Paul McCartney Is Back On The Road
Monday, November 12, 2012
Paul McCartney kicked off his current mini-tour last night (November 11th) in St. Louis at the 19,260-capacity Scottrade Center. The show was the first of a five-show run this month, which will also hit Houston, Texas; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Edmonton, Alberta. In addition to all the usual Beatles classics which have dominated McCartney's setlists over the years, McCartney played such Wings favorites as "Junior's Farm," "Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five," and "Mrs. Vandebilt" -- along with a deeper dip into his "Fab Four" catalogue, running through evergreens such as "I've Just Seen A Face," "Birthday," and "The Night Before," among many others.
McCartney told us that there's no great method behind devising his nightly setlists, explaining that it really comes down to common sense: "We just do, first of all what we think the audience might like; secondly, what we like -- which is very important because we can't throw in stuff that they like, but we don't. And then we throw in a bit of things they may not know, but that we think would be interesting because they don't know 'em. And then we look and see what we did last time and we try to do too many of the same numbers. We try to open with something different, so a few little things like that."
McCartney's current band is the longest lineup he's had in place since the Beatles -- with the core group of player signing on to work with McCartney during the spring of 2001: "I was going to do the Driving Rain album, I was talking to the producer, I said, 'I better get some people -- or you better get some people.' (Laughs) Y'know, we're gonna work with musicians. So I said, 'Y'know what, you know guys out in L.A.' I said, 'Why don't you make a couple of suggestions' -- so he did, and they sounded great. Abe (Laboriel Jr.) on drums and Rusty (Anderson) on guitar. So, anyway, I worked with those two guys during the Driving Rain album, and loved working with them."
Britain's Daily Mail just revealed that back on May 2nd, McCartney and wife Nancy Shevell narrowly escaped a helicopter crash in a $9 million Air Harrods helicopter. According to the report, the couple was only two feet way from plunging into trees due to a disoriented pilot coping with poor weather conditions. He was able to steer the copter to safely at a nearby airport. The paper posted that air accident investigators have launched a "serious incident" probe.
Paul McCartney tour dates (subject to change):
November 14 - Houston, TX - Minute Maid Park
November 25 - Vancouver, BC - BC Place
November 28, 19 - Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place

Makes me wonder if any/all existing UE3 games will work on linux now, and there's a LOT out there. I own at least 4 games that use it, with only 2 of them being a FPS.
Phoronix: Mozilla Brings Unreal Engine 3 To Firefox
For showing off the power of its JavaScript engine with Firefox, Mozilla collaborated with Epic Games to bring a JavaScript-based version of Unreal Engine 3 for the web...
Makes me wonder if any/all existing UE3 games will work on linux now, and there's a LOT out there. I own at least 4 games that use it, with only 2 of them being a FPS.
Arguably it's in a small canvas in Firefox. It's good to see people moving toward Javascript use as there's no reason for JS not to be super fast language.
NaCL and Dart are much better options than trying to fit a square shape (javascript) into a round whole (efficiency).
Anyway, the main problem with running real games inside a browser is the texture data. AAA games have > 10GB of texture data that's typically installed to the hard drive, and you aren't going to want to try and stream that on demand. Meaning you need to install it all ahead of time. And once you've done that, is there really much of a point to try to run it in the browser instead of locally?
Apparently Mozilla is working on some kind of new system that would check the bandwidth available and dynamically download textures of different sizes and quality based on how much you can stream from the server, but I still doubt you'd want to do that for a major AAA game. It seems like it'd be more useful for something that in the past would used Flash.
I'm sure one of the reasons Mozilla is working on this is so they have something extra appealing to offer for their Firefox OS.
I write in Javascript every day, it's slow and I know it. Moreover, there's no dynamic language out there that compares to the performance of native static-typed ones (C & C++). Most AAA game companies wont even consider using anything but C++ cause no other language (currently) offers tight control over SIMD instructions. There's no way Javascript is going to be a target for anything more than simple Indie games unless something drastic happens to the language itself, or (like with asm.js) human-unreadable subset idioms are introduced that allow JS compilers to have more structural guarantees. Even then, unless you add very specialized SIMD commands, C++ will win by a milestones.
Moreover, even if the performance wasn't a concern, Javascript sux. Prototype inheritance is horrible for big projects compared to proper OOP. You can't even have private variables without killing performance.
The portage done in just four hours. Ok, probably a little more with some additionnal tunning.
Meanwhile, shall I remember that the Linux players have been waiting for UT3 for years for nuts ? I thought there was some "legal" problems avoiding the port to linux? Is there no "legal" problem anymore so that the engine can be directly ported to all existing platforms at the same time because of using Java?

