Red Sea C-Skim 1800 Protein Skimmer
Product Manuals & Documentation
The Smarter choice for the serious hobbyist
A new level of performance, user friendliness and affordability in protein skimming.
PSK Air Injector - 800 lph (200 gph)
Integrated neck washing system
FoamView™ skim adjustment window
High efficiency skim reactor
Stand-alone or In-sump
Peripheral Flow, Closed Loop, Skim Chamber
Aquarium water is injected into an air pocket above the skim chamber, and is spread evenly around the periphery of the skim chamber walls, preventing turbulent flows on non-aerated water which can de-stabilize the foam production.
The PSK aspiration pump recirculates the water in the skimmer, injecting 800 lph (200 gph) of micro air bubbles.
The conical top of the skimming chamber concentrates the air/water mixture, forcing it up into the neck of the collection cup where it slowly transforms into dry concentrated organics-laden foam.
The out-flowing water is collected evenly from around the periphery of the bottom of the skim chamber where it is almost bubble free.
A skim regulator valve easily adjusts the foaming for a wide range of water conditions providing optimal skimming performance.
User-friendly Control and Design
The compact rectangular design of the C-Skim makes it ideal for in-sump use or stand-alone installation.
All controls and access to the pump are on one face, making set up and ongoing use a simple process.
Control features include the Foam Regulator & FoamView™ Window, Air Control Valve & Silencer, 3-way Skim/Wash/Clean Control Valve, Drain Port, 90 degree rotating outlet suitable for 40mm (1.5") rigid pipe.
Skimmer Neck Washing System
Allowing organic sludge to accumulate on the skimmer neck (which will occur if not cleaned regularly) can reduce foam production by 30-40%.
When the C-Skim`s patent-pending integrated neck washing system is activated, it diverts water from the skim chamber, spraying concentrated jets of water onto the inside of the neck, washing the accumulate sludge back into the skimmer. Returning the water flow back to normal operation flushes the sludge into the collection cup for easy disposal.
The FoamView™ Window provides a clear view of the foaming action and allows easy and accurate adjustment of foam production.
Long Term Pollutant Reduction
Tests have shown that over time the C-Skim is extremely effective in lowering the level of oxygen consuming pollutants (COD/BOD) in aquarium water. The graph shows the inverse relationship between the levels of the water borne pollutants and Redox over time. (Results of test performed on a heavily stocked 1000L (250gal) fish tank)

C-Skim 1800 – Product Review
by Bob Goemans
There's been much discussion as to the value of protein skimming over the past 10 – 15 years, all of which resulted in that the process is an extremely important component in what is universally considered the aquarist's most important goal, i.e., maintaining high quality seawater! I should also add that I've been a major player in those 'discussions' along with writing about the process itself and testing some of the skimmer models available in the marketplace. And when Red Sea asked if I would be interested in testing their new C-Skim 1800 model, I of course said yes, as I've seen it advertised and really wondered if it was all it was said to be.
Keep in mind that over the past couple of decades I've seen skimmers of all sizes, various prices, and wonderful advertising claims, some that were not anywhere near being worth their price or claimed results. And since I didn't initiate this product test, made it clear if I found faults or inadequacies with the unit, no review would see daylight until they were corrected. With that very clear, Red Sea said, 'check it out and tell us exactly what you think,' as they wanted a review from a totally independent and well experienced source in the hobby, not a source tied to advertising or selling the product.
With that resolved, I decided to give the product a test that in my opinion would be more than just the standard 'hook it up to an aquarium and wait days for a result!' Before discussing the actual test, first a little background on the skimming process, then the unit itself.
Photo 1: C-Skim 1800 Box
Skimming Process
Mother Nature uses the skimming process to care for her oceans! The foam developed by waves crashing over reef crests or seen when waves roll onto beach sands and leave foam at their high point on the sand are the end result of the protein skimming process. It's that foaming process, i.e., a method that involves a special group of unwanted compounds called 'surface-active' compounds or 'surfactants' that tend to collect near or on the water surface because they are bipolar. Their hydrophilic or polar ends prefer to face water. Their hydrophobic or non-polar ends are attracted to air. Hence, accumulating Dissolved Organic Compounds including toxic organic substances such as terpenoids from soft corals and/or Caulerpicin from macroalgae are attracted to the water's surface or that of the air bubble, where it can be removed/exported from the aquarium's water via the 'foam' produced.
The result, especially in aquaria is much improved water quality! In fact, it's the reason why water used in the process should come from areas near the aquarium 'surface!' Other benefits are also received from the skimming process, e.g., it helps to maintain reasonable pH levels, reduces nitrate accumulations, oxygenates the water, reduces excessive carbon dioxide levels helping somewhat to minimize unwanted algae, and reduces the accumulation of un-needed heavy metals. A small deficiency, such as reducing levels of some valuable trace elements, can easily be overcome with the use of trace element additives. In short, it's the aquarist's most valuable tool in their quest for acquiring their most important goal – excellent water quality!
Before leaving this foam aspect, every quality skimmer has a pump size recommendation for optimum performance. But location of said pump is of all importance if the product is to deliver optimum performance! All to often the manufactures recommended size pump is mounted at a far distance from the skimmer input connection, possibly with some twists and turns in the delivery piping plumbing. Additionally, some pumps are mounted a distance below the protein skimmer, forcing the pump to work against gravity to raise its water output. Either way, less than the recommended amount of water output per its rating reaches the skimmer, negatively effecting skimmer performance. Not the fault of the skimmer, but that of the person who installed the product. Therefore, take into consideration the plumbing of the unit, and if need be purchase a larger pump as its always easy to throttle back the flow if excessive with a control valve, but impossible to increase it if too little!
C-Skim 1800 Features

