If you grew up in Texas, chances are good you love your Tex-Mex. An enchilada dinner, a combo plate, brisket tacos, chilaquiles, fajitas — whatever it is, you've gotta have it. It's comfort food supreme.
There are as many opinions about the best Tex-Mex places in Dallas as there are Tex-Mex places in Dallas. Most people I know love one place for the cheese enchiladas, another place for the chiles rellenos, yet another for carne guisada, and so on. But one all-around best place? Much harder to say.
Meanwhile, in the last couple of years, the city has seen an explosion of terrific new Mexican restaurants — places that purposefully leave out the Tex part of the equation, at least in name. Some of these newer places, like Mesa Veracruz Coastal Cuisine, spotlight the cooking of a specific region in Mexico; others, like MesoMaya, feature dishes from all around the country. Does that mean there are no Tex-Mex dishes on the menu? Not necessarily; often there's even a Tex-Mex section.
So what's the difference between Mexican food and Tex-Mex? "There is no consensus on what Tex-Mex means in Texas," Robb Walsh wrote in his seminal 2004 The Tex-Mex Cookbook. Truer words have never been written, and the more time goes by, the harder — and probably sillier — it is to draw a clear distinction between Tex-Mex and Mexican.
Yes, fajitas or old-fashioned chile con carne are unmistakably Tex-Mex. Cochinita pibíl and huachinango veracruzano are certainly Mexican. But we are cooking and dining in Texas, and our ingredients, tastes and influences are Texan.
The way I see it, Tex-Mex is not frozen in time, with only the old-fashioned Tex-Mex dishes counting as real Tex-Mex. Rather, it's much more fluid. Dishes and ingredients from Mexico now make their way more and more into the equation, as do all the wonderful ingredients we have available to us in Texas, some of which come from elsewhere in the United States.
Borrego (lamb breast) en mole negro, a dish at Monica Greene's new Monica's Nueva Cocina, certainly sounds Mexican, but it's served with duck-fat fries. Rellenos de queso at MesoMaya are filled not with jack cheese, but fresh goat cheese. At Mi Día From Scratch in Grapevine, chef Gabriel DeLeon fashions carnitas from duck.
Tex-Mex is evolving. It's a living cuisine — and it's one that just gets better and better.
In the pages that follow, you'll find the restaurants offering the best Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking in and around Dallas. They're listed in alphabetical order.
No doubt you have your own favorite places for Tex-Mex and Mexican food. We'd love to hear about them, including which dishes you crave most at which restaurants. Please leave a comment below and let us know.
Cuquita's Restaurant
The Villafranca family's original dining room on Henderson Avenue is long gone, but it's always a pleasure to visit Enrique Villafranca's welcoming spot on the Dallas-Richardson border. Fancy, it's not, but it is charmingly decorated. Friendly servers, in their traditional Mexican blouses and skirts, take good care of diners, and the kitchen turns out reliably delicious, home-style Mexican dishes at very friendly prices. Handmade corn tortillas (one per person) land on the table when you're seated, along with chips and good salsa. Then it's on to chicken enchiladas Mexicanas (made with those fresh tortillas) with a bright-flavored salsa verde, served with excellent refried beans and rice. Or flavorful, tender guiso de puerco in a vibrant red sauce. There's also worthwhile posole and terrific costillas de puerco (pork ribs) en salsa verde and much more. A liquor license is pending at press time; in the interim, it's BYOB.
8076 Spring Valley Road at Coit Road, Dallas. 214-575-3188. cuquitasrestaurants.com. See website for other locations.
El Ranchito
Venture into this Oak Cliff institution specializing in the foods of northern Mexico at dinnertime only if you're up for a rollicking good time: The mariachis are loud. Skip the margaritas (the giant drinks taste more like commercial mix than tequila) in favor of a dark, nutty Santos beer on tap. A botana platter is a nice way to warm up for the main event: cabrito al horno — grilled baby goat served family-style, with charro beans, rice and more. Wrap some of the savory meat in a good handmade corn tortilla, add a dab of guacamole and a drizzle of "salsa cabrito" (a medium-hot cooked red salsa), and happiness follows. Another norteño dish, asado de puerco, tender chunks of pork in ancho chile sauce, is very good, too. Or if you're up for spicy seafood, try the camarones enchipotlados: plump shrimp in a fiery chipotle sauce. For dessert, El Ranchito's thick, rich flan is uncommonly good.
610 W. Jefferson Blvd., Dallas. 214-946-4238. elranchito-dallas.com.
The cooking at Abraham Salum's Cole Aveue restaurant is more polished than soulful or adventuresome, even since chef Anastacia Quiñones (formerly chef at the erstwhile Alma) has joined the Mexico City-born chef-owner in the kitchen. The menu can veer far from what feels Mexican: Grilled farmed salmon definitely doesn't, even if it's in a black-bean purée; ditto the risotto studded with English peas and mushrooms that forms a bed for grilled quail. But it's hard to argue with the albondigas — meatballs fashioned from pork and beef, with a lovely touch of mint, in a gentle tomato-chipotle sauce. Or a trio of adorable mini tamales, served with a deep-flavored mole Colorado sauce. "Huachinango," which at Komali means pan-seared Texas redfish, topped with a sauté of summer squash, pearl onions and corn and set in a fresh tomato sauce, is a wonderfully summery new addition to the menu. Take advantage of the impressive tequila and mescal selection — this is a great place to have fun with a tasting flight.
4152 Cole Ave. at Fitzhugh Avenue, Dallas. 214-252-0200. komalirestaurant.com.
Mesa Veracruz Coastal Cuisine
The menu may be small at the Reyes family's very personal restaurant in Oak Cliff, but co-chefs Raul and Olga Reyes turn out some of the most outstanding Mexican cooking in Dallas, with flavors that are focused and pure. Ensalada de chayote, a beautifully herbal, citrusy salad of the cucumber-like fruit, makes a superb starter. So do enmoladas — handmade corn tortillas swathed in a luscious mole negro and folded. After that, it's hard to go wrong. Arroz a la tumbada, a soulful, rich bouillabaisse-like broth loaded with seafood and rice, is a winner; so are the costillas de puerco en adobo. As if that weren't enough, Mesa makes one of the best margaritas in town.
118 W. Jefferson Blvd., Dallas. 214-941-4246. mesadallas.com.
If you're a fan of posole, you must try chef Nico Sanchez's bright, lively version at this North Dallas restaurant, which also serves a fine, classic ceviche of fish and perfect shrimp. From tender, juicy cochinita pibíl (also bright-flavored; it's a recurring theme at MesoMaya) to well-spiced carne Oaxaca — a nicely cooked steak served with a spectacular little tamale wrapped in an hoja santa leaf and filled with black-bean purée — there's something on the wide-ranging menu to please just about any palate. When the restaurant debuted last year, there were some service issues, but the kinks have been worked out, and the margaritas have improved greatly, too. Sanchez makes excellent corn tortillas, grinding the corn by hand.
11909 Preston Road at Forest Lane, Dallas. 469-726-4390. mesomaya.com.
Mi Día From Scratch
Don't live in Grapevine? Gabriel DeLeon's cooking at this shiny, lively spot that opened in 2011 is worth the trip. The menu offers dishes spanning the spectrum of Mexican flavors from Mexico to Texas to New Mexico. If you've never tasted huitlacoche, the corn fungus that's a delicacy in Mexico, this is the place to do it: DeLeon's quesadillas, layers of house-made blue corn tortillas, roasted vegetables, queso asadero and sautéed huitlacoche, napped with red and green New Mexico chile sauces, are spectacular. So is the huitlacoche, vegetable and cheese-filled chile relleno. There's also a fine cochinita pibíl, a saucy skirt-steak-and-stacked-enchilada affair called New Mexico tampiqueña, and fabulous fajitas. DeLeon does a superb job with all the sauces. The margaritas have greatly improved since Mí Día opened, as has the $12 guacamole, a prodigious, customizable, three-avocado affair made tableside.
1295 S. Main St., Grapevine. 817-421-4747. midiafromscratch.com.
Monica's Nueva Cocina
No one embodies the evolution of Tex-Mex more than Monica Greene, whose last restaurant, Monica's Aca y Alla, was a longtime Tex-Mex fave (she sold her share to her partners, who have renamed it Maracas Cocina Mexicana). Her new place pushes the Mexican flavors Texans love into fresh, new territory. Though it has been open only about a week as I write, chef Hector Hernandez's cooking was so impressive that I'm going out on a limb to include Monica's in this list. From toothsome little sopes, each topped with a single albondiga, to crisp taquitos dorados filled with duck carnitas and served with an avocado-tomatillo salsa, the starters are smart, original and delicious. Meanwhile, forget about flatbread: Monica's huarache rocks. It's fashioned from masa made from hand-ground corn and topped with refried beans, cascabel chile sauce, mushrooms, roasted corn, Oaxaca cheese and arugula. A lamb duo, profoundly flavorful breast and slices of gorgeously cooked sirloin, get sauced in an outstanding mole negro, while beautifully seared duck breast comes in vibrant mole amarillo. I can't wait to return.
4123 Cedar Springs Road (in the Illume complex), Dallas. 214-219-1639. monicas.com.

