Walk-around tastings. Auctions. Winemaker dinners. The wine world has no shortage of social gatherings, and with each event comes the seemingly silly, yet kind of important question: What should you wear?
In these days when hoodie-clad tech execs top the Forbes 400 and Malvasia gets more attention than Meursault on Brooklyn wine lists, yes, you can wear whatever you want to wine events. End of story. What's really important at these things is the company you keep and what's in your glass, etc., etc.
But let's get real. It's telling that many comments on Talia Baiocchi's blog post last week about a new generation of Napa winemakers revolved not around stylistic decisions in winemaking, but the clothes winemakers wear—specifically whether it was apt to describe 1980s Napa as "linen-wearing." Clearly, this stuff matters.
Without getting into a Thorstein Veblen-laced recap of Sociology 101, how we dress is a signal about status and class, and once you add wine into the picture, you've got a seriously complicated matrix. I asked a few wine and fashion professionals about what they've noticed at events, and the consensus seems to be that, despite the slow creep of casual Friday into casual everyday in America, the dress codes—spoken or unspoken—of the wine world still seem to skew on the more formal side.
"Generally speaking, you do see people dress up for wine events more so than food events," said Christopher Miller, sommelier at Los Angeles' Spago. He said that even though Southern California may be less formal overall, it doesn't mean people aren't well-dressed at wine events. "Casual is a tricky word. Even when someone is quote unquote casual, they still look like they stepped out of GQ. Their jeans are ironed better than the next guy's suit. It's a respectful casual."
Marie Keep, auctioneer for Boston-based Skinner, said that auction-goers tend to welcome a chance to get dressed up at their events. "We see the full gamut," she said, but in general, she noted the crowds are well-appointed, with women in "beautiful dresses or well-tailored suits" and men in business attire.
Business casual and cocktail attire seemed to be the default guess for what to wear when no dress code is specified. The most common refrain, however, was to consider what was appropriate for the venue, a suggestion endorsed by Kate Spade CEO Deborah Lloyd. "If the venue feels more formal, then I will wear a cocktail dress, but if it is someplace outdoors or more rustic, I like to relax my outfit," she said via e-mail.
Lloyd, who is partnering with Domaine Carneros to launch a sparkling rosé in the spring, also made an important point about the value of doing outfit research ahead of time: "I think you should dress for the occasion, so that you're not worried about your outfit and can focus on the important subject at hand—the wine!"
Below, I've compiled some general suggestions that work for any venue, from private dinners to walk-around tastings. What other tips would you offer newcomers to the wine world about dressing for a wine tasting? Please leave advice in the comments.
Wear Dark Colors: "I always forget to wear dark colors, but you're spitting stuff out, so it's important," said Emily Wines, beverage director for Kimpton Hotels. If you're prone to spills, a scarf or shawl can double as an emergency cover-up.
Fragrance-Free: No perfume, cologne or strong-scented anything that would overwhelm the wines. "That's a big no-no," said Jason Wagner, wine director of RM in Chicago. Smell is a huge part of tasting. "You would be shunned."
Practical Fashion: Marie Keep, of Skinner Auctions, said she avoids dangling sleeves that would interfere with picking up glasses and likes to have pockets to carry a notebook and pen. However, even if she's going to be on her feet a while, she prefers heels to flats. "I personally like heels so I can see over people's heads and shoulders," she said. "I do not like to be lost in a crowd."
Be Comfortable: "I always think that you should find what you feel best and most confident in and then build your outfit from there," said Deborah Lloyd, CEO of Kate Spade. "I happen to feel very happy in a colorful dress and some great jewelry."

When I first started reporting on wine auctions in the mid-90s, the dress code was fairly formal in New York. Jacket and tie in the very least for the men. The few women who attended these events were always smartly dressed – most often in a dress. Fast forward to 2012, and there has been a sea change insofar as auction apparel goes. Designer jeans, slacks and sweaters have largely supplanted suits. There are a few more women in attendance, still smartly attired, but sporting more or less the same outfits. And while auction goers have been dressing down, auction prices have gone through the roof.
Sean Calder — Vancouver, Canada — November 16, 2012 12:59pm ET
My rules for tastings:
* wear dark colours
* no perfume or cologne
* step aside once you've had your pour (and possibly a quick chat with the pourer)
* a toothbrush for a quick touch-up if you're tasting reds.
Maryann Worobiec — Napa, CA — November 16, 2012 1:08pm ET
Here in Napa, there are often events where the attire is described as "wine country casual." As far as I can tell, it's mostly business casual with a splash of cocktail attire and/or a touch of cowboy. Layers are necessary to deal with the diurnal temperature variation. Since most of the events take place outside and in the grass, high heels don't work well.
Ray Everett — San Francisco, CA — November 27, 2012 1:44pm ET
Personally, I thank the gods that the hipsters are still into their PBR and haven't moved onto wine yet, so I have yet to see very many pairs of skinny jeans and tattered flannel shirts at tastings here in San Francisco. But there definitely does seem to be a male uniform of sorts at many of the tastings I've been to here in SF and up in Sonoma and Napa: khakis or nice jeans, button down shirts with a fleece jacket or other warm pullover or sweater that can be thrown jauntily over the shoulders. That's what I think of when I think "wine country casual"... but I'm probably hanging out with a sketchier crowd than Maryann. ;-)
Michael Henderson — San Francisco — December 22, 2012 10:06pm ET
Sweater that can be jauntily thrown over the shoulders. Does anything look worse? Wear it or don't take it.

