James Duigan, whose diet principles have been embraced by many A-list celebs, is now helping banish 'moobs' and paunches with a healthy-eating book aimed specifically at men. Diana Pilkington takes a look at Clean And Lean Warrior and shares some of Duigan's man-friendly recipes.
By Diana Pilkington
Modern man may be image-conscious, family-oriented and not afraid to shed a tear or two, but how many males want to start the year mainlining cabbage soup or gossiping at a weekly weigh-in?
If you find the idea of channelling your inner warrior more appealing than counting calories, the latest book by James Duigan could be right up your street.
In Clean and Lean Warrior, the Australian personal trainer declares that today's man is becoming "weaker and less manly", addicted to a sedentary lifestyle and relying on coffee to get through the day.
"I see the results of this type of lifestyle on the streets and in my gym all the time," writes Duigan.
"Men walk in for the first time beaten down by modern life, with protruding bellies, rounded shoulders, grey complexions, slim arms and legs and man boobs."
In contrast, he says, our cavemen ancestors led active, outdoorsy lives, slept and ate well and sported Tarzan-like bodies as a result. "Times may have moved on, but biology hasn't," he adds.
As part of his Clean and Lean approach, Duigan urges men and women alike to cut down on caffeine, refined sugar, alcohol and processed foods (or 'C.R.A.P.' for short), which he says are the four main toxins that cause the body to cling to fat.
Duigan, whose clients have included Elle MacPherson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Hugh Grant and David Gandy, wants us to eat 'clean' foods that are as close as possible to how nature made them and to embrace the 'good' fat found in the likes of nuts and oily fish.
Packed with photos of muscle-bound men scaling rocks, boxing and hefting wood in the great outdoors, the book contains tips on achieving a six-pack and working out like a warrior as well as easy recipes for busy people. You don't even strictly need to be a man to enjoy them!
Duigan's top 10 foods 1. Blueberries: Packed with antioxidants, which help the body deal with stress 2. Alfalfa sprouts: Rich in nutrients and high in fibre, they help digestion 3. Organic salmon: The omega fatty acids help protect the heart. It also contains choline, which is good for memory and concentration 4. Organic chicken: One of Duigan's favourite Clean and Lean proteins 5. Kale and asparagus: Both vegetables have antioxidant properties 6. Homemade hummus: A great snack when eaten with crudities 7. Avocado: A source of good fat and potassium and the creaminess of avocado can satisfy a sweet tooth 8. Tomatoes: Contain lots of vitamin C and reduce the risk of heart disease 9. Chilli: Adds flavour and, according to studies, can speed up your metabolism 10. Quinoa: Its health benefits include aiding digestion and lowering blood pressure Here are five of Duigan's recipes to try at home...
Haddock, eggs and asparagus on rye (Serves 1) 1 x 200g fillet undyed smoked haddock 2 organic eggs 70g asparagus 2 slices rye bread, toasted if you like Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Heat a medium frying pan of water until boiling.

Every recording I have done so far has been a stepping stone, a path leading me to where I am today. Each one has been a special moment in time, culminating into this, my newest CD entitled "PILIALOHA"!
A close friendship, a beloved companion, and to be in a bond of love are all qualities associated with "PILIALOHA" the word, and "PILIALOHA" the album! Many of the compositions can certainly be considered love songs conveying affection, devotion and fondness.
New mele written by kumu hula 'Iliahi Paredes includes Ku'u Lei Hiwahiwa, Aia Ka La'i i Ka'uiki and my favorite, Sila Pa'a Ke Aloha all lovingly written to honor a special person. Ka Pua Maka Onaona a song written for 'Iliani's daughter speaks of the little things he loves most about her. And E Ho'i Ke Aloha i Maunawili honors 'Iliahi's kupuna.

Q & A — July 2002
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Knock Knock
| Detonation and how to avoid it, a plugged oil filter, and more.
causes detonation, and how can it be avoided? S.W., via e-mail
One common cause is using fuel with an insufficient octane rating, but detonation can occur even with high-octane fuel, due to a variety of factors. These include ignition timing that is advanced too far, too lean a mixture (i.e., too much air per unit of fuel), and overloading, perhaps due to using a prop with too much pitch. Older engines may detonate due to excessive carbon deposits that heat up and ignite the fuel-air charge before the spark plug.
a recent oil change on my diesel, I noticed an unusual amount of debris
in the oil. What could have caused this? P.T., via e-mail
is the proper maintenance for a raw-water pump? M.B., via e-mail
A better
diagnostic strategy is to note the amount of water that normally exits
the exhaust system at idle. If you feel this has diminished, take a closer
look at the impeller.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/9/2010 (2517 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
That sound of relief you heard from the Polo Park area? The return of QB Steven Jyles to practice.
The No. 1 pivot called in sick Tuesday and Wednesday, and his return to the field this morning was a welcome sight for Bombers coaches. Look past the numbers for a second (OK don't – 63 per cent completion percentage, 14 touchdowns and four interceptions) – it's hard to imagine anyone on the staff feeling comfortable with raw rookies Alex Brink and Joey Elliott heading into the *biggest game of the season against the Lions Saturday. That's no slight to those guys; Jyles is just the better option heading into THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR!!!
*with six games left and the playoff chase underway, every game left is big – just so you know.
Notable observations from Bombers practice:
- Both Terence Jeffers-Harris and Greg Carr figure to be in the lineup Saturday. That probably puts Chris Davis and Adarius Bowman on the outside looking in – but there is still a chance one of those could find a flight to Vancouver.
- Head coach Paul LaPolice says Jeffers-Harris' ankle appears to be 100 per cent, but there were moments at practice where he seemed to be limping a bit. Maybe it's nothing. The reason I bring this up is due to the fact that the player has been lobbying to get back into games for a while now. It will be interesting to see how he does after such a long layoff.
- DB Jonathan Hefney had a pick in the hurry-up drill today. A sign of things to come? LaPolice said Hefney will in a few defensive packages for the Bombers against the Lions, adding that the plan is to fully work him into the defence for the Thanksgiving Day game. Remember: Hefney has only been in two practices this week.
- The Bombers have put DB LaVar Glover (groin) on the nine-game injury list, but that doesn't mean he's done for the year. The club is hoping to relieve some salary cap pressure with the move.
- Finally, a big shout out to those who have donated dough to the Bombers Fine Fund through this website. Talking with some players today, they were amazed at the level of commitment and undying loyalty Bomber fans have. The money will probably be forwarded to a charitable cause, but gesture has not gone unnoticed.

