Nice helmet, secure fit
I don't have a lot of experience with full face helmets, but the fit of the evo wired is great. other reviewers are correct that it fits tighter around the jaw, but i didn't find it uncomfortable and didn't notice while riding. i personally like the snug, secure feeling. it was awkward to get headphones in with the helmet on, but after i did they felt fine.
it's pretty toasty in the helmet when you're not moving (like i imagine all the full faces i haven't tried are) but cools off quickly once you start cruising. and most importantly, it matches my bike colors, otherwise i'd just wear a hat...
My head measures at 22.75. Medium ends at...
My head measures at 22.75. Medium ends at 22.75 and Large begins at 22.75. Which size helmet should I buy?
Adam D
Pip, It you're on the boarder, I'd size up. These do tend to fit just a bit small.
Weird fit
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
The helmet fit my head correctly but the fit around the jaw is very tight.

Nice Helmet didn't fit me well
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
The 661 Evo Wired seems to be a nice helmet however it was very tight around my Jaw line. I ended up going with the 661 Comp Shifted instead.
Great helmet
I'm new to DH and this is my first full face, but I love it. It fits me well, vents well while riding, and most importantly functioned perfectly during a recent crash I had. Only small gripe is wished the chin strap pivoted a bit farther forward. Highly recommend.

Steezy helmet for the dough
Great helmet, looks sick and hopefully wont need to be used. My only beef is that Its kinda hot in the heat but what do you expect its a full face. Size chart is spot on btw.

Review, Booklist, August, 2012:
Brodien-Jones mixes fantasy and adventure in a way that would make Indiana Jones feel right at home. Plucky Zagora, her absentminded father, and her often lazy brother are all changed by their journey, each finding out something unexpected about one another, the people they meet, and themselves.
Review, Kirkus Reviews, June 1, 2012:
Combine a… premise involving the link between a mysterious planet and a half-buried desert city, giant scorpions with the power to communicate, and an eccentric cast of characters, and you've got a wild ride indeed. [For] readers who enjoy immersing themselves in adventures featuring creepiness of both the historical and otherworldly varieties.

Ranchers are united in desire to use best practices
Ranchers in the Upper Feather River Watershed Group are united in goals for healthy pastures and environment, as well as protection of historical water rights.
On tour Friday, Oct. 22, of the Indian Valley Meyers Family Ranch, participants learned about setting irrigation pipes and the methods to maximize responsible water use throughout the year.
While showing off his recently laser-leveled ranch land, Christian Meyers explained the water sources he is allowed to use and when.
He demonstrated how to join and set underground irrigation pipes, and the low pressures he expected from gravity-fed creek water.
Participants enjoyed a barbecue after the tour, including a lamb locally raised by Cooper Kingdon, a young member of another large Indian Valley ranching family.
Talk about water
Chairman Russell Reid led the annual meeting, and talk about water issues was a common concern among members.
Uppermost were state-mandated fees for dischargers and polluters, a tag they have all been labeled with.
Unfair, according to leadership, are the fees-per-acre charged regardless of whether or not pesticides are used that could seep into groundwater and creeks.
Monitoring on Plumas and Sierra county creeks has been ongoing for five years. Data shows permanent pasture, grazing and haying have little overall impact on water quality, according to U.C.-Davis rangeland watershed specialist Ken Tate, Ph.D.
He and Holly George of the University of California Cooperative Extension obtained a Proposition 50 grant for a special monitoring study that began in 2006.
The valley sites where water quality data has been gathered since 2005 include Indian Creek in Indian Valley below Arlington Bridge, the Middle Fork of the Feather River in Sierra Valley above the Grizzly Creek confluence, and Spanish Creek in American Valley below Greenhorn Creek confluence.
There are localized pollution issues though and watershed group leaders encourage partnerships between landowners and agencies such as the Natural Resources and Conservation Service, resource conservation districts, the University of California Cooperative Extension and others.
Grants are often available to help ranchers modify practices or add contrivances to mitigate pollution and erosion problems.
Group efforts in localized pollution issues include representation at stakeholder and legislative meetings, special monitoring programs to pinpoint causes and others.
What about rights?
Plumas and Sierra county ranchers are concerned about the protection of their historical water rights when it comes to creek restoration projects.
Indian Valley Director Brian Kingdon spoke about the issue during the board meeting Thursday, Oct. 14, in Calpine.
There are unknown impacts to downstream irrigators and water rights holders he reported.
Of special concern to his family are the Red Clover and Last Chance projects led by Feather River Coordinated Resource Management.
In Sierra Valley, vice chairman Paul Roen is dealing with a similar situation with the water company.
The group decided there needed to be more review prior to implementation of projects and more monitoring and studying afterward.
Members also suggested lead agencies should make more effort to share information about proposed projects with agricultural irrigators, which might help address their concerns.

