Even after the measles had broken out the cow-pox inoculation took effect, but did not run its course until the measles had disappeared, as Kortum likewise witnessed.(30)
I myself saw the mumps (ANGINA PAROTIDEA) immediately disappear when the cow-pox inoculation had taken effect and had nearly attained its height; it was not until the complete termination of the cow-pox and the disappearance of its red areola that this febrile tumefaction of the parotid and submaxillary glands, that is caused by a peculiar miasm, reappeared and ran its regular course of seven days.
AND THUS IT IS WITH ALL DISSIMILAR DISEASES; THE STRONGER SUSPENDS THE WEAKER (when they do not complicate one another, which is seldom the case with acute diseases), BUT THEY NEVER CURE ONE ANOTHER.
When two dissimilar acute infectious diseases meet, as, for example, smallpox and measles, the one usually suspends the other, as has been before observed; yet there have also been severe epidemics of this kind, where, in rare cases, two dissimilar acute diseases occurred simultaneously in one and the same body, and for a short time combined, as it were, with each other. During an epidemic, in which smallpox and measles were prevalent at the same time, among three hundred cases (in which these diseases avoided or suspended one another, and the measles attacked patients twenty days after the smallpox broke out, the smallpox, however, from seventeen to eighteen days after the appearance of the measles, so that the first disease had previously completed its regular course) there was yet one single case in which P. Russell (33) met with both these dissimilar diseases in one person at the same time. Rainey(34) witnessed the simultaneous occurrence of smallpox and measles in two girls. J. Maurice,(35) in his whole practice, only observed two such cases. Similar cases are to be found in Ettmuller's (36) works, and in the writings of a few others.
Zencker (37) saw cow-pox run its regular course along with measles and along with purpura.
The cow-pox went on its course undisturbed during a mercurial treatment for syphilis, as Jenner saw.

I wonder who cares about it, minimalistic masochism would have made sense 5-10 years ago.
Phoronix: SLAX 7.0 "Green Horn" Released: ~200MB KDE Linux OS
SLAX 7.0, the KDE-based Linux operating system that's sized in at 200MB, was officially released on Monday...
I wonder who cares about it, minimalistic masochism would have made sense 5-10 years ago.
I slightly disagree with the both of you. For me, Linux has always been the system that can be modified to run on aging systems, yet provide support for today's current (web) standards.
Since my parents did not want Gentoo on this machine, I had to resort to Ubuntu. (They caught me tweaking on Gentoo for days!)
If a light distro based on Ubuntu would exist, which contained VLC, Libreoffice, Chromium and Claws-mail then I would switch over. These 4 critical pieces of software are a base requirements for my parents to properly use this computer.
However, Ubuntu is pretty well supported. And the LTS make it really nice if you look at support 'costs'. Although I'm still looking for a lightweight distro. Why? Because Ubuntu packs stuff such as Apparmor, a lot of unnecessary daemons, apport, plymouth and ufw. These components are not necessary to drive a PC used for browsing and e-mailing.
I think that as time progresses, a nice niche for lightweight distro's will become more apparent. And I think that Linux will really shine in that specific aspect.
Last edited by Rexilion; 12-11-2012 at 11:13 AM. Reason: Grammar...
any particular reason to use this over porteus?
SLAX was one of my 1st experiments with LINUX and i always enjoyed it...i'm glad that continues to evolve.
As for "downgrade" a distro like UBUNTU, i dunno if you can do it to a level as small as this and i don't care...why ? because why bother with all the work to do so when we can get a solution ready made, SLAX ?
It's also a nice distro to port for ARM in special for all those small "dev" boards around there...
I'm not sure I start with around 10-20 MB. But I am starting with a 'base-only' installation (from the alt CD). I even use 'base-installer/install-recommends=false' to strip it down even further. So I think we are talking about the same thing. On top of that, I install stuff like claws-mail and VLC which takes longer than the initial install due to the amount of deps those pull in (like X).
And finally, I delete all stock kernel images/initrd's and sources and build and compile my own monolithic kernel which is about 2,5MB.
That is a pretty slim installation of a little less than 3Gigabyte.
I'm just not really happy with all the bells and whistles that come along.
I like to get the most efficiency out of my system but you don't need a distro under 300MB to run linux on an old computer, especially if its running KDE 4, gnome 3, or unity. While I feel there are many features that don't belong in the kernel, to me spending the time to filter it all out (especially for someone else) just isn't worth the time. Besides, for less than $150 you can make a new PC that is faster, quieter, more power efficient, and physically smaller which ought to replace those computers that you need to microoptimize. I've found anything that is a 2.2ghz P4 or older is not worth installing a new OS on. I know you can get plenty of performance out of one (I used a 900mhz celeron for several years up until last year) but you waste more time and money (on power) than it becomes worth it.
Totally agree. However, to 'filter it all out' is a onetime occurance now that I put Ubuntu + XFCE on my parents PC.
The hassle of Updating the OS, Updating the Antivirus etc etc are now all minimized to a bare minimum. Every week or so I run:
And I'm done. Windows Updates was a nightmare. Windows XP doesn't receive any new browser and multimedia support from Microsoft. Using third party tools didn't resolve the problem.Code:aptitude -y -R full-upgrade
I have to confess, the start was rather troublesome especially since my parents have to get used to Linux after using Windows for years. But in the long run, I believe the benefits outweight the drawbacks. The machine is capable of handling the tasks it users demand. Linux provides this facility at a (somewhat small) startup 'price'. But once it runs... . And besides, I wait on how Windows 8 turns out. If it becomes another fiasco like Vista (which came on my laptop), you are left in the dark way earlier!
I agree that buying a 'new one' might be better. But I'm still waiting for stuff like Secure Boot and GPU drivers to become better.

