A's seek sole possession of first in AL West
Oakland sends rookie Gray against Houston's Peacock in opener
With the A's taking two of three from the Rangers, including Wednesday's decisive 11-4 triumph, they have reclaimed a share of first place in the American League West.
Oakland was three games back last Thursday, but has won five of six since to draw even with Texas.
With the Astros coming to town Thursday for a four-game set, it's a perfect opportunity for manager Bob Melvin's club to continue its chase for a second straight division title.
A series-opening win over the Astros would move the A's a half-game ahead of the Rangers, who are off Thursday before opening a three-game set Friday against the Angels in Anaheim.
Melvin has said multiple times he has little interest in the Wild Card, and he will send rookie Sonny Gray to the mound in hopes of continuing the club's dominance against the Astros.
Oakland is 12-3 against Houston, including three three-game sweeps.
For Gray, it marks his fourth start at home, and it will be his second against the Astros. The 24-year-old right-hander is 2-0 with 0.83 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings at home, and the youngster has had no problem adjusting to O.co Coliseum.
"The fans are great here," said Gray, who shut out the Rays over six-plus innings in his last start. "I love pitching at home. I think in the fourth inning, I had two men on and you could tell that everyone really gets behind you and helps you get that last hitter. It's nice to get that little kick."
"He's wise beyond his years as far as ability and composure," catcher Stephen Vogt said of Gray after his last start. "He doesn't get rattled by anything. He doesn't get rattled in the moment. You take your average 23-year-old and have a start like he did in Baltimore and then bounce back like tonight, that shows his maturity and that shows his composure and his ability to make adjustments."
While the A's will look to take advantage of the matchup, the Astros' 28-43 record in games decided by one or two runs has manager Bo Porter happy with how is young team has competed this season.
"I could not be more proud of them and how they carried out that mission throughout the course of the year," Porter said. "Many people could look at the number of losses or look at the amount of failure we have experienced as a ballclub. Some people will take it in. That's not going to happen with this group. It's not going to happen under my watch or the rest of the staff."
Houston will start 25-year-old rookie Brad Peacock, who's struggled over his past two starts. Peacock has allowed nine earned runs over 10 1/3 innings, including five of those vs. the Mariners in four-plus innings.
"I don't think I threw one changeup for a strike," Peacock said. "I need to do a better job of that. I felt good the first three innings, and then I don't know what happened, to tell you the truth. I'll fix it. I'll be ready for next time."
A's: No timetable for Reddick
• Despite progress in rehabbing his sprained right wrist, A's outfielder Josh Reddick is no closer to taking batting practice on the field.
"He feels good," Melvin said Wednesday. "As far as what he's doing in the cage, he's had no problems with it, with soft toss and tee work. When the training staff is comfortable letting him take batting practice on the field, we'll know more."
Reddick is eligible to be reinstated from the disabled list Tuesday, but until he takes BP, an actual timetable for his return can't be made.
While the 26-year-old insists he'll be ready by then, the A's will continue to rotate Brandon Moss and Michael choice in his spot.
Moss in particular has no problems with the adjustment, coming off AL Player of the Week honors.
Astros: Porter still teaching his young club
• Houston shortstop Jonathan Villar was pulled from Tuesday's game against Minnesota after he unsuccessfully tried to stretch a single into a double with his club down, 4-1.
Villar was reinstated for Wednesday's series finale and scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth.
The move was part of a season-long process for Porter in teaching his young team the right way to play.
"The statement was made [Tuesday] night when he got pulled out of the game, and that conversation that followed the action was more so for him to understand exactly why, and moving forward I believe that he will receive it the right way," Porter said.
Houston's skipper wanted to stress to Villar that there's a time and a place for that type of baserunning, but at the same time, he doesn't want to suppress his rookie's aggressiveness.
Tuesday's decision was all part of the learning process for the Majors' youngest club.
"All of these things are going to help us be a better baseball team as we move forward," Porter said. "As a young player that's aggressive, there's going to be things which happened throughout the course of the game that sometimes it may warrant a conversation during the game or may warrant a conversation after the game."
Worth noting
• Thursday's contest is the 14th game of a stretch of 20 games in 20 days for the Astros. They are 5-8 in that stretch.
• Peacock will be making his third start this season opposite his former organization. The A's traded the rookie right-hander on Feb. 4, 2013, along with Chris Carter and Max Stassi, in exchange for Jed Lowrie and reliever Fernando Rodriguez. Peacock is 0-1 with a 5.19 ERA and 12 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings this season against his old team.
• Oakland started the season going 13-3 against AL West teams, but is just 21-23 since May 10. The A's finish their season almost exclusively against their division, minus seven games against the Twins.

No reviews written for this product
Thierry Mugler Cologne is a very good blind buy, inspired by reviews on perfume blogs. In fact, I loved it so much that I reordered right away. For the upcoming hot period I like something refreshing, and I like to spray it on liberally. No danger to offend anyone, even with ample application. It's different enough from other colognes or even EdT to be noticeable. I really like it.
Written by Expats3NY on June 17, 2014
Read Review details ►Theirry Mugler original cologne is a fresh crisp clean scent. I wore it to work and all day people would ask if I was even wearing cologne. (I always wear cologne and they were wondering why I didn't wear any). if your trying to get noticed this isn't the one to go, but if you want a cologne that is not offensive and will make you smell like you just got done showering all day long this is the one to go with. GREAT GYM SCENT
Written by derekw on March 11, 2014
Read Review details ►The smell is reminiscent of L'eau D'Issey. It smells cold crisp lemon and pine. This is a fragrance for when you DON'T want to wear fragrance. It's impossible to offend anyone with it. Good one to have in anyone's collection. It's cheap too!

