Would have been nice to seen Windows thrown in the mix too...
Phoronix: Intel Linux OpenGL Driver Leading Over Apple OS X
In revisiting the OpenGL graphics and gaming performance for an older Intel Core i5 "Sandy Bridge" Apple system, the Ubuntu 13.04 performance with Intel's open-source graphics driver is now easily surpassing Apple's OpenGL driver found in OS X 10.8.3.
Would have been nice to seen Windows thrown in the mix too...
Would be nice to test some titles people actually play, I mean, with Steam being pretty popular these days.
intel graphics on osx, are slow, but stable...., would be nice a review , nvidia on osx vs nvidia linux
so, ok, maybe it's not the driver, but some other intrinsic difference between OSX and Linux? Are the accompanying cpu stats somewhere?
I think the problem here is that many of us disagree with his reasonings. It really doesnt matter how many times or in how many different ways he tries to justify it, he still isnt running any meaningful game benches. Exactly what is the point in releasing all of this worthless data? It has no value. Repeatability by itself doesnt mean shit if the repeatable data doesnt mean anything.
People actually play Warsow, Xonotic and such, how about looking at their server and player lists?
Tip: http://stats.xonotic.org
To anyone wanting Steam benches: this is Sandy for god's sake. Comparing 2fps to 2.1fps.

I do have to say that I enjoy the browning that my convection cycle brings. As for the heat...I'm unfortunately maxed out at 500. I wish I knew a way to rig the control to allow for some more heat!

From left, Tré Cool, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt of Green Day. / None available
Green Day, derailed by front man Billie Joe Armstrong's rehab stint in the midst of a three-album rollout in the fall, will make a live return with a tour starting March 28 in Chicago.
Armstrong's meltdown at last September's iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas sent him seeking treatment for substance abuse, interrupting an elaborate promotional campaign for the trilogy and forcing concert cancelations. The pop-punk trio of Armstrong, Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt released albums Uno!, Dos! and Tré but scrapped all shows through 2012, including a headlining slot at the Voodoo Festival. Shows scheduled for January and February, which had been postponed, have now been canceled in the tour's new routing.
In a statement, the group said, "We want to thank everyone for hanging in with us for the last few months. We are very excited to hit the road and see all of you again, though we regret having to cancel more shows."
Armstrong said, "I just want to thank you all for the love and support you've shown for the past few months. Believe me, it hasn't gone unnoticed and I'm eternally grateful to have such an amazing set of friends and family. I'm getting better everyday. So now, without further ado, the show must go on. We can't wait to get on the road â?¦ Our passion has only grown stronger."
Refunds for canceled shows will be given at original points of purchase. More dates will be announced soon.

Schwinn Tailwind electric bicycle boasts world's fastest charging time
Article Summary
Bicycles are a fun, environmentally friendly way to get from A to B under your own steam, but we're not all Tour de France cyclists, so the addition of electric assist systems helps to increase our range and leave the car in the garage more often. The latest offering from Schwinn - the Tailwind - will hit US dealers at the end of this month and arrive in Europe in Spring equipped with a battery that not only charges in a world beating 30 minutes via a standard outlet (or a lightning 7 minutes via a 40 amp commercial charger), but also guarantees 2000 cycles before it's full capacity begins to diminish. We took a closer look at the Schwinn at the 2009 CES.

The Dan Beard Council Program and Activities Committees are thrilled to announce some new opportunities and enhancements around the distinguished Silver Beaver Award (Click here to view the new class now). We recognize the significance of this notable award. With the feedback and help of several Silver Beavers, we have developed an exciting new process to recognize deserving volunteers and expand the influence and impact of these distinguished individuals by uniting them together.
In 2014, we will begin celebrating our Silver Beaver recipients much like we currently recognize our new Eagle Scouts. This will be accomplished in a two-step process:
This is a process that has worked well and there is a level of symbolism and significance in emulating this ceremony. We strongly believe that this new process will:

