Stats corner: Cole among best debuts for Bucs
Gerrit Cole's big league debut on Tuesday made PNC Park the nexus of baseball activity, attracting national media pundits and 30,000-plus fans to scrutinize the former No. 1 overall pick's every move. If anything, though, the hype didn't do Cole justice.
Nobody said he could hit, too.
Cole surrendered two runs in 6 1⁄3 innings, topping out at 99 mph on the radar gun and retiring 13 consecutive Giants hitters at one point. The 22-year-old also bested two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum at the dish, collecting two RBI by punching a fastball into right field with the bases loaded.
Few Pirates pitchers have ever enjoyed a better first major league start as measured by Win Probability Added (WPA), which estimates how much a player increases his team's chances of victory on a per-play basis. For example, players get ample credit for driving in runs with the bases loaded or escaping bases-loaded pitching jams because those plays greatly increase their club's chances of winning. The higher the WPA, the more praise a player deserves.
Cole's contributions on the mound and in the batter's box add up to the fifth-highest WPA ever for a Bucs pitcher making his first big league start. Rick Reed takes top honors, blanking a juggernaut Mets lineup over eight innings in 1988.

Cole produced in more pressure-packed situations during his first MLB start than other recent No. 1 overall pitching selections, including Stephen Strasburg (.076), David Price, (-.033) Luke Hochevar (-.059) and Pittsburgh's top pick in 2002, Bryan Bullington (-.35).

Washington, Aug 30 (ANI): James Franco, who is directing a movie called "The Sound and the Fury", thinks that having the honour of working for him in his latest film is greater than making any money.
His search for a female lead led to a casting call being sent out- one that offered low pay and said employment by Franco "in itself can be considered great currency," Radar Online reported.
According to the call obtained by the publication, the movie- which is based on William Faulkner's novel- will be a feature film that will take 13 days to shoot and operate on a low Screen Actors Guild budget.
The role for the film is for an African American woman between the ages of 45 and 60. (ANI)

