Eudermine : a fantastic lotion . A toner, a beauty essence , a facial skin softener.
Originally dubbed 'Shiseido's Red Water ' From 1897
The name Eudermine comes from the Greek Eu meaning good and Derma meaning skin.
( Ref .History of Shiseido . Shiseido Group website. )
I have known about this lotion for years but did not bother to try it till last month.
The bottle is so elegant and so very Shiseido ( and Serge Lutens actually ... invoking the bottles of SL perfumes available today . )
The bottle is heavy red glass with a screw on plastic red cap. You dispense the lotion to cotton straight from the mouth of the bottle. Especially when the bottle is full , you do need to give it a few heavy shakes to get the lotion onto cotton. I need 5 generous shakes of lotion to cover face and neck.
The product is EXCELLENT . Give it time and use the product 2-3 times a day . Overall I can say the texture , luminosity ,feel and hydration of my skin has been very good using this product. ( it is winter time for me with single digit temps and heating )
Now after using half a bottle , 2-3 times a day morning and evening.. I find that I do not need to apply any sort of moisturizer or facial oil before going straight to foundation in the morning.
I cannot imagine not incuding Eudermine into my facial routine now.
I really applaud Shiseido for keeping this product all these years ,for the elegant and classic packaging and for a product which does not require fanfare and advertising and YET works so so well.
5 star product.
This is one that you should try .
For a bottle the price is about USD 57 before CA tax .

I love this toner. The scent is light and it absorbs very quickly. the bottle is absolutely gorgeous, though the glass stopper is a little inconvenient. Nevertheless, I would buy this again. It's a luxury for a reasonable price.

I only tried it on my forehead at first, and thanks god!!! after few days, my forehead break out with a lot small bumps, some pimples. what a nightmare!! after i stopped, the pimples clam down a lot. besides it gave acne, i really don't feel anything special abut this product. never going to try it again.

I love this product and I am sure you will love it too! I have dry skin and this product really makes my skin glow. My skin looks healthy and is baby smooth when I use it. I just put a few drops in my palms and damp it on my skin, that way the product wont go to waste in a cotton pad. Because it is expensive and really good I just want to use every drop of it! I should maybe mention that I bought this bottle about 4 months ago and I have used it 1-2x a week and I have only used like 1/5 of the bottle. It makes my skin very hydrated and it lasts all day under my day cream, it makes a huge difference. You can put the product on your eye-area and it is perfect for lips to make them more full and hydrated (I have heard that Angelina Jolie does that.. ) Overall this is a really good toner that I use few times a week when my skin is getting dry and it helps to put back the moisture in my skin. It does it job like no other product that I hew ever tried! LOVE LOVE LOVE

Product is also know as: Eudermine
I can only describe this heavenly product as a combination of Moisturizer/Toner/Skin Softener/Balancer though I don't think it alone can stand as a moisturizer but it does moisturize.This product was recommended to me by two friends of mine from Japan, insisting that it is one of the best skin softener product ever and that they would use this till the day they died. Seeing as how they have been using this product since they were about 13-15 (I hear some girls in Japan start doing facials at the age of 12, wow!) I figured "ah sure why not give it a try?" I brought it, tried it and I will agree with them. I most definitely will use this product till the day I die. Not only did it smell amazing and come in beautiful bottle/packaging design, it's light and quick absorbing so you can pretty much your a moisturizer immediately after applying it and also makes your skin super soft and smooth. After I cleanse my face, I use my rosewater toner, then I use this product and finally my moisturizer. Sounds excessive? Perhaps but the results of my skin looking and feeling a couple of years younger is worth it!
The Shiseido consultant showed me how to apply it by using your hands but that in my opinion makes you waste some of the product which is why I chose to use cotton pads to apply it on my face and use the extra remaining on the pads on my hands. 3 - 4 dabs (err... basically cover the opening with the pad and flip it over 3 - 4 times in a tight circle shape if that makes any sense) is really all you need for your entire face (I never really needed to use more than that). Once you are done with your face, swipe the cotton pad over the back of your hand (optional). Saves you product and money.
Pricey? Yes but believe me, it's worth the splurge. The smaller bottle (125 ml / 4.2 fl. oz and about $56 without tax) lasted me over half a year (I'd say a good 7 and a half months or so) and the larger one (200 ml / 6.7 fl. oz and a little over $20 more) so far is still not even half way and I have brought this a little less than 6 months ago and I use them during my facial regiment day and night. I was told by my friends in Japan that the large one will last well over a year if you don't abuse it (but since I haven't had the larger bottle for more than a year yet, I can't say that's true).
I recommended it to so many people from woman in their 40's to girls in their 20's and each and every one of them have been re-buying this product. It really great for almost all ages though some consultants would argue that the "Hydro-Balancing Softener" from Shiseido's "Skincare" line is lighter and better for younger skin I would still go for this products hands down. It's definitely a must buy that's worth every penny

Yes, in a heartbeat would I buy this product again. It comes in a gloriously red glass bottle. Now the top is not a stopper, it's a twist on, so don't break it opening! The liquid is a thicker version of the balancing toner - almost like a serum. I put 2-3 drops on my hands, maybe a tad more if I feel really dry, and just press it into my skin. My skin absorbs it readily and feels super soft afterwards. The smell is very light and very pleasant. The texture is not oily at all and leaves no oily residue. I find that on my highly sensitive skin, it calms it. I am using a highly reactive anti-aging treatment and I used it once without this serum first and I had irritation till I fell asleep. This morning, I used the serum first and then the treatment and had far less irritation, almost to the point of nothing. LOVE this stuff, looks beautiful, works even better! Definitely worth the investment to me.

Along with Shiseido's Bio-Performance, this is a repeat buy for me. The prices for both these products are very high, but this one of the very few skin lotions/toners that doesn't irritate my skin. It's also the most moisturizing toner I've tried. It also absorbs well and helps the Bio-Performance to absorb too. The bottle is a little awkward to deal with, but it's so pretty I leave it out for show.
Contrary to Shiseido's suggestion, I don't waste this precious product on cotton pads!! I'll pour a little into my palm, rub my hands together to distribute it and really press it into my skin. My skin says, "Thank you!" every time.

Nice bottle, although kind of awkward to get the product out. The best thing about this toner is the smell; it really is nice. Does the job as a toner -- I used a sample size bottle, so I can't comment on the price, although I see that other reviewers say it is quite expensive.

I love this toner. It makes my skin soft and clean. But the price is really expensive for toner. I don't think it's worth to pay that much even though it is a good toner.

