I'm quite curious as to how the Gio Skinny fits. I'll give one a try next time I find myself in the big apple.
If have stacks of chinos but the ones that are in heavy rotation are:
Dockers extra slim - which means regular slim fit. bought two years ago and still regret not getting three pairs.
Nudie - Don't remember the name but it's the slimmest of the two cuts they offer.
Lindeberg khaki chinos - heavy twill. From the more expensive line but don't believe they carry styles over to next seasons.
Velour Adan - nice slim fit

On Wikia we've seen this in action -- the longer it takes a page to load, the higher the exit rate. To prevent this, we've taken a number of measures to keep our page load times low across 170,000 wikis. Some of the recent changes we've made:
- We've combined CSS calls to our servers, so they are loaded all at once rather than as separate files.
- Buttons on the interface are now loaded as a combined image, helping them to load faster. We then use CSS to split the image for display.
- Spotlights are now also loaded together rather than individually -- more saved calls to the server!
- Some images now only load after you've started to scroll down the page (including spotlights and the photos module). For anyone that doesn't scroll down that far, we don't need to waste time loading those images.
- We are working to reduce our use of the Yahoo JavaScript framework, and now only load it on pages that are directly using it.
Maintaining and improving site speed is an important task for our engineering and operations department. And plays an important role in our product development process, with new features optimized to balance functionality and loading speed. For the future: we are turning our attention to improving the geographic reach of our servers. We are planning to place new servers in the New York/Boston area, which will mean faster speed for all of our visitors on the East Coast of the US. We already have servers in San Jose, Iowa, Frankfurt and London. (Here's a bit of magic: )
As a wiki admin, there are some things you may want to consider to keep your wiki fast:
- How big is the background image used in your theme? If it's a large image, this can greatly increase the loading time of your wiki.
- What is the size of other images you use? Is it possible to compress them before adding them to Wikia?
- What extensions and JavaScript do you have on your main page? Too many of these, or some particular ones, will slow down your site.
Have other ideas or suggestions? Please feel free to post them below for everyone's benefit. We hope that you have a fast (and fun) experience on Wikia!

Eat This, Not That! Quick + Healthy Meals
Don't have time to cook a full meal for your family? Before you make another stop at the drive-through, check out these healthier alternatives instead.
-The Betty Editors
It's 5 o'clock. You're just leaving the office. You've had a full work day—and indeed, you've been working overtime all week. You haven't had time to go grocery shopping, and you've got a spouse and two kids at home to feed. What do you do? Looks like another stop at the fast food joint around the corner from your office—or maybe, if you're feeling fancy, a family outing for a sit-down meal somewhere…
But wait! Not so fast—there are other alternatives to fast food or restaurant meals when you don't have the time to whip up something from scratch in your own kitchen. The words "frozen dinner" may not bring to mind nutritious, tasty, and surprisingly cost effective culinary experiences; but these days, they probably should. Here's why.
These babies aren't your grandma's TV dinners. They don't come in aluminum trays, they aren't peppered with sad little piles of soggy green beans, and they aren't chock full of chemicals and fillers. Lean Cuisine and Stouffers, for example, both have over 90 products available with no preservatives whatsoever. Meals are made by chefs from ingredients picked at the peak of their ripeness; then they're flash frozen, ensuring that they'll be as fresh as they were the day they were made when you sit down to enjoy them yourself.
In fact, no matter what kind of fast food or restaurant craving you and your family are having, there's a healthier equivalent waiting for you in the freezer aisle. Check out these alternatives—and eat this, not that!

Petasites hybridus plant extract,
known as butterbur, has been used for years to prevent
migraine headaches. Studies show it is effective at
reducing the frequency of migraines.1
Experts are not sure what causes migraines.
Researchers are
unclear exactly how butterbur helps to prevent migraines. But some
research suggests that it may prevent swelling and relieve pressure on the
blood vessels. Another theory is that it may affect calcium channels, which
experts also believe may be related to migraines. More research is needed to
find out how butterbur helps prevent migraines.
Butterbur is available as a supplement (tablet or capsule). It is marketed under the brand name Petadolex. It is important
to find butterbur that has been standardized (which means you receive the same
amount of active ingredient in every dose) with guaranteed potency. Do not
consume butterbur from the plant itself because it has toxic properties, which
are removed in the standardized supplement.
Some people may
experience stomach upset, including gas, when they take butterbur. It is not
recommended for young children or for women who are pregnant or
Be sure to tell your doctor before you take
butterbur. Like any drug, it can interact with other medicines you are
taking or affect your health in ways you may not be aware of.
CitationsLipton RB, et al. (2004). Petasites hybridus root (butterbur) is an effective preventive treatment for
migraine. Neurology, 63(12): 2240–2244.

THE last official letter written by Diana, Princess of Wales, which was sent to a North Yorkshire human rights campaigner just weeks before she died, has sold at auction for nearly £3,000.
The note, signed "with love from Diana", was sent to humanitarian campaigner Dilys Cheetham from Richmond on August 11, 1997, thanking her for her work in Bosnia, just three weeks before the princess died.
Diana, who had just returned from a three-day visit to Bosnia as part of her campaign against landmines, wrote that she had been "deeply moved by the experience".
She said that it had hardened her "resolve to ensure the world does not forget that those who have been so needlessly maimed by these terrible weapons will need care and support for many years to come".
Ms Cheetham, who died in 2006, originally sold the letter at a charity auction in 1999 to raise money for landmine victims. Yesterday the note was sold at Fellows Auctions in Birmingham to a private collector, for £2,976.
Mark Huddleston, head of antiques at Fellows, described it as an incredibly important letter in terms of modern history.
"The letter is moving not only because of its heartfelt message but also because it would have been the last ever written by her," he said.

