For more info please contact us.
See you soon in Bali!
guests will have access to the entire villa and garden plus their private pool
as much as wanted by the guest, but the staff is always around.
this is the nicest area of Ubud, very close to the center but in the rice field area, you will find the better villas in this area.
we have a free shuttle to ubud center. and a driver that can organise every trip wanted.
the area has some good organic farms
The villa is better then the pictures show! we love the place.
We had a very nice time Ari and Made took very good care of us and Kim is a great host.
The beds are very comfortable, there is a big bed and some smaller beds, the bathrooms and the house was very clean and the free transport to the center was good, they give a free 1 hour return but we needed a little more time so we used the second voucher to get back for free. the villa is very private and the rice fields around the villa are beautiful.
we did not know but there is a security man every night so that was a great surprise. We wanted to party in Ubud but bars close already at 01.00am so we had our last drinks at home :-)
thank you very much we hope to be back soon!
I stayed here for 2days, and it's exactly like & better than the pictures. I loved the pool and bed sofa in living room.
Ari was kind and helpful during the stay, Mare also took good care of house. I certainly enjoyed this stay, and sure that who love to swim will fall in love with this beautiful place!
However house is little bit far from ubud centre, not a walk distance, you need to arrange transfer. Villa provide one-way free transfer a day, so you need to arrange another way by your self you call Ari, he'll arrange driver kindly but it's not free. So I used free pick up service when I go out for spa/restaurant if they provide.
and it'll be very helpful if villa put a paper with place of detail in Indonnesian/English so can just show driver to find. I guess it's impossible to explain the place in English
thank you!
Thank you very much for staying with us!
thank you so much for the tips we will put a detailed map in the villa how to get back, the return from now on will be 1 hour and if you need more time you can use a second free voucher.
we hope to see you back soon!
thank you very much

We had a wonderful stay and couldn't be happier with Kim's villa. The staff was great and even during the rainy season it was beautiful. I would have no hesitation about returning again.
We had a great 3 days in Kim's villa in February, would have stayed longer if it had been possible.
The villa looks EXACTLY like shown on the photos, so I can NOT confirm Kate's negative review, especially her complaining about the "unbalinese finish", which she could have seen from the photos. We arrived 1 day after she was supposed to check in.
The house is very spacious and filled with light. Great couch in the living area, fully equipped open kitchen, free drinking water. Nice infinity pool with rice-field and jungle view in the backyard. Stable free WiFi connection and a cellphone for calling the manager/staff are offered, too. There are also a modern flat-screen TV-set and a sound-system in the living area.
Beds could be larger,but they are very clean and comfortable, though. They also have mosquito-nets, which you cannot see in the pictures. The air-cons in the bedrooms are pleasantly quiet. Everything was well clean. Breakfast is OK, but could offer more choices.
The location is great - a 10-15 minute drive from/to the center of Ubud. We've had our own rented car, so we didn't use the shuttle service. As the villa is located north of Ubud, you don't have to drive through the traffic jams in the south, just drive down the north-south road (Jalan Sriwedari) and you are in the "Jalan Raya Ubud" (Ubud Main Street) near the famous "Nomad" restaurant.
There are a couple of "warungs" and at least one spa in walking distance.
Ari is very caring and helps you with all your concerns/questions instantly on the phone, Kim does so via Email. We didn't meet any of them, but it was no problem at all, as everything went well and the on-site staff were all very friendly, also.
We've had a great time and definitely enjoyed our stay here!
Dear Eugen, thank you very much for staying with us and for your review. I will definitely start to improve our breakfast choices more in the coming weeks. we are also thinking of preparing it it directly inside the villa.
we really hope you will be back in the future. kind regards
Kim van Nie
The photos are quite deceiving. Probably the worst rush construction job I have ever seen, even in Bali, where these "throw up a cheap villa in a rice field" monstrosities are not uncommon. The bathrooms were dirty, the grout already black in between the mislaid tiles. The bedrooms smelled like either mold or noxious construction chemicals. Tiny, cheap, uncomfortable beds. The entrance to the villa was still under construction when we arrived, so much so that we drove by it twice, thinking it could not possibly be our rental. The kitchen cabinets are falling apart, despite purportedly having been installed less than two months ago ("construction completed in December 2013"). Like so many "new construction villas" in Bali, this one is absolutely charmless, with its cheap white tiles and decidedly un-Balinese finishes. The "staff" appeared to be a young man living across the street, and the "driver" will bring you to Ubud once per day, but will not wait for longer than an hour, requiring a taxi ride back to the villa. Luckily, we live in Bali and were able to make the trip back home for the night, so we put our bags back into the car and left within an hour, embarrassed for having subjected our out of country visitor to this villa, and to Ubud in general. The owner, who lives up the street, was quite understanding, and promptly refunded our money through airbnb. I feel very sorry for anyone who experiences Bali through this type of arrangement. There are much, much better, and likely more affordable, options. Hati-hati when booking something like this site unseen on the internet. Bali is not as it looks in so many ways.
Airbnb has come to our villa to make all the pictures, we choose that option because like that we hope that the pictures are as real as you can get it.
