Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Carotid Artery Disease
A carotid artery on each side of the neck supplies blood to the brain. Carotid artery disease occurs when a substance called plaque builds up in either or both arteries. The buildup can narrow the artery and reduce the blood flow to your brain. This can raise your chance of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
The narrowing in an artery is called stenosis. The more narrow an artery becomes, the greater the risk of stroke or TIA.
This disease develops in the same way as coronary artery disease.
Plaque can build up in the arteries in your body over time. This buildup is often called "hardening" of the arteries. Plaque may form because:
Many people have no symptoms. For some people, a TIA or stroke is the first sign of the disease.
If you have any of these symptoms of a TIA or stroke, call 911 or other emergency services right away.
Stenosis may be found during a physical exam. Your doctor may listen to your neck for a sound called a bruit (pronounced "broo-EE"). This whooshing sound is often heard when a carotid artery is narrowed.
If your doctor thinks you may have stenosis, you will have a Doppler ultrasound. This test uses sound waves to show how blood flows through an artery or vein. You also may have a CT angiogram or a magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA).
Routine tests for carotid artery disease are not recommended for everyone. Experts recommend them only for people who have symptoms.1
Some companies sell ultrasound screening at shopping malls or other places. But insurance doesn't pay for these tests because they are not recommended by experts. Plus, your doctor isn't involved in prescribing the test. So he or she isn't there to explain the results to you. It's a good idea to talk to your doctor before having one of these tests.
The goal of treatment is to lower your risk of a TIA or a stroke. Treatment depends on whether you have symptoms and how much of your arteries are blocked. You probably will take medicine. You also will be encouraged to make healthy lifestyle changes. Some people have procedures to increase blood flow in the arteries.
Most people who have carotid artery disease—or are at risk for it—will take aspirin or another medicine to prevent blood clots. If you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, you will take medicine for those problems.
A heart-healthy diet and regular exercise can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. This can reduce your risk of stroke as well as heart disease.
If you have some stenosis—but you don't have symptoms—your doctor may want you to have routine ultrasounds. This is to see if the narrowing in your arteries is getting worse.
Surgery in the arteries is called carotid endarterectomy. The doctor makes a cut in the neck and takes the plaque out of the artery.
Some people have a procedure called stenting. A doctor threads a thin tube through an artery in the groin and up to the carotid artery in the neck. Then he or she uses a tiny balloon to enlarge the narrowed part of the artery and places a stent to keep the artery open.
Surgery and stenting have a risk of serious problems, such as stroke or heart attack. People who are at increased risk for problems from surgery or stenting include those who have severe heart disease or other serious health problems. You and your doctor can decide together if you should have a procedure.

