Whenever I find new fragrances I can wear it's like hitting the jackpot! I'm so picky when it comes to the scent that will land on me. I blame it on my sinuses. If you've had a chance to hug me lately then you know I'm kind of obsessed with Mary Kay's Thinking of You® Eau de Parfum. They actually just sent me two new scents I think you might love.
Mary Kay sent over their new Special-Edition Mary Kay® Dance to Life™ Eau de Parfum, Special-Edition Dance to Life™ Radiant Shimmer Lotion, and True Original™ Cologne Spray.
The Special-Edition Mary Kay® Dance to Life™ Eau de Parfum was created to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Mary Kay. They describe it as being "designed for the woman who dances with every beat of her heart." Top notes include Wet Apples and Rose de Mai. Middle notes include Jasmine and Magnolia. Bottom notes include Vanilla and Warm Amber. It's a nice scent, just a little too warm for me.
The Special-Edition Dance to Life™ Radiant Shimmer Lotion has the same scent as above, but is in a lotion form and it leaves a slight shimmer.
Mary Kay's True Original™ Cologne Spray is a clean and fresh scent. It is a combination of lemon, cedar wood, and patchouli notes. This one is going to the hubby! I can already smell him now.

For the Salsa:
1. In a small saucepan, cover tomatoes with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Place cooked tomatoes and remaining ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Set the salsa aside until ready to use.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina with the very warm water. Let mixture sit a few minutes and then turn dough out onto a clean surface and continue to knead 3-4 minutes. Add a little more masa harina if the dough sticks too much to your hands. Cover masa harina with a damp towel and rest 1 hour.
3. Roll dough into 16 to 18 golf ball-size balls. Using your palms or (better yet) a tortilla press lined with a thin plastic bag, gently press one of the balls into a 6� disc.
4. Heat a griddle or a large skillet on high heat. Carefully peel a tortilla from the plastic and lay it flat on the skillet. Cook 30 seconds to a minute on each side until lightly browned puffed in spots. As you work, keep finished tortillas covered with a towel to stay warm and moist.
5. In a deep, heavy skillet, heat the oil to about 350F. Using tongs, soften a tortilla by sweeping through the hot oil and then patting dry on paper towels. Lay a heaping tablespoon of filling in the middle of the warm tortilla. Roll up tightly and secure with a toothpick.
6. Increase oil temperature to 375 degrees and fry the flautas in batches until golden.
7. Serve over a plate of warm sauce and top with garnishes of your choice. Enjoy!
Serves 6-8

Houston - A nervous traveler, changing stories and hand painted Peruvian plaques helped federal agents find more than 4 kilos of cocaine, according to documents filed in Houston federal court.
Federal court documents read when Giovanni Quiroz landed at Bush Intercontinental Airport last Thursday, Customs agents asked him a few basic questions while standing near the luggage belt. Agents write Qurioz initially told them he was returning from visiting friends in Peru before heading on to New Jersey. Agents write Quiroz told them he was unemployed and paid for his more than $1,000 ticket with "disability".
Suspicious of his story agents examined his luggage more closely. Agents write an X-Ray machine didn't reveal anything suspicious, but agents noted Quiroz seemed "to be in a rush to leave" and told agents he had a "flight to catch".
Agents then decided to take an even closer look at the man's suitcase and discovered 18 hand painted plaques. Agents wrote Quiroz kept changing his story as to who he got the plaques from, who he was visiting and who he was supposed to meet in New Jersey. During this back-and-forth agents wrote they noticed a white powder on one of the plaques.
Agents wrote the powder tested positive for cocaine. At this point agents stated Quiroz changed his demeanor by "keeping his head down" and asking "Am I in trouble?" Agents wrote they found a total of 4.73 kilos of cocaine in 18 plaques.
Agents then charged Quiroz with possession with intent to distribute and also noted the man who said he was unemployed had flown to Peru 16 times since 2004.
I have attached the criminal complaint, with pictures of the plaques, for you to read.

PERTH Smothering pressure versus run and stun. Which one will prevail?
The answer to that question will become clearer on Saturday when the ultra-disciplined Dockers lock horns with the free-wheeling Power at Adelaide Oval.
Fremantle's unrelenting pressure proved too much to handle for the Power when the teams met in round 22 last year.
But although Port Adelaide lost that match by 74 points, they gained valuable lessons on what it takes to match it with the best.
The Power loom as genuine premiership contenders this season after winning six of their opening seven games, with their silky skills and gut-running ability making them hard to match.
Fremantle have stuttered to a 4-3 start, but their renowned pressure has been building in recent weeks.
The contrast in styles between the two sides makes for an intriguing battle, and Dockers midfielder Michael Barlow said it was crucial to curb Port Adelaide's on-ball brigade.
"They're a really run-and-gun, end-to-end, link-up team.," Barlow said.
"The best form of defence is offence.
"Jay Schulz leads the Coleman, Justin Westhoff on his day can kick 10, and Chad Wingard at ground level was an All-Australian last year.
"If we're at our defensive best, we can try to stop the influx of forward 50 entries for them and those weapons I just alluded to."
Dockers defender Zac Dawson (ankle) faces a race against time to be fit to tackle the Power, but Fremantle are hopeful Luke McPharlin (quad) and midfielder Stephen Hill (hamstring) will be available.
The Power are set to be bolstered by the returns of Hamish Hartlett and Alipate Carlile after the pair missed last week's win over GWS due to gastro.
Barlow admitted he was a tad rusty in the 19-point derby win over West Coast after missing the previous four weeks due to a knee injury.
But he knows he'll be better for the run, and says he's looking forward to the challenge of knocking off the second-placed Power on their home turf.

A man is dead and a police officer injured after they fell over a retaining wall near Niagara Falls during a chase.
Canadian police say the officer was pursuing a man on Tuesday afternoon and they both went over a wall, plunging near or to the bottom of Niagara Gorge, about two kilometres north of the falls.
Canadian TV reports rescue crews used a hard-framed basket attached to a fire truck boom to reach the victims.
Police say the injured Niagara Regional Police officer was pulled 30 metres out of the gorge, and airlifted to a hospital in Hamilton with a broken leg.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit says firefighters later recovered the body of the man being chased who died of injuries from the fall.

