Some quick handbag tips
1 -
Always carry a purse or handbag which is in proportion to your body size. Example: Very petite carry a small handbag not a large over powering handbag.
2 -
If you do not have a handbag to match your shoes, carry a black handbag; this is basic, though some fashion designers disagree that belts and shoes have to match so it doesn't really matter just as long as the ensemble looks good.
3 -
If you are a stickler on being organized, acquire handbags that have pockets, compartments and/or purses that have built in sections that will hold sunglasses, cell phones, keys, change, and etc.
4 -
Clutch bags are fashionable, however, they can jeopardise your safety. You could be an easy target for a purse snatch or it can be easily lost.
5 -
Always keep your handbag with you and hold close to your body. Purses have been stolen from grocery carts, snatched from behind or even straps have been cut from the shoulder.
Authentic Designer Handbags - The Psychology of the Status Handbag
In fashion, it's the little things that mean a lot, says Farid Chenoune, who put together a book entitled "Carried Away - All About Bags" and an exhibit at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. "If you take a little object like this one (a handbag), you'll put together a lot of stories of what life is, what power is, religiosity, what men's and women's relationships are - and it's all fashion, too."
The importance of the purse extends beyond what we consider traditional authentic designer handbags, according to Chenoune. Purses are a part of our psyche and include bags holding knuckle bones depicted in Egyptian wall paintings dating from 430 B.C. The list also includes wizard's bags holding ingredients of power, doctor's bags, and religious bags. The similarity between a high end authentic designer bag and a satchel belonging to an African witch, he explains, is that both bags hold a secret and can represent power.
"What you put in your bag is very important to you. That makes a bag very personal, because in it you have a secret. A secret gives you some sort of power. Traditionally, for a woman, a bag holds the things you need for the day, but it's also your little beauty factory, which is very important to the identity of the woman" Chenoune says.
Of course, authentic designer handbags have been taken to new heights in the designer era, with top fashion companies adorning bags with logos and other signs of luxury, such as skins and fur. A recent auction at Doyle New York featured a black crocodile Hermès Birkin, customized with a clasp and lock featuring 14 carats of pave diamonds, that sold for $64,800. Whereas the inside of one's bag is supposed to be personal and intimate, the outside is a virtual advertisement of one's place in the world, Chenoune observes. This became emphasized at the end of the 18th century, when women shifted to the neoclassical style of dress, he explains. "The 'outside pocket' became the modern bag, and by 1920, it became a symbol of women's independence. It said she could go where she wanted to go, and didn't need a man because he held all the possessions," Chenoune said.
Designer handbags run the gamut from the delicately beautiful Judith Leibner bag To the elegantly simple Fendi, but, regardless of it's size and shape, it's a little piece of luxury that is within reach of most women and shouts to the world that this woman knows quality!

Corps of Engineers to reopen campgrounds, boat ramps
Facilities were closed since Oct. 1
On Thursday the Army Corps of Engineers is reopening Corps-operated campgrounds, day-use areas and boat launch ramps that are regularly open this time of year.
Michael Hurley, Chief Park Ranger, was opening the gates Thursday morning at campgrounds on Beaver Lake. "This is a big day for us he said...being furloughed brought a little bit of anxiety with that so it's good as a federal employee to get back."
"Our ranger staff hit the ground running this morning opening facilities," said Little Rock District Commander Col. Courtney W. Paul. "Most parks will open today, and with only a few exceptions, all normally open parks will be open Friday morning at 9 a.m.
He went on, we will continue to keep parks open as previously planned for their normally scheduled season."
Visitors can log online to www.recreation.gov to see if a facility is open.
Recreational sites closed Oct. 1 because of the government shutdown.
Visitors whose reservations were cancelled during the shutdown will receive a full refund. To request a refund, please call customer service at 1-888-448-1474.

Book – City of Thieves is, in the author's own words, a semi-biographical look at the Siege of Leningrad during the Second World War. A thief and a deserter are arrested and given an impossible choice, find a dozen eggs in a city cut off from all outside supply lines or be executed. While this is a rather weak quest, Lev and Kolya bring the city and the war to life for readers.
While most 'modern' authors tend to write accents out phonetically so that you know they are speaking a different language, David Benioff restructured the sentences to give them a wonderful Russian cadence. Admittedly I don't have much experience with the Russian language, but it flowed as if I was listening to Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof speak.
For those who enjoyed Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, City of Thieves is a humanizing account of World War II that reminds you of the entire story, not just what you were taught in school.

