EVGA GeForce GTX 460 2WIN 2GB dual-GPU Graphics Card Review
A Card Unlike Any Other
In all honesty, there aren't many graphics cards that really get our attention these days. There are GPUs that do that - releases like the Radeon HD 6990 and the GeForce GTX 590 get our juices flowing to see what new performance and features they can offer. But in terms of individual vendor-specific designs, there are very few that make us "perk up" much more than just seeing another reference card come across the test bed.
The ASUS ARES dual-5870 card was probably the last one do to that - and for $1200 is better have! EVGA is ready with another card though that definitely made us interested, and for a much more reasonable price of $419 or so.
The EVGA GeForce GTX 460 2WIN is a custom built card that combines a pair of GTX 460 1GB GPUs on a single PCB to create a new level of performance and pricing that we found was unmatched in the market today. And even better, the features improved as well by utilizing the power of both GPUs in an SLI configuration.
Read on and see why the GTX 460 2WIN might be my new favorite graphics card!
A Unique Card Design
While the basic idea of the EVGA GeForce GTX 460 2WIN is easy to grasp, let's take a closer look at the card and see what design options the company took and what lies under the hood.
The GTX 460 2WIN is just a bit longer than the GeForce GTX 590 but is shorter than the Radeon HD 6990 - if you have a very small case you will want to make sure it can fit the 11.5-in length. There is a set of three fans that blow on a pair of heatpipes we'll show you later as well.
You can see along the PCI Express slot that model number of "N460X2-LF" that gives us the idea that there might have been a time when NVIDIA was going to offer this design to more than one vendor.
Each of the two GTX 460 GPUs is given 1GB of memory and you can see half of each GPUs capacity on the back of the card but without any kind of heatspreader at work.
There is a single SLI connector on the card indicating that you can push the envelope even further with a second GTX 460 2WIN card for Quad SLI support or adding in another GTX 460 single GPU card.
UPDATE: After getting some feedback from EVGA on this, it turns out the SLI connection on the card is not actually working at this time. I asked if/when it might be enabled but haven't gotten a response on it yet. A commenter on this article actually pointed out that NVIDIA indicated in its own forums that the inclusion of the connector was a mistake completely but it was too late to have them removed. So...it turns out you are likely going to have to stick with the performance of the GTX 460 2WIN as is.
This board is pretty power hungry though as it requires a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connections and EVGA is recommending a 700 watt PSU!
This is one of the cooler parts of the GTX 460 2WIN card from EVGA - there are three dual-link DVI outputs and a single mini-HDMI output, all of which can be used at the same time without any adapters or dongles. NVIDIA Surround and 3D Vision Surround are supported as well making this one of only a handful of NVIDIA options that can do so with a single card.
As we will see in our testing, the GTX 460 2WIN offers performance similar to that of the GTX 580 card, for less money, while offering support for 4 displays (rather than two) which should really move the card up on enthusiasts' lists.
Removing a handful of screws reveals the three relatively quiet fans cooling the pair of heatpipe based coolers underneath. The coolers themselves are a nice black-ish finish that fit in well with the rest of the card design.
Taking the heatsinks off shows us the bare PCB underneath and the dual GTX 460 GPUs slathered in some thermal paste. Oddly, the far edges of each GPU are untouched which would seem to be counterproductive to getting the most efficient cooling out of the card but it didn't affect our performance at all.
The GPUs are your standard GF104 offerings that stand up well to modern competition like the GTX 500 series and Radeon HD 6000 series. To pair the two GPUs together in an SLI-on-a-card configuration EVGA is using the NVIDIA nForce 200 PCI Express bridge chip that we have seen doing this same job for years and years.
Along the top of the card, right in the middle, the GTX 460 2WIN actually has an EVGA logo that lights up courtesy of an LED, in a very similar fashion to the GTX 590 does with its NVIDIA logo. Since we knew about the EVGA GTX 460 2WIN before the GTX 590 was released, I am going to give the "originality" nod to EVGA here...
Video News
nVidia stated on their forum you can't run this in SLI with any other card, and the SLI prong on the card was a design error which wasn't fixable before the card went to mass production.
Yup, I just got this information from EVGA as well. Updating the article now, thanks for the heads up!
out of brain picking curiosity, how does 2 460s in sli compare to 2 460 on a card? From what I can gleam from previous reviews of 460s in sli, 2win does better than vanilla sli.
Also, does this card require sli on the board that uses it? Like an AMD board?
It should perform identically to a system running regular old SLI. Hardware-wise there is very little that is different.
As for the chipset requirement - that is another good point! You can use this card on an AMD-based platform without issues!
If you're asking if this particular GPU will work on a AMD board, I say, yes. Because it's two GPUs in one PCB. However, you can't run SLI on a AMD board that is not SLI certified. You can only use one Nvidia card on a non-SLI certified AMD board. Is that what you were asking for? I plan on getting this card, instead of two 6870s.
In my opinion I think the 2win does better and runs a bit smoother. Ive seen the setup both ways and the 2win wins!!! You do not need a sli motherboard for this card to work. You may need a patch though for the sli on the card directly to work for the second gpu like I did. sli patch 1.42 beta to activate the sli configurations settings in the nvidia control panel.
Sweat I think me like one.
is it just me or does any one else not real care about power consumption? I look at what the cards going to do for me I never wrong about power consumption.
Temperatures I do keep a bit of a eye on but if it meant have a little more heat to have a great card that a trade off I can make if need. EVGA done a great job on this one. I just hope when I have some money to look getting a new card this is still going to be easy to find.
Great review Ryan thanks.
Yes, for this class of card I think power consumption is less important than PR folks at NVIDIA and AMD want to admit.
Everyone keeps referring to this card as "to win", but I keep calling it "twin" as in twin GPUs. Am I the only one?
Interesting...hadn't thought about that pronunciation.
I had the same thoughts Heavy, seems odd that they would 2Win and not try to link it to twin (GPUS).
Same here guys. Clever idea.
Very good article and interesting card, I do have to say that in EVGA's B-stock listings http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp?switch=20 You can buy a gtx 470 for 209 shipped. With increased frame buffer size and a coming in at about only 10 dollars more. Something tells me that GTX 470s in SLI would would this dual 460 card to shame. I myself have GTX 480s in SLI and am obv in GPU heaven :) -good article guys- extra points for hardest captcha online
