A comment on PeaceMaker, I have to say this was one of the more puzzling series I ever watched, it yanked itself in so many directions, in so many ways (most well-done). The episodes on disc #2 are just as BD describes, good relaxing watching with a lot of promise.
*waves hullo to BD, a fellow miserable, Rhode Islander* I'm probably one of the only people on this forum who completely "get" your rants about TF Green. hehe you should have been there BEFORE all the improvements... oy

I still find the reviews of Stellvia to be a little harsh. I'm usually VERY picky about my anime, and I do have high tastes. Thing is, though, is that stellvia sucked me into it's storyline right quick. Also, that little snide definition of it at the end is totally unrepresentative of the series, as shall be seen in future volumes. Simply classing Stellvia as a "coming of age" anime seems a bit limiting since there's alot more to it. There's a fair amount of character development done on the adult side characters, making them continuously more and more interesting, as well as some good development coming up very very soon. This series may seem fairly mild and unserious right now, but that's going to take a massive turn coming up soon, and if you're attentive, you can see it coming.
While any praise I see for stellvia is good, I still would rather see it in the Shelf Worthy category rather than Rental, because the series is most certainly worth the price of the DVDs.
However, this is only my own honest opinion, not stated fact.

Really, Fushigi Yugi really should be a shelf worthy item. It does have a good storyline, and being that it is from around 1995, that is typical of animation around its time.
Unfortunately, I bought a bootleg of the series from eBay where they used the source from the original Pioneer releases so that it looks really good, but each boxset has one less DVD (3 for season 1, 3 for season 2, and 3 for Oni/Eikoden). So, I have the intention on buying the individual DVD's to replace what I got.
I'll probably sell the bootleg on eBay or sell it to a Pawn shop.

First of all, to everyone at ANN: Happy New Year
I'm going to comment of what I believe are three of the most underrated anime series in the market (and three of my personal favorites): Kiddy Grade, Kaleido Star, and Stellvia.
1. Kiddy Grade
I loved how Gonzo/Team gimik evolved this series from a light-hearted, girlish space romp (with loads of fan service) to a dark, compelling, and exciting galactic battle for survival (with the fan service taking a much needed step back). The final three episodes completed the 180 degree turn, a perfect way to end this compelling series. Some reviewers gave Kiddy Grade such harsh and degrading opinions on the series, but probably because they saw the first few episodes and quickly tuned it out. Fortunately, the ANN reviewers didn't do that, and let the series run its course. Definitely one of anime's "hidden gems".
2. Kaleido Star
This series made my list of Top Ten Anime Series for two reasons. First, Junichi Sato did a masterful job developing the relationship between Sora and Layla, going from bitter rivals to acceptance and finally as both friends and partners in the Kaleido Stage. Second, the overall development of Sora as one of anime's strongest characters is another credit to the masterful work of Sato-san. If there ever was a great role model in anime, Sora Naegino is tops on my list.
I've been collecting anime for about 4 years now, and Sora quickly became my favorite anime character. She's definitely not a "moe" character; she's strong-willed, determined, kind-hearted, and never backs down from a challenge, no matter how difficult or impossible it might be. I'm also looking forward to Season 2 in March; the two new entries in the Kaleido Stage (Leon and May) are going to be very interesting characters.
Strongly agree.
3. Stellvia
I disagree with this comment, Sir_Brass. I understand that you already saw the entire Stellvia series, but please bear in mind that the majority of us haven't see all of it yet. However, you and I do agree that Stellvia is worth the price of the disc. I believe the reason why Bamboo put Stellvia in the Rental section is because Stellvia is a lot like Azumanga Daioh - it needs an acquired taste. (Another similarity is that both Stellvia and Azumanga were both directed by Tatsuo Sato, who has a knack for developing groups of characters in an entertaining way.)
In a way, both Shipon (her real name is Shima, but Shipon sounds better - that's what you get for befriending a flamboyant free-spirit with a hair style that would make Yami Yugi proud) and Sora are alike. They both enter their respective situations with nothing more than their dreams in tow; they both struggled mightily in the early going; and they both are determined to do their best and never give up.
Like Bamboo wrote at the end of the review, watch for Stellvia in the near future. This has the potential to be one of the top titles in 2005.

When I watched the first Stellvia DVD, I *really* wanted to give it a glowing review, but then I realized that the best I could do was hand out a B, mostly because:
1) Stellvia only gets really awesome once you hit the middle episodes: spoiler[the climax of the Great Mission and where Shipon and Kouta hook up]. Prior to that, it's kind of blah, except for the Astroball ...
2) I'm a big Harry Potter wonk. Especially with the Quidditch. (okay, stop making fun now.) I also like space opera / sci-fi kinds of shows. Therefore, I adore Stellvia for being the anime equivalent of HARRY POTTER IN SPACE~~!!1 However, this won't work with everyone, and it's very much a matter of personal taste whether you go for the genre elements of boarding schools and starships and flying.
So yeah, if you go disc-by-disc, Stellvia starts out rather average, and you just have to stick it out if you want to see where it gets good.

Fushigi Yuugi was my first favorite anime series, but one of the main reasons why I put it in rental was that individually, each disc doesn't give the full scope of the storyline justice. In fact, the earlier discs is just watching Miaka go around collecting the Suzaku seishi, and we don't yet get to see how strongly the complete group functions together. I'm hoping that if people get the chance to rent these individual discs, they'll be compelled to want to own the entire series.
As of the last Shelf Life, I've only seen two volumes of Stellvia. The main thing that was getting to me was Shima's character, who really just rubbed me the wrong way. However, I do acknowledge that the show has potential, and the latter half of the second volume really showed that, in my opinion. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the series, and while I have no doubt that the story will develop beyond a "coming of age" tale, I have not yet reached that point yet in the series.

