Testing 60+ Intel/AMD/NVIDIA GPUs On Linux With Open-Source Drivers
With Thursday marking the ten year anniversary of launching Phoronix.com and also the six-year anniversary since the public 1.0 debut of the Phoronix Test Suite, there's a lot of interesting articles that I've been working on to celebrate these two milestones. For your viewing pleasure today is easily the largest graphics processor comparison that's ever happened at Phoronix... I've tested over 60 GPUs from the Intel HD Graphics, AMD Radeon, AMD FirePro, and NVIDIA GeForce series to see how their performance is when using the very latest open-source Linux graphics drivers on Ubuntu.
Is Antergos Arch Linux Really Faster Than Ubuntu, Fedora?
Frequently within the Phoronix Forums it is requested to do benchmarks with Arch Linux since its users tend to be adamant that it's the fastest Linux distribution. In the past I've run benchmarks of the Arch-based Manjaro to look for speed differences as an easy and quick to deploy variant. Today the latest Arch Linux variant I am benchmarking is Antegros Linux.
35-Way NVIDIA/AMD Proprietary Linux Graphics Driver Comparison
Last week with Phoronix turning ten years old I celebrated by testing 65 different GPUs with the open-source Linux graphics drivers from Intel, AMD, and Nouveau. I also followed-up with power efficiency and thermal benchmarks from all of the graphics cards that played nicely on the latest open-source drivers. Today I'm following up with the next round of testing by checking out the proprietary NVIDIA and AMD Catalyst graphics drivers under Linux with 35 different graphics cards.
Nouveau Re-Clocking Is Way Faster, Shows Much Progress For Open-Source NVIDIA
Earlier this week on Phoronix we covered the steps to trying out Nouveau re-clocking with Linux 3.16, assuming you're running a supported NVIDIA GPU that can currently be statically re-clocked using this reverse-engineered graphics driver. While the support is still experimental and isn't intended for end-users, here are some fresh benchmarks of the Nouveau driver DRM code for Linux 3.16 when re-clocked.
Intel Core i7 4790K: Devil's Canyon Benchmarks On Ubuntu Linux
Last week at Computex Intel formally announced the Core i7 4790K "Devil's Canyon" processor as a new, high-end, refreshed Haswell part. The Intel Core i7 4790K tops out at 4.4GHz and is quite interesting for PC enthusiasts and performance junkies. Today we're delivering the first public tests of the i7-4790K Devil's Canyon run under Linux.
NVIDIA Slaughters AMD Catalyst On Linux In OpenGL 4.x Micro-Benchmarks
With the APITest OpenGL 4.x tests developed by John McDonald at NVIDIA who is now working for Valve on their Linux-related endeavors, the AMD Catalyst driver gets absolutely annihilated for these GL4 micro-benchmarks.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740: I'd Rather Have Maxwell
NVIDIA recently began shipping their TITAN Z graphics card that sports two unlocked GK110 GPU cores and 12GB of video memory, but for those that can't afford this $2,999 USD graphics card, on the opposite end they also began shipping a new budget graphics card: the GeForce GT 740. At Phoronix today we are seeing how well the EVGA GeForce GT 740 Super Clocked graphics card compares to many other NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards under Linux. There's also a number of AMD/NVIDIA Linux performance-per-Watt metrics, GPU thermal data, etc, in this latest Linux graphics card review.
Crucial MX100 128GB: A Cheap But Good SSD For Linux Systems
Crucial is out with a new solid-state drive line-up that's generating a lot of interest due to its lower price-per-Gigabyte than competing drives or even their former drives. The Crucial MX100 is the new SSD series and today we're testing out the Crucial MX100 128GB SSD, which costs just $80 USD (or about $0.62 per GB while the higher-capacity MX100 SSDs are comparatively even cheaper with the 512GB version costing less than $0.50 per GB).
The most popular news meanwhile included:
Russia To Replace AMD/Intel CPUs With 64-bit ARM Hardware
I heard a few days ago when getting into Russia from a contact that the Kremlin was looking to get rid of AMD and Intel CPUs on the basis that they're manufactured in the United States. That information has now been publicly announced and it appears they want to replace the AMD/Intel hardware with 64-bit ARM designs.
Civilization V Is Now Available For Linux, SteamOS
The latest AAA game shipping for Linux is... Civilization V!
id Software's Softdisk Open-Sources Some Really Old Games
Softdisk was the company where John Carmack, John Romero, and Adrian Carmack met and developed games originally before founding id Software. Those original Softdisk game titles are now being open-sourced under the GPL.
The New Features To The Linux 3.16 Kernel
Linus Torvalds will most likely be releasing the Linux 3.16-rc1 kernel today, now that the merge window has been open for two weeks and the feature pull requests are coming to an end. Here's a concise look at the new features and improvements to be found with the Linux 3.16 kernel.
The Linux 3.16 Kernel Already Has A Ton Of New Features
The Linux 3.15 kernel isn't even expected for release until later today, but thanks to the Linux 3.16 merge window opening a week early to adjust to Linus Torvalds' upcoming schedule, we already have a good idea for a portion of the changes for the next kernel cycle.
The Top Features Of The Linux 3.15 Kernel
With the Linux 3.15 kernel expected for release within the next few days, here is a rundown of the top features that are introduced as part of this big kernel release.

