Recently adopting WinZip 16 doesn't seem to have helped with the software's inability to utilize multi-core processors effectively. As such, Ivy Bridge's slight IPC advantage garners it another top finish, just ahead of the Core i7-3960X and -2700K. Fortunately, we have inside information that indicates WinZip's next incarnation will be more competitive.
More aggressive optimizations for parallelism give Intel's Core i7-3960X an edge in WinRAR, allowing it to reclaim the top spot, though the quad-core Ivy Bridge chip does manage to tie the £440 Core i7-3930K.
Let's not mince words, though. Core i7-2700K is just one second behind the new chip, and the £170 Core i5-2550K is just two seconds back. You certainly won't have much to complain about if saving some money is more important than waiting a couple of extra seconds for a folder full of files to compress.
Long known as the file compression/decompression utility in our suite best optimized for multi-core processors, 7-Zip puts both Sandy Bridge-E based CPUs in the lead, followed closely by Core i7-3770K.
The real loser here is Core i5, which sports four cores, but lacks Hyper-Threading, landing it in last place. AMD's Bulldozer-based FX-8150 fares better in the face of more aggressive threading, though it can't quite catch the Core i7-2700K.

0SSri , 24 April 2012 05:15Thanks for the pretty quick review. The HD 4000 may be a tempting factor for many low-end desktop users. High-end users are unlikely to switch to IB. Unless extensive future reviews show a different picture, Sandy Bridge would be the CPU for my high-end new build!
0HEXiT , 24 April 2012 06:154% on average is a pretty small performance bump from a dye shrink i was hoping that ivy was gonna be in the region of 10% but i guess a small bump is better than none. still not a big enough jump for me to give up my old i7 920... ah well maybe haswell will deliver.
0damian86 , 24 April 2012 08:48Well I think this will be improved in no-time, the guys are doing well in their new architecture and finding new ways to make the big jump. This is like testing, their stuff is good enough to get on the market and they can earn a lot of credits that will help them to keep working hard with new stuff.I really liked their quick sync thing.
I still don't know the negative points in including gpus in cpus.
1mi1ez , 24 April 2012 09:13US comp. You would think they could put that somewhere in the article.
2kaprikawn , 24 April 2012 20:03I'm personally very excited by Ivy Bridge. I'm not planning on replacing the first gen i5 in my gaming rig, I can't see the benefit. But I'm looking at replacing the Sempron 1100LE in my server with one of the low power i3 chips when they come out. For a computer that runs 24/7, power consumption and noise are fairly important to me for that machine. The Sempron and the low end i3 have similar TPD ratings, but there's a gulf of difference in performance.
1Anonymous , 25 April 2012 21:36An unlocked, "K" variant of the i3, or Pentium-G? That might get people excited...
-1K3v1n , 29 April 2012 16:53I'm happy with my FX-6100...Even if I had the money, I wouldn't upgrade it, except for maybe a 8150. This CPU is amazing, and no review on here or anywhere really does it justice. It handles every game i throw, I can convert a 6gb HD video to MP4 in 5 mins WHILE photoshop, and a game is running
0army_ant7 , 4 May 2012 06:45I still do wish that Intel offered a cheaper or more powerful CPU without the built-in GPU. It seems like a big waste of time, work, and die space (and maybe even money) for, esp. now, such a big GPU portion. But maybe from the business/profit-spending point of view, it really is better for Intel as a company to have GPU's built-in irregardless.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone else's thoughts on this.
0AndrewdAzotus , 7 November 2013 15:48I see and hear about the reasons for not upgrading from Sandy-bridge to Ivy-bridge, but I would be interested in pointers for someone who has not had a desktop for about 5 years but is now looking for a new architecture which will be as long lasting as possible so I can buy a good ($200-$300) motherboard and a cheaper processor with a view to upgrading all components (memory / graphics etc) on the motherboard as time and money permits. I'm thinking either 1150 or 2011 but would appreciate some general guidance

(WJLA) - With the holidays in full swing, gift giving seems to be on everyone's mind. But there is one unforeseen challenge for parents: What's an appropriate gift for the teacher?
"I'll occasionally talk to my friends to figure out what they're gonna do," says Susan Snare, a parent of a Thomas Jefferson Middle School student.
Snare says she supports a proposal that would put a cap on parents' spending on presents.
Since the fall, the Arlington school board has been working to make a vague gift-giving policy more concrete. In early October, the school board considered capping fits for teachers at $50 dollars. But, after meeting with community groups, school officials decided that number was too low. Now, they school board is grappling with a proposal to limit spending to $100 dollars.
"I think that number is fine," Snare says. "I don't think you want to have any more than that."
"These teachers give so much to our kids and I think every family expresses that in a different way," says Mary Smaragdis, also a parent at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. "Some people bake. Some people buy them gift cards, and so on."
Smaragdis says while she appreciates teachers, she admits for some families, $100 may be a little high.
"I think $100 is a pretty hefty gift, but it wouldn't bother me if someone thought they could give more and wanted to give more," she says.
The board will vote on the proposal December 19th.

