What's really interesting about this machine, though, is its hardware. Indeed, the whole Ferrari branding is something of a distraction really; if judged alone without the prestige of the badge the Ferrari One holds its own both in performance and value.
It starts, of course, with the processor. With two cores running at 1.2GHz and 1MB L2 Cache between them, the AMD Athlon X2 L310 is still no powerhouse, but it does just enough and the extra core ensures it's significantly snappier than Intel's Atom. It's a fact helped by the presence of Windows 7, whose performance on this still limited machine bodes well for other netbooks. This processor is supported by 2GB of RAM and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 integrated graphics, the latter of which is a decisive advantage over any Atom-based netbook.
We'll get into why shortly, but in addition to these core hardware features, you get a decent 250GB, 5,400rpm hard drive, Wireless-N Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and Bluetooth. Added to this is Dolby Home Theatre audio, which gives this machine an edge, especially when using headphones.
Most unusual, though, is support for ATI's XGP technology. XGP, for those who don't know or recall, was announced last year. On paper it's a very cool technology, enabling the use of external graphics solutions to be connected via the propriety port. Since it uses its own port, XGP isn't limited by the bandwidth of an ExpressCard slot like similar products.
Unfortunately, XGP has never really taken off and we can't see the Ferrari One sparking any revival. Innovative as the technology might be, it really needs to be applied to something with more all-round abilities than a netbook-cum-affordable ultra-portable. Moreover, its presence, we assume due to the size of the port, means there's no integrated HDMI port, which would prove more useful.
Particularly since the ATI integrated graphics is more than useless. Like the much hyped nVidia ION platform, it can decode 1080p video smoothly, with no dropped frames and minimal jitter. Depending on the source material it normally does this with around 50 to 60 per cent CPU utilisation, so it's a shame you can't stream audio and video to a TV or monitor through one cable, as an HDMI would allow.
This superior graphics capability extends to a modicum of gaming ability; in Track Mania Nations we managed a (just) playable 21.9fps at medium detail settings and a healthy 29.1fps at low. With enough tweaking you could even play the likes of Call of Duty 4 on this, so less graphically demanding titles (World of Warcraft, The Sims, Spore et al) should be playable. This is isn't a gaming machine by any stretch, but if you must, you can...just.
Better than the Air then :P.
C'mon, someone was going to say it ;).
Looks great, I would definitely consider it except for one thing - no HDMI! I appreciate that you can still output video through VGA, but then I'd need to output audio separately too. The ability to decode 1080p video is nice, but to me fairly pointless without HDMI.
Can't buy that due to the ferrari logo on the back - like wearing a ferrari baseball cap.
the fact it goes "vroooom!" on startup eliminates the HDMI negative in my books.
The noisy fans is very disappointing. I can live without HDMI but don't like noisy computers. This is my type of netbook/ultra portable, a dual core with dedicated graphics.
They should just make the lid silver. I remember an Acer Ferrari with a silver lid??
I must correct the video, it does not have a noisy fan. It is very quiet. Great little netbook. Had it one week so far and can't find any fault in any way.
I bought one a couple of months ago - it was silent for 3 weeks then developed a noisy fan, something between a rattle and a buzz. This is very disappointing from an otherwise powerful and handy machine. Sadly speedfan and other monitors do not work on this model so I can't adjust the fan - it makes lots of fan noise at temperatures as low as 30 degrees C, temps that shouldn't need a fan to be on at all.
Would be nice to see a performance review where it was pitted against the Acer Ferrari one netbook.
Acer ferrari one vs the Eee pc 1201n.. While looking for reviews of both these netbooks iv seen a few requests by budding netbook owners requesting the same thing.
Would be nice to see a performance review where it was pitted against the Eee pc 1201n. netbook.
Acer ferrari one vs the Eee pc 1201n... best video performance, best gaming performance fastest cpu etc.
I bought one of these laptps yesterday. I've used it a good few hours and so far I cannot say that it has loud fan noise at all and it does not generate large amounts of heat. It is at the most a quiet whirr. This smashing little machine packs some degree of gaming capability, effective video and HD playback and the very fast multasking of a much more expensive ultraportable for £400. Add to that the bonus of a rock solid build quality and great keyboard and crystal clear display on pictures & font. The battery life is just as good as most ultraportables and regular netbooks at 4-5 hours, just as good as my Samsung NC10 which has much lower powered hardware. It is wrong to compare the battery life with the Timeline series, it needs to be compared alongside other regular netbooks and ultraportables.
Yes, the design and colour scheme is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it but it is sure distinctive in a world of homogenous if sleek machines. I disagree having the Ferrari logo makes one appear a wannabee who can't afford the car. So what? One can admire Ferrari branding and perhaps even be a F1 fan. This lovely little cross somwehere between an ultraportable and premium netbook has the performance to go with the branding image. If you like he design but don't want to pay silly prices you cannot go wrong.
Apart from that, the review is very accurate and a pretty fair score, except I'd give it 9/10 at its pricing point.
It seems the owners in this thread are split between noisy and quiet fans. I was in the quiet camp for the first 3 hours the computer was on. Then I heard a clunk like a Ferrari had been mis-shifted and started to make a metallic buzzing noise from the fan similar to how ando321 described it. This happened at idle. I have not heard the quiet (and pleasant) whirr I heard at first use in the week since. It makes the rattly buzzing noise when I boot it up... when it's cool... I'm afraid to take it to class for the noise it makes.
I also own a Lenovo S10, another "loud" netbook that runs hot but this is altogether different. I love everything about this little red beast except for the fan issue :(
I don't have any real problems with this netbook other than the touchpad. I would like to adjust the sensitivity but there doesn't seem to be an option under touchpad properties so I will use my wireless nano mouse most of the time.
My main problem is not with the machine but with the online registration site. Each time I try to submit the Serial Number I get the message (in red) to "check serial number". I have triple checked that it is correct and that the sticker underneath the machine, the SN printed on the box, the one listed in the BIOS and the VCARD are all identical. I only use a 0 (zero) and not the letter O so I don't understand why it isn't recognised?
Another problem I encountered is that when I enter the SNID the online form only accepts 3 digits so it is not capable of taking the full number.
Has anyone else had any trouble registering their products?
my ferrari one heat up fast and shut down with in 20 min .wht is the solution of it?