"Nice Young Adult Adventure"
I listened to this one well past my commute and on the weekends becaue I wanted to see what happened. As others have said, it was a fresh perspective from the male point of view.
Lots of goof stuff ging on here, a little history, little soul mate idea, and a little magic rolled together with Southern "charm" (and sometimes not so charming.) The characterizations were well done and well rounded.
The narration was quite good as well. Yes, it got little cheesy at times, but it's young adult andI think at 16 we all felt that our first love was the end all be all of the universe, so it works.
Bottom line was it was really a good listen. Oh, and this one had some sound effects thrown in so it was a nice change of pace.
"Great Horror Story!"
I love horror stories that make me shudder. This one is excellent. A family moves to a small Northwest town and Angela's grandmother's house and has to fight the evil that lives there.
First, I want to warm people that it starts off with the suicide of a teenage boy. Having a son that age I was thinking of stopping right there. I am so glad I stuck with it. It starts off a little slow then gets going so well that I could not stop listening.
The prose is wonderful and the story went places I did not expect. The end is amazing! I did not know how she was going to get there, but Tananarive Due made it happen in a way that made me love it. Lots of twists and turns. You can tell she gave the story a lot of thought when you see how it fits all together in the end.
The narration is very well done. At times I forgot I was listening to someone talk because the narrator just put the pictures in my head like reading a book does. That's the sign of a good narrator to me. It is interesting how the story moves from the main character Angela, to her son Cory, and her husband and you get a feeling for their thoughts and feelings.
The story reminded me a little (and not in any copy cat sort of way) of Stephen King's Rose Red, because these two stories are the ultimate haunted houses. As in Rose Red, not everyone makes it out OK. Some people succomb to evil.
I also really loved the perspective. The family in the story is clearly African American and their perspective is different from mine. A good novel can take you into someone else's life and the author does this well. Loved seeing how other families have the some of the same and some different issues and how they go about handling them.
I can't say enough good about this book. Extremely well done! If you like the horror genre you shouldn't miss this one.
"Good Horror Story"
I felt unease from the first few minutes listening to this story. It took a bit of listening to place it in time. I guess if I had looked at the Publisher's Summary I would have seen that it was 1939, but I didn't so I had to try to figure it out, which I did eventually.
At first the unease is in the relationship between Frank and Eudora. The author does a good job to give you a sense that there is something off about the relationship, and you discover later that the start of their relationship has created chaos and trauma for them both.
Then there is Whitbrow, and that place is odd and so many things make you uneasy that you know something is going on. The town has a strange ritual of sending pigs across the river as a sacrifice and when they decide it's a silly ritual and to stop, things go haywire.
A good horror story makes me uncomfortable as this one did. There is one scene towards the end that still makes me a little ill thinking about it, but it is what the one thing that allows Frank to make a decision about what he is going to do and is crucial to the story.
Well written, nice prose, and a sense of unease that blooms into terror. What more could you want from a horror novel?
"A Guilty Pleasure"
Funny, I didn't find the narrator nearly as bad as so many have said. I thought Tess was kind of a flighlty character and the narrator fit her well. It didn't bother me at all.
I titled this "A Guilty Pleasure" because I can see that it's not really a great book, but I enjoyed it all the same. It's kind of like a romance novel with the "steamy" parts cut out, which is fine with me. Girl runs away to America, gets on the Titanic, survives, must choose between two men, and deal with a talented but demanding dress designer and her empire. That about sums up the whole story.
I have to say, though, when I was reading the part where the Titanic was sinking I was absolutely riveted. I was so involved in what was going on I have no real memory of driving home. That part was definitely worth the credit. The author did a nice job of weaving fictional characters into a story with real events and real characters. The designer Lady Lucile Duff Gordon was a real person who survived the Titanic sinking and was credited with starting one the first off the rack clothing lines and Tess' story revolves around her. Some of the trial is included in the story and intrigued me enough to look online for the transcript of the trial, which you can read in its entirety.
If you want a kind of Summer at the Beach listen this might be a good story. If you want something more substantial, I'd say pass.
I love historical fiction and thought I would like to read about Catherine de Medici. I guess I picked the wrong book. I almost did not go beyond the first part of the download. I could not stand the character as a child and found her to be so simpering and annoying that I wondered why anyone would write about her, let alone want to read about her.
It picked up a bit in the middle section, and then lost me again in the end. Too much intrigue, too much astrology ( and I can't believe I would say that, but I was tired of it), and too much of poor decision making that led to disasterous consequences. It took me quite a bit longer to get through this story because I found my mind wandering and I kept having to repeat sections to get caught up. I'd rather read something that keeps my attention.
Again, it's personal preference but this story just did not hit the mark for me.
"Enjoyed This Story - Good but Not Great"
I'm not sure why the reference was made to Outlander, because this is certainly not the saga that Outlander was. Maybe because of the time travel element. I did, however, really enjoy this book. It's fairly light. Some of it is sad because it starts out explaining how Eva is feeling all alone in the world and why she travels to Cornwall where she spent some wonderful Summers as a child.
