PROS / The warranty on this leaf blower lasts for seven years.
CONS / The test unit we received didn't come with instructions.
VERDICT / This lightweight, gas-powered leaf produces adequate results if you have a small yard. It's noisy and only has basic features, but there is excellent support and a long warranty attached to this model.
The Hitachi RB24EAP is a compact gas-powered leaf blower. Weighing only 8.6 pounds, this machine is light enough for most people to use around the yard. The two-stroke engine has a power displacement of 23.9 cubic centimeters. This blower is compact, but it pushes 441 cubic feet of air through its tapered nozzle. The air from this nozzle moves at a velocity of 170 mph. This is a low speed compared to other models like it, but a small blower works best for a small yard.
Noise level is a serious issue for leaf blowers, including the Hitachi RB24EAP. When we measured the Hitachi's noise level, the leaf blower hit 96.7 decibels, about the same noise level as the average lawn mower. Prolonged noises over 95 decibels can damage your hearing if you don't use earplugs or earmuffs.
We were surprised to see this blower packaged without instructions. This made testing difficult. Thankfully, this leaf blower is light, basic and easy to maneuver. The Hitachi gas-powered leaf blower blew our test debris 18 feet in 16.54 seconds. The lightweight body of this Hitachi contributes to its easy handling. When you need to put the blower down, it has an auto-return switch that resets ON button so the blower starts quickly when you return.
While we weren't happy about the missing owner's manual, the seven-year consumer warranty is admittedly impressive. Like most warranties, any negligence, improper use or incorrect fuel mixture voids this agreement. In terms of other support, you can check the website's FAQs section or contact Hitachi by phone or email.
This model sports a low emission engine with a fuel tank capacity of 17.6 fluid ounces. Like many similar gas-powered leaf blowers, this Hitachi model has specific needs for the type of fuel it uses. Before running the machine, be sure you've used a proper 50:1 ratio mix of oil to gas. The Hitachi manual recommends you use 89-octane gasoline, a mix found at almost any local gas station.
Unfortunately, eco-friendly ethanol isn't compatible with this yard tool. However, there are measures the company has taken to reduce pollution. This Hitachi model is CARB Tier 3 Compliant. While that doesn't mean this leaf blower doesn't produce emissions, it complies with EPA standards to limit hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides in the air.
The Hitachi RB24EAP is compact and easy to carry. Its lightweight body and shoulder strap help you maneuver around your yard easily. However, this gas-powered leaf blower doesn't blow over other products in the lineup. In our tests, it produced acceptable results if you have a small yard, but it might not be as useful if you have a large yard. In addition, it's loud and simplistic, but the long warranty attached to this model is useful.

Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Souichiro Nagi (Tenjo Tenge)

Edward and Souichiro I would've agreed with, but I'd rather include Bo Bobo in this situation.
Should have known better- if there's luck involved in a game, Naruto wins. Period.
That is actually funny!
Hahaha, this is hilarious! Great job
lol love all three but souichiro is hottest
Knowing Ed, he'd transmute his automail arm into a sword.
hahahahahahahaha cool
You should add Vash from Trigun in there. xP
wuau what moment funny of naruto ed and nagi is fantastic one great work congraluations friend naruto wins
Cool idea.
All blonds; kick ass sheos; long cloaks; and erratic behavior!
Naruto win XD
they're in a Mexican stand off
Instant win.
It would be funny if you had Souichiro or Ed have 'paper' instead of both benig 'scissors', so this way no one wins.

The mother of a Newtown, Connecticut, shooting victim is making a deeply personal plea from the White House for all Americans to take action on gun violence.
Francine Wheeler's 6-year-old son, Ben, was killed inside Sandy Hook Elementary School. She's stepping in for President Barack Obama to deliver the president's weekly radio and Internet address. She is the first person to deliver the address other than Obama or Vice President Joe Biden since the two took office in 2009.
Wheeler says thousands of families are drowning in her family's grief and asks for help to do something, in her words, "before our tragedy becomes your tragedy."

After sampling roughly 20 different cupcakes at a contest held at the OC Fair Saturday, you'd think I'd leave the event in a lovely sugar-induced coma.
Instead, I felt sick.
[caption id="attachment_70409" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Cupcake Queen? Andrew English takes youth prize."][/caption]
And, I was not alone.
My fellow judges and I could be heard muttering the same phrases under our breath as we faced 70 cupcake entries at the fair's OC Cupcake Classic:� "I'm going to puke." "This is it. I can't taste anymore." "Am I green yet?"
Though we split the tasting duties, the judging still required each of us to sample anywhere from 16 to 20 cupcakes in front of an audience.
Despite the indigestion, we sure had fun.
I was joined by� Monica Serratos, owner/founder of Two Parts Sugar in Costa Mesa, Babette Pepaj of Bake Space in Los Angeles and Orange County cupcake aficionado and blogger Elise Wallace -- also known as The Cupcake Activist on Twitter.
Personally, I tasted many dry duds -- giving me a true appreciation for the art of cupcake making. Serratos, who recently appeared on Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" show, said she encountered a bit too many dry cakes.
[caption id="attachment_70403" align="alignright" width="150" caption="Best of Show"][/caption]
Still, a few delights stuck out like the very simple Chocolate Chip Cupcake with� chocolate frosting.� � It came� stuffed with chewy chunks of chocolate chips.� � It was like biting into a cupcake version of Chocolate Chip cookie dough.� I also liked the Orange Creamsicle cupcakes I tasted.
In the end, Best of Show went to Desirea Moser for her Lemon Cupcakes.� The moist treat came topped with a beautiful swirl of neon yellow frosting that shimmered in the light.
The red and white checkerboard paper cup it came in was a delightful� touch.
Of the top amateur cupcakes we ranked, the judges unanimously agreed that the� lemon treat was the best looking and tasting cupcake of the bunch.
In the youth category, first-time cupcake maker Andrew English took Best of Show for his Lime and Coconut cupcake. The Newport Beach boy said he made "a mess" of his kitchen to make the winning cupcake.
And his secret?
"We just mixed it all up," he said.