Presence of innovation also does not mean its academic. Academic = supported by academic instance such as university.
2) Earlier point invalidated. I am not an extremist either, but I see closed source as enemy, because it inserts a lot of blackboxes requiring one-sided trust. Trust is a weakness. That means, closed source is much lower quality from my perspective, but it is not so criminal that it should be prohibited.
3) GPL protection = freedom protection. BSD = no protection, only advertizement = value of something written on public wall. If someone dislikes 1st, but likes 2nd so much that he carries a migration, that one clearly does not want freedom protected. Single goal - they want to relicence it later, and thus invalidate BSD license anyway. Call Apple as I requested earlier on opinion about GPL. The answer will be "GPL is too limiting (... freedom to relicence, ie remove original license)". There are no other exceptions. This happened by BSD folks themselves, so BSD is favoring anti-free. With BSD license stripped, there is no BSD - only EULA. With GPL, there is GPL and hence its conditions (freedoms) further apply. Fact.
BSD goal was to support companies, but not *any companies*, rather closed source companies.
Because, otherway they would use GPL to actually stand behind their advertized freedoms.***
1) they dont
2) they cooperate A LOT with Apple
*** Single possible exception would be "We don't care enough to switch".
With recent migration from GPLv3 to BSD for everything, they have invalidated this point.
Simple short licenses are *the* source of trouble, because they are not detailed and can be bent the way one sees fit.
Ask any lawyer!
GPL license is detailed, lacks excessive complexity and had maintained general direction since its first version: "To advertize and to protect four freedoms".
Note 2: Copyleft does not prevent proprietary companies to use its code. Copyleft prevents them to lock that specific code up.
Note 3: 'Copycenter' hence is worthless
Note 4: In 2012, the 'copycenter' will not work due to patents. Copying anything as in "putting fire with more gasoline" does not work anymore, as gasoline becomes patented.
Note 5: Even in 1999 Berkley's 'copycenter' was inefficient and underpowered due to n1&2, with even its supporters fighting for a few copies in order to just lock them down.
You associated freedom with anarchy and continue to do so even after multiple corrections. This is your second lie.
Licenses are constructed in a way, to be understood completely and unambiguously. Your interpretations of "TO ME" or "TO EVERYONE" do not matter - this is your third lie. Even every sane country has constitution, first declarations of which protect freedom. And NOT anarchy.
Linus made a mistake by using "GPL2" instead of recommended "GPL2 or later" and is now unable to gather all approvals for all the contributions in order to replace that with "GPLv3" or later". GPL stayed inline with the policy, by patching an exploit that prevented to use the four freedoms, so its perfectly fine to accept "GPL2 or later", even copyright assignments would be excessive as they introduce much bigger exploit, allowing to relicense all the code under *any* license.
And invalidation is not valid, because every human research is emotional. Humans tend to *strive* for goals. I doubt robots do the research in Berkley. And if one simply wants to publish an invention, one does declarative publication under public domain. Why BSD license? My understanding is that BSD license allows copyright declaration, which is lucrative if one seeks a company to monetize the development and has his copyright mentioned everywhere. The further development is then taken into EULA and original project either aborted (pre 2000) or completely forbidden to use and develop (post 2000 due to patenting).
GNU goal was to create guaranteed freedom operating system. Even today, they pursue the goal with Hurd, as Linux has accepted blobs in kernel; just like all xBSD. Yes, ofc Linux can be built without blobs as well as xBSD, but the difference is that GNU does not accept *any* closed source components within operating system limits, protecting from worked the AT&T exploit. In userspace, one can run whatever he wants; in kernelspace currently, if Nvidia strips its binary driver, Linux is left without any full-featured graphics stack. There are no binding agreements between Linux Foundation and Nvidia to my knowledge and I am sure there *are* agreements between Microsoft and Nvidia for that matter, although very likely subject to NDA. The goal of GNU was to write an OS that can't be broken or taken back all of the sudden, and thus they are on the right track.
If you dislike the license - do not use it.
If you do not understand the license - read their FAQ and ask them questions.
They have kept their line since version 1.0 of the license, that is "guarantee of availability of the four freedoms". Incremented license revisions just added more details and patched the exploits, ie improved fitness of the license to match the goals. Nothing more.
Linus is a living person, so he may have own opinion on topic, which does not qualify to be true. For example, he gave Nvidia a finger for refusing to opensource their graphics blob (which is paared only with Nvidia cards) while stating he is not a gamer (ie user of this case).
Specifically, in the article:
GNU: updated license patched known exploit that prevented use of four freedoms. Stayed true to its vector.
Linus: called that "doesn't match what I think"(1), stated ".. is morally"(2), stated "I think..."(3), stated "it is okay to control people's hardware"(4), stated "religious fanatics"(5), stated "... and totalitarian states"(6).
(1)&(3) - invalid, because subjective opinion. Requires objectively formulated policy instead.
(2) - invalid word in scope of jurisdiction, this word belongs to religion and is subjective.
(4)&(6) - self-excluding and self-contradicting
(5) - applied to (2) makes Linus himself religious fanatic. Without application, does not belong to jurisdictional scope - laws are not prayers, lawyers are not religious fanatics.
What Linus do is to damage himself. GPL guarantees four freedoms and seeks basement in local laws, local laws may require censorship of content for children. GPLv3 will hence have no power, trying to allow children utilize four freedoms in order to watch 18+ movie. So, Linus should not worry about GPLv3 as his children will be safe and will not be able to sue him.
If someone appears or acts, this condition is broken as he will bring own agenda favouring something over another.
Anarchy is incompatible with any life form, but is good for raw base material.
Torvalds disagreement is because he is indirectly payed by TiVO, who earn money selling devices, that exploit GPL, invalidating granted freedoms.
GPL backfired patching the case, Torvalds sobed. Instead, he should have developed the way to sell the devices in question, without breaking user rights. He should have seen it and not cooperated with both the robbers and the police.
Presence of innovation is precisely what academy is all about... that is what research really is, and that is what was going on with BSD Unix with support from DARPA; they were doing research, i.e innovating. GNU has never been academic.
2) Point keeps valid; BSD was born as a research project, while GNU was born as an anti-proprietary project.
Now, let me ask you something. When you fly a plain, do you ask the engineers for the 'source code' of the plane? do you ask civil engineers for the 'source code' of the building you live at? do you ask your car manufacturer for the 'source code' of the car your life depends on? So, why is software so special?
3) As I said, if BSD is favoring anti-free (assuming this is true, based on what you think freedom should be), this is only a side effect; as pointed earlier, BSD and its whole licensing comes from academy and the interest for giving a free Unix to the world. I value all the efforts from the BSD folks, unlike you. Now, I don't believe BSD is favoring anti-free, because I believe that BSD gives you the 'freedom' to decide what ultimately freedom means to you. No, I don't think it is anarchy.
Therefore you are the closest to lying; you are making assumptions you shouldn't.
Again, BSD represents freedom to me, while GPL represents absolutism, totalitarism, etc. I don't care if GPL contains the word 'freedom' in it.
I think that, as academics, they were primarily interested in innovation; they were doing top-class research for DOD. Obviously there were different times, and you have to acknowledge this. They probably wanted their work to be free, but weren't interested in licensing or political issues; they were too busy doing research. But to say that while doing research they were thinking about helping (non-yet existant) proprietary companies, and thinking about how they could be more anti-free is just lame, EXTREMELY lame.
"Freedom is ability to do things unrestricted. Using this freedom to restrict the freedom = remove freedom is anti-freedom act."
I think this is a valid proposition, although it is debatable. First, if freedom really is the ability to do things unrestricted, and given that what you call "freedom remove" is not fundamentally different from doing any other thing, according to your definition, removing freedom is part of your freedom. This, of course, assuming that freedom indeed is what you claim, which I doubt.
Now, you must consider the following: a BSD-licensed software IS FREE; it is there and will always be there, independent of a company taking it to do some closed work. So, where is the freedom taken away, if the original code is (and will always be) available? What the company is doing is making use of the freedom of the code to make their own closed-source product, but that, in no way, removes the freedom (availability, if you wish), of the original code.
Same goes for BSD: Don't like it, don't use it.
I don't believe in the so called "four freedoms", so I don't believe GPL aims for freedom.
Now, if your answer to any disagreement about this is "then you are an anarchist", you are just applying the same totalitarism/absolutism as FSF/Stallman, hence you are far from knowing what freedom really
No, it is not; I pursue freedom.
Again, I do not defend anarchy.
So let's see here, the otherwise-unknown art of text buffer management that emacs brought to the table, ALL of the work on gcc, the innovations in bash, guile's advances in dynamic language design, these things are not research??? Remember that all this stuff happened back in the 80's when Apple IIs were the desktop computer and MS-DOS was "state of the art".
And GNU has never been academic? Are you talking about the project that was started in a university research laboratory? The project that was nutured for many years by a tenured college professor? The project which employs mostly college students to do the grunt work? The project whose results are used for research and education all over the globe? This project has NEVER been academic?
WOW and you expect anyone to take you seriously?
anybody who thinks that gnu was not doing "research" they are clearly delusional
why don't you go back to 1986. Get yourself a nice sized text file, say a megabyte or two. Yeah, it's WAY bigger than your machine's available physical memory, back in 1986. Now I would like you to try to open and edit this document with ANY text editor program that was available in 1986.
you will find to your vast chagrin that emacs will be the ONLY editor that will edit this file that is bigger than your physical memory. tell us more about gnu does no research.
When I say research I mean: first, the purpose of the project and second, effectively the research-level things its development brought.
If GNU started at the University it doesn't necessarilly imply it was conceived for academic purposes; indeed it was not.
Rewriting user-space tools and a kernel isn't research either, even if done by students. Linux is also used as base system for doing research. This doesn't mean Linux is an academic project. The same goes for GNU.
But BSD was the system that connected to world; this was possible due to research.
If you consider the "innovations in bash" a research-level project, do you expect anyone to take you seriously?
I am talking about BUFFER MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUE which was NOT AVAILABLE in editors like VI at the time. If you tried to use vi to edit a file bigger than RAM, it would just FAIL with an out-of-memory error BECAUSE THERE WAS NO VIRTUAL MEMORY!!! However emacs was VERY CLEVER in this reduced memory situation and could edit this file.
By the way, I LOVE how you assume that virtual memory was everywhere in 1986! Back in that time, virtual memory was not considered to be a real solution to anything at all. In order to have virtual memory you needed to purchase additional hardware that cost even more than the CPU and used more power than the CPU. It inserted wait states into your memory fetch cycles and it slowed your computer way down. Virtual memory was considered to be the "lazy way out" for people who were too stupid to fix their software.
Back in those days of 4 MHz processors and 250 ns memory cycle times, you needed lots of cleverness and RESEARCH if you wanted your program to run in any kind of sane manner. You couldn't just wait until next year and buy a faster machine, progress was much slower then.

