The major player in my universe is a Germanic Empire based on the Holy Roman Empire (during the 2nd crusade), Renaissance France, and early pre-industrial Prussia/Germany.
I've taken your advice and tried to tighten it up as much as possible, and I was able to get it under a 100 words, but I still feel like something is missing.
Tension between the representatives of the gods and men has reached crisis point. Kaizer Frederik III has put forth an ultimatum to the Orders: return all lands and wealth to its rightful owner, his Deutz Empire, or face the consequences.
The ancient Order of Alleman, answerable only to the god of wisdom, has ignored the Kaizers command and awaits his response. Far removed from politics, Godhart, a templar of Alleman, awaits the arrival of a small child. Bound by an oath to the alien Soldii, refugees from red moon, he prepares to escort the child to Sanctuary.

Okay, so a few more thoughts. In your post you've explained something useful to ME, but not in the blurb. If you aren't doing a literal alternate history the below doesn't work, but you should have something like:

1517; Martin Luther nails his 95 theses, demanding reform of the Catholic Church, to the door of the cathedral church in Wittenberg, setting off the period of upheaval, war, civil war and violence we now know as the Reformation.
In this age devastated by the wars of religion, a young theology student adopts the cause of the heretics and the disinherited. Across the chessboard of Europe, from the German plains to the flourishing Dutch cities and down to Venice, the gateway to the East, our hero, a "Survivor", a radical Protestant Anabaptist who goes under many names, and his enemy, Q, a Papal informer and heretic-hunter, play a game in which no moves are forbidden and the true size of the stakes remain hidden to the end. What begins as a struggle to reveal each other's identities eventually becomes part of a much greater mission: to destroy and achieve domination over each other.

I like the pace, I like the writing style. Feels good. Perhaps a little more detail to fleshing out the characters and feelings is needed, to convey their experiences more sharply.
All in all, I like your style, and if you want exposure, I can post a guest chapter on my website, if you're interested.

I HATE the new look. Just putting it out there. Anyway to change it to the old look?
I thought about what you said in your post Noumenon and tried a different strategy. Unfortunately each iteration, to me anyway, seems worse than the last.
In Altstadt, the capital of the Deuts Empire, Godhart, a templar of Order of Alleman, awaits the arrival of a child. Bound by an ancient oath, he prepares to escort the child to Sanctuary, a prison for her kind, but some consider the child too dangerous to live. Surrounded by dark conspiracies, Godhart fights to protect the honour of his Order and the life of a child.
Imprisoned by the Imperial army, Malik, an Eranshar sorceress, looks for a means of escape. Afflicted with a past she would rather forget she discovers a child cursed with an old magic, a magic some would kill for.
In the shadows Ravius waits for his next target. As an assassin for the most powerful family of the western continents killing is just job, but when his nephew, the heir to the Argentai family, falls prey to a plot to remove him from the line of succession, Ravius is sent to find and protect him.
The fate of three children weave together to create a tale of mystery, intrigue, and adventure.

Getting Server Errors so I'll just double post.
Updated/Alternate Version
Set on Erd, a medieval world orbited by two moons, Malediction centres around three children caught up in politics, intrigue, and a cultural revolution.
Under a secret mandate by Kaizer Frederik III, Malik, a war prisoner, is ordered to find an ancient artifact with her captor Adrian Lichten, a knight of the Empire, but finds herself confronting her past when she discovers the artifact in possession of a child.
Bound by an ancient oath to the Soldii Dominion, Godhart, templar of the Alleman Order, receives a child from Legate Helkor, ambassador of the Dominion, and is tasked with escorting a child north to Sanctuary, a place for her kind.
In the shadows Ravius waits for his next target. As an assassin for the most powerful family of the western continents killing is just job, but when his nephew, the heir to the Argentai family, is targeted by his nemesis, Anulel, in a plot to remove him from the line of succession, he is sent to find and protect him.

I humbly suggest you are trying too hard to tell everything. We don't want or need to know all the details (or even most of the details).
Repetition is the ultimate enemy. Repeat phrases must be hunted down and KILLED WITH FIRE! Look over both your last posts and see, for instance, how many times 'a child' crops up. Then, tell us who the actual hero(es) of the story is/are. Are they the children? Or do the three grown-ups mentioned, just by coincidence, happen to receive tasks involving kids? Is this a YA story? I have to say, after reading your synopsis on this thread, I'm none the wiser to what your book is really about.

Another attempt. See what you think.
Abomination, freak, monster, the only name 12-year old Lynian yearns to hear is her own. Shipped off to a foreign Empire for 'safekeeping', she struggles against her cruel fate, but not everyone is willing to let her live out her life in peace.
14-year old Hensel dreams of becoming a scribe, but his quiet monastic life is about to come to an end, literally. Caught up in a cultural revolution, he finds himself alone in the world with no family, no friends, and no hope.
The only thing 13-year old Felix hates more than his title is his father. Heir to a powerful family, expectations and duty come first, but in the shadows jealous rivals scheme and assassins sharpen their blades.
In this coming-of-age fantasy, the line between heroes and villains blur as the fate of three cursed children weaves together in a tale of adventure and intrigue. Punchy adjective, punchy adjective, punchy adjective, punchy adjective phrase, Malediction is awesome buy it!

Too many age referencess, three X-years-old mentioned, feels tedious.
And you atuomatically exclude anyone above a certain age, say 17-18, who would not want to read about children.

