I don't believe we have even thought about stereo for open source.
Most of the work is HW-independent driver effort. For the part that is HW-dependent, I'm not sure if the GPU itself is involved with communicating which-eye info to the display/glasses or whether that's specific to the board (and not our IP).
I was under the impression that only FirePRO boards supported stereo today, but maybe that's out-of-date info.

7 Peaks Series

• Page 2 of 3 • 1, 2, 3
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesThanks zakka, yesterday was up & down 3 times, did the 1:20 twice and the wall once. Paying for it today but I am thinking of taking advantage of the early sunrise this time of year and do the 1:20 and wall each Saturday. It would work out to be a 70km ride with about 1300m of climbing, just have to be on the road by 5:30 so I am home in time for the wife going to work.

Re: 7 Peaks SeriesI live in a very flat area with the closest hills about an hour or more away, i have a young family (13 week & 3 year old) so going away to train is hard.
my questions are is there any hope that i could finish any of these with minimal climbing training (say 1 climb every 2 weeks plus flat riding) or second question what sort of training could i do to replicate climbing. i'm very interested in doing as many as i could manage just have no idea as to whether my aspirations are exceeding my abilities due to not having and not being able to do a lot of climbing thank you in advance for any help
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesHi averagerider
when you say flat, where abouts do you live? you might be surprised what might be around for you to train on. Is there a decent hill nearby where you can do repeats of it? I just got back from my first ride up Mt Donna Buang, it took me about 97 minutes of riding time and I did have a few rests along the way. I have been training on the 1:20 & The Wall and the Wall really helped on some of the steep sections in that the 2 ramps of the wall are about the same gradient as some of the ramps on Donna. The one difference is distance. The 1:20 is 6.4km and The Wall is 5.5km and Donna is about 17km so its the length of time you are riding I found this site really helpful as it lists and lot of climbs in Victoria http://theclimbingcyclist.com/ They say the best training for hills is hills but sometimes you just have to make do with what you have got so I would use whats close to home and then make the occasional hill work out count and hit them hard Good luck YVP 2011 Felt F75
2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesThanks for the reply YVP
I live about 40mins away from shepparton, so I think there are hills around dookie (50mins) benalla (1hr or so) euroa (same as benalla) & Mansfield (nearly 2hr) They are sort of the only places I can think of close to my area Where are the rides you talk of? The 1:20, the wall and MT Donna Buang. I thought it would be the case of train on hills to be able to conquer them but was hoping there was another alternative but just might have to gather some brownie points with the family to be able to get out there at least once a week
Re: 7 Peaks Seriesmmmm you maybe in a bit of a pickle for some close by hills
a quick strava search indicates that Dookie is your best option, is it 50 min ride of 50 min by car? There are some good cliimbs that if you did a couple of times would certainly give you the kind of workout your after This one is bloody steep and would hurt even though its only 1.5km http://app.strava.com/segments/1299783 not sure if its dirt but I presume tv tower access roads on Mt Major are bitumen This one is 3km so if you did this 2 or 3 times http://app.strava.com/segments/640901 again its around Mt Major There is a few more, hopefully this link will show you some climbs http://app.strava.com/segments/explore# ... pe/terrain but I agree you maybe stuck for options When I talk about the 1:20 & the wall these are climbs on Mt Dandenong in the outer eastern burbs of Melbourne. I only live 15km from the Basin and 10km from Montrose so its a perfect place to get to the Dandys If your fit and willing to give them a go and onlt have the chance once in a blue moon, why dont you hit the hills anyway, bugger if you have done hill training or not, just give them a crack Here is a good site that lists most of the big climbs in Vic http://theclimbingcyclist.com/ also if your on strava you can search for segments of even use mapmyride and that will give you elevations As long as your out there riding thats all that matters 2011 Felt F75

Re: 7 Peaks SeriesYVP it's about 50mins by car
Thanks for all the info, I might just have a crack at these ones first see how I go and then decide from there as to how I go about tackling the others. I imagine around the dandenongs would be some nice rides. I will check out the website as well, I follow him on twitter but haven't really had much of a look. Thanks again.
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesThere are plenty of nice rides in and around the Dandenongs, I am lucky being so close. Today's ride up Mt Dona Buang was beautiful also, some great views but it was foggy up the top

