Ballantine Championship Blend Whisky
Plenty of golfers have a wine brand but not many get their own whisky. Golfer Graeme McDowell, the winner of the inaugural Ballantine's Championship golf tournament last year has had the honor of being the first golfer to participate in the Ballantine's blending process. He worked with Sandy Hyslop, Ballantine's fifth Master Blender to create the 2009 Ballantine's Championship Blend. The unique blend includes two very old grain whiskies from Strathclyde and Dumbarton and although the label says that the blend is a 35-year-old scotch it contains older whiskies. There are just 15 bottles of the blend: one bottle will go to the winner of this year's Ballantine's Championship, one will be presented to Graeme McDowell and one will be auctioned at the tournament's Opening Ceremony. The 2009 Ballantine's Championship takes place in at the Pinx Golf Club in Jeju, South Korea later this month.

Madonna hasn't given up on her efforts to build a school for girls in Malawi, Africa. The star's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, tells UsMagazine.com that the rumors about her philanthropy falling apart are "wild and totally false."
"As we have said previously, Raising Malawi is currently undergoing a series of positive changes in an effort to serve more children," says Rosenberg. "Neither Madonna nor Raising Malawi is being investigated by the FBI or the IRS."
In March, Phillippe van de Bossche, , the school's executive director at the time, was accused of using the organization's funds for expenses including a car and driver and a gold club membership. The charity's co-founder, Michael Berg, said, "A thoughtful decision has been made to discontinue plans for the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, as it was originally conceived," and an interim board replaced the school's leadership.
"It is unfortunate that people have chosen to say things about Raising Malawi and Madonna that are not true," Rosenberg adds. "Madonna remains committed and focused on what matters: helping the children of Malawi."
Madonna, 52, has a 14-year-old daughter, Lourdes, with ex-boyfriend Carlos Leon, and a 9-year-old son, Rocco, with ex-husband Guy Ritchie. She also adopted two children -- Mercy Jones, 6, and David, 4 -- from Malawi.
She said in a statement on March 24, "There is a real education crisis in Malawi. Sixty-seven percent of girls don't go to secondary school, and this is simply unacceptable. Our team is going to work hard to address this in every way we can. While I'm proud of [other] accomplishments, I'm frustrated that our education work has not moved forward in a faster way."

Following in the footsteps of the original Vibram FiveFingers Bikila, the new Bikila LS offers a closed speed lace system to accommodate a wider foot or higher instep. It shares the same revolutionary platform as the Bikila, featuring a Dri-Lex covered 3mm polyurethane insole (thickest under the ball) and a 4mm anatomical pod outsole design. This combination provides superior plating protection and distributes forefoot impact without compromising essential ground feedback. The Bikila LS' upper is constructed of Coconut Active Carbon for natural breathability.
An athletic padded collar and topline, 3M reflective surfaces, and abrasion resistant PU toe protection add to Bikila LS' road worthy design. The defining feature of the Bikila LS' is its closed quick lace system assuring a custom fit for a wider range of foot types.

What size is right for you:
Foot shapes and sizes vary greatly. FiveFingers do provide some fit adjustment, but may not fit every foot type. To achieve the best fitting results for the particular style you are interested in, we recommend you follow the sizing chart and instructions here.
Fitting Tips for FiveFingers Minimalist Barefoot Shoes:
Bikila LS
With the lacing system completely loosened, insert your foot while gradually aligning each toe with the appropriate toe pocket" it's often best to start with your big toe and work down to the little toe, gradually inching forward as each toe finds its place. Check to make sure one toe is in each pocket.
AFTER each toe is in place, pull up the heel cup and nestle your own heel into the FiveFingers heel cup. It's important to get your heel firmly seated in the heel cup.
Slide the toggle down to the base of the laces until you have found your ideal fit.
Use the hook and loop fasteners at the end of the laces and affix them to the instep of the shoe.
Vibram FiveFingers® minimalist sneakers and footwear combine innovative design, precision engineering and meticulous manufacturing. We've used only premium quality materials and the proven technology of Vibram® soles to create alternative footwear designed to enhance your performance.

What happens when two great predators come face to face in Yellowstone? The grizzly and the wolf -- they couldn't be more different. The bear is a loner, ranging far and wide in search of a rich variety of resources. The wolf hunts to survive and finds its strength in speed and teamwork. Their strategies have taken them to the very top of Yellowstone, and it's no simple matter when they meet. In every encounter, the opposition must be measured, strengths must be tested, and risks must be carefully weighed. Each time, one of them will have a tactical advantage -- but which one, and when? What emerges as each remarkable scene unfolds, is the keen awareness that runs through all of Yellowstone. Elk and eagle, coyote and raven, otter and owl, every creature must assess, decide, and act -- to fight or to flee? It's all in knowing your own strengths and limitations in the heat of the moment in Yellowstone.

