It's an ok file not a miracle worker. I'm a dancer and my feet get beat up a lot. I've had better luck w using a Swedish clover red foot file from Sally beauty supply it seemed quicker and smoother. I have 3 Diamancel files and sadly they're just sitting in my bathroom. Le edge exfoliator and Sally's file are my go to for super smooth feet. Don't waste your money on this it's just hype.

This is simply the best foot file out there, no kidding! I bought mine about 10 years ago before you could really get them online. I ordered mine from a Zitomer catalog, which is a site worth visiting! Anyhow, I paid about $40 back then. It has not lost it's kick at all and I still love it today. I tell all of my friends to stop buying pumice and get this instead. It makes your feet as soft as can be. It is pretty soft on your feet and will get rid of a bit of dead skin or a ton of calouses.

A little too aggressive for my pedicured tootsies - but if you have very thick, rough calluses this could be a good option. I love the Diamancel line - but this one is a bit much for me. Be careful when using - you can slice your sole off.

Amazing product on very hard calluses. Definietely worth the investment, id di not think there was any hope for my feet, but diamancel products work, and last forever. Mine is 3 years old, good as new!

bought this buffer over 7 years ago and have been using it regularly ever since. It still works as though it were brand new ~ definitely worth the seemingly hefty price tag. Personally, I�d rather spend $50 on something I�ll have for more than 5 years that works exceptionally well than to keep spending $2 on drugstore pumice stones that don�t work nearly as well and get funky quickly, needing to be replaced. (And that�s saying something for me, because I have tight-wad tendencies from time-to-time.) I use this buffer on dry feet, rinse, then apply a little Burt�s Bees Coconut Cr�me (which is really a balm, but I digress). Pad around in your sock feet for about � an hour, or leave on overnight & you�ll have the softest feet on your block. (Sorry this turned into a cross-over review for BB, but I always use the two together.) Mind you, if I get lazy and don�t Diamancel (that�s right � I turned it into a verb), and ONLY use the Burt�s Bees cr�me, the results aren�t nearly as amazing, so I know the Diamancel is doing its job.

An HG item. I bought this after developing a very deep, painful crack in my right heel. The Microplane Orb I'd had for a couple of years had gotten dull and was no longer effective, so I read a number of reviews before selecting this. I used the Diamancel in combination with Flexitol heel cream, and the deep crack was pain-free in a couple of days. Two weeks later, it was completely gone, and my ragged, scaly feet look and feel amazingly smooth.
Thanks to all for posting the positive reviews. I'm very happy to have found this, and I'm looking forward to many years of continued use.

bought this several years ago, i guess i was expecting a miracle at first, so i wasn't overly impressed, not that i didn't like it, just that i felt i still had foot issues, but since the last person who gave me a pedicure commented on my feet, she said wow you have no calluses, i wish my feet were that soft, my sister pointed out that that is the third time we have heard this. so it got me thinking, what could have done that, i have had a standing job for 20 years, but i do use my diamancel once a week when i remember, i think now i will try and use more often

i said i'd buy this product again, but if i don't lose it or have it stolen from me, i don't think i'll have to! i've had this for 8 years now and it's still my go-to foot treatment. the way it works fits in naturally with the skin on your foot so it's not too much ever. i use it on my heels and on the heel of my big toes and it keeps the skin supple which is essential for my yoga practice.
i noticed recently when i was too lazy to use Diamancel this month and asked for one of those chemical callus peels during a pedicure. afterwards, it didn't get rid of all the heel stuff! but the skin on my heels felt really tight for days afterwards. i think it's because the chemicals sort of weaken the skin down many layers even if the top layer (the yucky stuff) stays on top. waste of my money too!
TIP: although i use it mostly when dry according to instructions, it actually works very well wet as well. you just have to rinse it after you've been working a bit because the skin doesn't fall away but sticks. i do this when i've neglected using it for awhile.

Best $45 I've ever spent. Have had it for a couple of years, and do NOT miss the constant cycle and expense of replacing cheaper, inferior files. It's expensive, yes, but it'll work out to be cheaper in the long run, and in said long run, I also get the use of a superior, hassle-free tool. I struggled with this purchase initially, thinking it was crazy to spend $45 on something I could get for $4, but then it came in the mail, and I've not doubted my decision for a second since the first use.

(written from a Production point of view)
To Boldly Go was a ten-minute Star Trek: The Next Generation documentary produced at the behest of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in 1990 for their current affairs series PrimeTime Live. It was broadcast on 27 September 1990 as part of the second season of that series. The featurette was hosted by DeForest Kelley, who playfully adopted his curmudgeon alter ego character of Leonard McCoy. Kelley visited the set of The Next Generation around the time when the season four episodes "Family" and "Future Imperfect" were in production.
Apart from talking to actors and production staffers like Gates McFadden and Michael Westmore, it also featured behind-the-scenes footage, staff meetings, application of makeup, and the designing and filming of the McKinley-type studio model. Majel Barrett reprised her role as the computer voice for a short segment in the turbolift.
Produced by ABC staffers Neil Shapiro and Eric Dennis, the featurette has never been released as nor included as a special feature on any of the home video releases. Not seen for decades, it has recently resurfaced on internet websites like YouTube.
In 2012, producer Robert Meyer Burnett hinted at the possibility of the documentary being included as "value added material" (a special feature) on one of the remastered Next Generation releases, [1] but it was ultimately not part of the TNG Season 4 Blu-ray set when released.