The groovy native launcher is a native program for launching groovy scripts. It compiles to an executable binary file, e.g. groovy.exe on windows. Note that you still need to have groovy and jre or jdk installed, i.e. the native launcher is a native executable replacement for the startup scripts (groovy.bat, groovy.sh).
The native launcher is included in the groovy windows installer. For other platforms, you have to compile it yourself.
The native launcher should support any platform and any jdk / jre (>= 1.4). If you find something that is not supported, please post a JIRA enhancement request and support will be added.
At the moment, the following platforms have been tested:
- Windows (XP, Vista)
- linux (SuSE, Ubuntu) on x86
- solaris on sparc
At the moment, the following jdks / jres have been tested
- several versions of sun jre / jdk (from 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 serieses)
- jrockit (on windows)
The current version of the native launcher works with any groovy version.
Known issues
- Paths are not converted on cygwin, so you have to use windows style paths when invoking scripts
- On OS-X automatic detection of the executable location does not work. This means you have to set GROOVY_HOME
The source code repository for the Native Launcher module resides at http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk/groovy/modules/native_launcher.
The binaries are compiled w/ the provided rant script. Just type
On Windows you can either compile w/ ms cl compiler + ms link from normal windows command prompt or gcc from cygwin or msys. On cygwin, you currently have to use the rant version from svn head, and run rant w/ the script rant/trunk/run_rant as the present rant release does not work w/ cygwin.
To use the native launcher, you need to either place the executable in the bin directory of groovy installation OR set the GROOVY_HOME environment variable to point to your groovy installation.
The launcher primarily tries to find the groovy installation by seeing whether it is sitting in the bin directory of one. If not, it resorts to using GROOVY_HOME environment variable. Note that this means that GROOVY_HOME environment variable does not need to be set to be able to run groovy.
Finding java installation
The native launcher uses the following order to look up java installation to use:
- user provided java home (using the -jh / --javahome parameter)
- java installation pointed to by JAVA_HOME environment variable
- java installation found by seeing where java executable can be found on PATH (symlinks are followed to find the actual executable)
- java installation marked as the current version in windows registry (keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft
Java Development Kit and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\JavaSoft
Java Runtime Environment, value of "CurrentVersion") (Windows only, obviously) - hard coded "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework" (os-x only)
To put it another way - JAVA_HOME does not need to be set.
The native launcher accepts accepts all the same parameters as the .bat / shell script launchers, and a few others on top of that. For details, type
groovy -h
JVM parameters
Any options not recognized as options to groovy are passed on to the jvm, so you can e.g. do
groovy -Xmx250m myscript.groovy
The -client (default) and -server options to designate the type of jvm to use are also supported, so you can do
groovy -Xmx250m -server myscript.groovy
Note that no aliases like -hotspot, -jrockit etc. are accepted - it's either -client or -server
You can freely mix jvm parameters and groovy parameters. E.g. in the following -d is param to groovy and -Dmy.prop=foo / -Xmx200m are params to the jvm:
groovy -Dmy.prop=foo -d -Xmx200m myscript.groovy
The environment variable JAVA_OPTS can be used to set jvm options you want to be in effect every time you run groovy, e.g. (win example)
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms100m -Xmx200m
You can achieve the same effect by using environment variable JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jvmti/jvmti.html#tooloptions and http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/pdf/jdk50_ts_guide.pdf
Note that if you set the same option from the command line that is already set in JAVA_OPTS, the one given on the command line overrides the one given in JAVA_OTPS.
groovy.exe and groovyw.exe on Windows
Similarly to java.exe and javaw.exe on a jdk, the build process produces groovy.exe and groovyw.exe on windows. The difference is the same as w/ java.exe and javaw.exe - groovy.exe requires a console and will launch one if it is not started in a console, whereas groovyw.exe has no console (and is usually used to start apps w/ their own gui or that run on the background).
Pre-compiled binaries
Here are precompiled binaries for windows:
They are not guaranteed to be completely up to date with the sources in svn head, but they should work.
Hopefully we will have precompiled binaries for all supported platforms in the future.
Windows file association
If you want to run your groovy scripts on windows so that they seem like any other commands (i.e. if you have myscript.groovy on your PATH, you can just type myscript), you have to associate groovy script files with the groovy executable. If you use the groovy windows installer it will do this for you. Otherwise, do as follows:
- add .groovy to PATHEXT environment variable
- make changes in windows registry as follows
- run regedit.exe
- create a new key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.groovy and give it the value groovyFile
- create HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\groovyFile
- under that, create HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\groovyFile\Shell and give it value open
- under that, create HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\groovyFile\Shell\open\command and give it value (adjust according to your groovy location) "c:\programs\groovy-1.0\bin\groovy.exe" "%1" %*
Why have a native launcher, why aren't the startup scripts (groovy.bat, groovy.sh) sufficient? Here are some reasons:
- it solves an open bug : return value of groovy (on windows) is always 0 no matter what happens in the executed script ( even if you call System.exit(1) ). Granted, this could be solved by editing the launch scripts also.
- it is slightly faster than the corresponding .bat / shell script
- you can mix jvm params and groovy params, thus making it easier and more natural to e.g. reserve more memory for the started jvm.
- the process will be called "groovy", not "java". Cosmetic, yes, but still nice. = )
- fixes the problems there have been w/ the .bat launcher and paths w/ whitespace
- on Linux, you can't use an interpreted script as a #! interpreter, because of a kernel bug
Also, the launcher has been written so that the source can be used to easily create a native launcher for any Java program.
How it works
Essentially the launcher does the same thing that the normal java launcher (java executable) does - it dynamically loads the dynamic library containing the jvm and hands the execution over to it. It does not start a separate process (i.e. it does not call the java executable).
Help wanted
If you have expertise with any of the following and want to help, please email me at antti dot karanta (at) iki dot fi:
- Cygwin c api (specifically: how to successfully load and use the win <-> posix path conversion functions when loading the cygwin1.dll from a non-cygwin c app)
- os-x c programming (specifically: how to get the path to the current executable)