Fell and Fair
27. 121 Fourth Age
121 Fourth Age
Down and through, under and across, up and over. Fine, neat stitches marching an orderly row.
Like suturing the cheek of the Dúnedain maiden who tried to quell her toddler brother's exuberant assault on imagined Orcs — after he had pilfered a knife from his father's boot.
The long seams closed at last, I bid Elladan come to kiss our Evenstar one final time, before I forever veil her pallid face in the ashen wool... spun, woven, and now sewn anew with hands of love.
For what better shroud to wrap the granddaughter of Galadriel than her grey cloak of Lórien?
Push straight down, lever upwards, toss aside. The shadow of Amroth's mallorn, muted by lowering clouds, creeps past while I toil.
When done, Elrohir passes our beloved sister's frail shell down into my aching arms. I lay her out tenderly, and — with a last, regretful caress — grasp his outstretched hand to climb out.
We replace the soil rapidly and array cut turves on top, hoping the impending rain will revive the wilted clumps of pale moon-bells — her favorites! — and bright sun-stars adorning her green grave.
For three full days do we stand vigil, shoulders touching, under the weeping Lórien sky.

Two killed in Alton head-on crash: Man,woman pronounced dead at scene, as well as two dogs in car
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
ALTON — A man and a woman were killed in a two-vehicle head-on crash on Route 28 at approximately 5:05 p.m. Tuesday.
Heath said reckless driving doesn't appear to be a factor in the collision, which occurred near the middle of the highway.
He said the Belknap County Technical Accident Reconstruction team will use a GPS unit to diagram the scene and pinpoint the exact location of the collision.
A medical examiner was on scene Tuesday evening to examine the drivers and pronounce them deceased. Heath said an autopsy has been scheduled for this morning. As standard procedure for autopsies, a toxicology report will be made, but Heath said Tuesday it doesn't appear alcohol or drugs were factors in the accident.
Heath said so far, there is no clear cause to the accident, and there were few eyewitnesses to the crash, despite Route 28 being busy with traffic around 5 p.m. Tuesday.
According to Heath, while there were other vehicles in the area when the accident occurred, most drivers were paying attention to their own driving, and did not see an indication that a head-on collision was about to occur.
The road leading up to the crash site was closed for approximately a mile and a half in each direction until after 9 p.m.
Police are expected to release the names of those killed in the crash later today.

The general and most visible new stuff in 4.1 as i can see without the official changelog is that you have a new option, under the "Video" configuration menu.
It's a switch for turning on and off Auto-exposure for the webcams.
Now if only there was somebody to fix those damn crappy linux UVC to support switching off the auto-exposure on every UVC, will be good !
As always in linux... Something is wrong and doesn't work...
But hey - It's free... Haha ( me being sarcastic)
will the 32bit opensuse rpm work on a 64 bit opensuse install?
Me personally, who doesn't even use ubuntu on his desktop (I do actually have it on my laptop) don't even mind or care. It's fine this way. The only thing they could do, is offer a generic tar.bz2 (behind a not easily find advanced function) so that distro's can pull that in when building packages.
Linux = Linux. If it works on ubuntu, 99% chance it works on any distro you want.
Now on topic:
Where are some screenshots? I don't want to install this dog pile of crap, but at would be curious as to what has changed.
_Still_ no 64bit rpm...
Why the heck does it have a dependency on systemd???!!
it's the future of the big rpm based distro's..............?
Steam is a bit tricky with a generic package because it pulls missing libs for certain games and therefore has to speak to the package manager. It's probably not easy to make this generic. Right now it is tailored to apt and Ubuntus Repos.
BTW: On Arch the update breaks something:
Code:/usr/lib32/skype/skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtWebKit.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

DenMat announces the arrival of LumiSmile™ White
Posted on March 24, 2014
The maker of Lumineers® launches an entirely new brand of professional take-home whitening that promises premium whitening without the premium price.
LOMPOC, Calif. (March 5, 2014)—DenMat, a leading manufacturer of innovative esthetic dentistry and advanced oral health solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of LumiSmile White, an entirely new line of professional take-home whitening that delivers strong results with minimal sensitivity at an affordable price to the dentist.
DenMat has a long history of innovation in Whitening. From the launch of the original Rembrandt Whitening in 1986 through LumiBrite Chairside and Take Home Whitening, DenMat has always been at the forefront of safe, effective teeth whitening.
To develop LumiSmile White, DenMat sourced some of the world's foremost authorities in teeth whitening to optimize its formulations. This top tier group worked closely with leaders in the industry to create some of the best formulations on the market today. LumiSmile White is available in 32%, 22% and 16% Carbamide Peroxide concentrations, and features reduced sensitivity, real peppermint oil flavoring and 18-months of shelf life without refrigeration. Additionally, DenMat is offering LumiSmile White at up to 33% less cost than leading competitors such as Philips NiteWhite and DayWhite.
"There is a strong correlation between whitening of teeth and additional esthetic dental work. Those chipped anteriors become additional case work when the teeth are an improved shade. DenMat is proud of our new LumiSmile White formulation and believe our end user patients will smile more after using it." said Brenton Lively, Senior Product Manager for DenMat.
Sensitivity during and after whitening was a big patient concern in preliminary research. DenMat's team tackled this issue with vigor, ultimately replacing some of the glycerin in the initial test formulas with propylene glycol. This modification was designed to minimize dehydration of the teeth and improve patient comfort. To this end, DenMat also added more H20 and potassium nitrate to further improve patient comfort with LumiSmile White.
In DenMat's pre-market evaluations, LumiSmile White finished with a higher overall rating than the leading competition. Evaluators liked the new flavoring, which uses real peppermint oil, and preferred LumiSmile White's handling characteristics, efficacy and low sensitivity.
For more information, please contact Andrea Awe, Associate Product Manager, at 800-346-3700 ext. 2720, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

No Philip K. Dick?!
Honestly I don't care for PKD. I have read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and Ubik. DADoES was one of the few books where the movie was actually better than the book. The book seemed more like an outline than an actual completed work.
Ubik was more fleshed out, but was very dated, and more psychedelic than I was. Perhaps a few decades earlier I would have matched terminal velocity with the book, but not now.
I know PKD influenced a lot of the writers I like, and their styles, but I just don't enjoy him directly.
I tend to prefer meaty stories with depth to them regarding characters both externally and internally. I am not real fond of Asimov, or Clarke or PKD, or others who are what I call writers with a spare style.

