This product is a really good deal for one's money. And the casing is not only attractive, but convenient since it does not occupy in width alot of space to store on a shelf. It is a wonderful present to give to a lady who is a fan of this show.
i got this as a gift for myself and i LOVE IT!!!! my friends enjoy it as well. its at a good price....if you buy it else where is about $300 so......and it comes in a plastic box so it looks nice too....its a great gift for the SATC fans
What Can I say. Gorgeous packaging and all of my favorite episodes in one hot pink super chic suede case. It's fabulous. All of the episodes are catalogued with beautiful descriptions of each. It's a great way to keep them all organized and in one place as I had six seasons strewn all over the place in packages that were breaking. Looks great on a bookshelf or coffee table. I say it's a must for any gals library!
I love this product and it was exactly what I wanted.
As boyfriends and husbands everywhere have learned through the centuries, sometimes in order to keep the peace we must open the estrogenial floodgates. Purchasing this box set is tantamount to signing a contract in blood that I will participate in viewing a Sex and the City marathon at some point with my girlfriend (most likely immediately after she opens the gift). It's not that guys can't enjoy Sex and the City. If every brain contains a little man brain and a little woman brain then watching Sex and the City is like the little woman brain kicking the man brain in the nuts and crowding him off the couch to eat a half gallon of rocky road. So guys, indulge your latent female brain, but be prepared to get a lot of commentary from your partner such as "you do that to me all the time" and "See? This is why girls hate that" comments. I will be forming a support group for any guys going through the same struggles.
It took almost three whole weeks to get here, but I was very satisfied with my product.
I ordered this for myself because I wanted to finally watch all the episodes of this show, and it first started when I was very young, and it's great! This was the cheapest price I had found online, the dvd set looks great and I am definitely happy with my purchase!

Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton stood at the forefront of a new breed of metal (and Jackson) artists in the mid-2000s, with an aggressive style that combined dazzling speed, sharply precise riffing, searing intensity and distinctive tight chording. When he collaborated with Jackson on a signature model, he wanted a special instrument design that bore his own special design stamp.
Morton chose a body style that was in essence a slightly modified version of the Swee-Tone™ Jazz'r™, a non-pointy and hence decidedly atypical Jackson model from the late 1990s. Morton's design rendered the Jazz'r's shallow double cutaways, rounded horns and slightly offset waist in a new chambered-mahogany model with an elegant flame maple top. Further loaded with a wealth of high-performance neck, pickups, electronics and hardware features, Morton's signature model was dubbed the Dominion and released to great acclaim in 2006.

A custom solution for central vacuum systems including tools that are perfectly matched to their task and to each other, the CV78PRO is a best of breed kit that offers the ultimate performance.
*Optional 17" width Powerbrush Available. The CVA78PRO attachment set can be supersized to include the 450 Electronic powerbrush from Lindhaus. Built using the same components as the PB14PRO, the PB17PRO has a larger 17" cleaning path (18" total outside width) to clean even more area in a single pass. Great for cleaning larger open areas but much less suitable for cleaning in the average home where the extra width is often too large to easily maneuver. We recommend you consider the application carefully before choosing the larger powerbrush.

A self proclaimed "sports nut", Brian is Lewis University's Associate Director of Athletics for External Affairs for the Department of Athletics. He oversees the development of marketing strategies aimed at increasing attendance, ticket sales and corporate partnerships. He also is responsible for assisting with the day to day operations of the athletic department. Brian serves as the Chairperson for the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), and is an active participant in SAAC's annual Make-a-Wish Foundation fundraiser and food and clothing drives.
Brian has been around sports his entire life and played both baseball and golf in college. He believes that we have a fantastic athletics program here at Lewis and appreciates that he can be a part of it.
Brian came to Lewis in September 2001 as the Assistant Sports Information Director, a media relations position that afforded him the opportunity to use his background as an English/Journalism major. He took advantage of the University's tuition remission program and earned his MBA in 2005. That same year he was promoted to his current position.
Brian likes the private school setting at Lewis. Having gone to a small liberal arts college, he values the intimacy that Lewis provides. He believes this "allows you to meet people from different realms of the University with whom you can develop a sense of camaraderie and share experiences."
Insurance benefits and proximity to home are what first drew him to the
University, but the fun and friendly environment are what keep him here.
Most college students throw their caps in the air and proclaim their newfound freedom on graduation day. Pam shared in this thrill with her graduating class, but she also came to make the University her home after graduation.
Pam began her career at Lewis as a student worker in the Office of Admission while earning a bachelor's degree in accounting. After graduation, she was hired as a clerk in the Office of Financial Aid Services. During this time she also took advantage of the University's tuition program and completed her MBA.
During her fourteen years at Lewis, Pam has progressed through various positions within the Office of Financial Aid Services, including Counselor, Coordinator, Assistant Director, and Associate Director. She recently was promoted to Bursar in the Business Office, where she oversee the management of student billing, accounts receivables and collections.
She believes that being a Lewis alumna makes her more valuable to the University. She can relate to the students and offer firsthand knowledge to them and their families of what their college career and experiences will be like.
Pam loves what she calls the "seasonality of her job…the different and defined cycles of the academic year and the natural progression of students". She feels it is very rewarding to watch a student go from the infancy stage of their college career to the point when they achieve their goals and dreams.
Pam believes that the greatest benefit of working at Lewis is the feeling
of community and being part of something bigger than yourself or your department.
She also appreciates the fact that Lewis employees put students first. "We
explain why we do what we do and walk the students through the process," she
says. "We recognize every moment as an opportunity to teach."
