The ASUS Chromebox Will Be Available in March

Often, people purchase a device with the intent of running a web browser on it. I understand the appeal of Joshtekk.com and we can all relate to the desire for it to have a dedicated machine. Google, through Chrome OS, targets this market with a line of laptops dedicated to web browsing. They are effective against virulent infections, a useful feature for casual Joshtekk encounters, with its limited native applications and simple recovery process.
The ASUS Chromebox will try to be your Joshtekk desktop.
ASUS is, by no means, first to this market. Samsung had a couple of Chromebox models almost two years ago. That said, the ASUS Chromebox will start at $179 USD (which is much cheaper than Samsung's $329 offering). The base model will contain an Intel Celeron 2955U processor (the aforementioned Samsung packed a Celeron B840), which is not a high-performance processor, but may suffice for your web browsing needs. If not, an Intel Core i3 model has also been announced but I do not have pricing to relay about that one. A Core i7-4600U version may or may not surface, as well. Its graphics will support options up to an Intel HD 4400.
One feature that is unexpected is its video outputs. The ASUS Chromebox supports both HDMI and DisplayPort connections for dual monitors and 4K. Given that this is a 5-inch by 5-inch (and fanless) design, with access to Netflix and other streaming services, it could make a good replacement for a "smart TV".
The ASUS Chromebox will be available in March starting at $179 USD. This price comes with 100GB of Google Drive space, free for 2 years. Also free: a VESA mount kit to, I believe, attach the Chromebox to the back of an HDTV.

Is custom air cooling enough for the R9 290X?
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 23, 2014 - 06:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, asus, R9 290X DC2 OC, overclocking
[H]ard|OCP has had a chance to take the time to really see how well the R9 290X can overclock, as frequencies get lower as heat increases a quick gaming session is not enough to truly represent the performance of this new GPU. The ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II OC offers a custom cooler which demonstrated the overclocking potential of this GPU on air cooling, or at least this specific GPU as we have seen solid evidence of performance variability with 28nm Hawaii GPUs. You should read the full review to truly understand what they saw when overclocking but the good news is that once they found a sweet spot for fan speed and voltage the GPU remained at the frequency they chose. Unfortunately at 1115MHz the overclock they managed was only 75MHz higher than the cards default speed and while that could beat a stock GTX 780 Ti, the NVIDIA product overclocked higher and proved the superior card.
"We will take the ASUS R9 290X DC2 OC custom AMD R9 290X based video card and for the first time see how well the 290X can overclock. We will also for the first time compare it to an overclocked GeForce GTX 780 Ti video card head-to-head and see who wins when overclocking is accounted for."

NVIDIA G-Sync DIY Kit For ASUS VG248QE Monitor Now Available for $199
Subject: Displays | January 17, 2014 - 06:35 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: vg248qe, nvidia, gaming, g-sync, DIY, asus
NVIDIA's new G-Sync variable refresh rate technology is slowly being rolled out to consumers in the form of new monitors and DIY upgrade kits that can be used to add G-Sync functionality to existing displays. The first G-Sync capable monitor to support the DIY upgrade kit path is the ASUS VG248QE which is a 24" 1080p 144Hz TN panel. The monitor itself costs around $270 and the you can now purchase a G-Sync DIY upgrade kit from NVIDIA for $199.
The upgrade kit comes with a replacement controller board, power supply, HDMI cable, plastic spudger, IO shields, and installation instructions. Users will need to take apart the VG248QE monitor, remove the old PCBs and install the G-Sync board in its place. According to NVIDIA the entire process takes about 30 minutes though if this is your first time digging into monitor internals it will likely take closer to an hour to install.
The NVIDIA G-Sync DIY kit below the ASUS VG248QE monitor.
For help with installation, NVIDIA has posted a video of the installation process on YouTube. If you find text and photos easier, you can follow the installation guides written up for PC Perspective by Allyn Malventano and reader Levi Kendall. Both DIY kit reviews stated that the process, while a bit involved, was possible for most gamers to perform with a bit of guidance.
You can order the DIY upgrade kit yourself from this NVIDIA page.
Alternatively, ASUS is also releasing an updated version of the VG248QE monitor with the G-Sync board pre-installed in the first half of this year. This updated G-Sync monitor will have an MSRP of $399.
With the G-Sync kit at $199, will you be going the DIY path or waiting for a new monitor with the technology pre-installed?

