Pichet Klunchun
Bridging traditional Thai classical dance language with contemporary sensibilities, dancer/choreographer Pichet Klunchun occupies a unique place in the dance world. He trained in the form of Thai classical mask dance known as khon, and gained further experience as a theater dancer and choreographer and performing in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok. The work seen here was excerpted at the 2008 Fall for Dance Festival, after which Dance Magazine editor Wendy Perron named it among her top ten works for 2008. This is a contemporary Thai interpretation of the Ramayana epic, explored differently in Cambodia's Reamker. The full Chui Chai received its U.S. premiere at Jacob's Pillow, while a more recent work, Pichet Klunchun and Myself, was created and performed with French conceptual choreographer Jérôme Bel.

by Marshall Chase Making home theater harmony Many HDTV fans experience the disconnect of a wide, pristine picture undermined by tiny TV speakers struggling to eke out sound from their narrow, shallow home in the TV's trim bezel. The Harman Kardon SB 30 comes to the rescue, lifting you out of the rut dug by kazoo-like TV drivers and into the wide world of home theater speakers. Big sound little footprint Harman Kardon knows that while nearly everyone wants better TV sound quality, few want to sacrifice a lot of real estate to speakers, amplifiers and the accompanying cascade of cables and cords. The SB 30 provides an elegant surround speaker solution that requires precious little space but delivers truly spacious sound. The SB 30 boasts an adjustable beam function that lets you tailor the sound to your room whether it's small, medium or large. The sound bar houses a total of 13 speakers to bring dialogue and music to the forefront. Its 230-watt built-in amplifier leaves TV-powered sound in the dust. Best of all, the SB 30 is just one plug away from Dolby® and DTS® digital sound. Just connect your TV, Blu-ray player or satellite/cable box with the included cables and you're on your way to a greatly enhanced entertainment experience. Plus Dolby Volume control ensures that "loud commercial surprise" is a thing of the past. Solving the bass shortage Where most television speakers really come up short is on low frequencies. The SB 30 cures that with a 100-watt wireless subwoofer. Its 8" driver delivers the kind of low, tight rumble that makes action scenes something you can feel in your gut. And film scores play a bigger role, with all of the instruments present in full range. Even voices will sound more realistic. And because the sub is wireless you can place it wherever it's convenient for you.

Harman Kardon SB 30 Written By NickF, Pasadena, MD on Monday, October 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have installed in my family room that is 24' x 24' with 18' ceilings. This is not my primary veiwing spot in house & did not want to have a complete surround sound speaker system in this room. I did have an existing sound bar but for this size room was a little under sized. Replacing with the SB 30 was very noticable. The sound quality & 8" sub responce is amazing. We use the sound bar for listening music also and WOW it sounds great thoughout the house. Love It! Pros: Sounds & looks great! Excellent mounting hardware. Cons: NONE
Harmon Kardon SB 30 Written By DavidW, Roseville, Ca 95747 on Sunday, July 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Harmon Kardon SB 30 was very easy to install and I noticed a very positive difference from the TV sound. I like the way Harmon Kardon made it possible to adjust Dolby, Surround Sound, and adjust for optimum performance via selection for room size. If your Cable TV package offers Digital Radio, just a couple of quick adjustments for Surround, Dolby, and room size and the music sounds like it is coming from your stereo. I highly recommend the Harmon Kardon SB 30 for people looking for a state of the art Sound Bar for their TV. Pros: Great Sound quality, ease of use. Cons: If your TV is a on a Table Top using it's stand and your Put the Harmon Kardon SB30 on the table in front of the TV it blocks access for the Television Control, I must stand up to get a signal to my TV. Highly Recommend mounting your Flat Panel TV on the wall and either mount the Harmon Kardon SB30 directly below the Mounted TV using the wall mounts that ship with the Harmon Kardon SB30 package. Or leave the Harmon Kardon SB30 sitting on the table top below the wall mounted TV.
SB 30 Written By Jim, Illinois on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Customer service was very helpful in selecting this sound bar. I told him what I was looking for, how much I wanted to spend, and asked his opinion of thee different sound bars in my price range. He suggested the SB 30 so I went with it. I am very pleased with how it sounds. Conversation clarity was my main concern since I wasn't satisfied with what I was hearing from my previous less expensive sound bar. Pros: Great sound. It met my expectations of what a system in this price range should deliver. Cons: Remote feels cheap but so long as it lasts it will be okay. Subwoofer will occasionally boom when switching signals but not always.
Great Sound Written By FRH, Concord, NC on Friday, April 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed easily. One digital fiber cable from TV and connect it to power. I taught my Harmony 900 how to control it and we were good to go. This is only being used to improve our TV sound, not used for music listening. Pros: Nice size & weight. It fit under my TV. I only had 4 1/2 inches. Cons: There is a delay when you say switch TV Chanels for the audio to play. And it starts out softly & ramps up. Wish the Power Led was more out front. When switching around in my Xbox, which is being used as a Windows Media Center extender, there is a big boom noise out of the sub woofer. I'm guessing some sub audible noise?.
