Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
[Changelog for Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6]
- Added voltage control for one more MSI N240GT Low Profile graphics card version
- Added initial NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465 series graphics cards support
- Changed marketing name for MSI R5670-PD512 in hardware database
- Core clock is now used as primary overclocking domain instead of shader clock on GeForce GTX 400
- Unlocked memory downclocking ability on GeForce GTX 400 series
- Default core voltages for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series cards are no longer hardcoded into the database. Now MSI Afterburner uses new NVIDIA driver API to read variable default fused voltages on GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards. Please take a note that new API reqires updated release 256 drivers, which are not available to public yet. MSI Afterburner will not affect core voltage at all when restoring defaults under curretnly available drivers
- Upper limit for core voltage slider on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards has been upped to 1213mV. Please take a note that regular GTX 400 cards will not allow you to go beyond the reference voltage limits (1087mV for GTX 470 and 1138mV for GTX 480) until unlocked BIOS is flashed
- Fixed <Link> button state saving/restoring issue on old NVIDIA cards caused
by introducing Fermi family support
- MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 3.7.1. New server improves On-Screen Display 3D rendering mode compatibility with Source engine based games and Star Trek Online and contains updated profiles list
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Woot! Updates are always good :D
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Thanks muppet!
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Cool. This is a great program. :)
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
This version allows us to adjust the core clock, seperate from the shader clocks. The older 1.6.0 beta 5 you had to adjust the shader clocks to get the core clock to go up and they where tied together.
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Not really
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Run it again in OpenGL 3 pathing. I Avg. about 400 FPS in Kombustor with 280's SLI.
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
Has anyone tried pushing their GTX 480(s) above 1140 mV with this new beta? Are there any side effects? (ie. the card dying?) Or is the new limit of 1213 still "reasonably" safe as long as the card isn't getting too hot?
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
I had a question. Does afterburner allow you to set the fan speed for the gpu's? Because I am using evga's precision for that right now but I don't like how they to use UAC to prompt you on startup in windows to start the fans going. I would like to have something that lets you speed up the fans on startup without doing anything. It's not a biggie but more of a convenience factor.
Re: Afterburner 1.6.0 Beta 6
1.6.0 final is out
After two month of Beta development, MSI & Guru3D happily announce Afterburner 1.6.0 Final version. Thanks for all the feedback from you during Beta period.
In this version, Afterburner is world first utility to support over-voltage of GeForce GTX 480/470/465, it also implement screen capture function for DX10 and DX11 games and monitor history function. Also, built-in benchmark Kombustor has a lot of improvement. MSI encourage all graphics card users to try it, even you don't have a MSI graphics card. (but they highly recommend you to buy one!)
We plan to announce our next major Afterburner revision in coming month, we can assure you the best will be EVEN BETTER in next version! Stay tuned!
[Afterburner v1.6.0 Changelog]
Added NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards support (including voltage control!)
Added voltage control for MSI N240GT Low Profile series graphics cards
Changed marketing name for MSI R5670-PD512 in hardware database
Added basic screen capture support by means of built-in screen capture engine of MSI On-Screen Display server. Now it is possible to assign the hotkey for capturing screenshots in BMP,PNG or JPG formats on desktop, in DirectX or in OpenGL applications
Added hardware monitoring history logging support. Now MSI Afterburner is able to save history in native RivaTuner Hardware Monitoring Log file format. The log files captured with MSI Afterburner can be viewed in any text editor like Notepad or in graphics form in RivaTuner's HML file viewer (RivaTuner must be installed for viewing log files in graphics form)
Added new safety option allowing forcing constant voltage on some cards with voltage regulators supporting programmable dynamic voltage management (e.g. VT1165 or uP6266). New safety option may improve stability on some systems a well as provide power state independent voltage control on the systems with non-standard voltage control implementation
Screen capture and On-Screen Display hotkey events are now being processed via direct connection to the On-Screen Display server instead of command line. Due to this change Screen capture and On-Screen Display visibility control hotkeys are being processed faster now
MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 3.7.1. New server gives you a lot of improvements including:
DirectX11 On-Screen Display and screen capture support
DirectX screen capture engine is no longer using DirectX runtimes to capture and compress screenshots. Screen capture and compression to PNG/JPG formats in DirectX applications is now handled by own more effective LIBPNG/JPEGLIB based library
PNG and JPG screen capture support for desktop and OpenGL applications
Adjustable JPG screen capture quality for experienced users
Screen capture support for DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing or non-standard frame buffer formats (e.g. sRGB)
Optional On-Screen Display 3D rendering mode. New mode uses 3D accelerated DirectX functions to emulate previously used 2D framebuffer access functions and render 2D text. New rendering mode provides On-Screen Display support in DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing and can also drastically reduce OSD related performance hit on the systems with badly optimized 2D acceleration in display drivers
Simplified On-Screen Display coordinate space settings. Rarely used desktop and window coordinate space modes have been merged into single framebuffer coordinate space mode
Now the server automatically selects framebuffer coordinate space instead of viewport coordinate space when viewport is not accessible (e.g. if pure Direct3D8 device is in use)
Improved application notification scheme during runtime profiles adjustment. Now runtime changes in OSD application profiles (e.g. OSD zoom ratio change on the fly) are reflected in affected application almost immedaitely instead of approximately 1 second delay in the previos versions
Reduced runtime skin engine memory footprint due to dynamic skin storage unloading
Improved race condition protection system for multithreaded 3D engines (e.g. Age of dragons : Origins and ArmA II)
Improved race condition protection system for the systems running multiple OSD applications simultaneously (e.g. OSD server, FRAPS and STEAM In-Game Chat)
Improved floating injection address hooking technology. Due to more advanced built-in code analyzer hooks can be injected deeper into 3D application code if stealth mode is enabled. These changes improve stealth mode compatibility with third party tools using similar stealth injection technologies (e.g. FRAPS v2.9.8 and newer)
Now stealth mode cannot be toggled during 3D application runtime to reduce the risk of crashing 3D application
Removed single screen capture per second limitation
Updated profiles list
Now MSI Afterburner distributive includes original 128x128 PNG application logo (stored in .\Graphics folder) for dockbar applications like RocketDock or ObjectDock
It is no longer necessary to close the application to save monitoring window attachment state
[Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days] option is no longer set in the task settings when using alternate startup mode via the task scheduler under Windows Vista / Windows 7
Full list active of On-Screen Display server clients is now displayed in window instead of the most recent client
Floating tooltips help system is now reinitialized properly after runtime skin switching
Added Ukrainian localization