How thick are you...
Any way, I admire and value what the GNU folks have accomplished, but my point was that the GNU system wasn't meant to be a research-level system; its purpose was to provide a free Unix. Ok, so they did interesting things, maybe I wouldn't call that research, maybe you would. But in that respect, BSD and GNU were fundamentally different in that BSD was born as a research system.
Last edited by Sergio; 02-12-2013 at 04:36 PM.
I have in front of me at the moment, a copy of the famous "Chine Nual", dated 1984. The preface to this document is the VERY FIRST PUBLIC MENTION of the gnu project:the GNU system wasn't meant to be a research-level system
"I believe that the commercialization of computer software has harmed the spirit which enabled such systems to be developed. Now I am attempting to build a software-sharing movement to revive that spirit from near oblivion"
WHAT is the "spirit" that develops systems??? It is RESEARCH! HELLO! What else is it?
and DO YOU SEE YOUR ERROR? You see GNU as a software project. It's NOT a software project. It's a project to invigorate software design. It's a project to get people thinking, to stir their brain cells and be better. YOU think it's about the software.
And by the way, WHAT DO YOU THINK HURD IS FOR, ANYWAY?? Do you REALLY think the developers have any intention of "shipping a software product"??? Hurd is a learning experience, it's a RESEARCH PROJECT, it's a sandbox for new ideas and experiments. It spins off ideas like FUSE that get integrated into other things.

