You just compared the performance of Linux vs. OS X on a computer designed for OS X. Now try the same on a computer designed for linux
Phoronix: Ubuntu 9.04 vs. Mac OS X 10.5.6 Benchmarks
Last year we provided benchmarks looking at Ubuntu versus Mac OS X when it came to using the latest releases for both software platforms at the time. Both operating systems had performed competitively -- in some tests, the Apple OS wound up on top while in other areas Canonical had the advantage. Since that article back in November, Apple has released a minor update to Leopard (v10.5.6) and Canonical last month released Ubuntu 9.04. We have already looked at the performance of Ubuntu's Jaunty Jackalope, and even found it to perform with old hardware, but how does it now compete with Mac OS X? We have more benchmarks this morning to continue this performance investigation.
You just compared the performance of Linux vs. OS X on a computer designed for OS X. Now try the same on a computer designed for linux
Doesn't that computer have a stock x86 CPU?
Also, from Phoronix's site description: 'Phoronix is the leading technology website for GNU/Linux and Solaris hardware news'.
I don't see any reason to post benchmarks of proprietary garbage here, honestly... there are enough Mac/Windows sites for that.
Here is a benchmark:
The video driver is all for the 3D performance.
Linux may be better for pure scientific algorithm tasks but it is full of hacks and regressions and if Compiz is enabled is even worse.
Mac rocks on Desktop and Netbook :P
Yeah, but they write Macos, before Solaris in articles and sometimes you can notice its advertisements. If Apple can why not advertising Microsoft too?
I do and I like it, but such benchmarks are only meaningful for users which don't tune their systems.I don't see any reason to post benchmarks of proprietary garbage here, honestly... there are enough Mac/Windows sites for that.
Yes, but in your benchmark . I can't imagine people replacing Linux, Solaris or FreeBSD to Macos. In real world when comes to servers Macos just doesn't exist. I hope we'll see some benchmarks with Fedora 11 and 2.6.29.Overall, Mac OS X 10.5.6 already outpaces Ubuntu 9.04 when it comes to many respects of the desktop and server performance[COLOR=#234865 ! important][COLOR=#234865 ! important][/COLOR][/COLOR].

Michael, I know you mentioned this in the article, but the Intel drivers still have many issues in 9.04, of course it would be beat easily - This article is a reflection of that. It is not representative of ubuntu 9.04 vs OS X 10.5.6
A more fair comparison would be a desktop with a graphics card that is well supported, maybe at this point some NVIDIA card, or one of the ATI's that are acutally running with fglrx in 9.04 ;-)
Well, given that almost every piece of PC hardware is "designed" for windows, happy hardware hunting.
The computers "design" is a generic x86 design, you can find the same basic machine from aopen (although speced the same it costs more then the mini)
Even if you were to use "hackintosh" methods your benchmark delta would be much the same.
It's always a great idea to test your product against the competitors. It can expose area's of weakness that needs improving.
Your right, there are not a lot of OS X servers, most xServes are used in a super computer or renderfarm fashion or serve OS X networks. That is xServes target audience.
This is interesting as it shows weaknesses and regressions.
I hope to see the same bench/comparison after the release of Fedora 11 (because it's what I'll use).
Fedora is more "bleeding edge" than Ubuntu, so I hope to see fixes especially regarding the kernel area, for the SQLite issue.
Thanks for the benchmarks michael. Haven't seen any along these lines before. Interesting java results. It will be very interesting to see 2.6.30+ based distros vs snow leopard in a few months time!

Engineering-Wise - Kamen to keynote Expo
September 29, 2012 5:15 pm | by Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of the SCTE | CommentsDean Kamen is keynoting SCTE Cable-Tec Expo. There's no way to say that without it sounding like a promotional announcement, but maybe that's what it should be.

Hernandez out to extend momentum vs. Giants
Moscoso replaces Zito, will face Rays in first start this season
While plenty of talk has surrounded the recent success of certain Rays starters, little has been mentioned about right-hander Roberto Hernandez.
