Rafael Nadal made a stunning debut in Melbourne today, and in more ways than one.
The world's top baller absolutely crushed diminutive Belgian Christoph Rochus 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 in the first round and threw down some sick numbers to boot: 47 winners against 18 errors, 10 aces, 69% on first serve deliveries with 91% success, and made 8 of 9 net approaches.
In addition, the Mallorcan Matador finally debuted his highly-anticipated (and controversial) new Nike Spring '09 stylings I previewed back in November. He's working the Short Sleeve Top in white + classic charcoal, the Long Checked Short in classic charcoal (with some subtle dotting BTW), my fave Air Max Courtballistecs in light green + classic charcoal, and bandana and wrist bands in light green.
How incredibly sexy does he look in these duds?! *swoons*
Rafa was asked about the new look in his post-match presser:
Q. I notice you didn't have a sleeveless shirt on today. Are you sort of getting a bit older?
RAFAEL NADAL: You like it or the prefer the other one (smiling)?
Q. I wouldn't go sleeveless myself. What do you think?
RAFAEL NADAL: I feeled well, no? I feel good. Well, in this moment we gonna play like this. You never know in the future. But right now I am fine like this.
Q. Anything cause the change? Was there any reason to change it up?
RAFAEL NADAL: For change. I don't know.
LOVE. There really isn't anything more to say about this entire ensemble although, like any outfits seen on the runways during Fashion Week, I warn against wearing the complete look head-to-toe.
I mean, who wants to be compared to Rafa? You'll lose - just sayin'.
PS - As if this wasn't enough, here's a BONUS for all you rabid Rafanatics:

FASHION FIX: Rafa's stunning + stylish debut in Melbourne, showcases new-fangled Nike duds (to die)

Everything works. Shorts are particularly nicely fitted, almost like dress pants. Shirt looks fresh and cheeky; great that it's not a polo, but colarless tee (not so busy). Fit is flawless. Lime green details are superb against that olive skin of his.
And how he wears it - totally unselfconscious, without that sense of awkwardness that new things tend to bring.
Overall, a resounding YES for the nite gear.
Now, let's see the day combo. - AnonymousJanuary 20, 2009 at 7:05 AM
What I like about the new stuff is that it shows off his *shape*, not just his arms. I think you can really see the strength in Nadal's back and shoulders. The fit and the shirt that skims the waist really make the outfit work.

That's a recap of the dialog I was having with my TV in the wee hours of the morning, watching him totally kick ass. He looked FABULOUS!! In more way than one. The color comb looked AMAZING on him.
HOT. HOT. HOT. - Tennis ObserverJanuary 20, 2009 at 8:09 AM
Not bad, but those straps under the knees should black as well.
ReplyDelete I really think he could make any shirt, and shorts, any color, and sport look really hot. I mean he made red powder sexy - who wudda thunk it????
The charcoal color really takes his sexiness to a new level me thinks.
*still shuddering at thighs encased in charcoal shorts*
I, for one, do like the black on black too. I thought it gave Fed that sex-cred when he did his Darth Federer look.- johanneJanuary 20, 2009 at 9:49 AM
"The charcoal color really takes his sexiness to a new level me thinks." ****still shuddering at thighs encased in charcoal shorts*****
I. Could not. Agree more. He could wear a potato sack and make it look sexy.
*sudden urge to play in potato sack with Rafa* - AnonymousJanuary 20, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Wanna bet if he doesn't have a good AO he'll go back to the old duds? Why change when you've got something that's working :-)

I think with that outfit he will be the sensation in any Rave party..."Turn the black lights on !! UWA UWA...UWA UWA"!!

So hot. So so hot. Well worth waking up at 5:30 AM this morning to watch.

I didn't like the colors of the others shirts, but I definitely like this one. I think he looks much better with sleeves (sorry, Rafanatics :)
ReplyDelete - johanneJanuary 20, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Rich: SOUNDS PERF!!
Anon 2:14: No need to apologize! You go and love Rafa just as you wish :) Personally, I'm a fan of both looks. HOT!! And SEXY!! The list goes on! ;) - AnonymousJanuary 20, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Did anyone notice that Rafa didn't wear the Air Max Courtballistecs? Those were last year's Breathe Cage II's the new black and neon turquiose colors.
ReplyDelete - uvijek argenJanuary 20, 2009 at 1:30 PM
Maybe Im watching too much "LOST" or something, but maybe our lifes cross between each other and destiny bring us to DOWN THE LINE!!
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 20, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Yep - those were definitely the Breathe Cage II's and not the new Courtballistecs. Nike most likely made those especially for Rafa since he still isn't used to the Courtballistecs yet. They (Nike) do colors just for him a lot of times - I contacted them about getting the red Olympics/Davis Cup Breathe Cage II's but they said that specific colorway was only for Rafa. The nerve!