Water Pump - 400 - 450 GPH/about 2000 liters
Collection Cup
Contains a recessed viewing window (FoamView) providing a clear view of the foam rising in the neck of the skimmer. One could say the inset cuts down on the volume of liquid the cup could contain, however, would find that an inappropriate comment as aquarists realize that liquid needs to be monitored as needed per the environment of their aquarium. For those that tend to put off emptying the cup, there's a drain connection in the lower right front corner that can flow accumulating wastes to a separate collection container that can be sized as needed. Also, the cover of the collection cup is vented to allow air from within the skimmer body to escape, insuring there will be no backpressure from the injected air and that fresh air will always be circulating within the body of the skimmer. Collection cup can be removed without shutting down the unit! (See Neck Washing below)
Skimmer Body
One of the more interesting aspects of this unit is that its body/reaction chamber is canister filter-shaped with similar side latches and made entirely from an opaque plastic material. Gone is the viewing of the air and water mixing in the reaction chamber, which I had used on some other brand skimmers as a way to judge the quantity and quality of air bubbles being introduced into their reaction chambers. Actually, when this unit was up and running it became exceptionally apparent there was an enormous amount of correctly sized bubbles, about 1 mm, as its FoamView window quickly filled with bubbles! I can honestly say there will be less maintenance time keeping its body inside areas clean, as there will not be any algae growing on these surfaces as there are sometimes with clear body skimmers! As for its side canister filter-like latches, its quite simple to pop them open and remove the upper collection cup to gain access to its interior if need be, which might be once a year to do a thorough cleaning of its interior areas.
Peripheral Flow-Closed Loop Skimming
Nice sounding words, but had to see and understand just how the interior water flow was designed! With the Collection Cup removed, I found a conical shaped deflection baffle that encompassed most of the internal circumference of the top of the base unit. Its purpose appears to be two fold - to collect the building foam on its underside and guide it upwards through a central circular opening that aligns with the collection cup, and second, deflect the incoming water directed at its upper surface and force it downward around the small space between its edges and the interior walls of the unit. This downward water flow then passes over the air bubbles entering the skimmer body from the aspiration pump, increasing their dwell time. Keep in mind the aspiration pump is also withdrawing water from this chamber and mixing air into it, then injecting an air/water stream into this already circulating water flow! As for the water exiting the skimmer body, it's collected at its base where it is virtually bubble free and then flows through a vertical internal standpipe to the units outflow port. A very well thought-out process of air and water flow within the unit!
All levers/control handles and fittings are located on the front side of the skimmer, making it easier to control the items of your choice. The air control valve - controls the air flow to aspiration pump; water outlet control lever - controls the water level in skimmer collection neck; and, neck washing lever - described below. Very simple – only three controls!
Neck Washing System
Besides the innovative interior flow design, this item adds great value to the product! Along the entire top edge of the Collection Cup's central foam collection neck there's a snug fitting hollow plastic ring that is connected to interior pipework that allows incoming aquarium water to be diverted to it when this feature is to be used. When its control level, located on the outside of the upper left side of the unit's base is turned 90 degrees counterclockwise, incoming water to the unit is then diverted to angled holes in this so-called 'spray ring' that wash interior neck surfaces below clean of collecting sludge. It's recommended this aspect be used once daily to keep the neck interior clean. Sludge material washed away is simply deposited somewhat below in the foamy water and will be removed by collecting foam once the lever is returned to its off position. And that off point is locked in; as the level lip slips into a notched slot you can feel and hear when it's back to its normal/off position. Should you want to remove the Collection Cup for some reason and not shut down the skimmer, simply turn the level 90 degrees clockwise. I've tried it on the test unit and it works perfectly! An extremely nice feature, and something found only on some 'very' expensive protein skimmers!
Aspiration/Interior Water Circulation Pump
As mentioned above, the unit uses one of the best aspiration pumps available, however, unless one understands what distinguishes poorly produced foam from what is considered excellent foam, it's difficult to judge the results rendered. Bottom line, resulting foam 'must be' of the right constancy, i.e., remain stable (bubbles not quickly breaking) long enough for rising bubbles to push it to the point where it can slowly flow into the collection cup. Stable foam is referred to as 'dry' foam. Dry foam remains as bubbles for ten to twenty minutes at the upper edge of the reaction cylinder and in the collection cup. At a minimum, the foam's bubbles need to last long enough so their coating of surfactants can drain into the collection cup. If foam bubbles break within a few seconds of reaching the top of the reaction cylinder, it's referred to as 'watery' foam, which deposits most of its adsorbates back into the aquarium instead of the collection cup and also wastes a lot of water aquarium.
Supplied air tubing connects to an inlet port at the bottom of the pump and from there to an air chamber located on the right upper front of the skimmer body. At the top of this small air chamber there's a small fitting and control valve that can adjust the volume of air entering the aspiration pump. Without a doubt, the process within the body of this model skimmer has been perfected, as its foam production is perfect! And should the user want to drain the entire unit to move it elsewhere, its not necessary to pick up the full unit as there is a drain plug on the lower inlet to the pump, allowing for interior unit water to be drained to that level.
The Test!
My first action was simply to remove the skimmer box from its shipping container, which had one of its corners completely bashed in and which was left on my back porch the night before. I immediately thought it might be damaged, but when opened the skimmer box within was in perfect shape. In fact, it was evident that it would take a gorilla to damage the skimmer itself, as the unit is totally surrounded by a few inches of Styrofoam! Except for installing its Aspiration pump, its outflow 90? elbow, and some airline tubing, which were securely tucked elsewhere in the box, the unit is basically ready to go. Reading the enclosed User Manual was next, which I found quite accurate and helpful. It suggests a 400 - 450 GPH pump be used to supply its water flow, which my test confirmed was the ideal size. But as mentioned above, if its water supply cannot flow from within a short distance it may be advisable to equip it with a larger pump.

The unit could have been attached to a 400 gallon reef tank that is constantly skimmed and has excellent water quality. However, that would have required a waiting period in my opinion of several days to make a complete assessment as to its overall operational capabilities. Instead, I call a local shop and asked its owner if I could set it up on his 600 gallon live rock system, as that would already contain a good measure of organics and hopefully produce a quick result that would help judge the units capability. Good idea was his answer along with that he would be interested in seeing this model skimmer working! I then attached the few loose parts and took it to his shop. Even though not overly pretty, the actual setup there took all of only a few minutes. It just happened that the rock tank had a 450 gallon water pump circulating water within it. The skimmer was placed on a Styrofoam shipping box top that straddled two rock bins and its short 2 foot flex hose was attached to that water pump. The pump was turned back on and 'presto,' water began to overflow into the collection cup. Flow was throttled back somewhat and next the aspiration pump was turned on. Foam almost immediately began to show itself in the FoamView window. A slight adjustment to the outflow was made and the foam level stayed steady in the window. We were both impressed! About 5 - 10 minutes passed as the owner and I walked around his shop to discuss various other things in his many aquariums. When we came back, the skimmer was 'already' producing 'dry' foam as can be seen in the photos. In fact, both the shop owner and I said at exactly the same time – WOW, what perfect foam! I then turned the Neck Washing lever to its 'wash' position to checkout that aspect and it worked flawlessly. Then turned it to the Cup Removal position and removed the Collection Cup without turning off the pump. We were both very pleased with its performance and over the next hour or two we compared it to other brands and came away saying the Red Sea C-Skim 1800 is not only excellent, but may be the best on the market for a unit of that size and price range.

