Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Is Charlie Sykes being positioned to be next Glenn Beck?
According to the liberal website Media Matters, the Journal Broadcast Group is positioning WTMJ-AM (620) talk show host Charlie Sykes to be a national conservative voice similar to that of Glenn Beck. »Read Full Blog Post

Some people have the skills that make them good at pumping sewage and driving a "honey-wagon". Thank goodness those people have a skill lest their children starve. Charlie Sykes is that person.
I am an obama supporter and need help with your statement
Really reaching on that one geoman.
Psycho is a right wing wack job whose sole job is to spew right rig propaganda. Typical arrogant, spoiled, rich boy looking down at the rest of society. Total jerk as a human being.

I don't see him as a crier, though. His make-up would run.
Are you insinuating Charlie Sykes has behaved like John Edwards and Newt Gingrich when it comes to marital faithfulness?
Irony here is that Sykes isn't shy about telling you he's a conservative with conservative views and positions, yet this newspaper, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, still trys to pass itself off as an "unbiased" new source.
For example, at the very least, you'd think in the heat of such an important Senate election they could show us Tammy Baldwin's voting record.
The hysteria of the Left is quite entertaining though.-
You need the MJS to tell you Tammy Baldwin's voting record? You shouldn't be allowed to vote if you are that lazy and/or ignorant.
I don't need to hear it, but those who rely on the paper (the ignorant ones) for their news need to see it.
Nice try.
The ignornat ones are those who lap up the Sykes drivel
There's no reason NOT to publish her voting record, unless you don't want the truth known for fear it might upset your political agenda....
How about they publish her voting record when her opponent publishes his tx returns?
Why r u people obsessed with tax returns????????????????????
They are obsessed with tax returns because it's one of the ways they can create a negative buzz about the opponent. If they can't beat you with the issues and a debate, they can demonize you for earning too much money which feeds into the narrative of poor vs the rich. More class warfare.
if Charlie were remotely conservative, he would have backed Santorum's "Make it in America."
If Charlie were remotely conservative he would have backed Ron Paul on Wall Street, legalizing pot, and ending the occupations.
If Charlie were remotely conservative, he would call out the JS for accepting ad dollars from the taxpayers via Gov. Walker's WEDC. It's on the front-page bracketing the Newswatch box.
If you were remotely conservative you would notice.
JRN Chairman, Steve Smith, is creating a special pay wall for Charlie. What's wrong with the one he's already got at the JS? JS can do webinars and video.
It looks to me like this will cannibalize WTMJ620's listeners. Why listen to Charlie live when you can skip all the commercials and get the good stuff in podcasts, blogs, tweets. It's an invitation to listen to another station.
Worse, non-compete clauses understandably don't hold up in court. JRN is taking on all the risk. They're investing in building Charlie's state-wide and national reputation with their Journal Broadcast Group outlets: Omaha, Boise, Tulsa, ........ In a few year Charlie will claim RightWisconsin/JRN isn't letting him be "conservative," enough and bolt. Then he'll self-incorporate and rake all the subscriber fees in directly. The sponsors will drop JRN and pay Charlie directly.
I don't see the similarities. Glenn Beck was way more of a Libertarian or constitutionalist than a conservative In my opinion. I love this country, served 6 years in the military and if I had to define myself politically it would be "libertarian". That said if I had a hard time getting to sleep I would just toss on one of Glenn Beck's constitutional rants and I would be out like a baby.
Libs hate the constitution....Good Night Moon is more ur speed
How do you cheat on ex-wife? Must be a non-factor that the likes of Clinton, Edward, Kennedy, etc. all did quite well at wife cheating.
Good point I cheat on my ex-wife all the time.
Duane..change the name of your column. You have 2/3rds an alliteration, yet you opt for a lebowskiesque handle.
I won't root for him to fail, like he does for so many.
But Milwaukee to National is a BIG jump. I hope he and his loved ones are ready to have ALL the skeletons dragged out of the closet...-
National? It's called "Right Wisconsin".
If they want to position him to be a figure as recognizable as Beck, they're hoping for national attention.
Jumping from Milwaukee to national is not as big of a leap as you might think. Mark Belling has been filling in for Rush Limbaugh for some time now. Of course it helps that Clear Chaneel owns WISN-AM and a subisidiary of Clear Channel syndicates Rush's show. But from what I understand (I do not listen to Rush) Mr. Belling is doing rather well at filling in for Rush. With today's technology, Belling does not have to leave Milwaukee to do this.
Charlie Sykes would be a much better sub for Rush Limbaugh that Mark Belling. CS is smarter, has a more agile mind, and can keep an audience awake. Belling can't.
No doubt Journal Broadcast Group wants to take Charlie Sykes national. First, their cross town rival is already doing this with Mark Belling. Second, Journal Communications wants to boost profits and stock price anyway they can since the Journal Sentinel has been dragging both down in a year with the broadcast group is having a great year financially. If anyone hasn't noticed, the MJS is now a right wing newspaper, and they are pushing any and all staff, not just journalists, who are not far right of center out the door as fast as they can offer buyouts.
Have you read a J. Stein article lately?????????
You mean like how he was found with his now wife (on the lake lighting "fireworks") while he was still married to his ex?
"Hard conservative talk"?
Sykes is a conservative talk radio host. There's nothing hard about it.-
I don't agree with everything Sykes has to say but most of the things he talks about is common sense in my opinion. Common sense can be a hard thing to comprehend these days.
"... nothing hard about it." TWSS
the next intelligent thing Sykes says will be the first!!! DB
Charlie's an old school liberal who used to have the Milwaukee city hall beat back in the days when a place like Milwaukee could support two daily newspapers. Times change. Now he's a hard edged conservative on talk radio.
I hope he doesn't follow Beck's path. It's less substance and mostly rant.

