I can confirm that the xv and gl video is watchable using xcompmgr over compiz. Its still buggy; it refuses to accept a transparency given by transset and if the background changes (e.g scrolling a web page behind the movie) then the video disappears (apparently replaced by the background) for a fraction of a second (much like the compiz choppyness). I wonder if the xv/gl stuff doesn't like compositing and compiz is more inclined to refresh background windows.
Nice one.
I am installing it right now.
The screen corruption is gone for me - either with AIGLX/composite or without (but opengl/sdl is very slow when AIGLX/composite is on). So, here's everything ok - except the switching-from-X-to-console-and-back ancient bug :-(. Alright, I'm posting the whole Device section, maybe it will help you get rid of the screen corruption.
Code:Section "Device" Identifier "ATI Radeon 9600" Driver "fglrx" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "VideoOverlay" "on" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" Option "UseFastTLS" "2" Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0" Option "no_accel" "no" Option "no_dri" "no" Option "EnablePrivateBackZ" "no" Option "backingstore" "true" Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" Option "ForceMonitors" "notv" EndSection
I hope you're spitting that not too fast out. My screen was clean for lets say 12 hours, but then it came back.
Actually if it takes that long it would be acceptable, but I really would like to see AMD releasing a bug fix for this before next driver release (I know that's not gonna happen...).
Another thing that they really should release a fix for before the next release (8.43) is the wrong SONAME issue of libGL.so which may hold off this driver of gentoo's portage.
See here:
That shouldn't be a big issue and I guess it would be fixable by just releasing a fixed libGL.so, but of course that is not going to happen either.
this options seems to remove the screen corruption. after i've added it i have not experienced any corruption anymore.Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
the other thing is that you seem to have to force the xv with the videooverlay and disable the opengl overlay. after that i had to set beryl from texture from pixmaps to copy and my fps have not gone down anymore. now i'm stable at 700-800 fps with every environment which is quite good.
just use the sabayon ebuild or modify the 8.40.4 one removing the gunzip line and by adding the libGL.so.{major} where there is the libGL symlinking in the ebuild.Another thing that they really should release a fix for before the next release (8.43) is the wrong SONAME issue of libGL.so which may hold off this driver of gentoo's portage.
for some reason the sabayon ebuild has removed the fgl_glxgears and some other things, but on my gentoo they work flawlessly. another important thing is to always run the atieventsd service at boot time. after i've had it added some time ago i was able to correct a lot of problems. i don't know what it really does but it seems to be of some kind of use.
The sabayon ebuild is just wrong. I can't believe, that they actually put something like that in their tree.
Did they even test this? It spits out some errors during installation.
I'm mean, after an emerge, when you made (or modified an ebuild), you should just go through the install process at least once and see if it did everything correctly.
Sorry, but you just can't add some (proprietary) software one day after it has been released to your tree and with that they can't be taken serious by anybody again...
... or at least not by me.
The thing with the libGL.so is not that it has the wrong (file-)name. The thing, is that the SONAME of it is wrong, which brings the whole needing for the symlink in in first place.
See the gentoo bug about 8.42.3 for information.
I'll try the other option and see if that helps, tomorrow.
i don't really know if the sabayon ebuild works... i didn't tried it myself. i've patched manually the old 8.40.4 and installed from that one. for me it worked without problems. i had the driver installed about 1 hour after it was released and it works fine for now.
i could test the new ebuild, but since the old patched one works fine i don't really see a reason to change it. maybe when i got to try the 2.6.23 (not so fast since it seems for this driver to have problems with this kernel).
as for the soname issue, i don't really think that this is a real problem since it is fixed with a simple symlink. of course that should be fixed in the next release and i think that ati would correct that feature by next month's release. for now just add the symlink part in the ebuild and you'll have it working.
Then you sort of did what sabayon people did.
The thing is (and maybe this is also the reason you didn't expect any problems) that ATI changed the installer package and therefore on AMD64 systems two of the 32bit libs don't get installed (because their location has changed). Of course if you modify the ebuild yourself this is ok, because then you know that you may run into problems, but if the ebuild is provided by your distributor you think, that it will work.
With your current ebuild you might expect problems running 32bit apps, that use opengl, for example, if you run a game with wine.
Once again you can fix this of course locally very easy, but you can't write sth. like that in the ebuild, because the ebuild works as it should (it writes the libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib and then symlinks libGL.so.1 and libGL.so to it in that directory). Because there are seperate opengl impelementations (xorg-x11 and ati) you need a programm to select the right one and that is eselect, which sets the symlink to /usr/lib. The ebuild should not do that, so there is nothing from the side of the ebuild, that could be done.as for the soname issue, i don't really think that this is a real problem since it is fixed with a simple symlink. of course that should be fixed in the next release and i think that ati would correct that feature by next month's release. for now just add the symlink part in the ebuild and you'll have it working.
The real problem is, that because of the wrong SONAME the wrong libname is included by env-update/ldconfig and that is the reason it doesn't find the lib.
So this is a problem that should be fixed by ati, not a dirty hack in the ebuild.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Eating My Way Through DC
Hi there! If you were wondering where I've been these past few days, I just returned from a three day, food-centered trip to DC, hosted by Destinations DC, the official convention and tourism corporation for Washington DC along with Tina of Carrots n Cupcakes and Leslie of And Her Little Dog Too.
This trip combined my two biggest passions, food and travel. From a foodie perspective, DC has so much to offer whether it's sampling local favorites from neighborhood eateries or indulging in award-winning cuisine at 5 diamond awarded restaurants such as the Mandarin Oriental Hotel's CityZen. You can experience affordable cuisine from diverse countries including Ethiopian, Salvadorean, Mexican, Thai and more to world class dining by James Beard award winning chef Jose Andres.
We stayed at the Washington Hilton, which has recently undergone a top-to-bottom make-over at a cost of $140 million. The staff was wonderful, the rooms were modern and I loved the little extras like the delicious mint or cranberry infused waters in the lobby.
The hotel even sent us tweets, how cool is that?
Bon Appetit!
Every foodie pilgrimage to DC must include a visit to Julia Child's kitchen to pay homage to a culinary legend, whose kitchen is on permanent display at the National Museum of American History.
What's Cooking Uncle Sam?
A tour of "What's Cooking Uncle Sam?" exhibit at the National Archives walks you through government's role in the American Diet throughout history.
Followed by that, cocktails and appetizers are a must at the pop-up restaurant America Eats Tavern, a living extension of the "What's Cooking Uncle Sam?" exhibit. America Eats offers a new take on American classics, with chef Jose Andres putting his modern spin on classic favorites. If you plan on visiting DC within the next few months, be sure to stop by as it will only stay opened until January.
The idea behind America Eats Tavern is to tell the American story through lost dishes and beverages, which tell a forgotten story of the culinary diversity across the states, and all profits are donated to the National Archives. We traveled through time and sipped drinks like the Moscow Mules, Switchel, Grog, Champagne Cocktail, Rickey, Horse's Neck with a Kick (to name a few!!)
Enjoyed boneless buffalo wings, Jose style...
Deconstructed keylime pie and pecan pie which were presented so beautifully...
After sampling all those cocktails, we were feeling no pain : )
Fit For A President
Next we set off to conquer a 5 course meal at the District Line, where the chef is no stranger to cooking for the President.
Everything they brought out was outstanding, but if I had to pick two dishes from that evening that I wish I could have again and again, it would be the Tea smoked five spiced duck breast and the Medallion of venison, heavenly!
And that concluded day one (I know what you're thinking, that's a lot of food in one day)
Well there's still more to come, some recipes and a giveaway so stay tuned!

