TOP trainer Dr Richard Newland is dreaming of a winning debut at this weekend's world-famous Grand National.
Cheltenham Festival star Pineau De Re will be the Claines handler's first ever runner at the Aintree showpiece and connections hope he can build on his Prestbury Park heroics.
The 11-year-old claimed a superb third in the Pertemps Final at last month's Festival and is one of the leading contenders for Saturday's feature race at a best price of 20-1.
Newland is hoping his stable star can stay the marathon trip that makes up the world's greatest steeplechase, which is at 4.15pm on Saturday.
Don't Push It used the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham as a stepping stone to glory at the renowned Merseyside track in 2010, but Newland is guarded about Pineau De Re's chances under jockey Leighton Aspell.
Newland said: "We have runners every day and they are all big races at this Aintree meeting, so it is just as exciting as when we go to the Cheltenham Festival. We go to Aintree every year and it is great fun – hopefully we can trouble the scorers this year.
"However, we have never had a runner in the Grand National before. It is very exciting and Pineau De Re is about the fifth favourite in the betting so he must have a chance.
"However, there will be 39 other runners going for it and some pretty big fences to clear so my confidence has diminished as the week has gone on.
"Pineau ran so well at Cheltenham that we were elated to get a place in the Pertemps Final at the time.
"However, everyone keeps saying how unlucky he was to get hampered near the end of the race and he should have won so I see that race as a bit of a miss for us."
The Linacres Farm stable have interest on each day with Changing The Guard running in today's Silver Cross Red Rum Handicap Chase at 4.15pm.
Then Mart Lane goes in tomorrow's Topham Chase at 3.40pm.
Newland added: "Changing The Guard runs for us in the two-mile chase today and Mart Lane goes in the Topham Chase tomorrow, but both of those will be outsiders – maybe Changing The Guard has a little bit of a chance.
"Mart Lane has had a couple of poor runs so he will have to turn things around, but he is a good horse.
"Wayne Hutchinson will be on Mart Lane, while Denis O'Regan is booked to ride Changing The Guard."

WASHINGTON (Apr. 7)
Six Senators called on President Kennedy yesterday to take a stronger and more definitive stand in support of Israel's security and Near Eastern peace in view of German participation in the Egyptian armament program.
The Senators were Hugh Scott, Pennsylvania Republican; Thomas H. Kuchel, California Republican; Winston L. Prouty, Vermont Republican; Jacob K. Javits and Kenneth B. Keating, New York Republicans; and Thomas J. Dodd, Connecticut Democrat.
President Kennedy was told in a joint letter from the Senators that recent developments made it "highly appropriate for the United States to reaffirm its deep and continuing interest in the security of Israel" and "to put renewed emphasis on measures designed to reduce Middle Eastern tensions." They stressed that "it does not serve the interests of either the United States or of world peace" to have the German-Egyptian missile development continue.

Land Use Controls on Groundwater Recharge
Robert C. Reedy and Dr. Bridget R. Scanlon
Quantification of groundwater recharge is important for assessing aquifer vulnerability to contamination because most contaminant sources occur at or near the land surface and recharge, among other factors, determines the rate that contaminants can be transported to an aquifer. The purpose of this study was to estimate recharge rates for the Southern High Plains Aquifer. Recharge was estimated using field studies including measurement of soil physics (water content, matric potential head) and environmental tracers (chloride) in soil samples from boreholes installed in different land use settings, including natural, dryland farming, and irrigated farming.
Recharge rates based on the
chloride mass balance approach ranged from 0.5 to 26 mm/yr in the Southern
High Plains. The variation in recharge correlated with land use: low recharge
rates in natural settings (0.5 to 0.8 mm/yr) and much higher recharge
rates in dryland farming settings (6 to 26 mm/yr). The variation in recharge
rates is consistent with the soil physics measurements: low matric potential
heads in natural settings (-208 to -270 m) indicate dry conditions and
much higher matric potential heads in dryland and irrigated settings (-2
to -2.8 m) indicate wet conditions. The results of this study have important
implications for assessing aquifer vulnerability to contamination and
indicate that land use is an important factor in controlling recharge
and aquifer susceptibility to contamination.

Over the course of four days of testing at Barcelona (ES), the BMW drivers covered more than 7,000 kilometres.
Barcelona (ES) - The four BMW teams have made another important step on the way to the start of the DTM season on 5th May 2013 at Hockenheim (DE).
Over the course of four days of testing at Barcelona (ES), the BMW drivers covered more than 7,000 kilometres. The other manufacturers involved in DTM also tested at the 2.977-kilometre version of the "Circuit de Catalunya".
Reigning DTM champion Bruno Spengler (CA) tested with his BMW Bank M3 DTM on Tuesday and handed over the wheel of the car to Martin on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Augusto Farfus (BR), Martin Tomczyk (DE) and Timo Glock (DE) were also on duty on the first two days.
On Thursday and Friday, Dirk Werner (DE), Joey Hand (US), Andy Priaulx (GB) and Marco Wittmann (DE) took to the track. The fastest lap time of all the BMW drivers was set by Farfus on Wednesday. His personal best time was 1:06.177 minutes.
In addition to working on the set-up of the four BMW M3 DTMs, the BMW drivers tested two potential innovations for the 2013 DTM season: the newly developed Hankook option tyres and the Drag Reduction System (DRS).
The BMW drivers used the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the new tyre spec and the adjustable rear wing. The next important date in the run-up to the season kick-off is the presentation of all the BMW M3 DTM cars in Munich's BMW Welt on 6th April 2013. Just three days later, the second and final joint pre-season test will begin at Hockenheim (DE).
Bruno Spengler (#1, BMW Team Schnitzer): "Being back in the car was a lot of fun. You can feel the increasing excitement ahead of the season everywhere. The testing was okay – we successfully completed our scheduled programme.
Quite obviously, the new option tyres and the DRS made for extra excitement. When it comes to the tyres, we took a close look at the performance of the new spec over longer distances, and we learned a lot.
The DRS is definitely a lot of fun for every racing driver. You clearly feel you can shift up earlier and that the top speed on the straights is higher.
That's something you have to get used to and, therefore, you have to work lap by lap on finding the limit. That's why the test here in Barcelona – and also the one held in Hockenheim – are so important."
Dirk Werner (#2, BMW Team Schnitzer): "It's great to have got back on the track. The test at Barcelona felt somewhat like an unofficial season kick-off.
It was about completing our scheduled testing programme lap by lap and getting experience with the option tyres and the DRS at the same time. As I see it, both look likely to add excitement to the races."
Augusto Farfus (#7, BMW Team RBM): "You can really feel the increasing excitement in the run-up to the season opener. It was great trying the option tyres and the DRS.
Both innovations certainly have got what it takes to help us provide the DTM fans with even more thrilling motor racing. We had no major problems at Barcelona and made good progress. There still is a lot of work to do, but I'm optimistic we will be well prepared for the start of the season."
Joey Hand (#8, BMW Team RBM): "It was my first real outing for BMW Team RBM and, in addition, Barcelona's circuit represented virgin territory for me. Despite this I can say everything worked just fine.
The guys did a great job. The conditions here change massively over the course of the day. We virtually had to hunt this track down. Despite this, we learned a lot. I hope the test at Hockenheim will be just as successful."
Martin Tomczyk (#15, BMW Team RMG): "I can feel the excitement growing. My first day of testing on Tuesday was one of the best in my entire career. We were able to fully test the potential innovations.
Then, on day two, it was back to a more conventional programme. The overall result is positive, and despite the limited preparation time we are heading in the right direction."
Andy Priaulx (#16, BMW Team RMG): "Doing a test like this with my new team is really nice. We used the time to get to know one another better – and I quickly found a good rhythm.
I definitely will leave Barcelona with a lot of positive experiences under my belt. The option tyre is quick and consistent. Then when you go out again on the standard tyres after a stint on the options you have to re-adapt. That's an interesting challenge."
Marco Wittmann (#21, BMW Team MTEK): "I was really looking forward to the test here at Barcelona. After all, it was my first outing with my new Ice-Watch BMW M3 DTM.
I felt really comfortable in the car, and the relationship with BMW Team MTEK is already very good. It's important for us to get used to each another and optimise the work flow to make sure we will be in the best possible shape for the season opener. And today was a good step on the way to achieving this goal."
Timo Glock (#22, BMW Team MTEK): "We were able to complete a lot of laps and, quite obviously, this was helpful for us as a new team and for me as a DTM rookie.
I still have problems in understanding the standard tyre but despite this was happy with our long-runs. At the same time, driving with the option tyres was a lot of fun for me.
We will continue our work at Hockenheim and try to make the best possible use of the short preparation time prior to the start of the season."
Maxime Martin (BMW Motorsport Test and Development Driver): "Unfortunately, a technical problem cost me some time. However, I still completed a total of 120 laps and once again learned a lot.
Altogether I'm happy with the test. Being a part of this team, enjoying the atmosphere and driving this sensational car is just fantastic."

