It was a year of turnover for women's tennis as Stacey Allaster took over the WTA helm from Larry Scott, the No. 1 ranking got passed around like a relay baton and two former stars changed their minds about retirement. Some of the thrills and spills are detailed below.
Player of the Year
Serena Williams
This was a murky category in 2008. Not so this year. The younger Williams sister won her 10th and 11th Grand Slam events in Australia and at Wimbledon along with the WTA's season-ending championship, and finished as the year-end No. 1 for only the second time in her career. Williams also gave women's tennis its most dramatically distasteful moment when, on the brink of being eliminated by Kim Clijsters in the U.S. Open semifinal, Williams lost control after a dubious foot-fault call, advanced on the line judge and unleashed a profane tirade. With several highs and one major low, Williams' 2009 season makes it look as if she has no lack of leading-lady turns left in her.
Match of the Year
Kim Clijsters (BEL) def. Serena Williams (USA), 6-4, 7-5, U.S. Open semifinal
Years from now, what other match will anyone remember from 2009? Despite its bizarre ending, with Williams forfeiting match point because of her behavior, this meeting between two worthy adversaries was a triumphant milestone for Clijsters. It confirmed that the Belgian star -- who would go on to win the Open championship -- was back for real, capable of rising to the most meaningful occasions with a stronger, more straightforward game than before.
Most Improved Player
Samantha Stosur (AUS)
Stosur's long fight to come back from illness and injury finally paid off this season as she rose from No. 52 at the end of 2008 to her current career-high perch at No. 13. The French Open semifinalist played capably on all surfaces and won her first-ever WTA singles title late in the year at Osaka. Stosur also played a full schedule in doubles, reaching the Wimbledon final and qualifying for the year-end championships with partner Rennae Stubbs.
Iron woman
Caroline Wozniacki (DEN)
The 19-year-old has played 169 matches in the past two seasons, the heaviest workload of any top player. After some -- including yours truly -- questioned whether she was running out of gas in the second half of 2009, Wozniacki promptly defended her title in New Haven and advanced to her first Grand Slam final in New York. Hopefully there will be no repeats of her odd, ill-advised retirement in Luxembourg, where a hamstring strain prompted her to hand victory to an opponent she was trouncing.
Most Improved American
Melanie Oudin
The pint-sized counterpuncher burst into mass consciousness by defeating Jelena Jankovic en route to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon as a qualifier; then she single-handedly mowed down three top Russians at the U.S. Open, coming from behind in every match, then dealt with difficult questions about her parents' divorce. This will be a critical year for the 18-year-old Georgia native, who also made herself available for Fed Cup duty and is one of the young players U.S. captain Mary Joe Fernandez hopes to build around.
Young Player to Watch
Sloane Stephens (U.S.)
This 16-year-old's potential is so obvious that she spurred a bidding war among management agencies when she decided to turn pro this fall. She also showed tremendous maturity in her dealings with the media after the death of her father, with whom she had only recently connected, during the U.S. Open. Her transition year should be interesting.
Biggest Upset
Kimiko Date Krumm (JAP) def. Anabel Medina Garrigues (ESP), 6-3, 6-3, Seoul final
Yes, this may be a relatively obscure late-season match between two players unknown to casual fans, but it's worth recognizing, not for the score, but for the winner. Krumm, 39, married to a German racing driver, had been out of competitive tennis since 1997 before coming back last year, primarily at the urging of her husband. Krumm predictably treaded water in WTA matches for many months before making her run in Seoul, defeating three top-50 players on the way, and ended 2009 ranked No. 71.
One is the loneliest number
Has there ever been a rougher year for former No. 1 players? Dinara Safina and Ana Ivanovic, linked in mutual misery, actually had very different seasons. Safina lost two more Grand Slam finals to make her 0-for-3, and the loss in Paris to Svetlana Kuznetsova may have hurt more than being routed by Serena Williams in Australia. Yet Safina had decent results elsewhere, winning three events, reaching three other non-Slam finals and advancing to the Wimbledon semis before the wheels came off the wagon late in the season. Ivanovic changed coaches, fought injuries and her own confidence and wasn't able to win back-to-back matches in the second half of the season, becoming so obviously unmoored that she elected to shut down in early October. Jelena Jankovic had a zigzagging year, with disappointing results in Slams, while Maria Sharapova returned to the circuit full-time in May and showed encouraging progress in her efforts to return to vintage form.
Debacle of the year
Israel's Shahar Peer was assured she would get a visa to compete in Dubai if she qualified and wished to play in one of the most lucrative events on the WTA calendar, despite the fact that the country normally does not admit Israeli citizens. But organizers pulled a bait-and-switch on the WTA, waiting until the eve of the event to deny Peer the right to cross the border. Peer's fellow players mounted no formal protest, but international outcry was intense. WTA officials fined the tournament heavily and exacted a pledge that it wouldn't happen again. Although the fallout from the Peer affair probably helped the ATP force Dubai to admit Israeli doubles player Andy Ram the following week, the entire incident exposed flaws in the contention that the sport is about building bridges as well as bank balances.
Strongest start
Victoria Azarenka of Belarus went 23-2 in her first five tournaments, winning titles in Brisbane, Memphis and Miami.
Biggest 180
Justine Henin announced she would jump back on the WTA carousel in September, less than four months after declaring no-way in a cameo appearance at the French Open. It seems the seeds for her reversal actually were sown on the red clay, as Henin said Roger Federer's breakthrough victory there -- not Belgian compatriot Clijsters' comeback later in the season -- provided the impetus for her to reconsider her brief retirement.
Dubious distinctions
Three talented women who made headlines for the wrong reasons: Portugal's Michelle Larcher de Brito, whose amplified shrieking at the French Open was a horror movie soundtrack for her opponents; Russia's Vera Zvonareva, whose attempts to rein in her volatility unraveled as she wept with frustration and feverishly unwound the tape on her leg between points during a U.S. Open match; Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer, whose rise has been interrupted by her failure to meet anti-doping paperwork standards. A few New Year's resolutions might be in order here.
Parting Words
"My only regret is that I was not successful in persuading tennis that now was the time for a [WTA-ATP] merger, to go forward and do it.'' -- former WTA chairman and chief executive Larry Scott, who left to become the commissioner of the Pacific-10 Conference last spring.
"If I were able to enter the court, play and shine, of course I could continue, but to achieve this, you need to put in such hard work. And I'm not capable of that. I dreamt of this career, I dreamt of winning a Grand Slam title. I lifted trophies in every city in the world and I lived 10 magical and unbelievable years.'' -- Amelie Mauresmo, at her retirement news conference.