Don't give Gonzo too much credit there. They didn't write the script or anything.

You're absolutely right! The proper credit goes to Team gimik (Keiji Gotoh, Hidefumi Kimura, and Megumi Kadonosono) for their excellent work on their debut project. Their current project is a magical girl anime called Uta~Kata, which debut in Japan on 10/3/04. I apoligize for omitting this.

These Geneon Signature series DVD's are just a re-release of the original bailyboxsets that came out around 2001. These new discs have the same episode count as the original DVD bailybox releases, something like 7/6/7/6 per season.
Although the bootleg I have was a 9/9/8 per season. And I have yet to watch season 2 and Oni/Eikoden because of the fact that there are that many episodes on a DVD. I have the intention of buying the official releases due to me unknowingly buying a bootleg from eBay.

I'm almost tempted to say "Don't waste your money" on Oni, though. I loved the series, but Oni just sucked, IMO. Where I could barely stop watching long enough to take the time to go eat something while marathoning through the series (it was good enough that I almost skipped some of my classes, and I'm LOATHE to do that, even if the class is dull as heck), I couldn't wait for the ova eps to end during Oni. Eikoden isn't that bad, but it's also not up to par with the series. However, at the price it's being offered at, it's not a bad buy considering. Oni, on the other hand, is a waste of your time. You're free to not believe me, of course (I didn't listen when I was told this), but you'll probably look at that sixty and some dollars you spent on it and think "I could've gotten more anime that IS worth buying with what I spent on this!"
Just giving you a heads up. I hate to see people be enthusiastic about a release and then watch it and feel like they've wasted their money.

The liberal journalist Eric Alterman, a columnist for The Nation and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress think tank, is a particularly nasty example of the liberal homophobe. Two years ago he challenged gay, HIV-positive journalist Andrew Sullivan to prove a claim Sullivan had made about Alterman regarding military action in Afghanistan, offering to pay "$10,000 to the AIDS charity of Sullivan's choice." He mocked Sullivan, "who is HIV positive and likes to discuss this fact with reporters," for his "remodeled bathroom in P-town." Alterman regularly refers to Sullivan as "little Roy," after Roy Cohn, the gay aide to Sen. Joe McCarthy who died of AIDS complications.Kirchick offers a litany of other examples, but this makes twice in one week that we've seen employees of the Center for American Progress pointed out as particularly unabashed in their gay bashing. Alterman hasn't deigned to respond to the charge, and neither has Spencer Ackerman, who earlier in the week referred to Kirchick as "twinkletoes" on his personal blog before intimating that he'd gotten his position at the New Republic through some form of gay prostitution. It's not often that I agree with Andrew Sullivan, but today he flags Ackerman's post as a "classic" case of liberal homophobia, which the Center for American Progress seems to tolerate without any concern at all. On the upside, given Ackerman's penchant for lashing out at his colleagues and berating his superiors in print, as he does yet again today in a very entertaining post, perhaps we will soon get a much better understanding of how decisions are made at CAP, if only through the eyes of a paranoid lefty with a martyr complex.

Fits small
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I bought a size small, my waist size is 29, and it was too small. I'm going to exchange it for a medium. Other than the sizing issue, what a great one-quiver harness. It can do it all! Comfy enough for multi-pitch routes and light enough for alpine ascents and sending hard sport routes. Overall a great harness by black diamond and look forward to trying the larger size.
Runs small
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Because of how the gear loops are positioned on the harness, you need to be at the bottom end of the size range for it to properly fit (i.e M = 30 in waist; L = 33 in waist). I wear 32 x 32 jeans and needed to buy the large.
Not for the tall and slim
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
So, I originally got this harness for myself but ended up letting my little brother use it. The seat was unbalanced for me to feel comfortable sitting back in. The harness itself was very well built for the price and has plenty of room for your gear. If you are tall and slim I would recommend going up to a medium.
My favorite color is blue...
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I really like this harness. It racks well, it it super versatile, and it does not break the bank. I have used it for a little over a year now, and it has stood up to abuse like a champ. My only complaint (and the reason that it gets 4 stars) is that it is not the most comfortable harness to hang around in for hours on end. Now, are you going to get a better harness for the price? Probably not. Would this be my first choice for a long, drawn out multi-pitch climb? Nope.
Not bad for the price!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Has all the basic features you want, even slots for 4 ice clippers! I wish it packed up smaller like an arc'teryx harness. But for 60 bucks you can't go wrong!
Super versatile harness
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I have used this harness for a couple of years for gym, outdoor rock, and ice climbing. For folks who want to have one workhorse harness to do it all, this is a great option. I really like the ice clipper slots, so that you can put on up to four ice clippers for racking ice screws (or even ice tools). It also has a decent amount of padding for working routes or on hanging belays. There are certainly lighter harness out there, but it's hard to beat the versatility of this one, especially a the price point.