Thanks for the comments!
Captcha and commenting SHOULD be better now to. Email me email@example.com if not!
People seem to forget the benefits of this card. It is understandable that 2 470GTX in sli or 2 480GTX in sli would out perform this. However, cards in SLI are only 2 monitor Dual link. Also, you can only utilize 2 monitors at a time in any of the SLIs.
With the 2WIN you get to use 4 monitors, and you get tri-link capabilities. An evga administrator had already noted that the 2WIN was faster than 2 460GTX in SLI due to increased clock speeds.
Another big plus, is for many of the AMD users that do not have SLI capable motherboards, they are able to utilize SLI capability and unlock the 3D Vision aspect. Most of the AMD motherboards are only compatible with Crossfire. And for people that only have 1 PCI-E slot on their mobo.
I should note the clock speeds on the GTX 460 2WIN are NOT faster than reference - higher clocked single GPU cards in SLI would likely be faster.
The gtx 460 2win can overclock pretty nicely too. but A standard gtx 460 comes at 675 mhz while a gtx 2win at 700 mhz. unless you get a overclocked addition from msi or another company then I see your point. I had my gtx 460 2win at 850 mhz stable . I pretty much keep it at 800 oc to keep the heat down but I heard them getting over 900 mhz with voltage tweak. I dont recommend over clocking any of them that high if you want your card to last a longer life. Didnt really see much point to oc to much more than 800 because i most likely already suffering from a slight bottleneck sometimes with my amd phenom II x4 965 3.4 ghz.
I am hoping you are correct on the aspect of using this card in SLI mode even though I have a crosfire motherboard. I just ordered one and I am just waiting to receive it. Just wondering where you found the information saying that an AMD Crossfire board could Utilize the SLI on this card. I figured it could be done because it is only in one PCI-e slot. I tried looking on NVidia for more information about it... If you do know where there is more information, please post a link. :) Ty and happy Gamming!
It is a nice solution for 1 slot pci-e 16x mb owners and amd guys who wish to try sli and have some modern features on their mb but, it is way over priced ,not even talking about rebate i can get a 1gb 460 GTX for 140.If the price gets near the cost of 2 460's I might consider it.I still pin my hopes on a amd chipset with sli support ,as lucid for the time being has let me down
ps currently i am pronouncing it twin if the price comes in line i shall refer to it as To Win
The card is a custom card from evga directly. Everything about the card is custom pretty much. The gtx 460 2win out of the box is faster than 2 gtx 460 in sli due to the increased clock speeds. The sli chip on the the pcb also raises the price a little. You have to remember that this card really was targeted for people that don't have sli certified board or just one pci express slot. It a wonderful solution if you dont want to buy a new mobo and have to reload windows. Well with the price in my opinion. you can get a gtx 460 2win for 369 after rebate and I heard of someone getting a 2win as low as 330. A gtx 460 1gig for 140? Must be the worst brand out there because i haven't seen a decent one for under 189.00
No limited Lifetime warranty on this one. It is a three year one reserved for SKUs ending in 'KR'.
If you order it directly off the EVGA site ($429), they provide a lifetime limited warranty. Authorized retailers are only getting the 3 year limited.
If you register one before a certain date with evga they are offering a 10 year warranty on it for free right now. Who needs more than 10 years of warranty. It like a lifetime in the gaming industry. Even three is enough really.
I don't like how this card has only 1 GB effective memory.
So you can use this SLI internal card on a crossfire MB?
Neat. That is a good selling point. if so I will have to get one. Will the Sli be active or will only one be active?
The 600+ cores alone will keep me ahead for a while. Maxed settings on crysis 2? love to see it in action, lifetime warranty? for sure!
You know for us non-AMD guys- would this card work to bridge the gap for Intel quads?
How does the internal SLi work?
Crossfire board support= YES, kinda you can use one of them
Maxed Setting on crysis 2 = YES
Bridge gap for single slot Intel Boards that want to use SLI NVIDIA POWER = YES
On-board Internal SLI = YES
Cooks Fries and serves popcorn = No but I can do that.
Holy Macaroni I just got this video card on ebay brand new for $330. Yessssssssssssss!
nice well worth it.. make sure to register the card with evga before the end of June I believe to get your free 10 year warranty
Unless they've changed their policy EVGA does NOT honor lifetime warranty on any of their products purchased on eBay. I should know because it happened to me. Can check out my review here--> http://reviews.ebay.com/Lifetime-Warranty-NOT-if-it-apos-s-EVGA_W0QQugid...
I obtained a 10 year warranty with my evga 2win card...
this will be the unicorn of video cards capable of running most applications for the next 5 years, while single cored gpu's will fail within 2-3.
With this GTX 460 2 WIN- Crysis 2 extreme settings- so smooth it is hard to believe. Much better than other game software written for single core GPU, like fable 3, 460gtx 2 win can run it good, but there's frame dragging on the highest settings, which would likely dissapear if you got the GTX 590, but I don't have an extra 300 to toss at that, better to just kick it down a setting and wait for other game developers to catch up with crytek and go full multi-core CPU and GPU support. Thanks EVGA!
I never had any slow downs with the gtx 460 2win on crysis 2. Had it maxed on extreme with vsynch on which removes any tearing. Never went below 50 - 60 fps. Which is more than enough to look buttery smooth. I dont get why people bash crysis 2 . I think it looks better than crysis 1 personally. If they used the made crysis 2 nin the forest two im sure it would seem to have more detail. I could also guarantee that with cryengine 3 it would look significally better than crysis 1.
Hello! I've been reading our weblolg forr soe time noww and finally
got thhe bravery tto ggo ahead and gice yyou a shout out from Kingwood Texas!
Just wanted tto mention keep uup thhe excellent work!
my website - 0.15);box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255 (Clarita)
The gtx 460 2win performs better than two gtx 460 due to the increased clock speeds on the gtx 460 2win. I would like to also mention that for some reason when I installed the gtx 460 2win I had to install a sli patch 1.42 bet for it to recognize the card for enabling sli in the nvidia control panel. Enable sli for the dual gpu on the card not sli for two seperate cards. Not sure if this was because my board was not sli certified and I only have one pci express slot on my board. Just make sure to enable it in the nvidia control panel even though it sees both gpus when you install the latest nvidia drivers 270.61. You should have an option for sli an physics configuration and yo would set it to maximize 3d performance.
What a waste.
If the core can't process information fast enough, doubling a card's memory allotment won't improve performance. Meanwhile, if bandwidth isn't sufficient for the GPU's output, a faster graphics engine will have no effect.
it is the most buitufle grphique garde