This is also known as the parental tantrum. It is never an effective tactic in enforcing your expectations, except to the degree that is scares your child into immediate compliance. When we do this in adult relationships, it erodes the relationship. When we do it with our kids, it also erodes the relationship--so kids act out even more. It also scares the child, so it adds an overlay of tangled-up feelings that the child will then end up "acting out" by misbehaving. If screaming worked, we would not have to repeat it. Screaming is a symptom that you've slipped onto the low road of parenting, into fight or flight, and you're seeing your child as the enemy. Our child is never the enemy, no matter how ugly he's acting. He's a very young human with an immature brain who is signalling that he needs our help.
It was that "parental tantrum" that caught my eye. It really resonated with me. Will I stop screaming? I think it will take awhile, but I also think that quote will really help. Hope it helps someone else too.
Loving mama to A (8/5/2010) R (1/3/2015) and DSD (16).
I love it when I have parent a ha moments........
Thanks for posting the quote.
Yes, thank you! Screaming is definately the issue that I need to work on the most.

Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end - Paolo Coelho
I do a lot of "raising my voice" or using "the daddy voice" as we used to call it when I was little. Where the parent has to alter their voice just to get the child's attention. My 4 year old son uses selective hearing- in other words he tunes my voice out as if he does not hear me or my instructions at all-lol. Did they have any suggestions? My husband told me to bend down and get in his face so he has to see and hear me, but when I tried that he refused to look at me. They must think if they don't hear you they don't have to do what you say. I tell him I will put him in time out for not listening- but it does not seem to help much. Time out bothered him more when he was smaller. I haven't tried taking away toys yet.
My 4yo son does the same thing with ignoring me, so does my 7 yo! I can say "Please put away your backpack" and get nothing...then if I raise my voice, and say "Hey - I told you to put away your backpack!" he starts with the temper tantrum.
Instead, what I do is stop myself after the first ignore, go up to him and make physical contact (gently, of course) while smiling patiently and explain what we need to do and why. I smile, take him by the hand, and say something like:
"Honey, remember we still need to put away your backpack...we can't leave it on the floor, silly, or Daddy will trip on it when he gets home!"
The key for getting my kids to listen and comply is that they don't feel threatened into it by an authority figure, and instead feel like you're addressing them person-to-person. I have my moments of "parental tantrums", and I've been trying REALLY hard to be more patient and gentle...I've found that with consistency on my part, they respond much better and the ignoring has gotten less frequent.
In our house, time-outs are reserved for instances of kicking-screaming melt-downs or physically hurting someone, and other misbehavior we try to address with more of a love & logic style, natural consequences, etc. Overuse of time-out seems to backfire for us, so does taking away toys, that never seems to work! LOL
To the OP: Thanks for posting this, I will share with DH - it would be a great way to help him understand!
Mostly WAH mama with DS1, 9yo DS2, 6yo DD1, 4yoDD2, 9mos & my awesome DH And surprise - another bun in the oven!
just had a parent tantrum today.
It was a a little while a didn't have one.
I really felt bad.
the amazing thing is how fast my son forgives me when I say I am sorry....I should learn from him!
I guess parent tantrum are unavoidable. we are human, and it will happen.
as long as it doesn't happen too often, and we ask forgiveness, then we just model what is normal human behavior when we ''loose it''.
screaming shouldn't be a discipline tool. (because it is not!).
it is just a pressure release thing that we use less as we mature, because we can handle more and more pressure. But there is always a pressure limit.
kids scream more often, they need more frequent pressure release. they have lower pressure release limit. they have less control in their lives.
Oooh that's a great quote - thank you! (And for passing on the knowledge about this other newsletter...sounds just like what I need right now!)
I think there's a difference between speaking in a "I mean business" tone and freaking out and starting to yell. I think it is okay to say firmly "Logan, you need to put away your backpack so nobody trips over it", or whatever, and that is different than yelling. I definitely get the "parental tantrum" thing. When I yell it is not about my daughter. She is just being a kid. It is about me. I don't do it much, but I have a lot of residual anger from childhood that I am trying to learn.