First Harness I've owned! sweet!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
So I'm no climbing pro but I was looking for something that is capable of tackling almost anything. I had only been indoor climbing for a few months before I bought it and had also done some mountaineering and ice climbing as well. I had used a gym harness and a beat up old unknown brand harness for those latter excursions and knew I wanted something that could do it all. The staff at my local gym pointed me towards this and I was super stoked to get it.
It's super comfy, fits great though that took a little bit to dial in (I was on the high end of a large and low end of xl got a large though returned it for an xl) and has held up great though it hasn't exactly seen anything traumatizing. Unfortunately, it hasn't seen ice even though I planned on it. The leg loops do slide up a bit as another reviewer mentioned but it's not too annoying, I also haven't adjusted the leg loops at all since I got it.
All in all killer first harness in my opinion. I've only ever tried this one though.
Great Fit
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I've had trouble in the past with some harnesses not fitting properly. I always seem to have issues with the leg loops being too small. But not with this harness. It fits me almost perfectly. On top of the great fit, it's also incredibly easy to reach my gear while climbing, and the harness is comfortable on long days of climbing. I had the Petzl Adjama before this and while this seems to have less padding than the Adjama, it just feels more comfortable. I'm 6'1, 185 lbs and I wear a medium harness.
Chopping Ice
Solid, versatile
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
It's hard to get too stoked on a good harness, but you can always tell when you have a bad one. The BD Aspect does great job as an all-arounder. Comfortable enough to wear all day on ice or long multi-pitch routes. Streamlined and light enough for sport climbing. I'm 5'8" 170lbs and sized up to a Large to fit over layers for alpine stuff, but easily cinched it down for sport duty while wearing a t-shirt
Gets the job done. Mountains & gym.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
Picked this up to replace an ancient (pre-belay loop) harness for sport climbing and mountaineering trips and continue to do both with it many months later. It's survived the gym (and the shoe bag), held on over outer gear in the cold and while I'm far from an expert or pro, it's light enough, solid enough and modular enough to stay on the gear shelf.
Comfortable for extended use. Folds down well for packs (I keep it in the original BD case at home) and while not the lightest harness by a long stretch, nothing over the top either.
Leg straps ride up a little on climbing use, otherwise I'd give it a solid 5.
Comfortable Harness
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I've been using this all summer, and it's been working great. I climb a couple times a week in the gym and usually get outside a few times each summer. This was an upgrade from a pretty low-end harness that I'd had for years, and it's a much appreciated upgrade. I no longer have to worry about getting uncomfortably pinched while hanging from the rope.
The adjustments are fast, easy, and secure. I've taken in canyoneering as well as climbing both indoors and out all summer, and it is not showing much wear and tear yet.
This harness was recommended to my by a friend who climbs a ton - both sport as well as trad. He used the same harness and had a great experience with it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable, solid, all around harness.
Versatile Harness
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I use this harness mostly for ice climbing, but have also used it for rock and indoor climbing as well as glacier travel. It works well for everything. The ice clipper slots work great with the Petzl ice clippers. Great for racking screws or extra bits. Plenty of space for everything. Runs a little big. Im a 31-32 waist and got a Medium, and its JUST small enough, cant really tighten it much more. but fits well.
Black Diamond Aspect Harness
Light weight and comfortable
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I am coming off an older Arcterx harness, which was a fairly minimalist design. This BD Aspect has been my first new harness in years, and so far so good. The waist belt has enough padding to remain comfortable all day, yet remains weight conscious. I really like having adjustable leg loops, as well. My legs are usually a bit bigger in the spring, coming off of ski season, and then go back to normal towards the middle of the summer. Also, I hope to be using this harness during the winter for some ski mountaineering missions, in which the adjustable leg loops will be quite nice. So far, this harness has been comfortable, easy to adjust, quick to get in and out of, and has kept me safe. Two thumbs up!
Love this harness
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
This harness is well thought out and extremely comfortable for all day climbing. Easy to adjust on the fly. A go to for a do it all harness. Feels very secure.
Versatility for my needs
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I don't climb enough to need a specific harness for each season, so this harness really hits the sweet spot for me. I am also a fan of the new BD designs, the build quality is great.
Back problems solved.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I used to climb in Singing Rock harnesses which ended up giving me lower back pain every time I whipped. I decided to switch companies after a while and Black Diamond does the trick with the Aspect. It's a simple design but gives you the durability and usefulness that you want out of a harness. Definitely true to size for me. Great for technical sport climbing.
well priced winter harness
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I got this harness at the start of this ice season and I am very pleased with it. The ice clipper slots are well placed and won't rip ( like the ones on my blizzard did). I got the large and it is bottomed out, but with warm layers on it is not a problem since I have another harness for summer climbing and what-not. I don't prefer to have an "all season" harness because the needs of climbing very so much from February to August.
I bought the men's version and it works just fine for me.
Cool photo and great review!
This Harness truly does it all!!!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Being newish to climbing , this is my first harness because i was unsure what style of climbing i was going to pursue the most so i wanted something that would do it all. i wanted to avoid having to buy different harnesses for different styles of climbing, and this harness has done just that.
the ice clipper slots were what made my decision final on buying this harness. if you find yourself needing more gear loops you can purchase an ice clipper or 2 (up to 4) and increase your rack size. this is great for trad and ice climbing. then in the gym when you want a smaller rack you simply remove the ice clipper(s). i love the ice clipper because it allows you to rack gear that would otherwise need a carabiner to rack (things such as, un used belay devices, nut tools, 8 rings, exc.) i dont see the need to carry 3 extra carabiners to rack those things, plus the things can't swing around as much on an ice clipper as opposed to a carabiner on a gear loop.
i love the haul loop (i prefer to rack a chalk bag with the haul loop, its more comfortable for me)
the rear gear loop is a nice place to put items you dont need during an ascent.
i love having the ability to fully undo the waist and leg loops so its easier to put on over winter clothing on with crampons on.
the comfort is great, although this is my only harness to compare with, it fits to the body and has no pressure points that dig in over time.
overall if you are unsure of what climbing you are going to get into, i would get this because it does it all and you wont need to buy a new harness for a new style of climbing you didn't think you were going to do.
Could someone plz tell me what this blue cord is for I try using it for my chalk bag but right now I have it tied on with a piece of paracord.
Use it for whatever extra gear you want to have, but out of the way. My buddy uses that spot for a chalk bag. He attaches it with a small carabiner (the kind that is only good for your keychain...not a normal climbing Biner)
Yeah, you can attached whatever you'd like there!
tag line.
Will petzl clippers fit in the clipper...
Will petzl clippers fit in the clipper slots on this harness?
Yes they should fit without a problem.
What is the difference between this Harness...
What is the difference between this Harness and the Ozone harness besides the price?
The main difference is that the Ozone does not have adjustable leg loops.
The Ozone is a little bit lighter and it also doesn't feature a haul loop on the back.
Can anyone explain what the main difference,...
Can anyone explain what the main difference, beside price, between the Aspect and the Xenon? They both appear to be "all-season" harnesses that specialize in ice / alpine. I'm just not seeing what differentiates the $50 difference at full retail. Thanks!
The Xenos is a bit beefer, which is reflected in its weight?an etra 2 oz. The foam is a bit thicker on the Xenos from what I can tell and the harness belt is a bit wider. The leg straps in the back have buckles on the Xenos, looks like they have some type of hook adjustment on the aspect. The Xenos and included ice clipper for gear attachment.
I own the Xenos and love it, it is very comfortable, and easy to get on and off. I have used it for a tiny bit of ice climbing, rock climbing, and hitting the gym. It works well for all, but I bought it because I got an insanely good deal. If you can't really tell the difference personally I doubt it will make much difference to you.
Does the Aspect harness have the slots to...
Does the Aspect harness have the slots to put an ice screw holder (e.g. Petzl Caritool Ice Screw Holder, Black Diamond Ice Clipper)?
Yes the Aspect has 4 slots for ice clippers. I have 4 BD Ice clippers set up on mine but have not tried the Petzl Caritool Ice Screw Holder in those slots yet.

