A THIEF has stolen a charity box from the counter of a York shop.
The blue and orange cardboard charity box was raising money for St Leonard's Hospice and was on the counter of the Co-operative Food store until last weekend, when a male customer is believed to have stolen it while staff were distracted.
Mark Porter, manager of the Co-operative Food store in Broadway, said it was unclear how much money was in the box, but it was almost full of coins.
Mr Porter said: "While any theft from our store is taken seriously, we are especially disappointed that someone would steal money being collected for a local hospice. We would appeal for anyone with information to come forward."
A spokeswoman for North Yorkshire Police said officers had attended the store and an investigation was underway.
She said CCTV footage from the shop's security system had been seized by officers and would form part of the investigation, but no arrests had yet been made.
Anyone with information which could help police with their investigation is urged to contact North Yorkshire Police on 101 and quote reference 12140044061.

Bacova gains Burlington bath biz
April 22, 2002,
GREENSBORO, NC Continuing the divestiture of consumer businesses in an effort to restructure its Burlington House division, Burlington Industries sold its bath consumer products assets — including certain inventories and intellectual properties — Friday to Rocky Mount, VA-based space-dyed yarn supplier Ronile.
"The transaction is done, and now we're in the transition stage," Bowers said. "We will begin shipping the products from our Low Moor, VA, facilities. Prior to that, we've made provisions to keep inventories in Burlington's Stokesdale, NC, facility so that there is no interruption in customer service to our retail partners in bath."
Phillip Essig, president and ceo of Ronile, said the merger represents one of many milestones for the company.
Bath is the second business Ronile takes over from Burlington in less than a year. In mid-June Ronile acquired Burlington's area, accent and scatter rug and door mat manufacturer division Bacova and its 374 employees.
"This represents our first step to grow Bacova through acquisition," Essig said. "From the start we viewed Bacova and its successes in the market as a terrific platform on which to build a leading consumer products company. The bath business products are a perfect complement to Bacova decorative rugs and mats."
Under this deal, Ronile is again taking another Burlington veteran, Kathy Fowlkes, who will retain her position as business manager for the bath division.
"I'm very thrilled, and I know it will work out very well," Fowlkes told HTT. "It will be a marriage between the businesses. And for me, it's like going back to where I was."
Prior to the merger, Bacova was producing almost 90 percent of Burlington's bath rugs, all domestically. For the small remainder of its assortment, Burlington was sourcing some special offerings from India.
The bath accessories, most of which are made of ceramic and resin, with some offerings available in wood and metal, come from China, Thailand and India. Embellished shower curtains are sourced from Turkey and India, and the printed varieties are imported from Pakistan and also made domestically. "We will continue to have Burlington represent us as a manufacturer of cloth and fabric for shower curtains," Bowers said.
Bath towel ensembles are all made domestically and start out as either velour or terry blanks and are subsequently embroidered, given a fabric band or given a heat transfer print for design.
"Where possible we will continue to use our domestic assets to produce [our bath products], but we will look globally to enhance the line for design, color, product development and manufacturing," Bowers said. "We feel like the bath business has a strong synergy to our rug business, and we can become more important to our customers and the marketplace if we offer a crossover of products."
Also, as part of the deal, Bacova will retain Burlington's licensing partnerships with artist Sue Zipkin and Gatchel Clarke Designs.
To accommodate the new bath division, Ronile recently leased a 70,000-square-foot space adjacent to its existing 335,000-square-foot facility in Low Moor, VA.
Burlington's bath division currently carries about 250 active skus, or 25 complete collections. The new site is large enough to hold at least double that volume. "And we hope to do a lot more than that as we grow the business," Bowers said. "This space is big enough for us to grow considerably."
Bacova is also relocating its headquarters from leased offices at Burlington's Greensboro, NC, headquarters to a new space in High Point, NC. Bowers, Fowlkes and the rest of the eight-person executive staff is currently moving there.
"We want to take advantage of the High Point market, ultimately," Bowers said.
Burlington, until recent months one of the nation's major home textiles suppliers, has been steadily cleaning house of its different domestics businesses. Most recently, aside from its deal with Bacova, Burlington last week signed a definitive agreement to sell its residential upholstery fabrics division to Richloom Fabrics Group (see related story above).
Earlier, in March, Burlington and Springs Industries cut a deal — which to date is still being settled in courts — whereby Springs would buy Burlington's former bedding and window businesses.
Remaining under the Burlington House division of Burlington Industries is the decorative converter fabrics and ticking businesses, neither of which is consumer-oriented.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
By BOB LITTELL
A year ago, I was fortunate to meet Steve Bistritz, who lives in the Atlanta area like I do. Steve and his co-author Nicholas Read had written a great book called "Selling to the C-Suite – What Every Executive Wants to Know about Selling to the Top" (McGraw-Hill – 2010). The book, already in its third printing, is about how salespeople not only can get meetings with C-Level executives at major companies and with business owners of mid-sized businesses, but how they can be invited to stay there and become a permanent advisor and confidante within a company's inner circle.
Steve happened to attend a couple of my monthly "Don't Need to Read the Book" (DNTRTB) book club meetings – where I call the author of a great business book and, with his or her permission, write my own 15- to 30-page summary of the book. Everyone who RSVPs that they will definitely come to the meeting gets an advance copy of my summary. At the meeting, after the 30 to 40 people who attend give a short introduction of who they are and what they do, we break into groups of five or six and discuss some key points from the summary, which I also lay out ahead of time so people have time to think about them.
When Steve gave me a copy of his book, I was fascinated and offered to make it one of the books I would summarize. When we held our DNTRTB book club meeting to discuss Steve's book, we had one of our largest turnouts ever since the topic is of great interest to every sales professional trying to move up in selling to higher-level executives and business owners.
But what also happened was that as Steve learned more about the NetWeaving concept, which I had created over a decade ago, he realized that what he and Read, his co-author, suggest as successful strategies within companies is exactly how NetWeaving strategies have proven to work successfully externally.
As anyone knows who is already working in this upscale market, selling to top corporate executives, as well as to successful business owners of larger family and privately owned companies, requires a totally different approach than the usual one seen in lower-level B2C sales – to individual consumers. This is primarily due to the unique way that these high-level executives and entrepreneurs think and operate, as well as the way they have often arrived at their current status, which requires a different method of entry. They also often have gatekeepers or layers of direct reports between them and the sales professional, which makes a direct approach difficult or sometimes impossible.
Also of great importance is the degree to which very top execs have delegated decision-making authority to other C-Level execs within the company or organization. In some situations, this might not even be a C-Level executive, but a highly respected person within the company at a lower level. You may think you're talking with the key decision-maker because you're playing golf with the CEO only to find out you've violated the territory of the chief operating officer who feels you went around him or her, and without realizing it, you've lost.
As Neil Rackham points out in "Spin Selling":
"Salespeople who still cling to this traditional role (I call them 'walking brochures' – take your pick) are failing everywhere. In their place, the new salespeople are highly skilled value creators, who live by ingeniously solving customer problems. The measure of these new salespeople is the value they create and, to create maximum value, they must understand the issues and concerns of the C-suite customers."
According to Steve and Nicholas, the real key to selling to C-level executives and successful business owners is to become a valued-added resource to the "relevant executive" or executives within the company. The relevant executive is the one who has the most to lose if things don't go well on a particular project you've identified, or the most to gain if a home-run gets hit.
Steve's background, as a very successful IBM sales exec, taught him that if they could create and nurture a trusted ongoing relationship between the IBM account manager and the relevant executive within the company, that relationship became permanent and almost bulletproof from competitors.
As I learned more about selling to the C-Suite and Steve learned more about NetWeaving, we both began to recognize how NetWeaving strategies and action steps have turned out to be some of the most powerful tools for providing "value added" services to these C-level execs and business owners.

