Microsoft has kept its promise, give or take an extra week. The firm has announced that the Surface Pro -- the Intel Core i5 and full Windows 8 Pro version of its Surface line -- will launch in the United States and Canada on February 9, 2013.
Microsoft's design language from the Surface RT carries over to the Surface Pro, but internally there are some crucial upgrades. First is the machine's non-ARM architecture, meaning it will run all Windows legacy apps. Unlike Windows RT, the Surface Pro ships with Windows 8 Pro installed, lending it more usability for consumers looking for a true tablet/laptop hybrid.
The Surface Pro will retail beginning at $899 for the 64GB model, and include a Surface pen with technology that ignores accidental palm touches. Consumers will be able to purchase the machine at Microsoftstore.com, Best Buy, Staples, and all Microsoft retail stores.
Microsoft has also expanded retail availability of the original Surface RT to Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, and select other countries.
I praised the Surface RT for being a wonderful reference design and for boasting one of the best displays on the market. If not for the lackluster software library, it would have become my primary tablet. This is one hurdle the Surface Pro won't be faced with.
Price may be a sticking point for some consumers, however. $899 buys you just the 64GB tablet; another $119 or so nets you the soft Touch Cover or more traditional Type Cover. Consider that you're effectively buying an ultrabook with a detachable tablet, though, and that price becomes much easier to swallow.
That being said, I question Microsoft's decision to not bundle one of the keyboard variants in their Surface Pro SKU. I can't think of a demographic wanting to purchase a standalone tablet for $899, when for just over $1000 the value proposition of an ultrabook/tablet hybrid seems so much more tantalizing. The true utility of the Surface model isn't realized until integrating it with the snap-on keyboards.
Have you been holding out for the Pro over the Surface RT? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

An Explanation of the Buddhist Way of Life
By Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
Also available as an audiobook on CD
These days, many people are developing an interest in Buddhism and meditation, in part because of its practical approach to the problems we experience in our daily lives, and also because Buddhism is an open, flexible faith that may be practiced by anyone, regardless of their ethnicity or religious background.
Buddhism teaches us to take responsibility for ourselves, our actions, and the consequences of our actions.
Through meditation we can follow the same path of inner transformation that Buddha followed and eventually attain a lasting inner peace and real power to benefit other living beings.
Introduction to Buddhism explains basic Buddhist view, intention, and action, and how to follow the Buddhist way of life in the modern world. It is the perfect manual for anyone with an interest in Buddhism and meditation.
"A brilliantly clear and concise introduction to this vast subject. Very highly recommended." — YOGA & HEALTH MAGAZINE

The Patience of not Retaliating
Patience, on the other hand, helps us in this life and in all future lives. As Shantideva says:
There is no evil like anger
And no virtue like patience.
With patience, we can accept any pain that is inflicted upon us and we can easily endure our usual troubles and indispositions. With patience, nothing upsets our peace of mind and we do not experience problems. With patience, we maintain an inner peace and tranquility that allows spiritual realizations to grow. Chandrakirti says that if we practise patience we will have a beautiful form in the future, and we will become a holy being with high realizations.
There are three types of patience:
1 The patience of not retaliating
2 The patience of voluntarily enduring suffering
3 The patience of definitely thinking about Dharma
The patience of not retaliating
To practise this type of patience, we need to remain continuously mindful of the dangers of anger and the benefits of patient acceptance, and, whenever anger is about to arise in our mind, we need immediately to apply the methods for eliminating it. We begin by learning to forbear small difficulties, such as insignificant insults or minor disruptions to our routine, and then gradually to improve our patience until we are able to forbear even the greatest difficulty without getting angry.
When we are meditating on patience, we can use many different lines of reasoning to help us overcome our tendency to retaliate. For example, we can contemplate that if someone were to hit us with a stick, we would not get angry with the stick, because it was being wielded by the attacker and had no choice.
In the same way, if someone insults us or harms us, we should not get angry with him, because he is being manipulated by his deluded minds and also has no choice. Similarly, we can think that just as a doctor does not get angry if a feverish patient lashes out at him, so we should not get angry if confused living beings, suffering from the sickness of the delusions, harm us in any way. There are many special lines of reasoning such as these to be found in Joyful Path of Good Fortune, Meaningful to Behold, and Transform Your Life.
The fundamental reason why we receive harm is that we have harmed others in the past. Those who attack us are merely the conditions whereby our karma ripens; the real cause of all the harm we receive is our own negativity. If, in such circumstances, we retaliate, we simply create more negative karma and so we will have to suffer even more harm in the future. If we patiently accept injury, however, we break the chain and that particular karmic debt is paid off