Harman DardonSB 30 Written By GerA, Dallas, TX on Monday, January 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to install. Sound quality is far superior to my prior one.

Excerpted from Making Haste from Babylon by Nick Bunker. Copyright © 2010 by Nick Bunker. 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.
Q: What made you, as an Englishman, want to tell the story of the Mayflower Pilgrims?
A: Before they were American, they were English, and a revolutionary war had to be fought before the two nations separated for good. Long after the Mayflower, the history of England and America remained deeply intertwined. You can't understand one without delving into the other as well.
In my case there's also a family reason for my fascination with the American past. I'm called Bunker. In England we're very few and far between. For centuries the Bunkers lived lives of total obscurity, as farmhands and farriers and the like in the countryside northwest of London. Except for one Bunker, a yeoman farmer called George, born in about 1600 in a village in deepest Bedfordshire.
His local parish clergyman made a name for himself as an outspoken Puritan. It seems that George Bunker listened to his sermons and became a Puritan himself. In 1632, he sailed to Massachusetts, most likely on the Lyon, a ship which also supplied the Plymouth Colony. He settled at Charlestown, where he gave his name to Bunker Hill, but George was a free-thinking man who upset the authorities by supporting the religious radical Anne Hutchinson. So they took away his gun, and banned him from holding public office. Even so, he did well. George Bunker became one of the earliest benefactors of Harvard College. His descendants were still living at Charlestown in 1775, when Bunker Hill became a battlefield, while their cousins, another lot of Bunkers, were whaling captains on Nantucket.
You won't find George Bunker in Making Haste from Babylon, but his story wasn't so very different from those of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. It raises the same kind of questions. Exactly why did they embark on this bold, hazardous project called New England? What did they find when they arrived? How and why did they succeed, so that families like the Bunkers, who'd been unknowns in England, came to be entrepreneurs in America, the kind of people you read about in Moby Dick?
I find these questions fascinating, but very few Britons have shown any interest in answering them. That's why I decided to write the book. I felt that it was time the story was told from an English perspective, and I guessed that historians had overlooked a mass of relevant material here in the United Kingdom.
Q: You have an unusual background. You're not an academic specialist in early colonial history. You were a newspaper reporter, and then an investment banker before you turned to writing history. Have your past careers given you a unique perspective on the Pilgrims?
A: Not unique, but certainly wide-angled, which is valuable in itself. If we're trying to understand the foundation of New England, we have to break down the barriers which universities create, boundaries been the history of economics, religion, politics, and the natural world. We need to recognise that a marine biologist or a farmer in rural Maine can have as much to offer by way of insight as a specialist in Puritan theology. We also have to be scrupulous about accuracy. Most of my career as a journalist was spent at the Financial Times, where accuracy always came first.
Q: You unearthed an extraordinary number of documents relating to the Pilgrims and the early settlement of New England, most of them virtually untouched. How did you find these records? And what do they reveal?
A: It's a matter of timing. In the nineteenth century, when people started to look to the Pilgrim Fathers and the Mayflower as the inventors of America, scholars from New England began to make visits to London in search of archive material that might shed more light upon them. By the time of the tercentenary in 1920, it looked as though every relevant document had been discovered. Since then, many books have appeared about the Plymouth Colony, both academic and popular. But with only one or two exceptions the authors have relied entirely upon sources which were already in print a century ago.
Since 1945, record offices in England have made available huge quantities of new material from the Tudor and Stuart period, documents which were previously either hidden away in private hands, unlisted, or too badly damaged for use by scholars. Archivists have sorted out and numbered thousands of loose papers, created new catalogues, undertaken conservation projects, and become far more open and accessible. Of course, only a tiny fraction of their holdings relate to people involved in the settlement of New England. Even so they contain a wealth of relevant detail which simply wasn't available to researchers until quite recently.
I tried to be methodical. I made lists of the names of people referred to in previous histories of the early colonists, and the locations from which they came. Then I travelled the length and breadth of England, visiting record offices, searching for manuscript material relating to them. That alone took me about eighteen months, with more time later devoted to visiting Northern Ireland, France and the Netherlands.
Let's be clear: by itself, no single document will change our view of the Mayflower or New England. What I've done is to assemble a mosaic of fragments, as carefully as I can, to form a new picture of what happened. I hope it's much clearer than anything exhibited before. I wanted to show exactly how things were: how faith, politics, business and the necessities of physical survival interacted with each other, to produce what we now call Puritan America.
Q: What is the single most important new source you discovered?