There's also another factor I want to bring forward in this review, as I applied it to the unit being tested so as to make a judgment call as to its ability to skim various size systems of different complexity. Its noted on the product box/manual the unit can effectively skim fish-only tanks of 450 gallons, soft coral tanks of 300 gallons, and stony coral tanks of 150 gallons. To verify this, I used what is known as a Purity Coefficient, which must be applied to the actual outflow from a correctly operating (foam producing) unit. That's easily accomplished by judging the amount of time it takes to fill a container of given size and deduce how much flows out of the product in 60 minutes. In this case, using a 2 gallon pail, it was quite messy and a good thing the shop floors were bare concrete! Once outflow is determined, it can be judged how often the unit will filter 99.99% of the water in the system by applying the correct purity coefficient. Where the test unit was concerned, a 450 GPH pump was utilized inline and only 2 feet from the units input connection. Outflow was at least 400 GPH. If I were to apply this similar hookup to a 150 gallon tank, it would filter 99.99% of its water about every 3 hours and 45 minutes. If the tank were 450 gallons, it would filter the entire tank's water about once every 10 hours. If the tank were 300 gallons, it would filter the tank's water approximately every 7 hours. All are reasonable turnover rates for said size tanks, even if highly loaded. If concerned about over-skimming, the operation time of the skimmer can be cut back, however, nighttime operation is always the best time to run a skimmer because of its oxygenating capability! I came away highly impressed, but slightly damp!

There is not one item that cannot be easily disassembled or replace if need be, even replacement o-rings are available. Probably only the interior of the reaction base unit is somewhat difficult to clean, as its baffle plate will have to removed completely for full access and that would require the Neck Washer valve to be removed, which would take a few minutes to accomplish. Nevertheless, it's possible for a long handled foxtail brush to be inserted through the baffles central opening and also around the space between the plate edges and wall of the skimmer body. Therefore, interior reaction chamber cleaning could mostly be accomplished quite quickly if need be. As for completely dissembling the product for cleanliness purposes, I see that rarely being needed. As to daily needs, connecting a drain line to the Collection Cup will far reduce the time needed to monitor cup liquid level, and the Neck Washer system if used regularly as noted in the User Manual will far reduce the need to hand wipe the foam collection neck area!
In closing, I've not seen better foam production! You definitely get your monies worth with this product!

Decent skimmer
3/18/2015 from SAN FRANCISCO, CA UNITED STATE
Experience Level:
This skimmer works really well in the sump, is very adjustable and quiet. Basic maintenance like cleaning the skimmer cup is very easy. Removing, cleaning and re-installing the aspirator pump is a nightmare. You should only have to do this about once every 3-6 months, but when you do, you're in for quite a project.

C-Skim 1800
5/12/2014 from Ocean County, NJ US
Experience Level:
Red Sea C-Skim 1800 1. Feeder pump is Mag 5 pump with nylon threaded tubing, a threaded ball valve with thread to barb returns, "with" four clamps (each side of ball valve thread to barb, pump female to barb, and skimmer input (use the metal clamps, check and recheck they are secure). Plastic clamps are not suitable for high flow operations. 2. I cleaned skimmer manufacturing process in a bath tub with hot water and a gallon of white vinegar; prior to this I tried Dawn Ultra dish soap. Repeatedly empty skimmer, hose, and pump, empty tub, and run for 30-60 minutes in hot water. 3. Skimmer positioning "has to be" overflow input, skimmer, and then returns. At 11 ½ inches of height a RS300 Reef Octopus sump has 31 gallons of water. 4. I used a 300 Reef Octopus stand at 4 ½ inches up from bottom of sump. 5. I did not obtain consistent results in regard to dry foam production until I put 2nd air intake tube, elbow "with" the plug, and "clear tube" on. Without it I could not maximize flow, air, and skimmer would "overflow" some call over skimming. 6. The elbow on skimmer return requires cap off facing downward, so I turned it slightly 1-2 inches sideways which actually helps downstream effect they discuss in regard to skimmer positioning. The "cap" had to be on for consistent flow as maximum flow and air, no doubts. This included putting on the clear pipe which you eventually want to reduce noise from return and sump water surface. Read and re-read manual, and then do reflect and implement my points, I had very inconsistent results until I did each step. The instructions I followed, and rechecked, why I referenced was the surprises or conflicts with instructions provided. Most of this I pursued for no other reason than I had to make it work. Red Sea makes effectively products and a low cost, they look like cast molded skimmers that are effective and professional in appearance. Like the Prizm Deluxe don't drop it on a cement floor, and read, and re-rea

Excellent Skimmer and Support
4/17/2014 from Clackamas, OR UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
Got this skimmer from a retailer at a good price, as I started my tank 7/2013. It was a little rocky start, as it wouldn't fit in the sump adequately. Had to set it up outside of the sump, and plumbing the output through the acrylic wall. Then, during the breakin period (for me and the skimmer) some overflowing caused some water spillage. Ultimately, wound up putting a tray underneath it to catch any spillage. Red Sea support is top notch. Called in with concerns of not much skim, and they sent me a new pump. Fitting of pump to body was leaking, and they sent a new one of that. Skimmer is working well, and keeps my 210 Reef tank clean. I will continue to support Red Sea as a company, and if I needed a skimmer for a larger tank, this is one I would get.

very poor excuse for a skimmer
7/15/2013 from Las Cruces, NM UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
This thing is too large, noisey and functions very poorly. The cup clips kept popping off. the pump broke aftr 2 months.This neck clean option is a joke. Bought a different skimmer and immediately the tank cleared up massive skimmate. Do not waste your money.