Recently, I was contacted by two local women in need of help.
They found me through my column, and both needed some real help. I was touched that they asked me and struck by the fact that they, like me, were hard-working women just trying to provide for their families.
They had very different circumstances, but their stories were familiar and included divorce, homelessness and loss of job or caring for their parents. These women were facing problems that any of us could face. One minute you are living your life, and the next you are trying to survive day to day.
I have written about the problem of food insecurity before. It seems to be a problem that gets worse, not better. I wonder how many of you have ever checked the statistics in Johnson County.
How many people, our neighbors, our friends, maybe even our family, are struggling to make ends meet?
These women were searching for information, recipes and tips on how to feed their families on a shoestring budget. One also needed resources on how to make meals ahead and freeze them for later.
Now, I am by no means an expert, but I am a part of a network of food writers from all over the world, so I set about forming a plan.
I posted a blog on my website in which I asked my network of readers and other writers to link up their favorite budget and freezer recipes. I explained that for each post that was shared on my site at basilmomma.com, I would donate 1 pound of food to a Center Grove-area food pantry. My friends at Conagra Foods generously agreed to match my donation with one of their own to Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis.
This post has elicited a huge response from people trying to find a way to help. I bet we all have a few choice recipes in our hip pocket that we depend on from time to time that we can share, such as a time-saving tip or great make-ahead dinner. As of today, I have almost 100 recipes that have been added to the post. I could not be happier.
The posts run the gamut from dinner ideas to tips on drying herbs and freezing breakfast foods. I cannot thank everyone enough for sharing a little bit of their wisdom with my readers.
Hunger knows no season, but it seems as if there is always a push to donate around the holidays. I can see why. Busy parents are focused on trying to give their families a special day, and grocery shopping can fall by the wayside. What better way to help out in an easy way than to share recipes and tips. That's the least that I can do.
Today, I am sharing a recipe with you all that not only costs less than $15 but also is tasty and kid-friendly. Feel free to substitute ingredients to suit your tastes and budget. This pizza burger literally tastes like a slice of pizza on a bun. I added sauteed onions, mushrooms and green peppers to mine, but don't be afraid to make yours your own.
Remember: A budget meal also can be fresh, exciting and enticing. I hope that if you are looking for ways to add more wallet-friendly meals to your rotation that you take a second to visit this particular post. Not only will you maybe gain a few new recipes, but you will also see you are not alone.
We all need to help each other.

