With a Geforce 8600 GTS it runs though, but I had to first increase the resolution, otherwise the screen would just be black. I also had to disable Compiz, otherwise that would mess it up too. Then, at higher resolutions, it would show up but it'd turn all white. This was due to HDR. Turning that off fixed it. Apparently there's a bug which causes HDR not to properly scale and instead lets it escalate to maximum lighting, making the screen almost entirely white.
The sound is also crackly, and when looking through the stained glass window, there was a bright glow so you couldn't really see the objects on the other side of the glass, while when running the Windows binary through Wine you could see objects fine but with the distortion effect.
So, it seems there are some definite glitches in the Linux version, but otherwise, pretty good benchmark software. ^^

Recruiting is heating up with two weeks til NSD
National Signing Day is two weeks away and Florida's coaches are on the road recruiting relentlessly.
They've had in-home visits with several prospects in January and hosted many of them on officials, with more scheduled to file in this weekend and next.
Things are beginning to take shape with the remaining targets at positions of need.
Fullback Kennard Swanson (Lakeland, Fla./Lake Gibson) visited UF this past weekend and is already in Florida's egg basket, but he may not hatch this month or even this year. Swanson doesn't have a committable-offer because of his academics, but the coaches are going to save a scholarship for him according to his coach.
Although his grades from last semester were good enough for him to qualify, he still has to retake his SAT this Saturday and his ACT on Feb. 9. The Gators will likely allow Swanson to sign on Feb. 6 and then wait on his test scores and final semester grades in June. If they're suffice, Swanson will report this summer with the incoming freshmen. If he doesn't qualify, he'll have to attend either a prep school or junior college before coming to UF.
The Gators are still in contention for South Plantation running back Alex Collins, who was leaning toward Florida immediately following his official visit on Dec. 14. However, he visited Miami last weekend and heads to Arkansas this Friday for an official. Those two schools have been gaining steam this month and are now the favorites for Collins. UF will be in the picture until the end, but he appears to be an unlikely addition for the Gators.
Florida is looking to land a sixth receiver and the three targets are James Clark (New Smyrna Beach), Ryan Timmons (Frankfort, Ky./Franklin) and FSU commit Levonte Whitfield (Orlando, Fla./Jones). Clark unofficially visited UF on Jan. 6 and will return on his dime again on Feb. 2. He has also visited Clemson, Nebraska, Northwestern and Purdue and will take his final official to Ohio State this weekend. Timmons was offered by the Gators on Sunday and is expected to officially visit UF on Feb. 1. Kentucky currently has the edge for the in-state prospect. Whitfield will visit Florida this weekend after his indoor track meet in Gainesville, but the speedy wideout seems solid with the Seminoles.
Montravius Adams (Vienna, Ga./Dooly County), Jaynard Bostwick (Port Saint Lucie, Fla./West Centennial) and JUCO Ole Miss commit Jarran Reed (Scooba East Mississippi C.C.) are the defensive tackles left on Florida's board. Adams visited UF on Jan. 5, but he's still considered a long shot for Florida. After officials this month to Alabama and Miami, the Gators get the final visit for Bostwick on Feb. 1. They have a great chance to land him as well as Reed, who took his first official to Florida on Jan. 11 and is not solid with the Rebels contrary to his comments in the media. Reed just visited North Carolina and will see Kentucky this weekend followed by Ole Miss on Feb. 1.
Elijah Daniel (Avon, Ind.) is no longer in play for UF because of his grades and recent commitment to Ole Miss, while Robert Nkdemiche (Loganville, Ga./Grayson) remains a heavy lean to Ole Miss despite his official visit to Florida. That leaves the Gators with Auburn commit Tashawn Bower (Somerville, N.J./Immaculata), who officially visited UF last weekend, as the only viable option at defensive end. Unfortunately for the Gators, he still has trips to LSU and Auburn. If the coaches can't bring Bower on board, look for them to go after an under-the-radar or JUCO recruit.
