I'm sorry to be so blunt, but your results are bogus from a performance analysis point of view.
As for OpenGL vs. Direct3D 9, I kept reliable records.
My records are based off the construction of my engine from the very start, when the engine was nothing more than activating a vertex buffer, an optional index buffer, a shader, and 0 or 1 textures.
Both the Direct3D and OpenGL pipelines were equally this simple, and both fully equipped to eliminate any redundant states that could occur from this primitive system.
My results.
This does not make any sense. Again, read up on bottlenecks. Even if an API would reduce its overhead to zero (which is partially possible by removing it entirely and talking to the hardware directly, as it is done in many consoles), the final impact on game performance is often very small. Sometimes it's not even measurable if the engine bottleneck is on the GPU (which is almost always the case on modern engines). The more work is offloaded to the GPU, the less important API overhead becomes.
As of the latest DirectX API, there is no contest. And unless OpenGL can make a 5-fold improvement on their speed without multi-threaded rendering, there never will be, compared to DirectX 11.

A Hello World example is about the worst possible way to judge an API or language.
But take a look at a Hello World Example of both before you make a decision! ;)
It's neither of these. It's just that these things are out of the scope of a graphics API. They have never and will never be part of OpenGL. Note that D3D11 (and partially D3D10) went the same way, essentially removing all this bloated D3DX stuff. The only really useful remains were moved to XNAMath, which became largely API independent.
My experience was that OpenGL (1.X though) was waaaay easier to get up and running and rendering a few triangles, but actually working with it was a pita compared to working with Direct3D (9.0c). It was mostly small things, such as math libraries, texture loading and font rendering IIRC. It was several years ago, but I can imagine some of it being the same due to cross platform and licensing issues.
No, no and no. The first (lack of math library) may be debatable, but everything else should never be part of a graphics API. Keep in mind that the main focus of a competitive graphics API is not beginner friendliness, but flexibility, performance, scalability, standarization and ease of driver implementation for IHVs. If you are looking for a beginner friendly framework, then both D3D and OpenGL are the wrong choices. A third party graphics or game engine is a much better solution for such scenarios.
Maybe someone with more (recent) OpenGL experience can clarify the following?
* Is there a math library in OpenGL for matrices/vectors/planes/etc?
* Can you load textures in png or jpeg formats without using external libraries such as DevIL?
* Is there any simple way to render a string in OpenGL? I seem to recall there being some function to draw a single char using a supplied bitmap font..?

Global brands are unbelievably valuable. Sometimes a single brand name can make over 75% of the entire value of a company. Take a look at the Interbrand 2010 top 100 brand list (Interbrand is the worlds largest brand analytics company).
On a final note - and I'm not accusing you of this - every time I've ever heard someone defend a product's prospects by pointing to brand powers, it's a sign of impending doom.

Because it's not always that simple, it's not a black or white situation. We don't have a truly free market. We have a regulated free market economy, where the amount of regulation varies from one country to the other. Truly unregulated markets would lead to complete corpocracies as every company will strive for full market domination and abuse their positions of power to eliminate competition in unfair or illegal ways. In our regulated free market economy, we have antitrust laws to prevent this. Microsoft has certainly violated competition laws on several occasions, but so have many (most ? all ?) multinational companies to some degree, and not only in the software sector.
How is having Windows own the OS market not a "free market"? If you can bring a team together and write a better OS, Im sure yours would become a standard...
Posted by Yann L on 19 July 2011 - 08:22 PM
Yes. And where is the problem here ? You're free to travel using a horse drawn carriage instead of a car. But if you do, don't complain you can't use the highway.
Windows acts like a standard, except that only one company gets income from it. If you want to benefit from that 90% you have to buy Windows and only Windows. If you decide to go for the other 10%, you will not be able to use many software products, but only some created by companies that decided to cover that 10% too.
Microsoft is the only OS developer that literally bends over backwards to provide full backwards compatibility for basically any type of technology they have ever released. Want to target Win32, MFC or DX9 while developing on Windows 7 ? No problem, the same binary will run perfectly on anything from the latest Windows (and even on not yet released future versions !) back to the more than 10 year old XP. Try that with OSX or *gasp* Linux...
If we refer strictly to PCs, most games "require Windows". If you want to play a specific game for PC then you must buy Windows. If Microsoft decides to make more money, they will release a new version of Windows, developers will be forced to release products to comply with the new "mood" and the end-user will have to pay the new Microsoft "tax".
Posted by Yann L on 18 July 2011 - 10:21 PM
And that is exactly the problem. How can you make statements about a language you admittedly have low expertise in ? The "benchmark" example you provided earlier is the perfect example of that. You were comparing two pieces of code that had nothing at all in common except for outputing text. That text editor written in C is faster than that protein-folding simulator written in C++. Obviously this must mean that C is better...
Indeed, I am a shit C++ programmer
Prove yourself wrong by learning C++ before making factually incorrect statements about it. Counter arguments to your points are trivial common knowledge to every semi-competent C++ programmer.
which doesn't take away the fact that C++ is bloaty when compared to C(yes, I provoke on purpose. Prove me wrong )