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Thanks to the generous support of the Egan Family, Harvard is pleased to announce the establishment of its 13th endowed position, the Ulen-Brooks Endowed Coach for Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving.
Charles J. Egan, Jr. '54, or Charlie, as he is known by his friends and family, and his son, Peter '86, both served as captains for the men's swimming and diving team during their senior season. The Egans are one of only two father-son teams to have captained the men's swim team. Charlie has continued to be involved with the swimming program since his graduation and has often traveled from his home in Kansas City, Kan., to meets across the country to show support.
The Egan family has endowed the position in honor of the first two men's swimming and diving coaches at Harvard, Harold S. Ulen and William J. Brooks. Ulen spent 27 seasons as head coach of the Crimson from 1930-59, posting an overall record of 239-47 while going 106-31 against Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League competition. Ulen guided Harvard to EISL Championships in 1937 and 1938, and a third-place finish at the 1938 NCAA Championships. Sixty-four student-athletes earned All-America accolades and four swimmers combined for six national championships under his tutelage.
Brooks took over in 1959 following Ulen's retirement and spent the next 12 seasons as Harvard's head coach. He guided the Crimson to an 87-34 overall mark, including a 61-33 record in the EISL, and in 1961-62 led Harvard to its first-ever Ivy League Championship. A total of 54 Crimson garnered All-Ivy honors and six earned All-America honors during his tenure.
"I would like to thank Charlie and Peter for their generous gift to Harvard," The Nichols Family Director of Athletics Bob Scalise said. "They both learned valuable lessons while participating on the swim team and wanted to ensure that future generations have that same experience."
Egan has been a member of the Harvard swimming and diving family since 1950 and earned three Major H's as a member of the varsity team. As a sophomore he set the program record in the 150 yard IM with a time of 1:48.8, only to see that time bested two weeks later. He qualified for the 1953 NCAA Championships as a junior where he placed 23rd in the 150 yard IM, and was also a member of the 400 yard freestyle relay team which placed third at that year's EISL Championships. Egan captained the 1953-54 squad as a senior, and earned his second trip to the NCAA Championships while leading the Crimson to a 9-1 overall record and 6-1 mark in the EISL.
At Harvard, Charlie has volunteered as a member of the Committee on University Resources since 1986, is a member of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Boston and New York Major Gifts Committees, the Harvard College Fund Council, the FAS Task Force for Undergraduate Experience, and is an Honorary Director of the HAA Board. Additionally, Charlie is a past president of the Harvard Club of Kansas City, recently completed a three-year term as co-chair of the Harvard College Fund Council, and served as co-chair for his 50th Reunion.
Peter was also a member of Harvard's swimming and diving team and captained the 1985-86 squad which won the EISL Championship and finished 16th at the NCAA Championships. Peter earned All-America honors in 1986 in the 200 yard butterfly and was a six-time EISL champion.
Tim D. Murphy, who is in his 14th season as head coach of Harvard men's swimming and diving, will have the honor of serving as the first Ulen-Brooks Head Coach for Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving. Murphy led the Crimson to six Ivy League Championships and a 107-9 record in his first 13 seasons. His student-athletes have garnered All-America honors in 22 individual events and four relays. He has been appointed as the head Olympic coach for the men's open water team for the 2012 Olympic Games, where he will coach 2010 Harvard graduate Alex Meyer, USA Swimming's 2011 Fran Crippen Memorial Male Open Water Swimmer of the Year.
"When I was hired 14 years ago, Charlie called me and welcomed me into the Harvard family," Murphy said. "Charlie and the entire Egan family mean a great deal to the Harvard swimming community and very proud to be the first person to hold the position they have endowed."

No, that isn't an acronym for a new std.
It's the ultimate turkey day dessert.
(Ew. I'm apologizing now if those two sentences together were kind of gross or offended you, my reader. It's best never to compare food to any type of bodily function or issue. Strike that from the record.)
I've been dying to make salted caramel, anything salted caramel. I've also been itching to buy a few ounces of fleur de sel. Fleur de sel translated is simply flower of salt. Hand harvested, the salt is scraped from the top of salt pans before it sinks to the bottom. It is primarily collected in France but flor de sal is also available and is harvested in Portugal. I was lucky enough to come across Fleur de Sel de Guérande, which is found in salt marsh water in France and is apparently the most revered. It was a must, for thanksgiving I decided it was time to try my hand at this confection known as salted caramel. Unfortunately, now that I know how insanely easy it is I'm not sure I'm going to be able to stop myself from gorging on it. Gooey, sweet, slightly toasty, with crystals of tart, salty fleur de sel hiding throughout? Ooooooh. Since making and enjoying it, I'll lay in bed at night and imagine all the various things I could do with salted caramel. My next salted caramel project will be a cupcake I think. Perhaps I will celebrate my last week of fall quarter with a batch.
I adapted my recipe from the amazing post over at baking obsession.
Here is the link: http://www.bakingobsession.com/2008/11/24/milk-chocolate-and-salted-caramel-tart/#more-578
I played with the recipe a bit, but the biggest (yet smallest) difference was I topped my tart with a creamy layer of whipped honey cream.
I highly suggest giving the recipe a try, though it may take you hours (or days if you do ahead) to prepare.

tuesday morning.
Last year around this time I wrote a few posts raving about sweet meat squash. I'm not sure if it's only grown locally or if it's available in other parts of the country. I've tried googling it with less than stellar results, what turns up are sweet recipes for meat. But nothing about the squash. The point is, I've already written about it, at lengths I believe, because it was the first squash I ever liked eating. I was opposed to squash as a kid. I loathed it. I refused to eat it. I even hated sweet potatoes (yes, even the marshmallow kind at Thanksgiving). Remembering how much I hated it as a child, made me skeptical to try it as an adult. But, for some reason sweet meat drew me in, maybe it was it's gorgeous deep orange colored meat, or pretty light blue skin. Once I tried it, I was hooked. I ended up using it in several dishes last year and found myself sad to see it go in the spring. Last night was my first time buying a hunk of it this year. I roasted small chunks in the oven with olive oil, rosemary and thyme. I then mixed most of the squash with some smart pasta, roasted red peppers, isnerios italian chicken sausage and pecorino. Really simple, but soul meltingly good. Now that mind sound a bit extreme, but it really was. The flavors and textures complimented each other perfectly. It was like a lovely waltz in my mouth! And we devoured every last bit.
In the morning I noticed there was about 1/4 cup of the roasted squash leftover. I busied myself with work, cleaning, and managing the etsy store (something I failed to while while we were living away from home). Before I knew it 7am became 11am and my stomach was clearly not happy about being empty. Since we haven't been home, we don't really have much food in the fridge. Some eggs, a box of english muffins, and a few leftover herbs from last night. So I devised a quick plan in my head, and what resulted was a seriously delicious, on the fly, quickie breakfast recipe. Plus, I managed to capture a lovely picture of it! I felt good, I'd accomplished a lot and managed to make an amazing little meal. So here's the recipe, and much like the dish itself, pulled together.
Recipe: Roasted Sweet Meat Squash Cake with a Poached Egg drizzled with Herb Cream served on an English Muffin (whew)
1/4 leftover squash
1/2 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
one egg
1 tablespoon vinegar (to put into boiling water to poach egg)
1 tablespoon heavy creme
1 teaspoon each rosemary and thyme, chopped roughly
1 tablespoon of pecorino for sprinkling
1. Hand form squash into a patty (like a burger)
2. Heat butter in small saucepan over medium-high heat
3. Add patty to hot pan and fry for 2 minutes (or until brown and crispy) the flip and repeat
4. Meanwhile, boil a pot of water
5. Add vinegar to water
6. Crack egg and place into a coffee mug or shallow dish
7. Quickly dip and dump the egg into the water
8. Cover pot, and turn off heat, let egg sit for 3-5 minutes
(above is how I poach my eggs, it works for me every time, so I hope it will work for you too)
9. Toast english muffin and assemble (muffin, squash cake, poached egg)
10. Drizzle with herbed cream and sprinkle with pecorino
And viola! That's it!
It's super delicious, and would even make an impressive dish for brunch on the weekend!

