The Problems Right Now For Gaming On Linux

While 2013 is shaping up to be
the best year for gaming on Linux
with so many major milestones just ahead of us, it's not without some unfortunate sore points still present for gaming and the Linux desktop.
There's a lot to be happy about with everything going on in the Linux gaming space at the moment, but there's some fundamental problems to be addressed for Linux to become a viable platform for gaming and to be widely embraced by commercial studios. Among the current Linux gaming issues that quickly come to mind include:
- The open-source Linux graphics drivers (Intel / Radeon / Nouveau) still have a long ways to go. The open-source GPU drivers that tend to be the default drivers among Linux distributions are still generally disappointing when it comes to their OpenGL performance, OpenGL support level (bound to OpenGL 3.0~3.1 while OpenGL 4.3 is the latest Khronos industry specification), poor power management, and other missing features (anti-aliasing modes, SLI/CrossFire, feature-rich GUI control panels, etc) that Windows gamers would simply expect. The sub-par open-source drivers can lead to a poor first/out-of-the-box experience for new Linux users unless they are educated and aware of the proprietary alternatives. Open-source graphics drivers continue to advance at a respectable pace, but the binary NVIDIA and AMD drivers are much better and it's very unlikely the open-source drivers will catch up in 2013.
- While Linux hardware support is now generally in good standing, there's still a variety of gaming peripherals that go without full Linux support like many USB gaming mice and keyboards with their extra functionality. (See the
2012 Linux hardware shopping guide
for the holidays.) For the Linux gaming peripheral support that is out there now, most of the support was provided by the community through reverse-engineering rather than through the vendor. This though should slowly change as more hardware vendors take the Linux desktop seriously and see more game studios supporting non-Windows platforms. This will also likely be one of the many areas of improvement as a result of Valve pushing a Linux-based game console.
- Other random Linux hardware support "gotchas" like kernel/driver regressions unfortunately not being too uncommon, power consumption disparity between releases and compared to Windows, and other incidental cases where there isn't Linux hardware support or the driver is in an incomplete state. NVIDIA Hybrid Graphics / switchable graphics is one of the examples of an area that is currently in a less-than-stellar incomplete state under Linux.
Most open-source games are still disappointing
in terms of their artwork, other game assets, originality, etc. There's a few good high-quality open-source games out there, but most of them would have a tough time competing with commercial games from the last decade. There's been no marked progress in this area recently. Most of these open-source games are being powered by ioquake3 and while the Doom 3 (id Tech 4) source-code has been out there for over one year,
there's been very little progress
on open-source games using newer and more advanced game engines.
- In talking with various game studios, hardware vendors, and other commercial organizations, there's still a stigma attached to Linux that its users want everything for free and aren't very motivated to pay for software or support. There's also an unmeasured portion of Linux desktop users that won't run any games/software if it employs Digital Rights Management.
- There's a shortage of highly-qualified Linux game developer veterans for porting games to Linux.
Linux Game Publishing isn't doing much
these days and most of the game studios relying upon outside help for porting their titles to Linux are relying solely upon Ryan "Icculus" Gordon. Ryan can only scale so much himself and there's few other names associated as well with Linux game porting; the bus factor is very low in this area. It was already difficult
finding high-quality Linux developers for Valve to employ
this year, but this is a problem that should be organically overcome when gaming on Linux (hopefully) proves to be commercially viable.
- Fragmentation and differences among Linux distributions
continue to be a problem
for studios bringing their software to "Linux."
- There's already been major game studios that have supported Linux in the past but have -- at least temporarily -- left the scene after being less than pleased with their return on investment for supporting Linux. Two of the names that come to mind are
Epic Games
id Software
. When companies leave Linux with a sour experience, it's tough to get them to quickly return.

Last night I went to freshops.com and couldn't pass up what they were offereing, so I placed an order. You have to order at least 12 oz of hops and at least 2 oz of each hop you order. So this is what I ended up buying:
3 oz Cascade
4 oz Centennial
2 oz Chinook
2 oz Fuggle
2 oz Golding
2 oz Magnum
2 oz Organic New Zealand Hallertauer
Total hops = 16 oz or 1 lb
Total price = 43.75 with shipping.
Not too bad for a Wed night.
"Relax. Have a homebrew!"
That New Zealand Hallertau is nice imo.

