Jul 31, 2011funny is the word. serious is the tone. and very little action i didn't expect that. this movie is toned down by political overtones. its okay. but it will grow on you in the near future. Machete was a hero and legend. Lindsay lohan gets naked YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Sep 11, 2010"Machete" Loaded with strange humor and gratuitous violence, Rodriguez knows what his fans want. There may not be much substance here, but the film's attitude doesn't have time for sense. Likable enough characters and good performances are throughout the film...recommended

Sep 4, 2010I actually wanna give this a 9.5 just because i was counting on it to be more apart of "grindhouse" where the initial trailer came from. it did not have the film scratches and stuff that it had. also i was hopin that Tarentino was gonna help out a some, but he ddnt. but i was not dissapointed. IT WAS AWESOME.
Sep 15, 2011The B-movie "Machete", based on the fake trailer in "Planet Terror", gives nothing new but blood and gore. However, "Machete", which has a more clear story and objective, is an exception

Sep 5, 2010This movie was horrid, if you like this then you need help. It started bad ended bad. Whoever decided to put Lindsy Lohan in this movie needs to get mental help as well. Every single seen with her just made the movie get more worse then it already was. Want a real action Movie then watch The Expendables.
Sep 4, 2010Very good movie. Very unique and very very bloody. It's good to see Trejo do well in a lead role. Jessica and Michelle were smokin' hot. I would kiss both of their faces. Lindsey Lohan...well at least she's working again.

Sep 3, 2010I am definitely planning to watch this movie this weekend. Machete's cast are all first rate, there is something for everyone like eye-candy for the guys, eye-candy for the ladies; and lots of macho action and adrenaline. The typecast and cliche's are a smart and clever ingredient to be exploited. Machete's seems to have all the ingredients to be an iconic movie, like pulp fiction.
Sep 27, 2010This movie is so bad it's good. Rodriguez tosses in every cliche and stereotype he can think of resulting in one hot mess of a movie. Interspersed are populace messages replete with good old fashioned hatred of the man (right on baby!). The problem is this genre has been dredged up so much that it's no longer a novelty.
Feb 12, 2011This movie is a caricature sort of like grindhouse series, however, the movie is horrible. I gave it a 3 because of Alba is worth a 3. This movie is simply stupid from beginning to end. The ending is horrible. I liked Grindhouse, obviously I did not like this but YMMV.
Sep 6, 2010Robert Rodriquez new film is one of the most entertaining films of the fall. It is fun, bloody, messy; every action-loving viewer should run to the nearest cinema and experience it for themselves.
Sep 10, 2010
Sep 15, 2010I couldn't even be bothered to give this horrible film a one star rating. This film will cater to lowly people and thugs everywhere, Most of those who are gang affiliated or maybe just someone who enjoys watching Danny Trejo's washed up acting career.
Oct 9, 2010"Machete Running a tired-less 105 mins that felt like it never ended. Danny Trejo is a very talented actor but even he can't save this movie , Robert Rodriquez has a good style and authenticity , but i felt the movie drabbed , lacked and was boring" .. C-
Oct 6, 2010
Oct 8, 2010This movie is some sort of a gimmick and a (strange) kind of tribute to the westerns of the 60s and the B-movies from those days. It didn't work for me. The exaggerated violence and blood is boring and given that the movie is build on this and some chicks in short skirts, it is not worth losing 2 hours of your life for. Bad, really bad stuff.
Oct 8, 2010Rodriguez's worst movie. Piece of crap that had to be packed with celebrities to get butts in the seats. Who cares if it's an amazing cast if the script and dialogue are crap?
The Jessica Alba almost nude scene is doctored also...she was wearing a bikini and they just erased it on the computer after they shot it. Bad. Bad. Bad. -
Dec 7, 2010I was expecting Machete to rival planet terror but it just seems to be missing something. It doesn't feel as Grindhouse. It's certainly entertaining but nothing special
Jan 7, 2011What a pile of sh*t. First film I walked out of since Catwoman. Rodriguez needs to learn how to direct. the infamous "it's a homage to 60s films" crud only goes so far.

Jan 11, 2011Well, there is an hour of my life I'll never get back. I can't believe the quality of actors this movie contains and to turn out a B or even a C movie.
What a disappointment -
Apr 19, 2011
May 31, 2011Bad, and not in a good way. No, I didn't misunderstand the film, but what a perfect way to waste the talent of an all-star cast! It's comical to a point, which is the films strong suit, but eventually it just stops being funny and slumps into TOO MUCH over the top action and gore. What a disappointment!

Jul 30, 2013Very good for a trash movie blood and guts everywhere. Plot is very simple and even stupid but such kind of movies does not need it much. Awesome crew Michelle Rodrigues, Dennie Trecho, Jessica Alba, Steplen Sigal. Only Lindsey Lochan looks like on drugs. But she is actually on drugs in movie and in real life too. You should watch this, if you like blood meatgrinder like Crank.
Mar 11, 2014i love danny trejo as the guy who kicks ass and gets the woman . but i love the sequel more it has more violence this one is okay i guess what is there to look forward in this movie .
Oct 3, 2010"Machete" is a blood-soaked adventure starring a ruthless, brutal killing machine. Despite the circumstances and concepts, those who watch should not let the amputations and blood baths deprive from the message and impact the storyline exudes to the audience on the controversial topic pertaining to immigration. Oh, and you see Lindsay Lohan's boobs.