Just a couple months after introducing what has proven to be its first serious move to embrace the channel, Dell surprised the market with its first major acquisition.
That acquisition, iSCSI pioneer EqualLogic, closed in January, and got attention for several reasons. It made Dell a leader in a technology that it did not resell or OEM from others. It gave Dell an instant, ready-made channel to go to with its new channel strategy. It took the company a half-year or so to convince key EqualLogic solution providers to commit to working with Dell's EqualLogic products, but Dell did win them over.
The acquisition also made Dell an instant competitor to its biggest storage partner, EMC. Dell's portion of EMC's sales revenue since the acquisition has started falling, although both companies will say all's well.
At $1.4 billion, the acquisition was considered by many to be expensive, but Dell had to go that high to beat potential competitors, especially HP, which is rumored to have also been in the running.

Join the celebratory fun and festivities as the Marion Oaks Public Library recognizes its 20-year anniversary with a Book Lovers Ball on Saturday, Jan. 26.
I recently received a note from Carole LaMotte, who wrote: "Join the celebratory fun and festivities as the Marion Oaks Public Library recognizes its 20-year anniversary with a Book Lovers Ball on Saturday, Jan. 26, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Marion Oaks Community Center (294 Marion Oaks Lane, Ocala). Children, adults and families will receive 'royal' treatment as they enjoy a variety of entertainment options, including music, games, crafts, door prizes and refreshments.
"Attendees, who may dress in costume or casually, will also be able to have their picture taken with special equine guests from Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses.
"The Marion Oaks Public Library has provided reading and educational materials to Marion County residents since 1992. A grassroots effort of the Friends of the Marion Oaks Public Library, the facility initially opened as a community library through fundraising and volunteer efforts of the Friends group.

BABOONS: I recently printed a note that said something about the collective noun for baboons is a congress.
Celene Petkash, Summerfield, takes issue with that statement. She wrote, in part: "Dear Sly Guy, (You'll always be Sly Guy to me. It's the only way I remember how to pronounce your name!) 'Making its way around the Internet' is becoming more and more a tipoff to check contents. A congress of baboons is a joke — worthy of its intended and sadly appropriate laugh, but a joke all the same. The accepted expression is a troop of baboons. Less used is rumpus of baboons. So my point is, appreciate the joke, but recognize the joke. Besides, connecting baboons with our current Congress is hardly fair to baboons.
"I never miss reading your column. OK, rarely miss it. Looking forward to your planned tweaks. And my best to Dearly Beloved, the woman behind the man, without whom, oh, you get the rest."
VALENTINES FOR VETS: Faithful reader Georgeanne Stancil Schore wrote: "Valentine's Day will be here soon, and I know the soldiers in the VA hospital in Gainesville and those at our VFW Retirement Home in Fort McCoy would love to receive a card. These cards will bring a smile to their faces, and they will know they haven't been forgotten on such a special day.
"Please put the individual cards in a large envelope and mail to: Voluntary Services, VA Medical Center, 1601 SW Archer Road, Gainesville, FL 32608 and/or VFW Retirement Home, 12801 NW 139th Place, Fort McCoy, FL 32134.
"I've been doing this for several years, and know the veterans appreciate being remembered."
And thank you, Georgeanne, for caring about those who have served their nation and all of us so faithfully.
VOWELS: Belleview's Kim Herman wrote some time back: "I met an older fellow who is upset with you as he had sent you an email some time ago to which you had not responded. He said you had made the statement that a word could not be formed without a vowel. His response was 'why'— which he said was proof that a word, 'why', could exist without containing a vowel.
"I told him my vowel remembrance from school was 'a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y.'
"He said he had never heard of such nonsense, that when he was in school the last vowel at that time was 'u.' "
Kim, I do not remember such a note to me, but if I had received one, I would have told him the same thing you did: Y is used as a vowel sometimes, a good example being in the word "why."
The fact he feels that answer is nonsense has no bearing on the issue. The answer is correct, whether he approves of it or not. Y is sometimes considered to be a vowel because it can sound like a, e or i in some words. "Cry" and "my" are other words (like "why"), where the y assumes the role of a vowel.
Many people seem to latch onto the first part of a saying but forget the rest of it, like the "and sometimes y" part in this example. Another one where the last part of a saying is often ignored is "i before e except after c," which is widely quoted, but the full form is "i before e, except after c, or when sounded as 'a,' as in neighbor and weigh."
Which just illustrates that some students paid attention in English class and some did not.

It's the largest remaining block of undeveloped land in the lower 48. The Greater Canyonlands region is also among the world's most scenic places, widely considered a national treasure, and Democratic Utah lawmakers want the federal government to take immediate steps to protect this 1.5-million-acre red rock maze of canyons, mesas, spires, natural bridges and arches, and mountains in the southeast corner of the state.
A joint resolution introduced Tuesday, however, does not ask President Obama to invoke the Antiquities Act to designate the monument proposed by the outdoor recreation industry, but rather seeks to gather public input in a transparent process for deciding how best to preserve this largely federally-owned landscape.
"We hope to bring a calm, rational, productive and civil discussion full of facts and figures about what should be protected as the premier recreational lands in the United States," said sponsor Sen. Jim Dabakis during a news conference Tuesday on the Capitol steps. "It's a great treasure we have been given stewardship over. We are open to what kind protections should be built."
His SJR10 calls for preserving this world-famous landscape as "a natural, pristine, and undeveloped area for enjoyment, recreation, and use of current and future generations." It seems tailored to avoid the kind of political blowback that arose with President Bill Clinton's 1996 designation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. But the resolution was still met with skepticism from San Juan County, which hosts much of the acreage proposed for protection, along with Grand, Wayne, Emery and Garfield counties.
"We have 11 designations in this county to protect the land. Is one more designation going to do more?" county Commissioner Bruce Adams asked. "We don't need added protections in San Juan County. We are already trying to provide services with the 8 percent of the land in private property that we can tax."
He noted that most outdoor recreationists who visit his remote corner of the state come from metro areas.
"When they get lost or when they get hurt, who do they want to rescue them? They don't call Salt Lake County, they call San Juan County," Adams said.
But conservationists say recreation is the "highest and best use" of this area, which faces pressure from extractive industries. Exploratory drilling for potash is under way near Hatch Point and large deposits of tar sands underlie the western parts of the region proposed for protection.
"Greater Canyonlands' remoteness has preserved historic and scientific resources beyond the national parklands and provided unmatched opportunities for research, solitude, and renewal from a largely untapped library of 12,000 years of human history, an unparalleled story of the southwestern frontier spanning from Ice Age mammoth hunters to ancestral puebloans to pioneers, early settlers, and uranium prospectors," wrote Dabakis in his first piece of legislation since assuming the seat vacated by Ben McAdams after his election as Salt Lake County mayor. Dabakis continues to serve as state Democratic Party chairman.
On Tuesday he was joined by House sponsor, Patrice Arent of Millcreek and other Democratic lawmakers, sportsmen, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, conservationists, and nature writer Stephen Trimble in extolling the spiritual and economic values of the canyon country they hope to keep unmarred for recreation of all kinds.
"It's a place where we can heal our wounds," said military veteran Steve Thiese.
The landscape these interests want protected surrounds the 338,000-acre Canyonlands National Park, which covers the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers and is visited by 440,000 people a year. The resolution lays out a case that more protection is warranted and will serve the greater good, arguing this landscape "rivals the Grand Canyon in importance and scale."
Outdoor recreation generates $5.8 billion annually in economic activity in Utah, supports 65,000 jobs and adds nearly $300 million to state coffers, said Black Diamond Equipment executive Mark Ritchie, who backs the resolution.

