Speaking of integrated graphics, many AMD APU's have graphics equivalent to an HD 5770-and with Linux 3.11 (now released in Ubuntu Saucy) and boot parameter radeon.dpm=1 are no longer clock-crippled. Never tested Intel graphics on any recent hardare except for Intel Atom, which does a different job. Not buying an Intel desktop, I am happy with my AMD machines and hate Intel's business practices. For video editing outputting to libx264, AMD Bulldozer/Piledriver can match any Intel chip except the $1,000 *bridge-E varieties. For what Ivy Bridge/Haswell cost, you can have Bulldozer/Piledriver 8 core and a Radeon HD6770, which on open drivers will beat the crap out of the Intel GPU.
Since I keep all paid everything off my systems, a GPU and driver good enough for all open games (like r600g) is good enough for me. Kdenlive renders on the CPU and plays back in xv, any GPU will do EXCEPT a small AMD using the closed driver. As for "professional work that is GPU demanding," there are few FOSS programs I know of in that category, with the notable exception of Blender, which supports only CUDA and not OpenCL.Lightworks is not open, all open video editors I know of render on the CPU. Kdenlive's devs are working on exploiting MLT's new direct shader language capability, don't know if that will be only to play effects in realtime or for rendering, though.

Margaret Groening died recently at age 94. A look at her obituary in The Oregonian reveals the fact that she wasn't the only family member immortalized as a resident of the fictional town of Springfield. Margaret Groening's late husband was Homer. Their children included Patty, Lisa and Maggie, who lent their names to Marge's TV sister and daughters. Mrs. Groening's maiden name, Wiggum, became the last name of Springfield's police chief and his sweet-but-dopey son.
Interviews with Mrs. Groening suggest that she took her son's use of family names in stride – but she maintained that he only used names for inspiration, and that Simpsons' storylines weren't based on family stories.
As Mother's Day approaches, our hearts go out to the Groening family, who must be missing their mother. She was truly an inspiration.

Purchased for Wife
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
My wife picked this pack and another brand as her top two choices and we ordered them. Upon arrival, she found this one not to fit very well and said it was not comfortable. This pack was pretty small, but had plenty of nice features and pockets and appeared to be constructed well. I am giving it 3 stars because the hydration bladder was pretty cumbersome to get out and look more complicated than it needed to be to fill up and put away(compared to other brand bladders). The fitting issue is something that will just depend on the person of course, but to help; my wife has DD and a small frame. She ended up finding the other brand we ordered fitting MUCH better and we returned this one.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Smaller than I thought it would be but small is not as bad as I thought. Used for mtbiking and short hikes. Good Buy!
Good for quick trips
Love the size of this pack for short day hikes and mountain biking!

Trinity County, Tx (KETK) — A small town church was unexpectedly returned a prized item this week, thanks to hard work by the local sheriff's department.
It all started on January 1 when Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace stepped in as the new man in charge. The sheriff tells KETK his team decided to look into cases that were only a few months old from the last administration.
One of the reports consisted of a 1965 Fender bass, valued at around $10,000, that was stolen in December 2012. The instrument was stolen from River of Life Church, located just outside of town on State Highway 19.
Investigators were able to dig up information that pointed them to a pawn shop in Huntsville. Authorities revealed the guitar had been sold for a measly $70 the day after the burglary. Deputies then learned the Fender was in New York after a man, who bought it from the pawn shop, sold it to a company there.
The Sheriff's Department tracked down the pay pal information and contacted the business in New York and informed them they were in possession of a stolen item. After proving to the store owner that they were in fact not a scam, the company turned the item over to local law enforcement and the guitar was shipped back to Texas.
Authorities received the guitar on Friday and returned the instrument Monday back to Brother Mike Loftin at the River of Life Church.
Bro. Loftin told deputies, "this is the last thing my Dad bought me."
So far, two arrests have been made and a third is expected. Officials have not released the identity of the burglars, pending the third arrest. Two people will be charged with burglary of a building and the third, theft.
Authorities also recovered a stolen safe, but none of the items inside were found.

