Flywheels, Ring & Pinions, Driveshafts
Proper selection of a flywheel will improve both performance and driving ease. Most of the mass in a stock flywheel is concentrated near the outer edge, resulting in high inertia. This feature, combined with the relatively heavy weight of these stock components make them unfavorable for most high performance applications.
For street use, our Lightweight Steel Flywheel not only allows the engine to accelerate more rapidly, but it also eliminates much of the "rubbery" feel that occurs at clutch engagement when shifting. While the Lightweight Steel Flywheel is entirely suitable for race use, it is not as light as our aluminum flywheel. The aluminum flywheel is intended primarily for road racing and rallying; it is a bit too light for street use unless you use a very low rear axle ratio or have the engine/clutch assembly installed in a lightweight vehicle.
Flywheel or clutch components should ever be allowed to exceed 10,500 RPM under any condition. This same RPM limit applies to stock components. You must use an engine RPM-limiter to prevent excessive RPM. If your engine is capable of exceeding 8,500 RPM you must install a transmission scatter shield, or "ballistic blanket". Failure to implement the above may result in serious injury or even death.
Ring & Pinion Gears
The Ring & Pinion sets cannot be swapped from one "group" to another "group" although some other rear axle components (bearings, seals, differential) may be interchangeable. Aside from the alternate ratios listed for each group, there are a few additional choices available for groups I, II, V & VI. Groups III & IV have no alternate ratios available.
Group I | Ratio |
RX-7 12A 1979-83, Late 1983 & 1985 | 3.909 |
RX-7 12A early 1984 | 3.933 |
Group II | Ratio |
Group III | Ratio |
RX-4 & Cosmo 1976-77 | 3.636 |
Group IV | Ratio |
Rotary Pickup 1974-75 | 4.625 |
Rotary Pickup 1976 Man Trans | 4.375 |
Rotary Pickup 1976 Auto | 4.111 |
Rotary Pickup 1977 | 3.900 |
Group V | Ratio |
RX-7 1986-92 NT Auto | 3.909 |
RX-7 1986-92 NT, Man Trans, Ex GTU | 4.100 |
Group VI | Ratio |
RX-7 1987-91 Turbo | 4.100 |
Group VII | Ratio |
RX-7 1993-95 Man Trans | 4.100 |
RX-7 1993-95 Auto | 3.909 |
Group VIII | Ratio |
Many factors impact the selection of a suitable gear ratio, including the specific application, horsepower, aerodynamics, etc. The standard formula that relates vehicle speed and engine RPM is as follows: |
Speed (mph) = (TC x RPM) ÷ (1056 x AR x TR) |
TC: The outside rear tire circumference measured in inches. AR: Rear axle ratio (Ring & Pinion). TR: Transmission gear ratio in any gear you want to use. RPM: Engine RPM. |
When setting the ring & pinion gear assembly, follow the Mazda Factory specifications. It is essential that the pattern of contact between the gears be correct to ensure expected gear life and minimal noise. The "pinion depth" settings are provided to establish the correct pinion shim. If you lack the requisite equipment for depth measuring, start with the old shim.
For best results in road racing, install both a differential oil cooler and temperature gauge. For the cooler, the oil exit point from the differential should be at the rear of the ring gear near the bottom of the housing, while the return point should be just above the "mesh point" of the ring and pinion. When plumbing your oil cooler pump, be sure to install a screen-type filter ahead of the pump and check the filter regularly for contaminants. Do not route any of the oil cooler or temperature gauge lines below the housing; they will likely be damaged during an off-course excursion.
When installing the differential temperature gauge, the sender is best mounted in a "T" fitting in the hose line leading to the pump. Most gear oils lose significant lubricating capability above 320°F. Keep the temperature below 220°F and change the oil frequently to promote gear life.
We recommend that the differential components be "broken in" using a 90W hypoid gear oil for approximately 300 miles. Drain the differential case, and replenish with a synthetic lubricant, such as Royal Purple Max-Gear Oil. In our experience, synthetic gear oil lowered the differential temperature 10°F when compared to a high quality mineral-based lubricant. Also, gear and bearing wear were very slight, clearly showing that synthetic gear oil achieved the aforementioned temperature reduction through decreased friction.
Inspect your rear axles and bearings regularly. While Mazda's components are of very high quality, they are not unbreakable.
Do not attempt to use a driveshaft that has been modified unless it has been straightened and balanced. Rapid wear of the driveshaft yoke where it enters the transmission extension housing is frequently a sign of an unbalanced driveshaft. When running a rotary at very high speed, it is possible for the driveshaft to see more than 11,000 RPM. Experience has shown that harmonic vibrations are present in the driveshaft at the 8,000 to 11,000 RPM range, causing rapid wear of the universal joints.
1984 and later Mazda OEM driveshafts have non-replaceable U-joints, requiring the replacement of the entire assembly if a joint fails.