I LOVE Ethiopian/|Eritrean food, did you try it? I had considered asking you to redo some of my favourites (they use a clarified butter, like Indian food, so it's naughty!) but didn't know how much of this food was present in the US. Gina, I officially challenge you to makeover Eritrean Shiro, I love it with injera (sourdough flatbread-like pancake) but my research on points value is terrifying! :) Your trip sounded like a blast, thanks for sharing.

I live 30 minutes away from D.C. and didn't know about these cool places to eat. Thanks, Gina!!
ReplyDelete - Colleen10/2/11, 9:28 AM
I live just outside of DC and haven'theard of some of these places! I must try the America Eats Tavern. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDelete The trip was completely planned by Destinations DC, and they chose the itinerary, restaurants and menus (which was fine by me, was pretty fun being surprised). Kate was our host and she was very knowledgeable on DC's food scene, history and so on. It was a great experience. Luckily we also did a lot of walking!!
I really loved the Ethiopian food, not sure if Eritrean is the same. Today's post will talk a little about that, and I bought some spices to make one of the lentil dishes the chef was happy to share with us!
I live in NY and haven't been to most restaurants people travel here to eat at so I completely know what you mean. I hope you visit some of these places. America Eats is a must, and only open for a few more months.
Kalyn - it's a great hotel! And I love the location, it felt like I was in Soho or the Village.- Lindsay10/4/11, 11:23 AM
Why are your whole posts not available on google reader?? i read @ work and your site is blocked but i can read them on google reader :(
ReplyDelete - Angie10/10/11, 7:27 AM
Hi again Gina, yea Eritrean and Ethiopian foods are very similar, its because the food culture dates back to before the countries were they way they were today (which is less an a century old)! That lentil dish sounds familiar, I can't wait to see if you post it up! I volunteer with an Eritrean family here in Australia, I would love to show them a lightened up version of their own dish :O