Edward Durell Stone and the Building of the Uptown Campus, 1961-1971
Architectural model of the Uptown Campus designed by Edward Durell Stone as viewed from the north to the south.
Edward Durell Stone and the Building of the Uptown Campus, 1961-1971 contains items drawn from the M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives' University Archives and book collection and is on exhibit in the lobby of the University Library from September through December 2006 and an expanded version will be unveiled in January 2007 in the Science Library. A number of items and information from the exhibit are made available here as an introduction to the physical exhibit. As part of the Architecture at Albany year-long exploration of the built environment at the University at Albany and its surrounding community, the exhibit profiles the work of architect Edward Durrell Stone, provides a glimpse into the construction of the Uptown Campus, and highlights the reactions to and uses of the University at Albany's Main Campus. The exhibit was curated by Geoffrey P. Williams, University Archivist.
Edward Durell Stone
Edward Durell Stone was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1902 and died in New York City in 1978. He attended the University of Arkansas, Harvard Architectural School, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Architecture. Initially a disciple of the International School of architecture, by the 1950s he had developed his own romantic international style. By the mid-1950s Stone was so well known that he was featured on the cover of Time magazine, a singular honor for an architect. By then he had designed the United State Embassy in New Delhi, India (1954) and the United States Pavilion at the Brussels World Fair.
Governor Nelson Rockefeller and the Campus
Governor Nelson Rockefeller picked Edward Durell Stone to design a campus that concentrated buildings in the center of the campus, leaving cars and parkland around the perimeter. Governor Nelson Rockefeller took a keen interest in the campus, addressing the first Commencement in 1966, loaning his art collection for the first University Art Gallery exhibit and attending it's opening, and campaigning for President on the campus in 1968.
Campus Construction
The Uptown Campus was constructed between 1961 and 1971 on the former rolling hills of the Albany Country Club and the first classes were held on the Academic Podium in the fall 1966. The entire area was bulldozed into a flat sandy site removing all trees and contours before construction started. During construction, all of the supporting columns, walls, and roofs were pre-cast yielding significant construction savings as forms were used over and over again.
The Academic Podium as the Center of the Academy
Stone's vision of the Academic Podium as the center of the Academy has had considerable success. From the late 1960s to today the podium has been the favored site for political demonstrations, student activities, and official activities such as Candlelight Ceremony welcoming freshman and Torch Night. The Academic Podium also has a lighter side. Students coined the word "podiating" to describe informally relaxing on the podium. The fountain area quickly attracted student interest, first as a wading pool, and then as the site of Fountain Day, a sometimes raucous celebration of the arrival of spring. Stone was pleased by the use of the fountain as an informal wading pool.
Additional Resources
The M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives' holdings include a number of resources related to the University at Albany's campuses including:

Aviva Premiership
Bath recruit Munster's Peter Stringer

Bath have drafted in Munster's Peter Stringer on a short-term deal lasting between seven and eight weeks.
The west country side are currently without first choice half-back Michael Claassens, who is out for between three and four weeks, and they have moved quickly to add Stringer to their resources. He will vie with fellow No.9s Chris Cook and Mark McMillan for a spot in their first-team.
Bath have already added short-term injury cover this year with hooker Brett Sharman and flanker Mat Gilbert signing and Gary Gold is hopeful that Stringer will have a positive impact at the club.
"Peter is a world class professional and has an incredible amount of experience he can bring to the squad," Gold said. "He is still keen to compete at the highest level, and we are short at scrum-half at the moment due to injury. I'm sure he'll be a huge asset to our other nine's with his invaluable experience and exceptional work ethic."
Munster coach Rob Penney praised Stringer's mentality and wished him well at Bath. "As things stand, the opportunity that Peter desires to play top level rugby consistently doesn't present itself here in Munster," Penney said. "Cognisant of that desire we are happy to accomodate him and Bath Rugby's request and hope the arrangement proves mutually beneficial. A consummate professional is every aspect of his conduct, he makes the move with our very best wishes."
Stringer will bring vast experience to Bath having made over 200 appearances for Munster and he also has 98 Ireland caps to his name. He is no stranger to the Aviva Premiership having played for both Saracens and Newcastle last season making a combined total of 11 appearances in England's top flight.

Access to the surface burner valves and oven thermostat can be accomplished by removing all the burner knobs and two screws, one on each end, that hold the front panel in place. The oven door switch is also located on the right side of the panel, and care must be take to prevent damage during reassembly. The oven door is quite heavy and can be removed once the hinge keeper plates have been removed. And the oven bake burner assembly can be accessed by removing the bottom trim, and then pulled from the rear of the range. Each of the surface burners are held in place with screws, and a rubber seal helps control the air leakage into the burner as well as protecting the inside of the range from spills.
Overall, I liked the quality of the range and the very simple approach to the design. No extra bells and whistles just for the sake of having them, everything about this range is designed with the residential chef in mind. And for the service technician, most everything is easy to get to, including the wiring diagram which is right on the back panel, just in case.