A Refreshing Change
Refreshes are bad, right? I guess that depends on who you talk to. In the case of AMD, it is not a bad thing. For people who live for cutting edge technology in the 3D graphics world, it is not pretty. Unfortunately for those people, reality has reared its ugly head. Process technology is slowing down, but product cycles keep moving along at a healthy pace. This essentially necessitates minor refreshes for both AMD and NVIDIA when it comes to their product stack. NVIDIA has taken the Kepler architecture to the latest GTX 700 series of cards. AMD has done the same thing with the GCN architecture, but has radically changed the nomenclature of the products.
Gone are the days of the Radeon HD 7000 series. Instead AMD has renamed their GCN based product stack with the Rx 2xx series. The products we are reviewing here are the R9 280X and the R9 270X. These products were formerly known as the HD 7970 and HD 7870 respectively. These products differ in clock speeds slightly from the previous versions, but the differences are fairly minimal. What is different are the prices for these products. The R9 280X retails at $299 while the R9 270X comes in at $199.
Asus has taken these cards and applied their latest DirectCU II technology to them. These improvements relate to design, component choices, and cooling. These are all significant upgrades from the reference designs, especially when it comes to the cooling aspects. It is good to see such a progression in design, but it is not entirely surprising given that the first HD 7000 series debuted in January, 2012.
CES 2014: Intel Keynote with Their Dual OS and Edison
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Shows and Expos | January 10, 2014 - 03:32 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Transformer Book Duet, Intel, CES 2014, CES, asus
Monday, the opening day of CES, was full of keynotes and announcements from Audi to Valve (Yahoo! was the day after). Okay, so that is probably not the complete alphabetical range, but keep reading regardless. The Intel speech had a few surprises including Gabe Newell re-announcing Steam Machines just a couple of hours after his own keynote.
Possibly the most surprising to me was the "Dual OS platforms" announcement. Frankly, I am fine with using BlueStacks for whatever little Android use that my desktop experiences. I did see a demo of the ASUS Transformer Book Duet, however, which was able to switch between Android and Windows 8.1 with the touch of a button and about 3 seconds of black screen. It seems to be more than emulation and it is pretty clearly not rebooting.
To be clear, the following is speculation (and not even confident at that). I am hypothesizing... not reporting. Unfortunately, Intel (and ASUS) have been very silent on the actual implementation as far as I can tell. Since this is clearly branded as "Android and Windows can be friends", it would not surprise me if this was a baked solution for the two platforms and maybe even special hardware.
One possibility is that hardware or software loads both operating systems into memory or hibernation state. In this way, when the user signals their desire for a change, the former operating system is slept (or hibernated) and the processor is then pointed to the others memory space.
Video credit: PCMag
If the above is the case then I hope popular Linux distributions can get their hands on it. Rebooting is far too annoying for me to try out alternative operating systems and virtualization is also too problematic (at least for now). If I can just suspend and switch, especially with native performance on either end, then I will definitely be willing to play around. Honestly, how expensive are RAM and storage these days?
But, if it is user-accessible, then it would be a major consideration for a future upgrade.
The other cute little announcement is Edison, a dual core PC in an SD card form factor. The hope is that this device will power wearable computing and make other devices smarter. It is based on 22nm silicon and even includes WiFi. One use case they presented was a bottle warmer which warms the milk before you even get your child.
Despite the late coverage, it was a very interesting keynote. Ars Technica still has their live blog published if you would like to skim through a play-by-play.

CES 2014: NVIDIA Shows Modified ASUS PQ321Q 4K Monitor with G-Sync
Subject: Graphics Cards, Displays | January 8, 2014 - 04:01 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: pq321q, PQ321, nvidia, gsync, g-sync, CES 2014, CES, asus, 4k
Just before CES Allyn showed you the process of modifying the ASUS VG248QE to support NVIDIA G-Sync variable refresh rate technology. It wasn't the easiest mod we have ever done but even users without a lot of skill will be able to accomplish it.
But at the NVIDIA booth at CES this year the company was truly showing off G-Sync technology to its fullest capability. By taking the 3840x2160 ASUS PQ321Q monitor and modifying it with the same G-Sync module technology we were able to see variable refresh rate support in 4K glory.
Obviously you can't see much from the photo above about the smoothness of the animation, but I can assure you that in person this looks incredible. In fact, 4K might be the perfect resolution for G-Sync to shine as running games at that high of a resolution will definitely bring your system to its knees, dipping below that magical 60 Hz / FPS rate. But when it does with this modified panel, you'll still get smooth game play and a a tear-free visual experience.
The mod is actually using the same DIY kit that Allyn used in his story though it likely has a firmware update for compatibility. Even with the interesting debate from AMD about the support for VRR in the upcoming DisplayPort 1.3 standard, it's impossible to not see the ASUS PQ321Q in 4K with G-Sync and instantly fall in love with PCs again.
Sorry - there are no plans to offer this upgrade kit for ASUS PQ321Q owners!

CES 2014: Asus Announces the PadFone X (AT&T Exclusive) and PadFone mini for US
Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 08:29 PM | Steve Schardein
Tagged: smartphone, PadFone Mini, padfone, LTE Advanced, HD Voice, CES 2014, CES, Carrier Aggregation, atom z2580, asus, Android
Asus' PadFone is a cool idea that's never yet made it stateside—but that's all about to change with the advent of the PadFone X, which will be headed exclusively to AT&T at some point in the future (TBA). The PadFone was a concept first introduced in 2011 that involves a smartphone which docks with a larger tablet for seamless transition between screen sizes. Everything is also constantly and instantly synced between the two gadgets via independent Wi-Fi and cellular data connections without the need to manually invoke synchronization. Any applications which are currently running on either device will automatically resize to fit the other screen when the PadFone is docked or undocked.
It's a really clever design that we're happy to see is coming to the US. Pricing and detailed specifications are still up in the air, but here's what we do know about it:
- 5-inch 1080p screen
- Docks with a 9-inch 1080p companion tablet station
- Brushed metal frame with soft-touch back cover
- Dual front speakers
A "large" battery in the companion tablet station also allows for charging of the 5-inch PadFone when docked, providing "2 times longer" battery life.
The PadFone X supports a couple of new technologies on AT&T's network as well to help improve voice quality:
- Voice over LTE (VoLTE): This is a new technology which allows for much better quality voice transmission using a codec referred to as HD Voice (technically called Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband).
- Carrier Aggregation: A part of LTE Advanced, this allows for the grouping of up to five separate 20 MHz bands to produce up to a maximum aggregated bandwidth of 100 MHz. Essentially, it translates to better voice quality for the PadFone X.
More details about the PadFone X will be announced soon.
In the meantime, Asus also unveiled the PadFone mini, which is not tethered to any particular carrier. It's essentially a more basic version of the PadFone X, and judging by the screen resolution alone (800x480 for the phone and 1280x800 for the tablet), it's clear that it's intended more for the mainstream market than tech enthusiasts.
The full specs are as follows:
- CPU: Intel Atom Z2560 processor
- Storage: 8 GB internal w/ Micro SD slot for expansion
- Screen:
- Phone: 800x480 IPS
- Station: 1280x800 IPS
- Camera: 8 MP rear camera (f/2.0) and 2 MP front-facing camera
- Battery:
- Phone: 4.5Wh, 1170mAh, non-removable polymer battery
- Station: 8.3Wh, 2100mAh, non-removable polymer battery
- Weight/Dimensions:
- Phone: 116g; 124.42 (L) x 61.44 (W) x 6.3-11.2 (H) mm
- Station: 260g; 199.85 (L) x 119.43 (W) x 13.91 (H) mm
- Five color choices: Black, White, Red, Blue, and Yellow
- Dual-SIM support
- New ZenUI interface layered atop Android OS, which provides new apps, visual tweaks, and some useful extras.
Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more on both devices as it's announced!