The hb was 145 and I just broke down into tears. This is really happening and I still can't seem to comprehend it. I told my mom and she even replied "wow, this is really happening".
I'm not upset or anything like that, just seems too rediculous to comprehend. Like wh3n my grandma died it took 2 months for it to really hit me because it was such a freak way. She had acid reflux and basically threw up a little in her mouth in her sleep and drowned. Completely healthy and fit woman. I guess I just have a hard time grasping unexpected even. And believing them.
Ok lol im done...this became a huge ramble lol.

Everything was absolutely brilliant. Trip was very well run and plenty of experts on hand to help with the snuba experience etc well worth the money and cheaper to book in advnce with Viator than if you waited until you got there!
August 2011
Nice trip, the only hiccup was collection at hotel reception, beside that, we had a lot of fun :)
April 2011
This was the best part of our trip...snuba diving was amazing, boats were fun but could've lasted longer, altogether worth doing again

Great excursion!!!! Staff was very friendly and everything was well organized. The only thing we did not like is the small speedboat drive: you do not discover anything as we thought we were going to do. You just drive back and force in circle for 15 minutes. Snuba diving is a must do and it was a great experience.
February 2015
Lots of fun! SNUBA was unique, interesting experience. Lots of time in the water. Friendly staff. Speedboats fun too, a little old but work just fine.
June 2014
Wonderful time! Snuba instructors were delightful!
June 2013
Not enough explanation on Snuba
April 2012
We had a wonderful time on this excursion. The only criticisms I would have is that the snuba part was mostly a photo opportunity and we didn't really get to explore while we were down below. We loved our guide Martin! He was terrific! The reef is a little 'dead' but we were going more for the experience and the experience with snuba, in the speedboat and snorkeling was terrific!

Twins' Perkins needs 2nd MRI
Updated: August 12, 2009, 7:27 PM ETAssociated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Twins left-hander Glen Perkins will have a second MRI exam on his troublesome left shoulder.
Manager Ron Gardenhire said Wednesday that Perkins will have dye injected into his shoulder before the exam in hopes of determining more precisely what is wrong. His first MRI exam on Tuesday came back inconclusive.
Perkins, who was 6-7 with a 5.89 ERA, was placed on the disabled list retroactive to Aug. 9.
He was replaced on the roster by right-hander Jeff Manship, ...

Amazing XMen 1 page 5 by EdMcGuinnessWatch
©2013-2016 EdMcGuinness
pencils from the book since it's...Nightcrawler is hands down my favorite character!
those eyes popping out had me laughing
YOU ARE SERIOUSLY ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ARTISTS ED!!! Your style is super dynamic and iconic as well. Anytime I see a new cover from you I get excited. You continue to inspire me to become a better artist with each piece.
I would have to say my all time favorite part about you though, is that you are a fellow believer. God bless you man! Keep rock'n the comic industry with your awesomeness!
Ain't nearly as good but I made my own version of this pose. You're an absolutely sick artist, I must say!
Mine too !! AWESOME
Really looking forward to this book. So. Nightcrawler is going old-school with the costume, eh?
Mind if I ink this?
Thank you so much for the amazing issue! It was beautiful, I really enjoyed it and I can't wait for the next one! <3
A little late, but I just wanted to say I loved this issue, and your art in it was a big part of that. It was great fun, and I loved that you brought it back closer to the old Dave Cockrum design, (and Jason Aaron bringing back the fun Kurt in his personality!), but with some of that Alan Davis fluidity, gorgeous, Nightcrawler at his best. It was almost like reading an issue of Excalibur, which is to this day one of my all time favoite comic books.
Doing it quite well there Ed! Very cool images of the crawler in the Night.
Woww! xP
The book was kick ass Ed!
I'm stoked that this character is making a comeback!
No one ever expects the third sword.
That fight scene was fun to look at
I really like how your figures go out of the panel at the bottom. That's great!
Love it! Really fantastic Nightcrawler. Dig the pirates as well.
Really love this! Brings me back to the brilliant days of Dave Cockrum. Hoping you get to have fun with the character like he did.
My second favorite...but since you're drawing my all-time favorite with this cast too, all the better.
And damn...you nailed the dramatic shadows on Kurt's face.
And damn...you nailed the dramatic shadows on Kurt's face.
I love the Imp! He and Colossus are my favs of the X-Men. I was really sad to see his death. I am glad that he seems to be making a come back though!
Damn what a gorgeous page... nothing is superfluous... everything is exactly what is needed for the story to flow... so many pencillers put in so much extra details just for the sake of a "look what I can do" effect.
I know that you would never give up Dexter as your inker, and I don't blame you, he is a perfect match for you, but would you mind if I downloaded this and inked over it as a sample? I want to see how much fun Dexter has
He's my second favorite!
I love the Gesture drawing in this
You totally made him look badass
So good to have you drawing the blue elf again!
Just finished reading the issue this is from. I'm excited to see your work, and Nightcrawler too!
I was so excited when I saw this on the rack. Nightcrawler is my favorite X-Man, and you're one of my favorite artists and easily an influence in my work. I got two copies. One sketch cover and one regular cover.