However, he'll play a much more pivotal role in the Rays' rotation in the next few weeks with Matt Moore now on the disabled list.
Hernandez was dominant in his last start against the D-backs, pitching his first complete game since 2010. In the contest, he allowed two runs on five hits for his sixth win of the season.
"For him, it's kind of like a comeback season," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "For him to do something like that, it matters and I think it can create a bounce."
He'll look to keep that momentum going in Sunday's series finale against the Giants at Tropicana Field.
Meanwhile, Guillermo Moscoso will make his first start with the Giants since being acquired from the Cubs on July 26.
Taking the place of Barry Zito in the rotation, the right-hander will make his first Major League start since last Aug. 15 for Colorado at Milwaukee. Lifetime, he's 8-10 with a 4.10 ERA in 24 starts and 3-2 with a 4.42 ERA in 34 relief appearances.
"How long this will be, I can't tell you," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "But it was time to mix it up, change it up."
Moscoso tossed 2 2/3 innings of relief Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on two hits. Before that, he spent the season with the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate, going 7-5 with a 3.93 ERA in 17 starts.
Giants: Peguero expected to get September callup
Bochy said Saturday that outfielder Francisco Peguero could be part of San Francisco's September callups.
Peguro, ranked at the Giants' No. 10 prospect by MLB.com, hit .188 in a six-game stint with the club earlier this season. He also played 17 games for San Francisco in 2012.
"There's a chance we should see him in September. A good chance," said Bochy.
Rays: Longoria searching for way out of slump
Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria has continued to search for solutions to his current slump.
The Rays slugger is hitless in his last 17 at-bats, dating back to the sixth inning of Monday's contest against the Red Sox. He also hit .194 in 25 July games.
Maddon spoke to Longoria on Friday and "threw my two cents out there."
"I know I really like the coaches to coach more than I want the manager to coach," Maddon said. "Once in a while I do get involved."
Worth noting
• San Francisco is 15-22 in starts by opposing left-handed pitchers.
• Moscoso will make his third career start against the Rays. He's gone 0-1 with a 8.38 ERA in his previous two outings.

by David Brown Big-time zoom on a straightforward camera If you're looking for a high-zoom camera but don't want to overcomplicate things with controls you'll never use, then the Nikon Coolpix L820 is a great option. With powerful 30X optical zoom and easy automatic functions, your photos will be clear and detailed, even when zoomed in close on faraway subjects. And when you need to pull back for large group shots or landscapes, the L820's wide-angle lens makes it simple to fit plenty into the frame. Stellar in low light The best photo opportunities don't always happen under perfectly lit conditions. So the L820 features a backlit CMOS sensor, designed for capturing detailed images that don't look grainy when the lighting is less than perfect. Outdoors as the sun sets or indoors by candlelight, your shots will retain the rich color and beauty that you get from more ideal shooting conditions. HD video and more Just because it's not complex doesn't mean the L820 doesn't have lots of great features. Shoot gorgeous 1080p HD video and view the results on the high-resolution LCD display. You can also fire off a quick burst of shots at speeds up to 8 frames per second to freeze fast action. Creative editing features are easy to apply to photos onboard the camera, perfect for retouching portraits or adding cool effects like Selective Color for highlighting one object in a photo.

Waste of Money Written By Ed W, Henderson, NV on Monday, February 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) In less than six months, the camera will no longer power on and the lens is stuck open. I guess I will soon find out what, If anything than Nikon will or will not do for me. Pros: easy to use Cons: premature death
Coolpix L820 Written By S, Louisiana on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Takes great pix! Have tried it indoors and out, battery seems to be holding up well. Have only had it for a week tho, so would feel better about updating this review later. Pros: Take great photos in all lights Cons: None that I've found so far
Nikon Coolpix L820 Written By Carol C, Thornton, CO on Saturday, December 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love this camera, easy to use and takes great pictures. My daughter does a lot of athletic competition with Special Olympics and this camera is perfect for taking those action shots and videos! Pros: You can go quickly from still shots to videos. Cons: Haven't found any yet!
