|Introduction and ASRock Z77 OC Formula
|We've seen more than our share of motherboards sporting the Z77 chipset, but today we have a pair of Z77 boards--one each from ASRock and MSI--that are designed specifically for overclocking. Even better, both of these mainboards are actually mid-range offerings, meaning you can enjoy the overclocking features without paying for the highest-end options from the two companies. What better way to put them through the paces than by setting up a good old-fashioned mainboard shootout?
Because Z77 was made to be paired up with Intel's Ivy Bridge processors, we slapped a quad-core Intel Core i7-3770K in these two contenders and let the fur fly.
But first, let's take a look at the ASRock Z77 OC Formula and MSI Big Bang Z77 MPOWER. As motherboards go, the ASRock Z77 OC Formula's a beaut, featuring a black PCB, black and yellow slots and connectors, gold caps, and a brushed black metal finish on the heatsinks.
In terms of physical buttons, switches, and other miscellany located on the PCB, the power and reset buttons reside down by the Southbridge; a V-Probe is up and to the right of the DIMM slots, just under Rapid OC +/- buttons; and just above those is a Dr. Debug LED and PCIe on/off switches; and there's a Clear CMOS button on the rear I/O panel.
The board supports both 2nd- and 3rd-generation Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 chips and can handle up to 32GB of DDR3-3000 (OC) system memory.
Four-way SLI and CrossFireX support is enabled by the five PCI-E slots--two PCI-E 3.0 x16, one PCI-E 2.0 x16, and two PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots--and there are six total SATA connectors on board, all of which are SATA 6Gbps. As far as USB goes, ASRock put in four USB 2.0 ports and went with USB 3.0 ports for the remaining seven; one is mounted on a front panel, and there are ten total on the back I/O panel.
The rest of the back panel includes a PS/2 port, HDMI, optical S/PDIF, LAN port, CMOS button, and audio jacks.
To enhance overclocking prowess, ASRock built the Z77 OC Formula with a 12+4 power phase design, Digi Power PWM for better CPU voltage handling, dual-stack MOSFETs, and premium alloy choke. The CPU socket and memory slots feature 15μ Gold Finger for better performance, and ASRock's twin-power cooling is designed so that users can combine air and water cooling for better heat flow and transfer.
There are even little "OC stands" that keep the motherboard up off the surface you're using it on for better airflow if you don't feel like building the system with a chassis, and ASRock threw in a syringe full of GELID GC-Extreme thermal compound, too.
Of course, there's plenty of OC software provided so you can tweak the board and components in a variety of ways in addition to the old-fashioned method of adjusting settings in the UEFI BIOS, which includes a pre-loaded OC profile from Nick Shih. Formula Drive is the main piece of software, and it enables users to view and alter settings for hardware monitoring, fan controls, PCI-E on/off controls, fine voltage controls, thermal sensors, and more.
Other software ASRock threw in includes ASRock OMG (Online Management Guard), Internet Flash to look for firmware updates from the UEFI BIOS, the MAGIX Multimedia Suite, APP Charger, Lucid Virtu, and ASRock XFast USB/RAM/LAN.
It's always interesting to see what mainboard manufacturers will include in the box, and ASRock did not disappoint. In addition to the accessories mentioned above, there's a black velvet sack with a tie cord--and only good things can come from such a satchel--which contains a user manual, software setup guide, software and utilities disc, I/O shield, screws, a front USB 3.0 panel, a rear USB 3.0 bracket, an SLI bridge card, a handful of SATA cables, and a pair of 1-to-1 SATA power cables.
|MSI Z77 Big Bang MPOWER
|There must be something about black and yellow, because the MSI Big Bang Z77 MPOWER sports a similar look as the ASRock board. It has a black PCB with black slots and connectors, and the heat sinks are mostly dark gray with splashes of bright yellow.
Also like the ASRock board, physical buttons and switches abound; the power, reset, and OC Genie II buttons are clustered just to the right of the DIMM slots, and down below the Southbridge is a multi-BIOS switch and the GO2BIOS button, with a debug LED and voltage checkpoints connector just above. The I/O panel has a conveniently-located Clear CMOS button, too.
This is a socket 1155 motherboard to handle Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge chips, and the board supports up to 32GB of DDR3-3000 OC memory over four DIMMs.
The three PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots and four PCI-E 2.0 x1 slots, which support multi-way SLI and CrossFireX setups, and there are four SATA 6 Gbps and two SATA 3Gbps ports, as well. Six of those SATA ports support Intel Rapid Storage Technology for RAID 0/1/5/10.
The rear I/O panel includes the aforementioned Clear CMOS button as well as a PS/2 port, optical S/PDIF out, Gigabit LAN port, 6-in-1 audio jacks, HDMI, DisplayPort, two USB 2.0 ports, and 6 USB 3.0 ports. For handy connectivity, there's a Bluetooth module and a WiFi module with a jack for the included antenna, too.
The MPOWER Difference -
As you might expect, the MSI Big Bang Z77 MPOWER does not want for overclocking features. Before these boards ship, MSI burns them in for 24 hours with Prime95 and a liquid-cooled overclocked CPU so they can proudly wear the "OC Certified" title. (Lest you doubt the veracity of your exact board's certification, it comes with an embossed certificate.) The board is built with MSI's Military Class III components for longevity under intense working conditions, and the Superpipe cooling design is meant to improve the board's ability to pull heat away from power array and processor area.
In addition to being able to adjust overclocking settings the traditional way, users can create an overclocking profile in OC Genie II within the (very fine-looking) UEFI BIOS and call those settings up with the press of a button. The Instant OC feature of MSI's Command Center software has a few preset overclocking configurations, too.