Millions will sit around big-screen televisions to watch the Super Bowl this year. And as Super Bowl party-goers watch the game and, of course, the commercials, they will eat this and munch on that.
While pizza, wings and chips are some of the most popular foods consumed at a Super Bowl party, there are ways to offer Super Bowl party revelers delicious snacks without having them pack on the pounds.
And don't go running to tell your guests that you have a healthful selection of foods either. Chances are if you don't tell your guests, they won't know that the tasty items you prepared not only taste good, but are good for them too.
But before you get the party started, read on to find out five things you can do to have a healthier Super Bowl party ...
No. 5: Make your own pizzas
Ordering a pizza is by far the most popular thing to do when a few people show up to watch the game.
If you prepare the pizza instead of ordering it from your favorite pizza parlor, it will surely help party-goers stay on track if losing weight was a New Year's resolution.
There are several low-fat recipes available. But if you don't want to use a full-fledge low-calorie recipe, swap out a few of the ingredients.
For example, instead of using pepperoni, use turkey pepperoni. Instead of using sausage, think about grilled chicken. To give it some added flavor and nutritional content, consider adding green peppers.
And of course use low-fat cheese and ta-dah, you have a tasty pizza. But low-fat cheese can be used on more than just pizza to help party-goers avoid packing on the pounds ...
No. 4: Slim down those sandwiches
Sandwiches have long been a mainstay of most Top 10 Super Bowl party food lists. But if you are serving "sammies" this year, think about using low-fat cheese or even Swiss cheese.
Of course grabbing turkey is a much better choice than ham. Provide wheat bread rather than white. And don't forget the low-fat mayo.
But before you place the bottle of low-fat mayo on the table, dump it in a small dish. It will help with presentation. And it will keep you from spilling the beans about the healthier condiment. Mustard is also a good alternative and has about 35 calories per serving.
Pickles are not just for decoration. Pickles can help suppress cravings and possibly keep some of the revelers from overeating.
The same can be said for fruit, which may not sound like a Super Bowl party hit, but will likely go over big with your hungry guests ...
No. 3: Fruit can be fun
Fruit does not have to be viewed as unpopular because it is part of the food pyramid. It can be dipped in a tasty dip or low-fat chocolate.
And if you are thinking, there's no way the fellas will go for that, don't forget about the ladies who are most certain to be in attendance. And be creative so it can be a hit.
You've likely seen a pizza or snack spread shaped like a football field or football; so why not do the same with fruit? You can definitely have fun creating something that either looks like your favorite team's logo or a football. If you really aren't that creative, spread the fruit on a large sheet pan and decoratively place in the projected score of the game.
Get grapes, pineapples, apples, kiwi, oranges and any other fruit that will awaken your creative juices.
No. 2: Don't let the dip tip the scale
Some type of dip is likely to be part of the Super Bowl menu. After all, it just isn't a party without some dip, right?
If it calls for cheese, you already know that it should be low fat. But if the recipe calls for sour cream or cream cheese -- or even salsa -- be sure to grab the container with the least amount of calories.
If you prepare one of those really delicious dips that have sausage or ground beef, swap the meat out with turkey. And if you have gone out of your way to lower the caloric content of the dip, make sure that what your guests will be dipping with is healthier, too.
Grab a wheat nacho or a baked chip. If that's getting a bit too healthy for you, just be sure to grab the bag that has the least amount of sodium. Yep, sodium intake contributes to gaining weight.
All that food is likely to leave you with some thirsty guest, so don't forget the beverages when it comes to healthy party choices ...
No. 1: Pour some low-cal drinks
Light beer is definitely a top seller, so be sure to grab plenty.
If liquor is your choice, don't use a lot of juice, syrup or mixer. Make it low-cal and then be sure to only make it a splash of orange juice, cranberry juice or whatever is fancied. Don't forget that the liquor can also be served on the rocks.
The standard 1.5 ounce serving of 80-proof alcohol has 96 calories. And if you are a wine drinker, a glass usually contains 125 to 150 calories. Beer can range from 64 to 198 calories per 12 ounces.
So as you prepare to cheer on your favorite Super Bowl team, leave your party-goers with only good memories of a great time instead of a few pounds.
Help them stay on track if they have resolved to lose weight by preparing your own pizza and sandwiches with healthier ingredients. Serve fruit and only use a splash of juice or serve cocktails on the rocks.