Nikon 820 Written By Richard H, Gainesville,Ga. on Wednesday, October 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Camera is not easy to set up. I still have not been able to go through menu and set all elements. I am prevented from proceeding to next element. HELP!!!!!! Pros: Light weight, like Red Color Cons: NOT easy to set up.
Great Value!! Written By Anonymous, Ogdensburg, NY on Saturday, August 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had been looking for a quality digital camera for a long time, but I was set back by some of the price points. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on a $500 unit when I came upon the Coolpix L820, It was exactly what I was looking for it was the right price and it was not overly complicated with features that I would never use. Pros: Simple to use Cons: None so far
Wonderful Camera!!! Love it Written By AlexM, San Francisco, CA on Sunday, June 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first time using a quality camera and I absolutely love it. Why? This camera has wonderful features such as: selective coloring, adjusting to different light scenarios, wonderful zoom and plenty more. I have had a very pleasant time using this camera because of how simple it is to use. I didn't have much experience previous to this camera. I love the macro feature when taking close-up photos of animals. The zoom is amazing, I can take clear, crisp photos from miles away. The video recording is really great too. I move a lot while I record and the camera stabilizes the video, making it seem as if the camera was on a tripod. I have really enjoyed this camera and fully recommend that you buy it. I will be using Nikon products from now on. Pros: High quality photos Great Zoom Many features Simple to learn to use Great video Cons: None
Love it! Written By LD, New York on Thursday, June 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just received my camera and while I have not had an opportunity to review all it's features I am impressed. The red color is beautiful. The zoom is great! You really can go far and get a crisp picture. This camera really ranks up there easily with the more expensive cameras. I purchased a $900 camera and honestly returned it for the ease and features of the L820. I really like all scene options ie close up, pet (hurray for us pet owners!), skin softening, snow, fireworks, night, & sports just to name a few. I took a few pics of my puppy of course using the pet scene selection and wow! the quiet from the camera that he didn't even notice I was taking the picture!! I also tried the sports mode and was able to take the shots with no problem, no blur at all. It takes multiple shots and you can pick from the best one. The quality and sharpness of the pictures is great and mind you this was all on auto settings. If you are move savy you can use the manual setting and I'm sure get some real fantastic looking shots in. Again, I have only used it for one day but I am thrilled and look forward to taking many more pictures and 1080P movies! Pros: great zoom, crisp vibrant pictures, excellent video quality, great shutter speed, very good low light, good stabilization, motion detection, continuous shooting, not heavy, nice to have some internal memory, over all excellent quality pictures and video. Cons: rechargeable batteries would of been nice.
Nikon Coolpix L820 Written By GordonH, Los Angeles, CA on Thursday, May 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Nikon Coolpix L820 is a small dream, packed with above average features for the average user who likes the convenience of a smart phone camera but yearns to have more creative control and a great zoom advantage. I anticipate it may qualify for 5 stars in time as I try out all the features. It appears as good of a camera twice its cost for 90+ % of my needs. Pros: I bought this as an open box, everything was there in good order, a bargain and I put the savings into an extended warranty. Picture quality is good-to-excellent for my mid level photo abilities. Cons: Its a bit heavy for my inexpensive table top tripod and for holding for long periods, compared to less expensive cameras. This is partly to do with having to hold 4 alkaline batteries.

Demystifying the Ocular Herpes Simplex Virus
Many challenges surround HSV ocular disease—from establishing the diagnosis to preventing recurrence.
In January's Feature, three experts dispel the myths and share tips to identify, classify, and tackle the disease.
Herpes simplex virus is the most common cause of infectious corneal blindness in the U.S. In "Demystifying the Ocular Herpes Simplex Virus," EyeNet asked experts to share their advice on diagnosing and managing this dangerous masquerader.
The slide show above presents various manifestations of HSV keratitis, a sight-threatening, but sometimes difficult to diagnose, condition.
(All images provided courtesy of Sonal S. Tuli, MD.)
What's your diagnosis?
