The entire fall was captured on 25-year-old Matthew Gough's headcam.
After 180 successful BASE jumps around the world, Gough's parachute got twisted and was facing backwards upon inflation.
"I was trying to think about what to do, but all I could think about was trying to stay alive, I knew the final impact was coming soon and I knew if I hit the floor at the speed I was travelling, I was in a whole lot of trouble," Gough said later. "I managed to hang off one side of the [canopy] and get away from the cliff but couldn't control it still, I didn't know if I was going to hit the floor or go into the lake."
Though he slammed into the ground at nearly 40mph, Gough was incredibly lucky to have missed a series of metal spikes by mere inches.
"The spikes were around a foot long and there was ten of them, the one right in the middle brushed my face and went between my helmet and my face and ripped my helmet off, I think it cushioned my fall slightly," he said.
Gough sustained minor injuries to his lower extremities and was released from the hospital just hours after being admitted.
In fact, Gough says he's ready to go again.
Said Gough: "Some jumps I may not do, I may avoid the more technical ones but I will carry on jumping, my parents are desperate for me to stop, but I fully accept the dangers of this sport and don't expect any sympathy."

Originally posted on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 3/26/13
KANSAS CITY, Mo. You could almost hear the moans from Royals fans across the area when manager Ned Yost announced that Chris Getz had indeed beat out Johnny Giavotella for the second-base job. Many fans have been pulling for Johnny G to win the job for close to two years. But as was the case last year, Getz held off the challenger again in spring training. Getzs numbers clearly were better (.372 average, .426 on-base) than Giavotellas (.267 average, .283 on-base), but I doubt the competition came down solely to offensive numbers. The Royals are fairly certain that Giavotella could out-hit Getz, at least marginally, if given the everyday job. But the Royals also know its not an absolute certainty. And while the gap defensively between the two isnt as huge as some might think, its enough to outweigh the risk of having Giavotella hit poorly again at the big-league level and cost the Royals a few games in the field. Giavotella isnt horrible in the field, but he is handicapped a bi...

"Lots of dedicated people, poor choices to run the department "
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at ERMC full-time (More than a year)
Company is fairly stable, but don't plan on a bright future here
Poor middle management. Upper management is dedicated to the company, but often fools themselves into thinking their decisions are being adopted by the people below them. Not much chance to progress in the corporate office. Field employees can advance into the management roles in their areas (although there is very high churn there) Company is very focused on the profit margin. Not an altogether bad focus, but sometimes things need to be upgraded. The corporate policies are NOT applied evenly to all employees. Friends of the family are often treated better and shown a blind eye, while people who are dedicated to the work (instead of the family) are shown the door when they disagree with middle management. Compensation is very low. Benefits are subsidized, so you will be paying all of your insurance.
Advice to Management
Look at your departments with high churn, maybe the problem isn't with the talent you are attracting, maybe they are being driven off by the supervisors. Changing "corporate culture" is not a bad goal, but saying you are going to do it, and then declaring victory doesn't mean you did it. The rank and file corporate employee life didn't change at all.
Other Employee Reviews for ERMC
- Doesn't RecommendNeutral Outlook
I have been working at ERMC part-time (More than a year)
Depending on who your managers are, they usually work around your schedule, as long as you don't need weekends off. Advancement into lower management is easily possible due to high attrition rate.
Company is shady, example: Contract we work is hundreds of hours behind because no one applies to the job for the low pay rate, so the company we are contracted for agrees to increase the pay rate. Sounds great right? Well all the new hires received the new pay rate, the old hires got stuck with the old pay rate, and ERMC pocketed the extra money the contract company was paying for our pay increase. Employee loss rate per year is close to 100% if not more. They just hire more people to fill in the spots.
Advice to Management
Try and pretend you care about your employees.

great tour
August 2015
Great introductory tour of Prague. Take this tour early on so as to know what sites to hit up on foot. The tour only stops at a fountain show which was great! The fountain is within an older exhibition compound from the early 20th century - beautiful to see some of them. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!
March 2015
Amazing tour at night to see it all when there are no tourists blocking the view. Saw it all and could make decisions on what to see the next day in daylight!

October 2014
Prague by day is spectacular, but this tour revealed that Prague by night is EQUALLY sensational. A highlight was touring the grounds of the Prague Castle, but the standout point of the evening was the amazing water/music show at the Krizikova Fountain. Thank you to our lovely tour guide, Dana, who spoke in both German and English and shared some interesting tidbits along the way.

