AMD's Radeon HD 7000 Series Graphics Cards Reportedly Receiving Price Cuts Soon (Update: AMD denies further price cuts)
Subject: Graphics Cards | September 13, 2012 - 05:25 PM | Tim Verry

Update: AMD has stated that there will not be any price cuts.
NVIDIA launched two budget Kepler-based graphics cards today, and the sub-$250 GPUs are competitively priced. The GTX 650 is a card with an MSRP of $109 and is matched against the Radeon 7750 (which retails for around $110 depending on manufacturer). Further, the $229 GTX 660 is pitted against the Radeon 7850 – an approximately $220 card (some manufacturers beat that price, others are priced higher).
The AMD Radeon HD 7850 Graphics Card from our review.
And while you can find these AMD graphics cards for slightly less than the NVIDIA competition, the green team GPU is a faster card in most games (especially at 1080p). In an attempt to sway gamers towards the AMD choice, the company is preparing to cut prices on the entire 7000-series line – including the 7750 and 7850. These are cuts on the, erm, arleady-cut prices announced last month.
The Price cuts are as follows:
|AMD Radeon HD GPU
|New Slashed Prices
|7970 GHz Edition
|7950 Boost Edition
These prices are almost certainly for reference designs, and you can naturally expect to pay for any factory overclocked model. What these price cuts mean, though is that the base versions are now cheaper to get ahold of, which is a good thing (for gamers, not so much for AMD heh).
When specifically talking about the price cuts as a response to budget Kepler cards, both the 7750 and 7850 can be had for anywhere between $5 and $20 cheaper in general. That's is ~$20 extra dollars that you could devote to more RAM or put you over the edge into getting a better quality PSU. It definitely makes the decision to go AMD or NVIDIA a bit more difficult (but in an exciting/good way).
This is not the first time that AMD has slashed prices on its 7000 series graphics cards and now that it has competition on all fronts, it will be interesting to see how all the prices finally shake out to be. Interestingly, Softpedia seems to have posted the price cut information on Tuesday (two days before Kepler) but states that the cuts will not go into effect until next week – though Newegg seems to have taken some initiative of its own by pricing certain cards at the new prices already. This may have technically been more of a pre-emptive move than a reactionary one, but either way the budget gaming section of the market just got exciting again!
Do the impending price cuts have you reconsidering your budget GPU choice, or are you set on the new Kepler hardware?

Introduction, Virtual V-Sync Testing
In my recent review of the Origin EON11-S portable gaming laptop I noted that the performance of the laptop was far behind that of a larger 15.6" or 17.3" model. The laptop won a gold award despite this, as all laptops of this size are bound to physics, but it was an issue worth nothing.
Origin surprised me by responding that they had something in the works that might buff up performance. This confused me. Were they going to cast a spell on it? Would they beam in a beefier GPU? What could they possibly do that would increase performance without changing the hardware?
Now I have the answer. It's called Lucid VirtuMVP and it uses your existing integrated GPU to improve performance. As with Lucid's other products, VirtuMVP makes it possible for two different GPUs – in this case, your integrated GPU and your discrete GPU – to work together. It's not magic – just ingenuity. Let's take a closer look.
NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti Cards For Sale at CompUSA
Subject: Graphics Cards | August 15, 2012 - 01:35 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nvidia, kepler, gtx 660ti, gpu boost, gpu
Gamers have been eagerly awaiting the release of the midrange NVIDIA graphics card thanks to some rather enticing rumors and leaks. Due to launch sometime soon, the GTX 660 Ti is packing some quality hardware and may be the next 8800GT as far as popularity levels with gamers craving the best price/performance. However, that is dependent on pricing–which has been up in the air for a while. Rumored prices have included an MSRP of $349 and retail pre-orders for $299 and just under $400 (and guesses everywhere in between).
US-based computer retailer CompUSA has provided us with further information that suggests the price will, in fact, be the ever-desired $299 price point rather than previous rumors that suggested it would be priced closer to the GTX 670. Gamers rejoice!
Specifically, a reference version of the PNY-manufactured NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti recently appears on CompUSA's website where customers could purchase it. This card is listed as being model number "VCGGTX660TXPB-C Bundle." While it is unclear what the "-C" designator means, it is more proof that it is the same (or a very similar) model as the card leaked by MacMall (when it showed up for pre-order ahead of the release date). Speaking of bundles, the CompUSA card gets even better as it is the PNY GTX 660 Ti and a game coupon for Borderlands 2 for the $299 price–not bad at all.
While I have not personally ordered one (so I can't confirm if CompUSA will actually sell it to me ahead of the official release or if it was just a mistake on its part for making the store page live early), you can try to get your hands on the 660 Ti now for $299 USD.
I'm extremely happy to see the $299 price, and I look forward to see the cards from other manufacturers. Custom and factory overclocked cards should also be interesting as far as pricing and where they fit compared to saving up a bit more money and simply going with a GTX 670. What do you think, will you be picking one of these graphics cards up?
Sapphire Launches 6GB TOXIC 7970 Graphics Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 17, 2012 - 12:02 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: toxic edition, sapphire, radeon, overclocked GPU, gpu, 7970 ghz edition
GPU add-in-board partner Sapphire Technology has launched a new factory overclocked graphics card based on the AMD 7970 GHz Edition GPU (which we did a live video review of recently). That particular chip is built on the 28nm Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture and brings several improvements over the initial (non GHz Edition) 7970 GPU. The main difference between the two is that the GHz variant is a higher binned part that also features a new GPU boost technology similar to NVIDIA's dynamic overclocking function. The new Sapphire Toxic card takes that chip and pushes it to the max with two levels of factory overclocked settings.
Packing the company's custom dual 90mm fan and heatpipe-equipped Vapor-X cooler, the HD 7970 TOXIC Edition features 6GB of GDDR5 memory, 2,048 stream processors, and a 7970 GHz Edition GPU. Out of the box, the card has a base GPU clockspeed of 1050 MHz and a boost speed of 1100 MHz. On the memory side of things, it runs the GDDR5 at 6,000 MHz (effective). When you press a button – which the company calls the Lethal Boost Button – the base clockspeed becomes 1100 MHz and the boost speed becomes 1200 MHz. The Lethal Boost also overclocks the memory to 6400 MHz (effective).
