The suave looking MSI Z87 MPOWER
Subject: Motherboards | October 28, 2013 - 02:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Z87 MPOWER, widi, msi, lga 1150
The Z87 MPOWER that [H]ard|OCP just reviewed is great at wireless connectivity, including WiFi, BlueTooth and WiDi as well. It is no slouch on wired connectivity either with 8 available SATA 6Gbps port and a similar number of USB 3.0 ports but what is relatively rare is onboard support for 3 displays. Those features help sell it as a base for an HTPC but you can also make it a powerful gaming machine as it can handle 3-Way CrossfireX and 2-Way SLI as well as sporting Lucid's VirtuMVP 2.0. There were some issues with MSI's bundled software utilities but the physical board its self performed well enough to pick up a Silver Award; check out the full review to see the board in action.
If you missed Morry's review of this board you should definitely go back and read it.
"The "M" series motherboards from MSI have gained a lot of recognition recently being an upper quality not-so-high-priced motherboard for the computer hardware enthusiast. However while MSI brings us some of the best hardware you'll find on the current market seemingly goes a bit off course with firmware and software."

This workshop is partially supported by the Clay Mathematics Institute. The goal of the workshop is to focus on some long term developments in Algebra, Geometry and Computation. It will bring together individuals working in these different areas who by-and-large have not had the opportunity to interact with one another, much less collaborate with each other. Despite this lack of opportunity, there a great deal of common mathematics which can be shared by this group. Specifically, the main topics of the workshop will be:
- Enumerative and birational geometry of the moduli space of curves.
- Homological algebra.
- Symbolic computation.
- Commutative algebra.
- Postulation, equations, and syzygies.
- Special varieties.
It is not a coincidence that these topics represent areas in which MSRI's Director, David Eisenbud, has made seminal research contributions. The timing of the workshop also coincides with David's 60th birthday and occurs as he is preparing to step down as Director at the end of this academic year. Thus this workshop will also afford the opportunity to honor David's many and varied lifetime contributions to the vitality of the mathematical sciences. Invited speakers include: Vladimir Arnold*, Luchezar Avramov, David Buchsbaum, Mark Green, Juergen Herzog, Melvin Hochster, Sheldon Katz, Gennady Lyubeznik, Shigeru Mukai, Mircea Mustata, Irena Peeva, Sorin Popescu, Michael Singer, Greg Smith, Karen Smith, Mike Stillman, Bernd Ulrich.

If you could look around our house you could see there are no valuables. The most valuable thing in our house is the people who live there. But we were not going to be there. We were going to be in Paris having a fabulous vacation. —Sara Tetreault, A frugal-living blogger
When Sara Tetreault in Portland, Ore., first heard about home exchanges in 2004, she thought it sounded awesome.
A friend told her about a friend who swapped homes for a week with somebody in San Francisco — for free.
"It sounded awesome," she says, "Then I thought, 'Wait a minute. How did they do this?'"
Tetreault found a home exchange company on the Internet and signed up. It wasn't exactly free, but the $100 annual membership was less than one night in a hotel.
It wasn't long before a couple in Paris contacted her and asked if she would be interested in an exchange.
"I said yes immediately," Tetreault says.
Then she told her husband.
"I just thought, 'No way!'" her husband Brad recalls. "Why would we do that? It was just so foreign, the whole idea. We just can't have people in our house. She definitely had to talk me into it."
For many home swappers, the economy talked them into trying it. A pre-summer 2013 study by American Express found that 31 percent of travelers planned to spend more than $1,000 per person summer vacations. The total expected summer travel expenses averaged $1,145 per person — or about $4,580 for a family of four.
In an era of rising lodging fees, one home exchange company, LoveHomeSwapp.com, says its members "save an average of $3,487 per vacation." That doesn't mean, however, that the vacationer would have spent that much if they hadn't swapped homes.
Who does this?
Ed Kushins, founder and CEO of HomeExchange.com, says in an email exchange with the Deseret News that more than any other period in time, people are making travel a part of their lives. "But because of the economy," he says, "they are looking for ways to do so inexpensively."
He also says the other reason people choose to do home exchanges is because of the growing sharing economy: "People are looking for more eco/green-friendly ways to do things, and by exchanging and sharing items, such as your home, bicycle, car, etc., you essentially reduce your carbon footprint."
A recent study of HomeExchange.com members by Italy's University of Bergamo found that 62 percent of home exchangers had a high level of education, 98 percent are interested in cultural heritage, 84 percent visit parks and museums and 73 percent say organic food is important to them.
Why do this?
Sara Tetreault is a frugal-living writer who blogs about "stylishly frugal living" at GoGingham.com, so cost was one of the big attractions for her back in 2004. Her husband, Brad, however, was still not convinced that letting strangers from Paris in their home was a good idea and was worried about all their valuables.
"If you could look around our house you could see there are no valuables," she says. "The most valuable thing in our house is the people who live there. But we were not going to be there. We were going to be in Paris having a fabulous vacation."
Kushins with HomeExchange.com says the fear about personal belongings being safe is one of the biggest challenges the company has. "If you think you'll be worried about your home the entire time you're on your vacation," he says, "it's likely not for you."
Tetreault's family gave it a try, taking their young kids with them to Paris (the University of Bergamo study found that 49 percent of exchangers travel with children). Since 2004 they have swapped homes with people in Vienna, Austria; Alicante, Spain; Gouda, Netherlands; Victoria, British Columbia; Greece; San Francisco; and other places.
How to do this
Shelley Miller is a home exchange expert, which you can tell by the name of her website, HomeExchangeExpert.com. Miller says there are three types of exchanges people do.
One way is a simultaneous exchange, where the families live in each other's homes at the same time.
Another way is non-simultaneous. Miller did this when a family in Hong Kong went to Thailand and offered their empty home to her in exchange for the opportunity to visit San Diego later. When the people came to San Diego, Miller's family went to visit relatives.
The third way is hospitality exchanges where the host family is still there. Miller's husband, for example, traveled solo to Istanbul, Turkey, where he stayed with a family.
Miller says that larger exchanges, such as Home Exchange, based in California that has 44,000 members, Love Home Swap based in London that has 35,000 and Intervac based in Sweden that has 30,000, will give people more options just because of the sheer numbers of people. She says, however, that if a person wanted to exchange with somebody in France, it might be wise to find an exchange that has a lot more French members.
People can request an exchange, or like Tetreault (who used Intervac), they may have someone contact them.
Miller says she starts six months to a year before she wants to go somewhere, contacting possible exchangers. Travelers exchange emails and talk to each other over Skype. They discuss the best times and things to see. They may even, if they want, exchange signed agreements about the exchange.
"People are usually worried about having a stranger in the home," Miller says. "What happens is people don't exchange with strangers. If you don't feel a connection with somebody, you don't exchange. But if you do, by the time you exchange you've already become friends."
This doesn't mean, however, that things can't go wrong.
Exchange glitches
Tetreault says on one exchange she accidently broke not one, but two fancy wine glasses. When she called the couple staying in her home, they confessed that they had broken a toilet seat.
She says it is a good idea to check homeowners insurance and, if your exchange also involves cars, automobile insurance to make sure everything is covered.
Miller says her family went on an extended vacation in 2000, exchanging with five different families from April to August.
"The only changes, when we came home, were the cups and dishes were in different cupboards."
There are a few rare horror stories that have made the news — but most of those have been when people have rented out their homes or second homes using vacation rental websites like Airbnb or Home Away From Home.
The Tetreaults' "horror story" took place during their exchange with a couple from Gouda in The Netherlands. The couple neglected to let the family know they had chickens, so the Tetreaults had to feed the birds and gather eggs.
As it turned out, the horror turned to fun and the family liked it so much (and the fresh eggs) that they now have their own chickens in their Portland backyard.
Paris versus home
For some people, the problem might not be that they are afraid of strange Hawaiians sleeping in their bedroom, but that no self-respecting Hawaiian would ever agree to exchange to stay in their dull home in Vernon Hills, Ill.
Miller says this is not necessarily a problem. "Maybe someone has a conference they have to go to in Dullsville," she says. "Maybe a cousin lives there. Maybe the dates are not working out for other places."
People may have never considered to visit a particular place, but after talking with each other they might discover they have kids the same age with bikes in the garage, and it sounds like just the thing they would like to try.
"You never know why someone may want to come to your area," Tetreault says. "It could be a wedding, graduation or a family reunion. They need to travel and staying in a home is so much nicer than staying in a hotel."
And less expensive as well.

