Great stove

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
After a lot of research, I settled on the dragonfly. It is easy to use and seems fairly durable for a lightweight stove.
simmering away

2.5 hour pot of the best mixed bean soup. This stove is the best.
Top stove
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Just went camping with my stove that hadn't been used for two years, and before that it'd only been used a few times over the 7 years I've had it.
Make sure you take the spare o-rings and lube with you when you go away. My pump had three dried out o-rings, and wouldnt work. I'd forgotten to take my annual maintenance or expedition service kit with me, so couldnt use the stove (I had a pocket rocket as back up anyway).
So if you buy the stove, but the expedition service kit too. You don't need to take the whole kit with you, but a few o-rings and the little tool are worth having .
Restating the facts...
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm probably reiterating what you already know, but this stove is a boss. It is louder than all get out, but it simmers like a pro. I find it is far too heavy and bulky for alpine climbs, but nothing beats it for an "advanced base camp". If you are planning on cooking meals that requiring simmering, look no further as this stove is king. Many silencers are available, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
Despite the pictures, no bottle included
Member since
Despite the pictures, this does not come with a fuel bottle, it's just the stove head. You need to buy a bottle for it.
This is twice now that Backcountry.com has not delivered on what is pictured for me.
Awesome stove!

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned this stove now for over 11 years! It was one of my first backpacking purchases and it has been through the ringer. I'm not exactly sure how many times I've used it in how many different places, but it has worked perfectly for me at temps as low as -15 and as warm as 105. I keep wanting to get a Jet Boil for just water boiling, but I remember I have this and it's extra boiling power is worth the weight. This fits a lot larger pot than the J.B. making it prime for expedition style trips. The fuel bottles last, and I like how I can fill them according to the task at hand if I'm serious enough on weight. Oh, and this stove will burn just about any kind of fuel, another cool feature (that maybe isn't as cool today as it was 11 years ago for me).The only thing I have had to replace on it was typical nozzle heads, o-rings and every few years a new $25 pump because liquid gas corrodes the plastic over time. I am willing to bet this thing will last me another 11 years. Great Product, MSR!
Won't need another for years

Member since
I've had this stove for over 3yrs now and it's been used in every season. I haven't had to replace anything yet and using the device is simple. It's light weight and doesn't take up much room, the best part is I know I'll have this for many years to come, if you want to buy just one stove that will last you here you go.
Why The Dragonfly?
Daniel Joo
Member since
I walked into my local sporting goods store and told the sale representative "I want a stove that I can use 50 years from now". Without hesitation, he directed me to this stove. There are many other stoves you can buy that will perform on par with the Dragonfly. BUT, one crucial advantage the DF has over many other stoves is it's ability to SIMMER. This stove has the best simmering function I've seen compared to many other stoves that are just on/off. Simmering is very important when cooking eggs and making coffee via a percolator.
Some complain that this stove is loud but man is it sturdy and efficient. If the loudness really bothers you, consider purchasing a Quietstove (http://store.quietstove.com/) which will make your stove VERY quiet. The downside is that the Quietstove is quite expensive :/
Overall, a solid stove, would recommend to my friends.
Member since
+1 on the QuietStove for the Dragonfly. Its actually fairly priced for the engineering that is involved and manufacturing it. So I would not label it a downside. Every piece of solid gear has a price of admission and the quietstove is no different. I'm a former machinist and I am pretty darn impressed with the product. I researched for about 6 weeks before I bought my model 107 and from what I found it is the best price point out there and other solutions wind up costing more. Great customer service and support. Noise reduction is crazy quiet and the simmering is precision control is much much better. The Dragonfly and quietstove is a fantastic duo that can attack any outdoor cooking duty with ease!
I like rice

