Great reviews. Can't wait for more. I know how you feel about the celery and carrots. That is how I feel about the grapes in the plastic bowls. I just love them. They are always so refreshing.

Nice reviews so far...especially love the cost/benefit analysis. We're doing Deluxe in February and I can't imagine it not being worth it.
I remember going to CRT back when I was a little girl and it was magical. We've passed for this trip becase the menus doesn't really appeal, but if I had a daughter, it would be a magical place to take her to...

First Full Day - Snack and Dinner
** Somewhere during the day we each used a snack credit for a bottle of water for Candi and a bottle of Sprite for me. Each of these were one snack credit and would have been $2.50 each without the dining plan.
Tonight was a dinner I had been waiting for since we started planning this trip; we were going to be eating at Narcoossees and I was pumped!! Nevermind the fact that I couldn't even pronounce the name of the restaurant all I cared about was that we got a reservation during the fireworks!!
We got there extremely early – this would be an ongoing habit for the first half of the trip – and decided to walk around and check things out.
I absolutely adore how the restaurant is its very own private building!!
We went down to the dock and checked out the Magic Kingdom from afar – I couldn't wait to see the fireworks from here!
While we were sitting around a very nice gentleman offered to take our picture
It's one of my favorites of the whole trip.
But, you aren't reading this to see pictures of us …. on to the food
On our way to check-in Candi stopped to check out the menu … umm yeah babe – this is what I was asking you to do when we planned this trip – it's too late to throw in your opinion now kidding … sorta
We checked in with the hostess and were told it would be a few minutes so we went outside to catch part of the Electrical Parade while we waited. Soon enough our buzzer went off and we headed to our table.
Once again I was secretly hoping for a window seat … and we got it! I would soon realize that this would not do me any good for the fireworks
Our waitress came by after a few minutes and seemed very rushed and not all that interested in being a waitress … uh-oh, please don't let this be sign of things to come She took our drink order and rushed off before we had a chance to tell her that we were ready to order appetizers, oh well, no real biggy. It seemed to be about 5-10 minutes before she arrived with our drinks and then try to take off again without asking if we were ready to order. Candi quickly caught her and told her we were ready and she sighed rather loudly before asking what we wanted.
Candi started with the crab cakes - $13.00
He had never had crab cakes before so he has nothing to compare them to but he absolutely loved them! As promised I tried a bite and I must admit that I thought they were rather tasty as well. I'm starting to think I like crab just not crab legs?!? I didn't particularly care for the cole slaw type stuff on the bottom but loved the sauce on the top. Candi on the other hand thought it tasted fabulous all together. They appear somewhat small but he thought they were quite filling as far as appetizers go. You know, not too full for dinner but not so small you feel it wasn't enough?
As my starter I had the green goddess salad - $11.00
I was a little worried as many of the items in the salad were slightly outside my comfort zone. My overall thoughts – loved the avocado dressing and the cucumbers were crisp and delicious. As for the rest of the salad – eeehhh – didn't love it, didn't hate it. I can tell you after eating this salad that I do not like hearts of palm – but I give myself credit for trying it! Candi tried the salad as well and gave it two big thumbs down. Now, keep in mind that he is not a salad man anyway, but he said the dressing was "funky" and the rest was just "bland."
Now, I hate to be a complainer but I have to tell you I was starting to get quite irked at our waitress – I am not going to give her name because she may have just been having an off night. But, this was a bad night that slowly got worse. The entire time we were eating our appetizers we never saw her, not even when our glasses were empty – not even when our appetizers were finished. Finally, Candi saw her at another table and politely waved her over. She just sort of came over and was like "yeah" to which we said we would like some refills and to check on our entrée order. Without a word she took our glasses and left. This time she was back within a minute with our refills and our entrees.
As his main course, Candi had the surf and turf – a complete no brainer choice for him - $58.00
Oh my goodness, it looked and smelled delicious! His first comment was about how glad he was that we weren't worrying about prices because otherwise he wouldn't have ordered it. He said his filet mignon was fabulous – thought not quite as good as the one I had at Fultons. He said it wasn't "melt in our mouth delicious" but it was still a two thumbs up steak. Now, he has had lobster tail on previous occasions but he thought this one was way better than any he had had before. I know many people say it is just the frozen kind, but he enjoyed it all the same. And considering au gratin potatoes are his favorite side dish ever – he was in complete heaven! I didn't try his steak because that's what I ordered as my main, but I did try the lobster and I nearly stole it from him. Who would have thought a seafood hater would start to become a lover on this trip. Lobster is now in my top favorite foods list!!
For my main course I had the filet mignon - $41.00
My overall thoughts – loved the beans, they are my absolute favorites! The steak was very good, but the choron sauce became too much after a while. It wasn't that it tasted bad, it's just that it became overbearing about halfway through the meal. I loved the au gratin potatoes – they tasted different than the ones Candi had on his plate – better actually!
Towards the end of our main courses the fireworks show began. In all honesty it is one of the main reasons I booked a reservation here – to see Wishes from a different angle. We realized that everyone goes onto the balcony area to watch the show so it didn't really matter that we had a window seat. No big deal, we just got up and went outside to join them.
This is my favorite fireworks show EVER – I love the Wishes song and I cannot lie – I started to cry a little.
Now back to the food –
When we came back in we saw our waitress at another table smiling and laughing and thought maybe she was in a better mood – WRONG!
It took her 20 minutes before she came around to our table to get our dessert order. In that time we saw her go to 4 or 5 other tables offering to take pictures for them and even offered a couple there for their anniversary some free champagne. Now, I don't EXPECT a waitress to do any of those things but I DO expect to be treated the same as any other paying guest. By this point I was so irritated I started to cry out of frustration . She had basically ignored us all night, had an attitude every time we made a request and then I watch her treat every other table like actual guests.
Finally, she came to our table to get our dessert order.
Candi ordered the key lime crème brulee - $7.00
He ate a few bites and declared it too "limey." I on the other hand thought it was spectacular, in my opinion nothing could every be too "limey" or too "lemony" for that matter In the end we traded desserts.
For my dessert I order the almond-crusted cheesecake. I was so super excited about this and then our waitress came back to the table and literally threw the dessert menu in front of me and said " you have to choose something else, we're out of cheesecake." So I ordered the strawberry shortcake - $7.00
My initial reaction – "it's so pretty." Geez, I can be such a girl sometimes . After taking the first bite I almost forgot it wasn't what I had wanted – yes, it was THAT good. The strawberries were perfectly ripe and sweet and the whipped part was perfect. However, Candi clearly wasn't enjoying his crème brulee so I offered a trade. This was definitely his type of dessert and he all but licked his plate clean . Nope, I didn't even get another single bite – well, he did give me the chocolate pieces, but he hates chocolate so it doesn't count Needless to say, he LOVED the strawberry shortcake.
For the first time all night our waitress came by before we had finished eating and left the bill. When she returned with our ticket to sign she made sure to point out the different options for leaving a tip and then disappeared for the rest of the night.
Our overall thoughts on Narcoossees:
Obviously we were very irritated with the service we received and this caused quite a downer on the night. I realize that we could have asked for a Manager and said something about it, but I didn't want my attitude to come out on the wrong person and, at the time, felt it would just put me in a worse mood. Looking back I do wish we would have said something, only because I hate the thought of knowing she could have ruined someone else's night as well. Anwhooooo….. Candi enjoyed every part of his meal – except his crème brulee which was easily fixed by trading. I didn't love my salad and the main course became too much with the sauce after a while, but both desserts were delicious. Watching the fireworks from here was truly magical and almost made up for the lack of service – at any rate it kept us in better moods. Will we be back? Yes, I always believe in second chances and am sure we would have better service next time. However, I'm not sure we will put it on our must do list for our very next trip. I believe in forgive and forget – I just don't know that I can forget that quickly