Lackmond PRD11612520 - PRODUCTS Predator PRD10 Series 16"x.125x20mm Dry Cut Diamond Blade for Green Concrete / Asphalt
High speed segmented blades have always been the bread and butter of the diamond tools industry, and the trend doesn't look to change. The majority of segmented blade sales is in the 12"-14" range, but larger diameters have been increasing in popularity. This category of blades is designed for use on high speed demo saws, air saws, and low horse-power walk behind saws, and intended to cut green concrete and asphalt in dry conditions. As with any diamond blade, adding water will increase the life and aid in the cooling of the blade. The PREDATOR (PRD) series is a true mid-range blade in the green concrete/asphalt category. The PREDATOR incorporates a higher quality diamond than the HA5, HA3, or SPL series of blades. The PREDATOR is a good mix between high end performance and affordability.

So it's pretty competitive with the entry level from intel's previous generation. In all fairness, Ivy Bridge isn't much faster than Sandy Bridge in CPU performance. Though the CPU itself might be less power hungry in IB.
Phoronix: AMD A10-5800K Performance On Ubuntu Linux
Continuing on from last week's initial benchmarks of the AMD A10-5800K Trinity APU on Linux, the Trinity memory performance testing, and then more benchmarks of the Radeon HD 7660D integrated graphics, here is the large Ubuntu Linux comparison of the AMD A10-5800K compared to the previous-generation AMD A8 Llano APU, an AMD FX-Series Bulldozer, and several Intel Core i3/i5/i7 CPUs from the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge families.
So it's pretty competitive with the entry level from intel's previous generation. In all fairness, Ivy Bridge isn't much faster than Sandy Bridge in CPU performance. Though the CPU itself might be less power hungry in IB.
"...(at least) better than Sandy Bridge / i3" it keeps echoing...
I'm pretty disappointed with these results but I've noticed trinity is tremendously impacted by memory frequencies, almost too much, so I wonder how different the tests would be with the most optimal RAM frequency. With most other systems, different ram speeds might get another few seconds out of encoding or another few FPS in a game, but with trinity it can be the difference between it being as bad as i3 or better than i5.
What I also think is weird is how little of a difference overclocking makes. Overclocking doesn't seem worth it considering how much more heat and power is used in turn.
My i5-2500K might outperform this in a few workloads, but it cost me $230 back in the day, and that's before buying my $200 GTX 460. To get competitive performance for one-quarter the cost is noteworthy. I think AMD should charge more for these than they do -- their profit margins need to increase, and they deserve to be rewarded for their hard work here.
Finally, what's your deal with clock speeds? Everyone who knows anything about CPUs can tell you that clock speeds are marketing hype. The numbers are worthless -- invalid. You can't use them for any comparative shopping unless you're studying processors of the same brand and generation. Sure, my car may have ten million cubic miles of volume, but if it's all dedicated to the trunk, you're gonna be mighty disappointed with the passenger capacity.
Thanks a lot for the dolfyn and lammps benchmark profiles!
Any idea why AMD is so misereble there (including the himeno, too)? Could that be really just the lack of compiler optimisations?
I mean they're still making a lot of money on Opterons where these workloads are crucial...
It seems we're using the same setup, I'm on a 2500K and a GTX460 as well. Though I paid a tad under $200 for the CPU Still going strong, but I may take the plunge and go for a 660Ti soon.
Did I miss where the ram speed was listed in the llano and trinity rigs? BTW you should also include OC'ed llano as most users can get ~3.4ghz & 760-800mhz (GPU clock) on air. Since it's supposedly it's competition and you showed OC results of trinity.