It has begun!
First of all, I'd like to apologize for my long delay in posting on this website. One thing that has kept me from this site has been the remodel going on in our lovely little home. For the last month and half we've had no bathroom. A little remodel, with a few upgrades, turned into a huge remodel. Because we had no toilet, shower or even walls we were forced to move out until a few of those things were replaced. So, Thomas and I packed up the pugs and some of our things and out to my mothers house we went. Although she lives in a fairly spacious house, I would say that after a few weeks even the closest mother and daughter (and their respective spouses) cease to get along so well. That and driving nearly half and hour back and forth up to up to three times a day wore on my mind, body and nerves. But, after a few struggles and what seemed like a year, we are back in our little abode. Unfortunately, we only have a floor, new walls and a toilet (no shower yet, which is remedied by the YMCA or Thomas' mother who lives close by), our house still reflects a construction site. I'm just happy to be home!
Months ago I started looking for people interested in a gourmet cooking group, or as some call it, a club. I thought it would be a great opportunity to meet some people who had the same passion for food as I do. Although I love all of my friends dearly, many of them aren't as invested in the magic of food as I am. So, eight people responded and we meet for wine a cheese. Then, appetizers. After that, a halloween dinner. For our halloween dinner we had a new member, Rachelle, whom I was most excited to meet, she seemed to have that same passionate spark that I do. When she emailed me, she even sent a picture of a cake she made, which as you know I loved, because I am a fan of all things sweet (and photographs of sweet things is just as wonderful). After our Halloween dinner she offered to host the next meeting at her place. Usually at the end of every meal we decide on a "theme" or come up with a concept. Many of us had wanted to try our hand at thai, korean or vietnamese so we decided to create dishes with a general asian theme. We also had a member that had cooked for dignataries in parts of Asia and seemed to know a lot about traditional food. Cooking with a general asian theme would provide some freedom for creativity and we would be left with dishes from all over, not just one region.
I had been planning on creating a special posting for each meeting. Offering my readers ideas, recipes and my ongoing experience with the group. Our first three meetings were very new, and, seeing as for part of it I wasn't at home (and couldn't find my camera battery charger) I didn't have the time or resources to photograph and post. But I was prepared this past Friday, and boy am I glad I was. Unfortunately, this post is missing over half the dishes that were supposed to be there. I say supposed to because five people cancelled last minute, all within an hour or two of dinner. This hadn't happened before and most of us left in the wake were all a bit stunned. We lost all of our sides, one dessert, and drinks (luckily I had a bottle of champagne in the fridge). We may have missed out on dishes, but most of those who ended up contributing really brought their A-game. Would it have been nice to have sides? Yes, of course. But Rachelle, created a stunning clay pot vietnamese pork main with toasted coconut rice. Ashley brought along an abundant amount of freshly made crab rangoon with her own sweet and sour. Layla brought a plate of edamame with kimchee (excuse me if my spelling is blatantly wrong). Michelle brought drinks. I supplied the cupcakes, with an asian flair of course. And here, in one post, you will get the recipes and my thoughts on each dish. I will not however be providing Laylas recipe (or Michelles because she brought a bottle of wine) simply because it was very simple. To recreate Laylas dish simply steam some edamame and serve with some store bought kimchee. That would make a good snack at home in the afternoon too!
I felt terrible for Rachelle. She went all out, created such a lovely dining experience. The table was set with her wedding china, a full formal setting, with candles abound. A large pitcher of lemon and mint water flanked one side of the table. On each place setting sat a piece of vietnamese candy (Rachelle made a traditional vietnamese dish). As soon as I entered her apartment I was in love! It is me to a tee. It doesn't look like it belongs in bellingham, it's very parisian in nature. Large planked wood floors, high ceilings, wide crown molding, gorgeous lead cabinet built ins. I could go on and on for days, but I won't! It was simply lovely, and right away I could tell she put a lot of care into getting the place ready for us. As much as I was in awe, I immediately felt a twang of guilt, I know it wasn't my fault, but I felt so terrible that she had gone to so much effort and so many had canceled. I know how that feels too. Nonetheless we popped the bottle of champagne and ended up having the best evening we've had so far, truly.
So read on for some fantastic recipes!
Appetizer: Crab Rangoon with Homemade Sweet n' Sour made by Ashley
I loved this appetizer.
I probably consumed a few too many (not including the three we "tested" when she made them at my house!) But I knew there weren't going to be any sides by the time we arrived at Rachelles so we went a little crazy on these crispy crab pockets. Best of all they're baked, not fried, which means they are a bit healthier, but there's also a lot less mess!
Here is how Ashley did it:
Ingredients: Crab Rangoon
Package of won-ton wrappers
1 package cream cheese
2 cans of crab (I'd suggest dungeness)
4 scallions - chopped
small bowl of water
1/4 cup of oil
Directions: Preheat oven to 375
1. Lay out a few lines of wonton wrappers flat
2. Mix cream cheese, crab and chopped scallions into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
3. Place 1 teaspoon (more if you can fit and fold it) into wrapper.
4. Seal wrapper with a little water on the edges of wonton wrapper and fold in half (it will look like a triangle now). If you like fold ends into middle of wonton to create what I call a "pocket" (as seen in picture).
5. Brush both sides with oil
6. Bake about 10 minutes, flipping half way through, or until golden brown. f
Sweet N' Sour Sauce - still waiting on Ashley's recipe:
Main Plate
I highly suggest you try both of the dishes below. The pork melts in your mouth like butter, and although the flavor is extremely rich and a bit salty, paired with a crispy fresh side this would make an impressive meal. Best to make this on a weekend night or for your next dinner party!
Coconut Rice Made by Rachelle
Now, this recipe is fairly easy. I'd say you could whip this together as an accompaniment to your next stir-fry or asian inspired dinner. Everyone at the table couldn't stop raving about it, and most of us had two servings (some even more!) This would make a great recipe to try on the kiddies too. The sweet, crunchiness of the coconut pairs well with the stickiness of the rice. The textures are a treat unto themselves, and paired with the spicy, salty, soft pork, ooooohhhh melt in your mouth perfection. I could go for some right now!
Recipe: Coconut Jasmine Rice
serves 4-6 as side dish
1 tbl butter
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt (omit if serving with Clay Pot Pork)
2 cups jasmine rice, washed and drained well
½ cup good, thick coconut milk (shake can to mix well before opening)
2 cups water
1/4 cup sweetened coconut flakes
1. Heat butter a medium sized, heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2. When butter is melted, add brown sugar and salt, stir until dissolved.
3. Turn heat to high, add rice and stir until all grains coated evenly.
4. Add coconut milk and water. Stir occasionally to prevent grains from sticking to bottom.
5. When boiling, immediately cover with tight fitting lid, turn heat to medium-low and simmer undisturbed for 20 minutes. 6. Remove pot from heat but do not open lid. Really, no peeking!
7. Let sit for10 minutes.
8. While rice is cooking, toast coconut flakes on a dry skillet over medium high heat. Stir frequently to avoid burning, remove from pan as soon as coconut is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Clay Pot Vietnamese Pork Dish Main - Made By Rachelle
I enjoyed the dish. Yes, it was a bit salty, but I think the coconut rice is supposed to balance the salty out a bit. I don't think it was so bad it shouldn't be made and experimented with. The flavor was good, the pork was like butter the salt just needed a little adjustment. Here are a few words Rachelle shared about the dish: It is extremely rare that I regard the product of one of these recipes with dismay, but Clay Pot Pork produced exactly that reaction.Too salty. Unbearably salty. This is inspired by Vietnamese cuisine, says the introductory paragraph, which often uses sweet and bitter together. The idea (and it's not posted on Epicurious so I can't show you) is to produce caramel by melting 1/3 c. sugar, then adding 1/3 c. fish sauce and 1 3/4 cup chicken stock. Then you add some other things (shallots, garlic, scallions) and cubed pork shoulder, which you braise for 2 hours. Don't skimp on the fish sauce, the recipe says. It's necessary for authentic flavor.
And now for the recipe:
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup chicken stock or store-bought low-sodium broth or water
1/3 cup Asian fish sauce, preferably Vietnamese
3 shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced diagonally, white and green parts kept separate
1 lb trimmed boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1. Cook sugar in a dry 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, without stirring, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar has melted into a deep golden caramel.
2. Carefully add stock and fish sauce (caramel will harden and steam vigorously) and cook, stirring, until caramel is dissolved. 3. Add shallots, garlic, and white part of scallions and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
4. Toss pork with pepper in a bowl and stir into sauce. Bring to a simmer, then cover pan, reduce heat to low, and braise pork, stirring once or twice, until very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
5. Stir in scallion greens and serve with rice.
Honey Toasted Sesame Cupcakes, White Chocolate Green Tea Frosting topped with White Chocolate Dipped Fortune Cookie: Made by Mallory
I thought these were very good, the frosting didn't hold shape like I'd wanted, it was probably due to the sour cream in the recipe. The frosting was also a tad too gooey for me, not in a soft way, in a sticky/chewy kind of way. The little cakes were incredible though. I wanted to use toasted sesame like you'd use poppyseeds. My fear was that the seeds would end up being too noticeable, or that they'd be a nuisance and get stuck in your teeth easily. This wasn't the case, they just added a really interesting depth and flavor to a very light cake. I adapted the recipe from cheryl porro's honey cakes. Frosting was all my creation.
Recipe: Toasted Sesame Honey Cupcakes
1 cup + 1 tablespoon cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons whole milk
3 egg yolks
1/3 cup whipped honey
4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup toasted sesame seeds (toss in a pan on low heat until evenly golden, the heavenly smell will tip you off that they're done)
Directions: Preheat to 350 - Makes 12 cupcakes
1. Sift flour, salt, and baking powder into the bowl of a standing mixer.
2. In a medium bowl, combine oil, milk, egg yolks, and honey. Stir to combine.
3. On a low setting, start to beat the dry mixture and slowly add the wet. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until incorporated.
4. Transfer mixture to another bowl. Wash and dry mixer bowl.
5. Whip egg whites with whip attachment on medium-high speed until foamy. With the mixer on medium speed, add cream of tarter and slowly add sugar. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
6. Scoop a cupful of the stiff egg whites into the batter and stir to combine. This should lighten up the batter.
7. Fold sesame seeds into batter
8. Transfer the batter to the egg whites and gently fold until there are no more streaks of egg white
9. Fill cups nearly to the top, leaving about 1/4 inch
Recipe: Matcha (Green Tea) White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
4 oz. sour cream
4 oz. cream cheese
6 oz. white chocolate melted
3 rounded tablespoons of matcha (powdered green tea, very brilliant in color and strong in flavor)
1/2 cup powdered sugar (to stiffen a bit)
1. Combine sour cream and cream cheese in mixer, mix thoroughly (about 3 minutes)
2. Slowly add white chocolate mix until combined
3. Add matcha and powdered sugar and mix thoroughly
And there you have it! There is my uber long post, chock full of ideas and recipes for your pleasure! Enjoy!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Josh Davis scored 22 points and Tulane pulled away from Rice in the second half Saturday for a 73-66 Conference USA victory.
Tied at 32 at the half, the Owls moved ahead on Seth Gearhart's three-point play before the Green Wave (14-6, 2-3) took control with a 9-0 spurt.
After Julian DeBose's layup got Rice back within four, at 41-37, Ricky Tarrant made two free throws and Tulane maintained a cushion of at least six points from there.
The win gave the Green Wave a 25-24 lead in the series and snapped Rice's three-game streak, including a sweep last season.
Davis had nine rebounds, ending his run of three straight double-doubles, as Tulane outrebounded the Owls 38-21.
Tarrant added 16 points and Jordan Callahan scored 10 for the Green Wave.
Gearhart scored 23 points to lead the Owls (4-15, 0-5), who have lost eight of their past nine games.