Wow, while your meal sounds heavenly your service that you received just ruined it....I would have been miserable too!
Now you can get bad servers all over the place, not just at WDW, but when you are paying top dollar for food at a resort destination you would think they would kiss your butt and treat you like gold!

First Full Day - Lunch
Oh my goodness, I am such a goofball - I completely forgot to post about our lunch on our first day
Now, after pulling up the receipt and sitting down to write about it, I can see why - I am a bad, bad Diser and do not have any pictures of this lunch.
It was a simple one, so I'll keep it short and to the point.
We originally had a reservation for 2:00 at the Plaza Restaurant. We had eaten here on our honeymoon and loved it. It's that type of simple yet delicious food that I think everyone craves every once in a while. Anyway, at about 12:45 we were both getting tired and hungry so we decided to see if we could check-in early. I went up to the hostess stand and explained that we had a 2:00 reservation but would like to see if there was any way to be seated earlier. She stated that we could get a buzzer and wait, but that more than likely it wouldn't be a possibility. As I turned to ask Candi what he would like to do another gentleman turned in his buzzer stating that they would just go somewhere else. A different hostess took the buzzer and was trying to turn it off when our hostess turned and told her "don't worry I never turned it on because he tried to check-in early"
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that we decided not to stay. Again, I don't expect to be seated early and possibly would have waited but that was just annoying to me, so we left.
I still just wanted some simple food so we decided to just head back over to the hotel and grab some food at Roaring Forks.
I had the chicken nuggets and fries, a bottle of lipton lemon iced tea and a Mickey rice krispy treat (the one with the ears dipped in chocolate).
Mmmmm, Mmmmm good. That's all I have to say - it was exactly what I had been craving and it didn't disappoint. There were 8 chicken nuggets and they were fresh and crispy and once I added Ken's honey mustard they just couldn't be beat. The french fries were nice and crispy too and didn't even need ketchup I saved the rice krispy treat for later and Lipton lemon iced tea is my favorite no matter where I'm at. Perfect simple lunch!
Candi had a double cheeseburger with fries, a bottle of water and a magic cookie bar.
His comment was that he was surprised the cheeseburger was as good as it was and like always he drowned his fries in ketchup. He also saved his cookie bar for later but they are his favorite so he was thrilled they were a dessert option there. The water was Dasani which is his favorite choice of bottled water so all in all we were both happy 'lil campers
I don't have the individual breakdown on the cost of each item - sorry. I tried using the prices from allears.net but it came out to be a few dollars too little.
This counts as a quick service meal so anybody not on deluxe can use it as their quick service credit if you so desire. I would recommend it, especially if you are staying at the Wilderness Lodge and need a quick break from the parks.
Starting Credits:
Snack: 28 total (14 each)
Meal: 44 total (22 each)
Credits Used vs Cost:
8 piece chicken nugget meal with fries, bottle of Lipton iced tea, Mickey rice krispy treat, double cheeseburger meal with fries, bottle of water and magic cookie bar: 2 (quick service) credits used - $29.12
* While writing this I also realized that I was putting in the wrong amount of credits - I was only listing the amount of credits left for one person but listing how many credits were used for two people. Oops, I have gone back and made those adjustments to the proper posts I also adjusted the starting credits for our dinner that was posted out of order to reflect how many were remaining after this lunch - sorry for all the mistakes

I'm enjoying your reviews and all the pictures! Thanks!
Did you ever figure out the Goofy's Candy Co. snack credit thing? I believe they recently (obviously before you went) took the make-your-own treats off the snack options. Previously three pretzels would have qualified.

I am really sorry that you had such a terrible waitress. She was cheeky to point out the tip part as well. I do not think I will be able to contain my mouth, if I get someone who gives me bad service and then points out the tip box. I hope if you give Narcoosse another try it works out better for you.

I would have been totally frustrated with that waitress as well. But like you I don't know if I would have had the gumption to say something at the time! I always think of better things to say after the moment has passed lol! The food looked delicious but I think I would have been a little broken hearted at the lack of the almond crusted cheesecake. Thanks for keeping us up to date! I just love living vicariously through other disers! I can't wait till next year and our next trip!

Wow I can't believe you had such bad service. I probably wouldn't have said anything either, however I am sure DF would have, or I would have been begging him not to make a big fuss about it. The food looks really yummy though.

I'm in =] I love your reviews, they are very informative! I have been debating on wether or not to do the Deluxe Dining Plan for our trip next November, but after reading this I have decided to go ahead and book it.
Also your snacks from Goofy's Candy Company made my mouth water! They looked delicious!
Can't wait to read more!

