Mondays with Mom is a column penned from the perspective of a member of the older generation. AsianSupper contributor umma, which in case you didn't know means "Mom" in Korean. Umma immigrated to the US in the 1980s and currently lives in Washington.
When I was growing up in Korea, I remember that white rice was considered the best, and it should be only served to the elderly because right after the Korean war, white rice was scarce. And for a long time it had been, unless you were a rich farm land owner. The only time that the white rice was served to the whole family was on the Jesa day (memorial day for the deceased), and special holidays like Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving), and Sol (Lunar New Year).
Mom used to cook a big pot of barley or brown rice and just put one or two cups of white rice in the middle of the pot. And when the rice was done cooking, she will carefully take out the white rice portion and serve it to the grand parent – two big bowel of white rice among all the barley/brown rice. How we children wished we could have that white rice like the grandparents!
Now the time has changed, and it seems everything white is bad for you – it's stripped off of its nutrients, refined, and bleached with chemicals, and such. White rice supposedly is one of the "5 deadly whites": white rice, white flour, salt, sugar and "white" or refined oils. Both my husband and I are 1st generation immigrants living in America, and have been living here for more than 30 years. Our diet revolves around rice (brown or white), meat(or fish) and some side dishes. But my husband doesn't like eating brown rice, and neither do I, but considering the health consequences, I try to cook brown rice, or at least half and half. It doesn't taste as good as white rice, but you get used to it.
So, come to think of it, back then we had been serving the "deadly" white rice to our grandparents! No wonder they died at such young age! Well, it can't just be because of the white rice that they didn't live as long as people nowadays – because in the old days, white rice didn't get covered by all these unnececssary coatings. We didn't have proper medical care at the time, nor really proper nutrition for everyday human life, either.
White rice, or brown rice, I think that if you eat a moderate amount and supplement it with other vegetables and meats (fish), it will be ok.