Romney Affirms He's Against Auto Industry Recovery He Claimed He Was For
Romney Tonight: No Federal Assistance To Auto Companies. "Should they have used the funds to bail out General Motors and Chrysler? No, that was the wrong source for that funding." [Bloomberg Debate, 10/11/11]
Romney: An Auto Bailout Would "Kiss The Automotive Industry Goodbye." "If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won't go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course — the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses. Detroit needs a turnaround, not a check." [Romney Op-Ed, New York Times, 11/19/08]
- ROMNEY OP-ED HEADLINE: "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" [Romney Op-Ed, New York Times, 11/19/08]
- Romney Said He's Got Cars In His Bloodstream And Would Develop A Plan To Rebuild The Auto Industry If President. Romney said, "I`ve got Michigan in my DNA. I got it in my heart and I`ve got cars in my bloodstream. If I`m president of this country, I will roll up my sleeves in the first 100 days I`m in office and I will personally bring together industry, labor, congressional and state leaders. And together we will develop a plan to rebuild America`s automotive leadership." [MSNBC, Tucker, 1/16/08]
- Romney: I'm Not Willing To Say "Too Bad For Michigan, Too Bad For The Car Industry." I'm not willing to sit back and say, `Too bad for Michigan, too bad for the--bad for car industry, too bad for the people who've lost their jobs. They're gone forever.' [NBC News, Today, 1/15/08]