With the Goffy's Candy thing I'm guessing we were just there after they made the change. Sad but still worth it

According to a Dec. 16 report from MixedMartialArts.com, War Machine and Christy Mack have taken to Twitter to announce their breakup.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn," War Machine tweeted to his legion of Twitter followers.
Machine's tweet was apparently a response to Mack's posts from earlier in the day, where she hinted that the couple had broken up for good.
"@Sophiie1210 I'm fine! It was more me ending it and him saying 'Idk what I want, but I love you"'and me saying 'bye'," Mack tweeted.
A tweet that she posted later in the day regarding their relationship was a bit more disturbing.
"@08KRmachine I didn't let him. But I did stay after several slapping, choking unconscious, smothering, kicking, and throwings," Mack tweeted.
Mack and War Machine engaged in public Twitter battles in the past, but perhaps this one is their most controversial.
Time will tell how the situation plays out, so no one can really say for sure how the story will end.
Hopefully Mack and War Machine will go on to lead productive lives and move on from the situation in as professional a manner as possible, but fight fans won't know the outcome for at least a few more weeks.
"@Ms_DianaNicole I loved him. I'd probably make the same mistake again. Haha," Mack tweeted.
War Machine, a standout welterweight contender, has his life back on track now that he's busy with high-level mixed martial arts fighting in the Bellator MMA ranks.
As for Mack, she's a critically-acclaimed adult actress and model.
Both are successful in their respective fields, so there's no reason why they should have any issue moving forward with their lives in a positive manner.
War Machine has "MACK" tattooed across his neck, while Mack has "Property of War Machine" inked in red across her right shoulder.
No word yet on their plans for tattoo removal.

We are looking at Virtualisation over the next couple of years and so far the options for hardware and software open to us are huge.
Does anyone have, or a link to, a check list of the process of going from a normal vanilla setup to a virtual setup?
I'm looking into hardware requirements so a checklist of kit I should have\look at
A checklist of software requirements and possible licences. We intend to stay a MS site (For now anyway :) )
A checklist to go through when transfering from the real world to the virtual one.
A general laymans guide would be useful, something I can use to explain to SMT etc.
I know I'm being vague on detail, but vague is as far as we have got :D I am speaking to some suppliers before the xmas break but a heads up on the process would be helpful.
Any help\pointers would be appreciated.

Castlight is Just the Beginning for These 2 Health Care Stocks
TheStreet) -- We need only look to the IPO of
Castlight Health
(CSLT) on Friday to appreciate Wall Street's tremendous interest in stocks that help with health insurance. Castlight helps employers control heath care costs by providing complex data on from various internal an external sources.
Castlight surged 149% on March 14 despite revenue of less than $13 million in 2013. Shares were slipping 5.2% in mid-day trading on Monday brining the San Francisco-based company's market capitalization down to a slightly less eye-popping $3.3 billion.
The lofty valuation assigned to Castlight clearly indicates intense interest in the sector. With this in mind, we're looking at other health care stocks that could see nice upward action in the coming week.
Benefitfocus Inc (BNFT) offers solutions that enable employers and insurance carriers to shop, enroll, manage, and exchange benefits information. It offers various products for insurance carriers, including eEnrollment. Shares have been under pressure over the last week into the Castlight IPO, due mostly to the end of its own IPO lockup period.
This unlock of shares has attracted short sellers, but because of the huge success of the Castlight IPO, Benefitfocus appears poised for a rebound. As you can see from the chart below, Benefitfocus likes to trade very close to its 20-day moving average, currently sitting 10% higher at $63.13.
Benefitfocus always moves back to this moving average if it strays above or below it. The 50 day moving average at $65 would be second target for traders initiating a long position in the stock. Traders initiating a trade at Friday's close could use the recent low of $56.15 as stops for a downside risk of 82c. With $63.13 and $65 as targets on the trade this offers a very attractive risk/reward ratio of 7.5-10.
Veeva Systems Inc (VEEV) helps life sciences companies in creating and maintaining a record of the healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations with which they interact. Veeva has also been under some downward pressure in recent days but again, given the huge market interest in the Castlight IPO, Veeva could see a nice bounce. With a forward PE of 98 the stock is not cheap but on its $210 million in annual revenues, when compared to the valuation Castlight is being afforded, shares could see buying pressure this week. More than half of Veeva's float is currently short, a potential powder-keg for a large short squeeze.
Traders looking for a trade in Veeva could consider a long entry on a break of the 20-day moving average at $33.73 with a $36 target followed by $38. Stops at the 50 day moving average at $33.03 gives a downside risk of 70c on the trade with a potential gain of $2.27 and $4.27.

I probably said this. Internally it's like Jack in most of the
important places, i.e. the actual type of the event payload is pretty
much irrelevant. The biggest problem to solve is the on-disk format.
Control data (i.e. "automation") in Ardour is its own thing, not even
really MIDI related. I co-opted the existing automation system as much
as possible deliberately for this reason. It could be made to *send*
OSC messages for curves pretty easily.
It would be nice if this integrated with stuff in the plugin sphere, but
I've come to the conclusion that, unfortunately, OSC is more trouble
than it's worth there (though nothing is stopping anyone from using it).
After countless attempts at achieving a decent more-powerful-than-MIDI
mechanism, I've come to this opinion:
Give me a simple data model based on primitives, lists, and dictionaries
any day over some clunky command-like message format.
To me, the easy integration that gives you (with e.g. the dictionary
built in to pretty much every programming language ever, Turtle, JSON
(and thus webby everything), key:value stores), the 'meaningfulness', a
standard string serialisation, and an easy ability to describe
arbitrarily complex things via nesting, is of infinitely more value than
integrating with the tiny nichey collection of things that support OSC.
Maybe it's just that I've tried to do some pretty advanced things on top
of OSC (like 100% of GUI<=>engine control), but it's just a little too
half-assed for my tastes these days.
That said, I'm fully behind anything that would provide the individual
note control and high controller precision that MIDI can't.

