I am very much into empowering women to assert themselves. As a womanist it is my belief that the gender card is often used to maintain patriarchy thus causing a society that is extremely unequal.
As a mother it is my responsibility to raise my sons to be aware of the way we perform gender each day, and the effect it has on our decisions. As much as possible the "unhusband" and I try to disturb traditional gender roles, so that the boys will learn that there is no task that is specifically male or specifically female. Though I do believe that those that stand to pee should be responsible for bathroom care, (just saying) the tasks are pretty much divided equally.
There is one place however that despite my feminist politics I have drawn the line. Yes I know it is illogical, and highly ridiculous, but I will not take out the garbage. That is right, I shamelessly pull the "I'm a girl" card out of my pocket, bat my eyelashes and look all pretty and sweet to avoid this task. Every time I am called on it, I shamelessly announce, "I didn't burn my bra I'm wearing it."
Yeah, I know it is wrong. Yeah I know it sets a horrible example but damn it I hate taking out the garbage…so I'm a girl deal with it, and you better not say anything sexist in response either. (that would be me childishly sticking my tongue out now)
Okay what small daily betrayals have you made to your feminist principles because you hate to do a task. We all do it so fess the hell up.

dalcool - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkI can't wait! Glad I held on to my DX. If you have to wait I found a site that has the Ice Cream Sandwich wallpapers. It is formatted for mobile so installing them is easy. It also has a ton of other good wallpapers as well. www.freedroidwallpaper.com Reply
DrChemist - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkIs it just me or is the People section with twitter integration and swiping left for all the info and the metro style browser and people area seem awfully identical to Windows Phone 7. Sounds like a lot of people taking from Microsoft then calling them insignificant. Reply
InternetGeek - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkThis is true. The Roboto font looks a lot like Metro's stock, and many of the designs make you think of Metro all around. Lately, Microsoft doesn't get too much love for innovating. It's the only UI that looks different yet it is hardly mentioned. Quite unfair.
Another example, the latest Android market app, might even be stealing the hubs concept from Metro. Reply
DrChemist - Thursday, October 20, 2011 - linkI even noticed the douche that is in control of Android design make fun of metro style like Windows phone as junk and childish. He even mentions that metro detracts from the information the user needs. Yet they use it for theirs. Plus metro is made to focus only on the information at hand to get in, do what you need, and get out, fast.
When is everyone going to see that Apple and Google is no different than Microsoft was 8 yrs ago. They just are in it for the money and don't care about anything else. Yet people love Apple and Google like it is the spoken word of God when they come out with something (Apple more so).
Just my 2 cents. Reply

phoenix_rizzen - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkSony Ericsson Xperia 2011 phones are supposed to be getting Android 4.0 before the New Year.
I'm torn ... should I root the Xperia Pro and play around with the Cyanogenmod nighties with 2.3.x ... or wait for 4.0.0 to arrive? Reply
sigmatau - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkI'm guessing it is the same for all US versions as my AT&T GS2 has the NFC built into the battery. The AT&T sales reps didn't even know about it. I was wondering what would be the use of it other than making purchases. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkNoo!
I much prefer physical rather than capacitive buttons. Having them smushed into the screen, taking up space all the time, is even worse.
One of the design flaws in Honeycomb, I always thought, now it's carried over to ICS. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkWhile I like having physical buttons, the problem with Android has been the complete lack of consistency even within the same manufacturer with phones have different number of buttons and different orders making changing between phones frustrating as you get used to a certain order and number of buttons. The N900 has no physical buttons and a consistent interface where all applications have the same pop up close, back, multi-task and menu buttons which works fine.
John Reply
v_coriander - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - link@piroroadkill
ICS 4.0 has a different story of the buttons to Honeycomb.
As mentioned in the Keynote event, the on-screen buttons will be disappeared in some situations. For instance, while watching video or browsing photos. In such way, users could take full advantage of the 720p screen.

