ChidoriRhode IslandIt's GreatThis product wont disappoint you, it will actually spike your hair--like it stays it can. Im a female, I have longer hair so it takes patience and practice to get spikes.

ChrisAustraliaGot2b Glued Styling Spiking GlueThis is the best hair product money can buy, it lasts all day even after the most full on activities, no wind is gonna blow this stuff out. Ive been using it for about a year now and nothing compares.For amazing looking hair 24/7 use got2b Glued A+++++++ stuff its amazing i love it!!!!!!! :)posted Nov 23, 2005Link to this post
JoshBloomington, IlAwsome!This stuff really works! Got2b glued isnt for your average everyday person though. It is a revolutionary styling product for those people who cat get their hair to do anything. I have very thick and course hair and it is almost impossible to get it to do anything i want. So when i want to go out no i Got 2 Be GLUED!. It does an awsome job of keeping spikes in my hair. And the best thing is that it dosnt come out or wear out even if you sleep in it or have a hat on. It stays until i want it to.posted Oct 19, 2005Link to this post
MikePanama City Beach, FLThe BestThis is easily the best ultimate hold type gel out there. It really works. Its water-proof, workout-proof, hat-proof, club-proof, sleep-proof....almost shower-proof. Their shampoo does a good job to remove it though.posted Aug 18, 2005Link to this post
Kt ThundersBurnt Hills, New YorkGood For MohawksI used it on my mohawk, and its not that bad. If you use too much though, its never gonna stay up. If you tease your hair first like I do, it works just fine though. As long as you blowdry it because it takes forever to dry. Eh.posted Jul 27, 2005Link to this post
Jacqueline Whalen, PaMahanoy City, PAGreat Stuff!! Works For Soft, Fine Hair!!I cut off 14 inches of my hair and after gastric bypass surgery, it came back softer than ever. With the cut really really short; I couldnt get it to do anything!! After trying everything out there, I saw this product in the travel bin section at Wal-Mart. It is awesome!!! Just a dab will do you and then I use the Spiking and sometimes the Freezing Spray. I dont even have to use a comb! Just my fingers are enough to comb the glue through after rubbing it on my damp fingers. Just make sure your hair is a bit damp, DAMP, not too wet. When shampooing, leave the shampoo on a bit to make sure it all comes out and WALA, awesome style that lasts all day and is waterproof!! It even stood up to being kissed by two large Dobermans!! Awesome stuff, worth the price cause it lasts a while~~posted Jun 23, 2005Link to this post
Jared ShankBaton Rouge, LaGreat ProductI like this product as much as the others. It does the job I need it to do for my hair.posted Jun 18, 2005Link to this post
Andrea Dean Van ScoyocTampa, FLNot For Very Thin Or Baby Fine Hair...My favorite hair care product Lamaurs HT Spun Wax has disappeared from the market much to my dismay, so I set out in search of something comparable. I have heard so many people recommend the Got2B products, so I thought I would give it a try. The floor clerk at my local store, directed me to the Got2B Glued spiking glue and said that they sold "a lot" of the product. I used it just this morning and I am not happy with it. It makes the hair stiff "after" it dries. I dont have time to wait for a product to dry in my hair. When you have baby fine or thin hair, that just wont do. You have to stand there and continuously comb it, or in my case, with a flat top, pick it to make it stay in the "spiked" position until it dries. With a "wax" the set was instantaneous and I thought a "glue" would offer the same instant result. When one is trying to get ready for work, standing in front of a mirror for 5-10 minutes while a product dries in the hair, wastes time. Also if you like to "touch up" your hair during the day, with a wax, you can do so...but not with this product. If you have thick hair and dont mind stiffness, you will probably like this product, but for those of us with fine/baby fine/thin hair who like a thick wax (build up is just a part of what we live with...we are used to it) that you can comb through and re-set throughout the day and it stay locked in place through wind and the like...you will not be happy. This is a nice product (doesnt smell that great...the smell could use some work) but it is NOT for those of us with thin hair, which is why I gave it a neutral rating.posted Jun 17, 2005Link to this post

She is 16, and it was her first competiton in this season. Wait! This question will be apposite two years time, I think.
Osmond deserved the win, but unlike Adelina, this isn't her first competition of the season.
I am really impressed by the improvements in Adelina's skating, in terms of power, smoothness and interpretation this year. I think that if she can keep it together, she should do very well. She has it all.
Yuna lost her first two WC 's because she fell down a few times. She lost the GP event in Korea - was it nerves?
By her high standards Yuna bombed her SA LP at Lake Placid and was beaten by Flatt in the LP. Yuna afterwards admitted it was nerves.
She also lost Wolrds in 2010 and 2011 because she fell and made other mistakes.
There can be circumstances that effect skaters - injuries, growth spurts, new programs, exhaustion, not enough training time, etc.
After looking into the scoring it seems fair to say Adelina gave away a minor senior B title she could have won.
How is that any different than all of the times we saw Yuna give away titles she could have won?
Yuna is a great champion. Adelina may become a great champion. So far Adelina has shown she is a beautiful skater who like Yuna never misses a podium.
Neither girl won everytime she competed. If you want to compare Yuna to Adelina atleast be fair in your comparisons.
BTW, Adelina was a year younger than Yuna when she skated her first senior GP season.
Anyway, nobody wins all the time. I think skaters who always make the podium are showing exceptional qualities and abilty.

Isn't it nice that we are now talking about some of the younger skaters like Adelina and Kaetlyn? I have a feeling the new kids are going to shake up the skating world this year. Maybe not win everything in sight but makes the older skaters realize that now begins the sprint to Sochi. Thank God Worlds won't be just about skaters we've been watching for 6-7 years now.
Do you know, that Plushy missed the podium one time- in 2000 WCH, he was 4th- since 1998, when he has debuted in senior comepetitions, and he was 15 y.o.?
Except 2000, he was two times 3th in 1998, since 1999 he has never been worse than 2th(in total he was only 6 times) in any competitons...