We in the northeast have been hit fairly hard by Ol' Man Winter this year...we've had three or four substantial snowfalls already (there are still Snowbankzillas here and there two weeks after the last one), and the temperature often hovers in the single digits (Fahrenheit, that is).
When the winter doldrums set in, I like to dig out upbeat music from warmer climes.
Here's a ten-inch LP that followed me home from a yard sale a few months ago:
It's a demonstration record for the 1956 Admiral hi-fi system...and it's also a soundtrack from the Lowell Thomas Cinerama spectacular Seven Wonders Of the World (that's right...it's two! two! two LPs in one! Sorry. it doesn't have a drop of Retsyn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8zwnXjIjPM should explain the reference to an old Certs commercial to non-Yanks.). There are short snippets from (among others) a Watusi ceremony, an Indian wedding, and an Italian tarantella.
SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD Various artists Admiral Hi-Fi Demonstration Record (unnumbered)
1. "Metropolitan Rhapsody", introduction
2. Train Effect
3. French Can-Can
4. Percussion Effects
5. "Genghis Khan" Indian Sequence
6. Native Elephant School
7. Native Indian Music and Wedding Procession
9. Tarantella
9. Japanese Percussion Sequence
10. Watusi Native Dance
11. Finale - "Metropolitan Rhapsody"
All in all, it's a pleasant fifteen-minute excursion to Somewhere (Anywhere!) Besides New England.
There was something maddeningly familiar (to me, anyway) about the (anonymous) announcer's voice. After the third or fourth intro, I realized that he was Hanna-Barbera voiceman Don Messick.
(A few years after this LP was recorded, Messick did the voice-over for some educational film strips made by the Bowman company...they were probably made for some high school auto shop course. I have three or four of the seven-inch soundtrack discs. Messick is credited properly on those labels. I suppose I could post one or two of them if there's enough intere$t.)
Messick did the voice for Yogi Bear's nemesis Ranger Smith and his little pal Boo-Boo, too. And Boo-Boo, Yogi, Ranger Smith and company are all in the following LP that features soundtracks from four Yogi Bear cartoons. I find it a little unsettling when an unfamiliar announcer's voice (Howard Berk, who also wrote the commentary) describes a scene that doesn't translate well to the audio-only world. Still, it's fun to hear these voices (and music and sound effects too) again. And I've always liked Daws Butler...he's also on that Jim Backus Christmas 45 I posted back in 2007.
YOGI BEAR AND BOO BOO Colpix CP-205
1. Big Brave Bear
2. Robin Hood Yogi
3. Brainy Bear
4. Buzzin' Bear
1961: Daws Butler and Don Messick, voices; Howard Berk, announcer; stock music (by John Seely)
The front cover had all kinds of extra "decoration" left by a previous owner...
...which came off quickly with a paper towel. The LP itself is, to steal a Yogi-ism, cleaner than the average kiddie record.
"Boo-boos" can also mean little mistakes. Hmmm...I can think of lots of this other type of Boo-Boos on record labels...the info on the label has something wrong with it. I think I'll post a couple of them now.
The boo-boos I'm listing here are real honest-to-goodness mistakes...I'm ignoring items that have the wrong label pasted on the record, or records deliberately issued under pseudonymous credits (usually for contractual reasons)...
This one's a bit weird...it's a classic 78 (well-played by the original owner) by the Benny Goodman Sextet. On the label, there's a credit to trombonist George Auld.
Of course, Auld played tenor sax.
In the Russell and Hicks BG On The Record, they report (slightly edited for clarity):
The initial Columbia release, 36099, erroneously credits George Auld with a trombone, not tenor sax. Later releases corrected this mistake, but George had some fun with it while it was current.
CO 29942-2 A Smo-o-o-oth One Benny Goodman Sextet Columbia 36099
CO 29943-1 Good Enough To Keep Benny Goodman Sextet Columbia 36099 http://www.4shared.com/account/audio/V1LF-to4/Benny_Goodman_Sextet_-_Good_En.html
NYC, 13 March 1941: Benny Goodman, clarinet; Cootie Williams, trumpet; George Auld, tenor sax (not trombone); Johnny Guarnieri, piano; Charlie Christian, guitar; Art Bernstein, bass; Dave Tough, drums.
Of course, Good Enough To Keep was quickly retitled Air Mail Special, but that's a different story.
I recently found this pleasant, if not too exciting country record, which was credited to the wrong singer completely!
There really was a "Doc" Roberts who recorded for Gennett and Champion.
For some unknown reason, Decca, who revived Champion in the mid-1930s, reissued two Dick Parman sides, but put them out under Roberts's name!
14492-A Rock All Our Babies To Sleep "Doc" Roberts (actually Dick Parman) Champion 45099
14493-B She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain "Doc" Roberts (actually Dick Parman) Champion 45099
Richmond, Indiana, 1 December 1928: Dick Parman, vocal & guitar; Asa Martin, harmonica.
To be fair to the Decca Champion folks, Asa Martin often played harmonica on records by the real "Doc" Roberts...perhaps that's the reason for the confusion.
More Boo-boos some other time.
In the same little stack of 78s which contained the Roberts/Parman record, I found this very unusual item:
Most Publix records had black and gold labels and drew from Columbia's Harmony/Diva/Velvet Tone dime-store stock, but this is obviously quite different!
This Ballyhoo record was sent to Publix theatres in 1929 to advertise Paramount's new feature, Innocents of Paris, featuring Maurice Chevalier. Columbia must have balked at the idea of using any of the soundtrack featuring Chevalier, who was a Victor artist. So they asked Irving Kaufman, the usual vocalist for the Harmony labels, to sing and announce as well!
176015-1 Innocents of Paris Ballyhoo Uncredited artist (Irving Kaufman) Publix (unnumbered)
NYC 1929: Irving Kaufman (uncredited), vocal and announcement; studio orchestra.
Note the matrix is in that special 17xxxx Personal series Columbia used for paying clients...that Bernie Cummings/Humming Bird Mills Christmas record I posted in 2007 is another.
And the same recording is on the flip side.
Here's a side for Dave Whitney, local trumpeter/vocalist extraordinaire, who also runs a fine blog http://petekellysblog.blogspot.com/ . I know he's a fan of the Three Stooges (I confess that I am fond of some of their short films as well)...I think he'll like this record.
It's the only record that Leroy Shield recorded under his own name. Shield is best remembered for composing and recording all that wonderfully familiar music used in the Hal Roach comedies (Our Gang, Laurel & Hardy, Charley Chase, etc.).
The vocalist on the otherwise snoozy Big Trail is Bud Jamison, who was a regular in the early Stooges shorts. The flip side, the mildly un-PC Sing-Song Girl (James Blackstone is vocalist this time) was covered around thirty years ago by R. Crumb's Cheap Suit Serenaders.
61027-4 Song of the Big Trail Leroy Shield/Victor Hollywood Orchestra Victor 22548
61026-4 Sing-Song Girl Leroy Shield/Victor Hollywood Orchestra Victor 22548
Hollywood, 26 September 1930: Leroy Shield, conductor: unknown personnel; James Blackstone or Bud Jamison, vocals.
That's all folks...