As you may have noticed, Virgin Media, Sky, TalkTalk, Virgin Media, O2, Be, Plusnet, Post Office broadband, Orange and T-Mobile and others block The Pirate Bay these days because of a BPI order.
Why are they being blocked? The BPI – the music industry body – ordered the block in the high court. Now the BPI want to block other sites like Grooveshark too. The BPI is trying to get these sites blocked more and more.
The people responsible for the block are the BPI – only they can get a court to lift it. The Open Rights Group and UK Pirate Party are campaigning to end the blocking – joining those campaigns will be most likely to make the BPI change its mind.
There are various ways to bypass the block, but let's start with the easiest way to get around the BPI's blocking – here are some links to some very simple proxies and mirrors you can use to get on the site:

WYCOMBE will take part in a nationwide celebration of Commonwealth Day next week as 500 flags are set to be raised simultaneously across the country.
The event, taking place at 10am on Monday 10 March outside the Wycombe District Council offices in Queen Victoria Road, marks the first time ever that local authorities and civic dignitaries, community groups and charities have joined together in local flag raising events and ceremonies of dedication to mark Commonwealth Day.
A specially written Affirmation of the Commonwealth and a message from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be read aloud at each ceremony, including Wycombe, before the raising of the Commonwealth flag at 10am.
Cllr Ian McEnnis, Chairman of Wycombe District Council said: "The event is an opportunity for communities to mark Commonwealth Day and celebrate the shared goals of democracy, development and respect for diversity.
"The 'Fly a flag for the Commonwealth' initiative event has caught the imagination of thousands of participants across the country. It's a wonderful opportunity for local people to connect with others nationwide in the widespread public expression of commitment to the Commonwealth, appreciation of the values it stands for, and the opportunities offered to its citizens around the world."
"I would like to invite residents from across the district to join me outside the Wycombe District Council offices at Queen Victoria Road for 10am on Monday 10 March so that we can share this moment and celebrate the Commonwealth together."
To raise awareness of the day, an online map has been created showing where the events are taking place. See www.esriuk.com/flyaflagmap
Elsewhere in the UK, charity teams will mark the day by taking Commonwealth flags to the top of the UK's four highest National Peaks and use the occasion to raise funds for their worthy causes: Cancer Research UK - Scafell Pike, England; Help for Heroes - Ben Nevis, Scotland; Walking with the Wounded - Mount Snowdon, Wales; and Fields of Life - Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland.
Bruno Peek, Pageantmaster and originator of 'Fly a Flag for the Commonwealth', said: "This will be the largest, single raising of the Commonwealth Flag in the history of the Commonwealth. The success of this year's event bodes well for 2015 and the future as we extend the invitation to participate and involve all 53 countries of the Commonwealth and UK overseas territories, to make this the largest-ever annual occasion involving local communities throughout the worldwide Commonwealth family."
Also attending the ceremony with Cllr McEnnis and members of WDC will be Kenneth Ross, Deputy Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, and representatives of RAF High Wycombe.

BRIDGWATER Town manager Richard Fey is confident that the Fairfax Park pitch will recover in time for Taunton Town's visit on Tuesday January 21.
Saturday's home game against Godalming was postponed on Saturday following heavy overnight rain on Friday night, but Fey says the club will be doing everything they can to ensure the derby game goes ahead.
He said: "We were disappointed it (Saturday's game) was off, but the overnight rain didn't help. We were working on the pitch all week and the difference last season was the water didn't drain well in front of the dugouts, but yesterday it was the goalmouth by changing rooms - but we weren't the only game off and we will be working hard to make sure our next home game versus Taunton is on and the pitch playable."
## THE Robins have announced the signing of left-back Ollie Barnes from Clevedon Town.
Barnes returns to Fairfax Park having previously played for the club in 2011.

Customs WoesLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
7 hours into her flight from Berlin to Denver, Jane is asked to fill out her customs forms. She rifles through her purse, looking for her receipts of the five souvenirs she purchased. Unfortunately, she can't find her list anywhere! She needs to claim her gifts to United States customs upon arrival. Help her sort out what she bought, how much it cost, what city she was in when she bought it, what attraction she was visiting, and how she got there before she lands!
Item: Postcard, Book, Audio Tape, Model, Calendar
Cost: 1, 5, 8, 10, 16 Euros
City: Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich, Frankfurt, Rothenburg
Attraction: Castle, Play, Zoo, Museum, Cathedral
Transportation: U-bahn (U-bahn is like the subway, on rails), Bergbahn (German for Mountain Train), Car (rented, of course!), Taxi, Bicycle
1. No item was purchased at an attraction or city with the same first letter as that item.
2. Neither the Zoo nor the castle were accessible by rail. Rothenburg is a small, walled city; cars and taxis are of no use there.
3. Stuttgart is known for its expensive taste. Therefore, the item purchased there was not less than 10 euros.
4. The items are as follows: The book, the item purchased at a castle, the item bought in Rothenburg, the item that cost the most, and the item purchased after a scenic train ride.
5. The "Bergbahn", or mountain train, was not required to get to the cathedral.
6. A car was rented on the trip that resulted in a souvenir for her favorite aunt that cost twice as much as the model she bought for her brother.
7. A camera was not allowed in either attraction that involved living things, so she bought a postcard to remember one of them and a calendar to remember the other.
8. The total cost of the souvenirs is divisible by the costs of each of these four different items: the one from Frankfurt, the gift bought in the cathedral, the one costing 1 Euro, and the one purchased after a taxi ride.
9. The gift from the cathedral cost half as much as the gift purchased after the taxi ride, which was not through Stuttgart.
HintIf it says something is not useful or not needed, it means that is not the transportation used.
Places, attractions and transportation solutions are fictional.
AnswerPostcard-16 euros-Car-Zoo-Stuttgart
Book-10 Euros-Taxi-Museum-Munich