Bird Banding at SUNY Oswego's Rice Creek Field Station has been a regular fall, spring and occasional summer event since the fall of 2007. Master bird bander Jim Keefer, a SUNY Oswego alumnus, volunteers to conduct this bird population ecology research and teach others about resident and migrating birds in our area. Visitors are welcome to observe and encouraged to help with the banding, often having hands-on experience with the birds during the process. Enjoy the bird banding video from the summer of 2009.
The banding schedule varies due to weather, bird habits and Jim's activities. As of October 2011, over 1000 birds have been banded at Rice Creek since the fall of 2007.

The city of Bethel has tightened its rules on nepotism.
KYUK reports the city council on Tuesday strengthened its definition of "immediate family" members and rules for their work in city government.
Previously, nepotism rules only applied to people related by blood or marriage.
But now, immediate family members include domestic partners, significant others, stepchildren and stepparents.
The new rules also prohibit the city manager from having an immediate family member working for the city, among other provisions.
The changes come a month after the council fire City Manager Lee Foley after he acknowledged violating city procurement and nepotism rules.

Chogyam Trungpa

The Slow BurnBernie Flynn, a longtime student of Chögyam Trungpa, recently told me about the time he and the Rinpoche tried to quit smoking cigarettes. A few days in, he was driving the Rinpoche to a meeting. Antsy and in withdrawal, Bernie couldn't help but notice his teacher sitting calmly in the passenger seat. Finally, his nerves on edge, Bernie turned to Trungpa and asked how the whole quitting thing was going. "It's easy," said Trungpa. "Either you smoke, or you don't smoke." Ah, so simple. Later that evening, Bernie entered a room to find the Rinpoche gleefully chain smoking. Oh, not so simple. More »

Dancing with LifeChogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, from Work, Sex, Money: Real Life on the Path of Mindfulness, In working with others, the approach of genuine spirituality is to just do it, just help. If you are relating to others unskillfully, you'll be pushed back. A direct message is always there. If you are relating with things directly, there will be direct messages coming toward you automatically. It happens on the spot. This could be called genuine mystical experience. More »
Fearless SurmangWhen you are frightened by something, you have to relate with fear, explore why you are frightened, and develop some sense of conviction. You can actually look at fear. Then fear ceases to be the dominant situation that is going to defeat you. Fear can be conquered. You can be free from fear if you realize that fear is not the ogre. You can step on fear, and therefore, you can attain what is known as fearlessness. But that requires that, when you see fear, you smile. -Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche The word Surmang both refers to a region of eastern Tibet as well as a group of monasteries of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism within that region. The traditional seat of the Trungpa tulkus, Surmang has been the home of countless dedicated practitioners and advanced Vajrayana masters. More »

Buddhist Teachers on FacebookA 10-second history of the internet: First, there was a Big Bang (millions of individual little websites spewing out randomly into a vast virtual cosmos) followed by a Big Crunch (everybody slamming together onto social networking sites) then evolution (various websites fighting for survival and the top spot in a brutal Darwinian mess).

A fixed height or modular extension pole attached to a powder-actuated tool can reduce the risk of serious shoulder, arm, and hand injuries.
An extension pole for power-actuated tools is an engineering control that can reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) from overhead work. It is a fixed height or modular extension pole attached to a powder-actuated tool.
You work with your arms above your shoulders, an awkward position that may cause sore muscles and joints. Sometimes you have to hold this diffcult position for a long time, or repeat the position over and over during your shift. This can cause fatigue and eventually lead to arm and shoulder problems like bursitis or rotator cuff tendonitis.
Working with your arms above your shoulders is an awkward position that may cause sore muscles and joints, result in hand, arm and shoulder injuries, and lead to arm and shoulder problems like bursitis or rotator cuff tendonitis.
Using an extension pole when using a powder-actuated tool for overhead work lets the worker keep a more neutral body posture and reduces the risk of injury because you no longer need to raise your arms above your shoulders and hold them there to work on the ceiling.
The extension lets you keep a more neutral body posture. Your arms are closer to your body and below your shoulders. This cuts down on the risk of injury to your shoulders, arms, and hands. There is also less recoil shock directed to your shoulders and neck. In addition, you can work on the ground rather than using a ladder, scaffold, or lift.
Productivity may improve when there is less setup time using the tool extension, because there are no are no ladders, scaffolds, or lifts needed.

This product is no longer maintained by its only developer. Distro builders, please consider Kino 'end of life' product and do not include it in your distros.

Centrallo is a List-Lover's Haven [Interview]
A lot of times, us list makers find ourselves much more disorganized than we intended. Our process usually involves notebooks and sticky notes, lost lists and the overwhelming inability to identify where to start. Centrallo is an app that not only centralizes all your lists in one place, but it also helps you identify your priorities.
Centrallo is available across all your devices, so you can access it from anywhere. It's basically a list-lover's dream, giving you the ability to make lists within lists, and import photos, videos, links, voice notes, and contacts.
We spoke to Centrallo's founder Michael Sher about the app and why it's the only list-making app you'll need.