Latest update : 2013-02-25
Bradley Manning has spent over 1,000 days in detention
Bradley Manning has now spent over 1,000 days in detention - the web reacts. Online activists in Switzerland fight to preserve Geneva's nightlife. And a site documents the final tweets of deceased public figures.
Bradley Manning has spent over 1,000 days in detention
New York City, Berlin, Melbourne… activists staged rallies all over the world on Saturday to mark Bradley Manning's 1,000th day imprisoned without trial. And the Former US army intelligence analyst is due to appear before a military court this week for his latest series of pre-trial hearings.
He faces a number of charges, the most serious being "aiding the enemy". He could be sentenced to life in prison for handing over confidential documents to whistle blowing website Wikileaks, including this footage of a terrible US military blunder in Iraq, as well as 260,000 classified state department cables, which set off an international diplomatic storm.
And while some see the 25 year old soldier as a traitor, others say daring to expose top secret documents makes him a champion of democracy and transparency. Web users the world over have been posting photos online in recent weeks to show their support. Some have even posed naked to denounce Bradley Manning's detention conditions.
His lawyer David Coombs has taken to his blog on a number of occasions to speak out against just this. He says Bradley Manning had been forced to sleep naked in his prison cell for months on end.
The judge presiding over his court martial ruled he was subjected to excessively harsh treatment in military detention and granted him a 112 day reduction in any eventual sentence at the conclusion of his trial set to start in June.
Swiss activists fight to preserve Geneva's nightlife
At the beginning of February, in a bid to combat noise pollution, authorities in Switzerland decided that from March onwards 28 bars in Geneva would have to close their doors at midnight. The ruling has sparked a backlash from sections of Swiss society, and web users have taken to social networks, slamming the decision and urging the powers that be to change their mind.
There is a host of messages on Twitter criticizing the measures, describing them as ridiculous. Posts in which Swiss web users share their fears Geneva's nightlife will fizzle out forever, saying they don't want to live in a boring city which has had the life sucked out of it.
And opposition is also mounting on Facebook where a group has been started to bring together opponents to the midnight closing ruling. The page has over 5,300 members and urges residents of Geneva to fight to preserve the city's nightlife, by, for example, signing the various online petitions already in circulation.
And in addition to all these relatively conventional forms of online protest, some have opted to condemn the measures through comedy. The platform "NotreBruit.ch" for example which was set up by a graphic designer from Geneva, hosts all sorts of parodies, videos and other wacky creations, produced and uploaded by web users in opposition to the measures.
Strong online campaigning which is set to spread to the streets of Geneva in the not too distant future; a mass rally is being planned for Saturday 2nd of March with protesters set to gather at midnight.
Website documents the final tweets of the deceased
The somewhat morbid website "The Tweet Hereafter" documents the last tweets of notable and famous personalities who are no longer with us. Like model Reeva Steenkamp for example who was killed by her boyfriend the South African Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, and also Caleb Moore, the champion snowmobiler who died after crashing whilst competing.
Meet Edyhte, the world's oldest Facebook user
At the age of 105, Edythe Kirchmaier is Facebook's oldest registered user. The Californian woman, who was born in the age of telegrams, had the account set up for her birthday last week and now uses the social network to communicate with friends and family. Close to 30 000 web users have joined her page which was launched in collaboration with the NGO "Direct Relief" where she has been volunteering for the past forty years to so.