Speaking of software, MSI packed the included disc full of it; in addition to the aforementioned, the bundled software includes the excellent MSI Live Update 5, MSI Suite application launcher and backup manager, Super Charger for quickly charging attached devices, Winki III for limited use of certain applications without booting into Windows, audio and video genies, network and teaming genies, Lucid Virtu, Click BIOS II to tweak BIOS settings from within Windows, and more.
Little treasures that come in the box include an I/O shield, the WiFi antenna, V-Check cables and a quick guide, a handful of SATA cables, an installation guide, software and application user guide, user manual, drivers and utilities disc, a Certificate of Quality and Stability, and a glossy fold-out overclocking guide.
|UEFI Comparison
|When motherboard manufacturers started moving away from the old AWARD BIOSes and switched to graphically lovely UEFIs, it was a revelation, but it took a while for most of them to feel as smooth as they looked. Even though you could use both the mouse and keyboard to adjust settings, for example, performance was often frustratingly laggy and glitchy.
Most motherboard companies are producing very fine UEFIs these days, however, and both ASRock and MSI have nailed it. Both felt snappy and responsive and were relatively easy to navigate, so kudos to the two companies for that.
We've looked at ASRock's excellent UEFI before when we tested its Fatal1ty Z77 Professional board, and it's worth noting that the company went to the trouble of creating a separate (though mostly similar) UEFI environment for the Z77 OC Formula. Unlike the former's coolly subdued red and black look, the latter has a star system-looking background and more elaborate icons for the various tabs. With the Z77 OC Formula, ASRock also ditched the option to bring up a 3D image of the motherboard, which really isn't going to be of much use for an overclocker, anyway.
The organization is straightforward: the Main area gives you basic, at-a-glance system information; OC Tweaker is the playground where you adjust all your overclock settings; Advanced is the section is which you can set parameters and options for the North Bridge, South Bridge, storage, I/O, and other aspects of the system; under Tools, you can update the BIOS; the H/W Monitor area gives you a boatload of information about temps, voltages, fan speeds, and so on; there are copious items to play with under Boot; the Security area lets you set passwords and set state modes; and Exit is--well, that's self-explanatory.
There's even a QR code in there that you can scan to get more details. Perhaps that's a bit over the top, but it's still pretty cool.
MSI's Click BIOS II is pretty much what we've seen in the company's other Z77 offerings. Instead of keeping everything neatly organized under a handful of tabs, much of what you'll want to adjust is sort of out there on the main screen, including temps, basic information such as the BIOS version and components list, and a graphical boot priority menu.
It's laid out with six huge buttons (three per side) and the corresponding menu items appear in the middle of the screen when a button is clicked. It's perhaps a bit of a distracting layout, but as a result there isn't much you need to hunt for in the six sections since so much is there on the main screen.
Under Settings, there's system status information, an Advanced area for further system configuration, boot settings, and the exit menu; you can dive deep into overclock settings under the OC area; Eco mode gives you handful of power-saving parameters to play with; the Utilities area lets you set backups and update the system and BIOS; and you can create passwords and chassis intrusion settings under Security. The Browser area lets you access the Internet and handy tools such as email right from the BIOS.
There are also three modes of operation you can easily toggle between: Eco, Standard, and OC Genie II. Using Eco mode helps reduce your energy consumption, and the OC Genie II mode lets you easily switch over to overclock settings you can set in the BIOS and forget. In other words, it lets you leave your standard settings alone and just fire up your optimal OC settings whenever it's convenient. All told, we really liked MSI's UEFI implementation here.
And now, on to our benchmark testing to see how these puppies perform.
|Test Setup and PCMark 7
|Test System Configuration Notes: When configuring our test systems for this article, we first entered their respective UEFI menus and set each board to its "Optimized" or "High performance Defaults". We then saved the settings, re-entered the BIOS and set the memory frequency to the maximum officially supported speed for the given platform. The SSD was then formatted, and Windows 7 Ultimate x64 was installed. When the Windows installation was complete, we updated the OS, and installed the drivers necessary for our components. Auto-Updating and Windows Defender were then disabled and we installed all of our benchmarking software, performed a disk clean-up, cleared temp and prefetch data, and ran the tests.
We outfitted our motherboards with an Intel Core i7-3770K, 8GB of Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600MHz memory, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 graphics card, and an OCZ Vertex 4 SSD.
Below is what Futuremark says is incorporated in the base PCMark suite and the Entertainment, Creativity, and Productivity suites, the four modules we have benchmark scores for you here.
The PCMark test is a collection of workloads that measure system performance during typical desktop usage. This is the most important test since it returns the official PCMark score for the system
Although the performance gap between the two boards isn't too wide, the MSI board clearly takes the win in the PCMark 7 test.
|Cinebench R11.5 and POV-Ray
|Cinebench R11.5 is an OpenGL 3D rendering performance test based on Cinema 4D from Maxon. Cinema 4D is a 3D rendering and animation suite used by 3D animation houses and producers like Sony Animation and many others. It's very demanding of system processor resources and is an excellent gauge of computational throughput. This is a multi-threaded, multi-processor aware benchmark that renders a 3D scene and tracks the length of the entire process. The rate at which each test system was able to render the entire scene is represented in the graph below.
