I know I say this all the time, but... ballnuts.
I've climbed Terminal Velocity at least 5 times. Although it was not always me leading, I feel like I know the route pretty well; it definitely deserved to be rated S. The books reflect the VS grade and I am somewhat surprised that this review does not reflectsome caution. The crux can be protected by a nest of small nuts, although it is sure pumpy getting them in. Although it's not the crux, you could hit the ledge from the upper 1/4 (10d/11a) if you are not attentive- lots of rope out on a undulating path and a slight distance from your gear with a ledge lurking below.
It seems to me that T.V. is very height dependent on the upper 1/2 because the footholds either do or don't allow you to reach the good hands. I think that's the crux.

|I'm somewhat confused by the first comment. The upper part of the route has excellent protection. A cluster of good, small gear can be placed at the start of the crux and a good RP can be placed (admittedly strenuous) in the middle of the crux. This RP is no lower than your feet when the next good gear opportunity arises. I wouldn't argue much about giving this pitch an S, but it should not be a death pitch.

|I agree that it's not a death-fall, which I why I said it is S and not VS. With the amount of rope that will be out however, it would be quite possible for a leader to hit the mid-route ledge from one of a few hard moves on the upper section, with rop stretch. This may be only my opinion, but it is supported by the traditional VS rating of the climb.

|I found this challenge of this route to be entirely in the first section, which had [awkward] moves, sketchy protection, and deceptive holds (read: classic!). While the upper section was incredible fun, the protection was excellent and the climbing easy. If you can stem, the upper part is about 10a. Jump on this small gem if you feel comfortable fiddling in gear while hanging less than perfect holds. Enjoy.

Hey, I was [Mark's] partner in the [first] ascent, circa 1981, I have done the climb a couple of times since and still think its great fun.

|I agree that this is a fairly sane lead for the Eldo 5.11 climber. You can sew it up through the crux. The hardest move was getting to the large chalked flat hold in the middle of the lower section... after that the pro worsens but the climbing isn't as hard (though still solid 10/10+ or so). I got pro in through this part, but I wasn't terribly confident that it could hold falls... the most 'bomber' nut placement on this section is behind a chalked hold that makes a funny sound when you set the nut. I would definitely give this a very solid 'S' rating due to the marginal nature of the pro. As for the upper part of the route (is it just me or does this seem just as hard as the crux?), you'd have to really screw up to hit the midway ledge. If you're up for leading it, I would recommend climbing Hand Crack first, and then suss out the pro options on the way down.

|This is a really great climb mainly because you have two very different types of climbing in the same pitch. The beginning is fairly sporty and strenuous and the upper half is amazing stemming. I do think that this climb deserves a solid S, but probably not a VS. The top is very safe with locker stoppers. The bottom however, can be pumpy to hang out and fire in a bunch of RPs. The pump from placing gear makes the upper portion feel harder than it is, but stick with it, it is not that bad. I got in what appeared to be a locker offset after pulling the crux, but it must have been behind the same loose sounding flake the above comment mentioned. I really would not like to fall in the crux of this climb. An excellent route if you're solid at the grade.

rating: 5.11b 6c 23 VIII- 23 E3 5c
Very fun route, and I agree its tricky to pro - I'd give it an S rating. Considerably easier than Foxtrot, a bit easier than Parallels, so I'm going with 11b...whatever...its fun. The hardest single crux protected pretty well for me, but the section above, up to the midway ledge, was harder for me to fiddle in good pro, so I ran it out. A fall would have been baaad.
I'll agree with a previous post: I also felt the pump from the first section while doing the upper half, but it is easier (10) and protects well with stoppers.
I think its really satisfying to do a route with this blend of technical moves and technical protection -- that's why it merits 2 stars in my book (despite the big, momentum-breaking ledge).

|The upper section might be a bit easier for those of us with small hands. Where as I could get some purchase with my fingertips, my partners (both bigger than me) had no such luck and were forced into laying back the arête. Still, the upper section is probably solid 10+ demanding wide stemming and finesse. Three stars.

|I just tried this (on tr) and in terms of pure difficulty of climbing found the upper section to be much more difficult than the lower section. I had a really hard time using the stems to gain enough reach to get to the good finger lock. Really fun climbing throughout the entire climb though.

|I'd agree with the crux of the route at the classic Eldo stembox up high. It'll be more challenging for those of a shorter nature.
By Bob Rotert
Nov 13, 2008
For the upper section of the lower crux, it seems kind of ridiculous not to place some pro in the Handcrack climb on the right when you can just reach right over to it. Just need a long sling to keep from getting rope drag. This will keep you from taking a "Terminal Velocity" braking fall or falling onto some marginal RPs.
But if you want to make this climb more serious than it needs to be I guess you could avoid this.
Except for the gear fiddling issues on the lower crux section, the hardest climbing, to me, did seem to be the upper corner. Enjoy!

|It's funny how many different opinions there are about what's hard on this route and why. I'm tall, so although the bottom had worse protection (kind of crappy rock), I reached up high and just got a left hand that I bet others would have to climb to. That would be dangerous (R not X) in my opinion. I felt like my height actually hurt in the corner above, because although I could reach things (like the final finger lock) easier, my stem has to be way wider or farther down. The bulge on the left wall you have to stem over ends up being higher on my body for me. I always have problems with corner stems like this, because to get enough purchase, my wide stem puts me far away from the hands. Alternately, a narrower stem has much less purchase. It also puts my feet lower which in this case is a minus.

