The previous version had a combination of compatibility issues that I have been trying to fix ever since the last release. As I was unable to fix some of the issues with Direct3D renderer I decided to switch to using OpenGL renderer by default on Windows too. Direct3D renderer is still available as a backup for cases where OpenGL does not work. You can enable it with a '--direct3d' command line argument.
I have made some changes to score calculation to make the score more dependent on skilled gameplay and less on luck. For example I removed vials in supply packs, because those added a totally random component to final level score. The score given based on level completion time was also slightly increased. Although the scores with older versions are not directly comparable anymore I decided not to reset online high-scores.
Here's full list of changes since 1.0.0 beta release:
More information and direct downloads are available on the website.

This should be now fixed in release 0.6.1.
Which operating system and version were you using? I would really like fix these issues.
crunchbang linux, current version
Crunchbang Linux seems to be based on Debian Squeeze so you are likely facing the exact same problem as lordkgd. This will be fixed in next alpha version coming very soon.
still won't work for me. I'm not interested in playing this game anymore. good luck with your game.
Ok, thanks for trying it though!
I tested the 0.6.1 release on 64-bit Crunchbang Linux 10 without problems, so this problem must be something more specific and does not rule out Crunchbang Linux support completely.
Unable to open library: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./lib/libplatform.so)
i running on debian squeeze. so this game is only for kernel 3.xx and up ?
really,really annoying!
Current Linux builds do require GLIBCXX_3.4.15 support in libstdc++. This is something related to used compiler and library versions, not kernel version.
I thought I tested this in Debian 6, I will have to look into this. Is your Debian 32 or 64-bit?
my debian 6.0.5 is a 32 bit version. squeeze release with 188.8.131.52.686 kernel. but i think i can't play it , because of library version (you surely right at this point). may i have to look for another distro or wait for an update? however , thx for reply. :)
It seems that I accidentally built the 0.5.0 release using wrong environment, so now it depends on too new libstdc++ version! I will try to fix this issue before the next release (which is coming soon).
thx again to reply !. i really apreciate this .

Washington State Institutional Review Board REVIEW CONSIDERATIONS The Washington State Institutional Review Board's primary function is to protect the rights and welfare of individuals who are involved in research in its jurisdiction. The Review Board must determine that: the proposed project design and methods are adequate and appropriate in the light of stated project purposes; that the rights and welfare of research participants are adequately protected; that participants are fully informed and provide consent voluntarily, and that risks to participants are minimized, are not unreasonable, and are outweighed by potential benefits to them or by the knowledge to be gained. The WSIRB is guided by federal regulations, the Belmont Report, institutional policies, and applicable state laws and regulations. The Washington State Agency Policy on Protection of Human Research Subjects is based on federal regulations for the protection of human subjects (45 CFR 46), but is somewhat more restrictive. For example, some research which the federal regulations consider exempt from review is subject to at least expedited review under the Policy. Human subjects review also includes an assessment of local laws and regulations which may apply to a research activity. In Washington, such laws include mandatory reporting of abuse of children and dependent adults; reporting of notifiable conditions to state and local health authorities; confidentiality of HIV and STD diagnosis and treatment; access to confidential health care information; and use and disclosure of identifiable DSHS or DOH records, among others. Links to pertinent laws, codes and regulations are included in this Handbook for easy reference. Research applications reviewed by the Washington State Institutional Review Board encompass a wide range of scientific and social inquiry. While no individual has expertise in all fields, Board members are chosen to ensure that as many areas of inquiry as possible are represented. The Executive Secretary and Associate Executive Secretary are available to provide consultation during the review process. Board members are encouraged to raise questions and discuss issues with Review Section staff who will provide guidance, resource materials, and referral to other sources of information and expertise. The following areas should be carefully considered during Review Board deliberations: Scientific Merit Human subjects review begins with an assessment of the overall scientific merit and the logical and technical soundness of the research. The research application should discuss the relevant literature or describe the context in which the study will occur to provide an adequate conceptual framework. The objectives, research questions and/or hypotheses of the study should be clearly stated, and the proposed methods and study Revised March 2008 instruments should produce data relevant to the objectives. Plans for data analysis should be well-defined and likely to produce results related to the study purposes, objectives and hypotheses. The researcher should have appropriate qualifications to conduct the project, or, if the researcher is a graduate student, adequate supervision by qualified faculty. Study Population Research proposals should clearly define who will be enrolled as participants in the research and explain why these subjects will be selected. Justification for inclusion and exclusion criteria should be reviewed carefully to verify that it is equitable and