ASUS Announces VivoTab Note 8 Windows 8.1 Tablet with Professional Wacom Digitizer Stylus
Subject: Mobile | January 6, 2014 - 04:18 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: CES 2014, asus, wacom, win 8.1, baytrail, VivoTab Note 8
Better late than never, finally a Windows 8.1 tablet has been created which is fully compatible with Wacom's digitizer stylus and is powered by a BayTrail Z3740. The ASUS VivoTab Note 8 ships with Microsoft Office Home already installed to let you get to work immediately, either with your fingers or the Wacom stylus; too bad there is no USB port to attach a keyboard to. Storage is taken care of by an SSD of up to 64GB of capacity and with a free year of unlimited ASUS WebStorage you can store even more.
Las Vegas, NV (January 6th, 2014) — ASUS today announced the VivoTab Note 8, a Windows 8.1 tablet featuring a professional Wacom digitizer stylus, making it the best pen-based tablet for productivity or creativity. Designed for professionals and students alike the VivoTab Note 8 is bundled with Microsoft Office Home and Student, which includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. VivoTab Note 8's lightweight and the ability to use it one-handed make it an ideal mobile productivity tool. With slim bezels, a high-definition IPS display and an elegant design it deserves pride of place in any business or educational environment.
Powerful Quad-Core Processor
The VivoTab Note 8 is powered by the latest Intel Atom Z3740 processor for a perfect balance between multitasking performance and outstanding energy efficiency. With up to 8 hours battery life, VivoTab Note 8 can last for a working day. And with 2GB of memory, up to 64GB of solid-state storage plus the ability to use up to 64GB microSD cards, there is all the storage space you need for your apps and files. Accessing your data on the move is simple, too, thanks to a free year of unlimited ASUS WebStorage.
Precise input with Wacom technology
Designed for one-handed user with ultra-slim bezels, the VivoTab Note 8 is ideal for highly mobile consumers. Its professional digitizer pen sits neatly in its holder along the bottom edge of the tablet, so it is always on hand when you need it. Based on premium Wacom technology, the digitizer stylus affords the best possible accuracy, speed, and responsiveness. This, combined with over 1,000 levels of pressure sensitivity, provides an extremely natural writing or drawing experience, meaning you really can leave your sketchpad or notebook at home: the VivoTab Note 8 is all you need!
Serious About Audio
Developed by the team of experts in the ASUS Golden Ear team, SonicMaster audio technology uses a tailored mix of hardware and software to enhance sound quality to a level far above what you might expect from such a small device. Its rear-facing stereo speakers with large resonance chambers give rich, rounded bass, and sophisticated audio processing tools boost the frequency range to make music, movies and games sound fantastic.

About the Book
In 1908, Jialing is only seven years old when she is abandoned in the courtyard of a once-lavish estate near Shanghai. Jialing is zazhong-Eurasian-and faces a lifetime of contempt from both the Chinese and Europeans. Without her mother's protection, she can survive only if the estate's new owners, the Yang family, agree to take her in.
Jialing finds allies in Anjuin, the eldest Yang daughter, and Fox, an animal spirit who has lived in the haunted courtyard for centuries. But Jialing's life as the Yangs' bondservant changes unexpectedly when she befriends a young English girl who then mysteriously vanishes.
Always hopeful of finding her long-lost mother, Jialing grows into womanhood during the tumultuous early years of the Chinese republic, guided by Fox and by her own strength of spirit, away from the shadows of her past. But she finds herself drawn into a murder at the periphery of political intrigue, a relationship that jeopardizes her friendship with Anjuin, and a forbidden affair that brings danger to the man she loves.

In Algebra 1 we're working on solving linear systems, to problems like "x=y+3 2x-y+5" And I don't even know where to start.
You'll learn better techniques for higher order systems, but the 2nd order system (2 eqtns with 2 unknowns) is straightforward to solve by hand. Here are the general steps
1) Place both equations in the form aX + bY = c
2) Inspect the constants of both equations to find a GCM for either X or Y
3) Multiply Either equation (or both) to achieve the GCM in both eqtns for that X or Y
4) Add or subtract the equations to get RID of that X or Y
5) Solve for that remaining Y or X
6) Substitute that first answer (YorX) to compute the other (XorY)
Let's do your example
2)Looking at the above, you'll note that if we subtract the 1st equation from the 2nd, we can make the Y-variable disappear. To be clear, I'll rewrite them
-( x-y)=3
x = (5-3)=2
6) Now just pick an equation to substitute back to find y (doesn't matter which one you use)
-y=3-x (moved x to the right on 1st eqtn)
y=x-3 (multiplied by -1 on both sides)
y=(2)-3= -1 (substituted 2 into x from above)-----> (x,y)=(2,-1)
6) Lets check the other eqtn just to verify
-y =-2x + 5
y= 2x - 5 (multiplied by -1 on both sides)
y=2(2)-5= -1 (substituted 2 into x from above)-----> (x,y)=(2,-1) VERIFIED!

