In Buyer's Guides: Atomic Clocks
Atomic clocks receive a radio signal from the most accurate clock in the world, the cesium atomic clock, transmitted from the National Institute of Standards in Fort Collins, CO. The radio signal that covers the entire United States will keep your clock accurate to within one second over one million years. You'll never have to reset the clock, even for daylight-saving time!
The US Naval Observatory which operated 70 "atomic clocks" provided the following background information about these clocks: 'A cesium beam atomic clock uses the exact frequency emitted by atoms of the metallic element cesium. Today, cesium clocks measure frequency with an accuracy of one second in 1,400,000 years! It is the most accurate realization of a unit that mankind has yet achieved. A cesium clock operates by exposing cesium atoms to microwaves until they vibrate and counting the corresponding cycles as a measure of time.

EnzoFX - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkIt just bothers me when these premium monitors cost the same as Apple's. I know Apple's aren't perfect and that you can make a lot of panels better if you calibrate, but most people would see the two and opt for the one with more known brand, let alone the alu/aesthetics/usually thinner/build quality/etc. Reply
EnzoFX - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkI suppose where these redeem themselves is when they go on sale/have price drops, or even when buying used. Apple's prices stay the same, and the resale value is a bit retarded =p. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkAnd where did you see a price on this thing? The 27" Apple displays cost over 800€ (839€). HP, Dell, Fujitsu, Samsung, Philips, ViewSonic, Iiyama, DGM, Hazro all offer 1440p displays well below that. Not sure what you are talking about. The displays that approach the Apple are from Eizo and the ones above Apple are from Nec or 30" displays. Reply
B3an - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkEugh 16:9 ratio. Pass. Reply
MikeMurphy - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkSure it's 16:9, but vertical pixels exceed 1200, which isn't bad. Reply
MrSpadge - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link1440 pixels are easily enough for me. Reply
erple2 - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkI think that's a shroud around it. Implying that it's for technical work that you don't want any reflections on. Reply
erple2 - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkSigh, I give up. Reply
seapeople - Friday, June 14, 2013 - linkNope, would get much more use out of 1440x900. Reply
JaBro999 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkI hear ya dude, 16:10 is ideal. But, the lack of quality options and the high prices of decent 30" 16:10 monitors makes me feel like I have little choice but to go with 1440p when I upgrade my monitor.
Even the Dell U3014, which seems pretty sweet, costs well over $1,000 and has several well documented problems that will probably require a hardware revision to resolve. Reply
beginner99 - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linklooks extremely ugly... Reply
Harby - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkThat's because of the hood which you can obviously remove. Anyway this is meant for color-critical works, not gaming. Professionals hardly care about the looks. Reply
LordOfTheBoired - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkAh, that's a hood. That makes more sense.
The front-on view makes it look like it has a weird melted-plastic aesthetic in the bezel. Reply
Visual - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkTrue, you can probably remove it, but why did they even put such a misunderstanding around it in the first place? Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkYou don't seem to spend much time with color calibrated monitors. Every Nec and Eizo I know that caters to professionals has that hood to stop light from flowing into the monitor and keep the colors accurate that way. Reply
Razorbak86 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkToo bad they didn't include some photos that clearly define the shroud. Oh wait!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio Gov. John Kasich's (KAY'-siks) plan to tax lawyers, lobbyists and accountants is fraught with potential potholes.
That includes hurdles to implementation, hidden business impacts, and almost guaranteed political opposition from targets of the tax. On the day his budget was unveiled, Kasich conceded that lobbyists -- experts on legislative negotiating -- would probably try to get the tax on their industry pulled out of Ohio's budget bill.
Similar proposals flailed in Michigan and Florida in part because big law and accounting firms often do business across state and international lines, making it a difficult tax to calculate and impose.
Professional organizations for Ohio lawyers and accountants have so far held off judgment. They say they are hearing concerns but still evaluating the Republican governor's complete budget package.

Last week, I had the opportunity to get a personal tour of the famous Todd House down in Tabor. I had heard a lot about the place over the years - knew it had a lot of history behind it and a connection to the Underground Railroad - but had never actually seen the place in person.
TABOR – When it comes to history, the Todd House in Tabor might be one of the best kept secrets in southwest Iowa.
Built 158 years ago by Congregational minister John Todd, the two-story structure once served as a major hub on the Underground Railroad. Today, it stands as a lasting tribute to the abolitionists and John Brown loyalists who opposed slavery and supported the Kansas Free State movement of the 1850s.

I was born on December 18, 1917, in a rented second floor of a two-story house on E 57th off Harvard in Cleveland. That makes me 95 years old. I attended grade school at St. John and Our Lady of Lourdes in Cleveland and St. Wenceslas in Maple Heights. I graduated from Maple Heights High in 1935. I had a paper route while in sixth grade and during high school worked nights in a bakery for 10 cents an hour.
After graduation I worked for the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad for 28 and 3/4 cents an hour. That was increased when the minimum wage became 35 cents. When the war began, it became a matter of work or fight and I was in a defense plant. That began a machine shop career that lasted until I retired as foreman in 1987.
Within weeks I started a second career as writer for the Maple Heights Press. The 1,262 The Way It Was columns I've written so far are a personal diary of the way things were during my lifetime.
I've been asked recently if I really saw horses on the streets, and what did I do before there was radio and television. I remember horses pulling wagons of ice, bakery, fish and other things to be sold door-to-door. Horses did much of the work now done by tractors and front-end loaders.
My first radio was a crystal set with earphones and a long wire for an antenna. It was years before radio took the place of card games, board games, and a whole lot of outdoor games and activities such as baseball, kite flying, belly slamming, and throwing snowballs.
I used a telephone for the first time around 1928, when an operator would ask "Number please?" and make the connection by hand. My first ride in an automobile must have been shortly after that. I didn't own my own car until about 1947. You couldn't buy one during the war.
Between 1926 and 1945 our family was what would today be called poor. My dad was not in good health and his job as streetcar conductor made his bronchitis worse. On his salary he provided for himself, my Mom, my brother and sister, my grandmother and me.
Our first real radio was powered by several large radio tubes about the size of a 60 watt light bulb. When one would burn out, most of the tubes would be taken to a shop for testing and the burned out ones would be replaced. Those large tubes were later replaced by smaller peanut tubes and after that, by transistors. The speaker was separate from the radio and stations had to be tuned in by turning a dial to exactly the right number. For a while, shortwave radio was popular, as well as amateur radio. I enjoyed hearing Big Ben chime direct from London.
My first television was a 12-inch DuMont that cost me $330 -- a huge amount in those days. I think mine was the first or second on our street. Television programs were all locally produced until some were connected together into networks. That made it easy to get on a local program, which I did. It was a game show and I won something like $12 and a pair of pajamas.
I remember when my first antibiotic shot of penicillin cost $5, a lot of money at the time. X-rays were new and not understood by most people. Having to go for an X-ray was a sure sign you were very sick. If you heard of someone who had to go for an X-ray, that was bad news.
When I was growing up, we had an icebox. In summer the iceman would fill it with 25 pounds of ice, at a cost of 10 cents, maybe as often as two or three times a week. We got our first (second hand) refrigerator just after the war.
I remember Mom's first washing machine and our old water heater with its galvanized uninsulated tank. She used a wringer to squeeze the water out of the laundry and hung it on a clothesline outdoors in summer and in the basement in winter.
I remember entering some kind of contest that required sending in an entry form and a dime and was rewarded with a first-of-its-kind plastic water tumbler. My Mom used a celluloid comb and converted a celluloid doll into a talcum powder holder/dispenser. Rayon and Bakelite were early plastics.
My first camera was a Brownie my Dad got by redeeming some coupons. After taking the eight pictures on a roll, I would take the camera to the drugstore, where the man would replace the film with a new roll and send the exposed roll out for processing. Several days later the prints would be ready to be picked up. One time the pictures came back with a free 5-by-7 enlargement. That started my lifelong interest in photography.
Retail stores were mostly family owned and I remember the names of the owners of all the local stores. Meat was cut to order, and some things were weighed and packaged by hand. The first self-serve store I remember was on Miles Avenue. The first frozen meals were called TV dinners and didn't taste very good.
Ask any old-timer about the coal furnace and you will get an earful of memories. That was a whole thing all by itself.
So was home delivery. When people didn't have cars, almost anything you could buy would be home delivered: Milk, ice, bakery, dry cleaning, coal -- even babies. Doctors charged $2 for an office call and $5 for a house call. You handed the doctor his fee and he put it in his pocket. No forms to fill out, no receipt, no health insurance, no appointments.
At age 95, I wonder what will our world be another 95 years from now. Will the atom bomb ever be used again? Will there be a cure for cancer?

