Manhattan Apartment Rents Increase the Most Since 2007
July 12 (Bloomberg) -- Manhattan apartment rents rose the most in five years as would-be homeowners struggling to get mortgages lingered in the leasing market, competing for space with transplants and new college graduates.
The median monthly rent climbed 7.9 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier to $3,125, according to a report today by appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and broker Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate. It was the biggest jump since the second quarter of 2007, when rents rose 11 percent. The median is 4.3 percent below the peak of $3,265 in 2006, and poised to surpass it, said Jonathan Miller, president of Miller Samuel.
Stricter mortgage-lending standards and weak consumer confidence are limiting home purchases, increasing competition for rentals in the busiest period for leasing. Sales of Manhattan co-ops and condominiums totaled 2,647 in the second quarter, little changed from a year earlier, Miller Samuel and Prudential said last week.
"The consumer is being squeezed because many don't have the option of getting out of the rental market," Miller said. "People who can't qualify for a mortgage have no choice so they're stuck. That tips the balance and creates this rising demand."
Newly signed rental deals fell 11 percent in the quarter to 7,657 as more people stayed in their apartments. The Miller Samuel and Prudential study doesn't account for leases that were renewed.
Lease Renewals
Tenants renewing two-year leases should expect price increases of about 13 percent from June 2010, according to brokerage MNS, which also released a rental-market report today.
"There's nothing in play at the moment that suggests that we're going to see rents decline over the next year," Miller said.
The smallest apartments had the largest rent increases in the quarter as tenant demand for cheaper options surged. The median monthly price of a studio jumped 15 percent from a year earlier to $2,395, while one-bedroom units climbed 8.5 percent to $3,250. Two-bedroom rents rose 5 percent to $4,298, while three-bedroom prices were unchanged at $5,295.
Christopher DosSantos had to increase his budget and change his neighborhood of choice to land an apartment. DosSantos, a law student at Fordham University, and his friend Dean Saccomanno, who's studying dentistry at New York University, sought a two-bedroom rental in Greenwich Village for no more than $2,400 a month. They increased the limit to $3,000 after seeing the "shoeboxes" available at the lower price, said DosSantos, 23.
'Personal Space'
"We're good friends, but it's still important to have enough personal space when you come back to the apartment," he said.
After another apartment-seeker beat them to a fourth-floor walk-up in the East Village, the friends took their search farther uptown, to East 26th Street near Gramercy Park. They expect to sign a lease today to rent a third-floor unit in a building with no elevator for $2,800 a month.
"That's the blood, sweat and tears of the game," said Corlie Ohl, a broker with Citi Habitats who helped DosSantos and Saccomanno in their search. "If you like an apartment at all, you have to move quickly, because if you don't, you're not going to get it."
Fewer Concessions
The jump in demand meant landlords were able to push price increases while limiting tenant concessions. Six percent of new lease agreements in June included deal sweeteners such as a month's free rent or payment of a broker fee, according to Citi Habitats, which also released a report on the Manhattan rental market today. A year earlier, 11 percent of new deals entailed such incentives.
Citi Habitats said rents averaged $3,437 for the quarter, a 5.2 percent increase from a year earlier, topping the previous record of $3,394 set in May 2007. The vacancy rate was 0.97 percent, compared with 0.72 percent in the second quarter of 2011.
"The most important thing is to come prepared if you want to rent in this market," said Gary Malin, president of the New York-based brokerage. "Without all the necessary paperwork and all the necessary funds to secure an apartment on the spot, you're putting yourself at a severe disadvantage."
Farther East
When Graham Marvin spotted a $1,895-a-month, two-bedroom walk-up on the Upper East Side, he applied immediately, armed with paperwork showing that his parents would act as guarantors. Marvin, 22, a recent graduate of NYU's film school who works for a company creating a show for the History Channel, still didn't get the place.
The rejection led him farther east -- away from the subway, restaurants and bars -- to an "awkwardly shaped" unit on 82nd Street near York Avenue that he and a friend agreed to rent for $1,900. The second-floor apartment in a building without an elevator requires a walk through one of the bedrooms to get to the kitchen.
"It's nice," Marvin said. "It's not quite as nice" as the first apartment.
Across Manhattan, rents at buildings with doormen started at an average of $2,585 a month for studios and were as high as $7,095 for three-bedroom units, Citi Habitats said. Studios in buildings without elevators rented at an average of $1,973, while one-bedrooms in those properties leased for an average of $2,575.
The downtown neighborhoods of Soho and Tribeca commanded the highest rents for almost every size apartment, with one-bedrooms leasing for an average of $3,877, two-bedrooms for $6,290 and three-bedrooms for $9,012, Citi Habitats said. Studios in those downtown neighborhoods rented for an average of $2,500 a month, a price topped only by Chelsea, where studios rented for $2,553 in the quarter.
On the Upper West Side, average rents ranged from $1,980 for a studio to $6,339 for a three-bedroom apartment.

