Google Street View car spotted in Singapore
Take note, you heard it first from CNET Asia--Google's Street View is coming to Singapore. An eagle-eyed CNET Asia reader named Andrew sent us a picture of this silver Opel Astra complete with cameras doubling its height and the Google logo pasted on the side door. This was spotted at the junction between Dorset Road and Kampong Java Road.
We contacted Google, and the search giant confirmed that the service will be coming to Google Maps Singapore in the coming months. Street View launched in Japan earlier this year.
For those unfamiliar with Street View, this feature of … Read more

To use True Blue, simply insert the dongle into one of the USB ports on your PS3 and power the system up. Do not remove the dongle at any point while the PS3 is running.True Blue for the most part functions just like a regular jailbreak/CFW in that you may install and run any homebrew software and all of the standard backup managers are supported. The most notable difference is that games designed for PS3 system software v3.6 and above are also supported.
However, in order to enjoy such titles, you must first obtain special "True Blue versions" which have been modified to function with True Blue. Such modified versions are available for download through the "usual channels" and are clearly labelled as being True Blue compatible.
Once you have obtained True Blue modified games, simply copy them to your PS3 internal or external USB HDD as you would with any usual jailbreak game and launch in the usual manner through any one of the many available backup managers.

Now with this latest firmware update the dongle fully supports booting of all v3.6+ 'backups' to from PS3 HDD using existing 'backup managers' which the end-user will choose to install, making 'True Blue' dongle one of the most affordable ways to enjoy both your Jailbreak-able PS3 console and still play latest v3.6+ games on your v3.55 PS3 console.

Creating ICC color profiles with Argyll CMS
An ICC color profile ensures that an image always looks the same – regardless of the output device. The free Argyll CMS software package lets you create color profiles in Linux.
Linux has a number of powerful programs for graphics, image manipulation, and Desktop Publishing (DTP). You can even use free software to manipulate the raw formats produced by several high-quality digital cameras. Photographers who are looking for color consistency need to use a Color Management System (CMS). Consistent color management means that color output on all output devices (including monitors as well as printers) accurately reflects the image captured by the input device (typically a digital camera or scanner). To put this simply: If you hold the hard copy next to the monitor, you should not be able to see any difference between the two images.

I really like these songs. sounds kinda like the older albums
Thank you for the news!
People won't always remember what you say, but, they will always remember how you make them feel.
oh my… this is….amazing. Like a blast from the 'good old days'...!
=My Music=
thanks for that info (: I've been listening to the album the last hour and I really like it. Like CW says: 'from the good old days' (:::
Thanks ! I've been wondering if they were going to make another album.
-Just finished the first half-an-hour-long song, and its great! - the end has some sounds similar to Nothing Lasts…

I'm just listening to the first track and i like it very much. But what i don't like very much is downloading tracks. I WANT A CD!!
Who? What?
just saw this…
Dear All,
Many of you have written in asking if the new Entheogenic album will be released on CD… ? At this precise moment I'm very sorry to say that there are no immediate plans to print on CD !!! But having said this, if enough digital sales are accumulated then it is quite likely that USR will for sure re-consider & make the album available on CD, probably in this coming autumn ! If & when I know more, I will send out another newsletter. (though I can tell you, that "Gaia Sophia" will be made available soon on iTunes, eMusic, Amazon etc.. For those who prefer other audio formats than Bandcamp can offer)
Also, USR & Entheogenic would like to say a massive thanks to YOU ALL for supporting the music. The new album seems to be pleasing many people from all around the world.. Thanks for all the kind & positive feedback
I Wish you all a great summer.
Kind Regards,
That's encouraging news, I think I'll download it from them then buy the cd when it comes out (fingers crossed). I haven't listened to it yet but very curious the hear the first track of 27mins.
So far it sounds awesome. I will see what a few more plays does.

Get clues, tips and hints from puzzle master Ken Jennings on his blog
George Washington's spies used invisible ink during the Revolution. Abraham Lincoln's young cryptanalysts cracked the Confederacy's "Vicksburg Square" cipher during the Civil War. The United States entered World War I after Britain decoded an encrypted message from the Germans inviting Mexico to wage war on America—the so-called "Zimmermann Telegram." In World War II, the Marines' Navajo "code-talkers" were crucial to victories in the Pacific theater.
Because puzzle-solvers and code breakers have long been heroes of American history, we present the Smithsonian Great American History Puzzle. The puzzle is a month-long contest conceived by the puzzle master and "Jeopardy!" champion Ken Jennings. The first person to correctly follow all the clues, avoid all the red herrings and uncover all the secrets will win the grand prize: a free trip to Washington, D.C. and a "Secrets of the Smithsonian" tour (created by Smithsonian Journeys and valued at $10,000) behind the scenes of the world's largest museum and research complex.

Grill on the go without the fuss, or muss
The EZ Grill is a one-use grill, made entirely from recyclable materials and is entirely recyclable after you're done with dinner. When you open the EZ Grill box, you'll find a foil pan, a stand, a grill grate, and all natural instant charcoal. To get the grill going, you just need to light the corner of the starter sheet--it will burn for about 15 minutes, long enough to get the charcoal going so that you can grill vegetables and meat perfectly. There's no need to add lighter fluid or go through a lengthy process to get the … Read more

I use NFS to share media to computers around my house. Unfortunately one of the machines is on a slow wireless link, is there a way to cache network shares on the local disk for performance?
Stefan led me down the right track. First off, the kernel support needed is only available in the 10.10 kernel and newer. According to Tim Gardner you can get this support in 10.04 by using a backported kernel. Your filesystem will also need extended attribute support. If you're using EXT4 you're fine, if you're using EXT3 you'll need to ensure your filesystem is mounted with the Here's how I set it up on the client machine, you don't need to do anything on the server side.
Configuration of the cache is done in References:
| |||||
I'm not sure if there is any way to do this currently with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. However, the newer versions of the Linux kernel include a feature called FS-Cache & CacheFS, which sounds exactly like what you (and I) want. Also see Local Caching For Network Filesystems. | |||||
It's not exactly an answer to your question, but... The best solution for this kind of stuff that I know is using dropbox. You will need an internet connection to upload the md5 hashes to the dropbox server, but after that files will sync over the LAN. UbuntuOne could be another possibility, but it lacks LAN sync, so changes have to go up using internet and down again. | |||||