Re: 7 Peaks Series
Warby range outside Wangaratta or the Strathbogies are probably your best bet for hill training. Most of your training can be straight out endurance but you'll need to do some hill repeats to build strength. They don't have to be long hills for that. Devenish-Wangaratta Rd passes over the Warby Range and 3 or 4 km of solid climbing on each side --Ken
Helmets! Bells! Rego!
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesSounds good YVP, also i checked out Strava and have found some extra hills which are small but a little closer to home so thanks for your help.
KenGS cheers for your reply its now given me a few different options for some training rides Much Appreciated
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesPlanning to get my first stamp tomorrow and do Lake Mountain for the first time.
I am a bit nervous, I hear the first 4.4km is above 8% thats going to hurt 2011 Felt F75
2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesGood luck YVP could you post some feedback about your ride so I can get an idea what it's like
If that's okay with you Cheers Hope it goes well
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesWell I got my first stamp today with my ride up Lake Mountain.
As I had been told the first 4.4km are insane, average gradient of 8%, maximum of 14%. Needless to say I had to stop and let the heart rate drop a couple of times (it was approaching 200 well over my max) in that 4km . Once over that section it was a pretty routine climb with an average gradient of 5%, a couple of pinches or around 8% but nothing sustained like the first section. At 21km its a long climb but you do get sections where you can coast a bit. Its a nice climb and in some ways I think Donna Buang is tougher in that the pain is spread out, not in 1 4km section. It hasnt put me off Mt Buller and hopefully life and weather will not conspire against me this week and I will get my second stamp by the time I go back to work in just over a weeks time 2011 Felt F75
2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesWell done yvp, great effort. Yep, that first few km of lake mountain is tough! I'm doing a few of the peaks with mates, and was lucky enough to do mt buller with the climbing cyclist/hells 500 group - great experience, if you can, join them for one of the peaks. I did mt Donna buang today, second time I've ever done it, and ur right it's not easy. I commented to a guy up the top, there's no respite, no flats - all climbing for 17km. I reckon it's the 8th peak! Well done again, speaking from experience, you'll find the big hills addictive and want to do more
"It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels"
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesThanks oldnewby
I did Lake Mountain with Matt & Andy today, great organisation and over 150 people made the journey with me. Not sure I can get a leave pass from the boss for their next ride of Buller and am thinking of going it alone this week if I can while I am still on annual leave. I am getting a little bored on the flats and tend to hit Mt Dandy every weekend. I do plan on hitting Donna a bit more often and yes it should be the 8th but I guess its not part of the relevant tourism broads promotion The best thing for me for where I live, Launching place is 35min and Marysville is just under the hour so I can hit Donna and Lake Mountain with a Sunday morning leave pass, something I can usually negotiate a couple times per month 2011 Felt F75
2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesI'm from the valley.. went to UYSC, my Dad still lives in Warby.
Oh yeah, didn't realise the CC/Hells 500 Lake Mountain was today, that would have been awesome with 150 people, fantastic! I actually rode thru Launching Place today, and have a new favourite road I think - Gembrook - Launching place, love it. Keep up the riding, will hopefully see you out there someday. "It is the unknown around the corner that turns my wheels"
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesThe near perfect weather, a brilliant climb, coupled with a glorious descent equaled a brilliant day !!
Andy & Matt sure pulled out the day for it .. !! Matt
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesCongrats YVP, beautiful ride by the sounds of it.
Making it very hard not to have a crack, might just have to save up all my brownie points and get training.
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesThanks averagerider
I would definitely store up the brownie points because I am starting to struggle doing flat rides, not the same amount of satisfaction as climbing a decent hill and the descents are great fun also I am planning on hitting Mt Dandy tomorrow morning, I have one week left of annual leave, I need to take advantage of it as I will be back to weekend rides only 2011 Felt F75
2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesHey YYP
Sounds like you are having a ball playing in the Nongs and Donna Buang, A great ride you might like to try is McMahons Creek to Marysville over the Reefton Spur, once at Marysville you climb to Lake Mountain and then home from there. Or as you are heading to Donna now why not head to Noojee and then do the ride to Baw Baw and back, its a 100k return with great up and down parts, Vespers is a great hill just out of Noojee to ride up and then its pretty good up and down stuff to the base of Mt Baw Baw which is so tantalisingly close to another Stamp for 7peaks
Re: 7 Peaks Seriessounds interesting oldnslow, I might look at that, but next summer
I have only been riding 15 or 16 months and I am just starting out in the hills so one step at a time. Long distance climbs like that might be a little out of reach right now and I wont dare take on baw baw just yet, I will but just not yet, more training needed. I ended up giving this morning a miss, the legs were hurting and ever since starting my fit life about 2 years ago I have lived by the mantra, I am not playing for sheep stations and listen to your body. To date I have avoided injury so when I woke at 5 with a bit of muscle soreness, a lack of desire I decided to sleep in. I am feeling great for it but I wont get a chance to ride until I take on Buller on Friday. I plan to run tomorrow, use some different muscles 2011 Felt F75

Re: 7 Peaks SeriesJust my 2c. So my parents own a house up in mt. beauty me and my dad decided to ride up to falls creek (not knowing about the 7 peaks then) anyway so he had his flat bar roadie but I didn't bring my road bike up instead I had a bmx so no way was I riding that up so I got my sister to lend me her mountain bike. Problem being its a 17" frame and im probably around 6'1 also i didnt have any cycling shorts with me . So we set of in the morning and my lower back was giving me some grief and so was my bum, but i kept going and didn't complain (too much). Long story short the last 5 kilometers where hell full of stops every kilometer or so to rest my poor sore bum but I eventually made it too the top with my dad my ass very sore but my legs feeling fine. Met with the family had a bite too eat and headed back down on the descent when we got back to out house the family told us about the 7 peaks and had got us passports and got them stamped .
A couple of days later we did the tawonga gap to bright from mount beauty (mum's hybrid this time) which was fairly easy except or another sore bum Then during the heat wave we tried to get up buffalo, I must say I almost died we got maybe a quarter of the way up and i had sweat dripping into my eyes and I was so dizzy I felt like I was about to pass out so we turned around and rode back to bright. On the long weekend we are going to do lake mountain and donna buang this time I will have my giant and hopefully a 12-28 cassette (instead of 12-23 )
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesI got my second stamp today up on Mt Buller
It was a tough ride from Mansfield and my strava suffer score was 405 "epic" It was bloody hot with an average temp of 31 and a max of 40 on the way back to Mansfield. The MT Buller climb took 91min of climbing but 120min elapsed. The last few km's really hurt but I got up there I am in the group photo from Matt & Andy's ride, Lake Mountain was easier but I didnt ride 30 odd km to get to the base of the climb and it was easy 10 degrees cooler 2011 Felt F75
2012 Fuji Nevada 2.0
Re: 7 Peaks SeriesWell done YVP, its a good ride from Mansfield but adding Buller to it makes it 'Epic', Great pic with Andy and Matt, I thought I recognised you, you are the one with your hand up. lol
Whats the next mountain for you.
Re: 7 Peaks Series
If you're stuck in the flatlands, you can simulate climbing according to a coach mate - sit up straight, hands on tops, big ring efforts (start small and build up), preferably into a headwind. Any chance of a headwind up there?

