Something about the eye beams on the cover look piss poor to me. Or is it the thin ropey metalic danger that makes it look bad?
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DC Universe have released the full details on the SUPERMAN: UNBOUND Blu-ray and DVD. The next animated film in the DCU has also a sneak peek at Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox. Check out he full details below.
The Official Press Release: A destructive force is devastating planets across the galaxy – with Earth next in its sights – and even Superman may not be capable of halting the terror in SUPERMAN: UNBOUND, the next entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies. Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, the all-new, PG-13 rated film arrives May 7, 2013 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment as a Blu-ray™ Combo Pack ($24.98 SRP) and DVD ($19.98 SRP), On Demand and for Digital Download. The Blu-ray™ Combo Pack will include UltraViolet™*.
Based on the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank 2008 release "Superman: Brainiac," SUPERMAN: UNBOUND finds the Man of Steel aptly handling day-to-day crime while helping acclimate Supergirl to Earth's customs and managing Lois Lane's expectations for their relationship. Personal issues take a back seat when the horrific force responsible for the destruction of Krypton – Brainiac – begins his descent upon Earth. Brainiac has crossed the universe, collecting cities from interesting planets – including Supergirl's home city of Kandor – and now the all-knowing, ever-improving android has his sights fixed on Metropolis. Superman must summon all of his physical and intellectual resources to protect his city, the love of his life and his newly-arrived cousin.
The film's stellar voicecast is led by Matt Bomer (White Collar) as Superman, John Noble (Fringe, The Lord of the Rings films) as Brainiac, Stana Katic (Castle) as Lois Lane and Molly Quinn (Castle) as Supergirl. Additional voices in the cast include Golden Globe Award winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under) as Ma Kent, Wade Williams (The Dark Knight Rises) as Perry White, Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show, Office Space) as Steve Lombard, Stephen Root (Boardwalk Empire, Justified) as Zor-El, and Alexander Gould (Weeds) as Jimmy Olsen.
Supervising Producer James Tucker (Justice League, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) also directs the film from a script by Bob Goodman (Warehouse 13, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns).
"SUPERMAN: UNBOUND adds an all-new chapter to the growing legacy of animated films featuring the Man of Steel and his epic challenges to maintain peace on Earth," said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Home Video Vice President, Family & Animation and Partner Brands Marketing. "Matt Bomer's voice epitomizes the All-American hero that is Superman, and John Noble counters that tone with a commanding, chilling delivery for Brainiac. A superhero is only as good as the depths of his opposition, and Noble brings out the best in his villainous portrayal of Brainiac."
SUPERMAN: UNBOUND Blu-ray™ Combo Pack has over 4 1/2 hours of exciting content, including:
Standard and high definition versions of the feature film UltraViolet™*
Sneak Peek at Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, the next DC Universe Animated Original Movie

That is, until the city was ripped from its world and placed into a small glass bottle! This is the short story highlighting the shrunken city of Kandor. Its history just as fascinating as it is unique, here is how it ties in directly with the Man of Tomorrow.
Featurette – "Brainiac: Technology and Terror" – An all-new featurette. Mostly machine, but part sentient being, Brainiac steals cities and destroys worlds. Is he the most vile of Superman's villainous foes? Experience the Brainiac mythology and find out why Superman barely stands a chance!

Anybody else think it's funny that DC titled flashpoint justice league: flashpoint. Sad I read where WB have said the only dc direct movies getting release now are superman, batman, or justice league. DC/WB is so scared that none of their characters can sell after wonder woman didn't do too well and the BO of Green Lantern.
i wish they made a superman toon with the animation style that fire and ice had, and throw some cool 3D backround image to make it the best DC toon ever made. now that would be fucking great...because all the old and new Dc toons just keep changing supermans face and body , voice but they have never made a great toon movie to date. also could be like in the Heavy Metal style animation. some day maybe..
@shac2846 If you're talking about the Direct to DVD of Wonder Woman not selling well, that's just sad because it was a really REALLY good cartoon. Probably one of the best of the bunch.
I think we are long over due for a Superman Animated series. We´ve had nothing since STAS, since then Batman has gotten at least 4 (?? dunno, lost count) and there´s a new Batman animated series taking Young Justice´s spot, later this year.