Collette wrote of France's Jurançon: when I was a young girl, I was introduced to a passionate Prince, domineering and two-timing like all great seducers…
My lifelong affair has been with Domaine Tempier's Bandol rouge, which began in the early 1980s, when I was first introduced to the French imports of Kermit Lynch. In the beginning, I did not understand the compulsion: it was a red wine that always seem to have a spirit – whether it was in the mysterious, earthy, scrubby, leathery notes that often seem to engulf the aromas of berry liqueurs in the nose, or the slightly sparkly, lively, lilting quality in the texture of the wine itself, almost belying a meatiness of tannin and dried grape skin flavor.
Whatever the case, it was like my first love, which happened to be a girl from a Hawaiian plantation – a black maned mestiza, first sighted bouncing up onto the back of a truck, work gloves belted at the waist, jeans snug around the thighs and tucked into dusty leather, steel tip work boots, and (like me) 15 years old going on whatevah. I was tongue tied and discombobulated for weeks; and even long after, incapable of understanding exactly why ordinary conversation seemed as strenuous as swimming in mud.
But conversation with the maddening mestiza did continue for some time, thank you; but with Bandol, the conversation has been going for much longer. It is, after all is said and done, a wine that never seems light or heavy, lean nor fat, zesty but never sharp, delicious with a stew of meat, and delicious with a stew of fish. In short, the perfect lifelong companion.
Many years later, reading the chapter devoted to Domaine Tempier in Kermit Lynch's classic book, Adventures on the Wine Route, I came to understand why this wine, of all wines, retains its eternal, dusty leathered youth: particularly the fact that it comes from a magnificent vineyard in Provence's Le Plan de Castellet, close enough to the Mediterranean where the air is pungent with the smell of the ocean mixed with scrubby herbs of the chalky hillsides. How François Peyraud plowed and hoed the field by hand rather resort to herbicides, and fought mildew by spraying the vines (mostly Mourvèdre, with some grapes of the Grenache) only with natural sulfur from the soil of a nearby region so that the terroir could remain pristine and protected from artificial intrusion.
And how Jean-Marie Peyraud, following his father Lucien's lead, aged the Bandol strictly in large, well used casks (rather than new, small oak barrels) so that the wine tasted of grapes and earth rather than freshly hewn trees, and bottled with absolutely no sulfites so that years after, when drinking Domaine Tempier Bandol, you would still feel like you were drinking directly from the cask, when the wine still tastes like it is just squeezed from the grapes.
Indeed, Domaine Tempier's Bandol is a wine that really doesn't age. That is to say, it will retain its deep color and fragrance – in fact, deepen in color and fragrance – even as the years fly by. I kid you not, as this very fact was driven home to me one night (oh, about eleven years ago) when Kermit himself served me a muscular 20 year old Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape, followed by a regally scented 20 year old Chave Hermitage, followed by a 20 year old Domaine Tempier… all double-blind (the identities of the wines hidden from me in decanters), and densest, darkest, most fragrant wine of the three was still, after all that time, the Bandol!
But I wasn't surprised, because I'd already been entangled with Bandol for some time. Now are you getting interested?
Okay, then you must first find yourself a bottle of the 2006 Domaine Tempier Bandol Classique (about $40); which, although is an entry level Bandol (Tempier produces several single vineyard Bandols with even more pent-up energy and power), has all the Bandolishness you need: a nose of sweet berries (sometimes I think cassis, other times framboise) floating over the glass with wispy, invisible clouds of earth (freshly composted humus… perfume to a gardener) and gunflint mixed with a subtle ocean salinity; and on the palate, juicy, rich, medium to full flavors, tugging at the senses like that old, familiar, perfectly agreeable pain (ah, that girl from the fields).
Island Style Smoked Pulled Pork
When Kermit and I tasted that 20 year old Bandol, he and his wife Gail Skoff served up squab and a casserole of scalloped potatoes layered with truffles. Of course, the match was perfect in every way, but not exactly your normal Friday night meal. In lieu of that, I prescribe slow smoked birds, like duck or Cornish game hen. But from many years of experience, I also know that Bandol's salt and flint nuanced berry qualities are absolutely delicious with Island style smoked pulled pork (what we call kalua pig), which differs from Southern style pulled pork in that it's not mixed in or served with a vinegary, sweet-spicy barbecue sauce (Bandol doesn't have the pointedly sweet, berry jam flavors like, say, California Zinfandel to handle American barbecue sauces).
No, for Bandol all you need is a fork tender, steamy pile of smoked pork dolled up with nothing more than rock salt. The ancient Hawaiians traditionally dug a 6 x 4 x 3 foot hole in the ground to make their kalua – the whole pig cooked over blazing hot rocks, covered with banana leaves and burlap, and then buried in the ground to steam a good 24 hours. I'm not suggesting you find your fatted pig, dig up the backyard or drive down to Louisiana for your banana leaves. After many years of living off-island, I've devised my own total "lazy man's" way of cooking Hawaiian style pulled pork, requiring nothing more than time:
5-8 lb. pork butt
¼ cup sea salt (Hawaiian if you can find it; kosher in a pinch)
2 oz. liquid smoke (or ½ bottle of Wright's Liquid Hickory Smoke)
Pre-heat oven to 350° F. Score pork and place in a big enough Dutch oven. Combine salt and liquid smoke and rub all over pork. Pour water half-way up side of pork; cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and roast in oven, at least 1 hour per pound. The entire house will smell like a smoker, but that's okay… just open a window and pop a well chilled bottle of Bandol rosé (some say, the finest dry pink wine in the world). Remove pork from water, place in large bowl and shred with tongs or strong forks. Mix in additional rock salt to taste. Serve with steamed white rice, collard greens or spinach, fresh sliced tomatoes, the Bandol rouge, and you're in business!

Now, 20 years later, we have cops on 4-wheelers, undercover cops, cops with night vision goggles, cops giving tickets, cops arresting those that rejected the norm to flee from their authority.
I firmly believe that BM exists as it does to give us an escape from society's stranglehold. It is a week to run into the ass end of the desert and party with maniacs. To no longer be bound by proper protocol or legacy beliefs, to dress crazily or not at all, to express ourselves however we see fit.
Your presence is contrary to the entire spirit of Burning Man. Leave me the fuck alone and I will do the same.So, Mr. Enforcer:
When your rules tighten a grip around us it makes me angry. Why are you here? "For our protection?" But stopping disputes is the rangers' job, isn't it? We are amazingly peaceful for as large as we are… you will find more violence at your average sporting event.
When we want to go burn shit in the middle of the desert, where you would never even tread if not for us, leave us alone. If I want to do every drug known to man, piss off. If I want to run around naked slapping everything with my cock, none of your god damned business (lest you be the recipient).
The reason I see you here, Mr. Enforcer, is that you cannot fucking stand the fact that we do whatever we want in the pursuit of happiness regardless of the rules. We don't need them. You came to remind us. You came to make a quick buck. You came to make us obey.
This is an example of the rest of the Nation trying to publicly show that they are tough. That they are enforcers. That they love American pie, segregation, and Jesus… right wing warriors won't allow these hippies to spit on the law…
Everyone loves to talk about how free this country is, how wonderful is our democracy… well if that were true you would be voted the hell out of BRC. It is not our will to have to hide and scrape and crawl to do what we want, to escape your laws in this lawless place. You were sent by others that don't understand us.
It's anarchy, and I want it that way. You see, Mr. Enforcer… I can walk down the street in this lawless place and always feel comfortable. I can give strangers gifts. I can dance and sing loudly anywhere I want…. And the fact that this is what our anarchy is proves to me that we have won, no matter how tightly you squeeze.
What do you think?

Increased use of abandoned baby boxes concerns UN officials
(CBS News) Concerns raised over "baby boxes" by a U.N. committee dedicated to protecting the rights of children have sparked a debate over whether or not abandoning children in a safe environment should still be tolerated.
The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child spoke out against baby boxes, warmed incubators where people can place unwanted infants anonymously without fear of prosecution. Baby boxes are often connected to hospitals or public places, and an alarm goes off when a child is placed inside them so staff can come immediately to prevent a tragic outcome.
"The baby box is not protecting children, and the action is not in their best interest," Dr. Maria Herczog, a sociologist and member of the U.N. Children's Rights Committee, told United Nations Radio.
The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child claim that there are 99 of these boxes in Germany and 45 of them in Poland, with declining numbers in other countries throughout the world. They are also known to exist in Austria, Japan and the U.S., but the exact number of them has yet to be determined, the committe said.
Similarly in the United States, safe haven laws prevent parents or relatives from legal prosecution if they leave their child in a designated area, normally a hospital or a fire or police station. The laws have saved over 1,000 children, National Safe Haven Alliance told CBS News. However, in 2008, Nebraska's failure to define the word "child" led to minors up to the age of 17 being dropped off to be wards of the state. One father , who left nine of his children ranging in age from 1 to 17, claimed to KETV that his wife's death left him too emotionally distraught and financially drained to take care of them. In the seven months after the Nebraska law was passed, 34 children had been abandoned, according to TIME. Nebraska changed the law later to clarify that it only applied to children under 30 days old.
Herczog explained that not only do the boxes take away the child's rights, they have the potential to encourage women to give birth in risky areas instead of coming directly to a hospital. The boxes also offer legal ambiguity in the sense that in some countries, it is perfectly legal to abandon a child anonymously in a box, but leaving them anywhere else may incur legal penalties.
"This is a very, very scary situation because this means we are not really protecting the baby and the woman," she explained. "We are telling them to abandon their children and this is not the way it should happen."
Psychologist Kevin Browne of Nottingham University added to the BBC that studies in Hungary have shown that babies are often abandoned by relatives, pimps, fathers and stepfathers. Whether or not the mother consented to having her child given away or was pressured into it is often unknown.
"Therefore, the big question is: are these baby boxes upholding women's rights, and has the mother of that child consented to the baby being placed in the baby box?" Brown told the BBC.
Proponents of the boxes, however, claim that they are a safe alternative to leaving a child in the middle of nowhere, where they may die from not receiving proper care. Typically, inside the heated baby box, blankets are provided to keep the infant warm. There are often letters that reassure the person leaving the child that they will be cared for, a place to leave your contact details if you want to do so and information just in case the person changes their mind. Gabriele Stangl of Waldfriede Hospital in Berlin - which has a baby box - told the BBC that she believes these boxes save lives because it provides a secure place to give up your child.
Steffanie Wolpert, one of the organizers of the baby box system in Hamburg, Germany, told the BBC that it is better than not providing any services. In 1999, before the baby boxes were implemented in Hamburg, five babies were abandoned and three of them were found dead. Since implementation, one of the boxes in Hamburg has had 42 babies left over the last 10 years. Seventeen of the mothers have contacted the organization, and fourteen have taken their child back at a later date.
Only one such location, "Angel's Cradle" in Vancouver, exists in Canada. Dr. Geofree Cundiff told the CBC that he started the baby box because babies are abandoned all the time - box or no box.
"If we can save one, to me, that is a program that is pragmatic -- even if they don't know who their parents are," Cundiff said to the CBC.
Do you feel baby boxes should be allowed or do they send the wrong message?