The Broken Land
By Ian McDonald
OPEN ROAD INTEGRATED MEDIACopyright © 1992 Ian McDonald
All rights reserved.
The Township
Grandfather was a tree.
Father grew trux, in fifteen colours.
Mother could sing the double-helix song, sing it right into the hearts of living things and change them. Around we go, and round ...
A house ran amok in Fifteenth Street the day the soldiers of the Emperor Across the River came to Mathembe's township. The sound of the armoured carriers in the streets of Chepsenyt frightened it. Split into its components it was a thing of little intelligence, easily frightened. One of the big, dazzle-painted metal machines had lurched to a halt across the end of Fifteenth Street and the house had panicked. Civilians and soldiers and house units like long hexagonal centipedes, or wheels, or domes on soft-running plastic treads, or concertinas with legs; all running around in the street, the civilians trying to round up the house units, the soldiers trying to round up the civilians.
The Rajavs had wanted to have the house reassembled by night. Now it did not look like they would ever find all the components of their home again. Mathembe shooed away a big, skittering thing like a walking umbrella that was making a dash for the trux pens. It would have alarmed the young organicals, sent them careering into each other, wheels spinning. The Rajavs were moving up to the Proclaimer end of town. Twelve generations had lived and died on Fifteenth Street, now they had packed their lives into five trux and disassembled their house into its components. They had been working since before the edge of the world dipped beneath the sun. Mathembe had been fascinated. She had never seen a house come apart before. Twelve generations, and now they were going. They did not care who knew the reason for their going. Intimidated out of their own homes: Mr Rajav shouted it in the streets for all to hear. Threatening letters, obscene notes, attempts to burn law-abiding citizens out of their own homes. The Ghost Boys. That was who were behind it. The Ghost Boys. Thugs, the lot of them. Louts.
It had not been much of a fire. A half-hearted bomb attack that had left a few scorch marks on the walls, soon cleaned off. Not even worth troubling the police in Timboroa over. Mathembe suspected her younger brother Hradu's involvement. He and Kajree Rajav had been friends until the Word of God had come from the tabernacle and Mr Rajav had forbidden his son to keep company with idolatrous Confessors.
They would go to their own kind, the Rajavs, they would stay not one moment longer among those they had always thought of as friends, always treated as good neighbours, and who all along had wanted them out, wanted their home burned and them dead, wanted the skins of every Proclaimer in Chepsenyt flayed and nailed to their front doors.
And now they were dashing about trying to round up the fleeing, panicked sections of their house.
The armoured carrier turned. Its metal tracks squealed dreadfully on the ceramic cobbles. It came down Fifteenth Street. Mr Rajav shouted at it to go back, go away, but the machine came on, so hard and pressing that the soft contours of the street barely seemed capable of containing it. Standing half out of a hatchway was a soldier in the black uniform of the Emperor Across the River. He was shouting but no one could hear what he was saying because of the people's voices shouting and the din of the engine. No soldier likes to go unnoticed. He swung the big black heavy machine gun on its mount so that it pointed upwards, fired. Five, ten, twenty shots. At the sound of the shots tearing the air apart the people fell silent and still. The pieces of dismembered house ran where they willed while the people listened to what the soldier had to say to them.
The Emperor Across the River required that all citizens of Chepsenyt township in the Prefecture of Timboroa present themselves at the town centre. Forthwith.
All citizens?
All citizens. Forthwith.
The soldier was very young. He had the pale hair and skin of the people from across the river. The long pale hair was tied back in the military fashion and fastened with a clasp bearing the symbol of the Emperor: a hand with a heart in its palm. He spoke the Old Speech grammatically enough for one not born to it, though his 'cross-river accent sent the inflections staggering hither and yon. The hands that rested on the black heavy machine gun seemed to Mathembe too young and soft for such devices. Tinny trebly music came from the open cockpit.
Mr Rajav, small and very very angry, stood before the hard metal face of the troop carrier and the soldier with the pale, soft hands.
'I am a loyal Proclaimer, a true subject of the Emperor, you cannot mean me, you cannot include me and my family with those of questionable loyalty.' He licked his lips with a tiny dart of the tongue, left and right, so; looked from side to side, so, as he said the words 'those of questionable loyalty'.
'All citizens,' the carrier commander said in his grammatically correct Old Speech. The carrier's engines blared into life. Black smoke puffed from exhaust ports. The vehicle came slowly down Fifteenth Street. Its squeaking tracks left ugly, regular scratches on the glass cobbles. Mr Rajav stood before it, small and very very angry. So angry and proud he could not see what Mathembe could see: that the carrier was not going to stop. Ten metres five metres three metres, then it was as if Mr Rajav had been touched with the illuminating wand of one of the Ykondé Saints. He saw the advancing carrier for what it was, an unstoppable irresistible wall of metal. He jumped to one side as the machine brushed past him. The soldiers of the Emperor Across the River within laughed. Mathembe could hear their laughter, and the loud dance music from their cockpit radio.
Mr Rajav was white and trembling. The street value of his loyalty had shocked him. The house units ran wild and capering down Fifteenth Street toward the paddies and orchards.
The people gathered at the Founding Tree; Confessors, and loyal Proclaimers. The Founding Tree was the heart and root of Chepsenyt township. From it had grown every house and garden and paddy, every shit beetle and glo-globe and ceramic cobble scratched by the tracks of the war machines of the Emperor Across the River. The tree had been planted uncounted thousands of years of dreaming ago when the Green Wave broke across the barren land and the Ahleles had gone striding out, covering whole prefectures in a single stride, calling out the heart-names, the cell-names of every living thing and binding them to their service. The Founding Tree stood, as befitted its legendary stature (though there was nothing much to look at, you had to see it with the eyes of faith) in a large, glass-cobbled square surrounded by half-dead half-bankrupt shops that sold nothing of any significance and cafés where the old people played their endless games of fili and got drunk and garrulous on bad wine.
Five armoured carriers were parked around the edge of the square. A young trux nuzzled up to one mistaking it for a syrup digester. Laughing, the soldiers drove the little mound of blue synthetic flesh away but it kept nuzzling back again. It was only content when one of the soldiers fed it a stick of chocolate. When all the people were gathered, Confessor and Proclaimer, an officer stepped forward. He was dressed in the black combat uniform of the Emperor's army. Beside him was a tall metal pole topped with a cross-bar. The cross-bar was wrapped in a cloth. When he was certain, quite certain, that every eye was fixed on him, the officer in black pulled a release cord. The wrapping came undone and fell to the ground.
A cry went up from the people in the porcelain square.
Fixed to a rack at the top of the pole were five heads.
They were long dead, those heads. Lips had shrunk away from gums. Eyes, hair had fallen out, the skin was shrivelled and leathery. Long dead, but still alive. The organicals clutching greedily to their severed necks maintained them. They were alive though dead, and they would speak.
This is what the heads said.