Foam factory
6/5/2013 from KAILUA, HI UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
It took 2 days to get the adjustments right for a stable foam column. It definitely needs the 400gph. I think it should say minimum flow 400 rather than optimum flow 400. An Ehiem 1250 (317gph) will not produce a stable foam, rather it oscillates between mid way up and volcanic overflows. I've ordered an Ehiem 1260, while using an old marineland 802 until the new pump arrives. Overall, firm construction, solid unit, now (after 2 days tweaking) performing as advertised. Because it can go "volcano" I recommend draing the foamate back to the sump for a day or two until you are confident you can control the column (if using it externally) or you may find the volume of your sump on your floor within a matter of minutes.

Experience Level:
Bought from an authorized dealer, but not from this retailer. The unit was missing parts upon receipt. Docs state 1.5" rigid pipe works with the unit for extending the drain, however no rigid PVC pipe of any size or fittings would fit. Unit flooded easily just by minor adjustments in the outflow. Used with recommended flow pump. I am no longer a fan of Red Sea skimmers and am looking for a new one.

Nice skimmer
3/4/2012 from LA PLATA, MD UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
Great skimmer it does a good job in my 210gallon mixed reef. the bowl fills up about every three days im running it with a 500gph feed pump just haft to turn it way down on the skimmer. Im giving it 4 stars because it is a pain to try to adjust and the guide does not help you with that at all. the knobs are just too sensitive!

Awesome Skimmer!
12/17/2011 from ADA, MI UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
This is a great skimmer for the money. Just for the price, compared to other skimmers to handle similar size systems, you can pay a lot more than this. I have this on my 220 gallon reef systems, loaded with fish and corals. The skim it produces is unreal! I bought a RIO 1400 pump to run it. The controls (which I love) are on the lowest setting because if I raise it up just a little bit, the skim box will fill up in 5 minutes. Maybe you could run it on a lower flow pump. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the adverstised feature that cleans the throat doesn't work as great as advertised. Even though I do it every day, it still gets filthy enough that I have to wipe it down. Also, the out flow nozzle doesn't feel like it locks into place and I would be concerned that this could come lose on its own.

I have been in this hobby since 1969 when it all started. I have seen many skimmers come and go ,This skimmer is a work horse. I have never seen such dark urine smelling skimmate in my life. Very easy to set up and operate. The wash down keeps it skimming at peak performance. I use a power head with 400 gal capacity to supply water. I have a 20 gal long as a sump and it fits nicely in side, dont waste your money on another skimmer this one is worth every penny and is worth its weight in gold

Experience Level:
I have had the Red Sea C-Skim 1800 Protein Skimmer for just about a year now and I am very happy with it. It skims very effectively if you keep the unit clean. I have a 180 gallon fish only tank with a 40 gallon sump. The only thing that I would change would be the water outlet connection. The elbow connection is not very rigid and may become loose. For this reason I would suggest placing the skimmer into your sump as I do. It is amazing how much this skimmer removes. My water is always crystal clear.

Malignant otitis externa is a disorder involving infection and damage of the bones of the ear canal and at the base of the skull.
Osteomyelitis of the skull; Otitis externa - malignant
Malignant otitis externa is caused by the spread of an outer ear infection (otitis externa, also called swimmer's ear). It is an uncommon complication of both acute swimmer's ear and chronic swimmer's ear.
Risks for this condition include:
External otitis is often caused by difficult-to-treat bacteria such as pseudomonas. The infection spreads from the floor of the ear canal to the nearby tissues and into the bones at the base of the skull. The infection and inflammation may damage or destroy the bones. The infection may spread more and affect the cranial nerves, brain, or other parts of the body.
Your health care provider will look into your ear for signs of an outer ear infection. The head around and behind the ear may be tender to touch. A nervous system (neurological) examination may show that the cranial nerves are affected.
If there is any drainage, the doctor may send it to the lab for a culture. The purpose of the culture is to look for bacteria or fungi, usually the bacteria pseudomonas.
To look for signs of a bone infection next to the ear canal, the following tests may be performed:
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection. Treatment often lasts for several months, because it is difficult to treat the bacteria and reach an infection in bone tissue.
Antibiotics that are effective against the microorganism are given for long periods of time. They may be given through a vein (intravenously), or by mouth. Antibiotics should be continued until scans or other tests show that inflammation has gone down.
Occasionally, surgery to remove dead or damaged tissue (surgical debridement) in the skull is needed.
Malignant otitis externa usually responds to long-term treatment, especially if treated early. It may return in the future. Severe cases may be deadly.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have:
To prevent an external ear infection:
Treat acute otitis externa completely. Do not stop treatment sooner than your health care provider recommends. Following your doctor's plan completely will reduce the risk of malignant otitis externa.