Tradition 11 - "Our public relations policy is based on attraction, not promotion. We need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press radio and films."
We have an interesting little controversy brewing in one of our local groups. First a little background. About a year ago (before my time) one of the old-timers in my home group decided it would be nice to have a Friday morning meeting at 8:00 am. He thought it would be a nice way to start off the weekend, and everyone would be fresh early in the morning. It ended up becoming it's own group, the "As Bill Sees It" Group. The leader reads several passages from the book "As Bill Sees It", and we discuss it I really like it because it is usually very small (8-10 folks) and most of the folks are retired and have a lot of sobriety and experience and I need all the help I can get (I'm not retired, but can set my own hours).
Anyway, one of the regulars has a friend who works for the local weekly paper (we live in a pretty small town). This regular, I guess, had confided in this guy from the paper that she was a member of AA. He told her that he was working on an article entitled "Recovery on the Island!" or some such theme and asked if he could attend a meeting with her to see what one was like. So yesterday morning she put it in front of the group before the meeting started (there were only 8 of us there). Holey Moley! You'd have thought WWIII had just broken out. Out of the 8 people there, I heard at least 14 different opinions. No! Yes! Tell 'im we don't want 'im! Give him some pamphets! Call the district! The State! Call New York!!! If he's here I'll walk out! anon anon. We finally settled down and started the meeting (about 5 mins late) and reserved 10 mins for a quick group conscious meeting. Here's what we decided.
1. This meeting is an open meeting, therefore anyone is welcome to attend. However, we ask that those who share confine their comments to matters pertaining to alcoholism. Conduct the meeting the same as we always do.
2. The host (the regular who brought it up) should emphasize to her friend and the meeting leader should re-emphasize the importance of the personal anonymity of our members.
3. If any member of the group is uncomfortable, they should stay away.
4. If you want to use an alias you can ("I'm Bullwinkle, and I'm an alcoholic").
5. Offer copies of our free literature, to provide him with AA approved information regarding the fellowship. (and sell him a Big Book if he wants (or needs) one)
6. It was strongly suggested that any request for personal interviews be declined.
A lot of you may think that this is much ado about nothing, but remember, this is a small town, and many members are well known in the community. Hell, the reporter probably will know half of us anyway. (I remember when I first walked into the rooms, I knew about a half a dozen folks One of the even came up to me and said "I wondered when you'd show up here"...so much for my delusion that no one knew I was a drunk). I think we're handling it right, and if the reporter does a good job, the article may attract some folks out there who need AA but don't know who or what we are. I'm just curious if any of you have had this experience and how you handled it.

Cubs can influence postseason picture in Cincinnati
Wood, Arroyo square off as Reds look to climb in NL Central
This is the time of year where a team like the Cubs might usually look to play the role of spoiler. Then again, how much is there to spoil?
The five National League playoff spots are all but locked up by the Dodgers, Braves, Cardinals, Pirates and Reds. All that's left to determine, essentially, is who will be crowned NL Central champion and who will meet in the Wild Card game.
But there's quite a difference between sailing into the NL Division Series and having to battle it out in a one-and-done showdown. So there's still quite a bit on the line for the Reds, who will kick off a three-game series with the Cubs on Monday night at Great American Ball Park.
And Chicago can play a big role in shaping the postseason picture, as the Cubs will travel from Cincinnati straight to Pittsburgh and, at the end of the season, St. Louis.
"You never want to be a spoiler, and not that there's really any spoiling going on," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said, noting that their three NL Central rivals are heading to the playoffs. "Cincinnati has put themselves in the division race as well. It'll be fun, the atmosphere in Pittsburgh as well as Cincinnati.
Cincinnati enters on a four-game winning streak, its first since Aug. 11-15.
"You're getting in that playoff-type atmosphere when you're trying to win a division, and later, it'll be the same when we get to St. Louis. It's good for everybody to see that and play in those atmospheres. It's different."
The Reds appear to have the right man heading to the mound to start this series, as right-hander Bronson Arroyo has gone 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in two starts against the Cubs this season.
Arroyo has only given up eight hits and two walks while striking out nine over his 13 innings against Chicago, and he's coming off a solid outing Wednesday against the Cardinals. Arroyo pitched seven innings his last time out, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits with four strikeouts.
The Cubs will counter with lefty Travis Wood, who is 0-4 with a 4.15 ERA in six career starts against the Reds, including an 0-3 mark and a 3.67 ERA in four starts this season. On the bright side, Wood has compiled a 4-3 record and 2.60 ERA on the road this year, compared to a 4-8 record and 3.53 ERA at home.
Wood's last outing was an unusual one, as he mostly shut down the Marlins' right-handed hitters but yielded four runs, all on homers -- a solo shot by left-handed-hitting rookie Christian Yelich and a three-run blast by Miami pitcher Henderson Alvarez -- en route to his 11th loss.
Cubs: Castillo, Navarro look to contain Hamilton
As if it wasn't already hard enough to slow down the Reds' potent lineup, Cincinnati added another dimension to its offense by calling up the speedy Billy Hamilton. He'll present quite a challenge for catchers Welington Castillo and Dioner Navarro over the next three days. Sveum said the key for the Cubs' pitchers is to not let a runner like Hamilton distract them, thereby affecting how they attack who's at the plate.
"The more you try to stop it, the more bad pitches you throw," Sveum said. "You don't really stop that kind of speed, otherwise people would've stopped it. If you want to keep slide-stepping or if you want to keep holding or if you want to keep throwing over, the next thing you know, you give up the two-run homer or three-run homer, because you're so worried about something that's 99 percent chance going to happen anyway."
• Right-hander Daniel Bard, claimed off waivers from the Red Sox, threw a second bullpen session Sunday. The Cubs don't have a timetable to get him into a game, and he may not play for Chicago this season.
"It'd be nice to see, but it's his timetable and we'll evaluate and we'll find out how he's doing and how he's feeling," Sveum said.
Reds: Votto, Choo walking into history
Joey Votto (116 walks) and Shin-Soo Choo (97) are attempting to become the fourth set of Reds teammates with at least 100 free passes in a season. If Choo draws five more this season, they'll join Bob Bescher (102) and Johnny Bates (103) in 1911, Joe Morgan (115) and Johnny Bench (100) in '72 and Morgan (120) and Pete Rose (106) in '74.
• Outfielder Jay Bruce is looking to become the 46th player in Major League history to record at least 45 doubles, 30 homers and 100 RBIs in one season. Entering Monday's game, Bruce had 38 doubles, 29 home runs and 93 RBIs. The only other Reds player to accomplish the feat is Frank Robinson in 1962 (51 doubles, 39 homers, 136 RBIs).
Worth noting
• Castillo and Navarro have combined to catch every inning for the Cubs this season, one of three pairs of Major League backstops to do so. The other two are the Angels' duo of Chris Iannetta and Hank Conger and Tampa Bay's Jose Molina and Jose Lobaton.
• The Reds entered Sunday night's series finale against the Dodgers with a 46-24 record at home.
• Zack Cozart is on a career-high 13-game hitting streak.