2011.25: iGen: A program for the automated generation of models and parameterisations

Complex physical systems can often be simulated using very high-resolution models but this is not always practical because of computational restrictions. In this case the model must be simplified or parameterised, but this is a notoriously difficult process that often requires the introduction of `model assumptions' that are hard or impossible to justify. Here we introduce a new approach to parameterising models. The approach makes use of a newly developed computer program, which we call iGen, that analyses the source code of a high-resolution model and formally derives a much faster parameterised model that closely approximates the original, reporting bounds on the error introduced by any approximations. These error bounds can be used to formally justify use of the parameterised model in subsequent numerical experiments. Using increasingly complex physical systems as examples we illustrate that iGen has the ability to produce parameterisations that run typically orders of magnitude faster than the underlying, high-resolution models from which they are derived and show that iGen has the potential to become an important tool in model development.

Neil: Hello, everyone. They told me before I came on this show, that I was supposed to tell the stories behind my most popular songs, and then play them. I said, "Cool let's do it!" But, Gary over here was a little shy..
Gary the Bass Player: Now, come on, Neil, give me a break, man.
Neil: Ah, ha ha ha ha! This first song.. [ Kenny the Keyboard Player intros "Sweet Caroline", crowd applauds ] Thank you. That, of course, "Sweet Caroline". I wrote that song after a big show at the Forum. Gary and I had been drinking pretty heavily, and we were driving..
Gary: [ worried ] Oh, I can't believe you're gonna tell this story..
Neil: Ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah, well, we were driving down this dark road, and I hit a kid. [ the crowd is stunned ] So, we got out, and sure enough he was dead. So, we just took off. Pretty fast. And, two hours later, I wrote "Sweet Caroline". Sweet Caroline. Good times never seemed so good. Thank you.
[ crowd struggles to applaud, still stunned by the story ]
Neil: It gets crazy on the road, and awful lonely. That's why I love pornography. This next song is all about my love of hardcore, barely-legal pornography. Gary knows what I'm talking about.
Gary: Yeaaahhh, he likes that really weird porno you can't send through the mail. I'll be honest. It ain't cool, it creeps out the whole band.
Neil: Well, my bizarre, insatiable, and downright dangerous sexual habits led me to write this song. [ Kenny intros "Cracklin' Rosie" ] Oh, Cracklin' Rose, get on board. We're gonna ride 'til there ain't no more to go. We're takin' it slow. Let's all do the best we can. And I can turn invisible if I really try-y hard! [ crowd barely applauds ] Uh, I can't quite remember how that one goes. I-I gotta admit, I'm a little high. Kenny over here gave me some dynamite pills.
Kenny the Keyboard Player: Hey, come on, man..
Neil: Hey! Cool out! Just everyone cool out. COOL OUT!! [ pause ] This next song, you all might like. Few people know that I am fueled creatively by my massive hatred of immigrants. [ Kenny intros "America" ] Gary and I have gone on for hours about how much we hate foreignors. Right, Gary?
Gary: Leave me out of this, man.
Neil: NO, I WILL LEAVE YOU IN!! [ back to story ] Well, my love of this great and beautiful nation, and my hatred of all people with dark skin, led me to write this. On the boats and on the trains. They're coming to America. Never looking back again. Just do the best you can! You hate your keyboard player because he's black! Never had the courage to tell him sooo--AAUUGGHH!! AAUUGGH!! OW!!
Kenny: Hey, man, you're a wreck!
Neil: Ow! Come on.. I think I tore some stitches. Come on, Gary, help me out..
Gary: No, that's enough, Neil, man, you gotta chill out.
Neil: I'll smack you in the mouth, I'm Neil Diamond!
Kenny: Okay, that's it, I'm gone. That's it. [ Kenny and members of the crowd exit ]
Neil: Wait! This next song, I wrote after I killed a drifter to get an erection. [ more members of the crowd exit ] Forever in blue jeans.. Where you goin'? Do the best you can. Reach for the stars like a champion. John Elway finally won--AAUUGGHH!! I put clown make-up on my penis, blue jeans. AAUUGGHH, AAUUGHH!!
Gary: Neil, Neil.. Come on, it's over. Let's go, buddy.
Neil: Ow! My heart! My, my ass! My heart and ass hurt. [ Gary pulls Neil off the stage, fade to title ]

It's not a "train wreck."
Diamond is a 70 year-old man now. Neil's a few sheets to the wind, but he's just having fun.
His words aren't mean-spirited, it's nothing like what went down with Elvis at the Las Vegas Hilton in September 1974.
Neil's also aware that there is NO time limit on acceptance speeches for the RaRHoF ceremony.

A SWINDON Town XI, featuring Australian triallist Joel Chianese, lost 4-2 in a development friendly against Cheltenham Town at Quat Lane yesterday.
Chianese scored both of Town's goals with Mark Cooper watching on from the sides. The first was chested in from close range after a ball from Harry Agombar. His second came after a cross from Will Randall.
New signing Jake Reeves made his first appearance in a Town shirt as Cooper took advantage of the absence of first team football to assess players on the fringes of his squad.
Cheltenham's goals came courtesy of Bobbie Dale, James Bowen, Danny Racchi and Jamal Lawrence.