About Me
I am a twin. The twin and I are last of five children. Four girls and one boy. My family, the Oradu clan, is in Kenya while I have spend the last 10 years in the US, going to college, graduate school and now work. I came to the US through an academic excellence scholarship started by a Kenyan Woman, Dr Susan Mboya-Kidero, to educate and train the next generation of African Women Leaders. The scholarship name is Zawadi Africa Educational Fund. I attended Xavier University for my Bachelors degree in Chemistry in 2007. I recently in 2012 received a PhD degree in Analytical Chemistry from Purdue University-a journey that started with my love for Chemistry when I was in high school. I write poetry(published a book while in graduate school titled: Needles from Heaven) and love to mentor young women, books, performance arts/Broadway musicals, meeting people from difference cultures, and I enjoy nature.

Corpus Christi pair's indictment details more than 100 unreported transactions nearly $10,000 each
CORPUS CHRISTI - A recently released indictment of a Corpus Christi couple who was arrested last week details more than 100 financial transactions just shy of $10,000 each.
Kimberly Davis, 27, and Justin Colmenero, 30, were indicted May 22 on three counts of structuring financial transactions from Sept. 13, 2011, to Oct. 25.
The indictment accused Davis and Colmenero of structuring more than $100,000 in cash deposit transactions during a 12-month period to avoid the bank's reporting requirements.
The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 requires financial institutions to file reports with the Treasury Department of cash transactions exceeding $10,000, according to a U.S. attorney's office news release.
Most of the deposits are about $9,900, according to the indictment and some are $20 shy of $10,000.
Agents also executed federal search warrants at Davis and Colmenero's Corpus Christi businesses and residences.
According to online records, Davis owns Nice Guys Auto, 5757 Everhart Road, and Mr. Nice Guys, 3523 Lawnview Road. The two own property in the 4100 block of Ocean Drive, the 7600 block of King's Lake Circle, and the 3900 block of Kettlesing Court.
The pair was arrested Wednesday and made their first court appearance Thursday. Each was later released on $2,000 bond.
If found guilty, Davis and Colmenero each face up to 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

I recently bought the Sonor Bop kit w/ an 18" bass drum. I read up on bass drum lifts and bought both this Mapex AC909 and the Dixson lift. This one imho is far superior to the Dixson. It is much more adjustable, it clamps on and stays on (rather than the kick drum just resting on it), and it's $23 cheaper. It is made of metal, where the Dixson is plastic, and frankly I'd be afraid of dropping and breaking it (the Dizson) in the midst of setting up or tearing down.

34 year old woman | Manhattan, NY, USA | Seeking men 28-44 within 10 miles

Am I the only person on this site not training for a marathon?
From the variety of cuisines, cultural events, people watching, parks, and museums at our fingertips, NYC is the perfect stomping ground for me. I maintain a close connection to family, and am fortunate to be surrounded by friends from different stages of my life. These friends will likely say that I am silly, dependable, thoughtful, and the first to laugh at my own expense. I'm independent, but would welcome a co-pilot who is equally curious about the world. My travels are not motivated by a checklist, but rather the experiences of the new, different, and unfamiliar: the food of Japan, scenery of Iceland, tropical climate of Sri Lanka, challenge of hiking Nepal's mountains, history of the Balkans, etc. This exposure continues to give me faith that humankind is good, despite the tragedy that regularly headlines the news. Top spots on my bucket list include Yosemite and Glacier NP, Alaska, New Zealand, and South Africa. I also have a "50 by 50" goal to better appreciate the diversity of the U.S., with about 15 to go…. Nebraska anyone? I like guys with integrity, wit, a good mind, and compassion for others. Someone who has well-founded opinions, but is open to those of others.