Troubled former teenage star Amanda Bynes has left a California facility after court-ordered psychiatric treatment and is recovering at her parents' home in Los Angeles, People magazine said on Thursday. The 27-year-old actress was receiving psychiatric care at a Malibu facility after she was alleged to have started a small fire in the front of a home in Thousand Oaks, a Los Angeles suburb, in July. "Amanda has completed her inpatient rehabilitation and she's feeling better every day," lawyer Tamar Arminak said in a statement released to the magazine. "Despite the fact Amanda is no longer in a facility, her outpatient treatment is continuing," he added.

BAYONNE, N.J., Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Henry Repeating Arms, the leading lever action rifle manufacturer headquartered in Bayonne NJ, will begin manufacturing their steel centerfire rifles in their Rice Lake, Wisconsin facility in 2014. To date the Wisconsin plant has supplied the Bayonne operation with many components used in all Henry models including receivers, bolts, sights and other internal parts. Several million dollars of new computerized machining equipment was invested in the Wisconsin facility to support the manufacturing of the company's caliber .30-30 and .45-70 rifles and to increase the volume of the components produced for its rimfire rifles.

Henry Repeating Arms purchased the 138,000 sq ft Rice Lake facility in 2006 from Wright Products, a subsidiary of FKI Industries, who manufactured their own line of storm door hardware. Wright also supplied components to other industries including Henry Repeating since 1998. Wright ceased manufacturing due to price pressure in the hardware industry, causing hundreds of lost jobs. Henry purchased the building and manufacturing equipment and retained 17 experienced employees. Today the company employs over 100 people and continues to hire to support its continued growth. Anthony Imperato, President and owner of the company states, "I am proud of what we've accomplished in Wisconsin by saving jobs, adding jobs, and creating a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. I decided to expand our operations here because of the outstanding job our employees do to help us meet increased demand."
Henry Repeating Arms will build and ship in excess of 300,000 rifles in 2013 and employs 300 people in total. Andy Wickstrom, General Manager of both locations, added, "Henry's goal is always to manufacture a line of classic, well-crafted firearms that every enthusiast can afford. The passion, expertise, and dedication of our employees in Rice Lake embody the company's motto, 'Made In America Or Not Made At All'. We are very proud to make Wisconsin a more integral part of the Henry Family."

There are 35 comments. Add yours.
What size is the iPad 3 update, need to make space when I get home.
this is new for me......just wondering if the screen has to be "active" for the download to continue or will it continue in the background? I do have it on the dock but just wondering if I need to make sure the screen is lit for the process. Sorry if that's a dumb question..
My iTunes update is going pretty swiftly, I think. I thought it might be quicker than the OTA, turns out I was correct. 10 minutes in, says I have 6 minutes to go.
Available here in Los Angeles, but lacking Wi-Fi access. Will update once I get home on my 4S. IPad 3 on the other hand, will have to wait until a Jailbreak is Available, which probably won't happen til next year.
Available here...updating both my iPad3 and 4S....saying 24 mins on each over wi-fi. I want it to go faster so I can play with iOS 6!!! Looking forward to Siri working in Canada!
Available here... the OTA download has tanked for my iPhone 4 - five different times now, using 4G WiFi. :-(
Guess I'll wait till I get home.
I thought only point releases could be updated OTA, Great news if that's not the case!
Also people complaining about their office internet being slow... it's more likely apple's servers getting slammed with requests. Later tonight or tomorrow should go a lot faster.
warning: if you're jailbroken backup first (though everyone should do that anyways) but i'm jailbroken on a 4s and tried to update through itunes. it's deleted all my content and it's taken so far 2 hours and about 30 minutes to restore my apps. still a few to go. but i got errors, had to restore, etc. Now to copy a ton of music back. But backup your stuff and prepare. if yours goes like mine it may take hours.
Currently performing OTA on my 4s. 50Mb wi-fi at home. Took 3-4 min to download. Now waiting on the "preparing the update" progress bar to complete. Looking forward to iOS 6.
Edited to add: whole process took 30 minutes start to finish. Looking good and trying it out.
Status (w/internet download speed of 10MB, and MBA ethernetted to TimeCapsule)
OS X 10.8.2.12C54 on mid 2011 i7 264 GB MBA (ca. 50 min to download, 10 min install & reboot),
iOS 6 on:
- iPh4s 64GB (ca. 40 min download + 15 min "prepare" + 20 min for 1st install & reboot phase, 5 min for 2nd install & reboot phase);
- iPa3 64GB 3G: failed to install 5x, throwing an unspecific "Update Failed" message (moving on to iPa2);
- iPa2 64GB WiFi-only: failed to install 8x, same as iPa3 (assuming overloaded servers at Apple's end, so going to dinner now!)
Reminder to everybody, before doing all your updates, don't forget to do something like this:
- allow enough time to do the process ... it took me about 2 hours (most of which was for doing the download and then for my iPh4s to process and install iOS6 ... so don't think you will save much time by skipping all the back-up steps that I include below out of an abundance of caution);
- start with charged-up devices (computer and ios units), keep plugged-in during the update process;
- back-up mac (or PC);
- import photos from iOS devices and sync/backup that device (my backup is to my mac, yours may be to the iCloud or elsewhere like a PC);
- back-up mac (again, note each successive back-up is faster because of the first one);
- d/l and install OS X 10.8.2 and restart (see notes above for my times);
- back-up mac (this will take some minutes because your are backing up the new OS X)
- d/l and install iOS 6 on your devices;
- when the iOS 6 screen finally pops up after 75 minutes, tap the "i" at the bottom to expose an information screen with IMEI and ICCID data; make a screen shot of it (simultaneously press sleep and home buttons for a second, the screen should flash white and, if volume is on, the camera shutter will make a noise);
- slide to open, enter your screen-unlock passcode (and if you don't have one, shame on you and don't forget to go into settings and set one up!);
- complete the short series of set up screens;
- sync/back-up your iOS devices (this appears to have begun automatically on mine after completing the preceding two steps and before the SIM unlock screen ever appeared);
- "finishing sync" taking ages, assume due to SIM card locked, pulled iPh from dock, shut-off and restarted; reentered screen and sim codes (1h20m since start); resyncing ... now it has decided to sync/copy all 2083 photos on the phone (didn't expect this!) ... photo sync complete 1h54m after start;
- back-up mac ca. 5m
- done (ca. 2h from start-to-finish; compared to the A5 processor in my iPh4s, the 2x faster A6 processor in the iPh5 is sounding pretty good just about now!)
- I stopped updating apps about 2 months ago because I wanted to wait for the improved security (for contacts, etc.), so I have about 53 updates to make yet ... this will add some more time to the whole update thing...
- I did a normal slide to shut off, and noticed that the spinning wheel is almost imperceptably dim...
can the west coast wait 3 more hours to download? im on the east coast and you all must have just come home from work. It just failed once and i'm trying again. let me download this!!!