chris1317 - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkWill ICS recieve the full review treatment that IOS5 has just had? Im keen to see reviews of both ICS and the Galaxy Nexus once available. Reply
xype - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkIf not more, it will probably be hard to get real comparisons with previous versions done, seeing how only two of the Android phones are going to get 4.0 (for the time being, at least) and most models are not going to run both. Reply
phoenix_rizzen - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkSony Ericsson Xperia 2011 phones (currently running Android 2.3.x) are slated to get Android 4.0.0 before the New Year.
Should be easy to get a hold of a couple of Arcs, Neos, or Pros to do comparisons between 2.x and 4.x. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkWe will do what needs to be done. And given that this was 1,000+ word unpacking of the preview, I imagine there's a lot of words left. Reply
jiffylube1024 - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkI watched the keynote announcement live on Youtube last night, and despite a few technical problems with the demo there was a lot to get excited for.
Google seems to have really hit its stride with ICS - it's quite a departure from iOS in the look and feel department. They seem to have taken bits and pieces of ideas from WebOS and even Windows Mobile 7 with their multitask switcher (and flick to kill and app gesture) and larger picture tiles for users in contacts, respectively.
All of the improvements to Android were necessary and look to provide great functionality - better keyboard, better browser [improved tabbing, sync of Favourites with Google Chrome on desktop, 'save to view offline'], vastly improved multitasking (with large "Alt-Tab esque" previews), easier folder re-organization, faster camera access & camera access from the lock screen.
To steal Anand's expression, Google just Conroe'd the phone market (in my opinion)!
Now we need to wait for the official launch date and figure our if and when it's coming to older phones. There have been rumblings posted that Google is not happy with the fragmented nature of Android on smartphones; here's hoping that Android 4.0 ICS is available on phones from at least the last year or two! Reply
jiffylube1024 - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkOne more quick note from the presentation is that they mentioned that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is 1280x720 and that 720p is the "default" resolution for Android 4.0 ICS. Here's hoping that it's still scalable back to the resolution that 99.5% of current Android smartphones run. They announced that it will be coming out in November, so I hope there's more updates on ICS' availability soon. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkSo I have been thinking about this for a while. There's no doubt that Honeycomb's initial release was a buggy mess, and there's something to be said for basic growing pains, but something stood out in the TIMN interview with Matias Duarte: "Honeycomb was like: we need to get tablet support out there. [sic] So that was the mission, and it was a time-boxed mission. Any corner we could cut to get that thing out the door, we had to."
The iPad was introduced in May of 2010. The Xoom was introduced in January of 2011 (weird to think it's so young). We generally say that a product of this type takes 12-18 months, start to finish. That pegs Honeycomb's nascency as early as 2009, around when the Motorola Droid was first making its introduction. Something else happened in May of 2010, though. Matias left Palm and joined the Android team. And from this quote it sounds like he was there from the projects infancy.
I don't imagine that Google didn't have some tablet strategy in mind before the iPad was introduced, but I don't think they were prepared for the consumer fervor that accompanied the iPad, and that's why they brought Matias on board and why Honeycomb was a rushed iteration.
We're obviously very excited about ICS, as to your question about scaling up and down, Google has been aiming for resolution independence for sometime, and it's really up to the developers to build their apps with this in mind. The hope is that the framework and tools that Google is implementing with ICS helps make this an easy thing for devs to do.
As for ICS showing up on older hardware? Three things need to happen, first it needs to be ported to multiple chipsets, an easier thing to do when the code is open sourced. Second, the xda-developer community has to take on the challenge of doing it themselves, a lot of hardware from the past 18 months won't make the cut. Third, demand on hardware that just missed the chance (SGSII for instance) needs to be high, and that means we can't all stick our hands in our pockets and wait to upgrade till an ICS phone we like hits the market.
Thanks for the comment, sorry for the wall of text reply.

Spivonious - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkI see Google copying a lot of WP7. Does this mean they're taking them seriously as a competitor? Reply
JasonInofuentes - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkI think it's fair to say that while no one is so far threatened by the sales of Windows Phone devices, the innovations present and the UI are taken seriously.
Jason Reply
DigitalFreak - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkKeep on trolling! Reply
OoklaTheMok - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkThere are a few of the "new" features of ICS that WP7 has had... such as..
1. The ability to swipe away notifications
2. Viewing notifications from the lock screen and being able to go to the originating app
3. The "Action Bar"
4. People Hub with social networking updates
First Google copyed the iPhone chicklets, now it is copying the Windows Phone user experience.
Maybe in Android 5.0 they will have a consistent user experience. ICS is still a mashup of different UI paradigms. Reply
Watapata - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkWhile Google has certainly drawn some inspiration from both Microsoft and Apple with ICS, you are clearly misinformed on the examples you've provided.
1) The ability to swipe away notifications has existed in custom Android ROMs for ages now, if anything they've taken this from the ever active Android community.
2) Viewing notifications from the lockscreen has also been around in custom Android ROMs for quite some time as well. In fact, I was able to do this on my T-Mobile G1 before that had yet been out a year. It is certainly possible that implementations of this existed prior to that, but it certainly isn't a WP7 innovation.
3) The 'Action Bar' has been an Android UI Pattern since before WP7 ever met the public eye. Before Honeycomb there wasn't an API for it and it wasn't built into the SDK, nonetheless it was a pattern Google urged developers to begin implementing themselves. There is actually a Google I/O 2010 workshop video on YouTube about this.
4) Contacts on Android have had social networking updates integrated for years now. The 'People' app is nothing more than a redesign of this. I won't argue that it isn't heavily influenced by WP7, but the feature is hardly something new or even remotely unique to WP7.
Again, Google has certainly copied some features from Apple and Microsoft. At the same time, each has certainly copied some features from Google. It would hardly be rational to argue otherwise. Despite this, what was shown yesterday for ICS is in no way a copy of the WP7 user experience. Portions of the presentation are similar at best, but the UI concepts are completely different.
There is certainly room to improve consistency within the OS, but from the looks of things this is a massive step forward from Gingerbread, which was in turn a massive step forward from Froyo. It will only get better, as it should. This will only serve to drive improvements in the other OS's as well. Reply