66 HASKINS & SELLS June Lowering the High Cost of Living THE high cost of living may not be attributed to any one thing. Even the war may not be blamed as the sole cause. Many things contribute, incidentally, to a condition which during the process of adjustment to a higher price level at times seems intolerable. It was inevitable that there should have been a rise in prices after the war. It did not require an expert economist to foresee such a condition. Interest rates needed no exhaustive study such as one research man spent months in giving to the subject in order that their trend might be forecast. But it does not seem necessary that all the present contributing causes need exist. The butcher explains the high price of veal to the housewife by telling her that numerous government inspections of cattle and meat are now required. The farmer justifies the previously unheard of prices of butter and eggs by a statement that feed for cows and hens was never before so high. The real estate agents lay the blame on the economic law of supply and demand when they offer ramshackle houses at twice what they are worth. The public is being slowly educated to the higher prices and although it groans and complains, it pays. Recent steps taken by the Federal Reserve Bank to curb speculation by raising the discount rate has resulted only in shaking down the market temporarily. The scheme fails because it is wrong in principle. Is there any reason to suppose that the real estate operator who sees a chance to realize a profit of forty or fifty per cent. inside of a month is bothered by the raise of a few points in the discount rate? Most banks during the war before making loans insisted on knowing the purpose for which the funds were to be used. The discriminating banker today is likely to require information regarding the use to which the proceeds of loans are to be put. He is much more likely to make the loan for serious and necessary business uses than for the purchase of automobiles, or player-pianos, or speculation in the stock market. His inquisitiveness may be impertinent but his position enables him to exercise it. What some of the individual or member banks now do might be carried out to great advantage, it seems, by the Federal Reserve Bank. The same careful inquiry and discrimination by the parent bank with regard to rediscounts might work infinitely more good than raising the discount rate. Funds for legitimate and necessary business purposes should be made available. The rate should be as low as possible. Funds for speculative, profiteering, gouging schemes promoted with the object of taking advantage of helpless, law-abiding citizens should not be obtainable at any price. The Federal Reserve Bank under such procedure might not show earnings of one hundred and twenty-six millions, but the high cost of living might be appreciably lowered. At any rate, the official bank of the government might take some pride in having served as an instrument in relieving a condition the burden of which is well-nigh intolerable. The Basis for Investment In these days of high prices', when a dollar buys only half what it formerly did, the business enterprises of the country have been forced generally to greatly increase their capital. As is usually the case, the appeal in the last analysis has been to the public. The vast financial mechanism which handles securities issues, disposes of them ultimately to the small investor. They may be placed originally with an underwriting syndicate. They may pass in turn to the large financial houses, to the investment houses, and to the banks and trust companies which distribute them. At last they reach individuals or their representatives

