Well, I got my butt to the health club and did 45 minutes on the treadmill. Tonight will be three miles of slow movement with the Primal Pooch, possibly Grokette will join me for the migration.
Morning all,
80/20 night last night... I decided to kick back and relax after losing almost 100 pounds (99 as of last saturday) so I had some Rum, and well a bit of clouded judgement and a couple of ounces of Corn Chips and Potato Chips...
Grok was laughing at me from the corner of the room and we agreed, that it wasn't the best idea in the world...
This morning when I woke up to the birds... hang over and all I am back on the wagon and back into primal...
Well, progress not perfection... 80/20 and all... So not kicking myself but need to get off my butt and migrate over to the health club and do a 45 minute walk on the treadmill. Then tonight, my wife and I might go hunting wild books at the local library, so we will go from our camp into the wilderness of Downtown and stalk the library.
My personal rule is at if the place I want to go is within a 2.5 mile radius of my house its in the prime migration area. If we can walk it we do so.... I am getting a wagon so we can migrate to the grocery and migrate back home with the spoils.
Well, I got my butt to the health club and did 45 minutes on the treadmill. Tonight will be three miles of slow movement with the Primal Pooch, possibly Grokette will join me for the migration.
Well no more than a little worse for wear. The day went off without a hitch and no real cravings due to the carb fest last night.
No real hunger either... just finished up 5 ounces of Salmon that was smoked on the grill MMmmmmm love smoked meat...
Will have something just before bed, I think.
Sounds like you're doing pretty well. Hang in there!

My primal journal
Today I am dealing with body image issues. You would think that I would be happy with a 100 pound weight loss. But today I looked in the mirror and the only thing I could think was "WTF when will the belly go away?????!!!" I think I have 20 pounds of fat hanging in front of me still and I get discouraged.
I was thinking skin removal, but I decided after reading about Unconquerable Dave on this site that I would do the primal fitness and see if I could get the skin to shrink naturally.
Anyhow, sorry to be a whiner... cause when you think about it 100 down is a pretty awesome thing.
Hey i totally know the feeling I started at 502 and my skin is doing well but not what i want to see. I have days when i curse the moon and the sky and the sun for blah blah blah, howevver inmy more lucid days i realize that you play the hand you were dealt to the best of your ability. that is that.

Since going LC / Primal (16 months ago) my allergies have been much better. I don't have to use the medications that I used to have to use. This is another plus to this type of eating.
Another plus, is my dandruff isn't as bad as it used to be.
I wonder what else this thing gets rid of...
TMI - when I eat like this my Sex Drive is through the roof Not bad for a 47 year old dude...
I want to take a nap, but I am work...

