This is the second Nova GetGo Classic Rolling Walker I've ordered for my mother. I ordered her first one a few months ago and she had me order her a second one within the past month (one to keep upstairs in the house and the other to keep downstairs to take outside for shopping, eliminating having to carry one walker up and down the stairs to use - a safety hazard). She likes how easy it rolls over uneven surfaces and especially likes the seat and the small compartment under the seat. The small compartment makes it easier for her to shop with the walker. The quality of the walker is great. She would highly recommend this walker to anyone!
We were pleased that the walker was well represented by the description and image on the website. It was very easy to put together. It is for our teen daughter and is well built. I feel confident I got my money's worth with this product.
I chose this particular rolling walker because of the color choices and the price. I am extremely satisfied with the quality. It does everything well. The pocket under the seat is extremely handy and I use it all the time. One problem I have with this is the width of the seat. It just fits even though I don't exceed the weight requirements. It is a little difficult to get out of as it wants to stick to my rear end. The other problem I had was the plastic stop that keeps the walker from opening fell off and is lost. It makes it a little more difficult to put away since it wants to keep opening. Check the seat width carefully before buying your walker and tie a string to the plastic stop.
I love my walker. I do not have to use it much anymore but keep it around for when I do need it.
This walker is exactly what my father in law needed. He is currently finishing rehab and does not want to feel old at his current age of 90. He has the ability to sit when fatigued and I have seen these walkers in retail stores for up to 150 dollars so this is an exceptional value on Overstock.com. ***
I bought this for my Mom, it was SO fast recieving it after placing the order.. I gave it to my Mom and she was very impressed with the style and the lovely feminine color. She is the first one in her group with a mauve pink walker..everyone else has the typical colors.. and she really likes the light weight and ease in it folding up to take along on shopping outings. I also got the cupholder and attached it for her, and now she is all set.. hopefully it will give her many years of medical aide in helping her remain as independent as possible..
When I was told that I would need to use a walker, I was conflicted.....since I am young....all the walkers I looked at seemed so bulky...and there were no color choices. While doing other shopping on Overstock.com, I took a chance that they sold walkers....wasn't I pleasantly surprised to find the Nova....in fun colors at an amazing price! I ordered with standard delivery....but was pleasantly surprised to have my new walker delivered in 2 days! Came right out of the box easily and with little assembly....not requiring tools! The biggest advantage to this walker is the ease to fold and store....it's so lightweight that I can maneuver it myself! When people stare, its often followed by a compliment on how pretty my walker is! I highly recommend this walker....you won't be disappointed!

KTM PowerParts
Extra-orange, top-quality and cutting edge technology
Not only a visual highlight, but also high-end technology: the CNC-machined KTM triple clamps are made from the highest quality aluminum. The flexibility and rigidity of the triple clamp, pivot tube and KTM WP fork are specially set up for optimal performance. This very precise response characteristic is assured by the optimal alignment of the fork tubes. In addition, the factory triple clamps have other advantages - such as the super simple, offset setting for extraordinary stability on fast straights or for easier, faster turning in corners. Additional stability is provided by spindling the fork clamp after anodizing and the special inclusion of the pivot tube, which as far as possible prevents rotation in the triple clamp.
Available in orange and black.
On the road with the 690 Duke and its matching touring gear
Spring is already here, and the 690 Duke is on the market. So what can be better than to start that first getaway if not a small day trip or an extended tour? Nothing could be easier with the 13-liter KTM side cases and matching side case frames, already well known from the SM T. Both the side cases and the matching carrier fit perfectly into the Duke's silhouette. The side cases come complete with waterproof inner pockets and are super simple and quick to attach thanks to the very stable carrier especially developed for KTM. So let's go!
KTM PowerWear
Up-to-the-minute Offroad style: KTM Freeride Combi
The KTM Freeride 350 is on everyone's lips right now since the Freeride press launch. And KTM PowerWear is equally impressive with the new matching KTM Freeride outfit – made up of a KTM FREERIDE SHIRT and PANTS – specially developed to match the new bike. The special features and design details offer exceptional comfort and mobility, ideal ventilation, enhanced heat protection and much more. A zipper easily converts the pants into a pair of shorts. In addition to the significant features and trendy look, it is also KTM's cooperation with O'Neal, a specialist for mountain bike, motocross and Freeride clothing that makes this combination a well thought-out and coherent extension of the off-road range.
Girls welcome!
It's not only the men among us that are passionate about motorcycles. There are also many female enthusiasts. And just for them, KTM has a matching T-shirt - the new GIRLS MOTO LOVERS TEE: a combination of playfully romantic lettering on a melange effect fabric with the significant claim "Moto Lover". It not only appeals to the girl racers amongst us but to those who are their KTM-riding boyfriends' biggest fans.
A wish list for the Easter Bunny or even better: Gifts for loved ones
Easter is just around the corner. And the KTM accessories collection has a wide range of hip, witty and tasteful gift possibilities that you can put on your wish list for the Easter Bunny – or even better, give them as gifts to those you love.
The KTM-style HEADPHONES, for example, are not only comfortable to wear and compatible with all devices with a 3.5 mm stereo plug, but more importantly provide the desired top of the range sound.
The new spring collection this time features a pair of 'pure girl' sunglasses. Super trendy in design and white gold in color, they also have non-breakable lenses and UVA, UVB and UVC protection for all eventualities.
The perfect Easter gift for the little ones is the KTM TEDDY MINI. Only 12 cm tall, it easily fits into any Easter basket and is comes with its own KTM offroad racing outfit, including boots. This teddy is the ideal key ring pendant and can be easily slipped onto any key ring or kindergarden- or school bag.

Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors. Read all of NFPA's grillling safety tips and download our free safety tip sheet.
Use our grilling infographic
NFPA has created a grilling infographic (PDF, 1 MB) for you to use on your website, blogs, Facebook and Twitter. Just download the graphic and place wherever you want to use it. Please link to this cooking information page at www.nfpa.org/grilling.
Be sure to use safe grilling practices as the peak months for grilling fires approach – June and July. Gas grills constitute a higher risk, having been involved in an annual average of 7,200 home fires in 2007-2011, while charcoal or other solid-fueled grills were involved in an annual average of 1,400 home fires.

ESPN SportsCenter anchor Hannah Storm talks about surviving a grilling accident.
Video: Hannah Storm talks about home fire safety. Download audio clip.
In December 2012, Hannah Storm was badly burned while preparing to cook dinner for her children. After wind blew out the flame, propane gas pooled on her grill and became an explosive fireball when Storm attempted to re-ignite it. Only the instinct to close her eyes upon seeing the flame saved her corneas, but her face, neck, chest and hands suffered first- and second-degree burns.
According to NFPA, flammable or combustible gas or liquid was the item first ignited in half of home outdoor grill fires.
Storm feels that it is "important to tell and share this story because it was a very simple mistake that I made, but it was a very common mistake. People all over the world grill and they grill all the time, and most of the people that I know really don't understand the proper procedures…"
"Fires and burn injuries are not only traumatic for the person, but for the family and community as well," says Lorraine Carli, vice president of Communications at NFPA. "Hannah is very courageous to share the personal details of her fire experience and burn injury to remind the public to take steps to prevent fires and avoid injuries."

Not worth it
Written by: Canadianclub
06. december 2014
1/5I bought this a month ago very difficult to take out not worth the price. After purchasing this on line with credit card two days later credit card company called stating someone has been using my card. Kind of fishy since this was the last place I used my card.
Decent design - poor execution
Written by: Jonas
11. november 2014
2/5Hard to see to click the car seat in place - especially in the front when you're trying to fit the metal car seat tabs in the adapter slots. Plastic sleeves that cover the two side prongs are not great. One was drilled off-center so that it is very difficult/impossible to click the adapter in place on the stroller unless you take the plastic sleeves off, and then it's so loose that it feels insecure. We have a "Sport" stroller.
Must have.

5/5Did the job perfectly and effortlessly. It's a must have. Loved it.
Super Simple, Worth the Money
Written by: Rebekah
25. september 2014
4/5I purchased this item a few weeks ago, after a couple of months of transferring my baby from the car seat to the stroller and I wish I had purchased it much sooner. Its super easy to install and the Graco Snug Ride fits it perfectly. Now I don't have to wake my baby up to transfer him from the car to stroller, definitely recommend this item.
Great adaptor
2/5This adaptor is great, it turned my stroller into a snap n go!! There are some adaptors out there for this stroller that involve strapping the car seat into the stroller and they looked very complicated, but this was easy to install, I am even able to fold it up and put it in my van with out removing the adaptor. This is a must buy!

BSD at FOSDEM, what a disgrace.
FOSDEM means Free and Open Source Developer's European Meeting which is something "Free"BSD isn't.
Shows that they are nothing more then a bunch of retards. C/C++11 is fully supported on gcc4.6 yet they decide that they should waste for time on improving C/C++11 on useless clang.FreeBSD is just shipping GCC 4.2.1 (the last GPLv2 FSF GCC compiler release) and are deprecating the compiler so they aren't really concerned about the GCC support for C++11/C11.
Support for C/C++11 in Linux is far superior so why focus on BullShitDaily when there's an OS that aready does the job and does it far better.However, there is still lots of missing pieces for C/C++11 on FreeBSD that still need to be implemented.

