Remember the name... Lizzie Armitstead, Otley's silver bullet
7:00am Monday 30th July 2012 in Sport By Sports Desk
Lizzie Armitstead had cause for a double celebration - not only did she manage to win Great Britain's first Olympic medal at London 2012 but she secured her place as a pub quiz question for decades to come.
Armitstead got her tactics spot on but unfortunately Marianne Vos, a rider so powerful you think she might be fitted with an engine, had just too much gas.
However, it was still a stunning performance from a rider who has transferred her skills from track to road effortlessly.
As she crossed the line her head slumped, not in defeat but in total exhaustion.
"I don't know what to say," she said. "Coming across that line was like nothing I've ever felt before. I am a bit shocked to have got a medal.
"It might sink in eventually but right now, it's just all a bit of a blur. I knew I could be competitive but I also knew how hard it was going to be."
Armitstead often moans that no-one knows how to spell her name. It's been Armistead, Armistead and Armitage. One Indian newspaper during the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, when she also won silver in very different conditions, even called her Lizzie Armstrong.
But no-one will be spelling her name wrong now and the best cycling legend Lance could ever manage was Olympic bronze.
It's also an irony that it was Britain's women's road race team that brought home the medal. In the weeks before the Games everyone was praising the men's team and their slavish loyalty and commitment to the cause of leader Mark Cavendish.
In contrast, the women's team was in disarray, with reports of friction between Armitstead and Beijing gold medallist Nicole Cooke. But Team GB got their tactics spot on in a race that was much more entertaining to watch than Cavendish and co's performance 24 hours earlier.
Emma Pooley put in a tremendous shift as the riders made two ascents of Box Hill while Lucy Martin and even Cooke played their part as well in often appalling conditions.
"It was an awesome performance from my team-mates, Emma did exactly what was asked of her and that's a great debt I owe her," added Armitstead.
"We discussed what might happen before the race and it played out that way. I got myself into a break but Vos was always going to be dangerous and I knew that before we started.
"The support from the crowd was absolutely amazing, it's so special to have those people screaming your name.
"I've never experienced anything like that before. I couldn't even feel my legs at the end, I was just racing to the noise, it was incredible."
After the disappointment of Cavendish, Armitstead's victory gave boost to the British cycling team, of whom so much is expected at these Games. And while it wasn't the all important first gold, it was a medal team officials will hope can build momentum.
"She ran the perfect race, in the end she just did not have the legs to beat Vos at the finish," said performance director David Brailsford.
"Lizzie deserves so much credit for how she raced though, she has worked so hard for so many years.
"We wanted to start off strongly after the disappointment of the men's race, and we've come back with a bang. Absolute credit to the team for how they raced because they made it happen.
"The nature of the women's race is different to the men's in various ways. Lizzie took a risk and it paid off, so well played to her for doing that.
"The girls did it in the rain as well which is incredible, those conditions would be tough for anyone."