Where Should The Spurs Go From Here?
Posted By Yannis Koutroupis On June 18, 2012 @ 4:01 pm In All,Main Page,NBA | No Comments
Most franchises would be more than pleased with finishing 50-16 in the regular season, tied for the best record in the league, and coming just two wins shy of the NBA Finals. The San Antonio Spurs aren't most franchises, though. Championships define success for them, so this past season won't go down as one to remember despite how well they did.
What they will take away from this season more than anything is that they were very close, perhaps closer than they expected to be, to winning it all. That impacts their approach to this offseason dramatically. Had they gone out early again, wholesale changes may have been in store. Now they can go into the offseason much more patient as their needs are not that great.
As we've done with every team who has been eliminated up to this point, we take a look at where the Spurs should go from here.
Management and Coaching
In head coach Gregg Popovich and general manager R.C. Buford the Spurs have stability on the sidelines and in the front office that most teams in the league are envious of. They are two of the best at what they do and they continuously prove that year in and year out. Popovich won the Coach of the Year award this year and Buford has them positioned perfectly with the salary cap.
Assistant coach Mike Budenholzer is being groomed to be Pop's successor when he decides to retire as a head coach and move into the Spurs' front office. So, they're set in both departments for well beyond the foreseeable future.
The Draft
The Golden State Warriors have the Spurs' first round pick this year, so their only selection is at 59. That may not sound like much, but it was with the 58th pick in the 1999 draft that the Spurs landed Manu Ginobili.
It's hard to strike magic like that in that position twice. If any team can do it, though, it's definitely the Spurs, who have set the blueprint for scouting both domestically and internationally.
Their draft history creates the belief that they'll probably go with an international player at 59 who is content to stay overseas for at least a couple of years before coming stateside. At 59 a few quality big men like Alen Omic, Maik Zirbes, Tomislav Zubcic and Joffrey Lauvergne should be available. Greek point guard Kostas Sloukas could also be an intriguing option.
Don't rule out the possibility of the Spurs doing just as they did last year and trading into the first round. If they see someone they want is obtainable they will make the move, likely using DeJuan Blair and future picks as the resources to do so. It would have to be for a ready-to-contribute rookie like Kawhi Leonard, though.
Free Agency
At a time where teams are often handcuffed by and terrified of their star player becoming a free agent, the Spurs have no worries whatsoever about Tim Duncan's impending free agency. Duncan isn't going to entertain offers from any other teams, nor is he going to ask for a deal that is unwarranted at this stage of his career.
Negotiations between the two parties should be as smooth and easy as any in the league's history. What it is all going to come down to is how much longer Duncan wants to commit to. That's on him to decide, and when he does, the Spurs will make sure to compensate him properly financially.
Obviously, Duncan is going to have to accept a serious pay cut. He just completed the final season of a two-year $40 million deal. Even though he seemed to locate the fountain of youth this year, he's still not at the level where the Spurs can justifiably pay him that kind of money.
The $10 million range seems to be the sweet spot for Duncan and the Spurs. It's in line with Duncan's production and it allows the Spurs to also spend their mid-level exception fully without flirting with the luxury tax threshold.
Boris Diaw played well enough during his short stint with the team to be the leading candidate to receive the MLE. Negotiations won't be as simple as Duncan's, though. The Spurs may have some hesitancy to give Diaw all of it. Contract length could be an issue as well. Popovich was very frank on Diaw's conditioning before he was signed. He didn't feel like he's ever been in shape.
However, given Diaw's role in the rotation, it looks like he won Pop over. There will be the standard haggling from both sides, but in the end expect Diaw to stick around. There's not going to be a huge demand for him on the free agent market. While some teams may be willing to offer more money, the entire package that the Spurs' present will be hard to beat. Not only are they a first class organization that always remains competitive, but they also have his longtime friend in Tony Parker recruiting him to stay.
That lowers the chances of Danny Green coming back. Green, one of the most improved players in the league and a starter for most of the year, has a qualifying offer worth $3.5 million that the Spurs should make in hopes of keeping him on the one-year deal. If another team gives him an offer sheet the Spurs are going to have to choose between him or Diaw. With Stephen Jackson, Kawhi Leonard and Manu Ginobili Green is definitely the more expendable of the two. It would be nice if they could find a way to keep Green, but he is definitely replaceable.
Recent reports indicate that Patrick Mills plans to opt out of his current deal and become a free agent. Mills played terrifically in the final stretch of the regular season, but didn't get much of an opportunity during the playoffs. If he's not brought back the Spurs have a long list of veteran options they can consider to replace him, or they could give the opportunity to sophomore guard Cory Joseph.
French guard Nando De Colo, a 2009 second round pick of the Spurs, is reportedly looking to join the team. If that is indeed the case and he's not just using them for leverage for a bigger deal overseas, that's a cheap option that could potentially provide help at both guard positions. The backup shooting guard spot is currently vacant with James Anderson and Gary Neal becoming free agents. Anderson is likely gone since he never stood out or won over the coaching staff. Neal has increased his value, but he should still be in the Spurs' price range considering they have his early bird rights.
Power forward/center Erazem Lorbek, a 2005 second round selection of the Indiana Pacers whose rights the Spurs acquired on draft night last year, is also rumored to be interested in joining the club. Like De Colo, it's too early to tell if that interest is genuine or just a negotiation ploy. Given their limited assets and the demand for De Colo and Lorbek overseas, signing both of them may be unrealistic. The only way that could happen is if Diaw and Green sign elsewhere, but you'd have to imagine the Spurs prioritize re-signing them first and look at Lorbek and De Colo as fallback options. In the most likely scenario, the Spurs may get one of them with their bi-annual exception.
The Amnesty Clause
After trading Richard Jefferson to the Golden State Warriors at the March trading deadline the Spurs do not have any players who are in danger of getting amnestied. The likelihood of it being used anytime in the next few years is highly unlikely since they're set to be way below the salary cap after next season anyway.
Tony Parker ($12.5 million) and Matt Bonner ($3.9 million) are the only ones with guaranteed money on the books in 2013-2014. That's great value for a player of Parker's caliber and while Bonner is the subject of frequent criticism, using the amnesty clause on him would be wasteful and unnecessary.
This year's success gives the Spurs the confidence they needed to keep things intact for another season. Expect the Spurs to come back looking fairly similar in 2012-2013 as they did in 2011-2012. There will be some minor tweaks and improvements, but the major changes won't come until the 2013 offseason when they could have over $30 million to spend in free agency. That's when they'll truly make their transition into the next era.