The Bygones is a novel that exists only partially in actual, written form - the rest of it is inside the head of Shadow Warden. As per his usual themes, it concerns fantasy with a distinct element of realism, and asks (or at least, attempts to) what would happen if typical Dungeons and Dragons adventurers had to fit into a world much like our own - except with magic filling in the technological blanks. The world is no longer isolated and remote, the orcs and dragons are dead, and life is actually pretty peaceful and mundane except for three facts: The adventurers are having trouble adapting to a benevolent monarchy, the fair folk are getting irritated with the ceaseless deforesting of the continent, and someone has it out for the adventurers.Enter a nameless detective, who's been drawn into this royal mess by way of investigating the murder of a prominent adventurer.Our Loads and Loads of Characters include, but are not necessarily limited to:

Tencent invests in Didi Taxi appComment on this story
Tencent Holdings, Asia's largest internet company, has invested in Chinese cab reservation app Didi Taxi as part of plans to promote its payment service to users accessing the web through mobile devices.
Tencent was one of the investors for Didi Taxi's $100 million (R1.1 billion) fund-raising effort, Jerry Huang, a director of investor relations at Tencent in Shenzhen, said yesterday.
Didi Taxi, created by Beijing Xiaoju Keji Didi Dache, works with more than 300 000 taxis and operates in 30 cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, according to its app description.
Users of Tencent's instant-messaging app Wechat in mainland China could pay for Didi Taxi bookings using its Weixin Payment service, Huang said.
"Tencent's payment service could become the main tool for taxi payments in the future," Yang Yang, an analyst at internet consultancy IResearch, said. – Bloomberg

Bee finalist
For Bedford girl, exploring the world in geography bee a 'great thing to do'
Neelam Sandhu is all smiles as she stand by the National Geographic Bee sign for her preliminary round room Monday at tne Washington Plaza Hotel in Washington, D.C. (COURTESY)
Her knowledge will be on display today as she participates in the final round of the National Geographic Bee in Washington, D.C., where she's one of 10 finalists out of a field of 54 competitors who came from every U.S. state and several U.S. territories.
This trip to the National Geographic Bee finals is not the first for Sandhu. She was a top 10 finalist last year. "I'm not really expecting anything this time," she said. "Whatever happens, happens. I'm just really glad to be here."
Some day, she thinks she may become an author — or an explorer. "Learning more about the world and exploring seems like a really great thing to do," she said.