Modulatory drugs are needed, and they may well come from the vast library of approved drugs. If they cannot be used off label for this research, human trials will be set back years to decades. Let's hope the recent French regulation of off-label prescribing isn't contagious.
We welcome letters on all issues raised in EyeNet, and on ophthalmology generally.
Share your thoughts with your colleagues by sending a letter to email@example.com.

split into two cases
Major Section: PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS
Example: (casesplit (< x y)) -- assuming that we are at the top of the conclusion, add (< x y) as a new top-level hypothesis in the current goal, and create a subgoal identical to the current goal except that it has (not (< x y)) as a new top-level hypothesisWhen the current subterm is the entire conclusion, this instruction addsGeneral Form: (casesplit expr &optional use-hyps-flag do-not-flatten-flag)
as a new top-level hypothesis, and create a subgoal
identical to the existing current goal except that it has the
negation of expr
as a new top-level hypothesis. See also claim
The optional arguments control the use of governors and the
``flattening'' of new hypotheses, as we now explain.
The argument use-hyps-flag
is only of interest when there are
governors. (To read about governors, see the documentation for the
command hyps
). In that case, if use-hyps-flag
is not supplied or is
, then the description above is correct; but otherwise, it is not
but rather it is (implies govs expr)
that is added as a new
top-level hypothesis (and whose negation is added as a top-level
hypothesis for the new goal), where govs
is the conjunction of the
If do-not-flatten-flag
is supplied and not nil
, then that is
all there is to this command. Otherwise (thus this is the default),
when the claimed term (first argument) is a conjunction (and
) of
terms and the claim
instruction succeeds, then each (nested)
conjunct of the claimed term is added as a separate new top-level
hypothesis. Consider the following example, assuming there are no
(casesplit (and (and (< x y) (integerp a)) (equal r s)) t)Three new top-level hypotheses are added to the current goal, namely
(< x y)
, (integerp a)
, and (equal r s)
. In that case, only
one hypothesis is added to create the new goal, namely the negation
of (and (< x y) (integerp a) (equal r s))
. If the negation of this
term had been claim
ed, then it would be the other way around: the
current goal would get a single new hypothesis while the new goal
would be created by adding three hypotheses.

Name Your #1 Turn-On? (Something That You're Instantly Attracted Too, or Makes You Hot & Horny Within Seconds)
Name Your #1 Turn-On? (Something That You're Instantly Attracted Too, or Makes You Hot & Horny Within Seconds)
My #1 Turn-On is Dirty Talking Moaners Nothing Turns Me On Faster Than A Guy or Girl Who Moans Loud, Who Moans A lot, & Who Likes To Talk Dirty While Were Fucking!!!!!
A dude rocking a pair of exciting and colourful undies.
Members: [insert appropriate/relevant wise saying or deep thought here]
Thank you.
I hope you get this message.Comments welcome.
A nice ass filling a pair of briefs. Ideally wet, ragged, or already torn.
A cute guy in ripped tight jeans
A particular kind of smile ... I couldn't even attempt to describe it.
Black hair and blue eyes.
Nice nipples - on a man of course.
Musicians, particularly pianists.
dark hair
the sensuous eyes
hot bod
awesome ass
Quiet intense men instantly attract me.
If a guy likes to get his ass out a lot, I'm sold, pretty much all the time
I should also point out that I'm usually open to suggestions. I've had things that normally don't do much for me suddenly hit me just right, and almost make me rip my jeans open. Those are always fun.
Truthfully, a guy that can rock the colour green. And plaid.
Shyness for some reason has always been a turn on for me.
Guys bigger and taller than me. Guys with cute face. (Don't really need to look like model as long as I think he's kinda cute I can get instantly attracted.) Guys with pretty eyes also really attract me for some reason. I just want to gaze into his eyes and get lost in there for hours or even days.
fat booty
unusual accents
mousey guys
All those wasted miles - all those aimless drives, through green aisles. Our careless life style: it was not so unwise.
