New Products for 2017
PC Perspective was invited to Austin, TX on May 11 and 12 to participate in ARM's yearly tech day. Also invited were a handful of editors and analysts that cover the PC and mobile markets. Those folks were all pretty smart, so it is confusing as to why they invited me. Perhaps word of my unique talent of screenshoting PDFs into near-unreadable JPGs preceded me? Regardless of the reason, I was treated to two full days of in-depth discussion of the latest generation of CPU and GPU cores, 10nm test chips, and information on new licensing options.
Today ARM is announcing their next CPU core with the introduction of the Cortex-A73. They are also unwrapping the latest Mali-G71 graphics technology. Other technologies such as the CCI-550 interconnect are also revealed. It is a busy and important day for ARM, especially in light of Intel seemingly abandoning the sub-milliwatt mobile market.
ARM previously announced the Cortex-A72 in February, 2015. Since that time it has been seen in most flagship mobile devices in late 2015 and throughout 2016. The market continues to evolve, and as such the workloads and form factors have pushed ARM to continue to develop and improve their CPU technology.
The Sofia Antipolis, France design group is behind the new A73. The previous several core architectures had been developed by the Cambridge group. As such, the new design differs quite dramatically from the previous A72. I was actually somewhat taken aback by the differences in the design philosophy of the two groups and the changes between the A72 and A73, but the generational jumps we have seen in the past make a bit more sense to me.
The marketplace is constantly changing when it comes to workloads and form factors. More and more complex applications are being ported to mobile devices, including hot technologies like AR and VR. Other technologies include 3D/360 degree video, greater than 20 MP cameras, and 4K/8K displays and their video playback formats. Form factors on the other hand have continued to decrease in size, especially in overall height. We have relatively large screens on most premium devices, but the designers have continued to make these phones thinner and thinner throughout the years. This has put a lot of pressure on ARM and their partners to increase performance while keeping TDPs in check, and even reducing them so they more adequately fit in the TDP envelope of these extremely thin devices.
NVIDIA Releases Full Specifications for GTX 1070
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 18, 2016 - 12:49 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: nvidia, pascal, gtx 1070, 1070, gtx, GTX 1080, 16nm FF+, TSMC, Founder's Edition
Several weeks ago when NVIDIA announced the new GTX 1000 series of products, we were given a quick glimpse of the GTX 1070. This upper-midrange card is to carry a $379 price tag in retail form while the "Founder's Edition" will hit the $449 mark. Today NVIDIA released the full specifications of this card on their website.
The interest of the GTX 1070 is incredibly great because of the potential performance of this card vs. the previous generation. Price is also a big consideration here as it is far easier to raise $370 than it is to make the jump to GTX 1080 and shell out $599 once non-Founder's Edition cards are released. The GTX 1070 has all of the same features as the GTX 1080, but it takes a hit when it comes to clockspeed and shader units.
The GTX 1070 is a Pascal based part that is fabricated on TSMC's 16nm FF+ node. It shares the same overall transistor count of the GTX 1080, but it is partially disabled. The GTX 1070 contains 1920 CUDA cores as compared to the 2560 cores of the 1080. Essentially one full GPC is disabled to reach that number. The clockspeeds take a hit as well compared to the full GTX 1080. The base clock for the 1070 is still an impressive 1506 MHz and boost reaches 1683 MHz. This combination of shader counts and clockspeed makes this probably a little bit faster than the older GTX 980 ti. The rated TDP for the card is 150 watts with a single 8 pin PCI-E power connector. This means that there should be some decent headroom when it comes to overclocking this card. Due to binning and yields, we may not see 2+ GHz overclocks with these cards, especially if NVIDIA cut down the power delivery system as compared to the GTX 1080. Time will tell on that one.
The memory technology that NVIDIA is using for this card is not the cutting edge GDDR5x or HBM, but rather the tried and true GDDR5. 8 GB of this memory sits on a 256 bit bus, but it is running at a very, very fast 8 gbps. This gives overall bandwidth in the 256 GB/sec region. When we combine this figure with the memory compression techniques implemented with the Pascal architecture we can see that the GTX 1070 will not be bandwidth starved. We have no information if this generation of products will mirror what we saw with the previous generation GTX 970 in terms of disabled memory controllers and the 3.5 GB/500 MB memory split due to that unique memory subsystem.
Beyond those things, the GTX 1070 is identical to the GTX 1080 in terms of DirectX features, display specifications, decoding support, double bandwidth SLI, etc. There is an obvious amount of excitement for this card considering its potential performance and price point. These supposedly will be available in the Founder's Edition release on June 10 for the $449 MSRP. I know many people are considering using these cards in SLI to deliver performance for half the price of last year's GTX 980ti. From all indications, these cards will be a signficant upgrade for anyone using GTX 970s in SLI. With the greater access to monitors that hit 4K as well as Surround Gaming, this could be a solid purchase for anyone looking to step up their game in these scenarios.
10nm Sooner Than Expected?
It seems only yesterday that we had the first major GPU released on 16nm FF+ and now we are talking about ARM about to receive their first 10nm FF test chips! Well, in fact it was yesterday that NVIDIA formally released performance figures on the latest GeForce GTX 1080 which is based on TSMC's 16nm FF+ process technology. Currently TSMC is going full bore on their latest process node and producing the fastest current graphics chip around. It has taken the foundry industry as a whole a lot longer to develop FinFET technology than expected, but now that they have that piece of the puzzle seemingly mastered they are moving to a new process node at an accelerated rate.
TSMC's 10nm FF is not well understood by press and analysts yet, but we gather that it is more of a marketing term than a true drop to 10 nm features. Intel has yet to get past 14nm and does not expect 10 nm production until well into next year. TSMC is promising their version in the second half of 2016. We cannot assume that TSMC's version will match what Intel will be doing in terms of geometries and electrical characteristics, but we do know that it is a step past TSMC's 16nm FF products. Lithography will likely get a boost with triple patterning exposure. My guess is that the back end will also move away from the "20nm metal" stages that we see with 16nm. All in all, it should be an improved product from what we see with 16nm, but time will tell if it can match the performance and density of competing lines that bear the 10nm name from Intel, Samsung, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
ARM has a history of porting their architectures to new process nodes, but they are being a bit more aggressive here than we have seen in the past. It used to be that ARM would announce a new core or technology, and it would take up to two years to be introduced into the market. Now we are seeing technology announcements and actual products hitting the scenes about nine months later. With the mobile market continuing to grow we expect to see products quicker to market still.
The company designed a simplified test chip to tape out and send to TSMC for test production on the aforementioned 10nm FF process. The chip was taped out in December, 2015. The design was shipped to TSMC for mask production and wafer starts. ARM is expecting the finished wafers to arrive this month.