Hi: 9° Lo:6°
By Tristan Harris Friday 16 November 2012 Updated: 14/12 12:13
A FANTASTIC cast from the Norbury Youth Theatre put on a magical production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe which drew in a near-capacity crowd.
The CS Lewis classic centres around four children - Lucy, Susan, Peter and Edmond - who are evacuated to a mansion during the war and find the land of Narnia where, because it is under the spell of the White Witch, it is winter all the time, but never Christmas.
One element which made this show so great was the chemistry between the four main characters who conveyed perfectly the banter, and even sometimes, bullying, that you expect from four close siblings.
In truth, the performances of all involved were pretty faultless, but there were some exceptional portrayals.
One of those was Annie Burrows as Lucy. She conveyed well the emotional roller-coaster her character embarked on - from early on, when she was frustrated at having found this magical land and was unable to convince her brothers and sisters, to the heartbreak of discovering the supposed death of Aslan the Lion.
Another was Alice Foster, as the friendly faun Mr Tumnus. She played perfectly the character's eccentric nature and will to do what was right, despite the consequences.
But the pick of the performances was by Charlotte Smith as the White Witch. She was suitably evil in the role, with a few comedic moments along the way for the audience to enjoy. With the festive season approaching, her portrayal was fantastically pantomime baddie-esque, particularly during the song Here Comes the Cat, which was also one of the musical highlights.
One of the great moments of this show was the battle. It had dramatic and well-choreographed sword fights and you could hear a pin drop in the auditorium as the sabres clinked together.
In perfect contrast to that, the very catchy and equally euphoric The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe number at the end rounded off the show wonderfully and ensured those who went along left with the feel-good factor - some even singing the song as they exited.

Today there are many products available that improve your skins appearance and can help with unsightly blemishes or other skin issues. It can be difficult to decide which products to use, that is why it is important to understand brands as well as the products that they offer. Revitol leads the skin care industry with its products. Revitol offers natural skincare solutions for everything from hair removal to skin tag removal. Revitol's products are safe, effective, and natural and you can rest assured knowing that you are using the best products available on your skin. Being informed of these various products, as well as how they all work, will be very beneficial to you as you choose the solution that helps your skin the best.
Another common issue you might come across is undesirable hair. The other hair removal products you find on the market will give you severe skin reactions, and might not even get rid of all the hair you want. However, Revitol hair removal cream is perfectly safe and will remove all the hair you want. It is made from natural ingredients that will remove hair effectively and safely only leaving you with smooth skin. You can follow the instructions to get rid ofof all your unwanted hair within half an hour, free of extra effort or a possible rash.

The formula helps fortify your skin cells using vitamins and proteins. It assists your skin in healing scars and aiding your skins natural regenerative characteristics. The healing capabilities of this skin cream will truly amaze you.
You might also be interested in Revitol's skin tag removal cream. This is groundbreaking as often people suffering from skin tags need to go to a dermatologist to have them removed. You can develop skin tags in areas where skin rubs together such as your neck, armpits, groin, eyelids, under the breasts, and the upper chest. They tend to appear as you age or even put on weight. Skin tags aren't exactly physically appealing or comfortable, but they usually don't cause pain. Revitol's cream is great because its natural ingredients can effectively get rid of all your skin tags. Most other products have harmful chemicals in them that will attempt to burn or freeze the skin tags off. This way is very painful, not to mention irritating to your skin. You should consider using Revitol skin tag removal cream if you want to avoid the hassle and pain.
Another very common skin problem is stretch marks. You might get these marks from large weight loss, weight gain, or pregnancy. No matter the reason stretch marks can be difficult to deal with and can lead to skin discoloration. Revitol provides a removal cream that will heal your skin in a natural and effective manner. You can use the removal cream that Revitol offers to naturally heal your skin most effectively. Revitol stretch mark cream will make the production of collagen and elastin in the epidermis a lot faster. Your skin will stay healthy and firm, while also strengthening and becoming more elastic. This improvement can also prevent any other stretch marks from developing. Therefore, if you're in the early stages of pregnancy or plan on it anytime soon, you should invest in preventing this problem with this cream.
Cellulite is a common problem that although sounds like a medical condition it is not. It is harmless deposits of fat that can cause dimpling of the skin. Celullite is commonly found on one's thighs, arms, and buttocks. The causes are various, and it isn't restricted to larger people. Some of these various ways to develop cellulite is taking fad diets, having poor nutrition, and being overweight. Another reason could be simply genetics. Even if you diet and exercise regularly, you might need Revitol cellulite cream to help get rid of your problem. Your cellulite won't be as apparent when you use this very safe product. The cream is made of all natural ingredients and does not lead to adverse skin reactions. Try this Revitol cream if you are burdened with cellulite and you truly won't be disappointed!
Eye cream is popular among all the skincare beauty products, as well as the most expensive. Eye cream is essential as it helps decrease the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the eyes, aids puffiness around the eyes, and reduces the appearance of unsightly dark circles. Eyes are one of the most common ways of telling someone's age. Using eye cream can revitalize the skin around your eyes, thus making you seem younger. Since your eyes are very delicate, it's important that you only use safe and effective eye cream. You can fulfill that requirement with Revitol eye cream. Revitol ensures that the cream has been tested extensively and is completely effective with homeopathic ingredients. Revitol's eye cream helps the skin around the eye heal itself and appear younger by removing puffiness, lines, and dark circles.