Obamacare will thus ratchet up the federal welfare spending that already produces many financial incentives to remain single. These include the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), housing benefits, food stamps, child support enforcement, and the entire Great Society welfare apparatus.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously and accurately explained the disastrous results of welfare back in 1965. The welfare system created a matriarchy with millions of children lacking their father in the home.
It's no wonder illegitimate birthrates are soaring and unmarried mothers now give birth to four out of every 10 babies born in the United States. Prior to 1970, most unmarried mothers were teenagers, but by 2007 women in their 20s had 60 percent of all babies born out of wedlock, and women over age 30 had another 17 percent.
Means-tested welfare programs already cost taxpayers close to $1 trillion a year (twice as much as national defense and nearly the size of the federal deficit), and Obamacare is projected to add another $2.5 trillion after all its provisions take effect. There's no end in sight to the increasing costs of these entitlements.
Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, a liberal firm that consults for clients such as Bill Clinton and John Kerry, admitted, "Unmarried women represent one of the most reliable Democratic cohorts in the electorate ... leading the charge for fundamental change in health care."
It used to be that a husband was responsible for the financial support of his wife and children, but the feminists' agenda calls for replacing husbands with Big Brother Government. The feminists call their movement "women's liberation," and Obamacare is one more way to help them achieve their goal.
Feminists keep tightening their control over the social policies of the Democratic Party, and Obamacare will be his third payoff to this group. The first bill Obama signed as president, the Lilly Ledbetter Act, enables women to sue employers years many years after any alleged workplace discrimination (when no one is still alive to defend against allegations), and the second payoff was getting Obama to give the majority of taxpayer-paid stimulus jobs to women even though men have suffered the big majority of job losses in the current recession.

text: I'm with BT Infinity & my actual speeds are typically 45.5/9.5. Well that was before replacing my Billion 7800N with the Asus RT-N66U. My download speeds were unaffected but my uploads dropped by a meg. Initially QoS was on (by default I think) so I turned that off but no change. The bandwidth available had been set as 44/9 - not quite sure how it got that btw. I turned QoS back on - automatic mode - and upped the available bandwidth to 60/12 and my upload speed was back. Turn QoS off & still all good. So it seems that the upload can be affected whether or not QoS is off or on by what it detemined was the available bandwidth. I'm using the latest Merlin firmware - 188.8.131.52.270.24 . LAN transfer speeds seem a bit low with this router compared to by Billion but that's something else to look at.

Meg Whitman
There are 22 comments on the Northern California's Sports Station KHTK - Homepage story from Nov 23, 2010, titled Meg Whitman. In it, Northern California's Sports Station KHTK - Homepage reports that:
The California Nurses Association helped the illegal immigrant former housekeeper of billionaire Meg Whitman make her story public, a revelation that helped sink the gubernatorial hopes of the former eBay chief executive, according to a report published Tuesday in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Northern California's Sports Station KHTK - Homepage.

It had no effect on the election whatsoever.
Mr Whitman did the right thing when she found out about fraud that had been perpetuated against her. When she found out that she had a criminal working for her she fired her. The only other thing she should have done was call the INS to report her criminal housekeeper.
#2 Nov 24, 2010
It was kind of obvious Jerry Brown has something to do with the illegal housekeeper. Like look at Gloria Alring just happens to appear next day when the debate was over. If she was illegal i hope Meg will deport back the illegal alien soon! if she is legal than she gotten her money paid by Gloria. It so obvious it was a setup.

she like other politicians hired her because she was cheap labor and it did affect the election ..she looked like another schmuck in politics.

What Jerry planted a illegal alien? LOL duh it was planned after Jerry found out, but he didn't hire her did he... Meg did .
#5 Nov 24, 2010
hope she is a fertile mama n pops lotsa anchor babies
poverty and economic bad news cheers me up.
and the guilt trip ads-(ya know-feed the endless hordes of kids overseas as mama pops out yet more.)
when we can't even feed our own anchors!
#6 Nov 24, 2010
False. She made $23/hour. That is hardly "cheap labor." She lied about her status for years. When she finally stated to Whitman that she was illegal, she was fired. Whitman did exactly the right thing. It is too bad that doing the right thing meant that Allred and Brown used it for political gain by misrepresenting the facts.
A LOT of people will work for $23/hour.
#7 Nov 24, 2010
How do you come to "know" all these "facts"? Did you just read about it somewhere or do you have real actual straight information?
#8 Nov 24, 2010
Yes, isn't that funny, Meg Fires her because she's illegal and then those for Jerry Brown hire her to use her for propaganda.
#9 Nov 24, 2010
So, years ago, Brown was thinking ahead 9 years, so he set up an illegal immigrant woman to work in the home of a CEO who...what??...he knew had aspirations to become the governor of CA. in 2010?
Whitman has a history of elitism taught within her family, and by her treatment toward her employees. Her sons were reported to behave outrageously in college, so Whitman bought an entire multi-million dollar building for the campus to upgrade the profile of the Whitman name.
She was no more ready to lead a state than was 1/2 Gov. Palin.
#10 Nov 24, 2010
It was widely reported in the news. Do you have any personal factual information that shows that is incorrect or just your personal opinion?

It could be worse. If,(God forbid) something should happen to Gov. elect Brown, then guess who would step right into that spot...(former mayor of SF, Gavin Nuisance) and Brown is quite aged.
#13 Nov 24, 2010
Parents owe the Nurses Union a debt of thanks. The Dem sweep of the elections gave our kids a clear choice for their future and took the pressure off parents.
Now our kids can either line up to be govt union employees or they can line up for Govt Cheese.