Three soldiers from upstate New York were killed in Afghanistan Saturday when their armored vehicle hit a roadside bomb as they were trying to clear the road of just such deadly devices, the Defense Department reported Monday.
Spc. Brett E. Gornewicz, 27, of Alden, had recently been awarded a Bronze Star with valor. He was an aspiring engineer who was planning to move to North Carolina to start a new life with his longtime girlfriend when his deployment ended.
Spc. Ryan P. Jayne, 22, of Canisteo in Steuben County, had just returned to Afghanistan last Monday after a two-week leave back home.
Staff Sgt. Dain T. Venne, 29, of Port Henry in the Adirondacks, had been a volunteer firefighter and was honored last spring for helping rescue people trapped at a campground during flooding caused by Hurricane Irene in 2011.
A fourth soldier from their unit survived the blast but was injured. His condition was not known Monday.
Gornewicz and Jayne were both assigned to the 680th Engineer Company in Canandaigua and Venne was from the 366th Engineer Company in Canton. They all had been temporarily transferred to the 444th engineer company in Oswego for this deployment.
The soldiers were "on a route-clearing patrol" at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the Paktia province of Afghanistan when their vehicle hit an improvised explosive device, according to a unit spokesman.
The main task of engineer units is to clear roads of bombs using armored personnel carriers specially designed to withstand mines. They use metal detectors to search for clues while also scanning the landscape for signs that something has been placed underground.
Gornewicz and Venne were on their second deployments. For Jayne, this was his first.
Monday, the soldiers' families were making their way to Dover Air Force Base to greet the coffins of their loved ones later that night.
"He was a proud American who was proud to serve his country," said Jack Gornewicz, Gornewicz's father, in a cellphone interview as he was headed to Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Brett Gornewicz grew up in Alden and graduated from Alden High School in 2003. He enlisted in the Army Reserve in 2006.
Jack Gornewicz attributed the decision to 9/11. "He wanted to do something to serve his country," he said.
He was deployed the following year to Iraq. In 2011, he graduated from Buffalo State College with a degree in industrial technology before being deployed again in January, this time to Afghanistan.
His father said Gornewicz was not the kind to complain about his deployments. "Never once," Jack Gornewicz said.
Nor was he the type to seek attention. When he came home for his two-week leave in August, he cringed at an article about him that he saw in a local paper. His family had planned to hold a big reception for him too, but he asked them to cancel it.
"He didn't want any attention," his father said. "That's not why he served."
While he was home, he "wanted to do all-American things," his father said. The Erie County Fair. Quality time with his family and friends. He went to North Carolina to visit his sister, Cassandra Cranston, and her baby daughter, Avery, as well as his longtime girlfriend, Nicole Rumley.
The two had met years ago working at Alden Pools. They began dating when he came back from Iraq. Rumley had just recently moved to Fayetteville, N.C., to teach high school French, and Gornewicz's plan was to move there with her when he was done in Afghanistan.
"He was a wonderful, wonderful man," said Rumley, who was joining his family at Dover.
Gornewicz had sent her an email on Halloween, asking her about her students' costumes. They last spoke by phone the previous weekend. He sounded in good spirits, but that's what he'd do no matter what. "He always put on a happy face anyway," she said.
A fellow soldier noted that Gornewicz had been awarded a Bronze Star with valor this summer, but did not know the details of why he had been honored.
Jayne was listed by the Army as being from Campbell, but he was most recently living in Canisteo.
Jayne had just come home last month for his leave and went back to Afghanistan last week, according to the Hornell Evening Tribune.
His Facebook page was filled with heartbroken notes from friends and family Monday.
"You were such a great kid who will be truly missed," wrote one friend.
"You will always be my hero. Thank you for helping our country!" wrote another.
Jayne had written about his visit home on Oct. 22. "It was a really good 2 weeks home. glad i saw most of my family and friends. for those who i didnt see its nothing personal but i will see u in 3 months. it was fun but now its back to business for a bit. love yall."
Staff Sgt. Dain Venne was with the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division but reported to the Reserves training center in Oswego, according to the Plattsburgh Press-Republican.
In May, he had been honored with the Firefighters Commendation Medal from the Port Henry Fire Department for helping stranded campers when Hurricane Irene hit last August. His father accepted the award on his behalf because he was in Afghanistan, according to the Plattsburgh Press-Republican.
As sad news spread of the three soldiers' deaths, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo directed all flags on state buildings to be flown at half-staff on Wednesday.
"Along with all New Yorkers, I mourn the deaths of Spc. Gornewicz, Spc. Jayne and Staff Sgt. Venne," Cuomo said in a statement. "These young men were all volunteers who lived and worked in our communities and gave their lives for our great country.
"We extend our condolences to their friends, their families, and their fellow soldiers."

on February 1, 2013 - 1:00 AM
As the horror of the Newtown tragedy unfolded, it became clear to me that the celebration of the 2012 holiday season would be restrained. Loss and grief seemed to almost envelop me and mock any semblance of joy. And yet, when was the message of Christmas – peace on earth; goodwill to all – needed more?
So I felt especially blessed to receive a "God wink" the week before Christmas. A God wink is defined by Squire Rushnell in "When God Winks at You" as what some call a coincidence or an answered prayer. If you watch for them, they can be tangible signposts from God making his presence known in our lives.
The seeds of this God wink were planted 44 Christmases ago. My cousin Richard's wife, Karen, was an outstanding seamstress. One of her specialties was making Raggedy Ann and Andy rag dolls in all sizes. My mother was so taken with her dolls that she bought me a set of 20-inch dolls for Christmas. They were amazing.
The only problem was, I was 15 years old! I couldn't even tell my friends what I received for Christmas – it was just too embarrassing. But my mom was so excited with them that I said thank you as enthusiastically as possible and put the dolls on a shelf.
Over the years, I considered giving them away several times. But because they were made by a relative and my mom had chosen them for me, I could never actually part with them. And there was one part of the dolls I especially was drawn to – Karen had embroidered a heart on each doll. Inside the hearts was embroidered, "I love you."
Now fast-forward 44 years to the week before Christmas. My cousin was visiting family in Western New York. His beloved Karen had passed away earlier in the fall after a long illness. Their first great-grandchild, a girl, was born shortly before Karen died. Richard told me how happy he was that Karen was able to hold the baby one time.
I asked him if she had been able to make a Raggedy Ann for her. His eyes filled with tears – she had started a doll, but was too ill to finish it.
As I drove home, I berated myself for asking a question that upset Richard at such a difficult time. Then it dawned on me – there was a brand-new set of Karen's Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls safely sitting under glass in my sewing room.
As soon as I got home, I rushed to the dolls and once more treasured their "I love you" hearts. I felt very deeply that God had let me "adopt" these dolls for 44 years so that at just the right time, they could bring some joy this Christmas to a family grieving the loss of their wife, mother and grandmother.
Richard and Karen's precious new great-granddaughter would have Karen's dolls after all. A tangible reminder of Karen's love for the baby she did not have the chance to get to know.
Thank you, Mom. Because of you, one of the least favorite gifts I ever received became one of the most joyful gifts I was ever able to give.
And thanks to God for providing a God wink 44 years in the making – reminding me at a difficult time that even in seasons of loss and grief, gifts of love and caring abound and can still bring joy.