A LODGER was threatened with what he thought was a nine-inch metal bar but what was, in fact, a large electronic cigarette when two men burst into a house in the middle of the night looking for a baby's dad, a court heard.
Adam Bird was told by Shane Ashurst his head would be smashed in, and that he would be stabbed when Ashurst and accomplice Andrew Bury turned up hunting the householder Matthew Heys.
Innocent Mr Bird had the 'bar' pressed into his face by Ashurst, who asked him: 'Do you want to die?' and then demanded cash.
Burnley Crown Court was told how Ashurst's wife, Becky, was the tot's aunt and Mr Heys was said to have taken issue with her seeing the child.
Mr Heys had texted Mrs Ashurst, calling her an idiot, and telling her: "I know you're on crack. I will come down there and drag you out of that house."
Ashurst's parting shot to Mr Bird was to tell him to pass on to Mr Heys he was going to kill him and said: "Nobody calls my wife a smack head."
Ashurst, of Disraeli Street and Bury, 43, of Windermere Avenue, both Burnley, had earlier admitted affray.
Ashurst was jailed for 14 months, and Bury was jailed for 10 months.
Stephen Parker, prosecut-ing, said the E-cigarette had substantial weight to it, was metal and, if held at the top, it was, to all intents and purposes, a short bar.
Mrs Ashurst told her husband about the messages a few hours before the trouble. Ashurst and Bury then went to Mr Heys' Burnley home looking for him. His friend Mr Bird had the misfortune to be a lodger there at the time.
The prosecutor continued: "By a twist of fate, Mr Heys wasn't there. A wholly inn-ocent person was asleep on the settee at 3am. He woke up to be confronted by the two defendants in the living room. They appeared to have let themselves in by an unlocked door."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1733 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With my daughter's second birthday coming up and a fresh batch of snow on the ground, I decided to scour the Internet for a pair of baby mukluks.
I found a few options, but a new aboriginal business was the main contender. I like to support aboriginal businesses whenever I can, and this new mukluk company seemed good.
Like all good impulse purchases, the price was a little out of my league, but I've learned if you pay more for a good quality product it lasts longer than a cheaper version.
The company offered free shipping within three days. I could also pay with PayPal, which is nice since I don't have a credit card. I ordered right away.
A confirmation email of my order popped up in my inbox, but there was no follow-up message telling me when I would receive my muks. I'm a veteran online shopper so I found this unusual.
Maybe this new company still had to work out some kinks, but I discovered they weren't really new. After some digging, I learned they were part of an established company selling their mukluks under a different name. I'd bought a pair of muks from them about five years ago and they were OK.
The advertised shipping deadline soon passed so I decided to send an email. They didn't respond! The next day I emailed again, and still no response. Well, so much for three-day shipping.
Strike one.
No businesses -- especially aboriginal ones -- should miss their shipping or delivery dates. It feeds the old stereotypes of aboriginal people being slackers.
My daughter's birthday passed without a present from me but that was OK. She's only two.
A day after my second message, I got a one sentence email saying my order was shipped, but still no delivery date.
One week after placing my order a guy shows up at my door with a box. He jumped in his car and took off. I opened the box to find a pair of moccasins, not mukluks.
What kind of aboriginal company can't tell the difference between moccasins and mukluks?
Strike two.
I called the phone number on the invoice to exchange the mocs for muks. A woman said she could send someone to pick them up the next day. I told her I'd drop them off instead. Their new office was only a 10-minute drive away.
I exchanged the mocs for the muks, and left happy. That is until I got them home.
Muks are supposed to reach the mid-calf and this pair was just over my girl's ankles. I would categorize them as high moccasins. They also left a big gap where snow could fall inside and get her feet wet.
All that running around and the darned muks where designed oddly and didn't fit right.
Strike three.
My anxiety level rose significantly.
An old friend told me the company in question doesn't employ aboriginal staff to make its muks. I always thought they did.
If you run an aboriginal business, it doesn't mean you have to hire aboriginal people. But doesn't it make sense if you're selling an aboriginal product?
The aboriginal friend -- who is visibly darker than me -- also said he was treated rudely when he went down to their local office years ago to buy moccasins. They shooed him out without a blink and told him to order online.
Funny, because around that time, I went to that same office to order and pick up my muks.
That was it.
I dropped off my daughter's muks for a refund. That took a few more days so I washed my hands of them. Companies -- even aboriginal ones -- that don't treat people right, don't deserve my-hard earned cash.
-- -- --
I took my own advice from awhile back, found an aboriginal craftsperson and ordered my daughter a pair of hand-made, beaded mukluks. They look great and cost a third of what my disappointment muks cost.
I also bought a leather needle and found some white leather scraps to play with. Maybe with a little practice I can make her a pair myself.

Protecting Our Cyber Infrastructure
Cyber-Covering Your Assets Is More Than Fending Off Terrorists, and Thats Not Good News
By Walt Boyes and Joe Weiss
We have information from multiple regions outside the United States of cyber intrusions into utilities, followed by extortion demands, said CIA executive Tom Donahue, in a written statement released at the SANS Security Conference held in January in New Orleans. We suspect, but cannot confirm, that some of these attackers had the benefit of inside knowledge. We have information that cyber attacks have been used to disrupt power equipment in several regions outside the United States. In at least one case, the disruption caused a power outage affecting multiple cities. We do not know who executed these attacks or why, but all involved intrusions through the Internet.
While the CIA may not be much more forthcoming for fairly obvious reasons, there are lots of clear signs that our infrastructure is being menaced by more than rust and corrosion. In process plants, in water, wastewater, power, nuclear power, pipelines and in transportation, the trend over the past 20 years has been interconnectioninterconnection of devices, of subsystems, of control systems; interconnection to government systems, to business partners, and of control systems to business and enterprise networks. This has led to a serious problem regarding protection of cyber-connected assets in all those industry verticals.
One of the very largest problems is that the control systems in plants and the SCADA systems that tie decentralized facilities like power, oil and gas pipelines, and water distribution and wastewater collection systems together were designed to be open, robust and easily operated and maintainedbut not necessarily to be secure.
For example, at the ACS Cyber Security Conference in August 2008, Nate Kube of Wurldtech and Bryan Singer of Kenexis demonstrated that a TÜV-certified, safety-instrumented system could be hacked very easily. The unidentified system failed in an unsafe condition in less than 26 seconds after the attack commenced. Operating cyber-securely was not a design criterion.
Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) had a utility on its website that allowed its Internet-enabled relays to be programmed via a Telnet client by any authorized user. Recently, several security researchers found and acted on it, and SEL has now taken the utility down to protect the users.
These cyber incidents have happened in many process industry verticals, whether theyve been admitted to or not. Its clear that it isnt just terrorists, too.
Although the CIAs Donahue says terrorists and gangsters have struck outside the U.S., in North America, cyber accidents have occurred more often than deliberate attacks. Mike Peters, of but not speaking for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), says, Its been 10 years since the various domestic and foreign terrorists started playing in cyberspace. Theyve gotten better and better at it. The middle managers, who are much more current with cyber, have not yet succeeded to leadership roles where they can order something done. Theyre collecting information, and theyre planning. Its just a matter of time.
In-House Screw-Ups
It may be a matter of time, but history shows that it is much more likely to be an internal screw-up that produces the problem.
In 1999, an operator for the Olympic Pipeline Co. in Bellingham, Wash., was working on his pipeline SCADA system. Unbeknownst to him, the scan rate of the SCADA system slowed to the point where critical process data failed to reach the SCADA HMI until after the pipeline ruptured, causing three deaths and numerous injuries. This is a classic cyber accident.
On March 7, 2008, the Southern Co.s Hatch Unit 2 nuclear power station near Baxley, Ga., was operating at approximately 100% power. An engineer was testing a software change on the plants Chemistry Data Acquisition System (CDAS) server. The engineer did not realize that the vendor software automatically synchronizes data tags between connected computers running the software. When the local tag values were updated by his code, the changes were synchronized with the software running on the condensate demineralizer control PC. The updated values were sent to the PLC operating the demineralizers. Because the values being written were zeros, the PLC switched to manual control with 0% flow demand, and closed all seven condensate demineralizer outlet valves, resulting in an automatic scram of the plant.
On Aug. 19, 2006, operators at TVAs Browns Ferry Unit 3 nuclear power plant, in northern Alabama, manually scrammed the unit following a loss of both reactor recirculation pumps. The initial investigation found that the recirculation pump VFD controllers were nonresponsive, and that the condensate demineralizer controller had also failed. The condensate demineralizer primary controller is a dual-redundant PLC system connected to the plant-integrated, Ethernet-based computer system network. The VFD controllers are also connected to this same plant-integrated control system network. TVA determined that the root cause of the event was the malfunction of the VFD controller because of excessive traffic on the plant-integrated control system network. TVA could not conclusively establish whether the failure of the PLC caused the VFD controllers to become nonresponsive, or the excessive network traffic, originating from a different source, caused both to fail. However, information received from the PLC vendor indicated that the PLC failure was a likely symptom of the excessive network traffic.
Lest you think this is all about the power and oil and gas industries, there is the case of Vitek Boden. Boden worked for Hunter Watertech, a firm that installed a SCADA system for the Maroochy Shire Council in Queensland, Australia. Later, Boden applied for a job with the council, but the council decided not to hire him. Consequently, Boden decided to get even with the council and his former employer. He packed his car with stolen radio equipment attached to a possibly stolen computer, and drove around the area on at least 46 occasions from Feb. 28 to April 23, 2000, issuing radio commands to the sewage equipment he probably helped install, causing raw sewage to spill into local parks, rivers and even the grounds of a Hyatt Regency hotel. Boden was caught and sentenced to two years in jail and ordered to reimburse the council for cleanup.