> # When I mentioned Jeff Rient's [http://jrients.blogspot.com/2008/12/party-like-its-999.html Party like it's 999] table, they really wanted to roll on it. I'll have to produce a carousing table for next session! [http://rolesrules.blogspot.com/2011/01/experience-carousing-inc.html Roger the GS' tables] might be a good starting point.
Today I ran the first session of my new Labyrinth Lord campaign. The game uses the Sea of Five Winds map of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy (Necromancer Games). Our starting village is Oathcoomb. It says that there is a male human lawful evil wizard (alchemist) called Pimple Purbody. One of the missions I had offered to the players was to go and buy glass wares in the Greydowns. Check out the (German) player map for the campaign.
Since Pimple is lawful evil, I tried to play him like a little devil. He tries to trick you into signing contracts that will have you in debt, he tries to lure you into breaking contracts, etc. At first, the players were surprised that negotiations didn't go smoothly. I suspect they felt that the negotiation was part of the prologue, not part of the game itself. I quickly introduced a new character mentioned in the village description, Esgarig the inn keeper. He warned the party of Pimple's deviousness, and offered free dinner and drinks for a table of ten if they managed to thwart the alchemist in some way, or at least fulfill the contract without falling for any of his traps. I think this allowed the players to accept the challenge.
At the Greydowns, the players decided not to show Pimple's introductory letter, figuring that maybe he wasn't too popular. I decided that this saved them 10% of the price…
How much money to award for a simple trip back and forth, some haggling and dealing with the alchemist and the inn keeper, a session of three hours? I decided that 1000 gp was about right. Pimple gave them 1000 gp to buy the glass wares. Upon delivery of 1000 gp of glass wares, they'd get 1000 gp to keep. Since the players managed to get a 10% discount, they ended up with a 1100 gp reward.
If the players were really devious and managed to trick the alchemist on his own terms using forgery and the like, they could double the amount to be earned. If they felt like playing chaotic, they could just steal 1000 gp. If they messed things up, they could end up with a debt of 1000 gp. That seemed like a reasonable range.
I had prepared a thing or two for the forest half way to the destination, but the players decided to take the ship to Longbottle and travel from there, avoiding the forest. No problem, I'm sure there will be other opportunities. I improvised 2d6 (nine) bandits on the way back. They were taken care of by a single sleep spell. Apparently the spell allows no save!
Ok, what did I use at the table?

Please remove the hyphens with in lyric words or put them into all the multisyllabic words. They are unnecessary and confusing when they're scattered about haphazardly.
Copy and paste it to your own computer. Change it to the way you like to use it. So easy isn't it...
Not everyone will know which words are supposed to be hyphenated and which ones aren't. As I said, it's confusing when a few words are arbitrarily hyphenated (e.g., "fa-miliar"). (So easy to correct it.)
The way I do it is also used in 'official' sheet music that is for SALE. It informs you if you have to sing a word long or short and also if there is a chord change in a word. If you use my version and you listen to Roy singing it, then you'll see exactly what I mean. And..., nearly 70,000 people have looked at or used my version on U.G., and apart from you, no one has mentioned it. And..., my work and that of other tabbers on this site, is offered to all users totally FREE!
I'm aware of the normal syllabication in sheet music. I just do not see it being used consistently within this lyric/chord sheet. But I understand your point.
BTW, in the third verse, isn't the last line "Maybe I'd be happier then on Blue Bayou"?
You are right with 'then'. It's hard for me tot hear (I'm Dutch) if Roy sings 'happy' or 'happier', so I searched on Google for the lyrics. I looked at the first 4 results and they all give 'happy'. So I'll just correct 'again' to 'then'. Thanks for your input!