Redpointed this yesterday as my first real Eldo project.
A helpful note for those aspiring to lead this gem: there is a great RP placement (largest size RP) just above the sketchy flake above the crux. It fiddles in a horizontal and hangs out halfway but is in solid rock and should hold a fall.
If the run out above the crux has stopped you from leading this, find this RP and you will feel much more comfortable on the sharp end. It needs to be a BD RP though because of the accelerated taper. A nut won't do.
Great route, looking forward to more projects like it.

The gear I found for the crux section was really good, although small and fairly spaced apart. I used a blue TCU, yellow C3, #3 BD straight wire and a #5 offset (RP) to get to the ledge halfway up the route.
Fishing in the #3 wire takes a bit of time, but the hold you're on is good, and once you get it in there, it's Bomber. It's nice to have that piece @ your waist making the 5.11 moves.

One of my old favorite Eldo gear routes. The actual first ascent date was November 29, 1980. We originally did it as a 2 pitch climb, since there is a big ledge in the middle. I led the first pitch (5.11 R), & Alfredo Len led the second pitch up the dihedral (5.10). We later learned that Eric Doub had already led the second pitch in August 1980, via an easier, indirect start to avoid the 5.11 first pitch.
The upper dihedral can be climbed using holds on the arête to the right (5.10b) or climbed in the dihedral, avoiding the arete (5.10d/11a).
After our first ascent, I normally led the route as one pitch. Most of the gear on the 5.11 climbing is bomber (even before small cams). It gets exciting hanging on a jug at the top of the bulging section where a #2 RP protects hard moves to get stood on this jug. Then the climbing eases off, but gear is still tiny. I remember using a sling made of nylon shoelace that would fit behind a small horn placed while standing on the jug.

Dress Designers (from left to right): Enzoani and Mon Cheri
If you haven't heard by now, Avril Lavigne is engaged to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger! Since they've been dating for only six months, we've come up with some dress ideas for Avril if she decides to get married any sooner than that! Here's what we know: Avril seems to gravitate towards the gothic chic and unpredictable looks. After all, she is a punk rock singer and songwriter. So perhaps she'd like a strapless, black chiffon fit-n-flare dress with matching black converse tennis shoes. Or maybe she'll go for a white halter, organza cage gown with a messy updo.
Our friends over at Hayley Paige have just sent over a sketch they did for Avril Lavigne's wedding gown, fitting the description she gave Perez Hilton on what she envisions wearing for the big day.

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.
All stories about Children & Youth
Colombia: The war on child soldier recruitment begins at school
Last month was especially busy as I organized field visits to our child soldier prevention and reintegration program.
Afghanistan: Fathers and sons learn a trade together
Multiple generations are learning new job skills like carpentry in Afghanistan's Helmand province, where decades of conflict have limited opportunities to earn an income.
Niger: Children suffer most in hunger crisis
Lauretta dreams of becoming a teacher. But she hasn't been to school since January, when she had to drop out in order to help her family at home.
Nepal: Teaching kids to prepare for floods
Young students at a school in flood-prone western Nepal learn how to stay safe in the event of disaster.
Haiti: Tuning into youth
We may not be the Sesame Street Workshop, but here in Haiti, the Mercy Corps team has been busy producing a locally-made educational television program for kids.
Haiti: Youth celebrate Soccer for Life
A few kids take it easy during Mercy Corps' Foutbol pou Lavi ("Soccer for Life") activities, which started last December.
Afghanistan: New graduates yield unexpected returns
The latest group of students to graduate from our vocational training program in southern Afghanistan — more than 3,600 of them — show that real success is giving young people hope.
Colombia: Reclaiming children of war
As many as 14,000 children are fighting in Colombia's armed conflict. Each year, hundreds are rescued or escape — but it's too risky to return home. Mercy Corps is helping them start over.
Colombia: Helping fellow soldiers back from battle: Adriana's fresh start
Helping former child soldiers rejoin society is familiar territory for Adriana. She was raised by her uncle in a small village where armed insurgents operated openly.
Indonesia: Mothers connect in the field
Portland, Seattle, Taipei, Jakarta, Brebes, Kutamendala. After 44 hours of travel my colleague and I wander into our final destination — a secluded village in the jungles of Java.