Pancreatic Cancer
Second opinion?
For the last six weeks, I have had a range of symptoms including loose bowel movements that sometimes float, weight loss of around 15 pounds, indigestion, belching, abdominal discomfort (sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes pressure directly below my sternum, back pain (which I can`t determine if it`s muscular or related to the other symptoms, leg pain- which I also can`t determine if it`s part of this whole thing, early feeling of fullness, prolonged feeling of fullness, and at the beginning- loss of appetite...though my appetite has slightly returned. Just recently, I began feeling very hungry very quickly after I`ve eaten.
I`ve had every test under the sun including an abdominal ultrasound, EGD, colonoscopy, CT scan, stool tests, and multiple blood tests. All have come back normal.
I had a consult with a GI yesterday and he gave three possibilities...Giardiasis, bacterial overgrowth, or chronic pancreatitis. It`s the last one I`m most concerned with as I have heard PC can be mistaken for chronic pacreatitis.
I am scheduled to have a 72-hour stool test done this week, followed by a 10 cycle of Flagyl to test the theory of Giardiasis.
I`m 31 years old, so I know PC is rare at my age, but still possible.
Is it possible for the CT radiologist to miss PC? What are the chances of that happening? Can the scan itself fail to pick-up a mass or lesion?
Should I get a second opinion? How would I go about getting a second opinion of my original scan? Can I do it on my own, or do I need my GP`s help/permission? Since the original scan is now almost a month old, should I request another one?
Pancreatic cancer in someone your age would be extraordinarily rare. A CT scan is the best study for this, if your scan was normal the chance of pancreatic cancer is very very low. You are doing the right thing by following up with a gastroenterologist.

Lantern Theater Company Extends THE LIAR Through 12/9
Due to overwhelming demand, Lantern Theater Company announces a second extension of the Philadelphia premiere of The Liar by award-winning playwright David Ives. Playing to packed houses since its first performance on Nov. 1, Ives' "translaptation" of Pierre Corneille's comedy classic has drawn raves. The Liar will now run through Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012. The following performances have been added:
Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 7:00 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 6 at 7:00 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 7 at 8:00 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 8 at 8:00 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2:00 p.m.
Charming, handsome, and an incorrigible liar, Dorante (Aubie Merrylees) has come to Paris seeking pleasure. He falls head over heels for the beautiful Clarice (Sarah Gliko), but mistakes her name for that of her best friend, Lucrece (Emilie Krause). After lying his way into a world of trouble, can Dorante lie his way back out again? Fiendishly clever and a bit naughty, the wordplay and swordplay of The Liar make for an evening that's filled with delights.
Directed by Lantern Associate Artistic Director Kathryn MacMillan, the production also stars Dave Johnson as Dorante's manservant Cliton, Peter Schmitz as Dorante's father Geronte, Emily Rogge as twins Isabelle and Sabine, Jake Blouch as Alcippe, and Matt Tallman as Philiste.

The Scot says that the Red Devils were not interested in signing the Germany international as they already had similar players in the squad such as Shinji Kagawa and Wayne Rooney.
The Germany international moved from Real Madrid to Arsenal in August and has been an instant success at the Emirates, helping the Gunners to the top of the Premier League table.
Ozil had also been linked with a move to join the Red Devils prior to the deal going through, but Moyes insisted the club was never close to bringing him to Old Trafford.
"We weren't close to buying him but something was mooted a little bit before that," Moyes told reporters. "We didn't need that position at the time. I didn't even say it was an interest, it was put to us and it was just something at the time we didn't need.
"We had Shinji Kagawa and Wayne Rooney and people of a similar ilk so it wasn't quite what we required at that time. We were looking at different positions."
Moyes will face Ozil and Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday and the Scot is confident his side is facing the in-form Gunners at the right time, after an inconsistent start to the season.
"Arsenal are coming to play the champions, but I think their form is very good and they will come in good spirit," he added. "But we have some good momentum. Our performances are improving, there are signs we are coming into a bit of form, so hopefully it will make for a good game."