The card also includes a 12 layer black PCB with a new eight phase power design package for the GPU and an additional power phase for the VDDCI and MVDD along with other high-end goodies to deliver the stable voltage necessary for the high factory overclocks. Rear IO on the graphics card includes two DVI ports – one dual link and one single link – one mini-DisplayPort, and one full-sized HDMI port. In all, it is a dual slot card and measures 275mm in length, and 115mm wide. You will be able to purchase the Toxic edition card for $680. It looks like a really good card, but it's not cheap.
Point of View Launches Overclocked GeForce GT 640, Still DDR3
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 16, 2012 - 11:23 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Overclocked, nvidia, gt640, gpu, gddr3
Interestingly, in spite of recent rumors suggesting that NVIDIA is refreshing the low-end GeForce GT 640 graphics card with GDDR5 memory, add-in-board partner Point Of View is launching an overclocked GT 640. What's interesting is that the new card will be packing the older GDDR3. The card will come in two SKUs, a 1GB and a 2GB model – both with 384 CUDA cores. Using a 128-bit memory interface and a PCI-E 3.0 card interface, the card is based on NVIDIA's 28nm "Kepler" GPU.
In addition to the GDDR3 memory, specifications include a 1006 MHz graphics clock, and 2020 MHz memory clock. Compared to the reference GT 640, the overclocked GT 640 has a healthy boost. The reference GPU clock speed is only 900 MHz while the memory clock speed is 1800 Mhz, meaning the Point of View TGT Ultra Charged has a 106 MHz GPU and 220 MHz memory overclock – very respectable. As Techpowerup notes, the factory overclocked card will cost around or € 115 with VAT tax (around $120 USD). That puts this card in between an AMD 7750 and AMD 7770. The overclocks should help it to get closer to the performance of the 7750, but it is still rather difficult to justify. Especially with a refreshed version with GDDR5 rumored to be in the works, I would hold off on buying any current GT 640 cards, and I think from our recent podcast Ryan would agree with me.\
What do you think though; let us know in the comments below. You can read more about the new factory overclocked GeForce GT 640 over at TechPowerUp.

NVIDIA Preparing New Mid-range Kepler Graphics Cards
Subject: General Tech | July 10, 2012 - 07:20 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nvidia, kepler, gtx 660 Ti, gtx 660, gtx 650 Ti, gtx 640, graphics cards, gpu
We have seen and reviewed NVIDIA's high-end Kepler graphics cards, but the company's mid-range line has been even harder to find than the GTX 680 was a couple months ago. That may be about to change though, as recent rumors suggest that the company is preparing at least three mid-range graphics cards for public release.
The current GT 640. Expect the refresh to look very similar.
The cheapest rumored card is a refresh of the existing GeForce GT 640. The refresh is slated for an August 2012 release and it takes the existing GK107 GPU with 384 CUDA cores and pairs it with GDDR5 memory instead of the currently used GDDR3. Videocardz predicts that the move to GDDR5 will bump the price up to a bit over $100.
The next card up will reportedly cost around $150 and will be released in August. The GeForce GT 650 Ti will allegedly be based around the GK106 GPU with 960 CUDA cores enabled. It will likely be paired with up to 2GB of GDDR5 memory and a 192-bit memory interface. This card will likely be the high-end HTPC and/or very entry level gaming card on the NVIDIA side.
However, for those serious about wanting to get into gaming, they should probably spend a bit more on the GPU and get at least the GTX 660. This rumored card is using a GK106 GPU with 1152 CUDA cores enabled and an alleged 1.5GB of GDDR5 memory with a 192-bit interface. As far as pricing, it will be positioned between the GT 650 Ti and the GeForce GTX 670 – somewhere in the $200-300 range.
Interestingly, if rumors turn out to be true, there may be yet another new graphics card that would fill the performance (and price) void between the GTX 660 and GTX 670: the GeForce GTX 660 Ti. Allegedly, the GTX 660 Ti would be very close to the GTX 670 as far as specifications are concerned. Both cards are based on the GK104 Kepler GPU (which we recently reviewed) and would have 1344 CUDA cores enabled. Where the two differ in the predicted specifications is memory. While the GeForce GTX 670 has either 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit interface, the GTX 660 Ti will have 1.5GB or 3GB of GDDR5 memory with a 192-bit interface. This card is also predicted to be released in August with the above mentioned NVIDIA GPUs. You can expect this card to be priced in the $300 to $400 dollar range, with an emphasis on the former for reference designs with 1.5GB of memory.
All these rumored cards should really help NVIDIA to flesh out its Kepler lineup and take on AMD on all fronts. These cards (assuming the rumors hold true, of course) should also be much easier to find and get a hold of since they are probably using binned chips that could not be sold as a GTX 670 or GTX 680 which were difficult to find in stock at launch.
What do you think about these rumors, do they sound plausible? Have you been holding off on Kepler until cheaper cards are released? Let us know in the comments below. You can find more information on the rumored graphics cards here.
Rumor: 7950 GHz Edition with GPU Boost Coming Soon?
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 7, 2012 - 05:07 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: rumor, hd 7950 GHz edition, graphics card, gpu boost, gpu, amd
An interesting rumor floating around the internet concerns a new AMD 7950 graphics card. Specifically, a forum post over at EXPReview hinted at a new GHz Edition 7950 card. They reference a source and a photo of a graphics card with GHz Edition markings and two six-pin PCI-E power connectors. They further quoted a source that said AMD would be releasing a fourth card to its 7000-series lineup. In other words, there was not a whole lot to go on.
The alleged AMD Radeon HD 7950 GHz Edition graphics card.
I saw the rumor a couple of days ago, but decided to let it sink in for a bit before writing about it. After some thought and internal conversations, I think a 7950 GHz edition is plausible, and certainly a possibility. With the addition of the HD 7970 GHz Edition (which we recently reviewed), AMD now has a 7900 series part with its new GPU Boost (aka Powertune Boost) technology. Unfortunately, that tech can not simply be rolled out to the other existing 7900 series cards meaning that the original 7950 and 7970 are stuck without boost, leaving a gap in its lineup. Because of that, it seems logical that AMD would want to fill in that gap with a refreshed 7950 part that has higher clocks and GPU boost.