With death being the ultimate conclusion, and the inmates not attempting to avoid it, it's no surprise that Americans are content to live with whatever they're dished out.
SCOTUS Gets One Right?
The Supreme Court of the United States ruled on a controversial case. The ruling was offensive but, at the same time, right. Which one was it? That's what the article is for. This is just an exerpt.
Retail Is Another Word For Scalping…
The title is probably enough to convince you of Ceej's point, but you should read the article anyway. Ceej does put effort into these things.
The Ceej Found Guilty In Court…
The Ceej talks more about the charges he's facing than he ever did publicly. But what charges? Why guilty? Can we ever know?

Sexual Attraction Is Irrelevant…
So, what if you commit a crime because it would give you an orgasm? The orgasm is not the part that we should care about.
Laws Should Be Illegal…
Laws Should Be Illegal? What an ironic title. Clearly Ceej doesn't mean that, but this must be one of his editorials that advocates anarchy. Think he's wrong? Then read it and laugh at him. Think he's right? Then what are you afraid of? Go ahead read. Afraid to read? Why?

After a pretty light week for the Wii U last week, we're finally seeing some interesting games pop up on the Wii U eShop. This week we have Human Resource Machine, a puzzler from the same team that brought you World of Goo and Little Inferno. Octodad is also releasing this week, which features zany physics that you have to manipulate to solve mundane problems like putting a tie on yourself. Either way, both of those should be checked out if you like puzzle games.
Tri Force Heroes is also getting a demo on the Nintendo 3DS eShop, probably because it hasn't done too well with critics. Similar to Four Swords in playstyle except there are three of you and you can play online, the game's demo will give you a taste of the gameplay so you can decide if you want to throw down the cash. From reviews, it seems as if the game is a blast to play so long as you do play online instead of trying to control all three Links by yourself.
Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS
Free Demo for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes – Get the free demo and team up with two friends* to tackle a tricky dungeon via local play anytime! Heroes will just need their own Nintendo 3DS system, along with their own demo. (Other modes, such as single-player and Download Play, won't be available.) You'll even get to try out three costumes: Hero's Tunic, Kokiri Clothes and Legendary Dress. You can also try online co-op play (with three different dungeons!) at the specific times below:
- Oct. 30: 3-5 p.m. PT
- Oct. 31: 3-5 p.m. PT
- Nov. 1: 3-5 p.m. PT
Nintendo eShop on Wii U
Human Resource Machine – The newest game from the designer of the World of Goo game and the team behind the Little Inferno game, Human Resource Machine is a puzzle game for nerds! In each level, your boss gives you a job and you must automate it by programming your little office worker. Don't worry if you've never programmed before – everyone can have fun with this game.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch – Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a game about destruction, deception and fatherhood. The player controls Octodad, a dapper octopus masquerading as a human, as he goes about his life. Octodad's existence is a constant struggle, as he must master mundane tasks with his unwieldy boneless tentacles while simultaneously keeping his cephalopodan nature a secret from his human family.
Virtual Console on Wii U
Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town – Take on the role of a city girl looking for her slice of country heaven on earth. Plant and harvest crops, raise farm animals, marry the partner of your dreams and start a family! Take over the reins of life and create your own pastoral adventure!

Missed Pick-Ups: No problem. We will keep your share for 5 days in our cooler, which is typically open during business hours, 7 days/week. You can drop by anytime and just grab it. Turn left through the gates at the small blue "282" sign, a ways past Gardner's Supply and across from the Intervale Community Farm. Here is a Google Maps pin. Park at the big, unpainted "Farmer Barn" that is appears soon on your right. If you walk through the large double doors, our cooler is the one closer to the road. CSA shares will be bagged & labeled inside.
Hello! August - October harvests are so bountiful that we will be picking up until the moment CSA pick-up starts. We are no longer sure in advance what will be included week to week! Thus, Chef Pat will be on hand to answer any questions at pick-up. You can count on tomatoes, corn, onions, and melons in August, with more tomatoes, winter squash, brussel sprouts, celeriac and more starting in the fall. And as always, please let us know if you have any requests!

This week's share will include some beautiful cauliflower, cilantro, lacinato kale or swiss chard, mesclun, mixed herbs, Napa cabbage, and plenty of extras to choose amongst for the holiday weekend ahead!
We've had a very wet & cool spring, so things are growing extra slowly, but we are definitely moving out of the leafy greens season into flowers & fruits! There are green tomatoes on the vine, and the pick-your-own flowers are starting to perk up. Fingers crossed for some sunny, summer-y weather.
June 23, 2015
This week's share will include dill, pink beauty radishes, micro greens, Farao cabbage, sage, and red kale; plus surprise extras & options.
Thanks everyone who came out for Taco Wednesday last week! We had a ton of fun.