This guest did not stay at our villa, and did not pay she left 5 minutes after arriving, she did not want to talk to us and was aggressive to the staff, her husband did like the villa.
the villa is a couple of weeks old, this means that some things are not perfectly installed by the contractor and are replaced in these first weeks, so we work with a 99usd price, When the guest arrived the contractor was replacing a small part of the kitchen set and fixed a part in the bathroom and gate,
Made one of our staff members (not across te street, I don't get that remark) was cleaning the villa all morning and also the things some workers left behind.
the workers left directly when this guest arrived (the guest arrived before the official checkin time)
I personally checked the villa that morning if it was clean and ready, I also bought a new baby crib specially for this guest as requested.
I the owner am not "quite understanding" about the fact there was no communication possible with this guest anyhow of course I refunded the money, I have tried to talk with this guest on arrival but she did not want to talk to me, I have emailed her a couple of times but no reply
kind regards
Thanks to Kim and his staff (Made&Ari). Your villa is lovely. Your staff is friendly and very helpfull. We are enjoyed! Will be back soon ;)
Good for the price.
Not a balinese house but clean and comfortable. A new villa with things to be improved. A quiet area with an easy access to Ubud (driver on demand). Harry is very helpful for everything and very kind but Made (assistant for the villa) doesn't speak english very well, so not always easy to communicate.
Breakfast is a little bit light and could be better.
It was a pleasant stay there, four days in january 2014.
Awesome place to stay! Kim and the crew were so helpful in organizing rides + Made and Ari really kept the place clean and efficient. Great looking spot with a good location right outside of the center of Ubud.
New villa. Great staff (Ari and Made) who try and make your stay as comfortable as possible.
With friendly helpful staff, this place was a relaxing place to stay out of the hustle of Ubud.

Surprised this isn't already on the list. More for the manga fans than anyone, but:
www.the bookdepository.co.uk Free worldwide shipping, even if you only order 1 book, and prices are comparable, if not cheaper than Amazon. Lots of stock, as well. Very prompt shipping to the UK, obviously. I've had stuff delivered in 2 days. And from my home city: www.animez.co.uk Lovely little shop that sells figures, T-shirts and other merch, both imported from Japan, and produced in the West. It's all genuine, and they have an online store as well. I know nothing about figures, but they seem to carry quite a few straight from Japan and their prices seem reasonable. If you're ever in Newcastle, pop in |

HURRICANE - On Tuesday night, Woodrow Wilson found itself on the road in a place it was beaten last year, facing an unbeaten Hurricane team without two of its starters, and starting a freshman in the post in just his second career high school game.
In other words, there were plenty of reasons why the Flying Eagles could've lost, but in the face of adversity, Woodrow did everything it took to win.
Five of the seven players who saw the court scored in double figures and a 24-11 scoring advantage in the fourth quarter allowed Woodrow (2-0) to run away with an 83-66 win in an early-season Mountain State Athletic Conference showdown.
"This is a team we feel pretty good about as far as being scrappy," Woodrow Wilson coach Ron Kidd said. "They're real scrappy and they play hard every possession. They might throw the ball all over the gym but they scrap."
The Eagles were without the services of normal starters Juwan Walton and Daizjuan Fortune, but still came up with more than enough to win thanks to a solid 18-point, nine-assist night from senior point guard Andrew Johnson and quite the debut from Nequan Carrington.
The 6-foot-3 freshman scored 17 points, including eight in the first quarter and had 10 rebounds as part of a relentless swarming of the glass by Woodrow that turned out to be a huge factor, especially late.
"He's going to be extremely big-time player by the time he leaves this program," Kidd said. "He worked hard in the preseason and he's still working hard. He's first in every drill we do."
Carrington will likely have to keep up the heroics for a while as Fortune will be out 4-to-6 weeks with a fractured collarbone, rib, and finger, and Walton's return is uncertain.
The freshman's early scoring helped Woodrow jump out to a 21-11 lead after the first quarter and the deficit grew as large as 16 in the second before Hurricane's bench pulled the Redskins back within striking distance.
Leading the charge was Garrett DeFries, who scored 12 of his game-high 20 points in the second quarter for Hurricane after taking just one shot in the first eight minutes, allowing the Redskins (3-1) to claw to within four points at the break.

Joel is the reason we have 4 martins in the family. His help will be missed and may be the reason i jump ship pn my next purcjase
I would also like to thank Joel,he has helped me a couple times in the past and one thing he always returned my calls promptly,more than I can say for other CS of certain companies.He is one of the main reasons I still keep the Firecat.
Good luck and thanks for all you have done for me and the other Martin shooters.

ah sorry, for some reason my phone seems to ignore videos on this forum from time to time. Pretty sweet goal indeed. Van der Vaart has a nice back heel one as well.
Funny enough he replaced Ibra in that match
This was the volley from last week btw, compared to the van Basten volley.
from a high ball, outside foot curve, right into the cross. Not too bad neither
Taison has a little more room and space to work with, but it's still a cracking volley.
The Van Basten one is special because there's only one possible way he could have it that and got a goal, everything else would have been blocked, missed, saved or hit a psot.
As a fan of England, I have to say that goal was just amazing. Watched it several times and disagree that it was pure luck. Mostly skill, with an element of luck, but what doesn't involve luck with sport these days?
Zlatan is the best Swedish player I've had the pleasure watching. No one really compares.
He pretty much got it all, fantastic view of the field and football thinking, all the assists and opening passes he does regularly, some of the stuff I've seen him do over the years is just mad, he got eyes in the back of his head, something that is often overlooked, incredible physic, absolute beast of a man, he's so fucking strong, remember Lescott in the Euros? Not a little guy, Zlatan made him look like a little girl lol... ice cold pen taker, he nails them every time nowdays(something that has improved a lot over the years, used to be shaky on the pen spot), extremly solid goal scorer, good on the head, great technic, pretty fast and explosive, can dribble as good as the best when it wants to.