Jamming The Kill Switch
Before the tragic events in Boston grabbed our attention, I was investigating the claims of experimental microwave tests on humans and whether or not signals could be used to electronically harass and jam signals going to the brain. I was curious if electronic waves and the bombardment of the electronic cloud could be used as a weapon against human beings.
This is a work in progress and, while we have not yet come to any conclusions, we have most certainly have some very interesting circumstantial evidence that there is an invisible weapon where frequencies can be jammed, manipulated and used to transmit information or disinformation.
This will be used and is being used as a powerful tool for spying, torturing and procuring the surveillance state, both for the benefit and detriment of human kind.
The topic of mind control, gang-stalking and psycho-surveillance are merely points to ponder and are still relegated to conspiracy theory even though evidence has shown that devices can be used to trigger emotional responses, rudimentary bombs and major investigations into where you live, who you associate with and whether or not you should not be above suspicion.
The Boston Marathon bombing is now being called the event that will shape a new definition of terrorism. While that is arguable I would say that the event has revealed that the idea of jamming or transmitting signals to trigger an event is now going to be the new trend. Weapons triggered from a distance, and sleeper assassins awakened through the use of ultra low frequency mind control.
When one scans through the daily news it may not occur to most people that there are always tidbit s that are embedded within stories that reveal some very interesting things about what kind of power law enforcement has and what they have at their disposal to try and find suspects in major crime events like the bombing of the Boston marathon.
I was reported after many erroneous reports that the trail to finding the suspects had gone cold. However, later it was said that they had yet another suspect. This again was denied and a press conference meant to give details on the case was postponed because of a bomb threat.
As I was watching the coverage there was a lot of emphasis being placed on what was being done in order to identify a possible bomber.
There of course was the report if camera surveillance and what was seen and reviewed by authorities and then there was another tool they were using. They were asking for all telephone exchanges made by cell phones prior to the explosion in hopes that they could find out what number if any was used to detonate the bomb, and who was using cell phones to communicate the positions of possible suspects.
Sources were saying that Police believe that the bomb was possibly set off by a mobile phone. Footage of a possible suspect indicates that the bomber was on the phone when he dropped the second backpack. Authorities were able to access Mobile phone records which have led to a possible identification.
This reminded me about how for many years we have speculated that the cell phone you are using could be a tracking device, and now thanks to "high-tech terror" your phone could be used to set off a bomb.
The bombing in Boston has now been an example of how what isn't being directly revealed or what is being denied is circumstantial evidence that proves that there are ways authorities can either jam cell phone communications or shut them down entirely. This has been called a kill switch and has been debated as to its validity.
It was reported that after the Boston bombings that officials ordered a cell phone network shutdown. There were many reports that after the bombing cell phones could not be used.
In a quick effort at damage control and back peddling , major cell phone networks quickly denied that this was happening. In fact while the media ran with the story of a wide spread communications shut down, they later claimed that the phone networks notified them that there was no indication that signals were shut down.
This raised the question as to how some cell phones were not operating properly in the area.
Depending on what you believe from the media and we all seem to be taking or leaving a lot of information there is a federal rule that exists that would allow for government officials to pull the plug on Internet, telephone and cable transmissions. While the Department of Homeland Security has in the past denied the existence of Standard Operating Procedure 303, the Electronic Privacy Information Center or EPIC challenged the secrecy of such documents in 2012 by filing a Freedom of Information Act request.
What EPIC found via its lawsuit was that a 2007 report stated that the network shutdown policy was adopted in March of 2006. According to that report, the National Coordinating Center, a part of the Department of Homeland security, was to be the main player in "any actions leading up to and following the termination of private wireless network connections, both within a localized area, such as a tunnel or bridge, and within an entire metropolitan area."
There has been particular focus on government possession of any sort of 'kill switch' over cell networks and Internet service since the embattled government of Hosni Mubarak shut down both in Egypt at the height of protests in 2011.
In Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron recently threatened to block access to social networking sites – including Facebook and Twitter – and Blackberry Messenger that were being used to organize riots.
During the Sandy Hook tragedy, the state police addressed information on the Internet and on social networks as being "conspiracy theory" and anyone spreading any rumor or information that was not part of their investigation would be tried in federal court.
It has also been reported that governments like North Korea have been known to jam GPS communication signals opening up the conversation about cyber war tactics aimed at shutting down communications of all kinds using jamming tools that could put many people in danger.
San Francisco's transit authority made the decision to shut off cell phone networks within its metro service in anticipation of protests in 2011, critics were quick to point out the draconian implications.
Somewhat ironically, following the BART incident the Federal Communications Commission launched an investigation into the cell network shutdown that resulted in the government's so-called SOP 303 rule for that sort of activity. In their response to a Federal Communications Commission query, wireless carriers such as AT&T stated that there was, in fact, no need for an inquiry, as government policy on shutting down private cell networks was already established.
"Federal and State authorities, the Federal communications commission, wireless providers and other private stakeholders, have previously considered these issues in a cooperative process that resulted in the National Communications System's Standard Operating Procedure 303," AT&T responded. "SOP 303 resolves the questions posed by the Commission in the Notice and eliminates the need for the Commission to reconsider those issues in this docket."
In plain English, what AT&T responded with in the case of the San Francisco cell network shutdown is that a little-known rule, which the DHS initially denied even existed, was already in effect – and that wireless carriers simply obliged with city government in its request.
In its initial FOIA filing, EPIC requested further information as well as justification for the secrecy behind SOP 303, which is officially understood as "a shutdown and restoration process for use by commercial and private wireless networks during national crises."
At question is just what might constitute a national crisis, and by which government stakeholders. The Department of homeland security has yet to fully respond to EPIC, though it has already abandoned the idea that no such rule regarding government enactment of a cell network 'off switch' exists.
This means that the US government has procedures set in place to shut off private cell phone access, wireless, Internet and cable across an entire metropolitan region, though it is not publicly understood by what criteria, or what precise process such a rule was anointed to homeland security.
There have been case histories of power frequency overrides that can be used to shut down signals and even hijack broadcasts. These tactics are at least 30 years old and were first heard about when a signal hijacker known as Captain Midnight sent a four minute signal over the HBO broadcast of "The Falcon and The Snowman" that aired in April of 1986. The message he sent was over color bars. It was a printed message that said "Good Evening HBO from Captain Midnight $12.95 a month? No way! Showtime movie channel beware."
This was the beginning of a few well known incidents that have been recorded and labeled as signal intrusions. Many of them have been chilling and created panic as normal TV broadcasts become hijacked in a form of signal terrorism. Many will call this type of activity hacking, however it is more sophisticated than that. In the case of the Max headroom signal intrusion of 1987 two Chicago television stations were hijacked for a brief period during the Thanksgiving holiday.
The first occurrence of the signal intrusion took place during WGN-TV channel 9's live telecast of its prime time newscast, The Nine O'Clock News. During Chicago Bears highlights in the sports report, the station's signal was interrupted for about half a minute by a video of a person wearing a Max Headroom mask, standing in front of a swaying sheet of corrugated metal, which imitated the background effect in the Max Headroom TV and movie appearances. There was no audio, only a buzzing noise. The hijack was stopped after engineers at WGN switched the frequency of their studio link to the John Hancock Center transmitter.
Later that night, around 11:15 p.m., during a broadcast of the Doctor Who serial 'Horror of Fang Rock', PBS station WTTW channel 11's signal was hijacked using the same video that was broadcast during the WGN-TV hijack, this time with distorted audio. The person in the Max Headroom mask appeared, as before, this time with a political message. He ended the broadcast with some exposed body parts and howling "Oh no, they're coming to get me!" The transmission then blacked out and cut off, and the hijack was over after about 90 seconds.
WTTW, which maintains its transmitter atop the Sears Tower, found that its engineers were unable to stop the hijacker. According to station spokesman Anders Yocom, technicians monitoring the transmission "attempted to take corrective measures", but couldn't.
Making the rounds on the Internet is the discovery of a possible signal intrusion that happened in 1985. The report first appeared on the Above Top Secret website, Red Ice Creations and Who Forted a site dedicated to Fortean phenomena.
The controversial signal was broadcast over regular programming heard on WKCR 89.9 New York. While many people are of the opinion that the broadcast is some sort of paranormal event, the claim is that it was simply a signal intrusion recorded on cassette boom box player with the person asking if anyone remembers the incident and if so could they please explain it.
Needless to say, the broadcast is chilling and has caused a bit of stir on the Internet as skeptics are trying to debunk a so called paranormal intrusion, rather than trying to understand if it was intentional or a temporary hijacking of the station's signal.
A similar paranormal Fortean allegation is of course the granddaddy of all intrusions which happened in 1977 where an alleged alien broadcast intruded a number of television stations in the United Kingdom.
Vrillon, a purported representative of the Ashtar Galactic Command, was the name used by an unidentified voice who broadcast on the Hannington transmitter of Southern Television in the United Kingdom for six minutes at 5:10 PM on Saturday November 26, 1977. The voice, which was disguised and accompanied by a deep buzzing, broke into a broadcast by Independent Television News to warn viewers of "the destiny of your race" and "so that you may communicate to your fellow beings the course you must take to avoid a disaster which threatens your world and the beings on other worlds around you".
As the broadcast did not affect the video signal, it was difficult to detect its source, and the transmission disappeared at the end of what sounded like a prepared statement. Most observers have concluded that the broadcast was a hoax, achieved by directing a powerful signal at the Hannington UHF transmitter.
However, if it was a hoax it was a very well thought out and difficult hoax to conduct. It was reported that if there was any signal hijacking the transmitters would go on fail safe shutdown, however engineers were not aware that the signal had been compromised and believe it or not the incident has been claimed as either a paranormal event or an elaborate hoax and not a pirated signal incident.
Engineers say that it was a "rogue transmission" as the signal faded back, various random sound clips are heard which were picked up from scrambled channels, such as the Looney Tunes cartoon theme song and the Art Davis cartoon "The Goofy Gophers". In addition, other music can be heard along with what sounds like an explosion and various weird noises.
Recently, North Korea has been jamming communication signals and has been known to broadcast propaganda threatening war against South Korea. Most of those propaganda videos have been intercepted and broadcast on You Tube. Many of these videos show a victorious North Korea over its enemies including the United states that is depicted as being in flames as major cities like new York are seen in Video games reduced to rubble after a nuclear attack.
North Korea's GPS jamming has been an issue for well over two years now, with the last major incident coming in late April/early May 2012, when the jamming signals were traced back, ironically enough, to Kaesŏng.
At that time, Seoul lodged an official complaint to the UN after hundreds of aircraft and shipping vessels had their navigation systems disrupted.
South Korea has been increasingly fearful that such sporadic incidents could be the prelude to a major attack.
GPS signals are not thought to be particularly difficult to jam – all it takes is a stronger signal broadcast on the same frequency which is exactly how the signal intrusions were done years ago in both the Captain Midnight and Max Headroom broadcasts – and North Korea has already shown its intent to disrupt in cyber space.
North Korea was behind a large scale cyber attack which crippled operations at three banks and several TV stations last month in the South.
It is important to remember that what we don't see could be the very thing that can be turned against us. Radio Waves, microwaves, satellite transmissions, GPS and cell phones are vulnerable to being hijacked and used as weapons. They are also crucial in surveillance gathering.
It is a huge irony that during the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings, CISPA was being voted on by the Senate. The bill establishes an information-sharing regime under which private sector entities will be encouraged to ,share information with the government about efforts to gain unauthorized access to their computer systems.
Conversely, the government may, but is not required to, share cyber security information under appropriate security rules with private sector entities. The bill encourages the private sector entities to share cyber threat information with the government by limiting the government's use of the information to cyber security-related purposes and protecting them from liability.
This, of course, once again indicates that the government wants access to the electronic signatures that we make on day to day bases. Soon intrusions will not be limited to weird signals and pranks. They will be used as evidence against you if they so desire in order to prosecute everything from online piracy to fraud.
They are already abusing their power anyway, and they are intruding upon the privacy of Americans and are doing it in the name of protecting you against terrorism.
Now, the lawlessness will become law and soon they will have all the information they need anything from firearms sales records, tax return records, medical records even the type of library books you checkout.
Couple that with cell phones usage, smart phone tricks, Facebook use and e-mail usage and you will have one of the biggest panopticons in the world.
[…] With everything happening at once, it's important to maintain perspective. Let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture: Something is short-circuiting our signal and we had better figure out how to get our critical consciousness back online soon. From Senate guns to Boston bombs, Obama and North Korea, from geopolitical gold to telecommunication breakdowns – it's all connected. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis is 'Jamming The Kill Switch'! […]
Consider the "intangible control", which is the next-generation of "Kinect" technology. It will enable a natural way of navigating Big Data on the world…including "ghost stalking" of people. They have the data, and now they need a natural human interface to it.
See: "Scout Report Volume 1: The Rise of the Black Wolf," pp. 160-166.
so…do we live with the cyber spying and just go on about our lives, or do we convert ourselves back to the 4th century by turning everything electronic off that we use because we're paranoid that we may get rounded up because we forgot the all-important Rule of PC?
An L.R.A.D. can be used as a lethal weapon if the limiter switch is bypassed or modified.Such devices operate by vibrating the cranial and inner ear bones and can be ramped up in power ..causing massive cerebral hemorrhaging and excrutiating pain…