TesTeq - Follow me on Twitter - BIZNES BEZ STRESU (blog in Polish)
Sure. Me too. It's just that, from the current 2000 projects list currently on my OF, I believe many (really many), will disappear with time, because we evolve and so does our way of being happy. And new stuff appears all the time. So collecting is good per se, the accomplishment is just a by-product.
"Your old belongings can sometimes be in the way of new better belongings." Chinese proverb
Is that good? I say that's good only if it is. If those projects have a good ratio between time invested/joy of doing/joy from consequences of doing, then that's good. But if you value the completion itself too much, like "I want to get rid of this list because it's starring at me saying I can't be a good person with so many uncompleted things", than maybe the right order of the concept of achievement is reversed. Many projects should be left uncompleted if one is to optimize her existence.
I like to compare this to book reading. Say you read around 20 books per year. If you live 60 reading years, you will read about 1200 books in your life. And that's it! Well, I believe there are 1200 written masterpieces that are really excellent and I will love to read. I believe there are! This means that whenever I'm reading a book that is boring or not that excellent, I think that I just made a bad choice, and replace it quickly. Finishing the book is NOT the point (given a few technical exceptions). It's the joy of reading. The same for projects. If it's other than great, maybe I just move on to a better one and forget the next-action-GTD-completing-machine because completing many is not the point. It's completing the BEST ones. All the time! And all the time new best-ones-to-be arrive. Letting go is the key to real freedom. GTD can really get you that freedom, unless you lock yourself in the "complete many" treadmill, hoping it will get you the life you want when you finish them.
Many of my clients are just waiting for the day they can have a really relax great life, so they want a completing machine that can take them there. But the thing is: they are already there! But they don't see it. They believe in a promised land of tranquility and relax, and they stress themselves up with GTD-completing-machine-optimization and live in hell running all the way so they can get to the desired life. So they never do. Because that relax is inside themselves, is not an outcome that will result from 35 projects completed each month...
Trying to do too much may be clearly possible with GTD as well. Specially if you don't get clear about the perspective horizons (which should let you know easily what to let go...).
(sorry for such long reply)
Gonçalo Gil Mata
I've clipped out a lot to address just the points I want to comment on:
Actually in my case hardly any projects ever really disappear. Life does change, the details of the projects may change a bit but the core ideas/needs haven't changed much in over 50 years. So I like having the large population of stuff available. In farming many things you do cover generations so it's not unreasonable to have a project that spans several decades or even several lifetimes.
Book reading was probably not the best example to use for me I do track my books read and I typically read around 100 a year or so. However I do agree that I can dump books that I am not interested in part way through if I decide to. I rarely do that, kindle's get samples has allowed me to winnow hundreds of books off the possible read list quickly and only save to my wish list those that are worth a second look.
For me the great life is now. I am living the dream, to quote a tweeting farming friend of mine from the UK. Sure it's hard work and can be heartbreaking (He was trying to dig sheep out of a blizzard and also dead ponies on Snowdonia this spring) but it is also rewarding. GTD supports my life as it is and it's the life I want to live. Completing projects that are important to me is part of what makes this a great life so GTD supports me.

