Recreating the running of the bulls -- American style
PETERSBURG, Va. -- It was here, out in the sticks of southern Virginia, on a drag strip covered with dirt on which man tempted beast at the Great Bull Run -- the first event of its kind held on American soil -- that I learned the consequences of insatiable bloodlust.
For centuries, thrill-seekers from all over the world have flocked to the Festival of San Fermin in Pamplona, Spain, to run with bulls through a winding track of cobblestone streets. The event is infamous for its brutality and just as beloved for never wavering from it, for not giving a damn about how many animal rights groups gripe, how many tourists get hospitalized or how many bulls gore how many bothersome human obstacles. A reported 15 people have been killed at the festival since 1910. After each race, held every day for a week, the bulls are killed in the arena. Then the masses celebrate and binge on rotgut sangria.
I am as culpable when it comes to this barbarism as anyone. I ran in Pamplona in 2011. I narrowly escaped a life-threatening ramming after three steers stopped a few feet in front of me and sent me recoiling into the fetal position up against a brick wall. And I loved it. I felt changed by it. I discovered some hidden hunger for cheating death and being able to brag about it, even though the cruel ordeal is designed to handicap the animals. But there was something acceptable about thriving on that sort of sadism since it is nestled deep in the hills of Spain, far from my less-adventurous, better-behaved self in my own country.
Alas, joining this savage revelry requires a costly trip. So a year ago, Rob Dickens, 35, and Brad Scudder, 31, co-owners of Rugged Maniac, a series of 5-kilometer obstacle racing events held across the U.S., conceived a classic idea. Why go abroad, when we could just try to outrun death right here in America? Furthermore, why hold just one race a year, when several races could be run in one day several times a year? As with egg rolls or pizza, in America, inauthenticity doesn't matter if the bootleg version delivers gluttonous pleasure on the cheap.
If the Great Bull Run, as Dickens dubbed his event, could offer frequent, accessible danger -- particularly the near-death kind -- then it would be a success.
The tour scheduled three events for 2013 and another nine for 2014. It broke ground this year in August on a Saturday in Dinwiddie County -- 30 minutes south of Richmond -- at Virginia Motorsports Park, with 4,000 runners (each of whom paid between $25 and $75 to run) and another 8,000 spectators (who paid $10 to watch). Framed with the same metal railing used for rodeos, the track was the width of a small-town street and ran for a quarter-mile -- just a few feet wider and half the distance of the route in Pamplona. Organizers spent $40,000 on rodeo-regulation dirt to ensure the safety of the bulls, which was clearly a politically-correct (translation: American) touch. After all, the animals are the glorified wrecking balls, not the object of demolition.
"It's like NASCAR: Everyone wants to see a wreck," Dickens said. "I don't want to see a goring. But would a goring be bad for business? Probably not."
In Pamplona, they use six bulls and six steers. Dickens raised the bar. He brought a combination of 24 to Virginia. Unlike bulls bred for bullfighting, rodeo bulls, despite their bucking, are not trained to trample people. They are more accustomed to us and, thus, thought to be safer for this spectacle. But inside the bullpen before the race, they flashed their quick-trigger aggression and potential for destruction, rattling the railings of the bullpen with mere shifts in body weight.
"See right there, he's shredded," said one of the uniformed policemen standing beside the bullpen. He was gazing in admiration at a brindled 1,700-pounder. "Just a beautiful animal."
Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder who is not trying to outrun these Volkswagen-sized animals. All I saw was nearly half a ton of stink, snot and bulging muscle. Watching them was rather nauseating. When one bull urinated, another ducked into the stream to cleanse its face. Feces piled up in layers. The fetid odor seemed to penetrate brain tissue. The bulls mounted each other with alarming regularity, as if they did not recognize they were among their own, impregnable kind. Or perhaps these brutes simply didn't care. The sight reinforced an already strong impulse I had to stay clear of them.
With a GoPro camera strapped to my chest to capture the pandemonium, my plan was simple: see the bulls, dash to the rails and let them go by. I employed a similar scheme in Spain. If I could say I stood in the way of the herd even briefly, that I participated in this lunacy, hell, had this entire mad dash (and undeniable compensation for some deep-seeded insecurity) documented, I could gloat.
But I, along with every other daring sprinter, did not know Dickens would call an audible. Although he had already secured 10 Bull Run events through next year, he was still experimenting, still adjusting the ratio of runners to bulls, still searching for the sweet spot of terror. It has to be safe but still stupid and dangerous -- still desirable. Having originally scheduled four races with 1,000 participants and two-dozen bulls in each, Dickens divided everything in half. Now the event would feature eight races with 500 people and 12 bulls running the track. The math held true, but there was clearly no science behind this. It was a cage match. It would be a victory to escape unscathed.
Runners lined up before the track gates, and the giddy energy spread like contagion. There were men in tie-dye speedos, clown wigs, day-glow body paint, capes, luchador masks, one with braids curled into enormous Satanic-looking bull horns and another in a shirt emblazoned with Justin Bieber's face. There were women not wearing much at all. I must have had a mischievous grin on my face, eager to capture that naughty thrill of doing something I shouldn't be doing, the thrill that could result only from condoned chaos.
But once I stepped inside the rails and settled halfway up the track, seeing the lip-smacking, eye-bulging crowd of thousands, apprehension crept in. I saw the grim faces of the runners around me. I heard their doubts and started to share them.
"My sister said she gets my Camaro if I die," one scrawny, slouched sap said to his buddy, who laughed nervously.
I took a quick informal poll and no one else had a strategy, no one offered up much more than a shrug. Another guy crossed himself and said a Hail Mary.
Some misguided 54-year-old confessed that he was only running this because he idolized Ernest Hemingway. There was nothing romantic about this, I thought. I remembered my primal fear from Pamplona: I had pinned myself up inside a shallow doorway when the sea of starchy white-clad runners ripped open, a massive brown blur flashed by and frightened me with a ferocious hiss of bovine breath.
Now, in Middle-of-nowhere Virginia, I wondered if I would relive that rare jolt of sheer terror.
The gates opened and the bulls trotted out in a cluster before quickly accelerating to a gallop. Then the herd segmented unexpectedly. A young, brown bull jetted out in front, swung his head wildly back and forth and sprinted forward, alone, like a fear-seeking missile. Screams erupted and runners diverted to the side or leapt up over the railings.
I reached behind me for the nearest pole, clenched it and stood my ground, letting what seemed like a flood of panicked people sweep past me. Sure, I panicked a bit, but I stood at a comfortable distance. I wanted the fun of seeing the bull bob and weave and maybe even bulldoze someone less fortunate. Apparently, my instinct was not to run for my life but to ogle.
I had a clear shot of the rogue bull, a mean-looking bastard. The rest caught up shortly after. And then, as quickly as that forbidden excitement came, I watched the flopping tails fade into crowd and the thrill left me.
"Is that it?" said a nearby runner, who wore a shirt that read Balls Deep.
There were more grumblings than just his. Runners wandered the track wondering if another group of bulls was yet to be released. But that was it. The announcer instructed everyone to exit so that another group could jump on.
Initially, I figured I would run the next heat and maybe the one after that, starting at different points and employing different strategies to see whether the experiences might vary.
But they didn't. I crept a bit closer to the middle and watched another batch of bulls go by. In the next run, the bulls encroached a bit closer to me, but still, that was not enough.
I ran for a fourth time. And then a fifth. And then a sixth. With each run, the thrill diminished and my arrogance swelled.
Something about it was just ... too easy. There was a bit too much room to wriggle away, a few too many chances to hop the railings. Without the fear of feeling trapped in a gutter with a bowling ball barreling from behind, runners can respectfully share this track as they would a street with a bike lane.
It's a strange thought -- a sick thought -- but I wanted to be afraid. I could not feel courageous. I was unsatisfied. Many of us were.
I did meet one man, Brent Morris, a 44-year-old designer for Hewlett-Packard from Raleigh, N.C., who squeaked with joy upon comparing his experience to swimming with dolphins. This was all the evidence I needed to determine the Bull Run was lukewarm at best.
Throughout the day, Dickens debriefed with a brain trust of event staff and the contractors who'd shipped the bulls in from Kentucky. The bulls had head-butted a few people, but the men agreed that the format had to change for the final heat.
One coordinator removed his cowboy hat, waved it over his shoulder, as if throwing caution to the wind, and said, "Let's give 'em what they want."
In the seventh and final race, they ripped off the safety seal. They would release 24 bulls at once into a swarm of 700 people. Runners panted with renewed excitement and filled out the track more densely.
But these were almost entirely people who had ran earlier, who sought redemption for the letdown and perhaps felt like taking some more liberties on this final shot. I know I did. I planned on venturing further into the middle of the track -- the line of fire -- than I had before. I wanted to feel the ground shake and the bulls whisk by. I needed more contact. We all did. Or thought we did.
It was impossible to recognize then that this ambition was foolhardy. A collective ego ballooned as the opening of the gates neared. Most runners surely believed they were getting better. But on the whole, we were lulled into a false confidence.
They let out the bulls and this time more people stood waiting than before. Instead of darting down the sides, the crowd lurched and stalled in large, sluggish clumps. Suddenly, everything felt faster than before. The crowd split more violently, the screams traveled faster, from further away, and the bulls appeared closer. The bulls swept through the middle in tandem file in one large group, followed by another and then, finally, another. This was the high-risk recipe for which we yearned.
I did in fact step closer into the middle and enjoy an overwhelming rush to the cortex that for a second or two allowed me to focus solely on the bulls. I heard the hiss of the stampede and felt a pleasant chill.
I sprinted to the end of the track, glimpsing the bulls' backsides one final, glorious time. I fist-bumped a shirtless stranger.
Then the not-so-unthinkable happened. Rumors of injury traveled quickly. I turned around and saw that a crowd had gathered three-fourths of the way up the track, with everyone looking down at the ground. Seven people surrounded a young man. He had bushy-hair and a ragged beard to match. Scratches and scrapes on his knees trickled blood. His shirt bunched up in his neck, exposing his belly. Event staff would later say they watched three or four bulls stomp him, that they saw the hoof-prints and bruising on his arms.
At first, the young man was non-responsive, his body splayed as if it had fallen from a building. A shirtless meathead standing next to me gazed down awestruck at the human wreckage, feeding off the voyeurism. He hooted, raised his arms and ignited applause, glorifying the brutality. He bellowed: "All hail the bulls, baby!" And then he gave his expert medical assessment: "This happens in football sometimes. They get blown up."
When the surrounding people managed to awaken the trampled young man, he squirmed. They tried talking with him, but he attempted to fight them off. They had to physically restrain his limbs for his own protection.
He looked deranged, likely having been concussed. Now he was aroused and completely unaware of where he was or why strangers were grappling with him. His eyes darted back and forth rapidly. He let out a gravelly, bloodcurdling squeal: "Pleeeeeeeeeese! Heeeeeeeelp!"
I recorded it all on my Go Pro and have since watched the footage of him several times. Unlike with the number of races I ran, seeing the man in pain has not gotten easier. Event staff later gave an injury report for the day. Two people were carted off in an ambulance and both suffered concussions. I don't know if the man I saw on the ground was one of them.
The final run had proved to be the peak of a depraved fantasy and a more depraved reality, for which I feel somewhat responsible. It was too dangerous. But too dangerous was what I wanted.
"Hell, it was fun," Preston Fowlkes Jr. said with a cackle. Fowlkes is a bushy-eyebrowed stock contractor from Crofton, Ky., who owns Lone Star Rodeo Company. If the stampeding beasts are the monsters of this grand experiment, Fowlkes is its Dr. Frankenstein.
The demand for more danger was clear, so at the following race a month later near Atlanta, Fowlkes brought more-hostile bulls, including two that were bred for Mexican bull fighting. And whereas in Virginia the animals were released a dozen at a time with the exception of the final heat, in Georgia they stormed out in packs of 18 for each race. Still, of the 3,200 participants, only one man suffered serious injuries: his pelvis was broken in three places.
"After Atlanta, it still wasn't quite enough," Dickens said on the eve of the final Bull Run this year, which will be on December 7 in Houston. This begs the urgent question when confronted by any instance of reckless adventure, of unhinged desire, of blatant greed: Will it ever be enough?
The new plan is to multiply the devastating final event in Virginia: 24 bulls will be unleashed for each run.
Oh, and there will be more Mexican fighting bulls, of course.
"I don't know what he has found for us," Dickens said of Fowlkes, his supplier. "But he has supposedly found more aggressive bulls."
Fowlkes has, in fact, been withholding his most destructive artillery.
"Son, I got 15 at home," he said, grinning and boasting about his merciful restraint. "It would've been like a lawn mower."