Episode Plot
After defeating Elesa and earning himself the Bolt Badge, Ash and co. decide to pay a visit to Ingo and Emmet. Cilan starts to collect 60 stamps at the stamp rally to battle Ingo and Emmet. Meanwhile Ash and Iris find an Axew that is lost all the way here in the Nimbasa City amusement park. Somehow, the trainer name Erina bump into Cilan seeking questions on how to get to the amusement park looking for her friend (which means her Axew). Will they be able to find her trainer and each other? Yes. And do Ash and Cilan have what it takes to beat Ingo and Emmet? No.
- Two football players on the jumbo-tron had uniforms designed like Gurdurr and Darmanitan respectively.
- They were called the "Gurdurr 11" and "Team Darmanitan" respectively.
- In the games, Tennis and Basketball alternated each day of the week in Small Court. In this episode, both tennis and basketball courts were seen.
- Finding the stamps in certain locations had the same searching element as a scavenger hunt.
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Stoutland
- Who's that Pokémon?: Eelektross (Japan), Chandelure (U.S.)
- In three scenes Ingo's rear hair can be seen, after Erina got reunited with her Axew and when Ingo was commanding his Chandelure to use Smog, and when commanding his Chandelure to use Will-O-Whisp, While Emmet's rear hair was seen in one scene.
- Emmet and Ingo's official artwork for Pokemon: Black and White can be seen.

What a surprise...
Phoronix: Radeon Gallium3D Still Long Shot From Catalyst
Following recent advancements in the open-source Radeon Linux driver like 2D color tiling support, I've carried out some new benchmarks of the open-source Radeon Gallium3D driver compared to AMD's official Catalyst driver. This time around, the open-source driver is seeing tests against AMD's binary blob when various performance-optimizing tweaks are enabled to see where the performance stands today.
What a surprise...
Thanks for the updated comparison Michael!
I know I am maybe asking too much. But I think it would be quite interesting to see traces(apitrace supports CPU profiling) of the benchmarks for the very slow results at least, just to get a better idea where the binary drivers are faster.
Btw I think one could actually use api traces of games as benchmarks. This would additionally ensure that the same call paths are executed, no fall-backs or workarounds for specific hardware taken.
Can someone point me to a tutorial of some sort on how to get the latest mesa stuff running next to catalyst. Are phoronix test setups documented?
Michael, where is the Doom3 test?
I still consider this wide gap between r600g and Catalyst on higher res/quality to be due to still missing optimizing shader compiler.
At lower res/quality GPU can keep with unoptimized shaders, but with lots of pixels the game changes. What happened with Vadim Girlin's initiative on that?
nvidia had hardware scheduler so far, and that is the reason for better nouveau speed, event unsupported by nvidia, but now with kepler, they go AMD route, with software scheduler in the driver ( at least thats what anandtech says ).
Three choices:
* Use a distribution like gentoo that actually allows several libGL implementations to exist on your system. You need to load modules manually, and switch between two xorg.conf (i.e. forget XDM), but it can work.
* Just install a separate OS on a different partition. Maybe play around with UnionFS to save space.
* Try to manually install both on an unsupported system, go crazy over the conflicts that arise, eventually bork your system and reinstall.
Honestly, if you have to ask how to do it, go with option 2. It's safer.
Debian has glx-alternative packages for allowing binary/open-source GPU drivers to coexist.
Yeah, catalyst sure does have a long way to go before it has the utility and openness of radeon-g3d.
I don't see it so doomy and gloomy.
In trivial pixel-pushing benchmarks like OpenArena, Warsow and Padman, the OSS drivers are slower, but well within playable range. 500+ FPS is really not anything anyone cares about. 120Hz should be enough for anyone :P
With a more complex game at high resolution (Xonotic @1080p), the OSS drivers are at 60-65% of performance. This is a really good number. With HiZ and some shader compiler optimisation, it should reach 75%, which is really close to the best that can be reasonably expected from the open stack. At 75% performance, the OSS drivers becomes a real option for everyone other than people who need the absolute ultimate performance (scientific computing and elite gamerz). It's fast enough for the desktop and casual gaming, and the missing performance costs 20 bucks if you really need it. That would be wonderful! And don't forget that future generations (HD 7000) should be easier to optimise due to the switch away from VLIW.
It's interesting to see that Nexuiz is so much slower than Xonotic, as they are basically the same game... No idea what happened there. Also, more challenging benchmarks like doom3 would be nice.
I really don't understand why there are no doom3 benchmarks: xonotic and doom3 were the only two benchmarks I was interested to see.

I know that, BUT I would guess that many many commits for gtk come from gnome developers, so yes you can use it seperatly and gnome depends on gtk and not the other way around, but again I would guess that more people use gnome than gimp.
So maybe I am wrong but I guess that more devs who work on gnome-components also send patches or directly work on gtk than any other projekt... but if someone knows more... so if that is true I think it would be valid to say that if lets say 99% of the people would use kde and and nobody would want any gnome stuff (incl. unity) and the gnome-projekt would not exist, gtk would maybe died or would be way more behind in progress than it is today.
I appreciate the article but Ubuntu 12.10 just entered Beta a week ago?
I do not give ETAs on how long things will take. Needless to say, we are working on it, and some good ideas are being thrown around as to how to deal with it. That being
1. Using glBlitBuffer instead of painting a texture backed framebuffer
2. Ensuring the contents of vertex buffers are more static (improves video)
3. Fullscreen window unredirection.
Thats not a promise that any of this will land *this cycle* per-se, but it is a note that we are aware there was a performance hit when we merged the work to make compiz work on arm platforms and we're actively dealing with it.
Thanks Sam. I really appreciate your reply. Keep up the good work and drink lots of caffeine because we are waiting anxiously
Am I correct in interpreting the compiz 0.9.8.2 release notes as saying that the fullscreen window unredirection problems are now mostly fixed? From the release notes:
* Gamers rejoice! CCSM > Composite > "Unredirect Fullscreen Windows" now works more reliably, with a few bugs remaining. If you turn it on then fullscreen windows like games will get direct rendering access and won't be slowed by Compiz (or Unity) any more.
They go on to mention the following bugs amongst the list of bugs fixed:
980663 - Compiz won't start if "unredirect fullscreen windows" is enabled
1041047 - Unredirect Fullscreen Windows stay on top (unredirected) even when they're not on top any more (or the output is transformed)
1041066 - Unredirect Fullscreen Windows sometimes fails to unredirect fullscreen windows at all
1046661 - Unredirect Fullscreen Windows stay on top (unredirected) even when an RGBA window is stacked above it
Oh I totally forgot to mention. Upstream compiz is developed on launchpad.
What I'd really like to see is one of the things Martin suggested in his benchmarking article that should be easy for Michael to do in future benchmarks of compositors; include a control test. That is, include a test where there is no compositor / desktop environment running, just plain X server.
Here's the quote from his site:
"Now I think back of the hypothesis we have and I notice that while we have quite some data sets on the influence of desktop environments on the game rendering performance, one important data set is missing: the control. For the given hypothesis only one control can be thought of: running just an X-Server without any desktop environment and run the test there. This would be a very good control as it ensures that there is no overhead introduced by any desktop environment. "
A number of us suggested that BMarks also be run without compositor (use xinit twm or something) or without a WM altogether (use xinit someBenchmark). Unfortunately, a number of the BMarks in PTS probably won't run without a WM. Does anyone have a moment to try Heaven or some other benchmark without a WM?

