There is a benchmark on the NW end of the main farm house. The farm stands at the southern end of the parish of Shipton under Wychwood.
In the fields behind the farm stands the Gibbet Tree, a place where wrong doers were displayed in the Middle Ages.
A Global Positioning System setup on a benchmark on the top of the NOAA Sentinel at Shell Beach, Louisiana. NOAA Sentinels are water-level observing stations which have been strengthened to deliver real-time storm tide data during severe coastal events. Built to withstand category four hurricanes, these structures maintain an incredible presence, given their size and stature, along the Gulf coast.

Benchmark at the top of the hill at Occidental College. Anyone have any records on this?

This Benchmark style table was customized to be 42"wide x 120"long x 42"h with the standard 2" thick top. Planking, medium distressing, hand worn edges, and Ruff Sawn sanding were options chosen.
The coordinating stools chosen were 10) 30"h Richland stationary sides with wood seats. Medium distressing and worn edges were done to match the table.

More of the same. The new thing is a Final Cut Pro HDV 1080i60 render. Final Cut Pro is not universal yet, but just the render? That sounds pretty contrived to me too. Could be the crappy memory bandwidth of the G4 for all I know.
Where is the Photoshop benchmark? Where are the other tasks in Final Cut Pro? Motion? Aperture? MacOffice? and other Pro apps that haven’t been ported?
The strange thing here is the floating point delta is larger than the integer one. Anyone know why? Maybe the extra core doesn't benefit this mark, I seem to remember something about Apple turning of hyperthreading in their Intel v. G5 SPECint marks a couple years back because it slowed SPECint down. Related? If so, it shows why contrived marks like this are full of shit.
(Not that I don’t think the MacBook Pro is a fast computer, or has the potential to be much faster than a G4 Powerbook here. But let us remember that I am typing this on a 1.5Ghz Powerbook that is one and a half years old. Today’s fastest Powerbooks are 1.67Ghz—a whole 10% faster. It’s easy to blow away a computer that sits at least a Moore's Law doubling behind you.)

Elderly couple relaxing on a bench in a plaza in Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria. Puerto de Mogán is a picturesque resort and fishing village in the municipality of Mogán, set at the mouth of a steep-sided valley on the southwest coast of the island of Gran Canaria and attracts many tourists either to stay or on day-visits. Canal-like channels linking the marina to the fishing harbour have led to it being nicknamed "Little Venice" or the "Venice of the Canaries". Restaurants and bars fringe the marina and the beach front. On a Friday there is a very popular market which brings in tourists from all over the island..
.
Puerto de Mogán has very few buildings over two storeys high, and the government of Gran Canaria restricts new buildings taller than this..
.
Puerto de Mogán is linked with the motorway GC1 several kilometres to the east in Puerto Rico by means of a coastal road (GC-500), and is on several bus routes. The mountains almost surround the urban area of the town..
.
The town is linked to Puerto Rico and Arguineguin by minor ferry routes from its small port, and is also a major stop for ocean going yachts beginning their journey across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. The smaller, mainly single-storey, homes and inaccessible streets are on the northern slopes; the larger inaccessible houses, a forest and a square lie in the northwest; and near the port and more to the northeast. There is a small enclosed beach which has golden sand imported from the Sahara. There are two or three hotels and many holiday apartments available for rent.
Brewery and tasting room in Grantville on Fairmont Ave. *Update* June 2019: Benchmark has, sadly, gone out of business.
tenaya lake is definitely full at this time of the year, but it seems that this year it is even past the usual benchmark. this is one of the best places to hang out in summer, but now it may be a bit more refreshing than most people would prefer.