Dos and don'ts for home exchanges
From Ed Kushins, HomeExchange.com CEO
- Get to know the person or family you are swapping with. Talk on the phone, swap recent photos and video-chat over Skype.
- Ask for referrals about prior exchanges. This will tell you a lot about the person/family and home you are swapping with.
- Agree on the ground rules for your exchange
- Leave some local tips and eateries for the person/family who will be staying in your home.
- Exchange cell phone numbers and leave a manual on how things work in your home, when plants need to be watered, etc.
- Don't leave your home a mess or the person you're swapping with a mess. The general rule is to leave the house exactly as you found it.
- Don't leave your valuables exposed.
- Don't lead someone on and always market your property honestly.
- Don't cancel, as people have spent money on airfare. Respect your obligation.
- Don't worry! Home exchange is much easier than you think.

Match-ups set for 2013 Women's Premier League Championship
The 2013 Women's Premier League season concluded last weekend with two teams finishing with a perfect 6-0 record.
The Glendale Raptors faced a stern test from Beantown at Infinity Park Saturday, but prevailed with a 48-20 win to earn a spot in the top tier of the WPL Championships, set for Nov. 8 and 10 in Cherry Hill, N.J. Though they fell behind after only two minutes, the Raptors took control of the game after 20 minutes and extended a 17-10 halftime score to earn their sixth victory.
Twin Cities Amazons put 70 points on the board in shutting out WPL newcomers Atlanta Harlequins Sunday. The 70 points represents the most points scored by a team this season and, coupled with the shut out, jumps the Amazons ahead of Glendale with a point differential of 250.
Eagles Lynelle Kugler and Stacey Bridges combined for four tries for the Amazons, while USA Rugby AIG Women's Collegiate All-Americans Mel Krug and Jacie Vonada combined for five in the win.
The Berkeley All Blues, last year's WPL champions, handed the San Diego Surfers their fifth loss of the season. Berkeley will face Glendale in the second top tier match at the WPL Championships.
The DC Furies held their own against New York at home, defeating the visitors 19-7 to earn a date with the Surfers in the bottom tier of the WPL Championships. New York will participate in the other bottom tier match against the Harlequins.
The Women's Premier League Championships kick off Friday, Nov. 8, on the South Jersey Rugby Pitch in Cherry Hill, with the second day set for Sunday, Nov. 10. Watch the Championships live on USA Rugby TV. For the complete schedule, visit the WPL website and be sure to use #WPLRugby on Twitter.

