bad product
Posted by paisleyjade on Sep 03, 2011
I was excited about getting this product so as soon as I got it, my children and I decided to take a walk in the woods. My son was sitting and I squirted 1 squirt on his leg and the product splashed off his leg and straight into his eye. This does not spray like an aerosol. It`s like a liquid lotion that should be poured not squirted because it splats everywhere when squirted. The next time I tried to use the product, I squirted it in my own hand away from my daughter. I generously rubbed the product all over my daughter and myself. My daughter complained of the smell but I thought if it works then we can live with the smell, but after walking in the woods we both came home with mosquito bites. The product did not work for either of us. I won`t buy it again.
NOT a bad product. The only DEET-free product that's worked for us
Posted by Reviewer2520432 on Jun 02, 2014
When I saw the "Most Helpful" review was calling this a bad product, I felt a strong counterpoint was in order. After my first child was born, I experimented with just about every DEET-free insect repellent I could get my hands on. Most did not seem to work at all; some seemed to work to a limited degree. This All-Terrain Herbal Armor formula is the ONLY DEET-free repellent which has worked effectively. We still use it year-round in a near-tropical climate, and it seems to protect against mosquitoes, sand flies, and other pests equally well. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.
Wonderful and effective.
Posted by Reviewer1487068 on Jul 21, 2009
I have a 5-1/2 yr old boy and 20 month old girl and always fear summer because of mosquitos and the West Nile virus. This natural oils, DEET-free product keeps the bugs away from my kids and has a pleasant scent. Great feeling that you can keep bugs away without lathering your kids in chemicals. I have recommended this product to all my friends because it is also very effective on adults.
The best herbal insect repellant I have tried
Posted by Reviewer2286916 on Jul 26, 2009
Living in the chigger and tick infested woods of NC and being a bug magnet is a recipe for many sleepless nights and worry about tick- borne illnesses. Herbal Armor offers great protection - I apply it every 2 hours as recommended and reapply it if I go out later in the day. When I placed my order, the adult version was out-of-stock, the kids version has worked well - from the list of ingredients they are the same product with different packaging. I tried Now's Bug Ban but couldn't stand the smell - Herbal Armor smells quite pleasant - but smell is very individual, some reviewers like the way Bug Ban smells while others don't.
Great but spray could be better
Posted by shoppingmama on Mar 08, 2014
this stuff really works. Only downside it was more of a squirt, than a spray. So it's very hard to apply evenly without using hands to spread. I find this very inconvenient. And it makes spraying on kids' clothes harder since it doesn't come out as a mist. >>>>>>>>>>> Click on my page link above to read about my favourite iherb purchases for my family.

Strong Smell. TG it's natural!
Posted by Reviewer2232318 on Sep 28, 2009
I bought this for my 3yr old who is always attracting mosquitos. It seems to work, but the smell is very strong, like I just sprayed her with Pledge wood cleaner. If it wasn't natural I might not use it because of the smell, but it does seem to work by keeping the bugs away. She doesn't seem to mind the smell and it does go away a little bit in about an hour.
Very nice!

This is a must to prevent mozzies from the little ones. I like it that it is also gentle on the skin.
Faulty Pump
Posted by RubiesHealth on Jul 03, 2012
I like the smell and the cooling effect on the skin but am disappointed by the pump. I cannot pin point any possible damage caused by shipping but it cannot dispense in a spray from day one. The liquid content just leak from all angles. It is also not very effective against mosquitoes. I still get bitten within 2 hours of application! Now I am using it for bathroom aromatherapy instead.

Palm Beach is full of beauty gurus. But few do it better than Anushka Blau. The owner of Anushka Spa, Salon & Cosmedical Centre in West Palm Beach, Blau recently opened La Barre by Anushka (561-833-9393). Inspired by a method developed by the late dancer Lotte Berk, the workout combines ballet, yoga, Pilates and core strengthening. Lauren Kornblum, co-founder of La Barre, was trained in the principles of Berk's method and excels in helping students reach their full potential, something I experienced firsthand when attending one of the classes.
To describe myself as a workout novice would be an understatement. Sure, I am a card-carrying gym member, but my fitness prowess begins and ends at the treadmill. My anxieties abated when I learned some of Lauren's students travel from afar just to study the method.
Under Kornblum's guidance, the hour-long class flies by. Pilates-inspired stretches lead into more intense moves on the barre. Exercises on the barre and floor as well as training with bands and weights are all designed to tone muscles and build endurance. Shaking limbs are normal (as I discovered), and first-timers are encouraged to listen to their bodies, though the class is designed for all levels.
Kornblum ends the workout with yoga and a few moments of meditation. I left feeling slightly exhausted but fully rejuvenated. La Barre is the perfect exercise for those looking to sculpt, improve flexibility and enjoy camaraderie with a supportive group of fitness fans.

