Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Well I decided to put Wow down for a while and try the new adventure packs in EQ 2. The WoW end game just isnt exciting me at all. Be nice to see more of what EQ 2 has to offer for now. I have 100% vitaility on my 32 defiler so I should get a nice little boost from that.
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Atleast you have a rig that can run the damn game now (I would hope anyway :) ). That game is coded horribly for how it looks (SOE at work as usual) My rig runs the game like total ass and I don't consider it to be a crap rig. Not top of the line but not crap. But I admit I have not played it since Nov so maybe they made MAJOR performance improvements to it. I have stopped WOW for now because of the same reasons. I have gone back to EQ 1 though :)
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Let us know how EQ2 fares these days. I admit that raiding MC/Onyxia has lost its charm. I've almost been tempted to re-install EQ2 as well.
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Well. EQ 2 still runs like a dog lognoronon. I never had the stutter problem but it never ran great to begin with. My average framerates are up and I can now play the game @ 1600x1200 with 4xAA/16xAF. My minimum framerates are still just as bad as my 6800GT SLI setup. ANd Cities still chug for me. I'm gonna have to upgrade my memory to see a sizable improvement to texture thrashing.
Other than that I am fairly impressed. Game has been improving by leaps and bounds really. From a PVE perspective. Splitpaw Saga is a lot of fun and makes me glad I do station access.
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Maybe I'll just get the all access thing and reinstall EQ 2 just to mess with it a little bit and I can still have EQ 1 going as my main game. Is it still a meager 4 character limit? (that pissed me off royaly).
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
With station access its a 10 charactor limit. Without station access its a 6 charactor limit.
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Grrr, i want eq2 now :d
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
wait for the WoW xp before you come back i guess.
have you raided MC and Onxyia? You are going to miss blackwing lair coming in a few weeks as well.
Oh well one less alliance.
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Yeah Splitpaw pak was done really well...though with my zerker I cannot beat that Pit Champion..tried like 8 times even with full potions and superb gear
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
Wow lost it's luster really fast after lvl 60, even with battlefield. You can only play the few high end instances so many times(me being twice and bored silly after that). And again, my biggest complaint about wow is the community.
I'm also back to eq2. Really a better game imo. I just like the atmosphere, music and art better I guess. Draws me in to my charater more. Also, I think they really have polished up the game a lot since the last time i played a few months ago. Seems to run a bit better and it just seems more user friendly overall for some odd reason. I'll play month to month for now.
BTW, i seem to be running decent with 6xaa/16xaf, 1280x1064, textures at max and the rests at high. Sliders very from option to option though and are really still just set to that old guide that was going around at the beginnig of launch.
Re: Well back to EQ 2 for now.
I only tried WOW druing beta. EQ2 has had me since I got into that beta. If you guys are ever on Kithicore server, I have a 49 zerker and 24 pally if ya ever need help.
Splitpaw is a blast I must say. I didnt care as much for the vampire one that came before. I got to mess around with the expansion a bit at E3 and that looks great as well. They keep adding high end content like crazy. I have wanted to try wow for a bit, but then SOE turns around and adds more high end stuff...lol...

For many people the epitome of the British soldier of the late Victorian period is the Redcoat who fought in southern Africa in the 1870s. This title covers the key period of the wars against the Zulu and Boers; the dramatic battles of Rorke's Drift, Isandlwana, Ulundi, Laing's Nek and Majuba are some of the most famous engagements in the history of the British Army. The journey of the British soldier from the back streets of Britain's inner cities, to the isolated rock outcrop of Isandlwana and the mountain top of Majuba is one of discipline, devotion, loyalty, bravery, determination and sheer hard-work. It is a journey from which many men never returned.

32 year old man | Laveen, AZ, USA | Seeking women 21-29 within 50 miles
I'm awesome, and looking for someone else who will be awesome with me.
I am an outdoors type of person. I need a lot of sunshine and exposure away from the city. When it comes to work I am focused, undestracted and I set my goals high and achievable. I am still able to laugh and enjoy work, enjoy the company of others at work but work and success is very important. My work attire is grades above my peers, I feel dressing nice and professional above what is required helps with motivation and success. At home I am relaxed, I love adventures and need to get away from school and work as often as possible. Because I know I enjoy the outdoors I maintain my home, and priorities so any chance to escape the home and work life I am always ready and available. I own my home where I live with my dog and my daughter who is here most of the time, she is 3 1/2 years old. I have two cars one is for off road adventures and the other is roomy, spacious and good on gas for the long road trips. I enjoy cooking and being conservative with my finances except when it comes to adventures and road trips. If you like to trave,l experience new sights, and are goal driven then send me an email and introduce yourself. There are many things I enjoy the most. Awesome home cooked meals or great restaurants with friends, family and a great atmosphere. I love the sound of rain on a tin roof and cold nights around a fireplace or campfire. For the last few years I started listening to pop-country music because they sing about all the things I like: campfires, guitars, fishing, beer, whisky, pretty girls, and most importantly being an American. I am a veteran of the US Army and served in Iraq for two tours totaling 2 1/2 years deployed. I had the opportunity to travel the world. I have been all over Europe, a few places in the Middle East, New Zealand, and I still go to Mexico whenever I get the chance. I am very much aware of my emotions and am completly in control of my life, feelings, and goals. I am aware of what I want and what I like.

