I think what complicates things is that the USFSA has to promote skaters who have the skill set to achieve success in international competitions. Skating fans in this country has a long history of favoring artistry over technical prowess. Now that "artistry" is quantified, programs that we fell in love with before would not score very well under this judging system. So do the judges try to please the public by rewarding programs that are skated well but lack the content to score high under an international judging panel? I think that is a mistake, and at least the skaters who might feel they were undermarked have a clear sense of what areas they need to improve in. Yes, some skaters were marked more generously than others, but I think EVERY long program at Nationals was scored higher than it would have been in an international competition.
I do hope the networks show slo-mo URs more. However, I also hope fans are not duped by the incredibly stupid idea that says, "even though two skaters may appear by you to have similar artistic quality and similar programs, but one had several falls and the other skated cleanly, the falls aren't really a big deal, we as judges 'know better', so just deal with it." That would allow judges to use things that are often borderline like URs or things are that are subjective like the PCS to justify biased decisions. The audience is not always right, but most of the time it is right. Figure skating has always had a large performance/artistry side to it, and if the audience liked it, that's pretty good evidence that the performance and artistry were good.
didn't see skaters on tv. waiting for video but going by results scores,
the scores for mirai are too high regarding pc wise, zhang are too long.
if gracie skated as well (i want to see it) than maybe okay. with the mess ashley had her score is too high 2 fall and 121 total 188 with gpf 2 falls and only a 181. too high. see a 183 not a 188.
should be tougher on the u.s skaters, the public is. the pressure is.
i wonder if they will skate for it for the 3 just skate.
gracie can be the it girl-but she will have to skate like she did at nationals to have a shot at the 4cc title,medaling and beating out mao, akiko, kaetlyn, kanako.
she will have to be consistent.
not poor mirai her 109 is to low. zhang should been a 115. not a 111.
the u.s. read between the lines pick who they want on podium and adjust the scores so they fit.
going into year it was ashley, gracie, surprise they got up there.
why bother watching , having nationals just tell the public that you will put who you want on podium and why they are there instead of having competition.
earn the title, we didn't pick the right one. please still states figure skating is rigged now more than ever. they want you up on top they will put you up on top and adjust the scores/ pcs wise accordingly.
So what is more important - the business model and the public opinion, or the skaters who actually have to do it?
Treating your customers like they have a brain seems to work in some industries, but not this one. Apparently some of the audience still doesn't get it. Protocols are available, the SP is available to view. And yet people still complain that the scoring is wrong. That's because they don't even bother to look at it.
They just see "fall in LP" equals "lose". There's more to it than that. If you want the kind of sport where there isn't more to it, then make it a jumping contest (no SP, no footwork, no music, no halfway bonus) where the falls count 10 times more than a UR. That seems to be what the public demands, right?

I agree that the number of falls is not and should not be determinative, but to say that the fans' opinions do not matter is wrong, unless figure skating wants to be like fencing or weight-lifting, which exist only for the participants and the Olympics. If figure skating wants to attract audiences outside of the Olympics, it needs to make the sport interesting to the spectators. It has changed because of audience reactions before. When audiences were mystified by Trixi Schuba winning gold over Janet Lynn, figures were de-valued and eventually, eliminated. I used to think that the 6.0 system was wrong for not counting the short program in the overall score, but I now see that it made a lot of sense. We are actually seeing a kind of repeat of the figures era, when the skater with the best long program doesn't win over a skater who skates with several falls or other obvious errors, based on something the audience hasn't seen. If something like the Gold-Wagner scoring (or the Suzuki-Asada scoring at an earlier event this season) happens at Worlds or the Olympics, I think there will be a change based on audience reaction--or at least I hope so.