Founder Erik Sprunk-Jansen said of his comprehensively tested formulas "Having worked in both orthodox and herbal medicine, I believe the two disciplines should work alongside each other to benefit all people." This is obviously true in measuring WEIGHLEVEL's success. "Not only do these (Greek-Arabic) formulas work, they're also different from anything else you can find."
The four active herbs in WEIGHLEVEL, specifically chosen for their synergistic properties, include Lady's Mantle ( Alchemilla vulgaris L.), Olive (Olea europaea L.), Wild mint (Mentha longiforia L.), and Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.). These traditional Greek-Arabic herbs work together to suppress the appetite, increase thermogenesis (fat burning), and stimulate metabolism.

"Tastes as good as advertised, but the construction is much better than I expected. A very nicely rolled, slow-burner that'll routinely leave 2 - 2.5 inch ash. I'm happy to have found this one - a nice option to my morning when I don't want a sweet baccarat or am not quite up for my regular 5 vegas gold."DB of Ellensburg, WA
"Yes! I scored a box of these for under 40 bucks. How do I get away with that sort of thing? Built like a churchill that goes to the gym a lot, I can't call this thing a 'stick' - it's a branch. And it's a tasty branch: very smooth and mellow, but still flavorful. The draw was just right, and it burned even from front to ... still front .. middle... almost back .. back. It's like watching Spaceball 1 fly by. Buy some, and smoke it with someone you can stand hanging out with for an hour and half or more."MB of Milford, MA
"What a beautiful smoke! Perfect construction, draw and burn."CD of Bristol, CT
"This Mark Twain cigar seems like a gimmick, but it isn't. This cigar is the real deal Holyfield. For about $3.00, you get a very good mild-medium bodied cigar with excellent construction, nice burn, real tobacco flavor with hints of cedar and wood, and a clean smooth finish. Samuel Clements would be proud!"EW of Mclean, VA
"3 boxes in and I can safely say this is one of the most flavorful, consistent tasting mild cigars I've smoked in the last few years. Leave your "price = quality" attitudes at the door, this cigar is a keeper!"BY of Okeechobee, FL
"Honestly, I was skeptical about these. I only ordered them since they were the daily deal and my entire order shipped free with it. I figured even if I didn't like them, I got them for next to nothing and could hand them out while I smoked the "good" cigars. Boy was I wrong about these babies. They are smooth, creamy, ashes well, and keeps me on the porch - and out of my wife's hair - for about an hour. My 2nd order has been sitting in my humi for a week. If you like it mild and mellow and have some time, these are it!"CC of Lamarque, TX
"Right out of the box this is a pleasure. Nice construction, good solid burn, plenty of smoke, and a nice taste on the palate. I smoke med-full usually but this is a great change up. I'll always have some in the humidor."KE of Beach Park, IL
"I smoke mild/medium and don't have a good taste for nuances. I found this stick (#3) mild but harsh at the same time if that makes any sense. This was right out of the box so I'll give the rest some time to age and hope they improve."RT of Panama City, FL
"I bought a box of the #3s (the biggest ones) and I'm definitely going to buy these again from now on. I was working my way through all the top selling mild cigars here at CI, but after trying 5 Vegas Gold (which I found too strong) then trying Mark Twain, and after finding them to be mild, mellow and even tasting until the last 2 1/2" or so, I see no reason to test others. You have to set aside at least a good 90 minutes to smoke one."DI of Huntington Beach, CA
"good construction,easy draw,even burn. mild smooth smoke. a real cigar."DO of Desoto, TX
"creamy smooth and mellow (just the way I like my gars). and big churchills to boot (another way I like my gars). the twains are my everyday cigar. I've found a home with the twains or maybe the twains found a home with me I should say."NP of Bensenville, IL
"Everything about this cigar is top notch. When I first got them in from the UPS man I took two out and gave one to a friend. We sat down and enjoyed an hour and a half of great smoke and commented on how good these were right out of the box."SA of Hiram, GA
"This is an inexpensive cigar, but it's a good cigar. I got the churchill and --once it's done its time in the humidor--it's about an hour-and-a-half time committment. So, make sure you grab a couple craft brews and good buddy to smoke with you as the women-folk stay inside while you puff these on the patio. For a mild cigar, these really do have a lot of taste. I got toast, a hint of pepper, and tobacco flavors. This is a consistent cigar from foot to nub, and I didn't get a bad stick in the box. Worth the money? Heck to the yes! They're also good to share with guys that can handle a long smoke, but might not be quite ready to appreciate your more expensive stogies. Get a box!"MP of Canoga Park, CA
"These arent half bad for the price. If kept in the right condition, they burn pretty even and have a good flavor for a mild cigar. They're way cheap too. I scored a 10 pack at auction for 13 bucks. Not the best, but would buy again...just maybe not a whole box."DL of Atlantic Highlands, NJ
"Smoked the No.2 and No.3 size in this line up. Great breakfast cigar or anytime cigar for price. Good natural tobacco taste and goes good with coffee. I have this cigar and Vegas Gold as morning lineup before work. Highly suggest for the price and the sticks burn for a long time!"TH of Morristown, TN
"Having read the reviews, and I thank all of those who write them and wished more would write. This is the way I find out about cigars, and if it is worth the risk of purchasing them. As bad as I disklike saying this, and it goes against all of the other reviews. The first cigar I opend, cracked the cap when I went to cut it. The second one burned up to two inchces longer than the other side, and the flavor was less than enjoyable. I may have received a bad batch, and will leave in the humidor for a long period of time before trying another one. I ordered the 7.5 X 24, but if I had it to do over again, I would order the 54 rings size with the 8 inches in length. I'm only one who is not happy with the condition of the cigars, but again these may have come from a bad lot. When I smoke another one, if it acts the way the first two have I will send them back to CI."DM of Taylor, MI
"I didn't have the experience that SA had when I opened one of these right off the truck. It was so fragile, flavor lacking, and burned hot and fast. After putting it in my humi for a few days, it turned around 100%, and I enjoyed it all the way down to my fingers. Pretty good even burn, and an enjoyable mild with loads of flavor cigar. If I had it to do over again, instead of ordering the 7.5 X 52, I would have chosen the one with an 8 X 54 ring size, due to the length needs something a little bigger in rings size. Will buy more of these, but strongly recomend you put them in the humidor a few days prior to smoking."DM of Taylor, MI