Refresh: Manual | Auto | Jump to current inning
Last we saw these two teams on the field, the young Diamondbacks were having their way with the Cubs in last season's National League Division Series. They swept 'em. Ted Lilly, in his lone start, went nuts. Remember that? it wasn't awesome.
If you purged that from your memory bank, you're excused. It wasn't pretty.
Since then the D'Backs lost to the Colorado Rockies in the NLCS but learned a life's lesson in that series --winning's better than losing -- that they've put to practice this season. They lead the land in winsm, runs and some other categories I'm too lazy to look up. The Cubs, meanwhile, started hot and then haven't won a series since they beat the Mets on April 22 when Cedric Benson's boat was still in dry dock.
Lilly was the opposite: started slow but has been better of late, 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA over his last three starts. Let's hope he can keep it together today.
On the upside the Cubs avoid Brandon Webb, who won his eighth game last night. On the downside, Dan Haren is no slouch (4-1, 3.12).
Happy Friday, everyone (even though it's my Thursday this week) and happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there, mine included.
You want yer lineups? I got yer lineups, right here.
Baseball shortly.
First inning
If this play-by-play suddenly stops, it's not because of another server problem like we had on Wednesday, but because I passed out from this unbelievably hot giardiniera on the Italian beef sandwich with which I just stuffed my face. I'm sweating like Joe Boroswki. Holy acid reflux waiting to happen. The sky is overcast, the cold wind is blowing in and the guy a few desks away will not stop sneezing. The message board is now live. Sorry about that. Here we go after all my ramblings, Lilly hits the corner for the a strike on Eric Byrnes. Byrnes then strikes out on three pitches. Stephen Drew grounds weakly to second for the second out. Chris Young hits the first pitch he sees from Lilly into the left-field bleachers for a solo homer. Talk about deja vu. As far as I can tell Lilly did not slam his glove to the ground. Conor Jackson pops out to end the top of the first, but Young goes deep and the Cubs and Lilly already are down a goal.
D'backs 1, Cubs 0
Alfonso Soriano hits one down the left-field line. Could be trouble. Byrnes gives chase ... and it's foul. Soriano grounds out to third. Theriot hits it to left where Byrnes makes a diving catch. There's much debate in baseball that Byrnes is a phony hustler, like he gets bad jumps on balls and then makes up for it with a diving catch. Kinda like Carlos Lee back in the day. Though, I'm not comparing the two because Byrnes is a much better fielder. There was a Byrnes catch on Baseball Tonight Web Gems the other night and Buck Showalter refused to give the guy credit. Derrek Lee's out on a swinging bunt in front of the plate.
D'backs 1, Cubs 0
Second inning
Lilly fans Justin Upton on a changeup. Lilly gets Mark Reynolds, too. Chris Snyer singles to left. Lee grabs Chris Burkes pop foul near the Arizona dugout to end the top half of the second.
For Lost fans, this is a good read about last night's episode. Yes, this guy way over-analyzes a TV show, but it's always a fun read. Aramis Ramirez grounds out to short. Kosuke Fukudome takes a high slider for a called third strike. "I don't know about that one," Bob Brenly says. Geovany Soto grounds out to third and the Haren has sat down the Cubs in order so far.
D'backs 1, Cubs 0
Third inning
Haren flies out to shallow right. Byrnes skies one to left. Soriano makes the catch with his hop. Hadn't seen that in awhile because it seems like everything he's caught lately he's misjudged and caught at his waist. Drew lines one to center. Reed Johnson charges, dives and misses the ball. It rolls to the track where Fukudome gets it. A two-out triple for Drew. Young takes a backdoor breaker for strike three, stranding Drew at third.
The count goes full to DeRosa; he hits one back through the box off Haren's glove. DeRosa dives into first with an infield single. Johnson tries to bunt for a hit but it rolls foul. Johnson fouls off a number of pitches. DeRosa runs and Johnson grounds out, which is as good as a bunt, it just took about a half an hour longer. Lilly moves DeRosa to third with a ground ball to the right side. Soriano grounds to third to end the inning. So much for DeRosa at third.
D'backs 1, Cubs 0
Fourth inning
And much apologies for the Lost spoiler. Rookie move. I struck it from the record. Sorry again. I just got a little excited but I'm an idiot. Speaking of which, I'm wearing headphones, Bob Brenly and Len Kasper were talking about Richie Sexson losing it last night and throwing his batting helmet at Rangers pitcher Kason Gabbard and I yell out "Chicken s--- move!", which is how Sexson described it afterwards. Except like someone wearing headphones for the first time, it was way too loud. Even the sneezing guy looked up. Lilly walks Jackson. With Upton up, Jackson steals second without drawing a throw. Lilly strikes out Upton and Reynolds in succession. The count goes evens up 2-2 to Snyder. Soto runs out for a chat with Lilly. Snyder fouls off a few more pitches before striking out. That's seven for Lilly, a season high, says Len Kasper.
Theriot, Lee and Ramirez for the Cubs in the fourth. Theriot chases a 2-2 splitter in the dirt for strike three. Lee flies out to right on the first pitch. Ramirez falls behind 0-2 and fights one off to stay alive. He chases the same splitter Theriot went after and the Cubs go down quickly and quietly in the fourth.
D'backs 1, Cubs 0
Fifth inning
Burke squibs one towards third. Ramirez cuts in front of Theriot, throws across his body and gets the runner at first. Nice play there. Haren pops it foul down the right-field line where Fukudome dances around the bullpen mound and makes the catch next to the bricks. Bynes grounds out to Ramirez and fake hustles down to first.
Fukudome misses on a 3-2 change and strikes out for the second time today. Soto takes a backdoor cut fastball (?) for strike three and Haren is carving them up. DeRosa rips a two-out double to the left-field corner. He's got both of the Cubs' hits today. They'll put Johnson on with first base open and Lilly due up next. Lilly foils that strategy with a single to center to score DeRosa and tie the game. As Johnson was taking a big turn around second he had to leap in the air as Young's throw from center went right though his legs. Soriano turns on the first pitch and rips a double to left, scoring Johnson. Second and third and two outs for Theriot, who grounds out to short. But the Cubs get two two-out runs to take a 2-1 lead. So much for the carving up.
Cubs 2, D'backs 1
Sixth inning
Drew hits it deep to right but Fukudome catches up to it at the edge of the track just in front of the 368 sign. Lilly strikes out Young. Some guy sitting in the first row of the upper deck and wearing a pleather jacket and a white afro (a man after my own heart) makes a nice catch of a Conor Jackson foul ball. Jackson draws a two-out walk. Lilly gets two strikes on Upton and throws him a 94 mph fastball (that Upton fouls off) but I don't think I've ever seen him throw that hard. Though, that's on the stadium gun, which is probably a few notches faster than reality. Upton takes a called third and that's nine strikeouts for Lilly.