Intel® PCH EG20T IEEE1588 Hardware Assist Driver: Guide
This document describes the IEEE1588 hardware assist driver interfaces exposed to the user-mode applications and how to use those interfaces to drive the IEEE1588 hardware to achieve time synchronization on Ethernet and CAN. In a distributed control system containing multiple clocks, individual clocks tend to drift apart. A correction mechanism is necessary to synchronize the individual clocks to maintain global time, which is accurate to some requisite clock resolution.
The IEEE1588-2008 standard defines a precision clock synchronization protocol for networked measurement and control systems, including several messages used to exchange timing information.
The hardware assist logic required to achieve precision clock synchronization using the IEEE1588-2008 standard depends on the implementation.

Published as a Letter to the Editor in the Tomahawk Leader:
The Vice Presidential debate was fascinating to watch. It certainly portrayed the stark contrast between the two parties. One question was particularly enlightening. Since both men are Catholics, the moderator asked how their religious beliefs affected their view of abortion. Paul Ryan said that his faith was important to how he viewed every area of his life. On the other hand, Joe Biden said that he had been a practicing Catholic all his life, but he wasn't going to cram his religious views down the throat of women who wanted abortions. A woman has a right to do whatever she wants with her body. I agree to a point. If a woman wants a glob of fat surgically removed to make herself look better, no one would argue that she couldn't. However, Biden's premise is that if she wants to kill her baby because it interferes with her lifestyle she should have every right to do so. If we follow that argument to its natural conclusion then she should also be allowed to kill her husband, boyfriend, parents, neighbor or anyone else that interferes with her lifestyle. So why do we applaud her for one choice, but throw her in jail for the other?
I can already hear the protest, "A fetus isn't a baby. It's no different than a glob of fat." Science has already proven that isn't true. People only believe it because they want to. One hundred and fifty years ago we fought a bloody battle over whether African Americans were property or people. Today, Liberals have laid claim to setting African Americans free from slavery and tout their support of African American rights. They would never consider African Americans as non-human. But to Liberals African American babies are not human. Nor are babies of any other color. What hypocrisy. They champion civil rights for minorities, while at the same time denying civil rights for babies.
Our Declaration of Independence stands for the right of all its citizens to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness whether minorities or babies. However, millions of babies have been denied those rights through abortion. The greatness of a nation is shown by how it treats its weakest members. If the objective of Liberals is to tear down America they are succeeding.

Beloved by fashion editors worldwide for his timeless, clean-cut aesthetic, Michael Kors has played a pivotal role in defining American fashion. Raised on Long Island, Kors gave up his childhood career as an actor to become a teenage fashion designer — making and selling trendy clothing from his parents' home, then studying at FIT. In 1981 he launched his namesake ready-to-wear label and quickly developed a reputation for designing chic, sporty women's clothing that reinterpreted classic style with casual ease. In 2001 Kors added shoes and accessories to his flagship label, then a men's sportswear line in 2002. Two years later he expanded his empire again with the diffusion line MICHAEL Michael Kors and KORS Michael Kors footwear. The youngest-ever recipient of the CFDA's Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award, Kors continues to challenge himself with perenially fresh takes on handbags, watches, trousers, jackets, and other wardrobe staples. As one writer put it, "his clothes have never lost that clarity, that versatility, that American, self-possessed, no-brainer chic." None other than First Lady Michelle Obama might agree with that statement, having worn a black sleeveless Kors gown for her official White House portrait.

Wikipedia is funny without trying. Here is a quote from the page about the 60's scandalous musical Hair.
"Theatre writer Scott Miller described these themes in terms of the hippies' goals, targets and beliefs, as follows:"
Hippies had goals other then not showering, smoking pot constantly, tie dying everything and having sex with anyone ? I've met some dogs with seemingly similar goals if you substitute the tie dying with urinating and smoking pot with eating.
Off to hunt for more wikihumor……

From Goose Creek to George Street, from Kiawah to Columbia, the year 2012 brought change and controversy, heartbreak and fiasco to the Palmetto State and the Lowcountry sporting scene. The Post and Courier takes a look back at the top 10 stories of 2012:
Rory roars at Kiawah
Tiger Woods brought his yacht "Privacy" to Lowcountry waters, but Rory McIlroy brought his A game to the PGA Championship at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island for South Carolina's first major.
McIlroy blew away the field with a 67-66 weekend on Pete Dye's diabolical layout, winning his second major title by eight shots and cementing 2012 as the Year of Rory. Woods faded with a 74-72; only Kiawah's traffic planners had a more disappointing weekend.
2. No more Lattimore for USC
An entire state seemed to hold its breath at that moment on Oct. 28 when South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore took a blow to his knee from a Tennessee defender at Williams-Brice Stadium. From the sickening way Lattimore's leg twisted and flopped, it seemed his football career might be over, and players from both teams gathered around him in tribute. But the injury, bad as it was, could have been a lot worse, and Lattimore later announced his intention to enter the NFL draft, with Gamecocks Nation — and many others — rooting for him.
3. High school stories go big time
Goose Creek's fight against the S.C. High School League and Summerville coach John McKissick's 600th career win brought the national spotlight to the Lowcountry.
The Gators, defending state champs and nationally ranked, were denied a chance to repeat when they were kicked out of the playoffs for allegedly using an ineligible player. Goose Creek fought the ruling in court, winning one injunction before ultimately losing its appeal to the SCHSL. But outraged politicians have vowed change for the High School League, which could revamp its own rules next spring.
McKissick, meanwhile, claimed his 600th victory with a 37-21 win over Ashley Ridge on Oct. 26. The 86-year-old coach finished his 61st season at Summerville and shows no signs of slowing down.
4. Rise of Clowney
South Carolina's superb defensive end Jadeveon Clowney didn't make it to New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation, and lost out to Notre Dame's Manti Te'o for most major defensive awards.
But the 6-6, 256-pound rising junior is a national name after racking up 13 sacks and 21.5 tackles for loss this season, and is sure to be on pre-season Heisman lists in 2013.
5. Change comes to C of C
Bobby Cremins came to the rescue of College of Charleston basketball in 2006 after Gregg Marshall accepted the job one day and turned it down the next. But in January of 2012, a fatigued Cremins took a medical leave of absence that lasted the rest of the 2011-12 season, and then retired in March. The Cougars hired ex-Tulsa coach Doug Wojcik to take his place, but change was only starting on George Street. After months of debate and controversy, C of C announced in November that it was leaving the Southern Conference for the Colonial Athletic Association. The Cougars begin play in the CAA in 2013-14, and the wisdom — or folly — of the move will begin to reveal itself.
6. Tanner moves up, Martin in at USC
South Carolina baseball reached the end of an era in 2012 when coach Ray Tanner announced he was leaving the dugout to become the Gamecocks' athletic director. Tanner led USC to back-to-back national titles in 2010 and 2011, and to six College World Series trips. Assistant Chad Holbrook was promoted to head coach.
Meanwhile, USC surprised the college basketball world by luring Kansas State coach Frank Martin to Columbia. Martin led Kansas State to NCAA tournament bids in four of five seasons, including an Elite Eight run in 2010.
7. Lowcountry shines in NFL
Between Roddy White and A.J. Green, the Lowcountry can claim two of the top wide receivers in the NFL. White, from James Island Charter High School, has 87 catches for 1,309 yards and seven touchdowns for the Falcons. Green, from Summerville HS, has 95 catches for 1,324 yards and 11 TDs for the Bengals. Throw in Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap (Fort Dorchester HS) and Cardinals receiver Andre Roberts and Steelers cornerback Cortez Allen (both from The Citadel), among others, and the Lowcountry is well represented in the league.
8. Clemson scores, but can't soar
From the Orange Bowl debacle against West Virginia last January, to Sammy Watkins' preseason arrest and a fourth straight loss to rival South Carolina, Clemson's 2012 football season never quite lived up to the numbers the Tigers' high-powered offense produced. Clemson averaged 42 points and 518 yards per game, but came up short against Florida State and USC, and faces powerful LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
9. Citadel football wins, finally
The Bulldogs' 3-0 start this season included wins over top 10 FCS teams Georgia Southern and Appalachian State, the latter a shocking 52-28 beatdown in Boone. That earned the Bulldogs a national ranking and sparked hopes for their first SoCon title since 1992.The Citadel could not fulfill those hopes, but at 7-4 overall and 5-3 in the SoCon registered their best season since '92, and inspired hope for even better things in 2013.
10. Serena, dominant again
Serena Williams was untouchable on the clay courts of Daniel Island during the Family Circle Cup in April, winning the finals by a score of 6-0, 6-1 and whipping fifth-ranked Sam Stosur, 6-1,6-1, in the semis. The performance presaged the Summer of Serena. She won her 14th Grand Slam and fifth Wimbledon title, and teamed with sister Venus to win the Wimbledon doubles. And back at Wimbledon for the Olympic Games, she won the gold medal with a 6-0, 6-1 trouncing of Maria Sharapova.