"Just a great kick back cigar. Perfect for a relaxing evening with a tall glass of rum and coke. The No.2 are perfect for the price and I can't wait to order a box of No.3."NL of Newport News, VA
"Right out of the box great smoke. NO. 3 box purchase was well worth it. This cigar smoked very smooth. Burn was even and ash held for over 2 1/2 inches which is nice. Not much maintence needed. Smoke was extremly smooth and aroma was divine. Definatly just a light and enjoy, and for 3 bucks a stick, I cant see a better alternative. These have replaced my CI Mistakes, and Acid Kuba Kubas as my regulars."JS of Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
"I am a novice and this is the cigar experience I was looking for. Immediately after I lit it, I realized why. This is very similar to what my sicilian uncle, a WWII tank vet, smoked in his barber shop. Most particularly, the aroma and how the smoke hangs in the air. What I like most is the mild finish as I don't like a strong flavor lingering on my palate. My ONLY complaint is the difficulty I had unsticking the label from the outer leaf. That one more inch was worth the effort. An excellent long cigar for beginners."TV of Fresno, CA
"This is an inconsistent cigar. When you get a good one, it's very good but it's a real hit and miss. Aging helps but you still get some that have bad draw and harsh flavor. An OK cigar but there are other comparably priced cigars that are superior."GS of South Haven, MI
"I got a 7x52 in a sampler pack and the first few inches were a little harsh and left a bad taste in my mouth. but it did get better as I smoked more. I will leave the other 3 in the humidor a while to see if they improves."DO of DAVENPORT, IA
"Well, I got 5 of the #1 in a sampler. I smoked one right out of the gate and I was not impressed it was like blah. I did however leave the others in the humidor for about three weeks and WOW that made a world of difference. It smokes great, no relight good ash and great flavor. I will buy some again but I will leave them mellow for awhile."DO of DAVENPORT, IA
"The outside of the box says, nothing better for the price. This is so true. Even burn, easy draw, perfect construction. For $3 for a 54 ring 8 inch beauty, these are truly a terrific deal!"CM of Denver, CO
"Always smooth and so good. This has become one of my favorites and at an unbelievable price. I always keep plenty of these on hand in my humidor."FR of Douglasville, GA
"I ordered a box of #3. Outstanding smoke! Excellent taste and a fragrant aroma. An easy draw and even burn. Would go perfectly with a morning cup of coffee! I will be ordering a box each month! Due to the length of time it takes to smoke one, this is an excellent choice for one's day off!"JC of Indianapolis, IN
"Incredibly mild, but very flavorful. I didn't know what to expect from the "toast" taste described in the rundown and by others, but that is exactly what it tastes like. Strong toast and oak throughout. Very pleasing and will DEFINITELY be buying again."SR of WAVERLY, IL
"A box of Double Coronas was my joyous introduction to the CI way of doing things, and having enjoyed my first order so much (so far) I've purchased a number of boxes, bundles and tins! This smooth stick was to smoking what the man it was named after was to story telling. Smooth taste with an even burn and long ash, and it stayed cool to the end. I did let them have 4 or 5 days in the humidor before I lit up the first one and it was so worth the wait. Recommended to beginners and long time aficionados too..... and certainly a box I will order again."DD of Pontiac, MI
"Ordered a box of #2 and the first one off the truck was great. Even draw, slow burn and plenty of pleasant white smoke. As a novice smoker the taste was smooth, and has a nice finish. Gave one to my buddy who introduced me to cigars, and he thoroughly enjoyed it as well! Time in the humidor makes them even better. No wonder they have been selling like hot cakes!"TB of El Cajon, CA
"I'm more of a medium-full type of guy, but I got these in a sampler pack so I gave it a shot. Glad I did. Great flavor that was consistent throughout the whole stick. I will definitely be ordering some in the future, especially with its great prices. If you're a medium-full guy looking for a change or to "come to the other side" try one of these."FR of Staten Island, NY
"the MARK TWAINS are some of the best cigars ive had in some time I love the the toast taste about half way and for the money i would buy them anytime one great cigar"MB of Grover Beach, CA
"I'm a full flavor guy (Ruination, Diesel, Flathead, La Bijou, etc), but my wife thought she would be nice and buy me a box of Mark Twain #1's for Christmas....... I almost asked her to send them back, but didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I said "what the heck" and gave them a try. At first light, they are REALLY mild, but to my surprise, they began to pick up some pretty decent flavor after the first inch...... once I got down to the second half, I would certainly classify these as more of a medium than mild. These turned out to be a fantastic after dinner cigar out on the deck along with a good cup of coffee. A good reminder that it doesn't have to be a powerhouse cigar to be tasty....."FW of Miamisburg, OH
"I'm in my 5th box now of these wonderful cigars. Each one has been a great draw and smooth all the way to the finish. Not only are these great on walks, but on golf courses too! They are wonderfully mild, yet have a quite unique taste. Not sweet like other mild cigars, but just the perfect blend without the bitter taste in your mouth at the end. Great cigar!"HP of FAIRFIELD, CA
"well, not much to say that hasn't been said. its a right good cigar I tell you what, and its a bloody shame ol' mark couldn't smoke 'em his self. he'd find it a better endorsement than the typesetter he busted on. but its mellow, smooth, and for the price, I feel like im robbing CI, but thanks to these fellas behind the counter, so to speak, us shoppers get the best deal for our dough. long live CI!"TF of Trumbull, CT
"I would like to add to the chorus of praise on this cigar brand...very mild...sweet and creamy...awesome smoke at a good price and a nice box to boot."DC of READING, PA
"Easy to light. Very good construction, draw and burn. Slight uneven burn requiring only one touchup. Heavy smoke output but light on the palate. Mild strength with medium flavors. Sweet cedar and cream flavors with a slight white pepper finish. No change in strength or flavor profile but does become a bit harsh and bitter in second half."PC of LEXINGTON, SC
"I always passed over these for fear they would let me down. I figured the cheap price and gimmicky name were sure signs of poor flavor and construction. But DAMN! was I wrong! I personally have yet to try a stick of this size and quality at $3 a piece. When the sale email came out I decided to read the reviews and was surprised by all the positive comments so I gave them a shot. 3 days after they arrived I decided to order another box. Now I just need to grow a Mark Twain beard so I can truly fit the role."RO of WOBURN, MA