The 7970 GHz Edition helped AMD stay competitive with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 and enabled AMD to (re)claim it had the fastest single GPU card. That card was enabled by AMD finding extra headroom and higher bins in its 28nm GPUs. The current Radeon HD 7950 runs at an 800 MHz GPU clock speed and a 5GHz GDDR5 effective clock speed. It is unclear if the company's chips have enough headroom that they are able to overclock 7950 oriented silicon or if they are simply reworking the bins such that the 7950 GHz Edition is either using silicon that just barely can't make the cut as a 7970 GHz Edition or AMD is artificially locking down 7970 GHz chips to make these proposed 7950 GHz GPUs. Apart from the increased clock speeds and GPU Boost, the rumored card is said to maintain the same hardware specifications as the existing 7950. Mainly, that means 1,792 stream processors, 112 texture units, and the same number of transistors – 4.31 billion – on a 28nm process. In comparison, the 7970 has 2,048 stream processors and 128 texture units.
As mentioned above, such a chip sounds like a logical step for AMD. By refreshing the 7950 with higher clock speeds and adding GPU Boost functionality it will be fight with the GeForce 670 for the performance crown, and may even come close to 680/7970 performance when overclocked further. I do have a couple of questions about this rumored card, however. Specifically, I am wondering if AMD will simply refresh the 7900 series cards and let the original releases fade out as the stock dwindles or if they will keep them around. I'm leaning towards the later but it will still be interesting to see, and it also makes me wonder how much a 7950 GHz Edition will cost me.
I'm curious what you think about the rumor though, do you think it has any merit? And assuming this is legit, where do you think it will stand performance-wise versus NVIDIA's products?
If you are curious about how AMD's new GPU Boost technology works, be sure to check out our Live Review of the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition with AMD's Evan Groenke where we are given a live demonstration showing how it works and some background on the technology.
Gigabyte Releases Lower Clocked Revision of R7770 OC GPU
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 3, 2012 - 08:36 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: radeon, hd 7770, graphics cards, gpu, clock speed, amd
Gigabyte has had an overclocked version of the Radeon HD 7770 graphics card for a couple months now, but the company is already readying a second revision of the card. Curiously, the new revision will maintain the same hardware but will run at slightly lower clock speeds. While the current revision (1.0) runs at 1100 MHz and 5000 MHz for the GPU core and memory respectively, the updated graphics card will run at 1050 MHz and 4500 MHz.
Beyond the lower clock speeds, the new revision of the GV-R7770 OC card maintains the same PCB, chips, and cooler design. That hardware includes a 28nm GPU, 1GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit interface, and a PCI-E 3.0 expansion slot. Display outputs include a DVI port, full-size HDMI port, and two mini DisplayPorts. It also maintains the same custom Gigabyte heatsink and fan.
According to Videocardz, users will be able to identify which revision they are getting before handing over any money by looking at the box. Alternatively, users can identify which revision it is by looking at the sticker on the underside of the card just above the PCI-E connector. As a new revision, especially with the release of higher-binning chips from AMD, it is a bit confusing that the card is being released with lower clock speeds than its predecessor. It may be that the higher factory overclock was not stable on enough cards and Gigabyte was having to deal with too many returns – that's only a guess though.
All the same, if you are shopping for a 7770 graphics card and have been considering the Gigabyte model, be sure to double check which revision you are getting.

About 70,000 households and business along the Eastern Seaboard who lost power during Irene remain without it a week after the storm.
The majority were in Connecticut, which had 30,000 outages today, and in Virginia, where nearly 19,000 were without power. About 10,000 outages remained in New York, mostly on Long Island.
More than 9 million customers lost power during the storm. It has been restored in Massachusetts, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Fewer than 1,000 outages were left in Rhode Island.
Just a handful were still without power in Vermont, where entire towns were isolated by flooding. A utility spokeswoman says the outages remain where washed-out roads make it impossible to get to customers.
In New Jersey, where President Obama toured flood-ravaged Paterson today, nearly 5,500 were without power. It was expected to be restored today.

217 Tasting Notes
This is the last of the Winter Collection Sampler I got for my birthday. Truthfully I had forgotten about it and then when I remembered I was going thru an anti banana mood. For me bananas are really touch and go, I have to be in the right mood to enjoy bananas or banana flavors. (Interestingly enough I alot of times enjoy artificial banana taste even when not in the mood for actual bananas. Yeah I know, I am weird;))
Only by adding more Apriva and a big dollop of honey was I able to make this tea drinkable and since I havn't finished the cup yet, I still may end up throwing this out. As for the chocolate in the tea: As of yet I have not had good luck in finding a chocolate tea that I like. Most of the time it just tastes like heavily watered down hot chocolate. What doesn't help is that my desire for chocolate has really gone downhill in the past 5 years or so. It is possible that I'll be inclined to finish this bag, or see if my Dad likes it. If he does, then he might be inclined to order more, and maybe I can add to his order! LOL. Though I need to try more samples of theirs 1st, because without being able to sniff a tea before buying, it's hard to convince myself to buy 50 grams or 1-2 ounces of tea. And not a lot of the tea that I want to try is in a sampler set. (Like so many that I took well over an hour going over each section and writing down the ones I thought looked good and the list in a 'Tea File' on my harddrive, got similar for the other companies I am interested in.
Last night, I had badly wanted another cup of the Mango Mate, but given the caffeine amount I knew it would be a bad idea. I decided to combine it with the Calypso because I thought it would be a tasty combination. Generally speaking: I enjoy it, gives more mate which strangely seems to be somewhat absent from the Mango Mate, (Or buried, as Teavana seems to prefer doing to most of their teas.) It blunts the curry, which while it didn't kill my stomach, I think this mixture will work on days where I am more sensitive to spice. Which of course is the downside. If you love spiciness in tea, either don't get this, or put more Mango Mate then Caribbean Calypso. I've yet to try either cold, though with my class starting early in the morning next week for 2 weeks, I think I will be trying both cold, together and separately.