This thread contains a lot that I agree with wholeheartedly! And I would like to continue with some observations and questions. Varying the review frequency really is a key factor to having peace of mind.
I stumbled into this forum only yesterday, into a thread (GTD 2.0) where I did not feel at all feel comfortable with the overall tendency to partly reintroduce classical time planning elements and classical priorities. Not having seen this present thread yet, I responded over there, trying to advocate a differentiation in review frequencies instead: http://www.davidco.com/forum/showthr...891#post109891
But here in this thread it seems that almost everyone is already into this type of differentiation in one form or another, and I would like to follow up with some questions and thoughts. We are all probably using different software, and similar things can have different names, so please bear with me.
I get the impression that many of you use "review timers" individually set up for each project. Does your software have special review timers, or are you using the regular Tickler functionality (usually called Start date or Scheduled date in most apps)?
It would seem to me that some of the things being referred to in this thread, e.g. reviewing certain things annually before the harvesting season, actually ARE regular Tickler items, or am I missing something? I mean, these particular kinds of reviews are actually triggered by a certain external condition that is expected to be present on that date.
As for the regular "interval reviews", those that are not brought about by any particular factor at any particular time, but which we do at certain intervals just to keep our lists up to date and make sure we do not miss anything, do you use individual timers for each project there as well? I get the impression that many here do, and maybe that is good, but I am not quite sure why.
I am curious whether anyone does it like I do it, and can help me compare the benefits of the two methods.
My method is to "mark" different projects (and single actions) for different review frequencies. I have a High, Normal and Low level for each type of list. Depending in what features the particular software has, I would use its Tags, Labels, Contexts, Priority or some similar mechanism to do this review frequency marking.
Then at certain intervals I have Tickler items popping up to do a review of type X, and then I know exactly where to look. I even do spontaneous reviews whenever I feel like it, in those cases usually looking only at the things marked for "High" review frequency.
For example, in Someday/Maybe, I usually have some very tempting things, but which I feel may be too risky (that's why they are not in Next), that I want to contemplate as often as possible. Having these marked as "High" allows me to find them very quickly. Similarly, in Next, the High items in there I look at every single time that I even look at the list, much more than just once a day.
The Normal frequency items I review at the standard GTD intervals. The Low frequency items I review only more seldom, which saves me a lot of time.
I have found that my choice of a frequency setting correlates very much with the fuzzy general definition of priority as "important, urgent or whatever makes you feel excited or anxious about this thing". So I prefer to use the Priority field in those apps that have one, especially if it is in color.
Being overwhelmed
You can blame your boss, your wife or even yourself for having to much commitments. But I don't think it's fair to blame the way (methodology, system) you handle those commitments. GTD was designed for doing great things. Not for doing everything.
GTD is a start
On the other hand, I agree GTD needs some revision, or at least there is something missing. The basic rules are alive and kicking and still very true. But especially when I have to translate those basics into everyday life, I keep running into the brick wall of apps and (web)services that don't quite help me across. All products seem to be inspired by the basics. But it takes more than just some basics to actually make it work. I really feel there is something missing. So I see GTD (the book) as a start.
Priorities and reviewing
Whatever way you use to review your projects and actions, I don't think there is a wrong or right way. David Allen's advice is to be properly engaged with your commitments. And what 'properly engaged' looks like is really up to you.
My software has both types of timers. The review frequency is separate from the start or due date. I use both types depending on my needs for that particular project.
A Someday/Maybe project that is a perhaps this lifetime may have a review frequency of once a year and no start or due date. A project on handling monthly financial inputs may have a review frequency of every week (because things may be due during the month) a repeat of every month and a due date of say the 15th of the month.
A project to vaccinate lambs will have a start date adjusted for each breeding season based on when the lambs are born. Once the rams go in with the ewes for breeding a whole lot of my recurring projects with start dates will get adjusted as they have to happen a certain number of days after breeding or lambing. They also have due dates that work off that as well. Some are cascading dates, i.e. I may have a project to vaccinate early lambs. Based on when the sheep were bred I know that the early lambs will be born within a certain timeframe (start and end dates for that batch of lambs). But until they are born I won't know exactly what those dates really are. I do have flock average gestation dates but it can vary from year to year based on weather, condition and food quality. I have to vaccinate no earlier than a certain number of weeks after birth but there is a range of time after that which is ok. S I set the vaccinate start date based on when the last early lamb is born. We then have some variable amount of time when the shots can be given. What day we actually do it is weather dependent. Once we actually give the vaccinations then I have to set the second shot date. New lambs typically require 2 shots a specific number of days apart. So once I know the day we really gave the first shot I can set the rolling dates for the second shot. Again it must be a minimum of a certain number of days from the first shot and no later than a certain number of days after or I have to start over. The actual timing varies depending on what vaccine we use so I can't set them up ahead of time because until I buy the vaccine for the year I don't know the actual timings. The vaccine we use may depend on what is available or the disease risks per our vet based on perhaps new diseases appearing or old ones disappearing. Plus some vaccines have an initial series that is 3 shots so I may have to add another set of timings if that is the vaccine we use. That is why vaccinate lambs is a major project with a lot of detail. I have it set to start at the approximate time lambing starts and once it's starts I review it weekly. But once the lambs re vaccinated for the year, at my next weekly review I set the new start date to when I expect to have the rams in (so I can reset the start date based on that) and also the review time goes to once a month or even once every 3 months.
There are lots of projects like that on a farm. Once I've done the hard thinking about them I try to save that thinking and re-use it as much as possible next year. No sense reinventing the wheel so to speak.
Omnifocus is very flexible that way and very useful for managing my complex range of recurring projects.