adidas adizero CC Feather II Shoe Review

- Little to no break-in required
- Great ventilation

- Comfort
- Lightweight
- Too wide for narrow feet
On the heels of the success of the adizero Feather IIs, adidas set out to make the shoe even lighter, faster and more ventilated. In our humble opinion, adidas has succeeded. The biggest change in the newest Feather IIs is the introduction of ClimaCool technology, which is used all over the upper of the shoe to make it faster and more breathable. However, what is most impressive is that while the CC Feather II is an ultra lightweight shoe, it does not sacrifice anything in the stability and outsole durability departments. Even though the shoe feels more like a slipper than a heavy duty tennis shoe, there was more than enough support to make aggressive cuts all over the court. The addition of ClimaCool also makes this one of the most well-ventilated shoes we've ever tried. It's perfect for players in hot, humid climates. This update takes the already impressive Feather IIs to a whole new level.
Comfort - Score: 4.7
These shoes shone in the comfort department and received incredibly high marks in this category from all the playtesters. Mark was impressed from the moment he put these on. He said, "Usually the lighter high performance tennis shoes either use materials that make the uppers too stiff or use so much mesh to keep the weight down that I do not feel laterally stable. What a great blend of materials adidas has used to develop a shoe that has the out-of-the-box comfort my feet appreciate! I always slip my foot into a test shoe without any socks to feel how spartan or plush a shoe feels, and the latest evolution of the CC Feather II had no seams. No portion of the shoe, when flexed, pinched my feet in any way. Impressive."
Andy found immediate comfort as well. He noted, "This shoe is super comfortable right out of the box. When I put it on I could feel the cushioning all around the foot. When I hit the court there was more than enough cushioning in every area that I needed it. I found myself walking around the office in these shoes, even when I wasn't playing, because I found them so comfortable."
Chris found the cushioning to be just right after just a slight break-in period. He offered, "I found these shoes to require just a slight break-in before being truly comfortable. The majority of the upper felt comfortable right away, but the area around the ankle collar dug in a little for the first hour of play. Once that area broke in I found these to be extremely comfortable shoes. I loved the way the uppers flexed up around my toes. The uppers moved and flexed with my feet, and that made them feel very light and fast. The level of cushioning was perfect. I had all the protection I needed for hard court play, yet the cushioning felt responsive and low profile."
Ventilation - Score: 5.0
This was one of the most highly rated shoes in in this category that we've ever tested. The addition of adidas' ClimaCool technology gave this shoe incredible breathability. "These are by far the most vented shoes I've played in," proclaimed Chris. "The breathability was excellent, and I scored them top marks. When playing outside I could feel the cool air flowing through the shoes as I walked or ran around. My feet never got too hot in these shoes, and I would highly recommend them if you play in hot climates, or if you just like lots of ventilation in your shoes."
Andy's sweaty feet found solace in the CC Feather IIs. He said, "Ventilation is one of the strong points of this shoe. The introduction of adidas' ClimaCool technology to the upper makes the shoe really cool feeling and breathable. There's also tons of mesh all around the shoe, making it ideal for people who find that their feet sweat quite a bit (that's me)."
Mark enjoyed the ventilation as well. He said, "Walking out to my car on a cold night after work provided me with plenty of cold air on my feet. I wear a middle of the road sock in terms of thickness, and the level of ventilation these shoes featured was more than sufficient."
Arch Support - Score: 3.3
Our playtest team found the arch support to be on the low side, but it also fit the players' feet just fine. Mark's arches fit these shoes better than some adidas shoes he had tried in the past. He said, "Some of the shoes from adidas that I have worn seem to have the arch support closer to the front of the shoe than my feet like, but the new CC Feather II complements my foot type very well."
Chris felt that his high arches were still well supported in these CC Feather IIs. He offered, "My arches are on the high side, and the arch support in these shoes fit a little low for me. However, stability through the arch area was great, and my arches felt very protected when sprinting around."
It took a little time for Andy's feet to adjust, but once they did the shoes felt good on his slightly flat feet. He said, "I found the arch support to be slightly low, and it actually hit my foot in a certain spot that took me a little while to adjust to. This is not an uncommon thing for me, but when I wear a shoe that doesn't fit me just right my feet will ache until they adjust, which can take a few days. However, once I acclimated I found the arch support to be supportive enough."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 4.0
Though they didn't offer the kind of stability you'd get from a heavier-duty shoe, the CC Feather IIs offered adequate support. Andy found more than enough stability from this super light weight offering. He felt, "For as light and low profile as this shoe is I was shocked at the support and stability I received. I felt totally confident moving aggressively all over the court, from lateral cuts to starting and stopping quickly. My ankles had the least support out of all the different spots on the foot, but it was still adequate. It's not as stable as a Barricade, or even my Gel Resolutions, but for its weight class this Feather is very supportive."
Mark found that there was a perfect balance between comfort and support in the supple uppers of the CC Feather IIs. He said, "Like I mentioned in the Comfort section, many of the lighter tennis shoes are constructed from a somewhat unforgiving material to keep them stable and light, or they have so much mesh that they are mushy on lateral stops. This shoe hits the favorable combination almost flawlessly. I feel secure, confident and comfortable all over the court with the adidas CC Feather II."
Chris, on the other hand, found that the soft uppers and wide fit contributed to a slight loss in stability. He said, "Due to the flex of the uppers and the generous fit for my narrow feet the support and stability were not exceptional. However, I was able to find enough support from the uppers to feel confident when making aggressive lateral cuts. My feet did slide around inside the shoes, even with two pairs of socks, and I put that down to a combination of the fit and the amount of give in the upper material. The fit felt the same as the regular adizero Feather II, it was just that the uppers in this CC version felt softer and more flexible, which resulted in more give when coming to a stop or making a lateral cut."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 3.8
Once again, you will not get the kind of sole durability you would out of a beefier shoe, but for its weight class the CC Feather IIs have excellent durability. A "not-as-slowed-down-as-he-thinks" Mark got more than enough durability out of his pair. He said, "I do not hammer shoes the way I did when I was younger, but I go through my sole warranty shoes in three months or so. As less material equals quicker wear time, I generally stay away from the lighter shoes. This shoe has worn wonderfully and is one of the more durable lightweight shoes I've tested."
Chris found these shoes to be very competitive in their weight class in terms of durability. He said, "These shoes seem to be built for speed over durability. Having worn the regular adizero Feather II, I knew what to expect from this one because the outsole appears to be the same. As far as speed shoes go, I would say these are one of the more durable options. They have lasted better than the New Balance 851, Nike Air Zoom Vapor 9 Tour and the Asics Gel Solution Speed. Playing an hour a day, five days a week, I can get close to a month of durability out of these, which is pretty solid for me."
Andy hasn't had any problems with the durability of these lightweight shoes. He offered, "Just like the support and stability, I was very surprised with the sole durability of the Feathers IIs. I have not put enough time into them to determine exactly how long it would take me to wear through them, but they definitely are lasting me a good while. They are more durable than the Nike 2K12s and about the same as my Gel Resolutions. I am wearing them out the most right under my big toe, which is the standard spot where I wear out my shoes."
Toe Durability - Score: 3.3
Our toe-dragging playtesters had differing opinions on the toe durability of these shoes. Chris would've liked a little more protection for his toe-dragging habits. He said, "There is some vulnerability to the toes of these shoes. I found the rubber-like material over the mesh to be a little thin where it wraps around the lateral edge of the toe tip. I drag the lateral side of the toe of my left shoe when lunging wide to hit a slice backhand (which I seem to hit a lot recently since playtester Andy regularly has me on the run to that wing). I'd like to see the material up around the toes be a little beefier -- not so much as to weight down the shoes, but just enough to add some needed durability."
Mark, however, found more than enough durability in the toe area. He said, "I am not known to be the most extreme of toe draggers, but again, my shoes usually wear out in three months, and always in the toe portion of the shoe. The toe area is reinforced very well for a lighter shoe, and I thought it was intelligently designed, with the rubber wrapping over the toe box of the shoe. My test shoe definitely shows wear after 15-20 hours of hard play, but only about half way through the toe."
Traction - Score: 4.5
The traction of the CC Feather IIs was excellent on the different hard courts that we tested them on. Chris found just the right amount of give from the outsole for his aggressive on-court movements. He said, "I really like the traction offered by these shoes. They allow me to slide when I need to slide, yet there's plenty of grab when I go to push off. The outsole is actually designed to do that, and I found a superb combination of give and grip. I felt like I could rely on the amount of traction I was getting at all times, and that gave me the confidence to play aggressively and chase down everything."
"Playing on a hard court most of time, I felt like the starts and stops were predictable and efficient," said Mark. "With the compound/configuration of the rubber and the pliable but durable upper, this version of the CC Feather II ranks up there as one of the best light tennis shoes I have worn."
Andy found almost too much traction when making cuts around the court. He offered, "The traction on these shoes is excellent, and sometimes almost too good. They have a unique tread pattern, and sometimes I found the shoes grabbing more than I would like when going out wide to slide into a ball (on a hard court). I definitely never felt like I lacked grip on the court, and I felt very confident stretching out wide and cutting back to the middle, even on a slick outdoor court."
Weight - Score: 4.8
We knew that the CC Feather IIs were going to be light, but we really liked that adidas found a way to provide enough support in this light of a shoe. Andy loved the lightweight feeling of these shoes. He said, "This is the lightest-weight tennis shoe I have worn where I have felt totally confident moving around the court aggressively. Normally with a shoe this light the support is lacking, but not in these. The light weight of this shoe is very noticeable and extremely comfortable. Another great feature of this shoe that lives up to its name (the Feather)."
Mark really liked the low-profile feel of these shoes compared with some heavier alternatives. He said, "I consider any shoe weighing less than 15 ounces to be on the lighter side, and this shoe is considerably lighter than that. No embellishment on the Feather title. I notice that I can move around the court with a little less effort than with the 18 ounce beasts that I normally wear."
Chris sometimes forgot that he was even wearing shoes. He offered, "I've not weighed them, but these shoes feel extremely light on court. The uppers flex exceptionally well and move with my feet, so any sensation of weight just disappears. When combined with the high level of traction, these felt like very fast shoes that were perfect for sprinting around the court. Ultimately, I could have done with a tad more support and toe durability even if meant a little more weight, but I am getting very, very picky here."
Overall - Score: 4.5
Chris - "I loved the lightweight feel, traction, comfort, cushioning, ventilation and styling."
Mark - "Just about every darn thing."
Andy - "I loved its light weight combined with the support and stability. I also loved how breathable it was, and the surprising durability."
Chris - "The fit is a tad wide to be ideal for me (I'm one of the few who loved the narrow fit of the original adizero Feather), and I could use a little more toe durability."
Mark - "I suppose the option of other color ways besides the yellow/white would please me, but the shoe is so top notch that I would wear a margarine/butter colored pair without hesitation."
Andy - "Not much, although I would have liked the toe box to be just slightly more narrow (although I didn't find the width to affect the performance of the shoe all that much). It was also nicely cushioned, but compared to my Gel Resolutions the cushioning felt a little thin around the foot."
Comparing the CC Feather IIs to other shoes they've worn, our testers said:
Chris - "The closest shoe to this is the non CC version of the adizero Feather II. The width and level of cushioning and traction are the same, but these offer more give, feel lighter and faster and offer the best ventilation out there. Even though the Gel Solution Speeds fit my feet better, I would rock these due to their superior traction. I found the durability to be slightly better than the Vapor 9 Tour, but the fit and support is not as good."
Mark - "I have to say that this has got to be one of the better light shoes available right now. I love the Vapor 9 Tour as well, but its lack of durability is a factor for me. The Feather II is a slightly stiffer shoe than the Vapor 9 Tour but is quite a bit more durable. Compared with the New Balance MC 851, the CC Feather II had me feeling much more confident and comfortable. The other light shoe I have worn lately is the Asics Solution Speed, which I liked as well, but the new Feather II is still the light shoe I would purchase and wear for match play."
Andy - "Unfortunately, I have not worn the previous versions of this shoe so I can't compare it to its predecessors. However, it felt similar to the Nike Vapor 9 Tour, but with a slightly more roomy fit and more durability. This is a great shoe for players looking for a lightweight, low profile shoe with a roomy fit that is up to the test of some hard hours on court."
Playtester Foot Types:
Chris - Narrow width / Medium arch
Mark - Medium width / Medium arch