Oct 1, 2010I LOVED this movie! Can't wait til it comes out so I can buy it. It has every campy thing you can imagine and is such good entertainment! If you liked Desperado, you will love this!
Sep 19, 2010Machete isn't a wonderful movie for Rodriguez compared with his previous movie 'Planet Terror'. Although two movies are insanely violent, Machete is quite boring and even tedious than Planet Terror.
Sep 25, 2010I liked Machete very much. It was definitely a fun thrill ride. Machete also had an A list cast, including Robert DeNiro. The one flaw I believe this movie has, is the overusage of the parody type movie. However, the action is sick. The acting may not be the best, but this could Lindsay Lohan's ticket back in Hollywood.

Oct 25, 2010This movie is bad ass and hilarious. Obviously the people who didn't like this movie are not bad asses and do not have a good sense of humor. I'm not a huge Jessica Alba fan and some parts were a little too much, but Machete's character is perfect. No one could have played the role better than Danny Trejo.
Oct 29, 2010Mix up some tough Mexicans, bloody action, a lo-fi appearance and Robert Rodriguez and you'll get this tasty soup. Not bad even though not his best movie (Sin City stills on top).
Jan 8, 2011What a wonderful grindhouse tribute! It has all the things you love and would want, but then there is that odd little subplot with politics involved. An interesting move, and let's face it- Dany Trejo is amazing and has enough of a following to get the buzz going. Shock and gore aside, there is a fun feeling all over this film, like the cast and crew had a lot of fun making it. It's a fun ride.
Jan 5, 2011
Jan 2, 2011As the critic analysis says, Machete can't be taken seriously and it is nothing but fun, gore, and cartoonish violence. A great summer blockbuster.
Jan 7, 2011The situation in the movie is a conspiracy of capitalists and political hardliners against Mexican immigration. Unfortunately, the showdown is too dumb and therefore disappoints greater expectations. However, the movie is fast-paced and holds some hilarious moments. Worth watching.
Jan 23, 2011One of the best movies of 2010. This is what a movie is all about, not nonsense like Black Swan or Inception. Action pack fun through out the whole movie.
Feb 6, 2011This is an expertly crafted trash movie that I have always loved but no one does it better than Rodriquez. High on octane and will last repeated viewings. Only the final gun battle scene really gets out of order and silly but you can say that for the rest of the film too.
Mar 17, 2011I think Machete is pure B-movie: exploitation, sex, blood, gore, cheesy CGI and plot. But it's entertaining, funny and have cool music. Pretty watchable.

Oct 25, 2011
Dec 27, 2011"Machete" One Line Review! B+!
It's one of the most ridiculous and entertaining things I've ever watched, a throw back to action flicks of yesteryear. Do not go if you have a weak stomach, lots of gore. Gets a B+! -
Sep 22, 2011Very funny up until about halfway, then you wish it was over. At least Planet Terror keeps your attention. Robert Rodriguez is wasting his time with projects like this. Is Sin City 2 ever going to come out? Or better yet is Robert Rodriguez ever going to make a original, creative movie like Desperado again?
Aug 3, 2011This one was good. The cast were made of talented people just as Robert De Niro and Danny Trejo. The violence was high but it was what made this movie cool. I cant stop thinking about that gut ripping-swinging scene in the hospital. Really good action in this one...
Feb 9, 2013The acting is so bad that it's laughable and trust me, I laughed many times. Trejo is the only decent part of the cast, Mainly because he doesn't have much in terms of dialogue. The gory action is entertaining to watch but Machete is still quite possibly the stupidest movie of all time.
May 16, 2012It has explosions. It has hot chicks. It has a mindless shootings. It has striking catchphrases. What do you need more than this to have fun? For me, nothing. It's a incrible movie.
Jan 26, 2014He's fun by moments but bad at all...........................................................................................................................................
Jul 15, 2012Machete is bloody, crazy fun. It's not meant to be taken seriously. Steven Segal is the most over the top, terrible actor, and his portrayal of the movie's main antagonist is actually incredibly funny. I hope it was intentional. In truth, Machete should be considered a comedy. And it's so bad it's actually really good.
Aug 25, 2012I watched this film with little expectation but was shocked to find that I loved the film. It is almost a parody of many poor action films and doesn't try to be anything it isn't. A phenomenal cast is led fantastically by Danny Trejo and I would love it if they made a sequel.
Nov 7, 2012A combination of literally gut-spewing violence, hot girls, and some wacko political agendas make for one hell of a film that's guaranteed to entertain.
Mar 23, 2013
Nov 28, 2012The kind of film many B-Movie filmmakers have always wanted to make but have never come close, "Machete" is silly, simple, and incessant . . . in the best way possible.
Mar 18, 2013You can look at this film four different ways. 1) You can see it as a gleeful everyday stylized action thrilling film 2) You can see it as a sentimental revenge flick 3) You can see it as another great and strong direction by Rodriguez or 4) You can see it as a chance to teach Jessica Alba on how you pronounce Machete.
Feb 8, 2014
Feb 3, 2013this is really baaad Film from director of sincity this film is wayesting time in every direction i want throughout this film to trash iam intesting how should be possible someone take 8 or 7 to this film from my openion this film should give 1 or maximum 2
Mar 29, 2013Machete is mindless, gory, and cheesy. Which is exactly what it's suppose to be. The film wasn't intended to be great story, with compelling acting. It's a b-movie, these films are suppose to be over the top gore, mindless action, sexy girls, and with poor to average acting, not meant to be taken seriously. For what it is, Machete is a great movie
Jul 18, 2013An all around fun B action movie. This film is supposed to be campy and ridiculous, but unlike movies like the Expendables this has a interesting script that works. I've never seen Intestines used in such a way. B+
Jun 29, 2013
Jul 28, 2013A generic action movie with a good cast. The story is ok and the characters could use some work. If you're looking for an action movie to blow off some steam this is for you.
Jan 22, 2014This feels like two films in one. The first being the portions seen in the 'Grindhouse' trailer; explosions, sex, violence. The second a weak inner conflict between a man and his past. While this could have been good, its only so-so.
Mar 4, 2014Great fun, and after a strong start, I thought I was in for a treat, but it slowly went downhill. There's only so much tongue in cheek I can take before it grates on me, and not even the last action scene can make up for that. A few other issues and plot holes throughout, so it doesn't surpass an average solid action film for me.
Mar 15, 2015Wow there is so many things wrong in that movie it's just impossible.The acting is not that good,the lines are cheesy and the action sequences are full of bad CGI.But the movie is supposed to be like that and he is enjoyable with all the gore.
Nov 22, 2014Great star studded cast in Machete. It seems like this movie is full of big names but it manages to surpise as many movies with this much star power become flops. Danny Trejo plays a role that we expect from him, just an all out badass killing anything that interferes with him. This film obviously generated some Tarantino influence but its not a complete ripoff, it is its own thing.
Any movie that finds a plausible reason to give Lindsay Lohan a nun's habit and a machine gun is worth your attention.
Machete is insanely violent, insanely over-the-top. It's pretty much flat-out insane.
In the end, Machete may not be all that original, but it is fresh – fresh as a steel blade to the gut.