Facial/body haired moaners
The exactly right kind of voice to do it for me. It's not a requirement, but if there's one thing I'll notice immediately above and beyond other stuff, it's that. Couldn't possibly describe the kind I mean as of course everyone's interpretation will come out different.
A big round ass
Men with beautiful eyes and eyelashes.
Plump lips.
Not-so-thin lips.
Beautiful smile. *melts*
Nice body.
Booty and hot cocks.
That's all.
"... You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you ..." - Colours of the Wind by Vanessa Williams
Muscles! A good kisser, and a guy who's funny and sweet, if you can make me laugh you're good, because its not easy. I could go on, I've got pretty high standards, but the guy aim with now seems to be doing just fine with me
there are lots of things that turn me on...
natural blond or red hair makes me turn my head. i just cant help myself. and once ive checked the guy out, i may decide that im not into him after all. but still, i have to take a look.
freckles: i melt. freckles on the shoulders: oh my god im powerless.
speaking of: wide shoulders also get my attention.
besides the same old whatever. i'd say body language. there's something about when a guy expresses his emotions and thoughts through his eyes, his mannerisms, facial expression, and etc..
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
"The surest way to make a monkey of a man is to quote him." ~ Robert Benchley
"... You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you ..." - Colours of the Wind by Vanessa Williams
Salt and pepper hairs, body and facial hairs, nice smile, and guys sporting visible undershirt
come now, my child. if we were planning to harm you, do you think
we'd be lurking here beside the path in the darkest part of the forest?
Bulge or VPL in jeans
Hairy chest
Red hair, freckles, and green or hazel eyes. Will take a la carte or as a package deal.
A nice firm butt :-p
A fit guy with a cute face makes me moan like Myrtle
"Name Your #1 Turn-On? (Something That Makes You Hot & Horny Within Seconds)"
drumroll please........
"Tact is for people who aren't clever enough to be sarcastic."
A hot guy with his ass spread open will awaken me in within seconds.
an athletic body with a light covering of hair.
Black Bentley convertibles and a seven digit bank account
FPNYAnnoying JUBBERS since 2003
I have a bit of a 'thing' for guys who wear glasses. I certainly wouldn't classify it as my #1 turn-on (there are far too many things that appeal to me on different levels and in different ways to choose just one), but I have noticed that a man becomes that little bit more attractive to me when I see him in glasses.
I wonder what that's all about?
That's what I call, "The Clark Kent" syndrome.
I could easily get off by being kissed on the neck/nipples.
I love a guy in briefs too. I would rather take them off the guy and I'd rather do it slowly.
And of course a nice ass
cleft chin !!!! So Damn SEXY!!!

The capitalistic Western nations - the US in particular - have been living way beyond their means for decades, venerating & glorifying unbridled consumerism, as the road to continued success eternal progress. And the imbecellic & insane excesses of the Bush Administratio, were the final nails in the disaster-riddled US economic coffin.
The sooner the nation shrugs off its catatonic denial of this home-truth & stops blaming the Obama Administration for the slow recovery, the sooner the nation can address the massive obstacles facing it.
Hiding the truth by repubs:
Scary that the evangelicals caved to this ideology:
Scary to say the least. Rightwing conspiracy pandering brazenly to the rich & powerful lobbies, at the expense of the middle class & working/poor Americans..

Projectors Buying Guide
In all of our lives we need time to settle down, relax and just escape from the rigors and stresses the daily grind, one of the most common ways to do this is through movies. The majority of people out there love movies and TV, we all like to just basically vegetate in front of the television from time to time to just kick back and relax, it's nice not being able to have to worry about anything for a few hours.
I for one love to watch movies, and a few TV shows now and then as a way to relax for a bit and just escape from things and to help me wind down from a long day of working, for most people the standard TV works great for doing this but some out there like to create the theater experience in their own homes. One way of doing this is buying a large screen TV, but for some that's just not big enough, that's where projectors come in, they can create, literally, a wall of visual and audio delights for everyone to enjoy, there's nothing like sitting down and watching your favorite movie, but imagine watching that movie in the privacy of your own home on a 100+ inch screen? It's like having your own private movie screen in your living room.