Posted on Friday, December 2 @ 12:10:43 PST by Joe_DodsonWow. What a crazy week for video game politics. Things got silly right off the bat when NIMF (the National Institute of Media and the Family) tried to add a new letter to the ESRB in the form of a D+. Then, citing this lousy grade, Senators Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman introduced their new "Family Entertainment Protection Act," Federal legislation that would make selling sexy or violent games to children illegal.
While this new legislation is hardly surprising given Senator Clinton's reaction to the Hot Coffee fiasco, it's infuriating to think that the same woman who is crusading to get violent games out of the hands of children said two weeks ago an immediate pullout from Iraq would a "big mistake." She's against American children pretending to shoot people, but for young American men and women getting shot. Lady, we're supposed to be at war for the next ten years. Our kids need practice!
We shouldn't be taking Counter Strike out of Johnny's hands, we should be putting it in his classroom!
All animals, not just American children, pretend to kill each other. Few animals, though, have to fight heavily armed Iraqi insurgents. So of all, why should American young be the ones dissuaded from violent play? Bringing up peace-loving, passive youth and then shipping them to Iraq is just about the most ironic, f**ked up thing I've thought of all day. We're feeding our kids to a meat grinder while our Senators crusade against violent games. Talk about big mistakes.
And speaking of meat grinders, those crazy-asses at NIMF are citing cannibalism as the newest, fear-worthy epidemic in gaming. Referring to F.E.A.R., where it is implied that the main bad guy is eating the guts of a fallen soldier, N.I.M.F. President David Walsh says "It's something we've never seen before."
What, was he home-schooled? Where Walsh is clueless, Joe Lieberman is ludicrous, saying "It's just the worst kind of message to kids." What message is that? Eat people? Oh well, I guess Senators Lieberman and Clinton are experts on sending the worst kinds of messages.