For calves and heifers, every effort should be made to mitigate the effects of heat.
by A.F. Kertz
The author is the principal in ANDHIL, LLC, a St. Louis-based consulting firm.
At the July 2012 joint annual Animal and Dairy Science meetings held in Phoenix, Ariz., it was hot. A rather fitting symposium coincided with the temperature. The topic: heat stress.
On-farm considerations are rarely made for moderating heat stress on young stock. However, Cathy Williams of Louisiana State University and Bob James of Virginia Tech addressed this issue for calves and heifers, respectively.
Plentiful evidence has fostered our understanding of the influence the first several months of a calf's life has on growth, development and milk production potential. Calves endure cold or heat stress when the ambient temperature is below 60ºF or above 77ºF. Outside this range, calves must expend additional energy to stay warm or cool down. Heat stress is typically associated with Southern regions, but, last summer, extensive heat stress was experienced throughout the U.S.
Overheating in hutches
Hutches, a common housing option for unweaned calves, can become like small ovens when in direct sunlight during hot weather. And for many calves born in the summertime, the hutch is their only shade source. Calves try to compensate for rising temperatures by elevating respiration and water intake. The results we often see are a drop in dry matter intake (DMI), daily gain, fecal score (quality) and feed efficiency. The immune system, too, may be compromised. Dehydration can occur, and kidney function is impaired. If factors are not corrected, death may result.
In one study with polypropylene hutches, supplemental shade reduced temperature inside hutches and exercise areas, as well as the rectal temperature of calves. There was little effect on overall growth and health of calves.
In another study with more intensive measurements, outer and inner surface temperatures of hutches dropped with supplemental shade, hutch air temperature was reduced, and in the evening when heat stress was greatest, shaded calves had lower skin temperatures and respiration rates. Supplemental shade diminished the severity of heat stress experienced by calves housed in hutches in summer.
In a July 2012 Journal of Dairy Science study, simply elevating the rear of each hutch with a concrete block improved airflow. Internal hutch temperatures were lower than the environmental temperature. Elevating each hutch also lowered evening respiratory rates from 58 to 44 breaths per minute and lowered carbon dioxide levels.
In several other studies discussed, housing, bedding and summer cooling options were evaluated. Calves were housed in poly hutches or wire mesh pens inside a calf facility for one study. Nursery pens were bedded with either straw or sand. Weight gain and starter intake were greater, with less scouring, in the nursery with straw bedding. In a second trial, calves were housed in nursery pens, bedded with straw and had fans for 9 hours or no fans. Weight gain, feed efficiency and hip width change were greater, and respirations per minute were lower for calves cooled with fans.
Strategies to minimize heat stress effects on calves should consider housing types and modifications, providing shade and using cooler bedding such as sand.
Heifers often forgotten
Heifers for many reasons are even less likely to be considered for heat stress abatement: they are low input animals, fed low-cost feeds, housed in lower cost facilities and undergo low-intensity management. Records, too, are minimal with reproduction, age at first calving and first-lactation performance the major or only parameters measured.
Larger heifers have greater maintenance requirements during hot weather. Their body size makes it more difficult to relieve heat load, with a smaller surface area relative to body size. The use of poorer quality forages and lack of intensive housing systems, especially in the Southeastern U.S., make the risk of heat stress an even greater problem.
Heifer responses to heat stress include elevated water intake, along with reductions in ration dry matter intake (DMI) and reproductive performance. There is also a severe influence on prepartum dairy heifers resulting in diminished colostrum production and quality, with smaller calves and negative health impacts.
James reviewed several studies that showed that the best predictors of water intake and performance were the temperature humidity index, mean ambient temperature, minimum temperature and maximum temperature. Solar radiation and DMI had lesser influences. In one study, three days after heat stress ensued, water intake had risen 55 percent, while after seven days it jumped further to 65 percent. At the same time, DMI declined by 7 and 10 percent, respectively.
In a study of thermoneutral versus heat-stressed heifers, the second wave dominant follicle was larger and followed by ovulation in 9 to 11 days for thermal neutral heifers. In heat-stressed heifers, second wave follicles regressed and were followed by ovulatory third wave follicles.
Heat-stressed heifers had a lesser decline of plasma Ig during their last two weeks of pregnancy. This was associated with lower mean concentrations of IgG and IgA, total protein, casein, lactalbumin, fat, lactose, and short and medium chain fatty acids in colostrum. Heat-stressed heifers have smaller, less vigorous calves. These calves also have reduced colostral antibody absorption.
Needs vary by system
Heifer facilities can vary depending on whether they are extensive, where shade is essential, or intensive, which could include mechanically or naturally ventilated facilities. Stocking density is a major concern in either system.
Portable shades need to be provided for grazing situations. Trees are a short-term solution and usually will not survive as a shade provider. Shade needs depend on the extent of nighttime cooling. For intensive systems, open-side walls with an east to west orientation and roof overhang for summer shade are critical. These heifers may show an improved feed efficiency of 12 to 25 percent due to lower body maintenance expense.
Water must be plentiful and clean since, under "normal" situations, water intake is four times DMI. Limiting water intake limits DMI. Clean and noncontaminated water without high sulfates or iron helps ensure water and DMI.
Heifers of the greatest concern are the first postweaning pen and should be fed the highest quality forage. Limited amounts of silage should be fed to these heifers. Palatability and DMI are of greater concern for breeding age animals where heat detection and strength of estrus are key. Prepartum feeding, care and facilities help ensure colostrum production, calf weight and development.
For heat stress, it is important to address those groups most affected (youngest, breeding age, prepartum), ensure water availability and quality, and formulate for a reduced DMI. Develop facilities to mitigate heat stress if the expense can be offset with improved performance.

