Some towns in America have bowling and basketball leagues to keep them happy in the winter.
In Mammoth, we ski.
The Village Championships return to Mammoth Mountain Ski Area for the 35th year this Tuesday, a noontime tradition on the ski hill and a Happy Hour tradition in pubs and watering holes all over town.
While it's a whole snowpile full of fun for almost everybody, "some people take this very seriously," said Drew Kemple of the Race Department.
A travesty of justice?
The California Third Appellate District Court sure didn't think so.
The three-member panel last week unanimously upheld a $30 million judgment against the Town of Mammoth Lakes in the Hot Creek Aviation litigation.
It wasn't even close.
Thus ends the litigation in a dispute that began in 1997. Now begin the myriad questions facing the Town and what it's going to do about them.
Our weekly roundup of what's what and who's who:
That was a bad week last week for the satellite TV customers, reception dishes filled with snow and signals blocked by snow-laden trees. "Not that was a big sports weekend or anything," sighed the go-go John Urdi …
An attempt to create a viable trout hatchery at Conway Ranch got hit with a big blow at the beginning of the new year, when icy cold killed off 8,000 of the ranch's rainbow trout, as well as all the fish being raised for the kids' trout pond.
"The Fish and Wildlife Service was devastated by the news," said Dan Lyster, Mono County's development director.
The trout were being raised at Conway under an agreement with the service, whose state trout stocking program has been heavily impacted by budget cuts and other problems in recent years.
Former Mammoth Lakes Police Department Sergeant Eric Hugelman won a decisive judgment against the Town last week.
Hearing Officer Roberto Morales ruled that Hugelman's termination a year and a half ago was unjustified, and ruled that he should be reinstated.
Morales ruled that Hugelman should have been suspended for three weeks, at most.
Now the question is whether Hugelman will, in fact, rejoin the force, and how much back pay he is entitled to.
The Town Council took up the matter in closed session after Wednesday night's regular meeting, but no decision came out of the session.
1996-1999: Tracy Fuller – Town Council appointed Fuller on Nov. 11, 1996 and accepted her resignation on 12/1/99.
1999-2003: Stephen Julian – Town Council approved Julian's agreement as an interim Town manager on Dec. 15, 1999. On June 21, 2000, the council approved Julian's agreement as the Town manager.
It was as bad as communications can get.
In the complicated Hot Creek predicament that turned into the $30 million loss for the town, the California Third Appellate District Court consistently hammered the Town and the Federal Aviation Administration for poor communications.
The three-member panel cited one instance for special consideration.
Early on in the process, after the Mammoth Lakes Town Council agreed on the development project, the FAA sent (by fax) a number of concerns to Bill Manning, the airport manager.
Manning's response was to simply not respond.
"We were out of our league."
So said former Mammoth Lakes Town council member Kathy Cage, after learning the Town lost its appeal of the airport/Hot Creek decision last week.
"We didn't have the expertise we needed to negotiate such high level agreements," she said.
Cage's assessment could all too easily be applied to far more than just the most recent airport embroilment.
The appeals court's Dec. 30 decision that found the Town on the wrong side of a $30 million lawsuit is only the latest in a series of high-profile legal snafus.
The bomb dropped on Mammoth Lakes' incoming Town Attorney as soon as he set foot in the door.
Andrew Morris, who was invited to town last week for a meet-and-greet with the town staff and others, was supposed to have a relaxed couple of days.
Instead, on the day he arrived, the Hot Creek decision came crashing down on the town from the California Appellate Court, sending Morris and everyone else scrambling.
"I took office the day the bomb fell, yeah," Morris said.
The much-debated, proposed subdivision in Lower Rock Creek Canyon was approved by the Mono County Board of Supervisors Dec. 21, but only after some extensive changes to the plan.
The subdivision, proposed by longtime Eastern Sierra developer John Hooper, is located at the old Paradise Restaurant and Resort site.
