Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Alan Branch has been arrested for drunken driving in western New York.
State police say Branch was arrested at about 2 a.m. Saturday in the town of Cheektowaga after officers noticed Branch vomiting out the driver's side door of his vehicle.
Police say Branch failed a field sobriety test and had a blood-alcohol content of .14 percent. The legal limit is .08 percent. He was charged with driving while intoxicated and released. He's due back in court on Aug. 29. It wasn't clear if he had a lawyer.
Branch did not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Buccaneers.
In June, Bills defensive lineman Marcell Dareus was charged with drag racing and reckless endangerment after police say the 24-year-old crashed his Jaguar into a tree.

Ah yes, the drunken outburst on a plane. In Hollywood, it's a sure way to land a ticket to (or in Jonathan Rhys-Meyers' case back to) rehab. Rhys-Meyers' recent outburst was not just an alcohol-fueled diva parade, rather it was an alcohol-fueled racist tirade, and it sounds like his people have stepped in and have gently suggested he clean himself up to prevent this from happening again.
A source told People "This has been an ongoing battle for him," and he will enter rehab in London again soon. This will be his second attempt at getting clean, the actor first entered rehab in 2007, but has since been involved in several boozy airport incidents. So is this guy a drunk, or just a nervous traveler? Maybe he should just get a scrip for Xanax when he flies, seems like that would help.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, May 2, 2003 So far, the mysterious respiratory illness that's killed almost 400 people worldwide has had a negligible effect on the U.S. military, DoD's top civilian health official said April 29.
Dr. William Winkenwerder Jr., assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, characterized the severe acute respiratory syndrome's impact on DoD health care beneficiaries as "almost nil." He cited just one possible case involving a retiree at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
"I don't want to give a great deal of credence to this report yet, because it's still being evaluated," Winkenwerder cautioned reporters during his meeting with them at the Pentagon.
The individual who has recovered had reportedly traveled to Asia, Winkenwerder pointed out, where most SARS cases have been reported. He added that to the best of his knowledge, no one in close contact with that individual came down with the disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, SARS begins with a fever greater than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. The fever is sometimes associated with chills or other symptoms, including headache, general feeling of discomfort and body aches. Some people diagnosed with SARS may experience mild respiratory problems, the CDC said, noting that after two to seven days, some patients may develop a dry cough and have trouble breathing.
The CDC also reports that SARS appears to spread by close person-to- person contact, such as when an infected person sneezes on or near another, uninfected person.
Medical researchers believe that the corona virus causes SARS, Winkenwerder remarked.
"That is the same family of viruses that causes the common cold," he pointed out, adding there is a diagnostic test being developed to detect the disease.
SARS is "a disease about which we're still learning" more about every day, Winkenwerder emphasized, noting that DoD is working closely with CDC and the World Health Organization.
According to CDC documents, as of April 28, there are 52 reported probable cases of SARS within the United States, including two in Hawaii. Thus far, there have been no deaths in the U.S. attributed to SARS.
As of April 30, according to WHO, the total number of SARS cases reported worldwide was 5,663, a number that includes 372 deaths.
CDC Director Dr. Julie L. Gerberding noted at an April 24 briefing that the SARS "is an atypical pneumonia" with a death rate "running between 5.9 and 6 percent." She praised the "incredible" collaboration between her organization and WHO.
DoD has "people who are in daily contact with the experts around the world on this disease," Winkenwerder pointed out, noting senior DoD leaders are receiving daily reports on the SARS situation.
DoD's Global Emerging Infection Surveillance organization has been actively searching for possible SARS cases, Winkenwerder noted.
Also, he continued, researchers at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md., are currently involved in testing anti-viral agents that might be effective against SARS.
DoD is endeavoring "to be as supportive as we can to the U.S. civilian health authorities and others around the world," Winkenwerder asserted. He added that DoD has issued health affairs guidance about SARS to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and military commanders worldwide. That guidance, he added, is slated for updates.
The Defense Department recently directed that its military and civilian personnel make only mission-essential trips to China and Hong Kong.
SARS was first diagnosed in rural China last November and then spread to Hong Kong. More than 25 countries have reported cases.

What are kidney stones?
Kidney stones are small pieces of hard, crystallized material that form in the kidney. Kidney stones are often made up of calcium, but can also contain uric acid or amino acids (proteins). Kidney stones, also called urolithiasis, are a common condition.
One or more kidney stones can form in one or both kidneys. Kidney stones begin as tiny specks and may gradually increase in size. A person with a small kidney stone may not have symptoms and may be unaware of the condition. In some cases, small stones in the urine may pass out of the kidney and move down the ureter, into the bladder, and out of the body without causing pain or serious problems.
There are generally no symptoms of a large kidney stone that remains in the kidney. However, when a large kidney stone moves out of the kidney into the ureter toward the bladder, it causes severe flank, abdominal, and groin pain, called renal colic. Some have described renal colic as the most intense painful experience encountered in life. Other symptoms of a large kidney stone that has moved out of the kidney include blood in the urine, difficulty urinating, and nausea, with or without vomiting.
Kidney stones may be prevented in some cases by ensuring good hydration and with prescribed medication if you are in a high-risk population, such as those with a personal history of kidney stones. Once a stone has developed and causes symptoms, treatment may include hospitalization, pain medication, and certain procedures that remove or crush large stones so that the stone can move more easily out of the body. Small kidney stones may not require treatment.
Most kidney stones pass out of the body in the urine. On occasion, a kidney stone can get stuck in a ureter and result in potentially serious, even life-threatening complications, such as kidney infection and kidney damage. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have symptoms of passing a kidney stone, such as severe flank or abdominal pain, not urinating, or bloody urine. Rapid diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of complications.
What are the symptoms of kidney stones?
Small kidney stones or kidney stones that do not move and remain in the kidney may not produce any symptoms. A small kidney stone may pass in the urine out of the body without causing pain or visible blood in the urine.
When a large kidney stone moves out of the kidney and into the ureter, it generally causes severe, sharp and stabbing pain in the flank area of the lower back. Thi... Read more about kidney stonessymptoms