Sorry Quotes
A simple apology could fix a friendship that shouldn't have ended in the first place. Don't let your ego stop you from doing what's right.
The word !! Sorry !! Make no sense without honest feelings within.
"Sorry" we all say "Sorry" for the wrong things we say and do. But do we always think about the people we love dearly who we say hurtful things to? I don't think so because if we had think about it sorry wouldn't have become such a popular word today. Sometimes we say so much and act immature as adult. We didn't take the time to realize how much hurt and pain we put that individual in we never took the time to think of the reaction, the feelings and the consequence that we might have to face if what we do turns out to be a matter of life and death.
You should never ruin an apology with an excuse.
Apologizing does not always mean that you're wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.
Never try to dominate the one who says sorry to you for their mistake because, they understand, you are more important than their ego.
I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, I hurt people. But when I say sorry, I mean it.
Now it's just too late and we can't go back. I'm sorry, I can't be perfect.
I'm sorry. I constantly want to talk to you. I'm sorry when you take long to reply, I get sad. I'm sorry if I say things that might piss you off. I'm sorry if I come off as annoying. I'm sorry if you don't wanna talk to me as much as I wanna talk to you. I'm sorry if I tell you about my pointless drama when you don't really care. I'm sorry if I come off as being clingy, but it's just me missing you.
I have learned that sometimes SORRY is not enough. You actually have to change yourself.
I said "I love you" and I meant it. But I hurt you, now "I'm sorry" and I mean it.
Saying sorry doesn't mean you have to do the same wrong thing again!
Saying "I am sorry" costs nothing when you are on the wrong, please admit and see love grow.
Sorry I couldn't be your first choice but you were mine. Even though the girl you like, likes you and someone else, I only have feelings for you. Sorry that I care so much!!
Saying I am sorry costs nothing!
I'm sorry I trip a lot
I'm sorry I'm the jealous type
I'm just scared someone better is gonna take my place.
Sorry is a nice word to hear when you hurt someone. If you say this it proves that you're brave about what they would say.
Sometimes saying 'i'm sorry' doesn't mean you were wrong it's just simply showing respect to the one you love, because you understand hurt inside n you want to get rid of it before it affects you both.
It's hurting me every second realizing I hurt you. I'm sorry, please feel it.
Get angry and me scold me but talk to me just and text I'll makeup rest
Don't just ignore me.
I'm really sorry.
It is easy to say sorry for the things we've done, it is also easy to forgive and forget, but one thing that will never be easy is to trust again after disappointment.
There's no use of just saying sorry. One should feel it.
And there are times when you seek for others' forgiveness but you yourself know that you ain't worthy of it.
Saying sorry doesn't mean it was you who did wrong and what they did was right. It is a word expressing what you feel when you hurt somebody.
For a man apologizing is one of the hardest things to do because our ego is big and we have too much pride. But I'm going to drop my ego and swallow my pride and say I'm sorry to the one I love the most for the pain I cause and the mistakes I made. I'm only a man we tend to make mistakes but the difference between them and me is that I mean it and I'm not afraid to show the world I'm in love. Without you, life means nothing because you're my purpose of living. Your love is my drug because you take me so high and now that you're gone I'm low and I'm craving for your love. I love you and miss you will always have a spot in my heart.
Love isn't just a word it's a meaning, saying sorry won't make things better but it will show you love them.

I love the way Xia Xiang smells! It was my mom's signature fragrance & once I tried it I was hooked :) very unique & hard to find...was happy to find it online, but it has been out of stock. Hopefully you will get more in soon so I can stock up.

Read Review details ►This product is not the same as the Revlon product for the early 90's. The original Xia Xiang was light pink in color and the bottle was different. So don't order this product thinking that it is the same as the original. I was disappointed.
Written by Kim on October 26, 2011
Read Review details ►I have been looking a long time for this! I wore it when I met my husband in the service and he was upset when I couldn't get it anymore. It was the only one he liked and it didn't make him sneeze! I am so happy that I can get it again...we've been together for 22 yrs and I would love to surprise him and see if it smells the same on me now. I haven't found anything that I liked, this makes me happy. Thank you!

Read Review details ►I accidently found this wounderful fragrance in the 1990's. It is a sexy,mysterious,exotic fragrance. I always received comments on how wonderful it smelled on me. I was very dissappointed when I could not find this scent in stores any longer. I searched for other scents which might possibly compare, to no avail. Xia Xiang is one of the sexual scents and I'm so grateful to find the fragrance is still available on the internet. I will buy no other. Now that I have found my most precious scent again.