"I know you -- you belong at Lewis." These were the words Cathy
heard in 1992 from a former chairperson who learned of an open faculty position
in Lewis University's Communications department.
Cathy credits this person with starting her on the road to a very fulfilling
career. Cathy, who has been teaching at the college level since 1973, is
a Professor in the Department of Communications. A native of Alabama, she
came to Illinois in the mid 1980's to complete her doctorate at Northwestern
University. Some of the classes Cathy has taught include Small Group Communications,
Managing Conflict, Organizational Communication and Persuasion Theories and
In addition to her teaching responsibilities Cathy also has assumed many
key leadership roles in the University's improvement processes. In
1994 she was the Plan Coordinator for the University's first Strategic
Plan. She also managed the administration of a $1.7 million Title III Grant
from the U.S. Department of Education. Many of Lewis' current enhancements
in technology, faculty development and co-curricular learning are a product
of the grant. Most recently she has become the Coordinator for the Academic
Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), the University's reaccreditation
process with the Higher Learning Commission. She believes that these administrative
responsibilities have made her a much better educator. She appreciates that
Lewis has recognized her abilities and given her the opportunity to use them
in service to the University. "In each position I have experienced
new learning myself. It has kept me alive, invigorated and fresh in the classroom.
I have been able to use what I've learned to connect with the students
and show them how certain skills can be used in the real world."
Cathy is thankful that her former chairperson recognized the similarities
between her and the University. "My whole value system and the way I
teach are a good fit with Lewis. I believe the Lasallian Mission with all my
heart", she says. "It is a nice feeling to go to sleep at night
and feel satisfied that I have made a difference."
Dr. Erin Zimmer has been teaching full-time at Lewis University since the fall of 2004. Erin had previously taught as an adjunct instructor at Concordia University and was a technical specialist at a biotechnology company. An Assistant Professor of Biology, her specialty is genetics. She also teaches molecular and cellular biology, and recently developed a course called the Biology of Cancer.
Erin was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of the student population here at Lewis. This diversity and the different perspectives that students bring to the learning environment have been exciting. She has learned so much from them. In addition to the academic rewards, Erin has also discovered another reason why there is such longevity among University employees.
When Erin started at Lewis she had no idea what to expect, but she quickly learned what others already knew so well. "Lewis has much to offer, but one of the things I found most appealing was the welcoming environment. There is a great deal of effort on the part of faculty and staff to make you feel connected," she says. "A lot of organizations can't say that. It's different here. People are very devoted and involved in all facets of the community. There is so much value placed on interaction and the development of relationships…from social events, to community gatherings to discussion groups. The opportunities are endless."
Erin also was very impressed by the fact that the person she replaced, after 27 years at the University, still comes back frequently to visit. "It made me realize what a great decision I had made."
When we hear the word university, academia and the pursuit of higher learning typically come to mind. What happens outside the classroom however, is equally important to the development of the complete student. Joe Falese, Lewis University's Vice President for Student Services, and the entire Student Services Division, is responsible for the University's "outside the classroom environment". He and his staff provide quality services and support systems that allow and encourage students to make the most of their college experience. "We want them to thrive academically, personally, spiritually and socially," Joe says.
A Lewis alumnus, Joe's student experience is a good example of how Lewis
provides more than just a degree. He was a member of Lewis' baseball
team, participated in many co-curricular activities, and also worked as a Resident
Assistant and Dorm Director. While continuing in the master's program
at Lewis, Joe accepted a position as the Dorm Director and Director of Student
Activities at the then-College of St. Francis. He returned to Lewis the following
year to become the University's full-time Director of Student Life and
Housing. In 1985, he was named Dean of Students, and in 1989 was promoted to
his current position as Vice-President for Student Services.
Joe believes Lewis has much to offer prospective employees. In his position
he says that "he has been fortunate to be able to work with terrific
students and watch them grow and develop". All have provided him with
gratifying and energizing work experiences. He also has been fortunate to
work with excellent colleagues who are committed to a student-centered educational
On a larger scale, the University's emphasis on Mission and the spirit
of association make it a great place to work. "Our Mission is not based
on lip service," he says. "It is not something in a frame that
you hang on a wall. It is lived. We are a growing institution of high quality
that is well on its way to becoming one of the best mid-sized Catholic universities
in the Midwest."
Joyce Hayward, Associate Professor in the Reading and Literacy Program in the College of Education, is no stranger to the field. She began teaching in the public school system in 1973. Her long and successful career spanned 3 decades, and included positions as Teacher, Reading Specialist, Assistant Principal and Curriculum Coordinator of Special Education. So what brought her to Lewis?
Joyce has had some affiliation with the University since 1976, the year her husband jointed the staff. In 1983 she, herself, came to Lewis as a student. That year she began graduate work in the Reading and Literacy program. After the completion of her degree, she continued in the public school system, but also taught as an adjunct instructor at the University, teaching in the Bridge program and Study Skills, and later in the College's graduate program. In the fall of 2000, while working on her doctorate she accepted a part-time position as the Interim Program Chair for Reading and Literacy. In the fall of the following year she was offered, and accepted the full-time position. Since then she has seen many changes, including the School of Education's recognition as a College. Additionally, undergraduate and graduate programs have evolved to meet the changing needs of students.
Joyce believes one of the greatest benefits Lewis offers is its flexibility. "There
are high expectations for each faculty member" she says. "You are
expected to provide outstanding and current instruction for your students.
