Too early to start vegetables, but not flowers
Sunday, February 10, 2013
Here it is early February, and many of us are itching to start some seedlings. Well don't. Or at least don't start your tomatoes – they only require 6 to 8 weeks and would be ready to go in the soil by April if you started them now. That's way too early. But if you really want to get your fingers dirty and are willing to baby along plants for 4 months, there are things you can start.
Eventually they started to grow, and when they went outside in full sun and got into the soil they took off like foxes in front of hounds. They grew and bloomed in prodigious quantities. When frost came I dug up big clumps of them and brought them into the house as I couldn't bear to see them succumb to the cold. In the house they finished up their life cycle after Halloween, if memory serves me well.
But most flowers are easier to start than lisianthus. The advantage to starting by seed is simple: a $4 package of seeds will provide dozens, even hundreds of plants. If you want to overwhelm guests at an August event with bushels of blossoms, you can. And many flowers you can start later, right in the ground. Some flowers that are relatively easy to start outdoors by seed include: bachelor buttons, calendula, California poppies, cosmos, marigolds, morning glories, nasturtiums, scarlet runner beans, sunflowers and zinnias.
On the other hand, starting flowers indoors means getting blossoms earlier. Most seed catalogs are primarily interested in selling you the seeds, so they tell you all about a flower's wonderful characteristics or history – but not necessarily much about germination time, or how many weeks from seed to flower. One exception to that is Johnny's Select Seeds (www.johnnyseeds.com or 877-564-6697). They sell to commercial growers and home gardeners and really tell you everything you need to know.
What I like about the Chiltern catalog is that it has species of perennial flowers that I can't find in even a most extensive nursery collection. Now it may be that I do not find Dicentra scandens for sale in New Hampshire or Vermont because it is a perennial that will not grow here. It's a relative of our bleeding hearts but is a yellow (or pink) climber that it comes from the Himalayas - so it just might. My copy of the plant encyclopedia Botanica lists it as hardy to Zone 4 (minus 30) but I went on line and most people selling seed say it is only hardy to Zone 6 (minus 10 degrees). Either way, germination can take months, even a year, so I shall not buy seeds for it.

Hello, Dolly!
One of the biggest musical hits of recent years, Josef E. Köpplinger's staging of "Hello, Dolly!" will be making a welcome return to the Volksoper repertoire.

Red War
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Red War Overview
Red War is one of Uforia's newest games, but unfortunately one of their worst games. Apparently, Red War was designed to mimic the graphical style of Diablo, which is a bit ridiculous, since Diablo is now well over ten years old. It would have made more sense to copy the graphics of a more recent game. PvP fans should find some love in this game, as it has an open PvP system with PK options and several large PvP events that take place daily. Other than some interesting PvP options, Red War just doesn't have nearly as much content as other new MMORPGs. Those looking for a "Diablo-style" action-RPG may enjoy Red War. The game's three classes are:
Warrior - Warriors in Red War are the toughest of the game's three classes. They have access to the best armor and weapons, but have slower attack speeds and less damage output than the other two classes.
Mage - Like in nearly every other MMORPG, Mages are the primary offensive spell-caster in Red War. They start off with two spells and can learn more later on. They have the least hit points in the game, but do the most damage, at least early on.
Ranger - Rangers in Red War are basically warriors with slightly higher attack power, but lower defense capabilities. They also have less hit points than warriors but more than mages. As the name suggests, rangers normally use bows and crossbows.