Crysis 2 was about 10-12 hours for me, and now this installment is only about 6 hours long?
Crysis - 90%
Crysis 2 - 85%
Crysis 3 - 75%
This is what happens when you ignore singleplayer and concentrate on multiplayer.
think 7.5 was fair for this i was disappointed with the story and some gameplay. think its time for crytek to go back to drawing board.
The last thing video games need is a shorter campaign. I am sick of 6 hour campaigns. grrrr
Its weird that Crytek stepped away from their winning formula that they used for Crysis and Warhead... Huge, open environments where I choose where, when and how to engage the enemy, or IF to engage in the first place. In Crysis2 they turned it into a hallway shooter essentially, and this one doesn't sound like much of an improvement on C2... As it is absolutely NOTHING sets this game apart from the other AAA FPS games that came out in the past couple of years. Normally game companies recognize a win and stick with it, Crytek seems to just degenerate into yet another FPS spewing studio... no thought paid to encounter mechanics, just mindless run and gun... and at a premium price at that! I'll stick to Crysis/Warhead and the STALKER series... the fan community seems years ahead of the game studios at producing quality content, especially so considering the limited resources of the modder teams.
Just finished it. Yes, it's short, but I still like it. In fact, here comes the blasphemy, I had more fun with it at times than with Far Cry 3. The weapons have more of a 'kick' to them, the music is so much better and I just can't understand why the main character in FC3 kills without hesitation, but is whining about his situation at every chance he gets. Maybe Crysis 3 doesn't have the best story ever, but I still care more about Prophet and Psycho then that guy in FC3.
Didn't finish the game, was just boring me with the new Tomb Raider breathing down my neck, just had no feel of wanting to come back to it. in my eye's A/CM was more moreish than this.
I laugh when PC purists say it's always better on the PC....what you don't understand is that in order to make it look better, you have to crank your settings all the way up to even notice. And as we all know, anything less than an out-of-the-box rig wont be able to run at a reasonable frame rate do so. PC fails.
Crysis 2, for me, was so, so god damn boring. No doubt this is boring too, the gameplay is just ultimately so bland. Its wrapped up in some nice graphics and technical work but that doesn't negate it. I like Crysis 3's ending though, and it touched on some interesting themes, too bad it wasn't told so well and was painful to get to with some obligatory been-there-done-that shooting. I did like Prophet's character arc though.
Hey Jonny from Feedbackula, jus wanted to say Hi, and thank you for doing your show
*sigh* Crysis 1 story felt cool... 2 and 3 felt like they tried to "milk the cow"..this is becoming redundant.
@LukeWesty It's not a question of "performing better".. it's the graphical detail you can achieve, which on a PC is higher (some games more, some games less; depends on the way the individual games have been coded/ported and also on individual PC specs/parts).
What happens is that on a good PC, you can set the graphical details to higher settings than you can on a console, all the while keeping the same framerate and suffering no stuttering. If you were to set the same 'higher' details on the console, you would defenitly notice the stutter and the game would be 'laggy' (low framerate), due to the hardware not being powerful enough.
As usual a great review by Kevin. Nevertheless there was no discussion about the enemy AI. This was a major issue in Crysis 2, making the game super boring. In this new installment enemies seem again to simply rush at you. Together with the clocking ability this and you have a limited challenge ahead of you.
What get's me is all these PC player that bang on about how wonderfull the PC is to these dated console'e yet they never get a higher score for it performing better on the PC... weird isn't it that.
Did Crytek pay to have them give special enphasis to The Bow? I'm more interested in the Alien stuff.
Oh hey look how awesome this typical FPS Bow is remember the Bow in Farcry 3? Yeah it's kind of like that now you definitely have to buy it because the game is so short and boring they had to review The Bow!
why in the commercial for the pulse is there a statue of a naked man pouring water on himself?? I don't think thats playing to the demographic
I don believe they call this game is a sandbox FPS game. Crysis 3 or a Alien fighter version of Doctor Price ???
Thank you very much, but if I want a tech demo or a benchmark software, I'll just use 3DMark or Unigine...AND, these are free.
I'm not paing for this crap.
I loved original Crysis and Warhead, Crysis 2 was OK, at least it had a lenghty campain, but this is just ridiculous.
I don't even care if it has awesome MP, MP should be the bonus content, not the other way around.
Devs are geting more and more lazy. Pretty soon we'll have only MP games that require no story, no characters, no nothing.
I'm supposed to pay 100$ for this? (yes, that's how much a PC game costs in my country, and NO, I cannot purchase via Steam, because it is not available in my country (> <).
The hell I am, I'll TPB this baby. Sue me.
And these guys wonder why is there a need for piracy.
Crysis 4 will feature a 2 hours single player campaign. I don't want to bash the game because I understand that gaming companies think that a FPS nowadays needs a solid multiplayer to have a chance to compete with CoD and with Battlefield(now that it is going to be one every year). But if I as a gamer can understand them, why can't they do the same for me?
Anyway if you really want things to change, don't buy the games that you feel aren't worth the money. Before you go out and buy the next 70 quid deluxe edition DRM game think if you really need it, because it may turn out you are a consumer that has his priorities messed up. Needs should be above fake desires. Even if you got plenty of money the same thing applies. If Mahatma Gandhi was a gamer he would have said: "Be the change that you wish to see in the gaming industry."
P.S.: Candy eye graphics are good and a pleasure to watch but are not the first element that make a game. In the movie industry the consumer likes nice effects and good CGI but at the end if the plot is thick and forced upon the viewer they will complain and won't give a rat's ass about the special effects. Gaming will get there eventually.
Im agrre with this review, the game looks amazing but Its the same thing a FPS.Im not a COD Fan but the first Black Ops game was amazing, the story was awesome.
This game looks like It has no story. I just liked the first Crysis.
Well I was willing to try but they are few years too early to stop and support DX10...
@isahunt That is not why each game got lower ratings, every Crysis game had multiplayer and the first game was just fine. The story just became a mess and wasn't interesting and gameplay changed and so on.
@Dschadir I'm with you on this. Just couldn't get into the world of FC3, this however was enjoyable and engaging from the get go.
@Dschadir Big difference, one has an open sandbox of a world with stuff to explore, this is a linear shooter. Far cry 3 had a shitty story, but it was about sandbox fun. the wingsuit was fun to do stunts in.
@Gravity_Slave PC may not have the best appearances,,but it is evergreen,,it will continue even when PSxxx n Xboxyyy will be launched
P.S.-I own all PSs,but PC is ultimate!!!!!
@Gravity_Slave and playing with a mouse and keyboard takes away from the immersion.
@Gravity_Slave You could not be more wrong if you tried. Nothing in your post is even close to being correct, and i'm saying that as an owner of a 360, a wii, and a gaming pc.
90% of Pc player's on this site fool themselve's into believing they have an ultra rig when they just don't, then come on this site boasting that the Pc is so much better than console. Pc is only better atm on ultra otherwize it isn't better at all.
I like how PC gamers have to wait months or even years to get a PC port...if at all.
How are you tools liking Brutal Legend? Yeah, the console game we all played nearly 3 years ago. Congrats on that milestone
@LukeWesty b/c whether the game is great or flawed better resolution does not negate from the fact that the game still performs that same as console when on pc
@LukeWesty I don't need a special higher score on a review site to tell me that the games look better on a PC. I'm not that insecure.
@Chupacabra3332 too bad black ops felt like a rail shooter. Yanks control away from you every chance it gets.
Its always the same with you twits. You come on here saying someone is "stupid" or "wrong" but you NEVER even make a minimal attempt at giving an example to counter someone else. They're "just wrong because you say so". Well that's not good enough.
Chances are you didn't just build your rig. Its probably got age to it. So you are not putting your settings on ultra and even on medium you're still sacrificing textures and resolutions to get it just right.
Not only that, you have to close down every peripheral application and back round program so your game wont stutter. But more than likely, you're out spending the equivalent of two new Xboxes on a brand new Nvidia graphics card. So its you who couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
@LukeWesty Thats why when BF3 was released everyone was furious that it looked like complete garbarge because only PC gameplay was shown and fooled all the console chumps.
@LukeWesty Wow, none of you guys know what you are talking about. Most pc versions look better on medium than most console versions today (comparing the same game, there are some ps3 games that looks great). And this is not a fanboyish statement, it's the truth. I own crysis on PC, my brother got it on 360, there is a HUGE difference between the two, and I play on High setting, only have very high on the Water Effects... Get an average of 53 fps according to Mirillis Action.
You see, what you don't understand is that one DOESN'T needa beast of a computer OR crank up the settings to make a game look better on pc compared to console. Sorry, I love my 360, and graphics isn't everything, but since you guys brought it up I thought I give you my two cents about this topic. :)
@Gravity_Slave @LukeWesty How are you enjoying Starcraft 2, WoW, Guild Wars 2, Empire Total War, Anno series and so on and so on. . . Every platform has it's pros and cons, stop acting like an moron.
Yes but game's get higher for perfoming better, why DMC score lower on ps3 than other's. Yet PC never get's out and out better... I just find that strange.
lol how long did you wait to play StarCraft 2? Laughable. And who gives a flying f*ck about WoW and Guild Wars 2? lol you're reaching man...NT

