Hey! Btrfs may be alpha crap (it's not) but it has been tested, otherwise you wouldn't know it was alpha quality crap.
Printable View
That seems a little harsh.
I've tested ZFS, and it was terrible, buggy, slow, unreliable, and very quickly just destroyed itself. Despite having the letter "Z" in the name, its basically unreliable crap. btrfs, on the other hand, seems to actually work quite well.
ZFS looks pretty unusable to me. That was ZFS-FUSE though, so its performance was as slow as NTFS (FUSE). Nobody could ever get any serious productivity using that as a primary FS. I'd give the native stuff a try, but so far there's still nothing better than JFS...
What on Earth? The Illumos folks are developing ZFS out in the open and its receiving new features all the time. Oracle are continuing their closed version, but Illumos has broken compatibility with that and is taking ZFS where they want it to go. Nothing dead about it at all.
Also, anyone with past bad experiences, give the native ZFSonLinux another try if you can - it's come on an awfully long way in the last year!
The premise of ZFS was never that it was blazing a blazing fast high-performance file system.
The premise of ZFS is scalability, manageability, stability, data security, and features.
ZFS would be great as a NAS, a media server (with big files such as movies), and file system for backup and archival.
A lot of data centers and database-driven web servers rely on high performance I/O, not to mention file servers with multiple heavy writes (e.g., in the enterprise). Of course Solaris didn't intend to forgo these market segments so Sun's solution was to match up ARC and L2ARC with ZFS to dramatically improve performance. This might not show much in a home environment or on benchmarks, but like you said, it shows up when it's scaled.
ZFS via FUSE != ZFSOnLinux ("native" Kernel Module)
And FUSE's module performance != native kernel module performance
And that if we talk about non-tuned-for-specific-workload kind of performance.
Well, the difference is not that BIG (you quoted @highlandsun that was talking about FUSE performance, which is crap) ... but with proper gear and setup you have the ability to have massive performance that other filesystems can't deliver, simply because they don't offer the features to make that happen.
If you can spend on a SSD or two, you could use them as cache and/or ZIL devices ... and/or the natural raid setup with ZFS, which simply outperforms whatever black magic you can do on top of a "primitive" filesystem like ext4
Again, ZFS is not intended for low-end desktop computers (think: ZFS for normal full operation needs at least 4GB .. with an optimal "start" of 8GB) ... so it's basically bogus to compare it against ext4 and worst: in the desktop land (where ZFS has little to offer compared to what it requires, and where it doesn't aim)
Is more reasonable to compare it against something of similar kind, like btrfs.
But on the areas of NAS, Storage providers, and other kinds of servers who could benefit of features like dedupe or transparent compression and/or you have some gear in there ... you win, in a manner that cannot be expressed
For the last use cases, at least, SnapRAID is at least as good of a solution as ZFS, plus there is nearly zero chance that you will lose your entire array since it doesn't stripe the data (it does something more like the old WHS Spaces or Unraid where they set aside disks to hold parity).
Btrfs will be tested enough when Oracle itself will approve it for their database. Fedora is RH testing playground, so they don't care if you loose all your data.

Wilson Ramos caught two bullpen sessions during this morning's workout.
VIERA, Fla. — The Nationals would like to bring Wilson Ramos along slowly this spring, giving the rehabbing catcher ample time to get his body back into full game shape following ACL surgery.
Ramos, though, continues to push for a heavier workload, and today the Nationals acquiesced. For the first time since he injured his right knee last May, he caught two bullpen sessions, while also taking a full round of batting practice and other drills alongside his catching counterparts.
"He did a lot today," general manager Mike Rizzo said.
Ramos had previously only caught one bullpen session per day, but this morning he squatted behind the plate for both Dan Haren and Ryan Perry. He also blocked pitches in the dirt, a key hurdle he said he wanted to overcome after injuring himself on such a play lastRead more »
- John C. - Feb 18, 2013 at 10:19 PM
FWIW, IIRC he didn't injure himself blocking a ball in the dirt; he injured himself picking up a rolling baseball that had gotten past him. Either way, very glad to have Ramos on the road to 100%!
- Mark Zuckerman - Feb 18, 2013 at 10:22 PM
John C.: You're correct, the actual injury occurred as he was trying to track down a ball in the dirt that got away from him. But he views that all as one act, and the blocking of a bad pitch is the toughest test for his knee.

- natsfan1a - Feb 18, 2013 at 10:31 PM
Okay, so I'm behind in my reading but the following passage from a WaPo piece was pretty darn funny. Think maybe the kid was pulling the reporter's leg? :-)Tucked in the corner opposite from Zimmerman sat Zach Walters, a shortstop in his first major league spring training. Walters, 23, will spend the season in the minors. For one Sunday, he could call the men around him — Werth, Ian Desmond, Zimmerman, Stephen Strasburg, all of them — his teammates."I don't think I'll ever get over that," Walters said. "Because I'm some young punk, I see them on TV and I'm like, 'These guys are bigger than life.' Then I see them in real life, they're right in front of me. I think the biggest thing is Werth's beard. I need it. I want it."