A real, superreal, surreal joy for my eye. The new Spring outfit must be washed about 100 times - you can count them by the strangely perfect round holes - is this what that coloured things in detergents do? Or you may take that foggy klacj shorts as a image of the night starry sky. Which is nice butifsjy is the limut on Rafa's shorts they shouk really tighten his guard. :wink

Does any software applications on Linux support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Does GIMP or Blender support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Phoronix: Running OpenCL On The GPU With Gallium3D
With all of the recent improvements going into Mesa/Gallium3D, along with some work advancements to the AMD GPU LLVM back-end, it's slowly becoming a suitable time for enthusiasts wishing to experiment with OpenCL on the open-source Linux graphics stack through Gallium3D and the "Clover" state tracker...
Does any software applications on Linux support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Does GIMP or Blender support GPGPU or OpenCL?
Blender does support GPU rendering with their Cycles Render Engine. There is work on openCL in gegl (the library that new versions gimp uses for graphics operations), but i am not sure what state it is in. Darktable also has openCL.
Not really, because that is strictly restricted to the blobs. You might find yourself a few corner-case users, but certainly not widespread deployment. Why would anyone build software depending on openCL if they can't trust that their customers will be able to use it?
In other words, it MUST be supported by both AMD and Intel **open source** drivers, AND have a solid CPU fallback, before software developers can trust in its availability.
I don't think that consumer any software will DEPEND on OpenCL any time soon. But it is reasonable to provide an OpenCL-accelerated path for some computationally intensive operations if there are enough people who can make use of it. And there are enough blob users out there.
I'm just saying that "nobody can run OpenCL" is not a good argument. Plenty of people can already, others will follow as open drivers mature.
i think right now it makes more sense for developers to invest time in openMP if they want to target a wide audience. dual cores are now standard on laptops and desktops, and quad and oct are not rare. Often adding just a few prama statements to the loops that do most of the processing can give big speed ups. OpenCL (and CUDA) only work on a smaller subset of algorithms, and are more effort to program and debug (though if you have a problem that suits them you can get huge speed ups).
I'd also suspect that foss software developers are more likely to be using opensource drivers than typical linux users. They are more likely to have chosen hardware with drivers in mind. they are more likely to be using opensource for philosophical reasons. and they might like to be able to debug kernel crashes.
There are CPU fallbacks already in place. Most code which runs OpenCL has a pure CPU path just in case the CL runtime isn't available... And on top of that, there are pure-CPU OpenCL runtime libraries available. The AMD CL SDK, when installed, will run on any Radeon 5000+ with an appropriate Catalyst version, and will run on any x86/x86_64 CPU with SSE 2.1 (I think it's 2.1, could be mistaken).
Two accelerated applications which haven't been mentioned: Bitcoin mining, aircrack-ng.
There's also open-source CPU-based OpenCL implementations already available.
The OpenCL run-times (closed and open) I know about:
AMD's run-time is included in the catalyst driver (they have a separate SDK for devs)
Nvidia includes their run-time in their binary driver (they have a separate SDK for devs)
Qualcomm supposedly ships a runtime for some of their GPUs
Same for some PowerVR/Adreno chips
MacOS X 10.6 and higher all come with both GPU (when the hardware supports it) and CPU-based CL implementations.
For those who've actually paid khronos for compliance testing, there's a page of valid conformance runs here:
One that I didn't expect in that page:
Imagination Technologies 2011-03-15 OpenCL_1_0
Poulsbo OpenCL Driver for Linux (running on atom)
Some BOINC projects already support OpenCL on linux; see for example MilkyWay@home.

Confident J-Mac draws assignment vs. Lee
The Pirates no doubt would like to see more of the James McDonald who showed up last Saturday. The Phillies, on the other hand, will hope the Cliff Lee who took the mound that day doesn't stay for long.
The two pitchers will start Thursday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia close out a four-game series. The Pirates have taken two of the first three after a 5-3 victory on Wednesday night and have won five of six overall.
McDonald has been up and down over the years. Last season, he posted a 2.37 ERA over his first 17 starts and 7.08 over his final 12.
In four outings this year, he has two strong games and two tough ones. McDonald (2-2, 4.12 ERA) surrendered eight runs -- four earned -- in 1 2/3 innings against the Cardinals on April 15, but he bounced back on Saturday by holding the red-hot Braves to one run on two hits in six innings, with nine strikeouts. He credited a video montage that catcher Russell Martin showed him beforehand that included footage of McDonald's strikeouts.
"The confidence from seeing all that … I carried it into the game," McDonald said. "It was very motivational. It worked. I felt confident out there, no negative thoughts at all, not even with the bases loaded. Every pitch I threw, everything I did, I felt confident."
Lee (2-1, 2.83) was not himself on Saturday against the Cardinals. He set a season low with five innings and a season high with five runs. He also walked three, all in the third inning, after issuing one total free pass in his first three starts. Manager Charlie Manuel attributed some of that to the cold weather, but Lee wasn't so sure.
"I don't know. I'm not going to sit here and make excuses," Lee said. "Obviously, I had trouble out there commanding the ball and I walked three guys in a row in the third inning. Those guys all scored. I've got to do a better job commanding the strike zone."
Pirates: A RISP breakthrough?
• Pittsburgh entered Wednesday batting .226 with runners in scoring position, including going 0-for-13 in a 2-0 win on Tuesday. Manager Clint Hurdle said the club is going to, "continually look for answers."
There was improvement in the Pirates' latest win, as they went 4-for-11. In the eighth inning, Travis Snider singled home Jose Tabata from second to tie the game at 3, and Brandon Inge hit a bases-loaded single for the lead.
• Martin went 0-for-4 on Wednesday to snap an eight-game hitting streak, during which he hit .444 (12-for-27).
Phillies: Changes in the middle
• The heart of the Philadelphia lineup took on a new look on Wednesday, with Manuel inserting right-hander Michael Young into the No. 4 spot between lefties Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. Both Utley and Howard have struggled against southpaws, so the new configuration could force opposing skippers into more difficult late-game decisions.
In the first game with the new lineup, Utley and Howard both homered off left-hander Wandy Rodriguez, while Young went 0-for-4.
• The Phillies grounded into two double plays on Wednesday, bringing their National League-leading total to 23.
Worth noting
• This will be the teams' last meeting until a three-game series in Pittsburgh from July 2-4.
• Inge is 16-for-43 (.372) with three home runs and eight RBIs against Lee, while all other Pirates combined are 11-for-63 (.175) with one homer and eight RBIs.