Delivered super fast and in impeccable condition. The rug is the perfect size and the description was spot on. The rug is a good pile so it looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. Highly recommend.
I needed a rug for under a square dining room table (yes, round rug with a square table!). This is just the right size - allows chairs to remain on the rug at all times since it is bigger than the normal 6 feet, but does not overwhelm the room. I wouldn't put down shag in a well used room, but it works well for the dining room.
This rug looks great. I originally bought it for the livingroom but ended up putting in my daughters' room...they have white walls and black carpet and this rug in the center of the floor makes everything else pop!!!!!
I was totally satisfied with this product., color,size and quality were all accurate..It was exactly what I was looking for and went perfectly in the decor of my room. Would not hesitate to order again.
Beautiful rug and great value. Looks much more expensive. The other reviews are correct in that the color is a bit more beige than cream.
This rug is so elegant! I love it. Highly recommend it.
when I received the rug I immediately unrolled it and was pleasantly surprised. It took about an hour for the pile to come up because it was so tightly rolled. But when it did it was thicker and more plush than I thought it would be and very soft. Now I am looking to see what other rugs I would like to get. The pricing on their rugs are very reasonable and will be doing more shopping with Overstock
I bought the round for my sunroom. Just could not ask for anything finer. Love the feel on my bare feet. It gets many compliments
I had searched for an area rug to compliment my dinette area for some time. This rug looks beautiful is of quality construction and lays flat to the floor. The textured pattern is lovely and without flaw. I am extremely happy with this rug and have received multiple compliments!

I am still proud of the team. Team Nepal, better luck next time!!
I am still proud of the team. Team Nepal, better luck next time!!
Midfield is not good, We cannot hold ball for even 30 secs. Defense was always good but this time Anil Gurung is doing good job up front. Last time, Afghanistan beat us, there cannot be any better opportunity than this to take revenge. Lets go, Nepal.
Not really, Last time also we played Afghanistan (I think) in semi and lost in extra time. This have to be our time. With home-ground and die-hard fans, we should beat them with ease.
progress is coming up... good to stop India, attacking unit need to little strong in the front, back line seems ok, needs to work on attacking unit....

