The Emperor said the second Death Star was fully operational, and it still didn't go anywhere. And with the shield bein' generated by a source on the Endor moon's surface, I'd say it couldn't go anywhere.
And, while ya can speculate that at some point, they may have thrown an engine & shield generator on the damn thing and gone somewhere, they didn't. It got blowed up just like the first.
Meanwhile, no one seems to have a problem with Deep Space Nine, even though it totally changed locations from Bajor's orbit to the wormhole in the pilot episode. It didn't go anywhere after that, but it did move, under its own power, from one location to another onscreen.
Yea, since the Death Star (And Stargate) were allowed in, I didn't want to bring DS9 up, but, most definitely, of the 3, it has the biggest question mark.

Right now I'm focusing on college and getting my undergraduate degree in Food and Agriculture Politics in Massachusetts. I'm really interested in the new sustainable agriculture/buying local movement so hopefully I will be able to be involved in that after I graduate.
Other than that, college swimming takes over a lot of my life right now and I'm just hoping to meet some people who share the same interests :)
But first things first - Do you even lift bro?

Hi, I'm Lin Xu, a Program Manager working on the C++ compiler.
Recently, we collated performance numbers from our testing passes over this release cycle. We track many different benchmarks closely for all of the architectures and switch options (/O1, /O2, /GL, /PGO). We also track these across multiple CPU models. (Yes, this is quite a big matrix. Look for an upcoming blog post from the QA team to learn more.)
We're pretty excited about the improvements we made for this release in code quality. (Read Ten's recent post about it here) As I looked at the numbers, one thing jumped out at me: To really take advantage of these improvements, applications need to be compiled with /GL, and PGO, if possible.
If you aren't familiar with PGO, you can read Lawrence's blog post on Profile Guided Optimization here.
I've summarized some of our data comparing VS2010 Beta2 with VS2008 SP1.0. Here is a comparison between integer benchmark performance with various switches on x86 and x64:
These particular graphs are based on a benchmark suite similar to SPEC CPU 2006. But our benchmarks include real world code as well. We build and measure performance of many Microsoft products, including SQL, Windows and Office.
Let's say you currently build release builds with the /O2 switch in VS2008. If you moved to VS2010, you might see on x64:
· 10% faster code if you turned on /GL,
· 16% faster code if you turned on /GL and PGO
and on x86,
· 7% faster code if you turned on /GL,
· 13% faster code if you turned on /GL and PGO.
Now, for the last couple of releases, a new VC++ project will have /GL on for release builds. However, settings for upgraded projects are not changed. So whether you use the Visual Studio build system or your own custom build system, go ahead and check that you are specifying /GL for your release builds!
The other recommendation I have is to use PGO. Doing so requires a larger investment (it requires you to figure out scenarios and create training data) – but it can improve the performance of your app above and beyond /GL. PGO works best on medium or larger applications. Small applications may see little benefit from PGO, depending on the application's workload.
We recently created training data and turned on PGO for part of the C++ intellisense engine in Visual Studio 2010 and saw ~25% better performance on some scenarios. When we turned on PGO for the compiler, we measured ~10% speedup in compiler throughput. Again, you can learn about how to turn on PGO in your own builds in Lawrence's blog post here.
/GL shouldn't increase your build time significantly, but note that /GL is not compatible with Edit and Continue (/ZI) and incremental builds (the linker option /INCREMENTAL). You can read some quick tips about /GL in another previous blog post here.
As Lawrence describes in his blog post, with PGO your application is built twice – once for the instrumented build and once for the final optimized build. This means build times increase more significantly, as but as I've noted above, the performance increase is also more significant.
So, if your application is CPU bound, I hope that these numbers will convince you to take a second look at your release build settings and turn on /GL and PGO!
Those graphs are very misleading. Note the squiggle on the x-axis.
I'd say that the text is misleading as well. The way I read the charts is that LTCG without PGO is not worth it, as it only gives about 2.5% on x86 and 1% on x64 compared to a non-LTCG build on the same compiler. This has been my experience as well and is the reason I always end up turning off LTCG, because the very small performance increase is not worth the rather large increase in build time, which hits hard if you are doing continuous builds. I think when we looked at it, /GL caused our compile+link time to skyrocket from about 20 minutes to 45 minutes.
LTCG with PGO looks slightly more advantageous -- about 9% -- but with an even greater hit to build time and the added hassle of creating and managing the profile data, it looks even less palatable to me than plain /GL.
First off, if your application is not CPU intensive, generated code quality will have little impact on overall performance. If your app spends all it's time waiting on IO operations or other OS operations, LTCG and PGO will have marginal benefit. Profiling your application is always a must in order to understand what needs to be optimized.
But if your app is CPU intensive, then these compiler options are worth looking at.
/GL (aka LTCG aka Link Time Code Generation) enables, among other things, much better inlining across the whole program. Code that is written with many very small functions that get called often will see great improvements from using /GL.
PGO is all about hot\cold code separation. So large programs that have lots of control flow, with lots of error handling code, will see the best benefit.
Phaeron, I'm happy you guys tried the feature and did your own performance analysis. I hope other people take the time to do that analysis and see if these options provide additional performance for their applications. These flags do require more compile time, and they also make code harder to debug. Many customers choose to do day-to-day development using /Od, which compiles very quickly and provides the best debugging experience, but generates very poor code quality. Later in the cycle, when most development is complete, then they turn on more optimizations to ship the best performing application possible. This is again not appropriate in all cases, but a commonly used practice to reduce the development time.
Andre Vachon

