Easy Up Written By mikeb, Harrisonburg on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 This wall mount was easy to install. It does everything I need it to do. The quality of the metal and the paint is very good. And the pirce was great. I recommend it! Pros: Just a few tools required. The mounting holes lined up perfectly with my tv. The articulated arm moves very easily and stays in position after moving it. Cons: The product is a bit heavy. One needs strong forearms to keep it in position while marking the pilot holes. I suppoes one could make a template on the mounting bracket and then mark the wall for the pilot holes.

TV Wall Mount Written By TeresaM, Harrisonburg, VA on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 This is a really nice wall mount; however, the bad part is it comes with numerous bolts but none that fit the plate that attaches to the TV. We had to get other bolts for this to work and then everything else was fine. Crutchfield is the best place to deal with.

Perhaps now AMD will have some more resources for fglrx.
Phoronix: AMD Joins Up With Intel & Nokia On MeeGo Linux
The first-ever MeeGo conference is going on this week in Dublin, Ireland and from that event that's about furthering this open-source mobile/embedded Linux distribution founded by Intel and Nokia, AMD has announced they want in on this Linux lovechild too. They have officially announced from Dublin they have joined the MeeGo project and will begin contributing to this OS that targets netbooks, smart-phones, in-vehicle computer systems, and other embedded devices...
Perhaps now AMD will have some more resources for fglrx.
MeeGo will ship the open source drivers. If this news means anything, then excellent open source support for AMD Fusion (did I say I am totally getting an AMD Fusion powered notebook?).
This doesn't make any sense. I'll get back to this in a moment.Perhaps now AMD will have some more resources for fglrx.
agreed. Products on that low-end are not expected to have good fast-pass rendering performance and tend to need more well-rounded feature sets, not shader throughput. E.G., I don't really care that my Radeon 9600 power Crysis. I do expect it to be able to handle a Youtube video through.
Now, that having been said, AMD is pushing the netbook gaming angle pretty hard with games like City of Heroes. We know that some of the CoH devs and temp hires have had *nix training, been sent out for *nix training, or had some *nix background. We also know that Valve is going to do a Steam Linux Client, and we know that Valve is in negotiation with developers who have Linux clients that already sell through to OSX and Windows through the existing steam version.
Currently most games that are "commercially" complex do not really work with the open drivers. Given the background information that we have though, it is possible that AMD, Valve, and other publishers / developers see the potential retail values with performance games atop Linux platforms.
This is where we get into the point where meklu's post makes no sense what-so-ever. Right now the source code for AMD's driver releases are the same. Improvements to the Windows OpenGL driver benefit the Linux driver as well.
Now, if meklu had said something to the effect of: perhaps now AMD will invest more resources in OpenGL... that would have made sense. To be fair, AMD is "finally" working their OpenGL driver support as evidenced by the multiple 10.10 hotfix drivers on Windows. Now, AMD might finally be paying attention to OpenGL again because more game publishers and game developers are realizing that DirectX is a catastrophically expensive mistake. Or they might finally be paying attention to OpenGL again because Nvidia's off doing... who knows what. Going Bankrupt if the investors are to be believed.
Anyways, if the game publishers and game developers do see the retail value in supporting Linux as a platform, that might be enough to push AMD to invest more developers on making specific *nix centric optimizations for the Linux release rather than the generic OpenGL shared-source approach currently in use.
Nvidia going bankrupt? Not to drive the thread off-topic but I thought Nvidia is doing best, they usually have better and sooner OpenGL support, Apple has chosen Nvidia for its hw, why would it go bankrupt..
Heh... Just because they have good drivers and they have chosen NVidia for their hardware doesn't mean much really in the scheme of things.
About 5 years ago, it was the other way around with Apple- just for starters...mainly because AMD was providing better product and better service to Apple at the time.
I'd say with the disastrous BGA solder ball problem that NVidia had a bit back that cost them at least $200 million or more in 2008... they're not doing as hot as they could- couple that with the seriously delayed Fermi rollout... They can't be sitting as pretty as you're implying.
I have reason to believe from what I've seen and heard that Nvidia isn't as well-run as they used to be. Unless they can turn themselves around and build some kind of coherent strategy (more than "let's pack some more multiprocessors on a die and people will buy it"), they'll be in trouble soon.
It seems like they're losing to AMD and Intel in the mid-range and low-end markets, where a lot of the money is. Fusion has the potential to push them out of the mobile market almost completely.
BTW, Fusion looks amazing, and I really hope it has really good Linux support (i.e. I hope a G3D driver is in development a while before Fusion chips are on the shelves, and I hope the instruction set for the GPU is available once they release). This could be amazing from the perspective of using the GPU for a lot of things that were previously dominated by bus-latency.
nVidia's proprietary drivers on Windows used to beat ATI's because they improved performance with older games, whilst the ATI drivers used to only fix performance issues in the popular games that were at that time current.
Nowadays nVidia only increases performance with faster cards and AMD is now know to increase performance with each new driver they release. Wether that is true I do not know, but I do think that they do given their recode from scratch, but it definately sells. AMD cards are also cheaper and greener. Only a fool buys an nVidia for Windows and a select few buy it for their Linux driver, although fglrx is almost on to par with it on Linux.
nVidia cards don't really make any sense for a customer and given that they lost the reason to buy, nVidia might go 3dfx, AMD stops advancing cards really fast and thus greener cards and longer lifetime of a card can be guaranteed.


