For more information, see Windows Vista and Visual Studio, Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista FAQ, and User Rights and Visual Studio.
New in Visual Studio 2005 SP1
For a list of customer-reported issues fixed in this update, see Connect Bugs Fixed in Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1.
Web Application Projects
The new Web application project model provides the same Web project semantics as the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Web project model. This includes a structure based on project files and a build model based on compiling all the code for a project into a single assembly. In addition, the new project type supports many of the new features of Visual Studio 2005 (such as class diagrams, test development, and generics) and of ASP.NET version 2.0 (such as master pages, data controls, membership and logon, role management, Web parts, personalization, site navigation, and themes).
The Web application project model in Visual Studio 2005 removes two elements that are required for Web projects in Visual Studio .NET 2003:
Using FrontPage Server Extensions. These are no longer required, but they are supported if your site already uses them.
Using a local copy of Internet Information Services (IIS). The new project model supports both IIS and the built-in ASP.NET Development Server.
The following list provides a guideline for Web application project tasks. Use Web application projects when you have to do the following:
Migrate large applications from Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Visual Studio 2005.
Control the names of output assemblies.
Use stand-alone classes to reference page and user-control classes.
Build a Web application that includes multiple Web projects.
Add pre-build and post-build steps during compilation.
For more information about Web application projects, see Web Application Projects Overview.
The Visual Studio Project Designer supports Web application projects, with the following limitations:
On the Settings page, Web application projects can only be application-scoped.
On the Signing page, the manifest signing option is disabled because Web application projects do not use ClickOnce deployment.
For more information, see Settings Page, Project Designer and Signing Page, Project Designer.
Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server
Lists new features for work items, data management, and database performance.
Basic Authentication and Digest Authentication Support
A new ISAPI filter enables you to deploy Team Foundation Server more easily in environments where Internet users need access to Team Foundation Server without using a VPN connection. For more information about basic and digest authentication support, see Team Foundation Server, Basic Authentication, and Digest Authentication.
Custom Controls in Work Item Types
You can now embed custom controls on your work item forms. You can persist custom control data in work item type fields, or elsewhere. For more information about custom controls, see "Work Item Tracking Custom Controls" in the Visual Studio 2005 SDK.
Detailed Merge History
Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server only provides summary data on merge history. This makes it difficult to build any sophisticated change tracking tools that track the flow of changes through branches. This service pack includes a new Web service method and object model API that provides detailed merge history data. The new API is named QueryMergesWithDetails and is available on the SourceControl object. For more information about detailed merge history, see "Merge History" in the Visual Studio 2005 SDK.
Move the Data Warehouse SQL Server Analysis Services Database to a Separate Server
You can now increase the capacity and performance of your Team Foundation Server database tier by moving the SQL Server Analysis Services database to a separate server. After you move the database, the data tier is composed of two computers: the relational data-tier server, and the analysis services data-tier server. For more information about how to move the data warehouse, see How to: Move the Data Warehouse SQL Server Analysis Services Database to a Separate Server.
Smart Device Development
SQL Server Compact Edition replaces SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition. You will see this change reflected in dialog boxes in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE).
The eMbedded Visual C++ Upgrade Wizard is improved for SP1.
There are 15 new desktop MFC classes in the device MFC libraries.
For more information, see What's New in Smart Device Projects.
Support for SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition
Visual Studio 2005 SP1 supports SQL Server Compact Edition as a local data provider. This means you can add SQL Server Compact Edition database files (.sdf) to an application in the same way you add SQL Server Express (.mdf) and Microsoft Access database files (.mdb). For more information, see Using SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition.
New in Visual Studio 2005 Original Release Version
Development Environment
Lists new and enhanced productivity, navigation, and community features.
Productivity Features
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Settings
Predefined settings consist of customizations made to the IDE based on different types of development activities and your own customizations. These customizations include window configurations, hiding or exposing menu commands, menu and menu command name changes, keyboard shortcuts, and changing defaults for tools options, and others.
You are asked to select a predefined setting the first time that you start Visual Studio. Any additional customizations that you make to the IDE, such as adding a keyboard shortcut or changing the docking location of a window, are tracked and stored together with the predefined settings. You can reset your current settings by clicking Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Visual Studio Settings.
Exporting and Importing Settings
You can now export the settings that you use in the IDE to a file and use that file on other computers. Use the Import and Export Settings wizard, available on the Tools menu, to save all your environment settings or just specific categories of settings such as fonts and colors or editor settings. From this same wizard, you can import a settings file created by you or a trusted co-worker. For more information, see How to: Share Settings Between Computers.
Task List
The following features are available in this release:
Text display Multiple lines of text can be displayed in any row. For example, a complete description can be displayed.
Column sorting A sort triangle has been added to column headers to show that the column is sorted and whether sorting is ascending or descending.
Multiple-column sorting To sort on a second column, press and hold the Shift key and click the second column heading.
Show Columns command Specify which columns to display by using the Show Columns command on the shortcut menu for the Task List.
Move columns Columns can be moved by using the drag-and-drop method.
Show files By default, only the file name is displayed, not the path. To change the default, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click Environment. On the Task List page, clear Hide full file paths.
For more information, see Task List (Visual Studio).
Error List
The Error List helps you speed application development. In the Error List window, you can do the following:
Display the Errors, Warnings, and Messages produced as you modify and compile code.
Find syntax errors noted by IntelliSense.
Find deployment errors, certain Static Analysis errors, and errors detected when Enterprise Template policies are applied.
Double-click any error message entry to open the file where the problem occurs, and move to the error location.
Filter which entries are displayed, and which columns of information appear for each entry.
For more information, see Error List Window.
Brief and Emacs Shortcut Keys
The Code and Text editor supports a subset of the shortcut keys available in Brief and Emacs editors. For more information, see Brief Default Shortcut Keys and Emacs Default Shortcut Keys.
Window Layout Management
This release includes improved visual feedback for window docking. As you drag a tool window across a frame where it can be docked, a guide diamond appears. The four arrows of the diamond point toward the edges of the enclosing frame. Whenever the window you are dragging reaches a position where it can be docked, the arrow that points toward the edge where it can be fastened darkens.
If the window can join a tabbed group, the center of the diamond darkens. To dock the window, release the mouse. The guide diamond makes it much easier to put your active windows just where you want them. For more information, see How to: Arrange and Dock Windows.
IDE Navigator
Visual Studio now includes a way to switch between open windows and files available in the IDE, similar to the ALT + TAB feature in Windows.
The Window.NextDocumentWindowNav command can be mapped to a keyboard shortcut to let you move among open files in the editor or open tool windows. Depending on the settings that you use, Window.NextDocumentWindowNav might be automatically mapped to CTRL + TAB. For more information, see How to: Navigate Within the Integrated Development Environment.
Start Page
The Start Page has been redesigned for this release. The new Start Page consists of a single page with four separate information areas: Open an Existing Project, Getting Started, Headlines, and News. To display the Start Page, on the View menu, click Start Page.
As in earlier versions, you can open recently modified projects, quickly create projects, or view certain Help topics. You can now also access product and event information from Microsoft, and also RSS feeds from Visual Studio. For more information, see Start Page.
Community Integration
This release makes it even easier to access resources in the developer community. A new menu, which is named Community, appears in the IDE. From this menu, you can post questions to MSDN newsgroups, send product feedback to Microsoft, access useful Web sites, and search online for components to use in your applications. For more information, see Interacting with Other Developers.
You can also create and share custom project templates, code snippets, starter kits, and other items with the developer community. For more information, see Working with Community Components.
Code Editing
Lists new features and enhancements in the text editor, Web page and HTML designer, and XML editor.
Text Editor
The following features are available in this release:
Code Snippets Visual Studio now provides segments of sample code ready to insert into Visual Basic, Visual C#, or Visual J# projects. To display a list of available code snippets, right-click the active document in the Code Editor and then click Insert Snippet on the shortcut menu. Click the name of the snippet you want, and the code is inserted into the editor, ready for you to modify as needed. To manage the folders in which you store code snippets and to add new snippets, click Code Snippet Manager on the Tools menu. For more information, see How to: Manage Code Snippets.
Figure 1: Inserting snippets in Visual Basic code
Smart tags Similar to Office smart tags, Visual Studio smart tags make common tasks available that apply to the context of your work. For example, using smart tags you can now correct some common errors in Visual Basic with a click of a button.
Refactoring You can now use tools to update the internal structure of your Visual C# and Visual Basic code, a process called refactoring. Available refactoring options include rename, extract method, extract interface, change signature, and encapsulate field. For more information on C# refactoring, see Refactoring. For more information on Visual Basic refactoring, see Refactoring and Rename Dialog Box (Visual Basic).
Track Changes You can see where you have edited a file in the current IDE session. Edits are identified by a visual indicator in the margin. Lines that have been edited or lines adjacent to deleted lines are marked. When the margin is highlighted yellow, this means that the line was edited and the file has yet to be saved. If the margin is highlighted green, it means that you have saved the file since the line was edited. You can customize the highlight color in the Options dialog box by updating Track Changes before save in Display items on the Fonts and Colors page. You can turn this option off by clearing Track Changes on the General tab of the Text Editor page in the Options dialog box.
Bookmark window This tool window enables you to manage and control your bookmarks. You can put related bookmarks in folders, name them, and re-order them as you see fit.
AutoRecover This feature automatically saves files that contain changes every five minutes. If the IDE shuts down unexpectedly, files with changes are available for recovery. You can customize the AutoRecover options in the Options dialog box. For more information, see AutoRecover, Environment, Options Dialog Box.
Document Outline window The Document Outline window now supports outline views for Windows Forms in addition to ASP.NET Web pages and HTML pages. You can use the Document Outline window to navigate among the controls on Windows Forms while in Design view of the editor. To access this window, on the View menu, point to Other Windows and then click Document Outline.
Web Page and HTML Designer
Visual Studio features a new Web page designer that includes many enhancements for creating and editing ASP.NET Web pages and HTML pages. It provides a simpler, faster way to create Web Forms pages than in Visual Studio .NET 2003.