A guide to the top 5773 Rosh Hashanah YouTube videos!
Every year our Facebook friends, Twitter followers and fellow emailers send us Rosh Hashanah videos.
They are usually parodies of popular songs — and amateurish (or sometimes too professional). Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're endearing, but most times they kind of get old after the, umm, 100th share. So we decided to ease on the pre-holiday headache and put this year's top Rosh Hashanah videos on one ultimate page for you to share. We just want your newsfeed to be clean and tidy — it's a new year, you know.
Shana Tova!
Here they are…

With the deadline for registration coming up on the 8th of March we hope you have already registered for this year's Longwood Graduate Program Annual Symposium. This year the Symposium aims to encourage public gardens and cultural institutions to examine how they can stay relevant within the ever-changing social landscape.
Speaker Highlight: Louise Chawla
One exciting relatively new field of research that can provide public gardens with some innovative answers to this age-old question is conservation psychology. This year we are privileged to have Louise Chawla who will not be only giving a broad introduction to this exciting field but also highlight some of the issues it addresses with practical examples. Louise Chawla is a professor in the Environmental Design Program at the University of Colorado in Boulder, co-editor of the journal Children, Youth and Environments, and associate director of the Children, Youth and Environments Center for Community Engagement. Some of her popular publications include the books In the First Country of Places: Nature, Poetry and Childhood Memory and the edited collection Growing Up in an Urbanizing World.
In addition to her presentation Louise Chawla will conduct an interactive workshop during the Special Sessions that aims to help participants understand the principles involved in designing environmental programs that encourage care for the environment. This session can accommodate a limited amount of participants, so be quick to register to avoid disappointment.
For those of you who can't make it out to Longwood Gardens there is also the possibility to participate via our webcast. Also, we want you to contribute to the conversation whether you can be there or not on Twitter or TweetChat at #lgpsymp.

Le Freak
A great cultural transgressor, Lady Gaga is also a very deliberate product of her time.
I'm captivated by Lady Gaga. I don't know whether I love her or hate her, and I can't explain why I'm hanging on every utterance in a Barbara Walters interview. But this doesn't matter. The very fact that I'm tossing around words like 'genius', 'freak', 'icon' and 'phoney' in my attempts to describe her, means that I am just one person amongst millions of people in the world who cannot deny the cult of Gaga.
Lady Gaga is everything we are, and everything we are not. As she plays into the freak within us all, referring affectionately to her notoriously intense fanbase as "little monsters", our role in the creation of the 'celebrity freak' is obvious. For us, nothing is ever too outrageous, too incomprehensible. In fact, if Gaga was to act in any way 'normal', that would be truly shocking.
Placing all negative connotations of the word 'freak' aside, Gaga has several characteristics long associated with the freakish body.
1. She is a figure of excess, testing the boundaries of acceptable, or even comprehensible behaviour.
2. She is a plastic body, constantly changing and evolving. She is also confined to her body, and judged intensely by it.
3. She holds a place of undying public fascination.
Earlier this year, when the 25-year-old, New York-born popstar arrived at the Grammy Awards inside a giant egg, two things sprung to mind. Firstly, "Can she breathe?" And secondly, "Is this Michael Jackson in his hyperbaric chamber all over again?"
MJ's was a drastic publicity stunt, a monument to the immortality of celebrity, and his fear of contamination by the public. Perhaps Lady Gaga's choice to appear in a giant egg-womb was actually a means of communicating a similar sense of being untouchable, immortal, and being always, reborn.
Existing in the in-between, Gaga, like Jackson, has also been the subject of conspiracy regarding sexuality and gender. Did we think that categorising Lady Gaga as a hemaphrodite would explain her intrigue? Did we think that knowing intimate details of Jackson's sex organs would make him any easier to classify? Surely there is something 'freakish' in that desire to know.
As Lady Gaga slept through her first night in Sydney, clutching a string of pearls, complaining of being terribly lonely, a slew of fans - her little monsters waited outside her hotel in the cold.
In Lady Gaga, the 21st century has created a "Monster," and in us, she has fostered something far scarier; our own intense fascination with her. Love her or loathe her, Gaga knows what we want. Shock us, and we will love you. Act like a weirdo and make us all wish that we too could be weirdos. Even just for a day.
If all the world is a stage, and all the men and women are merely players, then who exactly is the freak in this sideshow?
Is it us, or is it her?
After her surprise sets at Nevermind and Arq last night she will play at the Sydney Town Hall this Wednesday. I envy anyone who is attending.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
December 5, 1916 — Loosdrecht, Netherlands
Mirjam grew up on her family's farm in Loosdrecht. Her parents, secular Jews, had moved from Amsterdam in 1914, two years before she was born. The Watermans were pacifists. Mirjam attended a progressive school in Hilversum. Her brother and youngest sister attended the Kees Boeke School, a progressive school located in Bilthoven that taught pacifist and humanistic ideals.
1933-39: In 1938 Mirjam began teaching at the Kees Boeke school. A group of German-Jewish refugees came to the school in 1939. Mirjam lived in an isolated place and had not heard much about Hitler or the anti-Jewish laws in Germany until the refugees came. There was a Jewish Youth Immigration home near her parents' farm where about 60 German-Jewish youngsters lived; some had been Mirjam's students. One of their leaders was Menachem Pinkhof.
1940-45: When Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, Jewish children were expelled from secular schools. Mirjam opened a Jewish school in her parents' home. In 1941 she learned about the German plan to deport Jews. She and Menachem could have hidden with Christian friends, but they decided that the Jewish youths had to be hidden as well. With the help of Joop Westerweel, the principal of the Kees Boeke school, and other Jewish and non-Jewish friends, they organized a resistance group. In 1944 Mirjam was arrested and deported to Bergen-Belsen.
Mirjam's resistance group saved over 300 Jewish youths. About 70 were smuggled through Spain to Palestine. Mirjam survived and emigrated to Palestine in 1946.