With James Hearns out of Florida's class, the Gators have room to take back former commit Quinton Powell (Daytona Beach Mainland). On Tuesday, Powell announced he was done with visits and will decide between Southern Cal and Florida on National Signing Day. Powell told The Sun he's "50-50" between the two schools, but UF hasn't put the full-court press on him just yet.
Finally, the Gators are hoping to take another cornerback and USC commit Jalen Ramsey (Brentwood, Tenn./Brentwood Academy) could fulfill their wishes. He officially visited Southern Cal this past weekend, but the firing of defensive backs coach Marvin Sanders on Tuesday is a big blow for the Trojans. Ramsey's father, Lamont, has said his son wanted to play for Sanders, so Florida's chances at flipping the five-star prospect are now better than ever. Ramsey will host coaches from USC, UF and FSU on in-home visits over the next two weeks and then make a final decision. Immokalee cornerback Mackensie Alexendar is still considering a possible unofficial visit to Florida this month, but the Gators don't have much of a shot because they can't offer him immediate playing time or a scholarship for his brother, Mackenro.
Florida currently has 27 commits in its 2013 class and room for six more members. For the commitment list, click HERE.

Zach, any chance that Coach Lawing can bring in any of these D-Line recruits? Do you know if he has any relationships? Now that Daniels is pretty much out of the picture, DE is a little worrisome.
by Cleveland Gator
Good Luck to all the Student athletes and coaches on the upcoming NSD and Football season.
Mus'Champions' Dynasty days ahead.
Go Gators!!
by NorthStar Gator
hoping for Ramsey, 2 or 3 DL (Adams, Bostwick, Reed, Nkemdiche, Bower) Heard there may be another in the picture (silent). Collins, Clark, and Swanson. Seems like Urban Meyer is watching the Gators board and following it. Clark and Timmons.
by james
thanks Zach. Champ seems ready to close strong this year.
by GatorKen
With Tommy Jordan gone, is there a chance (i hope) of adding another OL to this class?
by Conky 3000
Just get the playmakers. Why is Alabama so good its because they get the guys who makes a difference on the field. They were stacked at every position last year. We need to get better in a hurry or we will be right behind Alabama and Georgia for years to come!
by FlaboyDg
Why would the Gators go after an under-the-radar prospect or JUCO guy instead of saving the scholarship for next year? If we sign 33 does that mean we cannot count any recruits back to this year?
by Kevin M.
I doubt we'll be behind Georgia at all next year even with our current class…however if we get RN or PR we'll be the powerhouse of the SEC East for years to come
by Tally Gator
I hope we get all 6 recievers. We definitely need them.
by mike
FlaboyDg – what the hell are you talking about!! You may have forgotten that we beat the two teams that beat Bama and Georgia so sufice it to say we will be on equal grounding this year.
by npgator
Hope your right Zach, and we get at least another D-lineman, and CB/DB. As previously stated, CB to me, is our area of greatest need, followed closely by solid OL and DL prospects… It will be interesting to see how it all shakes out in the next 2 weeks… Go Gators!
by Swampman
Folks- What we did last year won't matter if we don't followup with a SECCG appearance in 2013.
Developing the recruits is as important as signing them.
Does not matter what star they carry in HS, show up on the filed in college and you will have great sucess every season.
by NorthStar Gator
We will be fine at de for next year of we get at least one of the DTs… Easley can play both- fowler, Bullard and I'm willing to bet 2 of Ivie, Mcallister, cox and q Williams step up
Cornerback is a bigger need imo
by Kyle
This is a great class, and next year is already shaping up nicely.
Don't worry so much about stars and headlines, people. If the coaches have big "Cat just ate the canary" grins on their faces after signing day, I'm happy, whether we are ranked #1 or #20. The final poll in January means everything, the final poll in February means nothing.by lizardgrad89
I agree with the recent posts about the starts and stripes of recruits… It is more baout addressing needs, and that is what should be our main concern going forward…
by Swampman
I love this class, and the character of the players Muschamp chooses to pursue. It's wishful thinking, but I'd like to see us add Collins at RB, Ramsey at CB, Reed at DT, and Clark at WR. If they can pull in another DE, great. If not, that's fine too.
