Hempstead, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Deon Jones scored 22 points, leading five players in double figures, as the Monmouth Hawks slipped by the Hofstra Pride, 88-84, in the season opener for both programs at Mack Sports Complex.
Jones also accounted for nine rebounds for the Hawks (1-0), matching the effort by Tyrone O'Garro on the glass. Josh James pitched in with 19 points and six assists off the bench, followed by Andrew Nicholas with 13 points, Justin Robinson 11 and Max DiLeo 10 points in a reserve role.
Hofstra (0-1) was paced by Zeke Upshaw with 22 points, although he shot just 2-of-8 behind the 3-point line. Chris Jenkins accounted for 17 points off the bench, followed by Dion Nesmith and Moussa Kone with 10 points apiece, the latter also pulling down 10 rebounds. Stephen Nwaukoni produced a game-high 13 boards for the Pride.
The Pride held Monmouth to only 36.1 percent shooting from the floor in the first half and led by as many as 12 points before settling on a 45-36 edge at the break.
In the second half it was Hofstra that struggled from the field (.355), converting a mere 3-of-15 beyond the arc, allowing the Hawks to storm back and grab the four-point win.
In a game that featured five ties and 13 lead changes, the Pride cost themselves a chance at a victor by shooting only 9-of-31 on the perimeter.

Stay away from the T-Mobile comet. This is my first and only smart phone for now. i love android but I am stuck on 2.2 which blows and is too slow but it also has to do with my device specs which are also not good. Next month the wife and I will switch to a Samsung with dual core CPU over 1Ghz and more memory, better camera, etc.. It may be Galaxy 2 or 3 but have you looked at phone like the Samsung Blaze? That is what we may upgrade to.

That sounds promising, how are they performing on JB?
Xperia Ray, Sola, Go.
The Xperia Ray has a working CM10 build, it's won't perform that well under full load but it fits the budget.
I heard good things about both, nothing in particular though.
First of all forget about cyanogenmod ROMs
Use AOKP roms
I know man, I mainly mean once mid-class used phones here that still have some potential for say the next main release or so...
Do NOT get a budget Android phone - these cheap devices are what's wrong with Android. They don't offer a very good Android experience, and it will put you off Android.

