You can see this result on that's the irony: the it2 really works well when data is all in-cache, or can somehow be prefetch+streamed so that cache misses don't happen. once you start missing, performance becomes unexceptional - you can easily see this by looking at SpecFP results. there, the it2's excellent scores is mainly due to extremely high results in the 2-3 very smallest benchmark components. around here, it's mainly serial monte-carlo jobs that are so small that they're always in-cache. so the "high-end" it2 (and expensive) is best suited for the lowest-end jobs...

It was Italy, who came into the match buoyant after victories over France and Scotland in their opening two matches, who opened the scoring on four minutes - fly-half Veronica Schiavon notching a fourth-minute penalty.
But Wales hit back and after fine work from their industrious pack, the visitors worked Edwards over the try-line in the 27th minute from a lineout deep in the Italy half.
Wales missed the conversion however and Italy retook the lead thanks to Schiavon's second penalty of the match but the visitors edged their noses ahead on the stroke of half-time.
In a similar move to their first try, Harries followed Edwards' example and crossed the whitewash after another excellent move by the Wales forwards from a lineout.
Again the conversion was missed however and Italy continued to carry the fight to their opposition and Schiavon reduced the gap to just one with her third penalty of the match just two minutes after the half-time interval.
Italy were unable to get themselves ahead however and Wales' led by four when scrum-half Laura Prosser knocked over a well struck penalty on 58 minutes.
The hosts were not willing to go quietly however and brought the scores to 13-12 when Schiavon scored her four penalty of the afternoon with 16 minutes left on the clock.
Prosser slotted her second penalty in the 78th minute and it was all hands to the pump as Italy hit back through a fifth penalty late on.
Resolute defence ensured Italy never got another sniff of any points as Wales registered their first win of the campaign to remain on course of qualifying automatically for next year's World Cup in France.

Dear All
I am currently obtaining permissions to reproduce maps for a forthcoming book on the history of world map-making, to be published by Penguin in September.
Bob Abramms at ODT Maps, who appear to hold copyright on the Aron Peters world map, asked for $860, when the average cost for most illustrations is around $120. When asked for a reduction based on the fact I have to stand the costs, he offered the map for $600 plus 100 free copies of my book!
This seems to be at best quite unprofessional, and at worst rapacious, especially from an organisation that claims to represent diversity and widening access to maps.
Does anyone have any similar experience, and/or advice on how to reproduce the map through any other route? I'd be very grateful!
Jerry Brotton

To those who expected Foster to announce publicly that she is gay, the speech was likely a disappointment. Certainly celebrity news opportunists like Harvey Levin and Perez Hilton were deleting hastily written posts for their websites when Foster said little more than "I'm single" as her big announcement. The subsequent outcry from some in the LGBTQ was perhaps far more surprising than Foster's refusal to publicly come out.
These award shows don't celebrate real women, or those who work to advance our interests. It's fine for a character in a movie to go against the norm in Hollywood, but when the actress who portrays her accepts an award wearing a low-cut dress, thus bowing to Hollywood convention, I put a little less stock in her ability to influence the perception of women or their roles in society.