Gators. Win or lose.by Doug
sorry for the spelling, the font is like a 2 before you post, was trying to say, stars… and about…
by Swampman
I heard that Hatcher backed off from his commitment to USC.Will the Gators be interested in him?
by t.j.johnson
Love your picks Doug. If we could somehow add Nkemdiche (sp?) to your class it would feel like christmas all over again!
by Gator N NC
Hatcher doesn't have interest in the Gators anymore and cancelled his Jan. 25 visit to UF last week.by Zach Abolverdi
Rivals is reporting that Q.Powell is down to UF and USC. I'm not sure what is going on but it does look like UF is trying to sign Powell. And I don't see any mention of him here. I hope we sign Powell.Go Gators!
by Gators79
Gators79, press Ctrl+F and type "Quinton".
by UFL1138
Powell is that good…we need to get him. After he adds weight he will be fantastic.
by Jerry Brown
UFL1138 Type in "GFY"
Carry On
by gators79
Loving the way this class has shaped up. I firmly believe we end up with at least 30 in this group and probably the nation's 31 class. Really want Clark and another DT and DE though.
by Gator Todd
Heard that CM's visit with 2014 OL recruit K.C. McDermott went ok today; he was disappointed with the amount of time spent on football versus academics. Meaning too much time spent on football and not enough on academics.
It is too early to tell but I sure hope we are not selling the NFL instead of UF. Zook did that and we had some amazing classes with some suspect results and more than our share of problem players.
The Sugar Bowl reminded me of a Zook coached team to be honest. Players thinking of the next level and not ready to play. Time will tell.
by Plantation Gator
Plantation, most Gator recruits say the opposite, how the UF coaches stress other areas of life more than most coaches from other schools. I would not form my opinion on the UF recruiting strategy on one recruit's comments, or on one game, but on the entire body of Muschamp's work.
by Steve
As long as they never, ever, ever wear those orange pants again I think everything will be fine.
by Doug
If we can't get Adams and/or Nkemdiche I hope for Bostwick, Reed, Ramsey, Powell, Collins, Clark, and Swanson.
by james
Any info on if we have any interest in trying to to get Durham smythe? I know we still gave a little depth for TE but would be nice to pick up another one. Also just curious who the other recruits would be that were currently aiming for and have serious interest in being gators. Thanks man.
by bamagator
After seeing how Jones, Fowler, and Morrison played their first year, I can't wait to see who is going to bring there A game from this years class.
IMO VHIII, A.Ful, D.Rob, and Alzone have the best chance to make a huge impact….CAN'T WAIT!!!by GaToRcHomP
So hearing Ramsey decommitted from USC…any truth?
by GaGator02
Ramsey would be a big momentum swing that would be clearly visible to other recruits. Clark, Bostwik, Reed, and Collins couldn't ignore that type of impact. Any close this year would be stronger than what happened last year. Looking forward to watching the spring game.
by J
@J Agreed. Last year's whiff was a nightmare.
If we could get one more impact guy I'd be happy, just so that we don't end on sour note. However, I've got to say, even without any additions, this is one of the best recruiting classes I can remember when you account for talent and need.
by Cleveland Gator
Great stuff, Zach…OK Doug-no orange pants-we got it (lol)…I'm concerned about Hearns…are his grades really that bad that he wouldn't be able to comitt? I agree whole-heartedly w/ lizardgrad89…stars mean nothing-lets get & concentrate on the types of guys UF needs to make them better…rankings matter not in February but in January, after the season…Go Gators!!!!
by Baton Rouge Gator Fan (BRGF)
I hear FSU may lose their OC to Miami, at least that's the rumor going around right now. If so, Whitfield could be a serious possibility, but I'm not sure if he isn;t just at UF trying to recruit for the nolies.
by Gator Todd
Mailbag questions: Do we even want Powell? That's alot of work to get 6 lbs to have 3 transfer in the next two years.
Can you give us a list of visitors this weekend? Just heard another Free Shoes commit is coming.