Lee leads off the Cubs' half of the sixth and grounds out to short. Haren tweaked something (maybe his ankle) on a pitch to Ramirez. Len and Bob are too busy showing off the new edition of the Heckler to notice. But I think Haren's fine. Well maybe not. He's walking around the mound now and has missed badly twice to Ramirez. Full count and Ramirez pops it up to short. Another full count, this oen to Fukudome and he draws a walk. Haren is not comfortable. Maybe it ws his knee. He doinked something falling off the mound awkwardly. Soto flies out to center.
Cubs 2, D'backs 1
Seventh inning
Reynolds pops up the first pitch to DeRosa. One pitch, one out to start the seventh. Pitch-count police: Lilly's got 96. Former Cub Juan Cruz up in the Arizona pen. Current Cub Carlos Marmol up in the other one. Lilly gets Snyder looking at a backdoor, 3-2 slider. That's 10 strikeouts for Lilly. His career best is 13, Len says. Burke lines out to Johnson in center and here's some guy named Mark Grace to sing TMOTTBG. Never heard of him. He finishes up and says, "I love you guys."
In the kind of news that warms your heart, Jim Edmonds released by the Padres. It's the 15th anniversary of Mark Grace's cycle. He's the last Cubs player to do that. I know that's a rare feat but that seems like a lotta years. DeRosa grounds out to short. Johnson singles to center. Mike Fontenot, who wears Grace's No. 17, hits for Lilly, who had quite a game: Seven innings, three hits, one run, 10 strikeouts and an RBI single to tie the game. Fontenot flies out to center on the first pitch and Grace curses his name. I'm kidding! Soriano grounds into a fielder's choice to end the seventh. Cubs fans everywhere curse that.
Cubs 2, D'backs 1
Eighth inning
Carlos Marmol to start the eighth will face former Cubs lovable mascot turned hated Cubs playoff killer Augie Ojeda and Ojeda singles to right on the first pitch. That ball was hit towards the line and Fukudome made a nice play to get over there and prevent the double. Byrnes strikes out and Ojeda swipes second. But home plate umpire Ted Barrett calls Ojeda out because Byrnes interferred with Soto's throw to second. His backswing got a piece of Soto. Big double play there for the Cubs. Drew flies out to Fukudome in shallow right and that inning changed quickly.
Juan Cruz comes on to pitch for Arizona and will face Theriot. Kerry Wood up in the pen. Theriot takes a called third on the outside corner. Lee rips one to the third row in left-center. Ramirez draws a walk. Brenly says Juan Cruz is listed in the Arizona media guide as 6-2, 145. 145? Fukudome singles through the hole on the right side. Ramirez stops at second. Soto looks at a fastball right down the middle for strike three. DeRosa draws a two-out walk to load the bases. Pitching coach Bryan Price and the entire Arizona infield converge on the mound. With the bases full of teammates, Johnson falls behind 1-2. Johnson patiently waits for a pitch and works the count full. Everyone on their feet, runners go and ... Johnson strikes out swinging.
Cubs 3, D'backs 1
Young, Jackson and Upton in the ninth for Wood, looking for his sixth save. Felix Pie comes in to play center for Johnson. Soriano remains in left. Wood starts Young off with two sliders for strikes. Young can't catch up with a fastball away and that's strike three. Jackson grounds out to short for the second out. Wood's working fast and throwing nothing but strikes. He's ahead of Upton 0-2. Upton grounds out to short and that does it.
Final: Cubs 3, D'backs 1
Ted Lilly throws a gem. He made the one mistake to Young in the first but was solid after that. The bullpen held up their end of the deal and the Cubs take the first game of the series. Thanks for reading everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Women's Eagles roster announced for double header opener
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Whoever wins the third and final match between the Women's Eagles and France will walk away as winners of the series. Each side winning a match while at Oxnard College puts all the emphasis on the game at the Home Depot Center Friday at 5:00 P.M. PT.
The Women's Eagles have selected the roster to best fit that task.
"All of the players carry a great deal of experience and passion into this match, so it will be a fun game to watch," said Head Coach Pete Steinberg.
The Eagles enter the match with an identical record it had heading into the final match of its European tour in November. France defeated the Women's Eagles in decided fashion, 27-3 in front of its home crowd.
All but four of the listed starters received caps during the test at Stade de France.
"The crowd France had for the final game [in November] was impressive and definitely made a difference for them and I'm hoping we get the same advantage on Friday," said Steinberg.
More than 20,000 fans watched the test in Paris last fall.
"The Stade was awesome to play in. There is such a different atmosphere when playing in such a huge stadium and I can't wait to get that feeling again," said Meya Bizer, who will be getter her third start in as many games. Bizer gets her fifth consecutive start for the Eagles, slotting in at fullback.
"Most of all, I'm looking forward to playing on our turf this time, not theirs."
Kickoff for the match is set for 5:00 P.M. PT at the Home Depot Center campus.
The Eagles' test will take place prior to the Men's Eagles' Pacific Nations Cup match against Tonga. The Men's Eagles' match will kick off at 7:30 P.M. PT.
Universal Sports is scheduled to air both matches played in Carson, Calif. Each match will be aired live, with the Women's Eagles match being shown at 5:00 P.M. PT (8:00 P.M. ET).
Sharon Blaney and Sarah Chobot will look to continue their try-scoring ways for the final match. Blaney accounted for two tries in the second contest against Les Bleus, while Chobot scored the game-winning try in the opening match.
Sadie Anderson, in her third start of the series, has accounted for 18 of the Women's Eagles' 38 overall points. The starting flyhalf connected on four penalty goals and two conversions in the previous matches.
Coming off of an upper-body injury, Katy Augustyn will step in as hooker, replacing Kittery Wagner. Wagner started the previous two matches against the French. The start for Augustyn is the first said honor of the series.
On her way to becoming the most-capped player in Women's Eagles history, Jamie Burke gets her 38th cap with the start at prop.
In the opening matches against Les Bleus, the Women's Eagles have put together two electric second halves, with one of the performances being enough for a comeback victory. A late try from Chobot helped in claiming the first match 13-10. Another late flurry of scoring from the Eagles fell just shy in the second, with France winning 27-25.
The victory over France is the first such win in Women's Eagles history.
Although the goal is to improve with each match, Steinberg notes that his squad needs to "do a better job of learning from game to game." The final match will be the team's final preparation match before heading to the Nations Cup.
The Women's Eagles will compete in four matches while at the Nations Cup. Canada, England, France and South Africa round out the field for the August competitions.
The University of Northern Colorado will host the Nations Cup in Greeley, Colo.