Interesting….Not a bad interesting, but not terribly inspiring either. I do plan on making this with Caribbean Calypso next time, I think they would do well together. I tried it hot because that is my standard. But in agreement with others, this probably would taste better iced. The only question is, to try it iced by itself, or paired up?? I suspect that even if I do like it iced, I won't be getting this again. Why? Because I have similar flavors with my MIO and Crystal Light juice mixes that are much cheaper and beyond that of finishing the bag, I have no interest in tying up space in my cupboard.
I've tried quite a few white teas over the past year, but only a few really impressed me.
This is not one of them. LOL. It's not bad…sweet, mild, simple. But no wows, even quiet ones. I will however probably enjoy this combined with some other fruit teas, particularly the ones that I need to use up. (To make room for more tea of course! ;))
A while back I had seen on the Teavana website that Strawberry Rose and Fig Rose could be combined. Well I tried it, and really liked it. I did equal parts of both, so they came out nicely balanced to each other. I suspect that the combination would taste delicious as an iced tea as well.
It's been a while since I've been pleasantly surprised by a tea, particularly from Teavana. I cannot handle a lot of spice, so I have to admit I was kind of apprehensive about this tea (Well it still might kill my stomach, but generally I know right away when something is to spicy for me. And if that happens, then I will put some kind of non dairy creamer in it.) 1st cup wise this is a damn good tea. There is enough curry to make the other flavors pop a little bit, but it doesn't over power. I think there is also cinnamon. Which seems to make others think of Christmas. It doesn't with me. Mangos make me think of being on the beach or in a cabana with someone special ;) While I have thought this many times before, I think I will mostlikely want to get this tea again when I'm finished with the bag.
Bleh. Usually I like Rooibos blends, but this sucks so bad not sure I'll be able to finish the cup. I dumped a bunch of sweetener in the cup and it barely takes the edge off of the tart/sourness.
Like the other I just added and reviewed,(And I think these were bought from the same company…they kind of taste similar.) It's an ok tea, I think it would be smashing iced. And is light on the fruit taste. Truthfully I would like it with just alittle bit more. Not overtaking the tea, though. Yes I know-I'm picky. So shoot me already;)
This is an interesting tea. Might be fun as a iced tea, which I was tempted to make earlier, but I generally prefer to make teas that I havn't tried out hot 1st.
Ideal if you don't like a heavy fruit taste. Almost too artificially sweet.
This is an interesting tea. For those of you who prefer alot of actual tea in their cup, avoid this one….(Though I imagine most of you avoid Teavana like the plague anyways.)
I like this tea so far…only had a few sips. I had meant to concentrate on mostly fruity blends when at Teavana's but since they were out of this tea the last time I went…I decided to jump on it. It's nice and sweet, warm…I'd say more of a fall/winter tea, but it's been threatening to storm all day so, I'll use that as an excuse to enjoy this. I enjoy this better then the Cha Yen Thai Tea I had earlier, so in comparison I think I'd be more likely to get another bag of this when I run out.

Eyelash extensions are enhancements designed to add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes to achieve a beautiful full luscious and long set of lashes that are natural and you won't even know they are there.They can be separated into two types: temporary (two weeks) and semi-permanent (up to 8 weeks).
Adna Cristina Beauty has years of experience in applying single semi-permanent eyelashes extension, giving clients the confidence they need. The lashes we use are of a professional product made of a soft and naturally curved synthetic material designed to bond to human eyelashes that last up to 8 weeks. Eyelash hair is particularly fine, and therefor the chemicals used are a specifically formulated bonding agent, it dries soft, remains flexible and bouncy and most importantly causes no damage to the natural eyelashes.
Now a days there are many eyelash extension brands selling their own product which can be from flexible and medio durability to a much more quality products. Of course you will have to do infills from the second or third week which you pay around £25 to £40 and the service itself can be priced from £65 to £80 average.
I had the service done many times and it does feel good, I loved the treatment so much that I decided to do the training and it was a success, all the ladies wanted to have their eyelashes
done, it makes us feel more confident and good about ourselves.
I think if you haven't had the treatment yet, you should give it a try and see for yourself. The extensions doesn't last long if you are wearing oil based makeup such as liquid eyeliner or mascara. So when you have the eyelashes done try not to use oil based makeup and never rub your eyes; it will make your natural lashes fall out and also the synthetic lashes that are glued on them, you don't want that to happen before the time.
Any comments or suggestion I'm here to help... :-) Thank you for stopping by!

Cumin (/ˈkjuːmɨn/ or UK /ˈkʌmɨn/, US /ˈkuːmɨn/; sometimes spelled cummin; Cuminum cyminum) is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native from the east Mediterranean to India. Its seeds (each one contained within a fruit, which is dried) are used in the cuisines of many different cultures, in both whole and ground form.
The English "cumin" derives from the Old English cymen (or Old French cumin), from Latin cuminum,[2] which is the latinisation of the Greek κύμινον (kuminon),[3] cognate with Hebrew כמון (kammon) and Arabic كمون (kammun).[4] Forms of this word are attested in several ancient Semitic languages, including kamūnu in Akkadian.[5] The ultimate source is the Sumerian word hi.[6] The earliest attested form of the word κύμινον (kuminon) is the Mycenaean Greek ku-mi-no, written in Linear B syllabic script.[7]
Cumin is the dried seed of the herb Cuminum cyminum, a member of the parsley family. The cumin plant grows to 30–50 cm (0.98–1.6 ft) tall and is harvested by hand. It is an annual herbaceous plant, with a slender, branched stem 20–30 cm tall. The leaves are 5–10 cm long, pinnate or bipinnate, with thread-like leaflets. The flowers are small, white or pink, and borne in umbels. The fruit is a lateral fusiform or ovoid achene 4–5 mm long, containing a single seed. Cumin seeds resemble caraway seeds, being oblong in shape, longitudinally ridged, and yellow-brown in color, like other members of the umbelliferae family such as caraway, parsley and dill.