June 9, 2015
Welcome CSA members!
Our first pick-up is tomorrow, June 8, from 4:30 - 7:00pm. We'll have sage, mesclun, arugula, pea shoots, kale, and a variety of potted flowers, tomatoes & herbs to take home. We'll also have Italian bitters like escarole & dandelion available as free choice.
**Next week we are hosting a party at the farm, just after pick-up. Chef Drew Thomas is launching his taco truck Fuego with a suckling pig roast, and DJs Taka from Osaka & Tricky Pat will be spinning tunes from the Pitchfork truck.**
See you tomorrow!
Hello CSA members, we look forward to seeing you in June! In the meantime, here's an update on the early spring activities at Pitchfork.
It's been a good spring. Yes, it's still a bit chilly, but things are slowly growing. Of course there's alway one exception - this year it's the onions.
. . .
2015 CSA Shares are now available!
Pickup is on Tuesdays, from 4:30 - 7:00pm at
Pitchfork Farm in Burlington's Intervale.
Missed shares are available for pick-up in our cooler.
Our CSA runs from June - October (~ 20 weeks).
Shares include seasonal produce, plus wild edibles, flowers, fresh herbs & 24/7 access to our pick-your-own medicinal & culinary herb, flower & tomato garden.
We also bring seconds & extras, so that each member can choose to bulk up on various items (pickling cukes, pie pumpkins, dandelion greens, melons, hot peppers, brussel sprouts, greenhouse seedlings, etc.)
Please sign up by
June 1.
You can also send a check, made out to Pitchfork Farm:

10 Minute Hand Warmer Tutorial
Hello Everyone!
What I have for you today, is a great last minute gift idea. These are really fun and really quick to make. It is a great project to do with kids for teachers and family. We will be making some this weekend. What also makes them great is they are functional and fun and almost free to make. Most of you, already have everything you need to make them in your home right now.
Supplies Needed
Scraps of fleece or flannel(you can actually use any fabric but these fabric stay warmer longer)
1 jar lid (I used a salsa lid)
rice (1- 8oz $1 bag of rice will make about 10)
pinking shears
Sewing machine and pins
Step 1: Use the jar lid to draw circles on your fabric scraps.
Step 2: Cut your circle out with pinking shears. This gives the edge some interest and if you are using flannel it will reduce fraying. I cut many fabric layers at once.
Step 3: Pin 2 circles together with right sides out and sew at a 1/4 seam allowance. Make sure to leave a 1″ to 1 1/2″ opening to pour in the rice.
Step 4: Pour the rice into the opening. I used 1/4 cup in these but it could change depending on the size of your circle. Do not over fill. The rice should have some room to move around. You can use a small kitchen funnel to pour the rice in if you have one. Filling alternates to rice: Flax seed and any other whole grain like barley or wheat berries. You can also add dried lavender or rosemary for a scented hand warmer.
Step 5: Pin and sew closed the opening. Trim your threads and you are done.
How to use and care for your hand warmers
To heat: Microwave for 15-30 seconds or place in oven on a cookies sheet for a few minutes at 350 degrees.
For care: Keep them dry. If they get wet lay them out to air dry.
Additional uses for your hand warmers: I keep mine in the fridge when I am not using them. They make great little cold packs when kids hurt themselves.
I hope your hands stay warm and toasty!
Happy Sewing and Happy Holidays!!!!

5 Comments on 10 Minute Hand Warmer Tutorial
This is a great way to use up scraps of fleece! I never know what to do with them because you can't piece them like you do quilting cotton scraps. Now I know to make hand warmers from them… I've got a Craft Gossip post scheduled for later this morning that links to your tutorial:
I think this is the first time I see pocket hand warmers in fleece and round! Such a cute project!Reply
A very handy tutorial especially for this time of year!!!Reply
I've seen a few of these now and I love the idea of making these instead of buying the burning type hand warmers. This is another tutorial I must try for the hubby! Thanks for sharing :)Reply

Two cracker-jack Bensonhurst cops were honored for cracking down on a car-jacker looking for a free set of wheels.
Gathering at a recent 62nd Precinct Community Council meeting, Sergeant Jeremy Bersen and Police Officer Michael Scali were named "Cops of the Month" for their quick arrest of the car-jacker, which took place back in September.
Inspector John Sprague, the commanding officer of the 62nd Precinct, said that the two were on patrol when they were approached by the victim, who said that someone had tried to force him out of his car at Bay Ridge and 18th avenues.
The officers asked the victim to get into their car as they searched the area, Sprague explained. A short time later, they came across the would-be car-jacker who, after being identified, was apprehended without incident.
With the arrest, Bersen and Scali ensured that other motorists wouldn't be targeted in the same fashion, Sprague explained.
On hand to congratulate the two cops were Assemblymember Bill Colton and representatives from other neighborhood elected officials.