I did think of Plushy's amazing competitive record but since we were talking about Ladies I didn't bring him up.
I guess Sonja always won (oops - at age 12 she came in dead last at her first Olympics) - - but that is a much different era. Button too had an impressive streak.
In recent times I think Scott Hamilton had a pretty good streak - like 4 years without a loss. But also a different era without GP events, 4CC.

What is Kwan's record - 8 straight years of making the Worlds podium, winning it 5 times? Plus two Olympic podiums in that same period?
A streak like this might never be seen again.
If we talk about Ice Dancing, I think Grishuk-Platov's record is unbreakable: from 1994 when they won the Olympics 'till their retirement in 1998, they have always been first in every competition they entered, with 17 consecutive gold medals! But I think Yu-Na remains the only female skater in the last 50 years who have never finished off the podium in her entire career! Adelina is obviously different, every skater has his/her own personality and we can't blame her because of this, she is just 16 and she has plenty of time to mature psychologically!
Give her a break; she is young. Let her grow; Osmond did well but the question now will Osmond be able to handle the pressure of being in Canada searching for a female hero?
Based on some previous posts I wanted to echo that sure it was Sotnikova's first compeition of the season and she has a long season ahead of her and could improve and do great but this performance does look a lot like all her performances at all stages of the season last season. A clean performance is not necessary to win but it would be nice if she gave one and because she can rarely ever win an event it seems to be what she needs to win. So I don't know what any problem could be but at her first GP event in a few weeks I will totally reserve judging her and just her performance. Like at Nebelhorn somethiing happened where a three jump combo was not done even when it could have been and that may not be repeated. The singling of a jump when a triple was done of that jump earlier happens. She lost Nebelhorn because of it but maybe at the GP event that wont happen and if it did maybe it wouldn't prevent vicotry.
Skate america was a terrible collapse from nebelhorn! She needs more help.

A yummy tomato soup with a secret. Shhh! |
Sneaky Tomato Soup
A old school family favorite- tomato soup. Right? Here's an easy kid-friendly recipe. With a secret. When I was a little girl cabbage was a stinky word. Cabbage was something you wrinkled your nose at. The mere mention of the word conjured the smell of my grandmother's house- which was, in truth, an olfactory bouquet of Lucky Strikes, boiled eggs and kielbasa. Cabbage was only the top note. And how I hated it.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 sweet onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 small head green cabbage, cored, chopped
4 carrots, peeled, chopped
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 28-oz can Muir Glen Organic Crushed Tomatoes with Basil
2 14-oz cans Muir Glen Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles- use plain tomatoes for a milder taste
A quick splash of balsamic vinegar- or cider vinegar
A pinch of organic sugar or dab of organic raw agave
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
Fresh water, as needed
Heat a soup pot over medium high heat and pour in the olive oil. Add the onions and stir to cook. When the onions have softened, add the garlic, sweet potato, cabbage and carrots. Season with sea salt and ground pepper. Stir and cook for ten minutes or so to soften a bit.
Serves 4 to 6.
Yes, this can be easily cooked all day in a slow cooker. Just remember to open a window. (Just kidding. Really. It smells yummy. No crinkled noses.)
This recipe is South Beach Diet friendly in phase allowing carrots; or omit.