Broad immigration bill cruising to Senate passageBy DAVID ESPO
and ERICA WERNER
The Associated Press | June 27,2013WASHINGTON Far-reaching immigration legislation cruised toward passage in the Senate as House Republicans pushed ahead Wednesday on a different approach that cracks down on millions living in the United States illegally rather than offering them a chance at citizenship.
Presidential politics took a more prominent role in a long-running national debate as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., tried to reassure conservatives that many of the criticisms of the bill, which he helped write, are just not true.
The potential 2016 White House contender said in remarks on the Senate floor it has been difficult for him to hear the worry and the anxiety and the growing anger in the voices of so many people who helped me get elected to the Senate and who I agree with on virtually every other issue.
The political impact of the issue aside, there was no doubt that the Senate bill was on track for passage by Thursday or Friday.
Supporters posted 67 votes or more on each of three procedural tests Wednesday, far more than the 60 needed to prevail. More than a dozen Republicans sided with Democrats on each, assuring bipartisan support that the bills backers hope will change minds in the House.
At its core, the legislation includes numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigration, while at the same time it offers a chance at citizenship for millions living in the country illegally.
It provides for 20,000 new Border Patrol agents, requires the completion of 700 miles of fencing and requires an array of high-tech devices be deployed to secure the border with Mexico.
Businesses would be required to check on the legal status of prospective employees.
The government would be ordered to install a high-tech system to check on the comings and goings of foreigners at selected international airport in the United States.
Other provisions would expand the number of visas for highly skilled workers relied upon by the technology industry. A separate program would be established for lower-skilled workers, and farm workers would be admitted under a temporary program.
Some farm workers who are in the country illegally can qualify for a green card, which bestows permanent residency status, in five years.
Many of the bills supporters also cheered a ruling from the Supreme Court that said married gay couples are entitled to the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples. The decision would allow gay married citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their foreign-born spouses for U.S. residency, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano pledged to implement it.
The basic legislation was drafted by four Democrats and four Republicans who met privately for months to produce a rare bipartisan compromise in a polarized Senate. They fended off unwanted changes in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and then were involved in negotiations with Republican Sens. John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee on a package of tougher border security provisions that swelled support among Republicans.
Across the Capitol, an attempt at a bipartisan deal faltered, and majority Republicans began moving ahead on legislation tailored to the wishes of conservatives and vehemently opposed by Democrats.
The House Judiciary Committee already has approved two measures and was at work on a third during the day as it followed a piecemeal path rather than the all-in-one approach of the Senate.
The House bill under consideration Wednesday would require businesses to check on the legal status of employees within two years, as compared with four in the Senate measure.
One of the bills approved earlier makes it a new crime to remain in the country without legal status. It also allows state and local governments to enforce federal immigration laws, an attempt to apprehend more immigrants living in the United States illegally. It encourages those living in the United States unlawfully to depart voluntarily.
The second bill that cleared last week deals with farm workers who come to the United States temporarily with government permission. Unlike the Senate legislation, it offers no pathway to citizenship.
With attention beginning to shift to the House, Rep. John Fleming, R-La., said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, had assured the rank and file they will vote on bills being written on their side of the Capitol. We are not going to take up the Senate bill, Fleming said, quoting the speaker.
Internal divisions among Republicans, combined with overwhelming opposition among Democrats, recently sent a farm bill down to defeat in the House, and it is unclear if the GOP will be able to command a majority for its own approach to immigration legislation.
At the same time, rules generally guarantee Democrats a chance to have the full House vote on its own alternatives, and it is unclear whether they might seek the vote on the Senate bill that Republicans hope to avoid.
For now, supporters of the Senate bill contented themselves with urging the House to change their minds.
A permanent, common-sense solution to our dysfunctional system is really in sight, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. It is my hope that our colleagues in the House will follow the Senates lead and work to pass bipartisan reform and do it now.
Outnumbered critics said the measure fell far short of the claims made by its backers.
It continues to promote false promises that the border would be truly secure, said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa.
A short while later, Rubio, without mentioning anyone by name, stood at his desk to slam opponents of the Senate bill for what he said are false accusations.
He said it is not true, for example, that the administration can ignore the requirements for border protection or that future Congress can cancel funding or that it creates a taxpayer subsidy for people to buy a car or a scooter.
Nor are critics correct to claim a new 1,100-page bill was recently introduced that no one has read, he said.
This is the exact same bill thats been publicly available for 10 weeks, he said, with the exception of about 120 pages that require tougher border security.MORE IN Wire NewsJEFFERSON CITY, Mo.

Compiz Is Likely To Get The Boot From Fedora 17
new posts
And if you all are really that upset you could just volunteer to maintain it yourself...
Originally posted by schmidtbag View Posti haven't tried compiz in maybe a little over 2 years, but it seemed pretty stable to me back then and had a lot of features. i'm sure within that time, it has been improved. is fedora seriously just ditching it because nobody is maintaining it anymore? because maybe theres just nothing to maintain. so for example suppose the linux kernel's development slows down to almost a complete halt for months. are they going to remove it? unless compiz is proving to be a problem, removing something because its orphaned is an incredibly stupid motive.
One of the advantages to Fedora versus Ubuntu/Debian/Suse/etc etc... is that it's really easy to get involved.
It's designed as a play ground for Linux folks. This is why it is the first to pick up on things like SystemD and is willing to make fairly drastic changes to it's infrastructure.
While it's a testbed for Redhat developers, it still can be largely controlled by anybody who is willing to put the work into it.
At the moment, Compiz is dead upstream. Bugs are not getting fixed and stability is not great. The lead developer (only developer that's left now?) blogged "I have failed":
Maintaining compiz in a distro is a lot of work because of that. Dropping it seems the obvious choice.
Ironically, compiz still seems to be more useful, more stable and more lightweight than kdewin or gnomewin. And apparently many people feel that way; IIRC in the last phorinx survey there were still more compiz users than kde users or gnome users.
The ... oh WTH, lets call it 'develpment model' of compiz has of course a loooong history of being inconsistent to put it mildly.
Ubuntu is also trying to remove CCSM (compiz config settings manager) from Ubuntu, although of course they have to keep around compiz itself. Seems like all the distros are stripping away parts or all of compiz. Sad, but true. It used to be THE awesomest compositor, it was one of the first. But it seems to be quickly outdated by superior offerings such as kwin (nice job Martin Grasslin), and mutter (nice job GNOME folks).
Also, MATE desktop won't last long. Cinnamon is everything that I wanted from Gnome2, but uses mutter afaik. Too awesome.
Ironically, compiz still seems to be more useful, more stable and more lightweight than kdewin or gnomewin
But it sucks as a window manager IMHO. It's the worst wm I've ever used, and I've used most. I need a window manager, not effects. KWin effects are actually more than enough for me and seem more professional and less in-your-face, but it's window management that makes the difference for me. When I switched back to KWin, all the minor annoyances with Compiz went away and using the computer was fun again -- the windows were doing what they should.
IMHO, Compiz never grew out of the "shiny bling" phase and focussed on window management. Perhaps it has made strides in the last few years, though, I haven't followed it closely.