Director's Corner
6 December 2007
China prepares for a new generation of tau-charm physics
The BEPC accelerator and BES detector facility are the centerpieces of the Institute of High Energy Physics in Beijing. These ambitious state-of-the-art facilities act as the follow-on to the pioneering studies at SPEAR of tau and charm physics. During the International Linear Collider CCAST workshop at IHEP last month, we had a tour of the accelerator facility and by fortuitous timing, we joined in their celebration of achieving a major milestone for the BES detector: the successful installation of the central drift chamber. The upgraded accelerator and detector at IHEP promise to produce important tau-charm physics, as well as to train a new generation of particle and accelerator physicists. The development of particle physics over the past decade at IHEP and its participation in the global particle physics programme put China in a position to be an important player in the next generation of particle physics experiments, including Daya Bay neutrinos, the Large Hadron Collider and the ILC.
Wang Yifang, Associate Director and Director of the Center for Experimental Physics of IHEP, dedicating the inserted drift chamber (on the left).
Schematic of the BES III detector
The upgrade of IHEP's BEPC/BESII accelerator and detector to BEPCII/BESIII with a peak luminosity of 1033cm-2s-1 will enable a set of high-precision experimental studies in the tau-charm energy region. Such measurements are intrinsically important in measuring the various parameters of electroweak interactions in the Standard Model. The programme will yield precise data of perturbative and non-perturbative QCD with J/Ψ and other charmonium decays. There is also the possibility that such precision measurements could indicate new physics beyond the Standard Model. The experimental programme at IHEP will complement and add to studies performed at other precision facilities, like the B factories at SLAC and KEK. They will also complement the probes at the energy frontier using LHC and ILC.
BEPCII is a high-luminosity, multi-bunch collider using a double-ring scheme and designed for a peak luminosity of 1033cm-2s-1 at 1.89 GeV. This new facility is the result of a major upgrade of the original BEPC-accelerators consisting of a 202 metre-long electron-positron linac injector and storage ring with circumference of 240.4 metres. The double-ring, multi-bunch configuration enables substantially improved luminosity because of the larger number of colliding bunches. IHEP made good progress this year in commissioning the machine, including electrons and positrons injectors, stored beams, and multi-bunch collisions. The measurements of the storage ring parameters are in agreement with the design goals.
The general-purpose detector BESIII has also been upgraded with modern detector technology in order to accommodate the multi-bunch operation. The installation and commissioning are well underway and making very good progress, including the cooling down of the superconducting magnet in February 2007 to stable running. The assembled detector should be moved into the interaction region early next year and then tested soon after with initial running.
It is exciting to see new facilities come into operation. I am sure I speak for the international HEP community in welcoming this important new particle physics facility in China.

