1968 Old Ft. Pkwy., Murfreesboro, TN 37129
I was able to eat steak and a salad while out with my gluten loving family. I'm new to the gluten free lifestyle but this place had plenty of gluten free options for me. Even had a gluten free desert even though I didn't try it. Bring gluten free, having plenty of options is a wonderful thing. Definitely recommend for a nice meal out.
2410 SE Tones Drive, Ankeny, IA 50021
I've worked at Outback for 5 years and recently was diagnosed with Celiac. I can attest to the quality of GF foods. the kitchen staff takes allergens seriously! You will be safe here!
1260 S. Moorland Rd., Brookfield, WI 53005
I love Outback...but make sure you check your salad before eating it. I ended up with a crouton in my mouth once. This was after the server made a big show of saying that it was a gf salad. I think someone picked off the croutons before giving me the salad. The manager made me a new one himself.
7770 S. 1300 E., Sandy, UT 84094
I've never gotten sick here and I have a very sensitive stomach my favorite is the Alice Springs Chicken without the mushrooms, one time when I went with my boyfriend it had mushrooms they were very understanding and made me a brand new one and apologized and gave us our meal for free!
5771 E. 86th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46250
delicious and great gluten free dessert menu!!
1260 S. Moorland Rd., Brookfield, WI 53005
GREAT food but they could use a few more gf options. no buns:(
5240 South Lindbergh, St. Louis, MO 63126
Our waitress was informed and very helpful. It was a great experience for us. They even have a gf chocolate brownie for dessert. The food was very good!!
124 Kernstown Commons Blvd., Winchester, VA 22602
Fantastic waitstaff. Very friendly and knowledgeable, both for food and bar choices. It is a chain, but not all kitchens are staffed equally. Everything was cooked well came out as ordered (no croutons on salad, etc)
45 Mazzeo Drive, Randolph, MA 02368
I've eaten here a couple times and have never had an issue. This last time, the server seemed really aware which is always comforting. My meal was brought out by itself before the rest of my table which I appreciated too.
250 Mitchelle Drive, Hendersonville, NC 28792
We eat here often, never had an issue and servers always listen and do a great job. The brownie dessert on the menu is AMAZING !
3527 Union Deposit Rd., Harrisburg, PA 17109
All kitchen staff undergo food allergy training every 6 months. Good gf menu including an awesome dessert! Staff very knowledgeable about gf and preventing cross contamination.
7640 Highway 72 West, Madison, AL 35758
Love the GF menu, service was great! Prices are high, $70 not including tip for 2 adults and 3 kids (who all ordered off the children's menu, one adult had water and no alcohol at all) for lunch is too much for what we got. Thats why my star rating is only a 3. While we were leaving we saw other tables that had what appeared to be lunch menus. I suppose you have to ask for those as we were not offered a lunch menu.
698 Bridgeport Ave., Shelton, CT 06484
I love the thunder from down under is so yummmmmmmmy dessert
610 Old York Road, Jenkintown, PA 19046
This place is the worst. The person says he is the one of the owner is rude the us and are bill was big. He belittled the waitress in front of us just to show his power. Maybe he thought we liked him but he is obnoxious. You should never put you employees down. In front of customers!!!
34 Cambridge Street, Burlington, MA 01803
Been here a few times . A lot of different options . Gluten free salad dressing . Titos vodka . There is a disclaimer on possible cross-contamination. Never had a issue .
1805 E. Lincoln Way, Sparks, NV 89434
I was very disappointed when we found out that the french fries are not gluten free. They put something on them at the plant to keep them from sticking and that has gluten in it. My child could not have french fries. Kids aren't that crazy about baked potatoes. Why oh why did they have to do that
1070 Route 46, Ledgewood, NJ 07852
They are so accommodating to people who Are gluten free. The food is delicious. For a chain restaurant, I was impressed..
1805 E. Lincoln Way, Sparks, NV 89434
Quite a few options on the gluten-free menu. I had salmon with veggies and it was quite good. No gf bread available, though.
25 Crystal Run Crossing, Walkill, NY 10941
Very knowledgeable managers. Lots of options, even sweets and cocktails!
9880 Colerain Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45251
While they have a good menu, the staff clearly isn't completely trained or educated. We had to point out contamination issues which was probably due to how busy they were when we went. I would not go when they are exceptionally busy.
6435 Dixie Hwy., Clarkston, MI 48346
It's a go to for me. Lots of options, staff pretty knowledgable and accommodating.
497 E. 120th Avenue, Thornton, CO 80241
Outbacks gluten menu is huge! The wait staff were very helpful. Besides being gluten sensitive I also can't have onions or mushrooms and my waiter made sure my Alice Springs Chicken was made to my satisfaction. Also they have a gluten free brownie dessert which was out of this world. This is my place to go when I want to eat out.
698 Bridgeport Ave., Shelton, CT 06484
Went recently to Shelton Outback and was very pleased with take away service. Server Patrick was attentive and careful with my order. He made sure the gluten free part of our order was correct and packed carefully to avoid cross contamination. Very pleasant server and experience.
1905 Waddle Rd., State College, PA 16803
always a solid outing with Outback, with knowledgeable staff and plenty of menu options
2715 Village Lane, Bossier City, LA 71112
Experience was pretty awful overall. We had a party of four and three had food allergies. Server obviously didn't care, kitchen didn't care. Manager didn't care enough. Had to send all three allergy meals back at least once. Had to send the celiac's salad back TWICE. Other Outbacks my be fine, but this one is terrible.
8195 Vineland Ave., Orlando, FL 32821
WOW. Not normally "chain restaurant people," we came here because our GF son (severe allergy) really wanted a burger. My husband and I are also GF (highly sensitive). After an exhausting day at Discovery Cove AND Sea World, we were so thrilled to be accommodated SO well. Our server was VERY friendly and helpful. Most impressive was the owner, Chris, who came to our table multiple times - before ordering, while making our food with a question, and after we received it to make sure everything was ok. Everything was prepared and brought out separately from our non-GF son's food, and they even cooked our GF son's burger in foil to prevent cross contamination on the grill. EXCELLENT meal and SUPER accommodating staff and owner. GREAT MEAL...a wonderfully stress-free way to end a long (but fun) day!!! Special thanks to Chris, and Kat, our server!!! They were fantastic! :-)
4220 S. Tamiami Trail, Venice, FL 34293
I had the gf salmon and mixed veggies and added a garlic mashed to make a meal. the mashed were dry and the mixed veggies were cooked to death pale with a brown color ,and bland. the manager offered to have the kitchen redo the order and claimed the vegetables are fresh... the tab was over $20 for a cafeteria Ikea style meal. corporate chefs not going out of their way to make a decent gf option for people. wouldn't recommend the chain, no reflection on the staff at this particular location.
4242 Palisades Center, W. Nyack, NY 10994
Great gluten free options. I am always super careful and make sure I explain everything to the water/waitress. Sometimes this location is crazy busy, but I've never had a problem with cross contamination or anything. Great food, good prices and the fact that I can dine here safely is PRICELESS!
4510 East State Rd 64, Bradenton, FL 34208
They changed everything! Regular menu changed. Also and more importantly they got RID of the gluten free menu entirely
906-C Southwest Dr., Jonesboro, AR 72401
I had the ribs and vegetables. Has a gluten free menu.
95 S. River Road, Bedford, NH 03110
Bartender named Lindsey took great care of me and let me know she was gluten free as well so she was a pro! Had an amazing meal! Their gluten free menu has a good portion of options
80 Central Square Drive, Prince Frederick, MD 20678
We asked for a GF menu before the receptionist seated us and she promptly added it to my husband's regular menu. Our waitress seemed very familiar with GF requirements. The GF menu lacked prices and portion sizes, but my husband read them to me; and the waitress also volunteered the sizes available for the filet I ordered. When my husband's fries arrived rather overdone, she brought him a fresh batch before he started on them! The manager overheard us discussing the food and chatted with us a while. The grilled asparagus, just the right tenderness with a nice bite to it, was smoked over oak wood. Our filet and hamburger were cooked med. rare and medium just as ordered and deliciously smoky. The manager explained that the GF menus were printed for the use of the nationwide chain, which varied in pricing and steak portions by region. My husband suggested each GF menu be accompanied by a local menu for more details. We certainly would eat there again.
2410 SE Tones Drive, Ankeny, IA 50021
Great service. Both waitress and manager spending extra time to make sure all safe for our celiac son. Steak was cooked on foil to prevent cross contamination.
1246 Great Mall Dr., Milpitas, CA 95035
Very good food, as usual. Atmosphere was a bit lacking.
3700 S. US Highway 41, Terre Haute, IN 47802
This is my favorite GF place in Terre Haute because they take me seriously when I mention my gluten allergy. They will mix salads separately and will ask follow-up questions when taking your order.
5552 NW Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78238
We eat here frequently. I seem to have some issues with the gf brownie so not sure if there's a cross contamination issue, but I've had a most nothing but great experiences here.
1640 Camino Del Rio N., Suite 125, San Diego, CA 92108
My friend likes Big Meat do we used to go here. I'd get the filet and salad with no croutons or bread. It wasn't great food but it was okay. Then one day my friend says "hey Ellie they have a gf menu!" And makes the server bring it over. I look out over and I'm all like "wow they have gluten free barbeque! How often do ppl go out of their way to make gf bbq?" So I ordered it. It was just okay, kinda not great bbq but whatever it's gf and I didn't hafta makeit! I was sick for a week, couldn't work out anything. I mentioned it on Facebook and my gf friend who's tapped into ask the gf communities tells me she got sick at a different Outback of the gf menu and so had a lot of ppl in her gf groups. Not to be trusted. Mediocre food, anyway.
5555 Youngstown-Warren Rd., Unit 40, Niles, OH 44446
have eaten here often. never been sick. wait staff is knowledgeable. food is good. actually spoke wit owner who was on premises! a safe place to eat.
8700 NE Vancouver Mall Dr., Ste. 121, Vancouver, WA 98661
They don't really have a gluten free menu but a menu that indicates what to avoid and ask to not be included in your meal. If you are looking for a steak and a baked potato you will probably be happy.
4619 Redwood Drive, Rohnert Park, CA 94928
They don't try to advertise as gluten free at all. Anyone who knows what they are doing would never order a burger and expect a bun outside of maybe San Francisco or a place that is specifically gluten free only. Stick to steaks and proteins just avoid anything from the fryers. The bloomin' onions spit out batter into the oil like a firecracker going off. I do not eat here anymore as it isn't safe for Celiacs but for people with wheat allergies you are okay. Just be careful.
6201 N. Federal Hwy., Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33308
gf menu, but they have limited items and it never changes. they got rid of the shrimp on the barbie appetizers:( one of our favorites. usually a delicious meal but not consistant food. some times it seems rushed and isn't cooked well at this location...
501-A Northgate Mall, Chattanooga, TN 37415
Finally found a place that has gluten free menu and is great it doesn't hurt me!!
30 Tunnel Road, Asheville, NC 28805
Celiacs beware. Not reliable. Ordered off GF menu, told waiter 3 - thats THREE - times to be sure cook was aware I was ordering off GFmenu. Sick within the hour after eating there.....totally unreliable.
10901 University Avenue, Clive, IA 50325
got glutenized 1st brought my salad out with croutons. then I think the pork chop had seasoning because it made me sick as a dog
4905 Commercial Way, Spring Hill, FL 34606
Good selection, but had to remind waitress about GF a couple of times.
1765 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI 96815
Very good service and knowledgeable server. Nice GF menu. Got chicken and a baked potato and everything was fine.