It was a week later, it caused my downfall. The one thing I promised Jake I would do was look after his little sister, Hannah. I couldn't do that properly.
She was like my little sister since Jake died. I helped her through her problems, now at 14 I was helping her on the one thing most teenage girls spend a lot of time doing; boy scouting. Jake was lurking in the background just to watch me make a fool of myself. "Him" I pointed at the guy who was running around with his shirt off. "ewwww" Hannah laughed. I loved days like this, sun meaning tan, Hannah meaning I had a friend.
We laughed as we were summoned home. I slipped my hand into Jakes so he didn't feel left out. I should've told Hannah Jake was still here, but it was too late now. The boy with no shirt suddenly ran and took me by surprise. "Hey" he said, I blushed. Hannah was still walking when she turned round to see us. "Oi, we've got to go Emily!" she shouted. I turned, went to leave the stranger, and a car blitzed down the road too quickly. "HANNAH!!!" I screamed. The car had ploughed straight into her and I was numb. The boy went to call an ambulance as Jake and I ran straight to her. She slightly opened her eyes, she was covered in blood. "Jake," She whispered, "shhhh" He replied. I got up to see how the ambulance was getting on but the guy had left and a note saying 'the ambulance are coming' was all that was left.
Jake held his sisters hand, stroked her hair, wiped her tears as she left her body. Me, I sat and watched, each of Hannah's tears broke my heart.

Supremes Get Late-Night Treatment
Washington Post Supreme Court correspondent Robert Barnes detects an uptick in comedians riffing on the justices.
It's not entirely surprising: The court is running with a hot docket this year — the health-care overhaul, for instance — and this is an election year.
We like Barnes's lead:
Heeeeere's John, who is saying something about cuss words and a hammer.
Heeeeere's Antonin, in a faked photograph that makes it appear he wears nothing beneath his judicial robe but black socks and garters.
Heeeeere's John Paul, who is being badgered into declaring whether the Supreme Court's ruling in Bush v. Gore was just a "great" decision or its greatest decision.
On "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart has vowed to spend more airtime on the court. . .

The latest quarterly poll of more than 7000 firms by the British Chambers of Commerce found that sales and orders from both the domestic and overseas markets have risen to levels not seen for a year.
And confirming that firms expect the good times to keep rolling, confidence about future turnover and profitability has soared to its highest for two years.
Manufacturing investment is continuing to contract but service sector investment has staged a strong revival. Service firms are recruiting more staff than industry is firing.
David Lennan, the BCC's director general, said: 'Large manufacturers have taken a significant stride towards recovery and with confidence high we would hope small firms would soon follow suit.' He said that with inflation pressures so low there was no need for the Bank of England to rush into raising interest rates.
Latest news on the housing market showed property prices continued to surge during the first quarter, boosted by a shortage of houses for sale. A net balance of 57% of surveyors reported rising prices, compared with 49% the previous month, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.Reuse content

Having problems with your Dirt Devil M086700 Vision Bagless Upright Vacuum ?
Dirt Devil M086700 Wide Glide upright suction problem
\015 My wife asked me to fix the vaccum but I think someone lost a gasket or two somewhere--good suction from the motor and poor suction to output; filter is not clogged and can see light looking from inside BUT there is suction leak all along the top of the plastic "dustbin" the filter sits in. My thought is there should be some kind of gasket to seal this so all the suction isn't leaking out. Is there a gasket on top or on the bottom of the clear dust collector--or maybe the leaking means the filter IS clogged and needs to be changed??? Mike MOser\015

We had the same problem. We lost the dirt container lid. I called Dirt Devil Customer Support at 1-800-321-1134 and explained my problem. They asked for the Model number, the mfg code, and the factory letter. A replacement lid costs $2.59, but they are sending it to me via regular mail without charge for the part and with no charge for the postage. Stuff like this doesn't happen often.

My wife and I traveled through Boughton and Greens Norton, on my Greene family ancestor's genealogy trail. We visited the Church of St Bartholomew in Greens Norton, as well as the Church of St John the Baptist in Boughton. The Rector gave us the gate key to the old church ruins about 1/2 mile east of the village, on the northeast corner of what was 'Boughton Green'. We had lunch in the overgrown graveyard next to the rubbled ruins of once was 'St Churches John', once the Chapel of the six generations of Sir Thomas de Grenes who were lords over Boughton. We took many photos and even brought back to America a small piece of limestone window molding we found in the rubble. It was sad to see everything in such a state of disintegration and overgrown. However we basked in the richness of the moment we had to share with the spirits past. It was a lovely moment for me.