By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
Defense and state attorneys in the Racial Justice Act hearing for three death- row inmates finished presenting evidence Wednesday in Cumberland County Superior Court and are to make closing arguments today.
Relatives of the defendants' five murder victims will get a chance to tell the judge, Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Greg Weeks, what they think of the defendants' requests to be removed from death row.
Their statements are likely to be angry. The parents of murdered Fayetteville Police Officer Roy Turner Jr. and relatives of murdered state Trooper Ed Lowry were so upset by testimony Wednesday morning from a civil rights activist that they left the courtroom.
"It was either that or explode," said Al Lowry, the brother of Ed Lowry. "It was intolerable."
Turner's father last week described the hearing as a waste of time. He said there was no racism in the death sentence given to Quintel Augustine for the murder. Augustine is black, as was Turner.
But Augustine's jury was all white, and that's where defense lawyers contend there was racism at his murder trial in 2002.
Fellow death-row inmates Tilmon Golphin and Christina Walters are making similar claims at this hearing, which started Oct. 1.
Golphin killed Ed Lowry and Cumberland County Deputy David Hathcock during a traffic stop in 1997. Golphin is black; Hathcock and Lowry were white.
Walters lead a gang that kidnapped and killed Tracy Lambert of Hope Mills and Susan Moore of Fayetteville when the women were on their way home from work in 1998. Walters is a Lumbee Indian; Lambert and Moore were white. A third victim in Walters' case, who was kidnapped and shot but survived, is black.
On Wednesday morning, lawyer and civil rights activist Bryan Stevenson of the Alabama-based Equal Justice Initiative testified.
Stevenson has studied racism and its effects in the criminal justice system and trains lawyers on how to prevent it.
He examined trial transcripts, prosecutors' hand-written notes from jury selection, and race statistics of the jurors that the prosecutors peremptorily struck from the Walters, Golphin and Augustine trials. He also reviewed testimony made at this hearing by retired prosecutors Margaret Buntie Russ and Cal Colyer.
"I saw a lot of evidence of race consciousness in the jury selection process," Stevenson said.
A 1986 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Batson vs. Kentucky, prohibits lawyers from considering a juror's race when deciding whether to peremptorily strike him.
In light of that ruling, a lawyer can object to the opposing side's peremptory juror strikes if he thinks the jurors were struck because of their race. The judge then asks for the reasons for the strikes and decides if the reasons are race-neutral.
If the judge does not believe the reasons are race-neutral or he doesn't believe the answers, even if they are stated to be race-neutral, the juror will stay.
Stevenson studied a training document that advises prosecutors on what to tell the judge when they are accused of a Batson violation. He found it "very problematic."
"It does not respond to serious concerns about racial bias, in my opinion," Stevenson said. "The very notion that we're trying to train around a Batson violation as opposed to training to eliminate racial bias is, I think, the heart of my concern."
The hearing resumes at 9:30 a.m. today in Room 4A of the Cumberland County Courthouse.

This post-marketing investigation will evaluate the functional knee performance of Subjects who have undergone primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Data from Subjects who receive one of four contemporary knee configurations from different manufacturers will be pooled to establish a contemporary dataset.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the functional performance as measured by the activities of daily living (ADL) sub-score of the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcomes Score (KOOS) patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire of primary TKA at minimum one year post-operation. This will be carried out for all four implant configurations. The final endpoint is a 2-year evaluation.

The KOOS is a patient self-administered questionnaire that consists of 42 questions. The KOOS consists of 5 subscales; pain, other symptoms, activities of daily living (ADL), sport and recreational function and knee-related quality of life. Each question has 5 Likert-like response options. A normalized score (100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms) is calculated for each subscale.

SCHERERVILLE — A northwest Indiana town plans to break ground on a Sept. 11 memorial on the eve of the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
The Times of Munster reports Schererville's memorial will include an I-beam from a World Trade Center tower. The 1,931-pound, 14-foot-long beam is 16 inches wide and 12 inches high. Schererville received the piece of slightly bent steel last Sept. 9.
Schererville Fire Chief Joseph Kruzan says town officials decided to have the event the night of Sept. 10 instead of Sept. 11 so more people will be available to attend the ceremony.
Schererville's 9/11 memorial committee wrote a letter to the Port Authority of New York after hearing other communities had been given pieces of the towers.

Hello! This is my first legit thread !
I'm a new comics artist, and illustrator still in the making and I'm opening
this sketchbook as means of self-improvement, the goal is to post something here daily-!
Since many times I can lack the inspiration on something original to draw just for the sake of trainning I guess I'll be doing lots of random stuff, fan art of characters that I enjoy and D&D things
I have a BAD habit of not using any reference when drawing, I should get off that soon. My main concern for the time being is backgrounds. I suck at them. That though, doesn't mean that I don't need to do
MASSIVE anatomy studies..
so, here I go with some stuff of these days around:
^I've been trying to make a panoramic of an abstract-looking underground ancient city for a background I need. UNFORTUNATELY I failed to save the progress on this file and the above stage is all I'm left with.
In any case, I found out that this needed too much detail and time, so it didn't fit my purposes.
^This one on the other hand is a more abstract approach but I'm still not satisfied with it. More searching needed
^a small lake made for the sake of... lake trainning. Not by any means completed but I think it served it's purpose. (the grass is actually a hair brush, lol)
^It's been a long time since I quick-colored a piece from grayscale, and shame on me for that. Anyway this piece was an enjoyable rendering trainning and nothing more
^Nothing much here, pencil to photoshop. I found out that I was unable to render the multiple clothing details of this piece directly in color so I gave up on it for the time being (the anatomy is also messed up)
Any kind of critic is *very* welcomed
I will be posting more today as I go on