Best Practices for Employee Onboarding
Imagine it's your first day at a new job. You arrive at an office where no one seems to be expecting you. After locating your workstation, you realize that no one has shown you how to log into your computer or get an outside line on your phone. You do not have a clear idea of what you are expected to do first in your new job. Your supervisor is nowhere to be found, and you are starting to question your decision to accept this position.
As the above scenario suggests, an organization never gets a second chance to make a first impression with its new hires. Investing in employee on-boarding ensures that an organization is prepared for and committed to positioning its new hires for success in their roles.
Effective employee on-boarding serves three interrelated purposes. First, it ensures that the new hire feels welcomed, comfortable, prepared, and supported. In turn, this leads to the new hire's ability to make an impact within the organization, both immediately and over time. Finally, employee success leads to satisfaction and retention, which allows the organization to continue to meet its mission.
In order to position a new hire for success, it is important that an organization prepares in advance and continues to support a new hire throughout the first several months (and beyond). This article explores some established best practices for employee on-boarding procedures.
Before the First Day
Preparing for a new hire's start date is the first step in ensuring effective on-boarding. Start by completing an agenda for the first week on the job. As part of the agenda, schedule times for the new hire to meet with key staff members.
Provide staff members with the new employee's resume and job description, and advise them to follow a meeting format that includes sharing a description of their own position, how their role interacts with that of the new hire, and how they might expect to work together in the future.
This is also a good time to assign a mentor or buddy to the new hire as an immediate resource for any questions, help them build a network, educate them on resources, and give key information about organizational culture and goals.
Next, create a comfortable workstation for the new hire. Stock his or her workstation with the tools needed to hit the ground running, such as paper, pens, computer, phone, keys, and business cards. Make sure that voicemail and email accounts are set up. Leave a copy of an organization chart, staff list and phone directory on the new hire's desk. If your organization has an employee handbook, leave this on the desk as well, along with all administrative forms such as employment, direct deposit, and benefits so that they will be ready to be completed on day one.
To really impress new hires on their first day, add any branded collateral that you can spare such as a logo backpack, hat, pen, tee-shirt or mug to your new hire's new desk.
Finally, make sure to communicate with your new hire before the first day to confirm logistics such as driving directions, parking, public transportation, expected arrival time, dress code, plans for lunch on the first day, person to ask for on arrival, etc.
The First Day
The first day of a new job can rattle the nerves of even the most experienced professional. The better prepared you are to welcome the new hire on his or her first day, the easier this transition will be for everyone.
Schedule a particular staff member to be available to greet the new employee and give an office tour. During the office tour, introduce the new hire to all staff members as well as pointing out the copy machine, mail room, employee mailboxes, lunch room, and restrooms. Remember that new hires are asked to absorb a lot of information in a short amount of time, so encourage them to take notes and expect that they will have questions about these things later.
Balance the first day schedule between orientation, meetings, and less formal gatherings. If possible, arrange for the new hire to be treated to lunch on the first day by a group of staff members.
Schedule a meeting with the employee's supervisor for the first afternoon. During this meeting, the supervisor should review the responsibilities of the position and give an overview of what the first 30-90 days in the position will look like.
The First Week
While the first day entails presenting basic information to the new hire, the first week focuses on setting expectations and developing relationships with staff, particularly the supervisor of and any direct reports to the new hire.
During the first week, the supervisor and new hire should meet to discuss desired management style and information about typical processes, such as how decisions are made. This is also the time to begin the most important aspect of on-boarding, which is setting expectations about deliverables, timelines and performance metrics. It is essential that such plans and goals be clearly communicated at the outset of the relationship in order to position a new hire for success in his or her role. The two most common errors when on-boarding new employees are: (1) expecting higher performance and faster learning curves than is reasonable, and (2) leaving employees to wonder what they should be doing and what is expected of them by their new managers.
If the hire is in a supervisory role, also ensure that he or she meets with any direct reports one-on-one and as a group within the first week. These meetings will help build the new team and allow the new hire to get a sense of the work style of each team member.
It is also important for the new hire to interact with other staff members who may not be on his or her immediate team. Schedule at least one meeting per day with different staff members. This gives the new hire time to learn about the whole organization from many different perspectives and to create new relationships with key staff members.
In addition to interacting with internal staff, if it is appropriate for their role, ensure that the new hire is scheduled to meet in person with any necessary partners, funders, Board members or other constituents within the first month. Encourage new hires to notify their personal and professional contacts of their new role, thereby providing a marketing opportunity for your organization.
The First Three Months and Beyond
The output expectation for the first week should be nominal so that the time can be most effectively used for learning and settling in. During the first month, it is traditional to expect modest deliverables in which the new hire can learn by doing and be positioned for success and confidence building. By the end of the first three months, the new employee should be getting up to speed and should be expected to be evaluated on a normal workload.
After 90 days, have the supervisor provide formal feedback on the new hire's performance, while also soliciting feedback from the employee. Depending on the organizational culture and policies, this meeting could involve a representative of the human resources department. During this meeting, any issues should be addressed and all parties should be confident that the new hire is poised for success in their role.
Remember to build opportunities for feedback into the on-boarding process. Encourage the new hire to note any ideas that they have for improving the operations, strategy, or culture of the organization. The new hire may or may not feel comfortable sharing these immediately, but it is important that the organization be open to the impressions of someone with fresh eyes.
Throughout the first three months, stay mindful of opportunities to integrate new hires into their work groups and into the organization as a whole.
Although all of these steps require an investment of time and resources, it is an investment whose cost / benefit analysis is clear. The potential downsides of failing to effectively on-board an employee include that individual's failure in the role, potential embarrassment to the organization, resignation or termination, and a new hiring process with an estimated total expense to the organization of three times the position's annual salary. On the positive side, implementing these suggestions will increase employee satisfaction, speed of getting to full performance levels, quality of ultimate performance, and long-term retention in the role. Effective on-boarding is also a fantastic way to show all of your employees that you value their happiness and want them to succeed.

Shauna James Ahern's Grilled Pizza
Get the Recipes
If I ever had to give up eating gluten, the first thing I would miss would be pizza. I'm sure I'm not alone in this worry. Good pizza can be made without meat or even dairy, but without gluten-y wheat flour? Of this I'm not so sure. There are honest attempts at good versions—and Shauna James Ahern's is certainly one of those. Her pizza recipe in Gluten-Free Girl Every Day is cooked on the grill, which is a smart idea for any type of pizza, glutenous or otherwise. The dough is made from a mixture of millet, sweet rice flour, potato starch, psyllium, oil, egg, and yeast. Once mixed and risen, it looks more like cookie batter than pizza dough, but it rolls out easily (much like corn tortillas, actually) and bakes into a half crackery, half bready crust. In other words, it totally works. If you're looking for a gluten-free pizza to try, start here.
Why I picked this recipe: Gluten-free pizza? Could it be good?
What worked: The dough was surprisingly successful. It didn't taste like wheat-based pizza dough, but it was still tasty in its own right. Later experiments using the dough to make a gluten-free naan worked even better.
What didn't: In the notes, Ahern suggests baking the dough as two 12-inch pizzas in the oven as an alternative to the grill. I found that this method gave me a thicker, breadier pizza than I wanted. It worked much better when I used less dough, rolled it more thinly, and gave it a five minute topping-less stint in the oven before adding sauce and cheese.
Suggested tweaks: You can use this dough in place of other enriched flatbread doughs in recipes for naan or pita breads.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Gluten-Free Girl Every Day to give away this week.

Microbes are everywhere.
"Just stand and breathe, and you're releasing microbes," Roman said. "You
can wash and scrub and use antiseptic soap, and you'll still have
microbes on your skin. You have them everywhere: in your clothes,
on your skin, in your hair, in your body -- everywhere you could
think of..
Many people may find the thought of microbes living on and in their bodies
disturbing, but living with an entourage of stow-away microbes is natural.
"Generally speaking, microbes are invisible, and so people just don't think
of them as much as you do some other things," said Dr. Duane Pierson,
director of microbiology at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
"People need to be reminded that we live in a microbial world," Pierson said.
"They were here before us and they'll probably be here afterwards.
We co-exist with them very well..."
In fact, bacteria in people's intestines help to digest food, providing
some otherwise unattainable nutrients, such as vitamin K. A person's
resident microbes also actually protect them from infection by
competing with dangerous microbes looking for a place to grow.
While it is natural for a person to live with a host of resident microbes,
seven people -- each with their own set of microbes -- living
in a small, air-tight can for months or years is certainly not.
"When the crew goes up to the station, they'll each have their own microbial
flora, and when they return back, for the most part they've exchanged
that flora with each other," Roman said. Most of these exchanged
microbes are fought off by the crew's immune systems and their
own resident microbes, Pierson noted, but the potential for infection
is there.
The first step in protecting the health of the crew
is testing each crewmate for infection before launch. Only healthy
crew members are allowed to fly into space, and they're quarantined
before launch to prevent them from contracting harmful germs at
the last moment.