Creating its own monopoly
Somewhere along the line, the idea behind the Western Area Water Supply Authority has changed, and certainly not for the better.
The purpose of WAWS was to create a rural water system to provide infrastructure and water to cities in western North Dakota. The system would be at least partially funded by selling water to oil companies for fracking. That's the theory behind WAWS, but that's no longer the reality.
The state Senate passed SB 2359 during the legislative session, which essentially makes it illegal for private businesses to compete with the state-funded WAWS water depots in western North Dakota. The legislation says that after July 1, 2013, private businesses cannot sell water for industrial purposes within a 10-mile radius of any of the 12 state-approved water depots unless the firms already have facilities and state water permits in place.
In other words, the state is using its authority to prevent competition with state-supported WAWS facilities, and that's simply wrong and an abuse of power.
We have no issue with the premise of WAWS, which was to provide water to communities having difficulty maintaining adequate municipal water supplies. And we have no problem with WAWS water depots selling water to oil industry firms for use in fracking. But passing legislation to eliminate the state's competition is unacceptable. If the state is allowed to do this, where does the abuse of power end? Will the state get into other businesses and then enhance its business opportunities by eliminating the competition? The state should not be in the practice of helping create monopolies for itself. The Senate should be ashamed.

Íñigo López de Mendoza, the Marqués de Santillana
Íñigo López de Mendoza, the Marqués de Santillana 1398-1458
Spanish poet and literary patron.
The following entry provides criticism on Santillana's works from 1967 through 1996.
The Marqués de Santillana is an important literary figure of fifteenth-century Spanish poetry and is credited with composing the first Petrarchan style sonnets in Spanish, referred to as the Sonetos fechos al modo (circa 1438-circa 1455), and the first to write formal literary criticism in Castile. In addition to these accomplished firsts, Santillana's allegorical poem, Comedieta de Ponça (1436) marks the first Spanish ars poetica. Although much of Santillana's work enjoyed significant prestige during his lifetime, Santillana is best known today for the composition of his serranillas, many of which can be found in anthologies and histories dealing with Spanish literature. Santillana's work, which is extensive and varied, was significantly influenced by the works of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, making his body of poetry representative of the transition between medieval and Renaissance Spanish literature. While Santillana's poetry mainly deals with the topics of love, politics, morals, and religion, many critics point out that evidence of Santillana's artistic merit lies in the formality, thematic variety, and extensiveness of his work, all of which demonstrate that he was a dedicated poet. Not only is Santillana considered one of the most enthusiastic and talented Spanish poets of his time, he is also considered a great literary patron. At a time when his country was experiencing political and social unrest, Santillana supported the translations of many Greek and Latin classics into Castilian and used his poetry as a voice of counsel and consolation in an effort to encourage intellectual and cultural progress in his country.
Biographical Information
Santillana was born Íñigo López de Mendoza on August 19, 1398, at Carrion de Los Condes in Old Castile. He was born into a talented family of writers that introduced him to writing early in his life. His father, Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, was a grand admiral of Castile but enjoyed writing poetry occasionally, and his uncles, Pérez de Guzmán and López de Ayala, were also talented writers. Santillana's father died when he was five years old, but his mother, Leonor de la Vega, made sure Santillana received the best education she could provide, along with tutors who would influence him well, among them Chancellor Pedro López de Ayala, a prominent writer and man in Castile at the time. From his eighteenth year on, Santillana became a well-known figure in the court of King Juan II of Castile. His involvement in the court and his country's politics allowed him to establish relationships with other writers and intellectuals of his time, and provided him with an opportunity to write his own poetry. In 1412 he married Catalina de Figuera, and the couple had ten children. Throughout his lifetime Santillana distinguished himself as a skillful politician and a courageous member of the military. For his role in the battle of Olmedo on May 19, 1445, he was granted the titles of Marqués de Santillana and Conde del Real de Manzanares, the former for which he is best known. After King Juan II died in 1454, Santillana left public affairs for the most part, and devoted himself to the pursuits of literature and religious meditation until he died on March 25, 1458 at Guadalajara.
Major Works