Projectors are a great way to have your own little private movie theater and there are numerous choices out there, and as with anything not all are created equal. Projectors are expensive, they are coming down in price as their popularity rises but they're still considered a big ticket item and it's not something that you just want to run out and buy on a whim. Some people think that buying a Projector is like buying a TV, it's not, there are several things you need to consider when thinking about purchasing a Projector.
Things to Consider When Purchasing a Projector:
Video Input Options: When you're looking to purchase a projector one of the first thing you need to figure out is what you're going to use it with and what types of connections these devices use. Basically if your DVD player has outputs for S-Video and Composite then that's all you'll need, but if you want to think ahead you might want to get a projector with many input options as you most likely will eventually upgrade that DVD player, or maybe you'll want use the projector with a gaming system as well. This might seem like an obvious thing to consider, but some projectors only come with one type of input, why they do this, I'm not sure...
Projection Image Size: This is the size of the image that the projector projects onto your wall or screen, it can be anywhere from several inches to hundreds of inches in size. How big you want of course will depend on the space you have, just make sure the projector you decide on can product an image of the size that you want. This also sort of goes hand in hand with the next consideration as well...
The Location of the Projector: What I mean by this is: where are you going to be using the projector? The reason this needs to be taken into consideration is because not all projectors work well under all lighting conditions. Mostly all projectors will work great under low lighting conditions like if you're watching a movie at night with the lights off, but if you want to watch that same movie during the day where you have lots of ambient lighting then that same projector might not work well at all. You'll need to determine what conditions you'll be using your projector in to make sure you get the correct one for you so you'll be able to use it at all times of the day. You'll need to choose a projector with a high rating for its Lumens, or Light Output if you want one that will work in most all lighting conditions. This also applies to screen size as well, the larger the image being projected, the more light it will need to be produced. Normally anything over a 3000 Lumens rating will be sufficient for most any types of lighting conditions with a home theater and will be able to produce a large projected image clearly. Of course the higher you go the better off you will be, but with the higher light output also comes a higher price tag. If you intend your projector to be used for other purposes like a business board room for example where the lighting is bright, you will want to go even higher than 3000 Lumens for a large projected image, but of course if the image is smaller you won't need that much power, 3000Lumens is good for about 100 to 150 inch display in average lighting conditions.
Size and Weight: The size and weight of the projector is also something that you might want to take under consideration, but not that important to some, it will all depend on where you intend on putting the projector. Most projectors can be mounted from the ceiling, or they can just rest on a table if need be. If you plan on mounting it from the ceiling you'll need to take that into consideration as you'll most likely need to buy mounting hardware for it and have a ceiling that can support the weight. If you're not ceiling mounting the projector you'll need to have ample space around it for good airflow as they tend to get very warm when running.
Lamp Life and Replacement Cost: One of the biggest things that people overlook and gripe about before and after buying a projector is the Lamp cost and life. A replacement lamp for a projector can cost anywhere from a couple hundreds dollars to thousands of dollars, it's certainly not something that I would want to be changing frequently at that cost. The average Lamp life is anywhere between 1,000 and 2,000 hours with of course times where it may be higher or lower than that so you can do yourself a big favor and do a bit of research into the average lamp life of the projector you intend on buying. Of course you might want to look at the cost of replacing said bulb as well as that can be a very costly expense depending on the lamp being used by the projector.
--There are newer projectors on the market today that use LEDs instead of the traditional lamps, with these types you'll never need to replace the bulb essentially, most have a rating of 10,000+ hours on them but they're not really made for large screens but can do about 60 inches diagonally very well.
Features of the Projector: What features do you want or need in a projector? And I don't just mean options to change the settings, I mean like wireless capabilities, networking, security controls or even changeable lenses.
The Remote: This is probably the most overlooked thing when considering purchasing a projector, and probably the most minor feature as well, but a remote with back lighting can be a great thing if you are watching you're movies in the dark. You don't want to be fumbling around with a remote in the dark or have to turn the lights on to access the buttons do you? Make sure the projector you are interested in comes with a fully featured remote that includes back lighting to make accessing the remote functions much easier in the dark.