SuicideSuicide... they call it sin
They say it is a death in which no-one wins...
They encourage you not to do it, they say it is wrong...
But who is there to encourage you when you can't be strong.
You feel like you have no-one, not even a friend.
No shoulder to cry on, just one last letter to send.
The Raven Metaphor"Oh raven, please take pity, won't you just leave me beMore Like This
I really am not in the mood for this tonight"
With that the raven for once seems to heed my warning
And from up on my seventh floor apartment takes flight
Between you and me I doubt it was real anyway
Just some lazy, overused and tired metaphor
The dark feathers symbolising the violent mood swings
The pecking beak are thoughts I tried hard to ignore
Oh to live a day without her emotional turmoil
And without her beady eyes watching my every move
It seems misery loves company when no one else does
And although it's hard to admit it I loved her too
"Oh raven, please take pity, won't you just leave me be
I can no longer stand the din of your deafening call"
With that I'm compelled to try to follow the ravens lead
But from up on the seventh floor I begin to fall
Between you and me I doubt this life was real anyway
Just a series of events sent to confound and confuse
This life leaves no scars from the inter
Simple Girl Complicated ProblemsI know I am not the daughter you wantedMore Like This
But at least you got it right the second time
My little sister found her place in your hearts
But I feel I have never really found mine
Why would you care to listen to your first born?
When you have a fresh blank canvas to create
All of those things that you wish I could have been
Had I not developed such negative traits
But those negative traits make me who I am
And shouldn't you love me without condition?
See my stubbornness as being strong minded
And when I talk, don't interrupt just listen
I know I am not the daughter you wanted
I scowl but I still need your loving embrace
Though you barely acknowledge my existence
Apart from to tell me what I've done wrong today
But why would you ever want to talk to me
When an argument is never far away?
It's the tone of your voice that hurts me the most
Rather than the words that you choose to say
To think I was once a baby in your arms
With such innocent eyes I could do no wrong
In many ways I
I'll Tell My Secrets To The MoonSo long as you furnish me with a windowMore Like This
And a steel frame bed in a corner of a room
I'll endeavour to keep the pane transparent
To give my eyes a crystal clear view of the moon
Regardless of what phase you are going through
Whether it be half, crescent, full, blue or new
You have never once shown me your dark side
But so many times I have shown mine to you
But tranquillity can be seen on a clear night
Tides roll through my veins as thoughts flood to my pen
Of all the ancestors that have gone before me
Who've had the same moon looking down over them
So long as you furnish me with a window
And a steel frame bed in a corner of a room
You are more than welcome to keep the pain coming
As my true life source is out of reach from you
Regardless of what phase I am going through
Whether I feel sombre or jovial in mood
It's easy to call me a loner or lunatic
Maybe I just see things from a different point of view
So now I look to the skies on a clear night
Knowing there'll be no
Little Bird AfraidI was singing my heart out through all of the tearsMore Like This
Like a bird chirping in sorrow through a waterfall
All of my friends had long since taken to the sky
And with my lungs full of air I sung out one last call
I had spread my wings out as wide as they would go
To show the world there was potential in me
But I was never brave enough to take flight with them
So was unable to become who I was meant to be
Now I will sing my song to the world one last time
In hope that someone just like me will hear my words
May they echo over the mountains and the seas
Until they meet someone's ear and can be heard
I want to inspire others to live their life full
But in doing so I have to ask myself why
Can I not just begin my journey again
Is it ever really too late to learn to fly?
I've always been a little bird inside a cage
With a door that forever remains open wide
I was just too afraid to try and fly away
But now I see that I no longer need to hide
So I will come from the shadows with my bi
Blanking Out The Bad DaysI don't like to keep blanking out the bad thoughtsMore Like This
As this means missing out on whole days
In fact weeks, months and years are passing me by
Which tells me this is not just a phase
But that's not what my loved ones like to believe
They tell me it's my age and will soon pass
Their turpentine optimism is misplaced
As my future begins to fade like brass
I don't like to keep blanking out the bad days
But of late I do not have much choice
See anytime someone asks if I'm okay
A tremble can be heard in my voice
Somehow though I always keep it together
Like a jigsaw laid out on a table
But when I am alone I fall to pieces
In a box with a 'parts missing' label
I don't like to keep blanking out the voices
But they question each decision I make
And lure me into troubles as if they're a puddle
When they turn out to be a lake
That is always just one foot deeper in depth
Than my fragile frame is tall in height
And I know if I keep blanking out th
Fear of LifePlease do not fear being beneath the Earth's soilMore Like This
For that is where the seeds of flowers grow
Be patient and life will reveal its mysteries
But only when it is ready to do so
By all means take time to search for the truth
But beware, please do not become obsessed
