With the unveiling of SteamOS — a forked distribution of Linux dedicated to running the Steam platform in the living room — a vocal majority online is expecting Valve to follow up with the announcement of their own, branded "Steam Box" hardware. It's not happening, it never will, and here's why.
Prior to today's announcement, it felt like every media outlet on earth was publishing articles with headlines like "Valve to unveil Steam Box on Monday!" I'm aware that Valve has two remaining announcements this week, but a Steam Box isn't one of them.
The initial proof is right there in Valve's introductory paragraph to SteamOS: "As we've been working on bringing Steam to the living room, we've come to the conclusion that the environment best suited to delivering value to customers is an operating system built around Steam itself."
In terms of pushing Steam into the living room, Big Picture Mode was a tentative foot in the door, and SteamOS is a much more confident step. But it's enthusiasts, boutique PC builders, and OEMs who will propel gamers through that door, not Valve themselves.
Linux is open source software, and Valve is billing SteamOS as a "cooperating system." On their blog, Valve reiterates that designing hardware is not their long game: "With SteamOS, 'openness' means that the hardware industry can iterate in the living room at a much faster pace than they've been able to."
What pace are they referring to? Well, we've seen a proliferation of small form factor gaming PCs such as the Tiki from Falcon Northwest and the Piston from Xi3. A dozen different case manufacturers are pushing new mini-ITX enclosures. But simply plugging a smaller computer into your TV is far from an elegant solution.
Putting a free operating system into the hands of creative hardware manufacturers and system integrators that focuses on Family Sharing, in-home streaming, and is explicitly designed from the ground up for use on a big screen? That's a different animal entirely.
Valve's platform and primary source of revenue is digital distribution. Even their own game franchises like Portal and Left 4 Dead are secondary. It's in their best interest to enable developers to sell more games, and hardware makers to sell more hardware to play those games on.
Gabe Newell and company are staunch Linux advocates, and you can be assured that they've been hunkered down developing middleware and tools to aid publishers and developers in bringing their titles to Linux — and in turn SteamOS.
Right now SteamOS is dependent on Windows to stream a user's entire Steam library to a so-called "Steam Box." But mark my words: Valve's long game is to erase Windows from the PC gaming equation entirely. To that end, it's in their best interest to open up their toolbox to partners, not to create a closed ecosystem or hardware environment with their own branded box.
I'm willing to posit that yes, Valve has developed their own Steam Box — as a reference design only. This is common practice in the industry, and we've already seen it from companies like AMD and Nvidia Nvidia as blueprints for integrating chipsets like Tegra 4 and APUs.
Everyone has also forgotten that Valve laid off a significant portion of their hardware design team earlier this year — probably because said reference design was near completion.
So, let's stop waiting for Valve to pull back the curtain on a non-existent Steam Box. Instead, let's anticipate that free SteamOS download, and build our own.

Gosh, Tet. I've been pretty scarce this week. I apologize. Just needed a bit of a break from the 'puter. I'll not be able to catch up over the weekend either because we're breaking in the little trailer this weekend. Finally. Headed out to Ocean Shores. Do some beachcombing - things from the Japanese earthquake/tsunami are washing up. Never know what we'll find! (I'm wishing for stuff that's easy to sell ;)). If anything exciting is spotted, I'll get pics. And I promise I'll check in more next week.
Good Friday to all. The weekend is in full sight. Hope everyone will have a safe and good weekend. May Mother Nature co operate for all who desire to garden or do summer activities.

Hilbert Beats Altoona at Medaille
- Release Date:
- February 24, 2013

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
BUFFALO, NY – The men's volleyball team got back on the winning track today grabbing an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference win from Penn State Altoona before the Hawks suffered a league loss to Medaille College, who served as host of the tri-match.
Hilbert improved to 4-11 overall while Altoona dropped to 3-13 having suffered a 3-set loss in the opening game to the 13th ranked Mavericks (9-6).
Hilbert worked fast in the first match, taking a 25-14,25-16 and 25-22 victory over the Lions, who earlier this season beat the Hawks in Hamburg. Adam Weaver dominated the net hitting 17 kills with only 2 errors. Providing key support offensively was Fred Sickau who finished with 10 kills (.350) and 2 solo blocks. David Mellerski had 33 assists while Scott Ross and Weaver were each credited with 3 service aces. Korey Schwab led with 9 digs and Ryan Ratajczak added 7. Hilbert earned 40 kills, 7 aces and 5 blocks.
Medaille controlled the pace of the match earning 25-16,25-18 and 25-17 set scores as they maintained their national rankings in Division III volleyball. Weaver was Mellerski's primary target at the net, securing 27 assists on the Outside Hitter's 14 kills. Weaver also stole 3 more service aces from the Mavericks and Sickau snuck 2 aces in as well while Anthony Blasz carried the defense with 7 digs.
At the time of the article, Weaver leads the United Volleyball Conference in Kills (206) and Kills Per Set (4.38) as well as Service Aces (25). Ryan Ratajczak holds down the 2nd slot in Digs (144) and Digs Per Set (3.06).
The Hawks return to action Wednesday when they host Elmira College (9-8) who is currently ranked #11 in Division III men's volleyball.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