Visual Web Developer features improvements in all areas of Web site development. You can create and maintain Web sites in local folders, as in Internet Information Services (IIS) applications, or across a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) connection. The Visual Web Developer designer supports all ASP.NET enhancements, including nearly two dozen new controls that simplify many Web development tasks.
Design view of the HTML designer includes many improvements that support new ASP.NET features or enhance the WYSIWYG Web page design experience. Task-based editing using smart tags guides you through performing the most common procedures with controls, such as data binding and formatting. You can edit the new ASP.NET master pages visually. Template editing has been improved to make it easier to work with data controls as well as new controls such as the Login control. Editing HTML tables for layout or to display columnar information is now easier and more intuitive.
Visual Web Developer produces XHTML 1.1 markup by default. At the same time, you can select from a list of schemas that help you produce markup to match the abilities of different browsers or standards. HTML validation points out markup that does not conform to the selected schema.
The HTML editor also provides options to allow you to precisely control the format of all HTML and of ASP.NET markup. Formatting is preserved exactly when you switch views.
You can easily move around your documents with the new tag navigator that shows you where you are in the current hierarchy. Using the tag outline feature, you can collapse sections of the document, such as large tables.
Figure 2: Tag navigator in the Web Page Designer
For programming, the code editor provides better productivity with enhanced IntelliSense. Visual Web Developer supports both ASP.NET models for writing the code for an ASP.NET Web page, including the single-file page model and the improved code-behind model. You can reference components automatically by simply adding them to a folder in your site. Data binding is substantially easier, and in many cases requires no code at all. At the same time, you can easily access data in databases, XML files, or business objects. For more information, see What's New in Web Development for Visual Studio.
XML Editor
A new XML editor is available in this release of Visual Studio. This editor takes advantage of the power of the System.Xml and System.Xml.Xsl classes in the .NET Framework and conforms with XML standards. Some of the features included are:
Full XML 1.0 syntax checking XML and DTD syntax errors are reported while you type, and detailed descriptions appear in the Error List Window.
Validation Many XML editors require that you manually check for XSD, DTD, or XDR validation errors. The Visual Studio XML editor uses a validation engine that can perform XSD or DTD validation while you type.
Code snippets The XML editor adds dynamically generated code snippets based on your XML schemas. Press the TAB key after the element name to automatically populate the required attributes and child content. Many useful XML snippets are also provided, including a snippet for building new code snippets.
Flexible schema association The editor searches for XML schemas and automatically associates them with your document. The editor can find schemas in a schema cache directory and in your project, or by using schemaLocation attributes or user-specified locations.
XSD-based IntelliSense All IntelliSense is based on your XML schemas and the editor provides accurate IntelliSense with full support for XSD.
Auto-insertion The editor inserts attribute quotes and end tags automatically, as well as required namespace and xsi:type attributes.
Auto-formatting The editor supports the Format Selection feature, available on the Advanced submenu of the Edit menu, to auto-format when you type the closing tag or paste from the Clipboard. This feature also auto-formats code snippets.
Configurable text colors The editor includes several customizable color options for text in the Fonts and Colors, Environment, Options Dialog Box that are separate from HTML color options so you can customize the XML colors differently.
Create XML schema The editor can infer a schema from existing XML documents, which makes XSD schema design much easier. The editor can also convert your DTD or XDR schemas to XSD.
Editing XSL Additional features and color-coding for XSL keywords are available when you edit XSL. In addition, a two-pass validation algorithm is applied to ensure better XSD validation and IntelliSense with the XSLT style sheets.
Secure XSL transformations The Show XSL Output feature enables you to perform your XSL transformations securely with a single button click so you can preview the results. The editor supports writing HTML to a Web browser window and XML and text output to another code editor.
Debugging XSL The XSL debugger is new to Visual Studio and is built on the IL generating XslCompiledTransform class provided in the .NET Framework. You can now step from your C# or Visual Basic applications directly into your XSLT transforms. The XSL debugger is based on the CLR debugger; it enables you to do all the things you can normally do with a debugger, including evaluating XPath expressions in the Watch window.
For more information, see XML Editor.
Projects, Solutions, and Items
The following new features and enhancements are included:
Temporary Projects With Temporary Projects, you can create and experiment with a project without having to save it; simply create a new project and start coding.
Stand-alone projects If a solution contains only one project, you will not see the solution in Solution Explorer nor do you see commands that act on solutions in the IDE, although the solution files will still be created.
Simplified Build Provides Visual Basic 6.0-style build options for Visual Basic programmers.
Solution Folders Enables users with very large, complex solutions to organize projects by grouping them in folders in Solution Explorer.
Project Designer All project properties and settings are now centrally located in the Project Designer, including improved access to resources and strong-name signing within the IDE. For more information, see Introduction to the Project Designer.
Referencing an EXE You can now reference .EXEs as well as .DLLs in Visual Studio. Use this feature when you would like to use classes and methods which are contained in an executable.
Visual Studio Conversion Wizard Solutions or projects that were created in or upgraded to Visual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio .NET 2003 must be converted to the format that is used by this version of Visual Studio before you can work with them in this version of Visual Studio. Converted solutions or projects are no longer compatible with Visual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio .NET 2003. Using the wizard, you can choose whether to create a backup of the solution or project before it is converted. For more information, see Visual Studio Conversion Wizard.
Create Project from Existing Code Files Wizard Use this wizard to create a Visual Studio project from existing code files. The project is created on your computer and all relevant files are added to the project. When you work with this new project in the IDE, you have all the tools you need to design, develop, debug, and deploy your application. You can view, edit, build, and debug your code files using coding aids such as IntelliSense.
Solution and Project Platform Targeting In the Configuration Manager dialog box, you can now select the platform on which to build the solution, add new solution platforms, and edit existing solution platforms.
Starter Kits A starter kit is essentially an enhanced project template that can be shared with other members of the community. A starter kit includes code samples that compile, documentation, and other helpful resources to enable you to learn new tools and programming techniques while building useful, real world applications. For more information, see How to: Create Starter Kits.
Projects and Solutions options A new node has been created in the Options dialog box, called Projects and Solutions, that contains separate pages for General and Build and Run options.
Custom Project and Project Item Templates You can now easily create your own custom template for projects or project items or modify existing project and project items templates to better meet your development needs. Once created, these custom templates appear in the New Project dialog box and Add New Item dialog box. In addition to the project file and code files, the template includes an XML file that provides template metadata, which Visual Studio uses to define how to display the project in the development environment and, if you have specified the appropriate properties, to customize how the project is created in the development environment. All the files are compressed into a .zip file that can easily be shared with others. For more information, see Visual Studio Templates.
Building, Testing, and Deployment
Lists the new features and enhancements available for building, testing, and deploying applications.
Microsoft Build Engine
The Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) is the new build platform for Microsoft and Visual Studio. MSBuild introduces a new XML-based project file format that is simple to understand, easy to extend, and fully supported by Microsoft. The MSBuild project file format enables developers to fully describe what items need to be built as well as how they need to be built with different platforms and configurations. In addition, the project file format enables developers to author re-usable rules that can be factored into separate files so that builds can be done consistently across different projects within their product. The MSBuild build process is defined by atomic units of build, called tasks. You can author your own tasks in any .NET language in order to extend the build process. Visual Studio projects are now stored in the MSBuild project file format, providing the ability to customize the Visual Studio build process. MSBuild is completely transparent with regards to how it processes and builds software, enabling developers to build projects on computers without Visual Studio. For more information, see MSBuild.
Class Designer Class Designer allows you to visualize systems and applications. While you design class types, members, and methods, Class Designer generates the corresponding source code.
Object Test Bench As you code, you can use Object Test Bench to quickly test your .NET Framework or Visual J# applications.
These features are not available in Express Editions.
For more information, see Designing and Viewing Classes and Types and Object Test Bench.
ClickOnce Deployment ClickOnce deployment allows you to deploy self-updating Windows applications that can be installed and run as easily as Web applications. You can deploy Windows client and Command Line applications. There is a new Publish Project command on the Project menus. For more information, see ClickOnce Deployment.
Bootstrapping Prerequisites You can now include required system components, such as the .NET Framework runtime, as a part of a deployment project or ClickOnce deployment. For more information, see Deploying Prerequisites.
Windows Installer Deployment Improvements to Setup and Deployment projects include the ability to choose between per-user or per-machine installation, support for 64-bit deployment, and deployment to Web Servers that host multiple Web sites.
For more information, see What's New in Deployment.
Many enhancements have been made to Help, including the following:
Help viewer default Help displays in an external Help viewer, Microsoft Document Explorer, by default rather than inside the IDE.
How Do I page This page contains a list of task topics, organized by category and subcategory, for a subset of the documentation for a product. Use this page to quickly locate information by subject area.
Community integration You can access forums and newsgroups, directly from within Help, to post questions, search for interesting threads, or check the status of your post.
Search Search results now display an abstract for each topic. In addition, icons appear at the bottom of the topic abstract that provide additional information such as the programming language a topic applies to, as well as the topic source.
Figure 1: The new Help Search page
Filters You can now choose one filter for Contents and Index and a separate filter for Search. For more information, see Help Filters for Visual Studio.
For more information, see What's New in Document Explorer.
Online Help Sources
You can now choose to incorporate MSDN Online, Codezone Community, and Questions content into your Help experience. MSDN Online has the latest product documentation, including quarterly updates. Codezone Community content includes articles, samples, and other information located on select third-party Web sites, such as GotDotNet. Questions content posts from online forums.
The first time you attempt to access Help, a dialog box appears requesting that you specify your help source preferences. You can change your online Help preference at any time from the Online, Help, Environment, Options Dialog Box. You can choose to display F1 topics located on MSDN Online and perform searches on Help content located on your computer as well as the Web. For search, results are grouped by the source of the topic: Local Help, MSDN Online, Codezone Community, and Questions. Only one set of results can be viewed at a time. You can switch among the different sources' results by selecting a source on the right of your search results.