BUFFALO!! Go get em Wilson!!!! Have a healthy year.
- baseballswami - Feb 18, 2013 at 11:17 PM
I hope Ramos catches JZim most of the time. Jordan and Suzuki just never really seemed to click. It got better after the first few starts , and maybe spring training will put them on the same page. JZ pitches like he has a train to catch and lots of signs and shakes throw off his pace.
- NatsJack in Florida - Feb 18, 2013 at 11:21 PM
Swami….I seem to remember a pretty solid relief appearance by Jordan that Suzuki caught.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 18, 2013 at 11:36 PM
Baseballswami, I'm with you on the JZim/Ramos, but keep in mind that Davey says he doesn't believe in set battery mates.If you believe the stats in small sample sizes, JZim definitely needs to be with Ramos.I ran numbers on all the battery mates and knew that was a biggie and I think Gio/Suzuki was a better match and Strasburg/Ramos.It will be interesting to see if any patterns take place.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 18, 2013 at 11:44 PM
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20130218&content_id=41755672&vkey=news_was&c_id=wasGood Dan Haren article. Its written by Joey Nowak. Never heard of him, but this is a good article.Great quotes from Adam LaRoche on Haren.
- baseballswami - Feb 18, 2013 at 11:53 PM
NatsJack- thanks for reminding me of that relief appearance- it makes me smile. Things were better by then, obviously.
- NatsJack in Florida - Feb 18, 2013 at 11:56 PM
That was my favorite 1 inning pitching performance of the season.
- SCNatsFan - Feb 19, 2013 at 12:12 AM
To those who have seen him, is Wilson thinner? The pictures look like he has lost weight.
- NatsJack in Florida - Feb 19, 2013 at 12:16 AM
SCNats Fan…..yes…..that's all we've raved about was then lean, mean catching machine that is Wilson Ramos.
- MicheleS - Feb 19, 2013 at 12:38 AM
Ghost.. Boz has an article up on WaPo about Haren too.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 19, 2013 at 12:43 AM
MicheleS, I will search for that. NatsJack, greatest by JZim was that immaculate 9 pitch inning for 3 strikeouts. One of the rarest accomplishments in baseball.That inning of relief in Game 4 was as over-powering as I have ever seen him.Joe Magrane on MLB Network today picked JZim as his best NL pitcher for 2013 based on him perfecting his changeup.
- TimDz - Feb 19, 2013 at 12:49 AM
My recollection of Ramos' injury was more of a freak accident than anything else…it was a rainy day and he seemed to catch a cleat…Does anyone else remember this or am I on an island here?

- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 19, 2013 at 1:26 AM
Thanks Michele. That was a good read although some of those Haren quotes were already used by Mark and some other writers. This was interesting from Boswell: Since Haren's locker is between Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez, and because he is a master of getting high strikeout counts (223 one season) by "setting up hitters" and "expanding the zone" — something the young Nats haven't mastered, it's assumed that Haren may be a coach in disguise."I'm a guy they can turn to when they aren't going great. But I'm not 'mentoring' Stephen Strasburg. It looks like he's got it down pretty good."Not sure what to think since Rizzo I thought had used the term veteran mentor to the young arms, but then again Haren only said he wasn't mentoring Strasburg possibly because he is so close to all the tools.Like DeRosa and Werth who have mentored and always talking to the youngsters like a friendly coach, I had also assumed as Boz put it "it's assumed that Haren may be a coach in disguise".
- baseballswami - Feb 19, 2013 at 1:27 AM
When our pitchers "expand the zone" — we all jump on them for " nibbling".

Thanks natsjack

http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=14559141&topic_id=8878754&c_id=wasTimDZ, it was amazing given the magnitude of the Playoff game and I loved that video but that was the 7-8-9 batters including (Kozma) vs. the May 6, 2011 immaculate inning of 9 straight strikes (3 K's) and that started with Mike Stanton to Dobbs to Buck.Cool stat on immaculate innings. 3 pitchers have done it twice: Lefty Grove, Sandy Koufax, and Nolan Ryan. All 3 are in the Hall of Fame. I hope Jordan Zimmermann can throw another immaculate inning!
- sjm308 - Feb 19, 2013 at 2:43 AM
Swami: I have to give you credit for putting stuff out there. In the last post you talked about Soriano operating on his own set of rules (which is silly) and now you are suggesting that Suzuki does not work well with JZimmnn because the first few times were not spectacular. A catcher comes to a new team in a new league with new pitchers he has never caught before and the "chemistry" has to be perfect right away? Seriously, Zimmnn will be fine with whoever is behind the plate and Suzuki will be fine with whoever is on the mound. Pitchers don't need special catchers, it just isn't happening.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 19, 2013 at 2:51 AM
sjm, what you said is sort of what Davey said about battery mates, but there are pitchers that work better with certain catchers.JZim and Ramos work well together. Can Suzuki and JZim work better together? Sure. They didn't have a lot of time to get acclimated.
- baseballswami - Feb 19, 2013 at 2:51 AM
SJM– just having a Devil's Advocate kind of a day I guess. Tomorrow will be better and full of blind faith and Natitude. Everyone just seems to be making things out to be so perfect. Seems a bit too good to be true. I am truly excited about the team. Just being picky. And I am not usually generous with new- ish guys. But it sounds like Haren is good:). Oh – Sean Burnett is having back issues. Is Rizzo clairvoyant?
- sjm308 - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:00 AM
Swami: if you want to feel a little better about Soriano's day, read the piece on MASN by Kolko. Might be more fluff than we get from Mark but its very positive. Soriano asked to have Suzuki in his session and it comes across with no issues at all.Ghost: I get that certain catchers frame pitches or dig balls out of the dirt better than others but the "designated catcher" thing really bothers me. These guys are pros and it really should not matter.
- NCNatsie - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:01 AM
Sean Burnett is having back issues. Is Rizzo clairvoyant?————-Yes.
- sjm308 - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:07 AM
I am honestly not trying to get Peric fired up but I just read a really good article by Jason Stark on the # if strikeouts projected for the Braves and how they will miss Prado a bunch. Peric talks about the loss of power from Morse to Span and it is obvious that is true. What he has never mentioned is how many strikeouts Morse contributed and how few Span has averaged in his years with the Twins. Is that a big deal? We stuck out a ton last year and one of our huge strikeout guys in now in the AL. If Danny can cut back and Span does what he does, that is probably around 200 less strikeouts for this team. That has to amount to something. Waiting for those with actual knowledge to tell me I am wrong.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:08 AM
sjm, you are right, and Davey was very clear last year when Strasburg and Flores weren't on the same page and Davey said he doesn't match up pitchers with catchers.
- sjm308 - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:22 AM
Thanks Ghost, I thought I had read that as well.
- NatsLady - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:32 AM
Burnett had back issues when he was here. He "managed" them. Doesn't take clairvoyance, but that, along with elbow chips and being thirty probably decided Rizzo against offering him a two-year contract.
- baseballswami - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:38 AM
We really need some actual , live baseball games.
- SCNatsFan - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:51 AM
There was a really good article saying no one knows more about a pitcher then his current GM and if he lets a pitcher leave then he has a reason. The performance of those players pales in comparison to those who resign. Burnett's issues may speak to this… just as it may speak to Haren's issues.
- Section 222 - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:56 AM
308, I'm totally with you on saying No to the personal catcher stuff, and Davey has said as much. Frankly, it's an insult to our catchers to blame a pitcher's bad performance on them, and an insult to our pitchers to give a catcher credit for a good pitching performance. Zuki and Ramos are pros, and Znn, Gio amd the rest of the pitching staff will do just fine with either of them.
- sjm308 - Feb 19, 2013 at 4:00 AM
222: amen – I hated when Suzuki came over and people started jumping on his "relationship" with Zimmermann. When you think about moving to a different league in the middle of a season, catcher has to be the most difficult position to make that move. Not only does he have to learn his own staff which he probably has not seen a bunch of, but he has to learn the batters from the other teams and still try and figure out his own offensive situation.
- SonnyG10 - Feb 19, 2013 at 4:46 AM
Good points on a catcher's needs when switching from one league to the other. They indeed do have to pick up a lot quickly.
- Gonat - Feb 19, 2013 at 10:26 AM
Mike DiGiovanna @MikeDiGiovannaMRI on #Angels LHP Sean Burnett (back stiffness) normal, listed as day to day, but he'll undergo more tests with a back specialist Tuesday.