Let me ask you this first of all is there a practical difference.
In using chemical weapons.
In a limited fashion all using them as some.
I -- some much bigger fashion as president Assad's father I'll one's data and does that Saddam Hussein one state.
It is it fed a split has here on the part of the Obama administration.
Then yes you cannot -- that day distinction is made by the President Obama won't let me go logical because why cannot you.

Omar Calhoun was sitting in the bleachers at Gampel Pavilion, watching DeAndre Daniels move effortlessly up and down the court. Calhoun knows he, too, will be able to do that soon.
But it has been a long summer, and soon can't come soon enough.
"I went through a point where I Just wanted to be on the court so bad," Calhoun said. "Watching these guys play open, running and everything, I just wanted to be a part of it. I sat down with my family and they told me, 'take care of your body, that's the most important thing.' Once I'm 100 percent I'll be able to get back out there and do what I love and enjoy."
When Calhoun, who will be a sophomore, returns to the court, he expects to show everyone who cares about UConn men's basketball all that he wanted to show them last season. Calhoun had a solid freshman year, starting 29 of 30 games, averaging 32 minutes, 11.1 points and 3.9 rebounds. He had a game-winning shot in overtime at Providence and a score-tying shot at the buzzer against Georgetown on Feb. 27, a classic game the Huskies eventually lost in double overtime.
But Calhoun was playing near the end of the season with a sprained wrist and he played the entire season with discomfort in both hips, diagnosed as femoral acetabular impingement (FAI), which restricted his movement. Early in the season, it was decided Calhoun would play through the problem, then have surgeries in both hips after the season.
Bone was shaved to alleviate the impingement.
"I could have done a lot more if my hips were 100 percent," he said. "I'm looking to show everyone who the real Omar is."
Michael Joyce performed surgery on the left hip in March, the right in April. Calhoun then spent a month on crutches. Since late May, he has been doing the work: riding the stationary bike and the elliptical trainer, working in the pool. He is beginning to do light work on the court, such as back pedaling and occasionally, as he did on Thursday, he sneaks in some light shooting.
"Coach [Kevin] Ollie has spent a lot of time talking," Calhoun said. "He knows I'm coming through surgery and he says he's going to stick by my side and help me get through it. He wants my mental approach to be, 'don't take anything for granted. When I get back out here its time to go to work.' … I'm preparing myself mentally for when I've got my body back, and then I can add the physical part. "
Calhoun was told last week he is on schedule, which means he will be able to resume basketball activities in late August and practice with the team in October. FAI is common among athletes. Former Husky Donnell Beverly and current walk-on Brendan Allen have had similar surgeries.
"Last year, I couldn't move all the way, the way I wanted to offensively or defensively," Calhoun said. "I couldn't make moves the way I wanted to, exploding to the rim. Couldn't get my body right all the time so I could make those moves, finish and explode or the rim, so it stopped me at certain points.
"Now, it's gone. I don't feel anything at all. Little movements I can tell, when I have a basketball in my hand it's going to be lot better, I'm definitely more mobile and flexible after the surgery. We'll see how that translates on the court."
Calhoun, 6 feet 5, came out of Brooklyn and Christ The King in Queens, N.Y. as Gatorade player of the year. At a time when several players were bailing on UConn, with its coaching uncertainty and tournament ban, Calhoun stuck with his commitment.
At times, he looked shaky with the ball, especially against better competition, but as the season progressed, so did he. Calhoun scored 20 against Louisville on Jan. 14, and 21 vs. St. John's Feb. 6, and 15 in the win over Syracuse on Feb. 13.
His three pointer at the regulation buzzer against Georgetown, though, was the highlight. By then, Calhoun was playing with sprained wrist.
"That was a big moment," he said. "I was actually going through a lot, my wrist was injured. I was fighting through a lot in that game, I was able to concentrate and make a big play for our team."
By the end of the season, Calhoun's wrist limited his game significantly and he missed the last game against Providence on March 9. Since the surgeries, he has taken time to reflect on his entire experience.
"Initially, I had to get adjusted to the speed and strength of the game," he said. "It's a lot more organized than the high school level. You have to pick your spots for what you want to do throughout the offense, and you have to always be aware on defense. There are always back screens, some kind of screens going on, and with the scouting reports and everything. … [This coming season] I can do lot more with ball in my hands, getting teammates involved a lot more, more playmaking."
Olander Progressing
Tyler Olander, who had surgery to repair a broken foot, is also progressing, but will probably not be on the court for another month. "They want make sure it's completely healed," he said. Last summer, Shabazz Napier had foot surgery, but then had recurring problems during the season. … Freshman Terrence Samuel has not started classes; he will arrive for the start of the fall semester, he said last Saturday. … Ollie's charity golf tournament, to benefit The Tolland Fund, is set for Aug. 5 at Glastonbury Hills Country Club.