Wash your CAR, we need the RAIN, please
Original post made by Ralph N. Shirlet, another community, on Jan 5, 2012
Let's encourage everyone, and another, to wash their cars so we know it will rain. You know! You wash your car and the next week it rains and messes up all your hard work. It's like a rain dance!!
It's a small sacrifice for your readers to simply wash their cars, and maybe a neighbor's car, so we can have some rain, snow, etc that we sorely need.
Come on now, wash your car, PLEASE

Angiogenesis and neovascularization are important mechanisms for tumor growth, progression and, subsequent metastasis. Cancer cells, as part of an inflammatory process, produce and induce multiple molecules (proangiogenic and antiangiogenic) from the surrounding stromal cells. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is the most relevant proangiogenic molecule among them. Many inhibitors of angiogenesis have been developed in the last years with the aim to block the tumor blood supply as a new anticancer strategy. Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF, has been already approved for its use in colorectal cancer showing prolonged disease free survival as well as overall survival. It shows also important activity in breast, lung, ovarian and kidney cancer. Many others inhibitors are in advanced clinical development and show promising results as well. Current basic and clinical research in this field is generating great expectations for the future of cancer treatment.

Kevin Costner has officially signed to play Jonathan Kent in Zack Snyder's (tentatively titled) "Man of Steel". Deadline says the "Dances with Wolves" and "Field of Dreams" star will join Henry Cavill, who is playing the title role, and Diane Lane, who is playing Martha Kent, his adopted mother in the 2012 release.
Update! : Latino Review hear it's indeed Jonathan Kent that Costner would be playing.
Kevin Costner in Zack Snyder's "Superman" movie?
Yeah, I can see that. In fact, I even like that.
Costner gets a bad rap, but seriously, how many grand films and performances has that man given us — "The Untouchables", "Field of Dreams", "Dances with Wolves", "Silverado".. Ya know, I think the problem with some of those films is that the high-concept plots (particularly in the case of "Waterworld") somewhat overshadowed Costner's performance and that results in the "Movie was good. Costner not so much" stance that some people started throwing about. It's also possible that Costner was simply overexposed there for a while – he was, after all, a bit of a go-to guy for every darn movie at one stage. I'll admit he was even cast in quite a few films that he wasn't appropriate for (like, er, "Robin Hood : Prince of Thieves").
But seriously, Costner is a great actor. If you've only seen seen the Costner of "Waterworld" or "3000 Miles to Graceland" you need to pick up "The Untouchables" or "Dances" tonight. Even "No Way Out".
But I digress, Deadline says Costner is being courted to star opposite Henry Cavill in the new "Superman" movie.
So, who would Costner be playing in the new "Superman"?
Perry White? Hmmm. Maybe that could work. Though I picture someone a little older…?
Jonathan Kent? Now that seems like the most logical choice. As one of my fellow webmasters just said (in an email conversation we were having), "Makes perfect sense that Elliot Ness would raise Superman. Same as President Bartlet raising Spider-Man."
Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Handheld steamers
I want to buy a handheld steamer, mostly to clean grout and countertops, and am trying to decide on which one to get.
There appear to be two types: some seem to have a hard wand and nozzle; others have a tube like a vacuum cleaner. Both types have attachments for different uses. I saw one at Costco that I like but it looks like it might be difficult to carry around.
Do any of you use these steamers and, if so, what are your preferences?
I have a "full-sized" Ladybug steamer, so not a hand held model.
Even with its extra power I don't find it makes cleaning (shower stall) grout or countertops any easier. There are some things that it does do well (steam clean an oven for instance, w/o chemicals). But as for the whole grout, mineral spots, countertop/faucet cleaning thing: in my experience that doesn't work better or easier than spray cleaners (even homemade ones) and a clean cloth.
What's missing from the steam-clean pitch is that steam doesn't really clean anything (nor at the temps achieved by consumer steamers, does it "sanitize" anything - though it will give you a painful burn if you aim it at your hand). The best it can do is moisten the surface to make it easier to wipe off. But vinegar and water spray does that, too. For instance, you can steam your toilet bowl and the outsides all you want, but you still have to wipe them down to remove any dirt. If you've got to do that, why not just spray with a non-toxic cleaner, wipe 'em and be done with it?
I don't have any tile or linoleum floors so I can't speak for its efficacy in those cases. Still even if "steams off" or loosens the gunk you're still going to be just smearing it around on the cloth on the wand until you change it. In that way it's no different than a regular wet mop, except you can't stick the head in a bucket of hot water and clean it off, you have to remove the cloth head and reattach another clean one.
My best advice is to ask around among your friends until you turn up smeone with a steamer and go and see it working before you buy one.
My own steamer is a high-wattage model that cost well over $1,000 (though I didn't pay that as I hunted down an open box unit). It generates high temp steam and a lot of it for a long time. A small hand held model would, I think, be even less effective.
I totally believed the ads and video promotions, to my regret.
My 'Bug does a excellent job of oven cleaning. (Though I have to point out that many here have said cleaning ovens with steam is a bad idea because of the risk to the oven's electronics. Fortunately my old commercial range has no electronics, so I'm good, but YMMV.) I also use it for steaming off the crud from my bunny cages. I use it to steam off paint when I'm stripping wooden windows before re-glazing and painting. And I use it during the summer when I wash my three-coat plaster walls which can take the application of steam. Of course it would be a disaster if used on sheetrock.
The steamers are also sold as fabric, curtain and upholstery cleaners. You may have had that professionally down. But the Pro equipment has an extractor nozzle which both generates steam and then sucks the vapor off into a waste cannister removng some dirt. Home steamers only generate steam, so nothing really gets clean, even if the wrinkles go away.
Thanks so much for your very thorough answer. Makes me think that maybe I don't want a handheld steamer after all. I have a Shark steamer for my floors which I find very effective (and strangely I have never found a mop that I like as much as I like the steamer) but maybe I will just stick with that and not worry about the handheld.