text: Installing BLFS SVN 20060321 (LFS SVN 20060322), Xorg 6.9.0 This problem has been driving me crazy for a few days already. At 1st I thought it was a problem with KDE or QT, since KDE displays fonts as squares (Found a couple of references as to how X sometimes looks for fonts in the wrong path but that's not the case here) But as of now I'm not sure that QT/KDE is the problem. I installed Fluxbox just for fun and the damn thing is crashing every time. It's not even running long enough for me to see if it's finding the fonts or not. Xorg.0.log for both Fluxbox and KDE end with the following lines: Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing. Goes without mentioning that CID is there. As to what the FreeFontPath error means no idea. Lots of entries on google, nothing specific. I should mention that I do have the latest BLFS Stable running just fine. Trying to install BLFS SVN as an exercise to learn how to troubleshoot problems with Linux. So far I've been able to fix/workaround 3 "show stoppers", but this one is driving me crazy. I imagine this is not a common problem since I haven't been able to find similar while surfing thru the mailing list (Or maybe I'm just looking for the wrong thing) Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Ok putting together my first rig. It will be a HERMS system that I plan on fully automating. Four vessels keggle hlt, 5 gallon heat exchanger, keggle mash tun and keggle bk. All hard plumed all run off 1 pump. Hlt and bk gas fired and heat exchanger electric 220. Obviously lots of electronic valves involved, anyone have suggestions on where to source the valves?
They have motorized ball valves at http://www.oscsys.com/ (the commercial site run by the contributors to the brewtroller project). They are stainless and look pretty nice. $50 a pop. They seem to be out of stock but that might just be because the owners are currently at NHC. I think you can also order these from China in quantity but I think the shipping times are longer.
Ya might wanna contact member "Squeeky" he has a connection to some very nice ball valves that are electrically controlled. he will also have a lot of the answers to how to plumb them in and write the proper control code for a chip. Definately worth talking to him before you decide. Hope this helps get you going in the direction your interested in. Wheelchair Bob
What do you mean "no Kidneys"???, WTF now I gotta drink less beer... Join the Automation sub forum in Electric brewing for a discussion of components and control systems. I did!!!!
Hi Based on a post elsewhere, Squeaky is more or less waiting for 30 pieces to be needed before he places his next order. Bob
Wow I feel so loved Thanks for the recommendation guys, carlisle bob is correct about needing 30 claimed before I'd order again. It's not worth it economically to have them come from China unless I order 50; as it's well over $200 in shipping. At that I make roughly $6 a valve for my time and effort, not trying to hide anything. Plus the fund of wiring 2k+ to China, and hoping everything come correctly without extra fees etc. There have been several members asking, but no one really ready to buy yet. (Emjay, pull the trigger on the 20 you want and I'll get the order placed this week) Rbeckett it correct, I'm here to help. HBT has done so much for my brewing, I just want to repay the favor. If you have any questions just PM. Squeeky
Hi Ok, I'll ask .... how much are the valves? Bob
The extras I had went for $42 a piece or $40 if ordering more then 5. They would be the same cost if I ordered another 50, assuming factory prices didn't go up, however I don't know why the would. OSCSYS sells for $50, but I know he offers a discount if ordering 5+ and 10+, I think the cheapest they go through him is $44 when ordering 10+. Although JC is out right now, he will likely have them in 2 weeks after getting back from NHC. I'm not a vendor so I can't really buy for resale within the classifieds, and the profit isn't enough to pay for vendor status. So shhhh just PM if you need valves in the future
Thanks everyone! Hope to start on my rig soon.
Just buy them from OSCSYS. They stand by their products.

Well recently learned after seeing a man drinking and smoking with his kids and other kids that its ok for minors to do such as long as they are with a relative. I think this is ridiculous. This man was teaching his 13 year old daughter how to shot gun a beer. How is this allowed? Where is the law when you need them? Are they only available when there is an accident?

An original musical webseries that follows one writer working through all his terrible ideas to write an amazing musical.
About this project
World's Worst Musical is an original musical webseries that follows one writer struggling through his terrible ideas to write an amazing musical. As his ideas come to life he reaches the same conclusion again and again... this is the worst!
Now that we've reached full funding, many of you have been asking whether or not you can still contribute. And the answer is an overwhelming yes! The extra funding will be put to good use getting some special location permits, making the props and costumes even better, and hydrating our actors.
And we're adding some additional rewards!
-All backers will get access to film updates of the process during production
-We'll produce a "Making of World's Worst Musical" video to be released after the series airs
-We'll record a full version bonus track of "Dogs In Space" for the album!
Thanks for all your support! And as always, the worst is yet to come!
The Idea
Let's start at the very beginning...
A few years ago, the three of us were brainstorming ideas after a long tech rehearsal. What should we do for our next project? Should we write a musical about something ridiculous? A sketch show of original works? A weekly cabaret???
We combined all of those ideas into one epic project: a weekly cabaret of short, original and zany musicals based on terrible premises. It was an exciting idea; however, living in 3 different cities we quickly realized we lacked the logistics, means or time to do it.
Fast forward three years. Now older, wiser and conveniently living in the same zip code, we've developed the initial idea into World's Worst Musical - a 10 episode musical webseries! As a writer watches his bad ideas come to life through song and dance, he discovers how great things can spring from even the worst ideas.

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
1st day I drove it home I felt alignment problem. After 6 visits, no fix. 4th set of front tires. Toyota reps were RUDE and told me to turn up radio & ignore pulling!! Cust. svc. was NO help. Went to arbitration, waste of time. Rain pours in if window opened a crack. ABS kicks in ALL the time. Seatbelt locks up when I stretch to look for cars coming.Can't see cars coming when I turn my head. Chips EASY. I am more than disappointed. I thought Toyota had an excellent rep., and I've been ONLY disgusted with dealership, customer service, and still having alignment problem!

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
This was my first Toyota after a number of substandard American manufactured cars. I've been converted. This car has performed spectacularly for over 2 years of driving. It has retained its value better than any other car I've owned. And its gotten better mileage than even the advertised sticker mileage, even using regular gasoline. I will always look to buy Toyota first from now on.