appropriate for study objectives. Classes of subjects should not be systematically included or excluded for arbitrary reasons. Reviewers should consider whether participants will share the benefits of the research (to individuals, the class or subjects, or society in general) in proportion to the burdens imposed by the research. If vulnerable populations are included, reviewers should consider whether the research could be done with a non-vulnerable population or whether additional safeguards are necessary to protect vulnerable subjects. Subject Recruitment Reviewers should examine the procedures for identifying, contacting and recruiting potential subjects. Generally, researchers should not make first contact with potential subjects. If the researcher proposes to identify and sample the study population from confidential state agency records, contact must first be made by agency employees. Sampled individuals must be provided, at a minimum, the option of refusing further contact regarding the research. Recruitment materials should provide information in language that the intended population can readily understand. Recruitment procedures should be free of undue influence or coercion. Informed Consent The informed consent process must provide complete information about the study in a manner that prospective subjects can comprehend, and in an environment that ensures voluntary participation. Reviewers should consider the appropriateness of the individual(s) who will request consent, as well as the location and timing of the consent process. Researchers must provide complete information about the proposed research and what the potential subjects would be asked to do if they participate. Consent/assent procedures must also be conducted in an environment and manner that is free of coercion or undue influence. Consent/assent documents must contain all elements required under the federal regulations, and be written in reading levels and languages appropriate for the intended study population(s). Research that will include vulnerable groups (e.g., pregnant women, fetuses, children, decisionally impaired, institutionalized, prisoners, socially or economically disadvantaged) merits special consideration. Reviewers should evaluate whether potential subjects would be capable of fully understanding the research and providing their own consent for participation. It is important to evaluate the potential for undue influence in the consent process. The Review Board must ensure that there are Revised March 2008 adequate safeguards in place to protect the interests of vulnerable subjects, e.g., a consent witness or subject advocate. Assent to participate in research generally is required from persons who are decisionally impaired and/or legally incompetent or less than 18 years of age. In addition, parental or guardian permission generally must be obtained to include these vulnerable subjects in the research. The Review Board may approve waivers or alterations of consent, assent, and/or waiver of parental or guardian permission provided the requirements in 45 CFR 46 have been met. Confidentiality Board members should carefully consider possible risks to the confidentiality of subject information in all phases of the proposed research: sampling, recruitment, consent procedures, proposed methods and setting for data collection, etc. The Board may require alterations in the study to minimize confidentiality risks. Some research may pose special confidentiality concerns, e.g., plans to collect sensitive information regarding the individual's own behavior or experiences, genetic samples, or information about illegal activities, to name a few. Benefits and Risks A fundamental task in the Board's review of proposals is to balance the anticipated benefits and risks of the research. Benefits accruing from research may include direct, personal benefits to the participants, such as the provision of a new procedure or drug, or the opportunity to obtain services that are only available through participating in the research. Benefits also include general societal benefits in the form of new scientific or applied knowledge. Risk is defined as any research procedure that potentially may harm the research participant -- psychologically, physically, socially, economically, legally, or otherwise. Risks may range from physical injury from biomedical or pharmaceutical research, to mere inconvenience from participation in survey research. When assessing risks inherent in a proposal, reviewers should consider both the magnitude and probability of the harm occurring. If the balance between risks and benefits is unfavorable, the Review Board will require the researcher to develop plans for reducing risks and/or increasing benefits. Review Disposition Assuming all regulatory requirements have been met, the Review Board makes a decision on review disposition by balancing the risks to subjects in relation to anticipated benefits to the subjects and/or society. If the risks are outweighed by the anticipated benefits, the proposal may be approved, or conditionally approved subject to clarifications and/or revisions in procedures. If insufficient information exists for the Board to clearly determine the risks and/or anticipated benefits of the research, a decision may be deferred until additional information is obtained and/or issues resolved in a revised research application. Revised March 2008 If risks clearly outweigh anticipated benefits, and it is not possible to increase benefits or reduce risks, the proposal may be disapproved. The Review Board does not disapprove a proposal until the researcher has been given an opportunity to address issues and concerns raised by the Board, including the opportunity to attend a WSIRB meeting. Revised March 2008

Yellowish. Kerosene on the nose. Quite sour on the palate. Fruits have already dissipated, leaving hints of minerality and saline. Very dry. Lacks mid-palate intensity and dissipates quite fast on the finish. After some air it became more diluted. Drink up.
