Summertime. It's the little bundle of memories we carry with us from our childhood, year after year that makes summertime what it is. Whether stifling hot days and balmy evenings or chilly, gray dampness seeping through the cracks of tightly closed windowpanes and drawn curtains, June, July and August are infused with something intangible, special that will always remind us of the best of summer. Hand-crank ice cream machines and family barbecues in the backyard, clam bakes on the beach or splashing in the lake surrounded by tall firs and palms gently dancing in the warm breeze. Dashing barefoot across the scorching pavement, spitting watermelon seeds across the lawn as the cool, sticky sweet juices run down chins and drip off of elbows. Days of utter and complete freedom from all schoolyard constraints, free to do as we please, run and play and laugh. Family trips to grandma's, away from Florida's searing heat, the unexpectedly mellow temperatures echoing the lazy, mellow days.
Florida winters were punctuated by citrus. Visits to the groves on the Indian River, just a jump over the bridge, rewarded us with treasures golden, orange, sweet and tangy: brown paper grocery bags filled to bursting with navels, tangelos, tangerines and grapefruit to be lined up on dad's workbench awaiting eager hands to dig in. Eaten one, two, three at a time, our only dilemma being whether to slice into wedges or peel off the thick skins and pull apart the luscious sections with sticky fingers. Nothing, not pears, apples or bananas distracted us from our citrus mission, tempted us with other flavors or sensations, led us astray from these wondrous Florida fruits.
But summer has always meant stone fruits. Peach upon peach, nectarines plump, ripe, juicy and ever so sweet were my mainstay, my passion. Cherries and apricots by the handful could sustain me for an entire afternoon, eaten like candy. Never pausing long enough to even consider tucking any of these precious gems into a pie or cake, they were enjoyed as is, fresh, cool, oftentimes crisp, sometimes soft and ripe. A childhood in Florida called for refreshing nourishment, soothing the temper and cooling the body. Popsicles in a rainbow of colors or sno cones slurped down greedily, fruit drinks chugged down by the gallon in my favorite turquoise plastic cup, and fresh fruit straight from the refrigerator and plenty of it fulfilling every need, every urge.
But now I am all grown up. No more burning southern heat, no more front yard full of a gaggle of gangly kids playing tag or that special spot in the branches of the tree where I could stay perched for hours, book in hand, lost in a fairytale land far away, the shade a cool respite. Our summer in Nantes has been particularly temperate bordering on chilly. We've had weeks entire of rain and wind, gray days when a sweater is wrapped around the shoulders for comfort and the hand itches to turn on the furnace just for one more day. There has been little need for cool refreshment, no desperate search for shade. The fruit is late arriving on the market with not even a word of excuse for her tardiness. Strolling daily past the pastry shops, cool glass cases filled with cakes and tarts each one boasting strawberries or raspberries or peaches all dressed up in French finery: tiny, delicate choux, wisps of spun sugar, swirls of heavenly whipped cream and showers of chocolate curls, I couldn't but bring home my bounty of fruit and turn it into a gorgeous confection. Peaches or plums, nectarines, apricots, each begging to be nestled, coddled, cloaked in buttery pastry, desiring only to show off her feminine colors of pink, purple or gold, her sweetness complimented by a tender crust, her softness caressed by the crisp, flaky folds of pâte feuilletée.
Riding high on my wildly successful trip up the Canal Nantes à Brest, my confidence bolstered, I was inspired to once again tackle the ever-elusive puff pastry. Mysterious in her thousand layers of golden flakes, temperamental and fussy in her demands, toying with my affections and teasing me with the magic of her perfection always just out of reach, I desired, nay, needed to master her. She has ever flirted with my emotions, giving me hope then dashing all expectations to the ground. Butter oozing out the edges, seeping out from dough rolled a tad too thinly, adhering to hands, tabletop, rolling pin…. Cursing emanating from the kitchen, harsh and piercing; my confidence sinking into the mire of shattering hopes, faith in my own abilities cracking under the strain and disappointment. I desperately ask for help; I thrust the sticky dough into the refrigerator bewailing yet another failure. Yet my desire for puff pastry and creating the perfect, elegant tart urges me on, fold after fold, turn after turn, and I finally give up for the night, forcing myself to be satisfied with what effort I have made and the energy expended. Visions of the perfect Jalousie fill my head: juicy, luscious nectarines, their ripe summer sweetness hidden pale pink and feminine inside a delicate trellis of crispy, flaky puff pastry, slats that resemble the old jalousie blinds of our grandmother's front windows revealing just a hint of what lies within. And I dream of pastry.
I awake the next morning refreshed and newly confident. Nectarines washed and lovingly patted dry…sliced and dusted with sugar. Puff pastry sliced and rolled, chilled to perfection and I am thrilled and excited. I cut and trim, brush and bake and watch through the oven window with the wonder of a child. And I have done it! As we were pleasantly surprised at our own courage and fortitude in the face of something so daunting as our weeklong bike trip, as astonished as we were at our own patience and resilience, thus am I enchanted and amazed and rather overwhelmed by the success and beauty of my Nectarine Jalousie. Filled so simply with sweet, ripe fruit of summer and a dash of cinnamon and sugar, this is simplicity at its best, the gorgeous pastry a showcase for the nectarines, plums, peaches, apricots, whatever summer stone fruit you wish to choose, yet so much more impressive than the humble, homely tart. So push up your sleeves and tackle the adventure along with me…
I am sharing this wonderful Nectarine Jalousie with lovely Sukaina of the gorgeous blog Sips and Spoonfuls who is hosting this month's Monthly Mingle for Meeta. Sukaina has chosen the timely theme of Stone Fruit. Perfect!
I am so proud and excited to announce that I am to be a speaker at Foodista's International Food Blogger Conference in New Orleans the weekend of August 26 – 28! I will be presenting Writing about Food and Culture. Please let me know if you will be attending, as I would love to meet you!
NECTARINE JALOUSIE TART with homemade puff pastry
PUFF PASTRY or PÂTE FEUILLETÉE
Yield: 2 ½ pounds (1 kilo) dough
Remember that the refrigerator is your best friend (thanks @DorieGreenspan) when it comes to buttery puff pastry. Refrigerate the dough after every 2 turns unless the weather or your kitchen is warm and the butter begins to melt, then refrigerate after each roll/fold/turn sequence for up to 30 minutes.
2-1/2 cups (12.2 oz/ 354 g) unbleached all-purpose flour (type 55)
1-1/4 cups (5.0 oz/ 142 g) cake flour (regular French flour)
1 tbsp. salt (you can cut this by half for a less salty dough or for sweet preparations)
1-1/4 cups (10 fl oz/ 300 ml) ice water
1 pound (16 oz/ 454 g) very cold unsalted butter
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
1/2 of your batch of puff pastry
About 4 or 5 ripe nectarines for half a batch of puff pastry
½ tsp ground cinnamon
About 2 Tbs granulated brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten, for egg wash
Wash and pat dry your nectarines. Slice into wedges or rounds (as I did).
Remove your puff pastry from the refrigerator where it has been chilling. With a sharp knife, slice the dough in half, wrap up one half and return to the fridge for using later for another tart whether sweet or savory. Slice the half you have kept out into two equal pieces.
On a floured work surface, Roll out one piece of dough into a square or rectangle about 1/8 inch (3 mm) or only slightly thicker. Make sure the dough is evenly flat and the same thickness. Carefully transfer the sheet of dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Make sure your baking sheet is either much wider and larger than the Jalousie or has a lip all around it as there is always the risk of juice leaking out of the tart.)
Line up your nectarine slices or wedges either overlapping or close together depending on how thick they are leaving about 3/4 inch (2 cm) edge all around. Dust with cinnamon and sprinkle rather liberally with the sugar? Gently brush the edge all around lightly with water.
Roll out the second piece of puff pastry dough to the same thickness, width and length. Very carefully, fold it in two lengthwise, matching the edges, being careful not to press together so the sides stick together – you want to be able to easily open it up again. Using a very sharp knife (dipping in flour helps) cut a series of parallel slits about ½ inch wide, leaving a ¾-inch wide edge (see photo). Very carefully unfold and place on top of the nectarine-filled base dough. Match the edges all around and then press the top and bottom rims together to seal. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, trim the edge all around evenly (place all scraps back on top of the wrapped dough in the refrigerator) then press the edges again. You can press the tines of the fork gently into the dough edges.
Brush the surface of the dough – both the edges and the slats – with lightly beaten egg.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the pastry is a deep golden brown and flaky, even the sides.
The juices should be bubbling through the slatted top. Serve warm with whipped cream, ice cream or simply as is.