just a curiosity thread.
no need to answer if you think "they" are watching.....:p
how many mini guns do y'all own? if/when you got another, which mini would it be?
i'll start....i only own one mini :(....a stainless ranch you have seen many pictures of :p....i love it, but i have gotten it looking and shooting pretty much how i want....so, all that is left is shooting it!
i can't justify another mini in my small "collection." just too many holes in my gun hobby to justify a duplicate of ANY gun, even a gorgeous mini..i could probably sell another gun & get it....but like i said....with so few guns...2 minis seems a bit much.
once upon a time, the stainless mini tactical was quite a rarity. however, ruger has listed them again as standard staple...man, i don't know why, but i would really like to have one.
SO....if i could get another mini tomorrow...it would be a stainless tactical!
i've already got a spare wood stock waiting for it! :D
1 Attachment(s)
of course, if i'm dreaming, a new stainless tactical would look mighty fine in a factory folder....:cool:
1 Attachment(s)
I have three, four if you count the one that lives at my buddies house. One is heavily modded, one is as close to a rifle as I could get it and the last is a 580 Tactical. What stopped my projecting was the gun crunch with a gunsmith backlog and then my job ended. In the months before that all I thought about was getting ammo and ARs after Sandy Hook. I'll see if I can post a pic or so.
Crap, wrong pic. Old Savage 110 tactical