September 29, 2012
Scottsdale, AZ - The Master's College women's soccer team scored three times in the final 20 minutes, completing a dominating 3-1 win over Arizona Christian Saturday afternoon in Scottsdale.
The win was the Mustangs' fourth in a row overall (7-1-2, 2-0 GSAC) and their second straight in conference play, keeping them in a first-place tie.
It took a while for the GSAC's best offense to capitalize on a staggering shot advantage but when it did, the floodgates opened and the Firestorm were washed away.
Despite outshooting the hosts 13-2 over the opening 45 minutes, the Mustangs found themselves down 1-0 after ACU's Chelsea Ruland scored just 6:37 into play. To say that the Mustangs had opportunities to score would be a gross understatement but Firestorm keeper Sydney Roller-Sotak was up to the challenge, notching six first-half saves while preserving the slightest of leads.
That 1-0 lead lasted through halftime and 25 minutes into the second half, further bolstering the Firestorm's hopes of an upset. But, then the Mustangs finally found the range and with it went ACU's hopes.
It started in the 71st minute (70:01) when freshman Tara Struiksma (Ontario, CA) took a through pass from Gia Loza (Corona, CA) and beat Roller-Sotak with her third goal of the season to knot the match at one-all.
Then, less than six minutes later, the Mustangs struck again and this time the tie-breaking and game-winning tally came off the foot of the GSAC's top scorer, Shea Richards (Palmdale, CA). The sophomore midfielder scored her conference-best 10th goal of the campaign from a steep angle on the left side, giving her team a 2-1 lead in unassisted fashion at the 75:50 mark.
The late offensive was capped off just over nine minutes later (84:52) when Richards and Struiksma teamed up for the match's final goal. Taking a cross from Richards on the right side, Struiksma fired in her second goal of the game, giving the Mustangs some insurance and a two-goal lead.
That was more than enough for the Mustang defense and goalie Ilyssa Espiritu to protect as the club cruised the rest of the way. The Mustangs wound up with an overwhelming 32-2 in shots, including a 19-0 showing in the second half.
The victory sets up a midseason showdown next Wednesday (October 3) when the Mustangs welcome No. 14 Concordia to Placerita Canyon. Kick-off is set for 3:00pm on Reese Field.

Meet Jennifer Wagner
Bejeweled Blitz Makes a Perfect Nightcap
As exciting and interesting as life in Manhattan is, it also comes with its share of stresses. Throw in a freelance writing career and an increasingly popular blog and it's no wonder that 52-year-old New Yorker Jennifer Wagner needs to unwind at the end of the day. "I'm on the computer all day," she explains, "and with the blog and everything my mind is always working on something. My brain never shuts off. I have to relax somehow." Fortunately, Jennifer has found a foolproof way to provide herself the break she needs. Every night as she settles into bed she picks up her iPhone and plays Bejeweled Blitz for an hour or so. Jennifer's been playing the game religiously for over a year and still remains happily addicted. "When I play, I can't think about other things. It gets everything out of my head and I can rest," she says contentedly.
And what exactly is jostling for space in Jennifer's brain? Pop culture, mostly. Jennifer is an avid consumer of quality movies, books, music, and television. "I'm a big fan of shows like Parenthood, Fringe, Glee, 30 Rock, and Lost," she says, then adds, "My Netflix queue is pretty big and I've always been a big reader. And thanks to my sons and iTunes I'm able to stay up on the latest indie music." That musical connection with her 20- and 23-year-old boys is no small matter to Jennifer; in fact, it is just that sort of connection that inspired her to start writing her blog, Connect with Your Teens Through Pop Culture and Technology, two years ago.
"My husband and I had just moved into the city from Long Island and I wanted some time to settle in and get organized in the city. But I wanted something to do, too," Jennifer explains. "I remembered how when my boys were at home I'd ask how they're doing or about their day and they'd say 'Fine' and that was it. But if I was interested in the same TV shows or music or whatever we could talk for hours. It was a great way of staying close, of connecting. So that inspired me to start the blog." Through her blog, Jennifer provides detailed updates on the latest trends in technology, television, videogaming and more, all with the intention of helping befuddled parents navigate the crowded pop culture scene in order to find some common ground with their teens. It's Jennifer's hope that once that common ground is discovered, parents and teens can launch the sort of conversations that deepened her bond with her sons.
Oddly enough, for a woman so concerned with people connecting, Jennifer doesn't take advantage of Bejeweled Blitz's social features. "I don't have a leader board," she says. "I play to compete against myself, not others." She also plays exclusively on her iPhone and not on her PC or Facebook. "I prefer playing on my iPhone because I can play anywhere. Plus, it's a break from the computer that I already spend too much time on," she says with a laugh. With the pop cultural landscape constantly expanding, Jennifer's blog is going to need even more frequent updates; happily, Bejeweled Blitz will be there every night, ready to scrub her brain clean and ease her into sleep.

