Beverly Lewis
Beverly Lewis
Beverly Marie Jones (Lewis) was born in the heart of Amish country—Lancaster, Pennsylvania. At the tender age of nine, she began writing short stories and poetry. Prior to that, she made up lyrics to the "little fingers" piano pieces she learned, at the age of five.
Her first venture into adult fiction is the best-selling trilogy, The Heritage of Lancaster County, including The Shunning, a suspenseful saga of Katie Lapp, a young Amish woman drawn to the modern world by secrets from her past. The book is loosely based on the author's maternal grandmother, Ada Ranck Buchwalter, who left her Old Order Mennonite upbringing to marry a Bible College student. One Amish-country newspaper claimed Beverly's work to be "a primer on Lancaster County folklore" and offers "an insider's view of Amish life."
Fans describe how her books have "touched a nerve, creating a curiosity about the Old Ways of the Amish... a yearning for a simpler life and return to traditional values in the mainstream society, where an impersonal, high-tech lifestyle reigns paramount," she explains. Beverly still takes time out of her busy schedule to answer her readers' letters.
Booksellers across the country, and around the world, have spread the word of Beverly's tender tales of Plain country life. A clerk in a Virginia bookstore wrote, "Beverly's books have a compelling freshness and spark. You just don't run across writing like that every day. I hope she'll keep writing stories about the Plain people for a long, long time."
A member of the National League of American Pen Women, as well as a Distinguished Alumnus of Evangel University, Lewis has written over 80 books for children, youth, and adults, many of them award-winning.
An excerpt from the author's bio...


text:
DSU's Arts Center/Gallery in the William Jason Library is currently featuring the senior capstone exhibition of Erica Rae Lokai entitled "Jellyfish Bluem" until Dec. 14.
The exhibition is free and open to the public.
Ms. Lokai is a senior double major in arts management and studio art. Her 35-piece exhibition features her work in creating framed cyanotypes and mixed media paintings.
The senior art major said her work is particularly inspired by the jellyfish species, with its ability to swirl its tentacles, twisting and turning into beautiful shapes or becoming tangled in an angry mess.
Erica Lokai stands with two of her works that are part of her "Jellyfish Bluem" exhibition currently in the Arts Center/Gallery.
"I have always liked everything under the sea, so one day I painted a jellyfish," Ms. Lokai said. "I realized how much I enjoyed painting them, so I thought, 'Keep making jellyfish until you're tired of making them'."
She hasn't tired yet. To date, Ms. Lokai has painted, photographed and sculpted at least 100 jellyfish since the first one she completed.
"When jellyfish congregate together in large numbers, it is called a bloom; so for my senior exhibition I have created my own bloom," she said. "Jellyfish Bluem is a collection of my most recent works; it highlights my love for cyanotypes (which uses the color blue as a common element), mixed media and jellyfish."
She added that the exhibition has fused an alternative photographic process with painting and mixed media.
A reception in honor of the artist and her work will be held in from 5-6:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 6 in the Arts Center Gallery, which is located inside the front entrance of the William C. Jason Library on campus.

It is a listing of books where you can mark the ones you have read, want to read or are currently reading.
You can also connect to friends and find out what they are reading.
I get to it through Facebook but there might be other ways.
I loved reading that book Gem of the Prarie! Thank you so much!ReplyDelete
I love Rosamunde Pilcher as well! I have read quite a few of her books, though Shell Seekers is one I have yet to make it through. I think I am intimidated by the length of it, silly I know. :)
Yes, there are some books I read in earlier days that sort of turned a page for me, if you will, in life. I had never read such beautiful prose OR I was at that age when the idea of falling in love seemed a distant, grown up milestone, OR just a fun story that swept me away. I loved The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, which was in my grandparents library. I loved Jane Eyre. I also loved, loved, loved a book called "Jungle Girl" which I read as a teen in Readers Digest format, and my sister went to great lengths to track down for me as a birthday present about ten years ago.:)
Have a great week!

i found this one:
i plan on reading up as much as i can about fixies tommorrow when i get home. right now i'm hurting for a new method of transportation since my car starts about 1/4th the time
anyone have a link to a place where i can get help on building a fixie. I have an old track bike frame that oddly enough i found in a sewer. Im thinking that i simply strip off the brakes, but what is to be done to the gears in order to make it a true fixed gear?
Inactive User
Im pretty sure you would have to change the hub if you bought the milano. Also, a brand new fixie will cost you at least $500. I would go hunting around your town for an old road frame (your own garage even), and then convert. It helps to have friends who know what's up. Fixie wheel sets cost like $300 minimum, no way around it.
The fuck? Stiff and rigid?
Either you were on some janky ass fixed gear or youre frail... But fixed gears are one of the smoothest bikes...
It doesnt take much to go fast on a fixed gear. You pedal.
Not even, the bikes I tried were high end bikes. They just feel tougher to pedal from a stand still position than the bikes I'm used to riding. That's all. No need to get offended.
ya well you're stuck w/ one gear ratio which isn't exactly conducive to the smooth ride at different speeds you'd expect from a regular bike. On a regular bike you start out in a low gear then move on up as you gain speed so you're used to pedaling at the same cadence which i suppose is what makes them produce a smooth ride. I'm a mountain biker first (been mt biking since 2nd grade) and road biker second so I'm always used to multigeared bikes and it'd be weird to change rhythm for me. I don't like fixies personally, just don't think they're particularly practical and as a longtime biker I think I might have a bit of a hipster backlash toward all these artsy, girl jean wearing types jumping onto the bike culture, as inherently stupid and unwarranted as that may seem (i'd still rather see people on bikes than in cars no doubt, but I think ppl taking up biking to be hip is pretty lame) . I doubt they'll be as popular a few years from now, it really seems to be a fad and I'm not sure how it started but i suppose the whole bike messenger aesthetic has been adopted by hipsters for years though, starting with messenger bags, carbineers, and what not.
the ruckus is the new fixie. all the fun without the pedaling.
DK if this been posted but on http://mashsf.com/ they got some dope ass vids... and they got a dvd releasing soon...
The frame on those bikes are funky as fuck. But I kinda dig em.
Does yours have the bottle opener under the seat?