That change has to come from the ISU and not the USFSA. The USFSA has a duty to send athletes to Worlds who can flourish under the rules that the ISU has put forth. A program with multiple URs is going to get slammed by an international judging panel. Should the US ignore these flaws, reward this program, and send this skater off to Worlds just because it is what the audience wants?
Well, in gymnastics when the scores are in the 20 range these days, a fall is a one point deduction, and in skating when the points are in 200+ range, a fall is also a one point deduction. That tells the story. I'm fine with URs being heavily penalized, it's just that falls really aren't. I actually feel like 5 points deduction for a fall is about right.
I am proud of the US ladies and enjoyed the competition, however, not agree with the result. USFS has again used the international result to push Ashley for Gold medal. I was glad that it did not happen with the men's. I was holding my breath for Max Aaron and Ross Miner, was afraid that they would give Gold medal to Abbott. Luckily, there was justice.
I agree that Gold should have won, but to be fair, Gold had a disastrous short program with a fall and a single axel putting her 13 points behind. Wagner had a bad free with two falls and a two-foot and no 2A-3T. Had Gold landed her double axel in her SP, she would have won. So I'm not too outraged by the result.
For people who don't think Ashley is insanely overscored, take a look at Yuna at 2009 Skate America
She had 3 clean triples, 3 clean 2As, and guess what, she got 111.7 for that performance. And back then, GOE actually got you a lot more points.
Wagner got 10 points more than freaking Yuna Kim and some people pretend to understand the score is appropriate? Seriously?
And Gracie got 20 more points. And Mirai only got 2 fewer points. What's the point of comparing one competition from 3 years ago to this nationals? Why don't you look at the protocols of THIS event and decide what you disagree with in particular. Sorry to break it to you but everyone was overscored in the LP by a good 5-10 points.
Well, you are probably right about all that.
My problem is that I am cursed with a long memory. In the 1940s (OK, I can't remember quite that far back , Sonia Henie was one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. She couldn't act worth a lick, but she was a champion figure skater! When she died she left an estate of $50,000,000 ($475 million dollars in today's money, adjusted for inflation). Well. maybe Yu-na Kim will fare as well before she is through.
In in the 1970s Janet Lynn, the 1972 Olympic and Worlds bronze medalist, was the highest paid female athlete in the world (all sports), with a 1.5 million dollar contract with Ice Follies (7.5 million in today's dollars.) Later in the decade every little girl in America wanted a Dorothy Hamill haircut and a Dorothy Hamill doll.
In the 1990s the Champions on Ice tour had up to 80 stops. Today, zero.
When Ottavio Cinquanta took office in in 1994 he negotiated a $20,000,000 contract for U.S. television rights and raised enough money that, for the first time in history, the ISU could actually pay prize money to skaters at major events. Now, basically zip from U.S. television.
In 2002, under pressure from the IOC, Cinquanta rushed the CoP into service. By a questionable interpretation of the ISU Constitution, he decreed that the CoP proposal would be voted on by both the figure skating delegates to the ISU Congress and the speed skating delegates (Cinquanta was a speed skater himself). Even though the rules changes affected only figure skating, Cinquanta knew that the figure skating acting alone side would not vote for it. Cinquanta's rationale was that the money generated by figure skating also pays the speed skating bills, so speed skaters ought to have a say in it. (A little irony there, considering how it all turned out. )
So now we tell prospective audiences and sponsors, if you don't like our Kool-aid read more protocols.
My sorrow is that figure skating, in the U.S. at least, has become an irrelevancy on the sports and entertainment scene. This is not the fault of the scoring system (it's not anybody's fault, IMHO -- society's tastes in entertainment changes over the years). But I do think that the scoring system is a hindrance to future growth in popularity.
The way it is now, almost the entire burden of support for figure skating (it is an expensive sport!) is born by beleaguered parents and local skating clubs. I wish USFS could have inherited some of Henie' $475 million to defray some of the present costs.
Having watched the programs for a second time, I still would have Gold above Wagner. Nagasu's FS was worse than I originally thought. Feel bad for her, but it is what it is. Hicks was as difficult to watch the second time as she was the first time.

And gracie was clean, so?
The point is this, even Yuna Kim's PCS took a big hit when she was a mess. Wagner's PCS actually improved by 3 points. What's the point? That's the point.
Sorry to break it to you, but if you are overscored by 5 points, and someone else is overscored by 10 points, that will make a difference. Do you understand that? Should I break it down further?

An inebriated female seduced by a desperate intoxicated male after a night of heavy drinking and letdowns at prior engagaments during the evening by the use of a McDonald's breakfast sandwich within the confines of the restaurant between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 am. The McMiracle can be easily spotted swaying in her spot in line and gabbing with her equally unattractive counterpart. She generally is mildly overweight, wearing an excessive amount of makeup, has smeared mascara, a slagging down bra strap, and possibly a broken stilleto heel. She is low on self esteem and prime for a greasy meal and several hours of cuddling after her complimentary sandwich. Although the McMiracle is no trophy, she is a worthy consolation prize during a morning which likely includes pounding headaches, vomiting, and regret.