"best book of the series so far"
believe it or not, zombie fallout keeps getting better! i really liked the 1st book, thought the 2nd book was pretty good, but not as good as the 1st book. i think the 3rd book, the end, is the best of the 1st 3. book 3 expands upon what mark tufo was building in the previous 2 books- justin's sickness, eliza's and tommy's backstories, etc... the chase is still fresh! why eliza is after mike talbot is answered. major revelations are finally exposed.
the end begins with the end of eliza's human life. i really like these flashbacks from both eliza's and tomas' lives. it provides insight as to why eliza is so hell-bent on killing everybody.
the story then picks up a little before the ending of book 2. we see mike, bt, and jen battling the zombie hoard through the eyes of those who escaped. the desperation of seeing your loved ones surrounded by flesh eating zombies, the guilt of letting them sacrifice themselves so you can escape, and the hope the sound a 50 caliber machine gun going off can provide.
another plus is learning what happened to brandon after he left ny himself.
after being saved by a small convoy of soldiers, the survivors are brought back to camp custer and what ensues is worthy of the camp's name. if you don't know what i mean, then you are either dense or uneducated! hey...that's me channeling mike talbot. but really if you don't know who custer was, google it.
even though it may seem impossible and improbable, things actually get worse for mike talbot. the same cast of characters are there, and that's good! i will point out that justin plays a bigger role in this book than the previous. i like how tufo has used justin's infection as a plot point, and it's done really well in this book. i really love the banter b/ween mike and bt.
mark tufo does an excellent job describing the power of a zombie hoard and the fear it produces. i cite the hoard squishing its way through mike's 2nd story bedroom wall in book 1 and the miles of marching zombies in book 2. i thought i had seen it all from tufo, but in book 3, the end, tufo again out does himself with the swarming hoard.
man, if you think zombies are bad, some "normal" humans can just be sicker. humans can do the most vile things when they have power over another. history proves it and mark tufo has given us a few good snapshots of human cruelty. the first one was in book 1 with mike's insane zombie rapist neighbor. in this book, an old enemy appears just as enthusiastic, and new enemies push the scale even further into depravity.
mike puts it best, "man was a plague upon itself. i have firsthand experience that wwar brings out the worst in the two opposing sides. even that can't hold a candle to what happens to the human mentality of the victor over the conquered. it is something about having absolute power over another being that drives men to incomprehensible acts of cruelty."
i'm a dog lover, but i hate english bulldogs. they're slow and slovenly, but i think i love henry after this book. believe it or not, there are some touching moments in this book, and one revolves around mike and a boy named porkchop. i kid you not!
if you liked the first 2 books, then you probably aren't even reading this review. lol i'm a fan of the zombie fallout series and will probably pick up the next book in the series w/o reading any reviews.
"good continuation, unexpected development"
it's one of those types of endings where you either can't wait for the next book or you can't believe the story went in that direction.
as the story opens, adrian, gilbert, abby, and her family are setting up their defenses after being attacked by members of the group from the high school that followed abby and her family to the campus.
throughout the main storyline, adrian and his group have skirmishes with the group from the high school until he and gilbert decide something definite needs to be done to end the hostilities. overall, i was satisfied with how the situation was ultimately resolved.
between skirmishes, adrian makes contact with the group at stig, the solar technologies innovative group, where some of the police took refuge.
there are 4 vignettes interspersed throughout the story.
midnight takes place in africa. michele and mike are researchers. they catalog ancient african burial rituals. they are invited to watch a ritual when something goes wrong. the recently deceased person is not accepted, and a spirit warns michele and mike that they are to bare witness to man's trial. after the pronouncement, the recently dead man comes back to life and starts attacking the living.
i almost stopped listening b/c this was such an unexpected departure from adrian's story, but as a glutton for punishment, i almost never give up on a story. plus, i wanted to find out how adrian's current predicament resolved itself.
the second vignette revolves around kevin whitten, one of adrian's friends. kevin and his team safely got the senator to his plane in the last book, and now they're headed to London, in hopes of eventually getting the senator back to the u.s.
guilt is told by abby's parents' perspectives. patty, chuck, and abby's brother decide to move to stig b/c they don't feel safe at the campus b/c of the fighting. what they find at stig is not what they expect.
tyrant is a vignette about sean, the leader of the high school group fighting adrian. we see how his group is surviving and dealing with the skirmishes with adrian.
overall, i enjoyed this story; however, i was not expecting the supernatural twist. yeah, it was kind of a downer, but i will listen to the next installment when it comes out, and then i will determine if i will continue further with the series.
"getting the series back on track!"
mike, tommy, pork chop, a fire hose, a hoard of zombies, and fire axes wielded with vampiric speed and strength.
when the last book ended, mike and his family were prisoners of the dimenci (sp?) group. bt and justin had received a vaccine for their zombie virus infection and seemed to be ok. tommy is no where to be seen. he is thought to be blown to bits when the dimenci group stormed their last location. mrs. denoe arrived at the secret compound with dennis. surprisingly, she is part of the dimenci group b/c of her late husband, who she murdered.
zf8 picks up after zf7's abrupt ending. i won't spoil any of the plot, but it does seem like the extra time between the stories has helped tufo get back on track. either that, or his writing is just so much better than most of the other z-writers out there.
what am i talking about? the dialogue. the dialogue between the characters is great, especially the bantering, and this is where tufo really shines!
most of the characters are given just the right amount of time throughout story; however, i would have liked to see where justin's head is after all he's been through, but with soo many characters, i guess it's hard to manage.
i liked the pacing of the story. it takes place over a couple of days and doesn't seem rushed. the action is intense and even with mike's enhanced vampiric abilities, he's always in a pinch. i'm glad tufo didn't drag out the whole being captured and being prisoners plot line.
overall, an enjoyable and entertaining addition to the series.
"entertaining collaboration!"