"Listen to the narrator before you buy"
I could not decide if it was the terrible narrator who talked voices in monotone without inflection or the really bad writing and language. I don't mean swearing I mean slang. I did not even last two chapters.
Disgust. I had just listened to a five star book that cost as much as this one, by Diana Gabaldon.
I really enjoy a good paranormal book. This isn't one.
"A Surprise!"
I usually follow authors. I chose this one thinking well.. if I hate it I can return it. I do not give five stars usually. I gave this one five because I laughed out loud several times during the story.
I thought this was a light fun read. Maybe I felt the same with the first Sookie Stackhouse book. A different idea.
The reader was very good, did several characters with different voices and was easy to tell one from another while they were talking in a group. I thought she was outstanding.
This story is one of shapeshifting wolves. Not people that were bitten. So the sex in it was a bit different and graphic and I can see how it could upset some people. My thought was, if I can get through three books of 50 Shades, how bad could this be :)
Perhaps I have a twisted sense of humor but I enjoyed the sarcastic wit and I look forward to the next book in the series.
It took me a while to get into the book, not knowing what to expect but it was surprisingly addictive. I actually found myself sad that the ending didn't extend itself :)
"No thanks"
I am wondering if Mr. King is having problems with his women. A story of a man who murders his wife, which isn't anything but gross and corrupts his son into helping him do it, which is sad and sick. The next one a detailed story of a woman getting raped and beaten. Oh yeah that is what women want to read. I quit. Nothing spooky, nothing that goes bump in the night or makes you wonder what is happening. The third story is about a man who wants to transfer his cancer to his best friend. Why? Because he is jealous. After doing a deal with the devil his friend's wife gets it instead and dies. It then goes on to tell how the friends entire family gets destroyed, while the man watches and enjoys. No moral here, no story here. The last story is about a woman with a dark side... what a surprise.
"Okay but.."
If you have been listening to Laural Merlington narrate the series this book will be a hard listen. She is good but she doesn't do different voices and it is easy to mistake which person is talking. I think I will probably buy the book, I feel like I missed a lot.
The male narration made me want to barf, the story included a lot of descriptive child abuse, and in my opinion probably the worst book of the series. For those of us who followed the series this was just...disappointing. For some reason the series now has it's own language and I moaned when the terrible narrator started singing, to me it has all made the series into a joke.
"A good story, however..."
I actually liked this story. It was entertaining and moved along quickly. However I think it would be a better read. The narrator was so irritating. She read well, changed voices well however has a habit of lowering the tone of her voice at the end of her sentences. As if she was reading poetry. If it had a better narrator I would have given it four stars.
"Sookie Stackhouse"
They are making a pilot out of this series called True Blood on HBO. It is a light and funny series with a lot of adventure that I started listening to in the middle with Dead as a Doornail with Audible. I did go out and get the earlier books to read to bring myself up to date. I would love to have the entire series available on Audible. Even though each book stands on its own it is better starting at the beginning, you get more of a feel on the history of the characters. If you are looking for something entertaining you will enjoy this series.
"Another great book!"
One of my favorite books! If you have been reading this series you will love this one. If you haven't, start with Outlander.
"Unabridged only please"
This series starts with Outlander when the main character Clare is in her 20s. The series continues in time and in the last one written to date she is in her 50s. It is hard to identify this series but is definitely a descriptive romance with a lot of adventure, with a touch of SciFi. My favorite books in this series so far are The Outlander and the next one called The Voyager. For all of you who loved Outlander the best is yet to come, just don't buy the unabridged. It is like listening to half of the story. Dragonfly In Amber is not the end of the story just setting up the future stories. Enjoy.

It is a win/win for Ubuntu and Microsoft.
Azure will be more appealing since you now can run a mix of both Windows and Linux.
People who pick a cloud provider ain't likely to switch from Linux to Windows just for that cloud provider, they would rather pick another cloud provider. So having Linux support can get Azure more customers.
About Microsoft Azure, they have two data centers in Europe, two in America and two in Asia. Your data is triple backed up and distributed across data centers.
It provides platform as a service (PaaS), so it is great for .NET developers who just want to develop without caring about maintaining/administrating the servers and such.
For Canonical this is a win, because they signed a deal with one of the worlds biggest software companies.
It lends them credibility and positions them as a major player in the enterprise Linux world. Before it was pretty much Red Hat (which are great btw!) you went to if you wanted enterprise Linux.
It also ties Microsoft closer to Linux so they will hopefully be less willing to cause any trouble as a strained relationship could be bad for them.
Some are skeptic to Microsoft (and rightfully so considering their past, and also some current actions). Microsoft is not the same company it was during the 90s, some things have changed, some have not.
There are still some asshole factions within Microsoft (such as the old Microsoft veterans and Office developers, and Steve Ballmer is an idiot), but now there are some cool factions too, such as the web-related factions.
If you goto Microsoft conferences and events, you see pretty much all the speakers have GitHub stickers on their laptops, some even Ubuntu stickers and using Google Chrome. You can hear them talking about open source, and even mentioning Linux.
Microsoft now even releases some open source software, the Azure tools for Linux are released under the Apache License.