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Bought this vehicle used. Was forced into market after my Mazda Protege which I loved was totalled. Had a Camry for a rental and it seemed pretty nice for a few days. Now that I've lived with one I hate it. Seating position is bad. After about a half hour, arms get tired because armrests too far away from steering wheel and steering too light to rest arm. Paint chips easily. Bad stink from exhaust. Engine sounds like it was made by John Deere. Radio reception terrible and stereo sound poor. Seats too soft after about an hour causing back and shoulder aches. Dealer won't do any more than they have to regarding repairs. Certified warranty coverage seems to have many loopholes. Could go on...

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
This is my 6th Camry and the best! Bought it with 9400 miles on clock. Smooth, quiet ride. Excellent gas mileage. What's not to like! Guess I'm surprised to find several negative comment re tire wear. It seems original tires wear fast! After 25K miles, I'll have to replace tires soon. I've gotten 75K miles on a set in earlier Camrys.

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Overall, I'm happy with the performance of this vehicle. One thing that I'm not too happy about is the vibration/shaking of the engine when I'm stepping on my breaks and slowing down or going in reverse immediately after I turned the engine on. My car is still under warranty and It's been to the dealer several times for this problem. Every time they keep telling me that everything seems to be running OK when it is not. They just don't get it! They don't seem to want to spend the time troubleshooting the problem because it costs them money and they feel that it's a waist of time. So, I keep going back hoping that they resolve the problem. Hopefully, I gave you a descent summary of my problem.

I've had my car for about 2 years. I don't like it whatsoever. The clock is positioned so poorly, that only the driver and passenger can see it (and that's if they are sitting upright). The car has poor pick up for a V6 with 190hp. The stereo and air conditioning are positioned too high for easy & comfortable access. The speakers and stereo overall are not as good. I would think that the company with, in my opinion the best luxury brand (Lexus), would provide a really classy car and luxurious. But I'm wrong. Too bad, cause I really like Toyota.

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
I loved my '89 Camry which we had for 13 years til we traded it for an '03. What a disappointment. Never did figure out how to park it straight. I always had to overshoot to get into a parking space. Styling was as exciting as a refrigerator. I traded it in. Don't leave a Camry outside overnight... mine got mildew in the little seams around the car, and if it was wet and I opened the driver's window, water dripped inside right onto the power window buttons. Toyota told me that was OK, I wonder over time if water in the buttons would hurt it? Front and back edges not visible from drivers' seat, very hard to judge parking. Wouldn't buy again.

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE V6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
Have had the car little over two and a half years. Honestly the first and only one I will ever have. About every 20K have to lube steering column, have done 2 four wheel alignments, now on third set of tires. Scrubbed curb and did $1000 damage to suspension alone. Ride is fair at best. Yea, I guess I could weld the hood shut my expenses have all be under the car. Will not ever consider one again.

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
I love my Camry. Traded up from a 97 Civic, VERY glad I did. Camry is very plain, but what it lacks in eye appeal it makes up for in the checkbook. Great power for a 4cyl while still getting good (30 mpg) mileage. Wish abs brakes were standard. A perfect family car.

2003 Toyota Camry Sedan LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Overall, the car is great. For just
over $16,000 brand new, there is
nothing better on the market. I've
owned an Acura TL, RL, and a Range
Rover before, and only the RL compares
in ride. The tires do go fast, but
nothing else has given me a problem.
I've already put 42,000 miles on it
and it runs like new. Although it is
somewhat weak, you can't really expect
more from a 4 cyl. Overall, great car.

BROOKVILLE — Despite a valiant effort in the seventh inning, the Brookville Grays fell to the Sykesville Senators, 8-7, Thursday night, giving them the 3-2 series lead in the Federation League finals. One errant inning cost Brookville Game 5 in an otherwise solid defense effort.
"We let that one get away from us; we dropped balls in the outfield early in the game, then later in the game," said Bob McCullough, Grays manager.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The coal industry has had its ups and downs over the years, but here in the Punxsutawney area, at one time coal was king.
The history of coal industry in Punxsutawney and western Pennsylvania was the subject of a video presentation followed by a discussion at the Lattimer House hosted Wednesday by the Punxsutawney Area Historical and Genealogical Society.
Shirley Sharpe, Historical Society member, said coal mines originally were like the gold mines out west, where the owner would receive a deed, and the ground and the mineral rites would belong to him.
Barbara E. Cessna, 84, Punxsutawney, passed away Thursday, Aug. 2, 2012, at Jefferson Manor, Brookville.
She was born May 13, 1928, in Punxsutawney, a daughter of the late Frank C. and Melvena (Smith) Heckman.
She was preceded in death by her husband, David J. Cessna, in 2010.
Barbara was the Sunday School teacher and played piano at First Assembly of God Church for many years.
She served her life faithfully for the Lord.
Billy L. Leasure, 73, of Edinburg, passed away the afternoon of July 31, 2012, in Jameson Hospital North.
He was born Sept. 23, 1938, in Marion Center, a son of the late Earl and Arveda (Walker) Leasure.
He was married to the late Edna I. Wyant for 37 years. She preceded him in death on Aug. 25, 2002.
Billy was of the Protestant faith.
He retired after 35 years as a highlift operator for the former Indalex Corporation in Girard, Ohio.
Billy was a veteran of the U.S. Army.
He served from Dec. 13, 1961 until Dec. 13, 1963, when he received his honorable discharge.
Leland Harrold Williams, 86, of Hayes, Va., went to be with his Lord on July 29, 2012.
He was born Jan 5, 1926, in Punxsutawney, a son of H. Merrill and A. Winifred Deemer Williams.
Since April 15, 1954, he was married to Joan Lois Henkel of Pittsburgh.
In January of 1944, Leland enlisted in the Army Air Corps and served in the 305th Bombardment Group, 422nd Squadron, as a B17 bomber tail-gunner.
MEADVILLE —After a 7-0 defeat at the hands of Exton put Punxsy in the losers' bracket earlier this week, the Punxsy 10- and 11-year-old softball All-Stars knew they'd have their hands full in the championship game. Unfortunately for Punxsy, Exton's strong pitching held it to zero runs in a 5-0 shutout, ending Punxsy's run at a state title.
"This game was dominated by great pitching and strong defense by both teams," Punxsy head coach Steve White said after the game.
REYNOLDSVILLE — The Brookville Grays and Sykesville Senators finals match up has played out how many thought it would: A stellar defense (Brookville) versus a powerful offense (Sykesville).
"They're (Sykesville) a hard-hitting baseball club; unless you can keep them off their stride its going to be tough to keep them off the bases," said Brookville manager Bob McCullough.
Wednesday night, it would be Brookville's defense that prevailed, giving it a 5-3 win and tying the series at two apiece.
"The ability to repair is almost as important as the will to win," said McCullough.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — It must be August when you see back-to-school commercials on television and the 73rd Saints Cosmas & Damian (SS.C.D.) Lawn Festival is ready to begin. The festival begins Friday and runs through Sunday with the proceeds going to the SS.C.D. Catholic School.
"This is my 19th year as the festival chairman; I succeeded Tom and Joanne Uberti after having been their assistant for several years," said Frank Hetrick, festival chairperson.
Hetrick said both of his children, Ryan and Shawn, attended school at SS.C.D. Elementary School and now live in Los Angeles, Calif.
BROCKWAY — Have you ever wondered if you are descended from someone famous? Do you ever wonder if your great-great grandparents did something significant — fought in a war, served in the political system, immigrated to America with nothing but the clothes on their backs or started their own business?
If you want to find out, you may have to travel only as far as your local library. The Mengle Memorial Library in Brockway presented a genealogies program last Tuesday.