Unified shaders
The "R600" is the first personal computer graphics processing unit (GPU) from ATI based on a unified shader architecture. It is ATI's second generation unified shader design and is based on the "Xenos" GPU implemented in the Xbox 360 game console, which used the world's first such shader architecture. Previous GPU architectures implement separate processors for each type of graphics function. A unified architecture leverages many flexible processors which can be scheduled to process a variety of shader types, thereby significantly increasing GPU throughput (dependent on application instruction mix as noted below). The R600 core processes vertex, geometry, and pixel shaders as outlined by the Direct3D 10.0 specification for Shader Model 4.0 in addition to full OpenGL 3.0 support.
The new unified shader functionality is based upon a Very long instruction word (VLIW) architecture in which the core executes operations in parallel.
A shader cluster is organized into 5 stream processing units. Each stream processing unit (except the 5th) can retire a finished single precision floating point MAD (or ADD or MUL) instruction per clock, dot product (dp, and special cased by combining ALUs), and integer ADD. The 5th unit is more complex and can additionally handle special transcendental functions such as sine and cosine. Each shader cluster can execute 6 instructions per clock cycle (peak), consisting of 5 shading instructions plus 1 branch .
Notably, the VLIW architecture brings with it some classic challenges inherent to VLIW designs, namely that of maintaining optimal instruction flow.
R600 core includes 64 shader clusters, while RV610 and RV630 cores have 8 and 24 shader clusters respectively.
See also: Very long instruction word
Hardware tessellation
The GPU is equipped with an extra feature which is not part of the current DirectX 10.0 specification. It contains programmable tessellation units, similar to those within the Xenos GPU (codenamed "C1") also developed by ATI. This unit allows a developer to take a simple polygon mesh and subdivide it based on a curved surface evaluation function, with different tessellation forms as Bzier surfaces with N-patches, B-splines and NURBS, and even some subdivision surface techniques, which usually comes with a displacement map texture. Essentially, this allows a simple, low-polygon model to be increased dramatically in polygon density in real-time with minimized performance loss. Scott Wasson of Tech Report noted during an AMD demo of the technology that the resulting model was so dense with millions of polygons that it appeared to be solid.
This unit is reminiscent of ATI's earlier "TruForm" technology, used initially in the Radeon 8500, which performed a similar function in hardware. While this tessellation hardware is not part of the current OpenGL or Direct3D requirements, and competitors such as the GeForce 8 series lack similar hardware, Microsoft has included Tessellation as part of their D3D10.1 future plans. The "TruForm" technology from the past received little attention from software developers and was only utilized in a few game titles (such as Madden NFL 2004, Serious Sam, Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004, and unofficially Morrowind), because it was not a feature shared with NVIDIA GPUs which had a competing Tessellation solution using Quintic-RT patches which met with even less support from developers. Since the Xenos contains similar hardware, and Microsoft sees hardware surface tessellation as a major GPU feature with proposed implementation of hardware tessellation support in future DirectX releases (presumably DirectX 11), dedicated hardware tessellation units may receive increased developer awareness in future titles. It remains to be seen whether ATI's implementation will be compatible with the eventual DirectX standard.
Ultra threaded dispatch processor
Although the R600 is a significant departure from previous designs, it still shares many features with its predecessors. The "Ultra-Threaded Dispatch Processor" is a major architectural component of the R600 core, just as it was with the Radeon X1000 GPUs. This processor manages a large number of in-flight threads of three distinct types (vertex, geometry, and pixel shaders) and switches amongst them as needed. With a large number of threads being managed simultaneously it is possible to reorganize thread order to optimally utilize the shaders. In other words, the dispatch processor evaluates what goes in the other parts of the R600 and attempts to keep processing efficiency as high as possible. There are lower levels of "management" as well; each SIMD array of 80 stream processors has its own sequencer and arbiter. The arbiter decides which thread to process next, while the sequencer attempts to reorder instructions for best possible performance within each thread.
Texturing and anti-aliasing
Texturing and final output aboard the R600 core is similar but also distinct from R580. R600 is equipped with 4 texture units that are decoupled (independent) from the shader core, like in the R520 and R580 GPUs.
The render output units (ROPs) of Radeon HD 2000 series now performs the task of multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA) with programmable sample grids and maximum of 8 sample points, instead of using pixel shaders as in Radeon X1000 series. Also new is the capability to filter FP16 textures, popular with HDR lighting, at full-speed. ROP can also perform trilinear and anisotropic filtering on all texture formats. On R600, this totals 16 pixels per clock for FP16 textures, while higher precision FP32 textures filter at half-speed (8 pixels per clock).
Anti-aliasing capabilities are more robust on R600 than on the R520 series. In addition to the ability to perform 8x MSAA, up from 6x MSAA on the R300 through R580, R600 has a new "custom filter anti-aliasing" (CFAA) mode. CFAA refers to an implementation of non-box filters that look at pixels around the particular pixel being processed in order to calculate the final color and anti-alias the image. CFAA is performed by shader, instead of in the ROPs. This brings greatly enhanced programmability because the filters can be customized, but may also bring potential performance issues because of the use of shader resources. As of launch of R600, CFAA utilizes wide and narrow tent filters. With these, samples from outside the pixel being processed are weighted linearly based upon their distance from the centroid of that pixel, with the linear function adjusted based on the wide or narrow filter chosen.
Memory controllers
Memory controllers are connected via internal bi-directional ring bus wrapped around the processor. In Radeon HD 2900, it is a 1024-bit bi-directional ring bus (512-bit read and 512-bit write), with 8 64-bit memory channels for a total bus width of 512-bits on the 2900 XT.; in Radeon HD 3800, it is a 512-bit ring bus; in Radeon HD 2600 and HD 3600, it is a 256-bit ring bus; In Radeon HD 2400 and HD 3400, there is no ring bus.
Video processing, display and miscellaneous features
All video cards except the Radeon HD 2900 series include dedicated ATI's Unified Video Decoder for hardware decoding of MPEG4, VC-1, H.264 video streams, which itself being the major part of AVIVO HD technology. In terms of functionality, NVIDIA's Purevideo 2 offer similar hardware video acceleration, with UVD including greater VC-1 offloading.
HDTV encoding support is implemented via the integrated AMD Xilleon encoder; the companion "Rage Theater" chip used on the Radeon X1000 series was replaced with the digital "Theater 200" chip, providing VIVO capabilities.
For display outputs, all variants include two dual-link TMDS transmitters, except for HD 2400 and HD 3400, which include one single and one dual-link TMDS transmitters. Each DVI output includes dual-link HDCP encoder with on-chip decipher key. HDMI was introduced, supporting display resolutions up to 19201080, with integrated HD audio controller with 5.1-channel LPCM and AC3 encoding support. Audio is transmitted via DVI port, with specially designed DVI-to-HDMI dongle for HDMI output that carries both audio and video.
All variants support CrossFireX technology. CrossFire efficiency was improved and shows performance approaching the theoretical maximum of twice the performance of a single card.