I am looking at getting a 5870 eyefinity 6 edition card. The drivers in ubuntu lucid (10.04) say they support eyefinity.
From what I can see these (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A3V6BK4D0HKA8F) mini-displayport to vga adapters should work.
What I want to do is setup a 4x1 eyefinity setup of 1920x1200 monitors for a total of 7680x1200. That is supposed to be a supported resolution option.
Will this work without xinerama or anything like that? Will stuff like composite work? Right now I have dual 8800 GTS nvidia cards with xinerama and it is pretty slow mostly because of lack of composite. When I tried it with xgl long ago it was very very fast but crashed a lot. Eyefinity is supposed to solve this problem.
I don't really care if compiz actually works although that would be nice. I mostly want to not use xinerama anymore as a primary feature and allow kde to work across all 4 monitors as one desktop. My secondary feature would for it to be much faster then the current xinerama setup which is not hard to beat. I would love if it supported composite correctly so that desktop effects could be enabled in kde since that also makes it run a heck of a lot faster when I tested that using just two monitors.
It is in the changelog that I found it. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source...ler/+changelog just look in there for eyefinity and it says it supports it. It was also reported on this site a while ago but no idea if someone actually tested it. It could be a bad changelog.
I am really hoping it works because I am tired of xinerama with two nvidia cards. However I won't order one until I know that eyefinity actually works under linux.
You can use at most two of the cheap passive DisplayPort to DVI adapters. Connecting further monitors requires native DisplayPort or expensive active adapters (usually marketed as "DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI").
I was not planning on using displayport to dvi. I was planning on using displayport to vga. From what I read all displayport to vga adapters are active because they have to be to create the vga signal. They just power off the port since they are very low power. In the widescreengaming forums people report that they do work for eyefinity.
My monitors don't even have dvi input. They have vga, hdmi, composite and a few others but no dvi. The displayport to hdmi stuff active adapters are pretty expensive and when I have tested my monitors with vga input vs hdmi input at 1920x1200 I can't see any difference so the vga adapters seemed like the best option.
hdmi is the same as dvi technically - just buy a cheap cable if you need dvi on one side.
Well the 5870 eyefinity 6 has 6 mini displayport connectors. To run 4 monitors 2 of the connectors must be active connectors. Active dvi/hdmi connectors are $100 but active vga connectors are $10 and the quality output between hdmi and vga seems to be identical.
It just seems to make more sense to use 4 mini displayport to vga adapters then active dvi/hdmi ones. It is far far cheaper and at least on my monitors I have I can't see any difference between hdmi and vga connections. On my 8800GTSs running my monitors at 1920x1200 with either hdmi or vga the output looks exactly the same to me.
That's just too funny, in that case you could buy 2 nv cards too when you need dvi on 4 monitors
I have dual 8800GTS cards right now and I want to get away from dual cards. Xinerama is buggy and slow. Eyefinity should completely deal with that problem. I could connect all the monitors with hdmi using two passive adapters and two active adapters but hdmi does not give any higher quality then vga does.
I even did a fair bit of research online for that and a lot of people would claim the all digital connection was better but no tests which actually showed that expect on very early lcd monitors. Later ones fixed those problems.
I just wanted to know if eyefinity would actually work correctly and that I would get normal acceleration across all 4 desktops and hopefully stuff like the composite extension working.
Do you REALLY expect that something from ati just works with Linux? Have fun...

Can somebody from Intel (kayden maybe?) tell me why "Double checking device has KMS support before claiming it" is needed...? Hardware would be static, so if you check it now or if you check it 10minutes from now...whether or not it has KMS support shouldn't change so why bother double-checking it?
Alternatively: 1 is static. If I do
return true
return false
now, or 10 minutes from now... it should always return true. If it returns false, then we've broken the universe, which while MUCH more interesting, is wrong.

The most intimate and beautiful of all hugs. You start with you your hands really close together and make contact with the generalized belly-button area of the lucky recipient. Then your hands split off to adventure back to the small of the other persons back. Once your hands are around the kidneys, pull them in real tight and make a quick turn up toward the shoulder blades. Once you've finally come to rest at the upper back, possibly even wrapping around to the top of their shoulders, try to maintain a well distributed pressure over their entire body. A deep smell of their neck and pelvic thrust are encouraged, though optional.

Sorry all the Sasori related threads, but I rewatched the fight and I noticed something.
Chiyo should've died, and with that, Sakura would also have died, I'll explain.
Which means that Chiyo lived even though she was poisoned, with no explanation.
Seems like a plot hole to me, or did Kishi run out of Plot no Jutsu ideas...

Grammy Award-winning multiplatinum hard rock innovators KORN will unveil their 11th studio album, THE PARADIGM SHIFT, in stores and via digital retailers on October 8, 2013 on Prospect Park.
THE PARADIGM SHIFT marks the emotional return of co-founding guitarist Brian "Head" Welch for his first album with KORN since 2003's Take a Look in the Mirror, and it serves as the follow-up to the band's 2011 critically acclaimed trend-setting dubstep metal hybrid, The Path of Totality, which debuted Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and was named Revolver Magazine's "Album of the Year."
THE PARADIGM SHIFT is also KORN's first time working with super producer Don Gilmore [Linkin Park's The Hybrid Theory, etc.] who recorded the album with the band at Buck Owens' studio in their original hometown Bakersfield and at Los Angeles's famed NRG Recording Studios. They initially announced Head's return via a captivating clip on RollingStone.com and went on to discuss the reunion together in this in-depth interview on ARTISTdirect.com.
The rock luminaries recently embarked on their reunion run stateside headlining the sold out Rock on the Range Festival which drew over 40,000 fans in Columbus, OH and making stops at Rocklahoma and more. Currently, they are raging across Europe, playing coveted main stage spots at Download, Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, and more.
THE PARADIGM SHIFT holds a special significance for these musicians. Guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer explains, "It's a term encompassing different perspectives. You can view a piece of art from one angle and it takes on a certain image. If you look from another angle, it's a completely different image. We liken that to KORN in 2013. With Head back in the fold, all of the elements fans have loved since day one are there, but we're interpreting them from a new perspective. It's a bigger, brighter, and bolder KORN."
Be prepared for another staggering, seismic and soaring offering from KORN.
i cant wait!! please bring david back. you guys will get the real sound back with david. Now head is back it will be 80% korn. i listen since the beginning i really hear when its not david. i wish you guys the best! i will Always a listener of korn. greatest sound ever.! much love from the Netherlands! God bless

You can downgrade down to 9-4.
Maybe someone of you can help me, though I fear this is a general error with fglrx these days. My problem: it is not possible for me to start games from Runesoft that are based on the Ogre engine. I now own Ankh, Ankh2 as well as Jack Keane and neither of those games wants to start, all exist with a lovely segfault. About one year ago I was still able to at least play Ankh2 on my amd64 linux box, so I fear some regression got into, but maybe I am just doing something wrong.
Here is what I do:
Start any of the runesoft games with a system with fglrx (latest, some older ones make no difference either). The result is a segfault. When starting the game (in this example Jack Keane) in gdb, the result is as follows:
It makes no difference if I have composite active or not. You can test if it works for you using the Ankh2 demo (which crashes as well!). It is available via torrent and the torrent is eg linked at linux-gamers.net.$ gdb ./jk