About The Manufacturer
Low profile design helps get the ball airborne
Adams patented upside-down head shape makes it easy to hit from all lies
Like any golfer, Adams Golf believes the problem isn't in the swing, it's in the clubs. The companys founder is a man named Barney Adams who started Adams Golf in 1987. Mr. Adams had built a career in golf manufacturing as a component supplier and contract manufacturer. He benefited tremendously from his experience custom-fitting golfers, and used those opportunities to observe the effect a variety of materials and head designs had on golfers performance. Applying the lessons learned in that process, Adams developed and introduced the Tight Lies fairway wood. Tight Lies had what has become known as an upside down head design. This innovative design became somewhat of a phenomenon in golf and still enjoys tremendous customer loyalty. (7 years after its introduction hundreds of thousands of golfers still have Tight Lies in their bags.) Adams product line is by no means limited to Tight Lies fairway woods, as the company produces and sells a full range of product including drivers, wedges, putters, hybrid irons and more. In addition to endorsing its products, pro golfer Tom Watson assists in design and testing.

by Dave Bar Less noise, more music The engineers at Polk Audio know great sound. They should, they've been building high-performance home and car speakers for demanding listeners for decades. Now they've taken that experience and expertise and created a headphone designed from the ground up to match the clarity and detail of their famous speakers. The Polk UltraFocus 8000 with active noise-canceling technology reproduces your music with audiophile-grade sound quality, while isolating you from the noisy environment around you. Enjoy a private concert in peace, without distractions from the outside world. Switch between your calls and music with ease The UltraFocus 8000's three-button remote and in-line microphone make it easy to answer and end calls, control the volume of your calls or music, and pause, play, or skip through your songs on your iPhone®, iPad® or iPod®. The controls are even built right into the earcup for convenient operation. For travel, the supplied airline adapter lets you easily plug in to in-flight entertainment. And a handy push-to-hear control lets you mute the audio and amplify outside sounds to carry on a conversation with those around you without removing your headphones. Engineered for durability and comfort Along with fantastic sound, a truly great headphone also must provide a comfortable and secure fit. The 8000's soft, generously padded earcups ensure hours of luxurious listening comfort. A lightweight carbon fiber headband insert provides added ruggedness while ensuring a snug-yet-gentle over-ear fit. And the ultra-flexible, ribbon-style cable helps avoid tangles. From the review Polk Audio UltraFocus 8000 noise-canceling headphones: Innovative extras give these headphones an advantage "The headphones' noise cancellation technology worked well, and the benefits of the extra processing features Polk built in were noticeable and appreciated. Whether you're flying across the country or just being a desk-jockey all day, the Polk Audio UltraFocus 8000 noise-canceling headphones can make the experience not just bearable, but enjoyable as well." — Ralph, Crutchfield Blog and Product Review editor Product Highlights:over-the-ear designclosed, padded earcups with adjustable headbandactive noise-canceling technology to reduce distracting external soundspush-to-hear ambient control lets you pause the noise-canceling feature for brief conversations without removing headphonesbuilt-in, three-button earcup controls and in-line microphone for hands-free use with iPod®, iPhone®, and iPad®40mm Polk Dynamic Balance® drivers for low-distortion and extended, full-range sound55" tangle-resistant oxygen-free copper headphone cablecarbon fiber headband provides a lightweight, secure and comfortable fitfrequency response: 8-28,000 Hzsensitivity: 110 dBimpedance: 32 ohmswarranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guaranteeIncluded accessories:detachable headphone cord with in-line mic and miniplug connectorsfull-size headphone (1/4") and twin-plug airline system adaptersprotective carrying case and shirt cliptwo "AAA" batteries
Polk Audio Ultrafocus 800 Written By KJJ, Charlton, MA on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I have 2 pair of Polk speakers and the headphones have the same high quality sound. The noise reduction seems to be on par with Bose that I have tried. With music playing I can't hear my wife's screeching bird so they should work well for someone who wants these for air travel. Pros: comfortable, great sound Cons: none
Polk UltraFocus 8000 vs PSB M4U2 Written By Brendan, NH on Thursday, April 04, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I have had the privilege to try the PSB headphones, the Bose headphones, and the Polk Audio headphones. I currently own the PSB headphones and the Polk Audio headphones. My favorite of the three is certainly the PSB's. For the Polk Audio headphones since this is supposed to be a review on them I would say come in a close second behind the PSB's. Polks headphones are very comfortable, have outstanding sound quality, and were well built. My only complaint with them is their looks and the strength of the noise cancellation. After a few hours of listening to them I start to develop a headache because the music almost sounds overbearing and slightly fake. The sound quality of these to me is a mix of Bose and Beats. They are very strong on the bass and have crystal clear highs (like beats) but at the same time provide a strong mid section (like Bose). These headphones are able to reach notes in most genres which makes these headphones a great fit for many people. In my PSB headphones I found that they are perfect for me. Their sound quality is by far the best in its class of 300-400 dollar headphones. I have heard headphones several hundred dollars more and they still can compete with them. Some people say that they are heavy (although this is true) I was looking for the best sounding headphones in my price range. It is very convenient to switch between amplified mode/noise-cancellation mode to a mode where you don't need batteries for the headphones to work as well. Pros: Polk provides superb sound quality, comfort, and adequate noise cancellation. Cons: Are not the most attractive, some people may find the sound quality annoying after hours of use, and the noise cancellation is on at all times.