February 18, 2013 11:46 PM _________________________________Learning new players on the fly while also learning 11 new pitchers (already knew Gio) is a daunting task.
- Tcostant - Feb 19, 2013 at 2:21 PM
I like to see sessions everyday of him catching thrown balls from the OF. Catching those are his biggest weakness.
- The Fox - Feb 19, 2013 at 3:12 PM
It would be very difficult to have personal catchers if Suzuki and Ramos actually split time behind the plate. Day games following a night game and rain outs would complicate this. Usually when there is a personal catcher they are the back-up and they catch one specific pitcher. The only time I'm in favor of this is when you have a knuckle-ball pitcher. Bob Uecker was actually a pretty good receiver and was used almost exclusively with Knuckle-ball pitchers. I always liked his quote "The way to catch a knuckle-ball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up."

Suit Commute lets you ride to work and arrive 'wrinkle-free'
Made from high visibility waterproof material ideal for riding
Article Summary
Trying to do the right thing by the environment and ride a scooter or bicycle to work is great – unless you have to wear a suit. Wear it riding and you can sometimes look like the "great unwashed" by the time you arrive at your desk. Place it carefully into a backpack and by the time you're unpacking it, it looks like you ironed it with the leg of a chair. The Suit Commute, however, is designed to hold your neatly pressed suit and shirt in place so you arrive for the board meeting or job interview looking fit for the part (just don't forget to fix your "helmet hair").

Wow, this is excellent. Ubuntu 13.04 is shaping up to be an amazing release, especially with the performance increases. Windows and Mac are not progressing nearly this fast. LINUX FTW!
OK, it could be better, but why should they overhaul the entire system to use systemd right now when upstart is doing the job?

Being a RT kernel user for audio stuff (under Ubuntu Studio), I'm interested in lower latencies under heavy load. But like other people here, I'm wondering if the benches proposed here really evaluate the latency benefits of a new scheduler.
Solitary's suggestion seems better (and fun), and as an additional latency performance indicator, it could be interesting to compare the number of buffer underruns between BFS and CFS for a standardized recording session.
I'll inform the ubuntustudio-devel mailing list about this article, maybe something interesting can arise.
Is there anyone here with a RT kernel, able to comment on general responsiveness?