Rumor: Apple's A11 SoC Reaches Tapeout at TSMC 10nm
Subject: Processors, Mobile | May 9, 2016 - 01:42 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: apple, a11, 10nm, TSMC
Before I begin, the report comes from DigiTimes and they cite anonymous sources for this story. As always, a grain of salt is required when dealing with this level of alleged leak.
That out of the way, rumor has it that Apple's A11 SoC has been taped out on TSMC's 10nm process node. This is still a little way's away from production, however. From here, TSMC should be providing samples of the now finalized chip in Q1 2017, start production a few months later, and land in iOS devices somewhere in Q3/Q4. Knowing Apple, that will probably align with their usual release schedule -- around September.
DigiTimes also reports that Apple will likely make their split-production idea a recurring habit. Currently, the A9 processor is fabricated at TSMC and Samsung on two different process nodes (16nm for TSMC and 14nm for Samsung). They claim that two-thirds of A11 chips will come from TSMC.
ARM Partners with TSMC to Produce SoCs on 7nm FinFET
Subject: Processors | March 15, 2016 - 12:52 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: TSMC, SoC, servers, process technology, low power, FinFET, datacenter, cpu, arm, 7nm, 7 nm FinFET
ARM and TSMC have announced their collaboration on 7 nm FinFET process technology for future SoCs. A multi-year agreement between the companies, products produces on this 7 nm FinFET process are intended to expand ARM's reach "beyond mobile and into next-generation networks and data centers".
TSMC Headquarters (Image credit: AndroidHeadlines)
So when can we expect to see 7nm SoCs on the market? The report from The Inquirer offers this quote from TSMC:
"A TSMC spokesperson told the INQUIRER in a statement: 'Our 7nm technology development progress is on schedule. TSMC's 7nm technology development leverages our 10nm development very effectively. At the same time, 7nm offers a substantial density improvement, performance improvement and power reduction from 10nm'."

MWC 2016: MediaTek Announces Helio P20 True Octa-Core SoC
Subject: Processors, Mobile | February 22, 2016 - 11:11 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: TSMC, SoC, octa-core, MWC 2016, MWC, mediatek, Mali-T880, LPDDR4X, Cortex-A53, big.little, arm
MediaTek might not be well-known in the United States, but the company has been working to expand from China, where it had a 40% market share as of June 2015, into the global market. While 2015 saw the introduction of the 8-core Helio P10 and the 10-core helio X20 SoCs, the company continues to expand their lineup, today announcing the Helio P20 SoC.
There are a number of differences between the recent SoCs from MediaTek, beginning with the CPU core configuration. This new Helio P20 is a "True Octa-Core" design, but rather than a big.LITTLE configuration it's using 8 identically-clocked ARM Cortex-A53 cores at 2.3 GHz. The previous Helio P10 used a similar CPU configuration, though clocks were limited to 2.0 GHz with that SoC. Conversely, the 10-core Helio X20 uses a tri-cluster configuration, with 2x ARM Cortex-A72 cores running at 2.5 GHz, along with a typical big.LITTLE arrangement (4x Cortex-A53 cores at 2.0 Ghz and 4x Cortex-A53 cores at 1.4 GHz).
Another change affecting MediaTek's new SoC and he industry at large is the move to smaller process nodes. The Helio P10 was built on 28 nm HPM, and this new P20 moves to 16 nm FinFET. Just as with the Helio P10 and Helio X20 (a 20 nm part) this SoC is produced at TSMC using their 16FF+ (FinFET Plus) technology. This should provide up to "40% higher speed and 60% power saving" compared to the company's previous 20 nm process found in the Helio X20, though of course real-world results will have to wait until handsets are available to test.
The Helio P20 also takes advantage of LPDDR4X, and is "the world's first SoC to support low power double data rate random access memory" according to MediaTek. The company says this new memory provides "70 percent more bandwidth than the LPDDR3 and 50 percent power savings by lowering supply voltage to 0.6v". Graphics are powered by ARM's high-end Mali T880 GPU, clocked at an impressive 900 MHz. And all-important modem connectivity includes CAT6 LTE with 2x carrier aggregation for speeds of up to 300 Mbps down, 50 Mbps up. The Helio P20 also supports up to 4k/30 video decode with H.264/265 support, and the 12-bit dual camera ISP supports up to 24 MP sensors.
Specs from MediaTek:
- Process: 16nm
- Apps CPU: 8x Cortex-A53, up to 2.3GHz
- Memory: Up to 2 x LPDDR4X 1600MHz (up to 6GB) + 1x LPDDR3 933Mhz (up to 4GB) + eMMC 5.1
- Camera: Up to 24MP at 24FPS w/ZSD, 12bit Dual ISP, 3A HW engine, Bayer & Mono sensor support
- Video Decode: Up to 4Kx2K 30fps H.264/265
- Video Encode: Up to 4Kx2K 30fps H.264
- Graphics: Mali T-880 MP2 900MHz
- Display: FHD 1920x1080 60fps. 2x DSI for dual display
- Modem: LTE FDD TDD R.11 Cat.6 with 2x20 CA. C2K SRLTE. L+W DSDS support
- Connectivity: WiFiac/abgn (with MT6630). GPS/Glonass/Beidou/BT/FM.
- Audio: 110db SNR & -95db THD
It's interesting to see SoC makers experiment with less complex CPU designs after a generation of multi-cluster (big.LITTLE) SoCs, as even the current flagship Qualcomm SoC, the Snapdragon 820, has reverted to a straight quad-core design. The P20 is expected to be in shipping devices by the second half of 2016, and we will see how this configuration performs once some devices using this new P20 SoC are in the wild.