text: Dear IndictBushNow supporter, George Bush is about to reemerge to peddle his new book—and the Indict Bush movement is mobilizing to be there to expose him as the war criminal he is.Starting this month, Bush is set to go on a media tour promoting his new book, "Decision Points." We will be there too, and we need your help. This is more than just selling a book. It is an effort by Bush to carry out his own political rehabilitation and to legitimize his criminal acts. In the book, Bush recounts being asked by the C.I.A. whether it could proceed with the torture of those in U.S. detention. Bush proudly writes that his reply was, "Damn right." The U.N. Convention Against Torture, to which the United States is a signatory, requires that all parties enforce its provisions holding those who torture criminally responsible. It allows for "universal jurisdiction" which has been used by prosecutors in Spain and Belgium to investigate Bush officials. Ramsey Clark has emphasized that it is the imperative responsibility of the American people to relentlessly pursue this investigation, and to seek prosecution and indictment inside of the United States. Thousands have responded to the call to demand a special prosecutor for Bush's war crimes. The U.N. Special Rapporteur for Torture has called on the Obama Administration to investigate these criminal acts. Will you help us in this effort? Please make a special donation today - your contribution right now will help buy a huge banner that will confront Bush and the media as he travels the country. IndictBushNow volunteers are getting ready to hit the streets with the banner and signs. This amoral criminal has blood on his hands. People all over the world now associate the United States as a nation that practices and exports torture. We must act. Please take a moment today and help support the movement for justice and accountability - together we can do it. From all of us at IndictBushNow

Moore, CC on a roll as Rays, Yanks meet in St. Pete
It turns out returning to Tropicana Field may have been exactly what the Rays needed to jump-start their season.
The Rays will look to build off their weekend sweep of the Athletics when they continue their homestand against the Yankees. After going 2-7 on a nine-game trip to fall to 5-10, Tampa Bay took three straight from Oakland to start its six-game homestand. It also doesn't hurt that Tampa Bay has won 11 of the last 13 meetings with the Yanks in St. Petersburg.
The Rays will look to keep both streaks going on Monday when they turn to red-hot Matt Moore in a southpaw showdown against Yankees ace CC Sabathia.
Moore is off to a 3-0 start with a 1.00 ERA through three starts in just his second full season in the Majors. Though the Yankees still have a number of stars on the disabled list, Moore knows it won't be easy to silence a Yankees club that comes in having won its last four series.
"They're playing really well," Moore said. "Obviously they have a lot of key players out of their lineup, so the fact that they're still playing well means that they have that stuff that teams get when their big guys do go down, where they just step up. They're definitely going to be a battle coming in here. We're looking forward to getting back on track like we've been the last couple days."
It won't be an easy task against Sabathia, who has won three consecutive starts after a disappointing season debut. However, despite the ace's 1.57 ERA in those three victories, there has been some concern over his dip in velocity.
In Wednesday's outing against the D-backs, his fastball again hovered mostly around 90 mph, topping out at 91. Sabathia hopes to get his fastball back to its usual 92-93 mph range, but he's fully prepared to continue stifling hitters even if it doesn't.
"It's reality. You never know," Sabathia said. "I've never been through anything like this, so I don't know. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I've been pitching for a long time. Eventually, it was going to happen.
"I'm hoping some more velocity comes back. If not, we'll work with this."
Just 23, Moore knows he will eventually face more obstacles like the one facing Sabathia. For now, he's content on just riding out his own hot streak and trying to help his team extend its streak.
"I'm going to struggle again at some point throughout my career," Moore said. "It's going to be where I can't find that release point or that command is not there and you're going to have to battle that night. I've been there before, and with the way I'm feeling right now, it's nice just to have that feeling that you've kind of got something figured out for the time being."
Yankees: Youkilis battling tight back
Though Kevin Youkilis said his back felt good enough to play Sunday, manager Joe Girardi held the third baseman out of the starting lineup as a precaution.
Youkilis left Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in the sixth inning with lower back tightness. Girardi said he had already planned to rest the 34-year-old for a game during the three-game set in Toronto because of the turf at Rogers Centre. Youkilis' status for Monday's series opener -- on the Tropicana Field turf -- is up in the air.
"I just want to try to clear it up if we can," Girardi said. "It's good that he feels a lot better, that's a positive thing for us."
Youkilis is hitting .295 with two home runs and nine RBIs in 16 games.
Rays: Scott likely to start rehab assignment soon
Luke Scott is on the verge of starting a rehab assignment either Monday or Tuesday, marking the final step of the process as he works to return from a strained right calf.
Scott, on the disabled list since March 31, ran the bases at full speed, went through several running drills and took batting practice Sunday morning at Tropicana Field. He's simply waiting on clearance from trainer Ron Porterfield before starting his assignment, which will likely come with Class A Advanced Port Charlotte.
"It's been a long process and a testing of patience, but I've been disciplined in not trying to push it too much and listen to my body," Scott said on Sunday. "It's been a little stubborn at times, but I like where I'm at. Today was a good day."
Worth noting
• Evan Longoria is 14-for-39 (.359) with five home runs lifetime against Sabathia. Only Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano has more career homers (six) off the southpaw.
• Moore's first career start came against the Yankees on Sept. 22, 2011, when he tossed five shutout innings and recorded a career-high 11 strikeouts for his first big league victory.
• Sgt. Michael Nicholson, a triple-amputee Marines veteran, will throw out Monday's ceremonial first pitch. Nicholson lost both his legs and his right arm when an improvised explosive device went off on July 6, 2011, while he was serving in Afghanistan.