The 29-acre project, with proposed market-rate homes that will mostly replace the old rental cabins there, has been relatively controversial.
When things get all gnarly, you'd think the cops would get all grumpy.
Not so, according to Police Chief Dan Watson, a former officer with Los Angeles Police Department. Instead, they have a ball.
"I've worked some really busy nights in L.A.," Watson said.
"On a really busy night, with all kinds of crime, with officers going from one call to another. That's a fun night. It's what we're here for.
"We don't have that kind of activity here in Mammoth. But what I sensed on the radio, everybody was out there.
It had a little bit of the feeling of a come to Jesus meeting, when people of like mind come together to praise their gods.
In this case, it was the gods of rock climbing. And one of the disciples, Peter Croft, gave a slide show and riveting sermon on various rock routes in the Eastern Sierra.
Croft inaugurated the new and already popular Adventure Slide Show Series started by Jim Barnes, Tuesday night, Jan. 4, at the Snowcreek Athletic Club.
After reading the book, Too Many Tamales, the third grade students in Mammoth Elementary School's Dual Immersion classes had their annual Tamale Fest on Dec. 9.
Fifty-eight hardworking chefs almost doubled last year's number by making a whopping 392 chicken, pork and chile-cheese tamales!
As usual, none of this would have been possible without the support of our dedicated parents.
Bullying in school can make some children's lives so miserable, they don't want to even get up in morning, let alone go to school to learn.
It can lead to depression and other serious mental health problems, and even, as a recent string of high-profile suicides across the country, show, the death of young people.
Mammoth Unified School District is hoping to once again step up its anti-bullying efforts, beginning next week with a series of films shown at all the district's campuses.
The films will be shown: • Jan. 10 from 6-7 p.m. at Mammoth Elementary School
St. Johann, Austria (Jan. 7) American Ski Cross athlete John Teller, of Mammoth Lakes, CA won the first Ski Cross World Cup of 2011 and the first World Cup Ski Cross ever for an American. Teller, who was third place in the second World Cup of the season in December, won every heat on his way to victory under the lights in St. Johann, Austria. "I can't believe it," said Teller, "I owned every heat."

System76 has already been asked to drop NVIDIA, but they still only sell NVIDIA discrete cards instead of ATI/AMD:
Phoronix: Doing More For An Open NVIDIA
Following the open letter to NVIDIA at OpenTheBlob.com that takes aim at NVIDIA's lack of a reliable open-source driver, now out is a letter geared for NVIDIA's board partners (ASUS, Dell, BFG Tech, etc). This happens to be based off of a strategy I discussed before for frustrated ATI customers prior to the new driver code-base...

It's not that they need to drop NVidia. Right at the moment, NVidia's the only company with credible devices for performance work under OpenGL under Linux. Shortly, AMD will be a credible resource for that- when it is, then they can drop 'em.
It doesn't do any good to ask them to cut their nose off to spite their face.
i used the form on the ASUS site, got a sort of generic answer that my request way forwarded to the proper person
but Gainward just said " we will update your suggestion to NVIDIA about Linux drivers."
I have just received an answer from ASUS support saying that their corporate policy is not supporting Linux on their notebooks and that they will thus not be able to help with the issue
Well, it looks rather strange for me, too, but that is what they replied:
...which stands for:Здравствуйте!
Спасибо за обращение в службу технической поддержки ASUS.
Мы не поддерживаем установку Linux на всех наших ноутбуках - такова корпоративная политика.
Поэтому, боюсь, мы Вам не сможем помочь.
С уважением,
ASUS, Служба технической поддержки
Thank you for your inquiry to ASUS technical support.
We do not support installing Linux on all our laptops - that is the corporate policy.
So, I am afraid that we will not be able to help you.
ASUS technical support
Which is very whack, considering that they have the eeePC and they're not changing that it supports Linux anytime soon. Seems to me that the right hand doesn't know what the left one's doing.
If I wanted to be a smartarse, I'd respond back with "what is running on the eeePC, then?" but it'd be a waste of time, I suspect.