The idiom 'fair game' means, legitimate target or object. For example, if Ms. A's husband were doing the same thing with someone else, then Ms. A's doing it with someone else is considered fair, legitimate, given her husband's behavior. But given the limited context above, I'm not sure what 'a fair game' is supposed to mean. Seems to me it could be synonymous with "an innocent game"? I'm confused, sorry. Do you have more context?
By the way, who is "Ms. B"?

A record throng shares 'a good mood' in Turkey Trot
Tens of thousands of runners, fans and gawkers converged on Delaware Avenue in North Buffalo on Thursday for the 117th annual Turkey Trot, as a record 14,000 participants – many in costumes from mild to outlandish – dashed off to the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
With the sun shining brightly and crisp fall temperatures inching from the 40s to the mid-50s, the racers sped away in a mass at exactly 9 a.m., following the announcer's cry of "Runners, set … go!"
The most serious competitors were largely grouped in front and set off deliberately as Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" blared from speakers, while the rest of the pack ranged from runners to joggers to walkers. Participants ranged in age from young children with their parents to senior citizens older than 80, and most were in sweatpants, running suits or even shorts.
This year's race featured, for the first time, a costume contest beforehand; previous runners have worn everything from turkey outfits to hockey jerseys, so organizers capitalized on the tradition to spur more creativity and interest.
"We have a huge percentage of runners that do the costumes," said race director Tom Donnelly.
Of course, there was an array of "turkeys" – from those in turkey hats, plumes and feathers to full-body costumes – a fair share of pilgrims, and even a Native American or two. But there were also plenty of superheroes – Superman, Batman, Captain America and Green Lantern all made appearances – as well as Gumby, the Gingerbread Man, Pac-Man, and Scooby-Doo.
"It's a fun race," said Charlie Anderson, 39, of Grand Island, who runs competitively. "You see all the costumes. Everybody's in a good mood."
"Bill" and "Ted" took a break from their "Excellent Adventure" to stop by, as did Santa, some elves, a few vikings and at least one leprechaun. There was a wedding party, a long green centipede with a dozen seniors, and some bananas pulling someone in a rickshaw.
The award for individual costume went to Lisa Welch from St. Catharines, Ont., for her turkey outfit, while the group prize went to a team dressed for "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."
The 8-kilometer course – 4.97 miles – began on Delaware from North Buffalo, through Delaware Park, residential and commercial districts, Mansion Row and into the heart of downtown, before the runners turned onto Church Street and then up Franklin Street to the finish line in front of the Convention Center.
"Come on, runners. Bring it in strong," the announcer called out at the finish line as racers poured across. "Strong finish, strong finish, runners. Nice job."
Runners and organizers praised the weather as "perfect."
"I don't think they've had better weather for this than today," said Anderson, the Grand Island runner who finished with a time of 34 minutes, 47 seconds, his personal best. "It was the perfect temperature. Not too hot, not too cold."
"I don't think I've ever worn shorts for the Turkey Trot," agreed Christin Handley, 23, of East Aurora, who has run competitively since college, including in the Turkey Trot for five years, and who now coaches at John Carroll University.
The Turkey Trot is the oldest consecutively run annual footrace in North America – five months older than the Boston Marathon. As such, it attracts competitive runners not only from Western New York, but also from across the country.
Jed Christiansen, 25, of Greenville, Pa., won this year's race with one of the fastest times in recent years. His time of 24:01 ended the four-year winning streak of Dennis Pollow Jr. of Ransomville. The race record is under 24 minutes. "I made a very fast time," said Christiansen, who last ran the Turkey Trot in 2004. "It's tough to find such good competition this late in the year."
He said that it was his second-fastest time, after running 23:41 in the Shamrock Shuffle in Chicago last spring. "It was pretty strong," he said. "I was running by myself for most of the race."
Running in her eighth Turkey Trot, Jacklyn Rzepecki, 28, of Rochester, Mich., won the Women's Division with a time of 28:17. Unlike Christiansen, who has no Buffalo connection but competes nationally, Rzepecki grew up in Woodlawn and graduated from Frontier High School in Hamburg in 1996. She has been running in the Turkey Trot "on and off" since high school, so it's "just part of the tradition."
"It's a very fun course," said Rzepecki, who is training for a marathon next week. "You don't have to think much – just run."
Both touted the weather and temperatures, even with some wind. "For Buffalo, it's probably one of the most ideal days," Rzepecki said. "As long as there's not snow on the ground."
Meanwhile, Carl Rundell won the Male Masters Division for runners 40 and older at 26:35. And Amy Fakterowitz won the Female Masters Division at 31:35. Winners were also crowned by age group.
The Turkey Trot marks the end of the running season in Western New York. This year's race reached capacity at 14,000 – up by 800 from last year and an all-time high.
Race organizers had to cap registration this year, as they factored in how many people they could accommodate at the post-race parties in the Convention Center and Statler City, and how many would be shuttled by bus back to the Target plaza parking lot off Delaware to get their cars.
"We are maxed," said Donnelly, the race director. "We had to turn people away this year."
The cheerful crowd began gathering early for the race, which originated at Delaware and Shoreham Parkway, north of Delaware Park and just south of the Target plaza. With loudspeakers blaring music along a closed stretch of Delaware, a festive atmosphere reigned as the sea of runners slowly made their way toward the starting line marked with yellow rope.
"I love it. I keep coming back," Handley said. "It's always a fun atmosphere, and there's good competition. There's so many people. It's a good tradition."
The race is the biggest fundraiser for the Buffalo Niagara YMCA. Those who signed up for the race by Oct. 31 paid $30 each. The fee went up to $35 in November. Last year's race raised $221,000 for the agency.