Coolness Written By Jayjaye, San Diego, CA on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Received my ultrafocus 8000 earlier than expected delivery date. Put the batteries and started using them right away. At first there was some kind of electronic ticking noise coming from the right earphone which disappeared after a couple of songs. The sound quality is incredible. I heard details that I didn't know existed. Bass is amazing. I have Bose and Beats, Polk Audio Ultafocus 8000 in my opinion is better than them. Pros: Sound quality. Polk Audio shrunk down to headphone size. Cons: Plastic trim holding the head cushion pads.
Polk Sound Quality Written By Gary D, Boone, NC on Friday, March 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Quality sound is foremost with the UltraFocus 8000. Solid bass and clarity make all music more enjoyable. The headset is very good looking and should be cool for most. The build quality is excellant. I really like the control buttons on the side of the headset and the talk feature is great for travel. Comfort is good but may become less so if worn for a long time. Noise reduction is OK but I had hoped for better. Pros: Sound quality Quality build On-board controls Control features Good looks Cons: Noise reduction OK but could be better
Sound great but uncomfortable Written By Simple Man, Jowa on Monday, February 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality This review is for the Polk Audio ULTRA FOCUS 8000. Other headphones I own are the Bose QuietComfort 2 and the Sennheiser HD-558. The Bose are great for travelling and the active noise cancelling really makes a difference on a plane. The HD-558's are extremely comfortable and sound great but they don't produce any bass to speak of. I wanted a closed headphones that produced some satisfying bass so I looked for an additional pair. I didn't buy these for the noise canceling feature but thought it wouldn't hurt. They sounded great and I really liked the bass. The bass was very satisfying and didn't infringe on the mids and highs. I like my music on the loud side and when connecting directly to an iDevice or a MacBook Air I had to turn the volume up all the way most of the time. For being a portable headphone this is an issue. I found them very uncomfortable though and had to send them back. They suffer the same flaw as many others. The ear pads do not fit around the ear so they sit on the ear and smash them against my head. They also have alot of clamping pressure which multiplies the level of discomfort. I will reiterate though that the sound quality was great. If Polk was to design a true full size headphone that was comfortable to wear for hours at a time I would be very interested. Pros: Sound great Cons: Very uncomfortable
Exceeded my expectations! Written By Cliff C, Pleasanton, CA on Sunday, February 10, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I tried numerous NC headphones and was just not satisfied enough to keep any until I tried these. Superb comfort, look great, small enough to travel with when in the case, and sound stellar! I have had the Bose QC3 and QC15, PSB M4U 2, Monster Inspirations. I do quite a bit of flying and these headphones cancel engine noise just as good if not better than the PSB's and Monsters. The Bose cancel the engine noise a little better but nothing to write home about. The sounds is very well balanced and articulate for the type of music I listen to, mostly rock/alternative/jazz. No overwhelming bass but not lacking either. The controls on the earpiece are very usable, especially the passthrough noise feature which allows you to hear outside noise very well without taking off the headphones. I really liked the PSB's I tried but I simply couldn't get past the bulkiness and they felt like they were constantly falling off my head. They sounded great but I actually prefer the Polk's to the PSB's even in the sound department. Close call but the Polk's just sound fabulous. I am really surprised these don't get more visibility. One other thing....I was very hesitant to spend this much money on a pair of NC headphones that required batteries to output sound (no passive feature). However, I took the plunge and haven't looked back. Highly recommend giving these a try! Pros: Comfort, Style, Usable Controls on Headset, Superb Sound! Cons: No passive mode (even though I would rarely use it anyway)
Excellent Headphones Written By JohnM, Woodbury, MN on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality As others have stated, these headphones have excellent sound quality, and they are very comfortable. The noise reduction is decent, and I think they are comparable to my Bose QC15s. I highly recommend these headphones. Pros: Sound quality, comfort Cons: none
Awesome, hardly noise canceling Written By John W, Bozeman, MT on Thursday, September 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality They do have some level of Noise Cancelation with a static hum when no music is played. In comparison to my high-end headphones, they don't noise cancel anything. But wait a sec, what happens if you run the Inception soundtrack through them? HOLY COW, I cannot believe headphones have drivers that throw like that! Once you are tuned into the most beautiful soundstage you have ever put onto your ears, I can guarantee you do not pickup on the outside world. Pros: Highs, Mids, Lows; you name it, these babies can produce it and in perfect balance Tight Bass YOU WON'T STOP SMILING Cons: Noise Cancelation
can't replace Bose Written By Anonymous, Malvern, AR on Monday, August 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality In an effort to replace the poor quality Bose quiet comfort 15 headphones I tried these Polk 8000. Much better build quality but can't say is that's true for long term use. Problem is the discomfort. They are heavy! Some people review that they are very comfortable. I think those people would feel comfortable with a 50 gal drum on their head as long as it was padded. I get a headache with the Polks within a few minutes due to the weight pressing down on my head. Bose will sit on the ears without the need for top bar sitting on your head. The Polks rely upon the top bar to hold the cups on your ears due to the weight. I find myself reaching for the Bose daily and letting the Polks just sit and collect dust. Pros: The ear cups adjust by pivoting which is nice for fit. Sound quality is equal to Bose and Klipsch. (ALL head phones sound better than Beats brand.) Build quality and design is nice. Cons: Too heavy. Pressure on top of head regardless of adjustment.