Stolen car crashes gates at High School - two arrested - driver at large
Posted: June 2nd, 2007 5:15 PM On Saturday June 2, 2007 at 11:50 a.m., the Lake Oswego Police Department received a call of a reckless driver on Highway 43 near McVey. The car was traveling south toward West Linn. Dispatchers checked the license given by the complainant and it showed the Subaru WRX was stolen. At 11:52 a.m., WLPD Officer Dave Heimbuck saw the vehicle as it approached McKillican Street on Willamette Drive in West Linn. He turned to follow the car, and it darted up McKillican Street. At the intersection of West A Street and McKillican Street, the car continued straight and crashed through the iron gates on the driveway of the West Linn High School. The vehicle traveled around the building and crashed through a second iron gate onto Skyline Drive. Officer Heimbuck was following the car. The suspects then made their way to the Old Oregon City-West Linn Bridge and into Oregon City. The vehicle, an all wheel drive sports sedan, eluded the officers. Officers from Oregon City and Canby Police Departments assisted in the search for the car/suspects. The vehicle was found at 816 3rd Street in Oregon City. The suspect vehicle glanced off a car at this address when it came to a stop. Jose G. VALLEJO, born in 1997, of Hillsboro was arrested nearby, as was Andrea M. SMITH, born in 1984 of St. Helens. Both were lodged at the Clackamas County Jail for Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle (UUV) in lieu of $15,000 bail. The vehicle was stolen from St. Helens on May 30, 2007. The driver is still at large. Contact Info: Sgt. Neil Hennelly 503-655-6214 ext 4498 VALLEJO, Jose

Best Bet: Mummy Roll
"Mummy Roll" sounds like Halloween, but this sushi roll concoction at Red Koi Japanese Cuisine looks more like Christmas; an orange decorated Christmas tree, to be exact.
The roll is made of shrimp tempura, spicy crawfish and avocado, which are wrapped with strips or "strings" of potato. The whole thing is deep fried, cut into about 10 pieces and topped with eel sauce, spicy mayonnaise sauce, special Red Koi sauce, scallions and two or three inches of the leftover fried potato strings, which are referred to as the "crunchy" at the restaurant.
"Some people give the crunchy to their kids," said Lienda Shade, a partner along with her brother, Liedy Handoko, and sushi chef Oki Wibisono, all of whom are from Indonesia.
I watched Wibisono make a Mummy Roll, wrapping thin shavings of raw potatoes around the roll, like strips of white cloth.
Wibisono came up with the Mummy Roll when they were devising a menu for the restaurant, which opened last August. "In America, a lot of people like to eat potatoes," he said.
Sweet potato tempura is found in Japanese restaurants, but Wibisono wanted something different, so he went with the Idaho potato.
"I made it with my heart," Wibisono said. "It's hard to create something new that's always good."
Red Koi's sushi roll lists also include the Go Tiger Roll, Vols Roll, Big Apple Roll, Memphis Roll and Cordova Roll.
They also have a Monster Roll. I suggested they create a Frankenstein Roll.
"That's a great idea," Liedy said.
Red Koi Japanese Cuisine is at 5847 Poplar No. 101; 901-767-3456.

