Any benchmark mode for it yet?
I've been producing a FPS game/engine specifically for Linux (compiles also for Windows) since late last year. The project is starting to be in quite a good state already, so I decided to bring this up also here at Phoronix. I'm sure there are some people who would be interested in this sort of project.
Link http://koti.mbnet.fi/~blender/glfps/
The names of the engine and game are still open, although for now the engine is called Polyscape.
The game idea is not at a very mature state yet, but what is sure is that this will be a realistic network FPS. For now, the goal is to release a test version that implements basic team based death match in a relatively large landscape setting. There is no real goal of a completely finished game, but the game development will be a continuous process, where new releases are frequently uploaded.
There will be a more elaborate game idea later on, but the plans are still on the table. Most probably the game will be team based and very objective oriented. By "objective", I don't mean the well-known "place bomb etc.", but something more complicated and inspiring.
I would be very happy to hear any comments and thoughts.
Nah . Not yet. With the newly added shadow mapping I get 30-60 fps in the forest map, that is shown in the latest images. I'm running it on i7 920 and GTX260, (Lucid Lynx). Without the shadows I get constant 60 fps even on three player network session. The shadow code surely requires optimizations.
That dont sound too bad for a start
Im a big FPS gamer, so if you want some people to help with testing let me know and I will try to free up some time to help you out with it dude Also I might be able to get others involved if you like as I play with quite a lot of people online within a number of game servers!
Drop me a PM if you require a hand with testing dude, I dont know how to code games, but I done a lot of alpha and beta testing so can help with that for sure!
I'm pleased to inform you that the first release is out for public testing.
The website is at the moment at
where the news can be commented on.
Just had a quick look, for a first release, seems like your off to a good start.
You said very professional,I will remember
perfect world gold,
buy perfect world gold,
cheap perfect world gold,
I just uploaded a new version, which introduces a myriad of new features and improvements. Frankly the game starts to look and feel pretty good now, after one year of development. I hope that especially Linux oriented people will find this game unique in its kind and give it a run.
The project has now also a dedicated domain at http://www.perilouspenguin.com/glfps.

The treatment of relapsed lymphoma remains challenging. Despite conventional treatment approaches, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the disease persists in many patients. The goal of this study is to find the highest dose of an investigational drug called CUDC-907 that can be given safely in patients with relapsed lymphoma that has persisted or returned despite standard therapy, and to evaluate its potential effects against lymphoma.
CUDC-907 is designed to reduce cancer growth by inhibiting two enzymes inside the lymphoma cells: histone deacetylase (HDAC) and PI3 kinase (PI3K). Drugs that target just one of these pathways at a time have shown to be effective for reducing lymphoma cell growth, but CUDC-907 is different in that it targets both pathways, making it potentially more effective. CUDC-907 is a tablet that is taken orally (by mouth).
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Anas Younes at 212-639-7715 or Amy Copeland, Research Clinical Nurse Specialist, at 212-639-6104.

Molded, breast-like, cupped forms made of either silicone or fabric which magically stick to your boobs and clasp together in the middle. Similar to a strapless bra but there is no back. They can be adjusted closer or further together for maximum cleavage. The most fabulous invention. E.V.E.R.

