MLB Rumors: Carlos Marmol Upping His Trade Value?
Don't look now, but Carlos Marmol is starting to pitch like the Marmol of all. That's huge for the Chicago Cubs because Carlos Marmol should be insanely tradable at this point in time. I know he's got a sizable contract, but every team in the race is going to be in the market for a power arm, late inning option. If Carlos Marmol continues to pitch well, I anticipate the Cubs trading him sooner rather than later.
What is Marmol's value? I think it's a TBA situation because the season has been a tale of two stories (or something like that?). Marmol has struggled, spent time on the DL, lost and regained the closer role, and may or may not keep the job while he remains with the Cubs.
With that being said, Marmol has one thing going for him. He can strike people out. There isn't anything more important for a late inning reliever because those guys needs to be able to avoid contact in tough situations. Carlos Marmol can strike people out and that's something that can't be ignored.
What team is interested in Marmol? I would imagine all of them. I think the Cubs will have to eat a little money, but they should be able to get 2 pretty good prospects. If they don't get anything of value- no reason to trade him right now.
This is the best part of the MLB season. MLB Rumors are a ton of fun to be a part of, and we'll continue to update you guys here on Rantsports.com as the trade deadline gets closer.

Surfer riding tough wave of funds shortfall
Hareb is hoping a few more people get behind herBLANTON SMITH
Relevant offers
Dream Tour surfer Paige Hareb will need to self-fund her world title campaign from anticipated winnings if she cannot find the remaining $30,000 needed to compete next year.
It costs the 22-year-old about $60,000 to travel and compete, about half of which is funded by her sponsors DHL, Subaru, Debit Success and Mt Woodgee.
To raise the remaining $30,000 Hareb joined website Sportfunder in the hope the public would support her world title dreams.
So far $8155 has been donated through the site, leaving her with a $21,845 shortfall.
"It's enough to do the Australasian leg of tour," she said.
"I'd pay for it [the rest of the tour] out of my winnings so the better results I get the more money I'll have."
Hareb has already reduced her costs by going without a coach.
"I don't have a coach now to save money. It was hard to pay for them to go around the world."
The online funding project closes next Tuesday and Hareb is hoping a few more people get behind her.
Yesterday Phillippa Robertson, of Publishing World Limited, donated $3000 through the site.
"I guess it was going pretty slow and then I woke up this morning and saw Taranaki Showcase had put in $3000," Hareb said yesterday.
"It was a nice little surprise."
Robertson, who has never met Hareb and only just moved to the province, said she donated the money to help fund the young surfer's dreams.
"Someone needed to step up and help out," she said. "It's a big mission."
Creator of Sportfunder Craig Williamson said the website gave people the chance to donate or pledge money.
"Most sites only have pledges, so if the total isn't reached they don't have to pay," he said. "Only a couple of people have pledged money so most of it has been donated and goes straight to Paige."
Hareb said she had also applied for funding from High Performance Sport New Zealand.
"I'm allowed to apply for it but I haven't heard back from them yet," Hareb said.
It's not the first year Hareb has struggled to fund her Dream Tour expenses. She had to do the same this year after Billabong suddenly ceased its sponsorship at the end of 2011.
To raise money for her 2012 campaign Hareb took on Hayley Holt in the fight for life. But another charity boxing match was not in the pipeline, she said.
"I don't have anything lined up, but I'm open to any new ideas," she said.
Hareb will be back in the water in the next couple days after being beached for a month due to surgery.
"I broke my pinkie snowboarding and I've got a metal plate and screws in it now."
Once back in the water Hareb's focus will turn to 2013, her fifth consecutive year on tour.