Ikea Pax system in hall closet and linen closet
I'm considering using Ikea's pax wardrobe system in a large hall closet (about 7 1/2') and two hall linen closet.
Any experience from anyone who has used them on how they have held up long term? Or any other general advice regarding going this route
Also, I think Ikea has annual sales on the pax system like they do for their kitchen stuff. Any idea what time of year that tends to be held?
It can be done, but it can be tricky. You need to think about how you will get the system into the closet. How tall is the system versus the door into the closet? How will you handle the baseboard? How big are the returns on either side of the door and how does that impact building the units and then getting them into the closets? Are you prepared to hack them if the closet isn't quite big enough?
If it's INSIDE a closet, I wouldn't do something like the PAX system. The PAX system has doors and, in my opinion, is intended for situations where the storage goes directly in a room. Also, it only comes in set heights/widths so if your closet dimensions don't add up perfectly you'll end up having a lot of wasted corners/height.
I would recommend something like "California Closets" or one of the knock off brands. We installed Easy Closets in all of the closets in our townhome and loved them so much we requested that our builder NOT install their standard shelving packages in our new house. I've already drafted up the plans for the Easy Closets systems for each of our new closets (all of the bedrooms and the mudroom closet).
My main question is whether anyone has used the pax system, and how it has held up in the long term.
dekeoboe & Minneapoliste
It is a new build, so returns, height and baseboards are not an issue. I would ensure the space is built to fit in with the dimensions of the cabinets (it is within inches as it is).
My designer wanted me to use cabinets but I thought it would be too expensive, though, I love the idea of incorporating cabinets instead of a closet as that way there will be no returns and I can better utilize drawer options in the bottom of the space.
One of the spaces is within the mudroom and I'm likely going to use Ikea cabinets there, and it would all fit together well. I really like some of the pax door options, and they are reasonably priced in comparison to other closet door options.
As for California closets, it is about 4-5X the price so that is out of the question. Is Easy Closets more affordable?
GH's link for a review:
They review a few at different price points. I have purchased some awsome IKEA products. My favorite is a long bench I put on wheels and my kids use this everyday with toy bins underneath. It is laminated and very easy to clean and sturdy. If you near an IKEA spend a day and feel the products as every product is on display. I have seen some not so quality items but for the price....
Are you and IKEA family member? They give monthly discounts and offers via e-mail and you can log on to the website for the current offers at each store. Most of the systems are 2 person jobs though so make sure you recruit help. Good Luck with your decision!
We have the Pax system in our master closet - no doors. It is 3 years old and we haven't had any issues.
Here is a link that might be useful:
We also used PAX in our master closet and DD's closet. We used the tower portion, without doors to have flexible shelf and drawer space. Between the towers we installed plain closet maid rods and double rods. We just cut the rods so they terminated exactly where the PAX tower began. I'm not home right now, but I can snap a pic later. By mixing the two systems, we got the customized drawer space for much less than using the cheapest systems at Lowes.
Thanks westiegirl, I'd love to see the photos! Adding another rod may solve the issue I just encountered as I just got updated plans back from my builder, and the closets in question have changed size so this may not work as easily as I expected.
Does anyone know where you can buy nice 8' tall sliding closet doors, something a bit different than the standard white ones? I love the ones offerred by both ikea, and California closets...
Ok, here are pics of DD's very messy closet. I snapped them quick and didn't tidy up anything! The closet is a small walk in (6'x6'). One wall has the door, two walls have the PAX tower, with double rods on either side, and the last wall has a single high rod running it's length.
It is not the most high end option, but it gave us all of the functionality we were looking for, at a reasonable price. The configuration has held up well over the past year with a 6 year old who likes to play in her closet and is not very careful with things!
dekeoboe - I won't have a copy of the updated plans until later in the week, but I'll post them when I have them!
For the larger closets, if I don't go with the Ikea options then I'd like to find closet doors that have three panels that slide over to either side so you can access more of the closet, and have the closet built without returns.
For the smaller closet (it is only 4') I'd love to just have cabinet style doors on the front, so again, no returns.
No idea where I will find reasonably priced doors in either of these styles though!