Tigers look to continue breakout behind Smyly
Rienzo makes 2014 debut for White Sox; Miggy looking to get hot
Drew Smyly's first start of the season did not go according to plan Friday, when he allowed four runs in three innings against the Angels.
The Tigers southpaw hopes the rust that came with spending the season's opening weeks in the bullpen will have vanished when he takes the mound for the third game of a four-game set with the White Sox on Wednesday.
Just as it seems like the Detroit lineup was growing accustomed to facing left-handed starters, it'll face a righty Tuesday in Chicago's Andre Rienzo. The Tigers are coming off four consecutive games against lefty starters.
Rienzo will be making his first start of the season. In 10 starts last season, his rookie season, Rienzo went 2-3 with a 4.82 ERA.
Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera appears poised to break out of a slump that has troubled him for much of the opening month. An 0-for-4 performance Monday night dropped Cabrera's average to .206, though two of those outs were hard hit. After that game, Cabrera was downtrodden, saying an out is an out, whether it's hit 400 feet or 40 feet.
"I thought Miggy took great swings yesterday," said Tuesday night's winning pitcher, Justin Verlander. "He was upset because he didn't have anything to show for it."
Tuesday night, in the win over the White Sox, he had much to show for it. He provided the first glimpse of the back-to-back AL Most Valuable Player-winning version of Cabrera in quite some time. Cabrera jacked a two-run homer to right field and also doubled home a run. A single in the eighth inning rounded out his 3-for-5 night, raising his average to .235.
If this is, indeed, the end of Cabrera's rough start to the season, his manager, Brad Ausmus, never once lost faith in his slugger.
"The best hitters in the world have slumps, and the proof is that Miggy's slumping right now, and he's the greatest hitter in the world," Ausmus said before Monday's game.
Cabrera has never faced Rienzo, who made his Major League debut with the White Sox last season.
White Sox: Injuries won't be an excuse
The White Sox have been without second baseman Gordon Beckham for the entire 2014 season because of a left oblique strain. They lost right fielder Avisail Garcia to season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum.
Right-handed setup man Nate Jones has been bothered by what turned out to be back issues since the start of Spring Training. Right-handed starter Felipe Paulino recently moved to the disabled list with rotator cuff inflammation.
Jeff Keppinger remains in extended spring camp with right shoulder soreness, and Chris Sale, not only the White Sox ace but one of the American League's best pitchers, joined the other five on the disabled list Tuesday with a flexor muscle strain in his left arm. Manager Robin Ventura realizes these losses have been significant, but won't fall back on them as excuses if his team slips up.
"Yeah, it's part of the game. You have to deal with it, and you keep going," Ventura said. "But it's unfortunate. You feel bad for a kid like Avi missing the whole year.
"Injuries are just part of it. You just get another guy in and keep playing. You can't sit around and feel sorry for yourself, because you're going to get your brains beat in if you sit around and worry about injuries and things like that."
Charlie Leesman replaced Sale on Tuesday and didn't make it through three innings during an 8-6 loss. There could be another starter in Sale's spot come Sunday against the Rays.
"We feel like we're dropping like flies around here. We had a lot of people go down," Ventura said. "It started in Spring Training, start the season with a couple of guys, Kep and Gordon. Avi's is just unfortunate. You don't expect for a player to get an injury where he misses the rest of the year."
Tigers: Jackson to return to lineup after short rest
After 16 games and 144 1/3 innings, Austin Jackson had a game off Tuesday. It's not exactly a Prince Fielder-like streak, but it's part of Ausmus' plan to rest his center fielder some early so that he can play him every day late.
"He's played every game, every day," Ausmus said. "He'll be back in there [Wednesday.]"
The 16 consecutive starts are a little deceptive, because four scheduled off-days and two postponements created breaks in the schedule. That said, the Tigers are more than halfway through a stretch of 12 straight games, including a three-game series at Minnesota this weekend.
Last season, Jackson started 33 of the Tigers' first 34 games, playing every inning in 32 of them, before missing a month with a strained right hamstring. Ausmus doesn't have a budget of how often he'd like to rest Jackson, but he'll pick his spots.
"I think you do have to take the long view in the sense that you hope to be in a pennant race in September, where you don't want to give him off-days," Ausmus said. "So if you're taking the long view, you try to mix him in a little bit earlier, in theory to keep him fresher for the last month."
Worth noting
• The Tigers' seven doubles Tuesday night are the most they've had in one game since four years ago, April 22, 2010, at the Angels.
• Jose Abreu's six home runs are the most by a White Sox player through the first 21 games.
• White Sox slugger Adam Dunn, who homered in the ninth inning Tuesday, is five home runs away from tying Jeff Bagwell and Vladimir Guerrero for 48th place on the all-time list. Bagwell and Guerrero hit 449 in their careers.
• Chicago's Dayan Viciedo has reached base in 15 of his 18 games this season.

Ivy's on the toilet. Now's where I admit that my three-year-old is still in pull-ups but she's peed in the potty all day so far, so yay!
These photos were taken by Keli from Kidnapped By Suburbia during her visit in October.
Hmm, your table sounds a lot like our bar. And my sink.
Lily will be 4 in February and she is potty trained except that she refuses to poop in the potty. So she asks for a diaper when she's ready to do that and I put one on her, because obviously I would rather change a diaper than clean poop out of underwear. It is frustrating but I know it is a battle I can't win.
I hope Ivy continues to respond to marshmallow bribes! :)
Yummy! Can you post the recipe?
Good for Ivy for using the potty! Our son just turned 3 yesterday and we haven't even started potty training. He kept saying "When I'm 3 I won't use diapers" so we will see. But to be honest, he's growing up way too fast for me, and I really don't mind changing his diapers!
My daughter was almost 3 and a half when we started full on potty training. The best thing about waiting that late, is that it was when SHE was ready and she was trained in about 1 week, and by 2 weeks she was completely done having accidents. She is still in a pull up for nap time and a diaper for over night. I used to feel pressure to do things on the pediatrician's time table, or that of other mothers, then I had a second child and my confidence set in. I realized everything happens in due time...when it is right for my child...not when everyone else says it should happen. It's the same with weaning, there is not time where they should stop...it's when they are ready. Beautiful beach pictures!!!
ReplyDeletedo you have a recipe for the gf krispie treats? My son David has Celiacs...
LOL about the potty. Hope it continues to go well! (I have a 5 yr old that is not only not trained but likely won't be for a few more years... It's pull-up hell for me. )
My Just Write post:
Even after the potty training's done, I still have the loud & long running convos from the potty. With my last, with the baby who stops being a baby faster with each passing day? I will chat all day long with those loud comments from the potty seat, and *might* even share my Rice Krispie treats with her. (I said might.)
(And yes, the trick has GOT to be extra butter & marshmallows.)
I just have to say I am so relieved to hear (see) you say that Ivy is still working on the whole peeing in the potty thing.I about lost it this evening over pee not making it into the potty. Big Sister had accident after accident after accident today. And she has been potty trained for over a year!!! I don't know what that is about!?!?!