from mike's prospective, the story opens as he and trip are fleeing from trip's house in a van. mike and trip are on their way to ron's house in maine to head off eliza when mike swerves hard to miss a propane truck. in a flash, they find themselves walking down a desolate, wooded highway, jammed with the world's largest exodus of cars.
from jack walker's prospective, he's eating with his team when he notices his periphery close in, and in a flash, he finds himself standing on the same desolate highway mike and trip are on.
the story is told from both mike's and jack's perspectives, with each chapter flipping back and forth between the two. both mike and jack notice something is off, and their first experiences are with the other's nightmare. mike and trip discover a new type of threat, the nightrunners from jack's world, and jack runs into a hoard of zombies.
the pacing of the story is really good. there's a lot of action with downtime for the characters to reflect on their situation. it's exciting when jack and mike and trip eventually meet up. their meeting is timed well and doesn't seem contrived. they are a good match b/c they are similar in a few ways.
trip is definitely a fun and interesting character. he is zany, and his dialogue is funny. at first, i was worried b/c trip is soo out there that i thought his character would be overexposed, and i would tire of his outlandishness. but tufo is a genius in how he uses trip. i truly enjoyed his character in this book. trip shines in this story. i won't spoil anything, but there definitely seems that there's more to trip than meets the eye!
there are interesting implications of having both zombies and nightrunners hunting you, especially when zombie 3.0 shows up- 1.0 being shamblers, and 2.0 being runners.
together, mike and jack try to unveil where they are, how they got there, and possibly who brought them there. by the end of the story, the mystery deepens as they find bodies fused with the land and a new enemy to deal with, the whistlers. i won't spoil what they are, but they are just as horrific as zombies and nightrunners.
sean runnette as always does a fantastic job narrating the 3 characters.
overall, a very entertaining story.
note: i have listened to all of tufo's zombie fallout series, but i haven't listened to mike's other adventures. so, i don't think tufo has overstretched mike's character. i have not listened to the jack walker series, but i might give it a try now even though the reviews have been bad.
"good continuation"
after the first book ended so abruptly, i wanted to see where the story was heading so i downloaded book two. surprisingly, book two is 50% about adrian and 50% vignettes.
the vignettes are really good, especially the opening one, one mistake, the last stand of hall b. all i can say is wow! horror at its best! it's gory, sad, and extremely tragic. it's definitely an emotionally gripping story. that's all i'll say. i don't want to spoil it for you. ok...i'll say one more thing...it would win zombie short story of the year in my book!
putting a name to a face is a story about sabrina, a 40 year old nurse as the dead and those bitten turn into zombies at the hospital.
exodus tells abigail's story during the initial outbreak at the school. in the first book, adrian ran into abigail when he was cleaning the school of zombies. she's the one who decided to drive home.
jerusalem tells the story of kevin whitten, one of adrian's best friends. kevin works for a private military contractor and is part of a protective group for a senator, who is in jerusalem. this vignette is linked to one of adrian's journal entries, and through them, we get more of adrian's background in the military.
the chief tells the police chief's story after his father is bitten by a zombie at moore's gun store.
all of these vignettes add depth to adrian's story and provide some details of what else is going on outside the campus.
the publisher's summary mentions adrian meets gilbert so i'll mention him. he's an old green beret, and thankfully, he's not one of those hard charging, all guns blazing characters. that wouldn't match the story. gilbert is kind of crotchety, but he's wise and deliberate. he's also kind of a mystery, never revealing all of his cards. gilbert is a good addition to the story.
adrian also gets some additional company, but i won't say who. the additional company makes sense- it doesn't feel contrived.
once again the book ends; however, not as abruptly as book one. the book ends at a good place because it nicely sets up the next book.
overall, a good second book- no sophomore slump!
"northern exposure meets zombieland"
northern exposure meets zombieland? let me start with the northern exposure part. northern exposure was one of my favorite shows b/c it was odd and quirky with a great cast of characters, one of which was john corbett. he played a philosophical ex-convict who was a disc jockey and between songs, he'd comment on all kinds of things. his comments were funny and at times very insightful. anyway, adrian reminds me of john corbett's character on northern exposure. the narrator's voice also reminds me of john corbett's voice- easy and smooth to listen to.
i don't know if you've ever seen zombieland, but it is a pretty good zombie comedy. jessie eisenberg plays a geeky guy named columbus. he's survived by making rules, such as cardio (you have to be faster than the slowest person), double tap (always make sure you shot a zombie in the head), beware of bathrooms, etc... adrian also reminded me of columbus because like columbus, he started to come up with rules as he survived certain situations.
as the story opens, adrian begins journaling because he's lonely. he starts his journal, who he calls mr. journal, in september. as he opens up, we learn that the zombie outbreak started like 3 months earlier in june. adrian is a resdence advisor at a small but elite private school. basically, he works the night shift in a dorm watching over the students.
the story swings between time frames. adrian will describe what he has been presently doing and how he got to where he is. the present entries describe his activities scavenging and securing the campus. his other entries recount the initial outbreak and the choices he made.
there are a couple of extended vignettes that are told from the perspective of people that encountered adrian during the initial outbreak. one is phil, a gun store clerk, and the other is soccer mom, a mom who encountered adrian at a grocery story. both are really good stories.
the story is kind of slow, but that's ok. this is not an action-packed run and gun shot 'em type story. the zombies are shamblers with kind of a twist- they don't moan, which if you think about it has some scary implications, but you can listen about them when you download the book!
overall, this is a funny yet at times emotionally gripping story. i'd classify the humor as dry humor, and at times, guy humor.
"another enjoyable installment"
i have enjoyed the previous 3 slow burn books, and dead fire is another good episode. i call it an episode b/c the stories are so short. i'm glad they released a box set so others, who may not be hard core zombie aficionados, can see what all the excitement is about. but like i mentioned in an earlier review, these short stories / episodes are expensive! but to me, they're worth it!