Hohenstein RET: 6 to 8
Technology: 2 layer Hydrophilic PU Lamination
Polartec® Alpha®
Polartec® Alpha® is a new state-of-the-art synthetic insulation that banishes the need for impervious down-proof fabrics by offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability in a "puffy" style garment.
What is it?
Polartec® Alpha® is a new concept in synthetic insulation focused on unsurpassed thermo-regulation. Unlike conventional synthetic insulations Polartec® Alpha® is a knit material that offers excellent stability and superior durability without the need for scrims or tightly woven fiber proof lining fabrics.
How does it work?
Its unique knit structure allows for the use of highly breathable lining fabrics which permit body heat and moisture vapor to move through the insulation. This air permeability allows for warm air to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration creating a more even distribution of warmth with-in the garment.
What are the benefits of this technology?
- High breathability allows unrestricted movement of moisture vapor
- Dries 20% faster than conventional synthetic insulations
- Extremely versatile much more comfortable in a much wider range of activities than conventional synthetic insulated garments.
- Highly durable knit structure allows the use of highly breathable lining fabric for maximum air permeability.
What is it?
DriClime® mesh is a bi-component denier gradient dimensional knit made of two different denier yarns. Using extremely fine deniers this knit is extremely light with superior wicking performance.
How does it work?
The larger outer yarns are a special filament yarn with an open capillary structure, which pulls the moisture away from the skin to the backside of the mesh where it spreads to increase evaporation. The dimensional structure of the knit combined with the smaller denier yarns on the backside of the mesh increase the surface area allowing for greater moisture holding capacity.
What are the benefits of this technology?
This technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The mesh prevents condensation from collecting on the skin no matter what the level of activity due to its 3 dimensional structure. The dimensional knit structure also helps by spreading the moisture over a larger surface area maximizing the efficiency of the evaporate process. This technology solves the problem of condensation and internal comfort that even the most breathable of fabrics have problems with during high intensity activities.

Women order armed robber 'out in Jesus' name'
Masked gunmen flees after Lake City women at house party begin chanting
A masked gunman who attempted to rob a group of women inside a Lake City home Friday night may have got more than he bargained for.
Lake City police say Derek Lee, 24, entered a house on Lakeview Avenue where the homeowner had 14 women over for a jewelry party. Police say Lee was wearing a dark ski cap on his head along with a bandana across his face. He allegedly showed a gun and ordered the women to hand over their money and phones.
One woman who thought it was a party gag pushed his hand aside while laughing saying, "It's only a water gun." Police say Lee (pictured, right) held the gun to that woman's head and said, "I'm not joking, I'm going to shoot someone, give me your money."
Jacquie Hagler, who owns the house, says she then put her faith into action.
"When I realized what was going on, I stood up and said, 'In the name of Jesus, get out of my house now.' And he said, 'I'm going to shoot someone.' And I said it again, real boldly," Hagler said. "Everybody started chanting, 'Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,' and he did a quick scan of the room, and ran out the door as fast as he could go."
Lee is also being investigated for an attempted robbery at a nearby ATM that happened moments prior to the home invasion.
Police say based off of the description given by the victims, investigators were able to identify Lee and place him in a photo lineup. Several of the ladies at the jewelry party pointed out Lee, who was arrested at his home at 11:17 p.m. Friday.
Lee was booked into the Columbia County Detention Center for home invasion robbery and held on a $200,000 bond.
Hagler says she hopes Lee eventually gets the message.
"I have forgiven him and prayed for his salvation," said Hagler. "I'm hoping this situation has led him to trust the lord and turn his life around."