Telling tales at home
By LMarkman on June 27, 2014
I'm big on people having hobbies. Things that they enjoy outside of work and parenthood. They provide great examples of "parents are people too" to our children (or grandchildren). And hopefully these hobbies are activities which can be shared with little ones as they get older.
My husband is interested in lots of things and he pursues each of his interests when he can. I have more limited hobbies than he does that I really need to make more time for. (But that is a post for another day: Figuring out when I am supposed to do stuff.)
One of my hobbies is telling stories. That is something that I am able to do with my son now. He is at the right age for participation in imagination games, too, so that helps. When he is with me, I like to throw him into the middle of an adventure story.
Suddenly, the car ride to school becomes a space alien odyssey and grocery store trips become hunts for pirate treasure (and cookies).
On my birthday, my brother's family gave me the Tell Tale Card Game. Each card has two images on it and you use them as prompts in telling a story. You can tell your own or you can build a story with other players.
And my son is amazing at it.
He loves playing this game with me. And I love hearing all the crazy ideas he comes up with: car crashes (but everyone is ok), trips into the city to get ice cream, a man stuck on an island with a monster who liked to be tickled. His stories make me laugh, and it has been a great way for us to share what I like to do.
What hobby are you looking forward to sharing? Tell me in the comments.

As Ray Allen continues to flap his gums now that he is surrounded by the games biggest prima-donnas, one has to wonder if he is not only burning the bridge, but blowing the thing sky-high between he and Boston. The burns were bad enough that Ray opted to take less money to join the Celtics biggest rival of this generation, but as if that were not enough Ray has used every opportunity speaking with the media to blast Boston and his time there. With that in mind, one has to wonder whether Ray Allen now deserves to be in the rafters among the Celtics greats. Think of the names in the rafters of the TD Garden, Bill Russell, Larry Bird, John Havlicek… the best of the best that have ever worn the white and green. Some were lesser known such as Bill Sharman, Jim Loscutoff, or KC Jones but all held themselves to one universal standard of honor, Celtics Pride. What Celtics Pride is may vary based on who you ask, but the synopsis of every definition is to conduct oneself with integrity, to p...

Question & Answers
Why can't I get my zombies fully trained
My mummy has been in trained for two weeks straight and I can't get h fully trained. I just need the last one. I have tried to mix him up with different people. He keeps getting 1% stuff if he wins... I am so frustrated I'm about to delete this game. Anyone else having this problem
Answer from: Malandrox
You must mix him only with another character tht only has the trait you need. This way if tut wins, he gets that trait guaranteed
Answer from: boss243
Get him full size and put him in and someone not as good as king tut wich is the mummy.
Answer from: Joseph
U have to train the character which has the boost king tut doesnt. For example king tut is lucky, so dont get him the character thet has luck. Use the one that haz storngth, fast and thoughness boost
Answer from: Blacktop1547
I have that problem right now and so im doing zombie artist vs vampire patient because patient still needs luck and he has speed and the artist needs speed and she has luck and i think you should do that so either tut or another monster can get full training. Try it.

Stop In At The Vinyl Cafe With Stuart McLean: March 6
The motto for Dave's humble Vinyl Cafe, "We may not be big, but we're small," speaks to heart of many Canadians. What is not so small, however, is the two million people who wait the entire week to tune into the CBC's Vinyl Cafe radio show hosted by Stuart McLean - and he's taking his show on the road with a stop in Dawson Creek on March 6.
You can't have The Vinyl Cafe without Dave and Morley and the entertaining cast of characters who make up this audio wonderland, but the show also highlights new Canadian musical talent. This element comes to life on the tour as well, with live and recorded music by established and up-and-coming musicians of the True North.
Experience this truly Canadian phenomenon at the Unchaga Hall, just around the corner from the Pomeroy. Tickets are $37-$52 plus fees. More info here. Show starts at 7:30 p.m.

wine aerator & decanter set
- the story
In Vino Veritas
This essential aerator and decanter set will help you uncover the true flavor of your wine. The aerator has a funnel-like shape with a long, perforated neck that distributes the wine across the inner surface of the carafe as you pour, softening the flavor of tannin-rich wines without a lengthy wait. The carafe is made from sturdy borosilicate glass, which is resistant to thermal shock and stress. Its mouth has a silicone lining to prevent drips, and its Scandinavian design strips away all frills, leaving bold, clean lines and one typographical flourish: the word "wine" etched in serif free lower case font along its side.
Unfortunately, this item cannot ship outside of the United States at this time.