There's Now 500 Games On Steam For Linux
It just so happens on the tenth birthday of Phoronix that 500 games are now available for Linux via SteamOS.
XFS & Btrfs For Linux 3.16 Bring New Features
While EXT4 didn't see any exciting changes for the Linux 3.16 merge window, the XFS and Btrfs file-systems are continuing to receive a great deal of upstream improvements.

I really don't buy into the climate change 'movement' but I do know that we are pissing in our own corn flakes. I think Canada has more fresh water than any other country, yet at any given time there are over 1000 communities on 'boil water alerts' - meaning their municipalities can't even provide them with water that is safe for drinking. Some of the most massive rivers on the planet have become veritable sewage canals, the rain forest is disappearing, and the air in some major North American cities can occasionally incapacitate the elderly or infirm.
So regardless of how one mucks about with the equations of climate change, the human species has turned into the worst epidemic this ever to plague this planet. I think we would do well to change our ways before that is our legacy.
He's just stating his opinion. He is stating facts, but he's ignoring or left other facts that dispute or don't support his claim. Whether climate change is happening or not, I'm of the opinion that we should strive for cleaner environment. CO2 is an naturally occurring gas, but the core samples from the ice show the current levels to be extremely high. The oceans pH value is lowering, becoming more acidic. There is a very real threat that the lower pH level could disrupt the oceans food chain. Also, weather patterns could change and cause climates to change drastically.

Maze puts images on floor, where rats look
Media Contact:
Stimuli designed to be seen Rats and mice tend to look downward more than straight ahead. Projecting visual stimuli onto the floor of a maze allows rodents to learn behaviors faster. Credit: Burwell lab/Brown University
Visual acuity is sharpest for rats and mice when the animals are looking down. Researchers have found that rodents can learn tasks in a fourth to a sixth of the usual number of repetitions when visual stimuli are projected onto the floor of the maze rather than onto the walls. Findings are reported in the Journal of Visualized Experiments.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A rodent in a maze is a staple — even a stereotype — of experimental psychology research. But the maze in the lab of Rebecca Burwell, professor of cognitive, linguistic, and psychological sciences at Brown University, is not your grandfather's apparatus. In a new video article published in the Journal of Visualized Experiments, Burwell's research group demonstrates in full detail how the maze can be used to perform automated visual cognitive research tasks with great efficiency.
The maze is part real and part virtual. There are actual walls – often in the shape of a giant piece of farfalle – but researchers can project any imagery they want onto the floor from below. The use of digital projections makes the maze versatile, but using the floor for projections makes it particularly well-designed for rodent subjects.
"We've known since Lashley's classic studies on the mechanisms of vision that rats pay more attention to stimuli presented near the ground, but the field has persisted in presenting vertical 2-D images or 3-D objects," Burwell said. "What's new is the idea that presentation of images to the ground is the best way to present stimuli to rats and mice. Rodents do not have a fovea [a small depression in the retina where visual acuity is highest] like primates do, but they do have more retinal ganglion cells and photoreceptors in the upper retina, indicating that they can see items in the lower visual field better."
The apparatus
Projecting visual stimuli, something like a teleprompter, is better for test subjects and more efficient for researchers.So while human subjects participating in visual psychology experiments look forward — at a screen, for instance — and explore by looking around, the equivalent for a mouse or rat is to look down and explore by moving around.
The system makes a real difference in the speed with which rats learn tasks in the maze, Burwell said. In different experiments, the article notes, rats have learned to respond properly to visual stimuli in a fourth to a sixth the number of trials when stimuli were projected onto the floor rather than onto walls.
While rodents behave in the maze, they are tracked with an overhead camera and software that monitors their behavior. Implanted neural sensors in the rodents' brains allow for precise recording of brain activity during sessions so that it can be correlated with behavior.
Implants also allow for delivery of a rewarding stimulus. Rewards sent directly to the brain can be more effective than food rewards, Burwell said, because rats can be rewarded in the moment of desired performance, and they don't become satiated.
Burwell first published a paper about the floor projection maze in 2009 and has been using it ever since. She owns the intellectual property and said a company is interested in licensing it.
"For anyone interested in using rats or mice as a model for visual information processing, presenting the information on the floor makes good sense behaviorally and biologically," she said.
The Brown University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee must approve research protocols involving animals, including the floow projection maze.
The research is supported by the National Science Foundation (grants IOS 1146334, EFRI 0937848, IOS 0522220), and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (N66001-10-C-2010).