Both boards put forth strong Cinebench scores, although the MSI board topped ASRock here in both multi-thread and single-thread tests. The margin isn't much, but it is clear who's the victor here.
Again, although these two boards scored fairly close together, it's MSI that comes away with the win with a stronger showing, posting a multi-thread score of 90 points higher than the ASRock board.
|LAME MT and SunSpider
|In our custom LAME MT MP3 encoding test, we convert a large WAV file to the MP3 format, which is a popular scenario that many end users work with on a day-to-day basis to provide portability and storage of their digital audio content. LAME is an open-source mid to high bit-rate and VBR (variable bit rate) MP3 audio encoder that is used widely around the world in a multitude of third party applications.
There's not much to see here; these scores are almost identical, which is to be expected in this test. Still, it's good to see that consistency.
All of the systems were testing using the latest version of Internet Explorer 9, with default browser settings, on a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
The competition between these motherboards is tight; there's almost no difference here. We're talking about a difference of 4 milliseconds, which, in a browser test, is hardly notable.
|Low-Res Gaming: Crysis and ET:QW
|For our next series of tests, we moved on to some more in-game benchmarking with Crysis and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. When testing processors with Crysis or ET:QW, we drop the resolution to 1024x768, and reduce all of the in-game graphical options to their minimum values to isolate CPU and memory performance as much as possible. However, the in-game effects, which control the level of detail for the games' physics engines and particle systems, are left at their maximum values, since these actually do place a load on the CPU rather than GPU.
Are you noticing a trend here? In every test so far, the MSI Big Bang has bested the ASRock OC Formula--by a relatively small margin. In Crysis, it's a difference of just 8FPS, although the gap in ET:QW of about 21FPS is slightly more notable.
|Total System Power Consumption
|Before get to the final overclocking showdown, we'd also like to talk a bit about power consumption. Throughout all of our benchmarking and testing, we monitored how much power each of our test mainboards was consuming with a power meter, and compared them to the reference systems used throughout our benchmark tests.
The power consumption numbers offer an interesting surprise; these two motherboards are pulling almost exactly the same amount of juice under load. True, the idle ASRock board drinks a little more at idle, but 6W isn't much of a difference.
|The Final Showdown: Overclocking
|It's one thing to compare scores in our standard spate of benchmarks, but it's quite another to see how these mainboards can overclock; after all, in a head-to-head matchup of two boards that are built specifically for overclocking, this is where the rubber meets the road.
We tested both boards using the same components and chassis, and at the same ambient room temperature. All case fans were running, and we went with air cooling using our trusty dual-fan Corsair A70 CPU cooler. In both cases, we adjusted settings using the UEFI BIOS instead of relying on any Windows-based overclocking software.
For both of these motherboards, we tested the overclocks primarily by balancing the base clock and multiplier to find their respective sweet spots and raising the CPU core voltage to see what further performance we could eek out of them.
The contest was reasonably close, but the ASRock Z77 OC Formula won the day. We goosed the CPU up to 4.747GHz by upping the base clock to 101 and raising the multiplier to 47 with a CPU core voltage of 1.25V. The MSI Z77 Big Bang MPOWER wasn't terribly far behind, but we could only muster 4.646GHz at 101x46 with the same 1.25V CPU core voltage.
It's worth noting, however, that we discovered that the MSI board could handle a base clock of 108 with a lower multiplier, while we couldn't the ASRock's past 106.5 without experiencing crashes.
And this is where we drop the disclaimer: Expect better performance with a liquid cooling system as well as some additional time and tinkering. You can spend weeks poking around all the various settings in these BIOSes and both boards offer experienced overclocker's lots of options and knobs to turn.
|Performance Summary and Conclusion
|Performance Summary: Both the ASRock Z77 OC Formula and the MSI Z77 Big Bang MPOWER posted strong scores in our benchmarks, thanks in part no doubt to the Intel Core i7-3770K (Ivy Bridge) processor and zippy OCZ Vertex 4 SSD in the system, but in every test it was the MSI board that came out on top by mostly slim margins. However, the ASRock board managed to best its competitor with a slightly better overclock of 4.747GHz.
Deciding a winner in this shootout is tricky; on the one hand, the MSI Z77 Big Bang MPOWER showed that it's consistently faster in regular tests, which might temp you to think that it's the better board. And frankly, if these were two standard motherboards, that's what we'd say and give the nod to MSI despite the ASRock board's slightly higher overclock. This shootout, however, is between two mainboards that are designed and built specifically for overclockers, so we must give greater weight to that aspect of the competition, at least technically. It's pretty difficult to discern a clear "winner" here though.
Truthfully, though, the margin of victory isn't a wide one, and we can enthusiastically recommend either of these boards. Both proved to offer great stability and robust construction to ensure that they'll last for a while, even when users push components to the max. Both also offer excellent UEFI environments and plenty of additional overclocking tools.
Further, neither board has a sticker price at the top of their respective ranges, which makes them all the more appealing. The ASRock Z77 OC Formula comes in at $239.99, and you can currently find an MSI Z77 Big Bang MPOWER for around 200 bucks or even less.
So go ahead, snag one of these bad boys and overclock your heart out; we're putting our stamp of approval on both these boards, as neither of them really has a downside.