Yeah. OT might be a lot like Phazon. It slowly converts other matter into itself.
Except, instead of slowly burning you without special armor, it makes you explode if you aren't awesome enough to hold it.

So while the tech was invented in the future/past it has traveled to the here/now by time travel. The tech has already been invented so the first 100 million is not needed, so just 1 million per OTC.
And even it there wasn't, the Deadly Spacemen kick the ass of the entire universe every year, which messes up all continuity with it's pure awesomeness. OT could end up practically everywhere just because of time being broken so thoroughly and so often.

US futures rebound after sharp downturn this week
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock futures are rebounding from a significant sell-off over the past two days, but major averages that have been rattled by the partial government shutdown appear to be headed for a weekly loss.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index has ended in positive territory only twice over the past 11 days as disgust over the budget impasse grows. Though futures are ticking higher Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial average slumped below the 15,000 mark by Wednesday and is unlikely to recover this week.
Dow Jones futures are up 30 points to 14,936. S&P futures have tacked on 4.6 points to 1,674.30. Nasdaq futures are up 10.50 points to 3,212.75.
Because of the shutdown, there are no economic indicators Friday, including the crucial September jobs report from the Labor Department.

The Shore Conference Basketball Tournament has been dominated by Monmouth County schools, not only in recent years but pretty much throughout its history.
Lakewood was the last boy's team to win the SCT and that was 22 years ago in 1991 and outside of the Piners rarely have any other Ocean County schools posed serious threats to the likes of Neptune and CBA. The picture is even bleaker on the girl's side where the only Ocean County team to ever win the SCT was Southern back in the early 80's. However 2013 appears a bit different at least through the first couple of rounds.
We have reached the quarterfinals of what is arguably the highlight of the basketball season at the shore and four of the final eight boys teams are from Ocean County. Last night top-seeded Lakewood toppled Middletown North, 2nd seeded Point Pleasant Beach crushed defending champion Neptune, Toms River North beat Ocean and Jackson Memorial fought past St. Rose. The Piners, Garnett Gulls, Mariners and Jaguars advance to Sunday's "Elite 8" at Brookdale Community College.
11:00- Lakewood vs. Matawan
12:45- T.R. North vs. Colts Neck
2:30- Jackson vs. Manasquan
4:15- Pt. Beach vs. Manalapan
We will broadcast all but the Lakewood game on WOBM AM 1160/1310 with Matt Harmon and me calling a tripleheader from Brookdale.
The Girls quarterfinals are tomorrow at Brookdale with both Point Pleasant Boro and Point Pleasant Beach in the mix. The 3rd seeded Panthers rallied past defending champ St. Rose in overtime and next meet Holmdel (2:30) while the Garnett Gulls improved to 20-0 after outscoring Monsignor Donovan to set up a meeting with St. John Vianney in tomorrow's 4:15 finale.
Our Shore Sports Network will broadcast both the girls and boys semifinals next week and it will be interesting to see how many Ocean County schools are left standing.

When Anthony and Amber Powell left the sprawling megalopolis that is Phoenix, they entered into a time and place in the Four Corners that was so different from their past and so rewarding that they wanted to give something back.
As enthusiastic mountain bikers (well, Amber is becoming one), they decided to create a new guide that maps riding trails from Pagosa Springs to Aztec to Cortez. That product, Trail Head: Durango Area Mountain Bike Guide, just came out in mid-October and is available at local stores. It sells for $15 to $20, depending on location.
Anthony, already a serious mountain biker, visited cycling stores in town to find the best trails.
When they start(ed) drawing maps on a piece of paper, he explained, he realized that having a more formal printed guide would be helpful for others like him just becoming familiar with the areas trails.
While Amber worked at her bookkeeping job, Anthony, a graphic designer by trade, rode trails around the area. He mapped and photographed the trails for about nine months.
In all, he covered about 500 miles of trails, and even lost 20 pounds in the process.
I dont get any sympathy from my friends for having to go and ride every day, he noted. The Powells also live just steps from a cycle shop.
The guide covers trails that are within about 1½ hours driving time of Durango, Powell said. The guide has 15 maps, among which are Phils World in Cortez, Alien Run in Aztec and Kennebec Pass and Log Chutes near Durango.
Each of the maps has an adjoining page discussing ratings, riding style, skill level, work level, comments, trail description, favorite loop and directions to the trailhead.
The first few pages of the spiral-bound tome include trail etiquette, tools and stuff and a big warning that mountain biking can be dangerous, a basic disclaimer preaching safe and fun riding, according to the text.
The last few pages of the book include local advertisements and coupons of interest to cyclists.
Powell said he plans to update the guide every year and to add five trails with each new edition. He also is adding GoPro action-camera videos and photographs to his website, www.ridetrailhead.com.
One type of trail Powell is not including is road cycling trails, despite some requests.
Powell said he received help from some local riders, including racer Colin Shadell. He also developed a relationship with Trails 2000.
Trails 2000 does a great job creating and maintaining trails, Powell said. For instance, he said he likes the berms on their trails.
The Powells first moved from Phoenix to the Pagosa Springs area, building a small cabin in the Aspen Springs Subdivision west of town. After getting their fill of living off the grid full time, they decided to move to Durango and keep the Pagosa property for weekend getaways.
Even Phoenix had been a step away from Anthony Powells boyhood city of Cleveland. He moved to the desert city just after high school and enjoyed the trails there, with two exceptions: It took an hour or more to navigate the growing citys traffic, and there are fees for using the trails, about $6, he said.
The trails he rides for free in the Four Corners definitely are different from the ones he rode around Phoenix. The highest elevation gain in the dry mountains around Phoenix is a little less than 3,000 feet.
Some of the trails included in Powells guide can gain as much as 6,000 to 7,000 feet, depending on where the rider starts and finishes.
An example is his inclusion of Engineer Mountain. This trail takes the biker to the 11,700-foot base of the mountain.
Another breathless ascent is the Kennebec Pass trail, which takes the rider from the 10,300-foot pass to 6,900-foot Junction Creek Trailhead. That trek includes a four-mile-high climb in the middle.
Despite his devotion to the project, Powell maintained his Phoenix graphic design customers and still works for them long distance. The completion of the guide does free up some of his time, though not necessarily for work.
I can now get back to pleasure riding, he said, (and) not stop to put in waypoints or take photos.