Just once. would love to see a pic with sox like these-
Attachment 113290
Was checking my inventory photos and realized they were all taken on beige carpet, me wearing beige sox- and so does everyone else!

Only tan on the end...Carhartt steel toe socks. If you are on concrete 12 hours a day they are a must. But now that I'm home if someone wants to send me a pair like yours.....I still won't wear them:eek:
ive always wanted a mini but in a caliber other than 223 or 7.62x39 i would love one in 30carbine, 30-06, 308, maybe a few others.

!83 series, used to be GB, now zombie gun I guess. Currently sits in a Choate folder with a Butler Creek swing arm.
My buddy and I will someday make a deal on my 196, I think. So it's probably gone, these will be it for me, I can spend the rest of my life messing with them. If the 196 shows up for some reason it will wear the Bayo lug sight removed from the GB,

By TomBouwer, Keynote Speaker, INSPIRE Thought Leadership Summit
Entitlement. It's an insidious disease that is crippling companies, destroying our economy, and crushing potential. It's infecting the very roots of business performance, and it's spreading fast. It isn't the recession, market volatility, scandal, or greed.
It's entitlement. And it may be killing your business.
In myriad ways, entitlement has been cultivated for decades. As a result, too many employees today believe that they are entitled for a paycheck simply because they show up for work. We have proven that we are not doomed to a path of entitlement and dependence. I know that the vast majority of employees addicted to entitlement actually want to engage, want to contribute, and want feel much better about themselves when they are in an environment that requires them to do so.
As a business owner or leader, you've probably agonized over the following questions at some point. Why can't my employees see the issues I see? Why don't they focus their attention on the important issues? Don't they understand the cost of doing business?
The problem is not that your employees lack the interest or capacity to contribute, but simply that they haven't received the education and tools to begin thinking and acting like an owner. Owners are focused on the company: sales, cash, profitability, the marketplace.

Like 2010 in much of France, Alsace saw an excellent harvest that produced wines with great concentration and focus, balanced by beautiful acidity and freshness.
The previous winter was cold and long, extending into early March. Bud break was pushed back, and a hard freeze caused damage to some vines. April remained cool but temperatures rose in May allowing the vines to progress. Flowering was late nonetheless, and a swift temperature drop during this crucial period caused further crop loss from millerandage and coulure.
The erratic weather continued into June, which saw a major hot, dry spell during its last week. July was hot, with periods of storms and rain. August was back to wet and cold, and fighting off disease became critical due to the spread of oidium and mildew. At this point in the season the grapes were behind in the ripening cycle. This turned out to be a boon, however, as the grapes felt less impact from potentially damaging rainstorms.
Finally, at the end of August the weather improved, and remained consistent through October. Temperatures slowly tapered off and drying, cool north winds allowed a long hang-time for the grapes, helping to keep sugar and acid in balance.
The resulting wines are focused and intense, with good ripe fruit and brilliant acidity and should have the structure and depth to age well. A classic vintage with many superb wines, but unfortunately a small crop and one that may have some variation given the uneven and crazy weather during the season.
One of the wine world's love-it-or-hate-it grapes, Gewürztraminer is for many wine lovers the signature variety of Alsace. Its highly perfumed aromas of rose petal, smoked meat, lychee, grapefruit, and spices are immediate and captivating, although some examples lack refinement and seem a bit blowzy owing to low acidity and high alcohol. Gewürztraminer is as unlike the steelier, more aristocratic Riesling as a white grape can be. No other region of the world has been able to produce significant quantities of Gewürztraminer that even approach the decadent richness and exotic fruit qualities that the best producers in Alsace achieve. Still, other than late-harvest versions, Gewürztraminer is normally a dry wine in Alsace, despite smelling like a sweet one. Gewürztraminer marries beautifully with rich, fatty dishes like pork and goose or ripe cheeses, as well as with the exotic spices of Moroccan, Indian, and Far Eastern cuisines.

I was one of those weekly grocery store shoppers, I would make out my menu on Sunday night and then go grocery shopping on Monday- I pretty much always stuck to my list, but there was a lot of times when I would forget things for certain meals or forget that we were out of something random and have to run to the store later that week to grab it and yes spend a lot more than just getting that one item. I enjoy cooking most of the time and planning a menu wasn't my most dreaded domestic duty, but sometimes if monday morning came and I hadn't figured it out I started to stress, and to be honest sometimes I just didn't know what the heck to put on the menu so I would sit on pinterest forever trying to figure it out every week. Now this process of planning only happens once a month!
My simple plan is this- I do a monthly menu planning session and then I shop at 2 stores- Aldi & Walmart. Then because I love fresh food and its my weekly ritual, I go to the farmers market every Saturday morning where I never spend more than $25. So for those of you who were thinking this girl must not eat any fresh food- there's my solution. :) and here are the dirty details:
First I pull out all my cookbooks and go through them, what's the use of having them if I only cook recipes off of the internet?! I mark every recipe i'm going to use with post it notes and once I have gone through the cookbooks I'll then go to pinterest and fill in the gaps. I use three different lists when I start planning the menu, a print-out of our calendar with events on it, a master grocery shopping list, and a weekly list of what I will need at the farmers market.
I also label days of the week as different types of main proteins- for instance Monday is chicken, Tuesday is fish, Wednesday is beef, Thursday is vegetarian, Friday is pizza etc. this way it really helps me fill in the calendar as i'm looking at recipes and gives a variety in our diet. So for instance say I pick fresh tomato basil pasta and pop it into the third thursday of the month, then next thing I do is go through the ingredients add what we don't have to the master grocery list and if it calls for fresh produce (which it does, tomatoes) then I will add the tomatoes to week 3 of the farmers market list. I like making the farmers market list at the same time because I made the mistake of not doing it the first month and I had to go back through every single recipe every week before I went to the market to figure out what I needed for the upcoming week.
You can see in these examples how I planned for August. I blocked off the middle two weekends because I will be out of town and i wanted to plan freezer meals for my family. I also add the initials of the source where I found the recipe after the recipe title- so Black Bean & Mango Tostadas-JBF (means just between friends, a cookbook I have) This is important because i totally forget where things come from if i don't write it down (and going through a million different cookbooks to find out where those chicken enchiladas are at 5:00pm is so not fun)
Another thing I had to figure out was how much of the basics we use. My best advice is to carefully watch over the next 2 weeks how much bread/milk/eggs/cereal/yogurt etc. your family eats and then you will know how much to buy for a month. On my calendar I only plan out dinners and a few special lunch and breakfast items here and there, but mostly its dinners, so I had to plan in advance for a month of our normal breakfast and lunch items as well as basics like milk, bread & eggs. I have two small children so the four of us don't consume a ton of food like say a family of 8 might, so thankfully I have enough room in my fridge, freezer, pantry and chest freezer to store all that I need for the month. I love my chest freezer, its a lifesaver in this situation. For instance I freeze all my meat that won't be eaten in the first week, all my bread, and in the book I read that you can freeze milk- I haven't needed to do that yet because we use about 6 gallons in a month and they all fit in my fridge and the sell by dates are almost always a month out.
Once you have your menu figured out and shopping lists made you are ready. Go shopping! I always go on a day when my husband is home to stay with the kids. I can't imagine being able to focus and get as much stuff as I do with kids in the cart. I'm a fan of Aldi so I go there first and buy everything I can (other than milk, eggs & meat because I buy organic at walmart) and then I go to walmart to buy what Aldi doesn't carry. It takes me about 2 hours total, and then another hour or so to get home and put it all away.
After I plan on paper I input it into iCal just so I have it on my computer and not on a sheet of paper I would probably loose at some point.
I can't tell you how much I love the fact that I save so much time only doing this whole process one time a month! I found it so liberating having the entire month's dinners planned, and then even more so once all the groceries were bought and ingredients in my house. It feels like a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that I don't have to stress about dinner because I have a months worth of dinners to choose from! Oh thats another thing, a lot of times I go exactly off what dinner is scheduled for what day but I also skip around if I feel like eating something thats scheduled for Friday on Monday. We're flexible around here.
You can download and print my grocery shopping lists to use HERE, If you have any questions feel free to contact me via email (there is a contact button up by my social media buttons) or leave a comment and i'll get back to you!