Sarcasm aside, matter of fact is that install location is an irrelevant technical detail that will overwhelm 99% of all non-technical users. It is also a way to phenomenally screw up an install when you don't know what you're doing (keep in mind that we technically literate users are a small minority). Why increase workload on support lines and make your main user base confused/unhappy just to please maybe 0.1% of power users ? Not asking for install location makes indeed perfect sense for an installer. You wouldn't believe how many people try to install software on a DVD drive or USB key without even realizing it.
About Google and Adobe etc. installing their crap just where you want (and installing what they want, too, without asking), this is easily answered: There is a massive misunderstanding from your side. You believe because you paid money for the computer, you are the owner. That's of course fundamentally wrong.
Google, Adobe, and Gigabyte own your computer, and as a user you are too stupid to decide what's good for you anyway. Therefore, they not only have every right of installing programs where they want, and secretly installing services that run at startup and send data over the internet, it is even their civil duty to protect you from yourself.
MS has indeed created strict guidelines on where code and user files should go. That is a good thing. But unfortunately not all developers adhere to these guideline, and MS needed to provide backwards compatibility. Basically, no one should ever write to Program Files, except for install, update or uninstall. In normal operation, this location should be strictly read only. And that is indeed enforced by Windows, if you tell it that your software adheres to the guidelines (using the application manifest). If you don't let it know that you're a good boy, then Windows will run your app as legacy code, virtualizing part of the filesystem. Your code may think it writes to Program Files, but it actually doesn't.
Am I not right in thinking that as of Windows 7 - microsoft is now actively encouraging programmers to install applications to the Program Files folder? I believe only applications installed in Program Files can access or modify resources within their own folder, if they are installed to, say, C:\MyApp then the MyApp folder would be read only, and the user would receive a permission prompt if the application decides to write to this folder.
That's basically the way OSX does it.
The single correct way to install software in my opinion would be to not install it at all. Installing in this case would mean to copy the folder containing the program from the CDROM to some location on your harddisk or unpacking a zip file that you have downloaded.
Shared libraries are in the same folder as the executable from where the OS will load them. Only libraries that are not found there (e.g. the system-internal libraries) are loaded from the system folder. ---> every program has the correct versions of all shared libraries, no tampering with operating system files needed.

Since when do governments act in the interest of the people ? Rather than, say, large lobbying organizations. Like big ISPs for example. Oops.
I'm with Luckless. I wish all ISPs were controlled by the government and more focused on building the best infrastructure for people.

Antibiotics, ie. not dying from a simple wound infection would not be irrelevant. Access to clean water and food wouldn't be. Having a life expectancy over 35 would be quite relevant. Not being enslaved by your neighbor because he happens to belong to a tribe that is more powerful than yours would also be quite nice. We take all these things for granted, at least in the western world. It's technological advancement, knowledge acquisition and social evolution that brought us all that, not a personal relationship with a deity. Maybe some technological achievements don't contribute to happiness. You don't really need an iphone, a flatscreen TV and a sports car to be happy. You could certainly live a very happy life in a pre-industrial civilization. But some parts of technology do absolutely and objectively increase your well-being, especially those related to the medical sector.
What you're saying makes sense if you equate success with technological advancement and knowledge acquisition. If God's goal is to create a loving relationship with people, I would say it's rather irrelevant, more likely it's contrary to that kind of success. I've seen that from experience during mission trips. Oftentimes the simplest conditions create the happiest people. Secularism has proposed similar ideas, Fight Club comes to mind, "The stuff you own ends up owning you." Sometimes I think if the word went to hell and everyone had to farm, hunt, and watch out for their neighbor to survive, Xanax would be irrelevant.
I'm not sure if artificially induced eternal life will increase suicide rates. It will depend on the type of environment you would be living in and how adaptable it would be. Given the digital consciousness version, we would probably progressively modify the way we think and the way our mind works in order to fit this new society. Essentially artificially guided evolution. And who says that the eternal life religions promise would not also lead to increased suicide rates (if such a thing would be possible there), because some people could not cope with it any longer ? If you say that they will be eternally happy because they're close to their god, what is the difference to eternally pumping large amounts of serotonin and dopamine into your brain (or doing the digital equivalent to an AI) ? After all, the feeling of happiness is just a biochemical reaction.
The day that people create the technological breakthrough to live forever is the day that suicide rates start to climb exponentially.
I'm a pragmatic agnostic, so I don't believe in a god, at least not in the form it is described by any major religion. I believe that whatever entity created the universe (if any) did not meddle with it after its initial creation. Everything humanity has achieved, we achieved it on our own. While this doesn't give us the right to put ourselves above some god, we shouldn't put us under a god either. I equate divinity with knowledge, and as always, everything is relative. I think that given 'enough' knowledge, we can become gods ourselves.
I fail to see why this should allow us to exalt ourselves before God, assuming you believe in that.
How can you say something like this ? This holier-than-thou attitude is really off putting. How can you know that you experienced something that we lack ? Maybe it is the other way round ? You don't need faith to lead a happy and fulfilling life. And there are many things in life besides apathy and faith into a deity. Believing in yourself, your own abilities and the ones of your loved ones, for example.
People believing in god have experienced something that agnosticists have not. Whether that "something" is being talked dumbed by missionaries, or a spiritiual revelation, what matters after all is the faith: Because faith can get you through life much better than apathy.