As we only fear what we don't understand
And what we don't understand is but a test
A test of faith in whatever you believe
Now stand up for yourself and you cannot fail
If life is the hammer waiting to fall
Then you must refuse to be the nail
Please do not fear being above the Earth's soil
For that is where the flowers begin to bloom
Just open your heart as their petals do
And your life will be as sweet as their perfume
You could be the change in someone's journey
Showing them the path from incomplete to whole
Why not give someone the gift of your love
And watch as they gently unwrap your soul
Suddenly the truth will dawn upon you
To live life without fear and you cannot fail
If life is a sailboa
The Right Hand Curse ReversedEverything that my right hand has ever writtenMore Like This
Comes from the heart and mind of a boy that is cursed
So from now on I'll learn to write with my left hand
In hope not expectation that this curse will be reversed
And then I shall sit in front of an open fire
Unflinching as each flame licks closer to my face
Not close enough though so it could swallow me whole
But just close enough so that it can have a taste
Of the beads of regret in my perspiration
That are forming and rolling down my furrowed brow
From a wildfire mind that is now out of control
Come thoughts that these damp morals fail to disallow
Everything that my right hand has ever written
Might as well have been scribed in invisible ink
With my thoughts being a vessel on a voyage of hope
And the weight of my memories causing it to sink
Right down to the depths of the deepest ocean floor
And left down there to rot beneath the sea bed
I thank the Lord that they'll remain out of reach
And that none of the words I've
Wicked TongueI will open my curtains tonightMore Like This
Before I relinquish my bones to sleep
So I can rise and shine with the sun
At an incline that is not quite as steep
And I will plan my daily routine
So I am not required to interact
With anyone or with anything
Other than my path crossing black cat
I am the ghost of your former love
I am the spirit of your last best friend
Remember when I said I need you
Well I will not be needing you again
Never forget I am someone's brother
Never forget that I am someone's son
Remember this when you throw your stones
And you lash out with your wicked tongue
A Lonely LifeI have proof that love isn't realMore Like This
And that fate means nothing
Though I did feel my heart breaking
So there must be something
Maybe I'm alone in my thoughts
That love's worth fighting for
Maybe I'm alone in my dreams
Just as I was the night before
Oh Lord, I don't need no children
Lord, I don't need no wife
Please take me now or leave me here
To live out my lonely life
I have proof that love isn't real
That souls are worth nothing
But I felt my spirit leaving me
While my life was ongoing
Maybe I'm over sentimental
And listen to poets too much
Maybe I'll believe in what I feel
Not only what I can touch
Oh Lord, I don't need to smile
Lord, I don't need no laughter
Leave me here or take me now
To a heavenly hereafter
Suicide Is Not An OptionI find myself weaving the final stitchesMore Like This
Of a noose I have been working on for a while
I swore I'd use it by the time it was complete
If me and my sanity hadn't reconciled
Each thread representing a flawed emotion
Which tightly woven together makes up my life
If you're the one to cut me down from the rafters
Love, patience and understanding must be your knife
I find myself with a gun in my right hand
With only one bullet left in the cold chamber
I hand the loaded pistol with safety off
Blindly in to the hands of a complete stranger
Does this represent me opening my heart
And risking a life of abject, dismal sorrow
This God given gift of love is worth the risk
And cupid's bullets can pierce deeper than arrows
I find myself perched on the edge of a cliff
And at this point in time I am feeling unsure
If the wind that's blowing me towards the verge
Is real or in fact just another metaphor
That is representing all of the worries
Which try to push me to the seas
Alone and EmptyMore Like This
I thought I enjoyed being alone
It would be great just being myself
The only one I fooled was me
When I put "me" away on the shelf
No one to hug, no one to love,
No one to kiss or kiss back
This is not what I thought it would be
I could never be happy like that
It's hard to get used to the loneliness
And believe me, it isn't a ball
Thinking your life is the best it can be
When it's really nothing at all
There's freedom yes, glorious freedom
To sit on your glorious throne
Now try to pretend your happy
You can't....because your alone
I used to tell others I'm happy
When in truth it was only a lie
I forgot how it feels to be wanted
I forgot how to ask myself why
Time on my hands, nowhere to go
Telling myself, I'm okay
This was the fun of being alone
But it wasn't the right way
Then I found love, a new life
I discovered again, I could care
My heart opened up completely
I found someone who wanted to share
Never again will I be alone
And put my heart through the strain
I miss hearing I love
Silently KillingMy room is darkMore Like This
As I await your call
My phone isn't ringing
It hasn't rung at all
My heart is pounding
Why aren't you calling?
My eyes fill with water
But my mouth makes no noise
I don't want to cry
But I feel I have no choice-
I want no one to hear me
Yet, I want someone to care
But the person I am waiting for
Never seems to be there
Where are you and why aren't you calling?
I'm holed up in my corner
Confused and bawling
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you care?