I can make a perfect pot of long cook traditional rice on this stove. That should be more then enough information on how well this stove works. Ken
Only choice for liquid fuel
Member since
"buy once, cry once" If you are going liquid fuel this is the stove you want. Yes its heavy and oddly shaped but man can it cook. I have tried every liquid fuel i can get my hands on and it has eaten it up like it was trail mix. I would avoid tiki fuel though smells horrible. This think will burn every thing from White Gas to JP8 and jet fuel. Im on my second unit, the weld that holds the burner to the base broke on my first and it still runs.
Member since
I've used Jet A in this stove and it works like a champ!
Universal Fuel = Universal AWESOME
David Hugens
Member since
Lightweight be damned, the Dragonfly will be my go to stove for almost every trip. This thing is a jet engine, loud and powerful. Combined with the Trillium Stove Base and this will stay level and sturdy on almost any surface. I know some people complain about the weight, but I'll trade that for reliability and sturdiness any day. I own two of these and find that lugging both of those along on shorter trips or car camping is better and more reliable than any of my friend's Coleman "basecamp" style setups.
Between the reliability and generally bombproof design, the ability to utilize multiple fuels makes this stove even more amazing. Take this all over the world, just don't try to bring used fuel canisters on airplanes... whoops.
Buy this stove, buy two!
*note: the included foil reflectors will eventually wear out, but MSR sells replacements on the cheap. Nothing's perfect.
Awesome Stove
Member since
After using friends DragonFlys in the backcountry for years I finally got one for myself. I have used a cartridge stove (Not sure what brand, I've had it since I was a kid) and have always liked the liquid fuel stoves over the cartridge style due to their versatility and the fact that you can use a wind screen as well as the stability of this stove in particular.
The DragonFly is amazing in the winter time for melting snow and uses a very small amount of fuel for the job (over a hr. on high per 10oz of fuel) and takes no room in my giant winter pack. For summer, it's a bit bulky but I like the fact that you have solid heat control and can bring foods to a simmer (great for beans and rice based dishes).
In real world conditions the stats given by MSR are a bit unrealistic but here's what I have found to be the average; 45F outside with a 10-15mph breeze at just over 7,000 ft., you can bring 3 � cups of water to a rolling boil in right at 3min 45sec (by the way, it works great at altitude also, lighting right up at a bit over 12,000 ft.). I used a GSI tea kettle for these tests and this was consistently the numbers I got (give or take 10sec either side on average). These numbers were with the wind screen and reflector that are included with the stove. For small pots (narrow based solo sets for example) you will need to jerry-rig something to narrow down the pot stand (I use tent stakes propped between the legs and have had no issues with stability).
Now as far as the noise, it's true that it's pretty loud (reminds me of a small jet engine) but this is only the case when it's on full blast. When simmering the noise is on par with that of your typical liquid fuel stove. If you're looking for quite, go with an alcohol stove (which I also like), if you want something that works with pretty much any pot and gives you the most control over the flame level (and a lot of heat when you need it), then this is the stove for you.
Best do everything stove?
Member since
I ended up getting two of these stoves because I was so impressed with the first one. I have only used white gas in mine but it is reassuring to know one could use other types of fuel if needed. I like the way you can actually cook with these stoves. I use one for boiling water and the other for simmering . I like to cook real meals whenever possible while out camping or climbing.
Works well at high altitude!
Holly Walker
Member since
Great stove - used it at 17,200 ft without a problem. Plus unlike XGK, it has the simmer option for slow cooking.

Used this stove backpacking in New Mexico all summer with no complaints. It is at a decent wait and offers a large surface area to cook on. It also burns very hot and a lot faster than most stoves (especially at altitude).
flexability stove
Member since
when you need a stove that can simmer low or full throttle. when your trips require a lot of fuel or just a little this stove will perform.
best stove
Member since
I've used the Dragonfly for a few years and just finally bought my own. Many reasons that it's great. It simmers really well, using little fuel when I'm rehydrating my homemade dehydrated meals. It boils water really quickly when it's turned way up (probably using a lot of fuel in that case). Like all the MSR lightweight stoves, it has a windscreen that can mold around the pot. The legs are very stable, unlike my old MSR Whisperlite. Doesn't need a lot of cleaning, even when using auto gas. It is lightweight for my backpacking trips of 2-10 days.

The QuietStove Model 107 is a quiet stove burner that makes the Dragonfly operate much quieter and boil water faster. Quietstove.com also makes these for the MSR XGK and Primus OmniFuel and OmniLite Ti.

Using Beeswax Clay to Make Reading a Multi-Sensory Experience
Then I learned in conversation with my friend that you first warm the beeswax by holding it in your hand, and it becomes pliable. Ahhhhhhh. It all suddenly made sense. It wasn't that all the people doing Waldorf beeswax crafts had superhuman strength. It was just that they softened the wax before using it.
So Ninna and I have started the most lovely of reading rituals with the beeswax clay. I promise you that if you try it, you'll love it. Here's what we've been doing:
1. Choose your book. We've been reading Little House in the Big Woods. While we did do this activity with a short book one night, it's been nice to do it with a chapter book because there is some continuity with what we make, as you'll see in a moment.
2. Choose your wax. Since our wax was still unused and still shaped in identical rectangles, Ninna has just chosen one color per evening. It's just the two of us doing this, so we've divided it in half and each taken one piece. We go with whatever strikes her fancy, but if you were following the Waldorf daily colors or had something else going on, you might have more of a purpose to which color you use.3. Read while warming your wax. Ninna and I each close our hands around the clay and hold it while I read a chapter or two of the book. As I'm reading, she'll occasionally peek at hers to see how soft it is. As it's warming, more of the amazing beeswax smell is released, and your hands also pick up the smell. It's lovely.
4. Sculpt! This is, of course, the best part. After I finish reading the chapter(s), we each mold something from our clay. We choose something that relates to what we've just read, and since Ninna is still just four years old, it's usually something straightforward rather than symbolic--a person who appears in the chapter, a central object, etc.
We've been saving them and have formed quite a collection. Here are some favorites, including Laura, Mary, a lollipop, a heart candy, a sled, a piglet, and a kitten, all of which appear in the book. Can't tell which were made by the 34 year old and which by the preschooler? Yeah, sculpting is not my forte ;).
We still have a few blocks of clay left, so we're still adding to the group we've already made. When those are gone, I plan to have us start again and re-soften the items from the collection to make something new. This will not only prevent the accumulation of too many of these; it will also help keep the focus on process and experience rather than only on finished, final products.
PS Don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Wonderful post Jaimie. I only learned about the wonders of beeswax this Christmas (melting purposes only), I need to get some of those slabs and try this.
PS Coincidentally, I introduced my chicks to Little House this past weekend and we are having a love affair!! - January 6, 2011 at 10:29 PM
- Andrea said...
Oh this is is neat idea. We have some of that wax that we only get out every once in a while and I always have to soften it for the kiddos (they don't have the patience), so holding it while you're doing something else is a great idea, as is having some direction for your sculpting, rather than just randomly molding a flower or whatever. Thanks!
- January 7, 2011 at 8:25 AM
Nice, Jaimie! With Boejey you could use the softer molding wax and she could make and play with the sculptures herself. We've been doing that since my boy was almost two and he makes some interesting things "all by myself." :)