UnBooks talk:Gone Fishing
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Pee Review(s)
|I thought that your humour was pretty good. You have a good grasp of the story you are trying to get across and the characters all develop well throughout the article. I did think there were a couple of minor problems,however. The first thing that I noticed was that while your jokes are all good the formula begins to tire in the first half of the article. Essentially, the grandfather suggests something, the boy questions it, the grandfather gives a poor explanation as to why this is necessary, now this provides ample amusement for the reader especially early on, but as you near 'Epic battle with boredom' section, it is becoming quite predictable. My recommendation would be to just mix in some more developments of this idea. For example, where you said "a history, I'll have you know, that was rife with manly exploits. I know. I was there." "I'll say." Now, I'm not saying just put in a couple more of these jokes, the point I'm making is that this departure from the formula that you already had going in the article made me sit up and start paying attention and I think the rest of the first half of the article could do with some similar ideas. This is less of a problem in the second half of the article since there is plenty in the text to keep a reader entertained. The only other problem that I could find was that the grandfather's dialogue sometimes felt unnecessarily long for the joke you were trying to get across, again this is a relatively minor problem, but I would recommend that you focus on the exchange of dialogue between the characters to provide the majority of the humour. My advice for fixing this would be to keep the majority of what the grandfather says, but go through and cut some of it out. Be harsh with it as I know it can difficult to prune stuff out of an article you are already pleased with, but try to only keep what you feel are the best parts.
|Your concept is pretty good and puts me in mind of articles like this one. The most important thing for you to focus on here is the tone, notably the tone of the boy. Try to keep it consistent throughout, there are parts of the article where the boy seems to be meek and quiet and others where he seems to be louder and prepared to challenge his grandfather on things, these occasions are not frequent but I recommend that you go back and take a quick look, because it breaks the tone slightly. I'm not suggesting that you have no character development in the article at all, but rather that if you are going to have some kind of shift in the boy's attitude and demeanour that it is built up and not just randomly interspersed occasionally. Otherwise I was pretty happy with this.
|Prose and formatting:
|Your prose is fine, there are a couple of typos but nothing to really get aggravated over. The main thing that is hurting your score here is your formatting, your image formatting to be more specific. The images are all quite small and are all relatively spread out throughout the article, this can lead to large parts of the article with no image at all. I don't think you need to put in more images but rather make the existing ones a bit bigger and spread them out a bit. If you take a look at the article the amount of white space is quite staggering, I realise that this is one of the inherent problems when you are using dialogue between characters to make up the article, so if you are unsure of the best way to go about correcting this I would recommend that you take a look at the way these two articles format their images and try doing yours the same way.
|Your images are fine, it is just the above formatting issues that are pulling your score down. As an alternative to messing with the size of all the images, you could consider just adding a new one, you are experienced enough to choose a new image without me banging on about the best way to choose one for another 5 lines, so I will leave that in your capable hands.
|My overall grade of the article.
|Final Score:
|You have a pretty good article here and your score reflects that. The only major problems that I have been able to identify can be fixed with relative ease and there is no need to start meddling with the article's general style and substance. My main recommendations would be to fix the tone problems, revisit a couple of point on your humour and see what you can do with the formatting. As to your VFH query, I would say that if you nominated it now, you would get a real mixture of opinions and would get a few against votes, enough to prevent it passing. However do not take my word for it, I have been wrong about VFH before. Oh and before I forget, thank you for your comment on my talk page on abstaining, it occurred to me that I hadn't responded to you on that, so thanks very much. You can find me on my talk page again if you have any questions or comments about my review. Well done and good luck making any changes.

deGrom, Mets stay hot, sweep Fish to rise in East
Club finishes 8-2 on homestand as rookie cruises, adds RBI to rout
NEW YORK -- To understand how well things have gone for the Mets during this homestand -- which wrapped up Sunday with a 9-1 win over the Marlins to complete the series sweep and give the club its eighth win in 10 games -- all you needed to do was watch the home half of the second inning at Citi Field.
Lucas Duda led off with a double to left-center, just the third of the season to that part of the field for the left-handed batter who only recently re-started hitting to all fields. Juan Lagares followed by not only laying down a bunt to move Duda to third, but beating it out for a single. Then Chris Young -- he of the .199 average entering the day -- lofted the first pitch he saw to center field for a sacrifice fly and a 1-0 lead.
Just like that, during a blink-and-you-miss-it three-pitch sequence, the Mets manufactured a run to open the scoring in yet another win. The Mets went on to score in five innings, including putting up a four-spot to break it open in the eighth, in what was arguably their most well-rounded effort of the 10-game homestand.
"We're playing complete games," said David Wright, who was 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. "The offense hasn't had to pick up the pitching, the pitching hasn't had to pick up the offense. It's all come together these last 10 days or so. It's been fun to be a part of."
Winning has been the case more often than not for New York of late. The Mets came back to Queens a week and a half ago 11 games under .500 and 10 games back in the National League East, with a very real chance that with a poor showing leading up to the All-Star break, they would be clear sellers before the non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Now, though, they're only five games under and have snuck into third place in the division, seven games behind the Braves and Nationals. To be sure, the Mets have a considerable task in front of them to show that this is more than just a fluky hot streak. But right now, they're winning enough to keep things interesting, and they're feeling real good about themselves as a result.
"I was talking to the coaches the first day, and I said if we go 7-3, that's going to be a tremendous homestand for us," manager Terry Collins said. "We've got 36, 35 games left in our division. That's a lot of games to play. Now what we have to do is go out and play like we did this homestand. You're not going to do it every night, I understand that. But for the most part -- play consistent, play smart, play fundamental baseball and we'll get back in the hunt."
Rookie right-hander Jacob deGrom pitched well for the second time during this stretch, tossing seven innings of one-run ball. He scattered five hits and two walks and struck out eight. With a sharp single up the middle in the fourth, deGrom collected his first Major League RBI, too.
The most significant of his 113 pitches came with two on and none out in the top of the sixth. Casey McGehee bit on deGrom's changeup and grounded into a double play.
"That's what [pitching coach] Dan [Warthen] came out and said. He wanted a changeup there and hopefully get a ground ball and that's what happened," deGrom said. "My changeup and curveball were really good today. I used that a lot. My fastball didn't have as much on it as it has had recently, but I located pretty well."
deGrom's strong outing punctuated an impressive first half that saw him transform from a depth option with Triple-A Las Vegas to a big league rotation mainstay. He has posted a 3.18 ERA and .255 opponents' batting average while turning in quality starts in eight of his 12 outings since a mid-May promotion. In his last five starts, deGrom owns a 1.65 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 3.8 strikeout-to-walk rate.
"He didn't even have his best stuff today and did a great job," Collins said.
The other Mets runs underscored the notion that, yes, things are going really well. Ruben Tejada scored when Curtis Granderson's looper fell fair, then bounced into the stands for a ground-rule double in the fourth. Wright had a similar play down the right-field line an inning later, then came home on Lagares' double. Granderson scored in the sixth when, after originally being called out, umpires ruled he was interfered with near second base on Wright's double.
When the Mets started to tack on in the eighth -- those all important add-on runs -- they collected three hits with the bases loaded. Entering the day, the club was 13-for-79 in those situations.
So now everyone besides All-Star Daniel Murphy gets four days off before heading to San Diego for Friday's second-half opener. They'll enjoy the rest for sure, but the recent success has seemingly breathed new life into the team. Wright said the Mets could catch Atlanta and Washington before it's all over, even acknowledging that that is more believable now than it was two weeks ago.
"What we've shown this last 10 days is, yes, we can compete," Collins said. "Now, we have 67 more games, and we have to go out and do it. We can't just talk about it. We have to go do it. But I think if we continue to play like this, September is going to be a fun month."

text: If you are a worship director, choir director, worship leader or music pastor at your church, then you need to get your hands on the new Voxos Choir library from Cinesamples. With this advanced sampling technology, you immediately have a full-fledged choir consisting of sopranos, altos, tenors, basses and even a boys choir at the tip of your fingers. It is not synthesized; it is not looped; it consists of actual recordings of a real choir, sampled, digitized and mapped to a virtual library that you can access using a keyboard and a computer. Confused? Let me explain a little how the technology works.