Booked this last minute and were the only two who ended up doing the tour, our guide was very knowledgable and friendly,, the fountain show was good but was at 7pm in June and was still very bright so maybe it should be later in summer months, but I would highly recommend

Fantastic trip with an extremely knowlegeable guide. It worked out that my mother and I were the only ones so we enjoyed a private tour of the city. Prague is a beautiful city and the water show was an unexpected surprise.

"Michelle takes the time to really understand her audience and frame her remarks in a manner that is meaningful and specific to them. Our team came away from her keynote speech feeling heard and understood."
Born in Australia and now residing in Vancouver, Canada, Michelle began her career in the media industry during the recession of the early 80′s. She was once told by management that she "didn't have what it takes" to succeed in the business world. Despite a lack of mentors, Michelle was inspired to move up the management ladder to self-employment, creating her own successful international business.
She helps individuals at any stage of their career to master personal leadership…the ability to take charge of oneself first in any situation. Michelle speaks passionately about self–actualization, the importance of outstanding leadership in the workplace and the responsibility of positive communication and influence.
Michelle challenges individuals, as well as clients and audiences, to take charge of themselves, shift perspectives and discover their greatest potential. Her refreshing, uplifting and common-sense message has inspired thousands of audiences with her simple yet powerful premise: Leadership is first and foremost a state of mind.
Michelle's first training, speaking and consulting company was established in 1995. She subsequently established her training and development division, the Lead Yourself First Institute, to help individuals and organizations take the initiative in the face of change and economic uncertainty.
Her company's array of customized educational training programs specializes in areas she describes as high demand essentials for professional growth. Michelle also offers customized in-house solutions including workshops, coaching and consulting for leadership development, workplace relationships, and personal growth. Other services include webinars, teleseminars and personalized self-study courses online.
Michelle's book, Lead Yourself First! Indispensable Lessons in Business and in Life, first released as a self–published work in 2013, was re-released worldwide in the fall of 2014 by Changemakers Books, an imprint of John Hunt Publishing. She is a regular contributing writer for the Globe and Mail's Leadership Lab column.
Michelle is a "Certified Speaking Professional" (CSP), the only earned designation for professional speakers. This designation signifies exceptional achievement through a proven record of speaking experience. These speakers must meet rigorous requirements for a number of fee-paid presentations, number of clients, continuing education credits and consecutive years of business experience. This designation is granted under the auspices of the Global Speakers Federation (5,000+ members in 27 countries). Less than 700 people worldwide have earned this distinction.
eSpeakers serves speakers, event organizers who hire speakers, and organizations who work with groups of speakers or event organizers. They manage over 9,000 speaker profiles, 188 expert topics, and 74 directories. Over 17,000 events were booked through their software in 2014. "Top Ten" selections were vetted by eSpeakers staff and their advisory board. Criteria for inclusion were the number of positive reviews on the speaker's profile, the number of events booked in the last year, buzz around the speaker, their international footprint, and industry designations.
From thousands of entries received, Michelle Ray reached the Top Ten Finals of "North America's Next Greatest Speaker" Contest. She spoke at the 12th Annual eWomen Network International Conference & Business Expo in Dallas, Texas in front of a renowned panel of judges including entertainment mogul Ken Kragen (manager Lionel Ritchie, Kenny Rogers, Olivia Newton-John) and Lisa Nichols, motivator extraordinaire, teacher of "The Secret". Finalists were given only three minutes to present a keynote speech. They were judged on use of humour, audience engagement, key message and story–telling abilities.
The journey will begin on November 20, 2015 at Unicef's Universal Children's Day celebrations in Ottawa where Capri will sing the Canadian National Anthem and speak as SOS Children's Villages youngest Youth Ambassador.
In addition to being a silver sponsor, Michelle Ray is donating 5% of her book sales (Lead Yourself First! Indispensable Lessons in Business and in Life) from her website, speaking engagements and client bulk purchases, to this cause.

Tillmann Lauterbach Fall/Winter 2014–Looking to the Neo-Dada art movement for inspiration, Tillmann Lauterbach took a sporty turn with a splash of quirky nonsense for fall/winter 2014. From shorts layered over trousers and elongated shirts paired with cropped jackets to suiting separates with varying proportions, the collection offered up a casual take on traditional menswear. Juxtaposed with graphic elements dispersed throughout the looks, oversize tailoring balanced a strong mix of casual and formal attributes.