It really does what it says!
Posted by Zahava on Jun 29, 2013
I have an epileptic dog who unfortunately loses bladder and bowel control during Grand Mal seizures, and this product not only cleans the stains on my carpets but removes all trace of odour. It is also excellent as an odour-removing spray for general use on furniture and my bed, and is 100% safe for use with an epileptic pet - most other products not only do not clean but leave a horrid smell and many contain ingredients which trigger a seizure. I recommend this product to everyone who owns a pet!
No more smelly litter boxes!
Posted by iHerbalicious on Nov 18, 2012
I was using it for freshening and cleaning litter boxes and it worked great. Just one warning; if you don't intend to use it within couple of months then better mix it with distilled water instead of tap water or it will go stale.
Really deodorizing but not antiseptic
Posted by nizzzy on Oct 27, 2015
I do quite like this product as it was pretty effective in getting rid my dog's persistent pee pee odor but it would be even more perfect if it were antiseptic. Great that this product is pet friendly ie. non toxic.

This tool is good. It cleans the surface.
not good at all

the spray cannot eliminate the cat sand box stinky smell. Maybe can reduce the water proportion when mixing.

Eliminates bad odors efficiently. Ecological and apps value for the money. Love it. Will buy as gifts for my pet owners family and friends and will the refill.

by John MacArthur
Imagine taking your family to a new church. The teaching is decent, so you keep attending. You get to know some of the elders, hoping to learn from their examples and grow spiritually. Meanwhile, your kids get involved in the youth ministry, and your family becomes immersed in the church.
But as the weeks pass, you realize that big problems lie beneath the surface. Several elders tolerate major sin in their lives, and they disagree on virtually every issue. The congregation is confused on important doctrines. Factions form, and everyone picks sides. To make matters worse, your family members are becoming disjointed and quarrelsome, likely affected by the poor church leadership.
Would you stay? Probably not. It would be difficult for you and your family to grow spiritually in that environment. Churches need leaders who live according to biblical principles and who are unified in sound doctrine. Otherwise, believers have no one to guide them in following God's design for the church.
In 1 Timothy 3, Paul gives Timothy God's standard for church leadership. Picking up where we left off on Monday, an overseer is "not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, peaceable, free from the love of money" (1 Timothy 3:3).
Not a Drinker
The Greek word translated "addicted to wine" (paroinos) means "one who drinks." It doesn't refer to a drunkard—that's an obvious disqualification. The issue here is the man's reputation: Is he known as a drinker?
The Greek word translated "temperate" (1 Timothy 3:2) refers in its literal sense to one who is not intoxicated. Paroinos, on the other hand, refers to one's associations: Such a person doesn't frequent bars, taverns, and inns. He is not at home in the noisy scenes associated with drinking. A man who is a drinker has no place in the ministry because he sets a poor example for others by choosing to fellowship with immoral men instead of God's people.
Not a Fighter
A leader of God's people cannot settle disputes with his fists or in other violent ways. The Greek word translated "pugnacious" means "a striker." An elder isn't quick tempered and doesn't resort to physical violence. This qualification is closely related to "not addicted to wine" because such violence is usually connected with people who drink excessively.
A spiritual leader must be able to handle things with a cool mind and a gentle spirit. As Paul said, "The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome" (2 Timothy 2:24).
Easily Pardons Human Failure
Instead of being pugnacious, a leader must be "gentle." The Greek word translated "gentle" describes the person who is considerate, genial, forbearing, gracious, and easily pardons human failure.
In a practical sense, a gentle leader has the ability to remember good and forget evil. He doesn't keep a record of wrongs people have committed against him (cf. 1 Corinthians 13:5). I know people who have left the ministry because they couldn't get over someone's criticizing or upsetting them. They carry a list of grievances that eventually robs them of the joy of serving others.
Discipline yourself not to talk or even think about wrongs done against you because it serves no productive purpose. It simply rehearses the hurts and clouds your mind with anger.
Not Quarrelsome
The Greek word translated "peaceable" means "reluctant to fight." It refers not so much to physical violence as to a quarrelsome person. To have a contentious person in leadership will result in disunity and disharmony.
Free from the Love of Money
Love of money can corrupt a man's ministry because it tempts him to view people as a means through whom he can acquire more riches.
Here's a simple principle I've used to keep from loving money: Don't place a price on your ministry. If someone gives you a financial gift you didn't seek, you can accept it from the Lord and be thankful for it. But if you pursue money, you'll never know if it came from Him or from your own efforts, and that will rob you of the joy of seeing God provide for your needs.
All these traits are essential for Christian leadership, since every leader sets an example that others imitate. If the example is one of godly character, then the leader's ministry will edify the body of Christ. As he strives to be hospitable, honorable, peaceable, forgiving, and unselfish, other Christians will do the same. The result is an environment of purity, humility, and genuine love among brothers—fertile ground for the growth of the church.

I can directly relate to the church scenario that you began with. However, the Church my family attended was biblically straight when we began 6 years ago. In fact the Pastor was an ardent reader of John MacArthur's books, but eventually the Pastor gradually rejected Lordship Salvation and he stopped confronting the small sins at first, then even unbiblical divorce, which I was a victim of when my wife of 21 years said she did not love me anymore and our children were about to adulthood. This Church and Pastors did nothing except send us to a professional counselor, a so-called Christian Psychiatrist. This Psychiatrist twisted the scriptures in I Cor. 7 out of context and that was all my wife needed to jump ship. I was even a Deacon in this Church and taught adult sunday school. The youth Pastor now follows Rob Bell and the Pastors advocate Lectio Divina . When Apostasy comes it may not come suddenly, but gradually creeps in even with sound biblical Churches. I now go to a biblically sound church, College Park Church, which Pastor John came to last year for the 6:4 Fellowship. Please be observant of Church leadership, they can gradually become the frog in the boiling kettle of Apostasy if the people become comfortable and not discerning of the teaching materials in Church and in youth groups.

Ed O., Eastwood Tech Advisor- What Makes Us Tick
Eastwood's 1st Pinewood Custom Car Show
When walking around the offices of Eastwood there aren't too many people in a bad mood or unhappy with their surroundings. One of the ways we love to keep the spirits up in a normally mundane "cubicle-world" is to hold picnics, town hall gatherings, and even sometimes games. Today our great customer service team held a custom car show for some pinewood model cars they each built and modified. The team was judged on creativity and quality of their build. The entries were all well done, but Ivan and Keith came in with wins for "Most Unique" and "Best Craftsmanship". Don't forget to congratulate all of these folks on a job well done the next time you call in or chat with them on the site!