It's interesting mode of time travel portrayed in this book, sort of a merging between two worlds that Eva has access to, but cannot control. Plus there is an addition of another time traveler and a few twists that make it a really interesting read. The author made an interesting point that in our modern world the idea that time cannot be changed is so ingrained that we believe it to be true, but she wonders if it is actually true. Events in the book lead you to make a guess at her conclusion.
It's not Diana Gabaldan if that's what you are looking for, but it's a nice listen and I kept wanting more. In fact, I was sorry when it ended. I would like to have seen what happened next.
The narration was well done. Nothing outstanding, but I think the narratot's voice fit Eva's character well.
I believe I will try another of this author's stories. These kinds of books make my commute much more enjoyable.
"Great Narration, Poor Story"
As another reviewer said, the narration of Kate Winslet was wonderful and I enjoyed listening to her, I just wish I had enjoyed the story more. I understand it is a study in jealousy and in how people handle guilt and remorse, but the writing style just failed to keep me interested. The idea behind this reminded me very much of Poe's Tell-Tale Heart.
Of course it is a matter of personal preference, but for me I found the story extremely boring and the characters so flawed that I didn't care what happened to any of them. In fact, most every character is so flawed that they become cookie cutter "bad," like the proverbial villian in the black clothing of old movies.
As much as I love listeining to Kate Winslet, the story just didn't catch my interest.
"Did I listen to a Different Book?"
After reading so many great reviews I was excited to listen to The Winter Palace. Historical fiction is hands down my favorite genre. I love seeing an event in history woven into a story. When well written, I almost feel I was there. I also very much enjoy stories of Russia and have been very happy listening to Russian Winter and The Romanov Bride.
The Winter Palace fails on so many levels. First, as others have said, the narration was terrible. It's not only the accent, it's more the odd way the narrator emphasizes her sentences. With a good enough story it could be overlooked but this story was boring, boring, boring. I almost didn't finish it.
Next was the poor character development. Catherine the Great is seen as a simpering, crying, and maipulated fool, and her husband is a man who never grew up and a total idiot. The Empress Elizabeth is cruel and horrible. Who could care what happened to any of them? Historically accurate or not (no idea), I could not have cared less about any of them. Even the protagonist was a shallow, weak woman who only took control at the end of the story and by then I was just happy for it to end. Was there nothing redeeming about any of these people? We never see any inkling of why Catherine was named The Great.
Another issue was how the author continually used foreshadowing that never went anywhere. I found it annoying to hear the narrator say "I later wished I had noticed the bitterness in his voice." So I expected that to be explained "later," but it never was. Either the editing was terrible or the author just doesn't weave a story well.
And I was so often distracted with the dullness of the story I found myself lost with who was who and had to rewind to listen to pieces to figure out what was happening, which generally wasn't very much. The author also has a tendency to refer to people by two names and it gets confusing to whom she is referring. In the first half of the book the Chancellor of Russia is important character, and then in the second half he loses his position and is refered to by name. Somewhere along the line I missed his name and so I was continually trying to figure out if this guy was the former Chancellor or some other male character. I don't think the reader/listener should have to work that hard.
Finally, this book just failed to grab my attention or keep it for any length of time. Just a disappointment overall. Hopefully my next credit will be a much better listen!
"Little House on the Prarie revisited"
This book kind of meanders along when Rose shows up to help a widow keep his house and help with his three boys. Her brother comes along and you can't help but be facinsated by his character as well. Of course they have a secret which in the end is the focal point of this coming of age story.
I kind of wondered if it was just going to be a set of vignettes and never really get anywhere, but all the little pieces fall into place as it goes along. If you find it slow at first, just keep going (although sometimes it's easier to just move to something else.) The author did an excellent job of weaving the facts of the time with his historical fictional characters, such as Hailey's Comet.
I must admit I hated the narrator at first. And yet the longer I listened to the story, the more the narrator seemed to fit into it. So if you like Little House types of stories, this may be a good one for you. By the end I was excited to get in the car and listen and I found myself sitting in the driveway for extra time to listen befor heading in the house. I thought about this on long after I finished reading it.
"Well Done!"
I enjoyed this book. I thought the handling of the witches, vampires, and demons was excellent. It is only similar to Twilight (as others have stated) in that a vampire and a woman (in this case a witch) fall in love and that is forbidden in this society. The vampire Matthew has quite a history and it is interesting to watch that part of the story weave itself into the main story.
Diana is a flawed character, which I much prefer to a perfect main characater, and her flaws just enhance the course of the story. A witch that can't perform any magic doesn't make any sense until the pieces start to fall into place.
I especially love the house where Diana's aunts live. It's alive and full of ghosts, and everyone just accepts it. Really a lot of fun.
I recommend this to any fan of supernatural fiction. It's interesting and just fun. I can't wait for the next book. The ending screams for a sequel.