Jeane J. Kirkpatrick's eyes twinkle at the mention of that August 1984 night at the Republican National Convention in Dallas when she eviscerated liberal Democrats as the "blame America first crowd."
"When Marxist dictators shoot their way into power in Central America, the San Francisco Democrats don't blame the guerrillas and their Soviet allies," Mrs. Kirkpatrick said of her party, which had just had its national convention in San Francisco. "They blame United States policies of 100 years ago. But then they always blame America first."
With those words, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations -- a long-time Democrat -- described the difference between President Reagan's determination to defeat communism and Democratic Party leaders' inclination to accommodate communism everywhere.
She accused Democrats of abandoning the anti-communism of liberals like Harry S. Truman, Hubert H. Humphrey and Henry "Scoop" Jackson for the accommodative tack of George McGovern, Jimmy Carter and the "new liberals" she tagged as the "San Francisco Democrats."
Mr. Reagan liked the "blame America first" refrain so much he used it against Democrats in his speeches in the fall 1984 campaign, winning a landslide victory.
"I worked very hard on that Dallas speech, and I believe the charges I made were defensible and that I could document them," Mrs. Kirkpatrick, 79, says as she sorts through old manuscripts in the living room of her Bethesda home. "At that time, there really were very widespread attacks on Ronald Reagan and the Reagan administration. I thought they were unreasonably harsh, and that's what I was referring to."
While foreign policy led her away from her former party, Mrs. Kirkpatrick also had domestic policy differences with Democrats.
"Democrat welfare policy not only was not working but was damaging to the people who were the supposed beneficiaries," she says. "I believe in self-reliance."
Her own current foreign policy views seem not quite to match either party's talking points.
"I don't think we have an obligation to engage in a new imperialism," says Mrs. Kirkpatrick, who adds that she is "skeptical of nation-building. It is extremely difficult for one nation to seriously remake another nation."
She calls President Bush's foreign policy "a little too interventionist for my taste, frankly -- but not across the board. I am very much in favor of his actions in Afghanistan and have not opposed them in Iraq."
Like other conservative intellectuals torn between their sense of moral propriety and their rejection of meddling government, Mr. Kirkpatrick is conflicted about a constitutional ban on homosexual "marriage."
"Look, I am a serious Christian. I attend a conservative Presbyterian Church," she says. "I was raised as a Baptist. No, I don't favor the constitutional amendment. On the other hand, I don't want to promote same-sex 'marriage.'"
An icon to many conservatives for the past 25 years, she has her own way of describing how the world works. Over the history of the republic, she says, government has done more to protect and enhance freedom than to restrict it.
"Wherever there is a choice of leaving opportunities and tasks to the individual rather than government, it is desirable to do that," she says. "But where it is not possible or feasible, there is a legitimate role for government."
"I have no doubt that we needed ... an active government role to break some of the barriers of segregation and discrimination -- and we still do, somewhat," she says.
She also sees a government role in dealing with disasters like Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the Gulf coast last year: "Some devastation is so terrible, so deep, that it requires major effort that government is more able to mount than individuals. I have never changed my views about these issues."
The write stuff
Mrs. Kirkpatrick's road to becoming the most visible Democrat in a conservative Republican administration began with a pair of articles by her that riveted the attention of two different audiences in the fall of 1979.
"Why we don't become Republicans," appeared in the Republican National Committee magazine Common Sense. In it, she said Democrats like her and her husband, Evron "Kirk" Kirkpatrick -- adviser to liberal Minnesota Democrat Hubert H. Humphrey -- were "chronically dismayed" by their party's leftward foreign-policy drift since 1972 under the "new liberals."
Yet, the GOP didn't seem an acceptable alternative because it retained a "brand" image associated with country-club snobbery and an indifference to problems of race and poverty.
Her breakthrough 1979 foreign-policy article "Dictatorships and Double Standards" appeared in Commentary -- which became famous as a "neo-conservative" journal under editor Norman Podhoretz.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick argued that America's "posture of continuous self-abasement and apology vis-a-vis the Third World is neither morally necessary nor politically appropriate" and concluded that the McGovern-Carter crowd had confused "liberal idealism ... with masochism."
The Commentary article "changed my life, actually," she says.
"Dictatorships and Double Standards" caught the eye of Richard Allen, who would become Mr. Reagan's national security adviser. Mr. Allen gave a copy to Mr. Reagan, saying, "Here, read this -- I promise you'll like it."
Later, she recalls, "I was sitting in my office minding my own business when I got a call from Bill Casey," the Reagan campaign manager and future CIA director, as well as a call from another Reagan emissary. She agreed to meet with Mr. Reagan and his top advisers the next Friday.
"I hung up, and the phone rang again. The voice said, 'This is the White House.' It was Bernie Aronson, Jimmy Carter's top adviser on Latin America."
Mrs. Kirkpatrick had helped found the neo-conservative Coalition for a Democratic Majority, and Mr. Aronson said President Carter wanted the CDM's perspective "adequately represented" at the Democratic Platform Hearings in Baltimore. The president had hoped to get Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan to testify, but that fell through, and now he wanted Mrs. Kirkpatrick.
"I said, 'Bernie, thanks so much, but I think it's too late,'" she recalls, adding that it "was one of the real turning points in my life. It was well known by then that neo-conservatives" -- disaffected liberal Democrats in search of a party -- "were growing, that I was one of them and that we were unhappy with our Democratic president and our Democratic candidate."
Team Reagan
Mrs. Kirkpatrick, joined the Reagan 1980 campaign team as foreign-policy adviser. After the election, she was in Miami addressing a Hebrew University fundraiser when he telephoned. "How are you, Mr. President-elect?" she said, to which he replied, "I'd be a lot better if you'd agree to go to New York and be my ambassador to the United Nations -- and a member of my Cabinet."
Republicans concluded that no one in either party could articulate Mr. Reagan's foreign policy better than Mrs. Kirkpatrick, a former foreign-intelligence researcher and a confirmed Francophile who wrote her doctoral dissertation while bringing up three sons and who consulted her political-science professor husband on all matters of import.
She became the most visible, highly placed Reagan Democrat in the administration, signaling millions of others that it was all right to vote for a conservative Republican and eventually, to follow her lead and change her registration to Republican -- as she did after leaving government in 1985.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick says her legacy has been to help bring about a realignment in American politics and to radically change the atmosphere at the United Nations: "I wanted to make it clear we were there to stand up for U.S. interests and principles."