Originally posted by kokoko3k View PostAs far as i know even gentoo people dropped compiz ebuild from portage, too bad.
I'm currenctly using it alongside kde4.8 because it is still MUCH faster than kwin, expecially when it comes to firefox smooth scroll.
Hoping archlinux will continue to provide binaries...
I have to admit that I also stopped using Compiz since I switched over to KDE 4. But, back in the KDE 3.5 days, I was really hooked on Compiz, playing around with it, trying to find the perfect balance between subtlety and in your face bling. Even though I don't use it anymore, it still feels like it would be the end of an era if Compiz was to die.
In my mind, Compiz will always be the original "Composited Desktop". They guys who opened our eyes to the possibilities...

The New York Knicks were (shockingly) up by two points 94-92 on the Milwaukee Bucks with less than 20 seconds remaining in overtime Wednesday night. Carmelo Anthony missed a shot as the shot clock was winding…Read More

Garlic, extra garlic, pizza
@Adam Kuban, yes from what I understand it is a triple order of garlic.
@Garvey Thanks!
@Adam Kuban, yes from what I understand it is a triple order of garlic.
@Garvey Thanks!
@Letley Thank You! Thank you so much!
Thanks all! For my husband and I this will be our 9th trip to the UK (as well as a short stint spent living in Scotland for me many moons ago) and we've done most of the stuff there is to do in London.
Thanks @twoflower, I think the point that we won't be back for ages kind of decides it for us. I've always been curious about going....
@ermintrude75, we are staying in Kent so I will look into the other things you suggested, thanks!
@wildbluehugh oh yes that stuff flies in Eastern Europe. I live in Hungary and last Easter (my first one here) I was happily piling cute Easter bunnies for 90 forints - about 45 cents US - into my basket for my kids. I was under the assumption that every product is better in Europe, which I gained whilst living abroad in other western European countries.
Unbeknownst to me I had discovered chocomass (or csokimass, or whatever it is called in Hungarian) which is vegetable fat and cocoa powder and a small amount of sugar. So gross. Even my kid who was 2 yo at the time and eats crayons would not eat it.
As for paprika pringles @happyscrappy, we have them in spades here. Not just pringles, but all sorts of brands have paprika flavoured snacks. I have not been able to develop a taste for them and instead buy salt and vinegar crisps from the local UK Products store.
Thanks all! I will use sea salt and err on the side of 5 oz for prudence.
And yes, I do have a kitchen scale that I bought at Ikea. We don't shop on Amazon or anything of the like because we do not want to pay the huge shipping fees and the duties. I miss how cheap things were in the US!
I live in Budapest and I'd like to throw out a recommendation for our fair city for your honeymoon. It has good beer, good food and is quite pretty. Cost effective too. Though Prague is beer central if that is what you are looking for. There is even a hotel in a brewery there.
Feb 18th, but will there be anyone in Budapest wanting to meet up?
@thesteveroller thanks for the tip about Mongolian Cafe! We've heard it was good and it is very, very close to our flat. We have two little ones though and don't get out to restaurants very often (and when we do we tend to head to Pest and go to a fav ruin pub after we eat out).
I'm not sure if the chinese black market place is near the train station anymore. My husband said it was by Esceri (the flea market) so it is prob the same place you were talking about.
@BitchinFixins we're hoping to go to Lake Bled next summer so I'll remember to keep my eye out for Chimichongas! Thanks!
Oh @BitchinFixins and @thesteveroller, you made me lol.
I live in Budapest, Hungary right now. I am an expat and my husband and I are always searching in vain for some good Mexican food. There is a new taco stand type place near us that served up a somewhat decent fish taco. We were surprised.
I love to cook Mexican too and have found that really hard. Corn tortillas are impossible to get though one expat I know makes them and sells them.
Chinese food is abismal here. Food is presented in trays cold at a buffet and microwaved for you when ordered and they do not make dumplings! We've heard rumors of a place out in the sticks/bad neighborhood that has a Chinese blackmarket mall that has delicious food, though we heard it was raided, so we are not sure it is still there.
This post is torture for me.
In my past life I lived on lobster rolls from May until September (with the occasional one in December). We were lucky enough to have family with a home in Rhode Island that they gave us a key to and we'd travel up there every opportunity we got.
Now I am in Budapest and nary a lobster in sight, so I can't even make my own lobster roll. Sigh...
These look pretty awesome.... though I doubt there is a chance in hell I'll find any fresh masa in Budapest (where we live).
I am thinking that I could easily bastardize the Hungarian langos with some taco toppings though. Langos is serious fried bread and my inlaws who were just visiting kept saying how much it reminded them of Navajo fry bread.
Isn't it
orange = NDP
red= Liberal
blue= conservative
green= Green Party
???= Bloc Quebecois (not that it matters anymore)
Another chili recipe. This one (if you omit the cheese and sour cream when serving) is also vegan. My sister-in-law used to be vegan and I first cooked this for her, but we have found it so delicious that we have it often and it is my basic go-to chili recipe.
Barber's Best Chili
1-1/2 Cups (375ml) - Chopped onion
2 - Green Peppers, seeded, chopped
3 - Celery Stalks, chopped
4 - Cloves (not bulbs) of garlic, minced
2 - Tbsp. (30ml) Oil
2 - 28oz (2 - 796 ml) Cans Tomatoes
1 - 14oz (398ml) Kidney Beans
1 - 14oz (398ml) Brown Beans
2 - Cups (500ml) Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
1-1/2 - Cups (375ml) Water
1/2 - Cup (125ml) Raisins
1/4 - Cup (60ml) Vinegar
1 - Bay leaf
1 - Tbsp. (15ml) Chili Powder
1 - Tbsp. (15ml) Parsley
1-1/2 - Tbsp. (7ml) Basil
1-1/2 - Tbsp. (7ml) Oregano
1/2 - Tbsp. (2ml) Pepper
1/4 - Tbsp. (1ml) Tobasco
1 - Cup (250ml) Cashews (optional)
Grated Chedder Cheese
Sour Crean
Saute' onion, green peppers, celery, garlic in oil till tender. Add tomatoes and beans with liquid, along with remaining ingedients, except cashews, cheese and sour cream. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Uncover and simmer for another hour. Remove Bay leaf if you can find it. If using cashews add at the end. Serve with grated cheese and a dolop of sour cream. Serves 8-10.
I would love to meet some other SE'ers, but I am in Budapest and I doubt that there are any others here, or that many of them come this way very often either.
But if you are coming let me know! There is a private market tour I have been aching to take, but I don't want to do it solo.
Oh @PeanutButter you made me so blue! I am currently living in Europe and I would probably sell my first born for some Hickory Sticks and Hawkin's Cheesies (and perhaps some Old Dutch BBQ chips). And I haven't had Pop Shoppe Pop for years!
I will have to make something, and I think I will go with either Nanaimo Bars or Butter Tarts.
Thanks @Monsieur_Ghislain! My husband loves Wunderbars (I am Canadian and he is American. He got hooked on wunderbars everytime he visited Canada when we were dating.) Now we are living in Europe and I'm off to the UK today so I will def be picking up some Starbars for him.
Thanks all for the suggestions. Butter tarts and Nanaimo bars both sound like possibilities, esp the Nanaimo bars since my dad's recipe has Bird's custard in it and I know I can get that in the UK for sure. :)
karen1monger - Thank you! I am going to look for them this weekend during our regular market trip. :)
I am living in Budapest, having moved here in January. The seasonalvores would have their limits far tested here. The only vegetables I have been able to get have been onions, potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips and the occasional squash. The local markets cater to Hungarians and Hunagarians want local and they want seasonal.
Just now blinding white stalks of asparagus are showing up at produce stands and last weekend I saw the first green asparagus this year, and you had better believe I snapped it right up. Though the white asparagus was fine, the green is the color I needed. I was spoiled in New York for ten years because I could choose to be seasonal but I knew I could also get kumquats in November if I really wanted them.
I kind of miss the variety, and yes I miss ramps because the bacon here is amazing and I know they would be delicious together with a poached egg on top.
It totally depends where you are going to live in the city. What neighborhood are you planning on living in?
I lived in New York city for over ten years having moved there from Canada and I would often hit up Myers for some tastes that were familiar and homey. Wine gums were always the first thing I would put in my basket. Remember when that cat was stuck in the store walls?
Now I have moved to Budapest and I was so happy to find a well-stocked British foods shop that also delivers to my apartment for free! Digestives also make excellent pie crusts when you want a change from graham crackers. Now if I could just find a Canadian foods shop (hickory sticks anyone?) I would be supremely happy.
Thank you for this! I can't get good old yellow mustard here and am getting desperate. Now to try and see if I can find the other ingredients.... I am sure Wondra flour is not available in Hungary, but I guess I can improvise.