Benefit Dandelion Reviews
Love this BlushI have pale skin and I love this powder. It really makes my skin look really nice, it especially gives my skin some color. I use the slant powder brush from Benefit Cosmetics to apply the blush, which was recommended from the girl working at Benefit Cosmetics. This powder blush is fairly light and yes you need to make sure you apply a good amount before applying but I find if you use a good blush...read more brush for this product it will work wonders. I tried using one of my other blush brushes from a different brand and it did not give me the same results like the one I use from Benefit Cosmetics. It really does make a difference what makeup brush you use. — 7 years, 1 month agoLoyalty | 59 reviews
The best!First off, this compact lasts forever. I use it almost everyday and I can't even remember when I bought it. I have fair skin and it's perfect as an all-over brightener or a blush, if applied more heavily. It even has a nice light scent. I love this!!! — 7 years, 9 months agoSc2501 | 55 reviews
Adds a Nice GlowI like this product because not only is the packaging adorable, but it adds a nice glow to your face. It doesn't add a pink flush to your face, but it's the kind of flush you get when talking to a cute guy (or girl, you know what I mean). — 7 years, 11 months agoSamanthaRenee | 33 reviews
Dandelicious!This brightening face powder makes me feel so fresh and new. Unfortunately, I understand that it doesn't work for all skin tones, especially olive. But if you are fair, golden (like me), or tan, it is a very good powder. It's only a light pink and doesn't have too much shimmer to it, which is fantastic. — 7 years, 11 months agoladystardust | 10 reviews
love it!I bought this powder in hopes of using it as a blush but found a completely different purpose for it all together. the color of this powder was too light to show up with any color for my complexion but instead it works as the perfect highlighter. this blurs slight imperfections on the skin and gives a very subltle shimmer instead of a disco ball glow. makes you look like a better version of yourself. — 8 years agokrash527 | 4 reviews
Benefit DandelionI am absolutely in love with this stuff. Normally I buy highlighting type products and they contain glittery shimmery junk that ends up settling in the fine lines on my face, but this stuff really wore well. It made me look younger and more awake. It's one of my must-have beauty products! It is a good value to me because it works! I did however chuck the little brush and use one of my better brushes for it, but that seems to be the case with most items for me. — 8 years, 1 month agodelcamino | 18 reviews
Gives a healthy blushI don't wear makeup so Benefit Dandwlion works great to add a little healthy color on my cheeks. Love It. — 8 years, 3 months agomaryLord | 23 reviews
The Perfect CheeksI adore this product! It gives such a natural color and makes my face look healthy and young. The little box is darling with the perfect brush applies just the right amount. When this little wonder came out years ago, I predicted to my Macy's beauty assistant this would be huge. The next week, when I went in, he told me they had sold out. I'm sure the excitement hasn't died down! This is the perfect blush for the perfect cheeks! — 8 years, 3 months agoDramaMartini | 81 reviews

Aloha creatives
Do I primarily make use of CSS positioning and floating to create my page, OR do I need to combine CSS positioning/floating with html table layout (the "old" fashion way of accomplishing web layout)?
Just need to bridge this problem to ensure creating award winning designs
Thanx peeps
Highly appreciated
Some good input here. The only time I'd use tables is for any tabular data coming from a database. Forms can be done fairly quickly as well. Much easier to control things that way and depending on your skillset and timeframe for your project.
Floats and margins are the way to go. When I made the transition from tables to css years ago I was frustrated at first. But as long as you remember the key ingredient...
If the layout is broken across browsers, check with clearing your floats.
You'll pick up on it quick. Less code, more control and better page speed.
However you think you would code it is probably correct (I just have a feeling )
I'd be inclined to make a <ul> <li> for the navigation list and just make it easy and have bottom padding on that to show the car
Then for the 3 checkmark boxes, just 3 <div>'s floated left with a width, styled like they show there..content..etc
Then just have 2 floated <div>'s to hold that 2column bit there..same idea
Same idea for the 3 column bit under that :).
Then the footer (depending on your structure it will need clear:both)
Just go in sections of the page and code it how you think you would code it. Take it one step at a time and it will become very easy for you if you think about it
Hi Grootseun,
we have a search script on the forums. It's not the best thing since sliced bread, but it does mostly work (kinda).
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=671993http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=597136 (even though he meant display: table, most people answered like they thought it was divs vs tables)http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=659600 It's not just "div" vs tablehttp://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171791 oooh, a fight to the deathhttp://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4427757http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?t=647119
That was just the most relevant from the first page.
Briliant guys! Thanx for the feedback, it's excellent. Who needs a tutor if you've got sitepoint by your side. Love this forum more and more as I go along!
I've attached a basic column layout and I need your advice on how to prepare the CSS layout for it. I've got a basic idea how to, but not 100% confident as I'm still a beginner.
Just for interest sake, how can I achieve succesful CSS layout on the following template example: http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/29034.html (even just basic layout ideas would be helpful)
Thanx once again / Dankie baie vir julle ondersteuning en raad.
Hi Grootseun
To make the structure of your page you generally want floating (and then margins to exactly place it).
Absolute positioning/relative should only be used for dropdowns/small design segments of the page (aka rounded corners or some other small effect)
Absolute positioning should never be used as a page layout technique for columns because if you have a footer it will be a mess and the contnet will probably end up overflowing on top of hte footer. It's not suitable for dynamic environments :).
If you go to pmob.co.uk where a regular here (Paul O'B) has posted many layouts, you will see every single one of them is done via floating and margins. It's by far the best layout technique and even though it has more bugs accompanied with it (as apposed to absolute positioning) it's still better (99% of all bugs have been documented and fixes are relatively easy to impliment, making this method the easiest)
HTML table layouts should nevner be used because table layouts are only to be used to display tabular data and as a result it would be unsemantic to use it as a design for a layout (even though sometimes tables would be the easiest, aka equal height columns, and other behaviors that are table specific)
Don't get me wrong, tables are completely fine if you have tabular data on the page (aka a data table of...oh..for example, all the speedcubers (rubiks cubes) that are competing in a competitiion)
It's your call whether it's tabular data. The key to making good pages is to not have divitis (overuse of divs) or any other "itis" :). As long as you don't bloat your markup and write clean code (CSS hacks generally aren't needed because most bugs don't require hacks :)) then you are sure to write an A-grade page :tup:)
As with any profession, you will get extremely good at it in time. Assuming you are a beginner (take no offense if you're not :)), as you code a page you should try and refresh the page in a browser every segment (every peice) of hte page until you see exactly what everything is doing. You will learn to code bug fixes into your page as you are coding. But then again, that comes with experience. Give it time :). Eventually you can code an entire pgae cross browser (99% of the time)
If you have any questions related to a certain thing happening on your page then just feel free to ask here :). It'd be a good idea to start getting in the habit of visiting this forum frequently (CSS forum in particular) because we go over many issues and eventually you will start to notice the same problems comiong up. You will learn the fixes (in time) and you will get dramatically better because of it :).
If you need any CSS reference help (a property/value etc) then visit the Sitepoint CSS reference :)
Hope that helps
My opinion is that,I would have to say using CSS as while it was taught that tables are the best method of page layout, because the pretty much universal support, margin and floating styling being applied to <div> tags in also now pretty much universally supported. And as Ryan said, using css floats and margins can provide a specific and exact position.
Sorry if I was not of any help, but I wish you the best of luck in your layout design. I learned that a good wireframing or layout is best to have at first the hard-way
Regards, Team 1504
Once IE7 is dead it will not be such an issue as then you can always use the CSS table commands to do table layouts using display:table, display:table-row and display:table-cell so as to get layout tables without using the wrong HTML tags to achieve it.