Never mind the multinationals. For China exposure, investors should buy the real thing.
In recent years, recommending multinational corporations that derive revenue from China has been a popular strategy. China's economy has slowed, its market has underperformed, and accounting scandals have dominated the headlines. That's made companies like Yum! Brands YUM 4.1357841683960865% Yum! Brands Inc.

But recent events have shown that large multinationals are far from immune to the problems that come with investing in China. On Jan. 18, for instance, Caterpillar CAT -0.7516703786191536% Caterpillar Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD71.3 -0.54 -0.7516703786191536% /Date(1444424430908-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5546728 AFTER HOURS USD71.35 0.05 0.07012622720897616% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26802 P/E Ratio 12.229845626072041 Market Cap 43293152197.3889 Dividend Yield 4.319775596072931% Rev. per Employee 462318 More quote details and news » (CAT) said it would write down the investment it made in ERA Mining Machinery (8043.Hong Kong), because of fraudulent accounting. Yum, meanwhile, was hit by allegations of toxic chicken at its KFC chain, which caused the stock to lose 5% during the past three months. And Bank of America sold down its stake in China Construction Bank for a nice profit but never got the foothold in China that it had hoped for.
The upshot: Investors who believe in China's long-term growth story should invest in China itself and not its proxies, says Marten Hoekstra, CEO of Emerging Global Advisors. "Developed-market-based multinationals will be challenged there," he says. "And Chinese companies will be more likely to succeed."
Some argue that loading up on companies with large revenue exposure to China gives investors the best of both worlds—the safety of the U.S. with the high growth of China. Yet that isn't always the case. In the past year, a basket of companies with exposure to China have gained just 7.8%, including reinvested dividends, according to Bloomberg data, far less than the 17.7% returned by the MSCI China Index and the 16.2% return of the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
"If you're 65 and have exposure through the S&P 500, you will benefit from China," says Todd Henry, an emerging-markets equity portfolio specialist at T. Rowe Price. For younger investors, he says, "I think it's shortsighted."
The good news is that for just about every U.S. company in China, there's a local alternative. Investors who believe in the growth of China's Internet could consider Baidu BIDU 2.09542687243381% Baidu Inc.