He has carried team after team after team to league and cup wins. He delievers on a weekly basis and has done so for several years running.
Great captain to btw, Mellberg(was always my fave) was perfect as well, but Zlatan is right up there, always treat the young and new guys in the national team with respect and takes them under his wing, it's a pleasure watching Sana(new guy-Ajax) and him having a laugh for example, and oh yeah, he seems like a pretty great dude off the pitch as well, really no wonder that he and Mellberg are best mates.

Shit like this actually goes through your fucking brain?

During national games yea, he is not really notorius for disappearing from other games. That is a british myth due to poor knowledge.Ibrahimovic has scored some great goals, but he's also notorious for disappearing during big away fixtures.
Scoring the winning goal in El Classico etc.
---------- Post added 2012-11-15 at 10:39 PM ----------
No but Zlatan has done more. I rate Larsson among the best in swedish fotball history. Zlatan is above him and many argue he is above the famous swedish players back in Italy in the 50/60ies as well.
Id say Larsson was better just because he seemed so much more consistent. The guy was gaurenteed to score, every damn game you needed him too. His technique was great too and he was everything an out and out striker should be.
Honestly last night was probably the very first time Ive watched a game live and been impressed by Zlatan.
[08:44:11] Kurioxan: as long they get big im alright with that
Zlatan has scored a shit load of goals in almost all clubs he's been in, more goals then Henrik in the national team(and Barcelona as far as I know, and Henrik got 2 seasons with them) to, and Henrik was 36 I think when he quit. Zlatan has scored 38-39 goals now for the national team, in 80-85 caps, and that includes some really important ones to, Italy, Hungary(crazy fucking goal btw, another Zlatan classic, turned on a penny and bombed it up in the corner) etc.
I really, really liked "Henke", but Zlatan is better. Larsson was a fantastic team player, and just an awesome dude in all ways, but individually Zlatan got qualities that Henrik never had.
He's having another great season now in PSG as well.

Shit like this actually goes through your fucking brain?
The best thing about his 4th goal for me was how he read the game. When he saw he wasn't getting to the ball, he backed off. He knew where the other players were to clear the ball and what he had to do to get it in the back of the net. Amazing foresight and athleticism, an incredible goal. My favorite however still is this one...
Probably because that was when i was like 11 and when I could first really appreciate a national competition.
That's not on the same level. Both Maradona and Giggs started runs in their own half, and just simply outran other players as much as they weaved their way around them. Not to mention the finish on Giggs' strike is an insanely tight angle. Look up Maradona vs England (the not hand of God one) and Giggs vs Arsenal, FA Cup Replay.
One time, even Steve Mcmanaman managed to do that. You shouldn't be pointing out one odd game, he should be doing it on a constant basis. He reminds me somewhat of Berbatov. But when you look at his history, 26 goals in 96 games for Juventus? Going two entire seasons without goals in European competition despite 17 appearances over both seasons? Ibrahimovic is a talented footballer, but he's somewhat overrated. You look at the absolute top tier of strikers and he's not in them.During national games yea, he is not really notorius for disappearing from other games. That is a british myth due to poor knowledge.
Scoring the winning goal in El Classico etc.
juventus was many years ago, we're talking about NOW, and he is definitely top3 NOW, no doubt what so ever
I suppose it ain't hard to make goals when the entire teams strategy is about giving you the ball.
Really? You think he's third fiddle to Messi and Ronaldo? I'd personally take Van Persie, Neymar or Falcao over him.
I think he's in a tier with the likes of Gomez, Aguero, Huntelaar and Cavani. They're all world class strikers and would start at just about any club, but the above list of 5 are in a league of their own, the top two being another notch up by themselves.
I would never take RVP over Zlatan, he's had what, 2-3 good seasons when he's scored over 20 goals? He's skilled for sure, but way too injury prone, doesn't have anything in perticular that sets him over Zlatan either as far as skills goes, last year was great for RVP, about as good as Zlatan's as far as goals and assists goes. But there is nothing in him that I see as an advantage over Zlatan.
Shit like this actually goes through your fucking brain?
One of the most memorable goals I ever recall seeing. Just the way he lobs it over before hitting the half volley is beautiful.
Speaking of Volleys....
Best thing about this isn't the strike, but watch him before, Rooney is arguing with the referee right up till the point he turns and shoots. I wish he was still that good.

5 Holiday Safety Risks
The holidays come with hazards, including fire dangers, burglaries and drunken driving.
Fires. Burglaries. Drunken driving. These hazards and others increase during the holiday season. The good news is that you can take steps to prevent falling victim to such dangers. Enjoy the holidays safely with the tips below.
Look After Your Christmas Tree: A neglected Christmas tree can easily become a fire risk. Each year, approximately 240 fires occur because of Christmas trees. The U.S. Fire Administration urges the public to make sure that Christmas trees remain watered. Also, avoid putting Christmas trees near heat sources such as vents and fireplaces, which dry them out.
Take Care of Lights and Candles: Each year 150 residential fires start because of holiday lights and similar decorations. Fire proof your lights by checking to make sure they're not frayed, tangled, or otherwise in disrepair. Never place lit candles on a Christmas tree. Consider skipping real candles in your home period. Opt for battery-operated candles that look and smell like the real thing instead.