Yum - Smokey, Oily, Sherbet like lime and melon - very good, acid is there but not searing - I would say no rush but drinking very well now
The first time I haven't enjoyed this wine, piercing acidity and citrus but not a lot of fruit.
Bottle nr. 01587. Tasted over three days. Yellowish colour, with a green tinge. On the 2nd day, the the green tinge was still visible, but the general colour had turned to a full yellow. A kerosene nose to begin. A lot more terpenes than since my previous note, yet these fade with time and almost completely disappear on the third day. Once the kerosene fades, there are floral, yellowish fruit notes which turn pungent with time, with touches of talc, vanilla, grapefruit and anise. Resembles a Rheingau, if one is to ask for a comparison. A complex nose. Despite the obvious, mature Australian cool climate riesling flavour profile, the mouth is almost ascetic. There is still a bit of spritzig here! Good purity. Lacking a bit of oomph, but the slight note of natural sweetness makes me think positively about the wine. Yet the very high lemony acid spoils the overall impression. Adds length over the three days and holds up very well, but the acid makes me restrict my rating to a very good plus (which is a notch above my previous note, due to the greater complexity showing on the nose). This should keep for another 10 years.
Kerosene nose. Bit of honey and lemons. Citrus. Green apple.
Judgment of Singapore: Part 2 - Riesling and Cabernet (Ubin Seafood, Sin Ming Indistrial Estate): I thought that this was very decent, but such was the high standard of the 6 dry Rieslings on the night that it was voted both my and the group's least favourite. The nose was quite unusual, with nutty nuances and a noticeable amount of kerosene, strong whiffs of ripe lemon, some stony mineral accents and then strange little whiff of blueberry in there somewhere. The palate was enjoyable, if not quite the most serious or complex of wines, with those strange little notes of sweet blueberries and even dark cherries at the fore chased by bright citrussy lemon and grapefruit flavours. There was some really zippy acidity running through the whole package into a ripe finish that had a little of the tropical in it, with pineapple and jackfruit nuances here and there. It was just a bit unconvincing on the back-palate I thought, with the fruit and the acidity sticking out at rather awkward angles, but overall, quite a pleasant drink nonetheless. I am not sure this will improve all that much with time though.
Riesling Rampage (Asquith, Australia): Light floral notes with musk, honey and chalk. Palate has some richness to it, finishing crisp and clean. In a good spot for drinking now, it isn't in danger of falling over but I think it won't improve much.
Bottle nr. 01515. Closure: screwcap Region: Barossa. 12% alcohol. Consumed over two days. Green tinged yellowish colour. The nose is more kerosene than petrol, with waxy, paraffin notes coming out later. It takes some time for pungent yellow fruit to show. Out of a half-bottle on the 2nd day, the wine had shed the kerosene and waxy character to allow more of the pungency to show. Medium body. Quite round. Vanilla flavour ahead of the pungent fruit. Green acidity. Initially, the wine ends abruptly at the middle and the finish is weak. After a while it adds to its length. Yes, definite improvement on the 2nd day. Dry and made in an austere Rheingau-style. A very good wine at the end, but I did expect more. There isn't enough nuance or concentration of flavours that would make me choose it over a Qualitatswein Trocken from a good Rheingau producer at half the price.
Great lime-petrol-honey nose with a hint of (non-oaky) creaminess.
In the mouth rather lightbodied (12% alcohol) and very focused with lively, razorsharp acidity. Some citrus, peach, cream and honey flavours on the palate - but I'm guessing that this wine is at least 3-5 years from it's peak.
Steely focused citrus with hints of jet fuel. This is just a giant monolithic expression of lemon and yellow citrus fruits. Mineral and slatish. This is just pure essence of fresh acidity.