hughlle - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkOne of the few speculated reasons to pick up an i3, alas it doesn't seem to pan out. Still on the road for an i5 then. Reply
basroil - Saturday, August 09, 2014 - linkNobody every actually believed the i3 would last longer, since even in "heavy" use presented above the i5 is in idle for 5-8ms out of every 15ms frame. If the i3 draws half as much power in max but spends twice as much time there, battery life won't change much. Not to mention the display draws the most power during idle, so the CPU specs are watered down a bit there. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Saturday, August 09, 2014 - linkAgreed.
It's the "Hurry up and finish" mantra, the sooner the processing can be done and the processor return to a low-power idle state the better it can be for battery life. Reply
basroil - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkNot just CPU, SSD and other things attached to the mobo will also tend to idle more... as long as you don't use garbage programs like chrome! Reply
Walkop - Tuesday, September 09, 2014 - linkChrome fixed the CPU tick issues (which have been present since v1), causing major battery life problems in the latest Canary build. We're talking 25% less drain, based on a prediction by MS a few years back. Since idle power use has dropped by a very considerable amount in the past couple years on Intel platforms, I wouldn't be surprised if that number is now closer to 35%-40%.
It's still considerably slower than I.E. or Firefox, but the featureset keeps a lot of users. Including myself, lol. Reply
Wiidesire - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThanks Lal Shimpi for the test, however undervolting was not tested, so the test is useless for me. For unexperienced users however, who don't want to undervolt, this is a good test ;) Reply
Devo2007 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkDoes the Surface 3 Pro even allow you to undervolt the CPU? This isn't an Android-powered ARM-based tablet where you can simply root and install SetCPU to accomplish this. Reply
Wiidesire - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkYes, you can use Intel XTU for undervolting with the SP3 :) Reply
ewpelleg - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkYour right. This isn't an android device. You don't need to/can't root it to modify it. It is a standard PC. Reply
B3an - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkYes it's a PC, so it's far easier to undervolt and do these kinda things on than anything Android based. Derp. Reply
dylan522p - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkIt's even easier to undervolt the SP3 than it is to do anything remotely similar with a ARM based Android tablet. Reply
pukemon1976 - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkSimply root and install SetCPU? You forgot you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom kernel to allow customization that deep. Not that simple. Reply
fire115 - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkdont be a hater pukemon, its not very hard to unlock the bootloader on SP3 Reply
nerd1 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI think the best balance between power, heat, battery life is underbolted i5 version without turboboost. Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkDeactivating Turbo on low-TDP parts is a particularly bad idea, as you're robbing yourself of significant single-thread performance gains. A far better option would be to leave turbo active but to lower the power consumption limit / target (if you feel a need to do so). Reply
invinciblegod - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI thought windows 8.1 was designed to fit into less space. Why is there only 21GB left? Reply
Thermogenic - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkRecovery partition takes up a fair amount of space, allowing you to "refresh" your installation. It's pretty sweet too if you are ever in the unfortunate situation of needing to do so. Reply
Wiidesire - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThe i3 version has 37gb of free space and the Recovery Partition takes 50gb. If you move that one to an external USB stick you get 42gb of free space. Reply
Wiidesire - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - link*takes 5,08 gb. Sorry, I'm on mobile right now. Reply
kyuu - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI'm struggling to understand how it can only have 37GB of free space. Even with the recovery partition, I still have enough space to install a game or two on my 32GB Dell Venue 8 Pro. I wouldn't expect there to be crapware on a Surface, so what is taking up all the space? Reply
feeblegoat - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI think they meant to say that windows 8.1 <i> uses </i> 21 GB. That's about how much it is on my windows tablet. (it's going to be awkward if those italics don't work) Reply
Spunjji - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkI'm guessing that your Dell venue 8 Pro is running 32bit binaries. Reply
damianrobertjones - Wednesday, May 06, 2015 - linkPlus system restore, the hibernation file, the virtual memory AND the space still sitting there as Disk Cleanup hasn't been run. Reply
damianrobertjones - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkDisable the virtual memory, system restore, hibernation file then move the recover partition for FAR more space. Options are fun Reply
ivan256 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI've done quite a bit of Xen power tuning recently, and I'm not surprised by this at all. The reduced cache size on the i3 means that the same operations take the system out of C7 for much longer than on an i5. Long enough to overcome the wattage difference. If you look at your package C-state residency, I think you'll find the answer has less to do with binning than you think.
So you get worse performance and worse "idle" battery life. But at least it's cheaper.... Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThe even lighter tablet browsing test did show a gain for the i3 model; and that's closer to idle than either of the laptop battery tests. Reply
drothgery - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI don't suppose you'll get an i7 version to test out any time soon? Reply
luggage12345 - Monday, August 11, 2014 - linkI second this. I am curious to see how it really pans out, given the rumor going around about it getting worse battery life and getting really hot Reply
dan_g - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThe architectural strategy of "Hurry up and wait" is often the most energy-efficient. Run the chip at its optimal power*performance point, and then shut it off. This is why your cell phones, even, ramp up the clock speed when doing something, then put it to sleep. Both dynamic switching power and gate leakage power are saved when clock/power gating during sleep modes.
The results fall perfectly in-line with this strategy. Reply
Devo2007 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkOf course, quite a few people don't realize this, and customize their kernel to reduce maximum clock speed and such - thinking that this conserves battery. Kind of like undervolting on a smartphone - you may get a couple minutes of extra battery life, but certainly not worth the potential loss in stability. Reply
jeffkibuule - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThe most important metric in such tests however is the amount of work must be fixed relative to the battery power the device has. Tasks finishing faster mean you have more time to do more tasks, and thus battery life can be "shorter". Reply
MonkeyPaw - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI often wondered this on any battery life test. Device A might get worse battery life than Device B, but if the given test is a loop, then what happens if Device A made it through the loop more times? There's battery life in terms of time till dead, and then there's amount of work potential in a charge. The i5 Surface may have more work potential per charge, but the i3 Surface can last longer if the demand is light. Reply
mkozakewich - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThat's right. I'll play Minecraft on battery power every once in a while, and it lasts significantly longer when it's on low-power mode.
Actually, running it at 700 MHz constantly makes it last longer than if it was going full-bore, even when it's not doing much. Race-to-sleep sounds like it should be working better, but I haven't noticed it. Running the CPU at full while sitting idle on the desktop increases my power usage from 6 or 7 watts to 9 or 10 watts. Reply
nevertell - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkIf you were to limit the FPS of minecraft to something reasonable, then the difference between a set frequency and dynamic frequency scaling wouldn't be as noticeable. Reply
theNiZer - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThank you Anand for testing this - of great value to me and my company! Core i5 Surface Pro 3, here we come. Reply
geok1ng - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linki lost all desire on surface 3 after the tear-down showed that it is even more impossible to replace battery on surface 3 than on the previous king on planned obsolescence ipad.