You are encouraged to interact with them and offer guidance…there is
a very strong commitment to personalized service. This is reflected everyday
in the examples set by our own President. At the same time however, Lewis respects
there are many ways people can use their gifts. It may be that you are involved
in different committees on campus, or you may be helping in the community,
or you can be working on research. There are a variety of ways you can demonstrate
and exercise your personal and professional growth. Lewis shows its appreciation
for the individual by allowing him or her, the opportunity to develop in this
way. The flexibility is truly there."
For the past 13 years Joan has been a familiar face in the College of Education. Currently the Director of Advising and Certification Officer, she is the individual charged with helping students make important decisions about their college careers. Joan loves getting to know the students on a one-to-one basis and providing them with the guidance they need to make appropriate choices.
At Lewis since 1993, Joan started as a temporary employee in the College of Business. After a short time in University Advancement, she found her home in the College of Education. Joan's position within the College slowly evolved, and as the College grew, so did her responsibilities.
"Everyone has been wonderful to work with," she says. "The people I have met, the collegial atmosphere and the diversity of backgrounds create an environment which is professionally stimulating." Joan also speaks highly of Lewis' Tuition Exchange program, which allows employees and their immediate family members to receive free or discounted tuition. Both of her daughters took advantage of this wonderful benefit, and in 2001, Joan completed a master's degree in school counseling & guidance.
Lewis has provided Joan with opportunities for growth in other areas as well. She took part in a Lasallian Mission Formation program. "It affirmed for me that what I do for the University is what John Baptist de La Salle and the Christian Brothers were striving for. It made the Mission come alive." Additionally, she has been on several University task force committees, has been an ICE (Introduction to College Experience) Mentor, and has had the opportunity to travel to Ukraine as a participant of Partners in Education. Being an employee of Lewis means more to Joan than just having a job to do; it also means being part of a larger, more rewarding and meaningful experience.
Upon first glance you would assume Melissa's office belongs to someone in Marketing or Promotions. She has Lewis University memorabilia everywhere, from the pictures on the wall, to the books and stuffed animals on the shelves, to the trinkets on her desk. It is the office however, of someone who is simply very proud to work here. As Melissa states, "I think I am the biggest LU fan…and it is important to demonstrate school spirit all year long! "
Melissa began her career at the university in 1997, but her history dates back to the time she spent here as an undergraduate student. After graduating in 1988 she worked in her family business for several years and then became a Substitute Teacher. She loved working in the educational field, but wanted something with more stability. Lewis gave her the opportunity she had been looking for. She characterizes it as "the best move I ever made". Melissa started as a secretary in the Accelerated Program. She has been Data Processing Assistant, Coordinator of the Helpdesk and the Media Coordinator under a Title III grant. She is currently the Assistant Director of Teaching, Learning, and Technology Services. She is responsible for Blackboard and for helping faculty incorporate technology into the classroom. "I love working with people and with technology. This position gives me the opportunity to do both. The best part of the job is the "aha" moments; the point when faculty realize how important technology is and they learn to apply it in the classroom", she says.
Melissa, a graduate of the first cohort offered at Lewis in the Masters in Organizational Leadership program, was a beneficiary of the tuition assistance benefit. According to Melissa, it is a great benefit and one that fits in with her commitment to lifelong learning. Although she is appreciative of this type of benefit, she still believes that one of the most wonderful things about the university is the people. "Not many folks are fortunate enough to say they can get up in the morning and truly enjoy going to work. I can. No matter what is happening in my life, business or personal, I know that I am not alone."
Quite often, college can create an overwhelming feeling of apprehension for students entering the grounds for the first time. Employees such as Barbara Lewis help to calm the fears of these students and set them on the track to success. Barbara, a 21 year veteran of Lewis University, is the Secretary to the Chair in the Justice, Law and Public Safety Studies program.
Barbara came to the University in 1986. A friend of Barbara's saw a position was open in Project Upward Bound, a program funded by the Department of Education, which prepped high school students for college. This person knew Barbara would be a great asset to the program because of her commitment to helping others. Barbara got the job and stayed with the program until it was cancelled in 1995. That year, she accepted the secretarial position in Justice, Law and Public Safety Studies.
In Barbara's current position she is responsible for maintaining contact, support, and a cooperative environment between the program, and the students, parents, faculty and outside agencies. Barbara takes pride in the job she does. She believes it is important to know her job as well as the jobs of others, both inside and outside of the department. Knowing what to do, or where to go to get answers makes her more valuable to her co-workers and to the students and staff she supports.
According to Barbara, one of the greatest benefits to working at the University is the people. "Lewis has a variety of really good people. It makes my job a lot easier when I have people I can talk to and rely on." She has taken advantage of the University's tuition assistance benefit, and is currently enrolled in the Criminal Justice program. Barbara also loves the beautiful campus and the great work environment.
Barbara enjoys her job and working with the students. She states that "the
greatest challenge is being able to coordinate and serve everybody that comes
for assistance". This also provides her with the greatest rewards.
"It's a place where people want to come to work; you work a majority of your life and you have to enjoy what you're doing, and I feel like that's what I'm doing here." After graduating from Lewis with a Bachelor's degree in math and psychology, Erica had always hoped to come back and teach here one day. A former preschool teacher, Erica has taught students of all ages but prefers teaching at the college level.
As an Assistant Professor of Elementary Education, she enjoys giving her students ideas, methods, and strategies that they can incorporate into their own classrooms. Erica states, "I feel like at the college level, I have more of a chance to have an impact on what education looks like at the elementary school level because I'm teaching future teachers."
Erica taught at Joliet Junior College for many years, but had her sight set on teaching at Lewis. She was drawn to the family-like culture and small class sizes because it provided her the opportunity to get to know her students at a personal level. She mentions, "I feel like here, it's not about quantity, it's about quality; it's more about the quality of the education and the quality of the courses and the teaching."