|Pick 6
Jill Byrne's Handicapping
Race 1
Liberated (2) returned to the races after a quick freshening and is back to her preferred surface where she ran a solid third against graded competition. Natural Rush (7) out of graded stakes winning mare Lu Ravi, she seemed to finally put it all together last time out. Anahauc (6) has been a consistent performer with that last race being a throw out race as it was her first effort on polytrack. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 2-7-6
Race 2
Profetiza (10) was impressive in her debut just missing after leading most of the way and should be fit today. Allegheny Angel (4) was a fast closing second in her debut and pedigree suggests she should like the switch the main track. Kansas (3) may have needed that last race after a lengthy layoff but will be ready to fire today for strong connections. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 10-4-3
Race 3
Cozze up Lady (1) was impressive first back off the layoff and was a nice winner on the turf at Churchill Downs last summer. Koko Loca (6) has worked well leading up today's race and will like the stretch back out to a mile. Cat Lore (5) was a consistent performer at Fair Grounds this winter against tougher foes and will be a pace factor. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 1-6-5
Race 4
Sweet Shirley Mae (1) has been chasing Oaks contenders and is running at a more suitable sprint distance today. Love Train (8) has run two quality races and the winner of her last start came back to win her next start. Magical Moon (7) suffered a tough beat after leading most of the way in the Beaumont (G2) and ran well in her dirt race in New Orleans. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 1-8-7
Race 5
Strike Charmer (10) has the most upside in the field after finishing a fast closing third after breaking slow in her debut at Keeneland. Zadina (5) has had plenty of chances to win and if she could find a slightly improved closing kick today could upset the top choice. Artful Lady (7) well bred daughter of turf star Artie Schiller will appreciate the added distance and could be a factor in the exotics. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 10-5-7
Race 6
Believe You Can (4) returns to the site of her 2012 Kentucky Oaks victory and has dominated rivals in her first two starts of the season. Authenticity (2) has been working well over the Churchill Downs surface and was a big winner two back. On Fire Baby (5) is coming off a gate to wire win in the Apple Blossom (G1) and will be the pace setter today. More Chocolate (3) could factor in exotics. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 4-2-5-3
Race 7
Wave Theory (10) was caught very wide last time out but with a better trip today and return to the turf she will be tough to beat. Tokyo Time (9) was bumped hard at the start last time and just missed against graded foes and has shown a tremendous improvement since the addition of blinkers two starts back. Kitten's Dumplings (3) returns to the grass which will be a positive change with her pedigree and past performance on the turf course. Private Ensign (6) will make her first start on the turf and has shown signs of liking the turf in morning drills. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 10-9-3-6
Race 8
Calistoga (14) is a perfect two for two and has a tough outside draw today but the seven furlong distance should give her plenty time to clear the field and she is the horse to beat in a competitive bunch. Blueeyesintherain (3) has done nothing wrong in her career and has a perfect record over the Churchill main track. Fusaichiwonderful (2) has only lost one start in seven tries and that was versus Grade 2 opponents after a lengthy layoff. She will pressure the top pick right from the start. Daincinginthecircle (11) races at a distance she has yet to miss the board at. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 14-3-2-11
Race 9
Bourbon Courage (8) has faced quality competition of late and will be sitting in great position just off the early pace. Macho Macho (7) ran well off a very long layoff and has shown an affinity for the Churchill track. Take Charge Indy (6) will be in the hunt for the early and top jockey Rosie Napravnik retains the mount. Hymn Book (4) has been away from the races for a few months but is working sharp for his return. JILL'S SELECTIONS –8-7-6-4
Race 10
Noble Tune (4) finished a close second in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf and was a fast closing winner in his return after a brief layoff. War Dancer (5) overcame a very poor break to just get up in time last out and has improved greatly with the addition of lasix two starts back. Positively (6) adds blinkers today and seemed to appreciate the switch to grass last time out at Keeneland. Fire Guard (10) ran poorly last out but comes into today for top connections and can he dangerous if he gets a good trip. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 4-5-6-10
Race 11
The Longines Kentucky Oaks Unlimited Budget (4) has a perfect record coming into today's race and has been training very well since her arrival at Churchill Downs. She will look to sit just off what could be a quick pace. Close Hatches (11) has impressed in all of her career races and will have top rider Joel Rosario in the irons. Midnight Lucky (2) dominated rivals in the Sunland Oaks and posted a bullet over the Churchill track on April 22nd. Dreaming of Julia (8) was a runaway winner of the Gulfstream Oaks and will be tough to beat if she can run back to that effort. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 4-11-2-8
Race 12
Double Gelato (5) was sharp first out just missing at Gulfstream and runs for a trainer known to be better second time out. Delilahjane (3) broke poorly and was flying late at Fair Grounds and the seven furlong distance should be perfect. Greek Life (8) ran just behind her stable mate Delilahjane after being bumped at the break. Sky Girl (11) was bet down to the second choice in her debut and tired slightly in the stretch but has worked well at Churchill Downs. In Kelly's Defense (1) is a must use in the Super Hi-5. JILL'S SELECTIONS – 5-3-8-11-1