I apologise if I've put this in the wrong section. I'm currently planning a web app which I want to create with HTML5. I know there's lots of HTML5 development tools/frameworks out there but I was wondering if anyone has views on which would be best for me to use considering the following criteria.
1) I have limited HTML/CSS/Javascript experience (I'm an AS3 programmer by trade) so the simpler the tool to use the better, however I will want to be able to get into depth, something which is literally drag and drop will probably not offer enough for what I want.
2) A framework/tool set that has backend/cloud integration would be great, I'm thinking something like Parse.com but for HTML5.
3) Needs to be free or as close as (I already have the creative cloud CS6 though if that's an option).
Thanks for any advice!
Notepad....any text editor will do, better with syntax highlighting. HTML is not a programming language, it doesn't have a framework or platforms...its just a markup language to mark up content. CSS is the same, just a text file with some light structured rules.
I have to agree with logic_earth, Notepad++ in particular is one of my favorites. If you want a enterprise app then go with dreamweaver or frontpage.
No No No! Frontpage is not even made any more! Microsoft killed it so long ago...why would you even recommend it?!
Don't use front-page or dreamweaver. Those are for design jocks who could care less about quality of the overall web project – just how much it sparkles. Recommending front-page is like that of promoting comic sans usage for long continuous text. If I ran a professional web forum and someone promoted front-page I would ban them for being an incompetent fraud. Promoting things like front-page doesn't do anything but hurt both the industry and new comer to it. I know people are free to say what they want but expect those who are passionate about improving the quality of the web to call it out because front-page for web development is utter and complete crap. I would go far as to put Dreamweaver in that category but I won't…
You don't need a HTML5 framework. What you need to do is if not already familiar learn HTML and CSS. Notice I did not say HTML5, I said HTML. That is because HTML5 is not complete and will only get in the way of learning the basics which when understood can easily be transitioned to HTML5. Considering HTML5 is nothing more than a buzzword for additions and deprecations to HTML4 (draft standard).
What you *may need is a sever-side framework. There are frameworks out there of all kinds from simple to complex from CMSs to merely toolsets. It all depends on the server-side language you would learn, project requirements but *mostly preference. Considering learning any toolset is a huge undertaking. It isn't to practical to become a master of them all but pick one or two and master those.
That would be the semi-proper way to go about things. The proper but less than ideal building your own framework based on specific project requirements. The completely wrong way relying on tools like Dreamweaver, Front-page, Site-grinder, etc to make critical technical decisions for you which they suck at making.
There are frameworks and other tools for developing mobile apps that may be what biggerplay is referring to. Some to check out are:
You are designing a web app. Will this be used for tablets as well as phones? You'll need to learn HTML in such a way that it scales. The latest buzzword for that is Responsive Web Design, or Fluid Layouts, which is designing a site so it scales well across a range of screen sizes.
Use Notepad on Windows or Textedit on the Mac. Nothing fancy. Keep your Google browser open at the side so you can refresh the page and see how you are doing. Learn to use Google Tools to decipher errors quickly.
If you are using a few pages, try iWebkit or Jquery. These are frameworks for web apps.
The above are all free. They will all cost you time to learn.
See my links to learn more about what I was talking about above:http://iphonedevlog.wordpress.com/phonegapcordova-crib-sheet/
Because I still find it very useful, and others may as well. HTML hasn't changed that much to where it wouldn't be, even simple notepad still gets it done

CYPRESS, Texas - A man held up a Cypress bank on Monday afternoon and carjacked a driver during his getaway, detectives said.
FBI officials said a man walked up to a teller at the Wells Fargo Bank on the Northwest Freeway near Spring Cypress about 12:15 p.m.
The man handed over a threatening note demanding cash, investigators said.
Detectives said the teller handed over an undisclosed amount of cash and the robber left the bank.
No injuries were reported.
Investigators said the robber carjacked two people as he got away. The car he stole was later found abandoned, officials said.
The robber was described as black with a dark complexion, in his late 20s to early 30s, 5 feet 5 inches to 6 feet tall and 200 pounds.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

MIAMI, Fla. - The average wedding can cost in the neighborhood of $27,000. But at any price, couples want the day to come off without a hitch.
"This is a special time and you want it to be picture perfect," said Desiree Carreno, Vice President of Magical Plan-It Events in South Florida.
According to Angie's List, the top three wedding complaints center on bridal shops, tuxedo shops and wedding planners.
"When it came to tuxedo rental shops and bridal shops, it came down to orders not coming in on time, not being correct, so really an issue of customer service," said website founder Angie Hicks. "When it came to wedding planners, it came down to things not being completed according to the contract as well as missed deadlines."
Carreno has heard plenty of horror stories.
"I actually had a bride call me last year and her wedding planner had run off with all their money," she said.
Carreno suggests never paying for everything up front.
"If a vendor asks you to do that, walk away," said Carreno.
By making your payments in installments using a credit card, it can give you extra leverage if you need to challenge a fee.
"You also want to document everything in writing and log all of the phone calls you have with vendors," said Hicks.
When choosing the specialists involved in your wedding, Careena said don't just go by someone else's recommendation.
"You or your wedding planner needs to go see them in action at a wedding. That takes time and legwork but it will give you a true picture of how they perform," she said.
When Nance Fowler hosted a wedding for a friend, the bride insisted on using a florist without much review.
"She picked them just because she thought they were nice," said Fowler.
On the day of the wedding, the florist showed up hours late and unprepared.
"I was running around trying to get things together, and ultimately, we did," said Fowler. "The bride never knew but it was a lot of unnecessary anxiety."
Another wedding disaster can be a blown budget. One of the biggest factors in that total cost is the number of guests. Don't be surprised if both sets of parents want to invite everyone they've ever met, so the best advice there is to set the limit early and stick to it.

James and I are happy to report that we are expecting our third child this winter!
My energy is slowly creeping back in. There was actually a day this week where I decided to wake up and embrace an early morning before my kids did, instead of dragging my feet into the kitchen to fetch bananas and water while holding one on each hip.
Note to significant others of a pregnant woman:
- Don't take it personally
- Learn to read minds
- The occasional nap is a not an indulgence, it's a necessity (we are doubling our blood and building a human!)
- These Pregnancy Nausea Tips are a G-d send
Nesting mode is starting to kick in. I've been getting rid of clutter, reconfiguring rooms, reorganizing EVERYTHING etc… my mind doesn't stop. I'm looking into meditation for that.
All of the craziness, exhaustion and moodiness aside, James and I are beyond elated and feeling so incredibly blessed. Olivia and Joshua are in on the news and seem to be excited about a baby coming into the family. And James, thank you for being the loving, caring and understanding husband and father that you are.
Happy Labor Day weekend to all of you! And thank you for letting me share a bit of my journey.