LEGO The Hobbit Barrel Escape (79004) by
By Lego Dad
from Riverside CA
can't say it enough; this set is just plain awesome! Although it is small, it is packed with an incredable amount of detail, and is a perfect display piece. The variety of weapons and numerous bottles in the set also give it a more authentic feel, and enhanced playability. The minifigures are great, and three of them are exclusive to this set. As far as investment, I don't think you can go wrong with Barrel Escape. It is a Toys R Us and Lego Shop exclusive, and therefore, consumers must go the extra mile to obtain this exceptional set. I believe that because of the exclusitivy, the great minifigures, and the engaging build and display attributes, this set will be a reall winner

A boy's imagination is expanded as he puts together the Hobbit Barrel Escape by LEGO. Amongst the various Birthday gifts, the LEGO's barrels were out of the box and soon creating a scene from the Hobbit, which cries for a compliment grandpa, "Hey look what I made!" "Hey that is fantastic! You did a great job!"

Woman in sword alert
9:17am Saturday 19th May 2012 in News
A WOMAN who was carrying a fake sword she used in battle re-enactments was questioned by police in a York street – after a concerned member of the public told officers she was concealing a weapon.
Police swooped in the Melrosegate area of the city yesterday at about 10.25am after a worried local resident phoned police, telling them he had spotted the young woman with the sword wrapped in a cloth.
The woman was questioned by officers – but the sword was revealed to be a fake – used for "re-enacting battles," a spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said.
He said the woman had the relevant paperwork, checked over by an officer, and was using the sword replica for work purposes.
The force spokesman said the police carried out the "necessary checks" before driving the woman to York University to prevent any further "cause for concern".

Game-ready people, places, events, and landscapes from history and current events.
Hi! If you're reading this, odds are the campaign is over. But if you still want to get a copy of The GM's Real-World Reference, don't despair! Just click the 'contact us' link to the right, and we can set you up with the $8, $12, $19, $30, $300, or $1,500 reward tiers. And thanks!
The best gaming content is often inspired by the real world: real people, places, historical events, landscapes, buildings, cities, and cultures. The GM's Real-World Reference: Game-Ready People, Places, and Events is a resource designed to help the GM by providing one-page articles on awesome real-world things.
This isn't a compilation of historical events; everything in this book will be chosen based on how much fun it would be at your table. The articles themselves are written to get you the information you want without cluttering the page with details you'll never use.
The book will be in pdf format and illustrated with images in the public domain or under creative commons licenses.
The GM's Real-World Reference will be organized into four sections: landscapes (like the Bialowieza Forest, Son Doong Cave, and Glacial Lake Missoula); cities, towns, and buildings (like Shenzhen, Harlech, and the Erechtheion); people (like Procopius, Hildegard of Bingen, and Dian Fossey); and events (like the Nika Riots and the devolution of power in Carolingian France).
Each section will be contain thirty one-page articles. If we reach our first stretch goal ($3,800), we will expand each section to forty articles, bringing the book to 160 pages.
If we reach our second stretch goal ($4,700), we will add a section on ideas and cultures (like Spartiates vs. Helots and Kondratiev waves), bringing the book to 200 pages.
We hope you will enjoy the GM's Real-World Reference! Our different pledge levels have a variety of exciting rewards that we think you'll have fun with. Consider spreading the word about this book to your friends or gaming group.
And thanks.
-Joel Dalenberg and Tristan Zimmerman

We plan to make this whole process as transparent as possible. On the updates page, we've begun posting articles from the book and excerpts from the comedy rpgs available at the $30 reward level. All our backers will get a full expense report, so you know where your money is going. And we'll keep you up-to-date on our progress in writing the book. We hope that transparency will be a two-way street. We want to hear what you have to say about where we're going with this project. Are there rewards you'd like to see? Exciting ideas about the project? Let us know!
Sure! For the first writing sample, look here:
For the second, look here:
And for the third, look here:
And for the fourth and final one, look here:
Simply put, a Wiki Walk can be a really inefficient way to find awesome gaming material. If you know generally what you're looking for, it's great. However, it's usually a very slow and inefficient way to learn about completely new things. When the game is tomorrow and you realize that the entirety of your notes consist of, "The admiral wants the PCs to investigate strange reports on the frontier," and you try a Wiki Walk, you're not likely to find something cool. With the GM's Real-World Reference, the awesome material is already pulled out for you.
Furthermore, let's say you want to introduce an awesome general into your campaign, and you say, "Well, what about Patton?" If you go to General Patton's Wikipedia article, you will figure out very quickly that it is not designed for GMs. The vast, vast majority of the information on that page will never make it to your gaming table. So it's up to you to sift through his Wikipedia page – to say nothing of all the books and such that have been written about the man – looking for those choice bits that will make him an amazing NPC at your table. We want to do that work for you. When you open up the book and go to the page on Patton, our goal is that every single thing on that page should be awesome at your table. And we think that's a level of convenience worth paying for.
We don't have any plans to do so at the current time. A lot of Kickstarter campaigns wind up promising the moon, and only find out after being funded that they didn't know the first thing about moon-delivering. We're being very careful not to let that happen.
All the reward tiers higher than $12 will get this perk. We added this reward halfway through the campaign as a thank you to our higher reward tier backers, and you can't edit the description of a reward once someone has pledged to it.