Concerted Refusals to License Intellectual Property RightsChristina BohannanUniversity of Iowa - College of Law Herbert J. HovenkampUniversity of Iowa - College of Law April 20, 2011 Harvard Business Law Review Bulletin, Vol. 1, p. 21, 2011 U Iowa Legal Studies Research Paper No. 11-23 Abstract: Unilateral refusals to license intellectual property rights are almost never antitrust violations, as is true of most unilateral refusals to deal. Concerted refusals to deal are treated more harshly under the antitrust laws because they can facilitate collusion or, in the case of technology, keep superior products or processes off the market. In its en banc Princo decision a divided Federal Circuit debated whether Congress had protected concerted refusals to license from claims of patent misuse. The majority rejected the dissent's argument that Congress had no such intent and then went on to hold that an alleged concerted refusal to license was not misuse. This conclusion is troublesome because in its Independent Ink decision the Supreme Court virtually equated the scope of antitrust liability with the scope of misuse as defined by §271(d). Broad legality for concerted refusals to license patents, and unused patents in particular, has serious implications for competition and innovation. A concerted refusal to license a factory or other productive asset can facilitate collusion by denying resources to rivals unless they can find alternative sources of supply. A concerted refusal to license an unused patent can go much further. Not only does it deny rivals that particular technology but it also prevents them from developing any technology independently that would infringe one or more of that patent's claims. Of course, not every concerted refusal to license should be unlawful per se. In antitrust, they are appropriately covered by the ancillary restraints doctrine. Naked agreements not to license are unlawful per se, while refusals reasonably necessary to further joint research or production would be unlawful only if market power and anticompetitive effects were proven. By contrast, reading §271(d) of the Patent Act to authorize all concerted refusals is likely to harm both competition and the incentive to innovate.

SUBJECT: Wilmington Softball Splits Doubleheader With Florida Southern, Waking The Bats Up in a Big Way in Game Two
After dropping Wednesday's first game of a doubleheader against Florida Southern, the Wilmington University softball team game back in a big way, earning a split, 0-6 and 17-1, at the National Training Center on the team's third day of a two week trip to Florida.
The Wildcats (4-2) couldn't get the bats going in the day's first game, only securing three hits and committing three errors behind starting pitcher Danielle Griffin, leaving her out to dry for the loss. But the Wildcats made that up and then some in the second game, knocking around 13 hits and scoring a season high 17 runs, scoring a run in every inning but the second to earn the split.
Florida Southern (6-11), who received the most votes outside the top 25 in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II Preseason Poll, scored a run in the top of the first but then didn't get to Griffin again until the fifth inning before putting the first game away late with a three run top of the seventh.
Griffin pitched into the seventh inning, totaling six innings pitched while giving up all six runs while only three of them were earned. The junior struck out one Moc on the afternoon before turning it over to Jillian Stafford who finished the seventh. Shelby Thompson, Brook Ash and Christin Headley each went 1-for-3 in game one, securing the only hits against Cheslsea Oglevie who improved to 4-5 on the year.
Game two was a completely different story however, as the Wildcats got on the board early and often, jumping out to a 2-0 lead after the top of the first. The only trouble game two starter Chelsea Botsch came across came in the bottom of the first, as she allowed a sacrifice fly to allow the Mocs to within 2-1 after one full inning of play.
After a quiet second innings, the Wildcats turned it on over the next three innings, putting 15 runs on the board over their next nine outs. Stafford, who already doubled in her first at-bat of the game, got things rolling in the third as she hit her second double of the game to left center, scoring Brooke Berger who started the rally with a one out walk. Two batters later, freshman Rice Fazio hit her own double to left center, scoring both Stafford and Headley to give the Wildcats a 5-1 lead.
In a much needed shutdown inning, Botsch came out in the bottom of the third and went 1-2-3, needing only nine pitches to get out of the inning unscathed.
Hitting for herself, Botsch started things off in the top of the fourth, hitting a single into left field to lead off the inning. Thompson followed with an infield single before Brook Ash loaded the bases with no outs. Two batters later Stafford was at it again, smashing her third double of the game, this time to right field for two more RBI's. Now with two outs and runners on second and third, Rachel Painter got in on the mix as well, hitting her own double to left field, scoring both Fazio and Headley to make it a six run fourth inning.
Botsch again came out and had a fast inning in the circle, allowing a one out single but only throwing six pitching in the inning as Stafford caught a line drive and stepped on the bag at first for an inning ending double play.
The top of the fifth was more of the same for the bats, as they put another six spot on the board to really put the game away. Berger got the scoring started with the season's first triple, hitting one down the right field line scoring Thompson from second. Stafford knocked in her fifth RBI of the game with a single back up the middle to make it 14-1. Still with one out, Fazio added to the score with another double to left field. Now with the bases loaded, Painter roped a double to right center, clearing the bases and capping the scoring for the game.
Botsch shut the door once again in the bottom of the seventh to earn her first win of the young season. The sophomore went all five innings in the mercy ruled complete game, striking out two Mocs while not allowing a walk. She improved to 1-1 on the year.
Stafford went an outstanding 4-for-4 with three doubles and five RBI's in the second game, also scoring three runs. Painter also ended with a game high five RBI's, finishing 2-for-4 with her first two doubles of the year. Fazio also went 2-for-4 with her two doubles, knocking in four runs. Berger finished 2-for-3 with two RBI's while also scoring three runs.
Wilmington has its first off-day of the two-week trip on Thursday and will return to action at the National Training Center on Friday, squaring off against West Virginia Wesleyan in the day's first game at 11 a.m., and finish the day with a nonconference matchup against Felician at 1 p.m.