What did you like about Salt, FicusFan?
I am considering buying it would like an opinion.
What I liked was that the story is told by two main characters for most of the book. They alternate chapters and they are both 'unreliable narrators'. Which means that you can't trust or believe what they say, the way you can in a normal book. The reason is that each tells a part of the story from his own POV and often it is the same incident, and both can't be right ! Sometimes they lie to you, and sometimes they lie to themselves too. As the reader or the neutral party you can see where they went wrong, but you can also sometimes see the rightness of each side as well.
It makes you think about perception and reality, and how much your agenda is loaded into what you see as the truth. It also deal with preconcieved notions and prejudice and how they destroy any attempt at communication.
The story is about this group of religious (very little actual religion is in the story) pilgrims who are going to colonize a far-away planet. There are 5 or 6 space ships that are hooked onto a comet to power them along. They sleep for most of the journey. The captain of the most rigid and heriarchical ship is one narrator. The other narrator is the Engineer who can operate the comet hook, he is on a space ship of anarchists. They lied about having a religious orientation to get into the fleet. They completely reject any form of government.
The conflict is that the planet which from afar seemed fine, is really made of Salt, and so air and water and arable land are a problem. Because of their totally opposite viewpoints they are unable to cooperate. The personal interaction between the two crews during the flight also lead to disasterous consequences.
The Rigid society builds a cult of personality, and the anarchists act only for the individual.
It is a story of extremes. There are parts that show each leader and lifestyle in both good and bad lights, so you can't really just pick the one you feel is right or that you like the most.
It was a very thought provoking and interesting book. It made me think about it long after I finished it. I was also reading it during the height of the Isrealli/Palestinian crises and it seemed in many ways to mirror their conflict - thought the details are not exactly the same.
It is Adam Roberts best book so far. He has written Salt, On, Stone which I have read. Jupiter Magnified a novella, and Polystom his latest novel, which I have, but have not yet read.
Your id doesn't say where you are, so I don't know if you will have to pay more for the book (US) or not. You might want to test read before taking it home, if you can. Good luck and enjoy.

Yet, the book was good enough to finish. I would say it is a worthwhile book to read.

This is what I didn't like about Salt. It seemed absurd that two completely polar opposite groups would be placed on the same planet. It also seemed so rigid in its approach that it was unrealistic. In an all out war, even anarchists work together, but not in Salt.
Yet, the book was good enough to finish. I would say it is a worthwhile book to read.
But you do raise a point that has always bothered me. AR never explains why these groups are going out to colonize - is it a religious duty, or a bid for a better life, fleeing from a dying earth.
It was rigid, and extreme, but ideologies in conflict are often that way. Try to get the Gang of Four in DC to see the merits of Iran, or Syria or some other Axis of Evil country.
In terms of working together during war, I would suggest that many of those who lose do so because they are unable to present a united front to the enemy. Divide and Conquer is an age old practice, and for the other side a danger. Just look at the conflicts in Africa, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia -- all places where we think they are the same and should unite, and yet they will not.

Alan Dean Foster
I finished The Service of the Sword: Worlds of Honor 4 by David Weber. It's the fourth World of Honor series and pretty good reading. I recommend it (and the series) to anyone that likes Weber and hasn't read it.
Any Alan Dean Foster readers here? I'm thinking about reading Diuturnity's Dawn. Thumbs up?

I don't know that book, but the Spellsinger series was excellent ! It's magical fantasy stuff, and really well done. A sanitation engineer gets brought to another world of talking animals, where he can do magic by singing. It should be awful, but Foster gets away with it with his sense of self-irony. What's the standard civic role of skunks ? Riot control, duh !
The series degrades over time (what series doesn't), but I really enjoyed the first 2-3.

Can't add too much more to the list of good choices above, but one author worth checking out is John Sladek (Roderick at Random, Roderick and Tik-Tok).
Now sadly deceased, he stands as one of the funniest SF writers I have ever read.
Cordwainer Smiths Norstrilia, as well his other Instrumentality short stories (who could forget the grisly A Planet Named Shayol?).
Greg Benfords Timescape
Any Stanislaw Lem novel really (I guess Solaris is the starting point).
September 5th, 2003, 06:24 PM #44
I will add a few recent books to my list:
Ilium by Dan Simmons
The Golden Age by John Wright
I will also say that I have read Sladek's Tik-Tok, and enjoyed it. I found the social satire a bit dated though and so not as funny as I was expecting.

Phoronix: Native Port Of Dear Esther Now Available
The native port of Dear Esther, a unique game powered by the Source Engine, is now available to Linux gamers...
Last edited by gbudny; 06-12-2013 at 12:50 PM.
Does it work for anyone with intel?
I didn't find a way to find out what the numbers stand for with google (but I didn't look very long). Does it try to create a compatibility context?Code:X Error of failed request: GLXBadFBConfig Major opcode of failed request: 153 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 34 () Serial number of failed request: 176 Current serial number in output stream: 175
Dear Esther is not a game. Seriously, who cares about this port? What does it bring the Linux users?
However, I do look forward "Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs" made by the very same studio at Frictional Games request.
umm not on Steam yet
Seriously, people shouldn't spend the money on games ported by Transgaming or CodeWeavers to Linux/Mac OS X, because these companies they always created trash instead a great games for alternative operating systems.