Personality is another, but those are secondary qualities of cartoons. Well, actually maybe throbbing is pretty important since it is hard to imagine live action being able to throb to the beat.
1) Visual Metaphor - the hand with the vice grip. It's a good gag, and appropriate to the character and story, but kind of obvious since it is half literary.
2) The Eye gag - this one is more creative because it just comes out of nowhere. When I show the clip at festivals, the hand gag gets smiles, but the eye gag gets huge laughs. it's less expected.
I wonder if this is one of Dave Fleischer's gags. I talked to Shamus Culhane and Myron Waldman and they both sort of complained about how Dave would come around and make them add gags that were really out there. Good for Dave, I say!

Artist - Sougwen Chung
Sougwen Chung, Drawing Operations (Collaboration), 2015
September 6, 2015
Drawing Operations is an ongoing collaboration between an artist and a robotic arm. The project investigates ideas of automation, autonomy, and collaboration as an exercise in behavioral empathy.
Sougwen Chung and her Drawing Operations Unit: Generation 1, (D.O.U.G._1) explore mimicry and procedural mark-making as a simple drawing performance between a human and mechanical agent. Alongside developer Yotam Mann, the behavior of the robotic arm was designed to mimic the drawn gesture in real time through the use of a ceiling-mounted camera and computer vision. As D.O.U.G., the robotic arm, interprets the mark of the drawing collaborator, the human agent then responds in kind, resulting in a synchronous, interpretive performance.
Drawing Operations is the first stage of an ongoing study examining human and robotic interaction as an artistic collaboration. Further stages include will examine memory, autonomy, and agency.
Sougwen Chung, Artist
In collaboration with
Yotam Mann
Commissioned by
New Inc / New Museum
New Hive
Thanks to Square Fabrication, & Slanted Studios.
Debuted at Rebull Studios NY.
This artist built a robot to draw with her
Published on Mar 27, 2016
Artist Sougwen Chung built a robot arm that draws in harmony with her in order to gain a better understanding of how humans relate to robots. With the project, dubbed "Drawing Operations Unit" (or DOUG for short), she hopes to counter prevailing media representations of robots as adversarial to their human counterparts. Check out the video above to see Chung and DOUG in action.

The Colombia striker's late strike was not enough for Diego Simeone's side in Moscow and even the late sending off of Cesar Navas failed to spoil the home team's night
The Colombia international slotted home in the final 10 minutes but it was not enough to stop the Spanish side from being beaten 2-1 on aggregate.
Cesar Navas was sent off late on for a tough tackle on Falcao, but Atletico couldn't make their numerical advantage count and must now concentrate on securing qualification for the Champions League in La Liga.
Needing at least two goals to give themselves a chance of progression, the visitors started in positive fashion, and Falcao needed less than three minutes to test Sergey Ryzhikov as his effort from the edge of the area was tipped over.
The Russian outfit were happy to defend in numbers after their victory in the first leg, and despite Cristian Rodriguez testing Ryzhikov from all of 40 yards with a swerving effort, they were comfortable in dealing with the Atletico threat.
The home side did have a chance of their own when Roman Eremenko shot straight at Sergio Asenjo, but Diego Simeone's side remained the more adventurous and Raul Garcia was the next to try his luck from distance, but his effort flew just wide of the post.
With just under 10 minutes until the break, the Liga outfit were almost handed the opening goal as Ryzhikov flapped at a cross, and with the ball bobbling goalwards after bouncing off Sergei Kislyak, Oleg Kuzmin hacked it away off the line.
Garcia headed straight at the goalkeeper from the resulting corner as the pressure increased on the home side's goal, but they could not break the deadlock before half-time.
Former Spain Under-21 international Garcia was looking the most likely for Atletico, and he again managed to fire off a shot from distance early in the second period, though it never looked like troubling Ryzhikov.
Rubin were very happy to sit on their lead, though they nearly put the tie beyond doubt as an error from Cata Diaz allowed striker Rondon a clear run on goal, but Asenjo saved well with his feet.
With the match entering its final 30 minutes, teenager Saul Niguez burst through the hosts' defence, but just as he shaped to shoot, Navas slid in and pulled off a superb block.
The visitors did eventually get their goal with seven minutes left on the clock, as the much-coveted Falcao squeezed Adrian's cross from the left just under the body of Ryzhikov's from close-range.
Navas was given his marching orders in the final minute of normal time after a tough challenge on Falcao, but the Russian outfit held out to reach the last 16 of the competition.