I don't believe you did a proper review comparing speed of 3D applications like games. Maybe a few more would have helped? Also, why the high resolution for pandman? Should be lowest res to max out cpu, not gpu..
Wow, I'm sorry.
I misunderstood the article and misremembered a few things. I was thinking of CFQ; I thought BFS was a I/O scheduler. Sorry!
Much more interested in BFS now.
Thanks for pointing that out, but I'm sorry for my error.
Many have hinted at the problem with this benchmark and with Ingo Molnar's treatment of Con's contribution: Con is not interested in pushing disk throughput or cpu performance. The point of BFS is to have a system that does not skip, lock or drop frames during high cpu load. Despite great advances in scheduling and despite faster and faster cpus, even multi-core systems, we still experience latency when several things are happening at the same time. These could be cron jobs like man-db or updatedb blocking the disk, compilations running in the background or many other uses of the cpu that should be rather fast, but _never_ block the user interface. So far optimizations have intended to make the system fast is absolute terms and to be fair in the sense that all processes get equal access to the cpu, but what we need is that certain processes need to take a (short) break if we do something with our mouse, the keyboard, or while watching videos and listening to music.
Benchmarks measuring performance are detrimental to Con's effort as they reinforce the way things have been done before: get the last bit out of the cpu, at the expense of the user experience. Being fast in absolute terms is making my experience of the system worse as I am annoyed by unresponsive UIs or dropped frames while I am unable to measure whether a certain process took a few more seconds to complete. I am really surprised that the BFS did so well in this test. Nonetheless, this does not speak for or against the BFS as its goal is completely unrelated.
I wish I had time to do it myself, but I'd like to see some PTS targets that try to measure scheduler performance and latency. The RT Linux wiki has some realtime performance tests (like cyclictest), and various mailing list discussions of BFS and the old SD revealed efforts by some others. Also, PTS could run a compilation test in the background while measuring 3D performance, and if any games report full statistics on their frame times (i.e. minimum frame time (=maxfps), maximum frame time (=minfps), mean, standard deviation, maybe even a histogram), add those results to a graph.
@mutlu_inek: great post.
Its really depressing how all benchmark suites do nothing but measure throughput without even a single remark about responsiveness.
I tried various distros over the years, and while the support and setup surely came long ways Linux still stands no chance against Windows when it comes to UI responsiveness. Heck, I would go so far to claim that WinXP on a 800MHz CPU runs way better (as in never having to wait for the system to grab your input or skip audio) than any setup with Linux I tried (like my 2.5 GHz Dualcore). I went though varies variables, like ATI/NVIDIA Hardware, OSS/propietary drivers... but this has proven true for me always.
Im aware that benchmarks for responsiveness are hard to come by/create. But for a quick comparison you could try lowering the audio-buffer and see when it starts skipping with CPU load, then compare the values for both shedulers. Having a >0.5 seconds delay when changing volume (Ubuntu, and it still skips without noteworthy CPU load) sure is a telltale sign of an unresponsive system.
Looking at pure CPU tests surely is the wrong idea...
It will be good to see some some benchmarks which measure responsiveness, but what benchmark will show you this? However, maybe there are such tests. For some people BFS is more responsive and for some others it's not. It will be great to have some problems fixed in both schedulers.
UI responsiveness is a different thing. It's sad, but even Win95 had very good 2D acceleration. When comes to audio skipping I have much better experience with Linux then with Windows (it seems improperly configured Pulse Audio can introduce some problems, but I don't use it).
Yes, this will be interesting.Also, PTS could run a compilation test in the background while measuring 3D performance

Love it
Love the feel of this! Not sure it really looks like leather, but it feels wonderful and looks good. Just a tad too short-doesn't quite fit over the bottom of the ottoman, but not visible where I have it. I wish the measurements were visible in the description. Where are the fit measurements? Definitely recommend.

Available from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the October Web M&M's Spotlight Case, "Mobility Lost in the ICU," written by APTA member Jim Smith, PT, DPT, MA, explains the role of physical therapy in the hospital and intensive care unit (ICU). Smith's commentary features a man who was admitted to the trauma service with severe injuries was transferred to the ICU for mechanical ventilation. After 6 weeks of hospitalization, the patient's initial shoulder injury progressed to involve significantly limited mobility and pain, prompting concern that physical therapy should have been initiated earlier. Smith's commentary also includes proposed system changes and take-home points for physical therapists.
A PowerPoint presentation of the case study also is available on AHRQ's Web site.