DS has peaked in Japan, says analyst
According to this Kotaku piece, KBC Securities Japan analyst Hiroshi Kamide reckons that DS's day has dawned, both in Japan and abroad.
"Casual gaming growth has been driven over the last three years by the Nintendo DS platform," he said. "Demand has peaked in Japan, and we believe is currently peaking overseas. Compounded by a less robust retail environment, we expect to see a decline in the handheld sector."
Kamide added: "The casual market looks more exposed to an economic downturn, due to its non-essential nature. The sector remains 'hit-driven', which provides a positive outlook for the companies with strong core title line-ups."
DS was shown yesterday to be the biggest selling machine in Japan last year, having moved 6.34 million units.

URGENT - fukushima radiation spike
Published 3:12 AM CDT Sep 01, 2013
(CNN) -- There's been a sharp spike in radiation levels measured in the pipes and containers holding water at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan. But the company in charge of cleaning it up says that only a single drop of the highly contaminated water escaped the holding tanks, and that it's confident it can provide safety for workers dealing with the problem.

Saw a surfer with a cool electric VW bug conversion. Coast him $8 a month to run it with a 100 mile radius.
Saw my wife drop in on me THREE TIMES on her body board.first time I thought it was cute; we just rode straight into the beach side by side. I called her into a couple waves, then I thought it was my turn. I paddle, start to pop up and go right, and there she is right along side of me again. I go turtle so I don't run her over, and try explain that we can't surf the same wave 2 feet apart. She smiles and nods and snakes another wave.
I was a little pissed off but You have to dig her enthusiasm and her wave choice is getting better; she's just greedy!
Was surfing in Maine a few weeks ago and saw a 3 ft. sturgeon jump clear out of the water. I caught it out of the corner of my eye so it freaked me out a little bit until I figured out what it must have been. Nature's cool!
In addition to the amazing variety of hot asian women in Honoruru (fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, short ones, dark ones, light ones, thick ones, thin ones, etc etc) I once saw a green flash
Flat, flat, flat round here. So I got off my lazy butt and drove the extra 15 minutes North to Christianitos and walked down the hill, down the path, underneath the tracks and down to the American flag expecting to see all of OC and SD Counties at the only sure thing going on.
And there were 4 guys out. So I paddled out and one of em came in, then another and then another until it was just me and some other guy splitting the best peak in Southern California. I had the left there for close to an hour all to myself.
That's the smallest crowd I've ever seen there. I think that's pretty cool.
Speaking of alaias, I'm 5 years in and I'm still loving my alaia... I think that's pretty cool!

I tried to split an artist that had no relationships, but got dealt the following text: "There are no recordings, release groups, releases or tracks credited to only Sophie Sugar vs Sunlounger. If you are trying to remove Sophie Sugar vs Sunlounger, please remove all existing relationships instead, which will allow ModBot to automatically remove this artist in the upcoming days."
As it turned out the artist had one incorrectly credited track related to it (corrected in http://musicbrainz.org/edit/17677700 ), which made this artist use an alias. But the text above doesn't say anything about aliases blocking split edits. As relationships and aliases are under different tabs, it's not an obvious thing to miss.

Thinking Summer
There were three big steps Minnesota needed to make to start heading out of obscuritytown this offseason…
1. Sign Rubio. Complete!
2. Draft Derrick Williams. Pending.
3. Deal Beasley and get a real center OR an upgrade at shooting guard. Long way off…
I think the team is still pretty in love with Wes Johnson's potential, and adding Derrick Williams necessitates sending Beasley away. Darko proved he's a capable backup, but pretty awful as a starter, so common sense tells me that's our next move. Either sign a center, or trade for one. If we sign one, the obvious move is to pair Beas with something to get Demar DeRozan.
Of the potential Center options, these seemed like the best to me:
Unrestricted FAs:
Samuel Dalembert - The main problem with trying to acquire Dalembert is that the Wolves probably don't have the cap room to get it done. Looks like Minnesota will have around $50 million in salary when it's all said and done (draft + Rubio), and it's possible Sammy D could get more elsewhere. The Salary Cap is supposed to be around $58 million, but it could all change when the new CBA is in place. I've always been a fan of his rebounding/shot-blocking, and it would fit in nicely here. He's just better at it than Darko. Plus, ATHLETICISM!