Well I just booked my hostel to Xi'an and my end-of-this-week trip there is all set. Big kudos to Buddha for having his b-day and giving all us minions a Friday holiday. This will be my 3rd time this year traveling somewhere new for vacation and my 4th time in total (the most recent trip was for work). Since I have yet to post anything from my trip to Taiwan for Chinese New Year and both Beijing and Dubai from last month, here is one photo from each of those awesome destinations. Fun times were had.
Dubai (and Abu Dhabi)
That pizza photo? It was from a ROUND TABLE chain that gloriously exists in Dubai. I could contain my homesick excitement when I first saw in the taxi cab to the hotel.

Anorexia Nervosa
What is anorexia nervosa?
Anorexia nervosa (AN), a form of self-starvation, is an eating disorder characterized by low body weight (less than 85 percent of normal weight for height and age), a distorted body image, amenorrhea (absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles when otherwise expected to occur in women), and an intense fear of gaining weight. Anorexia nervosa is sometimes referred to as anorexia.What causes anorexia nervosa?
The cause of anorexia nervosa is not known but is thought to be a complex interplay of genetic, biologic, psychologic and sociocultural factors. A family history of an eating disorder does predispose an individual to an eating disorder but there is increasing interest in the possible role of neurotransmitter abnormalities in the development of anorexia nervosa.Other mental health problems such as anxiety disorders or affective disorders are commonly found in teens with anorexia.
Who is affected by anorexia nervosa?
The occurrence of anorexia nervosa has increased over the past 20 years among adolescents. It is estimated to occur in one out of every 100 females between the ages of 16 and 18 years old. Five to 10 percent of teens diagnosed with anorexia are males. Initially identified in upper- and middle-class families, anorexia is now known to be found in all socioeconomic groups and a variety of ethnic and racial groups.What are the different types of anorexia?
There are two subgroups of anorexic behavior aimed at reducing caloric intake, including the following:- restrictor type - severely limits the intake of food, especially carbohydrates and fat containing foods.
- bulimia (also called binge-eating/purging type) - eats in binges and then induces vomiting and/or takes large amounts of laxatives or other cathartics (medications, through their chemical effects, that serve to increase the clearing of intestinal contents).
What are the symptoms of anorexia nervosa?
The following are the most common symptoms of anorexia. However, each adolescent may experience signs differently.Symptoms may include:
- low body weight (less than 85 percent of normal weight for height and age)
- intense fear of becoming obese, even as individual is losing weight
- distorted view of one's body weight, size, or shape; sees self as too fat, even when very underweight; expresses feeling fat, even when very thin
- refuses to maintain minimum normal body weight
- in females, absence of three menstrual cycles without another cause
- excessive physical activity in order to promote weight loss
- denies feelings of hunger
- preoccupation with food preparation
- bizarre eating behaviors
- dry skin that when pinched and released, stays pinched
- dehydration
- abdominal pain
- constipation
- lethargy
- dizziness
- fatigue
- intolerance to cold temperatures
- emaciation
- development of lanugo (fine, downy body hair)
- yellowing of the skin
How is anorexia nervosa diagnosed?
Parents, teachers, coaches, or instructors may be able to identify the child or adolescent with anorexia, although many persons with the disorder initially keep their illness very private and hidden. However, a child psychiatrist or a qualified mental health professional usually diagnoses anorexia in children and adolescents. A detailed history of the adolescent's behavior from parents and teachers, clinical observations of the adolescent's behavior, and, sometimes, psychological testing contribute to the diagnosis. Parents who note symptoms of anorexia in their child or teen can help by seeking an evaluation and treatment early. Early treatment can often prevent future problems.Anorexia, and the malnutrition that results, can adversely affect nearly every organ system in the body, increasing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Anorexia can be fatal. Consult your adolescent's physician for more information.
Treatment for anorexia nervosa:
Specific treatment for anorexia nervosa will be determined by your adolescent's physician based on:- your adolescent's age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of your adolescent's symptoms
- your adolescent's tolerance for specific medications or therapies
- expectations for the course of the condition
- your opinion or preference
Possible complications of anorexia nervosa:
Medical complications that may result from anorexia include, but are not limited to, the following:- cardiovascular (heart)