"Have my first Mark Twain Churchill this afternoon with some coffee. Great smoke. Very mild and flavorful. I think it is comparable to the Rocky Patel Vintage 1999. What a value. Great smoke and I'll do it again. Thanks CI for the great stick."AK of Topton, PA
"With a name like Mark Twain you might suspect this cigar to be gimmicky but, to my surprise, this cigar is incredibly enjoyable for a mild bodied anytime cigar. This beauty is well constructed, has a moderately even burn, releases the ash around two inches, and has a consistent creamy flavor from foot to nub. The best all around mild bodied, flavorful yard cigar I have tried. With continued consistency, you can expect this cigar's price to increase with its reputation."RT of Eagle Point, OR
"I met a guy a week ago at a garden center...he was about 20 yards away and I could smell his cigar...told me wife and she agreed that it had a nice aroma...started up a conversation and he said it was a Mark Twain and how inexpensive it was...couple days later I had to put in an order...got them yesterday and had to have one today...have to admit it was very very good... especially the price. Nice and mild , no bite...very easy draw and great plumes of smoke...it was huge but lasted a little over an hour which was fine with me...I will be getting more of these sticks for sure..."DE of Gibbsboro, NJ
"A good cigar for the price."EW of Virginia Beach, VA
"I got some of these in a sampler and they turned out to be the favorite of the bunch! Each one had a great draw and a silky smooth character with some spicy notes. I was so pleasantly surprised I am definitely going to order these again. Definitely more than worth the price."JM of Petaluma, CA
"I ordered a box based on all the positive reviews and was not disappointed. Usually a medium to full smoker I found these to have ample spice and the sale price made this a good buy."MK of Waianae, HI
"Absolutely fantastic mild cigar with wonderful aroma, burn, and taste. There is no reason to buy a different brand if you're looking for a smooth, mild cigar. Does anyone know who makes these?"DO of Arlington, TX
"This is my go-to golfing cigar. Two cigars easily last 18 holes. Very smooth cigar with nice construction."RT of APO, AE
""Eating and sleeping are the only activities that should be allowed to interrupt a man's enjoyment of his cigar." - Mark Twain As a relative newcomer to the world of cigars, I found this cigar to be very enjoyable. It had a slow burn, lots of smoke, lots of ash, and a very consistent flavor throughout. They arrived about 2 weeks ago and have been sitting in the humidor (once I got it seasoned). My dog was thrilled too, because I smoked this as I walked him so his walk was twice as long as usual. When we came around to the house, he was ready to go back inside. But, I was still not done with the cigar. So, I set it down, put a cup under the Keurig, added some Kahlua, and headed to the garage (don't smoke in the house) and spent another 15 minutes finishing it up. I have had cigars that cost twice or more as much as this cigar that I didn't enjoy half as much (the CAO CX2, for example). I am going to be sure to keep room for these in my little humidor. And if I run out of room, I'll just have to buy a bigger humidor in order to make room."DB of Hainesville, IL
"Surprisingly good. Would definitely put these up there with the 5 Vegas Gold."PS of Ocean View, NJ
"Nice cigar. Well made and great draw. Overall it's a good smoke."ML of Pinson, AL
"Big and Mild! A solidly mild smoke, creamy to the nub! Listen carefully; can you here old Sam calling to you? Enjoy!"JK of Morrison, OK
"A great cigar at a great price. This is my "grass" cigar. I cut about 1 acre and when I get on my mower, put on my ear protection and light one up...the world melts away. There's always enough left at the end to sit down and enjoy it with my "reward" beer - for a job well done! Even burn, nice, long gray ash. I order a box every spring and it lasts all season with 1-3 left over for just plain enjoying without the work."AR of MULLICA HILL, NJ
"Enjoying my 1st cigar that a friend gave me. I think it's the 8.5x54. Very good smoke. Nice burn, good construction, mild cigar. I like it!"RH of STILLWATER, OK
"This is a great cigar, great taste, smooth thick smoke, rich but you can inhale, good price, burns even, very satisfying but best of all this sucker last one and one half hours good to the last inch. Got one in a sample pack then brought the 20 box 8 inch, comes in a nice box."EE of Collierville, TN
"I got a Churchill from a sampler pack that came with my order. Wow. I was really blown away. Normally, I don't expect much from a mild cigar, but it was surprisingly flavorful. There were pleasant notes of cedar and leather, and a faint bit of cherry. I'm really glad I tacked on the sampler pack for $5, because this was a great find. I'll be adding them to the humidor soon."BB of Florence, MS
"For your money, this cigar puts many bundle cigars to shame. It was a great smoke for the money. The ash was brilliantly white and held on for the ride. Pretty nice construction and I had no burning issues whatsoever. I wish I had bought more when they were on sale. That said, at the current price, it's still a good cigar. Not great, but very good. Check it out."MM of Auburn, MA
"It's been awhile since I've had these, but CI had a 1 day deal of 10 for $20 plus a $20 gift card (thanks for the no brainer deal, CI). All I can say is it's an overall great value. Good construction, even burn, solid ash, easy draw with a good amount of smoke. It's kind of a 1 hit wonder with the taste, but it's a good buttery smooth flavor. It goes really well after a heavier meal, when you have the time for a longer smoke, and it pairs well with multiple drinks. Overall, I would give this a solid 7.5 out of 10. It would be higher if it had more of a flavor profile, even if it was just some woodsy nuances mixed in."CC of LAMARQUE, TX
"A nice, smooth smoke! And like Mark Twain, I will enjoy several while rolling down the Mississippi River this summer on the American Queen!"BR of FULLERTON, CA
"Wow, what a great cigar!"DB of North Babylon, NY
"Have to be honest. Had to see what Mark Twain was about. Overall... not a bad smoke. Buying another box. GC the Fat Cat"GC of BALDWIN CITY, KS
"Smooth broomstick. My only complaint was the rings were a little tough to remove, but that had nothing to do with the great taste."RS of Utica, NY
"Great cigar. Have never been disappointed with brand. However, I'm saving them for cooler weather because they last at least an hour on the back porch."DM of Fort Smith, AR
"Mark Twain is a GREAT Mild Cigar. Great Draw and mild Taste. 3 Jumbo Sizes are a plus. More Bang for your buck!! GREAT BUY...."PR of Park Ridge, IL
"Very good light cigar for a Sunday morning."MS of TEMPLE, TX
"Very smooth and creamy stick. Definitely tasted a bit of oak near the end. This puppy burned about an hour and a half and never required to be relit or touching up. Very even burn throughout the experience. If you are a mild cigar person or want to try something new, definitely consider these!"RL of BROOKLYN PARK, MN
"looking for a nice long mild smoke? look no further these will not disappoint nice smoke nice price thanks CI"RM of Sunrise, FL
"They are just ok. For the price I can't complain...."BA of Fenton, MI