No Sh$t....of course she was paid well after all she was working for a multi-millionaire,$23 might as well be minimum wage to a employer with that kind of bread . If she was white she would have been payed $40 per hour lol. Anys your Bee-yoch lost and that's the main point ..have a Happy Thanks Giving.:)
#15 Nov 24, 2010
It just seems silly that you would simply repeat the Party Line created by Megs P.R. People. We all heard it a million times already.
#16 Nov 24, 2010
Your jealousy of Money is showing... Would you feel better is Meg was not a successful Business woman and made her money from the backs of taxpayers instead.. Yeah I guess you would that's why you voted for Brown....
#17 Nov 24, 2010
And if she was purple with yellow polka dots she would have been paid $100 an hour....
What is your point again...? Oh Yeah, It doesn't matter what you do for a living, It's how much you can complain that somebody else has something you don't....
#18 Nov 25, 2010
Meg is way better than OLD Jerry Brown...
Very SAD Meg did not WIN!!!!
#19 Nov 25, 2010
She fired her only after she decided to run . Just like the old police cheif from N.Y. after Bush Jr. appointed him to his cabinet . Then it came out that he had an illegal from Guatemala working for him . He then fired her but too late he lost his appointment . Meg just paid the worker all the money from all the o.t. that she never paid her . She knew before hand but with the election she tried to clean house .Work wise she sent over 10,000 jobs out of the country so she could put more money in her pockets . Anybody that outsources jobs out of the country is no good for the country . Buy made in the U.S.A. only so it will force companies to keep the jobs here where they belong in the U.S. of A . Tax the hell out of imports like Japan does to U.S. made products .

Sum 41
Label: Island, Aquarius, EMI, Universal
Years active: 1996-present
- All Killer, No Filler (2001)
- Does This Look Infected? (2002)
- Chuck (2004)
- Underclass Hero (2007)
- Screaming Bloody Murder (2011)
Canada's finest, Sum 41 is a band which rode the wave of pop punk popularity around the late nineties and early 2000's to become an institution in the genre.
Mixing the traditional pop punk formula with homages to metal in the form of harmonic solos, the band carved out a niche for themselves – with their modern punk sound betraying such influences as NOFX and even Metallica and Iron Maiden.
The band's EP 'Half Hour of Power' was released in June 2000 and went gold in Canada. They followed up the EP with the wildly successful 'All Killer No Filler' full-length album through Island Records. A string of hits including: Fat Lip, Motivation and In Too Deep put the band on the map, and they were rewarded with touring slots with pop punk heavyweights Blink 182 and The Offspring.
They followed up 'Killer' with 'Does This Look Infected' in 2002, displaying an edgier and angrier sound than was heard on the poppy predecessor. In 2004, after a trip to war-torn Congo, the band returned with the more political 'Chuck', named after the UN Peacekeeper who kept them safe after gunfire broke out near their hotel.
Lead guitarist Baksh announced his departure in 2006, leaving to form his new group Brown Brigade. Brown Sound was replaced with Tom 'Brown Tom' Thacker. Sum 41 continued recording and released Underclass Hero in 2007, a more indie-sounding but no-less political record.
In 2011, the Canadian pop punk band released Screaming Bloody Murder, continuing the evolution of their sound.

HIS Radeon HD 7970 6GB IceQ X2 (Dual GPU) Video Card Review
We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASUS and Corsair.
As we've mentioned a few times already, because we only recently updated our testbed line up we're slowly building up the video cards we have in our results.
Today you'll see the Sapphire HD 7870 OC Edition along with the reference AMD HD 7970 GHz Edition and the other HD 7950 Ice X2 Boost clock overclocked to 1200MHz on the core and 5300MHz QDR on the memory.
Let's get started!
The FPS Numbers Explained
When we benchmark our video cards and look at the graphs, we aim to get to a certain level of FPS which we consider playable. While many may argue that the human eye can't see over 24 FPS or 30 FPS, any true gamer will tell you that as we climb higher in Frames Per Seconds (FPS), the overall gameplay feels smoother. There are three numbers we're looking out for when it comes to our benchmarks.
30 FPS - It's the minimum number we aim for when it comes to games. If you're not dropping below 30 FPS during games, you're going to have a nice and smooth gaming experience. The ideal situation is that even in a heavy fire fight, the minimum stays above 30 FPS making sure that you can continue to aim easily or turn the corner with no dramas.
60 FPS - It's the average we look for when we don't have a minimum coming at us. If we're getting an average of 60 FPS, we should have a minimum of 30 FPS or better and as mentioned above, it means we've got some smooth game play happening.
120 FPS - The new number that we've been hunting down over recent months. If you're the owner of a 120 Hz monitor, to get the most out of it you want to get around the 120 FPS mark. Moving from 60 FPS / 60 Hz to 120 FPS / 120 Hz brings with it a certain fluidity that can't really be explained, but instead has to be experienced. Of course, if you're buying a 120 Hz monitor to take advantage of 3D, an average of 120 FPS in our benchmark means that in 3D you will have an average of 60 FPS, which again means you should expect some smooth gameplay.