Sid87 take a Spoink. It must use Magic Coat to succesfully reflect 5 effects before evolving. Also, it has to have Power Gem and use it to defeat at least 3 pokemon with gems in their bodies (besides the Spoink line) before it can use TMs.
Sid87 take a Spoink. It must use Magic Coat to succesfully reflect 5 effects before evolving. Also, it has to have Power Gem and use it to defeat at least 3 pokemon with gems in their bodies (besides the Spoink line) before it can use TMs.
May I have a nickname for the Spoink, please?
1) Hot-Head the Litwick
Litwick cant use fire moves
Free to evolve into lampet.
Lampet must solo Colress on the Frigate, and Kyurem in his cave.
After this can evolve into Chandleure.
Chandleure batttles N's Zekrom in the post game
2) If Tsubaki/female, Tsubaki is a sweet flower and wants to protect and fight hard for her master, but has a strict code of honor. She must defeat all team Plasma Grunts before Burgh to evolve into Servine. She is desperate to seek affection and acknowledgement of her worth, and also must solo the DriftveilTournament to evolve into a Serperior; If Marluxia/male, Marluxia is a vain and commanding pokemon, and while he may listen, will do whatever it takes to win. He must solo Roxie to evolve into a Servine. However, he does not disrespect his trainer, and wants to help him on his journey. He must solo all rival battle after Burgh.
3) - Take an Azurill named Hopper (I am bad with nicknames...)
- Its ability must be Huge Power.
- It cannot evolve into Marill until it learns Bounce (lv 23), which it can never forget.
- To evolve into Azumarill, it must beat two wild Azumarill.
- It cannot learn Return until it becomes an Azumarill.
- It cannot forget Return after it learns it.
4) Psaro the Axew. will only undergo his first evolution after his descent into Nadiria Reversal Mountain, which he must solo. Bianca will persist in following him around, so Psaro must attack her Pokemon on alternate turns in all tag battles in the mountain. To reach his final form Psaro must obtain the Secret of Evolution, which takes the form of a Power Bracer that he must always keep hold of.
5) Magnemite, nickname it Unrealist. It must have Sturdy as its ability, and it must be at level 11 when you catch it. It may not participate in your battle against Roxie, you must put it in your PC during the battle. However, it must solo one of the regular trainers in the Gym before you challenge the leader. After that, it must evolve into Magneton on Route 4 after soloing the breeder there seven times and defeating the Mandibuzz that appears there. Then, it must be in the lead spot in your party when you battle Clay. It may only evolve into Magnezone after you have visited Undella Town for the first time, you must then walk back through Reversal Mountain with Magneton in your lead spot, take the plane to Mistralton and evolve it in Chargestone Cave. Finally, it must learn two moves through TM while its two remaining moves must be one Electric-type and one Steel-type move.
6) Spoink. It must use Magic Coat to succesfully reflect 5 effects before evolving. Also, it has to have Power Gem and use it to defeat at least 3 pokemon with gems in their bodies (besides the Spoink line) before it can use TMs.
Interesting team. I'll post updates here as I go, and perhaps I'll get started tonight.
Hey, everyone. Glad there's an actual forum for challenges now I have't played Pokemon in a while, but I'm really in the mood right now, so let's get a Pokemon Black 2 Scramble going!
Pokemon from any Generation, no restrictions! I'd like to, however, be able to start with a least 3 of my Pokemon right off the bat, so please state if I am allowed to start with the given Pokemon or not. Looking forward to some interesting suggestions!
Last edited by Monochromatic; 8th February 2013 at 4:13 PM.
Monochromatic, take a Tangela. You cannot start off with it. Tangela must knock out Cobalion, Virizion, or Terrakion by itself before it is able to evolve.
Planned FR/LG Team
Monochromatic, in keeping with your forum nick take a Duskull named Greyscale. It may only use Normal and Dark moves; Hidden Power is permitted. Evolve to Dusclops whenever, but never to Dusknoir because Dusknoir's got loads of yellow on him. In the unlikely event you get a shiny Duskull it may instead only use Fire and Fighting moves.
Monochromatic, take a Solosis, use it as one of your starters. It must evolve into Duosion inside of Mistralton Cave, and it must solo all trainers in the Strange House in order to evolve into Reuniclus. Nickname it GreenFloat.
Take a Pichu. You can start with it. It must survive 5 super effective hits before it can evolve to a Pikachu.
As a Pikachu, It must be hit by each type of move (water, fire, grass, etc... all 17 of them) twice each before it can become a Raichu.
If you want a nickname, call it Rider.
Monochromatic, take a Carvanha with which you can start. It cannot evolve until it defeats 12 trainer's Pokémon with the effect of Rough Skin (The Pokémon has just to be Koed by that effect, but you can leave it in red HP attacking and then wait until they attack you for the Rough Skin KO.) Also, it can never forget Scary Face after it learns it. Name it Skinner.
I am Spanish, so my English isn't very good.
Spoiler:- Completed Challenges:
3DS Friend Code: 2191-8109-9121. Friend Safari: Flying: Swanna / Spearow / Hawlucha. PM me so that I can add you!
Alright, so we have:
1) Tangela: Cannot start with it. Must solo Virizion/Cobalion/Terrakion to evolve.
2) Duskull (Greyscale): Can only learn Dark and Normal type moves. Can only evolve to Dusclops.
3) Solosis (GreenFloat): Starter. Evolve in Mistralton cave. Solo Strange House to evolve again.
4) Pichu (Rider): Starter. Survive 5 SE hits to evolve to Pikachu. Be hit by 2 attacks of each type to evolve to Raichu
5) Carvanha (Skinner): Starter. 12 Rough Skin KO's to evolve. Can never forget Scary Face.
6) ???
Need 1 more to go!
Last edited by Monochromatic; 9th February 2013 at 9:39 AM.
I didn't mean Pikachu had to survive two hits of each type... it just has to be hit by them. But if you want the challenge to by slightly harder... go ahead and make it so it has to survive them. Your discretion.
I knew what you originally meant, and I'll keep it your way. I better fix that wording then. =p Is it only direct-damaging attacks or any move, though?
Hey, I'm hoping to start a Scramble on my Black 2. I only have two restrictions, no Stunfisk, and no repeating types. I don't care what restrictions you put on my Pokemon and what the yare as long as they follow these rules. Thanks!
Tarro57, take a Spoink. Name it Baco-Psy. It must solo four trainers in Reversal Mountain and five on Route 14 before evolving.
Okay, so I have:
Tepig - Butterbean
Must solo Burgh without any fire type moves to become Pignite and must be Max Revived 3 times before becoming Emboar.
Spoink - Baco-Psy
Must solo four trainers on Reversal Mountain and five on Route 14 before becoming a Grumpig.
Piloswine - Dandruff
Must solo Marlon's Carracosta and use Ancient Power on it to evolve.
Venipede - Trollipede
Must have either a Att. or Sp. Att. lowering nature and only use moves of that stat. Must solo Roxie's Whirlipede to become one, and solo Elesa while paralyzed to evolve again.
Krabby - Spoilsport
Must always know Mud Sport. Must solo all of 20 trainers electric Pokemon. (It is impossible to get Krabby until you have the Super Rod which you don't get before the Electric Gym)
Sunkern (Male) - Flo
Must solo Clay to evolve (can't learn Petal Dance until it's a Sunflora). Must always know Petal Dance.
Thanks everybody!!! I shall start my adventure ASAP!

Oh, that makes more sense, editted it.
I just realized 100% of your team is swine-based so far. How many more pig pokemon are there? You should get them all.
Well since we're at it..
Tarro57 take a Piloswine. Evolve it after it beats Marlon's Carracosta. It muse also use Ancientpower on Carracosta at least once.
Well, since I'm a party pooper(and there are no more pig Pokemon)...
Tarro57, take a Venipede. It must either have an Attack- or Special Attack-lowering nature, and can only use moves that are off the lowered attacking stat, so if it had a minus Attack, it would only be allowed to use physical moves and vice versa. It must solo Roxie's Whirlipede to evolve into Whirlipede, and it must solo Elesa while paralyzed to evolve into Scolipede. Name it Trollipede.
I have discovered what a signature is.
This is Bidoof. Many people loathe it with their lives. If you are of the few people who love this little beaver, put this in your sig. Started by Warrior Scolipede
I've claimed Castform. It will never rain on my parade.
Tarro57, take a Krabby and name it Spoilsport.
It must learn Mud Sport as soon as possible from the Move Relearner, if it does not already have it, and can never forget Mud Sport. It must use Mud Sport at least once per Trainer Battle that it participates in (switching out does not reset this count, so you can use it then switch out to a different Pokemon). Also, it may only evolve after soloing ALL Electric-Type Pokemon of 10 different trainers having 1 or more Electric-Type Pokemon, as well as (but not including to the previous) soloing your choice of one of Elesa's Pokemon.
One problem, Whirlipede needs to solo Elesa all the way, and how about it just has to always have Mud Sport, not have to use it every battle though.
In the end it's up to you. So, O.K, it has to have Mud Sport and never forget it.
K guys, one more needed!!! Piloswine also still needs nicknamed if anybody wants to do that!