Phoronix: Tizen Is Announced; MeeGo Will Transition To It
The MeeGo Project announced last night they will be transitioning to Tizen, a new project from the Linux Foundation and others. Tizen is yet another mobile Linux attempt...
I guess they saw M$' Metro junk, assumed people liked it based on pundits' reviews (they don't, people aren't buying Windows Phone) and thought they had to do the same design choices. Bad decision ...
Soo.. essentially switch name from MeeGo to Tizen, exchange Nokia with Samsung, and be on your way? Except the HTML5 crap. (Don't get me wrong, I love HTML5, just not as only API).
By all means, let's scrap it all and try again. Because that always works. Every. single. time.
You can't be great overnight. People seem to forget that it took google, with all of its resources THREE YEARS after their first release on a REAL CONSUMER DEVICE to get where they are.
You can't just pick something up, do a few releases, and then throw it all away because "there's little adoption".
and now all together please: "Web technologies are for the web and shouldn't be used as an API in an operating system" 3x. Thanks. Move on.
As a day to day user of the KDE desktop one of the key things that made nokia/meego interesting was its use and promotion of QT, if Tizen doesnt use that then it lessens my interest in exactly the same way as Nokia downplaying linux in its QT marketed handsets.
I also doubt the capability of Tizen to be anything more than still-born if it doesnt use a decent mobile focussed UI toolkit like Qt.
I have seen too many of these mobile linux partnerships come and go to no real effect, at the end of the day nokia is on its fifth generation of mobile linux products, that is at least a real track record to place some trust in.
Im all for meego being folded into Tizen, and wishing it every success, but without nokia and Qt i remain sceptical, and quite happy to continue with an N9 for the next couple of years.
This is turning in to a running joke.
with no solid HW (or major company) background projects like that are bound to remain in the shadows
nokia has gone the MS way (sad cause the N9 looks really nice) Samsung is too general to focus on something and make it work (they even have something going on with Enlightenment) and most of the other companies have chosen their side (android, QNX, iOS)