So pretty you wouldn't know how comfy they are!
These shoes are really beautiful, stylish and classic at the same time. Lovely with a dress, sexy with jeans. And amazingly comfortable for a high heel. Definitely one of the most comfortable high heels I have ever put on. I will be able to wear them for years to come. I have them in black suede, I'm just hoping Rockport will make them in a more durable black leather.

First of all, I have become a Rockport addict ever since the first pair I purchased during a Vegas vacation. These red, leather peep toe heels are exquisitely mad and look fantastic and the best part is the feel as good as they look. Thanks again Rockport for a sexy, classic shoe.

Trials and Trial Strategy
The successful defense of product liability litigation requires counsel who are ready, willing and able to try cases. We are nationally recognized for our depth of trial talent, with a proven track record of trial success in product liability litigation.
Kaye Scholer, as both trial counsel and as national counsel supervising other trial lawyers, has achieved an outstanding track record in pharmaceutical/medical device product liability trials.
Reducing Exposure at the Pre-Trial Stage
According to The American Lawyer: "Narrowing down issues [before trial] has been an essential element of Kaye Scholer's success." The firm's work in the ProteGen® Sling litigation for Boston Scientific was cited: "Kaye Scholer did it all. [Plaintiffs'] strategy was to confuse and overwhelm. They couldn't do that because of how good [Kaye Scholer] was in discovery." The American Lawyer also cited the firm's experience in the Rezulin® litigation, where its lawyers won pretrial rulings that "significantly reduced the plaintiffs' arsenal."
Creative End Game Solutions
Kaye Scholer has been at the forefront of creative solutions to wrap up product liability and mass tort litigations, including a worldwide class action settlement involving more than 50,000 claimants, and in another case, the simultaneous settlement of 35,000 claimants represented by 23 plaintiffs' firms. Kaye Scholer also has designed innovative business solutions to third-party payor litigation.
Teamwork and Collaboration
Because high-stakes litigation calls for the seamless coordination of cases filed across the country and around the world, Kaye Scholer strongly believes in "partnering" with both the client and other law firms. We take full advantage of the talents of other lawyers and work hard to ensure that co-counsel and local counsel are fully engaged as cooperative participants in all matters. According to The American Lawyer: "[Kaye Scholer] lawyers make an effort to ensure that co-counsel and local counsel participate as full team members — a cooperative approach that pleases clients."
Product Liability Counseling/Risk Mitigation
In the medical device industry there are two certainties: All devices have potential complications and some patients will pursue litigation. Acknowledging in advance the likelihood of litigation can help a company take proactive measures to minimize the risks. Kaye Scholer attorneys are experienced in product liability counseling regarding measures which can be taken in a company's most vulnerable areas: promotion and marketing, labeling, and adverse event reporting. We also conduct product liability risk assessments for proposed acquisitions or product extensions.
Cost Containment
Kaye Scholer is adept at cost containment, using various creative methods such as flat fees, blended rates, outsourcing, pre-approved budgets with monthly tracking and analysis, task-based billing entries, and attention to client "cost-benefit" when settlement opportunities arise. For large litigations, Kaye Scholer offers national, regional and/or trial budget modeling; national, regional, and/or trial budget tracking; and vendor cost containment. In 2007, Legal 500 stated that "[Kaye Scholer] provides all potential clients with a budgeting model to set out likely fee structures at the start of the process. The drive to improve value has clearly impressed the market: in the words of one client, 'services, including legal skill and expertise, client attentiveness, and cost-effectiveness all exceed expectations.'"