Woman On Top: Niki de Saint Phalle
Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture opens with Niki de Saint Phalle's feminist sculptures at the Tate. They certainly look dramatic, but are they any good? Tom Lubbock finds out
Monday 04 February 2008
Culture is coming. Look sharp. The banners that hang down between the massive Corinthian columns of St George's Hall carry a series of commands: Imagine; Remember; Reflect; React. What is this – Nineteen Eighty-Four, but with the aesthetes in charge? Not quite. It's Liverpool, now, one month into its year as European Capital of Culture.
It's not the only sign. There are more banners strung across the main shopping street, in a less imperative mode. They simply display a list of handy sub-headings – "Heritage", the first one says, and the next one says "The Arts", and then "Maritime", then "Sport", "Music", "People" – at which point the sequence begins again.
But what about books? For me, the conclusive sign that Culture has arrived here – Culture with a big C and a big stick – is that Henry Bohn's second-hand bookshop has finally been forced to close. In a prime position just in front of the main station, it was notable not only for its choice of books but also for the consistently high standard of conversation among staff and customers.
It had long resisted an attempt by one of the commercial arms of Culture to requisition it, flatten it, and develop it into something that – even now – remains quite unspecified. But it has lost its legal battle, and it closed at the weekend. No surprise really. One kind of culture usually pushes out other kinds, and it is not the only example around the city of the price exacted by all the improvements.
Meanwhile, there are big building projects still going on everywhere. Plus there's some art. At the Walker Art Gallery, the two come together. The "renowned international artist" Ben Johnson is painting, live, an enormous panorama of Liverpool viewed from an imaginary vantage point high above the Mersey. He and his team are not in every day, so you'll need to check dates. But as with any piece of methodical and minute craftsmanship, it's interesting to watch.
The picture is 16ft wide, and the view is rendered in a crisp, miniaturist manner, every detail near or far in uniform sharp focus – a toy town, scrubbed clean. It's derived from photos, which are then processed on computer. Images of individual buildings are reprojected so that they fit into the overall perspective, and then converted into a large number of stencils, with which the artist, working in airbrush, does most of the actual painting. The Liverpool Cityscape is due to be completed in early March, and will be shown in the Walker for the rest of the year.
It's almost three-quarters done now, but the discrepancy between the how and the what is already plain. While the ongoing technical operation is absorbing, you can see that the finished picture is going to be of limited interest. Catch it while it's still in progress.
I also feel bound to mention "sk-interfaces", an exhibition at FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) featuring "17 international artists who use 'skin' as a material and concept for their technology-based work." Duty-bound – because though the show is definitely on the Culture-vulture's itinerary, its title and its advertised subject were both so off-putting I simply couldn't face it. I wonder if any of them made lampshades.
Whole bodies, in various states of metamorphosis, fill the top floor at Tate Liverpool. Its first special exhibition for the year of Culture is devoted to Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002). Saint Phalle is a French artist with a carnivalesque reputation. You may know her Stravinsky Fountain, the multi-coloured, Heath Robinson water-feature next to the Pompidou Centre.
Or you may have seen photos of her famous Hon, a gigantic female form, curvy, recumbent and hollow, constructed in Stockholm in the 1960s. Visitors entered between its open legs, through a vagina-portal, and there were further entertainments inside. If the Tate had been able to reconstruct this 90ft-long creation, it would have been magnificent. Not possible, and it's had to make do with a more conventional display.
"Hon" is Swedish for "she", and Saint Phalle was a pioneering exponent of one of the dominant styles of feminist art. She fought on the mythic front. Her female figures are archetypal, elemental, symbols of both oppression and exuberance, often simultaneously. Agony-anger-energy-ecstasy is the emotional compound they embody. The damaged victim becomes the revenging fright monster becomes the goddess of free and unbounded power and joy.
It's an idiom that has its own tradition. This line runs through many writers and artists of the second half of the 20th century: Louise Bourgeois, Sylvia Plath, Angela Carter, Helen Chadwick, Tracey Emin. Saint Phalle's work reminded me in particular of the rad fem theologian Mary Daly, big in the Eighties, author of Gyn/Ecology, coiner of some terrible Joycean wordplay, and deviser of a Tolkienesque mythology in which Nags, Crones, Spinsters and Furies struggle against the Cockocracy.
This kind of thing probably works better in visual art than in writing. Exuberant empowerment is hard to write convincingly, but Saint Phalle's effigies – whatever else you might thing about them – don't feel fake. They're perfectly viable made-up creatures.
From her earliest works, she had understood the power of very densely encrusted collage (an odd point she has in common with her near contemporary Peter Blake). In reliefs and sculptures from the Sixties, like Miss Havisham's Dream or The Bride on Horseback, you find encrustation given a double role, as a mixture of plague and adornment. Large-scale figures are covered in bee-swarms of plastic toys and knick-knacks – soldiers, guns, dolls and doll-babies, skulls, various kinds of animal and critter. These things feel like a bugging infestation of social/psychological stuff, but also like evils that the goddess can simply wear as attributes, body-jewellery, incorporate into herself, ride through. They are all little; she is big.
This was followed by a series of polyester figures called Nanas, rounded, bouncy, breasty bodies, richly decorated with psychedelic patterns, who – massive and weightless at once – tumble and float and generally bestride the world like female colossi. These are more purely positive images (fat is beautiful), and they are sometimes described as a retort to the misogynistic treatment of women in (male) modern art.
That would be OK, if they weren't rather obviously derived from a male modern artist, Fernand Léger. They adapt his trick of making a rounded body look both as heavy as stone and as light as an inflatable, giving a feeling of power and innocence. That was exactly what the socialist Léger wanted for his images of modern workers, and exactly again what Saint Phalle wanted for her images of liberated female sexuality. The trick is simply recapitulated with a different moral – which is not to say that it doesn't work perfectly well the second time round.