I have a very distinct memory of the McDLT because it was a rare occasion for us to eat at McDonalds at all when we were kids and one night my mother went out and got take-out and brought it home. The McDLTs were unveiled, but someone had forgotten to put the "warm side" in.
All we had were a bunch of tops with lettuce and cheese. My mother called the restaurant and got her money back, but I don't think we ever had a McDLT in the end.
As an Albertan living in NYC the past 10 years there are few foods that I've really missed and they've always been of the junk food variety. In particular Old Dutch BBQ chips (when they changed the formula during one of my pregnancies, that was a terrible moment, esp after my dad had brought me two bags in his luggage).
My husband (who is from New Jersey) has fallen in love with some expat items, in particular Coffee Crisp chocolate bars. I do also have a soft spot for Kraft Dinner, but it has been years since I've been drunk enough to want to eat it.
Of course in three months I'm moving to Budapest, so I'm sure my list will grow of foods that I will be longing for. I'm sure good Mexican will be at the top of that list.
Thank you CJ McD, would you also marinade it or pop it in right away?
Saw on another message board that a person was unsure if they should throw out VERY EXPENSIVE steaks left in a hot car for over 4 hours. Do you think it would be safe to cook and eat tose steaks? She presumes it is over 100F in the car.
My husband went to Tuft's University about 100 years ago (well, like 20 years ago) and he still talks about a pizza he used to get while in school.
I don't know the name of the restaurant, but it was close to campus and his order was always garlic, extra garlic. It was a white pie, that much I know.
Now we live 1000s of miles away from the area and his birthday is coming up and I'm hoping to surprise him with a pizza for his birthday. I'm pretty good at the dough, but I'm wondering if anyone might have any ideas how I can recreate this pizza of his memories.
We're going to be in the UK in June and we are trying to think of something different we can do with our children.
My husband thought a trip to Cadbury world might be fun. Our children are 3 and 5 and the trip would be almost a 3 hour drive to get there.
Is it worth it? We will not be back in the UK for many years, so this would be our one time to do it.
I live overseas (Budapest) and my supply of kosher salt has run out. The stores that I have been to, from your local CBA to the high end gourmet and specialty, carry a vast array of salt. I've even come across Viking Smoked Salt. But no kosher (kóser in Hungarian) salt.
I've been really looking forward to making the Momofuku recipe for Bo Ssam for some friends and have tracked down all of the ingredients at various Asian markets here but no luck with the salt for the first step of the recipe.
The recipe calls for a dry brine combining 1 cup of kosher salt with 1 cup white sugar.
What other salt could I use? I can get sea salt pretty easily and of course regular table salt. Does anyone have any ideas?
I am traveling to the UK this week to visit a friend and we are going to attend a potluck village party in honor of the royal wedding.
I am supposed to bring something to the potluck (I get to the UK on Wednesday so I will have time to shop and make something) and have been asked to bring something "Canadian" (as I am Canadian).
What should I bring? Maple syrup is crazy expensive here, so anything with Maple is out.
I am currently living in Budapest and for Easter it just wouldn't be the same without some ham on the table.
A trip to the market, a fumbling with Hungarian and English stilted phrasing and I have returned home with a smoked "thigh" with a lot of the fat and skin still attached. It is a small piece of meat, no more than 3 lbs and boneless.
It is very marbled and quite dark in color (I am thinking it is quite smokey), and I am wondering how should I cook it? Any ideas? I would love some help with this one.
I got a lovely bone in pork loin roast at the Farmer's Market and I want to roast it up for Sunday dinner. I am also making mexican street corn for my husband (by request). Anyone have any recipes or ideas for the roast so that the two go together? Also, what else should I serve?
So it looks like I'm going to be doing the expat thing in Budapest. My dh got a job there and we'll be moving there in a few weeks/months (not sure yet).
Does anyone have an knowledge or advice about what markets, cooking etc. is like there? What should I expect to not see in stores over there that I've gotten used to in New York?
I love to cook and am kind of nervous and excited at the same time.
I made some delicious strawberry-lavender-lemonade yesterday. To my palate the balance of sweet-sour was spot on. To my husband's sensitive stomach it was way too acidic. We tried adding more ice and water, but he said that just took away the flavour.
Is there such a thing as a low-acid lemonade? My husband likes to drink low-acid orange juice, I'm wondering if there is an equivalent or a way to doctor my own low-acid lemonade.
Is he doomed to just watch me and the kids enjoy the lemonade?
I'm looking for ideas under $250 for a gift for my husband who is a huge food fan. His favorite food (as common as it sounds) is bacon of all kinds.
What would you give to a food fan? What would you like to receive?
My sister is a huge foodie and is coming for a visit. I want to take her some great spots for retail for a foodie fan. Does anyone have some recommendations in New York city for great stops (not restaurants) for a food fan?
After almost 11 years in New York City (and area) my husband and I are leaving this summer.
We're compiling a list of places and things we want to see and do before we go and we were thinking "where do we want to eat??"
So my question New Yorkers: where would you make sure you ate if you were moving very far away from the city?
Anyone have any ideas for nibbles I could serve at a party that are 50s in theme? The party is during the day, so it is not a cocktail party though I do plan on serving Bloody Marys.
I'm looking for stuff that is delicious and edible but def has that retro feel as I'm hosting what is basically a Tupperware party for a good friend and we want to play up the kitsch of the whole thing.
Thank you.
I am making a goat cheese tart and it calls for herb goat cheese. I only have reg goat cheese, but I have some fresh herbs: thyme, rosemary, sage, tarragon and basil.
Which combo of herbs should I use?
I'm invited to a brunch potluck next week and the hostess asked me to bring something savory. I'm at a loss. Any ideas of something I can bring that is transportable?
Can I put frosting on top of fondant? Working on an idea for a birthday cake...
I am visiting family in a remote location and wanted to make a pulled pork dish that I always make at home, but of course I forgot to bring my stash of smoked paprika, something that makes the dish in my opinion.
Of course the limited supply of grocery stores here do not have smoked paprika, I can use normal paprika I know, but how can I add that nice smokey flavour? I saw liquid smoke at the grocery store yesterday, would that work?
Any other ideas? Thanks so much!
Any tips for the big apple bbq festival? My husband is going this weekend for the first time with a fastpass. Should he go early or later?
Was invited to a summer bbq this coming weekend. Asked if I could bring anything, hostess said no. Then she sent an email to me this morning not only asking me to bring a dessert, but to make something very particular. I could see a request for something particular if it is something I am known for (ie "Mary, please bring your delicious cheesecake!") but the hostess has asked me to bring something I have never made before that is of a specific ethnic origin that I am unfamiliar with (not hostess ethnicity but theme she is going with for the bbq).
I think this is rude. Should I just suck it up and make the dish? What would you do?
We're hoping to head out on Mother's Day and a search here found plenty of guides for the uninitiated, but no note on if they are around on Sundays as well as Saturdays.
Does anyone know if the food vendors are open on Sunday? Thanks.
I'm looking for a source for interesting and delicious low cholesterol recipes. Stuff that is easy to make on a day to day basis. Anyone have any favourites?
My mother was visiting me a couple of weeks ago and we were watching some Food Network shows (Tyler's Ultimate, Barefoot Contessa etc). She made the comment that they used way too much salt.
I laughed her off, but I have noticed that if I follow recipes to a T from some cooks from tv they are too salty and I have to reduce the salt. For example Ina Garten's Truffle Mac and Cheese called for a Tablespoon of salt on top of the salty cheese.
Do you think they are using too much salt on tv cooking shows? Do you think it is just for theatrics?
Can I substitute bread flour for all-purpose flour in a muffin recipe?
I have two friends and their husbands coming in from out of town to NYC and we want to eat out. Since I'm a mom I don't get out much anymore and when I do I always seem to end up at Little Giant on Orchard Street. I want to try something new (especially since I am springing for a sitter).
What restaurant would you recommend for a group of six that is not too expensive (we're artist types with at least one unemployed husband) that has great food and is downtown-ish.
I think I saw it on here, but I can't remember. There was a blog or website featuring recipes that can be made cheaply.
Does anyone remember what it was called, or does anyone have another one to recommend?
Peony hasn't favorited a post yet.