Here's What the Average American Family Can Buy with $10,000
December 11, 2011 at 9:36 PM
In tonight's Iowa Debate Mitt Romney casually offered a $10,000 bet, after calling a $1,500 tax break for the middle class a band-aid. Mitt Romney may not know what $10,000 means to middle class families, but here's what the average American family can buy with $10,000:
Romney and Gingrich would start aid to Israel at zero
December 11, 2011 at 9:34 PM
While both Romney and Gingrich claim they'd support and defend Israel, they've both advocated for starting foreign aid at zero, including Israel. And a fundraiser for Romney served as a lobbyist for the Arab Bank, which was investigated by the Treasury Department for funneling money to Palestinian terrorists. Their records stand in stark contrast to President Obama, who has constantly demonstrated his unshakeable commitment to Israel's security and well-being, strengthening the unbreakable bond between our two nations. In both word and deed, the President has signaled to the world that the US‐Israel relationship is stronger than ever.
Romney's Radical Move to the Right on Immigration
December 11, 2011 at 9:19 PM
On immigration, Mitt Romney's position is the most far-right of the Republican field. Tonight, he once again highlighted his extreme plan and said, "My own view is, those 11 million should register the fact they're here in the country. They should give some transition period of time, allow them settle their affairs and then return home and get in line at the back of the line with everybody else that wants to come here." With plans like this, it's clear that Romney is continuing his race to the right and taking his place as one of the most extreme presidential candidates in American history on immigration.
Romney's Health Care Plan Served as Model for the Affordable Care Act
December 11, 2011 at 9:13 PM
First, Romney said his health care plan in Massachusetts would be a model for the nation. Then, he flip flopped and said it shouldn't. In reality, the national health reform law that Romney has vowed to repeal was based on Romney's plan in Massachusetts.
Romney and Gingrich have embraced policies bad for the middle class but good for the wealthiest
December 10, 2011 at 9:00 PM
Both Romney and Gingrich claim their policies are good for the American middle class. But the reality is the economic plans they've embraced slash taxes on corporations and the wealthiest Americans and do nearly nothing for the middle class.
Gingrich tries to rewrite his lobbyist history
December 10, 2011 at 8:52 PM
In 2007, Gingrich Praised The Freddie Mac Business Model And Warned Against Changing It, In Direct Contrast With His Current Assertion That He Warned The Mortgage Company Of Its "Insane" Business Practices.
If a $1500 middle class tax cut is a little band-aid, then why does Romney's plan only offer $54?
December 10, 2011 at 8:40 PM
First, Romney was against extending the payroll tax cut because it was a "temporary little Band-Aid." Then, he said he'd "like to see the payroll tax cut extended" because it helps American families. And tonight, he again called the payroll tax cut a "little Band-Aid." His flip-flopping on the payroll tax cut - and his economic plan - shows middle-class Americans whose side he's really on. And if $1500 for the average American family is a "little Band-Aid," then why does his plan only give them $54?
Romney Flip-Flopped on being tough on China
December 10, 2011 at 8:18 PM
Tonight, Mitt Romney said that we need to have trade policies that make sense for America, not just for the people with whom we trade. This President has not done that. And China, who has been cheating, has to be cracked down on.
Romney has flip-flopped repeatedly on Afghanistan
November 22, 2011 at 10:17 PM
Romney can't make up his mind on what his strategy would be in Afghanistan. First, he wouldn't say what he'd do. Then in January, he said it was his "desire" not to leave Afghanistan. Five months later, he claimed he wanted the troops to come home as soon as possible.
Romney flip-flopped on zero based budgeting for aid to Israel
November 22, 2011 at 10:17 PM
Romney and the rest of the Republican field support zeroing out foreign aid, even with our closest allies – including Israel. But in true Romney fashion, after he supported zeroing out aid to Israel, he flip flopped and said he wanted to increase it instead. And at tonight's debate, he said his first foreign trip as president would be to Israel to demonstrate our strong relationship.

September 23, 2011 at 9:59 AM

Rick Perry's Texas: Health Care Is More Expensive, Harder To Find
September 22, 2011 at 10:53 PM
Rick Perry can try to blame others for the state of health care in Texas, but middle-class Texans know the reality: Under Governor Perry's policies, health insurance premiums have risen 105 percent, nearly 6.5 million Texans are uninsured, and the state has spent as little as possible on health care.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RCjoon This is one of the best coffees ever! I found this coffee on the Tassimo website by chance. It is the same coffee we drank in Switzerland when I was there. It has such a fine taste and a beautiful foam on top. It is the same brand we bought in Europe but in disc its even better. I just don't understand why Tassimo is not promoting and carrying this coffee anymore. Its the best coffee I have ever had in the US. May 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Prlee This coffee is just OK Not what I thought I was getting. The cream is built in to the t-cup, not seperate, so the effect is minimual. Taste good, OK, nothing exceptional. I would consider others, won't buy again. April 27, 2014

Late Models Return Weekly in 2013
February 3- N.E.W. DIRT officials announced that for the first time since the 2008 season, Late Models will again be part of the weekly Sunday night racing programs at the Seymour Speedway.
Jeff Curtain made a pitch to the club to sanction the FAST TRACK Late Models weekly. Club officials decided to give the division a try for 2013. The FAST TRACKS need a 12 show season to qualify for their Nationals, and the group is looking forward to running the banked 1/3 mile oval at Seymour.
The past 4 seasons, the late models have run here under WDLMA rules for the Spring Thaw and the three race Holiday Classic series. That will be the same program for this season. The regular weekly races will be run under FAST TRACK rules.
This will make the weekly programs six divisions strong, with the FAST TRACK Late Models joining the IMCA sanctioned Modifieds, Stock Cars and Sport Mods along with the Street Stocks and 4 Cylinders.
Because of the added division, the weekly racing programs will start at 5 PM for 2013.
For more information, contact club President, Tom Schmidt at 920-843-1345.