As I am not a woman, I don't know what I would feel about these pieces, as a woman. As an art critic, I say that Saint Phalle deployed an eloquent artistic language without ever making a single work that fully grips your attention. Perhaps gallery art wasn't her true calling. She spent much of later years designing a spectacular Tarot Park in Tuscany (based on the Tarot pack and partly inspired by Gaudi's Park Guell in Barcelona). She also created a perfume. She died from long-term polyester poisoning.
But if you want to see this kind of art done well, just go down two levels at Tate Liverpool, where – as part of general survey of 20th-century art – you can find a piece by a French woman sculptor of a generation before. Germaine Richier's Chess Board has five grotesque, multi-coloured totems, loosely based on chess pieces. They're awkward monsters, made of startling, spiky gestures, and full of vitality.
And I should add that this whole display – The 20th Century, How it Looked and How It Felt – drawn from the Tate's permanent collection, is a real treat, a much better showing of the work than you'll ever see at Tate Modern, and worth a visit to the Capital of Culture all by itself.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Let Bridget be Bridget
And by extension, allow women the confusion and insecurity that comes with imperfection
Poor Bridget Jones.
The new Bridget book, Mad About the Boy, has received some nasty reviews, especially in the U.K. Some of that criticism is valid. The third BJ outing is an uneven affair that can't replicate the zeitgeisty comic perfection of Helen Fielding's 1996 debut, Bridget Jones's Diary.
But a lot of the analysis isn't concerned with Fielding's writing. Many of the complaints are about Bridget herself, almost as if she were a real live person rather than a comically exaggerated fictional character. Critics carp that Bridget is "vapid and self-obsessed," distracted by trivialities like her weight and her appearance, caught up in adolescent dramas of texting men who don't text her back.
According to this hard-line approach, Bridget is a crap female role model. She represents the pop-culture spectacle of "feminism dismantling itself," as one writer suggested after the first book became so successful, with the hard-won political gains of previous decades being frittered away in a flurry of dithering, dieting and Chardonnay.
That's one feminist approach to Bridget Jones.
Here's another: Would any of these letting-the-side-down arguments be made about a male character? Do we ever put this burden on fictional men, demanding that they stand in for their entire sex, that they embody the best ideals of 21st-century manhood? Do we castigate authors when their male protagonists sleep around or sabotage their careers or make poor life choices?
No, we don't. And that's a double standard.
There is no male equivalent to the Bridget Jones backlash. Just look at some of the boys of genre fiction. As Fielding herself has said: "Nobody worries about what Bertie Wooster is saying about masculinity." (And that's a good thing, because the only thing that P.G. Wodehouse's sublime comic creation has to say about anything is "What ho!")
Or take James Bond, another fictional British icon. In the Bond films, he is periodically updated in terms of what he drives and drinks and wears. But has he ever been expected to "grow" as a character? Has he been asked to provide a positive, realistic role model for young men? Nope. As Bridget might say, James looks v.g. in a dinner jacket but he is an emotional f wit. Despite the decades he's had to become a fully evolved human being, 007 remains a commitment-phobic borderline sociopath. (And amen to that, or the movies would be really dull.)
Bridget is not a political leader or an Olympic athlete. She's not Angela Merkel. Hell, she's not even Gwyneth Paltrow. She's a made-up comic character, what Fielding has described as "the ultimate banana-skin girl." Her role is to pratfall through a series of laughable disasters on her way to a happy ending.
So even though we left Bridget at the end of the second book engaged to Mark Darcy, that top barrister who looks a lot like Colin Firth, she does not start the third book settled into contented married life. Bridget is now a single mother, flailing around, blowing business meetings, being late for school pickup (just a little bit late, but motherhood being what it is, that's enough for guilt-inducing fits). She is also reluctantly getting back into dating, which was bad enough when she was in her 30s and is now utterly disastrous.
If she were self-confident, competent and calm, serenely balancing her work, her family and her love life, if she were taking a healthy, balanced approach to eating and exercise and vodka, Bridget would make an excellent feminist exemplar. She would also be a supremely unfunny comic character.
Bridget has changed. She now has two small children in her care, which means her party-girl excesses are confined to those weekend "mini-breaks" she loves. She now frets about whether she can carry off the look of "enormous handbag and sunglasses in manner of a celebrity at airport." She worries over the awkwardness of bringing a 29-year-old date to a friend's 60th birthday party.
Bridget is definitely middle-aged but, according to her critics, she is not middle-aged in the right way. "If we have to deal with her being 50," says one commentator, "we at least want to be rewarded with an Oprah-esque narrative of aging that embraces self-knowledge, self-respect and self-acceptance."
Speak for yourself, sister. Not everyone views "Oprah-esque narratives" as a reward. First off, Oprah is not that funny, especially when she has her "self-care" face on (leaning forward, head tilted to one side). Secondly, Fielding has consistently mocked the whole self-help project. Anyone who bothers to distinguish between Bridget and Fielding's authorial comments on Bridget can see that those constant attempts at self-improvement come in for a lot of affectionate satire.
Bridget devours self-help books, searching for advice on dating (The New Rules, Changing the Rules, Love Has No Rules) and parenting (French Children Don't Throw Food). She adores resolutions and to-do lists and makeovers. None of it works. Bridget dreams about the impossible ideals pictured in women's lifestyle magazines -- "large Italian family having dinner under a tree while children play" -- only to return with a bump to everyday compromises -- kids watching mindless TV while exhausted mother burns the spaghetti Bolognese ("supermarket ready-prepared and possibly containing horse").
One of the recurring notions in the Bridget Jones trilogy is that the (frequent) female obsession with perfection is nonsense. Bridget is kooky and confused and insecure, and that's OK. She's not perfect. She is reassuring proof that perfection isn't necessary.
Maybe there's something feminist in that after all. Maybe it's time to let our female characters -- and ourselves -- be a bit messed up.