Murder trial postponed until January in case of elderly German journalist killed in DC
WASHINGTON – A murder trial has been postponed in the death of an elderly German journalist and socialite in the District of Columbia.
Albrecht Muth had been scheduled to stand trial starting Monday in the death of his wife, 91-year-old Viola Drath. But online court records show that the trial has now been postponed until next month.
The 49-year-old Muth, a fellow German expatriate, is accused in the August 2011 beating and strangulation death of Drath inside their Georgetown home. He has denied guilt.
The case is being heard in D.C. Superior Court.
Court records show another status conference is scheduled for Dec. 18, and the new trial date is Jan. 6.

- fabric (just follow the instructions in step one to determine exactly how much you will need)
- shirring elastic
- tape measure
- standard sewing equipment
* I am using inches for this tutorial but it works exactly the same in centimeters if this is what you are more comfortable with 1" = 2.54 cm.
The dress consists of two rectangles, easy peasy no pattern needed all you need to do is determine two measurements.
- Wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, do not pull tight you want some ease there so you still have room to breathe and such ;). Write the number down.
- Now take your bust measurement, multiply by 1.5 and add seam allowance (any size you are most comfortable with) mine are 3\8" x 2 = 3\4"
- Divide the outcome by 2
34" x 1.5 + 3\4"= 51 3\4"
51 3\4" : 2 = 25 7\8" I am just going to round that up to 26" once the dress is shirred it will not make much difference.
- Take a tape measure and measure from the top of your bust down to wherever you would like your dress to hit, don't forget to stand up straight!
- Add 1 1\2" seam allowance for the top, and 3" for the bottom hem. This is measurement B
- Cut two rectangles A x B
Step 2 - side seams and hems
- Fold over the top hem by 1\2" twice, press, pin and sew close to the edge.
It is important to finish the top hem before you start shirring because once that is done it will be near impossible to get a straight hem.
- With right sides facing pin side seams and sew. Neaten raw edges with an overlock or zig zag stitch.
- Fold over the bottom hem twice by 1". Press, pin and sew close to the edge. If you are undecided on the length of your dress like me you can save this step till last.
Step 3 - shirring preparation
Now for the fun bit, lets transform this shapeless fabric sack into a dress!
For those of you new to shirring it is nothing more than sewing with elastic in your bobbin case instead of thread. This creates lots of gathering and adds elasticity to your fabric. It is a highly useful technique in dressmaking, it adds shape to your garment without the need for closures, I love it!
The one thing to remember is to always keep your fabric facing right side up when shirring so that the elastic will be on the inside of your garment
- First you will need to wind your bobbins with shirring elastic by hand, do not pull the elastic taut just hold it firmly in your hand and start winding. You want to wind up the bobbins so that the elastic sits firmly but without stretching it. Best not to think too much about it, the elastic is thicker than normal thread so it will go quicker than you think. I like to wind a couple in one go, for this dress I needed 3 bobbins to complete the top.
- Place the bobbin in the bobbin case as usual and pull up the thread.
- Now you will need to play around with some test fabric first to find which settings work best on your machine. As a rule you will want to lengthen your stitch length, I set mine to 3. You may want to slightly lower your upper thread tension, on some machines you may have to set it slightly higher - on mine it stays the same. So again, play around with some test fabric to see what works best for you.
Step 4 - Shirring
- Place your fabric under the presser foot, right side up and start sewing close to the top hem. You can back stitch at the beginning and end as usual.
- Sew parallel lines next to your first line of shirring, using the edge of your presser foot as a guide. I switched the needle to the far left position.
Little mistakes will not matter much they will hardly be noticeable once your dress is done, so do not worry much over a wobbly seam, it will be fine :) If you run out of elastic thread, just back stitch over the bit where you left off and carry on sewing.
How many rows of shirring you need depends on your bust size, I needed 15 rows. Try the dress on a few times to determine from which point you like your dress to flare out, it will be a good few inches above your natural waist line.
At this point you might be a little worried because especially the top hem will look rather untidy. A good press will take care of this in no time!
- Give the right side of the fabric a good steam press, this will fully allow the fabric to succumb to your shirring and pull everything nice and tightly together.
Step 5 -Straps
Strap length, style and width is very much a personal preference. You could easily wear this dress strapless but it also looks great with halterneck style straps or regular shoulder straps.
- Try your dress on with your favourite bra underneath (if that is how you will be wearing yours of course!) now measure how wide the straps need to be to cover up your bra straps. Measure, or better still get someone else to measure, how long the straps should be and place pins where the straps should be sewn to your dress.
- If like me you do not have a helper, make straps longer than you will need and pin them to the back of your dress. Put the dress on and pull the straps towards the front. Check if you pinned the back straps correctly, if not adjust. Once the back of the straps are pinned in place properly it is easy to pin the straps in place on the front.
- Sew the straps on securely and neaten raw edges.
Your dress is now done!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, as always if you make something with one of my tutorials please add photo's to the group pool I love seeing what you come up with!
Congrats if you made it all to here, you are in for a treat! How about a give away with a chance to win some lovely Ruby Star Spring to make your own shirred sundress? Head on over here for a give away and a special offer from MondaysMilk to my readers :)

The long-running horror franchise Resident Evil is not afraid to throw all kinds of gnarly, infected creatures in players' paths, from standard, brain-consuming zombies to mutated brutes with a powerful metal claw for an arm.
Yet none of these represent the most frightening element of Resident Evil 6, the latest chapter in the survival horror tale. The scariest part is the poor attempt at turning this franchise into a full-fledged action game.
Resident Evil 6 has players once again stamping out another viral outbreak threatening to turn humans into infected zombies. This time, it's the C-virus, and players follow the efforts of six characters across three campaigns as they try to vanquish the plague.