Phoronix: ADWC: A Tiling Window Manager For Wayland
There's now the first tiling manager for Wayland. Called ADWC, this open-source tiling manager can already start applications using XWayland. There's some videos showing off this Weston fork, including the Opera web-browser and KDE's KWrite running on Wayland...
Very nice make sure it mimics notion (ion3) behaviour, hard to beat wm.
Nice seeing Wayland targeted projects turning up in the wild already, both a testament to it attracting interest and that it's maturing very quickly.
I don't think 0.85 has officially been called stable / beta / alpha / etc. anywhere, but it's pretty stable.

and the Makefile contained in this tarball.
It would be much more convenient if it supported a --only-udev build, but my understanding from the LFS developers was that a) upstream weren't interested, and b) this standalone Makefile was actually easier than patching the systemd build files. Certainly, udev is one of those packages that doesn't benefit much from using an autotools build, since it's not intended to be portable, nor does it have a set of complex dependencies to check for.
Most importantly at all, those design principles are something you're supposed to think about, not just follow automatically without appreciation of what you're gaining (and losing) by doing so.
Or, if you run Linux on an embedded board that is controlled through a serial port, you can be fine with mdev.
But in reality, if what you use is the plain desktop Linux, then you need udev and libudev even for basic tasks such as starting the X server.
It gets updated when drivers get merged into / updated / removed from the kernel and this reflects into udev rules. Also libudev changes frequently and userspace needs the new APIs.It is not true that "udev is constantly changing together with the kernel".
Great news! Then certainly before long all those non-systemd developers that contribute to systemd-udev, and decide and shape its future, will give us a Makefile target for us to build and install udev separately from systemd. I'm looking forward to that moment, I hope it won't take long!The concern is understandable. However, you should by now have been told repeatedly that 1) non-systemd support for udev will continue as long as non-systemd uses exist (and they do, Martin Pitt of Canonical/Ubuntu fame has commit access to systemd-ubev for crying out load)
And yet currently it's the only alternative I'd have should udev be integrated into systemd when everybody "sees the light" (besides switching to Android or BusyBox as you've suggested above). So I hope they'll fix the problems they have; I'm certain that systemd-udev developers will help them and encourage them, in the spirit of open source collaboration.if ever udev becomes dependent on systemd creating a fork would be trivial (don't look to eudev as an example, what they are doing is crazy and creating a lot more trouble/bugs/work for themselves than necessary).
I never said that it does not work without systemd. I said that it does not build without systemd, which is a rather big change, while they said there would be no change, and that it changed the way it works in a way that broke my system, for example by changing the name and position of the main udev binary.That's news to me. Udev works just fine without systemd. We supported that for some time in Arch Linux without problems and we still support udev without systemd in our initramfs.
Are there such switches? The last version I've built, 191, didn't have them, so I had to build the whole systemd and then guess what files I had to take out from it. I'm happy to know that now they're in place, I'll download and install 197 as soon as I have time.You do not have to build all of systemd to build udev. With the correct packaging script building only the necessary is trivial. That said, the simplest approach is probably to just flip the right ./configure switches to avoid building almost all of systemd.
Python was hardcoded in the makefiles the last time I built udev. I know because I was cross-compiling it, like I had always done when udev was a standalone package, and could no longer do it because of Python. Again, I'm happy to know that this changed, it will save me a lot of time.If by 'many' you mean 'two', then you are correct: libcap and dbus. python (and everything else) is an optional dependency, which you would obviously disable in your setting.
I'm no distribution maintainer. It takes me a lot more than 5 minutes to study, dissect and rebuild a package that is essential to boot and keep my system running, and repeat this operation every time a new systemd release is out. If such a patch would be "extremely trivial", then why a patch that does exactly this was never accepted upstream?It was just a matter of deleting some stuff and moving some stuff, I don't see what the fuss is about. If you prefer to have patch against the Makefile to make this even more trivial, that would be an obvious thing for your distro to carry if they don't wish to use systemd. The patch would be extremely trivial... Only reason I never wrote this (would take 5 minutes) is that my distro uses systemd so there is no point.
You're actually confirming my concerns. Especially with the last sentence, where you go as far as delineating a difference between light and dark.You are misreading this statement, and it has been explained repeatedly. They (we) are looking forward to the day when there is no longer a need for non-systemd udev. Meaning the day that everyone has seen the light and switched to systemd.
When I said that people are planning "to stop supporting udev without systemd in a somewhat unspecified future", you told me that it was "a gross misrepresentation, and absolutely not true". But to me "as soon as Ubuntu starts shipping systemd by default" is the same as "in a somewhat unspecified future", because I don't work at Ubuntu and have completely no idea about their future plans.As long as Debian/Ubuntu are not using systemd by default you have nothing to worry about.
I see systemd's trajectory something along the lines of udev's: it started out as something people 'would never allow on their systems', before it slowly became a de-facto standard to the point that most clients (e.g. X, or various init systems) now no longer care about the non-udev usecase. Once systemd has reached this same status, I suppose it would become relevant to discuss whether or not udev should also drop the non-systemd usecase. I believe this has more to do with what the ecosystem userspace apps does (when they start hard-depending on systemd) and less to do with what default init-systems distros use.
Your moms are Monolithic (to BSD users/devs)Systemd Is Monolithic
Cause systemd is so well designed and simple unlike BSD init. Systemd is simple, small and fast so those guys saying under wise should grow up or get lost.Systemd Is About Speed
BullshitSystemd Is Complex
Good, BSDs hold back open-source projects. They always have to waste effort porting their software to pathetic BSDs. Much better forgetting about them and make software that takes advantage of superior Linux specific features. BSD users should just crawl into a hole and die cause their OS is 20 years behind and they do nothing but hold linux back.Systemd Is Linux-only & Not Nice To BSDs
That's irrelavent, systemd was made for linux and LINUX ONLY. If BSD don't like it, they can go screw themselves. Just ask GNOME, XFCE and KDE devs about how annoying the existence of BSD is. They'll tell you that BSD only makes up 0.01% of the users of their software and that they could make their DEs better without BSD to worry about.Systemd Is Not Portable For No Reason
So those criticizing systemd shown just STFU