Howard Bloom Quotes
Women encourage killers. They do it by falling in love with warriors and heroes. Men know it and respond with enthusiasm. The Crusaders marched off to war with ladies favors in their helmets. The heroes sliced up adults and baked infants on spits, all the while thinking of how the damsels back home would admire their bravery.
From our best qualities come our worst. From our urge to pull together comes our tendency to tear each other apart. From our devotion to a higher good comes our propensity to the foulest atrocities. From our commitment to ideals comes our excuse to hate. Since the beginning of history, we have been blinded by evil's ability to don a selfless disguise. We have failed to see that our finest qualities often lead us to the actions we most abhor, murder, torture, genocide and war.

Attention to all medical assisting (MA) students: Your job outlook is looking pretty good.
"The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics' projection shows that medical assisting will be one of the fastest growing professions through the year 2014," according to an article from the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA). Not only that, they are looking into broadening the range of job duties for MA's.
One of the main areas the article discusses utilizing medical assistant's is in ambulatory care. Medical assistants communicate to all types of patients. Communication along with all of the other skills that are taught in an accredited medical assisting program would make a medical assisting a "uniquely qualified" professional for this area and many other areas in health care.
"As a result of this extensive practical and theoretical training, the certified medical assistant (CMA) is uniquely qualified to "speak the patient's language" and serve as the communication liaison between the busy physician and patients who are often afraid to ask questions," according to New Roles for the Certified Medical Assistant to Enhance the Quality and Effectiveness of Care article published in the Journal of Medical Practice Management.
Medical assistants are trained to listen to the patient, both through words and body language. They are, after all, the "buffer" between the patient and physician. Often patients find it easier to talk more openly about their health concerns with the MA because they have already built that rapport with them. The article talks about how the medical assistants could be viewed more as "health coaches" to aide in giving instruction for what the physician prescribes to the patient.
Another place a medical assistant is valued is in a pediatric office. "Quality of personnel is an important factor in the success of a pediatric practice," according to an article in AAMA titled The Certified Medical Assistant: An Invaluable Asset for the Pediatric Office. The article also discusses how CMA's have proven to be some of the most versatile and effective staff members in the offices of pediatricians.
Medical assisting is a great career field for those that are looking to care for patients and work in diverse areas of the medical field. They are in demand in many areas of the medical field, and with the baby boomers hitting it is safe to say our medical assistants are going to be needed within this field.