Ive had my other hair dryer for over 15 years now and still continues to work just as well as when I first bought it! These are by far the best hair dryers in the world! So durable and sturdy too!

NicoleWashington, DcSuper SolanoMine just died after 3 years of use. I bought one for my sister too and hers died on its 2 year anniversary. It worked awesome the first year, but I could tell it was going downhill month after month. Overall, I was extremely happy with it (although, it was a bit heavy) and almost purchased another one until I settled on buying the CHI Rocket (after reading reviews). Im looking forward to comparing the two.posted Aug 16, 2006Link to this post

M. GrahamFloridaGreat Blow DryerI just got this blow dryer and I noticed a big difference from the other blow dryers Ive had. This blow dryer is excellent! I get professional results. It blows a lot of air to get your hair to dry quickly. I use this dryer with a Denman brush and get straight bouncy hair. I brush in the direction of where my hair blows to avoid freezies. Make sure you put some serum on before you blow dry to avoid split ends. After blow drying, I go over with a ceramic flat iron to get my hair silky. The speeds on the dryer are great. If you are looking for a good blow dryer, look no further. Get a solano!posted Feb 27, 2006Link to this post
TameraGrass Valley, CaliforniaHappy With My Super SolanoIve been using my Super Solano hairdryer daily for over a year, and with a little maintenance I havent had any problems with it. Ninety to $100.00 is not a lot to pay for a good, salon quality hair dryer (think of it like a pair of shoes that you wear often, or changing the oil in your car). This is a machine that uses high heat and velocity to dry hair, and if you neglect keeping the filter clean (about every other use or so) or wrap the cord too tightly around it for storage, youll end up with a dead hair dryer. One thing you can do to prolong the life of any hair dryer is to use the hose attachment on your vacuum cleaner to clean out any lint or dust your dryer pulls into it. High velocity hair dryers use quite a bit of suction to force air through them, and pull in all sorts of debris that the filter cant catch. I own other expensive high end salon brands, but the Solano is my favorite. The balance is good and the air flow nozzle concentrates on the section of hair that I want dried without getting too hot. My hair is very long and this hair dryer styles it well.posted Jan 2, 2006Link to this post

St. Tropez At-a-Glance
Strengths: Good body wash and body scrub; well-formulated Skin Illuminator; some intriguing tools to make self-tanner application easier.
Weaknesses: Expensive, and the self-tanning products are not superior to those that cost a lot less; almost all of the self-tanning and bronzing products contain fragrance chemicals that cause irritation, which hurts your skin's ability to heal and act younger.
St. Tropez (pronounced "Saint Tro-pay") claims first and foremost to be all about getting a safe, sexy tan from self-tanners, but loading up your skin with fragrance that causes irritation runs a close second!
It isn't often that we rate self-tanning products poorly; after all, the vast majority of them use the same one or two ingredients (dihydroxyacetone and/or erythrulose) to turn your skin tan. And, most of them are formulated in pleasant, although basic, lotion, cream, gel, or liquid (aerosol) bases to make application smooth. Generally, the formulations of self-tanning products are a minor detail; much more important is your technique in applying it.
We rate almost all of St. Tropez's self-tanning options poorly because they contain numerous fragrance chemicals known to cause irritation. Examples of such ingredients are eugenol, citral, linalool, and limonene.
If a leave-on product contains only one or two of these fragrance chemicals and only low amounts, it's not a deal-breaker for your skin, but when several of them are present, even in low amounts, the combination can add up to an incredibly irritating product that hurts your skin.
What kind of hurt? Daily, chronic irritation from the litany of fragrance chemicals in these St. Tropez products can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135 and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22.)
Given that this group of products is unusually expensive and that it puts your skin at risk of irritation: Why bother? Besides, there are hundreds of self-tanners and bronzers that do not contain these problematic ingredients—so you can enjoy a sunless tan knowing that you're continuing to take the best possible care of your skin!