Hola, como estan todos? Es un placer de estar aqui. Estan todos disfrutando la conferencia?
This is similiar to how David Henry, founder and president of Telenoticias and co-author of Hispanic Marketing and Public Relations: Understanding and Targeting America's Largest Minority, started the session "A Sleeping Giant" at the PRSA Counselors Academy Conference, which BurrellesLuce sponsored, this past weekend. Henry switched back to communicating in English and asked if we understood what he had just said. Only one or two hands went up in the group. He then related this to what Hispanics understand when they are marketed to in English.
The current marketplace in the U.S. is comprised of a diverse group. There has been boom over the past few years and by 2050, it is estimated that 30 percent of the population will be Hispanic. This is a population with a purchasing power that is progressing 50 percent faster than non-Hispanic groups. (In fact, BurrellesLuce first began writing about these trends in a 2007 newsletter entitled, "Top Five Tips for Reaching the Growing Hispanic Market.")

Thanks Russell |

Unregistered | It's good SB is still working on hybrids. Clearly it's not an easy compromise to design, witness the number of SB models, nor cureently the biggest market sector. Nevertheless having a board covering 7/8 knots to 20+ knots and coping with inland conditions is a great goal for the sport. Will be interested to see how it sails compared to my Pacer. | |
9th August 2013 06:20 PM | ||
rww | Thanks... That's what I've been thinking. My biggest sail at the moment is a 7.8 that I use with my iS 107 in light to medium winds. | |
9th August 2013 06:04 PM | ||
ZedZdeD |
hi, the main advantage of the 320 was the possibility to use a 9.5 sail (you may see my videos on youtube by searching "f388949") but such large sails are for me a little bit too large, they are manageable but I prefer the lighter feeling and manoeuvrability of a 7.8, therefore with my 73 kilos, the 295 is just fine, really pleasant, I think the 295 L will be even better though by light and medium wind all the best |
3rd August 2013 11:06 PM | ||
rww |
Thanks ZedZdeb That's exactly my aim. A couple of questions if you don't mind. What do you weigh? Are you switching to the 295L because of the increased volume? |
3rd August 2013 06:04 PM | ||
ZedZdeD |
I had a 320 and now have a 295, and I am currently purchasing the new 295 L these boards are the best windsurfing purchases I ever made, though I have everything, iSonic, Futura, Kode etc, it's just that I sail 10x more often, always with pleasure, and can now enjoy light and medium winds you won't be disappointed |
2nd August 2013 05:34 AM | ||
rww |
Hi Ulf That's great. I too am looking more for fun in lighter winds than going racing. Haven't settled on a 295 yet. 320 is on the list as well. Russell |
2nd August 2013 04:40 AM | ||
Ulf |
Hi RWW, You wont be alone, I'll be sailing a Phantom 295L on the lake this year with 8.5 Phantom rig as well. Just fun not racing. |

Kyle Meier is 5 1/2 years old. He's been through more than 12 surgeries in his short life, more surgeries than the majority of us will have in a lifetime. Two lifetimes. Kyle was born with multiple birth defects including proximal femoral focal deficiency: He has no thigh bones or hip joints, resulting in severely short stature. He was also born with Pierre Robin Syndrome (PRS), a rare condition characterized by a small lower jaw, cleft palate and a tendency for the tongue to "ball up" in the back of the mouth. He also has a tracheotomy. By definition, Kyle is severely disabled, but he is also like millions of other kids.

Talk about multi-tasking. Police in China recently pulled over a young mother for breastfeeding while driving a moped.
The woman was weaving in and out of traffic in Yuzhou when her 18-month-old son started crying, according to the Huffington Post.
Witnesses told police the mom started breastfeeding the child, keeping one hand on the handlebars.
Officers told Orange News they pulled her over so she wouldn't cause an accident.
"She was risking her life, her son's life and the lives of all the other road users," a police spokesman told Orange News.
Police threatened to confiscate the woman's moped if she continued to breastfeed while driving.