My system:
* Gentoo amd64 (unstable) with multilib installed (required for the runesoft games since they are 32bit only)
* Core2Quad Q9300
* HD3850 512MB with latest fglrx (9.5 crashes, too IIRC, downgrading further is not really possible without downgrading xorg-server...)
* xorg-server 1.6.2-rc1 (running kde 4.2.4)
* kernel 2.6.30 (yes, some patches for fglrx required, but with an older kernel it crashes, too)
* glibc 2.10.1
If composite is active or not seems not to affect the situation.
Can anybody of you confirm this problem? Does someone maybe have a solution (beside some "get an nvidia card!") for the problem? Does it also happen with fglrx on 32bit, or is it fine there? Or do you even use fglrx on 64bit and don't observe this problem?
I tried starting ankh2 with the open source drivers and, oh wonder, it starts, but since there is no 3D support for r6xx so far everything is done via the mesa software rasterizer and thus is unbearable slow (~1fps). So the game itself can at least start in a (very) recent 64bit environment with multilib...
You can downgrade down to 9-4.
And with this one I get the same error.
Just tried using radeon (yeah, 3D via pure software...) and then it is possible to start the game without segfault (unplayable with ~1fps, but it does start and show the intros and title screen). So I really assume that it is basically fglrx playing tricks on me.

Im developing a game with ogre too, but my problem is that with 9.x drivers Ogre doesnt works properly. I dont get a segfault, but just a black screen with patches of pixels. I got the same with 3 different cards, when I use the opengl renderer (yep, it is broken too under windows). Im sorry, but Im thinking to recommend Nvidia for playing. So, dont feel bad, you are not alone.
If your card is not too recent, try with some 8.x driver.
I did some searching on the Ogre site looking for more info but the only issue I saw there was related to hardware mipmap generation, with a conclusion that Ogre seemed to be one of the few apps actually using it and maybe it wasn't worth the bother. I didn't see any reports related to Ogre on the ati.cchtml.com tracker either.
I doubt that the reported mipmap problem would explain what rogerdv is seeing, and I'm sure it wouldn't explain the segfault though. Can someone confirm this happens on a directly supported OS (released versions of OpenSuSE or Ubuntu, I guess) and then get cross-linked tickets into both Ogre and fglrx trackers ?
Last edited by bridgman; 06-20-2009 at 01:03 PM.
Yep, I read about the mipmapping problem. So, do you think it is not the cause of my problem? Too bad, I had hope it would be solved in Ogre 1.6.3 with some dirty hack that disables hardware mipmapping.
I don't really know; all I have to go on is that the forum posts seemed to describe the problem as moderate corruption while your problem sounded like essentially nothing being drawn. The only way to be sure I guess is to patch out the use of mipmap generation.

Leake looks to cool down hot-hitting Astros
Houston has 11 games with double-digit hits in 19 contests this season, including each of the last four. The Astros have also outscored opponents, 89-81, but have just a 7-12 record to show for it.
"I think we're a scrappy ballclub," closer Brett Myers said. "I said last year, we get in those situations where they have a two-, three-, four-run lead and kind of lay down. I think these younger guys are coming up and doing a good job and battling and working their way through at-bats and ... wearing bullpens down."
Leake, 0-2 with a 6.50 ERA, will try to put a stop to that in the series opener at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. The Reds enter the series after having their three-game winning streak snapped in a 6-5 loss against the Giants on Thursday afternoon, whereas the Astros had Thursday off.
Leake endured one really bad inning in his most recent outing that led to a loss against the Cubs. He surrendered four runs in the second inning and a total of 10 hits and five earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in the game.
"They know I like to throw strikes and get ahead, and they took advantage of that," Leake said afterward. "I just wasn't mixing up enough, and I was leaving hittable balls over the plate."
For his career, Leake is 2-3 with a 4.45 ERA in seven games (five starts) against the Astros.
Houston will counter with left-hander Wandy Rodriguez, who has been terrific over his previous two starts, posting a 0.64 ERA. He tossed seven shutout frames against the Dodgers his last time out.
Kyle Weiland had been scheduled to start the opener, but he was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday so he can rest the soreness in his right shoulder.
"Wandy continues to throw the ball well, and we need it, especially from where he is in the rotation," manager Brad Mills said. "He's a guy that's going to give us a quality start and a chance to pitch deep into games. He's thrown well, and the other guys have fallen in line."
Rodriguez's 3.28 ERA since 2009 ranks second among National League lefties, behind Los Angeles' Clayton Kershaw.
In a ceremony that will begin on the field at Great American Ball Park shortly before first pitch, the Reds and Sharon Robinson, daughter of Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, will honor Raeya Ponugoti, the grand-prize winner of the 2012 "Breaking Barriers: In Sports, In Life" essay contest.
Astros: Schaefer streaking
Center fielder Jordan Schafer has reached base safely in all 19 games this season, the longest stretch by an Astros player to start a campaign since Ricky Gutierrez reached base in 23 consecutive games in 1998.
The club record is 25 games, set by Denis Menke in 1969.
With Wednesday's 7-5 win over the Brewers, 11 of the Astros' 19 games have been decided by two runs or fewer. The Astros are 3-8 in those contests.
Reds: Rolen starting to heat up
After hitting just .111 through his first nine games, Scott Rolen has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, raising his average to .183.
The 37-year-old Rolen entered Thursday's loss as part of a double-switch in the top of the seventh and led off the bottom of the inning with a home run, his second in as many nights.
"I've always said it takes an older player longer," Reds manager Dusty Baker said of Rolen, who also missed most of the second half of 2011 with a left shoulder injury that required surgery. "I've seen it with the Yankees and different older teams. Those bones and muscles need heat. They don't need cold, wet and dampness. I'm not even playing and wherever I was hurt before is aching."
Rolen also needs just one double to pass Roberto Alomar (504), who is 50th on baseball's all-time doubles list. With one more double, Rolen would tie Tony Perez for 49th and fall just one shy of Babe Ruth, who has 506.
Worth noting
Cincinnati is 429-394-1 all-time against the Astros and 31-15 over the last three seasons. The Reds have won 28 of the last 40 games between the two teams and 11 of the last 13 series.
Thirteen of Houston's 16 games from April 13-29 have been or will be on the road.