Mint juleps, 5 ways for Derby Day
A collection of 5 juleps, from the contemporary to the classic
Editor's Note: Kyle Ford is R233;my Cointreau's corporate mixologist, co-founder of Ford Mixology Lab and the mixologist at Siro's of Manhattan.
Ah, the mint julep. One of the oldest, most revered and hotly debated fixtures of the drinking world. The name originates from the Arab word "julab," which was likely a medicinal rose water concoction. The modern-day mint julep, however, came about in the early 1800s. Frederick Marryat captured the mint julep best in 1839's A Diary in America:
"I once overheard two ladies talking in the room next to me, and one of them said, 'Well, if I have a weakness for any one thing, it is for a mint julep' - a very amiable weakness, and proving her good sense and good taste. They are, in fact, like American ladies, irresistible."
So, what is a mint julep? Simply: a drink of cognac, whiskey, or rum; sweetened with sugar, iced and flavored with fresh spearmint. A highly ritualistic tipple, I'll leave you to judge which is best.
For each, follow these basic julep preparation guidelines:
In a pre-chilled glass or julep cup, add the syrup and mint leaves. Muddle lightly, just to release the oils. Discard the bruised mint, half pack the glass with crushed ice, pour on the base spirit, stir to chill and top with more crushed ice. Garnish with a bunch of fresh spearmint, stems cut up to the leaves.
That said, I present you with a collection of five juleps, from the contemporary to the classic.
1. Siro's Ginger Julep (Kyle Ford, 2012)
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1/2 oz cognac
- 1/2 oz ginger syrup
- 6 spearmint leaves
- Candied ginger, garnish
"At Siro's, we wanted to present an iconic julep with a unique twist. Spicy ginger pairs beautifully with a high rye bourbon whiskey. Our julep is further elevated with a touch of cognac, in a nod to the drink's origin."
2. Peach Thunderbolt Julep (Charles H. Baker, Jr., 1939)
- 3 oz gold rum
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 1 peach (peeled, stoned, quartered, added with rum)
- 6 spearmint leaves
"The Peach Thunderbolt is named just as much for its effect as it is a place just south of Savannah. While bourbon with peach would be a no-brainer, the Thunderbolt uses instead gold rum. Mixed with fresh lime, mint and peach, this is a sip worthy of old Georgia."
3. Manila Hotel Julep (Monk Antrim, 1926)
- 2 1/2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
- 2 teaspoons rum float
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 6 spearmint leaves
- 4 cherries, garnish
- 1 ripe pineapple stick, garnish
"This julep was discovered by Charles H. Baker in his travels to Manila during American Prohibition, great proof of the drink's popularity and reach. The float of rum and additional fruit garnish make this julep quite delectable."
4. Prescription Julep (Quackenboss, M.D., 1857)
- 1-1/2 oz cognac
- 1/2 oz rye whiskey
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 6 spearmint leaves
"'Quackenboss, M.D.' recommended in Harper's Monthly to repeat this dose three to four times daily until cold weather. Humor aside, this smart blend of cognac and rye whiskey makes for a delicious julep."
5. Old Kentucky Julep (Senator Henry Clay, 1850)
- 2-1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 6 spearmint leaves
"The whiskey mint julep grew in popularity after the Civil War and eventually secured its place as the expected julep standard. This is what you should be sipping come Derby Day."

screen overlay (OSD) function would be nice... so u can see gpu clock, gpu usage, temperature... etc ingame
screen overlay (OSD) function would be nice... so u can see gpu clock, gpu usage, temperature... etc ingame
Frame limiter please!
1. NEEDS a fix for nordic keyboards (this is pretty silly - just give us an easy option to disable hotkeys)
2. Option to see fps on GPU tweak (and in game as well would be awesome)
3. Frame limiter
4. Design it way more minimalistic (I'm talking about the Full skin and the Full widget. Make them more space efficient).
Dont know if its been said but can it have a option to show monitoring on Logitech LCD keyboard displays like afterburner and Fraps do ? If So can you allow us to pick what we show there.
MSI Afterburner's video capture implementation is awesome but-
If GPU Tweak's upcoming video capture featured "3D STEREO capture"...
I would easily return to the ASUS camp! ( Till then FRAPS has the only 3D stereo video capture solution I know of. )
Do not know if the performance FRAPS manages in 3D stereo can be improved? But I suppose any competition to their dominance would be useless/embarrassing if the rates could not at least be == FRAPS?
The last chance I gave GPU Tweak...
The only feature from the ver.1 that seemed unique ( auto alignment of voltage to core ) inspired confidence in ball park figure to begin testing. But is now no longer supported for my card EVGA GTX 480 ( which would be fine if they were not all reference design ) Which gives the impression that development resources are spent defeating advancements.
The performance feedback graphs windows gui had glitches in different type titling and interface overlapping or ending without enough room. Readability overall would be appreciated. The GPUID is nice ROG branded but it seems odd that it came without features? Particularly when you can get a fully featured version with ROG branding? ( I am wondering if I just missed some hotkey to bring in the different tabs? )
Thanks for asking.
Please, I need to add voltage in four HD 7970
Every time I hibernate my PC and I have the monitor window open in "full widget" skin mode, when I reboot it defaults back to the "full skin" mode. However even that is screwed up and covered in black rectangles.
Rampage IV Extreme | i7 3930k c1 | 2xAsus DCUIITop GTX 680 Sli | 16G Corsair Vengeance 1600 C9 | OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 PCI-Express SSD 240GB | 4xWD 500G RAID 1+0 on onboard Intel controller | 4xWD 3TB RAID 5 and 4xWD 1TB RAID5 on HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL | AVerTV Duo Hybrid Tv Card | Corsair HX-850 PSU | Corsair Obsidian 800D
Support for laptops would be great. I'd be able to get a power saving undervolt and underclock on my G73JH for battery and OC when gaming. I'm trying to get as much battery life out of this thing as I can.