Thanks Oogiem,
Your descriptions are so very clear and vivid and easy to understand!
May I ask (a bit off-topic for this thread, but not for GTD): How do you manage to keep a clear head concerning which of all these projects are related to which, and will need to have their timers tuned when there is a delay somewhere? Does your software (Omnifocus) have features for linking projects (making them relative to each other in some way), or does it all come down to keeping all this in your head or documented in checklists etc?
I understand Omnifocus is probably the best software around. Unfortunately, I have not been able to try it, because I use Windows, so I have been using apps like Nirvana, Doit, Toodledo, RTM and several others. I started with Outlook about 15 years ago. These usually have a start date and a due date, but no review date.
The way I understand it, the vast majority of the actions you are referring to would be ticklers (using the start date), so those I could manage even with software that does not have a separate review timer.
For those reviews that aren't anywhere close to being ticklers, though, just regular "interval reviews", unrelated to everything around you, do you still use individual timers for each project, or do you use a "review interval classification" approach more like mine, where I have applied a tag (or priority etc) to everything, and just use recurring ticklers as a general prompt to review certain "classes" of items, which I then go and look for in my lists?
I imagine, if you have a review timer in your software, then maybe you find it easier and more consistent (similar principle) to set up a timer for those "interval reviews" as well than it would be to apply a classification tag etc, or do you use both methods in parallel, for different kinds of things?
I like the discussion here - very well focused around methodology and GTD. And thanks again for the explanations.
Omnifocus has a system for sub-projects but I don't use that. Instead within the projects that have wait points for other projects I have a next action of waiting for task x of project y to be completed with a context of waiting for. Reason is that in OF only the next action of a project is called that and I often work on these groups of projects in parallel.
OF has a separate review period for each project. Reviews and ticklers (make active or available) are totally separate. OF does not have tags and I do not like using the one priority flag they do have for stuff as it's cluttered and when things change, which they always do, it's inaccurate or takes a lot of time to keep updated.
I do use both start and due dates and review periods as required. Some projects have both and some do not. It is complex but the thinking about the structure only really happens once for those recurring projects so not too onerous to maintain.

Thanks for explaining.
I am both disappointed and relieved to learn that even the great Omnifocus has its limitations - at least now I know I do not need to rush out and get myself a Mac just to get some decent software.
Yes, those strictly sequential projects really are a pain. I am using Nirvana, a beautiful and well-made app overall, which has that exact same silly setup for projects. It is sad, because it would seem like such a simple thing to fix. Instead of having the two project types (parallel and sequential, both of them imperfect; and confusing to many new users) they could simply have a single project type with a sequential section within a parallel main section (the sequential one feeding into the parallel one when that gets empty). That would have the merits of both, plus allow you to have more than just one current action right now. (And it could be refined even further, of course).
We are all ultimately limited by the limitations of our software.

Pretty good scooter. The brakes don't work well. It's hard to stop - especially for small kids. I think it's pretty safe for kids 7 and up. I would definately supervise kids younger than that, and don't go down hills. You can't get it to stop. I would reccomend this to a person that likes to joy ride and with older kids.

toys r us return policy is awful
By busy mom
from Philadelphia Pa
Comments about Razor A Kick Scooter - Blue:
The scooter was fine. I just wanted to return the scooter and purchase the latest razor scooter. And the toy r us return policy is horrible I took the scooter to the store for a return and had to wait for a hour because CST service couldn't figure out why with me giving them my recipient that the scooter still didn't come up. Than the CST service person that waited on me told me she couldn't get me my money back because the item wouldn't come up. But I have a receipt for the scooter she was very rude! She asked me 3 times if I wanted a store credit but I refused because I won't ever shop at toy r us again the way I was treated an the inconvenience I was put though I will never shop here again! Finally after a manager came he gave me my money back. But I will not shop at toy r us never again I'm so disappointed.

Do not purchase protection plan!!!!
By Mom
from Ca
Product only good for about 3-6 months. Locking and unlocking systems wears out and product will not close. Pieces began to fall off. This is from using the product once a week for 20 mins by a child with the specifications between February and May. Prior only used once or twice a month since previous May.If item was purchased on sale you will still be charged full price for the protection plan. The protection plan online system will not accept the sale price if the price is less than price range you paid for. You will not be able to replace your item if it stops working correctly or if it is defective because it is not on sale anymore.Do not purchase replacement plan unless the item is full price not worth your time or money. You end up with store credit and no way to replace item and you paid extra money for the plan.