Las Flores Surf Club, El Salvador
Managed by surfers for surfers, Las Flores Surf Club's pride is its signature break Las Flores - a world-class, 300-meter-long, righthand freight train that forms outside the point and peels across the cove up onto the sand just meters from the front of the hotel. The epic location of the surf club directly in front of the wave is without rival. In combination with the beachfront hotel's modern facilities and amenities, surfing and fishing panga fleet, surf school and the personalized service of our surf guides and staff, the result is practically unprecedented in surf travel.
Las Flores Resort
Playa Las Flores is a dramatic, natural cove, hemmed in by severe topography and dense tropical flora, a playful black sand beach bordering a cauldron of whitewater and waves detonating in the background, a throwback in time to a prehistoric vision of Central America where the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the charcoal sands of ancient volcanic outflows. Cast within this primordial setting, Las Flores Resort is an environmentally conscious hotel designed to have a minimal impact on the landscape and ecosystem. Designed by Salvadorian architect Rodrigo Barraza Dominguez, the resort is a juxtaposition of the jungle and the sea— a reconciliation between our primeval yearnings and modern addictions following sustainable development guidelines.
Las Flores Resort is located 2 hours East of El Salvador's Comalapa International Airport (SAL) in the municipality of El Cuco- a sleepy touristic and residential beach zone located approximately 45min drive from the departmental capital of San Miguel. The resort lies on a stunning 7-acre beachfront property directly in front of the famous surfing break of Las Flores.
The boutique hotel, opened in 2005, features 11 ocean-view guest suites with modern architecture and progressive design including (7) Jr. Suites and (4) 2-bedroom Suites. All suites are fully air-conditioned with luxury amenities. Current capacity is approximately 30 adult guests, however in the interests of sustainability the number of surf passes sold each week is limited to 20 or less.
The Surf
El Salvador's East Coast
The East coast, contrary to belief, is not the Caribbean coast, in fact EL Salvador has no Caribbean coast only a Pacific coast. Because of the El Salvador coast's due south orientation the country is divided into 2 regions, "El Oriente", East, and "Occidental", West, a.k.a "La Libertad". The East coast of El Salvador gets the same swells as the West coast and La Libertad. These swells are generated by storms in the Southern Hemisphere and occur with regularity from March-November. Average wave heights are 4-7ft on the face, with bigger days to 8-12ft+ faces possible, and rarely if ever under 3 feet. The consistency is 90% or greater. December-February still breaks but is smaller, 2-4 ft mostly, with some days to around 5ft possible.
The main draw here are 5 righthand pointbreaks located along a 10 mile stretch of rugged, mountainous coastline. Most famous of the breaks are Las Flores and Punta Mango. Besides these 2 waves there are at least 3 other quality right points in the vicinity and several beachbreaks.
Climate/Water Temperature
El Salvador has a dry season (Nov- Apr) and a wet season (May-Oct). One should not be deterred from traveling to El Salvador in the "Wet season". The majority of days in the wet season start out with sheet glass in the mornings and fair skies during most of the daytime with occasional afternoon and evening thunderstorms, and the wet season is generally when the surf is biggest and best and glassiest. The dry season, or "summer" (November-April), offers beautiful, sunny conditions and morning offshores with afternoon seabreezes typical and strongest from around January to March.
The water temperature is between 78F and 86F year-round. Unlike neighboring Nicaragua or Guanacaste, Costa Rica, El Salvador does not get the strong local offshores that cause upwelling, and El Salvador water temperatures are among the warmest in Central America. The air at the coast is hot and humid, in the 80's and low 90's generally. Strong sun protection is compulsory.
Hotel facilities include pool and sundeck, swim-up bar, jacuzzi, air-conditioned lounge, business center, outdoor lounges and hammocks, children's playground, landscaped gardens and walking trails, surf shop, surf school, surfing and fishing panga fleet, oceanfront yoga deck and signature Las Flores SPA. Directly in front of the hotel is the Pacific ocean and one of the most beautiful black sand beaches in Central America.
On our very own beach you can partake in surfing for any level of ability at one of the premier breaks in Central America or swim in the frothing waves. Onsite activities include surfing lessons, surf tours, fishing, SPA treatments, yoga (prebooking required), couples honeymoon & romantic package, sun worshipping, and lots of R&R. Offsite tours include a variety of eco, cultural and city tours throughout El Salvador's "Oriente" (the portion of the country east of the Rio Lempa)
Food & Beverage Service
Enjoy seaside dining at Restaurante Entre Cocos overlooking the waves. Serving only the freshest ingredients from the sea and the earth, the restaurant provides a diverse culinary experience including a-la-carte breakfast and lunch menus, set 3-course dinner menu with seafood, meat or vegetarian entrée selections, and theme buffets such as our seafood buffet and traditional Salvadorian night. Mangos Bar serves a selection of fruit smoothies, natural juices, energy and sports drinks in addition to a full bar service with domestic and international beers, wines, champagnes, and top shelf liquor selection.
Impeccable Guest Service
Our Las Flores Resort team spoils you with a high level of personal attention to provide you with a relaxing and rejuvenating experience—all for a tangible and down-to-earth economic value. Our bilingual management, front desk staff and surf guides are at your service to meet your every need while at Las Flores Resort.