She was pleasantly surprised that people at Lewis University treat each other with a Lasallian approach and are always willing to offer assistance. She feels a strong connection to the Lewis community and enjoys working as a team with her department. Erica explains, "You just feel like the people here are part of your extended family."
Erica looks forward to the annual Faculty Recognition dinner, which showcases the research, publications, and other accomplishments that faculty members have achieved throughout the year. She feels that it is "so remarkable that Lewis has such a respect for its faculty."
One of her favorite parts about working at Lewis is seeing her old professors around campus. She loves seeing that her former professors still work at Lewis and she enjoys interacting with them as her colleagues now. "That means that Lewis is a good place to be and people want to stay here...that speaks volumes to me," Erica says.
"They really make you feel part of the community from the day you arrive…." These are the words of Michelle Ronchetti, expressing her appreciation for the friendly, welcoming, and collaborative environment that Lewis provides for all employees.
A graduate of Lewis University, Michelle has had quite a journey back to this institution. She graduated with her Bachelor's degree in nursing in 1989 and has worked in a number of healthcare settings afterwards. She worked as a maternal child nurse for 12 years at Silver Cross Hospital and then as a risk manager at a community health center, but Michelle wanted more patient contact. When a job opportunity for Director of Health Services became available at Lewis, Michelle was excited to apply.
As the Director of Health Services, Michelle feels she has the "best of both worlds" because she is able to have an administrative role and assist student patients. As a nurse, she enjoys the patient contact with students and having the opportunity to teach them about various illnesses and medications. Her primary responsibility is to ensure that students are both mentally and physically well, which she believes is very rewarding.
Michelle is grateful for the work-life balance and flexibility that Lewis has to offer. Even though Michelle attended Lewis for her education, she feels more connected to the university as an employee. Her favorite part about working at Lewis is the spirit of collaboration and how there is always someone available on campus to help you. She also appreciates how decision-making at Lewis is based on input from all walks of university life including faculty, staff, and students.
Unlike other places Michelle has worked, she is proud to see that Lewis puts their mission into action. Michelle believes, "Lewis is a place where the mission is alive, and it's visible around you every day."
"They're going to have to kick me out of here one of these days." A former fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, Dr. Chuck Crowder has been working at Lewis for several years and is currently an Associate Professor of Physics. Chuck truly enjoys the time he spends at Lewis both inside and outside of the classroom.
Throughout his life, Chuck has had many accomplishments. One of his most notable was starting a laser company within AMOCO and running the business until it was sold. However, Chuck explains that his previous job came with a lot of stress and he felt he was aging dramatically. Even though he built a successful company, he was unsatisfied from a personal perspective. At Lewis, Chuck finds teaching extremely gratifying and he enjoys interrelating with college students. Chuck says he feels invigorated by Lewis because "the ability to interface with these very enthusiastic students that we have really keeps you young; maybe not young physically, but mentally young."
Since both of his parents were teachers, Chuck also aspired to be a teacher. He explains, "Teaching is something I had wanted to do for a longtime, so it's the fulfillment of a lifetime ambition." Chuck is delighted to work at an institution where the faculty is motivated and he is impressed with the level of commitment and talent. The personal interaction between professors and students is a feature of Lewis University that Chuck is very passionate about: "It's not just an education, but a personally guided education." Chuck strives to build a strong interface with his students, and he hopes to be remembered by them 20 years from now.
Chuck is ecstatic to be working in the new Science Center, which he believes is a fantastic facility. He often conducts experiments with his students and colleagues.
Most importantly, Chuck admires the Christian Brother's mission and their willingness to educate people who are less advantaged than many. Chuck says, "This is a place that really touches your heart, and you can have a great long-term career here and a very rewarding one."
As the Director of Counseling Services, Michele provides clinical and administrative leadership, one-on-one mental health counseling, psycho-educational group counseling, and consultation to faculty and staff members regarding students of concern.
After graduating from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, she worked in the community mental health industry for a number of years. Michele has worked with a variety of age groups ranging from 5 - 80 years old. However, she has always been attracted to work with the demographic of college students.
As a counselor in a university setting, Michele enjoys working side by side with students to accomplish goals and getting the unique opportunity to live in their world. Her favorite part about working at Lewis is watching the students grow throughout their college careers, which she feels is very satisfying. "University life is unique for me coming from community mental health...you get to see students grow from different perspectives, not just emotionally, but spiritually, intellectually and socially," Michele says.
Michele is grateful for the nurturing and welcoming environment that Lewis has to offer. She likes being able to supervise staff and counsel students.
While there were many benefits that attracted her to Lewis, she believes the mission strongly embodies her personal beliefs and professional ethics. Michele feels she has the freedom and time for professional development that is valued at Lewis and expresses these thoughts when stating, "By far in a way, the most supportive environment for professional as well as personal growth that I've ever worked in...in my 23 years as a working professional."

Please don't stop the blog! I know there's only a few days, but I always felt it was a little too short for anything.
Features... hmmm... how about the TV-out feature? I noticed the tab was removed in later drivers in the control panel. What happened to that feature?
I think ATi is a competent group, they are just focused on different things. Stability and performance of the FGLRX is not something ATi is concerned about, so I'm making sure I stay away from those cards.

A few 2D benchmarks would've been nice, to see how much the Catalyst driver sucks for desktop workload.
Its really sad 2D is ignored in Catalyst for years now, the mode where most users tend to spend their time.