Picture a snail that's so tiny, it could disappear behind a kernel of corn.
Such small creatures can easily be overlooked-- but if you value having access to fresh, clean drinking water, then you should pay attention to this one.
Behold, the springsnail:
Springsnails belong to a group of invertebrates that grow to be less than 1/4 inch high, and are one of the most diverse types of aquatic animals native to North America. Scientists believe that these snails play an important role in freshwater ecosystems, keeping them clean by eating algae and serving as food for fish and other critters. More than 130 different kinds of springsnails live west of the Mississippi River alone, thriving in and around the same freshwater springs that humans depend on for drinking water, livestock grazing and recreation.
Over the past few decades, groundwater pumping and depletion in the western United States has greatly accelerated due to an increase in human demand and global climate change. The result: a large number of dried springs scattered throughout the West, water shortages for people living in these areas and major declines in springsnail populations. Scientists now consider the springsnail to be the poster child for imperiled ecosystems that are reliant on freshwater springs.
How does the fate of this snail affect you? To put it simply, save the springsnail and your groundwater is also saved.
The Smithsonian is playing a leading role in the fight to conserve the springsnail. A new study published online in Bioscience (July 16) by National Museum of Natural History scientist Robert Hershler reports that springsnails have become the focus of new conservation activities over the past few decades during which various species have started to disappear.
Most springsnail species have narrow ranges, often consisting of a single spring or system. If the spring dries up or becomes polluted from activities such as cattle grazing, these snails cannot survive. Invasive species in freshwater areas are also taking a toll on springsnail populations. At least five springsnail species have gone extinct since the early 1900s and 80% of living species are listed as endangered by the American Fisheries Society.
The good news is that during the past 25 years, considerable strides have been made in providing protection for springsnails and the fresh groundwater sources they call home. Scientists are beginning to understand how springsnail populations have changed over time, both from human activities, and, on longer time scales, from climate change. Museum collections provide important baselines for these studies-- the Smithsonian stewards over a million springsnail specimens that represent more than 100 different species collected since the 1980s.
While Hershler's research is an important step towards better understanding these small snails, more foundational work needs to be done. His paper calls for additional research on the biology of the springsnail and links to a driving force behind conservation efforts in the western United States today—the need for fresh groundwater shared by humans and snails alike.

I had lunch a few weeks ago with a friend at LottaFruitta on Auburn Avenue. "Is this anywhere near the Sweet Auburn Curb Market?" she asked. I'd heard of the place, but, like many in-towners, I had no idea where to actually find it. So when Hubby and I were invited to tag along with the Atlanta Culinary Tour of the curb market, I was excited to finally go and see what it was all about. There, we found that the people and food are down-to-earth with some surprises.
First, the location: just west of the downtown connector at the corner of Edgewood Avenue and Jesse Hill Jr. Drive. Auburn Avenue is a block north of Edgewood, and the district is designated as "Sweet Auburn" because it was a prosperous business area for the city's African-American population in the mid-twentieth century. The "curb market" is so named because segregation at the time meant that the blacks shopped outside, while the whites did so inside out of the elements. In relation to downtown, it's approximately here:
Now everyone can shop there, and Hubby and I did some produce hunting before the tour started. We went to Natural Produce, which, in addition to locally grown fruits and veggies, carries pre-washed , shredded, cut up, diced, chopped, and otherwise deconstructed produce. However, as we found out, eat or cook the washed and cut up veggies quickly or re-pack them in produce bags with paper towels to absorb the moisture because otherwise, they won't last past a few days, even in the fridge.
As I mentioned, the food is "down-to-earth." Atlanta Culinary Tour leader David Jones (not the pirate or Monkee) had us sample some "white dirt," which is sold in some of the produce shops. It pretty much tastes like, well, dirt.
Our first real food stop was Ciao Boca. Owner Debora Kudelka treated us to samples of a meatball sandwich and one with arugula and pancetta, both of which were really yummy. She made sure to let us know that she has vegetarian-friendly soups and grilled cheese paninis for our non meat-eating friends.
After a stop to talk about the proper way to cook pig's ears at Country Meats, we stopped at Metro Deli Soul Food. Each of us got a little plate with something different. I had a rib, black-eyed peas, and collards. Hubby had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and collards. Oh, and cornbread! They also gave us samples of either peach or sweet potato cobbler for dessert. The next time I want soul food, I know where I'm going, although I don't think I'm brave enough to try pig's ears yet.
We'd also talked about oxtail, as the curb market was known for its variety of meat shops, and the lower level was once an abattoir, where animals were slaughtered for sale. We got to sample some at Afrodish, and even non-adventurous meat eaters would be hard-pressed to resist the seasoning.
Our other non-dessert stop included Tilapia Express, where owner Farrah's daughter peered over the counter as he served us a deep-fried trio of catfish, tilapia, and whiting. Then it was on to the sweet stuff!
Sweet Auburn Bakery has the following case of temptation:
I didn't think it was possible, but I found room for a little sweet potato cheesecake there:
Then we got to meet Miss D and sample her New Orleans Pralines, which did, as promised, melt in my mouth.
Finally, we ended up at Café Campesino, where we had coffee to combat the food comas that threatened to set in at any moment. Oh, and the scones were good, too. Hubby and I knew them from the Saturday Decatur Farmer's Market, but it's nice to know where to find them during the week.
My only complaint about the tour is something that liability and legal reasons would prevent, which would be beer or wine to go with all the great food. Hubby and I made up for that afterward. We also had dinner reservations at Sound Table, which we ended up moving to 10:00 because we knew we wouldn't be hungry until then. Overall, it was a fun afternoon, and we enjoyed getting to know some of Atlanta's food, history, and the intrepid restaurant and shop owners that are making up our local food scene.
Musings on wine, food, recipes, restaurants, and other topics that I, as a dedicated, although not professional, oenophile find interesting. Look for food/wine-related updates 1-4 times/month. Feel free to follow me on Twitter and like my Facebook page.