Very comfortable shoe. The size in womens is perfect. I've been wearing this shoe for a long time. So glad I am able to get the womens because I was wearing the men's. My feet are very narrow and the sizing is perfect. Thanks Adidas! ... read more
i loved the pattern - it was very fashion forward. however, the material was so stretchy that it felt more like a sock attached to the sole. unfortunately i need more support on the sides when i run. was worried my toe would puncture the fabric within weeks. i recommend this product for others but not for my particular need. ... read more
I love love love these shoes. They are smaller than the picture makes them look, but in the best way possible. they are extremely comfortable, much like walking on memory foam. the arch support is outstanding. Two things that did not bother me but might be a problem for others: 1.) the mesh is very thin. if you are looking for a shoe to wear in the winter, this is probably not for you 2. the back does come up very high. i can definitely see how this might be problematic/a cause for blisters for some people. i have a pretty arched tendon back there so it's not a problem at all for me. Another thing to note, the bottom mesh is not connected to the sole in the middle. this is not a problem at all it's just not something i noticed before purchasing. (Also the aglets are pink and blue) Overall, this is probably my favorite sneaker i've ever purchased. i looove these shoes! ... read more
The product is good if you wear them after a work out/game, etc. For me , I find that once my feet have recovered from my sports/training, they actually start digging in to the bottom of my foot and starts to hurt. ... read more
It is way beyond my expectation! It is so light and weightless! At the very beginning, I was thinking about my shoes size because I'm afraid it doesn't fit me( Thank god adidas provided free return). But when I received the shoes, the size is perfectly match! and it looks really nice than the picture. I've no regret for purchasing this training shoes! #adigirls ... read more
15 yr old got blisters on back of ankles, she wanted to see if she could get used to but the shoe ripped within 2 weeks just wearing around school so we sent it back. Sad because she loved them and would've been comfortable besides blisters, they just come up to high in the back. ... read more
I've gotten compliments from every one who has seen my shoes! Great for standing, walking, running, training, and more! Your ankles will be red and irritated for the couple times you wear them. But band-aid definitely helps! ... read more
I have been looking for months for new shoes for Zumba class. As an instructor I needed something that was comfortable and supportive. After purchasing two other popular brands only to find that they were not supportive enough I was pleasantly surprised and excited at how great these felt during class. I normally wear an 8 to 8.5 depending on the shoe. I bought the 8.5 and found it a little big so next pair will be an 8. I do use my own insert as I have high arches and require extra arch support but LOVE these! Thank you Adidas! ... read more
So happy with my purchase! They are so comfy it feels like I'm slipping on a pair of socks on my feet not sneakers. They are true to size and stretchy for extra comfort due to the knit material. Probably ideal to keep these prettys away from puddles and general wet weather. ... read more
Ordered my normal size (8) and they were slightly big so returned and got 7 1/2 and they fit perfect. I've heard adidas run a tad big so I will keep that in mind for future buys. Really comfortable shoe but does tend to rub my heel. Wouldn't recommend them to run in. I just bought them for style not functionality. ... read more
These trainers are the best! I love the fit, the colors are exactly as shown. The feeling of a snugly-fitting sock is amazing - like wearing slippers in the gym. The floating arch is such a nice touch and the feeling is great - your foot is never 'hanging' in the air, it is supported 100% of the time, regardless of the motion you are performing. All in all - my best purchase so far. ... read more
I loved the design in pictures but the shoe feels cheap for costing over $100. Flimsy laces. Hard feel sole, no cushiness. Opening the narrow top to put your feet in doesn't give and the leather material just feels cheap. ... read more
The shoe is well-made. I have 2 pairs of Adidas flip flops that I bought at a non-adidas store several years ago and they fit perfectly. Unfortunately the 2 pair I just bought have a different cut on the sole making them very narrow. If you have wide feet, I would avoid them. ... read more