This has whole grain goodness, yet is lighter than regular whole wheat flour. I often swap this out for all or part of white flour in recipes.
A versatile 9x13 baking dish that's great for all kinds of baking. Assemble this French Toast the night before, put the lid on it, refrigerate, and it's ready to bake in the morning.
A handy, multi-purpose bowl for mixing with a convenient lid.
This gets frequent use in my kitchen for mixing, removing lumps, and whipping eggs.
This knife is awesome. I use it for effortlessly slicing bread tomatoes, meat...you name it. It's a great price for a knife that performs this well.
|By Monica Matheny
I love the convenience of a make-ahead breakfast. This baked French toast recipe is so easy to assemble the night before. Just stick it in the fridge overnight and move it to the oven when you get up in the morning. Presto! You've got a warm, freshly baked, totally delicious breakfast in no time. This makes a special weekend breakfast and has become a favorite option for overnight guests.
I developed this recipe as part of the Secret Recipe Club (SRC). Here's how it works. Each of the food bloggers participating in the SRC is secretly assigned another food blog. The assignment is to choose a recipe from that blog, make the recipe (or an adaptation of it) and feature it in a post. The blog matches are a secret to the other blogger until reveal day. You'll find links to the other participants and their recipes at the end of this post. Someone blogged about one of my recipes, too.
This month, my assignment was to choose a recipe by Jane from The Heritage Cook. Her recipe for Baked Blueberry French Toast caught my eye right away. I love that you make it the day before so it's ready to pop in the oven when you get up in the morning.
I love the simplicity of Jane's recipe and only made minor tweaks. I substituted whole grain bread for white and used 2% milk in place of whole milk. I also added a whole grain streusel topping for some extra crunch and flavor. It is so easy to make, and it totally passes the yummy test. So good!
Step 1. Assemble the ingredients: whole grain baguette (or similar bakery bread loaf), eggs, 2% milk, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon blueberries (fresh or frozen), whole wheat pastry flour, old fashioned rolled oats, butter, pecans (optional)
view on Amazon: organic whole wheat pastry flour
Step 2. Whisk together the eggs, just until well combined.
view on Amazon: mix & measure bowl, wire whisk
Step 3. Add the vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, and milk. Whisk it until well combined.
Step 4. Slice the bread loaf in 1" slices. I cut mine diagonally to increase the surface area of each slice. I like to leave the crusts on, although Jane's recipe calls for cutting off the crusts.
Step 5. Layer the bread slices in 2 rows in a buttered 9x13 baking dish. If you're using a wider-shaped bread loaf, you may need to cut each slice in half in order to get it to fit into even rows.
view on Amazon: bread knife (an awesome knife for more than just bread), baking dish with lid (love the convenience of the lid for the overnight time in the fridge)
Step 6. Pour the egg & milk mixture over the bread slices, separating the slices as you pour so the mixture runs between each slice. Don't worry if the slices aren't completely immersed; they will eventually soak up the custard mixture like sponges.
Step 7. If using frozen blueberries, thaw, rinse, and drain them. If using fresh berries, rinse and drain them. I used frozen blueberries, since fresh berries are out of season.
Step 8. Evenly sprinkle the blueberries onto the bread slices, separating the slices to allow some of the berries to fall between the slices.
Step 9. Cover with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or as long as 18 hours. (LOVE the convenience of doing this so far in advance!)
Step 10. Combine whole wheat pastry flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Step 11. Add the butter and cut it into the dry mixture using two forks, a pastry blender, or your fingers. (Your fingers work easily for this small amount.) Keep mixing until it's crumbly.
Step 12. Add pecans, if you're a nut person. If not, leave them out.
Set the streusel aside to add right before baking. This can be made the night before so it's ready to add to the dish in the morning.
The next day...
After the overnight time in the fridge, the bread will have soaked up much of the custard liquid; although it's fine if there's still some liquid remaining in the bottom of the dish. It will cook in.
Step 13. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of the bread slices.
Step 14. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes until the streusel is lightly browned and there is no visible liquid left; the center should be moist, but not watery. If the streusel begins to brown too much before the custard is completely cooked, place a loose sheet of aluminum foil over the top during the last 10 minutes or so of baking. That browned streusel topping adds delicious crunch to this dish.
Remove from oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
The bread slices are softened, but not soggy, from the absorbed custard. They hold their shape, so it's easy to remove individual slices and serve.
It looks so inviting on the plate! The flavor & texture combination of custardy bread, blueberries, and crunchy streusel topping is fantastic.

One bite convinced me that this recipe is a keeper. It is perfect for a brunch or to serve overnight guests. And, it's so, so easy!
Make it a Yummy day!
MAKE STREUSEL (may be made the night before and sprinkled on before baking the next day): In medium bowl whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, oats, brown sugar, & cinnamon. Cut in butter using two forks, a pastry blender, or your fingers. Mix until combined and crumbly. Add pecans, if desired, and mix. Set aside.
TO BAKE: Remove baking dish from refrigerator and bring to room temperature (approx. 30 min.). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle streusel evenly over top of bread slices. Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes, until cooked through, lightly browned, and there is no visible liquid. Center should be moist but not runny. To prevent over browning, loosely lay a sheet of aluminum foil over top during last 10 minutes, if necessary. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with maple syrup or blueberry sauce.

Penguins' Crosby expands treatment team
More than three weeks after his last game, Penguins star Sidney Crosby continues to experience concussion-like symptoms and has broadened his treatment team to include the Steelers' team neurosurgeon.
Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said Wednesday that Crosby is only able to exercise lightly because of headaches. General manager Ray Shero reiterated that Crosby won't play until his symptoms are gone.
Crosby hasn't played since Dec. 5.
Michael Collins, a clinical psychologist who heads the UPMC Sports Concussion Program, continues to oversee Crosby but has been joined by Dr. Joseph Maroon, the Steelers' neurosurgeon and WWE consultant who helped develop the ImPACT test widely used by professional and college teams to determine concussion severity.
Maroon recently was part of a medical team that oversaw the Flyers' Chris Pronger, who is out for the season with a concussion.
Dr. Chip Burke, the Penguins' team physician, is the only person permitted to clear Crosby for game action.
Shero declined to comment when asked if Crosby has visited Ted Carrick, a chiropractor based in Florida. Carrick worked with Crosby in August.
"I can tell you that Sidney isn't going to come back until he is 100 percent healthy," Shero said. "If he's having symptoms of any kind, we're not going to let him back into the lineup. It's that simple."
Two sources in the Penguins' organization said they expect Crosby to play again this season.
Crosby missed the second half of last season after sustaining a concussion in early January. He returned to game action Nov. 21 and played in eight games.
The Penguins announced Crosby had a headache after a Dec. 7 practice. A day later, Bylsma said, there was no indication of a concussion.
Crosby passed an ImPACT test that week and was said to be dealing with "slight headaches."
Almost a month later, Crosby remains out indefinitely. Bylsma declined to say whether Crosby has taken another ImPACT test.
Crosby participated in light workouts during most of his time away from hockey last season.
Notes: Bylsma said defenseman Kris Letang, out for a month with a concussion, is "feeling better." Also, defenseman Robert Bortuzzo, who sustained a concussion when the Penguins and Flyers met Dec. 8, has been exercising and will skate for the first time today. ... Defenseman Paul Martin has a chance to play Thursday night following an injury suffered Dec. 16 in Ottawa.

I'm importing dates that are in UTC format. Is there an easy way to convert this to EST? Daylight savings is the hitch. It doesn't switch the same date every year, so it seems like figuring the offset based on the date would be tricky.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
PHP's DateTime (documentation) class makes working with timezones easy.
$date = new DateTime('2011-11-10 20:17:23', new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
$date->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('EST'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s O'); // 2011-11-10 15:17:23 -0500
Thank you! Brilliant.