Clown School
Celebration Barn in South Paris has trained a generation of mimes, vaudevillians, and actors.
- By: Kathleen Fleury
Photograph by John Beebe
You know those two guys, the ones in the white lab coats and goggles dropping Mentos candies into bottles of Diet Coke, precipitating surprisingly beautiful explosions of soda? Of course, you know them. Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz have been all over the network morning show circuit. Their YouTube video, featuring their signature fountains of pop against a backdrop of stately pines, has been viewed close to a million times. And you've probably asked yourself where in the world these weird and wonderful performers came from.
The answer is South Paris, Maine. More specifically, Grobe and Voltz are graduates of a tucked-away, tuned-in performance mecca called Celebration Barn. Drawing the likes of clowns, mimes, storytellers, comedians, actors, musicians (and more) for intensive workshops that run throughout the summer, this eleven-acre property about an hour from Portland serves as an entertainment epicenter for students, teachers, and performers the world round.
There is no question that Celebration Barn has made an indelible mark on the entertainment industry through the Barn's nearly forty-year history. Past and current students, teachers, and performers include prime time TV's Tom Bergeron, a host of ABC's Dancing with the Stars and America's Funniest Home Videos; Sesame Street acrobat Fred Garbo; and famed harpist Deborah Henson-Conant. More importantly, the Barn has influenced the art of entertaining itself.
That's just what the late founder, Tony Montanaro — a life-long performer and one of the most accomplished mimes of the twentieth century — would have wanted. Montanaro, who passed away in 2002, valued the creative process above all else. That focus was part of his decision to pick a decidedly rural location for the school back in 1972. "Everyone lives together, teachers and students, which creates a creative atmosphere that is really unrivaled," says Barn teacher and acclaimed performer Avner (the "Eccentric") Eisenberg.
"When Tony first started the Barn, you sat on hay bales to watch a show," says Brunswick native Grobe. "You start stripping away the façade, the glamour side of show business, and everybody has to go, 'Well, what am I really doing? What is this really about?' Ultimately we're all exploring the same thing," says Grobe, "which is how to connect with an audience."
The audience in South Paris comprises thousands of enthusiastic locals and visitors who are immensely appreciative of the talent on display. "It's the antithesis of New York," says Eisenberg. "It's a real local audience who also has an investment in the Barn."
"I don't think I've missed more than one or two shows in the past three years," says Bonnie Ripley, who walks from her nearby house to the Barn for the Saturday night performances from June through September.
Executive Director Amanda Huotari, who herself grew up just down the road, insists that the rural location is at the heart of Celebration Barn's soul and success.
"The Barn offers a unique place to unplug," says Huotari. "Students escape from their daily demands to study here where they can take long walks around Paris Hill, swim in Norway Lake, and eat s'mores around a campfire. The fresh air, fields, chickens, and stars at night all inspire taking time to get connected to ourselves, to each other, and to create the work we most want to do."
Celebration Barn is located at 190 Stock Farm Road in South Paris. 207-743-8452. For a complete listing of summer workshops and shows visit www.celebrationbarn.com