text: Robb Report Host Guide Featuring wine, champagne, cocktail recipes, spirits and cigar suggestions, as well as bartending, party-planning and entertaining tips, Robb Report Host Guide is a well-rounded guide geared towards veteran hosts who want to entertain in style. The interviews with celebrity chefs Mario Batali and Alain Ducasse, in the 'Great Chefs on Great Parties' section of the app, are bound to instill a deeper appreciation for bringing friends and family together for the holidays. When asked his philosophy on hospitality, Ducasse responded, "Hospitality embodies the art of living: generously giving your time and attention to someone and, in return, becoming richer in terms of human experience." The app's 'Hangover Cures' section - perhaps most helpful to those hosting guests for more than one night -- includes morning-after solutions for those suffering from varying degrees of indulgence. For the worst kind of hangover, the app suggests postponing it with a concoction of rye, sugar, absinthe and champagne. And although it's unlikely that even the biggest partyers will need a new reason to celebrate between Thanksgiving and the New Year, the app suggests 21 ideas for thematic parties throughout the year. "Why settle for a housewarming party when you can host a house-naming party?," it asks. The free app, exclusively compatible with the iPad, requires iOS 3.2 or later. Prev 2 of 7 Next

Great St Bernard Hospice
The Great St Bernard Hospice is a hospice or hostel for travellers in Switzerland, at 2469m altitude at the Great St Bernard Pass in the Pennine Alps. The border with Italy is only a few hundred metres to the south.
The first hospice or monastery was the 9th century one at Bourg-Saint-Pierre mentioned for the first time around 812-820. This was destroyed by Saracen incursions in the mid-10th century, probably in 940, the date at which they also occupied Saint-Maurice. Around 1050, Saint Bernard of Menthon, archdeacon of Aosta, regularly saw travellers arriving terrorised and distressed, so he decided to put an end to mountain brigandage in the area. With this in mind, he founded the hospice at the pass which later bore his name (it was originally dedicated to St Nicholas). The church's first textual mention is in a document of 1125. The hospice was placed under the jurisdiction of the bishop of Sion, prefect and count of Valais, thus explaining why the whole pass is now in Swiss territory.
The St. Bernard dog breed was created at the hospice from cross-breeding dogs, probably those offered by families in Valais in the 1660s and 1670s. The first definite mention of the breed is in 1709. The breed was originally raised to provide guard dogs for the hospice, before they became mountain rescue dogs. The St. Bernards were specially bred and trained for the role of mountain rescue because they were sufficiently strong to cross deep snow drifts and had the capacity to track lost travelers by scent. The first evidence that the dogs were in use at the monastery is in two paintings dating to 1690 by Salvatore Rosa.
The attachment to their collar of small casks containing brandy appears to be a 19th-century myth.[1]
The last recorded rescue by one of the dogs was in 1955, although as late as 2004 eighteen of the animals were still kept at the Hospice for reasons of sentiment and tradition. In 2004, the breeding of the dogs was undertaken by the Barry foundation at Martigny, and the remaining St. Bernards were transferred there from the Hospice. They remain a tourist attraction, and a number of the animals are temporarily relocated from Martigny to the Hospice during the summer months.
In June 1800, Napoleon Bonaparte ordered a monumental tomb to be built at the Hospice for Louis Desaix (killed at the battle of Marengo), even though Desaix had not crossed the Alps with the armée de réserve. His body rested at Milan from 1800 to 1805, when it was buried at the hospice in the presence of Berthier, representing the emperor. A commemorative monument set up there in a chapel was moved in 1829, so that Desaix now lies anonymous under an altar dedicated to Saint Faustina.

A randomized, double-blind, crossover study comparing the efficacy of intra-arterially administered reserpine with physiological saline was undertaken in 12 patients with progressive systemic sclerosis and four with overlap syndromes with predominant features of scleroderma. Patients were treated for either refractory digital ulcers or severe, incapacitating Raynaud phenomenon. Ten of 16 patients showed improvement with the injections. Favorable responses occurred in 12 of 26 patients given placebo injections and 12 of 25 patients given reserpine injections. No difference in efficacy between intra-arterial administration of reserpine and saline could be ascertained.

Change is inevitable
At times it seems spontaneous. Other times it is the result of meticulous plotting and planning. And then there are the shifts that occur gradually, powered by time. The new year, for many, is a time where we naturally feel inclined to make personal adjustments that we believe will serve our .greatest good.
This annual '#NicoleTzen & #Friends' gathering is held to support in integrating the wisdom we have gained in this last calendar year, and for connecting with our own personal power. This will enable us to be more clear about how and where to invest our energy as we move forward into the new year.
The session will integrate several tools including #EssentialOils, #Meditation, #Reiki, #SoundHealing and more, to help empower your process. A complimentary healthy brunch will follow the healing circle.

Politics Edwards NOT Suspending Campaign
posted by March 22 at 9:41 AMon
Earlier reports had it exactly wrong.
Calvert DeForest, however, is still dead.
UPDATE: Because I believe that people are all basically good and decent—no wait, I mean, louses and shits—I can't help but… wonder… and type… and post…
If Elizabeth Edwards' cancer returned, and John Edwards was going to press on with his campaign, all stoical and stuff, why clear his schedule and call a press conference? Why not just, you know, keep on keeping on? The drama of the last 24 hours—the rushing home, the announcement of a press conference, the clearing of Edwards' schedule, and, hey, was that a leak about dropping out of the race?—strikes me as a bit manipulative. Even exploitative. If the Edwards' campaign intended to take the return of his wife's cancer in stride, well, then why didn't the Edwards' campaign do just that?
UPDATE 2: Okay, I am a shit. As more news comes out, it's clear that Elizabeth Edwards medical news appeared to be worse yesterday, when schedules were cleared and press conferences called. Further tests indicated that things, while terribly serious, weren't as dire as first thought. EE's cancer is treatable, and so the campaign continues. Is anyone working on gene therapy to treat congenital cynicism?