After becoming familiar with the daily routine during my first week, String 7 Zookeeper Liz allowed me and the other interns to do many of the animal feedings and exhibit cleanings on our own. In addition to the daily pellets, the meals of the domestic pigs and rabbits consist of specific amounts of fresh produce and greens.
The Oakland Zoo's Veterinary Care Center, the commissary and the string's zookeeper work together to ensure each zoo animal has an appropriate diet. Sometimes, I help prepare the diets of the lemurs, pigs and rabbits by selecting produce from the commissary's walk-in refrigerator and cutting up the correct amounts for each animal. Although slicing pieces of sweet potato or cantaloupe isn't a physically demanding portion of my job, it is extremely important to pay attention to detail because each animal has unique nutritional needs. There is even a scale located in the Children's Zoo kitchen to help us measure out grams, if necessary.
Each primate night house contains a calendar to mark each day's enrichment. One of the lemur enrichments I did this week was configure pieces of newspaper into "candy wrappers" that contained their meal. The other interns and I wrapped chunks of cut produce into sheets of newspaper. At first, the lemurs did not approach the newspapers, but then a Ring Tailed Lemur picked one up and began opening it. Other forms of enrichment include piles of straw with scents mixed in and wooden bird toys hung with fruit in them. Besides stimulating their senses, the daily enrichment encourages the lemurs to forage for their food, much like they would in their natural environment.
One of the most interesting opportunities this week was watching Liz do clicker training with the Ring Tailed Lemurs. During the individual training sessions, some of the lemurs acted more relaxed than others, allowing the zookeeper to trailer the training to the lemur. The goal of much of the training revolves around veterinary and husbandry purposes, such as having the lemur sit quietly on a mat while the keeper holds a stethoscope to its chest. The zookeeper also worked on having the lemur sit still while waving a pretend chip scanner over its back, which could be done to identify an unknown or escaped lemur. One of the new commands Liz began was "stand." She used a small target ball on the end of the stick, and she first rewarded the lemurs for showing interest in the target and then worked her way up to having them touch it with their hands. It was amazing to be able to observe how quickly some of the lemurs caught onto new commands and how sensitive they were to the trainer's body posture.
Read more about what I have learned regarding operant conditioning and the use of clicker training during my upcoming Week 4 blog post.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/1/2013 (1680 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The book is nearly closed on an elaborate, never-before-seen scam that bilked Manitoba taxpayers out of more than $800,000.
Jasmyne Garand-Jones pleaded guilty Tuesday to her role in the largest vehicle insurance fraud case in provincial history. She joins 29 other co-accused who have previously disposed of their cases, leaving just a handful of suspects before the courts.
Garand-Jones, 24, was given a year-long suspended sentence and ordered to pay nearly $8,000 in restitution. Her penalty is similar to what the majority of other accused have received.
Police began investigating in 2005 after learning dozens of used cars with hefty mileage were being purchased in Ontario, brought to Manitoba and altered to reflect greatly reduced odometer readings, which increased their value. The accused would then make phony "sales" to each other, insure the vehicle at the increased price and then stage a series of accidents and thefts in order to cash in.
In Garand-Jones' case, she was involved in buying a 1999 Lincoln Navigator with an odometer reading of 179,000 kilometres. That was reduced to 95,000 kilometres by the criminal organization. The group then staged a car crash, which prompted Garand-Jones to make a claim to Manitoba Public Insurance. She was given a $2,400 payment for repairs.
Weeks later, Garand-Jones reported the same vehicle had been stolen and was eventually given a $16,600 settlement from MPI. In reality, the vehicle was worth far less with its legitimate odometer reading. And it hadn't really been stolen, just hidden away.
Police arrested Garand-Jones and the co-accused in 2009 as part of Project Rollback.
Defence lawyer Ian Histed told court Tuesday his client got involved at the request of other family members who were also charged and asked her to do them a favour.
"She blinded herself to what was going on," he said. Garand-Jones has no prior criminal record and is a single mother with two young children, court was told.
Queen's Bench Justice Brenda Keyser rejected her bid for a discharge, which would have prevented her from having a conviction on her record. Keyser said people like Garand-Jones are "instrumental" in allowing these types of scams to succeed.
"These fraudulent schemes affect all Manitobans and needs to be denounced soundly," she said.

Impossible?Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
I am sometimes a single cell, feeding. When times are rough I coagulate with more like me to become a moving thing, a multicellular organism, looking like an animal. I move to a better place to live, and become a plant. As a plant I grow many small black spores, and release them, to reproduce.
What am I?
AnswerI am a slime mold.
It starts off as a single cell organism, feeding on its surroundings. When the food source gets scarce, it gets together with more slime mold and becomes an organism that is called a pseudoplasmodium and is capable of slug-like movement. It crawls to a more favorable location, and changes into a plant. It erects a stalk which grows small black spores which it releases all at one time, and the process starts all over again.

Weird and Funny Photos
Here is another collection of weird and funny photos with various motives. Enjoy!
Trinity Church
Since someone has show interest to know where is this church from, I have done some research and here what I have found: Trinity Church is a small Russian Orthodox church on King George Island near Russian Bellingshausen Station in Antarctica. It is the southernmost Eastern Orthodox church in the world and also is the evidence of great human architecture at the south pole. Built in 1990s, the church is a 15m-high wooden structure built in traditional Russian style. It can accommodate up to 30 worshipers at one time. The structure was built out of Siberian Pine by Altay carpenters, then dismantled, taken by truck to Kaliningrad and shipped to King George Island by the Russian supply ship. Above is the spectacular view of the said southernmost church in the world. (source)

If you like rivalries, this is a particularly good week to be watching the NFL.
Maybe best of all, Bengals-Steelers, with both teams coming off wins and looking to establish their credentials as not only an AFC North power, but a Super Bowl contender.
"Physical. Heated. It's going to be a good game. It's going to be a slugfest," says Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert, who won't be involved because of an ankle injury.
"We play them every year, twice a year, sometimes three," Cincinnati cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick adds. "They know us personally, and we know those guys personally. So it's a little different."
Rivalries tend to be that way, whether in Week 2, Week 17 or in the postseason. Remember, this was the matchup in an AFC wild-card game the Bengals blew when Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones flew off the handle in January.
"We're a pretty cool team," defensive end Cam Heyward says. "We don't get too high or too low. We try to stay pretty focused on the goal, that's to win the game. All that ulterior stuff is hoopla. We don't pay attention to it."