Review after day 1: My foot is a bit wide and flat, so it hangs a little over the arch area and I could feel it. I put in an arch support and it fixed the problem. The shoe is light and comfy, and the bounce technology made it feel like I was running on a mattress and not the treadmill. This shoe is also so cute that I am definitely going to wear it outside the gym. ... read more
After practice, my feet need a little something to relax and breathe. They may be uncomfortable the first two days, but if you are on your feet for a long period, you'll be grateful you bought them (: ... read more
These are excruciatingly painful, I don't even know how they got to market. I was looking for some comfy slides to run errands and lounge in after work, and was drawn in by the massage description. The nubs are hard as rock, I thought they would be flexible rubber but wearing these feels like walking on gravel. Maybe if you have extremely thick soccer/softball socks on it might be bearable, but definitely not with bare feet. Returning and ordering another style with no nubs. ... read more
I was really sad because after only wearing two times the material on the prime knit on the toe box of the shoe stretched. I didn't even snag it and now it just looks really ugly because there is a big HOLE from the prime knit material and very noticeable because the shoe is white (probably wouldn't be so bad on a dark shoe like black. Very upsetting for a $180 shoe. ... read more
Just received these slides, but will have to exchange for smaller size. Extremely comfortable, but run large and are quite wide. I am typically a size 8.5, 9, and ordered a 9. My feet are swimming in these sandals. Hoping a size 8 will be a better fit. Would suggest sizing down, as noted in other reviews. ... read more
I own 3 pairs of these shoes. I love my first 2 pairs that have more of the cloth type material. It stretches just enough but fits my foot like a glove. My 3rd pair I don't really care for. The top is the mesh material. It is to stretchy and my foot feels like I have zero support on the sides. I love the elevated arch and boost. I feel like I'm walking on air. I wish they would put some piece of support at the toes because when I where them to the gym my feet slide forward with circuit training. I know there are trainers similar to these but I tried them and didn't love them. I hope they make another pair black and white mix for the fall. Mine from last year are the favorite pair of tennis shoes I've ever owned! ... read more
As others have stated the the heel of the shoe digs into your ankle bone. At first I was going to try to ignore it, but after about 15 minuets of walking around I realized that I was going to have to return them. If the leather on the heel was just a little bit higher there wouldn't be an issue. Hopefully ADIDAS fixes this, because other than the ankle issue the shoe is very comfortable. Until then I can't recommend this shoe. With that said I own several pairs of ADIDAS and have never had an issue in the past. ... read more
When I tried these on at a running store, I decided to buy them even though they were heavier than I wanted because I was told they would last for more miles because of the rubber outersole and UB cushioning. I was very disappointed that at after 3 months of wear that the rubber sole has worn off the back outside rim of each shoe. My normal running shoes last longer than that. Whil The shoes are good for running and fit like a glove, but I would have opted for lighter, less expensive option if knew they were going to last the same amount of time. ... read more
So I purchased these to go with some Adidas outfits I got and for an upcoming vacation. Let me tell you these are not the Adidas shower shoes I had in college. They are literally like walking on a cloud. I purchase the black ones with with stripes and will be wearing them with EVERYTHING. They are padded at the top and have a really comfortable sole. I read the reviews and sized down. I wear an 8.5 in shoes and ordered a 7 and they fit perfectly. Absolutely a MUST BUY. ... read more
I bought these shoes because I love they way they look. I don't recommend them for any sort of activity other casual walking around and hanging out because there's not much in the way of support. They aren't particularly cushioned, but I put some cushy insoles in and they are fine. Overall, I love the way they look and I get plenty of compliments on them. ... read more
I just bought this today at store. Love this shoes so much. One of the most comfortable shoes I've had. The middle part hold my feet so nice. I want to buy another pair differeny colors..waiting until sale ..hehe ... read more
I love the look and feel of this shoe and was so excited to try them on the first time. Based on other people's reviews I went a 1/2 size up and ordered a 9 when I'm usually an 8.5. They were WAY too big. Had to return them and now I'm not sure if I should order an 8.5 or go all the way down to an 8. ... read more