Today, the most popular and widely studied of Santillana's works are his serranillas (circa 1423-circa 1440). Eight of the serranillas were written to stand alone, and two represent stanzas from larger collective poems where various authors contributed. These ten poems have distinctive courtly and pastoral elements. Structurally the poems are not difficult, but they do contain innovative features and have a certain musical quality, elements on which many critics have focused studies. Three additional poems that receive great critical attention are El triunfete de amor (circa 1437), El sueño (circa 1437), and Infierno de los enamorados (circa 1437). Each of these poems is an allegorical work about love, and they are the most famous of Santillana's decires, which are defined as love or praise poems. At one time, these three poems were referred to as Santillana's erotic trilogy, but much controversy exists over the order in which the poems should be read, and many current critics disagree that the poems actually represent a true trilogy. These poems and the serranillas demonstrate several innovative writing techniques in Spanish literature of the time. Where some of Santillana's works tend to have a more lighthearted tone, others, typically his later works, demonstrate larger structural complexities and contain more social, political, and religious commentary. For example, the Comedieta de Ponça is one of Santillana's longer poems and is considered a historical or political poem describing the defeat of the Aragonese fleet by Genoese in August of 1435 near the island of Ponça. This poem is one of Santillana's more complex works and is the first documented use of narrative fiction in Spanish literature. Another unique contribution to Spanish literature is seen in the poem Proverbios o Centiloquio (1437). It is considered a moral poem and is unique in the fact that it is the only poem where Santillana provides notes that explain his use of biblical and mythological references. Bías contra Fortuna (1448) is another of Santillana's moral poems, is written in dialogue form, and seems to argue for strengthening royal power. On a different note, Pregunta de nobles (1436) was commissioned to instruct the crown prince of the time on moral lessons aimed at controlling oneself. Although these three poems are connected as part of Santillana's moral poems, each uses a distinctive approach to illustrating the overall themes to the audience. While Santillana has offered a vast contribution to Spanish literature through the previously mentioned poems, he is most widely known for his contribution through the Sonetos fechos al ytalico modo (circa 1438-circa 1455). These poems characterize the first Petrarchan sonnets written in Spanish and represent the bridging between the medieval and Renaissance periods in Spanish literature. Many critics have pointed out that the elements of the Petrarchan style in Santillana's sonnets provide a sort of connective thread to this part of Santillana's work, while incorporating a wide range of topics and themes, adding to their complexity and intrigue for critical study. Above all, the literary work of Santillana is both extensive and diverse and has contributed greatly to the development of Spanish literature.
Critical Reception
Many critics agree that Santillana is one of the most important poets of Spanish literature. Because of the diversity, complexity, and extensiveness of his work, critics have produced a varied body of work involving the poet's oeuvre. For instance, one recent critic, Laura R. Bass (1996) takes a different critical approach to interpreting the pastoral elements of Santillana's serranillas. She states in her essay, "Crossing Borders: Gender, Geography, and Class Relations in Three Serranillas" that Santillana was a true innovator in his poetry through the use of specific geographic descriptions to evoke the mood presented by pastoral elements; something his predecessors had not done. Furthermore, Bass argues that these specific details allow Santillana to place symbolic significance on the geography, endowing the landscape with a male persona. This persona, in turn, comments on the boundaries of aristocratic masculine authority. Other critics have not taken such an analytical and fine-tuned approach to this aspect of the serranillas and instead believe that the geographical specificity lends more to providing local color and a sense of realism than any real symbolic significance. Other critics, such as A. J. Foreman (1974), view Santillana's work from a historical perspective and offer the literary student an informative comparison of the historical content of Santillana's work. In his essay, "The Structure and Content of Santillana's Comedieta de Ponça," Foreman discusses the historical content, as well as the structural elements, of Comedieta de Ponça. He suggests that this poem is the most ambitious of Santillana's pieces and provides the reader with evidence of societal preoccupations of the time. Foreman also discusses the innovations of organization found in the poem, and how these new elements of unity allow Santillana to comment on the historical and moral role of poetry. Like Foreman, David William Foster (1971, 1967) also believes that a historical approach offers an effective method of study for Santillana's work. For instance, Foster considers the possibility that the religious imagery found in Santillana's secular poems reflects fifteenth-century Spain's historical movement to secularization. While many critics, like Bass, Foreman, and Foster, offer favorable analyses of Santillana's work, other critics explore the possibility that some of the poet's contributions to Spanish literature were not as significant. For example, Derek C. Carr (1978), in his essay "Another Look at the Metrics of Santillana's Sonnets," contends that Santillana's effort to introduce the Petrarchan style sonnet into Spain was unsuccessful. Carr suggests that the elements of the sonnets intended to mirror the Italian models do not succeed in either form or content. Despite any disagreement over literary interpretation or historical contribution, the work of Santillana remains an intriguing subject for a broad group of literary critics.