jaydee - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkAnd now my ancient 5-month old phone (HTC Thunderbolt with 2.2) is 5 generations behind. (2.3-3.0-3.1-3.2-4.0). Reply
cplusplus - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkAll of the 3.x versions were tablet-only, and no phone out there has them. So you're 2 generations behind (2.3 and 4.0). Reply
anactoraaron - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - link"What we haven't seen is the ability to peek at notifications from the lock screen and then go directly into the app that originated the notification upon unlock."
My Samsung Exhibit 4g has missed call and text notifications built into the lock screen and it is as easy as sliding a puzzle piece to unlock the phone directly into that app. So again nothing new here. Maybe just a better implementation of it. Reply
Earthmonger - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkAs someone who doesn't use internet functionality, and has internet disabled on my Nexus S, should any of Ice Cream Sandwich's features matter to me? Honest question here. Minus anything internet-related, what should I be impressed by with ICS? Reply
JasonInofuentes - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkSo, I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how to answer you. I'm going to assume that you mean that you don't have 3g enabled on your phone, but still access a WiFi network with it. If that's the case then there's still obviously lots to look forward to since all of these optimizations will work just fine over WiFi as over a mobile data connection.
If, however, you really don't have any internet connectivity on your phone whatsoever, then you'll appreciate the UI elements of the call and messaging services, and though you'll have to manually enter them you'll enjoy the People app and it's contact organization and features. But if that really is the case, the more pressing question is, what the heck are you doing wasting your money on a smartphone when you don't use it to browse the web, play apps, send and receive e-mails, interact with social media, view videos and listen to music and generally do any of the things that one buys a smartphone for?
And that's a serious question.

Earthmonger - Thursday, October 20, 2011 - linkI own the phone. Bought it straight. No calling plan, no service providers. I use "calling cards", but that works a bit differently here in Norway, than in the US. I use my Nexus S for pictures, music, texting, and as a plain old cell phone. I haven't found any use for the internet services, though I did use the GPS function once.
I'm not big on social networks like Facebook. Of course I have accounts, but use them just a few times a year. Not sure I'd want to watch video on a tiny screen. Or play games on it for that matter. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Thursday, October 20, 2011 - linkWell, let me go ahead and suggest that you consider it, if for no other reason than the joys of having your contacts completely portable. When you register your phone with Google and activate their syncing services they upload your contacts and store them for you, updating them as you update them. So if a friend changes his number it's changed in the cloud and also in your Gmail (if you use it).
Further, if you are a Gmail user, this is the best mobile Gmail experience available.
Basically, these devices are built around connectivity, and that will become more true as things continue. The voice to text functions for instance are all done on the server side, so without access to the internet you wouldn't have access to that. The contacts pictures and data are populated automatically. You could enter it all yourself but that would be tedious. If you're looking for a pure calling and texting phone, I'm surprised that you're not supporting the (near) home team and carrying one of the excellent Nokia phones from the last few years. Either way, thanks for the reply.

Despoiler - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linkGoogle hired Matias Duarte away from Palm WebOS. He was their UI designer. Honeycomb implemented some of his ideas, but , ICS is the first full OS release with him at the helm. MS is copying his work from Palm WebOS if anything.
I am super excited to get a Galaxy Nexus with ICS when it's released. Reply
RamarC - Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - linki always thought this should be baked into the OS. even though we have unlimited usage, i've never been able to figure out why my wife's nearly doubles mine (nearing 1gb each billing cycle). whatever's sucking data is probably sucking battery and i can finally tell her to get rid of the culprit!

Engineering, Building, and Architecture
Not many museums collect houses. The National Museum of American History has four, as well as two outbuildings, 11 rooms, an elevator, many building components, and some architectural elements from the White House. Drafting manuals are supplemented by many prints of buildings and other architectural subjects. The breadth of the museum's collections adds some surprising objects to these holdings, such as fans, purses, handkerchiefs, T-shirts, and other objects bearing images of buildings.
The engineering artifacts document the history of civil and mechanical engineering in the United States. So far, the Museum has declined to collect dams, skyscrapers, and bridges, but these and other important engineering achievements are preserved through blueprints, drawings, models, photographs, sketches, paintings, technical reports, and field notes.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Sherwood Olin has apparently cracked the code for building a news business in this crumbling digital age. "If the Pope crashes one foot outside Lincoln County, it's not news," Olin, the editor of Newcastle, Maine's hometown paper told me a month or so back.
His Lincoln County News is one of the most fascinating media entities I have encountered in some time. It's been the news source for this rocky nook of mid-coastal Maine for the past 138 years, pretty much once a week, and somehow over that century and a third this traditional printed paper has escaped the dogs of the digital age. First off, big is beautiful when it comes to The Lincoln County News. Yes. There's a website and Facebook ( FB) page, but the foundation of this brand is a full-color, 36-page, seven-column-wide printed edition. This stretch of news real estate -- just under 36 inches wide when open fully -- creates a dramatic frame for content. Sure, the coverage is about damage-free blizzards, citizens stressed about fireworks legislation and the kid who won the spelling bee. But the message is clear: Information has value. It's a commitment to news that comes straight from the owners of this privately held operation. "I tried to push for bigger photos," Olin told me of a conversation he had with Chris Roberts, publisher for Lincoln County Publishing -- who runs the printing press by himself, according to Olin. Olin wanted more layout options with larger images. Roberts "looked at me long and hard," Olin said. "And then politely said, 'But that would cut down on the news.'"
By all accounts, The Lincoln County News -- with two editors, four staff reporters, about three dozen stringers and support staff and advertising personnel -- is a pretty darn good business. Olin said he prints 9,000 copies per week and revenues are solid.