While some of the architecture of Radeon HD 2000 family is similar to Xenos, Radeon HD 2000 family does not have embedded DRAM (eDRAM) frame buffer. Xenos' eDRAM is designed tightly around the limited resolutions at which the Xbox 360 operates. Personal computers operate at maximum efficiency at a much wider range of resolutions, which would require a significantly larger amount of eDRAM to be effective.
Half-generation update
Please help improve this section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page. (May 2009)
The series saw a half-generation update with die shrink (55 nm) variants: RV670, RV635 and RV620. All variants support PCI Express 2.0, DirectX 10.1 with Shader Model 4.1 features, dedicated ATI Unified Video Decoder (UVD) for all models and PowerPlay technology for desktop video cards.
Except the Radeon HD 3800 series, all variants supported 2 integrated DisplayPort outputs, supporting 24- and 30-bit displays for resolutions up to 25601600. Each output included 1, 2, or 4 lanes per output, with data rate up to 2.7 Gbps per lane.
ATI claimed that the support of DirectX 10.1 can bring improved performance and processing efficiency with reduced rounding error (0.5 ULP compared with average error 1.0 ULP as tolerable error), better image details and quality, global illumination (a technique used in animated films, and more improvements to consumer gaming systems therefore giving more realistic gaming experience. )
Desktop products
The R600 family is called the Radeon HD 2000 series, with the enthusiast segment being the "Radeon HD 2900 series" which originally comprised the Radeon HD 2900 XT with GDDR3 memory released on May 14, and the higher-clocked GDDR4 version in early July.
The mainstream and budget segment products were the Radeon HD 2600 and Radeon HD 2400 series respectively, both launched June 28, 2007.
Previously there were no HD 2000 series products being offered in the performance segment while ATI used models from the previous generation to address that target market; the situation was not changed until the release of variants of the Radeon HD 2900 series, the Radeon HD 2900 Pro and GT, which filled the gap of the performance market for a short period of time.
Radeon HD 2900
The Radeon HD 2900 series was based on the codenamed R600 GPU, packed 700 million transistors on an 80 nm fabrication process and had a 420mm die size. The Radeon HD 2900 XT was the first graphics card product to implement digital PWM onboard, specifically 7-phase PWM. The first product of the line, the Radeon HD 2900 XT, was launched on May 14, 2007.
The Radeon HD 2900 Pro was clocked lower at 600 MHz core and 800 MHz memory (1600 MHz effective), configured with 512 MiB or 1 GiB (GDDR3/GDDR4) of video memory and the same 512-bit memory controller as the Radeon HD 2900 XT instead of the previously rumored 256-bit memory controller.
The Radeon HD 2900 GT was a 48-shader cluster variant clocked the same as the HD 2900 Pro with 256 MB of video memory on a 256-bit interface.
Radeon HD 2600
The Radeon HD 2600 series was based on the codenamed RV630 GPU and packed 390 million transistors on a 65 nm fabrication process. The Radeon HD 2600-series video cards included GDDR3 support, a 128-bit memory ring bus and 4-phase digital PWM, spanning a die size of 153 mm. Neither of the GDDR3 reference PCI-E designs required additional power connectors whereas the HD 2600 Pro and XT AGP variants required additional power through either 4-pin or 6-pin power connectors. Official claims state that the Radeon HD 2600 series consumes as little as 45 W of power.[citation needed]
Radeon HD 2600 X2
The Radeon HD 2600 X2 is a dual-GPU product which includes 2 RV630 cores onto a single PCB with a PCI-E bridge splitting the PCI-E x16 bandwidth into two groups of PCI-E x8 lanes (each 2.0 Gb/s). The card provides 4 DVI outputs or HDMI outputs via dongle and supports CrossFire configurations. AMD calls this product the "Radeon HD 2600 X2" as seen by some vendors and as observed inside the INF file of Catalyst 7.9 version 8.411. Sapphire and other vendors including PowerColor and GeCube have either announced or demonstrated their respective "CrossFire on a card" products. Catalyst 7.9 added support for this hardware in September 2007. However, AMD did not provide much publicity to promote it. A vendor may offer cards containing 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB of video memory. Although the memory technology utilized is at a vendor's discretion, most vendors have opted for GDDR3 and DDR2 due to lower manufacturing cost and positioning of this product for the mainstream rather than performance market segment.
Radeon HD 2400
The Radeon HD 2400 series was based on the codenamed RV610 GPU. It had 180 million transistors on a 65 nm fabrication process. The Radeon HD 2400 series used a 64-bit-wide memory bus. The die size is 85 mm. The official PCB design implements only a passive-cooling heatsink instead of a fan, and official claims of power consumption are as little as 35 W.[citation needed] The core has 16 KB unified vertex/texture cache away from dedicated vertex cache and L1/L2 texture cache used in higher end model.
Reports has that the first batch of the RV610 core (silicon revision A12), only being released to system builders, has a bug that hindered the UVD from working properly, but other parts of the die operated normally. Those products were officially supported with the release of Catalyst 7.10 driver, which the cards were named as Radeon HD 2350 series.
Radeon HD 3800
The Radeon HD 3800 series was based on the codenamed RV670 GPU, packed 666 million transistors on a 55 nm fabrication process and had a die size at 192 mm, with the same 64 shader clusters as the R600 core, but the memory bus width was reduced to 256 bits.
The RV670 GPU is also the base of the FireStream 9170 stream processor, which uses the GPU to perform general purpose floating-point calculations which were done in the CPU previously.
The Radeon HD 3850 and 3870 became available mid-November 2007.
Radeon HD 3690/3830
The Radeon HD 3690, which was limited only to the Chinese market where it was named HD 3830, has the same core as the Radeon 3800 series but with only a 128-bit memory controller and 256MB of GDDR3 memory. All other hardware specifications are retained.
A further announcement was made that there would be a Radeon HD 3830 variant bearing the same features as Radeon HD 3690, but with a unique device ID that does not allow add-in card partners in China to re-enable the burnt-out portion of the GPU core for more memory bandwidth.
The Radeon HD 3690 was released early February 2008 for the Chinese market only.
Radeon HD 3800 X2
Radeon HD 3870 X2
Radeon HD 3870 X2 (codenamed R680) was released on January 28, 2008, featuring 2 RV670 cores with a maximum of 1024 MB GDDR3 SDRAM, targeting the enthusiast market and replacing the Radeon HD 2900 XT. The processor achieved a peak single-precision floating point performance of just over 1 TFLOPS (1.06 TFLOPS), being the world's first single-PCB graphics product breaking the 1 TFLOP mark.
The Radeon HD 3870 X2 uses the same approach for communications between the two GPU cores as the Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro Dual and Radeon HD 2600 X2. The GPU cores communicate to each other through an onboard PCI-E switch, providing each core with x8 (Radeon X1950 Pro Dual) to x16 (Radeon HD 2600 X2) PCI-E bandwidth and becoming a software CrossFire setup, supporting two extra hardware CrossFire bridges. The Radeon HD 3870 X2 uses PEX8547 PCI-E switch,, but each core shares x16 PCI-E bandwidth. The card only sees one CrossFire bridge being placed onboard and between the cores, thus only allowing one CrossFire bridge to be plugged onto the card.
AMD stated the possibility of supporting 4 Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards, allowing 8 GPUs to be used on several motherboards, including the MSI K9A2 Platinum and Intel D5400XS, because these motherboards have sufficient spaces between PCI-E slots for dual-slot cooler video cards, presumably as a combination of two separate hardware CrossFire setups with a software CrossFire setup bridging the two, but currently with no driver support.
Radeon HD 3600