National Guard veterans seek adjutant general job
MONTPELIER The race to become the next adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard kicked off Friday when a long-serving Air Guard general and a former Army Guard general both said they would seek election to the post in the upcoming session of the Legislature.
There is still time for other candidates to join the race to succeed Adjutant Gen. Thomas Drew, who is not seeking re-election. But so far Air Guard Brig. Gen. Steven Cray, of Essex Junction, and former Army Guard Brig. Gen. Jonathan Farnham are the only announced candidates.
If no other candidates emerge, the race would be between two longtime colleagues who are representatives of the two branches of the 4,000-member Vermont National Guard.
Both men are graduates of the University of Vermont, and both were commissioned as officers in the early 1980s. Both have served overseas during the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, and both have experience with the guards role in responding to state emergencies.
Ive spent a career getting the necessary education, the necessary leadership positions, deploying, things like that to make myself a candidate, Cray said.
Farnham left the military arm of the guard in the spring of 2011 after serving a yearlong deployment in Afghanistan as a general officer and now works as a civilian employee of the guard. He said hes served in almost every leadership position the guard has.
Ive commanded at every level in the guard, Farnham said.
In Vermont, the adjutant general is chosen by a paper ballot of the 180 members of the Legislature. This year the vote is scheduled for Feb. 21. Both Cray and Farnham said they had already begun speaking with lawmakers about their candidacies.
The winner will succeed Drew, who assumed the job last summer after former Adjutant Gen. Michael Dubie resigned to take a Homeland Security job.
The election comes at a time when the guard is facing challenges of the end of its combat roles in Iraq and Afghanistan while the U.S. defense establishment is facing an uncertain financial future.
I think the biggest challenge facing us is the fiscal challenges facing our nation and how the pressures of that is going to affect our Department of Defense, Cray said. Weve already seen that type of pressure from the Air Force being applied to the Air National Guard, and we expect the same to happen on the Army side in the next couple of years.
Farnham echoed concern about the financial challenges facing the guard. He also said he wants to make sure that the states veterans and their families are taken care of and that the guard is ready for the next conflict.
Some of these younger men and women, its going to be a challenge to keep them focused on whats over the next horizon, Farnham said. Its easy to get ready when you know you are going overseas. We want to maintain that edge.MORE IN This Just InWATERBURY Hikers are being reminded that trails throughout Vermont have ever-changing...

This past Thursday, Bryant Park was home to dozens of sheep. The Campaign for Wool, which was launched in October 2008 by HRH The Prince of Wales, took over the center lawn to bring a little consciousness about wool to New York City.
It was hard to miss the Campaign for Wool in Bryant Park. Passers-by stepped into the center of Bryant Park in New York City to gaze into a pen full of sheep, who peacefully stared back. The Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial Fountain on the West side of the park was made to look as if it were spouting colorful wool instead of water. Additionally, the backs of chairs around the park had plaid wool covers, each with information on the Campaign for Wool hanging from them. Mattresses, blankets and pillows on display informed the public on how large of a role wool plays in our lives.
The Campaign for Wool was initiated to create awareness for the declining wool industry. The increasing popularity of man-made synthetic fibers, the declining price paid to farmers for their wool, and a decline in the number of sheep around the world have threatened the wool industry. Through the campaign, HRH the Prince of Wales wishes to educate consumers on what would happen in a world without wool. Wool is one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable fibers, and its declining use has adverse effects on the environment.
Here at Hickey Freeman many of our products are made of 100% wool and we are happy to be a part of the wool industry.

Material split
Love the skirt, great fit but so disappointing that right in front at the bottom, the material opened up and is frayed. Not something that I can get altered/fixed. Does the Limited have a guarantee against the quality of the material?
September 26, 2013
Cute separate
Only problem I've with this is I'm petite (short) so it's a bit longer than pictured, but I still like it. Would be better if they had in short or petite sizes.
June 26, 2013
Fits Great!
This skirt is so comfortable and cute on! It fits great and Is made great! Everyone should own this skirt!
June 24, 2013
Runs small
I ordered this skirt in a 2, which is my normal Limited skirt size. When it came in the mail, it was much tighter than my other skirts. I went to the store and exchanged it for a 6, which was a better fit. Now that I have the right size I like it very much. However, I recommend ordering at least one size up, and only if you have a store nearby you can visit to exchange if necessary.
June 20, 2013
Love this skirt
Bought one in white and absolutely loved the look and fit. Very classy and classic with a fun flare. Bought another in black. Can't go wrong!
June 5, 2013
It's ok!
I ordered this skirt online last week, got it in the mail yesterday and put it on today. I'm not really sold on it, but it did make the final cut for my outfit of the day. Had I realized the fabric, I definitely wouldn't have bought it. It's kind of the exact stretch fabric, it stretches/wrinkles throughout the day and picks up EVERY piece of lint it can. I don't like the way the fabric washes either and it fades if you're not careful with it! However, with all that said, I'm sure I will get a lot of wear out of it, its a good basic black skirt.
June 5, 2013
I love it.....
Its an essential ....Black skirt you can use it everywhere.....
June 3, 2013
"Black collection?"
This is an adorable skirt but most certainly isn't the same color black as any of my black collection suit coats. Still, a super cute skirt with a great fit.