When will I finally realize
What you do to me... isn't fair?
I can't control my emotions
And I can't control your life
I look out my bedroom door
Only to see
There's a knife on my kitchen floor
I pick it up
I feel no more
And, all the sudden, I'm on the floor
Surrounded by blood
My body goes numb
Why- over a dumb guy
Must I act so dumb?
I can no longer cry, nor can I sigh
Why did I do this over a stupid guy?
My phone starts to ring
But I cannot get up
The answering machine picks up
It's you and, "your done."
I can't feel a th
My AngelThere is this angel, she is so sweetMore Like This
this angel is the best person a guy could meet
this angel has such a loving heart
I cannot stand being so far apart
she always knows how to make me smile
this angel is worth my while
this angel has such a loving touch
this angel I love so very much
I will do anything to stay together
I want to hold this angel in my arms... forever.
My "Sperm-Donar"All my life all I wanted was for u to tuck me in bed...More Like This
And to wake up, just to jump in bed between u and mommy
But instead all I got was a good nite from mom...
And a tear for each day you weren't there.
I needed you to pick me up when I scraped my knee
And to wipe away my tears when the little boys made me cry...
All I wanted was my daddy by my side
To take care of me when I wasn't feeling... right.
You left me in the rain, so I could cry
And watch all my dreams fade away.
You walked out the door, never saw me born
And you never even thought twice about walking back in my life.
I wake up to a brand new day and you're still not here
But it's... okay.
I'm sick an tired of making wishes on my birthday
That you'll come... and you won't hurt me.
I'm all cried out from the tears my mother couldn't shed
So I cried for her, all the pain she went through
She raised me alone and she had to love me all alone
Because you couldn't accept the responsibility of being a man.
I wanted a family like t
You're just a sperm donor...I'm something in your junk drawerMore Like This
Nothing of my own
I could only be
What you wanted to make me
Why do I make myself believe
You still control me
Controlled by fate
Conformed to life
You're the brick wall
At the end of my path
I need a little help
To stop miming my way
Through the life you want
Everyone else is the invisible box
You're a slit on my wrist
And a stab in my back
Bail me out of this hell
Gotta get out
Gotta run away
No oxygen left
In this hell
The real me is much worse
Controlled by fate
Conformed to life
You're the brick wall
At the end of my path
I need a little help
To stop miming my way
Through the life you want
Everyone else is the invisible box
I'm not who you are
Not who you want
You don't know me
Don't pretend to care
I wish you could see
Who I am
But you only see
Things I can never be
Dear Sperm Donor,I'm not saying that I hate you. I'm just saying that if you were on fire and I had a glass of water, I'd drink it.More Like This
Just like youI looked into your eyes as you said those stupid words "I love you"More Like This
and I fell for it...
You took my heart into you're hands those, five years ago, not knowing what you were doing.
We bonded,
We grew close,
I felt like a little girl in her Daddy's arms...
Every time we hugged...
Every visit...
Every second was cherish...and every time you were squeezing my heart until there was nothing left.
Soon, but not soon enough my eyes where opened to see a side of you I didn't want to see.
They way you loved "the others" more,
The way you called them more,
The way you were more excited to see them.
And now this time I looked into you eyes, and heard stupid words again
"I'm sorry."
Those words coming from nothing but a hollow hole what you call a heart.
I c
Breaking outIm so tired of being insignificant to you,More Like This
Im not some second hand friend.
Im me, myself, and I,
And I wont be who you want me to be,
Im not your puppet, and I wont be controlled by you anymore.
Im tired of being put on your back burner,
Im not someone you push aside.
You said you would always be there,
But your actions dont show it.
Youre like the weather, changing on the hour, every hour,
I cant keep up with this inconsistency, and I dont have an umbrella.
Im cutting the strings, you cant manipulate me anymore.
Im done; Im taking my wings, and flying away.
One WayI fought for you .you gave up on me.More Like This
I told you I needed you you turned the other way.
I told you I loved you you said it back.
I gave you everything I had you gave little in return.
I'm your friend when you need me you're unreachable, and unreliable.
I exist when we're together you push me away when were not.
I can't keep secrets from you you do nothing but hide them from me.
I'm not asking for a lot
I'm not asking to be the only one
I'm just asking when it, comes down to it be there. I know I'm not you're only friend, and you're not mine. But friendship is a two way street and I'm tired of this one being one way.
Who'll wipe away my tears?Who'll wipe away my tearsMore Like This
and teach me to fly again
when my wings will be broken
by the weight of passing years?
a fool's dancei came to the still placeMore Like This
where time stops
and love flows from every leaf
and the others
crept from behind the trees
shy at first but slowly
we grinned at each other
like fools and we danced
until the morning light
you were there
and you too
the rest passed us by
too busy or afraid to stop
Yes, I Have a PenisYes, I Have A PenisMore Like This
Do not assume (if I hold the door for you),
that I am making a statement
about your inabilities
to open the door for yourself.