Well, if we approach it formally, they do not claim that they do not support Linux on any of their laptops. Rather, they do not support it on all. Anyways, this is a strange point for them to make. Do they really believe in Windows' superiority that much?
No. it would have to do more with the added costs of supporting more then one OS, let alone the many distro's of linux, each with their own quirks. Trying to support all of them would be a financial and logistical nightmare as issues seen on one distro is not present on another.

Good stuff, thx
Thank you Tony. Truly appreciate the feedback and kind words. Bowl season will be here soon. Cant wait.
Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.......... 13) Mike Redmond got hired to manage the Marlins a week or two ago; he never managed above A ball. Wonder if he knew he was still going to be managing a minor league team next season, just one that plays in a great stadium against big league teams. Poor guy is going to have a long summer. 12) When it comes to contract obligations for 2014 and beyond, Marlins have $0 on the books, as in, zero. Think about the Bronx Bombers owing Alex Rodriguez $114M over the next five years. Who would you rather be? 11) If they ever decide to contract franchises, Marlins are team they need to cut. Put Mr Loria out of business, move the A's to Miami and two problems would be solved. That would be crazy sick since Im living here in Florida now. 10) ESPN.com reports that players traded from Miami to Toronto should wind up paying roughly 14% more taxes on the money they earn in home games, roughly 45% of their salary. No decent free agent will sign with Miami anymore unless they get a no-trade clause. 9) Tigers signed Torii Hunter for two years; you have an 80+year old owner, a 69-year old manager and Hunter just doesn't seem that old. In other words, the future is now in Detroit. 8) Spring training starts earlier next year because of the goofy World Baseball Classic; can't wait to see which pitchers get hurt during the regular season because they pitched in this meaningless exhibition that is designed to "grow the game", a euphemism for "put more money in the pockets of greedy MLB owners". Braves' first spring training game is a ridiculously early February 22. 7) I'm thinking the site of the Final Four should host a doubleheader to tip off every college hoop season in mid-November. This week's event in Atlanta was excellent; do it every year, wherever the Final Four is being held, just have different teams every year. 6) Gonzaga looked really sharp Monday night; trick is to maintain that for the next 4.5 months. Teams like West Virginia and Butler, who looked awful this week, will use losing badly as a learning tool and will gradually improve as the season goes on. 5) If you watch Celtic games on NESN, you hear analyst Tommy Heinsohn, who is so bad he makes Hawk Harrelson sound like Vin Scully. Not sure how they keep putting him on the air. 4) Over last two games, Alabama's football team didn't force a turnover (-5), while allowing opponents to convert 21-38 3rd down plays. Hard to beat good teams like that, even if you're better than they are. 3) Mike Brown's salary for this year (for not working) is $4.5M; Mike D'Antoni will make $4M, but combined its still less than if the Lakers had hired Jeannie Buss' boyfriend (Phil Jackson), who would've commanded a $12M/year salary. 2) It bears repeating that Brown got fired after five games, during which time Nash-Bryant-Gasol-Howard were on court together for a combined total of 45:00, less than one game. How do you fire a guy that fast? Brown gets fired, but assistant Eddie Jordan, who got hired to teach the Lakers the Princeton offense which helped cause this whole debacle, he gets to stay. Whats up with that? 1) First a sex scandal in the US Army, now the CEO of Waffle House is in hot water because he can't keep his pants on. What the hell's going on out there?
Shameless you say? or or maybe even... ???