BURNABY, B.C. — A man who was taken to hospital after Burnaby RCMP found him in medical distress on Wednesday morning has died.
The man was transported to hospital by B.C. Ambulance Services after the incident involving a Burnaby RCMP officer on Wednesday and died on Thursday, according to a statement posted by the British Columbia Independent Investigations Office (IIO).
The office quickly took over the investigation into the incident that happened early Wednesday. Just before 6 a.m. on Sept. 18, Burnaby Mounties were called to a residence in the 4200-block of Cambridge Street, north of Hastings Street.
According to investigators, while responding to the call an RCMP officer encountered a man "who appeared to be in some distress."
"He (the man) was placed in the back of a police vehicle. His condition deteriorated and B.C. Ambulance was called," said Owen Court of the Independent Investigations Office.
Cambridge Street between Carleton and Rosser avenues was closed by Burnaby RCMP while investigators combed through the scene and spoke with surrounding residents.
Investigators at the IIO — a civilian body mandated to investigate police-related incidents of death or serious harm — were alerted of the incident at 7:17 a.m.
Early reports on social media suggested the incident had been a shooting, resulting in a death, but the IIO said that was not the case.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, mediaweek.co.uk, Friday, 29 July 2011 10:58AM
As part of the deal, Sky will add three high-definition UKTV channels to the two it already offers. Watch HD and Dave HD are scheduled to launch in October and Alibi HD will go live in 2012.
The deal coincides with BSkyB's results and the announcement that Sky has secured rights to Formula1.
Sky reported 16% growth in full-year revenues to £6.6bn. Pre-tax profits were down 15% to £1.01bn, but adjusted operating profit was up 23%.
UKTV is jointly owned by telecoms and entertainment provider Virgin Media and BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC, and it has the broadcast rights to many classic BBC programmes.
Following what is UKTV's first video-on-demand distribution deal, Sky will have the rights to offer its customers both UKTV and third-party commissions, as well as BBC shows such as 'Fawlty Towers', 'Doctor Who' and 'Planet Earth'.
The new high-definition channels Watch, Dave and Alibi HD will add to the existing UKTV high-definition channels on Sky (Eden HD and Good Food HD) and make UKTV Sky's biggest high-definition partner.
Keith Porritt, executive director of commercial at UKTV, said: "We are thrilled to become Sky's largest partner supplier of HD channels with high-definition versions of some of our leading channel brands.
"It's tremendously satisfying to be finally launching our first VoD service this autumn. UKTV's position in the market is so unique that we're confident our HD and VoD offerings will really add value to Sky and their customers."
Hundreds of hours of programming will be made available through Sky Anytime+, the shows will be refreshed on a monthly basis, and nine box sets will be made available every year.
Programmes that will be available to Sky customers on demand include cop drama 'New Tricks' from Alibi, 'Top Gear' and 'Argumental' from Dave, and 'Rick Stein's French Odyssey' from Good Food.
A spokeswoman for UKTV said there were no plans yet for a standalone service, but confirmed that UKTV was in talks with other suppliers.
No ads will be screened against the on-demand content, as Sky Anytime+ does not run ads against its programming.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Picnic Basket sandwich shop opens in Wauwatosa
The sister restaurant of Nashotah's Picnic Basket has opened in Wauwatosa, at 10600 W. Blue Mound Road.
The Tosa sandwich shop has a slightly different menu, owner Tim Weiberg said, and it doesn't serve the pizzas that the Nashotah location does. A new appetizer is chicken-fried bacon ($6.95), about eight battered bacon strips with ranch dressing and barbecue sauce. "It's definitely for a group," Weiberg said, "unless you're having a bad day."
And one sandwich riffs on those 26.2 stickers seen on cars of marathon runners. The BLT marathon sandwich ($14.95) comes with 26 slices of bacon — and a sticker.
New salads ($8.95) include spinach and strawberry, and one called the Granny, with Granny Smith apples, candied pecans and barbecue pulled pork on spinach and romaine lettuce.
Hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Saturday; the shop might open on Sundays later. The grand opening will be May 28.
The full menu for the Tosa restaurant is online; to contact, (414) 763-4378. The restaurant delivers within a 3-mile radius.

Arizona Cardinals
John Skelton benched in second quarter vs. Falcons
John Skelton's 2012-2013 season took yet another turn Sunday.
Midway through the second quarter of Arizona's game against the Falcons, the former fifth-round pick out of Fordham was replaced in favor of rookie quarterback Ryan Lindley.
Despite three first quarter interceptions by the Cardinals defense, Skelton began the game just 2-for-7 for six yards.
Skelton began the season as the team's starter before suffering a right ankle injury in the team's 20-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. After Kevin Kolb sustained a rib injury in the fourth quarter of Arizona's Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Skelton once again took over the starting duties.
In his last three starts, Skelton is 0-3.
Lindley, who was selected in the sixth round by the Cardinals in last April's draft, came into Sunday's game with no career pass attempts.

@Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
I have done some testing with quake4 multiplayer Demo "playNetTimeDemo id_demo.ndmo86" and latest compiz svn.
My results are:
driver version | NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11
resolution | 1280x720
metacity | 99 fps
compiz | 84 fps (it never looks as smooth as without compiz)
A part of my xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
If it is a problem with compiz, are you working together with the compiz developer (for example David Reveman) to improve this situation?
Mr. A
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
My end user opinion is that this is normal since compiz uses opengl + an opengl app = less fps for the app.
If you want to achieve something like vista does when a 3D app runs - that is close aero - then this must happen on another level not driver level.
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
well, it is only normal to lose some fps, since you're using part of the gpu for compiz, when it's not used with metacity. it's like complaining that your usual game doesn't run as fast when you're encoding some audio (or any other task)...
resources get shared among the various stasks on the system...
as for "smoothness", sure I too lose a mere 5 fps in games, but it stays smooth nonetheless. hell, your 84fps is damn smooth, given that the human eye can only perceive ~25fps grand max.
that said:
- if you're playing fullscreen, you can 'disable redirect for fullscreen windows'.
- I always encountered an issue with compiz, which by default 1. autodetects its target fps and 2. activates vsync, both which for some reason makes the games (actually, compiz's rendering of the game's frame) skip one frame out of some, giving some totally un-smooth behavior, regardless of the high fps rating. disabling compiz vsync and its refresh rate autodetection, and forcing it to my panel's 60fps gives a total pleasure to the eye.
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
So in this specific situation, it seems to be a driver bug/issue.
I think you only get it to 98% synced.
NVIDIA X Server Settings tells me, that my monitor refresh rate is 58,47 Hz.
I couldn't get compiz to do the same frequency, I can only use 60 or 58 as refresh rate. If I play videos I can see tearing, that is not so nice.
At the moment compiz is not really smooth if I take a look at a Intel based graphics system it is much smoother. I never got it so smooth on a NVIDIA System. This has nothing to do with the fps it is just how compiz behaves.
So it would be interesting for everyone of use to know if NVIDIA is going to solve those problems.
And I really would like to know if NVIDIA is working together with the compiz developer.
I mean NVIDIA is working together with the developer from Crysis and other great games to get the best out of there hardware.
NVIDIA please let as know.
Mr. A
Nvida is doing a great job compared to the ATI/AMD drivers.
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
Whenever a compositing manager is used (such as compiz), performance will be less than without. This is a result of the fact that everything must first be rendered off screen and then 'composited' onto the desktop. This is not a driver bug, its the nature of how compositing works.
This has already been explained in detail in older threads on this forum.
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
try starting compiz with --loose-binding
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
You should just type this command "playNetTimeDemo id_demo.ndmo86" and the demo will play.
best wishes
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
I have a 8600M GT and with compiz, euphoria screensaver runs slow. This is not normal.
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
Maybe there is something wrong on your system.
I have to say that the situation has quite changed since I started this Thread.
Now I use ubuntu 7.10 with the latest beta drivers v169.04 and the 3D performance is better and smoother as it was.
My results for q4demo:
resolution | 1280x720 Hight Quality
compiz | 114,5 fps
without compiz | 127 fps
My results for ioquake3:
resolution | 1920x1200 Hight Quality
compiz | 296,5 fps
without compiz | 303,5 fps
Sure I have some more fps without compiz but the difference is so small that I can live with.
I mean it is still not perfect but to my mind I have to say that I use compiz every day without big problems. Sure there is always something that you can improve.
Now back to your post.
Maybe you could tell us something about your System.
for example.
- distro
- xorg.conf
- driver version
That would help to solve your problems.
best wishes
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
It should run perfectly :) I use that screensaver with a GeForce3 Ti500 with compiz without any problem... It should run smoother.
Probably you can help me here, probably I'm missing some options in my xorg.conf.
Please help me here:
Re: @Nvidia: OpenGL apps with compiz enabled run slower
First, I have to respond to this:
The good news is that it's better than it used to be, but it's still a problem.
Ahhh, if only compiz had a setting so it would ignore full screen apps, allowing games to run at their full FPS without all that lag. But, wait, it does!
In Settings Manager/General/
Unredirect Fullscreen Windows
Unfortunately, the damn thing doesn't work properly. At this moment, it doesn't seem to help the FPS lags, but in UT2004 it does manage to steal the mouse focus so you can't play the game at all. :(
Alas, Unredirect Fullscreen Windows (UFW) is one of the buggiest features in compiz and has had a long history of not working, half-working and triggering other bugs. It seems most of the compiz developers don't use any other 3D apps at all besides compiz itself.
So, the solution to your problem is a working UFW setting in compiz, but this is the wrong forum to get a fix.

When I knit in the round I can tell my right side from wrong side. My question is when you knit in the round is your right side out or in?
Like when I'm knitting say mittens, like I am right now my project is inside out, so if I want to try it on to see how it looks I would have to turn it inside out/right side out. What about you?
And does it make a difference in the finished product?