This is where it starts, in a classroom with a group of youths, laughing, teasing each other, working on posters to activate volunteers. The facilitator calls them to order, to share what they've discussed. The youths debate passionately. Some are intimate with the topic, having gone through it themselves. One talks about inclusion, and the importance of respect. Another argues for the opportunity to show their abilities. What about our health, pipes up another. They show off their brightly designed posters. After a rallying cheer, they pose for a group photo, united in yet another rewarding session.
This is where ideas are seeded. This is where leaders are bred.
A platform to engage youths with and without intellectual disabilities, the Athlete Leadership Program (ALP) provides educational programs for Special Olympics athletes in a variety of leadership topics, develops their interpersonal skills, builds up their self esteem and moulds them into well- rounded individuals. Youth leaders unite with athletes in meaningful experiences, helping them gain a better perspective of Special Olympics' work. Armed with this knowledge, they can then create attitude change attitudes in communities.Globally, ALPs participation stands at 28,896, as of 2011. In Asia Pacific, the Program is in its infancy, with 1,435 participants. The region is working on introducing ALPs in more Asia Pacific countries. One such Program is Special Olympics Indonesia.
Special Olympics Indonesia started ALPs in 2002, but lacked the manpower and funds to fully develop the Program. In 2011, the Program relaunched its activities, with a multi- pronged approach to increase athlete and volunteer membership, and corporate sponsorships.To engage athletes, it ran monthly speaking clubs, with various topics like Volunteering and Divisioning, poster making activities, and photo sessions. They conducted a series of 'ALPs goes to school', visiting five special schools in three months, to explain the concept to students. To engage youth and seek volunteers, The program staff spoke at the local Tarumanagara University's school of Physiology, introducing Special Olympics' mission and explaining how they students could help ALPs activities. Special Olympics Indonesia reached out to families as well, speaking in a seminar to urge parents of children with intellectual disability to register them to with the ALPs speaking club.
The reinvigorated effort is led by volunteer Anastasia Retno (Nana), and she is passionate about progressing ALPs involvement in Indonesia. She shares her thoughts on the process:
What are the difficulties Special Olympics Indonesia has running the program? How do you overcome them?Lack of funds to run the activities is a major challenge. Special Olympics Indonesia concentrates its existing funds on sport activities, understandably a top priority. So there is not much left funds for ALPs activities. We're fortunate to run our Jakarta events at no cost, parents of athletes sponsor meals, universities provide classroom venues, volunteers provide transportation. If we extend the ALPs events to other provinces in Indonesia, we will need funding for the activities.
Do you see improvement in ALPs athletes? We have two athletes, Yofan Aditya, and Rizka Feryani, who have been withthe ALPs Speaking Club since its early days.
Yofan is a great speaker, opinionated and proactive. He attended the Global Youth Activation Summit at the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, and benefitted greatly from the experience. These days, I can brief him just an hour before the event. With Rizka, it takes longer to encourage her to open up and talk about her athlete experience on stage. But she's progressed well since the Special Olympics Asia Pacific Leaders Conference in April.
Can you share with us: what was a rewarding moment for you during the ALPs process?I have many! The most rewarding moment for me is the athletes' enthusiasm. I get their calls and texts, asking "Sis Nana, when is the next Speaking Club?" That question makes me realize how much ALPs means to them.
During discussions, I am amazed by the athletes' answers; they are proud of their achievements and are free with their opinions. I have great support from Special Olympics Indonesia's Board members, athlete families, coaches and volunteers. It makes me want to keep going for the Program's success!
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

John,That is a nice looking pizza. Since many of our members do not know how to work off of just baker's percents, can you provide the actual weights and/or volume amounts you actually used?Peter
Using baking percentages, each ingredient is stated (as a percentage) in relation to flour (which will be 100%). So, to figure how much oil to put in your recipe (your example), you take the amount of flour you are using by weight and multiply it by 4.3% (that is .043).John

This was a small community effort in the memory of my sister, Doreen, who lost her fight to PPH 6 years ago.The fish was perfectly cooked and delicious! We had about 35 volunteers helping with selling tickets, setting up the hall, buying, cooking, serving, cleaning. Everyone did a fantastic job and the cooks looked great in their "Cookin' Up a Cure" aprons. My mom did a phenomenal job in selling tickets (at least 150) and getting additional donations from those that couldn't attend. My sister Doreen would have been proud. When she was still with us she used to say that she wished she could win the lottery so that she could give a million dollars to PHA for research in finding a cure. We'll never reach that amount, but we're doing what we can! We are tentatively planning to do it again next year!