C++ compiler
Agreed with Phaeron, the text is misleading. Please, treat your customers with just a minimum of respect, write something honest, rather than trying to make your product look better than it is. (Especially since your product is actually pretty decent already, it doesn't need to be wrapped in misleading statements) Leave that to the marketing people.
If you want to tell us that "VC10 generates really good code", then compare *the same flags* for VC9 and VC10. Saying "VC10 with all optimizations enabled is faster than VC9 without optimizations" is not news. It's not impressive. It's so goddamn obvious it makes me wonder what you're trying to hide.
I'm sure what you meant to say instead, which would be honest, was:
Let's say you currently build release builds with VS2008. If you moved to VS2010, you might see on x64:
· 8% faster code with just /O2,
· 9% faster code if you use /GL,
· 8% faster code if use /GL and PGO
· 4% faster code with just /O2,
· 5% faster code if you use /GL,
· 2% faster code if you use /GL and PGO.
The silly thing is that these numbers are still pretty respectable. So why couldn't you just give us those, rather than faking some ridiculously high numbers by comparing VC9 with few optimizations against VC10 with everything enabled?
Of course, if the point of the post was instead to convince us that /GL and PGO are awesome optimization settings, then compare apples to apples, and show us that by listing the numbers for *one* compiler, not by comparing VC9 vs VC10.
Faster in SPEC-like code is nice (Intel always manages to get its compiler to do that well, even if it cheats to do it). If my code ran CPUs up 100%, all the time, then I can see this being useful for more than marketing. Alas, my code runs CPUs about 1% typically. Making that even twice as fast (100% faster) wouldn't amount to anything anyone would notice. A better UI would be much more welcome, but I suppose you don't do UI. The VS UI needs to be thrown out and started from scratch. I don't mean the nuts and bolts that hold it together, but the whole concept of how it works. Start that over.
Well, I never trust exact figures for these kinds of tests because they are system dependent. But the biggest thing that they are saying is that they have been spending time improving their code quality and things like that are always welcome.
@jalf: If you notice the graphs show
This is a bit of a stretch but it does show somewhat that they gave data for like builds. I too would have preferred that they give the full compiler/linker command lines but I'm sure if we nag enough they will give them.
Remember that the VC compiler team has nothing to do with the VS IDE.
What I'm more interested in is the size of compiled code, especially for ARM processors.
We do actively track code size as part of our metrics, but smaller code is not always faster.
Seperating hot code from code code (which is what PGO does) can drastically reduce working set, even if raw code size grows in certain cases.
Making very hot code larger - possibly by unrolling loops - can often lead to faster execution at the cost of slightly larger code.
These are unfortunately all trade offs the compiler must make at code generation time. By using PGO, the compiler can rely on real profile information to make the best possible code generation decision.
Visual Studio 2010 does not include an ARM targeting compiler.
-Andre Vachon
C++ Compiler
>> "Visual Studio 2010 does not include an ARM targeting compiler."
Does this mean no Windows CE support in Visual Studio 2010?
Did these tests include math or array intensive processing such as image processing, numerical analysis, etc?
These two links tell you the contents of the SPEC benchmarks
That is correct. There is no WinCE support in Visual Studio 2010.
Visual Studio 2008 SP1 is the platform for CE7 development
I'm developing a CPU intensive program, so the performance advances would be more than welcome.
However, turning just /GL on on VC9 SP1 makes it die of internal error (submitted bug, heard nothing back). Without /GL the compiler or linker has never crashed.
The debugger and intellisense, however, are crashing left and right. The more difficult bug you are trying to debug, the more crash-happy the debugger will be. Track a bug down for hours and finally just about to nail it - crash. Wrt intellisense, I pretty good at avoiding ctrl-space (at least without ctrl-s first), but I occasionally do it and 50% of the time, it crashes.
Also, if you leave debugger at a breakpoint and go away for few hours (meetings, ugh), when you come back and continue, stop debugging or anything, the whole machine hangs. Occasionally, it comes back after tens of minutes, but often I have to powercycle.
Please, before using man years to optimizing few 1/1000s of the running time, make the damn thing stable. Not everyone codes C#, C++ side of VC it just plain rotten as it is.
(Disclaimer: You can always suspect hardware, but this is ECC memory, and the actual program just about never encounters *unexplainable* crashes. The OS doesn't BSOD either.)
Sorry you had such a bad experienced with VS9 with LTCG. I'd be very interested in hearing about your experience with this feature in VS 2010.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A newspaper is reporting that the new
executive secretary of the Alabama Education Association sends his
children to a private school in Montgomery for its religious
Political observers tell The Gadsden Times that Henry C. Mabry's choice of schools could lead to a public relations problem. But they also say the reason he was hired should outweigh those concerns.
The AEA bills itself as the voice of public school teachers and
Mabry last week was chosen by the AEA board of directors to
succeed retiring AEA Executive Secretary Paul Hubbert pending
successful contract negotiations.
Mabry said the decision to send his children to Holy Cross
Episcopal School is a personal faith issue. He said they are able
to attend chapel, which is not available in public schools.