Buono fortuna!
Uptown Grayton's Little Italy will reopen Oct. 19 after a fire closed its doors in February.
Owner Sergei Petrov says the wait is worth the reward, and that the new restaurant will return better than before.
"We are coming back with a new logo, a new restaurant, and a renewed menu," said Petrov, who originally opened the restaurant a year and a half ago.
Before a fire damaged half of the 60-seat ristorante, Little Italy's insalata, pasta dishes, and traditional desserts won over the 30A community.
A pizza oven explosion, however, put a cork in business for eight months.
But for those whose mouths have been watering at the thought of Little Italy's lasagna, the wait is over and the restaurant will reopen Oct. 19 under a new name, Sergio's Little Italy.
But though the moniker will be changed, the Italian dishes will remain authentic and hand-created.
Chef Patrick Mulcahy will be the mastermind behind these from-scratch dishes, including daily risotto specials, an abundance of veal dishes, and a variety of Italian pastas.
He said all of it will be so "delizioso," he would have a hard time recommending a must-have dish.
"Take your pick," he said. "It's all going to be fresh, it's all going to be fantastic. It's all going to be hand-cut, hand-pounded."
Everything will be made in-house, from the pizza dough to the sauces. Only the pasta will be imported — but from Italy.
Mulcahy, who grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Massachusetts, has been perfecting his Italian offerings for more than 25 years, from the first time he made gnocci from scratch.
"I've been cooking all my life," said Mulcahy, whose pastry chef mother and a chef father imbued him with a love and talent for the culinary arts.
Petrov says he is excited for customers to try all of what the chef prepares, most especially his tiramisu.
"He made it one time for an Italian lady turning 90," said Petrov. "She said it was the best tiramisu she's ever had."
He added with a smile, "I expect it to be really good."
Those dining at Sergio's Little Italy will be treated to what Mulcahy calls a half-trattoria, that is, a kitchen open halfway onto the dining room.
"It's so guests can look in there and say 'wow,' " said the chef. "It will be really good food, service, atmosphere, and entertainment as well."
And in less than a week, guests will see thin-crust pies emerge from a brand-new stone pizza oven.
The pizza oven is finished with beautiful green mosaic tiles, which compliment the rest of the space, redecorated in a green and brown motif, and dotted with whimsical touches like chandeliers made of wine glasses.
The ristorante will be open at its Uptown Grayton location, 50-1 Uptown Grayton, Tuesday and Wednesday for dinner starting at 5 p.m. From Thursday through Saturday, Little Italy will be offer unique menus for lunch, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and for dinner, from 5 p.m. Until March, the Italian restaurant will be closed Sunday and Monday.
For more information, visit the Little Italy Facebook page or call 231-2139.

We wound up with unexplained infertility and it took us almost exactly a year to get pregnant with our second (we found out a few days after her first birthday). At the time, the waiting was so difficult. In retrospect, I'm so thankful that I had that year to be a mommy to her- it wasn't the way I anticipated that I would be a mommy to her, but I was. And in that year I got to make traditions that are just hers and mine that I've carried through over the years. It was nice for me and her to have that only child time and now with her lil' bro here and expecting our third, I still really cherish the time that I filled just thinking about her and doing things in her honor.