Sinister747 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 46 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
I would like a large emphasize placed on the word PET. The and Centre are not priority but we would like them to be noticable.
Also \"Centre\" is not spelled wrong, this is the Irish way of spelling it.
The Pet Centre
Desired Style:
Emphasize the word \"PET\" and enter a pet Figure (Mascott)
Accepted File Formats:
.psd / .png / .tiff
This is my first time getting a logo designed, i am a web developer in Ireland and take great pride in my work.
However i lack the design qualities i have seen here at SitePoint and would be incredibly happy to sit back and see what you guys can come back with.
Well as the name potrays this is a Pet Store, which is moving online after almost 20 Years of experiance in the Pet Business.
They will have online orders etc, but we would like to focus on the Store Aspect (real store) rather than the Online aspect..
Primarly because this logo will be used on Brochures, Websites, Vehicles, T-Shirts etc...
We would like a large emphasize on PET and if possible have some kind of \"Mascott\", such as a Dog, Cat etc...
You are verly free to make this logo on your own accord, all we really require is a large PET and a pet \"Figure\" in the logo.
No specific colors are required, i look foward to seen the outcome.
I mainly work with Photoshop CS3 so if possible a .psd or .png etc.. However if you think this is the wrong way to go please recommend. I am open to recommendations.
EDIT: Please do not use Paws.. it is a very common thing for pet store\'s.. this needs to be unique..