text: Mario Draghi was informed of doubts raised byBank of Italy inspectors about the Monte dei Paschi bank but had little control over what has been widely criticised as ineffective oversight of the scandal-hit lender. The roots of the corruption and derivatives scandal at Monte dei Paschi all stem back to when Draghi, now president of the European Central Bank, was chief of Italy's central bank from 2006 to 2011. The Bank of Italy (BoI) says it did everything in its powers to oversee Monte Paschi, including forcing it to raise new capital and applying behind the scenes pressure to force out its executives, who left last year. Last month, the BoI approved 3.9 billion euros ($5.3 billion) of state loans needed by the ailing Siena bank to shore up its capital. But the BoI, under Draghi's leadership, is under fire for not acting faster to sanction those managers and centre of the scandal back in mid-2010. The criticism has come from Monte Paschi shareholders, savers and politicians fired up by the campaign for a national election this month, but also from some banking and regulation experts. However, the senior BoI source stressed that the decision on launching a sanctions procedure, involving publicly blaming and fining bank officials, does not depend on the BoI governor and its five member executive board, but on the bank's inspectors and then a series of lower committees. "The inspectors are the only people responsible for initiating a sanctions procedure so if they don't find anything in the course of their inspection then it's not possible for the top management to start the process," said the source, who asked not to be named. "We instruct the staff to be absolutely free from any influence from us, to present exactly the case, so if a sanction is decided then they present a proposal to the board and the board decides on the actual implementation of the sanctions." In the summer of 2010 BoI inspectors uncovered two opaque derivatives contracts that could cost Monte Paschi 720 million euros and are now at the centre of fraud investigations, yet did not propose that sanctions be launched. That decision "had nothing to do with the board," the official said, though he added that Draghi was shown the inspectors report. He declined to say whether he thought it was a good decision not to propose sanctions at that time. SLOW BUT DELIBERATE That 2010 inspectors' report was leaked to the press and sparked much of the current criticism of the BoI because the sharp criticisms of Monte Paschi's accounts and operations made by the inspectors were not followed by pressing action. The BoI did not summon Monte Paschi's executives, now under make its doubts public even though its inspectors had spotted the derivatives contracts at the criminal investigation, until November 2011, after Draghi had left to head the ECB. It did not launch a sanctions procedure - which is still not completed - until the following year, after the officials had left the bank. Monte Paschi's shareholders did not find out about the irregularities until last month. The Bank of Italy said it informed Siena prosecutors about their concerns over the derivatives contracts some time in 2012, but the prosecutors had already been investigating Monte Paschi since November of the previous year, and possibly earlier"We may perhaps appear to be slow, but I think we are deliberate," the official said. He also stressed that although Monte Paschi failed to comply with the BoI's requests, the wrongdoing was already done at the time of the 2010 inspection. I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA

Comments On Jul 31, 2013:I paired these glove liners with some Fox Racing Bomber gloves. They do make the gloves fit a bit tight, but help a lot when you don't get to ride much and don't have callouses.
You feel absolutely NO seams, because there are none, it's really neat.
Just make sure you give yourself extra time when riding with people if you take your gloves off, and watch out for velcro! Velcro eats these liners.

Comments On Jun 13, 2012:Different material than the Underwaers and Moose brands (which are exactly the same ones). The MSR are made of a poly blend and the others are a kevlar blend. You would think the kevlar ones would last longer but that's not the case. The MSR also form fit your hands better making a better fit inside the glove. OH, they do what they are suppossed to too. I have wussy hands and I don't get blisters!

Comments On Nov 23, 2011:I was surprised at how thin they are. I was able to wear the same size glove with these liners as I used without them. My first ride with them I went 90 miles (dirt bike on desert trails) and had zero blisters. Very pleased with the purchase. Will buy more when these wear out.

Comments On Jul 01, 2011:These gloves preformed great, I used them on the Idaho City 100 this year and was very pleased after 7 hours and a 100+ miles of non stop mountain riding I had no blisters and my hands stayed relatively cool.

Comments On Jan 29, 2011:I was sceptical about these,now im glad i got em!!I don't get blister's often,more than anything i got these to keep my glove's from bunching up on long ride's,these work well!!Rode 7 hour's today at race training pace and these liner's really work well in wet condition's.Kept my glove's from bunching up when wet and seem to wick the moisture away from skin,very cool!!Seem well made and fit perfect,order same size as your glove's and should be good to go.Another cool product from the off road legend!!

Comments On Dec 10, 2010:just like the title says, they fit one size tight. I am all for snug, but these are a bit beyond. Also, catching them on glove or jacket velcro will cause them to pull apart early. currently have about 20 hours on one pair, and expect they may make it to 30.

I dont get what is so problematic with floating point. Even Debian enables it by default for since 2011-09-24.
s3tc is only a tiny problem - first of all when you use precompressed textures it does not matter at all when only s2tc is installed. s2tc could look a bit worse than s3tc but even Ubuntu ships it by default now - and current Kanotix test images do as well.
Ok, there is OpenGL 4, but when you forget Unigine engine which Linux game uses it? Most likely no major game at all. I just want more complete OpenGL 3 support that at least Doom 3 BFG (via wine or RBDoom3) or Rage can run. Speed is a much more interesting thing - mainly Intel is too slow compared to Win drivers when you play games (if they run) - when you forget the extra simple OSS games - a game with > 60 fps @ 1080p is boring to benchmark anyway when it is locked to 60 fps without benchmark mode. Ok, you can buy 120 hz tft but how many use em? Nouveau is nice to have but it is not critical for gaming as you can still can use Nv 304 drivers for Geforce 6/7 on current distros. Ok, then when you look at radeon, those drivers are a requirement for cards below HD 2000 or when you want to use a newer xserver than 1.12. Basically you gain nothing with a new xserver for binary drivers so you could still downgrade it and you lose nothing - not so nice to do however but basically possible.