China's accounting still leaves much to be desired, but there are rules of thumb that can help weed out potential problems. Investors should avoid companies without long track records, says Richard Gao, portfolio manager of the $2.1 billion Matthews China Fund (MCHFX), who recommends at least three years of history. And the shorter the track record, the more due diligence required: "You have to look at whether management has been able to deliver what they promised in the past," Gao says.
Investors should also avoid getting too excited about any single stock, Henry says. That's because China's companies enjoy advantages such as high economic growth rates, which can make just about any stock look like a buy. Henry's recommendation: "Spend a lot of time looking for reasons you don't want to own a company," he says.
Investors will still find plenty of opportunities in China.

Along with micro computer technology, this 5-1/2-cup rice cooker and warmer provides superior induction heating for more evenly distributed heat to ensure perfectly cooked rice every time. Choose from a variety of cooking functions including white rice (regular, softer, or harder), mixed rice, sushi rice, porridge, sweet rice, and quick cooking. In addition, healthy cooking options include brown rice, GABA brown rice, and germinated brown rice. The unit's black, thick, spherical, inner cooking pan and heating system provide even heating, and its interchangeable melody and beep signal indicates when the cooking cycle has ended. Other highlights include a detachable and washable inner lid, an easy-to-read LCD control panel with clock and timer features, and automatic keep warm and extended keep warm, as well as a delay timer with two settings and a detachable power cord. The unit's clear-coated stainless-steel exterior not only cleans easily, but also matches any kitchen decor. Accessories include a spatula, a spatula holder, and a rice-measuring cup. The 1230-watt rice cooker and warmer measures 14-3/16 by 9-13/16 by 7-15/16 inches.
This is a menu setting designed to cook delicious brown rice. In order to cook hard rice bran and the rice inside, preheating time is extended for better absorption of water, and is cooked at a lower temperature to allow the rice to cook longer without becoming mushy.
Because sushi rice will be processed after it's cooked, it's easier to handle when it is a little firmer. This menu setting is very similar to regular white rice, but uses less water (adjusted by the water fill lines) for a firm finish.
Mixed rice is rice cooked with additional ingredients and seasonings. This setting extends preheating for better absorption of seasoning. Also, the cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to avoid ingredients from boiling over.
Instead of cooking rice in larger amounts of water and risk making it sloppy, use the porridge setting to cook fluffy porridge. Cooking temperature is slightly lower than regular white rice, to be cooked longer for soft texture.
A newly discovered way of cooking brown rice to "activate" it and increase natural occurring gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an amino acid in brown rice believed to have health giving properties such as lowering blood pressure, improving kidney function and relieving stress. The brown rice is "activated" by soaking it at 104°F for 2 hours before the actual cooking begins. All Induction Heating System rice cookers, including the IH Pressure models, have the GABA brown rice setting.
Aided by microcomputer technology, this category of rice cooker takes having rice on your menu from occasional to serious. MICOM allows the cooker to have multiple functions on its menu, making it a necessity for any avid rice fan who wants to incorporate rice into her daily diet. The microchip does all the thinking for you by, based on the type of rice you are cooking, from adjusting cooking times, temperatures, and timing the pre-soak of the raw grains to the final "wait" period during steaming.
Conventional rice cookers simply turn on and off in reaction to temperature. The "fuzzy logic" of MICOM fine-tunes this adjustment to adapt to various rice types, such as white, brown, sweet or porridge, which all have different cooking requirements. The trigger to everything is the thermal sensor, a small round button at the bottom of the inner body of the cooker. As the inner pan's weight rests on it and activates the sensor, it starts the cooking process and keeps an eye on the temperature and time.
Induction Heating took rice cooking to another level by introducing another dimension to the heating process. Where the heating element would normally be located at the bottom of the cooker, IH transforms the entire inner cooking pan into a heat conductor, allowing for higher, more precise and more uniform cooking temperatures.
Induction heating occurs when a magnetic material enters a magnetic field. This is recreated by passing an electric current through coils located at the bottom of the rice cooker's body. As the special, 2-ply inner cooking pan is placed inside, a magnetic field is created, which in turn generates instant heat. The entire cooking pan becomes the heat source, with the ability to cook at higher temperatures, which can be turned on and off instantly for greater control.
Well worth the purchase, it's a relief to know the rice will be perfect every time and hot at dinner time. Read morePublished 5 days ago by Stacey Benn