For the second year in a row, Caltech has been ranked the best university in the world by the British magazine Times Higher Education.
Harvard dominated the top spot on the magazine's World University Rankings from 2004 to 2010. But Caltech raised to the top in 2011 and held onto its title again this year.
The magazine ranks universities based on a number of factors, including research, teaching, citations and international outlook. The Pasadena institute also received high marks in subjects such as engineering, technology and physical sciences.
Oxford University, Stanford University, Harvard University and MIT were ranked in the top five on the list after Caltech.
"We are pleased to be among the best, and we celebrate the achievements of all our peer institutions," Caltech president Jean-Lou Chameau said in a statement. "Excellence is achieved over many years and is the result of our focus on extraordinary people."

Debating the words we use, like 'illegal immigrant'
When the average reader picks up a newspaper, he or she probably has no idea about the writing and editing process that led to those specific words appearing in print on each page of the paper. Judging from the criticism we receive daily (hourly), I get the impression people think we just write what we want, and that we don't really think much about the words we choose.
The fact is, each and every article in the paper gets read and re-read by reporters and editors to make sure that the words say exactly what they're supposed to say and convey exactly the meaning we seek. It is a meticulous, painstaking process, and there's nothing haphazard about it. When reporters and editors have an argument about word usage, the final arbiter is something we call a "stylebook," which is a long list of rules on what is acceptable and what isn't. The stylebook doesn't equivocate. I picked, completely at random, an entry in The Dallas Morning News Stylebook just to see what it said. Here's what I picked: "economically disadvantaged — A bureaucratic way of saying poor or low income. Don't use it."
The phrase "don't use it" is key. It is a mandate, not an option. That's pretty much how most papers regard usages such as "illegal immigrant." There's a movement afoot to sensitize journalists about this usage because some regard it as offensive to Latino readers. Last week, this newspaper criticized the Diversity Committee of the Society of Professional Journalists for their reported decision to press for ending use of the phrase "illegal immigrant" in exchange for "undocumented worker" or "undocumented immigrant."
If you read this piece by Diversity Committee member Leo E. Laurence in the SPJ magazine Quill, there is no question that the Diversity Committee met in Las Vegas last year and decided to embark on a yearlong sensitization campaign that placed particular emphasis on changing the way we use "illegal immigrant" in our papers.
Amid controversy, the editors of Quill placed a disclaimer at the top of Laurence's piece, saying that it was his opinion alone and "does not reflect the views of SPJ, its membership or its Diversity Committee. The committee itself has taken no official initiative on the use of the phrase 'illegal immigrant.' " At least one SPJ member has emailed me saying we got it wrong because we didn't take into account the Quill's clarification.
The problem is, Laurence states as fact that the committee met and decided to engage in this yearlong campaign. Either it happened or it didn't. Which is it? Laurence says it happened and decisions were made, which included the support of the committee chairman. He wrote in Quill:
SPJ's Diversity Committee met during the 2010 convention in Las Vegas and decided to engage in a yearlong educational campaign designed to inform and sensitize journalists as to the best language to use when writing and reporting on people of different cultures and backgrounds. … The Diversity Committee took up the idea of a formal resolution I had submitted at the request of several members of CCNMA: Latino Journalists of California, of which I'm also a member.
It was based on our federal, constitutional principle that everyone is considered innocent of any crime until proven guilty in a court of law. The proposed Diversity Committee resolution urged journalists to use the phrase "undocumented immigrant(s), and avoid both "illegal immigrant" or "illegal alien."
That "sparked an engaging discussion," according to committee chairman George Daniels. One of two action steps the committee identified is for SPJ "to engage in a yearlong education campaign designed to inform and sensitize journalists to the best language when writing and reporting on persons from different cultures and backgrounds," Daniels wrote in an e-mail.
This "would aid SPJ membership in understanding the importance of our current, national discussion of immigration," he added. "This is not about being politically correct," he stressed.
"We, in SPJ, want to make the argument that being sensitive to those we cover is just the ethical thing to do since we as SPJ members aim to 'minimize harm' when we report," he added.
Our hope is that through this process, SPJ delegates will consider a full resolution at the 2011 convention.
So why did this newspaper decide to criticize the Diversity Committee's decision, or reported decision? As I stated above, newspapers don't equivocate on these things. When we change our rules, we lay down the law on usage. Our current Stylebook entry already rules out what the Diversity Committee proposes. It says: "undocumented immigrant — Use illegal immigrant instead."
Here's the entry for "illegal immigrant: "Use this term to describe someone who is in the United States or another country illegally, either by entering without legal authorization or overstaying an entry visa. Don't use the noun illegal as a shorthand for illegal immigrants. Avoid illegal alien, a term sometimes used by immigration authorities but which can be offensive. Avoid the euphemistic undocumented immigrant."
That's why you see this usage in our paper. Either way we write it, it's going to offend someone. Besides, the U.S. government exclusively uses the term "illegal immigrant," so that's pretty much the official usage. When we use it, we're not saying the person is a criminal (which is a legal term to describe someone who has been charged and convicted of a crime).
If a person smokes in a restaurant, that person is an illegal smoker because the law clearly states that you cannot smoke anywhere inside a restaurant. But it would be wrong to say the person is a criminal smoker because he hasn't been charged and convicted. If you're illegally parked, that doesn't mean you've been ticketed or charged. It just means you're in a spot that the law says you may not occupy. The law says you may legally immigrate to this country only through official points of entry and with proper permission. If you do so without permission or through an unofficial point of entry, sorry, you're an illegal immigrant. That doesn't mean you're a criminal.
If we followed Laurence's line of reasoning — or that of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists — we wouldn't be able to say, for example, that a person was speeding at the time of a collision because we would be criminalizing that person before he had been convicted.
There comes a point when you have to draw the line. It might sound harsh or uncaring to some readers. But at least nobody can accuse us of not thinking it through.

Last spring, we purchased the BOB Revolution SE and I was immediately in love with it. It's a wonderful jogging stroller, and the swivel wheel allows it to work well for other uses. I think we can get by without purchasing a double jogger as long as I go running early in the morning before Hubster goes to work, but it would be ideal if we had a double jogger.