Red War Featured Video
Red War Full Review
By Omer Altay
Red War: Edem's Curse, often called plain ol' Red War, is a 3D fantasy MMORPG published by Uforia. The game's graphics look a lot like several older MMOs like With Your Destiny and Mu Online. I've actually been keeping an eye on Red War ever since I saw the game's banners announce that the open beta would take place on June 29th. Unfortunately, though, Red War fell well below my expectations.
A Shallow Game
I don't think I've ever started a game review with such a 'negative' title before, but I believe that it's appropriate in this case, as from the moment I logged into Red War, I was met with a lot of disappointment. Red War is a relatively new game [Released mid 2009], but the game has zero character customization, no tutorial and only three playable classes. Come on! Three classes? No customization? What is this? 1998? Both 2008 and 2009 have been an amazing years for free MMORPGs, as numerous 'great' games like Runes of Magic and Atlantica Online were released during this time-frame. Another aspect of Red War that I couldn't stand was the game's graphics. Honestly, I believe Red War: Eden's Curse has some of the worst graphics of any MMORPG. Now, I'm not usually picky when it comes to graphics, as I like both 2D, 3D, cartoony and realistic graphics, but Red War's graphics were simply an eyesore. If the game had been released in, say, 1999 rather than 2009, the graphics would have been 'acceptable'. Terrible for even 1999 standards, but still acceptable. Before anyone shouts at me for criticizing the game too heavily I'd like to point out that All of my critiques were targeted at core gameplay elements rather than small bugs that will likely get fixed in the future. Oh, while we're on the topic of gameplay, let's smoothly transition into the next paragraph!
General Gameplay
I started off my career in Red War as a Mage, one the game's three classes, but I quickly regretted that decision after learning that the only way to learn new skills in the game is through skill books. I had a gut feeling that I'd end up using my level 1 spell for a lot longer than I should, as I seem to have bad luck finding the skill books that I need in games like this. I really wouldn't have any complaints with the game's skill system if the game placed some sort of NPC in town that sold all of the 'newbie' skills; perhaps all of the level 15 and below skills – but that isn't the case here. Players have to grind for countless hours to find the skill books they need. I was actually using my level 1 skill 'fireball' skill up until level 15, as I couldn't find any of the skill books I needed. I Finally found a level 5 skill when I reached level 15 or so, but at that point I 'should have' been using level 10 or 15 skills. One 'good' thing I'd like to mention about Red War is that every character starts out with a set of 'newbie armor' and 1000 'newbie' HP/MP potions. 1000 of each potion may sound like overkill, but these low level potions quickly become obsolete after a few hours of gameplay, as they restore very little hit points after level 5. Starting off with this equipment though makes the early levels of Red War less intimidating than the rest of the game.
Lame Maps
Perhaps I'm just spoiled after listening to the music in Sword of the New World, but the background music in Red War is less than stellar. I really can't complain too much about that, as most MMOs have 'less than stellar' game music. It's unfortunately one of the those things that a lot of developers happen to ignore or commit little effort to. One major gripe that I have with the game is that all of the game's maps are extremely bland. Basically, each map has 3-4 different kinds of 'enemies' on them and enemies appear randomly throughout each map. That's right; monster spawns in Red War are completely random in each map. This basically means that there is absolutely ZERO reason to explore the 'deep' end or corners of a map. The only thing you'll ever bump into even at the deepest corners of a map is the same exact enemies you can easily find at the entrance. It would have made a lot more sense to place the 'easy' monsters at the beginning of the area and the harder ones further away, but it looks like the developers over at Red War prefer to do things their own messy way.
Red War
Perhaps the most interesting and best feature in Red War is the game's PvP arena called the 'Red War'. Makes sense that the game's developers named the game after its best feature. 'Red War' takes place three times a day and is basically a massive PvP event. Anyone level 20 or higher can participate, provided that they have the 200,000 GP entry fee. Upon entering 'Red War', players will temporarily have their character leveled all the way up to 80 and gain access to a great deal of powerful skills. After having a few minutes to prepare your skills and distribute your attribute points, you'll be automatically assigned to one of the event's two teams, where you'll have to basically kill as many other players as possible on the opposing team. Whichever team has the most 'kills' at the end of the match wins the event. It doesn't take long to reach level 20 and the game's PvP can be quite entertaining, especially since everyone at the 'Red War' event is the same level. Winning the 'Red War' event can be extremely rewarding, as the winning team gets the chance to fight a boss monster called 'Chaotic Dragon', which drops great loot. The winning team will also be rewarded 20% bonus experience for a period of time. As I said earlier, this particular PvP event is quite interesting and without a doubt the most enjoyable part of the game in my opinion.
Not enough Content
From my experience with Red War, I can safely conclude that the game has very little content. The game has three classes, each with a total of 15 or so skills. 15 Skills wouldn't be so bad if each skill could be 'improved' on, but that isn't the case here, as skills can't get stronger. Aside from skills, Red War certainly needs more quests, as the game only has a handful. Don't expect more than a few quests per level, as the game just doesn't have any more at the moment. I'd also like to see additional maps, as the game feels way too linear. There's basically ONE map dedicated to players level 1-5, another for players 6-11 and another for 11-20 and so on. Players have a lot more options once they reach level 25 or so, but up until that point the game is extremely linear.
Final Verdict – Poor
I honestly tried to look past many of Red War's faults, but it just wasn't possible. The game feels like it belongs back in 1999 rather than 2009, as everything from the game's graphics to gameplay just cannot compete with newer titles. One positive aspect is that the game will run smoothly on low-end computers