Sun prepares Java server update
- Related Stories
Sun bets on free Java toolNovember 13, 2003
Sun last month released a stripped-down, developer edition of its Sun Application Server 8.0, which includes a tool kit for writing and deploying Java applications. That initial edition of the application server adheres to the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) version 1.4 standard, which makes it easier to build Web services applications.

expanded GUTS section.
During the briefing, Bauhaus also said that interest is strong in Sun's packaging system for Java server software, called the Java Enterprise System. Sun started selling its Java Enterprise System earlier this month for $100 per employee per year.
Sun's pricing method, which contrasts with the typical per-processor licensing model, is "driving the excessive rent out of the application server market," Bauhaus said. Sun continues to sell individual components of the Java server software suite on a per-processor basis, but customers that buy more than two or three components, such as the identity management software and the portal, will save money by going with the per-employee licensing structure, he said.
Sun is also increasing investment in its Web server software, Bauhaus said. The company has incorporated tools to let developers use scripting languages with its Web software. Future enhancements will focus on security and performance.
Bauhaus conceded that about one year ago Sun's standing in the market for Java-based Web services software "was not exactly a beautiful picture." According to research from Gartner Dataquest, IBM and BEA Systems dominated the Java server software market share in 2002, garnering about two thirds of all application server revenue, while Sun lagged far behind.
In the past year, though, Sun was elected to a board seat on the Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) organization, which is publishing guidelines on how to adhere to Web services standards. That position has given Sun more influence in the industry, which it would like to use to make the WS-I's processes and voting more transparent, Bauhaus said.
Bauhaus also highlighted a number of customers, such as the British National Health service, that have signed on with Sun to purchase both individual components within the Java Enterprise System as well as the entire package.
Sun customer Shell Energy attended the press briefing and discussed a project that uses Sun's Java software and server hardware.
Shell HomeGenie is a consumer service that will allow people to control their home appliances and thermostat from an Internet-enabled device, such as a PC or mobile phone. Shell Energy expects to release the HomeGenie service in the United States in the first half of next year for less than $30 per month.