Overall best cruise we've been on: Caribbean Princess Cruise Review by wgb7428
Overall Member Rating
Overall best cruise we've been on
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Houston
Have always liked assigned dining and our waiters Sid and Jubily in the Palm dining room were the best. Between them and the kitchen staff, special requests were handled with no issue or problem. Menu was varied enough that there was no real reason to go to either of the specialty restaurants. I do wish though that Princess would go back to crab leg night.
Was kind of worried going in that our cabin, directly under the fitness center would be noisy but we didn't hear anything from they gym. Cabin steward was excellent in keeping room clean and meeting special requests.
Just like every cruise if you want a chair on the deck More you need to get out early. Was spring break week and had over 800 kids on board. Best was to get out early and then come in and take advantage of onboard activities when it started to get packed with people on the sun and lido deck.
I liked the fact that if you were unable to catch the Movie Under the Stars at night, they replayed the next day in the Princess Theater. Production shows were very good. Cast seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. (Have been on cruises where they just went through the motions.) Guest entertainers were good. Wish though they would have had a comedy club in one of the lounges nightly.
Arrival time in Houston was 0700. We got up at 0530 and we were already docked. Disembarkation seemed to go smooth. Our assigned time was 0840 and I think they called us about 0835. Luggage claim area was large and well marked to find your bags. Customs and Immigration had many lanes open so the process went quickly. We were packed in the car and leaving the parking lot by 0915.

Cabin review: L217
Was kind of worried going in that our cabin, directly under the fitness center would be noisy but we didn't hear anything from they gym. Was your basic interior cabin, a little small but didn't spend a lot of time there anyway except to sleep. Cabin steward was excellent in keeping room clean and meeting special requests.
Port and Shore Excursions
Altun Ha
Altun Ha ruins were a lot better than the ruins we've seen before on Cozumel. Tour guide was very knowledgeable of history of what we were seeing. She made her stories interesting and didn't repeat the same story over and over like I've had on other tours. She pointed out points of interest along the way and facts about Belize City. Don't know if the bus was suppose to be part of the adventure but the ride was a little rough and the A/C didn't work really well.
Third trim to Cozumel. Took taxi to main downtown area $8.00 one way for four of us. Knew the shops I wanted to go back to so was dropped off by the big Mexican Flag and just walked around. Kids wanted to go to Margaretville so we walked back that direction. Sit on the deck in the shade good stop for a drink. From there back to the pier next time I'll grab a cab. Walk back was a little farther then I thought.
Mahogany Beach is a good place to catch some sun and relax. Swimming area is only about five feet deep. They say that just outside of the swimming area is a reef, but looked pretty bare. Don't rent a clam shell. If you want to get out of the sun for a while they have a bar restaurant with plenty of covered seating. Water was clear and warm. Just right to cool off from the sun. Chair lift gives a good view and is nice ride. $10 and you can ride back and forth all day.

All I want for Easter
Reviewed: 02 August 2014 by truegrace
We wanted to get a remote egg for Easter, and after going through all the ones on LH we decided on the Proteus. It was a bit pricier than some of the remote eggs, but liked the look of it and loved the fact the 'pull string' looked firmly attached. The order was soon placed and we were both eagerly awaiting Mr Postie!
On arrival first impressions certainly didn't disappoint. The packaging is that of a luxury toy and has been kept other than the outer sleeve (which for us is pretty rare due to space issues). The foam insert holds both the egg and remote securely and is handy for storage purposes as the box could happily sit on the bedside table without drawing suspicion.
As this is an imported toy, the charger came with a travel adaptor plug, which is handy if you happen to have any other imported electrics, but does bulk up the storage issues, and will obviously not fit in the box. That said, we always keep chargers in a separate drawer from the toy box so no problem for us.
The egg itself is made of seam-free, high-quality smooth silicone. It has a very small amount of give in it but is fairly solid. It is quite small in diameter so shouldn't be an issue, for us it isn't anyway!
The 'pull string' is firmly attached with a decent sized finger loop for easy removal, so no danger of having to fish it out. This is also made of smooth soft silicone so doesn't cause any discomfort during use, and soon gets forgotten about (until the switch is hit of course!)
For first time charging, especially if you are not used to this sort of design, it can be a bit tricky as the charger needs to be pushed through the silicone which feels like you shouldn't be doing it. We had already experienced this with the Sqweel Go, so with a quick deep breath (as I still didn't want to break it!) the charger was in. Once the charger plugs are removed, the silicone magically reseals again and you are good to go for some aqua proof fun!
The charger itself splits in 2 so both the egg and remote are charged at the same time which is a genius idea, as would be a pain to have to do them separately. Once plugged in the lights on both parts flash to indicate charging and the wait begins!
The egg:
The first thing that impressed with the egg itself is the power of this small rechargeable thing. It certainly does pack a punch for its size, and does a good job of external stimulation as well as fulfilling its lifetime purpose of internal vibrations. It comes with 2 strengths of vibrations as well as 5 patterns to play with. These are cycled through with a touch of the button on the remote. We are not ones for liking patterns on vibes. However, for something like this that can be changed at the remote holder's desire, patterns rock!
The egg is fairly light as it rechargeable (I presume?), so until the vibes start off it is easy to forget it is in, especially after a few glasses of wine!
One thing that needs to be remembered, as we didn't for the first trial run, is to turn the egg on before insertion! Thankfully, we were still at home or would have really spoilt it if we had been in a restaurant as it would have been another trip to the toilet to turn it on!
Once the egg is switched on a small led light flashes under the power button to indicate it is good to go so pop some (water-based) lube on, slide it in and you are ready for some earth shattering vibes!
It is quite quiet when in use, even for external it's not too bad and shouldn't be heard though walls/doors, although the screams might! While used internally we couldn't hear a thing, so no danger of being discovered if you are out.
The remote:
The circular design of the remote control makes it nice and easy to hold and use, and due to its size and weight it will comfortably sit in a pocket without being much hassle.
As with the egg, it is charged by pushing the plug through the silicone and flashes when charging.
The amazing thing about the remote is the large red band of light that runs round half of the remote. This flashes in time with the vibrations that you have sent to the egg so you know exactly what your partner is feeling. This is a god send as using it for a while and cycling through the settings you could easily lose where you are.
The range of the pairing is massive. Before first time use we tested the range and found the remote turns the egg on if I am at the end of the garden and the egg is at the other end of the house upstairs, which is probably about 20m though brick etc. We haven't tested the range further but this is perfectly acceptable to us.
In use the range is reduced slightly as I can only be halfway down the garden to switch the vibes on, but this is still plenty for use out and about, and ideal for switching on if I have nipped away from the table in a restaurant!
There is nothing like waiting for the waiter to come over to take an order with your finger poised on the button!
This is our new favourite 'out and about' toy and always comes out when we are going out for an evening. If you are debating getting an egg, although a bit pricier than some, then buy this, you really won't be disappointed!
- Pros
- The shape and strength of vibrations, decent range looks nice.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Great toy for out and about, and in and about!