Q: What's The Worst Job You've Ever Had?
A: There was an academic snafu in my junior or senior year of college that kept me out of class for a semester, so I took a job in a call center. It was customer service for a cable company, troubleshooting and helping people with billing issues. Pure misery always just sorta hangs over places like that. This was no different. Management treated everyone like they were serving detention. The break room was the size of a broom closet. The computer system we were working with had been constructed some time during Jimmy Carter's presidency.
And, of course, every other call that came in was some idiot who hadn't paid his/her cable bill in fifteen months but was still apoplectic that their service was being (or had been) disconnected. Once I had to mediate a physical altercation between a customer and a field technician who was attempting to shut off her cable. Obscenities, punches, and handheld items were being thrown. Meanwhile, my "team lead" was more concerned with my tone or how long I was taking to resolve the issue.
The whole endeavor was just a smoldering wasteland of negative energy. The paychecks barely qualified as justification. On the other hand, when I was a bus boy at Perkins they made me dig unused jelly packets out of the trash, rinse off the gunk, and put them back on the tables, and I suppose that's a more finite version of complete fucking hell. I got free soda at Perkins, though. Nothing was free at the call center except pain.
Unsolicited Southern Fried Notes & Musings On Athens
- this past weekend marked my first excursion to Athens, Georgia, home of R.E.M. and the B-52s and Jeff Daniels for the first six weeks of his life; it's not the type of town I expected to have multiple Zaxby's, but in fact they do (Zaxby's was actually founded in nearby Statesboro, which helps to explain the proliferation)
- Athens is also not the type of town I expected to lack gazebos, and as you can see from the photo above at least one was very easy to find in the four-to-six block radius I traversed
- I visited the homeland of Stipe for a wedding; 'twas a lovely affair on all counts (yes, they played some R.E.M. during the reception per some local statute I'm sure)
- the day after the wedding a couple friends and I attempted to visit the grave of B-52s guitarist Ricky Wilson, but the Oconee Hill Cemetery office was closed and there were no maps tucked away by the door so we didn't find jack; this is just further evidence all graveyards should be alphabetized or arranged by birth/death year
- the Last Resort serves up a pretty good cup of joe, and I hear the black bean soup is awesome
- in general Athens offers pretty hilly terrain, so keep that in mind when you look at a map and decide, "Oh, the Dunkin' Donuts isn't too far away from this hotel, I'll just walk there for a treat in long pants and what feels like a thin sweatshirt in this eighty degree weather"
- the guy at Weaver D's really does say "automatic!" all the time
A Messed Up Guacamole Story
I have a friend who hates guacamole. I asked him why and he tells me: one summer when he was a child growing up in Pennsylvania he begged his mom to take him to Florida for vacation. The mom said they couldn't afford it or didn't have the time or whatever, but my friend just kept on bugging her. Eventually the mom says, "If you can find a way to get to Florida this summer, you can go." This was meant as a bluff, but my friend took it at face value. He asked every teacher he knew at school if they were planning a trip to Florida for that summer. When he finally found one who was, a twenty-something female driving down for a college reunion, he asked for a ride.
Amazingly, she said yes.
So they go in this station wagon, and along the way the woman picks up a friend. They drop off my buddy with his family for a week or two and then they reconvene to head back to Pennsylvania. Well, at some point teacher and her friend had gone avocado picking (I know, right? Who does that?) and they had filled the entire car with avocados. I mean that in the literal sense—these avocados weren't in boxes, they were just piled into the car like munitions. There was no room for my friend to sit, so they carved out a body-sized space in the rear bed of the wagon amongst the largest amount of loose avocados and he had to just lay there like this was a completely normal occurrence.
A side trip to Chattanooga (again, what?) provided enough time for all the avocados to go bad. At some point during the return to Pennsylvania, the teacher driving took a really hard turn, and my friend who was lying next to all these rotten avocados was thrown into them face-first. In the blink of an eye he found himself covered in rotten avocado junk. What's even more messed up is the two so-called adults in charge did not take him to a hotel or a YMCA to shower off. He had to wipe himself down with a towel.
I know this sounds like the subplot from an episode of "Leave It To Beaver" but my friend swears it to be true, an honest tale of horror from our modern era. I guess I'd be scarred too.
Somehow no lawsuits were filed in the wake of this incident.
An Annotated History Of Never Realized Book Projects (2002-10)
This Music Leaves Stains is the first book I've had published but it is far from the first book I've tried to get published, or thought about trying to get published. Here now, an annotated history of never realized JG2 works.
Untitled Dead Kennedys Biography (2002) – Stalled during the research period thanks to several factors (college course load, punk rock politics, my debilitating lack of experience). I covered the nuts and bolts of this failure for Crawdaddy! in a feature called "Give Me Convenience, Give Me Death, Just Tell Me Your Real Damn Name." The most interesting aspect may be that I put a letter in the mail addressed "East Bay Ray, San Francisco" and it actually reached the correct guy. Your tax dollars at work.
Star Wars Ruined My Life (2005) – Ten chapter essay collection covering the weirder aspects of Star Wars fandom, including my own struggles with George Lucas's intergalactic money printing machine (#firstworldproblems). Hired a literary agent but no publisher on Earth was interested. I didn't have a "built-in audience," which meant my blog statistics were not impressive enough to warrant anything. This era was the beginning of "co-opt every popular thing from the Internet to stave print's death!" I'm sure my medium talent was also an issue (I know the manuscript lacked punch/direction). I absolutely cannot remember why but for some reason I e-mailed Jay Mohr about this book; he sent a very encouraging reply peppered with some of his theories on Boba Fett, which justified my struggle.
Untitled Oral History Of My Middle School Experience (2005) – An interesting twist on the adolescent memoir (I think): interview a bunch of people I grew up with to see how their worldview around that time differed from mine, turning the whole thing into an oral history with several narrative tracks. My lit agent loved this idea and really ramped me up about it, but then Star Wars Ruined My Life didn't go anywhere. Representation cut me loose and without a cheerleader I cooled on the concept. Compiled about a chapter and a half, though, and several people I hadn't spoken to since 1994 taught me a lot about where we grew up and life in general.
Untitled Field Guide To Discontinued Soft Drinks (2007-08) – New Coke, Pepsi AM, OK, DnL…I thought the world needed a comprehensive encyclopedia of every soda that's ever fallen off the figurative/literal map. Unfortunately, the stories behind these drinks are all more or less the same (they failed because they were bad and nobody bought them), and when it came down to pitching this book few people understood what exactly what I was talking about. "Oh, like a coffee table book with pictures of the sodas?" No, a field guide. Like for birds. Maybe this idea is terminally flawed.
Untitled "Gong Show" Episode Guide (2006) – An excuse to track down average weirdos and hear about their experiences on the greatest televised competition of all-time. I think I concluded too many former "Gong Show" contestants/employees would be dead, and I also worried about the book's marketability. Chuck Barris was hot in '06, but how long would that last?
Untitled "Simpsons" History (2009) – At the time a lot of rumors were swirling about "The Simpsons" finally coming to an end. That didn't happen, but I abandoned this idea mainly because I heard Morgan Spurlock was making a "Simpsons" documentary. Had I known his end product would be some gimmicky forty-five minute nonsense instead of the in-depth feature length "Simpsons" doc we deserve maybe I wouldn't have jumped ship.
My Life Is A Screenplay! (2010) – The high school teacher who semi-successfully sued 20th Century Fox for plagiarizing his Christmas comedy script read my post about Jingle All The Way being a cursed property and e-mailed me with an offer to co-write a book about his life. I had just started work on This Music Leaves Stains so I had to turn him down. There also didn't seem to be much else in his life aside from "I sued a movie studio and won but then they took the money back." Also, that title. Woof.
Naturally I reserve the right to resurrect any of these properties at a future juncture. You never know when Chuck Barris might be hot again.

More on the Writer's Wish List
If you're struggling to figure out what to buy for your writer friend or what to tell your loved ones to get you, try some more of these (and forget things like "printer paper"–I'm trying to include things that are both fun to give and get):
Membership to AvantGuild, Freelance Success, Ask Metafilter, Lexis Nexis, Journalist Express or their favorite magazines.
A certificate for a massage, after all that time in front of the computer.
A paper shredder.
Noise-cancelling headphones.
Writer's Block wine.
And a few others, based on suggestions I got from Upod: a cool messenger bag/satchel like one from Timbuk2 for out of town assignments, digital recorder, a copy of the Slang & Euphemism Dictionary; Lojack For Laptops: "If your computer gets pinched, stolen, snatched, lapjacked or otherwise it will contact Lojack the next time it's connected to the internet and (secretly) provide IP info so they can track the culprits"; A copy of "Please Understand Me" by Keirsey and Bates "to help you deal with challenging clients (or to learn how to spot and avoid them at all costs)" and "The Panasonic KX-TG5672 phone, which talks and slows down incoming

Hey all
The Digital Foundry PC article from a few months ago got me thinking to build my own PC instead of buying one built. But my budget can go above Ł300 so I'd like some advice.
I'd like to spend around Ł500 and will use it for video editing, possibly gaming, then surfing the net/general useage. I already have HDs, optical drive and wifi cards so I plan to buy:
CPU, mobo, RAM, PSU, case
I've been looking at scan.co.uk and their value bundles, and would prefer Intel and nVidia from what I've read, but happy to consider alternatives. At the moment I don't plan to overclock but if this really might be a benefit in the future then I'd consider factoring it in now.
I'm looking at either of these two bundles:
CPU - i5 3450, 3.1mhz
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-H61MA-D2V
RAM - 8gb Corsair DDR3 1333mhz
..for Ł234
CPU - i5 3570, 3.4mhz
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H
RAM - 8gb Corsair DDR3 1600mhz
..for Ł312
I then plan to put it into the Fractal Design Define Mini case:
The last two things I would then need are the PSU and the graphics card. The PSU I can probably work out for myself, although it being quiet is a consideration. More importantly though, I want to spend around Ł100 on a graphics card - as I say, primarily this'll be for video editing.
Bearing in mind all the above, what would you recommend that I do? I just talked to someone at Scan, and they said that the video card doesn't matter and I should go for the most expensive CPU.. which I'm pretty sure is absolute horses**t
Thanks in advance for your expertise,