Light grapefruit in nose. Citrus on tongue. long, pleasant finish.
Disappointing given some of the reviews. Dry and dull, lacking in fruit for my palate, and no minerality or other flavors to fill the void. Perhaps we had an off bottle, but this wine did not deliver for me.
An outstanding wine - now I understand the hype. Crisp, flavour, depth and intensity. Move over Grosset - you have a stablemate
A quiet Rhone night; 8/17/2007-8/18/2007 (At home with Mark and Keiko): Wow a step up from the 05 which I bought at the same time. The clarity of the wine is almost like the crystal and catches the light as well. Balance is spot on with wonderful citrus fruit; pomelo, grapefruit, lemon and limes as well as granny smith apples. Piercing long finish with a hint of chalk which isn't really to my liking - seems to produce a hollow spot but this is wonderful.
Something of a disappointment after reading some very positive reviews of this. A bit one-dimensional with lots of lemon and grapefruit, plenty of acidity and a long finish. Not subtle, but still pretty good.
WineAustralia Expo 2006 (Darling Harbour): Nothing mirrors the reality of the compromises wrought by commercialism better than the history of Steingarten riesling. The driving vision is of a single stony, rocky, inhospitable Rheingau-like vineyard making great wine in the best years. Later, it expands to include the best fruits from all the Eden valley, presented in a limited release annually (a few hundred cases at worst). Now, it's inherited the Barossa (and Jacob's Creek) tag, production has increased drastically, and it's nothing special at all. Even into the late nineties the wines could be sensational (assuming you found one with a decent cork – no mean feat). This 03 Steingarten is a thick, heavily phenolic wine with some citrus and lime fruit hints, but lacking acidity and verging on downright unpleasant. I don't think this is just an aging slump. Nasty wine.
Lime, lemon and slate. Palate has searing acidity but very good length, needs 3-4 years.

Tap the Squirrel HD Pro
The boundaries of the central city park have been placed under surveillance of a dog and a cat in order to prevent the tiny squirrels living in the park from escaping in the town. In fact the people living close to the park are having a hard time with the overgrown squirrel population that keeps snooping around in their homes making everything a mess.
Your task will be to prevent the squirrels from escaping and so being caught from their guardians.
Simply tap your finger on any matching squirrel to make them flee back to their holes/lairs and free the space occupied before.
If you are not quick enough they could cross the bush borders making you lose your mission. If more than three squirrels are crossing the borders you have lost. Every right match will burst these little squirrels away in fascinating rays and great blasts.
As you get on with the levels you will encounter new objects (hives, trunks, nuts, etc.) that will make your life harder as they are going to restrict the living space of the squirrels, helping them to climb over the line.
Try to master all the levels of this smashing casual game and sharpen your skills.
★★★ Features: ★★★
✔ Match 3 or more identical 3D squirrels
✔ Colorful graphics and smooth animations
✔ Tons of sparkling special effects
✔ Cool sounds and ambient music
✔ 15 levels to play
✔ Maximum points reachable with one move: 500
✔ Combos with multiplier factors
In order to get a combo you need to match up at least 3 squirrel and then repeat the same action:
3 x 3 x 3 x….. 4 x 4 x 4 x…... 5 x 5 x 5 x …..etc.
Useful advice: You need to match at least 3 squirrels to get points, if you touch just 2 of them they will disappear and empty the space they occupied before, but without giving you any points.
Warning: If you touch in a place where no matching squirrels are, you will lose 50 points.
You will find yourself hopelessly addicted to these nice cartoon animals and the blasting special effects.
This cool puzzle game is a real jewel among the match-3 games.

Product description
Divine Heiress explores the vital role of the Virgin Mary in the cultural and religious life of Constantinople in late antiquity. It shows how she was transformed from a humble Jewish maiden into a divine figure and supernatural protector of Constantinople. Vasiliki Limberis examines the cult of Mary in the context of the religious culture of the Mediterranean world and the imperial Christianity of the Roman Empire. The author looks at all the evidence for the cult but pays particular attention to the early hymns to the virgin. These hymns preserved the strong indigenous goddess traditions of Demeter/Persephone, Isis, Hecate and Athena. By studying them the author places the cult of Mary in its historical and cultural context.