the publisher's summary does a good job detailing where the story picks up. i can't say much without spoiling your listening experience so i'll say why you should pick up this book, either now or when the next box set comes out.
as we've found out, zed's smarter than we thought, and his philosophy degree is finally paying off! LOL anyway in previous books, zed has noticed an emergent behavior among the whites. in this episode, we finally get a look into how this has developed and who has started it! and an old enemy is back, and zed is out for blood!
what i like about these stories and this one in particular is that even though you can see where the plot may be heading, the author resolves the situation in an unexpected and unpredictable way, which keeps the story fresh.
overall, this is another action-packed episode of slow burn. the author does a good job pacing the story and keeping it fresh and interesting. this episode ends at can't wait for the next one to come out!
"much better than expected!"
the palpable tension in parts of the story.
there were several memorable moments, but i can't say without spoiling parts of the story. but i did find myself cheering for somebody unexpected. 'nuff said!
r.c. bray is the man! he can do all sorts of voices, from a regular joe to deep and gravely to a confident, young girl to a great canadian accent.
tenner definitely gets more developed, but i'd have to say amy. who is she? listen to the book to find out!
at first, i wasn't to sure about this story. i liked scott's character from book 1, but i wasn't sure if he could carry a story bby himself, without gus. also, i wasn't sure if a whole 12 hour story about hunting for a serial killer would be that interesting. so if you're wondering the same things, then let me put those worries to rest. this is another great story.
as the story opens, scott is traveling to hellifax in search of tenner, the serial killer who brutally tortured and killed his 2 friends and mistakenly left him for dead. there's one problem though- a blizzard. the snow is really piling up, and scott must find a suitable place to hole up before he and his suv get stuck.
the beginning is kind of slow. tenner lures somebody to their death. at first, i thought it was just another torture scene, but that person's death plays a pivotal role in the direction of the plot later in the book. throughout the story, parts of the story are told from tenner's point of view. these are like short vignettes, and i enjoyed them.
there's also another group introduced in the beginning. they call themselves the norsemen. they are a hardened group of men ordered to head east to find out what's going on and to look for supplies. like tenner, i wasn't to sure about them, but their story is woven nicely into the overall arch of the story.
i must say the author has once again done a good job of creating a lot of tension in certain parts of the story. i was actually holding my breath in parts, trying not to make to much noise as i listened. LOL no, i won't spoil your listening experience and tell you what was happening. but it does involve scott meeting a girl named amy at the most inopportune time!
once the story starts to pick up, it moves quickly to end. yes, the ending is a little sad but satisfying. the author nicely wraps up the major plot lines, and you don't get the feeling that the author rushed to finish things. i would say the pacing is excellent. at the end, there is a possibility of another book, but if not, the story definitely wrapped up in a satisfying way!
overall, i highly recommend this book! it could be read as a standalone book, but i really enjoyed it as the 3rd and final? book.
"destroyer is the right title!"
this is my favorite of the 3 books! wow! zed really loses his $hit and goes crazy! i really liked that the author finally got to the hospital. there's a lot of action, and zed really needs a dose of the ogre and the harpie to get through what he has to do! the hospital scenes are really good.
destroyer focuses on zed. murphy kinda takes a back seat for most of the story. a few new characters are added to the story. the casualty rate is high, and you never know who's going to survive, which is always a plus in my book. the hoard scenes are intense and well thought out. i like how nothing comes easy.
overall, a good continuation of the story!
"good continuation of the story"
the ending was pretty shocking! i definitely wasn't expecting that!
the narrator is still hyped up, still doing william shatner! lol
this is a good continuation of the overall story. the banter between zed and murphy is pretty entertaining.the plot progresses in a believable way, and the author manages the tension of the story well. i like how zed and murphy continue to experiment with their slow burn status. it's definitely an interesting plot device.
"better than expected"
regarding the narration, it grew on me. my first thought was william shatner. a lot of people kind of laugh at his overacting as captain kirk on star trek. to apply it to the narrator, i thought he was overacting.
i'm a zombie apocylapse junkie, and i'll listen to almost any zombie story so when audible recommended this book, i clicked on it to read the summary and listen to the sample. neither really caught my attention, but i had a few hours to burn so i decided to give it a try b/c i could always return it. plus at $10, it's pretty expensive for such a short story. however by the time i finished listening to it, i downloaded the next installment b/c i was intrigued by what would happen next.
the story takes place in austin, texas, and most of the action is centered around the university there. the author went to school there, and uses his knowledge of the area to build the story.
i can't say much without spoiling the plot, but what i can say is that the plot is unique in that it's a little bit different than what i've listened to lately, and different is usually good.
even though slow burn is a really short story at 3 and 1/2 hours, it packs a punch. a lot happens in that short time.
as the author states, this is the first book in a 6 part series. as an initial outbreak story, it's pretty good. it captures the confusion and fear of what's happening. there's a lot of action, but there are well-timed pauses to let the listener and characters catch their breath. the story ends at a good place, and i'm eagerly awaiting to see what happens next.
a little bit about me...at the moment, all of the t.v. shows i watch are either on hiatus or are over. so audio books are one of my main sources of entertainment. so, i'm always purchasing extra credits and buying books. i found slow burn worth the $10. i was thoroughly entertained by it. so if you're like me, then this is a good way to be entertained for a short time.
if you're new to the zombie genre or don't want to expend a credit on such a short story, put it in your wish list to come back to to see if an omnibus version is released in the future, or if it goes on sale. there are a lot of good zombie books, and this one is kind of expensive. if you're interested, then please check my reviews b/c i reviewed a bunch of 'em.