TSMC Allegedly Wants 5nm by 2020
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | January 19, 2016 - 11:38 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: TSMC
Digitimes is reporting on statements that were allegedly made by TSMC co-CEO, Mark Liu. We are currently seeing 16nm parts come out of the foundry, which is expected to be used in the next generation of GPUs, replacing the long-running 28nm node that launched with the GeForce GTX 680. (It's still unannounced whether AMD and NVIDIA will use 14nm FinFET from Samsung or GlobalFoundries, or 16nm FinFET from TSMC.)
Update (Jan 20th, @4pm EST): Couple minor corrections. Radeon HD 7970 launched at 28nm first by a couple of months. I just remember NVIDIA getting swamped in delays because it was a new node, so that's probably why I thought of the GTX 680. Also, AMD announced during CES that they will use GlobalFoundries to fab their upcoming GPUs, which I apparently missed. We suspect that NVIDIA will use TSMC, and have assumed that for a while, but it hasn't been officially announced yet (if ever).
According to their projections, which (again) are filtered through Digitimes, the foundry expects to have 7nm in the first half of 2018. They also expect to introduce extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography methods with 5nm in 2020. Given that Silicon in a solid has a lattice spacing of ~0.54nm at room temperature, 7nm transistors will consist of about 13 atoms, and 5nm transistors will have features containing about 9 atoms.
We continue the march toward the end of silicon lithography.
Even if the statement is correct, much can happen between then and now. It wouldn't be the first time that I've seen a major foundry believe that a node would be available, but end up having it delayed. I wouldn't hold my breath, but I might cross my fingers if my hands were free.
At the very least, we can assume that TSMC's roadmap is 16nm, 10nm, 7nm, and then 5nm.
Rumors Surrounding the LG NUCLUN 2 SoC
Subject: Processors, Mobile | December 1, 2015 - 07:30 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: TSMC, SoC, LG, Intel, arm
So this story came out of nowhere. Whether the rumors are true or false, I am stuck on how everyone seems to be talking about it with a casual deadpan. I spent a couple hours Googling whether I missed some big announcement that made Intel potentially fabricating ARM chips a mundane non-story. Pretty much all that I found was Intel allowing Altera to make FPGAs with embedded ARM processors in a supporting role, which is old news.
Image Credit: Internet Memes...
The rumor is that Intel and TSMC were both vying to produce LG's Nuclon 2 SoC. This part is said to house two quad-core ARM modules in a typical big.LITTLE formation. Samples were allegedly produced, with Intel's part (2.4 GHx) being able to clock around 300 MHz faster than TSMC's offering (2.1 GHz). Clock rate is highly dependent upon the "silicon lottery," so this is an area that production maturity can help with. Intel's sample would also be manufactured at 14nm (versus 16nm from TSMC although these numbers mean less than they used to). LG was also, again allegedly, interesting in Intel's LTE modem. According to the rumors, LG went with TSMC because they felt Intel couldn't keep up with demand.
Now that the rumor has been reported... let's step back a bit.
I talked with Josh a couple of days ago about this post. He's quite skeptical (as I am) about the whole situation. First and foremost, it takes quite a bit of effort to port a design to a different manufacturing process. LG could do it, but it is questionable, especially for a second chip ever sort of thing. Moreover, I still believe that Intel doesn't want to manufacture chips that directly compete with them. x86 in phones is still not a viable business, but Intel hasn't given up and you would think that's a prerequisite.
So this whole thing doesn't seem right.

Apple Dual Sources A9 SOCs with TSMC and Samsung: Some Extra Thoughts
Subject: Processors | September 30, 2015 - 09:55 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: TSMC, Samsung, FinFET, apple, A9, 16 nm, 14 nm
So the other day the nice folks over at Chipworks got word that Apple was in fact sourcing their A9 SOC at both TSMC and Samsung. This is really interesting news on multiple fronts. From the information gleaned the two parts are the APL0898 (Samsung fabbed) and the APL1022 (TSMC).
These process technologies have been in the news quite a bit. As we well know, it has been a hard time for any foundry to go under 28 nm in an effective way if your name is not Intel. Even Intel has had some pretty hefty issues with their march to sub 32 nm parts, but they have the resources and financial ability to push through a lot of these hurdles. One of the bigger problems that affected the foundries was the idea that they could push back FinFETs beyond what they were initially planning. The idea was to hit 22/20 nm and use planar transistors and push development back to 16/14 nm for FinFET technology.
The Chipworks graphic that explains the differences between Samsung's and TSMC's A9 products.
There were many reasons why this did not work in an effective way for the majority of products that the foundries were looking to service with a 22/20 nm planar process. Yes, there were many parts that were fabricated using these nodes, but none of them were higher power/higher performance parts that typically garner headlines. No CPUs, no GPUs, and only a handful of lower power SOCs (most notably Apple's A8, which was around 89 mm squared and consumed up to 5 to 10 watts at maximum). The node just did not scale power very effectively. It provided a smaller die size, but it did not increase power efficiency and switching performance significantly as compared to 28 nm high performance nodes.
The information Chipworks has provided also verifies that Samsung's 14 nm FF process is more size optimized than TSMC's 16 nm FF. There was originally some talk about both nodes being very similar in overall transistor size and density, but Samsung has a slightly tighter design. Neither of them are smaller than Intel's latest 14 nm which is going into its second generation form. Intel still has a significant performance and size advantage over everyone else in the field. Going back to size we see the Samsung chip is around 96 mm square while the TSMC chip is 104.5 mm square. This is not huge, but it does show that the Samsung process is a little tighter and can squeeze more transistors per square mm than TSMC.
In terms of actual power consumption and clock scaling we have nothing to go on here. The chips are both represented in the 6S and 6S+. Testing so far has not shown there to be significant differences between the two SOCs so far. In theory one could be performing better than the other, but in reality we have not tested these chips at a low enough level to discern any major performance or power issue. My gut feeling here is that Samsung's process is more mature and running slightly better than TSMC's, but the differences are going to be minimal at best.
The next piece of info that we can glean from this is that there just isn't enough line space for all of the chip companies who want to fabricate their parts with either Samsung or TSMC. From a chip standpoint a lot of work has to be done to port a design to two different process nodes. While 14 and 16 are similar in overall size and the usage of FinFETS, the standard cells and design libraries for both Samsung and TSMC are going to be very different. It is not a simple thing to port over a design. A lot of work has to be done in the design stage to make a chip work with both nodes. I can tell you that there is no way that both chips are identical in layout. It is not going to be a "dumb port" where they just adjust the optics with the same masks and magically make these chips work right off the bat. Different mask sets for each fab, verification of both designs, and troubleshooting the yields by metal layer changes will be different for each manufacturer.
In the end this means that there just simply was not enough space at either TSMC or Samsung to handle the demand that Apple was expecting. Because Apple has deep pockets they contracted out both TSMC and Samsung to produce two very similar, but still different parts. Apple also likely outbid and locked down what availability to process wafers that Samsung and TSMC have, much to the dismay of other major chip firms. I have no idea what is going on in the background with people like NVIDIA and AMD when it comes to line space for manufacturing their next generation parts. At least for AMD it seems that their partnership with GLOBALFOUNDRIES and their version of 14 nm FF is having a hard time taking off. Eventually more space will be made in production and yields and bins will improve. Apple will stop taking up so much space and we can get other products rolling off the line. In the meantime, enjoy that cutting edge iPhone 6S/+ with the latest 14/16 nm FF chips.