With increased production of its colored bell peppers and squash this winter and plans to build a greenhouse for beefsteak tomatoes in 2014, Wholesum Family Farms is responding to continued demand for its organic products.
Volume is expected to be up 20% to 25% on the colored bells, zucchini, straight neck and yellow squash, said Ricardo Crisantes, general manager for Nogales, Ariz.-based Wholesum Family Farms. Production of other vegetables roughly equals last year.
The organic squash, cucumbers, euro cucumbers and eggplant started about Nov. 1 in protected agriculture growing areas in Culiacan, Mexico.
"By the first week in December we should start getting some roma tomatoes and more grape tomatoes," Crisantes said.
Wholesum has also wanted to expand its organic beefsteak tomatoes. Plans have started to shape up, but timing has been an issue.
"We wish we could have done a little more organic beefsteak tomatoes, but it's hard finding the time to put in another greenhouse," he said.
"There's a rate to grow and we didn't want to push it," he said.
"We had just opened a brand new facility last year and were thinking about putting in another greenhouse this summer for organic beefsteak but decided to delay."
"Greenhouses are a great tool and they can do a lot of cool stuff, but they're just infrastructure," Crisantes said.
"What really makes a difference is the people, the quality of their work, from the crop workers all the way up to the agronomists. You really need an experienced team. If not, you just get very expensive tomatoes."
"But now we feel confident that we've got the right people, so we're pulling the trigger for this spring to start building a greenhouse to be ready by July 2014 to add capacity on organic beefsteak tomatoes."
That facility is expected to be 3 hectares (8 acres) of greenhouse in Sonora, Mexico.
Some recent expansions at Wholesum developed greenhouse capacity in Amado, Ariz. But the postharvest infrastructure — sorting machines and boxes, for example — for beefsteak was already in place in Mexico.
Amado has focused on tomatoes on the vine since December 2011, when construction began on a 12-acre site that was part of a planned 60-acre project.
The grower-shipper expects demand for organic to keep rising.
"We continue to see demand for high quality organic production," Crisantes said.
"When I came into the industry in the late 1990s, organics were the ugly duckling of the industry. Our quality was just a little bit off. Now whether it's organic or conventional, it has to be No. 1 all the way. There's no room for error.
"The reason for our continued expansion in this industry is that we've been able to come up in freshness, shelf life and quality of appearance. That's our challenge and that's also what I think with many years of trying we've been able to offer that to consumers."

CLAWSON, Mich. - Clawson police are digging into databases to find out how two cemetery headstones may have ended up at a construction site.
The stones are etched, "Dear Husband and Father, William J. Edwards, March 27, 1936- Dec 10, 1986" and "Dear Husband and Father John Kramere, July 19, 1948 – Jan 1, 2001."
"It's different. In my 28 years here, I don't think we've ever found a headstone, " said Clawson Police Chief Harry Anderson.
The markers were found Tuesday partially buried in some debris where construction is wrapping up on a Social Security Administration building at 14 mile and Crooks roads. It is not known how long they were here.
"We've checked records all of our local databases throughout the county and the state and can't seem to find the names and dates of the people," Anderson said.
No cemeteries in Clawson
Police are not literally digging too deep. They do not believe the bodies of Kramere and Edwards became a Jimmy Hoffa with a secret burial or their bodies stolen from a grave. Clawson has no cemeteries.
"No reason for an excavation job," said Anderson.
The markers may also not belong to any dearly departed. They could have been stolen demos. The case has cops between a rock and a hard place.
"We've checked with local cemeteries to see if they have any headstones missing. Nothing is turning up," Anderson said.
Anyone with information can call Clawson Police at 248-435-5000.

DETROIT - Detroiters may soon be able to purchase a 7-Eleven Slurpee within the city limits for the first time in nearly two decades.
The convenience store chain plans to open three stores in the downtown Detroit business district by the end of this year.
The company says it is negotiating several sites around the Renaissance Center and Comerica Park.
While crime is a concern for the 24-hour stores, 7-Eleven says their stores tend to become assets in communities with similar struggles.

Rove Echoes Myth That Obama Doesn't Receive Intel Briefings To Attack Him Over Libya
Research ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Fox News contributor Karl Rove claimed that President Obama skipped intelligence briefings following the September 11 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. In fact, Obama received multiple intelligence briefings after the attack, including on September 12, and the right-wing media claim that Obama regularly skips presidential daily briefings has been refuted.
Rove Forwards Theissen's Claim That Obama Skipped Briefings After Benghazi Attack
Wash. Post's Thiessen: Obama Skipped Intelligence Briefings "One Day After A Terrorist Attack." In his September 13 Washington Post column, Marc Thiessen claimed that Obama had been skipping intelligence meetings in the lead-up to the Benghazi attack. Specifically, he wrote that Obama "was scheduled to hold [his daily] intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the attacks," but that it was canceled so that he could comfort State Department employees. Thiessen then claimed that "instead of rescheduling the intelligence briefing for later in the day, Obama apparently chose to skip it altogether." [The Washington Post, 9/13/12]
Rove Suggests That After Benghazi Attack, Obama Failed To Meet With "Intelligence Chiefs." On Fox's America's Newsroom, while discussing the October 11 vice presidential debate with host Bill Hemmer, Rove said that the one substantive issue in the debate that would linger is the Obama administration's handling of the Benghazi attack. Rove suggested that Obama canceled his presidential daily briefing and did not later receive a briefing on the situation from intelligence officials:
ROVE: Well, if there was one substantive issue that came out of last night that's going to remain and linger, it's exactly that, Libya. What did the administration know and when did they know it? And it fits into a broader context, which is the handling of this. Remember, the president of the United States receives news on the night of September 11 in Washington, D.C., that our ambassador has been killed at the consulate in Benghazi, and he cancels, the next morning, his presidential daily brief with the intelligence community in order to go to the State Department, console the foreign service.
And then he -- rather than returning to the White House and meeting with the intelligence chiefs, he gets on an airplane, flies to Las Vegas in order to attend a fundraiser and campaign event, flies to Denver overnight so he can have a campaign event in Colorado the next day. [Fox News, America's Newsroom, 10/12/12]
In Fact, Obama Received Multiple Intelligence Briefings Following The Attack, Including On Sept. 12 ...
White House Press Secretary Says Obama Received Briefing From Deputy National Security Adviser On September 12. During a September 13 a press gaggle, reporters asked White House press secretary Jay Carney whether Obama was monitoring the protests over an anti-Muslim video in Cairo. Carney responded that after the incidents in Cairo and Benghazi, Obama directed security to be enhanced and diplomatic facilities around the world. He added, "I meant to and neglected to last night read out a briefing he received from his Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough that was focused specifically on developments in the region with regards to the protest, but especially on the progress of efforts underway to enhance security at our facilities." Carney added that Obama would also have a briefing later that day with senior members of his national security team. [WhiteHouse.gov, 9/13/12]
Carney: Obama Was Briefed Twice On September 13. In a September 14 press briefing, Carney said that in addition receiving the presidential daily briefing, as he does every day, Obama was briefed "directly, by National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, by Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, by Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor John Brennan, and others, including a secure call at 2:00 p.m. yesterday and another briefing at 10:00 p.m. yesterday." [WhiteHouse.gov, 9/14/12]
... And Obama Has Reportedly "Never 'Skipped' " A Presidential Daily Briefing
ABC News: "Obama Has Never 'Skipped' A Presidential Daily Briefing, Aides Say." In a September 14 blog post, ABC News reported that, contrary to "[c]onservative critics" of Obama, including Thiessen, "Obama has never "skipped" a Presidential Daily Briefing, aides say, even if an in-person briefing isn't listed on his schedule." [ABC News, 9/14/12]
Press Secretary: "The President Of The United States Gets The Presidential Daily Briefing Every Day." The Hill reported that Carney said of the presidential daily briefing:
"He gets it every day, okay?" Carney said. "The president of the United States gets the presidential daily briefing every day. There is a document that he reads every day when he is not -- well, he always reads it every day because he's a voracious consumer of all of his briefing materials. And when he is physically here, most days he has a meeting in his office, the Oval one, with participants in his national security team." [The Hill, 9/11/12]
Right-Wing Media Have Previously Attacked Obama Over Daily Intelligence Briefings
Conservative Report: Obama Has Attended 43.8 Percent Of Daily Security Briefings. A report by the conservative group Government Accountability Institute examining official White House records found that from his inauguration through May 31, 2012, Obama attended 536 total daily intelligence briefings, or 43.8 percent of the 1225 days in that period. [Government Accountability Institute, 9/11/12]
Wash. Post's Marc Thiessen: "Why Is Obama Skipping More Than Half Of His Daily Intelligence Meetings?" In his Washington Post column, former George W. Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen touted the findings from GAI, a "new conservative investigative research organization," to suggest that "national security has not necessarily been the personal priority the president makes it out to be," adding, "It turns out that more than half the time, the commander in chief does not attend his daily intelligence meeting." He concluded: "When Obama forgoes this daily intelligence meeting, he is consciously placing other priorities ahead of national security." [The Washington Post, 9/10/12]
Right-Wing Media Attack Obama Over Daily Intelligence Briefings. On September 12, multiple right-wing media outlets, including Breitbart.com, Fox Nation, and RedState.com attacked Obama for supposedly "skip[ping]" daily intelligence briefings. [Media Matters, 9/13/12]
- Wash. Post Fact Checker Rates Claim That Obama "Skips" His Intelligence Briefings "Bogus." In a post responding to Thiessen's September 10 column, Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler gave the claim that Obama "skips" his daily intelligence briefings three of four Pinocchios, calling it "bogus." Kessler wrote that Obama reads his presidential daily brief every day, but does not "always require an in-person briefing," so it is "specious to say he has 'skipped' " meetings that were not actually scheduled. Kessler also noted that "different presidents have structured their daily briefing from the CIA" in different ways and that "[m]any did not have an oral briefing." [The Fact Checker, The Washington Post, 9/24/12]