And why does the 64GB version even exist?! Isn't it like just a $40 difference for a 128GB?
Seriously, I have been a big fan of the device right from the first Gen and have been advocating it since, but then I realised I would never buy one due to the limitations mentioned above. Reply
Wiidesire - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - link64gb is plenty enough if you only need the SP3 for inking and note taking in classes like me. However I agree on the part that a i3 with 128gb should exist and that for only 50$ more. Reply
Alexey291 - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - link64gb is what? 25 usable? Reply
Wiidesire - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - link37gb usable + 5,08gb if you move the recovery partition to an external USB-Stick -> 42gb Reply
HanzNFranzen - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - link-1
"Targeting photo professionals" and "$40 difference for 128GB model". So obviously you make up your own facts and marketing material because neither of those has ever been the case. Yea big draw back on only ONE mini display port...lol because we all NEED more than one on a tablet of all devices... And yea that mini SD slot... wow what a let down, I can add 50% more storage to my 128GB Pro for $25, woe is me. Not sure also where the guy above you got a 2-3 year battery life, I've had the Pro gen 1 since day one, used it every day through 2 years of college and still holds the same charge as it always has. Not to mention, I haven't seen anything that would suggest anything close to a wide spread battery failure on all of the original release Pro's. It is always fun to read the anti-Surface people's ridiculous complaints though. Reply
ewpelleg - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThe battery is replaceable for $200 via MS. Reply
Reflex - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThese are not using LiON batteries, they are using LiPo batteries. The usable lifespan before degradation is significantly longer, expect 4-5 years or so. We have an iPad at work, first generation, its battery life is still very good, even after all the iOS updates and heavy usage for testing. My original Kindle Fire still gets a solid 6+ hours.
LiPo is one of the major reasons we moved to sealed battery designs. Replacing the battery is no longer a necessary scenario with the exception of people who keep charged spares. By the time the battery is unusable, the device will be reasonably obsolete. Reply
mkozakewich - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkAnd on the topic of charged spares, the Power Cover is working well for me (with the weird exception that I don't like taking the cover off to use it in 'tablet mode' anymore, because then I'll be using up my main battery). Reply
Reflex - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkIs there a power cover option for the SP3? I didn't see anything like that but it would be great for taking on trips if there were... Reply
basroil - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkYou can use the old power cover just fine, you just don't get the snap feature and it looks a bit funny on the larger SP3 Reply