5 Unexpected Uses For Makeup You Already Own
Written on February 21, 2012 at 10:00 am , by Fitness Magazine
Time to streamline! These genius double uses for the makeup staples you already own make your cosmetics go the extra mile, saving much-needed space in your gym bag—and money in your wallet.
- BLUSH = EYE SHADOW Use an eye shadow brush to sweep blush over your eyelids for a pretty, monochromatic look.
- CONCEALER = EYE & LIP PRIMER Neutralize the ruddy pink tones of eyelids and lips with a light layer of your regular concealer: The colors you apply on top with appear truer and last longer.
- EYE SHADOW = HIGHLIGHTER Blend a light-colored neutral cream eye shadow (think champagne or gold), such as CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast in Beige Blaze, on the tops of cheekbones, cupid's bow, inner corners of the eyes and under the brows for a believable glow.
- LIP BALM OR LIPSTICK = CHEEK & EYE ENHANCER In a pinch, dab tinted lip balm or lipstick on cheeks and eyes—they can double as a cream blush and eye shadow. Use a clear balm to add a touch of healthy sheen.
Source: Pat McGrath, creative design director for Procter & Gamble Beauty
And my own creation: Layer lip balm, a rose, pinky-nude or mauve-hued eye shadow, and top with clear lip gloss for a custom-created lip color.