Strong community, stronger software
Drupal Camp 2008
Attracting both new and experienced Drupal users, Drupal Camp Toronto is home to a thriving community with global reach.
There's a Canadian radio show called "The Vinyl Cafe" that features stories and music. The motto of the show is, "We May Not Be Big, But We're Small." Drupal Camp Toronto stays true to this ethos. A lot of new faces and new speakers appeared this year – an indication of the Drupal community's continued growth. From new Drupal administrators to General Assembly members of the Drupal Association, Drupal Camp Toronto is home to a strong community with global reach.
jQuery Keynote
This year, Drupal Camp Toronto featured a keynote presentation by John Resig on the jQuery JavaScript library (Figure 1). This library was integrated into the Drupal core in 2007. Resig's one-hour presentation included an overview of the project, as well as practical advice on the use of jQuery to manipulate HTML interfaces and web form submissions. By the end of the session, even the most JavaScript-phobic of audience members felt they could use the library in future web projects.
Conference Themes
The biggest question for the conference was: Have you upgraded to Drupal 6? Drupal comprises a core content management system and contributed modules. Almost every Drupal install requires at least a few additional contributed modules. Modules are designed to match specific versions of the Drupal core. With the release of Drupal 6 earlier this year, Drupal site administrators started to monitor the progress of key contributed modules. The changes from Drupal 4.7 to Drupal 5 significantly benefitted Drupal users and administrators, and the adoption of Drupal 5 was relatively fast. A number of the popular contributed modules still need your help to make the leap from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6. In the mean time, many conference attendees predicted they will skip Drupal 6 altogether and wait to upgrade their sites to Drupal 7, which is already in the works.
Popular sessions at Drupal Camp Toronto included: Drupal theming, working with clients and designers, site optimization (both the front end and server-side), and how to choose the right modules for your project. Session descriptions as well as slides and notes have been added to the conference site [1].
Choosing Modules
Many of the sessions gave a comparison of several modules with advice on choosing the best module for your project. Richard Weait gave his top suggestions in his presentation, "From 2500 to Ten: A beginner's guide to module selection." His list included both the popular CCK and Views modules, as well as Webform (a contact form with additional fields) and CCK facets and Faceted Search (a filter to browse by CCK fields).
Jocelyn Stretton gave a demonstration of how different image modules are good in different situations. In her presentation, she featured Slideshow Pro [2] and the associated Drupal module (SSP Drupal), IMCE (an image upload and browsing utility that supports personal directories and quota), and Asset (a rich media file manager).
My own presentation demonstrated how users could migrate their websites into Drupal. Recommended modules included Import HTML, Node Import, and User Import. Participants also suggested twill [3] to automate point-and-click tasks from the command line.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
Used for 1 backpacking trip, about 5 car camping trips and a 6 day camp in NC. The zipper disconnects and will not reconnect to the other side, a huge issue, as it can't be used. This was a GREAT for the time it worked, but sadly I will have to return this sleeping bag.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
This is a nice bag for the money. it's a little tight in the shoulders for a larger male (I'm 6' 2'' 230) it was a little tight side to side at the top...but still doable...an ok compromise for size/weight.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
Very warm, almost too warm for summer camping but isn't too bad if you keep it unzipped. I am 6'4 and I got the long version, which was very room and perfect for a taller, bigger framed guy such as myself. Packs down very small and very light. I love this thing.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
This is my first non-down bag in a while (I have older synthetic TNF Shoeshoe and Cat's Meow bags), and it's the warmest-temp rated bag in some time. I have been using a 20F superlight down bag for the past couple of summers, but since a lot of my camping is on sea kayak trips I figured it was time to go conservative and pick up a synthetic bag. This seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