Buy a Gun & Keep Your Powder Dry: Economists Warn of Looming Economic 9/11′ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite recent reports that the U.S. economy is recovering and that there are signs of economic growth, some analysts are less than thrilled with what they see in the near future. In fact, theyre downright scared.
Harry Dent, author of The Great Crash Ahead, believes that the global debt bubble is going to burst and when it does, there will be a massive market crash. It should be noted that this is a revision of his earlier prediction that a crash would hit in 2012. He says he modified his forecast because the global central banks have been pumping the markets with so much money, stocks have been given a temporary boost. But he warns that as soon as the short-lived boost comes to an end, the crash will be hard.
This will be a repeat of 2008-09, only bigger, when it finally hits, Dent told USA Today.Gerald Celente, a market analyst at the Trends Research Institute, believes Americans should brace themselves for what he calls an economic 9/11. He blames policymakers for their inability to solve the worlds financial and economic woes, according to the USA Today report.
Once the meltdown hits, he says, it will lead to social upheaval, anti-government sentiment, a devalued U.S. dollar, and skyrocketing unemployment.
Celente wont rule out another financial panic that could spark enough fear to cause a run on the nations banks by depositors, USA Today reports. That risk could cause the government to invoke economic martial law and call a bank holiday and close banks as it did during the Great Depression.
Prechter predicts that the major U.S. stock indexes, such as the Dow Jones industrials and Standard & Poors 500, will plunge below their bear market lows hit in March 2009 during the last financial crisis, USA Today reports. The brief recovery will fail as it did in the 1930s, he says"
Celente advises investors to buy gold it wont lose its purchasing power when the dollar tanks. Also, he says, buy a gun to protect yourself from marauders in search of food and money. He also advises people to plan a getaway to places with more stable finances and governments.

McClure Center Interns pursue academic and career goals while working at the Idaho State Capitol
by Paige Orwin
The goal for many students is to find a position after graduation that will help them make a name for themselves in their field. Some, however, get their chance early.
This year, at a meeting between area legislators and university leadership, Representative Cindy Agidius and others indicated that internships were on the table.
Provost Katherine Aiken moved quickly.
"At UI we want to provide internships wherever possible and this seemed like a good opportunity. I thought the McClure Center might be a place to facilitate this quickly and it turned out terrific, I think," Aiken explained.
The James A. and Louise McClure Center for Public Policy Research at the University of Idaho, named after a prominent US Senator, was founded to promote interdisciplinary cooperation and research in government. In the spirit of this mission, two students from different departments were approached for the task: Josh Weistaner, a junior majoring in political science, and Chloe Rambo, a senior in journalism who will be graduating this May.
Weistaner saw it as a professional opportunity. "I thought that working for the Idaho Legislature would be a great, hands-on opportunity to learn how government truly works," he said.
Rambo agreed, but also had more personal reasons: "I'm a sucker for any opportunity for adventure and travel!"
The internships are all that and more, designed to match academic and career goals for each student. The first day: walking up the stairs of the Capitol building, and realizing such an impressive and historic structure would be their workplace for the next four months.
"I was definitely jazzed," said Rambo, "and am still jazzed every time I walk through those doors."
She functions as a full-fledged Capitol correspondent, attending daily meetings and hearings and collecting as much information as she can to pass along to the editors of the Argonaut. She tweets, takes photos, writes stories for the paper, and records audio bites for KUOI.
"It's quite an adventure getting to know the Capitol when newsworthy moments are happening what feels like every 10 minutes," she said. (Read a recent Argonaut article written by Chloe)
Weistaner primarily does research for legislators that need information on certain bills, but has also branched out into a broad variety of other tasks. "Anything," he reports, "from going on a tour of state prison, to working with lobbyists discussing ideas to strengthen bills, to creating power points for testimonies."
While their specific tasks may differ, the overall experience remains the same: awe-inspiring, eye-opening, and worthy of passing on to others. When asked if the opportunity had enhanced their respective educations, both Rambo and Weistaner responded with a resounding "yes."
"I went into this thinking I knew so much about how government works," said Weistaner. "Turns out I did not even know half of it. There are so many things often overlooked by everyday citizens that are actually major issues."
Rambo agrees. "This experience has taught me that journalism is so much more than classwork and lectures—successful journalists are constantly practicing their craft and developing their skills."
What's next for these interns? After graduation, Rambo plans to travel before finding a position with a non-profit, preferably one that allows more traveling. "I'd like to bring together my passions for communications, writing and finding and emphasizing the positives and individual aspects of communities," she said.
Weistaner, for his part, plans to become a lawyer. After his experience with the legislature, "I am also now considering running for office at some point later on down the road."
"I have developed great relationships with a variety of legislators," he added. "Not to mention the half a shoebox full of business cards I have received from people outside the capital building."
Sounds like a promising place to start!