The detained chairman of the opposition Sudanese Congress Party (SCP), Ibrahim El Sheikh, who was transferred on Sunday from En Nahud prison to a hospital in Burri in Khartoum, needs to undergo a surgical operation.
The SCP insists that the operation will be conducted by a well-known medical team.
Mastour Adam, SCP's political secretary, told Radio Dabanga that security officers notified El Sheikh's relatives that the operation would be conducted in the Police Hospital in Khartoum, and that his family is not allowed to accompany him.
"Both the Party and El Sheikh rejected the Police Hospital. We want the operation to be done by doctors we trust. The security service, however, refused, and insisted on conducting the operation on Monday in the Police Hospital."
Mastour added that the SCP holds the government responsible for the deteriorating condition of its leader.
Ibrahim El Sheikh was detained on 8 June by security forces in his hometown En Nahud, West Kordofan, on charges of undermining the Sudanese Constitution, after he had publicly denounced the widespread attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces on civilians in Darfur and Kordofan. The SCP announced later that their leader had expressed the official party opinion.
After his health condition significantly worsened last week, the SCP leader was transferred from En Nahud prison to the Burri hospital in Khartoum on Sunday.

Graphics CardsWhen It Works, Intel Core i5 2500K Graphics On Linux Are Fast!After a month of headaches for Intel and myself, there are now Sandy Bridge graphics benchmark results from the Intel Core i5 2500K under Linux to finally publish. Sandy Bridge was a tough launch for Intel in terms of the Linux coverage with the media having problems building a working driver stack and then when I finally got my hands on a CPU, I ran into an entirely different set of show-stopping problems. The developers still have not solved the biggest original issue yet, but Intel sent out a new motherboard and another CPU and it happens to "just work" nicely under Linux. When using the latest bits of their open-source Intel Linux graphics code, the performance on the Core i5 2500K is actually quite impressive compared to other open-source Linux drivers.
10 February 2011 - 37 Comments Intel's Linux Sandy Bridge Graphics Still TroublingWhen Intel launched their newest "Sandy Bridge" processors earlier this month there were no Linux benchmark results available. We were not seeded with any CPU in advance and the other publications that have flings with Linux were unable to get the Linux graphics support working. There is no "out of the box" Sandy Bridge support under Linux with Ubuntu 10.10 and other distributions released in the past few months. It was not until the time that Sandy Bridge launched that there was the releases of Linux 2.6.37, Mesa 7.10, and the xf86-video-intel 2.14 DDX that are the versions reported to play well with the new Intel graphics. Because of the lack of "out of the box" Linux support, there was a very scathing review at SemiAccurate.com that went as far as calling Sandy Bridge the biggest disappointment of the year. The code was said to be ready, but there is a challenge in installing open-source GPU drivers by many Linux users.
18 January 2011 - 36 Comments NVIDIA GT 425M: Windows 7 Ultimate vs. Ubuntu 10.10Back in August we looked at the gaming performance between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 using a Lenovo ThinkPad W510, and the results were not too dramatic, but since then there has been a new release of Ubuntu (the 10.10 Maverick Meerkat) and new graphics hardware has been released. After receiving an ASRock Vision 3D system recently, which will soon be reviewed at Phoronix, we decided to compare its performance of the brand new GeForce GT 425M graphics processor under Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64.
26 October 2010 - 37 Comments ATI Radeon HD 5450 On LinuxWhile AMD soon will be introducing the Radeon HD 6000 graphics cards, there is still plenty of life left to the Radeon HD 5000 series especially for those interested in open-source support with the Evergreen GPUs finally being supported by the open-source driver stack complete with OpenGL acceleration via a Mesa driver and this support will continue to mature before there is the same level of support for the next-generation Southern Island GPUs in the open-source world. In this article we are reviewing the ATI Radeon HD 5450 "Cedar" graphics card, which is AMD's lowest-end Evergreen GPU but will set you back less than $50 USD.
4 October 2010 - 91 Comments ATI FirePro V9800 4GBEarlier this year AMD rolled out the ATI FirePro V8800 workstation graphics card as their new high-end offering derived from their Evergreen architecture and to serve as the next-generation solution to the FirePro V8700 / V8750. The FirePro V8800 2GB though is no longer AMD's top workstation graphics card as this morning they are rolling out the ATI FirePro V9800 4GB.
9 September 2010 - 8 Comments Looking At The OpenCL Performance Of ATI & NVIDIA On LinuxRecently we provided the first Linux-based review of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 graphics card. Overall, this Fermi-based graphics card was a great performer for selling around $200 USD and is complemented by great video playback capabilities with VDPAU acceleration and great proprietary driver support. In that review we primarily looked at the OpenGL performance under Linux, but with NVIDIA's Fermi architecture bringing great GPGPU advancements for CUDA and OpenCL users too, in this article we are looking more closely at the Open Computing Language performance of this GF104 graphics card as well as other NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards.
6 September 2010 - 35 Comments NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 On LinuxNVIDIA formally introduced the GeForce 400 "Fermi" graphics card series in late March when rolling out the GeForce GTX 470 and 480. This launch was followed by the GeForce GTX 465 availability in late May and then in the middle of July there was the launch of the GeForce GTX 460 768MB and GeForce GTX 460 1024MB graphics cards. For the past few weeks we have had our hands on the Palit GeForce GTX 460 768MB graphics card that was sent over by NVIDIA to conduct our first tests of the Fermi / GF100 hardware under Linux. While the GeForce GTX 460 isn't clocked as high as the GeForce GTX 480 and has a slimmed down core, its performance is rather nice for being a $200 USD graphics card and is able to pack a performance punch when using NVIDIA's proprietary Linux driver.
23 August 2010 - 145 Comments AMD Radeon HD 4250 880G On LinuxBack in May we looked at the AMD Radeon HD 4290 integrated graphics Linux performance of the 890GX motherboard chipset found on the MSI 890GXM-G65 and many other motherboards. This ATI Radeon 4290 (890GX) wasn't the most compelling integrated graphics processor we found with its OpenGL performance using the proprietary Catalyst driver being significantly lower than even the cheapest PCI Express graphics cards. X-Video Bitstream Acceleration, the method whereby AMD exposes their UVD2 engine capabilities on Linux, was also rather useless (and to this day still is the case) that makes this an ineffective Linux Home Theater PC too. Since the launch of the 890GX chipset, AMD rolled out the 880G chipset as a less-expensive solution for motherboard vendors and offers a stripped-down graphics processor of what is found in the 890GX and is branded as the ATI Radeon HD 4250. Today we have a few benchmarks of the Radeon HD 4250 (880G) under Linux for your viewing pleasure.
6 August 2010 - 27 Comments AMD FirePro V4800 & FirePro V7800Last month we reviewed the ATI FirePro V8800, which is the newest ultra high-end workstation graphics card from AMD that is based upon the Evergreen graphics processor found in the consumer-grade Radeon HD 5000 series. We were blown away by the performance of the FirePro V8800 and then we subsequently reviewed the FirePro V3800 and FirePro V5800 when they launched later in the month. The FirePro V3800 was designed for entry-level workstation customers while the V5800 was to fill the mid-range void. For those looking into an entry-to-mid-range or high-end workstation graphics card, today we are completing our look at AMD's Evergreen-based FirePro family with a review of the ATI FirePro V4800 and ATI FirePro V7800.
17 May 2010 - 1 Comment AMD Radeon HD 4290 On LinuxLast week we delivered benchmarks of the AMD Athlon II X3 425 processor running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS while this week we are continuing in benchmarks from this triple-core budget processor as we try out its gaming performance when paired with an AMD 890GX motherboard boasting integrated Radeon HD 4290 graphics.