Ward Off Burglars: Burglars struck 400,000 times from November to December last year, the Los Angeles Times reported. If you're traveling during the holidays, don't advertise your departure by allowing newspapers to pile up at your door or announcing your trip on Facebook. Protect your car from burglaries by installing an alarm system, motion sensor lighting and keeping valuables out of sight.
Use Space Heaters Sparingly: African Americans are twice as likely to die in residential fires than other groups. They represent 25 percent of fire victims. During the holiday season, fire dangers rise for all groups. Christmas trees, holiday lights and candles add to the risk, as do the space heaters, kerosene heaters and fireplaces people use to keep warm during winter. Avoid a heater-related fire by buying portable heaters that have been evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory. Moreover, the U.S. Fire Administration cautions the public to buy heaters that will turn off automatically if they topple over and to plug heaters directly into wall outlets rather than power strips or extension cords.
Avoid Driving Drunk: Arrange to take a taxi, public transportation or have a sober friend drive you home if you plan on drinking during the holidays. Know if the holiday drinks you're having—eggnog, cider, punch—are alcoholic to avoid unintentionally becoming intoxicated.

(CE:1844a-1845a) ORDINATION, CLERICAL. The right of a bishop to ordain Christians of his diocese as deacons and priests is so generally recognized that the canons of the Coptic church (see CANONS, ECCLESIASTICAL) relate only to abuses: for instance, the ordination of Christians from another diocese or the acceptance of a gift for the ordination. The bishop's right is somewhat restricted through the prescriptions of the canons regarding the ordination of persons as priests and deacons. For ordination to the clergy, the minimum age is twenty-five for a deacon, thirty for a priest. Before ordination, the candidate is to be instructed (see CLERICAL INSTRUCTION) and examined. Since the Council of CHALCEDON (451), ordinations may be only for a definite church office or title, and therefore only at the same time as the installation. The carrying out of the ordination is also described in the canons. Whether the prescriptions of the canons were followed to the letter can be tested from primary sources, texts about ordination in the correspondence of bishop ABRAHAM of Hermonthis in the period around 600. In the texts about the ordination of deacons and priests, the petition for the ordination of a particular person for a particular office is presented by a third party. In Coptic ostracon 36 the bishop is to ordain Isaac as priest at the Church of Saint Mary in Piohe "because the place needs him." At the same time the petitioners (a priest, a scribe, and a reader of the same village) offer security that the ordinand will fulfill his office correctly. The texts contain no statements as to whether the candidate satisfies the conditions contained in the canons, for example, in regard to the minimum age (Krause, 1956, Vol. 1, pp. 42ff.). After the bishop has granted the petition and ordained the candidate, the ordained man himself or other persons on his behalf pledge to the bishop that he will fulfill the duties arising out of his office: the observance or fulfillment of the commandments, the church canons, and professional knowledge; care for the altar or the church; obedience to the bishop and superiors; the learning by heart of a particular Gospel within an appointed time, with a corresponding examination by the bishop. Among the further obligations of the ordained man are the observance of the forty-day fast and of vigils at his sleeping place and on Communion days, the duty of residence, the reciting of prayers, and refraining from trade and the taking of interest. The number of persons who pledge their security before the bishop for the ordained man's observance of the obligations named varies between one and four, and is thus smaller than the number prescribed in the canons. Clergy are frequently punished for offenses against their official duties, according to the sources, by excommunication or expulsion from the clergy. Two documents of appointment have survived from the fourteenth century (Bilabel and Grohmann, 1935). Both were drawn up by Philotheus, bishop of Panopolis and Lycopolis. In the older, dated 2 May 1361, he ordains John, son of Phoibammon, as deacon of the Church of Saint Theodorus of Lycopolis; in the second, dated 12 May 1363, he ordains Gabriel, the son of Misael, as deacon of the Church of Theodorus Stratelates. The documents are written in the Bohairic dialect with an Arabic translation. From the year 1256 a certificate of character has survived in Arabic that concerns a priest and monk named John, who was probably to be named as titular of a church. A document of consecration to the episcopate, dated 16 November 1371, was found in 1964 under the body of a bishop in Qasr Ibrim and published in 1975. In the document the patriarch of Alexandria, GABRIEL IV, makes it known that he has consecrated the former priest Timotheus as bishop of Faras and Nubia. This document bears the names of four bishops as witnesses, two of whom, the bishops of Atrib and Hermopolis, were present at the ceremonial consecration in the "suspended" CHURCH OF AL-MU'ALLAQAH in Old Cairo, and two (the bishops of Qift and Qus) were present at the enthronement. The enthronement took place on 15 February 1372 in the Church of Saint Victor, west of Qamulah. The document was drawn up both in Bohairic and in Arabic. The Arabic original text has often been circulated, for instance, by Abu al-Barakat (Coquin, 1977, p. 142, with references). MARTIN KRAUSE

Netactive SynergieServer Pro
Product Description: Pentium Pro Server machine.
Netactive Systems, LTD.
Price: $3,472 (as of August 5, 1996)
Reviewer: Jonathan Gross
Sitting on my desk is a 100mhz 486DX-4 workstation with 32M of RAM. It has cables falling out of the case, the cover is just sitting on the floor, the wiring is a mess, and god only knows where the manuals for the components are. It took me at least two days to get all the pieces working together, X configured, and everything running relatively smoothly—and probably cost me around $2,000.