What Happened To The Greats Of Horror?
Remember John Carpenter? How bout Wes Craven or George Romero? Whatever happened to those guys? ; the guys who made the horror genre what it is today. Why have they suddenly started making terrible movies and when exactly did they lose their talent?
It's a funny thing. It's like these dudes set the bar for horror then new filmmakers came along in their wake and raised that bar and now, those legendary filmmakers cannot raise the bar even further or even regain their foothold. What's going on here?! Is it that their films were only really good for the time they were made in? Or maybe the bar has been raised so high that those older directors no longer seem good? But either of these can't be the case. Movies like Dawn of the Dead, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elm Street still hold up to this day and are in fact better then most of the stuff we've seen since. Movies such as Red Eye or Diary of the Dead would not have been any good back in the old days either so it's not like these guys styles have just become old hat and boring. Somewhere along the lines, they changed. Guys who once made kickass genre classics have started making crap that even their copycat directors can easily trump. Maybe its the bigger budgets and inflated egos that come with success and no longer having to prove yourself. Who knows. Again I ask, what the fuck is going on here!?
Note : Ghosts of Mars and Cursed may be in your top 10 favorite films of all time and you may think these guys careers are still alive and well and you may also think i'm a jerkoff for suggesting they're not but for one, they're not, for two, yes I am a jerkoff, and for three these are merely my own personal opinions. Although i'm sure most will agree with me on all these points.
John Carpenter 1976-1996
Carpenter burst onto the scene in the late 70's with classics like Assault on Precinct 13 and Halloween. He then went on over the next several years to churn out The Fog, Escape From New York, The Thing, Chrstine, Prince of Darkness, and They Live, among others. Most genre fans would agree that these films are some of the best of the best in the horror genre. But after 1996's Escape From L.A, Carpenter made the duds Vampires and Ghosts of Mars, the latter starring Ice Cube. What the fuck happened! Carpenter managed to pull out a pretty decent season 1 Masters of Horror episode titled Cigarette Burns in 2005 but his second effort, Pro-Life in 2006, was absolute garbage. From Halloween to Ghosts of Mars, John? Really? He's currently working on the films Scared Straight (starring Nic Cage), The Prince, and L.A Gothic. Please, Mr. Carpenter, give us something good again. We know it's in you.
Wes Craven 1972-1996
I'm being generous on this one. Several years and several bad films (New Nightmare, Vampire in Brooklyn) passed between People Under The Stairs and Scream, but Scream was pretty good and pretty much re-invented the horror genre, so we'll say Craven still had something going for him up to 96. Remember when this dude was the undisputed king of horror! He gave us Freddy Krueger! He gave us Last House on the Left and The Hills Have Eyes! He gave us...Cursed!? What?! What happened here, Wes? In 2005, he released both Cursed and Red Eye, two of the worst horror movies of that year. I just can't understand how a guy so innovative in the genre resorted to making this stuff. Was it merely for a new wing on his house? Or has he truly lost all the talent he had in his early years? I think the problem with his career path is pretty simple. In his early efforts, Craven wrote the films. In his later efforts, Craven has had others write them for him. Could this be the problem? I think so. Thankfully, he returns next year with 25/8, a film which he himself has written. Will this be the grand return of Wes Craven to good horror we've all been waiting for? I sure hope so. We're all rootin for ya.
George A. Romero 1968-2005
Unlike the above two, Romero lost his edge only recently. And it was Diary of the Dead that was film he jumped the shark on. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, The Crazies, Creepshow, Monkey Shines. Romero's list of good movies goes on and on. Even Land of the Dead was pretty good. But what the fuck was Diary!? That movie is pure and utter crap and is almost as bad as the recent remake of his film Day of the Dead. The guy who wrote the book on how to make a zombie movie looks like he's now trying to write the book on how to not make a zombie movie. Out of all the great movies he's made to sequalize, he's currently working on Diary 2! I love you George but what the fuck are you doing! Show us what you're made of! Show us you're not too old to entertain us! Or maybe you just plain are too old to entertain us. Will Land of the Dead forever remain the last good film in Romero's resume? Only time will tell. But all due respect George, time may be runnin out, so give us one last masterpiece, will ya?
A common link i've found between all three of these guys latest films is the use of CGI. Carpenter used it in Pro-Life, Craven used in Cursed, Romero used it in Land of the Dead. These guys used to be all about awesome practical effects and it's sad to see them take the CG route. While not the direct cause of their films sucking lately, it certaintly hasn't helped.
I'm not trying to bash here. I love these guys and I truly hope they can start making good movies again. Then again, maybe it's kind of appropriate for their careers to die right in front of our very eyes. A fitting way to go out for a horror director, perhaps.