pizzaisgood,Your pizza looks great. As points of clarification, can you tell me 1) which particular KA flour you used, 1) what brand of Kosher salt you used, and 3) what size pizzas you made?Do I detect a pizzatools.com pizza screen in your first photo? Peter
pizzaisgood,Another great looking pizza. I can see the telltale signs of long fermentation in the finished crust.
Btw what is your current favorite recipe for a New York or American style pizza,and do you have a Pizza in Teglia style recipe that you reccomend?
So I know what your looking at could you clarify this for me?
Jeff,I was looking at the irregular surface and mottled coloration of the rim, which is quite typical of a crust that has had good fermentation. If you look carefully, you will also see little blisters. For comparison purposes, take a look at the smooth and uniform surface of the rim of the pizza shown in this post: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6030.msg51667.html#msg51667. That pizza was made using dough with a short fermentation. For more extreme examples of crusts that were based on doughs with long fermentation times, look at the crusts in these posts: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3985.msg37060.html#msg37060 (Reply 35, roughly 6-day old dough), http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3985.msg35370.html#msg35370 (Reply 23, roughly 10-day old dough) and http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3985.msg40092.html#msg40092 (Reply 57, roughly 15-day old dough). An important thing to note is that none of the geriatric doughs used any sugar, so the crust coloration was due entirely to the natural sugars extracted from the flour. To contrast the last three pizzas with another short-term pizza, made in about 3 hours, see the smoothness and uniform coloration of the crust in the pizza shown at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3146.msg27116.html#msg27116 (Reply 28).Peter
pizzaisgood,I am going to make your sauce. I will tell you how it turned out.fb66
I am reading alot about baking the pizza, I like your recipes of the dough and the sauce, what can i expect with an oven that will only go to 500 deg. Chet
Thanks for the dough recipe! I used it tonight, and it made the best pizzas I've made in over 15 years! BTW- I baked them in a 500 degree (F) oven, and they turned out fine. I didn't time them, I just watched them through the glass oven door. I'd guess they took about 7-9 minutes, give or take a little. For Chet, who asked about using a 500 degree oven- if using a stone, quarry tiles, etc, be sure to place them in the oven before turning it on, so that they will pre-heat along with the oven. When I slid the pizzas off of the peel onto the stones, they sizzled from the heat of the stones.

The Chic Way To Store Your Pocket Change
In the 1960s, under its founder, Piero Ambrogio Busnelli, B&B Italia pioneered a high-tech approach to furniture manufacturing in Italy that included innovations like cold polyurethane foam molding for upholstery. The Charles modular sofa, designed in 1997 by Antonio Citterio, uses this technology in a clean-lined, reconfigurable design that features single-cushion seats and chaise longue end components. Charles so perfectly captured the minimalist yet comfortable feel of its time that it has spawned countless imitations.
DESIGNER: The Italian architect Antonio Citterio, who opened his own office three years before graduating from the Milan Polytechnic in 1975, is best known for his furniture designs, for B&B Italia as well as for clients like Axor, Hermès, and Vitra. But his architecture firm, Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners, is also known for an international list of building and interiors projects, including a new store in Paris for the French retail chain Le Printemps.
The Shell Chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen & Son in 1963, turned out to be somewhat ahead of its time. The chair, with its boldly-curved molded-veneer seat and three legs, proved too avant-garde for the market, and few were made. But after vintage Shell Chairs brought high prices at auction in the late 1990s, the company began producing them again, and this time they gained a wide following.
DESIGNER: Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) was one of the giants of postwar Danish design. A master carpenter who also studied architecture, Wegner loved working with wood, and was just as interested in the details and construction of a piece of furniture as he was in its form. His furniture designs, some of which were inspired by historic Chinese chairs, epitomized the organic quality of Danish modernism.

I know it's situational, but on the topic of kids buying expensive gear. I know two kids that got jobs cutting grass for two summers to save up for paintball gear and bought stuff that everyone on the field wanted. I say good for them! I know people are referring to the spoiled kids that get expensive gear handed to them. Just figure we should remember that not all the kids had the gear handed to them.
What's the problem with parents buying ur gear? Sure they're spoiled, but if rich parents want to buy expensive stuff for their kids, is that a crime?