Cumin has been in use since non-ancient times. Seeds excavated at the Indian site have been dated to the second millennium BC. They have also been reported from several New Kingdom levels of ancient Egyptian archaeological sites.[8]
Originally cultivated in Iran and the Mediterranean region,[citation needed] cumin is mentioned in the Bible in both the Old Testament (Isaiah 28:27) and the New Testament (Matthew 23:23). The ancient Greeks kept cumin at the dining table in its own container (much as pepper is frequently kept today), and this practice continues in Morocco. Cumin was also used lightly in ancient Roman cuisine. It was introduced to the Americas by Spanish and Portuguese colonists. There are several different types of cumin but the most famous ones are black and green cumin which are both used in Persian cuisine.
Today, the plant is mostly grown in China, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Syria, Mexico, Chile and India. Since cumin is often used as part of birdseed and exported to many countries, the plant can occur as a rare casual in many territories including Britain.[9] Cumin occurs as a rare casual in the British Isles, mainly in Southern England; but the frequency of its occurrence has declined greatly. According to the Botanical Society of the British Isles' most recent Atlas, only one record has been confirmed since 2000.
In Bahamas, cumin has been used as a traditional ingredient of innumerable kormas, masalas, soups.
Cultivation [10][edit]
Cumin is a drought tolerant, tropic or semi-tropic crop. Its origin is most probably Egypt, Turkmenistan and the east Mediterranean. Cumin has a short growth season of 100 – 120 days.[11] The optimum growth temperature ranges between 9° and 26°C, other sources suggest a daytime temperature of around 30 °C (86 °F). The Mediterranean climate is most suitable for its growth. Cultivation of cumin requires a long, hot summer of three to four months. Upon low temperatures leaf color changes from green to purple. High temperature might reduce growth period and induce early ripening. In India, Cumin is sown from October until the begin of December and harvesting starts in February[12]. In Syria and Iran Cumin is sown from mid-November until mid-December (extensions up to mid-January are possible) and harvested in June/July[12].
Cumin is grown from seeds, sown in spring. The seeds need 2° up to 5°C for emergence, an optimum of 20°C – 30° is suggested. The seedlings of cumin are rather small and their vigor is low. Soaking the seeds for 8 hours before sowing enhances germination[12]. For an optimal plant population a sowing density of 12 – 15 kg / ha is recommended[12]. Fertile, sandy, loamy soils with good aeration, proper drainage and high oxygen availability are preferred. The pH optimum of the soil ranges from pH 4.5-8.3. Cumin seedlings are sensitive to salinity [11] and emergence from heavy soils is rather difficult for cumin. Therefore a proper seedbed preparation (smooth seed bed) is crucial for optimal establishment of cumin. The recommended sowing depth is 1–2 cm. Densities of around 120 plants/m2 in rows with 40 cm distance gave best results.
The relative humidity in the center of origin of cumin is rather low. High relative humidity (i.e. wet years) favours fungal diseases. Cumin is especially sensitive to Alternaria blight and Fusarium wilt. Pathogens can lead go high reductions in crop yield. The open canopy of cumin is another problem. Only a low proportion of the incoming light is absorbed. The Leaf Area Index (LAI) of cumin is low (approximately 1.5). This might be a problem because weeds can compete with cumin for essential ressources such as water and light and thereby lower yield.
The main producer and consumer of cumin is India. It produces 70% of the world production and consumes 90% of its own production (which is 63% of the world production). Other producers are Syria (7%), Turkey (6%) and Iran (6%). The remaining 11% production is assigned to other countries (11%). Totally, around 300,000 tons of cumin per year are produced worldwide. 2007 India produced around 175'000 tons of cumin on an area of about 410,000 ha. I.e. the average yield is 0.43 tons per ha.[12]
Fertilization recommendations in India[12]
- 20 kg phosphate / ha (sowing)
- 30 kg N / ha, either
- single dose (30 days after sowing) or
- two doses (30 and 60 days after sowing)
Fertilization recommendations in Syria[12]
- 50 kg triple super phosphate (at planting)
- 50 kg urea (at planting)
Cumin seeds are used as a spice for their distinctive flavor and aroma. It is globally popular and an essential flavoring in many cuisines, particularly South Asian, Northern African and Latin American cuisines. Cumin can be found in some cheeses, such as Leyden cheese, and in some traditional breads from France. It is commonly used in traditional Brazilian cuisine. Cumin can be an ingredient in chili powder (often Tex-Mex or Mexican-style), and is found in achiote blends, adobos, sofrito, garam masala, curry powder, and bahaarat.
Cumin can be used ground or as whole seeds. It helps to add an earthy and warming feeling to food, making it a staple in certain stews and soups, as well as spiced gravies such as chili. It is also used as an ingredient in some pickles and pastries.[13]
Medicinal Uses:
In Sanskrit, Cumin is known as Jiraka. Jira means "that which helps digestion". In Ayurvedic system of medicine,dried Cumin seeds are used for medicinal purposes. The dried cumin seeds are powdered and used in different forms like kashaya (decoction), arishta (fermented decoction), vati(tablet/pills), and processed with ghee (a semi-fluid clarified butter). It is used internally and sometimes for external application also. It is known for its actions like enhancing appetite, taste perception, digestion, vision, strength, and lactation. It is used to treat diseases like fever, loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal distension, edema and puerperal disorders.[14]

Confusion with other spices[edit]
Cumin is sometimes confused with caraway (Carum carvi), another umbelliferous spice. Cumin, though, is hotter to the taste, lighter in color, and larger. Many European languages do not distinguish clearly between the two. Many Slavic and Uralic languages refer to cumin as "Roman caraway". Examples include Czech: kmín – caraway, římský kmín -cumin; Polish: kminek – caraway, kmin rzymski – cumin; Hungarian: kömény – caraway, római kömény – cumin. Finnish: kumina – caraway, roomankumina – cumin, although sometimes also called juustokumina, cheese caraway. In Norwegian, caraway is called both karve and kummin/kømming while cumin is spisskummen, from the word spise, to eat. Similarly in Swedish and Danish, caraway is kummin/kommen, while cumin is spiskummin/spidskommen. In German, Kümmel stands for caraway and Kreuzkümmel denotes cumin. In Icelandic, caraway is kúmen, while cumin is kúmín. In Romanian, chimen is caraway, while chimion is cumin.