BEDFORD - Praise for Blair County's reassessment came from a surprising corner Tuesday: both sides of the assessment question in neighboring Bedford County, where two valuations over four years prompted headaches for taxpayers and government officials.
At their Tuesday meeting, the Bedford County commissioners said Blair County's ongoing reassessment has involved the public in a way their own assessments - or at least the first, failed attempt in 2009 - generally didn't. One of the landowners who long protested Bedford's process as insufficiently transparent agreed, saying Blair County's leaders are "looking out for the taxpayers."
Meanwhile, the Bedford commissioners revisited the state's Clean and Green program, an old issue that's set to crop up in Blair County as reassessment moves forward.
"I think they're doing a lot better job of getting information out ahead of time," Bedford Commissioner Chairman Kirt Morris said of his counterparts to the north.
Blair County authorities have held one public meeting and plan to schedule more. They're also providing an informational video for property owners who can expect shifting values and tax bills as the county carries out its first sweeping property-value change since 1958.
The county has retained the law firm Weiss Burkardt Kramer of Pittsburgh for legal expertise through the process.
In contrast, Morris said, the Bedford County commissioners didn't reach out to individual homeowners during the 2009 reassessment and didn't keep specialist attorneys on retainer for either attempt.
The first run in Bedford led to long lines outside county offices as taxpayers challenged their assessments. At one point, officials announced that armed sheriff's deputies would sit in on tax hearings.
That reassessment ended with the commissioners at the time voting to uniformly shift values for all properties, further complicating the process. Those commissioners are no longer in office.
"It's tough. People are accustomed to those 1950s values," Morris said after the meeting.
Bedford County's second attempt ended successfully last year, with fewer mathematical problems and relatively little public concern.
As the process moves forward in Blair County, Morris said, officials and landowners will likely face the same concerns they saw in Bedford: Some property owners will complain of unfair calculations or value hikes, while others will get their first experiences with the state's Clean and Green tax system.
The system allows some landowners to file certain land types at a lower tax level than they would normally face. As in Bedford, some Blair County property owners whose 1950s-level land values rendered Clean and Green unprofitable might opt in to the system after the reassessment, Morris noted.
That would require another drive for public information, as the Clean and Green system can appear complicated to newcomers, he said. On Tuesday, when the commissioners voted to shift Clean and Green rates to meet state recommendations, even experienced landowners questioned the decision.
At the meeting, Bedford County landowner Terry Chalfant, who regularly challenged the commissioners during the reassessments there, said the county could take a page from Blair's book.
He suggested that another, smoother reassessment in Bedford - the county's third in a half-decade - could do the trick. Morris quickly dismissed the expensive idea.
"I don't have $2 million to spend," he said.

Dance-duel night at Dancing with the Stars delivered a trio of surprises – two perfect scores and one tough elimination. Read on for more.
Charlie White and Sharna Burgess kicked off the show in the best way possible: immediate safety and their first perfect score.
Later, Amy Purdy rebounded from last week's injury to deliver a mind-blowing and intricate Argentine tango that landed them a perfect score.
"That was totally spellbinding," judge Bruno Tonioli said. "I feel like I'm in a trance ... Perfection."
Danica McKellar and Valentin Chmerkovskiy came close to perfection, with a 38-out-of-40-point tango, but it wasn't enough to save them. The pair became the latest to leave the ballroom, sunk by a lackluster duel performance and audience scores.
"It's been absolutely amazing," McKellar said. "I had the best time ever. I didn't want to see any of them eliminated so I guess it all works out."
Added her partner: "It's been a blast."
Meanwhile, at the judge's table, it didn't long for Miller to make herself heard.
Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced a 36-point rumba that felt a little too much like a contemporary dance for Miller (as well as for regular judge Carrie Ann Inaba). Miller gave the pair an 8 out of 10 after getting some attitude from Maksim.
Candace Cameron Bure showed improvement with partner Mark Ballas. They danced a 36-point foxtrot that head judge Len Goodman said was "so joyful to watch," while Inaba said, "You have truly made a breakthrough in your mind and your confidence."
Also scoring 36 points were James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd, who danced an Argentine tango that Miller absolutely loved. Goodman, on the other hand, critiqued Maslow.
After each couple danced their individual numbers, it was time for the dance duel. It kicked off with McKellar and Davis and their partners performing a 34-point samba that was panned by the judges.
"I would have rather seen the girls in heels," Miller said, while Inaba added, "It didn't quite do justice."
Bure and White, on the other hand, wowed the panel with a powerful 38-point contemporary.
"You look like an Abby Lee Company dance member," Miller raved.
Last up was a 39-point jive that Maslow and Purdy danced with their partners. Despite a shaky week of rehearsals, the group did an "extraordinary" and "fabulous" job, according to Tonioli.
Miller raved, "I actually wanted to get up and dance for like the first time ever!"