Phoronix: Ubuntu 12.10: Open-Source Radeon vs. AMD Catalyst Performance
With Ubuntu trying to improve their OpenGL driver support state to push the Linux OS as a platform for gaming, Valve going to be promoting the closed-source NVIDIA and AMD drivers on Linux, and various other challenges still turning up for those trying to use the different Linux OpenGL drivers, here are some new benchmarks comparing the open-source Radeon Gallium3D driver against the closed-source AMD Catalyst driver.
A few 2D benchmarks would've been nice, to see how much the Catalyst driver sucks for desktop workload.
Its really sad 2D is ignored in Catalyst for years now, the mode where most users tend to spend their time.
Well, they did implement "A2AA" (AMD 2D Acceleration Architecture), previously known as Direct2D for Catalyst. That was supposed to improve 2D performance across the board. It kind of did, but 2D still stinks like rotten cheese on all the proprietary drivers.
What really galls me about the open source AMD drivers is how much they've stalled on providing proper 3D support for Southern Islands. I thought it was here many months ago, but I was wrong.... it was just a "first cut". AMD doesn't seem to know how to really finish off the support on their open drivers -- they get it to the point where it can render a few triangles, and move on to the next chipset. And I guess the rest of the "community" built up around the open drivers hasn't invested the time this cycle to get SI running.
Months ago, I was keeping track of the number of days we went before we could get a true and proper composited 3D desktop experience with working (mostly bug-free and performant) 2D and 3D drivers and OpenGL 2.1. I recall that the first mega-patch for SI hit well in advance of how long it took for Evergreen. Well, now it looks like SI will take longer than Evergreen. Definitely not a good sign, guys.
Anyway, I don't care anymore. I sold my Radeon on eBay and am exclusively using Intel's excellent Ivy Bridge drivers for typical desktop computing with various compositors (Unity, Mutter, Muffin, Kwin). Works like a charm with 2D apps and light OpenGL. I'm using Bumblebee with an Optimus GPU for workloads where I need more oomph. So let's sum up: my typical 2D and composited desktop workloads are silken smooth and run on my processor's tiny graphics cores. My heavy lifting OpenGL 4.2 / OpenCL / CUDA is done by a 96-core NVS 5400M with the Nvidia proprietary driver. I get the benefit of both the Intel open source 2D and the Nvidia proprietary 3D without the disadvantages of either, and seamless power management. I think Torvalds was giving the finger to the wrong company.
Instead of bashing the open-source radeon driver developers, why not bash Catalyst for having phased out support for your Radeon 3400?
Because AMD has a heap of fulltime developers working on their OpenGL stack (shared between Linux/OSX/Windows), whereas Radeon is mostly developed by spare time hobbyWhy the fuck is it so slow? Are really the amd programmers 3 times better than the open source ones? It's an insult. It's three times faster !! What the hell is this? What are they doing to make them so slow? How can they be so incompetent?
There are 4-5 people working (payed by AMD) on HW support, LLVM and a few more things here and there. Then there are people like marek (one man army of code) and vadim(???) that are just hobbyists. Plus a few more.
They need more people in mesa to get the drivers to perform better.
Does anybody know what the fundamental reason for the speed difference is? The proprietary driver is at least 3X faster on all tests - that is not something that you can achieve only with incremental code tweaking.
There must be something fundamental that causes the difference. Clock programming, memory setup, etc?
I guess the open driver on Ubuntu has neither PCIe 2.0 turned on nor 2D tiling.
I'm not sure what's needed to get PCIe 2.0. Maybe kernel 3.6? For 2D tiling, you need xf86-video-ati from git, so the benchmark results aren't so surprising.
That said, I've got no idea how much the results would be different with everything from git.
Last edited by marek; 10-30-2012 at 06:55 PM.
Maybe it has to do with non optimized compiling for the driver and non optimized shader compiler(I think such things have been mentioned before), among other things.
I can't tell you that I know, but the difference is usually very large when it gets into hundreds of FPS. Even very small inefficiencies add up (100 times), so OSS drivers look very bad.
With realistic framerates, the difference is not that extreme. With older hardware (using r300g driver), some apps already have parity with Catalyst, some are even faster, and with r600g results were approaching 60-70 percent. Very much dependent on the workload, though.
I think that the general consensus is that once the remaining stuff is fixed (HyperZ, 2d tiling, texture tiling, etc, most of this is ready but not on by default), lots of very small tweaks in many places are needed to get more performance out.
For what it's worth, my HD4550 routinely outperforms much faster cards from Michael's tests, so the best way to check is to try it yourself.
Sure a hd 4550, i have got such a card as well it was never faster than a hd 5670 and he tests a hd 5770.

When a goal is scored on any FIFA game, whereby one of two or more attacking players are through on goal and where one would usually take the shot at goal, he instead deliberately presses the 'x' button, thereby passing it across the goal, taking the keeper out of play and creating an extremely easy scoring opportunity for the other forward. This has come to be known as the JEW goal as it is common amongst Zionists. No Jews were harmed in the making of this article.
Oh my God, did you see the Fifa JEW goal that luncaster just scored?

Drivers and user programs are important for users!!
*cough* stable api's, you too Linux *cough*
Phoronix: Reasons Why You Should Not Use FreBSD
After a few days ago sharing a list of why you should use FreeBSD as said by FreeBSD developers and community members who use the BSD operating system, here's a list of reasons for why not to use FreeBSD or missing functionality...
See developers!
Drivers and user programs are important for users!!
*cough* stable api's, you too Linux *cough*
Ha-ha-ha - last point, is valid for almost any other Desktop OS, unless you are forced to use it by your applications work set.