The Palm Sunday Tornadoes of 1965 are recorded as one of the deadliest, most destructive tornado outbreaks to ever strike this country. Stretching from Iowa to Ohio, it claimed more than 200 lives, most of them in Indiana, and left behind millions of dollars worth of damage.
Although Delaware County was spared, the tornadoes hit several Indiana counties, some of them close to the Muncie area.
Grant County was one of the areas hit, and there is actual cleanup footage from that area, including at the Veterans Administration Hospital.
Ball State University Libraries uncovered film, displaying extensive damage and cleanup efforts around the state. Visit thestarpress.com to watch incredible film captured from the aftermath.

We bought one of these (well, similar) for our kids, but after the first week they wouldn't have anything to do with it. Too many bees and spiders inside, no matter what we did. *shudders* YMMV, of course.
The whole 'Tiny House' craze is getting out of hand...

that's the first thing I thought of... spiders and bugs in there.
We bought this (or a very similar model) from Costco in the Fall of 2008 for nearly $300. It was not easy to assemble, but completely worth it. We put it in the garage for the winter, but I would estimate that it sits outside about 8 months out of the year, and it still looks great, even 5 years later. The plastic roof is very durable, and has faded a bit over time, but still looks good. The wood is also very tough, and weathers well. We give the playhouse a hose-down before putting it in the garage, but that is it for maintenance. The 'windows' and door still easily open and close (no warping), and there is a little plastic latch built into the door handle that lets you fasten the door shut. Both of my children *love* this playhouse. There are occasional spiders and such inside, but they just swat them away. Many of the neighborhood kids come over to play in it (with my children) as well. We have even had neighbors ask to buy it off of us when my children eventually outgrow it.
We bought this house from Woot last year (same price). We bring it into the garage over winter, but after a punishing spring/summer season in direct sun it still looks new. Our kids like to draw on it with chalk, and so far the wood has held up beautifully to the abuse. The door latch is a little tough for younger kids to manipulate, but that's a minor complaint on an overall great Woot deal.
Plastic vs. wood? Wouldn't a plastic play house be more durable (and easier to assemble)? Anyone who has owned both care to comment? This house looks pretty but I worry if it will look good after the first couple years.
My great-nephew's grandparents bought him a similar house. They mounted it on a foundation and added a wireless doorbell. Both additions really added to the charm.
anyone know what the floor and foundation are like? do you put it on (included) blocks or posts? are there joists to the floor?
neveraging wrote:anyone know what the floor and foundation are like? do you put it on (included) blocks or posts? are there joists to the floor?
There is no floor included.
Just received mine in the mail. Took me about 3 hours (with no help) to open the box, layout all the parts, build playhouse and clean up all the packaging. It wasn't "hard" but I'd say I'm not a novice. I've put together plenty of desks, beds, and toys (I have 2 kids under 6). Tools used: allen wrench - included Screw driver Power drill (the 3rd hole for the door hinges was not predrilled) Also used wood glue, clamp and a few random wood screws which I had- one piece of the wall broke when I went to pick it up. Here are a few observations: Roof is plastic, the rest is wood Plastic door handle that works (holds the door closed) There is no floor The back wall has a huge window w/ red fabric curtains and curtain rod (which you screw down on each side so they don't come off) There are two windows w/ movable shutters. The front mailbox opens and has a movable red flag(plastic)

Eric Maynor agreed to a multi-year deal with the Wizards on Monday.
Tony Allen racked up four steals during Tuesday's impressive win at Golden State, adding nine points, four rebounds, two assists and three turnovers in 37 minutes.
Stephen Curry received his league MVP award prior to Game 2 on Tuesday but the celebration didn't last long, as the Warriors fell 90-97 to tie their second-round series at 1-1.
Mike Conley (facial surgery) thrived in his return during Game 2, scoring 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting with three 3-pointers and three assists to help the Grizzlies pull out a rare win in Oracle Arena.
John Wall described his left wrist injury as a "really bad sprain" and decided not to play in Game 2 because he couldn't dribble effectively.
Ramon Sessions poured in a playoff-career-high 21 points as a fill-in starter for John Wall (wrist) during Game 2, going 8-of-14 from the field with three 3-pointers, three rebounds and four assists.
Nene, who went scoreless in 17 minutes on Sunday, finished the Wizards' Game 2 loss with two points, four rebounds, one assist, four turnovers and zero defensive stats.
DeMarre Carroll led the Hawks with 22 points in Tuesday's Game 2 win, hitting 9-of-16 shots with one 3-pointer, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one turnover.
Mike Conley (facial surgery) confirmed that he feels "good enough" to play in Game 2 on Tuesday.
Updating a previous report, John Wall (wrist) will not play in Game 2 vs. the Hawks on Tuesday.
The Clippers have downgraded Chris Paul (hamstring) to doubtful for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Rockets.
Doc Rivers said that his gut it telling him that Chris Paul (hamstring) has a 50-50 chance of suiting up for Wednesday's Game 2 in Houston, and he will be a game-time decision.