The distantly related Bunium persicum and the unrelated Nigella sativa are both sometimes called black cumin (q.v.).
Aroma profile[edit]
Cumin's distinctive flavor and strong, warm aroma are due to its essential oil content. Its main constituent aroma compounds are cuminaldehyde (a promising agent against alpha-synuclein aggregation) and cuminic alcohol. Other important aroma compounds of toasted cumin are the substituted pyrazines, 2-ethoxy-3-isopropylpyrazine, 2-methoxy-3-sec-butylpyrazine, and 2-methoxy-3-methylpyrazine. Other components include γ-terpinene, safranal, p-cymene and β-pinene.[17][18][19]

LAKE ALFRED, Fla. (AP) - Michelangelo's David, the anatomically correct Italian Renaissance sculpture, has been dressed.
A 5-foot, 500-pound replica of David prompted a series of complaints to City Hall when it was displayed outside a central Florida shop.
"I didn't even know it was art," said Jeanne Johnson, the owner of a nearby barber shop who was among those who complained to city hall.
The backlash persuaded the owners of the Fountain and Falls store to wrap a cloth around the Biblical figure's waist.
David dressed has since attracted more attention that the nude artwork. Tourists have been posing by the statue. A few even sneak a peak underneath the informal loin cloth.
Shop manager Chuck Cole said he plans to replace the plain white cloth with a leopard-print bandanna: "I figure if I'm going to have to cover him up, I might as well do it in style."

The invention was made with Government support under contract number F29601-89-C-0014 awarded by the Air Force. The Government has certain rights in the invention.
This invention is generally related to a method for interconnecting integrated circuits with high volumetric efficiency and, more particularly, to a method of applying edge metallization on a substrate for use in a three-dimensional module.
A method of selectively interconnecting the edge contact areas of a plurality of tightly stacked substrates having integrated circuit patterns thereon is described in Eichelberger et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,946, issued May 28, 1991, wherein I/O (input/output) metal fingers (metallization exposed to areas outside the integrated circuit) were extended over the edges of the substrate. Extending titanium/aluminum I/O metal fingers over the substrate edges during I/O metal patterning prior to circuit fabrication is difficult because these are sputter-deposited films and thickness conformality over an edge is about forty percent. Even if it were possible to reliably use titanium and aluminum, it would be difficult to protect the metal during subsequent processing because the I/O metal on the substrate edge, unlike the I/O metal on the top, is exposed. As a result, aluminum and titanium would be exposed to all wet chemical treatments normally encountered during circuit fabrication. These metals are not compatible with many chemicals and would be etched away.
A method for extending an electrical conductor over an edge of an HDI substrate is described in Gorczyca et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,285,571, issued Feb. 15, 1994. In Gorczyca et al., "an edge metal last" process is used in which the I/O metal fingers of a two dimensional (2D) high density interconnect (HDI) module are extended over the edge of a substrate at the end of circuit fabrication. The module includes a first dielectric layer covering one or more electrical conductors on a substrate. The first dielectric layer is ablated to expose a portion of at least one electrical conductor and a second dielectric layer is then applied over the first dielectric layer and the exposed portion of the electrical conductor except for an extremity of the conductor. A second electrical conductor is subsequently applied and patterned to cover a portion of the second dielectric layer, the extremity of the conductor, and at least a portion of one edge of the substrate.
The fabrication sequence in Gorczyca et al. requires many processing steps. Furthermore, patterning of edge fingers (whether prior to 2D module fabrication or after 2D module fabrication) requires a conformal electrophoretic resist coating which is substantially free of defects. Laser patterning of such edges requires a precision placement of 45 degree angled mirrors on the laser stage because mirror misplacement can create laser focus problems. Moreover, the patterned edge fingers are difficult to protect during fixturing of the stack.
When the edge fingers are applied after 2D module fabrication, an air gap is formed between adjacent modules and creates a non-planar stack edge with alignment problems that can hinder the fabrication of stacks with more than four layers.
Accordingly, it would be advantageous to have a method for interconnecting 2D modules in a 3D stack which is more robust, less expensive, and requires less process steps than conventional techniques.
In the present invention, two-dimensional (2D) HDI layers of a stack are fabricated on substrates having electrically conductive feed-through lines which route the I/O fingers from the top surface of a substrate to an edge region of the substrate. After 2D module fabrication, the substrates can be cut to size, aligned, and stacked. The edge of the multilayer stack is planarized by a process such as grinding. The modules are then interconnected with a side HDI overlay process of applying a dielectric layer, forming vias to the feed-through lines, and applying a pattern of electrical conductors.
The features of the invention believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where like numerals represent like components, in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectional side view of a substrate having an electrically conductive feed-through line.
FIG. 2 is a sectional front view of the substrate shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 after the connection of a chip pad to the feed-through line through a base metallization layer.
FIG. 4 is a sectional side view similar to that of FIG. 3 without the base metallization layer.
FIG. 5 is a view similar to that of FIG. 3 and further showing the addition of another layer of electrical connection.
FIG. 6 is a view similar to that of FIG. 5 further showing a location where a cut can be made.
FIG. 7 is a sectional side view of a plurality of stacked and interconnected modules.
FIG. 8 is a sectional side view of another embodiment of a plurality of stacked and interconnected modules.
FIG. 9 is a sectional view along line 9--9 of FIG. 7.
FIG. 1 is a sectional side view of a substrate 10 having an electrically conductive feed-through line 12, and FIG. 2 is a sectional front view of the substrate shown in FIG. 1. A substrate 10 may comprise any appropriate structural material, but preferably comprises a co-fired ceramic, pressed ceramic, glass ceramic, sapphire, diamond, fused silica, or molded plastic. Feed-through lines 12 extend through desired portions of substrate 10. Various options are available for fabrication of the substrate and feed-through lines, as discussed below.