[acer Extensa 5620Z] I got a big big problem, please help ^^
First of all, I wanted to say that you have a great communety here. I looked around at the threads, and you got a real experts here :D
Anyway, to my problem: I have a Acer Extensa 5620Z laptop, that got only OpenSUSE. The problem is that he can't use WiFi because I think he don't have the driver..
And belive me when I say that I surfed all around the Internet for find a solusion, and as you probebly notes - I don't have him.
So... I need WiFi on my laptop... anyone? :)
Thanks you very very much,
can you post the output of lspci please? (open a terminal, and type lspci as root)
That will help us figure out what drivers you need
lol dude, I am kind of a newb when it comes to Linux and OpenSUSE :D
So, I'll be more then glad if you could simplefied the 'README' file for me :)
Yeah, that readme it a bit on the thick side. Basically you need to run four commands once you're in the directory with the extracted files:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` clean
The mark around uname -r and pwd are a backtick (`) NOT an apostrophe ('). A backtick causes those commands to be evaluated and an apostrophe won't. Basically these commands don't work with an apostrophe.
The first two command can be run as a normal user, but you'll need to be root for the last two.
You might have to load the wl module after boot (run modprobe wl as root) in order for this to work
You also may have to blacklist b43 and ssb. Try rebooting and then run lsmod. If you just see wl in the output, you're probably good to go. If you see b43 and ssb, you may have to add them to the module blacklist.
Sorry that I'm bugging you guys, but it is extemely important to me and belive me when I say that I'm grateful to you guys... :D
I'm guessing here that at least for the make commands you are in the wrong directory when you run it. You need to be in the directory containing the uextracted files from the Broadcom download. From the looks of this you are in your Desktop directory which I highly suspect is not correct.
As for depmod, you will need to be root when you run it and you may need to give the full path: /sbin/depmod -a
lol, I extracted this on the desktop..
And yes, I tryed to run the commands inside and outsie the extacted folder and it's alway come back to the same result that I showed you.. :\
that link might be helpful...you're not the only one who has struggled with this...are you sure you're running depmod -a as root? (su and then the password)?
Yeah.. I'm absolutly sure that I'm runnig this as an Adminstrator..
Well this is weird. From what I've seen, this driver compiles just fine on openSuse which suggests that your install may be missing something. Double check that both the kernel source and the kernel headers have been installed.
However, there may be a way around this. It is possible that someone has created an RPM for your kernel. Since I've never really used openSuse, I'm not sure how to go about it, but you could use your software install to and do some searching for the Broadcom wl driver (also sometimes called the sta driver).

I am experiencing a problem which is preventing me from finishing my current development project.
I need to zip a number of mp3 files located at various filepaths and enable the user to download the zip file to their system. It appears that the best way of doing this is by using php's ZipArchive class. Whilst working running the script on my localhost I accomplished this quite easily with the following code:
$archive = 'my_archive_' . time() . '.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open($archive, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
foreach ($calls as $conversation){
$url = '\\\\\\\\path\\\ o the\\\\file.mp3';
$zip->addFile($url, $conversation['MessageId'] . '.mp3');
// Set headers
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$archive");
header("Content-Type: application/zip");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
The problem is that when I run the same script on the web server, the zip archive is downloaded but the files are empty. I realise its going to be difficult for anyone to help without knowing the setup I'm using but I hoped somebody might be able to suggest why this might be? If it makes any difference the web server is IIS.
Many thanks
$url = '\\\\\\\\path\\\ o the\\\\file.mp3';
Looks you developed it on a windows machine and the live server is a *nix machine. Try using forward slashes ( / ) instead of backslashes ( \ )Oh, and just one at the time ( / ), not multiple ( // or //// )
Am I right in thinking these files are located on a network share? If so, does the account which IIS runs under have read permissions to that share?
Have you tried creating a simple script to read/display the contents of the target directory to ensure you have access? Additionally, try '"echo'ing" out the full UNC target path to see if it is what you expect.
@ScallioXTX Thanks for your reply. I tried that but I'm afraid it didn't work. The web server is also a windows machine but running IIS instead of Apache.
To expand on what Anthony is suggesting:
foreach ($calls as $conversation){
$url = '\\\\\\\\path\\\ o the\\\\file.mp3';
if(file_exists($url) && is_readable($url) && !is_dir($url)) {
$zip->addFile($url, $conversation['MessageId'] . '.mp3');
} else {
die("Cannot read file $url !");
This will test if the file exists, is readable, isn't a directory and tell you something is up if it goes wrong. The dir test may not be necessary, but past experiences have taught me to err on the side of caution.