Three's Company
I'm going to hit on three topics today. First, I'll discuss the move of Manny to the White Sox. I'll then break down why I think there are two full fledged aces with the Phillies though many only see one (Roy Halladay). Finally, I'll play a little game of "Who am I?' with you to see if you can guess which pitcher I'm talking about.
Manny to Be Manny in Chi-Town
Manny Ramirez is an amazing hitter. In fact, he is likely one of the 10 best right-handed hitters that the game has ever seen. Just look at how he stacks up historically amongst righties (minimum 3,000 plate appearances).
4th with 1,120 extra bass hits
8th with 554 home runs
6th with 1,828 RBI
8th with a .411 OBP
5th with a 1.000 OPS
Those are some mighty impressive numbers indeed. He's also been pretty darn effective this season as well, albeit in limited work because he just can't see to get, and then stay, healthy. Still, he is hitting .311 – just two points below his career rate – while his .405 OBP is six a points down. Mere mortals would be enthralled if the back of their baseball card had a season with an .915 OPS, but for Manny that is a disappointing total considering that his OPS has been under .949 only one time since 1995. The guy can still hit, and he should offer the White Sox a tremendous boost as a middle of the order thumper – provided his calf is healthy. If you are in an AL-only league dump whatever remaining FAAB dollars you have to acquire the aloof yet stupendous gifted slugger in his return to the AL.
Cole Hamels is Pitching Very Well
Has anyone noticed just how well Hamels is hurling of late? I kind of doubt it because all anyone seems to see is that pathetic 8-10 win-loss record. Much like Felix Hernandez who is a mere 10-10, Hamels has actually pitched very well this season, particularly as the summer has dragged on. Here is what you should know but may have overlooked.
On the year Hamels has a 3.31 ERA which is better than Francisco Liriano (3.41), Ryan Dempster (3.42) and Yovani Gallardo (3.50) to name a few.
On the year Hamels has a 1.20 WHIP which is better than Zack Greinke (1.21), CC Sabathia (1.23) and David Price (1.26) to name a few.
On the year Hamels has 176 strikeouts which are more than any lefty in baseball not named Clayton Kershaw (180) or Jon Lester (176).
Moreover, Hamels has pitched wonderfully the past month an a half since the All-Star break. Here are his numbers over his nine starts.
If you pitch like that over the course of a season they call you the Cy Young Award winner, so how in the world is he just 1-3 in that time? Man that Phillies offense has been a letdown this season.
Who Am I?
I'm a really good pitcher, but no one seems to notice. Here are some facts to help make clear just how good I've been this year.
I own a 3.39 ERA over 162 innings. It's not really odd that I'm posting such a strong number. After all I have a career mark of 3.62.
I currently have a WHIP of 1.19. Again, it's not at all surprising to me considering that my career mark is the same – 1.19.
I currently have a 3.28 K/BB mark that is 20th best in baseball.
Any idea who I might be?
No, I'm not Francisco Liriano, Ryan Dempster or Johnny Cueto. I'm also not Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt or CC Sabathia. Who am I?
I pitch for the Dodgers.
I've been in the United States for three years.
My name is Hiroki Kuroda.
Will someone please show me some respect?
(Thank you in Japanese)

Wilson's Law – If you save the living environment, the biodiversity that we have left, you will also automatically save the physical environment too. If you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both.
The well-being of human populations is directly dependant on biodiversity. Quite simply, species matter, and now more than ever. Healthy ecosystems are the prerequisite for thriving communities, and as habitats degrade and species disappear, these losses are having a profound effect on humans worldwide.
Even if we put aside all non-utilitarian reasons for saving our natural inheritance, biodiversity and all its individual components are worth saving for the simple reason that our own life depends on them. Ecosystem service, the myriad of ways in which biodiversity turns our planet into a sustainable biosphere, support all life, including our own.
The benefits that ecosystems provide come in several forms.
Can you think of some ecosystem services that species in your backyard might be providing for you right now?
Species are the building blocks of ecosystems and their presence or absence may often show how healthy an ecosystem is, and can be an early warning of problems that lie ahead. Amphibians, for instance, in addition to being of great value in biomedical sciences, are highly sensitive to pollutants and thus good indicators of the ecosystem disturbance.
More importantly, as species disappear, so does the genetic information contained in their DNA. Once a species is gone, we will never know what potential cures, new crops, or technological advanced might have been discovered with its help. Tragically, many species become extinct even before mankind has the chance to realize their existence, and who knows what value they may have held?
In the United States alone over 50 percent of all prescribed medicine is linked to natural sources, and in developing nations the demand for natural remedies is even greater. The destruction of ecosystems such as the world's rainforests is having a dramatic effect on medical resources provided by nature. It is important to conserve not only species that have already been found, but also to strive to uncover those that are yet unknown to science. These discoveries are helping humans to learn about a species' role within the ecosystem it inhabits and to more fully understand their importance and the irreplaceable functions they provide.
Humans transform the world more deeply and in more ways than any other organism past or present. Our actions alter entire ecosystems and every living thing within them. Sometimes these changes affect our own lives in the most unexpected ways. Examples are many, but the loss of thousands of human lives during the recent tsunami in southest Asia could have been easily prevented by maintaining the seemingly worthless mangrove vegetation along the coast of Sri Lanka and Thailand.
Ecosystems are incredibly complex, finely tuned living machineries. It is therefore of the utmost importance that we keep in mind the words of the great ecologist Aldo Leopold: "To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering." Each species, no matter how seemingly small and insignificant, can be the critical cog, or the keystone species, on which the survival of the entire ecosystem depends.
The more we know about these individual components of the living machinery of Earth, the greater chances we have to avoid inflicting irreparable damages that will affect our and all future generations.

Robert Bobb hints he may want to stay on as Detroit Schools EFM
Detroit schools emergency financial manager Robert Bobb says he's willing to consider staying on the job beyond June in the wake of Michigan's new financial oversight law. Robert Bobb told the Detroit News editorial page that he's "not lobbying for the job." But he says the "pace of change" possible under the new law is appealing.
Bobb was hired in 2009 by then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm to fix the district's finances. His latest contract was extended through June by Gov. Rick Snyder, who signed a law giving Bobb and other emergency financial managers the right to oversee not just a school district's finances but also its academics.
Snyder's office says if Bobb is interested in staying he would be among the candidates considered.