January 14, 2008 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: University of Alabama Pediatric Nutrition Satellite Sites Needed
SUBJECT 2: Crystal Reports on the Web
SUBJECT 3: Breastfeeding Coordinator Training
- University of Alabama Pediatric Nutrition Satellite Conference Sites Needed: Sites are needed by February 10th to host a viewing site for the 2008 Annual Pediatric Update from the University of Alabama at Birmingham on June 4th from 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. WIC and Nutrition Services is sponsoring this educational opportunity: "Assessment, Treatment and Environmental Factors that Impact Childhood Obesity". This training is usually held at health offices with satellite capabilities throughout the state by site coordinators. The site coordinators will need to be present throughout the training. The day before, they will need to pre-tune their satellite receiver and verify its proper operation. The site coordinator will need to locate the broadcast at least 45 minutes before the scheduled beginning, so problems can be resolved. They will also need to make sure attendees are signed in, provided handouts, and available to answer questions.
Registered dietitians, nutritionists, WIC agencies, and other health care professionals will attend to strengthen their focus on assessment and treatment of child and adolescent obesity. Additionally, the training will provide sessions on medical and environmental factors that have an impact on children and weight. Individual registration pamphlets will be available in the spring.
Please see the attached site registration form for details or contact Michele Bailey at (573) 751-6481 or email@example.com with questions.
- Crystal Reports on the Web: All WIC reports on the web have now been updated and should be working properly. The date of the last update has been added to the description line in all reports. This should help everyone identify if a report has been updated/modified and when it occurred.
For technical assistance:
- Questions about how to use the reports for clinic management should be directed to your district TA teams.
- Questions about printing the reports, errors on the reports such as incorrect participant data, or problems exporting the reports, should be directed to Melissa Seaver at 1-800-392-8209 or email@example.com. Thank you for your patience during this time.
- Breastfeeding Coordinator Training: A Breastfeeding Coordinator training is scheduled for April 29 and 30, 2008 in Jefferson City. The two-day session will cover the role of the Breastfeeding Coordinator, basic breastfeeding information, 3-Step Counseling, and guidelines for loaning breast pumps, including information on assembly, use and cleaning.
Training Dates: April 29 & 30, 2008
Time: 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (first day) and 8:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. (second day)
Location: Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, 930 Wildwood, Jefferson City
The training is mandatory for all new Breastfeeding Coordinators, unless they have attended the BFPC Regional training "Loving Support Through Peer Counseling". Any other staff members who would like additional information on breastfeeding are welcome to attend. Email or fax the attached registration form to the State WIC office by March 31, 2008.
If you have any questions, please contact Kathy Mertzlufft by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 573-526-4792.

Front view. So simple.
Anyway, I picked it up at gh2. Annnnd here is the best part.
No, not those diaper-short-bloomers, silly. The ventilation!
Perfectly off-center.
Ok now let's discuss these accessories. I'm sure you'll be with me on the first 2, but the final one might just surprise you a little bit. Or not, who knows?
1. New straw purse. I love a woven purse for summer. I remember so fondly a yellow one that I wore until it fell apart. This one comes from Blacklist Vintage, who I talk about at least once a month.
2. Vintage Pucci sunglasses.
Nothing not to love here.
And last but certainly not least...
My new BIRKENSTOCKS. Your mom knew what was up with the perfect summer sandal. I can actually walk anywhere in these, no problems. Purchased at B-Squad Vintage.
Comfy elastic straps.
You can practically feel the arch support in this photo.
Don't laugh at me, laugh with me!

Thank you, governor
Eleri Oley Kerian, Grafton
Thank you, Gov. Jack Dalrymple for signing HB 1305, SB 2305, and HB 1456. While out-of-state abortion money is being spent trying to convince North Dakotans that these bills are the result of "anti-choice" extremists, it is really the opposition that is extreme.
Pro-abortion organizations have been trying to distract North Dakotans from what these bills really do by claiming that they ban IVF or birth control. They are also spreading the myth that these bills will interfere with life-saving medical procedures for the mother. They figure if they say these lies loudly, rudely, and frequently enough, no one will notice that one bill simply prohibits discrimination by protecting all babies regardless of gender or genetic abnormalities. Another bill simply regulates the out-of-state doctors who come to North Dakota (to make money performing abortions) by requiring them to have hospital privileges. This measure helps protect women by regulating the doctors and holding them to the same standards applied to other medical practices. Finally, HB 1456, the heartbeat bill, simply guarantees life for a child after a detectable heartbeat; it does not ban all abortions as opponents claim.
Truly, the extremists are those who are opposed to these bills : they simply want abortion on demand without regard to reason, safety, or the viability of the unborn child. This is why a future classroom of North Dakota's children disappears every week at the state's only abortion mill.
Our family sends a big thank you to Dalrymple and the legislators who drafted, sponsored, and voted for these bills. We ask everyone to read the legislation, tune out the lies, and thank the hard working legislators who drafted, examined and passed legislation to protect the lives of all North Dakotans.