Product Details
Volvo S70 1998-1999, Side Mirror by Replace®. Damaged or broken mirror housings make your car unsightly, but driving with cracked or missing mirror glass can be dangerous, not to mention illegal. Don't risk your safety or run afoul of the law because of the high cost of an original equipment (OE) mirror! Replace side door mirrors are direct replacements for factory originals but cost much less. You get OE quality without the OE price.
- Factory original quality for less
- Full assembly, with mirror glass
- Direct replacement
- Installation is identical to factory unit
- No vehicle modifications required
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
Drive around any urban area and you'll see them: Cars and trucks with damaged, broken or even missing mirrors. Driving down narrow streets in close proximity to parked cars makes mirror-to-mirror contact almost inevitable. Mirrors have become so large (and so expensive!) that many newer cars feature power folding mechanisms to bring the mirrors close to the body and out of harm's way.
Not only does a broken or missing side mirror disfigure an otherwise nice car, it can make driving dangerous. Driving without being able to see behind or to the side of your vehicle can easily result in a collision with a vehicle you weren't able to see. And law enforcement officers will ticket, and maybe even impound, vehicles they judge to be unsafe. But going to the dealership to buy a replacement side mirror can be so expensive!
Forget about the dealer; get a Replace OE quality replacement side door mirror. For much less cash than the factory unit, you get a replacement mirror that is identical to OE in every way; same quality, same method of installation. A Replace side door mirror isn't some cheap universal fit part that will require extensive modifications to your vehicle for fitment. The Replace mirror will look, mount and function exactly the same as the original. Power and heated mirrors have the same electrical connectors, for plug and play installation.
Replace side door mirrors are so reasonably priced that there's no reason to live with a disfigured vehicle or endanger anyone by driving an unsafe car or truck. Get a Replace mirror and enjoy peace of mind and cash in your wallet! Replace is so confident in the quality of its mirrors that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed.
96.36When selecting the Replace® component that is right for your model from the Product Options list, you may be offered a choice of Good, Better or Best. Good may be a part manufactured by a different company than the one that made the original part, but because it's based on the same design, it will look and function identically to the OE part. Better may be a part made by a brand name manufacturer and Best may be a part made by the same manufacturer that made the original part. Some parts labeled Best bear the seal of the Certified Automotive Parts Association (CAPA), an independent, non-profit organization that oversees a testing program to guarantee the quality of automotive parts. CAPA certified replacement parts meet the industry's toughest standards. But regardless of how the part is labeled, have confidence that whichever one you choose, it will appear and function to your satisfaction.

Brantley, you did a pretty good job of describing the whole enchilada and detailing why TE has no legal RIGHT to drill in parks and floodplains, but you missed the one key element that set the stage and brought us to where we are today. It is important to recognize who, among us, stood up in defense of clean water, clean air, clean soil, our health, our safety, our property values
The massive efforts of key environmental leaders including Raymond Crawford, Jim Schermbeck, Molly Rooke, Rita Beving, Peter Wilson, Jenny Land, Marc McCord, Jeff Jacoby, Cherelle Blazer, and others starting in mid-2010, who had educated themselves on the legal and technical merits of the issue of urban gas drilling, were the only impediment to drilling being allowed in Dallas. Without their monumental efforts drilling would have been approved and Dallas would already be reaping the same environmental degradation, health problems and descreasing property values that our neighbors to the west are experiencing today.

Hey guys,
I wanted to get your opinion on a possible idea for an article. I had designed and built a portable workbench to use for modelling, but I don't know if it's something anybody else would be interested in.
I'm attaching some pics of the workbench. I designed it to hold my mini-lathe and other tools and parts for subs. It has a lot of storage built into it. It also includes a pull-out cutting board which can be flipped over and used as a extra worktop.
Do you guys think this is worth writing an article about? I'm not sure I'd bother submitting it except I see that they need articles...