January 31, 2012 - Based on updated ozone air quality data submitted by the state of Illinois, EPA revises its responses to recommendations from Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin on area designations for the 2008 ozone air quality standards.
More Information
This web site provides information on the process EPA, the states, and the tribes follow to designate areas as "attainment" (meeting) or "nonattainment" (not meeting) the ground-level ozone standards established in 1997 and in 2008.
Breathing air containing ozone can reduce lung function and increase respiratory symptoms, thereby aggravating asthma or other respiratory conditions. Ozone exposure also has been associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory infections, medication use by asthmatics, doctor visits, and emergency department visits and hospital admissions for individuals with respiratory disease. Ozone exposure may contribute to premature death, especially in people with heart and lung disease. High ozone levels can also harm sensitive vegetation and forested ecosystems.
EPA will work with the states and tribes to share the responsibility of reducing ozone air pollution. Current and upcoming federal standards and safeguards, including pollution reduction rules for power plants, vehicles and fuels, will assure steady progress to reduce smog-forming pollution and will protect public health in communities across the country.
EPA strengthened the air quality standards for ground-level ozone in 2008. Learn more about the 2008 standards.
Area designations for the 1997 ground-level ozone standards became effective in 2004. Learn more about the area designations for the 1997 ground-level ozone standards.
This web site contains the following information:
Area Designations for the 2008 Ground-level Ozone Standards: The status of this effort is summarized here.
Area Designations for the 1997 Ground-level Ozone Standards: EPA issued these designations on April 15, 2004. They are summarized here.
Air Quality Forecast: Two-day air quality forecasts, including ozone, for dozens of cities. (Some include web cam shots of real-time conditions)
Basic Information: Background on ozone attainment issues and EPA actions to address ozone emission concerns.
Frequent Questions: Answers to common questions regarding ozone and the designations process.
Glossary: Explanations of the technical terms and acronyms used throughout the site.
Policy Guidance: Provides access to policy and guidance documents on ground-level ozone designations.
EPA has similar sets of web pages for fine particle (PM2.5) designations, nitrogen dioxide (NO2) designations, sulfur dioxide (SO2) designations, and lead (Pb) designations.

healthy carbs
So I have never had the body I wanted. Over the last year I have done p90x 2 rounds, Insanity 1 round and asylum 2 rounds. Now I'm at 6' 215lbs from 246. I have always had a lot of muscle but could never see it. I have made great strides with my dieting and now know I am carb sensitive. I would like to cut to around 10% body fat but I'm struggling with evening meals . With a busy schedule some times dinner is pasta. Now I need to do better an would like advice on some realty good brads or muffins. I would even take recipes or links to good sights.
Every one likes details do here goes. I'm 43 and have never been a bodybuilder but ever one I know who builds says I have the frame and base to look huge. I just need to cut. I have also had back surgery 2x for disk problems not a game stoper. I have lifted on aand of to years and I curious to see what I look like cut.
Muffins don't make the list if you are cutting. There are some good reads in the journal tab at the top of the page that help to understand how to cut while lifting. If you can compile a list of how you are eating now then people here can help you tweak it. I make my own pasta and i'll use wholemeal flour. Its good tucker for during the day coz its portable and easy.
Thank you
My typical day starts with my work out. Followed by 10 grain hot cereal and 1 egg or just 3 whole eggs with cheese @ 7am. At 9am I have a hand full of peanuts, Noon I'll have Tuna with mayo, turkey or eggs & a cup of cauliflower or other fresh vegetable. Around 3pm more nuts or a 10 grain muffin home made honey /whole wheat not the supermarket kind. Dinner chicken breast, broccoli, potato or carrots.
This has been for 2 weeks. Before I was eating crackers, whole wheat bread, pasta even pizza at times. I know it takes discipline but I may not be eating enough.
If you're trying to cut fat I would stick with either brown rice, oats,100% whole grain bread and/or baked sweet potatoes. They're full of the good complex carbs you want to eat. Try to limit the total amount of carbs per day and I would consume them around my workout times meaning before and after. Late in the day I would pretty much cut out the carbs because its not like you need them unless you workout late in the day. With the total amount of carbs you need to find out how many grams you are consuming daily then slowly adjust that number down. Your meal frequency looks good, but you may need to adjust it a little. Since you eat 5 times a day and weight 215, I would try to get in around 43grams of protein per meal to equal 215 grams per day totaled. If possible you should try to get some protein and carbs before you workout to give you energy to improve your workout and help with recovery. I would try to invest into some protein powder which would help you get in more protein per day. Before your workout you could consume a protein shake with oats blended in. For breakfast i would cut out the cheese and possibly add a protein shake or eat a few more eggs without the yolk to reach 43 grams of protein. The nuts are a good snack, you could also add some plain yogurt to increase your protein. At noon i would have either tuna or turkey with brown rice or a sweet potato and vegetables. Around 3 pm i would have some sort of meat and vegetables with brown rice or a sweet potato if your energy is dragging. At dinner chicken is a good choice baked and the veggies are good also, just ditch the potato because you don't need any carbs this late in the day if you're trying to cut. Vegetables are usually low in carbs, especially the ones you mentioned. For the oatmeal, brown rice, and sweet potato try to reduce the amount to say 30grams of carbs each time you eat one of the three. Also make sure the yogurt is low in carbs also. I would try that for a few weeks and see how you body responses, then lower the carb amount to 25 grams and so on. From my experience the lower amount of carbs i consume the lower my bodyfat drops, but my energy levels drop also. Of course you would still be exercising. I would try this and adjust the carbs until you have found the right range for you to lower your body fat and still have a good amount of energy. If you're shooting for 10 percent body fat you shouldn't have to drop to low with the carbs. I've been down to 4 percent body fat using the method i mentioned, of course I also do heavy resistance training and cardio also. Don't forget, the lower amount your carbs are the lower your energy levels will or may drop. Hope this helps...