Fossil Find Sheds Light on 'Early Evolutionary Steps'
This is a title of a report.
What this sensence would be if it was a normal sentence?
No, you can't say "Fossil Find Sheds Light on 'Early Evolutionary'.
(The)(This) fossil find sheds light on (the)(man's) early evolutionary steps.
What would this sentence be if it were a normal sentence?
I had a grammar mistake in the question. I'm dissapointed.
Anyway, the report really exists, which was not written by me.
I didn't think this is a grammatical sentence(?), so I wondered about its meaning.
I should have called it a headline?
Find's position means it is used as an adjective, which would be in past participle form. I see.
Thank you very much!

I meant the word 'step' is not a good term to use when you talk about evolution. Evolution is a very gradual process over a long period of time. It is not a step-by-step process. Of course you can't take away 'steps' and leave the two words dangling.

June 2009 Vendor of the Month - Mec4D
June 1, 2009 10:23 am
Who is Mec4D?
My name is Catharina Harders, I am a graduate of Visual Arts and a recording artist.
I have been involved with the Poser Community for the past 11 years.
Mec4D is a graphic design & digital recording label located in the Netherlands and US founded and owned by me for the last 10 years.
How long have you have you been involved in digital
I have been creating digital art for almost 11 years, this is my first passion
What are you currently working on?
I am currently working on 2 new characters for M4 "Buddy "and V4 ""Sylvana"
What software do you use and why?
My first software is Deep Paint 3D that I have used for almost 10 years it allows me to create my textures in a very quick way especially for difficult UV mapping that the models have today. Second is Poser Pro, but also Photoshop and Painter 11 is all I need for my texture creation.
Where do you find inspiration for your
I find my inspiration everyday around me but also by other Renderosity artists and the fans of my work. They always keep me going; give me unique power, positive energy, supporting me on all my projects
I am very thankful for that.
Do you have any advice for aspiring Digital Content
I think everyone around can create beautiful and unique art, we grow with our work every day making it better and better, I have advice for the young texture artist, I see sometimes wonderful products with a lot of wonderful stuff inside, but without the "'soul" I call this the digital finger print. The main things that bother me a little bit are the wrong scale of the skin texture, the reason they look like that is that they were created only in Photoshop and that, today, is not enough. The main figures as V4 and M4 have very difficult UV mapping that is out of scale, Photoshop never can fix it no matter how detailed the textures are, you should go out and try to use the programs that was created for it (DP3D or Body painter etc.}This would make your work much more realistic and quicker.
How has this online Community (Renderosity) enhanced
your work, relationships, and learning?
Renderosity I can call my home, I am member of almost all Poser Online communities but I feel mostly wonderful here with all my old friends around that give me inspirations everyday and also the new young artist that come with new ideas and visions. I learned a lot of stuff from others in the past 10 years here at Renderosity, everyone has always been helpful and nice.
Do you have any final words?
First of all I want to thank you so much for your support, to all my friends and fans of my work at Renderosity. Without you it would never happen, I was surprised this morning with this news, this give me even more inspirations and positive energy. Thank you again to everyone and I would like to make a list with the names but it would take forever so thank you again, you guys are the best!!!
Always at your service ! Cath

Hey Cath ... congrats :) I've been a fan of yours since the beginning and have always thought you are one of the best texture artists in the Poserverse, plus a truly great woman. You have gone through some times, and I truly admire you for digging back in and sticking around as you have done. As one of the originals, I'm happy the the new folks have the opportunity to see your creations. Good luck to you. Dave.

Best Dressed Female – Readers Poll
The red carpet at country music awards shows is nothing short of a fashion show. While a few stars consistently take chances with outfits that fans agree are too short, too colorful or too… weird, five country females can always be counted on to exhibit class and beauty. Which of the following female artists would you call the 'best dressed' woman in country music?
Reba McEntire is country music's Jackie O, while relative newcomers like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift always find the perfect style to push trends forward without ending up on Worst Dressed lists. Martina McBride is another who always looks comfortable yet sophisticated, and Miranda Lambert manages to bring a small amount of her signature attitude to whatever elegant gown she's chosen. Vote for one of these five ladies, or write in your own candidate in the comments section below.

1969 All with 302 or 350 - P/N 6470008 stamped 40669. The one Marty shows is correct, but HERE'S the direct link to the auction. That one happens to be a repop, but you can also buy rebuilt from just about all the vendors. It's unknown what the two digit code in front of the 40669 is, but I've seen HH, 4K (like the one on ebay), FI, UH, etc... Perhaps a date code? John might know.Ed
That 2-digit code appears to be an AC date coding; David Liukkonen on the NCRS Tech Board is working on the complete decode matrix, and will publish it when he has more data.