Filipino fighter Manny Pacquiao regained his WBO welterweight world title with a unanimous victory over Timothy Bradley Jr. at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Saturday night.
The fight was Bradley's first loss. "I tried, I really tried," Bradley (31-1, 12 KOs) told USA Today after the fight. "I really wanted that knockout. Manny is a great fighter, one of the best in the world. I tried throwing something over the top. I knew I had to do more in this fight than the last fight."
The fight was a rematch of a controversial 2012 fight in which Bradley won in a split decision. On Saturday, Bradley said he pulled a calf muscle in the first round. The injury left Bradley going for a one-punch knockout, a situation Pacquiao was careful to avoid after having been caught by a knock-out punch in 2012 against Juan Manuel Marquez. Bradley threw more punches than Pacquiao but connected on fewer and was often lunging.
All three judges had it for Pacquiao, 118-110, 116-112 and 116-112, ESPN.com reported.
"He gave me a good fight. He's not that easy," Pacquiao told ESPN.com. "I listened to my corner about keeping my hands up and timing. He threw a lot of punches. He threw wide, wide, wide hooks. I got hit one time and said it's not good to be careless."
Bradley gave Pacquiao credit for the victory.
"I have no excuses," Bradley said. "Stuff happens. I got nothing to say about it. ?You can't say nothing against Manny. I lost to one of the best fighters in the world. Manny fought his heart out. I tip my hat to his whole corner, Freddie Roach and his whole team," he told ESPN.com.
Bradley, 30, earned $6 million plus a share of the pay-per-view profits. Pacquiao, 35, (56-5-2, 38 KOs), was guaranteed $20 million plus upside on the pay-per-view profits, ESPN.com reported.
ESPN.com offered this description of the fight: Pacquiao closed in on Bradley in the sixth round with a flurry that backed Bradley into the ropes. Pacquiao fired about a dozen unanswered punches with Bradley in a corner in the seventh round. The two traded exchanges in the ninth, and by the 10th round, the right side of Bradley's face was red and swollen from taking so many of Pacquiao's left hands. Bradley swung for the fences in the final round but was unable to land much more than an accidental head butt that opened a cut over Pacquiao's left eye.
Pacquiao's next fight could be against the winner of the May 17 title elimination bout between Juan Manuel Marquez and Mike Alvarado. The winner will be Pacquiao's mandatory challenger.

r300g seems rather stable in most situations, so any performance gains are welcomed.
Phoronix: Performance Work Coming Up For Mesa 7.11
While Mesa 7.10 was just released, there's already been some work beginning to land in the mainline Mesa code-base for the ATI Radeon Gallium3D drivers to improve the performance...
r300g seems rather stable in most situations, so any performance gains are welcomed.
Yeah, I wonder how well r300g/c compare to Catalyst 9.3. I know we've had that r600g comparision recently, but the r300 drivers seem much more mature and prolly have seen more optimization as well.
Yeah, if only r300g was any usable on my laptop with an Xpress 200m, instead of displaying fuzzy random horizontal lines...
Personally, I'm much more impressed with the functionality and stability of r300g than I ever was with the Catalyst drivers, even if r300g's 3D performance has not yet been optimised.
There is always room for improvements. ATI were developing their proprietary driver with a huge budget for 8 years I think? We can't surely compete with that, we can only get closer to its speed...
I think Dave Airlie compared performance between r300g and fglrx some time ago and the numbers weren't very good. I can only say that there has been some new optimizations added recently, so it's now probably better than it was.
Linux will likely get swallowed by apple in a couple years who will use python to spy on everybody.
Give us some of that stuff you're smoking, dude.

Temporarily Out Of Stock
Item # FXR000F
Don't get too bummed. This item is on the way and will be available for purchase as soon as it rolls into the warehouse.
Can't wait? Consider one of the other Mountain Helmets we have in stock.
Fox Racing Transition Hard Shell Helmet $0.00
The Transition Hard Shell may look like another skate helmet, but its in-mold technology and EPS foam actually make it closer in relation to Fox Racing's Flux. This means that the Transition is actually lighter than the alternatives, and better suited to mountain biking.
A tough ABS outer and expanded polystyrene core absorb impact and keep your gray matter in the factory case, while 12 vents guide air into and through the Transition for all-day comfort. Fox Racing uses Inset chin straps to anchor the webbing directly into the EPS shell. This improves strength, and further reduces bulk and overall weight.
Fox Racing's Transition Hard Shell Helmet passes CPSC safety standards. It comes in sizes Small through Large and in the colors Charcoal, Fatigue Green, Green, Matte Black, Matte White, and Orange.

Good Value
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Ended up picking up a couple of these helmets for my wife and I after doing some browsing and glad that I did. Not the lightest helmet I've had but comfortable and durable. I wear a 7 1/4 in fitted hats and went with the medium, got the wife a small but not sure on her head size.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I recently purchased this helmet and have been using it for the last few weeks. The helmet is very comfortable and is quite light considering it is a hard shell helmet. The hard shell makes the helmet more resistant to damage from light crashes compared to a helmet with out a hard shell. This is ideal for someone who might use the helmet not only for trail riding but also for hitting dirt jumps. I use this helmet for both jumping and trail riding.
I occasionally wish there was just slightly more vents on the helmet, however I have only wished for these when pedaling uphill on extremely hot days. If you are looking for a cross country helmet you might want to look elsewhere.
My head measures right at 58cm and the large fits well with the thicker pads added. I tried the medium and though it fit it was quite snug. I figured I would rather add padding than wish I had ordered a larger size. Plus the larger helmet size will now allow me to wear a thin beanie on cool weather descents.
Overall I think this helmet has to be one of the best bargains available. The colors are also killer and look even better in person.

Use your head
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
and buy a helmet, this helmet. I ride my city bike around everywhere come summer time and was happy to add this helmet to my cycling attire. I purchased the Green with Yellow writing and absolutely fell in love with the color (I'm kind of a girl like that)
This helmet comes with removable padding Velcro'd into the helmet, and also with a thicker padding you can switch that padding out for.
This helmet runs true to size.