My DX4-100 is relatively fast; I can run a couple copies of XEmacs on it, and a kernel compile takes around twelve minutes. Not too bad, and certainly better than the 386-25 sitting in my closet next to it, or the 486-33 in the living room.
The DX4-100 was enough until something happened at work.
A company called Netactive Systems, Ltd. sent Linux Journal a machine to try out—their SynergieServer Pro. My DX4-100 isn't so fast anymore.
I am impressed with Netactive. Usually when you buy a machine, either from a local vendor or mail-order, it is a fairly sterile transaction. You hand them your credit card and they blithely hand you a box full of electronics—it's kind of like going to the Motel 6 of computer stores. Netactive is more like going to the Four Seasons Olympic Hotel to buy a machine.
Every machine is put together by an engineer who approves it for shipping. Before it is shipped the same engineer writes a letter to the recipient explaining the configuration and highlights of the system. An excerpt from ours:
"Fundamentally, it does not take much engineering excellence to put together a great $15,000 dollar Intel-based computer; just buy a couple of everything with a great big name on its shiny new box and throw it together. It does, however, take a little bit of know-how to make a truly great $3,500 machine..."
The letter goes on to explain that they put 64M of RAM and a nice video card into it instead of SCSI Wide because Caldera (the installed Linux) is a GUI environment, and the RAM and good video card are going to be a better use of your money than faster disks.
This is cool. It gives you a much better idea of what is in the machine, and why (and even that there is a "why"!) than the usual random checklist of components does. The random list of components is also included, as is a Sysadmins Configuration Guide, which lists all the configuration settings, from IRQ and hardware addresses to domain name and host name of the machine to the disk partitioning. Both the list of parts and the Sysadmin Configuration Guide are sent loose with the other paperwork, and a second copy is taped to the inside of the case. The other paperwork includes: a warranty certificate (three years limited parts, and five year limited labor), the build sheet, and an invoice, all with customer numbers, job number, and serial number for technical support calls and tracking information.
In the machine is:
Motherboard: Asus P/I-P6NP5, Intel Nanoma (440FX) chipset with 4 PCI slots, 1 PCI/Media Bus, 3 ISA slots, Optional Infra-red port, and 64MB FPM DRAM, and an Intel Pentium Pro 200 Mhz chip (with a bearing heat sink and fan).
Drives: Asus PCI-SC2000 Fast SCSI-II HDD (NCR53c810), with a 2.1 GB Seagate/Conner Fast SCSI-II, Teac CD56S 6x CD-ROM.
Video: Diamond Stealth 64 Video 2001 with 2 MB DRAM, and a Princeton EO15 15" monitor (1280x1024@70Hz, non-interlaced).
And more: 3Com 595-T4 (10/100 MB/sec Ethernet), ESS 1688 16-bit Soundblaster compatible sound card, Logitech mouse, 3.5" floppy drive, Seagate TapeStor T-3200, 3.2 GB Travan Drive, and USR v.34 internal modem, and, of course, all the manuals and documentation for everything neatly packed in Manila envelopes.
This all came in a very nicely configured mid-tower case with a dual fan and 250W power supply with all wires neatly routed and tied off.
Software pre-installed included:
Caldera Network Desktop v1.0
Caldera InterNet Office Suite v1.0
X-Inside Accelerated X Server v1.2
Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso" kernel 2.0.10
Windows NT
Dual Booting under NT Boot Loader
I fired it up, and after figuring out how to work the NT boot loader (which I despise), Linux was all there, configured and running the way it should be running. I never booted NT, but I assume it was configured just as carefully.
NT brought up the one thing I didn't like about this machine. I would rather use LILO to boot Linux, and not have NT on the drive at all—I'm sure this configuration could be requested if you too want a Linux-only set-up.
The system was fast—we ran the informal JonGrossSpeedTest (building a kernel). Note that both machines had enough RAM so that swapping wasn't an issue...
Jon Gross Machine Speed Test results:
For kernel version 2.0.10 on the Netactive machine (timed using time -v):
Command being timed: "make zImage" User time (seconds): 246.31 System time (seconds): 26.29 Percent of CPU this job got: 93% Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 4:50.37
For kernel version 2.0.10 on the DX4-100:
Command being timed: "make zImage" User time (seconds): 881.37 System time (seconds): 117.16 Percent of CPU this job got: 93% Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 17:49.15
Netactive has done a hell of a job putting together a computer system that is fast, neat, clean and would be hard to build for the same price by buying parts off the shelf.
Jonathan Gross is a Perl hacker and wants some faster machines. Donations can be sent to email@example.com.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The Mercedes-Benz Superdome (originally Louisiana Superdome and commonly The Superdome) is a domed sports and exhibition venue, located in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Plans were drawn up in 1967, by the New Orleans modernist architectural firm of Curtis and Davis. Its steel frame covers a 13-acre (5.3 ha) expanse. Its 273-foot (83 m) dome is made of a lamellar multi-ringed frame and has a diameter of 680 feet (210 m), making it the largest fixed domed structure in the world.[6] It is adjacent to the Smoothie King Center.
Because of the size and location in one of the major tourist destinations in the United States, the Superdome routinely makes the "short list" of candidates being considered for major sporting events, such as the Super Bowl, College Football Championship Game and the Final Four. It is the home stadium of the New Orleans Saints American football team.
In 2005, the Superdome gained international attention of a different type when it housed thousands of people seeking shelter from Hurricane Katrina. The building suffered extensive damage as a result of the storm, and was closed for many months afterward.