Providence, dodgy parks & A LOT of jack o lanterns
... from the dodgiest park full of drug dealers! After dark we got our halloween on and walked around a pumpkin display thingy held at the zoo. As you'd expect it was very americanised with **** loads of snack stalls. We tried some 'pumpkin spiced ale' which neither tasted of pumpkin or spice but was festive! The carved pumpkins certainly rivalled my 'here's Johnny' from last year! Last but not least...on to ...

Obviously these were really old (and sexist) superstitions but I wonder how many people avoid that gate anyways. We spent the evening in a McDonalds using their wifi and managed to only get a coffee. Yes that's right, we spent like 4 hours in a McDonalds but we didn't eat anything. That's some crazy willpower. We spent the evening at the Cranston ...

If In Doubt, Take Shelter In A Mansion
... for my own home! The rain was still a pain in the backside but it had eased up slightly and so I decided to walk a bit of the famous Newport Cliff walk. It picked up just at the end of the road which led to the Breakers, of Bellevue Avenue and the walk backed onto many of the old and contemporary mansions. I kept coming to dead ends where the cliff walk had fallen away to erosion Which perhaps is only addressed when it reaches the perfectly green, mowed lawns and grounds ...

« I'm not leaving, » he says but his skin already feels like a memory under my fingertips. I can see the stars, like I always did, in the depths of his eyes but instead of feeling like I am home, they seem too far away from me. He smiles softly and I can't help but think about the moon, so bright and beautiful, yet so out of reach.
I think of the past few years, of our daily dates, me sitting on the balcony, him flying just above my head and I wonder when I became so used to him. All of him. He's anything but ordinary, yet he has been a part of my life for so long and I feel guilty for not telling myself, everyday, how lucky I was.
« Hey…" he whispers softly and panic takes over me because his face is blurry and all I can hear is goodbye. It's only when I finally blink that I realize I am just crying. He erases tears, one by one, long fingers as soft as they always were.
I don't want to let him go but I can see in his eyes, I can see in his everything that he doesn't want to either. Things are happening that both of us can't control and I know that if we can't help it, at least, we can be there for each other. Now, I'm the one erasing tears.
"I was there in the beginning," he adds, "I'll be there in the end." It hurts me to hear the interrogation behind the words, it hurts me to see the doubt in his eyes so I nod. I nod as quickly as I can.
"Of course," I reply. "You're the galaxy, aren't you?"
He smiles, corners of his lips slower than ever to move upwards, but I take this as a victory. I can see it now. How bright and tall he is. I can see the constellations he drew himself and I can see his bravery. I feel grateful because of all the balconies in this world, he chose mine to land on every night. I feel grateful because people like him are not supposed to exist but he does. He does, for me.
"You know", he finally breaks the silent, looking already half gone, "you spent so much time looking at the sky… Don't even think the stars didn't get printed in your eyes. You took a part of me with you and… maybe I won't be there in the end. Who knows? But you will, won't you? You will be there so… I will be too."
It's hard now to tell where the horizon ends and where he begins. The curves of his body are getting so dark that they slowly fade away in the night sky. He smiles one more time and opens his arms. I know this isn't his last smile and it makes me so damn happy because he has the more celestial smile I've ever seen but I also know this will probably the last smile of him I'll ever see. My tears leave traces on his chest as I hug him closer. Now, he's taking a part of me too, but it's okay because I want him to. I want him to draw new constellations with everything I gave him, I want him to fly in the night sky and decide, one day, to land on one particular balcony. He can change lives and I want to give him the strength to keep doing it.
"I'm not leaving…" he whispers and then, he's gone.
"No, you're not…"