Review: Minecraft: Story Mode: The Last Place You Look
Nov 24
// Darren Nakamura
Minecraft: Story Mode: The Last Place You Look (iOS, Mac, PC [reviewed], PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One)Developer: Telltale GamesPublisher: Telltale GamesReleased: November 24, 2015 (Mac, PC)MSRP: $4.99, $24.99 (Season Pass)Rig: AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ 3.2 GHz, with 4GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5700, Windows 7 64-bit After having found Ellegaard the redstone engineer and Magnus the griefer in the previous episode, the gang needed only to locate Soren the architect for the full original Order of the Stone to be accounted for. The journey to find Soren takes the party to some peculiar locations, most located in The End. However, since Soren is a master builder, the areas highlighted are more diverse than the typical darkness of The End. Between Soren's feats of engineering in the overworld and colorful constructions in The End, it's a nice nod to Minecraft proper players who are known to build some of the craziest things. Soren himself is a much more likable character than some of the other members of the Order of the Stone. Where Ellegaard and Magnus were basically insufferable (especially after they were brought together), Soren is quirky and at times genuinely funny. Voiced by John Hodgman, he's neurotic and paranoid, but still fun to be around. [embed]321869:61211:0[/embed] Overall, the quality of the writing has taken a half-step up from the previous two episodes. None of the jokes elicited any sustained belly laughs, but I did let out a few snorts and chuckles along the way. The Last Place You Look started up a running gag where Axel falls on top of Lukas repeatedly, which happens just enough to be comical without getting tired. Some of the seeds of drama sown in previous episodes have begun to sprout, and while it still maintains the kid-friendly narrative, it's finally beginning to feel like the events happening matter and Jesse has an important role to play. The greatest success of The Last Place You Look is that it allows the player to feel accomplished while still moving the narrative along. This is, after all, only the third episode in a five-episode season, so anybody who knows Telltale knows everything won't be resolved here. But even so, the climax of this episode feels like a high point for the team. Sure, they're not done with their mission, but they did something, at least. There's never really any downtime during this episode either. Though there are a few sections of walking around and talking or searching for clues, they all serve a purpose and generally lead to action sequences. The first action sequence in particular is probably the best so far in the series, melding the fantastic environments, a sense of danger, and the classic Telltale decision-making into a tight opening credit roll. One thing that might turn some off is the quiet lowering of the bar for success during the action sequences. Some of the quick-time events seem more demanding here than usual, but I noticed after I flubbed a button press or two, the resulting animation didn't seem to react accordingly. Perhaps it takes multiple failures in a single section to make a difference. More experimentation is necessary. As much as I may praise The Last Place You Look, it is with respect to the first two episodes of Minecraft: Story Mode. It definitely is an improvement, but an improvement from mediocrity is just okay. The comedy is slightly improved, but still doesn't hold a candle to that of Tales from the Borderlands. The characters are becoming easier to sympathize with, but they aren't are interesting as those from The Wolf Among Us. The drama is beginning to heat up, but it doesn't come close to what we saw in The Walking Dead. Perhaps it's unfair to compare Minecraft: Story Mode to Telltale's more adult-oriented series. This is built for a particular demographic, and it seems like it's really hitting with that audience. The Last Place You Look is more of the same -- and slightly better, if anything -- so those who have enjoyed the series thus far will be pleased to just keep on trucking. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