Full StoryPRESS RELEASE
Cisco Announces Intent to Acquire Remaining Interest in Nuova Systems
Acquisition complements Cisco's 'Build, Buy, Partner' innovation strategy in support of Data Center 3.0 vision
HONOLULU (Cisco Partner Summit 2008) - April 8, 2008 - Cisco® today announced its intent to purchase the remaining 20 percent interest in San Jose-based Nuova Systems, a start up focused on the development of next-generation products for the data center market. Cisco today also introduced the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series, the first product developed by Nuova. The Cisco Nexus 5000 is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet "top-of-rack" switch that offers unified fabric capabilities through the support for multiple data center networking protocols and software intelligence (Refer to related press release).
Prior to the acquisition, Nuova operated as a majority-owned subsidiary of Cisco, which had invested $70 million and owned 80 percent of the company. Cisco announced its initial investment in Nuova in August 2006 and announced an amendment to the agreement in April 2007 that expanded the development scope, increased the funding commitment and raised the maximum potential payout of the transaction to $678 million.
The Nuova transaction is success-based with the total value primarily determined by the revenue of Nuova products over three measurement periods. The first measurement period will commence in early fiscal year 2010, the second measurement period will commence in late fiscal year 2010, and the third measurement period will commence in mid fiscal year 2011.
The Cisco investment and Nuova subsidiary structure allowed both companies to collaborate actively in the development of the Cisco Nexus 5000 through technology sharing, product evolution and driving overall market acceptance of innovative data center technologies. As a result the Cisco Nexus 5000 is designed to be fully interoperable with the recently introduced Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches through the sharing of a common product architecture, operating system and other software intelligence. The Cisco Nexus 7000 is an internally developed, modular data center-class switching system designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks offering industry-leading performance scaling up to 15 terabits per second.
"To succeed in today's marketplace and effectively deliver on our business strategy to capture key market transitions, Cisco drives a combination of internal R&D, industry partnerships and corporate development activities," said Ned Hooper, senior vice president, Corporate Development and Consumer and Small Business Group, Cisco. "In many ways, the efforts supporting our Data Center vision are great examples of this 'build, buy, partner' innovation framework in action."
Nuova was founded by Ed Bugnion, Luca Cafiero, Prem Jain, Soni Jiandani, Tom Lyon and Mario Mazzola. Bugnion is a former co-founder of VMware and Lyon formerly founded Ipsilion Networks. Cafiero, Jain, Jiandani and Mazzola are all former Cisco executives. All six founders and the company's approximately 200 employees in San Jose and in Beaverton, OR are expected to join Cisco to continue working on data center-related projects.
Nuova will operate as an independent business unit led by Cafiero, Jain and Mazzola who will all report into John Chambers, Cisco's CEO and chairman. In addition, to help ensure alignment with Cisco's development priorities, Jain has been appointed as the ninth member of the development council in Cisco's Development Organization, joining Tony Bates, Marthin DeBeer, Kathy Hill, Ned Hooper, Pankaj Patel, Don Proctor, Manny Rivelo and Jayshree Ullal.
"Cisco's decades of switching innovation and expertise have it well poised to be the architect of the next-generation, network-centric data center, a vision defined as Data Center 3.0," said Mazzola, who is president and CEO of Nuova Systems. "We expect the Nuova team to make significant contributions toward the realization of this vision through products and technology that help enable data center consolidation and virtualization, while protecting customers' current data center investments."
The acquisition is expected to close in Q4 of Cisco's FY 2008. It will be acquisition No. 126 for Cisco overall and the fifth one in FY '08.

- Matt Wilson <matthewwilson acm.org> Nov 18 2008
xTests is a testing library for C and C++. Specifically, it is a small, lightweight, portable, simple unit- and component-test framework suitable for exercising C and C++ libraries. Its primary design features are: - Portability. It relies on no platform-specific or compiler-specific constructs. The only library it relies on is the 100% header-only, open-source STLSoft library. It works with a large number of C/C++ compilers. Importantly, it is sufficiently simple and lightweight that it is bundled with several other open-source libraries, and is an integral part of their automated unit- and component-testing in their builds. - Simplicity. It doesn't require pre-processing of your source code by scripting languages. It doesn't use macros to create secret classes that use Schwarz counters to register test cases. It relies on you to simply code what you want, and nothing that you don't want. xTests is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style license. Release 0.9.2 incorporates: * added XTESTS_TEST_BOOLEAN_TRUE() and XTESTS_TEST_BOOLEAN_FALSE() * avoid precipitating warnings about unused return values Download from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=211081&package_id=253611 Discuss at: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=758473 xTests website: http://xtests.org/ Note: this release of xTests requires STLSoft 1.9.60, or later, available from http://stlsoft.org/

Jetman Yves Rossy gets up close and personal with Breitling Wingwalkers
Article Summary
We last checked in with Jetman Yves Rossy late last year when his attempt to complete the first intercontinental jetpack flight from Morocco to Spain unfortunately fell short. However, that setback hasn't deterred Rossy, who has spent the time since developing and testing a fast extracting pyrotechnic parachute and a lighter and more powerful jet-propelled wing. The new "delta wing" is designed to allow take-off from the ground and provide more freedom to realize aerobatic maneuvers, which no doubt came in handy on his latest airborne undertaking – performing some precision formation flying alongside the Breitling Wingwalkers.