Written on November 9, 2010 at 10:31 am , by April Franzino
Could all the beauty products you need be packed into three little sticks? If you ask model and former makeup artist Cindy Joseph, the answer is yes. Her line, Boom! by Cindy Joseph, consists of just three pocket-sized twist-up sticks, perfect for tossing in your gym bag and dabbing on-the-go:
- Boomstick Glo (below, right): A hydrating olive oil and beeswax balm formulated by Cindy's beekeeper friend in Hawaii that can be used on cuticles, lips or face. This one has earned a spot in my (very-crowded) purse!
- Boomstick Color (below, middle): A berry hue for lips, cheeks and eyes that flatters all skin tones—it's based on a shade she mixed at photo shoots and used on the full spectrum of celebs and models, from Uma Thurman to Naomi Campbell.
- Boomstick Glimmer (below, left): A subtle shimmer highlighter that can be used to accentuate cheekbones, brighten up the inner corners of eyes or layer on lips for a more dressed-up look.
Talk about a streamlined routine! What beauty essentials do you tote every day?

We've challenged what traditionally defines a pizza by skipping the sauce and topping the crusts with a lightly dressed salad of mixed gourmet greens. These pizzas are fresh and delicious and easy to make at home.

Preheat oven to 350°.
. Unroll dough; cut into 4 equal portions. Press each portion of dough into a 6 x 8-inch rectangle on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with green onions and basil, pressing gently into dough. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until crusts are crisp. Remove crusts from pan; cool 10 minutes on a wire rack.
. Combine oil and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Add greens, tossing to coat. Place crusts on individual serving plates; top evenly with salad. Sprinkle evenly with feta cheese. Serve immediately.

Trade sanctions, financial transfers and BRIC participation in global climate change negotiations
AbstractTwo effects are at issue in evaluating country incentives to participate in global carbon emission initiatives: a utility loss from reduced consumption due to reduced use of fossil fuels and a gain from lowered temperature change. The latter accrues to all countries. Own country emissions reductions are typically not in the self interest of countries and hence countries will not participate in global climate negotiations, unless the perceived damage from climate change is very large and much larger than damage estimates in the Stern review. We use Stern based damage estimates and investigate how the incentives for large population low wage rapidly growing countries in the BRIC group (Brazil, Russia, India, China) to participate in global climate change negotiations both as a sub-global coalition and individually can be affected by penalties (tariffs) inflicted or financial transfers made to them by the OECD. We assess what levels of other country trade measures linked to non-participation are needed to induce compliance as an all or nothing discrete choice. We also analyze participation linked to financial transfers. We use a general equilibrium model calibrated to a 2006-2056 base case, and capture induced changes in the global trade equilibrium in our analyses. Our results suggest that only very high tariffs of over a hundred percent by all other countries, or even higher tariffs by the OECD alone, could induce participation by BRIC countries. Equally, large financial transfers would be needed.

Why Complaining Is an Indicator of Luxury
It's a sure sign: complaining means I've satisfied my basic requirements for happiness, and have room to complain about nonsense.
So, when I'm bitching about customers, it's only because I no longer have to worry about being broke and depressed… which is pretty damn awesome. How ironic that the thing that makes me happy (hard fucking work) is also the thing that I'd most like to avoid—the thing I avoided for so long this year.
It reminds me of a Dumbledore quote: "Humans do have a knack for choosing precisely those things which are worst for them" (Sorcerer's Stone 215).
But it's true. I chose to be a bum for such a long time… I tried so many things half-heartedly, and felt like I was in limbo. Now, I love getting off work and having a few hours to spend indulgently, guilt-free. I finally feel like I deserve to relax. And I'm happier. I laugh more. Music sounds more beautiful and multifaceted. Opportunities seem more prevalent. I feel the urge to hug again.
I was drowning in an abyss before: no money, nowhere to go, no one to spend time with who was also available (or so it seemed—time passes differently for the unemployed). Now, I have money. I have time off that feels good.
I paid for my happiness with my freedom, but it seems to be going okay. I wonder if now I just define "freedom" differently.
After all, how free are you if you can't go anywhere or do anything?
I will never be unemployed again. Even if I become self-employed, I will NEVER let myself stop working. It's a trap.
It felt like I'd chewed my own arm off when I first got my jobs in October. But let me tell you, this new freedom is sweet. Who needs an arm when you're going to die in a trap?
I'm just saying… customers can be bitches when they know you have to be nice to them… but the annoyance I feel pales in comparison to the desperation I felt when I avoided them completely. And I do kind of feel good being nice to someone who is a complete bitch. It's fake, but there's a charming smugness to it that's kind of fun.
One of my fellow partners (Amir) said something to me the other day that really resonated with me: "Remember, T-dawg," he said. "The meanest people have the shittiest lives."
And it's true. I can afford to be nice to a bitch, because I have enough happiness not to be a bitch myself anymore.
ANYWAY, that's all for now. ;)