Tiger Woods wins the 2005 Masters, defeating Chris DiMarco in a playoff. / Jeff Haynes, AFP/Getty Images
The Masters isn't the oldest of golf's majors, it's not the biggest. It is the championship of nothing, not like the U.S. Open (championship of the USA) or Open Championship (the unofficial world championship) or the PGA (which encompasses nearly 30,000 pro golfers).
But the Masters is as major as it gets, and even as old and as grand as those other championships are, what happens at Augusta seems to resonate louder. Maybe it's all those echoes in the pines.
Here are 10 of the most memorable:
THURSDAY: Tiger Woods and the chip
In 2005, Tiger Woods was in the midst of a mini-drought: He hadn't won a major for nearly three years, since the 2002 U.S. Open.
A surge at the end of the third round, which was completed Sunday morning, sent Woods into the final round with a three-shot lead on Chris DiMarco.
But that lead did not hold. It took one of the most amazing shots in Masters history to give Woods a chance to win.
At the par-3 16th he hit his tee shot long and left, a place where pars are seldom saved. Woods went one better.
He chipped in, playing 20 or so feet of break.
The ball hung agonizingly on the lip, stopping there as though pondering Woods' fate against DiMarco.
As Woods' chip took a hard right turn on the 16th green and trickled toward the hole, a roar like few others ever heard at Augusta National began to build.
"Somehow, an earthquake happened, and it fell in," Woods said.
If anything, the extraordinary birdie kept Woods from losing the tournament. He promptly bogeyed the last two holes. DiMarco nearly won on No. 18, but his chip hit the flagstick and deflected 5 feet away.
"To me, the difference was his chip on No. 16 went in and mine on No. 18 didn't," DiMarco said.

But here's the rub- It wasnt by the route sheet route, and my battery died. I ended up pushing hte bike the last half mile or so. Saw no other bikes becuase I wasnt on the route.
So its got its advantages and disadvantages.
Thank you for the explanation.

Usually you can find another rider or two starting near you, and you ride together to the next stage or service.
Jack...I wouldn't use the GPS as a route guide, but rather in case I have to bail out and get back to the service area. Maybe I'll just pack it in my backpack just in case.

Promptly after Jewish Community Foundation learned it had lost its $18 million investment with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, the nonprofit that manages the funds of some of Los Angeles Jewry's blue-blood nonprofits created a special committee to investigate itself. The special committee reported today that the foundation did nothing wrong.
"The Special Committee's work was exhaustive and subjected the Jewish Community Foundation to unprecedented levels of self-scrutiny and self-examination into the massive fraud perpetrated upon our institution and other innocent investors," Marvin I. Schotland, president and CEO, said in a statement. "We undertook this comprehensive effort and release this summary of findings out of an unwavering commitment to continuing disclosure and accountability that we have stressed since the outset of these events."
I previously reported much of what appears in the nine-page executive summary (download the PDF here).
Opportunities to recover funds, short of possibly up to $500,000 from the Securities Investment Protection Corporation, appear minimal. The committee's nine recommendations concern investment-vote approval and general governance. Such as No. 5: "Investment of CIP [common investment pool] assets in funds managed by or affiliated with Investment Committee members shall be prohibited."
Surprisingly, that wasn't previously one of the committee's policies. However, the Jewish Community Foundation's in-house police reported that "no conflicts of interests or special considerations [were] found." Though David Polak, then chair of the investment committee, invested personally with Madoff and recommended the common investment pool do the same, he received no "considerations or favors." Neither, the committee reported, did the two other foundation board members who invested with Madoff.
This was not the case for J. Ezra Merkin and Stanley Chais.

the hot dogs can be made vegan and taste nice.
it is noch expensive and has a nice ambience.
It's important to understand that this place is mainly about meat - in the form of hot dogs. But they also offer vegan sausages for the hot dogs (and of course other vegan ingredients and vegan bread) and the one I had was really tasty. When I went there they also had vegan brownies (there was a sign saying "finally vegan brownies").
A big plus is that they use organic ingredients. I can certainly recommend this place for a vegan snack (good quality and tasty for an OK price) for those who don't mind that they mainly sell meat (one cow less in my rating for that).
The restaurant serves vegetarian or vegan hotdog options, but meat as well. Vegetarian sausages are soja-based and vegan. Nice place for a snack or or for take away. The menu is shown on the website http://www.myodogcafe.com/produkte. Worth a try!

The first LinuxWorld Conference & Expo ever in Australia
March 2006 saw the first LinuxWorld Conference & Expo ever in Australia. The event was held in perfect weather over three days in Sydney.
LinuxWorld Australia had a combination of excellent speakers and a genuine effort to cater to business and government. There was also some strong community participation in LinuxWorld, which really showed business and government representatives the value of the community itself. LinuxWorld came to Australia at an excellent time, when businesses and Government agencies are becoming keenly interested in FOSS but are struggling to find vendor-neutral information. LinuxWorld provided that opportunity, and we saw at the event many people who hadn't had their needs catered to in the past.

Blake (film)
|Directed by
|Bill Mason
|Blake James
Release dates
Blake is a 1969 short documentary by Bill Mason about his friend and fellow filmmaker Blake James, who pilots his own plane. The film was produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB).[1][2]
Filming Blake was often dangerous. On one occasion, Mason lost sight of James while filming from another airplane. It was discovered that James had been forced to land on an island in the St. Lawrence River after forgetting to switch on his main fuel tank. The film was shown theatrically in Canada and acquired by an American distributor. Theatrical showings in the U.S. led to an Oscar nomination in the live-action short category.[2]
Mason and James first met at a commercial art studio in Winnipeg. They later worked together at Crawley Films before both going to the NFB.[2] James' film credits include an animated vignette on Canadian aviation pioneer Wilfrid R. "Wop" May.[3] He also starred in Mason's acclaimed short film The Rise and Fall of the Great Lakes.
Awards for Blake included three Golden Sheaf Awards, for best film, best social science film as well as the award for best directing.[4] The film received an Etrog Award (now known as a Genie Award) for Best Film under 30 minutes and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.[1][2] Blake also received the Grand Prize at the 1971 Melbourne Film Festival.[5]

New numbers out on retirement planning and they don't look good for many.
According to a new Bankrate.com report, nearly a third of all Americans have not saved any money for retirement. That's 69-percent of 18-to-29 year-olds, 33-percent of 30-to-49 year-olds and 26-percent of 50-to-65 year-olds.
The bright spot in the report, those who are saving are starting at an earlier age.
Financial experts say regardless of your age, it's never too late to start saving for those golden years.