Review: Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game Series: The Ice Dragon
Nov 17
// Darren Nakamura
Game of Thrones - A Telltale Game Series: The Ice Dragon (Android, iOS, Mac, PC [reviewed], PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One)Developer: Telltale GamesPublisher: Telltale GamesReleased: November 17, 2015MSRP: $4.99 (episode), $29.99 (season)Rig: AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ 3.2 GHz, with 4GB of RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5700, Windows 7 64-bit The reason I'm being so cavalier with discussing in general terms how my story ended -- spoilers be damned -- is that other players might see things play out quite differently. It took the whole season to make good on the promises that we may shape the future of House Forrester, but The Ice Dragon finally introduces significant divergence. Important characters may live or die, depending on not only the choices presented in this episode, but also on those made earlier. With Asher joining Rodrik and the convergence of those two paths at the end of A Nest of Vipers, more time can be spent on each individual thread. Up north, Gared and company finally make it to the North Grove. Down south, Mira learns who had been conspiring against her. Nestled in the middle of it all is the drama in Ironrath, with the Whitehills mounting up for war against the Forresters. Gared's path is probably the most disappointing of the three. After five episodes wondering what the significance of the North Grove is, I was hoping for a revelation when he finally made it. The main concrete takeaway is that it's important and must be protected, but precisely why is up for debate. [embed]321059:61115:0[/embed] What makes Gared's journey to the North Grove sting so much as a part of the story of the Forresters is that it feels like he made no measurable impact on any other section. The final recap does hint that he might have been a bigger player in the grand scheme if I had made different choices, but my personal Gared could have been cut from the story entirely and it would have made no difference. In contrast, Mira's scheming in King's Landing is at least mentioned by the characters on the home front. She may not have had any concrete effects on the conflict at Ironrath, but her path still feels important in the overall narrative. In Sons of Winter, I was so pleased with myself for winning a war of words as Mira. I was shrewd and calculating, manipulating the situation to get exactly what I wanted. Somewhere along the line I lost that slyness and turned into a softie, and Mira paid for it. I can't say I'm happy with how Mira turns out at the end of this episode, but I don't think I'd be particularly pleased with the possible alternatives either. Of course, the main action is at Ironrath, where the Whitehills have mounted up for war against the Forresters. There were hints in this episode at a possible diplomatic solution, but as Asher and his band of gladiators, battle seemed like the most appropriate option. The climactic scene is probably the most brutal in any Telltale game to date. There was figurative backstabbing followed by literal backstabbing. There was frontstabbing. There was sidestabbing. There was ramming a greatsword into someone's mouth and out the back of his head. Good lord, there was a lot of stabbing. It fits the universe perfectly, in that in one fell swoop a dozen named characters meet their ends, and the whole time I'm watching in horror, muttering obscenities to myself and wishing thing weren't the way they are. Valar morghulis: all men must die; fans of the source are well-versed in that concept, but it hurts more when it's my men dying. There may still be a glimmer of hope for the Forresters, despite being broken, beaten, battered, and beheaded. The finale leaves a few loose ends open (possibly for a second season), but the family as we have known it is done. In a way, I'm almost pleased the story finishes the way it does. In Iron From Ice, I noted the similarities between the Forrester clan and the more famous Starks. I realize now that I modeled my Forresters' behavior after them as well. I fought with honor and I did the right thing, though it eventually spelled my own doom. I can take solace in the moral victory. The Ice Dragon caps off a year of fretting and worrying. Telltale's take on Game of Thrones has been spot-on in that regard. Now that it's over it's almost a relief, even with a bleak end. [This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