Eyes accentuated with taupe tones, incandescent lips set with crystals, and an ultra-short haircut: the show's beauty look was a reflection of the couture by Raf Simons, contemporary and daring.
On the face, jauntily topped by a short haircut, it draws all attention: the glossy, luscious mouth, painted in Dior red or in fuchsia pink set with Swarovski crystals, almost in a nod to the embroideries on the clothes. A mouth like the petals of a rose glistening with morning dew, the final touch to Raf Simons' take on flower-women. A slash of scarlet, vibrant and bright, on skin that's clean and minimal, almost nude. The eyes are now made up with a band of iridescent eyeshadows, stretching as far as the temples, as if set with butterly wings in Tweed and Sequins , then underlined with a delicate swipe of black eyeliner and taupe eyeshadow. Innovative and unexpected, the garconne make-up expresses all the modernity of the colors developed by Tyen, Dior's creative director of make-up.
In contrast to the sophistication of Raf Simons' designs, hair was short and slicked down, inspired by Monsieur Dior's own models and iconic actresses of the 1960s. " From the very conception of the collection, Raf Simons had a specific idea in mind for the hair: he wanted it short," explains hairstylist Guido Palau. " I was inspired by famous actresses with celebrated garçonne haircuts, like Mia Farrow, Jean Seberg, Janet Leigh, and by Monsieur Dior's models who, for the most part, had short hair. It's a very elegant cut, it elongates the silhouette, and draws attention to the neck and how the head is carried. "

Print out the mask on cardstock or heavyweight paper for added durability. Have your child color it in with crayons or colored pencils. Then cut out the Ping mask along the dashed lines, where indicated. Glue or tape a craft stick, a brand-new unsharpened pencil, a wooden dowel, or a chopstick to the back of Ping's chin.

With Cosmos, there's no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. Averaging over a decade... we'd like you to meet a Tour Director, who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your vacation.
After graduating from Fordham University, I lived in New York City until I inherited a small inn that my grandmother had owned in my hometown of Daytona Beach, Florida. I became immersed in restoring and running it, but after working 24 hour days for 10 years, I was ready for a change. I told a friend I wanted a job where I could travel. He said, "You should do what my ex-wife is doing. She's a Tour Director." That began my wonderful new career that is now in its 21st year.

For who follow close the mailing list, this is not new, in any case see below a part of email exchange between Scott and Daniel:
Did that patchset get submitted to the list for review? If not, will it
No. These patches breaks many of the core goals of wayland/weston with DE-like features.
<krh> weston isn't going to be a full DE, starting a new DE is specifically a non-goal of wayland
<krh> and I've always said that fleshing out wl_shell will have to wait until we have at least one real DE to driver the work
<krh> otherwise it's all just going to be guesswork
So we're going to be doing a lot of guessing. As it turns out, the
best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas. So we're going
to try and guess what some of the better ideas might be.
I definitely don't see it that way, and without being able to speak for
Kristian, I daresay he doesn't either. There's a big gap between not
wanting to start a competitor to GNOME, KDE, Enlightenment, XFCE, LXDE and
the myriad other environments, and adding titlebar buttons to XWayland. The
example clients shipped with Weston have titlebar buttons, so I think it's
fairly safe to say that a) extending the same support to X11 clients is a
useful goal, and b) including titlebar buttons is clearly not a non-goal for
I totally understand Mir now
Maybe he could contribute to ubuntu.
"I myself am not going to waste my time and effort as I have done for the past several months, trying to get even the simplest things pushed upstream. So even if these patches were acceptable, I don't have plans to put forth a large amount of effort to see them upstream. If you want the code, great. It's FOSS, grab it. The general point here is, I don't really plan on going to be making special time to bug upstream anymore because my efforts so far have been shunned, shot down, trolled and ultimately, less-than-appreciated. It's been a year, now I've had enough of the nonsense."
What exactly qualifies as hostility for you? This does not seem like someone happy cooperating with upstream devs as you claim, and its not a new development branch to play in, branches are usually intended to be merged back with master. He clearly states he never intends to do so or to submit anything back to master for that matter, this is a fork.
As I said is my previous post, in my opinion poor management of potential contributors is hurting FOSS development more than the lack of devs.