The heads said that they had been foolish and vain and proud in raising their hands against the righteous, fair and good government of the Emperor Across the River. They said that an eternity would not hold enough sorrow for how they had misled young men and women and incited them to insurrection against the Radiant Personage of the Emperor. They said forever would not be long enough to live out the guilt they felt for having caused the deaths of these fine young men and women. They asked the forgiveness of the people of Chepsenyt township. They begged the forgiveness of the Emperor Across the River. Most of all, they craved the forgiveness of those they had so vilely misled under the banner of the Warriors of Destiny.
When the heads had spoken, the officer in black took down the pole and wrapped the heads in their cloth. The soldiers woke themselves, woke the engines of their carriers and one after the other drove away through the narrow streets and closes of Chepsenyt, tapping their fingers to the music on the cockpit radios.
'My God,' Mathembe's Father said at the table when the world had risen above the sun and the glo-globes hovering in the corner of the room had stirred and turned on their cool yellow light. 'My God, it would almost make you want to join the Warriors of Destiny, it would.'
Mathembe's Mother gave her husband a look that warned against saying such things in front of Hradu. It was the impressionability of the young that had led so many into the Warriors of Destiny and to eternity as heads on poles. Impressionability, and the idealism of youth.
'Still,' Mathembe's Mother said, 'they did not have to do that; not that with the heads, that was barbaric. Inhuman. They try to teach us that the way of the empire is more civilised than the ways we have lived for four thousand years, and they put heads on poles. They did not have to do that. They were wicked and stupid people,' (this, for Hradu, chewing his food absently, round-eyed with fascination: his parents talking sedition) 'but they did not have to do that. It would have been enough to have sentenced them to servitude. Maybe for a long time, maybe twenty, maybe fifty years, but not to do that.'
Mathembe rapped the back of Hradu's hand with her spoon for he had grown so enrapt in the conversation that he had forgotten to chew and the food was dribbling from his mouth. She remembered the time when there had been a public absolving in Founding Tree Square. Her parents had not thought it a suitable spectacle for a young girl—it had been years before puberty—but she had taken herself surreptitiously along and lost herself in the crowd. There had been the Town Procurator in his sash of office, and a State Executor who had come down from Timboroa on a government traix. It was clearly an event of some import: Chepsenyt's snack vendors and tea sellers had left their established pitches to patrol the edge of the crowd. There were scuffles between them as they vied for customers.
A reverent hush fell as the victim and convict entered the square. The case was a celebrated one. The convict had been found guilty of rape and had been sentenced by the court at Timboroa to the organical service of his victim until such time as she forgave him. Mathembe's Father remembered the case. He had been of the same generation as victim and culprit when the crime had taken place. He had known them both. Now, after fifteen years serving the woman he had raped, fifteen years working in her plantations and paddies as a gardener-organical, the rapist was to be forgiven.
The Procurator read aloud the declaration of forgiveness. The woman assented. The State Executor went to the tall, spindly gardener-organical, all legs and arms and fingers and eyes and did something that Mathembe could not quite see because the crowd all pushed forward for a better look. She had tried to press through, press through the tight-pressed bodies and the craning necks and the voices asking What's going on what's happening can you see? and when she pressed to the front she saw a ball of tangled floss, like a silken cocoon within which a dark, not-quite-human shape moved. The sun had crossed the sky, the vendors had traded their teas and wines and snacks. When Mathembe was quite sure that nothing was going to happen and was about to go home, the silk cocoon had torn, ripped, from top to bottom, and a man tumbled out onto the glass cobbles, naked and wrinkled and far, far more than fifteen years older than when he had been changed in that same square into an organical.
She remembered the way he had looked at his hands, as if they were friends he had not seen for many many years.
'Pray God you never get sentenced to serve a Proclaimer,' the voice on her right hand had said. 'They never forgive.'
She thought about that naked man kneeling dumbfounded on the cobbles as her parents hid away the true extent of their outrage at the speaking heads for fear that their children might see it. He might have been her father, that naked, kneeling man.
After the meal she went to visit her Grandfather. He had been dead almost a year but still was not fully absorbed into the Ancestor Tree. Her Grandmother (little more than a single, sunlit memory of an old woman shaping birds from plasm and setting them humming and flapping around the conservatory), had been drawn into the Dreaming in less than a half-year, so Mathembe's Mother said. The old Grandfather had always been a bad-tempered, stubborn, feisty spirit.
His death was widely believed to have been an act of political defiance when the New Namers came to Chepsenyt township in the early spring of the previous year. You would not have thought such grey, drab little people capable of the disruption they were to unleash upon Chepsenyt. You would not have thought as you saw them walking from street to street, house to house, pointing and writing things down in their recorders that they would take away the names of everything, the ancient names, warm and familiar from hundreds of generations of usage, from the people's mouths and give them dry, lifeless streams of meaningless syllables in their place.
As part of the ongoing process of the cultural assimilation of Mathembe's land into the wider civilisation of the Empire, New Speech, the language that the Emperor in his Jade City used for his love-making and his law-giving, was to be given equal status with Old Speech. It was intended that, through proper education, Old Speech would become obsolete and be replaced by New Speech, thus tying the Transfluvial provinces indissolubly into the greater life of the Empire. To this end, Inspectors, trained linguists all, were despatched the length and breadth of the land to change the cumbersome phonemes of Old Speech into syllables that sat comfortably on the tongue of the Emperor and his governors.
The New Namers, those grey men and grey women, had come in their soft, grey mechanical car with its Imperial crest and its pall of choking vapours and would hardly have been noticed in Chepsenyt save that where it went spreading its black foul-smelling fumes the names of the houses and gardens and closes changed, only by a vowel here, a consonant there, a diphthong elsewhere, a glide vowel shifted, a glottal stop modulated to make them pronounceable to tongues conditioned to New Speech until in the end, when the grey car drove away up the road to Timboroa, there was no township of Chepsenyt, no closes or gardens or streets or houses, only a pile of names that sounded like the names they had worn since the Green Wave broke across the land but which were totally without meaning. Nonsense names. Babblings.
The coming and going of the New Namers was one of the few events that united Confessors and Proclaimers. The new name-plates in curvilinear Imperial that went up on the road into Chepsenyt vanished the same night they were erected: the work, so the township gossips had it, of an unholy and unique alliance between the Confessor Ghost Boys and the junior members of the Proclaimer Spirit Lodges. Advocate Kalimuni, the Filelis' neighbour and prominent in the Proclaimer community, wrote in his official capacity to the Prefect of Timboroa protesting on behalf of the loyal Proclaimers of Chepsenyt whose rights and cultural heritage as a distinct and unique grouping were being eroded without regard for one thousand years of history. Though fluent in both tongues—New Speech was the language of the law and the courts—Dr Kalimuni wrote the letter in Old Speech. It was a very beautiful letter. Dr Kalimuni was considered one of Chepsenyt's finest ideographers.