Lone Chinese home destroyed; farmer accepts deal
BEIJING -- Authorities have demolished a five-story home that stood incongruously in the middle of a new main road and had become the latest symbol of resistance by Chinese homeowners against officials accused of offering unfair compensation.
Xiayangzhang village chief Chen Xuecai said the house was bulldozed Saturday after its owners, duck farmer Luo Baogen and his wife, agreed to accept compensation of 260,000 yuan ($41,000).
There was no immediate confirmation from Luo.
The couple had been the lone holdouts from a neighborhood that was demolished to make way for the main thoroughfare heading to a newly built railway station on the outskirts of the city of Wenling in Zhejiang province.
The razing comes a week after images of the house circulated widely online in China, triggering a flurry of domestic and foreign media reports about the latest "nail house," as buildings that remain standing as their owners resist development are called.

Gigabyte X58A-UD9 and GTX480 Quad Sli Review
3D Benchmarks
Published: 27th July 2010 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £465.99 |
3D Benchmarks
Once we'd finished our standard application side of the testing, it was time to really push this board to its limits. Given that the major bonus of this over the standard sized motherboards it would be foolish to not take advantage of its ability to run four cards at once. We saw recently in the Ares testing how Quadfire performs, so we were anxious to try out Quad-SLI.
nVidia seemed to be loath to assist despite repeated promises, and so we're hugely grateful to Zotac for stepping up to the plate and delivering four shiny GTX480s for us to put through their paces.
Unigine Heaven
Rapidly becoming one of our favourite benchmarks, Unigine just looks so sumptuous. We're sick to death of seeing the 3D Mark Vantage tests, but everytime we see Unigine we something new.
Testing actually scaled well. For a long time, and even now, there is a law of diminishing returns with multiple cards. If 2 cards give 175%, then 3 cards give about 200% and 4... well we shall see.
A single 5870 just about bests the GTX480, but that's not really why we're here. If Unigine is anything to go by then scaling issues have definitely been sorted, because there is almost a linear increase between one, two, three and four cards. We tested with 0 and 2 x AA, but to be honest with 95.8 average using 4x AA there is no point in making you sit through the lower results.
3D Mark Vantage
Yes, just like you this is the result we were desperate to see too. Scaling within 3D Mark is clearly nowhere near as linear as it was in Unigine. Obviously the CPU score gets a boost from the use of Physx, but the 4th card isn't being used anywhere near well enough to justify it.
What we did see though, from our first GTX480 review, and again today, is the potential the 480 has for a high score. Having four GTX480s to hand, and a motherboard we know can use them, was just too tempting. Bringing out the portable air-con, waiting til late at night, and lots (and lots) of tweaking we managed to obtain an overclocked system that was just stable enough to enable a single Quad-SLI run, just to show the potential available. At this point we'd like to remind you that we're still on air here.
54246. Fifty-Four Thousand, Two Hundred and Forty-Six. Good enough for a HWBot top 10. If you have the time, this setup of Quad-SLI and UD9 can certainly deliver. Sure it's 3 grands worth of kit, but you can't put a price on performance.
As if to demonstrate the brutality this setup and how easily it smashes previous thoughts of what scores are achievable. Tri-SLI in Extreme (which is 1920x1200, heavy AA etc) scores higher than a single card at Performance settings. Again the fourth card isn't really giving us much of a boost, but still. Look at those scores and gasp.
Unlimited power indeed.