Posted by TigerinATL on 11/12 at 10:48 am to wope quote: LINK Sounds like Loomis is comfortable with the Demps/Monty combo and is happy to let them do their thing. There is already speculation that resigning Gordon could cost Demps his job, but the GM talent pool is VERY shallow and Loomis doesn't sound the least bit interested in micromanaging the Hornets now that he's able to do his day job again.

Posted by quail man on 11/12 at 11:43 am to TigerinATL Demps played the Gordon shite as best as he could. he made the move he felt at the time he had to with the information he had present. it is what it is, and I'm sure he got approval to do what he had to do from Loomis, etc. he's made some amazing moves and trades the past few years. i'd take him over anyone else.Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerinATL on 11/12 at 11:49 am to quail man quote: The comments were probably made by the very same idiots that said we should have traded CP3 instead of Collison, as if that's something you consider for even a split second. Teams like the Hornets don't usually get to turn cap space into a star player, so you take your slim chances with the star player in the hand rather than hoping you can be the team that lands the 2 or 3 star players available through FA or Trade every season. quote: The GM candidate pool is so thin that pretty much every recent GM job has been filled by some descendent of the Pop/Buford Spurs tree. So if the Hornets were to get a new GM, they'd basically be looking for a lesser version of Demps. This post was edited on 11/12 at 11:50 am Reply Back to Top |
Posted by 42 on 11/12 at 12:08 pm to TigerinATL Since we are speculating here, or repeating it, I would offer up for consideration that the Gordon match / lack of S&T was a brass decision rather than a management decision. Was it more short-sighted or taking the long-view? Did it seem like a good idea with just a little data or a good idea given the body of work? Larry Coon said today on the Hornets247 podcast, and this is a near-quote, that the Clippers didn't mind tossing Gordon in because they thought he'd command a high salary and that his injury history would make him not worth it. Key word: Clippers. So, let's not just bring up one theory and attack it . . . put a few out there and see which ones stand up the best, because they all have holes when there is imperfect information and an `inefficient market' of that information. Who knows, maybe a new theory will form. Again, part of that is me speculating, but part is a quote from Larry Coon who said he was told this about the Aminu trade. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by saintsfan92612 on 11/12 at 12:37 pm to 42 all I know is when the Suns offered the Max to Gordon, Demps had to match it. We could no longer sign and trade him at that point. Our choice was sign him or let him go. If we let him go we essentially gave up Paul for Austin Rivers and Aminu. Now, Aminu has certainly improved this past offseason and is playing great. You could argue that a sign and trade should have been aggressively pursued prior to the max contract being offered, though. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by SlowFlowPro on 11/12 at 12:42 pm to saintsfan92612 quote: and a top draft pick and salary cap space Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerinATL on 11/12 at 12:42 pm to 42 quote: I would agree that Loomis/Lauscha/Benson signed off and maybe even demanded keeping Gordon. I'm not sure how good the source is but in one of the recent podcasts I think Michael said he heard Demps didn't even return calls to Phoenix and Houston about trading Gordon and the plan all along was to match. quote: The team doctors have said there is no structural damage. If Demps wanted to unload Gordon for expirings I'm pretty sure someone would take a chance on Gordon's potential until he gets diagnosed with something career threatening. Right now Demps is playing the odds, and the odds are better that Gordon becomes a star for the Hornets than Jared Dudley and 2012 Cap Space become a star for the Hornets. Reply Back to Top |
quote: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember the trade almost being called off (if not called off before being revived) because the Clippers did not want to include Gordon. From that statement, it makes it look like the opposite. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerinATL on 11/12 at 12:46 pm to SlowFlowPro quote: Getting Davis alone was enough to make the CP3 trade a win. Making future decisions based on justifying the return of a past deal can often lead to bad decision making. The question to ask when matching was "are the Hornets better with Gordon or cap space", not "did we get a good deal for CP3?" Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerinATL on 11/12 at 12:51 pm to mm2316 quote: While I do remember confusion as to whether or not Gordon was included in the deal, from what I remember the deal "fell apart" not over no Gordon but over no Bledsoe as a 5th asset in the deal. The GM of the Clippers said after the fact he only had preapproval from Sterling to move 4 assets, one of which was Gordon. Part of why the deal didn't happen the first time was Demps seemed to want more to feel it was comparable to what the Lakers/Rockets were offering and the Clippers had no intention of budging at all. This post was edited on 11/12 at 12:52 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by saintsfan92612 on 11/12 at 12:51 pm to TigerinATL I personally think we're better when Gordon plays then when cap space plays, but I am still waiting for the day this season. Reply Back to Top Refresh |