I run cross-country for my school, and I made varisty and ran 5K. I improved a lot over the course of the season, with my PR being 24.11 minutes. (This was my 2nd year of running but my 1st year of high school.) I want to lower my time to a 21 or 22 minute 5K. Are long runs over the summer all I need to do to get better?
I'd do a steady diet of 400's and 800's once a week in your off-season and pre-season training. Speedwork is essential at those distances and your goal race pace being ran at those distances in repeats. It can be done with consistent running, smart training, and don't forget out recovery being just as important as the running is.
Try doing 400's up to 2/3's or up to a full race distance. Basically 12-400's and a 200 to finish it would be your full race distance.
Rick Karboviak, CSCS
I agree.....speed work is essential, especially for improving on a 5K.

In 1981, a wealthy New York businessman named Gene Lang told a class of sixth graders in Harlem that he'd help pay for their college education if they made it through high school.
The spirit of giving had come over him suddenly, he later explained, and he'd made the commitment "on impulse." Well, that spontaneous classroom moment led to the creation of the I Have A Dream Foundation, which has helped pay the college costs for 15,000 children around the world.
It also set off a chain of events five years later when Harry Reasoner interviewed Lang about his charity on 60 Minutes. As it turned out, another wealthy businessman, Paul Tudor Jones, happened to be watching that episode of 60 Minutes on television -- and it changed his life.
"Well, the second that program finished, I picked up the phone," Tudor Jones recalls. "I called Gene Lang. And I said I want to do what you're doing."
Inspired by Lang's generosity, Tudor Jones started the Robin Hood Foundation in 1988, a charity that fights poverty using not only cash, but also the business analytics Tudor Jones learned on Wall Street.
Now a billionaire, Tudor Jones and his ground-breaking charity, Robin Hood, are the subject of another 60 Minutes report, this time reported by Scott Pelley.

I have a circuit that I believe will work, but I was hoping someone could double check?
In my circuit, I use a MOSFET, a photo-interrupter, a CVCC, several resistors, a battery, and an LED.
The load has a resistance about 2.525Ω
Assuming that the CVCC is required, would my circuit work?
Also, the purpose of this circuit is switching. When the photo-interrupter beam is intact, the load gets no current. When the beam is broken, the load gets current. Or, that's the idea here.
Changed freewheeling diode to Shottky diode as suggested.

Day 4: Picketing Sprint
posted by August 22 at 12:50 PMon
On Tuesday I got an e-mail from a frustrated Sprint customer who hasn't received a $30 rebate that was due four months ago. Sam promised the company that if it didn't cough up the cash, he'd take to the streets. But Sam was way too busy teaching science at the Pacific Science Center to picket the downtown Sprint store. He needed someone to make a creative sign, yell, and air his grievance to all. He also needed a turkey club; light on the mayo, pickles on the side.
I bought Sam's sandwich from a colorful looking hoagie place at Westlake Center and a Mrs. Fields cookie for dessert and delivered them to him at the Pacific Science Center.
Then I rode the monorail back and got to work crafting a sign. I couldn't settle on one slogan so I wrote down two: "GIVE SAM HIS REBATE, SPRINT!" and "SPRINT OWES SAM $30.00!"
I stood outside the store and began chanting: "2, 4, 6, 8, Give Sam Goldberg His Rebate"
After about five minutes, a man who looked to be the manager came up to me and told me that I couldn't hold the sign in front of the store because the sign had Sprint's name on it. I thanked him and put my sign down. After he left I picked up the sign and continued to chant. Shoppers stared back at me with blank expressions.
A minute or two later another Sprint employee came out of the store and asked me how much money her company owed me. I pointed to my sign and told her Sprint owed my friend Sam $30. She giggled and took a picture of me with her camera phone.
According to Aaron Caplan at the ACLU, I had every right to be on that sidewalk and to carry a sign with Sprint's name on it. "So long as you're not preventing people from entering the business," Caplan says, "you have a constitutional right to be on the sidewalk." When I called the Seattle Police Department, they backed up the ACLU.
Today I called the Sprint store and asked to speak to the manager. I asked him why he tried to put a stop to my constitutionally protected protest and he told me that he did not wish to comment. I also asked him when Sam Goldberg would receive his rebate and he told Sam to go to the Sprint store where he bought his phone.
As of 11:45 this morning, Sam has still not received his rebate, nor has he been contacted by Sprint. If he does not receive his rebate in a week, I will picket the Sprint store again.

Bougatsa (Greek Cream-Filled Phyllo Pastries)
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 18 mins
You can buy these at every corner bakery in Greece and there are other, smaller shops that specialize in this pastry as well, so we don't actually have to make our own. This recipe is from when I lived in Canada and HAD to have one! This looks like a long recipe, but it really isn't. I just gave very detailed instructions on how to fold the pastry up properly to enclose the custard filling.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole milk
- 1⁄4 cup semolina (farina)
- 1⁄2 cup butter, cut into bits
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 lemon, zest of
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 -10 phyllo pastry, thawed, covered with dampened towel
- 1⁄2 cup butter, melted
- icing sugar
- cinnamon
- Beat eggs until frothy; beat in sugar until thick and foamy, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat milk in medium pot until hot but not boiling.
- Remove from heat and whisk into egg mixture in a thin stream until all the milk mixture is used up – never stop whisking.
- Pour custard mixture back into pot and set on medium-low heat; cook, stirring constantly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gradually sprinkle in semolina, letting it flow out of your hand in a thin stream; add a pinch of salt.
- Reduce heat to very low, cook, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth, about 5-6 minutes. Whisk in pieces of cut up butter, incorporating completely into the semolina custard.
- Remove, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard and cool completely.
- When cool, stir in juice, lemon zest and vanilla.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Unroll one sheet of phyllo, keeping remainder covered with dampened kitchen towel.
- Place on a work surface, with narrow end facing you.
- Brush lightly with melted butter.
- Place 3 tbsp of custard on lower 1/3 of phyllo.
- Using a thin, flexible spatula, spread custard into a wide rectangle, approximately 10x5 inches, nearly covering lower third of phyllo.
- Fold right and left sides of phyllo towards center so that edges just meet; lightly brush folded sides with butter.
- Fold lower third up and brush with butter.
- Fold upper third down and brush with butter.
- It should now look like an envelope.
- Place on a lightly buttered baking sheet and repeat envelope-making procedure 7-9 more times (depending on how many bougatsa you are making).
- Brush tops of bougatsa with any remaining butter and bake until golden-brown, about 15-18 minutes.
- Let cool 20 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, dusted with icing sugar (you should see a coating of the icing sugar) and cinnamon.