mtalinm - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI doubt he has one, see my comment above. Reply
mtalinm - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkDid MSFT not sample you an i7 for testing? It is puzzling - I have not seen a single "professional" i7 review. not Thurrott, not Rubino, not Bott, not anywhere.
I can only conclude that MSFT knows the i7 is not noticeably faster than the i5, and/or they know that the battery life is worse with the i7, and/or heat is more of a problem with the i7.
You would think they would want reviews shouting praises for their flagship SP3. This is the only explanation I can come up with... Reply
asmi84 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI swapped my i5/256 for i7/256 on August 1, and so far my tests indicate slight performance increase (around 5-10% depending on the test), while battery life seems to be about the same as i5 model. I tried playing a game World of Tanks on it just to see how long would it last, and I got somewhere between 3 and 3.5 hours (I didn't time it to be precise, just to get a ballpark estimate) until Windows showed me a warning that the charge is 10%. At work (mostly Visual Studio 2013, Office suite) I got about 6.5 hrs (compilation is very CPU-intensive, but relatively short, and TurboBoost totally excels in this scenario), including about 40 minutes of using OneNote in the meeting for note-taking. This is good enough for me (especially since I'm getting a dock so battery life will become a non-issue at work). One thing I've noticed is that I use the device at home more like a cell phone, than a laptop - namely I use it unplugged, and charge it when not in use. Reply
kelley5454 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkHow on Earth are you getting 6.5 hours? I would kill for that kind of life. I barely get 4 surfing the internet and checking mail. Reply
asmi84 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkLet me guess - you're using Chrome & have brightness set to max? Try using IE11 instead, and lower your brightness (I have it at around 40%). Reply
kelley5454 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI already said I had brightness set to almost as dim as possible. I do use Chrome sometimes but it seems to be the same in both browsers. I will try IE when I can. I have 2 sites that for some reason don't work in anything but chrome. Reply
mkozakewich - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkAlso, set your power profiles. You can do things like reducing your javascript timers and stuff. Reply
Daniel_Rubino - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkNo, Microsoft only provided the Core i5 for reviews, which I think makes sense. Having said that, I did pick up a Core i7 (personal) this weekend, even traded in a MBA for it to see how that went. I plan on doing a follow up review with the Core i7, though I cannot promise to meet AnandTech's rigid benchmarking/performance analysis. I tend to write more as a regular consumer, only because I know my limiters on these types of articles.
I think though people's gut instincts about the different Core options vs. Performance/battery life are pretty spot on so far. There really are no surprises. Will see how it goes in a few more days. Reply
ewpelleg - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkWere these tests done with Google Chrome? The intentional CPU pinging has not been fixed and is still an issue even with the newer kernel of Windows 8. It would be very...troubling to thing that even after the recent public attention this issue received that battery tests would still be done with it. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkIIRC Anandtech uses OS native browsers for battery testing; which is IE for Windows systems. Reply
asmi84 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkChrome sucks big time on SP3 in "desktop" mode (HiDPI support is buggy), and it didn't work for me at all when I tried to run it in "Metro" mode - just got a grey screen and no reaction to whatever I do (well except for system gestures of course). Which forced me - long time Chrome user in both Windows and Android's tablets/phones - to move to IE11. Reply
basroil - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkFirefox also works just fine, though hiDPI and touch support are still not quite up to par Reply
kelley5454 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkSo, assume I am really out to lunch about the battery thing? What does these numbers mean? I bought a surface pro 3 and sold my Dell Venue 11 pro and am now a bit upset I did. I wanted the i5 and 8gb and 256 ssd, however, my battery lasts for crud. I am lucky if I get 4 hours, I am not even doing anything hard to it either. This is just when playing a casual game like diner dash or a facebook flash game. This is my second Surface Pro 3, I returned the first one due to it being un bearably hot and short battery life. I love the machine but am upset. How do I tune it better? I already have the screen super dim. Will a firmware update help this. Makes it almost useless to me as a work device so I haven't even brought it in to try yet. Reply
asmi84 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkThere is definetly something wrong going on. Do you have all updates & firmware installed? Reply
kelley5454 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkYes, I try to do updates and it doesn't find anymore so as far as I know it does. This is my second Surface Pro 3... They can't all be messed up but I can't figure out what the deal is. Even when I do powercfg /batteryreport it reports a max of 4.5 hours for the estimate (which I have yet to get) I called Microsoft numerous times. They keep telling me its my apps and to reset the machine again, this is how I ended up exchanging the first one, the store tells me they get 9 hours.... grrrrr if anyone has any pointers or what I should be looking for I sure would appreciate it I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Reply
spicedham - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkYou are getting the correct battery life. There's nothing wrong with your computer. Flash games will eat up your battery. Nothing you can do about it that's the reality of the technology. The 7-8 hours of battery life is when you are web browsing like shopping and reading a news article. Reply
althaz - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkAre you using IE? If not switch to IE.
Also, you are basically talking about worst-case scenario battery life if you want to play flash games - flash sucks (the life out of batteries). Actually, games in general are a good way to suck the life out of your device. The latest iPhone for example, which one could probably squeeze out to about two days will be flat in 3-4 hours of gaming. Reply
mkozakewich - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkYeah, there's no such thing as 'only' playing a game. Games run a constant loop, so they generally use up all the CPU power they can -- especially Flash. Getting 4 hours on a game on a windows laptop is actually really impressive. A few years ago, you'd be lucky to get half that.
Here's something you can do: Click on the battery icon in the notification area, and open More Power Options. You can "Change plan settings" next to the Power Saver plan, and then "Change advanced settings" to open a dialog box of options. Go through that and make sure everything is set to be maximally power-saving on battery. Set the Minimum and Maximum processor state to something low, like 1% or whatever. It has its own minimum level. If your games get choppy and laggy, set the maximum state to 50% or something. Add salt to taste. Reply
kelley5454 - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkI only have one power plan and didn't see any of these options but I will look again thanks! Reply
damianrobertjones - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkWhich browser are you using? Please don't say 'Chrome' as that loves to use battery life Reply
kelley5454 - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkI was using Chrome because I have a school website that only works right in Chrome. But last night I tried to use IE as much as possible and it seemed to do a bit better. I had no idea a flash gameo n facebook was such a battery hog. I wish that wasn't the case. Thanks for the tip! I hope they make the power cover for the Pro 3. Reply
spicedham - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkWhat did you test differently between 'light use (web browsing)' and 'web browsing battery life' the latter gives 9 hours of run time? Reply
aznguyen316 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkMy guess is metro IE11 which can be then compared with other windows tablets and RT as well. Reply
kelley5454 - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI don't suppose any of you have an idea of whether they are going to make the power cover for this or not? That would be awesome for needed long term use. Reply
mkozakewich - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkI really can't imagine it. The power cover is about as thick as the Surface itself, and this latest update is all about thinness. I laid my bare Surface Pro 1 next to a friend's Surface Pro 3 with its Type Cover, and they were about the same thickness.
Power Cover is good for me, because I'd only get maybe 4 or 5 hours out of it otherwise, but Surface Pro 3 is efficient enough that runs as if it already includes Power Cover.
(I could see them introducing some ultra-slim external battery cover, which might give you an extra two hours or so. Unless they actually come out with a thick expansion-dock cover with a battery and extra ports, which would be fantastic. Who knows!) Reply

basroil - Wednesday, August 06, 2014 - linkBoth of those programs have far better CPU management (don't fuss with timers at all, Word doesn't even refresh the window unless you do something), so they are basically idle scenarios. I'm sure it gets in the 9hr range just fine.
As for fullhd from file rather than wifi, it'll have better life because there's no wifi, but doubtful it will budge much unless you either change the file (h264 complexity, and therefore computation time, varies wildly between sources and even when bitrates and internal parameters change) or have extremely low wifi signal (which results in a power consumption increase between upped gains and packet loss) Reply