You guys. I mean, really. I am not a fan of pale garments. Or neutral garments. My colouring means they look terrible on me, and so I have been conditioned to never desire them and to appreciate only full saturation and degrees therein. I usually glaze over. But this was gorgeous. Sparkly yet sophisticated, with those shoulders and that belt – it almost made me ignore that haircut, which I cannot say I loved: a too-perfect bob made me nervous. Full Story

thats the Point. if debian5 comes out in 1 or 2 weeks... he say o yes he try it out and fix the problem.
SID is ALWAYS and forever the unstable disribution it has no version I don't think "experimental" has a name
Lenny is the current testing for 5.0
etch is the current stable 4.x
sarge os the current oldstable 3.1
when Lenny is released it will become the current stable
and etch will be depreciated although probably still supported
before Etch there was Sarge 3.1 and woody 3.0
the naming follows the naming of characters from the movie Toy Story
remember SID was the boy that lived next door and mangled toys in his experiments ie strapping them to rockets and the like
nameing scheme explained in detail here its a good read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Releases

... his point is diverent.. sid is not stable so he do not support sid.
debian 5 isn't releaset so he do not support debian 5.
thats the Point. if debian5 comes out in 1 or 2 weeks... he say o yes he try it out and fix the problem.
Well I guess that supported distribution discussion is pointless. Basically a Xorg driver does not support distribution X but Xserver Y. All problems that occur with any distribution using the same Xserver - because of the same ABI. Debian 5.0 aka lenny is using Xserver 1.4.2 similar to Ubuntu hardy, Ubuntu intrepid uses Xserver 1.5.2 and Ubuntu jaunty will use 1.6 (current RC). As Debian is frozen, sid currently has the same version as lenny, but experimental has now 1.6 RC. So if ATI would just support Ubuntu they basically would support any distro. Last time Fedora was using Xserver 1.5 RC much before Ubuntu so they ignored it... Just in time for release they created a hotfix driver specific to Ubuntu. I don't think that's good style as you could expect that for Ubuntu jaunty too... ATI has OSS Xorg devs and they can surely tell the fglrx people when a new ABI is stable, thats the point a driver should be tested against it - and not several month later.
Ah... that makes a bit more sence kano thanks I was thinking Sid didn't freeze (instead of experimental) when in reality it is just a buffer too keep testing from becoming too unstable

Kano; I agree that an xorg driver cares mostly about the xorg version, but I believe most of our issues are with the DRI part of the stack, which does care much more about kernel details than xorg details.

Are you actually using Linux as your main OS on your computer at all?
Yes and no; I still need to run XP to get into most of our administrative systems at the office, and I'm typing this on a Vista system at home right now. I have a second system (running Ubuntu 8.10 right now, although it varies) at the office which I use most of the time, and I bought a second machine to run Linux at home which just arrived and will be unpacked over the weekend.
I was dual-booting Linux at home and trying various ways to get a reliable modem connection to my ISP, but so far I can only get a reliable connection with the Windows modem drivers. I purchased a network-attached 56K modem but that wasn't able to cope with the noisy phone lines out here in the sticks, which is why I purchased a second PC -- hopefully I can use the Windows modem driver to get a reliable ISP connection then use the Windows box as a router so the Linux system can get connectivity.
I know you guys all have DSL or satellite but neither of those is an option for me unless I cut down a LOT of trees to get line-of-site to the satellite.
Given that my official role here is managing the open source project, however, I am running an open source driver (currently radeonhd although it varies) most of the time, not fglrx.

So I think streamlining different projects that depend on each other would be a good idea, you need kernel 3.10 and mesa 9.2 for uvd with radeon so releasing it several months differently is not helpful.
like I said you can see that different then me but I think tagging it something like rc1 or beta1 would be helpful. I mean gnome does the same they try to release new versions of every projects that is a part of it, and the X stack should not have complete different releasedays/schemes.
its basicly the most difficult part of linux updates and the most important in the same time, replacing the driver-stack, so making it even more complicated dont help.

Several years ago, I purchased a couple of hair integration pieces from Paula Young, and, by far, Amplfy was my favorite! A stylist friend trimmed & colored my hair to match (#27), and NO ONE could tell that I wore extra hair. Then, that style was discontinued! I was frantic! THANK GOODNESS, Paula began offering Amplify again! I 'Jazzercise' in an older 'Amplify' & save the newer one for rest-of-the-day wear. I plan to stock up on this style because it's so versatile & I NEVER want to run out again!

I buy Amplify to add to my thin hair. I love the idea of pulling my own hair through the wefting. The look is natural and the piece is secure. However, the wefting at the back of Amplify is way too loose. Unless sewn tighter, it pops out through the hair. It should fit closer to the head. Such a shame that a really good idea is spoiled by the poor fit at the back. Paula, can you do something about this problem?

About Me Minimalist
Comments about Amplify WhisperLite® Volumizer by Paula Young®:
This hairpiece is very natural looking. I tried on my five wigs for comparison, and this looks the best, even though it was the cheapest! It is easy to pull my hair through the holes. The more hair I pull through, the more natural it looks. At first I found it difficult; however, I can now arrange and style it in about 15 minutes. It is much shorter than what it appears to be in the picture. I will order another one.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best style for summer!
By Mama G
from Statesville, NC
About Me Beauty Conscious
This is a fabulous wig! This style was the first wig I ever owned, and after trying several other styles, this is still my favorite. Most wigs have too much hair for me, but this one is perfect! And cooler to wear during the hot summer! It used to be available in more colors. Please make it available again in color 30 or 33/28 or 33/24. I would buy several if colors were better.