As someone who has been in the restaurant business for more than 30 years, Jerry Murphy has learned a thing or two about what works. For him, it can be narrowed down to two adjectives that he repeats over and over: fresh and high-quality.
And that's a good way to describe his business, Murf's Frozen Custard and Jumbo Burgers in Brookfield.
Located just west of the intersection of Burleigh Road and 124th Street, straddling the border of Wauwatosa and Brookfield, Murf's has become a favorite of families and local patrons since it opened in 1999. (Murphy previously owned another Murf's in Waukesha, which he sold to an employee. The two restaurants are not otherwise affiliated.)
The menu at Murf's is simple and basic: burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs and fish fries ... and, of course, custard. Everything is made-to-order fresh with quality ingredients.
As Murphy describes it: "We serve high-quality 'faster' food. Nothing ever sits. I'm a stickler for great customer service and cleanliness. We have a good core menu of favorites and, sometimes, I'll put quirky things on the specials menu."
One of those "quirky things," the sloppy fried egg sandwich ($5.59 to $7.19), has become so popular in its various versions - cheeseburger, steak, chicken, bacon - that it is now a regular menu item. Other favorites include the five-ounce, 100 percent ground sirloin jumbo burger ($3.59), the bacon cheeseburger ($4.99) and the Friday three-piece fish fry ($7.99).
And then there's the custard, which is made right on premises in small batches with "special" ingredients. Two of the most popular special flavors include Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel and Butter Pecan.
Murphy also is proud of his fundraising efforts in conjunction with local nonprofit groups and his incredible specials that bring in lots of customers.
"We're a very high volume restaurant - a tucked-away jewel," Murphy says. "Murf's is a great value."

Haha ofc apple users spend more I mean to qualify for an apple user you have to what own an apple computer? I guarantee any "pc" user. That's making 25000 over the average of user will have an apple computer too.
These types of articles are dumb. Statistics just use loopholes to make anything look better.
Joking (mostly) as it seems fairly obvious that someone using a more expensive computer will in general have more money to spend on luxuries. It's like producing an article saying Ferrari drivers spend more on hotels than Ford drivers.
I have a MacBook pro, a new MacBook Air, and both cost me over $2000 total. Doesn't make me rich though. I am still cheap, searching all over the web for the cheapest plane ticket and the cheapest hotel package. I mean I don't choose to live in a run-down $30 a night motel but I don't pay $300 a night at a fancy hotel either. So I think it just so happens that those who purchase more expensive packages also happens to own a Mac.
That's also ironic. It also makes the Mac users kind of stupid. Which is embarrassing.
Wait a min... are you that guy that gives out pennies on Halloween?! I knew you looked familiar...
How does having more money and spending it on things you can afford make you dumb? Some people make more than others, I don't spend my money the same way now as I did when I was in college barely getting by. It's all a matter of perspective...
Depends on what you're looking at. The article was saying some of these people buy more expensive packages at the same hotel another person would be at buying a cheaper package.
Isn't it dumb to see the same package or nearly identical package but one chooses to buy it for $100 more when a cheaper package was available? I pull up a search for a flight from Dayton to LA, and there are flights ranging from $350-$700. They are all coach flights just different airlines. Now why on Earth would I buy the $700 ticket when there is one for $350? If I didn't like the $350 airline well I still wouldn't go and buy the one for $700, maybe I'd find an airline I liked closer to $350-$400 but it's the same flight. Now who in the right mind is going to pay more than they have to?
Here is another article that actually says orbitz presents more expensive rooms to Mac users. I don't think more expensive rooms means same room but costs more. I doubt many of them are even in the same hotel.
Orbitz Presenting More Expensive Hotels to Mac Users - Mac Rumors
I take it when it says somebody spends 30% more in a general sense, that's 30% more that is unnecessarily spent. You have two 4 star hotels in the same area, you spend on the one that's more expensive when the two separate hotels are the same ranking. Same thing isn't it?
This is just proof of how stupid "apple fanboys" are.
Elite machines for elite owners......

slayernine - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkIt gets out of sync past halfway through the video. Reply
Ryan Smith - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkYes, it is. Let me see if I can get that fixed. Reply
Ryan Smith - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAlright, that should fix it. Sorry about that, guys. Reply
Meekers - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkCould we get a break from the barrage of Haswell related reviews for some Richland benchmarks? Reply
richardginn - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkMeekers IS RIGHT!!!!! Reply
Space69Monkey - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkRichland is just a Trinity refresh with a Gesture software package. CPU and GPU are both the same, just run a little faster in frequency. This is why it's not really news. Reply
Meekers - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkSupposed to be much lower power and much better use of boost states to stay at higher frequencies longer. Would love to see benchmarks against a i3-3225 in a few games and general use applications. Do not need a whole review, just enough to see if Richland accomplished what AMD claimed and is worth the price premium they are looking for. Reply
richardginn - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkBS Space69Monkey!!! This is a news worthy item since it is a whole new batch of CPU'S from AMD. Release the benchmarks since the chips are already for sale at Newegg.com.
Even Haswell was a refresh of Intel's last offering. Reply
Flunk - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkHaswell is not a refresh, it's an updated architecture. The GPU is very different and the CPU is also improved. Reply
richardginn - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThe only GPU that is different is the IRIS pro stuff. Not that HD4600 crap that can't even compete with the AMD Trinity offering. Reply
Space69Monkey - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkNot really. Until there is proof that Richland is anything more than thunder to spoil the Haswell launch, to me its just a good marketing ploy. The hardware support for gestures is its biggest news story so it could grab more of the mobile laptop market. If they missed the Kaveri launch i could see being upset...but Haswell is a much bigger fish to fry. Reply
Hector2 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkYeah, right. This "refresh" just added another year to the distance between Intel & AMD Reply
K_Space - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link+1
I was very much expecting a desktop Richland review for the HTPC space given: 1) the recent Haswell for HTPC piece and how expensive Haswell is 2) Richland desktop has launched, I'd have imagined it'd be a worthy piece of news.
Instead I see Haswell for 1440p?!!! seriously?! Reply
kallogan - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkyay a goldy shiny mozarboard. Reply
kmi187 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkCould not agree more, it's almost like it's the only thing that matters.
Aside from Richland I would also like to see a proper Asus Sabertooth 990FX/GEN3 R2.0 review. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkYeah, I don't see why we can't continue with Haswell until we get through all of the related new hardware for it. Anandtech will get to Richland and report the facts about it in due time.
I'd rather see them do a thorough job on one platform, then switch to the other and do a thorough job with it, than try to swap back and forth in their testing labs just to make AMD users happy (or if they had done Richland first, Intel users). Reply