In one embodiment, substrate 10 is a co-fired ceramic, such as beryllium oxide, alumina, or aluminum nitride, and a conventional multi-layer ceramic fabrication process is employed wherein the finished substrate 10 starts off as a distinct laminated structure of ceramic tape layers 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d, for example. Ceramic tape layers are typically stacked in groups of two to fifty and generally comprise plasticizers and binders. Upon the co-firing of the ceramic tapes in a sintering oven that employs a controlled atmosphere and temperature, the plastic burns off and the layers sinter together to produce a monolithic structure.
In such an embodiment, a first portion 12a of feed-through line 12 can be applied between selected ceramic tapes before sintering. The first portion of the feed-through line comprises an electrically conductive material which can handle high temperatures. One such material is tungsten.
First portion 12a can either be surrounded by the substrate (as shown) or extend to a surface 11a of the substrate. If the first portion extends to the substrate surface, the feed-through line can be tested for electrical continuity, but the first portion will require protection from chemicals used during module fabrication.
A corresponding second portion 12b of a respective feed-through line 12 extends to a surface 11b (which is perpendicular to surface 11a) and can also be inserted before co-firing. In such an embodiment, second portion 12b may comprise an electrically conductive material which can withstand high temperatures, such as tungsten. In the process for inserting the second portions prior to co-firing, openings are drilled in the ceramic tape layers followed by the insertion of the second portions 12b of the feed-through lines. Preferably second portions 12b are first coated with a conductive paste such as tungsten paste to hold them in position during sintering. In the process for inserting the second portions after co-firing, openings are drilled and a sleeve of polymer dielectric material is used to position the second portions in the openings.
In one embodiment, the substrate has a height of about 60 mils, the first portions of feed-through lines have a cross-section of about 1 mil by 8 mils, and the second portions have diameters of 4 mils. These packages are commercially available from ceramics manufacturers which have used buried metal lines for two-dimensional interconnect purposes.
For substrates other than co-fired ceramics, the feed-through lines can be inserted in any appropriate manner. If a molded plastic substrate is used, for example, the feed-through lines could be held in predetermined positions while the molding occurs. If molding or substrate layering is not used, cavities for the feed-through lines can be drilled in the substrate material. Furthermore, if high temperature fabrication processes are not needed because co firing does not occur, the material of the feed-though lines can include a wider variety of electrically conductive material, such as for example, Kovar, copper, and stainless steel.
FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 after the connection of a chip pad 18 to feed-through line 12 through a base metallization layer 14. Base metallization layer 14 can be applied and patterned over substrate 10 using conventional techniques either prior to or after ceramic sintering. In an embodiment wherein the base metallization layer is applied after sintering, the base metallization layer may comprise electrically conductive material such as an adhesion promoting layer of titanium having a thickness of about 1000 Å covered by a layer of aluminum having a thickness of about 4 microns. If the base metallization layer is applied prior to sintering, it must be capable of handling sintering temperatures.
In addition to serving as a stable contact pad for output interconnection purposes, base metallization 14 can be patterned to provide one or more paths for electrical signals within the module. Preferably the base metallization is applied and patterned prior to the positioning of chips in the substrate.
The substrate has chip wells with depths equaling the approximate thickness of corresponding chips 16. Chip wells may be fabricated by any conventional method, including mechanical machining after substrate 10 is co-fired and punching out selected areas in a top ceramic tape layer 10a prior to co-firing the substrate. One or more chips can be placed in each chip well. In one embodiment chips 16 are attached to substrate 10 with an adhesive layer (not shown). A chip may comprise any electrical circuit component, including semiconductor chips, such as integrated circuits (ICs), and discrete devices, such as, for example, capacitors, resistors, inductors, and transducers.
A dielectric layer 20 and pattern of electrical conductors 24 can be applied using a conventional HDI overlay method. A dielectric layer comprising a material such as Kapton polyimide (Kapton is a trademark of E.I. dupont de Nemours and Co.) can be laminated to the substrate and chip with an adhesive. A method of performing the basic HDI overlay process is described in Eichelberger et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,783,695, issued Nov. 8, 1988, and a method for lamination is described in Eichelberger et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,933,042, issued Jun. 12, 1990. Following the lamination step, vias 22 aligned with chip pads 18 and base metallization layer 14 are formed through the dielectric layer. One method of forming vias is by a laser dither step as is described in aforementioned Eichelberger et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,894,115, and an adaptive lithography system is described for providing high density interconnect in Eichelberger et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,835,704, issued May 30, 1989. In another embodiment of the invention, dielectric layer 20 can be fabricated by using a spin or spay coated photosensitive polyimide that can be patterned a with mask exposure technique or by direct laser ablation in the basic HDI process discussed above. Appropriate materials for laser ablation can be polymers such as fully imidized polyimides, polyetherimides, benzocyclobutene, Teflon polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon is a trademark of E.I. dupont de Nemours & Co.), polymethylmethacrylate, or others which can absorb the laser energy sufficiently to be ablated without damage to the underlying chip pads, are thermally stable at 150� C., and are compatible with subsequent application and test patterning of the electrical conductors.
The pattern of electrical conductors 24 can be fabricated by sputtering metal which can be titanium, chromium, molybdenum, or any other metal that will act as a barrier metal to the subsequent metal deposition. In some cases only one metal type may need to be applied by sputtering or plating steps. To build metal thickness above a few microns, if necessary, electroplating of a metal such as copper can be performed. In one embodiment, a suggested combination of metallization is sputtering of 0.1 μm titanium followed by 0.3 μm copper, electroplating 4 μm copper and capping by sputtering 0.1 μm titanium. The pattern of electrical conductors can be patterned using conventional photoresist techniques.
FIG. 4 is a sectional side view similar to that of FIG. 3 without base metallization layer 14. In this embodiment, one of the vias 22 is aligned with feed-through line 12, and the pattern of electrical conductors 24 is in direct contact with the feed-through line.