Man in custody after woman stabbed at MATC downtown campus
Police say suspect knew victim
A man walked into a Milwaukee Area Technical College building in downtown Milwaukee with a knife and stabbed a female student Wednesday morning, police said.
Classes were just getting under way at the main campus when police said a man walked into a third floor office looking for a female student he knew.
Police said it was an act of domestic violence and when he saw her, he attacked.
The campus is right across the street from Milwaukee police headquarters, and officers were on the scene almost immediately.
"All of a sudden, this girl came into class, and she's screaming that there's somebody on the third floor that was stabbed. And, it kind of freaked everybody out in class," MATC nursing student Julio Mena said.
Mena said he grabbed his medical kit.
"I'm like ready to jump up, and as soon as I'm ready, police are flying by the door, and it was just crazy. I can't believe that happened right on the third floor," Mena said.
An MATC officer handcuffed the suspect, who's a former student, within a minute of the stabbing, and the female student victim was immediately rushed to the hospital.
"The suspect did indeed know the victim. This wasn't random. It wasn't like someone just came in here and wantonly started stabbing people. This was an ongoing relationship between the suspect and the victim," Milwaukee police Lt. Ray Gibbs said.
Student Jaymar Childs said he, too, learned of the stabbing when a girl ran into class.
"She was hysterical. She was talking about how you want to go to school and be safe and stuff like that. It's a real serious situation for somebody to actually get stabbed in school. Something I've never heard of before," Childs said.
But the administration said students shouldn't be alarmed.
"The students should be assured that this campus is safe and secure, that this was an isolated incident between two students that knew each other, and our public safety team responded immediately to the situation," MATC President Michael Burke said.
At last report, the victim was in critical condition with multiple stab wounds.
Many students who were inside the building at the time told WISN 12 News they didn't even know about the stabbing, and that a search for the suspect was going on.

Front Range Indoor Golf & Tap, 900 S. Hover St., Unit D, has abruptly shut its doors after being open only four months.
The owner, Sean Lynch, sent an email out to those on its mailing list on Monday, a day it is normally closed, announcing the closure but giving no reason for it. The note also thanked customers for their patronage.
Inside Wednesday, the 3,800-square-foot space was virtually empty, save for a few beer kegs and some cleaning supplies. There was no sign on the door and the phone was set to "fax" mode, although the website was still functioning.
Lynch opened Front Range Indoor Golf & Tap in December as a combination traditional bar and indoor golf center. For a rate of $40 per hour total per simulator, golfers could choose to "play" a variety of courses using real clubs and hitting real balls. If four people played for an hour, that was $10 an hour.
The balls would bounce off a screen while cameras focused on the clubhead would coordinate with the software in the simulators to project an image of the ball flying. The player would then see where on the course the next shot would come from.
Attempts to reach a principal with PBR Twin Peaks LLC, a subsidiary of Fort Collins-based PB Roche Real Estate Solutions, owners of the building, were also unsuccessful Wednesday.
Longmont businesswoman Cindy Noble, an active golfer herself, said she and a group of ladies from the "Sweet Spots" local golf club got together at Front Range every other week to play. She said she had gone in to buy a gift certificate for someone and the next day got an email telling her it was closed.
"We loved it," Noble said. "We loved everything about it and we really appreciated the instruction."
One of the things Lynch did before he opened was to hire a pro to provide customers with on-site instruction.
Noble said the place seemed busy the times her group was in there, and it seemed to attract a wide range of ages.
"I don't know what happened, but we're going to miss it," Noble said.

Not knowing what introversion was until my 30s, I feel that I wasted some of my early years by not really understanding myself. An inspiration for my business is that I want to help others understand themselves better, earlier on in their careers and their lives. Introversion is a very misunderstood area – introverts can suffer mentally and physically because people typecast them or act negatively towards them. It's not nice to be trapped in a little box. When you label somebody, they tend to act like that label, which stops people from achieving their true potential. I don't let being an introvert define me, I let it guide me.