On this day in Pfeiffer history-Emily Prudden was born in 1832

Emily Prudden, the founder of what is now Pfeiffer University, was born June 13, 1832 in Orange, Conn. She was in her fifties before she would start what would become her life's calling. After learning of the lack of schools in the South, she moved first to Kentucky then further south and started helping in various Home Schools in North and South Carolina. She would go on to found at least fifteen schools in North and South Carolina. For many of the schools she founded, Emily Prudden would establish it, get it running with students, one or two teachers, a budget (usually around $200-$300 a year) and then sell it to a religious organization.

FICO 2.0: What You Need to Know About the New Credit Score Changes
We all know the saying: To err is human, but to forgive, divine.
Unfortunately, there hasn't traditionally been a whole lot of forgiveness in the world of credit. Those oh-so-human mistakes we've made when it comes to missing debt payments can leave a blemish on our credit reports for years—and significantly lower our credit scores.
Now, though, it looks like borrowers' mea culpas are being heard. Fair Isaac Corporation, the company that created the FICO credit score, recently announced that it was making some major changes to its calculations that could give a reprieve to those haunted by ghosts of credit mistakes past.
It's good news for borrowers—but could it be bad for the economy? Here are a few ways the FICO changes will affect us all.
Pro: Settled late payments will no longer count against you. In the past, if you failed to pay a bill and it went into collections, the ding could stay on your credit report for up to seven years and lower your score by as much as 100 points. Now, Fair Isaac says that if those bills were paid off or settled with a collection agency, it will no longer include that record in its calculations.
Pro: Medical debt carries less weight. A medical emergency is one of the biggest culprits that throw Americans' finances out of whack. In fact, more than half of debt-collection activity comes from medical bills, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has criticized credit models in the past for putting too much weight on medical bills, saying it unfairly punished people for costs that were sometimes out of their control. Indeed, unpaid medical bills plague a large number of Americans: Research shows that about 75 million people have problems paying their medical debt.
RELATED: 7 Reasons You Need an Emergency Fund
Con: It puts lenders at greater risk. Fair Isaac says its new credit score reporting was based in part on research done to determine how likely borrowers with a good credit record—with the exception of settled collections—were to repay their debts. But it still stands to reason that with less-stringent standards come more risk for lenders. After all, if a borrower declares bankruptcy, lenders could kiss those unpaid balances goodbye—and the losses could be absorbed not only by the banks, but also by their customers.
Pro or Con? It widens the door to obtaining loans. Wiping at least some of the slate clean will enable many consumers to get access to loans, or at least to loans with better interest rates. That's a good thing, right? Not necessarily, say some market experts.
After the recession, lending restrictions tightened, allowing only those with stellar credit scores and reports to be approved for things like mortgages and auto loans. With the average household carrying more than $15,000 in credit card debt and $33,000 in student loans, loosening the standards could merely add to the $11.7 trillion in total consumer debt Americans carry.
Of course, one could argue that won't be an issue if we all can use credit a little more responsibly. Here are some ways that using credit can actually help you—and what to do if you want to fix a mistake that could be bringing your score down.