Review: Sword Art Online: Lost Song
Nov 13
// Josh Tolentino
Sword Art Online: Lost Song (PS4, PS3, PS Vita [reviewed])Developer: ArtdinkPublisher: Bandai Namco GamesMSRP: $39.99 (Vita), $59.99 (PS4)Released: November 17, 2015 (NA), November 13, 2015 (EU), April 28, 2015 (SEA), March 26, 2015 (JP) [Note: This review is based on the English-language version of Lost Song released in Southeast Asia on April 28, 2015. While there may be some differences between this version and the North American/EU ones, we expect the core experience will be highly similar, if not identical.] Let's not mince words: Like its predecessor Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, Lost Song is meant for existing fans of Sword Art Online (or at least of Hollow Fragment), and few else outside that sphere. In fact, Lost Song's main plot virtually ensures that only those invested Kirito and the gang's adventures and interactions will find fulfillment from the game's narrative. But first, an aside: When it came to the anime and novels, the reason the ALO-set story arcs felt so weak was the overriding sense that the show was treading water. In contrast to original's grand hook of "dying in the game means death for real", the goal of Kirito playing ALO to search for Asuna carried not nearly as much weight. This was exacerbated in the second season, which followed up an excellent murder mystery set in Gun Gale Online with Kirito and his pals literally just doing a raid and some quests in ALO for a nice sword. It came to pass that when ALO was onscreen, Sword Art Online became less about exciting adventures and speculative future game design than essentially watching a bunch of nonexistent Let's Players play a nonexistent game. Lost Song falls afoul of ALO's curse as well, with even its central story afflicted with the same sense of meandering and lack of stakes. Still placed in Hollow Fragment's alternative timeline (which saw the cast stuck in SAO for much longer than in the "canon", and adding characters like Sinon under different circumstances), Lost Song sees Kirito and his posse moving to ALfheim Online right on time for the game to debut "Svart ALfheim", its first expansion, consisting of five massive floating islands. Being the top-class gamers they are, the crew resolves to be the first to burn through it. [embed]318569:61096:0[/embed] The quest for "world-first" (a motivation familiar to anyone who's played an MMO) eventually brings them into conflict with Shamrock, a massive guild run by Seven, an idol/scientist (!) who's taking the opportunity run a big social experiment within ALO. If the whole premise of Lost Song's plot sounds like the kind of inter-guild "drama" that plays out on forums and social media feeds for actual games today, one wouldn't be too far off. This puts the bulk of the game's narrative appeal in the interactions between cast members new and old, told via entertaining Tales of-style vignettes, in-game events, and lengthy personal quests, some of which adapt storylines from the canon like the well-received "Mother's Rosario" arc. In a nice touch, these events are mostly encountered semi-randomly and often without explicit prompting. A minor thing, to be sure, but one that channels the "live" qualities of MMO play, where impromptu encounters and stories grow even against otherwise static environs and content. Ultimately, though, those invested in seeing the characters of Sword Art Online again, sporting their ALO-styled redesigns and touting long-running in-jokes, will get their fill, but players seeking epic adventure or the kind of JRPG saga that ends with the heroes saving the world will come away disappointed. It doesn't help, either, that Lost Song doesn't work very hard to introduce players to the characters themselves. In some ways that's to be expected, seeing as this is a sequel to Hollow Fragment and mostly features the same faces (with a few more added), but curious folks who just want to know what the fuss over Sword Art Online is all about would be better served by picking up Re: Hollow Fragment (the "Director's Cut" PS4 port of Hollow Fragment), or just watching the anime. Narrative pitfalls aside, Lost Song is at least less of a slog to play, mechanically, bringing some new, entertaining gimmicks to the table. The combat system ditches the auto-attacks, casting times, and menus of Hollow Fragment for a straightforward, directly-controlled action-RPG setup. Players can string together combos of light and heavy attacks, controlling any three of up to seventeen playable characters (they can even replace Kirito as the leader!), each wielding a number of weapons with signature skills and magic. Special moves and magic can be triggered by combining shoulder and face buttons. New attacks, spells, and passive effects can be unlocked by leveling up their weapon skills through use, and assigning them to preferred button combinations. A Union gauge fills up in battle, and when triggered enables devastating "Switch" attacks involving the whole party. While simpler and arguably less deep than Hollow Fragment, the new system is more engaging and wastes less time. Most low-level foes can be dispatched in seconds, and fighting large bosses rewards mobility and effective use of buffs and debuffs to chop away at their massive, stacked health bars. AI companions fight and support effectively, and need little in the way of handholding unless severely under-leveled. New gear can be found in the field, or bought, identified, and upgraded at Agil and Lisbeth's shops while Side Quests and Extra Quests can be accepted at the hub town's tavern. Side Quests usually fall into the "Kill X number of Y enemy" category, but Extra Quests usually pose an additional challenge, involving big takedowns of one or more boss-class foes for better rewards. And then there's the flying. Being a fairy-themed game, ALO plants wings on all its characters to enable long-distance travel and a level of verticality rarely embraced in the RPG space. Lost Song gladly obliges, featuring huge, open-world maps populated by roaming enemies and dotted with dungeons at varying altitudes. Players can switch from running on the ground to hovering to racing through the air with a flick of the D-pad. While a bit fiddly at first, this mobility quickly becomes second nature and makes a genuine difference when fighting outdoors, as aerial dashes can be used to set up powerful charging attacks, and hovering up high can put safe distances between players and ground-bound foes. Fighting indoors, however, is more of a chore, as most dungeons prohibit flying and often take place against large numbers of enemies spawning in ways that cause the combat camera and lock-on function to freak out unpleasantly. Worse still, the dungeons themselves are so bland and unimaginative that I initially mistook them for being procedurally generated. Having players visit these dungeons in order to progress just hammers home the apathetic level design. And there's even multiplayer, making Lost Song the only Sword Art Online game that's actually, well, online. Local and online play sessions are available, including a PVP versus mode, and team battles against roided-out versions of the single-player bosses. It's an alright option to have, but there's little compelling reason to engage with it. Players can use custom characters, but the customization options are so limited that anything created just resembles the generic NPC characters littering the hub world. For better or worse, Sword Art Online: Lost Song replicates both the highs and lows of its predecessors. Existing fans of the series will find plenty to like in the further adventures of Kirito and his MMO pals, despite a dull main story. The revamped mechanics also support a steady drip-feed of Sword Art Online fan service mainly by not getting in the way too much. Unfortunately, Lost Song stumbles hardest when trying to engage players outside that sphere of pre-existing investment, and in some ways ends up an even less suitable jumping-off point for newbies who want to get in on enjoying the franchise. My advice to those folks would be to watch the anime or try out Hollow Fragment first. If they're still jonesing for some more of this motley crew of irredeemable MMO nerds when they're done, then Lost Song will be music to their ears.