Most hospitals will not allow a scheduled c section before 39 weeks unless there's a legit medical reason for an earlier delivery.
I think you still have a chance your placenta can change possition but if not i would think they would want to keep baby in there as long as possible at least 36 + weeks
I would ask for an ultrasound before the C-section, too, because a lot of time the placenta can move up before birth.
I would think that given your history of preterm labor, if that happens again, they'll get you as close as possible and still try to schedule at 39 weeks, just prep for an emergency c-section if necessary. But again, just because you have complete previa now doesn't mean it'll stay that way!
~Jen, mom to Rebecca (3/08), Eliana (4/11), Zachary (1/13) and baby on the way (EDD 6/15)
my dr told me I could have one if I wanted because of my 4th degree tear withdd #1 he said they do them at 39 weeks! So if I choose that route I only have 17 left! im so not ready lol
They schedule me for one week before due, but if you go into labor early they'll just do it then. They want to wait as long as possible.
My 3 c/s kids:DD (8) DS (6) DD (2)
You are smart to have it monitored closely. I would guess they'll do more US as time goes on to make sure baby's lungs are developed enough to deliver around 37 weeks.
I had placenta previa at 20 weeks with my last LO and it completely moved out of the way before 42 weeks. However, because I was past the 42 week mark and still no progress, I was induced to save the baby. And that resulted in a C. I will say this, although certainly a harder recovery time (it is a huge sugery by the way), a C is not the worst thing in the world. It's great that you are preparing for it, just in case.
For C preparation advice I would recommend:
Do all you can to stay healthy and fit. The healthier you are going into surgery (any surgery) the better the recovery.
Take your boppy pillow to the hospital to help with BF and to protect your incision.
Take 3 or 4 extra outfits - foldover yoga pants are great for nurses checking your incision, plus loose, flowy tops and socks.
Dont' panic if your milk doesn't come in immediately. Sometimes a c section can delay it by a few days. Nothing worth panicking over.

Shep Gordon is one of those show business legends whose name isn't usually in boldface. Regular people don't know him, but stars like Sylvester Stallone, Michael Douglas, Alice Cooper and Jimi Hendrix were or are acquainted with this supermanager.
When pal Mike Myers came to Gordon and asked to make a documentary about his life, it wasn't a done deal. "I met Mike in Chicago on 'Wayne's World,' the movie, and then a few years later in Maui," Gordon recalls. "I love to cook, so I have big dinners at my house where I feed people and tell them stories. Mike said he really wanted to tell my story."
Thus the new film "Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon," now showing at Landmark Century Centre. The documentary marks Myers' directorial debut. "I guess Mike just loved my stories and kept coming back for me," says Gordon.
Q. Is it strange for a behind-the-scenes person like a manager to be the subject of a documentary?
A. Yes and no. I mean, what a great life. When I look back, I can't believe my life. Like I said, Mike kept coming for dinner because he loved my stories and then he ended up buying a house in Maui. For eight years, he kept saying, "Shep, let me make this film." I didn't want to do it because I felt like it could be an ego trip. I didn't want to walk down that highway and had avoided ego trips my entire life. I must have been at a weak moment and finally said yes.
Q. Let's get to some of your stories. Is it true that you once walked in and broke up a lovemaking session between Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin?
A. That's not exactly true. They weren't making out. She was sitting with Jimi when I walked in. He was just visiting. She was a pretty heavy drinker who liked Southern Comfort but was always very nice to me, although I never spent a lot of time with her. Hendrix was a great guy. Very quiet. But so talented.
Q. You managed Alice Cooper when he was on top of his career. What was your craziest night on the road?
A. We were at Green's Playhouse in Scotland, our first time in the country, when "School's Out" was No. 1 on the charts around the world. Alice was huge in England, but he wasn't playing there on the tour. Now, this small playhouse holds about 2,500 people and the seats filled for this sellout. About 15 minutes before Alice went on, I heard the speakers breaking up. I ran to the monitor board to see what was wrong with the sound and the guy tells me that nothing is wrong with the sound. I said, "Don't you hear that breaking sound?" I ran back to the stage and looked straight up. Fans had arrived with a hydraulic drill. They were drilling through the roof to get to the highest balcony in the theater to see the show.
Q. What doesn't the public know about Groucho Marx, another client?
A. Groucho was fantastic. I knew him later in his career when he was still hysterical. He would say, "You're Shep. My manager. You don't look like a crook." People don't know that old-fashioned letter writing was his passion. If he liked you, he wrote you a long letter. He even wrote to Einstein, and Einstein wrote Groucho back.
Q. Were you ever in physical danger with any of your clients?
A. I had to go to the police a couple of times for stalkers and people who were really nuts. Fame attracts that kind of thing. I do remember doing something with the Grateful Dead and we got chased by fans and had to stand on the top of a U-Haul. The fans destroyed all of the equipment. Another time with Alice, the crowd tipped our limo over, which was wild. After they did it, a fan reached in and stole something. Two of the roadies and me chased him to the local train station, jumped on the train and got it back. He stole Alice's guitar."
Q. How is life in retirement now?
A. What they don't tell you is you still wake up in the morning and do what you do. Then you fall asleep. You're not chasing guys on trains, but it's still pretty good.