"Ang Kapal Naman ng Mukha Ko..." - KC on Issue Linking Her to Sam Milby and Anne Curtis Breakup
In the interview, she stressed that there was nothing going on between her and the dashing actor. "Magkaibigan kasi kami ni Sam. Eh 'di dapat naramdaman ko na yun 'di ba kung [balak niya ako ligawan like what the rumors are saying]. Ang kapal naman ng mukha ko kung isipin ko na porke kinakausap ako [ibig sabihin] nanliligaw na. Porke't lalake siya at babae ako gusto niya'ng makipagkaibigan," she frankly said in her interview on The Buzz.
As to the rumors that she's to blame about Sam's decision to put space between him and Anne for now, KC unflinchingly answered, "Hindi ako involved sa kung ano'ng nangyayari sa kanila ni Anne and ayoko'ng ma-involve." She also claimed that there's nothing wrong if both Sam and Anne want to be friends with her. "Open ako sa lahat ng gustong makipagkaibigan including Anne. Pero kung bibigyan nila ng ibang kahulugan yun, eh 'di sayang naman," she noted.
Confident that she doesn't have anything to hide, KC reiterated that there's no reason for Anne to feel jealous of her. "Hindi ba siyempre kailangan naman trust the girls that are around you also na hindi naman sila mang-aagaw ng boyfriend or anything. Pero kung if ever lumapit yung lalake sa babae, hindi naman siguro kasalanan ng babae yun," she said.
Whether KC and Sam's friendship could turn into something else later on still remains to be seen. But for now, KC clearly has nothing but high hopes for the two ex-sweethearts to reconcile their differences soon. "Sana maayos nila kung ano mang kailangang ayusin nila because they are two good people naman," she asserted.

Last week, Bikini Summit 2007 winner Gail Nicolas was the first participante to get the boot.

Diether Ocampo Transfers to GMA-7
Diether is set to do a Koreanovela adaptations. His first project is All About Eve with Iza Calzado, Sunshine Dizon, Jean Garcia, Eula Valdez and Richard Gomez.
Before signing up with GMA, Diether very kindly informed his bosses at ABS-CBN, the studio that discovered him and groomed him as member of Star Circle. His last project for ABS-CBN was the just-concluded soap Iisa Pa Lamang with Susan Roces, Gabby Concepcion and Claudine Barretto.

Diether will now join other former homegrown Kapamilya stars who also made the big switch. The list includes Jolina Magdangal, Marvin Agustin, Paolo Contis, Camille Prats, and Heart Evangelista, to name a few.

Paula Goodspeed Found Dead Outside Paula Abdul's House
The victim was found dead in a car, yards from Paula's L.A. home. Cause of death may have been a drug overdose according to Ventura County Sheriff.
Goodspeed wrote on her Myspace about the experience.
"It's very hard reading such awful things being written about yourself…or hearing things being said…not like a lot of people would understand what it's like having so many haters, just because I made the mistake of trying out for a singing competition before I was ~even~ ready vocally, emotionally and physically. I have to believe there is something good about me…"

Paolo Contis To Host GMA-7's My Dad is Better Than Your Dad
My Dad is Better than your Dad is a fun-filled, family-friendly competition series created by Jon Hotchkiss and is a production of Reveille (The Biggest Loser), Mark Burnett Productions (Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, Survivor, et al.) and Hotchkiss Industries.
In each episode, four fathers will lead his respective son or daughter through a series of physical and mental challenges and stunts for the opportunity to win money and prizes that have yet to be announced by GMA-7.
As host, Paolo would like to give his suggestions about how the show chooses its contestants. "Ang sabi ko nga, dapat bawat episode namin yung grouping ng mga contestants iba-iba. Dapat may physical na tatay, mayroong hindi masyado, para masaya," he offers.
"May mga sinuggest naman ako, which I hope na matupad pero kasi may sinusunod sila, e. Especially, since first Asian franchise ang GMA-7 kaya kailangan sundin nila. Medyo strict sila."
He says that he is studying the original U.S. version of the show so he will be knowledgeable about the rules of the game.
My Dad is Better than your Dad will air on GMA-7 starting November 23.
Regine Velasquez Launches "Low Key" Album Under Universal Records
Compared to her previous albums, Low Key has Regine singing mellow songs—all covers. Some of the tracks include Terri Gibbs's "Tell Me That You Love Me," Don McLean's "And I Love You So," Rita Cooldige's "I'd Rather Leave While I'm In love," Katie Irving's "I Never Dreamed Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me," Orsa Lia's "No Walls, No Ceilings, No Floors;" Cat Steven's "How Can I Tell You," Dennis Lambert's "Of All the Things," Dan Fogelberg's "Longer," Janis Japlin's "At Seventeen," Christopher Cross's "Never Be the Same," and the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever."
There are also two songs included in the album that are especially dedicated to Regine's parents, Gerry and Tessie Velasquez. For her father, Regine recorded Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band" while she picked Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman To Me" for her mom.
Noticeably, Regine's rendition of the songs is more restrained, a far cry from the usual belting that she does in most of her albums.
"Yeah, that's why it's called Low Key, 'cause it's more relaxed, more laid-back. Hindi naman talagang pinigil, 'no, but the songs are mellow din kasi, e. So, ang hirap namang magtititili ako na... It doesn't really call for it." Regine agrees.