Encounter with a Vampire
(or Morgan finds she's made of sunshine)
"Ash," I call loudly through the woods. I haven't seen him since the bus. We've talked on the phone a lot though. He never mentioned he was in the area near me.
"Stay back Morgan." He doesn't look at me. He's looking at something I can't see; something hidden in the shadows.
I stop, but I've come too far. Suddenly an arm streaks out and grabs me. I'm held in a very tight grasp. Ash has gone ashen.
"I'm very hungry you know," a voice hisses. I've heard that voice before. I can only look at Ash. "I'm not sure how well I can control my hunger right now. It's been a while since I've last fed."
"Don't do it Alex."
Another hiss comes from behind me. Alex, the vampire from the bus? I try to look back, but I'm held tight. I feel him tilt my head. A nail trails along my neck.
"Let her go!" Ash is becoming paler by the minute.
My eyes close, I feel the earth vibrate underneath my feet. "I am sunshine," I whisper. I feel like I'm glowing. The vampire screams in pain. I'm let go. I stumble into Ash and turn around. "Sorry," I whisper. Alex is clearly burnt where our skin had touched. Even Ash doesn't hold me long.
"Sorry? He's a vampire." Ash is yelling at me. He's clearly freaked.
I look at Ash, tears forming in my eyes. I'm backing away. "Sorry," I say to him. "I'm sorry." I say to both of them and turn and run.
I run through the woods. Tears blur my vision. I heal people, not kill people. I can't even kill to save myself, or the guy I've fallen in love with. I trip and collapse where I am, sobbing.
"Morgan?" A voice breaks through my sobs.
"My blood is sunshine. It would be death to you." I don't know where that comes from. I don't even know if it's true.
"Look, Morgan, I'm really sorry about that. But you know," his voice trails off.
I sit up and look at Alex. He does look really sorry.
"I didn't kill him. He offered himself willingly, just enough to sate the beast, you know."
I stand and dust myself off. Alex offers a handkerchief. It's stained with blood. I use my sleeves to wipe my eyes. I turn and stalk back to where Ash lies on the ground.
"He really loves you, you know," Alex calls back to me. "He'd die for you."
I turn and glare at Alex. I don't know what he saw in my eyes, but it made him flee.
I reach Ash, who lies on the ground. He's pale but breathing. I place his head in my lap and stroke his hair. I watch as my magic dances along his hair and caresses his face.
"Morgan?" His voice is weak.
"Shh?" I place a finger on his lips. "Let the magic work." I'm glad dad has been teaching me about Faerie magic; though apparently mine is different form his. Still he's taught me how to draw from it. I am glad we are in the woods. If this had been an alley, I'd be hard pressed to find the strength I need, unless there was a daycare near by.
Ash blinks at me. I smile. With one finger I erase the bite marks Alex left. Ash slowly sits up and faces me. He seems astonished.
"Are, are you like Mai?"
"No," I laugh, Mai is a much better healer than I, "I'm half Faerie, that's all."
"But?" he seems confused.
"I heal Ash, I don't kill," I say it sadly. I know he kills. He bears the name Van Helsing and it comes with a price. A price I know he hates to pay.
"Morgan, you shouldn't be out here all alone. Did Mike really," I place a finger on his lips. He stops scolding. He's looking at me with those eyes of his. I know Alex is right. My heart has known it since I got off the bus.
"Your family need never know," I whisper. My finger falls away. We kiss. Reluctantly I pull back and stand. "You should stop by sometime. Dad would love to see you again." I leave him there, kneeling in the woods.
I've been able to disappear for years. Apparently it was s kill I'd developed on my own, before I knew I was part Faerie. I hated to use it on Ash. I really want to be with him. His confused and hurt look, confirmed that he too wants to be with me.
Tears are welling in my eyes as I back away. I run home. When I get there I call the only person I feel I can truly confide in; Gloria.
"Morgan, what's wrong?"
"Is the baby sleeping?"
"Yes, I'm so thankful you helped me get her into a routine."
A pause, I'm still trying to catch my breath.
"Are you okay Morgan?"
Even though the phone I can feel her concern. I flop down on my bed. "I kissed him."
"Who? Ash?"
I nod like a dimwit, then respond "yes, well, I don't know maybe he kissed me. It was kind of confusing."
"When," she sounds excited for me. Gloria has been my cheerleader in all this.
"Just now."
"And you're not still with him? Morgan!"
"I had to run away," I'm beginning to sob again. "I heal, he kills."
"Oh Morgan, I'm sure you can find a way."
"How? If his enemies know, they'll be all over me…" I trail off. There's a knock on the door. My grandmother answers it. I hear Ash introduce himself. "I got to go," I tell Gloria, "He's here."
"Good luck."
I hang up. Talking with Gloria always gives me strength. I hope I don't take it from her. I hope it's just because she believes in me.
I look at myself in the mirror. It's a good thing no one saw me come in. I look like a mess. Twigs are sticking out of my hair. I've got moss stuck to my skirt. If you ignore my red eyes then I look more like a Faerie than I have since elementary school. I laugh.
"Morgan," my grandmother calls up the stairs. "There's a nice young man named Ash here to see you."
"I'll be down in a moment Grandma." I hear her escort him into the living room. I can't take too long, or Grandma's going to put him through 50 more questions than Dad would. A quick brush through the hair takes care of the stuff there. As for my clothing, I resist the urge to change and brush myself off. I need a new lint roller. Lastly I blow my nose. There really is nothing I can do for my red eyes. I've never been into makeup. So I just wash my face and hope it doesn't show too much.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Sleeping bag choices-Help me!
Jul 21, 2010 at 10:28 pm #1261454
Alright my head hurts. Trying to decide on a new sleeping bag. I'm 6'3, 205lbs. ,broad shouldered, size 15 feet, warm sleeper. I've narrowed my choices down to the three following bags.
WM Megalite
Feathered Friends Kestral
Montbell UL Spiral Down Hugger #3
I currently have a WM hooded Aspen(now Alder) that I have had forever it seems. I love the roominess, especially in the foot area. But at 40 ounces and way too much bulk I need to add another bag to my quiver. I don't like the purple of the WM, minor annoyance I know. The FF bags sound good , but I have zero experience with them. Never even seen one till last week. The MB sounds good on paper and the price is not bad either. Though I will spend the money on whatever one will suit me best. I look at sleeping bags as a long term commitment. I am mostly a hammocker but still prefer a bag to a quilt for the times I do go to ground. I also like the ability to use the hood. Let's try to keep it down to these three bags because I can only be undecided on three things at a time. Thanks everyone.Jul 21, 2010 at 10:31 pm #1631223

I've yet to see/hear anything that would make me choose anything other than a WM bag when looking for a down bag. I'm sure FF and Montbell are both excellent, but with something like a down bag that's a long term commitment, why mess around?Jul 21, 2010 at 10:38 pm #1631227
I had to ask. Any idea if WM would do a custom color? I guess I'll call and find out in the morning. Still would like to get some more input though. Thanks David.Jul 21, 2010 at 10:39 pm #1631228

You are already own and are familiar with WM, which is considered a premier company. Other than the fashion statement, I think you already answered your own question.
BTW, I have a WM Ultralight, and it is top notch.Jul 21, 2010 at 10:54 pm #1631233
William JohnsenBPL Member
I picked up the FF Merlin (slimmer cut than the Kestral) a while ago and have been nothing but impressed. Since they didn't have any already made in Epic I was able to pick my color. I looked at WM and the FF Epic seemed more durable to me, maybe someone has data on that? I wouldn't hesitate to get another FF bag.Jul 21, 2010 at 11:33 pm #1631241

I have the older version of the Montbell UL Super Stretch Down bags (#0 & #3). I love them both. It's freedom in a bag. The quality is there! I like you, am a warm sleeper. I have taken my #3 down to the high teens/low 20's (with my sleep system) and have slept comfortably. Albeit, close to the border of the bags limits. I also shift frequently in the night so for me, I needed a bag that would not restrict my movement. Sounds like an oxymoron but it's the roomiest mummy bag you will ever sleep in!
Since price is not a consideration, I do not think you can go wrong with any of your choices. If you decide on the Montbell you will defiantly want to go with the "long" bag (6'6"), I'm 5'10" and went with the long.Jul 22, 2010 at 6:45 am #1631279