Amy Schumer Hilariously Pays Her Respects To Kimye

Cute dogs and raunchy puppets!
December 17th, 2012
The end of an era has arrived. Gossip Girl's final episode has seen the light of day and the question we've been asking for six fashionable seasons has been answered. Find out who said 'I do', who said good-bye and who was really saying 'xoxo' all these years.
Bart has met his maker on the streets of Manhattan and Blair and Chuck are eager to escape. The police are checking every car, but with Georgina's help they're able to escape in the trunk of a limo.
They head straight to a small hotel in the country, but their secret hiding place is no match for Uncle Jack. The tracking device that he placed on Chuck's car years before led him to the fugitives and he's there to suggest an answer to their problem – get married.
As Chuck's wife and the only witness to the crime, Blair won't be able to testify against her husband. Blair is ready to say 'I do', but Chuck knows that she deserves to have her parents and Serena there and refuses a courthouse wedding. So it's back to New York!
Jack gets busy enlisting the help of the equally conniving Georgina Sparks to round up Blair and Chuck's family and friends.
Jack pulls Nate and Sage away from their project of unmasking Gossip Girl and bagging the story that is sure to save the Spectator.
Eleanor, Cyrus and Dorota are busy waiting for Blair's return and rush to her side once they hear from Jack. Lily is being comfortable by William, who when approached by Ivy, pretends that their relationship never happened. Instead, he was using Ivy to get back into Lily's arms, who he calls 'the love of his life'. Most fairy tales don't begin with prince charming sleeping with snow white's enemy to get close to her. This must be the Upper East Side version.
Serena and Dan have been holed up together in his new apartment, which apparently doesn't have cable yet. After reading the chapter on Serena that Dan snuck into her bag, she decided that she needed to get the real truth and nothing but from Dan before she left New York for good. So, Dan starts at the beginning.
At his first Upper East Side party, which he kinda crashed, Dan talked to Serena for the first time. And that was it. He was in love and would be forever.
Later, Dan overheard girls talking about Serena, with one saying that you're nobody unless people are talking about you.
So that was it. Dan Humphrey became Gossip Girl! It was Dan who dubbed himself Lonely Boy. It was Dan, who at the request of Jenny, the only person who knew his identity, leaked the story about her with Chuck so that she could leave New York and start over. It was Dan who kept Serena in the spotlight and it was Dan who shut down Gossip Girl after paparazzi caused Blair and Chuck's limo to crash, almost killing them.
But before anyone's brain can possibly begin to process that it was Dan as Gossip Girl all this time (not Dorota – I know!), Georgina is fetching the two for their wedding party duties. Dan decides that instead of giving Blair and Chuck a gift, he's giving one to Nate. Dan hands over his final chapter, the one that reveals himself as Gossip Girl, and gives Nate the story he needs to save the paper that he loves.
Nate sends Sage running back to The Spectator to post Dan's words, this time with his real name at the top.
Everyone meets at the Met and is assigned a specific task. They regroup few minutes later, with Blair calling in a favour from Elie Saab for her beautiful gown.
Chuck apparently lost a bet that resulted in him wearing a white and baby blue tux.
The families have gathered and it's time for Blair and Chuck to finally say 'I do'. But with tips from eager socialites alerting the police to Chuck and Blair's location, the two are taken into custody only seconds after their first kiss as man and wife.
While Cyrus works to get Blair and Chuck out of the slammer (what can be worse that going to jail in a white and baby blue tux?), the rest of the Upper East Siders gather at Blair's apartment to read Dan's admission. But they're not the only ones!
There's Juliette.
And Lola.
Dan's former bestie Vanessa.
Jenny's former frenemy Agnes Andrews.
Even Mayor Bloomberg was shocked!
And Gossip Girl's voice herself, Kristen Bell, who is busy running lines with Rachel Bilson.
Cyrus and his lawyer-ing work and Chuck and Blair are released from jail. Lily and Eleanor have gone out to pick up the necessary nibblies for a wedding reception, giving Blair time to scream at Dan for all the damage he's caused at Gossip Girl. But when Chuck and Serena come to Dan's defense, Blair realizes that Gossip Girl wasn't their enemy, but the person that pushed them to become the people they are today.
But who are they five years later?
Back in the Waldorf apartment, everyone is gathered for a ceremony. A newspaper shows an ad for a new film based on the autobiography written by Ivy Dickens and starring Lola Rhodes and Olivia Burke (Hilary Duff's character).
Eric and Jenny are home to see their siblings perform the ceremony we've been waiting for.
William and Lily, who are back in love, and Rufus, with his new love, Lisa Loeb, are also there!
Nate has made millions as the owner of The Spectator and may run for mayor.
Georgina and Jack have made an evil couple together.
Blair and Chuck have made a super cute little boy named Henry.
And Dan and Serena?
They have made each other husband and wife!
Taking a cue from Sex and the City and ending Gossip Girl's final episode with the song You've Got The Love, all of our favourite characters get their ending, and Gossip Girl turned Lonely Boy is lonely no more.

A low profile bed is simply a bed that sits close to the floor. Typically this style forgoes the boxspring mattress in favor of a platform bed frame. A low profile bed is a popular choice for modern or contemporary design styles. It has the added benefit of making your ceiling appear taller which in turn makes your room feel larger. Read More
The term low profile bed refers only to the bed frame. Beds that sport minimal designs are often termed as low profile. In these variants, the low profile bed frames are essentially simple. They do not have a dominating impact in the available bedroom space. They are perfect for simply done up small bedrooms.
Low profile beds are available in a number of different styles. A platform bed is the most common type of low profile bed. The mattress sits on the platform and creates a contemporary look. Go for one with built in storage if you are short on space. A metal bed frame is a simple style of low profile bed. Go for a beautiful ornate metal bed frame for a country inspired look. Sleigh beds are also available in a low profile design.
Low profile beds are available in a number of materials. Choose between a plain wood bed frame with a simple stain or a bed frame with a luxurious leather covering. Different colors like shades of brown and black offer a dramatic choice. Or go for white for a crisp and clean look. An upholstered bed frame is another great look for a low profile bed.
No matter what your taste or budget is, Cymax will have a great low profile bed for you.