PolarisOrbit - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkThe comparison table on the first page indicates a 90GB drive and then it's never mentioned again in the rest of the article. Reply
Denithor - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkAddressed in the first paragraph:
"At the time we only presented performance for a single 240GB drive, however Intel decided to break the mold and send us nearly every capacity in the 525 lineup."
I would imagine that the 90GB model is the one they didn't provide. Reply
AndrewDobie - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkLove my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online.(Click Home information)

philipma1957 - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkfirst what mobo can I buy that will run at sata III speeds.
I have 3 mobos with msata's all 3 use sata II speed's.
I have an intel h77 itx
an asrock z77 itx
an asus z77 matx
second question when will the crucial m500 480gb drop?
third question which has nothing to do with msata just sata. when does sata IV come out.
I get a bit bored with ssd reviews since speed is pretty much capped at 550 read write.
iops are not going to go to 550 read write at random 4k.
so sata 4 would mean all new speeds to droll over.
a bigger msata like the crucial m500 would be nice.
and an itx board that used msata at sata III would be nice.
not knocking intel but ssd's seem to have become more of the same.
As Jimmy Fallon would say bigger harder faster stronger.
oh one last thing the 5 year warranty is nice.
Kristian Vättö - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkCrucial M500 is Q2'13, that's all we know for now. I'm very interested in the drive as well, hopefully we can get samples soon.
SATA Express is the future of SATA, we likely won't see SATA IV (12Gbps) for a few years (if we'll ever even see it). We may see some SATAe based SSDs/mobos H2'13 but I haven't heard any specific time frame. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkThat's disappointing; I was hoping they'd be available by 13Q2 to go along with the Haswell launch since there will be an uptick of enthusiast system building then. Based on prior history my Haswell box will last at least until Skylake launches; and probably until the tick following it four years from now. Reply
ssj3gohan - Monday, February 04, 2013 - link... because I just care that much :D
But seriously, Anandtech. Let's talk logic here. Intel has specification sheets with detailed power consumption numbers. It says for the entire SSD 525 series: 250mW idle typical, 300mW under mobilemark 2007.
How can you look at your own power consumption numbers and say 'well, close enough, let's just publish it even though it's 100% too high and clearly not correct'?
Here's how to fix your SSD power consumption errors: measure power consumption going directly into the drive on all rails and use it in a system that has device initiated power management features enabled (DIPM), that is: basically all operating systems nowadays. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkAs I mentioned in the review, the mSATA adapter we test with only supplies 5V to the drive. To address this going forward I need to modify a board with a native mSATA connector and measure 3.3V on the board itself. The results here at least allow you to compare the various capacities of the 525.
MobileMark 2007 is mostly an idle test, which is why none of our loaded numbers have ever come close to any spec sheet that reports it. This is the same reason we don't use it in our notebook reviews.
We will be switching to DIPM-only testing in our 2013 storage suite update, which will unfortunately break backwards comparability with our older results.
Take care,
Anand Reply
RU482 - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkAnand,
What mSATA adapter board are you using?
Just a thought, you should be able to lift a lead on the 5-to-3.3V regulator on the board and measure the output current with a multi-meter. Reply
extide - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkAlso note that those mSATA to SATA converters use a little linear regulator(like a 7833) to convert the 5v to 3.3v. Linear regulators are very in-efficient, as they essentially turn the "extra" voltage into heat by using a network of resistors.
If you are simply measuring the power into the adapter then you are not getting a very good look at the actually mSATA device power draw.
HOWEVER, if someone else is using the adapter in their system they will also be utilizing that same linear regulator, and thus see the same power usage as they show in the article here. Reply
Shadowmaster625 - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkSo intel is serious about ultrabooks? Their actions seem to prove otherwise.
That SSD controller should be integrated into all their i-series cpus. Windows is slow and unwieldy in large part due to intel not providing an efficient nonvolatile storage platform. If every windows installation had guaranteed access to even a small amount of fast nonvolatile memory, then maybe we would see less cpu cycles wasted moving data around from HDD to RAM to another part of RAM and then back to HDD then back to RAM 50 million times. Reply
FunBunny2 - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkHere's what Linus said back in 2007:
... but Flash-based storage has such a different performance profile from rotating media, that I suspect that it will end up having a large impact on filesystem design. Right now, most filesystems tend to be designed with the latencies of rotating media in mind. Reply
melgross - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkI don't understand why mSATA drives seem to cost more than regular drives. Most drives come in an aluminum case, which isn't cheap to make, plus the assembly that's then required. I would think that these, being just chips on a circuit board, without even the soldered on sockets a regular drive has, would be a good 10% less, not more. Reply
mcnabney - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkManufacturing cost frequently has little to do with MSRP.
An obvious example of cheaper to produce media selling for more would be compact disks and DVDs versus their predecessors using magnetic tape. The digital media had a significant upcharge despite production costs being significantly lower. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkProbably lower sales volumes. Even if the total sales volumes (and marginal development cost per unit) are similar, relatively few consumers are buying mSata vs 2.5" models. This results in less competition between retailers to push margins down and higher expenses for the same (because of the longer time periods between when they buy and sell the devices that their purchase costs have to be covered by borrowing). Reply
melgross - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkManufacturers will be the main customers for these drives. But price also determines sales volume. Price them too high and volume drops. There couldn't have been too much extra R&D on these, as they are basically the same as drives inside a case. The small circuit boards cost little to design and manufacturer, and Intel is paying the same thing for the chips. Reply
RU482 - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkgood to see that newegg is off to some early profiteering with the 120GB version on sale at $169.99 Reply
philipma1957 - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkSimple make a mobo that runs them at sata III speeds. I have yet to find one.
A small form itx with a 480gb crucial m500 running at full sata III would be a reason to buy a mSata.
I really quite a bit frustrated as this block to my build in the coolermaster elite 120 cases. the case allows
an i7 3770k
a full sized psu
a full sized bluray
a full sized hd7970
the better itx mobos have a msata slot that boots but they are sata II.
it is a real shame as this case allows for high over clock speeds with easy mods.
you can have an almost perfect one card machine with the msata ssd.
you can fit a 2.5 inch sata ssd so you can have a very powerful machine but a power wire a sata wire and the drive case itself do make the case more crowded.
Jaseemxx91 - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkCan anybody tell me if this will fit inside my Ux31e Ultrabook?
Anand have said that it has a different port than that of an Mac book Air here
My Zenbook ssd is dead, and i dont know which one to get, that is compatible in my system.
Could somebody help me with this?
I would really love an Answer from Anand himself, as he has already seen and inspected the Connector himself. But as i am not So Lucky guy, i dont really think Anand would even read this :/
Btw, Congrats on this extremelY informative Site of yours. Keep up the Great Work. :) Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, February 04, 2013 - linkAsus uses a proprietary connector as well, so any off the market mSATA drive will not work. Look for specific UX31 drives. Email ASUS, they should be able to provide you with information and maybe even a replacement (for free or for money). If you want to reach Anand directly, try Twitter. :) Reply