On October 3, 2011, it was announced that German automaker Mercedes-Benz purchased naming rights to the stadium. The new name took effect on October 23, 2011.[7] It is the third stadium that has naming rights from Mercedes-Benz (and first in the United States), after the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the stadium of Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart, in Stuttgart, Germany and the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China.
The Superdome is located on 52 acres (21 ha) of land, including the former Girod Street Cemetery. The dome has an interior space of 125,000,000 cubic feet (3,500,000 m3), a height of 253 feet (77.1 m), a dome diameter of 680 feet (207.3 m), and a total floor area of 269,000 square feet (24,991 m2).
The Superdome has a listed football seating capacity of 76,468 (expanded) or 73,208 (not expanded) and a maximum basketball seating capacity of 73,432. However, published attendance figures from events such as the Sugar Bowl football game have exceeded 79,000. The basketball capacity does not reflect the NCAA's new policy on arranging the basketball court on the 50-yard line on the football field, per 2009 NCAA policy.[8] In 2011, 3,500 seats were added, increasing the Superdome's capacity to 76,468. The Superdome's capacity was expanded to around 82,000 for WWE WrestleMania XXX.[citation needed]
The chronology of the capacity for football is as follows:
- 74,452 (1975–1978)[9]
- 71,330 (1979–1984)[10]
- 71,647 (1985–1986)[11]
- 69,723 (1987–1990)[12]

- 70,852 (1995)[14]
- 64,992 (1996)[15]
- 69,420 (1997)[16]
- 69,028 (1998)[17]
- 70,054 (1999)[18]
- 64,900 (2000)[19]
- 70,020 (2001)[20]
- 68,500 (2002–2003)[21]

American football[edit]
The Superdome's primary tenant is the NFL's New Orleans Saints. The team regularly draws capacity crowds.[26]
The NFL has hosted seven Super Bowls at the Superdome, most recently Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
Tulane University played their home games at the stadium from 1975-2013 before moving to on-campus, Yulman Stadium.[27]
The BCS National Championship Game was played at the Superdome four times. The College Football Playoff semifinal game is played every three years in the stadium. Two other bowl games are also played there annually: the Sugar Bowl and New Orleans Bowl. The Superdome also hosts the Bayou Classic, a major regular-season game between two of the state's historically black colleges and universities, Grambling State and Southern.
In 2013, the Arena Football League New Orleans VooDoo played their last six home games of the season at the stadium. From 1991-1992 the New Orleans Night of the AFL played at the stadium.
The annual Louisiana Prep Classic state championship football games organized by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association have been held at the Superdome since 1981.
Home field advantage
Since the Superdome's reopening in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the increased success of the New Orleans Saints, the Superdome has developed a reputation for having a very strong home field advantage. While all domed stadiums possess this quality to some degree, the Superdome is known to get extremely loud during games, especially during offensive drives by the visiting team.
During a pregame interview before the Minnesota Vikings' opening game of the 2010 NFL season against the Saints, Brett Favre, reflecting on the Vikings' loss to the Saints in the 2009–10 NFC Championship Game, said of the Superdome: "That was, by far, the most hostile environment I've ever been in. You couldn't hear anything." It was during that loss that some of the Vikings players elected to wear earplugs, including Favre. It was the first game of the season that they had chosen to do so.[28]
The first baseball game in the Superdome was an exhibition between the Minnesota Twins and the Houston Astros on April 6, 1976.[29] The American Association New Orleans Pelicans played at the Superdome during the 1977 season. The Pelicans' season attendance was 217,957 at the dome.[30]
Superdome officials pursued negotiations with Oakland Athletics officials during the 1978–79 baseball off-season about moving the Athletics to the Superdome. The Athletics were unable to break their lease at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and remained in Oakland.[31] Superdome officials met with the Pittsburgh Pirates in April 1981 about moving the club to New Orleans when the Pirates were unhappy with their lease at Three Rivers Stadium.[32]
The New York Yankees played exhibition games at the Superdome in 1980, 1981, 1982, and 1983. The Yankees hosted the Baltimore Orioles on March 15 and 16, 1980. 45,152 spectators watched the Yankees beat the Orioles 9 to 3 on March 15, 1980. The following day, 43,339 fans saw Floyd Rayford lead the Orioles to a 7 to 1 win over the Yankees.[33] Late in 1982, the Yankees considered opening the 1983 regular season at the Superdome if Yankee Stadium would not be ready yet after renovations.[34] Attendance slipped to 15,129 for a March 27, 1983 Yankees-Blue Jays exhibition game at the Superdome.[35] The Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals closed the 1984 spring training season with two games at the dome on March 31, 1984 and April 1, 1984.[36]
When the plaza level seats remained moveable, the capacity for baseball was 63,525. Due to the reconfiguration of the lower bowl that began in 2011, the stadium can no longer host baseball games.
The NCAA has hosted the Men's Final Four at the Superdome five times, most recently in 2012.
The NBA's New Orleans Jazz used the Superdome as their home court, from 1975–1979. In 1977, the Jazz set a then-record in attendance for an NBA game, with 35,077 watching the Jazz led by Pete "Pistol Pete" Maravich against the Philadelphia 76ers,[37] led by fellow future Hall of Famer Julius Erving.