APTA currently is in discussion with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding new interpretive guidelines that were issued November 18, 2011. This recent interpretation states that rehabilitation services must be ordered by a qualified practitioner who is responsible for the care of the patient and who has medical staff privileges to write orders for these services. CMS' Conditions of Participation rules apply to both inpatient and outpatient hospital-based settings and apply not only to Medicare beneficiaries but to all patients who receive services at the hospital.
APTA believes that this new interpretation is inconsistent with the current regulation and that it poses problems for physical therapists and their patients in hospital-based settings. The association is working diligently to get further clarification from CMS and will keep members updated as soon as more information is available.

The Service
Hi RTM!Love this product, I have been using it for years and this is the first time it's operated in the way I didn't expect.I need to set a reoccurring reminder to pay my rent at the end of the month. Looking at the date formats available to me there is a "Pay Rent at End of Month" option!https://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/?ctx=basics.basics.dateformatWhen I set Repeat to "every 1 month" it doesn't repeat at the end of the month, it jumps to the next date at the end of a month that has the same number of days it was originally created in.I created it originally for January with a due date of "End of month" and repetition of "Every 1 month".When I complete the task, it doesn't jump to a due date with Feb 28th like it should, but to March 31st. Then again to May 31st and so on through all the months with 31 days in it.Just thought I'd let you know!Cheers!
Posted at 12:53am on January 26, 2013
Hi rjp1958,We don't currently support an "end of the month" repeat interval. The help document you posted is for due date formats only.Depending on your requirements, you may want to try repeating the task each month on the 28th, or each month on the 1st to ensure that it repeats correctly. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
Posted 2 years ago
This might be related to http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/help/16792/
Another, clumsy, workaround is to have a 1/31 task repeating annually, a 2/28 task repeating annually, a 3/31 task repeating annually, etc. How you handle leap years is up to you. Not ideal, but does the trick.