Press Reporter
The role of a General Plan Update stakeholders group is continuing to gain definition, as its representatives have said that workloads will probably be streamlined and a facilitator may be hired to guide their meetings.
The ad hoc group is working with the Board of Supervisors to review the Planning Commission's draft of the update. Formed last November, the group has just finished its first piece of work, editing policies in the update's relatively non-controversial Circulation Element.
The group's future has been described as uncertain but at a Jan. 14 update hearing, Bob Higgons, one of its representatives, told supervisors that most of its members want to work on other elements.
Fourteen elements remain but Higgons said the group is considering a focus on the controversial ones and insight's been gained from what's been done so far.
"We're learning each other's thinking patterns, we're learning how to operate within a collaborative process – that took a little bit of time," he said, adding that the "learning curve is not as steep" now.
"I think that means that future element review could go faster," said Higgons.
Supervisors strongly encouraged the group to continue its work, with Supervisor Estelle Fennell describing it as "invaluable" and Supervisor Virginia Bass crediting it for being a "refinement of the process."
Board Chairman Ryan Sundberg also praised the group and said he'd heard that it's seeking help with administration of its meetings. Connie Stewart of the California Center for Rural Policy (CCRP) is a leading member of the group and she said that no public funding or help from the county is being sought.
Stewart's agency and the Humboldt Area Foundation (HAF) have been involved in moderating the ad hoc group's meetings but a private facilitator seems to be needed. "At the pace we're going, it's been hard for HAF and CCRP to keep up," Stewart said. "We'll figure out how to bring somebody else in and figure out, privately, how to raise the funding for it."
One challenge is determining "who the group will feel comfortable with, having as an additional facilitator," said Stewart.
After supervisors reviewed some of the group's recommendations and planning staff's comments on them, they asked Jen Rice of the HAF, another stakeholders representative, about scheduling future hearings.
Rice said the group supports moving at "a clip," and future work will be tailored to the board's bi-weekly update hearing schedule. Controversial elements will be prioritized, she added, "So it may be that there are some elements that we don't need to take time to address."
Winnowing the workload will give the group time to "get into a click with staff," said Rice, as rushing to keep pace on the Circulation Element "wasn't optimal for anyone."
The goal is to enhance communication with staff and "give everyone more lead time, public and board, for review," Rice continued.
The ad hoc group's main recommendations for the Circulation Element include creation of a countywide transportation plan outside of the update and adjusting roadway and transportation infrastructure design to neighborhood standards.
Other circulation policies aim to reduce auto congestion by locating residential and commercial areas close to each other and increasing public transit opportunities.
Supervisors will hold the next update hearing on Jan. 28, to continue work on the Circulation Element and possibly begin work on the Economic Development section.

Grape seed oil has been well known to massage therapists for many years as a natural oil to use on the skin. Although it is not the perfect oil to use for aromatherapy massage, it is a fantastic oil because it has such amazing moisturizing benefits.
This powerful oil has recently come further into the limelight as an effective skin moisturizer because the American actress Emma Stone stated in her Style.com interview that she only uses grapeseed oil on her skin as she's 'seriously allergic to anything else'.
Emma Stone has also now become the global brand ambassador for the makeup and beauty brand Revlon.
Having recently had movie success in The Help and now starring in the new film The Amazing Spider Man, Emma has really come into the spotlight and seems like the ideal advocate for natural skin care products.
If it's good enough for Emma Stone then it's good enough for us.
Grape seed oil is good for all skin types but especially helpful for people with rosacea and here's why…
Cold pressed grape seed oil has been used for centuries. The medicinal benefits from the leaves, stems and seeds have been known to help treat a huge number of skin care and circulatory issues including varicose veins, spider veins, haemorrhoids and rosacea.
Grapeseed oil contains;
Polyphenols (antioxidents) – Fights free radicals which helps to keep pores clear and prevents breakouts
Linoleic acid (CLA) – Boosts the activity of skin cells and provides proteins which help provide elasticity to the skin
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) – Boosts the growth of cells and blood vessels, aids skin repair; helps to provide skin with strength, firmness and protect from UV rays.
Grape seed oil also contains vitamin E which is an excellent skin moisturiser which helps to lock moisture into the skin.
The oil absorbs very quickly into the skin which makes it an ideal natural skin care product for all skin types because it is naturally hypoallergenic.