On October 14, 1975, the Dome hosted Muhammad Ali Appreciation Day. The Muhammad Temple of Islam 46 in New Orleans organized the activities, with Ali's appearance as the day's highlight. Speakers included Dr. Na'im Akbar, Wallace D. Muhammad and Louis Farrakhan.[38]
The Superdome hosted the September 15, 1978 fight some called the Ali rematch where Muhammad Ali won the world Heavyweight title for the third time by beating Leon Spinks in front of a crowd of 65,000. It was Ali's last professional win.
Leonard–Durán II, also known as the No Más Fight, took place on November 25, 1980 at the Louisiana Superdome. In the match, Sugar Ray Leonard defeated Roberto Durán to regain the WBC Welterweight Championship. The match gained its famous appellation in the end of the eighth round when Durán turned away from Leonard, towards the referee and quit by saying "No más" (Spanish for "No more").
On December 3, 1982, the Superdome hosted the Carnival of Champions. In the first of two co-main events, Wilfredo Gómez would defend his WBC world Jr Featherweight championship against WBC's world Bantamweight champion Lupe Pintor. In the second, Wilfred Benítez defended his WBC world Jr Middleweight championship against the former WBA Welterweight champion of the world Thomas Hearns.[39]
The USSR National Gymnastics Team performed for the first time in Louisiana in 1976. The Superdome event featured Olga Korbut, Nelli Kim, Nicolai Andrianov and Alexander Dityatin.
At the 1995 U.S. Gymnastics National Championships,[40] Dominique Moceanu became the youngest Womens' All-Around National Champion in U.S. history at 13 years old, a record that still stands.[41] John Roethlisberger also won his fourth and final U.S. Mens' All-Around National Championship.
On June 4, 1977, 40,000 fans watched Jimmy Weinert win the sixth of twelve races for the American Motor Cyclist Association $250,000 Supercross series. 20,000,000 pounds of dirt were piled into the center of the Superdome for the event.[42]
The first soccer match to be held in the Superdome pitted The New York Cosmos and the Dallas Tornado. The Brazilian star Pelé and Kyle Rote, Jr. led their respective teams on September 5, 1976.
The Superdome was renowned for hosting many of Mid-South Wrestling's large, "Blow Off" events that were culminations of weeks or months of feuds and rivalries. Bill Watts was the promoter of this territory and gained much notoriety from promotion of his events in the Superdome.
The thirtieth annual WrestleMania pay-per-view event, WrestleMania XXX will be held at the Superdome on April 6, 2014. This will be the first time WWE will hold its annual event in New Orleans.
Special events[edit]
The Superdome held its official dedication ceremonies on August 3, 1975. Jazz musicians Al Hirt and Pete Fountain played for the event.
Between August 28 and September 14, 1975, the Superdome continued to celebrate its grand opening, with appearances by Bob Hope, Telly Savalas, Dorothy Lamour, Karen Valentine, and Raquel Welch. The Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker band, Wet Willie, the Charlie Daniels band, the O'Jays, the Isley Brothers, the Temptations, Donald Byrd and the Blackbyrds, and the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus also performed.[43]

Beyonce performed at the dome on July 7, 2013 during her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. The concert was a part of the Essence Music Festival and broke the attendance record of the annual festival.[46]
Stadium history[edit]
Sports visionary David Dixon (who decades later founded the United States Football League) conceived of the Superdome while attempting to convince the NFL to award a franchise to New Orleans. After hosting several exhibition games at Tulane Stadium during typical New Orleans summer thunderstorms, Dixon was told by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle that the NFL would never expand into New Orleans without a domed stadium. Dixon then won the support of the governor of Louisiana, John McKeithen. When they toured the Astrodome in Houston, Texas in 1966, McKeithen was quoted as saying, "I want one of these, only bigger," in reference to the Astrodome itself. Bonds were passed for construction of the Superdome on November 8, 1966, seven days after commissioner Pete Rozelle awarded New Orleans the 25th professional football franchise. The stadium was conceptualized to be a multifunctional stadium for football, baseball and basketball [with moveable field level stands that would be arranged specifically for each sport and areas with dirt (for the bases and pitchers mound) covered with metal plates on the stadium floor (they were covered by the artificial turf during football games)] and there are also Meeting Rooms that could be rented for many different purposes. Dixon imagined the possibilities of staging simultaneous high school football games side-by-side and suggested that the synthetic surface be white.[47] Blount International of Montgomery, Alabama was chosen to build the stadium.[48]
As the dome was being constructed, various individuals developed eccentric models of the structure: one was of sugar, another consisted of pennies. The so-called "penny model" traveled to the Philadelphia Bicentennial '76 exhibition. New Orleanian Norman J. Kleintz built the model with 2,697 pennies and donated it to the Superdome Board of Commissioners in April, 1974.[49]
It was hoped the stadium would be ready in time for the 1972 NFL season, and the final cost of the facility would come in at $46 million. Instead, due to political delays, construction did not start until August 11, 1971, and was not finished until August 1975, seven months after Super Bowl IX was scheduled to be played in the stadium. Since the stadium was not finished in time for the Super Bowl, the game had to be moved to Tulane Stadium, and was played in cold and rainy conditions. Factoring in inflation, construction delays, and the increase in transportation costs caused by the 1973 oil crisis, the final price tag of the stadium skyrocketed to $165 million. Along with the state police, Elward Thomas Brady, Jr., a state representative from Terrebonne Parish and a New Orleans native, conducted an investigation into possible financial irregularities, but the Superdome went forward despite the obstacles.[50]
Early History (1975-1999)[edit]
First Saints game
The New Orleans Saints opened the 1975 NFL season at the Superdome, losing 21–0 to the Cincinnati Bengals in the first regular-season game in the facility. Tulane Stadium, the original home of the Saints, was condemned for destruction on the day the Superdome opened.