giftery.me has shutdown as of march 31st
Hello there visitor -
Picking the right gift is hard, so 3 years ago we started Giftery.me to help figure out what our friends & family liked. From a personal project into a startup business, our goal has been to provide anyone with a single place to save and share everything they wanted, no matter the store it came from, no matter the occasion, and, after nearly 3 years, thousands have joined in.
However, while we have been proud to host many wishlists and partner with thousands of great stores, we have not had the response needed to continue growing so, effective March 31st, we have shut down our registry service.
These days, there's many other options available for creating a list from
but, for an independent, registry-like experience, we suggest giving
a try. To get an export of a past list or for any other questions,

On behalf of the entire team, our sincere apologies for any impact this decision may cause you and thank you so very much for giving us a try. It's been one heck of an adventure.

Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?
25 posts
• Page 1 of 1
Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?Hi All,
I'm currently in the market to buy a front bike light for training and commuting in the dark (Early mornings and in the evenings) and i'm looking for something that will allow me to see in the dark at speeds of around 28-30km+ per hour. I'm looking at the Cygolite Expilion 350 http://www.pushys.com.au/cygolite-expilion-350-front-handlebar-light.html but not sure how bright it is. Has anyone got any experience with this light and how bright is 350 lumens exactly? If you guys can give me some thoughts or opinions it would be greatly appreciated, keeping in mind my budget is only around $100. Thanks
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?I have the Cygolite Expilion 250 and I find it is decent enough for 28-30km but pushing it is not advised. My assumption is the 350 will be better so you will probably be able to go quicker, safer.
The Cygolites have a narrowish light spread which is probably it's only downfall. It's bright, they do last 10 hours (on med/low/flash) as they mention and the rechargable battery is nifty At $100, that is a great deal too. I paid about $115 for the 250. Adam
Specialized Sirrus 2011 Avanti Quantum 2.0 2011
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?Awesome light for the money.
I bought one for my wifes bike and I have Ay Up's. The 350 is almost as bright and far less of a PITA with no external battery pack.
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?My willpower to resist accessorising is pathetic. Saw this thread so went to Pushys, registered and bought the 350. Already have the Expilion 250 and it's great so this should be greatER.

Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?
+1 I originally got the 250 last year but after I saw the 400 released I sold it to a mate and got the 400. Great light been using it for my commutes to and from work and early morning rides. The 400 includes the helmet mount but I have only used it on the handlebar. That said, I'm looking at the Lupine Pico TLs......
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?I run the Cygolite 410 on my roadie, bought from ebay for $108 delivered. My brother tried to convince me to go Ay Up, but I couldn't justify the extra $.
More than capable on the boost setting at 30+km/h on the dark unlit paths up here. Why oh why did I wait so long to buy one I suffered with a 4xAA Cateye for a year before getting the Expilion. 2012 Merida Reacto 904
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?+1
I have the Expillion 250 and find it great as a "be seen light" on blinky mode, and fanstastic as a "see where you are going" light on high beam. With 2 other light settings to boot - it is the only light you really need for road cycling. The 350 can only be better and for $99 it's a no brainer.

Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?Yes I'm interested too, bikes.com.au has the 350 for $99, my 120 lumen Aldi light is pretty marginal when riding along the cycleway at 30+kph before the sun comes up :S
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?I've been using the Cygolite Expilion 350 for a few weeks now. I've already been using a 250 for about a year. Yeah - it is a fair bit brighter than the 250. I happily ride at night with it at speeds of 25-30. It does have a narrow beam but a friend of mine bought the Moon X-Power 300 and we've ridden side by side comparing his 300 Lumens to my 250 (before the new 350). His light beam is much broader but we agreed the Expilion offers better lighting where you need it most - right in front of you.
I'm happy with the 350. Giant TCR Adv 0 Di2 SE Draft Lite SS Felt Dispatch SS Surly Cross Check CX Fuji Nevada 3.0 MTB Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race. H G Wells

Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?
I'd say the difference between the two is night and day (boom-tish). I have the Cygolite Expilion 400, there is what I assume is the '350' setting (as that setting has the same burn time as the 350). Here's a good representation of the light at '350' setting from my average camera, it's a little bit brighter than the photo makes out: And at booster (400) setting:
Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?Used it this morning in the dark and WOW! I am very impressed. The light is brighter than I thought even when going in excess of 40+ kms (probably not recommended in the dark LOL) as it allowed me to anticipate what's coming up ahead.
It's very bright with the boost setting, only con I can think of is that the light beam could be wider. But apart from that I am very happy with the purchase. For the price of $99 you can't go wrong. Highly recommend the light...
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?Bring a thread waaaay back from the dead rather than creating a new one...
9 months after this thread 'ended', I'd be curious for some further views on this light. I'm looking to spend under 100 on something that I can use as a flashing "be seen" light, as well a good, bright "be able to see" light. Would you recommend this one? Wiggle are recommending Cateye (they don't stock Cygolite), but after an afternoon on the phones to LBS's, this seems the best bang for buck.

Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?No problems after a year of use. Very handy.
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?
I'm in the same boat right now and have been doing a bit of research. I am drawn to the new Cygolite Expillion 600. Good reviews. You can compare the 350 and 600 beams in this light shoot-out: http://www.modernbike.com/light-compari ... leshotplus The 600 and 700 are the new series that have a feature which gives a solid light for you to see but at the same time emitting a flashing light outwards for people to see you from more angles (apparently). At the moment, it can be had for $99 USD from Amazon + shipping but landed it will be marginally over $100 with exchange rate etc. Shouldn't be more than $115-120 AUD. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/ ... dition=new Note that not all of the vendors ship overseas but there is one called 'Bicycle Outfitters' in that list who do - this is the way I am thinking of heading. This light can't be had anywhere near this price in AUS at the moment.
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?Jzr, thanks for the heads up about that lights comparison and the Amazon retailer that ships to here - i'm looking at supplementing my cygolite expilion 250 after it run out of puff at the end of a 3.5 hr nite ride and the 600 or 700 looks like it offers the best output for the cost. Just for the record, i paid $100 for the 250 about a year ago and it is still going strong, although realistically, 3 hrs on high is its limit. Being the same shape as the 250, i'll be able to pop it on the bike and the minister for finance would be none the wiser too.
On another tack, i've used my expilion 250 for 30 min during a torrential thunderstorm while clearing leaves from a roof gutter so i can vouch that it is well and truely water resistant.
Re: Cygolite Expilion 350 Front Bike Light?Thanks for the info guys.
The Cygolite Turbo 740 that I was initially looking at must be on clearance to make way for those new models. After my LBS was holding my one for 85 bucks, I had to ring them up today and cancel it - I did even better than that! http://www.pushys.com.au/cygolite-turbo-740-front-handlebar-light.html This has been marked down to $99, but it's part of their Boxing Day clearance sale, which has 40% off everything. So all up this light cost me 60 bucks. It was so much cheaper than I'd budgeted for, I got myself a Tioga one-eye light that I'm led to believe can go on the back of my helmet, reduced from $25 down to $4, as well as a cheap Tioga 5 led front light that I can use as a flashing light alongside the headlight, or can be used as a back up in desperate circumstances. This was reduced from 30 bucks to 10, and there was 40% off that too. So I'm waiting on a a duel eye rear light - but I got the headlight, rear helmet light and back up headlight/flashing light for 70 bucks. Stoked.

Hooksett Police Commission walks away
"It was totally unexpected," said At-Large Town Councilor Leslie Boswak who, like other members of the council, received an email from Town Administrator Dean Shankle that Chairwoman Joanne McHugh and Commissioners Kenneth Scherer and Clark Karolian had resigned. The commission was working to implement a final round of recommendations developed from a police department audit conducted by the Public Safety Strategies Group.
"I would definitely be interested in hearing what they have to say," he added.
Shankle said the Police Commission is charged with overseeing the department through Jan 9, 2014.
"I will have to check with the town attorney to see if there is any possible plan B," he said, adding it would be up to the Town Council to appoint three new commissioners for the remainder of the term.
Any spending beyond that must be approved by the Police Commission, which provides administrative oversight for the police department. And as Shankle pointed out, $2,000 isn't enough to fully equip a new officer if Bartlett needed to add someone to the current department.
Over the past year, the Hooksett Police Commission had come under fire for what some residents and officials saw as a tendency to micro-manage the town police force. Commissioners were also criticized for taking more than a year to hire a permanent replacement for former Chief Stephen Agrafiotis, who officially resigned in February 2012, after years of controversy marked by paid administrative leaves, a no-confidence vote from some of the department's officers and a three-day suspension over a budget issue that was ultimately overturned by a Merrimack County Superior Court judge.
Although there were complaints about the Police Commission, the three commissioners also had the support of some residents and town officials.
Lizotte said the commissioners showed they had the strength not to become prey to internal pressures.
Still, Lizotte said government moves on and he is looking ahead to working with fellow councilors on the next phase of the commission. He said he had complete confidence in any decisions from Shankle, who hopes to recruit three new commissioners as quickly as possible
"Whatever happens, the police department will continue to function," she said. "It will be totally seamless."

A village, poisoned: the toxic trail of China's coal industry
Dec 19, 2013
U.S. coal producers hope to export coal from the Pacific Northwest to China. The world's second biggest economy burns more coal than the rest of the world combined. That's generated record levels of air pollution in China, and polluted waterways, too.
Will China buy American coal?
Dec 18, 2013
U.S. coal companies have hit hard times. Domestic demand is drying up, and global prices for coal are hitting record lows. What to do? The industry is looking across the Pacific to China for help, and is planning to build coal terminals in Washington to export coal from Montana's Powder River Basin to the world's second-biggest economy. But is China interested in American coal?

Rep. Keith Ellison hammers Sean Hannity: You're a shill for the Republican Party
By Eric W. Dolan
Tuesday, February 26, 2013 22:44 EST
Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota ripped into Fox News host Sean Hannity during a tense interview on Tuesday night.
Hannity began his segment by claiming President Barack Obama was to blame for looming across-the-budget cuts known as the sequester. The conservative Fox News host insisted the President was "fearmongering" about the consequences of the cuts and played an irreverent mash-up of Obama's recent speeches.
"You're the worst excuse for a journalist I've ever seen," Ellison said after being introduced.
Hannity asked for Ellison to repeat himself, claiming he couldn't hear him. Instead, Ellison continued to blast Hannity, saying his mash-up was deceptive "yellow journalism" and a "breach of every journalistic ethic I know of." Ellison told Hannity he was a "shill for the Republican Party," but Hannity repeatedly insisted he was a "registered conservative."
"Keep going, keep ranting," Hannity said.
Ellision said it was wrong for Hannity to blame Obama for the sequester. The across-the-board spending cuts were part of a political deal to raise the federal debt ceiling in 2011. The sequester was intended to be so painful that it would force Republicans and Democrats to compromise on a plan to reduce the federal deficit. Ellison noted a so-called "super committee" that was supposed to hash out a deal had failed and blamed the failure on Republicans' stubborn opposition to raising taxes.
The two men continued to exchange barbs. Eventually, Hannity asked Ellison about the "immoral" debt.
"You're immoral," Ellison replied. "You say things that aren't true."