It's perhaps hard to believe that a managerial departure can shock football fans any more but, judging by the Tweets of our favourite football stars over the last 24 hours, it seems that Alex McLeish's exit from Nottingham Forest has done just that.
Of course, not everyone is caught up in reality, with diving fans, almost-stolen cars and long-overdue haircuts also on the agenda on Twitter.
Find all this and more in Tuesday's edition of Word on the Tweet...
"What is going on at Nottingham Forest?"
West Brom defender Steven Reid puts it more politely than many Forest fans.
"Said all along Forest need Forest people around club/managing. In absence of common sense though, Nigel Adkins gets my vote."
Does club legend Stan Collymore quite know what he's suggesting with "Forest people"? Job's probably yours if you fancy it, though, Stan.
"Just seen the fan that jumped on the keeper. That's crazy. Has someone got to get seriously hurt with a weapon before something is done?"
Sunderland clanger-dropper Titus Bramble slams the behaviour of a 17-year-old Gillingham fan who performed an odd tribute to Tom Daley in the direction of Wycombe goalkeeper Jordan Archer. (Seriously, though, it was sort of funny.)
"I'm such a dope at times. Parked car, paid for parking, went to meeting, returned 2 hours later, keys in, engine running... Warm though."
And Gary Lineker catches a case of Paul Scholes-itis. For the non-millionaires amongst us, this might be a slightly more harrowing experience.
"I'm in shock and worried about the clean game hope its not true how can you fixe a football game."
QPR defender Christopher Samba, a man earning £100,000 per week at a club with a 17,000-capacity stadium, is concerned about the way in which the modern game is going.
"Thank u 2all BRFC fans 4there nice tweets, I'll b doing my Very best 2 repay u all with the Goals 2help get bk 2the prem!!! God bless u all."
DJ Campbell is thankful for the welcome from Birmingham City fans. Best not mention the tweets that Hull City fans are sending since your last-minute change of heart, DJ.
"Well decision made 15th feb .... The ponytail is going, short back and sides for savage !!"
GOOD NEWS! Robbie Savage has finally vowed to get rid of his woeful barnet. Perhaps his punditry will be next.
"Sick of trying"
Part-time Newcastle United stiker and full-time nutter Nile Ranger is tired of... something. Learning French perhaps?

Phoronix: ATI Radeon HD 3400, 3600 Series
AMD has today announced the ATI Radeon HD 3400 and 3600 series graphics processors, which are the budget-minded siblings to the Radeon HD 3850 and 3870. The graphics cards currently now shipping in these series are the HD 3450, HD 3470, and HD 3650. When the Radeon HD 3850 and 3870 were introduced, there wasn't same-day Linux support but it had arrived both in open and closed-source forms relatively quickly, but is that the same story for these lower-end solutions? Will the DisplayPort interface on these graphics cards be supported under Linux? In this article, we have answers to these questions.
No announcement yet.

ye, dont expect to see some hybrid action just yet ?
well is just that the 3870 X2 is 2 3870 @825 mhz 1800 mhz mem, abit diffrent from the 3870, but the cool thing, it behave like a single card, and the Hybrid cf is also transparent for the game, just as the 3870X2 which ran CF in non cf supported games.
we might see amd doing something smart here .
NOTICE: i dont say the driver doesnt do it, but might be a chance we will see CF support when it comes to X2 and hybrid cf. i surely hope my 3870 X2 will work correctly under linux.

hd video depends highly on the codec. If you encode em using xvid, mpeg2, pure mpeg4 not h264 or wmv it should work relatively easy. The problem begins with h264, even latest ffmpeg code is much slower than similar windows codecs, therefore there are projects like:
You can not use more than xv usually on linux so you need a really powerful cpu. If you have lots of time recode to xvid or mpeg4...

Honestly, as a non-gamer and Linux user, I'd like to see less emphasis on gaming FPS numbers, and more on how well these cards handle more office oriented tasks.
That's why I requested some time ago an IGP roundup that focused more on things like:
- How easy are they to set up?
- How stable are they?
- How good are they for HD video playback?
- How good for normal desktop effects?
- How about Google Earth?
- And Tux Racer? (He, a little basic gaming from time to time can't hurt anyone :-) )
All the above with Free and non-Free drivers to see the differences/benefits of both.
However, I'm not sure what's the target of the lower end discrete graphic cards. Are they for gamers who can't afford better ones or buying the latest games? Or are they for non-gamers who need extra power for some special task (HD Video editing?,..)?

Good to see lower end ATI cards!
This is good news! I'm looking to build a new system and I wanted to go with ATI cards to help support their support of OpenSource drivers. I really don't want proprietary ones in my system if I can help it.
I'm currently running a Matrox G450 AGP and it's showing it's age. The lack of any OpenGL support is really starting to hurt me, esp in such programs as Stellarium.
But still, for me, the 2-d graphics is the key issue. I'm still on a CRT, so razor sharp text is key, that's why I got the Matrox in the first place. Yes, I'll upgrade to LCD at some point.
So when you do test these cards, I'd love to see 2-d display characteristics looked at, esp compared (if possible) to the older classic cards which did a great job in this area.
Honestly, as a non-gamer and Linux user, I'd like to see less emphasis on gaming FPS numbers, and more on how well these cards handle more office oriented tasks. Though video editing in Kino or some other program should also be considered and tested, to see if there's any help.
Thanks for your work, I'll keep checking, can't wait for a review! The price points just look too good.