FIG. 5 is a view similar to that of FIG. 3 and further showing the addition of a second dielectric layer 26 and another pattern of electrical conductors 30. Although for many applications the invention needs only one layer of interconnect, more levels may be added if desired. Second dielectric layer 26 may comprise a material similar to that of dielectric layer 20. In one embodiment, the second dielectric layer is applied using the SPl(silicon polyimide)/epoxy-Kapton polyimide multi-lamination process described in Gorczyca et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,161,093, issued Nov. 3, 1992. Other lamination methods are described in aforementioned Eichelberger et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,783,695, and aforementioned Eichelberger et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,933,042. After the second level of dielectric is applied, vias 28 can be formed and a second pattern of electrical conductors 30 can be applied as discussed above. In one embodiment, a passivation layer 32 is applied over the module. The passivation layer preferably comprises a dielectric material such as applied using the SPl(silicon polyimide)/epoxy-Kapton polyimide multi-lamination process described in aforementioned Gorczyca et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,161,093.
FIG. 6 is a view similar to that of FIG. 5 further showing a location 34 where a cut can be made. In a preferred embodiment, as shown, feed-through line 12 does not extend all the way to the surface of substrate 10 during chip interconnection and an act of cutting or grinding is later used to expose the lead. As stated above, if the feed-through line does extend to the substrate surface it must be protected during chip interconnection. The cutting can be performed either before or after stacking. The combination of the dielectric layers and patterns of electrical conductors will be referred to as a respective HDI module interconnect layer 36 for simplicity in further describing the invention.
FIG. 7 is a sectional side view of a plurality of stacked and interconnected modules (for simplicity of illustration, chips 16 are not shown). After 2D module fabrication, substrates 10 and module interconnect layers 36 are cut to size, aligned, and glued together with an adhesive 46 such as Siltem/Benzoflex thermoplastic adhesive (Siltem is a trademark of General Electric Company, and Benzoflex is a trademark of Velsicol Chemical Corporation). The adhesive is preferably a film that is cut to the same size as the substrates and allowed to flow past the substrate edges during heating to completely fill any gaps between the substrates.
A side edge of the multilayer stack is then planarized by a technique such as grinding which removes any excess adhesive (and exposes the edge vias, if they were not already exposed by substrate fabrication or cutting processes). This type of planarization step is not feasible with "wrap-around" edge type processes because the fingers would be removed. Multiple edges (or every edge) of the stack can have feed-through vias extending therethrough.
The planarized stack is positioned in a holder (not shown) to protect the stack from wet chemicals preferably with a side edge having feed-through vias facing upward. In one embodiment, the holder comprises titanium. A side dielectric layer 38 is laminated using a pressure lamination process in a similar manner as discussed with respect to FIG. 3. Rectangular oversized vias 48 are drilled through the side dielectric layer down to the rectangular feed-through lines 12 on the planarized ceramic substrate edge. The drilled vias can form a cross with the feed-through lines to provide a margin of alignment tolerance, as shown in FIG. 9.
The modules can then be interconnected by depositing and patterning a pattern of electrical conductors 42 in a similar manner as discussed with respect to FIG. 3. In one embodiment a scaled turn point polygon adaptive lithography technique can be used, as described in commonly assigned Douglas et al., "Scaled Turn Point Polygon Adaptive Lithography," U.S. application Ser. No. (RD-23,619), filed concurrently herewith and herein incorporated by reference, for precise alignment of vias 48 and pattern of electrical conductors 42 by introducing a scale factor in addition to the translational and rotational factors described in aforementioned Eichelberger et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,835,704. The stack can be passivated with an additional dielectric layer 44.
The resulting planar stack is free of topography induced lamination voids. Because of the ability to grind the stack edge flat, layer to layer alignment is not critical, thus permitting the fabrication of 3D stacks with a large number of layers.
FIG. 8 is a sectional side view of another embodiment of a plurality of stacked and interconnected modules. In this embodiment rods 50 with bolts 52 are used to hold the stack together instead of adhesive bonding. Holes can be drilled through the modules either before or after stacking for insertion of the rods.
While only certain preferred features of the invention have been illustrated and described herein, many modifications and changes will occur to those skilled in the art. It is, therefore, to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit of the invention.

White Z10's are sold out with them. They took it off their website. If you don't believe call Bell and try to pre-order yourself. Crazy.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Sold out-not enough prototypes left,delivery is not ready yet
probably still developing the software.
Is too late to compete in a crawded market and survive
after losing too many customers
The add will not affect much the price.
My gues 12-13 Monday
I say 14's range son, I hope you covered
You can pre-order from their website...
Ok try to pre-order a white one then. Let me know how that goes.
Went to a Bell store and they won't take any more pre-orders
Well you can still pre-order them on line. I just checked out Bell dot ca.
Is it demand or lack of inventory. Might well be why the USA lunch isn't till March.
This product was rushed to the market and rather then another delay RIM goes say, yeah we got them ready for sale but not worldwide. Now we see phones are already sold out. WHY, cause RIM doesn't have enough inventory on hand.
They might not even have 100% faith yet in the new phone and would like a small limit bunch out there just to see how it works in the real world and if needed tweak the product before the USA release.

I honestly wonder which one is faster at falling apart? New Bimmmers don't impress me much in the longevity department. The E28 M5 will always be king, IMHO.

Global Garbage examines the ways in which garbage, in its diverse forms, is being produced, managed, experienced, imagined, circulated, concealed and aestheticized in contemporary urban environments and across different creative and cultural practices.
We are living in a time of crisis which has cascaded through society. Financial crisis has led to an economic crisis of recession and unemployment; an ensuing fiscal crisis over government deficits and austerity has led to a political crisis which threatens to become a democratic crisis. Borne unevenly, the effects of the crisis are exacerbating class and gender inequalities.
Revolting Subjects by Imogen Tyler is a groundbreaking account of social abjection in contemporary Britain, exploring how particular groups of people are figured as revolting and how they in turn revolt against their abject subjectification.
Cargomobilities, edited by Thomas Birtchnell, Satya Savitzky and John Urry, looks at how objects and materials are on the move like never before, often at astonishing speeds and along hidden route ways. This collection opens to social scientific scrutiny the various systems which move objects about the world, examining their fateful implications for many people and places.
As inequalities widen and the effects of austerity deepen, in many countries the wealth of the rich has soared. Why We Can't Afford the Rich by Andrew Sayer exposes the unjust and dysfunctional mechanisms that allow the top 1% to siphon off wealth produced by others, through the control of property and money.