I love the ring I would have given it a full five stars if it wasn't for the customer service. the ring is great its beautiful. defiantly smaller than the picture but beautiful. My fiancee proposed to me on Dec. 21st with this ring. only to find out later they only sent him one ring. when he tried to contact someone to talk about it and get it fixed he had to argue for 2 hours with this lady cause she insisted it was only supposed to be one ring it clearly shows and states its a ring bridal ring SET. after 2 hours of this the lady finally figured it out and shipped out the wedding band. it got here a day later. he also purchased the warranty in case something happened and it didn't fit. the ring was to big so we had to send it back to be resized and that was a headache as well to get that done. its kinda like dealing with a cable company like their customer service people are monkeys reading from a script. they did finally get us the right size ring. and I love it but I won't order from these people again.

Perfect Fit! I bought this ring for my fiance and she positively loves it! She talked about it for hours and hours continuously thanking me. Even now, weeks later, I catch her staring at it from time to time. The ring is very delicate-looking and stunningly beautiful. It shines dazzlingly in the light. It is a rather small ring, nothing too showy, but it is a perfect ring - and just what she wanted. If you are even considering this ring - buy it! You will not be disappointed!

Questions & Answers
I had seen this product at another store, and I really liked it, and wanted to order it to propose to my Girlfriend, we are already planning on getting married so I know what the answer will be. I typed in the exact details and you had the exact same ring for 250$ less than the one I was going to buy at Zales. No differences at all. I even got to get expedited shipping without there being any problems.
Is there a matching men's wedding band? I would like something about the same size as these two rings put together.
Hi Lyn, currently we do not have a matching men's braided band. The closest in design I found is item #13841849. I am also including a link to our men's white gold wedding bands for you. Thanks for shopping with us!

How thickly covered is this ring with rhodium, white gold needs to be re plated with it after a couple months or it will start to yellow and show wear, and while the cost of re plating it isnt much, I dont want to have to spend another 200$ on a new coat of rhodium only a month or two after I've bought the ring. And what alloys were used in the making of the ring? is there any Nickel in it?
Hi Tasha, after reviewing with our support staff, we found that the plating is 1 micron, which is more than what is commonly used. White rhodium makes the metal more white so the rings will not turn yellow. How long the rhodium will last depends on the wear and tear of the user. Also, there is no nickel used in the alloy of this ring. I hope this helps, thank you for shopping with us!

It worked for me with my old X600 card. But that was almost a year ago...
Oh, I see. Not exactly the same problem then.
there are several supgroups to this problem. For some it freezes on logout, for some on starting xinit (which is involved in user switching)
Yes, of course. They are definitely related. I just meant that it was not exactly the same problem as I have, and that is why that solution doesn't work for me.
If I start another VT and try to unload the fglrx module, I get a fatal error because the module is in use in my other session.
Update: fglrx 9.04 still has the same problem. The only change to my system is that I have installed Kubuntu Jaunty instead of Intrepid.
Next time I'll buy an Nvidia...

Winter Traction for Luxury Touring Vehicles. H-rated MICHELIN® Primacy® Alpin® PA3™ tires help deliver a smooth touring ride with efficient wet braking and controlled maneuvers in wintery conditions.
Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ tires offer a 10% gain in acceleration and handling characteristics in snow as a result of more sipe edges biting into snow and ice from 3-D StabiliGrip Technology™ with its bidirectional auto blocking and variable geometry sipes.Increased traction at low temperatures for improved braking and handling in the wet and better overall performance in the snow, all the result of the revolutionary Helio CompoundTM, with sunflower oil. The PrimacyTM Alpin® PA3TM tire stop 5.6 feet shorter than its predecessor on wetBuilding on the fuel efficiencies of its predecessor, the Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ tire uses even less fuel thanks to a rolling resistance that has been reduced by 7%.
These tires slip a lot in snow, granted because it's a 09 C300 Benz 'rear wheel' drive, probably be better on a 4matic or fr drive vehicle. On 4th winter, lots of tread bite left.

Anonymous made this review on 1/5/2014 and is a Cautious, Reserved Driver
225/55/17 I tried them in a deep snow- drives like a summer time (I'm serious). Good grip on ice. Low noise - probably the best one out there among winter tires. Puts the handling on a soft side (you may hate it at the beginning). However, I don't really care as it's the least of my worries winter time. A little on the expensive side, but worth every penny.