which is expanded as branches
it shades the sky
colours which grow dark
shading the sight in the tears
in the branches of the pain
covering the stars

tears as leaves
they come off the branches
they fall in the night
they mark the shade as falling stars
and they dance as feathers
in a winter of pain
where the moon cries the own sun
where the tears are blood
and where the river begins
pain drops transported by the current
the time dies
been drowned in the despair
fingers drenched with blood
which for the answers still look
they follow the river
to understand that the end is only the beginning
to understand that every tear
will cut for always the soul
wounds on a bark
interrupted the rings of the life
bleeding the despair
shouting again the snow
winter which dances in the darkness
clouds of shade which melt themselves in the air
shivers of intense cold
dress made of stone
I fall in the river

Something wants me to do this all over again.
Since when does emotion hurt this much?
Something so real to me, and so fictitious to her.
As with everything in my life, I was too late.
My heart is the eternal optimist,
Continually it refuses to listen to what my mind is saying.
If I really care about her more than anything,
Ill care enough to let her be happy.

Ill live with my own hurt, as long as she never has to.

That was an understatement really, considering the room was thoroughly protectedwith various warning and protection symbols that were drawn on the walls. Some were visible to the naked eye while others were only able to be seen by those not of this plane. Even in the semi-darkened room, Dean knew they were there.
Especially since a few of them were done with his own blood.
The hairs on the back of his neck started to rise, and with it his blood pressure. He clutched at the leather jacket that he was using as a pillow. He didn't need to know the cause of his senses going on high alert.
Because 'he' was approaching.
He couldn't quite explain howhe just did.
As if to announce 'his' presence, the earth seemed to rumble in 'his' wake as lightning flashed o
Lucifer's Rebellion - Part 3That's just the way they wanted it, they and the Most High wanted to betray me. It lasted for years. My angelic followers, the ones who believed in me and believed in what I had told them fought along side me, against Michael and the rest of the angels that wished to participate. It seemed like forever, our constant fighting and war, none of us being able to die and therefore no one every particularly loosing. During the whole thing, I just never understood it, why Michael would rather fight with me, fight his brother.More Like This
This entire time I believed each of us had our upper hands, one of us would be about to win and then the tables would turn, and then again. This is why it lasted so long, and yet it was over before I even knew what was happening.
So here I am hanging on for dear life, off of a ledge of energy, looking down at the Earth beneath me. Forgive me for being so weak, but I felt utterly betrayed, and I was almost crying. I was looking up at Michael, who had managed t

Still, as I had been the past millenia, fury raged within me, it just . . . wasn't fair. Michael and Gabriel thought it was just fine, however I was able to pursuade some other Angels about why it was a horrible thing, they were crushed under my extensive power without The Most High knowing about it. If He was not going to listen to my reason, I'd just have to force Him to see things my way. Determined to overthrow Him, I wanted to say my last true words to my beloved brothers.More Like This
"Gabriel . . . Michael . . ."

Lucifer's RebellionI'll take this slowly, and start from the very beginning. At one point during his rule, God created three angels to administer the government of Him throughout the Angelic Realm. Michael, Gabriel, and I: Lucifer. We were known as the Archangels, which were of the highest rank among His authority, serving different administrates to the Infinities. Angels were always known as the messengers of God, and of the Angels He created nine orders, each Angel was placed in one of these categories depending on their ranks. Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Domination's, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Archangels, and Angels; or so they say. Michael, Gabriel, and I never much bothered with other Angels, we all pretty much had our own things to attend to. To what, I will not say, it is only to be revealed to those of higher status than mortals are; you weren't meant to know what it was we worked on.More Like This

Angel of Sorrow ch. 1Long ago, when the world consisted of only good and evil... The Angels and the Devils where at war with one another. For years, countless battles raged on. With many bittersweet victories for both sides. But what was the purpose for all this? None remembered.More Like This
One fateful day, all battles ceased. The Head Angels would be meeting with the Head Devils. The war was to come to an end after this meeting.
High above the earth, in a place mortals call 'Heaven', four Angels waited. Michael, the Archangel, stood tall and proud. Long sun-gold hair fell past his shoulders, smoldering gold eyes stared ahead. God's favorite. He was the most beautiful Angel of all. Next to him was Raphael. With sky blue hair and dark blue eyes, his gaze was as cold as eyes. He was flawless. On the other side of the two was Gabriel. Red as blood where his hair and eyes. A warm and caring aura surrounded him.
Last, but not least, there was a girl. Her hair was like silver, and her eyes ruby red. She did not possess the

The sultry summer air had given way to rain halfway through the night. It fell like a green jungle mist from the sky, the gold lights of the houses below blurry and indistinct from the second tier of the construction overlooking Appleton. A white and noblesse figure watched the town from the scaffolding vigilantly. He stood with an impenetrable calm.
Raphael the Seraphim considered himself for a moment, and then extended his palm out into the night. He watch impassively as the rain rebounded mistily before even touching his skin or garb. He brushed his dry fingertips together. Raphael had never felt the rain. He allowed his arm to fall back to his side and threw his silver haired head back to stare deeply into the heavens.
The wind paid him little regard. It howled and whipped around his keep, but his creaseless robes and red sarong remained unmolested. Off in the distance a car could be heard splashing through the rainwater, doo

On her hands and knees she gasped for breath as sweat dripped off her brow. The crunching of leaves sounded behind her and her heart felt like it was going to explode from fright. Slowly, she rolled to sit on the ground, her hands out behind her for support, her chest continuing to rise and fall rapidly as she stared into the darkness of the forest.
A bare foot came into the light that shone between the branches of the tall trees. This confused her. For a moment she thought shed lost her mind.