AMD's Project Win: A Misunderstandingby Anand Lal Shimpi on 11/9/2011 5:49 PM EST

Back to Article
RussianSensation - Wednesday, November 09, 2011 - linkHi Anand,
Thanks a lot for this update. Good to know that AMD doesn't intend to unveil a major change in strategic direction, at least not on a public basis until next year as you have noted. Looking forward to your 28nm HD7000 series GPU review. Can we possibly expect an update to the game test bench suite, perhaps SKYRIM, BF3? Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Wednesday, November 09, 2011 - linkRyan, Jarred, and I are working on revamping our gaming test benches and trying to line them up between graphics, desktops, and notebooks. BF3 and Skyrim are both contenders. Reply
tviceman - Wednesday, November 09, 2011 - linkTry to pick out games that scale well with CPU AND GPU's. Civ V's lategameview benchmark is one example. Far Cry 2 also scaled well, but it's pretty old now so probably not worth having in a current benchmark suite. Since Metro2033 is the current most demanding game out there, it's probably good to keep it in the mix. Reply
Klimax - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkWould it be possible to include SupremeCommander FA? (I can supply save for SP which can overload CPU - 20/30 FPS on Core i7 920.)
It would be good to know if those new CPUs can finally run the game with high number of units... Reply
SlyNine - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkHere's the thing about SCFA (and I love the game BTW). The default AI caused major slowdown and only used a single core for those tasks whiched caused the slow down. So until we have 10X single core performance default AI won't run smooth on SCFA.
I was running a Core I7 860 and I can tell you that with the modified AI (which is much better anyways) there is not very much slowdown.
When I played Multiplayer with huge units on the lan I never had slowdown problems with 4 civs 2000 units a piece.
Now I run a 2600k at 4.4ghz but have not tried SCFA yet ( lost my disc trying to obtain another one)
Try these mods, FA Patch 3603 beta, Sorian mod, and DuncanE's FA AI Patch. Makes the game much much better. Reply
Tormeh - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkLittle off-topic since it's the CPU, but I've always wanted a CIV V end-of-turn benchmark: How long do you have to wait after clicking the "end-turn" button until the enemy AIs have finished their turn and it's your turn again? It's one of very few instances in gaming where you are actually just staring at your monitor waiting for the CPU to finish.
Pretty please? :) Reply
Taft12 - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkI recall Ryan making a comment once upon a time that he really lamented just how lousy some of the games used in his benchmarks were.
I agree, and many users come here looking not for a large selection of benchmarks in games they will never play (F1, Dirt, Crysis) but ones they plan to spend hundreds of hours in like Skyrim, BF3, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3.
Metro is a must since its still the most demanding game out there, but please, more focus on the best PC games rather than the ones that are the prettiest. Reply

Operandi - Wednesday, November 09, 2011 - linkLayoffs are of course not a good sign for the.company but the marketing department indeed failed with the launch of Bulldozer. How they ever gave it the FX designation is beyond me, all they accomplished is ruin whatever good name the FX brand had. The engineering layoffs are more worry some but we really don't know the reasons behind them. Hopefully it results in better products and more timely execution and not the end of completion for Intel on the high-end.
I also like Reads comments. Faster moving R&D, and timely product execution is exactly what AMD needs. whether he's the right man for the job or not remains to be seen but something has to be done to get things turned around. Reply
Mishera - Friday, November 11, 2011 - linkYea, but I can't help but to think how much more streamlined can you get on the engineering side? The GPU side's doing very well so I don't know if you want to mess with that, and I thought layoffs were one of the main reasons Bulldozer disappointed.
This is especially scary with many upper management engineers having left. I've got to think that this is going to affect AMD's long term vision, which is probably bad for the industry. Reply