I used this book for economic class. We discussed the ways in which the whole economy works.
read more
I learned many new things about the way out economy works because of this book. I learned how a recession works and how to overcome it. I have also learned a lot of basic economic vocabulary. -
This is my first in-depth economics book. However, I touched briefly on economics in other subjects, those books actually explained the subject better.
read more
There is no step-by-step teachings. No examples of the work we were covering. -
I would have quizzes at the end of each chapter. I did pass the Macroeconomics class with an A but the teacher taught us information that was in the book but in her own way so that the students could understand. This book was really helpful.
read more
I learned about PPFs which I had trouble with at the beginning of my semester. I opened the book and read the chapters. I also learned about the circular flow diagram about our economy and how the diagram works. -
Overall, I liked the book. I would have preferred to maybe have every formula separated from the text so it would be easy to find them when skimming through to find a certain formula.
read more
Since it was only my first semester, I havent read any other book on Macroeconomics. If I had in the past, I would more than likely not remember it. -
Yes, It was a great reference tool to the course. Was able to find what I needed based on chapters.
read more
More detailed explanations. Graphs too vage. Would like to see more updated real world information. -
This is the first book I have read on this subject matter, so I really have nothing to compare it to. What I can say is it have given me a better understanding about the economics of our country as well as others. The way that countries calculate their GDP is quite outdated. I think more items need to be included to get a true and accurate picture of the GDP.

If I had to change 1 thing in this book I might make the print just a little bit bigger.

From the article:
In ensuring a fair and accurate comparison of "Windows vs. Linux" performance for Intel OpenGL graphics, Windows 7 Professional SP1 was installed on the same ASUS Ultrabook using the latest Intel Windows 7 x64 driver, which was version 18.104.22.168.3071 from late March.From what I read on this site the 10% improvement on the windows drivers was suppose to be in driver 15.31.xAs was shared recently at the GDC2013 conference, Intel Windows driver developers are also reportedly working on a more-optimized Ivy Bridge driver for release soon. It will be interesting to see how much faster the forthcoming Intel Windows driver release is for our benchmarks, but Intel has reported that it will be a measurable gain.
So if that's the case, the linux drivers are in pretty good shape.
Hi everyone. I just registered here after years of lurking because there is a question I find important to ask, which is not clear to me from the article:
Is S3TC activated in any of the linux configurations? Is any sort of libtxc_dxtn activated (either for S3TC or S2TC)?
What about floating-point textures?
From my experience this makes a world of difference in some games. This is very noticeable for example on Warcraft 3 under wine using the opengl renderer, on both r600g (Mobility Radeon 3650) and i915 (the one in ASUS EeePC 901), and also noticeable, but to a lesser extent on Neverwinter Nights (native port, never tried it with wine).
Thank you.
PS - Michael, thank you for all the regular benchmarks.
It's clear Intel is spooked by the leverage of ARM to Linux, so their initial reaction is to protect the Window scene therefore holding down sales in their camp. They don't realise that ARM will supersede them if they don't get properly onboard with Linux.
There's little reason why the same algorithms can't be used it Linux with modification to suit the display server and other kernel integration, so it's clear there are team secrets, or benefits being withheld from Intel Linux Drivers.
If they keep up with these shenanigans then I will go complete AMD mobo/cpu and ARM devices.
Yes, the mentioned technologies are both "patent encumbered". There are, however OSS implementations of these techs.
That was why I asked the question. I know it can be a potential risk to use those technologies where software patents are valid (I.E. USA), but at the same time, they will likely give you a nice performance boost.
As for the alternative routine - ST2C is an alternative to S3TC. It was an implementation of the technology specifically thought to work around the patents, but AFAIK it's also not 100% risk free. AFAIK floating point textures have no "patent safe" implementation.
The "kernel" can be run in most any situation really well. You can even run it without on systems that don't have an mmu.
I think what you mean is that no SINGLE kernel is good at everything?
The RT guys are working on that, actually. One of the main devs, Gleixner, claims that RT will eventually be as fast as linus' tree, and faster at some things (network packet handling).
I think Intel actually enabled S3TC/floating point textures in Mesa by default on their hardware. Presumably some lawyer types at Intel told them their hardware was covered, although that didn't happen for other drivers (radeon/nouveau).
And then Fedora promptly disabled it on their distro. So i'm not sure what Michael's got.
Edit: you are supposed to be able to go to the results on openbenchmarking.org somehow, but i can't figure it out. I thought there was supposed to be a link in all the charts, but i can't find one.
If you can get to it, i think that records a list of the glxinfo results, which would have the extensions available, so you could check if S3TC is showing up there.