Great sounding headphones for the price! Written By RobP, NY on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I've tried beats and bose and I was very dissapointed with the Beats considering all the hype they have (plus the price is way high for what they are). The bose sounded okay, but I gave these a shot and these things have the best sound quality for this price range The noise reduction does its job and cancels out all constant drones and most other noises. The only time you can faintly here something is if you have nothing playing through the headphones. Usually if you're listening to something, you can't hear anything else but what you're listening unless someone comes up and is talking extremely loud or screaming right next to you. The build quality is very good and they look very slick. The buttons on the side are a big plus. just put your iphone in your pocket and play/pause, next song, volume up/down are right there on the side...and that nice little button that allows you to kick on the external mic to talk to other people who are trying to talk to you (aka bugging you) makes it so much easier than pausing the song and lifting the headphones off your head. Pros: sound quality, build quality, nice carrying case, detachable cable Cons: thicker cable, in-line mic would be nice
Best sound, compared to other NC and most wired to 1K Written By Chip B, Kingsport, TN on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I gave my Bose to my Daughter and compared though, and rate the NC of Bose at 78% and these at 65%; have now used these on 8 plane trip legs, and the NC is pretty decent. My opinion when comparing these to Beyer, Grado and Senns, the sound is equal, when compared to Bose, Parrot, MU 40, Beats, PSB, Able Planet, AT, Sony, the sound is way better; heard a hiss from electronics one time in a Hotel that was obviously a feedback, but otherwise none. Pros: Excellent Build, Fit, Finish. Ear-cups are removable and replaceable. Very comfortable, stay on with various head movements without difficulty. Great cord, doesn't tangle, and great quality. Strong case, protect well and convenient with travel. Cons: None
Bad headphones Written By KenL, Bethesda, MD on Saturday, July 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Don't buy these headphones. I love polk speakers and buy these phones thinking they would be the same combination of value/sound quality that make the polk speakers such a good buy. Stick with the speakers. I have several other pair of noise cancelling headphones at the same price level or lower and the these polks have the worst sound quality of all of them. In fact, the sound quality of the sport headphones produce better sound than the noise cancelling phones. Big dissapointment. Pros: None Cons: Overpriced, bad sound
Awesome sound quality Written By Terry, Waynesboro, MS on Saturday, July 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality These are some awesome cans I tried Bose and souls before these neither can compare to these I really liked these better everything compared to Bose and souls the souls come close but Polk has more clarity for all types of music other cans I've tried come up short when not playing digital music but not Polk they sound great Pros: Sound Quality Cons: None
EXCELLENT SOUND AND EXCELLENT COMFORT Written By DAVID, CALIFORNIA on Saturday, July 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Amazing headphones,excellent sound quality(highs,mids,bass,high fidelity),you can hear every detail of music clearly,low or high volume they sound great,very,very comfortable,every day I listen about 3 hours of music and sometimes I just forget I got them on top of my head.Battery life is great,very easy to remove and install the batteries(just a quick twist with two fiingers to remove the cover), the earcup controls works great and are very convenient,I don't have to remove them when somebody wants to talk to me, I just press a bottom on the earcup and I can hear conversations perfectly.The noise reduction works very well, you hardly hear any outside noise( of course, if you use them next to a turned on blender,you're going to still listen to the blender's motor ;), just not as loud ).The build quality is excellent and the design of this headphones is very,very nice,they look nice and sound great. Pros: Sound quality,comfort,built quality. Cons: Nothing,nada,0.
Pleasantly surprised Written By billyp7718, philadelphia pa on Monday, July 02, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I was looking to replace my Bose QC15 (since they had gotten damaged) with something a bit different. I was never really satisfied with the sound quality of the Bose compared to my Grado or Sennheiser cans so I thought I would give these a try. The Polk headphones not only sound better, but are better built than the Bose. There still is a slight tradeoff of sound quality as compared to my higher end, purpose built cans BUT these will be my mainstay for air and train travel! Pros: Sound quality, build quality, comfort Cons: noise reduction could be a tad bit better
wasn't entirely satisfied Written By rob, barrington rhode island on Thursday, May 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I have tinnitus and am a landscaper. I wanted noise cancelling headphones for mowing, trimming hedges... I wear Bose AE 2s now. I got the Polks. Note... They do not work unless switched on and they are in noise cancelling mode all the time. The noise cancelling only works for low frequencies and not completely. Definitely not going to make the lawn mower quiet. I listen to soft music and there is a high pitched hum from the noise cancelling. I was not impressed at all with the audio quality at low volume. Mostly mid range. Very little bass. They made James Taylor sould like a bit like a squirrel. My Bose are much brighter and have better base. I bought another very high quality set of Sennheiser noise cancelling headphones that were the same. I think audio quality may be a trade off for the noise cancelling features. I'm trying the PSB's and that's it. Giving up after that if not impressed. Another thing I might add. I had a hard time twisting the battery cover back on, and in the process twisted off and dropped the ear pad. I expected a lot more for the price. I keep headphones on a good portion of the day with low music, white noise, nature sounds... so I don't have to listen to my ears ring. I am distracted by background noises so I thought these would be the ticket, but not for me. Pros: they look solid, well built and are comfortable. They also sound good with the volume turned up. The noise cancelling works. You definitely notice the low frequencies drop off when you switch them on. I just can't listen to loud music and wanted more fidelity out of them. Cons: I did not like the range of the headphones at low volume. I also didn't like the hum of the noise cancelling circuitry and the battery cover. I could never justify the price when I have cheaper headphones that sound better. I'm going to try the PSB's though before I'm done.