Of course the best advice I can give is to do some research into the Projector that you wish to buy, with the popularity of projectors on the rise many sites have sprung up online that specialize in projectors and there you can learn the pros and cons about them.
One of the best things you can do when purchasing a projector is to see it in action, if you can go to a store where they sell the projectors you are interested in, ask them to demo them for you so you can truly see how well they work under various lighting conditions.

20467 US Hwy 166
Dexter, KS 67038
Manage: Kurt Grimm,
Phone: (620) 876-5730
The 197 acre Cowley State Fishing Lake was made available to the Kansas Forestry Fish and Game Commission in 1953.
Cowley State Fishing Lake is located 16 miles east of Arkansas City, immediately adjacent to Highway 166. The 84 acre lake was drained and rehabilitated in 1988-1989. Fish attractors were installed in the lake, and necessary maintenance was performed at that time. The lake was allowed to refill in the spring of 1989, and restocking program began that year. Water quality of the lake is excellent and extremely clear. Fish species in the lake include channel catfish, largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, walleye, crappie and flathead.
Hunting is allowed on the lake and its surrounding 113 acres. Although the area is small, hunters have success on quail, rabbits and squirrel. Waterfowl numbers are fair to good on the lake. Many nongame species are also present on the area for bird watching and photography.
- No trash policy, please take your trash with you.
- Boats for fishing only. No Wake lake.
- Vehicles must stay on maintained roads.
- No fireworks are allowed.

There's kind of an interesting dynamic between the two of them.
I'm not saying that Steve was intentionally going for anything deeper than just creating a funny story based on a dog and a rabbit who fight crime; but hardcore fans like myself can't help but obsess over our favourite characters, analyzing their psychological profiles and whatnot. (I like the word whatnot.)
So, discuss and share your insights.

Hook size: I
Yarn: I love this cotton in red, white, and yellow
I'd love to have the dimensions of this blanket. I'd like to make one as a day bed cover.
ReplyDeleteI too would love to know what your finall dimensions are. I am making it as a baby blanket, so closer to crib size. I would love it if you had a second to respond.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a gauge - as I tend to crochet a bit looser than most. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern and you were clear but I really do wish you had told the size of the finished afghan. I hope you will next time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you sooooo much. I've been trying to find this pattern for ages.
firstname.lastname@example.com Constance C Wilson
So if I wanted to make this smaller would I just work in multiplies of 14?
ReplyDeleteI just started my second blanket using this pattern. The first time I did it, I tried to add 28 to make it wider, but the count just did NOT work out. I figured it was just because I hadn't done the pattern before and I had gotten confused. I did the 183 chain and was able to complete my blanket without issue. So starting this second one I thought I would make it wider, but the count REALLY did not come out right. (I have since gone back to the 183 and it is perfect). Has anyone had success in adding or subtracting by 14?
ReplyDeletei have had the same issue as Sara Elizabeth....i was using a chunky yarn with an L hook so i reduced the stitches to 127 but it did not come out right. I had 6 or 7 stitches left after the last 14 sc, plus the last stitches tend to get fewer and fewer at every turn....can u tell me what am i doing wrong????.....i am beginner and self learning....please need help.
ReplyDeleteI'm newer to crocheting and had to diagram this one out to figure out what the pattern should look like visually and how to increase or decrease this correctly. I found that if you add or subtract in in multiples of 30 off the 183 you'll still end on the down part of the chevron. So if you go down one, it would be 153, up one chevron it would be 213.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! Oh my god, I was getting so frustrated trying to increase by 28; I kept ending up with leftover stitches. I wanted to increase by two more but I wasn't sure if it would throw off my stitch count.
Please update your pattern with this info!
I am so glad I read your comment. I have been going crazy trying to calculate the number of chain stitches I needed for a smaller version of this afghan and your calculations were perfect. I especially appreciated your explanation of doing a diagram and will revert to that when I am puzzled in the future. Thank you! Thank you!