Prime Minister John Key says the contentious partial asset sales programme will continue despite the provisional results of the share offer referendum.
More than 1.3 million New Zealanders cast votes in the non-binding citizens initiated referendum; with the preliminary result released on Friday night showing 67.2 per cent did not support the Government's partial sell-off of Air New Zealand, Mighty River Power, Genesis Power and Meridian Energy.
Only 32.5 per cent of those who cast a vote backed the share floats.
All-up, just 44 per cent of eligible voters took part in the referendum.
Key, speaking this afternoon at the former Hobsonville Airbase north-west of Auckland, described the referendum as a "publicity stunt" which had cost the tax-payer up to $9m.
"Around about a quarter of New Zealanders voted against asset sales," Key said.
"Three-quarters of eligible New Zealanders said no they either weren't going to engage or voted for them.
"Three in four New Zealanders said no we don't agree with Labour and the Greens. I think it will be a dismal failure from their point of view."
Key said the referendum was not needed, claiming the Government had been re-elected at the 2011 General Election partially on the basis of the pending shares sell-off.
The results of the postal referendum was bad news for the opposition, he said.
He added Labour leader David Cunnliffe was "a bit deluded" in claiming the referendum was a victory for the anti-asset sales movement.
"I genuinely think Labour and the Greens will be very disappointed," Key said.
"From their point of view, they were hoping for a higher turnout ... it was a low turnout. Overall what it basically shows, it was pretty much a political stunt."
The referendum was triggered after 327,000 Kiwis signed a petition calling on the partial shares sale to be shelved by the Government.
To date, the Government has received $4 billion for the partial sell-off of Mighty River Power, Meridian Energy and Air New Zealand.
The partial sale of Genesis Energy is set down for the first half of 2014.
Finance Minister Bill English described the share sales programme as an important part of the Government's economic plan aimed to deliver more jobs, control debt and give New Zealanders one of the higher growth rates among developed countries.
"It has so far generated $4b which we are investing in new public assets like schools and hospitals without borrowing from foreign lenders," English said.
"Quite simply, we now have $4b less debt than we would have otherwise have had. If Labour and the Greens would rather have full State control of the companies and higher public debt, they should promise to borrow $4b to buy back Mighty River Power, Meridian Energy and Air New Zealand."
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said on Friday night that the provisional results of the referendum were a strong sign to the Government that the nation was opposed to the programme.
He called on Key to cancel the partial sale of Genesis Energy.
"John Key has arrogantly labelled Kiwis who oppose asset sales as extremists but tonight we have shown that by a margin of two to one Kiwis are against privatisation, and it is Mr Key who is out of touch with mainstream New Zealand," Norman said.
"New Zealanders have turned out in droves to say no more. This is a very high 'No' vote and a very good turnout for a postal vote. It's unambiguous. The Government must stop its privatisation agenda."