GREENCASTLE — One half-inning turned a tight contest into a run-rule shortened rout.
After Waynesboro established an early 2-0 lead, Greencastle seemingly settled in during Monday's Franklin County American Legion League baseball game at Jerome King Playground, maintaining the slim deficit entering the fourth.
Unfortunately for the hosts, it quickly became clear why Post 15 currently resides atop the FCALL standings.
Behind five hits, three walks and two Greencastle errors, Waynesboro erupted for nine runs in the top of the fourth, ultimately resulting in an 11-1 victory at the conclusion of five innings.
The insurance was more than enough for Post 15 ace Dylan Bryan, who scattered five hits and struck out two en route to the pitching win.
A leadoff walk and stolen base by Sawyer Duffey abruptly had Waynesboro (12-3, 9-3 FCALL) threatening in the top of the first, with an RBI single from Alex Cline accounting for the game's first run.
An infield hit by Cole Warrenfeltz ensued before a fielder's choice moved Cline to third, setting up an RBI groundout from John Barr, granting Post 15 a 2-0 advantage.
Despite first-inning singles from Holden Baker and Josh Young along with getting a runner to third base in the second, Greencastle (3-7, 3-7 FCALL) failed to break through, setting the stage for Waynesboro to blow things open in the fourth.
Tim Ingram's double to right-center sparked the decisive frame before a single by Justin Freeman and a walk to Cline loaded the bases with two outs. Warrenfeltz then drew another free pass, pushing across Ingram prior to Ben Weber sending a two-run single to center, extending Waynesboro's lead to five.
Consecutive errors committed by Post 373 granted Waynesboro a 7-0 margin, with a two-RBI base knock from Seth Hoffman increasing it to nine.
Still with two outs, Freeman's second at-bat of the inning highlighted the scoring barrage, with the No. 9-hole hitter launching a triple over the head of the right fielder, plating Ingram and Hoffman for a 11-0 lead.
Greencastle did manage to get on the board in the home half, as a walk to Justin Hovey and a base knock by Jesse Beeler set up an RBI single from Adam Moore, eventually culminating into the 11-1 final after neither side scored in the fifth.
For the game, Cline, Weber, Hoffman and Freeman each accounted for two of Waynesboro's 11 total hits.
Baker's pair of singles led Greencastle offensively with Beeler being credited with the loss on the mound despite only allowing four earned runs.
Both teams will be back in action tonight, as Waynesboro travels to St. Thomas while Greencastle hosts McConnellsburg.

Molotschna Home for the Aged
The Molotschna Home for the Aged, located on the Kurushan River in the Molotschna Mennonite settlement, South Russia, was started on 90 acres of community land owned by the Halbstadt volost (district) in 1903 as a centennial monument to the founding of the Molotschna settlement. The land was donated, and the capital for the building of a 40,000 ruble structure was raised through assessment. The large modern brick building opened in 1906 was equipped to house 50 guests, but was to be enlarged to accommodate 100. The charges for the guests per person were 10 rubles per month. The cost of maintenance for 50 guests amounted to 6,000 rubles per year. The home was managed by a committee of which Elder A. Görz was the chairman in 1910. Among those who served as house parents were Mr. and Mrs. J. Epp and F. Willms.

Maple Leafs blank Senators
Ottawa, ON – Nazem Kadri netted his second hat trick of the season and Joffrey Lupul added a goal and three assists as the Toronto Maple Leafs posted a 4-0 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
James Reimer stopped 31 shots for his second shutout of the season while Kadri also had an assist for a four-point game for the Maple Leafs, who have won four of their past five games.
Lupul was playing in his sixth game since missing most of the season with a broken forearm and he has notched at least a goal in all six of those games. During the run, he has posted eight goals and five assists.
"It's really easy to play with him because he's always in the right place at the right time," said Kadri about Lupul. "We've been working really well together and it's been fun here."
Ben Bishop was victimized for all four goals on 23 shots in the loss for the Senators, who came into the game having won six of their last seven.
"We had way too many giveaways tonight," said Ottawa head coach Paul MacLean. "Two of them were in front of the net and you can't keep asking your goaltender to make those saves. That's what lost us the game."
Both Ottawa and Toronto have 44 points on the season and are tied for the fifth and sixth playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
Toronto scored on the power play just 3:03 into the game after Kadri sent a hard pass from the right point to the low right side where Lupul was for a redirect into the net.
It was a 2-0 game in the Maple Leafs' favor with 7:15 to play in the middle stanza. On a delayed penalty to Ottawa, John-Michael Liles blasted a shot from the high slot that hit off of Lupul's leg in front and went to the right where Kadri slammed it home.
Kadri scored twice in just over a two-minute span of the third period to help the Maple Leafs take control.
The first goal came at the 2:44 mark as Lupul was all alone with the puck in the slot and gave a shoulder dip before passing it over to his left where Kadri was all alone for the easy goal.
A bit later, Lupul again set up his linemate as his pass from the left circle to the slot saw Kadri snap it in for his 17th goal of the season.
Game Notes

D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure Review
Storage comes in many different formats these days, from flash drives you can carry around in your pocket to massive enterprise storage area network arrays. As our lives become more media-centric, so does our need to have a repository for all those movies, photos and music files. There are many options for increasing storage space, from buying additional and larger internal drives for your computer to adding external drive enclosures. Often though, just having plenty of room to squirrel away all your digital goodies isn't the best solution. After all, what's the point of having all those media files if you can't share them with other devices on your network or even other users across the Internet?
The solution to that problem is a network attached storage (NAS) appliance. Although originally intended for enterprise class storage applications, NAS devices have evolved to the point where they are relatively compact and easy to manage and perfectly suited for SOHO and home networks. NAS units contain disk drives and connect to your network using an Ethernet cable allowing that storage to be accessed by anyone on the network. More than just a box to hold hard drives, NAS devices are miniature servers in themselves, generally running some form of embedded Linux and offering a wide range of features.
The D-Link DNS-323 is a two-bay NAS device capable of holding two SATA drives in a space not much larger than three paperback books stacked together. But don't let its small size fool you. The DNS-323 has many features normally found on units twice its size. But can this little box deliver when it comes to features and performance? There's only one way to find out!
Closer Look:
The review unit showed up in a sturdy cardboard box that arrived relatively unscathed. Opening the box up showed the DNS-323 nestled snuggly next to two separate boxes each containing a hard drive. The shipping box was obviously designed for just this purpose because the fit was so good, no additional packaging material was required. The actual box containing the DNS-323 displays the normal marketing information with a picture of the unit on the front of the box and the rear of the box depicting the functionality and how it might fit in to a normal home network. The ends of the box are used to list the features of the DNS-323 and the package contents and system requirements. No hard drives are included in the box.
Opening the box shows the protective molded cardboard cap protecting the top of the unit. Under that, the NAS box itself is wrapped in protective plastic and sitting in a second cardboard form. Stowed beneath the bottom tray are all the accessories including a power cord, the external power supply, a Cat-5e Ethernet cable along with a quick installation guide and a CD containing a full version of the user manual, the Easy Search setup utility and a copy of the Memeo backup software.
Extracting the DNS-323 from the box reveals a fairly compact unit that is surprising sturdy and well built. Except for the front cover, the enclosure is all metal with a matte black finish. The front panel sports a vinyl sticker with instructions on how to remove the cover to gain access to the internal drive bays and is easily removed (no sticky residue here). The front cover itself is heavy plastic that simply snaps onto the enclosure. There is a square power button in the middle sporting the D-Link logo and is backlit around the edges with a blue LED. Three more blue LED indicators grace the front panel along the bottom edge – a hard drive icon for each of the two drives to indicate drive status and activity and a center icon for network status and activity. The back of the unit has two drive ejection levers on the outboard sides with a 40mm cooling fan in the middle. Along the bottom from left to right we see the power connection, the RJ45 network connection socket and a USB 2.0 connection. Flipping the unit on its side to have a look at the bottom of the case, you'll notice that instead of feet at each corner, the DNS-323 has two rubber rails running the length of the case and a graphic describing the functions of the back panel.
Next, we need to install a pair of hard drives and configure the DNS-323 so we can see how well this unit performs.