Nice Quality
This is a nice quality piece. It is easy to pull my hair through the holes. I find that the more hair I pull through, the more natural it looks. I ordered light ash brown and it is a lot lighter than my dyed light ash brown hair. However, the color looks great. I sprayed it with dry shampoo and it took care of that glossy "wig" look. I only gave it four stars because it is much shorter than the picture. My natural hair is shorter than the picture, so I thought the hairpiece might be too long...not the case. In fact, if I decide to wear this on a regular basis I will cut the lower back of my hair very short, probably with clippers. That would be the only way to prevent my natural hair from popping out from underneath. I also want to add that the hairpiece is thick enough that you wouldn't have to pull hair through the holes. If you have very little hair this would work for you too!

Fix welts and I will buy it from now on
By Bobby
from NC
I love Amplify, but the welting is too big on sides and back. This makes the hair piece stick out and it doesn't look very well. Could you not make them smaller. I wore Amplify several years ago and the welting was not so big.
Love the volumizer!
By Grandmama
from Dallas, TX
Very happy with the volumizer I bought. Wondering why there are none offered in the catalog I just received. I plan to order another style if it's available.
I would buy this product again.
By Kathy
from KY
I am thinning on the top and this product works well with integrating my own hair. The metal combs do not work well, because they pull too much on your natural hair. It would be better if they were plastic. I removed the metal combs with small scissors. Even without the combs the product fits well.
Metal clip problems
By Frustrated
from New York
This is my second comment on Amplify which I love except for the back, which is made with very loose wefting that sticks out beyond the hair. Another "con" are the metal clips which break the natural hair. Also, just traveled and found out that the metal clips show up on the security detection machines at airports! Embarrassing! Paula, please fix this lovely piece by tightening up the back and putting on some plastic clips or combs.

'Music moves people'
Trumpeter Bryan Shirley has played a lot of national anthems — among them, the Japanese anthem, "Kimigayo"; South Vietnam's "Call to the Citizens"; and, of course, our own "Star Spangled Banner."
As a member of the U.S. Navy Band during the Vietnam War era, he often found himself performing for ceremonial events in Southeast Asia. When the band was playing in a foreign country, it played the host's anthem first, then the U.S. anthem, Shirley said. Aboard ship or at home, it would play the "Star Spangled Banner" first, then the anthem of the visiting dignitary.
"It was an interesting four years," said Shirley, who now plays in several Yamhill County music groups.
He will perform Sunday, Nov. 10, with the combined Linfield College Concert Band and Second Winds Community Band in a Veterans Day concert. The free program, featuring Civil War music and patriotic tunes, will start at 3 p.m. in the McMinnville Community Center.
Shirley is one of several veterans who will play with the band on Sunday. They will stand proudly during a medley of military anthems — the Navy's "Anchor's Away," in Shirley's case.
"For me, the military was a good experience. I wouldn't trade one minute of it for anything," he said.
He chuckled, adding, "Of course, you couldn't pay me to do it again."
Shirley was born in Portland, but grew up in New York City, where his father worked for NBC.
At 10, he asked his mother for a trombone so he could join the band. "But my arms weren't long enough," he said.
He started on a trumpet, instead. He loved it, though he recalled: "My mom said, 'Couldn't you play something quieter?'"
It was brass or nothing for the youngster. He loved the music of Louie Armstrong, Doc Severenson, Harry James and Al Hirt. He'd also been exposed to great trumpet players in the NBC orchestra when he accompanied his dad to work.
His high school on Long Island was arts-oriented. Almost two-thirds of the students were playing, singing or acting in theater.
"That made it very competitive," he said. "There'd be four slots for trumpets and 20 guys competing."
Thinking he might be drafted, Shirley volunteered for the Navy.
"I always loved water and sailing," he said. "I can't get too far from one coast or the other. Besides, the Navy had the better schools, the better reputation."
He hoped to get into the Navy's underwater demolition program, but there were no openings. Instead, recruiters suggested he audition for the band.
"I'd been playing trumpet for eight or nine year already, and my school music program was very competitive," he said. "But I didn't think I had a chance for the band. I was auditioning against music teacher and pros."
To his delight, he was chosen for the trumpet section. And after completing the same boot camp as all recruits, he went to the Navy School of Music in Norfolk, Va.
It was an intensive program that packed several years of college-level music courses into a few months, he said. He put in long days in the classroom, learning theory and musicianship, then went home to practice at night.
"It was like trying to drink water from a fire hose — a huge education in a short period," he said.
But he and his fellow students were highly motivated. "If we didn't pass, we'd be chipping paint off the deck of a ship," he said.
After completing the course, he became part of a show band that toured Southeast Asia. The band, similar to a big band, included four players on each instrument, trumpet, trombone and saxophone, plus a rhythm section. It played all sorts of music, from big band to pop to patriotic.
Officially stationed on the S.S. Providence, the group spent most of the time on the ground in Danang Province.
"The USO shows took place on the carriers, because the performers were civilians," Shirley said. "We carried our instrument cases in one hand and rifles in the other, and played for the troops where civilians couldn't go."
And yes, he said, there were times when band members dropped their cases and used both hands on their guns.
The band performed for promotional events, as well as ceremonies. But playing for the troops was the most rewarding activity, Shirley said. "It was great."
But performing in a war zone wasn't without its dangers. Shirley recalled one concert scheduled for 8 p.m. in a large auditorium in the downtown area of a city.
On its way to the venue, his band was held up when road mines were discovered on the highway it was traveling. The concert was canceled.
At 9:15 p.m., when the music should have been in full swing, the auditorium was hit by mortar shells and leveled.
"If we had made it, there would have been 2,000 people inside," he said. As it was, the place was empty and no one was hurt.
Shirley finished his stint in the Navy in 1970. He also put down his trumpet.
"I let it go for a long time," he said.
He worked in and ran several companies over the years. He also managed a restaurant and held sales positions.
Nowadays, he owns and runs two businesses — a coin-operated laundry and a precision sharpening business that hones the clipper blades, shears for clothing manufacturers, surgeons' tools and other instruments that need to be perfectly sharp. He bought the sharpening business after returning to his home state a dozen years ago.
Not long after moving to Dundee with his wife, Shirley, he decided he wanted to play his trumpet and be part of a band again.
"Music moves people, pure and simple," he said. "It's always done that for me."
So when he heard the Second Winds playing at the U.S. Bank Plaza one day, he signed up.
One thing led to another. Soon he was playing regularly with the Frank Messina Band, the Linfield Jazz Band and the George Fox University band. He also plays "Taps" frequently at funerals and ceremonies.
These days, he figures he spends about 41 hours a week practicing and performing — even more hours than he put in when was in the Navy band. Alone or in a group, for a rehearsal or a concert, he simply loves to play.
"When I open my trumpet case," Shirley said, "I get just as excited as I did when I was 10."