Looking For Pontoon Performance? Make It A Triple-Tube
August 7, 2013
With a growing customer demand for high-performance pontoon boats, Godfrey Pontoons continues to refine and expand its lineup of boats featuring an optional center pontoon, including the exclusive TOTAL Package and G-Force III technologies for its popular Sweetwater line.
The increasing popularity of triple-tube packages continues to be driven by customers who are demanding more speed and performance than ever before. Of course, pontoon owners can still enjoy a leisurely cruise or on-water picnic, but now they can just as easily fire up the motor with six to eight people aboard and effortlessly pull a skier at 30 mph.
"The great news is that today's pontoon boats can do far more today than ever before," said Godfrey Pontoons Brand Manager Bob Wachs. "And when you add the reassuring comfort, stability and handling of a well-designed triple-tube system like TOTAL Package, these pontoons stack up against any other boat on the water."
This year's TOTAL Package (Triple Outperforming Tube And Launchpad) for the Sweetwater line includes:
• Chambered G-Force III center pontoon with in-floor ski locker
• Sleek Godfrey premium nose cone and all-welded V-keel
• Performance lifting strakes
• Stay-dry, no-splash fins
• Smooth-riding aluminum under-deck skin
• Quick-to-plane G-Force III LaunchPad motor pan
• Full-day 50-gallon fuel tank
• Optional extended center pontoon
• Power-assist steering system
Not only does the added center tube improve watersports performance, but it also makes the boat much easier to handle, with a stable ride, even in rough water and when making hard, high-speed turns.
Increasing the stability and handling has also lead to the ability to add outboard power up to 300 horsepower, which means that consumers looking for top speeds of up to 50 mph now can consider 24- to 25-foot triple-tube pontoons such as Sanpan and Aqua Patio when making a buying decision.
Even value-oriented buyers have options like a triple-tube equipped 22-foot Sweetwater, which is rated for up to 150 horsepower. A recent test by Mercury Marine, with a 22-foot Sweetwater and Mercury Verado 150 hp 4-Stroke, resulted in a top speed of 40 mph, making it one of the fastest 22-foot triple-tube pontoons on the water!

You never hear about people putting effort into robberies or heists, no grand getaways, and it's a shame. At least two men brought back that memorable past with a London jewelry heist worth $65 million last week, but in doing so they confronted a powerful modern foe: video surveillance.
This dangerous daytime heist netted the robbers $65 million worth of jewelry from the powerful London diamond merchant Graff Diamonds, but also led to a suspect being arrested in connection with the heist and the entire heist being captured on camera. The surveillance footage seemed to capture a scene similar to every heist movie in history, with the two dapper robbers producing guns in the store and taking a staff member hostage while making off with their haul, before escaping into a group of getaway cars across the city. It was a fascinating scene that was filmed that day. Too bad for them, our Dapper Dons weren't starring in Hollywood movie, but stuck in real life. …Read More →

Second vote on selling County Home said possible
MAYVILLE – A second vote on whether to sell the Chautauqua County Nursing Home to Altitude Health Services could be on the table this month.
An email to the legislature from Steve Abdella, county attorney, says that at the request of Larry Barmore, R-Gerry, the prefile for the Feb. 27 full legislature meeting should contain a notice that Barmore intends to bring back a resolution authorizing a contract for the sale of the County Home to Altitude Health Services.
"By giving prior notice of an intent to bring a motion to renew, the motion to renew will require a majority vote to bring the resolution back on the floor for debate and action," Abdella wrote.
Although the resolution requires only 13 votes to be brought back in front of the legislature, in order to sell the home to Altitude Health Services – and its owner, William (Avi) Rothner – the legislature would still need to find 17 votes, due to a local law dating back to 1975 requiring a supermajority vote in order to sell real property owned by the county.
In January, 16 legislators voted in favor of selling the home to Rothner, while nine opposed the sale. Voting to keep the home in county hands were Keith Ahlstrom, D-Dunkirk; Lori Cornell, D-Jamestown; William Coughlin, D-Fredonia; Thomas DeJoe, D-Brocton; Robert Duff, R-Sheridan; Shaun Heenan, D-Dunkirk; Timothy Hoyer, D-Jamestown; Bob Scudder, R-Fredonia; and Robert Whitney, D-Jamestown.
Although legislators chose not to sell the County Home to Rothner in January, a second vote was taken to determine whether legislators would be interested in selling the home to a different purchaser. In this vote, Ahlstrom, Coughlin, DeJoe, Heenan, Hoyer and Scudder said they would not be interested in selling the home at all. Duff did not vote, as he left the January meeting following the failed resolution to sell to Altitude Health Services.
In addition to bringing the subject back to the table, 13 legislators are working on introducing Local Law Introductory No. 1-13 to the legislature this month. Chairman Jay Gould, R-Ashville; George Borrello, R-Irving; John Runkle, R-Stockton; Robert Stewart, R-Ellington; Tom Erlandson, D-Frewsburg; Barmore; Mark Tarbrake, R-Ellicott; Paula DeJoy, D-Jamestown; Vince Horrigan, R-Bemus Point; Paul Wendel, R-Lakewood; Fred Croscut, R-Sherman; David Himelein, R-Findley Lake; and John Hemmer, R-Westfield are looking to amend the local law from 1975 that requires a supermajority vote.
"Local Law Introductory No. 1-13 will itself require a simple majority for passage, and if passed will become effective 60 days after its final enactment," Abdella wrote.
The local law can be changed with a simple majority vote of 13. However, there are two ways possible following the vote that the law could not go into effect.
If, within 60 days after final enactment, a petition with sufficient signatures is filed, then voter approval would be necessary to sell the home during the next general election, which would be in November. Additionally, within 30 days of the vote to change the local law, the legislature itself could choose to allow the sale of the County Home to be submitted for voter approval at the next general election.
Although they know the vote could be reopened later this month, legislators Cornell and Whitney are standing their ground in their firm votes to not sell the home to Rothner.
"I will not be bullied, nor will I allow the intelligence of my constituents to be questioned," Whitney said. "This idea that Jamestown residents want the County Home sold to Avi Rothner is hogwash."
Whitney said he would spend the next several weeks working harder in an effort to get information out to the citizens of Chautauqua County regarding Rothner.
"I'm not opposed to selling the County Home," he said. "But I am opposed to selling it to Avi Rothner. My constituents – and all of Chautauqua County residents – deserve to know the facts. And the fact of the matter is, the Rothner family is well-known throughout the Midwest as a less-than-stellar nursing home conglomerate."
Cornell backed Whitney, stating that anyone she speaks with about the Rothner family is concerned.
"The residents I represent wonder why our county executive would endorse such an unreputable buyer," she said. "If we are going to sell the County Home, we need to sell it to an upstanding business person, not an absentee landlord with little demonstrated commitment to some of those most vulnerable in our community."
Prefiles for committee meetings taking place next week have not yet been released, so it is unclear whether discussions will take place in committee meetings. Likewise, the prefile for the Feb. 27 legislative meeting will not be released until Feb. 22. Despite this, legislators are still discussing the matter with their constituents and one another.