Attached the Fix.
The patch looks good..
There are different conditions in which the flag gets set to false.
If the Index is stale (Common Index files of slave does not exist in master
or are of different size, or with different timestamp - isIndexStale method)
or more newer than the master (slave generation > master generation) a full
index download is performed.
In our case we do a clean build so the files on on slave don't exist on
master and hence the flag is set to false.
Are we setting "successfulInstall" and "deleteTmpIdxDir" properly when replicating config files in method fetchLatestIndex ?
Shall we replace:
if (isFullCopyNeeded) { modifyIndexProps(tmpIndexDir.getName()); } else { successfulInstall = copyIndexFiles(tmpIndexDir, indexDir); }
if (isFullCopyNeeded) { successfulInstall = modifyIndexProps(tmpIndexDir.getName()); deleteTmpIdxDir = false; } else { successfulInstall = copyIndexFiles(tmpIndexDir, indexDir); }
THis might be related to the same issue.
You added the additional patch after the issue was closed. It will not be picked up.
This is an IMPORTANT issue that needs to be added to the trunk. Can a committer please add it?
Thanks, I just committed this!

Looks great, lightweight, long run-time on battery.
Cannot expand beyond 1 GIG of RAM. Does not recognize any manufacturer's 2GIG stick, even Toshiba's own. Toshiba has ignored customer requests as to a response, let alone fix, for this issue.
Other Thoughts:
This is a dealbreaker for me. If I had known Toshiba lied on the spec sheet about expansion to 2 GIG of RAM I would not have bought this netbook.

Chinese Food Question about syntax?
Question about chinese food?
Isn't Japanese food FAR BETTER than Chinese food Chinese food is disgusting! What do you think?
I think you should stop posting questions about a Japanese superiority that doesn't exist.
Do you like Chinese food I used to buy my Chinese food from this place in manhattan.?
To many people never come in to claim their orders and that's one way to eliminate wasted food. It's not odd but good sense. Not really just some odd people working at my favorite restaurant.
What do you think about chinese food?
Well, it all depends. The stuff served in the western countries is prepared in a way that suits the local people more and those dishes taste nothing like the originals in China. And there's more to...