Hok - Thursday, February 07, 2013 - linkhello upgrade to my MSI GT70.... love seeing the mSATA tests!!! THANKS! though the transcend mSATAs currently in there don't seem to be that bad... I would just like more storage. (2 RAID 64s)
should I wait for crucial M500? Reply
LeadvilleMatt - Thursday, February 14, 2013 - linkDoes anyone know if the current Intel eSATA 525 supports the E7h Flush Cache command? The original SF-22xx did not.
Thanks. Reply

msahni - Monday, March 25, 2013 - linkHi there,
I am contemplating buying mSATA drives 240GB-256GB range. It is really becoming confusing to purchase a drive considering so many different specs.
My options are
1) Crucial m4 mSATA 256GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
2) Plextor M5M 256GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
3) Intel SSD 525 240GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
4) Mushkin Enhanced Atlas 240GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
I have not been able to get a head to head comparison of the drives anywhere. Most of the tech spec shootouts are of these drives against older models.
Could you please advise which of these drives in your opinion would be the most eligible buy in a real world consumer scenario..
Cheers.... Reply
KVSNARAYANAN - Monday, November 11, 2013 - linkWhat is the difference between Intel 525 Series SSDMCEAC180B301 & Intel 525 Series SSDMCEAC180A301. I want to replace my Intel 80GB with a 180GB. The last 4 digits are A301 & not B301. Where as B301 is easily available in the market the availability of A301 is very negligible. K.V.S.Narayanan - India (email@example.com) Reply

You can't ask for well-thought-out changes off day 1, week 1, or mostly even month 1 play...and that's when the game is out and everyone's in the lab.
If there's anything we do best, it's breaking games and then making everyone suffer with all the cheapness.
A tutorial mode, no matter how "robust" is not going to reel in casuals. Easy inputs are not going to pull them in either. That's not what casuals want.
This sort of thing can honestly help a lot. It would mean more coverage.I know for a fact that Fanatiq is interested in this game. If StriderZero can get him and Knives hooked on the game, it may spread to the FGTV house. Then from there it could spread to the thousands of viewers that house has; if the there's enough interest, hopefully weekly tournaments like Levelup on the WC and the break on the EC can start doing Skullgirls again; and hopefully that interest can build up to more SG at majors and finally EVO.
To a casual player, it's simply a matter of deciding whether you want to pick up a shooter or party game and start having fun immediately,
male fighters for a start.
That's why I think casuals are a lost cause. At best you can try to lure them in with nice graphics, funny references and cool animation. It's much more realistic to try and get more FG players to pick it up. That'll take a while, though. SG is a new game with new IP. FG players hate having to learn new games when they already know how to play older ones.
there not coming as the are not there Ah ,bb,,,,,,yadda yadda yadda all ditched games with the long air combo airdash mechanics,,,,,Except marvel because marvel Chars are gangster
Games based on sf2 , kof style systems... pokes landing 5 hit combos or tekken fight systems sells......airdash juggle anime system is casual aids ebola for fight games
tairdash juggle anime system is casual aids ebola for fight games
Well the casual aids ebola known as P4 is seeing a ton of cashies going crazy over it.
So apparently what Skullgirls had to do to get the casuals was first make an RPG with a really shallow and dry dating sim aspect thrown in, and then release the fighting game afterward.
what is the first thing you do when you pick up a new Fighter? you look for a character. as subtle as it seems, most use the most visual appealing one first. You identity with a character - even if it's just subconsciously. Character loyalty is a huge influence in both, fun and if you stick with the game. Playing a character and making him work makes you another player then simply using the best character. Taste is different, and while I do not have anything against female characters, I first pick characters that I find appealing; the playstyle comes later. For me it's most likely the non-grappler brawler type of guy (Paul in Tekken, Cody in SFA+4) because I can identify the most with them and find them therefore subconsciously most appealing. Otherwise it's a game by game case (Chipp in GG, Gen in Vanilla).I don't disagree, but this sentiment has always confused me. Why do people care what gender the character is? I'm sure dudes played games like tomb raider, blood rayne, whatever other games that force a female main character. In other fighting games there's plenty of people who are happy to choose the female members of the cast, but with skullgirls it does get brought up a lot as a reason for not relating to the characters.
go play the game first then discuss possibilities of it being main game >_>Also, the game looks like one of those flash games you'd find on bored.com or something.
TL;DR SG with 4/4 male/female ratio would have been more successful.
it has. I'm the prime example. I can't really identify with a female character. That I can main a female later on is possible, but at first - the initial factor if I buy/dig a FG or not HAS TO DO WITH THE ROSTER. If the roster is not appealing to me, the game is not appealing to me. All girl cast = not appealing = no buy. It's as simple as that.Severely doubt it.
As to the rest of your post, identifying with a character has nothing to do with gender. You're on some entirely different issue altogether.
pertho attacked me first, saying i get all my life tips from 106th and park.
pertho attacked me first, saying i get all my life tips from 106th and park.
SG is a very hard game for someone who's never picked up a fighting game before.
You should expect it to stop soon honestly. Because the updates to IPS count crouching normals and standing normals as the same thing. So my Filia juggle combo with 5 supers won't work anymore :(EDIT: Yeah uploading videos of tutorials and matches that teach how to play the game would help the community grow I feel like. Once my capture card works again I'm in there, can we just stop with the 100+ hit combo videos and nothing else?