I'll take your advice and make the adjustments. I have actually started to notice I'm leaning out in my arms and chest. I think I need to get a good set of measurements to help me track my progress. Using a scale to track progress is no good. I did read some of dieting articals and I think I'm getting a handle on things. Uping my will power and shopping better is the next step.
Its good to hear you're making improvements. One small step at a time is the way to go and just be consistent with your diet and switch up your routine every few weeks so your body doesn't grow accustomed to the workout. Measurements are a good way to track your progress. I would go with a good body tape measure and a body fat caliper.

I have noticed when I cut my carbs way down I get an ammonia smelling sweat from my workout. I have read about ketosis and there are many different views on it. From the stand point of maintaining my muscle am I looking at a bad sign ? Should I just ignore it or use it as a sign that I'm making progress ?

The last time I heard someone mention something like this was like ten years ago, when I was in the military. I remember a guy telling me about his body smelling like pure ammonia during a 25 mile ruck march with full gear on. From what I've read it happens when your on a low carbohydrate diet and your body is forced to break down protein and use it as its primary energy source. Basically ammonia is a waste product that comes from this process and is excreted through your skin. Well muscle is made up of protein and water, and since you said your day begins with your workout I would think that your body is breaking down muscle tissue to use it as a energy source because you don't eat any thing before your workout in addition to already being on a low carb diet.maybe a combination of the two. It makes since with a 25 mile ruck march to because with a full load of gear at that distance your muscles are going to be on fire, believe me, I've done plenty of ruck marches. Like I mentioned previously try to get a meal in before you workout with carbs and protein. Also drinking a intra-workout shake with ammino acids would help muscle tissue from breaking down. I would recommend Xtends which works really well for this. Its a intra-workout ammino acid supplement. And after your workout eat plenty of carbs and protein to replenish your energy and speed up recovery. Also drinking more water is suppose to help with the ammonia smell. At the minimum eat carbs and protein pre-workout and drink more water. If that doesnt work also add the ammino acid during your workout. And if that fails you may have to slightly increase your overall carb intake. Just try one step at a time until it resolves the ammonia smell. Hope this helps...

And yes I would definitely take that as a bad sign as far as maintaining muscle. I wouldn't ignore it either because its letting you know you're burning muscle as fuel.

Sounds like I'm on the right track. This morning I ate 1/2 banana and took the mega man vita pack. I think I'll try some Orange juice tomorrow. I have been carbing up after workouts and dropping throughout the day. I'll keep posting and looking for input.