Easter Bunny gets pulled over
California man busted for not wearing a helmet
UPDATED 4:13 AM HST Apr 02, 2013
The Easter Bunny got busted for not obeying the rules of the road in California this past weekend.
Well, someone dressed up like the Easter Bunny, anyway.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the man was pulled over for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle on Interstate 8 in suburban San Diego on Saturday.
The bunny said he was on his way to an Easter charity event.
He got off with a warning, but also got a lecture to always wear a helmet.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.N. General Assembly has overwhelmingly approved the first U.N. treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar international arms trade.
The resolution adopting the landmark treaty was approved by a vote of 154 to 3 with 23 abstentions.
The 193-member world body voted after Iran, North Korea and Syria blocked its adoption by consensus at a negotiating conference last Thursday. The three countries voted "no" on the resolution.
The vote capped a more than decade-long campaign by activists and some governments to regulate the $60 billion global arms trade and try to keep illicit weapons out of the hands of terrorists, insurgent fighters and organized crime.
It will not control the domestic use of weapons in any country, but it will require countries to establish national regulations to control arms transfers.

Player suspensions tossed out in bounty case
Wednesday - 12/12/2012, 11:14am EST
By BRETT MARTEL
AP Sports Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Four players embroiled for nearly 10 months in the NFL's bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints no longer have to worry about suspensions or fines, and can try to move on with their careers on the field.
Off the field, the fallout from the dispute could endure for some time, particularly in federal court.
In a surprising rejection of his successor's overreaching punishments, former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue threw out "all discipline" current Commissioner Roger Goodell had imposed on two current Saints, linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith, and two players no longer with the club, Browns linebacker Scott Fujita and free-agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove.
Tagliabue, appointed by Goodell to handle player appeals in the matter, essentially absolved Fujita, but agreed with Goodell's finding that the other three players "engaged in conduct detrimental to the integrity of, and public confidence in, the game of professional football."
The 22-page ruling Tuesday allowed both sides to claim victory more than nine months after the league first revealed the Saints' bounty scandal to shocked fans, describing a performance pool operated by former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams that, among other things, rewarded hits that injured opponents.
The four players punished by Goodell have maintained they were innocent of taking part in bounty program from the beginning, saying they never intended to injure anyone on the field. Vilma even has filed a defamation lawsuit against Goodell in U.S. District Court in Louisiana, and his lawyers, Peter Ginsberg and Duke Williams, said they intend to continue to pursue those claims "vigorously."
"Commissioner Tagliabue's rationalization of Commissioner Goodell's actions does nothing to rectify the harm done by the baseless allegations lodged against Jonathan," Vilma's lawyers said a statement. "Jonathan has a right and every intention to pursue proving what really occurred and we look forward to returning to a public forum where the true facts can see the light of day."
While no other players have yet filed similar lawsuits, Hargrove's agent, Phil Williams, said this week that "the NFL dragged (Hargrove's) name through the mud and lied about him," costing him an entire season of his career.
Hargrove was cut by Green Bay shortly before the regular season. His agent said a number of other teams inquired about signing him, but only after they were confident that bounty matter had been resolved. That has finally happened, as far as the NFL is concerned, but there are only three weeks left in the regular season.
Vilma, suspended by Goodell for the entire current season, and Smith, suspended four games, have been playing for the Saints while their appeals were pending. Fujita who was facing a one-game suspension, is on injured reserve. Hargrove's suspension initially stood at eight games but was reduced to seven with credit for his first five games missed as a free agent, essentially reducing the ban he'd been facing to two games.
Appearing on "CBS This Morning" on Wednesday, NFL Players Association chief DeMaurice Smith said the NFL should issue an apology to the players.
"The investigation that the League did was sloppy, the investigation that they did was more outcome-focused than frankly process-focused," Smith said. "First and foremost, they should say they're sorry because they've maligned the character of good players."
Tagliabue's ruling did nothing to vindicate Saints coaches or the organization. Rather, the former commissioner criticized the Saints as an organization that fostered bad behavior and tried to impede the investigation into what the NFL said was a performance pool designed to knock targeted opponents out of games from 2009 to 2011, with thousands of dollars in payouts.
A "culture" that promoted tough talk and cash incentives for hits to injure opponents _ one key example was Vilma's offer of $10,000 to any teammate who knocked Brett Favre out of the NFC championship game at the end of the 2009 season _ existed in New Orleans, according to Tagliabue, who also wrote that "Saints' coaches and managers led a deliberate, unprecedented and effective effort to obstruct the NFL's investigation."
The former commissioner did not entirely exonerate the players, however.
He said Vilma and Smith participated in a performance pool that rewarded key plays _ including hard tackles _ while Hargrove, following coaches' orders, helped to cover up the program when interviewed by NFL investigators in 2010.
"My affirmation of Commissioner Goodell's findings could certainly justify the issuance of fines," Tagliabue said in his ruling. "However, this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization."