I been put through several years of just being sabataged on purpose by several people 3who personally hate my guts, and I am really hurt by all of that kind of hostile treatment against me and against my kids,my chuildren are disabled and I have my own health issues too and we don't need no more unfair criminal abuse from anyone and we just want to be left alone. we want to be treated like people just like everyone else is and I do have my rights to my very own personal privacy like everyone else do and I really do wish that people just respect me and my children's personal privacy and stop using me and my children like that. How can I just get them people off of my back and get them people out of my hair? I want to get my life back and I want to get my freedom back. My family and I really do need some help. Is there anyone out there who is willing and is able to help us please. I don't understand why she is so full of pure hatred against me and against my children who never did nothing to her,I just don't understand that, everyone think she is so jealous and is very controlling. Her son is no longer here because he committed suicide, I didn't have nothing to do with that. I really wonder what do she really have against me? I really do have a right to know what that is. I am a person just like everyone else is; Not different from the rest. I still have not forgotten n the summer of 1971, I was a very decent young lady, while we were visiting a relative Clara ask me Charlene are you going to bend over and let somebody get it so you can have a baby that look just like you, somethng about that made me feel very uneasy; and September 16-1972 someone tried to sexually assault me while I was on my way going to high school and this was in the broad day light about 10 am in the morning time. Ralph James and his brothers were taken away from teir mother and placed in foster care untill 18 years of age, my family and I never had anything to do with them. and we did not know where they lived but one day Ralph James suddenly showed up at our home while I was living a home with my parents and he never said what he really wanted. I was pretty much close to home and I did graduate from high school that year. the summer of 1976, 3 of us children was still living at home and ond day suddenly Clara the aunt called my parents home for me and my brother who is mentally ill to spend 2 weeks iat her home and I never did know what she really wanted me for any way, she only talked to my parent, she didn't talk to me and I was a 20 year old grown adult. She asked me Charlene don't you feel sorry for yourself, I told her no I don't feel sorry for myself, she kept pickig on me I can see that, and she did ask me in front of a women neighbor ,do you think I am better than your parents and do you like me better than your mother and father? and when I did not give her the right answer that she wanted to hear, she did turn on me, she was very angry with me and she picked a nasty fight with me in her house, she argued and said she was going to beat my ass and she tried to hit me in my face, she told me what I needed was a big black private at the her son came out of his bed room and taken me to his room untill the coast was clear,it was summer time dark out side and it was raining, I left out her front door and I never went back, we were out of there uin 3 days. I been criminally abused, followed aand harrassed by them people over decades; June 1988, my Illinois bell service was cut inthe basement and 2 years later in 1990 child wefare came to my door and they came from 1990 to 2002 and in between., this is not no coincident ,there was too many bad thing that happend to me and my kids, somebody personally don't like me any way and they don't want me with my own kids. it is jealousy and a personal vendetta against me any way, I am not stupid .these are the same people who have been targeting me focusing on me for a dangerous excuse just to get back at me and hurt my kids who didn't do nothing to them people. I know what I am talking about, my children never did need any protection away from me. I was the one who really needed the protection away from them people. over the years and decades, these are the same people who deprived me of my civil rights because they are relentlessly angry at me. they are all in my way on purpose and deliverately and I am not in their way, no I am not. I am wondering why I can't be just left alone just like everybody else and live in peace and harmony. at this point I feel hijacked and like a possession snd that is not fair to me and my kids. When my son Alexander was in Warren Park 6700 N Damen Ave, he mysteriously gotten away from here on July 28,2008 and ended up in a hospital and he was not looking so good at all. He was not eating, not drinking any fluids, his teet was clenched (jaws is jammed). He would not talk to me at all, and his eyes was rolled bck to his head, I did see that. he was in Illinois Masonic Hospital and e was floating between 17 different hospitals and nursing homes and treated like trash. as a result of that; there were bruises, scars and holes poked in his legs I did not do that to my own son. that happened when he was suddenly in someone else's place and care. he was not at my home when all of this happened to him.and not no one even talk to me about it; my son had to be put on life support and a feeding tube. I will never forget all of the pure hatred and hell them people put me and my kids through over the years, they blamed me since I was only a 5 year old baby girl and for grown people responsibilities. and there are very jealous and racist blacks in the family.I know because I been put through pure hell in this family and I was never wanted from birth; the father denied me and the mother denied me as their child that was not fair to me at all I am a person too, I have feelings like everybody else do my children and I don't appriciate being treated like an object with no feelings and I don't appriciate them people in this family feeding me and my children like a rat. We are people too, I don't care what we are to them people they are not no better then me nor my children and I don't appriciate being BULLIED by a family who I did not pick and choose to be taken too and I was born an inocent baby and my children were born inocent babies like all the rest of the babies too. I can see that I have my difference too and I had a right to my difference and this family never even thought enough of me to respect my rights to be different no matter how different I was and they don't have no respect for my children just because they are my children and they look like me and their father. THAT IS MUC H TOO MUCH HATRED AGAINST ME AND MY CHILDREN FOR NOTHING. no one is perfect; IS EVERYBODY ELSE KEEPING THEIR NOSE CLEAN? , Well what ever the excuse is we do got a right to be different and that shouldn have been acepted and respected and my children have their difference just like everybody else do and they both have a right too and we would't have a world without it

The launch of Mos Burger's new limited edition Salt Kōji Burger on May 24 officially confirms that salty mold is now the flavor du jour in Japanese kitchens. Kōji, or to give it its long-winded name, Aspergillus oryzae, is a domesticized fungus that has been used in the production of miso, sake and soy sauce for centuries. Salt kōji, made by mixing salt and kōji with water, then leaving it to ferment, is also a traditional seasoning, but one that had rather fallen out of use until it enjoyed a revival in the latter half of 2011.
According to Yomiuri Online, the craze for salt kōji started off when Komego, a miso store in Fukui Prefecture, started selling it for use as a simple seasoning back in January 2011. Word spread with restaurants around the area using the ingredient, causing it to eventually catch on with the mass media.
It was traditionally used as a seasoning for vegetable and fish dishes, but now cooks are enthusiastically using the ingredient more creatively with meat as well as in soups and sauces. Marinating meat or fish in salt kōji converts the starches and proteins into sugars and amino acids increasing the umami, or savory flavors, of the meat. Though salt kōji can be bought, it's quite simple to make at home, and plenty of cooking websites have featured instructions (see video) on how to whip up a homemade batch.
Fukui Prefecture, which has been a driving force behind the boom, has now introduced a kōji mascot to highlight the benefits of this versatile ingredient. Kōji-kun is drawn in the image of a grain of rice with some weird stuff growing out of its head, to illustrate the fact that kōji starts out life growing on grains of rice. Kōji is also depicted in cute cartoon form in the manga and subsequent anime of "Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture" a story about an agricultural student who can see and communicate with bacteria.
If you'd like to try out this taste sensation for yourself at Mos Burger, then you'll have to hurry as there will only be 1 million Salt Kōji Burgers available. Rather than being used as a marinade for the meat, the salt kōji is mixed into a special mayo sauce for a salad topping of crispy nagaimo and edamame.