There's government agents Leon Kennedy and Helena working for the U.S. government, bioterrorism security group members Chris Redfield and Piers conducting military operations to root out new infected creatures called J'avo. The last pair is Jake Muller -- son of regular villain Albert Wesker -- and Sherry, potentially holding a key to ending the virus all while trying to outrun a claw-wielding beast, the Ustanak.
Each campaign features offline and online cooperative play, as well as crossover sections during which campaigns intersect, allowing four players to work together simultaneously.

Storylines vary on the gameplay front, with Leon's journey serving as the closest resemblance to traditional Resident Evil. The other two feature faster J'avo foes, so there's a lot more action, especially playing as Chris.
At the end of every chapter, players take skill points and use them to bolster their abilities, such as decreasing recoil on weapons or beefing up their defense. Once campaigns wrap up, players unlock the intriguing Agent Hunt mode. The option allows players to find another person's game online and invade as a zombie. If a player is killed, they respawn as another enemy. If they kill the opposing player, they advance to another player's session.
Overall, Resident Evil 6 is the video game equivalent of inserting the square peg into the round hole. It's clear developers want to transform the franchise into an action-heavy adventure. The problem is the game's current structure and mechanics don't mesh.
This game is built for survival horror, between an emphasis on carefully managing resources and a methodical pace that creates tension. Every slain enemy means another chance at grabbing more bullets or herbs for health.

However, when confronted with straightforward action sequences, Resident Evil 6 stumbles. Monitoring ammunition counts is understandable during any action title, but the scarcity of items makes these moments more frustrating. I prefer taking out enemies to spending half my time running around a map for ammo. Also, these zombies aren't meant to wield firearms. When they reach a position, there's a 3-5 second gap before they start shooting. They also pull strange moves such as running right past you, preferring to save their attacks for when they reach cover. How exactly are zombies mentally competent enough to use a rocket launcher yet clueless on everything else?
Developers also seem to deflate many of the game's explosive moments. There are a lot of quick-time events, sequences where players must tap a button or move the thumbstick within a short timeframe to execute actions. Prepare to spin the thumbstick around often (pro tip: the game doesn't point out players can use both thumbsticks for these moves instead of just one).
Several sequences also lack a clear payoff for the player. Jake's battle with the Ustanak is a prime example (Spoiler Time). Jake and Sherry are on a helicopter and must fend off an Ustanak trying to take down the aircraft. Instead of the satisfaction of lodging enough bullets into its thick hide to ward him off, players eventually run out of ammo, then run back and forth on the chopper until the section ends. Setting up this huge battle with the Ustanak over multiple chapters is fine, but can't I least get the final shot that sends the Ustanak fleeing? When the moment matters most, a player's control over the scenario is limited.

The control scheme is largely similar to its predecessor, 2009's Resident Evil 5, with the added help of moving and shooting at the same time. It's still clunky at times, such as when players navigate menus or attempt advanced melee hits. And although you can't command co-op partners controlled by the computer, they still perform well in combat and will save your life on many occasions.
If Capcom chooses to shift Resident Evil from a survival horror game to more traditional action, that's their prerogative. But as Resident Evil 6 proves, it's going to require fundamental changes to its technical foundation to make the game enjoyable.

Andrew Luck and the Colts spoiled Peyton Manning's homecoming in Indianapolis to the tune of a 39-33 win over the Broncos, and Luck's rushing touchdown in the third quarter made the changing of the guard as obvious as Manning's missed receivers and interceptions.
But it was Wes Welker's reaction to that TD that got everyone's attention. While NBC's cameras only caught him for a brief moment, we decided to take that time-speck somewhere else. Where is his mind? What metaphysical questions of existence are Wes Welker pondering? [NBC]

We are more than a month into the New Year, which means you have another opportunity to review your credit reports for free. By law, each year U.S. consumers are allowed to download one free copy of each of their credit reports so they can review the reports for errors. This helps you avoid mistakes and discrepancies that damage credit scores.
Continue Reading Below
A recent study found one in four credit reports contain some type of mistake so annual score check's are vital to keep your financial health intact.
You can download your free credit reports by going to annualcreditreport.com and following the instructions. You will receive copies of all three credit reports – one from each of the three main credit bureaus. Each credit bureau maintains their own version of your credit history and has their own formula for calculating scores. Since the bureaus don't communicate with each other, it's up to you to make sure all three reports are correct.
Once you have copies of the reports, start looking for mistakes: duplicate accounts, incorrect accounts and/or statuses and even outdated information that should be removed after the seven to 10 year statute of limitations. If you identify a mistake, look for any documentation to prove that inaccuracy. Once you have all of the information gathered, you can make your disputes.
By law, you can make disputes directly with the creditor in question or with the credit bureaus. Starting with the creditor has its advantages because they are required by law to report any corrections to all three credit bureaus. If you dispute with a credit bureau and it confirm a correction, you would have to go through the same process with the other two bureaus. What's more if the creditor rejects your dispute, you still have the right to dispute the information with the credit bureaus, where you may find success.
If you're still unsatisfied with your credit scores after disputing inaccurate information, then you need take steps to repair the score throughout the year. You can pay off debt and build a positive credit history by paying your bills on time. If you have an overwhelming amount of debt compared to your monthly income, seeking help and advice from a credit counselor can be a great start to fixing your credit.
Your credit profile impacts loan eligibility, interest rates, job prospects and even insurance rates. There are several resources available to help educate consumers about building and repairing credit. Consulting a credit counselor or other financial professional can be an eye-opening first step.
In the aftermath of the recession, there is a greater focus on responsible money management, budgeting and credit use, and many financial institutions have started offering online seminars and webinars to help consumers.
You should also try to rely less on credit cards. The ratio of your balance versus your available credit limit makes up 30% of your score and carrying high balances can drag down your ratings-- even if you make timely payments. For this reason, paying all bills on time, keeping balances low and avoiding too many credit applications is ideal.