I'll bet you've heard of baseball fans who take summer road trips to try and catch a game in as many different ballparks as they can. Some set a long-term goal of visiting every park during their lifetime. This can be a bit of a challenge, especially when old parks are torn down and new ones are built. Other sports fans may follow the same plan for taking in a game at professional basketball arenas and football stadiums.
The just-completed voting for inductees into football's Hall of Fame got me thinking that visiting some of these halls and museums might not be a bad idea for another sort of road trip.
Being voted into a sport's Hall of Fame has long been the ultimate and often final acknowledgement of a player's (coach's, owner's, or contributor's) achievements in their sport. There are Halls of Fame at all levels, from high school to college, to professional sports.
Almost every sport has some kind of Hall of Fame and/or museum to honor their sport's history, traditions, and participants. If you are planning a trip this year, perhaps visiting one of these Halls might make it on your itinerary. Here are just some of the national Halls of Fame. Be sure to check out their websites for all the details you'll need about directions, admission costs, and all the interactive and extra programs they offer. There is so much more to see than just the pictures of the inductees.
Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Opened in September, 1963, it is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. Just head down I-77 and follow the signs.
National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY. Being a huge baseball fan, I've been twice and enjoyed every minute of it. Cooperstown itself is a great place to visit, too.
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. Named in honor of James Naismith, a physical education instructor who introduced the game of basketball to his class at Springfield College in 1891.
International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, RI. Housed in the historic Newport Casino, the grounds include classic grass courts.
Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Their current promotion is "Bring the Cup to Your Community", giving some lucky people/groups the chance to bring the coveted Stanley Cup to their hometown or special event.
World Golf Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, FL. Besides the exhibits, there is an 18-hole putting course and a Challenge Hole.
International Bowling Museum and Hall of Fame in Arlington, TX (formerly in St. Louis). Did you know that ten-pin bowling is one of the largest participatory sports in the world, with over 95 million active players?
NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC. This hall is home to over 50 interactive experiences, including tire-changing (pit row style), a broadcast booth, and race simulators.
National Soccer Hall of Fame currently resides online. The facility itself closed in 2010 and the displays and memorabilia are in storage. But they continue to hold yearly induction ceremonies in various locations in the U.S.
Closer to home, but again without a "physical" home is the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame. Since its establishment in 1976, the hall has inducted over 475 Greater Clevelanders who were honored for bringing recognition to this area through their notable sports and accomplishments. Each honoree receives a plaque, with duplicates currently hanging in the Lakeside entrance lobby of the Cleveland Public Auditorium. Efforts continue to find a new home for the Hall of Fame. The class of 2012 included Tim Mack, Jim Tressel, and Vonda Ward. Their website includes a list of all inductees.
Check out all the websites for these Halls of Fame, chart your course, and enjoy a great trip!

Baltimore Orioles Tickets
Baltimore Orioles Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5
based on 0 customer reviews
2013 Record (85-77) missed playoffs
2013 was another exciting year for the Baltimore Orioles. Playing in one of the most beautiful ballparks in the league, in the most competitive division, the Orioles were in the thick of the playoff race. Barely missing out on the playoffs after an incredibly successful 96 win 2012, the 2014 Orioles are thinking playoffs or bust. The Orioles are managed by former ESPN announcer Buck Showalter. Showalter immediately turned a struggling Orioles team into a contender when he took over in 2010.
On the field the Orioles have a plethora of talent. Chris Davis alone is a reason to head to Camden Yards. Hitting a league high 53 home runs with 138 runs batted last year the slugger continues to make a name for himself. Adam Jones, the center fielder, is arguably the team's best player. Hitting for power while patrolling center field he provides a spark in the middle of the Orioles lineup. Long time Oriole, Nick Markakis is off to a great start in 2014 leading the team in hits. In order for the Orioles to get back into the playoffs they will need consistent performances from the pitching staff. The ace of the staff is Ubalado Jimenez who the Orioles acquired from Cleveland in the off season. Jimenez along with starting pitcher Chris Tilman look will look to round into form after struggling initially. The Orioles will be in the thick of things throughout the season. Don't pass up on a chance to see a game in beautiful Camden Yards. Get the best tickets at the best prices at Gold Coast Tickets!

Man I saw Predators yesterday.
It was good but not as action or craziness as I expected. First between the commercial and film there was a lie. In the commercial dude who had like 4390758745 red dots on him in commercial only had 1 really in the movie. It took like 50 mins for a Predator to finally ****ing show up. Weird asian dude finally talked after like an hour and so mins. It had like 3-4 funny moments. But imo still a good movie. Could of been more action and suspense. And the ending was totally ****ing disappointing. But I did like a lot of the twists and pot holes in the movie like the crazy doctor and random survivor/scavenger. The dude who was supposed to be sentenced to death was funny as **** attacking **** with his knife it was funny when he said when he got home he was gonna do some cocaine and rape some fine bitches, I was rollin.
We should of seen Inception. 2/3 of my friends wanted to see Inception but my dumb ass said I don't care what we see and we ended up seeing Predator. But no complain except I had to pay for those broke fucks tickets lol.
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
I haven't been to the cinemas in over two years, get movies from net and friends, but this one I might go to the cinema to see migya make the ring fall on ya |
All the reviews of Inception I've seen have been great. |
Me too... but I've got to go back home to have an IMAX close, so I'll have to wait til late august... still, that movie won't be showing here til the second week of august, so no big deal... |
So I watched it for the second time... that **** was bad ass... again.
if you like sci-fi movies that make you think check out the indie film Primer (2004). it was voted one of the best "Thinking Man's" sci fi films of all time. believe it or not it's MORE confusing than Inception, but just as unique and creative. it was made by a mathematician/engineer with a budget of $7000. all I can say is it involves the closest thing to "actual" time travel I've ever seen a movie. |
I'll have to check it out, I'm a huge Sci-fi fan - but the film has to actually be good as well it can't just be the crap they air on the Sci-Fi channel. My girl actually wants to go see inception again but I think i'm going to wait for it to come out on Xvid. |
A group of us went to see Inception. Half of the group fell asleep on the movie. The other half liked it. Personally, I could've waited instead of paying. The effects were good. The actors were good, but the movie seemed to move slow. Maybe I was expecting too much.
Yea, people have different opinions, like with District Nine,that many people thought was great, I thought it was real crap and a waste of time migya make the ring fall on ya |