ALICE'S ATTIC: Cootie Days guarantees a good time
What was more fun than going to Cootie Days, enjoying all the carnival rides and lots of different stands where you could win a a big teddy bear and all sorts of stuffed toys and other prizes by throwing balls or shooting a toy gun at ducks?Also, enjoying all the assortment of foods, candy cane probably being the favorite. The kids liked that the best so they could get it all over their faces and hands and be sticky for the rest of the night.As soon as school was out for the summer,our kids started to plan for the big event. We gave them an allowance for both nights, which was carefully doled out.Doug and Kim were allowed to go with friends, but, Scott and his little friends had to stick with us until they were older.We kept a close eye so they wouldn't get lost in the stream of people on the midway. Also, we chose the safest rides like the merry-go-round and little cars.Dave took them up in the Ferris wheel, and I would stand below and pray!Somewhere on the midway, there was loud screaming from the tilt-a-whirl and the loop-to loop, which I contributed to when a friend talked me into going on the loop-to-loop.Hanging upside down and not moving was not my idea of fun, and my laughing was from pure fright.Probably not as frightened as the time we decided to take Scott to the Sioux Empire Fair for our first and last time, after going on a killer ride that never ended.Scott and I were belted into the side of the ride, standing up, mind you, and the monster took off going up and down, side to side, backwards and doing all of this at 90 miles an hour. I yelled and yelled, "Let me off! Let me off!" But, to no avail. The only person who heard me was Dave who was standing below on the grass laughing, which came to an abrupt halt when the ride was finally over.I couldn't stand or walk, dropping to the ground, and at the same time telling Dave how much I loved him. I sat in the grass trying to get my bearings, also planning how I was going to kill the operator of the ride. Maybe tie him permanently in the loop-to-loop.So, I hope you all have as much fun as we did.

West Innes Exxon to be razed, site sold
Published 12:00 am Thursday, June 27, 2013
A service station that's stood for nearly 60 years at the corner of West Innes Street and Mahaley Avenue will soon be a memory.
Superior Oil Co., which owns West Innes Exxon, has closed the business and plans to demolish building and sell the property.
Steve Jarrett, president of Superior Oil, said that's being done now because, among other things, it was time to replace the station's underground fuel storage tanks.
"We were going to have to tear up the lot anyway, to get the tanks out," Jarrett said.
And instead of spending more money to upgrade and replace them — a continual and costly process — the company decided to simply sell the property, he said.
Jarrett said the first order of business was to make sure there were no environmental problems with the property, and he doesn't suspect any.
With the tanks removed, the company will raze the building and market the lot. It will all take couple of months, and Jarrett said there are no plans yet for the site.
"I've had some parties talking to me about it, but it's just in the talking stages, nothing serious yet," he said. "I'm not going to do anything until I get it completely cleaned up."
Superior Oil opened the station in 1954 under the Crown banner, Jarrett said. And even with more recently built gas stations attached to convenience stores taking up two of the other three corners at the intersection, he said business remained good.
That may be because the West Innes Exxon was one of the last stations around to offer a full-service island, where a customer could wait in the car while an employee pumped the gas.
"I want to thank our loyal customers," Jarrett said. "I hate it for the employees, and I hate it for our customers, but unfortunately things change."