Workstation Graphics: AGP Cross Section 2004by Derek Wilson on 12/23/2004 4:14 PM EST

Jeanlou - Thursday, December 01, 2005 - linkHello,
I just bumped into AnandTech Video Card Tests, and I'm really impressed !
As a Belgian Vision Systems Integration Consultant (since 1979), I'm very interrested about the ability to compare these 3 cards (Realizm 200 vs FireGL X3 256 vs NVIDIA Quatro FX 4000).
I just had a bad experience with the Realizm 200 (!)
On a ASUS NCCH-DL motherboard, Dual Xeon 2.8GHz, 2GB DDR 400, Seagate SCSI Ultra 320 HDD, 2 EIZO monitors (Monitor N°1= L985EX at 1600x1200 px), (Monitopr N°2= L565 at 1280x1024 px), Windows XP Pro SP2 x32bit partition C:\ 16GB, Windows XP Pro x64bit edition partition D:\ 16GB, plus Extended partions (2 logical E:\ and F:\). All NTFS.
Using the main monitor for images analyses (quality control) and the slave monitor for tools, I was unable to have a stable image at 1600 by 1200 pixels. While the Wildcat4 - 7110, or even the VP990 Pro have a very stable screen at maximum resolution. But the 7110 and the VP990 Pro don't have drivers for Window XP x64bit.
Tried everything, latest BIOS, latest drive for ChipSet...
Even 3Dlabs was unable to give me the necessary support and do not answer anymore !
As soon I reduced the resolution from the main monitor to 1280 by 1024, was everything stable, but that's not what I want, I need the maximum resolution on the main monitor.
The specs from 3Dlabs resolution table is giving 3840 by 2400 pixels maximum!
I send it back, and I'm looking for an other card.
I wonder if the FireGL X3 256 will do the job ?
We also use an other monitor from EIZO (S2410W) with 1920 by 1200 pixels !
What are exactly the several resolutions possible with the FireGL X3 256 using 2 monitors ? I cannot find it on the specs.
Any comment will be appreciated,
Best regards,
Jean Reply
kaissa - Sunday, February 20, 2005 - linkExcellent article. I hope that you make workstation graphic card comparision a regular article. How about an article on workstation notebooks? Thanks a lot. Reply
laverdir - Thursday, December 30, 2004 - linkdear derek wilson,
could you tell us how much is the performance
difference between numa and uma in general
on this tests..
and it would be great if you could post maya
related results for guadro 4k with numa enabled..
seasonal greetings Reply
RedNight - Tuesday, December 28, 2004 - linkThis is the best workstation graphics card review I have read in ages. Not only does it present the positive and negatives of each the principal cards in question, it presents them in relationship to high end mainsteam cards and thereby helps many, including myself, understand the real differences in performance. Also, by inovatingly including AutoCAD and Gaming Tests one gets a clear indication of when the workstation cards are necessary and when they would be a waste of money. Thanks Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, December 27, 2004 - linkDubb,
Thanks for letting us know about that one :-) We'll have to have a nice long talk with NV's workstation team about what exactly is going on there. They very strongly gave us the idea that the featureset wasn't present on geforce cards.
#19, NUMA was disabled because most people running a workstation with 4 or fewer GB of RAM on a 32 machine will not be running with the pae kernel installed. We wanted to test with a setup most people would be running under the circumstances. We will test NUMA capabilities in the future.
When we test workstation CPU performance or system performance, POVRay will be a possible inclusion. Thanks for the suggestion.
Derek Wilson Reply
mbhame - Sunday, December 26, 2004 - linkPlease include POVRay benchies in Workstation tests. Reply
Myrandex - Saturday, December 25, 2004 - linkI wonder why NUMA was fully supported but yet disabled. Maybe instabilities or something. Reply