AFTER starting the season as outsiders flanker Matt Garvey believes Bath Rugby have earned the right to be considered serious contenders for the Aviva Premiership title.
Garvey was one of five players sin-binned last Saturday in the fiery 18-17 victory away to West Country rivals Gloucester, who also had two men sent off and finished the game with 11 players.
Bath trailed 17-11 at the death but despite the chaos enveloping all around them Garvey insists they never lost their focus or their belief – eventually earning a penalty try that George Ford converted for the win with a minute remaining.
The victory cemented the club's place in the top four, five points ahead of Harlequins who kept the pressure on with a vital win away to Sale Sharks.
And ahead of the visit of Worcester Warriors on Saturday, who are fighting for their lives at the bottom, Garvey believes Bath have matured into a force to be reckoned with.
"Stuart Hooper, our captain, has spoken about us being on a journey together," said Garvey.
"We had new arrivals in the summer and other changes and we've been on this journey but now the journey is at an end and we've earned the right to push for honours and hopefully we will do that.
"The Gloucester game was a tough game, it was about keeping our heads at the end and staying calm and we managed to do that.
"It was always going to be a difficult game and we were prepared for that. There's a great belief in the squad and there was a great belief that we could get the try we needed and we did that."
Harlequins' defeat of Sale knocked the north-west side back in the race for the top four and Bath's visit to the Stoop on the last weekend of the season looks increasingly likely to decide the destination of the final play-off place.
Before then Bath play hosts to the Warriors this weekend and then face a visit from title-chasers Northampton Saints on May 2 and Garvey hopes they can wrap-up fourth spot before they head to London.
"The important thing was the win at the weekend and again this weekend because it keeps it in our hands with Quins putting a run together," added Garvey.
"We've got another tough game with Worcester and then we've got Northampton and then the last day we've got Harlequins so it's a big finish.
"Hopefully by the time we play Harlequins it will have been decided – it would be good to have got fourth place before we go down there."

House fire leaves one man injured
EUREKA- A fully involved house fire on F and Oak Street has left one man injured and in the hospital. Crews from Humboldt Bay Fire found the fire fully involved when they arrived on scene just after 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
The male occupant of the home was found in the backyard of the home and taken by ambulance to St. Joseph's Hospital. Battalion Chief William Reynolds said he may need to be transferred to an out of area hospital for his injuries.
Dark plumes of smoke were visible miles away from the blaze. Reynolds said the house is a total loss. The two neighboring homes were threatened, but crews were able to minimize damage and save both buildings.
Four fire engines with 17 firefighters helped to fight the structure fire that took crews 20 minutes to extinguish. F Street was closed and later reopened while crews were on scene.

NORTH Yorkshire County Council's children and young people's service is well-designed to protect children, according to inspectors.
In a report published on the authority's arrangements for the protection of children, Ofsted praised North Yorkshire for rising to the challenge of new higher national expectations.
Inspectors said that during their wide-ranging review of services, they found not a single case where they felt a child was unsafe.
North Yorkshire is one of the first authorities to be inspected under the tougher regime, one of only nine so far to have been checked.
Out of those nine, four have been judged inadequate and five, including North Yorkshire, as meeting the standards adequately.
Coun Tony Hall, said: "The inspection report confirms that we get our priorities right, that we know our strengths and weaknesses well, and we're always pushing ourselves to the next stage."
"Most of all, it tells us that we prevent harm and we keep children safe, the most important things we do."

It goes in a script tag in the head. It is JavaScript code.
Have you tried any of the example links in the Content Demos section of the plugin homepage to see if it works without having to make any changes? According to that page, once the plugin is activated it should be ready to use.
Agarcia831 - What you see on that page works perfectly without any changes if your only working with images. I want FancyBox to load a HTML page, in which I have to put the script into the head of the page. I'm going to get some test page whipped together hopefully in a day or two and try it out !

Lord McAlpine will receive a payment of £185,000 after a settlement was reached with the BBC over false claims made in a Newsnight report, his lawyers have confirmed.
The terms of the agreement will be announced in court in a few days' time, according to RMPI LLP, the solicitors to the former Conservative Party treasurer.
Lord McAlpine said: "I am delighted to have reached a quick and early settlement with the BBC. I have been conscious that any settlement will be paid by the licence fee-payers, and have taken that into account in reaching agreement with the BBC.
"We will now be continuing to seek settlements from other organisations that have published defamatory remarks and individuals who have used Twitter to defame me."
A BBC spokesman said: "The BBC has agreed terms with Lord McAlpine to settle his claim of libel against the Corporation.
"The settlement is comprehensive and reflects the gravity of the allegations that were wrongly made."

Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. The surest way to kill a good SURFING forum is to inject politics and/or religion so STFU
Funny how a thread originally started about a 306knt wind speed ends up as a political debate.
I do have one more thought though............how about we change the name of the country to "United Socialist States of America" USSA for short, and redesign the flag to look similar to the old Soviet Union flag. Instead of Obama being called The President, we can rename the position to Czar. We probably can find some old leftover flags over there real cheap seeing as the budget deficit is so high................oh yea, I forgot, that experiment already failed several times, damn..............:rolleyes:
That "scientist's" online petition is a joke. It asks you to check a box saying you're a scientist who disagrees that human COs emissions are harmful and then says 31,000 scientists have signed the petition.
cool, you complain about conservatives saying liberals are brainwashed then you go to to state that a position you don't agree with is a 'joke'.
I am done on this topic the country is **** and the world is going to hell. On a better note: The winds are crazy and so is the surf in my part of town. Waiting for the clean up. Cya!
Indead we are my friend, and if the libs get there way we are only going to fall further into the abyss......................