Anaconda Updates
anaconda has the capability to incorporate updates at runtime to fix any bugs or issues with the installer. These updates are generally distributed as a disk image file (referred to as
updates.img from here on out). The
updates.img can be used in a few different ways.
Updates types
There are a number of sources for the updates.
Updates from the Network
The easiest and most popular way to use an
update.img is via the network. This is how almost all updates images you'll see in bug reports and mailing lists are distributed. This does not require you modify your installation tree at all.
To use this method, simply boot with:
linux updates=http://some.website.com/path/to/updates.img
If you have multiple network interfaces, anaconda will first prompt you to select one (unless you have used the
ksdevice= boot parameter). It will then attempt to configure this link using DHCP. If you require other networking configuration, you will need to use various options.
ksdevice= can be used to specify a different network device, and the
ip= option (along with others for gateway, nameserver, and so forth) can be used for static configuration. All anaconda config options are described elsewhere .
If you are making your own
updates.img, just upload it to a web server you have access to and pass the location as above.
Updates from a disk image
You can also put an
updates.img on a block device (either a floppy or a USB key). This can be done only with an ext2 filesystem type of updates.img. For a floppy drive, insert your floppy and then run
dd if=updates.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=72k count=20
to put the contents of the image on your floppy. Then, boot the installer with
linux updates
and you will be prompted to provide the location of your update disk.
You can also use a USB key or flash media -- just replace
/dev/fd0 with the device that your USB key is at.
Updates from the Tree
If you're doing a CD, hard drive, HTTP, or FTP install you can also put the
updates.img in your tree to be picked up by all installs automatically. Put the file in the
images/ directory.
For NFS installs, there are two options. You can either put the image in
images/ as above or explode the image into the
RHupdates/ directory in your installation tree.
How to Create an Anaconda Updates Image
If you are working on anaconda or looking at a bug and want to test your own bug fixes, it's easy to create your own updates.img file. There are two formats for the updates.img file. The first, and most common, is an ext2 filesystem. The second is a gzip-compressed cpio archive.
Just do the following steps.
ext2 filesystem image
This is the more traditional form of an updates.img and is required for older releases of anaconda. It is needed if you want to transfer it to a block device (floppy, usb disk, etc). Note that this requires root privileges.
- Create a 1.44MB updates.img image
dd if=/dev/zero of=updates.img bs=1k count=1440
- Format as an ext2 filesystem
mke2fs updates.img
- Mount the image
mount -o loop updates.img /mnt
- Drop updated anaconda python files in a flat directory structure
- Unmount the updates.img
umount /mnt
Compressed cpio archive
This is the newer form of an updates.img and is likely preferred in most cases with current releases of anaconda. In contrast to the above, this does not require root privileges. If can be used only with updates=http:// or updates=ftp:// anaconda boot option.
- Drop updated anaconda files in a flat directory structure, eg: /tmp/updates
(cd /tmp/updates ; find -type f | cpio -c -o) | gzip -c9 > updates.img
How to Examine an Anaconda Updates Image
updates.img files provided by the Fedora project are ext2 filesystem images. To examine one of these files complete the following steps:
- Obtain an
wget http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/updates-f7t2.img
- Decide whether it is ext2 filesystem image or gzip compressed cpio archive:
file updates-f7t2.img
To examine an ext2 filesystem image:
- Mount the file using looopback:
mount -o loop updates-f7t2.img /misc
To examine a cpio archive image:
- create a top level directory to hold the updates.img contents:
mkdir /tmp/updates
- unpack the updates into the directory:
zcat updates.img | (cd /tmp/updates ; cpio -ivd)

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has issued a clarification on his earlier statements about threats to the open Internet, which were originally published in the Guardian newspaper on Monday. In a post on Google+, Brin writes that, while "walled gardens" like those of Facebook and Apple "are not as open as the Web itself," they do not pose the same threat as government censorship.
Though Brin says the Guardian piece was a "good read," it seems as though many secondary reports on the interview (including ours) misunderstood his words to mean that Facebook and Apple were just as threatening as government-imposed Internet censorship, like that found in China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.
Below, the key excerpt from Brin's post:
Today, the primary threat by far to internet freedom is government filtering of political dissent.. This has been far more effective than I ever imagined possible across a number of nations. In addition, other countries such as the U.S. have come close to adopting very similar techniques in order to combat piracy and other vices. I believe these efforts have been misguided and dangerous.
Lastly in the interview came the subject of digital ecosystems that are not as open as the web itself and I think this portion has led to some misunderstanding of my views. So to clarify, I certainly do not think this issue is on a par with government based censorship. Moreover, I have much admiration for two of the companies we discussed — Apple and Facebook. I have always admired Apple's products. In fact, I am writing this post on an Imac and using an Apple keyboard I have cherished for the past seven years. Likewise, Facebook has helped to connect hundreds of millions of people, has been a key tool for political expression and has been instrumental to the Arab Spring. Both have made key contributions to the free flow of information around the world.
Earlier in the post, Brin notes that the Guardian piece quoted only a small portion of a conversation the Google co-founder had with the publication over a matter of months. He also says that "openness is a core value a Google," but stipulates that there are "a number of areas" where the Internet giant "can improve."
"But regardless of how you feel about digital ecosystems or about Google, please do not take the free and open internet for granted from government intervention," writes Brin. "To the extent that free flow of information threatens the powerful, those in power will seek to suppress it."

An update from Rebecca, a theology graduate student participating in the Perkins Global Theological Education Program, studying in Taize, France:
Today we traveled from our base of operations in Macon to Cluny, where we toured the ruins of what was once the largest abbey in the world. To give some perspective, here is a photo of the only remaining section of the building, part of the transept.
I've long been impressed with the sheer size of Notre Dame and the architectural genius that allows this structure to continue to place visitors in the presence of God after centuries of use. A film shown in the Cluny museum, which now stands just near where the doors of the once great abbey stood, compares the two buildings.
After having walked through the ruins, the images in this video took my breath away! Many of our group wanted to label the revolutionaries as unwise (my word; theirs was stronger and more pejorative) for having torn down the place.
- I observed that while their actions may have been short-sighted, any group that has killed the king and the aristocracy, and hopes to maintain power, needs to take steps to protect that power. Given the church's position on the divine right of kings, the revolutionaries undoubtedly destroyed the abbey in part for self preservation. But how sad it is to see this once powerful center of academia and church reform in ruins!
Nevertheless, we were able to explore the interior portions of the remains. These were badly damaged by the revolutionaries as well, who sold stone removed from the structure to locals, who then incorporated it into homes and businesses. Perhaps worst hit inside the remaining structure were the stone carvings of kings, prophets, and disciples.

GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP) — A girl who claims she was waterboarded by her mother's companion, a former pediatrician, told a Delaware jury on Monday the man held her face under a running faucet several times as punishment.
Swiveling back and forth in the witness chair and smiling at times, the 12-year-old recounted how Melvin Morse, who she learned only recently was not her father, punished her in a variety of ways, including waterboarding and putting his hands over her nose and mouth.
The girl said Morse used the term waterboarding, and she was punished for spilling milk, shaking a ketchup bottle and vomiting into a cat's litter box after being made to eat too much.
"Sometimes I think I heard him yell 'Die!'" she said, describing the waterboarding.
Waterboarding simulates drowning and it has been used in the past by U.S. interrogators on terror suspects. Many critics call it torture.
Morse, 60, is facing endangerment and assault charges. Defense attorney Joseph Hurley told has jurors that the girl and her mother, Pauline, have told many conflicting and false stories to authorities over the years and that the waterboarding charges are unfounded.
Morse has authored several books and articles on paranormal science and near-death experiences involving children. He has appeared on shows such as "Larry King Live" and the "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to discuss his research, which also has been featured on an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" and in an article in "Rolling Stone" magazine.
He has specifically denied police claims that he may have been experimenting on the girl.
The girl testified she ran away from home in July 2012, following an incident that led to Morse's arrest.
Morse was accused of grabbing the girl by the ankle and dragging her across a gravel driveway into the family's home. He was arrested, and when the girl was interviewed, she told investigators that Morse also had disciplined her at least four times by waterboarding, leading to additional charges against Morse and the girl's mother, Pauline Morse.
Pauline Morse agreed last year to plead guilty to misdemeanor child endangerment charges and to testify against Melvin Morse. Defense attorneys have suggested that Pauline is cooperating with authorities in an attempt to regain custody of the girl and her younger sister, who remain in foster care but are allowed supervised visits with their mother.
The 12-year-old girl on Monday recounted how she decided to run away the morning after the driveway incident, saying Morse had punished her that night and had warned her "there will be more."
"I was scared he was going to hurt me.... I thought he meant, like, more pain," she said.
Prosecutors have introduced photographs of scratches and bruises on the girl, but she said Monday that several of them came from a bicycle as she pushed it along the road when she ran away from home.
Jurors were shown four homemade videos documenting Morse's encounters with the girl about her behavior.
In the first video, Morse repeatedly asked why she doesn't try to "fix the damage" after she misbehaves.
"Why don't you try to repair things when you do something wrong, sweetheart?" he calmly asked the girl.
In another video, Morse asked the girl why she couldn't recognize that it was "a major crime" to break the rules of the house.
"Has your therapist ever told you that you have to obey your parents?" he asked the girl, who responds affirmatively.
"It kind of gets on my nerves the way he talked to me," she testified Monday when asked about the video.
The girl also said Morse gave her antidepressants and kept a "behavior book" in which he added or subtracted points to determine her disciplinary "level."
Level One included no television, no allowance and not being allowed to eat with the family. Level Two allowed her to eat with the family; Level Three allowed her to choose what kind of sandwich she wanted for lunch. The girl said she never made it to Level Four.
The girl also said Morse subjected her to other punishment, including being forced to stand with arms outstretched and her head against a wall, and being confined to her room without access to the bathroom, forcing her to wet herself or use her toy box as a toilet.
"I tried to stay out of his way so he wouldn't see me and remember something and make me do stuff," she said.
The girl also acknowledged that she twice attempted to contact Morse after his arrest, including sending him an email in December 2012.
"Are you okay. I'm okay. I accept all apologies," she wrote.
In a voicemail, the girl told Morse she missed him.
"I was confused and I was wondering if he was feeling the same way," she explained. "... I just kind of wanted to say hello and I miss you."

NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission grant to expand AgriSafe and Certified Safe Farm programs
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Oct. 9, 2009) — The North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission recently awarded a two-year, $500,000 grant to expand the AgriSafe Network of North Carolina program and to establish a new component, the Certified Safe Farm program for North Carolina agriculture.
A celebration and check presentation will take place Monday, Oct. 12, at 4 p.m. at the Johnston County Cooperative Extension Center, located at 2736 Hwy. 210 in Smithfield. Media are invited to attend.
Based on a successful program developed in Iowa, the AgriSafe Network of North Carolina and Certified Safe Farm of North Carolina programs combine health and safety components proven to result in lower health claims costs and safer, healthier farmers. Agricultural health and safety experts from Iowa are assisting in the development of the program in North Carolina.
Project leaders are Dr. Greg Cope, associate professor and campus coordinator for agromedicine at North Carolina State University; Robin Tutor, interim director of the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute, a partnership of East Carolina University, N.C. State University and North Carolina A&T State University; and Dr. Ed Jones, associate director and state program leader with N.C. Cooperative Extension.
"We believe this grant will have a major impact on farmers and their families," said William Upchurch, executive director of the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission. "The commission is proud to be a partner on this project, and we're excited to see how smarter and healthier lifestyles, in addition to safer farms, will benefit our farmers in many ways."
A long-term goal is to develop health and liability insurance discounts for farmers who successfully participate in the AgriSafe and Certified Safe Farm programs. In addition, project staff will work with advisors to explore other incentives, such as a cost-sharing fund to help offset the costs of making high-priority safety improvements on farms.
The program initially will be offered in Johnston, Duplin and Sampson counties, with the goal to expand into the Piedmont and western regions of the state.
"One of the best features of this program is that services are offered at locations and times convenient to very busy and hard-working farmers, family members and employees," Tutor said. "Health insurance is not required, and most services are provided at little or no cost."
Cooperative Extension agents will receive special training in conducting on-farm safety reviews, as part of the new Certified Safe Farm of North Carolina program. During these one-on-one reviews, farmers will receive tailored recommendations for safety improvements on their farms.
"This is the kind of program that we have envisioned all along for agromedicine in North Carolina," said Cope. "We are excited to see it take shape at the community level."
A major activity of the project will be a course, "Agricultural Medicine: Occupational and Environmental Health for Rural Health Professionals," held Nov. 30 - Dec. 4 in Greenville.
Taught by experts from the University of Iowa, along with faculty and partners of the N.C. Agromedicine Institute, the course will address diagnosis, treatment and prevention of agricultural health conditions. It will be required for nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians and physician assistants interested in becoming AgriSafe providers. Continuing education credit will be offered. (For more information on the course, contact Dr. Jeffery Alejandro, Division of Continuing Studies, East Carolina University, at 1-800-767-9111 or firstname.lastname@example.com).
"Right now, there is little if any agricultural occupational safety and health preparation for nurses, doctors and allied health professionals in North Carolina," Tutor said. "We are excited to collaborate with Dr. Kelley Donham of the University of Iowa, a recognized expert in agricultural medicine, and Natalie Roy, executive director of the AgriSafe Network."
The N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission awarded the grant to the North Carolina Agricultural Foundation, with a subcontract to East Carolina University. Project partners are the Tri-County Community Health Council and the N.C. Cooperative Extension centers of Johnston, Duplin and Sampson Counties.