Fabulous Fords Forever - Web Exclusive
Written by on September 3, 2010The Western Regional Ford Club Council (with the help of FoMoCo) held and hosted the 25th annual Fabulous Fords Forever show again this year at the expansive parking and picnic area across the street from Knott's Berry Farm theme park in Buena Park, California. As always, this amazing event welcomed anything and everything Ford, Mercury or Lincoln, including passenger cars, sports cars, trucks, SUVs, and even foreign or Ford powered models in stock, original, restored, and modified forms. The event had lots of factory displays and hands-on demonstrations, in addition to dozens of national enthusiasts clubs where Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln owners could meet, greet, and join up. There were clubs representing early Ford V-8s, Model As, Model Ts, Mercs, T-Birds, Mustangs, Lincolns, Ford Galaxies and Fairlanes, and everything else. Each year, the event commemorates the anniversary milestone of a specific make or model. This year, Lincolns and Thunderbirds were recognized with a few pristine restored examples plucked from various model years to share with the many spectators in attendance.
Though Mustangs take up about a third of the parking area, there is an ample showing of pre-'64 Ford & Merc iron in the form of T's, A's, early Ford/Merc V-8's from '32-'53, and many Y-block and FE V-8 powered Fords & Merc's from '54-'64, not to mention everything else-from the latest hi-tech Ford products to vintage and contemporary muscle cars, niche vehicles, and other wonderfully creative (some just creative) FoMoCo products. Put it all together and its a great event to walk, gawk, and gab with Blue Oval enthusiasts (and there's a terrific theme park just across the boulevard).
To participate in next year's Fabulous Fords Forever show, you must submit an entry form in advance. The event web site www.fabulousfordsforever.org has details about the 2011 show date, location, and instructions on entering your Ford vehicle. For spectators, the show is free, so it won't cost you a dime to see one of the best all Ford events around!

About this font family
URW Grotesk was designed exclusively for URW by Prof. Hermann Zapf in 1985. At the same time, Zapf designed URW Antiqua to go with URW Grotesk. At that time, we were working with a large German publishing house (Axel Springer) on type design solutions to replace certain of their newspaper fonts. Test pages of large German newspapers (e.g. Bildzeitung) were printed with URW Grotesk and URW Antiqua font families. For reasons not disclosed to us, the project was dropped and Springer never used URW Grotesk and URW Antiqua for that purpose.
Anyway, Zapf finished his designs and URW produced both families. More…

Primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are routinely used in traditional bioassays to quantify antibody drug potency in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). These bioassays are labor intensive and have high inherent assay variability. Here, we report the development of a bioluminescent cell-based bioassay which measures activation of effector cells via cross-linking of FcγRIIIA with target cell-bound antibodies. For this, Jurkat T-cell stable cell lines that stably express NFAT-luciferase reporter and human FcγRIIIA were generated to replace primary PBMCs as effector cells in ADCC bioassay. Effector cells were also developed in a frozen, thaw-and-use format to minimize assay variability due to cell culture and handling. The resultant bioassay using this format demonstrated good assay precision and accuracy in bioassay qualification. Bioassay using the engineered effector cells is robust, specific and is able to quantify the potencies of rituximab and trastuzumab, two monoclonal antibody drugs for cancer. When used to measure effects of Fc glycosylation on effector functions of therapeutic antibodies, a linear correlation was observed between relative antibody activity and the extent of Fc glycosylation. Thus, the bioluminescent cell-based reporter bioassay provides a simple and robust approach to measure potency of therapeutic antibodies in ADCC with high precision.

Holy shit...Talia Palmer reminds me of a younger, frekle-ier, less porn whore-ier version of Savannah Stern. Same pretty face. Same dark hair. Same wide mouth that makes you want to run your cock all around it like a race track. And yes, the tits are real. Talia Palmer has this innocent look that makes you think you're about to face fuck the babysitter. We would usually spray a fat load of jizz all over those freckles, but Talia is such a good dick sucker that she finishes him off (look ma, no hands!) and makes the entire load disappear down her throat. Hold on tight, this teen babe came for your cum.

Jim Riggleman has presided over a Nats camp lacking in the usual drama.
VIERA, Fla. — Walking around the practice fields near Space Coast Stadium for the last two weeks, you tend to strike up conversations with all sorts of people. Players. Coaches. Team execs. Fans. Other media members.
Overwhelmingly this spring, there has been a common sentiment among all those different interested parties: This Nationals camp feels different than previous ones.
What's the difference? One particular phrase seems to keep coming up: There's a more professional tone to the proceedings.
Indeed, it does feel like there's less need for basic instruction and teaching this spring. Players are using their time simply to get their work in and get themselves ready for the season.
It helps that the roster boasts far more veterans than in the past, guys like Matt Stairs, Jerry Hairston, Rick Ankiel and Alex Cora. It also helpsRead more »

Nice Mark….just what these tired eyes have been longing to see for years…..No Lastings and his poor work ethic, no Dukes and his issues….No Patterson and Hill as your number 1's….no Anderson Hernandez as your starting 2b…..no Robert Fick or Nook Logan…No Acta learning on the job……..it did not have to be this bad or take this long to just put a basic MLB work ethic into place……But again…this is just what I was asking for so……lets go play 2 and win them both!