A rough running motor or lack of power can be caused by a failed distributor cap or rotor, ignition wires (or their resistors), or valve cover gasket leaks. If the valve cover gasket leaks, oil can pool where the ignition wire resistor connects to the spark plug. The resistor can fail and the spark plug may not fire because of a short circuit through the oil.

Niall100 - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkWe got the 604T, and its fast, but they have a lot work to do on there own made app's. Most off them arent working as supposed. Add some extra ram and the cpu goes out of control. Use Boxee with extra ram and cpu goes up to 100% (Adata as been tested by Asustor). And loss all your data after some reset due impossible to talk to machine due overload cpu.
About the app's tested by Asustor but not made by Asustor they telling people to go to makers website. I think when you use the asustor machine in a business place and use it for some streaming. I would say to Asustor dont let app's be a part off your machine if it gives problems. And yes you should not lay back on just 1 backup, but you dont want to have problems on one NAS every day since your other backup "NAS" my fail also.
As can read on there own forum they are working to fix the memory problem fast. Though it seems they have not tested there own hardware. Not even with Adata ram as Asustor says that it should work.
I have trust in Asustor, but they need to fiks some huge problems first, pitty they have dropped it on the market to soon.
love to test beyond Reply

Scoperta Moves Again
March 10, 2008,
Scoperta, the decorative textiles and home textiles trade show that runs concurrently with Proposte, will move its location to Chiasso, Switzerland, its first home during eight of its 11 years.
Last September, Bill Davis, head of Scoperta organizer Trade Link, said the exhibition would be held in Como, Italy, next door to Cernobbio, the site of the high-end Proposte decorative fabric exhibition at Villa Erba.
Then in December the location was changed to Fiera Milano, the expansive exhibition center in Rho, Italy – a distance of some 45 minutes portal to portal. Scoperta planned to provide mini-bus service, chauffer-driven Mercedes limos and even helicopters to expedite visitors between the two sites. The Fiera Milano site was deemed to be a better locale than the Como one, Davis said at the time.
Returning to its roots in Chiasso at Palapenz, will cut the travel time to 10 or 15 minutes, Davis said. The show will be housed in the main hall as well as in a temporary structure with a total of up to 60 exhibitors. Visas will be necessary for visitors to Switzerland and from outside the E.U. But he noted that with the easing of visa requirements at the end of 2008, "it is anticipated that the border controls between Italy and Switzerland will be quick and easy."

Child Abuse and Neglect
Child abuse and neglect is any harm to a child that is not an accident. Child abuse and neglect is also called child maltreatment.
Child abuse and neglect takes many forms.
- Neglect is when parents or caregivers fail to ensure a child's health and well-being. Neglect may result from not providing a child with appropriate shelter, schooling, clothing, medical care, or protection from hazards. A variety of short-term and long-term problems result, such as developmental delays and failure to thrive.
- Physical abuse causes bodily injuries, such as bruises, burns, fractures, cuts, punctures, or organ damage. Physical abuse includes harming a fetus, such as when a pregnant woman has substance abuse problems or is purposefully injured. Some states do not consider the use of substances by a pregnant woman to be physical abuse.
- Emotional (psychological) abuse is a repeated pattern of intentional verbal or behavioral actions or lack of actions toward a child that give the message that he or she is worthless, flawed, unloved, unwanted, endangered, or only of value to meet someone else's needs. Withholding emotional support, isolating, or terrorizing a child are forms of emotional abuse. Intimate partner (domestic) violence that is witnessed by a child is also considered a form of emotional abuse.
- Sexual abuse is any act with a child that is intended to sexually gratify an older child or adult. It includes any sexual activity that a child does not comprehend or consent to, or that is against the law. Exhibitionism, voyeurism, and exposing a child to pornography are also types of sexual abuse.

Beanstalk DelightLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Jack, of Beanstalk fame, had been given some coloured beans. He shared them out among his friends and they planted them. What colour bean was each given, what colour beanstalk grew from each bean and how tall did they grow?
No beanstalk's colours included the bean's colour from which it grew.
Humpty was impressed with his multi coloured beanstalk (not grown from an orange bean) that grew taller than Bo Peep's beanstalk by at least a metre.
The beanstalk grown from the orange bean grew exactly twice as tall as the bean that Goldilocks planted.

text: WASHINGTON ( TheStreet) -- President Obama observed Memorial Day Monday with a call to Americans to honor the sacrifices soldiers have made for their country. Following a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, the president said that some Americans are disconnected from those sacrifices. "Today, most Americans are not directly touched by war," the president was quoted saying by The New York Times. "As a consequence, not all Americans may always see or fully grasp the depths of sacrifice, the profound costs that are made in our name." President Obama also reminded American's that "our nation is still at war," in a reference to the war in Afghanistan, the Times reported. The president noted that this year is the 60th anniversary of the end of fighting in Korea, and he offered a "special salute" to veterans of the Korean War, the Times said.

Awhile back I found an online recipe for marinated chicken drumsticks and did a bit of an adaptation a couple of nights ago. The main ingredients are salt, olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano, but I substituted lime and added some basil and a little white wine...because they were handy.
The chicken marinated for about a day before I put the drumsticks in the rack and filled the drip pan with sliced mushrooms...because they were handy.
I had a good idea of what I'd get with the chicken but was unsure about the mushrooms.
Doneness-wise everything was fine but I should've salted the drumsticks before putting them into the marinade; I think they would've had better flavor and the mushrooms would've turned out better as well, but overall they were pretty good. There's always room for improvement...

A HOLLINS woman is celebrating after being reunited with her wedding ring she lost six years ago.
Louise Daveron had long since given up any hope of finding the gold band which had fallen from her finger while out walking near her home with her dog.
But the ring had been lost much nearer to home after it was discovered in the driveway of her house in Woburn Drive which she shares with her husband Paul.
Louise believes the ring was unearthed when she recently planted a tree in the front garden.
After a good clean, the sparkling piece of jewellery, which has an elaborate woven design, is back on her hand once again.
Louise recalled: "Six years ago I'd been in Hampson Mill Lane and that is where I thought it had dropped off my finger.
"Afterwards, I kept looking around second hand shops as I was convinced that someone had found the ring and then sold it.
"I've been married for 17 years and I was very upset that I'd lost it."
But Louise was stunned when she saw the long-lost wedding ring lying in her driveway, after digging up earth to plant a tree.
"I am absolutely over the moon at finding it, said the 51-year-old. "I really thought I would never see it again."
Now a replacement wedding ring which she has worn for the past few years will be sold in aid of charity lendwithcare.org which provides loans online for people in Ecuador, Malawi, and Cambodia.