Every morning while you go to Starbucks to get coffee
I be at the bank like, get this cash off me
My car so new, but my money so old
My grill iced out, so my barbecue's cold
3-2-1: blast off, you bastards
Spaceship doors, my garage is NASA
Hedgehog game: I am much faster
You are a lizard, I am a raptor
When I hit the club or the stage, I party hard
Witness hoes naked, like everyday was Mardi Gras
See, I'm 17, and I have an accountant
You're 17, but you get an allowance
When I see pussy... I'm poundin'
What else would you expect from Tha Joker, clowning
Bankin' over here, what you want to drink honey
Blow stacks so it's like I give head to my money
I'm a studio geek, Urkel, Ned Flanders
Car sits low, chameleon salmander
Joker beats, lock up sell 3
White girl trunk stand Marshall Mathers LP
Even my haters, secretly they felt me
Last name West, there's nothing you can tell me
I am super sexy in my white tee or my wife b
Burn so many trees, Smokey Bear doesn't like me
Let's be honest, who really wanna fight me?
You can throw balls but I bet you won't strike me
Look into that future, see me in that Bentley
Check my bank account: don't I have plenty?
My hoes won't hump you, they're so stingy
I would acknowledge you, but I'm not friendly
Boys N The Hood flow, South Central rhyme
Godfather delivery, Scarface mind
Basically what I'm saying is I'm one of a kind
If you thinkin' 'bout battling me, ya thinkin' 'bout dyin'
Fakes, phony, please stop trying
I parade my gangster, what are you implying?
She can feel my bone all on her spine
Orgasm, back spasms: she straight crying
I fuck with ladies, I won't even watch whores
Don't shake hands, cause you prolly didn't wash yours
This shit is easy, I could do it in my slumber
And I make so much money, I should have a PIN number
Dumb and Dumber; where is your hunger?
Veggie eating bitch, here's my cucumber
Close your mouth, listen to me thunder
I am a pirate, I'm throwing my plunder
Black Pearl gangster, south side legend
You gonna need a notebook for all these lessons
Teacher, preacher, deacon, reverend
Whole damn Kenmore in my bezzle
I am the greatest there will ever be
Me to the rap game, is like fatback to peas
Chopper, semi, cocking, blasting
I flip birds: bluejay gymnastics
Street cred test? I motherfuckin' passed it
At least 20 grand in one of these elastics
I really don't like when haters throw sodium
I am the shit, please pass the Imodium

How do you get bed bugs and how do you get rid of them?
The increase in bed bug infestations in the U.S. is a result of increased travel, lack of knowledge about preventing infestations, increased resistance of bed bugs to pesticides, and ineffective pest control practices, explains the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It's easy to mistake bed bugs for carpet beetles or similar-looking bugs, so infestations are often not noticed when they first occur. Prevention tips include keeping areas free of clutter, regularly washing sheets and mattress covers in hot water (and don't forget to wash the laundry bag, too), and vacuuming regularly and safely disposing of the sealed vacuum bag. Not everyone has reactions to bed bug bites, which also may be mistaken for the bites of other pests such as mosquitoes, so timely bed bug extermination depends on identification of bed bug activity. If you notice physical signs of an infestation, contact a bed bug extermination professional as soon as possible to learn about chemical and non-chemical (such as heat) treatment options. An integrated pest management plan may incorporate one or more methods.
What do pest control companies do?
Pest control companies handle all aspects of bug, rodent and animal extermination or removal. Pest control professionals visit your home or office to identify the type of pest that is troubling you and offer various treatment plans — complete with clearly outlined costs. Once you and the pest control company have a signed agreement, the pro will begin treatment. Pest treatment can range from the use of spray pesticides and gel bait to live and/or kill traps. There are a wide range of types of pesticides, many of them nontoxic for humans and other small animals. This means you may be able to have your home treated for pests without harming nearby wildlife or your dog and cat. The pest control pro will carry out the treatment plan and, depending on the service agreement, provide follow-up such as emptying traps, inspecting access points, or reapplying pesticide spray if the pests return. Costs will vary based on the type of pest you are having removed and the extent of the infestation.The average national pest control price range is $80-$130. From a minor bedbug event to an entire home termite infestation, pest control companies have got you covered.
How do you get rid of termites?
The best way to get rid of termites is to act fast. Termites are a problem that will only get worse — and no matter how much you want them to, they usually don't magically move out on their own. There are three main types of termites: drywood, dampwood and subterranean. Drywood and dampwood termites sneak through cracks in your exterior paint, nail holes, and gaps near windows and other openings and begin to eat through your wood. Subterranean termites enter your house from the ground up by creating mud tunnels. In all cases, they survive by eating the wood of your house. The type of termites you have can steer the treatment plan.
Methods of termite extermination include fumigation, use of pesticides, and use of natural elements that are poisonous to the bugs. The extent of your termite infestation will help determine the treatment method. If you have drywood or dampwood termites that have infiltrated all aspects of the wood in your home, the pest control pro may recommend enclosing the whole house in a tent and gassing the termites via fumigation. If you have subterranean termites, often the entire footprint of the home must be treated by drilling liquid treatments into the slab or foundation of the home to exterminate the colonies. In any case, once you see signs of termites, it's time to take action and call a pest pro.
How much does it cost to remove a mouse?
If you have a mouse in your house you're probably quickly researching pest control costs. Mice, although tiny, can transmit diseases and also get into your food and leave unsanitary droppings around your home. If you have seen one mouse in your house, it's likely that more have taken up residence in your crawl space, attic or basement.The national average pest control cost is $150-$200. Costs can vary depending on whether you need to get rid of a population of living mice or just dispose of a dead mouse (or full traps), how extensive the mouse population is, and where you live in the country. Here are some examples of average pest control cost for removing a mouse:
- $150 for initial trap setup and inspection (and sealing of entry holes).
- $50 for rodent removal service calls and emptying of traps. This visit can also include identifying and sealing entry points that were not sealed on the first visit.
- Rodent extermination: $110-$350, depending on how heavy the rodent population is, whether the mouse infestation poses health risks, how many entrances exist and how many rodent bait stations are needed.
How much does it cost to kill bed bugs?
The cost of bed bug extermination depends primarily on how widespread the pest infestation is and how many rooms need to be treated. Other factors that can affect bed bug extermination costs are the amount of clutter in the location, additional furniture that needs to be treated, and construction of the home. Pest management professionals often have rates for room treatments, which can vary based on these factors. As an example, a pest management company treating a 10-by-15-foot room with light infestation might charge clients about $250, while the same size room with a heavy infestation and large amounts of clutter might cost the clients $300-$400. Clutter and heavier bed bug populations mean more product and longer labor time for the workers. Rates will vary from company to company, and from region to region, but the national average bed bug extermination cost is $320-$400. Bed bug heat treatments are an alternative way to exterminate these pests. Heat treatments are typically charged per square foot and tend to cost more than chemical or non-chemical spray solutions. Although effective, they are not usually recommended for occupied spaces, as the extreme temperatures can damage televisions, window dressings and other home furnishings.