Each year 1800 places are available under this scheme allowing young citizens of the Republic of Korea to stay in New Zealand for up to 12 months.
The quota opened on 11 April 2014 and is now full. Further places will become availabe in April 2015.
Applications for this scheme must be made online by following the link below. You will need a valid Visa or Mastercard credit card. This is the only way to pay for your online application.
However, before you apply, please read the following important information.
You must:
If you are already in New Zealand you also need to hold a valid temporary visa.
*You are required to hold sufficient funds for the duration of your visit and for the purchase of an outward ticket from New Zealand. Such evidence may be requested on arrival at the border.
You will need to meet our health requirements for temporary entry to New Zealand.
Note: Our Working Holiday Schemes Online system will tell you whether you need to send us a completed Medical and/or X-ray Certificate, and, if so, how to do it when you submit your application. This is based on the maximum length of stay that you are allowed under your country's working holiday scheme (not your intended stay), along with your responses to our health requirement questions.
A Chest X-ray Certificate (INZ 1096) is required: If you are applying from outside New Zealand you will be required to provide a Chest X-ray Certificate (INZ 1096) PDF [280KB] within 20 consecutive days of your application being submitted. You will receive full instructions in an automated e-mail shortly after submitting your application.
It will save you time if you book an appointment for your chest X-ray with a radiologist on our approved list of panel physicians before you apply. Please note that making an appointment for a chest X-ray will not guarantee you a place. If you are not able to successfully lodge an application, the onus is on you to cancel the appointment.
Once you have successfully submitted your application, please do as follows:
If you have already provided this certificate with a previous application or are applying in New Zealand, and if a General Medical Certificate (INZ 1007) PDF [474KB] and/or Chest X-ray Certificate (INZ 1096) PDF [280KB] is required, you will receive full instructions in an automated e-mail shortly after submitting your application.
You will need to meet our character requirements for temporary entry to New Zealand.
Note: If we do have concerns about your character and require additional information, such as a police certificate, the processing of your application may be delayed.
Please note: New Zealand law prohibits any person on a temporary visa including a Working Holiday Scheme work visa from providing commercial sexual services, or operating or investing in a business which provides such services.
Like all New Zealand workers, you will need an IRD number so that your employer can deduct tax from your earnings at the correct rate. In New Zealand, you pay tax on a pay as you earn (PAYE) basis. This means that there should not be a large refund or an amount to pay when you leave. For more information see Inland Revenue's Travelling to New Zealand webpage [external link].
Applications under this Working Holiday Scheme must be made online by going to our login page. On this page you can register for and access the Working Holiday Scheme online application system.

I don't get it, does it affect ATI/AMD every card, or just cards < r600 ?
The only games I have that impose a significant OpenGL load are Scorched3d, Critter (load due to high framerate) and 0ad(mostly CPU limited except at the very start). I don't have the games usually benchmarked, so a kernel regression not affecting these games could be present and I would not see it
xorg is a poor graphic server. how long for wayland!? regressiona are unnerving.
here is a tutorial . It's for the kernel, not X, but the commands would be the same.
For my own purposes it is enough to run the xserver used by Ubuntu 13.10 with current Mesa from the Oibaf PPA and the current kernel from PPA. For Canonical, however, they need to either get this fixed upstream, patch it themselves, or do as I am doing and reuse the older X server. Otherwise an LTS version of Ubuntu (14.04) will appear where proprietary drivers give no more performance than Mesa did a year ago, and Mesa performance is half what is used to be. Debian will get this too-as will any Steamboxes built on that version. I can't imagine they will be dumb enough to let this happen now that they have been made aware that the regression exists. Possible they might miss it here on Phoronix.
This is a guess, but since the first version of X exhibiting the terrible performance was the first version to use DRI3, that might be related to the problem. On the other hand, going to a non-compositing window manager did not help at all, don't know if that has any bearing on it.

Moo Goo Gai Pan
Aside from all the wonderful BBQ I get to enjoy every summer, I like the long daylight hours where I get to spend more time outdoors playing with my son, shopping, and getting chores done. When the heat cools down, I like to cook a simple one-pot meal before turning in. Summertime for me is all about preparing easy, delicious one-pot meals (more time having fun outside!) that is convenient for a late night dinner or supper and still have leftovers for for lunch the next day. However, it really doesn't matter what season it is, I've always been a big fan of comfort foods and Moo Goo Gai Pan is just one of them! If you have not heard of Moo Goo Gai Pan, it's a popular chicken and mushroom dish commonly found in most Chinese take-outs, Chinese buffets in the Midwest (during my college days), the East Coast, and the Southern states of America.
Moo Goo Gai Pan is actually a classic Chinese stir-fry dish. It's a popular Cantonese version of a simple chicken and mushroom dish stir-fried in a tasty white sauce. In the Cantonese dialect, Moo Goo means mushroom and Gai Pan means chicken slices. Chicken and mushroom are always a great combination. Once again, it's another delicious, easy to prepare one-pot meal that has made its mark in many Asian households throughout America. The American-Chinese version of Moo Goo Gai Pan however, has a slightly different take. Sharing the same tasty white sauce, the overall dish is more vibrant and filled with more colorful vegetables than the classic Cantonese version. Snow peas, carrots, bamboo shoot slices, and sometimes baby corn and water chestnut slices are added to the dish.