INDIA: H&M to open first store this year
By Katie Smith | 12 February 2014
H&M will open its first store in India this year
Swedish fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) is to open its first store in India this year, which will serve as its flagship in the country.
Commenting on the announcement, CEO Karl-Johan Persson said India is "one of the most exciting countries in the world right now, with so much potential".
The news comes after the retailer was last year given the go-ahead to open 50 single-brand retail stores in India with an investment of INR7.2m (US$115.5m).
That move came after India's government in January last year agreed to allow 100% foreign direct ownership in single-brand retail.
The government also eased restrictions on foreign investment into the multi-brand retail sector in August - nearly a year after initial reforms were introduced.
H&M, which is present in 53 markets worldwide, will face competition from Massimo Dutti, after its proposal to sell its clothing in India was approved last year.

GIGABYTE Launches BRIX Gaming Mini PC Barebone
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd., a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, today announced the launch of its latest addition to the GIGABYTE BRIX series of ultra compact PC kits, the GIGABYTE BRIX Gaming. Packing an AMD A8-5557M APU together with an AMD Radeon R9 M275X discrete graphics processor, the GIGABYTE BRIX Gaming has gaming performance that belies its compact size.
"The BRIX Gaming offers a real desktop PC experience in a compact form factor that end users now expect from a GIGABYTE BRIX device," commented Henry Kao, Vice President of GIGABYTE Motherboard Business Unit. "We're very excited about the continuing evolution of the desktop PC, challenging the notion that smaller PC design means abandoning performance."
GIGABYTE BRIX Gaming: Desktop Performance in Miniature
The BRIX Gaming compact PC kit is literally small enough to sit in the palm of your hand (measuring a mere 59.6 mm x 128 mm x 115.4 mm) and features a high-performance AMD A8-5557M APU plus a dedicated AMD Radeon R9 M275X graphics processor. The BRIX Gaming includes support for both mSATA SSD and standard 2.5" SATA hard drive installation - ideal for storing the latest 3D gaming titles while enjoying a fast and responsive OS install on SSD. The GIGABYTE BRIX Gaming features both Mini DisplayPort and HDMI ports on the rear panel, enabling support for simultaneous dual display connectivity.
The BRIX Gaming takes the performance you would expect of a full tower gaming PC, in a compact form factor that is much more suited for the living room. Gaming enthusiasts traveling to LAN events, parties and contests and will also enjoy having a gaming rig with incredible portability.
AMD Radeon R9 M275X
Accompanied by 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, the AMD Radeon R9 M275X is a discrete graphics processor that offers superb 3D gaming and GPU-accelerated application performance. The AMD R9 M275X supports the latest graphics acceleration technologies including Microsoft DX11.1, Shader Model 5.0, OpenGL 4.1. The AMD R9 M275X also supports the latest OpenCL 1.1 standard providing GPU-accelerated performance in general purpose applications.
By employing a discrete, fully programmable GPU, the BRIX Gaming is ideal for tackling processor-intensive media editing and encoding applications. Today's GPU accelerated applications leverage the multi-core design of the GPU to greatly improve overall processing performance - this makes the BRIX Gaming well suited to creative professionals using media editing and encoding applications.
A Flexible, Compact DIY PC Kit
The BRIX Gaming is sold as a DIY PC kit, shipping with a Wi-Fi Mini PCIe module pre-installed, requiring only SO-DIMM system memory and a choice of either, or both mSATA SSD or standard 2.5" hard drives. The BRIX Gaming maintains the DIY PC ethos, giving users the flexibility to independently choose preferred operating system, integrated storage and system memory configurations.
USB 3.0 and Network Connectivity:
The GIGABYTE BRIX Gaming integrates four USB 3.0 ports (two front, two rear), ensuring ample connectivity for peripherals, storage devices and more. In addition to including a Gigabit Ethernet port, the GIGABYTE BRIX Gaming also includes a Mini PCIe module offering IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi and the latest Bluetooth 4.0, providing connectivity for low power Bluetooth devices and peripherals, as well as allowing users to easily connect their mobile devices.
VESA Support:
Bundled with a VESA bracket, the BRIX Gaming can easily be mounted behind a monitor or HDTV making it discreetly hidden from view. This offers a simple and elegant way to turn any VESA-compliant display or TV into a full-featured PC or digital signage unit.