This chapter provides an overview of the Reference Process Model linkage to the Oracle Enterprise Repository (OER) and the installation process. This chapter includes the following sections:
Section 8.1, "Understanding Reference Process Model Linkage to Oracle Enterprise Repository"
Section 8.3, "Manually Uploading Reference Process Models to Business Process Publisher"
Oracle has created and delivered conceptual horizontal logical reference process models, as well as reference process models for those processes supported by Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) releases. The reference process models for Foundation Pack (FP) or a Process Integration Pack (PIP) enable you to see and understand how AIA provides application integration solutions for your business processes.
The models combine the view of the business analyst with the view of the technical analyst and provide both a business and technical view of the process. Oracle uses a standard modeling notation and adds technical artifacts to the models at the lowest level of decomposition by linking the reference process models to the appropriate Enterprise Business Service (EBS) artifact in the OER.
The user experience enables you to:
Log in to the Business Process Publisher.
Navigate to a process model.
Drill down through the various process levels from L0 all the way to the lowest level, L2 or L3 as shown in Figure 8-1.
Click a link (relative URLs) to access the relevant EBS that supports the process within the OER, as shown in Figure 8-2.
Because this feature requires UI linkages between two distinct products, Business Process Publisher and Oracle Enterprise Repository, the following mechanisms are in place:
When users click the relative URLs in the process models inside the Business Publisher, HTTP requests are made to a redirect servlet. This servlet resides on the Tomcat application server of the Business Publisher; its sole purpose is to redirect the requests to another redirect servlet residing on the Oracle AIA side. This first redirect servlet will be called the Tomcat redirect servlet in the remainder of this chapter.
The second servlet resides on the Oracle AIA side. Its purpose is to intercept the call and interpret the URLs. The URL is encoded and parameterized. As such, the URL is translated into an appropriate OER UI URL. This second redirect servlet will be called the AIA redirect servlet in the remainder of this chapter.
At this point, OER UI is rendered in a pop-up browser.
The reference process models are delivered in two forms:
The source database file (.adb), which contains all models. These models can be modified through the use of a licensed copy of Oracle's Business Process Architect (OBPA)
An export of all models, which are read only through the use of Oracle's Business Process Publisher.
The installation of the reference process models differs from the AIA installation. They use different installers and can be installed on different machines.
OER can be installed as an option during the AIA installation or separately from the AIA installation. If installing OER separately from the AIA installation, the AIA redirect servlet will have to be manually deployed on the WebLogic server where AIA is deployed.
Options for Utilizing the Reference Process Models
The first option for utilizing the reference process models is through OBPA. OBPA allows for full access to the reference process models. If you do not already have a copy of OBPA, contact Oracle Sales to purchase a licensed copy. Follow the instructions provided with the software to install the Architect and restore the models source database file. The source database file, filename.adb, is located in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\ADB\ directory on the Oracle AIA release media pack. Included in this directory are the Oracle AIA filter and template files used to create the models. Refer to the software documentation for installing the filter and template. If you already have a licensed copy of the Business Process Architect, you can obtain the credentials to log into the database from the metalink note 763620.1 titled Login Credentials to open the AIA models within Oracle BPA Suite on Metalink.
The second option for utilizing the reference process models is through Oracle's Business Process Publisher. Unlike OBPA, Publisher allows read-only access to the process models. The Business Process Publisher is a packaged component within an Oracle AIA release media pack. The Business Process Publisher installation is described in the installation guide that comes with the Publisher. You must manually copy and upload the AIA reference process models onto the Business Publisher and implement and configure the Tomcat redirect servlet as discussed in the next sections, before you can view the models. The reference process model files that are required to be installed with the Publisher can be found in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Export directory and the files to configure the Tomcat redirect servlet are in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Setup directory.
Note:The installation of Business Process Publisher and the models is independent from the AIA installation. The current feature of uploading the reference process models onto the Business Process Publisher is supported only on a Microsoft Windows XP platform at this time. Use Business Process Publisher 11gR1 version 18.104.22.1687082 to view the models.
To manually upload Reference Process Models to the Business Process Publisher:
Download Business Process Publisher and unzip it on a local drive (that is, C:\).
Copy the \Export directory and its contents from \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\ to the \Business Process Publisher directory (that is, C:\<directory Publisher unzipped to>\Business Process Publisher\).
Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4 show the Business Process Publisher directory structure with the added Export directory.
Run the setup.exe from C:\<directory Publisher unzipped to>\Business Process Publisher\.
Accept all the defaults.
Restart your computer for the application to install successfully.
Log in to Business Publisher (username = AIA, password = Welcome1 and filter = Entire Method).
Note:You can view the models at this point with the Entire Method Filter or you can install the AIA BPA Filter and log in using it. You cannot view if you log in using any other filter because other filters do not have all objects that are used to create the AIA models. You cannot link to the EBS artifacts until you complete the OER installation and configure both redirect servlets.
To deploy the AIA redirect servlet on the WebLogic server where AIA is installed, perform these tasks after installing OER.
Navigate to $AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/Install/templates.
This folder contains AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink.war file.
Encrypt the HarvesterSettings.xml. To encrypt the file:
Update the HarvesterSettings.xml file under $AIA_INSTANCE/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester with the correct OER URL and login credentials (cleartext).
Encrypt this file using the encrypt.sh script under $AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester.
./encrypt.sh $AIA_INSTANCE/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester/HarvesterSettings.xml $AIA_INSTANCE/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester/HarvesterSettings.xm
Add the HarvesterSettings.xml to AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink.war file.
Deploy the modified war file either from either from the WebLogic admin console or using the deployment plan. To deploy using the deployment plan:
Create a DeploymentPlan.xml file and paste the content shown in Example 8-1.
Example 8-1 DeploymentPlan.xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <DeploymentPlan component="FP" version="3.0"> <Deployments> <Application name="AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink" filelocation="${AIA_INSTANCE}/Infrastructure/Install/templates/AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink.war" wlserver="fp" failonerror="true" action="deploy"/> </Deployments> </DeploymentPlan>
Ensure that the file location in deploymentPlan.xml file points to the location where the modified war file is located which is $AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/Install/templates.
Set the environment by running the following commands for your platform, as shown in Table 8-1.
Navigate to cd $AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/Install/AID
Run the following commands for your platform to configure redirect servlet, as shown in Table 8-2.
Table 8-2 Commands for configuring redirect servlet
Solaris SPARC
IBM AIX Based Systems
ant -f AIAInstallDriver.xml -DDeploymentPlan=<location of DeploymentPlan.xml> -DPropertiesFile=$AIA_INSTANCE/config/AIAInstallProperties.xml
Microsoft Windows
ant -f AIAInstallDriver.xml -DDeploymentPlan=<location of DeploymentPlan.xml> -DPropertiesFile=$AIA_INSTANCE\config\AIAInstallProperties.xml
To configure the Tomcat redirect servlet on Business Publisher:
Note:Install OER and the AIA redirect servlet prior to configuring the Tomcat redirect servlet on the Business Publisher.
You can find the Tomcat redirect servlet files in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Setup\ directory.
Place the aia-redirect.jar file in the Business Process Publisher lib folder.
\<Publisher install directory>\Program Files\Oracle BPA Suite11g\BPServer\tomcat\webapps\businesspublisher\WEB-INF\lib.
Reconfigure the Business Publisher web.xml file to trigger the filter logics implemented in the aia-redirect.jar.
The web.xml is located in the \<Publisher install directory>\Oracle BPA Suite11g\BPServer\tomcat\webapps\businesspublisher\WEB-INF directory
Copy the contents of the aia-web.xml file and place them after the other filter parameters in the Business Publisher web.xml file.
Using Example 8-2, modify the following parameter values, noted in bold, with the information from your AIA implementation:
<filter> <filter-class>com.oracle.aia.util.AIAServletRedirectFilter</filter-class> <init-param> <param-name>hostname</param-name> <param-value>{host.name}</param-value> ßReplace {host.name} with hostname of OER server and delete this comment </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>port</param-name> <param-value>{http.port}</param-value> ßReplace {http.port} with SOA port number of OER server and delete this comment </init-param> <init-param> <description>Version V1 or V2</description> <param-name>bsrversion</param-name> <param-value>{bsr.version}</param-value> ßReplace {bsr.version} with v2 and delete this comment </init-param> <init-param> <description>The physical location of AIAComponents directory</description> <param-name>aialocation</param-name> <param-value>{aia.location}</param-value> </init-param> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>AIARedirectFilter</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping>
Restart the Business Publisher for Application service, Oracle Business Process Publisher Server 11g.
Confirm successful configuration.
Log in to the Business Publisher.
Navigate to an L3 model.
Click an object and view the attributes of the object in the Details Object pane.
Click the URL in the Link 1 field. An OER login screen pops up.
Log in (get the username and password information from your AIA implementer).
Check whether you can view the information for the EBS artifact you clicked.
Note:You need to log in to OER only for the first URL link that you click; after that, OER refreshes the window with the new artifact information.