Questions for teachers, parents and students, from an educational psychologist
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
In her new book No One Understands You and What To Do About It, Heidi Grant Halvorson tells readers a story about her friend, Tim. When Tim started a new job as a manager, one of his top priorities was communicating to his team that he valued each member's input. So at team meetings, as each member spoke up about whatever project they were working on, Tim made sure he put on his "active-listening face" to signal that he cared about what each person was saying.
But after meeting with him a few times, Tim's team got a very different message from the one he intended to send. "After a few weeks of meetings," Halvorson explains, "one team member finally summoned up the courage to ask him the question that had been on everyone's mind." That question was: "Tim, are you angry with us right now?" When Tim explained that he wasn't at all angry—that he was just putting on his "active-listening face"—his colleague gently explained that his active-listening face looked a lot like his angry face.
CHELSEA, Ma.—The woman Barry Berman saw sitting in the dining room of the nursing home was not his mother.
Or, at least, she was his mother, but didn't look anything like her. His mother was vivacious, or she had been until she was felled by a massive stroke and then pneumonia, so he'd moved her into a nursing home so she could recuperate. He knew he could trust the nursing home, since he ran it, and knew it was lauded for the efficiency with which it served residents. But when he went to look for his mother a day or two after he moved her in, he barely recognized her.
"I'll never forget the feeling as long as I live," he told me. "I said, 'Oh my God, there's my mother, this old woman, in a wheelchair, lifeless. Look what my own nursing home did to my own mother in a matter of days."
After more than a year of rumors and speculation, Bruce Jenner publicly came out as transgender with four simple words: "I am a woman."
"My brain is much more female than male," he explained to Diane Sawyer, who conducted a prime-time interview with Jenner on ABC Friday night. (Jenner indicated he prefers to be addressed with male pronouns at this time.) During the two-hour program, Jenner discussed his personal struggle with gender dysphoria and personal identity, how they shaped his past and current relationships and marriages, and how he finally told his family about his gender identity.
During the interview, Sawyer made a conspicuous point of discussing broadly unfamiliar ideas about gender and sexuality to its audience. It didn't always go smoothly; her questions occasionally came off as awkward and tone-deaf. But she showed no lack of empathy.
Our patient—we'll call him W.B.—is a 56-year-old father of three who, until last year, had always been healthy. He had worked his entire life, in jobs ranging from automotive repair to sales, taking great pride in providing for his family, even though doing so had recently meant combining three part-time positions. All of that ended in February 2014, when he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. A neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness, ALS leads to the loss of all voluntary movement, difficulty breathing, and, in the end, death.
W.B.'s life was turned upside down by the diagnosis. But once the initial shock passed, he began researching his condition intensively. He learned that he was unlikely to survive five years, and that in the meantime his quality of life would diminish dramatically. With limited options, many patients retreat. But, quite bravely, W.B. had other ideas. After much consideration, he decided that if he was going to die, he would like to try to save another person's life in the process, even if that person was a stranger. And so last May he approached the University of Wisconsin's transplant program, where we are surgeons, as a prospective organ donor.
"People skills" are almost always assumed to be a good thing. Search employment ads and you will find them listed as a qualification for a startling array of jobs, including Applebee's host, weight-loss specialist, CEO, shoe salesperson, and (no joke) animal-care coordinator. The notion that people smarts might help you succeed got a boost a quarter century ago, when the phrase emotional intelligence, or EI, entered the mainstream. Coined in a 1990 study [1], the term was popularized by Daniel Goleman's 1995 book [2]. Since then, scores of researchers have shown how being in touch with feelings—both your own and other people's—gives you an edge: compared with people who have average EI, those with high EI do better at work [3], have fewer health problems [4], and report greater life satisfaction [5].
Today was the latest installment of the never-ending Clinton scandal saga, but it won't be the last. Yet in some ways, the specifics are a distraction. The sale of access was designed into the post-2001 Clinton family finances from the start. Probably nobody will ever prove that this quid led to that quo … but there's about a quarter-billion-dollar of quid heaped in plain sight and an equally impressive pile of quo, and it's all been visible for years to anyone who cared to notice. As Jonathan Chait, who is no right-wing noise-machine operator, complained: "The Clintons have been disorganized and greedy."
"All of this amounts to diddly-squat," pronounced long-time Clinton associate James Carville when news broke that Hillary Clinton had erased huge numbers of emails. That may not be true: If any of the conduct in question proves illegal, destroying relevant records may also have run afoul of the law.
Lots of conservatives talk a good game about how citizens should resist federal control and devolve power to local governments. Few of them are willing to put their convictions into action in quite the same way that Sheriff Joe Arpaio is.
The man who calls himself "America's toughest sheriff" was already in trouble with Uncle Sam, on trial for contempt of court in a U.S. district court. It was only once that was under way that Arpaio and his lawyer apparently had the idea to sic a private investigator on the wife of the federal judge hearing his case. That shows toughness. It shows a willingness to use unorthodox tactics to resist federal interference. It's also not especially bright.
Reporters in the courtroom describe a somewhat shocking scene. Lawyers had completed their questioning when Judge Murray Snow announced he had some questions for Arpaio. After a series of queries, Snow asked: "Are you aware that I've been investigated by anyone?"
When healthcare is at its best, hospitals are four-star hotels, and nurses, personal butlers at the ready—at least, that's how many hospitals seem to interpret a government mandate.
When Department of Health and Human Services administrators decided to base 30 percent of hospitals' Medicare reimbursement on patient satisfaction survey scores, they likely figured that transparency and accountability would improve healthcare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) officials wrote, rather reasonably, "Delivery of high-quality, patient-centered care requires us to carefully consider the patient's experience in the hospital inpatient setting." They probably had no idea that their methods could end up indirectly harming patients.