Try with Catalyst 12.8, when it will be available (today).
I have clevo laptop with model P150EM that comes with intel core-i7 3610M and AMD 7970M GPU . MY problem is that AMD catalyst does not detect my GPU . I downloaded amd catalyst through additional driver page , it installs fine but it doesn't not run because it doesn't detect my gpu . Iam running Ubuntu 12.4 .In terminal there it shows there 2 gpu one for intel and the other is amd . However, I suspected that intel graphics are ones being and used by the system and may or may not blocking my amd gpu from being detected by Ubuntu . I tried many methods installing amd catalyst and run it but it always fail including manual installtion. . I also tries using the hybrid switching graphics tutorial but it also failed :
Unfortunately , I don't have a BIOS option to turn off intel graphics and switch only to dedicated graphics . Please I am stuck . I tried everything but so far no solution . I would be appreciated if somebody help me find solution. Thanks
Try with Catalyst 12.8, when it will be available (today).
I am going to buy a similar notebook soon, so I have looked at that a little.
It uses the successor to PowerXpress, it's called "Enduro" and is wired together with the intel card, so it doesn't have manual switching via BIOS or software.
In windows there seem to be some performance issues with it resulting in a loss of up to >10 FPS apparently due to driver issues. An oddity is that games show the intel card as renderer, even if they are rendering on the HD 7970M.
So it seems to be very closely integrated.
I haven't seen any reports on how it works on linux but I have faith that the recent prime/dma-buf will soon allow offloading the rendering to the dedicated card and maybe flgrx will work soon with it too. Maybe, just maybe even together.
Now it's available: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/am...x86.x86_64.zip
Follow this manual: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu
after googling for 2 hrs I found a command for forcing un-installing the driver without integrity check . I now have 12.8 but still doesn't recognize any amd hardware . aticonfig command doesn't work in terminal just if anybody asks. the weird thing is that in additional drivers manager it display fgrlx but the catalyst doesn't detect hardware (7970m)
Do you use package generation installation method?

John Ellis & Double-wide
May 15, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
This quartet was awesome at Jazz Standard Tuesday night .. John the mastermind and composer, conceptualist and detail man, on tenor, soprano, one song with bass clarinet .. Gary Versace on organ, wow! he plays it in unexpected ways .. Matt Perrine on sousaphone, Matt got into the sousaphone game after seeing Kirk Joseph of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and Matt says Kirk is a pied piper for thousands of young sousaphoni .. and Jason Marsalis, always determined to play it better the next time, even when there is no apparent room to improve. It's a 50% New Orleans resident band (Matt & Jason), and John lived there from 1993-97. He is inspired by street bands. The quartet is playing music from the new CD Double-wide, which refers to the double-bottom of low register organ and sousaphone. The Jazz Standard vibrates happily in that register. Tuesday night's music will be featured on JazzSet on Sunday, June 15, and Wednesday, June 18.

Issues on Offense???
With Foster looking less than normal, AJ looking a little off and things not going 100% as planned are there any moves that we could make to improve? I'm not sure if there are any Olinemen to pick up but what would it cost to pick up Plex and would it be worth a shot? Just curious even though 5-1 aint bad

Re: Issues on Offense???
I'm sure there are pretty good reasons 32 teams have just said NO to plex.
At this stage in the season your chances of picking up any good players off the street are pretty negligible.
Season Prediction: WAS - W, @ OAK - W, @ NYG - W, BUF - W, @ DAL - W, IND - L, @ PIT - L, @ TEN - W, PHI - L, @ CLE - W, CIN - L, TEN - W, @ JAX - W, @ IND - L, BAL - L, JAX - W = 10-6

What this offense needs is David Anderson again.
Instant boost.
Only kidding, but I wonder if Gary lays awake at night and actually contemplates such a move. Probably does. LOL.