While it is difficult to predict which anorexic patients might have life-threatening heart problems that result from their illness, the majority of hospitalized anorexic patients have been found to have low heart rates. Myocardial (heart muscle) damage that can occur as a result of malnutrition or repeated vomiting may be life threatening. Common cardiac complications that may occur include the following
- arrhythmias (a fast, slow, or irregular heartbeat)
- bradycardia (slow heartbeat)
- hypotension (low blood pressure)
- hematological (blood)
An estimated one-third of anorexic patients have mild anemia (low red blood cell count). Leukopenia (low white blood cell count) occurs in up to 50 percent of anorexic patients.
- gastrointestinal (stomach and intestines)
Normal movement in intestinal tract often slows down with very restricted eating and severe weight loss. Gaining weight helps to restore normal intestinal motility.
- renal (kidney)
Dehydration may be associated with anorexia and results in highly concentrated urine. Polyuria (increased production of urine) may also develop in anorexic patients when the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine decreases. Renal changes usually return to normal with the restoration of normal weight.
- endocrine (hormones)
In females, amenorrhea (cessation of the menstrual cycle for at least three consecutive months when otherwise expected) is one of the hallmark symptoms of anorexia. Amenorrhea often precedes severe weight loss and continues after normal weight is restored. Reduced levels of growth hormones are sometimes found on anorexic patients and may explain growth retardation sometimes seen in anorexic patients. Normal nutrition usually restores normal growth.
- skeletal (bones)
Persons with anorexia are at an increased risk for skeletal fractures (broken bones).When the onset of anorexic symptoms occurs before peak bone formation has been attained (usually mid to late teens), a greater risk of osteopenia (decreased bone tissue) or osteoporosis (bone loss) exists. Bone density is often found to be low in females with anorexia, and low calcium intake and absorption is common.
Prevention of anorexia nervosa:
Preventive measures to reduce the incidence of anorexia are not known at this time. However, early detection and intervention can reduce the severity of symptoms, enhance the adolescent's normal growth and development, and improve the quality of life experienced by children or adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Encouraging healthy eating habits and realistic attitudes toward weight and diet may also be helpful.The information on this Web page is provided for educational purposes.

Statutes of the World Archaeological Congress |
Friday, 08 May 2009 17:26 |
(Adopted 1990. Revised January 1999, June 2003 and July 2008)ARTICLE 1 The organisation shall be called World Archaeological Congress, hereinafter referred to as 'WAC'. ARTICLE 2 2.1 WAC is an international non-profit making organisation concerned with all aspects of archaeological theory and practice. Its main emphasis is on academic issues and questions which benefit from a widely oriented and comparative approach. It attempts to bridge the disciplinary divisions of the past into chronological periods (such as prehistoric or protohistoric or historic archaeology), and to avoid exclusive, particularistic regional concerns. 2.2 WAC is based on the explicit recognition of the historical and social role, and the political context, of archaeological enquiry, of archaeological organisations, and of archaeological interpretation. Its distinctive aims are: a] to discuss themes which truly reflect the interest of its worldwide membership; b] to make explicit the relevance of its studies to the wider community. 2.3 In the pursuit of its aims it shall: a] promote the study of archaeology by the organisation of international conferences concerning any aspect of the archaeological sciences. These may include specialist regional and chronological subjects including historical and culture-specific investigations; b] promote scientific publications and contributions to such publications on archaeological subjects; c] generally in collaboration with scholars from any country engage in or foster any enterprise which will promote or further the knowledge of archaeology or disseminate knowledge or information on archaeological subjects; d] respect in all its activities the principles of the UN and UNESCO regarding Human Rights and it may affiliate to any other organisation which respects those principles. ARTICLE 3 3.1 The head office of WAC shall be at the place designated, from time to time, by the Executive. 3.2 The languages of Congresses and their publications shall be any of the official languages of UNESCO which may be used in any of WAC's transactions and in the transactions of any of its constituent bodies. 3.3 Any dispute as to the meaning or application of these Statutes shall be determined in accordance with English law. 3.4 Members of WAC hereby confer on the courts of England and Wales jurisdiction to determine any dispute which may arise under these Statutes.