Black Friday
Up at 4 this morning for a bit of a fish, got out to the car only to discover that some bastard's broken in with a crowbar and pinched both my flytying kit and a chainsaw. So I go fishing and Peter's lake is in flood, the Drava is pouring in and it changes colour and comes up about a foot while we're there. I catch what could be a small carp, but I see some bigger ones, including one that follows to the boat and another which eats. There are carp moving amongst the reeds. Kind of interesting if not very productive. I think come summer when carp are eating bugs then all these lakes will be fun.
So I seem to average one break-in a year. I've had a couple of cars broken into in the UK, twice now in Hungary, a bunch of times in Australia – four maybe, once in NZ. Never in America or Canada. And it's never very good for me, there's always fishing gear stolen and usually some tools. Although this is the first time I've lost a flytying kit…
"How was work tonight, dear?"
"Fantastic, got this chainsaw."
"Wow, lovely, looks almost brand new!"
"Yep, can only have been used once or twice at the most."
"They simply must promote you to Master Criminal after this!"
"Any day now."
"What else did you get?"
"I also got this squirrel skin, could be roadkill."
[pause] "Squirrel skin?"
"Yes, and some fur that could be from a Seal. I think they smoke it."
"They smoke Seal's Fur?"
"And look shedloads of Tungsten Beads."
"Who smokes Seal's Fur?"
"And if I'm not mistaken that could be fur from Ram's Testicles…"


text: Yes my loves! We are still in the middle of winter. Spring is still weeks away and I have a question for you. How has your skin been holding up? Are you like me? My skin tends to get really dry and itchy during the cold months. After I shower I have to immediately throw on lotion. Well, that was the case until I started using Dove's new body wash.

I have given up on him this year and just hope that with an offseason and hopefully some improvement along the offensive line he will become worth the first round pick we gave up for him.

An energy-saving revolution 80 years in the making could be about to hit Brisbane.
The CBD is set to follow a host of major European and Asian cities, such as Paris, London and Singapore, in implementing a centralised cooling system that could dramatically reduce the city's carbon footprint.
But only if enough commercial operators sign up.
The ambitious project has been under investigation by the Brisbane City Council's sustainability agency CitySmart and will on Friday gauge the interest of the private sector.
Essentially, the system works by establishing a centralised water chilling plant that replaces individual chillers and cooling towers on city buildings.
The buildings are hooked up to the large thermal energy system, which chills water during off-peak periods, then provides air-conditioning during the day.
Deputy mayor Adrian Schrinner has been working closely with CitySmart on the project and said it could potentially save 21,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases each year, or the equivalent of the entire annual energy output of more than 2500 Brisbane homes.
In addition, he said the project could create 500 jobs and reap up to $530 million in economic benefits.
"CitySmart's role is as a facilitator, not a funder but we believe there is a business case," he said.
"We know there is a lot of interest from companies, the issue is getting enough to sign up."
While over the long term the scheme would deliver significant cost savings, Cr Schrinner said convincing companies of the value of the initial investment could prove a hurdle.
Vaughan Furniss, Australian chief executive of multi-utility company Cofely, said if companies had ageing individual chiller infrastructure, there could actually be cost savings in signing up to the plan.
He said centralised energy systems were not a new concept but had risen rapidly in popularity across Europe and Asia over the past two decades due to soaring energy costs.
"The type being proposed for Brisbane has been in operation for more than 80 years for heating and in the last 30 years plus for cooling," he said.
Mr Furniss said despite its international usage, it was only in the past five years Australian companies had begun investigating it.
Should the scheme eventuate, Brisbane would be the first Australian city to implement a centralised cooling scheme on such a large scale.
Similar heating and cooling systems have been rolled out on smaller scales in Australia, such as on university campuses.
Townsville's James Cook University is among the sites to have successfully implemented the system.
Mr Furniss's company was behind the award-winning system constructed at the London Olympics site, as well as large-scale projects in Barcelona, Birmingham and Southampton.
He said despite a similar scheme for heating failing last year in Sydney, he believed the Brisbane project had what it took to succeed.
"We think Brisbane's got it right asking for a district cooling network," Mr Furniss said.
"It's a lot about taking people on a journey, in making that cultural shift in terms of how you produce and consume energy."
Should the project garner enough private sector interest, Mr Furniss said the first stage could be operational within two years.

Razer's Project Fiona Gaming Tablet Confirmed for Productionby Vivek Gowri on 10/4/2012 3:25 PM EST