A Fantastic Couples Toy
Reviewed: 31 March 2014 by Scorpius12, a Straight Married Female
As always my package arrived quickly and discreetly, thanks Lovehoney!
In a word - wow! The love egg and remote control arrive in a lovely black and orange box, which is covered by a cardboard sleeve that has a picture of the product on the outside. The box inside is very well made, and inside it has foam 'cut outs' into which lay your egg and remote control. There is also a section below the foam in the bottom of the box where you will find the instruction booklet and charger. This would make a lovely gift box and also is great for storing your love egg when it is not in use. You can immediately tell that this is a quality item!
Both the egg and the remote control look sleek, classy, and maybe even futuristic in their simplicity of design and are a complete dream to use. I have another remote control egg which I thought was amazing, but this one really takes top prize.
The egg itself is made from silky soft silicone and I am happy to report is completely seam free. It has a retrieval cord moulded to it which is also made of soft silicone and again very smooth to the touch. The cord is quite a bit longer than I have seen on other eggs, but as it is so soft and smooth, you really don't notice it once the egg in inside you. The controller is also made from the soft silicone and is circular in shape.
To get started you have to charge the egg and controller for 2 hours, which gives you about 1.5 hours of play time. Rather brilliantly, the charger's lead splits into twin charge points, letting both the egg and the remote charge at the same time. The charging sockets are discretely hidden. Just line up the charging jacks with the symbol on the egg or remote, and push through the silicone until the jack clicks into place. When then the jack is removed, the silicone 'self seals' making the toy watertight. Clever!
I did have a little difficulty in getting the charger to push through the charging socket, but the lovely Lovehoney team were on hand to reassure me that all I needed was to give it a firm push and it would go in okay. I was soon watching in anticipation as my new toy flashed away charging…
To get your toy started, just hold down the power button on the remote for 2 seconds, then do the same with the egg. The egg will then buzz into life.
This toy really does pack a punch. The vibrations are powerful, with 2 static vibration speeds and 5 patterns. The toy is fairly quiet and discreet when being used, which is very important to me when buying a toy, although in a very quiet room you can hear the vibrations.
The silicone egg is a great shape and after coating it in water-based lube I slipped it inside me. Probably due to being a 're-chargeable toy', this egg is lighter than other battery-operated eggs, making it very comfortable to 'wear'. The egg weighs only 50 grams and the controller 33 grams.
My husband could not wait to try my new toy, so we headed down to our local supermarket. We've never had so much fun shopping! Laughter is a huge part of a healthy sex life and with this little egg, I can assure you, you will be thoroughly enjoying yourselves... I know we did! It was such a turn-on to know that at any second my husband would click the remote and have me buzzing away and trying to keep a relaxed face while hoping no-one would notice my flushed appearance. The range was excellent too.
The remote control is one of the best I have seen. It is so simple to use. You just click the power button to scroll through the 7 different vibrations. But the 'Pièce de résistance' is the fact that it has a sensual LED light panel which flashes in time to the vibrations on the egg, so the user knows exactly which vibrational pattern you are experiencing. This feature also makes this toy great fun in the dark!
This is an amazing toy and now one of our firm favourites. You can use the egg internally or externally, it is quiet and discreet, looks really expensive, and is built to last. My husband is planning on me wearing this out to a restaurant soon. That's going to be interesting!
- Pros
- Everything! Power. Quality. Ease of use and so much fun.
- Cons
- Absolutely nothing!
- Bottom line
- Fantastic couples toy!

So much hope
Reviewed: 11 August 2014 by MrsMcX, a Straight Married Female
The Proteus 7 Function Rechargeable Remote Control Love Egg arrived quickly and discreetly in a medium sized plain brown box. I received this item as a test product from Lovehoney in exchange for an honest review. Thank you, Lovehoney!
The packing for this product is definitely up on the list of best sex toy packaging! The box the Proteus Rechargeable Remote Control Love Egg arrives in is covered with a cardboard sleeve which has a picture of the product on front. Removing this sleeve leaves you greeted with the beautiful box that it comes in. It is a plain black box with orange detailing along the sides. The design of it isn't your standard box, as the lid is cut at an angle and it totally oozes class and elegance.
Once you open the box the love egg and the remote control are safety tucked away inside foam cut outs. Initially I was a bit confused as to where the charger is, but it's located under the foam along with an instruction booklet.
First impressions:
On inspecting the quality of the toy I was highly impressed. The egg is totally seam-free and it has a very sturdy retrieval cord. It feels incredibly nice. The finish on the egg feels almost like velvet to the touch. The controller looks very good and fits perfectly in your hand. The fact that it's round really makes it more uncomfortable to hold and to change settings, and all of the buttons are very easy to press.
However, the charging cable is an EU plug, so you will need an adapter to convert it to a UK plug for charging. The charging cable splits off in two parts at the end, so you can charge the controller and the egg at the same time, which I think is a brilliant feature.
Using this product:
When charging the love egg and the remote control you need to be slightly forceful with it. The two charging ports, which resemble headphone jacks, push into the love egg and controller. You actually need to push the charger through the material - this can be a little bit difficult. You need to push the charging points all the way through the material so they can no longer be seen.
When the love egg and the controller are charging, they have an indication lights that flash when charging. Once the love egg and controller are fully charged (after less than two hours), the lights change to a constant fixed light.
The instruction leaflet that comes with the product is pretty poor. It is practically an advertisement for all of the company's other products, and only had a small section that informs you about the product, and it has clearly been written with the aid of an online translator because it's pretty hard to understand.
Firstly, you need to hold the button on the controller until the light comes on. You then press the button on the love egg, and it's light flashes to indicate it has obtained a connection and it automatically buzzes into life.
To change the settings on the love egg, you simply press the button on the controller. What I think is great about this remote control is that the light on the product flashes, fades and brightens to inform you of what pattern is currently active on the love egg.
I used this product with my husband, and applied some water-based lubricant to help with insertion. You get an very full feeling from this product and it feels incredibly comfortable once in place. The retrieval cord is very generous. I don't think it really needs to be as long as it is, but it's comfortable nevertheless.
For the purposes of review, we got out a tape measure to measure exactly how far we could get the remote controller away from the egg before it stopped functioning. With other remote controlled love eggs that I have had, usually when my husband walks away the controller won't work any longer but the love egg remains buzzing away. However, with this love egg as soon as the remote control is out of range the egg cuts out and the vibrations stop.
We have established that the remote control does not work with the love egg if it is used about 1 meter away from the love egg, which I found a little disappointing. Also, if my husband happened to move the remote control over my head, or cover it with his hand, it would cut out for a second and then buzz back to life.
The vibrations are good, but I wouldn't say that they were very strong vibrations. The vibrations are pretty standard. The range of patterns that it comes with are very impressive, with only two constant speeds and five changing patterns there's something there for everyone! I would personally prefer it if the vibrations were a little stronger.
I thought that the love egg was reasonably quiet, but not silent, and could be heard quite clearly.
Once you've finished using your egg, you can give it a clean with sex toy cleaner and store away in the box for next time. When you turn off the remote control this doesn't turn off the egg. But what is great about this product is that the egg flashes to indicate that it's still turned on, so it's pretty hard to forget to turn both the controller and the egg off, meaning you'll never be upset over a dead egg!
I do really like this egg, and we will use it again in the future. However, we were hoping that it would have a longer range. This love egg can really only be used if you're planning on staying in bed together, and keeping the remote control pretty close, which obviously isn't that convenient if you're looking for something with a long range. Luckily I already had an EU to UK plug too. It isn't mentioned anywhere in the product description that you need to have one, so I would have been really disappointed if it turned up and I had to wait until I bought one.
Overall, for the price of this product, given the average vibrations and the short range, I don't think I would recommend it to someone else to buy. It's highly disappointing because it has all of the right aspects of being an absolutely fantastic toy, but it just falls a little bit short of how good it could potentially be. I would be highly interested in seeing a new improved version of this toy to make it more value for money, but I believe that a £44.99 should come with more of a wow factor, and although I was left satisfied with this egg, it wasn't as satisfying as I initially hoped.
- Pros
- It's very unique and very very well made.
- Cons
- Vibrations could be better, and the range is pretty poor.
- Bottom line
- A brilliant idea, but not as brilliant when in practice.