DelaineYellow Springs, OHGood Product, Travels WellThis is a replacement and it works wellposted Nov 15, 2005Link to this post
AndreaNYSurprisingly Effective!Its a silly looking thing but gets the job done. Takes a little longer to dry than with a regular diffuser. It fits really well over a small/travel hair blower. Light, packable. Im very pleased.posted Oct 21, 2005Link to this post
LisetteThese Are Great!!I buy these all the time since they are sold at such a good price. They keep my hair from getty frizzy unlike those plastic diffusers and they fit on pretty much any blow dryer. Unlike the plastick diffusers, it controls how much how air blows on your hair. With plastic diffusers, your hair is still blowing everywhere. After a while, they may get holes in them but they do last very long. I just buy another one since theyre only $5.00.posted Oct 19, 2005Link to this post
ScottChapel HIll, NCWhat A Good IdeaI bought two, after reading the reviews. Its such a simple tool, hard to believe it makes such a difference, but it does. It doesnt lift and dry like the hard diffusers with "fingers", but it fits on my travel hairdryer, the gyms hairdryer--much more versatile than the hard kind which had me pulling my old Conair dryer out of retirement.posted Sep 16, 2005Link to this post
KaDenverGreat InventionThis is the perfect item for travel! Good amount of diffusion for curls.posted Sep 6, 2005Link to this post
AnnaAwesomeIts not as good as a regular diffuser, but then its not supposed to be, its portable and less bulky. I have fine, wavy hair and this works great for me. If you have very thick or coarse hair, you may just want to keep one for your travel bag and stick with a regular diffuser at home. But I really love it and think most people would be happy with it. The price is great and even if you dont like it as much as I do, its hardly a big risk and I dont think anyone would find it totally useless.posted Aug 23, 2005Link to this post
DonnaWoonsocket, RIHot Sock!This diffuser sure beats having one of those big, bulky, plastic attachments at the end of your hair dryer. If you dont need to add a lot of fullness to your hair, this is the way to go.posted Jul 21, 2005Link to this post
PjOrange County, CalifroniaHot Sock Ultralight DiffuserI really thought it would replace my regular diffuser, but it is awkward and doesnt have the same benefit to give my curls.posted Jun 7, 2005Link to this post
CarolinaJamison, PAHot Sock Ultralight DiffuserUltralight is right! I love it not only because it makes my hair look great,its the most convenient diffuser ever! It fits into my cosmetic over night bag, I bought 2, one for home and one to stay in my over night bag, so Im never without it.posted Jun 7, 2005Link to this post

You can be pleasantly plump
Blog Entry:
January 02, 2013 11:04 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Depending on how you ate over the holidays, you might take comfort in
this Bloomberg story
, which includes a comment from a
Cleveland Clinic
"People who are pleasantly plump may have a lower risk of dying than those who are considered the ideal weight or who are markedly obese," the news service reports.
The report, published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association, "reviewed 97 studies involving more than 2.88 million people globally," according to Bloomberg. "It found the lowest risk among those who are overweight though not obese, according to generally accepted health standards. Those just over the obesity threshold had the next lowest risk."
But the report shouldn't be viewed as a free pass to overindulge. The heaviest participants were 29% more likely to die from any cause during the course of the studies, according to the data.
"Being mildly obese or just overweight doesn't increase your risk on average, but severe obesity is still a killer," says Philip Schauer, director of the Clinic's
Bariatric and Metabolic Institute
, who wasn't involved in the study.
"Fifteen to 20 million Americans are severely obese, and they need to adhere to New Year's resolutions to lose weight or get bariatric surgery," he tells Bloomberg.
For the record, Bloomberg says a 6-foot man is considered overweight at 185 pounds, mildly obese at 225 and severely obese at 260 pounds. A 5'4" woman is overweight when she's above 145 pounds, obese at 175 pounds and severely obese at 205 pounds.
Global leader
is the way to ring in the new year.
Harvard Business Review
just named its "100 Best-Performing CEOs in the World," and Chris Connor, CEO of Cleveland-based paintmaker
Sherwin-Williams Co.
, is No. 60. He's the only Northeast Ohio CEO of the list.
The publication's scorecard evaluates CEOs on the basis of the results they delivered over their entire tenures in office. It incorporates three metrics: industry-adjusted shareholder returns, country-adjusted shareholder returns, and increase in market capitalization over that time frame.
By those standards, Mr. Connor makes the list on the strength of a 747% total shareholder return and a $16 billion increase in market capitalization since he became CEO in 1999.
This and that
Cliff diving:
Surprised that the fiscal cliff deal does nothing to address the long-term deficit?
You shouldn't be, according to
New York Times blog post
, which cites research from the
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
The post is written by Bruce Bartlett, who held senior policy roles in the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations and served on the staffs of U.S. Reps. Jack Kemp and Ron Paul.
He writes that according to
Cleveland Fed data
, "none of the preconditions that historically are necessary for a significant budget deal are now present. Inflationary expectations continue to fall and real interest rates are very low. Hence, it is impossible for politicians to promise any benefit from large spending cuts or tax increases that would materially improve peoples' lives. The benefits are purely abstract."
Mr. Bartlett then concludes, "This suggests that we are a long way from meaningful legislative action on the deficit."
Ready to rumble:
Some of the biggest U.S. banks are barging into their rivals' backyards,
The Wall Street Journal
, as they bet that 2013 "will bring a long-awaited rise in demand for loans."
The country's largest bank by assets, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., is expanding in Charlotte, N.C., home town of No. 2 Bank of America, while that bank, in turn, "adds to offices in traditional J.P. Morgan strongholds Cincinnati and Cleveland."
Together, the companies "are adding nearly 100 commercial bankers across the U.S., including footholds in Minneapolis and Pittsburgh, the hometowns, respectively, of regional rivals U.S. Bancorp and PNC Financial Services Group Inc."
The moves "are the latest sign that big banks need rising lending income to offset revenue lost to a regulatory overhaul and public backlash against fees,"
The Journal
reports. "The narrowing spread between banks' deposit and lending rates is forcing some banks to escalate their search for loans and get more aggressive on pricing in hopes they can offset their margin compression by increasing lending volume."
On the up and up:
The pace of global skyscraper production is soaring, Bloomberg
, and a Cleveland company noted that this trend means good things for the elevator business.
Bloomberg reports that as many as 24 skyscrapers approaching 1,000 feet may be completed in 2013, compared with nine in 2012, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
The recovery in skyscraper demand is good news for companies that make elevators. Bloomberg said Cleveland-based researcher
The Freedonia Group
estimates the global elevator market will grow 6.4% annually to $90 billion for five years ended in 2015.