The niece of the most powerful man in the Church of Scientology is speaking out in support of Leah Remini's decision to leave the church.
"From what I understand, she was just fed up with the way she was being treated when she was following church policy," says Jenna Miscavige Hill, who left the church herself in 2005. "She is a tough woman and isn't the type to yield or turn a blind eye to a blatant injustice. People like that don't last too long in Scientology because they aren't easy to control."
Miscavige Hill, who wrote an explosive memoir, Beyond Belief: My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape (published by Harper Collins in February) is very familiar with the dangers of criticizing the church.
Remini, she says, "has been viewed as being a vocal advocate for the church. But what people may not know is that sometimes church members who are in trouble due to stepping out of line, are required to display their advocacy publicly in order to prove their dedication."
Many church members are eager to do this because of their fear of being separated from family and friends if they don't, especially if they have grown up in Scientology like she has."
Meanwhile, sources say, Remini's family, several of whom are high ranking members of the church, are supporting her decision and have vowed not to cut her off.
"I hope for her and her family that she has indeed left," says Miscavige Hill. "And I wish her well."
Leah Remini Is 'A Tough Woman,' Says Jenna Miscavige Hill

There are few ways to feel more connected to the coffee you drink than manually pulling a shot of espresso. And when I say manually, I mean more than grinding the coffee yourself, locking in the portafilter, and flipping a switch - I mean literally, physically pulling a shot with your own strength. Lever espresso machines like my vintage La Pavoni Europiccola aren't as fancy or even as convenient as their modern brethren, but there's something a little extra romantic about becoming part of the extraction process as you exert yourself trying to hit just the right pressure and flow rate. In the video above, I talk a bit about what it's like to own a machine such as the Europiccola, but here I'd like to discuss more about why I went that route in the first place and what I love about the process.
If you live in an area where the water is just plain nasty, then Global Customized Water is here to save your hot beverages (and your tastebuds).
Developed in partnership with a team of champion baristas, the Nuova Simonelli Mythos One is an all around redesign of what an espresso grinder should be. Its Clima Pro technology keeps its grinding area at a more static temperature, so you can get more uniform shots all day long no matter what your volume is. It also houses titanium-coated steel burrs for a longer life, and a unique membrane below the burrs to promote a fluffy and consistent grind to keep your shots at their best and your customers at their happiest.
The Peak Espresso Grinder is Mahlkonig's answer to the rising interest in espresso with higher extractions and richer, sweeter flavor. With its large cast-steel burrs producing a more uniform grind profile, and its advanced cooling system keeping the internal temperature regulated, the Peak is able to give excellent shots all day long. Its familiar body design now features a multi-colored display screen, for easy settings management and simplified programming. If your shop demands exceptional quality for every shot, the Peak is the friend you need when the heat is on and line is long.
Slayer's Teflon Dispersion Screen is a simple upgrade that will change the way you pull your shots. The screen's hole pattern and Teflon coating promote an even flow of water across the surface of your coffee puck, for a more even extraction to keep your shots tasting their best. It's also non-stick and easy to clean, making your life behind the bar that much easier.

Can I Modify my Crampon Without Compromising the Integrity?
I reversed and flipped a front point on my DMM Terminators to make a heel spur. This required cutting a notch in the frame of the crampons to fit the point. Have I seriously compromised the integrity of the crampon? Am I heading for Armageddon? Will the metal Schwarzenegger come after me?My modification also required widening some of the heel bail notches to allow for hardened steel nuts and bolts. These were supported by the extra spacers that came with the crampon to make it dual point.
—Caver J. Rowley | via online
Heel spurs were universally deemed cheating years ago when Will Gadd discovered he could hook them and sleep like a bat on the world's hardest mixed routes, but you obviously did not get the memo. Gear Guy respects a fellow DIYer (do-it-yourselfer), but DMM would surely not condone drilling and sawing their beautiful products, nor do I, and you may have structurally damaged your crampons. Simply drilling the bail holes a bit and notching the heel frame a little should be OK, assuming you didn't overheat the metal or remove too much of it, but your Frankenstein creation sounds like it took a bit more than just a simple nip here and there. If you feel like you might have damaged your crampons, you probably did. Get new ones. Gear Guy has spoken!

Long-overdue diploma
Guenter Burkhardt is a college graduate at age 81.
Burkhardt, who owns Good Earth Organics in Lancaster, finished school at 19. But he didn't receive his diploma until last month, when his German university mailed it to him 62 years late.
Burkhardt, who spoke to The Buffalo News for an article running Sunday, said he finished his course work at a school in Lower Saxony in February 1951.
But he didn't stick around for the graduation ceremony, when he would have received his diploma.
The missing document bothered him until finally, in January, he called his alma mater.
"I contacted the university. They said, 'This is too long ago. We don't keep records that long,' " Burkhardt said.
But the records of the State of Lower Saxony, or Niedersachsen, went back further, and the bureaucrats there dug up his diploma and mailed it to him.
The certificate – or "prufungszeugnis" – lists his major as "gartner," or horticulture. It spells his name "G�nter," which is how Burkhardt wrote it until he arrived in the United States, at 22, and immigration officials added the "e" when they couldn't type the umlaut above the "u."
Burkhardt has the diploma in a plastic sleeve tacked to his wall.
"I had tears in my eyes," he said of first pulling it out of the envelope, "because that is something I always wanted."
How does his garden grow?
The garden of Lockport Corporation Counsel John J. Ottaviano is featured in a recent issue of the magazine Upstate Gardeners Journal. Ottaviano said the photos of his backyard were taken last summer, after a crisis. "The week before the photo shoot, five deer got into my backyard and ate everything around my pond. My wife and I went out and spent $1,000 replacing everything," Ottaviano said.
"How about the deer lick in your backyard?" Alderman John Lombardi III asked.
No respect
Buffalonians haven't fared well in the monthly "60 Minutes"/Vanity Fair poll.
Last April, 36 percent of those polled said Millard Fillmore, our 13th president, never occupied the White House.
And last November, 1 percent of those polled identified Michael Tilson Thomas, who led the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra during the 1970s, as President Abraham Lincoln's assassin.
Now, a poll in the March issue of the magazine asked: Who is Harvey Weinstein?
We know him as a former UB student who started his career in show business as a concert promoter here. And 21 percent of those polled did accurately identify Weinstein as an Oscar-winning producer. But 59 percent didn't know or didn't answer.
And 10 percent thought he was Jimmy Stewart's imaginary rabbit friend from the movie "Harvey."
Courtroom dialogue
Cocaine salesman James Puckett found some of Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas' questions challenging in court last week.
"Have you consumed alcohol in the last 24 hours?" the judge asked, one of her standard questions for defendants who, like Puckett, are pleading guilty.
There was a pause. "He had to think about it," the judge noted .
But Puckett finally answered no.
"Have you ingested any illegal drugs in the last 24 hours?" Farkas asked.
Another pause. "I saw the eyes roll back," Farkas said.
Puckett said he had smoked marijuana two days previously.
"Have you ingested any other illegal drugs in the 24 hours?" Farkas asked.
"Not that I know of," Puckett said.
On further review, Puckett recalled taking some drugs the day before.
"Well, you don't look like you're under the influence of drugs today, unlike some other times when you came to court and I sent you home," the judge said.
"You sent him to jail," defense attorney James J. Faso Jr. said.
"Well, that's like home," she replied.