Moo goo gai pan, another American favorite. Keep'em coming!
I love chicken & mushroom stir-fry's. Great combo :)
Thank you for sharing this recipe. :)
Is it okay to sub shaoxing wine with rice sake? – my local store (koreana plaza) chaps recommended it – since they didn't have shaoxing (or any rice wine really) available at the time i was looking.
I suppose you can use cooking Sake in place of Shaoxing, since the recipe calls for a small amount. Else, just cook a small batch with Sake and see how you like it.
I do stir fry often, but this is the first time I marinated the chicken in egg white- it all came out great! I was worried the sauce and seasoning were a bit light-handed, but everything was balanced and light. Thanks for the recipe and new trick! Yum!
Interesting how you can emulate a popular Chinese dish such as Moo Goo Gai Pan without having to worry about your waistline. Thanks for sharing this.
This looks far better than anything I've seen come out of a take out container! Simple and delicious- would be great with Shiitake Mushrooms!

Star Pirates
Star Pirates is a text based browser MMO with a heavy emphasis on PvP. Players can gamble, mine, upgrade their ships, research more powerful weapons, and most importantly, work together to form Fleets. With Earth destroyed, the skies belong to no one, former space miners stationed on asteroids must now fight simply to survive.
Publisher: Snakehead Games
Playerbase: Low
Graphics: Low
Type: MMO
EXP Rate: Low
PvP: Open
Filesize: N/A
Pros: +Will run on almost any machine. +Can be played in short bursts throughout the day. +Form Fleets and Armadas for mutual protection.
Cons: -Paying players receive large advantages. -Tends to open lots of tabs needlessly. -No sense of direction.
Star Pirates Overview
Star Pirates is set in a dystopian future where the Earth has been destroyed, leaving space miners who had been stationed in the Asteroids to fend for themselves. Like BiteFight and Gladiatus, Star Pirates is a predominantly text based game. While this means it has low system requirements, it does leave the game looking very dated. Like most browser based games, Star Pirates is meant to be played in short bursts throughout the day. There are a variety of activities that can only be performed every so often including the daily slot machine, hourly debris collection, periodic salvaging forays depending on fuel supply, and research when energy and research points permit.

Discussing: August 2012 Birthday Cards
August 2012 Birthday Cards
Message: 54776
29 Jul 12 1:45 AM
Original Post
General Audience
Birthday folks: Is your birthday in August and you would be delighted by a little story gift from your fellow HASA members? Then state your request here in this thread. To collect your birthday cards in one place, you can create a birthday workshop story.
Authors: Let yourselves get inspired by the suggestions - a chance to be creative and to make a fellow HASA member happy at the same time! Just like the recipients, you can collect the stories you've written in a birthday workshop story.
And don't forget to add your birthday cards to the 2012 Birthday Cards Challenge.
Here's a short recap on how to do that:
- Add each birthday present as a chapter in your story, using the story name (and the birthday recipient if there is room) as the story chapter. If you can't fit the person's name into the chapter title, just include it as the first opening line in the chapter.
- Be sure you give each chapter a number and set the status to public so everyone can read it!
- Since most birthday card stories are pretty short, you might include the birthday recipient's wish for what kind of story she wanted. Paste it from the forum.
- In your story summary, you can list out who you've written stories for if you like.
- It's up to you on the order you want to give your chapters - Alphabetical by recipient, order by month chronologically, newest first, etc.
In case you need help or have a comment, question or suggestion, please post it here or send me an e-mail - I'll do my best to help.
August, 4th - Anglachel: My birthday was on August 4th. I want a story about Smaug before we meet him in The Hobbit. As an inspiration, here is what he says about himself:
'Revenge!' [Smaug] snorted, and the light of his eyes lit the the hall from floor to ceiling like scarlet lightning. 'Revenge! The King under the Mountain is dead and where are his kin that dare seek revenge? Girion Lord of Dale is dead, and I have eaten his people like a wolf among sheep, and where are his sons' sons that dare approach me? I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong, strong, Thief in the Shadows!' he gloated.

I have a question about posting to the Challenge. I keep my drabbles (birthdays and others) collected in one story, which goes back to 2007 (and 2007 birthdays) and which I intend to split when it reaches fifty drabbles. Can I just enter that for the Challenge, even if it contains stories from other years as well?

Hi Nath,
I can't/won't give you a definitive, categorical answer, but I think it would be better if you had the stories separate by year. Otherwise, it would be too confusing and unclear, and could become even more so with subsequent years and challenges.
You could create a playlist for each year and enter that into the challenge accordingly. In fact, IMO, a playlist would be ideal for such a case, the more I think on it. What do you think?