Toasting to the success of the reopening of the Helmsley Community and Sports Club are (from left) Chairman of the Management Committe Carol Swift , Bar Steward Frances Debenham and Manager Dinah Farley. Picture :Garry Atkinson (6882356)

helmsley sports club/karen/with pic
MEMBERS of a committee which has spent years fundraising to revamp a community facility are celebrating after the first phase of work was completed.
Local people are now being urged to support Helmsley Sports and Social Club by using the clubhouse and grounds as well as becoming members.
Chairman Carol Swift said the kitchen and changing rooms were now finished allowing then to work towards the second phase of the project, which includes refurbishing the bar and social area.
"We are absolutely delighted with how it looks and we know want people to come forward and use it," she added.
"The club is in an ideal location and we are looking to start new activities including darts and pools teams as well as other sports such as karate and keep-fit."
Carol said around £100,000 had been raised through donations, grants and events such as the annual Helmsley 10k.
"It looks amazing and we would like to thank everyone who has helped with fundraising and supported the project and we can now look forward to the second phase," she added.
"Our aim now is to have something for all ages to encourage children to get involved and get on board through to older people with tea dances and social events."
Dinah Farley, who recently retired as Helmsley Town Clerk, has taken on the role of manager of the sports and social club.
"At the moment we are only open a few days a week but it would be good if we could see the club being used every day," she said.
"We have already had interest from organisers of a new youth club for Helmsley who want to meet at the club."
Dinah added: "It is a really great place and we hope people will come and use it.
"I had only been retired a day or two when i took on this role but I like a challenge and this is such a wonderful facility."
Anyone who is interested in becoming a member, or is interested in using Helmsley Sports and Social Club should contact Carol Swift on 01439 771072 or Dinah Farley 01653 628858.

Changes on the Horizon for Religious Education Recognition
Manuli, Pat, Momentum
A redesigned Religious Educational Excellence Award will be presented to a parish catechetical leader who exemplifies excellence in catechesis
In his apostolic exhortation Catechesi Tradendae (1979), Pope John Paul II declared that parishes have
the serious duty to train people completely dedicated to providing catechef/ca/ leadership (priests,! men and women religious, and fay people), to provide the equipment needed for catechesis under all aspects, to increase and adapt the places for catechesis to the extent that it is possible and useful to do so, and to be watchful about the quality of the religious formation of the various groups and their integration into the ecclesial community. " (CT 67)
The "General Directory for Catechesis" (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1997) and the "National Directory for Catechesis" (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2005) also stress the importance of a professional catechetical leader in every parish. The General Directory points to the role of the bishops in that "he ensure effective priority for an active and fruitful catechesis in his Church 'putting into operation the necessary personnel, means and equipment, and also financial resource.'" (GDC 223).
The National Directory further expands this role to the parish, stating, "The single most critical factor in an effective parish catechetical program is the leadership of a professionally trained parish catechetical leader." (NDC 54B5) The National Directory goes on to discuss the importance of allocating resources "so that they are able to acquire the services of a competent and qualified catechetical leader."
The catechetical leader holds a vital position within the parish in the life of faith for children and their families. There may be hundreds or, in some cases, thousands of children in a parish community who are in need of catechetical formation. Directors of faith formation are responsible for all of the details inherent in establishing, directing and supervising programs that will help young people and their families develop and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ as well as to teach them the essence of the Catholic faith.
Each year, we celebrate excellence with Oscar, Tony, AMA, MVP, Emmy, Golden Globe, Cy Young, Nobel and Pulitzer awards, not to mention recognitions for best actor, best movie, best actress, best producer, song of the year, record of the year, album of the year, athlete of the year and on and on and on. Those who win awards are acknowledged as among the best in their fields. They deserve recognition for their achievements, hard work and commitment to their craft. Awards acknowledge accomplishments and provide an opportunity to distinguish the winner as a model to be emulated. They also encourage the awardee to continue to pursue that same standard of excellence in her or his continued work.
The NPCD has a history of recognizing its members for excellence as catechetical leaders in their parish.
The executive committee of the NPCD initially created the "DRE of the Month" column in Today's Parish magazine. In 1992, that column became known as the Religious Educational Excellence Award and featured a recipient of the award in each issue. The Religious Educational Excellence Award has been given to a catechetical leader or leaders who offered new ideas or unique approaches that improved the quality of parish programs.
To encourage parental participation and leadership in the church's religious educational efforts, the Mustard Seed Award was developed in cooperation with the executive committee of the former National Conference of Diocesan Religious Educators, which now is part of the Department of Chief Administrators of Catholic Education. That award has been presented annually to a parish or parishes that exemplify programs of parental involvement.
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the Religious Educational Excellence Award (REEA) in 2012, we are taking the opportunity to redesign both the REEA and the Mustard Seed awards. …

Great art!
son of a wow!
"I am Heavy Weapons Bot and this is my new weapon!"
Looks pretty cool! The small people who standing also on the rock creates a perfect size comparison .
This pic really reminds me of the older Armored Core game series
excellent mecha!
excellent atmosphere and lighting
My reaction if I was on the other side: "lets light em up!" Sees giant, pouty lip, starts crying.
absolutely stunning!
BEAU c'est très beau ... Bravissimo !!!!
Epic pic!
That...is a MASSIVE gun.
New scene for future Halo game?
Just plain bad ASSSSSS. Each round from that thing is about the size of a cruise missile!! Amazing art and concept!
niceness, big as hell.
very cool!
I'd feel very secure with this big fella providing fire support
Of course I'd hate to be anywhere near it when it opened fire with that gun. If i didn't get flattened by the muzzle flash, I'd get knocked down by Falling brass