What's your gut tell you on Ramsey and Reed and Clark? Those three are the big ones I want (that are realistic).
What do you know about the new DL coach? I'm assuming if nothing else he's a stud recruiter?
Is there still an OL in the mix?
THANKS!by B
Bostwick is down to 3. Do we have a shot? Ramsey and/or Collins?
by james
I have a real strong feeling we will have those last 3 added to our 27 and have a #1 final class….We will maybe add a couple more 4 and 5 stars to round out the lineup….Im excited about next season. Go Coach Boom!!!!!
Bob in Jupiterby bob
Don't be surprised if we pull a couple away from FSU at the last minute with their OC leaving for Miami. Wouldn't surprise me a bit, because FSU has lost 6 assistants including both coordinators, and that's like replacing almost an entire coaching staff. It WILL hurt them on NSD IMO.
by Gator Todd
BOB, I have a feeling we won't have 27 much longer. Hearns' grades are hurting him and I think he's getting afraid of the depth chart with Anzalone's arrival in Gainesville.
by Gator Todd
So we've parted with J. Hearns…we need MLBs (plural) bad! None of the current recuits look ready to play inside at this level. We're replacing the entire middle of our defense…that worries me. I hope Ronald Powell can stand in there…
by TigerCatZeroZero
Dang, the next couple of weeks ought to be fun.
Gators. Win or lose.by Doug
Has anyone heard anything about LB Darren Hambrick Jr. and his recruitment? I saw him play his Soph season and was impressed. He's very aggressive and comes from an NFL bloodline…and we need MLBs. Zach are we in-touch with K. Kelsey at all? I recall you saying he was looking at Louisville, Kentucky and others, Our OLB recruits better be ready for some cross-training and head banging on the INSIDE!
by TigerCatZeroZero
[...] I mentioned in my story Wednesday, Miami and Arkansas appear to have pulled ahead of Florida. The Gators had the advantage in [...]
Oh, by the way Zach, GREAT JOB! Why pay Rivals, when we get better info from you and its FREE! Keep up the great work! THANKS
by ron
Among a number of strong comments here, I wanted to cite "Doug" in particular for "getting it right" on "BIG PICTURE" and "OVERVIEW" comments here: I, TOO, feel that it is the high QUALITY of the young men Muschamp & Co. are bringing in, thanks to a steadfast commitment to high standards of character, personality and intelligence, that is the "extra edge" that will make this and future classes "special"–and yield a dominant program that is about to embark on what will be for us an HISTORIC run of successful seasons.
That, and (as Doug also warns) staying away from those God-awful orange pants, that only appeared during the Pell reign–and THEN only to echo and underline his previous success at Clemson, a dumb idea AND reference that should never have been made in the FIRST place!by DRU2012

Cosmetic Dentistry Overview
AACD: Responsible Esthetics
AACD Means Responsible Esthetics
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry aimed at creating a positive change to your teeth and to your smile. Most think of tooth whitening or veneers when cosmetic dentistry comes to mind, but a cosmetic dentist can provide much more.
A skilled, experienced cosmetic dentist can help to improve your appearance, your smile, even your self-esteem, and confidence. Today, cosmetic dentistry has continued to evolve to where cosmetic dentists can address functional and esthetic patient concerns.
What We Believe
Members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry stand for the practice of responsible esthetics. That means AACD is the primary dental resource for patients as they strive to maintain their health, function, and appearance for their lifetime. We believe that esthetic dentistry must complement the overall general and oral health of the patient, and do no harm. So we strongly encourage treatment decisions based on the foundation of evidence-based protocols combined with sound clinical judgment. AACD also strongly encourages that cosmetic dentistry integrate interdisciplinary medical and dental treatment to enhance outcomes and minimize the loss of healthy human tissue. That means AACD member dentists champion and provide minimally invasive treatment protocols, when and where appropriate, ensure they are consistent with the long-term health and needs of the patient. Finally, we encourage the use of innovation in technology and materials to deliver dentistry that is predictable and long lasting.