Proteins are the 'doers' of the cell. They are huge in number and variety and diverse in structure and function, serving as both the structural building blocks and the functional machinery of the cell. Just about every process in every cell requires specific proteins.
Let us begin by listing some of the basic cellular processes and the role that proteins play.
Chemical catalysis Enzymes, which are responsible for catalysing biological reactions, are the largest functional group of proteins. Whilst there are thousands of different enzymes, all catalysing different reactions, they do have some features in common and can often be identified as members of a particular family of enzymes.
Mechanical support Typically, support is provided by proteins, e.g. the cytoskeletal proteins inside the cell and the extracellular matrix proteins outside the cell.
Communication The signals within and between cells (e.g. cytokines) and the apparatus for recognising and interpreting or reacting to signals (receptors and transducers) are mainly proteins.
Adhesion Cell surface proteins mediate contact between cells and between a cell and the extracellular matrix (which is also made up of proteins).
Movement Proteins generate movement in a cell (motor proteins).
Defence Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are proteins that recognise specific targets (usually proteins themselves). This facility is critical for an immune response.
Transport Proteins are key molecules in the transport of substances both within a cell and to and from the cell.
Storage A number of proteins serve to store small molecules or ions; for example, ferritin binds iron and stores it in the liver.
You will come across many examples in this unit of proteins performing the functions outlined above, and the molecular basis for various cellular processes will be examined in some detail. The basic principles of protein structure and function, which are reviewed in this unit, are crucial to understanding how proteins perform their various roles.
The huge diversity in the functions of proteins is reflected in the specialisation of these molecules. As you will see in this unit, every protein optimally performs a particular job and the key to how it does so is its structure. The refinement of protein structure and optimisation of protein function are driven by evolutionary pressures. Mutations at the DNA level that result in a change in protein structure and function will persist if they enhance survival or are not detrimental to the organism.
Proteins come in as many different shapes and sizes (Figure 1) as they have functions. A broad distinction is made between globular proteins and fibrous proteins. Globular proteins are a particularly diverse group that includes enzymes, receptors and transport proteins, and are characterised by a roughly spherical compact shape. Fibrous proteins are elongated and rod-like (e.g. collagen, represented in (Figure 1) and often have a structural role. Most of the proteins discussed in this unit are globular proteins, which reflects both their number and the fact that they lend themselves to structural analysis by X-ray diffraction and NMR.
In this unit, we will consider aspects of the structure of proteins and illustrate how, through their interactions with other cellular components, they can function as dynamic molecular machines. We will begin by exploring the three-dimensional nature of proteins, reviewing some of their biochemistry and the biophysical rules that determine their structure and studying key structural elements that are common to many proteins. You will encounter these activities as you progress through the unit. The relationship between protein structure and function is explored using as examples a variety of different proteins, including enzymes, signalling proteins and transport proteins. All proteins bind other substances, often other proteins or organic molecules or inorganic ions. These interactions are integral to a protein's function and their specificity and affinity are critically determined by the protein's structure. This aspect is discussed at some length. The unit finishes with a consideration of some of the techniques employed in studying protein–protein interactions.