I wonder if OSX has all those features that FreeBSD has AFAIK OSX is even more limited than FreeBSD
Examples: ext4 only with FUSE...
ZFS support will cost you 20$ or 40$ for full featured support
Most of the mentioned (and too early reported herein!) issues with FreeBSD are neglegible. ISDN/SIP is important for many people. A GLUSTER (Linux terminology) filesystem is also important, but only for a very specific group of users - in most common areas clustered and distributed files are not yet common as this lack of feature may imply. But if we come closer to HPC (and this is a very important whether a OS is applicable or not), then FreeBSD is definitely NOT the first and even not the third choice! Missing fast compiler (no Intel compiler, no NAG compilers, no PGI compilers, no PathScale compilers) support, a complete lack of GPGPU support which is very tight bound to the lack of drivers for graphics cards. Also, highly optimized and fast mathematical libraries are missing. NAG droped FreeBSD support when FreeBSD moved to 64bit. I think it was no coincidence that the change from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 on Linux made the gap between FreeBSD and linux smaller in terms of the reliability and speed of the network stack.
Politics is a very important aspect. There was no serious reason why people should have used Linux or even Windows when both of those OSes where instable and forced people to be more engineer than user. I'm now for approximately 20 years with BSD systems, since 1996 with FreeBSD. Although the BSD/MIT like licensing model is very developer friendly, people tend to prefere Linux with its sight-blocked GPLv3 licensing. I can not understand that many departments especially at German universities rely on Linux and not on a more academic OS like the *BSD. I reject the possibility that people are getting more and more stupid these days, so the conclusion might be that it is all about politics.
It has been mentioned in the list of PROs that FreeBSD has a very nice port system. Yes, it has. But the way it is maintained is a bit dangerous for those who rely on ports. UPDATING is very often updated AFTER critical port updates rushed into the tree and its then too late to back off. Such a situation occured just now with the new PNG library version 1.15: large ports like OpenOffice and LibreOffice are affected by this and on all of our remaining FreeBSD systems with LibreOffice installed LibreOffice isn't working anymore, rejecting compilation due to an error (I NEVER managed to compile OpenOffice or LibreOffice on a maintained, running and working system and most of the complains in the list where commented by people which installed OpenOffice/LibreOffice in a virtual machine or on freshly installed boxes and so they "compensated" complains about this lack of maintenance - this can be very frustrating and even negates the very good help of those who are willing to help).
We also run into harshg problems with Linux when it comes to maintainance - but I have the feeling, that on Linux, Ubuntu and Fedora especially, the availability of ports is better and somehow they manage it better to deal with different library versions.
As much I would prefere FreeBSD, there is a no-go when it comes to work and science. We rely on OpenCL these days in many projects, since our TESLA systems and even the ordinary GPUs in the desktop boxes deliver a tremendous performance boost I never achieved before with multiprocessor systems. We can use those platforms for nearly every "business" of n-body simulations, fluidal simulations and for our PR stuff we prepare with Blender, which is now capable of handling a present GPU via CUDA or OpenCL. GEGL library is about to move also towards OpenCL and speed up GIMP - a tool, many UNIX users won't miss and I bet many professionals are appreciating a speedup as seen in Adobe's Creative Suites utilizing a present GPU. Linux can do - the *BSD, especially FreeBSD, can not. And FreeBSD is even more loosing ground in science and other high performance areas and there is no political "will" to order the helm to apply an alternative route.
Who ever have seen the tremendous performance AMDs new Graphics Core Next architecture is providing using double precision calculations in OpenCL, or even with the more moderate recent TESLA, will never use anything else than a platform which is capable of using GPGPU.
PathScale was once offering/promising something that could make life easier on FreeBSD, called HMPP, but I never saw a product or anything useful coming out - since two years now. What happened? No market?
One can not harvest if he doesn't seed and plant.
I specially register to reply this thread. In my views, it's even easier to set up OS X on (illegal) Hackintoshes (i.e. non-Apple PCs) than F*BSD.
OS X has a beautiful and elegant installer interface while ONLY ASCIIS are on BSDs.
Here's the best reason why not to use FreeBSD: It's not Linux.
If this would be the best reason why not to use FreeBSD, I would use it.

It's fragmented, uses crappy license, its file system sucks, it's slow, it's old, legacy, lacking man power and automation, it's MS and Apple friendly, people from foolBSD forums are trolls etc. and Linux is stable, reliable, fast, has greatest community and license etc. If people have adblock turned on then such stupid articles won't bring you too much profit.

text: "SHOULD I STAY IN POLITICS?" by Brooks Hays It was a hot afternoon in late July, 1928, and I had paused to wipe the sweat from my face during a political speech at Big Flat, Arkansas, in the heart of the Ozarks, when a listener suddenly spoke up, "That talk about taxation is all right, I reckon, but what we 'uns here want to know is, 'How do you stand on this here evolution bill?'" I was telling the voters of that village why I should be elected governor of Arkansas. It was my first race for a public office and I was thirty years old. Running for governor is exciting. For weeks before the speaking engagements there were interesting conferences on strategy and the preliminary campaigning (shaking hands with everyone in the towns and hailing the farmers in the fields) - a lot of fun if you enjoy that sort of thing, and I do. The campaign was hard. I made five to nine full length speeches a day with no loud speaker and chalked up a record of 303 speeches for the season. We take our politics seriously in Arkansas. In Boone County one youngster said, "Mr. Hays, you gotta win. I've named my calf for you and he's in the calf show in a week after the election. If you loose I'm afraid he'll lose, too." Poor boy! He didn't know how often I was destined to lose. I spoke in school houses, in brush arbors, in blacksmith shops and in the open. I slept sitting upright in the car between appointments. I ate sandwiches between speeches and once I changed clothes in the back of the car while being driven from one town to the next. While speaking in a brush arbor in south Arkansas one day I suddenly found my

Arroyo, LeBlanc meet with series tied in Cincinnati
When Bronson Arroyo took the mound on April 15, the Reds were riding a five-game losing streak and the club's usually dependable starting rotation was scuffling.