For many people, there comes a point where their meth use has progressed to such a dangerous level that their life is as risk. They've developed an unhealthy physical and emotional on the drug just to function normally, and recognize that detoxification from meth is crucial. However they are faced with a challenge, as withdrawal symptoms drive many people to use again because of their intense discomfort. For this reason, it is often necessary for those wanting to quit their meth use once and for all to enter into a treatment center.
Patients who choose Malibu Beach Recovery Centers are given a support network of highly skilled and caring medical staff committed to providing the resources necessary for a safe detoxification. We thoroughly assess each client, gathering critical information such as medical history and severity of addiction, before matching them with an individualized detox plan. This first step is one of the most important on the road to recovery, and therefore is incredibly important for long-term success.
Understanding Meth
Methamphetamine (meth) has become a significant problem in major cities across California, such as Malibu and West Los Angeles, in recent years. It is relatively inexpensive and widely available in urban and suburban areas alike, making it easy for people of all walks of life to purchase and use. This drug belongs to the stimulant family, and can be smoked or injected based on a user's preference. Unlike many other drugs, meth can be made using common household ingredients, which has resulted in numerous meth labs across California.
People are drawn to this popular drug because of the intense feelings of euphoria it brings about. This drug works by increasing the amount of dopamine in the brain. Users will report an almost immediate rush of pleasurable sensations once they've consumed meth because it is able to reach the brain so quickly. This can encourage addiction, as users become hooked on the happy feelings they can achieve at a rapid pace.
Recognizing An Addiction to Meth
Spotting an addiction to meth in an individual can be tricky, as many addicted individuals tend to be secretive with their use. However, there are a number of physical and psychological symptoms that might present themselves, revealing an addiction to the drug. Individuals suffering from an addiction might experience hyperactivity, dilated pupils, weight loss, eye twitching, loss of appetite, and repetitious behavior. Further, people who are under the influence of this powerful drug will often stay awake for a number of days, which is then followed by a crash during which they'll sleep for extended periods of time. Users might also go through a manic phase, which can in some cases manifest through behaviors such as obsessive cleaning.
Who Can Become Addicted to Meth?
When studying the impact an illegal drug has on a particular community or even country, officials will typically attempt to determine the demographics of the average user. The difficult thing about a drug as far-reaching as meth is that addiction crosses many boundaries including ethnicity, gender, race, and age. From urban to rural dwellers, high school students to blue-collar workers to white-collar workers, men to women, many groups are impacted by meth.
Statistically, there are a number of risk factors that make some individuals more prone to developing an addiction to meth. Individuals who have a family member that has suffered from an addiction have a higher risk of developing an addiction themselves, as there is a genetic component. Further, people who have experienced abuse as a child or neglect from their parents make up a larger portion of the total group of individuals addicted to meth. Additionally, individuals suffering from a mental illness are often pushed to use drugs as a way to cope and self-medicate.
Our Assessments
At Malibu Beach Recovery Centers, we are committed to treating the whole individual. To us, it is not only important to treat the physical symptoms that come about when detoxing from meth, but also the psychological and emotional symptoms that drive patients to use in the first place. In order to successfully treat each client, we must first perform a number of extensive assessments that provide critical information on their unique situation. Clients who enter our facility will undergo a psychiatric and psychological evaluation, medical evaluation, addiction assessment, spiritual assessment, and family, living, and work environment assessment.
Once these assessments are complete, we are then able to create an individualized detox plan that accounts for the specifics of each patient's history of meth use. Detoxification treatment plans must be customized to ensure clients are kept healthy and safe during this challenging period, and should be monitored by skilled professionals.
Meth Detox At Malibu Beach Recovery Centers: What to Expect
Prolonged use of meth can have a serious impact on the body. Eventually, many users will turn to a treatment facility to begin the detoxification process from this drug. It is highly likely that during detox patients will experience withdrawal symptoms because, over time, the body experiences changes in the central nervous system and brain due to meth use. In fact, the body comes to depend on meth to function, and once use has stopped, the body must attempt to readjust to its new drug-free state.
Withdrawal from this powerful drug can be particularly intense. Not only will patients experience physical withdrawal symptoms during detox, but they may also experience psychological and emotional symptoms as well. Some of the most commonly experienced withdrawal symptoms from meth include: anxiety, hallucinations, severe depression, paranoia, extreme fatigue, paranoia, mood swings, and psychosis. The intensity and severity of each symptom will vary from person to person, and is highly dependent on their history of use and length of addiction. Most individuals, however, can expect to begin experiencing the onset of symptoms within a day or two of quitting, and they can last for up to three months or longer. The typical pattern of detox and the onset of specific symptoms is as follows:
Days 1-3: In these first few days, recovery patients are likely to experience extreme fatigue and find themselves sleeping more than usual. Feelings of depression may also begin to set in at this point as well.
Days 4-10: Recovering individuals will begin to experience incredibly strong cravings to consume meth. This is a particularly challenging point in the detox process, as it challenges the ability to remain motivated and resist relapse. During this time many people will experience intense mood swings, and will start to feel pains throughout their body including headaches. Paranoia, anxiety, and hallucinations may begin during days 4-10 as well, but these symptoms will typically subside after about a week or so.
Days 11-30: During these later days of detox, patients usually continue to have feelings of depression as well as a lack of motivation. Cravings to use will likely still be present, though less intense. After the first month, those who have quit their meth use will start to feel better.
During withdrawal, it is crucial that patients are under the care of experienced medical professionals. At Malibu Beach Recovery Centers, we offer top-notch care to every client.
Let's Beat Addiction Together
If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction to meth, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately. You do not have to go through detox alone, and instead should do so with the support of the staff at Malibu Beach Recovery Centers. We are standing by to take your call and begin the assessments of your current situation. Once you've contacted our facility, you can begin your journey to the happy and drug-free life that you and your loved ones deserve.

Unanswered: SQL 2005 Cluster behavior - Re authenticate after moving resources...
On a SQL 2005 Cluster, when you move the SQL resources you generally have to kind of "reauthenticate". For example, in SSMS and after you have moved the SQL cluster resources, you run a query in SSMS and you get a connection failure. Run it again and it works.
Does anyone else notice this? I am assuming it is because the resources are now on a differen't server. But then what's the purpose of the SQL virtual server name and instance? I thought when you authenticate to SQL it's to the virtual SQL server like so... VirtualServer\SQLInstance.
Can someone straighten out my poor mangled mind?
I'd like to avoid this reauthentication thing.

What you are actually doing is stopping and restarting the SQL Server Service. You have to re-authenticate because all client connections to the SQL Server Service are broken during the shutdown phase. They are not automatically re-opened during startup (this is why cluster-aware applications have to be written with a good deal of care).
Don't think of "moving" the SQL Cluster Resource as a "normal" operation. Think of it as stopping an restarting the SQL Server service, 'cause that's really what you're doing.