The Linfield College Concert Band and the Second Winds Community Band will combine for a Veterans Day concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, in the McMinnville Community Center.
Admission is free. Food and monetary donations will be accepted at the door for Friends of Battery B 2-218 Field Artillery.
The concert will feature patriotic music and tunes written during or inspired by the Civil War. Army veteran Mike Donahue, retired news anchor of KOIN-TV, will narrate the program. The Northwest Civil War Council re-enactors will present an the honor guard and color guard and take part of an antebellum fashion show featuring apparel from 1860s.
Patriotic music is meant to inspire love of country, stir emotions and evoke memories, said Mark Williams, director of Second Winds, and Joan Haaland Paddock, director of the Linfield Band.
Some is based on marshal tunes written to rally troops and keep them in step, Paddock said. "It's generally grand, with strong rhythms and harmonies," she said.
It is meant to stir one's soul, she said. People might feel their own anthem more than those of other countries, but patriotic pieces often have a universal appeal as the notes evoke memories and experiences we hold in common.
"Everyone can understand sacrifice and yearning for home," she said.
The concert will include "When this Cruel War is Over" and "Hoist up the Flag" by Septimus Winner; "The Civil War Fantasy" by Jerry Bilik; "Ashokan Farewell," featuring a violin solo of Linfield junior Sasha Meyer with community member David Clark on guitar; "The Silver Horn" by Henry Clay Work, featuring junior Delaney Bullinger on vocals, Meyer on violin and Debbie Schrepel on piano; "Battle of Shiloh March" by Charles Barnhouse; and "Stars and Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa.