Pretty interesting, so it seems to be true what Ubuntu developers feared, wayland develoeprs not accepting patches or the ideas they had. So in the end the best decision was to start Mir.
Only people that is really close to all of this can really know what is happening behind the scenes...

Unfortunately, it's hard to see exactly where the issue is - the other Wayland guys have expressed interest in at least some of his patches (like the xwayland titlebar buttons), so it's not like they've just shot him down, rejected all his contributions. I guess there must be some history there that's not apparent without going trawling list archives, but overall it sounds like he's focused on doing stuff that the core devs just aren't interested in dealing with at the moment.
And l'm not talking about patches being totally ignored as usually the devs do find some downtime eventually to look at them but the problem is it can take months this means pinging the devs every few weeks or so otherwise they will be forgotten about ( or bugging upstream as this developer put it) all the while your frustration builds and you feel undervalued like the developer describes and why wouldnt you. It's all just down to prioritys and management Unfortunately although its even a goal for some projects to increase contributions very few do well at prioritising feedback to New contributions.

we'd just fork the project and do whatever we want.

Friday Lingerie Lust: Elsefeatured
Finding new designers in the places I travel to is one of my favourite things. I'm busy planning a trip to Turkey for early summer and I was feeling inspired to look around to see if I could find some lingerie for this week's "lust" from the country. I found the very glamorous Else Lingerie which is surely going to find it's way into my suitcase come the end of my trip.
Else is the creation of founder and designer Ela Onur, born in Istanbul, who studied in the US before returning to Turkey to start her label in 2007.
"The whole idea behind Else is the effort to make a woman feel glamorous, confident and comfortable while carrying a special set of lingerie" Onur tells us. Else's signature collection is made from 100% silk and hand crafted. There is also a smaller diffusion line on offer, Something Else – a more playful, youthful collection than the main range. My favourite collection so far is spring summer 2011, a gorgeously feminine mix of silk and lace in sugary pastels (pictures, above). Autumn winter of the same year was a marked change with geometric and Chevron patterns and uber sensual sheer fabrics (picture below):
Another very different overall look (I love a designer who innovates each time around, which Onur clearly does) is seen for 2012 – vibrant hues and floral prints in a collection based around a botanical theme (I see lingerie is big on nature this year, did you see last week's lingerie feature, Blog Reader?)
Luckily we don't all need to travel to Turkey to purchase Else Lingerie. (You will miss out on the amazing view from the Lycian Way and the delights of the sunken city Batik Sehir but I promise to post some photos later in the year, Blog Reader). You can buy Else from Journelle in NYC, BHLDN and the lovely Forty Winks boutique in Boston, MA. A full list of stockists is given on their website. What else do you need?!*
Have a great weekend! StyleOnTheCouch xo

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 strikes a perfect balance between new and old and renders the two previous entries in the series almost completely obsolete in the process.
Dino Crisis 2
Dino Crisis 2 avoids the stereotypes of the genre and delivers one of the most refreshing takes on the third-person action shooter to date.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
As most major publishers' development efforts shift to any number of next-generation platforms, Tony Hawk 2 will likely stand as one of the last truly fantastic games to be released ...
Madden NFL 2001
The flaws in the passing and running game prevent Madden 2001 from being completely enjoyable or realistic.
Chrono Cross
Chrono Cross may not have had the largest budget, but it has the largest heart.
Vagrant Story
While a fairly short game, the depth and density of the story and gameplay contained in Vagrant Story give it an intensity missing from most longer games.
Grind Session
The game has great sound effects and an absolutely amazing soundtrack, featuring songs from artists such as Jurassic 5, GZA, Dr. Octagon, X-Ecutioners, NOFX, and Black Flag.
Guitar Freaks Append 2nd Mix
While the original Guitar Freaks has addictive qualities that imbue it with a nearly ungodly amount of replay value, adding 2nd Mix to it really makes the series more complete.
Metal Gear Solid Integral
If there were any justice, Konami would just bite the bullet and release it as is for the American public.
Syphon Filter
While it may not be an original concept, the game is truly greater than the sum of its many parts.
Xenogears' reliance on story, subtlety, and mood make it Square's most anime-like RPG thus far, in many ways making the game one of its best.
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
It may be a bit too cute for its own good.
Tekken 3
Tekken 3 is the best PlayStation game to come along in a long time.