A commenter, A.N., objects to my argument that the big reason for the explosion in government bond yields in Spain was not its debt dynamics, which are remarkably like the UK's, but because it does not have a lender of last resort, as the UK does.
He responds that the debt dynamics of France and Germany were just like Spain's. But they were not similarly punished. In any case, the facts are clearly otherwise. These are the relevant data for the three mentioned countries. It is quite clear that Spanish debt dynamics are far worse than those of France and Germany. Read more

Hercules Wimbledon's women produced a better overall result in the second of this season's Surrey ladies League meetings, finishing seventh of the 15th Division One teams.
They were led in by Amy Aronson and Claire Grima, who were 24th and 25th in 25 minutes, 46 minutes and 25.48, with Francesca Clarke taking 50th place in 27.34, Chloe Hawkins 55th in 28.02 and Alison Purnell 58th in 28.14.
Some of Hercules Wimbledon's youngsters also did well in the Nonsuch Park meeting - Zoe Illis led the club to third place in the women's u17 event finishing fifth out of 49 runners in 19.43, with Maire Gilmartin 13th in 20.46. Emma Klugman was eighth in the U13 race in 12.50.
Elsewhere, Hercules Wimbledon's Neil Fraser, who is currently based in China, received a late invitation to run in the Shanghai Marathon on Sunday - only a week after running the Beijing Marathon. He took up the invitation and completed the course in 3:06, a little faster than he managed in Beijing.
Two Hercules Wimbledon athletes were in action for the Roehampton University team in the London Colleges League 4.2-mile cross-country race in Alexandra Park, north London.
Jonathan Cornish was 15th out of more than 100 runners in 25.24, and Chris Donnellan 49th in 28.38.
Tom Cheetham was Hercules Wimbledon's sole representative in the Kingston 10km road race on Sunday where he was 28th out of 450 runners in 39.45. He was the top veteran over-45 finisher.
Pat Wright was runner-up in the Pirie 10-mile cross-country race at Coulsdon in 57.16 - more than 100 runners took part.
This weekend, on Saturday, Hercules Wimbledon are staging an inter-club five-mile cross-country match on Wimbledon Common which also includes the club's five miles championship for the Borough News Cup. The race starts from near the Thatched Cottage at 2pm.
* Hercules Wimbledon's track and field training sessions take place at Wimbledon Park athletics stadium on Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting at 6.30pm and Sunday mornings at 10.30am. Further details are available from coaching co-ordinator Maurice Sharp on 020 8337 8707.
* Hercules Wimbledon Athletic Club hold mid-week road running training sessions for marathon, cross-country and road runners from Lauriston Cottage, 6a Southside, Wimbledon Common, at the junction with Lauriston Road, every Wednesday evening from 7pm.

Young children with
type 1 diabetes aren't able to recognize when their
blood sugar level is high or low and then tell an adult. And sometimes it's
even hard for a parent to tell the difference.
Some signs that may indicate high or low blood sugar in a very young
child include:
When you see changes in your child, do a
home blood sugar test. It will show the actual blood
sugar level, eliminating the guesswork.

Same problem with ASUS USB-N10 adapter. Was working perfect with Backtrack 5 R1, upgrade to R2-R3 messed it up.
It uses the r8712u module (RTL8712U).
I tried recompiling it with the 3.1.9 kernel source (as mentioned above) with no luck. (Kernel source downloaded from www.kernel.org)
It compiles fine and everything seems normal until I try to load the module, then I get a bunch of "Call trace:"-errors in syslog.
I guess Backtrack got some modifications thats not compatible.
Anyone found any solution or new working drivers?

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
"Why the heck is that in here?" she asked.
She answered her own question the next time we went grocery shopping when she asked for a box of the same granola bars.
It was a brilliant cross-promotion that assumed that customers who order comforters online are also granola bar eaters. Actually, if I dug deeper into the development of this campaign, I bet I'd find that the crossover audience wasn't assumed at all, but rather was carefully proven through analysis of customer analytics.
I watched this successful promotion play out while I was working on this issue's cover story, which actually began as a broad piece on what aspects of consumer marketing could be used in the business-to-business world.
Creativity is considered essential for consumer goods companies to rise above the din of non-stop marketing and reach their target audience. It should be no different for B2B marketers, and yet by their own admission the same level of creativity doesn't exist.
"It's not like it's less important, but there are less expectations," Michele Culp, a marketing expert at Minneapolis-based BI, said when we spoke with her for this story.
Culp and others we spoke with agree that it's time for B2B marketers to step up their game and match the level of creativity seen in the consumer world.
Because so many of those we spoke with focused on social marketing, we ended up writing mostly about that new tool, how the B2B world is currently using it, and what can be done better. You'll see, however, that there are still advocates for using classic consumer marketing tactics — press releases and public relations, anyone? — in the B2B space.
If you're a B2B marketer successfully incorporating B2C tactics in your marketing strategy, we'd love to hear about it. Send us a quick e-mail or join our conversations on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.