Ducati prepares to smash the adventure bike market to pieces with its 2010 Multistrada 1200
The Ducati team set itself a very ambitious goal when it went about re-imagining its least popular model, the Multistrada adventure bike. The aim was to make the 2010 Multistrada a much more flexible bike than anything before it, offering proper sportsbike performance, true long-range touring abilities, easy commuting and a genuine ability to get offroad and play in the dirt. Starting with the monstrous v-twin from the 1198 superbike, the design team has pulled together and integrated a huge range of cutting-edge technologies to get there. In fact, with its traction control, variable engine maps and electronically adjustable Ohlins suspension, there's a good argument to say that it'll be the most technologically advanced motorcycle in production next year. Oh, and it'll be much, much lighter and much, much more powerful than anything else in the adventure bike world. Forget everything you know about Multistradas, this bike is going to be an absolute animal.

Imagine what your employees could do with an extra hour per day to spend on their top priority activities. More time for selling. More money as a result. Better planning. Improved customer service. Increased profits.
To make these improvements, you first need to underhand the current state. You need to measure productivity. Understanding how time is allocated by employees can provide powerful insights and can lead to massive improvements in employee performance. Just getting rid of all the non-value-added work can make a huge difference. But traditional methods of gathering data on how time is spent are awkward, expensive and inaccurate.
Our specialty is conducting time and motion study projects using our, simple, accurate, employee-friendly TimeCorder methodology.
This is an innovative approach to conducing time and motion studies among knowledge workers. It makes it easy for employees to track their own time. The results are anonymous and the device is easy to use, so we are able to achieve a remarkable participation rate of 94%.
To begin a time study, we create a list of activities in conjunction with our clients. The activities are programmed into the TimeCorder devices and shipped to employees. Then after a brief orientation session, they begin tracking their time, usually for two weeks. Every time they switch from one activity to another, they simply press a single button on the TimeCorder. It works like a series of stopwatches, similar to a chess clock, but in reverse. And it's just a little less complicated to use than the average doorbell!
Our time studies create a win-win situation for both employees and employers. The employees gain insights into their own productivity with a process that is simple and engaging. The employer gains profound knowledge of how time is spent and what key actions are needed to improve productivity.
Not only is it simple and accurate, the TimeCorder is superior to smart phone applications. This is because its batteries last 200 hours without need for charging. It always displays results without going into sleep mode. And its operations don't interfere with other smart phone applications.
After completing a time study, we make recommendations that are actionable, immediate, and focused on improving results. They include:
- Improving processes
- Benchmarking best practices
- Eliminating redundancies
- Boosting sales results
- Determining staff models
- Setting standards for top performance
- We have conducted time study projects in 39 countries since 1990.
- Our research data has been presented at numerous international conferences.
- The TimeCorder is cited in three textbooks.
- We always produce positive results for our clients.
- Time saved equals money earned.
The study we did with you continues to make a positive impact right across our core business in the United Kingdom and other markets. Our trading teams are now keen to replicate the study as they also believe there is opportunity to be more effective. – Soft drink bottler
I feel our company really got bang for buck with our first foray into time and motion studies. – Book Retailer
We are currently deploying the transformation initiatives for the supervisors. The data has been extremely helpful in creating a new role of the Work Coordinator that will relieve the Supervisor of the paperwork that keeps them in the office. – Utility Company
Retail banking results show a strong upward trend in selling hours…Among the sales staff selling hours are now 16.4 hours per week versus just 12.6 hours two years ago. Meanwhile the average administration time has gone done down by over 5 hours per week."

i think i remember they clearly stated that they will not support those atoms on linux.
Intel Atom N2600 / N2800 CPUs are still categorically considered Intel CPUs even if the on-die GPU is not designed in-house (Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX).
So can somebody tell me why in the following cases-in-point, it seems that support for these specific Atom CPUs are (intentionally left?) missing from source code?Code:$ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 54 model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N2800 @ 1.86GHz stepping : 1 microcode : 0x10c cpu MHz : 1862.000 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fdiv_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 xtpr pdcm movbe lahf_lm arat dtherm bogomips : 3723.94 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 32 bits virtual power management:
CASE 1: Missing C-states
The generic ACPI processor driver (acpi_cpuidle) from Linux-3.9.8 does not expose C-states for this CPU to the OS, nor does intel_idle v0.4:
Powertop-2.1 shows empty idle states.Code:$ dmesg | grep idle intel_idle: does not run on family 6 model 54 cpuidle: using governor ladder cpuidle: using governor menu
Here's an excerpt from drivers/idle/intel_idle.c where it shows the CPUs it runs on:
I have a family 6 model 28 (0x1c from the code above) Intel Atom N280 CPU and its C-states are exposed by intel_idle. So why is a family 6 model 54 (0x36) Intel Atom N2800 missing support from intel_idle? Intel Atom Processor D2000 and N2000 series datasheet [1] shows that this processor supports C-states:Code:static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_idle_ids[] = { ICPU(0x1a, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x1e, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x1f, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x25, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x2c, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x2e, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x1c, idle_cpu_atom), ICPU(0x26, idle_cpu_lincroft), ICPU(0x2f, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x2a, idle_cpu_snb), ICPU(0x2d, idle_cpu_snb), ICPU(0x3a, idle_cpu_ivb), ICPU(0x3e, idle_cpu_ivb), ICPU(0x3c, idle_cpu_hsw), ICPU(0x3f, idle_cpu_hsw), ICPU(0x45, idle_cpu_hsw), ICPU(0x46, idle_cpu_hsw), {} };