When Alexander the Great died at the age of thirty-two, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea in the west all the way to modern-day India in the east. In an unusual compromise, his two heirs—a mentally damaged half brother, Philip III, and an infant son, Alexander IV, born after his death—were jointly granted the kingship. But six of Alexander's Macedonian generals, spurred by their own thirst for power and the legend that Alexander bequeathed his rule "to the strongest," fought to gain supremacy. Perhaps their most fascinating and conniving adversary was Alexander's former Greek secretary, Eumenes, now a general himself, who would be the determining factor in the precarious fortunes of the royal family. James Romm, professor of classics at Bard College, brings to life the cutthroat competition and the struggle for control of the Greek world's greatest empire.
Excerpted from Ghost on the Throne by James Romm. Copyright © 2011 by James Romm. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
James Romm is James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Classics at Bard College. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers. He has written two books on the ancient Greek world, The Edges of the Earth in Ancient Thought and Herodotus, and edited Arrian's Campaigns of Alexander, part of the distinguished Landmark series of works by ancient Greek historians.
Why has the time period following Alexander the Great's death remained virtually untold?
Largely because Alexander is such a towering presence, and draws all the attention. Also, eras like that of Alexander, dominated by a single individual, are more attractive to historical authors than those that are not, because the structure of biography, a familiar and comfortable one, can be brought into play. The era following Alexander has an ensemble cast, with no dominant figure. That makes it a harder narrative for authors—but hopefully not for my readers!
Of Alexander's many generals who vied for power following his death, who did you find most compelling to write about? Did anyone surprise you during the course of your research for this book?
Eumenes of Cardia completely won my heart, and he is in many ways the hero of the book. I had never quite understood why a Greek, who was originally Alexander's secretary, played such a big part in the post-Alexander years. Learning the tangled tale of Eumenes' rise to power was one of the great joys I had while researching this book. Also, Eumenes was extremely clever, smarter than most of the Macedonians, and I find smart people naturally interesting.
The title of your book, Ghost on the Throne, refers to the great power Alexander's persona had, even in death. How did the generals try to channel this power?
The specific reference is to a ploy devised by Eumenes, following the model of his senior commander, Perdiccas. Eumenes set up Alexander's throne in a special tent and placed Alexander's royal gear on it, then met with his officers only in front of that throne. They would not accept him as leader without the implied presence of this spectral Alexander. It's a fascinating image, one that reveals the power Alexander exercised on the imagination of the age.
Had Alexander lived, do you think he would have been able to maintain control of his empire? Or had it grown too vast even for his giant personality?
That's a very difficult question. Alexander's character was changing at the time he died. It seems likely he was increasingly autocratic in his behavior, often drunk, and mistrustful of those around him. In a way he was lucky in the timing of his death, as it cut short what might have been a total degeneration. He might not have been able to hold things together for long, though perhaps long enough to secure a viable plan for succession.
There were also many strong female characters who fought for access to Alexander's throne through marriage or their children. Was this common for the time period? Who was the most successful in her bid for power?
You point to one of the features of this era that most appeals to me, the prevalence of strong women. The queens and princesses of the Argead royal family were remarkably scrappy and self-assertive. Ultimately none achieved her goals, but Olympias, Alexander's mother, came very close to success. Through sheer charisma and force of will, she got control of the throne and the Macedonian homeland, but failed to hold on, mostly due to her lack of good generals.
A major source of conflict involved racial relations, particularly in regards to Alexander's policy of intermarrying with the ruling classes of the Asian nations he conquered. Was Alexander the first European to promote such practices? Did it continue after his death?
Yes, Alexander was a revolutionary in this regard, and the example he set—arranged marriages between European men and Asian brides, for instance—was largely discarded after his death. But there were a few who carried the experiment forward, in a limited way. In my book I make the case that Perdiccas, Alexander's senior officer at the time of his death, supported his racial policies, principally in his support for the succession rights of Alexander's half-Asian son. Peucestas, a minor character in my book, learned the Persian language and wore Persian clothes, for which Alexander cherished him.
The city of Athens is a major character in Ghost on the Throne. How did the fallout after Alexander's death influence the development of the city state in the years to come?
The story of Athens after Alexander is a painful historical tragedy. The city had avoided a direct clash with Macedon for fifteen years, saving up its resources and training its youth in anticipation of the right moment. With Alexander's death, the moment had arrived. The Athenians staked everything on the rebellion of 323-322 and came agonizingly close to success. There would never be another moment for Athens with similar possibilities.
Not all Readers may be aware that Aristotle was Alexander's teacher as a boy. How was his life affected by the turbulence in Athens?
This is one of the murkier and more surprising elements of the post-Alexander story. Aristotle was in cahoots with the Macedonians for most of his life, though just how active he was on their behalf is not clear. Still, he was, in Athenian eyes, on the side of the enemy. His flight from Athens in 323, and possibly an earlier departure in 347 as well, were direct results of anti-Macedonian bias.
With the intense drama of this time period, one can easily picture an HBO series or motion picture being made. Have any films about Alexander touched on the time following his death?
No, but the final segment of Oliver Stone's film Alexander conducts a quick wrap-up of the fates of the principals, narrated by an aged Ptolemy, who had survived them all. I'm pleased by your mention of an HBO series because I was in fact influenced by the series Rome when I wrote Ghost on the Throne. I tried for the same vividness, panoramic scope, and depth of character portrayal that made Rome so successful, though of course the techniques are different when the story's on the printed page.
The circumstances of Alexander's death are still contested (including whether or not he was murdered). Has any new evidence in this "case" been discovered?
No new evidence, but an important new theory, which I am writing about now for Smithsonian Magazine. Recent toxicological studies have suggested that hellebore poisoning may explain Alexander's symptoms. Since hellebore, in low doses, was used as a medicinal purgative by Alexander, it's entirely possible he died from a drug overdose, or from medical malpractice. The research on this question is so new that I didn't deal with it in Ghost on the Throne, and in fact I make no effort there to identify the cause of Alexander's death. I was interested in the effects rather than the cause.
Are there any shadows of this conflict to be found today in the countries that were part of Alexander's empire?
There are many, especially following the fall of the Hussein regime in Iraq and the departure of Mubarak from Egypt. These dictators ruled the territories that Alexander once ruled, by way of a cult of personality similar to his. It remains to be seen how the region will develop after their departure, but the contemporary Middle East has the benefit of a democratic superpower exerting its influence. Alexander's empire was the world's superpower, so the power vacuum created by his death was much more damaging.