In response to your editorial on Nov. 26, we write to support House Bill 5440 (HB 5440), as amended by Senate Floor Amendment 2, because of the educational benefits it brings and the fairness it provides.
In response to your editorial on Nov. 26 (Our View: Illinois legislators should reject satellite TV tax as unfair), we write to support House Bill 5440, as amended by Senate Floor Amendment 2, because of the educational benefits it brings and the fairness it provides.
The Illinois Science & Technology Coalition has a strong commitment to education in Illinois, particularly as it relates to science, technology and workforce development. House Bill 5440, the Direct Broadcast Satellite Service Providers Fee Act, provides generous support to elementary and secondary education in Illinois by depositing revenues received from the Act into the Education Assistance Fund. This Fund supports myriad educational opportunities throughout the state, especially in disadvantaged communities and for students most in need—where funding is desperately low.
House Bill 5440 helps to level the educational playing field while also leveling the corporate tax playing field. Cable companies and satellite companies do not currently pay the same tax rates while providing essentially the same services to consumers. This Act brings the tax burden of satellite companies in line with those of what cable companies have been paying for years—and it does so to the benefit of education in our state.
At a time when government fees and policies significantly impact the fast-changing world of technology, it is critical that fair and reasonable rules are established that do not favor one segment of a technology industry over another. We support House Bill 5440, the Direct Broadcast Satellite Service Providers Fee Act, because it provides necessary supports to elementary and secondary education, because it serves students who are most in need, and because it provides a fair revenue stream for our state. The approximately $75 million in new revenue raised through House Bill 5440 will help to improve Illinois' educational systems, which is what counts the most in our knowledge-based global economy.