Louisville could very well be the worst 9-1 team ever. I mean let's face it. At the beginning of the season this 8 team league could be one of the more sorriest in all of the majors, but Cincinnati and Rutgers are keeping up what little respectability this conference has left until we get a new division next season moving in. One thing we can say is that they keep things interesting even against the least formidable opponents. 9/22 28-21 @ 2-8 FIU 9/29 21-17 @ 0-10 So Miss 10/20 27-25 hosting USF 11/10 losing 45-26 @ 5-5 Syracuse No wonder they deserve no better than a Belk Bowl bert. Say that 6 times fast. Anyone notice Fresno St won in CBB 39-30 over Cal Riverside last night? Don't the Bulldogs usually reach that at halftime of their CFB games? Was that me in Piscataway by the 50 yard line jumping up and down receiving a gift from up above when -17.5 seemed all but stoinked Nick Bakay style? Seriously? When did I miss the email? Of course everyone hyped about West Virginia in their first season playing the likes of the Big 12. Sure helps to schedule the usual cupcakes before conference play speaking of the likes of Marshall, James Madison and Maryland. Heck, they only beat Baylor, who might I add could still put up points by a final count of 70-63 CBB like scorefest post RGIII.
This is more Shameless Although my dear gook friend above in your picture Greek is now living in Vietnam and getting married. So I may have to take a long ass trip out there for the wedding.
Friday's six-pack -- Purdue was up 75-69 with 0:40 left, but an awful flagrant foul call let Villanova tie score, and Wildcats beat Purdue 89-81 in OT in NYC. -- Knicks were down 12 with 7:00 left, rallied to beat Spurs 104-100 in a high-level NBA game. New York is now 6-0. -- Drexel lost 86-84 in OT to Illinois State, second loss already for Dragon team that is supposed to be the best team in the CAA. Hmmm -- Providence only has six scholarship players; could make for long year. Friars were gutty, but lost 77-75 to UMass in Puerto Rico. -- Rough day for the SEC: Murray State was up 45-19 at half at Auburn, won by 20. Southern Miss beat Georgia in OT. Not good. -- Gardner-Webb beat DePaul 71-59; Blue Demons play in the Big East. Gardner-Webb, well, they don't; they're an Atlantic Sun also-ran.
Almost time for some Emmy on Shameless
Forgot to post my college football pick last night and of course I mention it cause it was a winner. But hopefully some jumped on North Carolina for a pretty easy win. Friday's List of 13: Things I'm looking for this weekend....... 13) Andrew Luck's first genuinely big game as Colts' QB, in Foxboro. When schedule came out last spring, no one thought this would be a big game anymore, but it is. 12) Kansas State's last road game is at Baylor; win there, then beat Texas and its off to play for a national championship. 11) Chargers had a 24-0 halftime lead first time they played the Broncos; they lost 35-24. This is Norv Turner's last stand coaching San Diego- they won't make playoffs if they lose here. Broncos covered their last five games as a favorite. 10) Are there any polls that recognize Ohio State, even though they're on probation? If there are, Buckeyes have shot at a mythical national title. This is very tough game for them, at Wisconsin. 9) Jets and Brian Schottenheimer parted ways after last season; now they meet up again, with Mark Sanchez in a funk, having been blanked by his college coach last week. Now he faces his old coordinator. Rams are 3-0 in games where spread is 3 or less points. 8) Jim Mora Jr gets his first shot at crosstown rival USC; you get idea the gap between Bruins-Trojans is getting smaller, but until UCLA beats them couple times, LA is still the Trojans' town. 7) Red Sox are right now worst team in AL East, by far; supposedly they tried to get in on the Marlins' fire sale, but didn't get a deal done. When are they going to make moves, and what will they be? Would make sense if they panicked and threw a pile of cash at free agent OF Josh Hamilton. Not sure it would work out well, but it would quiet people. 6) Oakland Raiders gave up 42-55 points last two weeks, now Drew Brees and the Saints come to town; good luck there. New Orleans gets back to .500 with win here. 5) Vanderbilt is favored over Tennessee for third time in last five years, but they're 1-13 in last 14 series games. Much like Norv Turner in Denver, this could be Derek Dooley's last stand with the Vols. 4) Clippers beat Miami Wednesday, host the Bulls Saturday and visit San Antonio Monday; tough stretch of games. How is it as soon as Grant Hill leaves Phoenix, he's out hurt again? What is it about the Suns' trainers that kept him healthy those years in the desert? In five years with Phoenix, Hill played in 91.7% (362 of 392) Suns' games; he hasn't played in any of the Clippers' eight games this year. In six years in Orlando, the six years before Phoenix, he played in 32.0% (131-410) of Magic's games. Suns' trainers must be pretty good. 3) Ravens at Steelers is always a big game, with Roethlisberger out this week, tough game for Steelers to win. Whats up with Baltimore running a fake FG last week, when they led 41-17 late in third quarter? 2) This Saturday used to be Rivalry Saturday in college football, the best day of the whole year, including New Year's Day; the BCS nonsense and the expansion of the season finished all that, to point where half the SEC is playing I-AA teams this week. Seriously; 20 years ago, this week was the end of the regular season in college ball, except for 10-12 rivalry games Thanksgiving weekend. 1) Alex Smith is expected to play Monday night; not so sure about Jay Cutler. Bears' two losses this year are at night; they haven't beaten 49ers in Candlestick since 1985.