Climbing toward the top of the profitable but precarious credit card market, the Banc One Corporation is expected to announce this morning that it has reached an agreement to buy First USA Inc. for about $7 billion, people familiar with the transaction said last night.
The deal would vault Banc One to rank third in the credit card market, after Citicorp and the MBNA Corporation, with $33 billion in credit card loans.
Banc One is offering about $52 a share for First USA, a premium of about 41 percent more than the company's closing price on Friday. First USA's shares had gained $2.125 Friday to end trading at $36.75 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Executives of both companies have gathered in New York for a presentation to analysts scheduled for this morning, the people familiar with the transaction said. Spokesmen for the two companies could not be reached for comment last night.
It could not be learned last night whether Banc One would use any cash in the deal; the company has paid for past acquisitions with stock. Banc One's shares closed Friday at $45.125, up 12.5 cents.
First USA, based in Dallas, has been one of the fastest-growing credit card issuers in the country, with 16 million customers who owe a total of $22.4 billion on their Mastercard and Visa accounts.
Banc One, based in Columbus, Ohio, was an early pioneer in the credit card business. But like many regional banks, it has lost ground to specialized companies like First USA.
Industry experts said that this deal was likely to spur further consolidation in the credit card industry. Late last year, Citicorp was in talks to acquire the American Express Company, though those discussions seem to be dormant for the moment. And other specialized credit card companies, like the Capital One Financial Corporation, could decide that now is the right time to sell out.
Banc One's proposed acquisition of First USA is bound to be controversial, however. On Friday, First USA shares were already priced at 19 times the company's earnings, far higher than those of most banking companies.
Moreover, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the credit card market. Consumer debt is approaching an all-time high, with a growing number of card holders falling behind on payments. And even though unemployment is at relatively low levels, more than one million households filed for personal bankruptcy last year, the most ever in a single year. Some analysts have predicted that if the economy slows and unemployment rises, losses would soar for credit card issuers.
How First USA would fare in such a downturn is a subject of much industry speculation. The company has grown faster than nearly any other card issuer, increasing its lending by 28 percent last year, and rapid growth is often seen as a precursor to problems in banking.
Yet its management is widely seen as among the most sophisticated in the card industry, and its computerized credit analysis systems are among the most advanced. These systems help First USA pick out the most creditworthy customers in advance and they monitor accounts for early signs of trouble.
In its second quarter, which ended on Dec. 31, First USA said that 5.19 percent of its accounts were delinquent, compared with 5.03 percent in its first quarter. Losses were 4.76 percent of loans, up from 4.49 percent.
First USA's initial growth spurt was built on using its computers to select the most creditworthy customers from the big banks and lure them with gold cards that featured low interest rates. As this tactic became less effective, First USA has moved to ''affiliation cards,'' tying its cards with companies and charities, ranging from the World Wildlife Fund to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Banc One, the nation's 10th-largest banking company, has mostly been on the sidelines of the merger game after a 25-year string of ever-bigger acquisitions that turned it into a national banking powerhouse. The company's stock price was hit by a series of wrongheaded investments involving derivatives in 1993 and by inefficiencies created by its decentralized management structure. Now with the derivatives behind it and a new centralization campaign, Banc One is slowly regaining favor on Wall Street.
Last year, Nationsbank beat Banc One in the bidding for Boatmen's Bancshares, a St. Louis company that was long seen as Banc One's ideal mate. But in December, Banc One did agree to buy the Liberty Bancorporation of Oklahoma City for $546 million in stock.
Also late yesterday, First USA reported earnings for its second quarter that slightly exceeded analyst estimates. Net income for the quarter, which ended on Dec. 31, rose 34 percent, to $79.1 million, or 58 cents a share, from $58.9 million, or 44 cents a share, a year earlier. The average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by I.B.E.S. Inc. was for earnings of 56 cents a share.