Love this Bed!
I was nervous at first bc of the mixed reviews I read on here but honestly this bed turned out perfect! It did take some patience putting together but was so worth it!Read More
BEST PURCHASE EVER. Looks 10x the cost and stunning!Read More
Great price, looks good, fairly sturdy
Assembly was pretty easy, though the top two bars going across the bed gave us trouble. Either the holes were drilled wrong, or the instructions were misleading.. but we ended up installing the bars on top of the curved connectors, because that was the only way we could get the poles to stay and not fall down on us with the slightest bump to the frame! So, now those two pulls are not super stable due to the fact that they are resting on top of the curved piece (curved the wrong way). Fortunately they don't rattle. The rest of the frame is sturdy, and was straight forward to assemble. Definitely will want two people for it! As others have mentioned, the plastic knobs for the tops are very cheap and cheesy, but since they are dark, and high up, they are not too noticeable. But, just would be nice to have higher quality pieces there. For what it is, it was a great price for us, especially for a king size.Read More
Great for the price
This bed has held up very well. If you wanted to- you could replace the fabric on the headboard without much difficulty.Read More
I was a bit weary of ordering this as it did not have many reviews, but I'm so glad I took the risk. This bed looks amazing in my Master Bedroom. I wish I could post a picture, because once this bed is fully dressed with linens it really comes to life! The upholstered portion of the headboard is screwed on, if you want to change the fabric to something that better matches you decor, it will be really easy to do. A previous review complained that the knobs on the top were rubber....they are. That being said, you cant notice that AT ALL once they are on. I never post reviews but this bed it truly beautiful!Read More
You Get What You Pay For!
I was excited to get a canopy bed for such a good price but when I received it, we realized the finish and quality was inexpensive looking. Knobs on the top of each post do not fit and are plastic. Disappointed. The assembly was reasonable. All parts were included and instructions were good. Wish the quality of materials was better and the bolts were less obvious.Read More
King canopy bed
I bought this as a present to myself. I had been looking at metal beds, padded headboards and really wanted a canopy. I found all three in this bed! Yes, it took some time to put together and the round toppers are plastic, but I figured I am the only one who knows that! I also liked the fact that I can take the headboard off and recover it - without taking the whole bed apart.Read More
Love this bed
This bed is a super deal! It took two of us several hours to put together and we have put together lots of things. We couldn't figure out what the directions meant when it stated that the headboard should be "smooth side up" as both sides seemed to be smooth. Only after we had it together did we see 2 small holes in the side we had installed "up" . My husband said we are not taking it apart to change it and it is so minor that it is really not noticeable. If you want to hang drapery from this they need to have ties as the canopy bars do not come off and on (I found nice faux linen drapes on O). I subtracted a star from quality as there is already a scratch in the paint at the foot of the bed. This is in a beach rental property and has only been used one week. I can touch it up but wonder what it will look like at the end of the summer.Read More
great bed but some assembly glitches
I got the bed in 2 large boxes via FedEx and one of them was pretty torn up. I'm talking about both sides ripped wide open and dings along the length of the package. Luckily nothing had fallen out and the pieces were well wrapped in plastic with foam in between them, so they were not damaged in transport. There were some small scratches on the frame that must have been there before packing but nothing that can't be touched up with a black sharpie. You definitely need a second person to put this bed together, since the pieces are so large but it's pretty easy and the instructions are clear EXCEPT for the short bars that are supposed to go across the top of the headboard and the bottom part. There are pieces with holes in them on the vertical poles and the cross bars are supposed to be screwed underneath those. Problem was that the holes in the bars are MUCH bigger than the screws provided and the darn bar would just fall down. Not sure who designed this but an easy way around the issue is to just slide the cross bars over those little metal pieces on the poles and forgetting about those 2 screws they provided. The bed looks great once put together and it's sturdier than I thought it would be. Definitely a good buy for XXX bucks.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello OstkUser46232, we do apologize, we do not currently offer the posts separately. Thank you for shopping with us.
Is it possible to get another copy of the assembly instructions? I need to take the bed apart to move it and am worried I won't be able to assemble again without instructions.
Hello iskellythere, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Why did you choose this product?
I like the style.
Because it looks versatile and would suit many styles. I intend to drape a canopy curtain over it.
sleek, modern look
What is the diameter of the rods?
Hello jcw14, I hope your day is going well. I measured the rods that make up the corners and they are 1 1/4 inch in diameter.
Incase the headboard fabric gets dirty is it easy to reupholster? Yes I know you don't recommend because it won't be under warranty but, is the area where the fabric is separate incase I need to recover? Thank you
Hello tanya88, I hope your day is going well. I apologize for the delay. The headboard should only be spot cleaned. I am sure you know this but just in case, the fabric is polyester so use a professional cleaner if soap and water don't remove the stain. You check a hidden area to see that the cleaner doesn't do something worse than the stain. The head board is attached by screws so it can be removed and reupholstered. I hope this helps and thank you for shopping with us.
Hi, what is the measurement from where the box spring would sit on (the part that supports the box spring) to the top of the upholstered headboard? Thank you
Hello tanya88, This bed is so beautiful! The measurement from the support to the top of the headboard is approximately 24 inches. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
I have a narrow stair case to the 2nd floor where the master bedroom is, and don't think I can take any pre-assembled parts that are rectangular. Is the headboard or the footboard pre-assembled to hold itself like a rectangular shape, or do all segments come as rods for me to connect to one another? What is the size of the shipping container/box? If there is a link to assembly instructions, I would find it very helpful. Thank you.
Hi johnkim67, the bed ships in 2 boxes. The dimensions of the boxes are 81"L x 27.5"W x 5.25"H & 90.25"L x 14.25"W x 6.25"H. If you have trouble getting the boxes upstairs. The headboard is probably the biggest part at about 76"W x 22.5"H. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Hi! What is the distance between the base of the bed (the rail that would support the bottom of a box spring) and the bottom of the headboard?Trying to figure out the minimum combined height of mattress/box spring needed to make sure that there is no gap showing below the headboard. Thanks!
Thank you for shopping with us ajrls. The distance is just over 16 inches. Have a great day.
What is the dimesion of the distance from the top of the upholseterd piece to the floor?
Hi jenniferflower, the headboard is 31 inches from the ground. Thanks for shopping with us.
what are the dimensions of the headboard?
Thank you again vtw10538 for the question about the Lauren King Metal Canopy Bed. The head board dimensions are 80" wide X 24" tall secured to the frame. Thank you again for the question and thank you for shopping Overstock.com.
I have a question regarding the headboard -- is it sturdy? solid? Can you lean against the headboard while sitting up in bed?
Thank you vtw10538 for the question about the Lauren King Metal Canopy Bed. If you look at the last picture and then zoom in on it you can see that there are two nuts and bolts holding the headboard securely to the rest of the frame of the bed so yes it would be very sturdy to lean against. Thank you again for the question and thank you for shopping Overstock.com.
Hi There - can the bed be assembled without the canopy - that is, just with the headboard poles and base?
Hi elquent, unfortunately not, the canopy poles are what hold the entire bed together. Thanks for your interest, hope this helps!
will this work with a California king bed?
Hello lesley19. Thank you for your question regarding the Lauren King Metal Canopy Bed. No, this frame will only work with an Eastern King size box spring and mattress. California Kings are too long and too narrow to fit. I hope this answer helps you, thanks for shopping with us.
I udnerstand this product requires a king box spring. I have a split king box spring, i.e., it is split into two pieces. Can the split king box spring be used on this product?
Hello ajschultz. Thank you for your question regarding the Lauren King Metal Canopy Bed. You should be able to use a split box spring with this frame, as long as it is king size. I hope this answer helps you, thanks for shopping with us.
we used a split King box spring and it was fine
Is the frame hollow or solid tubing? Are there some kind of cover or padding on the fame supports so as not to damage flooring?
Thank you for your question beartf. The frame is hollow and has a plastic tip so it will not damage the flooring. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Is this a sturdy frame that does not "wobble"?
Thank you for your question. When assembled correctly this bed is sturdy. Have a great day!
What are the dimensions of the shipping boxes?
Thank you for the question. The bed comes in two boxes. The dimensions are:80 1/2 L x 27 W x 5 H and 90 L x 14 W x 6 1/2 H. These are in inches.
What is the maximum weight limit for on this bed?
Unfortunately we were unable to determine the max weight limit for each bed. I apoloigze about that inconvenience tested at 500 pounds
Can the headboard be reupholstered?
Yes it could be.
Can this bed be used with an electric adjustable boxspring and mattress?
This bed frame is intended for use with a King-size box springs and mattress only.