200M with Jaunty 32bit. Maximizing/unmaximizing has that curious 1-2 second delay. However, minimizing to the panel and restoring has no issues, and neither does manual window resizing (both of which are painfully slow with fglrx).
Has anyone noticed if the problem delay also appears with the open source drivers ?
200M with Jaunty 32bit. Maximizing/unmaximizing has that curious 1-2 second delay. However, minimizing to the panel and restoring has no issues, and neither does manual window resizing (both of which are painfully slow with fglrx).
OK, thanks. Looks like I need to upgrade to Jaunty then; I was going to go straight to F11 for KMS/GEM/TTM/DRI2...
Do you also have a ~ 1.5 sek delay when open the kde menu? And this delay is when compiz is turned off.
KDE4 is just horribly slow. On my laptop's 200M it's just murder (slow menu response, slow window transformation, slow window move). Both fglrx and open source drivers are slow, composite effects or not. When I had Intrepid on the laptop both fglrx and the open driver had similar performance (slow to acceptable). On Jaunty I can only use the open drivers for the 200M; overall performance seems to be slightly worse compared to Intrepid. Incidentally, on the 200M Gnome and Compiz run much better with the "Extra" effect preset than KDE4 with minimal effects (or no effects for that matter).
OK, I just updated to Ubuntu Jaunty, running the built-in open source drivers. Predictably, it runs fine, no apparent delays, although I'm running fairly fast hardware (RV570 aka X1950 Pro, quad-core Phenom, 4GB) so maybe that's a factor.
Is the current thinking that these delays are primarily seen with KDE, ie is my standard Ubuntu (Gnome) desktop not going to cut it ?
At the moment I only have my laptop's 200M to test the open drivers on. Generally, Ubuntu Jaunty is very responsive, and as I wrote earlier, even with Compiz on "extra" everything remains fluid. Only thing that's noticeable is that odd 2 second pause/delay when maximizing/unmaximizing windows (which is also present on my HD4850 with the latest fglrx).
Kubuntu is just slow all around with this same chip, effects on or not. Window minimizing, maximizing, restoring, moving, and even that delay when opening the menu. This same chip runs KDE3.5 just fine so it's odd that it crawls with KDE4, given how everyone goes on about KDE4 being more efficient on resources (which at least the memory footprint seems to indicate).

Amen to that!
On a personal note, I am wondering why none of the fglrx drivers released since version 8.42 onwards work properly on my shiny new HIS Radeon HD2600XT IceQ turbo AGP?
I have to disable DRI to make the driver work which totally defeats the purpose!
Aside from that, none of the catalyst 7-10 & later windows installers (I have a dual-boot PC) recognise the card under windows either, forcing me to manually install them after which they work properly.
I guess some insight into how ATI works together with OEMs to incorporate all the different versions of their cards / chipsets into the driver would also help?

The first installment of the Battle of the Beltways begins tonight at Camden Yards.
BALTIMORE — It's been four days since the Nationals last scored a run. Yes, four days. Not since Danny Espinosa belted a two-run homer against the Pirates in the eighth inning Monday night has a Nat crossed the plate.
They'll attempt to snap out of this funk tonight against their geographic, interleague rivals from the Inner Harbor. Because we're in an American League ballpark, both teams are using a DH. No, Jason Marquis is not going to hit for himself. Jim Riggleman was asked about that possibility last week when Marquis got two hits. The manager smiled but said no way would he sacrifice his DH for a pitcher.
So Matt Stairs gets a rare opportunity to get more than one at-bat in a game. Yes, he's 2-for-22 for the season. Yes, he's 43 years old. But if you're not going to use this guy as your DH in interleague games, why bother having him on the roster in the first place?
Plenty of updates to come all evening…

It took the DH rule to drop LaRoche to sixth in the order. I guess the AL is good for something.
- Section 222 - May 20, 2011 at 7:23 PM
Riggleman's comment is kind of humorous considering that he gave up his DH three times last year to let Willie Harris bat. But I'm ok with using Stairs as the DH tonight, and even tomorrow. If he goes 0-4 both nights though, Mark's quesiton is even more apt — why bother having him on the roster. If he can't produce as a PH and can't produce as a DH, then it's time for him to go.

After Stairs is gone, who will be the next scapegoat? Make no mistake, there will be one.

Personally, I would have flipped Ramos and LaRoche. That would have placated Riggs' penchant for the L-R-L-R lineups he likes to use.Also, I really think this is Stairs' last games in a Nats uniform. Once Ankiel is eligible to come back next week, they'll DFA Stairs (they need to keep Bernie at the leadoff spot).

- JD - May 20, 2011 at 8:24 PM
Stairs has hit the ball hard the last few times. Letting him have 4 or 5 at bats a game for 3 games is just what he needs. Don't be sure that he is getting released when Ankiel comes back; Bixler is still on the roster.But I agree that if Stairs does not get untracked in this series it may be time to call it a career. Desmond should take a page from Bernadina; even when he makes an out he is working the count; learn how to spoil good pitches and work the count. Quit making outs on the 1st 3 pitches.

Stairs and Ankiel are not really a part of this team's future. Bernie and Bixler are – if we're not going to hit or score anyway – we might as well use the guys that can still learn something from their experiences – let them play.