Primer freaks me the hell out. The idea of multiple ___s running around each with their own agenda I find incredibly disturbing. It's definitely a movie that will linger in your mind for awhile. Absolutely recommend it to anyone that is willing to think and watch at the same time. I also recommend using the internet to get a better idea of what is going on in the movie. I did some research before I watched it and I found it very helpful. But I have no idea what kind of experience it would have been if I had watched it clueless. I am Aussiebiedrins' fantasy. BITCH!
Jeg er ikke enig.... Jeg kan godt lide at spise din mors gris ben. |
Agree, Inception was impressive.
I'll add, the Wachowski bros "Matrix" really helped raise the bar for this type of genre. While Inception had a different central theme, I deffinitely noticed parallel ideas being used. P.S. Man, that top at the end sure did look wobbly. |
Haven't posted in this thread for a while, but really a good thread as it gets people talking to others about movies they've seen, especially recent ones.
I recently saw Predators and it was alright, but nothing special. The first two were better, but I was much younger then. Inception had very good effects, as others have said, but the movie itself was nothing special, pretty good though. Dinner For Schmucks was quite bad I thought. Not very funny really, though some parts were pretty funny migya make the ring fall on ya |
u guys seen the figter? Great movie about 2 brothers and whewr i e there boxing careers are headed. Man christian bale nailed his character. A definate oscar nomination in the pipelinei think bale is my generations daniel day lewis in terms of every role his taken the performance has been solid. His going to need a very large memoriblla room trophy cabinet over the next few years. Big things expected for him.
Bale was good in the fighter, that was about it. Poor script, amateur direction and the fight scenes were the worst I've ever seen.
Forgot to post in this thread. I saw The Fighter a few months ago and it was alright, but nothing special. Nice true story
migya make the ring fall on ya |
Anyone seen any good flicks lately?
Last 2 movies I saw at cinemas was Contraband & Battleship. Battleship was M'EH!!! only reason I saw it is I try only to go to cinemas for the big blockbusters where Surround Sound & CGI explosions are appreciated. I'd be more then happy just downloading a flick & watching it for free from the internet (comedy/drama/etc) ... But when I want popcorn to jump out of the box and hit me in the face, then it's off to the theatres for me. Contraband was a a lot better then Battleships. Mark Wahlberg usually comes strong in all his roles. Giovanni Rabissi is also another bad ass (but it's like he has to put in a pound of chewing tobacco before he speaks his lines in films, Rabissi got that whiney drooling drawl.. Would love to know where abouts in America he is from) *EDIT* shoot he is born from Los Angeles. I swear Ribisi got that Texas or southern accent. perhaps he is the son of immigrants with a name like that. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000610/ |

A Major League Soccer team in Jacksonville?
Mayor Alvin Brown says that may not be as crazy as it sounds for some.
Brown said Friday the city has feelers out to bring a professional soccer team to the River City, a move he said wouldn't happen until 2025.
MLS has been open to expansion, particularly in the Southeast, but Jacksonville has not been a target. The mayor is trying to change that.
"I can envision us having a professional soccer team one day in Jacksonville," he said.
Brown said he sees many soccer enthusiasts here and says the city really scored when it hosted the Scotland-USA game in May, when 47,000 fans showed up to EverBank Field.
"I think it's more than a wish. I think it could happen," Brown said. "Maybe we start off with a minor league soccer team and grow into a professional. But I think it's more than a wish."
"There is no question in my mind you could have professional soccer here succeed," said Dick Kravitz, former general manager of the Jacksonville Tea Men.
Former state legislator and City Council member Kravitz used to head up the Tea Men, a professional soccer team in the River City. The team was part of the North American Soccer League, which folded in the early 1980s.
Kravitz sees professional soccer in Jacksonville again as a possibility.
Things have changed since he headed up the team. Kravitz said there are more people in the city now. There is a television market for soccer, and girls are now playing the sport. But he said there are some things that could hold the city back.
"The key thing is local investment," Kravitz said. "You still need to get an investor, and plus, Orlando has been very active. That market looking for Major League Soccer, so you have that competition."
Brown does not see that as a problem.
"I believe that soccer is one of those sports that eventually will be in Jacksonville," the mayor said.

Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Well i am partial to a vego diet. Was a strict ovolactoveg from 19 to 25, and now limit weekly animal flesh intake to <300g a week. I have some very yum tofu stir fries these days. I lost 20kg in 20 weeks up to Easter this year but then the cooler weather saw me put back on 5 - starch, sugar, wine++. Anyway, as the days are warming, the cravings are settling, and my BMI is on track to be sub 23 before B2GC. The 380km I've ridden in the last 4 days should help too. Some pics for those less familiar with the TT course. The start - just past the left hand turn into the picnic area. The finish - on the crest just past ABC tv's complex on the left.
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingAnyone know why there are two 250m markers about 50m apart?

Re: Mt Coot-tha training
All sorts have put marks on the road in the past - running and cycling clubs - presume they have different start points. I think the ascent actually starts east of Simpsons Road, though doesn't steepen for 50 odd metres. There used to be a lot more painted markers several years ago, but presume have disappeared due to resurfacing, weather, or manual removal. Maybe it's time for some new graffiti King Cadel shut up heart barfing? go paleo fat telewnkr? ride to work I am not 100% sure the yellow marks in the pics are the same as used by Coot-tha TT organizers, but they look close enough from memory. A few weeks ago pre 6.15am, a cycling group had small witches' hats out, probably to mark sprint interval way points.
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingLast time I climbed it was at the Mt Cootha challenge 6 months ago and I weighed in at 84kg's. Did it in 12:24. Now six months on I weigh 76kg (lost a lot of fat around the gut) and pushed up my weekly riding to between 200-250km's a week with commutes to work.
Not game to have another go as I don't want to disappoint myself with a lousy time even with all the loss of weight and hard work as I am not that young, rapidly closing in on 50 I despise hills although I don't mind the lumps around River Loop and commuting south over Gaza Rd/Mt Gravatt climb. cheers Dave
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingI tackled Cootha for the first time this morning. I used to live in Bardon and ride my downhill bike up it to do runs a few years ago, but since getting the OCR and starting to ride again a couple of months ago I had been kind of avoiding it. Anyway I've been doing a regular ride from here in New Farm out around Gapcreek via Brookfield and back into town, today I tacked Cootha onto the end of that. It was brilliant, what a great road to ride on! I came from the Ch10 side, no idea how long the climb took, but it was a lot less difficult than I thought it was going to be. I would have thought the climb in Gap Creek was almost as long had I not seen the elevation data afterwards. I'm going to try and incorporate Cootha into my weekday morning ride now. After successfully getting around it without too much drama I'm keen to have a go at Nebo/Glorious next
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingHi all, I ride cootha on a regualr basis as prep training for the alpine classic in victoria come Jan, whilst the distance is much shorter does anyone know the gradient of the first part of cootha up to the fork and then the back climb ?
Also how do these compare to Tawonga, Falls Ck or Dingo in the Alpine ? has anyone done o'reilly's, thats our next step up ?
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Just slide along the gradient plot and find the gradient of each individual section. Coot-tha back: http://app.strava.com/rides/1953520#32051893 The botanic garden up to the junction: http://app.strava.com/rides/1953520#32051896
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingI tried Mt O'Reilly Rd/Mayfield Rd if that's what you mean, a couple of months ago. It was after a ride up to Mt Glorious with standard road gearing (42/25). I only managed half way about - up to the bend in the road. It's very steep.
I will have another go soon still with standard gearing but rested. judged, insulted, gone
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingor the one beside Springbrook
42t is big..

Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingBeen pretty much staying away from Coot-tha for a few months, and focusing more on interval and sprint training.
Bodyweight hasn't budged much in that time. Surprised to do 2 Coot-tha PBs over the last 2 days. From 13.15 to 12.15 to 11.45 Sub 11 now looks do-able And maybe even sub 10 if I get my body fat from 20 to 10%. These PBs both came after riding 30km to Coot-tha so maybe a proper warm up is more important than I'd realized.
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingSince a teen, my way of celebrating the new year has been not to stay up late, but to wake up early and greet the new year's day sunrise with some form of exercise - surfing, running, cycling. It was a beautiful sunrise this morning and I made my way 30k to Coot-tha and did 11m55s, without getting too serious. I've been doing 80+ km per day for around 10 days, and am now going to have 3 days off the bike. I've got an exercise and diet plan for the next 4 weeks that should help me get a sub 11m30s ascent.
Re: Mt Coot-tha trainingif anyone's bored next saturday, I had someone on strava randomly invite me to this - http://app.strava.com/events/198/news
No other plans so I figure I'll go along & use the opportunity to try set a new PR up the front - hopefully there'll be some fast rabbits to chase, should help me push my limits.
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Hmmm... I got the invite too. Unfortunately I have stuff to do or I'd be there. Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Mt Coot-tha training
Lethoso there will be plenty of fast rabbits don't worry about that. The event is organized by the GC climbers and those guys can climb ...... I am too shy to give it a go as my best time was 11min at the coot-tha challenge and have not done much climbing of late

I'd love to see the Giants be the team to land Swisher. He's not what he used to be, but he's always been a great clubhouse guy; he'd fit in famously with their chemistry, plus he's a bopper who hits 20 dingers and can play all 3 outfield spots. With Pagan in tow, Blanco just became more expendable. He's got tremendous speed, but an outfield tandem of Pagan and Blanco just surrenders entirely too much power, IMO. If Belt fills out and starts cranking out those long fly balls that used to die at the center field track, then okay. But if not, you gotta have more beef.
Pence, Posey, and Panda are all great, but none of them are going to get above 25 HR's playing half their games in China Basin. Scutaro, Blanco, and Crawford offer ZERO power; they'll be lucky to collect 20 home runs between the three of them. And if Brandon Belt is going to spend another year below 10 bombs, you need a left fielder who can go yard. I like Swisher on a nice 2-year deal, but I'd also love to get Cody Ross back for that right-handed pop. I don't want to pay Hamilton, but if they can get him for $20 million or less, I would sh*t a brick.
So yeah. Nick Swisher and Cody Ross are on my wish-list. I'd be happy with either.

I would love Hamilton at ANY price, but only for 3 years. He could be worth a 3 year, 75 mill deal.
I dunno if I'd give him thaaaat...
If you're a hitter, you gotta have Bonds power to make $25 million in AT&T. I dunno if Hamilton cracks 25 homers playing half his games in Frisco and as a rule of thumb for power guys, you need to hit as many bombs as there are millions in your yearly pay stub. I'd give Giancarlo Stanton the SF treasury to come here, though. If they could SOMEWAY (which, they can't - lack of prospects... but, nevertheless) SOMEHOW get Stanton in that lineup with Posey, Sandoval, Hunter Pence.... Oh man. That's printed money right there.

Giants sign Posey for 9 years... yikes. Only good thing is that he will be 35 when it expires, not 40 (compared to all the other ridiculous contracts teams give to star hitters, aka Pujols, ARod, etc)
Nine years for a catcher is never a good idea. It's like giving a pitcher a really long deal. Except not as bad. Maybe

BTW, the Houston Astros lead the MLB in wins... I know. its still early. But lets just soak up that thought... while it lasts.
I'm not worried about Posey getting a big deal, he is clearly that good and if his body starts to breakdown playing the position, he's still a good enough hitter to plug in at 1st base and still be worth the contract. Many catchers do play a long time (15+ years) - particularly guys that are exceptional at either hitting (Piazza 15 years) or defense (Pudge 20 years). When you factor in that Buster isn't native to one position or another (dude played every position in college and all over in the minors, he actually had a single game in college where he played every position), I'm sure he'll be fine.
I'm far more concerned with Timmy and offense. It's not that we need Timmy, we proved that we can get along fine without him (at least as a starter), but because we was my favorite player and I hate to see his decline continue. Regarding offense, this is a make or break season for Belt - we'll soon learn if he is destined to be a starter in the show, or ride the bench as a decent backup. I'm also worried about Panda and his health issues as most everyone else is. This dude can illegitimately compete for an MVP one day, but nobody outside the bay knows or believes that and that's because he misses too many games. The more I think about it, the more I dislike the Scuturo deal - this just has Aubrey Huff written all over it. The kind of thing that forces a club to commit to starting a guy for a season or so – just long enough to kill production at that position. I hope I'm wrong, but I disliked the Huff signing when that went down. |
Yeah, Scutaro was overpaid. I dunno if Huff is where I see him going; more like Randy Winn. I see him going from .320 down to .270. The question is, who else would play second? They pretty much HAD to retain him.
Same issue this year as there was last year: you start with 2 outfield bats. I don't trust Torres or Blanco and I don't believe Gillespe or Peguero can come up and hit well as a starter for longer than a couple weeks maybe. I wanted Melky back; I don't care about the PEDs, dude is a hitter. Maybe not a 3 hole hitter, but he'd be handy to stretch the order out. Nevertheless, I have faith in Sabes and come deadline time, I don't believe we'll be without a quality 3rd outfielder. Timmy looks bad; I'd swap him and Vogey in the order. Give Timmy the 5th spot. I hope the middle 3 stay healthy. Pablo, Pence, and Posey all need 20 bombs this year because this team REALLY lacks pop. And I'm still on the Belt bandwagon, but the dude NEEDS to get above .260 this year. If the power finally comes around, all will be forgiven. BEAT LA!!! GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Season over.
Giants on pace for 0-162 |
Bumgarner > Kershaw
That's obviously tongue-in-cheek, but the lefties begin the year extremely comparably: 2 hits, 6 K's over 8 innings versus 4 hits, 7 K's over 9 innings. I think Bumgarner pitched the better game, but Clayton left the yard. Even then, though, Maddy's got just as many ribeyes as Kershaw. Giants pitchers start the year with a 0.00 ERA in 14.0 innings. That'll end tonight though. In the hasbeen matchup of the week, Tim Lincecum's corpse takes on the guy who used to be Josh Beckett. We'll see who crumbles harder (I'm guessing Timmy gets touched up for 5 in as many innings, while the Giants put 3 on Beckett). Definitely won't be the low-scoring affairs we've seen both sides throw thus far. Depending on when the Giants knock Beckett out, I like them to win. Posey and Pence are due for a simultaneous showing. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Strike and reverse those predictions; it was Beckett who got lit up and Timmy holding it together. Well played, G-Men.
I'll be there Saturday for Buster's bobblehead game. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |

Timmy looked good in his last outing. Hopefully this is a trend.
It's not. |
Agreed. When Timmy hits 94 on the gun again, I'll start to reinstate my faith in him. He's not a good enough PITCHER to have lax velocity; he's not Zito. That change-up gets a whole lot more swings when your 2-seamer buzzes at 96 with fuzz. I was citing Timmy's velocity back when people were still using words like "slump", "underweight", and "mechanics." Check this thread. In the minors, Tim hit 3-digits on the gun multiple times. When he debuted, he threw 97-98. And amidst his 2 Cy Young's, he was floating at 94-96. Right now, he's throwing 89, 90... Occasionally 91. He still has the swing-through change-up, but hitters sit on it cause he's lost the high 2-seam that used to break down on a righty's hands. Tim Lincecum is a strike-out pitcher, not an outs pitcher. And strikeout arms are much more heavily dependent on velocity. Tim doesn't know how to pitch to contact. He doesn't watch runners. He doesnt have the rhythm that Cain or Bumgarner have. The only thing that I can see helping Timmy is a cutter. If he can get movement the other way on his fastball and learn to attack corners, like Vogey did the past 2 years, Timmy can regain enough form to be a 3 or 4 guy. Right now, he's a bum season and a half away from being sent to the bullpen. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Heres my question though: which Brandon should REALLY be hitting 6th??
Cause even though Belt's SUPPOSED to be spraying hits all over the field as a fundamental, disciplined hitter, it's CRAWFORD whose been crushin it lately. This was the dude I watched in SJ who could smash for a middle infielder. He ain't Tulo or Brandon Phillips, but Brandon Crawford can swing the thunder rod like a boss. I'd love to see him grow into his cannon and knock 15 out from the SS spot. Honestly, I think Crawford's our most powerful SS bat since Aurillia. And I don't even need to bring up that boy's defense. Gold glove or bust this season; Stamos is like my tongue on date night: slick in the hole with a big finish that knocks all the bitches out. Damn, I really sound like a Crawford fanboy, but for real. I think he's a tremendous SS, if he can get that bat to translate at the MLB level. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |

Lawdy, do we miss football. Everyone here at Polecat HQ is jonesing like depraved freaks, counting down the days until our Canadian friends kick off their 2013 CFL season. That'll get us through until our country's 100-yard football begins.
(Note to American football — adopt the rouge!)
A few coaching vacancies have been filled since we last bothered to blog, but there's more to talk about involving our beloved Pequot Football League.
Jimmy "Mouth of the Shore" Zanor of the Shore Line Times had everyone here at Defcon 2 this morning after reading a tweet he posted Thursday night.
Zanor, an outstanding chap, tweeted, "Some Pequot Conference football teams ready to join the SCC in 2015."
SCC commish Al Carbone emailed this morn that there haven't been any discussions.
MORE Pequot news — Ellington/Somers tweeted this fall's schedule, featuring a new divisional alignment:
North: Coventry/Windham Tech/Bolton (Class L), Cromwell (S), Ellington/Somers (M), Enfield (M), Sports and Medical Sciences Academy/University (S), Stafford/East Windsor (S) and Windsor Locks/Suffield/East Granby (L).
South: Coginchaug (S), Haddam-Killingworth (S), Hyde (S), Morgan (S), North Branford (S), Old Saybrook/Westbrook (S), and Valley Regional/Old Lyme (S).
West: Avon (L), Canton (S), Gilbert/Northwestern Regional (M), Granby (S), Housatonic Regional/Wamogo (S), Lewis Mills (M), and Nonnewaug (S).
We dare say that Avon and Gilbert/Northwestern Regional made out well in this shift for a few reasons. The West has one less consistent contender than the other two divisions. Granby and Lewis Mills are both young programs. Nonnewaug has won three games over its last five seasons.
The North has Cromwell, E/S and C/W/T, which have all made states in either of the last two seasons. Cromwell has also played in three state finals and won once.
The South looks like the toughest division. The Sassacus had been the tougher of the Pequot's two divisions, and most of those teams are in the new South.
Hyde, North Branford and VR/OL all took turns winning the Sassacus over the previous five seasons. Coginchaug and Haddam-Killingworth gave that trio trouble from time-to-time, too.
The return of divisional crossovers will (almost) balance everything out, though. Avon and G/NW will both play Cromwell, E/S, North Branford and VR/OL.
North Branford should have the toughest schedule next season if past success is any indicator. It has to deal with its South foes, in addition to crossovers against Avon, C/W/T, E/S, Cromwell and G/NW.
Pretty sure that H/W has the longest road trip — it opens the season at Old Saybrook/Westbrook. That's a one hour and 46 minute trip by car. A bus ride might take over two hours. Too bad that wormholes haven't been found in our realm as they'd help the Mountaineers cut down on travel.
We'd love to post a copy of the schedule, but we can't figure out how with this stupid gizmo. In the meantime, you can check it out at Ellington's twitter feed while we call technical support
■ ■ ■ ■
Now, onto the coaching portion of our show.
There were 16 vacancies when we last posted. That number has dwindled a smidge.
Bridgeport Central bumped assistant Brian Gordon up to the top spot, as first reported by Sean Bowley of Hearst Inc.
Gordon had been Central's defensive coordinator. We hope he follows the lead of former head coach Dave Cadelina and runs DOOM whenever possible.
Avon hired Jim Caouette, as first tweeted by Kyle Brennan of the NVL Blog, Waterbury Republican-American, and Griff's Chicken Shack. Gerry deSimas of the Collinsville Press wrote up a little something about Caouette, too.
Ellington/Somers tweeted Thursday that it elevated assistant Sean Byrne to head coach.
THIRTEEN teams still need a head coach — Abbott Tech, Branford, Bunnell, East Haven, Fairfield Ludlowe, Fitch, Old Saybrook/Westbrook, Rockville, St. Bernard/Norwich Tech, Stamford, Torrington, Wilby, and Woodstock Academy.
■ ■ ■ ■
Aw, shoot — we almost forgot to mention that the Naugatuck Valley League accepted Oxford with open arms last week, as first reported by Waterbury Joe of the Rep-Am. Kyle also yammered about it.
The Wolverines will move from the South-West Conference to the NVL in 2014. Their addition will cause a problem for the NVL as it will have 15 schools, thus screwing up scheduling.
The NVL will have three five-team divisions that have yet to be named:
Division 1: Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, St. Paul, and Seymour.
Division 2: Crosby, Holy Cross, Kennedy, Sacred Heart, and Wilby (it's all Waterbury, all the time).
Division 3: Naugatuck, Torrington, Watertown, Wolcott, and Woodland.
The league previously had the Brass and Cooper. We advise the league to name the third division "Zinc".
(Check your science books, kids).
Psst, NVL. You want to fix the scheduling issue? Call up the Bridgeport BOE and tell them you had a change of heart. Let Bassick, Central and Harding in and you'll have 18 schools.
A Bridgeport exodus wouldn't leave the FCIAC in a scheduling bind either as it would have a nice, even-numbered 16-school league.
Consider the boys' basketball league you'd have, too, NVL. It's already one of the best. Adding the Bridgeport trio would give you the state's most insane league with an RPI better than the Big 12.
Yeah, we know. It'll never happen. Perchance to dream.
That's all for now.