Visit the Big Apple for Your Next Vacation
New York city guide
"The city that never sleeps," New York lives up to its nickname with exciting diversions 24/7. Whether you're ready to experience the thrill of a Broadway show or you want to step into the shoes of the many immigrants who began their lives in New York with a visit to Ellis Island, the Big Apple offers both opportunities and countless more.
The USA's largest city, New York is made up of five distinct boroughs: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Each district has a unique personality and features all its own, but most visitors gravitate toward Manhattan: despite being just 12 miles long and three miles wide, this central district offers plenty of action for all age groups.
Exploring other areas couldn't be easier, either; just hop on board a bus or subway line. Overall, NYC has the advantage of being seriously walkable, but also boasts a reliable and well-organized public transit system. No matter where you stay when you're in town, there's a good chance you won't be too far from the action.
Things to see and do
Get a bird's-eye-view of NYC
The vertical power of this city is nearly overwhelming. Only like New York embodies the golden era of skyscrapers, and eight of them became the tallest in the world at different times over the course of the 20th century. Get a bird's-eye view of New York with an elevator ride up the Empire State Building, or try less-crowded but equally impressive Top of the Rock. This observation points extends over the 67th, 69th and 70th floors of the Rockefeller Center, from which you'll find fantastic views of Manhattan, Central Park and the Empire State Building.
Eat your way from Chinatown to Little Italy
When it comes to dining in New York, you really are spoilt for choice. Little Italy and Chinatown are packed with authentic eateries, while popular all-American diners like Stardust serve classics like Brooklyn Bagel, burgers, crispy wings and nachos. Finding the best bagel in New York could easily become the ultimate quest during your time in the city; take a look here to find some of the potential nominees.
If celebrity-spotting is at the top of your menu, check out Serendipity 3 on East 60th Street. Legendary for its "Frrrozen Hot Chocolate" dessert, this hotspot is always bustling and often sprinkled with some famous faces.
The stars of Broadway
Mesmerized by the bright lights of Broadway? Make sure to book theater tickets in advance and if you're not too picky about the production, you might even score seats near the stage at discount prices. Just ask the box office staff if the show has a daily ticket lottery system in place. From Wicked to Phantom of the Opera to Chicago, you could be watching one of the biggest shows on the planet when you're in town.
Where to stay
If you're itching to stay in the heart of the city, look no further than Manhattan's Uptown. Its northernmost clime is home to the Guggenheim Museum and the Met, Greenwich Village, Central Park and a revitalized, culture-drenched Harlem.
It goes without saying that NYC's most exclusive hotels are in Midtown: the New York Marriott Marquis (right on Times Square), The Peninsula New York (Fifth Avenue), Doubletree Guest Suites (Times Square) and the Carlyle (Madison Avenue). The famous lights of Broadway are only a cab or subway ride away, and affordable Midtown stays are also available: take a look at our Budget Big Apple guide for all the Manhattan tips you need.
A city within a city, Manhattan's lower precinct is made up of world-famous areas such as Chinatown, Little Italy, Wall Street and the resurrected World Trade Center. Soho's fashionistas, Tribeca's celebrities, and the East Village's culinary delights also make downtown truly cosmopolitan.
Close enough to the Manhattan buzz, but with a laid-back feel, Brooklyn is a borough where you can experience echoes of New York from days gone by, while enjoying the hippest crowds, trends and venues. Here you'll find hotels to suit a wide range of budgets and tastes. Just across the East River from Manhattan, the New York Marriott at Brooklyn Bridge is a gateway to both Manhattan and the heart of Brooklyn. Close to McCarren Park, the uber-cool King and Grove Williamsburg is the first full-service lifestyle hotel in Brooklyn. On Dean Street, The Missing Lantern offers the kind of affordable rooms that make Brooklyn a prime option for those traveling on a budget.

Reflexology's Effect on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Pilot Study (REPOS)
Recruitment status was Not yet recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is very common, affecting approximately 5% of women of reproductive age, and impacts not only on quality of life, but also has long-term health consequences for many sufferers, such as increased risks of developing Type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer of the womb. The symptoms that may occur such as irregular periods; lots of body hair; thinning hair on scalp, obesity and infertility, can also lead to poor self-esteem. Whilst treatments can help fertility, other treatments to correct the other symptoms are less successful. Alternative methods to regulate periods would be helpful, especially ones which avoid the long-term use of steroids in patients who may already be overweight. Reflexology is poorly represented in scientific papers, with nothing published regarding reflexology and its effect upon PCOS. However patients who use reflexology report more regular periods, thicker hair on scalp and greater wellbeing. Therefore we aim to investigate the effect of reflexology on:
- The menstruation cycle (normal being every 21-35 days).
- Imbalances in hormone, insulin and blood sugar levels associated with PCOS.
- Other problems associated with PCOS such as thinning hair on scalp, excessive body hair, and obesity.
- Quality of life. Government and NHS agendas agree that if there's evidence of an effective complimentary therapy the NHS should provide it. Therefore the results may have an influence on the care pathways of patients with PCOS towards a more holistic, patient centred and empowered approach. It is also non invasive and liable to result in higher patient satisfaction regarding their treatment. This research may also inform policy makers so that complementary medicine provision is provided on a wider basis within the NHS, which at the moment is dictated by the individual Trust's budget allocation. However this research could save money overall as in America, the yearly cost of treating PCOS is $4.36 billion.