By Olympian Labs Inc.
4 Reviews-
Expiration Date:?May 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?2.31 lbs (1.05 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Product Overview
- Gluten-Free
- 4845 Antioxidant ORAC Units Per Dose
- Whole Food Multivitamins
- pH Balanced Enzymes
- Probiotics
- Hypoallergenic Pea Protein Isolate
- 2 Grams of Fiber
- Branch Chain Amino Acids
- Gentle Detoxification & Cleansing
- 50 Servings Per Container
- Dietary Supplement
Greens Protein 8 in 1 is a great tasting, nutrient-rich, complete, whole food drink mix that contains a blend of eight products in one!
- Whole Food Multivitamins: Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains whole foods that are rich in naturally occurring, highly assimilated vitamins and minerals. Consuming "nature made" nutrients is the most natural way to assimilate nutrients necessary for optimal health. Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains 15.5 grams per serving of whole food nutrients providing you with vitamins and minerals needed for optimal health. Just look at the label and see.
- Enzymes to Assist in Nutrient Digestion and Absorption: Optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract ensures that digestion and absorption of nutrients critical to good health happens efficiently. Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains both alpha and beta amylases and four different plant proteases uniquely combined to optimize a healthy digestion of starches and vegetable proteins in the various pH ranges of the body's digestion system. Some people can't digest foods with cellulytic content (high fiber and fruit skins). This results in the build-up of gastric gases. The cellulase enzyme in our blend may assist with the digestion of cellulose. HemiSeb contains a special blend of xylanase, beta-glucanases, phytase and other hemicellulases. These enzymes reduce the viscosity of foods in the stomach, which may result in better absorption and bioavailability of nutrients.
- Hypoallergenic Pea Protein Isolate is a plant based protein that yields a high biological value of (BV) (65.4%). The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein. It measures the actual amount of protein deposited per gram of protein absorbed. High BV proteins are a great choice for increased nitrogen retention, enhanced immunity and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) stimulation. They are superior for reducing lean tissue loss from various wasting states than proteins with a low BV score. Most of the greens drinks available on the market today contain little or no protein and may contribute to fluctuating blood sugar levels. Pea Protein Isolate is easily digested and may help balance the vegetable carbohydrates and protein ratio needed for healthy nutrition.
- Patented Fiber Protection: The recommended daily fiber intake, based on a 2000-calorie diet, is 25 grams per day for women and 38 grams per day for men. Most American diets rarely achieve this goal. Beneficial aspects of dietary fiber include decreased intestinal transit time, delayed gastric emptying, increased pancreatic secretions, provide bulk to stools, improved intestinal flora and may also help decrease serum lipid levels (cholesterol). Diets low in dietary fiber diet can lead to serious health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, gout, gallstones, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, ischemic disease, constipation, hemorrhoids and irritable bowel syndrome. Greens Protein 8 in 1 has added patented fiber (Fibersol) that yields 10% of the RDA fiber requirements may help fortify intestinal health.
- Antioxidant Protection: Antioxidants are our best defense against the damaging effects of free radicals on our cells. It is vital to include adequate amounts of antioxidant rich nutrients, like those found in fresh vegetables, to assist in fighting free radicals. Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains nutrient-dense cereal greens, vegetables, herbal extracts and fruits which may provide antioxidant protection. Each serving contains the antioxidant activity of over 7 cups of fresh fruits and vegetables! We don't just say it's a great antioxidant. We measure it using the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) lab test. The ORAC assay specifically measures the scavenging capacity of antioxidants in nutrients against the peroxyl radical; one of the most common reactive oxygen species. It is estimated that a scant 10% of the U.S. population consumes the recommended USDA Food Pattern of 4.5 cups of fruits and vegetables per day. This means that 90% of Americans do not meet the minimum standards! The average serving of fruits and/or vegetables yields approximately 500 ORAC units and the USDA recommends that to provide meaningful antioxidant health benefits, you need at least 2,400 to 3,000 ORAC units in your daily diet. Greens Protein 8 in 1 may offer antioxidant protection by providing 4845 ORAC units per serving!
- Gentle Detoxification & Cleansing: Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains amino acids and herbal detoxifiers to maintain healthy blood and may help remove destructive toxins, such as heavy metals and pollutants. These toxins can gradually weaken our tissues and lead to disease unless removed from our bodies daily.
- Probiotics are friendly bacteria that play an important role in digestion, proper metabolism and overall health. Current scientific literature supports that regular use of probiotics may promote normal digestive health and may help to restore a healthy intestinal balance.
- The Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) leucine, isoleucine and valine are important, essential amino acids that positively affect skeletal muscle growth, enhance fat loss, help to stimulate protein synthesis and inhibit its breakdown. BCAA's are critical to human life and are particularly involved in stress, energy and muscle metabolism.
Benefits of Greens Protein 8 in 1:
- May help promote healthy blood sugar levels.
- Supports immune health.
- May naturally and gently help with system detoxification.
- Contains fiber and digestive enzymes which may contribute to healthy digestion and regularity.
- Provides protection against free radicals.
- May increase energy levels naturally without the use of stimulants.
- Provides a wide variety of nutrients to support cellular metabolism.
- Provides nutrients for brain health.
- Establishes a proper pH in the intestines leading to a healthy colon environment.