text: Social Twitter partners with Yahoo Japan for real-time results June 14, 2011 12:43 PM Sean Ludwig 0 Twitter on Tuesday announced it has formed a partnership with Yahoo Japan that will allow Yahoo customers to see real-time Twitter results integrated with search results. Tweets will be integrated into various Yahoo services, beginning with real-time results pages. The announcement is a big deal because Twitter has a large number of users in Japan. Twitter launched a Japanese version of the site back in April 2008 after noticing many Japanese users on the English version of the site. "Twitter's mission is to instantly connect people everywhere to what's most meaningful to them," Twitter wrote on its Japanese blog. "We believe that a partnership with a strong web platform such as Yahoo Japan will help us fulfill this mission for the Twitter Japan community." Since Japan is such an important market for Twitter, it makes sense to see these types of partnerships popping up. Just a few weeks ago, Twitter partnered with the largest mobile operator in Japan, NTT DOCOMO, to help bring the service to more people. Photo via izzyplante VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying marketing and personalization... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

New Hampshire Primaries
Presidential candidates fanned out today across the US following the New Hampshire primary, which shook Republican front-runner and Texas governor George W. Bush, and dealt a stunning victory to his rival, Arizona Senator John McCain.
McCain piled up the widest margin in New Hampshire since Ronald Reagan defeated Bush's father there 20 years ago, beating Bush by almost 20 percentage points. It was a humiliation that dented Bush's aura of invincibility and could tighten the contest for the Republican nomination in the weeks ahead.
Meanwhile, Vice President Al Gore edged out a narrow win over former New Jersey Senator Bill Bradley in a race was too close to call until its final count.
The race now turns to Delaware, South Carolina, Michigan and Arizona, with McCain facing the challenge of Bush's money machine, which so far has put $67 million into his election — not counting millions in soft money that are also piling up in state Republican coffers.
- Peter Eisner, Center for Public Integrity.
- Andrew Wheat, Texans for Public Justice, an organization that just put out a report on Bush's campaign funds called, "The Governor's Gusher."

Dell's Ubuntu 9.04 Offers More Changes
Published on 09 October 2009 07:39 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
Ubuntu 9.04 was released back in April while the next release,
Ubuntu 9.10
, will be out in less than three weeks. However, only recently has Dell been getting around to rolling out their Linux desktops, netbooks, and notebooks with an Ubuntu 9.04 installation option rather than Ubuntu 8.10. Besides switching out the base operating system to Ubuntu 9.04, Dell's Linux engineers also took this time to make a few other changes to their "Dellbuntu" stack.
In a blog post on
, Dell's John Hull has commented on some of the technical changes to be found with those Dell systems shipping with Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" -- including those that are available with
Ubuntu Moblin Remix
These changes by Dell for Ubuntu 9.04 include shipping the
CyberLink DVD Player
for legal DVD playback as opposed to their previous use of the also-proprietary LinDVD software. Dell continues to Fluendo GStreamer codecs for MP3, WMA, and WMV playback as well to continue to provide a pleasant "out of the box" multimedia experience.
Dell has also been working on its own GUI-based utility for creating recovery media to restore the Ubuntu operating system in the event of a re-installation is needed. Unfortunately, not much information on this new Dell Linux tool is available at this time. Dell is also providing a new way to recover Ubuntu from your hard drive, but again, details are currently lacking as the links lead to empty pages on the Dell Wiki.
Another change for Dell with Ubuntu 9.04 include the use of GRUB2 by default. GRUB2 was
made the default in Ubuntu 9.10
, but Dell has decided to preemptively make the switch to this newer and better boot-loader, after feeling it is ready for general use. Dell has also ensured that their Intel wireless cards are supported natively within Ubuntu 9.04 and later as well as other newer Linux distributions.
Lastly, Dell continues to only offer Ubuntu in only a 32-bit version even though they do offer ship it with some 64-bit hardware systems. Hull's reasoning for this remains the Adobe Flash support on x86_64 or there the lack of.
can run on 64-bit Linux systems, but that isn't a viable solution yet, and Dell is not satisfied with the current
64-bit Flash Beta
from Adobe.