Amherst, NY — In advance of the Winter Holidays, New York State Senator George Maziarz (R-62); Erie County Sheriff Patrick Gallivan, Jim McKenzie, Owner, Wine World; Steve Glamuzina, President, Empire State Liquor Dealers; and Maria Tildon of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility came together to unveil The Foundation's new public awareness campaign designed to prevent underage drinking today at Wine World on Niagara Falls Boulevard. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by America's leading distillers and dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, partnered with these local organizations to unveil the new public awareness campaign designed to prevent underage drinking and discourage attempts to purchase alcohol by minors.
"Key to addressing the problem of underage drinking is having a sense for where youth obtain the alcohol they drink. In a recent survey commissioned by The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, we asked teens, 'Where do you get the alcohol that you drink?' 65% of the youth surveyed said that they got the alcohol they drink from family and friends, meaning they got it from their parents, their friends' parents, older siblings or family members or older friends," said Tildon.
"The good news is that over the past 20 years, the number of underage drinkers has decreased. For example, underage drinking among high school seniors has declined 29% proportionally from 70% in 1982 to 50% in 2001, according to government surveys. Yet, more work needs to be done," said Senator Maziarz.
Sheriff Gallivan added, "We are on the front lines of the battle against underage drinking every day. While it is certainly important to discourage underage sales, I was startled to learn that so many kids get alcohol from friends and family. Yet, survey after survey shows that kids identify their parents, overwhelmingly, as the leading influence in their decision not to drink at all or not to drink on occasion. Parents should be encouraged by this news. It means their kids are listening. Parents retail establishments, community groups, everyone needs to be empowered by this information and continue to talk with their kids about the dangers of underage drinking."
Based on the recent survey data stating that 65% of youth who drink obtain alcohol from their family and friends, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, working with the American Beverage Licensees (ABL), created a new campaign that highlights the point of access to alcohol by underage youth and encourages parents to play a more active role in keeping alcohol out of the hands of our nation's youth. The key component to the campaign is a 30 second Public Service Announcement, buttons and informational cards that provide tips for parents on how to talk with their kids about alcohol that will be distributed at the point of purchase.
"Restaurants, wholesalers, retailers — all of us — need to play a role in the fight against underage drinking to lower, and hopefully eliminate, underage drinking in New York. We want to be a part of that fight, which is why we are here today in support of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's new campaign. We hope parents in the Buffalo area will answer an overwhelming 'Yes!' when asked 'Are you doing your part?'" said Glamuzina.
"Alcohol is accessible to our young people far too often, particularly as we head into the Holiday Season," said McKenzie. "Last year in New York, 1,085 youths under the age of 18 were arrested for liquor law violations. We will be working aggressively in during the back to school season and throughout the entire year to keep alcohol out of our local teens' hands."
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is distributing this public service announcement to television stations in the Buffalo area and has launched the campaign in 9 other markets nationwide. The campaign will continue to be rolled out in cities across the country through 2004.
Working with ABL, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility plans to make the new materials available to all members of the Buffalo beverage alcohol retail community. ABL members across the country will provide informational tip cards to parents on how to have an effective conversation about alcohol with their kids. Members of the organizations can request these materials for their retail outlets, bars and restaurants nationwide.
"On behalf of Colony Distributors, we are pleased that The Foundation is raising awareness about an issue we have known about for a long time. Distributors, retailers, and those of us in the retail community cannot fight underage drinking and underage purchasing alone. We must have the support of all facets of the Buffalo community, and I am very encouraged to see so many members today," said Andretta.
Since The Foundation's inception in 1991, approximately 10 million pieces of point of sale items have been distributed free of charge to retailers and wholesalers nationwide. In fact, The Foundation's point of sale materials have been distributed in all 50 states. Buffalo is the 10th city to launch The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's latest campaign during the 2003 back to school season.