You are hereNCSE's Scott to appear on Hardball
On April 21, 2005, NCSE executive director Eugenie C. Scott is scheduled to appear on MSNBC's Hardball show, hosted by Chris Matthews, to discuss the debate over evolution education, especially in Kansas. Also scheduled to appear is the Reverend Terry Fox, a Southern Baptist minister in Wichita, Kansas. Creationists in California?
The spring 2005 issue of California Wild features "In my backyard: Creationists in California," by NCSE executive director Eugenie C. Scott. Beginning by alluding to the evolution warning labels in Cobb County, Georgia, she comments, "Many Californians chalked up this example of the persistent creationism/evolution controversy to the fact that it happened in, well, Georgia. Protecting college students from evolution?
House Bill 837, dubbed the Academic Freedom Bill, was introduced in the Florida House of Representatives on February 15, 2005. Coalition defends quality science education in KansasFour organizations dedicated to quality education have joined in a coalition in response to recent attacks on quality science education in Kansas. The Kansas Academy of Science, Kansas Citizens For Science, Kansas Families United for Public Education, and The MAINstream Coalition have united to issue the attached Position Paper on the State Science Standards in support of the work of the state science standards committee and in opposition to the upcoming "science hearings" to be held by three conservative members of the Kansas Board of Education.

Are you allowed to do tow in's any where around here or is it illegal everywere?
Are you allowed to do tow in's any where around here or is it illegal everywere?
I have done tow-at's on assateague before if that's what you mean. Doesn't really get big enough to tow in around here. Saw a few guys doing them at the Reef Comp in OCMD before.
not really in delmarva. there is some law in ocean city that you have to have skis so far away from anyone. There are some places where you can get away with it. Having said that, I've done some tow-ats at an undisclosed location.
ive know ppl who do them out in the shoals, ive been out there and checked out the surf b4 but never actually bothered to get in the water..... its weird out there, its like monster hole in florida but not very good.
i know of one place around here to do them. seen them done there and have done them once in cali.
Sounds like someone just saw the new ROAM bodyboard DVD. Those are some sick nasty tows!!
. . . correct terminology is "Tow in" as opposed to being pigeon toed with a "toe in." And what's the point? Laird does tow in because the waves he rides generally can't be caught by a standard paddle in. I've been around here for what seems like an eon, and I've NEVER seen that kind of size. You have to go to Mavericks or Cortez Bank or Maui or Oahu for that kind of size.
Standard water protocol requires watercraft to be at least 60 ft from a ski or wakeboard rider, and even then the rider is supposed to have a pfd on. This time of year I don't imagine OC authorities would really care, or even notice, but summer is a different story to be sure, and rightfully so. Who needs just so much extra shrapnel in the impact zone?
Last edited by MDSurfer; Mar 26, 2008 at 02:04 AM.
i think the guy was asking about tow at's which I have only ever seen bodyboarders do. Just a fun way to boost some crazy air even on small days
tow in's are the new paddling see every one at the wedge
I was thinking about how you get pulled into the wave to get air and i would do it at assateague.

JulieHairDark BrownNormal HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairGood BrushI just got this brush last week. For me to say it does not help with static would be unfair. The air is so dry here in the midwest everything is full of static! I do feel like it smooths my hair better than my other brush. It is heavy so it does take some getting use too.posted Jan 31, 2013Link to this post
AmyHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairDenman 9 Row BrushI love this hair brush. It is the only one I can find that will blow dry my thick, frizzy, coarse hair. It actually grabs it from the root so that I can blow dry it straight. The other brush I used faitfully in the past, was discontinued. I wish I would have know that as I would have bought at least 50 of them! I now buy these in bulk. Please don't ever discontinue or change this brush. I have spent a lot of money in the past tying brushes that never work on my kind of hair. Became too expensive experimenting. I will continue to use this brush.posted May 7, 2012Link to this post

Linda R.FloridaHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBest Hairbrush In The World! Love It!I have used this model of Denman brush for ten or more years and would never be without it. It is perfect for both fine and thick hair. It penetrates to the scalp and allows for precision in styling better than any other brush on the market. The brush lasts practically forever, very sturdy. Still, I have several spares on hand, as I never want to be without this brush. I prefer the heavyweight, as it feels very good in the hand. Buy this, you will not be sorry.posted Jan 20, 2012Link to this post
CheyannaMissouriHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairBest Brush Ever!I bought this brush for myself and my boyfriends two girls. I will never buy another brush again. The initial use of the brush takes a second to get used to because the bristles are solid pieces of rubber and quite firm, but once you do you want to have it everywhere you go. I have thick, corse, wavy hair and it does wonders. It feels like I'm getting a nice head scratch as well. The girls initially weren't to keen on the brush but when they felt how much easier it was for them to brush their own hair and get through tangles without it pulling as often, they fell in love. Top Quality Product!!posted Dec 30, 2011Link to this post
IkiaWashington DcHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairAmazingI absolutely love this brush, as an african american its hard to find really good brushes for my particular grain of hair, however, using this brush to comb thru and blow my hair makes this extremely easy and it doesn't rip my hair out.