A: It's always been thought that only one account survived of the flight of the Pilgrims from England across the North Sea to Holland in 1608, an account written by the Mayflower passenger William Bradford. I found it odd that such a dramatic event—nearly a hundred men, women and children, gathered on a beach to wait for a Dutch ship—should have left no trace in the State Papers.
So instead of using the catalogue, known as the Calendar of State Papers, I began to scroll through the entire microfilm of the original material from the year in question. It took half a day. Then suddenly I saw the names "Elvish" and "Stallingborough". I recognized Elvish as an alternative spelling of the name of Thomas Helwys, a leading religious nonconformist and a man regarded as a hero by many modern Baptists. Stallingborough I also knew, as the name of a creek on the Humber estuary, next to the modern oil tanker terminal at Immingham.
I nearly fell off my chair when I realized that I'd found a set of depositions, sworn statements taken by the local magistrates immediately after the event. They fully describe what happened, with names, dates and locations. Historians have overlooked these documents because, when the State Papers were catalogued in about 1856, the Victorian archivists failed to see their significance. I went back to check the Calendar, and I found that yes, the depositions were listed, but the entry was brief and cryptic. It gives no indication of the importance of what lies behind it.
Q: One of the key features of your book is that it places the Mayflower in a new global context, connecting the Pilgrims not only to religion, but to political and economic forces as well. How does this change our understanding of the settlement of North America?
A: It makes the story richer and deeper, more adult and more inclusive, and it removes the myths and clichés.
The year 1620 was the equivalent, in the seventeenth century, of 1931 in the twentieth. Western Europe was sliding into an economic depression, and the continent was already at war: a war that would last for thirty years and leave millions dead. It was the conflict described by Brecht in his play Mother Courage, set in this same period, when New England was being created. Meryl Streep played the title role in Central Park a few years ago, as the woman who drags her cart from one grim German battlefield to another, while civilization collapses. Her performance was very accurate. In the early seventeenth century, life was very, very hard and getting harder. From the Baltic to the Mediterranean, millions of people were forced to go on the road, moving back and forth in search of something better: not just Puritans but also gypsies, Jews and Irish exiles, and a vast multitude of anonymous peasants, driven off their soil by war, taxes, and bankruptcy.
So the voyage of the Mayflower was simply the most famous of many migrations, in a world of trauma. If we see it like that, suddenly it ceases to be a quaint children's tale. Instead, the Mayflower becomes a symbol of the experience of migrants of all kinds. Because we can find out much more about the Pilgrims than we can about most of the other exiles and refugees whom I mentioned, their story can be told with rare fidelity and accuracy. But I hope that many other kinds of people can see it as something relevant to their own lineage, even if they're not white Anglo-Saxon Protestants like me and like Bradford.
Q: You also give us the story of the men in London who saw the Mayflower as a way to make money. What sort of men were they, and why did they get involved?
A: I began with the list of shareholders in the Virginia Company, which financed the settlement at Jamestown, and I compared it with the only available list of investors in the Plymouth Colony. There's no overlap. That's a very important finding in itself. It tells you that the merchants in London who backed the Pilgrims were new, untried men, young and with little capital, who were trying to make a risky fortune by opening up a new source of supply of beaver skins, a long way from Chesapeake Bay.
But, as you'd expect with any enterprise, the bulk of the money seems to have come from a core group who were far more highly motivated than the rest. They included John Pocock, a London merchant whose career I've tried to reconstruct. He was an unsung pioneer of American business. He put up cash to finance the first ironworks in North America, on the Saugus River next to Lynn, Massachusetts, where today a General Electric plant makes jet engines for airliners. But Pocock was also an evangelical Puritan, and that was essential too. Whether we agree with him or not, that was what made him persevere with New England, when others didn't.
Q: The New World itself, along with many of its creatures, is just as prominent a character in your book as the Pilgrims. How did you learn so much about the land from the Kennebec Valley in Maine down to Cape Cod?
A: Nothing on earth exceeds the beauty of the American landscape, in grandeur, sublimity and scientific fascination. What's more, the engagement with terrain and with nature has defined much of American history. So no writer should even begin to approach the origins of colonial New England without due preparation.
Much of my early work was done at the British Library in London, which has superb collections of scientific journals from America. I've also built up my own collection of topographical maps from the US Geological Survey, which I have shipped over from a store in Boulder, Colorado, and soil, crop and wildlife reports from the US Department of Agriculture and from state governments. In Boston, I did research in the magnificent public library in Copley Square, the Massachusetts Historical Society, and the state archives. Up in Maine I used the library at the historical society in Portland, and the excellent collections at the state library and museum in Augusta.
Then I rented a car, and headed for the hills with a pair of stout boots, warm clothing from L.L. Bean, and a clutch of reservations in the cheapest motels I could find. A year later I did it all again, in case I'd missed anything. I waded up and down the beaches and in and out of the salt marshes of Cape Cod, and I explored most of Plymouth County on a bicycle. I did much the same in England, by the way. It was great fun, and very healthy.