Advice & Support
The goal of treatment for
temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is to relieve pain in
the jaw and restore normal jaw movement and function. Several treatment
approaches are effective. The first treatments that are tried for TMDs are called conservative, because they are simple and temporary. They are not invasive or permanent. They can be stopped or reversed. They include over-the-counter pain medicine and self-care that you can do at home.
Often, simple home treatment measures can
successfully relieve jaw pain. Less than
1 out of 10 adults have jaw problems or pain that is so severe that they need medical or dental treatment.1
For chronic,
muscle-related TMDs, standard medical care can include muscle
relaxation measures,
biofeedback, stress management, or
cognitive-behavioral therapy.
For chronic pain caused by a TMD, it is important to seek treatment for pain and
for related depression and anxiety.
Dental splints are the most common dental
treatment for TMDs. These splints or bite plates are typically used for a short period of
time. They can help relieve muscle tension and pain.
Most people do not need permanent dental work or surgery. Permanent dental work might include orthodontic treatments involving permanent changes to
the jaw. At best, permanent treatments or surgery may not work any better than physical therapy and temporary treatments. At worst, they can cause irreversible damage. If your doctor recommends surgery or other treatment that involves permanent
changes, be sure to get a second opinion before you start treatment.
Often, structural problems in
the jaw, such as
disc displacement, can be improved with conservative (nonsurgical) treatment,
especially when they are treated early.
Health and dental
insurance plans might not cover diagnosis and treatment. Because some
tests and treatments are quite expensive, you may want to
check your coverage before incurring expenses.

Whining and Dining: Mother of bride girds for storm to come
Here are words of advice for the mothers of the bride who have been e-mailing me: Don't be fooled by that lull you feel about a month before the wedding.
I have it on good authority that the relative calm I'm experiencing right now, and what is still ahead for those of you with summer weddings, is the calm before the storm.
As if we haven't weathered enough of a storm already, right?
But they -- and I mean the mothers of the brides who have gone before us -- tell me that a week or 10 days before the wedding, all tulle breaks loose.
In preparation, I'm taking some time off work -- my column will return April 25 -- and am arming myself with an arsenal of responses to get me through what may come:
To avoid chaos and help calm those around me, I have this: "Just relax."
To quickly fix any last-minute problems: "Just tell me how much."
And to make it all easier on me: "Just one more glass."
Cochon calls for art
The organizers of Cochon Heritage BBQ, the big event that debuts in Memphis over Labor Day weekend, are looking for artwork for the event.
First -- in case you haven't heard: This is a big deal. Memphis landed the event, which is all about heritage pork, fine dining, bourbon and barbecue, and the plan is for it to become a Labor Day destination for food lovers for years to come.
There are a lot of fun elements to the weekend, and you'll be reading plenty about it. But or now, it's about the art. If you're interested in competing, it's a two-step process. First, submit a proposal to Taste Network, 57 Forsyth St. N.W., 14D, Atlanta, Ga. 30303, or e-mail carol@cochon555. Be specific about what you'd like to do (you're not limited to any medium), and include photos of other things you've done.
Cochon founder Brady Lowe and others will select up to 15 artists (teams are also allowed, up to five artists per team) to advance to the next round. Those artists will then create their artwork live on either May 25, June 29 or July 27 at the South Main Art Trolley Tour.
Besides having their work displayed at the Labor Day event, the winner or winning team will also receive $750 cash, $500 in products, and tickets to the event (including Sunday's VIP portion).
Get more information at the Cochon 555 page on Facebook.
Historic meals at The Peabody
This is going to be great fun. The Peabody launches its new historic dinner series with two meals honoring the 100th anniversary of the Titanic on Sunday and Monday.
There are three other events planned for the 2012 series: the 85th anniversary of the world's first solo trans-Atlantic flight by Charles Lindbergh on May 21, Bastille Day on July 14, and the 130th anniversary of the Orient Express on Oct. 10.
The Titanic dinners will be a re-creation of the nine-course meal served in the first-class dining saloon on the final night aboard the luxury liner. It's at 7 p.m. in Chez Philippe and costs $150, which includes wine pairing and valet parking but not tax and gratuity. Call (901) 529-4188 for reservations.
Wings on the river
The 10th annual Southern Hotwing Festival is April 21, and it's the first year the festival will be at Jefferson Davis Park, facing Riverside between Jefferson and Monroe.
There's room for more teams at the new location (as many as 60), and three stages for music. There's also a silent auction and a hot wing-eating contest. All proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House; last year, more than $20,000 went to the home to help fund a welcoming place for the families of children undergoing treatment at St. Jude. It's from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Wednesday wine
Join us tonight for an online wine tasting with Mike Whitfield of United Liquors. He's picked Simi Chardonnay 2010, which has recently taken a $5 price drop to about $15. Sign on to whiningdining.com at 7 p.m. every other Wednesday.
Recipe of the week
Side dishes can make all the difference at dinner time, and we all tend to get into a rut. This recipe sounds delicious, I bet it's beautiful, and it gives me a chance to brag on my dog Baxter.
Although my husband seems to need a reminder every time we eat edamame, my dog never forgets to shell his. He eats the beans and leaves a neat pile of discarded shells between his big paws.
Snap Pea and Edamame Sauté
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large or 2 small shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz. shelled edamame
8 oz. sugar snap peas, halved
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame, snap peas, salt and pepper and cook 3 minutes, until warmed through. Serves 4.