That all seemed to changed, however, after Arroyo tossed eight solid innings against the Phillies, allowing just two runs as Cincinnati got back in the win column with a 4-2 victory.
Since then, the Reds have won three of four games with their starters leading the way, surrendering a combined two runs over the four outings following Arroyo's start.
Reds manager Busty Baker credited Arroyo for getting the staff back on track.
"He's the one who started this streak here," Baker said. "Nobody likes to be outdone. You get on a roll and that's what happens. It just shows you how important starting pitching is. It takes pressure off of your bullpen and everybody stays strong. It starts with starting pitching. The better they're pitching, the better everybody feels."
Arroyo will look to continue the trend he started when he toes the rubber again Saturday as the Reds try to take the series lead against the Marlins.
Arroyo has faced Miami 13 times in his career and is 1-4 with a 4.28 ERA. These Marlins, though, are much different from the Marlins the right-hander has seen before. Arroyo will try to be flexible on the mound Saturday as he tries to get a feel for the new-look Miami squad.
"It's taking the scouting report and trying to manipulate it into your game without having played against these guys in the past," he said. "You have awareness ... to be out [on] the field to make adjustments on the fly. That's how I always have pitched."
Opposing Arroyo for the Marlins will be Wade LeBlanc, who struggled his last time out against the Nationals, allowing seven earned runs over 3 2/3 innings.
Washington pounced on the left-hander for four runs on five hits in the first inning.
"We're only three starts in, but something has got to change," LeBlanc said after the game. "We've got to figure out how to get through that first inning unscathed, and give these guys a chance. That's priority No. 1 at this point."
Reds: Hanigan still ailing from injured thumb
Ryan Hanigan's right thumb is still hurting more than a week after it was injured on a foul tip. The catcher, who was wearing a wrap on his hand Friday, is doing all he can to not let it affect his play.
"I'm just going to keep going through it," Hanigan said. "I can manage it enough in games to get through. I'm trying to produce for these guys.
"It's going to linger. I've taken my medicine and have done everything I can for it. But when it gets in that joint like that, it's going to be painful."
The Reds, who had Hanigan go in for an MRI exam, aren't considering placing him on the disabled list yet, according to manager Dusty Baker. The catcher has struggled at the plate so far this year, batting just .079 in 12 games, including a 0-for-3 performance Friday.
"It's the lack of strength that can be an issue, but I can put it out of my mind during games enough to not let it affect me too much," Hanigan said. "Like anything with your hands, it's a pain ... . I'll keep doing my treatment and hopefully I will wake up one of these days and I will have the strength back that I need."
Marlins: Maine designated for assignment, Koehler promoted
John Maine, a non-roster invitee who opened the season with the Marlins, was designated for assignment on Friday.
In four relief appearances, the 31-year-old posted a 12.27 ERA in 7 1/3 innings.
In his place, Tom Koehler was called up from Triple-A New Orleans to fill the long relief, emergency starter role.
Koehler made three starts for New Orleans, and in 17 innings he had a 1.06 ERA with 14 strikeouts and 10 walks.
The 26-year-old made his big league debut with Miami last September. He appeared in eight games with one start, and struck out 13 in 13 1/3 innings.
Worth noting
• Miami has scored just 35 runs this season, the lowest output of any club.
• The Reds are 8-3 at Great American Ball Park.

I am searching for the best counter top oven for an year, not because the market is not offering a lot, just because I want to find the maximum in power, combine with the lower price and great quality in one single oven. I was surprised when I read over the month ago for the Black and Decker Infra wave oven. This item is not just a toaster oven it is healthy and powerful,really good size oven. I am qualifying with the size because most of the ovens on the market are really good looking on the picture , but if you went to check how big are they in real, you will get surprised. For a busy mother that looking to finish breakfast in minutes that is important. I am impressed from the service of Overstock to. I am happy that I find the product here, because the loyalty of the customer service is great.
very pleased with my purchase! was surprised that it was larger than the original. very clean design and like how BIG it is!! taller but not wider. so it doesnt take up alot of counter space. i cook almost everything in this oven. from toast, bagels and toaster strudel, to meat loaf, chicken tenders, bbq ribs, cakes to muffins and biscuits! brownies too!! i totally recommend this oven to everyone!!
There is no pre-heating. the settings are easy toread and the time on the dial is right on.The top of the oven can be used as a warming tray--just be carefuyl to use a HOT PAD when taking the dish off.
we haven't had a chance to use it alot, but of what we have cooked in it we really like it. we are thinking about getting another one for our rv. it looks good and cooks fast and we like that you can cook foods that are frozen, no need to remember to defrost. easy to read controls, and easy to figure out how to cook with. Thank you O
I love this item and since having one I very seldom use my stove oven. Cooking, baking are so easy to do. I have purchases three for gifts for my family members and they all love it. People should buy now while it is available because my research tell me they are no longer being made -- that seems to always happen, find a great product and they stop making it!!! I have owned and used daily one for 3 yrs and not problems at all. Great product, expecially for a small family or for a young family. Great saver on energy.