This should be available to listen to anywhere in the world, with no restriction on country.
Abby/Amy and Zara were first introduced in Big Finish's Fifth Doctor Key2Time trilogy, and this continues their story. But I wouldn't say listening to those first is necessary, as this is very much its own thing.
(A very strong warning for sexual assault and abuse, though.)
what pisses me off about taehyung is that he's a fucking dork like 70% of the time then the other 30% of the time is him seducing the fuck out of you in mv's and concert shots

and you're just sitting there wondering how they're even the same person jfc
why do you make life so difficult for me
princewilfredspencer asked:
Walking over to Hikari Wilfred let out a small sigh "I hate Lyla." He muttered to himself as he gave her a small, forced smile "She read your tags... Apparently I'm a rabbit now." He had on a pair of white ears along with a small fluffy ball on his butt to be his tail.
((I'm gonna say it again Ilu oh so very much ♡♡♡))
Placing her hand over her mouth to hide the amused smile on her face Hikari cleared her throat a little and walked over to him to reach up and pet his ears with a smile. "You know, these ears really suit you. It's such an adorable look on you that I just don't know what to do with it. I'm sorry she shoved you in it, but I really like it…" She smirked a little and kissed his cheek.
You beg me whilst breaking up with me that we be friends… I try to be your friend and now you can't even be bothered to talk to me… I am so angry and frustrated at myself for loving you. I put my ALL into our relationship and then when we broke up I tried to be your friend because I couldn't lose you completely and I thought you didn't want to lose me completely, oh how I was wrong. I just want to scream and cry out of anger and sadness and I just want my best friend who can't even reply to me… EUGHHHH! Someone help me please, I can't take much more of this thinking bullshit.
I'm conflicted between desiring the intimate touch of someone and wanting to keep as far as possible from anyone and everything.
After he left…after what happened, I made a mistake. I went out that next weekend, got VERY drunk, and made out with someone. "Harmless". But not for me. He pushed himself so close and his hands kept roaming and grabbing all over my body. At one point during this groping he said "God, I love your ass" and even in my drunken state, this saddened me so much. My immediate thought as he said this had been, "You sound like him…great." The following thought was, "That really is all they care about…this really is all they want from me, isn't it?" I was so sad by this…
Tonight I went to the movies with a guy I haven't seen in years. He was coincidentally the first guy (on my very short list of guys) that I had ever made out with. It was completely random, but I went nonetheless and actually had fun. It was all innocent until I went to hug him outside my car. He ended up grabbing me and kissing me. One hand tightly on my waist and the other on my ass. He was a good kisser so I allowed this for a moment. It went from me laughing in disbelief as I drove away to slowly growing quiet and, once again, sad, because there had been a hidden agenda there the whole time. There had the first time he'd kissed me three years ago, and the drunken mistake after my breakup had also been plotted about a week in advance.
I crave physical contact but at the same time, when it's happening, I pretty much just end up feeling shitty about myself. Instead of it being a self esteem booster like "Yeah, these people want to be all over me" or "Yes, I'm getting the physical stuff I've been wanting!!", all I can keep thinking is "this is all I am".
I know I'm so much more…I just can't seem to accept it again just yet. I know this mentality is part of the scar he left….I'm still trying to figure out how to not love him. How to not miss sleeping in his bed at night or think of all the plans we'd been making…The hurt of knowing in the end, that all I was to him was essentially a piece of ass, that his view of me changed one day from me being amazing and him caring about my well-being, to matching those of random guys that mean nothing to me…nothing is more degrading.
So for the moment, physical activity is ruined for me. He ruined it. Because now my view is that my worth is centered around my body. Not my intelligence, my creativity, kindness, ambition, my passion for my future…because nobody seems to care about any of that. This is the third time in a month my body has been the basis of my worth. I'm tired of feeling like they're right even though, deep down, I know it's not true.
I'm tired of writing long-ass Tumblr posts at 2:45 in the morning while eating half a pizza because the memories of him keep me up at night. I'm tired of not being able to focus on my studies, the most important thing to me, because everything seems so much more dull without him here. I'm tired of not even realizing I'm listening to sad music because my subconscious apparently wants something present to parallel how I feel.
I'm so damn tired…
and now my mom thinks that my cat is sick and my cat is bleeding and i don't know what I did I hate this I hate this so much
Ooo. Ooo. So one thing that pissed me off about my last DAI playthrough was the fact that even though I imported my Keep and it told me it uploaded and imported right, it didn't import anything, just gave me options for if the default DA story was uploaded…but it looks like for my hard playthrough it uploaded right, because Varric mentioned Bethany this time instead of Carver, I'm so excited to have my custom Hawke I love her and I'm so eager to get there but since it's on a hard difficulty I'm going slow and just UGH I want to jump to the good stuff NOW.
I swear if it wasn't for Jim and Pam I wouldn't watch The Office