The difference between Durst and Kodak units is, I think not a greater range, but a much steeper curve. the settings at zero on both types are where there is no filtration at all.. The LPL goes up to 200 units where yours 'only' goes to 130. However when the Magenta filter is set on 200 when I use Ilford or Kentmere papers, the contrast is supposedly equal to Grade 4.5; whereas at 130 magenta units on the Durst enlarger, will, so I am lead to believe, give a true Grade 5.
The filtration needed to get the B&W prints was 10m/10y, but this seems to be dependent on the age of the chemicals and the replenishment I use. (80sq ins = 10cc of replenisher developer). I bet when I next try to get B&W with Kodak CN400, the filtration will be different. At least it stops me getting bored!
I have also tried to get the equal tone using Ilford XP2 and failed miserably. Incidentally, no way, whatever I do, can I get a proper black, it is always dark brown. Quite pleasing but a totally different filtration setting with loads more magenta.

Fanfarlo Opens Door on ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT 2/28/2012
Having earned international acclaim for their 2009 debut, "RESERVOIR," Canvasback Music/Atlantic recording group Fanfarlo has announced the upcoming release of their eagerly awaited new album. "ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT" arrives in stores and at all DSPs on February 28th, 2012.
The album is heralded by the new track, "Deconstruction," which will be available at all leading digital retailers on Tuesday, October 18th. The track is accompanied by the London-based band's own 15-minute "meditation" on the song's musical components and what happens if the song just continues, entitled "Reconstruction." NPR just debuted "Deconstruction" as its influential "Song of the Day," hailing the uplifting track for "pack(ing) an awful lot of winning ingredients into a little less than five minutes... Next year is only minus-three months old, and this is already one of 2012's best songs."
What's more, Stereogum recently premiered the "Deconstruction" companion video, directed by filmmaker Alex Southam. The inventive black-and-white clip is streaming now at Fanfarlo's own newly relaunched www.fanfarlo.com.
Fanfarlo is set to introduce fans to the songs of "ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT" via a brief series of upcoming U.S. tour dates (see itinerary below). A full-scale North American live schedule will coincide with the album's release -- details will be announced shortly.
"ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT" marks a major step forward for Fanfarlo, incorporating new textures into their already eclectic sonic palette. Songs such as "Replicate" -- available now for free download at www.fanfarlo.com -- feature more experimental instrumentation than those found on the band's debut. The guitars are now electric instead of acoustic, while synths and samplers have emerged in place of mandolins and glockenspiels. At the same time, "ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT" takes all the themes, musical and lyrical, of its predecessor and vastly expands them with all the confidence of a band gaining control of their aims and abilities.
"To me the record is really about what a weird and intense experience it is to just be alive and to try to make sense of the modern world with all its bewildering pressures and possibilities," says singer/main songwriter Simon Balthazar.
"We wanted to figure out what new things were possible with the tools we were using," adds violinist/keyboardist Cathy Lucas. "This time there is more of an emphasis on patterns, repetition and hypnotic atmospheres. We were trying to achieve more light and dark, while maintaining the subtlety and elegance."
"ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT" was produced by Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Gnarls Barkley) and engineered by award-winning producer/engineer David Wrench (Bat For Lashes, Everything Everything, Beth Orton) at North Wales' Bryn Derwen Recording Studio.
Fanfarlo is: Simon Balthazar: lead vocals, guitar, clarinet * Cathy Lucas: violin, mandolin, keyboard, vocals * Justin Finch: bass * Amos Memon: drums * Leon Beckenham: trumpet, keyboard.