J. S. Afterglow
The great day finally arrived. At 6:30
sharp (?) the nervous young swain ar-rived
at a bustling house for his lady
friend. After impatiently waiting for a
five minute elapse, which really seemed
like fifty, he was fully rewarded for the
delay by the first glimpse of his damsel
gorgeusly arrayed in her new gown. He
tenderly escorted her to the car, and dur-ing
the drive to the ibanqeut, frantically
tried to recall all the instructions he had
had before the banquet so he could do it
in all the finesse of a college graduate,
or one who had been in the Sophomore
class for three or four years.
Entering the Spanish room in the Low-ry
Hotel after having correctly disposed
of their wraps, they beheld the beautiful-ly
decorated banquet hall in silver and
gold. The confusion of colors presented
by the girls' formals contributed to the
galaxy of the occasion.
Following the time of feasting, (very
few breaches of etiquette committed) a
program was presented which developed
around the theme of Spire.
What followed the program was evi-densed
by the few who came to breakfast
the next morning, the dismissal of the
college classes on Saturday, and the un-cheerful
hello the participants gave for
the next three days.
Faculty Program
Well Received
A program by the faculty members was
presented at the College Club meeting
May 16. Among business measures voted
upon was a rule that anyone taking more
than six hours in the Junior College
should automatically be considered a
member of the College Club. A nominat-ing
committee for the selection of new
officers was also elected.
Our school year will soon be finished. The students will depart; the library
books will become dusty. Many from the student body will be graduated from the
Seminary or the Junior College. The remaining undergraduates anticipate more
years of formal education. Will we leave school for our various places this summer
wiser because we are obsessed by a growing desire to know?
Inquisitiveness is natural in childhood, but is often lost in the process of getting
an education. This loss should be guarded against. A few years ago the slogan,
"It's fun to be fooled, but it's more fun to know," was used extensively in a certain
advertising campaign. Curiosity is not only important to the juvenile mind, but it is
also a valuable attribute of the mature individual.
We may, by using our natural inquisitiveness and by working diligently, find a
new happiness through increased knowledge. If we have a desire to know more of
God, more of this world, and more of our desponsibility in it; and if we are willing to
search for truth with minds open, and to accept it when it is discovered, we have not
striven in vain. We have advanced.
Jesus taught his followers to consider every man as a brother. He instructed
them thus: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that
hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you." Many who have tried this
way of love, which is the way of the cross, are positive that it works.
People around the world are essentially the same. In' our world where we are so
'closely linked together with the people of other nations, we will stand or fall to-gether.
The only solution for any problem of our complex world-society is in men;
men of character established in Jesus Christ and yielded to this way of love. We
must yearn to bless our fellow man; we must; point out to him the cross, and the
Christ of the cross, our living Lord.

Three Conference Defeats
On a recent road trip, Bethel invaded
two camps and lost two games. A shake-up
in the lineup contributed to the de-feats,
but the substitutes played a ball of
good calibre. Carl Holmberg, regular
first baseman, could not make the trip;
Cliff Dickau was home with a sprained
ankle; Vern Pearson was ill; Rodger
Nordell was working. Bob Hovinen and
Don Johnson, substitutes, pulled through
in fine style.
A costly sixth inning brought victory
to the Luther team. Capitalizing on hits
and errors, the 6-0 lead of Bethel over
Luther was reversed to defeat by the
ability of Luther to bunch their hits in
one inning. Final score, 9-7.

THE big three parties were this morning relieved after pretenders Ukip narrowly failed to take a seat on Colchester Council.
The anti European Union party stood in 14 of the 20 seats up for grabs in yesterday's local elections and came second in most of them.
But although the party picked up nearly 100 council seats up and down the country, the closest they came in Colchester was an 85 vote loss to Conservative John Elliott in Tiptree.
Elsewhere, the only change was Labour's gain of Berechurch from the Lib Dems.
In an echo of recent elections, the other 19 seats were held by the incumbent party, meaning the Lib Dem, Labour and independent coalition which has ruled the authority since 2008 is likely to continue for at least 12 more months.
The big three parties all declared themselves satisfied with the results. Labour councillors were pleased to add new Berechurch councillor Chris Pearson to their ranks, while the Conservatives insisted they were pleased to see their vote share increase.
The collapse of Lib Dem support in other councils such as Portsmouth was not replicated in Colchester, as they successfully defended nine out of ten seats.
Focus centred on Castle ward, which required a recount to separate incumbent Lib Dem Bill Frame and Tory challenger Darius Laws. Eventually, Mr Frame was declared the winner by just 46 votes.
Returning councillor Justin Knight also struggled to overcome a Labour challenge for Old Heath ward, but eventually won by 69 votes.
Ron Levy, secretary of Colchester Ukip, said work would start next week to make a breakthrough at the 2015 general election.
Votes cast in the European Union election will be counted on Sunday.

At what point should I contact UMich to make sure they got my app complete? It seems most people have already heard back from them. Is there anyone who had a LSADS request around 9/26 who has not gotten that letter?Same with Georgetown, it still says "APPLIED" for the online status check. It does, however, say that it was last updated on Oct. 7 so maybe it is, in fact, complete.