Kimberly A.HairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated Hair**i Will Never Be Without My Denman Hair Brush!**My hair is: (color treated, fine, shoulder length, and has a personality all it's own!)
I purchased my first Denman Classic Styling Brush about 10 years ago and I have been in love with it every since! I went on a cruise a few years ago and lost it somewhere in the hustle and bustle of packing and I ordered 2 more as soon as I got home! One to use and one to keep in case I misplaced it again! My mother tried the brush and decided she had to have one too! I have purchaed several of them as gifts for my friends because as soon as they try this brush they want one of their own and I am very possesive with mine and I do not share! So I just buy them one! =)
I HIGHLY recommend this brush if your hair has a fine, silky texture and does not have a lot of body. This brush perks up the hair and brings it back to life! After just a simple brushing, my hair is shinier, bouncier and frizz-free! And with proper care, the brush will last you a lifetime! It comes apart so it is super easy to clean!
Final thoughts: Try this hairbrush! You will love it, and your hair will love it too! =)

PetaWashingtonHairBlondeThick or Coarse HairMy Lifetime Brush!I used my aunt from the UK's Denman ALL the time when I was younger - bit creepy but when she passed away I inherited hers.... Since then I have owned one other black and orange one and now that the rubber is wearing thin on that one it's time to get the black on black which looks way nicer... I must say the very first Denman I had lasted a lot longer, but I think that might have something to do with the lack of hair products I used as a child... My last one lasted me maybe 5 years or so then the rubber started getting nasty... still a pretty good run for a brush.. Can't live without my Denman!!!!posted Jul 16, 2011Link to this post

My Absolute Favorite Saddle in the World
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've tried lots of saddles for my go-to road bike. None have been as comfortable as this saddle for everyday riding. Granted, my buns are probably slightly bigger than the average biker (I'm built more like a rugby player), so the curve and the wide of the saddle are just awesome. There are so many saddles out there, and so many styles that it's really hard to choose. I lucked out to find a local shop that let people use loaner saddles for a week. That really helped me find the right fit without wasting tons of money. I went with the braided carbon just because I thought it would give me some extra strength given my rugby buns!

Don't waste your money I guess anything that is not down could be considered a "down alternative". I have bought two other down alternative blankets for a similar price in the past and the quality was MUCH better. This is nothing more than a cheap 100% polyester blanket. When they say "light weight" they aren't kidding- it reminds of the cheap comforter sets I bought in college 20 years ago. It is a brand called "Cozy Nights" which is made in China after a quick google also seems to be sold at Kmart and Sears. I have always been happy with the quality of items I receive from Overstock but this is no deal. I will be returning it.

This Blanket Is a Waste Of Money My dog sleeps on my bed so I wash the linens frequently. From the very first laundering until the most recent one the fiberfill in this blanket comes out through the outer covering. Blanket must be made of a very poor quality material. Blanket is constantly covered in white pieces of fiberfill. I would not recommend this item.

Sophisticated (not garish) color, lightweight but warm
Need a blanky for the RV

I like down alternative . It is a good year round blanket to use.
it's washable
Can you tell me how much the king size weighs?
Hello jthejet, the king size weighs approximately four pounds. Thanks for shopping with us!
I used a bathroom scale, and it was 3.8 including the plastic packaging. I have not taken it out yet.
i am looking for a flat finish blanket. They all seem to be fuzzy at least on one side. This says it's microfiber. Does it have that tacky feel that some is present in some microfiber?
Hello Borisa, this is a really smooth microfiber. Have a great day!
very smooth finish.
It is smooth on both sides and also the same color on both sides.
Does the label indicate that this product is "flame retardant?"
Hi booth1980, we asked this question to our support team and found the label does not say flame retardant on because item is simply not flame retardant. Thanks for shopping with us.
No it does not. But unless you smoke or light a candle on the bed I don't think it is necessary for this type of product to be flameproof. I only use my in the summer with A/C so flameproof doesn't come into play.
Is this blanket made by Natori?
Thank you for your inquiry. We are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises.
Is this a blanket that you put a comforter over, or is this a comforter?
This is a Down Alternative Blanket.
I put a decorative quilt over it for more color and style. It is light weight but still warm
is it best for winter or summer?
This is best for summer.
is it easy to wash?
Yes this is very easy machine washable.
Do the bottom corner edges come sewn as shown?
If you are referring to what looks like a pleat at the bottom of the bed, no it doesn't come sewn like that.