Thx guys, (never seen a chick hang out here)
I have had SSLstrip working in the past and even posted some mail that Moxie sent me here on the forms. In short SSLstrip is really cool but MUCH to slow. I have also made dumps that I later decrypted after giving the "vic" a fake cert.
The thing is that I have like 30+ ppl hanging on a karma like airbase rouge AP. Got -P -C working etc. Since ettercap is doing all the arp work I often hit the remote_browser plug in to see what is going on.
It would be really cool if there was a way to auto copy all the issuer info on the cert and send a self singed one. Yeah the "vic" will get the browser warning from hell In short this is what I need.
1) auto copies info on real cert info, injects fake self singed one.
2) does this on the fly. No dumps
All the best
Let me explain officer, I am not a hacker. I am a security tester of sorts!
EDIT: look into the etter.conf, check the redir command is set right
You have to provide a valid command (or script) to enable tcp redirection at kernel level in order to be able to use SSL dissection. Your script should be able to get 3 parameters:
The network interface on which the rule must be set
The source port of the packets to be redirected (443 for HTTPS, 993 for imaps, etc).
The internally bound port to which ettercap listens for connections.
NOTE: this script is executed with an execve(), so you can't use pipes or output redirection as if you were in a shell. We suggest you to make a script if you need those commands.
This script is used to remove the redirect rules applied by 'redir_command_on'. You should note that this script is called atexit() and thus it has not high privileges. You should provide a setuid program or set ec_uid to 0 in order to be sure that the script is executed successfully.
Wummi are you sure that will copy the real cert? A few years back it just injected a premade cert and made a dump. The old way (if self installed) was something like uncommenting 2 lines after filling in the needed port info etc in the etter.conf? If this does copy the real cert I am going to shit egg rolls of joy!! Of course it will be self signed. I just assumed it worked like before. I am on a Winho machine for the next few hours Can't wait to try this out.
BTW read your first posts. Love to see new ppl here have something contribute. Thx and welcome
All the best
Let me explain officer, I am not a hacker. I am a security tester of sorts!
thx for the welcome! ettercap works how you need it.
here's the real cert in firefox 2 :

SURVIVORS, rescuers and dignitaries from across Essex joined together to remember the heartache and endurance of the 1953 North Sea Flood which changed the face of the county forever.
For a precious few hours, Chelmsford Cathedral came alive with the untold stories and heroics of one of the UK's worst natural disasters in which over 300 people tragically lost their lives and around 32,000 people evacuated from their homes.
The pews were packed to capacity as around 450 filled the cathedral, listening to and sharing their accounts of that fateful night and the devastation that followed.
The Princess Royal arrived shortly before the service at 11:30am in which she gave a reading, and spent over an hour meeting with survivors and victims' families to hear first-hand how their lives were affected by the disaster.
Peter Martin, leader of Essex County Council, who helped organised the event, said: "This was one of the biggest tragedies to ever strike Essex so it was so important to us to provide this opportunity for everyone to come together in the same room and share their stories.
"The event went wonderfully, and having the Princess Royal here was such an honour. It really made the event that much more special. It was a tragic and terrible point in Essex's history, but it nonetheless is a tremendously important event that we should remember."
Eager residents braved the icy winds clutching their cameras outside in a bid to catch a glimpse of her royal highness as she entered and left the cathedral.
Mary Blackall, 67, of Primrose Hill, Chelmsford, whose father helped in the rescue efforts, said: "This is such a big part of our heritage, and I wanted to get here early to see if could see the Princess and everyone going in. I mean, how often does a royal come to Essex? It's really fantastic that events like this are being held to preserve this part of our history."
Angelic voices from the Chelmsford Cathedral Choir sang hymns and psalms while readings were conducted by the Very Reverend Peter Judd, Dean of Chelmsford, and Bishop of Bradwell John Wraw.
Proud mum Sian Shordan, 48, of Brimfield Road, Chelmsford, whose daughter Bethany sang in the choir, said: "I'm so immensely pleased for her and all of the girls because they sing so fantastically. I was incredibly nervous for her but I knew she would do an amazing job."
Dramatic scenes from the play Flood! were also performed by Canvey-based drama group Cast and Crew to bring to life some of the stories of bravery which came out of the flood.
Cast and Crew member Andy Shore said: "The pressure was on, not just because the Princess Royal and dignitaries were there, but also because a lot of people in the cathedral had lived through the event. We just wanted to do justice to their stories and felt so privileged to be able to perform at this event."
County councillor Ray Howard, who was 11 when the storm hit, said: "There was not a seat spare in the cathedral and it was absolutely wonderful. It was a beautiful service, and really helped to bring home to a lot of people the true devastation of the flood. It's so important not only that we remember those who lost their lives and the people that helped make Essex safe again, but also that we remain vigilant to try and ensure we never suffer in the same way again."

CANA's official birthing occurred just before Thanksgiving, 2013 at the National Cathedral in Washington. Neither the time nor the place could have been more appropriate. There had been, admittedly, a lengthy and tender gestation for many months prior to November, just as there had been an anxious and prayer-filled laboring process for some several weeks leading up to the birthing launch itself. So it was that, by Thanksgiving, 2013, CANA was safely birthed and, from the very beginning, created g … [Read more...]

xxtypersxx - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkI've purchased two of these displays in the last couple months and they have both been awesome, its always nice to see that the test data agrees. I purchased one with and one without tempered glass and would recommend skipping on the glass. It makes the display much more reflective and has a pretty large gap between the glass and the actual panel. That said, the glass is great for cleaning and makes it look like an enormous iPad... Reply
Impulses - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkI was half tempted to replace my U2412Ms with some of these, but then I'd need even more powerful GPUs for Eyefinity, and I'm not sure three of them would be comfortable on my desk anyway. Definitely seems like a good deal for some tho. If I ever wanna dump my EF setup I'll definitely be looking at these again. Reply
JMS3072 - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkI've been looking for an economical IPS screen for months- just as I'm about to put money down on a Dell, this comes up. Thank you, Anandtech! Reply
palladium - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkHi Anand,
Thanks for the review. I was doing some reading about this monitor and I came upon a few threads over the internet that describes the "overclockability" of some of these monitors. In particular, there has been cases where users have successfully "overclock" these monitors to 100Hz +, such as in these threads : http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=22413... (see image on post #125) and http://www.overclock.net/t/1225919/yamakasi-catlea...
Just wondering if your sample is able to be overclocked. If you could do some more investigation into these it would be fantastic.
Thanks in advance. Reply
landerf - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkThe crossover has the best build quality, full metal back, and a fairly rigid stand. That's the one to get. Also this test is fairly pointless as there is epic variation between these panels LG labels "A-." You'll be lucky if your colors are in any way even. Reply
Impulses - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkThese are all glossy aren't they? Or is there a matte version? That and the lack of DP input (which some variants add) is what turned me off of these last time I looked at them. Reply
Roland00Address - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkIt is a glossy display, it is not that bad as long as you don't have a window directly behind you. I prefer matte displays yet I love this monitor.
Now the problem with most matte LG IPS panels they have the horrible anti glare coating on them that you see on monitors like the u2412 or the u2711 Reply
Zoomer - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkI used a mac in a windowless lab. It had great colors and black levels, but I fired up a movie and was horrified at the reflections. Me, lights, other computers, people, and that was at max brightness. It's a deal breaker, imo. Reply
Roland00Address - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkI agree in SOME situations a glossy display will be a deal breaker, it depends on the rooms lighting.
At the same time the horrible anti-glare coating on many dell (any other brand monitors that use LG IPS panels) should also be a deal breaker. It ruins what would normally be such a beautiful screen. This anti glare coating is only select matte IPS LG panels. Reply
Zoomer - Monday, June 04, 2012 - linkI agree some mild antiglare, like the antiglare used for virtually all LCDs, would be preferable.
However, I think glossy is bad is more than the majority, or at least more than half of the use cases. Dark images are not just in movies/games, and it would be unreasonable to expect the user to wear a black turtleneck with dark jeans, and to wear contacts instead of glasses just to use the screen. Reply
Whedonic - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - link@Impulses
These are glossy displays. If you get the version with the glass front, then it's extra reflective. The regular version, that's reviewed here, is definitely reflective, but I've certainly seen worse. Basically, if you put it near a bright window you'll have trouble, but otherwise the monitor is bright enough that the reflections mostly disappear. Plus you don't have that annoying grainy anti-reflection coating like whats on the dell u2412. Reply
Whedonic - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - link@Palladium
It's only the Catleap brand version of this monitor that's possibly overclockable, and only the 2B version had the board that let it get up to 100hz. Unfortunately the 2Bs have long since been replaced subsequent manufacturing runs. On the bright side, it looks like you can now order a special edition Catleap that has the old board. And with a top of the line nVidia, you can actually push them up to 120hz over displaylink. Sexy monitor magic! Reply
Roland00Address - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkOne of the forum regulators made a deal with Catleap about ordering more of the 120hz version of the Catleap in a limited quanity run. They are orderable at 120hz.net
They cost $459 though and even though the monitors are capable of 120hz most video cards can only do 85 hz or 100 hz. The only video cards that can do 120hz at 2560x1440 currently are the 600 series of nvidia (but not in sli) Reply
Zoomer - Monday, June 04, 2012 - linkSomone just hacked it so a GCN card can drive a catleap at >100 Hz in both single card and xfire. Good news. Reply
Roland00Address - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkLove it, has no dead pixels and I have no regrets. Cost me $374 at the time but as you said the prices have now dropped to $300. Reply
hammer256 - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkNice review. Got one of these 2 months ago and it's been pretty sweet. I've been using the 220v rated power brick that came with the monitor in my 120v outlet without problems so far The brick doesn't even feel that warm. Worst case, it'll be 30 bucks to get a 110v brick. Reply