New Research from the Burgess Shale: Thorny worms that swarmed in the Cambrian seas
Posted: July 31, 2013 - 10:35 , by Jean-Bernard Caron
Hallucigenia sparsa is no ordinary animal. This poster child of the Burgess Shale biota is the ultimate weirdo!
My journey with Sir David Attenborough
Posted: January 21, 2013 - 10:00 , by Jean-Bernard Caron
Sir David Attenborough has been filming Nature all his life. In 2009, at the age of 83, he traveled the world again to discover how Life began and diversified into the myriad of organisms that form the basis of today's biodiversity. The result of this journey is the beautiful documentary, "First Life," that won three Emmy Awards in 2011. The new ROM Gallery of Early Life anticipated to open by the end of 2014 will feature some of the key fossils shown in the documentary, many of those will come from our own ROM collections!
The origin of animals represents a turning point in Life history. About half a billion years ago all the major animal groups that are still around us today appear in the fossil record. One of the best sites in the world to study this key interval in Life history is the 505 million year old Burgess Shale in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. As an expert of the Burgess Shale biota, I was invited to accompany Sir David Attenborough to the field. Here are few snapshots from the Burgess Shale I took during this specific trip.

Collofello an Aztec king; USF junior tops Guinness record
By Tina Akouris firstname.lastname@example.com November 30, 2012 8:06PM
Brandon Collofello acknoledges the crowd after setting a new world record with 31 Aztec pushups in under a minute at the University of St. Francis, Wednesday, November 18th, 2012 in Joliet, IL | Gary Middendorf~for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: January 3, 2013 6:21AM
University of St. Francis junior Brandon Collofello didn't think he was in trouble when Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow walked into the Pat Sullivan Recreation Center on Wednesday night.
In fact, it was quite the opposite.
Collofello did 31 Aztec push-ups in one minute during halftime of the Saints' men's basketball game against Purdue-Calumet in a near-packed house at Sullivan Recreation Center. Glasgow, whose son attends St. Francis, was there as a witness to the event for Guinness World Records.
"At first I tried to count, and then I lost count," Collofello said. "I figured if I got past 20 that was the bare minimum and I had to do at least 20 to set the record. Anything past that was a bonus."
The world record is 20. Collofello needs to send some type of documentation of his feat to Guinness World Records in order for it to be considered as a world record.
Collofello, a biology/pre-med major, said Guinness representatives told him they need video of him doing the push-ups from two different angles, media clippings produced after the event, and witnesses — one of which has to be a public notary and another of which was Glasgow — all to prove that the record attempt actually happened.
"(Glasgow) heard about it and volunteered to help," Collofello said. "His son told him about it and he offered his time."
An "Aztec push-up" isn't an average push-up. The person doing the push-up lowers himself to the floor, then propels himself into the air, touching his hands to his feet from a pike position before landing at the top of a push-up position.
Collofello actually spun a negative into a positive when he started learning Aztec push-ups. He used to play football for the Saints but two knee injuries his freshman year curtailed Collofello's athletic career. Looking for new, challenging workouts, he stumbled upon the push-ups while watching a video about them.
"I first saw the push-ups online and thought it was really cool," Collofello said. "I looked to see if there was any record and I put together a proposal to make the most of them in one minute."
But Collofello, a Minooka native, needed a hook, too.
He was also doing the push-ups to raise money for Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), a nonprofit Christian organization that tries to feed malnourished children around the world. FMSC provides these children with dehydrated meals.
With the funds raised from the push-up event, student leaders at USF are hoping to host a FMSC event on campus on April 6 that will assemble and pack 100,000 of the dehydrated meals.
Collofello's goal was to raise $3,000 for the FMSC event in April. He said he's fairly certain he achieved that goal through pledges and donations made at the game.
"We have to raise $22,000 to buy the raw ingredients and then pack 100,000 meals (at the April event)," Collofello said. "We still have to collect some of the pledges, but we do have more than $3,000."