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 is the graphics card that PC builders on a budget have been waiting for. Unlike Nvidia's top-end GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 cards, however, the GTX 1060 faces competition from AMD in the form of the Radeon RX 480.
With competition comes aggression, and the GTX 1060 is far closer to the RX 480 in terms of price than most were imagining. It's more expensive and more powerful – but is it worth it? As it turns out, if you have the extra cash then, yes, it is.
Update: Since my original review of the GTX 1060, Nvidia quietly launched a 3GB, slightly less powerful version of the card. The 3GB GTX 1060 still uses the same GP106 GPU as the most expensive version but with slightly slower clock speeds and fewer CUDA cores. I have started to test two models that are physically identical (but with the different number of CUDA cores and memory) and so far the results are largely as expected.
The 3GB model appears to be between 2% and 10% slower than the 6GB version in most games I tested, although there is an outlier in the form of Rise of the Tomb Raider that resulted in a 1440p benchmark that was nearly 20% slower. Trusted won't be releasing full results until I've conducted further analysis, so stay tuned for my full comparison.
My original review continues below.
The GPU is based on a new Nvidia chip, the GP106. The headline-grabbing GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 cards both used the GP104.
So as far as chip design is concerned, instead of taking the form of a "binned" GP104 – a chip that wasn't good enough to be a 1080 or 1070 – the GTX 1060 is a completely different product.
However, there are things that remain. The GTX 1060 is powered by the same Pascal architecture as its more expensive siblings, and therefore benefits from the 16-nanometre manufacturing process that enables Nvidia to cram more transistors on a given piece of silicon – without increasing power consumption and heat to the same degree.
The GTX 1060 has 1,280 CUDA cores performing the bulk of the graphics legwork, which is more than the 1,024 found on the previous-generation GeForce GTX 960. Intriguingly, the GTX 1060 has a higher boost clock speed than its bigger brother, the GTX 1070, topping out at 1.7GHz.
With a different chip design and fewer CUDA cores, the clock speed won't translate to better performance, but the GTX 1060 should be able to play games at Full HD and 1440p – and that's before we get to overclocking.
Away from the graphics chip itself, the GTX 1060 has 6GB of GDDR5 memory. This is 2GB less than the AMD Radeon RX 480, but still more than enough for today's modern games at Full HD and 1440p resolutions. The memory runs at 8Gbits/sec, which is standard these days for GDDR5 memory.
Related: Best Graphics Cards 2016
Nvidia quotes the card as consuming 120W of power – significantly less than the RX 480's quoted 150W – so the GTX 1060 should fit nicely into builds where power consumption and heat are limiting factors, such as home-theatre PCs and games console replacements.
The GTX 1060 is Nvidia's cheapest VR-ready graphics card, which could prove to be a big selling point for those who are considering buying a headset in the next year or so.
I was sent in the Founders Edition of the GTX 1060, which is a more expensive, Nvidia-built version of the card. In all likelihood this won't be the version you end up buying, since Nvidia's partners will likely have their own cheaper, custom versions in short order.
Still, it's a great-looking card with die-cast aluminium highlights and a black plastic shroud. It isn't the metal-fest of the 1070 or 1080, but it looks exciting nonetheless.
It's just 9.8 inches in length, with just under a third of the length a result of an extended plastic shroud that contains some of the cooling kit and the fan. Expect third-party manufacturers to produce extremely compact versions of the 1060, with cards suitable for ultra-small desktops and living-room PCs.
You get three DisplayPort connectors, an HDMI 2.0b port and a DVI port here. The DisplayPort 1.4a connectors are ready for HDR gaming, too.
Simple answer is nope. RX 480 is pretty much best GPU value :D
I'm impressed your "typical gaming system" is almost bang on my PC's specification. Very useful considering the approach often taken is to throw in the best of everything in order to remove bottlenecks. Your approach shows benchmark results representing what the consumer can reasonably expect rather than combining a mid range GPU with top spec CPU, mobo, etc which would be somewhat unlikely in a real gaming machine.
It is, although if your budget is slightly higher this is well placed price wise compared to the 8GB RX 480. It's the 4GB which is a problem for it but also there's the question of if 4GB of RAM is going to become quickly outdated (I suspect not as most people buying this sort of card are going to be on 1080 monitors). Whilst one card might represent the best price/performance combination, it is perfectly reasonable to spend £20 or so more for a decent bump in performance which may well mean this card is viable for another generation of games rather than needing to be replaced relatively quickly. I'm hoping AMD get some direct competition for this card as well and then they'll have the mid range sewn up. Price and performance never scale linearly.... unfortunately for my wallet.
It is nice to see benchmarks being carried out on machines that aren't just simply the best of everything available, however this PC spec they describe is pretty much nearer top-end. It's all very modern components, and I'd say is way above mid-range gaming PCs.
Steam's June 2016 average hardware:
System RAM 8 GB 32.50% +0.40%
Intel CPU Speeds 2.3 Ghz to 2.69 Ghz 21.06% +0.33%
Physical CPUs 2 cpus 47.76% -0.37%
Video Card Description NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 5.05% +0.11%
Primary Display Resolution 1920 x 1080 36.50% -0.31%
Just remember that incudes casual gamers as well as people playing hardware intensive games. The average system for example FPS games will be significantly different to the average system on steam.
lol a delusional AMD fanboy
Indeed. I was merely making my point that the 'average' system used in the above benchmarks isn't actually an average gaming computer, but more an average-enthusiast machine spec from the last 6 months... AKA 'high spec'.
"The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 is the graphics card that PC builders on a budget have been waiting for"
No it isn't. Gamers on a budget buy the 750Ti or the 950. The 1060 is for gamers who are not on a budget and want the best possible experience at 1080/60.
Agreed, and have just posted something similar myself above. A friend recently needed to upgrade his PC to play Fallout 4. Want to know what his upgrade was? Athlon X2 replaced with a Phenom X4 (£40 on Ebay) and a Radeon 6770 replaced with a Radeon 270 (£60 on Ebay). This is a budget system. Anything containing a Geforce 1060 isn't even remotely close to a budget system.
Remember, if you're writing for or commenting on TR then you absolutely aren't a typical user, you're the 1% of hardcore users.
The "average" FPS game would be, what? CS:Go? Team Fortress 2? Games that run happily on a Core 2 Duo. Average gamers play Starcraft, WoW, LoL, DOTA2, L4D2, Skyrim on dual core CPUs with 1Gb vRAM.
Yeh that's fair play. I accept your point. My PC is pretty much the same aside from being a generation previous on the CPU (makes little difference as Intel is sandbagging) and a little less RAM and a slightly older but top end GPU. On review I think you're probably right that the average mainstream is probably a lot lower spec and this does represent likely over a grands worth of components which most people would be unwilling to put into a PC.
It's handy it's close to my spec but I accept I was living in my nerd bubble and incorrect suggesting it was close to a real life mainstream spec.
You must be new around here.
You're not supposed to agree with people on the internet.
Having witnessed Internet arguments from IRC to yahoo chat to youtube and this new disquss thing I have to say what I've learnt is there's no better way to learn than to admit you don't know it all. Someone else will always know things you don't and an open, yet critical mind is the best way to approach these things. Sometimes I'm sure I'm right and I will back up my views but when someone else has a good point or makes a good case it hampers your own learning to be bloody minded in the hope of never being wrong. Nerds are all about learning and expanding the mind and arguing pointlessly detracts from this.
Except for the fact all the benchmarks are in 2560x1440 which is not what normal people who don't have the best are gaming at. It would have been better to include benches at 1920x1080
I agree to a point. I think the mid range has shifted to 1440 performance and for 1080 you might well be looking at a lower spec card. Still an analysis on this point would have been useful.
nope..if you live in US maybe it is..but not worldwide (considering the price)...was considering highly to buy this GPU until the benchmarks came out..disappointing with its high heat (80-84 degree under full load) + it is as if barely matching the gtx 970 let alone the 980 as it was announced..well checked out the price getting a gtx 1060 for the same price of a rx 480 ... so the choice is simple
+ want to add that my 3 yrs old amd gpu is on the death bed while my older nvidia gpu still kick ass as it got a short circuit like issue (disassemble it cleaned it reassembled it and put it back - working like nothing happened) p.s: this is a personal experience ...
How about some Vulkan and DX12 games? That's the future of PC gaming.
DX11 games always run much worse on AMD cards. It makes this review seem a bit biased towards Nvidia.
This shows the RX480 having a clear and noticeable lead over Nvidia's hardware. Does Nvidia get to choose what games are used in the test?
Not really...gamers buy the middle ground cards like the 970, 1070, 390, or 480. A 750Ti or 950 is not a gamers card...unless all you play is angry birds...
According to all the surveys of PC gamer hardware 1080 is overwhelmingly the resolution of choice...nothing else is even close. Only gaming review sites and benchmark fans run anything higher...
As a gamer I find the 750Ti great for Sudoku.
my 750ti has happily powered my Oculus Rift DK2 for 2 years.
don't knock it.
*Looks at my 30" 2560x1600 and 27" 2560x1440 monitors". Guess I must be either a game reviewer or a benchmark fan then, because it surely isn't possible to enjoy a high resolution monitor as anything but that.
Yes, exactly, that's my point, the 970/1070 absolutely are "gamers cards", which is not the same thing as a "budget card". A Geforce 950 only for playing Angry Birds? Come on now.
Lol, ik. It's amazing how a guy can sit in a room and decide what the rest of the world are doing, right off the top of their head. Ouija board? :)
I have a 1440p and in my opinion it's definitely the way to go for practically every desktop purpose, in view of the capabilities of latest generation video cards - they're wasted on 1080p. If I'm going to pay £240+ for a card, then I'm willing to pay the same for a 1440p monitor to see its full benefits. Still, some claim they can't see any advantage of 1440p over 1080p. I have nothing polite to say to that.