New queuing role for Joaquin Phoenix, again!
Down the stage after singing the country tunes as Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line", a reservation has been put upon Joaquin Phoenix.
This time, though there hasn't been any confirmation which cast is set for Phoenix, this next screenplay is another novel-based written by John Burnham Schwartz. It is his second novel entitled "Reservation Road" to be adapted onto the big screen version.
The story wanders around the quest of a lonely father for the murder of his 10-year old son, who was killed in an accidental hit-and-run. The driver himself is in the torn of hating his deed and seeking his own safety. Phoenix might play for either of the role.
So far, there hasn't been any confirmation upon which studios to work on the movie. The scriptwriter of "The Waterhorse", who last helming "Hotel Rwanda", Terry George, is this movie plan's helm. The independently financed project is starting to shoot after Phoenix is done with the currently in-production "We Own the Night".

rpmurray - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkSo, is there going to be a follow-up on how to upgrade the card to 2GB? Reply
RawOysters - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkNow if Mac users can only find a game to play. Reply
DKant - Monday, July 20, 2009 - linkErgh. Still not used to or able to ignore trolls.
The 100$ premium can be attributed to one simple fact I think - lower expected volume of shipping so higher premium per SKU.
And all that wolf in sheep's clothing talk? Anybody heard of Windows 7? Hundred plus dollars for a freaking SPITnSHINE? THAT is overpricing! The only reason MS is charging so much is that - again - it makes it want to look like a different OS and not just an upgraded and FINALLY polished Vista. Maybe 40$ is all it was actually worth, if not less.
And why don't people ever get that Apple charges for the OS + the hardware. My theory for Snow Leopard upgrade being priced at a ridiculous 30$ (ESPECIALLY considering Snow Leopard comes with some ACTUAL upgrades, and not just tweaks) is just that - Apple has already recovered some of the cost of the OS from the hardware sales, plus this simply is the best possible way of extending the service promised to their high-paying customers. There is a loyalty there that MS simply cannot hope to emulate any time in the short run, and that's not a fanboy talking. The ONE time they did extend some kind of good support was when they shelled out 1 billion to extend the warranty of 360's, and even THAT was done because they really didn't have a choice - people would have simply walked away otherwise.
Windows is a money-minting device. Apple actually cares about what they build and put thought into it. If I have to pay a gazillion dollars for that, it is fine. I don't mind paying a premium to reap the results of somebody else's hard work. :)
I'm not saying that because I'm an Apple fanboy or something. I'm infact a long-time Windows customer who is just FED up with all the bull I have to put up with. 100+ $ for an OS UPGRADE?! Insane amounts of money for an Office suite that I cannot even make a half-decent presentation (for people with taste) with? I have had to design a custom background, spend several costly minutes configuring the fonts and their positioning because the defaults are just SO arcane and butt-ugly. And so are the fonts they use everywhere. Ugh. UI changes that do not even make any sense (can you seriously read those transparent top-bars in Vista? SERIOUSLY? All that transparency only hurts my eyes) 30% red-ringing hardware (I know, old news). Nah. I have had enough of Microsoft. Thank you. (please don't) Come again. Reply
OptimusP83 - Monday, July 20, 2009 - linkI use both Vista and Leopard, though I FAR prefer Leopard. I am a Graphic Designer and hence use OS X at work. Each OS has its ups and downs, but what really irks me about Windows is its lack of snappiness. Blame it on Vista if you want, but With OS X programs launch faster, basically everything I need to be productive in doing, happens faster in OS X. Now Clearly GPU performance has yet to catch up and I blame this on Apple as well as the GPU manufacturers.
Also in regards to the FUD about OMG my i7 machine can roxxors yourz Mac Pro... They are machines with fundamentally different purposes. Yes you could most likely do the same work in the same amout of time on an i7 box, but Workstations are meant for very specific purposes in PRODUCTION environments. Yes there are people who would buy a MacPro to play games. They are idiots. I could build a Core2Quad box for 1/2 the cost of a MacPro and it would run games just as fast. But can you build an 8 core desktop machine? no. You have to PAY LAVISHLY to get a Xeon dual socket workstation for that. Yes the majority of applications wont run any faster from 4 cores to 8 cores (all else being equal) but for that tasks that do, machines like the MacPro are essential for maintaining productivity.
Having said that, the majority of the people posting on here would be much better served sticking to a consumer level desktop machine. Its really not worth the extra cost for them to get a dual socket machine. Hell even 4 cores are just finally being able to be utilized well... Reply

dollars for that, it is fine. I don't mind paying a premium to reap the results of somebody else's hard work. :) "
You cant compare apple with windows, its just doesnt make sense. Apple developes their own software assembles their own boxes and sells you the finished product. They use high quality components and they charge a little extra for them just because they offer a finished product.Does it make sense? it depends on the user i'd say. Microsoft on the other hand is a software developer. It is up to the user to either build a box or buy a prebuilt one. One can buy the highest quality hardware available and built one of the best and most expensive systems out there... or not. People dumb enough to criticize either OS are either not familiar with one of the two or just plain trolls. Reply
OptimusP83 - Monday, July 20, 2009 - link... are out in force today.
4870s insanely easy to flash with an EFI capable rom provided you get the right model. Reply
trochevs - Sunday, July 19, 2009 - linkThere is FOSS test suit that I believe supports Mac OS X and series of OpenGL test. Have you try to run it?