Desktop-class performance; room for four hard drives; upgradeable CPU and graphics.
Extremely heavy; very short battery life; no 990X?
Riddle me this: When is a portable PC not a laptop? When it's so heavy you're afraid if you put it on your lap you'll never be able to get up again. Though we wish Eurocom's Panther 2.0 had shipped with a weightlifter's belt, our testing left little doubt that the chiropractor bills will be worth it. This outlandishly large machine has the power and flexibility of a true no-compromise mobile workstation.
To be fair, in 1983 the original Compaq Portable weighed in at around 28 pounds—this behemoth weighs just 15 pounds, including the power supply. However, instead of a 9-inch monochrome monitor, you get a 17.3-inch, 1920x1080 pixel, LED-backlit display. That's full HD resolution—combined with the Blu-ray player, five speakers, and a subwoofer, you've got yourself a portable movie theater, as well.
If performance trumps portability, this mobile workstation is the fastest, most flexible system you'll find anywhere.
It's not the 17-inch monitor, though, that sets this machine apart. The size and weight are necessary to support the power and features of a desktop PC. The rig is engineered to run desktop and workstation-class CPUs; our test system sported a Core i7-980X Extreme running at 3.33GHz with six cores, but the platform supports Xeon processors as well. Two AMD Radeon HD 6970M XT graphics cards, each with 2GB of GDDR5, work together with CrossFire technology.
Our test system included 12GB of RAM and two drives, one 256GB solid-state drive and one 500GB 7,200rpm hybrid drive. If that's not enough, there's room to expand with two more, and the system supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations. Even the CPU and graphics cards can be upgraded; this is one of the most expandable and upgradeable mobile systems we've ever tested.
As you'd expect from those specs, the system blew through our tests. Whether in CPU, graphics, or I/O-intensive tasks, it will run with all but the top overclocked, gaming desktop machines. Upping the resolution on our Call of Duty 4 test to 1920x1080 didn't even phase this system; it still delivered 191fps. The only test where it fell down was the battery drain test; we only made it through 30 minutes of a DVD before the battery gave up.
At 16.76x11.44x2.43 inches, the Panther's as bulky as it is heavy. All of that surface area, though, is put to good use. The keyboard is large, with a separate numeric keypad. There are two USB 3.0 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, FireWire, DVI, HDMI-out, and HDMI-in so you can play your Xbox on the big screen.
When we tested the Malibal Nine X7200 built on the same platform (Holiday 2010), we gave it a Kick Ass award. The Panther 2.0 has even more impressive specs, easily earning the award. Its size, weight, and limited battery life make it appropriate for only a small subset of users, but its performance and flexibility define a new class of mobile gaming systems.

Hornets Are Trash!
Implied Volatility replied to carolina-chuck2's topic in Charlotte HornetsThey're half a game behind the 8th seed despite dealing with more injuries to key players than I can count. This team is now close to full health - just imagine if they had MKG all season - and look like they could have a strong 2nd half. But of course Chuck decides now is a great time to be an attention whore and throw the team under the bus.

Hornets vs. Bulls
Implied Volatility replied to JJman Returns's topic in Charlotte HornetsI'd rather keep Lamb coming off the bench if we can. It could be difficult for him to find a rhythm playing alongside Kemba and Al in the starting lineup. I like the second unit of Lin, Lamb and Zeller.

The WRINGER project was an intelligence operation of the US Air Force (USAF) in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It was designed to gain information of military value on the Soviet Union through systematic interviewing of German prisoners of war repatriated from there.
The following is mainly based on an article by James Erdmann, 1 a lieutenant colonel in the USAF intelligence establishment and later professor of history at the University of Denver. The piece was published in 1982 with permission of the USAF. In addition, I drew from articles by Robert Jackson 2 on post-war strategic Air Intelligence and Squadron Leader John Crampton 3 on RB-45 operations. Last but not least, my interpretation benefited from personal experience. Unfortunately, the volume on US air intelligence covering the WRINGER project is still classified. 4 Nevertheless, it can be established without doubt that the results of the WRINGER project were invaluable at the time both for the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and for an overall assessment of the Soviet Union. They filled an information gap that could not be bridged by existing means of air reconnaissance.
In August 1949, the Soviets detonated their first nuclear device near Semipalatinsk. The Soviet long-range bomber force was slowly building up a nuclear lift capacity based on the Tupolev Tu-4, a copy of the B-29. Although an attack on the USA by these planes would have been a one-way mission because of their lack of range, it was