Carpenter's episode in Masters of Horror sucked. Don Cocscerelli's was the best in season 1. Land of the Dead was good??? Come on, it was awful... Red Eye brought a new age touch to stalker based stories in horror... I agree about Vampires, Ghosts of Mars etc.
But for the most part, you've gotta get your shit together. - November 17, 2008 at 2:41 PM

I agree with you that they have lost their edge. I really hope that maybe Wes Cravens new movie will return him to his horror master title. As for John Carpenter, I don't know what went wrong there. I guess when they get older, they lose their taste for blood and gore. Maybe they will redeem themselves in the future. I, for one, would be happy to see some good old-fashioned horror from them...
- December 19, 2008 at 1:43 PM
Scream re-invented the horror genre? LOL, it was the year after "From, Dusk Till Dawn" which was 100 times better. Even "The Craft" was better.
- March 31, 2009 at 6:05 PM
- Johnny said...
It's not a personal opinion, it's a fact. That being said, Scream does kick ass.
- March 31, 2009 at 6:14 PM
I agree with the first comment. Land of the Dead was just horrid. Diary was about ten times better than that piece of trash.
- May 10, 2009 at 5:03 PM
I can't believe you just dissed New Nightmare.
It wasn't perfect, most of my complaints would be leveled towards the ending, but ol' Wes managed to do the IMPOSSIBLE.
He took his once frightening creation of Freddy, who had been pissed on and trampled on and turned into a freakin' corporate whore for selling t-shirts, and made him into a frightening monster again. Yeah, he made the one-liner spewing shitfest of a joke character from Freddy's Dead scary again.
That deserves credit. - September 10, 2009 at 6:02 PM
Oh, I didn't mean to sound like a dick there.
I got a little worked up, but I love your blog, honestly. - September 10, 2009 at 6:04 PM
- Johnny said...
Didn't come off as a dick at all. I fully encourage everyone to voice their opinions on here, whether those opinions agree with my opinions or not. I love a good debate!
I will admit that I haven't seen New Nightmare in several years, but I never liked it growing up. Maybe it's got something to do with the fact that I actually have always preferred the one liner spouting jokester Freddy. Plus I didn't like the look of Freddy in it. That being said, I have been meaning to re-watch it for quite some time and when I get around to it, i'll let ya know what I think upon re-viewing it. I'm always up for giving movies second, third, and even fourth chances! - September 10, 2009 at 6:50 PM
I think Romero's problem is that at one time he was the anti-establishment guy using his genius to create movies that highlighted the various social ills plaguing our western society at the time of each film's release. Whether it was rampant consumerism or American culture overwhelming other societies. But George is a millionaire now. He lives in the lap of luxury. For all his fond memories of being the anti-establishment drum major, he is the establishment now.
- September 18, 2009 at 2:06 PM
I wouldn't know what to say. My favourite of all three is Carpenter. For some strange reason, I enjoy all his movies immensely. But... I don't know, there's something that always bugged me about his films, like "he could have done more with that". I had this feeling after I had seen They Live, Prince Of Darkness, Vampires, Ghosts Of Mars. His touch was there, but there was something missing...
This being said, I still consider The Thing as one of the few perfect films there are today, and for that, I am simply grateful to him, as a filmmaker (and to you for bringing this into discussion).
P.S. Scream does kick ass ! ;) - November 1, 2009 at 9:42 AM
P.S. 2 I find In The Mouth Of Madness one of the most challenging and thought-provoking lovecraftian tales you can find. The same postmodernistic touch Craven has in The New Nightmare.
- November 1, 2009 at 10:47 AM
'New Nightmare' isn't very good, but it's interesting to see the things Craven was trying to do in the '90's before hitting on 'Scream'.
You've got 'Vampire in Brooklyn', which stemmed from his desire to make a comedy and Murphy's desire to make a horror movie (ultimately, the two attitudes didn't mesh).
Then you've got 'New Nightmare', which quite self-consciously discussed the films, and even touches on the idea of films influencing people's consciousness in a negative way.
You could also throw in 'Shocker', I think, though I don't remember it well enough to be sure.
The problem is, 'New Nightmare' is rarely even interesting. It has some good bits, though. - April 17, 2010 at 2:02 AM

"New Nightmare" is my second favorite in the Nightmare series behind the original. I think it's mistake is that it was aiming at a more mature audience, and not having Freddy in much of the movie and not having him be the jokester people were used to did a lot of damage. But as a standalone movie, I absolutely loved it, even if the ending was a little weak.
Have you seen John Carpenter's THE WARD? I thought it was pretty decent - definitely a step up from GHOSTS OF MARS. - December 8, 2012 at 9:54 AM

Beyond gaming? Maybe this could be useful for people who always complain about not having enough professional apps on Linux.
Either way, does anyone know if Valve is offering their games in naitive 64-bit? Also, does anyone know if it will be compatible with Wayland without X (assuming you're using an open driver, of course)?