Great economical car to buy and own

Bought a used '95 in 2001 and had it until a few months ago. It was still running good but we got a Prius for the better mpg. It needed only routine maintenance and had a luxury feel (limited edition) that my wife really enjoyed. It leaked oil from several seals and gaskets but never enough to bother fixing. A good, solid Buick.

Best Car I've had!
by Rob from New Orleans | July 9, 2012
Bought my Buick LeSabre with 71K miles on it. I've got it up around 130K now and it's been rock solid. Standard things like breaks, tires, and now shocks, but all around no problems. Has a few leaks, but not bad enough to add oil between changes. I will probably get the gaskets replaced soon to stop that. 30+mpg on the highway, about 20mpg around town. Plenty of power, smooth ride without being "boaty", cruise control keeps me from getting tickets on road trips. Just a great ride all around!

Our family has had a 1990, 1995, 2002, and we are now buying our 4th (used) Buick LeSabre (1995), due to my husband's car getting totaled. The Buicks have been very dependable for my family, seem to have less repairs needed overall, in comparrison to other vehicles we've owned (Pontiac, Olds, Nissan, Ford, Dodge), and they last for miles and miles! Plus they're American made, quality GM products, and are nice to drive. You can count on a LeSabre to get you to work, store, or wherever you need to go. I would definately recommend them to anyone considering buying one! Unfortunately, the LeSabre model is no longer being made in new cars, but you really can't go wrong in getting a good used LeSabre, as long as the price is right for age and wear.

Almost perfect
by Khari, driver of many cars from Stevenson, WA | June 8, 2006
After driving a number of newer cars with all the bells and whistles, it was very refreshing to get behind the wheel of this Buick. Simple, comfortable and a great cruiser, the first thing I thought was 'ahh...road trip!' The driver's seat was very adjustable, and the Dynaride suspension makes it wonderful for long drives, or even short drives if you have back trouble. All in all a great, simple car; no included cup holders or extra gizmos, but you can get those at a parts store if you need them. My beef with it is the less than reliable electronic engine components, ie: the control modules have not been properly installed on my car, so I've had quite a bit of electrical repair to do, but I suspect it had do to poor maintenence, as the car I bought was used. If it had not been monkeyed with though, I think it would be a perfect cruiser car. Great smooth acceleration and shifting, not much 'waddle' or drift, and surprisingly good milage for such a big engine.

Milk stabilization poll
Milk stabilization poll
With all the recent discussion around possible dairy legislation in 2011, it is no wonder that there are so many different opinions, and dollar figures, on the subject. On Monday's blog (Two studies find milk stabilization benefits producers), we noted that the difference in agreement between the IDFA (International Dairy Foods Association) and NMPF (National Milk Producers Federation) was nearly $3.8 billion.
In the end, it is up to our elected officials in Washington, D.C., to make the final decisions. Of course, the two aforementioned organizations both have great lobbying influence on Capitol Hill. Is this a case of two Goliaths battling it out? Or, will David step in and steal the show?
We would like to know where the readers of this blog side. Do you have a position, or are you still on the fence?

D'yer Mak'er (intended to be pronounced with a British non-rhotic accent as "jah-may-kah") is a song by Led Zeppelin, from their 1973 album Houses of the Holy. The name of the song is derived from Jamaica and is a play on words based on the joke, "My wife's on vacation in the West Indies." "Jamaica?" "No, it was her idea." The title was chosen because it reflects the reggae flavor of the song. Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant has said that he finds it amusing when American fans pronounce the title as "Dyer Maker."

Person 2: " Well D'yer Mak'er?"
Person 2: " Well D'yer Mak'er?"
от Quacker! 28 март 2010
A renown Led Zeppelin song, which is also meant to actually say "did you make her" because of the sexual innuendos and lyrics of the song.
D'yer mak'er or did she chose to have sex with you on her own?

Apple to unveil iPhone 5S on Sept 10th, plastic iPhone 5C coming in October

Apple is preparing a massive refresh of its whole mobile lineup on September 10th. Cupertino will introduce a new iPhone, and new generations of its 9.7-inch iPad and 7.9-inch iPad mini…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Confusing article. No release with Apple has ever happened on the announcment day.
16. homineyhominey (Posts: 29; Member since: 10 Mar 2011)
For the iPhones and iPads you are correct, but with iPods, they would announce and they would be available that same day.
29. scott5626 (Posts: 49; Member since: 01 Sep 2009)
True but no one here is talking about iPods.

Way to finish up the fanboyism strong Victor "Analysts once again predict record sales for the new Apple lineup..." Yearly refreshes of same ol same ol products being sold to the same loyal group who are getting sick of yearly refreshes means I PREDICT NON RECORD SALES as Apple is losing so much ground in popularity, innovation and quality since Steve Jobs died, it isn't even funny how hard your biased iDevice lover/writers are losing it

and yes, i do realize I am coming on strong lately but this is supposed to be a unbiased website not the cultofapple. For every ridiculous fanboy written article, iCounter, sorry, iCringe like so many at the way Apple articles are being spun here. Write better articles, write with less fanboyism or get blasted by those who don't view technology through the very narrow vision of Apple''s eye
9. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
and when you comment on these articles why don't you try to be less of a fanboy...
look at your name dude?! but you criticize a writer for posting news his own way.
13. appleDOESNT.com (banned) (Posts: 456; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
The way Apple is handled here is like it's a Apple fan site. That isn't cool in my book. This is NOT a apple fan website, where people go to fanboy up on everything apple. Phone arena should write their articles with less bIOS and is why this site has such opposing forces in the comment section.
Hmmm, maybe that is what they are going for IDK because nearly every article on Apple has a iHappy ending and nearly every article on Android is ripe with backhanded comments >(
20. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
though i agree with you,
i feel like they are at least balancing the playing field out.
no matter what/how they write about apple here.
you guys who side with android are going to post negative comments regardless.
A new visitor to this site would think this is cultofandroid just by looking at the comment threads.
Apple is a big business in the mobile world all PA is doing is keeping their reputation high...
either way... there are lots of viewers here that are looking forward to apples new line up and also enjoy a happier tone displayed in some apple articles.

Dude, what in the world are you talking about?! Other than Victor, this is the most pro-Android website I have been to - especially when it comes to it's readers! It's unbelievable how childish all Android users act when an Apple article comes out. You Android fans do nothing but bash and criticize Apple in any way possible - it's pathetic! I mean, hell, look at your user name! There is nothing Victor said in this article that isn't true. You're completely blind and naive if you don't think the new iPhone 5S will be a huge hit, regardless of how "innovative or not" the phone is. Get off your damn Android high horse and give credit when due.
25. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
WHERE'S DARKKJEDII WHEN YOU NEED HIM? he's great at putting these android lames in their place...smh
I respect this site because it is pretty quick with posting current information about phones...
but its the dumb comment threads that make it a bad experience.
Sept 10 is the announcement date for Apple's products... what's wrong with this news???
its like they expect everyone to have an android phone... I don't want an android phone.