Patients who have undergone treatment are often transformed from the inside out because knowledge in the dental profession for American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) members is constantly growing. That commitment to education has led AACD members to believe that responsible esthetics means dealing with beauty that's more than skin-deep. It means striving for a smile that connects. The changes that can be made to your smile, through a wide variety of procedures, techniques, and the newest materials, are remarkable.
What a Cosmetic Dentist Does
Cosmetic dentistry has evolved from simply replacing and restoring damaged teeth to covering a wide scope of esthetic procedures. Today's cosmetic dentistry includes tooth whitening, bonding, tooth-colored restorations and fillings, porcelain veneers, orthodontics, dental implants, and more. You may be surprised by how dentistry has evolved and what can be done by an experienced cosmetic dentist.
Selecting a Cosmetic Dentist
Selecting a cosmetic dentist is crucial. The first step is to look at your smile and determine what you want to change. Your cosmetic dentist may have some other concerns when you visit, but it's best to arrive having your own wish list.
Next, ask your family and friends for referrals. Evaluate the skill level of those dentists you are considering, then check the credentials and experience level. At your consultation appointment, be sure to ask again about their experience level and if you can see some photographs of their work.
Your best resource for finding a cosmetic dentist is the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
Click here for more information on Why Select an AACD Dentist
Have an honest discussion with your dentist about your cosmetic goals to be sure they're realistic. Then discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the recommended procedures. Finally, ask about the cost and treatment time frame.

Astros need length from Bedard vs. Indians
The Indians should be more relaxed, at least offensively, for Sunday's series finale against the Astros at Minute Maid Park after erupting for 19 runs on Saturday to snap a five-game losing streak.
Cleveland, which had struggled at the plate during its skid, collected 22 hits on Saturday night. The Indians scored eight runs in the first inning, matching their total from the previous three games.
"Sometimes it takes just one swing to get you going, get the team up and get a little motivation," said Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall, 3-for-9 with a two-run homer in the series.
The Indians will turn to Ubaldo Jimenez on Sunday as they look to win their third series this year. Jimenez is winless in three starts with an 11.25 ERA and lasted just 1 2/3 innings in his last outing on Tuesday.
The Astros won the series opener on Friday, 3-2, to snap a five-game losing streak of their own. But Saturday's loss took an extreme toll on the bullpen.
Philip Humber lasted just one-third of an inning on Saturday, becoming the third Astros pitcher in five games to not make it out of the first. The Astros are in the early stages of a 17-game stretch without an off-day, and the bullpen has already endured a heavy workload.
Houston relievers have worked 30 2/3 innings over the past five games, including 8 2/3 innings on Saturday, 7 2/3 innings on Monday in Oakland and 7 1/3 innings Wednesday in Oakland.
"I will always be conscious of the workload of those guys," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "I sit and talk with [pitching coach] Doug [Brocail] and [bullpen coach] Dennis [Martinez] every day. We know who's available and not available and to what extent they're available. Sometimes that goes into how I'm going to manage the game as well, and I have to make sure those guys are able to last for the long haul."
One of those starters who struggled in his previous outing is Sunday starter Erik Bedard, who went a career-low one-third of inning in Monday's loss at Oakland. The left-hander threw only 35 pitches, though, so he should be fresh on Sunday.
Bedard walked four batters on Monday, which was his biggest problem. Still, opponents are hitting just .148 (4-for-27) against him this year in 7 2/3 innings over three outings, including two starts.
Indians: Myers dealing with arm issue
• Brett Myers will be evaluated in Cleveland on Sunday after complaining of tendinitis in his right forearm after his start on Friday night.
"We're sending him back to Cleveland and getting him looked at," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "Just to see what's going on and what we need to do."
It's possible that Myers could be skipped in the rotation this week, according to Francona. The right-hander is scheduled to pitch Wednesday against the White Sox.
Myers is 0-3 with an 8.02 ERA in four appearances, including three starts.
• Asdrubal Cabrera left Saturday's game in the first inning due to a left wrist contusion. The shortstop batted twice during Cleveland's eight-run first, with a single in his first at-bat and a groundout to end the frame.