Galloway's Lying and I Can't Say a Word
O'Toole had donuts at the desk, evidently, a thank you from the Krispy Kreme man for one of officers clearing his front door of a homeless crazy. "MacKenzie. Galloway's looking for you. Donut?"
I refused the donut but did take some time to get a fresh cup of coffee. I was stalling. I knew it. But I'm just not good at playing poker and that is what I was going to have to do with Galloway, bluff my way through it. I took a deep breath, turned the glass knob on his door, "Captain, you needed to see me?"
"Yes, Ian, come in." Galloway was there in his white shirt and his trademark red suspenders, his wire frame reading glasses half-dangling out his pocket. He was about to drag me into his lies and I wasn't going to be able to say a word.
"Ian, I wanted to bring you up to date on this Patrick Flanagan murder."
"Yea, you said we got something on that goon of Macready's?"
Galloway was playing it smooth. "Yea, we got a positive ID from a tipster who saw him toss the gun. MacKenzie, I wish they all were this easy."
"Yea, Captain. That'd make life a whole lot easier, wouldn't it?"
"I'll need your notes from the murder scene, so I can get this file over to the prosecutors. Do you think you could get them typed up by noon?"
"No problem, Cap.""And MacKenzie, any progress on the O'Hara girl. I got a call from Wild Bill's attorney checking on the progress."
"Sorry, Cap. Using up a lot of shoe leather, but it's dead in the water as dead could be."
Galloway returned to his desk chair, his way of signaling that your time was now over. He closed with the request, "Ian. Keep me up-to-date on that case. I don't want this whole affair to blow up in our faces."
"Gotcha, Captain. When I know, you'll know."
On the return trip past O'Toole's tall desk, I did grab a donut. I eat when I'm stressed. I hate lying and I didn't know who did the more lying just then, me or Galloway. "H'mm, caramel frosted. That's different."
In my mailbox, more administrative junk, another card from the Commissioner inviting us to some awards event - we give out more plaques- and my self-delivered reminder note ... PICK UP LAUNDRY AT CHANG'S ON FRIDAY. I'm not sure why I have such a problem remembering that but I do.
Before I could get to my desk, O'Toole bellowed. "MacKenzie, the D.A.s office called. They want you to swing by this morning. I've got the case number. They need your file, pronto."
"I'm on it."
I got the old Underwood to work clicking out words. They typing itself is not all that hard; it's all those carbon copies you have to make that makes it such a pain. But I really didn't have all that much to say and I figured Galloway simply wanted my signature going on record as being tied in with this case. As I typed I kept thinking, "Watch out, Mac, you're about to get involved in a whole lot of regret."

Naming Amarna Miller "Belle de Jour" is honestly a bit misleading because Amarna is beautiful any day of the year. We have the honour of witnessing Amarna waking up as Juan Lucho comes to surprise her armed with a bowl of strawberries and ready for some Private morning exercises. She wakes up slowly, feeling the soft touch of strawberries on her lips and is surprised to notice Juan wanting to give her something a bit more. A spectacular first time get together between these two Spanish stars!