Discussion in 'Red Sox Fan Forum' started by TriplecHamp, Apr 7, 2011.
no hovering
No team that has started off 0-5 has ever won a championship, discuss.
Youkilis couldn't hit the ball off a ******* tee right now.
2nd and 3rd, no outs and they couldn't get a run in, you have to try to be that pathetic.
I'm really ******* tired of seeing Dice-K through 80 pitches by the 4th inning. He'll get up 0-2, and without fail, fall back to 3-2. This experiment with this kid is over, send him packing to the NL where he'll be a solid #2/3.
This team needs to light a god damn fire under their ass right now, no life to them out there at all and I'm really getting pissed.
I'm thankful there's 157 games yet to be played before the playoffs come around. The entire team bar Adrian Gonzalez & Big Papi look horrible.
The CC Express got going for the first time this season tonight. That's pleasing. Trading V-Mart though.. big hmmmm.
They didn't trade V-Mart, he signed for insane money with Detroit. He's not even a full time catcher there because of how horrible he is behind the plate. There was no place for him here.
This will sound weird as a diehard Sox fan, but part of me is finding this start entertaining. For one, I don't think it has any longtime repercussions. Five losses won't kill their season.
But more importantly, I hate the direction this team has gone in. Overspending for talent year after year after year, getting .50 to the dollar to ship that player out once they fail here, or just overpaying for mediocrity. It's really boring.
So to see the team struggle after dramatically overpaying for a guy like Crawford - I actually think it's justified and hopefully a lesson for Theo and the owners. I'm sure it won't be, but one can hope.
I guess these guys just thought all they had to do was to show up and the wins would pile up. WRONG. Get your heads in the damn game.
Today is a must win with Lester, cant go 0-6 into the Yankees series. The way the Yankees are hitting, and the way we arent pitching...it could get ugly.
More importantly, to me, ownership thought all they needed to do was write a couple big checks.
They gotta stop spending money like idiots while overpaying for mediocrity, while letting good Sox players who performed well in this town walk. It's asinine.
What should they have done differently?
The Red sux broke my heart So Many times over a 30 year period i gave up on them. I watched the last game of the 04 World series, and when the ball was thrown to first for the final out i felt....Nothing. In '86 i was ready to jump in my car go down town and honk my horn, but on that night in 2004 i didn't really care. Im sorry but i find it funny how so many peoples lives are wrapped up in the Sux and how they're doing. I'd like to see the losing streak hit ten, Boston would melt down.
The crumble of the Redsox is beautiful.
Right now:
Celtics>>>>>>>>>>>Bruins>>>>>>>>>>Paint dry>>MLB
Seeing Redsox nation get in a hissy fit will be lol.
Who knew the sox could be done by draft day
when does the season start?
kind of weird to hear Pats fans rooting against Sox... and taking about Sox fans being wrapped up in them on a board where there's been active talk about draft day for months? (don't get me wrong -- I love the Pats and am anxious for the draft despite -- just seems a bit like the pot and the kettle )
If the games meant weather the sux won the division or the penet or WS i'd root for them no question. I just wouldn't put invest in them emotionally. As ive gotten older i've found i don't allow myself to get to wrapped up in sports. Especially after the 07 SB loss.
Freudian slip.. by trading I really meant letting go.
And let's face it, the Sox could have afforded to keep him.
Where would you want him playing?
He was a horrid catcher, and Gonzalez is a much better player all around at 1B.
It's aggravating and frustrating for sure ...
I am going to look at this in a positive light ...
This is a beginning of the season learning moment.
Also ... not a solution but I would so much rather be watching Kalish rather than Drew/Cameron.
Just saying ... kid has spunk and that is infectious to the veterans.
If I could get good value I would trade Ellsbury now, move Crawford to center and make room for Kalish. I have been saying trade ellsbury for a few years now ... so I will continue to say it.
Saltalamacchia and Varitek are hardly calling good games and contributing offensively at the moment. We could afford to carry his catching given our current predicament in that position.
I've long thought catcher has the potential to be an achilles heel for this team. Let's hope that doesn't eventuate but through the early stages of this season the small sample has been below average.
I don't know, I seem to recall teams running at will on him. Almost literally. I'm fine giving Saltalamacchia the chance to develop.
The idea that we need a $50mm bat at catcher is getting awfully close to the notion some Yanks fans have of needing an allstar at every position.
As for game-calling, there's no way to tell that from watching 6 games (if at all).
Granted teams running at will on V-Mart was a definite weakness but Tek's physical skills have slowly eroded and I'm rather uncertain on Saltalamacchia, his development and scope for improvement. That leaves us with two catchers who we aren't particularly sure what they're going to do, how they'll call games and their offensive production.
The Red Sox pitching seems destined to slide with Tek's ageing. He could certainly call a game that man!
Separate names with a comma.

I hope Michael checked for every compilation that the right flags were used. Some parts of pts did not care about CFLAGS exports and compiled unoptimized crap on amd platforms.
it would be more interessting compare that hand written asm with gcc generated code. Unless that is done there is no reason to turn off assembly just to create a testcase that is completely detached from reality.
Well, despite if -O2 beats -O3 in some tests or not, -O3 IS the optimization which is supposed to optimize the best so it's obviously the one to use in a benchmark (unless you are benchmarking across all -O levels). As for -O3 being buggy, it's not from my experience nor is it supposed to be anything but stable.
Optimizations that are not considered fully working are introduced as separate flags, not into one of the -O levels. If/when they are considered stable (as in actually improving code and not introducing bugs) they are often added to certain -O levels. Some optimizations like for instance -funroll-loops have been around for ages but are not part of any -O level simply because it's very difficult for the compiler to estimate unrolling and thus there can be great gains aswell as great regressions using this optimization. (Although it's turned on by default if you use PGO in which case the compiler has enough data gathered to guarantee making good judgements).
For the absolute best results though you'd most likely need to run something like Acovea (http://www.coyotegulch.com/products/...o5p4gcc40.html) which omits the -O levels and tests all the flag combinations, but it's not very practical.
I quite like the graphics horizontally, looks good.
But I'd had appreciated a better choice of colors. Something of a similar tint for the GCC stuff and separate tints for the others. I found myself scrolling up/down a couple of times to check which color is which compiler a couple of times.
While it certainly would also be interesting seeing how much better hand optimized assembly does against the code generated by these compilers it's not part of THIS benchmark. So yes, there's every reason to disable hand-optimized assembly here.
What sort of differences do you get with Mame and Handbrake (I guess you mean x264 in this case)?