I love this greek pastry recipe! I used half and half in place of whole milk and increased the sugar just slightly, thanks for sharing this great recipe Ev!...Kitten:)
Wow!! I must say, I was afraid to make this recipe, it is only the second time I have ever worked with Phyllo and I was unsure of my abilities LOL! It turned out to be a delicious and easy recipe to make, and they came together great. I love the hint of lemon. I have never tried Bougatsa before and it was a taste treat. I will be making these again! Thanks for a great recipe Ev!
EXCELLENT~ Really the BEST GREEK BOUGATSA I have ever made. This currently replaces my recipe! I actually made it in a pan and cut prior to baking! Very aromatic custard filling ~ Thanks for sharing a delicious recipe Ev.!

Who's Watching? Brave New Technology, Same Old Fears
In 1990, my father and pregnant mother packed up their life in suburban Illinois, bundled their four young children (including me) onto a plane, and landed in Romania to teach on a grant at the University of Bucharest.
The country was in the throes of revolution following the execution of ousted dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, and the transfer of power was by no means tidy or complete. The Securitate — one of the most brutal secret police forces in the world — proved difficult to shut down. All our neighbors operated under the assumption that their every move continued to be watched (one friend had taken apart his typewriter by hand and hid it so he could answer honestly that he did not keep a typewriter in the house). Being American, my parents were told to expect our apartment to be bugged.
Freedom had come, but the systems of omnipresent control proved psychologically hard to shake.
The specter of surveillance is an insidious tool. In the 1790s, British philosoper Jeremy Bentham developed a centralized prison model called the panopticon, in which every occupant is visible to a single guard. Most models, since adapted by prisons and schools around the world, leave open the possibility that there is no supervisor watching after all. Whether there is isn't the point — the mere promise of one is enough to coerce significant behavior change. Being constantly observable is the trap.
These days, Americans don't need a formative year spent in post-soviet Romania to feel uneasy about omnipresent surveillance. Edward Snowden's revelations of massive secret surveillance programs operating under the NSA, with enormous access to private data from citizens not suspected of terrorism or criminal wrongdoing, rocked our understandings of data privacy and civil liberty. Now, as then, it's reasonable to worry that we're being watched.
And if it's not the state watching us, it's corporations after our money. Uber tracks our movements and fires drivers for sharing links to bad reviews on their personal media, unless it doesn't. Facebook uses emotional manipulation to collect behavioral data, but insists it's no big deal. Google compiles secret profiles through wiretapping but swears it would never.
So are we being watched or aren't we? And do we care?

"Nambour" Top 5 Page for this destination Nambour by al2401
Nambour Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 64 photos
Nambour is a town of almost 10,000 people situated about 100 km north of Brisbane. It is in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. Once the administrative centre and capital of Maroocy Shire it is now the seat of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. The name is derived from 'naamba' - the Aboriginal word for the local red flowering bottlebrush trees or Callistemon
The area was first settled in 1870 and was known as Petrie's Creek. The name was changed to Nambour in 1891.
Nambour became the central and mill town for the regional sugar industry and was well known for the cane train tracks running along the main street. The tracks were part of the Moreton Central Sugar Mill Cane Tramway which extended from Nabour to Coolum servicing the cane farms and at one stage providing transport to passengers. The mill ceased operation in 2003. One of the locomotives and various equipment is on show at the Nambour Historical Museum.
Nambour was on the Bruce Highway but was bypassed in 1990 due to the concerns of large road transport travelling through the town centre.
Nambour is the home of the Queensland Garden Expo which is held in July each year - it draws large crowds.
The town is a quiet place to stay while visiting the Sunshine Coast and is in the centre of the area.

Hey community,
some days ago my squid crashed. I'm running squid 2.6 STABLE21 on CentOS. The output of the "show squid status" command is just
squid dead but pid file exists
starting the service displayed an "OK" but trying to stop the squid failed. The weird thing is, that the squid service is not listed in the "Task-Manager"
So I deleted the /var/run/squid.pid file and tried to restart the service, but I got the following message after executing the command:
squid: ERROR: Could not send signal 0 to process 3618: (3) No such process
Even restarting the system after that changed nothing.
Also I found some interesting stuff in the /var/log/squid/cache.log
2013/08/20 07:57:43| /var/spool/squid/swap.state: (30) Read-only file system FATAL: storeAufsDirOpenSwapLog: Failed to open swap log. Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE21): Terminated abnormally
I didn't change anything recently. Why is that a Read-only file system now? How do i change the filesystem to read and write access?
I really hope these error messages make sense to someone of you. Any help will be highly appreciated!

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Fire destroys home in ChittendenBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 06,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
CHITTENDEN — Heavy dark smoke covered a single-family home on Holden Road late Wednesday morning as local firefighters worked to douse flames that had spread to the attic.
Several firefighter teams used long prods and saws to make various holes throughout the house to allow smoke to exit the house while they worked to find flames and hot spots throughout.
A firefighter on the scene said the house is a total loss.
Firefighters from five towns – Chittenden, Pittsford, Brandon, Proctor, Rutland Town and West Rutland – responded to the scene around 10 a.m.
Paul Crain, who rents the house with his girlfriend and three kids, said he had just arrived home after dropping his girlfriend off at work when he noticed the smoke.
"I came in the door and whoosh (the smoke)," he said while looking at firefighters dousing the home. "I went through the smoke and grabbed my dog and got out."
Crain said nobody was home when it started, but said the flames were coming from the basement.
As of 1:45 p.m. the cause of the fire is unknown.MORE IN This Just In

Wine Maker Notes
Beautifully dense deep purple color, and a classic cassis nose with notes of black pepper, cherry liqueur, rose petal and vanilla make for a very refined and seductive first impression. On the palate the flavor is mouth filling but nuanced, with a pleasant astringency. The tannins are fine and the finish is quite refreshing, yet long and multi-layered, beginning with black currant and ending with red cherry and pepper. It is already destined to be one of the better wines from this historic vineyard.This wine was blended and bottled by David Ramey and Randall Watkins, from the wine left in barrel by the previous team of Ray Kaufmann and Patrick Campbell. The remarkable quality of this wine shows the promise of what is to come from Laurel Glen Vineyard.