Kinda like how the s4 and note3 were, and are yearly refreshes of the s3 and note2, and every other galaxy phone now look the same? Dude stop being this anti apple fanboy, you're achieving nothing with it. Apple knows what's its doing as a company, grill Cook all you want, but the guy is doing the job, Jobs placed him in to do. You can predict all you want, the rest of us will buy, and enjoy our purchases.

dj, i do not believe you will disagree that to be a Gates or a Jobs and create the empires they did is something a little more special than just picking the next best guy for the job. Those two are one-of-a-kinds and geniuses. There are very few individuals on earth like Gates and Jobs and they certainly are not Cook and Balmer. No reasonable person would say otherwise IMO
Now with that said, Cook may do much better than Balmer in the long run cause that guy basically ran MS into the ground the last decade or so :(

So Apple is just taking parts from their other tablet but can't design something new? I think Apple need too hire some new ENGINEER that doesn't make their Ipads or Iphone look the same every year.

8. drdwr (Posts: 6; Member since: 22 Jul 2013)
I don't think so. As Troll says - whether you like Apple or not - their designs are iconic and instantly recognisable. The designs are clearly popular (and widely copied), and I am interested to know what you think is so wrong that they should change?
(Trying to have a proper discussion, not just a flame war.)
11. appleDOESNT.com (banned) (Posts: 456; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
i agree and iOS6 and before was iconic. imo iOS7 is going to be a big blow to what is Apple to people. Skeuomorphism and a similar looking and functioning OS for all these years made Apple great, instantly recognizable, easy to use and original (all very big reasons why Apple is easier to use and totally stood out from Android).
They didn't need to dump the look, just modernize it a bit (Skeuomorphism rocks imo and a zillion Applefans iKnow agree). Again, IMO Jobs would never of let iOS7 happen and Jobs was Apple and while yes I am guessing at that, sorry, no chance, never would he of let iOS7 happen! or the plastic C for that matter, no chance!
15. drdwr (Posts: 6; Member since: 22 Jul 2013)
Yes - at risk of wishing for the return of Scott Forstall! - I think it's nice to use yellow notepaper for notes, or a compass that looks like a ship's compass.
I can see the argument for cleaning and tidying the interface - a bit like the leap from Windows 95 to Vista - but I cannot see the logic in icons like "photos" or "games center". They don't represent anything - I guess they were done at 4:55pm on a Friday.
I think a lot of the appeal of Apple is that they stick with good designs and provide long-term support. My three-year-old iPhone 4 will get most of iOS 7, whereas my Sony Xperia handsets were always stuck in limbo until a minor update would address some of the bugs at launch.
18. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
@ drdw I know its a iconic design. But when a average consumer that buys a iPad after owning the 1st or 2nd most of them won't know the difference. That's the only thing.
36. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2184; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
You don't even read what you have typed before you hit "Post Reply," do you? The two best selling tablets on the market are the iPad and iPad Mini, and the knock against the full-sized iPad was that it is slightly oversized and overweight. They got it right on the Mini the first time, with thin bezels and lightweight, so of course the full-sized iPad would be subjected to some of those design choice in a bid to improve ergonomics. That's called "common sense," and you should become familiar with it at some point in your life.

Looking forward to the new iP5s™
Wonder what the new iPad5 will have...
2Gb Ram
400 + Ppi
New PowerVrSgx Rouge 6series Gpu, or will have 6 or 8x Pvrsgx554Mp6, Mp8
A7" Cpu at 1.8Ghz...
17. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
No chance the new iPad will have 400+ ppi. It will more than likely keep the same resolution of the last two, which isn't a bad thing.

@scott, took the words out of my mouth. Ship date is usually 10 - 14 days after announcement date.

if you like cars, I just want a rivalry like an Evo vs an STi. apple vs android. I have had one android in my life 6 years ago, and haven't switched from an iPhone since. I'm just getting bored with the iPhone now, I feel left behind. I'm not a fanboy or know any specs, I'm just being real, I see more women and 3 year olds with iPhones cause it's so basic. no offense ladies.

Use an s4 for 24 hours. You will come running back. Iphone is boring but id take boring over lag and crashing any day.
19. homineyhominey (Posts: 29; Member since: 10 Mar 2011)
The S4 and the entire Galaxy line now are pretty much bug free. I have had my S3 for a year, and have had zero issues with it at all. I download app after app and my phone doesn't freeze at all. I know I'm considered lucky, but honestly, I have seen so many issues with the iPhones as well. They have Genius bars with huge wait times for a reason.
26. bucky (Posts: 2578; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
You are absolutely correct. I actually liked my time with the galaxy s3. As of right now my s4 can't play music and browsing the Web at the same time without lagging.

Apple isn't just going to release a higher resolution iPad mini just because the Nexus 7 did. It doesn't work that way. I am pretty positive that they will not release a retina mini until they can can get the iPad 3/4 resolution into a 7.9 inch screen. Whether or not that is now I do not know but if I were to guess, I don't think they can do it yet without making the iPad mini fat.
Apple has always stuck to their standards that make App development, their bread and butter, effortlessly across all platforms. The only way they can do that is by using resolutions that scale perfectly from one platform to the other. They are not going to just break that trend just for the Nexus 7. Especially after how successful the iPad mini and all the low red Samsung tablets have been. Not to mention the fact that they kept the iPad 2 and mini low res and those are their two most successful tablets.
Apple reuses the resolution at least twice. IPad 1 and 2 are the same and the iPad 3 and 4. I wouldn't expect a retina mini.
31. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
What should be interesting is to see how Anandtech and the Verge suck on Apple's cock. Anadtech already claimed that it was the most accurate display ever right after Apple got smoked in PPI. It should be interesting to see what they can possibly champion as being more important just so they can claim Apple still makes the best screen. Should be good to see how far they can reach. LOL Good times.
I don't see the iPad 5 screen changing much either.

The final day for Not Just Fabrics is Thursday.
Owner Harper Bech-Correa had intended to relocate shortly after closing her shop at 1610 Sam Rittenberg Blvd. in West Ashley at month's end, but the site she was interested in fell through and she has decided to close indefinitely.
Some items are now marked down up to 70 percent. She also is selling some equipment and fixtures.
She does intend to reopen eventually, just in a smaller space than the current 13,000-square-foot shop, which she bought from the previous owner four years ago after working with him for 11 years in the 23-year-old business. Look for the shop to re-emerge in about four to six months.
Also closing is Knit, a knitting shop at 87 Wentworth St. in downtown Charleston. It's last day is May 4. All stock is on sale. Even the fixtures can be bought. The business, co-owned by Gay Murrill and Faye Slater, is for sale as well. Even the three-story building, with two upstairs apartments over the business, can be bought, Murrill said. Special orders will be curtailed, and sale items cannot be returned.
Murrill started Knit with her daughter, Mollie Howey, at 7 Charlotte St. eight years ago before moving to the 1,500-square-foot Wentworth shop after one year. Murrill plans to spend her summers outside Boone, N.C., where she has a house, and maintain her house on James Island as well. Slater, of James Island also, is unsure what she plans to do.
Bottoms up
F&J Beverage Co. founders John Glenn and Joe Good have now added a new product to their mixer offerings. In addition to Fat and Juicy Bloody Mary Mix, they now offer Fat and Juicy Margarita Mix. The new mix combines key limes with a hint of orange and tamarind. F&J's brand is available in more than 6,000 retailers and restaurants in 46 states and in four foreign countries.
Filling in
Mount Holly Shopping Center at 604 St. James Ave. in Goose Creek will be fully occupied later this spring when Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt opens, according to Trey Lucy and Blair Belk of Lincoln Harris real estate firm. The center is across from Walmart on U.S. Highway 176.
Signing on
Mount Pleasant has a new sign store. Signarama is now open at 1303 Ben Sawyer Blvd., Suite 2. Local resident Andy Bonner is the owner. The company has nearly 900 stores in more than 50 countries and uses cutting-edge industry software and production techniques to provide sign and graphic services to businesses.
Stepping up
Biggby Coffee is holding a fundraising event through March 20 for the Summerville Miracle League, an adaptive baseball program for children and adults with special needs. One dollar from every Grande or Super specialty beverage purchased will be donated to the league. Shops are at 717 Trolley Road in Summerville and 8465 Dorchester Road in North Charleston.
Still operating
Robot Candy Co. at 322 King St. will close its downtown Charleston store June 1 when its lease expires, though the owners hope to add another location downtown.
Look for their other shop at 644 Long Point Road in Belle Hall Shopping Center in Mount Pleasant.