Posted 04 February 2012 - 06:05 PM
I did notify the ref and owner the ref said talk to owner, but the owner at the field said he couldnt do anything. because when someone who is sponsered by the field like they were can do anything. i was shot in the back of the head with the velocity turned up and told the owner. but since they were sponsored they didnt do anything. yeah terrible owner. but its the cheapest field around. and sometimes its the co owner who is there and does stuff.
man that sucks the first time i played i got bonus balled by a bunch of pricks like that. but they got kicked out. you should probably try a dif field

A bit of a necropost. I still want to know what field this is since I'm located in NJ. I don't want to ruin the day of paint balling because of some douchebags
Happened at my local field. But I notified the ref that there was a player shooting hot and they eventually caught the guy and he got kicked out and banned from the field. I really hate seeing this kind of stuff. Poor kids

Well, this week at my field we saw that there were a group of 5 kids that it was their first time. and something stupid that they did was all of them bought rotors, the most expensive tanks, and masks, and they had egos, bob long g6rs, and one had a geo. well it was all their first time at a field, and we said we would play them, well another group of regulars join in and we start playing. after the first maybe 2 minutes, we heard someone either crying or something, so i go over and the bunker across from me i see one of the kids holding his neck and head. so i drop my gun and rush over to check him. when i get there i see one large mark, bleeding on his neck, and his head is bleeding. so i tell him to keep his mask on and i rush over to the ref. games is off, and we go back to the resting area. Someone had their pressure way too high so i see the other guys over at another bench ( the regulars) switching their pressure. so after the crono we go back out. next round all the kids are on the ground whining. game over, almost all the welts and marks were bleeding. so the kids call their parents to pick them up. they all said thier selling their gear and getting out of paintball. I felt terrible even tho it wasnt my fault seeing kids walk out dissapointed. and the regulars start laughing. I know how it feels to be shot with the pressure all the way up, but being over shot like that is terrible. so about 5 kids are out of paintball because of cheaters.
Isn't it just terrible when regulars take advantage of new people like that?
At our field we had a sponsored team that all grouped up against one person, unloaded about 15-20 bloody welts on my friend and then claimed he had his pressure up to high when they barely had a bruise. People that play regularly shouldn't be such assholes, we all have to start at some point but there is no need to be dicks about it.

Facebook's Fresh Face: Tech Weekly
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Facebook's (FB) revamped News Feed and anticipation about new Apple (AAPL) products dominated the technology conversation this week.
On Thursday, Facebook unveiled its new News Feed , showing off changes aimed at keeping users more engaged and generating more revenue. Wall Street is decidedly bullish on the changes.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook is "trying to give everyone the best personalized newspaper." It broke up News Feed into several new tabs including All Friends, Music, Photos and Following. The social networking giant wants to make the feed more engaging. At the end of the presentation, Facebook said it was saying "goodbye to clutter," an acknowledgement of user criticism in the past.
With changes rolling out Thursday, the new feed will focus on three things: stories, a choice of other feeds, and mobile and desktop consistency, which could lead to higher advertising rates, according to Hudson Square Research analyst Dan Ernst.
Facebook ended the week marginally higher, closing at $27.96. The company has gained slightly more than 5% so far this year, falling behind the Nasdaq, which is up nearly 8% in 2013.
Elsewhere in the tech world, speculation swirled about new Apple products and ventures, and analysts continued to debate whether the tech giant's stock has bottomed.
Analysts at Barclays and Citigroup continued to trim expectations for Apple's iPhone and iPad sales amid skepticism that the company can maintain its profit margins in the increasingly competitive smartphone and tablet markets.
Citigroup analysts said this week that they're worried about both the iPhone and the iPad, reducing estimates for Apple's two major product lines and saying that end demand is softening.
"Indications of reduced demand to Apple's suppliers contribute to our existing concerns that end demand for 10" iPad and iPhone 5 in particular is softening, reflecting share loss by Apple in both the tablet market and the smartphone market," wrote analyst Glen Yeung, in a report. He cut his price target to $480 from $500, but kept a "neutral" rating on Apple's shares.
Yeung believes Apple's suppliers are seeing reduced demand for iPhone 5 components and he believes this is a result of softer demand for the iPhone 5, as well as the iPhone 4S.
The analyst wrote that expectations hinge on Apple launching the iPhone 5S in the company's fiscal fourth quarter, which ends in June. Even so, he's not expecting much in the way of iPhone 5S production in the fiscal third quarter of 2013, with just 3 million to 4 million units being manufactured,
Barclays Capital analyst Ben Reitzes cut his estimates for Apple's earnings , saying that the second half of the year likely will bring new products and potential carrier additions, such as China Mobile (CHL) and NTT DOCOMO (DCM) .