All of my camping is in southcentral coastal Alaska, most if it out of a sea kayak. Our summers are cool with high humidity, and punctuated with frequent rain. Summertime lows can get down to 40F, so the temp rating of this bag seemed about right. It packs down admirably small for a synthetic fill, and I put it in an 8 liter dry bag very easily. A 5 liter dry bag would do in an pinch. It fluffs up to its original loft fairy quickly when unstuffed, and I find the 40F temp rating to be pretty much spot on, though I am a reasonably warm sleeper. That said, the bag could use a little more insulation in the foot area, but otherwise the shingle construction leaves no cold spots that I could find. At around 40F I slept with a thin pair of wool socks and a silk-weight long-sleeve top and was very comfy. The baffle tube behind the zipper is snag free and keeps the heat in very well. The zipper itself has a 'lock' that I find a little too agressive, and you have to pull the zip tab just right to open the zipper, but it's not a big deal. The bag has a wonderful compartment that you can slide your pillow into. Brilliant. I like keeping ear plugs in the small zippered pocket on the side of the bag for those windy, rainy nights. I find the bag roomier than many others, and I don't feel like I am in a straight jacket at all. I can roll over without twisting the bag up like a dish rag. You aren't going to sit cross-legged in this thing, but for a mummy-style bag there is a generous cut through the leg section. The lining and shell are soft against your skin and overall the cut and construction are excellent.
I have spent 14 very pleasant nights in this bag so far, including an 11-day sea kayak trip which had some rainy periods. It's a very nice bag and a great value. Keep it up, REI.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
I am 6'4", 215lbs, 35" waist and this bag (long version) was a perfect fit. My first trip out with it the temps got down to 39.5* and I was very comfortable with only 'undies' on. I would probably be comfortable down around 33*-35* with extra clothing on like a shirt, shorts and 'undies', and some socks. The pillow pocket worked great with my Cocoon Ultralight pillow.
The reason for the 3 Season Plus headline is when you add a bag liner you can get any where from 10* to 25* lower temps out of this bag (depending on the liner), which, for the mountains of NC, would get you into the early and late winter months. It compresses very well and I have yet to have any super snags with the zipper. All in all, this is a great bag for the money, especially when you buy it with your 20% off member coupon.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
I scored a great deal on this bag (under $100), and couldn't pass up the opportunity to add a warm weather bag to my pack.
At 6'0 185, I fit easily lengthwise into the bag. The torso area is roomy enough, though the legs are fairly tight.
I found the bag adequately warm in 38-40 degree nights in Michigan's Pictured Rocks NL. Conditions were extremely windy and rainy and I was sleeping in a Sierra Designs Light Year 1 with fly.
The bag packs small for a synthetic, and fits easily into the tiny bag compartment of my Deuter Futura 42. The Women's Lumen 40 (which has much more insulation and weight), just barely fit. Weight is reasonable, fairly light and certainly suitable for backpacking. The bag seems well constructed and the zipper was relatively snag-free.
Cons: It stays wet "forever." Make sure you have protection from the rain.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
First off I am 6'2" 220 lbs. I got the long size, which I think is just a little too long. I sleep on my side, and at my size in this bag I feel like I want to turn into the incredible hulk and just rip the thing apart when I'm trying to get comfortable. I feel very constricted trying to move around and adjust and have had many sleepless nights in this bag. If you are smaller, it might work great for you. At my size though I dislike this sleeping bag. As for the temp rating, I would say it's off. I'm only comfortable in this bag on nights where it's 60+. At 40 degrees I am freezing in this bag and definitely not a happy camper. One night it dropped to 35 and I was in 2 jackets, thermal pants, pants, and two pairs of socks on top of an insulated mat and it barely worked. This is a summer bag strictly. Look into something better for more use.
Best Uses
Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
I bought this bag about a third of the way into a summer road trip (the Southern US part was the first third). I still ended up splitting time between this and my summer (+55) bag/liner (and combining them at points), but man would I have suffered if I didn't decide to pick this up. This bag kept me warm everywhere we went. I used it in the 40's with ease, and combined it with my liner for for the nights in the 30's at Crater Lake and Yellowstone. With both those bags, I was a little warm with it zipped all the way at first, but slept very comfortably. I'm 6' 5" and the long version of this bag is plenty long enough to stretch out. I am thin though. Using it with my liner it did get a bit cozy, but not even close to the point of discomfort.
I look forward to many good trips with this bag.