Super Stripes
Also found in:
♠ Stripes ♠ Thigh Highs ♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Eco Friendly ♠ Wonderland ♠ Men's Socks ♠ Autumn ♠ Cosplay
What happens when you cross M Stripes with Super Ms and add a little elastic to the legs? Super Stripes of course! We tried them and liked them, hopefully you will too!* Made in the USA.
36 inches from the heels to the tops with good two way stretch. Fits US Women's shoe size 7-10.5 wide (men's 5-8). Tops stretch up to at least 20 inches, the body of the sock stretches to about 18 inches; the wider your thighs are, the less high these will go, but you can always cuff them or slouch them.
These tend to be loose on thinner feet and ankles, but they're great for wider feet!
These are made on antique machines, so the manufacturing process sometimes causes the feet on these styles to twist so that it looks like the toe seam is on the side of the sock. If you have problems with keeping the toe seam and heel aligned properly, we recommend that you try washing them because, once you do, we find that the fibers relax and they're much easier to straighten out.
Additional Info: The toes & cuff are always the same color. Knee-high and extra-long versions also available.
Fiber Content: 65% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic, 20% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water; tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Label: Dream Stockings
My partner loves these socks and so do I. But I can't wear them with my huge feet. Are you planning to provide a version of thigh-high Super Stripes for larger foot sizes?
How similar are these to the O Basics in fit or texture? I know they are a longer sock so they'll be a bit different even if they have some things in common.
I was wondering why you don't plan to restock the pink and natural socks again? Thank you!
I was wondering if there could be a way at all to get a pair or two of these thigh high socks to come in the colors of house Gryffindor? :D
How do these compare to the M Stripes? From the size descriptions and fiber content, they seem almost identical. What's the main difference?
These are my first pair of Super Stripes and they are really tight around my calf and thigh. Is there any way to make them fit better so I can wear them as thigh highs?
I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.

Dominic has baseball on the brain. Just being good isn't enough — he wants to be the best. He dreams of playing in the majors someday, but worries about the intense competition for a position on a major league team. His girlfriend, Deborah, is also a highly competitive athlete whose appearance and performance are very important to her. She wants to stand out — both physically and athletically.
Because of the pressure they each feel to excel, Dominic and Deborah wonder whether steroids would help them. They've heard rumors about the bad side effects of steroids, but they don't have many facts. Here's the scoop on steroids.
Steroids, sometimes referred to as "roids" or "juice" are the same as, or similar to, certain hormones in the body. The body produces steroids naturally to support such functions as fighting stress and promoting growth and development. But some people use steroid pills, gels, creams, or injections because they think steroids can improve their sports performance or the way they look.
Anabolic steroids are artificially produced hormones that are the same as, or similar to, androgens, the male-type sex hormones in the body. There are more than 100 variations of anabolic steroids. The most powerful androgen is testosterone (pronounced: tess-TOSS-tuh-rone). Although testosterone is mainly a mature male hormone, girls' bodies produce smaller amounts. Testosterone helps build muscle and promotes the masculine traits that guys develop during puberty, such as deepening of the voice and growth of body hair. Testosterone levels can also affect how aggressive a person is.
Athletes sometimes take anabolic steroids because of their testosterone-like effects.
Another group of steroids, sometimes called steroidal supplements, contains dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and/or androstenedione (also known as andro). For the most part, steroidal supplements, which used to be found at health food stores or gyms, are now illegal and require a prescription. DHEA is one of the few exceptions and can still be bought over the counter.
Steroid supplements are weaker forms of androgen. Their effects aren't well known, but it's thought that, when taken in large doses, they cause effects similar to other androgens like testosterone. Here's what is known about steroidal supplements: Companies that manufacture them often use false claims and very little is known about the long-term effects some of these substances have on the body. That's one reason why the government took action to protect citizens by passing laws controlling steroid distribution.
Anabolic steroids stimulate muscle tissue to grow and "bulk up" in response to training by mimicking the effect of naturally produced testosterone on the body. Anabolic steroids can remain in the body anywhere from a couple of days to about a year. Steroids have become popular because they may improve endurance, strength, and muscle mass. However, research has not shown that steroids improve skill, agility, or athletic performance.
Anabolic steroids cause many different types of problems. Some of the common side effects are:
Specific risks for girls associated with anabolic steroids include:
Specific risks for guys include:
Steroids can also have serious psychological side effects. Some users may become aggressive or combative, believe things that aren't true (delusions), or have extreme feelings of mistrust or fear (paranoia). And people who use steroids also appear to be at higher risk for using other drugs, such as alcohol or cocaine, often to counteract some of the negative effects of steroids.
Steroid users who inject the drugs with a needle are at risk for infection with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), the virus that causes AIDS, if they share needles with other users. People who use dirty needles are also at greater risk for contracting hepatitis, a disease of the liver, or bacterial endocarditis, an infection of the inner lining of the heart.
Some people "cycle" their steroid doses. This means they take multiple doses of steroids over a period of time, then stop for a period then start up again. "Stacking" means taking two or more different anabolic steroids. Other steroid users may "pyramid" their steroids, starting with a low dose and gradually increasing the dose, frequency, or number of anabolic steroids taken, then tapering off to complete a cycle. Users believe that stacking enhances the effects of each individual drug, pyramiding allows the body to get used to high doses of steroids, and steroid-free periods help the body recuperate from the drugs. There is no scientific evidence to support any of these claims.
A lot of people tell themselves they'll only use steroids for a season or a school year. Unfortunately, steroids can be addictive, making it hard to stop taking them.
And once users stop taking steroids, they can have withdrawal symptoms including loss of appetite, fatigue, restlessness, insomnia, mood swings, and depression.
Anabolic steroid use is illegal and banned by professional sports organizations and medical associations. In spite of this, some athletes continue to take steroids because they think it gives them a competitive advantage. As seen in the high-profile cases, if an athlete is caught using steroids, his or her career can be destroyed. And there are serious health consequences.
When it comes right down to it, harming your body or getting disqualified aren't smart ways to try to improve your athletic performance. Being a star athlete means working hard and training the healthy way: eating the right foods, practicing, and strength training without the use of drugs.

You mention running these tests on the 60gb Vertex, it's the same one I have so I know a little about it.
How are you resetting the drive after each test? With wiper.sh or TRIM, or secure erase, or garbage collection?
Phoronix: Finally, Reiser4 Benchmarks Against EXT4 & Btrfs
There is no shortage of EXT4 benchmarks from comparing this evolutionary file-system's performance on netbooks to how it battles the Btrfs file-system to its performance recession. We have even benchmarked it on USB flash drives and on high-end SSDs. We have also delivered numerous Btrfs benchmarks. In this article though we are finally delivering something that has long been requested and that is Reiser4 file-system benchmarks running directly against EXT4 and Btrfs. We have also thrown in the original ReiserFS file-system for comparison too.