Hi there, world! Darlena P. here, a young, impressionable soul ready to expand the minds of other curious souls. So you want to spice up your life by learning the magic of music, algebra, crocheting, baking, and accounting? I know, they're unrelated but it's up to you as to what you want to learn! I've been playing music for 13 years, starting with the piano. Then opportunities came up and I picked up clarinet, guitar, and upright bass over the years (the bass was almost by accident). Moving on to the other subjects: algebra and accounting! Algebra was my favorite subject in school (still is my favorite subject ever) and I am currently majoring in accounting at UCI (Zot). Baking and crocheting are how I keep sane in college, so it might help my fellow students out there. I hope to help ...
Nothing like the smell of fresh bread or a beautifully browned and deliciously delicate pie crust to make people love you even more. I have learned a LOT by making some great boo boos.

I'm ready. Are you? My name is Les K. and I'm really excited to meet you! I have a BA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing and an MA in American Studies.

You start where you are, we work on what you need to improve and then you go on into your life. I have been a tutor for more than 10 years and a teacher for over 20 years. I have helped my students to write papers/essays, poems and stories, college applications, compile resumes, write letters, answer questions on a wide variety of topics from the personal to the professional. I am curious, funny, interested in people and dogs! I love to cook, take photographs, and read. My students say I am ...
I learned to bake from my mother and grandmother when I was a child. My first success was a coffee cake and it was, well, not the best. But I persevered and kept learning and unlocked the secrets to beautiful bread doughs, luscious cakes and pies, fluffy and flakey pastries. I will teach you from the beginning how baking is a science, but a fun and tasty science. Learn alternate methods for breads, quick biscuits that melt in your mouth, and the flakiest croissant you could imagine.
My approach to learning is to have fun! Whether you choose knitting, spinning, crochet, baking, or noodle making, you will have fun while learning and achieving awesome results! With both crafting and cooking, you are creating art so you should be able to express yourself. I have been teaching knitting, crocheting, and cooking for over 10 years and love to pass my knowledge along. I will teach from the extreme basics to advanced. If you want to learn fair isle knitting or how to make German noodles, I can help you achieve the results you want.