Comments about REI Lumen +40 Sleeping Bag:
I bought the long bag and it still compresses down to the size of a football. I am 6 foot 4 inches and the length fits me fine. The only con I would mention is that there isn't a lot of side-to-side room once you are zipped up. Definitely not going to fit two people in there. I picked this bag because it fit me so well, but you may need a little more room. Recommend you try it on at REI before you buy. For the money, this was a great deal. The bag is a +40, so it's not made for cold, cold weather. I bought a fleece liner for colder trips. I love the pillow pocket and the wallet pocket too.

DissapointedPros: Bright screen, large widescreen view, viewable from most angles. Cons: I was rather disappointing with this monitor. The colors seemed to be off kind of blue tinted and faded. The screen was very bright but the pixels were not crisp at all even when playing something in HD. There was an obvious blurry-ness to it. It would be fine if you don't really care that much. But for playing games on high settings or watching Netflix in HD, I would not recommend it. Returned it after a week and bought an ASUS that I'm much happier with. Other Thoughts: Go with an ASUS or something else will make your games and movies look better and they will most likely be cheaper 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great monitor!Pros: Can't complain about the price, at $169.99 when I got it, its hard to beat with this type of quality Cons: -VGA cord it comes with is all, but if you are looking for the best quality, you shouldn't even think of plugging this thing into a VGA cable. Not enough to knock even a fraction of an egg off. Other Thoughts: If you get this are thinking about this monitor for gaming, I would say go for it! Just be prepared to spend a few minutes adjusting the colors to your liking, but that should be done with any new monitor you get. If you're reading news articles online or a programmer that looks at text all day, it may be perfectly clear (depends on text used), but its still a great monitor to get. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Easily the best monitor i've ever ownedPros: Great color, no setup required. Color looked great out of the box. Very sharp and responsive. vesa mount. fast power up. Resolution is high enough (1920x1080) to allow 2 browsers side by side with 960px layouts so no need for horizontal scroll. Cons: Like others said.. the stand is wobbly but i'm going to be wall mounting it soon. Other Thoughts: I'm considering buying a second matching one considering how good it is for the money. Did you find this review helpful? |
Best Monitor I've Ever HadPros: First off, I have to say I was amazed by the quality difference from this monitor to my old one, it's literally night and day difference. The installation was easy, I found the stand to be actually quite stable and has good vertical tilt. Refresh rates are noticeable compared to my old monitor aswell. Cons: Don't have a second one to go along with this one! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
great monitorPros: Great monitor! Cons: none, so far Other Thoughts: Serves as the monitor for my "main" computer, so i'm looking at it for long periods. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great monitor!Pros: Perfect size Cons: The settings were terrible at first, and hurt my eyes. After some adjustments, i finally found what worked well for me. Other Thoughts: Only one other monitor i think is on par with this one, possibly better, but i can't remember the model! Its an Asus LED 24 inch with 2ms response. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Just... WowPros: Wow. The quality on this monitor just blew me away when I first used it. It is pretty cheap for a 120hz monitor and it is worth it in every field. Running battlefield higher than 60hz really changed my score. Can't wait for battlefield 4! Cons: absolutely none. Your money will be well spent! Other Thoughts: Like I said previously, the quality is pretty amazing. You will have to tweak your brightness settings a bit though because at some points, this monitor can be either a little bright or a little dark. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Great contrast, all the colors are visibly more vibrant from other monitors I've used. Cons: No HDMI, not really that inconvenient as there are adapters to get around this. Did you find this review helpful? |
QualityPros: VA Panel, Cheap, Sturdy stand, excellent colors Cons: Limited tilt, no HDMI Other Thoughts: Once monitor is properly calibrated the colors look amazing. I used someones settings from Hard Forum when I searched Google for calibration settings. I tweaked them a little to my liking and the picture quality is really nice. Brightness is great and there is no ghosting even when playing fast paced Need For Speed Most Wanted. I got it on sale for $125 from another retailer and would consider getting another. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great LED\LCD MonitorPros: Screen quality. Of the many monitors I looked at in many stores and actually took home. This one turned out to be the best bang for the back. Great PQ. I came from a 21" Dell Trinitron old-school big beast of a monitor. Nothing ever looked as good as it that I could afford. This came the closest. Even better than some IPS monitors I took home. Cons: My desk is solid so it does not shake. The stands are very weak in that if you have a wobbly work area the will easily wobble. If you a gamer who bangs your desk, KB, and/or mouse you will make this sucker shake. And why just a VGA cable? Other Thoughts: Been using them for close to a year. When I first bought these on other monitors I ran them thru a few monitor test utilities out there that are free. On some other reg LCD's and IPS screen I had pixels fail. These stayed their course. Every monitor line has it's bad and weak eggs. So maybe I was just lucky. I went thru a few ASUS monitors before I gave up as far as pixel fails. These are still kickin! Two of these was a better decision than one more expensive monitor. Did you find this review helpful? |

we had an amazing stay at the hotel for 4 nights. the bad... parking and internet are expensive....$12 per night for parking seemed a little bit too much and the internet $10 per day...when we only used an hour or so...were quite an addition to the bill....other than that everything was really nice....

When considering the price, location, and amenities included, this is our hotel of choice when visiting the Disneyland area. While not close enough to walk, getting to the parks is very easy. We enjoyed the pool, the parking is easy, and the rooms are large, well maintained, and comfortable. The staff was very accomodating as well. We'll be back!!

Rated 5 out of 5 Parking problem
The only complaint I have about this hotel is that you need your room key to open the gate to exit the parking lot. The only time I left the lot was after I had checked out. I left the room key in the room, so I did not have the key with me. I used the intercom, and eventually they opened the gate remotely. They need to inform guests of this policy.
Despite this minor problem, I still rate the hotel with a maximum rating.