FORT MYERS – James McGhee's two-run double gave Pensacola Catholic the runs it needed to secure its second-straight Class 4A state championship and a perfect 30-win, 0-loss season – and likely the unofficial national championship.
The Crusaders beat Miami Monsignor Pace 7-5 at JetBlue Park, the spring-training home of the Boston Red Sox, in eight innings in a game that was delayed more than two-and-a-half hours by rain.
After McGhee's double broke the deadlock, Cooper Jones retired the Monsignor Pace side in order. Jones, a senior, pitched 3.1 innings in relief of starter Nick Helton, earned the win. He also was the winning pitcher in the 2012 championship game and the 2013 semifinal – both against Fort Myers Bishop Verot – for an unlikely three Final Four wins in two years.
Catholic, which has won 35 straight games in a streak that began during the 2012 season, is ranked first in the latest USA Today and MaxPreps national high school baseball polls; with the state championship win, there's no reason to believe that will change.
Evans Bozeman hit his seventh home run of the season in the third inning. His shot with nobody on base cleared JetBlue Park's version of the "Green Monster" in left field.
Crusaders' coach Richard LaBounty has coached Catholic baseball teams to all three of the school's state championships, in 2003, 2012 and 2013. The Crusaders were runners-up in 2004 and 2011.
Catholic is the first Northwest Florida team to win back-to-back championships since Escambia did it in 1965-66. The consecutive championships also strengthen the area's reputation as a hotbed of baseball talent. Since 1953, schools in Escambia and Santa Rosa County have produced 23 state champions and 14 state runners-up. Tate leads the way with seven titles, winning it all most recently in 2005. Escambia has five, but none since 1991, and Pace has four championships, 1985, 1990, 2006 and 2010 – the Patriots were runners-up in 2012.
LaBounty now has won 650 games and three state championships at Catholic. He's led the Crusaders to the state semifinals 11 times and a region final 17 times, including an unprecedented 12 straight. And, he's coached the Crusaders to 14 district championships since 1990.
To honor those accomplishments, the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee approved renaming Catholic's baseball field the Richard R. LaBounty Baseball Complex to honor the longtime coach.

By Charles Broadwell
I've seen the future of Interstate 95, and it's somewhere in Georgia.
At least I hope it is.
That's because Georgia doesn't mess around with the interstate as North Carolina has done with our good stretches followed by bad, our new interchanges followed by bedraggled bridges, from Roanoke Rapids to Rowland.
Georgia does the interstate as it should be done: three lanes each way, north and south, good blacktop, smooth sailing, no questions.
Our patchwork approach means we face many years and many billions in bills to pay, if we want our stretch of I-95 to live up to its billing as the Eastern Seaboard's main north-south corridor.
You've heard that before, for 10 years or more. So now what?
Do we, as our state's transportation planners recommend, put up tolls to help cover construction costs? They say there's no better way to pay the freight since our highway fund is otherwise tapped.
I don't know how Georgia did it, but North Carolina has such a large network of state-maintained roads to support, from farm-to-market routes to urban highway loops, including the one that's finally making headway around Fayetteville. Our relatively high gasoline tax can't bring in enough pennies, particularly since that fund has been subject to state budget-balancing maneuvers.
Nobody likes the prospect of tolls. I know I don't. I know most eastern North Carolina business owners don't, either, and I've heard politicians from both parties, including Republicans from the western part of the state, say they don't think the I-95 corridor should bear the brunt of tolls.
We have to do something to clear the congestion.
Based on my interstate drives lately, I'd suggest just starting on the bad areas. I'm talking about towns like Dunn and Lumberton that are wrapped around the highway, with their spaghetti-like interchanges and crosstown traffic snarls. Focus there, make it safer, then tackle choke-point sections of Cumberland, Harnett, Johnston and other counties.
Then maybe we can continue the great toll-booth debate.
Either that, or consider farming it all out to folks in Georgia. They figured it out many miles ago.

MA+ - THE SECRET TO HEALTH, BEAUTY & LONGEVITY!* As the "Master Antioxidant", MA+ lays down the ultimate foundation to start building a healthy, more youthful body starting today! By delivering a powerful "one-two-punch" in each and every dose, MA+ goes to work quickly to detoxify damaged cells and create new, healthy cells so your body will have the ammunition it needs to promote cellular health, boost defense mechanisms and slow the aging process. * HOW DOES MA+ WORK?* The MA+ proprietary whey protein formula is a precursor to Glutathione, a tri-peptide of amino acids. Acting as a "spark" to ignite the Glutathione Antioxidant System (GSH), MA+ can begin it's function to rid the body of toxins and develop new, healthy cells.* From the time we are born up unto the age of about 20 years, our bodies produce normal, healthy levels of Glutathione, so our life span looks pretty good during this time in our lives. But gradually, our bodies begin to lose the ability to produce the ultimate protector - Glutathione. Had we taken care of raising our production of Glutathione early on, our lives could be potentially extended not only in years...but quality as well. MA+ -- RAISE YOUR BODY'S OWN ANTIOXIDANT LEVELS TO 90%+!* There are thousands of antioxidants in the marketplace today - in the forms of supplements, foods and juices. Although most of these products provide healthy benefits to the body, they most likely are missing GSH - the factor that is most important to raise Glutathione levels to a healthy 90% and above level. In fact, not only is MA+ the single, most important antioxidant you can buy - but it also raises assimilation levels of all other antioxidant-rich foods, juices and other supplements!* The result?