does anyone know how to enable NVreg_EnablePCIeGen3 ?
I hope this new driver is working better with a real-time kernel.
does anyone know how to enable NVreg_EnablePCIeGen3 ?
...for me the last bunch of releases have been working quite excellently. I still occasionally run into the odd minor issue, like this:
but it doesn't crash my system, nor cause any noticable issues. (that was from last 313.09 driver ~ i haven't had anything show up with 313.18 yet.) I believe it is vdpau + flash in my browser that causes this and i did collect info for nvidia on the matter / reported it. but that was several releases back and i still see this ( unless this release changes that - but probably not )Code:[ 8427.367670] Pid: 1401, comm: irq/42-nvidia Tainted: P W O 3.6.11-rt25-1-rt #1 [ 8427.367671] Call Trace: [ 8427.367678] [<ffffffff8146fa34>] __schedule_bug+0x4d/0x59 [ 8427.367680] [<ffffffff81476410>] __schedule+0x8d0/0x9f0 [ 8427.367683] [<ffffffff81078ce6>] ? __task_rq_unlock+0x16/0x50 [ 8427.367685] [<ffffffff8107acef>] ? rt_mutex_setprio+0x10f/0x2a0 [ 8427.367686] [<ffffffff81478090>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x20/0x60 [ 8427.367689] [<ffffffff8109bbb5>] ? task_blocks_on_rt_mutex+0x1f5/0x250 [ 8427.367690] [<ffffffff814765e9>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [ 8427.367691] [<ffffffff81477697>] rt_spin_lock_slowlock+0x15f/0x278 [ 8427.367791] [<ffffffffa03518eb>] ? _nv011768rm+0x9/0xb [nvidia] [ 8427.367792] [<ffffffff81477d56>] rt_spin_lock+0x26/0x30 [ 8427.367793] [<ffffffff8107a906>] __wake_up+0x36/0x70 [ 8427.367831] [<ffffffffa07f4b08>] nv_post_event+0x108/0x160 [nvidia] [ 8427.367869] [<ffffffffa07cfe89>] _nv011912rm+0xf2/0x149 [nvidia] [ 8427.367935] [<ffffffffa0535a98>] ? _nv004839rm+0xc6/0xef [nvidia] [ 8427.368001] [<ffffffffa0535d72>] ? _nv011159rm+0xdf/0xf8 [nvidia] [ 8427.368066] [<ffffffffa0535cf2>] ? _nv011159rm+0x5f/0xf8 [nvidia] [ 8427.368138] [<ffffffffa065a349>] ? _nv008849rm+0xad1/0xce8 [nvidia] [ 8427.368209] [<ffffffffa065a361>] ? _nv008849rm+0xae9/0xce8 [nvidia] [ 8427.368265] [<ffffffffa06cb128>] ? _nv010663rm+0x482/0x684 [nvidia] [ 8427.368321] [<ffffffffa06c98ec>] ? _nv000979rm+0x25c/0x2ef [nvidia] [ 8427.368376] [<ffffffffa06c9cd0>] ? _nv010680rm+0x46/0x1a9 [nvidia] [ 8427.368419] [<ffffffffa03518eb>] ? _nv011768rm+0x9/0xb [nvidia] [ 8427.368474] [<ffffffffa06d0a45>] ? _nv010660rm+0x65/0x8f [nvidia] [ 8427.368510] [<ffffffffa07d2170>] ? _nv000789rm+0x123/0x18d [nvidia] [ 8427.368547] [<ffffffffa07d67d3>] ? rm_isr_bh+0x23/0x73 [nvidia] [ 8427.368586] [<ffffffffa07f2a14>] ? nv_kern_isr_bh+0x44/0x70 [nvidia] [ 8427.368588] [<ffffffff8104cc41>] ? __tasklet_action.isra.10+0x71/0x150 [ 8427.368589] [<ffffffff8104ce15>] ? tasklet_action+0x85/0xa0 [ 8427.368591] [<ffffffff8104bf93>] ? do_current_softirqs+0x1c3/0x360 [ 8427.368593] [<ffffffff810c1fc0>] ? irq_thread_fn+0x50/0x50 [ 8427.368594] [<ffffffff8104c486>] ? local_bh_enable+0x66/0x80 [ 8427.368595] [<ffffffff810c2009>] ? irq_forced_thread_fn+0x49/0x70 [ 8427.368596] [<ffffffff810c1d37>] ? irq_thread+0x127/0x1b0 [ 8427.368597] [<ffffffff810c1eb0>] ? irq_finalize_oneshot+0xf0/0xf0 [ 8427.368598] [<ffffffff810c1c10>] ? wake_threads_waitq+0x50/0x50 [ 8427.368600] [<ffffffff81068953>] ? kthread+0x93/0xa0 [ 8427.368601] [<ffffffff81075d46>] ? finish_task_switch+0x56/0xd0 [ 8427.368603] [<ffffffff81480904>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 8427.368605] [<ffffffff810688c0>] ? __init_kthread_worker+0x60/0x60 [ 8427.368606] [<ffffffff81480900>] ? gs_change+0x13/0x13