|Product: Pentel Aquash Water Brush
|Manufacturer / Distributor: Pentel / Derwent & various online suppliers - see below
|Technical Details:
|Summary: This is a very popular and effective waterbrush. It's made by Pentel but is now also available via Derwent and Derwent retailers. It's repackaged with the Derwent name on the packaging.
|Who should buy this?:
|Who should not buy this?
|Think Again?
|Suppliers: Available from:
Derwent now have a small Waterbrush. When I was sent a sample to try I looked at it and was very puzzled. I had to go and get my existing waterbrush to check it out - you can see the photo above. They were exactly the same! I asked Derwent about this and it turns out that Derwent is now repackaging the very popular and very efficient Aquabrush/waterbrush made by Pentel - which isn't always very easy to find in art materials shops.
Derwent have sold the medium size waterbrush for some time but are now also selling the small/fin waterbrush which is suitable for more detailed work as well. So that's good news!
Basically this is a tool which has a nylon brush on one end (with a cover) and a transparent plastic barrel sitting behind it. It works very like a conventional pen - hence the name brush pen. There's a one-way valve which allows water through to thr brush when there is pressure on the end of the brush. Squeezing the flexible barrel increases the flow - and you can squeeze out drops if you try hard!
You need to give the brush a good 'wash' in warm water before using it for the first time. I'd also be very wary of using it with inks which you shouldn't put in conventional pens - like Indian ink. Essentially you don't want to use it with anything which when dry will stop the valve from working or refuse to budge from the inside of the barrel!
This is a tool which is very useful for those who sketch and those who use watercolour pencils. I was sat on a tube when I dried my waterbrush out for the first time! This is a page of my Talens watercolour pencils on a sheet of Winsor & Newton heavy weight (80lb) sketchbook.
I think I probably need to do a review at some point of all the different brands of watercolour pencils when used with this brush!
Tim Fisher has produced a very helpful video about watercolour pencil techniques in which this brush features which has been posted on YouTube by Jacksonstops (who I think might be Tim - it's not obvious from YouTube). See this post on Making A Mark - Watercolour pencil techniques.
The differences in cost between different suppliers are not very significant. For most people it's going to boil down to whether you prefer to buy your supplies at your local art shop or online and which retailer you usually use!
I can confidently state that if this is a product which you like, you'll find yourself using it a lot and will probably want more than one - especially you want dilute solutions of water-based medium in the barrel - and that's when cost will be of more relevance.
See also:
- Russ Stutler who provides a review of waterbrushes that he uses on his sketchbook site. It's very detailed and it's by somebody who has been using watbrushes for years.
- Roz Stendhal of Rozworks who is also a long time user of waterbrushes and provides a very useful review of Pentel Brush Pens: The Pocket Brush and the Color Brush on her blog (but bear in mind she's also talking about two products which are something slightly different)

An MBTA operator has been suspended for ten days for breaking the T's recently passed cell phone ban after a Chronicle reporter snapped a photo of the bus driver talking on what looked like a cell phone this week. While an MBTA investigation found the driver wasn't using the cell phone -- he was making calls on the bus' radio -- it did find the 46-year-old employee was carrying a phone on board the bus, which was traveling from Cambridge to Brighton.
I was on the 86 bus this past Wednesday afternoon from Cambridge through Brighton, minding my own business when I thought I saw the bus driver talking to himself. He looked like he was making really quick calls on a cell phone, despite an MBTA-wide ban on cell phones that was formally adopted by the state Department of Public Utilities last week. So I snapped a photo.
I forwarded the photo and my side of the story to MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo, who took it seriously enough to launch an investigation. I withheld posting anything because the driver's use of a cell phone wasn't clear cut to me -- until now.
It turns out the 46-year-old driver, who's been with the T for five years, wasn't using the cell phone -- he was talking on the bus radio to call about a fare evader -- but he did have a cell phone in his possession, according to the investigation. A camera on the bus captured the driver boarding the bus with a cell phone.
The driver was suspended for 10 days. He's one of four drivers who have been disciplined in the past two months. Of those four, two have been fired, according to Pesaturo.
From Pesaturo in an e-mail:
"Video captured by an on-board camera revealed that the bus operator boarded the bus with a cell phone. But there was no conclusive evidence that he used it while driving. In accordance with MBTA policy, he was given a 10 day suspension for possession of a phone while on duty. A second offense will result in the termination of his employment. He is the 4th employee disciplined under the policy that went into effect 2 months ago."

BOULDER, CO - May 9, 2006
Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti-spyware software for the enterprise, SMBs and consumers, will host a webinar to present the latest spyware data now available in Webroot's most recent quarterly State of Spyware report, which was released today. The webinar will be held on Thursday, May 11 at 11:00 a.m. MST.
Webroot's Gerhard Eschelbeck, CTO & senior vice president of engineering, and Jeff Hughes, director of product marketing, will present the results of Webroot's latest industry findings as well as information on how businesses can proactively prevent revenue loss and data breaches. Eschelbeck and Hughes will offer insight on how consumers and organizations can protect themselves from the growing risks of spyware, in addition to providing expert advice on the following topics:
- Top spyware threats
- Enterprise spyware infection rates
- Small businesses vulnerability to spyware attacks
- The latest techniques used by spyware hackers, including phishing Trojans
According to this edition of Webroot's State of Spyware report, a rise in adware combined with a significant increase in the most malicious types of Trojans and system monitors resulted in the highest consumer infections rates since the first quarter of 2005. The report also reveals that more than 50 percent of small businesses experienced a spyware attack during the first quarter of 2006.
Issued quarterly, the State of Spyware report is an in-depth review and analysis of the impact of spyware, adware and unwanted software on consumers and enterprises. The foundation for much of the analysis and trends reporting comes from online research culled by Phileas, Webroot's automated spyware research system and Webroot's corporate Spy Audit and consumer spy scanning tool, which invite both consumers and enterprises to scan specific PCs and determine spyware infection levels.