Death666Angel - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - link...to buy one of these from Korea. Too much of a hassle when it comes to complaints with the display.
I'm happy with my Samsung 1440p display that wasn't too expensive either (570€) and I like having an OSD and some more inputs. :-) But if you are in the market for a few 27" the saved cost could be well worth it. :-) Reply
Taronga - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkThanks Anand for the write up. I've been using the Catleap version of this monitor for 2 or 3 months and have been VERY happy so far--no bad pixels, minimal light bleed, and good uniformity.
Also, it's worth noting that Microcenter appears to be selling a version of these monitors for those concerned about state-side warranty issues (although slightly more expensive at $399 but also with HDMI input).
Link for the monitor is at http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.... Reply
duffman55 - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkThe article mentions there's no scaling hardware on the cheaper models. What happens when you connect something like a PS3 where many games only output a 720p signal? Is there just a laughably small picture surrounded by a huge black border? That might actually be kind of funny, but not so useful. Reply
Ryan Smith - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkYou get nothing. Because it lacks scaling hardware it can only show a 2560x1440 image. Reply
Impulses - Sunday, June 03, 2012 - linkDoesn't the PS3 upscale everything to 1080p anyway? You'd still have a problem regardless, it's not a useful display for consoles. Reply

hechacker1 - Monday, June 04, 2012 - linkYeah, the caveat being that you need a GTX 680 to overclock it to 120Hz.
I think only a few 7970s get to 100Hz, most to 85Hz.
Which is still really nice for a display of that size. I'm buying one after I save a bit for both the 680 and monitor. Reply
Oxford Guy - Monday, June 04, 2012 - link1. No mention that it's only available in glossy. Some of us just won't use glossy displays. The semi-gloss of the BenQ VA screens is as reflective as I can tolerate.
2. No mention once again as to whether these use PWM or constant control backlighting. The expensive HP uses constant control so there is no fatiguing flicker. This is EXTREMELY important for buyers like me who can't tolerate flickering LED backlighting. I have had to quit using my EW2420 because of the flicker. I can literally see an afterimage composed of horizontal lines when I close my eyes after using it.
I am in the market for a new display with constant control backlighting and a non-reflective screen. Reply
JNo - Monday, June 04, 2012 - linkHi,
Have a question for any who own this. I understand it doesn't have a scaling chip but I *presume* that the power and abilities of decent discreet graphics cards should allow most configurations. For instance, I would be worried that my 5850 is good for 2D but would struggle at 2560x1440 on most modern games. So....
a) If you set the graphics card to, say, 1920x1200, will this monitor show it centred it with large black bars around or not at all?
b) Is this monitor ok if you *render* at 1920x1080 but have your gpu *scale up* the output to 2560x1440 to use the full screen real estate?
c) If you're ok to scale up an image rendered at 1920x1080, does it look fine at such high resolution/low pixel pitch? Or does it look blurred or jaggy? i.e. how acceptable and noticeable is the fact that it is scaling?
Thanks for any help Reply
pm - Tuesday, June 05, 2012 - linkI just bought one of these QH270's last week.
For game rendering, I have an ATI Radeon 6850 and my video card scaled everything automagically for me, and the scaling looks pretty good. There are no black bars.
I had it rendering 1920x1200 for Skyrim today as a demo and it looked great and filled the whole screen. It was not as crisp as at the native 2560x1440, but it looked good enough that we actually weren't sure what resolution it was running at. I didn't think it looked super blurry, but I had to say that when we switched to 2560x1440, it was obvious that it had been scaled. But like I said, I was showing the monitor to co-workers and we weren't sure what res it was at, so that's a pretty good thing. Reply
phemark - Wednesday, June 06, 2012 - linkHi,
I was looking into buying a cheap IPS display (Dell 2412m was on the top), but after reading this, Im very interested. The only thing Im not sure about, if I would be able to use dualDVI converted to connect to HDMI? Is that possible? (I would be connecting it to my laptop running ATI Mobility 5870)
P.S. What about Catleap Q270? Reply
maximumGPU - Wednesday, June 06, 2012 - linkfor those that used it for gaming, any noticeable input lag? Reply
Throckmorton - Wednesday, June 06, 2012 - linkDVI only is not a drawback. It means there's less hardware between the computer and the display, which means less input lag. Reply
Throckmorton - Wednesday, June 06, 2012 - linkGlossy means more sharpness and clarity. This is important for two things especially... Reading text and photo editing. Reply
phemark - Thursday, June 07, 2012 - linkPlease help me find answers to these questions (I have Asus G73 with ATI Mobility 5870):
Would I be able to get 1440p via HDMI to HDMI?
Would I be able to get 1440p via HDMI to HDMI-to-Dual-DVI converter
Any other way to get 1440p from my G73?
From AMD website, i get the following about my Mobility 5870:
Integrated dual-link DVI output with HDCP
Max resolution: 2560x1600
Integrated DisplayPort output
Max resolution: 2560x1600
Integrated HDMI 1.3 output with Deep Color, xvYCC wide gamut support, and high bit-rate audio
Max resolution: 1920x1200
Integrated VGA output
Max resolution: 2048x1536.......
So it seems that GPU can support that resolution, but as my G73 only has HDMI and VGA, is there a way i can do it?
Thanks a lot for all your help!
phemark Reply
geforce912 - Friday, June 08, 2012 - linkHey phemark, i think the hdmi on 5870 is version 1.3. Version 1.3 doesn't support any resolution above 1920x1200 over hdmi. So even though your mobile 5870 can run at a resolution of 2560x1440, that much resolution can't be sent through hdmi 1.3 so you can't run 1440p with your laptop unless your laptop happens to have a dual-link dvi output. Hope this helps. Reply
phemark - Friday, June 08, 2012 - linkThanks for the reply.
I had a feeling about this....
Oh well, Dell 2412M with 1200p is for me then...