Hi KwarK,
at first: you are awesome! I waited so long for a plugin like this!
But I have some Problems. I made a big stream overview and set the Cache to 5. I dont know why but if I add too many streams on a single page then twitch will block the content (too many querys)
Here is my homepage, then you know what I mean - http://www.castjunkies.com
I always retrieve the message:
Warning: file_get_contents(http://api.justin.tv/api/stream/list.json?channel=CHANGED) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /www/htdocs/w00e9099/blog/video/wp-content/plugins/livetv-bundle/page-frontend/page-livetreams.php on line 341
Line 341 is:
$json_file = file_get_contents("$base_url", 0, null, null);
So my question: is it possible to add a pagination? So you can show (e.g.) 10 Streams per page.
Or are there any other solutions? I want to make a big stream overview but twitch wont allow me so many "content querys".
I also read your posts on - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-livetv-bundle-warning-after-install?replies=5. But offline caster always get an empty api content ( [] ).
I know its a free plugin mate, but it would be really awesome if you would have any solutions for my problems! Would apreciate it! Thanks alot!
Thats what my site should looks like later: http://www.gamestreams.com.
Best regards, Sascha

Prof Degli Innocenti - Prima della pausa est
Did you know that starlings can vocalize like parrots. Apparently they have been know to imitate everything from car alarms to human speech.
I regularly look for Paizo artists. I love Pathfinder's ruleset and the art is always amazing, so it's wonderful to see the rest of the artist's repertoire. I have to say - your gallery does not disappoint. In your artwork, I have found some of my favorite illustrations of the iconic characters. Seltyiel and Feiya, in particular, are beyond perfection.
Awesome stuff!
I know you probably get this all the time but your artwork is really amazing, same with your photography, it's really diverse and compelling, I like it a lot, and though is may sound odd but by chance do you do commissions at all? if not then that's okay thought I should ask, it's kind of for a book I'm working on called Blood King. You may like it, if you want I can send you a link to the story (it's on DA)
Bravo! Another one of my favorite Paizo/Pathfinder bestiary/AP artists! So many good works you have! (love that Seoni!)
If I remember correctly you also did the Erlking for pathfinders Bestiary 4? Is there a possibility you could put that awesome artwork online in your collection so we all can see the full 100% version? (The bestiary 4 cut one of its awesome feather wings in half and it was such a beautiful picture!)
Thanks anyway for your amazing work! Really awesome and I hope to see more awesomeness from your fingers in future bestiaries and Paizo products! Keep it up!
Wow, thanks for the compliments! Yes, the Erlking is mine, I will put it online as soon as I get my copy of the book (it's a rule I follow so I'm completely sure I'm not breaking any rule on the contract), should be any day now, once you see the complete version you'll realize his wings are not made of simple feathers Thanks again!
That would be awesome! Thanks! Can't wait to see the full glory of the pic!
I know the feathers are made from autumn-leaves, that is what made the picture even cooler!
But it is by far the best picture i've ever seen of the Erking folklore!
And I was one of the people that wished for an Erlking in bestiary 4 on Paizo's forums, so i'm really happy how it turned out!

Read an Excerpt
The Three Habits of Highly Contagious ChristiansA Discussion Guide for Small Groups
By Garry Poole
ZondervanCopyright © 2003 Willow Creek Association
All right reserved.
Chapter OneSESSION 1
Building Relationships with Seekers
Jeff and I are next-door neighbors. When he and his family moved in about a year ago, my wife and I went over to welcome them to the neighborhood.
At first, that was the extent of our interaction since my time was limited and I really didn't want to add any more people to my already full life. I was very involved with the guys in my small group Bible study, I played in a church basketball league every Monday night with my four closest friends, and my wife and I socialized on a regular basis with the Christian couple across the street. Besides, it was obvious from the start that Jeff and I had different sets of values and morals. So I was reluctant to complicate my life with someone who was the polar opposite of everything I was or wanted to be and assumed our differences would make things awkward.
Unbelievably, that has all changed. One day, I decided to start praying for Jeff on a regular basis, and to my surprise, I found myself viewing him as someone who really matters to God-and to me. I began looking for ways to reach out and to get to know him better, and eventually got to the point where I started to genuinely care about the guy.
To top it off, I discovered that we had lots of things in common after all. We both follow sports pretty closely, so it was natural for us to get tickets to the Bears games at Soldier Field. When one of us needed help with a project around the house, the other was right there to pitch in. Now, whether it's a neighborhood block party, the Fourth of July, or just a picnic in the backyard, somehow we wind up together. We sincerely enjoy hanging out with each other, and I feel we have a pretty solid friendship. I can't get over how helpful Jeff has been to my family and me. When we're away on vacation or a business trip, he mows the lawn, grabs the mail, and checks on the house for us. And I can't count how many times this past winter I've come home late to find Jeff shoveling my driveway.
Early on in our friendship, Jeff confided in me that he was struggling in his job and was looking to make a change. Without hesitation, I gave Jeff a small clue about my relationship with God by letting him know I'd pray for him and his situation. When he ended up landing the job he'd been hoping for, he made a joke about my "special connection upstairs." That's when I gently inquired about any "connections" he had with God and confirmed that, although Jeff and his wife attend church from time to time, they probably were not Christians. We would, however, talk about spiritual issues occasionally, and I looked forward to those opportunities.
One such discussion went on late into the night after dinner at his house. Jeff's wife, Amy, concluded our dialogue with an amazing challenge. She said she'd recently wanted to get a Bible study started in our neighborhood, but hadn't felt that she or anyone she knew could lead it. She wondered out loud if my wife and I would consider doing such a thing. "Maybe," I calmly replied as my heart pounded. I couldn't believe my own ears!
Yesterday, I was cutting the grass in my backyard when Jeff suddenly appeared out of nowhere and signaled me to cut the engine. He had just gotten off the phone with a cousin who had been hounding him to no end about Christianity. After declining an invitation to attend church for the umpteenth time, Jeff had received some "inside information" about me, his friendly neighbor! I wondered where in the world he was going with this. "My cousin told me you go to the same church he does," Jeff explained, "and since we're neighbors, he's hoping that maybe you'll be the one to finally convert me." Thud. I felt like crawling into a hole.
Jeff just stood there with eyebrows raised, waiting for my reaction. I frantically tried to smooth things over by explaining that I wasn't really trying to "convert" Jeff, but was simply open to talking with him about something that has come to mean so much to me. He turned to walk away, and I feared the worst. But then Jeff stopped and slowly turned with a smile.
"So, man ... am I your church project or your friend?"
But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. Having thus a fond affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us. 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8
Open for Discussion
1. Share the first name of a spiritual seeker (nonbeliever) you know fairly well. What is your relationship like? If you are unable to identify someone in your world who's seeking, what's something you could do to change that? 2. What motivates you to initiate and build friendships with seekers?
What are the greatest obstacles that hinder the development of these friendships?
3. What fears and concerns do you suppose seekers might have about being friends with Christians? (Come up with as many of these fears and concerns as you can.)
4. Keeping the fears and concerns you just identified in mind, what might a seeker need from you to ensure that the relationship is going to be a safe one?
How would you rate your ability to create a safe context for such a relationship?
5. Read 1 Corinthians 9:19, 22-23. A basic ingredient to building meaningful relationships with seekers is a growing level of trust within those friendships. What can you do to build bridges of trust within the context of growing friendships with your seeking friends?
What could dismantle the bridges of trust between you and seekers?