Re: Issues on Offense???
This FO in the off-season decided it was going to take in-house solutions and to the draft to deal with loses.
On the OL I think this was pretty much the right call, considering Caldwell was supposed to be healthy, Butler had looked capable in spot duty at both tackle spots and we had drafted two OG with good potential. I think bringing Harris was a good call and could help solidify the T spot for the rest of the season as they rotate Newton and him out. If Caldwell doesn't make it this Sunday it might be a chance for Brooks to get some game time reps, which is going to help going into next season.
Far as WR go... there are teams in much more needier positions that haven't made calls to TO or Burress. The Texans aren't going to either. I've seen sparks time to time from Jean (who needs to get healthy) and Martin. Anything this team gets from Posey is icing on the cake (still think it was a bad pick). This team isn't going out of house for WR at this point, those guys need to step it up.
I do honestly, don't think it would be bad at this point to feed the ball outside to AJ. I still think he's capable of taking over a game outside they just haven't tried to do that because this team wants to and can be more balanced.
Mid-season trades are pretty rare in the NFL as opposed to most other leagues, but if I had a say the biggest thing this team should do is make an trade for help at ILB with Cushing's injury.

A trade in the middle of the season??
We're going to play with the cards we've already got in our hand, for better or for worse.

Re: Issues on Offense???
Not sure if this comment is better suited for the college ball section... but should WR be a 1st or 2nd round pick? I'm very worried about finding a #1 receiver as heir to Andre for the franchise. We struck gold with Dre so long ago that we haven't really bothered to look for another talent. I'm not sure who fits the Andre mold heading into the draft - and I think the FO would look for someone like Andre - a big strong guy (not Megatron big mind) who runs crisp clean routes and beats DBs with technique more than pure physicality.
I think a WR #1 who gets to learn some from Andre would help revitalize our pass offense some more. Dre's not going to be around forever, so we need to find someone who can do as much as he did for this franchise.
What do y'all think? I've read somewhere on this forum that Andre has a groin injury that's been nagging him. Maybe that's the reason for his somewhat inconsistent production...

Re: Issues on Offense???
What a terrible offense.
Scored 173 points (28.8/g), 5th of 32 in the NFL. (says pro football reference)
And they surely aren't coming from special teams.
I wonder what we'd be saying if they were 10th in scoring, which would still be better than average?
If anything it's the defense that has issues. We've slipped to 8th there and played only two offenses in the top 20 (well, technically, the Jet's are 20th, so 3).

Re: Issues on Offense???
But, more importantly, if you WATCH the games, it's painfully obvious that the offense is struggling more than it's clicking. Fortunately, they are 5-1 and have plenty of upside.
I don't think anyone is accusing them of being terrible. But compared to what we've been used to seeing it's fair to suggest a need for a "boost".
To be fair, you have a good point in that the Defense needs a pick me up too, not to say they are terrible, but given this thread is about offense. I'll jump back on that side of the ball.
If anyone is like me. The first 5 weeks of offensive "meh" I saw, I chalked up to they have a lead, they are playing conservative, not having to tip their hand. Not to say there were signs to suggest concern, but whatever..they are winning. The Jets game started to raise my eyebrows. The Green Bay game changes it for me in the sense that when the offense needed to play with a purpose(again Defense too), and we got "meh" again.
Go Texans!

Re: Issues on Offense???
You draft a WR in the first round and you still have to pay AJ.
It's probably too much money to concentrate on one area of the team.
(Money allocation.)
I think we might have to wait until AJ retires or accepts a lower percentage on the pay scale before we can draft a receiver that high.
Many of us, myself included, wanted a receiver either in the first or second round last year.
We were screening a whole bunch of receivers in the draft section of the MB.