TareX - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkAs a Vita owner, that doesn't make me happy. It's likely to be way more powerful, and already have the full library of PC games at its disposal. Only, what OS is it running? What are these "impressive specs"? All important questions... Reply
stm1185 - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkObviously Windows 8 for OS. I'd bet it get's a ULV Haswell i7; without a dedicated GPU and a bump to 1920x1080 on the resolution. Reply
VivekGowri - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkHaswell would certainly be an intelligent way to go, especially if you stuck to on-die graphics. I'm not sure how that would play with a 1080p display though, I think if you wanted to keep most games playable at native res you'd stick to some form of WXGA. I'd love to see a 1280x800 display like the concept, preferably with an IPS panel, but I guess we'll see. Reply
Death666Angel - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkWith small enough pixels (1080p/1200p @ 10" is quite small in my book), sticking with the native resolution is not as necessary as when we are dealing with 1080p/1200p @ anything from 24" to 50".
Aren't quite a few iPad3 apps rendered in a lower resolution? I didn't see anyone really complaining about that.
@News: Definitely a fun product, though I expect very niche. And I wouldn't buy the first revision of this. :D Reply
Friendly0Fire - Saturday, October 06, 2012 - linkThe iPad uses an integer multiple of the former model, so pixel scaling is not an issue.
Non-integer scaling introduces all sorts of aliasing issues, even with 1080p. Reply
B3an - Sunday, October 07, 2012 - linkIt would barely be noticeable on a 1080p 10" display. The PPI would be very high compared to 1080p monitors. Any gaming tablet should have 1080p or higher because even if you don't use the native res things are still going to look good.
And i like the idea of this product. I've been saying for a long time that Win 8 will bring all kinds of imaginative products to market, people don't seem to understand how much of a game changer it can be. I mean just Win 8 gaming tablets alone can make mobile handhelds like the PS Vita obsolete as you have the biggest library of games on any system instantly available. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Tuesday, October 09, 2012 - linkNonsense, scaling is still noticeable at that pixel density. Reply
Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkThe problem with 1280x800 on this is the same as on the ElitePad 900...no Metro app snapping. Maybe 1440x900 though? Reply
VivekGowri - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkOh yeah, 1366 minimum for Metro snapping right? Reply
Hrel - Thursday, January 03, 2013 - link1368 Reply
Homeles - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkIt's definitely not Haswell, considering it is/was slated for a 2H 2012 launch. I don't see a 1080p display being possible given the power usage that's likely to come with using Ivy Bridge. Reply
Mathieu Bourgie - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkMight just be those rumored IB 10W CPUs that are supposed to launch in H1 2013. Reply
stm1185 - Saturday, October 06, 2012 - linkYeah, but would they really sell a gaming PC with an HD4000. I hope they decided to wait for Haswell and a good minimum level of gaming capability. Reply
Sufo - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkAs a Vita owner... I don't understand your point of view. They are not competing products. One is a handheld, on which every game is guaranteed to play smoothly and without issue. The other is a windows tablet with silly handles that will offer no consistency of experience.
Razer already proved they don't know how to build a gaming machine with the blade (packing a ridiculous 555 to drive a 1080p display), I don't expect this to be any better. Reply
R3MF - Monday, October 08, 2012 - link"What are these "impressive specs"?"
A 28nm AMD APU using the new Jaguar cores and GCN shaders would seem to be a good match. Reply
KitsuneKnight - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkIs the image accurate for the layout of the controls (at least at CES)? It seems like it'd be horrible to try to use the analog sticks and the buttons on both sides simultaneously, while holding the device. Having the buttons on the backside seems like it would make far more sense. Reply
VivekGowri - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkYeah. There are triggers on both sides, DS3-style, so it's not bad at all. Reply
chris2kari - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - link"...production plans for the tablet are a go...'"
"...there are are multiple design concepts..."
"...there is no final design specification as of yet.."
Um.. what?
Seems like vapourware to me. Reply
VivekGowri - Thursday, October 04, 2012 - linkI can vouch for the existence of at least one design concept, but I have no reason to doubt the existence of others. And it's not like Razer hasn't executed in the past - even a far-out concept like Switchblade got worked into the Blade as well as their high end keyboards. If anything concerns me, it's the release schedule (or lack of one) and the as-yet-undecided hardware platform. This could be something that doesn't launch until PAX Prime next September, which is a long time to wait. Reply
Visual - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkIt is really simple and obvious how they should design most aspects of it.
It must be full x86, compatible with any version of Windows. If anyone on the team ever mentions ARM, fire them or at least force them to only ever play angry birds for the next year.
It must have at least Intel HD4000 level of GPU performance. No crippled HD2500 i3 is acceptable, and don't even mention the Atoms. And this minimum requirement goes up the longer they delay their product - when Haswell launches, that would be the minimum, etc.
It must be usable as a normal tablet - the controls must be detachable.
It must have an active digitizer for use in that mode. Wacom preferred.
It must have a track-pad for precise cursor control in windows and in games that just can't work well with pen or touch for some reason. Several design options are possible here, and I admit I am not sure which would be best.
- They could place it on the tablet bezel so it is available in pure tablet mode, ala MSI 110w, and add a few programmable buttons on the bezel while they're at it. But have the additional handles with controls close enough to the bezel so it is still comfortable to reach the track-pad with them as well.
- They could even have the whole bezel being touch sensitive, and have some area of it work as a track-pad, some as programmable buttons, and even support bezel gestures and such, that I think were planned as supported with Windows 8 anyway.
- They could have it on the back of the tablet or the back of the handles, or both. Will be a bit weird to get used to, but might work ok. Consult PS Vita owners ;)
- They could replace one of the analog sticks with a trackpad as well, with some kind of toggle if it should emulate a mouse or an analog stick. Reply
Visual - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkRE: the CPU and GPU
I'd actually prefer even better GPU and would sacrifice CPU performance for it. Maybe some AMD APU... too bad they never gave Brazos a real update, and unlike on the desktop, on the mobile even Trinity sucks and is barely better than Intel in GPU performance. Not sure if it is worth the battery life drop. Still, if they made an AMD variant I'd probably buy it to support them for their guts for trying things out. Reply
sstteevveenn - Friday, October 05, 2012 - link"Going forward" adds nothing to that sentence, or any other sentence that people tack it on to. :/ Reply
Sufo - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkIt is annoying management speak, but it certainly has meaning. Reply
sstteevveenn - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkIt has no meaning whatsoever in the majority of cases it crops up, including here. "with community feedback apparently set to play a significant role in the design process." - correct english; concise; neat and tidy.
means exactly the same as:
"with community feedback apparently set to play a significant role in the design process going forward" - tautology; drawn out; messy.
To me it always reads as though the writer hasn't understood what he has just written, and as though the article hasn't been checked before publishing.
I never used to notice, but now I see it nearly everywhere and it's maddening! Reply
VivekGowri - Saturday, October 06, 2012 - linkExcept that it's a product that's already had a significant portion of the design process completed, or at least enough that there are multiple design concepts. To this point, it's been purely internal, but going forward (or if you prefer - "in the future" or "the next steps of") the design process will be crowdsourced. I can't vouch for the other places you notice it, but it definitely has a meaning in this application - it refers directly to Razer decision to turn to the community in the remaining steps to complete Project Fiona.
Or perhaps I just don't understand what I'm talking about. Reply
sstteevveenn - Saturday, October 06, 2012 - linkThat's already covered by the tense of the sentence. They're obviously not 'set to play a significant role' in the design work that has already been done.
It's not necessary, but if emphasis is required then anything is better than the clichéd and annoying "going forward", such as:
"in the remaining/remainder of the design process"
"refining the design"
"in the final stage of the design process"
"further design"
"future design process"
"going foward" seems to imply there is an alternative; that we could somehow go back in time.
I don't mean to be hypercritical, but it's become a pet-peeve of mine and there is always a better way to write a sentence without 'going forward'. Reply
SydneyBlue120d - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkThey may go with Haswell Intel Core i7 SOC or Samsung Exynos 5450 SOC... Reply
rallyhard - Friday, October 05, 2012 - linkI'll be keeping an eye on this Reply
B3an - Sunday, October 07, 2012 - linkTo be fair pretty much ANY Win 8 tablet could do this though, as long s it has a Core i5 or i7. Its also inevitable that companies will eventually bring out game pads that join on to these tablets like in the image here. All Win 8 tablets will have USB after all, or they can use bluetooth. Reply
rallyhard - Monday, October 15, 2012 - linkGood points.
I was certainly more interested in a potential x86 version of this thing, but the poster below me here seems to make a decent case against that happening. Reply
khanov - Saturday, October 06, 2012 - linkNo chance an x86 CPU. No way.
Intel have released volume pricing on the first iteration of Haswell and it already has OEM's up in arms. Insane pricing aside, if they do go with x86 then everyone will then expect all the latest PC games to run on it. But no modern PC game is going to run at decent FPS on an intel integrated GPU. Even Haswell's GPU is too puny for that.
So add the cost of a GeForce Mobile GPU to the already VERY expensive ivy bridge/Haswell Mobile CPU and the required platform support chipset and you have a $1000+ tablet. There is NO market for a $1000+ tablet.
Much more likely to be just another ARM tablet, albeit with fancy (ergonomically impractical) handles. Typical Razer stuff, nice to look at, garbage electronics inside. Want portable gaming? Get a Vita. Want angry birds with joysticks? Buy Razer. Reply
Fox5 - Saturday, October 06, 2012 - linkGPU performance is by far more important, and as a secondary device price is very important.
Depending on what TDP they're going for, one of the higher end Bobcat chips might be decent, at least enough for some light gaming.
And at that same TDP, the lower end Trinity chips are also viable, and who knows, maybe they could get AMD to validate some ULV chips for them. Reply
lmcd - Sunday, October 07, 2012 - linkIt would be great to see A-15 dual with an A7 and an M3 companion, and Mali T-658 quad graphics. That said, no other ARM solution will provide the necessary power to compete at the price this will hit, and Razer probably doesn't want to do their own design. Reply

Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment
"The International Red Cross ranks Haiti as the most corrupt nation on the planet. Foreign aid must work on the ground and should not become a waste of money. It is often said that foreign aid amounts to taking money from poor people in rich countries to give it to corrupt rich people in poor countries. This is a caution that must be borne in mind while distributing aid and coordinating efforts at reconstruction. One should also be able to identity some of the credible and honest NGOs such as Oxfam and the Red Cross. Putting aid through them has better chance of reaching where it's needed the most."

Jennifer Lopez Thinks She was Robbed of an Oscar
The diva thinks her last film was Oscar-worthy, but claims no one gave it a chance.
-Kathryn H. Cusimano
Jennifer Lopez has tried again and again to build a "Jenny from the Block" reputation that could trump the divalicious gossip items about her, but she can't seem to figure out why it hasn't worked. Perhaps reviewing her own quotes would help.
Read Is J.Lo Too Old to Wear a Catsuit?
In the latest issue of Latina magazine, J.Lo says that she gave an Oscar-worthy performance in El Cantante, the 2006 Hector Lavoe biopic she starred in with her husband Marc Anthony, but she was overlooked because the academy members weren't doing their jobs.
"I feel like I had that [Oscar worthy role] in El Cantante, but I don't even think the academy members saw it," Jennifer said. "I feel like it's their responsibility to do that, to see everything that's out there, everything that could be great."
It seems the actress never stopped to consider that perhaps they did see it, and didn't think it warranted nominations. The mediocre-at-best reviews for the film seem to support this scenario, but hey, a girl can dream – and dream she did.
"It was funny; when the Oscars were on, I had just given birth on the 22nd, and the Oscars, I think, were a day or two later," Jennifer continued. "I was sitting there with my twins—I couldn't have been happier—but I was like, 'How dope would it have been if I would've won the Oscar and been here in my hospital bed accepting the award?'"
She may not have won (or been nominated) that time, but there's always hope for the next film.
"Things will happen when they're supposed to happen. I have the utmost faith and no doubt that it will one day, when and if it's supposed to. You can't get all crazy twisted over it."
Good luck! (Latina)

THERE are wagging tails and happy staff at an animal rescue shelter once again after a boost in the number of volunteer dog walkers.
Staff at Worcestershire Animal Rescue Shelter, Hawthorn Lane Newland, had appealed in your Worcester News for more dog walkers after seeing a dramatic reduction in numbers.
Things had got so bad last month that nobody turned up to walk the animals on a Sunday, previously a busy time for walkers.
Staff had been walking the dogs twice a day but being more used to four to five walks a day, the dogs' wellbeing suffered.
It also meant the shelter had to reduce the number of animals it could take in and, despite having 27 kennels, it could only provide adequate care for 16 dogs.
But on Saturday, all that had changed and the field was once again bustling with walkers.
Laura Parton, assistant manager at the shelter between Worcester and Malvern, said: "So far we have had a fantastic response.
"We've been inundated with phone calls and people offering to help since the article appeared.
"Everyone who has phoned up said they had seen the apiece in the paper and wanted to come and help.
"We've had to quickly get a lot more inductions booked to be able to fit everyone in - it's been absolutely brilliant.
The centre has already ran five 30 minute induction with between eight and nine people attending each one.
Miss Parton said that afterwards most people took the dogs for a walk.
"The dogs are much happier because they are out of their kennels more often.
"People also stayed behind to help with other duties but most of them were out walking the dogs."
The shelter is holding a fete and fun dog show on Sunday between 1pm and 4pm which will give people a chance to look around the kennels and meet some of the dogs.
Dog walkers need a 30 minute induction which takes place on Saturdays and then are free to walk a dog, any day of the week between 11am and 3pm.
Anyone interested in volunteering should call 01905 831651 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

One-hour interactive instruction on a variety of vital and cutting-edge topics. Initially given as a live events, e-Symposia are subsequently archived as digital files so others can benefit from the training even if they weren't able to attend the live event. All participants receive one day's worth of independent study materials. If CEU credit is desired, students write responses to brief questions and submit their work to AAPG.
An overview of a new ambient seismic imaging method and applications of the method throughout the lifecycles (exploration through refracing) of unconventional oil and/or gas fields.
This e-symposium will focus mainly on "source-to-sink", and will detail methods used to quantify and qualify the sediment mass transported from the hinterland to the depocenter and the storage sites in route.
This e-symposium provides a primer on the origin of problematic non-hydrocarbon gases in petroleum reservoirs, specifically hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.
This e-symposium asks several questions. Have we maximized and fully integrated drilling, geology, reservoir description, stimulation, production information and economic results? Are we working on the same scales and communicating observations providing feedback among disciplines? Several observations are offered and discussed.
Many interpreters rely on their workstation for their interpretations (auto-picking) and for their final maps. Yet the maps generated in a computer are almost always wrong, sometimes significantly so. This e-symposium will walk through the various steps you can use to conduct a self-audit to ensure that your final map is geologically and geometrically valid.