34 Couples Got Married During Macklemore And Ryan Lewis' Grammys Performance
Queen Latifah officiated the weddings, which included same-sex couples, during the pair's gay rights anthem, "Same Love." Lewis' sister was among the people who got married.
1. Four-time Grammy winner Macklemore performed "Same Love" with Ryan Lewis at the Grammys Sunday.
2. It's his song about letting people love who they want to love, even if they're gay, and it turned into a gay rights anthem after its release in 2012.
3. They were joined by Mary Lambert, who sings the song's hook and who wrote it about her longtime girlfriend.
4. Then 34 couples got married, some of whom were same-sex couples.
5. Queen Latifah officiated the weddings.
6. And then Madonna came out to perform "Open Your Heart" after rings were exchanged.
7. Lewis said after the performance that his sister was one of the people who got married during the ceremony.
Earlier in the day he told the New York Times the ceremony "will be in our minds the ultimate statement of equality, that all the couples are entitled to the same exact thing."
8. "This isn't about TV and ratings," Queen Latifah said after the weddings. While some — including at BuzzFeed — were talking about Latifah, she directed attention to others.
"It meant a lot because two of them were friends of mine… Everybody should get to fall in love with someone and build a life," she said.
9. Here's video of the whole thing:
- Hillary Clinton's campaign was reportedly hacked as part of what appears to be a broad cyber attack on Democrats.
- A federal court struck down North Carolina's voting restrictions, ruling they intentionally made it harder for black people to vote.
- Four people in Florida are likely the first to contract the Zika virus from mosquitos in the US, the state's governor says.

Yalumba Barossa Bush Grenache
In stock,
A delicious bottle Yalumba Barossa Bush Grenache red wine in a personalised case!
Make your gift extra special and design your own luxury wooden case with your name or text. We have a large selection of wines. You will be sure to find a delicious bottle of wine for every lucky recipient here. A choice to fit every taste!
Name: Yalumba Barossa Bush Vine Grenache
Country of origin: Australia
Type of wine: Red wine
Grape: 100% Grenache, 70 year old Bush Vine vines
Characteristics: A prominent wine of the Australian bush!
A wine coming from grape vines as old as these has a story to tell from a long time ago. This translates itself in a deep red colour with a purple lining, mixed with the aromas of herbs, pepper, black fruits and bramble. A rustic wine, tough and rural like the country itself.
A flavoursome suggestion
If we look at the country itself, we see a fine combination of meat and wild game. Or it can be enjoyed whilst relaxing with a nice glass of wine and a fine cheese from the countryside.
About this wine
Australia is what we may call a 'young' country, but don't be mistaken because this wine was 'founded' in 1849, when the British Samuel Smith decided to go big and bought at least 30 acres of ground and planted his first grapes.
Samuel called his land 'Yalumba', that means so much as 'all the land around' in the Aboriginal language. Six generations onward and more than 160 year later, the Yalumba winery is the oldest wine company in Australia and has grown out to be one of the bigger names considering status and quality.

Shelter from the Storm
|"Shelter from the Storm"
|Song by Bob Dylan from the album Blood on the Tracks
|January 1975
|September 17, 1974 at A&R Recording in New York City
|Folk rock
|Bob Dylan
|Bob Dylan
|Blood on the Tracks track listing
"Shelter from the Storm" is a song by Bob Dylan, released on his 15th studio album, Blood on the Tracks, in 1975.
Along with "Tangled Up in Blue", "Shelter from the Storm" was one of two songs from Blood on the Tracks to be re-released on the 2000 compilation The Essential Bob Dylan. The song also appears on two live albums by Bob Dylan — Hard Rain (from a May 1976 performance) and At Budokan (recorded in February 1978).
A first take of the song, from the same recording session that produced the album track, is featured in the soundtrack of the 1996 film Jerry Maguire. This outtake was also included on The Best of Bob Dylan, Vol. 1 (1997).
Further appearances are in the Alias episode "Trust Me", the Criminal Minds episode "The Instincts", the FlashForward episode "Believe",[1] and the movies Warm Bodies, St. Vincent, and Steve Jobs. The Criminal Minds episode also includes several notations about Dylan, and the quote, "I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay," is read by the fictional character Spencer Reid (played by Matthew Gray Gubler).[2] The song also appeared in the Numb3rs second season finale, "Hot Shot".
The song has been covered by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, released on their 1996 studio album Soft Vengeance. Jimmy Lafave recorded the song on his 1992 live record Austin Skyline. The song has also been covered by jazz singer Cassandra Wilson on Belly of the Sun.
Soul Flower Union as 嵐からの隠れ家 (Arashi kara no Kakurega) covered the song on their 2002 studio album Love ± Zero.
In 2006, English singer-songwriter Steve Adey reinterpreted the song, slowing it down to a funeral pace. Adey's version made The Times top songs of 2006.[3]
The song is used in the movie, including as the ending credits theme Steve Jobs (2015 film).