I'll split off this year's drabbles from the existing drabble collection and put them in a separate story, which I'll enter in the challenge- probably the simplest way of doing it

It's more a guideline than a rule *g*
Drabbles give people something to aim for, and they can be written reasonably quickly (although that one perfect word can of course take twice as long to find as the other ninety-nine...), but you can write whatever length you're comfortable with.

Here you go, Anglachel- I hope you enjoy it.
The monster's howls drown out ours, but only just.
We flee, but it is like trying to out-run the thunderstorm.
Those who do not fall before his breath are torn to pieces in his jaws, rent asunder by his claws or smashed to jelly by his tail.
His rage is legendary; our slaughter complete and utter.
Dale burns, and the Dwarves burn… the whole world might as well burn, for all we care.
As I run, but one thought blazes through my mind.
This is but the fury of one dragon- one young dragon.
May Eru help us all…

I was not much in the old days, a little worm among the mighty. And let the record show: I would have gladly fought for holy Melkor! I would have joyfully given my life for his glory, but my keepers said I was too small, too weak, too timid. They kept me chained in Angband for my own good, or so they said.
Hah! The looks on my keepers's faces when at last I barbequed them! Oh, those started expressions when sweet little Smaug finally lost his temper, well worth eternal exile. I can still hear their screams all these years later and I revel in the memory.
Knowing I would be expunged for my acts, I fled from my happy home in the dungeons. I flew east and hid, cowardly, in the cracks of the Misty Mountains, for in truth I was a coward. Perhaps I remain so, despite my power.
Yet of my kind, only I survive in these decadent times. Melkor my master is gone, all my brothers and sisters are slain, but I still live. Of all the dragons, only I have ever had a pile of treasure to sleep upon: gold and gems, books and silken pillows.
This is what my kind was meant to do, but of all of us, only I managed it.
I haven't done so badly for a little worm.

Here's my offering
A True Dragon
He lifted his head, swinging it side to side and scenting the air. It was sharp on his nostrils, tingied with ice. But there was nothing unusual about that, here everything smelt of cold and ice. He sighed, feeling the fire in his chest ache and scorch, wanting to burn. Was this all he could be, a skulker, silent killer, sorry flash in the night.
He bared his teeth in a silent snarl of anger and unfairness. There should be more, there should be worship and gold. Was he not after all, the son of Glaurung and grandson of Ancalagon, the only one with such a pedigree, the hope of his kin. His egg had been missed when Melkor was turned out, perhaps mistaken for a rock. But some damage had been done never the less, for when he hatched his scales where malformed, leaving a bare patch over his heart. Yet in all other respects he was a magnificent heir, his size magnificent for his relatively small age, his scales a chain mail coat of honey-gold. A true dragon...
There was just one thing. He had no treasure, no lair, no fear was inspired by his name. Slowly he blinked, turning his head again. Then he stretched his wings, listening as the joints opened with satisfying cracks. Rhythmically he flapped them, bunching power in his back legs before springing like liquid gold into the sky. Airborne, thinking was easier, the cares of the land disappeared and he thought as a dragon should think.
The land lay out below him like a picture, such as he had heard some of the older dragons talk of when their Maiar halves were conscious. And on the edge of his vision he saw a great towering peak. It wasn't the Ered Luin, or any of the other peaks he had heard of. After a moment the name came to him.
Erebor. The Lonely Mountain.
Home to the Dwarf King... and, he chuckled slightly, his hoard of gold.
Ahhh, the sigh was long and luxurious. Slowly, almost idely, he turned his long body southwards and began to beat his wings in earnest. Now would the Dwarves learn to fear him, create a reputation that would be whispered in taverns with a glance over the shoulder.
And himself, well he would glory in that knowledge and stretch out on his bed of gold and craftsmanship... a true dragon.

Gab Bags
Williamsburg Regional Library has collected multiple copies of the following titles for use by reading groups. The books are packaged in a tote bag, and can be checked out for up to eight weeks. Many of the titles have questions and supplementary material to stimulate thoughtful discussion. Bags are available at both the Scotland Street and Croaker Road libraries. You may place a hold on the title you want and pick it up at the most convenient location. For a complete list of Gab Bag titles, click here.
The purchase of the initial nine titles was made possible through a grant from the Friends of the Library to support library-sponsored book groups. Since then, support has come from Jane and Robert McGaw, the Williamsburg Community Trust, and the Gladys and Franklin Clark Foundation. By sharing these group resources with community readers, the Gab Bags program extends the success of those grants.