'Mudder' events grow in popularity
Once, it was just a dream. Now, it's become an event, a potentially huge event for weekend warriors who want to test their strength, limits and grit.
Anticipation is building for the second annual WYLD Mud Run 5K on Saturday, June 29, at John A. Minetto State Park in Torrington.
There are 15 obstacles on the course that compel competitors to crawl through tunnels, scale a 10-foot wall and wade through water barriers and mud.
Dr. Michael Curi of Torrington, the race architect, warned that racers will definitely need to bring a change of clothes.
"I did fulfill my expectations with Tough Mudder events," said Curi. "There's been a groundswell of interest and enthusiasm in these type of events, and I felt it would be a perfect fit for this community. We were first ones in Connecticut to put this (type of event) on, and that is kind of cool."
This year's course is 3.8 miles. Most Tough Mudder events are between 10 and 12 miles. There were just under
See WYLD, Page 9B
500 competitors last year, and Curi is hoping for an equal amount or possibly more.
"Minetto State Park lends itself to using its natural organic beauty, and we're able to incorporate the terrain with the obstacles," said Curi. "The course this year is designed to be a little bigger and more challenging, and a lot more fun as well."
Torrington boys basketball coach Eric Gamari is all set for his second race.
"It presents a really good challenge, and I'm glad I signed up again," said Gamari, who finished in a time of 32:34 last year. "Some may think it's all running, but you can go 200 yards and then be faced with some obstacle. You do have a chance to catch your breath. You don't need to be in great exceptional shape, but you need to be in some shape."
Curi believes this year could be even better than the inaugural event.
"The postrace was probably the best part of the day," said Curi. "Everyone had a smile on their face, and everyone was high-fiving each other and comparing notes with people they didn't even know while they were on the line for hamburgers. There was such an excitement and energy."
Curi described the atmosphere before the race as akin to a title fight with everyone mulling around. Afterward, he recalled, it was sheer elation as people realized their goals.
"Even though it is a timed event, the ultimate goal is for people to have a shared experience and be able to bond," he explained. "You have people whom you didn't know and they are helping you get through this. It's spontaneous teamwork and enthusiasm recycling throughout the day."
Curi admitted this sport may not be for everyone.
"This is for anyone who is looking for a chance to face something big, dirty and tough," he said. "This is for someone willing to jump in with both feet first and start climbing, mucking and sprinting toward the goal."
Last year, Torrington native Scott Richnausky won the race in a time of 27:30. Curi was third overall in 28:22. The first female finisher was Brynn Lafferty in 29:37, just over two minutes off the winning pace. Justine Medic was the second female finisher at 32:19.
The race proceeds benefit the YMCA charitable services, which provides financial assistance to individuals and families who cannot afford membership and program fees. In 2012, the race generated more than $20,000, Curi said.
The registration deadline is Wednesday. For more information, contact Lauren Hazirjian of the Northwest Connecticut YMCA at 860-489-3133, Ext. 132, or register online at
"It's an awesome event, and to raise an assortment of money for a cause, too, makes for a win-win situation," said Curi.

Rob Weir's Doubt: MS Office 2007 ODF Compatibility?
A recent test shows that the promised Open Document Format (ODF) compatibility of Microsoft Office Service Pack 2 is far from it. At least table calculations in Excel SP2 demonstrate big problems when converting ODF values.
IBM colleague and standards activist Rob Weir tested compatibility of the free ODF documentation standard in different combinations with various office software. His conclusion: "This is a big step backwards." In a similar test beginning of March, Weir had come to more positive results, albeit with some recommendations, mainly because he had used the Sun plugin and Microsoft's own CleverAge to populate the Excel cells. In the meantime, Microsoft released MS Office 2007 SP2 that was supposed to support ODF.
So Weir tested again, this time with MS Office 2007 SP2 with integrated ODF support, and he wasn't too happy with the results. He writes in his blog, "Unfortunately this support did not fare well in my tests." Weir found that Excel SP2 stripped out formulas, leaving the previously saved values. He concluded, "In general, SP2 converts an ODF spreadsheet into a mere 'table of numbers' and any calculation logic is lost."
Even table formulas exported from Excel to ODF spreadsheets presented problems. "Excel 2007 SP2 does include spreadsheet formulas but places them into an Excel namespace. This namespace is not what OpenOffice and other ODF applications use... It isn't even the OOXML namespace."
Weir's disappointment contrasts sharply with his hopefulness two months ago. In his view, technical complexity can't be the problem: "Spreadsheet interoperability is not hard. This is not rocket science... To get this wrong requires more effort than getting it right. It is especially frustrating when we know that the underlying applications support the same fundamental formula language, or something very close to it...." He doesn't want to speculate whether this is accidental or intentional, but encouraged Microsoft to remove the code from SP2 that was the source of the problem. "... I cannot fail to notice that the same application -- Microsoft Excel 2007 -- will process ODF spreadsheet documents without problems when loaded via the Sun or CleverAge plugins, but will miserably fail when using the 'improved' integrated code in Office 2007 SP2."
MS Office will never be 100% ODF compatibleImagine if that happens ... and most business users start migrating to ODF for all future documents -- and then migrate to OO.org! Nope, MS would never do it.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206

A very interesting read.
This bit caught my eye.
"Yahoo! the Portal" wants to regain its former stature as "Yahoo! the Search Engine"
Interesting that we also seem to be seeing "Google the search engine" shifting toward "Google the Portal", what with the addition of Froogle.
So yes, I think a search war is a possibility, but I also think the Inktomi database needs a lot of expanding - although results aren't bad for generic terms I'd not go near it for specifics.
"Yahoo! the Portal" wants to regain its former stature as "Yahoo! the Search Engine"
That's because being a portal has yet to be proven to be a viable business model. One of the few pure Internet business models that has shown the ability to make real money is PPC.
Yahoo's 5% stake in Google, surely that would be worth $235 million.
That would put Google's value at $4.7 billion. That's almost 4 times Overture's market cap. That's a pretty significant premium over an established PPC engine. How do you come to that figure?
That's a pretty significant premium over an established PPC engine. How do you come to that figure?
As I said, I have nothing to back that up, but I would'nt be at all suprised if after an IPO its Mar Cap was that high. To my mind there would be the rush of mom and pa's investors similar to that of Telco's in the late eighties and early nineties.