Can't remote install OS X 10.6 on my macbook
I bought the upgrade to OS X 10.6 (family edition), and I've upgraded my iMac. I can't use the disc in my Macbook as the optical drive is broken. I tried enabling CD/DVD sharing on the iMac, but the disc doesn't show up in the macbook even though they are on the same network (I can browse files on the iMac from the macbook).
I've also tried using the 'remote install mac os x' application, but the disc doesn't show as an available drive when I reboot my macbook. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Does your MacBook and iMac both have a firewire port? If they both do, you can install SL on the MacBook by using Target Mode. See this Apple KB article for info and instructions: LINK Another way would be to buy an inexpensive USB external optical drive and install SL from the external drive. You can find inexpensive external drives on line for as low as $29.95.
By default, machines that ship with an optical device are unable to mount remote CD/DVDs. There's a setting that's turned on in the Nework browser file for MacBookAir and Mac Mini's that's turned off for all other machines (like your MacBook Pro).
If you open the terminal application and type:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
(then hit return and then type
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
You can restart your MacBook Pro and it will be able to see the CD/DVD discs inserted into another computer (so long as that other computer has CD/DVD sharing turned on).
This worked up through 10.6.8 but doesn't seem to work under Mac OS X 10.8. Not sure about 10.7.

The Wall of Zudaji by 403 Architecture is a Scrappy Shed Made From Leftover Materials
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On February 21, 2012 @ 9:05 am In Architecture,carousel showcase,Gallery,Green Building,Innovation,Recycled Materials | No Comments
403 architecture [1] is based out of Hamamatsu City [5], Japan, and the firm has completed a number of urban projects, apartment remodels, and other projects involving wood. As a result of their work, they were left with a lot of wood scraps, which they thought to save in hopes of reusing them. A restaurant near the architect's office requested a storage shed, thus giving the firm an excuse to make use of the leftover materials. The shed was built with reclaimed shipping pallets and scrap wood from other 3 projects, "the floor of Atsumi [6]," "the grid of Santen," "the difference of Ebitsuka." The shipping pallets were deconstructed and used to build the frame of the shed, while the scraps were used to fill in the space between studs.
Gaps were left in amongst the scraps to let light filter through either in during the day or out at night. To keep the structure weather proof, clear polycarbonate material are screwed on to the outside, and the roof is covered with corrugated sheets of zinc-coated steel. The Wall of Zudaji is at once a rustic shed made from recycled materials, but also a commentary on use of material resources. There are many wooden shipping pallets laying around, and stores often times have difficulty in getting rid of them. This project was a perfect way to make use of extra material and ensure minimal waste throughout all of their projects.