I wrote the final chapter of the book—The Last Shaman—over three days in a motel room in Bingham, Maine, a long way up the Kennebec River, just as the first winter snows were falling and the deer hunting season was beginning. Then I drove down to Skowhegan, and celebrated with steak and eggs for breakfast.
Q: One of these creatures, the beaver, plays a particularly vital role in the story. What was so important about beavers? What did they allow the Pilgrims to accomplish that previous settlements had not achieved?
A: Colonies in North America could not succeed without a rare, valuable commodity that they could package up and send back to London. Otherwise, they couldn't pay down the debts they owed in the old country, debts they'd run up when they bought supplies to bring to Massachusetts or Virginia.
What did New England have to offer? Nothing better than beaver skins. They fetched a high price in London and Paris as raw material for producing felt, used to make sleek and fashionable beaver hats. The beaver hat was the Rolex watch, the Hermès scarf or the Prada handbag of its day, something every aspiring member of the English gentry wished to own. It's ironic, since we think of the Pilgrims as austere, frugal people—which they were—but they built New England on the back of luxury goods. The critical breakthrough came in 1628, when the price of beaver pelts soared because of a sea war between England and France.
Q: You say that Thanksgiving was actually based in part on Jewish traditions. Can you explain the Jewish roots of Thanksgiving and how the Pilgrims came to study Judaism?
A: I think you have to look at the origins of Thanksgiving in two ways. The festive, turkey-eating side of Thanksgiving has its roots in an event in the fall of 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people who surrounded them held a kind of harvest festival. They ate venison and wildfowl, and exchanged presents.
However, Thanksgiving has another dimension, which is religious. It's about giving thanks. And if you study William Bradford's narrative carefully, you will see that there was an earlier Thanksgiving, at the very moment when the Mayflower first dropped anchor in American waters, at Provincetown in November 1620. Bradford says that they "fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven, who brought them over the vast and furious ocean."
Now, whenever you read William Bradford, you need to have a Bible close at hand and preferably also a concordance with a dictionary of biblical words and phrases. You will find that in describing their arrival on Cape Cod, he used language taken from Psalm 107. This is very significant, because that psalm was the source of a Jewish thanksgiving prayer, called the birkat ha-gomel. Devout Jews are required to say the prayer when they reach the end of a journey safely. The Pilgrims copied the same ritual and performed it themselves.
We can be absolutely sure that Bradford knew that this way of giving thanks had Jewish origins. We know that he and his comrades greatly admired an English scholar called Henry Ainsworth, whose books traveled to America with them. Ainsworth belonged to a generation of English religious writers who, in the 1590s, became fascinated by Hebrew, Judaism, and by the commentaries on the Bible written by the rabbis of the Middle Ages. They believed that you had to study Hebrew if you wished to understand the Word of God and they treated the rabbis with great respect.
Ainsworth wrote his own commentary on Psalm 107, and he specifically refers to the birkat ha-gomel. He quotes from the great Jewish philosopher Maimonides, who traced the prayer back to its roots in this psalm. Later in life William Bradford began to learn Hebrew himself.
Q: One misconception that you try to correct in your book surrounds the lives the Pilgrims led in England. What was their experience really like?
A: They weren't poor, but even so they endured an existence that we would find intolerable. It wasn't a peaceful rural idyll. The best comparison I can give is with the plains of northern India today, along the valley of the Ganges in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, where conditions in the early 21st century resemble those in Jacobean England.
In other words, the Pilgrims came from an environment where the earth produced a meagre crop. Incomes were mostly tiny. Society was divided into a hierarchy of caste and status, and the gap between rich and poor was becoming wider and wider. People felt very insecure because of the risk of slipping downwards into poverty, and so they quarrelled and squabbled with each other.
Like the people of modern India, the Pilgrims could vote in elections and debate politics, but just like modern Indians they took religion far more seriously than anything else. All too often it gave rise to sectarian conflict, of the kind you encounter in Asia in our time. And in the time of James I, you couldn't trust your local government, because it was run by landowners with their own agenda: principally, looking after their own relatives and friends.
In fact, it was when I spent six weeks travelling up the Ganges, from Calcutta to the Himalayas, that I first began to think about this project. It happened very late one night in February 2004, as I was waiting for a train at Lucknow Junction. I saw a group of Hindu pilgrims returning from a shrine in the countryside. That planted the idea in my mind, though it was only in 2006 that I was able to start work.
Q: You write about the prominent role the press played in the success of the Pilgrims' colony. How did the press operate in the 1620 and how did it help ensure their survival?
A: Newspapers were very, very new, but they already did what the modern press does: they told striking, unusual stories about war, crime, and kings and queens. Like so many other innovations, the newspaper began in the Dutch Republic, where the first examples appeared in 1618. It's easy to see why. Not far away, the Thirty Years' War was beginning to escalate. The Dutch wanted to know what their old enemies, the Spanish, were up to.