PITTSBURGH - Whatever relief the Pittsburgh Steelers felt over having safety Troy Polamalu back in the lineup didn't last long.
Polamalu, who missed two games over three weeks with a strained right calf muscle, re-injured his leg early in Sunday's 16-14 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Heinz Field.
Polamalu didn't return to the game, and sat on the bench with his leg heavily wrapped. It looked as though he was reluctant to put any weight on his leg.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich
Mike Wallace can't haul in a pass in front of Philadelphia's Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
"We don't know the extent of it," was all coach Mike Tomlin would say about Polamalu's injury.
The Steelers don't have much time to recover. Their next game is Thursday night in Tennessee.
"Working on a short week, we'll see," Tomlin said.
The Steelers also lost linebacker LaMarr Woodley in the first half with a right hamstring injury.
Tomlin said he had no information on Woodley's prognosis.
"Working on a short week is probably not a good sign, but we'll go day to day," Tomlin said.
There was a positive injury-related development for the defense: Linebacker James Harrison, who had not played this season because of lingering issues associated with knee surgery, started and played the full game.
Tomlin praised Harrison's commitment to conditioning in allowing him to return and be totally involved immediately.
"We're going to watch him, but it became evident that he was game-ready from a conditioning standpoint," Tomlin said. "It was a tight ballgame and we needed his services."
Asked to grade his game, Harrison said, "C-minus" and added that he has to work to build his endurance.
"I was happy I was able to play the whole game," he said.
Harrison said that mobile Eagles quarterback Michael Vick presented problems as the Steelers tried to stay on the right side of the NFL's rules on helmet-to-helmet hits. He said that Vick's shiftiness sometimes turns a legal hit into one that gets reviewed by the NFL.
"At the last second, he can dip his head," Harrison said.
With Woodley out, Jason Worilds got more playing time, and Lawrence Timmons was more of a presence than he has been.
"Our defense stood up today," Timmons said. "A good team is always defined by what they do after losses. Mike Tomlin did a really good job of preparing us the whole week."
The Steelers forced four Eagles fumbles, three of them by quarterback Michael Vick. Vick lost two.
"The edge we were playing with, everybody was running to the ball and having fun out there," Timmons said. "That's what it's all about."
Ready to run
When running back Rashard Mendenhall was knocked out at the end of last season by a knee injury that required surgery, there was concern he might miss most of this season.
Instead, Mendenhall was back for the Steelers' fourth game. He carried the ball 14 times for 81 yards to lead the Steelers. He also caught 20 passes for 20 more yards. He also gave the Steelers a scare when he fumbled the ball out of bounds after one run.
"I thought it was a good start," Tomlin said. "He's always a highly-conditioned guy. Obviously he has to get a little more ball security. I thought he not only ran hard and caught the ball, but he was a source of energy for the unit. That's what great players do. They inspire those around them. I thought he did that for the group."
Mendenhall became the Steelers' second leading rusher for the season with Sunday's performance. That speaks to how the running game has suffered in his absence.
"He looked great," Ben Roethlisberger said. "I don't know if he feels good, but I'm sure he does. He didn't really make too many big shots, and he made some big plays. We just hope he made it out of this game without any more injury."
Mendenhall took a low-key approach to his return, trying not the focus too much on it and just going through his normal game preparation.
"I felt comfortable throughout the week," he said. "I just wanted to go out there and play the best I could. I was able to do that."
Mendenhall scored a touchdown, taking a swing pass from Roethlisberger at the 20, and running 13 yards for the Steelers' first score. Statisticians ruled the pass a lateral, so the touchdown is considered a rushing attempt.
"I guess Ben didn't have anywhere to go with the ball, so I was an outlet," Mendenhall said. "A one-on-one running back wants to win those and I was able to do that."
Mendenhall said he didn't anticipate any problems being ready to play again on Thursday.
"They held me out some today," he said. "I wasn't in for an extensive amount of plays. We'll see how it shakes out, but I'm not worried about it."
Backing him up
Colon is one of Roethlisberger's close friends, so he was dismayed to see him get called for four penalties.
"Willie is a fighter," Roethlisberger said. "He's a tough son of a gun. He's putting guys on their backs. Unfortunately he's getting [penalty] calls. You look at it - and without getting fined for saying something about the officiating - I think Willie is just flat-out pancaking people.
"He's putting them on their backs, and defensive linemen are just kind of throwing their hands up because there's nothing else they can do. I stay positive with him, and he needs to stay positive because he's doing a great job."
Missing Wallace
Mike Wallace wasn't much of a factor, catching just two of the eight passes thrown in his direction for 17 yards.
Roethlisberger said Wallace was frustrated by the Eagles' tight coverage.
"Those defensive backs are good," he said. "It's a frustrating day because there are so many plays you feel you left out there. That's what I told him. We can be frustrated right now, but let's move on. And he'll move on. He'll be fine. He's frustrated because he holds himself to such a high standard, and that's good. You want that."
Roethlisberger was doubled over in pain during the last drive, but recovered.
"I just got hit in the wrong spot, if you know what I mean," he said.
Keeping secrets
Tomlin's answers to questions have become almost comically brief. He declined to answer a question about whether Emmanuel Sanders was the primary receiver on a third down play on the winning drive.
"I'm not going to go through the progression with you," Tomlin said. "Obviously he was an option."
That was the final question of the post-game session.
Earlier, Tomlin had these exchanges:
Q: Is it troubling the defense gave up a fourth quarter lead again?
Q: Does the fourth quarter bring out the best in Roethlisberger?
Staying clean
Roethlisberger was not sacked in the game.
"We tried to get him as best we could," Eagles defensive end Trent Cole said. "He gets the ball fast, takes two steps and throws the ball fast."
Coach Andy Reid added, "We had pressure. We had chances to get our hands on him. He's a big strong guy. You have to get him down once you have your hands on him. We knew that was an issue. That's been an issue with every team that's played him. We just needed to do a better job."
Gambling man
Reid went for it twice on the fourth down on the Eagles' final scoring drive. One of those gambles came on 4th-and-1 from his own 30.
"I wanted to win the game," he said. "You're in a tough place to win games. Their home record is unbelievable. We had the ball in our hands and I wanted to take care of it and score. That's what we did."
Unhappy homecoming
Former Pitt star LeSean (Shady) McCoy had 53 yards on 16 carries, an average of 3.3 yards. His longest run was 10 yards. McCoy also caught four passes for 27 yards, including a 15-yard touchdown.
Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson fumbled in the end zone to kill one scoring drive.
"That's always frustrating," McCoy said. "We felt like we could drive on them. That kind of changed the game a little bit."
Stats and streaks
n The Steelers rushed for 136 yards, their first 100-yard game of the season. They hadn't gone this deep into a season without running for 100 yards in a game since 1950.
n Since the 1970 merger, the Steelers are 100-60-1 against the NFC, including Super Bowl results.
n Roethlisberger had his 25th career fourth quarter winning drive, the first since Sept. 25, 2011 at Indianapolis. He completed four of five passes for 50 yards on the last drive.
n Heath Miller topped 4,000 receiving yards (4,034) becoming the eighth Steelers player to reach that level.