- Sam - May 20, 2011 at 10:42 PM
Is anyone else surprised that Mike Morse isn't getting any at-bats this weekend? I would say it's pretty obvious that he's one of the team's 9 best hitters. We are allowed to field 9 hitters tonight, including one who doesn't even have to field, and one of the best 9 is on the bench. Hmm…
- BinM - May 20, 2011 at 11:06 PM
Sam: Against a string of RH starters, who is Morse going to bump from the lineup? Nix (LF, bats LH); nope, better numbers offensively. LaRoche (1B, bats LH), possibly, but LaRoche is the superior fielder. Hairston (3B, bats RH); possibly, but I'm more suprised that Cora isn't at 3B tonight. Stairs (DH, bats LH); Not tonight, but maybe soon.
- FS - May 20, 2011 at 11:52 PM
Yes I would have played Morse instead of Stairs.I think Danny should bat in a position where he gets to bat with couple of men every time he comes up. I will check his stats with 2 men on.
- Anonymous - May 20, 2011 at 11:53 PM
BinM this is the point where double-switch happy Riggleman should put Morse/Bixler/Cora/IRod in at DH for Stairs. A 3 – 0 lead after a great at bat by Espinosa. Why? Because the guy can't run and will get picked off should he get on. If he does manage to get on I do hope Riggleman will pinch run for him.Let me just say that everyone seems to think he's lost? Every time I see Espinosa I see a guy adjusting to the bigs but definitely a future star. Now, in the case of Ian Desmond, an entirely different story. Sure he's hitting close to the Mendoza line but he's also a rookie switch hitter. We can only hope that we won't have to go through this as much with Lombardozzi. I really believe Espinosa will be a great one.But I have to say if I were picking I would be picking Espinosa to play short and someone new to play 2nd base.- peric

So Matt Stairs gets a rare opportunity to get more than one at-bat in a game. Yes, he's 2-for-22 for the season. Yes, he's 43 years old. But if you're not going to use this guy as your DH in interleague games, why bother having him on the roster in the first place?———————————————-GREAT question!He should have at least 12 PAs this series, probably a few more. If he can't muster at least a couple hits and walk you have zero incentive to keep him on this team when Ankiel gets activated. This is probably his job interview.Also, does Espinosa do anything but hit 3-run homers? He's got 6 HR, 4 of them 3-run homers, each time it was his only hit of the game (so far for this game). He only has 28 hits on the year, so almost 15% of the time he gets a hit, it's a 3-run homer.
- BinM - May 21, 2011 at 12:04 AM
Snags a soft liner, then shifts on the bag & saves a possible E from Hairston. That's why LaRoche is in the lineup, Ladies & Gentlemen; He just saves runs.

I don't even care that we don't have someone to bring up. Play with a 24-man roster. How do walk back to the bench there with your bat on your shoulder?I can't BELIEVE that AB. Just awful.

Espinosa's first at bat was a 10 pitch at bat finished with a homer. Have to agree with FP that was a ** at bat. Not only did he drive in three runs but he also ground down the pitcher. Espinosa is a switch hitter who is still learning. WOW! Riggleman really wants this win. He just pulled Marquis! But he needs to pull LaRoche and Stairs if he really wants to win at this point. You know Marquis has to realilze (and the "doh!" announcers? The pressure is on Riggleman and Rizzo right now. We don't know what Ted is saying to them but it makes ya wonder?

- FS - May 21, 2011 at 1:44 AM
just trying to remember. When was the last time we saw a Nats player show frustration in the clubhouse (i.e. throw towels, etc)?Also Mark, why dislike AL games? Is it because they tend to be longer? I got a little taste of that when I saw Seattle in town against Baltimore. Their 12-inning affair was the most boring match I have ever seen, despite some scintillating defense by Ms and walk-off win by Os.
- Mark'd - May 21, 2011 at 1:49 AM
I agree with the sentiment on Riggs screwing up. He probably knew it the second the lead went to 3 runs. Call that a quick hook between innings.
- Anonymous - May 21, 2011 at 1:51 AM
Given the way Henry Rodriguez has pitched, just like he was pitching in Syracuse, it looks like a good move by Riggleman. Gee, am I saying that? Marquis already had 89 pitches after 4. He would have used up the 10 fast and perhaps more runs to the O's. He was not having a good game. Whereas Henry Rodriguez made O's hitters look silly. Good move.Bat Espinosa third. He's either at the end or beginning of the lineup and he already is set up to drive in 100 runs. Who cares if he hits .220 as a rookie? I mean its better than "Stares", LaRoche … you get the picture. – peric

The only position in the line up with an o-fer is, guess who – Matt Stairs.He just can't catch up to the ball anymore. I know a lot of you are very angry about this – but really it's embarrassing and sad.
- Anonymous - May 21, 2011 at 2:03 AM
Stairs made the last out in the 1st, 3rd, 4th & 5th innings. Three innings in a row making the last out is impressive. Quick, call Stats, Inc. and see what the record is. Is it possible that a single player made the last out in four straight innings? Three seems very doable but four would be something.Whomever the next player to join the Nats roster is, [probably Ankiel off the DL], Stairs has just got to be the player let go.
- dj in Fl. - May 21, 2011 at 2:05 AM
Jason did not have it again tonight!89 pitches in 4 innings kept allowing the O's to close the gapNo O's offense in the 3 H.Rod innings!I Think Riggs decided not to let this game get away, and if he had not pulled Jason and they closed the gap again, everyone would still be beating Riggs up.A good move by Riggs that assured a win we really needed.