We've walked you through building your own computer before. In this post—which we'll update periodically as prices and components change—we'll walk you through the hardware we'll need for three different system builds: a budget workstation, a powerful all-purpose PC, and an enthusiast's system for gamers and media professionals.
While some consider the desktop a dead platform, there are still plenty of us who use them as much as or in addition to laptops or tablets, love to play PC games, or just enjoy getting our hands dirty and building our own systems. Before we go any further, we should point out that these PC builds are designed to optimize your all-around computing experience, with some emphasis on PC gaming. The components that give you the best bang for your buck depend heavily on what you're planning to do with the system: Your parts will be different if you're building an HTPC on the same budget, or a super-speedy file server for your home network.
We've talked about our own experiences building a system, why it's important, and some awesome tips for first-timers already. If you're ready to set out on the task of building your own computer, here are the components you'll need to build the best system you can get for your money.
Update - September 2014: It's been a while since our last update, and since then AMD has solidified itself among budget PC builders, and the new generation of Intel-friendly motherboards—all ready for Broadwell (coming later this year or early 2015) have hit the market. Even so, not too many people are hyped about Broadwell, and component prices have come down in a few areas. The holidays are coming, so we're seeing a little spiking in some areas (likely to make room for discounts when holiday spending starts), but it's still an all-around good time to build a powerful PC without spending a ton of money. If you're in the mood to wait, hang in there—prices will likely only go down over the holidays, and these components won't be superseded before the end of the year.
As usual, we're using PCPartPicker to put together our builds. We love it, and think you should use it too—it gives you more flexibility in your part buying, helps you eliminate possibly incompatible components. Plus it makes sure you get he best prices for the items you plan to buy, even if it means you have to buy them from different retailers. If you have your own PCPartPicker builds you want to show off, make sure to link them up in the discussions below!
As always, keep in mind that prices change all the time, so if you're checking this and the prices have changed, just head back to PCPartPicker and see if you can find a better price.
Build Versus Buy
The old debate over whether you should build your own system or buy a pre-built one is an old, long-standing argument that will never be easily washed away. However, there are some benefits to building your own system that can't be weighed in terms of dollars and cents. You may be happier with your own hand-built system, or you may be able to score bargains and rebates that lead to a more powerful computer stuffed with higher quality components than a manufacturer would use.
Building your own PC also gives you complete and full control over that system's components and extendability. Unlike buying an OEM PC, assembling your own gives you the ability to make decisions about when and how you'll upgrade that system in the long run as opposed to simply taking what the manufacturer sells you. For example, you can buy into a new motherboard chipset early and wait to spend money on the next generation of graphics card later, giving yourself a timely upgrade when the moment-or your budget-is right.
Ultimately, while it may be easier to just pull out a credit card and buy whatever's on sale from your preferred OEM, there's something about assembling the components of a system that you've selected for your needs, powering it up, installing your favorite OS, and using it every day that's' incredibly rewarding. We've talked about this in more detail here, if you're curious.
Choosing The Right Parts
There was a time when building a PC was all about buying the most expensive and most powerful components you could on the budget you had. While some of that is still true, even budget components can be remarkably powerful, and if all you're planning on doing with your system is word processing, surfing the web, and some light entertainment like streaming video or listening to music, almost any system build will work for you.
You don't need to spend a grand on high-end gaming components if you're putting together a system for your friend who doesn't know or care what graphics card is going into the box. At the same time, that doesn't mean they're doomed to a computer full of sub-standard components. We've explained before that you should carefully assess your need before rushing off to start pricing out components, and that advice is still true today.
Ultimately, there's no reason for you to rush out and buy the most expensive components you can afford unless you're an enthusiast and want the most top-of-the-line system you can afford. Don't be fooled by brand names, either. Here we'll detail two separate builds, a high-end system for enthusiasts and power-hungry users, and a mid-range build that will cost about half as much but still pack a punch.
The $300 Budget System
The first few times we did this guide, a few people noted that $600 and $1200 were more than enough to spend on high-powered PCs, but a good machine at around or less than $400 would be a great project. Well, here you go—not only is it possible to come in under $400, we opted for $300, and the system we put together on that budget is no slouch.
The Parts
This parts list assumes that you'll need the basic components: a case, a motherboard, processor, memory, storage, graphics card of some type, power supply, and an optical drive. We're going to assume you have a perfectly good USB keyboard, mouse, and display you can repurpose for use with your new system. Before you blindly buy what we're about to suggest, take a moment and look at our Lifehacker Night School article on choosing PC components, where we discuss some of the things you should think about before buying your components. For example, our $300 PC here is made for economy and general use, not necessarily high-end gaming or video editing. Remember to consider what you'll use the system for before buying.
That said, here are the parts for our budget-friendly PC:
- The case: Rosewill FBM-01 MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case - It's compact, it's roomy enough to actually get your hands in there, and it's small enough to go on top of or underneath a desk without taking up too much space. It's not the sexiest case in the word, but it's lightweight, sports front-side USB 2.0 and audio ports, has dual fans for airflow, and is well reviewed and regarded. Plus, you really can't argue with the price tag. You could step up to a full-size tower if you want and spend some more money, maybe on a $40 NZXT Source 210 Elite (which we use later in this guide) if you have more to spend. For the money and the size though, this'll do just fine.
- The power supply: Corsair CX430 430W Power Supply - This build won't take a ton of horsepower. We used PCPartPicker's calculator to estimate the total wattage our final build would draw (~185W) and this 430W power supply will handle that, and it gives us room to add a graphics card or more power-hungry components down the line. It'll also fit in our mini tower nicely, and it has enough juice to power some upgrades if you ever want them. As always, just make sure you do the math on the wattage your system will likely pull down before you select a power supply, and try to buy from someone with good reviews and a solid track record of quality. If you're not using PCPartPicker, try the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator.
- The motherboard: MSI A78M-E35 - AMD A78 Chipset FM2+ MicroATX Motherboard - Yet again, our budget build is an AMD-based system, and just as well—at this price point, AMD offers incredible performance bang for the buck. This board will give you eight USB 2.0 ports, four USB 3.0 ports, six SATA III ports, gigabit Ethernet, supports up to 32GB of RAM, and 8-channel on-board audio. It packs on-board video-out (DVI, VGA, and HDMI), and since the AMD Trinity that we're about to slap into it is an APU, it'll handle graphics for us. It's a pretty powerhouse board for the money—it's worth noting that it does have onboard USB 3.0 headers, but the case we chose doesn't have frontside USB 3.0, just USB 2.0 ports.
- The CPU: AMD A8-5600K APU 3.6Ghz Processor Quad-Core CPU with Radeon HD 7560D GPU - Don't underestimate AMD's A-Series APUs. They can handle more than you might think, and they're a staple in our favorite HTPC builds. Because it's a combination CPU and GPU, this also means we don't need to add a stand-alone graphics card in our build. This A8 is a step up from the A6 we previously had in this build, and prices have dropped enough that we could give the brains of our budget build an upgrade. Plus, it has the equivalent of an AMD Radeon HD 7560D built right into it. It'll still handle everyday duties easily, and video at 1080p on a wide-screen display without blinking an eye. You can even fire up pretty much all of your favorite games on this thing, many at 1080p with great framerates, as long as you adjust your graphics settings appropriately. If you don't do any gaming at all though, the A8 gives you a speedy processor that can handle tasks like surfing the web, watching web video, listening to local or streaming music, and getting actual work done.
- The memory: Crucial Ballistix 4GB (1 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) - RAM prices are still higher than they used to be, but this is a pretty budget-friendly stick. We would normally consider going two-sticks for dual channel, but the nice thing about this stick is that you can just buy two and populate both RAM slots on the motherboard if you want 8GB, or stick with one for now and leave the other option for a later upgrade. The board can support up to 32GB, so if you want more RAM, you can always upgrade. If you have more to spend, replace this single stick with the more expensive 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin Memory Kit and get a solid 8GB in there. It would put us over our budget, but it's a worthy upgrade. That said, 4GB will be enough to get our budget PC up and running with enough RAM for just about anything it'll need to do.
- The storage: Western Digital 7200RPM 1TB Hard Drive - This $65 1TB model is speedy at 7200RPM, sports a 64MB cache, and is affordable enough that we decided to use it again in our $600 build below. If you have a different brand allegiance when it comes to drives, try this similar Seagate 1TB model. Whichever you choose, make sure you make note of the warranty, and, of course, keep your data backed up. Every hard drive fails, it's just a matter of when.
- The total: $297.92 ($322.92 before Discounts and Rebates)
- Buy this build from PCPartPicker
The $600 Powerhouse PC
Long gone are the days where you should immediately budget at least a grand for a decent self-built system. Unless you absolutely have to have a top of the line PC, this mid-range system will power through everyday tasks, handle PC gaming, streaming movies and music from the web, and even those bigger projects like ripping your music collection quickly or editing home movies easily.
The Parts
Again, we're going to assume you have a perfectly good USB keyboard, mouse, and display you can repurpose for use with your new system. Our $600 PC here is made with bang-for-the-buck in mind, something that will earn you high performance without breaking the bank—not necessarily silent operation (although there are ways to get a quieter budget PC if you want one) or tons of expansion bays. Remember to consider what you'll use the system for before buying. You may very well want to tweak some of the components we suggest below.
Here are the parts for our $600 powerhouse:
- The case: NZXT Source 210 Elite - The NZXT Source 210 Elite is a roomy mid-sized case that, thanks to its steel body, is both lightweight and should last you longer than just this build. It's large enough to accommodate large components, and roomy enough to move your hands around inside without too much of a squeeze. The case is loaded with grips to easily remove drive bays inside without a screwdriver, slots to route your cables through cleanly, extra fan grills for superior airflow and cooling, it's just a nicely designed case. You also get a pair of 120mm fans for your money, and front-side audio and USB 3.0 ports are a nice bonus in this budget case. Plus, our own Whitson Gordon swears by NZXT cases, both for their interior space and how easy it is to install and remove components from them.
- The power supply: Corsair Builder Series CX500M 500W Power Supply - Most PC builders, especially starting off, tend to completely overestimate how much power their components will actually need. This 500-watt power supply from Corsair should be enough for our components (which will draw around 400W, leaving room for more power draw under load), and Corsair is a trusted name. We opted to step up a bit from our old 430W PSU to give you a little extra leeway, and we had the budget to go modular, which is great and will keep your PC's innards nicely organized. Pay attention to warranties and return policies as well, but try to make sure you're getting the right amount of juice for the system you're building. If you have a few more dollars, step up to this 600W model for a few more bucks. There are some great calculators on the web that will help you determine how big your power supply should really be, like the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator.
- The CPU: AMD FX-6300 Six-Core 3.5GHz AM3+ Processor - We're flipping the script this time around and going with one of AMD's Vishera CPUs. We struggled with this decision a ton, as we usually do, but here's the clincher—if you're building a solid, multipurpose PC, the FX-6300 offers a solid multi-core system that performs well whether your goal for this build is PC gaming or general, more multipurpose use, which makes the system more applicable to people who could use the extra cores and may not necessarily be gaming. We honestly could have gone either way on this. This Intel Haswell Core i3-4330 is a bit more expensive, but offers more power per-core than the FX-6300, while the FX-6300 packs more cores. If you're a gamer, read up on the titles you play and see how they benchmark. We're not about to settle this debate here—frankly, if you want to go Intel, do it. It's a stellar buy and you won't regret it. This thread over at the buildapc subreddit and this thread at Tom's Hardware both run down the pros and cons of each, and there's plenty of opinion to go around. These benchmarks from AnandTech shows the FX-6300 offers some performance gains over the last i3 we had in this build, although the Haswell i3-4330 isn't included there for comparison. Choose what suits you best.
- The motherboard: MSI 970A-G43 ATX AM3+ Motherboard AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard - We thought it would be tough to find a more feature-rich, well-reviewed motherboard than the one in our last build, but this one offers great power management and a stellar feature list for the price. It packs 4 dual channel memory slots, six SATA III ports, six USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, 8-channel audio on-board, and gigabit Ethernet. There's no on-board video (but that's okay), but it does include overclocking features if you want to make use of that FX-6300's overclocking capabilities. We didn't design this build with overclocking in mind, but the door is open to you if you're interested. Best of all though, if you do decide to upgrade this system beyond its current capabilities, this motherboard will give you the room to add an SSD, more memory, a beefier graphics card, or whatever else you'd like. Want an alternative? A few more bucks more gets you the ASUS M5A97 R2.0, an equally feature-packed board. If you're going Intel, like we mentioned you could in the previous section, swap this out for the similarly-priced, similarly feature-packed ASRock Z97 PRO3.
- The memory: G.SKILL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 RAM - RAM prices are still higher than we would like to see, but it's about time our $600 build went 8GB—and we have the budget to make the move. This is a solid 8GB kit from one of our favorite memory manufacturers, it's fast, and it's affordable. Our board is dual-channel, so we want to make sure we take advantage of it. If you're feeling fancy, our board has four slots—you could double up and go 16GB. It would put us over our budget, but it's a worthy upgrade, and honestly the board can support up to 32GB total, so if you have more to spend, aim for the top.
- The storage: Western Digital 7200RPM 1TB Hard Drive - Hard drive prices have stabilized, and even come down a bit. If you catch a sale, you can do well enough to pick up an SSD for your mid-range system along with a standard spinning, high-capacity hard drive. This 1TB model is speedy at 7200RPM, sports a 64MB cache, and is affordable enough that we continue to rely on it for our primary storage. If you have a different brand allegiance when it comes to drives, try this similar Seagate 1TB model. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you make note of the warranty, and, of course, keep your data backed up. Every hard drive fails, it's just a matter of when.
- The graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB Video Card/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 3GB - Either of these cards will be more than enough to power 1080p gaming without much hassle. The R9 280 is one of this generation's best bang-for-the-buck graphics cards, and the GTX 760 is a killer card that's on par with it. Either one is a great pick, and if your favorite titles are any of this generation's (or any generation's) graphically challenging games, you'll be able to turn up the settings good and high and keep those great frame rates that make it fun to play. If gaming isn't your goal at all, and instead you prefer watching HD video on large displays, you won't have a problem here either, and in fact, this may be overkill and you can step down a bit to a more affordable card.