03/10/13 Macular Degeneration and First Connection Resource Sharing Group First Connection: For people who are newly diagnosed with macular degeneration (AMD) or other diseases of the retina. Family members and friends are welcome. Meets 30 minutes before the Network meeting. Network Meeting: For those with vision loss caused by eye disorders that affect central vision and other eye concerns. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common eye condition among people age 50 and older. It gradually can destroy the macula, the part of the eye that provides sharp central vision needed for seeing objects clearly. Although AMD can limit one's vision, it does NOT cause complete blindness; nevertheless, it can present many unexpected new challenges. Sibley Senior Association co-sponsors the Macular Degeneration Network, along with the Prevention of Blindness Society (POB) of Metropolitan Washington, to offer opportunities to share the latest research findings, techniques for low-vision rehabilitation, information about accessible technology, transportation, recreation and fellowship to assist you or someone you know to maximize independence.

Michael, in every article comparing open source and proprietary GPU drivers, please, add CPU usage stats.
// I'd be also much interested in seeing the system power draw - but that'll be a tedious work for you.
Phoronix: The Open-Source ATI Driver Is Becoming A Lot Faster
Now that the kernel mode-setting page-flipping for the ATI Radeon DRM kernel module has been merged into the Linux 2.6.38 kernel and the respective bits have been set in the xf86-video-ati DDX, we're in the process of running new open-source ATI graphics benchmarks under Linux. Our initial results (included in this article) show these latest improvements to cause some major performance boosts for the open-source ATI driver as it nears the level of performance of the proprietary Catalyst driver.
Michael, in every article comparing open source and proprietary GPU drivers, please, add CPU usage stats.
// I'd be also much interested in seeing the system power draw - but that'll be a tedious work for you.
Not for notebooks. PTS can monitor power sensors (just like CPU temperatures and usage and all other hwmon/thinkpad/LM_Sensors modules) in real-time and line graph them for each test, but for desktops I have no systems with integrated power sensors (I guess just some high-end workstations) and won't use my wall power monitor since it can't plug into PTS.
Michael Larabel
Is this relevant for R700? Or we have to wait yet again?
Looks like I'm going to have to get a new PSU and test these improvements out on my X1250 and 4650 on my HTPC
Fingers crossed that 1080p video plays smoothly too
These results are absolutely remarkable. If most of these optimisations eventually find their way into r600g, then we have lots to rejoice about. Many of these improvements are indeed on their way for r600+ cards too.
The 300+ FPS on OpenArena are meaningless. The frames are so easy to render that it just measures the ability of the driver to quickly push lots of data to the card. It doesn't really play an important role for anything, and is caused by the driver being CPU-bound and single-threaded.
The results in more challenging games which use lots of GLSL (like Nexuiz) are far more telling. It's amazing that we're that close to Catalyst.
This sort of performance is already completely satisfactory for users like me, who are not into high-performance gaming, which is the vast majority. If we get this sort of relative performance compared to Catalyst in r600g by the end of this year, that will be an amazing achievement. And still there is profiling being done and still optimisations to come.
I'm very happy about this.
Thank you, Michael, the 9.3 comparison is much appreciated.
From these results, it is obvious that radeon is still CPU limited. It is probable, if not certain, that R300-R500 will reach or even surpass fglrx once these CPU bottlenecks are eliminated.
This is unlikely to happen for R600+, as the hardware and drivers are much more complex. Still, very positive results! I'd love to see what will happen once hyper-z and z-compression is implemented.
I love it, although getting close... More like closer
And hey there's a new forum layout... which hurts my eyes in the late nights
There is only one word to describe this.

I've got to take another look at my cyberverse bulkhead to see how easy the head comes off.
If it's a pinned job, then clearly this would be a bit more advanced custom. Hopefully a few screws is all it will take.