lalutte - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link+2
Black and white would look so good or at least go plain metal on some pieces. Gold is hideous. Reply
Omega215D - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkI wonder if the SOYO Dragon color scheme will ever make a comeback. I never really cared for it much but at least it was unique. Reply
Montago - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkAgree - Gold is hideous...
I loved the Blue colors from my previous 3 Asus mobos (one of them BlackPearl though)
but, who cares, my box don't have a window and ill probably get a ROG next time Reply
Sm0kes - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkIs it safe to say Thunderbolt is officially dead?
With every manufactures lineup release, it's clear that implementation is non-existent. Reply
eanazag - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkIt is not dead. There was a Gigabyte board in the video that had two ports. The problem is weak Windows support for it. I think we should expect to see it in Windows 8.1/ or .2 tablet configurations for docking in the future. USB 3 is okay, but gaming just doesn't happen on it. Only good for 2D. Reply
critical_ - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAnandtech needs to do a dedicated post on the Thunderbolt issue.
I picked up a new Intel (Haswell) Core i7-4770K. I am looking for a Thunderbolt equipped motherboard to finish the build. My basic preferences are Intel NIC (dual NIC is prefered. No Realtek, Killer, etc. NICs.), FireWire, and at least one Thunderbolt port (dual is preferred). This is what I have found so far:
Intel DZ87KLT-75K
Pros: Dual Intel NICs, FireWire, (single) Thunderbolt, and Intel reliability. Many of the first Haswell "overclocking" reviews were conducted using this board. I can get the same discount on this board as I did on the CPU.
Cons: I need to get confirmation regarding whether the on-board Lucid (VirtuMVP?) solution allows a discrete graphics card (dGPU) to utilize the Thunderbolt port (Intel integrated graphics through Thunderbolt as an only option is a non-starter). This item is the part of the last Intel motherboard series before their board division is absorbed elsewhere. Popularity of this motherboard is still too early to gauge but I prefer widely bought items because of the community's ability to address issues and provide unsupported enhancements.
Asus Z87-Deluxe/Dual
Pros: Dual Thunderbolt. It's the top-of-the-line Asus mainstream motherboard so chances are that a community of owners will form on one of the forums.
Cons: No FireWire support. Dual NIC but one is Realtek (the other is Intel). I don't need or want WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC but I'm certain they can be disabled in the BIOS even though I'm still paying for them. There is no mention of Lucid VirtuMVP support in the specifications so I, again, wonder if the integrated Thunderbolt ports will display dGPU output instead of iGPU-only.
Asus Z87-Expert
Pros: (Single) Thunderbolt. Asus brand.
Cons: No FireWire support. Single NIC. I don't need or want WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC. There is no mention of Lucid VirtuMVP support.
Asus ROG motherboards
Pros: ASUS brand.
Cons: No FireWire support. All are single NIC. All of these have a TB_HEADER port if/when Asus releases their ThunderboltEX add-on card, we'll get Thunderbolt support. People have been waiting for almost a year for this add-on card to be released for Asus Z77 and H77 boards. Rumor has it that there were problems with validation. Whether those problems are technical or political (aka profit-related) is up to anyone's interpretation.
Gigabyte Z87X-UD7 TH & Z87X-UD5 TH
Pros: Both the Z87X-UD7 TH and Z87X-UD5 TH have dual Thunderbolt.
Cons: No FireWire support. Both have a single Intel NIC. The wireless features are unneeded. dGPU Thunderbolt support hasn't been clarified. The biggest issue is that neither is available at the moment.
ASRock Z87 Extreme9/ac
Pros: Dual Thunderbolt. Dual Intel NIC.
Cons: No FireWire support. I need a rock-solid performer and ASRock, like any other brand, has its detractors. The problem is those detractors are mostly in my circle of tech friends so I'm hesitant to give it a try. The wireless options are useless to me. I can't find it for immediate purchase anywhere.
Supermicro C7Z87-OCE
Pros: Supermicro reliability. Dual Intel NIC (with support for teaming!). Single Thunderbolt. FireWire. Supermicro support has confirmed this board supports CPU and memory overclocking. It also works with Intel XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility). It feels like they used Intel's reference design above. Supermicro also has a Xeon E3-1200v3 series board that looks just like this with Thunderbolt support.
Cons: Lucid VirtuMVP support isn't mentioned. Availability is an issue.
I received an email yesterdat that EVGA has no plans on releasing a Thunderbolt-equipped Z87 motherboard but they could offer one in the future.
As this point, no motherboard on this list is perfect.
Quite frankly, I'm not sure why. Blaming poor Windows support is fine but it has to start somewhere. Could this be a perfect example of both the chicken and the egg problem in tech AND the fact that Apple's Thunderbolt push has failed to inspire the tech world to produce products? Either way, I'm stuck. At this point I'm leaning towards the Intel motherboard but if I give up Thunderbolt then there are a lot more options that I can buy today. Reply
mwildtech - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI really like Asus boards, but this 80's gold stuff is killing me..... Reply
cyberguyz - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAnand,
Your mic seems a little bit directional. JJ is nice and loud, but half the time you are sounding like you are speaking from the back of the room. Reply
DLeRium - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linki kinda wish this was text for me to read, especially when at work. Reply
adityanag - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkIf you turned the mic 90 degrees ( so the knobs faced you) the sound would be much better.. that mic sounds like it has a 120 degree field, and you (Anand) are sitting outside that.
I'm sure people who know everything about that mic will now tell me how wrong I am :) Reply
madwolfa - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkASUS went gypsy-style. What's wrong with red or black? Reply
hpascoa - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAs someone who is considering building a new system this Summer using a Haswell processor and an Asus ROG board, I have a couple of questions:
1) Back in April it was widely reported that there is a bug on the 8-series chipsets that causes USB 3.0 devices to fail when the system wakes up from some of the sleep modes. Intel released information that a new stepping of the chipset would be necessary to fix the problem. Since then I haven't heard any more news about it. Did Intel release the new stepping in time for launch, or is the first batch of motherboards shipping with this bug? And if so, when are they supposed to start shipping with the new chipset revision?
2) Having checked out a few online retailers such as NewEgg, Amazon, etc. today, it seems the Asus mainstream and TUF series are already available for purchase at this time, however the ROG series are not available yet. When is availability of these boards expected in the retail channels, specificaly the Maximus VI Formula? Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThe first fixed chip sets will go to oems in July. After that it's a question of how long it takes them to flush the retail channel of older boards.
http://www.legitreviews.com/news/15374/ Reply
JDG1980 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkExpecting early adopters to live with this bug is really not acceptable. For people who regularly use hibernate mode instead of shutting down, this is a real show-stopper. They should have delayed the launch until the updated chipsets were ready, and eaten the loss of recalling the defective parts. Reply
critical_ - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkSupposedly, Intel's flagship Haswell motherboard already comes with the revised chipset. Reply
IntelUser2000 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkGigabyte reported to 4Gamer.net that the issue doesn't appear with all USB devices and depends on the controller of the device. Also, its fixable by a Microsoft hotfix.
The 1-chip Haswell platform with the U and Y series don't exhibit the issue at all, as Intel addressed it well before launch. Reply
JonnyDough - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI actually like the gold. Red clashes with blue cases and blue lights. Gold and black can go with just about anything. If it were up to me, I'd utilize some more gray, or even try WHITE PCB with black slots. Why? Because it looks great under a UV light, or with color cathodes/LEDs. Reply
rituraj - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkFinally someone who likes gold. But I wish there were other gold themed components like RAM heat spreaders, coolers etc. to go with it, because a slight imbalance in the color theme will ruin the whole thing.
Perhaps a Golden Cooler Master Cosmos III, or am I asking too much?? Reply
LancerVI - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkI've always been an Asus man. Always. However, I'm shallow. I don't use the RoG boards because I'm not into red. Their blue deluxe boards were always perfect for me. Again, I'm shallow, their must also be form with my function.
As much as I like wearing gold, these boards are garish. I went Gigabyte, let alone any other manufacturer besides Asus, for the first time....well, ever. I'll be first to admit it was all over the color.
You see. I'm shallow. Reply
LancerVI - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link*there not their