Cities also declare snow emergencies
The National Weather Service- Twin Cities states the powerful winter storm hitting the area will continue to affect the area today (Sunday) through this evening.
"Moderate to heavy snow will be observed across much of Minnesota and Wisconsin today. Strong wind will develop this afternoon across western Minnesota, which will create white-out conditions at times."
Parts of Twin Cities area, the northern half is predicted to get 9 to 15 inches of snow from this storm. The southern half is predicted to get between 8 to 12 inches of snow.
Those interested can visit the National Weather Service's website, weather.gov.
Several cities in the metro area are also declaring snow emergencies.
Robbinsdale has declared a snow emergency. This means parking is not allowed on a street, highway or alley until the roadway has been plowed and the snow removed from the curb line. Cars will be ticketed and towed.
In St. Louis Park, on-street parking is banned from all streets until the streets have been plowed to the curb. According to the city's website, "Crews are currently plowing mains and do not anticipate going into neighborhoods until after snow subsides."
Golden Valley also has a snow emergency. Crews are plowing main arterial routes and "through" streets that connect neighborhoods to State and County roads.

Entry Level Pen Tablets: Making the Artist's PC-Life Easierby Laura Wilson on 12/6/2003 9:01 AM EST

holymaniac - Monday, December 15, 2003 - linkDoes anyone know of any pen that does not hover or that you can adjust the hover so that it only works when touching the pad?
I hate the hover feature on my wacom intuit2 tablet. It always seems like it is loose.
DXM - Wednesday, December 10, 2003 - link#15, I suggest you look up the difference between "accuracy" (line placement) and "precision" (your dpi comparison). I'll give you a hint, they're not the same.
But anyways, my question has been answered (thanks Doop) and I have no interest in continuing to hold a discussion with a man/boy who's only method of rebuttal is to insult and flame. Reply
pcpimp - Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - link17:
>> it was about acuracy
use the extra room you are given on the larger tablets. otherwise it's a handicapped test. look at the friggin test images! they are different sizes
>>It also seems that the only time the author >>mentions using a mouse to do any photoshop work is
nope, read it, especially for the aiptek. it seems she 'only' tries the mouse before giving up? wtf?
>>would not understand that "multiple trips to the >>history menu" means going to the little bar that >>says history and undoing things.
My point was, any normal person would use alt-z, and probably not even have palettes on especially for this operation. Why is a photoshop newbie reviewing a graphics tablet? Does my grandma test drive race cars?
>>>And even simpler than hitting E is flipping over your pen
laughing my ass off. you just lost your cursor position and it is slower. speed matters when you have work to do. you switch to every other tool using keyboard in photoshop.
>>The aiptek and the wacom cost EXACTLY the same price
really laughing now. the 8x6 aiptek is 1/2 the 8x6 graphire. who didn't read?
>>And for the final blow, you call the author a he even though Laura is a female name
I dont care what she is why is why are photoshop newbs doing anandtech tablet reviews?
bobolicious - Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - link#15/16
I think you're the idot here man ... you might have read the article before making yourself look like an ass.
First off, the trace test wasn't about DPI, it was about acuracy. From the test, any one can see that the wacom draws draws lines on the screen that are more acurate to the lines drawn on the pad. I also think using a fixed sized image for tracing gives a very good indication of how different sized tablets map to real world mechanics: moving a short distance on a small tablet covers the same area as moving a long distance on a large one. I think the images make it easier to really grok what that means.
It also seems that the only time the author mentions using a mouse to do any photoshop work is when the Aiptek 8000 tablet fails to be able to do the simple task of cutting and pasting a couple images. Obviously the tests done on these tablets were to test the functionality of the pen, and the reason for talking about the mice included with the tablets was to indicate that they could or do not do exactly the same thing as a normal ps/2 mouse (to which the answer is an astounding 'no' for the aiptek 8000u tablet). Even you admit to not using the tablets supplied mouse.
I don't understand how anyone who's ever touched photoshop would not understand that "multiple trips to the history menu" means going to the little bar that says history and undoing things. And even simpler than hitting E is flipping over your pen and using it like an pencil eraser (which the aiptek cannot do). The fewer the keyboard shortcuts and on screen buttons I need to press, the more productive I'll be in any application.
And for the clencher of your retardation, may I submit this for your approval:
"I dont think anyone thinks an aiptek is technically superior to a wacom just like a duron compared to a p4ee but for a value buyers guide I expect a lot better discussion!"
Ummm ... its a value buyers guide -> The aiptek and the wacom cost EXACTLY the same price -> The review shows that you can have a "technically superior" tablet (your words AND what the review implies) instead of a pile of dog excrement. I think that in that sense, you couldn't get a better review: even the defensive aiptek fanboi (how embarrassing is it to be /that guy/) is admitting his product is inferior to a product that costs exactly the same ammount of money. While still saying the review is bad. Beautiful.
And for the final blow, you call the author a he even though Laura is a female name in every culture I know.
Try reading before you stick your foot in your mouth next time. Reply
pcpimp - Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - linkin all seriousness...since drawing on screen without looking on your hand takes a decent amount of time to get used to, although still you should show an on screen trace test as well, maybe after a few runs with each tablet to get used to it, for the physical trace test at least make proper sized printouts of your sheet (that corresponds to the active area of each pad). you need to take in consideration the larger sizes of the tablets which mean your hand doesnt have to be held as precise all the time. and on your trace test, as in your other test, it seems like you are testing the mouse more than the stylus. wtf! the mouse is just there when you arent using gfx apps.
finally, I seriously am shaking my head at the photoshop page. I have no idea why you are even using the mice on any tablet at all in this test. you use stylus (And keyboard with your other hand) in photoshop period. there are so many things here that make no sense to a photoshop user, like "multiple trips to the history menu"
and "Wacom's Graphire3 didn't even require using the eraser tool from the side bar" (tried pressing E? it's a lot faster!) I see no mention of what monitor size you have. the larger monitor you have you want a larger pad or it feels really wierd.
anyway nice idea anandtech I think tablets are must have for serious photoshop users, they save a ton of time. however, next time get a reviewer with some experience with the topic. I dont think anyone thinks an aiptek is technically superior to a wacom just like a duron compared to a p4ee but for a value buyers guide I expect a lot better discussion! by the way, aiptek doesnt work well on linux at the moment, I Think wacoms are better supported in Xfree86. If you like to run photoshop under linux or something :)
pcpimp - Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - link13, you are an idiot. did you notice the images were different sizes? duh! of course the smallest tablet is going to have the highest dpi. that test only works when the tablets are the same size you dolt! on different sized pads, trace the image on screen, in a second layer in photoshop! duh! but reading the laughable photoshop adventures of the reviewer I doubt he would even be able to figure that out!