The idea soon caught on in London too. The first genuine British newspaper—a regular, weekly publication, sold for a few pence, and dealing with current affairs—appeared in the autumn of 1621. The timing couldn't have been better. Newspapers created a taste for exciting, topical journalism, and that was what the Pilgrims could provide.
Before he sailed on the Mayflower, Edward Winslow had been apprenticed to a printer and publisher in London. His contacts included the men who were pioneering this new medium. So, when the Pilgrims wrote a narrative of their earliest adventures in New England, Mourt's Relation, they easily found a publisher. It appeared in print in 1622. Then Winslow wrote a sequel, called Good News from New England, which came out two years later.
This sort of thing was extremely important. Think about Jamestown, Virginia, which received a terrible press in England because of disease, internal strife, and bloody conflict with the Native Americans. Colonies needed flows of new investment from home, to keep them going until they achieved critical mass. So you needed to market and promote yourselves. That was what Winslow did, with the help of this new invention called journalism. The Plymouth Colony soon had a much better reputation than Jamestown. That (plus the beaver trade) helped attract a much bigger second wave of migrants to Massachusetts in 1630.

Deriving from the world of BMX, Eastern has a history of producing high quality bikes and bike parts at a value. In recent years, Eastern has branched off into making 26" dirt jump bikes which are stacked with a sweet compilation of parts and frames! The Nighttrain is Eastern's top level Dirt Jumper and features a full 4130 Chromoly frame with a double butted top tube and double butted downtube. The double butted downtube is offset and butted at the head to create an internal gusset, internal head tube for integrated headsets. This frame also includes a Spanish bottom bracket and an integrated seat clamp. The fork has been upgraded to a RockShox Argyle 318 with 100mm of travel and a 20mm through axel. Not only does this stiffen things up, but also reduces weight. The Nighttrain doesn't stop there with the upgrades, and includes Eastern Tribe 48 spline cranks outfitted with an Eastern shogun 7075 alloy Chainwheel. Eastern has really stepped up their game with the Nighttrain by using high quality parts and materials to enable this bike to weigh in at just less than 29 pounds. The concept of producing a bike that is both lightweight and durable is the number one challenge for bike engineers, and Eastern has hit it out of the park with the Nighttrain.

Comments about Eastern Nighttrain Bike 2013:
i dirt jump alot and this bike feels right at home on the trails, its light, manuals great and im very impressed with the quality of the bike.
my only issue with the bike is, the rear casette on mine is making popping noises and its brand new. it could just be a breaking issue or alignment. And the seat post is fixed not pivatl which for is a big thing. the seat post is plastic, but the seat is nice but i see a replacement in the future. other than that is a awesome bike. the brakes feel great! its hard for to tell a difference between my 20in and this bike its that good!

In honor of Saint Patrick's Day go green and enjoy these fun facts on green fruits and vegetables.
A good way to increase fruit and vegetable intake is to include them in every meal or have them on hand for snacks. Including fruits and vegetables from all five color groups (red, orange/yellow, green, blue/purple, and white) is important in having a more complete diet. This month let's try to get a little more green in our diet!
For nutritional counseling, Norman Regional Health System offers the guidance of registered dietitians. Those interested can schedule an appointment for an assessment with a referral from their family physician.

Hi, if I'm not mistaken the 260.19.06 NVIDIA drivers are/were Beta?
Why weren't the 260.19.12 drivers used?
Phoronix: NVIDIA GT 425M: Windows 7 Ultimate vs. Ubuntu 10.10
Back in August we looked at the gaming performance between Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 using a Lenovo ThinkPad W510, and the results were not too dramatic, but since then there has been a new release of Ubuntu (the 10.10 Maverick Meerkat) and new graphics hardware has been released. After receiving an ASRock Vision 3D system recently, which will soon be reviewed at Phoronix, we decided to compare its performance of the brand new GeForce GT 425M graphics processor under Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64.
Hi, if I'm not mistaken the 260.19.06 NVIDIA drivers are/were Beta?
Why weren't the 260.19.12 drivers used?
Sorry, I just remembered using 260.19.06 beta drivers when using 10.04 that's all.
I would assume little to no difference in performance between 260.19.06 and 260.19.12 then?
Today Quake Live is the most played OpenGL Cross plattform Game.
It can be played in Linux with Firefox, and in MS WOS with Firefox and MSIE.
I think gamers would like to see benchmarks, not only between MS WOS 7 and Ubuntu, include ARCH, Gentoo, Sabayon, SUSE, and other popular distros. 32 and 64 bits.
As hard gamers like to play in slower resolutions 640x480 and 800x600 because there are no dropped frames - and there are a lot in higher resolutions - Linuxes would beat a lot MS WOS 7 and perhaps a lot of gamers would install Linuxes for playing Quake Live and other online FPS games.