Blue Jays hang finale hopes vs. Yanks on Hutchison
Phelps looking to help New York finish off sweep of first-place Toronto
Two sides of Drew Hutchison have emerged throughout the young right-hander's 14 starts this season: one struggles at home, and the other dominates on the road.
The Blue Jays hope the 23-year-old continues to rule on the road as he looks to extend his five-game unbeaten streak away from Rogers Centre when he faces the Yankees on Thursday.
Hutchison is 4-1 with a 1.71 ERA on the road this season, tossing 60 2/3 innings and allowing 12 earned runs and three homers in nine starts. At home, he's 1-3 with an 8.72 ERA in 21 2/3 innings, with 21 earned runs and seven homers allowed.
His June starts have been representative of those home-away trends. He was lights-out over seven scoreless innings against the Tigers in Detroit on June 3, only to return home on June 8 to deliver his shortest outing of the season (three innings) in a 5-0 loss to the Cardinals.
But in Baltimore on Friday, Hutchison tossed seven dominant innings and allowed six hits as the Blue Jays downed the host Orioles, 4-0.
Hutchison is 0-1 against the Yankees this season after taking a 6-4 loss on April 6 in Toronto. That was Hutchison's second-shortest start, as he registered 3 1/3 innings while allowing six runs on six hits with three walks.
Opposing Hutchison on Thursday will be David Phelps, who's making his ninth start for the Yankees. Phelps is 2-4 with a 4.32 ERA, and he's coming off a win against Oakland in which the right-hander worked 6 2/3 innings, allowing no runs and two hits with four strikeouts. He broke a four-game losing skid with that win.
"Just trying to be consistent on mechanics and all my pitches is the biggest thing for me," said Phelps.
Blue Jays: Lind's foot improving
Blue Jays designated hitter Adam Lind was moving around the clubhouse with more ease on Wednesday afternoon, but he remains day to day with a sore right foot as a result of getting hit by a pitch last Saturday.
The 30-year-old was still walking with a slight limp Wednesday afternoon, but it wasn't nearly as pronounced as the day before. He also went through some light hitting drills and appears to be nearing a return.
The odds of Lind playing in the series finale vs. the Yankees on Thursday appear slim, but after that, the Blue Jays won't really need him for at least a few more days. Toronto will open an Interleague series on Friday night in Cincinnati, and Edwin Encarnacion is expected to get all of the work at first base.
Yankees: Warren gunning for rotation spot
Yankees reliever Adam Warren's name continues to emerge as a candidate to join the starting rotation, now that Shawn Kelley is back in the bullpen.
Warren has yet to make a start this season, but he is 1-3 with a 2.08 ERA, with 39 strikeouts in 39 innings as the Yankees' long reliever.
Manager Joe Girardi estimated Warren could give the Yankees approximately 45-50 pitches at a maximum, however Warren would not necessarily need to be sent down to the Minors in order to raise his pitch count. The Yankees stretched Joba Chamberlain's pitch count to a starter's level a couple of years ago in a similar situation.
"You do it slow, almost like building up in Spring Training," Girardi said.
Worth noting
• Prior to Wednesday's contest, the Toronto Blue Jays returned Colby Rasmus from a medical rehab assignment (right hamstring) and reinstated him from the 15-day DL.To make room on the roster, Anthony Gose was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. Rasmus singled home a run in Toronto's 7-3 loss to New York.
• Since 1988, when pitch counts began to be recorded, there have been 12 different occasions in which a Blue Jay hit the first pitch of the game for a home run. Jose Reyes did it in the series opener against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Customer Reviews
- Burn baby, burn! Review by daynepoo
Quality Price Value When I was in my teens I never had any acne. Then, I moved from the moderate, cool temperatures of Seattle to the hot, humid South. My skin was not happy. After trying countless products without any positive results, I found myself at ULTA yet again, looking for anything! I'm so glad the DERMAdoctor rep was there! She recommended the litmus test line to me, which I now use religiously!
The moisturizer took about 2 weeks for my skin to get used to because the chemicals were fairly strong on my sensitive skin. I am so happy I was able to push through though because this moisturizer, in conjunction with the cleanser and toner, has seriously changed my face! I haven't had a breakout since I started using these products 4 months ago... The only negative I have is that this moisturizer isn't the most moisturizing. I have to add another moisturizer on top of it, but I am completely okay with that because I have FINALLY found something that works for me! - Good stuff Review by mkberry85
Price Value Quality I've used products from thousands of brands, literally; from over the counter drug store brands, to high end, to medical grade products. I also was a medical esthetician for a long while, and this is one of the best products that I have ever used- personally or professionally.
Just a clarification on HopeAgain review. You do not need to use products from the same line or company for them to be effective. In fact, I never have strictly used one brand and rarely use more than two products from the same line, let alone the same brand. Likewise, when I worked in esthetics, I used products from multiple lines. - Love DermaDoctor!! Review by HopeAgain
Quality Price Value Well, first, I have to qualify that the key to all skincare is to use the same brand/product line for your skincare because they're all designed to work together and that delivers the best results. So, when I try a new product line, I try the line - not just one individual thing, so I feel a little weird posting a review for just one product (I guess I'll post this on the other products I'm using too). Anyway, oddly enough I read about DermaDoctor in a Jezabel article about adult onset cystic acne. I was curious and hopped on over to the website. I've tried TONS of other product lines and brands since my once zit-free skin turned into a nightmare of cystic acne at 25 years old (seriously! Not a teenager. Why was this happening?!). 6 years later, I still hadn't found anything that helped THAT much. My doctor put me on a clinical anti-cyst topical gel. It helped, but not that much and turned my skin into a greasy mess. I decided to give this a try. I got the Ain't Misbehavin' cleanser, the Ain't Misbehavin' serum, and the Ain't Misbehavin' face mask. My skin started improving noticeably. I decided to add the Litmus test toner and this Litmus test facial moisturizer and WOW. My skin hasn't looked this good well. . . ever. Even back in my younger days when I didn't get acne, I ALWAYS had stubborn blackheads on my nose that I'd resigned to managing with a combo of attacking them once a week with a blackhead remover and covering them with makeup. They are GONE. I couldn't believe it. After all these years, no blackheads! And, no acne!!! Anyway, I've read some reviews about miraculous overnight results. Skincare doesn't work that way. It usually takes between 6-12 weeks to really start seeing results. I will say that I noticed improvement within the first week, and now 8 weeks later, my face is clear and (dare I use a cliche?) my complexion is luminous. Even my boyfriend commented on how great my skin looks, and he doesn't usually notice things like that. This stuff is not cheap, but at least in my case, it is worth every penny. If you're like me and your skin suddenly decided to revert to its teenage years well into adulthood, I'd say do yourself a favor, and try these products!
- great stuff Review by ks
Value Quality Price i love this product. since I started using this plus the litmus cleanser, my skin has looked incredibly clear. No more oil, no more blemishes. Not sure the products have anything to do with it considering I am using some oral meds but they definitely aren't hurting.
- loving it Review by Rachel
Value Quality Price This product is on the pricey side, however it works wonders. I first bought it a few years ago and loved the results. But after my bottle ran out, I tried several other cheaper lotions expecting the same results. Finally, I came to my senses and purchased it again. I'm so glad I did. It's a great product, and will make your skin glow. I think it's helping with those bitty fine lines that are starting to form. I do use the retinol cream every other night and the facial moisturizer every morning and alternate nights. I swear, I can see those lines fading. I will continue to buy this cream.
- Amazing!! You will notice a big difference! Review by Valerie
Price Value Quality I am in the skic care/beauty industry so I have tried a lot of products & I have to say this is amazing! It even makes your makeup look flawless once you have applied this moisturizer first. Because it is a little steep in price, I use something else at night & save this for daytime so I can wear it under my makeup for that flawless looking finish! I have very sensitive eyes & this does not bother them. This is my first DD product to try & I will definitely be trying some of your other products!
- Greatest moisturizer EVER! Review by Ces
Price Value Quality I purchased this moisturizer and it has changed my skin its glowing, its softer, clearer and so radiant. I feel beautiful. I use with ain't misbehavin ance cleanser and acne control serum. I live in Atlanta, so it gets pretty hot here. Wears beautifully with makeup. Absolutely no irritation or reaction. I'm in love♥
- trial of product Review by Sandy
Price Value Quality My dear friend ordered this product and we decided for the price we should share the contents and decide upon the next step.
We both will be ordering this product in the future. Already, my skin has a different feel. I will report more later after more use. - Love love this stuff Review by Dayna
Price Value Quality Started using the Litmus Test moisturizer and within and week or two my skin went from dry flakey oily all in the same day to normal. I won't be without it.
- From a glycolic acid junkie... Review by Anastasia
Price Value Quality I have tried them ALL... and Litmus Test is thee best! Unfortunately (for me), I've developed a pretty high tolerance to glycolic acid and since it doesn't come in levels or strengths, I have to use a lot more to achieve the same results as most... and with the already steep $50.00 for 1 ounce price tag, it can become quite costly. But it's still my favorite... Believe me, if the price weren't so prohibitive, I would never buy any other brand again!