Nearly eight years after Christopher Mader was gunned down Thanksgiving morning while on the way home from his Waldorf bartending job, his killer has been sentenced to life behind bars.
A Charles County judge sentenced Matthew Derek Correll, 31, of Newburg to life in prison without the possibility of parole Tuesday, nearly two months after a jury convicted Correll of Mader's murder.
"Mr. Correll, in this world there are givers and there are takers. I have seen nothing [during this case] to suggest that you have ever been a giver in your life," Circuit Judge Robert C. Nalley said. "You took Christopher Mader's life, so to the extent that the law allows, this court is taking yours."
Mader had just gotten off from work as a bartender at Bennigan's and was driving on Smallwood Drive seconds from his Hampshire home when he was shot in the head around 2:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving 2004. His car careened off the road and crashed into a signpost and power box near William B. Wade Elementary School. He was 23.
An off-duty Washington, D.C., policeman who lived nearby heard a lone gunshot and arrived on the scene to discover the wreck and Mader's body inside.
Officers suspected Mader, whose pockets were stuffed with tip money following one of the busiest bartending nights of the year, was the target of a botched robbery.
"I've been doing this a long time, as you have, judge, and I have yet to see a murder that makes sense. This one is about as senseless as it gets," Charles County State's Attorney Anthony B. Covington (D) said at Tuesday's hearing. "I see nothing that mitigates this crime. ... Matthew Correll killed a man for absolutely no reason."
The case went cold and remained so for nearly six years before investigators finally received tips fingering Correll as the shooter. He was indicted for first-degree murder Oct. 15, 2010, and arrested in King George, Va., one week later.
Two people who claimed to be with Correll at the time of the murder testified during his three-day trial in June. One of them, Shawn Marshall Myers, 34, of Waldorf, has pleaded guilty to his involvement in the crime and is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 12.
"As the verdict was about to be read, all I could think about was the years of hard work everyone contributed throughout this investigation," detective Keith Moody said in a statement following Correll's conviction June 29. "I also recalled the morning of the murder when I notified the family of Christopher Mader's death. Then to hear the verdict of guilty, it is a moment I will never forget."
Following Correll's sentencing, Mader's parents, Samantha and Phaon Payne, praised the Charles County Sheriff's Office and prosecutors who worked on the case.
Samantha Payne said that it was difficult to feel any sense of closure with her son still buried, but she did express relief that Correll "is being held responsible for what he did to Chris."
Defense attorney Robert C. Bonsib said Correll intends to appeal the case.
Bonsib asked Nalley to allow Correll a chance at parole should the appeal fail, pointing out cases where convicted murderers later have been proven innocent.
Bonsib said his client felt sympathy for Mader's family, but knew such sentiment would "ring hollow" since they were convinced Correll was the shooter.
Bonsib indicated Correll was not going to speak at the hearing, but Correll later stood and faced the courtroom.
"I would just like the family and friends of Mr. Mader to know that I do pray for you every day," he said.
Nalley also sentenced Correll to three consecutive 20-year sentences for counts of attempted robbery, conspiracy to commit attempted robbery and use of a handgun in commission of a violent crime.
"The judge gave the maximum sentence allowable, so we are certainly pleased with that, and Mr. Correll was certainly deserving," Covington said.
"Chris Mader did not deserve his fate or contribute to the circumstance in any way. Now we have justice for him and his family," Charles County Sheriff Rex Coffey (D) said in a statement.
"Matt Correll has finally been held accountable for his actions," detective Kevin Keelan said. "It's been a long time but I'm glad to know that Matthew Correll will not be back on our streets to harm anyone ever again."
Knowing she would be unable to keep her composure during the sentencing hearing, Samantha Payne stood nearby as her statement was read to the court by her sister, Leslie Mendelson-Craven.
"Mr. Correll has never given any consideration to how he affected our family when he murdered my son," Mendelson-Craven read aloud. "Every Thanksgiving is a constant reminder of our loss. I will never see my son get married or have children, my grandchildren. ... I think we will all sleep a little easier knowing Mr. Correll is behind bars for the rest of his life."
Shelly Willson, who now lives in California and called Mader her best friend, said he was the one person she could always count on.
"No matter what else was going on in his life, you could never tell because he always had that beautiful smile on his face. Chris was the most caring and generous person I ever met," Willson said. "Mr. Correll, what did he do to you that made you so mad that you had to murder him?"
An aspiring sportscaster who had interned for "The Sports Junkies" radio show and Fox 5 in Washington, D.C., Mader was set to begin taking broadcast journalism classes at the University of Maryland the spring semester after he was murdered.
At Tuesday's hearing, prosecutors played Mader's audition for the ESPN reality show "Dream Job." Mader's cheerful voice filled the courtroom as those inside listened, sobbed and, every so often, chuckled at his playful demeanor.
"He would be with ESPN if he was alive today. No doubt about it," Samantha Payne said.