Comments On Nov 18, 2014:Skid plates are rock solid, I do a lot of trail riding and they are indestructible. the only issue I have is each winter I remove the mid section and front mid plate to mount my snow plow. the torx head bolts only last two years before the heads are stripped. I have to cut them off and replace, not a major issue but I want to try a different head type like a hex head bolt. is there any reason I couldn't do this? life would be much easier in the winter.

Comments On Jun 14, 2014:Nice skid plate. If you have a plow, be advised that minor modifications need to be made to the skid for the plow bracket U bolts to fit.

Comments On Jan 30, 2014:Fit was great, easy to install. Definitely feel confident the machine is better protected. Only knock is the hardware supplied isn't the greatest. I'm not a fan of torx bit bolts...I reused a lot of the original hardware to install it. I think the newer versions might come with better hardware.
Definitely recommend.

Comments On Oct 21, 2013:Installation was easy everything lined up properly. Just as a note for the front make sure to remove the black plastic cap on the frame. You can then clamp it on the inside where the screws are lined up. Skid plate itself is lightweight but tough.

Number of births by age and marital status of mother; and number of women of reproductive age by age and marital status. When fertility data is collected through population censuses and household surveys, both data on births and data on number of women by age are available from the same data collection instrument. However, when data on births are collected from civil registration system, additional data on population by sex, age and other characteristics required need to be estimated based on population censuses and household surveys.
Number of children ever born by age of mother.
Contraceptive use by sex, age and method of contraception In order to estimate the unmet need for family planning, information on several other characteristics is needed: marital status (as a proxy for being sexually active), pregnancy status, wantedness of current pregnancy, post-partum amenorrhea status, infecundity, and desires to delay or stop childbearing (see Bradley et al., 2012). Additional breakdowns commonly used for contraceptive use statistics are number of own children, educational attainment, urban/rural areas, geographic areas, and ethnicity.
Total fertility rate
Adolescent birth rate
Contraceptive use among women aged 15-49 who are married or in a union
Unmet need for family planning
Civil registration systems can provide data on live births by age and other characteristics of the mother.
Population registers can provide data on live births by age and other characteristics of the mother and data on female population disaggregated by age and other characteristics.
Population censuses collect data on children ever born along with various characteristics of the mother. Some censuses also collect data on recent births (in the past 12 months) and age of mother at birth of first child. Various characteristics of the mother as well as characteristics of the household are also collected.
Household surveys such as demographic and health surveys and fertility and family surveys collect data on recent births, in the last 12 or 24 months, or retrospective birth histories during a longer time period. They also collect data on contraceptive use and information on desired number and spacing of children. Various characteristics of the mother as well as characteristics of the household are also collected.
Number of births and number of children ever born may be underreported, due to premature death or omissions, especially in countries with less developed statistical systems. Data on births obtained from civil registration systems should be checked and adjusted for sex bias in reporting based on supplementary information on births from population census and household surveys. In population censuses and household surveys, underreporting of children born is often due to proxy response from male members of the household. Recall errors may be associated more often with older women than younger women. In general, a more complete and accurate reporting of children ever born is obtained when the information is collected separately for girls and boys.
Data on non-marital fertility may not be available or detailed enough to understand trends in non-marital fertility. Data are not available in countries relying solely on household surveys collecting data on fertility only for married women. In other countries where data on non-marital fertility are available, more detailed data on marital status of the mother is often needed to distinguish mothers living in various types of informal unions and mothers without a stable partner.
Use of contraceptive methods may be underreported, especially where traditional methods or contraceptive sterilization are common.
Unmet need for family planning has often not been calculated using a comparable methodology over time (Bradley et al, 2012).

why red? sideshore/choppy with nw 10-15?
why red? sideshore/choppy with nw 10-15?
i'm not sure what 2307, rodnc means?
I'm going to take a guess, and say your talking about the rodanthe, nc forecast location on saturday feb, 2, 2007.
I have actually been making these wind/condition predictions based on pea island, which curves a little further in, faces more North. I did this because I know a lot of people surf there. So for pea island, which faces more ENE, then NW winds add a sideshore texture - where straight offshore there is more WSW . Do you think it would be more appropriate to go for in town rodanthe, which does in fact straigten out to more east facing? Let me know your thoughts - thanks.
If your not talking about rodanthe, let me know what location you are referring to?
Last edited by Swellinfo; Jan 31, 2007 at 08:00 PM.
i agree and think forecast for rodanthe should be directly east facing.
So Be it. This change has been made.