Last year I looked into a new bag. I am 6' 195lbs with size 12 foot and roll around a bit. For temp rating and spaciness I choose the Spiral 3 to replace my old NF kestrel, roomie, small and light. I am pleased with the quality of Montbell and also purchase a down inner jacket. It works well with a short Neoair, a CCF mat inside a Tarptent Sublite and carried in a Aarn Natural Expression of 32L.Jul 22, 2010 at 1:03 pm #1631408
Well WM won't do any other colors for the Megalite. Though they do have a long, right zipped one in red that they cut by mistake. So close. If it was a left zip I would have jumped on it. I tend to sleep on my right side and don't enjoy sleeping on the zipper. Boo Hoo.Jul 22, 2010 at 1:33 pm #1631419

I have a Megalite and I love it. I have made some quilts since then but I still go back to the Megalite. Mine has overfill and was worth every penny.Jul 22, 2010 at 1:35 pm #1631421

+1 for the WM
"Why mess around?"
You can get colored contacts if you're afraid it will clash with your eye color :-)Jul 22, 2010 at 4:47 pm #1631495
Well, well nothing but purple for the WM. Man I really dislike that color. The MB is $80 cheaper, comes in balsam green. Also gets more bonus points than the WM at Moontrail. Would like to hear more about the FF and the MB though. I agree you can't go wrong with the WM, but the color is a tough hurdle for me to get over. Thanks for all the insight so far.Jul 22, 2010 at 5:13 pm #1631509

I have three FF bags and have been very happy with them. I do have a Kestrel (reg in eVent) and really like it for both using as a bag on the ground and as a quilt in my hammock. Going with FF you can get some color choices (depending on what is in stock) along with fabric choices (Nanosphere, Epic, eVent) and overfill. With a bag being a long term purchase, get a color (and options) you can live with long term. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions concerning the Kestrel.

I have a FF swallow in epic, I love it. Quality is first rate, and the material seems very durable. Let me know if you want to come by and check it out in person.
PS: hope you got my email, I was out of town for a few days.

Thanks so much for the link. Don't know how I missed that one.Jul 23, 2010 at 2:20 pm #1631794
Well after thinking about it some more I have decided on a couple of things. Since this is to be my summer bag, I can go without the hood. Also no mummyesque type bag will be good for my gigantic feet. So I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a WM Mitylite. I can use it as a quilt in the hammock and should be plenty warm for summer use for me. I have a MB down inner top and bottom to supplement if needed. Plus the color is good too. And so is the price. Thanks everyone for all the useful input. Once again the BPL community comes through!Jul 23, 2010 at 5:09 pm #1631837

Ken, I own 3 WM bags and love them. I will never switch to a different manufacturer…..I love them that much. Oh and they are made in San Jose which doesn't hurt them too much!Jul 23, 2010 at 7:08 pm #1631868

Why not consider a down quilt? I use my GoLite Ultra 20 year round & have had it from 17-70 F. I am 6'1" & 215 lbs with size 12 feet & its variable girth is very flexible. Of course you will have to supplement the quilt with head insulation & extra clothing in the winter, but isn't dual use the norm with UL Backpacking? My quilt also only weighs 19 oz. My hiking buddy uses a Ray-Way synthetic quilt at the same temp. range & only slightly more weight (& might I add less cost).Jul 23, 2010 at 7:16 pm #1631875

I to have very wide shoulders. 52+ inch chest and 265lbs. most bag — hell most backpacking gear does NOT fit me.
As for the subject at hand, I was very comfortable with my WM megalite for a longtime. It was wide enough to fit and not compress the down to the point of it being useless. Construction wise, I still say that WM is probably one of the best out there that I have seen.
However, I will say that the first time I tried a Montbell SS I was sold. Twice as much "wiggle" room and just as warm. Built very well, but I think WM is slightly better if you were to ask me construction wise.
In any case, I've made the switch to Montbell and have not looked back. My bags of choice for all my excurions. I own the #1, #3 & #4.
Try one out… Decide for yourself.Jul 23, 2010 at 8:13 pm #1631892
Quilts. Have one. Wake up out from under it too often. I'm a thrasher. If I get one that attaches to the pad, well that doesn't sound like a great benefit to me when it comes time to pee. Zippers don't bug me, unless I'm laying on it. I think the mitylite might be the best of both worlds since I want something for the ground and in the hammock. Dual use.Jul 23, 2010 at 8:35 pm #1631899

TCS and Wipro are also trading firm following reports that Wal-Mart Store has shortlisted them for an $500 million outsourcing contract.
Stocks of state-run companies such as Mangalore Refineries, MMTC, Hndustan Copper and State Trade Corp are jumping more than 5% each amid reports that the government will raise Rs.6,500 crore billion from disinvestment in public sector units in the current financial year.

text: Director V Gowthaman of Sandhanakkadu fame is going to make a film on famous novel Thalaimuraigal written by veteran Tamil author Neela Padmanaaban. Gowthaman has already directed a film Kanave Kalayadhey with Surya, under the banner of Sivasakthi Pandian, a decade ago. He has successfully completed the TV serial on Veerappan, Sandhanakkadu that was telecasted in Makkal TV. After this serial, he is preferred to direct two films in a row instead of directing any more serials. Gowthaman Says, Many offers come to me in small screen industry to direct serials like Sandhanakkadu. But my aim is not to earn money. I never try to en cash real life heroes history in the media. I wished to convey the hidden facts in the case of Veerappan through Sandhanakkadu. I hope that I have succeeded in that effort. Now I shifted my focus on Cinema. I would like to produce some good movies for our next generation. Thalaimuraigal is considered as one of the 10 best novels in the modern history of Tamil novel literature. The cast and crew and other details of the film would be announced soon.