That is the question of the hour. My initial reaction was very positive until I heard about what we gave up (#41, #73 and #83 picks – and getting some later round pick back from the Pats). I had told Steve shortly after taking Raji that I wouldn't mind trading up to get one of the high profile LBs who were still available. So, I actually don't really fault TT for trading up to get a LB he apparently really wanted. And, I also just like that he did something a bit different, a bit unconventional for TT. Really, he's taken a decent gamble here because we gave up a lot for this guy. One thing I suspect is that TT thinks there are likely to be some decent players available still in the later rounds. Prior to the draft he disagreed with some of the other GMs who thought this was a weak draft. He said he thought it was actually quite a "deep" draft.
While I'm not sure I would have given up quite so much, in the end, I have to say I'm pleased with Day 1. A fair # of the draft "experts" had both of these guys ranked within the top 20 – so having 2 top 20 guys is a good thing.

It's not all Petit dej' and hot chocolate at Hotel Meurice. Unless independently wealthy, there are times when a quick snack between posh joints is essential.
Columbus Cafe is the French version of Starbucks. A muffin is considered "dessert" A Coke is boisson fraiche
Owner Philippe Bloch says,
"We completely gave up china cups in 1995 and now only offer paper cups"
On the other hand they do have quite nice salades.I've had the Nicoises.And they do have free WI FI
You don't expect an ardoise/black board menu for a take-away chain.SNACK TIME is by ODEON Metro station 97, Bd St Germain 75006Their fare looks fresh and pas cher/not expensive
COJEAN is the newest Paris fast food chain and the most chic.
Another frequent snack is salade composee from Monoprix. I was fascinated by these lemon meringue at LAFAYETTE GOURMET. I didn't get one though.

Welcome to CrazytownThursday, July 21st, 2011
Remember "Dollar" Bill Ketron and his plan to set up a Tennessee state currency? [Tennessean, March 1]
How about the Tennessee GOP's new spokesman? Disgraced actor Charlie Sheen, a known abuser of drugs and women. [Nashville Scene, April 29]
Welcome to Crazytown.
Since the beginning of the year, Republican politicians have made no secret of their plans to hand over our state and our democracy to big corporations while sending working- and middle-class families down the Tennessee River.
Sadly, you could overlook the extreme agenda and Tennessee's Republican politicians would still give you plenty of reasons to scratch your head.
From desk carvers and communist lovers to lunch dates with radical governors and allegations of political corruption, the Tennessee GOP has got it all:
- GOPer Speaker Beth Harwell giddy for radical Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Walker attacked the rights of Wisconsin workers and families, passed an undemocratic voter ID bill, and gave tax breaks to the rich and big corporations. Considering Beth Harwell accomplished many of the same things, no wonder, in a tweet, she called him "one of our best Republican governors." [Beth Harwell Twitter, June 29]
- Tennessee GOP gaga for Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels at big, corporate fundraiser. How do you get Tennessee Republicans to fawn over you? Write a budget plan that crashes the U.S. economy, voice your strong support of privatizing Social Security and slash millions in funding for public schools. Naturally, Republican lawmakers lauded Daniels' destructive record at a high-dollar fundraiser last week. [TN Report, May 18]
- State representatives caught in TBI investigation with naughty nurses. The Kingsport Times News reported three suspended nurse practitioners accused of contributing to two patients' deaths somehow got their licenses restored. State Rep. Tony Shipley told the paper, he's the "rascal behind the scenes that made it happen." [WPLN, July 20]
- Desk-carving GOPer grabs national headlines. Back in Nashville, state Rep. Julia Hurley carved her initials in her desk on the floor of the state House. She said she was bored during a late session and said, "I wasn't thinking straight." Unfortunately, her voting record against teachers and Tennessee families showed us that all year. [News Sentinel, July 11]
- Out-of-touch Obion County Republican praises communist China's government-run economy within a day of 1,900 factory workers in his hometown losing their jobs through no fault of their own. Rep. Bill Sanderson, on a trip to China, marveled at the "smooth and efficient" Chinese government. Impressed by the government-run economy, the Republican said China has "taken what we do and are now doing it better." Yes, Mr. Sanderson, the Chinese are taking what we are doing, like the 1,900 jobs at the Goodyear plant in Union City. But Mr. Sanderson, they will never do it better than Americans. [Bill Sanderson Blog, July 11]
Republican politicians may be proud of their party's scandals, embarrassing gaffes and out-of-touch policies, but Tennesseans aren't laughing.
We are looking to add 100 new grassroots donors for the month of July. Click here to help today with a gift of $5 and show your support for returning to common sense and effective leadership in Tennessee.
It's time to shutdown Crazytown. With your help, we can do it.
Thanks for all you do,
Chip Forrester
Chairman, Tennessee Democratic Party

LEMONT – When Argonne National Laboratory held a dedication for its new supercomputer on July 1, it was the culmination of almost 10 years of work.
Mira, the fifth fastest supercomputer in the world, is an IBM Blue Gene/Q system consisting of 48 racks of computers and 786,432 processors. It has 768 terabytes of memory and is capable of 10 quadrillion calculations per second.
"People are very excited about it," said Rick Stevens, Argonne's associate laboratory director for computing, environment and life sciences. "It's a new great resource for computational science. You can do things that you just couldn't do before. If you are an artist, it's like having a giant canvas."
The name Mira comes from the Latin root word for "admirable" or "miraculous." Stevens said Argonne chose the name because it is easy to spell and fun to say.
The project started in 2004 as a collaboration between Argonne, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and IBM. The labs hired IBM to build a new supercomputer for each site.
Five years were spent on research and development. Stevens said IBM developed the supercomputer, while the labs gave the performance requirements. IBM then spent two years putting designs into production.
Argonne received the hardware for the supercomputer in January 2012, but installation was an 18-month-long process.
Stevens said that because the supercomputer was too big for IBM to put together and test ahead of time, Argonne knew it would discover things it had to fix during the installation.
"Big machines have a very complex process of bringing them up," he said. "Each rack has many connections to other racks. You install a few racks, wire them up and test them, then install a few more."
That process took nearly eight months, after which Argonne had to put the system through strict tests to determine performance and reliability.
Stevens said Mira has been running effectively for a few weeks. It will be used for all the research projects done at the lab, as well as by other labs across the country.
The new supercomputer will allow researchers to work on larger projects and do projects faster, Stevens said. Researchers use computers to simulate experiments quicker and more efficiently than if they were to physically make the designs.
"(A more powerful supercomputer) makes simulations more accurate, so the difference between what your model predicts and what you actually design is as small as possible," he said.
The scientists at Argonne will not simply sit back and marvel at their new supercomputer. Staying at the forefront of research is a constant process.
Argonne's last supercomputer, Intrepid, was installed in 2008, well after plans for Mira had started. Mira is 20 times faster than Intrepid, which at the time of its installation was the third-fastest supercomputer in the world.
According to Stevens, Argonne is already making plans for its next supercomputer, which it hopes to have functioning by 2017.
"This is partly what we are talking about with U.S. competitiveness," he said. "It takes a large number of people and a decadal effort to stand up these machines."