Jefferson County on Tuesday granted a decade-long grace period on a loan of more than $6.4 million to an undeveloped metropolitan district for construction of the C-470 and Alameda interchange.
Green Tree Metropolitan District, which is governed by at least one developer who has contributed substantially to Jeffco Republican campaigns, borrowed the money in 2007 from the county to help construct the $17 million interchange.
Jefferson County Commissioner Kevin McCasky announced Jan. 19 he will be stepping down from his elected position to accept a job as president and CEO of the Jefferson Economic Council.
McCasky, 50, a Republican whose term would have run through 2012, had previously sat on the JEC's board as a representative of the county. His hiring was unanimously approved Jan. 19 at the nonprofit's board meeting.
The four-step method — minus one
SOUTH JEFFCO — Some people are apparently unfamiliar with the premise of retail commerce: 1. Shopper enters store; 2. Shopper sensibly selects merchandise; 3. Shopper pays for said merchandise; 4. Unless filming a remarkably unfunny sequel to "Mallrats," shopper leaves store.
PARKER -- Jennifer Vigil knew that her team needed to do something. Front Range Christian had to get the momentum. But how?
The Lady Falcons, ranked fifth in The Denver Post 2A girls basketball poll, had taken the lead twice, but never seemed to gain any offensive traction in its Top 5 showdown with fourth-ranked Lutheran-Parker. Twice, Front Range Christian had fallen behind by six points with no signs of actually taking the lead for good.
Then Vigil took matters into her own hands.

Melba Njenga is unassuming in nearly every way.
She is petite, standing at a mere 5-foot-1. She is reserved and quiet by nature. And she is humble. But when you see her swim you would never know that she is any of those things.
Njenga, a junior at Dakota Ridge High School, nicknamed "The Albatross" by her coaches for her amazingly long arms and smooth, graceful strokes, didn't have such a smooth start to her high school swimming career.
Ryan Seltenreich took everything that Standley Lake could throw at him and his Chatfield Chargers fought back when they needed to most.
The result — a stirring third-period comeback behind a pair of power-play goals — as Chatfield snapped the Gators' eight-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory Jan. 12 at the Edge Ice Arena.
"It was a huge win for us. We came together. Our goalie played amazing. We did what we needed to do," senior forward Trevor Knoll said.
It was probably as much Dakota Ridge's defensive pressure as it was Chatfield's offense feeding into it. But the teams' Jan. 12 girls basketball game at Dakota Ridge High School was all Lady Eagles from the get-go.
Behind a balanced-scoring attack and a persistent defense that forced turnover after turnover, host Dakota Ridge ran off a 9-0 spurt in the game's opening four minutes and led by 19 after one quarter en route to a 63-28 victory over the Lady Chargers.
Columbine's Cameron McDondle and Dakota Ridge's Derek Vander Velde have been nominated as an Old Spice Player of the Year.
They are among a select group of football players who are eligible to be selected as the Player of the Year and will be featured in a full-page feature in USA Today.
McDondle, a junior, rushed for 1,583 yards and 25 touchdowns in leading Columbine to a 9-2 record and the second round of the 5A state playoffs.
He only played in nine games, missing both of the Rebels' postseason contests.
Jeffco school board members took a step back from the board's controversial media policy Jan. 13, with President Dave Thomas announcing he would not attempt to prevent other board members from speaking to the press.
The policy, which was adopted in 2000, forbids all board members except the president from speaking to the media about virtually any topic.

Striking distance: Feldman gets first complete game
Right-hander allows Padres just two runs, fans career-high 12 batters
CHICAGO -- In 105 starts, Scott Feldman had never finished what he started, but he did so Wednesday night.
Feldman fanned a career-high 12 batters, gave up three hits and helped himself with an RBI double in his first complete game to lift the Cubs to a 6-2 victory over the Padres.
The right-hander had to plead his case with manager Dale Sveum to pitch the ninth after throwing 100 pitches over eight innings.
"It's something I've been wanting to do for a while," Feldman said about getting a complete game. "It always seemed like my pitch count got up or I got taken out before that could happen. I think originally the plan was for me to throw eight. I went back and asked skip if I could get a crack at a [complete game]. I'm thankful he let me go back out there to try to get it and didn't take me out after I gave up that home run to [Chase] Headley."
Headley singled with two outs in the first and Feldman then retired 18 in a row before Carlos Quentin reached on an error by third baseman Luis Valbuena in the seventh. Jedd Gyorko spoiled the shutout bid when he hit his first big league home run leading off the eighth. Headley then connected with one out in the ninth.
"He more or less said he's never pitched a complete game before," Sveum said. "At 100 pitches, I was letting him go hitter to hitter."
"He was cool," Feldman said of Sveum.
The dozen strikeouts topped Feldman's previous high of 11 set Aug. 23, 2009, against Tampa Bay.
"That cutter was really chewing them up tonight," Sveum said. "That was about as pure and crisp as you can imagine out of a guy who doesn't throw 98 mph. That was pretty impressive."
Feldman walked only one and worked well with catcher Dioner Navarro, who chipped in with a two-run double.
"[Feldman] had a game plan to pitch the lefties in with the cutter and did so all night long," Sveum said. "He made his pitches, and even the ones he missed on were close and borderline."
He impressed the Padres.
"That's pitching like Chris Carpenter or Roy Halladay, that type of stuff -- bringing it back from inside and cutting it on the outside," Headley said. "When guys do that, sometimes you just have to tip your cap."
Padres manager Bud Black said Feldman mixed his pitches well.
"We just couldn't solve the movement," Black said. "He was hitting corners, but I think the thing that really got him to throw a complete game was the movement on the fastball, keeping us off-guard both in and away, and the timing with the slower breaking ball. We just couldn't muster any good swings against him."
Andrew Cashner took the loss in his third appearance and first start against his former team. Cashner, the Cubs' first-round pick in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, was traded to the Padres in a four-player deal Jan. 6, 2012, in exchange for Anthony Rizzo and Zach Cates. This was Cashner's second career start at Wrigley Field, and first as a visitor. It didn't go well. The right-hander was charged with five runs (four earned) on six hits and four walks over four innings. Rizzo had faced Cashner once before.
"He throws hard, I know that," Rizzo said.
Sveum tweaked the lineup, giving Alfonso Soriano a breather, dropping Starlin Castro from No. 2 to fifth and moving Valbuena up from seventh to third. Sveum said he had to be "creative" with Soriano out of the mix. It worked, as the Cubs won for the fifth time in seven games.
"You get a lot of lefties in there, you make him work a lot harder, and that's why left-handed-hitting is so important, [because it] makes a right-handed pitcher work and sweat a lot more rather than having right-hander after right-hander up there," Sveum said.
Cashner was going to his offspeed pitches more.
"When you have seven left-handers in the lineup, you can't keep pumping fastballs in there," Sveum said.
Julio Borbon, starting in left for Soriano, singled with one out in the first and eventually scored on Castro's single to center. Feldman hit his second career double and picked up his second career RBI with one out in the second.
"Just close my eyes and swing, that's my motto," Feldman said. "I wish I could've had a couple more hits."
"There's some bat speed there," Sveum said of the pitcher, who began the night with three career hits in 26 at-bats. "That was a big hit at that time, and it kind of got things going after scoring one in the first inning after having the bases loaded and Cashner on the ropes there."
Rizzo singled to open the third and stole second, and Castro was safe on a fielder's choice as the Padres failed to get Rizzo at third. One out later, Castro moved up on a wild pitch and both runners scored on Navarro's double into the gap in right-center.
Borbon walked in the fourth and then showed his speed when he reached third on a throwing error by Cashner on a pickoff attempt and scored on Luis Valbuena's groundout to make it 5-0. Borbon also made a diving catch of Kyle Blanks' fly ball for the second out in the sixth. Nate Schierholtz added a RBI double with one out in the seventh.
Feldman now has given up two earned runs or less in each of his last four starts, and he finally went the distance.
"Getting that first one -- I hope I can get more -- but at least now I can say I got one," he said.