KISSIMMEE, Fla.—Bentley University (Division II) proved too much for the UMass Boston men's and women's tennis teams in their Spring Break openers, as the Falcons dealt the Beacons a pair of 9-0 losses.
Friday's matches included the tennis debut of senior Mark Grinhaus (Scarsdale, N.Y.) and the collegiate debut of Vanessa Pojdiaev (West Bloomfield, Mich.).
Men's Tennis: Bentley 9, UMass Boston 0
Grinhaus, a four-year member of the men's hockey team, paired up with freshman Jack Wang (Suzhou, China) to provide one of the tighter matches of the day at number two doubles. The pair took an early 1-0 lead and kept it close for the Beacons (0-3), before eventually falling 8-4 to their Bentley (5-4) opponents.
Bentley had less trouble at first and third doubles, as the Falcons defeated UMass Boston's top doubles pair of Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) and Lyle Analetto (Belmont, Mass.) and the third duo of Brian Sou (Revere, Mass.) and Jon Feng (Waukesha, Wisc.) by identical 8-1 scores.
Lai would put together the best showing in singles action, as he fell 6-3, 6-1 at number one singles to Bentley's Jimmy Rindo. Analetto fell 6-1, 6-1 at third singles, while the Falcons earned 6-1, 6-0 victories at number two, four and six singles over Wang, Grinhaus and Feng. Felipe Palacios wrapped up the match for the Falcons with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Sou at number five singles.
Women's Tennis: Bentley 9, UMass Boston 0
UMass Boston (6-11) returned to the courts for the first time in over four months and struggled to get anything going against the Falcons (6-3).
The Beacons' top pair of Anitra Kloczewiak (Newton, Mass.) and Samantha Counts (Bridgewater, Mass.) went back-and-forth with Ludmila Yamus and Rachel Petrini, before eventually falling 8-5 at number one doubles. At number two doubles, Solveig Castelli (Precojo, France) and Vicky Woytowicz (Springfield, Mass.) dropped an 8-0 decision, while the third pairing of Kelsey Shea (West Bridgewater, Mass.) and Logan Smith (Southwick, Mass.) lost by an 8-2 score.
Bentley really found their rhythm in singles play, sweeping the Beacons trio of Counts, Pojidaev and Nurcin Celebi (Istanbul, Turkey) by 6-0, 6-0 scores at number two, three and five singles.
Melanie Scott knocked off Castelli 6-0, 6-1 at number four singles, while Kloczewiak fell 6-1, 6-3 at number one singles.
Kayla Anghinetti wrapped up the day with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Shea at sixth-flight singles.
Both UMass Boston teams will be back in action Monday at 8 a.m. when they take on Western New England University in Kissimmee at the Oak Street Community Park.

text: This is an odd one. I just realized that 9 of 20 nodes rebooted on Apr 4. (Since they all rebooted successfully everything was working and there was no reason to think that this had taken place.) This appears to be related to the daylights savings time change two days before. The reason I think that is that the nodes that rebooted have /var/log/messages files like: Apr 4 08:01:00 nodename CROND ... /cron/hourly Apr 4 09:01:00 nodename CROND ... /cron/hourly Apr 4 08:24:33 nodename syslogd 1.4.1; restart Notice the time shift backwards between the last normal record and the first reboot record. As if it finally caught on that the clock had changed and that somehow triggered a reboot. Unfortunately none of the log files contain a message that indicated exactly what it was that ordered the reboot. Unclear to me what piece of software could have triggered this. Presumably something that had it's own clock stuck one hour off on the previous time standard and also has the ability to restart the system. ntpd? Ganglia? They were both running.

It's just a simple presentation standpoint. I actually work at Target & the grommets are used for just the purpose you describe. When items sell down, you push it forward to bring the product to the front of the peg where it can be seen. I know a dedicated collector will rummage through everything, but from a retail standpoint, an item is more likely to sell if it's right up front. (A lot of the pegs also tend to be slightly angled & cause product to slide to the back, which the grommets help prevent.) Aside from some grocery items, most stores don't individually order items. It's all done through computers. An item sells & it triggers it into the system. If the distribution center has it available to replenish the store, it's sent out. It usually takes 3+ days to get an item back in once it's sold out in the store (but, only if it's currently available from distribution. I say this because I'm a poor schmuck who collects Monster High dolls. I feel Mattel is at fault there, as they only come in about once a month.)
Time saved facing at the end of the night means the store needs less people to go around and do the facing. So maybe the companies can make more profit by reducing payroll. They probably don't care if it's rather insulting to the actual customers.
I say we should do what my cat does when I try to sneak a medicine pill in her food. Eat around it and drop the pill on the floor in front of her food bowl. In other words slide the device off, place it on the shelf below and push the figures to the back of the pegs
and maybe cough up a hairball…
Amen! I hate those things. Four pegs of MU and only four Iron Men on them. It's just nuts. Target is the worst offender around here.
See this a lot at Targets in my area. Not so much as Walmart or TRU.
goddamn that makes me mad!!
I thought the problem would be the absolutely weird price of $6.04.
This is not a big deal at all (or even a little deal). It's just a way of "facing" and keeping things looking full until new product comes. It doesn't replace ordering or keep them from paying for a "more robust and accurate inventory system".
I always push those things to the back.
i agree that those things are a pain for just shows that the stores to give their workers something to do and proably sadly till they get a chance to restock or get a new ship ment in. use those pegs to make it so the shelves keep looking well stocked.
I think they are great. It keeps the pegs more organized looking…and it also preserves the hanger on the blister carded figures. I work at a guitar shop, and the reality of the slow economy we are in is that stores are cutting back on purchasing products because sales are severely down. Buying more stock just to appear well stocked is idiotic. Also, my wife has told me that she likes them too, because she can spot the product she is looking from down the aisle. In my opinion it's a non-issue.
I don't think the discs are a problem.
the real problem is that they just don't put enough stock in to begin with so even when they just get a new shipment the pegs are half empty
with way too many of some and not enough of others.
Seriously? Who cares?
Go kill the heart of Wal-mart or somethin' if it really bothers you enough to write an article about this.
But seriously, you know what they need to get rid of? Bottom shelves.
I mean, who the hell likes bending over to look at something….Those things need to go to….
Everything in a retail store is supposed to be pulled forward, even if it's just 1 thing on a 10 inch peg or on a huge shelf. It has nothing to do with understocking. It's a time saving measure for the store, not some big scam to pull the wool over our eyes.
I do not know if they have an official name, we have always called them "pac-men" and I have always pushed them back and do not believe I have ever actually used them.
Ok, now that's far more annoying than the peg things IMO. The store wants it that way, and you have to make a mess (even a small one) because it bothers you? And yes, it is a mess if it then has to be fixed by employees.
These little 'shopper stoppers' don't bug me so much. Placing (for example) a Batman Brave and the Bold or Spider-Man figure on an empty JLU peg to make it look 'stocked' absolutely bothers me.
And I correct it whenever I notice it.
Really? This is worth complaining about? They're called "I.C. Clips" (inventory control clips) and they're used to keep merchandise fronted on the pegs… mostly because it simply looks neater that way. It's also been an industry standard for decades, so you're a little late with this lame mini rant. Maybe you should just complain about the pegs being empty instead, and skip the whole "worst enemy" thing entirely.