It's in the bag, so don't risk the election after this
- From: Herald Sun
- May 08, 2013
ANOTHER week and the clown show called the Gillard Government loses another billion dollars and breaks three more promises.
Conclusion: Tony Abbott should worry less about the next election and more about the one after. He risks paying too much - take his absurd parental leave scheme - to win what is his already.
The next election is in his bag and this week Prime Minister Julia Gillard just tied the string.
Last week Gillard, already widely regarded as a liar after the "no carbon tax con", broke her promise not to increase the Medicare levy to pay for her disability package.
On Monday she broke her promise to pay poorer families a family tax benefit increase of up to $600 a year.
And yesterday she broke her promise to pay tax cuts from 2015 as compensation for her carbon tax.
Next week will come the broken promise that explains the last three: a Budget that will deliver not the surplus promised at the last election, but Labor's sixth straight deficit.
Four weeks ago, Treasurer Wayne Swan warned the Budget had been hit with a "sledgehammer". The Government had foolishly expected a huge 11 per cent rise in taxes this year - and spent the lot - but Swan confessed it had to settle for $7.5 billion less than it predicted in October.
But only two weeks later, Gillard confessed: "Treasury now estimates that this reduction will increase to around $12 billion by the end of the financial year."
Last Tuesday Finance Minister Penny Wong came up with a third figure: "The impact in the current financial year ... is in the order of $17 billion."
Are these people just plucking numbers from a dartboard?
In fact, to Gillard's $12 billion Wong had added $4 billion lost before the October revision - but also another $1 billion that mysteriously went walkies over the past fortnight.
But what's a mere billion when Labor has already blown about $200 billion more than it has raised in its great spending binge?
No wonder so few voters trust a thing Gillard promises, even when she's offering things they like.
This week's Newspoll proved it: three-quarters of voters backed her disability scheme, yet Labor's vote after preferences sank to 44 per cent, to the Coalition's 56 per cent.
It seems people thought Gillard's plan too good to have her stuff it up.
For the Coalition there are suddenly two choices. The first is to keep throwing everything into winning this election. That appeals most to Abbott, on the pessimistic side of humble.
And, true, a huge win gives him the slim chance of snatching the Senate control he needs to scrap the carbon tax without calling another double dissolution election.
But then there is the Coalition's other choice: to look to winning the 2016 election as well, by doing nothing to win in September that will hurt its chances the election after.
Those choices clash, as we see with the Liberals now quarrelling over Abbott's parental leave promise. His mega-entitlement program will cost at least $4 billion a year to pay women up to $75,000 in salary replacement for six months while they have a baby.
It is a promise made to win this election, not the next.
Abbott swears his scheme simply represents his commitment to a principle, but it is also just what he needs to counter Labor's lie that he is a woman-hater. Other Liberals - such as backbenchers Alex Hawke and Dennis Jensen - rightly argue it is a luxury at a time of deficits.
As shadow treasurer Joe Hockey (publicly a supporter of Abbott's scheme) says: "The cupboard is bare."
Paying off the Government's massive deficits - just as the mining boom cools - would mean a "winding back of universal access to payments and entitlements from the state".
BUT here's the dilemma. Spelling out those cuts would hurt the Liberals at this election, while not getting a mandate for them will hurt the Liberals at the one after.
It is likely that the election expected in 2016 will focus on how an Abbott Government coped with what seems likely: a fall in prices for our minerals, a fall in mining investment and a fall in the rate of growth in exports to China. So winning then depends on Abbott doing everything to kickstart the economy from the minute he wins in September - not least to generate the taxes he'll need desperately.
That means doing what he's promised: cutting spending, red tape and public servants and dumping the carbon and mining taxes.
But it also means doing things he has not yet specifically promised: dumping the renewable energy target, dismantling many workplace laws hurting productivity, scrapping all global warming schemes other than research, cutting company tax and more.
It means slashing spending so hard that even the ABC bleeds and bye-bye, too, to Abbott's $4 billion maternity leave scheme.
All that would also mean Abbott confessing now (ouch) to what he'll do then.
The question is: does he want one big election win or two?
Have your say