First Super Bowl
The first Super Bowl played in the stadium was Super Bowl XII in January 1978, the first in prime time.
Original turf
The original artificial turf playing surface in the Superdome was produced by Monsanto specifically for the Superdome and was named "Mardi Grass."[1]
New turf installation
The Superdome converted its artificial grass surface to FieldTurf midway through the 2003 football season on November 16.
Effect of Hurricane Katrina
The Superdome was used as a "shelter of last resort" for those in New Orleans unable to evacuate from Hurricane Katrina when it struck in late August 2005. During the storm, a large section of the outer covering was peeled off by high winds. The photos of the damage, in which the concrete underneath was exposed, quickly became an iconic image of Hurricane Katrina. A few days later the dome was closed until September 25, 2006.
Reopening after Katrina
The Superdome cost $185 million to repair and refurbish. To repair the Superdome, FEMA put up $115 million,[51] the state spent $13 million, the Louisiana Stadium & Expedition District refinanced a bond package to secure $41 million and the NFL contributed $15 million.
After being damaged from the flooding disaster, a new Sportexe MomentumTurf surface was installed for the 2006 season.
On Super Bowl XL Sunday (February 5, 2006), the NFL announced that the Saints would play their home opener on September 24, 2006 in the Superdome against the Atlanta Falcons. The game was later moved to Monday night, September 25.
The reopening of the dome was celebrated with festivities including a free outdoor concert by the Goo Goo Dolls before fans were allowed in, a pre-game performance by the rock bands U2 and Green Day performing a cover of The Skids' "The Saints Are Coming", and a coin toss conducted by former President George H. W. Bush. In front of ESPN's largest-ever audience at that time, the Saints won the game 23–3 with 70,003 in attendance and went on to a successful season reaching their first ever NFC Championship Game.
The first bowl game played in the Superdome after Katrina was the New Orleans Bowl won by the Troy Trojans 41–17 over the Rice Owls.
In early 2006, the Superdome began a $320 million renovation that consisted of three remodeling phases. First, the stadium was repaired and refurbished from damage suffered during Hurricane Katrina. In 2008, new windows were installed to bring natural light into the building. Later that year, the roof-facing of the Superdome was also remodeled, restoring the roof with a solid white hue. Between 2009 and 2010, the entire outer layer of the stadium, more than 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) of aluminum siding, was replaced with new aluminum panels and insulation, returning the building to its original champagne bronze colored exterior. An innovative barrier system for drainage was also added, allowing the dome to resemble its original facade.
In addition, escalators were added to the outside of the club rooms. Each suite includes modernized rooms with raised ceilings, leather sofas, and flat-screen TVs, as well as glass brushed aluminum and wood-grain furnishings. A new $600,000 point-of-sale system was also installed, allowing fans to purchase concessions with credit cards throughout the stadium for the first time.
New turf installation
During the summer of 2010 the Superdome installed 111,831 square feet (10,389.4 m2) of the Speed S5-M synthetic turf system by UBU Sports. The Superdome now has the largest continuous synthetic turf system in the NFL.
Beginning in 2011, demolition and new construction began to the lower bowl of the stadium, reconfiguring it to increase seating by 3,500, widening the plaza concourse, building two bunker club lounges and adding additional concession stands. Crews tore down the temporary stairs that lead from Champions Square to the Dome, and replaced them with permanent steps. Installation of express elevators that take coaches and media from the ground level of the stadium to the press box were also completed. New 7,500-square-foot (700 m2) bunker lounges on each side of the stadium were built. The lounges are equipped with flat-screen TVs, granite counter tops and full-service bars. These state of the art lounges can serve 4,500 fans, whose old plaza seats were upgraded to premium tickets, giving those fans leather chairs with cup-holders. The plaza level was extended, closing in space between the concourse and plaza seating, adding new restrooms and concession areas. The renovations also ended the stadium's ability to convert to a baseball configuration.[52] The renovations were completed in late June 2011 in time for the Essence Music Festival. With all three phases of the renovation complete, the Superdome is one of the most up-to-date facilities in the U.S.
Naming rights
The Superdome had not taken on corporate naming rights until Mercedes-Benz acquired the rights in 2011. Though the stadium is owned by the state of Louisiana, the New Orleans Saints' lease gives the team the authority to sell the rights.[53] Saints owner Tom Benson also owns Mercedes-Benz dealerships in New Orleans and San Antonio.[7]
Super Bowl XLVII power failure
The Superdome hosted the Super Bowl XLVII football game on February 3, 2013. A partial power failure halted game play for about 34 minutes in the third quarter between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. It caused CBS, who was broadcasting the game, to lose some of its cameras as well as voiceovers by the commentators. At no point did the game go off the air, though the game had no audio for about two minutes. While the lights were coming back on, CBS reporters deployed around the stadium reported on the outage as a breaking news situation until power was restored enough for play to continue.
On February 8, 2013 it was reported that a relay device intended to prevent an electrical overload had caused the failure.[54] The device was located in an electrical vault owned and operated by Entergy, the electrical utility for the New Orleans area. That vault is approximately one quarter mile away from the Superdome. A subsequent report from an independent auditor confirmed the relay device as the cause.[55] The Superdome's own power system was never compromised and continues to function normally.