- Anonymous8 - May 21, 2011 at 2:08 AM
Marquis didn't have it because the defense let him down. Bernadina catches that ball and it is inning over. His pitch count jumped. He did labor in the 4th but got through it.
- FS - May 21, 2011 at 2:16 AM
WOW according to the gameday, HRod throws in high 90s, like 97-99 mph fastballs and his change up is 91 mph. I did not know that.And I would have done the same. Pulled Marquis out of that game, at that point. He could have easily put couple of runners on or reduced the lead and brought Os back into the game.15-5 Nats after Ramos homers. I hope they remember to score some in the following two games. And yes, Espinosa probably missed his shot at cycle after grounding out. Too bad but Nats are set to win.
- Anonymous - May 21, 2011 at 2:16 AM
@Anoymous8No one had to make any circus catches while Rodriguez was pitching. Marquis walked 3 hitters in 4. Most ended up crossing the plate with the 8 hits. Rodriguez did not walk a batter. The walks were what drew Riggleman's attention and Marquis had to know that … Riggleman did not look happy at all. Then there's the pitch count.Marquis did not have it tonight. His pitches were up showing that his control was spotty. He threw 89 pitches which is a pretty good work out for a starter. He had nothing to beef about.- peric

No problem here with Riggleman pulling Marquis. Yeah, ifs and buts, but the ball Bernadina dropped (how is that not an error??) was at the base of the center field wall. If not that inning, then the next one, he was getting lit up, and they do have a bullpen, unlike the O's.

Time for Riggs and McCatty to think about putting HRod into the rotation next year. He started there in the minors, then was switched to relief. He probably wouldn't hit his 101 mph all game long, like he did for 3 innings tonight, but right now he's being wasted in long relief. Three pitches that are all waaaaaaaaaaaay above-average.

Early in the game, Mike Flanagan asked FP, "what do you do to get out of a slump like this?"FP said something to the effect of, "well, you put your nose in there and do the right things, move runners over and you score some runs." Yeah.I didn't like the move with Marquis, but I didn't hate it either. He clearly didn't have his stuff and Riggs is paid to win games, not give his pitchers chances to pad their stats. If it had gone the other way, people would be calling for his head. Perfectly fine with his call.HRod, FINALLY, looking like a serious major leaguer. Until his last start, I thought Rizzo was thoroughly fleeced by Billy Beane. After tonight, I think it's a decent trade. Hopefully he can remain consistent, because then it will start to look really good.LaRoche drawing some walks, nice, still like to see a little more there, but holy crap salad, Matt Stairs needs to be released. They're not going to do it until Ankiel gets activated, but can we at least let him fester on the bench until then? I was willing to give him the series but after tonight I think it's done. Release him and move on FFS.

I LOVE the Marquis removal. There was no indication that he was going to stop giving up runs. Prudence required that he be removed from the game. Every time he had a chance for a shutdown inning after getting a lead, he gave up runs. It was a horrible performance.He didn't pitch well enough to win this game AND risk the team losing the game by his poor performance.
- Drew8 - May 21, 2011 at 3:57 AM
The game was great fun, but ol' Matt is buying the Stairway to Heaven. Gotta think he and Bixler will get bus tickets when Ankiel and Zim return.Speaking of offense, there have been some understandably cautionary comments here about the jump from Hagerstown to High A. Well, Potomac CF Eury Perez seems to be doing swimmingly.At Hagerstown last year he hit .299 with 64 steals. In 24 games at Potomac, he's hitting .356 with 14 stolen bases.Kid looks like a playa.

And that guy gets a hit!?!?I'm sure Rizzo went into this series and was like "let's see what he does with some ABs and see if he can put it together."But after tonight, I'll have to question his sanity in putting him back on the roster, let alone the lineup.

P.S. Robbie Ray had a third superb outing at Hagerstown, allowing 1 earned over 6.That's his only earned run in 17 innings pitched, for a sparkling 0.53 ERA.

My experience with Go-Parts was smooth and convenient. I was able to choose the mirror I needed with no problems for my 2003 mercury mountaineer. And another important factor is the price was right. I had looked other places online and in store and they were by far the most reasonable. I�m talking half off or more in some instances. I would definitely order again thru Go-Parts... a thumbs up from me!

Looking for Headphones?
Start shoppingVideo: Heartbeats by Lady Gaga headphones
The Heartbeats by LadyGaga are high-performance earbud headphones with a snug, comfortable fit and a fashionable look.
J.R.: So I got a chance to try out the Lady Gaga headphones and I gotta say I was pretty impressed. I put them on, I hit shuffle on the iPod and fixed dinner for about an hour listening to music and so I got to listen to a little bit of everything. I had some rock music playing. I had some techno. I think I listened to some Lady Gaga and even some country music. And so really ran the gamut and was really impressed with how they sounded good. They brought out subtle nuances in the music that you don't hear all the time as any good pair of headphones do and of course they had plenty of bass.
So these headphones come with five different size rubber ear tips which are good for accommodating just about any size ear. And that's nice because they make a nice seal inside your ear isolating the outside noise and keeping it out so your music sounds, you know, crystal clear.
They also have a flat wire so that this helps you avoid tangles as you go about your business while you're listening to your headphones. There's a remote on the cable which allows you to control the music on your iPhone and it also has a built in mic for hands-free calling.
If you buy from Crutchfield you'll get technical support for as long as you own your headphones. If you need more information on the Heartbeats by Lady Gaga go to crutchfield.com/LadyGaga. And if you need advice on buying headphones just give us a call or e-mail or chat with us online.