The Family du CoudrayMature
Vampire story; but not 'Twi*****' vampires; Gothic ones.
Family of vampires living in the Border Princes (to get the most out of it, you really need to know about Games Workshops WHFB)
Called, du Coudray.
Chapter 1
In the Border Princes, Castile du Coudray, tall spires casting spindly shadows of Gothic elegance over the lands it called du Coudray Suggero. Inside, in the Great Hall, sat fourteen figures. A huge window, at the east end of the building, let in the light of the two moons, which cast a silvery pallor over the scene.
One of the figures, his face a dark shadow because of his position with his back to the window, sat upon a chair that was almost throne-like in appearance, with gold filigree and various sized gems inlaid, from ring sized chips to fist sized rocks, lifted his right hand, in which was held a goblet of marble, filled to the brim with crimson blood. A rasping voice broke the deathly silence, "Drink, my family. Soon, we'll have what is ours, and the weak and mortal shall bow before us, and quake with fear. Ahh, the glory of it. A blasted landscape, humans farmed like the cattle they tend. With us at the head of it. The Empire will fall, and be resurrected with a new hierarchy." With a murmur of approval, the others lifted their goblets and downed their blood. "Now, family, disperse to your duties. Orlando, Uriel, please, remain."
With a scrape of stone on stone, chairs were pushed from the table, and ten vampires left the room. Bartram du Coudray, head of the family, remained seated in his throne-like seat, with Giselle, first of his get and wife of three centuries, sat beside him in her seat, radiant in the moonlight, a beauty the like of which was rarely seen in the Old World. She was busy with her attendant daemon, weaving her necromantic arts, keeping the wards of the castle strong.
"You two," Bartram began, "a caravan has entered our lands. You two are to ensure it doesn't leave. Orlando, I trust that your wraiths and spirits can, err ... Handle, the escort. This was a wealthy noble, I understand, and he had funds to hire mercenaries. Uriel, to you I entrust the task of capturing the non-combatants. They are not to be killed, understood?" he growled the last question, leaning forwards slightly, and his eyes and fangs came into view. A emerald wraith light burnt in his eyes, smoldering, and his pearlescent teeth gleaming, apart from the blood that clung to the tips of his fangs, before he rolled his tongue over them, carving a rivulet in it, which healed almost instantly.
His two sons stood to attention, ensconced in their crimson armour, with the du Coudray crest proudly displayed on the right hand side of the chest-plate, and swords sheathed at the hip. "Yes, Father", "Of course, Father. They're not to die". Orlando, already looking slightly ethereal as he communed with the wraiths of the long dead elite of the province, started smiling slightly, and his fangs grew and protruded from under his top lip, slicing through his bottom lip. He relished the pain, and knew that it wouldn't be long until he inflicted some himself. He almost shivered with ecstasy. Uriel was more composed, but was anticipating it hotly. It had been too ling since his last hunt. Father wouldn't notice one or two missing, surely.
"Go, boys, and do what you must," Barthram ordered, his voice like rocks grating in a skaven warpstone-mine. His sons-in-darkness clicked their heels together and turned neatly, marching out of the room. Beyond their fathers view, they started running, pushing at each other playfully.
Back in his throne, Barthram smiled slightly as he heard his boys start messing about. They would do their jobs. "Soon, Giselle. Soon. I promise". Giselle smiled and nodded,
"I know, my love. Soon"

It's now Sunday and we drove to Cumbria to see my Cousin Laura and Family. An interesting tour of the region by Dominic and a delightful pub lunch. My "tourist" highlight was going to Alnwich Castle (Northumberland). Harry Potter movie 1 and 2 were partly filmed here. What an outstanding ...
The Kitchen !

The refrigerator now boasts a minimum of five different cheeses, one of two which are exceedingly smelly, and permeate the kitchen every time the frig door is opened.All I need now is a good old fashioned French Grand Mother who knows the finer points of the regional cuisine and the patience to teach me.

Food Markets!

Luckily we are here for a few more months yet.While Chamonix is a fantastic location, it sadly lacks a dedicated food market, where the local producers assemble together 5 or 6 days a week to offer their wares.

A beautiful last day in Annecy
... portfolio? After our cruise we continued on our walking tour and immediately fell in love with the canals and old town area of Annecy. Oh my, so very, very beautiful! And yes, touristy, but not with that frantic hunt for the dollar vibe that you feel in so many popular places. As with the lake, the water in the canals is as clear as a clear thing can be. It flows at a fair old rate too, around and between and sometimes even under the buildings. ...
We are still alive, we promise! & happy bday N

It started to rain (sometimes a little harder than we appreciated) but we got some very nice views of the rainbow that appeared afterwards. We found a restaurant that was open on our way back to the hotel and stopped there for a late dinner. Tomorrow we will be going to the chocolate ...

Foraging, Food Choice, and Food Processing by Sympatric Ripe-Fruit Specialists: Lagothrix lagotricha poeppigii and Ateles belzebuth belzebuth

Studies of interspecific competition and niche separation have formed some of the seminal works of ecology. I conducted an 18-mo study comparing the feeding ecologies of 2 sympatric, closely-related ripe-fruit specialists, Humboldt's woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha poeppigii), and the white-bellied spider monkeys (Ateles belzebuth belzebuth) in Amazonian Ecuador. Woolly monkeys in the terra firme forest live at roughly triple the density of spider monkeys (31 versus 11.5 animals/km2). Woolly monkeys spend 17% of their time foraging, while spider monkeys spend only 1% of their time foraging. Spider monkeys alone fed on soil and termitaria, which are rich in phosphorus. Woolly monkeys are not hard-fruit specialists. Their fruit diet is significantly more diverse than that of spider monkeys. Dietary overlap between the 2 species is high, yet each specializes to some degree on a different set of fruit resources. Woolly monkeys visit more food sources per unit of time, feed lower in the canopy, visit more small food patches, and prey on more seeds. Spider monkeys feed on fewer, richer food sources and are more than twice as likely to return to a particular fruit source than woolly monkeys are. Spider monkeys maximize fruit pulp intake, carrying more intact seeds in their guts, while woolly monkeys minimize seed bulk swallowed through more careful food processing. Surprisingly, several preferred spider monkey foods with high fat content and large seeds are avoided by woolly monkeys. I outline the different ecological dimensions involved in niche separation between the 2 species and discuss the possible impetus for their evolutionary divergence.