I must have fully deleted something useless but of course we all know everything stock has to be intact to get the OTA. How can I fix it? Factory reset?
No... I think you have to flash back to a stock image.. DROID RAZR MAXXIMIZED!!!! PREPARE TO BE VANQUISHED!!!
I am assuming you are on .181. If so I recommend you download and install the Razr Utility (discussed in above thread), install on your computer and use the utility to return to stock .181...just follow the on screen instructions. You should also use the utility to unroot first. You shouldn't have a problem receiving the OTA update to ICS after that. Make sure you extract the utility .zip to its own folder on your C: drive and run the .bat file.
Yes you will get the notification and it will download to your phone but the install will fail most likely. You have two options: Put your phone back to stock (no frozen apps, no delete or otherwise moved apps) and unroot. Once updated you can root again if you chose. Option 2: Download and install Voodoo Root Keeper from Google Play save root and then temporarily unroot to get the update. After the update you can then go back to root using Voodoo Root Keeper. I personally have never had success using Voodoo Root Keeper, I always lost root, but this is probably because I didn't do something right, lol.
Thanks I am using rootkeeper. I just have some frozen apps and root plus safestrap. Now if I could just stop from checking for system updates.
Could someone please give the link to the freakin thread??? I need to unroot also and all these post nobody helps!!! Everyone is very vague on how to do it!:icon_evil:
Ok, lets start with what phone do you really have. Your profile says iphone 3gs. If your phone is a Razr/Razr Maxx what version OS are you running. To check that go to menu>settings>about phone and look for software version. After we have established those two bits of information we can help you.
FYI, got her fixed up in another thread that she started about the issue. Phone is in working order now.

I have a Kel-Tec 380 I want to carry front pocket. Any suggestions on a good holster to accomplish this?
I just purchased my second (in six years) holster for my P-3AT from Fist. The first one was in kydex, but this time I went with leather...
Fist Pocket Holster
There are lots of pocket holsters, but the 'thumb push' guarantees that the gun always comes out and the holster doesn't.

Check out this site. Great pocket holster for a low price. RKBA Leather & Holsters I have been using my RKBA holster for quite awhile now and it has worked out very nicely. Keeps the gun in the holster just snug enough and the holster stays in pocket when drawn.

Mika pocket holsters...I had one for my NAA Guardian sold it with the gun....DOH. Wish I had em both back.

I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
The BEST front pocket holster in the world, IMO, is the DeSantis Nemesis:
I had one for a P3AT and have one now for my LCP; they are great!
"Naked and Starving as They are We Cannot Enough Admire the Incomparable Patience and Fidelity of the Soldiery" George Washington, Valley Forge, 1777.
Great for my keltec p-32 mouse gun and, this is a real plus: it works spectacularly well for my .38 snub. I know, I know; the trigger isn't covered. I've warned people myself about that a thousand times. But it is so good! Draws right, and after a few months' use, re-holsters well, too.
Now, do not, do not, think of this as a praise for the Nemesis in general. I tolerate it with my subcompact 9mm (pf-9) and will not use the one I bought for my .38. (The gun tends to snag the sewing around the top edge and slows the draw, or the holster actually comes out with the gun. Not good.)
I would advise just buying the p380/p32 version and, after you've broken it in, try some of your other small pistols. You might be pleased.
Too much of a good thing is not enough... member of WVCDL and NRA
I use a Uncle Mike's Sidekick #1 for my P3AT, it was around $15. I tried a leather pocket holster but had a problem with it hitting the mag release.
DeSantis Nemesis for my P3AT. Draw easily. Inexpensive. Very well suited for the front pocket for all my slacks and shorts.
I recommend going with the one that outperforms the competition and is an excellent value--the Mika Pocket Holster!
Mika's Pocket Holsters - Custom Made Pocket Holsters, Waistband Holsters, Vest Holsters, Tactical Pocket Mirrors And Much More.
I've carried almost anything I can get into my pocket with one of these.
Mini & Maxi Holsters
They fill the pocket, don't print, stay squared up and stay put when you draw.
With the clip on they also double as an in the pinch IWB.
You can find the Grandfather Oak kydex Pocket Companion here: Stockdesigns The P3AT would use the original version, there is also an XL version for use with the PF-9. I picked up an XL version as replacement for a DeSantis that kept turning my pocket inside-out when drawing the PF-9. It has always properly stayed in place when the PF-9 is drawn, keeps it properly oriented and conceals the printing without adding bulk.
With shipping, the regular version is $18, the XL is $20.