I'm running
CentOS 6.2 and installed
nginx as root. After the install I changed the owner and group of the install to it's own user and group to keep thing a bit more secure.
I logged in as root and ran
yum update which updated
nginx and I noticed a lot of the file owners groups were reverted back to root.
Is there a way I can retain the ownership I want when performing updates? Maybe login as the
nginx user and performing the update (is that even possible or recommended?)

Trade Winds are a-blowin'..Strong and Swift
It might sounds as if I am discussing the volatile Florida weather patterns that envelope this region during this time of year, but I am not. It might seem like I am talking about the swirling winds, high seas and rough patches of rain and possible hail that could fall from the Florida sky at any moment past 5 pm like a habit formed at birth…But I am not.
The tropical disturbance I am talking about right now is a simple trade winds phenomenon that plagues not only Florida teams, but the other 28 Major League teams at this juncture in the season. I misspelled the word "trade winds" for a reason. Because at this juncture in the MLB season, trades are the reason for the volatile season.
Talking about Trade Deadline season, when the storms of comments and swirls of team advice hit dangerous levels that could easily strip the paint off your car, and the acid comment responses from vicious crosswinds or fans to ill-advised moves can cripple a possible Playoff venture. Even if this season traditionally heats up during the days following the All-Star game.
During this short period of time every year , the furious winds of possible trade movement speculations increase at an alarming rate, almost to the point of catastrophic. Along with the increased swirls of predictions come the ever increasing vocal revelations from the pocket baseball prophets who have begun to assemble their yearly collective congregations.
Beginning today you will see daily flimsy reports and potential trade advisory warning that will be either acknowledged, or discarded as yesterday's new. But the true essence of the period is change. And hopefully change for the better for all 30 teams in increasing their offensive firepower, or sustaining a pitching dominance that might propel them up the standings. This is the type of season for dreamers and soothsayers to make their mark. To make a name for themselves, or simply perish beneath the enveloping storm surge.
It is the time of year that can make you a household name, or another professor of lies and deceit. The Trade Deadline season can be as callous as a construction worker's hands producing endless leads and sources that end with dead ends and unsubstantiated circles of information.
This is the time of the spin doctor. The person within the industry who can spin any tale in any direction and make you believe it. And do not think for a moment that every MLB team doesn't have a viable candidate in their front office who's job it is to turn the focus towards another direction to deflect the truth into a bundle of inner circling confusion until it is time to reveal the true intentions, or the final components of the trade.
This time of year is not made for the rain slicker, but contrived perfectly for the BS artist that can see the mannerisms and the words and dissect them with skill to find that inner lining of possible truth and direction. Just as the players and coaches need to memorize hand signals and body motions or positioning to suggest a certain play or action happen during an at bat, this time of year also has it's tell tale signs of movement and a team earnest intentions.
Reading between the lines becomes a necessity right now, and a trade secret. Until the end of the month we shall see a mountain of useless information packaged as a team viewpoint or trade direction, but that same pamphlet could also contain a few tasty morsels as to their true intentions and possible future movements. Visual body language can not be interpreted online with clarity, so the written word is a minefield of booby traps and hidden minefields to assert misinformation on a grand scale.
I attribute this time of year fully to a wily gambler who studies his game, looks for a recognizable pattern, then bounces into the fray with knowledge and not innuendo. The next few weeks are going to be a tropical depression of mammoth proportions.
Half of what we see and hear before the conclusion of a deal is rambling muses of misdirection and depth charges to change our pattern of finding the true directions. My advice is to bundle up, take every comment and snippet of information with a grain of salt, and trust only what you know. With spin doctors employed, spies and counter intelligence in use, and intentions disguised by constant double talk, the truth will come out in the end.
But usually it will be projected by the person at the podium who has done his job within the secret society of G M's and MLB team leaders. It is the collective calm after the storm, and the rebuilding moment to regroup and reflect on that days actions. Thunderous sounds then again boom and emulate from the Web and the stadiums.
Either with joy or remorse over a collective move. But the storm warning will not cease until August 1st. For it is Trade Deadline season, one of the most dangerous times of the year to be wrong.