War in the Media
Author, syndicated columnist, and Park Scholar Tenth Anniversary Speaker Norman Solomon talks about good journalism and bad. by Erika Spaet '09
Opening the morning paper and getting fingers messy with ink is as much a ritual for many Americans as a morning cup of coffee. But according to Norman Solomon, author, syndicated columnist, and Park Scholar Tenth Anniversary Speaker Series guest, the search for good journalism should go far beyond the routine.
"Whether you're a newspaper reporter, a student, a government official, a school teacher, a librarian, or a ditch digger," he says, "we all have a responsibility and opportunity to engage in civic discourse and promote democracy." Solomon himself reads a variety of news sources each day, he says, because "there's no gospel out there."
In his February lecture, "The Media Politics of War," Solomon encouraged students, many of them future journalists, to "swim against the current" of corporate-controlled media. Solomon's dedication to independent journalism prompted him to create the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national consortium of policy analysts and researchers that provides journalists with access to experts whose voices aren't often heard.
The Ithaca audience was treated to a sneak preview of the film made from Solomon's latest book,
War Made Easy:
How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death. The documentary, produced by the Media Education Foundation, is being released this spring as the next step in Solomon's "push against the mainstream."
But that kind of push can be a scary thought for many journalism students; maintaining journalistic
integrity rarely
results in the superstardom and sizable salaries that some journalists have assumed. Park Scholar and former IPA intern Emily McNeill '08 admits, though, that she'd sacrifice fame to do what she loves. "I worry that I won't be able to have as much of an influence outside the mainstream," she says, "but I would be miserable if I felt I couldn't do the kind of journalism I believe in."
With students like McNeill at the helm of the future of journalism, perhaps media analysts and everyday readers may find more truthfulness in their news. "We can hope," says Solomon, "that there is an allegiance to journalism that draws on a diversity of sources. People should be heard and information unearthed without regard to who has power."

Foundation names Gateway teacher among best in country
At age 8, Jennifer Hoffner would play teacher, arranging her Cabbage Patch dolls and her little brother Jim in school desks around a chalkboard in her bedroom or on the back porch of the family's home near Harrison City.
"She would tell the dolls to pay attention," recalls her father, Jim Hoffner, 61, of Hilton Head, S.C. "She would talk to them about how they were learning, ask them if they liked the class."
Thirty years later, the now married Jennifer Hoffner-Turkowski is an elementary school teacher in the Gateway School District in Monroeville. And a very good one, according to the Milken Family Foundation in Santa Monica, Calif.
On Tuesday, the foundation gave her a $25,000 check and a 2012 Milken Educator Award — the teaching equivalent of an Oscar — for being one of the best teachers in the country. The presentation took place during a surprise ceremony at University Park Elementary School, where she teaches first grade.
"You walk into my room, there's a lot of energy — not just from me, but my students," a shocked Hoffner-Turkowski, 38, of North Huntingdon in Westmoreland County, said afterward. "I have high expectations."
She is one of up to 40 teachers in the country getting a Milken award this year. Since the foundation first began presenting the awards in 1987, it has given more than $63 million to more than 2,500 teachers throughout the country. She is the 51st winner from Pennsylvania.
Jane Foley, senior vice president of the Milken Educator Awards, said the prize is given to unsung teachers in early or mid-career who have achieved results from innovative practices.
"You can't apply. We don't accept nominations," Foley said. "You don't find us. We find you."
The foundation consults with state departments of education for potential winners. The departments get suggestions for recipients from educators around their state.
"We are truly blessed with tens of thousands of great teachers, and Miss H is truly an outstanding example of what we do," said Ron Tomalis, Pennsylvania secretary of education.
Hoffner-Turkowski said she doesn't know exactly how she'll spend the prize money, but she expects to give some to the school district and use some for her children. She has two sons, Zacary, 12, and Ty James, 7, and a daughter, Makenzie, 9.
Hoffner-Turkowski's path to being a teacher took a U-turn while she was at Penn State. Lured by higher salaries, she switched her major from education to health policy administration. She worked at nursing homes for several years but told her parents she regretted not being a teacher.
They encouraged her to switch back to education and gave her some money to help get her teaching certificate. She has taught in the Gateway district for eight years.
"We're happy she's doing what she loves. She's a teacher," said her father.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo volleyball team came out on the wrong end of a straight-sets sweep to visiting Florida Southern after the Mocs walked away with a 25-20, 25-15, 25-19 sweep in Sunshine State Conference action on Senior Night from the Bowman Center.
After honoring their three seniors, the Lions (12-14, 5-9 SSC) came out flat as they hit just .094 in the initial set. With the Moccasins (14-12, 8-5 SSC) grabbing the advantage, the Lions could not recover from a night where the visitors from Lakeland hit .322 and sided out at a 72 percent clip.
No Lion managed to hit in double figures with senior Danielle Bletso leading the way after dropping down eight successful attacks and rebounding from a rough first set to hit .250, a team high average. Senior Emily Calderon-Reyes notched 12 digs while the third senior, Corey Ryan, added 11 digs.
For the Mocs, Lauren Huber was one of two Florida Southern players to tally double figures in kills as she posted 12. Kate Stromberg quietly added 11 to the team total.
With the home portion of their schedule completed, the Lions will travel to St. Petersburg on Saturday morning for a neutral site game against the University of North Alabama. The match is scheduled to get underway at 11 a.m. at the McArthur Center on the campus of Eckerd College. For the latest news, updates, and information on Lions Volleyball, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