A Flight for Life Helicopter rises above backed up traffic Monday Sept. 30, 2013, in south-central Colorado. Roads were closed as emergency personnel work to aid hikers trapped after a rock slide on the trail to Agnes Vaille Falls. / James Redmond, AP
Five hikers were trapped by a rockslide in the Colorado mountains and declared dead Monday, authorities said.
Chaffee County Sheriff Pete Palmer said the five were trapped by large boulders, some the size of a car, and that rescuers concluded their situation was not survivable, county spokeswoman Laura Smith said.
Rescuers removed an injured teenage girl from the rockslide but were unable to reach the five missing hikers.
The girl, 13, was pulled from the debris with injuries Monday afternoon and flown by helicopter to Children's Hospital in Aurora, Colo. The sheriff's department said her condition was unknown. Calls to the hospital were not returned.
Rescue and recovery crews backed away from the slide debris late in the afternoon because of concerns it was highly unstable, another county spokesman, Dave Cotton, said.
He said county authorities brought in mining engineers to evaluate the debris and make recommendations on further efforts to recover the hikers. Recovery efforts could resume Tuesday.
"We will go back in as soon as the area can be declared safe for the search teams," Palmer said.
Authorities said the initial emergency call said there could have been as many as seven hikers involved, but that they now believe the number was six, including the evacuated child.
Another hiker witnessed the rock slide and called 911, the sheriff said.
The names of the dead were being withheld pending notification of family, the sheriff said.
The slide occurred approximately 1 mile above the trailhead on the trail that climbs to the Agnes Vaille Falls when the slide was triggered. The hiking trail is highly used by local residents and tourists.
Like much of the Colorado mountains, the area has received heavy amounts of rain in recent weeks and that may have been a contributing factor to unstable conditions in the area, although the exact cause remains unknown, Palmer said.
The scene is near Mount Princeton and the tiny town of Nathrop, Colo. The trail is off County Road 162.

Governor's Welcome
Welcome to the Web site for the Idaho Chapter of the American College of Physicians.
ACP is the nation's largest medical specialty organization. ACP, founded in 1915, and the American Society of Internal Medicine (ASIM) founded in 1956 merged in July of 1998. Membership comprises more than 141,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students. Internists provide the majority of health care to adults in America.
Internists (doctors for adults) in our region are joined in the Idaho Chapter, to speak for Internal Medicine in our state and to reflect the interests and concerns of our specialty. If you are an internist in Idaho but are not yet an ACP member, I invite you to browse our site to learn more about the College and the Chapter activities in our area.
As Governor, I have the responsibility of representing our Chapter to the national organization; encouraging internists in our state to become members and members to advance to Fellowship; recognizing members; encouraging input and action on national and local political issues effecting the environment of internal medicine; hosting local scientific meetings and CME events; and encouraging medical student members and Associates (i.e., residents) to participate in local and national College activities.
This site has been developed to keep internists in Idaho and our membership up-to-date on developments and activities in our Chapter. Our newsletter and details about upcoming regional meetings will be posted here along with names and addresses so that you can communicate with us.
Any suggestions you might have for what should be included in our Web site are encouraged. Similarly, we would like to hear any suggestions you have for how the Idaho Chapter of the ACP might help make us better physicians and improve the quality of the professional life of internists.
We hope that you will visit this site frequently and enjoy its contents.

And we have over 5 000 votes! With all the Steam news regarding Linux, I hope this particular request on GOG gets lots of attention too!
If I would have the option, I would say "No" against the motion:
- comparing Valve with their internal products with a company that resells other software is misleading at best: Valve ported their games on Linux, not others. They encourage other to do the same, yet Valve does not make the dirty work.
- porting a game to Linux is hard, if is not using a layer of emulation like DOS-Box or Wine. The reason is that many old games are with a lot of assembly x86 code that access hardware fairly directly. This code is hard to be understood and hard to make sure if it is written in a portable way. Also many companies in games did had quality related issues for many many years: speed prevails over code quality. John Carmack states this about software in year 2011, what about software written 15 years ago!?
- GOG may not have access to all software when they pack the game, they may need just to patch the launcher and to fix specific installations issues in their QA part. I have bought Septerra Core, and some issues appear at random with Win7 (that throws you to desktop)
A solution it would make if game companies after 5 years would make the core of the engine opensource, so people can port their game (exe and .dlls) to another platform(s)/hardware. GOG they fight for distribution freedom (no DRM) but not for OSS per se, so there is a long long way to make the software accessible on other platform (even be it Linux, iPad, Android or such).
Don't see how the first point is relevant. GOG belongs to CD Projekt Red who also owns CD Projekt who are the developer of The Witcher games so they do have internal products. That's not the point, however, and that brings me onto your second point. Nobody is asking anybody to port games, as many games that GOG sells already exist for Linux, and wouldn't need to be ported in their entirety. GOG isn't being asked to do what Valve is doing. If I misunderstood your points, then I apologize, but I am not entirely sure what you are trying to argue, so I just retorted with what I assumed you were trying to say.
So Project Eternity by Obsidian Entertainment is currently being funded via Kickstarter, and a Linux version will be made once 2.2 million US dollars have been pledged. The current pledge lies at 1.65 million US dollars, and the Mac OS version has been secured. Now take a look at the following, taken from http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...y/posts/311594
So this game will definitely support Mac OS, and at the rate that the game is being funded at, will most certainly support Linux as well. The game will also be making its way to GOG because of GOG's policies on DRM. GOG, however, still doesn't support any operating systems outside of Windows, and with more and more games supporting both Mac OS and Linux as well, this is becoming troublesome. The guys at Obsidian Entertainment believe this as well. For our Mac friends, we are still working on a DRM free option, since GOG does not currently support the Mac. I do believe GOG needs to seriously consider expanding as several GOGers are now getting their games from sources that support more than just Windows, and this trend is only going to become stronger as multiplatform support increases.Originally Posted by Obsidian Entertainment
Please, GOG. You've done so much good by choosing to spit in the face of DRM and regional pricing, among other things. Don't wait till it's too late.
Source.Originally Posted by GOG
So Mac OS support is definitely coming it seems, but what's this? There's a another new operating system GOG is planning to support? Judging from the thread, the new operating system will likely be Windows 8, but many are still hoping that it will actually be Linux. GOG is known to support Windows, so supporting a new version of Windows wouldn't really be that big in terms of news, but then again, stating official support is necessary too I suppose. Still, Linux is moving up in the gaming world judging from all the Humble Bundles, Kickstarters, general indie attention, along with Valve and Steam support, while Windows 8 is getting a lot of flak. With GOG taking on more and more indie games, are they realizing that they are losing some sales due to people buying games from sources that offer games for all three major platforms?
I would have never known such initiative existed.