Maybe make a thread in FGD with a title like "Why aren't you playing SkullGirls?" so this way we can understand what is keeping some people away from it. Because I've never heard an actual answer to that question outside of the traditional "the game only has 8 characters" excuse, everything else has been general assumptions about why people don't play it. That said most of the answers won't even be stuff the community can fix, but things we'd have to relay to Mike Z for review to possibly make it more appealing on a broader scale. But the answers that are said which the community can work on, well, the community can work on them.*sigh*
I guess folks is content with making SG the Virtua Fighter of 2D.
Shoutouts to this thread getting filled with a bunch of half-empty forum trolls who ain't got nothing contribute outside of "it ain't gonna happen." Then again, this is the problem with the majority of the community on this site anyhow, too content to just sit and talk shit and not actually step up and make a damn difference. Not just on this section, but most of the damn forums. Straight up disrespect to those of us who've sacrificed time, money and even our physical well being doing stuff for the community.
Some opinions willfully ignored, my two cents:
-Striving for EVO next year is an incredibly, incredibly ambitious goal, which I totally respect but personally believe is us getting ahead of ourselves. I also believe the answer is an elephant in the room, and its always been there. In order to do so is deceptively simple "Get the people to come in droves for it". We've always known that, but therein lies a major issue. 102 entrants is a respectable number for a game that came out months ago, but remains a fraction of even KoF's turnout (This being it's first EVO as a mainstage game, but has been floating the tournament for some time). Focusing on how to turn a 102 turnout into a 1200 turnout is more important than the game's official status at EVO. Without the resources of a Capcom or an Atlus or Namco, without even a physical released, why are we expecting these astronomical numbers so soon? We gotta earn the fans, one at a time, and in my opinion, that's gonna be a slow process.
I am sitting in a dorm in a nondescript college hanging out with a some friends. A buddy says, "hey let's play some skullgirls dude." The girls in the room snicker and some of the guys start dogging on me and a buddy.
I am sitting in a dorm in a nondescript college hanging out with some friends . A buddy says, "Hey, let's play some Street Fighter dude." The name already has recognition in most every one's mind and most of the characters are iconic. It also sounds like a game were people are going to fight and get hurt, not like some pussified hipsterized sounding game where who knows what kind of perverted things are going on.
This never actually happened to me, but a friend told me this story. It happened to him but only it was Arcana Heart. These all girl games are weird to most people.
Also, the game looks like one of those flash games you'd find on bored.com or something.

im retarded and half a sleep but homie a few post above said he scared to put it up there and find out, so i did it for him,,,,,,,now its in the right spot fg discussion .. its a video game forum........all post so far seem decent dont be a pussy lets see this social experiment pan out,, if they put it on blast you can atleast farm data and get a good laugh and see what your obstacles are because they wont hold back..............it will let you know if its a lost hope or a battle worth fightng becuase they wont be looking in this sectionWhy would you make that thread in GD? That's retarded for a number of reasons the first being that it doesn't belong in that sub-forum, the second being that it antagonizes people, the third through a million that you are fucking stupid for not having figured out the first two reasons by yourself.
Have some damn sense. If you want people to play it we have to show people things things that make them want to play it as opposed to taking a shit where they hang out.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/2/2013 (1643 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
KINGSTON, ONT. — Manitoba's Jennifer Jones will head into the final day of the round robin at the Canadian women's curling championship with not much more to be determined than maybe a little slice of Canadian curling history.
With a pair of wins Thursday — a 9-7 thriller over Ontario's Rachel Homan in the morning and a 7-1 shellacking of Quebec's Allison Ross Thursday night — Jones improved to a perfect 9-0 and has now clinched a spot in Saturday's coveted Page playoff 1 vs. 2 game, where the winner advances directly to Sunday's final while the loser gets a second chance in the semifinal.
With one more win Friday — either in the afternoon over New Brunswick's Andrea Crawford or Friday night versus Saskatchewan's Jill Shumay — Jones would clinch first place and the hammer in the 1 vs. 2 game, along with her choice of rocks.
With two more wins, Jones would lock down all those things and write a new chapter in curling's history books as the first team to go undefeated in the Scotties round robin since way back in 1985 — and the first team of any kind to do it since the Scotties round robin became an 11-game affair.
What you have is a Manitoba team that appears to be on the fast track to Riga, Latvia, where next month's women's world curling championship will be held.
"Yay," Jones giggled. "We're pretty excited. Usually, the last round-robin game, we have to do something good to get in a good spot, and this year it's a little bit different.
"Hopefully, we can carry that momentum into tomorrow and then the playoffs."
Jones schooled Homan Thursday morning in the most highly anticipated round-robin game this week.
While both skips made some exceptionally difficult shots, Homan missed far more than Jones and paid dearly every time, most notably in the fourth end when a pair of Homan misses led to a Manitoba four-ender.
When the smoke settled, Jones had blistered the 23-year-old Homan 93-71 in shooting percentage at the skip position and snapped what was a 30-game winning streak for the Ontario foursome that dated back to a cashspiel in mid-November.
Homan was asked afterward if it felt a little like an overfilled balloon had finally burst.
"No, not at all. I'm so proud of my team for winning 30 games in a row — it's unbelievable...
"I predicted we were going to lose a couple games. It's nationals — it's tough. There's so many good teams and we're just trying to get to the playoffs and we're looking really good."
Lost a bit in all of Thursday's focus on Manitoba-Ontario was defending champion Heather Nedohin, whose Canada team followed a loss to Manitoba on Wednesday with another to Saskatchewan on Thursday morning before rebounding with a 5-3 win over Alberta at night to head into Friday in third place with a 7-2 record.
That's a game behind Homan, who followed the loss to Manitoba Thursday morning with a last-rock 6-5 win over Nova Scotia at night to remain alone in second place at 8-1.
B.C.'s Kelly Scott, meantime, has battled her way back into contention and now controls her own playoff fate after a pair of wins Thursday improved her team's record to 6-3.
Scott finishes with a relatively soft schedule against Northwest Territories and Quebec and would do no worse than the fourth and final playoff spot if she wins.
"I think the way we're playing, everything is winnable," said Scott. "I think we've got to be careful not to take anything lightly and to come out and play good. Especially going into playoffs, you want good, precision games."