Achondrogenesis is a group of severe disorders that are present from birth and affect the development of cartilage and bone. Infants with achondrogenesis usually have a small body, short arms and legs, and other skeletal abnormalities that cause life-threatening complications.[1] There are at least three forms of achondrogenesis, type 1A, type 1B and type 2, which are distinguished by signs and symptoms, pattern of inheritance, and the results of imaging studies such as x-rays (radiology), tissue analysis (histology), and genetic testing. [2] Type 1A and 1B achondrogenesis are both inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Type 1B may be caused by mutations in the SLC26A2 gene. Type 2 achondrogenesis is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and is caused by new (de novo) mutations in the COL2A1 gene.[1]

First of all, it's important to understand what planning and building regulations are. It's easy to think of them as restrictive, bureaucratic tools put in place purely to thwart your ambitions. However, they're essential safety mechanisms which have been designed to protect you, your neighbours and the local environment.
The regulatory bodies will give you permission to carry out your plans unless there are very good reasons not to - in which case they must explain their decision. And if you disagree, you have the right to appeal against it.

The Colombian Cartel (aka the "Cartel" in Grand Theft Auto Advance) is a prominent South American drug syndicate in Liberty City and the main group of antagonists in Grand Theft Auto III.
GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories
The Colombian Cartel is exceptionally well armed, and are led by Catalina and Miguel to produce and supply the drug SPANK in Liberty City. It is suggested by Liberty City police records that the Colombian Cartel may be using the local airport and a harbor freight as a front to smuggle the SPANK drug into Liberty City, although they have yet to thoroughly prove this. In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Rise FM DJ Boy Sanchez mentions having tried a new drug on the street called "SPANK". This means that SPANK was at least in production in 1998. Miguel was leading this cartel during this period as well; it is unknown when Catalina joined the cartel but she is seen with Claude and Cartel members robbing a bank in the beginning of GTA III. Catalina shot her boyfriend Claude and took off with the money the pair had just robbed from a bank. After Claude's feud with the Triads ceases, he faces the Colombian Cartel as a new and worse enemy for the rest of the game.
Miguel is later linked to the assassination of Yakuza leader Kenji Kasen, although he actually had nothing to do with it (real estate mogul Donald Love ordered Claude to make it look like the Cartel's doing to start a gang war and drive real estate prices down). He is later chained up in the incomplete skyscraper in Fort Staunton by Kenji's sister Asuka and tortured non-stop until he is killed by Catalina, when she kidnaps Maria and kills Asuka. Catalina assumes command of the Cartel herself. After trying to escape in a helicopter, her helicopter is shot down by Claude as revenge for betraying him, and trying to kill him.
It is clear that the Cartel is linked to the Panlantic Construction Company, a company serving as both a legitimate construction company and a front for illegal operations. In GTA Liberty City Stories, Cartel members were hired by Panlantic as bodyguards for Avery Carrington, who was working for Panlantic and arrived in Liberty City to acquire real estate for development. After Avery was killed by Toni Cipriani, Donald Love took over negotiations with Panlantic to seal the deal on developing Fort Staunton, which would be later destroyed by bombs planted by Cipriani. In GTA III, the construction site in Fort Staunton serves as the Cartel's turf in Staunton Island until it is seized by the Yakuza, erupting into an endless gang war.
With Catalina's death it is certain the gang lost a lot of influence in the city as it would be taken over by a less competent member.
Cartel members wear Hawaiian shirts, combat pants, hats resembling Akubras and boots in GTA III. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the same members wear red or blue shirts with brown vests, pairs of pants and jewelry. Their favorite radio stations are Flashback FM and Rise FM.