But now, Taurus, you need the enriching confusion of the Cosmic HUH?! it's prime time for you to wander out into the fertile chaos of the WHAT THE HELL!? zone. Have fun! Don't forget to writhe! Now please repeat and repeat and repeat after me, slowly building from a smirking giggle to a cackling belly-laugh: WHERE AM I AND HOW DID I GET HERE?!
This would be a good week to take a class at clown school, give out free ice cream to the underprivileged, or sing show tunes to a captive audience at a retirement home. In fact, the cosmos will be very favorably disposed toward you if you do anything to increase the pleasure you bring people. Here are some other ways you might proceed: Listen raptly to allies who've lost their way; think deeply about what a loved one needs most; deliver sincere praise to people you've never praised before; say a rowdy prayer for an acquaintance who could use a jolt of inspiration; or do a good deed anonymously, ensuring that the recipient of your blessing doesn't know who gave it.
Charles Darwin called Anglican clergyman Thomas Malthus a "great philosopher," and in The Origin of the Species said his theory of evolution was based on Malthus' ideas. Yet as Darwin knew well, Malthus advocated genocidal measures to control population growth. In his famous "Essay on the Principle of Population as It Affects the Future Improvement of Society," Malthus proposed killing off underprivileged people. "Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor," he wrote, "we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country, we should build villages near stagnant pools, and encourage settlement in marshy and unwholesome situations. But above all, we should reprobate specific remedies for ravaging diseases; and those benevolent, but much mistaken men, who have thought they were doing a service to mankind by projecting schemes for the total extirpation of particular disorders." So the evidence is clear that Darwin's theory of evolution had a grotesque pedigree. Should we therefore dismiss it altogether? Not in my opinion. What's useful is not always derived from what's good. Is there a comparable situation in your own life, Cancerian? Are there essentials you benefit from even though their origins are problematical? The time is ripe for coming to terms with this weirdness.
The water you drink is three billion years old, give or take five million years. The stuff your body is made of is at least ten billion years old, probably older, and has been as far away as 100,000 light years from where it is right now. The air you breathe has, in the course of its travels, been literally everywhere on the planet, and has slipped in and out of the lungs of almost every human being who has ever lived. There's much more evidence I could offer to prove to you that you're an infinite and eternal creature, Leo, but suffice it to say that you're much greater and older and bigger and wilder and freer than you have ever imagined. The experiences you'll soon have will give you a deeply felt sense of how true that is.
It's the perfect time to kill off old habits that drag you down and to sever bad connections that bring out the worst in you. Therefore, I suggest you make an undercover search-and-destroy visit to the murkiest parts of the underworld. When you get back, invite skeletons to come out of the closet and monsters to crawl out from beneath the bed for a nice long heart-to-heart talk full of tough love. And in general, don't you dare avert your gaze from any song and dance that might half-scare you and half-inspire you into triumphing over evil. P.S. In every decay there'll be beauty; in every loss there'll be a glimmer of future joy.
If we were going to equate your relationship options with varieties of ice cream, we might say that in the next eight weeks you will have a choice between Black Raspberry Avalanche, Caramel Toffee Bar Heaven, Cherry Chip ba da Bing, Grandma's Cookie Dough, New York Strawberry Cheesecake, Cashew Praline Parfait, Peanut Butter Truffle, and good old Vanilla. Oddly enough, Vanilla might turn out to be the most gratifying. Of all the varieties, it would certainly have the best aftertaste.
The secret you're looking for, the secret you think you desperately need, does not exist--at least not officially. Unofficially, however, it's very real. It's alive and hot and exciting. But it's in the care of people you don't notice or value. It's something you'd normally regard as cheap and insignificant. So let me ask you, Scorpio: Can you change the way you use your eyes? Will you drop the opinions that get in the way of you seeing the truth? The secret you're in quest of, the resource that might solve so many problems, will be easy to pluck if you'll just change your mind about matters that you imagine have nothing to do with the secret.
Flora, a Komodo dragon in a British zoo, recently became pregnant and hatched five babies without ever having had contact with a male. This is the first recorded virgin birth among her species. She's your power animal for the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Whether you're female or male, you too now have the power to spawn a beautiful brainchild without being intellectually or emotionally fertilized by anyone. That of course doesn't mean you should avoid the kind of intimate interactions that would fructify you. On the contrary, I urge you to seek those out in abundance. But my point is that you don't need them in order to be a fount of creativity.
The bumper sticker I saw today said, "Having abandoned my search for the truth, I'm now looking for a good fantasy." Though it's meant to be sarcastic, it's actually a perfectly useful piece of advice for you right now. Consider this: The truth is overrated. It's so complicated and ever-shifting that it's impossible to pin down. To earnestly pursue it is often a waste of your valuable time and energy. Besides, why bother trying to *understand* the nature of reality when it's more important and productive to aggressively shape the nature of reality? As another bumper sticker says, "Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself." In light of these meditations, Capricorn, I suggest that you drum up some fresh, fun, fabulous fantasies.
Writing in American Scientist, professor of neuroscience Irving Biederman says that human beings are literally addicted to learning new ideas. At the moment when we grasp a concept we've been grappling with, our brains experience a rush of a natural opium-like chemical, boosting our pleasure levels. I suggest that you take advantage of this fact to get really high in the coming week, Aquarius. Your ability to master challenging new information is at a peak, which means your access to natural opiates will be abundant.
A pound of gold weighs less than a pound of tumbleweeds. That's because the weight of gold is measured by the troy system of measurement, in which there are 12 ounces in a pound, whereas the weight of tumbleweeds is assessed according to the avoirdupois system, in which a pound consists of 16 ounces. Still, you'd probably rather have a pound of gold than a pound of tumbleweeds, right? Keep this in mind as you decide what resources to go after in the coming week.