Let $G$ be a finitely presented group with generators $g_1, g_1^{-1},\ldots, g_n, g_n^{-1}$. Let $L(G)$ be the language of all those words in $g_1, \ldots, g_n$ which represent the trivial element of $G$. It's well known that there exists a Turing machine $T$ which accepts $L(G)$ (it doesn't necessary always stop).
Conversely, given an alphabet $A$ consisting of symbols $g_1, g_1^{-1}, \ldots, g_n, g_n^{-1}$, and a language $L$ on $A$ accepted by a Turing machine $T$ it's easy to give neccesary and sufficient conditions on $L$ so that for some group $G$ we have $L=L(G)$. Namely $L$ should be closed under (1) concatanation (2) reductions and additions of the terms $g_ig_i^{-1}$ and $g_i^{-1}g_i$, (3) "conjugation" i.e. given $w\in L$ the words $gwg^{-1}$ and $g^{-1}wg$ are also in $L$.
Question 1. Is there a set of conditions on a Turing machine $T$ which assures that the language $L(T)$ accepted by $T$ fulfills the conditions (1)-(3) above?
For the purpose of this question "a set of conditions" means an algorithm which always stops, which takes as the input a Turing machine $T$, and if $L(T)$ fulfills (1)-(3) then the algorithm returns YES (if it returns NO then it can be either way).
Of course I'm interested in algorithms which output YES on a possibly big set of Turing machines.
Question 2. Is there an algorithm as above which returns YES exactly on the set of those machines $T$ such that $L(T)$ fulfills conditions (1)-(3).

Suspicious package in Kittery deemed non-threat
Suspicious duffel bag forced evacuations
Kittery police said a suspicious package ended up being a duffel bag filled with clothes.
Police said a blue duffel bag was left in front of the sign for a shuttle to Portsmouth near the intersection of Water Street and Route 1 just after noon by a woman who told authorities she thought it would be safe there.
Police blocked off the street and the Maine State Police Bomb Squad was called to investigate after it was reported to be a suspicious package.
Some homes in the area were evacuated.
"I'm sure everybody who feels like what happened in Boston was a little bit too close to home for us around here," said resident Deb Braun.
"I think Boston plays a role in this now because every package and bag that's left unattended now, and people are probably acutely aware, we encourage them to always be that aware," said Kittery Police Chief Theodor Short.
It was determined the bag was no threat and was only filled with clothes. The bag's owner, Crystal Ryan, learned about the incident when she returned from a day in Kittery, about four hours after law enforcement was called in.
"I am embarrassed, and I am sorry to the city that this happened. It's a misunderstanding, but it's better to be safe than sorry considering all that's happened and all that's going on, you know," said Ryan.
Ryan, who is between homes, said the bag contains just about everything she owns.
"I knew the bag was here and I didn't want to carry it. That thing is heavy," said Ryan.
Even if it was a simple misunderstanding, Short said in the post-Boston bombing world, every threat, every suspicious report is taken seriously.
"If you have more eyes and ears out there that are paying attention to minimize them, because that's when problems occur for us, so I think it's a great thing for a person to call this in," said Short.

Spring Show-N-Go at Paradise - Web Exclusive
Back in 2006, B.B. Brown approached Otto Timms, the owner of Paradise Drag Strip in Calhoun, Georgia about putting a nostalgia drag event together. The track opened in 1961, so it has tons of history in its roots, including high-level match races, and some of the fastest Super Stock racers in the Southeast. Paradise Drag Strip was originally a quarter mile track, but these days it's used only as an eighth mile for safety reasons, and the Show-N-Go event is held twice a year-one in the spring and one in the fall. With a car show, lots of heads up racing and an enormous swap meet, the Paradise Show-N-Go is a must-go event.
There are no particular classes for the racing portion of the show, giving it a laid-back feel with lots of action on the track. The Spring 2010 event was held on May 8th, and it was one of the biggest events yet. In fact, B.B. said they would've had trouble finding room for any more participants, so it may be time to devise a new plan for parking. With all the cool activities, mixed with a great track crew that truly enjoys watching these old machines do their thing, the Paradise Show-N-Go is sure to grow even more.

Duck-san from Japan shares his thoughts about Sandy Bridge overclocking!
Duck-san is a famous Japanese overclocker and a world record holder on numerous occasions. His shares his wealth of knowledge from time to time on forums and blogs.
We came across a very interesting writeup about Sandy Bridge overclocking and topics related to it recently and wanted to share a link for some interesting reading. The link is translated from Japanese to English so some translations are not perfect but it's certainly not hard to understand through context.
Duck uses the P67A-UD7 to hit close to 5.6GHz OC and talks about some interesting peculiarities when it comes to overclocking the new generation boards and CPUs.

New GIGABYTE 6 Series SATA Check utility identifies B2 or B3 stepping chipset
As the new B3 stepping GIGABYTE 6 series motherboards start to ship, we have updated the GIGABYTE 6 Series SATA Check utility so that it also identifies the chipset and its stepping as either 'Revision: B2' or 'Revision: B3' as can be seen in the screenshots below.
The new 6 Series SATA Check utility is available for download now from the utilities section of the GIGABYTE website.
Youngpro from TeamAU does a quick preview and video on OC Touch with X58A-OC, very cool!
James, youngpro, from TeamAU did a quick preview of the new X58A-OC board on Xtremesystems while he waits for his LN2 to come I hear and did a quick performance comparison between a few different boards as well as a video showing OC-Touch.
One of the images on the forum linked above shows a 32M SuperPi (RAM benchmark) with ram running at 1272Mhz on air cooling in dual channel (Corsair GTX6 1GB modules). He says he would normally use 1GB modules in dual channel rather than a single channel 4GB for LN2 CPU testing to reduce load on IMC. Good thinking 99!
I can't wait to see what he'll do with some LN2 and a 990X
GIGABYTE P67 Sandy Bridge boards still the most efficient in 3DMARK01 by a long way!