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a tiny organism called a protozoon. Many people are infected with this protozoon. However, few people have any symptoms or problems from it.
Toxoplasmosis is passed from animals to humans. People can contract it by:
A pregnant woman who gets toxoplasmosis for the first time may pass it to her unborn child. Active infection usually occurs one time in a person's life, although the protozoon remains inactive in the body. Generally, if a woman has become immune to the infection before getting pregnant, she will not pass the condition to her baby.
Factors that increase your chance of getting toxoplasmosis include:
Most people do not have symptoms. Those who do have symptoms may have:
People with weakened immune systems may have toxoplasmosis infections in multiple organs. Infection is most common in the brain ( encephalitis ), eyes ( chorioretinitis ), and lungs (pneumonitis). Symptoms may include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
In babies, the severity of symptoms depends on when the mother became infected during pregnancy. If infection occurs during the first three months of pregnancy, babies are less likely to become infected. But if they do, then their symptoms are much more severe. During the last six months, babies are more likely to become infected. But, their symptoms are less serious. Toxoplasmosis can also cause miscarriage or stillbirth.
About one in 10 babies born with toxoplasmosis has severe symptoms. These include:
Many babies infected with toxoplasmosis may seem healthy at birth. But they may develop problems months or years later. These include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Blood tests are done to look for antibodies produced by the body to fight the toxoplasmosis. Other lab tests are done to look for the protozoa itself.
If a pregnant woman is infected, prenatal tests, including ultrasound and amniocentesis , are performed to determine if the fetus is infected.
People who are healthy and not pregnant do not need treatment if symptoms are mild. Symptoms usually go away within a few weeks to months. People with a weakened immune system are treated with antitoxoplasmosis medicines for several months.
If a pregnant woman is infected but the fetus is not, the mother is usually given an antibiotic. It can decrease the chance of the fetus becoming infected.
Fetuses with confirmed toxoplasmosis infections are treated by giving the mother a combination of these medications:
These drugs can reduce the severity of, but not eliminate, a newborn's symptoms. After the baby is born, different combinations of medication will be given.
Women who are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant should talk to their physician about taking a blood test. It will help determine if they are immune to toxoplasmosis (which would be a sign of a prior exposure). If they are not, they should take the following steps to avoid sources of toxoplasmosis:
These steps also apply to people with weakened immune systems.

r u trying to be funny?
"and grants for green jobs"
I want to hear the politicians tout the tens of thousands of jobs "created" in the green sector and how that will offset the half million or more jobs lost in the rest of the market.
Until someone can put a dollar value on the global warming effect of CO2 or other emissions I don't see any need to cripple our economy. Where are the American people???? Everyone should be contacting their senators and state representatives every day opposing all this nonsense, the government is putting everyone out of work, well except for gov employees, which we pay for.
This bill along with many others will only put more people out of work. It is bull crap, all of it!!!!!People better get together, unite against all this crap before it is too late? Maybe we all have busy lives, but are we going to stand by and let them continue taking over all of our Freedom and Liberty???
The things gov is doing make me ill, literally! Is their anyone who actually believes in the US Constituion????????
Yes, Yes, Yes, come on people make a stand, and contact your government representatives, all of them, state and local. Voice your opinions and concerns. And don't stop, keep writing, calling, emailing. And let them know they can and will be replaced if they won't listen. Support our Freedoms and our Constitution.
Look, I completely agree, but take it from me, writing your reps doesn't work. They don't care what we think. For two months, I wrote my representatives, literally, every single day! All you get is a mass handout entailing every single issue that they voted for, most of which, their constituents(You) told them not to. They do what their party wants. They don't represent us. And, there is no party for the people any more! Repubs, Dems, and Libs are all different heads on the same damn beast! We need to start protesting, and, when necessary, conduct (Lawful)Civil Insurrection. Anything else will be ignored.

Our 9-12 group has repeatedly contacted all our represenatives and have told them in no uncertain terms that supporting this bill will cost them their seat.
Also, letter writing campaigns and email/faxes and very frank phone calls. How do you explain to people that THOUGHT they we're going to get a tax-cut (95% lie)have tripled utility bills instead to support a hoax? All this does is turn the utility company into an arm of the IRS. Government jobs are paid for by taxpayers. Once a government job is created we pay the wages, medical & vacations of that person in that job! Well for twenty years until they retire.
Then, we pay their retirement and someone to replace the person who retired.
After another twenty years, we pay 2 people retirement pay and yet another person to do the job that the first 2 retired from.
Don't ya get it, a gov job only creates more $$ needed to run government!!A privately owned company, small business; they hire people to work and they pay their wages, not the taxpayers.
Government regulations cause small business to go out of business, thus costing Americans jobs that are not paid by taxpayers.It is common sense to have privately owned small businesses. Government regulations and Union regulations have destroyed many thousands of small businesses to create huge conglomerate businesses that they can control, and they doing more of it all the time.
DRILL HERE< DRILL NOW< Small business< Let our country, let American use the Natural resourses we have to create jobs, to strengthen our Country. The Grid to control your use of energy in your own home?
Have you ever been to Russia? Their government controls their heat, it gets turned on the same day every year, whether it gets cold earlier or stays hot later is not govs concern.
It also gets turned off same day every year, so if it gets warm earlier or stays cold later is also not govs concern.Example: lets say it's still 35 degrees outside, but the day comes when it's time for heat to be shut off……… too too bad, just freeze then.
Again it is because it was an old existing system, they did not have hot water heaters back then. So the city tried to provide the heat the best they knew how at the time… those old systems were probably put in place more then 50 years ago when they did not manufacture Hot water heaters like they do now.
Geesh more fear mongering I see… It only appears like Russia is controlling the heat because in many European and Russian cities they have not updated their plumbing and mechanical systems. Some old cities still have a local coal plant that provides hot water heat to the whole city via a network of underground pipes. Those are very old systems and costly to replace. They did not have hot water heaters in the old days. Those are old existing systems and need updating… its not about controlling the people.
I lived in Siberia for 2 years – the way we controlled the temp in our flat was to open the window. The heater really pumped out the heat – no thermostat or shutoff, just let out the heat if it's too hot. We usually had all the windows WIDE OPEN even in -20 weather! Get ready to experience the genius of a centrally planned economy…