Doop - Monday, December 08, 2003 - linkI think the Intuos 2 has twice the resolution and twice the pressure sensitivity... Reply
DXM - Monday, December 08, 2003 - linkThe Wacom Graphire3 looks pretty good according to the review. Does anyone know what the absolute differences between the Intuos2 and Graphire3?
#12, get a clue. The reviewer traced a drawing for a reproducible image so you could compare the accuracy of the tablets. Reply
pcpimp - Monday, December 08, 2003 - linkby the way, do I need to mention how silly it is to do a fixed size tracing test on different sized tablets? hello! try doing ON SCREEN drawing like you would if you were DRAWING.
pcpimp - Monday, December 08, 2003 - linkUh, this so called 'artist' reviewer needs a clue...if I'm coughing up money for a wacom I'd better see a lot better review than this....I've had a hyperpen 8000 for over two years (was $99 at the time as well) and I clean up my scans and color them in photoshop and it works great...can not STAND using mice in photoshop again...you know you work zoomed in on that stuff (no need to strain your eyes looking for single pixels) and you move fast as hell so if you're talking hairline resolution differences who cares...pressure sensitivity is a different matter although again, the aiptek works ok for me there. btw on my second AAA battery for the stylus, and dont use the mouse, I just plop my ball ps/2 mouse on top of it when not doing gfx stuff and works fine.

AMD4ME2 - Sunday, December 07, 2003 - linkcool.. I've wanted one for a long time... continue to explore this avenue.. I would like to see just how good the top of the line tablets all.... Oh and .. what kind of drugs were taken during the testing of these tablets.. cause that creature is "Jacked-Up Like a Soup Sandwich" Reply

clevere1 - Sunday, December 07, 2003 - linkYou can also use tablets as a mouse replacement. I use the Intuos (I think it's the older brother of the Intuos2) for everything I do on the computer, except for 3D games like Quake and such. Reply
ivwshane - Sunday, December 07, 2003 - linkI do really hope for a mid level tablet review. I'm considering getting a tablet for casual use and to expand my artistic skills. After talking to an artist friend I got impression that any tablet will do but after this article it appears not to be the case. I would really like to have an accurate drawing tool but I don't know if it's worth the price difference to go with the intuos2 over the graphire3.
Tablets have been around for a while and it's about time someone did a round up:D Reply
Redviffer - Saturday, December 06, 2003 - linkWow, I didn't know Anand knew all those cool people. :)
I think that at the prices (sub-$150), they are still a little pricey "just to have", that is unless you can really put this to good use. I know I'd actually like to get one, as I can see my kids really having a blast with drawings. I'll keep an eye out, as with all things, the prices will drop. Thanks for the article. Reply

Doop - Saturday, December 06, 2003 - linkI just bought a Wacom Intuos 2 (model up from graphire) as a Chrismas present for my graphic designing girlfriend, who currently draws then scans in line drawing then touches them up with a mouse in photoshop.
I was a little worried that the pen wouldn't be accurate or sensitive enough for her to use comfortably, basically that it wouldn't live up to the hype.
If the Graphire is that good (thanks for the review) then the Intuos 2 I bought should be totally sweet. She'll be so happy there'll be no picky remarks about my heavy drinking over the yule tide period. Nice. Reply
AgaBooga - Saturday, December 06, 2003 - linkGaming isn't something tablets are designed for. I have one at home and they're really light, easy to draw on, and are very portable with long battery life. Those are the main selling points of a tablet IMO on top of the ability to write on them Reply
Shalmanese - Saturday, December 06, 2003 - linkDid you try gaming with the tablet?
I don't know about 3d games but I imagine games like C&C might benifit enourmously from tablet use. Reply