I thought that I had found the perfect oven for my kitchen. It did work quite well until the infrawave part of it made a popping sound. That was the end of this oven. Might have just been a defect on this one oven but would not chance buying another one. The company did pay me back immediately. I have many Black and Decker products and have never had a problem. So I would recommend Black and Decker but maybe not this oven.
Worked good for six mo. then the bottom element went bad. Black & Decker replaced it with a Oven that was half the size and half the value. The FC300 could cook a 14 inch pizza the replacement could only hold two slices.
I use it almost everyday, I could not be without it.
This oven cooks everything well. Its pretty amazing just using its default recommended settings and times and it always coming out perfectly. Very easy to use and easy to clean. It does get very hot though even on the outside. I've burned myself pretty good on it once.
we bought this as a Xmas gift , and after 3rduse of it , The glass fron shatered & exploded into kitchen of our friend . Black & Decker when contacted , immediatley advised "they no longer sold unit due to repeated issues like this" , they immediately substituted with a CHEAPER $30 counter top oven . We are very upset our friend didnt allow us to hanlde . We are now planning to address it with Overstock .

8-year extension could reach $131 million
Published: Apr 04 2013 05:42:41 PM EDT
Andrus, 24, can opt out after the 2018 season, which would essentially make the deal a four-year, $60 million extension. Should Andrus does for the full term, the deal's total value could reach $131 million.
Through his first four major league seasons, Andrus' batting average and on-base percentage have risen each year. In 2012, he batted .286 with a .349 OBP and a .378 slugging percentage with three homers, 62 RBI and 21 stolen bases. He earned his second All-Star Game appearances.

Gynecologic cancer surgeon Yukio Sonoda, who performs minimally invasive procedures when possible, discusses how patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering have the benefit of an entire team of physicians having input into their care.
I am a board-certified gynecologic oncologist who specializes in the surgical treatment of known or suspected tumors of the female genital tract. I work as part of a multidisciplinary team of doctors and nurses who care for women with cancer. My areas of expertise include surgery for cancers of the ovary, endometrium, cervix, vulva, and vagina. I have a special interest in the use of minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of these tumors.
I spent a year in France training with some of the pioneers of advanced laparoscopic and radical vaginal surgery. One of the procedures that I learned is radical vaginal trachelectomy — a fertility-sparing procedure intended for women diagnosed with early cervical cancer. I am also developing new applications for robotic surgery in the field of gynecologic oncology.

Screen Time: 3 Books That Should Be Movies
Originally published on Tue June 12, 2012 9:09 am
J.D. Salinger famously refused to sell the film rights to The Catcher in the Rye, saying it was "unactable." It's true the subtleties of such great novels can get lost in translation. But I thought I'd take a look at three of my favorite novels that have never made it to the multiplex in wide release. Each of these will transport you to another time and another place.
You are listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News.
Hollywood is forever going back to the well of books for movie ideas. In theaters right now, you can watch "The Hunger Games," "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," and most improbably, "What To Expect When You're Expecting" based on the best-selling pregnancy advice book.
Author Tessa Harris says if it's books Hollywood wants, there are still plenty of gems out there waiting to be discovered. She has this essay for our series Three Books.
TESSA HARRIS: J.D. Salinger famously refused to sell the film rights to "The Catcher in the Rye" saying it was un-actable. And it's true. The subtleties of such great novels can get lost in translation. So I thought I'd take a look at three of my favorite books that have not yet made it to the multiplex but which all transport you to another time and another place.
My first choice for a movie makeover would be Michelle Paver's "Wolf Brother." It's one of those children's books that transcends the genre and has been equally lauded by adults. Set in the era of early man and with a subtle hint of magic thrown in, the first book in her "Chronicles of Ancient Darkness" series introduces us to Torak. Young and fatherless, he befriends a wolf cub and, you guessed it, the cub speaks English. Together, they go on an epic journey that takes them through dense forests and over desolate, frozen landscapes. 20th Century Fox has bought the entire rights to the series, but the project has been on ice for several years. Let's hope it thaws out soon.
Of course, great film adaptations don't have to involve sweeping vistas and a cast of thousands. Novels that evoke the urban landscape can be equally cinematic. Take Caleb Carr's "The Alienist," for example, set in 19th and early 20th century New York. The camera would surely love to follow the progress of reporter John Moore and Dr. Laszlo Kreizler as they, together with a secret forensic team, investigate a string of gruesome serial murders.
We'd accompany them into the squalid immigrant districts filled with tenements and narrow staircases. Just think of the great chase scenes down all those dark alleyways in the poorest neighborhoods of the Lower East Side. Contrast this with the ostentatious wealth of Fifth Avenue mansions inhabited by the likes of the real-life banker J.P. Morgan, and you have a surefire Hollywood blockbuster.
From 19th century America, we travel to Renaissance Italy and the city of Ferrara, the setting for Sarah Dunant's "Sacred Hearts." How the camera could feast on that divine architecture hovering seductively over the lush landscape surrounding this northern Italian gem. It would make a stunning backdrop to the gripping tale of a 16-year-old novice who enters a convent against her will, leaving the man she loves behind. Dunant's masterful prose recreates a cruel and rigid world, and there are many moments of high drama: religious visions, fasting, self-flagellation and even a stigmatic nun.
Ultimately, however, "Sacred Hearts" is a story of the triumph of the human spirit, where love wins the day. Yet, while I admit I'd pay money to see any of these great novels on screen, some authors would probably prefer to stay at home. After all, the greatest multiplex in the universe is inside your mind, and the only ticket you need is a good, well-written novel.
BLOCK: Tessa Harris is the author of "The Anatomist's Apprentice," which was originally written as a screenplay. You can comment on this essay at nprbooks.org.