Since I didn't realize that if you but a theme I can't get help here I decided to change to a temporary theme till I can get the creator to help me with the other theme.
Also figured it may help me understand how to fix things myself in the future.
I need help removing the black bar at the top of this theme.
I use firebug and for the past 5 years or more I have never had an issue doing most myself but it seems the changes in PHP have made it in possible for me to figure out exactly how to find the script.
If someone can tell me how do u find the exact script the code it on. Since there are hundreds of PHP pages finding the exact one sometimes seems impossible.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
In what it called a first step toward building out its molecular diagnostics business through acquisitions as well as internal development and partnerships, Life Technologies has acquired genetics-based products and services provider Navigenics for an undisclosed price.
Life Tech said the combined company will marry its technology to Navigenics' experience, informatics and other tech platforms, user interfaces, genomic support services, and CLIA-certified laboratory, which Life Tech said will be used for design and validation of new diagnostics assays.
"Navigenics has pioneered the synthesis and communication of complex genomic information, and we will now pivot the company's effort to date and focus on becoming a comprehensive provider of technology and informatics to pathologists and oncologists worldwide," Ronnie Andrews, president of Medical Sciences at Life Technologies, said Monday in a statement announcing the acquisition.
In addition to developing and offering lab-developed tests and commercialized assays approved by FDA and other regulators, Life Tech said it will also continue to build partnerships with pharmaceutical companies for companion diagnostic development, including participating in clinical trials. In October 2011, for example, Life Tech announced a partnership to develop a companion diagnostic for GlaxoSmithKline's MAGE-A3 cancer immunotherapy.
Last month Life Tech made two announcements signaling increased interest in diagnostics—namely collaborations with Boston Children's Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto to develop next-generation sequencers for clinical research in pediatric diseases.
"Life Technologies' entry into the clinical diagnostics market, coupled with the scope of their clinical vision, signals that personalized medicine is no longer a distant future promise, but today's reality," Vance Vanier, M.D., president and CEO of Navigenics, said in the statement.
The Navigenics Health Compass set of genetic analysis services will not take in new business but will honor existing commitments, the companies said.
Financial terms of the deal were undisclosed.

Group formed to preserve Hoan Bridge
A group of state and local officials announced Monday they had formed the "Coalition to Save the Hoan," out of fears the 1977 structure could be demolished.
County Supervisors Patricia Jursik, Marina Dimitrijevic and Christopher Larson and state Rep. Christine Sinicki (D-Milwaukee) announced the effort.
Jursik said a Hoan study sought by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce suggested "there is a hidden assumption" in the request that favors demolishing rather than repaving the Hoan. »Read Full Blog Post
Fundraising for legislators drops below $1 million for first half of year
Madison -- For the first time in 10 years, state legislators raised less than $1 million in the first half of the year, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
A key reason: An Assembly ban on fundraising during state budget deliberations, which ran from mid-February to late June.
Lawmakers raised $922,291 in the first half of the year -- 40% less than the $1.52 million raised from January to June 2007, when the last budget was considered. »Read Full Blog Post
Pocan lashes out at Doyle over timing of press conference
Madison -- Gov. Jim Doyle grabbed attention Tuesday for handing out federal stimulus money -- but not before being scolded by a fellow Democrat.
Doyle announced stimulus money would be used to clean up contamination from leaking underground storage tanks at Tower Automotive Inc. and elsewhere.
He made the announcement at the former Esser Paint property shortly after the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee approved the plan. The committee was still meeting on other issues when Doyle held the news conference, frustrating Democrats who control the committee. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Democrats, Republicans hire attorneys for redistricting
Madison -- Democrats and Republicans in the state Senate are hiring competing lawyers at taxpayer expense to decide how to redraw district boundaries for the 2012 elections.
There is no cap on how much they can spend.
The Senate Committee on Senate Organization -- made up of three Democrats and two Republicans -- last month unanimously voted to hire attorneys for senators from each party. »Read Full Blog Post(4)
Transit harmony eludes panel
A newly formed committee aimed at brokering consensus on the area's long-term transportation needs demonstrated again Wednesday the persistent disagreement on the topic.
The Milwaukee County Committee on Long Range Transportation Planning was the brainchild of County Board Chairman Lee Holloway and includes representatives from all six southeastern Wisconsin counties. Holloway has said he hopes to deliver a message to Gov. Jim Doyle on the dire need for new dedicated funding for transit, particularly for the Milwaukee County bus service.
The group, however, couldn't agree on a proposed letter to Doyle asking him to reconsider the issue of giving Milwaukee County authority to levy a local sales tax increase for transit. Doyle vetoed such a measure from the 2010 state budget. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Forum honored for transit study
The Public Policy Forum has received a national award for its report on Milwaukee County's transit crisis.
The Governmental Research Association, based in Birmingham, Ala., deemed the transit study the most effective education on a local public issue.
The report, issued in May 2008, warned of an impending financial crisis facing the Milwaukee County Transit System.
Report authors were forum president Rob Henken and forum researchers Ryan Horton and Jeffrey Schmidt.
Legislature likely to republish budget over veto error
Madison -- The Legislature is looking at republishing the state budget without one of Gov. Jim Doyle's partial vetoes because the veto violated the state constitution.
Doyle issued 81 vetoes of the budget in June, but he overstepped his powers with one of them because he created a new sentence by stringing together words from two sentences. A constitutional amendment passed by voters last year doesn't allow that.
The veto was over the creation of a study committee. »Read Full Blog Post
Wisconsin Dems turn up heat on Kapanke
Wisconsin's Democratic Party on Friday stepped up its legal attacks on state Sen. Dan Kapanke (R-La Crosse), by filing a lawsuit and calling on a prosecutor to investigate him for possible open records law violations.
The party acted just days after Kapanke announced his candidacy to challenge U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.) in 2010.
Democrats are alleging that Kapanke's staff illegally conducted campaign activities on state time, and they have demanded that he give them documents to prove their case. Kapanke denies the allegations and says he doesn't have the documents. »Read Full Blog Post(5)