POOLER, GA. - The Coker College women's golf team shot a second round 347 (+59) at the Armstrong Pirate Women's Invitational. Their two round total of 690 (+114) landed them a 12th place finish.
Temperatures in the 40's and wind chills around freezing made scoring difficult on the second day as only two teams were able to better their first day score.
Senior Krista Thorpe and junior Mallory Thompkins both shot a two round total of 170 (+26) to lead the way for the Cobras. Sophomore Taylor Demby came in next with a score of 171 (+27), while freshman Amber Harman and Taylor Gaskins rounded out the starting five for the Navy and Yellow posing two day totals of 180 (+36) and 184 (+40) respectively.
Host Armstrong Atlantic State University took home the team title with a 36 hole total of 619 (+43), edging Flagler College by just four strokes. Armstrong Atlantic's Kiley Mettler took home the individual title with a two round total of 149 (+5).
The ladies take a short break and then hit the road again on March 10, as they head to Hilton Head, S.C. for the Hilton Head Lakes Invitational.

Napoli have clinched the signing of Siena forward Emanuele Calaio on loan until the end of the season.
The 31-year-old becomes the second Partenopei arrival in a matter of days, following in the footsteps of Colombian wing-back Pablo Armero earlier in the week.
He will initially ply his trade at the San Paolo on a temporary basis for the next six months, but the southern Italian club have the option to make his stay permanent in the summer.
Walter Mazzarri's side are understood to have beaten Torino and Palermo to Calaio's signature, and his arrival is expected to speed up Eduardo Vargas' return to South America.
The Sicily-born hitman originally joined Napoli in the 2004-2005 season and went onto score 44 goals in 128 appearances before falling out of favour and joining Siena three years later.
However, he regained his form at the Artemio Franchi, netting a further 50 times during his spell in Tuscany, and will now likely serve as Edinson Cavani's deputy.

I had a heart shaped cookie request for this weeks cookie. Ugh. I guess my children haven't realized I don't really like doing the whole cookie cutter thing.
Then I remembered that the barefoot contessa has a shortbread recipe, that I made in the past, where the dough is just right for cutting. You know, doesn't get misshaped moving it from where you cut it, to the cookie sheet.
In her cookbook, she dips half of the heart in chocolate. Really, really delicious and pretty. I think a stack of those wrapped in a cellophane bag, tied with a ribbon, would make a really lovely little gift. Just a thought.

yes, cookies dipped in chocolate are always good!ReplyDelete
looking forward to the sweater shot. enjoy the weekend!
I love that shortbread recipe! Can't wait to see your cardigan :)ReplyDelete
There is always the joy of eating those scraps of dough that don't quite make it into the cookies, no matter how many times to scrunch and reroll... I'm old school, I'm not afraid to eat a little raw cookie dough, and may actually prefer it that way sometimes, I'm just sayin'...ReplyDelete
I've got some sugar cookie dough to use up before we have to go gluten free around here (yikes!) so I'd better make the most of enjoying the process this weekend!
I'm sure the sweater turned out great, can't wait to see the pics, well, okay, I can wait, I've working on patience, and I have absolutely no control over when I get to see it, so, yeah, I can wait, but hurry up, okay?
Happy knitting-

Thank you so much for posting this recipe! My work is hosting a bake sale next week (how cute is that!) for a coworker with cancer, and I want to bring something Valentine's Day-related, but I also hate dealing with sugar cookie dough. I do love shortbread though! Thanks again - have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
Sweet cookies - I hope the sweater does fit!ReplyDelete
Yum! We were just discussing heart cookies today. I think I'll try these. You can't go wrong with that much butter.ReplyDelete
Ooh great idea. I picked up this giant lip shaped cookie cutter this year and I think I might try that recipe (although Gluten free as my daughter and I are Celiac) with the lip cookie cutter where the upper or lower lip are dipped in chocolate.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the inspiration.
heart shaped cookies are cool. I think I am making those for Chicken's valentines this year!ReplyDelete
the cardigan is gorgeous and the cookies look really yummy!ReplyDelete
Hearts dipped in chocolate - does it get any better than that?ReplyDelete
what a beautiful post: cookies and mention of a blocking sweater. can't wait to see more!ReplyDelete
the cookies look delish. i'm sure the sweater does as well.ReplyDelete
Oh yum! I can't tell you how thankful I am for all your Heart posts. You have me seriously motivated and I am cutting out little felt hearts right now instead of the night before Valentines ;)ReplyDelete
Ina Garten has a few "no fail" recipes for cookies. Yours look delish! I know what you mean about the blocking/stretching - just finished the same technique on a cardi I made for a friend. Hope it works out!ReplyDelete
Ina to the rescue--I love her!ReplyDelete
Shortbread sounds delicious, and I love the heart-shaped platter you're using! My go-to recipe for cookie cutter cookies is the Joy of Cooking sugar drop cookies with oil. Not the best name but the cookies are delicious. They're meant to be a drop cookie but the dough rolls very easily and they work very well with the cutters.ReplyDelete
thanks for the recipe leslie!ReplyDelete
they are/were delish!
Fingers crossed for you!ReplyDelete
The pictures really make me want to try it! I have a cookie cutter like that, only it is a star. I think that it is my great-grandma's. They look yummy!ReplyDelete
I have made a ton of heart-shaped decorated cookies (lots of royal icing in my condo) in the last couple of weeks. I have one more batch to go, but I admit that I'm looking forward to a less demanding cookie project no matter how tasty it is.ReplyDelete
Please inform me it labored right? I dont want to sumit it once more if i should not have to! Either the weblog glitced out or i am an idiot, the second option doesnt shock me lol. thanks for an amazing blog! Anyway, in my language, there are usually not a lot good supply like this.ReplyDelete