Jennifer Lopez…why do you always have to look so stunning? Seriously? After I was just making a point on Twitter that there wasn't anything really interesting about the Met Ball…then I see you. I see you with this awesome fauxhawk hairstyle. One that I think I'm just going to have to recreate one day.
If you're wondering why she rocked a fauxhawk (fake mowhawk)—she was embracing The Metropolitan Museum of Art's upcoming exhibit "Punk: Chaos to Couture." It was the theme of the night for the ball. On a side note, I really want to see this exhibit when I'm in NYC this summer!
And the leopard print dress? It's Michael Kors.
OK, back to J.LO's hair. So, if you loved her look and are thinking about recreating her fauxhawk, then you're in luck. The people over at L'Oreal Paris gave us tips on how you can do it yourself.
Below you'll find instructions from L'Oreal Paris Brand Ambassador and Celebrity Hairstylist, Marcos Carrasquillo. He even offers product recommendations to get this look.
So what do you think? Do you see a fauxhawk in your future?
How to Get Jennifer Lopez's FauxHawk Updo:
- Pull your hair into a high ponytail at the crown of your head. Spray the sides and front with L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray and comb through it to tease your hair and give it a polished, voluminous effect. Make sure not to touch the bangs as this will be done as the last step.
- Use hot rollers to curl the bottom tips of your hair and pin them to the crown of your hair, leaving them in place for 15-20 minutes.
- Once, the hair is fully curled-comb each side very tight and pull your hair as if you're creating a high ponytail. Spray a lot of hairspray to the sides to tighten.
- Tease your bangs and use L'Oréal Paris EverStyle Texture Series Energizing Dry Shampoo to give it texture and spray them with hairspray very lightly and twist them to the back-giving them a swoosh effect.
- Pin where needed to recreate the punk look.
- Quick Insider Tip: Marcos recommends to use the new L'Oréal Paris Feria Wild Ombré to recreate J.LO's subtle ombre golden hair color.
Product Recommendations:
- L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray

27 When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, 28saying, We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,* yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you are determined to bring this mans blood on us. 29But Peter and the apostles answered, We must obey God rather than any human authority.* 30The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. 31God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Saviour, so that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
33 When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them.

The 25 October, 2007, edition of Le Point, a well-known French weekly news magazine, carried an article titled "Save Darwin!" The article in question described how science and life sciences teachers were setting up an educational campaign aimed at those teachers who "feel themselves inadequately prepared" in the face of pro-creationist activities. The target of this campaign, and the subject stressed in the report is "Atlas of Creation that recently irrupted into a large number of schools."
This report, one of hundreds that have appeared in France regarding Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation, reveals the shock effect it has had on the French public. It also reveals how helpless even those who teach the theory of evolution are in the face of the evidence in the Atlas. It is no longer possible to save Darwin, and by extension the theory of evolution bequeathed by him. The true facts have been revealed, and the false masks worn by those who lied in the name of science have been torn away. And Charles Darwin has gone down in history as the founder of the greatest scientific fraud in the history of the world.2008-07-10 21:56:09

Clark shines at second day of SEC outdoor championships
Published: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 12:20 a.m.
Redshirt freshman Jimmy Clark won the men's 10,000 meters in stunning fashion Friday, overtaking Arkansas' Solomon Haile in the final 200 meters to capture the Gators' second title of the 2013 Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships, adding to Kyle Strawn's men's hammer throw crown.
Clark's time was 29:44.54, biding his time until the final lap to score 10 points for Florida.
Clark's title is the fifth 10,000-meter crown in men's program history and the first since Mike Blaney in 1987. Clark is the first freshman to win the men's 10,000 meters in UF history.
Florida's men are leading the way after two days of competition with 35 points. The Gator women are fourth with 14 behind leader Arkansas, who has scored 21 through Friday's events.

I made some smoked Andouille and I wanted to share the process with everyone. Making sausage is fun and you don't necessarily need a lot of expensive equipment. I'll put the particulars of the process after the photos.
Smoked Andouille Sausage Recipe
2 lbs boneless pork loin
3 lbs boneless pork butt
2 Tbsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. black pepper
2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. white pepper
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. onion powder
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 level teaspoon Instacure #1
1 cup ice water
Cut 3 lbs of the pork butt into 1 inch cubes and then grind them with the coarse plate of your meat grinder. Alternatively you can process with cutting knife in food processor. If you choose this method process on high for approximately ten seconds, or until meat is a coarse ground consistency.
Cut 2 lbs of pork loin into small chunks about 1/8 inch square. This will be easier to do if the pork is very cold or still partially frozen.
Mix the spices and cure with the 1 cup of ice water.
Pour the spice, cure and water combination into the ground and chopped meat and mix thoroughly. Make sure there is even distribution of all the spice and cure.
Stuff the meat and spice mixture into 35-38 mm natural pork casings. Refrigerate the linked sausage overnight. This will allow the sausage to cure and for the seasonings to meld.
Smoking Sausage Step 1
Drying Sausage
Remove the sausage from the refrigerator at least one hour before smoking. This will allow the sausage casing to dry, resulting in a more even color when smoked. If the sausage has not dried completely pat dry with a paper towel before smoking.
Smoking Sausage Step 2
Apply The Smoke
The smoking method, time, and temperature are a personal choice. I like to smoke at a fairly low temperature of 200* to 225* with pecan wood. I know some people who prefer smoking at higher temperatures and that's okay. I choose the lower temperature because I fell there is less shrinkage. Regardless of what smoking method you use make sure the sausage has reached 160* (some people say 165* should be the minimum temperature) before removing it from the smoker.
Smoked Sausage Step 3
Cooling Down
Once your sausage has reached the correct internal temperature (160 degrees F.), it needs to be cooled quickly and thoroughly or the casings will shrink and shrivel. This happens quickly once the links are taken from the smoker, so you need to have things in place . The goal is to cool the sausage down to 120 degrees as quickly as you can.
Set up an ice bath in your sink, ice chest, or large tub that is clean and sanitized. To sanitize surfaces use 1 tablespoon of chlorine bleach to each gallon of water. Allow surface to air dry.
Place the smoked Andouille sausage into the ice bath and cool until internal temperature reaches 120*.
Smoked Sausage Step 3
To assure an even deeper and more uniform color though, you Andouille now need to "bloom" it. Blooming is letting your sausage dry at room temperature before you package it for storage. The longer you bloom the deeper and darker the color will become. In most cases, 1 to 2 hours of blooming is best.
I hope you enjoyed this thanks for looking.