Triple diamond shine for a sparkling glamorous style. A multifaceted complex that is especially designed to provide ultra shine with luscious body, light conditioning, and heat protection.
I tried this out on half of my head and another heat protectant on the other while straightening, just so I could compare. I really liked the way this one worked, and it gave my hair a subtle shine. Plus it smells great.
Love the silicones when I am in a frizz emergency. This one wasn't too oily feeling and absorbed quickly. Great shine and control.

markets have been jittery as the prospect of a military clash

sanctions if the crisis continues to escalate.

Evening All,
Had a very pleasant trip to Talacre beach last night with some ace company, gorgeous weather & forehead sunburn. The sky certainly didnt let us down.
This was one of the last shots taken, I love the sky and the fact I just managed to get the moon in the shot too.
It is a 3 shot bracketed exposure, tone mapped in photomatix, and desaturated (believe it or not )
I have plenty of shots from last night, but I really like this one, although it goes against the grain when it comes to the rule of thirds etc, but this one for me is all about the sky and lighthouse.
Please let me know what you think, any comments much appreciated, have a look large if you have a mo.....
Thanks for looking

Very effective shot, love the colours in the sky.
If you had got down lower could you have got a closer view of the patterns in the sand?

Thanks guys, Ian the sky last night was something else wasnt it. Tim, I have got quite a few shots with foreground detail, such as sand ripples, I just really liked this one, for the sky and central composition, more to follow

Claire, Thanks for the comment I agree about the moon, I havent progressed to moving things in PS yet and thanks also to Jouko and Dave for your comments and clicks, hugely appreciated

fantastic sky, the cloud formations justify the decision to place the light house in a central position.
i would suggest cloning out the moon which pulls the eye up to the corner, and if it were mine i would crop off some of the btm to make a letterbox shape and concentrate the attention on that wonderful sky.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks richard, and thanks Phil, I have uploaded a variant taking into consideration what you said, and I agree, although the moon was a nice touch, it is far too close to the edge and I was thinking about taking some of the bottom off before I uploaded the first one, and it works, thanks for the tipsLast Modified By MarkBroughton at 9 Jun 2008 - 9:51 PM
Nominating Constructive Critique
Sorry Mark, but the composition here just doesn't do it for me (your last upload is far and away the better shot). The central position of the LH just dominates and there is a critical paradox between it and the sky - i.e. what do I look at? The comments on the moon etc are good - a much more radical letterbox is needed. I'll add a mod - but it won't change the central problem. On the positive the exposure is good and your processing is also good.
It was a cracking sunset though wasn't it!
Nominating Constructive Critique
Hi Adam, It certainly was a cracking sunset, I see where you are coming from with your critique, this was very much a self indulgent upload because I like it and it came out as I wanted it to.

Photos of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart at Bobby Long Concert in Vancouver
Robert and Kristen Share More Intimate Concert Time in Vancouver
Our requests for Robert Pattinson to come out of hiding have been answered — he joined Kristen Stewart, Nikki Reed, and Elizabeth Reaser out last night at Bobby Long's concert in Vancouver. Robert and Kristen slipped out together after enjoying the show, decked out in their usual hoodies. Most of the Eclipse cast was seen out in Vancouver or LA over the long weekend, but Robert managed to stay under cover until last night.