Letting Go of the Big Story: Why I still have an urge to go way down in Egypt-land
…(and tell old Pharaoh, "Let my people go.")
Alright, I admit it. I'm having a hard time letting go of covering the big story.
For a good portion of my adult life, about 15 years, I've been covering stories that matter – and now I'm suffering from Page-One Withdrawal.
One morning last week, I woke up at 5 a.m. with a plan of heading to Egypt with my four-month-old baby. I imagined taking breaks from the massive demonstrations to breast-feed him as he slept in a room at the Cairo Marriott, a very lovely hotel in which I feel at ease. Through Egyptian friends, I'd quickly find a nanny to stay at the hotel while I went out reporting for a few hours, then came back to be with baby. When things were calm enough, I'd take him in the BabyBjorn (or one of my five other baby carriers) for a walk around Tahrir Square.
And then I burst my own bubble, ashamed to share the madness of this thinking with anybody.
The events in Egypt are riveting. And it's not just that these are days of history in the making. It's not just that we are watching the heretofore givens of the Middle East change before our very eyes.
For me, it's also personal. I've probably been to Egypt, both as a journalist and a tourist, at least a dozen times in my life, starting with a trip I took while in college 20 years ago.
Cairo is a city I know well enough to feel comfortable reporting in, even in the middle of a revolution. Colleagues I have known for years are there. And it's not that far from Jerusalem, so it genuinely feels odd not to be covering the uprising next door.
But there's a good reason I'm not, and his name is Eli. He gives me a big silly smile every morning that melts my heart and puts my priorities in order. He's changed my life.
Technically, I could still go to Egypt to cover The Story. I have a fabulously supportive husband and as of this week, part-time help so I can do my work as a writer, editor and lecturer. But leaving Jerusalem for Cairo would probably mean an abrupt, unhealthy end to breast-feeding – because baby would obviously not be going with me. That would cause copious amounts of guilt and suffering, and what's the point? The revolution doesn't need me. In short, I couldn't part with my baby for a full week, or even a full day. I have difficulty walking out the door and leaving him with a babysitter for two or three hours, for Pete's sake. Read more…

Hyper-V R2 and Dynamic Memory in Depth
Jun 11th
If you are curious about how Dynamic Memory (DM) is implemented in Hyper-V R2 SP1, go and take a look at Ben Armstrong's presentation at TechEd 2010 US.
Expect a public beta of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 towards the end of July. I can tell you it is a very well architected implementation of Dynamic Memory.
Ben explains how DM works under the covers and what you can expect from SP1.
Adding memory is implemented by a Synthetic Memory Driver (VSP/VSC Pair) which requires an update of the Hyper-V Integrations in the guest partition before it can use DM.
Supported guest operating systems:
Windows Server 2003 (32-bit & 64bit)
Windows Server 2008 (32-bit & 64bit)
Windows Server 2008 R2
Widows Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit & 64-bit only)
Enterprise and Ultimate Editions only
The new memory feature is clearly what it says: Dynamic Memory and NOT Memory Overcommit.
Memory Overcommit means Memory Oversubscription means Paging to the disk means Bad Performance
DM treats memory like Hyper-V treats CPU resources: as a dynamically schedulable resource.
So oversubscribing, NOT overcommitting.
New in SP1 too is the ability to protect the memory Root Reserve. By means of a registry key static memory can be set to reserve memory for the parent partition. This memory cannot be grabbed by guest partitions.
Ben also explains a new NUMA setting in the configuration of SP1 guest partitions.