The children of mothers with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be at high risk of being traumatized themselves, according to a small new study in urban U.S. neighborhoods.
Inner-city kids whose mothers had PTSD experienced more traumatic events - such as neighborhood shootings, domestic violence, dog bites or car accidents - before age five than kids whose mothers were depressed or had no mental health issues, researchers found.
Mothers with a combination of PTSD and depression were also more likely to report psychologically or physically abusing their child, compared to mothers with just one of those disorders.
"The main take-home message is that when parents are suffering, their children suffer, too," said Dr. Howard Dubowitz, professor of pediatrics at University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore.
"Those of us who are involved in helping to take care of kids can't ignore what problems mothers and fathers may be struggling with," added Dubowitz, who was not involved in the study.
Children exposed to trauma are themselves at greater risk of a mix of health challenges later on in life, such as obesity, drug and alcohol addictions, heart disease, suicide and mental health disorders, experts said.
"Everyone's been putting the focus on depression, even though PTSD and depression run together," said the study's lead author Claude Chemtob, director of NYU Langone Medical Center's family trauma research program.
He and his colleagues recruited 97 mothers with children between the ages three and five years old from Mount Sinai School of Medicine's pediatric primary care clinics in New York City to participate in the study.
Most mothers were from ethnic minority groups and had high school diplomas. The women all completed questionnaires designed to detect depression or PTSD symptoms. They also answered questions about violent events their children had witnessed.
The majority of mothers were not clinically depressed or suffering from PTSD, Chemtob's group reports in JAMA Pediatrics. Of the 97 mothers, 11 had diagnosable depression, six had PTSD and 10 had a combination of both.
Chemtob pointed out that the study population had slightly elevated levels of depression and PTSD diagnoses compared to national averages.
The researchers also found that mothers with PTSD and depression reported far greater parenting stress. "In short, their experience of parenting is that it is more difficult and less rewarding," Chemtob said.
Last year the American Academy of Pediatrics urged pediatricians to take steps to reduce childhood "toxic stress" that can occur when parents or caregivers suffer from poor mental health.
In the current study, the children of mothers with PTSD witnessed an average of five traumatic events.
Their peers whose mothers were only depressed or had no mood disorder experienced an average of only one traumatic event. A third group of kids with mothers suffering both PTSD and depression experienced nearly four events.
Previous research suggests that nearly half of women with PTSD may also suffer from depression.
"We know that the effects of maternal mental health difficulties can be especially problematic in early life, from pregnancy to age 5," Michelle Bosquet of Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts told Reuters Health in an email.
Bosquet, who was not involved in the new study, added that much previous research has focused only on depression and less is known about how PTSD may influence parenting.
Researchers noted that the study is limited by its small size.
"These results have been found among certain families," Dubowitz said. Future studies could look for the same results in different populations, such as whites, he said.
The authors encourage screening mothers for PTSD alongside depression in pediatric primary care settings. "This might be an effective way to intervene on child maltreatment," Chemtob told Reuters Health.
In his research on child abuse, Dubowitz has created a questionnaire for parents to complete before arriving for a pediatric appointment. It contains two questions to detect depressive symptoms.
"It may be most efficient to use just two questions to identify possible depression, and, in so doing, identify parents with that condition and … help them get evaluated," Dubowitz said.
"Aside from time, and time is very important, there is the whole challenge of changing health professionals' practice and behavior," he said.

WORCESTER -- Several Cub Scouts from Lunenburg Pack 1728 worked alongside the 25th Marine Regiment at Toys for Tots on Dec. 8. The Cub Scouts traveled to 10 New Bond St. to help separate and bag toys for children.
They volunteered with the added benefit of knowing they were helping their local community when some of the toys separated and bagged went to Gift Mart in Lunenburg. Gift Mart has been helping families in need for many years now, and their one-day grand opening was Saturday.
The boys organized toys according to gender and completed the job early. With time to spare, they helped clean up the warehouse after this event to make a Christmas a little brighter for some families in need. If anyone would like to donate to the Lunenburg Gift Mart, contact Holly Johansson at dandh firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more than 65 years, Marines in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program have distributed more than 400 million toys to more than 188 million needy children.
If your son is interested in joining Cub Scouts (grades one to five), visit www.pack1728.org or contact Cubmaster Steve Randle at email@example.com.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — The number of inmates on hunger strike at the Guantanamo Bay prison has dropped to 75 from a peak of 106 last week, and even most of the men still listed as strikers ate a meal in the last day, the U.S. military said Thursday in its latest tally of the protest that began in February.
Army Lt. Col. Sam House said in a phone interview from Guantanamo that 67 of those 75 inmates had eaten a meal during the previous 24 hours at the prison, which is currently serving food at night during the Muslim holy period of Ramadan, which lasts through early August.
The 67 detainees are still listed as hunger strikers because the U.S. military requires a minimum of three days of sustained eating and a minimal caloric intake before they can be removed from the tally. But House said the main factor must be that a prisoner wishes to be removed from the hunger strike list.
"We're not going to remove any individual who doesn't want to be removed. If they want to be considered a hunger striker and eat three meals a day, then they're a hunger striker and they eat three meals a day. That's just the way it is," he said.
A total of 46 prisoners are on the "enteral feed list," meaning they can be strapped down and fed a liquid nutrient mix through a nasal tube, according to the military's latest report on the protest at the jail at the U.S. military base in Cuba.
The strike has prompted President Barack Obama to criticize the force-feedings and renew his efforts to close the prison, which houses 166 inmates.
On Tuesday, a U.S. federal judge turned down a bid by three Guantanamo prisoners on hunger strike to stop authorities from force-feeding them. Judge Rosemary M. Collyer ruled she didn't have jurisdiction in the case because Congress removed Guantanamo detainees' treatment and conditions of confinement from the purview of federal courts. She also said there was "nothing so shocking or inhumane in the treatment" that would raise a constitutional concern.
An attorney in Oakland, California, Jon. B. Eisenberg, said Thursday he believed the reason why more prisoners were now eating was "because they have been threatened with deprivation of the right to perform special communal Ramadan prayers if they don't eat."
Eisenberg filed a motion Thursday seeking an emergency injunction against the alleged denial of the right to pray communally during Ramadan on behalf of the three detainees who were turned down by Collyer while he appeals her ruling. The men, Ahmed Belbacha, Nabil Hadjarab and Shaker Aamer, all have been cleared for release but remain at Guantanamo. More than half of the prison's population has been cleared for release, but the government has said it has been unable to find stable countries to transfer them to.
House dismissed the motion's assertions that prisoners were being denied their right to the free exercise of religion by denying them the ability to perform communal prayers during Ramadan. As a rule, all hunger striking detainees are kept in single cells for observation.
"It would be inappropriate for me to comment on issues which are in litigation; however, we take our commitment to ensure that detainees held in our care are afforded every opportunity to practice their faith, and, furthermore, any accusation that says otherwise is ridiculous," he said in an email later Thursday.
In April, prison authorities moved most of the men out of communal units and into single cells after detainees covered security cameras used to monitor them. The move set off a violent clash, but officials issued a "pardon" that erased the men's accumulated disciplinary infractions and permitted many of them to pray together in recent days after having been largely isolated from each other.
House declined to speculate on the reasons behind the reduced number of hunger strikers and said he was not aware of any reasons detainees may have given guards or medical staff. But he noted that Ramadan, an important period in the Muslim calendar in which the observant abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset, has historically been a tranquil period at Guantanamo.
He said eating regular meals is "a condition of communal living." Asked whether detainees who had resumed eating were being returned to communal living quarters, he said: "It is likely that they are, but I cannot speak for each one. There are some detainees who actually choose to be in a single cell."
According to the military's Thursday tally, three hunger strikers were being observed in a base hospital. It said none had any life-threatening condition.