"that work on the Ogg audio formmat"
Phoronix: Theora 1.1 Thusnelda Is Released
Theora, the open and royalty-free format that comes from the same folks that work on the Ogg audio formmat, has officially reached version 1.1. Theora 1.1 (codenamed "Thusnelda") is much-improved over version 1.0, which was reached last November. Some of the improvements in the Theora 1.1 encoder include rate-distortion optimization, better motion search, adaptive quantization, a real rate-control module, support for 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video, and many more changes. A description of the major changes in Theora Thusnelda along with source download links to libtheora 1.1 are available from the Xiph.org mailing list...
"that work on the Ogg audio formmat"
Ogg is the container (which, as a phenomenon, is quite orthogonal from an "audio format"). Theora is a video codec and _Vorbis_ is an audio codec.
"Ogg Vorbis" - Audio
"Ogg Theora" - Video
"Ogg" - Something that contains one or both of the above :P
So saying "the Ogg audio format" is actually quite OK, it just doesn't mention that the "Ogg audio format" is called "Ogg Vorbis." It's like saying "the Linux kernel audio API". It doesn't mention explicitly that it refers to "ALSA", but is correct. There is a Linux kernel audio API, just as there is an Ogg audio format.
There's also Ogg FLAC, but I don't think I've come across it in the wild.. FLACs are usually just FLAC and not in an Ogg container.
phoronix: the tech is freely available. now use is please!
Theora encoding/transcoding benches ftw, yes.
Excellent! Free multimedia FTW! Now would be nice to see some unbiased tests comparing h.264, xvid, divx and theora thusnelda.
BTW for Theora videos the preferred container is actually ogv and ogg is for audio because it's well always been so no point to confuse peole and change it for example to oga. They're both technically same it's just for distinction.

Amstel GoldIm thinking
Gerro Sagan Valverde My smokies are Michael Mathews (if he races) and Hesjedal.
Re: Amstel GoldEurosport were advertising it for Sunday night but it's not in the programme
Gerro for the win. Gilbert doesnt have the form of last year and Boonen is out injured
Re: Amstel Gold
Gerro for the win! Darkies, Hoogerland and Volkler.

You need to keep a close watch on the Foxtel program guide, it often doesn't get updated. I'm in the habit now of checking each night before bedtime in case I need to set a recording. Posted via Tapatalk Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Amstel GoldAgree with Vander, this is the kind of race that Bling could do well in. He seems a similar type rider to Sagan just not as advanced (seemingly).I'll go for Sagan to put his good form to use and win. He is riding yeah
FPR Ragamuffin
Re: Amstel GoldAccording to Foxtel website it's on Sunday, 11pm, Eurosport...
I think Sagan also, but Gerrans is in with a shot... Hopefully.
Re: Amstel GoldYep, Fleche is also now listed 10.15 Wednesday. Good week of cycling coming up.

Re: Amstel GoldCadel to ride for the team....
http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/04/ ... ics_213608 I kinda hope he proves to have the best form and has a crack for himself in at least one of the three. FPR Ragamuffin
Re: Amstel GoldI'm hoping that Gerro makes it 3 wins for the year tonight. He is a lot of peoples itk favourite.
Re: Amstel GoldAnyone going to watch this via a live stream online? If so, could you link me to where you'll watch it?
Re: Amstel Gold
Normally best to go to http://steephill.tv and click through the links until you find the best live stream.
Re: Amstel GoldCadel no likey the cold!... give me my bus!
Re: Amstel GoldGood finish, Phil Gil nearly did it, surprising to see gasparotto kick that second time. Geez he was buggered afterwards though.

He didn't even make it on the live streams that I could see.
Re: Amstel Gold
CyclingNews reported he has an infection... Cycle touring blog and tour journals: whispering wheels...
Re: Amstel GoldAnyone know of a link to an archive of the race video?
Tried to record it but Download Helper for Firefox did not recognise the stream. I guess there must be a way to record streaming video but so far I have not worked it out. Graeme
Re: Amstel GoldGerro finished in 20th, 19 seconds behind. I don't know what happened to him on the last climb. Did he get caught behind in the crash? I was surprised to see the remaining GreenEDGE riders come to the front and put a shift in towards the end, that's not usually the teams style.
Re: Amstel Gold
I saw him in a chase group... he didn't look like he was too worried, wasn't on the front chasing anyway. Next I heard he was on the bus.
Re: Amstel Gold
It will be here.. http://cyclingtorrents.nl
Re: Amstel Gold
I saw him getting held up by the crash not that much but probably gave it up after then and just rolled over the line not pushing extremely hard.
Re: Amstel Goldlooks like Gilbert form is coming good - he and Sagan will be ones to watch at Fleche and L-B-L

New "Tour Plan" to replace "Tour Permits"
BSA POLICY | Effective March 1, 2011, what are currently known as local and national Tour Permits will be superseded by what will be called the Tour Plan. The online tour permit system will be suspended.