In Spanish we say "Are you my friend or lion's one?" - ¿Eres amigo mio o de león? when your friend is not on your side.
This same test, with Quake Live with Ubuntu beating MS WOS 7 in low res would have a espectaclar scope "UBUNTU READY FOR HARD GAMERS".
And of course Quake Live has different configurations, the important ones for harD gamers are 640x480 and 800x600 with pro configs - minimal effects config - and also you can test medium and full features for each resolution. Perhaps pro configs would run also faster in higher resolutions in Linuxes than in MS WOS systems.
I know a lot of Live Quake gamers that would change inmediately to any Linux distro if they read that is much faster than their MS WOS computers.
And of course, they would like to download the tests for their own machines.
Please do it, It will make me happy to make this hardgamers friends change to any Linux distro.
The second question is How can MS WOS improve so much in higher resolutions?
The method is dropping frames - a trick, not a real test - or what else?
Then this test mudt have dropped frames and other triks usd by OSs to evaluate results.
Nothing new. Drivers are optimized for specific resolutions. In the past this was 1024x768. I suppose today it's higher.
Btw, no, gamers don't use low resolutions. You're still stuck in the MS-DOS days.
Also, Quake is hardly a reason for anyone to switch to Linux. Gamers want Fallout 3, F1 2010, the upcomming Dragon Age, etc, etc, not Quake Live that's just the ancient Quake 3 Arena but in a browser.
Another useless comparison.
Linux is not a gaming platform. At best it can be used to run Windows games under Wine, but in this case no valid and realistic comparisons can be carried out because Wine semi-accurately emulates DirectX calls using OpenGL.
Unless Linux has at least 10% market share I highly doubt anything is going to change.
You forgot to mention that there is a 125 FPS cap. Combined with the fact that most people (including me) play with shitty resolutions + gfx settings comparable with a lego world + 10 years old engine, there is no need to improve anything performance wise.
What i actually did to improve the game experience is to set usbhid.mousepoll=1 on kernel command line to force 1000hz polling of my mouse. Also poking around with net rmem / wmem min/max/default makes some difference in hit recognition. Although i have yet to find the "optimal" settings.
Perhaps. I see less use in it than some.
Now, I'm hurt. The only reason it's "not a gaming platform" is solely because studios won't port games to it. The "fragmentation" argument is BS- and many problems for producing good binaries for all distributions and 32/64-bits are typically self-inflicted. WINE's a band-aid and should really only be used for things that won't get ported over. Old stuff. Mainly because of the very thing you comment to.Linux is not a gaming platform. At best it can be used to run Windows games under Wine, but in this case no valid and realistic comparisons can be carried out because Wine semi-accurately emulates DirectX calls using OpenGL.
Heh... Hate to disillusion you there- but we're already at that threshold according to something Ballmer showed people this year. You can actually do the math yourself- but someone else has done it for you:Unless Linux has at least 10% market share I highly doubt anything is going to change.
If you accept the figures that the industry pundits give on Netbooks, just for starters, the floor for shipped units using Linux (nobody will typically go out of their way to buy a Linux netbook and put Windows on it, sorry...) if you go off of the official shipped Netbook figures, is 6% of the total estimated market. That's the minimum and only using netbooks for a figure. The figure is quite a bit higher than that, obviously, because there's more than just netbooks out there.
You're AT the 10% figure you talk to- and there's some changes going on in the background that might change the story you're talking to.

Hamas fighters testing a Gaza-made M-75 long-range missile, November 2013 / Getty Images
Maariv's Eli Bardenstein offered a stunningly clear and disturbing report (in Hebrew, my translation below) on Friday that illustrates the vexing complications introduced into the triangular Jerusalem-Cairo-Gaza relationship by political turmoil in all three places. It makes a very useful companion piece to today's front-page New York Times report by Jodi Rudoren on Israeli jitters over instability on its eastern front.
In both cases, as Bardenstein notes and Rudoren sort of hints, the Netanyahu government is ignoring the intelligence supplied by its own security establishment, which shows jihadi organizations making life difficult for both Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south. The jihadis are creating turmoil, launching pinprick attacks on Israel that violate cease-fire agreements between Israel and Hezbollah and Hamas respectively. Hamas and Hezbollah are both besieged — Hamas by the new, anti-Islamist Egyptian military government, Hezbollah by jihadi spillover from the Syrian civil war (as well as political blowback from the Rafiq Hariri murder trial now underway in The Hague) — and are finding it increasingly difficult to enforce their respective cease-fires with Israel. Israel — meaning principally defense minister Moshe Yaalon — chooses to ignore the intelligence, blame Hamas and Hezbollah and launch military responses that only further weaken Hamas and Hezbollah and strengthen the jihadis.