Love and Language Ilan Stavans, Veronica Albin
- Price: £16.00
- Add to Basket
- Format:
- Hardback
- Publication date:

Our understanding of love today is not the same as the one espoused by Plato in the fourth century BCE. Nor is it the same as the courtly love of the Renaissance, or love as defined by Stendhal or Proust or Freud. In this utterly original book, cultural critic Ilan Stavans engages in an exhilarating dialogue with Veronica Albin about love and its various manifestations. Roaming through millennia, across geographical boundaries, and from culture to culture, Stavans surprises us again and again with new perspectives on love: how we conceive of it, how it differs from place to place, what roles it plays in people's lives, how it appears in art and literature. An engaging and provocative thinker, Stavans draws on a rich multi-heritage background to probe his topic and to call attention to the differences between languages. As Albin observes, Stavans is 'at once an incisive thinker and a powerful story-teller'. The scope of his erudition is dazzling; he readily quotes from history, literature, and Scripture, but ponders with equal care the content of telenovas and Walt Disney cartoons. He uses dialogue as a path to the truth about love, and readers who accompany Stavans on this path will encounter a wealth of unanticipated insights into this most ethereal of emotions.
Ilan Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor in Latin American and Latino Culture, Amherst College. He is editor-in-chief of the four-volume Encyclopedia Latina: History, Culture, and Society in the United States and author of The Hispanic Condition and Spanglish: The Making of a New American Language, among many other publications. Veronica Albin is senior lecturer of Spanish and translation, Rice University, and a regular contributor to Translation Journal.
"In this lively, erudite conversation Stavans ranges over literature, etymology, philosophy, mythology, and sexuality. The heart of his investigation is how language is used to convey emotion, and how literature is 'a form of empathy' and 'inspired testimony' that connects us with the human experience. Stavans generously shares not only his considerable learning, but his own experience, making this book a unique exploration of love and language."-Fred R.

More Arctic weather to come for Notts, says the Met Office
Posted: December 03, 2012|
THE icy spell is set to continue in Notts after today.
As the county woke up to a hard frost, temperatures plummeted to -2.5 degrees yesterday morning.
The Met Office said the cold snap had been caused by a build-up of air brought down from the Arctic over the past few days.
And although today won't be particularly cold, with a warmer front from the west bringing temperatures of seven degrees Celsius, the Met Office said a north-westerly wind will make it feel much colder.
After that the cold snap is set to continue into the middle of the week with a similar temperature to yesterday predicted.
By the end of the week it could be a few degrees colder due to a north-westerly wind.
Despite the cold the risk of snow remains low.
The Met Office said: "The picture at the moment is sunshine and showers, with places by the sea getting the snow. But there could be a few wintry showers, especially in the later part of the week, but not that will settle or cause problems."

Anna Paquin better be sending a jar of jam to the damn ocean as a whole. That's because even though we find the actress completely terrible and intolerable as a whole (a feeling that stems back to when we were college classmates and her nickname was Anna Crackquin), we just can't help but love her a little bit for these pictures of her and her hot-as-aitch boyfriend, True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer, having an absolute b-l-a-s-t at Sea World.
Here she is slow dancing with one of these no-footed geniuses:
And here's the upcoming poster to Paquin's long-awaited sequel: Fly Away Home 2: Oh, You Can't Fly? Well, March Away Home, Then
Ahead, photos of Anna and boyfriend Stephen Moyer holding penguins! And a photo gallery that will surely fulfill your Daily Celebrity Dolphin quotient…
Boyfriend Stephen Moyer is no doubt one of the best parts of True Blood, though if I was a penguin, what with my little bird face the size of a nickel, and saw this pasty ass vampire face so close to mine, I'd probably be a little more terrified than ol' Non-Chalant Jones seen below:

The NIDCD utilizes the F30 award for the research training of clinician-scientists pursuing the full-range of dual health professional/clinical (e.g., MD, DO, DDS, AuD, PsyD) and research (e.g., PhD, DSc) doctoral degrees in an integrated program, such that both degrees are conferred at the end of the period of doctoral study. Health professional students who are pursuing a research doctoral degree independently of their clinical doctoral training (i.e., they are not enrolled in an integrated dual-degree program) should consider submitting a dissertation-stage F31 award application to the NIDCD.
The NIDCD requires that the sponsor hold NIH research grant support as a principal investigator in the area of the applicant's proposed research.
The NIDCD conducts the peer review of applications for this fellowship program within its Scientific Review Branch, based on an expedited review schedule of four-five months from submission to award. In order to maintain this schedule, it is imperative that applicants submitting applications that are determined, upon consultation with the Institute's research training program official noted above, to be within the scientific purview of the NIDCD concurrently send, at the time of submission to the NIH Center for Scientific Review, one of the application copies and all sets of appendix materials, if any, to:

Institute/Center Specific Information
Training opportunities supported under this announcement by the NIEHS are expected to focus on the environmental health sciences and be responsive to the mission of the NIEHS, which is to reduce the burden of human illness and dysfunction from environmental causes by understanding how environmental factors, individual susceptibility and age interrelate in the disease process.
Fellowship proposals should examine/address how an environmentally relevant toxicant or exposure is, or might be, involved in a human health endpoint such as a specific human disease, dysfunction, pathophysiologic condition, or relevant disease process. Examples of environmentally relevant toxicants include industrial chemicals or manufacturing byproducts, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, and fungal/bacterial or biologically derived toxins. Agents considered non-responsive to this announcement include, but are not limited to: alcohol, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, chemotherapeutic agents, radiation which is not a result of an ambient environmental exposure, and infectious or parasitic agents, except when agents are disease co-factors to an environmental toxicant exposure to produce the biological effect.
Fellowship proposals may include research in the Environmental Public Health field in which communities which are exposed to environmental exposures or have concerns about environmentally related diseases are actively engaged in all stages of research, dissemination and evaluation. Examples of proposals in the Environmental Public Health field include investigating the health effects / impacts of environmental exposures that disproportionately burden low income or minority communities, investigating emerging environmental threats to communities, investigating exposure-related diseases that are of great concern to a community, and research and evaluation methodology to improve the theories and implementation strategies for working with communities to address their environmental health concerns. Fellows would learn how to conduct research using community based participatory methods, create outreach and education programs and translate research finding to a vast array of stakeholders.

Chris Rock: 'Grown Ups' Is Better Than 'The Artist'
In an interview with New York Times' Dave Itzkoff, Chris Rock held nothing back when he stated that Grown Ups is a better movie than The Artist.
Although Chris called The Artist a great film, he noted that the film wasn't what audiences want.
Grown Ups is better than The Artist 'cause the audience says so. No film critic's going to say it, but Madagascar 3 is better than The Artist, and it's better because it makes people feel better. That's ultimately what it boils down to.
Grown Ups grossed $271 million at the worldwide box office, while Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, which features Chris' voice, has earned over $500 million globally since its release in May.
By comparison, The Artist grossed only $133 million around the globe. However, the 2011 Best Picture winner is a silent black-and-white film.

I'm fuming over this story. The dog didn't need to be tased the first time, let alone a second time. People who harm animals have serious issues. That police officer should be ashamed and embarrassed. I hope he doesn't have any animals. If he is scared of a barking dog, maybe he shouldn't be a cop. I feel the only reason he tasered that dog was so he could just taser something. Again, this cop is an idoit.

Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Özil spoke to BWIN.com and reflected on his time at the Bernabéu as he draws near to playing his 100th game for 'Los Blancos'.
The German international also spoke about Madrid's upcoming Copa del Rey semi-final with Barcelona and the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo to the team.
Close to his 100th game: "I'm very grateful to be able to play for such a great club. My debut was a very special day but nothing compares to winning trophies, like the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, the Supercopa or the league title, those remain in your memory forever."
His thoughts on El Clásico: "Our aim is to show our potential out on the pitch and win both matches. We are in the semi-finals and playing against Barcelona, so we have to give our all and try and win.
"We know that Barcelona are a very potent team with great players but we have to focus on ourselves. We are on a good run and we are also playing at home. Our aim is to win the game, make our fans proud and try to qualify for the final."
"This is the best derby in the world and it's always a special occasion for us because we want to prove ourselves against the very best. Of course you always want to win games like these, especially for the fans, who support us throughout the year. We want to pay them back with a win over Barcelona."
The importance of Cristiano to Madrid: "We are all aware of his potential. He is one of the best players in the world and he has shown time and time again how important he is to the team but first and foremost, we are a team, and we don't revolve around Cristiano or any other player. We know his strong points and we need him but we have to work as a team if we are to be successful."
People have referred to Özil as a different player from the rest: "I'm happy that people think of me like that, my aim is always to show my potential on the pitch. I love playing football and I enjoy myself when I'm out on the pitch. I'm very proud that people say that about me, of course."
Monitor finances, choose your signings wisely, select the best strategy, and face off friends to become the best manager in the world.

AM3+ Last Gasp?
Over the past several years I have reviewed quite a few Asus products. The ones that typically grab my attention are the ROG based units. These are usually the most interesting, over the top, and expensive products in their respective fields. Ryan has reviewed the ROG graphics cards, and they have rarely disappointed. I have typically taken a look at the Crosshair series of boards that support AMD CPUs.
Crosshair usually entails the "best of the best" when it comes to features and power delivery. My first brush with these boards was the Crosshair IV. That particular model was only recently taken out of my primary work machine. It proved itself to be an able performer and lasted for years (even overclocked). The Crosshair IV Extreme featured the Lucid Hydra chip to allow mutli-GPU performance without going to pure SLI or Crossfire. The Crosshair V got rid of Lucid and added official SLI support and it incorporated the Supreme FX II X-Fi audio. All of these boards have some things in common. They are fast, they overclock well, and they are among the most expensive motherboards ever for the AMD platform.
So what is there left to add? The Crosshair V is a very able platform for Bulldozer and Piledriver based parts. AMD is not updating the AM3+ chipsets, so we are left with the same 990FX northbridge and the SB950 southie (both of which are essentially the same as the 890FX/SB850). It should be a simple refresh, right? We had Piledriver released a few months ago and there should be some power and BIOS tweaks that can be implemented and then have a rebranded board. Sounds logical, right? Well, thankfully for us, Asus did not follow that path.
The Asus Crosshair V Formula Z is a fairly radical redesign of the previous generation of products. The amount of extra features, design changes, and power characteristics make it a far different creature than the original Crosshair V. While both share many of the same style features, under the skin this is a very different motherboard. I am rather curious why Asus did not brand this as the "Crosshair VI". Let's explore, shall we?

Intel Celeron 847 Benchmarked Against Atom and AMD APU-Based Low-Power Systems
Subject: Motherboards | March 8, 2013 - 06:30 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: roundup, motherboards, mini-itx, celeron 847, APU, amd e-450
While high end motherboards and processors tend to get the most attention from enthusiasts, sometimes less is better (*waits for Josh to stop laughing on the podcast). More often than not seen integrated in small form factor OEM boxes, there are a few motherboards out there that come as a bare board and integrated processor to be the basis of low power desktops, network devices, and home theater PCs. Both Intel and AMD have hats in the low power game, and Hartware.de has pitched four such low power boards against each other. The MSI C847MS-E33-847 and Biostar NM70I pack Intel Celeron 847 CPUs, The Zotac D2550-ITX WIFI hosts an Intel Atom D2550 processor plus a NVIDIA GT 610 IGP, and the ASUS E45MI-M Pro is powered by an AMD E-450 APU.
Hartware.de puts several low power boards into the thunderdome to see which one(s) reign supreme.
As it turns out, the results are nearly in line with what one might expect. The Atom D2550-powered system was the slowest, the APU and ASUS motherboard was the fastest, and the Celeron was somewhere in the middle. The AMD E-450 APU used the most power, and the system was one of the most expensive, however. Interestingly, the Atom system was not all that much more power efficient than the Celeron despite the lower performance and weaker hardware. The Celeron 847 chip had decent CPU performance, and mid-range power and some of the best thermals. All of the configurations were able to playback media, but the AMD system gave the most fluid results.
If you are in the market for low power system parts, the review is worth checking out.

Qualcomm & MSI Announce Killer Z77 Motherboard.
Subject: General Tech, Networking, Motherboards | March 5, 2013 - 03:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: qualcomm, msi, killer nic, Intel Z77
MSI says "JUST GAME!"... but... I must write up their announcement first...
The computer components company would like us to "JUST GAME!" on their gaming motherboards, of course. This press release is for the MSI Killer Z77 gaming motherboard. The board supports the DDR3-3000, Creative Sound Blaster Cinema with Crystalizer, OC Genie II, and Military Class III initiatives.
But to call yourself Killer, you got some big shoes to fill.
Yes MSI, we get it. Challenge accepted.
What makes it a "Killer" announcement is the addition of a Killer E2200 LAN chip from Qualcomm's Bigfoot Networks. We have a fair amount of experience with the gamer networking hardware company; Ryan wrote a review all the way back in 2006. Since then, the company found themselves scooped up by Qualcomm where they found their technology integrated into motherboards from various manufacturers. They have also dabbled into wireless technology.
MSI proclaims with the E2200 LAN chip, their motherboard will have to use less space to house the chip when compared to the earlier Killer E2100. Also, for users running Windows 8, the E2200 was designed to support that operating system. Linux gamers? You too, but not until the second half of 2013.