If you want more options…
You can build a seriously powerful system for $600. That doesn't mean there isn't room to improve it, or cut it down a bit if it's too much. You could get below $500 by swapping in a cheaper processor (like the AMD Athlon X4 760K, for example.) If you really need to save some money, and you're not a gamer at all, pull out that pricey video card and slap in a mid-tier card like the AMD Radeon R7 250 or the R7 250X - both great bang-for-the-buck budget cards that can power multiple monitors, play HD video, and if you do choose to do some PC gaming, it'll handle graphically challenging games on medium settings.
One thing we mentioned earlier; you could also go Intel with this build. That probably won't exactly save you money, although depending on what you're willing to trade off and where, you could get price parity. This thread over at Reddit's buildapc subreddit caught our eye for some Intel-based options, although we'd be a little wary of stepping back to an i3, or going with less reputable RAM or a smaller PSU just to cram an i5 into the build. Still, it's a good starting point for Intel build options if you're looking for them.
If you have a few more dollars to spend, the first thing we'd suggest you do is add an SSD into the system in addition the 1TB Western Digital already in the build. SSDs don't have to be pricey; this Samsung 840 Pro 256GB is around $170, and is one of the best, fastest, SSDs you can buy right now. The Wirecutter has some thoughts on the best SSDs, and they suggest this Crucial MX100 512GB for tons of space without breaking the bank.
The $1200 Enthusiast's PC
Now that we've covered two systems that can be purchased and assembled on a decent budgets, now it's time to have some fun. We're not targeting our upper limit here, we just want to give you an idea of some of the high-end components that would make a good enthusiast's build. If you're a fan of PC gaming, have to play the latest releases as soon as they're out, have multiple huge, high-resolution displays, or just want the beefiest box you can afford, this build is for you.
The Parts
As with the $600 PC above, we're going to assume you have the basics, like a keyboard, mouse, and display. In this case though, we're going for the big, pretty, and powerful, as opposed to trying to keep the budget down. We won't necessarily aim directly for our high-end, but we will slap in some pricier components that we know would make a noticeable difference in your computing experience if you had them in your system.
Again, remember to consider your use case before buying – the people who'll really love this build will be PC gamers, media professionals, and enthusiasts who want to futureproof themselves or just prefer the top of the line.
Here are the parts for our enthusiast's PC:
- The case: Corsair Carbide Series 500R - We'll miss our old Carbide 300R, but this time we decided on a little upgrade. The Carbide 500R is well loved, well reviewed, and will contain as much possible power as we can cram into it with the rest of our budget. The Carbide 500R is sleek black, lightweight steel and plastic, with more than enough expansion bays and slots on the rear to accommodate everything we want to put into it and more. It has great airflow to keep your components cool, and a front-side I/O panel for power, USB 3.0, and audio. It's large enough to fit aftermarket cooling or long graphics cards. Warning though: there are some very pretty cases on the market – buy one that has the features and look that you want. You could try this Fractal Design Arc Midi sleek, steel case for the same price, or step back to the trusty Cooler Master HAF 912 for great airflow without a ton of money. Want more options? We did a Hive Five on desktop computer cases a while back (although most were a bit more expensive, like the winner: Cooler Master HAF X), another Hive Five on small form-factor cases, or alternatively you could spend nothing and repurpose an old case from a previous build.
- The power supply: CORSAIR CX600M 600W High Performance Modular Power Supply - Speaking of Corsair, the company makes good power supplies, and 600 watts of juice should be enough to power the rest of this build (which comes in around 450W, leaving room for more draw at load). This power supply is also modular, which was a pleasant surprise at the price, so you only use the cables you actually need for your components. It's quiet and offers great, steady power at a solid price. There are more expensive power supplies out there, but this one gets the job done without being overkill. Plus, if you decide to swap out any of the components here for higher-end ones, you can do so without worrying this PSU won't be able to handle it.
- The CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor - Intel's Core processors still lead the market in power and performance. After all, this is one notch up from the same processor that CustomPCReview put in their most recent $1200 gaming rig, and our friends at Logical Increments think this—not the i7—is the best processor for high-end performance without spending all the money in your budget just on a processor. We think it'll handle whatever you throw at it pretty handily, whether your PC is going to be a gaming machine, a workhorse, or a video-editing or multimedia powerhouse. We spent the extra few bucks to get the unlocked version (and a complimentary motherboard below), so if you're interested in overclocking, this is a great setup to try it with. If you need the hyper-threading that the i7 offers and you have the money for it, the Intel Core i7-4790K is your next natural step up - it'll cost you an extra hundred roughly, but we know some of you out there need the horsepower, especially if you're doing 3D effects, video conversion or high-end video editing, or anything else that can make use of the hyperthreading that comes with the i7.
- The motherboard: MSI Z97-G55 SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard - A good, all around motherboard with high end features to match its modest price. It's one of the new Z97 motherboards that'll support Broadwell if you're interested in an upgrade next year, but we're skeptical you'll want to. Either way, you get all the features you would expect from a board of this class, including dual channel RAM slots and support for up to 32GB, six USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports just on the back, with connectors on-board for four more (along with six more USB 2.0 ports) six 6Gb/s SATA III ports, 8-channel audio, gigabit Ethernet, and more ports on the back than you'll probably actually need, including DVI-D and HDMI. The board also supports SLI and Crossfire if you want to step up your graphics power, and it's generally well reviewed. If you're no MSI fan, you could always step over to the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H LGA 1150 Intel Z97, which is a little more expensive, but also overclocker friendly, and has slightly better audio.
- The memory: Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) Ballistix Elite Series 240-Pin DIMM DDR3-1600 RAM Kit - An enthusiast's PC just wouldn't be right without a full 8GB of RAM in it (if not more). If we had the budget to cram more in here, we'd consider it, but 8GB is your natural starting point (and RAM prices just aren't what they used to be, frankly). This Crucial 8GB kit is a solid buy, and it's good and speedy (although we'll be the first to tell you more RAM is more important than faster RAM.) If you want to skimp a little bit, the G.SKILL kit we used in the $600 build is a perfect fit and a bit less. If you have the budget to go wild, you could just load up the board and call it a day.
- The storage: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB 2.5" SSD + Western Digital WD Black 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive - At this point, we probably don't need to convince you that a Solid State Drive (SSD) is one of the best upgrades you can buy for your computer, especially as your boot drive and for your most used applications. This Samsung was built to be a speedy, high-capacity, affordable drive, and hits all of those points. It's a top-tier drive, and if you don't believe us, just read AnandTech's detailed review. If you don't need the speed, step down to the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB and save some cash, or the Crucial MX100 256GB for even less. Want more space? The Wirecutter recommends the Crucial MX100 512GB for about $200, which is ridiculous space and speed for the money. Of course, if you're using an SSD as your boot drive, you'll need a nice, speedy standard drive for the rest of your files and any applications that don't need to be on your SSD, and this WD Caviar Black is a bit of a splurge, but it's made for performance.
- The graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card - We're sticking with our pickes for these enthusiast, solid value cards. They're pricey, make no mistake, but they're both still the "best performance for the value" for those folks willing to drop a few hundreds on a graphics card. Anandtech's latest GPU Benchmark tests put these guys smack in the bang-for-the-buck category, with respectable benchmarks (even though it's not totally fair to compare these two directly except for price—the 4GB version of the GTX 770 may be a better comparison, but it's significantly more than the 280X, and we get into AMD and NVIDIA leapfrogging each other at that point). If you're a PC gamer and you love turning up all of the settings on your games, pick your brand allegiance (or better yet, check how each of these two cards performs when benchmarked in your favorite games) and go with one of these. They'll get you great framerates at 1080p, and even if you're gaming at 1440p or powering multiple displays, you shouldn't have a problem at all. Yes, yes, NVIDIA just unveiled the GTX 970 and 980, and they look to be the newest best fast, super-awesome cards that enthusiasts will drool over...when they're actually available in-channel. They're still new, and more expensive, so we can't justify including them just yet. When we see availability, benchmarks in real-world situations, and in specific titles, we'll take another look, but we don't want to recommend new hardware just because it's new and shiny. Plus, there's nothing on the block to play on those new cards that won't play just as well on these more affordable ones (which will get even more affordable thanks to those new cards and the holiday shopping season), unless you're going up to 4K. If you're stepping up to a 4k display for anything but work (full-screen video and gaming will probably challenge these GPUs at that resolution), we have a separate guide for you.
- The total: $1142.11 ($1182.11 before Discounts and Rebates)