I had Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 last winter and I changed for this Micheline Primacy Alpin PA3 this winter to improve performance on my car, but I'm desapointed. This PA3 are for winter with not so much snow, as Europe, but here in Quebec the traction, I mean, adherance is very bad, if I make comparations with my laste Bridgestone.

Google Music's source code includes a few references to some new features. There's a Music Labs page that will probably include new ways to organize and visualize your songs. "Google Play music player labs is a testing ground for experimental features that aren't quite ready for primetime. They may change, break, or disappear at any time." For now, this section is empty.
Right now, you can only upload songs using the Music Manager software, but that may change in the future. There's a new page for uploading music.
Another new section called "history" could show a list of songs you've recently played.
Google Music could also add a roulette view and some charts for visualizing how often you play certain songs.
{ Thanks, Florian K. }

Rated 5 out of 5 by Souffle Love this Bootie
I am usually 5 or 5.5 on heels. I purchased 6.5(in brown) after reading the review and I realized 6 would have been too small. 6.5 is just perfect. I do agree from previous reviews that it is a bit more challenging to put-on and take-off these bootie but once you have them they are the most comfortable pair of bootie I have even owned.
Highly recommend these booties.

These booties are fantastic! Exactly what I hoped for. After reading the other reviews I decided to get a whole size bigger than normal (I'm a 7.5 or 8 and got an 8.5). I have no issues putting the bootie on...they may be a bit big but not to the point where I'll blister. Love love love!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Laughter10 Great boots! Fashionable and very comfortable!
I love these boots! I was a bit worried that they wouldn't be comfortable to walk in and I was wrong. I spent the day walking and shopping in these and not once was I uncomfortable. I'm convinced the 3" heel is the right size for comfort factor for all of TB Shoes. Now that they are on sale, they are sure to go fast.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Hillary torn between 3 star and 4 star
these shoes do run small and are very hard to put on. but I like the way they look so much, after buying a pair of size 6 in black, i exchanged them for 6.5 in coconut (black was sold out).
for a bootie of this height, it is really comfortable
however, for some reason, the leather of the coconut color isnt the same as that of black, it has this kind of dark spots on it.
I'm keeping them because I really like the design

Really love the styling. Agree with previous reviews that they are not easy to slip on but I don't think thats a deal breaker. I find the instep high and so not sure they are comfortable enough to keep. On the fence about return but think they look great.

Quarrier Corner: Student artist to be honored for conservation piece
The visual arts department would like to invite everyone to attend the Dell Rapids High School Humanities Awards night this coming Monday.The DRHS Evening of the Arts will recognize those great students for their achievements in music, theater, visual arts and journalism. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. in the middle school gym and will feature a selection of music, an art show and an ice cream social hosted by the DRHS Art Club students. Please come out and enjoy the achievements of our fine students.Special recognition in visual arts this year is junior Brittnay Welbig, who took a first place ribbon in the South Dakota Junior Duck Stamp Program Conservation and Design Contest competition. The students were asked to write a conservation message explaining what they have learned about wetland conservation and the importance of conserving habitat for wildlife, or why conservation is important to them, and to create a design as their entry. Welbig's acrylic painting was a green wing teal and her statement was "Preserving, Conserving for today and tomorrow." She competed with nearly 700 students across the state and was awarded the highest honor for her entry. Welbig is a student in my Art III and portfolio class.

That is the most retarded thing I have heard lately.