That is a lot of dakka there.
nice scale
that is a big Mini gun, he can sure do some damage with that one LOL
I am Heavy Weapons Guy...and THIS, is my weapon!
It's an excellent design for infantry power armor, but for a piloted vehicle (significantly larger than a humanoid body), I question the need for handheld weapons as opposed to integral ones.
Great use of textures
Amazing background...
amazing piece! Love the rocks in the background.
"I will pierce the heavens with my drill" (or mega minigun as it were...) A bit like Toppen Tenga Gurren Lagann (an iconic Anime). Love it.
One big bro for sure
amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like .
Wow, that's really cool. Amazing work!
Very nice concept
0___0 sick
this is epic. you should do more. nice people too.
looks like the Arbiter with a 50 cal
wow hes HUGE
Great work.
hahah the creature looks like a elite from halo-haha love this!
came on, O.o giant robot with a minigun ? ok the world are f**ked.
I love this real look like real
I love this real look like real
Master of Light!
Wicked mechanical soldier! The background is classic and adding the sci-fi juxtapozes well.
Amazing design and color. What is the Monolith from?

Lives in United Kingdom
Works as a Photographer
Has a website at www.dumplingsphotography.com
Joined on Mar 15, 2010
About me:
Budding Family Lifestyle & Baby Photographer.
Thanks for your article Casey. I recently launched my business and definitely lack in Step 3. I don't really know what I am doing wrong, but on average I only manage to book 1 out of 5 inquiries I receive via my site. I always wondered if that was normal or if I am just not responding properly to potential clients. I try not to sound too pushy or desperate, but say something like " thank you for your message. I'd love to book you in for a shoot. Here is when I am available. Here are the location options. Here is the price ( if they ask ). Look forward to hearing back."
am I missing something?
Michael, Thank you for the article. While I don't agree with the part about professionals shooting a crop sensor camera ( I think a full frame sensor delivers a lot more depth unless you are a true photoshop artist and are willing to put in many many more hours into post to achive that ff look ). I think your images are stunning. I really enjoyed looking through your work on your site, especially the engagement/romatic couples photos. they are truly truly stunning!
I regret that I dont live anywhere close to you otherwise I would definitely hire you as our family photographer as well as someone I'd love to learn from.
-Liya (www.dumplingsphotography.com )
:) thanks!
it was so much fun!! a really amazing experience, esp with the team USA win!!
i think this is a beautiful shot!
liya: I submitted a light hearted photo of my kid after NOT seeing anything mentioned in rules to the contrary. My entry was DQ-ed with the comment " children don't belong in this challenge!!" .
this tone was a bit snide. I think if children so clearly don't belong then it should be stated in the rules... I checked the other entries before submitting mine and saw a handful of kid photos, a camel, a seal, a few dogs and some ducks ... so clearly I am not the only one so dense as to not "get it".
You have missed my point. Its perfectly understandible that this challenge would not be appropriate for kids, my issue was being made to feel like I'd done something wrong - being dq-ed + snide remark - whereas its incumbent upon the host to set the tone of the challenge by specifying no kids in the rules, instead of using the title of a popular song that actually DOES make light/joke about being sexy.

is this bw?
love love love this photo! beautiful
this is a terrific shot, shame its so underexposed. A bit of pp and it will be A++ for me
this is super cute! I love everything about this shot: color, expression, etc
This photo would be really great for me if the knee+foot in the left edge was cloned out.
Michael L NYC 99: I guess some people felt the need to punish shots of seals and sea lions with half star votes. I got dinged with 3 half stars.
same here. I was really dissapointed with some of the half and 1 stars i got on my image ( came in 37). Its one of my faves.
I think its a beautiful shot and has great colors! IN a landscape contest I imagine I would give this image 2.5 stars as is. My favorite part here is the beautiful sky and clouds, so to improve I would crop the bottom rocks which are a bit boring and emphasize the sky as the main focus.
Another idea, since I like the little path on the right, would be to make this a vertical crop ( which probably wouldn't have worked for the landscape challenge ) or just the right side. that way you include the path, the clouds/sky and the hikers and remove the less exciting bits.
Thanks Patty. I really appreciate your feedback. I am going to dig up the raw version of this and play with it at home. hopefully will be able to recover some of the sky and the mountains on the left side. As is you are right in that the left side of the image is useless, although i did like the way the power lines gently slope into the edge of the frame.
I think its a good shot and with some minor cropping and exposure adjustments it will be great.
I would remove of some water from the bottom and bring up the blacks ( lighten) a bit on the left edge. I would also increase the vibrance or saturation as well as clarity/contrast a bit to make the gorgeous colors pop.
the dof here is used without much rhyme or reason. I cant follow why you chose for some parts are blurry, more importantly I dont know where to focus as a viewer and why...
Its a beautiful image. Only thing is its a bit oof and could be sharper to really jump out. My guess is people voted low because it wasnt as exciting perhaps as some other "wet" entries.
Macro flower shots are so prevalent that they really have to be awe inspiring and technically perfect to get a good score
Its a very intersting composition and a great shot...however the noise I think kills it for people. I would like to have seen a bit more detail of the boys face and feet, but due to lighting conditions thats not possible. its abit underexposed for me as well.
Just looks a bit flat. even though the content is very interesting. The direct flash washing out the livelihood here makes the overall image seem dull.
I definitely not easy to pull this off...