The Radeon HD 3600 series was based on the codenamed RV635 GPU, packed 378 million transistors on 55 nm fabrication process, and had 128-bit memory bus width. The support for HDMI and D-Sub ports is also achieved through separate dongles. Beside the DisplayPort implementations, there also exists other display output layouts as dual DVI port or DVI with D-Sub display output layout.
The only variant, the Radeon HD 3650, was released on January 23, 2008.
Radeon HD 3400
AMD Radeon HD3450
The Radeon HD 3400 series was based on the codenamed RV620 GPU, packed 181 million transistors on a 55 nm fabrication process, and had 64-bit memory bus width. Products were available in full height ATX cards and low-profile cards.
One of the notable features is that the Radeon HD 3400 series (including Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series) video cards support ATI Hybrid Graphics.
The Radeon HD 3450 and Radeon HD 3470 were released on January 23, 2008.
Mobile products
All Mobility Radeon HD 2000/3000 series share the same feature set support as their desktop counterparts, as well as the addition of the battery-conserving PowerPlay 7.0 features, which are augmented from the previous generation's PowerPlay 6.0.
The Mobility Radeon HD 2300 is a budget product which includes UVD "in silica" but lacks unified shader architecture and DirectX 10.0 / SM 4.0 support, limiting support to DirectX 9.0c / SM 3.0 using the more traditional architecture of the previous generation. A high-end variant, the Mobility Radeon HD 2700, with higher core and memory frequencies than the Mobility Radeon HD 2600, was released in mid-December 2007.
The Mobility Radeon HD 2400 is offered in two model variants; the standard HD 2400 and the HD 2400 XT.
The Mobility Radeon HD 2600 is also available in the same two flavors; the plain HD 2600 and, at the top of the mobility lineup, the HD 2600 XT.
The half-generation update treatment had also applied to mobile products. Announced prior to CES 2008 was the Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series. Released in the first quarter of 2008, the Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series consisted of two families, the Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series and the Mobility Radeon HD 3600 series. The Mobility Radeon HD 3600 series also featured the industry's first implementation of on-board 128-bit GDDR4 memory.
About the time of late March to early April, 2008, AMD renewed the device ID list on its website with the inclusion of Mobility Radeon HD 3850 X2 and Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2 and their respective device IDs. Later in Spring IDF 2008 held in Shanghai, a development board of the Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2 was demonstrated alongside a Centrino 2 platform demonstration system. The Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2 was based on two M88 GPUs with the addition of a PCI Express switch chip on a single PCB. The demonstrated development board is on PCI Express 2.0 x16 bus, while the final product is expected to be on AXIOM/MXM modules.
Driver support
Main article: ATI Catalyst Drivers
The Purple Pill tool issue, which could allow unsigned drivers to be loaded into Windows Vista and tamper with the operating system kernel, was resolved in the Catalyst 7.8 release (version 8.401). The AVIVO video converter for Windows Vista, and color temperature control in Catalyst Control Center was added with the release of Catalyst 7.9, package version 8.411. Software CrossFire was enabled for HD 2600 and HD 2400 series video cards with the release of Catalyst 7.10 (package version 8.421)
The Catalyst 8.1, package version 8.451, supports for MultiView technology for accelerated OpenGL rendering on multiple video card setup (CrossFire). The driver also allows CrossFire configurations for Radeon HD 3850 and HD 3870 video cards.
The Catalyst 8.3 is described by AMD as a milestone release, supporting DirectX 10.1, ATI CrossFire X technology and allowing the mixing of different Radeon HD 3800 series video cards to form a CrossFire X setup with 2 to 4 GPUs. Catalyst 8.3 introduced to new video controls to further enhance the video playback quality, these controls includes edge enhancement and noise reduction settings. There is also the support for extended desktop in CrossFire X mode. The anti-aliasing support for Unreal Engine 3.0 in DirectX 9.0 games, support for CFAA filters (wide tent and box tent) to be enabled when Super AA is enabled, and other features as developer support for Hardware surface tessellation, hardware accelerated wide aspect ratio LCD scaling, HydraVision support for Windows Vista allowing to add maximum 9 virtual desktops and new Folding@Home client (version 6.10) are also officially supported in this release.
The Catalyst 8.5, package version 8.493 brought new features include component video with 480i and 480p resolutions, SECAM TV output support, 1080p HDTV custom mode via HDMI, 1080p24 (1080p resolution at 24 frame/s) support, HDMI Audio for non-standard TV modes (CEA 861b), support for adaptive anti-aliasing under OpenGL, Windows XP SP3 support and un-install utility enhancements. The driver also includes performance improvements and fixes some instability issues and rendering issues on some games.
It should be note that current Catalyst drivers do not support the AGP versions of Radeon HD 2000/3000 series cards with RIALTO bridge. Installing Catalyst drivers on those cards will yield the following error message: "setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system." or simply fail outright. The AGP cards in question are supported unofficially by ATI/AMD with a "hotfixed" Catalyst driver-set each month since May 2008 with the Catalyst 8.5 hotfix . Their PCI vendor IDs are listed below:
GPU core
PCI device ID
Radeon HD 2400 Pro
Radeon HD 3430
Radeon HD 3450
Radeon HD 2600 Pro
Radeon HD 2600 XT
Please help improve this section by expanding it. Further information might be found on the talk page. (June 2008)
The official closed-source ATI Linux driver was named fglrx, then renamed as Catalyst drivers for Linux, currently version 9.12. In the past there was no support for the AGP versions of the HD 2400 and HD 2600, but support was added in version 8.5 of fglrx.
Another Linux driver is the RadeonHD driver, an open-source ATI R500/600 display driver, it is developed in part by specifications that AMD has openly published. To date, AMD has released register specifications for M56, M76, RV630 and RS690 GPUs and 3D programming guide for the R500 family of GPUs. AMD has committed to releasing their R500 and R600 GPU documentation along with publishing their specifications for past generations of GPUs.
Documentation release
AMD committed to releasing register documentations for each generations of GPU to support the open source community and an open source driver RadeonHD for Linux. Initial register documentation and parser code to execute the AtomBIOS ROM routines were released in September 2007. The R600 family Instruction Set Architecture guide was released on June 11, 2008. Sample code and register headers for the R600 and R700 3D engines were released in December 2008. AMD released the specifications for both the r6xx and r7xx families on January 26, 2009.
New model numbering scheme
The numbering schemes for Radeon HD 3000 series as well as Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series were notably changed. While previous PRO, XT, GT, and XTX suffixes were eliminated, products were differentiated by changing the last two digits of the product model number (for instance, HD 3850 and HD 3870, giving the impression that the HD 3870 model having higher performance than HD 3850). While for dual-GPU products, a new suffix "X2" will be used to identify its nature as dual-GPU on one PCB solution. Similar changes to the IGP naming were spotted as well, for the previously launched AMD M690T chipset with side-port memory, the IGP is named "Radeon X1270", while for the AMD 690G chipset, the IGP is named "Radeon X1250", as for AMD 690V chipset, the IGP is clocked lower and having fewer functions and thus named "Radeon X1200". The new numbering scheme of video products are shown below:
Product Category
Model number
range (steps of 10)1
Price range
Shader amount
Size (MiB)
Dual GPU
>$ 250
2x 256-bit
HDMI, DP (Dongle)