Prince William Sound, Alaska Coastal Digital Elevation Model
NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) is building high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) to support individual coastal States as part of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program's (NTHMP) efforts to improve community preparedness and hazard mitigation. These integrated bathymetric-topographic DEMs are used to support tsunami and coastal inundation mapping. Bathymetric, topographic, and shoreline data used in DEM compilation are obtained from various sources, including NGDC, the U.S. National Ocean Service (NOS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other federal, state, and local government agencies, academic institutions, and private companies. DEMs are referenced to various vertical and horizontal datums depending on the specific modeling requirements of each State. For specific datum information on each DEM, refer to the appropriate DEM documentation. Cell sizes also vary depending on the specification required by modelers in each State, but typically range from 8/15 arc-second (~16 meters) to 8 arc-seconds (~240 meters).

What is Marriage?Sherif GirgisPrinceton University Department of Philosophy Robert GeorgePrinceton University - Department of Politics Ryan T. AndersonUniversity of Notre Dame Department of Political Science November 23, 2012 Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Vol. 34, No. 1, pp. 245-287, Winter 2010 Abstract: In the article, we argue that as a moral reality, marriage is the union of a man and a woman who make a permanent and exclusive commitment to each other of the type that is naturally fulfilled by bearing and rearing children together, and renewed by acts that constitute the behavioral part of the process of reproduction. We further argue that there are decisive principled as well as prudential reasons for the state to enshrine this understanding of marriage in its positive law, and to resist the call to recognize as marriages the sexual unions of same-sex partners. Besides making this positive argument for our position and raising several objections to the view that same-sex unions should be recognized, we address what we consider the strongest philosophical objections to our view of the nature of marriage, as well as more pragmatic concerns about the point or consequences of implementing it as a policy. *UPDATE: We have revamped and expanded our argument for a new book, "What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense," available now for preorder (see below) and released in December 2012. The book revamps the article's argument, bolstering and elaborating its positive points for a general audience, answering the most common and serious objections, and sharpening objections for opposing views. We will be posting reviews, and replies to new critiques as they arise, at whatismarriagebook.com Number of Pages in PDF File: 43 Keywords: marriage, gay marriage, same-sex marriage, traditional marriage, Proposition 8 Date posted: December 11, 2010 ; Last revised: November 23, 2012Suggested CitationContact Information

Brussels, production rehearsals
09 June 2005
Brussels, production rehearsals
Tired today. Normally weve been going to bed about 7am, but not having to get up till 2pm or so, which kind of works, though predictably there is construction work going on right outside my hotel room window. Today was to be the day of our one and only dress rehearsal, so we all needed to be in a little earlier. The band came in and sound checked some more. Bono walked around the final configuration of the new b-stage set-up. The eventual winner is a design using two low curved ramps with target stages on the end which some would say bears a remarkable likeness to the original design.Patience and non-hysteria seems to have paid off, as Id hoped it might. We had 100 or so invited guests to witness the run through which, although being utterly lost in a stadium, did at least provide the tiniest bit of atmosphere. It went pretty well and most of the feedback and comments were about things which either arent finished yet or that I wanted to change anyway.
After the run through we did a quick video shoot with Bono for a last minute spontaneous sequence. Its for the opening of Zoo Station, the idea being to recreate the iconic image of him as The Fly in front of TV static. We didnt really know it till we did it, but the new character we shot tonight is essentially the same guy, but 15 years on, tired and cynical after a life of excess; some jaded Nazi in a bus conductors hat whos been dragged out of retirement from some dodgy tango club in Buenos Aires to go through the motions one last time. It all came together in the moment and it was very funny. Bono nailed it first time, instantly getting right into character, pressed up against a huge video wall with Zoo Station playing on a boom box and me yelling instructions, whilst all present howled with laughter.
This was followed by our final programming night in Belgium. We were all completely wrecked, but there was a lot of cleaning up to do, and final (for the moment) versions of video pieces to be made. Weve introduced three new camera positions and several new gags, so all this has to be worked into the set up. The key has been to programme everything in such a way that allows us to operate it with a degree of spontaneity, which again is pretty much unprecedented, especially in the world of video playback. Ashs control software is extraordinary. And he just sits there, making it up as he goes along.
It got light. We packed up. We got in the van. Bed at 7am, maybe later.