If you want more options…
Sometimes building an enthusiast's PC is more difficult than building a budget one because you have room in the budget to buy high-end components, but you don't want to go overboard or make decisions that waste your money. We hope this sub $1200 build walks the line between spending good money on components that matter without spending too much on the ones that don't.
If this is too much though, some of the biggest money sinks here are clearly the video card and the processor. While you could bump down a more affordable motherboard and save about $30, the real savings is in choosing a less powerful and high-end video card, especially since you can upgrade a video card more easily than a processor. Consider the AMD Radeon R9 280 we used in the $600 build, or step back even further to the R9 270. If you're an NVIDIA fan, consider the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760, or the GTX 660 on for size. All three will play the latest titles on high settings without trouble, and with solid framerates.
Finally, we mentioned it in the hard drive section above, but we were really close to packing in that 512GB Crucial MX100 SSD in this build. Technically, we had the budget for it, but 512GB is probably overkill for most people in a new build—but if you like the idea, by all means, be our guest!
A Note About Your Operating System
You're undoubtedly noticing that we haven't included the cost of an OS license in this roundup. The reason for that is because we don't want to assume what operating system you'll install on your build, and frankly, there are so many ways to get a good OS these days on the cheap (office licenses, student discounts, OEM licenses, sales, etc) that there's no reason to include stock prices. If you want to go Linux, then your cost is nothing. If you'd rather install Microsoft Windows, you'll probably want a license for Windows 8.1 ( unless you plan to downgrade.)
Newegg has OEM versions of Windows 8.1 64-bit for $99.99, which is likely what most of you would buy Enthusiasts can grab the $139 Windows 8.1 Pro x64 if needed, but odds are you won't need the added features (although Bitlocker is a useful tool.)
If you want a different version, a download code to download your own ISO or install media, or want to score a copy of Windows 7 instead of Windows 8, Newegg has plenty of options for you as well, as does Amazon, in some cases with great prices on old versions of Windows 7. At the same time, you can probably score an even cheaper copy with an educational discount if you have one, or through an employee purchase program if your workplace has a enterprise licensing agreement with Microsoft. Finally, since we didn't include optical drives with these builds, here's how to create Windows install media on bootable USB.
Additional Reading
Don't take our word for these builds. We're sure you have your own opinions on what should have made it in and what should have been excluded.
One reference that is constantly updated and invaluable for determining exactly how enthusiast you're being when it comes to the components you're buying and how much you should be spending on them is the Logical Increments PC Buying Guide. We used it as a reference extensively here, and the site is super user friendly and regularly updated with new pricing. It's a big help, and can serve as a good sanity check if your build is getting out of hand.
Also, make sure to read up on your most critical components before you buy. Anandtech's 2014 GPU benchmarks, Tom's Hardware's 2014 GPU benchmarks, and the Tom's Hardware forums are invaluable when looking for benchmarks and opinions on some of the components you may buy before you add them to your cart. The BuildaPC subreddit is also a great place to ask for opinions and guidance if you're having issues or just want the thoughts of people who have been where you are now.
We'll come back to this system builder's guide periodically to make sure it's updated with the best components for each of our builds. Remember though, take our builds as guidelines for your own research and your own PC-building project. If you have a superior build or noticed an error above, let us know in the discussions below.