Listening to Jim and Margaret arguing it out in the place itself, their voices echoing off all that woodwork and all those bald heads (the visitor's first impressions as he looks down on the House of Commons), it was hard to believe that this was a breakthrough in broadcasting, as the commentators kept saying. If radio had crept into parliament without publicity, 95% of listeners would probably have assumed it had been going on for years. Politicians' voices are so widely distributed by the media that parliamentary proceedings are just another outlet.
Radio 4's 6pm news on Wednesday made the point. One minute, the energy secretary was saying that the state must have a bigger stake in North Sea oil. The next, the foreign secretary was stating government policy towards an incident in Botswana. Wedgwood Benn had been speaking in the Commons; David Owen on the Jimmy Young show.
What is the point of Radio Westminster, to enlighten or entertain? Yesterday in Parliament begins with George Thomas, the Speaker, shouting: "Order, order!" Then it settles down to the usual summary by an announcer. But now, instead of being told what someone said, we can actually hear him say it. A recording has an edge over the announcer's voice in catching the mood of exchange, complete with interruptions. This is better as information and better as entertainment.
This trouble is that the hotter the exchange, the more confusing it is. The chief effect of microphones in parliament will probably be to make an unanswerable case for having TV cameras there as well, so that democrats can make more sense out of the proceedings and be helped by written captions. There is something absurd about hearing and never seeing.
No doubt progress will be slow. One MP, Andrew Faulds, could be heard complaining about "newfangled" microphones and asking the long-suffering Speaker when "these things" went on and off, nobody apparently having told him that these things are on all the time that parliament is sitting.
Live prime minister's question time on two afternoons a week has to be made room for in Radio 4's afternoon schedules. This has caused pain and anger behind the scenes at Broadcasting House, where many producers took it for granted that parliament would go on the VHF channel – which hardly anyone listens to, at least to hear Radio 4.
But the management, arguing that it would be insulting to their politicians (and politically damaging to the BBC) to treat parliament so casually, decided to use medium wave. Thus on two days a week when parliament is sitting, afternoon plays are on VHF only.
The drama department is said to be furious about this. The decision relegates two important drama slots to a channel with a tiny audience, only six months before Radio 4 moves from medium to long wave.
Confusion about wavelengths is a guaranteed way of losing audiences. Which is the minority interest for Radio 4: drama or politics?

Welcome to "Ocean View Sanctuary"!
**For more details about specials for this home, see the Sanctuary Vacation Rentals website or call our office directly.
Tranquil views of Monterey Bay beckon from virtually every room in this lovely 1057 square feet 3-bedroom, 2-bath hilltop home in a friendly Pacific Grove neighborhood within walking distance of the coastline and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The location is ideal, just blocks from downtown Pacific Grove shops and restaurants, and the 15-mile walking and bike trail that winds along the shoreline. Monterey, Carmel and Pebble Beach are all less than a 10-minute drive away; Big Sur about 45 minutes.
Upon your arrival you will be greeted with complimentary wine and cheese, passes to the renown Spa on the Plaza in downtown Monterey, tickets for a wine tasting at Scheid Vineyards' tasting room in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is available to assist you during your stay. We have also provided spa amenities in the bathrooms, spa robes and beach gear.
A short flight of steps from the sidewalk takes you up to the front entrance. A long, narrow balcony runs along the front of the house affording a spot to watch the gulls and pelicans soar over the blue waters of the Monterey Bay. The house combines nostalgic '50s architectural touches with sophisticated contemporary seashore-themed décor in ocean blues and browns set off by crisp whites.
The panelled living room, which has stunning bay views, features wall-to-wall windows, a beamed vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, sofa, loveseat, a wooden coffee table and an antique bureau. Relax with popcorn and watch movies on a flat-screen TV. (Sorry, the piano in the photos is not available for guests' use.) A telescope is provided for up-close looks at sailboats in the bay.
An adjacent open dining room, also with gorgeous bay views, has a wooden table and chairs for 6. A bank of built-in cabinets (with a pass through window to the kitchen) provide storage for table linens, games and puzzles.
Prepare gourmet meals in a handsome kitchen that has a sand-colored tile floor, white tile counter-tops, wooden cabinets and a central work station with a built-in electric stove top. Other appliances include an oven, dishwasher and microwave. Breakfast or casual meals can be enjoyed at a square oak table with 4 Windsor chairs. A nook with a washer and dryer is nearby.
A back door leads to an enclosed patio - partially framed in glass to let in the water views - equipped with a picnic table and grill.
The master bedroom, with a large window that looks out to the back deck, has a nautical theme with deep ocean blue and white patterned bedding on the king bed with foam topper, wooden end tables with tripod table lamps and an armchair. Bed can be made up as two twins.
The master bath, with white and pale yellow tiles and navy blue towels, and has an enclosed shower.
A second bedroom has a king bed with foam topper which can also be made into two twins, a white wooden dresser and bedside tables and table lamps with metal bases shaped like tree branches.
The third bedroom has twin beds with sea foam blue quilted bed coverlets, sea-themed artwork, a white wooden dresser and bedside stands and blue ceramic table lamps. These twin beds can be made up together with a foam topper for a king if preferred.
Additional sleeping possibilities include a day bed with a trundle to sleep two children located in the living room.
An additional bathroom, also tiled in white and pale yellow, has a tub with a shower.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome. **There is an additional fee for pets**