Tay Bridge disaster
The sudden collapse of Scotland's Tay Bridge in 1879 killed more than 70 rail...
The sudden collapse of Scotland's Tay Bridge in 1879 killed more than 70 rail passengers and shocked the population. An extensive inquiry was carried out, including numerous witnesses, experts and reports. Were the high winds that night to blame, or were poor design or mechanical failure at fault? This unit re-examines some of the original evidence from the Tay Bridge disaster.
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- critically evaluate disasters and their causes, especially from mechanical or material failures;
- demonstrate the importance of systematic and rigorous analysis of disasters, so that future failures can be avoided or prevented.

Tay Bridge disaster
This unit starts by giving an overview of the two main categories of disasters: disasters of natural origin and disasters of human origin. It then analyses the Tay Bridge disaster, which was caused by mechanical failure.
Inevitably, human factors emerge as important in many major disasters. They may involve the failure by engineers, designers or managers to recognise faults in safety-critical products, or managers overriding the design team for other reasons – such as keeping to a deadline or keeping costs within a predetermined budget. We cannot therefore neglect discussing such problems in failure cases.
One way of examining such events is by dividing them into two categories, those of natural origin, and those occurring to manufactured structures. The division cannot be enforced rigorously, however, because the one can cause or interact with the other. The great forces unleashed by natural effects can make a structure unstable and hence unsafe, or even destroy it entirely. Structures should therefore be designed to withstand such forces.
It follows immediately that designers need to know what magnitude of force to expect for the lifetime of their particular product. When structures such as ships, aircraft or spacecraft are made specifically to withstand extreme environments, they should be able to resist those forces safely.
Note: most of this unit is based on information that contained British imperial units. Those units have been kept so that you can consider the information as it was considered during the original investigations.

Lafferty asks hospital directors to approve bridge loan
Participating by telephone Aug. 4, Plumas District Hospital Chief Executive Officer Doug Lafferty briefed hospital directors on the necessity and timeline for implementation of an electronic medical records (EMR) system. Lafferty could not attend the meeting personally because of a prior out-of-town obligation.
The federal government has mandated that hospitals receiving Medicare payments implement EMR. To receive reimbursement, the hospital must meet completion deadlines.
The timeline is exceptionally tight: To receive the maximum reimbursement, the project must be at least 80 percent complete by July 1, 2012. Delay beyond the July 1 deadline will mean a smaller reimbursement.
Because the hospital pays the majority of the expense early in the project, Lafferty asked the board to authorize application for a $1.5 million bridge loan through a United Healthcare bond.
Lafferty wants to preserve the hospital's cash position. To do so requires the bridge loan.
District homeowners will not be obligated to repay the bond; it's repaid with the federal reimbursements. There will be no additional hospital assessment on homeowners' property tax bills for this loan.
Controller and Interim Chief Financial Officer Cindy Crosslin said the loan has a five-year repayment term at 4 percent interest. No payment is due for 13 months and there are no pre-payment penalties.
Director Bill Wickman queried Lafferty about the risk of non-reimbursement because the government reneged on its commitment to reimburse the costs.
Lafferty acknowledged there is some risk, but because it is federally mandated, the hospital's exposure is minimal. He added that this would be his fourth EMR implementation.
Lafferty praised the work of Crosslin and Chief Nursing Officer Linda Jameson, in her interim CEO role, in leading the team charged with identifying an appropriate EMR vendor.
Directors present at the meeting — Mark Satterfield, M.D., Valerie Flanigan and Bill Wickman — unanimously approved the resolution to pursue the bridge loan.
Directors will hear a comprehensive, apples-to-apples comparison of EMR vendors in September.