Virginia Tech Carilion neurorehabilitation research offers hope to children with cerebral palsy
For many years, cerebral palsy was considered incurable and permanent, with only limited opportunities to teach children to live with their disabilities. Researchers led by Sharon Ramey and Stephanie DeLuca have pioneered the use of a therapeutic intervention for children with cerebral palsy that was first developed for adult stroke patients. The therapy results in a dramatic functional recovery of the impaired side of the brain and a persistent recovery – for many months and even years after the therapy – of control of the impaired side of the body.

Air Lamborghini (11 of 12)
A rich Middle Eastern magnate believed to be a Sheikh flew his brand new Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 on a 6,500 mile roundtrip from Qatar to London just for an oil change the other day. The London Sun reports that the 640 h.p., $380,000 supercar - the same model as the one driven by Batman in The Dark Knight - painted black and gold arrived at Heathrow in the cargo hold of a Qatar Airways jet and was taken to a Lamborghini specialist in London for servicing, adding $7,000 to the estimated $40,000 cost of the flight. News of the resource-wasting trip drew the ire of environmental groups, including Friends of the Earth's Richard Dyer who told the paper that "Flying a car thousands of miles for a service is ludicrous when planes are one of the most polluting ways to transport goods." However, David Price of the Lamborghini Club UK insisted, "If an owner wants to service his car in that way, it is his choice. Thankfully the age of excess in some areas continues." 17/09/08

Matex was incorporated on 30 September 1989 in Singapore and we started our operation in the name of Matex Specialty Chemicals Pte Ltd under the stewardship of Dr Alex Tan Pang Kee. Our principal activities include manufacturing, formulation and sale of specialty chemicals focusing on dyestuffs and auxiliaries for the textile industry.
Between 1989 and 1998, we took many initiatives to go regional and increase our market presence in several overseas markets. We established subsidiaries, distributors and agents spanning across Asia and Europe, including the PRC, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Myanmar, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Syria, Egypt, North Africa, Portugal, UK, Turkey, Columbia and etc.
By 1992 we have a gained strong presence in the Singapore and Malaysia markets. Following the identification of the PRC to be our key market for growth, in 1993 Shanghai Matex Chemicals Co., Ltd ("SMC") was set up as a joint venture between our Company, Shanghai Pu Dong Tai Ya (a company owned by the Tang-Zheng Pudong Authorities in Shanghai) and Shenyang Research Institute of Chemical Industry ("SRICI") with interest of 60%, 25% and 15%, respectively. The primary focus of SMC is on the production and sales of reactive dyestuffs for both domestic and export markets. SMC has 12 sales offices servicing customers in Chengdu, Changshou, Changzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Jiangsu, Nantong, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenyang, Shijiazhuang, Wuhan, Wujin, Xiaoshan and Zhengzhou.
In 1997 Unimatex Sdn Bhd ("USB") was incorporated in Malaysia to further enhance our presence in Malaysia. Located in Ipoh, Malaysia, USB serves as our sales agent and distributor for the Malaysia market, servicing more than 60 Malaysian customers. In addition, USB formulates dyestuffs and auxiliaries to cater to our customers with special requirements as well as provides technical services to support them.
In 1998, Unimatex (Shenyang) Chemicals Industry Co.,Ltd ("USY") was incorporated in Shenyang,PRC as a 60% owned subsidiary to further increase our manufacturing capacity. Our local partners for USY are Mr Zhang Shixue, General Manager of USY, and SRICI with interestof 25% and 15% respectively. USY manufactures optical brightening agents and auxiliaries for both domestic and export markets of the PRC. USY was de-registered in 2008 as a result of government's acquisition of the land for re-development.
In 2003, Amly Chemicals Co., Ltd was incorporated in Taixing, PRC as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its principal activities manufacturing and sale of dyestuffs, auxiliaries and textile chemicals to augment our presence in the PRC for both domestic and export markets. Its plant was operational from 2006.
In 2004, Matex Chemicals (Taixing) Co., Ltd was established and located in a special chemical zone, approved by the central government of China for long term investments of chemical companies. Azo Noble, SNF and many other foreign chemical companies were present a few years ahead of Matex in this area, where the infrastructures, various facilities and proper central water and waste treatment plants were already in place in large scales to cope with further expansion.
To consolidate our operation in Singapore, we have constructed a new building at 15 Tuas View Square Singapore 637556.