Madison -- Steven Walters, a former Madison bureau chief for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, next month will join cable's WisconsinEye as a senior producer.
Walters hosted the Newsmakers series for WisconsinEye while he was a Journal Sentinel reporter. In his new role, beginning Sept. 2, he will produce and host public affairs programs and coordinate the cable network's coverage of the 2010 state elections.
Walters last month took a voluntary buyout from the Journal Sentinel after 22 years with the paper. He has covered government and politics for more than 35 years.
WisconsinEye broadcasts on Charter Channel 995, Time Warner Channel 163 and on its Web site, wisconsineye.org. (1)

Panel to hear oral arguments in ethics case against Gableman
Madison – A three-judge panel will hear oral arguments next month in an ethics complaint against state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.
The state Judicial Commission has asked Gableman's colleagues on the Supreme Court to discipline the justice for a campaign ad he ran last year, saying it intentionally misled voters about his opponent, former state Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler.
The panel will meet at 10 a.m. on Sept. 16 in Waukesha for the hearing and oral arguments. It is not expected to reach a decision at the hearing, however. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Joint Finance to meet on misspending by Veterans Department
Madison -- The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee for now has denied a request by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide another $700,000 to cover past spending that wasn't approved.
The committee's co-chairmen -- Sen. Mark Miller (D-Monona) and Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison) -- said in a Thursday letter to Administration Secretary Michael Morgan they would consider the request at an as-yet unscheduled meeting.
Under committee rules, requests for certain expenditures are approved unless committee members object during a "passive review" period. Members have raised several objections, which requires that the committee meet, Miller and Pocan wrote. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Leaders republish state budget
Madison -- Legislative leaders have unanimously approved republishing the state budget without a veto that was improperly included in the budget.
Gov. Jim Doyle vetoed a budget provision to create a study committee, but the veto violated a recent amendment to the state constitution that bars the governor from creating a new sentence by striking out the words of two or more sentences.
Leaders said the veto was invalid and voted 10-0 this week to republish the budget without it. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Obama praises Doyle
President Barack Obama issued this statement Monday on Gov. Jim Doyle's announcement that he won't seek re-election:
"Jim Doyle is a true friend and a tireless public servant. From the Peace Corps to Attorney General and then as Governor, he has demonstrated a commitment to helping those in need and a passion for fighting for what's right. His tough and fair leadership enabled him to work across the aisle to strengthen education and spur economic recovery. Jim's unwavering dedication and his love for Wisconsin are evident in his 25 years of dedicated service to the state and the people of Wisconsin are lucky to have him as governor." (20)
Walker favors three-term limit for guv
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, a Republican candidate for governor, says he favors a limit of three terms for governors in Wisconsin.
As a state legislator, Walker said he backed limits of 12 years in office, which would have applied to governor, legislators, senators and members of congress.
For governors, that translates to three 4-year terms. »Read Full Blog Post(8)
Meetings set on Hoan Bridge
The first of two town hall meetings on the future of the Hoan Bridge will be Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the South Milwaukee City Hall, 2424 15th Ave.
The meeting was called by a group of local officials who want to preserve the bridge. Milwaukee County Supervisor Patricia Jursik has accused the state Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce of spearheading "a clandestine effort to tear down" the bridge.
DOT and MMAC officials have said they favor a study of alternatives on repairing or replacing the bridge, including the possible razing of the bridge. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Assembly Speaker Sheridan considering run for governor
Madison -- Add Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan's name to the list of Wisconsin Democrats considering a run for governor.
However, Sheridan, a third-term lawmaker from Janesville who was elected speaker after Democrats took control of the Assembly last fall, said Wednesday it's likely he'll opt to stay in the Legislature.
"I've heard from some people around the state," encouraging him to consider it, Sheridan said. "I certainly am mulling it over, but at this point it's likely I'm going to stay where I am." »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Barrett knighted by Coggs for defending woman and child
Milwaukee County Supervisor Elizabeth M. Coggs Friday lauded Mayor Tom Barrett as "a knight in shining armor" for intervening in a domestic dispute last weekend as he was leaving the State Fair.