DLF said Rs. 65 crore was given as business advance for the purchase of land, "as per standard industry practice", comprising two transactions. It said Skylight Hospitality (reportedly owned by Vadra) approached DLF in 2008-09 to sell a 3.5 acre plot off NH8 in Gurgaon. "DLF agreed to buy the said plot, given its licensing status and attractiveness as a business proposition, for Rs. 58 crore," it said.
Likewise, the Skylight Group also offered DLF an opportunity to purchase a large land parcel in Faridabad. "(But) After concluding that the land had certain legal infirmities, we decided against its purchase…" it said. "At no stage was an interest-free loan ever given to the Skylight Group," DLF added.
Kejriwal alleged that DLF sold its properties to Vadra at throwaway prices, on the basis of funds that Vadra obtained from DLF itself. The realty major, however, said, "It is not unusual for land sellers to reinvest in projects being developed by DLF." It said Vadra purchased an apartment for Rs. 11.90 crore in DLF's Aralias project in September 2008 at the market price of Rs. 12,000 per sq ft. "The alleged figure of Rs. 89 lakh as total purchase consideration is incorrect," it said.
"Allegation that seven apartments in Magnolias were sold for Rs. 5.2 crore only is also completely baseless," DLF added.

Check out this angry-faced selfie with Geoff Cameron, a true World Cup gem.
Despite that gem, his blow to Ross was the big hit: "During your performance, I wish I bit my own ears off."
Baby cigarette "No worry of cancer with this cigarette costume," the description for this gem reads.
Old English gimm "precious stone, gem, jewel," also "eye," from Latin gemma "precious stone, jewel," originally "bud," perhaps from the root *gen- "to produce," or from PIE *gembh- "tooth, nail." Of persons, from late 13c. Forms in -i-, -y- were lost early 14c., and the modern form of the word probably representing a Middle English borrowing from Old French gemme (12c.). As a verb, from c.1600, "to adorn with gems;" mid-12c. as "to bud."

Let's light up the world together.
The best things about you: * You're as spontaneous as I am, and maybe even mischievous. * You're serious when it counts but silly and maybe even a little bit corny because you like to see me laugh. * You're intuitive, and emotionally expressive, yet not in competition with others, especially me. * You feel equally at ease being active and going out on weekend getaways, hiking, concerts, movies or museums, as you are staying in and cooking dinner together or watching that awesome movie/show you've been wanting to see. * You let me be the lady because I love you being the man. * You have no problem saying what you mean and doing what you say because it's who you are, and you can call me out on something that deserves it. * You're passionate about life and your interests but you're also very open-minded to sharing new potential interests, ideas, and passions. * You travel, because it excites and inspires you and because you know there is a world out there that needs to be discovered. * You're affectionate and you show it. The best things about me: * I'm silly and at times corny, a total goofball and a bit of a wise ass, but am absolutely serious when it truly counts. * I'm a native NYer and get pretty excited that there are still things I have yet to discover here. * I love making you laugh because I can't get enough of your smile. * I thrive on spontaneity and abhore middle of the road mentalities. * I have a real soft spot for pets and can't imagine life without them. * The ocean makes me feel alive, and when we're together near the water, it's electric. * I'm a sucker for desserts. I can be full, but there's always that one little spot for something decadent. * I can be intense; I know and speak my mind, but you hold your own because you find this challenging and exciting. * Travel excites me, and inspires me, and fills me with wonder and a deep longing to learn and see and explore even more. The best thing about us: That we met and found an amazing chemistry together. We have our silly inside jokes, and the fact only we get them, makes them even funnier. We make each other laugh so hard other people think we're weird, but so what? We're having an amazing time with each other, right? Hey, we even have fun when we're doing absolutely nothing. And now that we're together, we're excited to see where this thing goes.

Lukas' summary from day one...
Tuareg Rally Day 1 (Saturday March 9th 2013) summary - #116 Lukas Matzinger
I had a fantastic morning, a very good midday... and a horrible afternoon! Lukas begins as he walks wearily across the bivouac towards me. In fact I only just made it in to the final checkpoint before the cut-off time he continues.
Not only is this Lukas first off-road race, but he spent nearly twenty hours yesterday undertaking final preparations to his rally bike, pausing only briefly to eat dinner before continuing on into the early hours.
The sand just got softer and softer as the day went on, and the [high] sun made it very difficult to see the contours he continues - The front wheel would just dig in - I must have gone over the bars about twenty times... and then you just have to dig it out, its exhausting. To compound things I had less than three hours sleep last night he admits.
Fortunately, Lukas is very pleased with his choice of the Husaburg FE570 as a rally bike Its almost like cheating he grins It is very light and narrow, and has a lot of power - it is probably the best bike here for this sort of terrain - as it doesnt tire you out.
Im a mediocre [rally] rider at best, and this bike has saved me loads of times - this is my first time riding in sand, and soft dunes, and the bike was absolutely fantastic... the only issue was later in the afternoon the bike started to stutter and lose power making longer climbs difficult - so Ill have to look into that tonight.
Despite experiencing a steep learning curve today, Lukas is confident he reached every checkpoint [just] in time, and hopes he has avoided any time penalties during his first day in desert rally raid.