vailr - Sunday, July 19, 2009 - linkThe Intel Northbridge chip (?) on the Mac Pro motherboard photo has no heatsink?
That would seem to be an Apple design error, no?
Or: does it not get "too hot to touch"? Reply
Demon-Xanth - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkOne thing I just noticed, is that the TV out that's common with PC cards isn't there. Reply
MonkeyPaw - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkI must say, I'm surprised that Photoshop manages the video memory that way. To have to quit the app and not close the picture to recover the video memory? Terrible! Many people buy Macs for the professional photoshop work, and this has to be a serious drag on productivity once the RAM is gone. Do you think it's Adobe's fault, or could it be a limitation where OSX doesn't know what to do with window-in-window closing? Reply
bohhad - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkWill installation instructions be standard on all hardware reviews? Being Anandtech readers, I'm sure most all of us have no clue how to even take the sides of our cases off. Or was this a 'special' feature for our equally 'special' Mac-using members? Reply
utdman53 - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkCost of a Mac pro configured with the two Xeon @ 2.93 is $6000.00 or more. What an absolute waste of money to match a core i7. If you want a computer that bad I'll build you one and myself one with that money.
In life there are but kings and pawns, Apple clearly lives off the pawns. Reply
archer75 - Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - linkI was looking at the price of the processors and ram and newegg and believe it or not it's cheaper from apple. We are talking about workstations here and as they go the mac pro is indeed priced well. Reply
ViRGE - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkBear in mind that you're looking at a workstation system. The price on any of those is astronomical, it's not just an Apple thing. The chipset costs a small fortune, the Xeon processors cost a small fortune, etc.
Apple's is still more expensive yet, but not by whole orders of magnitude like it is when comparing it to a desktop system. Reply
ipay - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkI'd say there are clever people and stupid people, and that Apple makes its money from the latter. Reply
thurston - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkWhy is the $100 price premium ridiculous? It seems to be in line with Mac pricing in general. Reply
JimmiG - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - link"The first step to install the card is actually to install the drivers. If you fail to do so, you'll be greeted with a kernel panic once you get the card installed and fire up the machine."
That made me LOL after seeing those ads about how Macs don't need drivers and how they're so easy to use. At least a PC will load up Windows even without drivers. In fact, since Vista, it will even work at fairly high resolutions and in full 32-bit color. Just another example of how Apple's advertising is based on lies, exaggerations and misconceptions. Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkBut, but, I thought Macs just work and used "The World's Most Advanced operating system"! Reply
529th - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkThe 4870 is also a working GPU for a Hackintosh. Also sold in the new Mac Pros. Apparently it is supported in Leopard 10.5.7 OS X Reply
psonice - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkAny chance of some core image tests of some kind? CI has traditionally been nvidia's very weak spot (ATI 2600 outperforming nvidia 8800 anyone?) and it's important for some apps. Reply
SiliconDoc - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkYeah... boy a GTX285 seems pretty weak.
(good lord!) Reply
psonice - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkWell, a radeon 2600 is very weak compared to a gf8800. Yet it kills it in core image tasks (probably bad nvidia drivers, seeing as core image is based on GLSL, and the 8800 is way faster for that).
My advice for people running CI heavy apps has been "avoid nvidia" for the last year or two, I'd like to know if that should change :) Reply
Lanska - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkOn MacOSX there isn't too enough games, but World of Warcraft from Blizzard is availaible. So you can test GTX 285 as a game accelerator card for Mac. I think many Mac gamers want to buy it as a game card, but not to display more windows in Photoshop or similar. After all you can even compare perfomance of World of Warcraft in Mac and in Windows on the same MacPro system (in Windows for more competition truth you can also use OpenGL mode instead of DirectX, as Mac version is OpenGL only).
Game have testing command /timetest to benchmark system.
World of Warcraft client for both systems can be freely downloaded from Blizzard, trial accounts are also availaible. So you willn't pay any charge for testing, but this review will be more interesting, without games game card review not so nice :) Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkYou think WoW needs a GTX anything? Reply
ipay - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkIt always sends me into fits of laughter when Anand acts surprised at the absurd price premiums on Apple products - as if Apple's strategy from their inception has been anything else than putting shit in a box and selling it as gold to gullible idiots with lots of money.
I also got some kicks from reading the description of how to install the video card (something that any self-respecting PC owner can do in their sleep), as well as the fact that the Mac motherboard uses an Intel chipset of some sort.
Keep the lulz coming Anand, I really appreciate it! Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkLaughter?
More like his credibility.
Stuff like he still hasn't done any more research into why a MacBook "Pro" has better battery life under OSX than Windows, or why we should spend $2k more on a Mac Pro just to add a video card that can work with a $100 motherboard. I'm sure the average Mac user spends $2400 minimum on a machine for OSX, only to have to dual boot anyhow Windows to play Crysis, adding another $100 to the price, minimum.
"The other change is firmware. In order to get your PC video card to work under OS X it needs firmware with a few EFI hooks in it. It's not a huge change, but for whatever reason the PC specific cards don't have it."
Yeah, might have something to do with the fact that EFI sucks and PCs are better off without that crap. And even if EFI becomes standard in "PCs", Apple will just change the way OSX works to again kill it from working on any hardware. Reply
rpmurray - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkI can't help rolling on the floor when some dipwad blames Apple for the high prices of third-party add-ons. Especially when that same company sells it cheaper for the PC, which just goes to show you who's gouging whom. Reply
afkrotch - Friday, August 28, 2009 - linkActually, it all boils down to being Apple's fault. They make a platform that they locked down a ridiculous amount. They then charge a premium for the trash and this causes elitist bitches to buy it, while no one else cares.
Because there is such a small platform of users, companies have to charge a markup for having to make a product for a minimal amount of users.
Personally, Nvidia and AMD should just let Apple rot. Let S3 make their graphics cards. Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkIf you are used to buying Macs with pointless markups you are used to buying Mac accessories with pointless markups. Reply
Dainas - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkAnything that says apple on it is soo overpriced that there are many many forums dedicated to finding or making pc stuff that doesn't say apple on it work. The evga gtx 285 mac might actually sell boxed as they are only slightly insulting. Reply
bupkus - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkFor so very long linux never could claim itself a good platform for games. So I'm thinking, admittedly quite wishfully, that the OS X's linux roots could provide a trail for drivers in OS X to become useful in linux.
What say you experts on this matter? Reply
erple2 - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkOSX isn't based on Linux. It's based on a BSD flavor. I'm not sure if it's NetBSD or OpenBSD (I think NetBSD). Which is very different from Linux. Reply
Kurotetsu - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkWell, according to Wiki (which means you should take it with some salt), it was both:
Mac OS X is based upon the Mach kernel.[8] Certain parts from FreeBSD's and NetBSD's implementation of Unix were incorporated in Nextstep, the core of Mac OS X. Nextstep was the object-oriented operating system developed by Steve Jobs' company NeXT after he left Apple in 1985.[9]

sprockkets - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkYes, this is true. The BSD part is just for POSIX compliance. Even though OSX is certified UNIX, Apple saying it is UNIX stable is a bit disingenuous, as the part of the kernel doing all the work is all Apple, not UNIX or BSD. Reply

Demon-Xanth - Friday, July 17, 2009 - link
"However if you take into account the fact that two PCIe power cables will cost you $60"
...the markup on those cables is the most I've seen outside of audiophile or specialty cables.
4x Molex 45559-0002 $0.30ea, $0.14/ea in quantities of 5000
24x Molex 44476-1111 $0.12ea, $0.05/ea in quantities of 4000
12' 18AWG stranded wire (assuming the cables are 12") $38/100 foot spool, $145 for 1000'
(prices from Mouser, distributors may be much lower)
Low quantity cost: About $8 for the pair.
Higher quantity cost: About $3 for the pair.
Admittedly, the crimp tool itself runs about $320, so given the $52 profit margin, it should take about 7 sets to end up in the black. Reply
rpmurray - Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - linkI'd go with the higher quality pair, according to you they're $5 cheaper then the low quality Reply
Demon-Xanth - Thursday, July 23, 2009 - linkQuantity, not quality.
The parts are $8 for two if you built one set. $3 for two if you build 1000 sets. Reply
robco - Saturday, July 18, 2009 - linkWe ordered a set directly from ATI - they sell them as spare parts for $13 each.