Officials at Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Museum apparently agree with The Beatles, saying silkscreens of the iconic Chinese communist leader won't be on display when a traveling exhibit of Warhol's works opens in Shanghai on April 28.
"We always knew the Maos would be up for question based on the political climate," museum director Eric Shiner told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ( http://bit.ly/11qNuqU) for a story Friday. "I didn't want politics to enter the equation such that we were putting the entire exhibition in jeopardy because we want to share Warhol's work with people in China."
Shiner denied that the decision to nix the Mao Zedong images amounted to "censorship," despite reports in the New York Times and other outlets that China's Ministry of Culture objected to the images. Shiner said he made the decision not to include the images, not Chinese officials.
Similar silkscreens, including those of Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy, will be among 300 items that also include paintings, photos, drawings, installations and sculptures in the largest display of Warhol's work in Asia, and the first Warhol exhibit to visit China.
Shiner told the newspaper that five Mao silkscreens were shown when the exhibit was in Hong Kong, and four will be displayed in Tokyo when the exhibit moves there next year.
BNY Mellon is financially supporting the tour, which drew 40,000 people a month when it first opened in Singapore from March to October, according to BNY Mellon spokesman Ronald Gruendl. The objects drew another 100,000 spectators while on display in Hong Kong from Dec. 31 through March, Gruendl said.
He would not comment on the decision to exclude the Mao images in China.

A Gift for You
It is impossible to tell you how much joy and contentment you have brought into my life. Truly, you have no idea.
For some time I have been trying to find a way to give every one of you a gift. Not just a gift of words, but something real you can hold in your hand, keep, and I hope treasure because ultimately you will take this gift and make of it what you will.
It is a small DIY project on your end. You know I'm not clever in the DIY department, but this one is a breeze.
Here is what you will need:
1.) One pretty notebook, may I suggest Moleskine. (All the better if your notebook has a ribbon marker.)
2.) Gold Ink (or a marker with gold ink) to write one word on the cover.
3.) A pen you will love to use every day.
I realize you will not have the time to rush out to find your notebook in the next few days. That's of no importance. If you have it for the New Year that would be perfect.
Tomorrow, on Christmas Eve, I will explain your gift in full.
Also, in the next few days I'll announce the winner of the Kusmi Tea giveaway. If you haven't told me you would like to be part of the drawing, now's the time.
After tomorrow, I'm taking a short hiatus en famille. Andrea and Will are playing in Paris today so I have free time. I shall now write your Christmas gift post which you may "open" on Christmas eve.
I wish you joy, love, peace and happiness in all the ways you wish.

- Bay Area, California to lose big if federal sequester cuts hit this week
From college dorm rooms to busy airport runways to South Bay senior centers to East Bay preschools, it seems that nearly everybody in the Bay Area fears they'll be on the losing end of the looming federal sequester cuts.