Mike Aviles replaced Cabrera at shortstop in the bottom of the inning. Aviles went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.
Astros: Altuve off to strong start offensively
Jose Altuve went 2-for-3 on Saturday to extend his hitting streak to six games. Through 17 games, the second baseman is hitting .371 with one home run and eight RBIs.
Altuve leads the Astros with 26 hits and has eight games with multiple hits. He's reaching base at a .413 clip.
"He's doing tremendous," Porter said. "He's a baseball player. A lot of times people talk about size and stature and this and that, but this guy has an extreme passion to be good and it drives him. He has inner motivation to go along with an extremely gifted ability with hand-eye coordination to put the barrel on the baseball, and he has fun. From a manager's standpoint, it's easy to pencil that guy into the lineup every day because you know you're going to get everything he has."
Worth noting
• Astros outfielder Chris Carter is 1-for-19 over his last six games, with eight strikeouts.
• Cleveland pitchers have struck out at least 10 in each of the last five games.

PH, or high blood pressure in the lungs, is a chronic, life-threatening disease. If you or your patient have symptoms of PH and/or have a disease associated with PH, please consider pulmonary hypertension.
Learn about PH & diagnosis:
From JAMA Internal Medicine - Published online April 8, 2013: "Patients referred to PH centers for diagnosis and treatment are often referred late (with functional class III or IV disease), receive misdiagnoses, and are inappropriately prescribed medications. A reevaluation of educational efforts is required to improve awareness and the care and outcome of patients diagnosed as having PH."
Read the study abstract
The latest on
Read news coverage
Medical professionals can take courses, watch presentation recordings and read journal articles at PHA Online University to learn more about pulmonary hypertension on topics such as classification, diagnosis and testing, treatment, management of the illness, and associated diseases.
Watch and share this video about the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension and why early diagnosis is so important for PH patients.

Topic: Controllers advice
So the last time I really touched any decks in anger was around six years ago and things have moved on somewhat. But my recent daliance with the ipad Traktor DJ app, despite it's showstopping bugs, has got me thinking of investing in Traktor Pro or Serato and a controller - so any advice on this or should I just get an iRiver and a Mac?
I already have a top end laptop and powered monitor peakers and all that shenanigans, but I have no idea what to get in terms of a controller. I want something small, easy to mix with in the same way as I did in the old days (Xfader, two decks). FX in built, but nothing too fancy because FX are usually overdone anyways. EQing and loops, cues all built in, and a headphone jack. I have no room for a full scratch set up with Technics at the moment, so needs to be compact and able to do all the above in one, neat package. Basically something to knock out mixes on with just a maptop and speakers and some cans.
Is the NI X1 any good? Anything that I can get on ebay for less than £200 and Traktor thrown in would be a bonus.

Anime Expo® is committed to ensuring that attendees with disabilities have access to all convention programs, facilities, and activities. Policies and procedures have been developed so that all our attendees may feel comfortable and safe during their four days at Anime Expo.
Attendees with disabilities may bypass the badge registration lines. Upon arrival at the convention center, attendees with disabilities should visit the information booth in South Hall (the booth closest to the registration area) so that the information booth staff may escort them to the registration area, no waiting in line required. After the attendee has completed his or her registration and picked up his or her badge, the attendee should return to the info booth in order to receive a priority access sticker.
Priority access stickers should be pasted to a visible area on the attendee's Anime Expo badge so the sticker does not obstruct view of any vital badge information. Each disabled attendee and up to two of his/her companions will receive the priority access sticker, which entitles all recipients to the following accommodations:
Guide dogs and other assistance animals are permitted in the convention per ADA regulations.
The Los Angeles Convention Center is in compliance with the American Disabilities Act. More about ADA compliance can be found on the Los Angeles Convention Center website:

Your participation in the Event means that you agree to comply with this Weapons Policy. The "Event" means any event held by the Society for Promotion of Japanese Animation ("SPJA" or "we"), such as Anime Expo®, Anime Conji®, and Project Anime®.