Officials: Calif. pair made $4M from stolen phones
Shou Lin Wen, Yuting Tan arraigned Tuesday in Sacramento
A California couple were arraigned Tuesday on charges they collected hundreds of stolen smartphones from across the nation, then sold them in Hong Kong for as much as $2,000 each.
Shou Lin Wen, 39, and his wife, Yuting Tan, 27, made nearly $4 million from the scheme in just eight months, the state attorney general said.
Prosecutors say the couple and unnamed co-conspirators recruited people from homeless shelters as far away as North Carolina to sign up for multiyear service contracts that let them buy multiple smartphones at a discount.
The charges allege the buyers had no intention of paying the service contracts and were paid a small fee for their help.
Wen sat down for an exclusive jailhouse interview with KCRA 3.
"I'm innocent," he said.
He denied the state Attorney General's allegations that he exploited the homeless to get the phones.
Wen said he did not know any homeless people.
"I just buy from Craigslist," Wen said.
Prosecutors say middlemen, who have not been charged, shipped the phones to the Sacramento couple.
They were arraigned in Sacramento County Superior Court on eight felony counts of money laundering, grand theft, possession of stolen property and conspiracy. They remained jailed with bail set at $1 million each.
Neither entered a plea.
Their attorney, Patricia Campi, said she had just received the case and couldn't comment.
The arrests resulted from a six-month, multi-state investigation that tracked stolen phones to California, then on to Hong Kong.
The couple were arrested March 6 during an undercover operation by special agents from the attorney general's 2-year-old eCrime Unit.
The agents met the couple in parking lot, where they offered to sell the couple 408 smartphones. Agents say the couple produced $60,600 in cash to buy 163 of the phones.

Finding a preschool for your toddler is no small undertaking, both from a practical and emotional standpoint. And for many parents, it is cause for significant anxiety since it may be the very first time they will commit the care of their little one to someone outside of the family.
Here are some tips to help you navigate this important—and for some, difficult—milestone.
1. Make a list. When I was planning for my daughter's entry into preschool, I was preoccupied with finding a place where she would be happy and comfortable, important factors to be sure. And thankfully, I found such a place, but many of the other factors I should have considered, I did not. As a result, I didn't anticipate the time it might take me to get to her preschool in rush hour traffic. What was a twenty-minute drive under the best of circumstances, took an hour or more in the morning. It is a good strategy to sit down with your spouse or partner, or anyone with whom you co-parent your child to make your wish-list for a pre-school, clearly identifying and separating the things it must have from those that you would like it to have but that may be negotiable.
2. Check your local ordinances and regulations governing preschools and daycare centers. Child care centers and preschools are generally regulated by state and local laws and ordinances that may prescribe things like the ratio of caregivers to children, the availability of certain types of foods, environmental safety precautions and the like. It is important to know what those standards are in your state or locality, and to inquire with the relevant authorities about whether the school of your choosing has a record of compliance. Many, if not all of these regulations are in place to protect and preserve the safety of children in their care, a goal you certainly share as a parent.
3. Prepare questions that you want to ask in advance. In general, preschools tend to be bright, cheery and physically appealing places and the people who work there—should you visit—will be trying to impress you. Don't allow yourself to be unduly swayed by the Dora the Explorer decals, soothing, pale yellow walls, and the smiling face of the preschool director. Come prepared to ask all the questions you need answered in order to feel comfortable that you are leaving your child(ren) in a place where you feel confident they will be safe and happy. Don't be afraid to ask difficult questions. Ater all, you are entrusting them with your child. I recall thinking, as I left my six-week old baby at her first day care center, that I had only met her caregivers on one single occasion before that. The amount of faith that required is staggering in retrospect. I suggest that you not go on "faith" alone, but on rigorously researched information, and the responses given to your well thought out questions.
4. Consider several options. It's always a good idea to look at several options before making a final decision. Take advantage of open houses and visit several preschools that meet your criteria. It may be a good idea to bring along your preschooler to see the one or two finalists after you've narrowed the field a bit. Take note of how they interact with their surroundings and how the staff and caregivers interact with them. Allow them to ask questions (if they have any), and pay attention to what they say about the reasons they did or did not like the places. When I toured two close contenders for a preschool for my daughter. One center gained the edge because the staff person giving us the tour made eye contact with my daughter frequently, spoke to her as frequently as she did to me, and at the end of the visit, my daughter was reluctant to leave.
5. Find out what other parents have to say. Early childhood care and education is a competitive business these days. Some national daycare and preschool chains have sophisticated websites with happy and smiling children and parents pictured. Just reading the reviews can make you excited about the enriching experience your child will have if they attend. But testimonials on websites and references provided by the schools are by their nature meant to be overwhelmingly positive. For a reality check, join parent groups or online boards where real parents discuss their experiences. If you go on a tour of a preschool, spontaneously speak to parents whose kids currently attend the school. Or if possible, reach out to them in another venue.
At the end of the day it's important to remember that preschool is an exciting time! I still remember watching my daughter blossom from a baby to a smart, vivacious, chirpy little girl who couldn't stop talking about her new teachers and friends. The satisfaction I got from watching her cross that threshold banished all my fear and helped me look ahead to the next stage of her development, as eager and excited as she was to see her world grow larger as she formed bonds with other children and caring adults.