"We all thank the mayor for intervening on behalf of a woman and her (grand)child to ensure their safety -- and save their lives!" she said. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Guv poll shows Walker and Barrett tied
An early take on the incipient race for governor shows Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker in a virtual dead heat.
The statewide poll found 44% of likely primary voters saying they favored Walker vs. 43% for Barrett, with 13% undecided, according to the poll. Walker is an announced Republican candidate for governor. Barrett, a Democrat, has not said whether he's interested in running for governor.
The poll was done this week for Walker's campaign by the Tarrance Group, a national polling firm for Republican candidates. The firm interviewed 800 likely general election voters Tuesday and Wednesday. The results had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. »Read Full Blog Post(8)
Doyle hires new legal counsel
Madison -- Gov. Jim Doyle has selected a long-time aide as his chief legal counsel to replace the adviser who left the post after it was revealed she didn't have a Wisconsin law license.
Doyle announced Susan Crawford, the deputy director of the state Office of Recovery and Reinvestment, would serve as his legal counsel starting Monday. Crawford will continue her role with the recovery office.
Doyle made the appointment two weeks after Chandra Miller Fienen resigned from the post when it was reported she didn't have a Wisconsin law license. Miller Fienen worked for a year as a senior adviser to Doyle and sometimes signed her name over the title of chief legal counsel. »Read Full Blog Post(5)
Internal review finds no legal issues with Doyle's former adviser
Madison -- Work by a former adviser to Gov. Jim Doyle was not affected by her lack of a law license, according to an internal review.
Chandra Miller Fienen resigned as an adviser to Doyle after reports surfaced that she called herself chief legal counsel but did not have a Wisconsin law license. After she resigned, an internal review of her work was launched.
"We wanted to know if there was any work that would be affected by not being a member of the Wisconsin Bar," Doyle spokeswoman Carol Andrews said in an e-mail Monday. "The review is completed and we haven't found any work that has been affected by her legal status." »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Feingold wants timetable for moving U.S. troops out of Afghanistan
Sen. Russ Feingold on Monday ratcheted up criticism for President Barack Obama's plan to send more U.S. troops to Afghanistan and began calling for a timetable to get the troops out of the country.
"After eight years, I am not convinced that simply pouring more and more troops into Afghanistan is a well-thought-out strategy," Feingold said during an editorial board meeting with the Appleton Post-Crescent.
Feingold, who serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been critical of plans to boost the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan in the past. But the Wisconsin Democrat said it was the first time he has publicly called for a timetable for withdrawal.
"Something I have not said before, which I want to say here in Appleton, is that I think it is time we ought to start discussing a flexible timetable when people in America and Afghanistan and around the world can see where we intend and when we intend to bring our troops out," Feingold said. (7)
Activist youth wants Barrett to run for governor

Assembly panel considers absolute sobriety for bartenders
Madison – Bartenders would have to maintain absolute sobriety under a proposal debated by a state Assembly panel Tuesday.

The committee also heard testimony on another proposal from Zepnick that would ban "all you can drink" specials.
Both are aimed at reducing the rate of drunken driving in Wisconsin. »Read Full Blog Post(40)

Feingold: no health reform before Christmas, if ever
Sen. Russ Feingold has touched off a mini controversy over his comments last week that lawmakers are unlikely to pass a health care bill before the end of the year, if at all.

Erpenbach briefly considered a run after Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle announced he wouldn't seek a third term next year. But Erpenbach said Monday he'd decided against a run because it would take too much time away from his family.

Barney: Hey Ted, what'cha doing?
Ted: A rain dance.
Barney: Dude, that's not a rain dance. That's a fat kid with a bee in his pants.

Lily: I think there's still one left.
Marshall: Dibs.
Ted: Robin! Hey!! Robin!!! Oh, thank God you're here!

Robin: But it's pouring! You come up!

Robin: I'm not dressed, Ted! Come up!
Ted: I'm not coming up there, Robin. I'm not. You HAVE to come down here!

Robin: I was gonna...
Ted: I know. (Ted and Robin kiss)
Ted: You're seriously considering going on this thing, are you?
Robin: Ted, it's a company camping trip. I have to go.
Ted: Really, cause it sounds like you're going for Sandy—and his weenie.
Sandy: I got offered a job at CNN.
Robin: That's great! I'm happy for you.
Sandy: And for yourself, too. Joel asked me who should replace me as lead anchor, I told him you. They're making the announcement next week, act surprised.
Robin: Thank you, Sandy! And yes. I'll have dinner with you.
Sandy: How 'bout this weekend on the camping trip? I roast a mean weenie!
Ted: That girl, Penelope, she was majoring in Native American Culture. Are you still in touch with her?
Barney: Yeah, of course. Even though we slept together, we still get together occasionally to talk about our lives—of course I'm not in touch with her!

Ted: Have you ever seen a rain dance?
Penelope: (weakly) I've seen a filmstrip.
Ted: Terrific...Uh, look I should run. I'm getting brain surgery from some guy who's seen a couple of episodes of ER.
Ted: Penelope, I really need to make it rain this weekend.
Penelope: Why?
Ted: There's this girl...
Penelope: (laughs) There's this girl? You know, the traditional rain dance is a sacred prayer to nature. I don't think the Great Spirit looks too kindly on white dudes who co-opt it to get laid.
Barney: Ted, do you want me to slap you again? 'Cause I kinda enjoyed it the first time.
Ted: I'm crazy about you. I think we should be together. What do you say?
Robin: Yes. No. Maybe.
Ted: Those are the three options.

Barney: That wasn't me, that was the universe.
Barney: You are forcing me to be the voice of reason. And that's not a good look for me!
Penelope: Why the hell should I help you?
Barney: Come on, I know it didn't work out between us, but we did have a relationship.
Penelope: (thinks) We had sex twice in your car and then you dumped me. H-How is that a relationship?

I have a Windows 7 x64 laptop with a Windows XP x32 guest virtual machine installed using VirtualBox. Once I ran an app on the guest and found that it ran noticeably faster than it did on the host. Why would that be?
Since you mention Java, what is the version of your JVM and is it running in 32-bit or 64-bit mode on the host?
The larger memory footprint of 64-bit JVMs has very significant performance implications.
Applications may be faster in VM due to caching. Since VM store their disks in files, the host operation system may cache this files in RAM and they will work noticeable faster. The real world difference between 32bit and 64bit applications is a few percents.