Topic: Redirect After Delete [SOLVED]
I have several cases where I want to do a redirect after a DELETE. From the browser's point of view the interaction looks correct - the DELETE is issued, a 302 is returned pointing at the correct redirect URL, and the browser issues a GET on that URL. However on the Rails side, Rails appears to be trying to do a DELETE on the redirect URL.
The path the DELETE is issued on might look like this:
user_authorization_path(@user, authorization)
The redirect in my controller might look like this:
redirect_to edit_user_path(params[:user_id])
My browser's debugger sees this:
Request URL:http://localhost:3000/users/1/authorizations/12
Request Method:DELETE
Status Code:302 Found
Request URL:http://localhost:3000/users/1/edit
Request Method:GET
Status Code:404 Not Found
Rails' log shows this:
Started DELETE "/users/1/authorizations/12"...
Redirected to http://localhost:3000/users/1/edit
Completed 302 Found in 8ms (ActiveRecord: 0.2ms)
Started DELETE "/users/1/edit"...
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches DELETE "/users/1/edit")
Manually doing a GET on the redirect URL works fine.
Does Rails not support delete-redirect-get? Thoughts on what the problem could be? Thanks.

An imperfect man fights for survival during an uncertain time in America. Inspired by true events, Ron Woodroof's story of strength is told in Dallas Buyers Club, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée from an original screenplay by Craig Borten & Melisa Wallack. Spirit Award winner Matthew McConaughey portrays the real-life character, whose self-interest is galvanized into something much more.
Texas native Matthew McConaughey is one of Hollywood's most sought-after leading men. A chance meeting in Austin with casting director and producer Don Phillips led him to director Richard Linklater, who launched the actor's career in the cult classic Dazed and Confused. Since then, he has appeared in over 40 feature films that have grossed over $1 billion; and has become a producer, director, and philanthropist – all the while sticking to his Texas roots and "jk livin'" ["just keep living"] philosophy.
2012 saw him spotlighted in four diverse performances. He won a Spirit Award for his portrayal of Dallas Rising in Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike, and was named the year's Best Supporting Actor by both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics for his work in Magic Mike and Richard Linklater's Bernie. Mr. McConaughey also received acclaim for his performance in Lee Daniels' The Paperboy, and was a Spirit Award nominee for playing the title role in William Friedkin's Killer Joe.
April 2013 saw the release of Jeff Nichols' Mud, which received rave reviews and was a sleeper hit in the national box office top 10 for five weeks. He stars opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, opening in November 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, he will be seen starring alongside Woody Harrelson in the HBO dramatic series True Detective. Mr. McConaughey is currently at work filming Interstellar, directed by Christopher Nolan, for release in November 2014.
His other films include Brad Furman's The Lincoln Lawyer; Mark Waters' Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, with Jennifer Garner of Dallas Buyers Club; Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder; Andy Tennant's Fool's Gold; McG's We Are Marshall; Tom Dey's Failure to Launch; Dan Gilroy's Two for the Money; Donald Petrie's How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days; Rob Bowman's Reign of Fire; Jill and Karen Sprecher's Thirteen Conversations About One Thing; Bill Paxton's Frailty; Adam Shankman's The Wedding Planner; Jonathan Mostow's U-571; Ron Howard's EDtv; Richard Linklater's The Newton Boys; Steven Spielberg's Amistad; Robert Zemeckis' Contact; Joel Schumacher's A Time to Kill; and John Sayles' Lone Star. He earned a People's Choice Award for Sahara, directed by Breck Eisner, the first feature made by his production company j.k. livin productions.
In 2008, Mr. McConaughey started The just keep livin Foundation (www.jklivinfoundation.org), which is dedicated to helping boys and girls transform into men and women through programs that teach the importance of decision-making, health, education, and active living. The Foundation has partnered with Communities in Schools (CIS) – the nation's largest, non-profit, dropout-prevention organization –in West Los Angeles to implement fitness and wellness programs in two large urban high schools. Through an afterschool program, they are able to give kids a healthy start in life and the promise of a healthy future.

Following the latter tour, he originated the role of Buff in Eric Bogosian's SubUrbia in its premiere staging at Lincoln Center and was then cast opposite Ethan Hawke in Jonathan Marc Sherman's Sophistry in its premiere staging at Playwrights Horizons.