He is held in high regard at The Hawthorns following his spell there as a player and in the West Midlands he has been dubbed FAB - 'Future Albion Boss'.
McInnes, who is under contract at Aberdeen until the summer of 2017, moved to Albion from Rangers for £450,000 in July 2000. He captained them to promotion to the Premier League in 2001 and made 100 appearances for the club before joining Dundee United in 2003.
McInnes successfully cut his managerial teeth with St Johnstone and although he had an unsuccessful spell in charge at Bristol City he won both managerial awards in Scotland this season.

Hello! My name is Kasie and I'm looking for some support with a twin pregnancy. A friend recommended I check this site out so ... here I am. :)
Off to look around! <3
~ Kasie 31 ~ Tim 29 ~ DS 4 ~
Hi Bellamomma. Welcome to Mothering. I hope you find what you're looking for. Please let me know if I can help.
I thought you might be interested in the Parenting Multiples sub-forum. Looks like there are some threads in there that might be of interest.
Do you know about our Due Date Clubs?
And, you might want to check out our California Tribe.
I hope you enjoy Mothering.
Thank you! You saved me from a bit of searching. :)

Hi! Welcome to MDC from another West Coaster. :)
I'd love resources. Only thing I've found so far is a multiples parenting class at UCSD Thornton.
~ Kasie 31 ~ Tim 29 ~ DS 4 ~
"I'm 33 weeks pregnant with twins and seeing the perinatologists at UCSD. Dr. Schrimmer is the head of the multiples clinic. He has a reputation of supporting vaginal birth. So far he has been supportive in my case. According to him, 80% of the faculty is skilled and in favor of vaginal birth for twins. If at time of delivery only the other 20% are present, you can ask them to call the back-up doctors who are comfortable with a vaginal birth."

Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Chase Budinger will miss the next three to four months while recovering from surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee. Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery Tuesday, three days after Budinger was injured in a game against the Chicago Bulls. Minnesota is already playing without Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, JJ Barea and Brandon Roy because of injuries. Nikola Pekovic sprained his left ankle Monday against Dallas but is hopeful to be back this week. Budinger emerged as a valuable perimeter player in his first season in Minnesota. He is averaging 11.8 points and had helped fill in for Roy, who has missed two straight games with knee soreness. Budinger is in the final year of his contract.

Polyphony (literature)
In literature, polyphony (Russian: полифония) is a feature of narrative, which includes a diversity of points of view and voices. The concept was introduced by Mikhail Bakhtin, based on the musical concept polyphony. Bakhtin claimed that polyphony and heteroglossia are the defining features of the novel as a literary genre.
For Bakhtin the primary example of polyphony was Dostoevsky's prose. Bakhtin argued that Dostoyevsky, unlike previous novelists, does not appear to aim for a 'single vision' and goes beyond simply describing situations from various angles. Dostoevsky engendered fully dramatic novels of ideas where conflicting views and characters are left to develop unevenly into unbearable crescendo (The Brothers Karamazov).

Cavala Seaside Resort, Baga
Cavala Seaside Resort is not situated right by the seaside but a few hundred metres away from the sea. As it was red flag on all beaches in Goa when I visited during the monsoon I liked the fact there was a pool at Cavalla's, but it turned out to be closed the day I arrived.
I got a nice room though. There was a lot of space and it was convenient with tables, reading lamp above the bed, a cupboard, hangers, a fridge and a TV with BBC News. Through the three bathroom windows I could see the beautiful lace of leaves outside. It was a clean bathroom, but there was rat *** in it, and more the next day.
For a single room I paid Rs 750 + 5% tax (July 2010). I liked the building covered in green vegetation and the fact I could sit outside my room looking out at the rice fields.
Breakfast was included in the price and from the menu I chose fruits, toast, scrambled eggs and a pot of coffee. It was a good breakfast. One morning I saw something in the corner of my eye, and the other customer in the restaurant at the moment said it was a rat running past.
I ate dinner once in the restaurant and it was the most expensive meal I had in India, but not the best. In the restaurant there were also live music in the evenings.
Awesome & Affordbale Rooms
Hi Steve,
i stayed at this awesome and affordable place called Cavala which is opposite Cafe del sol. both are not on the beach but within walking distance. I did not like the ambience at Del Sol much . It had a lot of nosiy tourists groups.
As for Nagahole, any info u might need just email me , I live in Coorg which is where the sanctuary is located and can get u some updated info.
good and cheap place