California mothers Nicole Chiala and Kristina de Corpo started Amenity back in 2004. Their simple, nature-inspired designs were from the first part of an effort to bring the peaceful tranquility of their youth into the urban, adult homes. Two years later the pair realized their goal of offering their designs exclusively on organic or sustainable materials, and from there the business has only grown. Nursery items are only part of a wide-ranging selection from Amenity. Read the rest of this entry

Luxury style "angora" bed socks
By Connie
from Upstate South Carolina
Lovely angora socks - however, your HS sizing identified was too big for my accurate shoe size
excellent warmers
By Moses' Sister
from Augusta, GA
Excellent - plan to order more
Just buy 'em already!

from Cold Spring, NY
I have nerve damage in my feet that make them cold and sensitive - wrapping them in Angora keeps them warm AND keeps them from the sensation of sheets and blankets disturbing their sensitivity.
Toasty Toes

Have used them in bed only on cold winter nights.
Second purchase - great product!
By Barboone
from Sand Springs,OK
These are (and were) gifts for my cold-footed husband. He sleeps in them and doesn't pad around the house in them. Angora is soft and warm but don't think it's known as particularly durable. I bought them for the soft & warm part! The worn-out ones are 3 yrs old.
Soft and cozy

from Aurora, CO
These socks fit well and keep my feet warm in bed at night. The only drawback is a little too thin for extra warmth.

Well, again: PulseAudio is not a high-latency framework. It's low-latency; PA tries to provide lower latency than just using ALSA.
If games don't work with it, it's not due to latency. The bug lies elsewhere.

Well, again: PulseAudio is not a high-latency framework. It's low-latency; PA tries to provide lower latency than just using ALSA.
If games don't work with it, it's not due to latency. The bug lies elsewhere.
I would like to see direct evidence and benchmarks of PulseAudio being low latency, consdering even the ones of the devs has said it sacrifices latency for power consumption (link is on the 1st page).
BTW I am comparing ALSA with ESD to PulseAudio. ALSA and ESD had far fewer programs with games (though SDL had to be set to use OSS for the Allegro games to work).
First, from personal experience: Playing notes in a synthesizer through PA is lower latency than through ALSA+dmix
Second, from the PA website: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/AboutPulseAudio
"Good low latency behaviour"
"Very accurate latency measurement for playback and recording."
And most importantly:
"PulseAudio is intended to provide lower latency than the software mixers dmix and esd."
("dmix" is ALSA's mixer.)
And I can confirm that this is indeed the case. Actually, I was surprised at this myself, because before trying PA I stayed away from ALSA (I'm normally using OSSv4, which I still do on my main machine). PA has many problems; however, I came to the conclusion that latency was not one of them. Not only that, but it noticeably improves latency.
I guess the "latency issue" of PA is simply something that sticks around from years back, and everyone is repeating this to this day. Another reason might be some Ubuntu brain damage. The developer of PulseAudio ranted about this, mentioning that PulseAudio has a worse reputation than deserved because Ubuntu (the most widely used distro) didn't offer a well configured PA:
Linking to the PulseAudio website as a source is not a good argument...
There should be independent benchmarks and comparisions if PulseAudio is truely lower latency than ALSA.
Linux needs a stupid simple underlying audio API and PulseAudio/ALSA is not it. OSSv4 would be a much better alternative, though it's mixer GUI needs some work and some drivers need to be ported over to it. OSSv4 is also used by the other Unixes, such as the BSDs. ALSA is only used by Linux.
As I said, I can confirm this personally. You want me to write a blog post about it and link to it? :D Would that make it more credible?
Anyway, take that from someone who flamed PA a lot in the past.
I agree on the OSSv4 part. To date, it's the best way to get high quality, low latency audio for me on Linux.
Yes, OSSv4 with a bit of cleanup is the way to go.
Steam is not needed, I'm actually afraid of all the CS playah corruption. Hopefully the infection is contained within Ubuntu forums.
I think things would be better without PA. But things not working on it is the fault of distros using it, no way around that.
Devs should just use SDL/OpenAL/libao/whatever high-level sound lib, and expect Ubuntu to provide proper configuration for them to work with $UBUNTU_SOUND_SYSTEM.
On multimedia, I disagree about gstreamer, use ffmpeg. But anyway, in that area it's not really a mess, just a question of preferences.
there is a nice framework for audio. It is called ALSA. There is also SDL.
What else is needed? Besided buzzwords from butthurt ubuntu users?
Direct ALSA support imo makes little sense. SDL or so since it makes porting efforts to and from Linux pretty simple.