He was a figure of grief as he dug his nails into his face and dragged them through his skin, chunks of skin falling away and blood running down his face but he was numb to the pain.

RFC: More Interactive Graphs For Benchmarks
Published on 08 January 2012 07:10 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
3 Comments
Here's some work that's landed to ultimately provide a more interactive experiencing when viewing benchmark results, but your feedback is requested.
First, the technical details: Within the
Phoronix Test Suite
Git code-base now for the forthcoming 3.8-Bygland release is a new pts_Graph with the internal design being completely re-engineered. Up to this point, pts_Graph (the graphing library written for the Phoronix Test Suite that generates the line graphs, bar graphs, box plots, scatter plots, etc of test results) has used bilde_renderer to handle all of the drawing.
The bilde_renderer is a multi-format drawing API I wrote for the purpose of being able to seamlessly target SVG, PNG, JPEG, Adobe Flash/SWF, and PDF formats with these pts_Graph graphs. The bilde_renderer design has worked well for several years with having a uniform API and then different back-ends for each of the image formats. The need for supporting different formats has come down to using SVG on modern web-browsers since the resulting files are very small and display well, needing to support JPEG for merging graphs into certain PDF files and other document formats, and dumping PNG graphs for un-supported web browsers.
Now with most browsers in 2012, SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is working well across all major browsers with even the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer finally playing natively with SVG. There's only a few modern exceptions like a few SVG bugs with Konqueror's KHTML and the latest Opera browser still not handling a few SVG text alignment attributes correctly. So for most cases, SVG graphs from the Phoronix Test Suite are great and delivering the best image quality, file size, and also the greatest flexibility in supporting interactions with the user, etc. However, support for PNG/JPEG graphs is still needed for the problematic web-browsers and for embedding graphs into other document types.
The problem with the status quo of bilde_renderer is that this universal API still needs to be extended each time of adding new features, which these days come down to mostly adding more interactivity and other features. Most of the recent API additions have then only been implemented in the SVG back-end of bilde_renderer, so this just becomes a burden.
However, to allow for more quickly introducing new features to the SVG graphs, pts_Graph has been re-worked. In the new graphing code for Phoronix Test Suite 3.8 and later, pts_Graph internally is now manipulating an SVG DOM directly. This way new SVG features can be added quickly and easily to pts_Graph, such as mouse-over effects, more linking between results, drilling down on more test result details, etc. This means most of the time bilde_renderer is bypassed completely. which will result in slightly faster performance (time to generate graphs) for
and other cases where dozens or hundreds of dynamic graph requests can happen per second.
For cases where a JPEG/PNG version of the graph is needed, new Phoronix Test Suite code allows using the SVG DOM as an IR that is then fed to a bilde_renderer back-end accordingly and the unsupported portions being ignored. Effectively this makes it a lightweight SVG to PNG/JPEG translator. Compared to other open-source SVG to PNG conversion methods, this custom implementation provides 1:1 accuracy for the important drawing calls that the Phoronix Test Suite cares about for providing a static graph while the size of this translator is less than 10KB of code.
There's also some other pts_Graph changes that are being worked on too for allowing some nifty features coming soon.
To sum it up, the Phoronix Test Suite graphs can now be made much richer and highly interactive in a cleaner and easier manner. The SVG graphs are what most people deal with and then the static JPEG/PNG support remains. With Phoronix Test Suite 4.0 later in the year is my target for having many new end-user features added to the graphs rendered by the Phoronix Test Suite and OpenBenchmarking.org. (Ideally by the 4.0 release my last gripes with the SVG support in the remaining Linux browsers will also be addressed.) But prior to that, I would like to hear some feedback in terms of what visual features you would like added to the result graphs or examples of other graphs you enjoy viewing right now on the web. Please share this feedback within the forums. Thanks, and other feature requests for the Phoronix Test Suite are also welcome.