1798/7 BD-1 Eagle, 9x4 Stars, XF451798/7 $10 9x4 Stars XF45 PCGS. CAC. Breen-6836, Taraszka-9, BD-1, R.4. Bass-Dannreuther Die State b/b, struck before the 1797 BD-3 eagle offered previously. John Dannreuther considers this an intermediate die state, with a heavy crack from the border through the L in LIBERTY, down to the cap. Only a slight beginning of a second crack from the border to the top of the R in LIBERTY is evident. The second crack eventually continues through that letter to the forecurl. The reverse has a fine die crack through the tops of UN and TED, although less advanced than seen on the 1797 eagle.
Intermediate Die State
Intermediate Die State
With 80 to 100 examples known, the 1798/7 BD-1 eagle is a scarce variety in the context of early eagles, although it would be a major rarity in most series. For example, fewer of these coins survive than do 1796 or 1797 half dollars, 1794 silver dollars, 1796 quarter eagles, 1808 quarter eagles, and many other rarities. Demand for this variety is received from early eagle specialists, Guide Book collectors, type collectors, and overdate enthusiasts.
This pleasing piece exhibits rich greenish-gold color with dark cherry-red accents that are especially visible in the margins within the borders. It is sharply detailed with minor field marks of little consequence. Although the right obverse border is indistinct, the strike is reasonably well-centered on the flan with slight central weakness, primarily on the obverse.
Ex: Stack's (6/2008), lot 2096.

Magnificent yet magnificently daft news out of Switzerland: the Maserati Quattroporte is going racing.
The four-door V8 supercar is preparing to hit the track in the Italian 'Superstars Series' touring car championship, duking it out with Audi RS4s and BMW M5s. It'll be entered by Swiss race outfit 'Swiss Team' (tricky to know how they came up with that name, really) and driven by former F1 driver Andrea Chiesa.
It might even look a bit like it does in that picture, too. See, that's only a hastily cobbled together rendering from Swiss Team - they admit they haven't even finalised the car's livery yet - but the early signs are promising. We like.
The QP racer will retain Maserati's 4.2-litre V8 engine, which will put out about 450bhp to the rear wheels through a sequential racing box. We're told that it should weigh in at a non-handicapped 1,430kg, while the bodywork will remain near-stock. The QP is expected to debut on-track at Imola this weekend.
So what strange and unlikely metal would you like to see on the race track? How about the new Aston Rapide? Or, if we're going really left-field, a Rolls Phantom? Suggestions please...
Talking of racing Maseratis, watch Stig in the Ferrari Enzo-baiting MC12:

What's the weight for these skis? Not in tech specs
Isn't the touring binding included in this ski?
Anyone know the max weight on this cot is?
gloves are real nice looking, straight black, clean. The touch feature barely works with my android. You have to press hard to get it to respond, so forget texting remotely fast. I have tried other gloves such as the north face etip and worked nicely. Returning

I haven't sent this thing through the wringer quite yet., but have not seen any problems what soever. Definately a day pack though, but still beefy to hold my skis and food/water/equipment all day. Is low profile, and the pockets are just a no nonsense open pocket with a couple sleeves.
I know this isn't the DLX, but I still wish this model had the insulation sleeve for the bladder.

I got this off SAC for a cool $60. I'm 6'2" and it fits my prolite plus long pad just fine. The first night I used it it poured all night long and was dry in the morning. It's light and of course packs well cause there is not a lot of fabric.
However, There is minimal vestibule space for your gear. For multi day trips with a large pack, you will have to store outside or in your buddy's vestibule. Also, I'm not a big fan of the door on the front of the tent instead of the side. I'm not sure why they did this. It's not freestanding, but I don't care about that, use the included stakes.
However, because of the small volume of the tent, it does stay very warm at night in colder temps.
For the price its a steal, but you have about the same room as a bivy sack and heavier so.

Refreshing to find a good lamp with all the bells and whistles you 'need' at an affordable price. The combination of the regulated 100 lumens, waterproof, lockable, red light! spot and camp lights, and the power meter every time you turn the lamp on.
It takes 4 AAA instead of my old one that had 3 and it is a little heavier than my old princeton aurora, but the added lumens and the red light made me want to upgrade.
Also, free shipping from BC!

Ok, I know I just got it in the mail yesterday, but I'm wicked excited to use it. It's packs super small and is only 1 lb 6oz, comes with a compression sack and storage bag. and although I haven't used it in a practical sense yet, I got in it last night when it was around 45ish, and I was pretty toasty. just had my thin cotton work clothes on too. I'm a hot sleeper, so I should be fine in it and can't wait to use it on the trail this summer. Got it off sportchalet.com for $90!