Dubb - Friday, December 24, 2004 - linkuhhh.. my softquadro'd 5900 ultra begs to differ. as would all the 6800 > qfx4000 mods being done by people on guru3d's rivatuner forum.
I thought you guys knew that just because nvida says something doesn't mean it's true?
they must consider "physically different sillicon" to be "we moved a resistor or two"... Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, December 24, 2004 - linkBy high end features, I wasn't talking about texturing or prgrammatic vertex or fragment shading (which is highend in the consumer space).
I was rather talking about hardware support for: AA lines and points, overlay plane support, two-sided lighting (fixed function path), logic operations, fast pixel read-back speeds, and dual 10-bit 400MHz RAMDACs and 2 dual-link DVI-I connectors supporting 3840x2400 on a single display (the IBM T221 comes to mind).
There are other features, but these are key. In products like Maya and 3D Studio, not having overlay plane support creates an absolutely noticable performance hit. It really does depend on how you push the cards. We do prefer the in application benchmarks to SPECveiwperf. Even the SPECapc tests can give a better feel for where things will fall -- because the entire system is a factor rather than just the gfx card and CPU.
#14, Dubb -- I hate to be the one to tell you this -- GeForce and Quadro are physically different silicon now (NV40 and NV40GL). AFAIK, ever since GF4/Quadro4, it has been impossible to softquadro an nvidia card. The Quadro team uses the GeForce as it's base core, but then adds on workstation class features. Reply
Sword - Friday, December 24, 2004 - linkHi again,
I want to add to my first post that there were 2 parts and a complex assembly (>110 very complex parts without simplified rep).
The amount of data to process was pretty high (XP shows >400 Mb and it can goes up to 600 Mb).
About the specific features, I believe that most of the CAD users do not use them. People like me, mechanical engineers and other engineers, are using the software like Pro/E, UGS, Solidworks, Inventor and Catia for solid modeling without any textures or special effects.
My comment was really to point that the high end features seams useless in real world application for engineering.
I still believe that for 3D multimedia content, there is place for high-end workstation and the specviewperf benchmark is a good tool for that. Reply
Dubb - Friday, December 24, 2004 - linkhow about throwing in soft-quadro'd cards? when people realize with a little effort they can take a $350 6800GT to near-q4000 performance, that changes the pricing issue a bit. Reply
Slaimus - Friday, December 24, 2004 - linkIf the Realizm 200 performs this well, it will be scary to see the 800 in action. Reply
DerekWilson - Friday, December 24, 2004 - linkdvinnen, workstation cards are higher margin -- selling consumer parts may be higher volume, but the competition is harder as well. Creative would have to really change their business model if they wanted to sell consumer parts.
Sword, like we mentioned, the size of the data set tested has a large impact on performance in our tests. Also, Draven31 is correct -- a lot depends on the specific features that you end up using during your normal work day.
Draven31, 3dlabs drivers have improved greatly with the Realizm from what we've seen in the past. In fact, the Realizm does a much better job of video overlay playback as well.
Since one feature of the Quadro and Realizm cards is their ability to run genlock/framelock video walls, perhaps a video playback/editing test would make a good addition to our benchmark suite Reply
Draven31 - Friday, December 24, 2004 - linkComing up with the difference between the spec viewperf tests and real-world 3d work means finding out which "high-end card' features that the test is using and then turning them off in the tests. With NVidia cards, this usually starts with antialiased lines. It also depends on whether the application you are running even uses these features... in Lightwave3D, the 'pro' cards and the consumer cards are very comparable performance-wise because it doesn't use these so-called 'high-end' features very extensively.
And while they may be faster in some Viewperf tests, 3dLabs drivers generally suck. Having owned and/or used several, I can tell you any app that uses DirectX overlays as part of its display routines is going to either be slow or not work at all. For actual application use, 3dLabs cards are useless. I've seen 3dLabs cards choke on directX apps, and that includes both games and applications that do windowed video playback on the desktop (for instance, video editing and compositing apps) Reply
Sword - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkHi everyone,
I am a mechanical engineer in Canada and I am a fan of anandtech.
I made last year a very big comparison of mainstream vs workstation video card for our internal use (the company I work for).
The goal was to compare the different systems (and mainly video cards) to see if in Pro-Engineer and the kind of work with do we could take real advantage of high-end workstation video card.
My conclusion is very clear : in specviewperf there is a huge difference between mainstream video card and workstation video card. BUT, in the day-to-day work, there is no real difference in our reaults.
To summarize, I made a benchmark in Pro/E using the trail files with 3 of our most complex parts. I made comparison in shading, wireframe, hidden line and I also verified the regeneration time for each part. The benchmark was almost 1 hour long. I compared 3D Labs product, ATI professionnal, Nvidia professionnal and Nvidia mainstream.
My point is : do not believe specviewperf !! Make your own comparison with your actual day-to-day work to see if you really have to spend 1000 $ per video cards. Also, take the time to choose the right components so you minimize the calculation time.
If anyone at Anandtech is willing to take a look at my study, I am willing to share the results.
Thank you Reply
dvinnen - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkI always wondered why Creative (they own 3dLabs) never made a consumer edition of the Wildcat. Seems like a smallish market when it wouldn't be all that hard to expand into consumer cards. Reply
Cygni - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkIm surprised by the power of the Wildcat, really... great for the dollar. Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkmattsaccount,
glad we could help out with that :-)
there have been some reports of people getting consumer level driver to install on workstatoin class parts, which should give better performance numbers for the ATI and NVIDIA parts under games if possible. But keep in mind that the trend in workstation parts is to clock them at lower speeds than the current highest end consumer level products for heat and stability reasons.
if you're a gamer who's insane about performance, you'd be much better off paying $800 on ebay for the ultra rare uberclocked parts from ATI and NVIDIA than going out and getting a workstation class card.
Now, if you're a programmer, having access to the workstation level features is fun and interesting. But probably not worth the money in most cases.
Only people who want workstation class features should buy workstation class cards.
Derek Wilson Reply
mattsaccount - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkYes, very interesting. This gives me and lots of others something to point to when someone asks why they shouldn't get the multi-thousand dollar video card if they want top gaming performance :) Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkjohnsonx,
thanks for the suggestion. we're definitly exploring options for other workstation articles.
since this is the first of the graphics workstation articles we've tackled in quite a while, we wanted to start with current technology (R4xx, NV4x, and WC Realizm based parts). There aren't curently lower end parts (with the exception of the Wildcat Realizm 100) based on the technology we tested for this article.
thanks again. let us know if there's anything else we can look into doing for future reviews.
Derek Wilson Reply
johnsonx - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkHow about benchmarking some of the lower Quadro and FireGL cards? ATI has the FireGL 9600 (aka FireGL T2-128), FireGL 9700 (aka FireGL X1), and FireGL 9800 (aka FireGL X2-256t) at $250, $500 and $600 price points repectively. Comparable Quadros are available as well.
For many professional uses, a workstation class card (with attendant workstation class, certified drives) is desired, but ultra-high performance isn't important. It'd be nice to see the comparitive performance of the lower end cards.
DerekWilson - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkksherman,
You may have some luck with the 6600gt under AutoCAD, espeically if you don't intend to push the graphics subsystem as much as we did (no AA lines, less tess, etc...), but depending on the Pro/E workload, you may have trouble.
The SPECviewperf veiwset tests a much larger workload than the OCUS benchmark. If you're working with smaller data, you should be fine, but if we're talking millions of verts, you're going to have increasing ammounts of trouble with a 128MB card.
Derek Wilson Reply
ksherman - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkYou guys should throw in a few mainstream graphics cards for comparison. I am trying to build a systems whos primary use will be with Pro/Engineer and AutoCAD and i certainly do not have the money for a $1000+ video card. Im just wondering how the other cards match up (like the 6600gt AGP) Reply
Speedo - Thursday, December 23, 2004 - linkNice review! Reply