Proper risk management and internal control help organizations understand the risks they are exposed to, put controls in place to counter threats, and effectively pursue their objectives. They are therefore an important aspect of an organization's governance, management, and operations. Professional accountants can and should play a leading role in helping their organizations achieve an integrated, organization-wide approach to risk management and internal control—which ultimately helps create, enhance, and protect stakeholder value.

MarthaNew Formula Is TerribleI have been a faithful Chi Silk Infusion user for years. Always loved it but this last bottle that I bought is different. The old version was an amber color and had a nice scent and made my hair very soft. The new formula is clear and has no scent & is terrible on my hair! My hair actually seems dried-out after using it. No idea why they changed it up. I wish I liked the new version even just a little bit, but its bad.Reply to this postJan 4, 2014Link to this post
Clara M.Same ProblemReally desapointed with the with ne product. The smell was great, this one has almost none.Apr 18, 2014Link to this post
TerrieLooking For Answers, New Product...I agree with Martha and the others. The "new" Chi Silk Infusion is destroying my hair. I too have been dedicated to this product, and am very disappointed by this change. I am looking for a new product to use any suggestions??????Mar 6, 2014Link to this post
Lisa O.Did The Color Change?I love this product. I have course and thick hair and it really helps to control it. However, I recently bought a bottle from my hair salon and it seems different. The color is clear and not yellow like it normally is. Did the formula change? It almost looks like Biosilk which I have also used but don't like as much. Thanks.Reply to this postFeb 15, 2013Link to this post
LindaNJChanges To ChiI thought I bought a bootleg version. The color has changed and it does not work like the old formula. I will no longer be using it.Oct 6, 2013Link to this post
Heather P.MIColor ChangeI was wondering the same thing and can't seem to find any answers:(Mar 16, 2013Link to this post
Dana P.United StatesGreat Product. Review+tipThis product is AMAZING. My hair is pretty normal, not too greasy and not dry either. It's thick and my natural color is Medium Brown. I personally.. LOVE the smell.. It smells like Guys Hollister Cologne.. BUT once you put the product in your hair.. it DOES change scents I've noticed.. It smells a lot more natural and Summery. There is one tip/ quick thing I want to tell you because It's a mistake I made... When you go to flip the bottle upside down because you want product it comes out FAST. and SOO much gets on your hand and it personally made me feel like I was wasting product.. soo be careful... even when you are careful, one little squirt will give you a nickel size.. just a warning. The bright side, It makes your hair super soft, and My hair is already thick.. but although you thick-haired people probably know that thick hair can easily lead to frizziness. and This product tames that frizziness.. soo I can embrace my thick hair and it still looks tame :) It doesn't weight my hair down then.Reply to this postJun 5, 2012Link to this post
Joyce W.Winchester IL.Chi For Both Skin & HairI have a small bottle & it stats on it that it can be used on skin & hair, I have been using it on my face & hair both & love the way it feels, but have not been able to find any that says for both skin & hair, any one know where I can find it.Oct 19, 2012Link to this post
SissyJan 17, 2012Link to this post
Josephine T.United StatesHeat ProtectantDo I need another heat protecting spray when blow drying and flat ironing my hair in addition to the silk infusion? It does not say anywhere it the description that it protects against heat, but many of the reviews says it does. I do not want to weigh my hair down with too many products but I do not want to damage my hair too since its already quite dry.Reply to this postNov 3, 2011Link to this post
Dana P.United StatesHeat Protectant Use.It would probably just be safe to use a heat protectant with this product. While this does soo much already... Smoothes out hair, makes it soft, thicker, shiny... it is/ and does feel extremely oily... therefore the heat device would only suck it up and brittle your hair. Soo to be safe you should probably use one. I've learned from experience. :)Jun 5, 2012Link to this post