JayB, Mr. Optimist. It must be spring training.
- JayB - Feb 28, 2011 at 12:28 AM
I was down there for just under 2 hours….I have been every year since 2007….often more than one visit a year….I will be back soon if all goes as planned…..As I posted 10 days ago…this is a much different team. Guys are in shape and professional. If Rizzo had pulled off two of those starting pitching efforts…..they could have been well over .500….as it is…with some luck they will be 82-80…..just better CF and Starting Pitching……make some trades if you can Rizzo….you are clearly on the right track….as I have posted for years…fundamentals and team first play…goes a long way to winning a high school game and a MLB game….finally we are about to see it happen. Rizzo is one made Italian…..he wants respect now.

- Sunderland - Feb 28, 2011 at 1:49 AM
Mark – really nice perspective, thanks. This is one sign of the progress Rizzo has made. Another sign is going to be the roster of our AAA affiliate, with some actual legitimate MLB prospects. We've never really needed to have a AAA team prior to this year. Last year, and in previous years, we used AA for prospects and tried to put a decent team at AAA made up of fringe / aged MLB journeymen. If we did not have a AAA team last year, nothing would be the worse for it.This will be the first year that we actually need a AAA affiliate, a place to put MLB ready prospects. Cool
- Anonymous - Feb 28, 2011 at 2:06 AM
One caveat though … Mark mentions Garrett Mock among those of the past. I trust Rizzo and as much if not more than Rizzo guys like Roy Clark et al. THERE IS A REASON Garrett Mock is in this year's camp and a part of this crew. Detwiler looks to be the most improved but I wouldn't count out Mock, nor JD Martin, nor God forbid Yuniesky Maya JayB's major International signing.If starting pitching is going to get these Nats over the .500 hump it will have to come from Zimmermann, Detwiler, Yuniesky and Mock with the addition of Gorzelanny … and not from Livo, Marquis and Lannan. Those last three cannot go up against the best pitcher of any NL East team and expect to win. But those first five just might …
- phil .dunn - Feb 28, 2011 at 2:10 AM
This sounds promising. It looks like Rizzo has disposed of all the bad eggs that Bowden acquired.
- Carl in 309 - Feb 28, 2011 at 2:51 AM
While Spring Training is the time to be optimistic (hope Springs eternal), and it is a reality that most teams have this professionalism built into their culture (years of MLB abuse denied us that foundation), it is heartening to read that we have quality players available for 25 roster spots. It means in essence that the Nationals have gotten back to even. It can give us hope but doesn't mean we're entitled to win 81 games. Still,it adds greater urgency for me to hurry home from Asia to catch a late March spring training game and see these guys for real. Mark, eager to read one or two more cuts on this angle of Nats development between now and the trip North.

Watching the Yankees game from this afternoon on time delay on the MLB Network. In the 7th inning, Domonic Brown just struck out for the 3rd time on another up and in swing and miss.It is the Yankees broadcasters who started a discussion on the Phillies losing Jayson Werth and how it is going to cost the Phillies in offense. They praised the Nationals on getting Jayson Werth too.

Is it just me or is Riggleman sending out the wrong body language discussing Elvin Ramirez? He swivels his chair back and forth in a way that makes me think he wishes Ramirez wasn't there for him to have to worry about?
- SonnyG10 - Feb 28, 2011 at 3:52 AM
In my two days at ST, I thought everything seemed well organized and was running smoothly. Since this was my first trip ever to ST, I didn't have anything to compare it to. It's nice to read your perspective, Mark.
- Doc - Feb 28, 2011 at 5:18 AM
As for the Riggleman interview, to me it's obvious that he was surprised by Ramirez's stuff and didn't know quite what to disclose to the press. He's got a lot of quality guys in the BP with more seniority, and here's Ramirez, a Rule 5 draftee, with what appears to be as much quality stuff as any of them.Afterall, with managers and the press it's a cat and mouse game, where managers only disclose to the press as little as they want them to know. They don't want the press to get ahead of them—which is what good reporters eventually do anyway.
- JayB - Feb 28, 2011 at 9:53 AM
SonnyG…..In the Acta days….Spring Training was a joke….no all his fault…Lastings and Dukes types mixed with Lopez types…..nobody was on the same page….just going through motions or not trying at all….I have told the story about Milledge goofing in CF drills….trying to not to move and seeing if the fungo hitter can get it too him….Acta watching it and doing nothing…..I can not wait to get home tonight and see some Nats Baseball…..I think it is going to look very different this year. New TV guy…..heard him on MLB XM Radio….not very politically correct about his drinking habits…..I think he is going to put his foot in his mouth very early…..steroid guy too…..should be interesting!