Wahoos making waves in Pensacola
Southern League club sold more than 3,000 season tickets
By Brian Moynahan / Special to MLB.com | March 13, 2012 9:41 AM
The rivalry with the Suns is underway before the teams even meet on the field. Jacksonville has led the circuit in attendance for nine years running, but Pensacola is making an early push to challenge that streak.
Last week, the Blue Wahoos announced that the team had stopped selling season tickets after heavy demand resulted in 3,000 full-season tickets sold. That number, along with 400 mini-plans sold on the first day they were available, translates to more than 230,000 tickets sold before the team even plays a game.
That number alone would have placed the club sixth in the 10-team Southern League in attendance last season.
"Yeah, no chance," Blue Wahoos Executive Vice-President Jonathan Griffith said with a laugh when asked if the team had expected such a large number. "It's a pleasant surprise. I mean, we knew we were going to do well, just with the ballpark and everything else, but at the end of the day I don't think anybody expected to sell that many season tickets in a Minor League ballpark."
Season-ticket and mini-plan sales were the primary focus of the team's early marketing efforts. Capping full-season ticket sales at the current level allows the club to spread its remaining resources among locals who can't afford season tickets, summer tourists and military personnel on various local bases. Griffith said that several ideas are being discussed to bring those groups to the ballpark.
In addition to focused sales efforts, Griffith attributes the early-season ticket demand to Pensacola's history as a town that "really thrives on baseball," noting that Orioles manager Buck Showalter and "some Hall of Famers" have called the city home. The last affiliated team to play in the city, however, was the Alabama-Florida League's Pensacola Senators, which last saw action in the 1962 season.
Pensacola was without professional baseball until 2002, when the independent Pelicans came to town. The Pelicans played in three different leagues (Southeastern, Central and American Association) in nine years of existence before being sold and moving to Amarillo for the 2011 season.
"They averaged roughly 1,000 fans a game. They had about 75 season ticket holders that were very loyal and diehard baseball fans," said Griffith of the Pensacola Pelicans.
"What we bring to town is much more of the entertainment and the family value. It's a different style of baseball; it's a different level of baseball. Two years from now you'll see these guys in a Reds uniform on television, and that's a really big deal to get to see that kind of talent this early here in Pensacola. It's something they haven't seen since the '60s."
It's clear that the Blue Wahoos have already made an impact, with 230,000 tickets already sold a week before single-game passes go on sale. Equally clear is their acknowledgement that the process of building a successful organization is not a short-term endeavor.
Ultimately, the goal is to duplicate Jacksonville's results and become the team that others are looking to knock off a decade from now.
"In the first year of anything you do, the newness is great. But we are kind of creating a culture and a whole format here that we're not looking at just this year. We're looking at the next 10 years," said Griffith.
"It started out with our sponsorships. The sponsorships that we have are three-to-five years. Our season ticketholders, we really pushed that three-year activity. And then, of course, every year we're going to keep going and trying to get people to commit for multiple years, because this is something that if it happens for one year, we have a great year and then never again, nobody wins.
"We're really looking for that long-time partnership with all of our sponsors and our season ticket-holders and the community. If we don't have the community support, then we're not doing what we need to do."

Desired Style:
Simple & Professional
Accepted File Formats:
http://www.theprimegroupinc.com (please do not use this current site as a model for the logo. We will be developing a new site, so, start from scratch)
Currently, our "logo" is a font. We are looking for a symbol or image that reflects our "Prime" attitude toward offering innovative solutions and services to any given problem.
Basically, we create solutions for clients and offer them services based on the solution they choose. So, for example we had a client who wanted his sales reps to have the ability to order promotional items online. (Multi-tools, hats, t-shirts, ect.) This client also wanted an outside source to fulfill the orders placed online and handle all the customer service associated with the orders.
Our solution: Create a website for sales reps to order from. PRIME was also hired to administer the site and provide all services in storing, picking, packaging and shipping promotional items for the client.
So, we are looking for a logo that gives this idea or perception at a glance.

Your browser (Internet Explorer) is not compatible with Rentcars.com.
Upgrade your browser now to ensure the best experience and safety when booking a car.
Most car rental companies offer a variety of insurance coverages including coverage against damages to the vehicle, its occupants and third parties.
The most commonly available insurance coverage for car rentals are:
Optional coverages can be added to your reservation during the booking process or directly over the rental counter. It's important, however, to stress that the inclusion of any additional coverages offered over-the-counter is entirely up to you.
In your Booking Confirmation Voucher you'll find a complete description of all the insurance coverages included in your hired service package. When picking up your vehicle, make sure to have understood the rental conditions as well as the details of what you will be charged for before signing the rental agreement.
Should you suffer any mishaps while enjoying your rental car, you should always follow the procedures established by the rental company for such cases. Common practices include, presenting an incident report/police report and filling in the rental company's accident form within 24h of the incident, amongst others. This information is readily available at the rental location as well as in the rental agreement itself.
Renting a car under 25 is possible, however, because drivers under 25 years of age are statistically more prone to getting into an accident, most rental companies will charge you an underage fee. Some car rental companies may even consider the minimum age to rent as being 21 but their daily underage surcharges tend to be even steeper.
Furthermore, if you're under 25, you will typically only be allowed to rent smaller cars such as vehicles categorized as Compact or Economic. Most car rental companies will, altogether, not allow you to rent larger categories such as SUVs, Minivans and Luxury Vehicles.
If you are under 25 and interested in booking a vehicle or if you´re just in doubt about possible terms and conditions, you can reach out to us through our Booking Center. We´ll be happy to provide all the necessary information regarding rates and conditions for your rental specifications.
When signing a car rental agreement, most rental companies will request a security deposit, sometimes referred to as a credit hold, which will serve as a warranty for the car rental company. The requested deposit amount will vary depending on the vehicle´s category and rental period as well as on the rental company itself.
When using a credit card, the amount will not be charged directly, only put on hold. Once you return the vehicle, the rental company will request the hold to be removed. The wait-time for the hold removal to take effect, however, will depend solely on your card´s network.
As for cash and debit security deposits, the amount will in fact be charged by the rental company but returned after the vehicle itself is returned.
Slightly larger than a passport, the International Driving Permit (IDP), sometimes referred to as an International Driving License (IDL), is basically a multi-language translation of your personal driver's license. Whether or not you'll be required to have and hold an IDP during your trip, however, varies quite a bit between countries. In any case, in order for it to be valid, your IDP must always be accompanied by your own driver's license.
In the United States, foreign driver's licenses are widely accepted so long as the license's language uses the same alphabet as the English language. The most important thing to ask yourself when considering an IDP is, "If I get pulled over, will the police officer be able to understand the information on my driver's license?". If the answer is no, an International Driver's Permit is highly recommended.
To avoid any inconveniences, contact our Booking Center and find out if the country you are traveling to requires an International Driver's Permit. We're always happy to help.