The Domino Starry Night
Nothing says determination more than a man who want to recreate Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night from 7,000 dominos. Nothing more than a second attempt that takes about 11 hours total to build. Domino artist, Flippycat, who has done a similar effect to the Mona Lisa, created his very own Vincent van Dominogh, knocking dominoes over to create the famed painting, Starry Night. Amazing, a tad for the sake of it, and amazing all over again. (from juxtapoz.com)

EAST STROUDSBURG — Junior guard Andrea Veres scored 19 points to lead a barrage of 11 3-pointers by East Stroudsburg University, and sophomore forward Jessica Martin had 14 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and four steals for her fifth career double-double as the Warriors ran past Caldwell for a 70-55 win on the first night of the 48th Annual Pocono Classic at Koehler Fieldhouse.
EAST STROUDSBURG — Junior guard Andrea Veres scored 19 points to lead a barrage of 11 3-pointers by East Stroudsburg University, and sophomore forward Jessica Martin had 14 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and four steals for her fifth career double-double as the Warriors ran past Caldwell for a 70-55 win on the first night of the 48th Annual Pocono Classic at Koehler Fieldhouse.
Martin and Veres, who were both on last year's All-Tournament team with Martin earning MVP honors, will lead the Warriors against Concordia (N.Y.) at 3 p.m. today. Concordia fell to Virginia Union, 52-44, in Saturday's first game.
ESU (1-1) put together an outstanding shooting effort in its first action in 10 days. The Warriors made double-figure 3-pointers for the first time since February 2011, going 11-for-17 from long distance led by Veres' 5-for-6 performance.
Veres scored 16 of her 19 points in the first half as the Warriors opened a 41-35 halftime lead, and ESU used a 15-3 run midway through the second half to put the game away.
Senior forward Fayola Moise had 12 points, five rebounds and five assists and sophomore guard Ryann Fiascki scored 10 points and tied her career-high with seven rebounds. Redshirt sophomore guard Steph Cabald added seven points and five assists as the Warriors got 62 of their 70 points from their starters and had 19 assists on 28 field goals.
ESU turned the ball over just five times in each half and shot 51.5 percent (17-for-33) in the opening period. They shot just 34.4 percent (11-for-32) in the second half, but went 6-for-9 from behind the arc to sprint past Caldwell by a 29-20 margin after intermission.
Martin, last year's PSAC East Freshman of the Year, had five blocks in a game for the seventh time in 28 career games. She set the PSAC freshman record with 76 blocks and ranked ninth in Division II with 2.9 blocks per game last season.
Veres went over the 500-point mark for her career in the first half, finishing the second game of her junior year with 506 points. Her five 3-pointers were a career-high.
Senior guard Barb Borst went 2-for-2 from long distance off the bench, giving her 100 career 3-pointers. She is the fifth player in school history to hit the mark and is five behind DeAnna Rayam (2006-10), who is in her first season as an assistant coach for the Warriors.
Jeanette Anderson had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Torey Jones added 11 points, three assists and three steals for Caldwell (1-5). The Cougars shot just 6-for-34 (17.6 percent) in the second half to settle at 30.0 percent for the game. They were 12-for-26 (46.2 percent) to stay at arms' length in the first half.
Caldwell led 25-19 with just over eight minutes left in the first half before Veres led an 11-2 run, hitting three of her five 3-pointers in a span of 2:45 to put the Warriors in front 30-27. She added her fourth 3 of the half with 1:12 remaining and hit a layup to close the half with 16 points as ESU led 41-35.
The Warriors held a 47-43 lead six minutes into the second half before going on their decisive run. Borst started it with the first of her two 3-pointers, Fiascki hit from long distance, Borst struck again and Fiascki set up a layup by Moise to make it 58-46 with 10:41 remaining.
The run reached 15-3 as Moise and Martin both scored in the next three minutes to push the margin to 65-48, and the ESU defense held Caldwell to 1-for-12 shooting with two turnovers until Jessica Coscia (five points) ended the run with a jumper with 6:41 left.

Fresh off comeback win, Oilers challenge BluesNHL.com @NHLdotcom
OILERS (23-35-8) at BLUES (44-14-7)
Last 10: Edmonton 5-3-2; St. Louis 7-2-1
Season series: The St. Louis Blues are going for the season sweep of the Edmonton Oilers, having won two previous games, 6-0 and 5-2, in Edmonton.
Big story: In a matchup featuring a team with the most points in the NHL (St. Louis, 95) and a team with the fewest points in the Western Conference (Edmonton, 54), one team is heading toward the Stanley Cup Playoffs while the other will have a top draft pick. But each team is playing well: The Oilers have points in seven of 10 games; the Blues have won seven of 10.
Team Scope:
Oilers: Goaltender Viktor Fasth made his Edmonton debut Tuesday and settled down after allowing three first-period goals. He made 28 saves when the Oilers beat the Minnesota Wild, 4-3 in a shootout.
"I [gave up] three goals early in the game and it couldn't get worse than that," Fasth said. "Just have to battle your way through and fight your way into the game."
Edmonton has been making a habit of trailing early and coming back in the third period recently. The Oilers trailed 2-0 Thursday in a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Islanders and get a chance to play spoiler again against the Blues.
"It would have been real easy to pack it in and call it a night and get on to the next game, but our guys refused to do it," coach Dallas Eakins said Tuesday.
Blues: Goaltender Ryan Miller had been perfect in four games with St. Louis prior to a 3-2 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars on Tuesday.
"We're looking to play good hockey and make sure we are trending in the right direction coming into the playoffs and [Tuesday] wasn't a great step in that direction," captain David Backes said. "Back to putting in the work. We get another chance at it Thursday and hopefully a good two points as we look to get back on track."
Miller made 27 saves, allowing three goals; it was the first time in nine games St. Louis allowed at least three goals.
"This will be a good opportunity for this team to bounce back after a really nice stretch of five games," Miller said. "We were in the game [Tuesday] -- it could have gone either way -- now we have to really fight to get that feeling back."
Who's hot: Oilers forward Jordan Eberle has five points in five games. Forward Taylor Hall has five points over his past four games. … Blues wing Vladimir Tarasenko has an assist in three straight games. Miller has allowed nine goals in five games, and is 4-0-1 with St. Louis.
Injury report: Oilers defenseman Anton Belov (oblique) is on injured reserve. … The Blues are set to get forward Vladimir Sobotka (leg) back. Defenseman Jordan Leopold (ankle) remains on IR.