It's mainly about the inlining. Yes, it can have that big an effect.
C++ templates much exacerbate that effect, when you have templates calling templates calling templates, you can get thousands of pointless function calls without inlining.
Then why not use something like -march=i686 -msse -msse2? That would enable gcc to use cmov and sse/sse2 instructions and the binaries would still run on a P4.This change is mainly to benefit 32-bit systems where SSE support can't be assumed by default, but with the i965 driver, more often than not it can be assumed an Intel Core 2 processor or newer is in use. (The older Intel processors are generally using the i915 driver.) By setting the -march=core2 flag, for i386 builds SSE would now be used for floating-point math and cmov instructions, plus other performance optimizations.
This patch was ultimately rejected since it turns out there's still some old Pentium 4s that could be found in an i965 driver configuration where things might break.

-Os is slower in some cases, tried it now on r200 and immidiately i can see slower menus in supertuxkart: going through kart chooser for example is slugish, so no go...
From my experiance maybe -O1 is the best for mesa stability, but safe is to just go with -O2 and -pipe that will produce smaller libraries or if you want to play with processor optimisation then add -march=blabla , but always stick with -O2 if you want and to keep driver stability.
Actually, since the functions code would be executed anyway, you should always gain performance from avoiding the new stack entry. The main drawbacks they try to avoid are probably bigger binaries, more memory usage for very large functions.
And it could potentially allow even more optimization with the "neighbouring" code, since it's not isolated in a function anymore. There way too many things to consider in compiler optimization.
It would be nice to have a database/list of programs and their fastest compile flags (depending on the compiler/version of course).
Question is indeed if mesa is speed limiting step (aka bottleneck) in the whole system here. But it won't hurt to keep my Gentoo CFLAGS like they are. Mainly march set and -O2. In few cases I actually use -Os for VIA CPUs or AMD's old Geode LX. Few packages might dislike messing too much with CFLAGS though.
My understanding is that right now the biggest bottleneck in the oss graphics stack is GEM/TTM. It needs replaced, but I don't think anybody has a good idea on what to replace it with.

Believe we are already doing this for GCN hardware. It's not actually a separate VM (didn't think Nouveau does that either), just a separate virtual address space**, but we do use the GPUVM page tables to control what the GPU can access. GPUVM is also implemented for Cayman but don't remember if it's enabled by default yet.The ideal way is isolating users in a separate VM by restricting a GPU user to its own data through abstracting the memory address space. This method is already used by the Nouveau driver for NVIDIA GeFore 8 hardware and newer while it's possible to be supported by the AMD Radeon HD 7000 series and newer along with Intel Sandy Bridge graphics and newer.
** Yay for confusing acronyms... VM can be Virtual Memory or Virtual Machine, but "separate VM" implies Virtual Machine...
AMD GPUs have hardware support to minimize context switching delays in Cayman, GCN and beyond... basically the ability to have multiple page tables, each associated with a "VM ID" or VMID, then have the hardware automatically switch between them as needed. The HW supports a finite number of VMIDs so they do need to be managed carefully but starting with Cayman there are enough VMIDs to mimimize the overhead.The problem with this separate VM approach though is that it does increase the context-switching delay, which could particularly cause problems when using DRI2 and Qt5 and other cases. Right now what the Radeon and Intel open-source drivers is command submission validation by making sure they aren't accessing bad areas of RAM. This method yields a lower context-switching delay and doesn't have any specific hardwae requirements, but does come at a cost of higher CPU usage with needing to check the CS packets for their validity.
As mentioned, it is possible to use GPUVM in earlier hardware but without VMID support the context switching delays make it impractical so we use continue to use command submission validation for older hardware.