The little package of Ageless Oxygen Absorber, in the Beef Jerky Packages you find.
You know...I think I managed to get my son thru life (he's almost 18 years old) without him eating non-edible items. That's what you call a picky eater!
I don't have kids, but I purportedly ate a screw when I was young.
Half a cockroach. Apparently they don't taste good because she spit out the back half. We couldn't ask her about it - because she couldn't talk yet - so we can only speculate on the taste.
Her poop. She got into her diaper once after waking up from a nap, and when I walked in it was smeared on the crib, her clothes, hair, face and around and in her mouth. I still prefer this over half a roach though, Paulpnevada. I have an awful phobia of roaches.
Ivory liquid dish soap.
sticks and stones ! Yet i have broken many bones
Dish washing Cubes. Doans back medicine and misc. Stickers.
It would have to be between LEGO bits and dead flies from the windowsill. Oh, wait. The rat poop. Right. Damn you, long-term memory, I told you to never mention that again.
Liquefied flies and roaches in an old coke can.
Boogers - and I can't get her to STOP IT!!!
A cigerette butt off the ground at an amusment park.
Crayons. Not just the crayolas either. She would eat the cheapie dollar store ones and....shudder.... rose art. Ewwww.
Old Spice deoderant. That one really grossed me out because she liked it!
Mechanical Pencil Erasers. My daughter would eat them by the dozen if she found them ... which lead to some interesting diaper changes.
Once she made it to the cat box while the gate was down. Panic and desperate calls to the pediatrician followed by semi-hysterical laughter. And a few drinks during her naptime.
a worm off the driveway after a rainstorm. We were out there to play in the puddles and my daughter puts a worm in her mouth and slurps it in like spaghetti.
My oldest liked to lick and chew everything long beyond the timeline where that's acceptable (turns out she has some sensory issues - who'd have thunk it?). Windows were an issue, but the worst was that one time we found her chewing her dad's soldering lead.
BlackCreekBearTRP1 wrote:The little package of Ageless Oxygen Absorber, in the Beef Jerky Packages you find.
Oh, we dealt with that, too! Poison control assured me that it isn't actually poisonous.
The furniture, she starts at the corners. She ate a crayon once, but that didn't bother me that much because they are just food grade wax and pigment. I have to admit, some of the stuff kids eat is really funny.
I caught mine with his mitts in my tub of CJ's BUTTer which is a diaper cream. Luckily it is an all natural balm made of non toxic ingredients like coconut oil etc - but he was covered in it. On the plus side he smelled wonderful. He also likes to go after our dog's chewing hoofs (actual animal hoofs for chewing - they smell awful - imagine the scent of one giant toenail that a dog chews on).
Ladybugs. Yuck!
Battery out of a car remote.
My six yr old gave my 4 yr old a razor blade to lick.
A foam "rubber" ducky that was SWAG from a tradeshow. She also looooves leaves and shares them with the dog. But she's only 9 months so the fun is just beginning.
gum from under a seat at the movie theater...he was 2... i don't have the heart to tell him now at 17.
McDonalds. Boogers are a close second...
Antique glass Christmas ornament. He was 2.
what's wrong with woot? why isn't crap an answer when you know your kid ate some. I know mine did, but it wasn't on my watch so I didn't have to brush her teeth.
You decide, either a worm or sand because he's eaten both.
well, mine ate a bumble bee out of a spider web. No kidding and it was ALIVE! but all ended well, except for the bee...

Almost too attractive to shut away in the dark, our Zig-Zag Drawer & Shelf Liner is a non-adhesive, gripping material that enlivens your cabinets, shelves, and drawers while protecting their contents. The open-weave design allows for air circulation. Cut it to fit with ordinary household scissors. Place under electronics, between plates, or anywhere a degree of cushioning is needed. It can also be cut to make attractive and practical placemats, coasters, and tray liners. In addition to its protective qualities, it prevents slipping and sliding of the items placed on them. For those with RV's or boats, this is indispensable for lining all cabinets and shelves to keep things put while you cruise the road or the seas. The liner is washable and reusable for economy and the ecology.