Senate Immigration Bill Clears First Tests
The bipartisan group of senators supporting a plan to overhaul immigration laws has been sticking together on Thursday, amid a critical series of early test votes.
The coalition turned back challenges from conservative critics as the Senate Judiciary Committee worked to refine the legislation. It would secure the nation's borders and offer eventual citizenship to millions who are currently living illegally in the United States.
The panel rejected three efforts by opponents of the bill to toughen the improvements that must be made to border security before unauthorized immigrants can apply for legal status.
Republicans Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake -- part of the bipartisan group that helped draft the measure -- joined all 10 Democrats on the panel in blocking each of the changes.
If the political alignment remains intact, the committee is expected to approve the measure within two weeks. That would clear the way for a showdown on the Senate floor in June.
President Barack Obama has made the bill a top priority in the opening months of his second term.

|ASUS GeForce GTX-465 Video Card

ASUS ENGTX465 Video Card Review
PC video games are still the best way to experience realistic effects and immerse yourself in the battle. Consoles do their part, but only high-precision video cards offer the sharp clarity and definition needed to enjoy detailed graphics. Armed with Voltage Tweak functionality, the ASUS GeForce GTX 465 delivers a healthy helping of graphical power at an affordable price. The ENGTX465/2DI/1GD5 model has plenty of headroom for overclockers to drive out additional FPS performance, while keeping temperatures cool. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the ASUS ENGTX465 against some of the best video cards within the price segment by using several of the most demanding PC video game titles and benchmark software available: Aliens vs Predator, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, BattleForge, Crysis Warhead, Far Cry 2, Resident Evil 5, and Metro 2033.
It used to be that PC video games such as Crysis and Far Cry 2 were as demanding as you could get, but that was all back before DirectX-11 brought tessellation and to the forefront of graphics. DX11 now adds heavy particle and turbulence effects to video games, and titles such as Metro 2033 demand the most powerful graphics processing available. NVIDIA's GF100 GPU is their first graphics processor to support DirectX-11 features such as tessellation and DirectCompute, and the GeForce GTX-470 offers an excellent combination of performance and value for games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 or BattleForge.
With prices starting at $250 ($280 for this ASUS model), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX-465 empowers DirectX-11 video games to deliver unmatched geometric realism from 11 Streaming Multiprocessors with a total of 352 CUDA Cores and 44 Texture Units. In this article Benchmark Reviews tests 3D frame rate performance on the ASUS GeForce GTX-465 video card (model ENGTX465/2DI/1GD5), and compare the results against the most powerful graphics products on the market. Based on the same GF-100 Fermi architecture that was first used in the GeForce GTX 480, the NVIDIA GTX-465 delivers mid-range performance for gamers on a budget. Additionally, the GTX-465's price tag fits in nicely between the $220 Radeon HD 5830 and $305 Radeon HD5850. In the following pages, Benchmark Reviews will demonstrate how well the ASUS GeForce GTX-465 performs against other DirectX-11 video card products.
ASUS GeForce GTX 465 Video Card Kit ENGTX465/2DI/1GD5
At the center of every new technology is purpose, and NVIDIA has designed their Fermi GF100 GPU with an end-goal of redefining the video game experience through significant graphics processor innovations. Disruptive technology often changes the way users interact with computers, and the GeForce GTX-4xx family of video cards are complex tools built to arrive at one simple destination: immersive entertainment, especially when paired with NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision. The experience is further improved with ASUS SmartDoctor and ASUS GamerOSD software tools, which help gamers and overclockers get the most out of their investment.

Then, the HD5770 is not 256-bit but 128-bit!
I count 5 clear wins for the 5850, 3 for the 465 and one wash (Resident evil 5). From the 465's point of view, thats a staggering 67% more wins for the 5850!!
And by the way, I don't count the two parts of 3D vantage as separate tests.
So not only is the 5850 the faster card with over half the tests won, more importantly, it also offers the most bang for your buck! All according to your own figures!
At least to me, this would count as a clear win for the 5850, but that is hardly what I see in the summary.
Also worth mentioning i think: Having been on Newegg on a few occasions, $305 seemed a bit steep for a 5850, and for aspiring customers for a graphics card, I can tell a 5850 can be found for $285. Only $5 more expensive than the price for the 465 you are quoting, and with that small difference I think the value numbers throughout the test would look a bit different.
You should also check your math on the cost per FPS, because the GTX-465 beats the Radeon 5850 in nearly all of them.
I thank you and congratulate you for your response to the commenter.
I sit here absolutely STUNNED. I can't believe that somebody didn't just "take it" and nearly agree with the ati fan fraud.
My faith in humanity has been renewed.
Believe me, I really, really appreciate it.
Sincerely sick of the rampant red bias,
Did you just report the AC Power differnence between no graphic card in the system and with the Graphics card installed? Did you try to take into account the PSU efficiency?
Power supply efficiency is not taken into consideration for any of our reported results. Only the motherboard, processor, memory, SSD, and video card are drawing power. The math is simply idle/load result minus baseline.
And I don't get your pricing figures. I found a 5850 for $285 and another for $305 in Newegg... the ones you mention beyond $325 include special cooling designs.