Review: Sahara Dry Gin
Posted by Arctic Wolf on August 30, 2012
Highwood Distillers is a Canadian distillery situated in the town of High River, Alberta, which lies just about 40 minutes due south of Calgary, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. I have visited the distillery and watched first hand as they turned the local wheat into whisky, vodka. and gin. Sahara Dry Gin is produced in the London Dry style. This spirit is produced from Canadian wheat and naturally sourced Rocky Mountain water. Juniper, Citrus of Lemon, and other botanicals are all added during the final distillation.
This is s very dry gin. So dry in fact, that the folks at Highwood named it Sahara. I was provided with a sample bottle of this gin from the folks at Highwood Distillers (early in the summer) for the purpose of a review on my website.
Here is an excerpt from the resulting review:
Here is a link to my full review:
Review: Sahara Dry Gin
I have also provided a very nice 'cooler' style cocktail to enjoy with the Sahara, one I call the Jumping Buffalo Cooler. Please enjoy my review and my suggested cocktail.

Brewers hope to regain momentum in series finale
First, Kyle Lohse endured a painfully long offseason, waiting until the final week of Spring Training to sign as a free agent with the Brewers. Next came an abbreviated Cactus League stint, which consisted of one start. The whirlwind ended Friday, when Lohse debuted for his new team with six solid innings against the D-backs.
Now comes a return to normalcy, the grind of a long season.
Lohse will make his second start Wednesday night, when the Brewers play the last of a three-game series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Scott Feldman will go for Chicago, which stopped a four-game losing streak with Tuesday's 6-3 win.
Although Lohse barely got a taste of a normal Spring Training, he was the lone Brewers pitcher to deliver a quality start during the team's first turn through its starting rotation. The 34-year-old right-hander held Arizona to one run on five hits, walking none and striking out five while throwing 61 of his 87 pitches for strikes.
"Hopefully, what we saw the other day, hopefully that continues," manager Ron Roenicke said. "We're going to want him there every fifth day."
If Lohse's unusual offseason is going to have any effect, it has not shown up so far.
"He came out of it real well," Roenicke said.
Feldman will make his Wrigley Field debut after signing a one-year deal with the Cubs this offseason. On Friday, the right-hander needed 102 pitches to get through 4 2/3 innings at Atlanta, giving up four runs on five hits and four walks.
The game figures to serve as an appropriate introduction to Wrigley's frequently adverse conditions. The starting temperature for Tuesday night's game was 39 degrees, with winds at 23 miles per hour, and the weather is not expected to improve much for the rest of the series.
"Stick a finger up and find out where it's blowing every inning," said Cubs infielder Brent Lillibridge, who has also played for the White Sox. "It's just part of the game. All you can do is square the ball up and hope for the best. But it's part of that windy April for both sides. It's tough."
Brewers: Ailing Roenicke soldiers on
• Despite Wrigley Field's unpleasant conditions, Roenicke fought past severe back spasms to manage Tuesday's game. Roenicke began experiencing problems overnight and went to a Chicago emergency room early in the morning before receiving treatment and returning to the team hotel.
"It's been bothering me for a few days, but not enough to -- I could still throw, hit fungoes," Roenicke said. "It was just a bad position in bed, watching a movie, and I couldn't move."
• It didn't take long for the Brewers to make a change at closer, with John Axford being removed from the role for a second straight season following three rough appearances. Jim Henderson will take over temporarily in save situations.
Axford's struggles continued in middle relief Tuesday when he surrendered three runs in two-thirds of an inning to take his second loss.
Cubs: Staying the course through struggles
The Cubs entered Tuesday's game ranked 29th in the Majors with a .186 batting average and 28th with a .136 average with runners in scoring position.
"You have to go up there thinking you're trying to square a ball up up the middle, and it shouldn't change just because there's a guy on third base. It shouldn't change because it's the bottom of the ninth," Lillibridge said. "That's what separates great baseball players from the guys that hit .250, versus the guys that hit .400. They just take advantage of it. It's a mindset, that's all it is. It doesn't change anything. If anything, you should be more relaxed and say, 'Hey, the pitcher's the one who's in a jam.'"
The bats came alive a bit Tuesday as the Cubs scored five runs in their final two innings at the plate to secure a comeback win. They finished with nine hits and went 2-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
Worth noting
• Despite his time with the Cardinals, Lohse has pitched only one game at Wrigley Field since 2009, giving up three runs in six innings last season.
• David DeJesus is 12-for-26 (.462) against Lohse with a home run, while Alfonso Soriano is 20-for-56 (.357) with four homers and 12 RBIs.