PC Build Help? Selecting the right CPU/GPU combination

I'm sure dirtbox will come in and correct me on this but I'd side with the slower processor with the faster RAM as you can overclock the processor up to 3570 speeds.
"If we hit that bullseye the rest of the dominoes will fall like a a house of cards, checkmate." Zapp Brannigan
You can't overlock the Sandy/Ivy Bridge CPU unless it's a K series (3570K, for example). But CPUs rarely tend to be the bottleneck, so the marginally slower CPU + a faster graphics card would be a better bet. Edit: if you don't get a K series, you probably won't want faster-than-your-bus RAM (unless you want to fiddle with your timings).
I recently ordered this graphics card for a friend in the UK (use Amazon.co.uk as the seller, Ł100.98) - I challenge Dirtbox to find a faster card for under Ł101! (Which (s)he probably will do, as I found that card weeks ago)
AMD cards also offer brilliant price/performance, but unfortunately not brilliant drivers.
Your case link is for a mATX case, but only one of the motherboards you've chosen is mATX, so be careful. mATX is the small one. I'd suggest that unless you specifically want a small case (not mentioned in the OP), a larger one will give both you and your hot hardware plenty of breathing room.
I picked up a BeQuiet! PSU last year, as they review positively and are quiet and full of electricity. I'm not saying that you should immediately buy a BeQuiet!, but as they seem to be relatively unknown, don't immediately dismiss them, either.

What kind of video editing?
I think the Scan guy might have been mostly right, the CPU is the most vital bit of equipment at this level. If you are editing 4K footage you would need an SSD probably (and I'd look at getting one anyway really). Not much difference between an Ł80 card and a Ł120 card for video editing as far as I know. Are you adding special effects? Compositing? Z-Brush or 3DSMax being used?
Edited by grey_matters at 08:52:30 04-09-2012
Zbrush has nothing to do with video editing and max is a bit of a stretch.

Thanks for the reply on this, as Jim has said you only overclock the K series chips but I'm not sure if the relative improvements would be worth it for the extra Ł80. It's a shame there doesn't seem to be an easy way to tell.
Thanks for this dude, I'd realised when I left the office yesterday that there might be an issue with the motherboard size so I'd have to find an equivalent in a mATX size.
I really would like a small case, I've got an ATX at the moment and it just looks so clunky. What kind of cooling would I go for if I still wanted the mATX - would it be a CPU cooler or an extra fan?
I noticed that the review of that graphics card on Amazon says it's pretty noisy, but I'll also look into the BeQuiet! PSUs too.
The sapphire 7850 oc 2gb is 160 odd on amazon at the moment if you can stretch a bit
You should be able to get a 560ti for about Ł140 odd now and it's a lot faster.
+1 / Like / Tweet this post
Thanks for the advice, I was thinking of getting a small, 'cheap' SSD for booting but to keep costs down I plan to use the two SATA 350gb HDs that I already have for main storage.
Special effects are a definite possibility in the future, but my friend and I are getting into amateur filmmaking so the kind of video editing would simply be editing in the traditional sense. So Adobe Premier and Pinnacle, initially.
But that said I'd still want to keep the options open for effects in the future, as well as being able to play any games for a good few years to come.
Edited by schnide at 10:46:03 04-09-2012
Thanks, I supposed the next question for you is.. would that be anywhere needed for my needs?
@Dirtbox a lot faster than what?
Surely it's not 30% faster than that Ł101 560 GTX? I thought the difference was ~10-15%? Although even having said that, I can't see a 560Ti for under Ł159 in the UK (even the 560 GTX seems to be hanging onto the ~Ł140 price point, which is why I thought that Ł101 card was a bargain). Edit: oops, actually, looking at the specs, that card is only a 560SE, which is ~10% slower than the 560 GTX(?). Sorry about that! Plenty for video editing and some decent gaming at 1920x1200 or lower, though, right?
If you're cramming an Ivy Bridge, a 560, a 2.5" SSD, two 3.5" HDDs, an optical drive and a wifi card into that, then you might find that you're full already? Not to mention hot (Ivy Bridges run hotter than Sandy Bridges). Was it the Ł145 3450 you were looking at? Scan have the Sandy Bridge i5-2500K for Ł167, which is probably worth shortlisting.
But in any case (har har), I'd still push you towards a ATX-format case. Just look at the dimensions and find a small(ish), svelte one. Or modify it yourself.

From a gaming standpoint the 7850 would be a better choice. For video editing on the other hand,I'd go with the geforce. I'm pretty sure those cuda cores make a difference in certain programs. Can't remember which one's mind, I just remember some of the programs my mrs uses advertising better performance with cuda equiped cards. It's the main reason I went for a quadro in her work machine over a firepro.
Although you could go for something cheaper if it's mainly for work. GPU doesn't make THAT much difference for the most part. I'm pretty sure Tom's hardware did a comparison between a low end 5 series and a 580 in cuda supported programs and it made zero difference.

@Dirtbox @FanBoysSuck @PenguinJim @superdelphinus @grey_matters @dsmx
Thanks for all your input guys, I think what I might do for the time being, given that I've no immediate gaming needs, is go for the i5 that can be overclocked, a mATX motherboard and the Define Mini case. That'll keep costs down and in the future if I do need to add a graphics card, I can spread out the costs and then look into finding the best way to keep it all cool.
Again, really appreciate your help and thanks again.
Edit: Screw it.. gone for the i7

@Dirtbox really? Every direct benchmark I've seen between the 7850 oc one and the 560, puts 7850 ahead in every single test, bar a couple where they are identical
I'm looking to buy a new pc to replace my current one but at a bit unsure of what to do. At the moment I'm a bit strapped for cash so was going to do it on finance which means I'm probably stuck on getting a pc built from me from either cyberpower or pcspecialist. My current setup is a old intel quad core 9950 4gb of ram and a gtx460 1gb oc. I was thinking of getting a good i5 base unit with 8gb of ram and keep my old graphics card until later next year. However when I price this up its still coming to 600/700 with the little extras for keeping it silent, my current pc is noisy as hell. So anyway is the i5 a good option or should I really go for the i7 ?
Are you sure you need a new pc?
Really, which games can't you run on a quadcore/460?
I'm asking because I have a similar system and stuff be running fine at 1080p.
....becasue I want a new shiny system lol. I may just leave it another 6 months or so
You got an SSD yet?
It's the most efficient speed boost that you can buy right now.
Yup got a ssd its awesome . Still need to get round to backing up the old 1tb drive I had and setting up as a media/install drive. After talking it over with you and my mate decided I'm not in the need for an upgrade at the moment. Going to buy a new case and a psu though as my current rig is noisy as hell and I think its the psu and cheap case that is the cause of teh noise.