Processo Alla Tappa
Here's everything you need to know about the Giro d'Italia, in three easy minutes.
In truth it's a tribute to Sergio Zavoli, a truly great journalist and broadcaster from the 1960s. Aided and abetted by the likes of Gimondi and Motta, he was instrumental in the rinascimento of the sport here in the mid-Sixties.
Zavoli revolutionized the way the sport of cycling was televised. He spoke with the gregari and to their wives, to the mechanics and the old lags on the roadside. He asked them about their (usually meager) contracts, about their insecurities, hopes and dreams. He plonked himself on a motorbike and asked them questions as they rode. That was groundbreaking, and brilliant. But his true genius lay elsewhere. Zavoli's great virtue lay not in what he said, but in what they said to him. It was through Zavoli that cyclists, increasingly portrayed in the televisual age as tongue-tied, half-bred yokels, started to find their voice. To find their dignity…
Here's Zavoli, then, doing his thing at the 1966 Giro d'Italia. It's the penultimate stage to Vittorio Veneto, and he finds a kid riding his first Giro…
Zavoli: 'Is it emotional?'
Cyclist: 'A bit, yes'
Zavoli: 'How old are you?'
Cyclist: '25'
Zavoli: 'What do you do in your life?'
Cyclist: 'I was a bricklayer before.'
Zavoli: 'What do you think you'll earn by the end of this Giro?'
Cyclist: 'The most I can. I hope to finish the Giro and then we'll see'
Zavoli: 'Do you hope to make a living from riding your bike?'
Cyclist: 'I hope so at least'
Zavoli: 'Does it perhaps offer more security, though, the life of a bricklayer?'
Cyclist: 'No question it's more secure.'
Zavoli: 'Why are you riding a bike then?'
Cyclist: 'It's passion'
Zavoli: 'I wish you all the best… He goes off to retake his place at the back of the peloton, and best wishes to this number 59 at his first Giro d'Italia…'
The kid, it transpires, is one Lucillo Lievore, from nearby Breganze. Lievore catches up with him again later in the stage. It's raining, and he's riding alone. It's one of the most beautiful, sagacious things I think I've ever seen at a bike race. Lievore, you see, is Gino Bartali. He's Fausto Coppi and Ercole Baldini, Learco Guerra and Alfredo Binda.
He is Lucillo Lievore, a half-bred bricklayer from the Veneto, northern Italy's poorest region. And yet through Zavoli he too becomes a genius. He perfectly distils, in fourty memorable seconds, the racing cyclist's condition. Here's what it is…
Zavoli: 'A great satisfaction, eh, Lievore?'
Lievore: 'They're catching me'
Zavoli: 'No… You've still got fifteen minutes on the bunch'
Lievore: 'I don't believe you.'
Zavoli: 'I'm not lying, I guarantee you you've still got fifteen minutes on them'
Man on road: 'Come on Lievore, give it everything! You're riding the Giro d'Italia! Go hard Lievore! Give it everything! Go on Lievore!'
Zavoli: 'Do they give you more courage, these shouts from the fans?'
Lievore: 'Oh for sure.'
Zavoli: 'Listen Lievore, do you have a girlfriend?'
Lievore: 'No.'
Zavoli: 'Who do you dedicate this beautiful ride to?'
Lievore: 'To my parents and my team.'
Zavoli: 'Listen Lievore, do you feel better up ahead, or in the middle of the peloton?'
Lievore: 'In the middle of the group, no question.'
Zavoli: 'Well why have you escaped then?'
Lievore: 'It's like it is.'
'No, I can't talk anymore. You'll have to leave me alone. If not I'll start crying. They're going to catch me.'
Zavoli: 'They're not catching you! You've still got seven minutes. Courage…'
Lievore: 'Yeah but… there's a climb now.'
Zavoli: 'The climb's finished Lievore. Look, you've made the final sacrifice…'
Pietro Scandelli won the stage - by fifteen minutes.
Lucille Lievore was racing for second place. It's like it is.

Review: List Master Lite for iPad lets you create, manage, and share lists
The iPad is a perfect device for creating, tracking, and managing your lists. It's mobile, it's constantly connected for mobile syncing, and the interface is intuitive enough to make entry and editing a snap. So the List Master Lite app has a lot going for it; it's a free app that provides many of the same tools as the expensive productivity tools on the App Store. But does it do enough to provide a realistic alternative to those pricey apps?
When you first open List Master Lite, a handful of pop-ups will warn you about the trial … Read more

It's enough to make Demi Moore's luscious black locks stand on end. The photos of her ex romping around Rome with Mila Kunis just keep coming. The latest batch shows the couple eating dinner at the romantic restaurant Checchino. Kunis reportedly even used his signature "Newsies"-style hipster hat as a paparazzi shield so they could steal a few kisses.
It's not the first shot of the lovebirds getting cozy in the Eternal City, where she's shooting the movie "The Third Person." The 34-year-old "Two and a Half Men" star and the 29-year-old "Sexiest Woman Alive" had already been spotted strolling hand in hand, sharing amorous meals and smooching on a charming cobblestone street. It's all just part of their world tour of public displays of affection, which has included indiscreet lip locking at the wrap party for his Steve Jobs biopic in Los Angeles and a similar showing in New York City's Central Park.
It's been just over a year since Kutcher and Moore announced that they were calling it quits but the former power couple isn't legally divorced yet. And she's probably not the only one who'd like to shout out to Kutcher and Kunis to get a room. What do you think: Should they dial back on the PDA?

The Twins have had a reputation for protecting their starting pitchers for many years and their method of choice for accomplishing this is to limit the number of pitches that their starters throw in a game. The Twins are not alone in counting pitches, all teams do it these days and a 100 pitch per game seems to be the "gold standard" that most teams follow.
Before pitch counts started to become prominent
In the Twins 53 year history, 27 different Twins players have gotten five or or more hits in a game but only nine players have done this more then once.
Kirby Puckett did it six times and in two of those occurrences he had six hits in a game. Puckett remains the only Twins player to get more then 5 hits in a game.
Joe Mauer and Rod Carew each have had five 5 hit games wearing a Twins uni.
Tony Oliva accomplished the feat four times.