Thumbnails of Previous Next http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Wessel-Horz_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Early Out At the start of the battle, Chef Kris Wessel and his competitors open their appetizer-round baskets to find sour apple martini mix, fennel, mortadella and white asparagus. With these, Chef Kris makes poached eggs with steamed asparagus and rendered mortadella, although he's ultimately chopped after the first round, on account of flavors that Judge Amanda Freitag deems "not enough." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Evans-02_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg The First of Many Machines Just moments into the battle, Chef Rob Evans begins work with a machine — this time a juicer — which will come to define his second appearance on Chopped. Here he juices tart green apples to infuse freshness into the sour apple martini mix, which will be featured in a deconstructed vinaigrette atop blanched asparagus and pickled fennel. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Park-03_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Expecting More Despite the stellar presentation of Chef Helen's asparagus and fennel salad, Judge Alex Guarnaschelli questions whether it's worthy of a Champions battle, and Chef Helen tells her, "Do I think it's a $50,000 dish? No, but I think it's the beginning of a $50,000 meal." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Gerin-02_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Embracing Fennel For his appetizer, Chef Jean-Louis prepares a coulis made with both the bulb and greens of the fennel, plus grilled asparagus and sauteed mortadella. Although Chef Amanda calls the meat "a little clunky," she says that the coulis "just screamed classical," and he ultimately advances to the entree round with Chefs Rob and Helen. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Park-02_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Entree Ingredients Revealed In their entree baskets, the remaining champions meet their first mandatory raw protein, this time calves' liver, which is paired with fava greens, honey wine and halloumi cheese. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Gerin_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Liver 2.0 After working with chicken liver in his previous Chopped competition, Chef Jean-Louis is surprised to find something similar this round. Here he sears the liver without breading and serves it with sauteed greens and a mushroom-honey wine sauce that Judge Aarón Sanchez says "really keeps the liver moist." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Park_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg New Approach "This dish is going to be more based on building the flavors as opposed to an architectural structure," Chef Helen says of her entree, fideo — a Mediterranean noodle dish — with a caramel-honey wine sauce and sauteed calves' liver. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Ted-Allen-Chef-Evans-02_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Side Dish Successes Although the judges aren't wowed by Chef Rob's overcooked liver, the flavors of his chili-honey wine gastrique, fried halloumi and onion-rice fritters impress the panel. "The combination of the rosemary and the honey with the fried cheese and the fava greens is great," Judge Alex tells Chef Rob, who ultimately survives to cook in the third and final round. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_Evaluation-Judges_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Still Not Enough After tasting Chef Helen's dish, the judges agree that her entree is indeed riskier than her appetizer, but they question the flavor of the sauce. She's ultimately chopped just one course before dessert given that "some elements didn't really come together" and that her sauce is "too sweet," according to Judge Aarón. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Evans_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Special Equipment With such mandatory basket ingredients as maraschino cherries, Greek yogurt, canned espresso and corn nuts, Chef Rob starts prepping an espresso trifle topped with a corn-nut crumble and yogurt mousse which he smokes with a smoking gun. "My goal is to stun the judges and give myself a creative edge, which has helped me through this whole competition," he explains. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Ted-Allen-Chef-Gerin_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Chocolate Indulgence "I'm doing a crumble because I can bring a whole bunch of tastes together," Chef Jean-Louis explains of his dessert, a cherry-corn nut crumble made with lady finger cookies, breadcrumbs and chocolate and served with chocolate sauce and fresh oranges. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_Evaluation-Ted-Allen-Judges_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Decision Time The judges agree that both chefs brought their "A" games to the dessert round with top-notch dishes. "If this were a contest based solely on taste, it was a tie," Judge Alex explains. In the end, the panel decides that Chef Rob's creativity throughout the competition earned him the opportunity to compete in the Grand Finale battle. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2012/12/27/0/DONS_ROUND-FOUR-Chef-Evans-03-Horz_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg On To the Finale Outcooking another competition's worth of Chopped competitors, Chef Rob Evans has scored the fourth and final spot in the Grand Finale battle, where he will compete for $50,000 and the title of Chopped Grand Champion. "I'm ready to take it," he says of the upcoming showdown. "I'm not going to let anyone get in my way." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2013/1/10/0/CQ_Chopped-Cloche_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Find Out More About Chopped Visit Food Network's Chopped headquarters for more insider coverage of the show.

veröffentlicht am 03.08.2013 /
KTM factory rider Marc Coma on Saturday wrapped up the Rally dos Sertões in Brazil by winning the final Stage Ten just seven seconds ahead of rival and former teammate Cyril Despres. Coma finished third in the overall standings behind winner Paolo Goncalves of Portugal and Despres of France.
Coma top three in 8 of 10 stages
Following the largely tactical prologue where riders jockey for favorable starting places, the Spanish rider had a win and three second places in the next four stages. But in the first half of the marathon stage, where riders are not permitted any mechanical assistance over two consecutive stages his wheel took a big impact during Stage Five. At the start of Stage Six he noticed a crack in the wheel and had to nurse his damaged KTM 450 Rally bike home at a very careful pace. He finished back at 23rd and lost 42 minutes in the process, most of which he managed to make up in the remaining stages. Marc Coma then registered two more stage wins and a second and third place, making him top three in eight of ten stages.
Fourth overall for Jakub Przygonski
KTM factory teammate Jakub 'Kuba' Przygonski of Poland finished fourth in Stage Ten and fourth overall, having moved up one place each day in the second half of the rally. Ruben Faria, the third KTM factory rider had to retire after a wrist injury in the first half of the rally.
Marc Coma: "There was not much more I could do today but I tried to finish well. It was a short stage with a very quick first part and then another mountain. I didn't take too many risks but still tried to go as fast as possible. That's all we could do. Generally the rally has been a good one. Losing more than 42 minutes then still being able to get on the podium means I should be more than happy. We also had three stage wins. Physically I felt good, we had a good pace and we know we are competitive. We also put in quite a few more miles and that is very important for our preparation. Now we have to continue the work."
Championship title chase hots up
Rally dos Sertões was also the fifth leg of the FIM World Cross Country Rally Championships in which Coma is the points leader and is bidding to retain his world title. He and Goncalves are the main contenders and with one rally to go, the Pharaoh's Rally in Egypt (September 28 to October 5, 2013), Coma maintains a slim 8 points lead in the title chase.