Actually, the 3D documents coming very soon will cover R300, so you may be luck in the near future.
I have a dream... a day when I can use my mobility x300 haw it can be works, a day when compiz is usable (with Radeon Open-Source is usable, with fglrx 8.01 no), when I can see all my video without problem and I can see my dvd on TV with tv-out (don't work with Radeon, little bit with fglrx), when I can play x-plane (with Radeon no, with fglrx yes!!!!), when ???
I can't understand why fglrx driver are unusable with compiz, it's a driver problem not an hardware problem, with Radeon it works great, fast, but, sometimes, it crashes, ok is Open-Source driver, fglrx now support AIGLX, but,.. it's slow, very slow.
3D performance of fglrx now is good, I can play games, but with radeon no, why? beacuse AMD release the spec of new hardware but nothing, nothing, nothing for old hardware, but not so old, for example in Italy the majority of people have an R300 or R400, and AMD? the most used and consolidated hardware is the poor supported, no spec, and bad fglrx support than for the new driver, I repeat, I CAN'T UDERSTAND. WHY NO SPEC FOR R300?
Why all the things I need works but something with a driver something with another driver, is ridicoulus.
And, at the end, with fglrx driver I was forced to change disto from fedora to ubuntu, but I hate Ubuntu, isn't clean and stable like fedora, but fglrx works better.
AMD, only a question, WHY?
Is simple, but no answers.
That's all folks
Actually, the 3D documents coming very soon will cover R300, so you may be luck in the near future.
Yes, the next round of info should also cover the workstation products.
Billybore, the main reason for releasing info on the newer chips first was that there was zero information available for those chips (although the avivo guys did a surprisingly good job reverse engineering 5xx), while there was already an open source driver for the 3xx parts and only the 3d part was really missing info.
We want to get the newer parts to the same level as the 3xx as a first step, then 3d improvements for any of the 3xx through 5xx chips (and maybe 6xx) will generally also improve the other chips in that range as well.

Is there a time table for the releasing of documents? (in general, like for the upcoming tcore stuff)
There's a sequence but not a precise timetable. The minute something is ready we release it.
Tcore took a lot more work to clean up than we expected, and started to get in the way of working on 3d. Since the SuSE developers already had a pre-release copy of tcore under NDA we figured that pushing ahead on 3d should be the priority and the final cleanup of tcore is happening in parallel.
We already know 99% of r300/r400 hw so specs won't fix the driver. The problem you are facing are just the outcome of the old infrastructure on which current r300 driver is built. Even if current driver can be improved to have better performance i don't think you can compete without a proper memory manager. Current spirit is upload texture when you do rendering ie in worst case you can reupload the whole texture set at each frame which kill performance. Not talking about reading from framebuffer like doom3 is doing which also kills performance.
Why put all the work into an "outdated" driver infrastructure. I think that it would make more sense to develop a new r(3-5,6?)xx ttm / galium driver. Galium and ttm are not finished yet, but until we see a working r500/r600 driver will also take some time.
I believe we need to do both.
We don't have any intentions of adding significant functionality to the current 3d driver, just extending the current fixed-function support (GL 1.3-ish) to 5xx and 6xx. That will be enough to demonstrate how the new chips need to be programmed, and will provide a quick path to supporting 3d desktops, Google Earth, and similar 3d apps.
Any work past that (ie work on the driver rather than just adding support for new GPUs) should be on a newer architecture. I expect that the timing will work out just right.

This area of the wiki is for those who have tried getting a Windows or Linux game running on PC-BSD. Those who wish to add their results may do so in the table below.
The promise of non-native games on PC-BSD
It is well known that a constant stream of games arrive on store shelves for Windows and that a few titles sometimes are available for Linux, but that does not mean BSD is left without options. There are two main methods that can be used to access games, and both are through some kind of emulation or compatibility layer. FreeBSD (and therefore PC-BSD) has a Linux compatibility layer. There are a number of emulators, and a program (Wine) containing a subset of Windows capability that has been ported to BSD. It is hoped that through this list more games may be discovered that work but do not (or cannot) exist as PBIs, and also perhaps, by way of this information, assistance might be given to increase the amount accessible to PC-BSD.
Note: This page pertains to PC-BSD version 9.x.
Libraries and other files
Documentation and Examples
- Previously ported linux-doom3[2] that might be used as an example.
Steam.msi (Microsoft) can be installed on pcbsd with the last Wine version (1.5.19)
The only problem is no displaying text.
In order to resolve it :
- Run wine regedit.
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam in the tree.
- Look for a DWriteEnable value in the panel on the right. If it doesn't exist, add it as a DWORD value.
- Set DWriteEnable to 0 and exit out of the registry editor.
What currently works
Table: Games that have been attempted. How well does this version of the game run?