If they have an IPO the pressure will be on to come out with all guns blazing like Chow Yun Fat.
You can bet that the pressure will be on Google to drive traffic to to Froogle etc. and monetize their various offerings beyong the basic search.

bear in mind there may shortly be a war
A war is the best thing that could happen to the economy, and to stocks in particular.
It's uncertainty that keeps investors on the sideline, and the longer we stay out of war the longer the economy will keep tanking. Of course, if there is a resolution apart from war then that would help too. But perhaps not with the same kick an all out war would have.
Disclaimer: I marched at the protest in Frisco this month. I don't approve of or advocate war.
I'm only stating the obvious truth that war increases consumption, that is, war uses up raw materials and equipment, and spurs manufacturing and technology which must be replaced and improved.
Economy 101. That's why investors love a good war: It spurs the economy.
This is a spin also spun by MSN and others - as a general principle that, repeated enough - people will start to belive it.
Paid inclusion may contribute to relevancy in some commercial topic areas, but I dont see any evidence in that it helps with informational or general searches, in fact more often then not, the very opposite.
This is a dangerous statement to let go unchallenged, no matter how qualified the nature of its presentation was.
>>(for example, do a search for "san francisco weather," and the actual forecast is embedded in the search results page).<<
Hopefully this "portal-thinking" may not continue to dominate the thinking. Why should I have to wait for the actual san francisco weather to load if i wanted something else - like historical data, research articles, song lyrics, or opinions on the weather. Providing useful search, as Google has proven, is sometimes about giving customers less, not more.
Totally agree. Yahoo is a pretty awsome source on informations/entertainment. But I think their killer app/trump card is Email. How many of you have yahoo email addressed that you check regularly? I have 4 that I check every day. I'm married to that site. In that sense, Google has the uphill climb.
Yahoo have been created with an nice idea of being everything for everybody on ther internet. If you look for all the services they offer, you can easily see that they are channeling their own traffic and keeping it for themselves. At Yahoo.com one can find *all* kind of info.. so if Google is gonna try to compete with Yahoo on being a portal, then it is going to be a real tough fight.

If Yahoo continues to improve search results then they may just edge Google out a tiny bit IMO. They offer alot of things that Google doesn't like news, weather, and chat.
On main reason to go to Google IMO, they don't offer that stuff + don't have annoying advertising. If you are looking for something, be it news, info or products you can find it at Google w/o all the clutter and distractions at YAHOO!
I would never use YAHOO! email after they reset their privacy preferences and decided they would sell out their users.
Just tossed YAHOO! messenger in the bin cause that thing was to often getting in the way when not in use.

What's going on at Pardee?
Published: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 17, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
When it comes to public records and public meetings, the exemptions for personnel matters under North Carolina law are wide enough to drive a semi-truck through.
Too often that poorly serves the people.
But when public confidence in a public institution is at stake, a governing body ought to be as open as possible.
That's the challenge for the Pardee Hospital leaders as they continue to sort through the turmoil of the CEO's departure and the resignation of the second-ranking executive.
The residents of Henderson County, who are not only the users of the hospital but also are its owners, have many questions about the departure of CEO Bob Goodwin. Four days after the board announced Goodwin was gone, the hospital's chief operating officer, Sandy Smith, announced her resignation.
Sources familiar with the situation told reporter Joel Burgess that Goodwin had resigned, then rescinded his resignation and demanded a severance package. We're now told that attorneys are working out the details, in secret of course. The final details will be taken up by the board, perhaps as early as today, also behind closed doors.
The North Carolina Open Meetings Law allows for closed meetings to protect attorney-client privilege. But the board, before going into closed session, must cite the exemption in the law that allows the closed-door meeting. Under the law, final action on an appointment or discharge must be made in open session.
The Pardee Board and its attorney, Sharon Alexander, have said there is no resignation letter from Goodman. As for final action after the July 29 closed session, the Pardee board says there was none.
No resignation. No board action to dismiss the CEO. No explanation. Surely Mr. Goodwin did not just vaporize.
Little wonder that County Commission Chairman Bill Moyer, the doctors on staff and the public are all demanding answers from the bunker of silence on Justice Street.
"The sooner they can make a specific statement, the better," Moyer, himself an ex officio board member, said last week. One might well question why Moyer doesn't tell what he knows. Apparently he feels bound by the agreement among board members (and the legal advice) not to talk.
Pardee Chairman Ron Stephens says the board is currently negotiating Goodwin's separation agreement and will disclose details when the matter is resolved.
"We owe the public all the information we can give them and we will comply with that," he said.
Stephens and others have deferred to counsel. It's Alexander's job to advise the board about an employee's right of privacy, and in this state the law supports that right.
But it's the board's responsibility to explain what is going on with the administration of the publicly owned hospital and to preserve its credibility and maintain its stability.
The taxpayers/owners, the patients and the many good doctors, nurses and support staff who serve at Pardee deserve no less.

text: I am in total agreement with Betty Cruz in regards that California should back Arizona's new immigrant law (Reader Input, May 14). It was just reported that more than 5,600 illegals pass over the border into Arizona per month. They are being overrun with illegals crossing the Mexican border, bringing with them drugs and lots of major crimes, overloading our law enforcement. It's about time someone does something to stop this raid on our country. Arizona is doing the right thing and California and other states should back them and make the same laws. The federal government has done nothing to correct this problem; therefore the states are forced to take action. The states should stop employers from hiring them by closing down their businesses and fining them if they are hiring these illegals. They are taking jobs from our citizens. Latest reports show that 70 percent of the citizens in the U.S.A. support the Arizona law. These illegals are overcrowding our schools and costing the taxpayers lots of money. Many go on welfare and are covered by us on their medical bills. Many of them have joined gangs and have committed many crimes and are overloading our law enforcement. It's long overdue that America should begin acting instead of only talking. Thank you, Arizona. FRANK WILSON, Auburn