Well, it's good to see that the open source team is getting the needed information for basic support.
As for missing the crossfire support...its not something I really mind. However, for hybrid, it would be nice to have that support.

Set of four Liston-type amputation knives, London, England, 1860-1926
Liston-type knives are long-bladed knives with one completely sharp edge and are used for various amputations. They are named after their designer, Robert Liston (1794-1847), the pioneering Scottish surgeon. These particular knives have textured handles to improve grip, although this was a feature that Liston described as unnecessary. Krohne & Sesemann were half brothers who set up a surgical instrument making business in London in 1860 and supplied many of the London hospitals.

Breaking News
Al Roker seems to be a happy camper on the "Today" show ... despite the alleged tension between himself and Matt Lauer ... and the proof lies in an audio clip the public wasn't supposed to hear.
Roker was doing his usual weather thing this morning ... when he tossed to the local anchors for the local weather report. For some reason, WNBC in New York didn't cut away from the "Today" feed ... and continued to air footage that Al, Matt and the rest of the unsuspecting gang didn't think was being broadcasted.
During the rare behind-the-scenes moment, Al was pretty funny ... happily babbling to himself while Matt and Natalie Morales had a friendly exchange over how to pronounce the name of Amanda Knox's former boyfriend.
Al chimed in during the debate ... with a song. It's pretty funny ...check it out.

2011 Melges 32 U.S. National Championship Kicks Off In Rye
9 June 2011
Rye, NY - USA - The sixth running of the Melges 32 U.S. National Championship, hosted by theAmerican Yacht Club in Rye, New York has been officially declared open. After an unseasonably hot and humid day of preparation, all teams are cleared to race and set to compete for one of the class' most coveted titles, that of U.S. National Champion.
Ryan DeVos (Macatawa Bay, Mich.) on Volpe, reigning champion, is not in attendance to defend the title, therefore the crown is up for grabs, standing by to be awarded. In 2011, Nationals is all about quality versus quantity. With a record breaking attendance level predicted for the World Championship in Palma, Spain later in the year, the vast majority of the fleet has already began to migrate to Europe, leaving this prime time trophy available for taking. The fleet is decorated with ten teams from the U.S., one entry from the British Virgin Islands and another from Japan, adorned with some of the most talented sailing superstars in the world.
All bets are on Gold Cup and Key West champion tactician Chris Larson aboard Rod Jabin's Ramrod. Larson best described this weekend's Long Island Sound weather patterns and predictions forecast as 'going to be difficult.' In recent months, Jason Carroll's Argo with Cameron Appleton on tactics has found a new lease on life, and most especially on the race course. Carroll took a proud third in Miami and another in Scarlino, Italy, the second event of the 2011 Audi Sailing Series.
Another interesting highlight regarding extraordinary tacticians is aboard North American Fleet President John Taylor's Ninkasi and Takashi Okura's SLED. Riding along with Taylor is 2005 Corinthian Melges 24 World Champion Marty Kullman, while Okura looks to reap the benefits of recently crowned 2011 Corinthian Melges 24 World Champion Eiichiro Hamazaki.
The International Melges 32 Class is proud to welcome brand new owner Benjamin Schwartz onPisces. Schwartz has come to Nationals clearly prepared and by all standards, is in very good hands with Charlie McKee as tactician.
The 2011 Melges 32 USA Sailing Series continues with Nationals acting as the next major milestone. It is Event No. 4 in a series of seven super North American regattas. Currently in the overall lead is Italy's Lanfranco Cirillo on Fantastica, followed by Joel Ronning's Catapult and Phil Lotz's Arethusa. Not one of these fine competitors are in attendance to defend their positions leaving Alexis Michas'Zetiana (ranked fourth) and Geoff Pierini's Shakedown (ranked sixth) poised to move up in points as competition at Nationals offers a bonus participation incentive.

There is probably no more divisive topic in the Church right now than the subject of gay marriage.
Catholics, particularly younger Catholics, increasingly mirror the rapid change in attitudes toward same-sex marriage that has typified both popular and legal opinion. The Church finds itself pinned between its assessments that homosexual acts are gravely disordered, that sex outside of marriage is wrong and that marriage is meant to be only between a man and a woman, and its affirmation of God's love and mercy for all and the pastoral understanding that flows from this affirmation.
On the one hand, the Catechism of the Catholic Church makes clear what has been its historic teaching regarding sexuality and marriage. On the other hand, the words of Pope Francis, oft quoted even if oft out of context, are now used to beat anyone who tries to defend what the catechism teaches: "Who am I to judge?"
While much has been made of the recent resignation of the head of Mozilla, Brendan Eich, because he supported Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage, less noticed have been signs that Catholics who defend the Church's position on gay marriage and related issues may be judged offensive by fellow Catholics. Within the last month, talks on these topics by Father Francis Hoffman in Rhode Island and Sister Jane Dominic Laurel in North Carolina have provoked local firestorms of controversy from Catholic parents and students and fumbled apologies by school administrators.
No transcripts or recordings have been released of the talks so that observers can judge for themselves if the remarks were "cruel, condemnatory and totally unchristian," as one parent claimed. It seems hard to believe, however, that — one being a priest of Opus Dei (and a columnist for Our Sunday Visitor's magazine The Catholic Answer), and the other being a Nashville Dominican — either of them strayed very far from the teaching of the Church.
What is not hard to believe is that many Catholics no longer accept the Church's teaching. Natural law arguments mean nothing, because gay marriage is understood solely as a matter of love and civil rights. To oppose both love and civil rights in our society is to be a very bad person. If you have qualms about it, you are advised to keep your qualms in the closet.
This leads me to hazard a few conclusions:
The pressure on the Church, already enormous because of the clergy abuse scandals and the HHS mandate, is likely to grow exponentially because of the turnaround of public opinion on same-sex marriage. The Church's teachings are now not just something to be argued with, but to be condemned out of hand as bigoted.
As a result, the Church must find new ways, even a new language to articulate its teachings on marriage and sexuality to its own people. (John Cavadini's article in the Feb. 16 issue of OSV Newsweekly was such an effort.) It is clear that its teachings pose a big problem for the majority of young Catholics. It is posing a problem for many middle-aged Catholics as well.
To articulate these teachings effectively, it isn't enough to approach the subject as a matter of discrete categories worthy of condemnation: abortion, birth control, divorce, same-sex marriage. The entire ecology of Catholic moral thought in this area must be communicated as something more than a series of "thou shalt nots."
This fall the extraordinary synod on the family will be held in Rome. How it will address the issues of marriage, sex and family will be closely watched, but it is safe to predict now that whatever statements are issued, this will continue to be a painfully divisive issue in the West.