I gave birth via Caesarean operation and had gained much weight after breastfeeding. Is it safe to do some exercise when at times I feel pain even though my son is 2 years old now?
I gave birth via Caesarean operation and had gained much weight after breastfeeding. Is it safe to do some exercise when at times I feel pain even though my son is 2 years old now?
Dear Kheam,
The recommendation is that the first 6-8 weeks following a c-section are important for healing. A c-section is a major operation. However, after this time a woman can gradually build up her exercise regime. You could start with brisk walking and aim to join an exercise class in a couple of months.
Two years postpartum is a long time to still be feeling pain. Where exactly is this pain and what does it feel like? I would advise that you see your doctor because you should have been able to exercise comfortably for well over a year.
Generally, breastfeeding mums find that they lose weight quicker than mums who do not breastfeed. However, you do need to exercise each day and eat a healthy, balanced diet for this to take place.
Please do see your doctor about the pain you are experiencing. Take it slowly and make gradual changes to your diet and daily exercise regime and you will get there.
With warm wishes,
It's strange that you feel pain after 2 years. I think you should ask a doc for help. I advise you to go yoga class. It is an excellent choice! Yoga will help you lose weight and it is perfect for your inner world. Good luck!
Hello LJ,
Thanks for these.
Yes, I know that tow years is long enough however, at times that I get involved physically I could feel some pain on the area where I was operated.
I would agree that I need to see my doctor on this.
Best regards,
Hello Numb,
Yes, even me for one find it strange however, I could feel some pain. Yes, you are correct that I need to see a doctor regarding this.
Best regards,
I hope it goes well with your doctor Kheam.
Best wishes,

If you are seeing more and more of your elderly family members on Facebook, you are definitely not alone. But what you probably did not know, is that using Facebook may actually help them improve their memories.
According to research from the University of Toronto---and published in the journal Psychological Science--Facebook may help them enhance their recall abilities.
The study in Canada looked at more than 200 older adults with an average age of 67, compared to younger adults with an average age of 19.
In the experiments, they tried to memorize a list of 20 words and were tested on them shortly afterward. They were told there would be a surprise test 15 minutes later.
In those 15 minutes, the participants were shown line drawings on a computer screen and asked to push a button when the most recent picture was the same as the one before. Some had words on them, while others had gibberish words--in a similar fashion to what you see on your Facebook feed. However, they were told to ignore the words and only identify matching pictures. Only ten words were repeated, so researchers were able to tell if recall for those words was better.
Younger adults performed better on recall-only task. But older participants remembered just as many words that were mixed in with drawings as the younger adults did. When the words weren't mixed in with drawings, the older adults had a tougher time remembering them.
This suggests that as brains age, they may have a better time recalling things when there's a distraction, because it seems they can remember both relevant and irrelevant information. Researchers said it seems to minimize age-related forgetting.
Prior research in the past suggested adults who are trained on Facebook actually improved their cognitive performance by up to 25%.

There are quite a number of unusual applications of the English language on the Tron Wiki. I've just seen usage of the words "real world" switched to "Real World", reverted, and found them switched back to upper case again. That strikes me as odd. Wikis are generally an attempt to be an authoritative text on a subject and that tends to lead to formal use of the language where applicable.
In the case of "real world", these links might shed some light:
- Answers.com - A question asking about the word "world".
- Ancient World.org - Second paragraph: "At the right is a picture of the ancient world." There's an example where "ancient world" is being applied in the same context as "real world" here on the Tron Wiki.
"User" is another one that appears with a capitalised "u" all too frequently, and I'd say incorrectly, for the same reason that "Real World" is incorrect. None of us go around writing, "I am a Person" (formally), so what is the reason for writing, "Kevin Flynn is a User"?
Ditto for "program".
I was under the impression that the way these words should work would be common knowledge. I'm actually quite puzzled by many people's departure from English (and English wiki) standards here. -- WarBlade 06:28, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Meets expectations
iPhone cases in Apple, AT&T or even at the mall cost $20 or more. I purchased this case for less than $$$. It's not the fanciest case. It's very plain but it was easy to put on, stays in place and protects the phone. My phone fell since I've had this case and it did not scratch or crack so it seems to be quite durable. It suits me perfectly and is perfectly priced.Read More

Owen Pallett on the Game of Life
Life is probably more like a game of Tetris: it gets harder and harder and harder, and then you die.
The last time Owen Pallett came to Australia, we started out talking about his prolific career as a composer and solo artist, but ended up discussing evil corporations, his personal Frankenstein's monster and how the simple life of a rural theist can be enviable to an atheist fag from Toronto.
At the end of the interview, I asked the musician - who had shed the Final Fantasy moniker for his latest album - if he believed that buying into religious fantasies, or even losing yourself in video-game fantasy worlds, was a necessary coping mechanism for us all in an uncertain world. He replied, "Well? I feel that theism is rooted in trying to impose order on what is essentially completely chaotic, but in the case of Dungeons and Dragons, you're taking the pursuit of something and attributing the result to a series of dice roles. But video games have endings where you're crowned or ascend to heaven or live happily ever after, right? Well, I think life is probably more like a game of Tetris: it gets harder and harder and harder, and then you die." In light of this, I asked Pallett to share a few more of his upbeat video game-inspired life lessons with Oyster.
Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon taught me that in the future, most people will be working as janitors, bartenders and Monolith Burger employees, and that there is no shame in that.
Out Of This World taught me that CERN's particle accelerator is a dangerous idea and somebody - anybody - must stop them before they turn this planet into a black hole.
Ico taught me that no matter how good your intentions, your actions will cause an ancient castle - likely deserving of Heritage protection - to collapse into the sea.
Portal taught me that no matter how well you tell your story, people will only remember your catchphrases.
Call of Duty 4 taught me that nobody likes a happy ending - tragedy is all our futures and it should be in our art as well.

Kinda true.
This board and the Nashville Mini-Swamp spun off from the Swamp, and yet the Swamp still lives.