Two 14-year-old Clark County boys were rescued Sunday night from Lacamas Creek in Camas after they ventured down a steep bank, then could not get back up.
"People get stuck down there," said Camas Fire Battalion Chief Larry Larimer.
A team of 13 firefighters and paramedics used a low-angle rescue system because, Larimer said, "There's just no good way to get people up.
"We had rescuers rappel down to them. We put them (the boys) in harnesses and used a rope-pulley system, using trees as anchors," Larimer said of the effort near Round Lake.
The boys were reported in trouble about 6:12 p.m. and the rescue was made shortly after 8 p.m. An ambulance was waiting when the boys reached the top.
Larimer said one boy had been waist-deep in the creek and the other was on the bank. "There are both well and just a little chilled," he said. "They were grateful and just looked kind of sheepish."
Lacamas Park has a six-mile network of trails, including primitive paths. The popular Lacamas Park trail runs from Third Avenue to Everett Street in Camas.
Larimer said firefighters are often called, usually in the summer, to help get people out of that spot.
Larimer said fire departments from Vancouver, District 6 and Washougal responded, as did Camas police.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Designed for long-distance runners in need of pronation control, the Salomon Women's XR Crossmax Guidance CS Trail Running Shoe helps you feel the freedom of your favorite trail. A highly engineered midsole and outsole work together to keep your strides on target, while ClimaShield upper and ContraGrip outsole remain ready for those slick and soggy sections of trail.