Cued Speech Workshop success Editor, The Times: Thank you for the newspaper-cov-erage regarding the Cued Speech Workshop which was held during April at the LSU Medical Center under the sponsorship of the Mid-City Kiwanis Club, the Mollie E. Webb Speech and Hearing Center, Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology, LSU Medical Center-Shreveport. The workshop was attended by more than 100 people, many of whom are begin-ning to use Cued Speech in communica-tion with the deaf and hearing impaired. A group is meeting on Tuesday nights at the Mollie E. Webb Speech and Hearing Center to work on Cued Speech skills. This workshop marks the introduc-tion of Cued Speech into the Shreveport area. Cued Speech is a visually explicit phonetic communication system which facilitates lip reading through the use of eight hand cues in four vowel positions around the mouth. It is not a sign language, but a system which enables the deaf or hard of hearing person to accurately lip read each sound in each spoken word in combination with lip reading. It can be used by hearing impaired persons trained in either the aural-oral or total communication methods. The benefits to persons who have used Cued Speech have been numerous. These are a few of the advantages that have been reported: (1.) It takes the guess work out of lip reading. Because each sound can be clearly seen by the deaf person, they can accurately lip read what is being said. Even dialect accents are normally developed because the words are cued by each sound as you would pronounce the word. (2.) It aids in vocabulary acquisition. Vocabulary develops more rapidly because the deaf person can accurately see each word and identify it as would a hearing person — through normal ex-posure through a situation. (3.) It develops normal language pat-terns. Because each word can be ac-curately lip read, the deaf person learns more normal speech patterns including articles, pronouns, plurals, idioms, col-loquialism, etc. (4.) It aids in the development of reading skills. Because the cued speech system is based on phonetics, children learn to read more easily and have been found to function at or higher than their normal age/grade reading level. This is important since for a deaf person read-ing can be his "window on the world." It also aids in spelling skills for the same reason. (5.) It develops better lip readers. Research has been done which indicates that children who know Cued Speech can lip read more accurately even when cues are not used than "good" lip re-aders who do not know Cued Speech. Cued Speech has made important contributions to the communication skills and education of the hearing im-paired in the areas where it is in use. It is hoped that Shreveport will be one of those areas soon. Thanks again for the publicity. Many of the people who came learned about the workshop from the articles you ran in the paper.

Great Choice For My House
By The DJ
from Seattle, WA
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Blinds Steve's Exclusive Collection Wood Blinds 2" Slat 2" Distressed:
After ordering several samples from Steves finally chose the one above. Looks great in all 3 bedrooms and in my living room. I have somewhat of a rustic/lodge decor in my house and these blinds actually match my maple distressed hardwood floors perfectly. Service was excellent as well. The only one that takes some effort to retract is the living room one, but it is 95" wide and all on one rail so its my fault as they did suggest two rails but I did not want the "split" blinds.
Fantastic product
By Kalliegirl
from Spokane, WA
We love our blinds! I purchased a similar distressed finish at a local big box hardware store. Those did not work out for us, which is what sent me searching for something different and ordering from Steve's. Not only do our blinds from Steve's look better, I actually like the valance and the design of the pull cord a lot better. I'm a super happy customer and will be ordering these same blinds to cover 10 more windows in our house.

Free Shipping on most Blind OrdersMost blind orders include FREE Ground Shipping to your home or office in the continental United States. Some manufacturers charge an oversized freight charge per order (regardless of the number of blinds) on extra wide blinds because they must use a special delivery company. The width when oversized freight charges apply varies depending on the manufacturer (usually it is around 95 inches or wider) and the charge may be up to $75 per manufacturer per order.