2010 Historic (a.k.a. "Centennial") Merit Badges "Data Entry" Deadline: With the deadline of December 31, 2010 for Scouts to earn the historical merit badges, the decision has been made to allow additional time thereafter for entering them into the ScoutNET system. The deadline for doing so has been set as March 31, 2011. This applies to those at the local council who enter advancement based on forms submitted, or unit management software file uploads provided. It also applies to unit advancement processors using Internet Advancement. The merit badges affected are: Carpentry, Pathfinding, Signaling, and Tracking. This is not intended as an extension of time to earn the badges; only as additional time for data entry. Troops can submit advancement reports for Historic Merit Badges earned by Scouts before 12/31/2010 through March 31, 2011. — Announcement from the National Council office. |

10th Annual Aviation Merit Badge at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics
NOTICE: If you are looking to register for the "10th Annual Aviation Merit Badge at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics" event, you may have been accidentally (and incorrectly) directed by a third party (not us, or meritbadge.info) to register for this event here at MeritBadgeDotOrg. But, of course, that's not the case. MeritBadgeDotOrg, as you probably know, is a wiki.
Meritbadge.info is website designed and run by volunteer Scouters (just like us) that provides FREE registration services for Scouting-related events. Although not affiliated with the MeritBadge Networks, we certainly applaud them for their efforts. —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 17:29, October 1, 2010 (EDT)

Bugling and Music Merit Badges
NOTICE: On June 2, 2010, Scouting Magazine's 'Cracker Barrel' (online blog) reported that the Bugling merit badge would be officially retired as of December 31, 2010; and, that the Music merit badge requirements would be modified (effective January 1, 2011) to include Bugling skills. (We further stated here, "Those wishing to earn Bugling need to obtain a Blue Card and begin working on it prior to December 31, 2010. In doing so, you may keep working on it –even after it has been retired– until you: A) complete the badge, or B) turn 18, whichever comes first. (You cannot start this badge after it has been retired.") UPDATE: On August 4, 2010, Scouting Magazine's 'Cracker Barrel' (online blog) then reported that the National council's previous decision to retire Bugling has been rescinded. (As a result, though not specified, we are assuming that the Music merit badge requirements will also not change.) Editor's note: Music & Bugling will continue to share the same merit badge pamphlet. |

Updates coming
The wiki was backed up today... some administrative (MediaWiki) changes are coming soon, i.e., user rights, security, etc.
Call for editors
We'll also be pushing to add new and/or update changed recent BSA requirements information, which tends to be more and more around the beginning of each year. To that end, we will be recruiting additional/new:
- wiki editors, which can be any BSA-registered adult Scouter and a registered member of MeritBadge.Net.
- wiki Sysops, which can be any BSA-registered adult Scouter and a registered member of MeritBadge.Net (and meet the requirements for Sysops).
We need your help; so, if you are interested, you can contact me via this link: RWSmith

I love this duvet set! It's VERY reasonably priced and it's very pretty. I love that the colors are reversed so you have two choices you can use. I also love the feel of the fabric. It doesn't get warm like some fabrics, and it doesn't stay cool like others. It really is just right. :)
Honestly, I was very excited upon opening the box and seeing how nice the ivory color duvet set looked like, perfectly matching my bedroom, the print is bright and classy-looking. BUT who cares about the nice color and print since it gets so wrinkled that you can hardly notice the print any longer...and DON'T say that's not a big deal. I don't mean it was wrinkled in the original package or after machine washing, I did my best to iron it, so it looked perfectly fine right after that, but when I wrapped my duvet into this Bella cover guess what...?! IT WAS WRINKLED AGAIN. This fabric is so bad quality that it would get wrinkled as you breath next to it, so imagine how it looks like after sleeping one night in your bed. I wish I could attach a picture of it in this post.
My duvet is beautiful! Quality is more than I had expected. I just love it!
The feel of the cloth is Rich, the color as well.. Well constructed
This item fit the comforter that I ordered well although it has a tendency to slip down slightly with use. The quality is good and it washes well.
Ordered gold and white in king for our tall queen. Really nice quality and look. Haven't washed it yet but I expect it to be nice after ironing.
If you are looking for a soft duvet made of sheet fabric you will like this set. It gives a very casual look to your room, which I wanted.

did the X guys consider using devicekit? what's the issue there?
Phoronix: The X.Org Plans For Moving Away From HAL
To address the questions that have been coming up frequently regarding the X.Org Server and the plans to stop using HAL, Sun's Alan Coopersmith has created a new Wiki page called XorgHAL. On this Wiki page, Alan explains how this hardware abstraction layer for Linux and other operating systems is currently in use for finding input devices, being notified of input device hot-plugging, mapping system input devices, and setting input device options. X.Org has been using HAL since X Server 1.4 and it continues to be used in the most recent X Server 1.7 series, but the migration away from HAL will likely be completed in time for X Server 1.8...
did the X guys consider using devicekit? what's the issue there?
Er… what!? Has DeviceKit been abandoned already?
All this is plain crazy imho - I don't see why HAL was such a bad piece of software to begin with. It's an established quasi-standard that managed to settle, and it was even available on non-Linux (at least on FreeBSD, to my knowledge) systems. Now everyone's going back to reinvent the wheel to make bootup a tenth of a second faster. Am I the only one thinking that's kinda stupid?
At the very, very least, put the input handling code into a library, put the device files into something non-X-specific, and make it reasonable for other projects to reuse the data instead of making yet another X-only abstraction that has nothing X-specific about it. :/
What do you mean by "dumped"?
Afaik it's just being renamed to udisks:
See the threads on devkit-devel this week, such as this post - they renamed the projects, including all the functions, libraries, binaries, dbus addresses and other interfaces,
so all software using DeviceKit will have to be updated to the new names.
No, you're not.Am I the only one thinking that's kinda stupid?
I'm wondering about this: Ubuntu 10.04 is about to adopt X Server 1.7 and completely drop HAL, but since HAL will be completely dropped only in 1.8, what is Ubuntu gonna do about that?