Chatterbox Orchestra: From cacophony to harmony
It's not hard to understand how the Chatterbox Children's Orchestra got its name. Twenty minutes into a recent practice, although their mouths are moving, the young musicians have yet to play a note.
But when director Johnene "Johny" McDonald raises her baton and the first note finally sounds, the noise in the room resolves from cacophony to harmony. Without a doubt, these kids can play.
That was the consensus of judges at last week's High Sierra Music Festival in Susanville, where the Chatterboxes made their public debut. It marked just the third time the whole group had played together. The string section and the wind section practice separately and those rehearsals have been underway for a mere few months.
"You've practiced how much together?" one judge asked. "That's amazing."
He and his fellow judge were amazed enough to award the group a superior rating, the highest mark.
"Awesome!" said fifth-grade saxophonist Emily Walmer, exhibiting the exuberance the Chatterboxes are known for.
McDonald said she was proud and delighted with the orchestra's performance. She noted it was the only elementary group to play at the festival.
The Chatterboxes are 16 young people, ranging in age from 8 to 17, who play strings, woodwinds and brass. They take private music lessons from McDonald, but most also play in school bands. Although a few older students participate, the bulk of the musicians attend local elementary schools.
McDonald said when she helped school music teacher Tanner Johns with his beginning band last year she realized "so many of my private students were in the band, I saw an opportunity to bring them to a new level and to put the strings with the winds."
Although she has organized children's string ensembles in the past, including an honor ensemble with a youthful Johns on clarinet and a single flute, the Chatterbox experiment is her first full-fledged children's orchestra.
McDonald herself played in a children's orchestra from the time she was 10 years old and called the experience formative.
"It's fun," said violinist Krystina Oravetz, 11, of the Chatterbox orchestra. "And Johny's a really good teacher."
Walmer agreed, "It's a lot of fun. I like being with my friends and performing together in front of people."
The Chatterbox experience seems already to have brought its players to a new level. Their repertoire for the festival featured a folk medley of "Rose Red" and "Star of the County Down." The Chatterboxes both sang and played "In Dreams" from "Lord of the Rings." They closed their set with a rousing rendition of the Bulgarian folk tune "Elenke," repeated three times with a faster cadence each time.
"How much faster do you think you could play it?" asked one judge.
"My arm would fall off!" replied Whitney MacIntyre, 11, the group's sole trombonist.
The Chatterboxes display no such limitations on their verbal stamina. One parent who drove to the Susanville festival described his car as the "chattermobile." "It was like a rolling birthday party," he said of the decibel level.
All such tongue-in-cheek comments aside, parents of the budding musicians are unanimous in their praise of McDonald. "She's a treasure," said Aimee Heaney, whose son Benjamin, 11, plays clarinet. "I feel blessed and lucky to have someone in our community who can nurture our children musically. Ben has grown in confidence through his participation."
McDonald is just as quick to credit the parents' commitment — their willingness, for example, "to drive all the way to Susanville for a 10-minute performance."
It takes a village, it seems — and a sturdy set of earplugs — to raise a Chatterbox.
Luckily for all involved, the group's upcoming performances will be much closer to home. Folks can catch the Chatterboxes at McDonald's annual spring concert, set for Sunday, May 1, and at Concert on the Green at Quincy High School May 25. The latter is outdoors, weather permitting, which will give the young musicians an appropriate venue to do what they do second best — chatter.