The rolling hills of Bantry
This is one of my favourite shots from the weekend in Bantry.
Basically I drove up the back roads out of Bantry town, then came to another town and picked the smallest road out of that place before going up a tiny little boithirin with barely room for my car. Wonderful.

The light is amazing – is this an HDR shot?

No, but I used the "PERFECTLY CLEAR" technology in Bibblelabs that gives that nice glowing feel to landscapes. Doesn't work so well with high contrast parts though.

Morning birds buckle under sleep pressure
Sleep-promoting system makes early risers inattentive by evening, study suggests
By Tina Hesman Saey, 15:35 PM April 23, 2009
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man sleepy and inattentive at twilight.
A new brain imaging study suggests morning people's circadian clocks can't resist the biological pressure to sleep, while night owls don't buckle as easily. The research, appearing in the April 24 Science, could change the way scientists view the relationship between sleep and the circadian clock.
Two systems control sleeping and waking — the circadian clock and the sleep homeostat. The circadian clock helps synch...

Gods in the Grove
Sarah was tossed to her feet. Stumbling she fell forward and caught herself with her hands. Staying on her hands and knees she waited as the pain receded. Then she blinked. Her eyes stared at the all too familiar ground beneath her.
Slowly Sarah stood. She was in The Grove, her Grove.
"Please," she whispered, "please God, don't let me be dead." Then she saw Jason.
"Jay!" Sarah ran toward him but stopped halfway there.
Something wasn't right. Hesitantly she stepped forward, past the spring. "Jay?"
He leaned against the dogwood, his face a mask of depression. He didn't look at her.
"Jason?" all her longing and concern came out in that one word.
She took another step closer.
His head slowly lifted, "Sarah?"
But he couldn't' seem to see her, though he reached out towards her. Before she could reach to him and take his hands he shimmered and disappeared. In his place now stood a man and woman clothed in blazing white.
"Have no fear child," the woman said as Sarah stumbled back, nearly falling into the spring.
"We are the Gods," the man stated.
"Gods?" Sarah asked regaining her composure.
The two looked at each other. Sarah couldn't interpret their look but they replied in unison.
"YES, THE GODS," their voices boomed through the Grove as they towered above the trees shining with a holy light.
Sarah closed her eyes, blinking back tears. Then they again stood before her, only their bright white robes marking them as supreme beings.
"Okay." Sarah swallowed. "Why?"
They exchanged glances again.
"Why what child," the woman asked gently.
"Why does everything I ever live for get taken away?" Sarah was on the verge of sobbing.
"Oh dear," the woman glanced at the man before continuing, "Has it really felt that way?" she was despondent.
"Yes" Sarah mumbled, suddenly feeling as if she'd just told her mother she hated her.
"Now Great-Grand-Moyther," the man put an arm around the woman. "We can't help the way HE did things. She's in our care now."
The woman brightened, "Very true."
"HE?" Sarah asked, she was now completely bewildered.
"Why The God of your world," the Great-Grand-Moyther began but the man interrupted her.
"We haven't time to explain Great-Grand-Moyther."
The woman sighed. "Of course, you are right Great-Grand-Fayther." She stepped forward, suddenly a more imposing figure. She placed her hands on Sarah's shoulders. Sarah's body shivered.
"Go back into life for your time has not come, there is still much for you to do." The Great-Grand-Moyther's voice echoed around the Grove.
The Great-Grand-Fayther lay his hands upon Sarah's head.
"GO" they said in unison.
Sarah suddenly felt very, very small. She was thrust down; down into the dark spring. She went with such force that she couldn't even scream.