Charles Barkley, Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson, Michael Strahan, Ozzie Smith, George Brett, Clyde Drexler, Jason Kidd, George Gervin, Kenny Smith, Mario Lemieux, Brett Hull, Grant Fuhr, Pierre Larouche…all of 'em in one place for the entire weekend? Indeed. The Pro Sports Team Challenge issued a call to all the above named hotties to take part in a charity golf-event to determine which sport has the best golfers. After watching 'em tee off, take bunker shots, and hit outta the rough for three days, I've got a pretty good idea of who I'd want to be on my team…but mums the word on which team came out victorious- you'll have to watch the broadcast on Fox Sports Net June 28 and 29 unless an unscrupulous member of the media decides to leek the info…
The players were competing for a total purse of $250,000 for charity. The USO was earmarked by Team Basketball in efforts to help comfort our hard working military. Team Football didn't stop smiling all weekend as they hoped to make a hefty donation to Operation Kids. Team Hockey, led by cancer survivor Mario Lemieux, chose Hockey Fights Cancer as their beneficiary, and finally, Team Baseball was swinging away for the Baseball Assistance Team in efforts to help the families of players who have fallen on tough times.
The desert heat was brutal, but you would never know it by watching these guys. Dressed sharp, in Team shirts clearly marked with their charity-choice logo across the front, the hotties didn't seem remotely phased by the sun as they smiled, chatted with each other, signed autographs for fans, and focused on winning big bucks for their chosen charities.
Commissioner Charles Barkley was having a blast, despite the fact that the event was held at the Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino- yes, at a casino. But the big guy was quick to address the issue during the VIP party: "It flat out sucks to be in a casino and not gamble" he said, "I thought I was going to break out in a rash last night. I can't gamble for four years so its really gonna suck the next four years of my life. I guess there's going to be a lot of money for my family to fight over when I keel over one day." I should mention at this point that Martin Short was the 'entertainment' for the night…but general consensus was that Sir Charles stole the show from Short-who's jokes fell a bit short (pun intended) and Barkley gave a deliciously wicked speech to the poolside crowd…More than one great quote crept outta his mouth, but perhaps the most memorable? "Please be careful as you drink and drive 'cause that's a very dangerous thing. You know they got a bunch of old people up here (in Palm Springs) so you have to factor that in when you're drinking and driving."
Several more memorable quotes are locked in the vault-as they came during a sound check while Fox Sports was preparing to interview him. I do believe that the reporter's face will give you an indication of what Sir Charles was up to… The VIP party was awesome, to say the least. Massive shout out to MP for taking great care of this girl and working his ass off to ensure that rouge PR people and paparazzi-type photogs were properly yanked and spanked…he did a phenomenal job and should be commended for it…so, back to the party…the first stop for me, of course, was the bar. Standing next to me was 'Hercules' himself, Mr. Kevin Sorbo. Admittedly, I don't know Hercules from a hole in the ground, but I do know Sorbo has been at almost every charity event I've attended (and I do believe that he finally remembers my name)…but the reason I mention him is because he is kicking-butt in the charity world and couldn't have been more sincere in his efforts. Sorbo's charity is World Fit for Kids and he's just earned a major nod from the Governator for his Foundations work. Sorbo didn't hesitate to give me an interview for Look to the Stars, so a big thank you to him for taking the time to speak with me and for all his hard work at helping thousands of kids in Los Angeles. (The interview will be posted this week and I will most definitely let ya know when it is)…
Also at the VIP Party was Dennis Haysbert, aka Snake Doc from one of my all time favorite shows, the 'Unit.' As usual, I had to give him a massive hug. "I adore you" seeped outta my mouth before I could duct tape it shut. "Bless you," he said after taking the time to indulge in my photo request. Seriously, my list of 'must-squeeze celebrities' has dwindled to almost nothing. Thank you Dennis Haysbert from your number one Betty Blue in So-Cal.
For all ya hockey fans out there, try this on for size…the after party…Team Hockey is there…keep in mind that I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to knowing most of the athletes I meet. I know names, what sport they play and their charities…I'd like to blame the Vodka for my blurred thinking, but I cant because I say stupid things even when I'm sans Vodka…no ones perfect right? Anyway, either I forgot or didn't know that Mario Lemieux played with the Penguins for 11 years before he bought the team in 1999. So what did I do? I asked him which team he wanted to win the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Penguins or the Red Wings…yeah, I did. Thankfully, everyone laughed as hard as I did. Pretty sure Mario won't forget me anytime soon…I did ask Lemieux how he felt about Tiger Woods' 'not caring about hockey' comments, and he gracefully replied: "I think Tiger was just caught off guard and I didn't take any offense to it." All in all, he couldn't have nicer- the same goes for the entire Team Hockey-especially Grant Fuhr who is not only adorable but signed just about every autograph the fans hit him up for. Fuhr also saved me from heat stroke…a shortage of golf carts led to long walks around the greens, but Fuhr and his buddy politely picked up this red headed hitchhiker and whisked her into the shade.
Gotta give some love to homeboy LaDainian Tomlinson as well. I think he's finally warming up to me and I couldn't have been more proud of the Charger babe who graciously stopped for all the young LT fans sporting his jersey and chasing him with Sharpies. Ain't nothing gives me the warm-fuzzies like watching athletes make some kids day. Well done LT.
More love going to the super-smooth and always cool Clyde Drexler, who I'm awarding with the 'Best Smelling Athlete" prize. His fresh cologne was lingering in the air each time I spoke with him and I couldn't resist giving him a Delinda-squeeze. Second place for best smelling? LaDainian, who exited the elevator prior to me getting in…don't know what cologne he had on, but I've never inhaled as deeply as I did in that empty elevator in hopes that D2 could smell it all the way in No-Cal…Im also gonna give out a 'Never Stopped Smiling' award to John Elway. Seriously, for three days he had a grin plastered across his face- if his ball landed in the sand, he was smiling…if ten kids rushed him for an autograph, he was smiling…if other players tried to shake his concentration, he was smiling…wish I could have snapped a photo of he and his wife in the pool, floating around with a beer in one hand, smiling. But hey- I got ethics and wouldn't have dared gone pool-side paparazzi on Elway, Jason Kidd, Kenny Smith or any others who were chillen by the pool trying to cool off after a long day on the greens.
Aside from this being a massive endorsement for the charities, four lucky people won a sweepstakes, which awarded them an all-expense paid trip to the event, including a spot in the Pro-Am. Two of the winners, Matt Lesage and Brandon Akey, sat down and spoke to us about their experience. Both these guys won by playing on-line poker. Lesage was inspired Team Hockey, as he is a big hockey fan. "I played with Pierre Larouche in the Pro-Am," he told me, "Mario Lemieux, Pierre, Grant, all those guys were so nice. Pierre is a great guy and I've got nothing but good things to say about him'" he said, "At first though, I was a bit skeptical on how the athletes were going to act towards someone like me, not being a big golfer, but they were all class acts and they couldn't have been nicer. Really top notch guys, all of 'em." While Lesage was hyped to play golf, he was also keen on the fact that this was for charity. "I heard Team Hockey talking about Hockey Fights Cancer, and a lot of people in my family had cancer so it made me really happy to be part of it. I just had a blast, couldn't have had a better time. All these guys inspire me." The other winner, 20 year-old Brandon Akey, came all the way from Ohio to play with the big boys. His story made me proud to be part of this event. "I'm only 20 years old and this is only the second time I've been out of Ohio, the last time I took a trip was to Florida when I was a kid and suddenly I'm here playing golf with these guys." Brandon played in the Pro-Am with basketball legend, George Gervin. "He was such a good guy. Whenever we hit bad shots he was really cool and supportive, he said 'that's all right, we're a team, its like basketball.'"
Another participant, who perhaps best captures the spirit of the event by making her own tax-rebate-check donation to the USO, will be interviewed for the article on Look to the Stars. It's an amazing story of generosity and kindness and I can't wait to share it with the world.
Four more shout outs here…first, Jay Flemma from the Golfspace for falling in the water, walking the entire course for four days in the heat, and keeping most of us engaged with his linguistic skills…Tony Korologos, perhaps one of the best (golf) bloggers alive, spent most of his time blogging live on his Hooked on Golf Blog…and provided us with this fantastic video…check out their stuff for detailed coverage of the action on the greens. And also Debbie Dahmer of Big Break III was awesome and spends more time than I do chasing hot golfers and covering their charity events.
It's not too late to donate to the charities involved, visit the Team Challenge website, sign up as a ProCoach and $1.00 goes to the charity of your choice. If I can get even one of you to donate, my weekend was well worth it.
All photos from the event are linked up. Please go to the 'Event Photos' link at the top of the page.
As always, thanks for reading.

The Zoria repeat shape is basically a five sided triangular wedge with an attachment base at one end growing to a specialized reinforced tip at the other end. Other specific features of the Zoria Repeat shape - structure is that the outside face is always crowned, and the crown is located rear of the center at the attachment base extending down to the tip center. the and the inside face is flat slightly concave. With a blunt piercing trailing edge, and a double cutter trailing edge for slicing The specialized external individual features of the Zoria Repeat wedge shape structure are very consistent and predictable. Numbers can be used to describe features and location of features and angles of features. Repeating mathematical equations are at work in the Zoria Repeating Biological Structures.