- Triple-density EVA in the midsole reduces the constant impact, while an OS Tendon structure keeps your foot from twisting in unhealthy ways
- Mud, slick rock, and fresh snow are no problem thanks to a combination of non-marking Mud & Snow ContaGrip, ContaGrip LT, and ContaGrip HA rubber in the outsole
- A breathable mesh upper and TPU toe cap help you master the trail, even if it's gravel
- Sensifit outer design uses a one-pull Quicklace system to ensure the shoe wraps tightly around your foot and doesn't move throughout your many miles on the trail
- Ortholite footbed cradles your foot with shaped foam and an EVA heel cup for additional impact absorption

Great shoe
Make sure to size down by half a size (I went from 7.5 to 7). These shoes are super hot because they are not well-vented so they do cause blisters if you don't wear a good sock, preferably one with a mesh upper and no seams. I did get blisters on the first few runs with these because my feet sweat so much in them. I wish they were more ventilated, but these are the only Salomon's with pronation control. If you have a tendency to overpronate, these will be your best friend. Very stable.
second pair
I just received my second pair. My first pair lasted from the end of May to late August and they were the ONLY pair of shoes I took on a month-long tour of Europe. I am a 53 year old runner who overpronates and has notoriously troublesome knees. I use corrective orthotics, but I walked all over Europe in these shoes and found them more comfortable without my orthotics. Last week I put the orthotics in and went for a 6 mile run without knee pain. These shoes do run large and my new pair is half size smaller than the originals. They also tend to retain heat more than some of my other running shoes, but with good socks I've had no blisters. My feet and rickety legs like these shoes.
Too roomy
I really wanted to like these shoes, but the fit was way too roomy for my foot. I have not encountered this problem with any other running shoe. I had the laces tied as snug as possible and I could still slide them off my feet without untying them! Too bad, they looked really cool!
Agreed Same issue.
XR Crossmax - Door to Trail
I bought a pair of Salomon's because I remember using a friends during a trail run and I loved the way they felt. I probably should find out what model they were because these were definitely not it.
The shoe seems very heel heavy and I got blisters within the first 5 minutes of running in them. I don't think its a design issue I think it just has to do with too much arch support for my feet. Also I my friend was a guy so it was a men's shoe. So I guess I'll have to find a store that sells Salomon. I love the brand. I was in love with the shoe I got to wear, but this one is not for me.
Great shoes
Really good support and look good too. Toe box is roomy so my toes don't feel squished. Fit beautifully and true to size

Those of us that are seasonal passholders would be blacked out the 19th. It's a scam to get people to pay.

Posts from Farmers' Market Report
Look! Red Walnuts
In October when I got to tour the walnut harvest in California with the California Walnut Board, I was in the offices of Growers Direct Nut Company. They had a color poster on the wall showing all the different varieties of walnuts that grow in California, and two varieties were red. I had no idea that walnut meats could be red! Anyway, last Saturday at the Alemany Farmer's Market, I was thrilled to discover one of the vendors selling red walnuts!
Fresh and Local: Tempe Farmers Market
Tempe, Arizona
When Daryle Dutton's local food co-op was shut down to make way for high-rise condos, he and his neighbors found themselves having to get in the car and drive 30 minutes just to pick up a tomato for dinner. With the goal of bringing fresh, local food back to the community, Dutton opened Tempe Farmers Market, a new indoor market in downtown Tempe, Arizona. We stopped by last week to check out the store and pick up some regional specialties.
Apple Orchard & Pumpkin Patch: Any Farm Visits This Fall?
The fall is perhaps the one time of year we get ourselves out to a farm. Autumn is prime time for farms, what with all the apple-picking, pumpkin patch, and corn maze fun to be had. Did you go and visit a farm this fall? If so, where did you go?
Pumpkins, Persimmons, & Pomegranates (& Costumes!)
Joshua Tree, California
On Saturday mornings, nestled into the foothills of the Mojave desert, the Joshua Tree farmers' market welcomes everyone from free-spirited locals to military base families, park rangers, and tourists. We paid a visit to the market last Saturday, picked up some gorgeous persimmons, pomegranates, and other fall gems, and soaked up the friendly, community-oriented vibe.
Chestnuts, Pumpkins, and Wild Mushrooms At San Rafael Farmer's Market
It was a beautiful day at the San Rafael Farmer's Market last Sunday. Some late summer produce was still around, such as squash blossoms, berries, tomatoes, and peppers, but it's fading fast. Coming in quickly were the fall items such as walnuts, pumpkins, and fresh olives.
A Purple Theme at the San Rafael Farmer's Market
Last weekend at the San Rafael Farmer's Market, one color stood out: purple! From grapes to carrots to cauliflower, I saw this regal color everywhere. Not that I'm complaining; it is one of my favorite hues! It was just so interesting to see it in places I didn't expect to. After the link are relevant recipes for the items photographed.
Irresistible! Mini Pumpkins
Hollywood, California
We've always gone for the bigger, more impressive pumpkins at the Hollywood farmers' market, but this year we're utterly charmed by all the minis on sale throughout the market. Perhaps it's because we realized we can actually eat mini pumpkins, not just decorate with them...