I've been looking at buying a pc. Found one with the following spec but not sure if its worth the money:
Chillblast Vantage Gaming Case
Intel Core i5 3570 "Ivy Bridge" Processor overclocked to up to 4.8GHz
Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard
16GB PC3-12800 DDR3 Memory
Chillblast Radeon 7950 3GB Graphics Card
120GB Corsair Force 3 SSD
2000GB SATA III 7200rpm Hard Disk
Samsung Blu Ray / DVD-RW Combo Drive
Chillblast 700watt EZCool PSU
Onboard High Definition Audio
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM
Included Peripherals:
Asus VS247H 24" TFT Monitor
Logitech Cordless Keyboard & Mouse
Also considering building one myself using similar parts. How much would it cost to buy the parts (or similar) separately? And is there any obvious weaknesses with these parts?
I will be using the pc mainly for gaming. It doesn't have to be top of the range but don't want to have to upgrade in the next few years

I recently priced up all the parts to build a very decent i7 machine, then created the same custom spec on PC Specialist. The latter was only Ł50 more for a lot less hassle. So I'm likely to get them to build it for me rather than do it myself. Their warranty is pretty good too, which takes more worry out of it.

"Entertaining as always!"
Heaven, Texas is one of SEP's best. It's charming, witty and as always, entertaining. Just when you think you know what's going to happen next, the storyline takes on a new twist. SEP never fails to disappoint.
"Good Read"
I love Sherryl Wood's books. This was a good read as a second in the series. I'm anxious to read Book 3. I do have to admit the Grandmother's Irish accent was distracting but the Texas accent on the bride of the brother.....the WORST. I'm from Texas and found it very offensive and not at all authentic. Not the author's fault.
"Never Disappoints"
Rachel Gibson is one of my absolute favorite authors. I was thrilled to see one of her books finally available on Audible. As always, her books never fail to disappoint...she is witty, a great story line and her characters are always interesting. Note of warning on this one...she can be a bit graphic at times!! I'm looking forward to more selections from Rachel soon, I hope!
"Fun Read"
As always in Nora Roberts style she creates interesting characters with a great plot. I would definitely recommend.
"Loved It!"
I loved the book! A great story line mixed with wit, humor and a twist. I would definitely recommend and I can't wait to read the other books in this series.

Two injured in hit-and-run
Date: August 10, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Two individuals suffered injuries during a hit-and-run accident involving three vehicles on the afternoon of Aug. 9.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, at about 4:10 p.m., Parrish resident Terry Boozer and Orlando resident Gary Garrott were driving northbound on U.S. 301 when an unknown driver came up from behind and collided with the rear of Boozer's trailer, causing the vehicle to rotate counterclockwise and travel into the left lane. This caused Garrott to take evasive maneuvers to the left, and he struck a median and overturned as Boozer's 2008 Ford pickup entered the median. Boozer's vehicle came to a final rest facing east in the median while Garrott's vehicle came to a final rest on its right side in the median facing north.
Boozer suffered minor injuries, and Garrott suffered serious injuries.
The unknown vehicle was last seen traveling north on U.S. 301 from the scene and was described as a gold passenger vehicle with front end damage.
Anyone with information on this vehicle or crash should contact Cpl. David Brunner of the Florida Highway Patrol at 751-7647, Ext. 439.

According to police investigators, a van turning left onto Bridgefarmer Road from U.S. Highway 380 failed to yield right of way Friday afternoon and caused a three car pileup.
Officials said no life threatening injuries were reported.
This wreck comes only a days after a seven-car crash near the same spot that sent two to the hospital.

These county jail inmates do a lot of work around Oldham County as part of the jail's work detail program. Inmates logged more than 29,700 hours of work from January to August this year.
Two rulings for open records law violations by county government were released in early November.
Oldham County resident Judy Ponder filed the open records appeals with the Office of the Attorney General in September.
Ponder asserted the county engineer and planning and development office both failed to fulfill records requests.
State law requires public agencies to determine within three business days if an open records request will be granted. If denied, the agency is required to send notification of why.
Oldham County magistrates were visibly surprised when they learned the judge-executive spent nearly $10,000 in county funds to install a guardrail on a state road.
And the guardrail doesn't meet state specifications, according Andrea Clifford, spokesperson for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

There's a new stink about the proposed Brownsboro school as officials debate who should provide sewer service to the property.
Members of Oldham County Fiscal Court will now decide whether to extend its interlocal agreement to provide sewer service to the Brownsboro school campus.
If the court decides not to provide sewer lines to the school, Crestwood Mayor Dennis Deibel said he's prepared to annex the area into city limits and provide sewer service.
When Oldham County EMS veteran EJ Mike fell on the stairs at the Crestwood substation nearly six weeks ago, he continued to work because he "enjoys helping people."
Besides, he said, he helped start OCEMS more than 20 years ago as one of three founders.
Now, though, Mike has to take time off. Despite physical therapy three times a week since the incident, the injuries to his hand and wrist haven't healed.
The new Oldham County EMS building in South Oldham has been deemed out of building code compliance in several regards during a recent inspection.

Oldham County Schools are in a slightly improved financial position compared to this time last year, though difficult economic times may be ahead, said Chuck Littrell, the district's chief financial officer.
The board of education closed the 2010-11 fiscal year with an unreserved balance of $8,641,908, or 7.72 percent of actual receipts.
A $25,000 grant for a Goshen area non-profit has led to zoning violations and a heated campaign by neighboring property owners for the founder to discontinue her program.