Testbed Configuration and Testing Methodology
All participating graphics cards were tested in a system with the following configuration:
- Mainboard: Intel Siler DX79SI (Intel X79 Express, LGA 2011, BIOS 0559 from 03/05/2013);
- CPU: Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition, 3.5/4.0 GHz (Sandy Bridge-E, C2, 1.1 V, 2 x 256 KB L2, 15 MB L3);
- CPU cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE (2 x Corsair AF140 fans at 900 RPM);
- Thermal interface: ARCTIC MX-4;
- Graphics cards:
- MSI GeForce GTX 780 OC Gaming 3 GB (N780 TF 3GD5/OC, 954/1006/6008 MHz);
- Palit GeForce GTX 760 JetStream 2 GB (NE5X760H1042J, 1111/1176/6208 MHz);
- Zotac GeForce GTX 760 AMP! Edition 2 GB (ZT-70402-10P, 1111/1176/6208 MHz);
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 2 GB (980/1033/6008 MHz).
- System memory: DDR3 4 x 8 GB G.Skill TridentX F3-2133C9Q-32GTX: 2133 MHz / 9-11-11-31 / 1.6 V;
- System drive: Crucial m4 256 GB SSD (SATA-III,CT256M4SSD2, BIOS v0009);
- Drive for programs and games: Western Digital VelociRaptor (300GB, SATA-II, 10000 RPM, 16MB cache, NCQ) inside Scythe Quiet Drive 3.5" HDD silencer and cooler;
- Backup drive: Samsung Ecogreen F4 HD204UI (SATA-II, 2 TB, 5400 RPM, 32 MB, NCQ);
- System case: Antec Twelve Hundred (front panel: three Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe S-Series MF12-S2 fans at 1020 RPM; back panel: two Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentPRO PL-1 fans at 1020 RPM; top panel: standard 200 mm fan at 400 RPM);
- Control and monitoring panel: Zalman ZM-MFC3;
- Power supply: Corsair AX1200i 1200 W (with a default 120 mm fan);
- Monitor: 27" Samsung S27A850D (DVI-I, 2560x1440, 60 Hz).
For our 2-way SLI tests we used the cards from Palit and Zotac after increasing the clock frequencies of the former to the level of the latter:
We are going to compare the performance of the overclocked tandem against the factory overclocked MSI GeForce GTX 780 OC Gaming 3 GB graphics card, and the performance advantage demonstrated by the fastest GeForce GTX 760 will be estimated against that of the reference card:
In order to lower the dependence of the graphics cards performance on the overall platform speed, I overclocked our 32 nm six-core CPU with the multiplier set at 48x, BCLK frequency set at 100 MHz and "Load-Line Calibration" enabled to 4.8 GHz. The processor Vcore was increased to 1.38 V in the mainboard BIOS:
Hyper-Threading technology was enabled. 32 GB of system DDR3 memory worked at 2.133 GHz frequency with 9-11-11-31 timings and 1.6V voltage.
The test session started on July 19, 2013. All tests were performed in Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 with all critical updates as of that date and the following drivers:
- Intel Chipset Drivers 184.108.40.2067 WHQL from 03/27/2013 for the mainboard chipset;
- DirectX End-User Runtimes libraries from November 30, 2010;
- Nvidia GeForce 326.19 beta driver for Nvidia based graphics cards;
- AMD Catalyst 13.6 beta 2 driver from 06/04/2013 + Catalyst Application Profiles 13.5 (CAP1) for AMD based graphics cards.
We tested the graphics cards performance in two resolutions: 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. The tests were performed in two image quality modes: "Quality+AF16x" – default texturing quality in the drivers with enabled 16x anisotropic filtering and "Quality+ AF16x+MSAA 4x(8x)" with enabled 16x anisotropic filtering and full screen 4x or 8x antialiasing, in those cases when the average fps rate remained high enough for comfortable gaming experience. We enabled anisotropic filtering and full-screen anti-aliasing from the game settings. If the corresponding options were missing, we changed these settings in the Control Panels of Catalyst and GeForce drivers. We also disabled Vsync there. There were no other changes in the driver settings.
This time we are going to drop the old Metro 2033: The Last Refuge game from the list of benchmarks, since the new Metro: Last Light has already stepped in to completely replace it and has been updated to version 1.0.5. A few other games have also been updated. Now our benchmarking suite includes two popular semi-synthetic benchmarks and 11 resource-consuming games of various genres:
- 3DMark 2013 (DirectX 9/11) – version 1.0, benchmarks in "Cloud Gate", "Fire Strike" and "Fire Strike Extreme" scenes;
- Unigine Valley Bench (DirectX 11) – version 1.0, maximum image quality settings, AF16x and(or) MSAA 4x, 1980x1080 resolution;
- Total War: Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai (DirectX 11) – version 1.1.0, built-in benchmark (Sekigahara battle) at maximum graphics quality settings and enabled MSAA 8x in one of the test modes;
- Battlefield 3 (DirectX 11) – version 1.4, all image quality settings set to "Ultra", two successive runs of a scripted scene from the beginning of the "Going Hunting" mission 110 seconds long;
- Sniper Elite V2 Benchmark (DirectX 11) – version 1.05, we used Adrenaline Sniper Elite V2 Benchmark Tool v18.104.22.168 BETA with maximum graphics quality settings ("Ultra" profile), Advanced Shadows: HIGH, Ambient Occlusion: ON, Stereo 3D: OFF, two sequential test runs;
- Sleeping Dogs (DirectX 11) – version 1.5, we used Adrenaline Sleeping Dogs Benchmark Tool v184.108.40.206 with maximum image quality settings, Hi-Res Textures pack installed, FPS Limiter and V-Sync disabled, two consecutive runs of the built-in benchmark with quality antialiasing at Normal and Extreme levels;