Light, good size inside, 3 people is stretching it, but it can fit everyone inside in a pinch, without the gear obviously. I've had it for 3 years now, used in complete downpour, 30+ winds. It's a great tent, 5lbs a 2-3 person tent is pretty nice, Doesn't come with a footprint however, and sierra designs doesn't make one anymore, so will have to make one out of a nylon tarp and some gussets, but should be fine.
No issues with it what so ever. I'm going to waterproof it this year, the DWR has diminished a little, but still wont let water in. Love the two doors

My review is based on the difference between the mid raiths and my old pair of mid ll beans. While the old LLs were waterproof, they were full leather and didn't breath. These raiths breath like a pair of lungs. I have hot feet and can normally hike in 3 season boots in the winter, which also mean they sweat profusely. I hiked two high peaks in the ADK in the spring in these. Adk mud, ice and snow, and my feet were dry as a bone. They breath great and are completely waterproof. I have a pair of mountaineering boots with eVent and breath the same way.
After reviewing the comments on the some keens and the merrel moabs, I went with these because they seemed to offer more support on the sole. Other boots soles seemed to soft for me and might not be as comfortable on longer hikes.
Looking forward to trying these out on a 28 mile hike coming up. Hopefully, my review will stay the same and I'll continue to love these!

Needed to not get sludged on in rainstorms when hiking, these pants are waterproof. Simple, basic, lightweight, functional. The zips at the bottom allows to get them on and off quickly with boots. velcro and drawstring to keep them up.
Great buy

Will this brake setup work for an older TLT Speed binding?
I bought these with the intention for camp show use. So far so good, Just sitting around camp in less than 20 degree weather and my feet were extremely warm and comfortable.
Over time a couple feathers had come out, but no rips yet, and fit small for me so I had to get the XL. but the only qualm I have have to deal with is because how I use them, which is cold weather camping and not casual. The sole is thin, if you're standing on ice for some time, you will start to feel the cold. If you're walking around or sitting, my feet stayed pretty toasty.
Overall, great buy off SAC!

Picked up a pair off SAC after reading the reviews. The only size they had was the XL when I normally wear L (38" waist) Thinking I would just return them if too big, had no idea how the sizing was as this was my first stoic pant. I gotta say though, after trying them on, I was surprised they fit almost perfectly. The L would not fit what soever. So yes, the sizing may be off a bit but I am happy with them.
Not sure what this ergo fit is really, but the flexibility of these pants is amazing, didn't run up the crotch or pull up off the ankle like many of my snow pants do. I'm not sold on no zippers on the front pockets, but the cargo pocket should fit the things I usually carry in there.
Can't wait to try these out in the field, northern NY is getting snow today (10/27), although it'll be gone tomorrow. If these pants work through the season I'll def be giving them 5 stars
Update: I've been wearing them constantly whilst alpine skiing, this past weekend I even wore them hiking and they performed admirably. Again, the flexibility of these pants is great, water resistant and light insulation, so when hiking in sub freezing temps, you are not sweating when moving, and not freezing when stopped.

After searching for a new jacket, a BC rep led me to the bombshell. My first impression, as like many others was the seemingly soft stretchy fabric which looked like I could catch a limb and rip it easily. But pay no mind, this fabric is strong, waterproof, windproof and breathable. I love it cause just on warmer days and wearing no layers, the fabric is very comfortable yet protects. I got an XXL as I'm on the cusp of being a tad larger than an XL. the sizing for me is perfect with use of layers.The main reason I got this was all the features on the shell which I have wanted and needed for years. wrist gaiters, pit zips, removable powder skirt and a high neck. Seriously, for the amount of shell you get for the money you pay is an unbelievable purchase. I think the only difference I have between this years and last years model is the recco reflector and the mesh in the underarm vents, which would be sweet to have, (but I digress)
After a full season of use, my subjective review was outstanding for this jacket. A few things to note; there was some minor pilling near the wrist pocket, the brim is not very stiff and if you're skiing east coast, you eventually will be skiing in the rain and a sloppy brim is just annoying for me.(non helmet wearer) Also, the wrist gaiters has this very dense material that pulls into your skin around your thumb after a couple hours of use, makes the hands a little sore. (kinda wish the brim was made from this material)
My collection of stoic products is growing exponentially.I got the deep tahoe which is great, not as electrifying colorful like some other stoic products
and...and the jacket is proven while using a homemade zipline...

Borrowed a friends necky manitou 13 this past weekend, and I must say it was a joy to run. large back compartment for gear and plenty of storage on the bungies up front. the seat was adjustable two ways and good padding.
As a 13 I think a front compartment would have been ideal as there was plenty of room for a front bulkhead with my feet there, also as I stuff all my gear in the back I am def stern heavy and a little unstable as the bow sticks more in the air, had to wrap some more gear up front to balance out.
overall though, a good ride, for one or two nights.

Went shopping for kayaks a couple weeks ago and ended up with he tsunami 120. It is a perfect fit for the gf, she does mostly flatwater trips but do come across some small class 1 rapids, (shes not a fan of higher) but the kayak could def handle up to, but no more than class III. The boat tracks great, yet can steer with ease in creeks/ rivers. Lots of room, but if you are taller than 6' than be sure to try out the 125, it's a bit wider and is has a more forgiving height for the larger folk like my self.
I've tried a few other mfg seats, but the WS seats are the most comfortable I've come across, great padding and lots of different ways to adjust.

I really like the concept for convertible pants, and having owned a couple pairs I've always found the ones that rub the zippers on my knees when I have the bottoms off. This is not the case is these pants, I'm taller 6'2" but have shorter legs and most L/XL would just rub against my knees or the sides (where ever the zipper head was) These fit me so they are just above my knee and allows no rubbing when I'm hiking.
Not only that they are very nice to wear on hot days and the material is light but strong as well. The zipper heads are on the legs and are color coded for each leg! genius! the extra zippered pocket is awesome, and the belt that comes with just sum up these BA pants

As Evan said, it isn't the most flashiest device, doesn't have touch screen, doesn't have a super VGA resolution. However, it's water resistant, sturdy, picks up the gps signal quickly, color display with a joystick pointer, has tons of options to help you track your way, is just a solid piece of equipment and part of my gear for the last 4 years, and have no reason why I need something new.