By Andrew Brandt and Brenden Vaughan
As we've seen for the past several months, a celebrity ended up the top news story, which started a cascade of malware distributors racing to get their driveby pages to the top of search results. Today's victim/subject is Roman Polanski, the renowned film director arrested on decades old charges of statutory rape. This kind of gossipy, tabloid headline is like candy for rogue antivirus distributors.
We began our search the minute we found out the news, and yes, within about half an hour of the story breaking, the pages began appearing in the search results on various engines. While some of the malicious pages were linked to search terms based on the name of the director, many also reference his victim, Samantha Geimer. The results redirect you into a fake virus scan page, which in turn leads you to a download of Windows PC Defender, a known rogue in the same vein as Antivirus 2010 and the other scam fantivirus tools so popular among Web criminals this year. Trojan-IM.Win32.Faker, indeed.
Not only does this rogue pretend to be an anti-malware tool, but it throws a monkey wrench into almost any existing protection, adding Image File Execution Options registry keys that prevent nearly all legitimate free and commercial antimalware tools from running. It also drops a Hosts file which prevents infected computers from contacting 12 payment processing domains associated with Antivirus 2010, and redirects all Google (including nearly 200 international Google domains), Yahoo, MSN, and Bing search results through a server belonging to search-gala.com, whose IP address is geolocated to an ISP in Brampton, Ontario, Canada (go Timberwolves!).
Not content to be a single-solution product, Windows PC Defender is a full faux-suite, offering completely fictitious desktop firewall results as well as antivirus. The rogue uses a modified copy of a free tool called Multi Password Recovery to extract your Windows license and display it in the firewall "alert," presumably to raise the anxiety level of person who sees the "warning" message. The warning claims that "your computer is making an unauthorized personal data transfer" to an IP address assigned to NASA, which is currently not in use. Because everyone knows NASA wants your Windows license key, for, you know, space missions. amirite? Could an imaginary anti-phishing toolbar be around the corner? Who knows what's next for these enterprising, though predictable, con artists.
Not to be outdone, distributors of black market drugs began using Twitter to spread ads as well, with an under-140-character tagline promising juicy Polanski-arrest news. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but it's probably best to steer clear of links to unfamiliar sites, especially those promising revealing or "previously undisclosed" pictures, movies, or other such nonsense.

Bulldogs Open Ivy Play With Two Wins
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Yale softball team opened Ivy League play in impressive fashion. Ashley Sloan's two-out RBI single capped a six-run sixth inning as Yale rallied from a 7-2 deficit to beat Columbia 8-7 and earn a doubleheader sweep in the Ivy League openers for both team. Kayla Kuretich tossed a five-hit shutout to lead the Bulldogs to a 6-0 victory in the first game.
Kuretich was outstanding in the circle in the opener. She struck out five in earning her third win of the season. Holly Gutterud knocked in three runs, and Meg Johnson went 3-for-3 with three runs scored to pace the offense.
The Bulldogs jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Gutterud's sacrifice fly to centerfield.
Christy Nelson started a two-run rally in the fourth with a double. Johnson followed with a bunt single and promptly stole second. Gutterud then delivered a two-run single to centerfield.
Sloan's speed helped Yale manufacture a run in the fourth. She led off with an infield single and moved to second on Allie Canulli's ground out. Sloan then stole third and scored on an error by the shortstop.
The Bulldogs added two more runs in the sixth. Johnson doubled and scored on Mariclaire Rebman's single to center. Rebman later scored on Kelsey Warkentine's sacrifice fly.
The situation looked bleak for Yale in the second game after Maggie Johnson's two run single in the fourth gave Columbia a 7-2 lead. The Bulldogs' bats, though, came alive in the sixth with the help of some defensive miscues by the Lions. Canulli started the rally by working a walk. After Lauren Huddleston reached on an error, Nelson belted her third home run of the season to cut the deficit to 7-5.
Walks to Johnson and Jennifer Ong kept the inning going, and when Lexi Peacock's single was misplayed by the centerfielder, Yale had tied the score at 7-7. Peacock was credited with one RBI on the play. Sloan's RBI single up the middle capped the scoring.
Gutterud pitched 4.1 innings of relief without allowing an earned run to earn the victory. She had to work out of a jam in the bottom of the seventh. With two outs, Stephanie Yagi and Aimee Kemp both singled. Gutterud, though, got Anne Marie Skylis to ground out to end the game.
Sloan went 3-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base for the Bulldogs, who had eights in the game.
Yale (6-11) is 2-0 in Ivy play for the first time since 2003. The Lions (0-2 Ivy) dropped to 5-16 overall with the losses.
The Bulldogs travel to Penn for a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 2 p.m. The Quakers swept two games from Brown on Friday.