Not all trains are alike: A freight line's sobering perspective
With the exception of the clear-headed Chris Sununu, the Executive Council went along with Gov. Maggie Hassan last week in endorsing the study the House had earlier approved.
Passenger rail fans say the study is a big step forward in bringing passenger rail to southern New Hampshire. As for recent past studies, which debunked the idea? Well, they clearly were no good, say the train fans.
The only thing clear here is that rail fans won't be confused or deterred by the facts. The public, however, may want to take note of recent remarks by someone with some experience in railroading.
In a piece we ran last Friday, Pan Am Railways President David Fink was quite clear. Pan Am runs freight trains through New Hampshire and New England. It does so without taxpayer subsidy. Passenger service, on the other hand, will require huge amounts of taxpayer loot in New Hampshire, just as has been the case elsewhere. Fink cited Minnesota.
"There, a 40-mile rail line was upgraded at a cost of approximately $317 million for service into Minneapolis in 2009. Since the operation of the first train, ridership has consistently failed to meet projections, and the taxpayers of Minnesota are paying a subsidy of approximately $1 million per month to support a service that is failing to meet even muted expectations."
No problem with "muted" expectations here.
The passenger rail choir is loud and proud. It now includes some Nashua and Manchester businesses that insist they could attract more workers if they could be allowed to live in hip Boston and merely hop the train to work up here in the sticks.
This, they say, is the "big picture" that we need to look at. The train is an "investment."
If that is so, how about a rail tax on the willing? How about letting these people and businesses who say "build it and they will come" pay for it? Dave Fink and Pan Am pay the freight.
Let the passenger pushers follow that example.

This discussion may contain spoilers!
Just got my case file today. I also decoded the barcodes on the time card (yes, they are actual barcodes!). Judging by searches around here and on the web, I must be the first one to actually do this (at least, the first one to share that I did).
Contents follow in spoiler part.
The 1D barcode - located in the middle of the card - is a Code 39 barcode that reads TIMEMARIACHIS.BIZ. This is an actual domain owned by Telltale, and currently contains a countdown to October 15th, and a MIDI file playing as background music. Wonder what will happen then?
The 2D barcode - located at the bottom of the card - is a DataMatrix barcode that reads Propina.
So, do I win anything? :D

Bruce Springsteen
The writers of this blog are not music critics, and they don't consider a second (or third, fourth or fifth) mortgage to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to pay for front-row tickets, but despite being a whole lot more middle aged than they were when they first put \x34Born in the U.S.A.\x34 or \x34The River\x34 down on the turntable, still feels like Bruce has something -- OK, a lot of things -- to say about our country and the way we live our lives, things that not a lot of other artists are saying. And whether he's talking about the knife that can cut this pain from your heart, the house that's waiting for you to walk in or what that flag flying over the courthouse means, he's nailing down feelings that are so universal that they can raise your spirits and break your heart at the same time. Plus, let�s face it, the man rocks.

Can I race people in these, and shoot colored shells at them?
Kett-Cars are awesome! We have owned 5 and still have 4. The frames vary in size (I have seen small, med, and large). The smaller ones have rubber treaded plastic tires and the large ones like this Woot have pneumatic ones. My son has outgrown the smallest one which was gifted away, but he still enjoys the mid size ones. I have 2 of the larger pneumatic ones, older versions of this Woot, and at 5'9", 155 lbs, I can fit on them and race my son, albeit lose. The gear shifter allows freewheeling downhill and the brakes work well. Handling is superb - corners like it's on rails with responsive hook-and-groove steering. These last forever and are easy to tinker with and tune-up if you're somewhat mechanical or have experience with bikes. Other than rust there's not much that can go wrong, and I do advise storing them indoors when not in use. Best of all they're kid-powered and great exercise! They are expensive but German engineered and high quality. However I don't need another.
Oh my! My kids encountered these pedal cars at a campground this summer and have been begging me for one ever since. They had a blast riding and racing them around the Jellystone Speedway in Hagerstown MD. They must be durable, as these were the exact ones used and abused there.

Possibly, but this one would be better: http://www.amazon.com/Buddy-Pedal-Go-Kart-Orange/dp/B004FTQ04C You don't brake using a bar that rubs the tire, like the woot one. You brake using the pedals like kids' bicycles.

On this Pedal Car you can brake two ways, one with the Hand Brake the other with the pedals.
These have been around for so long. My cousin had them when they were kids, they're now in their mid to late 20's. The hand brake works awesome. We used to pull e-brake turns all the time. The thing with back pedal brakes is that if the vehicle builds a lot of momentum, e.g. a steepish hill, it can be hard to engage that back pedal motion to stop. The forward momentum can kick your feet forward. Being able to grab a hand brake means they can slow it down and control it a little better. Just my 2c.
I have bought several used Kett cars for my boy ranging in size. They are absolutely the best!
Bought an older version of this Kettler on Craigslist. Extremely well made; expect it would last generations. Free-wheeling feature is amazing, and one of the best reasons to buy it. Adjustable seat allows even medium-sized adults to ride it... umm... 'test the course for safety' (I'm 6', 180lb). Works great on long, gradual slope; especially if it starts with a short steep to build momentum more quickly. Downside? Pedal/gearing doesn't seem to have very much mechanical advantage, and the thing is kinda heavy. Forget any uphill pedalling. Guess I need to think about some sort of rope tow device to get us back up the hill...
I picked up an older one of these at a garage sale for a steal. It's probably 20 years old but it's built like a tank and will probably last another 100 with some care lol. My kids love it.