Arnulf - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkWhat features, silly ? Catalyst drivers are a huge blob of crap that should really be 10% times the size it is now, especially considering the fact that it requires yet another large blob (.Net) to even run.
There is absolutely no reason why the driver and the tweaker application that consists of nothing more than few sliders and checkboxes should be larger combined than the minimum size for a GUI application, which on Windows I estimate to be well under 10 MB (driver taking the smaller portion of this).
Anybody who has done low-level programming on things such as drivers knows that there is no way in heel to get them bloated up to 100+ MB without doing dumb things on purpose. Reply

Sunsmasher - Wednesday, November 09, 2011 - linkI'm concerned about the direction of AMD these days.
I read Rory Read's comments to the troops and it really sounded like a lot of corporate-speak.
However, on reflection I believe that this is what he was really trying to say:
"Last quarter, or was it fifty cents, I described a set of initiatives to streamline business and decision-making processes across our operations, (in order to speed them up to a higher speed), R&D (so that we can discover new ways to make the things we manufacture), and go-to-market functions (so that our inventories of processor component fruits and vegetables remain at competitive levels). We are in full executional deployment across each of the key work streams, getting things done at the time that they are completed, efficiently and finally. These efforts are aimed at accelerating our transformation to a world-class design company that efficiently designs World Classes better than any competitor...growing revenue to a point where it is much greater than now, lowering costs to a point far less expensive than at the present time, and reducing time-to-market (driving faster than in the past when going to shop). We expect to see material benefits from this project that will greatly benefit us in 2012, or sooner if our future projections are accurate and we are able to arrive at that year before that time."

pcfxer - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - linkBS, if you want to improve a business you will rarely remove your engineering capacity. Your engineers are trained and have learned key knowledge specific to AMD in the industry; with such specialization you don't remove ANY of this capacity.
It is also important that one does not reduce engineering capacity but also not to reduce engineering support capacity.
I agree with frozentundra, Anand should run AMD. None of this political/PR crap. No wonder our old friend left AMD a couple of months ago. Reply

Crowds wowed at stargazing event on prairie
Published: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 9:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 9:53 p.m.
In a quiet field in the pitch black of Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park Saturday night, groups of children huddled around telescopes, sipping hot cocoa, dancing around a bonfire under the stars and gaining a deeper love of astronomy that many may carry with them for a lifetime.
The annual stargazing event hosted by the Alachua Astronomy Club at Paynes Prairie brings young and old together to marvel at our universe -- with a little hot chocolate and horseplay on the side.
The Friends of Paynes Prairie volunteers come out each winter to help direct traffic, make 'smores and hot cocoa, and lend a hand to help the evening run smoothly. They support the park rangers, who among other things host hayrides on the prairie.
Park Services Specialist Amber Roux called this year's stargazing event "excellent. We are one hour in and the cars keep coming."
She says that proper planning and the dedication of volunteers is what makes this event such a success.
"Last year we had 350 people RSVP and over 700 showed up," said Roux. "This year our volunteers planned ahead for over 800 and last year we only had one truck doing hayrides, but this year we have three. This is one of the biggest events of the year and the largest fundraiser for the Friends of Paynes Prairie."
Amy Pazzalia and her husband, Joe Stokes, brought their daughter Josie Stokes, 3, son Drew Stokes, 5, along with Joe's brother Jeff and his son Brayden Stokes, 11, for the family's first stargazing event on the prairie.
"Drew has become obsessed with stars and planets and he got his first telescope for Christmas this year," Amy explained. "He has been so excited to come out and use the more powerful telescopes."

Alan Nunnelee on Energy & Oil
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
[Rep. Young, R-AK]: The Americans suffering from $4 a gallon gas today must feel like they're experiencing a sense of deja vu. In 2008, when gasoline prices reached a record high of $4.11 per gallon, the public outcry forced Congress to act. That fall, Congress lifted the offshore drilling ban that had been in place for decades. Three years later, most Americans would likely be shocked to learn that no energy development has happened in these new areas.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Markey, D-MA]. In the first 3 months of this year, Exxon-Mobil made $10 billion off of the American consumer; Shell made $8 billion; BP made $7 billion. So what are these companies asking for? These companies are now asking that we open up the beaches of California, Florida & New England to drill for oil. People who live near those beaches don't want oil coming in the way it did in the Gulf of Mexico. Right now, those oil companies are centered down in the Gulf of Mexico. People are concerned because those companies have blocked any new safety reforms that would protect against another catastrophic spill. We have to oppose this bill because, first of all, they already have 60 million acres of American land that they haven't drilled on yet, which has about 11 billion barrels of oil underneath it and an equivalent amount of natural gas. This bill is just a giveaway to Exxon-Mobil and Shell.
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill is a direct assault on the Clean Air Act. Its premise is that climate change is a hoax and carbon pollution does not endanger health and welfare. But climate change is real. It is caused by pollution, and it is a serious threat to our health and welfare. We need to confront these realities. American families count on the EPA to keep our air and water clean. But this bill has politicians overruling the experts at EPA, and it exempts our biggest polluters from regulation. If this bill is enacted, the EPA's ability to control dangerous carbon pollution will be gutted.
No Climate Tax Pledge: "I pledge to the taxpayers of my state, and to the American people, that I will oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue."
Sponsoring organizations: Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEU); National Taxpayers Union (NTU); Institute for Liberty Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is a nationwide organization of citizen-leaders committed to advancing every individual's right to economic freedom and opportunity. AFP believes reducing the size and intrusiveness of government is the best way to promote individual productivity and prosperity for all Americans.
The Contract from America, clause 2. Reject Cap & Trade:
Stop costly new regulations that would increase unemployment, raise consumer prices, and weaken the nation's global competitiveness with virtually no impact on global temperatures.
The Contract from America, clause 8. Pass an 'All-of-the-Above' Energy Policy:

1 Collected Works
202 Galisteo St.
For 13 years, mother-daughter team Dorothy Massey and Mary Wolf have co-owned the now 31-year-old bookstore on W. San Francisco Street—only, it's not there anymore. Collected Works' new digs on the corner of Galisteo and Water streets allows for more breathing room for the bookstore's many literary events, which have included readings by locals such as Judith Ryan Hendricks as well as national writers like David Sedaris. "We really wanted to add another element to the bookstore after 31 years," Wolf says of the big move (which, Wolf says proudly, was done entirely by hand, without using an ounce of gasoline).
With an added coffee shop, expanded inventory and room for more than 200 seats for literary events, the new location is a huge step up from the snug quarters on W. San Francisco Street. Wolf hopes the new Galisteo location will provide a more comfortable gathering spot for book lovers and beyond—there will be room for book clubs, a cozy fireplace for the winter and soon live music will fill the air. "Virginia Woolf said that everyone should have a clean, well-lighted place for books," Wolf says. "That's what we hope to provide."

Head Figure Head, the new e-book from Glen Maxey, details the author's arduous and frustrating six-month effort to investigate rumors of Gov. Rick Perry's gay sex life. Maxey served as executive director of the Lesbian/Gay Rights Lobby of Texas (now Equality Texas) during Perry's tenure as a state representative, later serving for 12 years as a state representative, spanning Perry's time as agricultural commissioner, lieutenant governor and governor. Of all the people who've attempted to look into the rumors of Perry's trysts with men, Maxey is perhaps best positioned to get to the truth, and takes great pains to ensure we are aware of that fact.
The book is the narrative of Maxey's research, assisted by a journalist from a national media outlet. Like almost every character in the book other than Maxey and Perry himself, "the Journalist" is referred to only as a pseudonym. Maxey and the Journalist begin their search for proof in June 2011 as rumors of Perry's impending presidential bid are widely circulating. Immediately the pair find that almost every gay man in Austin has a friend who has a friend who claims to have slept with Perry. For the next three months they track those leads and come excruciatingly close to breaking the story.

News Just In: Gigabyte Announces USB3 Mini-ITX H55 Motherboardby Ian Cutress on 5/24/2010 2:34 PM EST

Back to Article
Earthmonger - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkThis board was announced back in March. Why are they re-releasing another announcement about it?
Still, I've been very much looking forward to this board, as it presents features that Zotac and others don't. 5 SATA ports. RAID on H55. USB 3.0. Possible OC capabilities. Etc. With this board I can run an SSD, two 1TB drives in RAID 0, my DVDrom drive, and still have that last eSATA for my external. Reply
Earthmonger - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkRight. Now I'm not impressed.
After noticing any mention of RAID being absent from this new iteration of the announcement, I started digging, checking the site, downloading PDFs, etc. It would appear all RAID support has been dropped from this board.
This board might as well be a brick. Such a waste. The only thing it has going for it now is USB3.0, and that isn't enough to even consider buying it. So disappointing.
Well, what you got, Asus? Reply
killerclick - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkYeah, because it doesn't have RAID it's a brick. Who the hell uses RAID anyway? People without girlfriends, that's who. Reply
Zok - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkWow. Way to troll. RAID 5 is a very useful for a media center / backup NAS. Reply
killerclick - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkYeah, because people who use miniITX systems routinely need reading speeds in excess of 150 MB/sec... you know, for video editing and stuff like that. :) Reply
Zok - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkI wish someone would buy you a clue. RAID 5 is quite useful in upping capacity, while preserving redundancy. Some people do indeed require more than 2 TB (max single hard disk) of space for backed up games, movies (DVD/Blu-Ray), music, applications, photos, system backups, etc., hence why these boxes are commonly dual-purpose media-centers and NAS appliances. RAID 5 allows you to put 4 x 2TB disks in and still benefit from 6 TB of continuous space, which prevents waste, and single-disk redundancy. Reply
killerclick - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkWow, another dateless wonder I see. As I said, I don't use RAID and it's not needed in miniITX systems which are meant for HTPCs and the like. Unless you're using such a system to store a lot of pirated movies, you don't even need a large hard drive. Reply
Zok - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkYeah, no one uses a mATX system as a hybrid media center and NAS, right. And relying on a single hard drive to keep irreplaceable system backups, home movies and photos safe sounds real smart too. No one could possibly want redundancy and have high capacity needs.
Because YOU don't understand the value in it, doesn't mean there isn't value in it. Reply
killerclick - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkYeah, 2TB of irreplaceable data like photos and home movies... with that Torrent program used to download Linux distributions. Please... you're either a pirate with terabytes of illegal movies and software (which are hardly worthy of redundant storage) or you don't need more than 15-20 GB for your irreplaceable backups (just as safe to put them on an external drive and/or DVD and/or encrypted online). In any case it's stupid to use a miniITX and then bitch about how it doesn't have some obscure feature that only virgins know about. Reply
Zok - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkBecause YOU don't understand the value in it, doesn't mean there isn't value in it.
P.S. Keep up the dumb childish comments. This is Anandtech. If you think that RAID is an obscure feature that only "virgins" know about, you're on the wrong website. Reply
Fujikoma - Friday, May 28, 2010 - linkI have to agree with the troll (with the exception on the dateless/virgin stuff). The raid feature really isn't a deal-breaker. No one in my family needs that type of functionality in their computers. The reality is that I've just bought them 1-2 TB external drives and something like the WD media players to run movies, pictures and music. I keep everything backed up at my place.
Something that size is mostly going to be used for a small system. I don't even bother with RAID because every piece of software I run fits on a 16Gig flashdrive in my fire file and I keep a couple back up HDD's in there also. It's not worth the extra juice for redundancy or speed.
BTW... the conversation has been amusing to read through. Not too blue. Reply