Operations for the Copperas Cove Entrepreneur Center are on schedule to open in July, providing more resources for business owners in the area.
At the helm of the Copperas Cove Economic Development project is Diane Drussell, the corporation's business retention specialist.
Drussell recently explained to Killeen Daily Herald Business Editor Mason W. Canales how the new facility can help startup businesses.
Before joining the Cove EDC team, Drussell worked six years with the Central Texas Business Resource Center as a business counselor.
There, she assisted businesses in creating advertising tools and educating entrepreneurs about operating and starting companies.
In Copperas Cove, she organizes various business workshops, works with the Small Business Development Center of Waco and helps educate people about starting and running a business.
How many businesses fail within the first year and why?
A high percentage of startups will fail their first year. Mainly, it is for financial reasons. They don't prepare for them.
That is one of the reasons I am a big proponent for a business plan. If you do a full-blown plan, you find out your cost and profits before opening.
We recommended to have a six-month cushion in your account, and if you can, a year, because people are not just going to start pouring into your business when it opens. You have to go in prepared for running a business, and most business owners don't. They don't go in well educated either. A lot of people don't realize how much it takes to start a business. When you first start a business, it is a 24/7 dedication.
How can business owners better prepare for surviving and growing in the future?
Be ready for change. Be ready to keep up with technology. And be ready to keep up with competition.
People don't want to go into a business that sells only hotdogs with ketchup on it everyday. At some point, customers are going to get bored with hotdogs and ketchup.
Always be willing to learn, and always look for something new to learn.
What are some great tools and resources business owners can use to develop a strong business plan?
There is always the Internet. Libraries have a lot of research information that a normal person doesn't have access to.
People should also look at trade organizations, because there is a trade organization for every industry out there. You should build relationships within those trade organizations.
Some local resources are Central Texas College, which offers ... different classes you can take at a low cost. The Central Texas Business Resource Center, the Small Business Development Center and your local chambers of commerce are also great resources.
Look at every opportunity as a networking opportunity.
How does a business incubator help a business succeed and grow?
The business incubator will have all the tools needed for a business. We have your office space. We will have the overhead. We will have a shared receptionist. It will be a nice setup for one low fee.
More importantly, we have a business address for them. They don't have to work out of your basement or garage.
We will have a list of resources who are experts in those fields businesses need to operate.
The same group of experts will be teaching workshops but also be available for one-on-one business development.
They will also have access to different training from consumer service to writing formerly as a business.
How do those services contribute to the success of being a startup?
It gives them education and training while providing real-life exposure, because once they are in there, they are a real-life business.
Contact the Cove EDC at 254-501-7874 or email@example.com for more information about the Cove Entrepreneur Center.

Knowing Your Medical Rights
In this Article:
Knowing Your Medical Rights
The Patient's Bill of Rights
Patient Responsibilities
Doctors have a strong hold over many of us; we see them as authoritative figures whose academic background was grueling and whose training was rigorous. Combined with their years of practice, the safest bet seems to assume they're right on the question of our health, even if it means defying our own instincts.
Every patient, to the extent he or she can, should be an equal partner with his doctor in getting well and staying well, but this near-holy view of physicians does not for a moment suggest an equal partnership.
What often gets lost is the patient's right to question his doctor, to be uncertain about a treatment protocol, to demand a more detailed explanation of it, and to decide for himself if he wants to go along with the treatment, or refuse it.
To that end, the following piece discusses informed consent, the Patient's Bill of Rights, as well as advance directives and other topics crucial to the well-being of every patient in a doctor's care.
Informed Consent
Informed consent is built on a basic principle: Your body, your health, your life. You will be living with the outcomes of a treatment plan. Therefore, you should—and do—have the right to be informed on every aspect of treatment or a procedure until you understand it sufficiently to make an informed decision about whether you want to accept it or not. Hospitals will ask you to sign a consent form that permits them to give you medical treatment. Since they are not the same at every hospital, please consider the following tips:
• DO NOT blindly sign any forms, read them first, even if they tell you the forms are 'just standard bureaucracy' or some other excuse to hurry the process along.
• DO NOT fear asking questions and being difficult. This is your life, your health, you are entitled to a detailed explanation of your treatment
• DO NOT sign an open release form if you can help it. They permit the hospital to carry out whatever tests and procedures it wants to, thereby eliminating one element from the decision process: you. Signing an open release means they no longer need to ask you first. Make sure they need to ask you first.
You do not need to be passive about your medical treatment, although it seems to have become expected of patients, to be told that a certain procedure is 'routine' and that 'there's nothing to worry about' and to expect that you don't have any questions. Well you should have plenty of questions, and you should insist that the physician(s) or health care professionals give you the following information:
• The medical name or term, and a description, of the treatment or procedure in question.
• A comprehensive itemization of the benefits of this treatment or procedure and its risks, including the risk of disability or death
• Alternative treatment options and procedures and their benefits and risks, and why your doctor has chosen this one over the others
• What is most likely to occur, according to published statistics, if you refuse.
• The odds that the treatment will be successful, along with your doctor's definition of 'successful.'
• What you can expect while you recuperate, and how long it might be before you can resume your daily life.
• Side effects that can affect you directly, personally or professionally. Perhaps one risk of the proposed treatment is compromised vision; this risk may not be remotely acceptable to you.
• Additional information pertaining to your situation including what it will cost, whether you have health insurance or not.

Achieving such a feat is considered one of the highest accolades in the sport, but credit where credit is due for doing so at the fourth time of asking in the Premier League. Tongue out of cheek for a second, it was actually an impressive performance at West Ham United, who offered not all that much because City were having one of those good days.
They had the same type of day under manager Manuel Pellegrini in the Manchester derby, when the team clicked and the likes of strike partnership Sergio Aguero -- one of the best players in the world right now -- and Alvaro Negredo formed a seemingly telepathic partnership. It is now the Chilean coach's job to put a bow on this level of display, for consistency wins back Premier League titles.
And there is work to be done. They were sloppy at the back during midweek in the Champions League, stressing that captain Vincent Kompany's continued absence is a blow to the Achilles' heel -- Javi Garcia has hardly proved he is a capable central midfielder since his move from Benfica, let alone a centre-back. Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge is the third of four in a row on the road, with a trip to Newcastle in the Capital One Cup just around the corner.
As for Chelsea -- who face Arsenal 48 hours later in the Capital One Cup -- they've scored 14 goals in their last four games in all competitions, which spells that their wealth of attacking options are beginning to gel quite nicely. There is even talk of Fernando Torres being "back," but this is a path well trodden, so let's not revisit it until he's maintained the excellence he showed against Schalke over the course of a campaign.
Poyet pressure in Wear-Tyne derby
The size of the task that new Sunderland manager Gus Poyet faces was rammed down his throat as his side capitulated in the second half at Swansea to lose 4-0. For the Uruguayan, watching their collapse must have been as comfortable as digesting a pine cone. "We need strong characters to go in there and react to adversity," said Poyet in the wake of the loss, with the words having a Paolo Di Canio ring about them as the Italian was not shy in his criticism of the gutlessness of his former squad.
In Poyet's first match in charge at the Stadium of Light, a loss to city rivals Newcastle is unthinkable. But it is not beyond the realms of possibility, for Alan Pardew's side have demonstrated what Poyet is seeking of his players in recent matches by sticking together and playing gritty. A 2-1 win at Cardiff was the perfect response to their horror 45 minutes at Everton, while a point earned against an admittedly profligate Liverpool while playing with 10 men for 50 minutes was impressive.
Managerless Crystal Palace spiralling down
And so Ian Holloway's return to the top flight lasted just eight fixtures -- no more kookiness for us, dear friends of the footballing "characters" of this world. No, the writing was on the wall as to concede four goals against a Fulham side that had previously scored six in seven outings was unacceptable.
There were few grumblings about the departure of Holloway, who appeared to lack the belief he'd avoid relegation following a scattergun summer of recruitment -- of which the nadir was Florian Marange being brought in only not to make the 25-man Premier League squad.
At the time of writing, former Stoke boss Tony Pulis is the favourite to come in at Selhurst Park, paving the way for a lot of high passes aimed at the head of Marouane Chamakh. Oh, it's Arsenal at home next, whose reaction to their setback against Borussia Dortmund will be worth keeping tabs on. In fact, a win against such a struggling side ahead of matches versus Chelsea, Liverpool, Dortmund and Manchester United is a must.
United unconvinced by David Moyes
A 1-1 draw at home to Southampton unsurprisingly did not placate those Manchester United fans who are yet to be won over by David Moyes. Among the points of concern is Moyes' apparent lack of ambition in his tactics, and that in particular irks as he follows in the footsteps of Sir Alex Ferguson who would go for the jugular in the latter stages of matches.
Bringing on Chris Smalling and Ryan Giggs hardly helped quell the fears as in-form Southampton grabbed a deserved point at Old Trafford, meaning United have won just one of their four league matches at home this season. An edgy 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad during midweek has temporarily stemmed the pressure, but until United blow a side away then cautious Moyes will be swimming against the tide, presumably wearing armbands.
Stoke are the visitors to the champions on Saturday, a team very much "in transition," or, in another word, "struggling." Indeed, Mark Hughes' team have failed to score in each of their last three matches, making them the lowest scorers in the division with 0.5 goals a game managed. With this in mind, nothing but a routine success will do for United, who currently reside nearer on points to the relegation zone than they do top spot.
More really good goals, please
We've been spoiled in the last week. The team goal that Jack Wilshere finished in Arsenal's win over Norwich -- all four of the Gunners' goals were high quality, in fairness -- was the objet d'art that Arsene Wenger has been searching for all these years, as his team finally and actually did "walk it in." Then on Monday, Pajtim Kasami scored a volley that led to a clattering of jaws hitting the floor across the land. It seems unlikely either of those goals will be topped before the completion of the 2013-14 season, though it will be fun finding out.