D-Sub, DVI,
HDMI, DP (Dongle)
side-port memory
UMA + 32-bit
(side-port) 4
(OS dependent)

Component (YCbCr)
1 The last two digits denotes variant, similar to the previous suffixes, which "70" is in essence the "XT" variant while "50" is actually the "Pro" variant , while "90" appeared once in the lineup and can be seen as the "XTX" variant.
2 Stream Processors only applicable to Direct3D 10-class video components (Radeon HD 2000/3000 series).
3 All Dual-GPU solutions will have an X2 suffix after the model number.
4 Side-port memory as local frame buffer is only available on selected IGP models, not all IGP models have this feature.
Product confusions
When Radeon HD 2900 was first released, there was much confusion as to whether or not the product included dedicated video processor hardware, due in part to statements that it supported the software program AVIVO HD. Many reviewers and subsequent readers/consumers interpreted this as meaning the HD2900 incorporated the same UVD hardware as found in the HD 2400 & HD 2600 series, despite some sites noting this difference at launch time, weeks before the issue first gained traction as a result of a TechReport article. This confusion and subsequent discussions prompted AMD to make a formal statement designed to clarify exactly what UVD was available in which models. The HD 2900 XT video playback capabilities are similar to those of the previous X1000 cards with AVIVO capabilities.
Starting August, 2007 some system builders including Falcon Northwest received the 1 GB GDDR4 (with Samsung 0.9 ns (K4U52324QE-BC09) GDDR4) version of the Radeon HD 2900 XT. Falcon Northwest incorrectly referred the product as the "Radeon HD 2900 XTX".
It should be noted that several products, branded the Mobility Radeon X2000 series, are in fact based on the older R520 architecture and spotting the support of DirectX 9.0c only and do not have UVD on die.