If i get one I want to feel like im riding the wave as i watch the vid, not look at the goofy faces i make.
If i get one I want to feel like im riding the wave as i watch the vid, not look at the goofy faces i make.
or mount on tail to see behind you.
Because they want that awesome barrel shot but it never gives you great perception of the barrel (speaking of a typical mount).
I personally always keep mine forward and adjust angles vertically.
I always wondered the same thing, it makes much more sense to point it towards where your going instead of at yourself the whole time...
I have one and it works great. But... the video is hard to watch since it is pointing at where you were rather than where you are going. Don't even bother putting it on the nose and turning it looking forward. It looks terrible like that all you see is your board going up and down, you really need to mount it on the tail but it has to be raised up or it gets covered in water during the whole ride (unless your on a longboard). I wore a head mount once to see if that would work but it sucked, with lots of vid of my feet and the board sliding up and down on the wave. To me the best part of the camera are the stills that you can lift off of the video. They can look cool even with it looking at my ugly mug.
Watch Road trip to Bucks, Thats what im talking about, i want some walls of my own.

I have one of the first 1080 gopros off the boat and have been experimenting with it since I got it. I am a mountain biker (primary activity) and have gotten limited good results doing that (tried everything but chest mount which from what I can tell gets the best results off road.)
On road the video is solid and one of the best perspectives Ive gotten is mounted on the fork. It shows the wheel and the road which produces good motion(action.) Mounted on the stem that shows both drops and hands and road is really good as well.
Ive also used it snowboarding. I mounted it on my boot facing forward but the perspective shifts too much left and right. The helmet mount yelded steady results because you shift your center/lower body more than your head/upper body. Helmet mount has been the best.
I have just bought my first surfboard (9feet for upper Texas surfing.) The best position for surfing small waves is pointing at the action, the person. Pointing the camera forward with no point of reference wont produce a very good video (total shortboard ripping excluded I cannot comment or stupid barrel rides.) If you wanted a video of action in small waves, as dorky as it looks, the head strap might be the best option because it will capture at least a little of the board to show action and all of the wave. In short its about perspective and action.
I have mounted the cam to the very tip and will be experimenting with in over the next couple of weeks.

The Perfect Boot

Member since
I got these boots a few weeks ago now and although i havnt had em in the snow yet, ive been wearing em around the house like slippers to keep warm. They are sooooo comfortable, they have heaps of support, and with the double boa system its so easy to have em anywhere from falling off to turning your foot blue. Best $ ive ever spent on my feet : ) They are smaller than you'd expect so ide suggest trying them on in a store before buying.

Confirms P&G's Commitment to Sustainable Innovation. Accelerates LS9's Entry into the Consumer Product Chemicals Market
South San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- LS9, Inc., the Renewable Petroleum Company™, today announced a new strategic partnership with Procter and Gamble (NYSE: PG), one of world's largest consumer products companies. This new partnership supports the joint development and commercialization of LS9 technology to produce key chemicals used within the P&G portfolio of consumer products.
In adopting LS9's technology, P&G will employ one of the cleanest and most efficient technologies available to produce chemicals for consumer products. LS9's revolutionary technology converts renewable materials into high-value, low-carbon, cost effective fuels and chemicals. The partnership demonstrates P&G's commitment to sustainable innovations.

"P&G is an ideal partner for LS9," said Bill Haywood, CEO of LS9. "By joining LS9's technology with P&G's market reach, the partnership will accelerate the delivery of sustainable, low-carbon, high-value chemical products into the world market."
P&G has had a long-term commitment to responsible growth and has made continued progress toward achieving its established sustainability goals. The company recently announced significant increases in its 2012 sustainability goals.

CEOs of major U.S. manufacturing and service companies in the Business Roundtable gave their best outlook for economic activity since early 2006.
The Roundtable's fourth-quarter survey of CEOs generated an economic outlook index of 101, up from an index level of 86 in this year's third quarter and the highest since a 102.2 reading in the 2006 first quarter.
The group includes the chief executives of the four largest U.S. freight railroads, some other transportation firms including FedEx and United Airlines, plus many large shipper companies and banks or other service firms. The association claims its member firms generate nearly $6 trillion in annual revenue and employ more than 12 million workers.
By The Numbers: JOC-ECRI Industrial Price Index.
The survey showed the CEOs on average expect the U.S. economy to grow 2.5 percent in 2011. However, 80 percent of respondents expect their companies' sales to strengthen over the coming six months, up from 66 percent in the third-quarter report.
Three months ago, 49 percent expected to raise their capital spending in the next half-year, but now 59 percent plan capital spending hikes.
The survey also marks a significant rise in expectations about employment, which is a major issue in how much the economy strengthens. So far, the recovery has seen only mild job gains, leaving the unemployment rate at a high 9.8 percent in November.
Most Business Roundtable CEOs in the latest survey still expect to keep their workforce at the same level over the next six months or make cuts. But 45 percent expect to increase employment in that period, up from just 31 percent in the third quarter and near the break-even point to net job creation.

VoIP Vulnerabilities
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a method for making phone calls over the Internet or using private networks. Traditional phone calls must travel over a series of switches and circuits owned by the telephone companies, which control the process and the charges. By using VoIP, both businesses and individuals can enjoy a substantial cost savings, especially while making long-distance calls. VoIP at a technical level is a communications method that uses the competing standards Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323,2 both of which are widely deployed. The two standards deal with the routing of voice conversations over the Internet, or IP-based networks. The standards define protocols that are derived from traditional phone systems.

My road ride has a 172.5 (I've ridden 170 w/no discernible difference). I have a new track frame and the deal included a 165 drive-side Campy C-Record crank-arm w/no chain ring. A few ???
1) Is the 165 too small (I'm 68" w/a 30 inseam)?
2) If #1 is fine, where do I get a 165 crank arm and chain ring?
3) I'm fairly fit so what size chain ring and rear sprocket will allow me to ride at 22 mph (assuming 90-95 rpm....I know there is a conversion table out there somewhere)?
Thanks for the help to a newbie fixie-SS'er