If it's history and heritage you're after, then book a flight to Shiraz with Qatar Airways. Shiraz has been the cultural cornerstone of Iran for over 2000 years, giving rise to philosophical poets, such as Hafez and Sa'adi. Founded by Darius the Great, it quickly became one of the most important cities in Iran and, during the time of the Zand Dynasty, took its place as the country's capital.
Despite its obvious history, etched into exquisite mosques and found in the remnants of the ancient world, Shiraz has plenty to offer the 21st Century visitor. If you enjoy lush rose gardens, wide, tree-lined streets and the promise of adventure, then this is one to put on the list. Fly to Shiraz for an exotic and evocative holiday destination.
The spotlight always falls firmly on Takt-e Jamshid – also known as Persepolis. It's located about an hour's drive from the city centre, but don't let that put you off. Once you arrive you'll be able to appreciate some of the finest examples of carvings from the ancient world, spectacular rock reliefs, imposing towers and the incredible Apadana Palace. The whole experience is a trip back in time and you can't travel to Shiraz and not see it.
The Hafez and Sa'adi Mausoleums are also a spectacular attraction, celebrating the influential works composed by these mystic poets. Hafez' Mausoleum is set in a beautiful garden and consists of a marble tombstone inscribed with verses from his most important poems. Sa'adi, also one of Iran's most respected thinkers, also has a mausoleum set against a vibrant, green backdrop. Both these sites are important to Iranians with an interest in profound thought.
Naranjestan Museum is well worth a visit, just down the Lotf Ali Road. Part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, you'll find beautiful gardens lined with rows of palm and orange trees. Inside, the Museum is fabulously opulent with a mirrored entrance-hall and beams painted with European motifs – not to mention the amazing archaeological collection put together by Arthur Upham Pope, who taught there in the mid-20th Century.
No trip to Shiraz would be complete without a visit to the Shah Cheragh, a mosque built to honour the brothers Ahmad and Muhammad, sons of the Seventh Imam. However, as entry is only permitted to Muslims, a good alternative is the shrine to Mazar Ali ibn Hamzeh, which boasts mirrored tiles that reflect the kaleidoscopic light that plays through the stained-glass windows.
If you want to get in touch with the local culture, then it's a good idea to eat what the locals eat. Iranian cuisine is unique, being made up of a variety of influences from neighbouring countries and those who have left their marks behind. You'll find a culinary trip to Shiraz takes you on a tour of Greece, Asia and even Russia – so be prepared to give your taste-buds something of a work-out!
Be sure to try polo shushtari – a dish of rice, black beans and chicken seasoned with saffron and dill. Alternatively, look out for street vendors selling osh, a thick soup of noodles, beans, oil and yoghurt to cool the spices. Most dishes are accompanied with flatbreads. Tea is the brew of choice and the tea shops add a musty, aromatic perfume to the street markets and bazaars.
You'll find that shopping on your trip to Shiraz is something of a multi-sensory experience. From the chatter of the hagglers and traders, the smells of perfume and spice and the brightly-coloured rugs on sale, it's a real banquet for the brain. Be sure to check out the rugs; they're hailed throughout the world as some of the best examples of tapestry that you can buy. You'll also find jewellery, food, fabrics and dishes on sale – but remember to haggle.
Of the many bazaars the city has to offer, Vakil Bazaar is probably the most famous and the one with the greatest selections of goods on sale.
Flights to Shiraz will take you to Shiraz International Airport. There are plenty of taxis available and good car-hire facilities.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Shiraz please check the visa and passport requirements.

Brazilian Coffee Benefits from Sustainable Farming Methods
The Sustainable Sourcing Partnership Project Celebrates Advances Made With Organic and Sustainable Farming in Brazil
Brazilian Fair Trade coffee farmers are blazing the trails for sustainable coffee, turning their soil upside down as they continue making moves towards organic conversion. These cooperatives are using sustainable farming practices to change the way the nation's coffee is produced. As Brazil is the world's leading coffee exporter, Fair Trade farmers in the region are in the spotlight as they work to reverse the coffee industry's reliance on fertilizer and high impact farming practices. In the past, high yield was more important than high quality, but things are rapidly changing. Brazilian coffee farmers are working hard to produce high quality coffees that are Fair Trade Certified and Organic in order to improve thier lives and protect the environment.
Brazilian cooperatives have been undergoing a conversion of practices to follow their belief in sustainability. With the establishment of the Sustainable Sourcing Partnership Project (SSPP), Fair Trade USA, USAID, and Green Mountain Coffee have been able to help these farmers access and implement the resources they need to further organic production and create a sustainable environment and sustainable lifestyles.
Everyone is rolling up their sleeves and jumping in. Our own Fair Trade USA team continuously travels to Brazil to bring back not only organic and sustainability progress reports, but also the invaluable stories of the producers who have come together on a mission to revolutionize the nation's coffee industry. Producers describe the impact Fair Trade Premiums have had on their lives, sharing stories about how the premiums have gone to providing healthcare, building schools, and building homes. Now you have the opportunity to meet these Brazilian coffee producers too!
Follow along as we begin a blog series to introduce you to a new cooperative every week as they prepare for the SCAA convention in April. You will learn all about the unique ways Brazilian farmers are making their harvests Fair Trade Certified and sustainable while converting to organic production with our upcoming Producer Profile series. Later on, check out our series on Measuring Impact to learn about the challenges they are overcoming and how Fair Trade Certification and the Fair Trade Premiums have benefited their communities.
In a nation who's economy has been heavily boosted by thriving coffee yields, converting to Fair Trade Certification and organic and sustainable farming practices is no small feat, it's a huge victory.
Help celebrate Brazilian farmers by treating yourself to a delicious Fair Trade Certified coffee.
Check in soon to hear more about the Brazilian coffee projects!

The Magnolia Little League is gearing up for another season, which will officially start with the annual parade on March 29 at 10:30 a.m.
Players will begin staging at 10 a.m. League vice president D.J. Fitzgerald requests that players wear their uniforms but not their cleats.
"Cleats on concrete make for a rough afternoon," he said.
The parade will travel down West McGraw Street heading east, ending at Magnolia Playfield (2518 34th Ave. W.).
The Magnolia Little League serves about 500 boys and girls ages 5 to 12. All of the players march in the parade wearing their softball or basement uniforms and carrying banners from the local business sponsors.
This year, the Mariner Moose and the Seattle Seahawks Blue Thunder Drumline will participate, with the Cub Scout Color Guard leading the parade. A police escort and Seattle Fire Department's Engine 41 fire truck will also be in the parade.
It will last about a half-hour before it arrives at the playfield for the ceremony.
At the ceremony, the Lawton Choir will sing "The Star Spangled Banner," and the jersey number of a former Little League player who passed away from a drug overdose will be retired.
Following the ceremony, a three-inning softball game will kick off the season. Official season games will begin the week afterward.
The athletes who march in the parade will throw candy and get support from their families, neighbors and community, Fitzgerald said. Everyone is invited to attend the festivities.
Tying in the local professional sports teams "brings a lot of pride to the kids," he said.
Playing Little League or softball teaches kids valuable lessons about what it means to be on a team, how to be a good sport and deal with adversity. The Magnolia Little League focuses on skills and understanding the game, rather than winning or losing, Fitzgerald said.
The parade gives kids "a little limelight," he said. "It kind of gets the baseball fever going."