Gigabyte Launches Two Thin Mini-ITX Motherboards
Subject: Motherboards | February 22, 2013 - 03:33 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: thin mini-itx, mini ITX, gigabyte, AIO
Gigabyte recently launched two new motherboards that conform to the Thin Mini-ITX specification. This new spec is essentially Mini-ITX but keeps heatsinks and rear IO height to a minimum--allowing for thinner All-In-One PCs and HTPC chassis. The two new boards are the GA-H77TN and GA-B75TN, and they support Intel Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processors, SODIMMs, and mSATA SSDs. Considering the boards measure a mere 17cm x 17cm and are 2.5cm high, it is a lot of power in a small package (I can hear Josh laughing on the podcast next week already).
The GA-H77TN (rev. 1.1) motherboard is based on the Intel H77 chipset while the GA-B75TN (rev. 1.1) is based on the Intel B75 chipset. They boards are fairly similar, but the cheaper B75 chipset does not support as many SATA 6Gbps ports. Both boards use laptop-style DDR3 SODIMM memory at up to 8GB of dual channel DDR3 1600 and either an Intel Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processor. Also, both thin mini ITX motherboards include a PCI-E 3.0 x4 expansion slot (up to 25W), mini PCI-E slot, and mSATA expansion slot.
The motherboards also include support for Intel's onboard CPU graphics (ie. HD 4000) and Realtek ALC887 audio codecs. The video oputs include HDMI 1.3, DisplayPort, and LVDS, with DisplayPort providing support for up to 2560x1600 resolutions. The onboard audio chip can support 7.1 channel audio, but only when using the front panel audio.
Rear IO on both the GA-H77TN and GA-B75TN includes;
- 1 x DC-input
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet jack
3 x Video outputs
- 1 x HDMI 1.3 @ 1920x1200
- 1 x DisplayPort @ 2560x1600
- 1 x LVDS
- 4 x USB 3.0 ports
- 2 x audio jacks (line in/out)
The Gigabyte GA-H77TN has two SATA 6Gbps ports, two SATA 3Gbps ports, and one mSATA port. On the other hand, the GA-B75TN supports a single SATA 6Gbps port, three SATA 3Gbps ports, and one mSATA port.
The two thin mini-ITX motherboards should be available for purchase soon, but there is no word on a specific release date. While currently listed as out of stock on Newegg, the site does provide a hint at pricing. The GA-H77TN has a price of $125 while the GA-B75TN is retailing for approximately $110. Thin Mini-ITX cases are somewhat rare, but the form factor can certain enable some neat designs and the more motherboards avaialble, the more likely it is that new thin chassis will be developed.

Samsung's take on the Surface Pro, the ATIV Smart PC 500T
Subject: Motherboards | February 18, 2013 - 04:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Samsung, ATIV Smart PC 500T, Surface Pro, tablet
Samsung has produced a Surface Pro tablet they call the ATIV Smart PC 500T, which comes paired with a keyboard/docking station. Powered by an 1.5GHz Atom Z2760 and 2GB of DDR2-800 with a 64GB e.MMC iNAND SSD for storage the device the performance will beat a WinRT tablet but it is not going to compete with a laptop. Strangely one of the most advertised features, the S Pen, was not present in the Canadian package so it is not included in this review. Silent PC Review noticed that Samsung are working on the 500T's page, though they do not know if it was to correct the erroneous text stating the S Pen comes with the basic model or simpy to give time to have S Pens shipped and attached. The 11.6" 1366 x 768 screen was washed out in comparison to the Microsoft Surface Pro and it did not seem as sturdy as the Microsoft product either. Check out the full review to get a better idea how this tablet performs.
"Windows 8 is making possible a new class of mobile convertibles that flip between tablet and notebook. The Samsung ATIC Smart PC 500T is one example, based around a new Atom core and built around a big (for tablets) 11.6" screen, but there's an Ivy Bridge upgrade available in the 700T. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Surface Pro shows us a different vision of the convertible."

It might be a little skinny but ASRock's Z77 Extreme4 can overclock
Subject: Motherboards | February 18, 2013 - 02:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Z77, asrock, Z77 Extreme4
ASRock has been steadily gaining popularity with system builders that want a balance between price, features and performance without sacrificing support or stability. At $120, the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 seems to fit the first criteria, the pair of PCIe 3.0 16x slots capable of handling two cards at 8x speeds, four SATA 6Gbps ports and a half dozen USB 3.0 ports meet the second. [H]ard|OCP tested the performance and stability of the board recently, getting an stable 4.8GHz overclock on their i7 3770K, demonstrating that even a value board can compete with expensive models. The sacrifice made was in the thickness of the PCB, it is much thinner than most motherboards and while [H] did not break the PCB they had a few stressful moments; drop by to read about them.
"While ASRock is a well known new comer in the motherboard market, we've not exactly been fans of ASRock products based on past experiences. ASRock's popularity grows and as a result we are taking another look at a motherboard from in the hope of understanding this popularity. Is it just price, or is there more to ASRock's offerings?"

Define an Enthusiast CPU...
FM2 poses an interesting quandary for motherboard manufacturers. AMD provides a very robust and full featured chip for use with their processors (A85X) that would lend itself well to midrange and enthusiast class motherboards. Unfortunately, AMD does not provide a similarly high end CPU as compared to the competition at price ranges that would make sense for a motherboard that would cost between $140 and $250 on the FM2 platform.
So these manufacturers are constrained on price to offer fully featured motherboards that take advantage of all aspects of the A85X FCH (Fusion Controller Hub). Until AMD can deliver a more competitive CPU on the FM2 platform, motherboard manufacturers will be forced to design offerings that can really go no higher than $129 (the current price of the fastest A10 processor from AMD). This is not necessarily a bad thing though, as it has forced these manufacturers to really rethink their designs and to focus their energies on getting the greatest bang-for-the-buck. AMD is selling a decent number of these processors, but the market is constrained as compared to the Intel offerings utilizing the 1155 BGA infrastructure.
Gigabyte has taken this particular bull by the horns and have applied a very unique (so far) technology to the board. This is on top of all the other marketing and engineering terms that we are quite familiar with. The company itself is one of the top three manufacturers of motherboards in the world, and they typically trail Asus in terms of shipments but are still ahead of MSI. As with any motherboard manufacturer, the quality of Gigabyte products has seen peaks and valleys through the years. From what I have seen for the past few years though, Gigabyte is doing very well in terms of overall quality and value.

10-phase riser card powered mini-ITX Ivy Bridge from ASUS
Subject: Motherboards | February 5, 2013 - 06:00 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: asus, Intel Z77, P8Z77-I Deluxe, mini-itx, lucid
The most instantly noticeable thing about the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe has to be the riser card sporting an array of capacitors and providing 8+2 power phase VRMs. What isn't as noticeable until you use the motherboard is the Intel SRT support, Lucid Virtu and the overclocking options available in the UEFI BIOS. Being a Mini-ITX board, the singly PCI Express x16 slot and dual memory slots are to be expected but the spacing is such that you should have no problems with full sized DIMMs or oversized GPUs, depending on the cooler and case you choose. The included dual Wi-Fi antennas are a nice bonus from ASUS as well. Drop by The Tech Report to see this board in action.
"The P8Z77-I Deluxe packs a lot of goodness into a tiny package. We take a closer look at the board's features, performance, and overclocking potential."