Emerald Rose
Online Reservations
We enjoyed Easter brunch/lunch. We had the Easter Specials. Good food and wonderful service. For dessert I enjoyed a great Irish Coffee.
It's easy to overlook the Emerald Road. It's too easy to miss just tucked away in plain sight, right on Boston Road yet facing away from the main street (Rt 3A.) it helps to know the area or have a good GPS. If you just want an Irish Bar, go to the Emerald Rose Pub. Same menu, more pub. The staff, hostess and chef's are warm, friendly and remarkably welcoming. The food is above average and the Emerald Rose is distinguished by an outstanding wine and beer list with more than 16 beers on tap. Appetizers are excellent and portions are generous. Highly recommended for couples, families or folks looking for a fun night out. Read the posters and decorations and prepare for a great time and great food.
...in fact I went back with a colleague for lunch today!
Our department hit a great business milestone. As a result we 13 in the department went to The Emerald Rose for lunch and sat outside under the awning. The seared salmon was phenomenal, all the meals came at a reasonable time and together. The waitresses were so caring and personable but not overbearing - perfect! I have been to a lot of restaurants for lunch, dinner and business. THIS was exceptional. I highly recomend it.
Our waitress, April, was very attentive without being overbearing.
This was a great surprise and we both enjoyed the food so much the first time, we've been back twice. (I've been back 3 times for lunch with the girls!) The beer-battered haddock was AMAZING. It was so good, I got it as a take-out lunch the next day. I also had a wonderful steak and mashed potatoes. My husband loved the chicken 'special' with asparagus in a cherry sauce - innovative and unusual without being silly. We have since had burgers and bar snacks with friends several times and everyone praises the food. This is not a place to go for ambiance or to impress, but the food is excellent and the staff is friendly and everyone - friends, grandparents, kids - all seem comfortable there. Try it, you'll be glad you did.
Great menu and friendly staff always make our visits a pleasure. Summer is here and patio dining in the nice weather is great as well.
Third time at Emerald Rose and it was great. We sat outside since inside seemed a little warm and stuffy. Although there's no view other than the parking lot from the patio, it felt great to sit outside. He ordered the scallops and just kept going on and on as to how great they were. The best he's ever had and he orders them at high end and family restaurants. My mixed grilled of steak tips and chicken was very tasty but just a little over done on the chicken. Drinks were fine and service good. No complaints. And the price is so reasonable. Try it for a casual night out of good food.
Very good food and service. The weather was nice so we enjoyed the patio. Will be back.
My husband and I are frequent diners at Emerald Rose, generally in the dining room rather than the pub. On Father's Day we ate in the pub with the same menu. Other than having the air conditioning colder than I would have liked, the food was good and the service attentive.
First time eating Bangers and Mash, it wasn't bad at all. Went well with Sam Adams summer ale.
We chose to sit outside. Out of sight, out of mind! It took two waitresses asking us if we were 'all set' to get served. Once a waitress started with us, it took a bit to get her back. People sat down at the table beside us and after a while, asked us who our waitress was because they did not see anyone after they sat. Everything else was great!
Came tonight specifically for their fish and chips. However, Prime Rib was their special of the night at $14.95. Totally awesome with very little fat. 16 ounces of delight. My husband always gets the meatloaf which is to die for. Service is always great and staff are delightful.
We had family in from out of town and we chose to go here because it's close by and we love the food. The staff are always friendly and take good care of us. We had a large party and made a reservation ahead of time so there was no wait. Great!!!
Had several family in town and wanted a place with good food that was also kid-friendly, and The Emerald Rose delivered. A few hours before our reservation, someone called to ask if the children I noted in the comments needed high chairs. We were a bit late due to traffic,but that table was still waiting when we arrived. We ordered drinks and waited about 20 minutes for the final member of our party to arrive. The waitress got us drinks and never pressured us to order before the entire party was seated. The food was very good, Salmon and Turkey dinners in particular. The Rose is very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food that you get. I've been here many times before and will return again based on our experience.
Food was good, prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly. Would definitely go again.
I made my reservations through OpenTable. When I arrived, they said they need two minutes. If I didn't step forward, I think they would have forgotten about us. Once we sat, the waitress was very personable and attentive. The food was great and the martini's were as well. I will definitely go there again.
My husband and I went to Ireland for our honeymoon and wanted something fun for an low key anniversary celebration. This was perfect. The food was delicious and the beers were exactly the Irish variety we wanted to enjoy. We were impressed with the rest of the drink menu, including the variety of Irish whiskeys and scotches. Besides the food being excellent, the service was superb. Our waitress was fantastic, attentive and friendly and did not make us feel rushed at all. We're looking forward to sharing this great restaurant with friends.
Great spot! Our server was attentive, very pleasant and patient. I tried the mac 'n cheese with bacon and tomatoes. Delicious! I asked for and was given a sample of the Pumpkin Ale - the bartender even put the sugar rim on my sample glass. It was delicious, so I had a couple! My friend had the Thanksgiving dinner. I tried the stuffing and it was quite good. We finished our meal with Winter Warmers - hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps for me. A delightful evening. We'll go back for sure.
excellent service, good attention to detail, everyone was served at once. arrival of courses very timely. only one send- back for cool potatoes on the bangers and mash. have recommended many times and will many times more.
A very nice, comfortable place with good food and service . . . but oh, the noise. I will return, though. I dined inside but the outdoor accomodations looked great.
Whenever we visit the old neighborhood, we try to get grandma out for a nice hot meal while we visit. It is her favorite go to place. This place has been our family favorite for years now. It has been a tradition to come for a great meal and combine that with a nice long visit with grandma at the same time! Foods always great, drinks are good too. You should try it soon!
Our waitress Leah was very attentive and friendly. Great service on a busy Saturday night at the restaurant.
Service was great - food was great - live band was great. We'll be going back again for sure. Had the bangers and mash - best mashed potatoes I've ever had.
I was amazed with the responsiveness and care the staff took with every aspect of my stay. I was attending for a conference and having two night stay. The events coordinator was sensitive to our every need, even allowed us to set up 90 minutes early and delivered meals to individuals with gluten sensitivities. The front desk stored bags, would not take a tip, always responded with a smile and a great attitude, and were always available. I would recommend this hotel to groups and look forward to my next stay.
The Thanksgiving dinner was delicious . Wait Staff were really great.

Homemade Fritos!
Yes Virginia, you can make your own fritos-type corn chips. Do they taste exactly like fritos? No. Are they super easy? I think so. Can I feel good about consuming all of the ingredients in homemade fritos? YES! One of the things we try to stay away from is corn or any corn derivative in food products because it's most likely a GMO. I know the GMO debate is a touchy subject, but we try to avoid it in my house. That means that items we would normally just buy (like Fritos) I try not to because of the potential of the GMO corn.
These were fairly simple to make, they make a good corn-y tasting chip and they take 4 ingredients. I made them today and used them in frito pie for our lunch. now, sometimes when I make frito pie 2 things happen: 1) it can seem really salty because of the commercial fritos and 2) the fritos seem to dissapear into a soggy mass of congealed chips. Some people may like that, and more power to ya, but I don't.
Like I siad, I used these today and they not only kept their shape, they also added a delightful polenta type flavor to the dish. It was good and my kids LOVED it.
You may not want to make these every time you want to snack on a chip, but they would be good for dipping guacamole, salsa or bean dip for something fairly healthy and special.
I found the recipe here, but I changed the directions to suit me a little better.
Homemade Fritos
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon oil
Put the cornmeal and salt into a bowl; pour the boiling water over the cornmeal. Stir really well and add the oil. Stir to combine. At this point, I felt like the dough was a little too thin, so I added some more cornmeal, a teaspoon at a time, until I had a fairly stiff dough. I lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper and put the dough on that. Then, I put a piece of wax paper on top of the dough so I could roll it without the doough sticking to my rolling pin. I rolled it out to about 1/8 inch thick, then I cut it into frito shaped pieces. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Yes, it takes some effort. No, they don't taste exactly like a frito.
I think they taste better, like actual corn, but that's just me. You'll have to make them and see for yourself! :)

Just made these for Cinco de Mayo Frito Pies. In an effort to make them taste more "southwest " added garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and cumin. Also a twist of lime. Man they taste a lot like Fritos now! Very good, thanks for giving me something fun to do with all this cornmeal I've got laying around!

I'm a salty kind of girl so I'm always looking for DIY snacks and these look so yummy! I can't wait to make them myself!