I am not rich, by any means. Let me point one thing out though. I do multimedia production work, and use some proprietary PCIe cards in that work. The cards MUST follow consecutive slot orders. So that made the ud9 one of only 3 options for my needs. The EVGA lacked the sata3 and a few features. The ASUS SC has been plagued with problems. So that only left the ud9. Well to be fair there was a small assortment of high end server boards also, but none exactly fit the bill.
ALSO, Gigabyte does make the promise that they will "custom engineer" BIOS features for ud9 users. This is critical for my needs. As my software/hardware matures, I am constantly running into dma/irq issues with mobo's/os's. If Gigabyte makes good on their promise and expedites BIOS implementations even ONE day ahead of the competition. The board has payed for itself.
Not to brag or tout my other hardware, but the proprietary PCI cards I use run about $15k for 3, so the premium for the ud9 was really not that big of a deal (in the bigger picture).
Now for the icing on the cake. I was previously running these cards in a MAC
Apple was forcing me to buy a new $7k computer every 2 years or so, just to keep up. So now that I moved over to a Win platform, the performance is through the roof....and I have under $4k into a system that utterly DEMOLISHES the MacPro in BOTH cost and performance.
I think the ud9 is actually a bargain, considering what it does. If there was ONE single competing product on the market...I would call it as you have.....but there is not.
I don't regret my purchase one bit. I am not just talking artificial benches....I am talking REAL WORLD performance. 24/7
ud9 is truly the current king

MARTINSBURG - The new federal transportation funding bill passed by Congress this summer keeps funding levels the same as the most recent funding legislation, but it changes the way that money is allocated.
For one thing, there will be no more earmarks allocated in the new bill, Jack Basso said Tuesday at the West Virginia Department of Transportation's annual Transportation Planning and Programming Conference being held this week in Shepherdstown.
Basso is director of program finance and business management for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. His presentation to the nearly 120 conference attendees was about how the new bill was passed and changes to transportation policy contained in the bill.

Henry "Ed" Compton, director of engineering and operations for the Federal Highways Administration's West Virginia Division, speaks Tuesday to attendees at the WVDOT Transportation Planning and Programming Conference in Shepherdstown.
Called MAP-21, which stands for Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, the bill was the first long-term transportation funding bill Congress has passed in about six years.
Basso emphasized that the two-year legislation stabilizes funding for transportation programs and projects. Over the next two years, about $40 billion is dedicated to transportation under MAP-21, he said.
In the previous funding bill, 11 percent of funding was dedicated to earmarks. Earmarks were funds reserved or set aside for special projects at the request of members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives for what is usually referred to as pet projects or pork barrel projects.
Fact Box
For a complete report on MAP-21, go to: www.fhwa.dot.gov/map21
In turn, formula funding - the money distributed to states based on a formula of states' needs - has been increased to 93 percent of the total funding.
Some programs that had been funded in the previous bill will not be eligible for funds, Henry "Ed" Compton, director of engineering and operations for the Federal Highways Administration's West Virginia Division, said Tuesday.
Scenic and historic byways programs, historic preservation and transportation museums will no longer be eligible for federal funding, he said.
However, scenic and historic byways designations will not be withdrawn, officials at the conference said. They do not expect any new byways to be designated in the next two years, or the life of the new funding bill.
The Washington Heritage Trail in Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan counties is not in jeopardy of losing its designation, but no federal financial assistance can be expected in the foreseeable future.
"There might be some planning and engineering money we could get, but there are a lot more hoops to jump through," Jim Castleman, who runs the WHT information center in Martinsburg, said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
Castleman also is the project manager of "for the kids, by George" children's museum currently under construction at the Caperton Train Station on East Martin Street in Martinsburg. The museum is a project of WHT.
"The cuts are not expected to impact 'for the kids,'" he said. "We're all right. We've already gotten grants for the museum."
The City of Martinsburg has applied for a transportation enhancement grant through the previous federal funding bill for its East Martin Street Corridor project.
The project would restore the brick paving on East Martin and make improvements to the streetscape in the vicinity of the Caperton Train Station and the children's museum.
Part of the grant would go toward transportation-related exhibits in the children's museum.
Reached by phone Wednesday, Martinsburg City Manager Mark Baldwin did not yet know what effect the new bill would have on the East Martin Street Corridor project.
"Information on new grant programs are coming out," he said. "If money can't be used for the children's museum, we would adjust our grant application."
Baldwin has not heard anything about the city's current application. This is the second time the city has applied for funding for the project. Baldwin said the city would continue to apply for funding for the project, if this application is denied.