Jean-Luc's summary from day one...
Tuareg Rally Day 1 (Saturday March 9th 2013) summary - #317 Jean-Luc Solans - Team RMS/IYSK Wines
Jean-Luc smiles as he recounts how his fellow IYSK team-mate Ned Suesse Must have had twice the day I had - since he passed me on his second lap before I even managed to finish my single round!
This is Jean-Lucs first desert rally, and he admits he did struggle with the conditions onboard the big KTM 690, particularly in the soft sand. The rear end of the bike would dig all too often he explains [/i]Followed by having to lay the bike down to extract it, again, all too often![/i]
Despite the struggle in the heat and sand, clearly Jean-Luc was enjoying himself There is an advantage to being slower - because there is a lot to learn - to follow the GPS, read the roadbook, and to look for the easiest way through the dunes - so there was plenty to ponder at every turn he grins.
The start was incredible! - and so very exhilarating to be in the middle of that [mass start], - although I resisted the pressure to try and get ahead of anyone, and fortunately the group spread out quickly.
Having also elected to take a time penalty today and conserve his energy for the rest of the race, Jean-Luc is certainly looking forward to the following days, that will leave the dunes behind after another potentially difficult section on day two: The roadbook says there will be 25kms of fesh-fesh tomorrow he reveals I just hope I am able to get [up] some speed and keep moving, otherwise I may be in trouble! Ultimately though, I am just here to learn, to see if I am physically capable of riding in rally raid - after today, I feel maybe Im 80% there... I hope that will improve during the week!
Jean-Luc Solans is part of the US rally team supported by Rally Management Services and If You See Kay Wines during the Tuareg Rally. He is also personally supported by Talend.

Ollie's summary from day one...
Tuareg Rally Day 1 (Saturday March 9th 2013) summary - #332 Ollie Lloyd - OWL Racing
The Rally organisation had warned the competitors to expect very soft sand dunes on this first day, and Ollie certainly found himself in at the deep end - after getting trapped in a 6-foot deep sand bowl for an hour and a half!
I started well, although there wasnt really a lot of space with all the competitors starting at the same time. The first 7km [dune field] was fine, and I loved the open ground afterwards where I could make up some time. "But the second set of dunes were very soft - and they really caught me out... I ended up in a sand bowl about six feet deep, and the bottom was the same width as the bike - there was no way out! "I dug for over an hour with my hands, and eventually used my rally jacket as a sand-ladder under the wheels... it is still out there somewhere, buried under about four feet of sand!
Fortunately Ollie had the forethought to check the pockets before sacrificing his jacket and removed his [essential] time-card prior to disrobing. Once free of the sand trap, he was then able to navigate as far as check point 3 (of 5) on the stage.
To be honest it had taken me so long and I was now exhausted. I considered that at least I had made it that far and not damaged myself or the bike, so I elected to take the assistance route back to the finish and accept a time penalty - particularly as Id been advised that the softest dunes were still to come.
This is my first desert bike race and Im here to gain experience and learn how a rally works. Id got stuck a few more times after that sand bowl, and I learnt a lot about how to get the bike out of the sand more quickly, but all my energy had been used up by then.
Ollie was certainly not the only rider to get bitten pretty hard by the soft Tunisian dunes - with many other riders suffering similar mishaps and exhaustion throughout the day. His forethought and focus on the whole event and not just a single stage result means he is able to recover and start the second day with renewed enthusiasm.