One of my favourite trans personalities, Jessica Who, just disappeared for no apparent reason a few years ago. She had come out to her wife, was getting into stand up comedy, had been on a reality show/documentary and was also an up and coming Youtube celebrity. She seemed to be getting quite a large public profile and was very happy being out, and then suddenly out of the blue, she was gone.
Does anyone know what happened to her? It would be nice to know that she is ok.

Play it smart this Cyber Monday
Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:04:12 GMT —
Cyber Monday ... the much hyped online holiday shopping season, may be little more than a clever marketing ploy.
Cyber Monday is catching up to Black Friday sales.
Consumers spent a record $32.6 Billion dollars online last year.
Analysts expect double digit growth rates this year.
Here are three shopping strategies that will help you play it smart.
First, be skeptical. Many of the deals you'll find on Cyber Monday may be available throughout the holiday season. Don't feel pressure to buy.
Another tip | do your research. You can compare prices with little more than a mouse click. So, make a list of the must-have's on your wishlist and visit sites like pricegrabber.com or CNET.com.
Finally, stack those coupons. One coupon is great, but two is even better. Go to retailmenot.com or promotional codes dot com to download coupons and shipping discounts from various retailers.
Spending a few hours online, in the comfort of your own home or office could save you big time in the long run.
This year you can expect early sales and limited inventory for the holiday shopping season.

Zotac GeForce GT 640 DDR3 Review: Glacial Gaming & Heavenly HTPCby Ryan Smith & Ganesh T S on June 20, 2012 12:00 PM EST
HTPC Aspects : What is New?
We covered discrete HTPC GPUs in detail last year, and noted that the GT 520 was the sign of interesting things to come from NVIDIA.
The GT 520 was the first GPU from NVIDIA to come with support for VDPAU Feature Set D (also called as VP5 by some). VP5 is faster than VP4 and also brings support for decode of 4K x 2K videos. Unfortunately, the GT 520 didn't have the necessary hardware to output 4K resolution over any of its video outputs. The number of shaders in the GT 520 was also too low to support advanced deinterlacing algorithms. On the whole, despite the updated video processing engine (VPU), we couldn't recommend the GT 520 as the ideal discrete HTPC GPU.
All our concerns were supposed to be laid to rest with the launch of the Kepler series. NVIDIA started off at the high end with the GTX 680, a card which couldn't be called HTPC-friendly by any stretch of imagination. The more HTPC-friendly GK107 did see a simultaneous launch, but in mobile-only form as the 640M.
Given the configuration of GK107, it appeared likely that a desktop version would tick off all the boxes necessary for a HTPC. Does the Zotac GT 640 fulfill our expectations? The short answer is: Yes, it does! It improves upon the performance of the GT 430 with respect to madVR, thanks to the extra computational power and memory bandwidth. Meanwhile the updates to the video outputs (HDMI PHYs) and the retention of the VPU from the GT 520 enable decode and display of 4K videos in their native resolution.
However, these updates don't mean that NVIDIA's GPUs are perfect for HTPCs. Just like every other HTPC GPU vendor out there, NVIDIA has a list of things which need to be fixed from a HTPC perspective, which we'll dive into in a moment.
Another important update present in the Kepler series is the on-board H.264 encoder. The practice of integrating a H.264 encoder in the GPU was started by Intel in Sandy Bridge. While Intel has the second generation version of QuickSync in the Ivy Bridge processors, AMD and NVIDIA are just now starting to ship their first generation encoders (VCE and NVENC respectively).
Both VCE and NVENC are yet to gain widespread support amongst the software vendors, and NVIDIA themselves indicated that full support for NVENC in CyberLink's and ArcSoft's offerings would be coming sometime next month. Keeping this in mind, we have decided to postpone NVENC coverage to a later date.
In the next few sections, we will look at the HTPC aspects of the Zotac GT 640. Before delving further into that, the details of our testbed are provided below:
|Zotac GT 640 HTPC Testbed Setup
|Processor / GPU
|Intel Core i7-3770K - 3.50 GHz (Turbo to 3.9 GHz)
|Zotac GT 640
|Asus P8H77-M Pro uATX
|OS Drive
|Seagate Barracuda XT 2 TB
|Secondary Drive
|Kingston SSDNow V+ 128 GB SATA II SSD SNV325-S2/128GB
|G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) F3-10666CL7D-4GBECO CAS 9-9-9-24
|Antec VERIS Fusion Remote Max
|Power Supply
|Antec TruePower New TP-550 550W
|Operating System
|Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
|Display / AVR
|Sony VPL-VW 1000ES
|Sony KDL46EX720 + Pioneer Elite VSX-32
|Acer H243H
|Graphics Drivers
|GeForce R300 Series v301.42 WHQL
|CyberLink PowerDVD 12
|LAV Filters 0.50.5
|madVR 0.82.5
Note that we used three different HDMI sinks for our testing. While the fancy Sony VPL-VW 1000ES was used to test out 4K resolution output, the Sony KDL46EX720 + Pioneer VSX-32 was used to verify HD audio bitstreaming. The rest of the tests (including HQV benchmarking) were performed with the Acer H243H monitor.