Well I can't see the picture that well. Is that a Winchester Model 78? If so that has a bolt action I think. Also there is no clip in the picture. The standard magazine clip for those rifles is generally 10. The current idea is to ban clips of over 10 rounds so I don't think that would be in any trouble as long as you don't purchase a clip of over 10 rounds for it. I also don't think it can run off three shot bursts.
Also generally speaking, aren't rifles that use a Remington .308 cartridge usually considered to be more of a sniper rifle than an assault rifle?
Right now there isn't a better plan that is doable and has wide support. I think must of us would like to see a ban or severe regulatory tightening on certain type of handguns as well. But that isn't going to happen because handguns are also the most popular gun for self defense.
The plan that has been put in place is not a magic bullet (no pun intended), but it is common sense things that put us in a better direction even if it is far away from being significant enough.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 10:57 AM
huh, i have never seen a number approaching that, i havent seen any 2012 numbers yet didnt know they were available
Posted 22 February 2013 - 02:11 PM
No bolt action. Semi Auto rifle, just like the AR-15's that are available to the public.
No AR's nor any other rifle available to the public has the capability of having "three round bursts" as you put it.
A .308 is a very popular hunting rifle cartridge, and yes it was used as a main bore size for most snipers for many many years.
Bolded is where I have you ask you what the fug you are talking about....AR-15's are not assault rifles, nor is there a general ammo size for sniper/assault rifles.
Again I will ask you, what do you think is the big difference in these weapons, and where will you draw the line on what is legal and not legal to own?
Posted 22 February 2013 - 02:37 PM
Look. I am not a gun aficionado, I admit that. I have a couple guns that are family heirlooms, and I know how to use them. I don't read Gun & Ammo magazine. This is not a picture of me (as far as you know):
But despite that, as far as I can tell, the only reason an AR-15 is not technically an "assault rifle" is because it doesn't have selective fire. It shares all of the other characteristics of an assault rifle.
But I understand your point, and the term "assault rifle" maybe not the best phrase for these type of weapons. Some people refers to them as "military style weaponry" or use the US legal definition of "assault weapons" which has a different meaning than "assault rifle". But at this point you are arguing semantics when you know what people mean when they say "assault rifle".
Also I believe fully automatic rifles are currently legal, and some automatic rifles have what I think is referred to as "burst fire" which allow maximum bursts of rounds which is usually set at 3.
I am not the one drawing lines on this. If it were up to me, I would ban any semi-automatic rifle. They may be preferable to a bolt action, lever, etc. for hunting, but they are also not necessary for hunting. If that includes your rifle, than I am sorry.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 03:06 PM
The point of all of this, is just to point out that this is not about saving lives, it's about grabbing guns from everyone. The "left" have been eyeing this for a long time, many would love for us to not have any guns at all, but don't know where to start.
The problem with the "assault weapons" is that it's just the start, next is semi auto, then pumps, then bolt actions, then single shots. It will not stop.
And no, for almost the entire population automatic rifles are illegal.
Also, the only real difference in these two weapons is the looks. I guess folks think that pistol grips and black finishes are extremely dangerous, and turn regular guns into weapons of mass destruction.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 03:26 PM
Posted 22 February 2013 - 03:28 PM
Automatic guns are not illegal in the US. There might be bans at the state levels, but they are not illegal by federal statute.
And if I understand what you are saying, you are making the argument that out of fear that there is a slippery slope of further gun control sometime in the future we should just do nothing.
Let me ask you this question, how did that slippery slope work out with the ban on certain assault weapons in the 90's?? Have you lost more guns since that ban? Has the government come after pumps or bolt actions since that happened nearly 20 years ago?
The "slippery slope" argument is and always has been, by and large, a complete bullshit fear mongering tactic. Not just in the gun argument, but in most all debates where people warn of the "slippery slopes". Kinda of like the "slippery slope" of gay marriage leading to an epidemic of bestiality and incest.
It is an argument designed to conjure up fear of an unknown.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 03:54 PM
P.S. Do you think this is OK? Or normal?
Posted 22 February 2013 - 03:58 PM
I think that is something that has been procedure for a while. It is for veterans that have been deemed mentally or physically deficient.
You shouldn't get so worked up over chain emails and/or news organizations that are less than honest.
I am not sure which this originated from but I am sure it is one or the other.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 04:21 PM
I interpreted that as: Look over there....nothing to see here.....move along.

Markets :: Alternative Fuels :: Biodiesel EU Biodiesel Industry Seeks Antidumping Duties on Imports from Argentina, Indonesia12:09 PM MDT | August 31, 2012 | Ian Young The European biodiesel industry has lodged a formal complaint with the European Commission against alleged dumping of biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia in European Union (EU) markets. The European Biodiesel Board (EBB; Brussels), an industry association, made the complaint on behalf of EU producers and says it is seeking EU antidumping duties, and possibly antisubsidy measures, against biodiesel imported from Argentina and Indonesia. EBB says that EU imports of biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia have risen sharply since 2008, undercutting prices charged... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers.