Overall position: not available at this time

A few more random photos and words...
Day 1 (yesterday) was tough, even for the more seasoned competitors and Tuareg Rally regulars like Wesley Beane (Beaney) #25:
Beaney was going really well on his big KTM 690 (with a 690RR fairing mated to Rally Raid Evo2 tanks) - finishing the first Profi lap in the top ten, and was running as high as third overall before the last checkpoint, when an over-the-bars error cost him more than an hour trying to repair broken cables and wiring... He still finished in plenty of time, but with hopes of an early lead dashed.
Similarly Torque Racing team-mate George Dennison #107 has raced the Tureag Rally in Morocco on a number of occasions... and even he found the first day in the soft Tunisian dunes hard work. If you skip back a few pages, you'll see he is sporting a rather elaborate beard (a hangover from the Movember fundraising he participates in each year) - However this morning (Day 2) it was gone... it is hot and hard work in Tunisian sand!
#87 Tony Schattat's team-mates who are all racing under the Macad banner and competing Malle Moto, were in a confident if slightly apprehensive mood before the start yesterday:
L-R: #24 Polytimi Kyriakopoulou, #22 Guillaume Martens and #86 Edward Taylor:
All of them suffered in some way during the first stage - see Brodovich's post #202 above for specific news about Timi and Guillaume's day - while Ed found for some reason he was struggling with a severe lack of power from his 300 EXC - not something you would usually attribute to that machine!
Fortunately on the way back from refueling in the evening, Tony spotted that the tail pipe was glowing red hot with the heat, and after some investigation, it turns out Ed had bought a replacement front pipe that had an emissions restrictor welded inside - severely limiting the exhaust gas exit, and no doubt the cause of his constant over-heating problems... With a quick beg and a borrow around the bivouac, Ed found a German car team who were able to slice open the pipe, removed the offending gauze, and re-weld it together again overnight - result!
And finally, as the competitors leave the soft sand behind for a few days and head north towards Gafsa, I think it was probably these guys who had the best vehicle for crossing Tunisian dunes yesterday:
As for myself, I travelled the assistance route today with Patsy in the huge Desert Rose Racing support truck, and we arrived at the second bivouac hotel in plenty of time. Fortunately I have been able to secure my own room (with like a proper bed and everything!) for tonight, and it would seem the hotel has a pretty decent wifi connection too... Although I am somewhat concerned by the 2-inch thick metal box-section bars that surround the hotel lobby front door like it's some sort of bullion vault; and similarly the huge steel shutter doors that enclose the car park like we're some kind of fortress - I hope they're not expecting trouble in Gafsa tonight!

In the past there has always been a printed list of daily results on a board in the hotel lobby each evening - particularly as this also relates to the individual start times/order for the following day - but this morning the printed list was only available once the riders reached the DSS!
I'm sure someone will raise this issue at the briefing this evening, and hopefully the Orga will resort to paper while they try and fix their server... at the moment there are no results info on the Tuareg-Rallye.com website either.

Adam Wainwright will not pitch in the All-Star Game
Jul 6, 2013, 1:45 PM EDT
Mets right-hander Matt Harvey was already the logical favorite to start for the National League since the All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field in New York this year, but this news pretty much seals it.
According to Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com, the Cardinals have rearranged their rotation so that ace right-hander Adam Wainwright will start two times before the All-Star break. Because he's now lined up to pitch next Sunday, he will not pitch in the All-Star Game two days later. The American League squad will be happy to hear that.
Wainwright was arguably Harvey's biggest competition for the starting assignment, as he's 11-5 with a 2.36 ERA and 117/13 K/BB ratio over 133 2/3 innings this season. Clayton Kershaw, Cliff Lee, Jordan Zimmermann, and Patrick Corbin are also having excellent seasons, but it's hard to see Giants manager Bruce Bochy going with anyone other than Harvey at this point.
- flamethrower101 - Jul 6, 2013 at 1:56 PM
Am I missing something? I thought the rules were changed last year so any pitcher that starts the Sunday before the ASB is eligible to pitch in the ASG provided the team and the All-Star team manager agree on a pitch limit.
- natslady - Jul 6, 2013 at 1:56 PM
How mean of the Cards to put their pennant race ahead of an exhibition game.
- wonkypenguin - Jul 6, 2013 at 2:18 PM
I agree! Why aren't they helping their friends in Pittsburgh secure home field advantage?
- missingdiz - Jul 6, 2013 at 3:17 PM
I'm not sure I know what the All-Star game is for anymore. Back in the day, the leagues were almost two different planets (of course, black guys, Latinos, and everybody else were even more remotely located in the baseball universe). It was interesting. But now, with inter-league play, with guys getting traded back and forth from one league to the other, what's the point? Except somebody will make some money, of course. I'm a traditionalist, and it's always been there, but WTF?
- okwhitefalcon - Jul 6, 2013 at 3:20 PM
Good to hear, zero interest in the ASG here beyond the "This one counts" (barf) train wreck aspect.
Cards need every start Waino can give them at this point, the past month or so hasn't been pretty for the rest of the starting staff.
- beerjunkie - Jul 7, 2013 at 11:59 AM
Great move by the Cards. ASG is a joke anyway.
- stlouis1baseball - Jul 9, 2013 at 11:17 AM
Welcome news! I wasn't thrilled about him pitching anyway. The Pitching staff needs all there rest it can get.

So now that you've bought the AE D1, how would you compare the sound to the Fiio E10, in terms of how neutral it is, as well as the soundstage? Is it worth the upgrade? I'm looking at getting either this or the ibasso D7.