ARTICLE 5: Regional Electoral Colleges 5.1 WAC shall be divided into Regions known for the purposes of elections to WAC's constituent bodies as Regional Electoral Colleges. (Endnote 1) 5.2 The Assembly may create additional Regional Electoral Colleges or amalgamate Colleges to reduce the number. 5.3 The Council shall have the power to assign countries to the Regional Electoral Colleges and to transfer any country from one College to another as it shall think appropriate in the interests of WAC and its decision shall be final until the next meeting of the Assembly. 5.4 All individual members on joining WAC shall be assigned to a Regional Electoral College on the basis of residence. Any member who wishes to transfer to a different Regional Electoral College on the basis of geographical area of work may apply at any time to the Council for a transfer.

Any factory over clocked 7850 beats this, and many come with 1000mhz and still have another 20-25% room for more over clock Either way I bet amd will come out with 7850 boost edition with the whole new powertune goodies which will easily clear knock this 650boost to even lower prices, meanwhile 7790 has some overclock room and is cheaper so would take a bit of price cut
This card is the new GTX 460 1gb. Great value. I owned the GTX 460 768mb. I'm thinking the 650 boost 1gb will be a good replacement for that card and bring me back to team green.
Oc wise not so much, but it does offer probably the best value for NVIDIA just as the GTX 460 did back then. If they make a low pro variant in 1 gb, that would be perfect. I love itx as do many others. Right now we still have to settle for a 7750
I thought I did compare the two with price in-mind I guess if your really strapped for $14 or out of the delivery market. Its a $4 differance if your looking at MSI or EVGA Superclocked. You loose out on 192 Shader Cores 16 Texture Units $75 in-game currency 10% performance increase from a base GTX 660 (15% when max OC) for just $14 $14 is just over what tax is going to be for the item so its not a stretch. It just another way to sell off GK106 chips that didnt make the cut for the GTX 660 at the highest price possible. Nvidia as a company is entitled to charge what they want for there products but as a consumer I can say look thats a shitty deal from whats currently out on the market. They can easily ditch the $150 in-game currency and lower the 660 price a bit more but that wont make money off the GK106 chips that cant be in either the 660 or the 650 Ti. You really think an informed consumer would not rather have the better card. I rather get the most out of my money at the time I purchase it whenever possible.
They give you 7850-ish (or more) performance for a lower price, so they giving users a card with the best price/performance ratio by far, period. I guess the card will probably end up around $115-125 after rebates which pretty much renders all other cards a nogo except for those who overclock perhaps. And you are not their costumer, you are one of the rare persons here who doesn't see this as a good card, only because it was not made by AMD. How is it that most of us can appreciate and like good products from both sides, and most of us are happy when we see a new and exciting hardware (which might induce pricewar goodness upon us btw), except you?
lol Nevermind AMD. The GTX 660 is a better buy. Cause i'm not blind to the fact that for $4 to $14 more you get a much better card from them with more features. Sorry, I just dont appreciate being ripped off or others for that fact for a $4 to $14 dollars difference. Maybe if I wish people were to waste money on a lesser product. I be raving about it.
Are you talking about this GTX650Ti Boost? When do you believe it could hit that bracket? Maybe after Maxwell hits... This is not a start to a price war. This is to provide abutment to the GTX660, which Nvidia doesn't/didn't want to let slide below $200. Both this from Nvidia and AMD release of the 7790, to me were to back fill so pricing won't tumble. Nvidia's move here isn't so much any driver necessitating AMD's price reduction on 7790's, it was too high to begin with $130 would be perfect. While Nvidia has no reason to follow unless 7850/7870 pricing moves, and it really doesn't look like those will. Maybe things will change with a 1Gb GTX 650 Boost, but till then everyone will stand their ground. You got to know Nvidia has had this rendition from day one, and has held it in reserve, but not sure what for… but how about this? Nvidia almost had to figure 6mo's back AMD coming with an lower cost chip/card to vie in the $180-240 (88XX). AMD would've known another GK106 (gelding) but with boost was an absolute likelihood. At that time Nvidia understood AMD's new offerings would arrive, and figured this would permit them something to respond with on an even lower price (aka 1Gb) at this point. Then a month or so back it became clear AMD (Sea Island) wasn't in any rush but why… Something tells me Bonaire was to be more, perhaps