most seem pretty good, imo go with the thinest you can find, all the one I could get my hands on added thickness to my pocket and I didn't like it, so I wound up making my own... used scrap leather from craft store, have about 3 bucks in mine... and some quality time with my guns!
Someone told me you'll wind up with a basket full of holsters you don't use and that is true... good job trying to keep it to a minimum...

In the past, the AIA Awards tended to recognize buildings that were good, elegant, and polite, but not necessarily innovative. But in recent years, the organization has honored snazzier projects, including many of this year's winners: BIG's 8 House, made famous by the video of kids running parkour-style up and down its helix; Morphosis's building for the Cooper Union, complete with its heavy metal and glass façade; and the interior of Patrick Tighe's foam walk-in blob.
Awards also went to some deliciously delicate structures, such as Marlon Blackwell's Visitor Pavilion for the Indianapolis Museum of Art's sculpture garden, and Koning Eizenberg's Children's Institute for Otis. Brian Mackay received an award for his Ghost Architectural Laboratory, structures that bring poetry to Nova Scotia but lack a clear function.
I couldn't find anything truly mediocre. Only when I reviewed the planning awards did memories of the old days come back to haunt me. It was not that the projects were bad—and there were some sensible proposals—but that they had the same old optimistic ideas about amelioration planned and shown from above, in colored sketches. They seem to have little to do with how environments actually develop over time, or are used.
On the other hand, the 25-year Award went to Frank Gehry's own house in Santa Monica, and the Gold Medal to Steven Holl. When I was growing up in architecture, Gehry was a rebel despised by most AIA members. Holl was a weirdo doing obtuse sketches from a loft in New York. Thom Mayne kept failing his licensing exams, reportedly because he would get in fights with the interlocutors at the oral exam.
I thought that if only these architects had a chance to make significant buildings, the world would change. They did get plenty of chances, but the revolution never happened. Instead, they built up firms that are now among the largest in the country, and collectively produced a new norm of expressive, articulated buildings that, much more than in the past, showed you how they were made, evoked and framed spaces other than their immediate surroundings, made better use of natural resources, and developed their own character. They brought poetry to the prose of the building practice, though one of measured rhymes and practiced meters.
That's the new normal. At least, that's true at the top of the profession, where good architecture appears. As always, this is a small percentage of built work. The difference is that now the AIA is recognizing, on the whole, the best work. It cannot honor projects that are truly radical or critical, and probably never will. I only wish that there were a way to recognize architecture like that of Hernan Diaz, Ball Nogues, or the exceedingly radical Leon Krier—architecture that we cannot easily digest, and that might never even exist, but deserves to be rewarded all the same.

Iowa History Journal Volume 5, Issue 6, Now Available

On 300 plus acres of land outside the town of Missouri Valley are the remnants of a forgotten piece of Cold War history. Fifty years ago, on Iowa soil, stood an incredible weapon that could reach speeds of 15,500 miles per hour and travel 9,000 miles. On impact, it generated an explosion almost 175 times the power and destruction force of the nuclear bomb dropped on Japan to end World War II. It was the Atlas-D Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, the first ICBM of the United States and the last resort for preservation of the county. Historian Michael Reece has written a spellbinding story of Iowa's "Guardian of Peace."
In addition, Brian Cooper writes about Dubuque's Jay Berwanger, who in 1935 became the first winner of the legendary Heisman Trophy: Jeff Stein describes the stunning veterans museum in Waterloo named after the Sullivan brothers: Don Doxsie describes the successful business Happy Joe's……and two writers, Jessica Lowe and Bob Denny, recall the role of Iowans in the stories of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

Few Iowans have had a bigger impact on the overall prosperity of the state than "Tama Jim" Wilson, who spent most of his adult life in Traer. Wilson served as Secretary of Agriculture for sixteen years under three presidents – William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. In this issue of Iowa History Journal, Jerry Harrington provides an in-depth look at this very influential Iowan and also has thumbnail sketches of the other five Iowans who have held that prestigious position.
In addition, Don Doxsie writes about the devastating tornado of 1860 that left the city of Camanche in total ruin; Pat Kinney gives readers a tantalizing trip back in time to WWII with his interview of the widow of one of the five Sullivan brothers; Jeff Stein informs of the period in 1953 when television exploded onto the eastern Iowa scene, and John Skipper writes about the amazing success of the Sukup family in the grain bin business.
All that and much more in the latest issue of Iowa History Journal – including Winterset's latest efforts in expanding the legacy of John Wayne.
Oklahoma Shooter – Back by Popular Demand
Tuesday, August 6th, 2013 | Books | No Comments
The book Oklahoma Shooter: The Dan Hodge Story was published in 2009 and all 2,000 copies quickly sold out. We have had so many requests for books that we have reprinted a select number. This will be the last reprint so order it now.
Dan Hodge is one of the most fascinating athletes in American history. He was a three-time undefeated NCAA champion for the University of Oklahoma in the 1950s, and was known as the greatest pinner of all time. His junior year, Hodge won the 177-pound NCAA title with all pins, then the national freestyle AND Greco-Roman national titles a month later, again all with pins. That's three national championships with 14 straight pins. Dan won a silver medal in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne. He was robbed of the gold medal and the story is revealed in the book.