I've translated Bardenstein's piece below, but here's the gist: Israel is alarmed at the unraveling of the November 2012 Pillar of Defense cease-fire "understandings" and the increasing rocket fire from Gaza — 17 rockets fired in January alone as of Friday (and more since then). It wants Egypt, which acts as mediator between Israel and Hamas, to pressure Hamas to stop the rocket fire. But Egypt has lost influence over Hamas since the military deposed the Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohamed Morsi last July. The military government's approach is not to work with Hamas as Morsi did but to crack down on it.
Hamas, in turn, complains that the Egyptian crackdown — particularly the mass destruction of smuggling tunnels, which squeezes the Gaza economy — weakens Hamas rule and reduces its ability to control the jihadi organizations that are doing the firing. And both Cairo and Hamas complain that Israel has been making the situation worse by Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon's insistence on responding to every single rocket launching, no matter how ineffectual, with aerial bombardment.

After having missed the boat with the last release of this gorgeous lip color, I thought I'd just have to let the idea go and either find a dupe or live without the perfect bright purple lipstick that I so craved. And then MAC heard my cries and released this into the permanent line! Huzzah!
I picked it up today and immediately applied it in the car. And it's glorious. Even though it's a matte shade, it doesn't dry out my lips like their matte formula usually does. It's actually quite weightless and comfortable.
It applies at full opacity with one swipe, but I have noticed that it is just ever so slightly patchy in the center of my bottom lip. I've not yet applied it over P+P Lip, however. I suspect it'll perform better over that.
It's super long-lasting. I've gone through a bottle of water and a hot tea and while there is transfer, it doesn't migrate all over my mouth or look super-faded. It also does not feather, which is practically miraculous on me.
I'm so glad I picked this up. Violetta was a touch too sheer for my liking – I need full coverage on my not-pigmented-at-all lips. So the re-launch of this amazing color is a godsend.
MAC Heroine Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "bright violet/purple." It's a medium-dark, red-toned purple with a satin finish. Heroine originally launched with Reel Sexy last March. MAC Seductive Intent is slightly lighter and pinker. MAC Strong Woman is darker, purpler. MAC Violetta has a light shimmer but is otherwise a worthy dupe to consider.

Refried Beans (Frijoles Refritos)
I have often wondered why refried beans were called refried beans. I guess it is because the dried beans are cooked once to reconstitute them and then cooked a second time, after mashing them, by frying them in lard. It is the frying them in the lard that makes them nice and creamy and full of flavour and good. You don't need to use the lard but it is best if you use some kind of fat. I don't often have lard on hand so I normally use bacon grease and since I am cooking the bacon for the grease anyways I usually throw the the bacon in as well. The source of fat can also be oil for a lighter and healthier or vegetarian version.
Refried beans are normally made with pinto beans but you can use any kind of beans that you want. I often enjoy using black beans instead of pinto beans. Simmering the dried beans to reconstitute them takes a while so I usually use caned beans, which I always have on hand, and that saves a lot of time.
Other than the beans and the fat, refried beans can be as simple or as complex as you like. You could easily leave them there or you can add in extras. For me, it depends on what I am using them for. If I am going to use the refried beans as a side dish or as a filling for burritos I might keep them simple and omit the onions and garlic. If what I am serving them with is already spicy then I might leave out the ground up chilies and cumin. If I am using the refried beans as a dip I would probably use everything in the recipe below and I might even add some tomato and jalapenos. I would also add some water to thin the refried beans out so that they would not break the tortillas chips when scooping. I would also garnish a refried bean dip with some shredded cheese and green onions or maybe some sour cream and cilantro. Refried beans are so versatile!
Refried Beans (Frijoles Refritos)
- 2 tablespoons lard (or bacon grease or oil etc.)
- 1 small onion (chopped, optional)
- 1 clove garlic (chopped, optional)
- 1 (19 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed, or black beans, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cumin (toasted and ground, optional)
- * water (optional)
- Heat the lard in a pan.
- Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the beans, chili powder and cumin and cook until warm.
- Mash the beans until you get them to the consistency that you want. (If the beans are too thick you can add water to thin them out.)

There's three kinds of attacks:
1) automated broad-scale attacks against random vbulletin boards found via google
2) specialized attacks specifically crafted for a certain forum
3) humans paid to manually register and spam
Type 1 attacks are easily defeated by changing the registration form in ways the bots don't expect. We've reduced the bots in a phpBB board with a few simple tricks:
- changed the URL of the registration form, most bots don't even find it any more. Disallowing the registration form in robots.txt seems to help, too.
- we made the "username" field invisible (via css). If anyone submits a non-empty "username", it's a bot.
- we added a field "actual_username" that's displayed instead. If anyone submits an empty actual_username, it's a bot.
It's as effective as a custom captcha but not as annoying.
Custom registration forms can be defeated by hand-crafting attacks to the specifics of the board (attacks of type 2), but usually nobody will bother. Our 100k-person board should be more attractive for such things, but it hasn't happened yet.