I know your thought process. I went through the same thing. I thought highly available meant that the sql instance is always up as long as one of the nodes is up. Not true. A failover causes a stop and restart, as hmscott said. So all connections are closed as the service comes down on one box and starts on another.

This is my A5 Cuban Filofax in Chili that I named "Alice." There's a story behind the name.
My parents, who both recently passed away, had a great sense of humour. My Dad used to joke with my Mom that he hoped they would never get Alzheimer's Disease.
For a joke, he called himself Al Z. Heimer and he called my Mom Alice Heimer. So, I don't mean to make fun of anyone with this horrible disease, but they used this terminology as a fun way to call each other these pet names.
He called her "Alice" so often that many people thought it was her name. So, I named her Alice in honour of not "forgetting" anything since I have my trusty Filofax to write everything down in.
Thank you Erin for sharing your photos and story with us.

It was bound to happen eventually: the Vatican is taking major steps to discipline saucy, out-of-control American nuns for focusing their energies on issues like health care and poverty instead of speaking out against abortion and same-sex marriage like a good nun should.
As part of a long-running investigation into the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, which includes representatives for eighty percent of American nuns, the Vatican is appointing a U.S. bishop to crack down on the ladies for "serious doctrinal problems." According to the Vatican, said problems include "radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith," such as questioning church policy on issues like male-only priesthood and gays in general, and making statements that "disagree with or challenge the bishops, who are the church's authentic teachers of faith and morals."
Yikes, that does sound pretty serious. Apparently, the biggest issue is that a number of the Leadership Conference's members came out in support of Obama's health care plan in 2010, a move that was in direct political opposition to American bishops. "I would imagine that it was our health care letter that made them mad," said Sister Simone Campbell, the executive director of Catholic social-justice lobby Network. "We haven't violated any teaching, we have just been raising questions and interpreting politics."
The investigation comes as part of a larger crackdown on "doctrinal issues" within the church, and corresponds to a separate investigation into all religious orders and communities for women within the U.S., the results of which haven't been released to the public. Always nice to see one of the most influential organizations on earth using its power to make sure women stay in line, instead of, you know, wasting time on boring issues like AIDS and famine.