Swedish/Issaquah to Announce Partnership with ISC Gunners
News Release

Erin McCullough, Swedish 425-313-2336
ISSAQUAH - April 3, 2014 - Swedish/Issaquah is delighted to announce a new partnership with Issaquah Soccer Club (ISC) Gunners, a not-for-profit youth soccer organization serving over 300 youth soccer teams and 3000 children on the Eastside.
ISC Gunners is dedicated to helping children learn, compete and grow as athletes and valuable members of the community. ISC offers programs that introduce players to the game at a very young age (under age 5) and provides development programs for players competing at the highest levels, which includes fielding teams in the Premier Development League and Women's Premier Soccer League.
This sponsorship is part of Swedish/Issaquah's ongoing commitment to promote health and well-being in the communities it serves.
Swedish Community Specialty Clinic's impact profiled
The Swedish Community Specialty Clinic, which provides free specialized care for low-income patients, was recently profiled by the Catholic Health Association of the United States. The piece looks at the clinic's impact on patient care and the savings it has generated by reducing unnecessary Emergency Department visits. Clinic Manager Tom Gibbons is quoted in the piece.
In February, Swedish was recognized for Outstanding Community Outreach by Seattle Business magazine, an award that cited the work of the Community Specialty Clinic, among other efforts.
In 2013, the Swedish Community Specialty Clinic received the Mission Leadership Award from Providence Health & Services. Swedish, a secular hospital system, is affiliated with Providence, a catholic health care ministry.

Perspectives on Health Care
From the desk of Swedish Health Services Chief Executive Anthony (Tony) A. Armada, FACHE
Dear Friends of Swedish,
During the four months since I started as Swedish's Chief Executive, I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with many of you and to learn your thoughts about Swedish, and share mine.
I am writing today to reach out to those of you I have not yet met in person. So, until I get that chance, I want to introduce myself and share some of my thoughts about this great health system.
As I am sure you know, this is a unique and very challenging time in the health care industry. The financial and economic pressures we face are significant, and both the environment we work in and the rules we must follow are changing rapidly.
Nevertheless, I am pleased to report that Swedish has never been stronger. This is true from both a financial perspective and in terms of our ability to care for the patients and families who come to us for care. We are, in 2014, able to serve more patients, deliver more babies, provide more charity care for more individuals and families and see more visitors in our neighborhood clinics than ever before.

The DarkHorse Golf Club in south Nevada County has been sold to a Chinese investment firm based in Irvine, Calif.
Asia Pacific Group, which was founded in July 2012 and is currently active, according to the California Secretary of State, bought the golf course and 75 residential lots for an undisclosed amount in early January, according to Rod Metzler, CEO of Empire Golf.
Empire Golf manages the golf course, which has been ranked in the top 10 in California by Golf World Magazine, and one of the Top 10 (courses) You Can Play in America by Golf Magazine. Golf Digest honored DarkHorse as one of its Best New Affordable Public Courses in the early 2000s.
The course, which was designed by Keith Foster, is renowned for being a challenging but playable course that is affordable for most recreationists (with a round of golf priced at $45-70, depending on the time of day and the season), Metzler said.
"The original developers had a great vision for a course, unfortunately, their timing wasn't good," Metzler said.
Originally advertised as the "street of dreams," the luxury development located next to the Lake of Pines was first opened by Ed and Chad Fralick in 2002.
The Fralicks soon ran into financial trouble and defaulted on the property in 2007, when Owens Financial Group, which was the original lender on the project, bought the property.
Metzler said he is excited that Asia Pacific Group has taken over, as Owens Financial Group's primary mission is to lend money, not run golf courses.
By all accounts, Asia Pacific Group is ready to invest in a significant upgrade of infrastructure at the golf course, which is direly needed, Metzler said.
The golf course lacks working bathrooms, and golfers are forced to used portable facilities.
Fixing the on-course bunkers and constructing a clubhouse on the premises are also in the works.
"They never put a clubhouse in," Metzler said, adding the lack of a clubhouse impeded the ability to host fundraisers, social events and other functions.
The new ownership group has discussed the possibility of adding a golf academy located near the driving range.
"It would be a combination of a golf academy and school," Metzler said. "It's one of the visions of the new owners."
National statistics compiled by National Golf Foundation, a Jupiter, Fla.-based golfing association that reports on the economics of golf, indicates the total amount of rounds played on courses in the United States fell by 2.5 percent from 2010 to 2011.
California, however, bucked the national trend, witnessing a 2.3 percent increase over the same time period, according to the national report.
The report is based on rounds-played data provided by operators of approximately 4,000 golf courses nationwide.
Metzler said a number of factors contribute to the national decline in rounds played, including the time it takes to play and the ever-expanding portfolio of recreational options.
Locally, the Sacramento area witnessed an influx of new golf courses in the early 2000s, resulting in a saturated market, Metzler said.
He still believes the future of the sport is bright, however.
"Whether you walk or ride, it is a healthy activity," he said. "Also, a golf course is a beautiful place to be."
To contact Staff Writer Matthew Renda email mrenda@theunion or call 530-477-4239.
"The original developers had a great vision for a course, unfortunately, their timing wasn't good."