I just took a quick look at the other Monkey Chat board and accidentally fell asleep. However, anyone interested in gel flavor discussions, more pictures of MJ with his shirt off, or a rehash of the GBD's mental illnesses, then head on over.
That being said, this board is even more boring.
only be sadder if you also trolled the Monkey Chatter boards.
That's what I was referring to. You mean there's another Monkey Board?
HTFU, Thunder. You're such a crybaby!
God forbid you occassionally lurk at the Nashville Striders board, too.
You guys actually do that? That is pretty sad.
who does that?
It's okay Shan. I understand us Nashvillians are like...pretty much the most awesome people you could ever hope to meet.....at least the ones that showed up to run with you this past Saturday. Those are the only ones that matter, anyway.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/11/2013 (1383 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Last summer I went on an intense Breaking Bad binge. As the meth-and-morality epic headed into its final episodes on AMC, I tore through the earlier seasons on Netflix, desperate to catch up.
And then I was caught up -- which meant, suddenly, after having everything my own way, I had to wait days for the next instalment. My first impulse was to go into a Walter White-like rage, stomping around the living room and roaring, "I am the one who decides when to watch."
Forced to surrender my on-demand viewing model -- which is increasingly the way we experience media these days -- I gave in, at first grudgingly, then gratefully, to the slow pleasures of anticipation, to the exquisite build-up of suspense, to the weight and heft of a communal cultural experience.
This is one of the modern paradoxes of time. The technologies that increasingly offer constant connectivity and endless information, which allow us to control and carry around and individualize our media, all add to the illusion that we somehow order time. In fact, time orders us, and the effect of these technologies is to make most of us feel even more pressured and distracted, hurried and harassed.
Our culture's peculiar, passive-aggressive relationship to time is examined in The Clock, an astonishing masterwork that's on view at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. This 24-hour single-channel video by Christian Marclay, a Swiss-American artist now based in the U.K., is made up of thousands of movie clips featuring watches and clocks. Since its 2010 London debut, The Clock has been a massive popular and critical success all over the world, a fabulous love-child of blockbuster cinema and high art.
There are only six editions of The Clock. Each is shown only under highly regulated viewing conditions. The work is precisely keyed to local time. If it says 2:17 on the screen, it will say 2:17 on your watch. And yes, that means if you want to watch what's going on at 3:48 in the morning, you have to attend one of the WAG's 24-hour screenings, which have been mandated by the artist. There was one at the start of this month, and there are two more to come.
The work is shown in a darkened, muffled room, a kind of platonically perfect hybrid of art gallery, living room and old movie palace. You can recline on one of 12 IKEA couches, another requirement specified by Marclay.
These parameters aren't just control-freakery on the part of the artist, but an integral part of the work. The Clock is beautifully, brilliantly about cinema, as Free Press movie critic Randall King has written. It's also about time. It forces us to reckon with time, not just in its content (clocks and watches galore) but in its form. The Clock shapes time in its minute-by-minute chronological dissection. It's also shaped by time, given a complex, cumulative power by its 24-hour run. This is a work that demands duration, and there's no way to sneak around this.
Because of its synched time, The Clock means watching without shortcuts. There is no fast-forwarding, no skipping, no rewinding. You can't view it on your phone or catch bits on YouTube. (Well, you can hunt down a couple of clips, but they're meaningless in their massacred form.) You can't cram it into your multitasking workday or binge on the weekend on some pirate site from eastern Europe. The Clock isn't user-driven.
It is addictive, though. Once you hand yourself over to The Clock's temporal strictness, you're immersed in a profoundly pleasurable, almost erotic viewing experience -- a long-drawn promise that is endlessly deferred, a series of overlapping, ongoing stories that never quite tip over into resolution.
With its relentless (and literal) clock-watching, the work has a tick-tock urgency, an inescapable sense of time racing past. But, weirdly, it also offers an absolutely luxurious sense of suspension, of time somehow set apart from the daily crush of demands and deadlines. Viewers of The Clock commonly relate that they intended to stay for maybe 20 minutes and somehow ended up cocooned on those cushy couches for hours -- appointments and obligations and parking meters be damned. In today's overscheduled, overloaded world, The Clock offers a rare and irresistible opportunity to just sit and watch time pass.
So far, my own viewings have been reluctantly ended not by waning interest but by the impingement of external commitments -- a family chore, a job or just the usual press of the day. When I knew I finally had to leave, the clocks on the screen seemed to become bigger and louder, the characters' watch-checking anxiety seemed to become my own, as movie time started slipping over into actual time.
And once I was back in the busy-busy-busy-ness of my typical 21st-century life, I was suddenly, sharply aware of the constant reminders of time -- on my phone, on my computer, on the dashboard of my car. These digital readouts seemed both uglier and more insistent than The Clock's (mostly) analogue versions.
The modern world measures and standardizes time in the belief that we can control it. Time, meanwhile, has a sneaky way of getting its own back. Marclay's work is an extraordinary expression of this eternal stand-off, and that's a very good reason to stop watching the clock and start watching The Clock.