The flickering is caused when rotating turbine blades periodically cast shadows through openings, such as windows.
A report commissioned by the Department for Energy and Climate Change recommended that turbines should be built no closer than 10 rotor diameters from the nearest home.
This means that if the blade had an 80metre (262ft) diameter, it should be at least 800 metres, or half a mile away.
Shadow flicker is worse when the sun is low in the sky in winter, when the wind can also be strong.
Studies cited in the report said that, over the long term, it could cause "a significant nuisance".
It was also a risk for a small number of people with epilepsy.
Although the report concluded that flicker was not a "significant health risk", protesters insist the issue can cause headaches and stress–related problems.
Lynn Harlock, who lives almost half a mile from Redtile wind farm in Cambridgeshire, said she was "sick to death" of flicker.
"You cannot sit in any rooms when the sun is setting at certain times of year," she said.
"It is like flashing strobe lighting. It is quite upsetting not being able to sit in your own home.
"People think you are barmy. They think you are after compensation. But all we want is our home back."
The report recommended that homes and offices within 500 meters, or a third of a mile, of a turbine should not suffer flicker for more than 30 minutes a day or 30 hours a year.
Developers applying for planning permission where there could be a flicker should put in place measures to stop significant nuisance, it added.
In many cases, problems could be solved by shutting a turbine down for short periods of the year, changing the position slightly or planting vegetation and trees.
The Coalition wants to build up to 6,000 wind turbines onshore over the next 10 years.
Charles Hendry, minister for energy and climate change, welcomed the report. He said new planning laws would ensure turbines were sited where there was plenty of wind rather than near residential areas where they might cause protests. Planning guidance would stick to the "10 diameter rule".
Lee Moroney, a wind energy expert with the Renewable Energy Foundation, said the rules were not strong enough and wind turbines should not be built within a mile of residential areas.
Birds are not so eagle–eyed after all, according to a study that found that some species crash into wind turbines and power lines because they do not look where they are going.
Professor Graham Martin at the University of Birmingham said large birds of prey and sea birds were particularly vulnerable to crashing into man–made structures. In a study published in the journal Ibis, he suggested the reason was because birds had evolved to look for movement either side and potential prey on the ground rather than straight ahead.
He suggested that wind farms or other structures should have decoys on the ground to try to distract birds, or emit sound to alert them to the danger.

It Wasn't Chara's Choice To Leave Ottawa
by Paul on 07/05/06 at 09:55 AM ET
Comments (0)
Before leaving Ottawa yesterday, he agreed to an exclusive one-on-one interview with Sun hockey writer Bruce Garrioch. Here is an edited transcript of their discussion: SUN: Are you disappointed things didn't work out with Ottawa? CHARA: "Oh, yes, for sure. My first priority was to stay in Ottawa. I love the city. I love the fans. The fans here are so passionate about hockey. They care for the team and every game was sold out. I love the guys. I loved living here. I'm obviously very sad to leave. But I had to move on. It wasn't my choice. It wasn't my decision. I'm excited to go to Boston."read on

Summary: Xinerama blocks chipset and GLX fails on Asus
Kernel Version: 22.214.171.124
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Owner: drivers_video-dri@...
Submitter: aa@...
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 220.127.116.11
Distribution: Using Vanilla kernel, not stack. (ArchLinux)
Hardware Environment: Asus M2400N, Centrino, Intel 855GM
Software Environment: Linux/X.org/KDE
Problem Description:
GLX seems to be buggy. glxgears work flawlessly. glxinfo says direct rendering
is on. However, OpenGL screensavers and apps either fail immediately, or produce
a strange output, using only the upper part of the screen. Some of them
segmentation faulted soon afterwards.
Xinerama does not work any more. The double-headed layout cannot be used any
more. An attempt to load X with double-headed layout results in blocking the
chipset and the machine has to be rebooted to make X work again.
Steps to reproduce:
Launch X with KDE or Gnome and try some GL screensavers like Euphoria. Try
startx with a double-headed layout or Xinerama turned on.

I bought this because it had such great reviews, but I have to say I'm not as impressed with it as most people here. What I love most about it is that my skin is now so incredibly smooth it's unbelievable. My skin is noticeably brighter, but whether this is a lasting effect remains to be seen.
The only negative aspect of this product is that the jar makes it very difficult to get the exfoliator out. It got a little messy at first until I gave up on using my fingers and used a spatula.
However, while the price is extremely high for so little product and the effects are nowhere near what I expected, I will still repurchase. I have very flaky skin and this has made it so smooth, something that no other product has ever managed to do. I seriously cannot stop touching my skin.

overall experience with this product has been good. 2 step process, but when it says it will "foam" it doesnt foam like soapy foam, so dont get confused and start using more and more just because you dont see the foam.
i use this product twice a week, and so far i have used it for only a week, but its been good so far. my boyfriends sister gave me hers because shes pregnant so she switched to organic products.
i am a fan of philosophy products but the price is major debby downer! but if you have the money to splurge, try this out!