Duffy, Royals seeking some Fenway redemption
Red Sox counter with De La Rosa in bid to secure series victory
Danny Duffy remembers his first start at Fenway Park, but for all the wrong reasons.
The Royals left-hander's one and only start in Boston on July 26, 2011, was a calamity, as he gave up six runs, six hits, and three walks in 3 2/3 innings of Kansas City's 13-9 loss.
Duffy's second career start at Fenway comes on Saturday. He reflected on the progress he's made in the three seasons since that first outing.
"My rookie year, that was a tough one," Duffy said. "It's been a long time, but I've come a long way since then. They were a pretty different team back then, too. So, I'm just looking forward to getting out there [Saturday] and executing my game plan."
Duffy's 2.76 ERA leads the Royals' rotation, and he's managed to pitch into the sixth inning in each of his last eight starts with a 2.19 ERA. Yet, he is just 3-4 in that span.
"I don't know that I'm satisfied because I've lost a few of those games and my record wouldn't exactly indicate a whole lot of a success," Duffy said. "So, I'll just go out there and be a lot better than I was last time."
Pitching at fabled Fenway for the second time shouldn't be a distraction.
"You go out there and see the sights of Fenway and appreciate it for what it is, but just treat it like you're pitching on a high school baseball field and play like there's nobody in the stands," Duffy said. "So it'll be fun."
Boston counters with righty Rubby De La Rosa, who's posted a 2.89 ERA in six starts since being recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket at the end of May. He's notched 33 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings.
De La Rosa comes off a no-decision against the White Sox on July 9. The five-inning, three-run outing was his shortest of the season. He'd gone at least 5 2/3 innings in his previous five starts.
This will be De La Rosa'a first career start vs. the Royals.
Royals: Fenway a first for Aoki
When right fielder Nori Aoki walked into Fenway on Friday for the first game of the series, he and translator Kosuke Inaji took a quick turn through the stands to gaze at the territory he'd be defending.
It was all new to Aoki, who had previously spent two years with the Brewers in the National League without visiting Boston for Interleague Play.
"I thought my eyesight was going bad," Aoki said. "If I just look to my left, the foul pole is right there. I've seen it on TV, but it's more than I thought it was going to be. The foul pole is right there and the wall just keeps going back out from there."
Yep, that Pesky Pole does tend to loom large just 302 feet (some allege it's closer) from home plate. It was named for longtime Red Sox infielder Johnny Pesky, said to have won a game or two by hooking a home run around the pole.
Aoki was left to ponder (and consult with outfield coach Rusty Kuntz) on how best to play a ball scooting toward the curved wall beyond the pole.
"You've got to really decide if you're going to chase after the ball or go back to cut it off. Otherwise it might just go all the way around that curve," Aoki said.
Red Sox: Bogaerts starts second half well
Xander Bogaerts enjoyed a successful start to his second half by slugging a two-run home run off Kansas City starter James Shields in the Red Sox's 5-4 comeback win on Friday.
The young third baseman's homer spurred a four-run sixth inning that turned a 4-1 deficit into a 5-4 lead. He finished 1-for-3 with two runs scored, two RBIs and a walk.
It was Bogaerts' first home run since June 13. Between that date and his seventh homer on Friday, Bogaerts hit .115 in 92 plate appearances with 27 strikeouts, three walks and zero extra-base hits.
Worth noting
• The Royals have had better luck against the East than the other American League divisions. They're 14-10 against the East, but are just 18-22 in their own Central and 8-11 vs. the West. Against the National League, they're 8-4.
• Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz are the only active Red Sox from the 2011 squad who have faced Duffy. They're a combined 6-for-12 with five extra-base hits (four doubles, one triple) against the southpaw.

August 2012 Indie Next List
"The Night Circus can be described in so many ways; It's a love story, a mystery, a fairy tale. However one describes it, it is definitely an exercise in imagination of the finest type. Share the amazement! You will become consumed by this story until the very last word. This is the type of book that should be debated over cups of coffee-grown-cold, long, long into the night! Highly recommended."
— Nancy Simpson-Brice, The Book Vault, Oskaloosa, IA
September 2011 Indie Next List
"This elegant debut is a striking example of a nostalgic yet modern fairy tale. When two competing magicians lay a wager as to which can mold the more powerful protege, they opt to use a fantastical traveling wonderland -- The Night Circus -- as the venue for the competition. What is meant to be a battle of magical skills evolves into something much deeper as apprentices Celia and Marco enchant not only the circus around them, but also each other. The real conflict arises when the two realize how the competition is meant to end and they set about trying to change their predestined fate. I adored diving into Morgenstern's mesmerizing world and mourned when I reached the end."
— Whitney Spotts, Schuler Books & Music, Lansing, MI
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called "Le Cirque des REves," and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway: a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them both, this is a game in which only one can be left standing. Despite the high stakes, Celia and Marco soon tumble headfirst into love, setting off a domino effect of dangerous consequences, and leaving the lives of everyone, from the performers to the patrons, hanging in the balance.
Author Q&A with Erin Morgenstern
This is a lovely and unique story. Why a circus? How did this story first come to you--through a character, a plotline, an emotion?
The story came as a location created out of desperation. I was working on a different story altogether, one that was becoming progressively more and more boring because nothing was happening. I needed something exciting to happen and I couldn't figure out how to do it with the locations I had so I sent the characters to the circus. That circus was immediately much more interesting and eventually I abandoned that other story and its characters entirely and focused on the circus instead. What eventually became "The Night Circus" started from exploring that spontaneously-created location, figuring out who created it and who performed in it and what its story was.
What was your inspiration for some of the amazing acts in this circus?
Some of them were traditional circus acts or attractions made a bit more unique, like the acrobats performing directly overhead or the carousel that doesn't simply go in circles. The Cloud Maze is a play on a climbing maze I hazily recall from childhood visits to the Boston Children's Museum. Other tents were created based on color, or lack thereof. I had a lot of dark tents and wanted something lighter and white, the Ice Garden developed from that relatively simple starting point.
Do you have a favorite character?
It's impossible to pick a true favorite, though Poppet & Widget are very dear to my heart as they're the first of the characters to turn up in my imagination. They're also just plain fun, both individually and as a pair.
What was the most challenging aspect of developing this story?
It didn't have a plot for a very long time. Really, my biggest challenge was finding the actual story within all the atmosphere. I had the place and the characters and the feel of the book long before it had a proper story structure to tie everything together. The novel went through a great many revisions before it figured out what it wanted to be, I tried things that didn't work and then things that sort of worked and replaced old ideas with new ones until I got it right.
Is there an emotion that you had to spend a lot of time with that made you uncomfortable?
I'm an emotional sort of person in general and I have a vivid imagination, so I feel the whole spectrum of emotion strongly when I write. It's something I'm used to, though, so nothing in particular made me uncomfortable. There is a lot of frustration felt by various characters, which is not the nicest emotion to be spending a lot of time with, but it helps to drive characters to actions which bring different emotions along.
Tell me about your writing life. Do you have any rituals?
I binge write. I think it's because I started seriously writing by participating in National Novel Writing Month, an online-based challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. I don't have as tight a time limit anymore but I still write in long marathon sessions and then I won't write for a while, I'm not a write-every-day writer. I go back and forth between input phases where I'm reading a lot or trying to get out and explore the world a bit and soak up inspirations and then I'll get back into output mode and write and write and write.
I don't have any particular rituals, I sometimes like to write in longhand when I'm searching for ideas but I do the vast majority by typing, I can't always keep up with my thoughts longhand. I'm not a coffeeshop writer because I feel obliged to order more coffee and then I end up over-caffeinated.
What's the one true thing you learned from your characters in this novel?
I think it's something that I knew already but explored more with these characters, that nothing is as simple as black or white, good or evil. There are all those shades of grey and everyone acts from a place that they see as right and true. (Though they are allowed to change their minds.)