X58A-OC Features In Detail!
I want to go into the main features in a bit more detail to give you a better understanding what they do and how they could potentially improve your OC experience. Main features include:
- OC-Touch
- OC-Cool
- OC-Dual BIOS
Hiding under the heatsink are the new 50A rated driver MOS chips used to deliver up to 600A(1200W) load via 12 phases. Dual power design is still in place providing redundant phase power and great phase control.
Dual 8pin power input support up to 720A (1500W).
PWM switch allows "on the fly" PWM frequency adjustment from 600, 800 & 1000KHz (default is 400KHz). This can be handy during initial CPU testing to see what frequencies get the most out of the chips at different loads. It can be done in windows so while doing your CPU testing flick to different frequency and see what works best.
Surface mount POSCAP tantalum capacitors used on the whole board for quality and low clearance.
Highlighted here from left to right are LED BIOS POST codes for troubleshooting, measurement points for most important voltage read points named in photo, 4G button allowing a one touch 4GHz OC and a row of buttons allowing real time "on the fly", hardware level ratio and bclock adjustment.
Real time multiplier or bclock changes used to be done via EasyTune and still can be but for the most part all overclockers will change primarily are ratios and bclock once they know which settings work best. There are a lot of applications for ratio and bclock adjustment buttons such as booting at multi your CPU likes and clocking up bclock. This is one of the best ways to max out most chips and also improve efficiency related to system setting tweaking.
Aside from independent power input to each PCIe slot on the board, additional two SATA power connectors are provided to boost power to PCIe slots in 3/4WAY GPU configurations during benching. There won't be a need to route Molex cables in between pots underneath the last GPU pot any more. This location is much easier to reach and it won't even need insulating most likely as it sits a long way away from GPU pots.
New heatsink design is used on the board. There are also 7x 4-pin fan headers which will all be independently controlled through bios for the first time! LED lights on northbridge cooler breaking through LN2 clouds during benching looks OC-Cool (pun intended hehe).
OC-Dual BIOS
Dual bios files are used on the board as it's been a standard on all GIGABYTE boards however there is a little twist with the OC board. This board allows users to switch between bios files so you can select which bios to boot from. You might want to have a superpi bios and a 3D bios let's say allowing to easily boot from the preferred bios. Switch is located at the far end of the board making it easily accessible in multi GPU configurations.

OC-PEG and OC-Touch on the X58A-OC
This is a nice shot of the OC PEG (PCI Express Graphics) and OC-Touch features on the X58A-OC. The two SATA power in connectors on either side of the SATA ports can be fed power from a 2nd and 3rd PSU if need be - just found a use for that old 400W PSU that's been lying around.
We've created a facebook photo album for the X58A-OC and will upload more pictures as our design team prepares them.
I was just commenting to a friend this morning that we're in a pretty happy place at GIGABYTE at the moment; I don't remember a time when we've had so many unique products all at once (referring to the G1-Killer, X58A-OC and P67A-UD7 boards).

Video guide how to update your backup bios on GIGABYTE P67 boards
I did a quick video to show users how to copy the main bios to backup bios.
Updating the backup bios to something newer is not a bad idea as it helps calm down the dual bios trigger from overreacting a bit early and it also allows users to once again use Qflash bios update utility rather than windows based flash such as @BIOS.
X58A-OC "OC Touch" feature used to push 990X to 7.1Ghz
Hey guys, here's a quick shout out to everyone about another new feature we have with the X58A-OC board called OC Touch. It's essentially a hardware level overclocking feature capable of adjusting the multiplier and bclock on the fly in or out of the operating system.
I've got a video here that hicookie made today to give you an idea how it works. He's got the new Core i7 990X installed, LN2 pot running at -170C+, CPU boots at 6.4Ghz (178*36) and then gets clocked up using OC Touch bclock buttons to 7.1GHz (197*36). Easy!
A keen eye can spot some other interesting things we'll get to in the future updates so stay tuned!

GIGABYTE 6 Series mobo SATA port chart
The numbering of SATA ports on a motherboard can be confusing, but once it has been explained to you it makes perfect sense. The 1st SATA port on a P67 chipset mobo is called SATA3_0 where SATA3 refers to Serial ATA 3.0 that runs at 6Gbps. If it were to read SATA2 then it refers to Serial ATA 2.0 that runs at 3Gbps. The number following the underscore (_) refers the SATA port number. Here is a typical SATA port layout as seen on the GIGABYTE P67A-UD3P:
In the picture above the white ports are the two SATA3 ports (SATA3_0 and SATA3_1) that are not affected by Intel's recent announcement. The black ports (SATA2_2 through SATA2_5) carry the risk of performance degradation over time.
The following chart shows which 6 series mobo SATA ports are risk free. There is a key below the chart that explains some of the abbreviations.
ESATA: External SATA port
GSATA: Additional SATA3 ports (GIGABYTE SATA ports)
09 Feb Update: The chart has been updated to include the GA-P67A-UD3R, as well as adding an additional SATA2 port to the GA_P65A-UD3 row.
First sub-10minute 32M SuperPi on AMD done by Mad222 using GIGABYTE 890FXA-UD7!
SuperPi is one of those old school benchmarks which will just never go away because no matter what new generation of CPUs and boards come out, it provides a very good indication of platform efficiency when it comes to system and memory tuning. This benchmarks takes up a huge amount of time and effort which is what Mad222 has put in, first from his tireless benching and tweaking and also from his search for the golden CPU.
Today marks the day of one of those amazing achievements which are rarely seen and can't come often enough. First sub-10minute AMD 32M SuperPi went down overnight in Hong Kong at an astonishing 6991.7Mhz frequency using GIGABYTE's flagship 890FXA-UD7 motherboard and an AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU.
This truly belongs in SuperPi Hall of Fame. Congratulations and keep pushing it as the famous Dane would say!

GIGABYTE 6 Series SATA Check Application, tool to help optimise SATA port usage on current P67/H67 boards
The news of the SATA 2.0 issues with Intel 6 series chipsets has sparked a lot of uncertainty about how this will affect those of us who upgraded to the new Sandy Bridge architecture. Essentially, if you're using 1 or 2 SATA devices then this chipset issue need not affect you at all because you can connect your devices to the 2 white SATA 3.0 ports. However, if you're using 3 or more SATA devices, you may want to prioritise your more important devices on the white SATA 3.0 ports (e.g. hard drive with your operating system on it) and the less important devices on the Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports (e.g. a DVD ROM).
To help our customers optimise SATA performance on their 6 series mobos, GIGABYTE has created an easy to use utility called the GIGABYTE 6 Series SATA Check that tells you if the SATA ports that you are using are in fact the affected Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports. It also recommends that you change your SATA devices to the white SATA 3.0 ports. The utility is a simple program that will work on any 6 series chipset based mobo, and has 3 possible scenarios that offer advice for users to configure their SATA devices. To operate, simply copy this utility to your P67/H67 system's Windows desktop and unzip, then double click the "67sfck.exe" file.
The 1st scenario is where there are no devices connected to the affected Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports, and the utility will let you know that your SATA configuration is OK.
The 2nd scenario is where your devices are all connected to the affected Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports, and the utility will advise you to (Please) move 1 or 2 devices from Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports to the free SATA 3.0 ports.
The 3rd scenario is where you have devices connected to the affected Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports and the SATA 3.0 ports are also populated. Here the utility will advice you that the "Use of (the) Intel PCH SATA 2.0 ports is not recommended."
The GIGABYTE 6 Series SATA Check utility is available for download on the official GIGABYTE website.
08 Feb, 2011 Update - Here's the end user online alert from Intel: "Alert for Intel® 6 Series Express Chipsets and Intel® Xeon® C200 Chipsets users" which release by Intel, Jan 31st, 2011. http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-032263.htm.