Any game in his/her right mind has a PS3/Xbox360 and not a gaming PC running Linux!
NVidia is not the flawless Linux supporter as you people claim NVidia was. There are many problems under Linux and with a FOSS driver at least people can use their GPUs almost forever and not be subject to some exec who decides that old GPUs are no longer supported.
People come into these nvidia threads to get information about the Nvidia driver and possibly get help / ask the odd question.
While i find your passion admirable, it would seem to me, your time could be better spent doing something else (ie: trolling / derailing an Nvidia thread, doesn't help your cause - it's just annoying).
I didn't even see that comment. just one or two of awesomeness' other comments - plus this last one, which is just stupid, going on about people's use of 'ur' instead of 'your' - i mean WTF? lol.
anyway, hopefully this nvidia thread doesn't turn into yet another "nvidia sucks" thread / or someone preaching "you should be using a FOSS driver"...
So did any one notice any performance gain or major bugs? I have not decided to download and install it as my old driver "310.19" is working awesome.
Enough with the tribal mentality of my team a is better than your team b!!
In my case, i have been steadily updating on every (beta) release. In my opinion the 313.xx series is probably better, but at the same time, i haven't noticed huge performance gains either (aside from compiz - which did have a performance gain because the changes in compiz to use some newer nvidia changes). by the same token, i have not seen any regressions either.
I'd say give it a try!
Problem with working out of the box is that the radeon drivers have ass performance.

Latest Breaking News
E3 2014, This Happened...
First of all, long time no see! I haven't been great about updating Zelda Sages the past few months, but I hope to change that. With graduate school and a full-time job, my life just hasn't had a lot of free-time. With that said, we have some great news for you today!
As many of you likely already know, E3 2014 will, yet again, be an E3 without a live Nintendo press event. We'll again be treated to a Nintendo Direct, but with a twist. Nintendo has announced a large Smash Brothers tournament that will take place at Best Buy locations throughout the United States during the event. The E3 broadcast is also being billed as a "Digital Event" that leads me to think there may be more than just the Smash Brothers event alongside a number of game announcements.
There's also...this video. Click the read more link to see what I'm talking about...
Zelda WiiU Bundle is Here
It's new, it's shiny, it's available September 20th! Nintendo today announced the release of the WiiU Zelda Edition featuring two limited edition controllers, a free copy of Wind Waker HD, and more all for the price of about $300.00. You may be wondering how Wind Waker HD can be included in the set given its official release date of October. Nintendo is sweetening the deal by offer the game for free download to all those that purchase the bundle, two weeks prior to the official release date. There's more to this bundle than meets the eye.
We Promise, We're Fixed!
As many of you likely noticed the last day, we've had a few database issues. Don't worry, it was our (ok, rather my) doing! In response to an attack on the server zeldasages is hosted on, I took the opportunity to change all the backend passwords (database passwords, etc). Unfortunately, I neglected to update the connection files which allow our CMS software to connect to our database. Hence, we had a lot of failed connection errors. Don't worry, it only took until the 278th connection error email for me to figure out what the problem was.
Very sorry for the inconvenience! It happens to the best of us :).
New Legend of Zelda for 3DS
Today's Nintendo Direct revealed a number of new insights into the future of the Nintendo 3DS and its games, but most notably for us Reggie announced a new, original, Legend of Zelda game to be released for the Nintendo 3DS this holiday season! Are we excited, you bet we are.
Luigi is Back on 3DS
For those of you who have been living under a rock for the last few years, Luigi is back in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon which was released only a few days ago to retail and the Nintendo E-Shop. With the amount of work I've had recently, I have not had the ability to really get in-depth, but from what I have seen thus far the game is a lot of fun. Dark Moon builds on the concepts that made the first Luigi's Mansion so enjoyable, while improving in lackluster areas (such as control). It is not our policy to write reviews for non-Zelda games, but I have included IGN's review below. What are your thoughts on Dark Moon?
Oracle of Ages and Seasons to be released before Summer?
The two classic Game Boy games may hit the state-side Virtual Console before the summer.
Housekeeping and New Affiliate
First, before I get into additional announcement material, I'm proud to announce our newest affiliate "Want Midna Back". Want Midna Back is a great site campaigning to see Midna, in some form or another, in the release of future Nintendo games, specifically The Legend of Zelda. They have a lot of great content, and are certainly worth your time.
Now, onto a few housekeeping matters. First, thank you all for your patience during the odd series of bugs we've had recently. We recently upgraded our content management system, and it appears that there were a few error we did not catch before going live again. Thank you for your patience, and as always if you find something that looks wrong or a website feature is not working as expected, please alert us via the technical issues area of the forums. In addition to all this, rest assured that a lot more content for Skyward Sword will be coming in the next few weeks. We are still working on a few elements of our new design, and once those are implemented we can better share our content with you. Thank you all again for your patience.
Also we know there are a lot of lurkers out there, and you should all sign up for a Zelda Sages account. This will allow you to download special content, submit fan art and stories, and participate in our community forums.