tomoyo - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkAhem, hardware raid via intel isn't very fast anyways. An add-on raid card or software raid are still valid options here. Personally I highly prefer ZFS raid over any other option for this board. Reply
AstroGuardian - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkAnd where would you plug it? It the board's a**? Reply
Earthmonger - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkKids these days...
This box is going to travel up and down Norway, between my brother's place, sister-in-law's (and her husband's) place, and my wife's mother's place (where my wife's brother also lives). We are all avid gamers, but we all share files amongst each other as well. This is a LAN box, not an HTPC; built for easy transport. But why the Hell wouldn't I want RAID? Are you honestly that feeble? Performance for one, redundancy for another.
Crawl back into the closet with your inflatable sheep, kid. Reply
Etern205 - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkThe Intel m-itx board has RAID, but its layout made it looked sloppy.
This one has a clean look to it, but no RAID. :\ Reply
piroroadkill - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkWho the hell uses cheap hardware raid anyway? I'd much, much prefer software raid, so that if my board dies, I'm not screwed. Reply
AstroGuardian - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkYou are not screwed in any ways if the board dies as long as you know how to handle raid member disks ;) Reply
Mr Perfect - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkIt's an H55 board, so it wouldn't be able to support Intel RAID anyway. You have to have an H57 chipset to get RAID. Well, that or install another chip on there, and I honestly don't see to much empty room. Reply

taisingera - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkI was looking at this board and noticed it was just put up on Gigabyte website yesterday. I couldn't find out if you could use x1 cards in that x16 slot from the manual or other places. Would have considered it for a new build but it would have been $100 more total and I wasn't sure when it would be for sale and how much. So I went with, the microATX H55M-USB3 and a Mt Jade In-win case. Reply
Bromptoners - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkYou can use a x1 card on that x16 slot, since PCI-e is backward compatible to lower speed Reply
Mr Perfect - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkTrue, but the problem is that some boards disable the on-board video if you plug something into the "graphics x16 slot". Reply
AstroGuardian - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkNot necessarily true. It's not a rule. The board (especially new boards) will detect whether it's a graphics accelerator or not... Reply