Colorado Finds a Radical Way to Prevent Teen Pregnancies and Abortions

Despite the rainbow nature of their users, recent statistics reveal a staggering lack of workforce diversity.
A California labor agency has determined that, at least in one instance, an Uber driver is actually an employee of the company, not an independent contractor who happens to rely on Uber-provided information to drive her business. But what does this mean for the ride-sharing behemoth?
Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and The Real News Network's Senior Editor Paul Jay discuss the inherent contradictions in Silicon Valley's ideology and practices in the second installment of TRNN's show "Reality Asserts Itself."
Just how and when did the military-industrial complex become the military-intelligence complex? And what's the link between Amazon and the Pentagon?
Since Colorado voters legalized marijuana in 2012, more states and cities have been considering a similar path. At the same time, the cannabis market is looking less like a music festival and more like a Silicon Valley confab—upscale, data-driven and focused on investors.
The European Union's top antitrust watchdog is setting her sights on Google, taking the tech giant to task for allegedly elbowing out competitors' listings in online shopping searches.
A new book examines Bitcoin, a "highly disruptive technology" that has the modest goal of "freeing people from the tyranny of centralized trust."
This week on Truthdig Radio in association with KPFK: The "What's the Matter With Kansas?" author says Democrats blow off right-wing populism and "walk right into the buzz saw every time." Also: what to expect when you're expecting a Republican Senate, and Silicon Valley's take on indentured servitude.
Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and the other "Left, Right & Center" panelists discuss President Obama's appointment of an Ebola czar, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's concern over economic inequality in the U.S., Silicon Valley's egg-freezing employee benefits and the outlook for both parties in the upcoming election.
A long article at The Observer examines the regulatory possibilities of "smart" phones, cars and even carpet, and asks what's to become of governance if data and algorithms are setting the limits of human life.
Tech companies are in a new race to make it harder for spy agencies around the world, such as the NSA in the U.S., to access their customers' data.
Jim Fischer (CC BY 2.0)
There are some truly insensitive morons in the United States and the government is pandering to them, as usual.
Democracy requires a great deal more than "leveling." It requires political institutions that enable the economically weak to have a decisive say on policy against the interests of the rich and powerful.
"If the national Republican Party stops being a home for theocrats, war-mongerers, and xenophobic white men and drifts closer to a small-government, libertarian worldview that eventually makes peace with immigration, LGBT rights and abortion, it might gain traction in affluent, secular, and largely non-white San Francisco," a contributor at The Bold Italic writes.
Conservatives believe the recent ruling on Utah's anti-polygamy statute is the inevitable consequence of the marriage equality movement; Coca Cola is trying to stop people from drinking tap water; meanwhile, Silicon Valley techies are arrogantly promoting class war in San Francisco. These discoveries and more after the jump.
János Balázs (CC BY-SA 2.0)
Inside your mobile phone and hidden behind your web browser are little known software products marketed by contractors to the government that can follow you around anywhere. No longer the wide-eyed fantasies of conspiracy theorists, these technologies are routinely installed in all of our data devices by companies that sell them to Washington for a profit.
frau-Vogel (CC BY-ND 2.0)
High rents, human displacement and the disappearance of do-it-yourself culture—author and activist Rebecca Solnit artfully describes the social costs of the last decade of San Francisco's tech boom.
brionv (CC BY-SA 2.0)
What do the U.S. government and Silicon Valley already have in common? Above all, they want to remain opaque while making the rest of us entirely transparent through the capture of our data. What is arising is simply a new form of government, involving vast entities with the reach and power of government and little accountability to anyone.
Gage Skidmore (CC-BY-SA)
The Texas governor who made a fool of himself in the 2012 presidential race has come to the Golden State trying to steal businesses and jobs.
American news media outlets such as Time and Newsweek are keeping the U.S. in the dark about world issues; a Silicon Valley startup has dreamed up a ship for international techies to avoid immigration problems; and Wi-Fi and cellphones are making us sick—or are they? These discoveries and more after the jump.
Remember the heady days before the Internet bubble went and burst, as bubbles tend to do? California's Silicon Valley was one of the epicenters of that economic boom, but as this clip from Sunday's "60 Minutes" illustrates, things look a little different there these days.
The impresario behind this newfangled clean-energy box sees one of his mini power plants in every home, but it's not clear if the little miracles even work.
A California senator is working to push a bill through the state's legislative channels that would make global warming a required study topic in California public schools, but detractors maintain that the science behind Sen. Joe Simitian's proposed academic addition is unclear.