GSDLuverForever | Thanks! I can't wait to get started! I'll look up them up on Youtube and check out some books. The song I'm using is 'This Is War' by Thirty Seconds to Mars. Since she is a German Shepherd and all. I like the song and I thought of some really good moves for it. The problem is that Keeli has her moments where she decides she'll be stubborn... lol. |

Absolutely you can do it with an older dog, and it's a whole lot of fun! Heelwork to music (HTM) is one of the two main branches of canine freestyle; if you do a search on "canine freestyle" or "canine musical freestyle" you should be able to find some good youtubes to get you started. Pamela Marxsen and Emily Larlham (kikopup) have a lot of good tutorials available for free. Mary Ray's book "Dancing With Dogs" has some good stuff too, as does Kyra Sundance's "101 Dog Tricks." One of the great things about canine freestyle is that it's easily adaptable to older or physically disabled dogs. Just choose the moves your dog can do comfortably. |
GSDLuverForever |
Heelwork With Music? I have an 8 year old, female GSD named Keeli. She loves to learn and I've always wanted to do heelwork with her. I had a really good idea for one but I wanted to know if it was possible to train her to do heelwork with music? I am not going to do competitions with her, just something to entertain my friends and family. I don't want to do fancy moves like flips off of the people or anything since she is old, just simple moves like walk backwards, tilt head from side to side, things like that. Is it possible to train an 8 year old German Shepherd how to do this? Like I said, she loves to learn! |

Is ethanol the answer for what ails our energy economy? Or could the ethanol boom destabilize grain markets, and even governments? In a report issued today, the Washington-based Earth Policy Institute says a rapid rise in the demand for corn - the current crop of choice for ethanol production - could stir up global economic chaos, and soon.
A handful of corn is shown before it is processed at the Tall Corn Ethanol plant in Coon Rapids, Iowa. |
"If there are enough urban food riots in the world, it would create a very difficult situation with potentially a lot of instability, and perhaps on a scale that could disrupt global economic progress. ... We're not talking about something five or 10 or 15 years down the road, we're talking about something that might happen in a year or two," Lester Brown, the institute's president and a longtime environmental campaigner, told me today.
The source of Brown's concern is the sharply increasing investment in ethanol production facilities. Some energy industry analysts see fuel-quality grain alcohol - distilled primarily from corn - as one of the best alternatives to foreign oil. Last year, President Bush's Advanced Energy Initiative gave a multimillion-dollar boost to ethanol production.
That buzz over ethanol has really taken hold, and everyone agrees that corn prices will rise as a result. In fact, that's happening already. But how high will those prices go?
Almost a year ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated that the nation's ethanol distilleries would require 60 million tons of corn from the 2008 harvest. The Earth Policy Institute factored in the additional investment in facilities since then, and came up with a figure of 139 million tons - more than twice as much. That includes:
The institute's report notes that the increased demand for corn will affect not only prices for that commodity, but for other crops as well. Rapidly rising prices for grain could spark trouble abroad, it says:
"The competition for grain between the world's 800 million motorists who want to maintain their mobility and its 2 billion poorest people who are simply trying to survive is emerging as an epic issue. Soaring food prices could lead to urban food riots in scores of lower-income countries that rely on grain imports, such as Indonesia, Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria and Mexico. The resulting political instability could in turn disrupt global economic progress, directly affecting all countries. It is not only food prices that are at stake, but trends in the Nikkei Index and the Dow Jones 500 as well."
How bad could things really get? Is the report too alarmist? Well, the Agriculture Department's chief economist shares Brown's concerns - up to a point.
During a Senate hearing in September, chief economist Keith Collins told lawmakers that the ethanol boom is indeed exceeding the department's long-term projections. To keep markets stable, America's farmers will have to produce more corn, and other exporters will have to raise their output as well, Collins said.
"The corn sector will be highly vulnerable to market disruptions - ethanol plants and other users will be operating in a much riskier environment than we have today," he said.
But Collins is more confident that the market will be able to sort things out. Today he told The Associated Press that the Earth Policy Institute was making "a valid point," but took issue with its estimate of future demand. "That strikes me as high," he was quoted as saying.
If corn prices rise, the euphoria over ethanol would likely settle down, and some of the distilleries currently being planned may never be built. Congress could also conceivably adjust the current ethanol subsidy to fine-tune the economics.
Whether or not an ethanol apocalypse is looming, Brown said the U.S. government and the industry needed to develop a much more precise picture of the ethanol energy market.
"The reality is that whether it's farmers or ethanol investors, or food processors or feeders, people have been making decisions in financial terms based on a misleading sense of what the corn market is going to look like," he told me.
The report calls for a "moratorium on the licensing of new distilleries, a time-out, while we catch our breath and decide how much corn can be used for ethanol without dramatically raising food prices." That kind of industrial policy may not fly in the current political environment, but several other recommendations from the report provide additional food for thought:
What do you think? How do you separate the wheat from the chaff (or the corn from the stalks) in the energy debate? Feel free to add your comments below.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Our next guest was a national co chairman of Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign he delivered one of the speeches in fact nominating him.
-- president.
I am honored to second the nomination of the man whose victory tonight.
Takes us closer to becoming.
What we know America can be ladies and gentlemen.
A place -- who you are now.
A place where where you come from.
A place.
Where all of the things that may hold you back.
Pose no permanent barriers.
Former democratic congressman from the state of Alabama has since changed his party affiliation.
And offered a rousing defense of governor Romney at the Republican Convention last week joining us now is doctor Davis.
Under great to have you with this I I don't -- and -- -- I read jury -- Article on the president's speech -- wanna start by congratulating you on what I think is the most insightful -- Well if -- -- critique of the president last night.
And like you I thought it was a stirring stem winder brilliantly about.
Well there was a stirring speech but two things about Bill Clinton speech last night.
All 49 minutes of it and you never heard the formulation of the phrase -- -- Obama has succeed it.
Now let's think about that she got a president running for reelection.
When's the last time a president's run for reelection.
And his biggest booster can't bring himself to say.
And he hit forty -- 49 minutes to say at.
That my guys succeed it.
Point number 21 of the major points the President Clinton may last night is something we hear from a democratic.
France all the time.
That old did Mitch McConnell promise to block his reelection something every one -- audience of appreciate when Mitch McConnell made that pledge.
He had forty votes in the US senate not even enough to sustain a filibuster.
Even when he got a 41 vote.
He wasn't able to block -- single Obama initiative.
For two years President Obama got everything he -- on the economic front.
From the congress and that same Mitch McConnell actually cut a deal with them.
That avoid at the expiration of the bush tax cuts at the end of 2010.
Which would have almost certainly push the economy back into recession.
Have those tax cuts all expire.
So this notion that Republican obstruction.
Has a never work with the president is false and the notion that it's prevented him from getting anything done.
This just factually false but of course President Clinton made in a very powerful -- last -- happens not to be true.
It and a number of the facts that.
So call that the former president views.
Or were let's -- this rules this right.
-- highly challenger -- and we will do so here this evening on this broadcast.
But you point out that this -- been the most relentlessly ideological.
Administration the Obama administration.
What what do you mean specifically.
I'll be 45 years old and a few weeks.
This in my 45 years is the most ideological presidency that I have seen.
Ronald Reagan was a conservative but he regularly found a way to appeal to Democrats and to win democratic support in congress.
Bill Clinton was a progressive Democrat in many ways.
But he found ways to regulate appeal to Republicans.
Both President Bush's regularly found a way is strictly at the beginning of their terms to reach out to the other side.
That's been the political -- -- Well you'd almost think that the separation of powers was something that have been invented four years ago to -- Barack Obama.
The reality is Bob Woodward points out of his book that's coming out a few weights.
Presidents have always faced difficult challenges of hyper partisanship.
The successful ones have found a way to overcome it.
And it's fair to judge a president who promised he turned the page.
And move us past partisan gridlock when you ran on that fame it's fair to judge -- when you were not able to reverse the gridlock.
How important is president Obama's speech tonight to his reelection effort.
I'm not convinced candidly that any thing that's happened -- these two weeks is terribly important by that I mean Charlotte and Tampa.
The American people -- present Obama's a fantastic speaker.
But no the Bill Clinton's a fantastic speaker not sure this stuff with them past 11 o'clock last night.
But they know those has -- great speakers if these elections were simply about oratory we -- close -- the contest right now.
But these elections are going to be about results.
A lot of us put a lot of faith in President Obama for years ago because of his oratory.
And we've learned a lesson that sometimes words don't translate into results so I think the American people are going to just as president based results as they -- Congressman -- -- good to have you with us thanks from thank you -- a strong supporter of an advisor to govern Iraq.