This is terrific! I was hesitant to buy this with the high price tag but I am so glad I did. I have never used any peel before and can't believe I have been missing out. I use it once a week and I feel so pampered when I do. It leaves my skin so soft and smooth. My makeup goes on better. I swear my lines and wrinkles are smoother. My pores are smaller also. I don't think it fades my dark areas much but that isn't what I am using it for. I use it for the incredible way my skin feels and looks. I am half way done with my current kit but I will repurchase.

I love Thursday and Sundays because I use the peel on these days! This peel is my HG and is the only thing that can extract the blackheads on my nose, and I've tried plenty of products aimed at that with no succession. I also love the silky smooth feel of the skin right after using it. I have oily and kind of sensitive skin, and my skin gets just a little red if I rub it in too hard (even though instructions say to massage, not scrub), but it goes away immediately and it also doesn't give me any stinging or burning that some other peels do. It's great at keeping my face looking and feeling clean.

I got this in a make-up optional kit. It came with 3 samples, which each sample was good for 2 uses. I absoultely love this. It was like magic after the first use. My skin was energized. It reduces my pores and left my skin very soft. I have used it twice in the last week along with my other philosophy skin care regimen. I am looking into buy the oil of olay microderm abrasion kit vs this one due to the price of $40 vs $24. It smells good and you will love the results too

INCREADIBLE. I am thrilled with this two step process. I have done this once a week for 3 weeks, and LOVE the feeling of my skin after. I get SO excited when its time to do it each week. I generally tend to stay away from these types of products that may contain any harsh exfoliating beads because I tend to have breakouts from them. This did NO such thing. I am in love with this Microdelivery Peel. I recommend it to all my skincare lovers.

This product works incredibly well. It makes my skin feel baby soft. My only issue with it is the cost. When I opened step 1 it immediately reminded me of my homemade sugar and lemon juice peel which I personally feel works equally as well and for around $60 less. Don't get me wrong this product is wonderful, but for students on a budget such as myself, you might want to go the homemade, natural route.

I was in Ulta and tried this while I was in the store barefaced. I walked away and returned to the mirror and was like WOW. My pores were smaller, and my skin completed exfoliated. It was close to $40, but I use just one pad once a week and 60 come in the jar....so it's a good value. And it doesn't dry up if you keep the jar tight. Its a good addition to my skincare routine. I would definitely buy again.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Legislature passed a $4.1 billion state budget Friday after lawmakers wrangled on whether to give more money to schools and medical facilities that treat the poor.
SD lawmakers OK budget after priority dispute
The House voted 48-7 late Friday night to approve the spending plan recommended earlier in the day by the Legislature's Joint Appropriations Committee. The Senate passed the budget 31-4 just after 11:30 p.m., bringing an end to the main run of this year's legislative session. Lawmakers will return to the Capitol for a final day March 25 to consider any vetoes issued by the governor.
In the House and Senate floor debates, Democrats made a final effort to cut spending in other areas so money could be shifted to support education and medical services for the poor, but the Republican majority rejected the proposal in debates similar to those held earlier by the Appropriations Committee.
Democrats argued that the Legislature should give more money to support ongoing spending in education and medical care. Majority Republicans said the budget takes care of schools and medical facilities while supporting other priorities.
"It feels to me like we're putting big business before people, before kids," Sen. Billie Sutton, D-Burke, said.
After the Appropriations Committee voted to reject extra funding for nursing homes and other facilities that rely heavily on Medicaid, the state-federal program that provides health care for poor people, House Appropriations Chair Fred Romkema said lawmakers had to make tough votes to balance the budget.
"We're making some painful decisions here," Romkema told the dozens of state officials, lobbyists and other lawmakers who watched the Appropriations Committee meet over much of the day. "We don't have the money in the budget. We don't relish these votes. We're looking for a balanced budget for South Dakota."
The committee rejected most of the 59 proposed changes to the budget. The panel's recommended spending plan made few changes in Gov. Dennis Daugaard's recommended budget, which gives roughly 3 percent ongoing increases to K-12 schools, universities and the hospitals and other facilities in the Medicaid program.
However, lawmakers noted that the Legislature in recent days approved separate bills that give extra money on a one-time basis to school districts and the medical facilities that treat poor residents. One of those special spending measures gives schools an extra one-time boost in state aid of 1 percent, or $5.8 million. Technical schools get an extra $200,000. And all Medicaid providers got an extra 1 percent one-time increase, with nursing homes and other facilities that are heavily dependent on Medicaid money getting extra help.
The measure would spend nearly $4.1 billion in the budget year beginning July 1. About $1.33 billion will come from state general tax funds, up about $29 million from this fiscal year. Another $1.7 billon comes from federal funds, with about $1.1 million coming from other funds dedicated to specific uses such as roads.
Daugaard had left some money uncommitted in his budget proposal, and the Legislature is spending about $33 million in one-time money on schools, Medicaid, a new economic development program and other projects.
The committee rejected a request by Rep. Susan Wismer, D-Britton, to add $5.8 million to give schools an extra 1 percent in ongoing state aid. She said school districts need ongoing money because they cannot make long-term plans with one-time money that may not be granted in future years.
But Rep. Dean Wink, R-Howes, said the Legislature cannot make long-term funding commitments while facing uncertainty caused by federal budget problems and the possibility that South Dakota will be hit by drought for a second straight year.
House Democratic Leader Bernie Hunhoff of Yankton asked the committee to change Medicaid to provide prenatal care to pregnant women who are in the country illegally. The governor supported the proposal, but the committee rejected it on mostly party lines.
The committee approved spending another $2 million to shore up a pension fund for workers at the former State Cement Plant, which the state sold more than a decade ago. Another $4 million from the treasury will be transferred to an economic development fund to replace incentive payments given to two businesses last year when the state had no incentive program to lure businesses to South Dakota.
Other changes endorsed by the committee include $500,000 for grants to help schools upgrade their computer technology, $500,000 for equipment upgrades at technical institutes, and $159,000 to help Northern State University continue providing some courses online to school districts that lack science or math teachers.
The Appropriations Committee also added $500,000 to the Legislature's own budget to pay for an increase in lawmakers' daily expense allowances and their travel to meetings outside the state. The extra money also might be used to hire additional legislative staff.