Back on Day 132, I shared something a bit personal and embarrassing: I'm unemployed. In a nutshell, I didn't get any of the scholarships I applied for and my teaching contract with UCLA expired. With the budget cuts at UCLA, funds are tight and there weren't enough teaching jobs in my department for everyone. I applied for a few community college positions, but they weren't in the cards. Apparently we're in the middle of a recession or something! Thankfully, I have another UCLA teaching job lined up for April (and a possible very-cool-but-not-for-sure-and-I-don't-want-to-jinx-it-so-I-won't-tell-you opportunity in the works), but in the meantime I'm feeling like "the weakest link" in my marriage. (Michael, by the way, is a research "post-doc", which means he is basically "under-employed" or at least "under-paid". Such is the glamorous life of academia!)
I've "deserved" new clothes every few weeks, twice-monthly mani-pedis, and nice(ish) bottles of wine when I go out to dinner with friends. Michael, on the other hand, has "deserved" café coffees in the mornings, restaurant dinners on multiple weekdays (w/ microbrews, of course), and driving to work when he should ride the train. We've both "deserved" to have our own beloved cars, and to live in a 1,100 square foot apartment in San Francisco. Oh, and we just got married in a beautiful winery wedding with 130 guests, and went on a 2-week honeymoon in Hawaii. Yeah... life has been pretty good, and we've "deserved it" since we're both hard-working people. Except we can't afford all of these things. We've been chipping away at our savings each month, and it's time to make some changes before we end up in debt.
That was the embarrassing part. Here's the plan we came up with to get back on track:
|Where's E.T. ???
(Probably out looking for a job, or Taking Over Wall Street!)
Step 2: We're selling both of our cars, to be replaced by ONE sensible and less-expensive vehicle. I write from home, or volunteer at the About-Face office a few miles away, so I'll be biking a lot. (Good thing I totally adore my bike. Remember when I got it back on Day 84?)
Step 3: I applied for some of that "you're covered if you get hit by a car" health insurance, and we're purchasing generics of all prescription medications from Canada. Yes, seriously. Step 3 is saving us at least $300/month. And I was approved for my health insurance a few minutes ago!
Step 4: Michael is forgoing his morning lattes at Caffe La Stazione, and his evening microbrews at Serpentine.
Step 5: I'm putting myself on a fashion-diet. This means ZERO clothing purchases for the next 6 months. Ditto on makeup and mani-pedis.
Step 6:We're re-vamping our dining habits to be wholly based at home during the week. (I thoroughly enjoyed making use of my former-anorexic-food-obsessing skills to come up with a list of 10 affordable and healthy dinners, along with an accompanying "inventory list" of groceries which we'll keep on hand. Thank goodness for Trader Joe's!) We'll still eat at restaurants occasionally, but as a special thing instead of an "I don't feel like cooking" thing.
Step 7: We've decided to entirely forgo alcohol on "school nights." This was a major "Oh, I deserve this..." habit, and one that hurt our wallets, waistlines, and mental health. (Why is it that 2 glasses of Pinot feel can so blissfully relaxing in the evening, but then wreak havoc on my nerves the next day?) Good riddance!!
Step 8: Appreciate how blessed we are! It's time for us to stop "getting what we want" in favor of "wanting what we've got!" And we have a lot: wonderful family and friends; our health; each other; a fun apartment in a beautiful city; we're not actually in debt (yet); at least one of us has a solid job (thanks Michael!). We are blessed, even without all those little luxuries we used to "deserve."
So that's our plan. I'll seriously mourn my car, but the part that's causing me the most anxiety is Step 5. A few years ago I gave up new clothes for a year to save money, but this time it feels different, thanks to my no-mirrors pledge. Living without mirrors has lessened the frightful reign of vanity over my life, but I've clung to my mani-pedis (and occasional new outfit) for that sense of still being "me". I've thought, I'm still fashionable! I'm still put-together! I still deserve to indulge in some beauty routines! (There we go again with that word, deserve) But now it's obviously time to push myself a bit further. It's time to find the "fashionable me" in my resourcefulness and creativity, rather than in new stuff. THIS - along with the pride of financial solvency - is what I deserve. But it's still a little scary. (Though not as scary as going into debt.)
Any bits of practical money-saving advice? (Words of encouragement and budgeting / unemployment success stories are also much appreciated!)

True Beauty Unicorn Horn Whitener
Unsightly yellowing horn got you down?
Well wipe right off that good-for-nothing frown.
Use your True Beauty and a little charm,
And get a male unicorn on your arm.
Just because you're getting old and ugly,
Shouldn't prevent you from getting snugly
With hot young things with sparkling horns,
You're pretty, but not enough, unicorns.

I was expecting to see more. I felt that so much information was left out. However, it is worth the visit. Located inside a convent and it is easily accessible. Sadly, this is not wheelchair accessible.
This gem is small and gives you an overview of native indian life in the amazon. Has excellent map of tribal areas on wall, and interesting anthropology poster regarding facial features of the world's population. Yes it is an old museum, but it was open at 3 in the afternoon when the cultural centre museum was closed so it got...
Decided to walk a little out of the way from the main tourist attractions to visit here and am glad I did!! The museu is filled with indigenous artefacts, of which are quite interesting. They show REAL blowguns here, not cheap tourist ones. There is a variety of hammocks, headdresses, baskets, bowls, fishing nets and jewelry from years gone by...
The Catholic Sisters run this compact but very user-friendly museum. In 45 minutes you can get an outstanding perspective on the enormous biodiversity and history of the Amazon region. The displays are somewhat antiquated but very well maintained, and the staff if very helpful. Worth the visit and the small donation, saves time and money from visiting larger, less organized...
This fusty old museum is full of artifacts collected by missionaries throughout the twentieth century. Their treatment of the indigenous culture is what you would expect. We paid ten reais per head. It has about five rooms full of authentic artifacts that my traveling companions, who were reluctant to come at first, were happy to have come to see.
In the Museo do Indio you'll find qualified staff (guides with English, Spanish), and most of all also few rooms with everyday tools and objects used by Indigenas - mainly Yonomami, but also with tribes from the Xingu river (Mato Grosso) - from the places, where Salesian Sisters were working with Indigenas. There are rooms about food, agriculture, hunting, babies,...
It's a small museum, 5 rooms with artifacts from indian populations from the amazon mostly. It's interesting and you can see it all with some detail in a short time. They have guides that speak english, and a shop. The admission price was 10 reais,which at the time of this review was less than 5 us dollars. If you are...
Despite being not very large, and being quite simple, this museum is quite interesting. The nuns that maintain it are nice and there is an interesting section on early medical equipment.
ran by nuns. The rest of the building is a school. It's very old fashioned in terms of its style and displays but there some fascinating artefacts . The shop is excellent for baskets and decorative items , Don't pass them up .,, get them from the shop as its unlikely you'll find find similar elsewhere and if you do...
Could be better kept, and it shows the years, however, a nice collection of original items obtained from different Indio tribes of the Amazon region, and kept on display by the nuns in an annex to the school they run. It is a very educative insight into many utensils and other items of the regional amerindians.