SOLON– Solon's varsity baseball team picked up its first two losses of the season last Friday hosting No. 9 Davenport Assumption. The Spartan bats hit a quiet spell, and that was enough to drop both ends of a home doubleheader, 1-4 and 4-6. Marshall Koehn went 2-4 in the first game, during which Solon was limited to six hits. Nick Day contributed the lone RBI. Ryan Butler pitched well, striking out seven batters over six innings, but picked up his first loss of the season taking his record to 4-1.
SOLON– The Lady Spartans are starting to look a lot like their counterparts on the next field. Mel Breza, Kara Misel and Casey Musgrave hit home runs (Musgrave's first, see story below) for the Solon varsity softball squad last week. The Lady Spartans moved to 22-7 on the season and 13-2 in the WaMaC East, going 5-1 against No. 8 West Delaware, Vinton-Shellsburg, Mid-Prairie and No. 6 Keokuk. Solon is sixth in the Class 3A rankings released June 24 by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
NORTH LIBERTY– North Liberty Food Pantry Executive Director Tina DuBois is concerned the pantry's inventory could be pared down considerably, if federal legislators continue to trim agriculture-related appropriations spending.
OXFORD — There could be a major changing of the guard as four of seven seats of the Board of Directors for the Clear Creek Amana School District are up for election this September. Board president Tim Hennes (Oxford), Betsy Momany (Amana) and Kathi Huebner (at-large) are seeking re-election. Kevin Kinney has decided not to run again.
NORTH LIBERTY– The City of North Liberty now has an attorney on staff. He's a familiar face; Scott C. Peterson has served as North Liberty's City Attorney since August 2006. Until now, Peterson has been a contractual employee. It is a common practice, particularly in smaller cities, to obtain certain services through contractual agreements, including those of an attorney, an engineer, and even law enforcement officers. In North Liberty's case, said City Administrator Ryan Heiar, it was a good idea, as well as a cost savings, to bring Peterson on as a regular staff person
NORTH LIBERTY– The North Liberty Community Food and Clothing Pantry, in collaboration with HACAP (Hawkeye Area Community Action Program) Food Reservoir and other area food pantries, are hosting a public forum, "Focus on Hunger," on July 21 from 12 to 2 p.m. at North Liberty First United Methodist Church, 85 N. Jones Blvd., North Liberty. The public forum will include guest speakers and representatives of area agencies speaking on topics such as hunger in Iowa, the impact of commodities programs on hunger, and the difficulties of making up for lost commodities funding.
NORTH LIBERTY– The Iowa Donor Network will host a blood drive on behalf of the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center Wednesday, July 6, from 12-3 p.m. To donate, contact Nadine McNeal at 665-3787 x145.

A cultural resource for Iowans since 1971, Humanities Iowa offers many cultural and historical programs and grants to Iowa's communities.
NORTH LIBERTY– The North Liberty Community Pantry will be conducting a Thanksgiving in July community-wide food drive. The North Liberty Community Pantry has seen a 25 percent increase in visits this year. Those who rely on emergency food assistance are often families with children, disabled, elderly and the working poor. Many families are one unexpected car repair or medical bill away from needing food assistance. Food and fuel costs continue to rise and community needs have increased.
TIFFIN– TiffinFest 2011 will be held Friday, July 8, from 6 p.m.-12 a.m. and Saturday, July 9, from 7 a.m.-12 a.m. at Tiffin City Park.