I have 10 rolls of Fuji Superia Xtra 400/800, 3 rolls of BW400CN, 5 rolls of XP2 Super, 5 rolls of Tri-X and a few rolls of Fuji N800Z in a zip-loc bag. I guess the reason why I stash some film away is because I'm afraid they'll go up in price due to the rising cost of buying film locally.
Since I have been busy chewing through some 1,600 rolls of Kodachrome, I have not been shooting much black and white so I am stocking up for now.
I have a boatload at this point:
50 rolls 35mm ADOX CMS 20
1200 feet 35mm TechPan
500 feet 35mm Efke 25
500 feet 35mm Ilford HP5
1,000 feet 35mm Ilford Delta 400
1,000 feet 35mm Ilford PanF
2,000 feet 35mm Agfa APX 100
75 rolls 120mm TechPan
500 rolls 120mm Ilford PanF
The bulk rolls pretty much stay in deep freeze for use 5-10 years from now. I also have about 100 rolls of the above for use much sooner.
...I plan on stocking up more, but I need to complete my Kodachrome project first.
I hoarded a bunch of Rodinal before Agfa went belly up. Not one of my better investment ideas, although I did sell one bottle for $40 before it came out again. Shoulda sold it all.
GAS could be hoarding if you're saving a narrow model range in various states of repair, just to make sure you always have spare parts. Surely there have to be some M42 or Leica hoarders lurking here in the background. (probably claiming that they're sensibly investing to make sure they have something to shoot all that Tri-X they've also hoarded with)
It's at least Packratting, and might be considered pre-emptive archeaology. (why waste time digging it up later if I don't let them bury it in the first place?)

In "The Lady and the Panda: The True Adventures of the First American Explorer to Bring Back China's Most Exotic Animal," Vicki Croke traces Ruth Harkness' capture of the first giant panda brought to America.
After her husband died trying to bring a giant panda back from China in 1936, Harkness took up the cause herself. In so doing, she found herself up against ruthless competitors, thieves, warfare and a male-dominated world. But she had the help of Quentin Young, her Chinese guide and eventual lover.
Croke, the "Animal Beat" columnist for The Boston Globe, re-creates Harkness' journey into China's rugged wilderness and triumphant return to America, where she assumes her position among the zoological explorers.
It was a bitter winter night, February 19, 1936, and on the outskirts of Shanghai, far from the neon and the wailing jazz, thirty-four-year-old William Harvest Harkness, Jr., lay in a private hospital, blood-stiffened silk sutures tracking across his pale abdomen. He was dying, and alone in his agony. His original expedition mates, four adventurous men with dreams of capturing the giant panda, had all deserted him long before. Though he knew people in the city from previous trips and more recent escapades in notorious nightclubs and bars, in the end he had stayed true to some deeper nature, pushing them all away and stealing off in secret. His family, including his young wife back in Manhattan, had no idea he was even sick. With what little strength he could summon, he had been writing sunny notes home that masked his horrible condition. Perhaps he really believed his own words, for just weeks earlier he had been pressuring the doctor to release him so he could get back to his campaign. But, finally, on this frigid night, scarred by other attempts to scalpel tumors from his neck and torso and wretched from his latest incision, he found himself unable to eat or drink, then even to breathe. The sportsman who lived to rough it in the wild died under starched white sheets, in a ward reeking of antiseptic. His young life had ended in the pursuit of the most mysterious animal of his time, yet he had never managed to set a laced boot in the great snow-covered mountains that separated China and Tibet.
A world away, back in the noise and lights and rush of Manhattan, it had been an even chillier winter, one of the snowiest and coldest anyone could remember. Late in the afternoon, on the very day her husband took his last breath, Ruth Harkness was making her way home from a salon where she had enjoyed a luxurious shampoo. Bundled up, she happily picked her way along icy sidewalks that were dusted with ash for traction and walled in by freshly shoveled snow. Friends were due for cocktails shortly, and in the larger scheme of things, she had even more to look forward to. Now that things were beginning to go well for Bill, she thought, he might just be home within months. Then the two of them could travel the world as they had always imagined.
But as she stepped inside her comfortable West Side apartment, before she had time to hang up her coat, her "pretty little mulatto maid" and her houseguest, Margaret Freeland, confronted her with the horrible news: Bill was dead. A cable message had been relayed by telephone.

Watch Avril Lavigne's New Video "Goodbye"
After thanking her fans for their support on her current tour, Avril Lavigne debuted a video for "Goodbye."
"Here it is my Little Black Stars! My special video to thank you for an amazing Goodbye Lullaby year! Love you guys! xo," she writes on her Website.
Filmed in Los Angeles at the Chateau Marmont by her friend Mark Liddell, the video begins with Lavigne entering an empty apartment.
Dressed in a chic leopard print coat, the video follows Lavigne going through her suitcases to pick out the perfect outfit for the evening for someone who never shows up. The mostly black and white video demonstrates Lavigne's more sensitive side as she is left alone on the floor crying at the end of the night.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Lavigne asserts that her latest release, Goodbye Lullaby was not a breakup album. The album was produced by her ex-husband, Deryck Whibley of Sum 41.
"Deryck is the most talented person I know. He produced, mixed, played guitar and bass," she said. "I wouldn't say it's a breakup record. It's about life. I went into it with a mind-set of not trying to write hits. People will make assumptions, but they'd be surprised what certain songs are about."