Etern205 - Friday, July 17, 2009 - linkPutting these in SLI will not share the ram across both cards, they're still independent. Also it's a waste to put a lowend along with a highend. Oh crap, I should not have said that as Apple would probably market how good it is to run SLI in this kind of setup and for them to enable SLI at a cost of just $199. Reply

Hi , it's an issue with your temp files. Delete the folder c:\users\mum\appdata\local\temp
You can delete the whole temp folder. Windows will readd it when it needs it again. Issues can sometimes occur if the same file name is XXXXX XXXXX temp folder or if there is an older version of the file it needs.
once you delete the temp folder try updating Dell support center again. it should work properly.
Please accept this answer if it works , otherwise let me know and we can work on it further. Thanks :-)
Hello John
I tried deletring the Temp file, as si=uggetsed, but got thr following message after trying to delete via Windows exploerer and allowing the Windows program to proceed when prompted:
'The action can't be completed because the folder is open in another program. Close the folder and try again.'
and also got this mesage even when I closed down Internet Explorer (which was the only other program I was running apart from Windows Explorer). Dell Support Center tried updating itself while I was working on this, and failed - giving the same message as before (as I stated originally) about the network eror with the temp file.
What else can I do, to try and correct the problem?
I wqs able to delete the temp file in Safe Mode but, on attempting (twice) to do an update of the Dell Support Center , I still ended up with the same type of error message as before - after the dialogue boxes shown below were displayed. I did not have any other aplicatons running - is it essentially a problem with Windows Installer itself, as every time I boot up I am still getting the Windows Installer dialogue box, staing the feature I am trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available and prompts me to insert the disk for a range (on repeated cancellation of the bdialogue box) of different applications/programs - including Microsoft Office.
Any further suggestions as to what i can do? (I appreciate that this is proving to be less straightforward to resolve.) Would unistalling and re-installing Windows Installer sorftware - if that is a potential option - be worth trying? If so, how do I do so?
I ran the Fix It tool via the link you provided and - under the Problems awith Installing - clicked one Dell Support Center from the program list; owevr, i still got the same errormesssage about the temp file when Window tried to install the update. The problem with Windows Installer not working (and starting up with the dialogue box prompts when te laptop is booted up, as I referred to in my previous message) is still there!.
Please click Start, then type msconfig and press Enter. Then click on the Startup tab and uncheck all the boxes, except your antivirus/security program. Then click on the Services tab and check the box at Hide all Microsoft services near the bottom. Then uncheck all the services, except your antivirus/security program.

SUPERMARINE coach Sean Millwaters believes the club needs a 'minor miracle' to survive in Southern Counties South as they prepare for tomorrow's local derby with Wootton Bassett.
After Saturday's game against Weymouth was postponed, Marine slipped further adrift at the foot of the table after fellow strugglers Walcot and Oakmeadians both managed to get their games on and picked up vital victories.
The South Marston side are now eight points away from second-bottom Oakmeadians, but while Millwaters thinks it will be incredibly tough to avoid the drop he has not given up hope.
"The results couldn't have really gone much worse for us last weekend, and it was a real hammer blow," he said.
"With them both getting wins makes it really difficult because there is set to be two teams going down, and I have to be honest, I think we need a minor miracle.
"We need to really be looking to win three or four games to give ourselves a chance, and that is obviously going to be a big ask.
"I'm not writing us off, but it is going to be very hard now, although we are keeping positive and will be doing our best."
Millwaters was involved with Bassett for 14 years, but believes his current club have a chance of picking up points tomorrow at Ballards Ash.
"It's a local derby and we are up for it," he said. "I wasn't involved last time we played them, but I'm led to believe our players think we could have won. It's a massive game and I think the team that wants it more will win."

The "Greatest Movie Musical of All Time" is faithfully and lovingly adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green, from their original award-winning screenplay in Singin' in the Rain Jr. Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain Jr. a guaranteed good time for performers and audience members alike.
Singin' in the Rain Jr. has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline – the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item, but behind the scenes, things aren't always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in "talking pictures" without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.
Three extraordinary roles for young dancers and a tour de force comedic turn make Singin' in the Rain Jr. a perfect choice for any group with an abundance of talent ready to shine.
This is the seventh annual Academy Youth Production show. Past shows include: Into the Woods Jr.., Fame Jr., Willie Wonka Jr., Camp Rock,The Phantom Tollbooth Jr., and last year's The Music Man Jr. Academy Youth Productions are performed by area youth ages 9-15, with full staging, professional lighting and sound, costumes and sets.

"I have nothing but good things to say about wedding paper divas. So far, I have ordered my save the dates, invitations & menu cards. This card is so lovely, card stock is great! Shout out to Alexa for her quick response."
"There was a large amount of information that the designer formatted beautifully. The print is rather small and I'm sure people will be pulling their reading glasses out; with that being said I wanted the entire buffet menu on the card along with the Club name and City,state. They did it."
"The fall branch menu coordinated with our invitations, placecards, thanks yous etc and provided a nice decorative and informative touch at our reception. We used the majestic and charcoal colors to coordinate with our fall wedding color scheme. Very lovely!"
"The design was beautiful.. Have received many compliments. The paper quality was excellent as we did opt for the upgraded paper. The customer service was wonderful.. They were very patient and very helpful. The turn around time was incredible. We received the finish product very quickly. Would highly recommend your company."
"We LOVE this design. Orchids are my favorite flower and happens to be the first flower my husband ever gave to me. We will most likely be using this set for our wedding. The pearly shine is beautiful, however, one of my wedding colors is champagne and it will not match, so we will be using the product without the pearl overcoat because they are just as beautiful without it!"