Down Technology (code named C6)(for N2000 series)
Patching intel_idle.c like so:
then recompiling the kernel, intel_idle now reports:Code:--- linux-3.9/drivers/idle/intel_idle.c.orig 2013-06-28 09:52:26.270075222 +0800 +++ linux-3.9/drivers/idle/intel_idle.c 2013-06-28 09:52:09.478076218 +0800 @@ -456,6 +456,7 @@ ICPU(0x2c, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x2e, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x1c, idle_cpu_atom), + ICPU(0x36, idle_cpu_atom), ICPU(0x26, idle_cpu_lincroft), ICPU(0x2f, idle_cpu_nehalem), ICPU(0x2a, idle_cpu_snb),
And Powertop-2.1 now reports idle states (POLL, C1E-ATM, C2-ATM, C4-ATM, C6-ATM).Code:$ dmesg | grep idle intel_idle: MWAIT substates: 0x3020220 intel_idle: v0.4 model 0x36 intel_idle: lapic_timer_reliable_states 0xffffffff cpuidle: using governor ladder cpuidle: using governor menu
CASE 2: Intel PowerClamp does not support this CPU
And I found out whyCode:# modprobe intel_powerclamp FATAL: Error inserting intel_powerclamp (lib/modules/3.9.8/kernel/drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.ko): No such device
From the module's aliases above we can see that it supports my family 6 model 28 (001C) Intel Atom N280 CPU, but is missing support for my family 6 model 54 (0036) Intel Atom N2800.Code:# modinfo intel_powerclamp filename: /lib/modules/3.9.8/kernel/drivers/thermal/intel_powerclamp.ko description: Package Level C-state Idle Injection for Intel CPUs author: Jacob Pan <email@example.com> author: Arjan van de Ven <firstname.lastname@example.com> license: GPL srcversion: 4FEB61B99F664447271957F alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:003A:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:002F:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:002E:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:002D:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:002C:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:002A:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:0026:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:0025:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:001F:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:001E:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:001C:feature:* alias: x86cpu:vendor:0000:family:0006:model:001A:feature:* depends: intree: Y vermagic: 3.9.8 SMP preempt mod_unload modversions ATOM parm: duration:forced idle time for each attempt in msec. parm: window_size:sliding window in number of clamping cycles powerclamp controls idle ratio within this window. larger window size results in slower response time but more smooth clamping results. default to 2.
Considering the above presentations I have made, I am under the impression that these particular Atom CPUs, being unfortunately the odd-man out among Intel's great FOSS-supported CPU line-up, are being singled-out from support by Intel OTC.
It's already a rough road getting decent graphics performance from these Atoms, but seeing some CPU-specific, not to mention the important C-state, support missing for these models I am more inclined to think that support is cursed for this product, at least from a GNU/Linux point-of-view. Intel really dropped the ball on this one.
Can somebody from Intel start adding CPU support where it's missing for these particular Atom CPUs, please?
i think i remember they clearly stated that they will not support those atoms on linux.
Would you happen to have a link on that? I'd be very much interested in reading about it.
I would understand if Intel OTC will not support the GPU side of this particular Atom, because it is a licensed IP from Imagination Technologies (PowerVR SGX).
But if what you're saying is that this CPU as well will receive no support from Intel OTC, then that would be unfortunate to hear about.
there you go
in any case i think that the discriminator here is the powerVR gpu...
Ah yes I read that here in Phoronix as well but it says there Intel will not support Atoms code-named Clover Trail.
Intel Atom D2000 and N2000 (N2600 / N2800) series are code-named Cedar Trail.
Like I said, these particular Atom CPUs are still categorically considered as Intel CPUs, despite being PowerVR SGX GPU the discriminator in these. Intel slapped their trademark in these CPUs, even in the GPU that wasn't theirs (calling it Intel GMA instead of Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX).
Wasn't it Intel that started the trend of "ingredient branding" in the hardware business in the 1990s that established their name as it is known now? Sure, you could fault somebody for not researching enough on Linux support before buying certain hardware, and instead blindly relying on brand name.
But Intel, who popularized "ingredient branding" in the hardware business that was new at that time, should have instead called their GPU for these Atoms PowerVR, instead of associating their brand name with it, even going as far as calling it as one of their own, and then showing support, both on Windows and Linux, that is something not to be expected from a company so well established in the industry.
This thread is really interesting to me. Does the missing support means no real power saving features? I'm currently considering Intel N2800 for my small server and the lack of power saving features would be a no-go for me... Or is somebody working on it?
Well, don't buy these CPUs if you plan to run Linux.
Support for the graphics portion could have been added to the kernel i915 driver, because the modesetting part is quite similar to other Intel graphics. But Intel decided against it for presumably non-technical reasons. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/22/269 for discussion. Instead, one Intel employee had to develop a separate driver on his own initiative with significant amount of code duplication.
It appears that the Intel open source folks do not want to touch anything related to the PowerVR Atoms, be it the graphics or not.
Intel has pretty much written off the hardware as you can see from the lack of updates for continued support on any platform from a long way back and it's not in their interest to devote any resources to supporting it further with their newer hardware requiring their attention. You'll just have to dump it and move on to something newer. End of Line.

CONCORD, N.H. — U.S. senators from New Hampshire and Texas are asking the State Department to step up efforts to find two freelance journalists missing in Syria.
Thirty-nine-year-old James Foley, who is from Rochester, N.H., was last seen in November in northwest Syria. Austin Tice, a 31-year-old former Marine from Texas, disappeared in August.
In a letter Thursday, Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas urged the State Department to use every means available to find the men. They also urged Secretary of State John Kerry to continue raising the issue of U.S. citizens being held in Syria with Russian officials and to make the issue a priority at the proposed peace talks in Geneva.
As the months continue with no further information regarding Mr. Tices or Mr. Foleys whereabouts or welfare, we ask for your continued personal attention to these cases, they wrote.
Foley disappeared in Syria on Nov. 22 while he was in Idlib Province. He was working as a contributor to GlobalPost, which reported it found strong evidence Mr. Foley is being held by the Syrian government, the letter said.
Tice has been missing since Aug. 13. We understand that his whereabouts remain unknown at this time, although your department has indicated that they continue to believe Mr. Tice is being held in Syrian government custody, the senators wrote to Kerry.