Wilson will probably be in the Anderson or Spartanburg jail until assigned to a prison.
The Judge painted Wilson as a man that preyed on the elderly and who was cruel, heartless and without conscience. She also said Wilson's crime was one of the most significant incidences in our state.
Any profit made by any person or institution will need to be paid back to the receiver. For instance, it is established that Joey Preston made a $400,000 profit and he will have to turn that amount over to the receiver.
About $10,000,000 was paid by Wilson as incentives paid to investors for bringing in new money. All that must be paid back to receiver.
Wilson's mansion and the farm are for sale including all Wilson's assets as vehicles, tractors, etc.

-- -- -- Well the hotel industry is seeing resilience -- growth according to my next guest expects that growth continue throughout the rest.
Of the coming year.
Joining me now for this week's on the road is Thorsten -- Scott is the president of Radisson America's great yeah thank you thing we all know the name Radisson but -- Radisson.
Medicines doing fine we are in the midst of our transformation.
Strategy -- -- -- 2015.
You in the Americas and globally we're launching -- -- -- true upper upscale.
Segment play so we're making great progress on on strategy.
Your parent company is Carlson and Carlson overall had a very strong 2011 in fact the industry overall -- -- a big boost it seems -- it's in the business traveler.
Though not the vacation -- the average retail consumer -- that's been boosting the numbers is that the case.
That's correct we've seen now since a couple of months to almost two quarter is that business travelers back.
The corporation see the value in doing business again face to face meeting with their counterparts.
And that's obviously a good stimulation of our business.
Connection with that we also know that construction of new supply has been stagnating for reasons of financing -- projects.
So all in all business travelers back occupancy levels fell back and more importantly he's an average rate crisis come back.
So you're saying prices -- go up across.
The industry but also for for Radisson -- volatile I think you'd actually just recently commissioned the survey I'm curious what you thought about it because I think about a surprise you what you found any -- for the survey.
40% of Americans are saying that they're not even taking all their vacation days that would be bad news for rats and Clinton.
Well I'm I'm not so sure -- of course have an obligation as a -- -- travel and hospitality company to know when to anticipate that changing.
And delusional.
The vacationers and the travelers in this country and abroad.
So debt has made us commission that's sort of the end of last year.
And the outcome was amazing indeed have to say half of the population not taking medication.
And looking at many other ways all thanks to overcoming gold.
Substituting for that and.
Bullish -- prices building up a little bit -- that's why aren't there any guide -- that the business traveler there ain't got.
Brett -- Kursk president Radisson great to have you mentioned -- thank you removing.