Welcome to Active Data. Our mission is simple – to cure chronic calendar pain. Many people don't realize they have it. We think it's one of the biggest obstacles in the workplace leading to frustration, wasted time, and mistakes. Who has time for that?
Online calendars (or HTML calendars) are essential to keeping us connected to events and meetings. Today we are a "plugged-in" society. However, while many different productivity applications sync seamlessly across our desktop and mobile devices, calendaring has been limited.

Nice but comes big I really love the watch but just comes big. great item as. Gift! December 25, 2014
Horrible quality I bought this watch for my boyfriend, but right after I read the reviews, and he experienced the same problems. After just TWO weeks of wearing it, it had condensation within the face of the watch, the metal clasp was scratched up and the watch stopped working for no reason! He works at a desk, he went no where near water or anything to damage it. Save your money and buy somewhere else. September 10, 2014
Great gift for a guy! My sister and I gave this watch to my brother and he really likes it! It's classy and functional. Adjustable to his wrist. Great quality for the price too! October 10, 2013
Not good Wore it for work, which includes sitting at a desk and flying domestically. Never met a drop of water, yet this watch developed condensation behind the lense after the very first flight i was on. Thinking it was a fluke, I returned it to the store and exchanged it for a new one. I was hopeful that it was a fluke, but once again after another flight, the lens was covered internally with condensation. I have not had this happen to any of my other watches, some costing much less than this piece. It's a shame that Express would release this at this price point. I've since returned the second watch and turned it into a bunch of clothes so it's worked out well in the end...however, I still wish I had the look of this watch without the quality issue. October 6, 2013
nice one beautiful watch I like the mix of silver and black case April 29, 2013

Animal life and survival is an ever growing concern in the animal kingdom, not only domestic animals but for wild animals as well. We will regularly have new animals for you to discover and to find out how different animals survive in their natural habitats. So keep visiting and watching out for:
The Bengal tiger inhabits in grasslands, subtropical and tropical rainforests (mostly Asian rainforests), scrub forests, wet and dry deciduous forests and mangroves. The Bengal tiger is the national animal of India and Bangladesh.
Bengal tigers sometimes prey on smaller animals like hares, monkeys or peacocks and carrion (the carcass of a dead animal). Bengal tigers have also been known to prey on young Asian Elephants and rhino calves in rare cases.

Did you know this about animals?
Animals populate every part of the Earth and can be found in a vast amount of various shapes, sizes and colours. The animal kingdom contains around 10 million different species that live on land, sky or in the ocean.
Animals are multicellular organisms which means they are made up of more than one cell. Some animals can be tiny and only contain a few cells and some can be gigantic and contain many millions of cells.
The largest animal in the world is the Blue Whale (the largest land animal is the African Bush Elephant). The smallest animal in the world is also the smallest insect in the world. This is the Megaphragma caribea also known as the "Fairyfly". This tiny creature is a parasitic wasp that lives on the island of Guadalope. It feeds on the eggs of other insects. They only measure around 0.10 - 0.17 millimetres in length.
The smallest living creature is an amoeba which is a single cell organism (unicellular). Although amoebas are not actually animals at all but are in the kingdom protozoa or in the "supergroup" Amoebozoa.
Animals are eukaryotes which means that their cells have a nucleus which contains genetic material. Such cells are known as eukaryotic cells. Animals are also referred to as heterotrophs in which they obtain their energy by taking in carbon based compounds from other organisms.
Browse through the magnificent animal kingdom and discover the amazing world of creatures that live on our planet. This animal collection can be used by students and teachers or anyone wishing to learn about animals and their environments.

What distro do you use?
Good driver.
TF2 is not experiencing FPS drops on my HD 6470M. Completely playable now.
Can we use this driver for an hd7730m card?
It is an "embedded driver", then it should not be for desktop/mobile cards, but above I see some comments of people using this driver...
If I want a stable driver for my new laptop that has an intel cpu and an hd7730m card, should I take catalyst 12.10, 12.11 beta or 12.12 ?
It's surprising then that AMD didn't put these drivers in the legacy folder.
If they are the better ones, I will take 12.12.
Legacy would imply support for HD 2xxx - HD 4xxx or older... don't think these drivers go back that far.