My arms are covered in bruises, aubergine and plum fading to the color of the autumn leaves that have woven an elegantly golden carpet outside our window since we began this adventure. My muscles ache and it is harder to stand up straight after lowering another carton to the ground and I am reminded that I am not as young as I was the last time we did this. Carton after carton, rolls of white tape scattered throughout the house and a never-ending search for the last magic marker I had just been clutching now where did I use it last, for heaven's sake?! And on the other side of town the busy bees are energetically flapping their wings, all in a flurry to finish the last touches to our new home.
As you may know by now, we have moved. Yes, three long, grueling months from that wedding anniversary on which we became the proud, excited owners of a new apartment, stars in our eyes and big glamorous visions dancing in our heads, to the day we moved; three harrowing months of ripping up carpet, scraping and sanding and waxing old wood parquet, knocking down walls, plastering and painting, all in a mad dash to conclude before that fateful day when nothing would be forgiven. Three arduous, wearisome, glorious months of endless traipsing back and forth from old home to new, between installing kitchen cabinets and packing up our belongings, between hauling plasterboard, mud-colored carpets and old pieces of furniture to the dump and dragging bag upon bag of books to the used bookstore praying they will say yes. We sawed and hammered, measured and re-measured, haggled over kitchen designs, sink choices and tile color. We spent endless hours at Ikea, choosing, checking and rechecking, some of us being rushed bodily through the interesting sections displaying pots and pans, colorful sheets and fuzzy blankets, wondrously sparkling luminaries, straight to the kitchens where we made our choices before being questioned by our son, our own personal architect and toughest critic. Evenings less than romantic wandering the aisles of the industrial-sized hardware store, less home improvement than home correction, analyzing flooring, my hands caressing each possibility, perusing wall sockets and extension cords, arguing over the vital necessity of this tool or that we really do need one of these!
And we worked. And worked. We tore it down and slowly, slowly built it back up. We watched our home blossom and grow before our very eyes. One gorgeous floor after the next, one glossy kitchen cabinet after the next, one wall satiny smooth and glowing after the next. We counted down the dwindling days as clothes were folded and pushed into suitcases; we checked off the boxes on our calendars as each book was dusted off and lovingly placed inside a carton; we stopped grocery shopping, much to the son's chagrin, in order to eat all the food out of the refrigerator and freezer, supplementing our diet much too often with pizza, kabobs, sandwiches from the corner bakery and fast food – yes, fast food – all washed down with cola, beer and many bottles of wine. Time pressed, punctuated by bumps in the road, glitches in the plans, a leak here, a broken something there, but on we pushed, fast and furious. Three weeks then two weeks then one as we watched the plumber install shower and tub, the sink still standing alone and forlorn in the middle of the livingroom floor surrounded by tool chests and paint cans and cabinets still to be installed. We had become accustomed to being besmudged and besmeared with plaster dust and wood dust, sticky with paint and glue. We no longer had the time nor the luxury for arguments and bickering and finger pointing, we just had to get the job done.
And Marty…poor Marty. After his brush with death, his surgery and hospitalization, poor little Marty was feeling the anguish as the cartons piled up around him and began closing in. He lay silently all day, curled up into a tight little ball in his very own poof, hunkered down and defending his territory; evenings he sought the solace of his maman's arms, hopping up and claiming ruling status as I kerplopped into my corner of the sofa, collapsing after an arduous, exhausting day. But on we trudged, slogging on day after day, the boxes piling up ever higher until that fateful morning, that momentous ring of the doorbell when the moving men arrived.
Yes, we have moved. Two long stressful days of watching men both burly and lanky lift and haul out cartons, manhandle my best coats and favorite blouses and skirts, wrap up paintings and furniture and push it all out the window, place it precariously on the platform to be lowered down and shoved in the vans. And two days of them huffing and puffing up four flights of stairs balancing boxes on their shoulders and dumping them willy-nilly throughout the much-too-tiny new space. And we have moved, and now find ourselves neck deep in our belongings, trying desperately to find a place for everything and everything in its place. We have made a tiny little oasis of our bed and lie luxuriously late into the morning, making the best of the calm and the quiet, until Marty comes to snuffle and snort at the door. And then we get back to it again.
Not yet quite ready to unveil the spectacle, our new home, not until the countertop is cleared, the livingroom floor walkable, the bedroom and office presentable to curious eyes. Until then, we toy with the idea of simply leaving everything as is, piled haphazardly wherever it just happens to have been dropped, living as bohemians, hippies, or just two crazy old people who live packed in among their every belonging.
And of course, we now are familiar with all of the local Happy Hour spots. Methinks we will become habitués.