Tuesday, July 9, 2013
CASTRIES, St. Lucia | Fast-moving Tropical Storm Chantal raced toward the small islands of the Lesser Antilles on Tuesday, with residents of St. Lucia shuttering schools and preparing to close the island's two airports as it neared.
The storm was centered about 45 miles (70 kilometers) north-northwest of Barbados around 8 a.m. EDT Tuesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The storm had maximum sustained winds near 50 mph (85 kph), and was moving west-northwest at 26 mph (43 kph).
Chantal was expected to move over the small islands on the eastern rim of the Caribbean early Tuesday and be near the Dominican Republic on Wednesday, according to the Hurricane Center.
Chantal could be near hurricane strength before it reaches Hispaniola, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Both countries are very vulnerable to flooding and landslides from storms, but widespread deforestation and ramshackle housing in Haiti mean even moderate rains pose a significant threat.
U.S. forecasters expect that wind shear and interaction with the mountains of Hispaniola and Cuba will cause Chantal to start weakening in about three days and it is expected to be a tropical depression Friday while over the Bahamas.
In St. Lucia's capital of Castries, supermarkets stayed open late Monday as islanders stocked up on emergency supplies including water and batteries.
The government was taking no chances earlier in the day, ordering a midday closure of all schools until Wednesday. The director of the local meteorological office warned that parts of the island could potentially be affected by landslides and flooding.
In a national address Monday evening, Prime Minister Kenny Anthony urged people to hunker down at home until the tropical storm had passed.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for St. Lucia, Barbados, Dominica, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and the southern coast of the Dominican Republic from Cabo Engano to the border with Haiti.
A tropical storm watch is in effect for Haiti, the Turks and Caicos, the southeastern Bahamas, St. Vincent, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Vieques and Culebra, and the northern coast of the Dominican Republic from west of Cabo Frances Viejo to its border with Haiti.
In Barbados, officials urged people to stay tuned to radio stations and prepare for the rapid approach of Chantal, the Atlantic hurricane season's third named storm.
"This is hurricane season so we urge Barbadians to be prepared," said Kerry Hinds, deputy director of the island's emergency management department.
In Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the U.S. Coast Guard urged all waterfront facilities to remove unsecured debris, hazardous material and pollutants from dockside areas. Pleasure craft operators were advised to seek safe harbor and secure their vessels.
The storm was expected to produce rain and strong winds in Puerto Rico, with gusts of up to 60 mph (96 kph) in southern and mountainous areas, according to Roberto Garcia, director of the National Weather Service on the island of less than 4 million inhabitants. Chantal was expected to pass more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Puerto Rico early Wednesday.

I have opinions, but not very firm beliefs, because it seems everything I learned in life has been uprooted within the last few years, so it seems rather ridiculous to get all dogmatic now... :D Things I mocked in the past have come back to make me a fool! Who is to say it will not happen again? So, for the sake of not putting my foot in my mouth, I am far more reserved before I declare anything as certain, beyond a reasonable doubt.

What Do Dead Plants Tell Us About Earthquakes?
Why do earthquakes occur? Key to understanding this is knowing the strength of faults. Strong faults can sustain large stresses; weak ones fail under much lower stresses. Because we cannot directly observe faults during earthquakes, we evaluate their strength after the fact by measuring how hot surrounding rocks became as they slid past one another (like rubbing your hands together). Such heating 'cooks' the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants in the fault rock, which we can measure to get a snapshot of the heating that occurred during an earthquake.

Landscapes Beneath Our Feet
Mountains the size of the Himalayas once dominated the horizon west of the Hudson River. A massive lake rimmed with volcanoes and steaming vents once stretched from Lancaster, PA to New Haven, CT. What we know as the Jersey shore was once in Philadelphia. The remains of these extraordinary ancient landscapes lie beneath our feet, and have been the focus of much research. Studies of this region have profoundly influenced our understanding of fundamental natural processes occurring throughout the world. From building mountains to rifting continents and forming oceans, we'll examine some of this globally-relevant evidence—much of it gathered within a day's drive of the Observatory.