After watching the Mets and Braves for 2 straight days, I can say that the Nats look to be the more athletic team of these 3. And our pitching staff is better than than the Mets but a notch below the Braves although Jamir Juergens didn't show much Saturday.

Hold on NatsJack, our two Visa boys aren't here yet. Wait'll they start bringin the gas. You might change your tune about pitching staffs.Hows Marrero and Kimball look?
- NatsJack in Florida - Feb 28, 2011 at 1:49 PM
Kimball looks great and Marrero looks like a DH.Almost every Brave pitcher under the age of 24 throws gas. And I'll take Tim Hudson and Tommy Hanson as starters over just about anybody we have.
- JayB - Feb 28, 2011 at 1:55 PM
I would be trying to trade Lannan, Livo, Jason M to Yanks and Cards….with cash for whatever you can get…..This team needs starters who can hit at least 92 MPH….make some of the reliever long jam into starting options….Clippard could do it.
- fpcsteve - Feb 28, 2011 at 2:19 PM
Interesing take on Marrero. Consistent, too. I have never seen him, but all the reports indicate he is an AL player. I can imagine the circumstances where he is traded during this season. For? Apparently more pitching or a CF prospect depending on how the big club is doing.
- NatinBeantown - Feb 28, 2011 at 2:23 PM
Anon at 9:06 (re: Garrett Mock),Yes, there is a reason Mock is still in this team's camp–he's still pretty young, and still has a live arm. There's a decent chance he can turn into a very useful pitcher for the Nats or someone else.I think Mark's point is that in previous years, that potential and raw talent would be enough (and last year, was enough) for Mock to crack the 25-man and head north to DC. Now, even with a great spring, he's got to produce and outperform at least 5 guys, many with as much talent. It's a nice place to be (finally).

- NatinBeantown - Feb 28, 2011 at 2:31 PM
Another thing I'm looking forward to in future Rizzo camps is the diminished presense of guys like Lannan and Livo (or Maya and Rosenbaum) as change of pace, "location" pitchers–aka the "soft tossers." I say that as a guy whose favorite Nats include those first two.One spot in the rotation can switch up the rotation and give the team an edge, but unfortunately we've generally had a rotation with 4-5 of these types as a rule. Rizzo is building a stable of arms to change that.

There's JayB, Mr. "I hate personal attacks" himself, slandering the new Nats broadcaster before he's even uttered one word on their air. Typical JayB.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Feb 28, 2011 at 3:13 PM
@anon 9:38, please get a grip. Negative reviews aren't all ad hominem attacks. Yours just make Jayb look sympathetic, which I assume is not your goal.
- Anonymous - Feb 28, 2011 at 3:30 PM
Yeah, all JayB did was call the broadcaster a drunk and a juicer. Nothing ad hominem about that, of course. Because if it was, then the guy calling JayB a stoner yesterday would have been making an ad hominem attack too, and JayB would have been upset. Such a sympathetic character he is.
- Sunderland - Feb 28, 2011 at 3:30 PM
Thanks 1a, glad to see that the new radio deal is announced and official.
- Rat Man - Feb 28, 2011 at 4:37 PM
The Nats are probably nervous about starting 10-24 with the season collapsing like an apartment building in Port-au-Prince in an earthquake.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Feb 28, 2011 at 6:58 PM
No, he did not call him a drunk, and Santangelo was named in the Mitchell Report, so referring to it might be rude, but it isn't slander. Jayb has been over the line sometimes, IMO, and I said so at the time, but Mark just got done asking you to take it outside. You are out of line here. Please stop. No one is amused.

Before anyone gets hyped up about Mock's 'stuff', remember he still doesn't throw strikes.

Overview: The commerce landscape has changed drastically in the last 10 years, and since the Internet gave birth to the likes of e-commerce sites and social media, customers now more than ever expect businesses to go the extra mile to maintain their custom. With competitors just a click away, understanding customer behavior and improving customer experience has never been more critical. Reducing customer struggle is no easy feat, especially as each individual customer faces a deluge of different struggles in a multitude of different platforms. But understanding customers is half the battle. In the latest IBM Tealeaf and Econsultancy 2013 "Reducing Customer Struggle" report, 44% of businesses said they had a good or excellent understanding of the overall customer experience.