Nicky Hilton in Dittos Kelsey Mid-Rise Skinny in Stitcher
It looks like Nicky Hilton has found a new pair of moto jeans to give a spin. She has been caught in her James Jeans pair for many years now, but for one of her recent Instagram shots, the socialite showed her admiration for the Dittos Kelsey Mid-Rise Skinny in Stitcher.
I agree with Nicky in saying that these are an amazing fit on her. I also like her choice in styling these very simple. I'm looking forward in seeing how else she will be wearing these jeans. You can click here to purchase these jeans from Zappos.
Nicky Hilton in James Jeans Twiggy Leggings in Slate
Nicky Hilton was seen doing some shopping and chatting on her cell phone while out and about in New York City a few days ago.
Nicky wore her James Jeans Twiggy Leggings in Slate again, with an almost identical outfit to the last time, minus the sweater. I love the fact that she often repeats outfits and has worn these jeans so much, they are really moulded to her, especially around the knees. It must be proof these jeans are great!

Nicky Hilton was seen out and about in SoHo in New York City while chatting on her cell phone. She wore her old dark blue denim leggings with ankle zips for the day.
Nicky paired them with an abstract printed wrap cardigan and some black Isabel Marant sneakers. We haven't seen her wear these denim leggings in a while actually! I can't say I am a huge fan of them due to how thin they look though, I much prefer her wearing her James Jeans. Buy denim leggings online at Shopbop.com.

Nicky Hilton in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Augusta
Nicky Hilton was photographed while chatting on her cell phone while out running errands in New York City. I think we see Nicky photographed equally on both coasts and her style seems to stay pretty consistent while on either side.
She wore her Rag & Bone Skinny jeans in Augusta with a black sweatshirt and leather brogues. I am glad to see a better photo of Nicky in these jeans since I think these photos really show off the color and all of the different details of the wash. You can buy Rag & Bone online from Shopbop.com.

The Wireless Networking Starter Kit
Adam Engst and Glenn Fleishman
Peachpit Press
302 pages not including index
The Wireless Networking Starter Kit is subtitled the practical guide to W-Fi networks for Windows and Macintosh, and this book by veteran writers Adam Engst and Glenn Fleishman is a complete success. It is full of real world "how to" information on how to understand, design, configure, troubleshoot, and use, a wireless network.
Engst penned the enormously successful Internet Starter Kit, and publishes the very popular TidBITS newsletter. Glenn Fleishman has co-written Real World Adobe GoLive, and has written for the New York Times. Their respective resumes set high expectations, and The Wireless Networking Starter Kit meets them all.
While hard-core Macintosh users may feel slighted that the book's subtitle leads off with Windows, Engst and Fleishmann gives Macintoshes their full attention in each chapter. This book, like all good Wi-Fi/802.11b networking books, is fully platform-agnostic.

After going through a few RDP sessions to Windows XP machines, when I come back to my local machine it appears some setting has been tripped so every key I type is registered as one of the function/alt keys plus the key I type, causing Windows to open and close windows randomly and other erratic behavior. Pressing the Windows key and numlock returns everything to normal. What causes this?
I have experienced this on multiple Windows 7 machines, but never in Windows Vista or Windows XP.

Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker in G-Star Jeans
Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick were pictured yesterday morning walking their two daughters, Marion and Tabitha, to School in the rain in New York City.
I remember when were getting a sighting of Sarah every day here on DenimBlog, but she seems to be a bit more low key lately. She did opt to wear her G-Star Boyfriend Jeans with her trademark cuff though, paired with sneakers, a leather jacket and striped tee. We rarely ever spot the female celebs out in G-Star, so this is a great change!

Sarah Jessica Parker in J Brand Scout Pants in Vintage Fawn
Sarah Jessica Parker and her daughters were snapped together while doing another school run. Sarah Jessica wore her J Brand Scout pants in Vintage Fawn with a tie dye shirt and striped sweater.
Although this is an older style pant from J Brand, I think it is a nice switch up from jeans, and the details like the cropped length and zipper makes it a little dressier than a chino. Even though these aren't a newer pant, I always enjoy seeing Sarah Jessica wearing them. I'd also love to see her break out an old pair of Houlihans! You can buy J Brand pants and jeans online at Singer22.com.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Level 99 Janice Crop Jeans in Striped
Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted strolling through New York after dropping her children off at school. The actress mixed her prints with a pair of the Level 99 Janice Crop jeans in Striped with a leopard print shirt. She then added a pop of color with a pair of pink heels from her SJP line.
Sarah Jessica can pull off anything, but I think what makes this look work here is keeping the colors monochrome and the shade of the shoes on the softer side. How many of you are tempted to try a look like this? You can click here to purchase Level 99 from their website.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Level 99 Riley Zipper Skinny Jeans in Gray
Sarah Jessica Parker was snapped wearing a pair of Level 99 jeans while doing the school run with her daughters. Sarah Jessica wore her Riley zipper skinny jeans in gray with a pink leather jacket, printed blouse, and Nike sneakers.
We've seen her in the brand quite a bit lately and have seen her style these once before. I'm not the biggest fan of the way she's styled this outfit, as there are a lot of different elements and it looks a bit mishmashed. You can buy Level 99 jeans online from Level99jeans.com.