This feature appears each Monday on the Baltimore Sports Blitz. It's just like "What They're Saying About the Ravens," but it includes blogger Matt Vensel saying something about what those people are saying. Got it?
--- John Eisenberg of Ravens.com said the refs blew some calls, but the officiating didn't doom the Ravens.
"A lot of elements contributed to the Ravens' inability to win a game in which they led most of the way," he wrote. "Some of those elements -- i.e., the questionable calls of the replacement officials -- can't be controlled. And hey, while the refs did blow a lot of calls, they didn't decide the game. 'It went both ways,' Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said in the midst of a post-game plea to get the regular refs back on the field as soon as possible. But there were issues the Ravens could control that cost them dearly, even more than the calls. One was the way they forgot about the running game in the second half, especially in short-yardage situations."
Matt's take: I agree with this 100 percent, and I will always agree with this line of thinking unless there is something totally egregious like a receiver being mugged while trying to catch a late touchdown pass. The officiating was inconsistent and the officials' inability to take control turned Sunday's game into a total clown show. But that wasn't a fumble by Michael Vick in the closing minutes and even if that offensive pass interference penalty on Jacoby Jones was the wrong one, the Ravens still had ample opportunities to put this game away. I get them wanting to punt the replacement officials, but they should be kicking themselves first.
--- Clark Judge of CBSsports.com says Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron has some explaining to do after the 24-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Here we go again. Someone remind him that Ray Rice is in the huddle and that it's OK to give him the ball on third-and-fourth-and short," Clark said. "In the second half the Ravens had two third-and-2s, two third-and-ones and one fourth-and-1, and they never, ever gave the ball to Rice. Instead, they threw, with four incompletions and one interception. Please."
Matt's take: Cam will do his explaining Thursday, and maybe we will learn if it was his calls or Flacco's audibles that led to all those passes in short-yardage situations. Either way, Rice needs to get the rock more, especially when the pass attack falters.
--- Peter King of Sports Illustrated praised Dennis Pitta.
"I think we're seeing an early emphasis on offensive tight ends, and how to cover them, in the season's first two weeks. Dennis Pitta of the Ravens could be the latest tight end to emerge as a star," King wrote in his "Monday Morning Quarterback" column.
Matt's take: Hop aboard the bandwagon, Peter. Pitta probably has the best hands on the team and he consistently gets open on short and intermediate routes. Flacco targeted Pitta 15 times Sunday -- three more targets than he had to his entire wide receiver corps -- and has thrown to him 24 times in two games. Pitta has 13 catches for 138 yards and a touchdown this season and should be heavily involved in the offense going forward.
--- Kareem Copeland of NFL.com said the no-huddle offense was no good against the Eagles, especially because Ray Rice seemed to be a secondary option in the second half.
"Is Rice now a high-priced decoy? Rice had 16 carries for 99 yards against the Eagles. He had 10 carries for 68 yards in Week 1," he wrote. "Rice was praising the new role just a week ago. That's the difference between a win and a loss. Like we said then, if Rice can be Plan B and the team continues to win -- it's all good. But if Flacco goes 22-of-42 passing like he did Sunday and the losses pile up, the Rice question will be asked more and more."
Matt's take: Rice's limited workload is definitely a problem, but I think we are comparing apples and oranges here. Rice could have had 20-plus carries in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals if the Ravens would have put him in to grind out to clock. Instead, they opted to keep him on the sideline. But Sunday was a different story, and the decision to throw the ball instead of running it with Rice in short-yardage situations led to some head-scratching.
--- Will Brinson of CBSSports.com gave the Ravens a C-plus grade for Sunday, and chimed in about the Joe Flacco debate.
"Kiss the 'Joe Flacco's elite' talk goodbye for a bit, but nice to see Dennis Pitta shining again," wrote Brinson, who gave the Eagles a solid B for their part in the outcome.
Matt's take: The "Joe Flacco's elite" talk seemed premature after one game and dismissing it after one game is probably premature, too. So how about we let this one breathe a little bit and check back in February?

Byerly's Halloween Bonanza
BY Adam Aslanian
Byerly's annual Halloween party was last night, and it was a blast as always. I mean when you cram a bunch of dressed up dude bro's (and gals) in a bar and throw a dance party, how could you go wrong, Unfortunately, there was no teaser to the next volume video this year, but it went pretty unnoticed as everyone was too busy breaking it down to care. Bt was killing it on the 1's and 2's while Balzer grabbed the mic, and in typical fashion mc'd a costume contest. I am not sure who won it, but between Soderlind dressed like a hobo, pushing a shopping cart around the bar all night, and Nick V dressed up as a box of French fries (or maybe he was frylock, not sure) I was pretty much in tears. Here are some pictures of the night so you can see all these wonderful costumes for yourself….