Theoretical conversation: "The law's on the way. Hide me, baby, hide me."
Deon Dorsey would have meant that literally. The Florida fugitive used a child to hide from Tallahassee Police Department officers.
Dorsey, 20, was wanted by police for violating his probation on a conviction of battery and trespassing.
So here's how the U.S. Marshals say Dorsey hid: Dorsey wedged himself between a wall and the box springs of a mattress. A mattress was slid over his hiding spot and a child placed directly over him.
Apparently this kind of hiding behavior is not uncommon for people running from the police. The U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force has found fugitives beneath clothes in a closet; in attic crawl spaces, inside the trunks of cars, walls, clothes dressers and, our favorite, inside refrigerators. However, using a child to hide from the law was apparently a new one.
Officers grew suspicious, however, and Dorsey was uncovered.
By the way, Dorsey was wanted as a suspect in a domestic battery case in which a victim was nearly strangled, according to U.S. Marshals. Dorsey's current girlfriend, Maydreona Miles, is now in trouble for Obstruction of Justice after Miles repeatedly stated to officers that Dorsey was not inside the residence.

Article: An enhancer required for transcription of the Col6a1 gene in muscle connective tissue is induced by signals released from muscle cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Collagen VI is a survival factor for skeletal muscle produced by endomysial cells and localized in connective tissue around muscle fibers. Mutations of its genes (COL6A1, COL6A2 and COL6A3) cause two muscular disorders, Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich disease. Expression of Collagen VI is highly dynamic during development, suggesting that developmental and homeostatic cues of the muscle microenvironment are relevant to confine its expression in this tissue. In face of the large body of work highlighting the relevance for human diseases of the adhesion of muscle cells with their surrounding extracellular matrix, remarkably little is known on how myogenic cells control gene expression in the connective tissue cells that produce such matrix. By expressing promoter-lacZ constructs in transgenic mice, we identify a Col6a1 gene enhancer region that is necessary for activation of transcription in connective tissue cells associated with skeletal muscle. By means of a lacZ transgenic mouse line crossed in metD/D mutant background, in which muscles of limb buds fail to form, we provide evidence that the presence of cells of the myogenic lineage is needed for enhancer activation in mesenchymal cells. Accordingly, lack of myogenic cells in limb buds of metD/D mice reduces Collagen VI deposition in connective tissue. The Col6a1 enhancer characterized here is conserved in mammals and may be relevant in some cases of heritable diseases of Collagen VI.

ABSTRACT: TGF-beta proteins are main regulators of blood vessel development and maintenance. Here, we report an unprecedented link between TGF-beta signaling and arterial hypertension based on the analysis of mice mutant for Emilin1, a cysteine-rich secreted glycoprotein expressed in the vascular tree. Emilin1 knockout animals display increased blood pressure, increased peripheral vascular resistance, and reduced vessel size. Mechanistically, we found that Emilin1 inhibits TGF-beta signaling by binding specifically to the proTGF-beta precursor and preventing its maturation by furin convertases in the extracellular space. In support of these findings, genetic inactivation of Emilin1 causes increased TGF-beta signaling in the vascular wall. Strikingly, high blood pressure observed in Emilin1 mutants is rescued to normal levels upon inactivation of a single TGF-beta1 allele. This study highlights the importance of modulation of TGF-beta availability in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
Article: Overlapping, complementary and site-specific expression pattern of genes of the EMILIN/Multimerin family[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The EDEN gene superfamily comprises genes that contain the EMI domain, a structural motif recently identified in proteins of the extracellular matrix. We report here the detailed expression pattern of genes of the EMILIN/Multimerin family, the most numerous group of EDEN superfamily, during mouse development. In situ hybridization has revealed that the EMILIN/Multimerin genes are particularly expressed in the cardio-vascular system and in mesenchymal cells. In general, the territories of expression of each gene are partially overlapping or complementary with that of other members of the family and, usually, more than one gene of the family is active in different tissues, consistent with the possibility of functional compensation. The analysis is particularly relevant in the interpretation of gene targeting experiments.

ABSTRACT: Collagen VI is a main extracellular matrix protein whose mutation is linked to myopathic diseases. In myoblasts and other cell types, collagen VI gene transcription peaks during cell-cycle exit that precedes differentiation, upon serum withdrawal or confluence. To get insight into this transcriptional regulation, we characterized a growth arrest responsive region (GARR) in the Col6a1 promoter responsible for this effect. In this work, we identify sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) as a GARR binding protein and provide evidence that SREBP contributes to induction of Col6a1 transcription in serum free conditions. Furthermore, our data unveil a previously unexpected link between extracellular matrix production and LDL signaling.

ABSTRACT: Expression of EMILIN-1, the first member of a newly discovered family of extracellular matrix genes, has been investigated during mouse development. EMILIN-1 mRNA is detectable in morula and blastocyst by RT-PCR. First expression of the gene is found by in situ hybridization in ectoplacental cone in embryos of 6.5 days and in extraembryonic visceral endoderm at 7.5 days. The allantois is also labeled. Staining of ectoplacental cone-derived secondary trophoblast giant cells and spongiotrophoblast is strong up to 11.5 days and then declines. In the embryo, high levels of mRNA are initially expressed in blood vessels, perineural mesenchyme and somites at 8.5 days. Later on, intense labeling is identified in the mesenchymal component of organs anlage (i.e. lung and liver) and different mesenchymal condensations (i.e. limb bud and branchial arches). At late gestation staining is widely distributed in interstitial connective tissue and smooth muscle cell-rich tissues. The data suggest that EMILIN-1 may have a function in placenta formation and initial organogenesis and a later role in interstitial connective tissue.
