the Appalachian culture they all shared. All told, this oral history program, set in the southern Appalachian hills of Georgia, would last for decades and produce books, records, videotapes, a museum, a Web site, a Hollywood movie, and an ongoing magazine. The program is still active under the auspices of the Foxfire Fund Inc. Maintaining the program's original purpose, Foxfire has continued to empower students by giving them a sense of pride, ownership, and responsibility in both the products of the program and the continuation of the Appalachian way of life. Nacoochee School
Early History
Foxfire began as an English teacher's effort to get students involved in both their education and their region's history and culture. Eliot Wigginton, a West Virginia native, moved with his father to Athens, Georgia, at a young age. Heattended college at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he received an undergraduate degree and a master's degree in English. He also received a master's degree in English from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1969. Intent on becoming a teacher, he found employment at the Rabun Gap–Nacoochee School, located in Rabun County in the northeast corner of Georgia. Wigginton soon discovered that many of his students were "hostile, bored and rambunctious," in the words of educational historian John Puckett. In an attempt to spark their interest, Wigginton suggested starting a magazine as a school project, and ideas were pitched—including collecting folklore from local residents. The idea for the project came about in part through discussions Wigginton had with guests at the nearby Hambidge Center for Creative Arts and Sciences, also in Rabun County.
The students decided to name their magazine Foxfire after the blue-green glow given off by bioluminescent lichens growing on decaying logs. Foxfire was a learning experience for both Wigginton and his students since no one had any experience in oral history collecting, documentary skills, or magazine production. The first issue was published in March 1967 and became an instant success, due in large part to an interview with the local sheriff, who described a 1936 bank robbery and his capture of the bandits. In 1977 Wigginton moved the Foxfire program to the newly constructed Rabun County High School in Clayton.
By the 1980s Foxfire had become a multimedia enterprise. In 1972 Doubleday began anthologizing the magazine into a series of Foxfire books. Twelve volumes have been published, to which many more special collections have been added, including The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Cookery, A Foxfire Christmas,and The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games. Starting with The North Georgia Mountains in 1977, Foxfire has also issued several recording collections from local musicians. A play entitled Foxfire, based on materials from the Foxfire books and authored by actor Hume Cronyn and playwright Susan Cooper, first appeared on Broadway in 1982. The play was later adapted into a made-for-television movie starring Cronyn and his wife, Jessica Tandy.
While generally successful, Foxfire encountered a dark period during the 1990s. In November 1992, Wigginton pleaded guilty to charges of child molestation and received a sentence of nineteen years' probation and one year in jail. As part of his sentence, Wigginton had to resign from teaching. After being released from prison, Wigginton left Rabun Gap and is no longer associated with Foxfire. The Foxfire project, however, continues; working together as a staff, students specialize in writing and editing, marketing, subscriptions, and senior editor duties. Topics covered in the biannual magazine vary widely and include preserving and cooking food, folklore, recipes, gardening, farming, religion, community life, beekeeping, ghost stories, tall tales, personal histories, hunting and slaughtering, corn shuckings, weaving, washing clothes, granny women (midwives), burial customs, riddles, and music.

I fell in love with this pattern from the first time I saw it. I had forgotten to use this lovely satin which I found in my stash – and it was perfect for this dress! As lining for the top I have used micro satin.
I love the skirt with high front and lover in the back and the cut out makes it a little special – and I'm happy with the outcome :)
The cardigan is from an earlier project; www.burdastyle.com/projects/black-long-cardigan
Satin and micro satin.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I was anyway. But let me back up. See, I got into research because I was fascinated by the wondrous things a human body could do. I began in kinesiology then made my way into neuroscience when I wanted to get to the source of the movements—the brain.
My interest in martial arts is what got me into science. I began studying karate when I was 13 and quickly I got fascinated by what a trained person was capable of doing. Like move so fast with such precision in a seamless combination of gross physical power and fine motor control. My brother was my first teacher and I guess I saw what he was able to do and wanted some too!
But before any of that I really had this idea I wanted to grow up and be a physician. My sister was a nurse and then went to medical school. And being a physician seemed pretty neat. You got to learn some pretty interesting stuff and you got to help people. I really wanted to do something to help people.

Moving here from TTAMC Board

I'm new here....FINALLY. I m/c in Sept. 2003 and have been TTC ever since. Finally last month I decided to quit temping, cm checking, counting days and Clomid, then BINGO....BFP!! I am excited yet scared as everyone on this board seems to be. For the last 7 months, I have prayed to God to please not let me get pregnant unless everything was going to be alright this time, so I have to have faith in Him that this is His sign to me that he has answered my prayers. I am taking one day at a time and hope that they will bring me the bundle of joy I have wanted and have waited so patiently for.
Best wishes to everyone here for a happy and healthy 9 months!