|Strips of round steak, slow stewed with tomatoes and vegetables and served over a bed of garlic cheese grits.
Grillades and GritsGrillades and Grits {pronounced GREE-ahds}, found on the menu at debutante balls and definitely a staple at Mardi Gras, is a dish of smothered beef, slow simmered in a roux and tomato base, though the name literally translated actually means grilled. Made with just about any kind of beef, and sometimes even with pork or veal, I prefer to use inexpensive round steak.
Traditionally grillades are served over garlic cheese grits, which pairs up beautifully and should not be missed in my opinion. You can also make the grits in advance, refrigerate them, make them into fried grit cakes and serve the grillades right on top, which gives a bit of crunchy contrast. If you aren't a fan of grits, polenta, mashed potatoes and rice make a fine substitute - in fact, The Cajun prefers rice himself.
While typically served at a breakfast or brunch and sometimes lunch, Grits and Grillades makes a perfectly acceptable and delicious dinner dish in this house. Serve it alongside a mixed garden salad or a green veggie.
For more of my favorite round steak recipes, visit my page on Pinterest!

Recipe: Grillades and Grits©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
- 3 tablespoons of cooking oil (canola, vegetable, light olive), or as needed
- 1 pound of bottom round steak
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
- 6 tablespoons of all purpose flour, divided
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
- 2 cups of water
- 1 (15 ounce) can of stewed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet
- 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun or Creole seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
- 1/2 tablespoon of dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme, crushed
- Garlic Cheese Grits (click link for recipe)
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium high heat in a large iron skillet that has a lid. Slice the round steak into strips and season with the salt and pepper. Toss the meat strips in half of the flour, reserving the remaining flour, and drop the strips into the hot oil to brown. Remove and set aside.
Add additional oil to the skillet as needed to bring it up to 3 tablespoons. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour and cook over medium high heat until lightly browned. Stir in the onion and green bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in the water and cook and stir until water is fully incorporated and mixture is thickened. Add the meat, tomatoes, Kitchen Bouquet, Cajun seasoning, parsley and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, cover and cook on a low simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, or until meat is tender.
Serve over hot garlic cheese grits, mashed potatoes or rice.
Cook's Notes: Substitute veal shoulder or other cuts of braising beef or pork, trimmed to cutlets and pounded thin. When using leaner cuts, reduce cooking time accordingly.

Dolphin Rescue by Keller Laros from Jack's Diving Locker
Keller Laros, a.k.a. Manta Man had an experience with a wild bottlenose dolphin on the Manta Ray Night Dive in Kona, Hawaii in January of this year. Laros is a PADI Professional Dive Instructor with over 10,000 logged dives. He's been a part of the team at Jack's Diving Locker for over 22 years and this was one the most memorable dive experiences that he's ever had.
Laros recalls, "The dolphin slowly swam among the mantas and divers passing very close to everyone. I noticed it had a small fishing hook and line on and wrapped around it's left pectoral fin. I said "come here" and signaled it with my finger. It swam over and I was able to remove the hook and line using the sheers on my knife to cut the line and I unwrapped it. Then the dolphin swam away. I guess the dolphin knew that divers could help. Gotta love opposable thumb and fingers!"

Brawner Farm at the Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia puts a high premium on its bathrooms. With the supervision of the National Park Service, the park has spent over $578,000 on a "comfort station."
Replacing the standard, plastic portable waste receptacles there previously, one could presume this to be a hand-built, beautiful "comfort facility" for the fine visitors of this park, right?
Well, no. Delivered in two modular pieces, this moderately-sized example of engineering mediocrity (complete with unsightly faux stone siding) sits three of each gender at a time.
Naturally, this fueled our imaginations. How far would $578,000 get you in buying other toilet-rendering facilities in Manassas, Va?
For $575,000 you could purchase a home, complete with 4 (admittedly fewer) bathroom installations right down the street in Manassas.
But away from the bloated Washington, DC metro area prices, what does $578,000 look like?
Well, in Omaha, Nebraska, $550,000 will buy a fine piece of real estate (with plenty left over for a 6th bathroom).
How does the National Park Service turn a beautiful estate in Omaha into a portable potty in a Manassas National Park?
Well, in traditional government fashion, they first paid for a 449-page report on the proposal, coupled aptly with a 90-page "Environmental Assessment for A Comfort Station at the Brawner Farm."
But the real irony: Upon review of the proposal, the bathroom was built to accommodate the 150th anniversary of the First Battle of Bull Run to be celebrated in August 2012. However, it was not open to the public until September 2013, missing its release date by 13 months.
Expensive and too late to serve its intended purpose -- sounds like a perfect government project.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 8.28.14
Welcome to Thurday's The Crap We Missed which will be your last one for the week, because I'm off tomorrow and no, not to wash Fish's car in a bikini. Again. Anyway, you'll also notice the gallery is a little light, because when I blow off work, I go big. So, enjoy almost seeing Halle Berry's vagina, or totally seeing it, I don't know, I ran away screaming "ICKY!!" before I got a good look, Will Forte's bird nest beard that I hope to Christ is for MacGruber 2, and Kris Jenner with Dean Cain proving beyond a shadow of a doubt he's broke as shit, because this exact conversation happened.
"For that price, it's either me or the big one and she's only on sale this week until she gets reshod."
"I don't know, ma'am, I'm so hungry, does any of it come with bread?"

POLICE have released CCTV images of the men they want to speak to in connection with skimming devices which were set up on East Lancashire cash machines.
Officers are re-appealing with the new images after illegal equipment was found on ATMs in Oswaldtwistle and Colne.
The CCTV images were taken outside the Co-Op in Market Street, Colne, where the first device was found on February 16.
At around midday, a man tried to use the ATM to withdraw some money but the machine swallowed his card.
Immediately after he walked away from the machine, another man approached it and withdrew money from his account before walking away.
Two days later, on February 18, a similar incident occurred at a cash machine outside the Co-Op store in Union Road, Oswaldtwistle, when a customer's card was swallowed.
He went into the shop to report it and when a member of staff came out to examine the machine, what appe-ared to be a skimming device was found attached to the card reader.
On this occasion, the customer was able to retrieve his card and no money was stolen.
PC Jayne Chambers, of Burnley Police, said: "If anyone recognises the people in the CCTV images then I would urge them to come forward and contact us.
"I would also remind people to be vigilant when they are using cash machines.
"If you spot anything at all that you feel is unusual, do not use the machine and report it to the owner of the machine."
Anyone with any information about this incident should call police on 101, and quote the log number LC-20140221-0894 for the incident in Colne.
And they should also quote the number LC-20140218-1169 for the offence that was commited in Oswaldtwistle.
People with any information about the men can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111, or also via crimestoppers-uk.org.