In the Kitchen
The Italian Job
Sally Belk King
May 6, 2008
This spaghetti squash recipe from personal chef and caterer Robert Cacciola is one of his favorite dishes not just because it's replete with flavor but because it's light, healthy, and can be made in advance. 'When making this at home, do all your prep ahead of time and keep the ingredients separate until 30 minutes before serving,' he suggests.
Wild Thing: Ramps and Potato Gratin
Sally Belk King
Apr 22, 2008
Asparagus, peas and strawberries. That's what usually comes to mind when most of us think of springtime fare. But there are also highly anticipated wild things from the woods this time of year, like morels and ramps. The latter are actually wild leeks (Allium tricoccum); they resemble scallions, but have broader, lily-like leaves. Their assertive garlicky, onion-y flavor is reason enough to celebrate spring, which many communities do--especially in the woodsy parts of Appalachia.
A Succulent Roast Guinea Hen for passover
Sally Belk King
Apr 8, 2008
Even if you don't keep Kosher--even if you're not Jewish--Jonathan Lindenauer's Guinea Hen with spicy dried fruit chutney is easy, festive, and great for just about any special occasion, any time of year. As a side dish, our featured chef suggests an arugula salad, wilted spinach, or roasted Brussels sprouts; all represent the requisite 'bitter' flavor that is part of the Passover tradition.
A Pork for a Party
Sally Belk King
Mar 25, 2008
Fare by David Chang, a.k.a., The Pork King (and GQ magazine's Chef of the Year), nods to Asia, but he also has a clear appreciation for good-quality American products. In addition to featuring country ham from Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee, Chef Chang also offers DeBragga natural pork from Iowa.
The Shoulder Season
Sally Belk King
Mar 11, 2008
Pasta e Piselli is a beloved dish in Campania, and to me, is a dish that signifies the beginning of spring. One of my favorite recipes for pasta with peas is from Eleanora's Kitchen, a book that I co-authored with Italian-born Eleanora Scarpetta. It's the perfect 'Lion-to-Lamb' dish, and just right as a starter for Easter dinner.
Not Your Mother's Meat and Potatoes
Sally Belk King
Feb 26, 2008
When asked chef Jonathan Lindenauer what he was going to cook when returned from Colorado to snowy New York, without hesitation he said, "Steak. Steak with this amazing sauce that I just invented." Lindenauer's spicy, tangy, rich sauce--spiked with gingerroot, soy sauce and sherry vinegar--marries beautifully with an assertive Argentinean Malbec or a full-flavored Côte Rôtie from the northern Rhône.
Comfort in a Kettle
Sally Belk King
Feb 12, 2008
As I write this column, we're still deep into winter here in Montana. Making Country Captain--an old timey southern chicken dish--is definitely on my 'to do' list. Like most long-cooked stews and soups, Country Captain can be made several days in advance; what a joy to have a semi-spicy dish in the refrigerator (or freezer) to reheat for the snowy days and frigid nights still to come.
Powder Day Supper!
Sally Belk King
Jan 29, 2008
Whether you're hunkered down in a mountainside condo or simply want a spicy dish to get you through a dark winter's night, baked pasta dishes seem to always satisfy our primitive craving for big flavors (and yes, calories) this time of year. I'm lucky enough to live near Big Sky Resort, where chef Wendy Wagner is known for her game dishes and other inspired--and filling--dishes. I was intrigued by the title of the dish, and just had to try it in the spirit of solidarity. (I was dining with a male colleague who shook his head and couldn't understand why the dish couldn't be called 'Cowhand Casserole' or something less, um, feminine.
The Cheese Chick Speaketh
Sally Belk King
Jan 15, 2008
In addition to being famous for rain, rain, and more rain, The Beaver State is also replete with extraordinary victuals: mushrooms (for obvious meteorological reasons), wine and cheese. After a recent trip to Oregon wine country, I was enchanted with the cheeses, and wanted to learn more. So, who ya gonna call? The Cheese Chick, of course!
A Scallop Starter from Madrona Manor's 'Star' Chef
Sally Belk King
Jan 1, 2008
When planning a party menu, sometimes it's easier to focus on the main course (Pork roast with fennel? Poached salmon with dill?) and treat the starter as a mere afterthought. But to me, the purpose of a first course is to gracefully ease the diner into the main event.
Before the Prime Rib, a Great Starter
Sally Belk King
Dec 18, 2007
Randy and Lisa Lynch of Bennett Lane Winery in Calistoga have a strong tradition of prime rib, plenty of hungry family members and multiple bottles of their myriad Napa Valley wines for Christmas. And Lisa has a killer appetizer: Chilled shrimp with basil-ponzu sauce. With a Bennett Lane Carneros Reserve Chardonnay, of course!
J's Essence Tasting and the Ultimate Holiday Cookie
Sally Belk King
Dec 4, 2007
Cookies are my weakness. For some, it's ice cream. For others, it's crème brulée. For me, it's the all-American cookie. I've always had to watch my weight and I'm fairly disciplined, but when I nibbled the Chocolate Fleur de Sel cookies at J Vineyards & Winery several weeks ago, I threw caution (and calories) to the wind. 'More, please!' I begged like a deprived orphan in a Dickens novel
Last Dinner on the Titanic
Sally Belk King
Nov 20, 2007
The party theme? The 'Last Dinner on the Titanic,' period dress requested. I found my grandmother's debutante dress (c.1914 - close enough) and my mother's mink stole (again, close enough in terms of ladies' garb worn on April 14, 1912). I bought opera-length gloves online, and packed my bags for California.
Cold, Creamy and Classic: Frozen Bénédictine Parfait
Sally Belk King
Nov 6, 2007
Traditionally served as an after-dinner drink, Bénédictine--the spicy, herbaceous cordial invented in 1510 by a Venetian monk living in Normandy--also makes a fine assaisonment for desserts. Although I've sipped plenty of Bénédictine , I'd never actually 'cooked' with Bénédictine until a few weeks ago. Inspired by a visit to Fécamp, where the elixir was born, I returned to my kitchen determined to concoct something that would highlight this renowned liqueur.
Autumn Elixir: Hearty Bisque for Body, Soul and Pinot Gris
Sally Belk King
Oct 23, 2007
I know, I know. It's such a cliché. But seriously, on a cool, damp evening, is there anything that seems to have as much healing power as a steaming bowl of soup?
Now that the seasons have changed -- and we've had over a foot of snow here in the Rockies- -- aromatic vegetables, broth and other soup basics are frequently on my shopping list; just knowing there's a well-stocked pantry gives me a sense of well-being. (Argh! Another soup cliché!)
But comfort is a good thing, as is having a battery of recipes on hand that can serve double duty. Replete with seasonal produce and the flavors of the Northwest, the recipe below does just that: It's an ideal first course or an easy supper served with a salad, crusty bread and wedges of ripe blue or goat cheese.
Oh, and of course, there must be wine. Try a dry, fruit-forward Pinot Gris with enough body and acidity to stand up to the slightly smoky, full-flavored soup.
It's Game Time!
Sally Belk King
Oct 9, 2007
As an Easterner turned Westerner, I'll admit I'm a bit jaded. I thought Café Kandahar was just another mountain resort restaurant, with the requisite fondue, steaks, and double-stuffed potatoes. Shame on me. Chef Blanton's thoughtfully constructed cuisine will no doubt remain in my culinary memory forever.
Into the Wild: Fungi from the Forest (via Fed-Ex)
Sally Belk King
Sep 25, 2007
Like truffles, chanterelles are found only in the wild. They have a faint fruity scent (some aficionados compare it to apricots), a slightly spicy flavor, and a firm texture that holds up when cooked, which makes them perfect for risotto. My recipe calls for mushroom broth, which adds an extra dimension of flavor. The corn is optional, but it's a nice harvest-y addition.
Farewell Asparagus; Hello Collards and Kale
Sally Belk King
Sep 11, 2007
The only thing better than fall's first cold snap is the abundance of cool-weather produce making its debut at the farmer's market. In addition to the kaleidoscope of apples, squash, and succulent, eat-over-the-sink pears, there are all those seasonal leaves: mustard greens, turnip greens, collards, and innumerable varieties of kale. And of course, there's chard, which can withstand summer's heat and humidity but continues to be available through early spring. As much as I love sweet corn and heirloom tomatoes, when fall finally arrives, I'm ready for something gutsy: bring on the funky greens!

BWW Reviews: Greek Comedy LYSISTRATA Excites Audiences with Bawdy Humor and Political Satire
Kicking off its 61st season, Minneapolis' Theatre in the Round presents the hilariously irreverent and uniquely relevant Greek classic, LYSISTRATA. First performed in 411 B.C., the show's lewd humor is still enthralling audiences today-and rightfully so. The production runs from September 7 through September 30, 2012, so audiences have plenty of time to catch Craig Johnson's wildly entertaining adaptation.
Set during the wars between Athens and Sparta, the title character, LYSISTRATA, decides to force the men to resolve conflict by persuading the women to withhold sex until the violence ends. Logically, the comedy is filled with graphic innuendo and rampant slapstick, complete with satirical costuming and set design. The theatre's arena-style, center-stage design is appropriate for the play, making the audience members feel more like spectators or voyeurs in this satirical battling to end the Peloponnesian War.
While all the productions cast members enliven the stage with superb comedic timing, it is Jean Williamson, who plays the heroine, Lysistrata, that deserves superior admiration. Her quick-tongued dialogue and effortless delivery carries the play through secessions of comedic rendezvous.
While the play's façade appears to showcase nothing more than vulgar comedy, Aristophanes' piece is a social commentary, combining proto-feminist leanings with antiquated thinking, defining the production as more of a political satire at heart. While the women live as inferiors in a socially repressive society, they are able to utilize sexuality as a source of power. Some even supplement the transfer of power by denying male soldiers the funding needed to carry out the war. Williamson plays this balance with brutal honesty; powerful stage presence and gut-wrenching humor.
Whether your interpretation of the play is feminist, anti-war, or plain unbridled humor, a public discussion with the cast will be held after the matinee performance on September 30. So, head over to one of the oldest theatres in the state and celebrate the ancient play that combines thoughtful discourse and raunchy debauchery. Perhaps that's the reason it has survived the test of time.