48 JIMMIE JOHNSON, Chevrolet
Team: Hendrick Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: Jimmie Johnson remained in first place for the 18th straight week after Michigan. He leads second-ranked Clint Bowyer by 41 points and third-ranked Carl Edwards by 51 points.
BRISTOL RECORD: 23 career starts, 1 wins, 7 top-5s, 13 top-10s, 1 poles. Best career finish: First in spring 2010. Finished second in this race last year and was 22nd in this year's spring race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: With the exception of a 22nd-place finish in spring and a 35th-place finish in summer 2010, Johnson has been one of the most successful drivers at Bristol in the last 4 1/2 seasons. In the last nine races there, he has one win, a runner-up, two third-place finishes, a fourth, an eighth and ninth. Here's his thoughts on Saturday night's race: "Short tracks are fun. I'm looking forward it. The night race in Bristol is awesome. I tell many, many friends if they are going to pick one that is the one that they need to come see and be a part of for a lot of reasons. I'm excited to go back. We run well there. I'd like to find a little bit more and really be a car racing for the win and go to Victory Lane again. I have high expectations and expect to go there and run really well."
LOOKING BACK: Johnson took a huge hit in the points after Michigan. He came to MIS leading Clint Bowyer by 75 points, a margin that was cut to only 41 points after Johnson left Sunday's race prematurely with a blown engine. He ultimately finished 40th, the lowest of all four Hendrick Motorsports drivers.
ETC.: Johnson has completed 97.8 percent (11,262) of the 11,513 total laps contested in 23 career starts at Bristol. His average start there is 15.7 and average finish is 14.3. He has one DNF there.
15 CLINT BOWYER, Toyota
Team: Michael Waltrip Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Clint Bowyer remained in second place for the sixth consecutive week after Michigan. But his margin behind series leader Jimmie Johnson shrunk from 75 to just 41 points, while his lead over third-ranked Carl Edwards is 10 points.
BRISTOL RECORD: 15 career starts, 0 wins, 5 top-fives, 8 top-10s, 0 poles. Best career finish: Third in summer 2007 and spring 2008. Was seventh in this race last year and fifth in this year's spring race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Bowyer comes into Saturday night's race at Bristol with an excellent chance to further cut the gap between himself and points leader Jimmie Johnson. But to make even more progress, Bowyer needs to win his first race of the season, plain and simple. Here's his thoughts on Saturday's race: "(Bristol is) one of my favorite racetracks - it always has been. Whether you get caught up in something or not, whether you get a bad finish or a good finish - it's just a coliseum. There is no better way of displaying our product of racing then they do it at Bristol. Period. It's the best you can ever have of our kind of car racing - on a short track in that bull ring like that. For a fan you don't get a better bang for your buck anywhere."
LOOKING BACK: After finishing sixth at Watkins Glen, Bowyer finished fifth at Michigan.
ETC.: As much as he loves short track racing, especially at Bristol, Bowyer has never won there and has had mixed success over the years. Bowyer has completed just 92.3 percent (6,933) of the 7,513 total laps contested in 15 career starts at Bristol. His average start is 20.3 and average finish is 16.2. He has two DNFs there.
99 CARL EDWARDS, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: Carl Edwards remained in third place for the sixth consecutive week after Michigan. He trails points leader Jimmie Johnson by 51 (down from 80 points before Michigan), is 10 points behind second-ranked Clint Bowyer and leads fourth-ranked Kevin Harvick by 13 points.
BRISTOL RECORD: 18 career starts, 2 wins, 4 top-fives, 7 top-10s, 2 poles. Best career finish: First in summer 2007 and summer 2008. Was 22nd in this race last year and was 18th in this year's spring race there.
LOOKING AHEAD: Edwards is closing in on locking in his berth in the upcoming Chase for the Sprint Cup. But with the upcoming reseeding of the Chase standings after Richmond, Edwards needs another win or two in the three remaining pre-Chase races to significantly improve his seeding starting the Chase. Here's his thoughts on the race: "I love racing at Bristol, it's exciting for a number of reasons. We won there in the Truck series, the Nationwide series and the Cup series and we really got nothing to lose the next three races. We just want to go for wins and Bristol would be a good place to get one. It's a Saturday night race, there's a lot of energy around it and there's nothing like standing in victory lane on Saturday night in Bristol, so that's our mission."
LOOKING BACK: After a strong fourth-place finish at Watkins Glen, Edwards finished 10th this past Sunday at Michigan. He was looking for significantly better, but he also could have wound up significantly worse. He also failed to give himself a better birthday present, given his 34th birthday was August 15.
ETC.: Edwards has completed 95.2 percent (8,583) of the 9,013 total laps contested in 18 career starts at Bristol. His average start is 18.5 and average finish is 14.6. He has one DNF there.

sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head --adapter=all
If you run aticonfig --help and look at the end of the resulting output you'll find details on these options. Further up are options to let you control where the screens are placed.
You *might* also want to disable RandR support if you're using multiple cards -- not sure if that is still required or if we figured out how to make RandR (which is still single-card oriented) coexist with multicard support -- but make sure you're running the right setup commands first and let us know what happens.

Yeah... the hard part is that the RandR model assumes all displays are in the same frame buffer, which simplifies the rest of the graphics stack.
Going to multi-card means that drawing commands all need to be checked against card boundaries and executed on one or both GPUs depending on whether the window (and the operation) cross the line between cards.