"In apocalyptic London only the pigeons remain.
They live in the gutter but their feet are made of gold. Adopting human desires of lust, power and glory, the scavengers unite throwing territorial gang signs. "Homage" embraces the high life of the low life.
TM's fantasy underworld is based on her hometown."
Made from silver casts taken directly from the feet of London pigeons, the claws wrap around holding the finger elegantly echoing the grasp of the birds feet. Each of the nails are individually gold plated by hand adding a playful human-like twist to this birds character. Braking that age old 'gold and silver' taboo, the hand plated tips accentuate the claw like hold of the ring. Lovingly packaged in TM's signature hallmark designed boxes with a wax sealed, personalised thank-you card. For a gift, send your message and it will be hand embossed in gold on to the card.
Please remember to add your ring size in a note on the order. I will post within 24hrs of receiving your size.
Each claw is approx. 4mm thick and span of the claws across the front of the fingers measures approx. 35mm
Material Used
Cast in solid sterling silver the claws have a hand applied 2micron gold plate to the nails.

Corkage in Patagonia: Argentine Wines For Redneck Spring
Argentine Wines for Redneck Spring
My oldest friend in New York is a man of observations that grow on you—observations that have to be lived with. Fortunately, he writes most of this stuff down, and permits me to read at least some of it. Fragments come at me from time to time, unbidden; they're like the perfect crescent moon I sighted last Thursday night down Houston St., dangling low over the Hudson. (That can't be real, I thought, pondering the sliver against the obsidian sky. It's like someone cut it from cardboard and aimed a spotlight at it, like someone contrived this rare vision for my benefit, to stop me in my tracks.) Bits of insight that nestle in shy corners of your brain are my old friend's business; they lurk; they await their moment. And let me tell you, this guy is an old friend. We go back a decade—a third of my life. My former ballet crony, back in those days when I could afford ballet. He's bitched about my driving and lived to tell about it. He's gotten me jobs. He's sent me postcards from exotic places I'll likely never see.
At any rate, it was what he once wrote me about summertime that hooked me. It was an embellishment on James. Henry James, you'll remember, said that the two most beautiful words in the English language are "summer afternoon." And often I agree—when, for instance, a breeze rushes through the huge tree two houses up from my backyard patio and there's a rustle in the air that carries the sympathetic tremolo of an affluence that reaches even me, in my shabby luxuriation. The sun vanishes below laundry strung between fire escapes on clotheslines that my neighbors still reassuringly use. There's a sky as blue as the sky in a Constable. It's a summer afternoon, and James was right. What my friend thought, though, was that "summer afternoon" has a companion phrase in the language. "Indian summer" was what he landed on, lamenting the possibility that politics—or even discretion—could take it away from us. We fucked the Indians, he realized. Why rub it in?
Indian summer. I gave it little thought until this last week, when the heat wave finally relented and we—soggy misfits without air conditioning—got our reprieve from the funk. It scarred me. Whenever the weather goes mad for a week, my skin revolts. My forehead currently bears the evidence, the healing scabs from humidity blemishes. And so our rainforest metropolis was scoured by the jet stream, the relatively dry winds returned and I thought, What should I call this? And thinking then of my friend and his affection for Indian summer, I considered my people, my hillbilly lineage, and I asked myself: What do we call it when, in the guts of August, a wind arrives to restore civility to the panting mountains of Appalachia? I said to myself, "'Redneck spring' is what we call it," and there it was.
So what does a man drink during redneck spring? Shit, boy, a man drinks whiskey, goddammit. Shit. What do you think a man drinks? But I've given up on whiskey, so I needed to find a wine to drink to celebrate the cooling, and I said to myself: Argentina. Because it's Argentina that's prodded my imagination for months now. Argentina and surfing. But forget the surfing. Simply Argentina, and the tango, and Astor Piazzolla, whose CDs have lived in my stereo. Besides, Argentina is the redneck backwater of the wine world, only now beginning to return to its former glory. When a dip in the temperature gave me a taste for red wine, my first impulse was to load up on the juice from Argentina. (It helps that Argentina, like Chile a few years back, has become the wine world's hot topic, its new South American darling. One can go to Crossroads Liquors, on West 14th St., for instance, and find an entire small section