It's fall, it's football its my youngest son (32) asking if I could smoke a pork shoulder and some ribs for him to bring to Sunday afternoon football at his buddys house. Hey, whats a dad for. He bought the ribs and made his own rub and sauce. I bought a 9 lb shoulder which at $.89 lb with a $5 off coupon at Shoprite cost me about $3. Good deal, all I need to do is tend the fire.
2030 hrs on Sat night, shoulder is slathered with yellow mustard, rubbed with my sons mixture and placed on the Brinkkman.

In case you missed it, Nikola Pekovic left Monday night's game in Chicago and was originally listed as "Doubtful" to return later in the game. We now have word that Pekovic is "Out" for the next 7 to 10 days and will be reevaluated at that time due to bursitis in his right ankle. Here is the official announcement from the team on Twitter:
Nikola Pekovic Injury Update pic.twitter.com/uKD6igBuM3
— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) January 28, 2014
Well, that certainly doesn't make you feel very well, does it? Maybe the most concerning part, beyond him definitively missing the next 7-10 days, is the "He will be sidelined indefinitely". Pek has missed a number of games in season's past, but had appeared in all 44 games thus far this season, averaging a career high 18.4ppg and 9.3rpg. As you are also well aware, Pek is in the first year of his new 5 year, $60 million contract – and if all of this doesn't make Wolves' fans nervous, I'm not sure what will. (Maybe numb?)
What does this mean for the team moving forward? Well, in the next ten days, the Wolves play seven games, starting tonight at the Target Center against the Pelicans and finishing on Saturday, 2/8, home against the Blazers. Excluding the game on 2/1 against the Hawks, the Wolves will face foes from the Western Conference – the Pelicans twice, Grizzlies, Lakers, Thunder, and finishing up with the Blazers. To say this is an important stretch of games for the team is an understatement, given their current 11th place seeding in the conference. They are a game and a half behind the Grizzlies in the W/L column, so that is a huge game. They will need to find a way to beat the Pelicans and Lakers, or at least take two of those three. The Thunder and Blazer games might be too much to handle, but if they can split those two, that would be a plus.
Beyond the games ahead, and the uncertainty of when a much-needed Nikola Pekovic will return to the lineup, there might be one silver lining in all of this. There is playing time to be earned from this and two of the items I mentioned in our half-season review might be coming to fruition quickly. First, this basically forces Adelman's hand a bit in giving some playing time to Gorgui Dieng. While Ronny Turiaf will certainly receive extended minutes, Dieng will likely be seeing the floor more over the next two weeks and showcase his talents. Second, we might see a bit more of Kevin Love at the Center spot, playing alongside Dante Cunningham and LRMAM. At least one of these two is going to have to step up and play to, at least, their potential, as both have struggled mightily this season for the Pups.
I don't want to mince words, the loss of Pek is significant. The team must take a 'next man up' attitude and battle through the next few weeks. We can hope that Pek returns in that ~10 day diagnosis, but the league isn't going to shuffle the schedule for us and the team needs to push through this. A couple of questions for consideration:
- Do you think this will knock the Pups out of the playoffs?
- Who do you envision stepping up over the next two weeks?
Let's go Wolves!

Is it a coincidence that ever since the Rangers put Patrick Rissmiller on waivers, they've won three straight?
Yes, it is, actually. I'm pretty sure there is no correlation.
But that doesn't change the fact that Rissmiller's situation is a peculiar one.
The deal is this: although Rissmiller cleared waivers last week, he hasn't been assigned to Hartford, and continues to practice with the Rangers. He still counts toward the salary cap, and should the Rangers want to play him Thursday against Atlanta, they can. Of course, that's not likely to happen, so instead, Rissmiller will probably remain in the same holding pattern until the Rangers figure out something better to do with him.
Can this go on indefinitely? Yes. And no. The reality is after 10 NHL games or 30 days, the Rangers would have to again put Rissmiller on waivers, where he could conceivably be claimed by another team. But since that didn't happen the first time and teams might be skittish about his three year, $3 million contract, Rissmiller could remain in this limbo for the rest of the season.
Which is fine, except that again, Rissmiller's salary counts toward the cap, and I'll tell you right now that if the team is just looking for someone to fill a uniform in practice, I can do it for much cheaper (albeit probably not as effectively. Make that, definitely not as effectively).
So why don't they just assign him to Hartford? Since Rissmiller has cleared waivers, the player could report immediately. The problem is once he's assigned to the minor, the Rangers would have to put him through re-entry waivers if they ever wanted to bring him back up. And should that happen, other teams could be enticed into picking him up at half price (with the Rangers on the hook for the other half).
As people with the team have noted to me, that part of the CBA is the worst possible deal for veterans who aren't locked into an NHL job. Look at Andrew Hutchinson last season. Even if the defenseman couldn't make it as an every day player with the Rangers, he is someone who could have been brought up in a pinch.
But since the team risked losing him to re-entry waivers, they never did.