not a direct Pitcairn replacement but something that would provide strong profits at $180-240 price point. The Bonaire was more just a trial "what if" engineering design that came up short, and perhaps is a reason AMD pushed back 8XXX cards IDK. Although, instead of just scraping the design they trimmed it down to achieve the highest yields (why isn't there both LE/XT) reduced memory bus, and use it to filled their gap. While not to long ago Nvidia knew what AMD had (purportedly a chip 10% under the 7850.. but it's not really) they figured there's no reason holding it back anymore and plugged their gap. However they came out on the winning side, being able to hold to good price for them while a value to buyers. Had AMD actual got Bonaire to be closure to a 7850, we might have seen more movement on prices, but as the way it played out the 7790 has very little bearing on the GTX 650 Boost 2Gb pricing.
No, the 660 is just a better card. Or how do you explain that almost all expert on the Interent (including W1zzard) reaches the same conslusion about this card as how is it on this picture? (and let's just not forget that this is the more expensive 2GB version)
Did you bother reading the review ? That chart is based on GTX 660 @ $215 Gigabyte GTX 660 OC 2GB @ $183.99 Its not like there running out of these cards either when there limited to 10 per customer. Nvidia by introducing the GTX 650 Ti Boost @ $169.99 it just keeps cards above it from droping in price.
Not only in newegg i just got the gigabyte gtx 660 oc to replace my 7770 from a local shop at the price of 185$ thats a steal
NO, that card is 203.99, and I don't even understand anymore why am i arguing with you tbh. Go ahead and hate this great card or Nvidia as much as you like, I'm done.
Also i thing that at 170$ in newegg you can get the msi twinfrozr II wich has one of the best cooling solutions and it must oc's better than the stock one
Do you not like reading ? There is a $20.00 rebate on it right under the price. Take your pic from rebate or none rebate Newegg isnt the only one selling GTX 660s for under $185.
No it's $200. That's why I'm done with you in this subject. You are seriously want to take special sales and rebates into comparing cards in high quality reviews.I also wonder how much a GTX650ti Boost 1GB gonna cost after you apply some specials, coupons, rebates or whatnot.
Really ? If the prices set in the review reflect actual market then I'd agree but they dont. Just on Newegg alone there 7 cards GTX 660 under the $215 dollar price comparison in the review without a rebate. 5 of those are Overclocked. 4 cards are being sold under $189.99 at the time of the review. 3 of those 7 cards are sold without rebate at $199 & $209. The review implies a $45 dollar differance when there is a $20 at the time it was published. Even after the rebate expires there will only be a $30 dollar differance. $169 to $199. So that chart you pointed out is still not inline with the current market. You have to take the review for what it is. GTX 650 TI Boost on Newegg. No rebates.
Wow, the pricing used in any review is what either manufacture along with AIB's want you to believe and promote as the long term written record. Only a few pricing sites will maintain the actuals of pricing including rebates, codes, or "add to basket" among other tricks to project prices are still bolstered. While reviews can't take in account all the regions and deal so they print what manufacture are wanting everyone to believe (it's the party line). But then they all turn around and encourage /supplement movement with rebates, codes, etc, that are sponsored and/or unwritten by them or AIB. Not calculating such offers is not considering the changes and flux that is taking place in the market and not recognizing that as competition between side and between AIB's. Use them or not but they are a true barometer to the what is happening in the market no matter what they want you to believe.
I agree that they shape localized market decisions, but you can't project that to the whole global market. You gonna need to take a mean value from the market, and use that in your calculations. Picking up the best possible price which is a special and some limited sale can't and won't give you objective and correct result imho. (I did not find too many worldwide on pcpartpicker and on other similar online sites), so it's not the major trend atm). The gtx660 is not $183 atm, so you can't treat it like that in comparision, well not yet at least, but let's hope it's gonna be soon
I checked prices last week and they were what I used in the review. Apparently NVIDIA reduced GTX 660 non-TI prices. I'm no fortune teller. For the record. We do not use rebates as these are not available everywhere, and often complicated to get.
What's interresting is every 1Gb 7850 at Egg are $180 and not one with a rebate now... it wasn't uncommon even 10-12 day ago to see two or so at $160 or less after rebate. While appears many of the 2Gb models have moved up in price...