Running Head: ADMINISTRATOR Administrator Challenges within the Police Department University of Phoenix CJA/454 December 3, 2011 John Parroccini Administrator Challenges The job requirements of a criminal justice administer in the United States can be extremely demanding. The three foremost areas of criminal justice include the police, courts, and corrections. As an administrator overseeing the police department would be indeed the hardest of the three. Within a police department the chief of police would be the top administrator and in command of administrating the departments policies to officers, detectives, and supporting staff. This paper will discuss the roles of a chief of police and the negative and positive aspects he or she may endure. Administrator of a Police Department As an administrator of a police department, the requirements are more than just ensuring the officers follow the policies of that department. It requires the individual to be knowledgeable of federal and state laws, budgets, and public relations and must be able to communicate in a competent fashion in a written and oral manner and be a critical thinker. Other challenges a chief of police can face are ensuring the officers are well trained and have the proper equipment to do his or her job while out on patrol. A chief of police must be an ethical individual and an unbiased individual. Not fulfilling these requirements could result in a crisis situation within the department. The police department is not the only place a crisis can occur when the chief of police is not fulfilling his or her job as described in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. police is not fulfilling his or her job as described in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement....

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Why our terminal shouldn't be terminated
When Serena Keshavjee first arrived in Winnipeg from Toronto 15 years ago, she wasn't expecting what she found.
No, not our open and friendly manner or even our open, clear-blue Prairie sky.
As the assistant professor of history at the University of Winnipeg writes in her engrossing book, Winnipeg Modern Architecture (1945-1975), what she expected to find was the national historic site that is our turn-of-the-century Exchange District.
But what she also spotted, scattered all over the city, was another architectural treasure trove known as mid-century modernist; the likes of which most Winnipeggers drive past every day but wouldn't recognize if they landed at what is arguably its most important example.
Which most of us have.
The cover of Keshavjee's book features a black-and-white winter photo of that example, our airport terminal, which is appropriate given the black-and-white extremes of the controversy that has enveloped it.
It's a terminal that has been declared terminal.
"When the Winnipeg airport terminal opened in 1964," writes book contributor Bernard Flaman, "it was hailed as one of the most remarkable structures in the city... . Spacious, sophisticated and modern, it fed the romantic expectations of air travel in the early days of the jet age."
Not only that, but it was one of a series of Canadian airport terminals built by Ottawa, in the same basic style, between 1958 and 1968.
"These extraordinary efforts represented a desire on the part of the federal government to convey a thoroughly modern and up-to-date national image that would serve as an introduction to the foreign traveller," Flaman writes.
Now, it's the last one standing.
Yet, the Winnipeg Airports Authority wants to bulldoze the old building now that the new and modern-in-its-own-way James Richardson International Airport terminal is set to open next door.
And the WAA seems to have lots of people who'd be happy to climb behind the controls and help them.
"They put out a request for proposals on this place years ago," one pal told me. "and no one gave a s .
"Now, all of a sudden, it's some historic landmark? Bulldoze the thing. It's brutal. It's always been brutal."
The WAA did put out requests for proposals years ago, that's true.
The part about no one caring, no one pitching a proposal and that suddenly it's a historic landmark isn't true.
The WAA's spin is enough to make you dizzy. It claims that despite years of trying, it hasn't been able to attract a "viable" someone who could create an alternative use for an airport that's too structurally crippled to be rehabilitated.