The U.S. broke a 14-all tie in the fourth set and built and 18-14 advantage en route to a 25-21 victory. Brazil overcame a 12-9 deficit in the fifth set and saved two match points before winning 17-15.
"I think our players played very well," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Lang Ping said. "There are lots of things we need to still work on. We played some young players. It's very good to involve them so we can make a better decision for the final 12 of the Olympic Games."
Both the United States and Brazilian women's volleyball teams qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games with medal-stand performances at the 2007 FIVB World Cup. Brazil finished with the silver medal at the World Cup, while the U.S. finished with the bronze.
Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) tallied 23 points via 20 kills, two aces and a block to lead Team USA. Kim Willoughby (Napoleonville, La.), playing in her first senior level international competition for the U.S. Women's National Team, added 10 kills, four aces and a block for 15 points. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) and Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) added 13 points apiece as Bown was credited with a team-high five blocks while Barboza tallied 11 kills. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) recorded four kills, four blocks and an ace for nine points. Foluke Akinradowo (Plantation, Fla.) tacked on five points, while Robyn Ah Mow-Santos (Honolulu) and Cassie Busse (Prior Lake, Minn.) chipped in two points apiece. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) rounded out the scoring with a single tally.
Team USA started Berg at setter, Tom and Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) at outside hitter, Scott-Arruda and Bown at middle blocker, Barboza at opposite and Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) at libero. Ah Mow-Santos started the final two sets while entering as sub in the second and third sets. Busse was a sub in the second, third and fifth sets. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) was a back-row replacement in the final three sets.
Sheilla Castro paced Brazil with 23 points via 18 kills on 39 swings, four blocks and an ace. Paula Pequeno added 20 points with 18 kills, a block and an ace. Walewska Oliveira was credited with five blocks as part of 11 points. Marianne "Mari" Steinberg contributed six kills, while Welissa "Sassa" Gonzaga tallied four points. Helia "Fofao" provided four points, but went down injured in the fourth set and did not return. Caroline Gattaz and Joyce Silva rounded out the scoring with a point apiece.
"The team is in preparation for the Olympic Games," Brazil Assistant Coach Paulo Barros Junior said through an interpreter. "They are at the beginning of the training process so they are not performing at their best right now. Today was a very good match. They are very happy with what they did. The USA had an amazing offense plus they were digging all the balls. Their goal is to be ready for the Olympics."
Brazil started Waleska, Mari, Paula, Fofao, Fabiana and Sheilla, while Fabiana de Oliveira was the libero. Caroline Albuquerque subbed the first four sets before taking over for the injured Fofao. Caroline Gattaz subbed in the fourth set, while Sassa subbed the second, fourth and fifth sets. Joyce entered all sets but the fourth.
Brazil held a 17-16 edge in blocks and both teams had 58 kills. Team USA held a 9- 6 lead in aces, but Brazil made up the difference as the Americans had 13 service errors to the visitors' nine.
"Brazil has very good ball control," Lang Ping said. "They play very fast, also from the back row. It's hard to find a weakness. Lots of teams are playing really well right now. The first thing we need to get done is ourselves and then the second thing is worry about others."
In the last meeting between the two teams, the U.S. rallied from a two-set deficit to win 17-25, 16-25, 25-21, 25-23, 15-9 on Nov. 7 at the 2007 FIVB World Cup. Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.), who did not suit up tonight and is unavailable for competition this week, led Team USA with 26 points in the victory.
The U.S. and Brazil took part in a similar exhibition series to begin the 2005 season. The Front Range Tour was a three-match series in Denver, Fort Collins, Colo., and Colorado Springs. The trio of matches marked U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Lang Ping's debut leading Team USA. The U.S. won the first and third matches in the series.
Team USA played its last home domestic match nearly two years ago. Playing with a split squad in the second year of the current Olympic quadrennial, the U.S. faced Poland on May 26, 2006. Poland won 25-14, 25-22, 28-26.
At the conclusion of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Exhibition series, the U.S. and Brazil will compete in the 12-team FIVB World Grand Prix in various European and Asian countries from June 20-July 13. The two teams will not face each other in any of the three preliminary round weekends, but could meet in the six-team, round-robin World Grand Prix Final round in Yokohama, Japan.
Brazil picked up a two-point cushion at 4-2 early in the opening set on consecutive USA errors. Team USA recovered to tie the set at 5-all after a Bown kill and Brazil hitting error. Brazil reached the first technical timeout leading 8-6 after Sheilla and Mari connected for consecutive kills. Scott-Arruda capped a 4-1 run with consecutive kills to give the Americans their second lead at 10-9. Brazil returned to the lead at 12-11 after back-to-back kills from Sheilla and Paula. Brazil extended its advantage to six points, 19-13 as Paula capped a 5-0 run with an ace. USA fired back with a 4-0 run that included a kill from Busse, ace from Tom and block by Bown to close the deficit to 19-17. Brazil jumped its lead to four points at 22-18 on a block from Sheilla, but Busse answered with a kill and Ah Mow-Santos followed with a block at 22-20. Brazil scored the final three points of the set to win 25-20 on a Mari ace and Fabiana block.
Brazil bolted to a 4-0 advantage in the second set that started with Fofao ace to begin the set, followed by blocks from Sheilla and Fabiana. USA followed with a 5-1 spurt to knot the score, highlighted by two kills from Tom and capped by a Barboza block. With the score tied at 10-all, Brazil rolled off four straight points ending with a block from Fabiana. After Brazil reached the second technical timeout up 16-12, the U.S. collected five straight points for a 17-16 lead with Scott-Arruda serving an ace and the Americans picking up a kill from Willoughby and Tom, and a block by Barboza. Brazil returned to the lead at 18-17 after a Walewska block. The U.S. scored three unanswered points with a Bown block and Tom ace at 2-19. Willouhby added to the gap with a block and kill on back-to-back plays for a 23-20 advantage. Tom powered a kill to give Team USA a set point at 24-21, and Scott-Arruda followed with a block.
Brazil scored six unanswered points after a 2-all score in the third set to take an 8-2 advantage into the technical timeout. Trailing 14-8, USA climbed back into the set at 14-11 with a Tom overpass kill and Willoughby ace. Brazil answered with two straight points to regain a five-point, 16-11, cushion at the second technical timeout. The U.S. came out of the break with a 3-1 run with kills from Scott-Arruda, Barboza and Tom to cut the deficit to 17-14 causing a Brazil timeout. Willoughby put the USA within two at 21-19 with a power kill down within the three-meter line followed by an ace. The U.S. moved to within one at 21-20 after Brazil hit the attack into the net for the third straight American point. Brazil put up consecutive blocks by Sheilla and Walewska to give the visitors set points at 24-21. Barboza saved set point with a kill, and Brazil gave another set point away on an attack error at 24-23. Paula ended the set with a kill off Bown's block that went out of bounds at 25-23.
U.S. picked up a two-point cushion at 6-4 in the fourth set as Tom put up a block followed by a Brazil error. Walewska put down a kill in front of an uncontested block to tie the set at 6-all. Willoughby downed a kill and was followed by an Akinradewo block to push the U.S. advantage to 9-7. Sheilla tied the set at 12-all on an ace after a Paula block. Team USA regained a two-point lead at the technical timeout, 16-14, as Willoughby hammered a kill off the block followed by a Brazil attack error. Akinradewo put up a block out of the break to increase the lead to 17-14. Ah Mow-Santos put up the fourth straight point with an ace at 18-14 before Brazil stopped the run. Brazil closed to within one at 18-17 on two kills and a U.S. miscue leading to an American timeout. Barboza tooled the Brazil block to stop the bleeding, then Tom powered a kill to push the lead back to 20-17. Barboza hammered a kill that Brazil failed to control, and Bown followed with a block to extend the advantage to 22-18. Sheilla put down a block at 22-19, but Brazil suffered a major setback as Fofao's knee connected with Fabi's head causing Fofao to leave the match. Team USA closed out the set at 25-21 on a Brazil error.
The teams traded service errors to start the fifth set before Akinradewo got a kill off the touch at 2-1. Brazil hit long on the next play and Willouhby tacked on an ace to push the U.S. lead to 4-1 forcing a visitor timeout. Sheilla followed a U.S. attack error with a kill to close to within 4-3. Bown connected on a slide followed by a Barboza kill with Tom digging twice to give the U.S. a 7-4 edge. Sassa and Sheilla hit back-to-back kills to cut the deficit to one, 10-9, leading to a U.S. timeout. Willouhby put a kill off the block to stop the mini Brazil run at 11-9, then dug a Brazil attack leading to a Tom kill off the block at 12-9 leading to the final timeout by the visitor. Brazil answered out of the break with a Sheilla kill and Barboza error to move to within one at 12-11. Tom tooled the Brazil block for a 13-11 American advantage. Brazil tied the set at 13-all after a Paula kill and Bown attack that went long. Bown regrouped to put down a block to give Team USA match point at 14-13. Paula saved the point with a kill deep off the U.S. touch. Tom slammed a kill off the Brazil block after a Davis dig giving the U.S. a 15-14 advantage. Walewska answered with a kill to save the second match point. Fabiana put up a block to give Brazil its first match point at 16-15, and Sassa ended the match at 17-15 on a kill.