You further understand and agree that, for your own safety and the safety of everyone at the Event, SPJA has the absolute and immediate right to inspect your costumes, prop weapons, and any other item you bring to the Event. We may temporarily or permanently remove any attendee at any time for violating this Weapons Policy — because your safety, and every attendee's safety, is so important.
No real weapons are allowed at the Event.
This includes firearms, knives, curio, relic, and antique firearms, and every form of ammunition, whether carried openly or concealed and even if the weapons are inoperable or unusable. Even items that may be legal for you to own or carry are not welcome at our events if they violate this Weapons policy. The following are examples of weapons that you CANNOT bring to the Event:
Prop Weapons are allowed only if they are Peace Bonded by Weapons Check.
Prop weapons are inoperable weapons that support the overall look of your costume or character. For example, Airsoft guns, Nerf guns, water guns, dart guns, disc guns, pellet guns, and cap guns are prop weapons.
Prop weapons must be submitted to "Weapons Check" for Peace Bonding. SPJA has the sole discretion to approve prop weapons. Anime Expo's Weapons Check booths are located in both the South Hall Lobby and the West Hall Lobby. Other Event Weapons Check booths shall be designated in the programs and on signs.
We may revoke Peace Bonding at any time in our sole discretion. For example, we will revoke approval if you use or brandish the item in an inappropriate fashion (like play-fighting or swinging the weapon around). We will also revoke approval if we receive complaints about the way you are using or displaying your prop weapon or futuristic device, or if you tamper with the device that Weapons Check uses to show that your prop weapon has been Peace Bonded.
Peace Bonding Rules
If a prop weapon is, or was, at any time capable of firing anything, it must be rendered permanently inoperable in order to qualify for Peace Bonding. You can do this by, for example, permanently plugging the barrel with glue, caulk, or any non-removable substance. You must be able to prove that the gun is permanently decommissioned upon inspection. Bring tools if necessary
In addition, to be Peace Bonded, your weapon must meet the following criteria:
If your prop weapon looks realistic, then federal law requires that it either be translucent enough to see inside, or be at least half covered with solid white or bright red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, or purple. 15 CFR § 1150.3.
Peace-bonded weapons at the Event.
You may display your prop weapons only as costume pieces. Do not swing or brandish your prop weapon in any way that could be considered unsafe or threatening.
You may pose with a prop weapon in a brandishing manner, so long as no reasonable person would interpret it as anything but a pose for dramatic effect. Event staff or management may stop your posed brandishing in their sole discretion.
Please put your prop weapons away when leaving the Event site at night so that you don't get the attention of local law enforcement. SPJA cannot be responsible for any actions taken by local law 2 enforcement – such as detention and questioning – if you decide to display or brandish your prop weapons at or outside of the Event.
Martial Arts Performances & Demos
You may display working martial arts weapons during, and 30 minutes before and after, a performance that has been approved by Event management in advance.
Of course, you must use common sense to avoid harming any person or property. You must conceal or wrap the weapons when transporting them to and from the demonstration, and you must remove the weapons immediately after the demonstration. Con staff reserves the right to stop any performance or demonstration in their sole discretion.
Uniformed Costumes
It's just not safe to impersonate local law enforcement or other emergency personnel. SPJA has the absolute right and sole discretion to decide whether your costume looks too much like one of these uniforms, and to request the removal or modification of that costume. If you don't cooperate, we may expel you from the Event in order to protect the safety and welfare of everyone there.
If You Buy Weapons at the Event
If you buy a prop or other weapon from at the Event, you must immediately submit it to Weapons Check or remove it from the Event hall.

Phoronix: Participate In The 2011 GNOME User Survey
The 2011 GNOME Survey is being hosted on Phoronix and everyone is invited to participate, regardless of whether GNOME is your primary desktop...
The post is self-explanatory: Gnome developper do not care for what their users think.
Gnome is just a trophy for them.
Fix that ignorance first and the usability will skyrocket.