While next to it I have the Samsung XL30($2800), not much to compare.I had the factory calibrate the XL30 for the LED triads to uniform neutrality.
While the Shimian took a couple calibrations, it is acceptable. and required a bit of override on color adjusts. Or the Spyder3 didn't work to well with it.

20 Dumbest Presidential Campaign Slogans
While it never wins or loses the election on its own, having a simple slogan that defines your campaign can mean a lot, particularly with undecided voters. So, in the best case scenario, it shouldn't be totally stupid. Here, in no particular order, are the 20 dumbest American Presidential campaign slogans.

SPORTS>>Jacksonville upset by West Memphis
Leader sportswriter
Perennial powerhouse West Memphis had lost its first four conference games, and looked to be an easy road opponent for Jacksonville. That wasnt the case. The Blue Devils completely overhauled their system in an attempt to improve a spiraling season, and caught the Red Devils off guard en route to a 60-57 overtime victory. Jacksonville was not expecting the kind of slow, deliberate pace that West Memphis ran Friday night and had trouble adjusting. Making matters worse was the fact that leading scorer Kajaun Watson sat more minutes than he played due to foul trouble.
They probably threw 20 passes per possession, Jacksonville coach Victor Joyner said. Sometimes I bet it was 30. They were running a lot of that Princeton stuff, a lot of cutters and backdoor screens. We were the first ones they did that too, so the rest of the conference is going to have to get ready for a different team from now on. The Red Devils tried to increase the pace of the game, but fouls hindered them all night. Jacksonville was called for 27 fouls, but good team depth left only one player, Watson, fouled out at the end.
Even with the different offense and the foul trouble, Jacksonville had its chances. The best one came with 15 seconds left and the game tied at 49. Jacksonville guard Terrell Eskridge had two free throws for the lead, but missed both. West Memphis missed a shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. Jacksonville trailed by three with 14 seconds left in overtime when West Memphis lost the ball out of bounds, but two three pointers missed the mark leaving the Blue Devils with their first conference win of the season, and dropping Jacksonville to 2-2.
Early in the third quarter, Jacksonville succeeded temporarily in increasing the pace. The Red Devils forced a couple of quick turnovers and briefly took a two-point lead. A third steal by LaMarcus Trask left him set up for a layup, but the ball was knocked loose as Trask was shoved forward. West Memphis took the ball the other way, hit a layup and got a foul to reclaim a one-point lead. Jacksonville never led again.
That play sort of took the wind out of us for a little bit, Joyner said. After that we never could get it sped back up because the game was being stopped to shoot free throws every minute. We didnt handle that very well. We werent shooting well from the outside, but we werent throwing it inside again for some reason, I think we threw it in there maybe six times. This team, because of the inexperience, just isnt patient enough. We got behind, so they started shooting and rushing shots.
Thats not to say Joyner didnt find a few things to brag about. Joyner was pleased with the play he got from two sophomore guards, Antonio Washington and LaQuentin Miles.
They still have to learn to be more patient, but they played pretty well, Joyner said. Washington didnt go crazy out there and throw the ball away. He played under control and did a pretty good job. LaQuentin took some good shots and penetrated well. They just werent going in for him. Its good that guys are stepping up because were going to need them.
Jacksonville has won just one game away from home all season, and that must change this week if it hopes to stay in the conference race.
Due to new bleachers being installed in the Devils Den at Jacksonville, the Red Devils wont play another home game until Feb. 3. Were going to have to learn how to deal with being away from home, how to deal with calls on the road. Its just different. Nothings familiar and were going to have to learn how to deal with that.
West Memphis shot more than twice as many free throws as Jacksonville, but the Red Devils did themselves no favors with the opportunities they had. The Blue Devils hit 24 of 35 attempts while Jacksonville made just nine of 17. Eskridge led a balanced scoring attack for Jacksonville with seven points. Six others finished with six for the Red Devils, who are now 9-7 overall and 2-2 in conference play.
Smiths 17 points led West Memphis, 6-10, 1-4. The Lady Red Devils had no answer at all for the 16-3 Lady Blue Devils. West Memphis was already up by a mercy-rule margin by halftime at 46-13, and went on to win 84-31. Tarneshia Scott led Jacksonville with 18 points. Jacksonville was at Mountain Home last night after Leader deadlines. They will travel to league-leading Jonesboro Friday.

PITTSBURGH — Local media are reporting that Pittsburgh detectives are questioning a person of interest in connection with the slaying of two sisters.
Police haven't identified the man or said why they're questioning him over the slayings of 44-year-old Susan Wolfe, 44, and her sister, 38-year-old Sarah Wolfe, who lived together in the city's East Liberty section. Their sister, Mary Wolfe, is a Democratic state representative from Clinton, Iowa.
Police say there was no sign of forced entry into the home and that Sarah Wolfe's car was found parked a mile away. They have otherwise declined to release details, saying the investigation remains too sensitive.
Sarah Wolfe was a psychiatrist and Susan Wolfe, a teacher's aide, had recently moved to the area to live with her sister.

White Tux & Blazer
' White Tux & Blazer Zalando '
This season im in love with this Selected Homme White suit Jacket. White blazers are essential to both men and women. Both easy and versatile outfits that are perfect for passing from Summer into Fall. You can add a monochrome T-shirt or shirt and a pair of jeans or trousers. Voilà! Basic but with dozens of possibilities!
The white jacket is extra prominent amongst celebrities than others, and every time a gentleman wears a white blazer jacket on the red carpet, he stands out. White jacket attire has a rich and effective history, which connotes the chic post-war era, as well as a sense of formality. There are standard guidelines as to when a white jacket ought to be worn and when it ought to be left at house on the hanger.
For men, a blazer should be your go-to item for every outfit, whether it's daytime or nighttime. White is always a great warm-weather option as it's light and can bring a sharp edge to any look.
When wearing a white blazer with jeans, or any kind of denim, keep the sleeves pulled down. Avoid scrunching them, it can appear too sloppy and dated. Jeans are the casual staple, so make your blazer is fitted and perfectly rolled down to take the super casual vibe down a bit.
Get the blazer here at Zalando

Last night's episode of Flipping Out featured Jeff wrestling with some of the negative aspects of the design business, such as unsatisfied clients and unethical contractors. Jeff also revealed his million-dollar idea, but sadly it's not going to make him millions- yet!
The episode begins with the remnants of Randy, and Jeff needs to hire a new contractor ASAP because Spring Oak is already delayed. When Jeff is at the job site to inspect the status, Randy arrives and he wants guess what? His check! Jeff asks him to invoice him, but is predicting that Randy – desperate for money – will exaggerate the invoice.
Back at the office, Jeff is in talks to develop his own paint line with a company that currently is not available in America. The paint is totally green – with little to no chemicals, but must be applied with a special brush. The colors are amazing. Jeff really wants this opportunity to pan out because he considers it the "big fish," or a way for he and Gage to move forward to the next stage of their lives. They want to buy a house and start a family of people children (even though they already have Zoila and 65 pets). Jeff is over relying on clients to pay his bills with all the unpredictability and stress of his business and is hoping the paint line will be the $300M lottery. He doesn't want to settle for any stinkin' single digit millions – that's for pansies – he only wants the almost billion dollar pay out!