Tales of Elastic Boy: Mission 1 Review
So, anyone remember Mister Slime? It was an innovative little platformer project that came to the DS two years ago and generated a bit of a buzz. Craig was a bit underwhelmed with the final product, giving it just an average score and wishing its main mechanic hadn't felt so tedious, even though it was inventive. Ring a bell for you? Well, surprise, Mister Slime is back — and this re-branded WiiWare sequel manages to address some of the concerns that brought down opinions of his DS debut back in 2008.
Tales of Elastic Boy is the series' new title, as developer Lexis Numerique starts fresh with the same gameplay idea, same characters and same world, but moves the whole production up to the big screen and swaps in Wii Remote motion control for the old stylus tapping. The concept is centered on stickiness — your slime character can extend his four stretchy grabbing arms to stick himself to floating pegs, moving one by one across them by reaching out for those ahead while continuously detaching himself from those behind.
It's the same idea that we saw with in the DS original, but it's made a lot more fluid here. Mister Slime on the DS demanded slow, methodical work managing each of your slime's arms, tapping them one at a time with the stylus to detach them and dragging them back out of his central body to grab toward the next peg in sequence. It became tedious work, and was ultimately one of the main things that made Craig dislike the game overall.
That same action, though, is now streamlined in this WiiWare sequel. Instead of individually dealing with each of the slime's arms and making slow, tedious progress, you can just use the Wii Remote's pointer functionality to point and highlight the next peg you want to move to. Your slime will react automatically, detaching his own trailing limbs and quickly swinging forward. It's like you just paint the path you want him to take with the cursor now, and he'll speedily follow your instructions.
It's a great boost to the overall feel and fun factor, as it feels like the game now gets to be a game instead of just an extended exercise in character management. The improvements aren't absolute, as you'll sometimes still have to point and detach specific arms to get your slime to go the way you want him to, particularly at the end of a long sequence of pegs when there's no longer a next peg to grab on to. But it is much more playable now, and the fun can now come through.
I'm also a fan of the connections the developer included to the first game's plot, as though Mister Slime didn't gather an enormous audience there will still be those (like me) that recognize this as the sequel it is. The Mister Slime hero from the DS game is the old, wise sage of the village of slimes now, and he's the one who teaches you how to roll, stick to pegs and attack enemies in the game's first level.
This download is just "Mission 1″ of Tales of Elastic Boy, implying that we've got at least one more adventure on the way that can improve even further on the foundation found here — but it also means there isn't a ton of content here for your investment of six bucks. You'll be left wanting more single-player levels to explore, though you can go back through cleared stages again with unlocked characters and try to improve your item collection score. And there are some multiplayer options too, if you've got another human there who'd like to get slimy alongside you. That's enough to earn an overall thumbs-up from me.
Closing Comments
I'm happy to see that the Mister Slime concept has been given a second chance, and happier still that several of the issues that plagued its DS debut have been addressed in this WiiWare follow-up. It also fits the format, working well with the Wii Remote and big screen — and I prefer this design to WiiWare's nearest competitor, Furry Legends, which wasn't quite as fun, controlled more poorly and cost four more bucks to buy. So give Tales of Elastic Boy a try, and open your arms to a stretchy slime one more time.

yes, not sure what is causing this
it could be issues with QT, gtk+, or the apps - or the kernel
the cflags of the system aren't even heavy:
"-O2 -march=native -pipe -mno-push-args -mno-align-stringops -minline-stringops-dynamically -fmodulo-sched"
afaik in the past this didn't occur so it could be a regression introduced some kernel versions before, glibc, etc. etc.
no time to troubleshoot right now though ...

Aris Allen Men's 1950s Black and White Wingtip Dance Shoe
These are great dance shoes because of the slideable sole and heel, and the comfort you need in a shoe that's going to be on the hardwood all night.
This style is an exact copy of a mid-century dress shoe. As such, it does not have the usual ultra-flexible Aris Allen dance sole. It was developed in response to the many swing dancers who requested dance shoes with thicker soles. The sole has the same thickness you'll find on ordinary dress shoes which means there will be a break-in period before they feel ultra-comfy.
We find that these run true to size. So order your usual men's dress shoe size or a half size larger than normal.
Because it is constructed in the "Balmoral" style (which means it is sewn across at the bottom of the laces) this style works well with narrow and average widths and does not work as well with wide widths.
Most men know which two sizes they fit best (like 10.5 & 11 or 9 & 9.5). To figure out which size you'll fit in these:
About "Balmoral" construction and how it relates to fit: These are traditional wingtips so they are constructed in the Balmoral style with stitching across the ball of the foot (at the bottom of the laces) and cannot be loosened or tightened at that point the way a shoe constructed in the "Blucher" style can (Blucher means it is not sewn across the bottom of the laces). So these are not a good style for anyone with very wide or narrow feet. Our Captoes do not have this construction and so are better suited for a wider variety of foot widths.