Desk arrived in perfect condition, was very easy to assemble (one man, 15 minutes or less). The instructions were a bit awful, but it's not rocket science. Tips for fast assembly: There are two cylindrical pipes that make up the glass-supporting part of this desk. Through this pipe's 6 big holes you insert 6 screws and attach them to the glass top after you assemble the desk frame. There are two X shaped rods that must attach at the back of the desk. Make sure the cylindrical pipes are in the right place by verifying the cylinder with the extra (and smaller, and only on one side of the pipe) screw holes in the bottom for the X shaped rods is attached to the top of the leg-piece that has the hole in the foot for said X shaped rods. Face these small screw holes down. In short, there is a very distinct front and back cylindrical support rod, and if you know this going in, your assembly will be MUCH faster. Desk is great quality, gorgeous, and easily support my triple monitor 3x1 stand, speaks, keyboard, mouse, and various decorations with a little room to spare. Great Buy!!
I gave this desk as a birthday gift for my nephew who is a professional CAD design engineer. He was really happy with the gift and put it into his office! He is the typical guy who already has everything and very hard to buy gifts for. He uses it as a show piece in his office, set up as an entry side table with a nice globe and some other engineering items propped upon it. He says his clients often compliment this piece and he gave me a 2 thumbs up on my decor style. Thanks overstock for having something this unique for "the guy who already has everything"!!
This glass looks great in our office. It is very contemporary and looks like very good quality. We had slight difficulties putting it together (we had to manually bend one of the metal parts) but other than that, after assembled, I am very pleased with how it looks and functions. Definitely one of my better buys on overstock. I've learned to trust the reviews now.
this desk suits my personal style so well. Love the map detail, love the metal and glass combination and the x beams go so well with the theme of the furniture in my home. great find. great buy. This is desk is meant to be a show piece not for storage and clutter.
The desk is nicer than I expected. The map imprint looks pretty cool and the metallic frame adds a classy modern feel to the desk. The glass top is smooth for writing and the assembly was easy and took me less than 30 minutes. The desk is sturdy and of solid construction. The desk looks and feels like it should cost at least $100 more than the $150 that overstock sells it for.
I've gotten so many compliments on this desk. Everyone always asks where I purchased it. Perfect for my office / travel themed space
Easy to put together considering how technically challenged I am.
Speedy delivery and an easy assemble (for my husband). This piece is attractive and a conversations starter.
Super cute and it's very sturdy love love it.... Looks great and expensive...
Overall there is a lot of detail and I am learning my geography. Find it funny that the Hawaii is shown as only one island and there is no Tahiti. Very happy with my table. Easy to assemble. Good value.
Reading some of the reviews gave me a bit of pause, but, I ordered the desk and it arrived perfectly intact. I thought it was very well packaged for shipping. Assembly was easy as pie...really, 11 bolts. There is a way to mess up the X-brace, but it is rather obviously wrong and fits like a charm when you reverse the lie of one the pieces.
This desk is packaged really well, so if you're freaked out about getting a large hunk of glass delivered to your door just relax. It's packed in a very thick cardboard box and inside you will find another cardboard box with styrofoam protecting the glass and the legs. It's easy to assemble, but there were two of us working together so I suggest having a friend help out. All the parts, pieces and tools you need are included along with assembly directions. It's a very good looking desk! I mean it looks like it was three times the price! Believe me, it's gorgeous in person! If you're on the fence about getting it just buy it already :) I have a clear, lucite-type, acrylic chair with the desk and it looks great. There is enough room on the desk for a computer with plenty of room left over to do homework. You could use it in an office, or at home. It's stylish and has plenty of room to get your work done.
I really liked the style of this product, however, it was delivered with-out a Notice " Glass Enclosed". The glass crushed like crush ice. Also, the box was very thin, without secure protection. I liked this product so much, that I requested a new delivery, but to no avail. It was delivered in the same manner as the first delivery.
Great desk! The first one came with shattered glass top. They sent out new one the same day. It is a great desk for a bedroom or den.
Great desk--only one complaint. The desk will scratch if you are not careful. I am currently searching for a thin, adhesive cover for the desk.
The table came to the house completely shattered. I'm very disappointed.
This desk helps create a quality office space in the corner of our large living room. It exceeded expectations - quality and looks. With the tip from a previous reviewer, it was assembled in about 15 minutes. Lovely!
My daughter loves this desk. She needed a place to do homework and wanted a glass desk to keep it from shrinking the room. She is more than happy with this World Map Desk.
My 13 year old son chose this and we put it together in about 25 minutes. It's serves it's purpose very well : looks cool in his room and enough space for homework etc. May not last 20 years but for the price - PERFECT