They say Captain Red Monkey had a key to a buried treasure chest, somewhere beyond Woot Cove, far away from the Isle of Misfit Electronics, and he guarded it with his life. They say he was there recruiting for helpers that night. Or settling a score. A fight broke out. It doesn't matter how it started. (Or does it?) Gunshots went off. Words were said. People were put on probation from the tavern. Cutlasses were drawn. Mugs were thrown. All we know for sure is at the end, Captain Red Monkey lay dying, unable to continue further.

After ranting about Miss Dior Cherie, she told me she was dying to buy L'or for herself. Intrigued I tried it and found it to be really interesting. It has a sweet French Musk to it, if that makes sense at all. I have gotten sooo many compliments on this little baby. Prepare to empty your pocket though because its over a hundred bucks.

All just concept. Anyone with any significant wealth and commercial risks these days would have already structured their assets in such a way that'll protect these eventualities.

Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?I am slightly divided on the whole thing.
Yes he is a cheat, now that the proof has been presented. This was always my problem = not seen the hard proof so judgement reserved. Now it is there. Should he be able to compete in sport again...........hmmmmmmmmm only if there is non financial gain for him from the sport. He should also have to have tests done every week for all forms of drugs. Am i disappointed, extremely so, as I was cheated out of State placings and selection for Australian Titles due to my training geared to this time and not State titles. (plus corruption and I'll pay for my sons expenses because we are moving over there. this rider had never beaten me in the trials or the titles. If he is not prepared to name names and provide evidence of the others, from the other teams and the corrupt UCI officials no! He should also be required to speak about his deceit to school kids and how the deceptive nature of drug abuse is no conciliation for doing things off your own back. What turned him to admit, well I think his son did. How could you live with yourself having your son or daughter defending you, when you knew that it was all a lie. I am a hard arsed person when it comes to drugs. Whether it be sport or personal use but I do believe in giving someone a second chance but with huge restrictions. Lastly, he should have to repay any gain from sueing for defamation on the subject of drug abuse. Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.

Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
Was not his son at all you could see by his body language and facial expressions that the story was a lie scripted probably to try and get people feeling sorry from him. He was 100% self serving coming clean. It was all about trying to rectify his image to his hardcore followers and maybe get back a few of the borderline people. While also planting the seed of getting back to competing. I dont believe he is a very good parent, how can you be when you are so obsessed with yourself. How can you be able to lie to your kids for 13 years....... @Sogood I know he will just file chapter 11 and it will all be in his GFs name or kids names by now and that is the worst part of all of it. He will get away with it and be allowed to live the good life for the rest of his life.

Not so much a cyclist...more of a sit down comedian
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?BNA Writeup: Lance Armstrong: I Deserve to Compete!
This was published just after the interview and is a much bigger issue than can be summed up in such a quick report, but here are a few items: - The second part was more "emotional" and less about details. Only a few tiny bits really - Strong feeling that Lance would not have admitted unless otherwise pressured - or if he could, would have kept it up. - Seemed to become emotional talking about loss of sponsorship - followed by being "kick out" of LiveStrong - though factual or straight forward about confession and betrayal of fans and the sport - Hard to believe words that there is remorse, it seems there is more sadness that "the dream is finally over" - Feels hard done by, lack of reality about the impact he has had (damage caused) and that he is owed... "deserve to compete". My thoughts following part one havn't changed that it is a partial confession and too many things are shielded from discussion, topics which I feel wont be discussed because of liability. Considering the confession interview was promoted as totally honest and no-topic-offlimites, this was not the case. -- There remain a lot of open questions and I will step back and give this topic a break though still keep an interest in developments such as implications and legal action against Armstrong. If he pays his dues then he deserves a second chance. Perhaps the interview really is the first step in his "process" and I hope that he can make it up.

Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
While there's nothin like a good witch burnin', I'd much rather see him give back his ill-gotten gains The $150 m that cycling gave him. If he doesn't want to give it to the sponsors and other riders he dudded, maybe he could give it to a real charity. Sorry, Livestrong doesn't rate. Other very deserving riders like Anna Meares and the UK's Nicole Cook who found sponsorship impossible to raise in the wake of the Armstrong era. That's the real loss of sponsorship that should worry us - not which sponsors have dumped Armstrong. Redemption is possible, but I'm afraid not likely. Yeah, he wants to race again (Hawaii Iron Man etc.,.) - but not that badly. WombatK
Somebody has to do something, and it's just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us -Jerry Garcia
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?Question. I thought I had heard about there being evidence, but I hadn't thought that it had come out publicly, so that everyone could see. I had heard about them having evidence, and then they stripped him of his medals. Is there a report about this release of evidence?
"Try not. Do...or do not. There is no try." -Yoda-
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
The evidence is in USADA reasoned decision. I am sure if you google it you will find it. It is 1000pages so you need a bit of spare time.
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?... instead of blaming LS for cheating, perhaps we should blame the system for allowing this to occur for each of the 7 years he won tdf??
my 20 cents worth... krank
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?Surely 'as well as' rather than 'instead of'
Not so much a cyclist...more of a sit down comedian
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
+1. I can't believe how many Armstrong apologists still exist. It's mind boggling. After all, why didn't Armstrong spill the beans on the UCI's role in helping him beat the doping tests?
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?yes, i agree "as well" in lieu of "instead of".
sorry - my mistake. krank
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?Thanks for that insight/document. I can now say that he is a cheater and does deserve to be banned. Not just for the fact that he did dope, but lied about it, and aggressively went after anyone who did call him a cheater. It pains me to admit that I admired him during his time in the light. But am glad that he has been brought to justice. One thing that I hope is that Oprah didn't pay him for his confession. He doesn't deserve to make another dollar in any way attributed to this travesty.
"Try not. Do...or do not. There is no try." -Yoda-
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?Another one sees the light And now you see the evidence, here are some of the denials:

Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
That is the big push behind the actions of WADA, USADA, Walsh, heaps of others. Despite Lances bleatings over years about a witch hunt, those have been dogged in chasing whoever with a clear purpose of purging the sport of the enablers that are still in there, "enabling". And high on the target list is the Union Cycliste Internationale (world peak biody, aka UCI). So yes, Lance is copping a lot of flack. But the battle being fought is looking a lot wider. And there is a sense of rightness in taking apart the carefully constructed falacy of a legend owned by a thoroughly nasty, selfish, vindictive man. Plus it sends a strong message to others contemplating following in his footsteps that the downside can be extremely unpleasant. The more extreme the better. says it all.

Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
It won't be the only secret that gets left behind in human history. Secret deals and wild speculations are everywhere in this society. Do we need to know every one of them? I'd say it's impossible to know the truth to everything. Focus on the big picture and fix the problems and move on. If information is so significantly lacking, then just bulldoze it and move forward. Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?Great article by Paul Kimmage highlighting the contrast in how two TDF cheats have been treated, Landis and Armstrong.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/jan/19/lance-armstrong-cycling The saddest story I've ever heard about sport was told to me in November 2010 by a man who cheated to win the Tour de France. We were sitting not in the plush surrounds of a five-star hotel in Texas, but in a sparsely furnished cabin in the San Jacinto mountains. Floyd Landis's old racing bike was standing just inside the doorway; his underwear was drying on a clotheshorse; the cupboards were bare, the carpet was worn; it had been a while since President Bush had called. Darkness was falling on the mountain. Five hours had passed since he had begun telling his story and had covered most of the bases: his boyhood as a Mennonite, his doping apprenticeship with Lance Armstrong, his Tour de France win in July 2006 and the 12 months he spent lying after he tested positive. We have now reached the moment he knew the lying would have to stop. It's 20 September 2007. He has just set off on a training ride from his home in San Diego when he receives a call from his lawyer, Maurice Suh. After a costly and protracted legal battle with the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the ruling on his positive test is about to be announced. "We should know in the next hour," the lawyer says. Landis returns home immediately and waits in the garage. His wife, Amber, is sitting inside but he needs to be alone. The case has placed a desperate strain on their marriage. Every penny of their savings is riding on this call. Win, and the good times roll again. Lose, and they face ruin. Twenty minutes pass before the lawyer delivers the verdict. "We lost," he says. Amber cries when she hears the news but Floyd burns with anger. He races upstairs to the living room and takes the most coveted prize in cycling – a beautiful porcelain bowl presented to the winner of Tour de France – from a cabinet. Amber knows what he's thinking and follows him up the stairs but he has already raised it over his head when she comes through the door. "No Floyd!" she pleads. "It's all we have." He smashes it to the floor. "I had walked by that thing a hundred times [that year], and every single time I wanted to smash it," Landis explained. "It had made me into something that I wasn't. It represented a turning point in my life where I had to lie." Lance Armstrong reached that turning point in 1999 but he's not living in a shed in the San Jacinto mountains, and he hasn't broken any porcelain yet. For the first 39 seconds of his interview with Oprah Winfrey, he was utterly convincing …
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?Thanks. That really says it all. Just in case anybody has a shred of pity left for this man.
Not so much a cyclist...more of a sit down comedian
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?Every one who cheats will get caught at some stage it's just a matter of time, shame it took so long!
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
No they wont, a lot of people got through and if you read up on cycling history of doping, some of the legends are involved however it is so far in the past. But yes, it is a shame when it takes so long, this makes it hard for everyone, so one of the things that need to be improved, faster decisions in doping cases.

Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?
They've switched from deny to justify, but it seems they really just can't stomach the reality that their long-time hero is by his own admission a cheat, liar, and bully. Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Holy showtime Batman - Lance to admit doping?LA should burn for what he did.
We all enter events & participate, so we all have the opportunity to cheat or work outside the rules for our own benefit. Even if it just regarded as a witch hunt & hundreds of others 'get away with it', this needs to cut deep to put the fear of doubt into others in the future. After all if people dont follow the rules, whats the point in doing anything really? You can just take what you want or say what you like. -----------------------

Anasarca Definition By definition, Anasarca is the gross and generalized edema of the body tissues with profound subcutaneous swelling. [1] So, Let's see what is edema? Edema is the bloating up of any body part due to accumulation of excess fluid in the body tissue. When this edema is confined to a particular part, say in a twisted ankle, it's called localized edema. When this bloating involves the whole body and appears like an inflated balloon , it is known as Anasarca which is derived from the Greek phrase ' anà ' meaning 'through' and 'sarx' meaning 'flesh '.[2] Pathophysiology of Anasarca As Anasarca is the gradual progression of the swelling, […]
Still's Disease
by Dr. Ganesh on 11. Jun, 2014 in Diseases and Conditions
What is Still's Disease? Still's disease, also known as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, is a form of arthritis named after Sir George F. Still, an English physician [1]. It occurs more commonly in children, hence the name systemic 'juvenile' idiopathic arthritis. Adults can also be affected, although much rarely than in children. In addition, women are more at risk of developing the disease than men. According to statistics, less than 1 out of 100,000 people are affected by Still's disease each year [2]. The cause of this disease is still unknown. There are theories, however, that say Still's disease may be caused by a microbial infection. Another theory proposes that […]
Wilson's Disease
by Dr. Ganesh on 09. Jun, 2014 in Diseases and Conditions
What is Wilson's Disease? First described by British neurologist, Dr. Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson in 1912, this refers to the rare genetic condition wherein there is an excessive accumulation of copper in the body. [1] Another term that is used for Wilson's disease is hepatolenticular degeneration. [2] A patient with this condition has the inability of the liver to excrete copper to bile. After the accumulation of copper in the liver, damage is caused to the organ until such time that the liver releases the bile to the bloodstream. As a result, it will carry copper to the other parts of the body leading to copper build up in brain, kidney, […]
Flesh Eating Disease (Necrotizing Fasciitis)
by Dr. Ganesh on 10. Sep, 2013 in Diseases and Conditions
Flesh Eating Disease Misnomer Flesh eating disease is a misnomer because the bacteria that cause this condition do not really consume tissues. The bacteria are responsible for the damage of muscle and toxins by releasing the toxins, which are much like streptococcal pyogenic exotoxins. These pyogenes are responsible for manufacturing exotoxin identified as super antigen. The toxin can activate T-cells that are non-specific, which can lead to overload of cytokines and extreme systemic diseases.