A stunning 35-yard goal from defender Joel Lynch helped Huddersfield to a narrow victory over Charlton.
The Wales international fired into the top corner on 65 minutes to add to James Vaughan's 45th-minute opener.
Charlton pulled a goal back when Cameron Stewart rifled a shot off the underside of the bar from the edge of the area with 11 minutes remaining
Chris Powell's visitors dominated the closing stages but were unable to snatch an equaliser.
The two sides were playing each other for the second time in just three weeks, having met at the same ground in a thrilling Capital One Cup second-round tie that Huddersfield edged 3-2.
The second half of this encounter lived up to the excitement of that match, but the first period was short on quality.
Home comforts
Huddersfield are unbeaten on their own turf, and have not lost in seven league games at the John Smith's Stadium, stretching back to the visit of Hull on 30 March
In fact, it was not until the 45th minute that either side managed to register an attempt on target, with Charlton's Simon Church heading straight into the hands of goalkeeper Alex Smithies.
Huddersfield responded with their first attempt on goal a minute later - and it broke the deadlock.
Adam Hammill crossed towards the far post, where Vaughan headed home.
Charlton, helped by some wayward defending, provided much more of an attacking threat after the restart and could count themselves unlucky when an on-target Johnnie Jackson effort struck team-mate Marvin Sordell in the area and deflected harmlessly wide.
Instead, Huddersfield extended their lead as Lynch's perfectly placed long-range strike flew beyond the despairing dive of Charlton keeper Ben Hamer and into the top corner.
The visitors, yet to win away from home this season, set up a tense finish through Stewart's powerful drive but despite dominating late on, they could not find a second goal.
Huddersfield manager Mark Robins:
"It was an even game I think - the difference was a wonder strike from Joel Lynch. I am surprised it did not go through the net he hit it so well.
"We did well in spells. It was a little bit pedestrian but it is early days, you are not going to get the finished article straight away.
"I thought we were better in the second half and controlled it more. I am pleased with the three points because it gives everyone a lift."
Charlton manager Chris Powell:
"It was a patchy first half from both teams but conceding the goal when we did put us on the back foot. It was a good response from us in the second half but you can't legislate for a wonder goal.
"We were certainly the side I felt pushed more in the second half but Huddersfield saw it out. However you earn your points in the Championship, they are always well earned.
"It is frustrating. I've had a good response from the players recently after an indifferent start. I'll take some positives from the defeat. As long as we recover and don't get too downhearted about this evening it will be all systems go for Millwall on Saturday."

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Last Rise of Heroes [DOWNLOAD NOW] |
topic by jayvivz - 12-13-2008, 05:59 AM
Get ready, true believers! The crossover series of the millenium is back with [picture /join BX to view] Last Rise of Heroes
RAR Pass: bxgs [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] [picture /join BX to view] iight, enough of the hype. time to say what's gotta be said bout this. first off i gotta get the legal sh*t out the way. i take NO CREDIT WHATSOEVER for any of the material in this game. the screen packs, logos, music, etc. are designed by "Draco and DAFAMILY" so all credit for the game's design goes to them. all these characters are based on characters copyrighted and owned by Marvel and Capcom. every stage is owned by the respective company of which the game that the stage is from comes from. every character was ported into MUGEN by their respective persons (idk how to word). the credit to every character in this MUGEN can be found in their folders within the "chars" folder. i know this is a lot of retarded wording, but worst come to worst, i don't want dudes that put in all this amazing work for free to think that i'm pretending like i created this on my own because, again, i had nothing to do with the creation of this beyond the organization of characters and stages. all i did was download the characters and stages and put them together into the game. the game should and WILL run perfectly on your computer so long as you do what you're supposed to (just extract the folder, run the "Marvel Vs Capcom 3 - Last Rise of Heroes.exe" and you're good to go), but i and nobody else take responsibility for anything that may happen when downloading, playing, or editing this game yourself. remember, you're downloading at your own risk. i hate to say it like that cuz it makes it sound like something bad will happen, but the game should work perfectly (for a MUGEN at least). next, here are some important things you need to know about this MUGEN before you even download it:

that pretty much comes with the territory. the creators and programmers can only work with the best of what they got which is basically old sprites. who knows though, maybe now with HD Remix out they might be able to use those sprites if they could find a way to rip em, but so far this is basically as good as it gets.