"Pure pleasure. . . . Erin Morgenstern is a gifted, classic storyteller, a tale-teller, a spinner of the charmed and mesmerizing—I had many other things I was supposed to be doing, but the book kept drawing me back in and I tore through it. You can be certain this riveting debut will create a group of rêveurs all its own." —Aimee Bender, author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

Bronchoscopy is the visual examination of the air passages leading into the lungs. The exam is done with a bronchoscope, a long, thin tube with a camera on the tip.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Bronchoscopy is most often done for the following reasons:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your doctor may do some or all of the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
Leading up to your procedure:
Local anesthetic will be given to numb the throat. It will also help to prevent coughing and gagging. Sometimes, a bronchoscopy is done under general anesthesia. In this case, you will be asleep.
The bronchoscope is a long, thin tube. It will be inserted through the nose or mouth. The scope will be passed down the throat and into the lungs.
The scope sends an image of the lung tissue to a monitor. The images and the scope may be used to remove a small tissue sample. If a foreign body is present, it may be removed through the scope. If a lavage is planned, a water solution may be used to wash an area. The solution is then removed and sent to a lab for examination.
The removed tissue or secretions will be sent to a lab for examination.
Less than 1 hour
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may feel a tugging sensation when the doctor removes a tissue sample. You may also have some breathing difficulty or shortness of breath during the procedure.
Expect some soreness in your throat and hoarseness for a few days after the procedure. Any discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Right after the procedure, the staff may:
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
You may be given a report after the sedative wears off and you are alert. It may take a few days to receive results from a biopsy. It may take up to six weeks for findings from a tuberculosis test. Ask your doctor when to expect your results.
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus that's caused by a bacterial infection. The abscess can occur at different regions of the tooth for different reasons. A periapical (per-e-AP-ih-kul) abscess occurs at the tip of the root, whereas a periodontal (per-e-o-DON-tul) abscess occurs in the gums next to a tooth root. The information here refers specifically to periapical abscesses.
A periapical tooth abscess usually occurs as a result of an untreated dental cavity, injury or prior dental work.
Dentists will treat a tooth abscess by draining it and getting rid of the infection. They may be able to save your tooth with a root canal treatment, but in some instances it may need to be pulled. Leaving a tooth abscess untreated can lead to serious, even life-threatening, complications.
Signs and symptoms of a tooth abscess include:
See your dentist promptly if you have any signs or symptoms of a tooth abscess. If you have a fever and swelling in your face and you can't reach your dentist, go to an emergency room. Also go to the emergency room if you have trouble breathing or swallowing. These symptoms may indicate that the infection has spread deeper into your jaw and surrounding tissue or even to other areas of your body.
A periapical tooth abscess occurs when bacteria invade the dental pulp — the innermost part of the tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue.
Bacteria enter through either a dental cavity or a chip or crack in the tooth and spread all the way down to the root. The bacterial infection can cause swelling and inflammation at the tip of the root.
These factors may increase your risk of a tooth abscess:
A tooth abscess won't go away without treatment. If the abscess ruptures, the pain may decrease significantly — but you still need dental treatment. If the abscess doesn't drain, the infection may spread to your jaw and to other areas of your head and neck. You might even develop sepsis — a life-threatening infection that spreads throughout your body.
If you have a weakened immune system and you leave a tooth abscess untreated, your risk of a spreading infection increases even more.
In addition to examining your tooth and the surrounding area, your dentist may:
The goal of treatment is to get rid of the infection. To accomplish this, your dentist may:
While the area is healing, your dentist may recommend you take the following steps to help ease discomfort:
Avoiding tooth decay is essential to preventing a tooth abscess. Take good care of your teeth to avoid tooth decay:

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Launched in September 2011, the Samsung NX200 marks a significant point in the NX line because it features an all-new APS-C CMOS sensor with 20.3megapixels. Among the hybrid cameras, this is about as big as sensors currently get, so Samsung are aiming at the high ground, a fact confirmed by the premium feel all-metal body – a first in the NX-series. |
Canon was the last major maker to embrace the hybrid or 'mirrorless' camera market. As a somewhat sober debut, designed for those who are new to photography, the EOS M adopts an 18-megapixel APS-C format in a compact body but boasts a number of advanced features including a 31-point hybrid AF system for stills and video and a touch sensitive 3-inch LCD. While it's clear this camera doesn't compete directly with the firm's DSLRs, how does it stack up against the competition that don't have the same volume of DSLR sales to protect? |
Introduced in mid September, the Olympus PEN E-PM2 is the second generation of Olympus' entry-level Micro Four Thirds hybrid camera. It sports a newly updated design with a useful, fixed grip and a touch-screen interface among other updates, but the big news is that it has inherited the sensor of the much-admired Olympus OM-D E-M5, the current top-of-the-line Micro Four Thirds camera. |
Announced at IFA 2012, Sony's NEX-5R is the third version of its very popular NEX-5 camera. This new model features a 16-megapixel APS-C EXMOR sensor composed of photosites that provide autofocusing by phase detection. Has Sony improved the image quality of its latest mid-range compact hybrid? Our tests reveal the answer. |
The EOS 1100D (Rebel T3) replaces the EOS 1000 as Canon's entry-level body. It combines a 12-megapixel sensor, Canon's 9-point AF engine coupled to the 63-zone metering system introduced by the EOS7D, and of course the now-standard Digic 4 image processor. Taken individually, none of these features is really new, but the combination of all these solid elements should prove interesting. Moreover, the EOS 1100D is now gifted with a video recording function… but only 720p, which could be a limitation compared to what competitors propose for a similar price point. |