WTF? lol what I see is with the same overclock of 1ghz there is a good chance the FX8350 would perform better...I wonder if a certain review site was trying to show a certain brand performing better
I linked above to a tool by Baldur, whom is part of the CryTek staff in the UK studio, that auto generates an autoexec.cfg file and has a GUI taking you through the most common tweaks for performance. http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=56955
how come I get Worst performance using my gtx670 in SLI than in single config for crysis 3 ? (I'm usin the 313.96 drivers)
Monitor your GPU usage per card while playing. MSI Afterburner can do it. If it's low on both cards or high one and low on the other, you may be having CPU to GPU latency issues. The app Timer Resolution mentioned earlier can hlep with this. http://www.lucashale.com/timer-resolution/
Ok I fixed it... (by the way I cannot see my GPU usage cause I use the K-BOOST feature from Precision x) I usually set my 2nd card to be the dedicated physx card (cause it tends to be the cooler card)... I put it BACK TO "auto-select" and my FPS doubled in crysis 3... !? dunno what happened
Pffft, no wonder, that makes your prior statement claiming you were running SLI inaccurate, because both cards need to be setup for graphics rendering to run SLI. Using one for PhysX nullifies that. Besides, high end current gen Nvidia cards can do PhysX AND rendering, there's no reason to use one just for PhysX. That said, personally I would never use an app that doesn't let you monitor GPU usage. You may be able to run GPU-Z alongside it and get a rough idea, but it won't show onscreen while the game is playing like Afterburner can.
I'm having an odd problem where my first gpu is topping out at 90% usage and I've lost 5fps. No setting or driver has changed. And no the timer thing doesn't help, it wouldn't anyway since this is a recent problem. I tried reinstalling the game, I guess I'll have to cleanout and redo the driver next. Only seems to effect Crysis 3 though.
Well I was hoping that the latest Beta driver would allow me to utilize two GPU's as I was able to before they patched the game a couple days ago. Here is what I saw last night while playing as far as GPU utilization:
I will definitely say Crysis 3 on nearly every level is better then Crysis 2. Graphics, Story, Gameplay, all of it. I am maxing it out with SMAA i think I chose at high everything else on VERY HIGH at 1920 x 1200, getting i think around 40fps(Havent checked) but runs very smooth, and with my 680 on water, never gets higher then 45c temps. Anyone trying to get AA to work on the grass, you need to enable Antialiasing - Transparency in your Nvidia Control Panel im pretty sure. EDIT: @HammerON Ill get some real FPS numbers for you guys tomorrow night. The Stalkers are annoying, especially when your out in the tall grass, I want to be ontop of the broken train cars so I can see shit lol.
Oh trust me, there are places you can be where they just rummage around below you acting stupid or scared. The physics of the terrain and bushes is odd too. There are many places I've gotten stuck, and with no checkpoint reload, you have to quit then resume, annoying. There's lots of bushes that are like big rocks, you can't pass through them and when you get on top of them they are solid. Got stuck in the opening at the end of one of those wrecked train cars where a bush was covering the bottom half of it. Bad enough the gameplay is so linear, but the terrain makes it even more so. There's also a lot of places you can't platform onto, despite being no higher than those you can. I miss the old CryTek stuff. In Far Cry 1 you could really roam without invisible walls, and even when you got to a good snipe spot that way, the enemies would still react well if you went loud.
They should remake the original Crysis with the new engine for PC. Maybe have a few adjustments to perfect the original as it was the by far the best out of them all. Along the way including new weapons or making maps bigger etc.
That appears to have worked with MSAA. I don't think it functions with the other AA options (my fps stayed the same.) Nuked performance with 8x msaa + 8x ss. I'd need Titan quad SLI to run like that.
Downloaded the file. It appears to have a password to it. And nowhere is it told that it would be password protected.. Great. EDIT: I'll buy a new graphics card anyway, I want to play it..
I had no idea I could, but with the spacebar you can jump in one jump on top for the trainwrecks in the middel of those grassy areas with alien insects.
Can't believe how hard it is to achieve a solid 60fps in crysis 3 with everything maxed out with my current specs... I'm still tryin to figure out if it's just the game eating my GPUs alive or if it's badly optimized... I mean, shouldn't I be able to play this maxed with 2x670 directcu ii 2gb ? For the others out here tryin to get a fluid 60 fps in this game, here are my findings up to now: The 2 most TAXING settings are the AA and the Shadows. Especially if you put TXAA on. After these 2, you'll want to consider lowering "particles" and "post-processing" as they are the two other most Taxing settings... The more I play this game, the more I see that something in the optimization is wrong.
^^^, and when I tested it that way, I got it to unzip. It's worth a shot, at least until you can get a DX11 card. A neighbor of mine will be trying it on his 9800GT sys as soon as he clears enough HDD space. I'll report back on how well it works. @jonathan, Are you checking your GPU usage? Some have reported low usage on each card or low on one and high on another. Timer Resolution can improve CPU to GPU latency and help raise GPU usage in such cases.
Not understanding that. I'm getting 99% on both gpu's. Occasionally one gpu doesn't work but if I alt-tab (had to do that in the past with 2 5850's playing L4D) it brings the second one on straight away. I'm using 13.2 beta 6 and Origin plus Crysis 3 both patched and up to date.
Honestly, I don't mind that Crysis 3 is linear, the last FPS ive played that wasn't linear was Far Cry 3. With an FPS i come to expect it to be linear to be honest, kind of what the FPS genre has been known for lately. One thing wish, was that there wasn't so many invisible walls though for Crysis. there are so many perfect areas to go to get around the enemy all stealthy.
That's actually what I was referring to more than linear objective gameplay. There's a lot of maps that have the appearance at first of having many possible routes and vantage points to use, only to find they are littered with invisible walls, terrain you can get stuck in, etc. If you try and play it with any freedom of roaming, it quickly becomes a very clumsy, restrictive feeling game. They may as well just highlight a pathway on the ground and tell you it has to be followed diligently.
This fixes the shitty slow motion grass. Add it to an autoexec. e_MergedMeshesInstanceDist = 100 After setting it load a save then leave and close the game. For some reason this setting doesn't work right the first time you enter the game with it. You could probably get away with a lower setting (20-50) if you're not picky. Hits the cpu more. That timer app finally does something for me with this. Trying too hard to find a problem. You can throw an ivy to 5 ghz too.

How we connect courses to community partners: 1. Identify courses that could have student learning goals enhanced through community-based learning. 2. Identify community partners, projects, and/or specific positions in the community that would match appropriately. 3. Contact the faculty to discern if they too think community-based learning would enhance their student's learning and experiences for that course. 4. Provide faculty with some initial ideas on community partners that have identified a need(s) relevant to the course subject and learning goals that would conducive to a mutually beneficial relationship. 5. Contact you, the community partner, to see if the course content, learning goals, class timing and expectations of the students are in congruence with what you need, what the populations you serve need, and if you have the interest and capacity to take on community-based learners. 6. Connect all participants through our database Expo
As we prepare for each academic quarter, the office of Community-Based Learning and Research is in close communication with faculty members who are interested in incorporating community-based learning into their curriculum. Depending on the faculty member's preference, community-based learning can either be an optional or required component of their class and can vary in assignment to complete 15-40 hours. As these classes are confirmed, they are posted under CBLR Courses. If you see a class that seems like a good fit, you have questions about, or you are interested in being matched with, please contact our office and we can talk more in detail about that potential connection. Some faculty might be more interested in working with community partners if you identify the course and express to them the connections you feel can be made. If you have time for more intensive research on what courses are coming up feel free to check out our campus wide schedule of upcoming courses. You may see connections and opportunities we might not.