It was perfect and the time spent together will always be remembered. We all bonded more closely and loved everything about our stay in your home. Thanks so much!
(This comment was taken from the home's guest book.)
The home was spacious and well appointed. From the complimentary wine and spa passes to the perfectly made table settings and notes around the house, the place was great. And the view of the bay over the rooftops of Pacific Grove was icing on the cake. Very reliable wifi from the multiple boosters scattered around the place. Everywhere you turned, there is a nice little amenity, including throw blankets next to the couch, electric candles on the bar, beach towels by the door, flashlights in the night stands, coupons to local establishments, access to the gas powered fire place, multiple sets of bath towels in each room, etc, etc.
The only (very nit picky) things to note about the property are:
- Very few grounded outlets. Most portable devices don't need them anymore, but in case you bring any power adapters that require 3 prongs, there's one receptacle in the kitchen. Otherwise, there are 2 pronged outlets all over the place.
- The shower head in the shared bathroom is maybe 5 ft tall, which requires some yoga poses for the 6 ft+ club. This could be resolved with a hand held shower wand that can be mounted higher on the wall than the spigot. However, the master bath has a much higher head, so we just used that one for hair washing.
- We loved how close the house is to local shops and restaurants, but the steep climb to the house is quite a feat after a long day of exploring and libations. I'm sure we're better for it though.
- Some way to play music other than MTV on the TV. Doesn't need to be big enough to disturb the neighbors, but just a little Bluetooth speaker would be nice for fireside chats.
Working with the property management was very easy. I would say that all the earlier complaints have been well addressed because the process is straight forward and well thought out and communication was fast and courteous. It's not as easy as a direct rental with an owner, but you would likely not get the same level of detail either. High five to Sanctuary Homes. Thanks for making our vacation happy.
This property is everything they claim and then some. Whenever we chose a vacation rental there is some anticipation as we near the property. "Is the place what we expected or is it a disappointment."
This was way beyond all of our expectations.
Lets start with the view: spectacular. Monterrey/Pacific Grove Bay can be seen from the very expansive windows in the living area and 2 of the bedrooms. It never got old. Every morning when we opened the curtains, the beauty we saw was sensational.
This location of this property is perfect. The place is only a 10 minute walk through the charming neighbor to the water, the Monterey Aquarium, the Outlet stores, movies and restaurants. It is also a 5 minute drive to downtown Monterey and 12 minutes to Carmel.
The house itself also exceeded our expectations. The well decorated rooms are large and roomy. It is well taken care of and very clean.
Each of the 3 bedrooms where set up with king size beds as we had 3 couples in our party. I was initially concerned 1 or 2 of the couples would have a small room BUT this is not the case. All 3 bedrooms are roomy and comfortable, and have a lot of storage places. The beds were extremely comfortable. The house provides many extra pillows and blankets and even have baskets of throw blankets in the living room.
The kitchen was my favorite. We all love to cook and/or bake and the kitchen provided a fully stock kitchen of quality appliances, utensils and cookware. The oven is standard or convection, which was a delight to bake in.
Right outside the kitchen is a fairytale like garden with an outdoor picnic table and benches. Though it was too cold to eat out there, I spent time each day just walking around the garden and enjoying the space.
The owner sometimes stays on the property in an attached home but we never saw or heard her unless we asked her a question via text.
I plan to book this house whenever we are in the area.
Six of us shared this beautiful home in Pacific Grove. It has a great view of the ocean, a well appointed kitchen, it was meticulously clean and within walking distance (.5 mile or so) to Cannery Row, the Aquarium and the beach. Quiet and comfortable.
This is a well appointed house with almost panoramic views of the water (if only we could chop down a few of the neighbor's trees to the right - heehee). It was clean, spacious, had extra comfy beds, a kitchen stocked liked no other, and walking distance to the Monterey Aquarium. We would stay her again without hesitation. The property manager answered all our questions quickly. Accessing the property was simple, using the instructions provided. More sitting space in the main room would have been appreciated for our group of 5. We had to move the furniture around so we could all watch the Olympics on the tv. Otherwise, the place was close to perfect.
The wine and crackers were a welcome sight after our four hour drive. The home is comfortable and welcoming within easy walking to town, Canary Row and the coast. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed at added benefit of foggy, cool mornings which were a treat after our 100+ degree days at home.
The Monterey Peninsula is unique in its combination of breathtaking natural resources and a multiplicity of cultural and entertainment possibilities. You can find something for every possible taste. For nature lovers, there is the diversity of mountain and sea, for picnicking, surfing, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, beachcombing, bird-watching, kayaking, scuba diving, tidepooling, biking and more. If you want a man-made excitement, we have art galleries galore, excellent fine-art museums, local theater, outstanding restaurants, boutiques, a natural history and a children's museum, a world-class aquarium, and that's just for starters. History buffs will have a field day exploring the adobes of Monterey. There's so much to do that you cannot possibly do it all in one visit, which means you will have to come back.

People and places
of historical interest in Thurrock
Purfleet Royal
Gunpowder Magazine
In 1765, in the reign of George III,
Purfleet Garrison was built to service 5 powder
magazines, arising from concern that powder
stored at Woolwich presented a potential danger
to London in the event of an explosion.
Much of the site has been
demolished for a 1970s housing estate - the
Garrison Estate. A few of the garrison buildings
and parts of the inner security wall survive. The
surviving buildings include the clock tower,
which still contains a working clock.
The area is now one of
seven conservation areas in Thurrock.
The proofing house had become
neglected and overgrown, but in 2003 it was
restored by volunteers and with help from the
Heritage Lottery and other sources.
The building is now used
for local activities such as a toy library and a
Saturday club for Dads and their children.
One of
these magazines (No.5) survives and is a
scheduled ancient monument. It now houses the
Purfleet Heritage and Military Centre including a
museum displaying household objects from the past
as well as artifacts and photographs from all
three services. On the wall there is a
Thurrock Heritage plaque celebrating Benjamin Franklin who
visited the Royal Gunpowder Magazine in the 1760s.
At the unveiling in 2012, Jonathan Catton,
Thurrock Heritage and Museum Officer, said: "While living in
London, Benjamin Franklin visited Purfleet. He recommended that
the magazines should be equipped with pointed iron rods. The
King overruled Franklin's pointed rods theory, in what was
probably a political statement, and had iron rod sphere
conductors fitted at the gunpowder magazines."