Sony Alpha NEX-5 Read the article |
The new Sony NEX cameras feature one of Sony's latest APS-C sensors. Our DxOMark measurements show that the NEX sensor seems very similar to the one found in the Sony A450. Test results support Sony's assertion that this new camera category (mirrorless with interchangable lenses, sometimes referred to "EVIL" for "Electronic Viewfinder with Interchangable Lens") provides "DSLR image quality in a compact camera." |
Measurements for NEX-3 & NEX-5 and Nikon 18-70mm zoom optical performance now available on DxOMark

I don't think you have anything to apologize for because I don't think we were unreasonably optimistic. What's really starting to irritate the crap out of me is all of this talk about a "Conservative Echo Chamber"–the Mittmentum wasn't echo chamber-y. He was doing fairly well against a sitting president with an appalling record but a very capable GOTV effort.
Personally, I'm starting to think that the GOP's standard president-as-CEO sales pitch is what's not working. I have a feeling that when many voters thought of Mitt, they pictured these guys.

We are guilty of what we always accused to left of doing.
1. We talk in a vacuum only to ourselves.
2. We keep saying "Romney wasn't a good communicator." Well, maybe it's the message itself.
Limited government? Fiscal restraint. These are not easy sells in any circumstance.
3. Immigration? I live in a predominantly Dominican neighborhood in Manhattan. Hispanics are natural socialists. They come from poor, corrupt, socialist shitholes in Central and South America and once here they try to turn America into a mirror image of the shithole they left.
It used to be people came to America for a better life and to get away from government. Now they come here for a better quality of free stuff.

don't be so hard on yourself, KS. You weren't alone with those projections. Consider this. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the inteligence of the average American voter? …. Now, understamd that half of all American voters are below average. You can't fix stupid, my friend.

I'm amazed at the gifts we're given in this program. Especially the gifts we're given that we never thought to ask God for....like the gift of a new vocabulary.
Here's a story that a friend sent to me tonight, along with my response back to him...
My sponsor did me great one night, but he did it in a way that was not at all offensive, we had just left a meeting in a prison and as I told my story I let the expletives fly ( cussing up a storm). He mildly inquired about it- "You don't usually say the "F" word so much Steve" I felt a little threatened ( thin skinned) so I started trying to justify it. I sad that my language was probably no more offensive than stuff they hear all the time inside. "True, true" he said. " Do you think it is possible to offend someone without using profanity"? "Of course not" I said. "So, by not using so much profanity you can maybe reach more alcoholics"? "Yup" I replied.
"What was our purpose here tonight"? he said
I was quiet the whole ride home...
My response to his story...
I came across an old home movie of Christmas morning awhile back...my two grown children were little in the video...my 2 younger children that are 9 and 7 today sat down to watch it with me. To my horror, everytime I opened my mouth in the video, I use profanity. My little girls had their jaws on the floor. I had to shut it off. That was such an awakening to me. My little girls think 'stupid' is a bad word! They'd never heard me cuss like that before. wow. Thank God He changes us even in the areas we never asked to be changed in!
I just thought this was worth sharing. I'm truely grateful for the many wonderful gifts that come through recovery...most of which we don't even ask for! Tami F.

Posted by CherryGarciaMan on 1/13 at 2:09 am to kingbob But, it weakened the ENTIRE steel structure enough to bring it down at the rate of free fall? From the top to the bottom of the building, it was weakened that much to have no measurable resistance whatsoever? I could understand the floors where the fires were burning, and those in close proximity, but not the entire building... Reply Back to Top |
Posted by kingbob on 1/13 at 2:17 am to CherryGarciaMan quote: No, it weakened the bottom floor's steel column's, thus causing the other floors to pancake onto it and fail in rapid succession at free-fall velocity. So yes. As a Construction Management student, we learned this on the very first day of our intro class. We also studied this more in depth in our structures class, which focuses on the yield strength of steel at various temperatures as well as the strength of various connections, trusses, and support structures.

Posted by CherryGarciaMan on 1/13 at 2:30 am to kingbob There was no fire on the first floor. The fires were on floors 7-9, and 11-13, and they burned out of control due to the lack of water from the sprinkler system because of the lines being cut due to the towers falling.

The US Govt did not supply guns to anyone. Rather they had information that these were gun runners and they didn't stop them but attempted to follow the trail to the big fish. So that's your lie, heres your hypocrisy: 1. You nutjobs don't want any restrictions whatsoever on 2nd Amendment rights. Yet you believe the govt should have stopped the citizens from buying guns. 2. Even if they stopped the purchase of those particular guns, do you have any doubt they would have found other guns? I mean isn't that you yahoos mantra? If you make it harder to get guns, only criminals will be buying the guns.

If something happened to one of my children, someone would have to heavily drug me just to keep me from being hospitalized. I have seen people who have lost children. They are usually medicated for a while, their eyes are vacant, and they go from being almost unresponsive to completely inconsolable. There's no laughter. The only ones I've seen who will somewhat smile are the ones who have had a sick child for a long time, and they will give a little smile when talking about them here and there, but it's a sad, lost smile that almost always leads to tears.

The kernel allows closed source software to run on it. DMABUF, being an API that can be used externally, should be exported to be used by anyone, regardless of license. What's next? GPLing the mmap() interface and making it illegal to run non-GPL software under Linux? You seriously think that's a good thing?
This has nothing to do with licenses. This has to do with AMD and Intel trying to stay ahead of NVidia by abusing their position within the kernel developer community.

After watching the man continually bear blast for several hours, Mark could only throw bear in pure amazement. It was as if he just saw Oasis perform live!