Slugging surge: Mesoraco eyes homer in sixth straight
Latos, Jackson take hill as backstop looks to match catcher's mark
Devin Mesoraco could make history on Wednesday.
Cincinnati's catcher has homered in five straight games, and he has a chance to tie the all-time record for big league catchers by going deep against the Cubs. Mesoraco has already tied the Reds' team record, which had been done five times previously.
Mesoraco, just 26 years old, is already in the midst of a career season. The former first-round draftee has set a career high with 14 homers in just 43 games, and he's two RBIs shy of setting a new personal best. But he'll be chasing something different in the Friendly Confines as he looks to match Walker Cooper, who holds the all-time mark for catchers as the only one to have homered in six straight games. And MLB.com will provide live look-ins of Mesoraco's at-bats on Wednesday to see if he can do just that.
Cooper, who caught for the New York Giants, accomplished his feat in 1947. Two other catchers -- Buster Posey and A.J. Pierzynski -- went deep in five straight games. With his five straight power-packed games, Mesoraco joined Adam Dunn (2008), Ken Griffey Jr. (2003), Johnny Bench (1972), George Crowe (1957) and Ted Kluszewski (1954) as Reds who've homered in five straight games.
"I think that the coolest thing, is just the company that that puts me with," Mesoraco said. "Those guys were incredible hitters, and for my name to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys, that's pretty cool."
Mat Latos will take the ball for Cincinnati. The start will be the right-hander's third of the season after missing the first two-and-a-half months recovering from right elbow and left knee surgeries, as well as a strained right forearm.
Over his first two starts -- both no-decisions -- Latos has posted a 3.86 ERA, but with varying results. He was very good in his first outing, tossing six shutout innings against the Brewers in Milwaukee on June 14, but he surrendered five runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 frames against the Blue Jays last Friday.
"I felt better making my rehab starts than I have in the two starts I've had in the Major Leagues so far," Latos said on Tuesday. "It was a pain-in-the-[butt] process, but you've got to go through it and you've got to do what you've got to do."
Veteran right-hander Edwin Jackson will take the mound for the Cubs. Jackson has struggled this season, but most of his problems have come on the road. Away from the Friendly Confines, he's posted a 1-6 record with a 6.70 ERA. But at Wrigley, he is 4-1 with a 3.48 ERA.
In his most recent start, a home outing against the Pirates last Friday, Jackson tossed four scoreless innings before giving up three runs in the fifth and departing after 86 pitches due to cramping in both of his calves.
"Honestly, I felt like they had no chance," Jackson said of Pittsburgh hitters after that game. "That was just the mind frame I was in. ... The way I was able to get in a rhythm with [catcher John] Baker and really being able to command the strike zone, mixing it up, I felt like I was going to go pretty deep in that game."
Chicago hopes Jackson can carry that rhythm over to Wednesday's start, as the Cubs try to become the first NL Central team to hand Cincinnati a series loss in 2014.
Reds: Phillips still day to day with bruised heel
Second baseman Brandon Phillips missed his second consecutive game on Tuesday due to a bruised right heel. He sustained the bruise when his bat hit the heel on a backswing during an at-bat in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Phillips resumed some baseball activities on Tuesday, and manager Bryan Price hinted that he would have made Phillips a late addition to the lineup if he felt up to it.
Skip Schumaker once again took Phillips' place at second base. Price said Schumaker, who also plays in the outfield, was a valuable offseason acquisition for situations like these.
"He just has the type of fight and intensity that you want, and other guys can feed off that," Price said. "He's a great example-setter for how we want to do things, and his flexibility is key."
Cubs: Castro enjoying success as cleanup hitter
Shortstop Starlin Castro didn't expect to be put into the cleanup spot of the Cubs' batting order when he opened the 2014 season, but even though he has typically hit second throughout his career, he's performed extremely well in the No. 4 spot.
Castro, who was slotted into the cleanup spot on April 25 and has been there ever since, is batting .284 with 23 doubles, 11 home runs and 44 RBIs, already equaling his RBI total from last season.
"It's not that I think Starlin is a prototypical fourth hitter," manager Rick Renteria said on Tuesday, "but based on the guys I had and how we use them, he ended up filling that slot for us."
Worth Noting
• Cubs hitters haven't had much success against Latos. Castro is 6-for-25 (.240) with five strikeouts in his career against the right-hander. First baseman Anthony Rizzo is 2-for-12 (.167). Right fielder Nate Schierholtz is 6-for-30 (.200) with six strikeouts. Second baseman Darwin Barney is 1-for-15 (.067) with four strikeouts.
• Several Reds have had success in their careers against Jackson. Center fielder Billy Hamilton is 3-for-7 (.429) against the right-hander. Third baseman Todd Frazier is 4-for-12 (.333) with a double and four RBIs. First baseman Joey Votto is 8-for-21 (.381) with three doubles, two homers and two RBIs. Catcher Brayan Pena is 5-for-11 (.455) with a double, two homers and three RBIs.

Pronounced: pak-lih-TAX-uhl
Classification: Antimicrotubule Agent, Taxane
Paclitaxel is a plant alkaloid that was developed from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree. Paclitaxel works by disrupting the microtubular network essential for cell division and other normal cellular functions, eventually causing cell death.
Paclitaxel is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion weekly or every 3 weeks. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer, and mode of administration. You will be given several medications before the infusion to prevent an allergic reaction.
Even when carefully and correctly administered by trained personnel, this drug may cause a feeling of burning and pain. There is a risk that this drug may leak out of the vein at the injection site, resulting in tissue damage. If the area of injection becomes red, swollen, or painful at anytime during or after the injection, notify your doctor or nurse immediately. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed by your doctor or nurse.
Paclitaxel is broken down in the body by enzymes that also break down other medications. This can cause the levels of paclitaxel in your blood to be affected by certain foods and medications. You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while on this medication. Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking to be sure they will not interact with this medication.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Paclitaxel. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Allergic reactions are very common with paclitaxel, which is often related to the preservative it is mixed in. You will receive medications [diphenhydramine (Benadryl), corticosteroids and tagamet] prior to the infusion to decrease the risk of a reaction. Signs of a reaction can include: shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chest pain, rash, flushing or itching or a decrease in blood pressure. If you notice any changes in how you feel during the infusion, let your nurse know immediately. The infusion will be stopped if this occurs. Depending on the severity of your reaction, you may still be able to receive paclitaxel with additional pre-medication or at a slower rate.
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
While on cancer treatment you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team and see OncoLink's section on fatigue for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods that absorbs fluid and can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, oranges, boiled potatoes, white rice and products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration. Read Low Fiber Diet for Diarrhea for more tips.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness. The desire for sex may decrease during treatment. Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking or egg harvesting if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
Read the mouth ulcer tip sheet for more information.
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun. Read more on alopecia.
Peripheral neuropathy is a toxicity that affects the nerves. It causes a numbness or tingling feeling in the hands and feet, often in the pattern of a stocking or glove. This can get progressively worse with additional doses of the drug. In some people, the symptoms slowly resolve after the drug is stopped, but for some it never goes away completely. You should let your healthcare provider know if you experience numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, as they may need to change the doses of your medication. See OncoLink's section on peripheral neuropathy for tips on dealing with this side effect.
Some less common side effects that have been reported include: muscle and/or joint aches and brittle nails.