Pretty ridiculous for a gamer that doesn't care about noise.
I got my non-reference 290 for $366 including a $20 rebate that arrived last week. I wear headphones and it's been stupidly quiet (and relatively cool for Hawaii, ~80C). I almost regret spending the extra $65. Reply
trichome333 - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkYup, got mine for 229 plus 30 MIR. XFX DD, its a sexy card. Reply
JimmaDaRustla - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkI don't get this article - it starts out stating that the R9 280 has dropped significantly and the price of $249 makes much more sense now. It has 3GB and has more power than the GTX 760, but the 2GB GTX 760 is the "Runner-up" to the 270x. Reply
Morg72 - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkPrice/Performance is totally being dominated by AMD right now, So mentioning the 750ti, 760 and 780, I take it they are just trying to throw nVidia fanboy's a bone where they can. If looking for the best bang for your buck, the 780 at $499 makes no sense with performance similar to the cheaper 290 and a price similar to the 290x, thought the 290x has better performance, I don't see see where the 780 fits in. Reply
Anonymous Blowhard - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkIf by "nVidia fanboys" you mean "people who use CUDA, want the extra featureset of ShadowPlay/GameStream, or want to run any kind of acceptable 3D under Linux" then yes, I suppose they need to throw them a bone. Reply
Morg72 - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkBy "nVidia fanboys" I refer to those that see a price/performance list like this, and start claiming favoring or being in AMD's pocket and those that buy nVidia's products regardless if it's the best performance for their money. There are some of these on both sides, it's just that the AMD ones are happy right now.
That bing said, I don't see what CUDA has to do with the 750ti, 760 and 780, as the compute performance is gimped on those cards. As for the rest of what you mentioned, it doesn't change the overall price/performance ratio, it just means that they get to see the premium they are paying for certain "features". Reply
Anonymous Blowhard - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - link> There are some of these on both sides, it's just that the AMD ones are happy right now.
Considering how hard they were getting railroaded when the cryptocurrency miners were hoovering up their cards, it's only fair they get a chance to gloat now I suppose. Reply
Sabresiberian - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkMy daddy taught me "Two wrongs don't make a right". :)
The fanboy mindset, clinging to a particular brand and saying it is better despite evidence otherwise, does no one any good. It would be better to discourage that kind of thinking than excuse it.
(I'm not saying it is wrong to make a personal choice about which brand you buy, I'm saying it's wrong to ignore evidence that demonstrates the superiority of one product over another in the criteria measured. Of course it is rare that all of the criteria are measured in a review.) Reply
Samus - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkI've also never had a Radeon card last more than 2 years before flaking out. My Sapphire 4870 eventually had failing VRAM (green artifacts) and my Asus 7750 has lately begun to bluescreen and 1/3rd of the time doesn't resume from standby (it fails to reinitialize the video.) Coincidently, there are tons of refurbs floating around on the market and a lot of people having the same issues even with the refurbs.
To this day the most solid card I've ever had was my EVGA GTX560 (still working fine in my "garage" PC 3+ years later)
If only EVGA made AMD cards, maybe they would have a reliable OEM. Because my experience, and many of my friends, hold AMD OEM's (and possibly the chips themselves) to be unreliable and drivers to be inherently sub-par. Reply
The Von Matrices - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkThis article is intentionally called "Best graphics cards" since price/performance is only part of the equation. NVidia is much better in power consumption and noise, so if you are like me and care about either of those, the extra money is worth it. Reply
RussianSensation - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkYou don't have any argument there really.
The noise and temperatures are not relevant since one can purchase an after-market R9 280/280X/290/290X that runs both cool and quiet:
Low Noise - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/R9_290...
Low Temps - 73C - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/R9_290...
Now power consumption at Peak load:
Sapphire 290X = 253W
780Ti = 269W
These GPUs will be in a system that will use 100-200W. You are looking at 30W extra power use over the 780 but significantly faster performance. Power consumption between 280X and 770 is also very similar. So again, from a cost perspective, 780/R9 290/290X/780Ti all a very similar amount of power.
Sounds like you have no credible argument at all but R9 290 4GB is just $400 while GTX780 6GB which is needed for Watch Dogs is at least $550. NV's pricing right now is horrendous and not worth the premium at all, especially once one starts scaling to 2-3 GPUs and these differences magnify. Reply
The Von Matrices - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkThe 290X Tri-X is $700 while a GTX 780 Ti is $680. All you proved is that if you pay extra - the same money as the NVidia card - you can have the same low noise (you still can't beat the power consumption). Reply
RussianSensation - Saturday, May 31, 2014 - linkHuh? First you claimed that R9 290/X cards have high power consumption and heat and noise levels. I disproved it by showing Sapphire Tri-X as just 1 example. You can use any other R9 290 cards to prove the same, such as XFX Double Dissipation, PowerColor PCS+, etc. All of your claims that R9 290 run hot and loud is not true for any of the good after-market cards.
Second, you proceeded to evade my response by claiming that 290X Tri-X is $700. The current price for Sapphire Tri-X R9 290X is $550, not $700:
Again, you are not seeing the big pictures. A gamer can buy say a HIS IceQ2 R9 290X for $460:
Since I already addressed your comments on power consumption, heat and noise levels which are all negated by after-market cards or have very little difference between AMD and NV, that leaves us with price. Here is picture for you one more time:
On Newegg as of May 31, 2014:
R9 280X vs. 770 4GB:
After-market XFX Double Dissipation R9 280X = $260 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
Cheapest GTX770 2GB = $310 --> but this card is like throwing $ into the toilet now since games like Wolfenstein New Order and Watch Dogs require 3GB of VRAM even at 1080P for ultra textures.
Cheapest GTX770 4GB = $360! 38% price premium for similar performance.
R9 290 vs. 780 3GB/6GB
After-market HIS IceQ2 R9 290X = $360 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
Cheapest 780 3GB = $480
Cheapest 780 6GB = $580 (EVGA 6GB can be bought for $550 on their site).
Cards like R9 290 and 780 are often used at 1440p/1600p and 3GB is not enough for Watch Dogs. One has to pay a ridiculous $550+ vs. R9 290's price of $360 to get a similar performing card. Insanely overpriced card from NV!
GTX780Ti Gaming 3GB is the cheapest on Newegg at $600 vs. $460 for the HIS IceQ R9 290X I noted. Again, rip off.
You can either keep posting outdated prices, or admit that NV needs to drop 25-30% off their prices. Reply
Vayra - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkYou are completely right about pretty much everything you said, but you forget that at this point, the 3GB limit does not really bottleneck the 770 as much as you'd think. Benchmarks from different sources do show very little performance loss in games that utilize the 3GB limit versus a R9 280x.
This makes sense, because the GPU can't process more than it can process. Having 3GB on this level of cards is still out of balance with the performance these cards can deliver. Really great to have 3GB on the R9 280x, but the fact is that you will only see a true benefit in Crossfire, when you actually have the power to drive so many pixels at a smooth framerate.
Cheapest GTX770 2GB = $310 --> but this card is like throwing $ into the toilet now since games like Wolfenstein New Order and Watch Dogs require 3GB of VRAM even at 1080P for ultra textures. -- Actually no, cards of this price range are only just powerful enough to drive 1440p and games that go over 2GB at 1080p are notoriously crappy coded games. Simple as it is. Are you really going to buy a bigger card just to help shitty developing? Reply
trichome333 - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkI think he pretty much addressed that question. Seems the development is about equal but Nvidia is either paying way more for it or counting on guys like you to ignore reality and flaunt the 20-30 watt power advantage. BTW 30 watts is like 30 bucks a year on 24 hours a day. Reply
nathanddrews - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkI just bought an R9 290 OC Windforce a couple weeks ago and returned it. It was my own fault for assuming it would work, but AMD has dropped support of analog displays with Hawaii! I was shocked to discover that it did not have a DVI-I port, but only two DVI-D ports.
A DVI-D to VGA adapter is at least $45 (usually closer to $100), but then most of them have a slow DAC, meaning no 1920x1200 or 2560x1600, and very few refresh rates over 60Hz. It now seems obvious to me as to where some of the cost savings come from with Hawaii - no DAC.
NVIDIA has not dropped DVI-I. 780/780Ti for me, I guess. Reply
coburn_c - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkWhy on earth would you get a 250X when Newegg has the 260X for the exact same price. 1/3 again the number of shaders? Same price? Hello? Reply
Anonymous Blowhard - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkYou mean "For Cheaper" right?
PowerColor AXR7 260X 1GBD5-DH/OC Radeon R7 260X - $70 after MIR with free shipping. Reply
nathanddrews - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkWow, that's a phenomenal price. At that price, 260X CF actually makes sense. Reply
nathanddrews - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkNevermind... 1GB is pretty weak. If it were 2GB, then for sure. Reply
trichome333 - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkGreat find! Anyone on the fence about needing a discreet GPU should jump all over that! Just paid 199 after MIR on an r280...... wonder what 260x in CF does? lol Im sure 280 would smoke it. Right???? Reply
Ryan Smith - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkThese guides are generally based on the prices/availability of the lowest quartile of cards. We do not draw recommendations from a single card that is on sale, as sales are fleeting.
Plus the card you speak of is a 1GB card. Reply
coburn_c - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkThe 99 dollar 250X is 1GB as well, and the range is 99-150, which includes 260x 2GB models at the same price as the 250X 2GB model. Just a bad recommendation when you consider for 10 dollars more, any way you toss them, the 260X has 1/3 more shaders. Reply
Ryan Smith - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - link$99 is something of a hard price point. Cards above it are far better, and it has been that way for years. But sales data shows that $99 (and $199) are hard price points; certain groups of consumers will stick to a strict budget and not spend more than that, hence we offer a recommendation at that price. Reply
coburn_c - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkSaving 10 dollars and getting a card that can't muster 30fps in most games is not what someone who read a guide would do. It's what someone with a lobotomy would do. Reply