A fool is a classic English dessert made by folding puréed fruit into whipped cream. In this recipe we add refreshing mint and tangy plain yogurt to balance the rich cream.
This tangy and versatile vegan nut cheese is perfect to use on a sandwich, panini or bagel. It also goes well with roasted vegetables, grilled mushrooms and tomatoes.
Spoon this hot chocolate mix into jars to give as gifts, or keep some on hand in your own pantry for chilly afternoons. For a burst of flavor, try steeping a bag of mint or almond tea in the mug along with the hot chocolate.
Summer sandwiches don't get more satisfying than this one with meaty grilled swordfish and juicy tomato squash salsa. Salsa can be made a day in advance, and try any leftovers on a grilled cheese using 365 Everyday Value Colby Jack.
Have breakfast in bed with our french toast made with delicate challah bread, top with fresh or thawed frozen berries and plenty of maple syrup.
This brown rice dish, cooked with puréed pumpkin and vegetable broth, yields creamy, risotto-like results.
These sweet, spicy, slightly salty nuts make a great snack, appetizer and garnish for salads and desserts. Once cooled, they'll keep in an airtight container for a week or two.
This creamy, addictive condiment could taste so familiar it just might have you singing an old burger jingle. Try it with grilled meats and veggies, too.
Older kids can learn to make these themselves, and younger ones can be helpers. Remember to be careful with knives and sharp blender blades.
Adding ground flax offers a healthful boost of omega 3s, fiber and protein.
Light and flaky, halibut is an ideal choice for a simple summer dinner. Here halibut steaks are marinated in a watermelon-raspberry vinaigrette, quickly grilled, and then topped with refreshingly tart watermelon salsa.
The kabocha squash, with its striking jade green rind, makes soup preparation a snap since there's no need to peel the skin. Serve with a thick slice of crusty bread for a warm, satisfying meal.
For a delicious lunch, fill pita bread halves with this tangy bean salad and top with shredded lettuce.
This dish is spiced with garam masala, a blend of aromatic spices such as cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. Serve with naan or other soft flatbread. Since tofu sometimes sticks to the skillet when pan-fried, use a nonstick skillet if you have one on hand.
There's nothing like a cup of icy cold gazpacho for a perfectly refreshing summer lunch on a blistering hot day. (Truthfully, we love gazpacho on lukewarm days too!) Flavorful tomatoes are key here--don't attempt this recipe with unripe tomatoes.
Add a sweet and spicy Asian note to the holidays with this effortless chicken dish. The savory spice mixture seals in the natural juices and ensures superbly tender meat, and the honey butter glaze adds a delightful finishing touch.

THE CURRENT CINEMA review of "Seven Psychopaths" and "Holy Motors." "Seven Psychopaths" is an unstable mess filled with lunatic invention and bizarre nonsense, and some of it is so spontaneous that it's elating. It was created by the Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. In "Seven Psychopaths," an alcoholic screenwriter, Marty (Colin Farrell), is goaded by his actor friend, Billy (Sam Rockwell), into contacting a variety of murderers and using their stories in a script. By the end, however, the spilled-marbles approach wears thin. Director Leos Carax has worked on and off with the French actor Denis Lavant for more than twenty-five years. In their new movie, "Holy Motors," Lavant, in the person of a wealthy banker, is driven to Paris, where he leaps out of his limo in the guise of a stooped, elderly woman. And so it goes, through seven portrayals. The film keeps starting over and the surreal high jinks also kill any interest in the story.

Media Blows Hot Air About Dinosaur Flatulence
It sounds like perfect journalist bait: Earlier this week, a new Current Biology paper proposed that the accumulated output of dinosaur farts could have changed the global climate. You could hardly ask for a better story. Dinosaurs are ever-popular media darlings, and the science of sauropod farts is just silly enough to grab the public's attention. Too bad sources like FOX News, Gawker and the Daily Mail issued some rather noxious stories about the research.
The paper itself, written by researchers David Wilkinson, Euan Nisbet and Graeme Ruxton, is an exercise in short but serious speculation. For a long time, the digestive biology of sauropods has confounded paleontologists. Sauropods had small teeth good for gripping, nipping and plucking plants, but not for chewing or otherwise mashing up their food. How they broke down the masses of plant food they must have required is a mystery. For a time, swallowed stones called gastroliths were thought to be the answer, but recent reviews of the evidence have failed to turn up any indication that stones ground up food in sauropods' guts. Instead, some paleontologists have gravitated toward the idea that sauropods had vast communities of microscopic organisms in their stomachs that broke down the incoming plants. This microorganism-assisted fermentation could have produced methane, and as Wilkinson and co-authors point out, sauropod farts would have been the end result.
Since emissions from cows and other livestock contribute greenhouse gases to our warming atmosphere, Wilkinson and collaborators wondered if sauropods might have had a similar effect on the Mesozoic world. To find out, they paired estimates of sauropod population size derived from the fossil record of the roughly 150-million-year-old Morrison Formation—the geological slice in which Apatosaurus, Diplodocus, Barosaurus and other Jurassic giants are found—with an estimate of how much methane each dinosaur would produce based on observations of modern rabbit and guinea pig emissions. Assuming that ten Apatosaurus-size sauropods lived per square kilometer, and that half the world's land area was inhabited by dinosaurs, Wilkinson and colleagues found that the giant, long-necked dinosaurs would have produced 520 million metric tons of methane annually. In their estimation, this is comparable to the amount of methane that we're currently pumping into the atmosphere each year. The researchers conclude that so much dinosaur flatulence—in addition to greenhouse gases from fires and other sources—might have created and sustained the relatively warm world of the dinosaurs.
But we don't know for sure. The new research relies on a stack of assumptions and is, at best, a rough model. We don't know what the gut flora of sauropods was like; therefore, we don't know whether they farted at all. And small, mammalian herbivores such as rabbits and guinea pigs are unlikely to be the best models for sauropod emissions. Living dinosaurs and their cousins aren't much help here. Modern avian dinosaurs don't fart, and I haven't seen any research on whether crocodylians—the closest living cousins of dinosaurs as a whole—produce methane-rich eruptions. (If you know about croc fart research, please chime in.)
It's not unreasonable to wonder about dinosaur digestive products. Paleontologist Tony Fiorillo speculated about hadrosaur gas at a 2010 American Geophysical Union meeting. Perhaps fortunately, our ability to investigate dinosaur farts is severely limited. Furthermore, paleo-blogger Jon Tennant names a number of other problems with the back-of-the-envelope calculations at the heart of the paper—including the estimates of sauropod abundance worldwide—and rightly concludes that the paper is a "crude analysis."
The media coverage has been even cruder. In the past month we've had vapid reports of aquatic dinosaurs and alien dinosaurs, but at least three news sources decided to up the ante with additional bad reporting. Fox News led off with "Dinosaurs may have farted themselves to extinction, according to a new study from British scientists." Wrong right out of the gate. Wilkinson and co-authors didn't say a thing about dinosaur extinction in their paper. Not to mention that the idea doesn't make any sense. Titanic sauropods were around for about 130 million years. If their gases were so deadly, why did it take so long for the world to be overwhelmed? The Fox News gloss isn't even a misrepresentation of what the researcher said. The story's headline and lead are outright fabrications. And the same fiction was repeated on the network's late-night roundtable of chattering commentators, Red Eye.
Gawker simply recycled Fox's bad air. "A new study from British scientists published in Current Biology suggests the dinosaur infraorder known as sauropods may have actively contributed to its own extinction through excessive flatulence," wrote site contributor Neetzan Zimmerman, who linked backed to the Fox News item. News aggregation and snarky commentary are popular right now, and in cases like this, lazy and sensationalist reporting can rapidly be echoed across the web. Although I'm not going to give the typically awful Daily Mail credit for independently misconstruing the paper's results.
The Daily Beast's Daniel Stone and PZ Myers of Pharyngula tore into the media coverage earlier this week. There's sadly no shortage of facepalm-inducing reporting, but it's even worse when news sources are so enamored with a punchline that they simply make up conclusions. Not that I expect Fox News, the Daily Mail, or Gawker to stop blowing hot air whenever the opportunity arises.