Pain Relievers - Meet the Buzzy
As we noted last week, one particularly fun thing about about attending the AADE's Annual Meeting is the plethora of consumer and patient-facing products on display. This year, we saw three interesting things aimed at alleviating the pain of shots and finger pricks — a very minor concern for doctors, probably, but potentially HUGE for those of us who hate needles (which I'm assuming includes all of us!)

The Future of History
Can Liberal Democracy Survive the Decline of the Middle Class?
FRANCIS FUKUYAMA is a Senior Fellow at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law at Stanford University and the author, most recently, of The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution.
See more by this authorSomething strange is going on in the world today. The global financial crisis that began in 2008 and the ongoing crisis of the euro are both products of the model of lightly regulated financial capitalism that emerged over the past three decades. Yet despite widespread anger at Wall Street bailouts, there has been no great upsurge of left-wing American populism in response. It is conceivable that the Occupy Wall Street movement will gain traction, but the most dynamic recent populist movement to date has been the right-wing Tea Party, whose main target is the regulatory state that seeks to protect ordinary people from financial speculators. Something similar is true in Europe as well, where the left is anemic and right-wing populist parties are on the move.
There are several reasons for this lack of left-wing mobilization, but chief among them is a failure in the realm of ideas. For the past generation, the ideological high ground on economic issues has been held by a libertarian right. The left has not been able to make a plausible case for an agenda other than a return to an unaffordable form of old-fashioned social democracy. This absence of a plausible progressive counternarrative is unhealthy, because competition is good for intellectual debate just as it is for economic activity. And serious intellectual debate is urgently needed, since the current form of globalized capitalism is eroding the middle-class social base on which liberal democracy rests.
Social forces and conditions do not simply "determine" ideologies, as Karl Marx once maintained, but ideas do not become powerful unless they speak to the concerns of large numbers of ordinary people. Liberal democracy is the default ideology around much of the world today in part because it responds to and is facilitated by certain socioeconomic structures. Changes in those structures may have ideological consequences, just as ideological changes may have socioeconomic consequences.

Roger Mason Slips Up on Twitter
After todays meeting between the NBA and NBA Players Association, the Knicks Roger Mason Jr, VP of the NBAPA, released an interesting tweet…
I think he clearly was trying to send a direct message to somebody and accidentally just tweeted it. I think this is a great sign though. After they met for 5 1/2 hours today, the two sides agreed to meet on Thursday as well. I think the fact that they are meeting at all is a great sign. Whether any progress has been made yet is unknown but it is great to see the two sides meeting. The season is approaching and the two sides need to get a deal done. I am actually surprised they are meeting as much as they are at this point. I thought they would wait till the 11th hour but they are getting some 10th hour negotiating done. In just a few days, I have gone from feeling very pessimistic about this lockout to being very optimistic.

Is there a reason L4D isn't tested?
Phoronix: AMD's New Catalyst Linux Driver Isn't Too Good
Last week marked the release of a new AMD Catalyst Linux driver beta that was intended to improve the AMD Radeon OpenGL performance. AMD said this updated closed-source Linux graphics driver would bring "significant performance improvements" for Valve's recently ported Left 4 Dead 2 Linux game. Curious about AMD Linux OpenGL performance improvements elsewhere, I ran some benchmarks of this new driver on several different graphics cards. Unfortunately, the performance improvements aren't too widespread and there's other problems making this beta driver not appealing.
Is there a reason L4D isn't tested?
An upcoming update for Ubuntu 12.10 (Compiz 0.9.7.10) will enable unredirect fullscreen windows by default, improving performance and responsiveness for fullscreen OpenGL games, so more goodness is coming.
There is no Linux version of L4D that's publicly available.
Selecting that option does seem to help, but IME something is still off big-time. It might be dual-monitor related, but traditionally (pre-Unity / GNOME3) I've never had any problems, and have never had to select that option. It'll get sorted out soon enough no doubt.
"While I can't share Source Engine Linux benchmarks at the moment,"
"I've been part of the Linux beta since the beginning, however, until a later date when the beta is more open and any initial issues are worked out, benchmarks and other information can't be shared. But when the time comes, of course, there will be plenty of Phoronix benchmarks from the Source Engine games on Linux with different drivers and hardware."
Michael Larabel
...also, Steam seems to segfault with this driver.
AMD: Never again. *g*
I am still unable to use those new fglrx driver since they dropped hd4000 series support. I have a hybrid HD4200/HD5650 and I can't use the supported hd5650 and I guess is because the hybrid graphics with an unsupported product.
Can someone from AMD OpenSource team pass along few words of notice to Catalyst team? (With link to this phoronix article)
PS I was wandering if AMD teams share tests for conformance with all those technology out there? (OpenGL but also multimedia apis, etc.) That should be easy, should not revile any state secrets, and made both drivers better.
Well, AMD only said they improved L4D2, they didn't say everything else was still working as before.
I don't know if anyone still remembers, but this is why AMD turned to the open source community in the first place: their in-house solution just couldn't keep up. Rather sad...