Geez! reiser4 is known to be broken on Zen-Kernel because has not been ported to Linux 2.6.32 yet.There are many more file-system / disk tests that we normally run in such articles, but these other tests were unable to successfully run on the Reiser4 file-system without crashing
What was wrong with the official reiser4 patches?
That was an good article. Thanks.
I think it might be interesting to see the fsck performance in filesystem benchmarks likes these since it delays booting during the periodic times that it is run. Perhaps copy a several hundred gigabyte partition containing data to multiple partitions of the same size but with different filesystems and measure how long it takes fsck (using the same options that are used when it runs during boot) to complete for each one.
I know about tune2fs and the ability to turn it off but the reality is that the default state is usually to have a periodic fsck enabled. Another facet of this is that the fsck performance impacts boot performance yet most boot performance tests do not test with an fsck (as far as I have seen). Anyway, just an idea.
Again, thanks for the benchmark!
yeah, that conclusion is alsmost as stupid as telling people to use the mm or zen patches.
Use the standard patch like reiser4-for-32 you can find in edwards directory on ftp.kernel.org.
Michael, your test is pretty much fail. You used known broken stuff and then blame reiser4 for problems.
I haven't had problems in years using reiser4 as long as I stayed with the patches from Edward. zen on the other hand - don't get me started.
Oh -and a run with lzo compression enabled would have been nice too.
Or ext3 with barriers forced on.
Or a little 'lets push reset' test.
What I find most interesting is the performance of ext4... Never the fastest, but consistently and boringly middle of the pack.
That said, I'm not really that interested in "speed" of my file-systems, the performance metric that matters for me is how the file-system behaves when things crash: i.e. How well it preserves my data! The fastest FS in the world isn't that much use if it looses data, and as disks are slow anyway...
Sounds like a conspiracy to me :P

Comments about Atom 39 Kick-Tail Longboard:
It's great! I ride it all the time! It's a smoothe ride and it's easy to ride, if you aren't a beginner. But I love it! It was a gift. I really like it. I use it to go short distances so its faster than walking.

WMP Tag Plus - MPEG4, Vorbis and FLAC metadata support for WMP |
WMP Tag Plus - MPEG4, Vorbis and FLAC metadata support for WMP |

I have released WMP Tag Plus, a Windows Media Player plug-in for viewing and editing metadata tags of MPEG4, Vorbis, FLAC and WavPack files.
WMP Tag Plus is different from the existing tag support plug-ins in the fact that it has a deeper integration into WMP, while the other plug-ins rely more or less on a workaround. This means that you can now use the Advanced Tag Editor to edit the tags of MPEG4, Vorbis, FLAC and WavPack files, which wasn't possible with the existing plug-ins. Another advantage is that WMP Tag Plus can set the playback length of these files in the library, which makes seeking possible when playing them. WMP Tag Plus is written for Windows Media Player 11 and 12. For more information and screenshots, please visit the official WMP Tag Plus web page. Download WMP Tag Plus October 22, 2009: WMP Tag Plus is now officially released, only some minor issues had to be fixed since the release of the second beta. The official WMP Tag Plus web page is at http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/wmptagplus November 7, 2009: WMP Tag Plus 1.1 fixes a bug that prevented tag changes from being written correctly to certain FLAC files. This update is recommended if you are using the FLAC tag support of WMP Tag Plus. February 12, 2010: WMP Tag Plus 1.2 fixes a possible crash in Windows Media Player 11. May 13, 2012: WMP Tag Plus 2.0 adds album art support, Monkey's Audio and Musepack tag support, a feature to refresh song tags in the media library, and much more. June 2, 2012: WMP Tag Plus 2.1 fixes a possible crash when closing Windows Media Player on Windows 7. November 29, 2013: WMP Tag Plus 2.2 fixes several bugs, such as a possible crash when accessing the plug-in's settings, and adds full Musepack SV8 support. March 29, 2015: WMP Tag Plus 2.5 adds read/write support for star ratings stored in FLAC and Ogg Vorbis files, and fixes broken plug-in functionality on Windows 8.1 as caused by certain Windows Updates.

This undated photo provided by Seton Hill University shows women's college lacrosse coach Kristina Quigley / AP
On college lacrosse playing fields up and down the East Coast on Sunday, women's teams honored the grieving team from Seton Hill University, reeling from a bus crash that killed their pregnant coach, her unborn child and the driver and injured players and other coaches.
Police are investigating why the bus veered off a Pennsylvania highway Saturday and crashed into a tree.
US Lacrosse, the sport's national governing body, urged teams to hold a moment of silence for the team and the crash victims. Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., announced that its team members would wear Seton Hill's colors in a game it was hosting against Huntingdon College of Montgomery, Ala.
A Facebook page called "Play 4 Seton Hill," which encouraged players to tie ribbons of crimson and gold - Seton Hill's team colors - on their shoelaces, drew about 1,700 "likes."
Seton Hill's players and coaches were among 23 people aboard when the bus crashed Saturday morning. The team was headed to an afternoon game at Millersville University, about 50 miles from the crash site in central Pennsylvania.
Head coach Kristina Quigley, 30, of Greensburg, Pa., died of her injuries at a hospital, authorities said. Quigley was about six months pregnant, and her unborn son didn't survive. The bus driver, Anthony Guaetta, 61, of Johnstown, Pa., died at the scene.
Both Saturday's game and a Sunday home game were canceled after the crash. Seton Hill, a Catholic liberal arts school of about 2,500 students in Greensburg, near Pittsburgh, held a vigil Sunday night on campus, and thousands attended.
Before the beginning of a Seton Hill baseball game Sunday, team members and fans observed a minute of silence for the victims, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Mourners also visited a tribute set up in front of a lacrosse net next to the baseball field that featured bouquets of flowers, stuffed animals, a lacrosse stick, a whistle and a candle in front of a team photo and signs reading "In memoriam - Kristina Quigley - Forever a Griffin."
Players at other colleges joined in the tributes. "We just started texting all the girls we knew," said Lindsay Bullock, 20, a lacrosse player with Marymount University in Arlington, Va. She started the Facebook page with a cousin, Malory Brunett, a student at Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Md. "A lot of girls are planning on keeping their (ribbons) for the rest of the season."
Seton Hall University, a Catholic college in New Jersey, posted a notice online that some media had incorrectly identified Seton Hall students as being involved in the bus accident. "While our students have not been affected by this accident, our thoughts and prayers are with the Seton Hill University community and all of those affected by this horrible tragedy," the statement said.
The bus operator, Mlaker Charter & Tours, of Davidsville, Pa., is up to date on its inspections, which include bus and driver safety checks, said Jennifer Kocher, a spokeswoman for the state Public Utility Commission, which regulates bus companies.

I'm not I the UFC I get that and that is a very high level. But so was Pride. The statement options are like arse holes comes to mind.