It's hard to believe.
If it were so feeble and so hopeless, why did the WAA even try to find a use for the old terminal?
And five years ago, when it did find someone -- in the person of a heavyweight local developer such as Shelter Canadian Properties Ltd., president Arni Thorsteinson -- why did the WAA brand his proposal as not viable?
What's wrong with Western Canada Aviation Museum using part of the building and turning over the rest to revenue-generating commercial development, as a feasibility study recommended and Thorsteinson appeared ready to do?
Instead, the WAA is preparing to spend millions of dollars -- that we the travelling public supply -- to demolish the old airport, while the museum appears content to tell visitors all about our storied high-flying past in a new building erected on the old site.
Instead of a building that's a part of that past.
Make sense to you?
My sense of it is the WAA simply wants something shiny and new to match its shiny and new terminal.
But, in its own way, the old airport terminal is better than new. It has not only seen almost every famous and accomplished person to visit our city since the mid-1960s, it's a VIP in its own right.
Back in the mid-20th century, Ottawa also meant the airport's architecture and the commissioned art therein to be something else. A unifying force.
Now it's the last one standing.
It's historic and architecturally unique -- and it's ours.
My testy pal, the one who'd like to climb behind the bulldozer controls, would counter this way:
"I am glad this city isn't run by the experts in architecture. We'd still have Eaton's on Portage."
Eaton's was the original big-box store, not a national architectural gem.
Of course, our city isn't run by architects. It's run by people who wouldn't know what vision is if you pointed it out to them from the airport control tower.
And by people who can't seem to see our past as our future, too.

Up&more: vote for your style
Choose between two trends. The alternatives are already avant-garde, what changes is the style. up&More is not just a simple game; it is there to challenge you and the other members of the community. An open page where new trends are set thanks to the weight of your votes and how original your sense of taste is.
Which side are you on?
Paper or cement?
Here we go again with materials. Emotional, evocative, functional. In one word: surprising. "Drop Paper Pulp Lamp" by Crea-Re Studio is inspired by a love poem by Alan Sorrentini entitled "Aria". Dragos Motica Studio instead draws from quite an opposite field, construction materials, sublimating them in "Slash Lamp" designed for Ubikubi into a poem of light. Which shines the brightest?

Fiction or documentary?
Just like after dinner when you're choosing whether to end your day with a movie or a documentary, in the morning you can opt for a watch that is as essential as it appears surreal – like "Pebble 03" by Bulbul – or as detailed and classic as "203 Series", by Uniform Wares. Which one "ticks" all the boxes for you?
voting closed 04/11/2014

On foot or by race car?
Speed is a relative concept, even when seated. With its sharp angles, "Chess Arm Chair" by Anna Karlin is inspired by chessmen. Whereas "Halo" by Michael Sodeau is the first chair in the world to be made of Hypetex, a high-tech carbon fiber used in Formula 1. What's your ideal pace?

Acrobat or tightrope walker?
Taken from collection "Chaotic Love", this coffee table by Swedish Ninja is intent on performing a balancing act atop 4 spheres. Instead "Tavolino Max" by Benjamin Hubert walks a fine line, or rather 4, to stay on top. The circus is almost complete: choose which your applause goes to.

Accented or subtle?
The classic Anglepoise Type75™ lamp becomes a white canvas colored by the creativity of two designers. Paul Smith chooses bright color-blocked hues. Benjamin Hubert instead only sprinkles a hint of paint. His lamp was sold at an auction to raise money for children's charities. Which version do you prefer?

Do You Need VoIP Now?
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Firms building green field projects now almost routinely add VoIP capabilities to their data networks. But not as many SMEs are uprooting their working network servers and call centers to enable VoIP in their enterprises. Why the difference? The ROI that VoIP offers isn't there yet, but it should be in the future.