Memphis, Tennessee
The birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll and home to the king - Elvis Presley
Our bus journey from Nashville to Memphis was only 4 hours – we arrived in the afternoon and checked in to our motel which was extremely disappointing, especially for the price we have paid (we later realised that we actually could have stayed in the Heartbreak hotel for just a little bit more money – gutted!). It's non-smoking but a lot worse than the hotel in Orlando (that was cheaper) and the bathroom is pretty grubby! But it was only for 3 nights…! Jonny had a headache so he had a little nap whilst I pottered about and got some things done on the laptop and then we went out for some food.
The next morning we headed to Beale Street and to the Rock 'n' Soul Museum but we didn't go in, we just picked up the free shuttle bus that goes to Graceland. We got the Platinum Tour tickets which includes the mansion, the planes, the automobiles, the '68 Comeback Special exhibit, the Elvis on Tour exhibit, and the Sincerely Elvis exhibit. We decided to go to the mansion first and it was totally and completely AMAZING! I have dreamt of going to Graceland for the last 10 years ever since I first discovered Elvis and I felt so lucky that I was able to see it! The rooms were stunning but nobody is allowed upstairs – when Graceland was opened to the public it was decided that the upstairs would be closed off because those were private family rooms and apparently whenever Elvis had guests he would always greet and entertain them downstairs. It was strange trying to imagine Elvis and his family actually walking around and living in these rooms but maybe that's because on the other hand you know that there are hundreds of tourists traipsing through it almost every day of the year! It was sad knowing that he had died in a room somewhere up those stairs, sad seeing the piano that he played on the last morning of his life, and very sad seeing his grave. It was a brilliant experience though and once we'd seen the mansion there were lots of other things to see too. The planes and automobiles were very cool and all the exhibitions were really interesting. We pretty much spent all day there so when we got back to Beale St we just picked up some food from a grocery store and headed back to the motel to chill out for a while. Later on we went to check out Beale St at night – there was a live blues band playing in the park area just off the street which was cool and then we wandered down the street looking at all the bars and shops. We ended up watching the band in the park for a while before calling it a night.
The next day we inadvertently had a very lazy morning and didn't make it out until about noon! We went to the Rock 'n' Soul Museum which was very interesting, it's all about how country, gospel, blues, soul, white people and black people came together and made a fusion of music known as Rock 'n' Roll. Then we caught the free shuttle bus to Sun Studios and took the tour there. We went into the famous recording studio where Elvis cut his first record and lots of other famous people such as Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis all recorded songs. The room still had all the original floor, wall, and ceiling tiles from the 50's which was amazing and we even got to hold one of the five microphones used for recordings during the 50's and stand in the exact spot where Elvis stood to record! It was so cool! After that we caught the bus back to Beale St and went and got some food. Then we went to check out the Gibson guitar factory and had a look at all the guitars in the shop – Jonny got quite excited!
Seeing as we had an early start and a 12 hour bus journey the next day we spent the rest of the day chilling out and got an early night.
Next stop – Dallas and Fort Worth Texas, YeeHaa!

Teen to be charged as adult in fatal Duquesne shooting
Allegheny County Homicide detectives arrested a 15-year-old boy on Tuesday for allegedly shooting a pregnant teenager in Duquesne last month, killing her unborn son.
Investigators said Eric Taylor, 15, of Duquesne will be charged as an adult in connection with the April 26 shooting of 15-year-old DaRae Delgado, who was seven months pregnant. Taylor already was incarcerated in Allegheny County Jail, charged in the shooting of two people from Wilkinsburg the day after he allegedly shot Delgado, according to Duquesne police Chief Richard Adams.
"(Taylor) is well-known to police," Adams said. "He's been involved in other incidents around here in the past."
According to Allegheny County Homicide, Taylor allegedly knocked on the door of Delgado's home along the 100 block of Friendship Avenue around 12:30 a.m. on April 26 and, when she opened it, he shot her four times — once directly in the abdomen.
Delgado was transported to UPMC Mercy, where Delgado's mother, DeAnna Weems, 34, said the father of her unborn grandson, Donald Crawford, remained by her daughter's side. The baby, who Weems said was going to be named Derran, did not survive.
On May 27, Taylor reportedly was involved in a double shooting along Catherine Street in Duquesne. Police said Taylor and possibly another person allegedly fired several shots at three Wilkinsburg teens who were on the porch of a home in the 800 block of Catherine Street. Two were injured in the foot and ankle. The victims fled to a nearby Hill Street home, and from there were transported to a regional hospital.
"As information developed, (Taylor) became a strong suspect in that incident," Adams said.
Taylor was charged with three counts each of aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person and placed in Allegheny County Jail by Judge Jeffrey A. Manning in lieu of $250,000 bond.
County detectives did not specify how Taylor became a suspect in the Delgado shooting, but he now will be charged as an adult with additional charges of homicide of an unborn child, attempted homicide, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person.
A neighbor who did not want to be identified said Delgado's family moved to the house less than a year ago and "didn't bother nobody." He said he hadn't seen the family since the shooting and doesn't know of any relationship between Taylor and Delgado.
The state Warrant Task Force posted a notice on the door of the Friendship Avenue home on Tuesday in search of Weems.
It did not specify if the warrant is related to the shooting. Weems did not return a request for comment.

Syria announces reform of inefficient industrial sector
Syria will soon launch a set of measures to reform its uncompetitive industrial sector, state media announced last week. President Bashar al-Assad will head an upcoming meeting of the ruling Baath party leadership to come up with a plan "to improve the quality of industrial production so that it can compete with foreign products," the party's newspaper Al-Baath said.
The economic reforms will center on both Syria's private and public sectors, along with joint projects that include both state and private financing. The measures are part of a plan of "comprehensive reform of the economy launched by the Syrian president which has as its chief goal an increase in revenues and an improvement in citizens' living conditions," the paper said.
With a sluggish economy, the average monthly salary in Syria is only $87.5, with officials and bureaucrats making about $100. The Baath party on December 2 gave the green light for the creation of private banks and a stock exchange. The party's regional command also urged the country's banks to trade the Syrian pound at closer to its real value.
The Syrian government uses a variety of rates to value the Syrian pound, ranging from 11 to 46 pounds to the dollar. The effective street rate of the dollar is around 50 pounds. — (AFP, Damascus)

The banking industry does not believe a global tax on financial transactions is appropriate for Australia because its financial institutions didn't fail during the financial crisis.
The European Commission has lodged draft legislation to introduce such a tax, that will go before all 27 European Union heads of state and government next month, and also the G20 leaders summit in Cannes in November, despite opposition from the US.
"This is just a tax on the rest of the world to pay for the European Union's debt problems," Australian Bankers' Association (ABA) chief executive Steven Munchenberg said in a statement.
"Nations that are in favour of this type of tax are those where banks had real problems.
"These countries want to tax their banks because they had to use taxpayer money to bail out the banks during the GFC, unlike Australia, Canada and other countries.
Rather than having to bail out Australian banks, he said, taxpayers have already earned $3 billion from banks through the federal government's wholesale funding guarantee and will pay more than $5 billion over the life of the scheme.
He said the ABA is pleased that Treasurer Wayne Swan previously ruled out this tax for Australia.
However, Australian Greens Leader Bob Brown says he backs the tax plan and will be pursuing it during the government's tax forum in Canberra next week.