Yeah, same kind of thing...
gnome missed the boat big time. The desktop is NOT ABOUT THE SHELL, ITS ABOUT THE APPLICATIONS. Gnome has become WAY TOO OBTRUSIVE. Get the hell out of my face and let me actually get to work.
I guess that they've become too full of themselves. They want the world to revolve around them, but their place is to be in the background, just making life simpler.
I find the first part of this questionnaire rather messed up...
01. Do you know what GNOME is? No (skip to question 3) Uh?
02. Which of the following best resemble your desktop? How about an "Other" alternative? Because I'm using openbox/tint2 on top of an openSUSE KDE base... Or have "Are you using a desktop environment? Yes/No" first maybe?
03. Overall, how satisfied are you with GNOME? Which version? What part (since most criticism I've read was specifically about the shell)? How do you know whether I've used GNOME at all?
04. Does GNOME do what you want? Ditto.
Question 5 to 9 at least have "Not applicable to me"
10. How are you taking this survey? Erm what?
I'd say the rest starts to get it right... Whoever put this together might want to ask someone to proof-read the darn thing next time.
Though kudos for at least asking for feedback (timing might be a bit off, alright)

Survey done.
You all remember how when Windows XP came out it had that colourful theme with large buttons all inspired by Fisher-Price. The reaction was along the lines of "I could be great for my X but not me". I keep getting the same feeling about Gnome 3 shell which seems to be designed for everyone else except the people who actually use Gnome.

SPSMM provides book reviews for members to learn about the latest books in the field. Currently, book reviews are published in the SPSMM Bulletin because page space in the Division's journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity (PMM) is at a premium with priority being placed on publishing manuscripts. This policy could be revisited once additional pages are allocated to PMM.
Persons interested in reviewing books or having their books reviewed in the Bulletin should contact the SPSMM Book Review Editor. The SPSMM Bulletin Book Editor will exercise his or her discretion as to which book will be reviewed in any given issue based on his or her judgment about the interests of the membership and mission of SPSMM. The current SPSMM Book Review Editor is Dr. Jay Wade, Department of Psychology, Fordham University, Dealy Hall, 441 E. Fordham Rd., Bronx, NY 10458.
Book reviewers must assert in writing that they do not have a conflict of interest or personal relationship that would interfere with providing an objective review. The Book Review Editor will select reviewers in response to an author's request, and the author will provide a copy of the book to the Book Review Editor.

Pauls TV has the Panasonic DMP-BD755 Blu-ray Player for $60 with free shipping. Add to cart to see discounted price. Features USB and Netflix playback, 1080p/24p compatability and includes an HDMI cable.
I've been waiting for a Pannny BD at a low price and thought I'd finally found it! Not so. Do a search and read the reviews. Unlike virtually all other Panasonics, this one seems to be a real lemon!
Same price on Amazon btw
Time and again, items at buy.com are rated 4 to 5 stars...then check Amazon.com and the rating falls to 2 or 3....same with this item....lots of bad reviews everywhere except Buy.com....why is that?
I've got this one. It has few apps and it requires you to unplug it if you turn it off in the middle of watching Netflix. Despite all that (and no wifi) it's been fine for what I need it for; quick enough, plays well, remote good, picture and sound excellent.

Why Should I Update My Device Drivers?
Updating your drivers can fix problems and bring stability and new features. Drivers play an vital role in all your computer devices, to let your system recognize and make it work properly.
Why is it So important to Keep Drivers Update?
Your computer is made up of many parts as 'devices', from several different manufacturers. Periodically these companies will release new drivers to enhance performance and to fix bugs. By keeping your device drivers updated you can be sure you are getting the most out of your computer system and that it is running at peak performance.
If your device drivers are out of date, errors begin to occur. This is especially true for new users of Vista/Win 7& 8. If your hardware was originally purchased for an XP system, it most likely did not include any drivers for Windows Vista/Win 7& 8. As a result, after updating to Vista/Win 7, the driver and the hardware will not work. Driver Navigator will quickly install Vista-ready drivers, allowing you to use your devices once again.