These changes are good to see and that Dell continues to invest in their Ubuntu offerings, albeit this is coming six months after Ubuntu 9.04 was released. Whether Dell will begin offering Ubuntu 9.10 systems on the heals of the
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
is yet unknown. Ideally it would have been nice for Dell to turn their focus to offering Ubuntu 9.10 systems around its release time instead of continuing on Ubuntu 9.04 work. Ubuntu 9.04 is a nice upgrade over Ubuntu 8.10 -- as are these Dell changes -- but Ubuntu 9.10 is shaping up to be an excellent release and perhaps the best yet from Canonical.
Ubuntu 9.10 has some nice new artwork, provides many important graphics fixes after the Ubuntu Jaunty
was horrible with Intel graphics
, has the
Ubuntu Software Store
(now known as the Ubuntu Software Center), offers
faster boot-times
, uses the
EXT4 file-system
addresses many minor usability bugs
, and packs a boat of other changes too.

Private Investor: I'm a winner at poker without ever playing the game
Saturday 26 February 2005
Like the Cincinatti Kid, I imagine, if you're very, very lucky, you can make quite a decent living out of playing poker. I believe that the best paid poker player in the world is a chap named Greg "Fossilman" Raymer, who won the 2004 World Series of Poker. Mr Raymer is a patent attorney from Stonington, Connecticut, and he took home $5 million after the final of the series at Binion's Horseshoe Casino, Las Vegas, last April.
I've never played poker. Indeed, I've never been into any card games, being the sort of player who would always lose at patience. It seems to me that you need a good deal of patience to learn to be good at stuff like bridge and poker, and I have never been interested enough to stick these games out. If you don't play for decent stakes, for matchsticks or something instead, then it's all a bit futile; and if you do play for proper money, then it's too nerve-racking and, well, a bit of a gamble. I read somewhere that it's also illegal to do so outside premises licensed for the purpose, such as a casino.
I am, however, perfectly happy to gamble on the stock market, or invest carefully for long- and short-term returns, as I prefer to think of it. Regular readers will no doubt see where all this is leading to: another gloating session about my investment in Sportingbet.com.
A few weeks ago, it was still a fairly obscure firm, but it seems to be on everyone's lips now, a byword for the new boom in internet gambling, as indeed it is. Having bought the successful Paradise Poker concern in the United States, it is now one of the biggest of its kind in the world, and punters of all kinds have suddenly become interested in it. So interested, in fact, that they have chased its shares from the 192p or so, at which I topped up my holding a few weeks ago, to well over 300p this week. The shares stood at 20p in the autumn of 2003, their low point.
So, Sportingbet: bubble or business? A bit of both, I guess, as the speculation in the stock is becoming dizzying, even though its long-term growth prospects may be very sound indeed. In this respect, it feels uncannily like a small-scale re-run of the dotcom mania, as if no one had learned any lessons at all from the last debacle. And yet it still makes good profits out of a real business, although one with a candy-floss flavour.
The company makes money from allowing people to play poker with each other on-line, about as far away from a "real" business such as making cars or steel as you can be. So what? I've got money in lots of what are now old, mature busnesses, such as Shell and Tesco, and Vodafone even, by today's standards. Besides, how can you argue with a figure of 2.2 million customers?
In the half-year to January 31, Sportingbet.com posted underlying pre-tax profits of £18.3m, up 118 per cent. The Paradise Poker site, which was acquired for £196m last November, returned £8m in operating profit for the half-year. The beauty of Sportingbet is that it is just a profits machine. Almost every penny and every cent that it generates in revenue goes straight to the bottom line. With little, if any, variable cost increase per bet, every new punter is a profit generator. It's really as simple as that.
No wonder the shares have been doing so well. And some older investors have been taking the opportunity to sell out. I'm sticking with it for the ride, though, running my profits as happily as any devil-may-care vacationer in Las Vegas. There are risks, mostly regulatory, from government understandably worried about problem betting and with an eye to the profitability of the business as a useful source of taxes.
In the longer run, you have to ask yourself whether the low barriers to entry in this on-line business really afford outfits such as Sportingbet the protection they need from competition. I also find it difficult to believe that poker is really such a popular mass-market game, rather than just a fad the world is going through. So, it could all end in tears and I could walk away from this casino wiped out. After all, I'm not the Cincinatti Kid, am I?