conveniently devoted to Argentine reds and whites.) Recent Argentine history goes like this: Juan-Evita-military dictators-the Falklands. Drama followed by repression and cynicism followed by humiliation. But the country—assuming that there isn't a South American crisis on the heels of the Asian one—is bouncing back, particularly in the areas of viticulture, wine making and wine export. The big red-wine grape in Argentina is malbec, an oddity since this native varietal of Bordeaux has been declining in popularity in France for some time now. Malbec has thus been ignored almost everywhere that isn't Argentina, especially in places where the cabernet sauvignon/merlot model of Bordeaux-style winemaking has dominated (in Napa, for instance). Down there in the southern hemisphere, however, malbec has flourished, and thank God Argentina's unleashed it on the world.
If you like Spanish Rioja, chances are that you'll also like malbec, a wine of invigorating fruity mouthfuls—fat with blackberries and cherries—that still has structure and is generally aged in oak, which adds vanilla tones to the aroma. The color resembles ruby port's, and drinkers who like their wine to tend toward the qualities of port will probably dig malbec, with the lush burn of its mildly tannic finish. Like petite syrah, malbec is a mouth-blackener, a tooth-stainer. And try to drink the stuff that's got a few years on it, but not too many. Malbec can age—my recent favorites were '94-'95 vintages, and I imagine the earlier releases to be slightly better—but as is the case with red Rioja's, malbec's style is one that emulates French qualities rather than truly possesses them. In other words, you might as well drink your '95 malbec now. No sense in putting it up for five more years if it's not going to develop any more complexity, and is only going to lose its signature fruitiness. What's in the stores now dates from '94 on, and though Argentine malbec remains something of a secret, most merchants will, if you ask, be happy to introduce you to the cult. That's a marvelous thing, really, because malbec is, ounce-per-ounce, cheap by comparison with the payoff. A bottle of the superb '94 Bodega y Cavas de Weinert goes for $14 at Crossroads.
The Weinert is a smooth operator. Somewhat shaggier, but still reminiscent of malbec in its more youthful temperament, is the '97 Don Miguel Gascon, which at $9 is so much more interesting than most other reds you'd drop that kind of money on that it makes sense to stock up on it. The third malbec I sampled was the '95 Valentin Bianchi ($14), and while it reminded me a lot of the Weinert—peppery, oaky, a lot of fruit—the tannins were a little too much for my tastes. In Argentina, Mendoza is the brag-about-it appellation, situated near the middle of the country and shielded from the Pacific by Chile and the Andes. Both Weinert and Gascon have Mendoza on their labels, but Bianchi comes from "San Rafael," which isn't a region separate
from Mendoza, but a micro-region within, farther to the south and slightly more inland. This might explain why, at $14, I thought the Weinert was the superior buy. Still, it's not that big a deal. The differences are slight.
If it's 65 degrees at night and feet are up on the back porch and you're watching the dogs gambol on the grass—or even if you're standing in front of an open window just off Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn, the final dregs of another blissful redneck spring filtering through the filthy mesh while the local dons of urban signification thump down the block and the weeds sway in the breeze—then it's a good time to drink malbec. If you're feeling brave, make sausage risotto to eat with it. Drink an out-of-season red wine that was crafted at the bottom of the world, because when the population up here wilts in the haze, down in Patagonia they shiver. A meaningful difference, if you ask me; an adequate temptation to be not bicoastal, but trans-hemispheric, shuttling across the equator in search of an endless spring. Costly, sure, but in Argentina, they bottle the experience, and sell it.

I made a Linus shirt for the baby!
The cats are still a little afraid of her, but Linus will rub against her if she's being held, and he's licked the top of her head a few times. I guess that means he's accepted her.
GOOD GRAVY, how did I miss all of the previous Linus posts related to Baby? Adorbz.

Talking with the stand-up rebel, followed by a heavy dose of—remember this?—nostalgia
Not that he'd appreciate the metaphor, but now that Carl Paladino has jumped into bed with veteran local loon Rabbi Yehuda Levin, maybe he'd like to take ownership of some of Levin's greatest hits. The 56-year-old rabbi from Borough Park has been glomming onto TV cameras since the early '80s, ... More >>

I went to the Columbia Journalism dinner in 2006 when Fi ... More >>

The key question coming out of this election is whether Mike Bloomberg got the message. Can he listen to voters he'll never face again?