Are the Firefox developers raising bugs for the graphics drivers in bugzilla?
can somebody explain where exactly the problem is here???
i mean we have gl games and stuff that work
Are the Firefox developers raising bugs for the graphics drivers in bugzilla?
This is depressing, I was really looking forward to GPU acceleration in Firefox 4.
Now I'm starting to think the unthinkable, switching back to windows.
Take all of the following with a grain of salt because I'm just coming up to speed on it myself, but...
The only part of that discussion I have problems with is "Heck, were even disabling WebGL for most Linux drivers, last I checked ". The statement implies that WebGL is a relatively easy thing to support, and if *that* has problems then everything *else* must be worse.
I believe the reality is quite different. WebGL is relatively new, and its implementation seems to differ significantly between browser implementations. Some (Chromium for example) can run WebGL over regular GL, while most of the others require a GL ES implementation because they pass the WebGL validation work down to the graphics driver and WebGL basically corresponds with GL ES (2.0, I think) rather than GL.
GL ES implementations are relatively new on the proprietary drivers, and are still a work in process on most of the open source drivers. There is considerable work being done, but GL ES and particularly co-existence of GL and GL ES APIs is probably the closest thing to "bleeding edge" in the entire open source stack.
So... bottom line is that there probably are challenges running WebGL on many of the drivers today as a consequence of the relative newness and volatility of the GL ES implementation, but it's also an area where work is being done and interest is growing. The discussion following that post seems to suggest that Chromium/Chrome still has an advantage for running WebGL because of its ability to run over a GL stack rather than relying on a "tight and robust" GL ES implementation to perform the WebGL validation work.
Stupid one minute edit limit
I'm sure the developers are seeing other issues as well, but those are going to be more in the "both sides gotta agree on a core set of driver functionality to use, upper layers should use that functionality, and devs will make sure it works" department. I don't know if bugs are being filed against the drivers as problems are seen during browser development, but that would obviously help as well.
wasn't there a opengl es state tracker for Gallium implemented some time ago???
and doesn't that means (if yes to the above) that all drivers using g3d can run webgl???
Yes, as a build option for Mesa. It is still undergoing fairly major changes, however, in order to allow simultaneous support for GL and GL ES APIs (if I understand it correctly).
Once the implementation has been tested and fixed as necessary on each hardware platform, and the both sides of the API have been tweaked as necessary to "follow the rules", yes. It's just that this is one of the newest and least used areas of the open source graphics stack.
It seems like most people in this thread are running Windows or MacOS.
Have you ever bothered peeping into freedesktop's bugzilla and counting bugs filed against X.org server, MesaGL and other components? Literally there are hundreds if not thousands of bug reports and most of them have next to zero activity.
E.g. you still cannot run both recent Unigine demos on Intel drivers. Also it's worth noting that Intel drivers have abysmal OpenGL performance in many games (up to ten times slower than in Windows).
Or take for instance this core X.org bug. It's absurd thinking that any Windows or MacOS release could have been made available with such a bug. Even though X.org project lacks manpower I fail to see why such critical bug reports don't have the utmost attention.
X.org project and open source X.org video drivers severely lack manpower. Alas, I don't see it changing in the foreseeable future.
Well, I hope I will be able to force hardware acceleration on my nvidia blob if not I will be not pleased xD

hi all,
i have a little problem with my new laptop
it is an acer 5935G, with two different graphic card
- one is an integrated intel gpu (actually working)
- the other is a nvidia GF GT 130M
someone knows how to set up xorg.conf to have nvidia gpu correctly working?
thanks to anyone can help me
yes, in this way it works
in new bios there is a "graphic" option, you only have to set it to "discrete" (or something else similar)
i didn't find any option in bios. My bios is v1.08 , do you have a newer one ?
yes, i took version 1.11 from acer support site
(unfortunately it installs only under windows...)
You might want to check if Flashrom supports your machine
my mic works out of the box, maybe you just have to update your kernel or your alsa module