I was reading SKs letter about the story and I found a passage about an unintentional similarity between The Simpsons movie and UTD that would be good to paste in that thread about 11-22-63 being similar to a Twilight Zone episode
Unless there's deliberate copying (sometimes known as "plagiarism"), stories can no more be alike than snowflakes. The reason is simple: no two human imaginations are exactly alike.
wow...after all those lists, i feel all sort of paltry...
i've read three this year...a reread of The Shining...The Wind Through The Keyhole and i just finished The Mist for the 4th time ever
does it count that i've already read them all...every one of them...many more than once ?
Don't feel too bad, Guido.....
I think I've only read two SK books this year. Carrie and Firestarter.....both first time reads for me.
However, I read several other authors as well....usually two or three books per month.
~ New Year 2013 ~
I haven't read anything fully yet as the year has just begun,
I can't wait for the arrival of Doctor Sleep and Joyland.
I also plan on reading Cell, Full Dark No Stars, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, The Talisman and Black House this year.
Last year, I read a few select of Mr. King's short stories, including Crouch End, and N. I also started Under the Dome. This year, I've begun a listen to my IT audiobook (over 40 hours long, so it's definitely providing hours of entertainment) and I've begun reading 11/22/63. I'm about halfway finished that one. I hope to get a lot of SK reading done this year. I call myself a fan but I don't think I've read even half of his books. Shame on me!

I got this as a Back 2 Mac shade, almost as an afterthought – and I am impressed! It's crazy pigmented, and the shade is so flattering – much more so than I expected.
It can be hard to get a crisp line straight from the bullet, and one does NEED a clear line with a shade like this. The upside is, it's so matte that I can go outside my natural lip line and it will stay there. It's not drying or hydrating – I dab a little lip conditioner over the top after about 4 hours and I'm good.
It really creates a classic, pin-up look – AND it does actually makes my teeth look whiter (no, really!!).

I have very fair skin with yellow-neutral undertones, and this lipstick looks so flattering on me! It's matte so not the most moisturizing formula, but it's not drying either and doesn't really tug or pull when applying. It is very long lasting, I wore it for my wedding banquet (+10 dishes!) and only had to reapply at the end. Although it doesn't tend to bleed, I use with MAC Cherry lip liner to get a very defined edge. Super recommended!
A beautiful shade of red! I have warm toned skin and this is still very flattering on me. It's my darker, sexier shade of red (Lady Danger is my bright red). Even though it's not a hydrating lipstick, it's very creamy when it goes on and it's opaque in one sweep. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great, versatile red.
Fantastic red that suit most skin tones. On my lips, it's as a cool tone red as much as a berry-ish red.
Long lasting and easy to apply.
A perfect dupe for this is Maybelline ColorSensational in Red Revival (645). The same shade but with a glossier finish. It doesn't last as long on the lips, though.
Russian Red Lipstick is medium-dark red with mostly neutral undertones, though against my warmer skin, it reads just a little cool-toned. It has a matte finish, and it is part of the permanent range. Maybelline Very Cherry is lighter, more blue-based. MAC Runaway Red is darker, more blue-based. MAC Such Flare! is deeper. Guerlain Habit Rouge is lighter and more orange-toned. MAC Prolong is more blue-based. Guerlain Garconne is darker. (9, 10, 9, 10, 4.5, 4; A)

Kakuta has spent this season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem in Holland and has previously had temporary spells with Fulham, Bolton and Dijon.
He made the move to Stamford Bridge from Lens as a highly-rated teenager in 2007 and was tipped for a bright future with the Blues, but he says he now has more realistic ambitions.
The 21-year-old believes the size of the Chelsea squad makes it difficult for young players to break into the first team and he is keen to stay at Vitesse next term.
He said in The Sun: "I don't dream about Chelsea anymore - I used to, now I know better.
"I hope I can join a club like Vitesse next season, where I can play every week.
"Chelsea have far too many players. At my age I need to play regularly but if I go back I'll just get 10 minutes a month and I don't want that."

Classic Fit JAG Lightweight Denim Pull-On Jeggings 6 6
Loved these Classic Fit JAG "jeggings Ï have wanted to try the JAG pants for several months but hesitated about the fit. They are just right and I plan to purchase more in the near future. December 24, 2013
Comfortable, far better weight than the original,which was much too heavy and stiff. October 21, 2013
Not a good fit These jeggings are short in the waist and oversized. Will be returning. October 14, 2014
Not for average size person I ordered up 1 size as recommended and found the fit in the legs adequate (not tight at all like leggings should be) but very short in the crotch and length. I'm 5'41/2" tall and the length was very disappointing. August 6, 2014
Too short If these were made in Talls, I would possibly try them again. Made for much shorter legs than mine. October 27, 2013
Great pants I love the fit and style of these. I will be buying more! November 11, 2013

text: NARS Bolero Velvet Matte Lip Pencil ($24.00 for 0.08 oz.) is described as a "pink cantaloupe," while the Velvet Matte Lip Pencil formula is all about "rich pigment" delivered via a "jumbo-sized crayon" that imparts a "velvet matte finish." It's supposed to be long-wearing without being drying, while still being creamy. This shade has been added to NARS' permanent range.