Category: Designers/Studios,
I particularly loved this piece of work from Mega. It was a proposal for the branding of the city they're based in, Copenhagen. The idea behind it was so simple, yet so effective at communicating the messages they were trying to get across. The way the type is set coupled with the really pleasing colour palettes deserves to be loved in my eyes....

The report is trying to answer to questions such as: What is the nature of the market of human trafficking, How is the trafficking conducted, Who are the traffickers? In recent years, the majority of human trafficking victims detected in Europe have come from the Balkans and the former Soviet Union, in particular Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova. Victims from at least some of these five countries have also been located in all parts of Europe. But the dominance of these groups appears to be changing as new source countries emerge on the European scene. More information about human trafficking on the website of UNODC.

How much work to get it into the other drivers? I thought the OpenGL3 implementation was in the shared code and not specific drivers, so what's the ratio there? How much of the work will automatically end up in the other drivers (since they are in shared code paths) and how much must be done on specific driver level?
How much of this work will automatically go into the software/virtualization drivers?

I got this rug to place in front of the love seat-sized sofa bed in my office to add color and interest to the room. It more than met my expectations, and looks sensational. I was surprised that the quality was so good for the price paid.
The color is a deep purple-pink-red and navy blue, not orangey as pictured. The quality is of a rug that your crafty friend might have made back in the 1970's. The weave is coarse.
It's not a bad rug but it doesn't fit my area well. So I'm sending it back.
We purchased this rug for a tight space and it fits perfectly. I had read other reviews regarding the color (and didn't need it to match anything too perfectly) so I wasn't too surprised that the colors didn't match the online images. Just note that the colors are nowhere near as "bright" as they are online. The red is more of a dark red (not an orange red) and the cream/ivory in the image is more of a camel/dark beige color. The rest of the colors (blue/green) are similarly darker. Still very nice vivid, jewel-tone colors, but just not as bright as the image. We've purchased multiple rugs off of overstock and continue to be pleased with the quality. All rugs "shed" a bit at first, so you'll have a bit of red fluff in your vacuum for awhile, but this is normal for most rugs to shed for a period. It's not a big deal and we only have to vacuum this rug every few weeks (even with a dog). It seems to hide any dirt/dog hair very well (and isn't in a heavy traffic area). It's heavy enough not to move while we vacuum. I got a small rug pad to go under (also from overstock) and it works great.
I ordered this rug for our front entry way. It looks gorgeous in person. It is thick and high quality. Highly recommend this product.

Mariano Gaitan on the Story of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo
The Occidental community is invited to a special class by Mariano Gaitan on "Finding Their Disappeared Grandchildren: The Story of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo".
As a staff attorney at the Argentine NGO Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, Mariano Gaitan has investigated cases of infants who were kidnapped along with their parents during the years of the Argentine Dirty War (1973-1983), or born in captivity to mothers who were later "disappeared". These children, often sold or given in adoption by the security forces to new parents, lost all links to their biological families. A faculty member at the University of Buenos Aires School of Law, a researcher on criminal law and human rights, and a committed advocate and litigator against impunity, Mr. Gaitan will discuss the work done at Abuelas to locate these missing children (now adults), restore their true identity, and reestablish links with their biological families.

Yesterday, California Assembly Member Mary Hayashi pulled AB 783 from reconsideration by the Senate Standing Committee on Business, Professions, and Economic Development. If the bill had been voted down it would have been dead for the remainder of the session. However, by pulling the bill it can be brought back for a reconsideration vote on June 27 or anytime in 2012.
AB 783 would specifically add licensed PTs to the list of "healing arts practitioners" who may be employees of medical, chiropractic, and podiatric corporations.
In withdrawing AB 783, Hayashi indicated that she would sit down with representatives of the California Chapter, to see what can be worked out, reported NBC LA.

What would be even FUNNIER is if there was a typo limited edition with the pocket rightside up!!!! Maybe a rabid bat would do that????

Is that a bat in your pocket or are you just happy to see me ?

Helpful Definition for: Aircraft
An 'aircraft' in Lancaster can be termed as a vehicle which has been created in such a way so that it can glide through the air easily. The aircraft travels through air, defying gravity by the mechanism of aerodynamics. Airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, etc., are different variations of aircraft. Even rocket planes and cruise missiles can be labeled as aircraft.
Aircraft can be categorized as manned and unmanned. Airplanes, helicopters, etc., which have a crew to guide its movement are said to be manned aircraft and missiles, rocket planes are said to be unmanned as they are totally remote-controlled and do not have any human being inside these aircraft.
Classification of aircraft in Lancaster is done on the basis of different criteria like the propelling force, lift-type, and usage.
- On the basis of types of lift, they can be categorized into aerostats, aerodynes, fixed wing, etc.
- On the basis of propulsion, they can be classified as powered and unpowered.
- On the basis of usage, they can be classified as military, commercial, civil, and general.

The airplanes are the most popular among these aircraft. Airplanes are used by the common people in a major way for travelling from one place to another by air.

I guess the first question is how the monitors are connected. The GPUs can usually drive two DVI/VGA/HDMI connectors and anything past that has to be DP.
Ok I am new to Linux and have been trying with not much success to get Eyefinity to work. I have followed several threads and tutorials and can't get my XFX 5770 GPU to push my 3 LCD's.
The end result is always either a black screen or boot-up to login and then a blank desktop with no icons. Can anyone shed some light onto this and maybe a good tutorial? I am trying all of this on 12.10 64-bit
I guess the first question is how the monitors are connected. The GPUs can usually drive two DVI/VGA/HDMI connectors and anything past that has to be DP.
Well the standard setup 2-DVI's and a DP. Works great under Win7 Can use all 3 LCD independently of as one for gaming...
OK, thanks. AFAIK that should "just work" with the open source drivers. Not sure about Catalyst but I thought it supported Eyefinity as well.
Which driver are you using for Linux, and does it work OK if you run with only one or two displays ?
Ok again I am fresh to Linux/Ubuntu, so I will tell you what I have done and the results. I am doing a Dual boot with Win7, install goes without issue. Upon first login 2 of the 3 LCD's are active and they mirror each other. When I go to the display settings I have no option to turn the mirroring off. So I D/L the ATI drivers and install them. Reboot and either boot to the login screen and after logging in the desktop is black or all the icon's are missing.
I have tried to follow some tutorials on YT with no success...
Firstly, that was a rather large necro
Eyefinity and Multi-Monitor differ. Eyefinity is using multiple monitors to achieve a single display, and essentially combine the resolutions to make one large one (so 3 1600x900 screens in Landscape = 4800x900). Multi-monitor is just using the monitors as-is, independent of each other (so 3 1600x900 screens in Landscape = just that; 3 screens at 1600x900).
"True" Eyefinity under Linux afaik isn't an easy setup, if it's even possible. Multi-monitor should be rather easy though. My 3 screens on my 7850 were detected with the open-source driver on Ubuntu 13.04. The screens work just fine with fglrx also. Depends mainly on how well your monitors are supported I guess (shouldn't be a problem unless your monitors have no EDID or are hooked up in some strange way (DisplayPort over USB, DVI-to-DP via adapter, etc.))