The best automation against Type 3) are badword-filters, disabling links in the first x posts or adding new threads of recently-registered to the moderator-queue.

A word of warning, Tom of www.tomshardware.com stepped down after a few years. It wasn't good for the site at the time. It took them several years to regain confidence.
Still, good luck! But I wish you wouldn't leave.
A lot of people STILL do not trust tom's hardware.
In fact it was me to point out the misleading benchmarks and misuse of PTS on the site when they decided to run their comparative linux benchmarks on the various processors. This also lead to PTS being changed so that recompiling the benchmarks when items like a change in processor was detected. What they were doing was compiling it once on a intel processor and then migrating the drive over to other systems and running the test again without a recompile. This lead to some false results (like on the SSL bench) where the intel processors were falsely shown as blowing the doors off the AMD's. If the benchmark had been recompiled as it should have been it would shown a drastic difference in results.

Senate GOP blocks Hagel vote for now
Friday - 2/15/2013, 3:46am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked the nomination of former GOP senator Chuck Hagel as the nation's next defense secretary over unrelated questions about President Barack Obama's actions in the aftermath of the deadly raid on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya. Obama accused Republicans of playing politics with national security during wartime, and Democrats vowed to revive the nomination after Congress' weeklong break.
By 58-40, with one abstention, the Senate fell short of the 60-vote threshold required to advance Hagel's nomination to a final, up-or-down vote on his confirmation. Four Republicans voted with Democrats to end the debate and proceed to a final vote: Sens. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Mike Johanns of Nebraska.
Obama reacted immediately, hammering Republicans for an unprecedented filibuster of a nominee for defense secretary and insisting that Hagel -- a former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska and twice-wounded Vietnam combat veteran -- will eventually win confirmation. He would succeed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who is stepping down after four years as CIA director and Pentagon chief.
"It's just unfortunate that this kind of politics intrudes at a time when I'm still presiding over a war in Afghanistan and I need a secretary of defense who is coordinating with our allies to make sure that our troops are getting the kind of strategy and mission that they deserve," the president said in an online chat sponsored by Google.
In the final minutes of the tally, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., switched his vote from "yes" to "no," a procedural move that allows him to revive the nomination after the break. He set another vote for Feb. 26.
"Just when you thought things couldn't get worse, it gets worse," the Democratic leader lamented of the chamber's bitter partisanship.
The successful Republican effort to block a vote on Hagel leaves one of the most contentious nominations of the Obama presidency in limbo, although Republicans signaled that they would relent and allow a simple majority vote on Hagel when they return from their recess.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., voted against ending debate. But he said that he expects to change his vote, and he believes many of his GOP colleagues will do the same.
"I'm confident that after a reasonable period of time I'm going to vote to end the debate so that we can have an up-or-down vote on Chuck Hagel," Alexander said. "I suspect there will be a large number of Republican senators who also do that."
Echoing a complaint by other Republicans, Alexander called Thursday's vote "unfortunate" and "unnecessary" because Hagel's nomination came up on the Senate floor too quickly -- just two days after it was approved by a bitterly divided Armed Services Committee.
Still, a week without any resolution and the possibility of any surprises are the last things any White House wants for its nominees. Hagel's nomination has been unusual, facing a well-funded opposition that has unleashed a barrage of criticism in campaign-style television and print ads. Hagel has faced intense opposition from Republicans, who have challenged his past statements and votes on Israel, Iran, Iraq and nuclear weapons.
At least one group insisted shortly after the vote that it would redouble its efforts to defeat Obama's choice.
"The Emergency Committee for Israel will continue to work to convince a majority of senators of the undeniable truth that we can do much, much better than Mr. Hagel," William Kristol, chairman of the group said in a statement.
The vote on Hagel combined with the delay on CIA Director-designate John Brennan's nomination puts Republicans in a tough position as Democrats are certain to cast them as filibustering two critical members of the Obama's second-term national security team.
"Today's vote to filibuster Chuck Hagel's nomination by Republicans is a disgrace, and the GOP is now holding America's security and its troops hostage," said Jon Soltz, an Iraq war veteran and chairman of VoteVets.org.
Republicans, led by Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, had been blocking the confirmation of their former colleague until they received information from the White House on when Obama contacted Libyan officials after the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi last September in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed.
The White House responded to questions about Benghazi by saying former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Libyan President Mohamed Magariaf on Obama's behalf on Sept. 11, the day of the attack, to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler said Obama spoke to Magariaf on the evening of Sept. 12.

At the burning tip of a blunt, when it starts to burn down farther on one side than on the rest of the blunt, it is canoeing. This can be fixed by wetting a fingertip with saliva and dampening the burned down end. This is not only with blunts either. This can easily happen with joints and it happens with cigarettes sometimes too.