Too hot? Cool down with some Hawaiian shaved ice
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011I recently was reminded (through the so-called "coconut wireless") of two Hawaiian shaved ice wagons in town, one in the NW, and the other in Sahuarita & sometimes in & around Tucson.
What is shaved ice? Well, it's basically soft fluffy particles of ice, shaved off a large chunk, and then served in a cone-like holder, with flavored juice poured all over it. It's wildly popular back home in Hawaii. (Here in the U.S. Mainland, it is often confused with those hard "snow cones" but Hawaiian shaved ice is "mo' bedda" (pidgin English for more better) since it's a lot softer.)
Shaka Shave Ice parks their wagon (11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays & Sundays only) in front of the super-large Asian supermarket Lee Lee's at the NE corner of La Cholla and Orange Grove (1990 W. Orange Grove). Their website is http://shakashaveiceaz.com/ and is operated by Lynn Miyazaki Bronaugh, husband Jeff, and daughter Michelle Munoz. Phone # for Shaka Shave Ice is 520-531-2367, email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Lynn grew up in Kaneohe, Oahu and ate a lot of shaved ice there, and all 3 in this family have lived in Hawaii as well. The flavors they serve:
banana • black cherry • blue hawaii • blue raspberry • bubble gum • cherry • coconut • cotton candy • dreamsicle • grape • guava punch • li-hing-mui • lime • lychee • mango • margarita • melona • orange • passion fruit • pineapple • rootbeer • strawberry • vanilla • watermelon
…and The Combinations
keiki special • rainbow • hawaiian grinds • mauna kea • POG • SHAKA kone
I tried their shaved (shave) ice a while ago when they were parked outside of the Foothills Mall, and it's "onolicious" (delicious using the Hawaiian word "ono" for yummy), especially the POG (combination of passion fruit/orange/guava).
The other wagon is Da Kine Hawaiian Shave Ice operated by Elisha Wintch, who used to live on Oahu as well, and whose grandpa is from there. She operates mostly out of a city park in Sahuarita and has a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/DaKine-Shave-Ice-of-Sahuarita/209145055767019.
Da Kine's bright yellow shaved ice wagon was there at 2nd Saturdays Downtown in Tucson on June 11 and is sometimes parked near Palo Verde High School on E. 22nd St., west of Kolb. I recommend you call ahead to (801) 360-5319 to find out where they are for the day, or check out their Facebook page. I also noticed their wagon at the recent Fiesta Grande on May 7 & 8 in Barrio Hollywood.
As the summer temperatures get hotter & hotter, I start yearning for a cool shaved ice…though growing up on the Big Island, we called it "ice shave". Whatever you call it, it's wonderfully refreshing on a hot day!

David Bowie
The multi-talented and chameleonic Bowie (he was born David Jones, but changed to Bowie after Monkee Davy Jones hit the big time) got his start as a singer/songwriter in the UK, scoring a modest hit in 1969 with "Space Oddity," a tune that was to be much bigger in subsequent releases. With a characteristic talent for anticipating pop-culture trends, he had soon transformed himself into an androgynous, glitter-encrusted, highly theatrical space alien, achieving huge success on both sides of the Atlantic with his Ziggy Stardust persona. Ziggy would give way to several other incarnations, including the surreal Diamond Dog and the scary Thin White Duke; along the way Bowie would experiment with a wide variety of styles and collaborate with a who's who including John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Brian Eno and Queen. He produced a number of noteworthy albums for other artists, including Lou Reed, Mott the Hoople (whose hit "All the Young Dudes" was a Bowie composition), and Iggy Pop. He's also won acclaim for stage and screen work, including the title roles in "The Man Who Fell to Earth" and "Elephant Man," as well as his performance as his late friend Andy Warhol in "Basquiat." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

Staff were fantastic. When you arrive they give you a Bali mobile to use during your stay! You also have a 24 hr butler who you can call up organise restaurants, activities or the hotel driver to pick you up or drop you off at a destination. There is also a roof top bar with lots of delicious cocktails!!!Expedia 真实住客点评
"Fabulous stay"
The staff made us feel so welcomed and special. Their service was superb. The hotel provides free shuttle within Seminyak. On an occasion, it was not available. To our surprise, they arranged a cab on their tab. As we were on honeymoon, they upgraded us to a better room. A very nice gesture. We really felt special throughout the whole stay. My husband […] and I will definitely stay in this hotel when visit Bali again. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great stay!"
While there is a lack of customer service in the hospitality industry these days, there are still a handful of properties around the globe who know how to do things right. I stayed with my son (25y) 4 nights in L-Hotel Seminyak. It is a small boutique hotel with a butler dedicated at each floor. No doubt about the high standard of the butler service, […] they are true professionals. For the customer confort, the hotel complied by providing with a special choice of pillows! The breakfast is "a la carte" with a fine choice selection. The staff have great attention to the smallest detail at breakfast. Attentive service at its best, not the result of training, more than likely not in the service manual, but just a pride for the profession and a passion to serve. What exceeded our expectations was the attitude of the staff, the spirit of service that they embodied. No doubt the location of the hotel are the main reasons people travel all the way to L-Hotel Seminyak, but it is the fellow staff members who ensure that the guests come back. I will be back again for sure. Thanks to Suardiana and the great staff. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Enjoyable Stay"
Although the hotel is not quite near main Seminyak area, the free shuttle service is good enough to bring us around. Everything in the room is perfect. The breakfast selection is great and I must say the chef is good. The staff gave us good suggestion on where to eat and shop. One suggestion for the hotel would be to change the bedroom slippers to anti-slip […] as it was quite slippery on the teak flooring. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"great hotel in an odd location"
We arrived late to the hotel after midnight flight to a warm welcome,but because we were only staying one night we missed out on the free cocktails and sunset views from the top deck which are apparently a highlight. The rooms are interesting because they are small by Bali standards with the bathroom intergrated into the room with a separate toilet […] behind the cupboard doors....it gives a new (literal) meaning to water closet! And this is my only criticism of the L hotel ,that they missed the chance of making this a truly luxury hotel by making the rooms too tight...so more boutique than luxury...But the hotel supplies a great breakfast that allows you anything or everything (until you are satisfied!) which is a la carte and top quality (the cook was irish I think)..The location is in a remote part of seminyak but the hotel will drop off and pickup free of charge anywhere in the area so that's not a problem. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Lovely L Hotel"
Staff incredibly helpful and friendly. Great that they give you a mobile phone so you can call the hotel to pick you up from wherever you are. Only a couple of things they could improve on; bedrooms are beautiful but not much space for storing your clothes. Swimming Pool is in the restaurant so unlikely anyone would ever use it and there is nowhere […] to sit in the sunshine. They do drop you off at a local beach club though, just 5 mins in the car. Would stay there again. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"An hotel with a huge potential in Seminiak"
The overall impression we had from the hotel was very positive. This hotel was recently open when we stayed there for a weekend. Very nice services comes complementary with the room: butler service, mobile phone with local sim card, shuttle service in Seminiak... The breakfast is amazing (their Egg Benedict are to die for...). The only remark is that […] the staff made us wait at the check-in because they couldn't find our booking and wanted to charge us for some items that we didn't consume from the mini-bar. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Very nice stay"
Very small boutique hotel. Its not on the beach but shuttle service is provided from the hotel. Service is very attentive. A few things to keep in mind is to make sure you find out what is included in your hotel price. i.e. pick up/drop off to airport as this was unclear in my case. They wanted to charge me 140,000 rp to the airport. I opted for a local […] taxi which cost on 53,000 rp 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