Re: Issues on Offense???
Not great, but pretty good, at least in the top third of the league.
My concern is the line, especially the guard play.
Wade Smith has been a warrior, playing through injuries and such, but his play has been hurting us some.
So did Caldwell's injury.
Ben Jones is playing like a rookie, but a pretty good one, at least a decent one.
Newton has had his bumps, but it looks to me that he has been progressing up to the curve.
It's good to have Harris on board so the OT position seems not to be a weakness.
We miss Dreesen's blocking ability, it seems; however, I'm not sure he would have been much better than OD in the last game.
Warning, do not read this further if you're an OD fan.
If you still want to read it, brace yousself.
Daniels as a Blocker
I know Owen Daniels (-2.3) is no blocking tight end, and I wouldnt ever expect him to put in a great day as a run blocker, but his display against Clay Matthews bordered on embarrassing. Daniels actually looked intimidated by the Packers dynamo, and seemed reluctant to make contact at the point of attack because he knew it was just speeding up the process of being tossed aside when the ball arrived for Matthews to make the play.
Daniels is built like a receiver, and will never be a great blocker, but his performance was noticeably different when he was tasked with blocking anybody other than Matthews, and not because that player was easier to handle. Theres an old adage that the majority of blocking on the perimeter is want-to, and against anybody else Daniels had more than enough of that in store, but as soon as he saw the mane of hair coming towards him his reserves just evaporated and he would barely make contact with his arms before resigning himself to being shoved out of the way. There are days where you are going to be second best in any given area, but at least give it everything you have.

Re: Issues on Offense???
And what with the structures of AJ's and Walter's contract, and dead money, and so forth.
Let's say you're the GM, how much money do we have tied up on those contracts (including KMart and Posey) and what can we do going forward?
Please also include the scenario where we may keep Jean and cut Posey (in the economic sense.)
I've never been any good with the business side.

Texans offense hasn't looked spectacular since Kyle left, I am wondering how much of Kubiaks genius came from Shanny's son when it came to offensive playcalling.

Re: Issues on Offense???
7/19/2012: Signed a four-year, $22.1 million contract. The deal is fully guaranteed, including a $14.5 million signing bonus. 2012: $390,000, 2013: $1,394,909, 2014: $2,399,818, 2015: $3,404,727, 2016: Free Agent
This is Whitney Mercilus's contract per rotoworld:
6/13/2012: Signed a four-year, $7,634,088 contract. The deal contains $6.55 million guaranteed, including a $3.99 million signing bonus. 2012: $390,000, 2013: $737,004, 2014: $1,084,008, 2015: $1,431,012, 2016: Free Agent
And for comparison to Luck this is Cam Newton's contract which also fell under the new CBA:
7/29/2011: Signed a four-year, $22,025,498 contract. The deal is fully guaranteed, including a $14,518,544 signing bonus. 2012: $1,376,159, 2013: $2,377,318, 2014: $3,378,477, 2015: Free Agent
EDIT: Posey and K-mart contracts are pretty small and really not that bad if they underperform.
LeStar Jean:
7/28/2011: Signed a three-year, $1.407 million contract. The deal included an $87,000 signing bonus. 2012: $390,000, 2013: $555,000, 2014: Restricted Free Agent
DeVier Posey:
7/23/2012: Signed a four-year, $2.69 million contract. The deal included a $684,092 signing bonus. 2012: $390,000, 2013: $510,000, 2014: $630,000, 2015: $748,000, 2016: Free Agent
Those are pretty much nothing contracts that you probably don't have to worry about cutting unless they are severely underperforming. Drafting a bust in the first round is nowhere near the financial hardship it once was.

Re: Issues on Offense???
Just as a side note... I don't remember Kubiak running end-arounds that much last year or in 2010, when I really started watching the Texans. For all the veterans on the board or the fans who've been fans for longer than I have - are the end-arounds new for Kubiak? Did he use them before 2010 more often? I like the 10 yard pickups we get from Keyshawn on these plays. It's not a play he runs too many times, but... I think Keyshawn is going to be a solid contributor in this offense given more snaps and if he fixes whatever concerns with his hands existed.
Then again, my memory tends to throw in events of its own liking, but the end arounds do seem to be moderately effective.

Re: Issues on Offense???
Also... Dwayne Bowe apparently wants out of KC pretty bad. What do you guys think about having him here? Two premier receivers? I think it would force other teams to respect the pass game much more, and open up the run game.

Re: Issues on Offense???
I am not in the draft a high round WR because I would rather build the team elsewhere. I think you can get by without all pro WRs.