Cap and Trade is a tax, and it's a great big one. Even democrat Chairman Emeritus of Energy and Commerce Committee John Dingell says this. Everyone in Congress knows this is a tax on the American people.
Imposing such a tax during a recession is economic suicide.

Oh yes, just what we need another tax. This is one of the dumbest yet. What is our government trying to do, DESTROY us. This will increase the cost of everything we buy, use, and consume. And it won't change global warming at all. What were all the predictions on the first Earth Day? Google it…. not one came true. If those predictions had come true we wouldn't be here today. Come on people, wake up write your Congresmen and Senators, let them know that this is a bunch of bull. Oh yes, we need to tax cattle also ( methane gas).

The good news is there is one, one that promotes healthcare for its citizens, one that wanted America out of a costly war that damaged our economy, one that did not pimp us out to the Chinese, one that promotes civil rights, one that cares about ordinary citizens and does not cut taxes for it's super rich friends, one that does not have our phone conversations recorded and scare the American Public into allowing their civil liberties breached under the misnomer "Patriot Act". In case you didn't know, I am talking about the Democrats, facts are facts.
We pay the lowest taxes of any first world country. Our infrastructure is falling apart, and more and more of our citizens are unable to afford health care…it could happen to you. This is as a result of 8 years of uncontrolled spending.. were you protesting then? I bet not, because the last 8 years one would be called unpatriotic or unamerican for protesting President Bush. These are the same people protesting "bigger government" and more taxes. We DO need more taxes to pay for Iraq, a war WE started and did not pay for because Bush borrowed money from China to pay for it, and lowered our taxes…you are nuts to think that our taxes should be even lower, and government should get out of the way. How will you survive without Medicare and Social Security? If you really wanted big government out of your life,you should opt out of both.

I have yet to see anything of value requiring OpenGL 3.0 or later on Linux. OilRush seems to run fine on drivers advertising 2.1. And nothing released since runs on GL 3 or later.
Phoronix: Intel Ivy Bridge - Linux: GL 3.0, Windows: GL 4.0
While the Intel Linux graphics developers have postponed the OpenGL 3.1 support until probably next year, the Intel Windows driver developers have now managed OpenGL 4.0 support, which compliments the OpenCL 1.1 support on Ivy Bridge -- another feature not found at this point in the Intel Linux GPU driver...
I have yet to see anything of value requiring OpenGL 3.0 or later on Linux. OilRush seems to run fine on drivers advertising 2.1. And nothing released since runs on GL 3 or later.
Well, it's possible that they only require some small subset of GL 3.x, and that subset is supported by mesa even though it advertises "GL 2.1". In fact I think that's probably the reality. Mesa won't increment its actual GL version advertisement until it supports the _entire_ version it advertises, not just some of it. That way people don't file tons of bugs about unsupported extensions etc.
I wonder why is OpenGL 4 lagging so much on Linux Intel driver. This is not even priority under windows, and yet they matched it to 4. Why such a lag? Why they cannot develop it as join effort? Whats the real problem under the hood?
Intel is almost certainly the largest Mesa contributor, so I'd say they are doing fine. It is unreasonable to expect them (or act snippy, as you seem to be doing) to bring up the entire stack (like cairo, X, wayland, pixman) to Windows levels on their own.
I would like to see how well ivb performs when turning on sna, rc6.
I completely agree with crazycheese and liam.
I would also like to point out that in some ways I think its kind of a good thing that open source drivers don't work with newer versions of openGL, because they're not ready yet. Regardless of demand, game developers like Blizzard might get discouraged to support an OS where the Nvidia proprietary drivers are really the only ones completely reliable and fully equipped, relatively speaking. Intel is 2nd best, and as this article points out, it is still notably behind. So I'm thinking that unless the open source driver devs for some reason decide to jump to future versions of opengl before they really optimize their code, not supporting future versions of opengl will help prevent people from using these drivers for games that they can't handle, even if newer versions of opengl were supported. Then, only the fully supported devices will be used.
What I find weird is Linux is really the only OS that should care about opengl 3 and higher, yet it has the weakest support for it. Mac, AFAIK, doesn't have much support for oGL4 and Windows prefers DX.
well intel "Linux: GL 3.0, Windows: GL 4.0" thats why i don't buy intel products!
I know that you only buy hardware with AMD logo on it. Don't know if AMD addiction is good. As TSMC produces the gpus for AMD and NVIDIA it does not matter which dedicated card you buy, nothing was produced in germany. Often cpus are cheaper from AMD, but only because they are slower. With every new Intel cpu generation the AMD prices have to go down. What AMD does is definitely really stupid, the fastest cpus they sell do not have got onchip vga, only the slow ones got a gpu. But as you certainly know that you won't get any fglrx driver updates for hd 42xx and that gfx core is used for am3 solutions and you do not get any video acceleration with radeon oss compared to intel oss, what is the better choice? Buying the slower FM1 cpus? Buy an addional AMD dedicated gpu which will be dropped from the binary driver while the cards are still sold? I don't think that AMD is the best choice with the one and only exception that the hardware is often cheaper. If that matters for you, then buy it. Opterons btw. are the worst choice for a gamer, too low speed/core.
Excuse me, what?
What has AMD got to do with this?
(I tried searching both the article and the discussion and the only mentions of AMD were on your post.)
Edit: I didn't notice Qaridarium's post. My eyes must have somehow skipped it automatically after reading the poster's name.