Editorial: City Council's integrity put at risk
Oak Harbor's city administration is making the council look foolish, and the seven-member independent body should waste no time restoring its good reputation.
The issue stems from a subcommittee meeting of three council members to which the mayor invited the entire city council. This constituted a breach of the Open Public Meetings Act, which requires notification in advance of all council meetings. Councilman Jim Campbell refused to go, realizing it was against the law; but six council members attended.
It also violated the public trust, as few knew the full council with its decision-making powers would be present at the subcommittee meeting, called to discuss emotional Pioneer Way improvement issues.
The illegality of the meeting was strongly hinted at by a highly-placed expert in the Washington State Attorney General's Office. While he can't issue rulings, he can point out changes that should be made.
The city administration's reaction was odd, to say the least. It could have pledged that all future subcommittee meetings would only be comprised of the three subcommittee members. But it didn't. Instead, it decided to advertise all future subcommittee meetings as full council meetings. That way, the mayor can continue to invite any additional council members he wants without worrying about violating the Open Public Meetings Act.
Meanwhile, the public is left to attend seven, rather than two, council meetings each month. The subcommittee committees can happen any time of the day, as early as 7 a.m., and in diverse places. No citizen could possibly keep up with them all. In addition, none of those extra committees will be televised, as are the two regular council meetings.
This present policy is inane, a blatant attempt to disregard the spirit of the Open Public Meetings Act. The mayor admits no wrongdoing and thinks the issue is minor, one the city can get around to after more important issues are tackled, such as nude dancing.
It's amazing that the city's legal staff could prepare five binders of legal precedent showing why nude dancing must be allowed in the city, but didn't bother to come up with even a legal brief on why the Open Public Meetings Act should faithfully be followed in detail.
As a result of this, may of the council members look foolish. It's time they take over and restore the people's trust in city government. They should do it next week, even before nude dancing is discussed.

KOCHVILLE TOWNSHIP, MI — Saginaw Valley State University will spend $1.5 million on new signs, lighting, heating and cooling upgrades and relocating a department on campus.
The Saginaw County university's projects include spending up to $850,000 to replace the Ryder Center's boilers, up to $550,000 to move the geography department from Wickes Hall to the Regional Education Center and up to $400,000 to replace campus signs.
The SVSU Board of Control approved the projects May 9.
Projects will start this week and continue throughout the month, and the campus signs renovations will start after May, said J.J. Boehm, SVSU spokesman.
Many of the signs are at least 25 years old.
On a per square-foot basis, SVSU has the lowest energy cost of any college campus in Michigan, according to the university.
In October, Consumer's Energy gave SVSU a $71,400 rebate check for updates that reduced electricity consumption.

You may feel passionate and demonstrative today. You may feel a need to express your affection to friends and loved ones or create a greater sense of intimacy in your relationships. One good way to do this is to express the feelings that are in your heart. By being forthcoming with your expressions of love and appreciation, you will likely make others feel good and perhaps even inspire them to reciprocate your expressions of affection. You could tell your friends how glad you are to have them in your life, tell your family members that you love them, and tell your coworkers that you admire them for their talents, skills, or sense of humor. You could also take this expressiveness one step further and be kind and encouraging toward everyone you meet today.
The kindness and encouragement we share with others benefits us as much as it does them. When we go out of our way to be generous to others through kind words and gestures, we put forth positive energy that uplifts and inspires them. Not only does this make them feel happy and likely to return our kindness immediately, but they are likely to pass on the kindness to others. This will ultimately create a chain reaction of positive energy that will continue, and eventually make its way back to us in the form of blessings, abundance, and kind words and gestures from others. Expressing your feelings of affection for others today will create a positive cycle of joy to bless them as well as yourself.