Review: Pardus Linux 2007.2
Wait... Par-what?
-Pardus is a rising distribution.
-Pardus is made in Turkey.
-Pardus has superb hardware detection. Right off the Live CD, it detected my native 1280x800 screen resolution and wireless networking card, a feat that only ELive 1.0 has matched.
-Pardus uses KDE.
Should give you a good idea of what to expect.
Pardus comes in two varieties, "Calisan" and "Kurulan" images. The "Calisan" image is a live CD, while the "Kurulan" disk installs almost 3 gigabytes of software. (I did a "df" after the install.) The "Calisan" disk worked flawlessly, with the exception that I wasn't close enough to get any Wifi signals. It even, as I said, detected my native screen resolution. W00t.

To God Be The Glory!
Great things He has done! Since 1999, our God through His only Son, Jesus Christ, has allowed Heat Tape Solutions, Inc. to be a part of His plan to "seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick." (Ezek 34:16)
Every day we are blessed to share the love of Christ with people while applying Tyco RayChem heating systems at residential, commercial and industrial project sites. The salvation of the lost is our #1 goal and thanks to people like you, we are available for the Lord to do what He will with us. We praise God for you.
Salvation and the Roman Road
Salvation in Jesus is explained in the book of Romans using what has come to be known as the "Roman Road." First, I understand that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (3:23) Knowing that everyone has sinned, except our Lord Jesus Christ, gives me the need for Jesus to intercede on my behalf for salvation from an eternity in hell.
Next, I know that "the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (6:23) This verse explains the inevitability of death, but the options that we have afterward; that all of us are human and that we will all be judged by God once we pass away. For God gave his only Son "that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (5:8)
Because I am a sinner, Jesus Christ was crucified by man and died on the cross at Calvary. He spent three days in a tomb before rising from the dead, appearing to His disciples and ascending into Heaven.
By obeying Romans 10:9 - "confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved," we can be absolutely certain that when He comes again in Glory to judge the living and the dead, we "will be saved." Allelujah!

On a small excursion to Greece.Rhodes to be exact!
... br> On Thursday morning we rejoiced in the luxury of sleeping in and eating breakfast after the tour groups left the hotel.
Then we walked the 4.5 km along the seafront to the old city of Rhodes. On the edges of the ancient building there is a very nice shopping area and we took some time to browse in the shops before we walked in the old town finding a lovely restaurant at the end of a ...
Gyros and Jamming
... budget tickets a few days before you travel. My plan was to go by train from Athens to Thessaloniki as it is a well documented route and sounds great. My ticket cost me €29 but if you book earlier 3/4 weeks in advance you can get some tickets for just €9. Thessaloniki is going to be fun to stay tuned for that one.
Tomorrow I fly from Rhodes to Athens and into the madness of city life... I wonder if it can handle ...
A rainy afternoon in Rhodes town
... while Dan hustled across town to get into the Jewish Museum before closing time. It's adjacent to a beautiful synagogue, Kal Kadosh Shalom. We joined up later at Archeology to see a Louvre-mounted exhibition on Rhodes as the gateway to the ancient Eastern ...
The Old Town and its enchantment
... It really is a must see. Check out the pictures and video for more on this. There are plenty of tourist market stalls around but pleasingly no hard sell and a polite no is enough. Smoking I think has not been banned here and I really noticed it but not enough to spoil my wandering. I took a tour train for just 6 euro again around the old town and there really are some wonderful parks and statues and such. Rhodes really is worth a visit it's sunny, the people are friendly and ...
Symi simply scintillating
... narrowing port, right in the centre of town, towering above the boats and buildings edging the shoreline. We disembarked and walked around the main street enjoying the scenery, checking out some of the souvenir shops, and enjoyed watching Greek dancing outside a restaurant.
Back on board the Celestyal Crystal for sailing approximately 8.00pm. As we ...

The poems
As Cathy read through the poems every day she found a common theme. Either a dier need for someones love or a forbidden love. Her heart raced very strongly when she read a certain poem and she found her self whispering a line from the book every now and then. This did get her a few weird glances from the other maids.
She often found herself blushing when they glanced over but that didnt stop Cathy sneaking off for just one moment to read one more page. Then one day she found herself rushing to the market on her day off to buy herself a journal. So inspired by the poetry she sat and began writing her own.
The poetry was amateur but Cathy found it a very easy way to express her emotions for Charles. Then one day she approached him clutching her journal to her chest. He looked up from where he sat at a desk in the libary. When their eyes met Cathy could swear she saw a flicker of the same emotion she felt for him in his eyes. She took a sharp breath and held out her journal.
"What's this?" he asks as Cathy hands it to him.
"I've given a go at some poetry" she whispers as Charles rises and moves to the sofas. He gestures to the seat next to him. Cathy moves slowly and sits next to him making sure she's not too close. Charles flicks open the book and then looks up at the maid.
"This is quite good" he says then begins to recite one.
'For the heaven I wish to be,
The love of someone I know who loves me,
For the light of the sun that glows so bright,
I wish my love would bless my sight,
So come to me my dear one,
For I know you are the one'
When Cathy's eyes meet his then. Her heart begins to race and slowly he leans across. His lips press on hers and Cathy for a moment does nothing before lightly kissing back. This must be a dream, she thinks.