how do you use special moves in this?...and what are the keys for gameplay?
| |
12-13-2008, 07:29 PM | away - #18 | |
Q=Low Punch A=Medium Punch Z=High Punch W=Low Kick S=Medium Kick X=High Kick you can change em in the Options menu if you just go to Input Config. to do specials it depends on the character, but for every character it's either gonna be like in the Marvel Vs. Capcom series or like Street f!ghter Alpha style. meaning that it'll be some kind of combination of Down+Forward+Down+Forward+P or K or something like that (that's the Alpha style), or it'll be like Down+Forward+2P or 2K. and even for some characters they'll have so many specials that it'll be both. if you don't understand what i mean then you can always look at the move list for most characters by going to the "chars" folder, going the character's corresponding folder (some are named really weird so it might be hard to find who you want) and opening the ReadMe file in there. not saying it's like that for every character, but most have them so you can see all their moves. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MOVE, DELETE, OR EDIT ANYTHING IN THE CHARS FOLDER CUZ IT MIGHT fu*k UP UR MUGEN. | ||

my green cheek beaks came to me quite rough and dry looking, much like how a cockatoos beaks if often dry looking. is there anything I can do to give him a nice and smooth beak again? if it is not causing him pain or bad for him i don't mind it doesn't affect me but it just looks like it would be annoying or something.
like how macaws often have dry beaks? is it normal? is there some sort of parrot moisturizer? lols thanks |
Re: how to keep birds beak nice and smooth?
First of all, be sure that your bird is consuming adequate amounts of calcium and other minerals. Allowing your bird to eat the shell of a hard-boiled egg is a great source of natural calcium.
Secondly, you can try to treat it topically by massaging a very small dab of extra virgin olive oil, palm oil or coconut oil on your bird's beak. These oils are safe, but as they are a bit fatty, only use a small dab so as to minimize ingestion. Never use any sort of moisturizers that a human would use on your bird. As a general rule of thumb, they should all be considered unsafe. Maybe something to read: HolisticBird and HolisticBirds

Re: how to keep birds beak nice and smooth?
I was told that it can be a sign of a mineral deficiency. Puck came to me with a dry-looking beak, but I improved his diet (he was on seeds and "fruit loop" pellets, with some people food). I got him some fancy pellets and fancy fresh/frozen parrot food, and I've been feeding him a lot of fruit.
I've only had him a few weeks, but I think it's starting to grow out. He likes the healthier food just as much as the seeds, and I didn't even have to wean him off them or anything. |

Panda Internet Security 2010
Panda Internet Security 2010 : Main Screen
Like most modern security suites, Panda Internet Security 2010 displays a main screen with status information about its various security modules and quick links to change settings and launch scans.
1 / 28
Bottom Line
Panda Internet Security 2010 has less impact on system performance than its predecessor, and it's more effective at blocking phishing sites and removing malware. Otherwise, it's unchanged. I had serious problems getting it to install and run on some malware-infested systems, just like last year. But if you're installing on a clean system it can be a good choice.

Expert review of Sadler
Sadler's has been one of the great restaurant names in Milan for some years, proud holder of two Michelin stars. Perhaps it was a mark that the area around the Naviglio Grande canal had finally arrived when, in 2007, chef Claudio Sadler picked up his knives and moved to a new location where he could run two restaurants side by side. He now has a single kitchen serving the formal evening-only Sadler and Chic 'n' Quick – which does what it says on the tin.
In spite of the name, Claudio Sadler is Italian. His food, however, borrows freely from around the world and is international haute cuisine rather than being rooted in any one tradition. The menu changes with the season, with dishes such as 'interpretation of raw fish – Italian sashimi' or baked duck with sweet grapes, persimmons, cocoa, carrot sauce and goose-liver escalope.
Sadler has four separate dining areas offering smaller more intimate spaces, the mix of pale beige and dark wood offering a strong, modern masculine feel to the decor.
A great blend of the expert and informal. You are quite likely to meet the great man himself, or one of the many up and coming stars of Italian cuisine who pass through the kitchens hoping that some of his magic might rub off.
The restaurant is a little off the beaten track, in the Navigli district to the south of the city centre, but it's worth making the effort to get there.
Sadler's has a Grand Menu of the Day, heftily priced at 130 euros for four courses. At the time of my visit, it was celebrating the white truffle. The food is almost as good and infinitely cheaper at Chic 'n' Quick next door.
Sadler has a private dining room overlooking the kitchen for between six to twelve guests, available as an exclusive booking.