Graduating from academy
Editors note: This story is a part of an ongoing series that shares the experiences of Officer Adam Petersen, who has been hired by the Webster City Police Department and is undergoing training for his position.
Being over the half way mark at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy, I.L.E.A., our class knew we still had a lot to learn. Every day we stayed on the same routine as previous weeks. We would have daily inspections of our living area by an I.L.E.A faculty member to make sure it was clean and picked up. Physical training was still two to five days a week and we would go on runs ranging from a mile and a half to five miles.
We continued with defensive tactics, in which we became familiar with the different items on our belts. To be sure we know what the different tools can do, we had them used on us in a controlled environment. The Taser was one of the tools that I got familiar with in my training. After a four hour instructional course about the Taser system, it was time to get tazed. This system is a great way to immobilize someone for a couple seconds without lasting injury. Another tool we got to personally experience the effects of was pepper spray. With new instructors at the I.L.E.A, the actions that were taken after getting sprayed were completely different than all previous classes. We were sprayed, fought off a person trying to attack us, and then tried to open your eyes while using your firearm on a target ten yards away. After this experience I realized that these are great tools if need, to subdue someone with the least amount of harm to the person.
On April 12, our class graduated from the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy. We graduated with 36 officers from around the state. With fourteen weeks of training completed I returned to Webster City to start field training for eight to thirteen weeks. During this time I will be with another officer learning all the different streets, business, and areas around town.

Awesome "backstage" pics from the Star Wars movies
The opening crawl was filmed at Industrial Light & Magic, circa March 1980:
Des Webb, in his enormous snow-creature costume with gigantic boots on stilts, could walk no more than a few feet without taking what looked like a painful fall. Here he drags a Luke Skywalker mannequin:
Phil Tippett and Jon Berg stop-motion animate a shot with all three walkers (the background walkers are cutouts). Originally the plan had been to photograph the walkers against four-by-five Ektachrome transparencies shot in Norway; when these didnt work as planned, matte artist Mike Pangrazio copied select Ektachromes onto large scenic backings:
Ford sitting behind an X-wing:
A monkey is outfitted with a cane and a mask and measured. The simian was also briefly considered for walking shots of Minch-Yoda that would have been impossible to execute with a puppet:
On September 5, 1979, renowned actor Sir Alec Guinness arrived at Elstree Studios, in Hertfordshire, England, where Mark Hamill greeted him. Though not on camera, Hamill would feed his character Luke Skywalker's lines to Guinness, who played Ben Kenobi:
At the dining-room door, unit publicist Alan Arnold, director Irvin Kershner, Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Billy Dee Williams:
The Boba Fett costume was built by several crew members and painted by Joe Johnston. I painted Boba Fetts outfit and tried to make it look like it was made of different pieces of armor, says Johnston. It was a symmetrical design, but I painted it in such a way that it looked like he had scavenged parts and done some personalizing of his costume; he had little trophies hanging from his belt, little braids of hair, almost like a collection of scalps.:
Peter Mayhew, as Chewbacca, with Fisher:
When Darth Vader (David Prowse) revealed his secret to Luke, Hamill was hanging onto a pinnacle above mattresses placed on cardboard boxes about 30 feet off the ground:
Mark Hamill at EMI Elstree Studios, where by September 1979 two Star Wars films had been shot:
What has become an iconic photograph of Hamill, George Lucas, Fisher, and Ford (in the background are chief hairdresser Barbara Ritchie; Michael J. Duthie, an editor who happened to be visiting the set that day; and assistant to director Debbie Shaw, daughter of actor Robert Shaw):

I'm sure Brandon will be disappointed in me. Unable to locate his water of preference, I've had to taste both the Tenryu and the Tenjo with Brita filtered water. Already having experienced that tap water and half-tap half-filtered water are both too hard for Japanese greens, I can see why a good water will really make these teas sing. Although filtered water is fine for cheapo sencha, these teas deserve better water.
That being said, Tenryu has left me speechless. I simply do not have the words to describe how lovely this tea is. I find it to be more vegetal and grassy than the Tenjo, but also warm, in a way, like the way that a glass of red wine is warm.

Typically, six consecutive small signs would be posted along the edge of highways, spaced for sequential reading by passing motorists. The last sign provided the 'punch line,' which was almost always 'Burma Shave.'