On Friday, the federal government is set to slash $85 billion, including hundreds of millions of dollars in grants to California, to help balance the U.S. budget. After failing for 18 months to reach a deal to avert the cuts, President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats and Republicans will meet again Friday in hopes of finding a solution.
Many conservatives doubt the cuts will have any real impact. They say the White House's frightening scenarios are designed to put pressure on politicians to raise taxes. But if no deal is reached, administration officials contend, the cuts will force many Bay Area programs that receive federal funding to trim services by 5 to 10 percent over the coming months, except for a few exempted services such as Medicare.
"They're playing with a deck of cards, and it's everybody's lives at stake," said Chabot College student Jeramie Brown, whose dreams to enter a college work-study program would dim under the sequester cuts.
No one knows yet exactly who will bear the brunt of the cuts because the reductions will take weeks to reach local programs, biding politicians time to reach a compromise. But the Bay Area is bracing for the worst.
The seniors
For California's seniors, the sequester means $5.4 million in cuts to a popular nutritional lunch program, in which seniors on fixed incomes can socialize and receive free healthy meals at community centers.
"I hope the president understands we need this place," said Gloria Peña, 83, a retired Apple employee who had just finished a chicken alfredo lunch at the Eastside Neighborhood Center in San Jose's Alum Rock neighborhood. "We have no other place to go."
Rita Mora, 70, another San Jose resident who eats free meals at the center, said many of the seniors there take home what they can't eat.
"The nutritional program means a lot to me. I'm on a budget, as we all are," Mora said, adding that being able to socialize at lunch is the best part of many seniors' days. "They need places like this to come and feel like they're really worth something."
The airports
At San Francisco International Airport, the major hub's 26 air traffic controllers -- who are federal employees -- are preparing for one furlough day every two weeks.
"We're going to be probably on position longer, since we won't have as many people up on the tower," said Lisa Stephenson, 35, who works an already-stressful job guiding air traffic at the Bay Area's busiest airport. And "it's basically going to be a pay cut for us."
The number of flights in an out of SFO would drop from up to 120 an hour to 60 or 80, the controller's union said. Similar reductions are planned for the less-busy Mineta San Jose and Oakland international airports and regional air traffic centers, which will lead to delays and cancellations for passengers, officials warn.
The kids
In Richmond, mother Micaela Ramos worries about the sequester cuts for a different reason: About 8,200 kids in California, including 200 in Contra Costa County, would be kicked out of the Head Start program, which provides families with subsidized preschool. Ramos drops off her daughter at the local Head Start center every morning so she can work as a caretaker and train to become a clerical assistant.
"It makes me so sad," said Ramos, 45. "Every time the government wants to cut money, it's always in education."
Denisse Higuera, 32, a Bay Point mom, doesn't know how to tell her 3-year-old son that he might not be able to go see the teacher who taught him to speak English.
"If the people in the government were the poor people, how would they survive without this program?" said Reyna Flores, 34, a fellow housekeeper with a son in Head Start who noted that without the program, her son will be put on a path toward going to work at too young an age instead of getting an education.
The politics
Skeptics say the cuts won't be as severe as the White House has laid out. They say they're confident that government officials will find less-damaging ways to reduce spending. Republicans argue that it's time to pare down the massive national deficit by simply spending less.
But that argument doesn't fly too far in the liberal Bay Area, where affected residents just want their services intact.
At the Eastside Neighborhood Center, Peña, who recently underwent heart surgery, joked of staging a rally to get the president's attention. Ramos said maybe she'd write to members of Congress or collect petition signatures.
The students
Brown, at Chabot College in Hayward, said he might consider going to school in another state that's cheaper to live in. His current plan is to transfer to San Francisco State next year, but he's worried he'll be denied a work-study job there because the program is slated to cut slots for 3,690 students in California, while another 9,600 students could be rejected for federal financial aid.
"The cuts that they plan to do are going to hurt us in the long run. They should just come to an agreement," said Brown, a 32-year-old Walnut Creek resident, who got a boost for himself and his 6-year-old son by scoring a work-study job on campus last year. "Especially since now the economy is slowly getting back on its feet, it doesn't make sense for them to knock it back down again."