In the aftermath of World War II, George Stout of Winterset, Iowa, played a crucial role in America's effort to save war treasurers from Nazi Germany. Stout's story is told in a book called Monuments Men, and now that same story is being made into a major motion picture starring George Clooney in the role of Stout. In this issue, writer Michael Swanger tells the story that has captured the imagination of movie producers and military men alike.
In the summer of 1881, a farm girl by the name of Kate Shelley displayed amazing courage as she darted out into a fierce storm to try and save a train from possible disaster on a high bridge near Boone. Carrying a partially damaged lantern, the 15-year old crawled out onto the bridge and was successful in her heroic attempts to avert tragedy. Jeff Stein, one of the state's foremost historians, tells the story of Kate Shelley and her irrepressible courage.
It's hard to imagine a person working for the same company for almost seven decades – but that is the true story of Jim Zabel, perhaps the best known radio figure in Iowa history. Zabel died on May 23, 2013, at the age of 91 and left behind a legacy that will perhaps never be matched. IHJ publisher Mike Chapman offers a memorable tribute to the man who loved Iowa until the very end.

Adrian Anson was born and raised in Marshalltown…..and learned how to play baseball there, as well. In fact, he became so good at the sport that he played 27 years in the major leagues and was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Known as Cap Anson, the native Iowan was also a controversial figure due to his stance on race relations in baseball. Don Doxsie, one of Iowa's top sportswriters of the past thirty years, offers a penetrating look at the life and career of Cap Anson.
Today, the town of Sheldon, in the northwest corner of the state, is best known for being the hometown of Olympic wrestlers Tom and Terry Brands. Back in 1961, however, Sheldon made national headlines when one of its citizens was arrested for embezzling over $2,000,000! The story of Burnice Geiger and her shocking theft – in her own father's bank – was front page all over the state and much of the country.
The gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place in 1881 in Tombstone, Arizona, and has since become a part of Old West folklore. Little known is the fact that the majority of the principals involved in that legendary event had Iowa backgrounds. Writers Kyle Martin and Mike Chapman offer an intriguing look back into the past.
New book offers wrestling trivia & history
Friday, April 19th, 2013 | Books, Wrestling | No Comments
"How much do you know about Mankind's Oldest Sport?"
That is the question posed on the cover of the new wrestling book written by the sport's most prolific writer. Mike Chapman's Super Book of Wrestling Trivia brings to the reader some of the most memorable events in the history of Mankind's Oldest Sport.
"The three main goals of the book are to educate young people about the grand heritage of the sport and to entertain older readers with a nostalgic trip into the past," said Chapman. "And to have a little fun along the way."
Wrestling has been around for at least 5,000 years. The book has separate chapters on wrestling in antiquity, in early America, in the NCAAs, and international wrestling, including the Olympics. There are also sections on professional wrestling, wrestling as a part of mixed martial arts, wrestling in the military, and wrestling in pop culture.
The 176-page book features nearly 50 photos. Included are a classic sketch of the Hebrew patriarch Jacob wrestling the angel of the Lord, as described in the Bible in Genesis; photos of Kirk Douglas wrestling in the 1955 movie "Ulysses," about the Greek hero during the time of the Trojan War, and Tom Cruise wrestling in the 1989 film "Born on the 4th of July."

To an entire generation of Americans in the 1950s and '60s, she was known simply as "Mamie". She served as the nation's First Lady from 1952 to 1959, when her husband Dwight D. Eisenhower was President of the United States of America. Eisenhower, known affectionately as Ike, was the hero of WWII and met his Mamie when they were just youngsters starting out on life's journey. Mamie was born in Boone, Iowa, and she lived with her family in Cedar Rapids for a spell. Today, her legacy lives on in Boone – particularly at her birthplace home at 709 Carroll Street. It is a story that Iowans should take great pride in knowing.
A wild elephant on the loose in Iowa? Yep, way back in 1923 an elephant escaped from a circus car and went on a rampage through southern Iowa. The story is both humorous yet sad. Read the details in the current issue of Iowa's elephant walk. In addition, Don Doxsie writes about the Fabulous Five basketball team of the 1950s and its back to back trips to the Final Four.

The storage can be as much as 30 TBytes of data, a table can contain billions of records. The software is available for Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows (32-bit). A white paper goes into some of the details of the Infobright architecture. The database system used is MySQL.
Jaspersoft adds its Business Intelligence Suite to the Community Edition solution. Jaspersoft is under LGPL and consists of the BI Suite, JasperReports, iReport, JasperServer, JasperAnalysis and JasperETL (Extract Transfer Load). The software is ready for download at the Jasperforge site.
The combined Infobright and Jaspersoft project page evidently still has problems with the Infobright CE (ICE) download data.
However, the data warehousing software is also available at the Infobright site. A short Jaspersoft data sheet includes the critical aspects of the integrated solution.
According to the partner firms, the combined solution is already in production at Bi3 Solutions, which provides business intelligence and collaborative performance management solutions using the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.

An independent designer named Frederico Ciccarese has put together some beautiful iPhone 5 concept drawings and was kind enough to send them our way.
Keep in mind that this is just one person's interpretation of all the rumors we've been hearing non-stop since the 4S came out, but it looks pretty great to us. The long-rumored "teardrop" design?