Snooze You Lose Airfares Around The USA
You've got to look hard for great airfare bargains, but our crew at Bestfares.com have been busy today and we have gathered up over 600 mystery airfares just for you.
Many regional airports are seeing terrible and ugly airfares, especially for late July and early August travel period.
Here is a good example, you live in Dallas and want to fly to Madison, Wisconsin on July 8 thru July 15, 2015, the roundtrip airfare is $475 roundtrip. However, if you use our "compare nearby airports" feature for the exact same dates, Milwaukee Airport is 73 miles away and will cost you only $221 roundtrip nonstop. You save $250 per person, and a family of four saves $1,000. Folks, that's not chump change; for an extra 73 miles you can rent a car or have someone pick you up. Heck, I wonder what Uber would charge!
Short haul flights under 500 miles one-way, on some routes have climbed to sky high levels. Next week we will tell you about a big sale we are predicting that could drop the airfares to only $98 roundtrip for late summer and fall travel, for these same short haul flights.
Listed below are a few examples of reasonable airfares, that we found for late spring, early summer, and late fall travel. We have tried our best to avoid those $400 to $500 summer airfares. If you see SWA beside the airfare below then it is a Southwest airfare.

Here are a few examples of what you will find.
|Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale $98 RT SWA
|Washington D.C. to Indianapolis $149 RT

Drive Out Of Florida From $10 A Day. Great Family Vacation Option
What City In Florida Will Your Family Explore This Spring Or Summer. Our Florida Fly Drive Is Back!
Wow. oh wow our Dinah Shore special fly drive is back! Our Florida special is back for spring and early summer travel. This is a great deal for a family of four heading to Florida when school lets out in June. How this offer works is that you pick up a car in Florida, but you must return it outside of the state of Florida.
The daily car rental rate for a full size car can be as little as $10 a day plus taxes. Keep in mind some car rental taxes and fees are highway robbery. Some of the major car rental companies will even let you drive your car all the way to the West Coast. That's why we call this our Dinah Shore special from her 1952 commercial song "See the USA in your Chevrolet!
Let me give you an idea of how frugal of a getaway this deal can be this spring or early summer for a family of four. During April and May on select dates Southwest Airlines is selling airfares with all taxes flying nonstop from Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale for only $49 one-way. Airfare for a family of four comes to a total of $196. We have several car rental companies that allow you to take advantage of this offer. We priced a full size car being picked up on April 14 in Ft. Lauderdale, and returning it one week later, on April 21 in Dallas. The total for the seven day car rental was $139. So now the total cost of four one-way airfares, and a one week car rental comes to $335.
We priced a seven day car rental both picking up and dropping off in Ft. Lauderdale the same week from the same company. Avis wants $491 with all taxes included for the exact same full size car rental. What is amazing is with our deal you get your airplane tickets and car rental for $156 less than the car rental alone.
This is one great way to see a little bit of America this year, and even better news; you're not putting all that mileage on your own car! Some of the rental car companies are allowing you to keep the car for up to 21 days for the same low daily rate.

Set Your Sights On Europe This Summer!
Oh yes folks, this is not a misprint! Actually, it's a sad story for USA residents who must pay as much as double or more to jet set to Europe during the peak June, July, and August travel period.
The good news is you have us to help you. We have an insider travel secret, and we think he major airlines are going to hate us for giving you the real skinny about airfares to Europe.
We have looked at three major airports in Canada, which are Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal; and that these airports offer nonstop and one-stop service to many European destinations. We have also added a smaller Canadian airport which is Windsor. This airport is about 12 miles from Detroit's airport. However, the airfare to Europe from Windsor can be up to 50% less than from Detroit for travel to the same destination. Folks that live in the Michigan area such as Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, or Northern Ohio, such as Toledo, will save super big bucks, by just driving a few miles further to Windsor.
Here is a good example, from Detroit to Rome departing July 15, and returning July 22 on Delta the roundtrip airfare is $2,0279. However, Windsor to Rome is $1,081. That's not quite a $1,000 in savings, but $998 is close enough! Doesn't that just tick you off? That folks outside of the USA that live in Canada, and Europe can fly to America for so much less than we can fly to their countries.
Oh by the way, Rome to Detroit on the same dates is $1,149 roundtrip. This story reminds me of when I used to do the Larry King Show, he would say, "He's back, he's back the man the airlines love to hate"; and now you know why!
Now airfares to Canada are not a cheap ticket. However, many of you will still save $500 to $1,000 per person by flying to Canada. For example, if you live in Buffalo, New York or close by you could drive to a cheap gateway like Toronto. In the Northeast, Burlington, Vermont is about 75 miles from Montreal, and if you live on the West Coast, you can look at fares out of Vancouver or Toronto.
From San Francisco to Vancouver departing July 15, and returning July 22, the airfare is as low as $362 roundtrip. The airfare from Vancouver to Paris is $846 roundtrip, flying nonstop on Air France. The nonstop roundtrip airfare on American Airlines from San Francisco to Paris on the same dates is $1,811. United has a nonstop airfare of $1,731, but either way you save at least $523 roundtrip. Plus, as an added bonus, you can break up your trip in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal, which are all super great cities to spend a few days in, with no extra airfare cost.
Please note on Bestfares.com all airfares to Europe are priced in US Dollars. Check out some of the prices below for airfares to London departing from Canada.
|July 15-22
Now go out and check your airfare from your hometown airport to Europe. If you are seeing skyway robbery airfares to Europe, consider flying to Canada first, then fly from Canada to Europe. By booking two roundtrip tickets versus one you could save several hundred dollars per person to Europe this summer!