Grand Bahama Junkaroo Festival
The Grand Bahama Junkaroo Summer Festival begins this July 7th and runs until July 28th. It's a fantastic time for visitors wishing to experience the island's culture to arrive. Over four weeks, a spectacle of multi-coloured parades, feel-good indigenous music and culture fill the streets. It's an important time in the Bahamian calendar, when thousands of islanders dress up in specially made costumes and masks to celebrate the centuries-old festival.
Activities will centre on Taino Beach Park, a popular hub for the island festivals.
Junkaroo recognises the history of the slave trade in the Bahamas and is thought to have first began somewhere between the 16th and 17th centuries. It was around that time that slaves were granted 3 days off: December 25th and 26th, and January 1st. In a celebration of freedom from the shackles of hard labour, the island's slaves poured onto the streets to blow off steam.
Rhythmic beats from goatskin drums fill the atmosphere in commemoration of the slaves who once stretched goatskin across specially crafted drums. Historically, the slaves made musical instruments like drums from cast-off items like food containers. Today's musicians, in honour of their ancestors, use similar methods.
Due to popularity, the festival has since grown to include summer vacation months. During this time, hoards of celebrants take to the streets in wild oceans of colour that have been compared to Brazil's Mardi Gras.
The event is Co-ordinated by the Ministry of Tourism and Aviation, and is widely attended by the local population and enthralled tourists.

User: Darryl Mendonez, Dec 1, 2011
Pros: Great fit, good grip, perfect balance of protection and size
Cons: -
Fits perfectly
User: Joe Haun, Mar 10, 2011
Pros: Fits well & offers good protection. Durable
Cons: None
great case & holster
User: josh steinberg, Aug 25, 2010
This case is similar in style to the iPhone 3gs with upper and lower pieces which slide together to fit. The reason to get this case is to use it with the Seidio holster. It is the same style as Seidios other innocase holsters and just as good. Secure fit protects iPhone 4, clip is easy to work with a couple fingers, and the device easily goes in and out of the holster with one hand. I go running with it clipped to my hip daily, and I go to work with it there as well. Although it was a long wait, it was worth it as there is NOTHING else out there like this, and nothing this good. As a case alone, its not much different than other offerings. But as a case with a holster that clips it to your hip (or armband or whatever), its awesome.
iPhone 4 case not as good as the iPhone 3G
User: Michael McKenna, Apr 15, 2011
Pros: sleek
Cons: case seperates
case separates too easily after just a few weeks
User: Laurie Fox, Nov 8, 2011
This case became unusable after just a few weeks - it does not stay together.

Yeah, that's a really, really horrible graph. Really horrible. The information as presented is still mostly--
Dear god that that is a horrible graph. No, really. That's almost criminal use of statistics. The guy who made it should be slapped with a herring. Wait. That's from AnandTech? Oh, I see, now. They were never meant to be compared together. It's Anand's grand compilation of benchmarks in compare mode. Still... its a bad presentation.
Let's ignore the bars. They are dumb. The numbers are fine. The 560 is a strong card, which gets some strong benefits from its CUDA cores when handling textures. However, it is limited somewhat by its memory bandwidth and number of pipelines. As such, it does really well at "standard" resolutions, but it slows as the resolutions grows and its pipelines/shaders struggle to keep up with the increased screen size.
The 6950, on the other hand, is a very powerful card that lacks the parallel texture processing of the nVidia's Fermi architecture. It is really tuned for higher resolutions and levels of anti-aliasing. Notice how the increased resolution really doesn't impact the frame rate. You can really push loads of pixels through the card, but it gets stopped up a bit doing the texture work.
Now, the one missing piece of information here is the date. When the 6950 was originally released, I'm pretty sure AMD had a serious issue with their drivers that was crippling it in texture-heavy games, and particularly Civ V. Since then, the drivers have improved and the performance went up. I don't think that it will match the 560 Ti at 1680x1050 (the 560 is tuned for that resolution), but its going to be good enough. Would you really care about the difference between 60fps and 55fps?
To be honest, the cards are really pretty close, so close that you're not really going to notice a difference between them, even for other games. The 6950 does have the edge overall. Both can overclock, but they both overclock to similar levels, so there's no real advantage to either card there. The 6950 is selling for $230-$240. The 560 Ti seems to be selling for $220-240. Myself, I opted for the 560 Ti, due to the only two things that is really different: Heat and Noise. The 560 Ti is the cooler and quieter card pretty much across all models. However, I recognize that lots of people simply don't care about those things.