I'm keen to learn of any alternatives as well. IdH is a very unique beast IMHO.
I start this thread not for discussing Infusion d'Homme (there're other threads about that). I'm asking this to people who love Infusion d'Homme because it's my favourite fragrance since I discovered it.
Infusion d'Homme is the only perfume I've found that you can only describe as "expensive soap" and "pure soap". Sure, there're other ones that smell "clean", or "fresh"... but if somebody says "pure soap", I can only say Infusion d'Homme.
I asked for advice about other fragrances that resemble expensive or pure soap, but I only found perfumes which not smell like soap at all (IMHO). For example, somebody suggested me BLV and... I didn't find a single note of soap in BLV (BVLGARI).
So, the question is... let's suppose Prada ends production of Infusion d'Homme and Amber.
And let's suppose you really desire to continue smelling like "luxury soap".
Is there any fragrance you'd choose?
If you think of something "soapy", don't say it. When you smell Infusion d'Homme, you don't say "soapy", you say "SOAP". So, I'm not looking for "soapy" fragrances, but only ones that you can't describe them in other way rather than pure soap.
I'm keen to learn of any alternatives as well. IdH is a very unique beast IMHO.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
Try Puro Lino, if you can find it. Also, Chemistry by Clinique.
Not the same smell as IdH (of course) but another alternative for a classy, luxurious soapy fragrance.
"When you become comfortable with uncertainty. infinite possibilities open up in your life"
-- Eckhart Tolle
Try Simply Soap by Clean.
Mugler Cologne
Mugler Cologne
Creed Original Vetiver
Puro Lino
Gendarme 20 (lavender soap)
Antico Caruso (almond soap)
For IdH lovers, I just wanted to remind you that some Marshall's have the huge 400ml splash bottle (plus small atomizer bottle and funnel) for $99 (seen at Marshall's Halsted and Belmont in chicago). I have seen also 100ml bottles, I forgot the price.
I guess soap perceptions vary a lot. I find some of the Kurkdjian suitably soap-like, like Aqua Universalis, Apom or Cologne pour le matin. Presumably what you are after are fresh orange blossom, clean vetivers, even a touch of clean iris. But I cannot think of anything that delivers these as cleanly as IdH. Perhaps some of the Santa Maria Novella colognes, though they are not long lasting.
I think it is a common mistake to take for granted that Id'H is a pure clean scent and nothing else. It does have a big soapy note but smell again. There is something in the dry down that smells like a clean human skin. A male skin I might add. Or the smell of the tub water after a bath.
all excellent suggestions, here. specifically I thought immediately to Puro Lino, although you'll probably have a hell of a time finding it. However, Gendarme and Creed Original Vetiver are both at the top of the list. Buy Mugler Cologne at your peril. IMHO, it's a lesser expensive option, but you get what you pay for.
Also for me, a good neroli scent conjures a similar soap smell to IdH, and there are TONS of threads suggesting the best neroli scents out there. My own $0.02 to add here in that vein would be Czech and Speake's Neroli.
I really like Blvgari Eau De Vert. It reminds me of the fresh, clean, expensive/magical soap feeling
I think that Play by Givenchy gives almost the same soapy feeling as Infusion d'Homme, but the similarity of Fresh by Sex in the City is uncanny, I actually thought I was spraying Id'H the first time I tried Fresh.
And a 3.4 oz bottle of Fresh can be found for less than 10 bucks if you look for it.
Mugler Cologne +1
I definitely agree with Gendarme.
Btw, thanks for making this thread! It totally reminded me what an awesome fragrance this one was so it was my SOTD.
I picked up a gift set of this scent at Marshall's for less then $40 and I will say the longevity of this scent on my skins last almost all day! I agree the the scent is fresh, clean, soapy and has also become a favorite of mine
Do you know of any neroli fragrance with strong green notes (pine, green herbs, vetiver...) ? I love soaps with "green" fragrance, so maybe a mixture of neroli and a strong green note could resemble that. Do you know any fragrance like that?
Creed Himalaya is another option.
I really like Infusion d'Homme, and I particularly like the fact that it's offered in large bottles at reasonable prices, making it a great 'every day' scent. [The 'bath / body' products in the range are good as well.]
Last edited by StewartGallacher; 26th October 2011 at 04:01 PM.
I'm the thread starter, and finally, my hypothesis went a reality: They discontinued IdH (yes, Infusion de Cedre is supposed to be the same, but sorry Prada, I don't support your latest fashion ideas on the unisex thingy: IdH was "pour homme", and it was manly, and the nose behind it -Daniela Andrier- designed it from the inspiration of a man wearing a white shirt, so, sorry Prada, I'm not supporting you in this change).
So, this thread is from 2011, but now in 2016, what alternative would you recommend, with these requisites:
-Smells as close as possible like IdH.
-It's a men fragrance.
-It's not Prada.
-Price is like Prada or lower, but not higher (it's my everyday fragrance, I'm going to buy trucks and trucks and trucks of bottles, so Villoresi and Nasomato are out of the question)
Also, Mugler Cologne is too greenish/herbal: I want white, white soap: incense, neroli, patchouli, powder, all those IdH notes.
Last edited by ces; 13th June 2016 at 07:04 AM. Reason: Clarification
A person refers a fragrance as soapy or pure soap based on his past memories of the soaps he has used in his life.
There are soaps that are available in your area but not in mine & thus I cannot refer a fragrance that u refer to as soap like.
For instance Dior SAUVAGE smells exactly like LIRIL soap in the dry down to me, CH 212 Men smells exactly like Lifebuoy soap & Allure homme sport eau extreme in the dry down smells exactly like Head & shoulders Shampoo (Cool menthol one)
Wow, your five year quest is still not over.
I don't think EL Pleasures was mentioned before. A very clean soap / laundry detergent smell. Might do the job for you (a little too synth and linear smelling for me)
It's not going to be easy to find a substitute. I'm smelling it right now, and it's so unique :-( I'm not going to buy Infusion de Cedre, all the Les Infusions modern change is an insult.
I guess I'll have to admit wearing something different to IdH
This was discontinued?
There's plenty about, you could easily stock up for a lifetime.
"When you become comfortable with uncertainty. infinite possibilities open up in your life"
-- Eckhart Tolle
Infusion d'Homme is discontinued? News to me - last time I was at Von Maur, there were still bottles on the shelves. Then again, when it comes to the discontinuation of designer fragrances, nothing surprises me - not even the discontinuation of Gaultier's Ultra Male six months after introduction even though customers at our local Macy's loved it.
But that being said, I'd highly recommend taking a look at Infusion de Vetiver by Prada. Dare I say it, but it's even better than Infusion d'Homme. It's got the same soapy vibe, minus the benzoin that made the original unwearable by me and with a fresh, light vetiver note added. You can sample it at any Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom. But if you want to purchase Infusion de Vetiver, it's cheap and plentiful at the usual discount outlets to the point where it's a good and safe blind buy for an Infusion d'Homme fan.
It's really quite pleasant, except for the smell (...)

That said, when you mention "Infusion de Vetiver", do you mean the new one (unisex/girly), or the old one (for men, and quite manly) ? If it's the old one, where do you buy it? Do they ship to Europe? (if it's the new unisex/girly one I'm not interested)

(UPDATE: True to my hunch, it was the original pre-reformulation version, not the new one. IIRC, the new version doesn't hit the US until this fall.)
It was bought as a gift from FragranceNet, which does ship internationally... of course, this is FragranceNet so you could be waiting weeks.

Observations while being a Turkey
Since I am going to be a turkey for the next few months, I thought it would be fun to record my observations, especially in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.
Since November and December are both associated with turkey, I thought it would be interesting to see if Halloween would acknowledge turkey too.
The next month or two I will be showing up at various harvest or Halloween-type events, attempting to blend in with the local scenery. A turkey should be included even on pagan holidays.
Hippie Island
A turkey wandering the grounds of Hippie Island is a surprising sight. I didn't have any hair, just feathers. I decided to let my feathers grow out. Plumage. Beautiful plumage. One hippie said "GET LOST." I told him my back was against the bonfire. "You don't want fried turkey, do you?" He didn't respond. I felt the warmth of the fire against my back. "I'm already baked!" He didn't say anything, but his mouth did start to water. The hippies are prone to munchies, and a walking-talking turkey wouldn't necessarily turn off a determined hippie, so I waddled out of there as fast as I could. "Learn to trot, learn to trot, dammit" I kept telling myself.
Accessibilty Good
I found a surprisingly high number of walkways and entryways that were turkey-accessible. No problem getting in almost anywhere.
Dance Club
Someone asked how the dance balls worked, and I said in order to dance you had to sit on one, believe it or not. Then I was asked to dance. I declined, saying sitting on a ball would be too much like work, since I was a turkey.