Megan Hauserman's show pulled off the air
VH1 officially pulled Megan Wants a Millionaire off the air today after reports surfaced that one of the contestants, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, is the target of an international manhunt regarding the murder of former Playboy model and Vegas stripper Jasmine Fiore. Jenkins also is rumored to have won I Love Money 3 which most likely puts that show in jeopardy. People reports:
"Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim's family," says a statement from the network.
According to some media reports, Jenkins won $250,000 on I Love Money, in March. At around the same time, Jenkins met Fiore at a strip club, and the two were married two days later – on March 18, according to the Clark County, Nev., Recorder's Office (although Fiore's mother told reporters she doesn't believe a legitimate marriage took place.)
Jenkins and Fiore were living in Los Angeles at the time of the murder. Worrall says he knows little about the nature of their relationship – only that they were last seen together Friday evening at a poker tournament in San Diego.
According to TMZ, Fiore texted an ex-boyfriend that evening, offering to meet him in Las Vegas. Later that evening, the ex got another text from Fiore's phone that said: "Suck it." The site also reports that Jenkins was convicted in 2007 of assaulting his girlfriend at the time.
So murdering a stripper got one, if not two, VH1 reality shows canceled. That really the message we're going with here? Because it's probably not a good idea to romanticize something
that ends in somber looks on the groomsmen during your sister's wedding not good. (WE MADE A PACT!)
NOTE: If you see this guy, call the police.

Embattled coal baron Nathan Tinkler has declared his family trust is worth $1.4 billion, but he admits he is ''asset rich, cash poor''.
In the year ending 2011, Mr Tinkler's taxable income was just $9834. He expects it to be about the same next time, he revealed on Friday during a liquidator's examination of his failed private entity, Mulsanne Resources.
Mr Tinkler was being grilled in the Supreme Court in Sydney over Mulsanne's failure to pay a $28.4 million debt, but was later asked to detail his personal finances.
Tinkler Group Family Trust, he said, had assets worth about $1.4 billion and was controlled by his wife, Rebecca, who could distribute money to him tax free.
''Is that what happens?'' asked Robert Newlinds, SC, for the liquidator. ''Your wife gives you money from time to time?''
Mr Tinkler said: ''I'm very lucky, yes.''
The trust was established before the former mine electrician, 36, hit pay dirt, selling his stake in Macarthur Coal in 2008 for $440 million.
Mr Newlinds asked Mr Tinkler how much he might draw from
the fund at a time. He wasn't
sure. Could he round it to the nearest $100,000? No. The nearest million? No.
Asked if his wife was the unit holder or trustee, Mr Tinkler said he believed so, but he would need to check the details.
He said they had a total of about $250,000 in bank accounts. But Mr Tinkler also agreed that he was asset rich but cash poor.
The assets in the family trust included Patinack Farm, the horse stud that he valued at $100 million after debts - ''at least''.
They also included a major stake in Whitehaven Coal, Hunter Ports, Hunter Rail and copper explorer Aston Metals.
Mr Tinkler said the value of Tinkler Group was "not really" linked to the Whitehaven share price, which closed at $2.36 on Friday - down more than 25 per cent this year and less than half the $5.58 peak after last year's merger with listed Aston Resources and private Boardwalk Investments.
Mr Tinkler owns 196 million Whitehaven shares, which, at today's price of $2.34, makes his stake worth about $463 million.
Mr Tinkler said the stock was a "very illiquid" stock and it was "very hard to get a large strategic stake" in Whitehaven.
The numbers swirling around Friday's evidence clashed at times. Mr Newlinds turned Mr Tinkler's mention of $1.4 billion for the trust into $1.2 billion at next mention. He asked Mr Tinkler if that included liabilities. Yes, about $600 million. So that left a net worth of $600 million, Mr Tinkler agreed.
Earlier in the day, Mr Tinkler had put the total debts for the Tinkler group at ''probably around $500 million''.
Mr Tinkler has told the court that, as the global price for coal collapsed, he discovered he could not raise the money to fulfil the deal from financiers or, from his preferred source, by selling his royalty stream from the Middlemount coalmine to the Noble Group. Noble owns 51 per cent of Blackwood.
The coal boss reckoned he had a verbal agreement with Noble director Will Randall, and that they had done much bigger deals in the past this way.
But Mr Newlinds - challenging this claim - persistently quizzed Mr Tinkler on why he kept ''no email, no letter, no note'' that recorded these discussions.
A day before the deadline to settle on July 19 last year, Mr Tinkler told the court he could not reach Mr Randall.
He ''just went off line … I pretty quickly worked out I had been hung out to dry''.