Jessica Szohr Explains Her Sometimes Mysterious Hair on Gossip Girl
Daily Intel: asking the hard questions.
Don't blame Jessica Szohr for her hairstyling missteps as Vanessa Abrams on Gossip Girl. The 24-year-old isn't in control of her hair destiny. "They cut my hair when I first got here and it was shorter — the shortest I ever had it, and I had to get used to that," she told us last night at a Vogue Eyewear celebrity styling event at Bloomingdale's. "When I'm on set and doing that, it's about what's good for her and right for her." Which explains why she was helpless against her own better judgment when she was forced to wear an Elvira-inspired do for a recent promo picture. "I think they just used a bunch of long extensions and just curled it and curled the top to have volume," she explained, adding that a Bumpit was not required, even though the picture looked like at least four were stuffed inside her locks. "It was pretty simple and easy how they did it. I'm actually kinda shocked." But don't expect to see her on the red carpet with this style. "Personally, would I do that? Probably not. But it was Vanessa, and she's a little bit funkified," she said. "I mean, it was definitely for a certain occasion. I don't know if I would do it personally. I would have to do it messy in jeans and a T-shirt or something." Which is when we reminded her that this look certainly isn't casual.

Adam Dunnett, 37, a Flaxmere constable, has gone on trial
today in the Napier District Court.
He faces 10 counts of indecent assault while a volunteer
lifeguard director at Ocean Beach.
Dunnett denies all the charges, alleged to have occurred
between May 20, 2011 and the early hours of New Year's Day,
All the incidents are alleged to have occurred during parties
where alcohol was consumed at the Ocean Beach Surf Life
Saving Club and the Taradale Fire Station.
Crown witness Adrian Barclay, a club committee member and
junior surf co-ordinator, said Dunnett had taken up a
coaching role at Ocean Beach 2010.
He said the police officer ran the surf squads "really well"
and was a "valuable contributor" to the club.
During cross examination, Dunnett's lawyer, Jonathan Krebs,
asked Mr Barclay about the "social elements" of the club.
"I would say it is one of the more social clubs in the Hawkes
Bay Area," said Mr Barclay.
He said since the alleged incidents occurred, a more
"stringent" alcohol policy had been implemented to prevent
underage drinking.
Crown prosecutor Gavin Thornton said Dunnett had asked a
complainant if "she was going to tell anyone".
Following a separate incident Mr Thornton said Dunnett told
two girls he was a police officer, they were drunk and
"no-one would believe them".
He said in total there were five different "events or
Dunnett is still employed with police but is currently
suspended on full pay.
The trial, before Judge Les Atkins QC, continues this

John Dudley's Bills-Browns notebook: Choice steps up big for Bills with Spiller out
CLEVELAND -- Tashard Choice entered the season as the Bills' No. 3 running back. He could be No. 1 this week.
With Fred Jackson out with a knee injury and C.J. Spiller going down early in Sunday's game against the Browns, Choice stepped into Buffalo's backfield and produced a workmanlike 91-yard rushing effort that helped the Bills emerge with a 24-14 win.
Unless Jackson is able to return this week, Choice will be the team's top runner Sunday, when the Bills host the New England Patriots in an AFC East showdown at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
"Great effort," Bills coach Chan Gailey said of Choice's performance against the Browns, his best since running for 100 yards for the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 5, 2010.
The Bills claimed Choice off waivers after the Washington Redskins cut him loose last November.
"I think we all knew what he brought to our football team," Gailey said. "Nobody else did because we've got two marquee guys. It's great to have a guy like that on your football team that can go in and play the way he played, run the football, protect the football on a wet day, and play special teams."
Gailey said he doesn't believe Spiller will be out for an extended period of time. And it's possible Jackson could play this week. But the Bills said they're comfortable going with Choice if need be.
"It was a heck of a job by Tashard to step in there and do what he did today," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "He ran really hard, and he had some really tough yards today. Hat's off to him, because he really helped us out after C.J. went down."
- Browns rookie receiver Travis Benjamin was a bright spot, catching two passes for 44 yards, including his first touchdown.
The score came when Benjamin slipped free on a double-move against zone coverage and hauled in a 22-yard throw from Brandon Weeden to draw the Browns within a field goal at 17-14 in the third quarter.
"Every week I'm getting more comfortable," Benjamin said.
- Spiller's 32-yard touchdown reception gave him a touchdown in six straight games, the longest streak by a Bills player since Thurman Thomas in 1990.
Spiller also became just the fourth player since 2000 to have 300 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the first three games of the season. The others: Thomas Jones, Edgerrin James and Tiki Barber.
Sunday's touchdown came on a short screen pass. Spiller peeled outside, then cut off a block downfield by guard Kraig Urbik and went untouched into the end zone.
"C.J. set up some blocks really nice," Fitzpatrick said. "But as we've seen this year and at the end of last year, when you get C.J. in space he's pretty special with the ball."
- Extra points: Browns running back Trent Richardson scored a touchdown for the second straight game. ... Browns tight end Jordan Cameron had five catches for 45 yards, both career highs. ... Fitzpatrick has eight touchdowns and hasn't had an interception since throwing three in the season-opening loss to the New York Jets.

Total Offers Urals Crude; Jubilee Field to Shut for Maintenance
Total SA failed to sell Russian Urals blend in the Mediterranean at a lower differential than yesterday. BP Plc withdrew its bid for North Sea Forties crude.
Ghana's Jubilee oil field will be shut for 21 days from Sept. 20, Tullow Oil Plc, the operator, said today in an e-mailed statement.
North Sea
BP earlier bid Forties for Sept. 22 to Sept. 25 loading at 80 cents a barrel more than Dated Brent, according to a Bloomberg survey of traders and brokers monitoring the Platts pricing window. The company bought two cargoes yesterday at premiums of 65 cents and $1.09 respectively.
Brent for October settlement traded at $111.78 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange at the close of the window, compared with $111.25 from the previous session. The November contract was at $110.55, a discount of $1.23 to October.
Corrosion was discovered at ConocoPhillips's Ekofisk field, Norway's Petroleum Safety Authority commented in an e-mail response to questions from Bloomberg News.
PSA has no information regarding Ekofisk production or of any shutdown, said Oyvind Midttun, a spokesman for the agency.
The Ekofisk field is producing as normal, Stig Kvendseth, a Conoco spokesman, said earlier today by e-mail. He didn't comment on corrosion.