Kavitha March 7, 2013
ummmmmmmmmmm, veryyyy niiiiiice
>Lance March 5, 2013
very hot woman. I was in a business conference last summer, and this woman was sitting next to me. We both had our laptops, keeping up with the presentation for the first couple of hours, then when we took a break, we talked some. I knew she was about 20 years older than me, but she was still a very sexy woman. She said I don't see a ring, so are you really single, and I said yes I was (still am). During the next part of the presentation, she was sitting closer to me and then wrote me a note to check out a porno she had on a memory stick... I plugged it in and she was the star (with another woman). I immediately got hard, she reached over, smiled and said... how about lunch. We went up to her room, stripped down... after about 5 minutes of foreplay, she wanted to fuck... but I wanted to taste her more... so I continued to suck her clit and tongue her pussy for a few more minutes... she was really squirming on the bed and grabbed my head with both her hands and pulled my head up to her mouth... she loved tasting herself on someone's tongue... while we were doing that, she reached down, grabbed my dick and guided into that hot wet pussy... we fucked the rest of the day, missing the actual presentation, although we had the slides. We had dinner in her room, then fucked the rest of the night. I went to my room at 7 to shower and then show up for the second day of presentation... she came down a little later, we talked a little more, then decided to go back to her room for the rest of the day. We are still in touch with each other, although in different states, and we get together on occasion, not nearly enough for either one of us. Love the older women...