- Hitman: Absolution (DirectX 11) – version 1.0.446.0, built-in test with Ultra image quality settings, with enabled tessellation, FXAA and global lighting;
- Crysis 3 (DirectX 11) – version 22.214.171.1240, all graphics quality settings at maximum, Motion Blur amount – Medium, lens flares – on, FXAA and MSAA4x modes enabled, two consecutive runs of a scripted scene from the beginning of the "Swamp" mission 110 seconds long;
- Tomb Raider (2013) (DirectX 11) – version 1.1.743.0, we used Adrenaline Benchmark Tool, all image quality settings set to "Ultra", V-Sync disabled, FXAA and 2x SSAA antialiasing enabled, TessFX technology activated, two consecutive runs of the benchmark built into the game;
- BioShock Infinite (DirectX 11) – version 22.214.171.124455, we used Adrenaline Action Benchmark Tool v126.96.36.199, two consecutive runs of the built-in benchmark with "Ultra" and "Ultra+DOF" quality settings;
- Metro: Last Light (DirectX 11) – version 1.0.5, we used built-in benchmark for two consecutive runs of the D6 scene. All image quality and tessellation settings were at "Very High", "Advanced PhysX technology was enabled, we tested with and without SSAA antialiasing;
- GRID 2 (DirectX 11) – version 184.108.40.20604, we used built-in benchmark, graphics image quality settings were at their maximum in all aspects, the tests were run with and without MSAA 8x antialiasing with eight cars on the Chicago track;
- Company of Heroes 2 beta (DirectX 11) – version 18.104.22.16804, two consecutive runs of the integrated benchmark at maximum image quality and physics effects settings.
If the game allowed recording the minimal fps readings, they were also added to the charts. We ran each game test or benchmark twice and took the best result for the diagrams, but only if the difference between them didn't exceed 1%. If it did exceed 1%, we ran the tests at least one more time to achieve repeatability of results.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (241 votes).
In short: Loved this race, fantastic organisation, loads of marshals and water stations, definitely scope for a PB if it had been a little coolerDate of review: April 19, 2011
In short: Very well organised, lovely setting, fast and flatIn full: This was my first half and I was pretty slow, but really happy to have finished. The communication from Dene has been excellent - keeping in touch for a few months beforehand, and race pack sent out at Christmas. I liked the mug and although I like medals, this is something I will use and it will remind me of the run. Also the t-shirts are great, low priced and everyone's name in a list on the back - unique! Will definitely do again next year - need to get some new trainers before then though, and a bit more training!Date of review: April 15, 2011
Date of review: April 14, 2011
In short: Should be fast as its so flat but the hot weather conspired against me this yearDate of review: April 14, 2011
In short: ExcellentIn full: Many thanks to the photographer capturing me looking like death! Too hot for me and outside my PB but I'll definitely race again. I liked the mug over a medal and t-shirts were very reasonably priced. Many thanks to the villagers and chaffinches (it was rural) for their support. Great marshals. A really good low-numbered run and a great change from a city half. Thanks to all involved. Excellent.Date of review: April 13, 2011
In short: Really enjoyable race with perfect organisationIn full: A very hot day dictated that I would be taking a slow trot round for this race and I enjoyed it all the more. Fantastic marshalls, perfectly placed and plentiful water stations, and welcome support from the locals when we passed through the several villages on route. Definately one to do again.Date of review: April 12, 2011
In short: Fast and flat, excellent organisation, Marshalls and locals among the best anywhereIn full: Thanks once more to the organisers for putting together another wonderful race. A tad hot for me at this time of year and had to stop for a couple of mins to hydrate properly. Still manged to take 4 mins off my PB though!Date of review: April 11, 2011
In short: Very well organised and a lovely route. Excellent race.In full: Very enjoyable - good route, well marshaled and a scattering of enthusiastic support around the route. Someone amongst the organisers must be well connected to have been able to arrange the great weather too, though 10 degrees cooler would have suited better! Definitely a good PB opportunity - I took a minute off my PB which was from this same race 4 years ago.Date of review: April 11, 2011
In short: Excellent!In full: A fantastic race.Brilliantly organised, very friendly, a flat, fast course, top value for money, an incredible day's running.Much too hot for my liking but good water support and just missed my 1:35pb.Ten out of 10 to White Horse Harriers, a magnificent half-marathon staged by real runners for real runners.Date of review: April 11, 2011
In short: Excellent, well organised, value for moneyIn full: Fast and flat was promised and it certainly was, I got a PB by 2 mins. Marshalls were plenty and very supportive, water stations well manned. Lovely sunny finish on the village green. A great race.Date of review: April 10, 2011