Have you ever had one of those days at the beach where you were too underpowered with your biggest kite to stay up wind with the waves? Did you know that boards on land can cut harder upwind and need less force? Have you ever thought that it would be amazing to have some way to ride back up the beach instead of walking?
Have you ever thought what the sensation would be like to be cruising through the sand on your way to the water and to effortlessly pulling a button than would transform your traction board into a completely regular kiteboard while sailing onto the water? All while not effecting the hydrodynamics or dragging down the performance of your board at all? And then effortlessly converting back into a traction board when your coming back to land!? And doing this as much as you want until your legs or the wind gets tired!!???
Well do not ponder anymore!
If you want the answers to how this works fund the development of the project by directly buying one of the first models or more. Elegance, quality, and reliability and comes standard.
Be the one to buy the first deluxe model with an onboard processor for performance catologing and even a paddle back to you and power water assist for when you lose your board upwind and can't body drag back to it or there's not enough wind to keep your kite aloft and you have to do a self rescue.
Don't be alone anymore.
Buy a product that makes you do more and does not settle for anything less than improving your already amazing session.

MoreSplashHits gives up: Bochy has officially lost his marbles
In the course of writing this blog, MoreSplashHits often reads other Giants fan blogs, comment threads and Twitter feeds. And we're often amazed at the rabid comments by some die-hard fans over even the most mundane decisions the team makes.
And that's why MoreSplashHits likes to think of ourselves as the thinking fans' blog, more prone to analysis than outrage, the voice of reason and calm. We like to find the logic in any decision the team makes even when we don't agree with it.
But the news that came out of Giants camp Thursday even boggles our mind.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced the Giants will break camp with 12 pitchers, even though Ryan Vogelsong will open the season on the DL because the Giants won't need a fifth starter until April 15.
It had been thought that the Giants would open with 11 pitchers, four starters and seven relievers. That would allow them to keep six players on the bench, offering a brief respite from some tough roster decisions.
But Bochy said with the Giants opening the season in the hitter-friendly parks in Arizona and Colorado, he would feel more comfortable to open the season with 12 pitchers so they would not run the risk of taxing the pitching staff so early in the season.
By that logic, if Vogelsong had been healthy to open the season, the Giants would have carried 13 pitchers, leaving only four bench players.
Idiotic, right? So how does the fact that the Giants only need four starters to open the season change how much the bullpen gets taxed in the opening week of the season?
But here are some facts that undermine Bochy's logic (or lack thereof) concerning the worries of opening up in Arizona and Colorado.
In nine home games against the Giants last season, the Diamondbacks scored 44 runs or an average of 4.9 runs a game. A high number.
But take away one game — in late September — in which Arizona scored 15 runs against the Giants, then you're looking at 29 runs in eight game, or a 3.6 average.
With the Giants opening with their three top pitchers in Arizona — Tim Lincecum, Madison Bumgarner and Matt Cain — there's no reason to expect the bullpen to get taxed in Arizona.
Colorado is a different deal. We all know about Coors Field and its reputation as a hitter's park.
But the park plays differently in April than it does in say July. It is much friendlier to pitchers in April.
Last season, the Rockies averaged 5.4 runs a game at home. In April, they averaged 4.6.
Bochy's thinking might be more reasonable if any of the Giants' starters had experienced some health issues this spring that might have stunted their preparation for the season.
But that hasn't been the case. Cain threw seven innings Thursday against the Rangers. Bumgarner did the same in a minor league game on Wednesday. So there's no reason not to expect Lincecum, Cain and MadBum to pitch six, seven or even eight innings in the opening week of the season.
Barry Zito is another story. The Giants would be happy to get five or six innings from Zito in any of his starts, whether they happen in April or August.
But Zito's first start is scheduled for Monday, April 9 in Colorado. Even if the bullpen gets overworked in that game, April 10 is a scheduled off day, so the entire staff would get a day to rest.
So wouldn't it make more sense of the Giants to use the roster flexibility created by Vogelsong opening the season on the DL to create more depth on its bench?
Bochy should be less concerned about possibly taxing his bullpen (a strength of the team) and more concerned with taxing Buster Posey in the first week of the season.
Opening with a six-player bench would allow the Giants to keep three catchers on the roster to open the season.
It would also allow the Giants time to see how Hector Sanchez's outstanding spring translates into the regular season.
The same could be said for Brandon Belt, who has been rumored to be ticketed to start the season in Triple-A despite tearing up the Cactus League.
If that happens, that's a blog post regarding Bochy's lost marbles for another day.