How do I use grid-overlay boundaries to prescribe fully developed flow profiles at inlets?
The art of successful simulation often boils down to choosing a reasonable computational domain and meaningful boundary conditions. Modeling a domain that is too large may increase the runtime unnecessarily. Setting boundary conditions to be as close to the correct physical situation as possible is also desirable.
Grid-overlay restarts help users design simulations, which accomplish both of these goals.
Grid-overlay restarts allow users to restart a simulation and specify boundaries that overlay the original solution as overlay boundary conditions. Boundaries selected as grid overlay pick up their boundary conditions from the previous solution. These conditions—pressures, temperatures, velocities, etc—are held constant for all time during the restart computation. Therefore, to be a meaningful boundary condition the flow in the previous simulation should be steady.
A good use of grid overlay restart might be a situation where fully developed pipe flow enters a domain. We'd prefer not to model the flow in the pipe, since it adds to the runtime. Instead, we would probably simulate the pipe flow until it is steady and then restart the simulation with only a portion of the pipe in the model. The boundary conditions for the overlaid boundary would retain the fully developed profile in the pipe.
How can I compare results from different simulations?
One of the goals of simulation is to compare results obtained when particular parameters are changed. An easy way to compare results of different simulations is to use the plot overlay option available in the FLOW-PLOT and PLTFSI display utilities. Users running on UNIX and LINUX platforms will have to use PLTFSI.
In either case the first step is to open a flsgrf results file from Results, Custom. It is fairly straightforward to compare time history plots, 1D and 2D spatial plots from the same results file, since they can be directly overlaid. To overlay the two plots using PLTFSI, enter D n+m where n and m represent the plot numbers. In FLOW-PLOT you must change the option in the Control Panel from "single" to "overlay," then click on the plots to be overlaid.
Comparing plots from two or more different flsgrf files requires an extra step. Let's say you'd like to compare the temperature history at a particular point in the domain. The simplest method is to first open an flsgrf file containing one set of results to be compared. In FLOW-PLOT, choose Files, Create, then open another flsgrf results file containing the other set of data using option 8 in PLTFSI or the Files, Open(Add) option in the Control Panel of FLOW-PLOT. This creates a combined plot file from which you can select members to be overlaid.
An alternative that is sometimes useful is to save the plots to be compared from one flsgrf results file to a temporary file. Then open the second results file and add to it the temporary file. This creates a smaller file to deal with. Of course, you could then select the plots to be compared in the combined file and save them to another temporary file. Continuing in this way it is possible to build up a file containing selected results from many separate flsgrf files.
A useful, but often overlooked feature in PLTFSI is the ability to specify the colors of individual plot lines. For example, you could set the line color for plot number 2 to red and plot number 3 to violet. To set plot attributes, enter option 10 (select plotting options), and then option 7 (select plot line attributes).

Yeah, Brian. Since you're homeless, why didn't you reach into all of your savings from not paying rent and buy the lighter instead? Thanks, Mooseturd, for delving into those nooks and crannies and pulling out the really important stuff that enables us to kick down at homeless folks. Very classy.

Devin, you forgot....thief and criminal first, homeless as a result of bad decisions and lack of respect for himself and the law.

For some, the only thing keeping them from homelessness is a working wife who's willing to support a loser husband who can't make his own way in the world, for rather obvious reasons that are easily inferred from your above post. I guess living off of one's wife in Pleasanton beats sleeping in Nebraska cornfields somewhere, right? You ought to know.