Very fast working!
Posted by Reviewer1818192 on Dec 25, 2011
Huperzine Rx-Brain works for me in less than an hour. VERY powerful and I have to take only half of the pill for 3 days in a raw, then make a break, for liver relief (it starts hurting). Then I can take it again and it really helps to use my mind, restore short term memory and improve my mood. Great product. I haven't found so far nothing better working than that, just be aware of the dosage.
Well please with product not the way pack in bottle.
Posted by Reviewer2197389 on Dec 18, 2010

Huperzine worked great. I only used one bottle and haven't re-upped yet but I did notice an improvement in mental clarity, focus, sharpness, and energy. Good product.

IRS may owe refunds to 32,100 Ohioans from 2009
The Columbus Dispatch - March 14, 2013 02:17 PM
The Internal Revenue Service says 32,100 Ohioans who did not file tax returns for 2009 may be owed $26.7 million in refunds.
The median refund is $561.
Nationwide, nearly 1 million people may be eligible for refunds totaling $917 million, according to the IRS.
To get the refund, a return for 2009 must be filed by April 15. Otherwise, the government keeps the money. The law gives taxpayers a three-year window to claim a refund.
The IRS says some people may not have filed a return because their income was so low they weren't required to file a tax return even though they had taxes withheld from their wages or made quarterly estimated payments. By not filing a return, many low-to-moderate income workers also may be missing out on the Earned Income Tax Credit that helps individuals and families with incomes below certain levels.
The IRS warns that those who seek a 2009 refund could have that money withheld if they haven't filed a tax return for 2010 or '11. The money also could be taken if they owe taxes to the IRS or the state or if they have unpaid child support or past due federal debts including student loans.

Family loses Lake Street home to fire
National Guard engineers will conduct convoy training in Saranac Lake area
SARANAC LAKE – The New York National Guard's 1156th Engineer Company will conduct convoy training in the Saranac Lake area on Friday, using the New York State Armory here as a base.
Local residents may see military convoys of 5- and 10-ton military dump trucks operating in the area on Friday afternoon and Saturday. The soldiers will not be carrying weapons.
The company is based in Kingston and at the Camp Smith Training Site north of Peekskill.
The change of location allows the company's 120 soldiers to train in a new area and also allows the company to attend a bobsled race at the Mount Van Hoevenberg bobsled course, said Capt. Daniel Colomb, the company commander. The company will conduct recruiting events at the course, he explained.
The convoy training will allow the combat engineers to hone their skills in driving, the 5- and 10-ton dump trucks they have recently been equipped with, tactical communications, vehicle recovery operations, and platoon level planning and operations rehearsals, Colomb said.
The company's headquarters elements will train on tracking subordinate unit movements, preparing and issuing orders, and communications procedures.
The soldiers began their training by conducting weapons qualification at Camp Smith Training Site today, and will then conduct a long-distance convoy up the New York State Thruway and Northway on Friday morning. On Friday afternoon, each platoon will conduct a separate mission in the Saranac Lake region.