Short-eared tree porpoise
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The short-eared tree porpoise (Coryisynthionythustikicus malawi, synonym C. dibbabathtubulus), also referred to as a goobler, is a medium to large sized toothed whale in the mammal family. Females of the species typically measure between four and eight feet long nose to tail and may weigh upwards of five hundred pounds. Males rarely surpass three feet in length and are considerably more gracile than their mates at only 45 - 60 pounds. Unlike most other toothed whales, notably orcas and dolphins, the goobler is fairly independant from the water, getting most of what it needs from its diet. Also unusual (although not unheard of) for a toothed whale is the short-eared tree porpoise's tree-dwelling habits and it's fondness for citrus fruits, especially kumquats and tangelos.
edit Appearance
The short-eared tree porpoise quite closely resembles it's closest living relative, the killer whale, or a snake or a school bus, but in this species the ears have been reduced to mere nubs, rarely more than eight inches long. The animal's long, sinuous body has also adapted for an arboreal lifestyle, and thus while an aquatic porpoise has floppy fins quite inadequate for tree climbing, the short-eared tree porpoise has powerful fins with long, curved claws highly suited for tree climbing. The short-eared tree porpoise also has a series of horizontal black stripes running along its flanks, with white or rarely salamander-pink patches around its eyes. These are believed to confuse predators such as owls and allow the porpoise a speedy escape into the forest canopy.
edit Habitat and Behavior
The short-eared tree porpoise lives in the humid, subtropical rainforests of India and Wyoming. Here it rarely, if ever touches the ground, preferring instead to swing effortlessly from tree to tree by means of it's long, prehensile tail and muscular forehead. Females usually live in small family groups while males, highly aggressive as adults, are usually solitary but may when young travel in small bachelor herds as well, similar to cheetahs but without the stupid spots. The short-eared tree porpoise lives in tree hollows abandoned by other animals, usually the pileated woodpecker, where it makes an intricate nest out of twigs, mud and baby orangutan skin, which is stripped carefully from the baby orangutan as it sleeps. The animal is also primarily nocturnal, rarely leaving it's urine-saturated home during the day, unless it has pups to feed.
The short-eared tree porpoise is very well adapted for a rainforest life. Not only does it have a prehensile tail and sharply clawed flippers but also a greatly enlarged dorsal fin that allows the porpoise to glide gracefully for up to three feet in ideal conditions. The porpoise also has exceptional eyesight and phenomenal hearing, allowing it to spot a predatory fox over eleven miles away and hear it breathe from over 25 miles away. However, the short-eared tree porpoise is particularly lacking as far as its sense of smell, and thus it's main predators can be as odorous as they wish without risking losing a meal.
The short-eared tree porpoise, like some other whales, is a very capable swimmer. Nevertheless, the animal is very hydrophobic and will enter the water only when absolutely necessary, such as when pursued by a dingo. Despite its swimming abilities, if the porpoise finds itself in water more than 2 - 3 inches (some centimeters) in depth, it will certainly drown.
Unlike virtually all other cetaceans, tree porpoises cannot echolocate. However, it is thought they can predict the future, at least to an extent (see below).
edit Diet
Predominately herbivorous, the short-eared tree porpoise has a very specialized niche and as such it has a very specific diet. Over 80% of the porpoise's calories come from grains that grow in open meadows, mostly oats but also wheat and rice. It also eats a large amount of fruits, mainly citrus but also plums, peaches, and nectarines. When available, the short-eared tree porpoise will also eat the leaves from some trees, the bark from most trees, butternut squash, and celeriac and if necessary it will also eat mud, preferably with a high dirt content as opposed to mud that is mostly water. Recent research indicates that the short-eared tree porpoise may be more omnivorous as once thought, with recently beached specimens being found to contain both turtles and monkeys in their stomachs as well as the more typical plant matter.
edit Reproduction
Reproduction in the tree porpoise is quite similar to that of most other marine mammals, except that tree porpoises do it hanging upside from tree branches.
A male tree porpoise, blushing bright blue, hangs upside from their preferred branch and waits silently for a female to pass. If she does, he sends out his long, slimy chin tentacles, often eleven feet long and coated in barbed spines that inject neurotoxic venom into whatever they touch, and pulls her towards him. For little understood reasons, she often resists, squealing and biting viciously with her thousands of needle-like mandibles while pooping copiously all over the male, screaming increasingly loudly in complete terror and often reducing his limbs and face to bloody stumps, but if he can hold on for eleven or so hours, she may calm down or die and they begin to copulate, sometimes for up to a minute.
Then the porpoises separate and go there own ways. The male may service up to one female in a particularly good season but usually mates with fewer. The female, meanwhile, will go down to the ground and dig a burrow. The burrow may go four-hundred feet down into the soil, and at the end will be a small cavity lined with dry grass, soft feathers, and dried leaves plucked from her own breast. She may now enter a state of semi-dormancy, her heartbeat and respiration slowing considerably or even ceasing altogether, for up to four months, during which time she does not eat, drink, or urinate but may poop over seven hundred times per day. When she wakes, she will also have given birth to either three or nine little poopy purple puplets, only as big as guinea pigs but fully-furred and already equipped with the 5,000 odd sharp teeth they will use later in life.
Like most other puplets, those of the short-eared tree porpoise have a faint lemony fragrance when crushed and a peculiar sweet yet earthy flavor, reminiscent of chives or cilantro, when broiled or otherwise cooked. The young puplets of the short-eared tree porpoise in particular, while somewhat more likely to squeal and cry pitifully during slaughter than similarly-sized potatoes, are nevertheless delicious cooked in their own tears and served with a good red wine. Of course, puplets of any sort rapidly lose their sweet, creamy texture and herbal undertones and become bland and mealy after their third or fourth week of life, when they are weaned, but careful harvesting and preparation can prevent such from happening.
If not harvested, the newborn puplets drink up to twice their body weight of mother's very salty milk daily, gaining upwards of ten pounds a week for the first two weeks and thirty or forty pounds per week thereafter. They open their eyes at three weeks old, at which time the mother usually carries them from their birth nest to a new one, usually in a meadow, so they can learn to forage. The mother carries each individual puplet by the scruff of its neck for up to five hundred miles to the new nest. She is usually gone so long with the first puplet the others die of starvation or are taken by scavengers in her prolonged absence. After a month in their new nest, the surviving pups are about 100 pounds and the mother stops offering her milk. The puplets begin to nibble the fruits and grains they will eat as adults and by their sixth week they are eating on their own. They are then abandoned, fully able to fend for themselves.
edit The Young Short-eared Tree Porpoise
The young tree porpoise, although fully capable of fending for itself, will not shed its fluffy purple pelt and develop the smooth silky one of its parents until it is three years old and its fine motor skills are fully developed. Until then, it also unable to climb. Instead, the young porpoise shuffles about on the forest floor in small groups, eating mostly grubs and sand and watching out for carnivorous leopard-lemurs which might like to eat it and often do. Eventually, the porpoise's fins become stronger, and its prehensile tail more grabbier, and only then does the little porpoise take to the trees for safety. Once arboreal, the porpoise is invulnerable to all but the most powerful of predators. And they can possibly predict the future, at least to an extent (see above).

WANDERERS legend Keith Scott said the ramifications of his former side being relegated don't bear thinking about.
The striker's goals were instrumental in Blues achieving Football League status 21 years ago, but the club now face the prospect of dropping back into non-league football after falling to third from bottom of League Two.
Scott said more of the pressure going into Good Friday's showdown with Northampton Town was on the Cobblers - but an away win would have serious consequences for the team he used to play for.
He said the fact Luton Town had taken so long to re-emerge from the Skrill Premier despite their huge financial advantage serves as a warning to Blues' possible future.
The 46-year-old said: "As an ex player and one of those players who were part of that squad that got them in the Football League, myself and everyone connected with the squad will be absolutely devastated if they got relegated. You don't want your club to be in that position.
"The ramifications would be a player exodus. Matt Ingram has had a fantastic season, Josh Scowen has played really well for two seasons, Anthony Stewart has great potential and Max Kretzschmar is regularly putting himself in the starting line-up. These are players who would be comfortable in any League Two side.
"The ramifications of players leaving would be greater than sitting back and thinking, 'Wycombe have got relegated'. To replace those players would be very, very difficult. They've performed exceptionally well for the club.
"I've seen 15 or 16 teams in the Skrill Premier and it's a tough league. Luton have been in that league for five years - it's not an easy league to get out of.
"I'm hoping Wycombe get the result they need to stay in the Football League. If they got relegated, I'm sure I wouldn't be alone in being absolutely gutted."
He added: "With the potential ramifications of the result, I think it's one of the biggest games that the club have had for a long, long time, based on what's at stake.
"Hopefully they won't, but if Wycombe were to lose the game that puts Northampton in the driving seat, with their destiny in their own hands."
But Scott said there was cause for optimism going into the home straight, as Wanderers play the other three sides in the bottom four before the end of the season and face promotion-chasing Fleetwood Town on Easter Monday.
He said: "I was at the home game against Fleetwood and thought Wycombe played exceptionally well, and perhaps should have won the game. Over the course of the season they have done well against the top seven sides."
Scott added: "There's more pressure on Northampton than Wycombe. They have to win the game. It's a bigger game for Northampton - if Wycombe win, it gives them what's effectively a four point cushion because of the goal difference.
"It's not the end of the world if they come away with a draw. That's a good result. If they lose the game, destiny's in Northampton's hands."

Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office homicide detectives identified the victim in an early morning confrontation with two off-duty security guards on Valentine's Day.
Just after 3 a.m. Broward Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the Whispering Palms apartments at 4530 NW 36 Street in Lauderdale Lakes., following a report of a shooting. Upon arriving, deputies found the lifeless body of Sebastian Welds, 22, lying between two cars and the two security guards on scene.
The guards, Joel Dunkley, 22, and Lucien Dixon, 24, work at the apartment complex. Dunkley also lives there.
The co-workers were returning from a night out when they heard loud music coming from a dark-colored sedan parked in the lot. The two security guards approached the vehicle, and Dixon asked Welds to lower the volume. The exchange escalated when Welds stepped out of his vehicle and confronted Dixon. Dunkley saw Welds reach in the direction of Dixon's gun. Dunkley feared for their safety and shot Welds. Both security guards remained at the scene waiting for deputies to arrive and cooperated fully with investigators.
Dunkley and Dixon were armed and both have valid concealed weapons permits. A third security guard, who was on duty and witnessed the incident, provided a corroborating statement to investigators.
Weld's body was transported to the Medical Examiner's Office. His death was ruled a homicide.
The case will be presented to the State Attorney's Office for review.

Kiss Everlasting French
Kiss Everlasting French Reviews
NiceFast and easy, press on tabs are the way for me, I don't use the glue. Nice way to get pretty nails on low budget. Doesn't cause damage to your real nails. Would like to see them come in more colors and designs. They can stay on anywhere from 5-10 day. Coating them with clear polish helps them to last longer. Very good product. — 4 years, 6 months agoEricaC123 | 458 reviews
Addicted to these! Quick and easy manicure!This weekend I tested out the Kiss Everlasting French (Manicure) kit, which comes with 28 nails in 14 different sizes, plus a nail filer, cuticle stick and nail glue. This particular kit can be purchased at many local drugstores for around $6.99. This particular nail set is pretty easy to apply because the tip of the nails have a tab which makes it nearly impossible for you to get nail glue on yo...read moreur fingertips! The application process is pretty easy, clean your nails, remove/push back cuticles, apply glue on nails (natural and fake nails) and then apply. The glue dries almost instantly and the whole process takes less than 7 minutes. I love the way French Tip nails look, they are the ultimate classic look and to me look very elegant, so I LOVE the way these look and feel and also how they apply however the lasting power is something I am not too happy with. Within day two, 1 nail already fell off, day 3 another fell off, by day 4 a total of 5 nails already fell off....which brings me to my overall opinion; these are amazing for a one night event however don't expect these to be on you for the entire week. In addition, the glue does take some work to remove from your original nail, if you want an alternative that does not use nail glue I would suggest the Impress Press On Nails. — 3 years, 2 months agoGlitzGlamBudget | 135 reviews
You HAVE To Try These At Least Once - AMAZING!I learned how to do my own French Manicure at home which was easy and looked good, but my weak nails would always break or split and I had to cut them back all the time. So I decided to try these after seeing a couple videos online that made them look great and reading a blog from a beauty editor that these were her dirty little beauty secret. I LOVE THESE! I got the ones in the Real Short length ...read moreand had to file the sides of some of them to fit my nail beds. I used the glue In the package but have a few bubbles under a few nails due to it being my first time, but I filed the tips to my liking and they look really good and totally pro. Believable length and the mistakes aren't that noticeable. UPDATE: first time lasted 6 days before I could see my real nails growing out, but my nails grow really fast. Also, it was kind of annoying getting them off - soaked them in acetone and they melted off after about a half-hour for each hand. Just be sure to have a metal cuticle pusher to scrape off the remainder. Not sure now if I would use these all the time, because my nails do grow really fast and removing them was not fun. But they stayed on perfectly and NO CHIPPING, which was the best. I will use these often, just not all the time, to avoid weakening my nails with the removal process. Highly recommend! — 4 years agonycmuse | 136 reviews

I'm a RDM. I'm used to carrying around 60+ pieces of equipment for a half dozen or more different gearsets everywhere I go.
But, I don't like it.
I don't like that Sh*t is situational.
I don't like that any item I get at this point is a macro piece that I will literally never see because it blinks on and off after the spell is cast.
I don't like that there isn't a sort of hierarchy of gear sets.
The only thing close to that is Salvage sets, yet still, I'm pretty sure for any job, someone fulltiming a salvage set and doesn't swap gear, and someone who has no salvage gear, but swaps their equipment all the time, the player with no salvage gear is going to do better. That seems, well that seems kinda stupid. (frustration with completing salvage gear aside, that's a different story). The "best" gear in the game is trumped by essentially being able to wear every other piece of gear in the game at the same time.
The thought that I can change my entire outfit, including jewelry, hats capes etc twice in a half second is ok for a game, but it sure isn't realistic. I know fighting dragons isn't realistic, but FFXI (and FFXIV) are more low fantasy than high fantasy, so a sense of realism is a little important.
I'd like to see gear done a little differently this time around. I think it's just fine to have gear that is genuinely good, better, and best. With new Best-er gear coming out with version updates/expansions obviously. With ways to customize gear to some extent. They are probably aware they were on the right track with the augment system. I hate to be the guy who keeps saying "WoW did such and such, you should copy it" but something like the socket and gem system, where armor has slots that you can equip specific gems to to give you stat bonuses was a good way to add player customization to gear, and you can still have super-omg-wtf-rare attachments. Call them crystals and it fits with the series, ****, call it materia and you pretty much just win.
I'm used to gear swaps in XI because that's how the game plays, but I think it should be toned down a bit next time around.
I'm a RDM, so having a gearset for casting, and a gearset for melee is expected, but I shouldn't be able to switch between the two while going toe to toe with the mob.