Kenya: Runoff seems likely after ballot decision
Tuesday - 3/5/2013, 8:40pm EST
Associated Press
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- A slow ballot count in Kenya's presidential vote raised questions Tuesday about the election process, but it was a decision involving hundreds of thousands of rejected ballots that made it appear likely the election will be decided in a runoff.
Nearly 330,000 ballots -- the number keeps rising -- have been rejected for not following election rules, raising criticism of voter education efforts.
The election commission chairman announced late Tuesday that those spoiled ballots, as they are called here, will count in the overall vote total. That makes it very difficult, given the tight race, for either top candidate to reach the 50 percent mark needed to win outright. A runoff election between the top two candidates is expected.
Kenya's 2010 constitution -- passed after 2007-08 election violence killed more than 1,000 people -- says a candidate wins the presidency if he or she has "more than half of all votes cast in the election." That clause made the decision on the definition of "cast" key.
Partial returns Tuesday showed an early lead for Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding president and who faces charges at the International Criminal Court. That prompted the camp of candidate Prime Minster Raila Odinga to hold a news conference to tell supporters that more of their strongholds have yet to be counted from Monday's largely peaceful vote.
Returns for most of the day showed Kenyatta with 53 percent and Odinga with 42 percent. But Kenyatta's percentage would drop to just over 50 percent when rejected votes are counted in the total. The commission said percentages would be officially updated Wednesday.
More than half of the votes cast have yet to be counted, and observers said Odinga was likely to make gains.
"If Odinga's performance improves, as seems likely, and with this decision on the rejected votes, then it's inevitable there will be a runoff," said Nic Cheeseman, a lecturer in African politics at Oxford University who is an official observer of the election.
William Ruto, Kenyatta's running mate, blamed "foreign missions" for swaying the electoral commission on its ballot decision. The decision "is meant to deny us a first-round win," Ruto was quoted as saying by The Standard newspaper.
Kenya is the lynchpin of East Africa's economy and plays a vital security role in the fight against Somali militants. The U.S. Embassy in Kenya is the largest in Africa, indicating this country's importance to U.S. foreign policy.
The chairman of the election commission, Isaak Hassan, met with political parties Tuesday to talk about the rejected ballot issue, said Tabitha Mutemi, a spokeswoman for the commission.
Hassan acknowledged what he called "growing concern" over the slow pace of election results. He said the delays are due to high voter turnout, a large number of contested seats and long travel times for polling officers.
Candidates' percentages, he said, will be calculated "based on total votes cast." Of the rejected ballots, he said: "Of course they will have an impact in the overall result."
Hassan noted the law gives his commission seven days to perform its work, and he asked for patience "from the public, the political parties as well as the candidates."
Kenya's Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, who is also Odinga's running mate, held an afternoon news conference -- the first by any of the major candidates -- to calm Odinga supporters who were forced to look at TV news reports of Kenyatta's lead all day.
"We wish to appeal for calm and call on our supporters to relax, because we are confident that when all votes are in (we) will carry the day," Musyoka said.
Musyoka said more Kenyatta strongholds were counted Tuesday, meaning Odinga's vote total would rise.
A European election observer gave credence to that claim, saying an electoral analysis done by the U.S. Embassy showed Odinga was likely to gain ground. The observer said he was not allowed to be identified by name.
A U.S. Embassy spokesman said the embassy did not have any comment.
Long lines of voters formed around the country Monday. Election officials estimate that turnout was about 70 percent of 14 million registered voters. Attacks by separatists on the coast killed 19 people, and other attacks were seen near the border with Somalia, but the vast majority of the country voted in peace.
In the coastal city of Mombasa on Tuesday, three suspected members of the secessionist group Mombasa Republican Council were charged in court for the murder of four police officers during elections.

Better Broadband for Nottinghamshire is a multi-million pound partnership between the County Council and a range of funding partners including BT, Central Government and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), which is set to transform broadband speeds across Nottinghamshire.
As a result of the programme, 95% of Nottinghamshire's premises are expected to be able to access a fibre network, capable of delivering superfast broadband, by March 2016. It is also intended that all Nottinghamshire premises will be able to access a minimum broadband speed of at least 2Mbps by the end of 2016.
This large-scale civil engineering programme builds on the commercial rollout of fibre-based broadband within Nottinghamshire (delivered by BT and other telecommunications providers), which will extend access to 86% of premises within the County by the end of 2014.
The Better Broadband for Nottinghamshire contract was awarded to BT in August 2013 and the rollout of the infrastructure will happen in phases which will overlap each other. As soon as information is available on the areas included I the next phase of works, we will publish it on this website.
The pace of life in the picturesque village of Orston is about to get a whole lot faster.
Hundreds of homes in a Nottinghamshire village, named just eight months ago as having one of the slowest broadband speeds in the UK, now have access to fast fibre broadband.
More than 10,000 homes and businesses across Nottinghamshire now have access to faster broadband speeds as part of the Better Broadband for Nottinghamshire (BBfN) partnership.
Local firm Gusto Construction has found that slow broadband speeds are a thing of the past after becoming Better Broadband for Nottinghamshire's first superfast broadband customer.
More than 1,850 Nottinghamshire homes and businesses can now get faster fibre broadband - just two months into a programme which will see the county become one of the best digitally-connected areas in the country in two years' time. This announcement comes as the Government announced on 8 August that more than 1 million UK homes and businesses now have access to superfast broadband as a result of the UK wide rollout.
The first phase of work for the Better Broadband for Nottinghamshire programme is now underway. On 12 June, representatives of the organisations funding and developing the programme officially launched the first upgraded fibre broadband cabinet in Collingham near Newark.