Mac GammaJanuary 14, 2004
One thing I'm noticing is that colour profiles are crucial when working in Mac Photoshop, even if the final product is meant for on-screen display.
A long-time trick/crutch of mine on Windows was the screen capture. Alt + PrntScrn grabs a shot of the active window to the clipboard, which is easily pastable to a Photoshop canvas. I never even thought about it, I just did, and I did a lot.
Because the Mac handles screenshots a little bit differently (Cmd + Shift + 4 dumps a user-defined area to a PDF file, instead of the clipboard) I've had to start importing the screenshot instead of pasting it. This involves a dialogue asking if I want to save or discard the colour profile attached to the document.
I'm getting hung up on this is when I can't remember which instances require using the embedded profile, and which involve converting to the working space. I've configured my default working space in Photoshop to 'Color LCD' which seems to keep input and output consistent relatively, but OS X saves each screen shot to 'Generic RGB Profile' which produces a mismatch warning. By discarding the profile attached to the file and just using my default colour space, I'm theoretically working with the raw pixels, non-corrected.
I'm still not confident I've got it though. Above is a shot taken as I was struggling to figure out which settings keep the colour consistent. The blues on the top are warmer, almost purple compared to the blues on the bottom. The top shot half is the screen shot, the bottom is the actual dock. Subtle difference, but this can be a big deal when you're dithering for transparency and colour-matching. Consistency is really important.
It strikes me as rather odd, though, that working solely with on-screen imagery requires such juggling of colour modes. Especially when I never had to think about it on Windows.
update: Brian Warren points out that Cmd + Ctrl + Shift + 4 copies the screen shot to the clipboard instead of dumping it to a file. Pasting that into an open document seems to alleviate any profile matching problems with screen shots. Excellent!
Reader Comments
Try Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4 - that gives the selection straight to your clipboard - makes it simpler.
Well that solves the screen cap problem nicely, and I don't even have to clean up the PDFs littering my desktop after. Thanks Brian!
The original concern still stands when working with PSDs cross-platform, or opening specific image files. I'm running into color profile warnings far more frequently on OS X.
Im switching to Mac at work in just under 7 days. Articles like this one gives me valuable insight into some of the minor differences that will impact my work.
Thanks for a great pointer regarding colour profiles and Photoshop!
I run into the same color profile problems when working with screenshots in OS X. Every time I see that dialog box I mean to go searching for a fix… but never do.
So with this comment I offer nothing. Except for relaying the comfort that you are not alone. I'll be curiously watching this thread…
You're quite welcome - and there are a bunch more (), but the problem stands, I agree. I believe it might have to do with the fact that Quartz (mac os x video engine) uses PDF to display everything it shows you - which is why it's so easy to scale everything, and print anything as a PDF. But also it means that everything you get has some kind of color profile associated with it - it must attach your colorsync profile to screenshots it saves or something along those lines.
Indeed - as I used cmd+shift+4 to get the pdf on my desktop - when I opened it in photoshop it asked if I wanted to use the embedded color profile (in this case, i had "ProTFT 17 Hyp" - the default for this display)
I investigated a bit and if you go to your utilities folder and nose around there there's the colorsync utility - and it has an option to "specify default profiles… to be used when a document does not contain embedded profiles". Now I dont do a whole lot of cross-platform work but that might be what's happening. Maybe not.
sorry - meant to include a link there in those ()
For more screenshot options than you ever would need….
Additionally, those of you who are used to hitting Command-Shift-3 for the last 15 years to capture your screen can go into the Keyboard Shortcuts Control Panel of Panther and remap Command-Shift-Control-4 (the most useful of the four screen capture commands) to Command-Shift-3.
As for color profile matching, if you only work in web graphics and never deal with calibration for printing presses, go to your File > Color Settings menu in Photoshop and set it to "Emulate Photoshop 4" mode. This effectively renders documents in Photoshop as they would render in any other application. It basically disables all the fancy color-profiling stuff that is great for print but not suitable for web.
Sorry, that's the "Photoshop > Color Settings" menu. I'm still trying to shake OS 9 conventions even after having ditched it two years ago.
This problem also largely stems from Photoshop's RGB color management. Long about PS version 5, Adobe decided to make sRGB (developed by or for Microsoft) the standard RGB color space, since the web was becoming big, and "Wouldn't it be great if everything you saw in Photoshop looked exactly the same as the rest of the world sees it in Internet Explorer on Windows."
The huge problem is that the sRGB profile, created for Windows, is actually very limited as RGB profiles go. This stems from the fact that because most PC monitors back in the day were cheap, and the Windows default Gamma is about 15 percent less bright than that on a Mac. sRGB is simply a gimp color profile built for a lesser (read: consumer) monitor.
All that said, when Adobe made sRGB the standard, it hacked off a ton of Mac designers who preferred working in the truer color space. Unfortunately, this was dangerous to do, because if you shared your files with someone who didn't know this, they'd totally kill the color on your RGB image.
Consequently, the Mac default gamma remains it usual bright self, while Photoshop more or less "simulates" the gamma on a Windows box with sRGB.
There are some workarounds, and I myself have been dealing with this issue this week. I'll see if I find anything else.
The other cure is to shut Photoshop's color matching off all together. Set the color management policies to "Off" for RGB, CMYK and Gray images in the Color Settings dialog. (I also shut off the embedded profile warnings.)
I had to do this to keep colors from chaging when pasting back and forth between Photoshop and Illustrator.
Not entirely related, but I find the application ImageWell to be very handy for uploading annotated screenshots for reference with others.
It's not so handy when *I* need the screenshot internally (to this machine) but it's great for sending screenshots to others.
I would argue that the sRGB is a much better choice for a Photoshop working space than the monitor's profile. Remember that even prosumer digital cameras like the Powershot S45 embed (via EXIF data) the sRGB profile – it's more than adequate unless your a pro photographer, in which case Adobe RGB (1998) is the winner.
This is the best discussion of profiles and color spaces, and all those frightening Photoshop settings I've seen on the web:
I use the ColorSync settings, which works fairly well as long as I'm awake. ;-)
Don't forget to make sure you have the right profile set for your display, which is set in the Colour tab of the Displays preferences. Some really weird things can happen otherwise.
Probably covered in one of the links above, but one of the shortcuts I've been using a lot recently takes a screenshot of any open window you specify:
Hit the typical Cmd-Ctrl-Shift-4 to start the process (cursor turns into a crosshair)
Then hit the spacebar.
Wallah! The cursor turns into a camera, allowing you to select any open window currently in view. You can even capture a full window that's sitting behind others this way (and the window you select doesn't even have to be in the foreground application). It's a bitchin way to remain in Photoshop while getting screenshots of some other application window in the background. Also saves needing to crop the window once its pasted into Photoshop.
And on color profiles, I'm with John Phillips: turn them off completely. It will save a lot of headaches. It's the first thing I've done each time I've installed Photoshop for the last few versions. They're not really needed unless you're doing hi-res print work and trying to match precise colors. And the defaults will certainly screw you up if you're doing web work and taking screen caps.
The Adobe 1998 profile is by far the best and most practical (other than turning them off).
Complete agreement with all who have said such.
In addition to the command+shift+4 to grab a screen shot of any region, and the space toggle to grab a selected window, try holding the control key as you finish your selection. That will take the screenshot to the clipboard rather than to a file. Then, just paste into whatever you want…
I do command+shift+4 (drag region) control (release mouse button) and wind up with a selected region of the screen in my clipboard. Timesaver, and fewer .pdfs to delete…
doh. didn't read comments before posting. sorry for the dupe.
I'm the picture editor for the a 'public service broadcast in the UK' and had a ding dong with the my writers the other day about this. None of 'em had calibrated their monitor, and none of 'em knew what sRGB was.
Most users don't know or care, still, I guess we should.
about the original tpoic, holding down all four keys is quite hard, You can hold shift+command+4 to bring up the crosshairs, then let go, then simply hold down alt and marquee an area I think.. in panther at least
Doug- that actually works for any element on your display - such as the dock, the menu bar (oddly enough - the shadow for the menu bar as a separate item), the desktop and icons on the desktop too. Pretty wild feature the spacebar camera thing.
Since Photoshop changed profile and the Mac gained Colorsync, i've been confuse.
What I usually do is use the Adobe 1998 profile but sometimes that cause problem between Photoshop and ImageReady. Just make sure you use the same setting between the two.
There is a problem using non-uniform workspaces for editing images. In a workspace like Adobe RGB or sRGB a color with equal amounts of red, green, and blue will always be a shade of gray. Not true of non-uniform spaces such as Color LCD.
Also rendering intent for conversions can be important. If relative colorimetric produces unexpected results, then try perceptual. And visa versa.
Working in Adob RGB and converting to sRGB at the very last before uploading to a server seems the best color pipeline IMHO. After converting to sRGB save the image without a profile. Color savvy browsers assume any untagged image to be sRGB anyway so there is no point in saving your image tagged.
Another important thing is to go to the Apple colorsync preferences panel and set CMM to Apple CMM. This will not affect Photoshop which has it's own color engine. It may however eliminate the weird and unpredictable mismatches the result from letting each profile pick a different color engine. This is the only sane setting "Apple CMM."
'Color Management' by Bruce Fraser et all is worth picking up at your bookstore. It provides software specific information.
Quotes taken from various comments, not all from the same person.
"It strikes me as rather odd, though, that working solely with on-screen imagery requires such juggling of colour modes. Especially when I never had to think about it on Windows."
If you never worried about what the colors looked from one monitor to the next, then yes, you probably never worried about the color consistency issue. 8^)
The point is that there was always a problem long in the past, it's just that most people didn't bother with the fact the blue looked fine on their monitor, but slightly purple on a different monitor. If you use your monitor as the only point of reference for the color and don't care about other displays, then you have no worries.
"The huge problem is that the sRGB profile, created for Windows, is actually very limited as RGB profiles go."
A bit of history here is that sRGB was developed as a general profile that represented the color gamut that could be displayed within most CRT displays. For that history, read this:
It's not a bad idea as a general purpose attempt at providing an RGB space that if used on the client rendering side, would do a reasonable job of making the colors seen appear consistent across different CRT monitors.
There was a LOT of arguing over the default RGB space when Photoshop 5.5 came out. I know. I was in the meetings. It was a difficult choice, as once you add color management to the application at the core, a good thing in the long term for many reasons I won't even begin to go into here, you have to deal with the notion of what to do as the default behavior. We felt for people who knew nothing of color management, sRGB was the best way to go, while the pros who did understand it and had to work with it, would set up their system to their needed workflow anyways.
"sRGB is simply a gimp color profile built for a lesser (read: consumer) monitor…All that said, when Adobe made sRGB the standard, it hacked off a ton of Mac designers who preferred working in the truer color space."
This is simply an uninformed opinion. It ignore any notion of what "color" actually is at the scientific level, and how it is expressed across various media types.
"The other cure is to shut Photoshop�s color matching off all together."
If you do this, you will return to a state where what color you see in your design have no correlation to what colors other people see on their display devices. It becomes a total crapshoot.
Of course, unless you use JPEGs on your website, it mostly can be anyway, But by working in sRGB, people on other machines will have a better chance of seeing the color as you saw it.
"Working in Adob RGB and converting to sRGB at the very last before uploading to a server seems the best color pipeline IMHO. After converting to sRGB save the image without a profile. Color savvy browsers assume any untagged image to be sRGB anyway so there is no point in saving your image tagged."
This seems to make little sense. If you convert an image to sRGB, then save it as untagged, how is that different than just saving it with the tag? Browsers see the profile, and those that do use the tag, those that don't use sRGB.
As a final note, I will say I'm lagging in my own workflow. I work in Adobe RGB, and save most of my graphics in that format, which is why my site can look a bit dark on other machines. I never bothered settingup my work as sRGB for output.
I've just got my blog started, and have spent the majority of my time dealing with MT issues and just getting a blog going. So the color consistency was least on my mind. If you want to learn all there is about color management, read Bruce's book. He's a friend of mine, and the expert on the issue.

CHARLESTON - That dispute over a permit for a planned $35 million Charleston cruise terminal is now before South Carolina's Administrative Law Courts.
Neighborhood and environmental groups have challenged a permit allowing pilings to be pounded into the Cooper River bottom under an old warehouse that the South Carolina State Ports Authority plans to convert into the terminal.
The permit was issued last year by state regulators. Conservation and environmental groups want an administrative judge to either reverse the permit or consider other locations for the terminal.
They say permit review failed to consider the impact of noise, traffic and pollution on the city's historic district. The cruise controversy has also sparked lawsuits in both state and federal courts.