The Wolfpack Hustle
Now a semi-licensed three-event road-race series that stretches over the better part of a year, The Wolfpack Hustle, which began as a simple weekly night ride, is becoming something of a Los Angeles institution. The 2013 trifecta will wrap this Saturday with the 6th Street Drag Race, but the biggest draw tends to be the annual kickoff event: the Marathon Crash Race. (The middle event is the Civic Center Criterium, held June 23 this year.)This gallery gives you an overview of the Marathon Crash Race's four-year history, beginning here with the 2013 starting area and a portion of the estimated 4,000 racers who pedaled the L.A. Marathon course's 26.2 miles earlier this spring. (Don't worry -- they roll through in the wee hours of the morning, well before the trotters arrive.)

The accents on the bedding are yellow not a tan color (like it appears to be in the picture). Even the picture on the outside of the packaging it is tan not yellow. I can still use it in the room I was planning on using it in. Over all the quality seems to be average but for the price I am very pleased with my purchase.
As usual, full size bedding does not fit full size beds. Exchanging for Queen size, which will be a tad large.....
For the price, this was a good set that we bought to use for a few years in a teenagers room. It came with all the essentials - though we are using sheets purchased separately as we liked those better. It is a nice design - and as other reviewers noted it is a little more yellow colored than tan, but overall it is nice looking (yellow isn't too bright). Good fit for a teenager room without being boring.
Sheets were soft but very thin. I guess I got what inlaid for with 80 thread count. I'll but a higher thread count next time.
I read many of the reviews on this set and all were right in my opinion about the colors - yellow, gray, white and black. Sheets are white. I washed all before putting the set on the bed. Everything held up first washing. The quality of this product is fair although I thought very decent for the price. The comforter is like other reviewers mentioned; light - good for spring, summer, fall. The fabric on the comforter is like inexpensive sheets but it is really ok. There were quite a few threads that needed trimming (carefully as one could cause pulling or a hole). The colors were precisely what I wanted for my color scheme and so this works for me. Really, it is worth the price as this whole set was very inexpensive comparatively. The sheets will likely not hold up for very long. They are quite thin. But, again, lots of stuff for the $$.
The colors on the picture do not match the colors on the bedspread at all The sheets and comforter are made of thin poor quality material, and the elastic on the fitted sheet isn't strong enough to hold it on through the night. If you are putting this in a guest room for looks, it would work, but as an everyday bed ensemble it was a waste of money
Oh my goodness. We got out teen son a king bed, and he picked this out. It was nearly ***, so I didn't think we were buying something particularly cheap. The fitted sheet has a thin elastic band that attempts to hold it on. We had to re-make his bed every time he got up. Each morning, all the corners would have come up, and he was sleeping on the mattress cover. The comforter is two thin layers of fabric with some sort of batting between them, but they are held together by tacks (small sections of sewing). It's very unstable. The whole thing is so cheap and not worth ***. I gave the sheets to my daughter to use for a rag rug she was making.
This was perfect and I have had no issues as I have now owned it for over 6 months. I have washed it many times and the colors have not faded. I read the reviews first and prefer the pale yellow color. It brightens our room. It's also thinner as the reviews stated so it's not too heavy. It's been great all year round. I highly recommend it for gender neutral colors that will brighten your room!
Item look of good quality online. I have not received shipment yet
The colors arent exact to the picture. The 'tan' is more a lovely pastel canary yellow. Its not too gaudy though. I orders the queen size set, and was concerned it wouldnt fit because I have a thick mattress, but it fits perfectly with a bit extra room! The wholoe set is very soft, which I was not expecting for the price I paid. Overall, I'm beyond happy with my purchase and I would certainly recommend this product!

Why isn't FreeBSD included?