This is alarming information. It make you wonder how much information we can really control this day and age. With everything moving beyond the PC it changes the game entirely.
This also shows that once something is cracked, the floodgates are opened to anyone with the time and energy to screw around with other people's systems. Imagine what that teenager would be able to do in a legitimate job? He would be a talented employee.
You only need one genius to break into sophisticated security. After that, the exploit gets out -- often, as we've seen here, with a YouTube instructional video -- and any chump or schoolkid can do it.
This NOT an urban myth story. The events happend recently and within my company, a real hack .. in real time .. by a schoolkid.
Passwords were changed from shipping default, gateway IP modified from standard shipping settings, real security enabled. The whole works. Editorial license prevented me from including a video showing the use of the exploits in real time.
Small networks are vulnerable, very open to attack. My post is about education, not a scare tactic.
This reminds us the fact that all the encryptions are breakable. It just takes more time if you use latest patch and/or use a long key. Layer approach is always better such as put another firewall as an interior defense, or as simple as turning the machine off when you do not use it.
In Brevard County, Florida, one family's life was, almost literally, torn apart when police stormed their home after (I don't recall all the details) they became suspicious that someone in the house was downloading child pornography. After digging into all the home's computers -- and you can imagine how much fun that must have been -- law enforcement determined the porn was actually allegedly being downloaded by a neighbor who was using their wifi connection. So after being accused and suspected by police, after having all their personal information scrutinized and being, no doubt, shunned by neighbors and friends, they were found innocent of this horrendous crime. But it must have been an awful few days.
Yes, and private financial data is offered for sale online too.
Sam, you raise an interesting point about those times when performance is compromised. I always and immediately blame my local cable provider for the usual "technical difficulties." They always tell me to turn the router off/on. In fact, I don't bother calling them any more, but just push the power button on those occasions. We do have a pretty complex password but it does make you wonder. Certainly seems a good market for solution providers or other third-party security firms to address if they can figure out a cost-effective way to serve such a far-flung market.
Wow Micheal that is just scary, I work from home all the time and I often wonder why my bandwidth has strnge issues at times now that you have sufficently scared me I will get a network security friend of mine in ASAP to check and add additional security. I am in the process of moving all to the cloud but still very very scary stuff thanks for bringing it to light!
The hacker underbelly is scary. I recall reading about websites where tens of thousands of credit card numbers are sold, along with Social Security numbers, hacks, and other information that criminals need/want in order to steal from others. Because these sites are so cleverly concealed and often hosted offshore, it's next-to-impossible for American or European law enforcement to do much about them.
How widely understood is it that many exploits are readily available online, if you know which sites to go to? Chilling, I agree.

I made my First Development in the 3010 yesterday, with efke25 and rodinal 1+49 8min, everything went well and even negatives
Seriously? LOL LOL Best tanks in the world.... wish they were still being made......
Jobo tanks are still being made.
Not cheap - but are out there and can be bought NEW.
700ml of Xtol 1:3 in a 3010 for all the B&W film I shoot. I never level the tank on my Uniroller base as the tank tends to walk off. I always have the lid end high with the lid bearing on the rollers.

Wayne's Blog
I do the same as Wayne and never have problem, I even use it for 5x7.
I use the 3005 and 3010 tanks and after discovering what you did, I started using a minimum of 600-700 ml of developer and have had beautiful results ever since.
Looks to be the consensus here.
I'm guessing all most of the jobo expert users here are relying on visual evaluation. I did a test using plus-x and t-max developer with 300ml, 500ml and 700ml. In all the cases I found variations of density in all axis (depth, radius and rotation, invisible to the naked eye) and it's worst than expected (9 locations per sheet, half inch from the border). I'll post the delta-density numbers later.
Make sure you qualify your results using a real name and contact info.

This is very interesting as I have similar experiences to the others who've had no problems with their 3010 drums. I usually run close to a litre for a full load. Minimum I've used was around 500 ml.
Just asking but is this data from an unexposed neg ?
where we're going, we don't need roads. just a Giesler, 9.9 horses, wide open Shield waters and I'm outta here
The ironic thing is these drums have been around for twenty plus years, used by folks like John Sexton etc and claimed to be virtually the best way for home darkroom users to achieve flawless processing results. I have used the drums for about that long and done thousands of negatives, hundreds of tests and the issues are traceble to user error. In my book, soon to be written Its the claiments responsibilty to document the issue in such a way that it can be repeated consistently. That said the drums may not be the method of choice for all developers and circumstances....so qualification is really a requirement- at least in my book to be taken seriously.

Freed to Serve
Jesus has freed us from the power of sin and death: to love for the freedom that counts is the freedom in which "faith works through love" (Gal 5:6). We were not freed to loaf around, rather we were freed to serve, and to do that with love. Watch this video of LOC's Louis Dorvilier, Lutheran World Federation Representative for the Caribbean Haiti Program and see one way we have been freed to serve:
Explore the links on this page to learn more about how you can live into being freed to serve locally, nationally, globally.
"For freedom Christ has set us free ... only do not use this freedom as an occasion for self-indulgence, but serve one another in love."
Galatians 5:1, 13