Here are three of our faculty members teaching in the MSAc and MSOM programs here at National University. They are just a sampling of the several dozen professors and instructors in basic and clinical sciences that are part of acupuncture and oriental medicine instruction in our College of Professional Studies. View Faculty Directory »
Dr. Yu Zhu received her MD in China and has worked in China, Sweden, Israel, and the US. "I love American students. They are free thinking and their minds are very active. In my class, we are very into discussion and debate." |
"My goal is to make sure that students have the confidence to operate as a sole practitioner when they graduate. Extensive clinical intern experience and one-to-one access to faculty clinicians are keys to building that confidence." |
In addition to earning her MD in China, Dr. Cai completed two fellowships in biomedicine and earned her PhD in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2004. Dr. Cai teaches several courses at NUHS and travels to other oriental medical colleges across the country to give seminars on women's health and cancer treatment. |
"When you are out there practicing as an acupuncturist or as an oriental medical practitioner, you will have to interact with DCs, NDs and MDs. If you have no access to them while you are in school and don't understand their perspective, you will be at a disadvantage." |

100 amps of electricity crackle in a vacuum chamber, creating a spark that transforms carbon vapor into tiny structures. Depending on the conditions, these structures can be shaped like little, 60-atom soccer balls, or like rolled-up tubes of atoms, arranged in a chicken-wire pattern, with rounded ends. These tiny, carbon nanotubes, discovered by Sumio Iijima at NEC labs in 1991, have amazing properties. They are 100 times stronger than steel, but weigh only one-sixth as much. They are incredibly resilient under physical stress; even when kinked to a 120-degree angle, they will bounce back to their original form, undamaged. And they can carry electrical current at levels that would vaporize ordinary copper wires.

However, this company was more than happy to fix the problem. Shipping was super fast! I would recommend this company to anyone looking for really cool invites!
By KGfrom Philadelphia, PA
Product Comments: I really liked the way the invitations came out. I ordered the acqua combination, and was able to work with one of the representatives to personalize the layout a little more and take out the initials. The quality is good; however if you are in a rush I would recommend paying extra for rush service, as standard delivery took almost two weeks. Also, we received the wrong invitations the first time around. It was not a problem as we were not in a rush, and customer service was very nice.

I've gotten some comments back from friends that they just love our wedding invitations, that they are different but also so cute! I'm very happy with the product! The price was great!

So far as all the drama nonsense that has happened because of this, I think it has caused certain people to show their true colors. I also think that the people doing the 'mud slinging' have not shown their brightest colors.
One comment that I hope this post answers is one by Darxus, an influential personality that has been a consistent problem against me. Taken from the GH-Next phoronix article comments:
Also, lets not forget that soreau was not banned due to his lack of social grace alone. The final straw was his refusal to use an existing mechanism to retain protocol compatibility when making his needed protocol changes, insisting on doing it in a way that would break things, without providing a reason
First of all, for the record, Darxus is not a core wayland developer. If you would like to be the judge, please refer to his wayland/weston commits. Second of all, this is a completely false statement. It also has a very tyrannical tone to it. The implication is that I am not compliant with certain fabricated 'rules'.
On the contrary, I have been fully compliant with Kristian and the other core wayland developers. However, when ultimate goals diverge to the point where two parties can no longer work together, it is not a particularly good investment of time to continue trying to solve problems from either side.
Darxus and Daniel's mud-slinging works throughout this ordeal are frivolous, unwarranted, unnecessary, childish, completely ridiculous and an outright waste of everyone's time with specific intent to damage my public image. Let's not allow these such incidents to overshadow the countless amount of good people who have put in the time, work and dedication to bring us to the point where we are today.
I enjoy working on this code and it's not too terribly difficult once you have the basics down. On the other hand, the effort required for me to convey my reasonings to others immense. I think one of the reasons I have failed to communicate effectively is because it takes more time. Time is costly and I don't have a lot to go around. Also, explaining myself repeatedly gives me a headache. I don't plan on doing much more of it in this context.
A quick comment about Mir. I do not necessarily see their decision as wrong because it is right for them. However, I do think that Mark Shuttleworth should probably have explained a lot more in detail his reasonings. He owes it to all the people that believed him when he vowed to use wayland as their next display platform target.