We didnt spot any jaguars, but got to see black spider monkeys, howler monkeys, caiman, boas, toucans, and many other less exotic animals. Fishing was a highlight. it is supposedly easy to catch piranhas on the river, but we ended up with a large catfish. Also went on a day hike through the jungle, a canopy walk, and nocturnal animal spotting. Plenty of pictures attached

Just as you're about to mercilessly dog your cum in her, you yell out "Who's the maverick?" She may be mute with confusion or respond, "I am". Then you donkey punch her, pull out and while squirting all over her ass you proclaim "No! I'm the maverick!"

I'm joining the sub committee next pay check after I check with my wife, not really, but I am joining.(haha)
My daugther drew a few items for me for the group I wanted to share with you guys. I think there's some original stuff here that you might like.
I apologize if I'm coming across pushy and forward, but I'm really excited about joining and getting involved in the community.
I'm not sure how to post a pic of the logo items my daughter drew. Do I need to find a host to post the items and then link them?

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to build a shed base
A firm, level base should be the starting point for any shed or garden building. Without this the structure is likely to be assembled improperly - screw holes will not line up correctly, doors may not fit their doorways and the quality and service life of your shed could be greatly reduced.
Buying guides
Greenhouses buying guide
Whether you want to grow beautiful blooms or tasty fruit and vegetables a greenhouse can give you hours of pleasure and satisfaction. The good news is that you can buy one that will fit into almost any size of garden, no matter how small.
Before you buy your greenhouse, it's well worth considering a few key points:
- Where do you want to put your greenhouse? What is the ground like there, how much space is available and how much sun will it catch on a good day?
- What would you like grow? Are you just seeding or do you want to grow tall plants and vines?
- What is your budget? You can still love your greenhouse, but perhaps without some of the more advanced features found in some models.
- How close to your water and electricity supplies will the greenhouse be? This could determine the greenhouse you buy or change your overall budget.

Phoronix: ATI Radeon KMS Leaves Staging Area In 2.6.33
David Airlie has called upon Linus to pull in a new set of DRM patches for the Linux 2.6.33 kernel, which should land with the Linux 2.6.33-rc7 release. These graphics patches for the Linux kernel bring a few fixes for TTM, Radeon DisplayPort tweaks, r600 blit mutex, and support for the VMware graphics driver with older versions of the VMware Workstation...
From what hardware news sites are saying, it doesn't look like 880G/890GX will be Evergreen-based. All the slides seem to say DX10 or DX10.1, which suggests the R600/R700 generation.
*dances like a madman in the laboratory here*
Finally! Officially! Oh please, Linus, give us a stable 2.6.33 release!
Thanks AMD/free devs!
Now it just needs power management (which would've been one of my primary concerns since my passively cooled 3870 becomes quite hot wo. PM) and some more ... but hey, I'll soon be able to enjoy KMS. Awesome. (that means goodbye tricky fb console setup, right?)
I hope my userland will be ready for this soon enough.
Yeah, 2.6.33 plus Mesa 7.8 is going to rock!
KMS is still not ready in 2.6.33. It's simply too slow and full of graphical glitches (I'm on an RV770). But it's good that it's out of the staging area, as any promising driver should.
IIRC, the main holdup was getting the infrastructure for powersaving ready.
Does this mean that kernel-based powersaving is coming soon?
power saving will likely come in 2.6.34

Supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez gather outside... NyhetsfotoCaracas,Evenemang,Horisontell,Hugo Chávez,Palacio de Miraflores,Palats,Politik,Respekt,Supporter,VenezuelaPhotographer RAUL ARBOLEDACollection: AFP 2013 AFPSupporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez gather outside Miraflores presidential palace during an event in homage of Chavez, in Caracas on January 10, 2013. With Chavez ailing and absent, Venezuela's leftist government launches a new presidential term with a display of popular support on the day he was to be inaugurated. The Supreme Court cleared the cancer-stricken president,kwho is recovering from a fourth round of cancer surgery in Havana, to indefinitely postpone his re-inauguration and said his existing administration could remain in office until he is well enough to take the oath. The government has said that he is recovering from complications from surgery, most recently a severe pulmonary infection that had resulted in a 'respiratory insufficiency.'

For the stuffing:
Shredded Cabbage and Carrot- 2 cups( I used store bought shredded cabbage and carrots)
Hing- a pinch
Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder or finely minced green chilli
Garam masala powder-1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves chopped-a handful
Jeera-1 tsp
Ginger/Garlic grated(optional)-1/2 tsp each(or less)
For the dough:
Whole Wheat Flour-roughly 2 cups
Water as needed
Mix the flour and salt. Add water little by little and make a soft dough. Set aside.
Mix all the ingredients required to make the stuffing.
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the veggies until they become soft(2-3 minutes).
To make parathas:
Divide the dough into golf sized balls.
Lightly flour the rolling board.
Take a ball and roll out into 5 inch circle using a rolling pin.
Place 2 tbsp of the stuffing in the center.
Lift the edges and bring together in the center and press the ends well and seal it.
Flatten the ball carefully into a big circle.
Remove any filling that oozes out while rolling the dough.
Heat a griddle. Cook the parathas on both sides with ghee or oil to golden brown.
Serve with raitha/yogurt/pickle.

This past week on the Melissa & Doug blog, we shared a few fun activities to get your kids excited about the New Year. Now that 2013 is finally here, it's time to turn those resolutions into plans! Here are 3 easy ways to get your kids organized for (and excited about!) the year ahead.
1) Create a Calendar
Using our Magnetic Calendar, or any monthly calendar (purchased or home-made), take your child's list of New Year's Resolutions and start to plan for when certain goals could be accomplished. For example, if your child has made a resolution to spend more time playing outside, choose one day every week and mark that as "outside play day". This is also a wonderful time to practice a few "calendar" basics, such as:
- Learning to spell the days of the week and months
- Understanding the order of days in a week, and months in a year, and
- Grasping the concept of a day, week, month, and year as a whole (i.e. "how many 'play days' do we have in a month?" or "what play activities are great for the month of August versus January?")
2) Connect Longer-Term Goals with Weekly Chores
A responsibility chart can be a wonderful way to encourage positive behavior year-round. By creating a chore chart that's directly tied to a child's resolutions, you will have a weekly reminder of what you and your child have chosen to focus on for the year. A generic "help keep the house tidy" resolution can easily translate into actionable tasks throughout the week, such as helping with dishes, or cleaning up toys. At the end of the week, or month, you can have a discussion with your child about how the goals are being achieved, and if any alterations to the chore chart need to be made.
3) Switch Things Up!
A great way to stick to resolutions or goals is to keep things interesting! Doing the "same old" week after week may become boring, so here are some suggestions on helping kids stay focused, and engaged, year-round:
- Identify dates with your child to discuss "progress" – choose the middle of a week, month, or even year and ask the child how well he or she is performing against their goals, and what might need to improved on going forward
- Choose some "milestones" and offer a reward or treat for reaching them, and
- Be flexible! If a child is tracking well against their goals, or if a little extra time is needed, discuss potential changes that may need to be made, and why.