MrSpadge - Thursday, June 21, 2012 - linkAnd they support newer features and cost significantly less to run. Still, the price is ridiculous, especially for DDR3. Reply
Taft12 - Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - link"Zotac has worked themselves into an interesting position as the only partner currently offering a single-slot card"
I think EVGA's launched even before Zotac. No blocked mini-HDMI port either!

nathanddrews - Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - linkFirst off, I want to thank you for testing the 4K capabilities of this card. While disappointing that there is no DP output for 4K@60Hz, I suppose it's only a matter of time.
Second, and more important, I wanted to make you aware of this in case you haven't seen it. Shot in 4K, edited in 4K, mastered in 4K and you can buy it in any format including Blu-ray (1080p), 2560x1440p, and even its raw 140GB 4K Cineform resolution. Seeing as how one of you awesome people now has the Sony 1000ES (jealous!), you definitely shouldn't waste time showing 4K YouTube clips!

Hrel - Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - linkI saw a GTX560 on newegg for 145bucks after MIR today. Whenever people ask me about gaming cards and say they don't want to spend much more than 100 bucks I say, cut back on coffee for a week or skip that night at the bars and just spend the extra 30 bucks or so. Makes absolutely NO sense to handicap yourself over 30 bucks. GTX560 FTW!!! Reply
just4U - Thursday, June 21, 2012 - linkThat's pretty much where the 7750 comes in. Performance overall is fairly similiar. Plus you can do away with the confusion since the 560 comes in 4-5 different flavors, yes? Reply
maroon1 - Saturday, June 23, 2012 - linkWhat ?! GTX 560 is much faster than even HD7770.

Lolimaster - Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - linkSo slow that a 6670 feels like high end and 7750 a total monster. $109 for these joke of a gpu (gt640)? You must be trolling. Reply
Lolimaster - Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - linkA8 5800K is a tiny bit slow thatn 6670 so it should be faster (for free with the APU) than a $109 nvidia discrete gpu. Reply
bhima - Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - linkThis card is horrible. I was initially unimpressed with AMD's 7750 and 7770 performance, but now those cards just look beastly compared to this. This should be a $50-60 card at max for that kind of performance. Hell I think my 540m performs almost as good as this card. Reply
staryoshi - Wednesday, June 20, 2012 - linkGDDR5 would have really lifted the performance of this card. I'm sure they went with GDDR3 as a cost-saving measure and to not canibalize the sale of other cards.. but at this price point it's not a compelling item at all for most.
They really need to get the 28nm process under control and wrangle in pricing on this pup. Reply

2013: The Year in Letters and Notes
Some say that letter writing is dead, but 2013 proved it's very much alive and that personal notes can amuse, inspire, and, yes, enrage millions of readers. In fact, the power of handwritten notes was spotlighted in a controversy over a homophobic message written on a restaurant receipt denying a waitress tip because she was gay. When the incident was revealed as a hoax, waitress Dayna Morales was fired and forced to return donations that had come pouring in from unsuspecting supporters.
Some of Yahoo Shine's most popular stories of the year were about missives and notes that leaked to the Internet, including what might be the most brilliantly sarcastic breakup letter in the history of jilted lovers. The post, Best Break-Up Letter Ever: Ask 'Kelsi' Where Your Stuff Is, touched a nerve with our audience: It received more than 40,000 likes on Facebook and 14,000 comments. Here are more of our favorites. — Sarah B. Weir, Shine Senior Writer

JERUSALEM (Nov. 3)
Extension of a trade agreement with Rumania, and the negotiation of trade pacts with Bulgaria and Iceland, were announced here today by the Foreign Ministry.
The pacts were negotiated by Israeli delegates at last week's annual meeting of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, in Geneva. The Rumanian agreement, renewed for a year, provides for an equal exchange of $1,500,000 worth of goods between the two countries. Bulgaria and Israel, under the new pact, will exchange $500,000 worth of goods. Iceland will export to Israel fish, fish oil and fish meal, receiving in return textiles and other light-industry products.

Bill Self officially kicked off Big 12 media day when he arrived at the podium a little after 8:00 AM on Thursday morning. While the University of Kansas men's basketball team is less than a week into practice, Self is extremely excited about this Kansas team team.
"First of all, I hope you guys are as excited as I am about being here at 8:00 this morning," said Self with a laugh. "I am excited about our team and I'm excited about our league. Our team is totally different from last year. We lost six key players off a pretty good team last year. We recruited fairly well, but didn't get a chance to coach all the guys we recruited due to some NCAA (academic) situations.
"We're a very thin team that's pretty talented, but certainly less margin for error, because we don't have the depth that we've had in years past," he added. "The league will be terrific again and there will probably be as much parity as there ever has been."
Gone from last year are Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris, Josh Selby, Tyrel Reed, Brady Morningstar and Mario Little. Kansas finished the year 35-3, earned a No. 1 seed for the second straight year and was one win away from advancing to the Final Four for the second time under Self.
Fast-forward to the 2011-12 season, and much has changed. Just two players, Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson, have played significant roles for the Jayhawks. While Conner Teahan, Jeff Withey, Elijah Johnson, and Travis Releford have, at different times, played big roles for Self's squad, none have done it consistently.
With so many key losses and the addition of Naadir Tharpe, Justin Wesley, Merv Lindsay, and Kevin Young, a number of players will not only see their role increase, but could be looked upon as a leader.
While different players will take on different roles throughout the season, Self made it perfectly clear that KU will lean on two players in particular this season.
"One thing about having reduced numbers, it forces guys into roles," said Self. "No question that Tyshawn Taylor will be the leader of our team and Thomas Robinson will be the emotional leader of our team. Ty has done a great job and has paid his dues. He (Tyshawn) has really learned how to communicate by not only getting on guys, but talking to them and teaching.
"I think night in and night out those two should be constants," he added. "They may not always play well, but I think that they care so much and have been around long enough, that they'll do whatever they have to do to give us the best chance, from a tangible standpoint. In large part, because they don't have the personalities around them that we've had in the past that kind of forces their hand in doing so."
Robinson, the 6-foot-9, 237-pound forward from Washington, D.C., is coming off a season in which he averaged 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. In 33 games, he connected on 60.1 percent of his field goals and 51.0 percent of his free-throws.
However, Robinson's role is expected to change significantly this season. With the Morris twins preparing for what will likely be a very short NBA season, Robinson's work load offensively will increase.
"He's got to have improvement very similar to what Cole Aldrich had between his freshman and sophomore year," said Self. "Cole goes from a guy that only played six or eight minutes a game to a guy, I think, that may have made second team All-American, or third team All-American, the very next year.
"He needs to be an All-American for us," he added. "I don't know about first team or whatnot, but he needs to be a guy that's one of the best 10-15 players in the country, to be real candid. I think he has the ability to play at a high, high level like that, but the thing about it is, he is still very inexperienced."