Phoronix: DragonflyBSD 3.0 vs. Debian GNU/kFreeBSD Wheezy
Continuing from the theme of the tests a few days back benchmarking Wheezy: Debian GNU/kFreeBSD vs. Debian GNU/Linux, here are some new numbers. Here's some brief numbers concerning Debian GNU/kFreeBSD versus DragonflyBSD 3.0.2...
Why isn't FreeBSD included?
It could be interesting to mix linux, freebsd, dragon fly, aix, hp-ux, ...
It would be nice if Gentoo FreeBSD were included, especially if the kernel were compiled with Clang. I am fairly confident that Gentoo FreeBSD with a Clang compiled kernel will outperform Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. I say that because I wrote the kernel optimization that should allow it to do that.
unmaintained/broken probably better describes Gentoo OpenBSD, which currently only lives in our hearts. Gentoo FreeBSD is in fairly good shape, but very minimal development was done due to a lack of developer resources until late last year/early this year. Around that time, the pace of development started to increase. This enabled us to reach a few milestones in the past few months:
- Gentoo FreeBSD gained amd64 support
- Gentoo FreeBSD has been updated to FreeBSD 9.0
- Clang now compiles Hello World programs and nearly all of the packages in the @system set
- Users can replace pkgconfig with the BSD-licensed pkgconf. This removes the @system set's dependency on glib, but it is not *BSD-specific.
There are some notable things that currently do not work, but most of them have workarounds:
- GCC 4.6 and up are unable to compile the bootloader. This one is an upstream issue, but people are working on it. For the time being, use either GRUB/GRUB2 or compile sys-boot/boot0 with GCC 4.5.x or earlier.
- multilib support is broken. Do a 32-bit chroot/jail.
- GNU Screen is broken. Use tmux with GNU Screen bindings.
- The X server has not been tested in years. X11 Forwarding works, KDE builds and the Nvidia driver supports the platform.
- Machine virtualization is in bad shape. KVM client support is in portage, the bug tracker has an ebuild for qemu-kvm and kernel modules for KVM host support are in development. The bug tracker also has an ebuild for open-vm-tools-kmod. Ebuilds to support virtualbox's guest addons and open-vm-tools' userland utilities are planned.
- Linux emulation support lacks 64-bit support. This is an upstream issue. You can get away with 32-bit binaries for now. No one is working on this one.
There are only a few people (out of roughly 260 Gentoo developers) actively making commits for Gentoo FreeBSD and our time is limited, but development is going at a good pace. I hope to see Gentoo FreeBSD reach parity with Gentoo Linux sometime next year. And by parity, I mean ahead in some areas (e.g. ZFS, Dtrace, Jails, Clang), behind in some areas (e.g. 3D graphics, ISA support, embedded software support) and equal in most areas.
As far as installing Gentoo FreeBSD is concerned, there is a very helpful wiki page on the procedure that a retired Gentoo developer wrote (after he retired):
Just make sure that you build sys-boot/boot0 with GCC 4.5.3. You can do this by doing `emerge sys-devel/gcc:4.5` and then `env CC=gcc-4.5.3 emerge --oneshot sys-boot/boot0`. As for building the kernel, you can install Clang and then use CC=clang when building it to build it with Clang. Also, I know that you like to build things with generic CFLAGS, but unfortunately, that is ridiculous when one of the major strengths of your distribution is that you can customize the CFLAGS with basically no effort. As such, I would like to ask that you test two versions of Gentoo FreeBSD. One with whatever you normally use and another with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" in /etc/make.conf. That should produce a fair comparison.
Also, if you want to test a Clang-built system, you can try something like `env CC=clang CXX=clang++ MAKEOPTS=-j5 emerge --keep-going --jobs=5 -ave @world`. That will attempt to rebuild everything with Clang and give you another OS configuration to test. 5 to 6 packages will fail (boot0 included if I recall). There are patches in the bug tracker for most of them. Binutils will also among them, which is due to a regression in 2.22 that we have not had time to fix. Binutils 2.20 is not affected.