New Hibachi Super Buffet is super
Saturday, September 22nd, 2012Grand opening going on right now at the Hibachi Super Buffet at 4629 E. Speedway (NW corner of Swan). They opened a month ago and feature eleven buffet kiosks/areas to choose from.
So being as I like Japanese/Chinese food I tried it out yesterday and was impressed with the large number of delicious-looking and tasting choices, too many to select from. I started out with one each of the 11 choices of nigiri sushi (including California roll, tamago (egg), inari, crab/avocado, etc.) with some vegetable tempura also on the side.
Then I started tackling the salad choices, vegetables & main dishes (mostly Chinese chicken ones, like kung pao, soy sauce, orange), grilled selections like grilled mackerel, shrimp on a skewer, other seafood delicacies such stuffed crab shells, mushrooms, scallops. I didn't even get to the hot sukiyaki selection in which you choose beef, vegetables, noodles and have the cook saute and grill it all up in front of you, with your choice of one of 3 dressings: lo mein, teriyaki, or soy sauce.
There are also buffets kiosks with soup (5 choices), fruits, puddings, desserts (7 pastries), ice cream (8 choices). Some of these had no labels so I wasn't sure what they all were, but it was fun sampling some of them.
As I mentioned before there was just too much to eat and savor. I barely had room for dessert but I also had to try the sesame seed ball dumplings (with azuki beans) which was very soft & yummy, just what the way I like it.
I tend to judge an Asian restaurant by the food selections of course, but also what type of soy sauce they have on the table and in Hibachi's case, it was just fine as they had my favorite Japanese Kikkoman Shoyu on the table. And of course they had optional chopsticks for us Asians, and Chinese fortune cookies when you paid your bill.
At lunch I happened to meet two friends, Japanese American Junko with 3 other Japanese women friends. Junko enjoyed her meal and said it was the third time she had eaten there since they opened a month ago. Then I ran into Patsy, a local born Chinese American who said it was her first time there and she was pleased with the variety of food, especially since they offered Japanese, Chinese & Korean (kim chee).
The restaurant itself is very spacious, with Chinese and Japanese decorations/art work on the walls, and a large water fountain with koi fish in the foyer, complete with a neon green/red flowering "sakura" tree and two palms.
Hibachi's Super Buffet hours:
Monday to Thursday & Sunday 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Friday & Saturday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Lunch buffet costs $6.99 for adults,
$2.99 for children (3 to 6 years), $3.99 (7 to 10 years)
Dinner buffet costs $9.99,
children $3.99 (3 to 6 years), $5.49 (7 to 10 years)
Take out buffets are also available
Phone: 520-326-0000
If you just want to order off the menu, there is a large selection of Chinese dishes as well.
Discounts available online at www.hibachitucson.com for Senior Citizens over 60 years, Students, and for their grand opening. I noticed coupons in the Tucson Weekly and AZ Daily Star's Caliente as well, for 20 to 30% off.
Lastly, what does "hibachi" mean? It is a type of charcoal-burning Japanese brazier (usually a low outdoor metal one with a grill) and we in Hawaii even use the word as a verb. For example, we say we are going to "hibachi" the meat or chicken on the Hibachi grill outdoors.
Don't miss the grand opening of this new, super buffet in town, probably the largest in Tucson.

The Nazareth College Honors Program gives those students seeking extraordinary academic achievements the chance to enrich their educational experience through additional courses, interdisciplinary seminars and professional lectures, among other opportunities. Over the course of their time at Nazareth, honors students develop their intellectual prowess to the highest potential, culminating in a senior thesis and special recognition at graduation.
"The joy of our work in this program is the faculty's ability to watch bright students explore new knowledge, make new connections, and thrive in challenging, interdisciplinary environments, both in the classroom and outside of it. Our greatest pleasure is to see the developing self-confidence, affirmation, and also the genuine humility with which these young scholars learn about the world of ideas, but most importantly, about themselves as learners and seekers in that world and in their everyday lives."

From Brisbane to points South
Still on Lord Howe Island
November 23, 2008
Sunday 23 nov: Drama yesterday. A thunderstorm developed over the north mountains in the afternoon and grew and blew and crashed and flashed and rained and then suddenly blasted us. For about a quarter of an hour everything howled and shrieked, water was blown off the surface of one meter high waves, (this in the lagoon, remember) and visibility was down to a few meters. Ready to start the engine if the mooring broke, but it held, although our two ropes were tight as wires. We held on tight too. Gradually things returned to sanity and no damage to Sea Eagle, her rigging, or us, but the wind generator had lost two of its three blades and was hanging from its cable. The book said that it was designed for 100 miles per hour. Ah well. (see picture)Later on, after a period of merely strong winds, during which John went for a snorkellswim to find blades and found the remains of the tailfin, conditions slowly deteriorated during the evening with the approach of a cold front, with lightning in the clouds all over the western sky. The wind gusted to at least 52 knots on the instrument, when we spared it a glance, the effects of local whirling spirals of wind and spray. Most dramatic. And wet. And noisy! The front withdrew gradually eastward and things calmed down enough by midnight to let us sleep. This morning we woke to brilliant sunshine, little wind, rolly swell and apparent all benign again.

In Brief
- Mistakes can push scientific understanding forward. Errors that touch on deep features of the world can be more valuable in the long run than narrowly correct ideas.
- Famously important scientific mistakes include Niels Bohr's atomic model, the theory of continental drift (in its original form) and the experiments of Enrico Fermi that led to nuclear fission.
- Two less well-known errors also stand out: a vagabond physicist devised a faster-than-light telegraph in the 1980s. The hunt to uncover its flaws drove advances in quantum information theory.
- In the 1940s Max Delbrück, the key founder of molecular biology, based his research on a number of incorrect and misleading assumptions. He would go on to win a Nobel Prize.
More In This Article
Perhaps more than any other profession, science places a premium on being correct. Of course, most scientists—like most living humans—make plenty of mistakes along the way. Yet not all errors are created equal. Historians have unearthed a number of instances in which an incorrect idea proved far more potent than thousands of others that were trivially mistaken or narrowly correct. These are the productive mistakes: errors that touch on deep, fundamental features of the world around us and prompt further research that leads to major breakthroughs. Mistakes they certainly are. But science would be far worse off without them.
Niels Bohr, for example, created a model of the atom that was wrong in nearly every way, yet it inspired the quantum-mechanical revolution. In the face of enormous skepticism, Alfred Wegener argued that centrifugal forces make the continents move (or "drift") along the surface of the earth. He had the right phenomenon, albeit the wrong mechanism. And Enrico Fermi thought that he had created nuclei heavier than uranium, rather than (as we now know) having stumbled on nuclear fission.

we can end that line of discussion now - i probably shouldnt have asked the question anyway. it just... hurts. For the hell of it, can you post that original title OS's dont like booting from USB very much. its got latency issues and a maxmimum speed of 30MB/s. not to mention that moving USB ports can change drive letters, so the OS may not like being used on a different port.
If a labeled press-release, with its obvious marketing hyperbole on a tech website can trip some people out so bad, I'm glad I'm so far away. Please discuss on the product the release wants to talk about.
And here comes the start of the "Compatible with Windows 7" tags...:shadedshu Not bad sizes...I'm sure the price will be somewhat ridiculous.
supports readyboost haha, from what i saw in a review readyboost only makes a difference when you have 2gb of ram or less, and even then it was just 4gb and 2gb drives that showed notable improvement. 64gb of readyboost , and what isn't compatible with windows 7? interested in the price though.