DeleteSince this blanket is a baby / toddler blanket by adding 30 would that make it big enough for an adult?
DeleteSince this blanket is a baby / toddler blanket by adding 30 would that be big enough for an adult?
I love this modification. I have made several chevron blankets but they were more of a soft wave. i was looking for something exactly like this. I am just not sure what sk means in the pattern?
i doubled and im having 18 stitches on the end sections. its starting to get bigger as i go up.. not sure what i should do about this?
ReplyDeleteI had the same issue when I first started this. Ugh. Make sure you're skipping the second to last stitch in your rows and when you start a new row: chain 1, crochet the first stitch and then skip one.
I ended up starting over, rereading the pattern again and realized I wasn't skipping the 2nd to last chain. Kind of a bummer when you've already invested a few hours into the project. But after fixing my mistake, my edges are very straight. Good luck!
hi there i was wondering if you have a video tutorial of this ? i am desperately trying to make this blanket but i am fairly new to crocheting and i want to make this for a gift for my sister for her wedding shower. is there anyway you could help me out or anything ?
my email is either email@example.com for the google accnt
or email@example.com
I was wondering what 1P means in row 3. I am very new to reading patterns and I just want to make sure i get this right. Thank you so much! I am very excited about this pattern!
ReplyDeleteI asked my elderly friend (not old enough to be my mother!) to teach me her method of this ripple.
She knew why (I wanted to learn so everytime I made this pattern it would keep her close always). She got a huge kick out of my calls that I forgot to count. She also taught me her method of adding 4 extra stitches at each side edge to have as a border.
Those sc were done under both loops so no ridge.
Then sc through back loop (to form ridge) for 7 stitchs, and 3 sc in the 8th loop which makes the increase and point.
Then sc in next 7 ... and then skip 2 and in the 3rd hole/loop do 1 sc (decrease).
To end - then skip one space and sc under 3 remaining spaces, under both loops.
I hope I wrote that correctly. The border then looks like a garter stitch as in knitting.
From not knowing how to make this ripple to then making over 12 in short order as gifts was amazing!! Thank you for reminding me!!
For those of you having trouble with adding or subtracting stitches to alter the width of the afghan, you can always just add a few extra chains to the foundation row. Start your chain with a loose slip knot so that when you reach the width you want just undo the unstitched chains up to where it meets your last single chain.
ReplyDeleteFor any one who would rather have a formula of sorts for the pattern, instead of a jumping off point and adding 30, I figured it out.
30x+3, where x is the number of chevrons. So the original size, with 6, is 30 multiplied by 6 and add 3 equaling 183. So 7 chevrons has 213 stitches, 8 is 243, and 10 chevrons is 303. :] I hope this helps the mathier minded crochet-ers.
I love this! I am making one with Vanna' s Choice white, mustard, & 1 row charcoal grey for my new Great Grand daughter. Your directions are so easy to follow. My best friend has just finish her blanket for her great grandbabies also. We had no idea we were using the same directions. Thank you so much for posting on Pinterest!!!
Love it! But after attempting 1 row I found that since I had increased in multiples of 14 to make it bigger when I got to the end I couldnt finish with the sk 1 st and sc in last st I figured out that I didnt need multipules of 14 i needed 15 because you do the 14 sc in the foundation ch then 3sc in 1 chain (then 14sc and sk1 ch) which means 15 chains are needed not 14
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern! I just finished my first ten rows with white. I'm doing white, grey, and turquoise for mine. I've seen lots of chevron patterns, but this is the first ribbed one and I absolutely love it! The yarn I'm using is a little thinner than what you used, so I'm hoping it'll still turn out well!
ReplyDeletei love this design, love the chevron one quick question though... when your making your first row after your 183 chains and you do the 3sc in next ch which makes the point in the line....mine is starting to look like a square instead of a zig zag can you help me know what im doing wrong? either e-mail me or reply on here thanks!! love your stuff email@example.com