"Again, I'm shallow, their must also be form with my function."
See? Reply
JonnyDough - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkMy comments:
I love ITX. Can't wait to rock LAN parties with such a tiny box. What I want to see on ITX boards:
High quality audio. Single gigabit NIC is fine. 4 USB ports is fine too, I still have no use for USB3.0. Overclocking is pointless to me considering the power in today's CPUs, but it's a fine feature for those who want it. It was fun and made sense on Athlon, but today it doesn't really get me much more performance.
Longevity is great, considering that I won't be upgrading nearly as often (I made the jump from Opteron 185 OC'd - equal to a low end Core 2 Duo up to a Core i5 IVB and never really missed much). I'd love to start seeing seven year warranties. For a high quality ITX board with a great warranty I would spend $200. For a typical ATX board I won't spend more than around $100.
It's good to see things like PS/2 ports finally being dropped off motherboards more and more. Those are so archaic they have cavemen laughing. I posted this in the Gigabyte preview: "Orange and neon green are fine, but obviously won't meet everyone's tastes. What we need are options. Make PCI-E and memory headers customizable/swappable. It's one more thing to sell us, and it gives us options. Try adding a bit of LED accent lighting to the board, just to give it a cool factor. Let users push a button to switch between colors. :)" Reply
sna1970 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkuse usb sound cards for itx ... or just use the optical sound and get a receiver ... The sound quality will be determined by the Reciever you choose when you use optical out , not the card. all optical out give the same signal regardless of which sound card is being used. the sound card/onboard sound changes the digital to analoge, but if you dont change to analoge from the sound card , and use the optical/digital out , the qualit of the reciever you buy is the important.
so there is no need actually to ask for good onboard sound ... Reply
Calinou__ - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - linkdat audiophile.
Fun fact: dedicated sound cards are useless since 2006 or so. Reply

I always want to buy / recommend ASUS motherboards, as I believe you put a lot of thought into them, but then I end up going with other vendors after getting lost in your confusing product lineup :-/ Reply

dgingeri - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkThoroughly disappointing. I looked these boards over on NewEgg, and the I/O area just looks mostly empty, with so few USB ports, while there are tons of headers at the bottom of the board. The slot layouts don't make much sense, either. I'm really disappointed with these new boards, even if I was interested in getting one of those boring Haswell chips. I'm disappointed in the processor. I'm disappointed in the chipset features. I'm disappointed with the performance. This is going to be another decade, or maybe even more, where we will get no technological advancement, like the early P4 days. Intel sucks. Reply

Rovek - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAsus Deluxe is ugly...great features but i can`t look at it Reply
Panzerknacker - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - linkAlso out of sync for me, and I recommend the use of some softer materials in the recording room since the sound becomes ugly like this.
Also waiting for Richland benchmarks, Haswell kinda seems more like a notebook thing, those desktop Haswell chips show only power consumption improvements and barely any performance gains, not interesting for me. Reply

Southwest starts Houston service on Nov. 4. United flies to Mammoth starting Dec. 20. Meanwhile, WestJet puts its Calgary service on winter, with the last flight on Oct. 27.
It's all part of the autumn shuffle of flights and destinations at John Wayne Airport as airlines shift priorities as warm turns to cool then cold.
The one new service is Southwest Airlines' plan to begin nonstop service between John Wayne Airport and Houston's older, smaller Hobby Airport on Nov. 4. The daily flight in each direction will put the airline in competition with United Airlines, which flies between Houston's larger but more remote George H.W. Bush International Airport and Orange County. Hobby Airport is more convenient to the city but lacks many of the connections of Bush International.
United begins its non-stop snow season service from John Wayne Airport to Mammoth on Dec. 20 and plans to continue it through early April.
WestJet will end daily Calgary service following the flight of Oct. 27, but plans to resume flights in April. The Canadian carrier will continue to serve Vancouver with daily non-stop service.
The new Southwest flight is part of a major Southwest expansion at Houston Hobby Airport. The airline has received approval to build a $100 million international terminal to handle future flights to Mexico and other destinations in Latin America, the Houston Business Journal has reported.
Currently, Southwest does not fly internationally. However, its wholly owned subsidiary, AirTran, flies to Mexico – including service from John Wayne Airport to Cabo San Lucas and Mexico City.
Southwest would need to get federal approval to begin flying beyond the United States. The airline has said its long-term plan is to merge the AirTran operation into Southwest and operate under the Southwest brand. The airline also recently renegotiated its contract with its flight attendants, opening the door to flights over water, including possibly to Hawaii.
Meanwhile, Mexican carrier Interjet continues to promote its new service from Orange County to Mexico City and Guadalajara. Along with free bags and free ticket name transfers, the airline is also touting a rarity in the airline business: one of three toilets on each flight will be designated for women only.