New OSU Leader: Ohio State Commits $400M To Affordability Effort
Ohio State University's newest president says the institution is committing $400 million over five years to lower students' costs and improve the value of their education.
Listen to the Story
American Electric Power of Columbus today says it welcomes a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in an air pollution case. The high court blocked a federal lawsuit by states and conservation groups against AEP and four other utilities seeking limits on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. WOSU's Tom Borgerding reports.
By an eight to nothing vote the Supreme Court ruled that the authority to seek reductions in power plant emissions rests with the federal Environmental Protection Agency. AEP spokeswoman, Melissa McHenry, says the utility welcomes the ruling in the seven year old case.
"Since the day the lawsuit was filed back in 2004, we have always said that states and other parties should look to Congress and not the courts to set policies on a global issue like climate change." McHenry says.
The lawsuit by a handful of states and some environmental groups sought specific emission reductions from AEP and other electric power companies. David Doniger at the Natural Resources Defense Council says carbon dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants threaten communities.
"Its driving stronger storms and floods. And in some parts of the country its making things much drier, stronger droughts. These are all threats to our health and well-being and our safety."
The EPA says it will decide by next year whether to order utilities to cut their emissions of carbon dioxide.

I've had this car for just about a year now. 2010 model. I use this car to commute and Everywhere I go get a head turn from other people. You may call me an attention seeker. Yes, I enjoy people's stares on my vehicle.
In fact, this car offers differentiation from other car owners. I personally think BMW's attempt of making a SAC was pretty bold move, yet succesful one.
This car drives like sports sedan and has high view, offers good horse power and torque, but my favorite is the look.
I have to say this car isn't for everyone. This car is for the people who's willing to spend money to differentiate oneself from others.

My salesman took me for my test ride on a freshly paved highway and secondary road. I was pleased. I didn't realize this cars Achilles heel until driving off the lot (after the sale) onto a less than perfect road. Minor road imperfections hurl the passenger about the cabin like a rag doll, eventually making one seek out the smoothest routes to avoid this very, very unpleasant ride. It appears BMW engineers could only accomplish the X6's marginal increase in performance by completely sacrificing all other driving aspects expected in a luxury vehicle ride, SUV or otherwise. Unless you only drive on freshly paved, perfectly smooth road surfaces, you will likely regret buying this vehicle.

I had this car for only a couple of weeks and so far I have been having a great experience. I drove the car on several long trips and have enjoyed every mile of it. The car is agile, tight, yet very comfortable to drive. Even though I have the smaller engine there is enough oomph to pass or just have some fun accelerating. The heads up display shows all the turns when the navigation is used so your eyes are glued to the road. Quite a neat feature. Parking is a breeze when you have the camera set at top view. You can see all 4 corners and the tires before it hits the curb. Overall an excellent build car. Kudos to BMW engineers.

This is most rare car in town or city and I hope keep this way for long time. I am from 325is, 325i, M3, 740il and latest, X6. This is most amazing car ever bought compared to previous cars. Don't think as X5 but PURE 4dr Coupe Sports car! I LOVE the Design and that is all I needed it even though I have to give my wife and 2 children everyday. Still getting used to X6.

We purchased the 2011 X6, loaded with every option available. This is my first BMW, but won't be the last. The car begs to be driven, and is a blast to drive. The turbo V6 has all the power you'll ever need, especially with the 8 speed transmission. The torque is unreal, but there is slight turbo lag from a dead stop rapid acceleration. The interior is classy, refined, and very comfortable on long drives. Around town in every day driving it gets about 17 mpg. On the high way though, on a recent 250 mile trip we averaged about 26 mpg (not bad for a big vehicle and AWD). The premium sound system is a must have, unbelievable sound.

Been a BMW owner since 1996. These cars keep on getting better and better. I have an X5 4.4 V8 and now the owner of an X6 (still kept the X5). In short having the X6 35idrive (diesel), i can honestly say that i do miss the oomph of the v8, though the gas consumption is way better 10.8 L/100 km. It is economically better, and way cheaper gassing up once every 10 days vs 5 days with the V8. So apart from the get and up and get em, v8 power what do i miss. Nothing, great car, great steering, incredibly great seats, incredibly great car. Few around and the owners are proud. Hard to park though, apart from that highly recommended you will get signs of approval from all. It is a modern marvel.