Arizona State University's Flexible Display Center and HP recently announced a prototype of a flexible lightweight computer screen that stands to revolutionize computers and electronic devices. Created in a similar roll-to-roll manufacturing process as thin-film pv, these new computer screens are printed onto plastic sheets that are virtually indestructible, use less energy and are less costly to produce than conventional screens. These new displays could potentially use up to 90% less materials by volume to produce as well.
ASU's Flexible Display Center has been working on flexible display technology in partnership with corporations as well as the US Army. HP likewise has been an innovator in many electronic technologies, including the technology that makes this new prototype possible – Self-Aligned Imprint Lithography (SAIL), which was invented at HP Labs. As HP explains, "SAIL technology enables the fabrication of thin film transistor arrays on a flexible plastic material in a low-cost, roll-to-roll manufacturing process. This allows for more cost-effective continuous production, rather than batch sheet-to-sheet production."
Flexible displays will not only lower the cost of monitors, but will allow the invention of more advanced and smaller electronics, like electronic paper. Devices like phones, PDAs, handheld readers, MP3 players, etc, will not only become smaller and more lightweight, but also more user friendly. Imagine actually being able to read a magazine on an handheld device and not have to scroll around to read the whole article. Or being able to stash an electronic book into your bag without destroying or scratching it. This type of screen takes the Kindle to a whole new level.
Carl Taussig, director, Information Surfaces, HP Labs, says, "In addition to providing a lower-cost process, SAIL technology represents a more sustainable, environmentally sensitive approach to producing electronic displays."

Poll Sitters
Congressional leaders don't have an opinion on Clinton's speech–at least not until you do.
Here is my favorite Flytrap nugget from this morning's papers. The Washington Post writes:
Neither House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R), at home in Georgia, nor Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), in Florida for a vacation, commented on the speech. Also unavailable was House Judiciary Chairman Henry J. Hyde (R-Ill.), the pivotal figure in an impeachment inquiry. … Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) was traveling in rural areas of South Dakota and unreachable throughout the day yesterday, his office said. House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) was in Europe.
Now even politicians are entitled to a private life, as President Clinton noted last night, and (as he didn't note) that includes the right to vacation in August. But does anyone else find it suspicious that on what will undoubtedly be one of the most important political days of their lives, so many of them were unreachable? (Daschle's "rural areas of South Dakota"–that's a good one! Don't they have phones in rural South Dakota? Didn't the New Deal take care of that?)
Contrast this with the pundits, who set new records yesterday for quantity and speedy delivery of blather. Clinton spoke for four minutes. Four minutes after he finished, dozens had already rendered judgment on the various networks. But pundits are paid to be interesting, not to be right. All they make is opinions. Politicians, by contrast, make decisions–in this case, their opinion on Clinton may turn into a decision about impeachment. So yesterday's silence from Gingrich, Lott, et al. reflected an admirable desire to think through the weighty issues that …
No, I don't believe that. The Republican reticence can be partly attributed to the ancient rule of politics: Don't kill your enemy when he's committing suicide. (Gingrich even warned his GOP underlings to keep quiet.) But the main reason for silence from congressional leaders of both parties was the modern political practice of poll sitting. Don't express an opinion until you're sure it's shared by at least 51 percent of one of Mr. Gallup's random samples.
Until 10:06 p.m. last night, Flytrap was a complicated issue. The most basic facts were in dispute, and a political leader could plausibly decline to express an opinion. Now the basic facts are clear, and there are very few opinions to choose from. You believe that 1) adultery with a 22-year-old intern and lying both publicly and under oath about it are sufficient grounds for impeachment; or 2) these are insufficient, but evidence yet to come out about obstruction of justice might be sufficient; or (3) the whole thing should go away right now. You are permitted to weave variations on a few side issues–for example, was his apology groveling enough? But you are no longer permitted to say the basic question is unclear or you need more time to think. You've had seven months to think.
Say what you want about an impeachment zealot such as Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., but at least he had the courage to go on national television last night and argue for continuing investigation. A few bold Democrats such as Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts also rose quickly to Clinton's defense last night. But among Congress' leaders, it seems, there was no reason to get ahead of the polls.
Today, Gingrich, Lott, Gephardt, and Hyde broke their silence with some of the most mealy-mouthed statements you could ever hope to hear. But suppose that a week or a month from now it becomes clear that the voters have turned against Bill Clinton and impeachment is a salable proposition. At that point you can expect to hear ringing moral judgments from Gingrich and Lott, which they could just as easily assert today if they 1) really believed this stuff and 2) had the guts. And if it becomes clear that voters side with Clinton, Gephardt and the congressional Democrats will turn up the self-righteous anger.
And if the polls are ambiguous, the assertion of timeless values by both sides will just have to wait.

Rodgers fuming at referee
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insisted the best team lost and blamed mistakes by referee Mark Halsey for contributing to their first defeat to Manchester United at Anfield since 2007.
Rodgers took issue with the sending-off of Jonjo Shelvey, the penalty that Robin Van Persie converted to win the game 2-1 and Halsey's decision not to award Liverpool a spot-kick when Luis Suarez was felled in the second half.
"We are bitterly disappointed with the result, I thought the best team lost," he said. "Of what we could control I thought the players and performance level was outstanding, what we couldn't control were decisions by the referee."
He added: "If Shelvey gets sent off for having both feet off the ground then Evans has to get sent off for that as well if you watch the replays.
"Jonjo is coming in from the side, it is a tackle the player has to go for and one the United player has to go for but the Liverpool player can't get sent off and the United one stay on the field.
"I thought it was very harsh and that was how it was throughout the game as a number of poor decisions went against us. The penalty was never a penalty. Johnson has made a fantastic recovery back in and I have no idea why Valencia goes down.
"Up the other end Suarez gets a toe on the ball, gets contact, goes down and doesn't get the penalty."
Sir Alex Ferguson almost agreed with Rodgers in his assessment of the match, although not over the United penalty.
"I thought we were poor. Over the last four years we have allowed the (Anfield) crowd to get at us a little bit," he added. "They gave fantastic support to their team and they dominated. We played better in the second half but it was against 10 men and Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Ryan Giggs' experience got us through.
"No doubts about the penalty though, it was reckless."