Directions: the main baga-calangute road, after titos
Best Accommodation In Baga
Lovely place to stay. The back drop is paddy fields..gets its lush green after the monsson but it's a pity that it gets grey and dull during the peak season.
The restaurant is great..mostly you could get lo listen to Suzie, a talanted singer who can make you think that you are back in 60's with the retro jazz repetoire...
The Pool and the bar area called 'Banana Republic is a place for sun bathing and quiet reading in hammocks.
Those who like to be near the beach and be away from the crowds and noice..Cavala is a great place to chill..
Unique Quality: Nice food
Great atmosphere
Friendly staff
Great music

About the Designer
Isamu Noguchi United States (1904 - 1988)
Isamu Noguchi, born in 1904 in Los Angeles to the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi and the American writer Leonie Gilmour, studied at Columbia University and the Leonardo da Vinci Art School. He subsequently established his first independent studio and received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1927. He then worked as an assistant to Constantin Brancusi in Paris and presented his first solo exhibition in New York. He studied brush drawing in China and worked with ceramics under Jinmatsu Uno in Japan. His experiences living and working in different cultural circles are reflected in his work as an artist. Isamu Noguchi is considered a universal talent with a creative oeuvre that went beyond sculpture to encompass stage sets, furniture, lighting, interiors as well as outdoor plazas and gardens. His sculptural style is indebted to a vocabulary of organic forms and exerted a sustained influence on the design of the 1950s. "My father, Yone Noguchi, is Japanese and has long been known as an interpreter of the East to the West, through poetry. I wish to fulfill my heritage", he wrote in his proposal for a Guggenheim Fellowship. Isamu Noguchi died in New York in 1988.

A Canadian who waited nearly a year to claim a C$30 million ($23 million) lottery prize because he didn't want to "do anything rash" was being described as the most patient man in the country on Friday.
Couldn't he at least have claimed it and invested it for that year? Sheesh.
Except for his divorce just becoming final....
If that's the case, then he can be sued for some portion of it by his ex-wife. It's not when you pick it up that matters, it's when you won it. It's happened to others who tried to hide their lottery winnings from their spouse and then got a divorce.

Wow, no news for a while now, since the Bahrain Grand Prix.
I do hope it is for a positive reason, ie when Kehm said the updates would stop once Michael had left the hospital and his rehabilitation would become a quiet, personal family matter.
I am sincerely hoping for that being the reason for the lack of updates,
Keep fighting Michael!

36 year old woman | Minnetonka, MN, USA | Seeking men 32-39 within 20 miles
Dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like nobody's listening, And live like it's heaven on earth
About me. I was born and raised in Minnesota. I spent 2 1/2 yrs living in the South Pacific which explains the photo of me in the green dress. Don't worry. That is not my typical attire. I value traveling and have been fortunate enough to travel to many countries around the world. Work has allowed me to visit almost every major city in the US. My favorite US cities are New Orleans, San Francisco, Chicago and Boston. I've traveled to over 30 countries and have lived in two. Hands down New Zealand, Ireland, Thailand and Vanuatu are my favorite. Hope to make it back to all of them someday. I work for a medical software company here in the Cities and I love my job. I have a large family with 4 sisters (intense I know). Like many others, family and friends are very important to me and are very involved in my life. I love spending time at my cabin in the summer and being outdoors. My favorite outdoor activities are camping and hiking. I was lucky enough to spend some time in the Redwoods this summer and I can't wait to go back. I plan at least one trip to someplace each year that I've never been before. I love yoga and practice 3-5 times a week. Music is very important to me. I believe the type of music someone listens to tells a lot about who they are. I am a member of the Current, and a First Ave member. I spend a large majority of my vacation time traveling around the US seeing live music. I've always been more into music than sports but would love to meet someone who has a passion for a specific team...except the Yankees. I hate the Yankees. I learned a lot about myself the past two years. Biggest takeaways are: 1. Life is short and way more fun when you have someone to share it with. 2. Minneapolis/St Paul has a ridiculous amount of fun things to do that I'm just now discovering how awesome it is here in my 30s. I know what your thinking. Where the hell have I been! I'm shaking my head at myself. 3. I love to laugh and realize that finding a match that is funny is a requirement for me. If you enjoy making people laugh, we will be off to a good start. :) 4. Always wear sunscreen. ( just kidding. You've heard that speech right)? My friends tell me I am kind and always see the good in others. I'm dedicated to my job ( sometimes a little too much). But I think it's important to strive to always be better in your career, your health, hobbies and what makes you happy, whatever that may be. I want to meet someone who isn't quick to pass judgement and accepts people for who they are, flaws and all. Someone who likes to travel, who takes care of themselves on a daily basis, but also enjoys a night out with friends, even if it means you might end up feeling a little rough the next day. Someone who has career goals, a sense of adventure and a great sense of humor because I guarantee if you try to make me laugh you will succeed.