Best Materials for Blankets
No one type of bedding satisfies every sleeper. Fortunately, blankets and throws are made in all kinds of fabrics, meaning it's easy to find one that perfectly suits your preferences. When you're shopping for the right blanket, consider warmth, texture, and your tastes.
How to Fold a Twin Blanket
Twin blankets are convenient for foldingand are the ideal bedding size for small spaces. Folding a twin blanket is typically a one-person job. With larger queen and king bed covers, two people are needed to fold the blanket properly. Additionally, smaller covers take up less space than larger quilts or other bedding. It is important to fold a twin blanket as soon as the dryer completes its cycle. There will be fewer wrinkles, and the fresh scent will remain longer. Look below to learn how to fold a twin blanket.

How to Wash Fleece Blankets
Fleece blankets are a warm option on an icy day. However, just like any other piece of bedding, fleece blankets are subjected to body oils, hair products, food and spills. In order to keep your fleece blankets in the best condition, you must launder them in a way that is specifically suited for fleece fabric. Laundering them as you would cotton blankets will likely damage fleece blankets, causing them to pill and quickly lose their shape.
How to Clean Wool Blankets
Wool blankets are among the most durable and desirable of all bedding. They're soft, warm and very difficult to stain or damage. Even a heavily soiled wool blanket can be easily cleaned with a brush, so washing should be done only a couple of times annually.

Selon Jean is a concert of original format, constructed from parts of "St. John's Passion" by Bach, and, by the translation of the Gospel in French by Isaac Lemaistre de Sacy at the end of the XVIIth century. For Bach, like all creators of the baroque period, the Word, incarnate in the human voice, was the focus of expression. By substituting the spoken recitatives of the Evangelist composed by Bach, of course we take the liberty of not adhering strictly to the original work. But this apparent betrayal also brings us back closer to the essential: the dramatic and expressive power of the Gospel text, magnified by the music of Bach. …"

Rated 1 out of 5�by Abina Case was not a good fit
I really liked the price and material of the arm band. Unfortuntely I had to return it because my phone in it's case didn't fit. Having to remove my phone from the case every time I ran would have been touch of a hassel and put my phone at risk of being broken. I also didnt care for the velvro latch to keep the phone in the case. It did not feel like a strong enough hold to keep the phone from jarring loose while running. The phone had to be slide into the case where you had to read the scrreen upside down which would have been difficult to change songs during a workout.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Bolty Not for us
Kind of flimsy and not easily adjustable to fit the right arm. Had to use upside down to work functions. Vended up returning.

Rated 2 out of 5�by Jself Sonic boom iPhone armband
Velcro that holds in the phone weakens and stops working over time and band is too small cuts off circulation. And I'm not a big guy

Rated 5 out of 5�by BJ Great product
It's a great product. My iPhone 4 stays in place while running, or even lifting.
May 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by LochNess76 Perfect for small arms
I'm pretty small (100 lbs) and had the hardest time finding an armband that would stay on my arm while I was running. This one is the perfect size and adjustable for different amounts of layers.
I have two complaints:
The price seems steep for what it is, but in the product's defense, $30 is pretty reasonable compared to other similar items of different brands.
The plastic that covers the screen isn't as responsive as I'd like it to be. That can be frustrating when you're running and want a quick stats check or to change a song. Not a deal breaker, but I certainly didn't expect that issue given the price.
May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Annie88 No problems
I have used it several times with no issues. I can fit a credit card or some cash behind the phone too which is nice.
April 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Sebastien Perfect armband for getting fit
I spent a long time looking at review of other iPhone armbands and returned a few after I found they were inadequate. I found this in stores and tried it on.Firstly, it was very simple to put my iPhone in the cover part of the armband. The ruber feel and look fit right in for the gym or an outside exercise. The most important aspect for me was the strap. It was very easy to adjust to my arm size which other armbands were not as adjustable.Finally, i ran with it in light drizzle and had no issues but I wouldn't want to test this out on heavy rain despite it being "waterproof".Overall I am very pleased and would recommend this armband to others.

I do believe this little Lv. 1 genderless magnemite is the answer to this.

I believe this Buneary is the question to this riddle?
The scientist and his Dusknoir look over the answers before taking off their hats and scratching their heads, with a troubled "Where did we go wrong?" look on their faces.
Ouch, so close. Let's see exactly how you did:
1. Correct!
2. Incorrect. Cut's Japanese name is "Iai Cut" which refers to a specific style of swordplay. The correct answer is Night Slash, which has the Japanese name of "Blade Testing". This referred to samurai testing how well their swords would cut - according to some sources, this meant progressively cutting through the fingers, arms, legs and neck of corpses to see if clean cuts could be made in one slice. However, it's also said that sometimes prisoners on death row were used (so they died a little at a time).
3. Correct!
4. Correct!
5. Correct!
I'm afraid that this Level Ball will be headed for the Casino as a giveaway. Better luck next time! =/