As an editor who has worked for a number of digital presses, royalty only payment, while common, is not good if the goal is to earn money.
I've worked for a few places that paid a flat rate of $200 per book and others who have a set fee per book but will pay part in cash upon completion of editing and the other part at release and those who pay part in cash at completion of editing and the rest in royalties up to a certain amount and those who pay only in royalties. I know I'm preaching to the choir here when I say that for all the hours spent on those books (and I NEVER sacrifice my quality standards), I made pennies. When I did that job, I was new but it didn't take me long to realize my effort, time and talent are worth more. The other payment plans aren't great but the presses aren't New York either as far as money, and I'm okay with that. It's at least something until I decide if I want to do this full time (I have a fabulous day job) and make the leap to New York or big commercial presses.
Over the years, I've worked with editors who most definitely do not work as hard for royalties than they would if paid a flat fee or even partial. Or if they start out strong, when they start seeing what is actually coming in, they either leave if they are good or stay. He thinks he's going to make $15,000 per book? Did I really read that? In the past six years in all the houses I've worked with, only a handful have come close and over. Guess how much the editor saw? $150.00 ($75 up front and up to $75 in royalties).
I'm sure editors will respond. Likely they will be inexperienced/new, use that editing experience to get some work under their belts then go off and offer services as freelance editor (I know several who did just that) or move on to bigger, better paying houses.
It's a risk publishers who only pay royalties have to take. That business plan usually results in high turnover with editors or the editors who stay may be serviceable but not ones who have high quality standards. Now, before someone beats me up , I fully recognize, as I know a number of these types of editors as well, there are reasons for staying such as they love what they are doing and don't need to worry about the money and are happy with what they get. They can be strong editors and perfectly content. I know some of them too.
However, for someone like me, who wells knows their value, I'll never take another position for royalties only. My work and time means much more to me than that.
An Old Hack, if an editor is not renewed or quits, in most of the presses they get nada. No more money. I've only heard of one press, and the name escapes me, that continues to pay editors royalties when they no longer work for the house. Most quite clearly state in agreement no more payments if editor quits or contract not renewed.
I wish Travis luck in finding (and keeping) good editors.

The Yankees are going A-Rod-less for Saturday's game after the third basemen was hit by a ball during batting practice.
Rodriguez has a bruise on his lower leg near the base of his shin, the Yankees said. He is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox.
He is scheduled to undergo X-rays.
Rodriguez, who hit career homer No. 600 on Wednesday against Toronto, was hit near third base when Lance Berkman's lined a hard grounder more than two hours before the start of the game.
Rodriguez walked toward a protective screen in short center field and was down on the ground for a couple of minutes while medical personnel attended to him.
He was able to walk off the field on his own.

I'm thinking of buying a new frame for a purpose-built commuter, urban warrior, all-rounder bike.
Here's what I'm thinking it should have:
braze-ons front and rear for fenders
clearance for at least 28c tires with fenders
drilled for brakes front and rear (even if I only use the front)
track fork-ends
braze-ons for a rack would be nice as well, but not required.
Of course, if money were no object, I'd just have Waterford or IF build one for me. But, since I'd like to have enough cash left over to buy a new wheelset as well, I'm pretty much limited to a production frame.
What do you think?

The last few days have been filled with news on Kobe Bryant, highlighted by his 43 point performance at a Drew League game Tuesday afternoon, so it's no surprise to see he's the subject of the newest installment of The Triangle. This week, I'm joined by ESPNLA's Ramona Shelburne, as well as 710 ESPN's Mark Willard. The questions on the table:
How healthy and effective does Kobe need to be this season-- we're assuming there will be one-- for the Lakers to again reach championship form?
Is Kobe still capable of hoisting a team on his back through a playoff run? (I say no, at least not purely as a scorer, because it's so much harder for him to generate easy points at the basket at this point in his career. But if the Lakers need a superhuman performance from Bryant in next spring's postseason, they're not going to win, anyway. It takes a village, and the villagers were lacking last season against the Hornets and Mavs. This isn't specific to Kobe. For any team, asking one guy to carry the load through four rounds against the NBA's best isn't a winning formula. Dallas got it with Dirk Nowitzki, but a) he did have help, and b) it's the clear exception to the rule. Stars need to be stars, but can't go it alone.)
Based on what we've all seen so far this offseason, do you expect Kobe to play the 2011-12 campaign in good health?

"Miles of beautiful beach on Padre Island" Padre Island by 807Wheaton
Padre Island Travel Guide: 25 reviews and 78 photos
We flew into San Antonio from Augusta, Georgia on Delta. We got our rental car and drove down to Corpus Christi and on through a strip of hotels to Padre Island which is still a sleepy coastal area - still rather "undiscovered".
That was probably the most surprising and the best part of our three day stay there.
There are not many places to eat on "the island" as the locals call it.
A few new hotels have opened and there are Condos here and there.
There is camping at the National Seashore.
- Pros:A Sleepy coastal area - a nice natural area
- Cons:Not a lot for young children to do here for entertainment
- In a nutshell:A nice place to enjoy some undisturbed beach area

I always wanted to get there, but never made it on my 20+ trips to Texas. Too far south for the trip. Maybe when I get back in college, I can enjoy the partying down there.
I enjoyed the information about what you learned from the park ranger. It sounds like a walking trip with a ranger is well worth the time.

Additional Information
About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