A pox on all the wooters who don't agree with my brilliantly well informed opinion about your shirt. May they live to rue the day they chose the cute rounded cartoons from the sycophantic designers instead of your stellarly epic masterpiece. May their fortunes decline and their houses fall to ruin after their warranty expires. May their fast food be full of the saliva of the preparers and may their bones full of the aches of their grandparents. AND - May their consciences forever be haunted by the knowledge that I had to pay $22 for this shirt on some other site instead of the $10 on woot.

But the first "clay pigeon" and "trap" to throw it were not developed until about 1880 by George Ligowsky. William Brett From Decatur was the second manufacturer of clay targets in the U.S., which he called the "Decatur Red Bird". Considered the oldest shotgun shooting sports club in Illinois, the Decatur Gun Club was founded soon after clay targets were invented. Chan Powers and Bert Hildebrandt were two of the mentors of the club, first located near East William Street Road and 22nd Street. In the early years, the club occupied sites in the Hess Park area, the Wyckles Corner area, the Macon County Fairgrounds, and an area west of the Fairgrounds before finding it's home of the past 61 years at the north end of Faries Park.

when you drink until you pass out and then you shit in your roommate's bed as well as piss on it. Then you proceed to take a shit and bathe in it afterwards. When it can't get any weirder, you run into the elevator with approximately 8 people with your pants down. After you wake up, you don't remember shit and you get written up. Your roommate moves out and you have to pay a huge fine.
Man, Michael pulled a Guss last night. It was the shit.

Nice write up by Kenji. I do have to say we've been discussing the use of steel since 2010 but it's good to see Slice catching up. Don
And yet not a single person here thought of marketing it. Sad.
No personal opion here, but is Kenji Lopez Alt a guy or a girl? I don't follow Slice mutch: but just wondering, not that it matters for a person with all the hoopla as a name.
New York pizzas take between 12 and 15 minutes to bake.
Scott:I started to read Kenji's NY style recipe from the link you posted, and stopped at this line:
Yes. If you look at the comment section, I upbraided Kenji there as well.
I hadn't noticed your comments on that thread, as you were unusually tardy in getting in there. I did notice that you didn't waste any time ripping into Andris Lagsdin, the purveyor of Baking Steel, in an earlier thread. You don't take any prisoners, do you?
Sure, baking steel bought in a store will be overpriced. Does that matter? Same damn people buy Pampered Chef products and think they're stylin.

A thyroid uptake and scan is a test that uses a radioactive substance and a scanning tool to evaluate the thyroid gland. The scanner picks up where and how much the radioactive substance was taken up by the thyroid. This helps determine the structure, location, size, and activity of the gland.
The scan may be ordered to:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Thyroid scans are associated with very few risks. Tell your doctor if you:
The procedure is done by a trained technician in the radiology department of a hospital. You will be given a radioactive substance by mouth. Once the substance has had time to collect in the thyroid, the scan begins. You will lie on your back with your head tilted back. You will be asked to lie very still at certain times. A scanner will take pictures of your thyroid from different angles. The camera is not an x-ray machine. It does not expose you to more radiation. You may need to return to the radiology department after 24 hours for additional pictures.
You will be able to leave after the test is done.
Because of the very low dose of radioactive substance used, the majority of the radioactive substance will leave your body within a day or 2. You are not at risk for exposing other people to radiation. You can interact normally with them.
The scan itself takes about half an hour. The radioactive substance needs time to be absorbed before the scan. You may need to wait 4-6 hours if you take the substance by mouth.
There is no pain associated with a thyroid scan. There may be times when you find it uncomfortable to lie still with your head tilted backward.
The pictures of the scan take about an hour to develop. A radiologist will examine them. Based on the results of the test, further studies or treatment will be recommended.
Call your doctor if you experience any unusual pain or discomfort.
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.