90 points Robert Parker: "A classic, this 1998 combines elegance with lovely textured, rich flavors of black cherries and currants, resulting in a quintessential Bordeaux that is unlike any other wine produced in the world. The wine possesses an ethereal lightness, layers of fruit, and a diaphanous framework. More nuances appear with each sip. Tasters will find notes of blackberries, plums, currants, tar, spice box, and minerals. A beautifully etched wine, it will be at its finest between 2003-2017." (04/01)

text:
The former Ku Klux Klansman says he wants an "immediate investigation" because "the administration's rhetoric played upon the well-founded fear of the American public about future acts of terrorism," and such statements are "just sound bites based on conjecture."
Blix and Byrd sound a lot alike -- and one wonders if they're suffering from the same malady -- a detachment from reality. Part of that reality is that by the time Operation Iraqi Freedom was launched on March 20, 2003, it was, in the words of one of the Marines I interviewed outside of Baghdad, "the most telegraphed punch in military history."
Saddam Hussein had more than five months to destroy, remove or hide anything he wanted before U.S. and British troops arrived on his doorstep.
But even with all the time Saddam had to dispose of the evidence, there is still much that has been found to validate pre-war claims by the Bush and Blair administrations. In several live broadcasts on Fox News, I reported on the terror-bomb jackets, terrorist training manuals and large numbers of foreign terrorists at Salman Pak. I also showed the chemical protective equipment, atropine injectors and chemical warfare manuals that U.S. forces found in numerous places in Iraq.
Other embedded correspondents described trace elements of chemical agents in the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. A thoroughly cleaned bio-weapons lab, found by U.S. Army troops, matched the pre-war description offered by Secretary of State Colin Powell. Significant quantities of Castor beans have been found, which can be used, among other things, to produce ricin -- a deadly biological toxin.
The Blix & Byrd dynamic duo have allies in their effort to discredit the administration. U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., as part of his outreach to antiwar Democrats, called for "regime change" in the White House, and now insists that he, too, is the victim of a misinformation campaign orchestrated by President George W. Bush.
"He misled every one of us," Kerry claims -- as he backpedals from his vote in favor of using force to bring down Saddam. The Massachusetts liberal is joined in the attack by ex-Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich and Florida Sen. Bob Graham -- all hoping to punch holes in President Bush's approval ratings.
Those who seek advantage in trying to diminish the threat Saddam once posed to the United States -- whether it be for personal presidential ambitions or their upcoming memoirs -- may yet want to bite their tongues. This week, U.S. forces turned up more proof that Saddam continued to covertly pursue nuclear ambitions while Blix headed the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The evidence -- hardware and documents -- were found in the backyard of Mahdi Shukur Obeidi, an Iraqi scientist who was at the heart of Saddam's efforts to enrich uranium before the first Gulf War. While this "find" may not be the "smoking gun" critics are looking for, it underscores the belief that Saddam went to great lengths to hide, destroy or relocate his weapons before we arrived. Before we leave, it's more than likely we will find much more.

Every so often I read a book that reminds me that things weren't at all what they appear to have been in hindsight. James Zug's wonderfully written The Guardian: The History of South Africa's Extraordinary Anti-Apartheid Newspaper (Michigan State UP, 2007) is one such book. For years I studied and wrote about Russia and the Soviet Union. In that time, I came to think of communists as at best horribly misguided and at worst positively malevolent. Zug reminded me that in fact communists were on the right side of many issues that I hold dear. One of them, and the focus of The Guardian, was racism generally and Apartheid in particular. With a novelist's skill, Zug chronicles the activities of a remarkably brave group of South African leftists, fellow-travelers, and Party members who, through the pages of their newspaper and with their very lives, fought racism in South Africa when so many 'right-thinking people' stood by in silence. He doesn't sugar-coat the story, and never fails to point out when The Guardian's editors and writers were on the wrong side of an issue. But Zug saves them from being written out of history all together by broad-brushed dismissals of mid-century communism. Not only that, he tells a ripping tale. Please read this book.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) recently marked its first year in operation. Given the unusual structure of the CFPB — one that I believe reduces transparency and accountability — and the questionable manner in which its current leadership was put into place, diligent and constant Congressional oversight is badly needed.
Had Congress fulfilled its responsibilities in previous years in regards to such entities as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we might have avoided the recent financial crisis. As the CFPB runs the same risk of politicizing our consumer credits markets in a manner similar to which our mortgage market was so highly politicized, I believe aggressive congressional oversight is needed in order to both avoid future financial crises and to maintain a healthy economy.
The problem facing our housing market is a combination of weak demand and excess supply. One of the constraints on housing demand is mortgage availability. If one is a prime borrower and is able to make a substantial down payment, then mortgages are both cheap and plentiful. If one is not, then a mortgage is difficult, if not impossible, to get.

Sha Money XL
I know what you're thinking and no, this record isn't about veg memories (as in memories of vegetables), it's Veg Memories, as in the memories of the longstanding Queens emcee Ali Veg
as. Now that we've got that cleared up, we can move onto the title track's supremely soulful beat courtesy of Sha Money XL - bonus points to anyone who can name that sample - and Ali's always on point rhymes as he revisits hip-hop's age old music vs. hustling debate: "Rap sales could make me a Grammy Award winner / but these crack sales is how my family afford dinner." For even more musical reminiscing from Ali be sure to keep an ear out for his upcoming Veg Memories album, which is still awaiting a solid release date.