"Songs & Soundscapes: A Musical Exploration"
(voice, cello, piano, improvisations & compositions)
Tenri Cultural Institute of New York
Friday, September 23, 2011 at 7pm
Brazilian native and Parisian resident renaissance man Pedro de Alcantara visits New York this fall to present "Songs & Soundscapes: A Musical Exploration" at Tenri Cultural Institute of New York on Friday, September 23, 2011 at 7pm. This program of original compositions and improvisations explores the frontier between the ordinary and the sacred in music, a place where nothing is as you expect it to be. The voice becomes a trumpet and beacon, the cello becomes a harp and a lute, and the piano becomes a resonating chapel of vibrations and oscillations.
Immediately following the concert, Pedro will be hosting a reception for his latest book, Integrated Practice: Coordination, Rhythm & Sound, published by the Oxford University Press in June, 2011.
Location: Tenri Cultural Institute, 43A West 13th Street between 5th & 6th Avenues in New York
Tickets: $20 available at the door and via Brown Paper Tickets.
Directions to Tenri:
• F, V & L trains to 14th Street & 6th Avenue
• 1, 2, & 3 trains to 14th Street & 7th Avenue
• N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 & 6 trains to 14th Street-Union Square
About Pedro de Alcantara
Pedro de Alcantara has redefined the role of the creative artist for the 21st century, showing that music, literature, teaching, and healing all flow from a single source.
After growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, Pedro studied at the State University of New York's Purchase College (BFA in Music, 1981) and the Yale School of Music (MM in Music Performance, 1983). In 1986, while living in London, Pedro became a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, a problem-solving method based on the idea that good health is a creative act. In 1990 he moved to Paris, where he still lives.
Pedro's first book, Indirect Procedures: A Musician's Guide to the Alexander Technique, with a foreword by Sir Colin Davis, was published by the Oxford University Press (OUP) in 1997. Its French version came out in 2000, followed by a German translation in 2002 and a Japanese version in 2009. Also in 1997, the French publisher Editions Dangles published his second book, La Technique Alexander: Principes et Pratique, which he wrote in French (his third language, Portuguese being his mother tongue). Afterwards he rewrote the book in English. Titled The Alexander Technique: A Skill for Life, it was published by the Crowood Press in England in 1999. A translation of A Skill for Life was published in Japan in 2011.
In 2008, Pedro was named the editor of a new book series at the OUP. Titled THE INTEGRATED MUSICIAN, the series highlights the musical philosophy he has developed over the past twenty-five years and will include volumes for string players, singers, pianists, and other musicians. In the fall of 2008, AlumniVentures, a new initiative at the Yale School of Music, awarded Pedro a grant to support the series' dedicated website. Pedro's first volume for the series, Integrated Practice: Coordination, Rhythm & Sound was published in the summer of 2011 to wide acclaim.
In the process of preparing Indirect Procedures, Pedro discovered a passion for writing itself. From this passion poured a number of works including poems, short stories, and novels for young readers. Befiddled, his first novel, was published in 2005 by Delacorte Press – an imprint of Random House. It tells the story of 13-year-old violinist Becky Cohen and her struggles against a mean teacher, an overburdened mother, and really bad hair. Delacorte Press published Pedro's second novel in 2009. Backtracked is a time-travel epic of New York City, in which the vessel of time travel is the city's subway system. Currently, Pedro is working on The Divine Computer, a new novel for young readers, as well as a manual for writers titled Rhythm & Flow in a Writer's Career.
Pedro has given seminars and presentations throughout Europe and the US, as well as Australia and New Zealand. His forthcoming visit to Japan will include a class at Nihon University, the country's largest and most prestigious university. Pedro's music students include the members of first-rate orchestras like the Orchestre National de Lille, the Concertgebouw Orchestra, and many others. His teaching practice is broad-based and includes writers, artists, dancers, actors, and creative individuals in all fields.
Pedro's compositions and improvisations highlight the vibrational and metaphysical aspects of music. He is currently preparing a CD of his works, scheduled for release in November, 2011. More details at: www.pedrodealcantara.com.

Since I started drinking loose leaf, 2 years now, I've been brewing "western" style...one tsp of tea (TGY, Wuyi, etc) in a yixing or gaiwan then poured into a medium sized tea cup (175ml or so). This has been fine, though I recently got some high mountain oolong and didn't like it initially. I used a tsp, brewed 3:30 and found it weak. So today I used twice as much leaf and brewed 50s...it was way better.
What I'm wondering though, is why when I double the leaf, but redipuce my brew time so much is the tea stronger? I'm not good with understanding this sort of thing...
Also, what if I used one tsp and brewed longer than 3:30, would it ever taste as nice as twice the leaf and shorter brew time...if not, why?
Thanks so much!

Now That Zooey Deschanel Has a Clothing Line, Is This What We Can We Expect From a Decor Collection?
On the heels of the young actress's first clothing capsule collection with Tommy Hilfiger, we imagine what kind of homewares Deschanel might design
Zoey Deschanel is known for her charming and whimsical style, often stepping out in polka dots, stripes, or similarly feminine and cheerful patterns. So it's no surprise that her first foray into the fashion world, a line called "To Tommy, From Zooey" in collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger, features many of her signature patterns and silhouettes.
While the line doesn't hit Macy's and select Tommy Hilfiger stores until April, the sketches hit the web today and we're already thinking of Deschanel's next move. Could a line of homewares be far off? Take a look at the dresses from the upcoming collection along with our take on what we would expect from the actress in the home world. We took cues from the clothes—a light-hearted take on floucy silhouettes, sweet pleating, a nautical color palette.
Tell us: Do you think decor's the next frontier for Deschanel?

ATI Technologies, one of the world's largest suppliers of graphics processors, has unveiled its first DirectX 10 software development kit that provides programmers examples of DirectX 10 code and samples to allow them to start creating the content using next-gen application programming interface (API). However, the company has not supplied its partners among developers with DirectX 10-compliant hardware.
"In 2002, ATI introduced the first DirectX 9 parts with the Radeon 9700. With DirectX 10 on the horizon and the development of the industry's first unified shader architecture with the Xbox 360, ATI is again taking the leadership role and giving developers the tools to navigate this exciting transition," said Neal Robison, director of independent software vendor (ISV) relations at ATI.
ATI said it was giving developers and artists the tools "to fully leverage the power of unified shaders and the graphics processing unit (GPU)" and a preview the possibilities of the future Microsoft DirectX 10.
"With forward looking techniques like shadow volume extrusion and streaming out of animation data, the SDK has more than a dozen new samples of what could be possible with DirectX 10 and empowers developers to start creating the kind of breakthrough content the industry saw at the advent of DirectX 9," a statement by ATI reads.
This latest SDK from ATI shows developers how they can best tap into this technology to incorporate techniques such as water simulation, inverse kinematics and simple collision detection. Rounding out the extensive content on the SDK is an emphasis on render-to-vertex buffer techniques and shows some of the ideas of what can be implemented on top of it.
But while developers will have an opportunity to preview some DirectX 10 peculiarities, they will not be able to test their DirectX 10 effects on actual hardware, which is code-named ATI R600 and which does not yet exist in incarnations useful for any software performance testings. While the DirectX 10 effects can be emulated using Microsoft-developed RefRast application, such emulation is very slow and cannot be an indicator of future GPU performance.