Where are the overall performance charts? I've been asking for these sort of charts since pts was in beta. These sort of articles are useful for individual metrics but are useless for the average reader who is just trying to choose the best overall.
If you take the time to tabulate and average out relative performance, you will see that NILFS2 was the best overall for a HDD, but reading this article won't tell you that. Is this so much to ask from pts?
I also find it hard to work out which is the best solution. I think it would be best to order results with best performance at the top. The current disorder is infinitely harder to analyse.
I don't have the ability to mkfs a btrfs filesystem unless I go in search of the utilities and compile them myself but I did have a quick read of the btrfs source from 2.6.37 and there are several options there relating to SSDs. There's ssd, ssd_spread, nossd and discard. These all seem to be set independently and the info in Documentation/filesystems/btrfs.txt says that discard is not default. Running `mount` would get it to tell you what options were actually in effect though and I would expect it to say both ssd and discard if both were in effect - ssd does not seem to imply or set discard. I also looked at Documentation/filesystems/nilfs.txt and that also says that nodiscard is default.
ntfs might have been a nice part. i think many ppl use it on mass storages for usability with windoze
JFS does not have an option for turning on barriers, and it does not use any barriers at all, as near as I can tell from searching the code for WRITE_FLUSH, or blkdev_issue_flush().
That's my main problem with the Phoronix benchmarks. It doesn't compare apples and oranges, but instead uses the "default options", which aren't the same across file systems. The fact that it is apparently running with the garbage collector off for nilfs2 also will give very misleading results. File systems that use a copy-on-write also have a tendency to fragment their freespace very badly --- but that's something that doesn't show up if you just do a free mkfs of the file system between each benchmark run, and you don't try to simulate any kind of file system aging before starting the test.
As with all benchmarks, you need to take them with a huge grain of salt.
That's done because most people just use the defaults given to them by upstream or their distribution so it's try to meant to be a real world comparison - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item&px=OTE4OQ
If you would like to recommend a particular set of mount options for each file-system, I would be happy to carry out such tests under those conditions as well to complement the default options.
The cleaner was running, but not quick enough for dbench, I assume a bug in that for NILFS2.

The problem with that is that with barrier off, you can lose data --- especially if the system is very busy, and you crash while the disk is thrashing. Disks can sometimes delay writing blocks for full seconds; if you're sending lots of disk traffic to the end of the disk (i.e., a very high block number), and then you update a critical file system metadata block at the beginning of the disk (i.e., a very low block number), and then go back to sending lots of disk writes to the end of the disk, the hard drive can decide that it will avoid seeking to the beginning of the disk, keep it in its volatile RAM cache on the disk, and then focus on handling the writes at the end of the disk. If power drops, the critical file system metadata update could be lost forever. This is why barriers are important.
Given that very few people are using reiserfs and JFS from distributions, and those file systems are effectively unmaintained, no one has bothered to fix them so they use barriers either by default, or at all. JFS doesn't have the ability to use barriers at all. In the case of reiserfs, Chris Mason submitted a patch 4 years ago to turn on barriers by default, but Hans Reiser vetoed it. Apparently, to Hans, winning the benchmark demolition derby was more important than his user's data. (It's a sad fact that sometimes the desire to win benchmark competition will cause developers to cheat, sometimes at the expense of their users.)
In the case of ext3, it's actually an interesting story. Both Red Hat and SuSE turn on barriers by default in their Enterprise kernels. SuSE, to its credit, did this earlier than Red Hat. We tried to get the default changed in ext3, but it was overruled by Andrew Morton, on the grounds that it would represent a big performance loss, and he didn't think the corruption happened all that often --- despite the fact that Chris Mason had developed a python program that would reliably corrupt an ext3 file system if you ran it and then pulled the power plug. I suppose we should try again to have the default changed, now that Jan Kara is the official ext3 maintainer, and he works at SuSE.
So when you say, "it's the default as it comes from the distribution", that can be a bit misleading. The Enterprise distro's change the defaults, for safety's sake. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if SuSE forced Reiserfs to use barriers by default when shipped in their Enterprise product, given that they were going to support it and paying customers generally get upset when their file systems get fragged. (Also because Chris Mason worked at SuSE when he submitted the reiserfs barrier patch that got vetoed by Hans.) So just because it is one way as shipped by a community distribution, or from upstream, doesn't necessarily that is the way enterprise distros will ship things when paying customers have real money on the line.
If people are just simply reading your reports for entertainment's sake, that's one thing. But if you don't warn them about the dangers of the default options, and they make choices to use a file system based on your report --- should you feel any concern? I suppose that's between you and your conscience and/or your sense of journalistic integrity....

Nov 27, 2011 | Release | |||
Chris2012s Whiterun HQ Texture Pack This is a high-quality texturing mod (currently for Whiterun). As you can see in the comparison pictures, i try to keep the same feel to the textures while having actual quality instead of bluriness. Some are actually redrawn at 4 times the resolution of the original file. Textures are 2048x2048 and 1024x2048. Here you can see a before/after comparison of different sections of the Whiterun Town:... |