Burnett, Bucs have momentum for opener in Philly
The Pirates might have finally figured out their offense, ending their homestand strong against the Braves on Sunday, 4-2, as they took three of four from Atlanta and recorded their seventh win in their nine games at home.
Pittsburgh hit .266 in its series win against Atlanta, and will look to carry the momentum in its opener with the Phillies on Monday. The game will mark the first time the Pirates have faced a team with a losing record this season, but Pirates manager Clint Hurdle isn't getting carried away with his club's relatively solid start against tough competition.
"All it means is we can beat a good team on a hot streak. But if we lose two straight, all the questions in [my office] change; I know that's the way it goes," said Hurdle.
The game marks the start of a 10-game road trip for Pittsburgh, its longest to date, as A.J. Burnett makes his fifth start.
Burnett was dominant early in his last start against the Cardinals, carrying a no-hitter for 6 2/3 innings before Carlos Beltran smacked a double. That was the only hit the right-hander gave up through seven scoreless innings, as his devastating curve helped push him to a team-leading 35 strikeouts.
Burnett is 6-9 against the Phillies over his career with a 5.06 ERA, but grabbed four of those wins in Philadelphia. The right-hander owns a 4.79 ERA through 67 1/3 innings against the Phillies, but will have his hands full as he tries to manage their strong home advantage this year.
Philadelphia's lineup has struggled at times this season, but has enjoyed a significant offensive boost at home, averaging 5.5 runs per game (sixth-best among all Major League clubs). Jonathan Pettibone might need the support, after being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to make his Major League debut Monday.
Pettibone was the Phillies' third-round selection in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, and has compiled a 3.44 ERA in 89 Minors appearances. The right-hander was a combined 13-8 with a 3.10 ERA between Double-A Reading and Lehigh Valley last season, but surrendered 12 runs (10 earned) in two starts at Triple-A this year.
"I think it lined up well for him," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "He's a guy who's got stuff. He hasn't pitched great this year yet, but his stuff has been good. The reports about his stuff and competitiveness have been good.
"His command hasn't been great. Hopefully he's got enough weapons and guile to pitch well for us. He's got a pretty good arsenal. We'll see how he competes."
Phillies: Howard staying put
Despite Ryan Howard's recent groin issues, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said he isn't looking to move his first baseman down in lineup. Moving the lefty out of the cleanup spot could create interesting matchup issues, with the right-hander Michael Young between him and lefty Chase Utley, but Manuel said he hasn't seen anyone who can match Howard's production.
"Guys are always talking to me about dropping him down. That'll be the day when somebody knocks in 130 runs. Or 120. I haven't seen anybody out here who can do that yet. That's kind of how I look at it. We can talk about it and go all around any way we want to," Manuel said.
"It's just a matter of getting him going. I think that's the biggest thing," Manuel said. "We need to get Howard hitting like he has in the past. The last couple years, he's been hurting, and he hasn't gotten back yet."
Pirates: Time for Inge to return?
The Pirates will have to make a call on Brandon Inge during this series. Inge began his 20-day rehab (cracked shoulder blade) on April 4 at Triple-A Indianapolis, and has since gone 8-for-54 with two doubles, two home runs, six RBIs and 12 walks.
• The Pirates have a fan in Manuel. "Lately they've been playing real good," Manuel said. "They've been winning some close games. They've been getting some big hits, too. I've been watching them. If it's on, I'll watch it, but also I've been watching because we play them soon. And they've been playing good."
Worth noting
• The Pirates have a 2-4 record on the road this season.
• Pirates outfielder Travis Snider extended his hitting streak to eight games on Sunday.
• On Sunday night, John Mayberry Jr. became the third different No. 2 hitter the Phillies have used this season. "Lately John's been hitting the ball hard," Manuel said. "I like John there because maybe my first six guys will move the ball and we'll score some runs. I don't know if I look at John as a speed runner but I think he can go first to third and second to home, so that helps."