What is Nvidia thinking with the GTX760 being over $200? Makes no sense. Reply
Torashin - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkIt's really depressing reading how cheap you yanks can get cards for. $200 for a 280? That's mad! Here in the UK they start at £180 ($300) :'( Reply
garadante - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkWe were also completely boned for all of the beginning of this year with AMD card prices between hyperinflated. We're just -finally- getting back to 7950s/280s not being $400 cards. Considering the architecture is 2.5 years old and the 7950s were in the high $100s before retailers started running out of stock, we should really being seeing more cards in the high $100s and some in the mid $100s after a good rebate. That they're still over $200 even with sales and rebates is sad when you take it all into context. Reply
RussianSensation - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkHD7950 only fell below $200 near end of life when cards were discontinued. Today R9 280 costs $200 every day of the week:
The card it competes with is either a 760 2GB (lack of VRAM) for $210 (cheapest on Newegg) or 760 4GB for $250. In both cases the R9 280 is as fast and either costs $50 less or has more VRAM.
R9 280X costs as low as $260:
770 2GB which is now insufficient for games like Watch Dogs, but the cheapest on Newegg is $325. 770 4GB which is really a competitor to the R9 280X 3GB costs at least $370.
Looks like NV needs to drop prices on 760 4GB about $50 and on 770 4GB at least $80. Because of this, AMD has no need to drop prices on R9 280/X cards as they already offer the best price/performance in their class. Reply
Hrel - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkYour countries charge tarrifs to import stuff. Also, shipping is expensive. Also, smaller market. Also, exchange rate. We pay $200 you pay E180. You are actually paying less, based on your local currency. You can't compare cross country prices as if the conversion makes them equal. That's why money has different values, different economies of different countries. $180, in your country, is equal to $180 in my country. It's only when you try to spend your money in my country, or vice versa, that exchange rates come into play. Reply
hadesm5 - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkGreat selection for gaming, but what about other use cases?
I'm want to build a PC for work that supports a 3840x2160 monitor. Main use would be CAD and text editors, so the video card wouldn't have to be high-performance. Just looking for something that can push that many pixels, with price and low noise being more important than performance. Anyone have a comparable setup? Reply
HappyHubris - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkIt's a shame that AMD cards come with AMD drivers; they offer excellent raw performance for the price. Reply
RussianSensation - Saturday, May 31, 2014 - linkAMD drivers are fine. R9 295X2 is the fastest dual-GPU card and R9 295X2 + 290X Tri-Fire is the best setup for multi-monitor gaming and 4K gaming. If drivers sucked, how can these cards be awarded a Gold Award?
The driver argument is getting old. Reply

seanleeforever - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linksurely those are just nvidia fanboys who tries hard to blame anything amd has to offer.
i have over 10 graphic cards, 70% of them was nvidia due to the fact that i thought nvidia are somewhat better with drivers. (granted i never had any issue with amd/ati either). However, my nvidia device dies on my more offen than AMD/ATI device, and soemtime i need to replace the entire unit (as was the case in my T61P). my latest purchase, 290x, has been the best purchase in graphic card i made in recent years. it was a asus 290x with default blower design. i heard ppl say how load and how hot this guy is, guess what? it runs cooler and quieter and much much more powerful than my 570. and i never had driver issues at all. nvidia fanboys can keep drinking their kool-aid and pay 700 dollar for 780ti, but i am very happy with my 350 dollar 290x in my htpc.

SHRIVENHAM manager Sam Collier is refusing to get downbeat as his search for that elusive win continues.
The Barrington Park player-manager takes his side to Kidlington tonight in Hellenic League Premier Division desperate for victory.
Since taking charge last month, Collier and his side have run teams in the higher echelons of the division close, but they haven't managed to find a way to get over the line.
On Saturday, Collier picked up his first red card of his senior career before his team lost to two late goals at Ascot United.
"It was pretty heart-breaking to have been pretty comfortable for 88 minutes only to lose 2-0," Collier said.
"It knocked us pretty hard, but we are a positive group of lads and we keep on going.
"It is good that we get another game so quickly so that we can try and get over that loss.
"We are playing well, but now getting the luck we deserve - we are not a million miles away in terms of performance from the top five.
"We are looking good at the back, we just need to be more ruthless up front because we are creating the chances."
However, Collier, who is available tonight despite Saturday's sending off, will be without French striker Patrick Niame for the Kidlington but Josh Fowler is set to return to the starting XI.
Shrivenham's Oxfordshire hosts come into this game on the back of a 3-2 defeat at Wantage Town.
Gareth Davies will be hoping for better fortunes for his Malmesbury Victoria side when they entertain local rivals Purton in Division One West.
The Vics boss saw his side fall to a 1-0 defeat at Lydney Town over the weekend and he was left to rue another penalty snub.
But Vics know they cannot lick their wounds for too long as they sit at the wrong end of the table desperate to put some distance between themselves and the bottom two.
Purton meanwhile, did not play over the weekend - their last outing was a 4-0 Wiltshire Senior Cup defeat to Melksham Town.

(CBS/AP) BRUNSWICK, Ga. - Police are looking for two teens in connection to a Thursday shooting that left a mother wounded and her 1-year-old boy dead while she was pushing her baby in a stroller in a Georgia neighborhood.
Sherry West said she was walking near her home in the coastal city of Brunswick, about 80 miles south of Savannah, on Thursday morning when two boys approached her and demanded money. West said she insisted she didn't have any money and tried to protect her son, Antonio, before shots rang out.
The mother sustained a non-life threatening gunshot wound in the leg and was transported to the Southeast Georgia Health System for treatment, CBS affiliate WTOC reports. The infant was found dead at the scene.
"This is obviously a terrible day in Brunswick," Brunswick Mayor Bryan Thompson said. "Please call if you know something. You are complicit in this crime."
Officers from a SWAT team checked vacant houses as investigators tried to find possible witnesses. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources provided a helicopter to aid the search.
According to WTOC, Brunswick Police are searching for two black male suspects. The gunman is approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall, slender build, with curly hair, possibly between the ages of 13 and 15 years old, wearing a red shirt. His accomplice is short in stature, possibly between the ages of 10 and 12 years old, wearing a black shirt.
Anyone with information is asked to call Brunswick Police at 912-554-3645. There is a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