L Hotel Seminyak is fantastic! I would rate it as one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at. The staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough for you. The personal butler service and the shuttle service to the seminyak is great. The Luna bar and Lola restaurant served delicious food and yummy cocktails. The L'Spa next door is beautiful and you receive […] 25% discount on all treatments when you are a guest at the hotel! 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"very comfortable!!"
We had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at L Hotel. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too hard for them, and we could not fault their service. Our room was inviting, very clean. Complimentary water and juice from the mini bar daily. Also complimentary Kiehl's toiletries including sunscreen, daily. No need to bring anything from home! […] Meals at the hotel restaurant were excellent, fresh and lots to chose from on the many different menus. Excellent value for money also. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfasts and nightly free cocktails and canapes at the rooftop bar and restaurant. Downside was the pool was located beside meals area, could be a little awkward swimming with lots of people eating...a bit on show. Pool is also indoors, no sunbaking versus the shade advantage. Lovely place to stay, would recommend. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"No beach, no big pool... so what!"
If you do choose to stay at the L Seminyak, go with the right expectations and the experience will be amazing. Yes, the hotel is not by the beach, nor within walking distance. And there's only a small pool within the hotel that can be covered in 15 strokes (I counted). BUT.. and it's a big but, the amazing staff more than make up for the traditional […] areas it lacks in. The hotel is small (just 30 rooms) and hence, the staff seem to know every guest intimately. Guests are greeted by their names, the staff are always smiling, and they always inquire about your day, your activities and truly believe in making it a personal experience. What I found invaluable is the free shuttle that the hotel provides in and around the Seminyak area. Guests are given a handphone when you leave the hotel (do ask for it if they forget to pass it to you) so that you can call for a pick up when you need it. I also tried out the L Spa which is located next door. Great experience, the masseuse was experienced and I basically passed out under her tender kneading. For the ladies - the beautifying package (RP 790,000) is value for money - you get a scrub, a massage and a hair or facial treatment. While the pool was small and may be a little awkward to use as it's located next to the restaurant that doubles up as the breakfast area, I had no problem using it as it was empty! I suppose the combination of low season and other guests choosing to head out meant i basically had a private pool. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Birthday surprise"
This hotel is fantastic. The staff are amazing and what they offer is just as great. It was my birthday during my stay and the hotel staff and manager all came up to my room with cake, chocolate coated strawberries and sang happy birthday. Then they gave me a birthday card signed by everyone. Free drink and canapés on the rooftop bar with an awesome […] view of the sun setting over the water. Could not be happier, definitely the best hotel we had on our trip. Would definitely come back. There is not a buffet to be seen for breakfast it's all off the menu and quality dishes. Thanks L ;-) 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
"Great hotel for the price"
Location wise-it's similar to hotels in Bali that are not exactly near the beach area. The hotel has a personal butler who will help you with everything you need in Bali. It also provide you with a pillow menu that will make your sleep a little bit better. The room I stayed in, there isn't partition between the bed and the bathroom area so make sure […] you are here with someone one you're closed with. The free breakfast selection is fabulous. The only downside of this hotel would be the location of the swimming pool. It's located in the dining area. I didn't do a lot of swimming, but I'd think you wouldn't want to go swimming while watching other people eat or vice-versa. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