The wings have two different connectors to tell right from left. I would check the little pegs at the tip of the connector and make sure that you have 2 different sized ones. My left wing was really hard to push in the first time, but now is fine.
anyone else have a hard time putting in his right wing, one pops right in, the other won't go no matter how hard you push, is there a trick to it?
on the wing it looks like a peg, it matches the hole where the wing goes.

yeah i know, one of them goes in right away, but the other one with the peg in the end won't go in, nothings broke on it, it depends on how you look at it, if you're facing it then i guess it's the left one, but it's right wing overall. anyone have any tips?

The left wing on my SW pops right off when I rotate it. Weak.
Got my SWIFT WIND today. The left wing doesn't stay in and the right one snapped off two of the three tabs that hold it in as soon as I put in in. And they're not on the wrong sides (the pegs have a little "L" and "R" on them). This is the first time I've had any quality control issues with this line. Super annoying though.

I STRONGLY suggest emailing Digital River and calling them... and getting a replacement.
I also suggest posting over in the Matty Forums. Toyguru will NOT acknowledge this unless we do the job: take pics of the broken pieces, post videos demonstrating the problem, and/or call/email Digital River.
This may be a design issue... not a sculpt thing.
There have been some issues with design for a while now... design being the transition from prototype sculpt to funtioning toy.
Swift Wind, Hurricane Hordak, Flipshot (visor, flappy wings on the jet-pack), King Hssss shoulders, Roboto shoulders, Marlena heads looking SEVERELY down, unsealed paint on the Leech body (no, I don't believe the green and red paint is supposed to be matte and scratchable), Man-E-Faces heads not fitting exactly right, etc.
I'm afraid for when the Sorceress is released!
I don't mind some of these things, and I think Terry and whoever else works on design do a great job for the most part. I just think more attention needs to be paid, or perhaps some more experience needs to be brought in... we are paying a premium on these figures.

Swiftwind's left wing was really tough to get in there, but both are in there for good. I pulled the wing out and that was tough to the point where I thought I broke it, so I won't be doing that again.
I did make sure the shape of the peg was lined up with the hole and pushed really hard to be sure that it was in there as far as possible. I don't know if that could be a problem with some of the wings that are falling out since it did require a ridiculous amount of force. I can definitely see how broken tabs can easily happen.
Since the wings are so similar aside from the subtle curve, I wonder if anyone got stuck with a pair of identical wings instead of a proper set. It's possible that some may have been packaged with the wings on the wrong side, too. I guess those could be things to look out for. Good luck with exchanges for those who need it. Thankfully, Matty was very good about replacing my cracked Roboto.
Both of mine were really tough to get in, but now that they're in, they're in there GOOD and tight, and after hearing about everyone's issues, I'm feeling pretty lucky about that!

Immediately after I opened SWIFT WIND and he broke, I phoned Matty and spoke with a representative. They assured me that they would contact me within 48 hours with instructions on getting a replacement. I've waited patiently and... NOTHING. I understand that quality control may have problems from time to time, and while aggravating, I don't let it bother me much. But saying that you'll do something and then not following through is just not acceptable in any area of life. If one needs more time for promised action, then the least one can do is inform the waiting party that more time is required.
So Mattel: BIG FAT ****ING FAIL!!!

I had the same problem, but If you analyze the peg and the slot, you can see that the peg has to be turned a certain way for it to go in.
Check to see if the tabs inside the hole are broken. That's what happened to the left wing on my Swiftwind. The wing will stay in if I don't move it.

It's not a problem, it's just that the peg has to be turned a certain way to fit in. This helps keep it from slipping out so easily. Examine the hole closely and you can see how it's supposed to fit in. My post above addresses this.
"Not a problem" !?
Go tell that to those who got a Swiftwind with a broken wing...
Because there's not only the connectors' problem. There's ALSO the fact that some Swiftwind figures arrived with a broken wing !
I sure hope the Griffin won't suffer from the same flaw.
"Wheresoever on earth he dwells, man is prey to two weaknesses: the need to pray and the need to love."-Marquis de Sade
"It is not by reasoning or by our understanding that we have received our religion; it is by external authority and command."-Michel De Montaigne
Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
Oh I didn't hear about broken wings. I thought it was just an issue of not getting the wing to fit easily. That's what I saw when I skimmed the posts. I posted the answer to the fitting problem, but no one seemed to bothered to read my post, so I reiterated. I'd be miffed if my Swifty's wing was broken but CS has been good about replacing broken products for me in the past. I hate having to wait for a replacment, but it's usually free anyway.

When a female performs oral sex on a male, then just as he is about to come, pulls out a lighter and lights a fart he has been holding in. This culminates in a combo orgasm/fart fireball. This is the infamous Smoky Texan.
"Have your zippo and some tissues on standby love, I really feel like a Smoky Texan tonight.

The act of being out in a social public setting (i.e. Restaurant, Cocktail Bar, Coffee shop) and only spending time on your mobile device; not the people with or around you.

What happens when a group of high school or college kids gets together and no one actually talks but they all sit there and fiddle with their I-phones, I-pods and , I pads —each in their own separate bubble. Kind of like socializing except no one interacts.
At the dorm meeting the new freshmen all sat around Nocializing , and when they left not one of them could even remember the name of any of the other kids who were there.