tomoyo - Monday, May 24, 2010 - linkI concur. this is the exact case I want for my NAS system with mini-itx board. Reply
capeconsultant - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkThanks to both. Reply
Aikouka - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkUgh... that's definitely not suited for a HTPC (one of mini-ITX's nice uses) for quite a few reasons. Really disappointing to see such a case come out of Lian-Li too, but I haven't seen a great case from them since they dropped the PC-V1/2xxx series. Reply
Mr Perfect - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - link"The H55N-USB3 will support the latest LGA-1156.... ....Core i7 processors."
That's exactly what I'm looking for! Most manufacturers target their m-ITX boards at the HTPC market, and only enable support for i3s and i5s.
Now just get it in shops already. ;) Reply
AstroGuardian - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkNow why would you want an i7 over i5 on this kind of board? Reply
Mr Perfect - Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - linkMy gaming rig is a full size ATX with only one slot used for the graphics. If I can get an i7 and a graphics card on a m-ITX, then ATX holds no advantages for me. I'm done with the ATX form factor. Reply
40sTheme - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkPeople are hating on this beautiful, well engineered, perfectly laid out board because it doesn't have RAID? Buy a dang external if you need backups... if you need RAID, buy a board for enthusiasts, because as much as you may deny it, in the consumer market, RAID is in the enthusiast section. Heck, I'm a computer enthusiast as well, but I have never seen myself using RAID for any real purpose. Reply
MadMan007 - Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - linkAre we ever going to see a really good VRM section on mITX boards? (Pending hands-on reviews of this board of course.) I don't buy the 'limited space' argument, there are mATX boards that clock very well and don't use rediculous bajillion phase VRM sections that get hyped by the marketing department. FWIR it's all about component cost not space. The mobo makers release $300++ boards but won't add $10-20 in components to make higher-end mITX boards? Put an H57 on it and give it a well engineered power section to make the 'premium' version please.
I hope someone realizes this, even DFI has missed the mark, I've been pondering mITX using the IGP for my next build (I'll be done with gaming entirely by then) but am waiting until Sandy Bridge/Bulldozer anyway. I would love to have a nice solid CPU overclock to retain CPU power. Reply
jed22281 - Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - linkI bought the premium P7H57D-V EVO and it didn't include USB power x3.
Grrrr... Reply
DigitalRazor - Wednesday, May 26, 2010 - linkThis is the first mini ITX board that pretty much does it for me as a NAS/HTPC playback device. yes .. I need RAID but with that big 'ol 16x PCIe sticking out there .. a good 8x RAID 5 card ( expensive ... true and if I don't choose to use software raid ( icky-poo) ) I can serve as backup to my Audio Video and Software synthesis platform Mastering studio and about as many HD flat screens as I choose... and my girlfriend will be happy not to know about the redundancy of RAID-5 or RAID-6 --- but she does anyway cause she is a Nerd Like me ... Enjoy but if you cant .. there is something out there for you .. Reply
Ninjahedge - Tuesday, June 01, 2010 - linkOK, yelling for RAID on a mini is a bit rediculous.
You have only one computer in all of your house? You are using a mini for a LAN/Gamer/NAS and HTPC?
I am not saying you need something for every application, but I would like to have a low power use system for my NAS, a TINY machine for my HTPC, and a small one for my main system that can still fit a decent vid card (And be able to fit it, the chip with its cooler fan and a power supply in a compact case).
This looks like a good vid card might be difficult to fit next to the chip... I may be wrong.
Anyway, back to RAID. As someone who upped his 5 disk 500G (each) raid to a 4 disk 1.5TB (each) array, I can see why RAID 5 is so desired. But to fit enough stuff on a NAS, you need at least 3 disks in RAID 5. Once you start getting to that many disks, "mini" is no longer a major concern.
As for striping it in 0, what's the point? Load times? 1 2TB and an SSD should do the trick....
As for backups while bringing your machine all around creation, you could just do it the old fashioned way and put it in two places (like I do, keeping them on the CF and putting them on the laptop, until I get home and transfer to the NAS).
Question for all, suggestions on a full assembly on this sucker for a gaming machine? Would this be something that would give the Shuttle boxes a good run for the money? Reply
lotuspad - Friday, June 11, 2010 - linkI absolutely don't understand why all the fuss about the lack of RAID support with this mini-itx board.
If you run RAID, don't you also need a case that's big enough to house at least two disk drives? How many ITX cases can you find that can house two HDDs (in addition to the usual ODD)???
OK you may argument, you could put the system in a mATX or full size case. Then why in the world would you want to pay a premium for a mini-itx board when you can get more for less $$ by buying a mATX or full size board? The power savings between a mITX and mATX is not that much.
To me, mITX is all about compact size. If that's not your primary objective when building a system then you're looking at the wrong product. Reply

Print "Go West", this simple phrase captures a universal longing to leave behind the everyday and set out for parts unknown. 140 years ago, John B. Stetson needed that call and created the classic symbol of the west. Today, the un-bridled individuality of the American Spirit continues to be our constant inspiration. Stetson footwear reflects the same beliefs and traditions that made Stetson a part of America. John B. Stetson started the John B. Stetson Hat Company in 1865 with no mare than $100 and a passion for hats. He rented a small room, bought the tools he needed, bought $10 worth of fur and launched his dream. Soon after he started his humble company, the famous "Hat of the West" also known as "Boss of the Plains" was born. The rest of the Stetson Hat story is as we say "history." Stetson Hats became a trademark for quality, durability, innovation and beauty. Stetson Hats remain that way today! John B. Stetson had some very tough times in creating Stetson Hats. He was trained by his father who was a master hatter, but making it at the time was difficult. Being a hatter was not held in very high regard and they were seen as unreliable. John B. Stetson changed all that with his line of Stetson Hats. He built one of the most well-known and successful American businesses. Stetson Hats rely on innovation, quality and durability to keep them that way today. Today Stetson Hats makes more than just that. They apply the same standards to their boots and clothing. Stetson Boots are known for their strong American roots and heritage. Stetson Boots are symbols of freedom - symbols of the West. With combinations of exotic boots and several different toe types, Stetson Boots have the look you need. Get your pair of Stetson Boots at BootBarn.com today.