Ahem. That is a Saurophagnax, unless the sign at the Albuquerque Museum Of Natural History, where that diorama is, is wrong. I know that's an Allosaur species, but it's the biggest species of allosaur and is due proper recognition.
These dinosaurs couldn't possibly blow more hot air than southern politicians who are waging a war against science, dinos, monkeys and evolution. Read about the absurdities being taught to children in the south by the holy lighting rod of creationism at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/04/pulpit-in-classroom-biblical-agenda-in.html
@charles222: I think the validity of Saurophagnax is in question.
Actually this isn't all bad. The reporting might have been dreadful, but getting Fox et al. to talk about gaseous emissions causing global warming for a week is a major achievement.
This idea has a fairly long pedigree that seems to be missing from the Wilkinson et al. paper and from the, er breathless, press coverage at least from what I have seen.
A 1991 GSA abstract by Karen Chin, and coauthors Simon Brassell., and RJ Harmon titled, "Biogeochemistry and petrography of presumed dinosaurian coprolites: implications for dinosaur herbivory and Cretaceous carbon budgets" proposed that methane emissions from dinosaurs might have played a role in Cretaceous warming.
This abstract, which so far as I know never saw publication, got picked up by the San Francisco Chronicle and then ran in other AP outlets. Search Google News Archives for "Dinosaur dung produced Earth-warming gas" for a string of them.
On the methane output of extant archosaurs, Tennant chides Wilkinson et al. for using tortoises as one datapoint for their model, but I'd actually say that's not a terrible place to start, though I agree that rodents and lagomorphs are probably of limited utility.
Hackstein and van Alen published a pretty landmark review of methane emission from vertebrates: Fecal Methanogens and Vertebrate Evolution. Evolution, Vol. 50, No. 2 (Apr., 1996), pp. 559-572.
According to that study, Crocodilians do emit substantial amounts of methane, though not through farts but through outgassing from feces. This is interesting because predatory mammals as a rule do not produce substantial amounts of methane.
Some large herbivorous birds, like (some) ratites and geese also emit significant amounts of fecal methane. -
Thank you for this post!
What's the saying? "Friends don't let friends read Gawker." Although, to be fair, its sister site IO9 ran a post debunking the "farting to extinction" story, citing PZ Meyers as its source. Apparently they don't read one another's stuff over there.
You will find little hope improving the three outlets you cited, given their business models are based on sensationalism over truth. What frustrates me more–being in the business myself–is when supposedly respectable media outlets slap together lazy science stories, or just parrot from questionable sources (like the Daily Mail).
Anyway, enough about dino farts. Why haven't you written about dinosaur fossils being dangerously radioactive because of the nuclear bombs aliens used to wipe them out? I saw it on The History Channel, so it must be true: http://www.history.com/shows/ancient-aliens/videos/playlists/season-4-full-episodes#ancient-aliens-aliens-and-dinosaurs
The popular media stinks at reporting science.
Since when was the use of gastroliths by dinosaurs invalidated? It always seemed like a solid hypothesis. The living archosaurs – birds and crocodiles – utilize gastroliths, so why not dinosaurs?
"For a time, swallowed stones called gastroliths were thought to be the answer, but recent reviews of the evidence have failed to turn up any indication that stones ground up food in sauropods' guts."
I wouldn't say that, given the following quote.
Quoting Sampson ( http://www.amazon.com/Dinosaur-Odyssey-Fossil-Threads-Life/dp/0520269896/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1 ): "Nevertheless, occasional sauropod skeletons do show appropriately sized cobbles within the rib cage, suggesting that rock-filled gizzards may have been part of the digestive solution for at least some of these dinosaurian giants."
"Since when was the use of gastroliths by dinosaurs invalidated?"
Since it was falsified that those rocks found alongside sauropods aren't actually gastroliths due their proportional small size and smoothly polished surface instead of rough surface.
'Wings, Oliver & Sander, P.M. (2007): No gastric mill in sauropod dinosaurs: new evidence from analysis of gastrolith mass and function in ostriches.'
@charles222 Gotto stick up for Saurophaganax, and the his meal, Seismosaurus, deserves a little respect too