1902 $5 PR64 NGC....Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
1902 Half Eagle, Bright PR64
1902 $5 PR64 NGC. The 1902 proof Liberty half eagle boasts a
mintage of 162 pieces, and unimpaired survivors are very rare in
today's market. The Mint employed an all-brilliant finish on proof
coins beginning in 1902, so few specimens from this era show any
trace of cameo contrast.
Very Scarce in High Grades
This impressive Choice specimen offers fully struck design elements, with little of the mint frost that characterized the earlier proof issues. The fields are deeply mirrored and show some light horizontal die striations on the obverse, with light greenish-gold highlights and outstanding eye appeal. Census: 6 in 64, 4 finer (3/13).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2011), lot 4672, which realized $12,075; New York Signature (Heritage, 12/2011), lot 4619, which brought $12,075.(Registry values: P1) (NGC ID# 28D8, PCGS# 8497)

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 37 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Safari44 A pretend stick I have a dog who is a chewer, so I got some of these in hopes it would work for him. And it did. Seems to help with him dragging sticks inside to chew. October 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by adonis great durability!! having a pitBull just over 1 yr of age.. this product stands up to his need to chew. applause applause finally a toy that has lasted. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kayla319 Awesome for tough chewers! My dogs can only have to toughest toys because they destroy everything else. This is one of their favorite toys and I have bought five of these so far. They last a long time and are safe for dogs all dogs. The wolf size toy is good for dogs up to 50 pounds in my opinion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TildyK My Dobies and Weim love these! They loooove these, especially when I squirt canned cheese whiz into the holes. They are happy for quite some time when given these special treats! February 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by holsenya Good idea... My dog Aeris couldn't really chew on this...I did put treats inside and she liked that...I probably should have gotten the medium or small size... January 14, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Thankyou Not sure about this It is very hard. For that reason I would be a little nervous of my dog breaking a tooth. I gave it Away February 9, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by cheryl4 seemed to be too harsh on dogs teeth the product looks great and my dog liked it at first. Everytime he was chewing on it, it sounded like his teeth were breaking, I could not listen to the sound, it made my teeth hurt. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JennyB Great for strong chewers! We bought this for our lab/pit/mastiff puppy when he was 12 weeks old, it helped us get through his teething phase and he still enjoys it ten months later! Our guy chews through everything but not this! We buy a lot of Nylabones, all are great but this is by far his favorite one. Eventually we're going to have to get a replacement...will definitely purchase this one again. August 9, 2015
